'Tho old year is gone! Eightceu
Seveniy-aix is upou us. Whether it
will be more productive of good than
ito predecessor, the future alone.can
iiii?T?er. The old one has been fall
? of fini^ciaJ^/o^Uop'd^^Ijtlc^'j^^
V lotions., Let u? hope that tho now
onp will bo, freighted all, through with
''prosperity, pence and happiness, and
? that tho discordant1 elements which
^cxist in nil departments of our nation,
.will, bo harmonized before its close,
. Let us nil resolve to be faithful to
' ourselves, to our country and to our
God, at the begining of this centen
nial year, nnd, ero long, we shall
breathe easier nnd feel stronger to do
good. To the readers of the News
?and Times, we send a joyous greeting,
and wish them a happy New Year !
I Don't Look Back!
Christmas is gone again! The
great festival occasiou is once more
a thing of the past; but we would ad
vise our readers to forget it, if tlic.y
can, ' It. is true, that if thesp festive
days were not sprinkled inlo the years
of^our earthly existence, our hard
grinding 1 iic would soon wear us all
out. ?' ?
* But 8*.ill our advice is, not to look
back, for there arc numbers whose
lives have it* happy seasons in them,
no carnivals of joy, no merry-mak
ings, no hours of uninterrupted happi
ness! -'. In all tho three hundred and
siXty-five days, which go to make up
a year, there are hundreds who cannot
look ujion one of them which did not
have its sorrows, its heartburnings, its
aching!*, its dismal moments,?which
did net carry vritli it its own stings, or
forebodings of those to come. Life,
with such as these, is a continuous
struggle?a burden, that they would
willingly lay aside. Sickness or
poverty, or, that "deep midnight of the
soul";'which makes this world a Hell,
or the three combined, conspire to
snatch from their existence every ray
ol"*"earthly sunshine, every hope ot
earthly' comfort 1 Although Christ
mas is celebrated as Christ's day, yet
tlfere'can be but little appreciation of
Iiis mission t0 such ns these, lie has
said "come unto me all yo that labor
and are heavy laden, nnd I will give
you'.:reif; ; It ris hard for meu whoso
lafitp'.'of life emits no ray of light or
hope, .',to believe that n Higher then
theyvcares for them !? hard to believe
and act upon his promises. And yet,
we uro told that Christmas means that
Christ is thc^ friend of man?a sympa
thize^ and sharer in his sorrows; that
men honor him only when they
trust him; and 0*at in trusting him,
llicy throtv olf all corroding care and
an jj.TctyV^tli'ot'it is a perversion 6'fllfe ,
to 'allow it to bo wasted in a continu-"
al .ftyrry; thafc* 'if ""every body 'wero
rich- iP wViild Hc'vcxab'ny^
to everybody's being poor; and that
io bepo6r is neither disgraceful nor in
ilse}f,\4dcplorable. But the poor say
that stich reasoning as this may do for
those Who have never felt the sharp
arrows ofpoverty! of starvation staring
them in the lace, of going to the
grave un.cn red for and unwept! Such
reasoning docs not suit their condi
tion.
Hut, &r all this, Christmas is essen
tially ^rh&'s day, and should be so
rtgardvd.""* Ol course, the rich enjoy
it mme'lhen those who arc penniless;
and when it is gone, it leaves with the'
former tho. most pleasing recollections
of its duration. Not so with tho poor,
howcver.-,rT?:thein it leaves a heritage
of biUer memories of their insiguiti
calico iii the world's space; of their
physitaVtyA^ incnlalsuilcriug.s; of tho
hearth ssnes:jrof those whom tho world
has favored; of an existence akin to
death>weff days uselessly spent in pull
ing h\\\4l tigstinst the stream. Hence
our injuijctioii?Don't look back ! It
will only imbilter tho ftilitro, and
make the. poisoned chalice, which it
lias in .store for iholips of many, on'y
the hardg^vtotpljail'.
These thoughts were suggCoLoU to
in, by a conversation wo ovei heard the
other day' oelWeen a gentleman of this
placo ntrtl* the keeper"of tho County
Poor House. An inmate of that
Instit ution had requested the gentle
man referred to, io sco the keeper, and
enquire whether or not ho would per
mit him to. bo carried homo to his
mother; that although she was tis poor

Important Mooting in Charleston.
A largo meeting was held at the
Hibornian Hall, in tho city of .Char
leston, on Tuesday, night last, for the
purpose of passing Togolutions sustain
ing Gov. Chamhorlain; and?to com
mend 'him for refusing to commission
Wj J. Whipper and F. j. Moses Jr!
Goo. W. Williams was elected
President, with' thirty-seven Vice
Presidents. Wo. shall do no more
than givo a brief synopsis of what was'
said and done; The many unfortu
nate sentiments which found express
ion on that night will he weighed
carefully by the country, and passed
upon by the people.
Col. Rutledgo thought that in the
the election of Moses and Whipper
a 'fblbw has been aimed at the very
centre of our civilization," and that
"our honor has been trampled into
the very dust." Gob'. Jus. Connor
said, in connection with the same sub
ject, '.'There are two courses open:
Ahjoctp submission to this and the
worms yet to conifv.-or n'linn, deter
mined resistance.' ? * /*' ' Thyre.musi:
he 'otgarH^aticfn,' complete, over the
whole State, to- sweep.-.from power
those who jhftvc betrayed the trust
which jvas Collided to thorn. Secure
the (nest) election and the rest will
follow." The General then submitted
a platform which pledges the .support
of Charleston to Governor Chamber
laiu, nnd requesting him not to
::wcrvo from his purpoao to ro
I'uso to commission Moses and Whip
per, and calliug for a thorough re
organization of tho Democratic parly.
Tho platform was seconededby
several gentlemen. Mr. Smytho said
"In my humble opini >ii tho lime for
reconciliation in jiasi," while Maj.Siog
lingithought that such. an outrage
Vmwit bti vigorously mei und Jinnly prc
\vetife\l."
J)ul tho most remarkable RpcCch j
that was made by those who sccotidod |
tho platform was that which en the
from the lipa of Col. 1'resaley. Jn
our opinion it would have been better
for him and the State if he had re
mained away from Hibernian Hall
on Tuesday night last. For,,. while .
Gov. Chamberlain is anxious to. puri
fy tho Government, and . make hor
Judiciary above reproach,'wo do not
thiuk that ho will approve of such
intemperate expressions its'make hp
Mr. Prcssley's speech. Among other
things which tiro credited to tlial
gentleman, wo Cud these words:
".South Carolina bus always been
opposed lo Lynch law. * But 1
will not undertake to say, in our sore
noccsBtty, what wc \youldiha.Y.Q.doue,
when it camo to the altonm^ivo of no
daw' or Lynch law." Further on, the
same.! speaher get^^'armo^'jip" and
! says fit this .Legislature without that
United States flag floating x>von, thotn,
attempt to impeach Gov.>Chamber
lain?well! / icou'du't ULe Jo leihe
insurance agent thai held policies on
their V.ves/" "I thought wc had taken
enough already before Whipper and
Moses woro elected Judges. The
time has come for action."
Major Barker was the last speaker
and seemed lo havo understood the
situation better than any of those
who preceded him. 1 le said that lie
was "loath to participate in public
meetings, which under the influence
of popular excitement, indulge in ex
pressions which arc not to be redeem
ed in action."
The meeting was very large, and
enthuisnslic in ita support of Gov.
Chamberlain; but, in our opinion,
many things that found expre '.ion
there that night, will have it bad elliicl
at the North, und arc hot in conso
nance with the Republican record- of
pnr Chief .Magistrate.
A dispatch to the Nc'/ca anil Courier
from Columbia, under dale 80th ult.,
stales that Alloncy-Gcneral Melton
contemplates resign tug iVoui the At
Idrnoy-Gctieralship, und that Judge
Carpenter is likely to succeed hhni
The actuating motive with Mr Mel toil
has hot yet transpired, hut wo sup
pose it is a good otic. The. .Stale's
loss will bo great in his retirement
from tho position which he .so long and
faithfully lilied. Ho is one of the
truest and ablest men in the State, and
litis a place in the heart of every lover
of good government.

As n warning to tbb pcoplo of this
vicinity, I theught it righkaud pro
per to give publicity through your
paper of what took place hero within
tho hist few days. On last Saturday
night about 9 o'clock, whilo ray sons
and mysolf wore at my storo about two
hundred yards from my d^elling,rI
heard diltre^ingBcrbaniefl'of my rfife';
and running to her assistance, found,
as i fiV?" "V?as engaged In writing,some
letters with three lamps burning, a
black villain rushed into the room
and mndc an attempt to prevent her
giving alarm, but failed, as she ilew
out in the pnssago way and gave the
alarm. Ho spied a small trunkuudcr
tho bed and ran off leaving'hiii stick.
Tho trunk contained the clothing
of my little boy. And on this morn
ing (Wednesday) a still more daring
act was perpetrated. One of ray sons,
uot quite fifteen years old, started for
Orangeburg; and when not inoro than
three huudrcd yards from homo, a
villain, who was concealed behind a
pine tree, immediately on the road,
sprang oat and caught the bridle, aud
raising a large stick told the child to
give up his money or he would kill
him. Tho child consented togivctbc
money if he would not strike him, and
would take his stick from o>cr him.
Tbc 1 itlle follow had a good piatol, but
it was iu his left pocket. He put his
hand iu his pod;et, cocked his pistol
softly, passed it behind his back,
caught with his right hand and pre
sented it, intending to fire at that ins
tant, but toe mule on which he was
mounted jumped nnd the villain
cried, don'L shoot. Tho little fellow
fired and the villain was seen to
stumble as ho ran r.spidly away. It
is hoped that he is wounded.
