The Land Ring Once More.

The substance of the last pronunciamento
of Senator and ex-Land Commissioner G. P.
Leslie is, that it is useless to ask the AdVi-
sorry Board about the operations Of the Land
Commission, because they have no records
and know nothing about that ugly business;
also, that the present Land Commissioner
cannot tell the horrid tale, because he, like
wise, is in the dark in regard to the past
transactions OF the Land concern. This is
a yery cool way of announcing that 500, 900
has been spent, and only Mr.. Leslie can
show where and how the money went. Mr..
Leslie will not tell what he knows unless he
is put on oath, and he is confident of being
able to clear his skirts-a declaration which
is not easily reconciled with the remark OF
the same senator that "we (the Radicals)
ssare all corrupt" How shocking is it,
moreover, for Radical senator to say de-
liberately on the floor Of the Senate that all
the dishonesty and rascality which disgrace
South Carolina are one of the effects Of a
Republican form of government. Folks who
abuse what they call ''this wicked world
are apt to forget that the world would be
good enough if there were no wicked people

and the power OF the horses are from eight TO ten
boxes nlled with twenty.rour pound shells; each
box holds but two, so that wagon contains but
sixteen or twenty. Assuming that when the
bombardment begins one thousand shots per
minute viii be fired, then, for one minute alone,
fifty wagons will be required to bring the necessa-
ry ammunition. This work would require two
days.
The fearful catastrophe on the Mississippi and
Tennessee Railroad, four miles below Memphis, by
which nine persons lost their lives and thirty were
more or less Injured. is fnly described In the Men,

| miles an hour and part OF it had crossed gully
on an iron bridge, when an axle Of the baggage
car broke, and the first passenger car, containing
over sixty negroes and three whites, was thrown
down the embanIment. The stoves were over
turne.l. and in an | slant the car was in flames.
The shrIeks Of the poor creatures In this furnace
were d1 adful, and, though every exertion was
| made seven OF the negroes perished In the flames.
In fifteen minutes the woodwork OF the car was
destroyed and the burning bodies exposed to
view VIM. White, an omnibus agent OF Men,
phis, was rescued, but so badly burned that both
| hands had to be amputated, and one eye was
burned from l,s socket. The next car in the rear,
| filled with passengers, was totally wrecked and
| lad named Davis seriously, If not fatally, wound
ed. The ladies' car, next in rear, was badly dam
aged, but no serious injuries occurred. One COL
ored woman taken to the hospital died soon after
from her burns, aud another is reported likely to

A Financial View Of the War.

A leading banker OF Germany writes to bis
correspondent in New York, under date OF
December 20, as follows:
ssThere seems to be no end yet to this Prus-
sian-French war, although the Germans begin
to get tired; but when it Is over think there
will be very large emigration of Germans to
America.
SIN Europe money is very abundant now,
because business in general is at an entire
stand-stlll, and moneycd men do not want to
invest their money; but when the war is over
there will be such demand for money that
the rate of discount will so considerably high
er. France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Russia,
and even Spain, all want money, and if Prus-
sla, while victorious, had to give lVeper
cent. loan at 92t, what viii others have to do
''The chances for America to sell.a four per
cent. loan at par, If ever there were any,
(Which doubt,) are over. Should, however,
the war with France last four or FIVE months
vet, think revolution will come in Europe; in
such case the capital of Earope will all fly to
America, and there Will be chance to issue a
loan at low rate Of interest. When such a
time does come, and I tell You confidently 1
am afraid it will come, then will be your coun-
try's financial opportunity"

TIE Orangeburg Ne,cs handles without
gloves the proposal to re-establish the old
Usury laws of the State. 1t holds that to
do so would efIectually ipjure and cripple
the commerce OF the State; that it would
depreciate and ruin the credit Of the farmer;
that it would debar our merchants from
making advances to the poor aud dependent;
that it would not only deter capital from
flowing into the State, but would frighteu
away the little that now fingers here. The
Neacs is kind enough to say in conclusion
"THE CHARLESTON News has nobly fought
"and championed this subject, bringing as
g it did invincible arguments against the
"system. May it, in its earnest solicitude
"for the welfare OF our people, reap the re-
ward of its labors, and have cause ere
"long to rejoice with US at the re-explosion
"of so retrogressive an idea."

The German Empire is Peace.

The address of the Reichstag OF the North
German Bund to King William, praying him
to consecrate the work of unifcation by ac'
cepting the Imperial Crown of Germany,
contains these pregnant phrases:
ssThe Teutonic Crown on the head of your
Majesty will inaugurate, for the re-establish.
ed Empire of the German nation, an era o.
poWer, Of peace, of a0eli-being, and Of liberty,
secured under the protection of the laws. .
United Germany has proved Itself mighty and
| victorious in war, under the leadership OF Its
supreme commander. Tie atnitel German En-
pire ,oiu be mighty and peace-loving under its
Emperor"
This is, undoubtedly, the desire OF the
German people. War, for the sake of war,
they never will countenance.. 1t is their
hope that the close Of the war with France
will be the beginning Of long era of abso-
lutte tranquility. They are not willing to
withdraw their armies to-day, with the GER
tainty that the work OF carnage must be
renewed two years or ten years hence The
war was begun for self-protection, and it
will be continued until Germany has guaran-
tees that she will be allowed to work out
her own destiny; to develop her own re-
sources; to increase her commerce and ele-
vate still further the mental and moral stand
ard of her people, withou. any medding or
interference on the part of France or any
other power.
The provisions Of the constitution of the
new German Confederation indicate that an
aggressive policy on the part OF Prussia is
not to be feared. That Power agrees that,
henceforth, the consent of the Council OF
the Confederation shall be requisite for O
declaration of war in the name OF the Con-
federation, except when an attack is made
upon the territory or coasts of the Confede-
ration. Thereby, the Crown Of Prussia has,
in part, given up its highest prerogative; /;
one which it possessed Of old, and which by
the North German Constitution it had to ex-
ercise for the Confederation. War, except
for strictly defensive purposes, Is not 10 Ge
declared except by vote of the Federal
Council; and in time Of peace that Council
is to have the control of the foreign affairs
of the Confederation. This is meant, and is
accepted, as check on any aggressive de-
signs which Prussia might cherish, and
Count Bismarck agrees to it upon the
ground that the Confederation is meant to
be mainly defensive power. These are the
securities against such war as that which
France declared against Germany; against
any war that would not receive the sanction
Of the majority OF the Federal Council-that
is, against any war but one for the defence
and protection Of the nation. 1t is, there
fore, hoped and believed that in Germany,
in very truth, the Empire will be Peace.

A Lesson for Boys.

What can be done by boys who are willing
to work in play-time is shown in an article
printed in Greenville paper.
Two boys, just large enough to plough,
who were going to school in the City of
Greenville determined to spend their Satur-
days in working, instead of idling away their
time in sauntering about the streets. They
went out to their fathers farm, three miles
from town, and selected patches OF ground,
which the tenants thought too poor to culti-
vate. In the spring Of last year, they sowed
some OF these little patches in oats, which
grew finely as the season suited this crop.
Then they hauled several loads of manure
and spread over other patches for corn.
They were late in commencing, and had to
plant their corn and peas before breaking up
the ground. But every Saturday they went
out and ploughed all day. The crop was
worked well, and they made thirty bushels
Of corn, fourteen bushels of peas, which they
picked themselves, twelve hundred bundles
of fodder, which they pulled in the hottest
weather we ever had, and eighty-four dozen
of oats, besides pretty good crop of water
melons The corn at one dollar per bushel
is $50; peas, at one dollar and fifty cents
per bushel, is S2l; the fodder, at one dollar
and fifty cents per hundred, is SIS, and the
oats, at 20 cents per dozen, is SIG so, makes
the nice little sum of SS5 80. The water
melons were eaten or given away. They
have not yet sold their corn, peas and fod-
der, but hold on for better market in the
spring and summer. So much encouraged
were they by their CROP that they sowcd and
ploughed in during the past fall, four bush
els of wheat, after manuring their patches
pretty well with barn-yard manure, scraped
up and hauled out by themselves. They in
tend to enlarge their corn crop the present
year, and are going to clean up, during the
winter, sundry brier patches and hooks OF
old fields.
These two boys, by working one day in
the week for one year, earned SS5 80; and
we warrant that they found a spare moment
for healthy recreation. They are made of
the right stuff, and will grow up to be thrift
ty, money-making men.
