THE RAIL ROAD.

Ma. EDIToR:-The 3Ceci Democrat" not be-
ing contented with abusing the Rail Road Com
pany has thought proper to strike at their agent
at the depot at this pl,ce in manner which
does it as little credit as it does the agent harm.
1t is not my purpose to combat with that paper
that would be meddlinr with "smal potatoes ~
In reference to its attack upon Mr.. Wells it
would only be necessary to point its editor to
the days Of his traflicking in a village little way
down the peninsula, and to describe the charac-
ter of the shop he there kept; but these things
let pass, and proceed to speak Of the Railroad
Company-their treatment of the citizens of
Eikton. SC.
Let us look at the matter in common sense,
business point ofview. 1t may probably be made
to appear that the "Corporationn in question,
has to say the least, as muck soul as some OF
those who abuse it, and if it were to be- admitted
that all the charges made against it, of want of
the disposition to oblige, or deal Justly with our
citizens, were correct, it might most probably be
shown, that they were at fault in the first place,
and brought about the state of things complain
ed OF, by their own grumbling, fault-tindlng, and
abusive disposition.
Is it to be wondered at, that the company
would become careless in relation to our cenyen-
ience?-would it be wonderful if they would
even study to disoblge u.s. when we hear them
cursed and abused by locofocos and those infect
ed by their doctrines as, "d-mn-d monoposts, ,''
"rogues, "swindlers, )" and all that-and abused
aso in the columns of one of our newspa p~rs
Certainly it would not be surprising They
would then act just as any single individual
would act-they would treat us as our conduct
towards them deserved; and if they have in any
case been careless, it in all probability is to be
traced to such feeling. So that it is plain that
the Cecil Democrat' by its abusive manner is
injurng our business men, and making them
liable TO suffer to greater extent the evils Of
which it complains.
| have said so much, having granted the
truth of the alleged charges, for the arguments
sake. But they are not true in the general, and
no more instances of neglect, can be charged to
the Railroad than to men engaged in extensive
business, even when they themselves are most in
terested.

The Oregon Question.
ARBITRATION. A

The Washington Union, the organ of
the administration, and speaking probably
by authority, remarks thus on the propo-
sal TO submit the Oregon question to the
arbitration of some European government.
New York Courier suggests ar"
biiration. We understand that Mr.. CAL
houn declined this proposition when
made by the British Mnister-and de-
clined it, is said, upon grounds o: the
strongest character. We are content to
wait for the publication of that document,
with the general remark, that it is sci.
dom, if ever, that the umpirage of third
power has been able TO settle satisfactorily
the controversy between two States in res

FROM TEXAS.

The last advices from Texas, according
TO the Washington Union, "remove every
shadow of doubt upon the acceptance Of
the terms of our resolutions, and the an
nexation of Texas to the United States.
A private letter "lrom high quarter in

will accept the terms, and that promptly,
and she will have, on the lst Monday in
December next, knocking at the doors of

piring breath denouncing O'Connell for
his wholesale abuse of the American peo-
pie. Hundreds of thousands of dollars

STThe London Times makes the fol-
lowing remarks in relation 10 the United
States:
"The time is now rapidly approaching
when the western coast of North Ameri.
Ca hitherto the least peopled, the least
productive, and the least frequenled por-
lion OF the globe-will become the scene
ofgreat political interests, and will grad
ually be animated with he stir of nations
and the activity of social life. The U.
States are seeking to subject these future
races and States TO their dominion, and
without an army, or any of the ordinary
instruments Of conquest, to extend their
sovereignty over nations yet unborn
The scheme for the annexation of Texas
is the most decided step they have made
in this directions; but tha, is only the pre-
ude to their ullerior designs. The claim
to the exclusive possession of the Oregon
territory is another indication of the same
policy; it will be followed by an attack,
either by force or by fraud, on California
On all these points the same unlimiteu
spirit Of aggrandizemen! prevails. For
the protection of the British dominions in
North America ample means exist; and,
indeed, the possession of the Oregon ter
ritory by the Hudson's Bay Company,
under the joiut conditions Of the conven-
tion of 1918, is practically conclusive on
the point But in provinces IN which no
European power has any direct concern,
the only check to the rapacious encroach-
ments of the United States will be found
to consist in the establishment of another
energetic and Independent power to share
the dominion of North America, and such

THAT WALL.

The people Of the town, we believe, are
almost unanimous in their opposition to
"lhat wall" around the Court House yard
and entirely SO in regard to closing up
the steps at the corner. The general
impression seems TO be that it should be
enclosed with an iron railing. That Ger
tainly would be the mos. respectable kind
of fence, and it is said that it would be
cheaper in the end.
There is also general desire to have
the Court House modernized. Large as
1t is inside, there is scarcely room for a
medium sized meeting. And even in time OF
Court it is nconvenient in the EXTREME
We trust that it may be subjected to some
alteration that may make it better suited

it to the enlhusias m Of the people of Tex
as in regard to Annexation. The only
trouble with them appears to be whether
to meet in Convention and form a Con-
slilulion for "lhe Slate of Texas" prior or
subsequent to The meeting of G Congress.-
This is fertile theme for the several ed
itors.
The Morning Star of the Sd instant,
published at Houston, says that it has the

Division Of the M. E. Church.

The vote in the New York Annual
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, 10 rescind the restrictive rule, so
that the property of the Church may be
divided, is lost-the requisite number not
having voted i'll the affirmative. If the
delegates of the Southern Lonft ference, as
sembled in Convention at Louisville,
should now separate, says the New York
Mirror, they could claim none of the
joint property of the Church. The law
would undoubtedly consider them as Sc
