a POLITICAL AxnHEALN

Caleb Cushing has retired to the shades OF
private life; promises never again to become
an aspirant for Office, because, he says, he is
too old. This is certainly curiosity in poll
tics. Generally when man tastes the sweets
OF power, or plays a part upon the political
arena, Office becomes a mania with him.
John Quincy Adams, after retiring from the
Presidency, yearned for the excitement of
political life, and was not satisfied until he
was elected TO congress, where he often for
got his dignity in disreputabe brawls, and
where he was a sturdy buffeter of the waves
when the wild sea of political excitement ran
highest. He died in his seat, and had he
been defeated and forced to retire to that Sc
clusion so becoming a man of his age and the
exalted position he had occupied, his heart
would have been broken. Thad Stevens,
Notwithstanding his advanced age, his de-
crepitude and il-health, could not be in
duced to retire. He could not understand
that he had outlived his usefulness. He had
to be carried to his seat on a cot, and while
his eyes were covered with the film of death
he loved to linger upon the tneater upon
which ne won his fame and to whisper his
hatred for the south. Alexander II. Stephens,
of Georgia, seems to be actuated by the anne
infatuation for political life. When his party
talks about holding convention he cries
for his seat as the child cries for i'9
candy. Andrew johnson delighted in tle
stormy excitement of political life. In re-
tirement he was as restless as the Gagged hon,
and like John Quincy Adams became a me NJ
Der Of congress after serving as President,
and would again have filed the office of al.
derman rather than have lived in retirement.
fohecisns seem to act upon the belief that
tnere Is no end to their long and active life
increased years and infrmities only increases
soeir desires for more active participation
In pubic affairs, and they lag superHuous
upon the stage. Enforced retirement is the
only thing that gives to age any terrors. In
retirement they chafe over inaction, and pro-
tess contempt for the work of those who
have replscsd them in the national councils.

Several Of the leading newspapers in Mis-
sissippi are earnestly urging Governor stone
to convene the legislature in extraordinary
session for the purpose of extending the time
for the payment of taxes. The Yazoo Her.
aid says:
The governor should call an extra session Of the
legislature at once he Will not risk any OF his popu-
lary by this action for IL read the signs of the
times rightly, public sentiment Is in favor CT an ex-
ira session and an extension OF the time for paying
the taxes. The terrible ravageS OF the epidemic,
and the failure of the planter to get his crop
ket al the usual time, owing to quarantine have
combined to throw the business of the conn
uy 1t least three months behind an ordl-
nary season. and fairness would prompt that
the views herein act forth should be adopted.
Let the time for the collection Of the taxes of the
year 1873 be extended TO the length CT lime that the
business OF the country brought to stand-sl uy
the pestence which Walketh at night and waSteth at
MONDAY Let this be done without a cent of adj
ditional cost. The people sorely pressed hnan-
cially-their fields have failed to yield their usual
increase; the soil which hardly ever fails to laugh
out a harvest when tlckled with the hoe, fell into
one of its sullen. unhappy moods ills year ana re-
fused 70 give forth, only In parsimonious manner,
the things good for man and beast locked up In It's
tseming bosom, and fer these reasons we favor the
adoption Of some plan whereby the taxpayers OF
the state may be relievedsince IL this Ss not DONE

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGIsLATURE.

Inc legislature or Ooutn carolina convened
at Columbia on Monday last, aud the mes
sage Of Governor Simpson Is fell Of interest
and valuable suggestions. While the Presi-
dent of the United States, in his message,
whines about the intimidation in South Caro-
lima, Governor Simpson shows that the pub
lie schools are in most gratifying condition,
that one hundred and sixteen thousand two
hundred and thirty-nine children attended
the schools last year, an increase of nearly
fourteen thousand over the preceding year.
This is incontestible evidence of the efficiency
of Democratic rule. The message urges the
utilization of convict labor, and shows that
there is plenty of use for the services of the
criminals who are eating their heads off in
the penitentiary. Governor Simpson reminds
the legislature that eve have rivers that
need deepening, canals that ought to be dug,
mines TO be explored, railroads to be built.
The average criminal breads work more than
confinement, and the knowledge that any
able-bojIed convict will be made to
earn his living will act Rs a deterrent
upon the criminal classes" A general stock
law is recommended by the South Carolina
governor. He shows that the law passed at
a previous session allows the counties, 10y
a vote Of the people, to adopt the ne-fence
law, under which the land lies open and cat
tie are fenced-ln. 1t is matter of fencing
in the cultivated land or fencing-in stock.
and there is no doubt that, by fencing-ln
stock, the breed and quality of the stock are
improved, and the expenses of farming are
lessened. With free labor it is next to ina-
possible TO keep the fences in repair, and,
other considerations apart, The long leagues
Of fence consume more timber than c21 Re
spared. There is one recommendation in
Governor Simpsons message that will raise
howl among tie stalwart Republicans. He
takes the position that there is an imperative
necessity for providing for the registration of
all voters, and that repeating and other
fraudulent voting can only be prevented by
Il stringent registration.

They are -7ed by what seems neglect Of
their segv'css and abilities, and if they do not
say wisdom Is dying with them, and that the
scepter OF power has departed from among
good men, they no doubt think so. There Is
no sadder spectacle than to see an old poll
ticiars enforced retirement. But Caleb Cush-
ing is one of the few veteran politicians who
grow old gracefully" Eighty years Of
age, he very wisely concludes that he has
performed his mission as an officeholder, al
though his health il good, his intellect IN
clouded, and his gray hairs command an in
iuence unknown to younger men. He pro-
poses to retire and to pas ms time, not in
querulous complaint, and to chste at that in
action SO becoming the old, but TO cOntem-
plate in serenity the past and the folly which
induces men trembling upon the verge of the
grave to seek place and power

EXCHANGE papers reaching us from all

EXCHANGE papers reaching US from all
quarters have something to say Of Thanks
giving day. This year that institution has
not been success" There is something
almost pathetic al these two lines from the
commercial department OF tie New York
Tribune: "But few Thanksgiving weeks in
past years kaye been duller than the last "
War abroad, pestilence at home, and "hard
times everywhere take the smile from the
lips Of Joy, and the voice of Thanksgiving
trembles with emotions of sorrow. They
who are left desolate of their dear ones, and
they who shiver because bad trade has
brought poverty, hunger and cold to the
portal of winter-ths day of Thanksgiving
are brought low. The past is EresLie, the
future dark with anticipations of other evils
yet to be endured, "Oh, Lord, how long?"

As USUAL the. occurrence of Thanksgiving
is bringing out many questions as to what
are legal holidays and what authority legal

sets one class Of questions at rest by saying;
''There is no national holiday established as
such by act Of congress. Several efforts to
this end have been, made, but the proposal
has never been adopted"
