COLUMBIA^ Sunday Morning, December 16.1867. Tho Great Reeded Reform. Some days ago we published an editorial OD "hard times," and wo are glad to perceive that the views expressed there, ure sustained and endorsed by varions leading journals pf the South. It is needless to tell any one, who makes the least use of bis perceptive faonlties, that times .re bard. The profits of nearly every trade are swept away by taxation and incidental expenses, and benco the necessity of adding line upon line, and precept npon precept, to induce onr people, if possible, to reflect upon their present condition and fu? ture prospecte. There is a prospect of pinching want before thousands, and ?his prospect is not cominea to those nnloxnrions classes, of whom, as it is fublod, a French Queen thought it astonishing, when they cried for bread, that they should not eat cake, rather than starve. The grim spectre of starvation, as we and ?nany of our fellow-citizens know, is so? stranger in circles of refinement andi cuitare. Many a spoiled favorite of fortune, to whom sumptuous liv? ing and the indulgence of expensive tastes have become a second nature, is forced to contemplate the neces? sity of coming down, and adjusting the scalp of this attainable want to the standard of the strictest modera? tion. No other victims of the "hard times" are, perhaps, subjected to a Brore terrible ordeal, than the people ?f this class, who are numerous in cur Southern States. No act is more dellcato than that of coming down with, dignity and grace; and no phi? losophy more difficult than that of starving acquired appetites, and re? nouncing luxurious superfluities, without bitterness and vain ropining. It is true, as the New Orleans Cres? cent says, that this picture is not exclusively applicable to any particu? lar section; but, as wo have remarked in- former articles, and wit li which our cotemporary agrees, that thc South is where it may be seen in its most som' re colors. Here the agri? culturist has been equally disappoint? ed with the merchant. Here the calamity of a short crop of cotton is aggravated by an almost simultane? ous fall in price; here labor has been inefficient and disorganized, and threatens to become more so here? after. Under these disheartening circumstances, it is surprising that people should bo found persisting iu thoughtless habits of extravagance. There can bo but few who can afford it profuse expenditure iu amusement, in dressing and feasting. But, put? ting aside these exceptions, thec situa? tion is one that demands, upon the part of the mass of our people, the practice of thoughtful and systematic .economy, as both a public and pri vate. duty. One of the first requi sites to the discharge of such a dutj issnroTul courage. If that once con qners, all tho rest is easy. One of the greatest hindrances tr tho much-needed rpform in persona and household economy, is generally attributed to the extravagance of thi female members of a family. But admitting that to be a fact, is no much blame to be attached to Un male bedd of a family, in not enjoin ing the strictest economy upon hi wife and daughters? He may expec that the vague allusions which ma; be made in their piesenco to peen niary troubles and embarrassment should be sufficient; but such allu sions are generally misunderstood and, even when they aro perfect!; intelligible, thoy sometimes-too fre qucntly, indeed-fail to produce an; wholesome impression. Women, ni matter how gentle in breeding o exquisito in culture, who are thu heed fess, cannot be either help-meet cr ornaments in a family. It ss very true, that women shouh Bot be invited to buffet in the i ud .trnggles of business, and should b tenderly guarded against the sterne harrassments to which men arc lie ble; but oven nt tho risk of bein pronounced ungallant, in our wordlj wiso lectures on economy, wo min? gay Hint it is to bo deplored if, i such times as these, their educatio should not have fitted them to cona prebend responsibilities and emei gencies which husbands and father are obliged to face, or if their ben of mind should har? been BO per? verted as to make them indifferent to the cares of those who have to pro? vide for them. The women of the South, as we have hod frequent occa? sion to say, are true and self-sacrific? ing in all emergencies, public and private; which require their efforts and aid; but this little sin of extra? vagance is too little thought of, although it may provo to be the con? ker worm of their future peace and happiness. Their extravagance is too frequently submitted to by husbands and fathers from motives of false pride, and too often we observe tho heedless wasting of the money of men in whose homes and hearts they reign-money which prudence cannot afford to spare. We commend these views to the thoughtful consideration of our readers this day-it may provo OG profitable OG thc sermon they H?VO listened to-thnt is, in n worldly point of view. The spiritual wants of any people cnn ho much easier satisfied if truth, conscienco and right guido them iu the every dey business of life. FXBE.-The work-shop of Mr. D. K.

GRAESER, McJUNKIN A8ENN, Dec l i 2 Gervais streot, near Main. Helnltati's Queen's Delight, for Tet? ter, Pimples, Blotches, and Eruptions on tho face. CheorlMg Sign?. If all the indications truly point to probable results, we have not been deceived. Tbe Phoenix took, tbe ground, and argued as far as it was able, that a cordial union between tbe Southern whites and tbo newly enfranchised voters, would be the most efficacious mode of securing a prompt and honorable reconstruction of the States. Wo published a day or two ago, the address of a commit? tee appointed by the Union League of this city, which, for its modera? tion of tono, and the calm and dis? passionate manner in which tho ob? jects of the organization were pre? sented, we deemed entirely unobjec? tionable. In addition to this, thc telegraphic despatches from Montgo? mery, Alabama, which wo published yesterday, ni relation to the action of tho TJn;G:? L.cr.g;;G of timi oily, ?JU the Constitution recently adopted by the extremists in the Convention of that State, together with the forma? tion of a conservative club among tho freedmen, must have proved wel? come intelligence to every true and patriotic Southern man. Tho delu? sion of the hour, produced by the harangues of itinerant agents of the extremo radicalism of the North, is passing away, and the sober second thought of the most intelligent of the colored people, is having its pro? per iufluence. The Alabama Conveu I tion, which the Montgomery League very properly denounces, w< uld, if ratified, says the Mail, of that city, accomplish the following results: "To permit every negro to vote, whatever his competency or incom? petency, who bas been in the State six mouths and in the County three months. "To .permit to vote only such white men ns may have been in thc State six months and in the County three months, who will swear never to change the proposed Constitution, so far as it affects the question ol suffrage. "To deprive of the privilege ol voting and holdiug office-1st. All whites who may be disfranchised by tho proposed constitutional amend? ment, (14th Article,) and by the Re? construction Acts-that is to say. ni! who held any office, Federal or State, of tho lowest grade, before the war, and afterward gave aid or sympathy to the Coufederato cause. This pro? vision, according to the registration returns, will disfranchise 30.??C white men of the State. "All whites who shall have been convicted of treason at any lime be? fore an election.- As nearly everv white man of the State who applied for pardon under the $20,000 clause of the President's amnesty proclama tion was compelled, by order ol Judge Bnsteed, of the United States District Court, after his property wai libelled, to plead guilty to treason ir open court, it follows that this provi sion disfranchises every white mar who applied for pardon nuder tba clause, embracing not less than 10.0CK of our best citizens. "All whites who have couscieu lions scruples about taking a tes oath to tho effect that they will novel vote or use their influence to change the basis of suffrage, whatever ma; be the evil effects of tho propos?e system-in other words, a test oatl swearing away their liberty o thought and action." Such a Government as the Consti tutiou would establish, hus neve been asked for, we verily believe, lr any respectable organization of freed men; nor has such a Constitutioi been demanded by the Reconatruc tion Acts, by the Republican party or by Congress. Wo aro, therefore truly gratified at the prompt actioi of the Leagues anel intelligent color ed people of Alabama, and hope tba a healthful iuflueuco thorefrom wil pervade the whole sentiment of th colored population throughout th South. Thia coming together of th conservative element of both classes must produce tho best results for th welfare of our commou country. W bid this good work of co-operatio God-speed.

JOKE ON THE BAU.-As this is the season for the sessions of our supe? rior courts, the following joke is very appropriate: During the trial of a recent case, (not in Columbia, however,) a pause occurred, during ?Vilich the judge, counsel and clients indulged in non? sense appropriate to tho occasion. At last, one of tho visitors propound? ed the following conundrum: "Why does a lawyer enter on, continue in, and at lost abandon his profession?" No ono could give a reasonable an? swer to all this, except the judge, who said that he entered ou the legal profession with an enthusiastic de? sire to enforce justice on all sides, continued in it to make a fortune, a d finally abandoned it in disgust. This was voted good, but it was not an answer to tho conundrum; and the visitor being called upon, said that the reason a lawyer enters upon his profession is, that he may "get on;" that ho continues in it to get hon-or, and finally abandons it to get hon-est.
