GENERAL SICKLES In SOUTH
CAROLINA

NAAAOA&AsA@
We call attention to the order OF Major
General Daniel E. sickles, commanding the
Department Of South Carolns, elsewhere
puhlishcd. Il will bs remembered that, near
the opening of Congress, Secretary Seward,
fvRstructions from The President, directed
the ProStsional eso'csnofs Of several sta'es'
including South Carolina 10 transie! tnels
Offices TO the so-calied coeSutu'aonany
elected authorities OF Inc slste, Win sanons
rhetorical Aourishcs destined 10 convey Inc
impression that The President would Aold Tue
nen' State officers to be the officers oi daly
constituted State, us much 20 as those Of New
York or Illinois, whether Congress should
a;,rce With him or not. a. the lannon's
"Black code" recently passed In South
Carolina, remains still unrepealed upon

Alderman ShAck11rd, in defending the ma
iority report relative 10 the admission Of the
Northern Railroad into the city, makes hut
one real point, viz: that the property owners
within the city on the line Of the proposed
route are opposed to IL. No doubt many Of
them are, and doubtless al1 those clements ot
opposition are carefully drummed into the
field By the friends Of the Northwestern Rail-
road, with whose monopoly Of the carrying
trade Of the Northwest the new competitor
would seriously interfere. The question Is
simply, whether the interests Of these proper
~ Owners, II they have any adversr to the in
PRODUCTION Of another railroad, should ont
weigh the interests Of the entire remaining
population of Chicago; and whether the mon
opoly Of tie Northwestern Railroad should
be bo1stered up, III violation Of the rights of
the people OF the Northwest. Chicago and
the Northwest need cheap ttelghts. In order
to have cheap freights We need competing
railroad routes and no ono company needs
such healthy competition so much as the
Chicago d Northwestern. The absence Of
such cn1npetition injures the trade Of Chicago,
and by iniuriug our trade. injures the value
Of our property. It does the sanae for the
farmers Of Northern Illinois, Southern Wis
consin, and Minnesota. The Northern Rail-
road offers TIE rcmedy--a natural and
healthy competition. Shall We accept or re-
fuse It. It We do not accept 1t, 1t will be
said that Chicago Is owned and cou-
tsolled by the Northwestern Railroad Com
pnny the new enterprise will find
its terminus in Milwaukee,. and wAas-
ever trade a great line Of Railway
would have brought into the city will he d.
yegted to another channel. II has not been
by this policy In the past, that Chicago has
secured TO herself the metropolitan position
she now enjoys
Undoubtedly the privilege the Northwest
| erp and Ga1ena roads have, for running cleal
through North Water street to the lake, Is Q
great ineuurenience to the peop1c living on
| lne North Side; but because that road has
nov ono or two monopolles, which 1t onght
not to have, shall we gire 1t In addition mo-
nopoly Of the right to enter Chicago from the
Northwests We respect the interests OF
those owning property on the proposed route
| and desire to sec them projected. but We be-
iieye that very few Of thou Owl property
thereon of a character to be injured By admit
ting the proposed road. and that most Of them
viii be greatly benefited thereby. Certainly
II damages arc to be assessed the benefits
should be charged as well. This question Il
not narrow, personal Issue, nor one affect,
ing fcw Individuals, but the broad and I'm.
portant question Is whether the Common
Council of Chicago shzll seek to protect The
business and interests Of the entire city from
1nonopo1iss, by encouraging competition
among the means Of transportation which con

at last been discovered which will tako the

discovery Us follows:
The Important position which the lately

taken In commerce Is very interesting In
Itself, as suggesting how quickly this discov-
cry ,f any new principle Of motion would e1-
ercise m Important influence on the
present state OF eux ev., industry: IT. Another
which, . though OF less importance
thn.1 that Of petroleum, Is still Interesting In
character, and 20 useful as regards an IMPORT
ant article OF manufacture, that We think our
eadezs will be glad to receive the following
Information On the subject. Weallude to the
discovery lately made Of the applicability OF
to-" to the manufacture Of paper. III. LLOYD
Of the Nalthamstow Paper Mills, is stated TO
have had o great share 10 the merit Of this dis
coStry and Mr.. Mark, the British Consul at
Malaga, has drawn up an interesting report
On this subject, which has lately been made
public In the commercial reports. This grass
Is the produce ofwaste lands-it requires no
expense in cultivation and little in collecting.
It Is best propagated from the roots aud not
