CHARLESTON, S, c.,
January 4. 1871.

Mr. Eaitor-- Christmas and New
Years holidays are passed, and with
them We have buried the old and born
new epoch In our history as people, for
every ensuing year is and will hereafter
be inaugurated by the celebration of
that day, which has made us, as a Ma
tion the foremost champion OF human
liberty among the civilized world. The
emancipation of slavery, waged by n
necessity of war at first, turned out to
be the foundation Of a now political odi-
fee erected as it is upon the basis of an
equal political right of all races, and
color, giving the black man copartncr-
ship in the management of this great
country with the whites. 1t is therefore
to be wondered at, if the race so vitally
interested by that change, tries and sue
cosds in making that day one of rcjoic-
ings and thanksgiving. The colored
population Of Charlesto.i were bound not
to be behind time in taese festivities :
They turned out with will, men women
and children, clad in their holiday attire,
and whosoever studied the faces seen in
the streets, could not fail to observe, the
expression ofjoy and happiness, that
marked every dusky countenancc and
gave evidence, how keenly they all felt,
that this was their especial day Of joy.

Usury Laws.

Perhaps ne Bill was ever introduced
in the Legislature OF our State, which
waa not of . political nature, that clici-
tod tho general condemnation of almos,
the entirc press to such just extent,
as tho Usury Bill recently introduced
by Mr.. Wilkes. We have maintained
strict silence on this question up to the
present time. The confidence VIC have
in the interest which our Legislators
should have and feel for our prosperity
aud our people; and especially that por-
tion Of them which the revival Of this
deletcrious aud exploded system will n-
jure mostly-the merchant and the farm
er-precludcs the possibility of the be-
lief on onr part that they coald be in-
duced to give their sanction TO any such
absolcte idea. Mr. Wilkes, we have no
doubt, is conscientious in his espousal
OF this cause We do not impugn his
motires. But this We know; be his
motives what they may, he is seeking to
establish Law to work to the injury of
the very ones, whom in his heart he d..
sircs to benefit. And we ask him TO
think well before he attempts to prosc-
cute his Bill further Legislators should
consider the Interests Of the whoc State
in making laws, aud not those of one
man or one County. Surely then, if
Mr. Wilkes will do this (gndi Vc are
unwilling to tEiuk that he will not) the
Bill to rc-cstablish the usury laws of
South Carolina, will receive no more at
tention from him We ask Can the
present General Assembly, to -act out
their promises made during the com
paige, send out an cdict, under the
broad seal of legislation, leg1lizcd and
fixed as law, " h ich will et
fcctually injurc and cripple the COM
mcrcc of our Statcs That will dcpre-
ciate and ruin the credit of the farmer !;
that will dcbar our merchants from max
ing advances to the poor and dependent;
that will not only deter capital from
flowing into our State. but frighten the
little that is here from our midst and
make our march instead of progress
sian one Of rctrogression The Char
leston Ne,es has nobly fought and
championed this subject, bringing as it
did invincible arguments against the
system. May it, in its earnest so!ici-
tude for tho welfare" of our people, reap
the reward of It's labors, and have cause
orc long to rejoice with us at the re-
explosion of so rctrogressivo an idea.
