It seems that Sh Carolina bonds to the amount of sit $400,000 have to be paid next tar. The money with which to met them cannot be raised by taxationot by issuing and selling new bonds. .t present prices, it will require $ 00 of new bonds, which bond,, whet it be so express ed on their face or , will ultimate ly have to be paid l gold. Now the bonds that will b gued under the coin-bill just past p lging the Stat;e to redeem all of fts seruritiss, princi pal and interes in gold, will rise from $65 to $ 0 in ou enoy, and command abo 90 in co , so that the debt whico must be m t, will be met by the i0,ae of about $470,000 of coin-bonds, Instead of $600,000 of bonds without specification of pay ment in ooin. The State thus gins by this one effeot of the measure $130,000, which will morpfthan pay the differ enoe between paying the interest on the rest of its debt in coin and paying it in currency. There are, however, many other collateral benefits to ac crue too numerous to mention. But the measure is said to be "in tended to benefit speoulators" Be it so, if only it also benefits the people of the State. Candidly, it strikes us that the Na tional Republican party has been al lowed to take and hold the inside track so far, in the financial affairs of the Union. And we very much fear that opposition, on principle, to every thing originating with the Radicals in this State, may give them also the inside track upon the ques tion of State finance, and oth er questions almost as important. A warning from us, who have no party at present, but are equally rejected by Radicals and Democrats, may nevertheless attract some attention. The National Executive Commit. tee of colored men of the United States. thr4ugh their chairtuan, Rev. Sella Martlu, have prepared an ad. dress to the people of the Republic of Liberia. The address urges the abolition of all prospeoive features in the nation al laws of Liberia; that they believe that the emancipation and enfran ohisementof the black race will re sult in great good to Africa, and es specially to Liberia; requests the p_eople of Libria to Inuence their Congress to initiate measures so as to alter the ouktition and laws by striking out Te worst white, so as to put the Republic of Liberia in accord with the laws of the Un\ted States and those of all other free countries whose constitution restrictions, which have the effect to create prejudice against the color, have Leen abolished.

SO Trumbull reported, wi1 "meod ments, from the Committee on tin Judiciary, a Bill relating to the appel late jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. The Bill, as amended, de olares that the judicial power of the United States gives no power to the Courts to deoide upon political ques tions, and that it rests with Congress to decide what Government is the es tablished one in the State. - It prohi bits the Supreme Court from enter tertaining jurisdiction of any case growing out of the execution of the Reconstruction Acts, until the Gov ernments of the late rebellious States are reorganised by Congress as valid. It repeals all Acts authorising ap. peals to the Supreme Court in Babaes Corpus proceedings. The President is directed to 1u,ld and proceed with all prisoners held in saic States by military authority, without regard to any civil proceedings or authorities whatsoever. At a recent exhibition of the London Photograph Society, flue Fpecimens of colored photographs taken by the carbon process wrre displayed. It is said there is no question about. the perunence of the colors. They are as durable as the matera:als of which they are composed. 'Ithe impressiofi consists only of gelati nm and he pigment chosen for printing chalk, sepin, Indian ink, carlbon, or whatever other material best expresses the effect sought in the reproduction. Already, by this process, in the hands of Baun, of Dornach, all the best drawings of all the great galleries of Europe have been made accessible at trifling pieces, so perfectly reproduced that in many cases it taxes the skill of the practiced connoisseur to distinguish reproduction from original. In spite of the diffieilty of establishing a postion on ground already occupied, says the Londoe Times, this is the process, it would seem, which mnst ultimatly oust all other modes of photographic print. ing. A Southern editor thinks the k'nowl edge of his cotemporary. on constitu tional questions is equivalent to that of the daughter in swimming who fol lowed these directions of her mother: "Oh, other. my I go out to swim 1" "Oh, yes I you may my daughter ; Hang your clothes on a hickory limb, But don't go near the water." The decline in the price of dry goods which has followed the decline in gold. The merchants may com plain, but we think they will be able to stand it; while for the poor, cheap food and clothing with the approac h of winter are great blemings. Senator Sherman, of Ohio, recent ly said that the time had not yet ar rived for a resumption specie pay ment; that it wits dan !s to the commercial classes, a should be gradual.
