Bishop of the Dioc ,so of South Carolina.

SEQUEsTRATIoN.-There was an erudite divine,
once upon time, in an adjoining State, famous
for ''darkening counsel" by the use of words of
learned length. On one occasion, when he was to
preach to congregation Of negroes for brother
minister, the latter feeling somewhat uneasy on
this score, says:
''Now, brother -, let me beg of you to be
as plain with these people as you possibly can
Otherwise they will not understand YOU" This
was before the days Of the bureau, and ere yet
school marms had begun to illuminate this be-
nighted land with the light OF their countenance
"Never fear" remarks the learned brother, srnll-
ing.
In the pulpit on Sunday afternoon, the visiting
clergyman addressed his sable audience not un-
mindful Of the caution he had received ''My
friends, the Apostle says, do not purloin but lest
you should not understand the meaning of the
word will make it plain for you. The Apostle
means, my friends, you must not seques:er." There
were large eyes and open mouths at this lucid ex-
PLANTATION, but there was no diminution Of stealing;
and this would appear to be the present difficulty In
regard to the transgression ofthe eighth command
ment. Our colored friends, for some reason or
other, seem to be ignorant OF the moral law, and
stealing, potty larceny more especially, is RAM
pant just now. In the exercise Of their calling
nothing comes miss everything from q frying
pan to bale oi cotton is liable to walk off at short
notice. The ideas Of DIetna and htana have become
very much confused, and the whole subject needs
overhauling. Will the Convention do it?

CHRISTMAS SIaNs-THE WAGON YARDs.-Coming
events are said to cast the shadows before them,
and the signs of the lines show plainly that
Christmas is not far d. slant. The various stores
have displayed their gala colors, and placed their
most tempting articles on exhibition, in anticipa-
ton of the trade which always comes into the
city at this time. The hotels show an increased
number of arrives, and the streets are crowded
with strange faces; but the places where the in
hux is most noticed are the wagon-yards in the
upper wards Of the city. These caravansaries are
crowded with wagons from all portions of the
State, that have brought to the city not only the
common staple, but produce Of various kinds,
skins, furs, 60. large trade is conducted by
these wagoners, whence their supplies are obtain
ed in exchange for cotton. Each wagon yard has,
in addition to its yard and stable, a store where
everything that is needed by the country visitor
can be obtained, and the owners Of these yards
c conduct lucrative business by bartering with
their customers. Many OF these parties have, for
years, been in the habit OF visiting the city,
in their wagons and could not be induced to leave
the beaten road for the railway. They have lnva-
rably sold their cotton to certain store rekeepers,
and have no desire to change. This business,
though it may appear small, is one OF considera-
bic Importance 10 the city, and has caused the
rapid growth of the Neck. Stores have sprung up
along tue whole route, and though not OF the first
class, they are suited to the trade. There is a
brisk competition among the shop-keepers for the
country custom, especially at the present time.
The larger establishments frequently do busi-
ness that would be godsend to some of the more
pretending downtown stores, and an amount of
cotton changes hands that makes the section
valuable source OF supply to our cotton market.
Many OF the prominent factors of this city COM
menced their business by keeping wagon wards.
Before the days OF the railroad the trade was con-
Quoted on grand scale; but after that innovation,
the business clustered around the wharyes. Du-
ring the war Of 1872 many store-kcepers purchased
cotton at a very low rate, and the sudden Use in
the price after peace was declared was the founda-
ton of their subsequent commercial prosperity,

AN IMPORTANT FACT. The activity that is now
displayed in the different departments Of trade is
SIRE sign Of the advance Of Kris Kingle. Each
establishment is striving to Guido its neghbors by
offering to its customers rare inducements to in
vest 9heir Christmas money. The number of the
stores, and the variety Of their stocks renders it
necessary for them to present their claims for
patronage to the public, and none but those that
advertise can be certain that they have secured
this desired end. A glance at the columns OF
THE NEWS will ahoY our readers complete bus-
ness directory in which not only the name and
business Of the party are recorded, but an inven-
tory of their stock is furnished. There are at
present large number Of strangers in the city
whose sole object is the purchase Of their Christ
mas supplies. The few days between this and the
New Year are the harvest time for merchants, and
they should not hide their light under bushel.

ARIEL REFUrED.-The chronological doctrines
recently advanced by "Ariel" have attracted con-
siderable attention, and various efforts have been
made to refuto them but clincher was delivered
Yesterday by q darkey that exhausted the argu-
ment. In accordance with an invitation rendered
them, the Japanese visited the Christmas Tree
yesterday morning, and attracted universal atten-
ton by their strange dress and peculiar manners.
On leaving the hall they were closely scanned by
number of negroes, who viewed the Celestials with
q critics eye, and one Of the party thus unburden-
cd himself: 'If Ariel call de niger beast Won
der what he call desc. They heap more ike
beast than nigger,' and he stakes off fully salts
fed that he was man and brother. The Japs
have excited some curiosity among the negroes,
ard whenever they have appeared in the streets
have been followed by large crowds who hail them
as the Injuns, and pass amusing comments on
their general appearance.

GREAT SUCCESS OF THE WIDOWS HOME BAZAAR.

GREAT SUCCESS OF THE WIDOWS HOME BAZAAR.
The pelting rain last night did not prevent the
parlors of the Widows Home, on Broad-streot,
from being again throngod with pleasant COM
pany All the multitudincus attractions of the
opening night (little blonde widow included) wero
present, besides many new features OF decided in
terost. Among these latter perhaps tho most con-
spicuous was an elaborate hat rack formed OF
bucks antlers, supported upon a handsome
mahogany frame. In rafting this elegant piece
of furniture, the ladies have adopted the liberal
scheme of 'all prizes no blanks" The rack is
laden with presents for the happy chance-holders,
each present in itself being more than quid pro
quo for the chance-money. How they can afford
this generous mode of doing business passes our
comprehension.
The ladies of the Home request US to make their
Acknowledgements to the Southern Relief Associa-
ton Of Baltimore, and particularly to Miss How
ard, tie Secretary, and Mrs. Carr the Treasurer,
for the generous and timely aid they have hasten
ed to offer to their impoverished sisters of Charles
ton in the good work they have undertaken. The
zeal and sympathy which the fair Marylanders
have evinced is worthy OF tie fame of their chval-
rous and magnanimous State.
The Bazaar will be open this afternoon at two
o'clock, and continue throughout the evening.
Dinner as well as supper will be furnished by the
fairest of landmarks.

A Richmond correspondent of the New York
World writes as follows:
General Schofeld has informed member Of the
Virginia House OF Delegates that the Disqualified
ton to vote or hold Office does not apply under
the rec obstruction bill to persons who were forced
into the reoel service by consumption, notwith-
standing that they had taken IN oath to support
the Constitution OF the United States, and served
in any of the capacities enumerated in the pre-
scribed form OF oath. This will reduce the num-
Der Of persons disqualified to vote Of hold office to
confined altogether to those who volunteered In
the early part Of the war, few Of whom are now
living. The survivors are principally Of the con-
script class save perhaps o few officers who held
ranks from the beginning, and obtained their COM
missions by appointment.
The advantages thus secured will be more than
counterbalanced oy the active efforts Of the Radi
Gals to secure the negro vote, and the utter in
difference so far manifested by the conservatives
with regard to it. It is conceded now, by men
who have q good opportunity Of forming an esti-
mate. that Petersburg will 60 for the Radicals by
majority of 600, and Richmond by majority Of
1900. These results must of course be attributable
to the supineness of the Conservatives, for other
wise they could not occur in view Of the large pre-
poaderance Of white voters in both Cities
