PEDESTRIANISM.
From Bells Life, Dec. 2S.l

lFTOm Bell IS Lie, Dec. 20
On Monday last sprint race, which has excited
more interest than any sporting event in the neigh
borhood for many years past was decided in the
presence OF about one thousand spectators, at
Hasar lane, Gosport. The contestants were James
Cole and J. Brunt, and the distance $50 yards Both
are well known in pedestrian circles, having COM
peted successfully on various occasions. Two
hundred pounds was the stake to be run for. but
considerably over 95O0 In bets depended on the re-
suit. On reaching the appointed place the ground
was carefully measured in the presence OF the
referee, Mr. Z. Griffith, and the men proceeded at
once to business, Mr.. j. Vandy despatching them
at the first attempt to very even start, fmmedi-
atey after which Cole, being the quickest to get
Into his stride, took the lead and retaining 1t
throughout, won by yard and quarter. Brunt
hung fire slightly in the first twenty yards, butt
picking up, got rather close to his man at halfway
The soldiers shoes, however, were not adapted for
the hard road and he nearly stumbled, and Cole
having plenty OF running in him, the result was
never really IN doubt. Brunt was attended by Mr.
Isaac Witt, OF Southampton (his backer), and Cole
who had the advantage OF training under Ike
Howarth, was looked after by Jack Crawley.

THE METHODIST MINISTERS.

s~,r,tu.l Condition OF the Churches-Old-
r..h,oued Revtvals and Modern Ones
Contracted.
qb,s clerical body met yesterday In greater nun.
hers than usual alter the exciting debates OF the
two previous weeks on humiliation. The subject
under consideration yesterday was the religious
condition OF the churches. 1t was treated OF in
conversational way. The several speakers gave
brief but interesting sketches OF the revival innu
cnce which prevails at present in their respective
charges. enlivening the same with an occasional
incident OF remarkable conversion or comments
on the kind OF preaching that is heard in the pupits
OF this day as cOntrasted with the past.
Rev. Mr.. Gorham, OF Newark, regretted that re-
yivals are conducted now Sin the highest style OF
the artn and not on old-fashiened principles as in
The days OF Wesley and Fletcher and Asbury ana
the Fathers. Conviction for sin Is not as deep
and pungent now as then, because, he feared,
there is not enough OF the doctrine OF eternal
punishments and rewards in their sermons. He
was amazed to hear what he had heard In the
meeting two weeks ago, and 1t was an evidence to
his mind tnat there is a strong and increasing
doubt in the minds OF the preachers OF the present
day In regard TO the duration of future punish
God upon sheet music, and the time-honored songs
OF the Fathers are ignored for th0se''glory halle
lujah" songs OF to-day Hence II was harder to get
the masses to move toward God now than formerly.
Mr.. Dickinson and Mr.. Hollis did not sympathize
with these sentiments at all. They thought that
the people being much more intelligent to-day than
they were fifty or sevepty-6ve years ago. they act
more from principle now than they did then, and
there Is consequently less need for the deep con-
vtoti0n OIL which Mr. GOrham had spoken. The
ministry, they thought, none the less faithful
and efficient now than they were OF old, and the
domestic and social and commercial lives Of the
communities in which they 1.-THE speakers) live are
none the less pure and holy than were those Of the
days OF the Fathers 1t was mistake, therefore,
IN this age to results by the depth Of con-
viction or sin. They believed that 1t really re-
.quired deeper conviction and stronger emotion
to-day TO move penitent toward the altar than 1t
did fifty years ago.
This subject Will be continued next Monday, the
debate thereon to be opened by the Rev. John At
kinson, OF Bergen Heights, Jersey City.

Tho Debt.

The Columbia Herald says that "there is
"one thing about which the people and the
"press are exceedingly auxious-the settle
"ment of the public debt" 1t insists that
"a commission ought to lie provided for to
"Gx our honest liabilities" and, in the true
Pattersonian style, slyly suggests that "there
sis much more to be said In favor OF the
"Blue Ridge scrip, defunct as that appears
"to be, than in favor Of certain bonds.
This sort OF talk might have some effect
il it came from a different quarter. The
people are not anxious to pay any more than
they are paying now, and they regard the
Blue Ridge scrip as an unmitigated swindle.
In course OF time the binding and valid
debt OF the State will be ascertained, and
some arrangement be made with the cred
itors. Just now, however, all the money
that can be raised is needed for carrying on
the State Government. That's what's the
matter

state Advertisements.

The Columbia Carolinian, in noticing the
payments made to newspapers for the pub
lication OF the Acts OF the General Assem-
bly,, INDUCES in some rather tart comments
upon the charges OF the conservative"
Journals. The singular zeal with which the
CaroAnian has entered upon this discussion,
and the insolent tone ia which It assumes
to catecbise its brethren OF tho press are, to
say the least, very suggestive OF the circum-
stance that its own columns have never
been adorned by any OF the advertisements
in question. We do not choose 10 fight the
battles OF other journals, but as far as TIE
NEWS Is concerned, we have just this to
say In reply to the GaroliniGn's attack. The
laws were published in The NEWS, in pur-
suance OF written contract, at rate con-
siderably lower than the price usually paid
by our customers for ordinary advertising.
Itemized bills, specifying the several acts,
the number OF lines In each and the price per
line, were presented and paid, after the work
had been done. The contract and the re-
cepted bills may be seen, We suppose, by
the Carolinian or by anybody else, who is
curious on the subject Meanwhile we beg
to suggest to our dissatisfied contemporary
that The NEWS does not intend to be flip
PANTY classed among journals which, in the
view OF the Carolinian, have been blending
themselves to fraud upon the State" If
the Caroltnian has any such charge to make
against this paper, let US haveit at once in
direct and specific form.

$3.50, 900. This is vastly more than the net
income now available for dividends. The
difference must be made up by increased
earnings or decreased expenses. The ex-
penses cannot be decreased without impair
ing the efficiency OF the road, and the only
way in which the Central Railroad could
dream of increasing the earnings would De
by an advance OF rates. This advance OF
rates can be had now, we presume, il the
Central Railroad hold its hands; and "a
"Stockholder" in Orangeburg should re-
member that an increase OF rates would cost
him, unless large stockholder, more than
the six per cent. dividend. Every article
which he bought or uaed would pay it's share.
It ia simply impossible for the Central Rail-
road to make six per cent. dividend THIS
year upon the South Carolina Railroad oy
any means not within the reach OF the pres
ent management. What the one can do,
the other can do. The difference Is this: 1t
may appear TO the Central Railroad
worth while to pay two or three hum
dred thousand dollars a year for the sake
OF strangling the South Carolina Railroad
which Is its only successful rival. we DO
not think the directors of the Central Rail-
road would make such proposition, In q
shape which would make 1t safe to the stock
holders OF the South Caroll2a Railroad.
When they do, it will be time enough to dis
cuss conditions and security.
Ris to be hoped that the stockholders OF
the South Carolina Railroad will not be
hasty in confding their proxies to the tender
mercies OF Mr.. John q. james. Let them
give them 10 some gentleman in whom they
have confidence, with instructions to vote
for any proposition which will secure divi-
dends without e1tinguishiDg their property.
And If dividends can safely be obtained, no
paper will rejoice more thereat than TIE

Mr.. Donald Mcqueen, the treasurer Of Ker-
shaw County, who was charged With collect
Ing the penalty on state and county taxes be-
fore the penalty was due, sends conclusive
" satisfactory explanation of his conduct to
the Sumter Watchnaan. 1t appears that the
old tax receipts were used, rendering erasures
and alterations necessary. These corrections
were sometimes overlooked, and, In the re-
ceIpts in question, the amounts under the
head OF "penalty of State tax" were really
items of taxation and not penalty.

This is all very we'll, except the provision ior

whereas it is estimated that they should
amount to 81, ,s67, 900, In view Of tho statislics
which have been gathered on the subject. II
there Ia such deficiency it is of course the
fault of the governments deputy postmasters
In falling to collect what ls due at the points
of delivery, where newspaper postage ID
now required to be prepaid quarterly. Pno'
lishers should not be. inconvenienced by tnis
delinquency of officials, which might be cor
rected by holding them to more strict dis
charge of duty. II the bill becomes law, iI
will be requisite TOR publishers to add the post
age to the subscription price OF the paper
and as 1t will comprise only small and often
odd amount, it will be very inconVenlent lot

get cash in advance from many of their sub-
scribers, 1t will 60 very hard to pay out the
money for postage, though 1t may serve 10
bring them to doing as they should-a cash
hnsiness only with subscribers TO their jour-
nails. This portion of the law In regard to
prepayment on newspapers at the place Of
mailing is not designed to 60 into effect I'LL
