Election of u. S. Senator.

The Senatorial vacancy has been hled
and much to the as:onishment of the people
of California, Milton S. Latham is the recip-
lent of the honor. Messrs Weller, Den
yer, Washington, Baldwin, McDougal, were
the known candidates in the field, and from
these names a selection was anticipated.
Messrs Weller and Denver being considered,
as the vote in causus subsequently proved,
as having the most strength, their friends
were confident that each would receive the
nomination, and hence an animated contest
the nomination and would have received it
on the first ballot, if a number of representa-
tives had not violated the know wish OF
their constituents and supported Denver and
other candidates, is now well known. A few
ballots in caucus fully demonstrated the i'm
possibility of the nomination being given to
Gen. Denver, and then it was perhaps, that
the Governor elect was persuaded(O to be-
come candidate, and a union of nearly the
entire opposition to Weller was made upon
Latham, and he was nominated.
We cannot belle our feelings in this mat
ter and indu ge in congratulations on Mr..
Latham's election. He was not our choice,
nor the choice of nearly the entire Democra-
cy of Placer, for whom we presume to speak
We feel assured that had Mr.. Latham's in
tention to be candidate been known, that
intention would have been rebuked by a
great portion of the Democracy of the State,
who would have insisted upon bis retaining
the position In which they had placed him and
remained in the Executive chair to carry out
some of the promises of his inaugural mes
sage.
But the gittering prize which he has long
sought, came within his reach, and casting
aside the proud gift bestowed upon him by
more than 10000 voters of California, he
eagerly sought and accepted Senatorship
that could only be obtained by the deciding
votes Of men who knowingly misrepresented
their constituents.
Mr. Latham has committed great error;
one that will be fruitful in trouble TO him in
his future political career, or else we mis-
take human nature.

Who Originated the Project

A communication ia the Sumter Watch

enterprise. "BishopyiIle" says sit is uniyer.

men persisted in urging this matter before
the community for sometime before n seri-
Gus thought was entertained in connection
with it by single indiriduai" And pro-
poses as 4 merited compliment to these gem

road be named for them.

statements Of the writer can be abundant.
iy sustained ; they yet express an unwi.
lingness to be individually distinguished
above others, aud insist that the credit of
suggesting the undertaking be given TO
Bishop'iIle in the aggregate.
We are as willing that to the Messrs
James, or TO the Bishopville vicinity, should
be awarded this honor, as any other indi.
vldual, or section, connected with the en-
terprise but il an honor is due to the first
cOnceiver, and il is desired that he, whoever
he may be, be made known TO the public,
we respectfully insist that the claims Of
the gentleman (Jas. Stogne) whose arti-
Gle in relation'to this project, written two
years ago, was published in the last issue
of our paper, is entitled to hearing.
The position os DishopviIle in the mat.
ter has been conspicuous and she is entitled
to very high need of credit. We have al
ways understood that she was the first to
inaugurate practical NOV ement and that
the demonstration mode by her was facili-
tated and invited by the position which Lam
caster had already assumed in her determi-
nation to build railroad someVhere. But
this, we submit, is not the time TO make in
vidious comparisons. Let us build the road
first and discuss this matter Afterwards
Al who come up nobly to their duty, even
at the eleventh hour, will justly share the
honors rs well as the profits Of the enter
prise.

The New Enterprise.

Our readers are already appraised of the
fact that Il movement is on foot to build n
new railroad, connecting Charlotte, n c.
via lancaster, Sumter aud tho Nor.h-eas.
tern railroad with Charleston. 1t is to- be
called the Central Railroad of South Caro-
lima" The extracts below Indicate that i.
is TO enter into competition with the Blue
Ridge Railroad, but we do not see how
this is possible and we trust that all such
notions may be banisheI from the minds of
our friends below. The "Bue Ridge" is Il
necessity of itself; and, whilst there can be
no possible objection to the "Central," we
insist that they may not be brought into
antagonism.
The above extract We take from the Ke0-
Wee (Pickens) Courier. The friends of the
"new Enterprise" we are persuaded, do not
desire TO set it up in opposition to the Blue
Ridge Railroad. We only claim that the
State, by reason of the construction of this
road, will secure advantages to herself sim
liar to those it is expected she will receive
upon the completion of the "Bluc Ridge"
We are urging the construction of the
Central" for the benefits it will confer upon
the immediate sections through which it
will pass the benefits to the State at large,
though we believe they will be great. is
secondary matter, and sentiment of anlago.
nism to the "BIuc Ridge" is no ingredient
of this project. If this road is built first,
possibly the necessity Of the "BIue Ridge
to the State will be lessened; but there
will be room enough for the active influence
of both projects, for the day has not vet
come, and never will come, when the pcOple
OF South Carolina can say that their inter.
ests are being damaged by the existence Of
too many railroads among us.
Ours is not n State enterprise. We will
ask from the State no greater assistance
than size has extended to other roads of 4
local character and if the Blue Ridge" can
be built with or without further State aid.
the friends of the "Central" will not in n
spirit of antagonism, throw impediments in
the way. The Eastern Districts of South
Carolina feel but little interest in the "Bue
Ridge and other railroad projects, compar-
atlvely remote from us; but we are not
selfish. Live and let live" is the basis
upon which We are willing to meet all Sec
lions in the State, situated as we are.

OF this project will see from the stale
pents made, that the prospect Of success
for the accomplishment Of this grea. un.
dertaking is hey ond doubt. The people
along the line are determined 10 build
the road il not another cent is subscribed
over and above the SEAL 900. The cred.
it Of the road will enable the Directors TO
borrow money enough to complete the
work. The question was asked in the
Convention If the credit Of the Districts
through which it will pass, was not suf-
ficient to obtain the money for its compile
ton. Success 10 the road We say III as
