Londonderry bas been deeply agitated for some time past In consequence of the Church disestablishment legislation of thc Gladstone ministry. The city was regarde .t as the stronghold of the ultra High Church party since the moment of the de? feat of the last of thc Stuarts by William, Prince of Orange. The members of a "loyalist'' family enjoyed many hereditary church sinecures and cathedral and municipal charter emoluments, which are all swept away by the recent action of t?e Parliament. A government commission, whlob bas Just closed its sittings, recotsmended that the city police force, hitherto malritatnefl bp the corporation, bc abolished, and the duky of peaoe preservation within the lamons "wall" as? signed to the Royal Irish Constabulary-a body Which embraces men ol all religions in its ranks.

Referring to General Butler's opinion that some half dozen, more or less, ortheConrcder?tes should have suffered cxamplary punishment, Mr. Greeley says : "When five more years or peace shall have intervened, I am quite confident yon vriU oonsider that two or three examples would ?have been enough; and, after the lapse or five moro years, you will bc satisfied that to have strung up In 1855 him who was your choice Tor President in 1860, would have answered thc pur? pose." He rerers to many historical precedents to show that severities after a war do not serve to save or perpetuate a power; ta short, he says, If there be one lesson written all over the face of history, lt seems to be "Pride goeth before destruction;" that the conqueror in advil feud, who lias glutted his vengeanoe, stands often very near his final downfall. Ho cites Tennessee and thc overthrow of the Republican party there as an instance of the legitimate fruits of a proscriptive policy, and impeaches thc policy or sweeping disfranchise? ment and proscription as leading inevitably to such disasters. Mississippi and the defeat or Dent he regards as a vindication or the more liberal policy. In conclusion, he expresses hts confidence that, as passions cool and wrath abates, thousands who have cursed will thank him Tor what he has #done and dared in resist? ance to their own sanguinary impulses, and joy? fully trusts that this will become at last the com? mon faith, and even that of General Rutter him? self. -------=== TUE CUXISTiVAS NEWS. LIGHT REAPING FOR THE HOLIDAYS. A Hint to Advertisers. THE CHARLESTON NEWS will be issued on next Saturday morning, December 25th, in the form of a large quarto sheet of eight pages, or double its present size, made up especially for Christmas, of a choice and readable variety of STORIES, SKETCHES AND POEMS, In addition to the usual miscellany of edito? rial matter, telegrams, correspondence and local and general intelligence. The Christmas NEWS will be sent to the subscribers to our Tri-Weekly as well as our Daily issue; and as a very large extra edi? tion will be printed, an excellent opportu? nity will be afforaed our advertising friends of bringing their announcements, without in? creased charge, before a larger number of readers probably than is addressed, by any other single newspaper in the South. ^?fNewsmen will please send in their or? ders as soon as possible. The Coin Bill. The Winnsboro' News, a somewhat ec? centric but decidedly independent paper, says that the bill to pay the interest on the State debt in coin "is a good bill, even if bad "men make money out of it, because, con? sidered in one aspect alone, it saves over "$400,000 during the next two years to the "State,'' This is a good reason, iudeed, for supporting a Radical measure, but we con? fess our belief that this time it is our Winns? boro' contemporary which is "going off half "cocked," instead of THE CHARLESTON NEWS, which opposed th?? bill as unwise, unnecessary and unjust The "Winnsboro' News sup^rts its broad assertions by this ingeD'ous arithmetical demonstration: "The State must by th'- sale of Its bonds at present prices, 65 on thc 100, issue bonds to the extent of over $1,200,000, to meet its stocks and bonds to the amount of $800,000 that must be paid in 1870 and 1871. Now, a bond bear? ing coin interest at font and a half per cent, would command a hundred dollars In currency; so that $800,000 of such four anda half per cent, coin-Interest bonds would meet thc debt immediately pressing. The annual interest on $800,000, in coln, at four and a half per cent., would be $36,000, whereas thc animal inter? est at six per cent on $1,200,000, would be $72,000 m currency. A saving, then, results of over $400,000 on the principal, and of at least $25,000 in currency in annual Interest." Of course, if it be admitted that four and a half per cent coin interest bonds of the State of South Carolina will command par, and, that unless such bonds be issued, the State must emit currency bond3 aud sell them at 65 cents, there will be the precise result which our contemporary indicates. But we cannot admit either premise. Thc State debt spoken of is due partly in 1870 and partly iu 1871. When it becomes due the holders will demand the repayment of the principal, but that principal will be payable, under the legal tender act, t'/i currency and not tn coin. Admitting, however, that it roust be paid in coin, two modes of action are open to the State: L, to offer to renew the loan, and 2, to sell securities to pay it off. In the first case, tho State can offor coin bonds to the holders of the debt and may tempt them to renew; in the second case, it eau sell coin bonds in the market and clear oil* its accrued indebtedness. Either way the State will have the advantage of dealing in a coin loan, without any reference whatever to the fact that the whole State debt was payable, principal or iuterest, in coin. There is no connection whatever between tue swindling job of making the interest on the present debt pnyable iu coin, and a proper endeavor to usc thc credit of the State to the best advantage when renewing or paying off a debt us it becomes due. We do not admit that a Soutli Carolina four and a half per cent, coin loan could be floated at par, for the simple reason that United States six per cent, coin bonds bring no more than par. We are ready to give the devil his due, but there is nothing in the arguments or the arithmetic of our Winnsboro' neighbor to cause us to change our opiuion that the coin bill will not benefit the State, although it may cuable Kimpton and Scott to sell to ad? vantage the S3,000,000 State bonds hypothe? cated by them in New York, for what purpose the Riug only knows. ."?Inking Ready for ii Christmas Frolic. We beg to make our humble apologies to the members of the South Carolina General Assembly for having so misconstrued a pri? vate telegram as to publish in XHE NEWS of yesterday the startling intelligence that thc Legislature had agreed " to take no per "diem from December 23 to January 5." It is unpleasant to slander, however inno? cently, a body of patriots, many of whom left their native country for their country's good, and who now Do good by stealtl*, And blush to find it fame, Especially where a knowledge of their pre? vious history, and an honest appreciation of their immaculate purity, should have pre? vented the most casual observer from mak? ing a blunder so inexcusablo as to uttribute to them motives and purposes as far from their nature as is the peak of Stamp House Mountain from the Mountains of the Moon. However, we take it all back, and beg io in? form our readers that the Legislature, in? stead of drawing no pay during recess, have drawn pay in advance up to the end of the recess, which is a very different matter, and thoroughly in accord with our previous ex? pectations. We had a faint and wandering hope of better things, but we feel now that only he who hopes" for nothing ii never ! disappointed. niants. WANTED.-A YOUNG LADY PRE?
