K"* * A Record for the Bon Ihnldcra.
One of the peculiarities of die South tll
Carolina politician is a vnalcne ? "or jg
** printing. The state spends from ten io 'p
!iwemy uve unitr> mute ??u i? .? ?
iog than any of her sister *taies. When J,
one thinks of thut expense in the light ic
that the proportion of those who know
how to read is smaller than any other j.state
the extravagant love for printing js
is singular; but when we consider that Jj
no where else do the times demand from n,
a politician so many sudden changes of J.
^ opinion as here, it is really surprising
that ihe records, by which the course of
each can be traced in all its devious '
windings, should not be suppressed. U1
The holders of Soutli Carolina bonds a)
may look with proflt upon a list of nemos e(
of those icoordod as vo ing for the ^
"Validating Hill'' in the last general a|
assembly and comparing it with a list of 3
those, who, being members of the pic- w
Bent legislature, have just voted for a ]
"repudiating hill," declaring the same / .
bonds once validated by their voles now y
i "i.nll and voir!.'' J
i It must be remembered that the vuli- ^
dating bill was passed with a full hnowl- p,
edge of all the circumstances under ^
which the conversion bonds were issued, p
after the fullest discussion, and in spiie w
0 of the earnest protests of those who c
then, as now, desired a judical dclcrmiua- ri
tion of the liability of the state, with its e
consequ nt investigation iuto all the ?
circumstances of their issue. c
The bill to relieve Kiiupton of all u
claims of the state and to accept bis a
settlement was passed at the same time p
by the same vote, with the exception of a
Biscomh. 1
Both these votes were had in spite of p
the fact that a report of a joint com- a
miii.ee was before the assembly showing t<
the grossest mismanagement, if not the \
grossest frauds iu the deulings of Kimp- ti
ton and all concerned in issuing the bond-: !<
of the slaic. t
Let them also remember that the d
statesman who now sigus the repudiating ],
bill, is the same who, as epeakcr of the 1
house, aided the passage of tlic va'ida- h
ting bill by every means known the ?
parliainealary law, even, as some think, ti
Biretching I be great power he exercised ^
as speaker to an unwarrantable extent b
iu iis favor. b
I. The following voted lait week in the t!
House for the clause rcpudiatiiigtlic cod- t1
vesion bonds, who being members of v
the last general assembly voted for the }
bill to validate the same bonds: u

! A Semi-Centennial Semiou.
H Christmas day being very inclement
B Dr. Walker deferred preaching bis seuiiM|
centennial sermon until Sunday last. It ^
H was listened to by a largo congregation ^
SB with feelings of tender emotion, for to
^Hp many of his hearers he has been the , a
H guaidian of childhood, the companion of a
BP youth aud the comforter of age. We
Bjv^ understand that the sermon, much of ai
which is historical in character will be te
HP printed at the request of the vestry ,r

A Taxpayers Convention.
The Charleston News opposes the
:o position-of Mr. Lathers to use the It
rauges ae a basis for the asscniblin j of tu
convention to take into consideration a.<
ie financial and political condition of ol
le state The New-, thiuks that politi- ft
d work is out of the province of the b<
atrons of Husbandry. But what more ti
roper buisiness could a grange be about gi
lan that of saving the faims of itsinem- w
ire from gradual confiscation. We G
jink, howevev. with <hc Nncs that .a k
ax payers Convention would probably b
s better. We would have a new one. o
ot the same delegates as that of JS7J. w
bat body did not escape the charge of bi
aving fallen under ihe contro1 of a sui T
["cock-lighting politicians, who ware on T
ie whole, fooled by tlic administration a
id used by the stockjobbers. In spite K
' >1. Lathers assertion we dont think
ie convent'Oo amounted to anything of
oment. The sterling bonds were not .
IE
-ued, but f om no tear of that body,
ho conversion bonds were all issued
ibseqacnt io its adjournment. Let the ^
dogates be elected from taxpayers by
ieet:ng at the county court houses, ^
when it assembles let it address j.
elf to the work of organization. That
ad that is necessary to secure u reform.
; may come either through a good
jufnation by the republicans or by (heir j
.deal if ihey nominate a bad man.

Oq Wednesday, the day before Christ*
ias, wc assisted, as thoy say in France,
: a Sunday school festival held in the a
iture rooui of the Episcopal church, j
he house Was crowded by the members a
ad friends of the school. All eyes were
xed upon a splendid evergieen, loaded
Ith presents i'or the children. One of ^
le best features of ihe occasion was the ..
ict that the tiec and its fruit were a j(
jrprise to the children and other friends. ;|
l lady member of Emmanuel Church, t
Jo-ton. at the request of a visiting friend }.
om Leuufort, sent them as a Christmas y
ill to the Sunday school. There were 0
laced in the hauds of Mrs. Dr. Walker j
rlio is :.-o unceasing ia well-doing to t
hurch and people, bat sorrow and beeavement
made it impossible far her to
ngage in a festival at this time. The
jacliers and some ladies interested pro- r
urcd and t. iuiuied the tree. One gentle- s
ten gave a laige supply of candy and ]
nothcr an abundance of oranges and ap- t
les. Cakes were also sent by some ladies, j
nd so the festival was made complete. v
'he lecture room was crowded wiih hap- v
y children connected with the school c
nd their friends who had been invited ^
a partake. AH were made welcome. Dr. t
Valker, the rector, read from Revela- j
ions, ''and the leaves of the tree were t
_>r the healing of the nations," alluding .
a the cliristuias tree as coming from c
isiant and long dissevered fiends, and v
lOped that its leaves might be for the a
'healing of the nation." A Christmas .
ymn was sung r.ad then began a merry c
ccnc, as the fait was plucked aad dis
ributcd to the eager children. There
rcre dolls for girls, games, knives and
alls, lor boys and cornncopiasand candy c
ags for all. Not the least pleasaut 1
hing connected with this festival were ,
he meetings for wo k befotchand. We i
rish all who weic thus engaged a Happy t
few Year and many returns of such '
jerry holiday fostivi'ies.
On Friday night, another chrisimas ,

hewprk of Mrs. W. M. French, assisted (
iy the Dev. Mr. Duntonand some ladies ,
?
f the congregation. Dolls, toys and
lockings full of candy were provided for
11. Mr. Dunton read a charming little !
lory about Annie and Willie, and their j
irayer for enristmas preseuts. Mr. Dua- (
on's Bne reading of the poem made it |
qually interesting to the most ignorant i
hild and the most cultivated of his lis- '
cners. Each child's name was billed ,
nd they came forward with faces beam- i
ng with delight to receive their presents. (
'lie orderly and polite conduct of the
hildreu added greatly to the pleasure of
he occasion. Mrs. Dunlou received ro
