COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, April 24,1867. Journalism. The Now York Bound Table i? a respectable and well conducted'weehly journal, principally devoted to litera? ture and criticism. We have not re coivod it for s?rno time past among our exchanges, but we occasionally rend oxtrncts from it on various topics, whioh aro well worthy of attention. -Ono of its recent articles is upon -the "Standard.of Journalism," and has somo exccll?nt points in it.des?irving of noto, and whioh, if heeded, would exercise a happy and wholesome in* < fluanco upon the press of the coun? try; and especially 'aro such sugges? tions as it makes appli?ablo to tho journals in tho metropolitan.cities of the North.. . ' ' Ono point that it makes-and with which wo agree-is that, in the runic, tho esteem in which editors aro held, depends upon themselves, and not upon people, howover eminent, who aro extorior to the profession. The editorial calling is second io no other practiced in this country in impor ' tance and dignity, and a respectable editor is surely, any day, tho superior of a trading politician. And we fully agree with the Bound Table, when tho press will nt once and in combi? nation awaken to a just sense of tho elevation, the influence and respon? sibility of their functions; when they cease to truckle to politicians, how m ever influential, and make these men feel they cannot control tho press in tho interest of corruption; when they . resolutely determino to speak truth without fear or favor about tho ex? isting abuses of our system, whether in common council, State Assemblies or a National Legislature, then, and not till then, will the profession of tho journalist rise to its true level, and command tho respect to which it is intrinsically entitled. All this is very truo, and vory just? ly describes what the press in n free country ought to bo. But tho sage and competent critic of the Round Table should remember that tho glow? ing descriptions of that happy time yet to come-the millenium-repre? sent tho condition of society just what it ought to be; but, until thai time does como, wo may expect tc seo fallible, if not corrupt, journal? ists, as well as corrupt' politicians, and wo do not expect journalism, in this or any other country, to reach perfection until that glorious oin breaks upon us. Nevertheless, there can bo a closer approximation to "thc standard" laid down by our cotcm porary. There is too much truckling to, not only politicians, but to manj others who are presumed to occupj positions of influence. There is toe much timidity-too great a fear of i loss of "patronage" (an abominable word, when applied to a public jour nal)-constantly hanging around, like an incubus, in a newspaper office. I a journalist is printer to a commoi council, ho too frequently imagine; that, in order to retain tho positioi and its emoluments, he must over look all short-comings, or even mis doings, of tho members or tliei officials. If he is printer to a Logis lature, ho must not only close hi eyes to all log-rolling aud nice littl Uarguins for jobs under legislativi enactments, but he must forbea even to criticise too severely thei public acts, bo they ever so unwise or tho voto which mado him Stat printer to-day may turn him out to morrow. From a long conncctioi with journalism, and its atiendan duties and responsibilities, we knot this lo bc a fact. Of course, under theso circuni stances, and so long as thc field o journalism is so sterile in its peen niary returns, in a legitimate way true independence in its lnanngcmen is a myth that wc will look in vain t discover. But the worst corruptio: that is to bo found iu tho professio of journalism is not among the com paratively obscure or needy member or representatives of that profession but in journals of extended circuh tiou, ami, consequently, of large influence. Metropolitan journals, t journals published at Stato capital: to which a party can pay thousant , of dollars for tho uso of its column, to ndvnuco party measures, or t whitewash party rascality; and 1 which contractors and shoddy jol hunters freely offer a sharo in ti spoils to tho journalist for the aid < his "valuable paper" in getting the " nefarious schemes legalized. * This is what prostitutes the press, and in no other country in, the world is the sys>~ tem carried to such an unblushing extent,, ?han itf this boasted Und of literary attainments and civilisation: But Tfo think we seo "glimmerings of tho dawn," and that, too, within tho pastoral circuit in which the Round Table moro particularly labors. Wo noticed, in one of tho New York dailies, tho other day, that tho cor? ruption and charges of corruption in the State Legislature appeared to excite everybody but tho members of tho Legislature themselves. ' It Was stated by the journal alluded to, that oven.tho Union Leaguo and other Republican organizations had taken up tho matter, and denounced, with deserved severity, tho body which tolerates such a state of things as now exist in the New York -Tjagislatiire. Tho inevitable and Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, on Sunday before last, in tho city of Now York, brought tho subject into his sermon, and referred to tho "corruptions of poli? tics-tho flagrant venality of legisla? tion"-as ono of thc perilous evils of tho times. He said: "Tho mon at Washington and Al? bany sold their country; they sold their humanity and their honor, and tho trusts that wore put upon them by their constituents. They wero dobauchers of tho young; they wero the traitors; they that-lifted the sword were not half so much traitors; they that despoiled tho old banner and trod it under foot; they that fired upon tho Government of the United States wero not so much traitors as were . thoso vermin who wero crawl? ing under tho foundations and de? stroying by corruption the vital power of tho Government." ? On which paragraph, tho New York Times comments, and says that, in course of time, tho members of thc Legislature "will find that their'cor nipt]'T ^on'.ot be condoned by de nunciations of the wretched people of tho South or by noisy profession; of loyalty." Did not we say that wo perceivec "glimmerings of tho dawn," pro ciscly whore tho day-spring of reforn is most needed and should first ap pear? When wo seo them there, w< have hopo for tho balance of th? country. Let our social brother o the "Round Table" keep the editoria lash always in trim, and tho reveronc J Henry forbear not his denunciations to tho fashionable and shoddy-ricl occupants of his cushioned pews and all will como right. It is mee that the press and tho pulpit shouh bo co-laborers in purging the land o corruption and its ministers ant tools, and if our feeble voice cai reach them aud cheer them, we bil them "God-speed." ARKANSAS AND THE INJCNCTIO: CASES.-Gov. Murphy, of Arkansas has telegraphed to Senator elect Gai land, ordering him not to file a peti Hon for nu injunction against tho en forcement of tho reconstruction bi] for that ?tate, as ho thinks that a dc cisi?n against it will not result favorti bly to the interests of his constituent* Senator Garland has according" abandoned his intention to bring th matte- before the Supremo Court aud .J been engaged by Goveruo Sharkey in behalf of the "Mississipr petition. We think the Governor has acte wi^oly. We can see no good wha over, but much harm, to thc Soutl ern people, that would result in sue a decision. Besides, tho causes wi not bo heard until next Decembe: by which timo thc work of recoi struction will be nearly completed. Tin: PRESIDENT COMING SOUTU.-! is stated that President Johnson hi accepted an invitation from the cit zens of Raleigh, N. C., to be preset at that place about thc middle i May, at the laying of a corner-.stoi of a moulinent in memory of tl President's father, whoso place i burial has only recently been disc vcred. Ho will be accompanied 1 Mr. Seward and one or two others his Cabinet. Ile will go via Ric mond, and may extend his trip fu thcr South. -<-??-? IMPORTANT DECISION.-Interest c debts accruing during thc rcbcllu to Northern creditors hus been d ? cided by Judge Warner, of Georgi to be collectable.-New York lierai But almost every other judge h decided otherwise. --? * A little boy was poisoned in Albai last Tuesday, and carno near losii his life, by eating a picco of sho1 bill paper, containing tho color knov ns Scheele's green, and made of ars nite and copper. aUUUury Oruer?. .
