The modern stage makes a parade of sensualism. The incorruptiblu souls who re? fuse to sacrifice morality upon the altar of vile passions are few-and far between." Where? upon the New York Sun remarks : "If the writer in La France were to come to New York, he could not find words lo express hie detestation of what passes with most ol' our people for theatrical amusements." CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30,1868. The Bills, the Whole Bill? and Nothing but the Billi. It is useless for the convention to flatter itself that the market value cf State Bills Re? ceivable will not be injuriously affected by an additional issue of those t ills for the pur? pose of paying the members and officers of J the convention. The bills receivable have up to this time been sustained in price because there was no pr?sure of sales. They were bought in small lots at eighty cents on the dollar, and sold at eighty-threo or eighty-five; but, at any moment a forced sale of twenty or thirty thousand dollars of these bills would have run down the price fifteen or twenty per cent. The convention is of or inion that the demand for State bills, to be used in pay? ment for taxes, will keep ap their price; that the bills will be absorbed by tax-pay? ers in a few months; and that the endorse? ment of the convention, anet a guarantee of j payment, will do State securities mors good than the increase in the am DUD t issued will do harm. These arguments have no solid founda? tion, and show but little sense on the part of tho3e who use them. This State is now bankrupt. As a State, it is bankrupt; as a people, it is bankrupt; as a oommunity, It is bankrupt. The people of the State will not pay their taxes; and they cannot bo made to pay, for they have no money, and no means of raising money. If one man would not pay, he oould be compelled to pay; if a hundred men would not pay, they ooulcV.be compelled to pay; but what can be done by compulsion when the defaulters are num? bered by thousands, and when th? property of the delinquents will not sell in the market for the State olaims upon it ? This is sober fact; and every reasonable man knows that not one-tenth pirt of the whole taxation of the current year can be ex? pected to be collected before the first of j January next. The State bills will not be absorbed in lix months, or in a dozen months ; and the guarantee or endorsement of the conven ion, upon which so mich reliance is ?laced, is for all practical purposes, useless md of no effect. Assuming that the en lorsement of the conven .ion would give he bills receivable the undoubted validity if the State bonds issued bet?re the war, t would not make them worth more than brty or fifty oents upon the dollar. But it lannot even do this. The legality of the ?onvention is extremely dcubtful, and so is he legality of the Reconstruction acts of vhich it is the creature. Going further tack, the constitutionality of the conven ion of I860, and of the Provisional Gov? ernments established by Presiden. JOHN ION, is far from being beyond question, and t is now a patent fact that, within the next hree years, the course of avents may over? grow everything that has been done since .he war closed, and throw to the ground ?very obligation not incurred by the people )f the State according to the provisions of | .he State and Federal Conititutions. While all else is in doubt, can the conven? tion "bills receivable" be made secure be? yond dispute? They cannot; and nothing else can be expected than such a fall their value as will give the members of the convention their first sad experience of the danger of meddling with things whioh they do not understand. Shams, It is a remark, if we an not mistaken, of | that most genial of modern essayists, the Country Parson, that the life of every one of us, man, woman and ohild, would be very different to-morrow were we only as? sured of the final deoease of Mrs. Grundy; could we only be certified that we might from henceforth be our r aturai selves un? affected by any of the artificial and conven? tional rules which at present hold us BO inexorably in leash. There is a truth as profound as it is cynical in the suggestion. Perhaps we are hardly aware, until we are led to consider the matter, how little place and influence our real personal individual? ity has in makir.? up our everyday exis? tence. Every nov/ and then, it is true, there comes a crisis when tho in-dwelling Bpirit which is born to assert itself strug? gles forth into the garish light of day, and surprises all the accustomed associates of ? tho human tabernacle in whioh it lurks by the manifestation of characteristics wholly unexpected and unforeseen;-but as a gen? eral rulo men feel and obey the power of a network of conventionalities whose sole end and purpose is confessedly to subordi? nate the individual to th s grand whole, and to work out a certain desirable general re? sult by the sacrifice, if need be, of num? berless particular pasBioas and desires. Now, as Providence in ordering the affairs of thiB sublunary sphere, follows as far as we can see a precisely similar principle, this course seems prima facie to be that of wisdom. And as such it is generally recog? nized. Take care of the sum total and the units will, or must, take care of thomselves. The scheme seems so grand, so compre? hensive, and withal 60 ocneficent ! Sacri? fice. Why it is the law of being ! No life that exists but is sustained by the sacrifice of numberless others. The greatest good of the greatest number ! Was there ever a oiure Heaven-inspired doctrine ! It is only when a few of the putty details of the schome crop out into view,-when the iron hand which the velvet glove so deftly con seals crushes in its pitiless gripe Borne pet j vanity, or ruthlessly sweeps away some dar? ling fancy of our souls, that the unit be? comes rather aggravated at the practical working of this fine plan, and betakes him? self to vicious unreasoning kicking against the pricks which does not on the whole act as a sedative lo his wounded spirit. If he is wise, however, he suffers in si? lence. When Silverskin, who has an awk? ward habit of treading on his prrtner's toes, and whoBe dancing M?SBF lutters de? scribes in the mildly satirical tone which j she adopts with her intimate friends, as "cavorting," petitions that young lady for "the next waltz," she violates no law of j propriety or conventional morality when, with the most angelic smile which ever smoothed over an unwelcome reply, she breathes out her sorrow that she is "en? gaged," though the fair surface of her tablets is as yet uninscribed. But Silver skin has been snubbed, and he knows it knows it as well as he does the fact that Glissonel Glid- ?veil who, two minutes later, is piloting her with Palinurus-like skill through those wavy mazes, is laughing with her at his discomfiture. But his smile is not one whit less serene nor his brow less smooth for the knowledge. The one crime which society will not pardon is bad taste, and in the long run he who keeps his tem? per best will triumph. Not that any one is deoived by these harmless shams. Mademoiselle Malmaison whom the ill-advised and mal-apropos death of some crusty old curmudgeon of a father's unole oompels to seclude her sweet self for the orthodox thirty days from the pomps and vanities, knows very well that the in? nocent oonventionality imposes upon no one; and she is quite ready to be oondoled with on her enforced exile from the world. She has succumbed to a popular prejudice she has "stayed in" the orthodox time, and no one expects any more of her. Of course she does not like the role of the Pelican in the wilderness, and ehe may bewail her condition as such to her sympathizing friends. All that is required of her is that she should abstain from telling it in Gath or publishing it in the streets of Askalon. If she refrains from this she may be quite sure of the whispered sympathy of her intimates. The author of the famous aphorism "My son thou little knoweBt with how little wis? dom the world is governed," might well have added, "and with how little honesty." Muoh of this artificial state of things is doubtless owing to the relations of the sexes. Women are tho true Ishmaelitcs of the world. Every woman's hand has been against every other woman, from the days whon the daughters of HETH made RE? BEKAH weary of her life;-most probably indeed long before that, up to EVE herself, the only woman who had no possible rival. Some ono has drawn the contrast between men and women very skilfully, when he says that with men the difficulty is to con? ceal their real feelings, but with women the difficulty is to express them. Brought up in an atmosphere of dissimulation a large portion of the shams of the world owe their origin to their necessities, and are the direct product of their views of life. Of course there are larger necessities interwoven with these pettier ones, and perhaps one of the largest lessons to learn in life is the fact of our individual insignificancy, a fact which human vanity is rarely sufficiently con? quered to peroeive. The reflection of the Country Parson, however, is a very sugges? tive one, from whatever view of the case. What a veil it would strip from human de? formity, the decease of that good old lady of whom he speaks! How the selfish man, thc froward man, the mean man would stand revealed in their true colors ! What disa? greeable candor would affront us ! How our humps and bumps and wrinkled fronts would be cast in our teeth ! What an unplesant world altogother it would be ! We shudder at the prospect. Have we seemed to reflect on Mrs. Grundy in some of our remarks ? We most humbly beg her pardon. Heaven send her a long life ! _ TO KR.
