which it would, on the contrary, be apt to
complicate still further. That, however,
could best be determined by actual expert
ment, and in no other way. But allowing
that the revenues of the Postoffice Depart
ment do not as rule equal the necessary
expenditure, there are those, and they are
sound political economists too, who insist
that government should not expect to re-
ceive revenue for mail carriage. They urge
that it ls matter OF stiict accommodation,
a machine devised for keeping the polltlcai
and social fabric whole, and entrusted 10
the care OF no hands but its own. And on
this ground they claim that the government
in assuming the sole right to carry the malis'
ought to be content if it received little or
nothing in return, or at least fixed the rates
at nominal figure only. But this is a SUD-
iect for the future What has just been ac-
complisbed is justly the subject OF general
coneratulation. An excresoence has been
cut away from our current postal SYSTEM
whose removal has been long and urgently
demanded. That done, the system will re-
gain its healthy circulation, and its real
benefits can be fairly estimated.

Au End 20 the Franking Abuse.

The wires bring us the welcome tidings
that the bill abolishing the Franking privi-
lege is now law, having received the Pres
ldent's signature on Saturday. The consum-
nation Of this great reform is an agreeable
surprise to the whole country, and, we sus-
pect, very disagreeable surprise to the
majority in Congress. The bill as passed
by the House has accompanying provisions
in reference to other but related matters,
vet it is distinctive measure for the single
purpose OF abolishing the franking system.
The tons OF free mail matter that are poured
out In a turbid current from Washington
over the country will now be compelled to
submit to the same healthy postal excise
which the taxpaying people have had to
carry from the beginning. 1t is not unlikely
that when members Of Congress have once
acquired the honest habit OF paying the
postage on their letters, they will begin to
inquire into the feasibility OF adopting the
two cent uniform rate. 1t tis still problemati-
cal whether greater or less revenues would be
Welded from reduced rate. The real obsta-
Gle in the question is the matter Of distances,
fer whose cost, it is claimed by some, no in-
crease OF mail matter would compensate, but

Prompt Action Needed.

There are two measures which the Legls-
lasure should take up and pass without
further delay. We mean the bill 10 encour-
age manufactures in this State, and the bill
to encourage the rebuilding OF The burnt dis
trlct OF Charleston. Nobody can have any
valid objection to either OF these bills. They
are in no sense party or clique schemes, but
measures that will manilestly benefit, either
directly or indirectly, the whole people.
With regard to the first the Columbia linton
says:
"Mauy parties in the North, who have
abundance of capital, have had their attention
directed to this measure, and are anxiously
watching the action of the Legislature on the
subject. Only yesterday we'll known gen.
tleman of this city, who himself proposes 10
invest forty or fifty thousand dollars In cot
ton factory, In case the bill passes, named te
US parties In the West who are delayed from
coming here for the same purpose only until
the bill becomes law"
AS to the burnt district bill, every day that
its passage is delayed Is day OF paying
employment lost to the industrious colored
mechanics OF Charleston.

The Bankrupt Repeal.

The very general protest which has come up
from business circles, both North and South,
against the absolute repeal OF the national
bankrupt &C. will doubtless beget the neces-
sary "pauss" In the Senate before acquleecDg
In the hasty action OF the lower House OF Con-
gress. The law, no doubt, could be amended
adyantageously, 80 as to relieve 1t of compli-
Gallons. In New York city petition in cir
culatlou against Its repeal, the Journal of
Commerce Gays, is generally approved by the
merchants That paper we'll says that the
yslue TO the business world Of the bankrupt
law is not to be estimated 80 much from the
actual settlements of insolvent estates made
by this process as from the influence 1t exerts
on the private action Of creditors, and adds:
Heretofore, when an honest debtor became
bankrupt the majority OF HIS creditors we're
willing 10 compromise their claims. and allow
him to extricate himself or 60 on In business
unon payment of such percentage OF his OBJ
ligations az his available assets would wesiant.
few obstinate men, however, would hold
ont for more, and frequently compel the
debtor or his friends to make o private ar
rapgement with them, or be blocked ALTO
gether in his efforts at adjustment. We EaVe
known 8 Single 6olueH VI fluQlStN0 OiCultoi
to hold out against any compromise where all
others were agreed upon the terms; and we
can recall several cases where the remain
inc parties Interested in speedy release
of the debtor and the settlement OF their own
claims contributed pro rata TO an extra fund
TO buy up In full the accounts of single
deblor who persistently opposed all accom-
mediation.
The creditor may be as obstinate as he pleases,
but he cannot prevent The release of bis hon
est debtor who can offer fifty per cent of his
claim. he must therefore accept his sharepf
the assets upon private distribution, as the
majority always desire, or take 1t less the ex-
pense and delays OF the processes OF the
court, but the release will be obtained In
spite of him. It is true that II he is still OBJ.
stinate he can delay others, and spite them
as we'll as himself; but he cannot hold over
the debtor the threat Of future oppression.
We may also add that the law has had most
salularv effect In preventing tavoritism on
the part of honest, well.meaning debtors,
who, Ia the first moment Of apprehended In
solvency, feel bound 10 protect their friends
who had done the most TO give him credit
with others. In this respect alone the pres
ent law has had most benehcent effect.

Spirit OF the State Press.

The Clarendon Press opposes the repeal
of the lien law. and the Florence Pioneer,
while opposing Its repeal at this time, THINKS
that it's operation should be limited TO some
future day-say July 4. 1876.
The Orangeburg Times announces that Its
editor, Mr.. James 8. Hayward, finding 1t i'm
possible to perform the two-tod duty of Jour-
nalIst and schoolmaster, has retired from the
former posi-: ION and sold the Times to DR.. w.
F. Carton, Captain John 4. Hamilton, Mr..
Kirk Robinson and Mr.. James q. Fowles.
The Columbia PhSn,1 denies the Radical
charge that the tone of the Conservative
nress of South Clrolina has repeled capital
and immigration from the State and retarded
our material progress. In the words OF the
Phoenis, SIT has warmly advocated every
,smeasure calculated to Introduce capital, new
.meu and new ideas amongst ns. 1t has held
"he door wide open to immigrants. 1t has
"represented the many attractions and advan-
stages of the climate and country. 1t has
s.sought TO relieve the apprahensons of those
"willng to come, but afraid to invest because
.sof the dangers OF taxation, by working to
.reduce taxes, and, in general, by endeavor'
sing tc raise the character of the govern
"ment, restoring the credit OF the State, and
"glvlng assurance Of security of lie and
"capital, and permanency of order.
The Columbia Union mysterlously remarks:
"The air is thick with ugly rumors Of fraudu-
'Ient school claims, Issued TO numerous per-
"sons filing high positions in political life.
"Many of these claims are said to have been
''already paid, and many more are still out
"wailing their turn. The penltentiary awaits
"somebody If these rumors be true, and there
ssspems 10 be bnt little doubt OF their correct
"ness." The Union also mildly growls at the
bad habits of certain OF the county treas
urers OF holding back the money collected for
the State until the very last moment, when
the money should be in the Slate treasury.
Treasurer Cardozo is often compelled to re-
fuse payment of claims on account Of this fall
ure of county tressurers to forward funds.
The matter needs looking alter.

continues to be called, has kept aloof from tne
public, and only on one or two occasions mas
his voice been heard. This silence has az last
been broken, however. The occasion OF MS
appearing again In public was the decision Oh
the French Evangelical Protestant Commun-
ion to hold week OF intercessory prayer in'
Paris, for the restoration Of Christian unity.
The occasion was not one, perhaps, Whlcn ne
would have voluntarily chosen Tor reap
pearance before the French public after qnl1-
ting the pulpit of Notre Dame, but itseemeo
scarcely probable that any other opportunity
would be open to him for some Time 10 come
in Paris. The curiosity to hear him seemed
yery great, and the chapel where ne spoke
was filed to over6owing. His address
was chiefly of general character, touch
ing upon the objects of the meeting. He was
careful to make 1t quite clear that, although
anxious to promote the movement IN iaVor Oh
Christian unity, he came there as Catholic
and faithful member, 30 far as permitted 10
him. of hls own church. He said that any
attempt to reconcile or promote union be-
tween extreme opinions must necessarily re-
suit In mere halluclnatioE between tnose
who stood out foT the principle OF absolute
authority, like the Ultramontane party, aad
for that of unlimited freedom of Individual
opinion, like the ultra-Protestants; there
never could, be said, be any common ground
of agreement or reconciliation. Union could
only be effected by mutual notifications OF
these extreme opinions on either side. Both
were equally wrong and dangerous, In his
opinion. In concluding, he took occasion 10
enforce strongly the doctrine that faith, and
not the person or chair of st. Peter, was the
rock upon which the Universal Church OF the
future must rest.
