It is filled with original as well as selected mittler? aditeajais, oorrospondonoe, gene ra^tg^^^M^etsy ; tele^^a^, inter?s^ oonaufs ?te nojrjESwM M aj?gh?y e?fiaA?ihlng nouveae?e, the production of a lady of this city, and whioh baa been pronounced bj disinterested critics sJReqiht V? the Tory best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Oifcney, or the Fortunes of Juliet Clay? burn-a tale of the Palmetto State," and wilt run through about twenty Bambers of the "GsfiAKXB." AB we are desirous of introddoing the paper-which is in every sense a "home companion"-into every family in the State, we have de? termined to reduce the yearly subscrip? tion price, as follows-payable, in all cases, in advance: Single copy $2.75; ten copies, (to one post office,) 825.00; twenty copies $46,00; fifty copies 8100. The GLEAN EB and the "Rural Caroli? nian"-tho popular agricultural monthly -will be famished* for one year, at four dollars. Address orders to PHOZNTX and GTJCANBB Office, Columbia, S. C. Our cotomporary, the Charleston Nexcs, seems to regard it its special duty to lay down a programme for the political gnidanoe of the anti-radioaliate of this State. It has been beating around for so?ie time and essaying to hit upon something definite and likely to prove acceptable. First, it laid down what it distinctly called the platform of the Democratic party of SoutJi Carolina. Now it proposes a platform for "the coming party"-name to be hereafter fixed name to be anything, provided it is not Democrat, and provided it is not radical or "Republican.1, In other words, the News proposes a middle party-a "third party." Now this we have to say, that this is a little singular, since scarcely a week has passed since the News de? nounced, in strong terms, the "third porty" movement. Furthermore, the Netos must be aware that il cannot claim originality for its present suggestions. It cannot get letters patent for its inven? tion. The Winnaboro News is before its Charleston name-Bake. The News, of Charleston, is now advocating what our friend of the Winnaboro News has been patting forth for some time. We dis? sented from the Winnsboro News, for the same reasons we dissent from the Charleston Neics. We do not accept the policy proposed by the News. We do not like to repeat onrselvcs, but it is per? haps incumbent upon us briefiy'to restate our argument. We begin by affirming that we are not wedded to any party. Above party considerations the public interests rise, at all times, in our mind nay, they tower high above. But we have to look at things in a practical way, and if we desire to exert an influence we have to act in a practical way. It so hap? pens that two great parties now divide this country. Of these two existing or? ganizations, the Democratic organization comes nearest our interests, our sympa? thies, our aspirations, our principles. It has a past of whioh no one need be aihanied. The News wonld consent to blot it out. We are proud of it and weald lot it stand. We do not approve of all that it has done. It may have left some things undone which it ought to have done. But, in the main, it has ad? vanced the country in grandeur, and stood by the South since the war. It has fought for constitutional rule, and now it is the only bulwark between the mad? ness of radicalism and the safeguards of the people. So much for the Democracy in general, bnt let ns more particularly consider the Democratic party of South Carolina. The South Carolina Democra? cy wasorgauized at the April Convention, in 1868. Ita past is before tho State. It is true that it failed of complete success, but can it be demonstrated that any other movement would have succeeded better, under all tho circumstances of the case? It elected two ont of four Congressmen and carried nearly one-half of tho Coun? ties in the State. We know whereof we speak. In nearly every County of tho State, and in every County where men did their duty, the anti-radicalists rallied with fervid enthusiasm and polled their wholo strength. It was an honorable canvass, and accomplished large and unexpected results. What, now, was tho spirit of the South Carolina Democracy? We af? firm that it was high and sagacious. It took a bold stop forward, conceded quali? fied suffrage, contrary to tho opinion even of Northern Democrats, and conducted the canvass in a manly and spirited way. The leaders of the party discountenanced any violcnco, and if violent fiction was in? dulged in, they were not responsible-no moro than tho leaders of the radical par? ty are all responsible for the numerous incendiary fires that havo occurred in various portions of the State. So much for tho South Carolina Democracv iu the PARTY-MAKING. immediate pest What stand does it now | Aa for ourselves, we acknowledge that we have advanced with the times. We adapt ourselves to the situation. We see what has passed beyond the domain of debate. We accept the' political equality of the colored and-neither now no? here? after would we disturb hi? present po? litical privileges. We are disposed to get thonegroontof politics by conceding to bim all that can be claimed for him, to the end that we msgr harmoniously unite in promoting tba public good. Now, it is claimed that the name of De? mocrat ia distasteful to the colored voter, and that if this name be merged into another, he will the more readily vote with the opposition. This is a delusion. The colored voter is no more to be de? ceived than the white voter. And, in onr judgment, a candid, fair, outspoken De? mocracy will win moro votos from his ranks than any middle party or any new name. We regard all such moves as those proposed by the Nexos as calculated to do harm, and harm only to the cause of the opposition. But this we hope the public well understand: the moves and the counter-moves that are now making in behalf of tho Democratic party of South Carolina do not affect the columns massed in the rear. Parties may pass to and fro, and give the word to disband and to roform; but the columns remain firm. Nor nt the bidding either of friend or foe, will they consent, we take it, to drop the name whereby they have been knowu, or to break the ranks of their formation. CRIME NORTH AND SOUTH. In tho proceedings of tho Senate, on Thursday, it was mentioned that Mr. Abbott offered a resolution, which was adopted, setting forth that violations of the public peace aro of frequent occur? rence iu various Southern States, and that protection of life and property by the General Government is the right of every citizen, and instructing the Judi? ciary Committee to inquire what is the power of the General Government in the premises, and also to inquire into tho constitutionality and expediency of es? tablishing a national police force for tho better enforcement of law. The resolu? tion should have boen arnon Jed by intro? ducing tho words "Northern and" before Southern States. We commend the Judiciary Committee, in their inquiries, to include the city of New York. The Herahl, ol that city, says that "nothing in the history of Christian cities-the worst capitals in the worst ages of the past-can equul or approach tho dread? ful prevalence of crime in that metro? politan shamble. Scarcely a day passes, without its frightful story. I?seity news is, just now, only spared chronicling two more murders, similar in character to tho Townsend butchery, by the failure of the murderous aim in both cases. Al? ready, iu tho one month of this year, it hns chronicled a murder or attempted murder for every day in the month, and not ono of these crimes but seems in? spired by a spirit of fiendish savagery equal to tho worst act men or devils oould conceive. It is not only that the pistol and the knife are on all hands the ready arbiters of every difference, bnt it is almost as if some general madness to kill had taken possession of certain classes, and as if this frenzy rioted in the certainty that the indulgence of its impulses was absolutely safe." Tho New York Times has a column on the samo subject, in which it advocates Lynch law. There is not a locality in the South where crimo is near as rampant as in tho city of Now York. If it is "constitu? tional" to establish a police force in the Southern States, it must be equally so in the Northern-unless the Southern States have not been so reconstructed as to bo equal with the other States of tho Union. A NOTVLK DISPLAY OF CHARITY.-Inci? dents like tho following exert a marvel? lously-healing power on tho warm Southern heart. A writer, from Nash? ville, Tennessee, to one of the New York papers, says: "Tho Confederate orphans, sixty in number, from their Hume in Cl??rksville, wcro brought here, ?>n Tuesday last, to givo a concert in aid of their Home, the institution being ontirely dependent upon private charity. At tho railroad depot, thoy were mot by the Federal post bands, in full uniform, which pre? ceded them into thc city, playing sweetly and mournfully, therefore most appro? priately, commanding the admiration and constraining tho enthusiastic ap? plause of thousands. This practical fact, with tho culmination of that beginning in the Federal post officers attending the concert in the evening in full uniform, where honors given wero responded to by tears of sympathy shed and contribu? tions bestowed, has preached the Union with decided power in all this quarter, and been accepted as an earnest of peace and good-will to come." House met at 12 m.l5||?Bltfa The joint committee appointed at the regalar session, upon a resolution passed Marou. ?2, 1809, "to regul?te the manner of keeping and disbursiqg__fands, by certain officers," made a report on saia resolution, which was received aft infor? mation. Favorable reports of the Judiciary Committee on a joint resolution to an thorizo the Secretary of State to pur? chase 200 copies of Richardson's Law and Equity Reports; on a bill to grant a certain lot of land in the oity of Colum? bia to the Zion Baptist Churoh of Co? lumbia, were read and laid over. A bill for the better protection of laborers and others under contracts for service, was read the second time and ordered to be engrossed. A Senate bill to revise, simplify and abridge the rules, practice, pleading and forma of the courts of this State, occu? pied the House up to the hour of ad? journment. Oun CUBAN NEWS.-The latest intelli? gence from our correspondente in Cuba is most favorable to the cause of the revolutionists. Two expeditions recently left Nassau for Cuba, with men, arms and ammunition, and there is every reason to believe that they have proved suooessful. ?V steamer is reported to have landed on the North coast of the island with arms and ammunition. In the neighborhood of Santiago de Cuba the Cubans are up and doing. A greater degree of activity is noticeable in the conduct of tho revo? lution than bas previously characterized it. The patriots have also learned tho advantages of silence, in keeping to themselves their proposod xnovoments, and not to blazoning them forth for the benefit of their onemios. Let results tell their own story. The prospeots for Cnha, taken altogether, are brightening. [ New York llerahl A white mau, named Allen, married a negro woman in Corpus Christi, Texas, on the night of the 18th ult., and the Advertiser says: ' Allen's 'friends,' we understand, did not relish the joke much. A number of Company B, Tenth Infantry, (Allen formerly bcic?2gC? ',0 that company,) paid bim their respects by painting him black, greasing him so ho would ahine and afterward throwing him into the bay. We understand he has turned up missing." HAYTIEN AFFAIRS-Bassett, our co? lored representative to tho Haytien re? public, has narrowly escaped outrage at tho hands of tho opponents of Salnave. It seems his Excellency attempted to I obtain the body of the defunct President j for proper burial by tho family of the deceased, when the mob became so in? furiated that Bassett was grossly insulted and his life threatened. A ministerial po? sition in the Haytien republic is evident? ly not an enviable one. THE HUDSON AGAIN CLOSED.-After being open through almost the entire month of January, the Hudson River is again closed with icc. Tho steamer Connecticut, which came down on Wednesday over a clear coarse, was com? pelled to lay up and unload at Hudson yesterday, on her return trip. The ther? mometer indicates such a low figure, that there is some hope of cold weather yet. Says the Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel: ??A sheriff from a heavily-taxed County came in recently to make his returns. He said he had sold some men out of house and homo to satisfy the Government's demand for taxes, and be know women and children wore suffering for bread, and the money ho paid into the Trea? sury for taxes should have gone to sup? ply their wants." At McKean, Pa., it is the rule in the church that thc men shall sit on one side and the women on the other; an unusual cruelty, by the way. A few days since, a young man refused to be divided from his girl, was arrested, and the jury ac? quitted bim by bis paying half the coste. A musician at a Monaco casino lately bought a bottle of champagno, and, sit? ting down to the piano, he played the gayest music and drank his wine until but a single glass remained; into this he poured a vial of prussic acid, drank it off, and began a solemn funeral march, which only ended with bis death. Of korosene horrors, there oppears to bo no cud. We take up no paper that some record of death by explosion or accidental ignition of this illuminator does not greet the eye. An entire family was dreadfully burned, in Buf? falo, on Monday night, by an explosion of kerosene. Chicago is cutting down rents, but local taxes do not decrease, and tho young city is called upou to pay about $8,000,00(1 per annum for general and local municipal purposes, which is quito up to Now York, if not a long stride ahead.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.-We learn that tho residence of Mrs. Gaim, in the vicinity of Pleasant Hill, Lancaster, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning last, and that tho youngest child of Mrs. G. perished in tho* flames.

We take the story from the Richmond Enquirer: TM FOXES ANDTHEBKAR.-Onoe upon a time, some foxes and a bear went into ?artnersh?p, and occupied the same cave, 'hey lived together peaceably for many years, the foxes finding the bear of great advantage to thom, for he contributed moro than the foxes did to the common support, and he did the most of the fighting in a great battle that they once had with the lion. But at last, there arose a family quarrel, and it came about in this way: When the winter oame, it was the habit of the bear to stop work and to spend the whole of the time in the cave, sucking his paws, and in this way, he enjoyed himself hugely. The foxes seeing how well the bear got on withont work, and how he enjoyed him? self, aommeoced sucking their paws, but somehow or other, they found that they could not mako a living in that way, as the bear could, and thut on the wholo, it didn't pay; so they hud to give it np and go out into tho cold and forage for u liv? ing, as usual. Then they began to envy the bear, because ho appeared to enjoy himself and to live so much easier than they did, and took up n violent hatred to him j nat beean so he sucked his paws. They passed a law that the sacking of paws should bo abolished forever among foxes, and then they bogan to remon? strate with the bear upou the impropri? ety of his sommet and to petition him to*give up tho horrible pruotice. Bul tho bear suid he would do no such thing; that it was agreed upon when they firs! went into partnership, that he should be allowed to suck his paws iu peuce; thal ho had a constitutional right to do so that it was necessary for his comfort and happiness, and that paw suck ho would to the end of time, and thc foxes had nc right to interfere with bim. Then tin foxes got up auti-paw-sucking societies, which declared that paw-sucking was th< sum of all villainies, und they preached at the bear, and petitioned him, am even went so fur as to pull his paws ou of his mouth, at which the bear got intt such a violent rage that he declared tim h? Tft?Ul? ?I^Give partnership with thi foxes and leavo the cave, and go and se up business for himself. Buttha foxe told him that ho had no right to leave and that ho shouldn't leave. The bea said he would not ask thom any odds that ho could whip a thou jand misernbl little foxes, and ono lino morning, h told tho foxes good-bye, and proceedei to walk out of the cave and leave it for ovor. But he had hardly got out of th cave, before the foxes set up a tremen dous howl and fell on him, and ther was such a fight as was hardly ever seei before. The bear flung the foxes righ and left, slapped them over, crushei them, and tore them to pieces, and often times thought that he had got rid o them, but the more foxes he killed, th more they seemed to increase in nu m bers, for tho foxes, finding that the bea was getting the better of them and wa about to got off, sent out and hired som foreign foxes to help them; so that, a fust as one set of foxes was killed, otho foxes were put in their place, and th bear had no rest. But he stood at ba and kept tho foxes off aa fast as the came up. Finally, the foxes, findin that they could not whip him in a fai fight, determined to starve him out, s they surrounded him completely, so tba he oould get nothing to eat or to drinl The bear then began to suffer severe! and to grow thin and wonk, and in hi distress, be called upon the eagle an tho lion to como over and help him, bc they told him that he must do his ow fighting. At last, the bear became s completely exhausted by hunger and fi tigue, that he could soarcely stand ur and the foxes thinking that they migl now make a venture, collected togethe in great numbers and fell upon the boa and walloped him so that he stoppe fighting and cried "Enough!" and sai that ho would go back into tho ca\ again and carry on business as before. But tho foxes told him to wait awhili he must have his abilities removed. S they tied him, hand and foot, with strou cords, and muzzled him, and placed strong guard around him, and then bi gan to parley with him and persecul him. They told him beforo they coal lot him ?;o back into the cave again 1 must take a solemn oath of allegiance \ tho fox governmont. Tho bear took tl prescribed oath, and said "Now let nc in." But tho foxes said not yet; yo must take another oath that paw-suckin is unconstitutional, aud swear neve again to suck your paws. Tho bear too that oath also, sud oven went so fur as 1 declare that ho believed that paw-suckio had boen a disadvantage to him, and th: he was glad that ho had boon forced I givo up tho abominablo practico; an after taking this oath and making th coufossion, ho said: "Now let me in. But tho foxes said, not yet, you must ci a little dirt first. At this the bear wi indignant-he declared that ho had nevi eaton auy dirt in his life, and that it di not agree with him; but the foxes sail no matter, you must cat a little, just little; and tho bear mndo a wry face, an took a mouthful of dirt and eat it, an said "Now lot me in." But tho foxi said not yet; you must cat more dir and tho boar eat moro dirt, and aau "Now let mo in." But tho foxes sail not yet; you haven't eaten dirtonougl The bear then began to eat dirt ravenou ly until his abdoinon swelled out like Digger Indian's, and said, "Now let ni in." But thc foxes said wait a whi! lougor, von must beoomo penitent, au learn to bear and forbear. The bear wi now in a most miserablo plight, he wi nearly starred to death, and was covert with wounds and sores from the erois of bis head to tb? soles of his feet, and thousands of hungry blue-belli ed flies, Ukin* advanfc?e*f his dafenank? cnn. I fiticM, had settle! upofc|hfcp, and wera Stecupg on his Mies andr fattening on his ?ovaSty; and every time tho bear at? tempted to shake off these flies, the foxes saitrrbat he waa Brill rob el H ou s, anti was trying to get away, and took occasion to tighten his cords and to persecute him. They told him that he must not disturb the flies, but must love them and let them eat. And the bear let the flies alone and let them eat, and said, "Now let me in." i Bnt the foxes said, "Wait a little longer, we are afraid if we let you in, you won't stay in, but will rebel again and leave us and get back to your old practice of paw suckiDg, you must give us guarantees for Jour good behavior." And so the foxes ept putting off and tantalizing the poor bear, and he is outside of the cavo to this day, and if be complains the foxes make fun of bim and call him OLD SonE HEAD.

The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company having been formed by the consolidation of the Charlotte and South Carolina and the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and having executed a first and only mortgage on its entire property of 195 miles, including equip? ment, is now redeeming all tho bonds formerly issued by said two companies by an exchange of its first mortgage bonds. These bonds bear seven per cent, interest, payable in January and July, and aro amply secured by a mort? gage on property which cost per milo more than three times the amount of bonds so issued. The presont price of tho stock and tho business of tho road give ample guaran? tee of tho security of the obligations for a pormanent investment. Indeed tho opinion is freoly expressed, that there is no safer bonds issued by any party or corporation in tho Stato, and they are cheerfully commeuded to capitalista as a safe investment. For the purpose of funding tho float? ing dobt of tho Company, &*>0,000 of these bonds are offered for salo to the public, at tho Treasurer's Office in Co? lumbia. WM.
