Journal. "cam den, s.c., nov. 27TsstT THE LEGISLATURE. Thir? body met on Tuesday. Ilcn. J. L M. Irby wax elected Speaker, and botl. Houses are ready for the transaction of busincs>. Their acting and doings will be watched with anxious interest, and upon Lhain rests a solemn responsibility. Elected on a platform of economy and reform, the State waits with bated breath to sec in what direction these principles will be affected, and how. The majority of the House are new to their duties, but if guided by a sincere care for the State, an earne?t desire to leurn these duties, and a broad spirit of patriotic endeavor, they will take counsel of J i he more experienced members and act with an eve single to our welfare. We believe they mean well, and are determined to exert, their best efforts for the State. Tliere is no r*ason why they should not. for we are all j in the same boat, as what affects one class or section must affect another. * It is too early yet to form any opinii n ol the measures which will be introduced. There is more or less of routine in all legis lative work, and certain things which have to be done as a matter of course. They1 wil! await suggestions from the new Governor. who has devoted his time from his, election to now looking into tlio condition of the State, and will doubtless advise with j the members as to the measures he may propo;*. Upon him rests a solemn re sponsibility, and he knows the eyts of the -State are upon him, as upon him depends, than any other one man, the success <o? his administration. will frmn time to time during the session discuss these measures, and endeavor to do so in a spirit of fairness. There is too much at stake for captious criticism or carping. The welfare of the State is involved, anl this means her f>e?t interests for the present and the future. We trust there will be less of local legislation than formerly. This l as been a curse and an excuse, and yet, under the mongrclized system adopted in 180S. it has apparently Ucn unavoidable, and until a change is made in our organic law it is difficult to see how it can be otherwise. We hope to see a conservative course pursued, \vhieh will demonstrate an indisposition to iflake haste with wanton strides regardlessof the necessities or adaptability of the changos proposed. At the same time, if any judicious cutting down of expenses or changes in the modes of administration can be effected or inaugurated, without being too violent or sudden, they should be pro|K?sed and carried out. Experience is a safe guide in such mat'ers, and as time has tested the efficiency and practicability of the present system, we do not believe many changes will be found necessary. Go slow, think well, look carefully and act cadliousiy, should be the motto. The special wenkn. ss of our system is in the cour.tv governments, and if the amendment proposeu 10 ine codhhu iuu iu j?ui. ? the Legislai ure has passed, it will enable thislxxly-^ do much for the counties.? But more anon. MR SC1IROCK OX POLITICAL OPTIMISM. Our young friend takes the Jocenal to task, as will be seen by his article, for exp essing a preference for political optimism rather than political pessimism. He has t >titlly misconstrued the purport and connection in which the sentence quoted is used. If ho believes that the people of this country are a herd to be swayed about and used for political purposes by professional politicians, and have no virtue or munhood, then he is right; but if he believes there is virtue and manhood and capability of a higher citizenship iu them, as Cleveland believes, then he is wrong. l'he pessimist disbelieves in their capacity or adaptability to think or choose for themselves, or that they have any rights beyond those of being used for selfish purposes. Political management and shrewdness is one tiling, a low estimate of the peoplo quite another. A man may fool ibem, but in the end they will size him up and give him his deserts. Cleveland put * 1 * {? 10CO mmscu ou mi cioukm ^uixvuu <u and although his defeat may have been partly caused by it, yet in this year of grace the people have vindicated nun. If he had been a pot-house politician, and "crooked the pregnant knee that thrift might follow fawning," he might jiossibly have avoidod it, ulthough shrewd Republi cans say the issue ho then made was consummate wisdom. The McKinley Tariff Bill, the pension grabs and Reed's rulings are the offspring of political pessimism. They were conceived and carried out in utter disregard of the rights of the people, and from a contempt of them, lie and his coadjutors believed the people would stand anything, and looked upon thorn as a mere herd of cattle, and played into the hands of the rich protectionists out of whom they have been wont to "fry the fat." Grief has come to them. The political optimist believes in them, has faith in them, and trusts to their ultimate vindication. Jackson had it, Lincoln hud it, and.CIeveland has it. The two formor were consummate politicians, and the litter is no fool. They all knew that the people could be trusted to come right. As old Abe said, "some of the people are always wrong, some of the people occasionally so, but all of the people are never wrong." ( And even in li>S8, notwithstanding Cleveland's Tariff message and the money spent by the Republicans, Cleveland beat Harrison by u popular voto of 100,000. The shrewdest Democratic politician in the I party, D. B. IIill, is a political optimist, , for he is a peoples' man. Jas. G. Blaine, , -?1? '" tl?A Poni?Klinnn oarl v WIIU MUUU5 IV I ItV/ nvpuviivuu [,****J Harry of the West did to the Whigs, is em- ] phatically an optimist. liepubliean pessimism has caused the de- ' feat of that party, while Democratic optim- 1 ism is forging us to the front. Our young j friend confounds this term with a sjweies , of political Miss Nancyi.-m which fails to . recognize aud reward party work, or ignores ' party fealty. He has written a good article, ' but has missed the sense and construction if the sentence or the intention of the editorial. Perhaps it is the fault of the Joustsal. We are always glad to hear from friends, and court expressions of opinion from thein. Free discussion is the life of thought, and criticism gives zest to it. THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE AND HANK. The State Alliance have decided to remove their Exchange from Greenville to Columbia, and in connexion with it cstab lish a Hank with a proposed capital of 1100,000. As we take a deep interest in the Alliance in everything appertaining to its legitimate functions, and have great faith in it. divested of political '.ignificance or complication, we welcome this sign of its progress and healthful condition. Col. I). P. Duncan, in behalf of the committee appointed to consider these matters, | has written in the News and Courier of the 21st instant a very strong and slcar letter, setting forth the reasons for the removal of the former and establishment of the lutter. It explains the magnitude of tl c Alliance Exchange, the good it has achioved and can achieve, and shows that in the single item of bnggingalone $18,000 will he saved our farmers during the incoming year by the contracts made for its supply, lie very truly says that in lines of mere ordinary merchandize it is unwise to compete with merchants, but in guanos, bagging and ties, machinery, agricultural impliinents, etc., the Exchange is the legitimate and proper vehicle to transact such busi r.ess. .As to the Bank, its capital will be raised by individual subscriptions, and as a basis for operations and bolstering up c red id, together with the legitimate profits which will inure under good and safe management. it will be a paying institution, and a trusty one. lie is very outspoken in telling farmers that tlioy have too little faith and arc too impatient for results. As a fanner himself, he can take the liberty oi thus writing, but if an outsider attempted it. he would be straight way accused of prejudice. AVe rejoice to sec this advance in the prospects of our Alliance friends, and wish them every success. Combination and co-opoiation are the features of the day, and there is no reason why, for self-pro toe* tion and advancement of their imprests, farmers should not combine. They ar< the substrutum of all of our prosperity, and as they flourish so will all other interests be benefit'ed. THANKSGIVING DAY. Once more in the Providence of God tin annual Thanksgiving nay nus coma, am as a poodle we are called upon by our Na tional and State authorities to ackuowledgt the many obligations we are undor, and hi assembling in our places of worship ben: public testimony of our gratitude to tlx Giver of all good. It is a meet and propei observance, ard as a professedly Clrristiar people we should make acknowledgmen' of His gracious mercies. Ho has clolhet the year with fatness and gladdened ou hearts with garnered stores. Grim wan disturbs us not, nor does postilcnee stall [ abroad iu our streets. Wo have a good!] i or warm the heart. It is a land of mill and honey, and nature has beautified ant art adorned it. 'Tis true we were for several months sore Jy vexed with political strife in this State and heart-burnings wore engendered, bu ( out of this strife peace has come at last aud we have settled down, we hops, to < condition of bettor feeling, greater forbear ance, and a more hopeful trust for the future. Nationally, high-handed outrage: have been perpetrated, exacting laxatioi has been inflicted, and overbearing tyranny has marked the course of the party in power, but in the Providenco of God, Gohurur in waxing fat has aroused the indiguatioi of a long-suffering people, and in Iheij might tbey have rebukod arroganeo and re pudiated wrong. In all of these things wc have cause foi thankfulness, and from the depths of out hearts let us exclaim, the Lord God omnip otent reigneth, for "He pulleth down one and setteth up another." But in the midst of our grat illations let us not forget that we ure still a stiff-necked and rebellious people, and our National sins cry aloud to Heaven. National power has been used for extortion, combined wealth has ground the wage-earner.iuto the dust, our Treasury has been a crib for hordes of cormorants, while inequality, exactions, prodigality and injustice have characterized our Nationul legislation. The trust committed to our rulers has been abused, and the poverty and wretchedness in the midst of our soeming prosperi.y demand attention and relief. Let us then bow our beads to the dust, and not exalt them to the skies, and pray God for more wisdom, a broader patriotism and more humane hearts, and that our future may atone for the sins and follies of the past. THE TRAMP IS POLITICS. Last week we touched on the Hustler in politics. "We now propose to say a few words on the political Tramp. This species of politica. vagrant, who wonders from one party fold to another for the sake of office or pelf, is more or less unknown in ?1./i _.!?i luv; uuu * WIM1 UX* uberance at- the North, where machine politics are better known and p.actieed. There the professional heeler has an extensive field of operation, and as a creature of to day, with no eye for the future, is on the look out and the make all the while. lie has no principle, is devoid of fealty, and with an eye ever to windward, snuffs the rising breeze with the keen scent of an old salt. He is a wanderer on the face of the earth, and his whole lira is to getting a rest-ng place for the time being, and realize something for his services, or else h? is willing to stultify his past for present gain, and submit to every abnegation of lelf respect for political preferment. He is up for sah\ and the highest bidder purchases him. The greatest political tramp of this lattir class in America is I?. K." Butler, whose exploits in 1SS4 on title him to the appellation of tin "Boss Tramp" of the country. Among the illustrations of the lower order of trumps are O'Brieu, ot New York, who took Jay Gould'* 850,000 in thot memorable campaign and sold him out, and Pcvcnport, the notorious, who manipulated the registration of New York in 1830 In every city now in the North are regu 1 r professional tramps, who live on trading, and are bought and sold in every c-lection.

[For the Camden Journal ] "Cleveland at Columbus." "Political optimism is the proof of a broad and cathlic love for our institutions and is preferable to that pessimism which sneers at the people and would regard thorn as a herd to be used as politicians may choose, or swayed by venal motives or influenced by corrupt methods." This sentence occurs in an editorial in the Journal of November 20th. on "Cleveland at Columbus," and while the sentiment is in itself grand, I, as an humble member of the bod) , politic, beg to nifter with the dis1 tinguished writer of the editorial as to its application -or adaptability to . the times in which we live. Year9 hence, when Americans shall have , reached that lofty plane of thought , and freedom of action which be[ comes citizens of the'greatest country under the sun, such sentiments may [ awake a responsive echo which shall be heard and felt throughout all this [ broad land of ours, but until tlmt time shall come, the politicians and * * 4 - - ' -? wriief Ka /*AII. pjltriois O' UUI J'UI UJUOU uv vv/u tent to tight the devil with fire, or ir other winds to confront onr opponents with weapons equally sharp !

To continue the metaphor and to con, elude this article, I will say that the Democralio helmsman in 1S9'2 rnlist be a politician, keen and shrewd enough to successfully cope with the tremendous forces which will be brought to hear against us in that campaign. We will have arrayed against us then the combined powers of the administration, an army of office-holders, and the almost limitless su-iis of money which will be contaibuted by the manufacturers who realize that their very financial life depends upon the issue of the conflict. There arc at present but two available candidates before the pcoplo. They and their records are well knowm to all of us, aud while I advocate the claims of neither candidate, I am sure that the calm good sense of the next National Democratic Convention will throw sentiment to the winds and nominate the most availablo roan of the two to bear on the Democratic standard to a glorious victory in 181)2.

Monday their mother left them playing on the floor in her room together, and went out to attend tu household duties. While she was busy, the throe year old boy went out and got the axe and commenced chopping some kindling on the hearth. The baby drew near to watch the operation, and it wasn't many minutes before the axe came down on its hand, cutting off the first and second fingers of tlio left hand. Mr. Auton said the little fellow didn't cry until some minutes after the accident, when tho mother was washing tho blood from its little hand. When she returucd to the room she found it playing with the fingers that had been cut off.?Charlotte Chronicle.
