The response was "aye," and, wheth er the commotion which followed wan to overcome the (bjrerions of his little majesty to be hid as in thu fashionahle world, or whether it was found difficult to decide ub ?.o the latter request, has not transpired. As regtrds tho last it is feared wo shall have to go to the 7'inies' oflkc for good looks.

Hut at last the consolation dorived from atf old saying which makes it impossible for break iieck rteps to do their office on certain children of tfcstiny', is accepted. TTpand inside?Mrs. K. requests that as printers are always in want of copy, they will insert Moloch with illuminated lettering, to which th i objection is rul ed that Molo-h is so Urge and the pipe r so small. It is decided that such copy is not nvailablc. Now the truth is that Mohieh in a snub noBC, and the editor has some of the right s-irt :?t homo, (hatchet-faced,) and the forcm in thinks as did the fox, that the gripes are sour. 'Tis explained to us tint typ es are set wrong end up, and they obligingly set Moloi-h up thus?the type wo mean.

Tho quality of the ammunition used, is no doubt the cause of sucli longevity among newspaper men. In conclusion wo exclaim, the poor printer, picking up type half his time, and picking tthem down the other, halt ! No wonder ho will frolic if ho have the opportunity. No wonder that he is glad when .Saturday coracs, that he may rid himself, of this "old man of the son."

Some como West with the purpose of accumulating Ja competency and thou return East to enjoy it. Others come simply to stay a certain length of time uud then go back whelher-or no. Occasionally you will find a man whose purpose it is to locate here permanently, but "will wait a while i ud ceo." Thus they will live and die, and be resurrected in the West; for alter a few months or years they do not "see just how they can make it c >uvcn icul to return Euut." W. T. Baker, of this city, has un earthed an heir loom, uud is erenting u stir among rheumatic people and those suffering various nervous ailments. Hu has been offered a handsome figure for tho sole secret of manufacture, but says it now belongs to tha people, wh) can have it for the sending. It is a simple pad. easily made and certainly contains wonderful curative qualities. Mr. Bak er made it public, for the first, iu Janu ary. llcavon help the poor editors. There are now four newspaper/1, in this oity. Remember us in your doTotious. A dress-nutker ocross the way wants several copies of the News for pattern 1 paper. AVe couccded that it was a good pattern sheet, and for that reason we preferred to keep it on our file. We gave her several old ' papors, and she made considerable of a hustle with them. Trading Post. [From tho New York Tribune."] The fact that a committee of gentle men, representing the aristooraoy of old families and State Bights, is now in Washington supplicating for redress by the interference of the general govorn mcnt, tolls tho whole sad story of op pression and humiliation It is not a spectue'e that should gratify anybody. W-e believe every count in their indict ment of the colored majority in South Carolina can be sostainod. No Ameri can Common wealth ever suffered more from tho domination of dopravicy and ignorance. The outlooks seotns hope loss. How a State thus afflicted may be restored to a healthy condition is a question demanding the serious coa sidcration of etat es moo. Wo are not surprised to find the suilorers proposing quack rcmcdios for tho disease ; but with all sympathy and concern for the patieut it is the duty of the wiso physi cian to deny the request. The proposi tion of the South Carolina memorialists as expressed by individual mombers is that the reconstruction aots bo so amend ed as to wrest the Stato from the hands of llhc colored majority now in power, and place it under tho eootrol of the taxpayer* and the educated class. It is always dosirnble that intelligence and respectability shall rulo; hut it is not right, that even this good end should be accomplished by overriding the popular will by congressional intorfor once. No suoh dangerous precudent should be sot, even for a good purpose ; aud if such a precedent already exists, it should not be followed. If this plan is adopted iu South Carolina, it would seem to justify not a few of tho politi cal crimes which have made the Repub lican party, as it exists in some other Southern States, odious in tho eyes of the , world. It will not do. Special legislation is not the proper romedy for political wrongs. If tho distressed people of South Carolina ask 'What, I then, shall we do V wo answer, in the language of Gov. Kemper, that 'thore can be no security for liberty but ia an immovable adherence to fundamental principles' Precedents of tho kiud which ascribe unlimited power to a legislative body and assume that it miy subvert the dearest principles of liberty at will aro but 'bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor. Abandon party alliances; strive for a u lion of honest men irrespee tivo of their nativity, color or previous condition; neglect no opportunity of exposing tho rascality of your present ruler: ; show the nation that you are not fighting on dead issues, but for living prineipIes,*for good government, honetty in high places, an 1 equal rights btfore the law ; purgo your registration lists and keep the ballot box free at any cost, n ith sush a policy aul by tho use of such moans you must succeed, though patience may be uocessary to await the day of your victory. In the meantime know that oppressed South Carolina has the sympathy of all friends of good government, aud that tho battlo now going on everywhere between honesty on the one hand aad corruption on the other cannot but rod mud to your advantage. W. AT to Do! [From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican."] The story of th9 prostrate State bus becu told too ofteu an 1 too fully in these columns to uoed another retelling. It is a pitiful story, a shameful story. It has about it something at once of the hideous unreality aud thu sickening oppressiveness 'of the nightmare. It docs not secuApoisible, w<i can hardly 'bring ouraeLtqSMMo believe that ?pcti ? (story can be trVh fully told of 4n Am sri can Common want 1th, one of the Old Thirteen, theoretically thj sister and equal of Massachusetts. The evidence , however, is too voluminous, e<>h*rcnt and cumulative to admit of ?1 tubt. To all the other proofs', a fresh and convinc ing one is now added in the spectacle of tho white citizens of the Stato, the ex slaveholders and ex-rebels, begging at the bauds of a Republican President and a Republican Congress the boon of a Federal intervention These man, not so very long since, were the iereas sticklers for ictate rights to be found in the country, as their fathers and grand - fathers had been before them. They would have gons to the death soonor than tolerate any intermeddling on the part of the general government in the internal affairs of South Carolina. Now they invite nni even implore it. Tho fact is more eloquent than anything in their memorial. * * * The appeal to the Federal oothority having proved a failure, the ejection recurs, What to do? Two couues aro open to these South Carolina tax.payers. We assume that nu mined rising agaiust the existing State (i over innen; is out of the question. The first of thesj courses is, to organize a passive, peaceable rebellion ; in other words, to refuse to pay thair taxes, after the Louisiana precedent. Some of tho delegates are quoted as baring told the IIoubc committee that this plan wotld be tried, unless relief W?l speedly forth coming. Tho Ufas is;, of oourse, o coerce Congross into doing what it wi 1 not do voluutarily The a loptiou <f this plaj would, of necessity, oau* great confusion aud excitement in th State ; it might easily lead to bloodshed even if it did not, it might not prove s. feasible- and officicimi as those wht Tavor ?t profess to believo. A muck better and safer plan, as it sooms to us will be to steadily and hopefully per severe in the path upon which they havo already entered; undisciuragcd by the disappointment and meagre results of | the post, to redouble their efforts to secure the confidence of the colored voters, detaoh them from the carpet baggers and the soalawags, aud educate them in the duties of citizenship. Con ciliation, education?in those two words lies tho hope of South Carolina . Th s ox slaveholders have already made a good beginning in divesting thom?olves of much of their old partisanship and prejudice of race* Their boit and most hopoful plan is to go straight ahead in this line. Tho oireutmtancos and con dition.! aro more favorable than ever before. Lot the taxpayors bo of good courage. Thoy havo reaped tho harvest from a bad sowing. Let them now sow kindness instead of conto:npt, sympathy in?tead of arrogance, justice instead of oppression. This seed, too, always comes up. Thej shall reap in due sea-ion, if they faint not. The Charleston New* And The Tax-PnyerH' Convention. [From the Greenville Republican ] There are some lessons to bo derived from the late gathering at Columbia which called itself tho Tax-payers' Contention, which it would bo well for the people of this State to take to heart. Ono of these lessons is, put not your faith in the Charleston Newt and Cour ier*. Now, wo do not mean by this to say that the news columns of this sheet are unreliable, or that it habituilly and willfully misleads its readers. Hut what we do mean to say is, that no faith oan bo placed in the political course of this paper. Why, in this year of Grace, 1864, we find it making fierce assaults on tho Executive, legi ?l.ui vc aud judicial branches of tho State government; we see in foremost in its attacks on the so called 'Printing ring;' we heir it* thin dors of denunciation against corruption in the Republican narty and every little while feeding its vanity by publishing some compliment of itself, written by sonic innocent counfy mau who really believes that the Newt ami Courier moans .That it says. Hut there are some among tho people of both parties in this State who have lougcr memories than these same flat, tcrers to the News and Courier's vanity! There arc some of us who<e memories go back to a period earlier than the year 1873, and who can recall some of the events of the years 1871 and 1872. We belong, unhappily, to this num ber. We recall the d<tys whon the Charleston News wiu> tho o.ii -ial 'organ4 of Charleston county; when it publish od the lawn of the State as advertisements, for which it charged lull rato<; when it roan d out a* mildly aa any sacking dovo at the patient wrongs of tho Republi can administration ot that day because, forsooth, it fed on the pap from the public irea>ury. Pretending to be a D-jrmcrttio organ, and the mouthpi "f:e rt< all" vfiatTWaS pSei tically J.onc<t aud virtom in the?.o days, it was content to be in tho p*y of a tio pub'icuu adminiatr-iti >u and maintain ; I Ol.v.iii uilaUKC au !">?? <*S BtlenCe -W?o profitable. And during the campaign of 1872, ?heu tho merit I ntid dcineriu of the rival Republican candidates Jor State uflici rs wric thoroughly discussed, on which side was tho New* lound ? On the s ide of thr present State admlnistra eion, which it is nuw arraiuguing! The editors of that shoet knew per fectly well in to j sum ncr of 1872, what would piobahly bo the aduiiuutratioo which it helped to elect. Helped, do we nuj' Aye, which did more to elect the preacut State government than any one agcooj in the State! lion many timos d'.d it declare its choice to be the candidates w'.io were elected, rather than tho candidates who 'jidted' therigulur Republican ticket, and how its lead was followed by almost every other conservative or Democrat paper in the State ! Rut that tight is over, and thoso of us who were 'bolters' have profited by the lesson ofthat campaign. The News then had its way. In less than two ye i s it i< fierce in its attacks on its own State govern incut. Its editor-in.chief goes to the Tax payers' Convention and denounces the wrongs which, if they arc real, he did m >ro to fasten on the people of this State than any other man in it holding similar position; and if they are "not real, it is worm than puerile to ory and lament ovor. He can not plead ignorance of what would bo the probable conduct of the State government. He knew what was the past history ofits membars, and from that could tell what "its future career would bo. If the 'Printing Ring' is a swindlo and a wring in 1374, it was one in 1871 2; but the News said nothing tagainat it then | Why 1 Let the vouch ers in tho State treasury auswer !] What evideuco has tho New* and Courier furni-hed that it will stay in tho path ef'reform* which it has opened up, or that it will uot itself fall bofare allurements of placo and power 7 I Let the people oi this State consider his question well before thoy submit to ts dictation or guidance Is there auy ublic qucstien on which it ] has had a ked opinion during the last four or five ^nrs? Politically, has It not alternately pined and condemed the Republican aii in iterations of this State, both with ream und without rcasou ? tea it not advooated Northern immi gtion with one breath and denounced evW Norther^ Republican as a thieviug calt beggor with its next ? Is it not been a ial.se prophet and a bu guido to ^ honest seekers after trutin tho past, and has roccnt course bcoinch ss to mako it worthy to stand as a truo prophet aud an infallible guide ?ow? We don't sec the evidence yet te con vince us of its fairness or eincerity. It still savors of the uusoundness of 1871, 1872 and 1873, and we suspect that it is even now trimming its sails so as to be ready to profit by sueh windfalls as the campaign of this year may throw in its way. Would that it were otherwise; would that wo might hare in our ooutempjra ry a political opponent which was all that it demands in tho way of honesty and fair dealings from the Republican party of this State. - Rut so long as its course continues to be what it has been in the past, so long must ws rofaie to accept as oracles the words of advice which come to us tbrou gh its editorial columns.
