Mrs. Kitty having had different and interesting descriptions of the details of type setting, (and the confession is here made that they wfre sometimes a liitlu fabulous,") desires to interview the Ni:w?> ofllee, consequently our card : "Mrs. K.'s compliments, and may she I be admitted to the n>)stories of the | inner vaactuni. If, aye? I'lcnse (denn tins ink from your iu? best stool, hide the Devil ba hind a form as is fashionable in high life, and put the "best favorjd to the lore?Esuout." The response was "aye," and, wheth er the commotion which followed was to overcome the ibjrcrions of his little majesty to be hid as in the fashionable world, or whether it was found difficult to decide as '.o the latter request, has not transpired. As reg ml* tho last it is feared we shall have to go to the Times' offne for good looks.

The first emotion was, that the two dollar dues might be promptly met, that the way up might be bettered. The next, that tho o:jii pants are in danger of breaking their individual necks if this be not d?>uo~. Hut at last the consolation dorived from ntf old saying whiah makes it impossible for break neck rteps to do their office on certain children of Jet-tiuy, is accepted. T:paud inside?Mrs. K. requests that as printers are always in want of copy, they will insert Moloch with illuminated lettering, to which tin objection is riis ed that .Molo-h is so large an 1 the pipe r so small. It is decided that such copy is not available. Now the truth is that Mohich is a snub nose, and the editor has some of tho right s>rt, nt home, (hatchet-faced,) and the foreman thinks as did the (ox, that the gripes arc sour. 'Tis explained to us tint typ es are set wrong end up, and they obligingly set Moloch up thus?the type wo mean. We see tho Nkws' type in waiting like a vnst army under review, each let ter a soldier, ready to d ? the bidding of the pen and ink dispatches which a courier may bring.

Occasionally you will find a man whoso purpose it is to locate here permanently,' but *'will wait a while i ud see." Thus they will live and die, and be returrccted in the West; for alter a few months or years they do not "see just how they can make it cmvcu icut to return East." W. T.

[From tho New York Tribune."] The fact tint a committee of gentle men, representing tho aristocracy of old families and State Bights, is now in Washington supplicating for redress by the interference of the gonoral govorn mcnt, tolls the whole sad story of op pression and humiliation it is not a spectue'e thnt should gratify soy body. W-e believe every count in their indict, mcnt of the colored majority in South Carolina can bo. sustainod. No Ameri can Commonwealth evor suffered more from tho domination of dopravicy and ignorance. Tho outlooks seems hope I less. How a State thus afllictnd may be restored to n healthy condition is a question demanding the sorious con sidcrntion of etuteainoo. Wo are not surprised to find the sufTorors proposing quack rcmcdios for tho disease; but with all sympathy and concern for the patiout it is the duty of the wiso physi eian to deny the request. The proposi tion of the South Carolina memorialists as expressed by individual members is that the i < onnstruet ion acts bo to amend ed as to wrest the Statu from the hands of the colored majority now in power, and place it under tho control of the taxpayers and the educated class. It is always dosirable that intelligence and respectability shall rulo ; but it is not right that even this good end should bo accomplished by overriding the popular will by congressional interfer ence} " No such dangerous precedent should be set, oven for a good purpose ; nud if such a precedent already exists, it should not be followed If this plan I is adopted in South Carolina, it would seem to justify not a few of the politi cal crimen which have made the Repub lican party, as it exists in some other Southern States, odious in the eyes of the . world. It will not do. Special legislation is not the proper remedy for political wrongs. If tho distressed people of South Carolina ask 'What, then, shall we do ?' wo answer, in the language of Gov. Kempor, that 'there can be no security for liberty bot in an immovable adheronco to fundamental principles' Preo.;donts of tho kiud whioh ascribe unlimited power to a legislative body and assume that it may subvert the dvarcst principles of liberty at will aro but 'bloody instrustians, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor.

N ith sueh a policy an 1 by tho use of such moans you must succoed, though patience may be noccssary to await the day of your victory. In the meantime know that oppressed South Carolina has the sympathy of nil friends of good government, and that tho batilo now going on everywhere batweeu honesty on the one hand and corruption on the other cannot but rod >uud to your ndvantage. W.AT TO Do! [From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.] The story of the prostrate State bus becu told too often an 1 too fully in these columns tu need another retelling. It is a pitiful story, u shameful story. It hns about it something at once of the hideous unreality and tho sickening oppressiveness \of the nightmare. lr docs not Bceu?poisible, w<t can hardly b_ring otirsejj&cfifc.te be'in*,. that ?utl. a story cau be trVhfully told of an Am >ri cau CommoniSnilth, one of th* Old Thirteen, theoraticul'y thi sistor and equal of Maaxwfhusetts. Theovideuco, however, is too voluminous, coherent and cumulative to admit nf d iubt. To all tho other proof*, a fresh .md convinc ing one is now added in the spectacle of the white citizens of t ho State, tliu ex slareholder.? and ex-rebels, begging at the hands of a Republican President and a Republican Congress the boon of a Fedcrul intervention These men, not so very long since, were the ierces sticklers fur State rights to be found in the country, as their fathers and grand - fathers had boen before them. They would have gore to the death soonor than tolerate anj intermeddling on the part of the general government in the internal affairs of South Carolina. Now they invite .and even implore it. Tho faot is more eloqtent than anything in their memorial. * * * The appeal to the Federal authority having proved a failure, the question recurs, What to do? Two cnuues aro open to these South Carolina tax-payers. We assume that an armed ri?ng agaiust the existing State Government is out of tho question. The first of thete courses is, to organize a passive, peaceable robcllion ; in other words, to refuse to pay their taxes, after tho Louisiana jrecodent. Some of tho delsgatos are quoted \* baring told'.he House committee that this plan wotld be tried, unless relief wis speedly forti coming. Tho idaa ii, of course, o coerce Congross into diing what it wi 1 not do voluntarily The a loption of this plaj would, of necessity, cau* great confusion and excitement in th State; it might easily load to bloodshed even if it did not, it might not prove s< fcasiblo end efficici mi as those whe favor it profoss to believe. A mud, bettor and safer plan, as it sooms to us will be to steadily and hopefully per severe in the path upou which they have already entered; undisc-mragod by the disappointment aud meagre rosults of the past, to redouble their ofTorts to secure the confidence of tho colored voters, dctaoh them from the carpet baggers nnd the scalawags, and educate thorn in the duties of citizenship. Con oiliatiorJ, education?in those two words lies tho hope of South Caroliua. The ox slaveholders have alroady mado a good beginning in divesting thomsolves of muoh of their old partisanship and prejudice of ruco1 Their bott and ro js t hopoful plan is to go straight ahoad in this line. Tho circumstances and con dition.! aro more favorable than over before. Lot the taxpayors bo of good courage. They havo reaped tho harvest from a bad sowing. Lot them now sow kindness instead of contempt, sympathy instead of arrogance-, justice instead of oppression. This seed, too, always comes up. Thej nhall reap in due season, if they faint not. The Charleston News And The Tax-Payers' Convention. V [From tho Greenville Republican J There are some lessons to bo derived from the late gathering at Columbia which called itself tho Tax-payers' Convention, which it would be well for the peoplo of this State to take to heart. Ono of these lessons is, put not your faith in the Charleston News and Cour ?ei*l Now, wo do not mean by this to say that the news columns of this sheet are unreliable, or that it habUuilly aud willfully misleads its readers. But what we do mean to say is, that no faith can bo placed in the polities! course of this paper. Why, in this yoar of Grace, 1801, wa find it making fierce assaults on tho Executive, legislative aud judicial branches of tho State government; we see in foremost in its attacks on the so called 'Printing ring;' we heir it* th an ders of denunciation aguiust oorruplion in the Republicau uarty and every little while feeding its vanity by publishing some complimout of itaelf, written by some innocent country mau who really believes that the Act? and Courier moans what it says. But 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 are lomo of us whose 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 days when the Charleston Areics w?s the odieial 'organ' of Charleston enmity; when it publish od the law? of the State as advertisement!, for which it charged lullrato?; whon it roared out as mildly as any sacking dovo at the patient wrongs of tho Republi can administration of that day because, forsooth, it fed on the pap from the public trea>ury. Pretending t<> boa Djirocrttio organ, and thf muuthpi tit nil thai"" Was pcU ticallj ,";onc<t aud virtnm in these days, it was content to be in tho pay of a rio pubMcau adntiniatrati m and maintain ; I di.u.v?i uUcuia: ?u >>"?? as alienee -waa profitable. And during the campaigu of 1872, when the merit? and demerits of the rival Republican candidates lor State ofliei r* wetc thoroughly discussed, on which aide was the xVetc* found? On the s itle of the present State administra eion, which it is uow arraiugning! The editors of that sheet knew per fectly well in tit j sum uer of 1372, what would piobahly be the udmiuiatration which it helped to elect. Helped, do wu say? Aye, which did more tu elect the preaeut State government tbau any one agenoy in the Stato! lion many timos did it declare its ohuico to be the candidate! w'.io vmt a elected, rather than tho candidates who ?oi.ltod' the r.gulur Republican ticket, and how its lead was followed by almost every uthcr conservative or Democrat paj er in the State ! But (hat tight is over, and those of us who were 'bolters' have profited by the lesson of that campaign. The News then had its way. In less than two ye i a it i- fierce iu its attacks on its own State government. Its editor-in.chief goes to the Tax payers' Convcnti >n and denounces the wrongs which, if they aro real, ho did ni >ro to fasten on the people of this State thar any uther man in it holding similar position; and if they are "not real, it is wortc than puerile to cry and lament over. He can not plead ignoranee of what would bo the probable conduct of the Stato government. He knew what was the past history of its members, and from that could tell what'its future career would bo. II the 'Printing Ring4 is a swindlo and a wrong in 137-1, it was one in 1871 2; but the yews said nothing tagainst it then | Why ? Let the vouch er? in tho State troatury auswer !] What evideuco has tho Sews and Courier furni-hed that it will stay in tho path of'reform' which it has opened up, or that it will not, itself fall before allurements of place and power f Let the people of this State consider his question well before they submit to ts dictation or guidance Is there auy ublic question on which it ] has had a ted opiuion during the last four or five ^ars? \Politically, has it not alternately pined and coodemed the Republican abinistrations of this Stato, both with r4un and without reason I* las it not advocated Northern immi giion with one breath and denounced evy Northern Republican as a thieving cau beggor with its next ? Is it not been a false prophet and a bid guide to J honest seekers af ter trutin tho past, and has recent course beetuch as to mako it worthy to stand as a true) prophet and au infulliblo guide tow? We don't ice the ovidonoe yet to con vinoe us of its fairness or sincerity. It still savors of the unwound nogs of 1871, 1872 and 1873, and wo suspeot that it is even now trimming its sails eo as to bo ready to profit by sush windfalls as the campaign of this year may throw in its way. Would that it were otherwise; would that we might hare in our coutempjra ry a political opponent which was all that it demands in the way of honesty and fair dealings from tho Republican party of this State. But to long as its course continues to be what it has been in the past, so long must we refuse to accept as oracles the words of advice which come to us thruu gh its editorial columns.
