"~ A Happy Wew Year. We send our greetings to iho ninny readers ol the TlMKS in this first issue of 1880, and wish one and all "a happy New Year." It is well at tho end of the old year to lake our reckoning for the past, and in the. beginning of the new to re-dedicate out selves to the duties of life, and to resolve, with help from above, that we will become better men and women. If, in reviewing the past, we are not satisfied with our progress, it is useless to despond. True worth th is not consist in never fulling, but in rising every time We fall. Adversity is good for us. 1; makes men ami w< men of us. The man whose life has been a never on I ing stream of prosperity, is never worth anything. As the furnace [> I rifies the gold, so adversity strength ens and exalts human character. Lie who has felt ti e arrows of outrageous fortune, aud who makes his br ad by hi? brawny arm, is the true man, an l not the child of fortune, reposing in his purple elegance and consuming what Others have made for him. If in our journey we sometimes flip backward, we must press forward the harder. But it is not our material progress that should engage our best resolutions. It is our advancement in those things that make us bolter men and better citizens. We must endeav r niorj to relieve the wants of tho poor, and to soften the pillow of.the afllicted; tu excrciao a nioic exalted spirit of charity and tob ration toward those who difler with us; to forgive those who injure us, and to feel a tricater sense of our humility. If at the cud of the yea r we can feel that we have advanced in such things, it will indeed prove to us "a happy New Year." An Outrageous Shame. The report of Col. Lipscomb, Su perintendent of the Renitcntiary, re veals a nio.-t horrible state of things in relation In the convicts hired lo the Greenwood & Augusta Railroad Company hist August.. Hearing of their ill treatment, Col. Lipscomb und Dr. Trezcvant both wen* to the spot to inspect for themselves, and returned fully corrol orating the truth of the rumors- The pens of the con victs were ofli nsivcly unclean, anil there was no comfort whatever for the inmates. The sick were ::ot attended , and general suffering prevailed to such an extent that out of 2s? con victs assigned to this road, 11 1 died. Such is the reputed cruelty of one Cnpt. Cahill that these are grounds for his indictment for manslaughter or murder. The good name of ihn .State de innnds not only a most searching investigation, but a just and decided punishment of the heartless perpe trators of such clinics. Let no such nets be tolerated under the eye of the State. Why These Immunities? The Committee on Frauds have mode their report, by which it will !?? seen that a long list of Radical light s, including ex Governors, ex Senalois and ex Representatives, who pblll dcred the Stale during the fat diiAsof RndioaU.-m, lave been graute.I im inuni.ics from their crim -s. The agreements, howevi r, by which thet got free, have not been made known to the public. The AV\\\< </?</ (Jouciei Bays "there need not he any further reticence, and the winde truth ought to come out." A bridge ov< i lliu Tay lliver in Scotland fill in on Monday with a train carrying 800 people,all of w ho n perished, without a.-ingle ill vi vor to tell the story. A liic broke out in Rostotl Oil Sun day, destroying properly to the amount of a million of dollars. Orangeburg. /? very I til 1 and cheering statement of the material prospects of Orange burg fur 1880 appears in tin- Nnr. inn! ('??uric- trom the pen of "Quel quofois," the regular correspondent ol that paper at this place, from which we clip the following as encouraging New Years reading : "In liSTd the change for the better came. Taxes were reduced, lawless ness suppressed, peace was restored. In 1877 the prospects were better; larger crops were planted and har vested. Kighteeu hundred and seventy-eight, though a year of finan cial ruin at the North, found our far mere weathering tho s'.orni. Tie; past year, in its good crops, better prices, and less outlay for phosphates and provision-;, has set them, as a general thing, on firm groun I. I in iy safely say that the farmers of Or i ijgo burg are out of the woods. A. strong disposition is manifested to establish and en courage home industries, an 1, tinder the wise influence of their Grange and agricultural associations, they will nurse their savings for in vestments. The colored pc >plo are in many cases making money or a l ding to their farms. In this small town I know of thirty or more who own snug farms and are doing well. In a word, there is a vast change for the belter. Harmony exists; credit is easier; property has enhanced; im migrants are delighted; and the dark day of depression is exchange 1 for a bri.'ht greeting of lS"<f), when a sinniger pull will he made to add to the material wealth of our growing County. - ?* - > qn?. - Caesar's March. Ex President Grant passed through Columbia yesterday on a special train for Florida. The N<om anil (Courier's correspondent says : He was met at the depot by the Mayor o! the city, a majority of the City Council, three Northern and two .Southern holies, Collector Bruyton, Col. Tom Sulli van, a mail agent on the Greenville j Columbia Kail road, who served under Gr. nt during the war, and Mnj. Hurry Noah, a revenue oflicer. A crowd of negroes and a few young j white men Wtre at the depot, at* Uacted by curiosity more than any thing else. Mayor Stanley ami Judges Willard and Muckey met the Dictator at the cars, anil invited him to a co Hat inn prepared for him at one of t he hole's but Ctesar stammered out, "No, 1 think not. 1 shall have to yo on." Afler awhile the whistle blew, and the General was seen in the distance waving his hat to the curious and inongtel crowd of sight seers. The action ij the Mayor in ten dering to Giant the hospitalities of the town is generally disapproved. The Revolution i t Miiru. It seems that the Republican teaching of Returning Board trick cry in coming back upon that party. Gov. Garcelon of Maine, in accord ance with law and the constitution, has sustained the Returning Board who have Co a tiled our. the B-pubi c.in majorities and counted in the Democrats. The consequence is that the Bepublicans are up in rehel'iun< and the Govjrhor is hound to main mine ihe law through lite State mili tia. The upshot is a little revolutio n wl.it h we hope w ill open the eyes of the North to what we have to bear down South without revolution. An Expensive Blunder. The engrossing Clerk in copying the Supply Bill put down the State tax at -I i iuslcadol'4-J as intended The consequence i-, unless it i.s changed by the Legislature, the p. ople w ill have 1 of a mill more to pay.
