Greenville and Columbia Railroad
We extract the following from the
Greenville Enterprise, and congratu-
late the officers of the Company on
their success:
We learn that the bridge over the
Broad River, at Aston, upon which
tho Company's efforts have for so
long time been directed, has at last
been completed, the first train cross
ing the early part of this week.
This is consnmmation upon which
the public viii congratulate them
selves, as well as President Hammett,
rs the inconvenience and delay so
long endured by passengers, when
reaching that point, will be entirely
removed.
We have been assured that in o
short time Mr.. Hammett, who has q
great and feeling consideration of the
wants and necessities of the people,
and especially of the poorer classes,
will direct o reduction of the freights
of the road materially, and more par
ticularly with reference to provisions
and articles of prime necessity. In
this those who now find such difficult
sy in supplying themselves and fami-
lies with sustenance, will have cause
to hold up their hands in gratitude to
Mr.. H. In anticipation of this,
prices have, within the last few days,
fallen 20 per cent. Corn, selling a
week ago at $3.50, can be procured
now at 81; bacon, which had been
selling at 80 cents per pound, was
offered on the streets, on Friday, in
small lots, at 21 cents.
Heretofore, the rates ON the road
were necessarily high, as the Com
pany have had much to encounter
and contend with in heavy charges
for the transportation of all goods
crossing the river. The schedule be-
tween this and Columbia will soon he
changed, and the entire line will be
run over in less space of time.
thereby insuring another relief TO the
public.

Gen. Stoncnann.

We published, on Thursday, the
remarks of Gen. Forrest on taking
the chair of the great ratification
meeting at Memphis. Below, we
give brief report of a speech from
Gen. Stoneman, who was also present
at this meeting:
FRIENDS AND FRLLow-CouSTRYM
You have called before you, not O
partizan or politician, but simple
citizen of the Government of the
United States, knowing no North,
no South, no East, no West. The
war in which the people of this great
est of all countries has been engaged
during the past eventful years is end
ed-the issues upon which that war
was based are settled. If there is
anything to forgive, let it be for
given; if there is anything to be for
got, let it be forgotten. Let us all
recolect that we have but one coun-
try and one flag. The object for
which we are all assembled here to-
night is, as / undcrstaMaHt, recon
struction and reunion. You may
force separated man and wife to
live in the same house, lodge in the
same room, but they will never be
reunited as man and wife until they
have first become reconciled. J. said
the war was ended. AS we were ene-
mics in war, let us be again friends;
and in this sentiment l know that
none will join me more heartily than
the gallant and distin guished presi-
dent of this assemblage. The bravery
that was displayed during the past by
each one engaged in the war, let it be
the common property Of NIL. We
soldiers who did the fighting are re-
conciled, and want peace and harmo-
ny, and we call upon you editors and
orators of the land to aid us with
your pens and tongues. Preachers
of the Gospel, whose solemn obliga-
ton is to preach peace and good will,
Q ask your prayers and invocations,
I'D from you, politicians, we de
mand that you shall cease your
wrangling and allow the good work
to go on until our object is attained
And you, fair maidens and noble ma
irons, who, daring the fighting,
cheered MS with your smiles and
frightened US with your frowns. lend
rs the potency of your power in the
accomplishment OF awork so laudable
and so noble. AS I am not a candi-
date for your suffrages, nor never ex-
pect to be, nor ever cast vote for
President in my life, you will not ex-
pect me to define my position; but
this much I will say: have been %
member of club for near quarter
of century, and which was organized
three-quarters of century ago. BY
the Constitution of that club, its Pre-
sident is elected every four years

e sae Members & the tEf.Si:isssse.


GENTLEMEN: You are now acting
under great pressure. Popular cla-
NOR, pity; Tor the distress Of our peo-
pie, individual indebtedness among
yourselves, and that :thiryt for popu-
larity which rules too many-all nre
operating to make you fail to give a
proper regard to la'c and justice. But IL
proper sef-respect is of more value
to o true man than q short-ived
popularity, that often, in the end,
produces for it's possessor contempt,
and contempt only. IL you aim at
true, lasting popularity. do you'' d'tt.y.
In this spirit you must meet all
the claims for stay laws and other
measures intended to obstruct the
course of the law. Great harm has
already been done by tho late stay
law; be careful that you do not entail
further and greater ills upon the
State by hasty and ill-advised legis-
lation. It is proposed in the House,
''2. Abolition of imprisonment for
debt either on mesne or final pro-
cess" What does this mean? Does
not everybody know that we have no
imprisonment for debt, properly So
called, except for the debtor con-
victed of dishonesty, or who will not
give up his unleviable property for
the payment of his just debts? Under
our humane laws, no honest debtor
can be confined for more than ten,
days; if he has any friends, he cannot
be confined q single day. Is our Le-
gislature to pass laws for the benefit
of the dishonest? t,f
Let the following have some consi-
deration: BY our bail process and
ca. sa,, notes and other chooses in &C
ton, and, in general, oil property not
subject to levy, are made liable for
ones debts. You can constitution
ally abolish all imprisonment of the
person by itself considered; but if, al
the same time, you do not provide
some way by which the above stated
unleviable property can be reached,
you impair the obligation of all ex-
isting contracts.
Again, you can pass no exemption
law that will affect past contracts
Again, you can pass no bankrupt law
discharging the debtor from all liabil
ity for any debt contracted precioms
TO the passage of such law, beyond a
now provided. It may be well fol
| the present exemption law to be en-
larged, and for bankrupt law to bt
passed enabling n debtor, upon the
surrender of all his property, to be
discharged from all his debts; but i
is useless for you to attempt to MAKE
these laws apply 10 already existing
contracts. They must be prospective
in their operation. WOLSEY.

Phe folloNing srticle is from the

always knows what it says. especially

The journals of the radical dis,
union paxt that are so clean gone in
reckless paftizanship as to strike
blindly, without respect to facts.
lSeem,- as the Cincinnati GOn,snegc;al
says, to watch closely the acts of
Gen. Grant Do they remember
that he incurred great censure from
the disunionists, when he paroied
the armies Of Lee and Johnston, al
lowing them to go home, where they
should not be disturbed?1 Do they
remember his report, so long ago as
last December, in respect to the con-
dition and feeling of the Southern
people, which was denounced in the
Senate by leading radicals, Mr..
Sumner characterizing it as q white
washing concern?' Do they call to
mind his recommendation for the re-
lease OF State prisoners, whom Mr..
Holt's suborned witnesses charged as
pd,'ticeps crinsi7efs in the assassina-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln? Theysay that he
declined accompanying the President
in his tour to Chicago. That false
hood has had short life. They say
that he was cntrapped into the com
pany of the National Union delegates
at the Executive Mansion, on the oc-
casion of their address to the Presi-
dent and his reply. What are the
facts? If Gen. Grant was summoned
by the President on business, he
knew where to go. It was the Exc
cutive Chamber and not the East
Room, which was packed by a crowd
to witness the ceremony and hear the
speeches. We will state reliably
what occurred. A gentleman present,
who knew Gen Grant personally (he
was not in uniform) volunteered to
get him through the crowd. It gave
way when it was stated that Gen.
Grant was the party desiring to go
forward. When through the crowd,
he took his stand Immediately at the
side of the President, amid great
cheering, which was earnestly joined
in by the Southern delegates. because
they sincerely admire him, not only
as q soldier, but for his kind acts, be-
fore stated in this article. When the
ceremony was closed, he cordially in
terchanged civilities generally, an d
shook hands with the leading persons
present, including the Southern dele
gates.
eve allude to all this mainly to
correct the public mind, if it has been
wrongly impressed by any mean and
malignant statements of the enemies
OF the President of the idea that Gen.
Grant, in his relations to the Presi-
dent, has acted otherwise than rs q
gentleman, or to the Southern dele
gates other than in consistence with
his previous great public acts of gen
erosity and charity to rebels in arms.
We have no idea that the radical dis
unionists have any aid or comfort
from him in their more suspected de-
signs to break up the Government il
the elections go against them this
autumn"

Sunday Morning, September 9. 1865.

A Sensible Address.
The Danville (Va.) Ne,cs contains
an interesting report of ON address
recently delivered to the freedmen of
that city by Lucius July, one of their
number, formerly slave.
The object Of the. address, the
Neacs says, was to impress upon the
minds Of the freedmen the impor-
tance of a correct understanding Of
their true relations to The white men
of the South, whom he represented
rs being their only true friends. He
strove to show them the necessity Of
cultivating friendly relations with
the whites, by course Of life which
would entitle them to their kind con
sideration, and make it their interest
to reclaim them as laborers, instead
of employing foreign immigrants
who are docking into the country.
Their only chance now, he urged,
was to depend on their own industry,
honesty and frugality, without which
they must become more deeply de-
graded than ever, and their race ul-
timately extinct.
The most striking part of his ad-
dress is that in which he criticiscs
and ridicules the forced and unnatu-
raj zeal of Northern emissaries, who
profess to be the only friends of the
race, and this was received by every
manifestation of delight and ap-
plauso by his audience. The New
York World, in noticing this very in
teligent and sensible address, says:
'sWhat this sensible and honest
freedman preached to his fellows, is
only what would have represented
the feeling of the entire colored popu-
lation of the South, had fanatical
emissaries never been sent among
them to poison their minds against
those who must always be their
neighbors, if not their employers,
and to fill them with all sorts of false
notions, foreign to their nature or
desires, and which they can never
hope to see realized"
We hail these evidences of good
sense, among the freedmen, with
great pleasure. They assure us that,
notwithstanding the efforts which
have been made to demoralize them
and lead them astray, there is still q
correct idea left amongst the most
intelligent, of their true position and
their just relations towards those
with whom they are associated in the
business of everyday life. The more
Of such healthful reaction among
themselves and the less of Freed
mems Bureau interference, the sooner
will the difficult question of labor
and capital be satisfactorily adjusted
in the South.
We trust that July's example will
be followed by the intelligent freed
men among us, and in every section
of the South. By adopting and fol
lowing it, they will more effectually
secure the peaceful enjoyment O.
their rights, than by the operation O
thousand civil rights bills-passeG
by their. canting and hypocritica
friends in the radical Congress.
