Great pains and much cartful study and an industrious and Ion" continued search among the bargain centres of the best markets, has enabled me to gather together a Collection of r?t«r» Extra Session Aid. and State Seasonable Xetv Goods* which, in quality, style, beauty and far-reaching variety, is the success of Sometime ago it was earnestly | the season.

These are the general the proposition. This recom |h, up to a recent date, roceiv- (gorsenici.t from the press of (except in two instances, viz., Iigeburg Times and Demo- |theGreenville News. Up to [’he Recordek has said nothing ^the subject for the follow ing reasons, 1st we could not see our way to the carrying out of tlie pioposi- tion in any legal manner. 2nd, We Regarded It, even il legal and practica ble, as entirely unnee'eessary. The proposition of tlie Register we regarded as u generous inspiration be gotten of the sympathy naturally felt /or a people under tlie pressure of a terrible calamity, and for that reason we abstained from commenting un favorably, as we thought the gradual Ojustmeut of thb trouble would re move the necessity and that retiec- r ion would demonstrate the inpracti cability and illegality of the proprosed i jrelief. When we find however that the News and Courier.the only dully paper published in Charleston, and which is supposed to represent on all impor tant matters at least a majority of the best sentiment of Charleston, comes f.rward and urgently endorses the proposition of the Register and presses an application for an extra riessjon of the Legislature, we think jt is f fme £or the press of tlie State to speak out and if possible prevent tlie consummation of so grave an error, so . unbusiness-iike and illegal a proceed- k ' * * J * t • * wyilUtfnrLegislature together in tra session would involve a consid erable and unnecessary expense, cause great complaint and sectional anni- piosity, and acccomplisii worse than jipthiug. Under the pressure of a great public calamity some fifty years ag<>, similar steps were taken to those pow asked for, only tlie issue of what were known as the Fire Loan Bonds Was made by tlie city and not by the fcjtate. What has been the result? Why the Supreme Court of the State decid ed that the bonds were invalid on the ground that bonds issued by the city to build and rebuild waste places in burnt districts or erect im- jirovemeuls of any kind were issued fof private purpones, notwithstanding the advantages that incidentally ac crue to the city. The United States Supreme Court has rulpd in several famous cases in the identical way jUid lt is now considered an indisput able legal proposition that taxation to pay bonds of tiiat character, is not taxation for public purposes, but “tax- ation which takes the private proper ty of one person for the private use of audther person.” 1 Moreyer it Is In direct conflict with ^he fifth'and'foiirthtoeiitli amendments to thecoastitution of the UnitedStates, which provides that no State has the “right to deprive any per son of life, liberty and property with out line process of law.” If tlie State Were to issue bonds for the restoration of privtite property destroyed by the jreceut earthquake in Charleston, it would undoubtedly be a most palpable Violation of this constitutional pro vision as it would be nothing more or less than the. use of public property for private purposes, Which no process |.of law would ever sanction. These briefly stated are the obvious legal ob jections to the scheme. But we go further giul state that we have the very best authority botli oral and documentory, that the peo ple of Charleston, as a community, ^esire no such aid. The News and Courier in its leading editorial of the 8th October admits that: “There is considerable opposition, in Charleston, to the calling of an ex tra session of the Legislature; but, we must insist that the necessity is press ing, and that immediate "action is warranted by tlie circumstances ol the situation.” This certainly according to the News-and Courier’s own admission a fiords a remarkable spectacle. Here tionr.l end Savings Banks of Charles ton, and any one can see tiiat there is material, I also look after the interests a plenty of money to meet the neces- 0 f those who desire Medium or sities of tlie case. For all these reasons we are positive in the opinion that it would be un wise, inexpedient and unnecessary for Governor Sheppard to order an extra session cf the Legislature. In our opinion he would be calling the legislators of tlie .State together to perforin an act unwarranted by law, unasked for by the parties at interest, and uncalled for by tlie facts and circumstances of tlie ease. Low-Priced Goods in tlie same line. I can supply all i wants from the many grades, and | because I carry some very choice j goods, that must of necessity come | high, it does not follow that my in- j termadiate and low-priced grades are i not in every way desirable. | On the contrary, they are first-class I in oil respects, good values and bar- . , „ _ ,, ,, 1 gains at the m-ice I ask.

The same brave spirit which inspired her citizenship to refuse charitable aid after the devas tating cyclone of 1885, which swept away a million aud a half of property, now causey them to reject any propo sition which would throw them in the unenviable light of applying in forma pauperia for State aid. When her Mayor and City Council, her legislators and her foremost citi zens ask the General Assembly to issue bonds for her, it will be time enough for the Press of the State to indulge in unfriendly criticism, but until then, we ask in the name of all that is honorable and fair that the jeering sarcasm and cutting criticism bo delayed. Charleston stands creel and with honor, determined to rely upon the manhood and commercial resources of her people for the restora tion of her homes and public build ings.
