BEDUCTIOK VS PRICE-OumBiNa.-The WnKEliT GLMANKB contains more reading matter than any other family paper pub? lished in the South-thirty-two long coln mus, printed in clear type. It is filled with original as well as selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene? ral news, markets, telegrams, interest? ing stories, sketches, poetry, etc. Dar? ing the early part of the coming year its columns will be graced by a highly entertaining nouvelleila, tho production of a lady of this city, aud which has beau pronounced by disinterested critics as equal to the very best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or the Fortunes of Juliet Cly? burn-a tale of the Palmetto State," and will ran through about twenty numbers of the "GLEANER." AS we are desirous of introducing tho paper-which is in every sense a "home companion"-into every family in the State, we hnve de? termined to reduce the yearly subscrip? tion prioe, as follows-payable, in all oases, in advance: Single copy $2.75; ten copies, (to one post office,) $25.00; twenty copies $45.00; fifty copies $100. Tho GLEANER and the "Rural Caroli? nian"-the popular agricultural monthly -will be furnished, for one year, at four dollars. The above rates go into ???et on the first of January, 1870. Address orders to the PHONIX and GLEANED Office, Columbia, S. C. The Township Question. Mr. Frank Arnim, Chairman of the Conference of County Commissioners, baa presented a memorial to. the Legis? lature, urging the postponement for ten years, of the organization of the town? ships. It is to be hoped that the sug? gestion will be heeded. Inasmuch as this recommendation comes from the County Commissioners themselves, aud many of thom members of the party in power, the inapplicability of the township system to the present condition of the State must indeed stand out in bold re? lief. The faot of the matter is, the adoption of the bill by the Legislature was an instance of legislative folly. It was a Northern system, totally unsuited to this State, and entailing heavy and entirely unnecessary bardons upon the tax-payers. Let Mr. Arnim'-* memorial be entertained. The system isa nuisance and an outrage upon sensible legislation. The memorial says: "The County Commissioners of the several counties have had their attention called by the citizens to the provisions of the Act, and have beon invited to coufer about the objections that have boen urged to it. The opinion entertained is, that the impoverished oocdition of tho State, at the present time, renders it impossi? ble for the people to pay the additioual taxes which the requirement nnder this Aot provide for, and in view of this opinion it was deemed worthy of the at? tention and consideration of the Confer? ence of County Commissioners of the State, in the proper discharge of their duties to the people of the several coun? ties, to ropresent to the Legislature the necessity of postponing tho organization of townships for a period of ten years at least, at tho expiration of which it is to be hoped that the State will bc in a pros? perous condition. "The connties of the State, laid out as the law directs,would be sub-divided into townships of not less than thirty-six, and not more than 100 sqnare miles in extent. The State contains 37,000 square miles. Let us suppose wo divide the State into townships of fifty square miles each, it woald contain 740 townships, whioh will require, according to the Act, soven officers in each township. The law allows $1.50 per diem for each officer. Say, for argument, that those officers are on duty 150 days, at $1.50 per day; fer annum it would amount to $1.575. f one township amounts to $1,575, 740 townships would amount, perannum, to ?1,105,500. We have no doubt but most of these officers would bo on duty for the greater part of the year. You will perceive by these figures the enor? mous expense this township bill will incur. This is only paying the salaries of officers, whose pay will be the small sam of $1.50 per day, for which no com {?etent man, if he honestly discharges lis doty, would bo willing to give hit .lervioes." Tho CEoumenicui Connoil, summonec by the Popo, opened its sessions at Rome on Wednesday, the 8th instant. It ii the first time, in 300 years, that the grea synod of the Catholio Church has as semblod, and it is only because it ii deemed of momentous importance, ir view of the great changes of the period that their influence upon the churcl should be considered and dealt with that it is now brought together. Th< action of so important an ecclesiastics body will, of course, be of interest t< the whole religious world, and will b< observed and scrutinized to tho las degree. . WEDDING CARDS AND ENVELOPES.-J lot of wedding cards and envelopes, o latest styles, has jost been received which will be printed in imitation of en graving, and at less than one-tenth tin cost.
