COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Deo. ll, 1887. Hard Times--A Ile m city. An exchange notices the constant cry of "hard times" in its locality; but this cry in not oonfiued to any locality or city-it is universal throughout the country, every sec? tion suffering to a greater or less degree from the depression of busi? ness and trade in every department of industry. In the Southern States, of course, this . depression is greater than in other sections, because of want of capital, diminished resources and scarcity ol. reliable labor; but no people should despair and sit down ignobly to lament their hard fate, without potting forth their best energies to recover what they have lost. The truth is, that in the South we have always lived too easily and too improvidently. The habits of the Southern people, their peculiar system of labor, and, above all, the destructivo policy of long credits, have left our people sadly unprepared for the terrible reverses which have oome upon thom, and hence the universal cry of "hard times," which is undoubtedly well founded, so far as they are concerned. But the very privations they are now subject to will, if properly used and appre? ciated, result in permanent good, aud lay the foundation of a moro lasting prosperity than they have ever en? joyed. Bot how? As the credit system is played out, there is little danger of that over-trading induced by credit, which was the bane of the business relations between tho planter and the merchant. The country customer will stay at home until he has some? thing to bring to market, and thus, in spite of all his desires to live sumptuously or in luxury, he is forced into a system of economy, that, in the end, will prove advan? tageous to him and his family. His sons will find employment on the farm, instead of leading listless and useless lives, spending time in various amusements and spending money for segars and other luxuries, and, as has been too frequently the case, con? tracting the vice of gambling. His daughters will likely find useful em? ployment at home, instead of gad? ding about in search of the latest fashion and styles of expensive dress goods. In this way, even under the present embarrassing circumstances, tho planter must have some little surplus capital left, which can be judiciously expended in making use? ful purchases. Moko homo the head? quarters of the united industry of the family, and but a few years will elapse before the most favorable change will bo realized. The condition of our section at this time, imperatively demands the most rigid economy, the most per? sistent toil, aud the most patient self-sacrifice. It is related that Gen. Jackson, when President, being call? ed upon by a delegation, and his opinion solicited in reference to thc financial troubles of tho country, re? plied in his peculiar abrupt style, that tho remedy was this: "Live at home on your own broad and bacon, and buy nothing. He maintained that the energy and endurance of the people, and the fertility of the soil, could correct all tho evils of bad le? gislation. The true remedy, and we believe tho only one now at all ap? plicable to our coudition, is to stimu? late industry, ropross all political ex? citement, pay tho honest laborei every cent due him, and thus create confidence between man and man. Discountenance ali who attempt tc live by . their wits, by defrauding the laborer of his hire. We hav< health and strength, and fertile lairds still left, and there is nt cause for despondency, much lesi of despair, for a people who owi more good land, in a genial clime than they can cultivate. Governor Brownlow, in a publish ed card, gives a flat denial to tb testimony of Detective Baker befori the Impeachment Committee, where in Brownlow is said to hove beei cognizant of a letter written b; Andrew Johnson to Jeff. Davis. Th Governor furthor says that he doe not behove Mr. Johnson over wroti * lottor to Jeff. Davis or "any othe man," giving aid and comfort to tb rebellion._ A Frenoh writer colls dyspepsia th "ingratitude of the stomach. FBANCB AND EUX?OPH.-A rodent pamphlet put forth in France has attracted much notice, and ia attri? buted to Napoleon him, ?If, or to some pert guided by him. Ii ia said to bo very able? and d?cidedly Na? poleonic in its tono and Opinions, It is chiefly devoted to the discussion of the German question, and regards the unification of Germany as com? pleted. "Germany," it says, "is made," and in substance frankly ad? mits that France is not able, and ought not if she were able, to prevent the complete unity of the Fatherland. The pamphlet declares that, the temporal power of the papacy must not be abandoned. It says: "The Convention of the 15th of September is not a last halting-place towards the complete absorption of the temporal papacy by united Italy. It .is an impassable barrier placed between tue temporal power and its assailants by the evident necessity of things, the becular logic of facts, and, lastly, by the energetic will of the Emperor Napoleon III." To these two points tho pamphlet adds a third, that the "progressive development of tho liberal ideas con? tained in tho letter of January 19, 1867," is to be carried out. Much is hoped for from tho Eu? ropean Congress soon to assemble. The general tone of the publication is conciliatory. It assumes that if Eu? rope listens to Franco thoro will bo a long reign of peace, and concludes thus: "Perhaps in 18G7 Europe, taught in the school of misfortune and wearied by so much fruitless agita? tion, eager for peace, may bo happy to hear tho same voice (the Empe? ror's) again say to her uow, *It is necessary that I Bhould be listened to, for I speak in tho name of France.'

The counsel for the plaintiff contended thut it was too late in the condition of the pleadings for the defendant to avail himself of the benefit of the order, as, having plead? ed tho general issue, his right to plead to the jurisdiction was waived; and also that the action having been commenced before Order No. 10 was issued, and the Court having obtained jurisdiction of tho case, could not be divested of it, and tho plaintiff was entitled .to go to trial.
