Editor Orangeburg Times.
Sir: In your last issue of January 9th,
you would seem to imply the fact
that there is gross negligence or care
lessness in my Office, for the simple reason
that several persons have fniled to get
their papers regularly. You ask me to
investigate. I have done so. OF the
two gentlemen who complains of not get.
ting their papers, viz: Mr. Smell and DIR.
Murray, find the following, the real
facts: Mr.. SHELLS mail goes into a box
with several others Your paper was
issued December 18th, 1872. The 25th
being Christmas day, there was no paper
issued from the Times" office. This ac-
counts for one paper, the Issue which
should have been published OH the 1st
January, 1873, was not sclit from The
"lmcs" office until the Sd inst, (Friday)
Mr.. Smell, it is probable, in fact, did send
for his mail Wednesday or Thursday, the
1st and End inst, and as no paper had
been issued then, he did not get it. On
Saturday some member of the "club'
took out the mail, and being late when
he got home it was not delivered immcdi-
ately. On the following Monday, Mr..
Smell complains of not having received
his paper for three weeks. (from 18th
December, 1872, to January 9th, 1873,
lacks two days Of being three weeks. His
paper is now i'll the office for this week.
In regard to DR.. Murray's paper, it has
not been sent to this Office for several
weeks. You saw yourself that it was not
in the Office yesterday after the papers
welc distributed, so the fault evidently
is with your mailing clerk. In conclu-
sion would here state that great many
persons send by irresponsible parties for
their mail. And if it is not delivered by
them, surely should not be held respon-
sible. 1t is impossible to please every
body, but whether / have done my duty
as Postmaster, | leave to the public gen
erally, who have business with my office.
Respectfully, T. DeMars.

Polar Waves Explained.

The "Nation" gives IN explanation of
what is known rs the November Atmos-
pheric Wave" or the sudden annual
change which we call the "cold snap"
The change itself is the transfer Of cold
descending air from the oceans TO the
continents; its cause is the change in the
position Of the greatest relative heat.

Napoleon the third ,icd on the morn.
ing ofthe 9th of this month, Mt Chisel-
hurst, from what appears to have been
thorough breaking down Of his consti-
tuition. For years lie has been a hope
lcssly diseased man, and INCREASINGLY op-
pressed ly the cares Of greatness which
he brought upon himself.
How by his indomitable ambition he
forced himself into such prominence be-
fore the world, can never cease to excite
the wonder and admiration of all read
ers of history. Without possessing any
OF the eminent qualities of greatness, this
man fno great talent, by taking the
tide of fortune Mt its flood, with nerve
and diplomacy, has placed himself in q
position which Mt one time excited the
fear and jealousy of every crowned head
OF Europe. In this position he main-
taincd himself with such eminent credit
as causcd him at one time to be regarded
as the man of his country. Yet, was he
not talented man, and one probably as
totally wrapped up in self as any ever
was. He probably did rs much for
France rs any other one man, vet was he
not patliot. He beau,ifed and adorned,
knocked down and built up Paris, made
schools of arts, and cultivated the tastes
which most pleased the French people,
ms he found them; this for the greatness
of Napoleon III, but naught has he done
for the greatness Of France. He ruled
his people with an iron rod, and the very
measures lie adopted for protection
against enemies at home, FASTENED his
downfall when he was assailcd by enc.
mics from abroad.
From The life of this great ordinary

man, this plebcian applicant for regal
honors, one may see to what great height
0f renosr " man sishSuf ANY talent,
save that Of bidinss tile opportuae mo-
ment, may attain through anervous am,
sbition. IfNapoleon possessed any great
qualities, they were diplomacy and nerve.
Yet the former failed him more than
once, and the failure of both when he was
forced into the war aguinst the Prussian
alliance caused his overthrow and exile.
Napoleon was not n great ruler. Had
he been such, a's,nush, i.pssuclii US did ID,
cur, could never have beialleu SO military
and brave nation as the French. In
his downfall too, we may read tho pro-
gressiveness of the age. BY the superior
diplomacy of the new man, Bismarck, the
statesman of our age, and the ccmmun-
istic spirit of the present time, Napoleon
found himself ensnared without and net
ted at home, and the penalty of his am
bition was tho loss ofa crown. q
There is no doubt that the i'll health
of Napoleon seriously impaired his intel
lcct, and his nerve Had he been man
of sound constitution, there is no telling
how long he may have continued to rule
the French. And yet had he not been o.
hypocordriac, it is very probable that he
never would have been L'Empcrcur; for
VIC read that the basis of his indomitable
ambition, which years of misfortune, ex-
1 lie and jailing could not subdue, was laid
III his faith in dream or vision, or some
such thing, the result no doubt of a
stomach disordcred by a cabbage supper
or such like.
Be this as it may, Napoleon LII, tho
fanatical imitator of his uncle, Napoleon
the Great, has by judicious perseverance,
under much greater trial and with less
capacity than fell to the lot of his proto.
type, attained to the supreme rule of
France: and with downfall as sudden,
has ended his lite in nm obscurity scarce
ly less conspicuous.

just as this water is left behind by the
more rapid movement Of the solid part of
the earth toward tho moon (because the
solid part, averaged at the centre, is
nearer the moon,) SO the mir above the
torrid zone is left behind by the moro
rapid westerly motion of the solid earth
beneath it, and thus always appears to

and thus the surface Of the torrid zone
moves faster and the temperate zones
slower than either would move if LIQUID
or independent of its ncighbors. The
average velocity of rotation is near lati

equal pace. North of this latitude we
may regard our prevailing westerly

The points made against the validity
of the scrip are in bnef:
1. That the scrip is d bill Of credit
withir the meaning of the constitution of
the United States, because "it is issued
by the .'Stnte, upon the credit Of the
State, and is designed to serve, md
wouls' serve, the ordidary purposes of
money"
2. That it violates the constitution of
the State, which expressly provides that
every public debt sholl be ccrented by way
of loan on bonds of denominations not
les than fifty dollaJs,
). That there has been ne considcra-
,i"n cnuring to the State, inasmuch as
the honds Of the Blue Ridge Railroad
Company, to relieve the State from ner
Liability upon which the scrip was nomin-
ally issued. were never a liability upon
the State, the conditions upon which the
State granted her endorsement not hav-.'
inc: been performed. "
ms matter OF the non-periormanco of
the conditions by the Blue Ridge Rail
road Company forms the whole gist of
the argument, SO fur us the moral ohli-
CATION of the State to indemnify the
scrip-holders, which is the burden Of
their song, is concerned. "Thc scrip
may be illegal" they say. 1t may shave
been issued in violation of the "constitu-
tion Of. the State and of the United
States, Still we are bona fdc holders
for valuable consideration, and under
faith of an act of the Assembly Of the
State, nnd ought not therefore in equity
to be allowed to suffer" 1t was right
here that the refusal Of the Supreme
Court to hear testimony bore particularly
hard.
Up TO the ACT of 1871, entitled an net
to promote the consolidation of the
Grcrprllc aud Columbia and the Blue
Ridge Railroads, it wns impossible to ne
gotiate the guaranteed bonds, except at
par. Such was the restriction the State
had placed on its endorsement. The
consolidation act repealed the condition.
But the consolidation of the two roads
was never effected, und therefore, as has
been ably argued in the court, this par
ticu!ar net is null and void. But aside
from this it was the purpose of Attorney.
General Aleltou to establish, by testimo-
ny, that even prior to the consolidation
act the Blue Ridge Railroad Com
pany had hypothicatcd all, or very near
ly all, of the four million dollars of en-
dorscd bonds for an insignificant sam, in

just then Pawling's horse stopped

dropped to the ground, and then I'M
mediately sprang up again, and taking
