THANKSGIVING SERMON.
The Questions Between the Scientists,
the In6deIs and the Church.

The following sermon, delivered by
Rev. DR.. Boggs, on Thanksgiving day, is pub
lished by request:
enies themselves being judges Deuteron-
omy, xxi, 81.
Unquarried rocks were used by men in
primitive ages as refugees in times of danger.
This fact furnishes to the Hebrew law giver a
beautiful metaphor to express Jehovah's care
for His people. The pilgrims of the desert
were well prepared TO appreciate the figure,
for the tall rocks had thrown their friendly
shadow over them when scorched by the
fierce glare Of the sun To their sheltered
coves they had doubtless fled before the dread
ed blast Of the simeon, loaded with smother
ing sands Aud II was from "the smitten
rock, fitting emblem of q bleeding Savior,
that there gushed streams Of living water to
quench their burning thirst. To enhance
lErael's conception OF their blessed lot, the In
SpiIed poet makes a com paTison in the form
OF a bold challenge. The superiority Of Is
rael's God and Israel's hope are so apparent
that their pagan enemies themselves must in

OF course every one sees that Moses suggests q
comparison with any and every form OF re-

versant with the ancient systems Of pagan

Egypt, India, and Syria there lurked "secret

SOUTH CAROLINA.

She is still entitled to the title of the
"prostrate State" No political coali-
ton yet made has freed her from the
thieves who have for ten long and weary
years filched and fed from her public
treasury. Even In so small matter as
the taking of the State census, she is
fleeced by these uncomfortable scoun-
drels. For instance, it is shown by the
State census, recently taken, that her
total population has increased during
the past five yesrs from 7O5, 506 to $685.
Az, or thirty per cent. This is a start
ling result, inasmuch as from 1850 to
1870 Including, OF course, the war peri
Od) the increase was less than one per
cent, and from 1850 to 1860 only SGT
per cent. The conclusion to which the
Charleston NeIOs and Courier comes is,
either that the United States census of
1870 was radically wrong and under
estimated the population, or that the
population shown in 1875 is determined
rather by the five cents per capita paid
TO tue census-takers than by the actual
population. The truth probably lies be-
tween the two altdnatives. Probably q
desire to clear the way for repeating at
the State election, next year, has much
10 do with the enormous increase. This,
at least, is the general impression among
the whites OF the State. But this is not
all The fusion movement has resulted
in a perfect understanding between
Chamberlain and the legislature, the
former going so far in the way Of con-
cessions to his Radical opponents as to
pardon one DOublin Walker, the black
senator Of Chester county, who retires
from the county jail to the senate Of the
State. A few weeks ago he wore the
striped suit Of a pehitentiary convict,
and his hair wss cropped as close Is his
African wool would admit; but the gov
ernOr first commuted his punishment to
imprisonment in Chester jail, and now
he is enlarged altogether and restored to
his privileges as senator. This fellow
Doubiin, formerly q minister Of the Cos
btii was sDLnt uOulub Slice convicted
of making false returns as 3 school
commissioner, and making drafts upon
the public treasury for the support of
schools and school-teachers having no
existence, and yet he is released by the
governor and restored to his place in the
senate. And the Charleston correspond
ent Of the New York Sun says that the
Legislature is thus prepared by his excel
lency TO meet the important questions
which will come before it, among the
hrst Of which will be a settlement Of
Hardy Soloman's bank, involving the
payment OF the bills OF the bank Of the
State. The latter lie e tub to be thrown
TO the whale; but it is the all-engrossing
Eu3ject with the Legislators. The su-
preme court Of the United States has adj.
Indicated these bills to be valid claims
against the State. But the trouble now
Is, which are the bills? Just after the
war they were called in by notice in slI |

tween seven and eight hundred thou

were funded and burned. Now it
is surmiEeI that under this de-
cree OF the supreme court there
are millions. to.come in, and he received
for blood money or South Carolina
taxes. Chamberlain and his party say
not so much. But Joe Crews was the
authority for the millions, and there are
many good reasons for believing him.
He knew more about it than any one
else. Governor Chsmberlsin's old eli
ents certainly hold a great many bills.
Joe, who made the allegation, and un-
doubtedly knew what he was talking
about, has since been murdered. Poor
PROSTATE South Carolina is thus fOiled Of
her hopes again, and the era Of retrench-
meut and economy promised her by
Chamberlain is postponed indefinitely.

The Jackson Clarion of Thursday an
nounces that the Republican State ex-
ecutive committee of mississippi was in
session the day before, and as a result
laid the foundation for one mora vigor-
Gus effort to secure the State govern
ment and the vote Of the State for their
party in 1875. The Clarion says that to
accomplish this, they count largely on
the use of United States troops, to be OBJ
tanned through the agency of Governor
Ames, and think that the Washington
authorities will incline their ear ID an
application OF that kind for carrying the
Presidential election, much more readi-
ly than for saving from deserved defeat
a wretched carpetbag State administra-
ton, whose fOllies and crimes have
brought discredit on the Re-
publican party. 1t is evident that
the great fight for the permanent
overthrow Of Radicslisn in Mississippi
is to be made next year, and the fact ad-
monishes its opposers that they must
fortify every stronghold they have
gsined-improve all the advantages de-
rived from the November victory
make no mistakes, and stand united as
one man. The Democracy Of Missis-
sippi must obey the suggestions of their
State executive committee, and pre-
serve their district, county, precinct and
ward organizations. No matter what
'no-psrtyn organs may say, or how they
sneer. If the Democracy of all the
States would win in 1876, they must or.
ganize and run on a strict party basis.

ALEDo, Oct. 18th. 1875.
The sale of short horns to-day at the
stock farm of James Feather, six miles
south Of Aledo, brought together an as
semblage of near five hundred people. One
would suppose from the number Of people
present that the building was lively, but
the crowd were attracted more from curl
osity than from any disposition TO buy. /
make this assertion from the fact that the
entire sales were made to less than one
dozen persons. Some Of the stock brought
excellent prices, and others did not bring
prices much in advance of common breeds

month old, sold for $1,000. Anoth-

of the finest show bulls in the state,
brought only $l75. The aggregate sales
footed up 9,465 The average per ami

majority of the animals exposed for sale
were quite young, the average may be re-
garded as pretty fair. Thirty-two head

truth Of the matter is, that the Republi-

in the face, are resorting to every possible
continuance to avert the disaster. The
soldier business, upon which they counted
so much at the opening of the campaign
