GOV. AIKEN AND MIR. BANKS.

In our last issue We copied strong article from the
Columbia Times, upon the course OF Gov. AIKEN III
making motion, complimentary to Speaker BANKS,
at the close Of the late session of Congress 1t may
be tha8fKc ex-governor WIS prompted by motives OF
chivulry and politcsse in this singular act; because
he il las we lcarn good hearted and well-disposcd
man. But it was ce.tuinly totally uncae'l-for step;
and now thut it has boen mooed before the public the
duty devolves upon the press of South Carolina 70
express what cuch member Of regards az the feeling
of the State in regard to the matter Soar as we have
heard most persons concur in condcmning the net as
out Of place. out Of taste and out Of keeping with
everything known or recognized US political propriey
within the State of South Carolina Some say they
are not disposed to think hnrshy OF it than ~
m udcreton weak in itself but not to be canvnssed
seriously when coming from man OF Mr.. AIKESs
calibrc Others appear to regard it az bid OF that
honorable gentleman for popularity in certain Federal
councils. But We confess can only consider 1t in
the light of gross Misrepresentation OF South Caro-
linn and South Carolina sentiment Mr. jBAsKs ls
known to be the head and front Of the Massachusetts

most bitter enemies at the North. He is the lndeati-
gable agent of party which is utterly ininical to
almost all we hold dear in South Carolina lie ID the

assault upon South Carolinn and Senator BUTLER lie

time be a gentleman as the phrase goes; and Mr.
AIKEN may have deemed tho occasion, which he SO
eagerly grasped, fit one to play of his own private
notions Of gentemanly courtesy. Butwe maintain ne

the country in the cgregously ffsc attitude Of honey
Juggling Black Republicanism in manner at once

course ss being rcpugnan to the wishes and tastcs Of
his entire State.

The metropolis of Ireland contains an c1traor'
dinary subterranean. curiosity: a burlal-place,
which, from the chemical properties OF the soil,
acts with certain cmbalmins influence upon the
bodies deposited within it.
speak of the vaults beneath st Mlchan's
Church, Dublin, where those who have the firm
ness to 90 down and look death in the face, will
find an instructive commentary upon the doctrines
of moral humiliation that arc periodically preached
above.
You descend by few steps into long and mar
row passae that runs across the site of the Church,
unon each side there are excavated and ample recess
ses in which the dead arc deposited. There IS
nothing offensive in the atmosphere to deter you
from entering. The first thing that strikes you' is
to find that decay has been more busy with the
tenement than with the tenant In some instances
the coftins have altogether disappearcd in others
the lids or sides have mouldeicd away, exposing
the remains within, still unsubducd by death from
their original form. LIZA.
