tramp of the different militia companies,

January 4, 1871

N- E.,.tor-Ch ris.,.as std N-i;
Years holidays are passed and with
them we have buried the old and born a
new epoch In our history as a people, for
every ensuing year is and will hereafter
be inaugurated by the celebration of
that day, which has made US, as a Ma
ton the foremost champion OF human
liberty among the civilized world. The
emancipation of slavery, wagcd by n
necessity of war at first, turned out to
be the foundation Of a new political odi-
fice erected as it is upon the basis of an
equal political right of all races, and
color, giving the black man a 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
cesds in making that day one of rcjoic-
ings and thanksgiving. The colored
population Of Charlesto.. were bound not
to be behind time in taese festivities :
They turned out with will, men women
and children, clad in their holiday attire,
aud whosocver studied tho faces seen in
the streets, could not fail to observe, the
expression OF JOY and happiness, that
marked every dusky countenancc and
gave evidence, how kcenly they all felt,
that this was their especial day Of joy.

Usaryy Laws.

Perhaps no Bill was ever introduced
in the Legislature of cur State, which
was not of u political nature, that clici-
ted tho general condemnation OF almos,
the ent;ro press to such just extent,
as tho Usury Bill recently introduced
by Mr. Wilkes. We have maintained
a 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
and our people; and especially that por-
tion Of them which the revival of this
dcletcrious aud exploded system will i'm
jnre mostly-the merchant and tie farm.
er-precludes the possibility of the be-
lief on onr part that they could be in-
duced to give their sanction to any such
absolcte idea. Mr.. Wilkes, we have no
doubt, is conscientious in his cspousal
of this cause We do not irnpu.n his
motives. But this We know; be his
motives what they may, he is seeking to
establish Law to work to the injury of
the very ene., when. IL lis heart heart ii u.
sircs to benefit. And we ask him to
think well before he attempts to prose,
cute his Bill further. Legislators should
consider the Interests Of the whole State
in making laws, aud not those of one
man or one County. Surely then, If
Mr.. Wilkes will do this (aud ,rc are,
unwilling to tEiuk that he will not) the
Bill to rc-establish the usury LAWS of
South Carolina, will Give no more At
tcntion from him. We ask Can the
present General Assembly, to net out
their promises made during the cam
paige, send out an cdict, under the
broad seal Of legislation, lcgalized and
fixed as law, W h ich will ei
fcc.ually injurc and cripple the com
mcrcc of our State! That will dcprc-
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
lesion Neus has nobly fought and
championed this subject, bringing as it
did invincible arguments against the
system May it, in its earnest solici-
tude for tho welfare of our people, reap
the reward of labors, and have cause
orc long to rcjolce with us at the re
explosion of so rctrogressvn an idea
