"yi. varouna politician is ? v? i<<kiu printing. The state spends frniii ten ?o twenty five times more en public p *ntiug than any of her sister ?taie<. When one thinks of this expense in tiic light that the proporiion of those who know how to read is smaller than any other state the extravagant love for printing is singular; hut when we consider that no where else do the times demand from a politician so many sudden changes of opinion as here, it is rea'ly surprising that ihe roco.-ds, hy which tlie course of each can he traced in all its devious windings, should not be suppressed. The holders of South Carolina bonds may look with profit upon a list of'nr.me* of thouo iceorded as vo i?g for the "Validating 15111'' in the last general assembly and comparing it with a list of those, who, I uug members of the picsent legislature, have just voted lor a "repudiating hill," declaring the same bonds once validated by their vole.-; now "i.ull and void."' It must he remembered that the vtsli dating bill was passed with a lull knowledge of all the circumstances under which the conversion bonds were issued, after the fullest discussion, and in spile # of (he earnest protests of those who then, as now, desired a judical dclcrmitmtioD of the liability of the state, with its consequ nt investigation iuto all ihc circumstances of their issue. The bill to relieve Kiiuplon of all claims of the state and to accept his settlement was passed at the same time by the same voie, with the exception of Busconib. Both these votes were had in spite of the fact that a report of a joint committee was beforo the assembly showing the grossest mis-management, if not the grossest frauds iu the dealings of Kimpton and all concerned in issuing the bondof the state. Let them also remember that ihe statesman who now si-.'us the rcpndatitie bill. Is the same who, as speaker of the house, aided the passage of the validating hill by every means known the parliamentary law, even, :.s some thin!;, stretching f be great power he exercised as speaker to an unwarrantable extent in its favor. The 1'ollow in? voted la-1 week in tlie House for the clause rcpiidiatingthe convc?tion bonds, who being members of the last general assembly voted lor the bill to validate the same bonds: Barker, John A.

A Semi-Centennial Seraiou. Christmas day being very inclement Dr. Walker deferred preaching his semiX centennial sermon until Sunday last. It K was listened to by a largo congregation ! H with feelings of tender emotion, for to i many of his hearers he has been the , B guardian of childhood, the companion of W youth aud the comforter of age. Wo |p understand that the sermon, much of ( W which is historical in character will be i W printed at the request of the vestry -7 km?,- ^ A Taxpayers Contention. The Cha. lesion News opposes the proposition oi Mr. Lathers to use the b Granges a. a basis for the asseniUin.- of ti a convention to take into consideration a ;lie financial and political condition of o the state The New^ thinks that politi- ? cal work is out of the province of the b Patrons of Husbandry. But what more ti proj?er buisiness could a grange be about g than that of saving the faiuis of its mom- v hers from gradual confiscation. We C think, however, with he X'.ics that .a k Tax pave is Convention would probably be belter. We would have a new one. o Not tbc same delegates as that of 1S7I. v T'.ut body did not escape the charge of ? having fallen under <he control of asd )' of cock-ugh ting poii ieians, who were on 1 the whole, fooled by the administration : and used by the stockjobbers. In .spile r ofM . Lathers assertion we doni think he lonvcni'Oii r.uo':iuid to anything of moment. Th > ster'ing bonds wore not . is ued. but f oui no ear of that body. The conversion bonds we>e all issued subsequent ?o its adjournment. Let the P delegates be elected from taxpayers by mcetbig at the county court houses, : j ;.ii1 when it assembles let it address j. it elf to the woik of organization. That i- ad that is necessary to secure a reform. It tuay come either through a good nomination by the republ:can? or by ihoir j defeat ifihev nominate a bad man. o ?? r Clrri./inia T eos. On Wednesday, the day before Christmas, we assisted, as they say in Fiance, at a Sunday school festival held in tbc eciare room of the Episcopal church. ] The house was crowded by the members . and liicuds of the school. All eyes were tlxed upoii a splendid evcrgiecn, loaded with presents for the children. One of he best features of the occasion was the , iact that the tree and its fruit were a ? surprise to the children and other friends. . A lady member of Emmanuel Church, j Ho.-ton. ai the request of a visiting friend j from EouUiui t, sent them as a Christmas } gift to the Sunday school. There were ( placed in the hands of Mrs. Dr. Walker j who is :-o unceasing in well-doing ;o , church and people, bat sorrow and bereavement made it impossible for her to encase in a festival at this time. The teachers and some ladies in.crested pro- , cured aod t.iunued the tree. Ouegentle- . men gave a laige supply of candy and j another a:i abundance of oranges and ap- j pies. Cakes were also sent by.some ladies, ] and so the festival was made complete. , The lecture room was crowded with hap- , py children connected with the school ( and their friends who had been invited j to partake. All were made welcome. Dr. ( Walker, the rector, read from Iievela- | tions, ''and the leaves of the tree were , for the healing of the nations," alluding ( to the chritiuin* tree as coming from ( disiaut and long dissevered fiends, and , hoped that its leaves might be for the , "healing of the nation." A cliristmus , hymn was sung and then began a merry j scene, as the ft ait was plucked and dis tributcd to the caecr children. There wcro dolls for girls, games, knives and balls, for boys.. nd cornucopias and candy < bags for all. Not the least pleasaut ' thing connected with this festival weve | the meetings for wo k befoichand. We | wish all who weio sluts en'.aged a Happy i New Year and many returns of such merry holiday fcstivi'ics. On Friday n'glu, another chrisimas , tree was unloaded at lis colored Metho- i dist church. This was, as usual, mainly ' 'hewprk of Mrs. W. M. French, assisted ' by the Kcv. Mr. Duntonand some ladies , of the congregation. Dolls, toys and - - -i-*? p.. 11 .p j.. MOCKin.?;? iuiiui canity wure jmvviucu jui all. Mr. Dunton road a charming lit ile story about Aunie and Willie, and their prayer for christmas presents. Mr. Don- , ton's fine reading of the poem made it equally interesting to the most ignorant child and the most cultivated of his listeners. Kach child's name was called , and they caiue forward with faces beam- i ing with delight to receive their presents. 1 The orderly and polite conduct of the j ehildreu added greatly to the pleasure ol , the occasion.
