For The ChernU Gazette.

At meeting Of the Citizens of Darlington,
held at the Court House on the 18th of March,
1887, to consider and forward the public veal
by taking advantage Of the opportunity afford
| ed in the Charter of the Santee and Darling
ton Rail Road; and, the prospects of extend
ing the same, JOHN McCLENIGHAN Esq. hav-
ing been called to the Chair and PETER C..
CocGEsHALL Esq. appointed Secretary. At
ter a general discussion of the subject it was,
on motion of Alexander D. Sims Esq. (the
names of the members, Of the several Commit
tees having been supplied and certain amend
ments adopted by the meetmg.)
Resolrcd, That the wants Of the country
east of the Watcree and Santee, call impcra-
lively for this Rail Road communication.
Resolred, That it is as well the interest of
the Planter and Merchant in the country, as it
IS that OF every citizen of Charleston, to for
ward the subscription, to the Rail Road from
the Santee to Darlington; and, that this meet
ing would express its ardent wish that the
Rail Road may be alike strenuously supported
in town and country.
Resolred, That A. D. Sims, E. W. Charles,
Hugh E. Cannon, fElias Sd. Law, W. Means
W. Cannon, Moses Sanders and John McClen-
Afghan, Esqs. be appointed Committee to re-
port an address, to our fellow. citizens OF Char
lesion, soliciting their most strenuous co-ope-
ration in this measure. This Committee nav
ine reported the following address; II was
unanimously adopted.
FELLOW CITIZENS:
The importance OF the trade OF Eastern
South Carolina, being carried to ITS naturai
port ofimport and export, has led the Citizens
of Darlington and its vicinity to addressy0u at
this time. and to express their ardent hopes
that bv vol,r means, such an interest may be
eyci+ed in Charleston, as to secure, o'the Dar-
lincton and Santec Rail Road, your entire and
efficient support. !
The lists will be opened in Charleston and
IN the various Districts on Monday the 3rd of
April 1887.
70 urge motives to an excrtion so obviously
useful in its results, to yourselves and fellow
citizens in the country is needless.

INEw.ORLEANs, March :,

We are fallen on singular and anomalous
times. In the midst of uncxampled pros
perty, when all the avenues of trade arc
open, when money is abundant for the Or
dinary operations otcommercc, we are CAL
led upon to record several extensive fai-
lures involving an amount almost alarming
to the general credit. On Saturday, one
of our largest and most influential houses
failed for seven millions carrying with it
full five millions more. When and where
this is TO stop We know not. The rage
for speculation has been so great that there
is no estimating the amount of responsible
lities incurred. 1t does not appear to have
been confined to real estate. Overtrading
in the staple articles Of the country onthe
part of favored few has led to this dis.
astrous state Of things. Yet in the midst
ofthesc extraordinary failures, the business
of the country is going on steadily. This
is proof of the stability of our mercau-
tile friends. 1t is sthought that some ofthe
houses which have s'opped payment will
be able TO resume business in few days.
As may be expected. Cotton opera
tons under such circumstances are not
likely to flourish. No sales were recorded

The balance in the Treasury on that

ted among the different States, has, on

the Attorney General and explained in

to br S37 ,468 ,859 81.
The division Of this sum, in detail,
among the several States, may be seen
in the document annexed, (A) and, in
cluding Michigan, equals Sl27 ,445 10
to each electoral vote.
10 consequence Of the proceedings Of
the last convention in Michigan, and
the views expressed concerning them by
the President of the United States, in
his recent message communicating those
proceedings to Congress, together with
the provisions Of The bill now pending in

changed siGce November as to Justify
the ass gnment TO her Of share of the
public deposites, subject, however, en-
iirely to the future decision OF Congress
upon the proprieiy OF this step.
The payment "i the share assigned TO
Michigan will, therefore be postponed
till some expression of opinion shall be
given by Congress, wbrh may either
sanction its being made TO her in The
same manner ns To the other States, or
require its division among the other
States in addition to the sums which have
already been apporiioned To them.

We had an alarm, Of fire on Saturday
evening last, which happily proved to be a
false one, but which we hope will be con-
ductive to some good. The magnitude of
our danger, in case fire had broken out
and got fairly under way, on such night
cold and bluslering-has led many to in
qu're 1t our means of subduing fire are Of
such efhc'sncy AS may be relied upon, and
prudence demands. The result of this in.
curry on our part is, that our engines are
altogether inadequate to perform the duty,
that we must expect, will sooner or later.
be required. Out of the six engines in
town, we do not believe that more than tvo
would bear the strain of three hours con.
stant working, without getting out of order.
Most OF them are old, and, though, we be-
l'eve. kept in as good order as they will ed
mit' they nre not such as we should place
our reliance upon, in case of so much im-
portance. We want at least one engine of
mucE more power than any we now have;
one that is capable of throwing a sufficien,
quantity of water to supply two of our old
engines r'hen occasion requires. Such an
engine, constructed on the most approved
plan, aud furnished with liberal supply Of
hose, would do more towards quencbing
tire-when the water is thrown directly up
on lt-than any two of the engines we now
have. Such an engine as would require
n company of Fifty or sixty men, We abso-
lueI Iy require, aud we hope that those,
whose duty it is to attend to this branch Of
our municipal affairs, will take it into inn
mediate consideration.
We have been so singularly fortunate
that the state of our fire department cxcites
100 little a,.e ,tion. 1t IS now over ten
years since a building has been destroyed
by fire in this town, aud the few alarms
we have had, have been cases where the
damage done has been so small, and the
bre SO easily subdued, that too much con.
fdence has been engendered US to our abil.
ny OK qnehciling hre, and some, we very
y believe, have thought that if our engines
and companies had beer in New York, tho
great fire would have been stayed in its
course of destruction, by their tremen-
lious-squirts. If something is not done
md done quickly, we shall be in :he pre-
iicaInent of the person who, after his horse
vas stolen, procured lock to put on his
table door-after we have lad IA fire, and
'erhaps, half our town lays in ashes, we
hall then procure such engines as we
'ught at once to have.
In expressing these views we have given
lot only our own opinion, but that of 9th
RS with whom we have conversed.

We have this week TO record another Of
thnse dreadful shipwrecks, which Of late,
have frequently occurred on our coast.
The great loss of life in the present in.
stance, marks this as the most disastrous
that has ever occurred. Great blame is at
tached to the New York pilots, as it is evi-
dent that had they been at their posts, this
most fatal event would not have taken
place. The pilot system Of New York un.
doubtedly requires revision, hut before
we entirely condemn them, We should bear
in mind that our pilots have more to con
tend with than the far famed English pilots,
whom we have so often seen praised for
their venturous and daring exploits, inas-
much as we have weather Of much greater
severity, with regard to temperature, than
ever occurs on the English coast. The
great difficulty with our pilots in the winter,
is on account of ice, which accumulates in
severe weather so rapidly on their boats,
rs to render them unmanageable ard ex-
tremely dangerous, difficulty which is
hard to remedy, and in comparison with
which, the severe gales and rough sea on
he coast OF England, can be overcome
with ease. The ice in the docks at Liver
pool, we are informed by one VIII" bas been
there at all seasons, never exceeos "'
thickness of a dollar, aflord'nga strong
co,tr,s, to the severity of our climate
