Remedy for lhc Panic.

1t Is conceded on all hands, re.
marks one of our exchanges, that
deficiency i'll the circulation is the
main trouble at this time. How
shall this be remedied? Let all who
have any currency locked up, pay
their debts at once. This Will set
the ball in motion, which is all that
is wanted to restore healthy action.
The crops can then be moved, and the
business Of the country will 20 on as
usual. Tho remedy for tho hard
times is simple, and as thrrc is oblig-
ed to be sta, tiug point, VIC would
kindly undertake to lead in this mat
ter, whenever one or two thousand
persons indebted to this officc will
unlock the currency IN their posses
sion, and enable u6 to face creditors
with becoYMirg boldhess,. We are
anSiou, to "circulate" the green
backs, and there is no doubt us to the
efficiency of this remedy, provided
delinquent subscribers and dilatory
advertisers arc willing to test its
efficacy. We arc disposed to make
the sacrifice Cor the public good. and
help to relieve this community of the
cwbarrassm cuts accustomed by the

-g'oo Much Politics.
Ono Of tho greatest evils urder
which our country now labors is IN
excess of politics. II docs not con
tino itself to matters pertaining to
govern ment, but invadcs the sphore
of rcliGio and endcavo:s to frame
laws for society. 1t too frequently
forms the criterion for dotorm iniug
tho fitness Of ospirants for public po-
sitions whose very nature and tho
duties they impose would seem to
forbid the presence of any influence
save that spripgipg from q high sense
of duty. Tho cause of this uuduo
power of politics is found in the M.
turo of our government. 1t is tho
constant dim, not only of politicians
and demagogucs, but of teachers and
writer's on political science, to i'm
press their followers and pupils with
tho magnitude Of tho oitizcu's rights,
and tho duty of all to aspire to tho
enjoyment Of the Highest Of thom.--
Nor is this teaching confined to the
sphere Of those whom VIC have men
toned; it invades the sacred domain
of religion, and the pulpit, instead Of
being tho herald Of "poaco on earth,
goodwill towards men," is made to
perform tho part of Il political news
journal, in lauding the deeds Of ono
party, and denounting Che faults of
another.
| Nowhere is the evil of this state of
thiDgsmore readily and foroibly pro
sontod than in South Carolina. The
negro, naturally enthusiastic and fond
Of sensation and novelty, has boen so
constantly cxhorted to u due opptc,
ciatitn Of his immense privileges
that he has so cehtered his thought
upon This one thomc as to be not un-
frequently negligent of those things
that pertain to his happin tss
and material well-boinf. Farm-work
Is frequently abandoned, in favor OF
political gathering or ml,,va.y y
parade, and both planter and laborer
made to suffer. We have known of
moro than one instance in which q
majority of tho laborors on farm
have had "orders" to leave work ana
mcot at tho county. scat to listen to
political harangues, and This too, not
in tho midst Of an active campaign

laboror We have not spaoe tc

of this excess of politics, but the
ca ses cited are sufficient to show the
general principles involved.
We arc of course aware that the

advice of his friends beyond the Limits

to his attention III the hope that he
he may bo brought to realize
tho evils Of his present thraldom tc

DR. ITNToE sNurHs LECTURE BEFORE THE DEIA-
WARE INSTITUTE OF MECHANIC ARTS.
As usual, the rooms Of the Workngmen were
crowded on Saturday night to hear DR.. smith's
scientific and interesting lecture on the subject
of "How we Grow"
The lecture was illustrated by three large life
size physiological charts, which aided much in =
proper understanding Of the snbject. DR.. Smith
infinitely and intelligibly described how food
taken into the stomach is digeeted, and convert
ed into blood. The action OF the oxygen 10 the
air upon the blood in the lungs and the route or
circulation Of the blood was fully described. He
also showed by illustration the various tissues Of
the body, and Of such materials as they need
from the blood, and the yielding up 20 the blood
of the effete matters or particles TO be borne By
the blood TO the excretory organs. The diher-
ent influences and agencies food is subjected to,
were traced and fully explained, from the time OF
its entrance into the mouth until its conversion
into blood.
The Absorption OF gaseous matters from the
atmosphere was proved and illustrated, and the
plain necessity therefore OF breathing pure air,
The case OF the cholera in Baltimore in 1S49 was
cited in proof of the arguments OF the lecturer
The lecture occupied about one hour in its de-
livery and was attentively listened to. At it's
close vote OF thanks was rendered to DR.. smith
after which Joseph H. Hoffecker was announced
as the lecturer for next Saturday evening. on
the subject of "Who are the Workingmen!"
