COLUMBIA, S; C. Suaiay Morning*. January 1,1871. 1S71-T?as Sew .saY. Thia morning ushers in a new year. The year 1870 has passed away, with its numer?os and diverse incidents, indi? vidual and national-with ita record, religions, social and political. What is past, we oannot reoall. But wo are wise, if reviewing the past in the spirit of a eobor inquiry, we Bkall resolve to ana? lyze it truthfully, to study its great lessons and to derivo benefit from the review. The year just passed away bas been an eventful one for the nations. It bas been an eventful one for many an individnal. But it is gone-passed away-with its hopes and fears, with its b*rths and deaths, with its disasters and victories. A new year is upon the indi? vidual, the nation, the world. It comes with its grave responsibilities. It comes with its great duties. We cannot say that hore in South Carolina it coin?s under very fair auspices. Whilst doubt? less we bave had cause to bo grateful foi calamities withheld aud blessings re? ceived, yot there is much iu the political and industrial world in which we live to arouse oar anxieties. The skies are not ho bright, and our surroundings arc not so agreeable as we might desire. But yet, after ali, is our duty the same, ?TL-'.t duty is obvious. It is to bau isl ?ll traitorous doubts, and in faith uni hopo to work on. Wo have our respon sibilities to meet-our respcnsibilitiei to God, our country and our families These must be met und disoharged Let them bo met earnestly, hopefuls; and perseveringly, to the end that tho] may be discharged efficiently and victo riously. We have victories to win, anc God helping, we shall win them-victo ries over ourselves, by which wo shal he made better, wiser and purer--victo ries over the forces of nature, by whicl our material progress shall be quickeuei -victories over the depressing politics influences around and over ns, by whicl the State shall be rcdocmed aud re established. To those duties we respectfully am earnestly summon our readers. lu tilt spirit of faith, hope aud work, we as them aud ourselves to begiu the dutie of the NEW TEAK. Bulwer says "cursen, like chickens still come home to roost." So do ba precedents. The lutter assertion is uo being verified in the case of thc Radict party in North Carolina. Last yeal Holden and his supporters desired t remove some conservative judges; the accordingly passed a law providing tin while charges on impeaohment wei filed against officials, the latter should b deposed from office. It was done. Nov wbou the Democratic Legislature righh onsly impeaches Governor Holden, tb law of his own making returns to depo; him od interim. The "chickens ai o ?ming home to roost.'' -, # ? ? CoKEsnuRY, December 31, 1870. MB. EDITOR: On tho 20th instant, tl Executive Committee of the South Ci rolina Agricultural and Mechanical S ciety met iu Columbia and awarded ce tain premiums. I went from C>>lnmb to Charleston, and, on my return, find letter from the Rev. R. R.

Holloway, long a resident Charleston, and for nearly fcuir year, fearless and devoted follower of the Lt Cause, died in that'city on the 25th. Tho Usury ?w? Bbat.ll Tfcey be Re? vived* Aa our readers tf?pe observed, Mr. Wilkes? A member of ' Ibo Stato Logiela toro from Anderses, bas ?ctroduccd a bill to renew ia thia Stato the lawa pre? scribing tho rotea at which money aboli be loaned. We concur in the opinion expressed by tho large majority of our cotemporaries. that auch legislation would be most unwiso. The principle of free trade, we take it, applies to money just as it does to any other arti? cle in the market. Usury laws, sumptu? ary laws and laws of that kind belong to a legislativo regime which ought to havo passed away. Wo do not agree with oar vory intelligent correspondent, "Farmer," who, in the PHONIX, of tho 30th ult., approves Mr. Wiikos' bill. Our correspondent says that the question is, has the repeal of tho old usury laws of South Carolina benefittod tho Stato? Wo roply that it doubtless has bcneQtted all tho iutercsts of the State, and tho agricultural quito as much as any other interest. We have needed, and do npw need hore, tho influx of money capital from abroad. If little had flowed hither with money rates as high as they aro and have beon, still less would have como at a proscribed low rate. If North? ern mouoy does not como here in streams to suit us, at eighteen per cent, per annum, will you got it by flxiug the rato at soven per cent? If money is not abundant in tho market at oue or two per ceut. per month, will it be at soven per cent, per annum? If tho money in the North-west rates at ten and twelve per cont, per annum-if tho Northern capitalist can invest his money in North? ern stocks and realizo his ten and twelvo per cent, per annum-will he send it South to recoivo for it tho low rate pre? scribed by law? Wo admit that tho ruto of iutcrest is too high. We regret it. We desiro lo seo tho rato promptly diminished. But of this wo feel just as sure as wo do that tho sun risos aud sets, that this result is not to be roached by a revival of tho explodod usury laws. If the truo princi? ples of political economy tench anything, they teach that money is worth-like corn and cotton-just what a mau want? ing it is ablo or willing to pay. Thc laws of trade should bo allowed to operate unfettered, or else tho public good is damaged. The rate of money is too high, but the reason is political inse? curity. Give us good, honest, reliable Governments at tho South, and the money rates will .bo reduced, and tho public iutcrest subserved. If Mr. Wilkes desires, as wo have no reason to believe ho does not, tho welfare of tho State, let him seek it, not by the effort to revivo old aud discarded princi? ples of legislation, but by tho effort to lesson the expenses of tho Government, to abate its corruptions and extrava? gances, and to introduce a fair, just and honest spirit into its administration. Let him do this-let him securo the re? duction of our taxes, and he will do fur moro good than by his tilt in behalf of tho usury laws. We do not question Mr. Wilkes' motives. But we do question his judgment, and that most decidedly. -?.?.>?
