X. er.: THE NEWS AND REIALD. WINNSBORO, S, C. TUESDAY, January 4, f t I g8 Y. 't.AN8 7.1 Is, Eimon. .-W- 5. EI-NIoLDnS. AMSOIAT sorrOn. H ENRv WAHo B.:-:cm preaclled a powerful 501111011 ugalaist the Attempted disi'ach11011wisemnjt of t he Hebrew race by Bismarek, and in returni a corre spondeist of th New York Herald, signing hiiself "lebrew," advocates C the election of Iheccico- a United States Senator i-toini Ne'V Yrk. Not a bad suggestion. Beecher is decidedly better fitted to 1ill the role of Senator thai of parson. .ighteen Hundred and Eirhty-One. The new year oponed very unprom isingly with the mercury hiddeni out of sight on the bot tom of the thier m unometer, snow and sleet coveilng everythling, and no wood to be had. It Is an old superaltion that the first twelve days after iChristmiaas are har bingers of the twelve niontlis that are to follow. If this be trite it would be -well to imake preparations for the end of the world as prophesied by Mother' Shiptont. Fortutjely this weatler cannot last always, and as Mother Shiptonl has been proved a id, we advise our readers to pluck ill) courage and make arrangements for tile coming year. All financial and business mnon agree in the opinioll that the United States is liore prosperouls right. no1w thani it has ever been belore. Large crops of all our staple Products have been lals ed, and the world supplies a market for our surplis. New enterprises in railroads and factories ale pushing alhead with greater activity than crer before knowin, and all sorts of invest ments have appreciated ill valule. The t.idal wave of prosperity has not st ruck the South with anly great force as yet, and no on1e dowi here need expect; to be overwhelmited with sudden Fortune; but we are improving, anf0d 01o pro gress is 110t specuilativ bu real. The taxable property of Sout i Carolinai has incereased tell or fIlteell iillionsp dlurinlg tile plist year, an11d if tile Seasons a"Lre propitious nIext thll will show a still further increase. While there is good reason for hope, there is neveriteless great need of caution and circmispecet ion. leit prosperity is gailed only inhti by illch, and by lithe steady accinlationI of small pat icles. Prudence, eciomy and careful saving are essential to sucess. 'I'he great activity of the Fhl and winter of 1879 arose from the care exercised inl the beginning of the year, wheln no on1e anticipated the business boom. The present winter does not show as gratifyiing progress, because of too m 1uch spoculition, and too gireat ConfIldencee ill the sprilng, giving rise to more prodigal expenditure. With this experienlce we hope that next wIter will again put us a good step forward. Anlothler gr'atifying circumlstanlce is that thiere atre 110 electionts this fall to disturb business. Polities cuan he laid aside for a while, and1( exclusive atten-. tioni paid to pr1ivate aliuirs. Let every onle, then, seize0 the. occas5ion1,!and worik manfully for tihe achtievemlentt of pi v'ate anid pullic plrosperity. Sentimentalism versus Soldiers. General Schiofilids removal from commandlllq of WVest Point causes coni 5ihierable discussion inl armyl~ circles. Thou(11gh ostenisibiy metrely tranlsferred to theO Departlmenlt of tile Gulf, it is gen1 cral1ly understood thlat h10 has1 been rebuked for oflbuding staulwuart senti mlenit. first by3 tile tihiding of thle court martiall, of which h~e was a member, favorinig Fitz John11 Porter, and( conise qjuently caistinig odiumi 011 Pope and M~c1)onald, whot were Iinstrumiental ill causinig Porter's dIismissal fr'om the army1, antd seconly by findinig aigainist Wrhittaker, and bluntly staltinlg thlat West Point is nlot tihe p)lace to teachI social equality. Genleral Schoficl evidently fears thiat thle futur pwo jliev of the gov'ernment towards West Point will be chalracterized, by a good deal of gulsh anid g~uamon). If it. is to be here after a "'primary school,'' lie wishes to hatve nothling to (10 with it. As to Whtittaker's case) lhe says: My,' own jud(gmenlt wasR thiat a court mlarlial was&i not, ne4cessarv; t hat then proceedin~gs already takeni were su1tli cient groundii for dismtissinar Mr. Whit . t aker, and1 1 so reommemfenjd.

General Scholeld talks like an old soldie: Who has.a-pilde in his profes slon. General Howard, who succeeds hli, is chiefly celebrated for swindling the colored people out of largo sums of moneythrough the Freedinen's Savings Biank. lie is a fit typo of the ladical philathiropist.
