"S?T?KI>AY\'Sl\n. 2i>~ 1*70. Columbia. AYc visited Cohiinbiti during the week, were we met ninny familiar lace?. The folks there were in the highest glee all day Tuesday over the pleasme (hey expected to enjoy that night at the Opera House, in the ap pearance of Booth.as Hamlet. Per Bens from all portions of the State came to sec the great tragedian, not one of whom whose luck it was to get a scat, went away dissatisfied. The performance commenced at 8 o'clock p. M., hut long before thai, time every scat in the p:ir<iuetlc and dress circle had its quota of human ilesh, and ere the curtain rose for the first act, the building was alive with hundreds whose anxious countenances showed that they would rather sec liobtbjj.linil to have a first class legislator's inte rest in the Big Bonanza bill. The performance was a grand suc cess. Booth, by hard study and elose application, lu.s made himself not only familiar with every word of his part, of this great drama of Shak- | spcarc, but seems also to understand I every thought, impulse, passion, and feeling that moved the hard of Avon in its composition. Ho embodies himself thoroughly with the charac ter of Hamlet, and makes the audi ence follow him in every word, look and gesture. It is really a rich treat to see him, supported as he is hy a Company both strong and intelligent 'Apart from the pleasure of seeing Booth, there was not much of any other sort at the Capitol. The Legislature was in session, and, as a matter of course, a first class farce was being enacted at the State House. But visitors did not seem to feel any special interest in procuring reserved seats in that building. There is not much business before that body, and if the men who make it up had any regard for the tax-pay- j ere, they would adjourn and go home. We had a glimpse of the "ins" and "outs" up there. Ex-Governor Scott struts about bigger now than he did while Governor. Barker if gone and he seems to feel that all is well with him now. The delectable Franklin J. Moses, Jr., now cronerously ycleped Judge, still stalks around his old haunts, but not with that same air which distinguished <him as asatisHcd vi Hi mi when Governor. He looks as though he may quit the bench?if he ever gets there?with as much disgust as Saucho Banza had for his Island before he had Governed there many days.* Dennis, N eagle, v.t id f/cHus omnCy are also loafing conveniently near the delightful places that used to know them. But one can sec that ? . thev 'seldom get their hands into the pockets of the tax-payers now-a-days. Sonio of them wear old clothes, and appear unable to buy a servic i ble tooth brush. Of course they may be playing the 'oposum. For ways that arc dark and tricks that are vain they arc very peculiar. J \ Money.is scarce in Columbia, trade V 5a dull, and many arc out of employ \nncnt. 1 ?.-?? . Hard to Please. The life of an editor is by no means the smoothest thing in the world. 'The chair-edit oral is not eushb ncd with roses. Where be frequently hopes to phase, he not uufrcqucutly raises lhcdovil, and brings down curses deep and ihre it j ion his unprotected bead. If he omits anything, he is hr/.y. If he. speaks of things as they are, people get angjfy:; ' If he glosses over or smooths down the rough points, he is bribed. If he calls things by proper names, he is unfit Jor (be position of editor, if he does not : urnish his readers with jokes, he is a mullet; if I.e. tines, he is a iallleliead, lacking liability, If be condemns wrong, lie is a good fellow, but lacks discretion. If he. IoUj Wrongs ami injuries go un mentioned, he is a coward, lfheex poses "a public man, he does it to gratify*"'spite? is the tool ofti clique, or belongs to the "outs." If he in dulges in personalities, he is a black guard; if ho does not his paper is dull und insipid. If ho prints au account of a BepubHenn meeting, the Democ rats .straightway look daggers at him. If ho ^flpqilah d? the Democracy, or any member of that party, instantly the Bepublicans raise a hue and cry find swear that he is a hyena, and means to devour every person declar ed free hy President Lincoln? It' he soys farmer Jones is n successful anil intelligent planier, lie is accused of being bribed with ft mess of turnips. If he .speaks a good word of this or that minister, il is because his sins arc winked at. If he says anything against pin-back dresses, the com munity swears that he is mad because all the girls have turned i heir backs on him. If he censures the custom of ladies wearing striped stockings, he is vulgar, and warned to look for locals elsewhere. No matter what he docs, he cannot please everybody. Here you will find Squire Bcllwcathcr who orders his paper stopped because he wants to live under a monarchical government, (but hasn't money enough to go to one), and, ergo, dis likes the News and Tim; s because it lias for its motto "God and our (this) country." Thero you will butt against Mr. Weasel-Sncezel, who is by nature antagonistic to ever}' news paper that is not made up entirely from .Josh Billings. Col. Ilard-to-Con vert, would like to take his Con nty journal, but will never do so until it promises to revive the Confederacy. And then there's a dozen or more who want to pay up und stop "dc paper," because, as they say "We don't like de ritt til dat you's a habit ob puttin' iu dare." Now, kind reader, is it possible for us to do all this. And, yet, be cause we cannot, the N. ws and Ti \\ es is not always acceptable. Who has the next complaint to make? Useless Legislation. Our Legislature is not the only one where filibustering and tinker ing over local and unimportant mat ters consume much valuable time, as witness the following from Put Walsh, one of the editors of the Augusta Chronicle und iSvntincl t who writes to his paper under date, 21st inst.j about the doings of the Georgia .Legislature, now in session. The Em pire State is all over Conservative : "In it any instances ellbrtsarc being made to lit particular cases and iu many others to make changes simply for the sake of doing something that had better be left undone. The num ber of local bills is enormous. In glancing over the proceedings of the Legislature the reader cannot fail to be struck with the triflirlgiusignifi cance of sonic of the measures intro duced. Here is a bill to change a county line to accommodate some man who wishes to have his residence or his place changed from one county into another; here is another bil' to allow somebody to jteddlc without a license; another to prevent fish traps in the waters tributary to Gum Swamp; another to prevent hunting in Sleepy Hollow; another for tho relief of the sureties of Mr. Smithy who has been unfortunate in handling the funds of this county. And still another^: To incorporate the lice Gum Refining Company." ?-m -? ?? -- "Darwin says that the male grass hoppers use their hind legs to fiddle, on the edge of their wings, and that the best fiddler always wins the affec tions of tho females first." We find the above sentence floating around. Our proposition is that wc all go to "fiddling.' '?? /tcxinytan I) iitpafch. Hut wc are not all grasshoppers, brother, and are, therefore, without ''hind legs!" There's where you have the advantage of many of your con temporaries. ???. * - ?
