Or late, the investigations into, or, at
least, discussions of, or the merits and
claims of Spiritualism appear to have
received a new impetus and q number
of communications upon this subject
have been sent to the JoURSAL. With
ont exception, however, we have de-
clined to publish them. Although the
Journal has department in which it
is intended to permit the free discussion
of all matters of public interest, yet it is
uot by any means intended that this
shall be made a medium through which
coarseness, personal abuse or blasphemy
can find expression. The articles which
we have received have been rejected for
the reason that there was shown in all
of them either lack of knowledge and
understanding on the part OF the wri-
tiers, a persistent railery, without ar
gument, against the Bible, or zsenseless
denuneiatlons of God. Believing in the
principles of Free Discussion we are al
ways willing to publish communica-
tions, even when opposing the so
called orthodox religious beliefs, so long
as the writers shall conform to proper
restrictions and endeavor to conduct
their discussions in proper manner.
But we do not believe in the exhibitions
of hate, malice, envy and Ignorance
which, unfortunately, all too commonly
: prevail; nor do we respect writers or
Spiritnalism, or any other topic, who
abuse the Bible. denounce God, and
needlessly insult all others whose belize
NAV run counter to their own. F-on
all such we shall continue to refuse
any articles whatever.

FELLOW CITIZENS The issues invol-
we'd in the political canvass of this year
are peculiar, and the conditions under
which they are to be decided anomo-
lous in American history. We shall err,
however, if we suppose these issues and
conditions are, confined to California;
they are common to the people of the
United States. Everywhere there is a
deep prevailing feeling that old things
are passing away; that the nation CON
fronts new questions and difficulties
that again the lSphinx's. riddle is. pro-
pounded to us, which we must read or
be destroyed. And yet when we come
find them new indeed in orr history
and new in form, but III substance and
universal history they are as old as his
tory itself; II is a. new phase of the old,
old contest between prerogative and
personal freedom-between the power

Employers have. a !, right to, get for

fuse to workout not to, stop others

Strikes-showing that laborers aspire
to better their condition-are a good
sign. They have Cften secured higher
wages, or fewer hours of work. Yet
they usually cost more than they come to.
While they last, laborers must live ON

A REPORT which has been lately made
shows the present debt of South Caro-
lima to be $l5, 1851 ,S27; of which amount
$4,22l 1877 was owing before the State
had cause to experience the benefits of
mixed government, and the balance,
$Il $3.50, 900, the result of the adoption of
measures of reconstruction. The State
Treasurer claims that the failure of the
Treasury to pay has been due to the fact
that it has been called upon to pay claims
properly chargeable TO previous admin
istrations and that it has received this
year 81, 500, 900 from taxes and has been
called upon to pay $2,41S,S72. The
eause of the difficulty is said TO be that
the Legislature votes the tax levy before
the appropriations and then makes ap-
propriations without any regard to the
amount expected from the levy. 1t is
expected that at the beginning Of the
next fiscal year, November lst, 1873,
there will be 500, 900 of the appropria-
tions of the current fiscal year unpaid.

II an article on s. Secular Prophets"
the Saturday ReUieao calls attention to
some remarkably fulfilled predictions
made by Heinrich Heine. He predicted
rlle Franco-Prussian war and the over
throw of France; that the line of forti-
lications NJ. Thiers was then building
round Paris would draw thither great
hostile army which would crush the
city; that the Communists would some
day get the upper hand in Paris and
strike i'll spirit of fiendish rage at the
statues, beautiful buildings and other
tangible marks of the civilization they
sought to destroy, and that they would
throw down the Vendome column, in
their hate of the man who made France
the foe of every other people. The re-
markable accomplishment of all these
certainly raises his utterances to a point
far above that of mere chance coinci-
dences and furnishes striking example
of farsightedness and close observation
of the condition and probable fate of
the existing governments and powers.

By recent dispatches we notice with
pleasure the heroic achievements of Col.
Grant, the fortunate son of his father.
He was attached TO the Jay Cooke explor-
ing and surveying expedition, but soon
found that the field was too narrow for
the display of his great powers and the
qualification of his noble ambition, and
after reaching the Yellowstone he took
the first boat for home. He was COM
PEELED, by force of circumstances, to ac-
company the expedition through the
zeducdis terres, or ''bad lands" and is re-
ported as having behaved E..nself with
gallantry. Among the enemies that were
encountered were numerous squads of
rattlesnakes, of which Col. Grant killed
two and secured their rattles, to dangle
at his side as mementoes of his youthful
exploits. We are pleased to find the fact
duly accredited by newspaper reporters,
who, in the generous spirit of their guild !,
appreciate merit equally, be it found in
prince or peasant.
WHILE the prospective immigration of
10000 Mennonites to this country is at
tracing general attention it is interest
ing to note that 500 German Russians
lave arrived at Yankton, Dak., in the
vicinity of which they propose to
select claims and build houses. These
people have been induced to settle near
YanktOn from the fact that there are al
ready some 700 of their people living i'm
that neigifborhood. Denied certain
privileges in Russia which they coveted,
and which the Cars Government had
formerly granted them-among them
tile privilege of immunity from the
military service and that of speaking
their own language-they have deter
mined. to seek our soil, where they can
enjoy their customs aud traditions i'm
peace. The wealth of the 500 who have
arrived III YanktOn is said to aggregate
$1,000, 900. Many of them are worth
from $500 1910. 900, Willie some of them
world be esteemed rich men anywhere.
There are five heads of families of the
party whoare W wornlerespectively 100000
S6O, 200, $50, 900, $4,000 aud 100000.
Four of the number possess money to
the amount Of $50, 900 and two TO the
amount of 100000.
