Once more ibo Christian world, from thc uttermost bound? of tho earth to its central line, celebrates tho advent of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer ol f?llen hu manity. lt malters very little if the 25th of December was or waa not the exact day of thc Saviour'? birth. It was about this time, ami the common consent of thc religious world has made this ?lay one of consecration and.holy joy from the fourth century lo this epoch and fur all ages tn come. On laud and rea, in thc ?lim forest and the crowded mart. ?ri the pauper'? hut and the royal palace, in the'cdon-isles and .amid the desert, from thc Northern Light? to the Southern ?ce field, from tho burn ing East to the throbbing West ?ti all climes, in all tongues, and in a thousand ways, one mighty alleluia will on next Monday HU Ige forth to greet the Rabi of Bethlehem who was also Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings. It ?ina always hcemitl to us a wonder fully thrilling tradition that there were niV?tic warnings ti) the Fagan woild that their idols and oracles were to cease or suffer eclipse when Jesus came into (he material universe as God and Man. Though sprung from thc royal line of l?raei. il is a most suggestive thought that Christ appeared not in the parapher o. lia of greatness and majesty but in meekness and poverty - thereby, in the language of Burke, presenting himself "in sympathy with the lowest of the peo pie," whose cause he espoused most ten derly, and for whom, when righteous, he has promised an exceeding great reward beyond the stars. This is one of the most precious of tho teachings of this festival, ami il should not be lost upon those who have been allowed lt) prosper, The poor always with us aro the special truHts of a Higher I'ower, and the man who despiiit's or neglects them can not, in V's heart or soul, bea faithful follower of Him who, less fortunate than thc beasts of tbc field hat! not oftentimes a place to lay his head. Among the wonderful testimonies to the Snviour none are inore atriking than those of Napoleon, who in tl e hey-day of his pride find pomp, appeared to for get that there was a Ruh r of Events. Chastened by defeat anti abashed by exile, bo used these memorable words : "Acrops a ciiasm of eighteen hundred years Jesus Christ makes a demand which ii beyond all others dilftcult to satisfy. Ho usks that ft r which a phi losopher may often seek in vain at tho hands of lu- friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of btr .spouse, or a man of bis brother. Ho asks for the human heart. He will have it entirely himself. Ho demands it unconditionally and forthwith his demand is granted. Wonderful ! In defiance of time and space, the soul of mail, willi all its pow ers ami faculties, becomes an annexation to ih-i empire of Christ. All who sin cerely believe in Him experience that remarkable supernatural love towards Him. This phenomenon is unaccounta ble, it is altogether be> "ntl tho scope cf man's creativo power. Time, tho grent destroyer, ?H powerless to extinguish this sacred flame ; time cnn neither exhaust ita strength nor put a limit to ?ts runge. Tins it is which strikes me most. This it is which proves to me quite convinc ingly the Divinity of Justis Christ. * * Alexander, Ciclar, Charlemnngc, nnd myself, have founded empires ; but upon what do these creations of our genius de pend? Upon force. Jesus alone found ed hm empire upon love, nnd to thia very day millions would die for Him. I think I underhand something of human nature; und I tell you, all these were men-none else is like Him. Jesus Christ was more thun man." These testimonies from the modern Attila and Ctesar ure tho more remarka ble because they issued from one who only too often arrogated to himse! fa rulo of conduct above that prescribed to com mon humanity, nnd who did not hesitate to defy the altar that he had ouce raised up among the ruins of revolutionary and infidel France. Of all tho voices from St. Helena theso memorable tributes to the superna! power that bad elevated and crushed him ore the most pathetic, the most sublime, the roost precious. In ci pi ?vi ly thc conqueror felt a humility thst was ai! U=bco-n before, and bis j death, humble and repentant, at the feet of Jesus, ia one of a thousand notable il lustrations of how the Babo of Bethle hem comes to us when we are most for saken of mea, and how He refreshes us when the fountains of human compas sion appear to have perished at their source. Though Christ came with lovo, peace and good will to men, il is a sad re flection that thousands of people, even on His natal dey, make mockery of His holy name. Because His precepts are defied, the world dwolht under the shad ow of the sword, and there is a cry of humanity for redress ami vengeance over the whole planet. Eoviewing the war like condition and tendency of all Chris tian countries, and confronting this bloody status with a Christian civiliza tion, a certain form of modern philoso phy is disposed to question tho benign in fluence of the Nazarene and bisdoctrlne. Tb? ?ct diifitry of this view, we think, may be earily disposed of. It is not, as pre sumrd. the doctrines of Jesus that con vc'k the world into an armed camp, but '.he abnegation of them. The tremen dons unrest of modern society, which drifts into crime, ie not because of a re cognition of Christ and his Gospel, but a defiance of both. We must look for the superiority of Christ's teaching among the faithful minority, who, often powerless to prevent iniquity, public and private, preserve the covenant, and are content to wait the hour of deliverance. Not among the potentates and princes do' wo seek ao much the spirit of Jesus as among the lowly like Himself, wheo He came Into this earth beneath the cold Jadean firmament. Hie spiritnal king dom in the sonia of the righteous re mains an everlasting bequest to curb the haughty, to set bounds to injustice, lo ???DDHBaiBBiiiWMHBHMManBnBa casi down the oppressn , ami t<> cliccr thc weary. A* he ?lid not come rich and powerful, but poor ami lowly, so He ?lid not promise upon this7globe~!hat,,,they who buffered for and with Him should bo rewarded here by mere material gift", but rather that they should know hoar to struggle and be strong, and that, while thc kingdoms of warriors should go to the wind and be remembered no more, the humblest soul should project itself into eternity and, haring horne His bit ter cross, rliall wear II is deathless crown. I tu rout A I. COrtKEhroNlir.NCK. ( Ul.CM III A, H. C.. I>CC. I'.?, i \??2. Another week has passed, and thc Legislature is now within live days of ita adjournment. The work of the session in pres-ing on tht- Ul em be fi very heavily, lind for thc last two night* the suasions have run until twelve o'clock al night. I have never MCII more work done in the -.ame timi* than has been done in the three past legislative days 'I he hill to change the Usury Law, sn as to alix., len per cent, upon written contracts lo thai effect, IHM become an Act. The entire Anderson delegation opposed the change, both in the Senate and in llie House, bul it went through by a good majority in both Houses. The bill was amended in thc Hou-o? by .Mr. Hobo so as to caine lim lender to lose double the amount of interest where a larger rale than ten per cent, is to be charged. The repeal of the Lien Law baa been defeated in thc Senate by a majority of three, so that the bill has not como up for consideration al all. .he Senators from the middle and lowei country voted pretty generally against repent, as they feared the political consequences in their Counties if a change was made. This news will, no doubt, bo reatl willi very <r,rcat regret by many ol' tho readers ol the [STKI.I.IOKNCKB, as we have nc doubt a majority of thc- laudownera in Anderson County very decidedly prefer rod ?ta repeal. This action on tin; part of the Senate means that no retienlof (bc law will bc maded during tho next twt years, for if the danger of pol?tica trouble from repeal should deter the Hen ale Irom a repeal now, it is more tbnr likely that thc same force will bi stronger just before tho next eleclioi ttl H ii il is now. In my opinion, unthill) shorl of an extremely good crop year wil give us any chance of having the lav repealed next Winter. Our people can therefore, go lo work as they have here toforedone, ami make their contracta f?> another year. In the vole upon the bil to repeal the law in the Senate, Maj Moore voted in favor of repent. The Senate has spent some time in ilia cussing thc Columbia (.?anal, ami has a last passed a hill giving two huudrci convicts ami tw?nty thousand dollars, t bo paitl from the earnings of the I'eni tcntiary. It is probnblc thc hill will b amended by making tho amount fiftce thousand, I ns toad of twenty, when i comes up for consideration in the House There lois been considerable work don on the cann] but a great deal remninH t be tloue, and there arc a great mun members of tho Legislature who ar afraid of the task. The whole hill wil he fought in the House, nnrl its falo i somewhat uncertain, Ibrtigi. it is proba ble it will pass in the shape indicated The State owns thc properly, and ?in already spent considerable money on il so that it really looks like it would b shorl sighted economy to stop it now nm Ihrow away what has been done. Th great canal al Augusta is much longe and cost very much more money, am yet it is of inestimable advantage to tba city ami io thc Stale of Georgia. It ba matte Georgia lite ti rat State in thoSoutl in manufacturing enterprise and industry and the development of this canal wil give the State of South Carolina one o the finest water-powers in tho Union, ii thc very center of the State, where fou lines of railroad can run right into th building of any factories that may b built, it will give to manufacturing de vetopment here an impetus and a Hf which will make South Carolina to th South what Rhode Island aud Mnssachu netts are to the North in these industrie.' The House has, by a decidedly larg majority, passed the resolution payin| the salaries of Judges Heed, Shaw, On Cooke and Mackey, which have HO loni and so unjustly remained unpaid. Th Senate, a few days before, refused to pas the resolution by a small majority. Maj Mooro voted against the resolution. Th delegation in the House waa unanimous ly in favor of it, as the State baa airead; recognized the claim, und is in houn bound to pay it. We hope the Senat will yet pas* the resolution, and thu this debt ot the Stat* will be paid off. The appropriation bill, after a conaid ?rable debate and numerous amend in en ts, baa passed both Houses, 'flier are several points of difference, howevei between the two houses which will ye have to be adjusted. The House em phatically condemned the practice o raising salaries in the appropriation bill and in every instance where the Commit tee bad pursued this course .struck ou the increase. Amoog other things, th< usual fight on the educational appropria tions came up. On the motion to strik out the appropriation to the South Cum lina University Messrs. Vandiver, Scud day and Murray voted no. Mr. Clink scales voted yea. The motion waa over wbelmingly defeated. On the motion t strike out the appropriation of twenty one thojsand dollars for the Citadel th vote remited in tho negativo-Mesart Vandiver, Scudday and Murray votin no, and Mr. Clinkscales yes. On mn tions to reduce tho amount Mr. Scudds; sud Clinkscales voted for fifteen thou land, and Messrs. Vandiver and Murra; for seventeen thousand dollars. Th amount waa reduced to seventeen thou ?and dollars, after a considerable debate In the Senate Maj. Moore, with thre other Senators, voted against both th University aud the Citadel. . In the matter of the taxes to tho Al lantic & French Broad Railroad, in Bol lon and Williamston townships, it wa iecided by the Abbeville and Picker ielegation to ask for another electior To this the Anderson delegation did nc jbject, but they were unanimously of th ?pinion that no election should be bel inleas a majority of the land-owner )etitioned for the election. Mr. Murra; ind Mr. Scudday both spoke in favor o bip limitation, but ibo ?QQUOD?) of Tick rii->. / ?bevillt*, Kdgcfield und Aiken j Cou alic*, through which the road run?, | and of Governor Hngood, was sufficient to carry it for a general election of the County. Mr. Clinkaeales favor? one i'rial Justice for each township, with a salary of twenty dollars each in the country. Mr.Scudday's hill to'.Teste one addi tional ?rial Justice r.t Anderson has been amended itt the Senate, so as to create -ix additional Justice? for the County. This has not been agreed to hy the House, and we cannot tel! what is to be come of the bill. Tile great debate of thc session ii going on over the bill to create a Railroad Commission. We have H pent several days in ils discussion and will close to day, sf? aa to reach a vote by two o'clock. Tilt? motion to allow neighboring towns lo bc grouped, KO as ?o' give them the ! same freight rates, was defeated, Messrs. j Yat.diver, Scudday, and Murray voted for it, and Mr. t'linkscales against it. Maj Moore voted against it in the Sen ate. Thc hil! will probably pass with a provision for the appointment to he made by the < inventor. Our delegation are quite well and anxious for Saturday to conic, that they may once more return home. Vt. li. M.
