SINGULAR CAREER OF YOUNO WOMAN. -
A young woman, age 81, beautiful, mar
ried, said to be tho child Of wealthy
father, was sentenced, few days since, in
tho Court OF General Sessions in the city
Of Now York. for the crime of grand lar
cony. Her father simply requested tho

the Court did by sending her TO the
State Prison. She has been tloro NEE

cided TINT she was not insane, but simply
''vicious." Ono more fact completes the

from her eyes, presenting pitiablo spec

The New York Times says:

The Columbia Is. C.) PHGSrx still
chngs to the old Democracy, bat it does
not applaud the action ofs4he Democrats
In Virginia and Tennesse. There, It
Gays, it was the Democracy stopping to
oOnquer--a pay'- for time and not for
eterlitJ-a party formed Co win victory
and not to hold citadel.
The Times makes two mistakes in rs
many lines. Our Democracy is rather
young than old, and we have expressed
no disapproval of the course adopted in
Virginia and Tennessee. As to point
No. 2, we are disposed to let Virginians
decide what is best for Virginia. If in
the spirit of their own Stonewall Jack
son they deem it wise to make flank
movement, we know very we'll where the
Virginian column will be found when
the fight is made between radicalism and
anti-radicalism. AS to point No. 1, we
have this to say: We hold that the De-
mocratic theory of the Government is
right. We believe earnestly in tho SUI
periority and permancnce of Democratic
institutions. AS the Baltimore ,Smu says,
whether they aA the best or not, they
are the only institutions practicable in
this country. A Apinchbeck monarchy or
brummngem aristocracy will scarcely
flourish on American soil, and we have
neither the materials nor the traditions
out Of which tc construct any other.
The form Of government remaining sub
stantially the same, it follows that the
principles which undcrlie its constitution,
and which should govern its administra-
tion, must also continue unchanged.
The questions requiring the application
Of those principles will vary from gene
ration to generation, and from year to
year These are the issues uf the day
and the hour. To confound principles
with issues is fatal mistake. In adher-
ing inflexibly to principles, but only ad-
dressing itself to those issues which are
real and tangible, aud have living and
present value, lies the vitality of party" "
This now expresses our idea The
principles of the Democratic party,
rightly understood, however old, are us
sound as ever. But to make the party
instinct with life and energy, it must
apply those principles to tho living,
practical questions of the hour, mot
clinging to old issues or hugging dead
idols"

"Where is Drake s. r. 1860 X?" We
have heard this question asked many
times, and for oil we know for a year past
he might be dead. Recently, in New
York, We called at his Laboratory in
Liberty street, and there found this gen
tleman barricaded behind q tremendous
pile of boxes, distributing funds to O
Sunday School Committee. Our busi-
ness was to secure an advertisement. He
said: "My dear sir, what is the use of
advertising the Plantation Bitters? They
sell better now than when I advertised

TO satisfy the press, however, who have
always been my friends, think I will

and it may be we'll to have you let the
people know it," And 80 he ran on in
happy, cordial, appreciative manner,
showing us the wonders of his place and
the cords of certificates. Everything is
on magnificent scale, and is done with
neatness and promptness. While there
we saw ut least forty orders come in for
these celebrated Bitters. Cases were be-
ing shipped to the four corners of the

Speaking of the business prospects Of
Charleston, the Courier says:
In the exercise of this duty, it is q
cause of great satisfaction that we can
give, unhesitatingly, the note of cheer
and encouragement to all who are inte-
rested in tho advancing fortunes of our
cherished metropolis. Our difficulties,
legion i'll number, and formidable in
array as they have been, have given away
under the energy, forttude and spirit of
work, which have SO signally pervaded
our people. The season just past, has,
to the agriculturalist, been one of most
stimulating augury. Good prices in the
year just closed, and an added manifesto
ton of the inherent strength of our
great staple, in the season now before lis,
all bid him onward in the hearty pur-
suit of his favoritc culture. The incrcas-
ing strength of our financial status, the
cheering condition, comparatively, in
which many of our banks, heretofore

selves to be the renewal of our bust
ness relations with many of our impor-
tant ante -bellum connections, the estab-
lishment and energetic development of
many new branches of industrial pursuits,
as instanced in our phosphate companies
the lifting up into something of its
former magnitude, of our great jobbing
business, as instanced in the activity of
Hayne, East Bay and Meeting streets
and the general determination of our
business people, and capitalists, to re-
move every obstruction to, and to afford
every facility for, making Charleston eli

A member of the State Constabulary
is represented rs writing to his chief
from Lexington thus:
II believe n regular systematic attempt
will be made to defraud the freedmen in
Lexington this year, of their share of the
crops. Many of the latter neglected to
have written contracts, and are being
driven off the plantations, and refused
any remuneration for their labor"

Impersonality in Journa,,.m.

The World and the Times, of New
York, are discussing @ question of news.
paper etiquette. The World ohanced to
allude TO Mr.. Bigelow, as editor of the
Times, whereupon the Times calls the
World to order for violating the imper.
sonality of journalism. Both are right,
and yet both are wrong.
The most rigid impersonality should
be exacted Of writer's using the word
"we," which is plural as well as imper-
sonal. 1t does not refer to the editor or
the writer, but to the audience, great or
small, which the paper is supposed to
represent. Hence its impressiveness
II it referred to only one man, and we're
even simply modest way of saying "I, "
it would be no better than the first per-
son singular.
In other respects newspaper writer's
anu editors are as other men, and should
be SO treated by the newspapers to which
they belong and the press at large. If
they make speeches, or write books, or
run for Office the same rule should be
applied to them by their colleagues as
they themselves would apply to lawyers
and doctors who make speeches, write
books and run for office. In word.
that is impersonal which blends the
journalist with the people, giving him
neither more nor less than his distinctive
merits entitle him to receive at the
hands OF that power which represents
not the pecnliaritics Of one person, but
the opinions and sentiments of great
masses. Otherwise the press would be
sort OF intellectual monastery for the
reception of unaspiring literary and po-
litical genius; or else it would impose on
its threshold such disadvantage, re-
qniring total ignoring of individual
identity on the part of its followers, that
no man of ambition, which is generally
found allied to capacity, would volunta-
rily enter it.
Nor could this rule be made to work
very we'll. There is no reason WHY n
mans connection with the press should
impair his talents for oratory, for poetry,
for music, Cor political business. On the
contrary, there is tendency in newspa-
per work to develop mans genius
whatever it may happen to be. He is
accordingly very sure to find occasion to
appear III his own person. In doing so,
he does not appear as an editor, but as a
speaker, or poet, or politician, or COM
poser, using his proper style and title
and discarding, of course the profes-
sional eve"
That which thorough journalism de-
mands of its servants is that they shall
not mix up their private transactions
with its concerns. In like manner, So
ciety demands of them that they leave
their shop behind them when they go
abroad. They must stand on their own
merits. a fair practice of these simple
principles will save the public and the
press good deal of awkward confusion,
and not q little absurd misconccption.

EIcToR HuGo.-The Citizen umd Rounel
Table, Of New York, in notice of Vic
tor Hugo's new work, "The Man who
Laughs" says:
"rhe chief claim which the .listin-
guished author of "The Man who
Laughs makes in favor of his book is
that it affords faithful picture of Eng
lish society, from the highest to the low
est grade, i'll the time of Queen Anne.
GAS n picture of any phase of Eng
lish life, at any period of English history,
''The Man who Langhs" is not only va
lueless, but it is the maddest, absurdest
caricature that can be found in litera-
ture. An historical novel that has no
value either as novel or as history, it is
scarcely worthy of the reputation or
genius of Victor Hugo.
"Its real worth is in the powerful de-
scription of the storm st sea and on the
land, with which the first book is chiefly
occupied, and in the countless brilliant
paragraphs with which the book is filled.
M. Hugo's style is often marred in the
estimation of his English readers by en-
exaggerated love of antithesis and an ex-
travagant intensity of thought and ex-
preston. Yet the book is a wonderful
one. The author is either the greatest
genius or the sublimest madman that
French literature can boast"
