It i f* a little amusing to road the furious comments of iho Northern press on the."Kill or 'Jure" policy of the Nats anil Courier in recommend ing the passage by the Legislature oi a Registration law with an edttca tionnl qualification. We have made no comments on the viuws of the IScivsand Com a'i n this score, and make none now, but these extracts from Northern newspapers are singularly funny. Republican Massachusetts and Connecticut can, with impunity, pass a law I'm bidding any one to vote who cannot ".cad the Constitution and write his name;" but the slightest proposition in South Carolina to purify her election laws raises a furor of excitement, among these saints. AVe call attention of'tha immaculate*, however, to the met that the Legis lature of Democratic .South Carolina has refused to do what Republican Massachusetts has done, viz: to de ]oivc all of the privilege of voting who caii'1 read end w?te. Mark weil that this is what Northern Stales have done and what South Carolina refuses to do. And now, RS these papers have been so zealous in pub lishing as a foregone conclusion that the Democratic Legislature of South Carolina would adopt the Ne?t\s and Cturivr policy, and pass an education al qualification, we would be glad il the y wi u'd he ar- prompt in correct ing their conclusions, und publishing the fact that the Democrats in South | Carolina have refused to pass any bill that will i est riet the soll rage. A <nOG<l .'>:;;:? One of Lite best signs of th e time is the general iudilT erence t. politic-;, ife do not mean by 1 hi.-> to approve an entire unconcern in the govern ment of the country on the par! of the citizens, for such nn indifference to public affairs would be dangerous to liberty. When good men fro at the Jove of case, or distaste for politics, leave the country to office-seekers, great barm is done. It is only by vigilance that < ur liberties arc secur ed. 'J here is a golden mean in all things. Either too much zeal or too much indifference is dangerous. The unhealthy stale of politics is when men arc attracted by the love of office to the extent of turning their minds from busiucss and converting them selves into politicians. The healthy slate is when there are no politicians. AY lien business has greater attractions sfban office, and when all are engaged in material advancement. Such fortunately seems to In- the tendency of the times. Not many yeiri back, under Radical rule, every court house was throngod with professional poli ticians. Mow all that are out of the Penitcutiary uro at some kind of work. There is no n.oic (hauet- for steal ing. \N hntevcr may bo said <d Democratic government by its em: mks, this is its redeeming quality, it has stni the thieve- to their hiding place?, and every body is Irring to make an honest iiviiiL'. ItlixU'i'tif ion. Moderation is the certain result id wisdom. Extremes on any subject will lend to error. The moru the mind expands, I ho more moderate vvc become in our views. When men arc possessed of but one idea, they arc sure to run to extremes, but when they are able to examine into things for themselves, and view the i in different light- they arc I i hern I in their views, and Iibent' t ?war I-. those who think diHerenlly from them selves, fhe ii)ore experience we got the more loth we arc loju Ige hastily. We are willing tu accord toothers the possibility of being light as we 1 as ourselves, lligotry in religi ?u and the partisanship in p di:ic> are ill way * the offspring of unenlightened ihiudi.

Tho hard earnings of widows and orphans havo been lost by tho intlucnee of their names, and while the former uro in poverty, the latter are enjoying their ease and honors.

V, 91. Kennedy. The death of this distinguished divine of the Methodist Church wi'l be a so* ere blow, not only to the denomination of which he *?.".s a member, but to the State at large. He was a minister of culture, eloqu ence and earnestness, and was univer sally beloved on account wd his ex cellent qualities of heart and head. For many years he was editor of the ?V<????/.'/"/?// Christian Aiicu <?'<? which he controlled with marked ability un til failing health compelled his with drawal, and his chair was resigned to Rev. S A, Weber, who is now ably carrying on his noble work.

S'raud and Km Cure. The following sentiment taken from a recent letter ol Hon. 1>. H. Mill, of Georgia, contains a deal of truth: "The people must cud the triumphs of hand, or fraud will end the liber lies of the people, and thai, too, at no distant day.'' Vic has struck the I matter al I he core. The faul 1 for the Iruud and corruption by which we are curstd lies with tho people. 1'hey have the power, and it is a poor ex ( iihe to prate about political trickciy. Ii the people would rise to their duty the remedy would bo certain. They are too iudilferent to their rights, and arc too willing to 'allow others to think for them, instead of thinking and acting lor themselves. Imlencitdeul Talk. The Ncirs mil Courier commenting upon the refusal of the Legislature to adopt its suggestion in reference to the passage of a Registration law, with an educational qualification, uses the following emphatic language : "The election ol 1800 can b.? bridged over. There will he no break in the I in iy lines. Alter that the pro.-pects ol the Democratic party will be mi plea.-aii'ly blue, if the Leg is I a inc. through cither thoughtlessne.ssj iguo ranee or timidity, continue to ignore the cry for cleanliness in political cauvas-.cs mid purity nt elections."

[Ctiitor ' ntmji hurij Times : It is the province of the citizen to criticize publio servants, und I wish to call attention to some of the omis sions of our legislators. i irst and foremost, they have neg lceud to pass a Registration law. It is hard to understand the reasi/u for ibis omission, if honest elections are desired. Second, they have neglected or refused to pass the hill by which graded schools could bo established in tho cities and towns. The pcoplo want education, and we aro surprised at the refusal of our servants to ad vance our eau:<e in this direction. Third, they h ive token no step.} to encourage immigration into our' lute, a though two years of Democratic rule has passed. This is an umis.-iou which the Democratic party and th:> State may ysl ['cel. W o need the building up ol our material welfare. and the purification of our politics, and this is the way to do i*.
