SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROADS AND Sc
1JTR T1JEH

a1"An Observer" in our issue OF this mormn g.
quotes the present market value OF certain tall
road and Corporation Securities in Georgia, and
considers them evidence of the able manageme Mt
Of such enterprises;in our sister State, while at
the same time he desires to learn il our own 1las
proyementB and securities Of the same kind Will
be able to show as fattering co ntitlon e''s% '
At present there are many causes to prevent
the bonds and stocks issued in this State from
ranking as high as those Of Georgia and, among
others, We would mention that, having greater
extent Of fertile land, land more rapid increase
Of population, her railroads have met with lar
ger amount of business aud have been Dettor
supported With the exception Of the Hamour rg
Rranoh of the South Carolina Road, most OF our
roads hayb no profitable competing roads, or are
in such; an incomplete, condition as to work to
great disadvantage The City of Augusta was in
the most flourishing condition during the entlre
war, and has been doing very profitable Dusi-
ness since. Savannah also suffered but little, and
since the war, in consequence Of the advantages 9
enjoyed by the navigation of the Savannah river,
her commerce has been most fourishlng.
Charleston was largely destroyed by ire, thou
sands of her buildings were damagedib 10y shells,
and her communications with the interior having
been destroyed, her business passed almost en-
tirely into the hands Of her noighbors. 1t will
take time and energy to rectify these evils. bu
we hope our public men and those occupying po-
sitions of responsibility will be fohndequal to the
emergency. ss.5 '=5s4''
We do not wish to be understood, however, as
attributing all our present shortcomings in The
management of business affairs to circumstance 3
which ware beyond our control. little additional
energy and determination would, no doubt, mu ch
as,ist our onward progress; and it we do not
speedily exert such qualities, there are business
communities near US which will profit at our ex :
pense. Our railroads should be managed quite
as much for the public benefit for private profit
and more enlarged spirit will have to character
ize their future policy il they wish to attain sue.

dependent upon him. He has, besides, other
family debts, and sdebts of the heart, and debts
of honor; and he cannot bring himselfto think
that all these sacred claims, unsatisfed, are to be
entombed with him. .Z@
It is estimated that LAMART1NE, since the coup
(petat, has expended from five to six millions OF
francs. NJ. M1REs, when editor of the CiUllsdteur,
assisted him often, when in difficulty; and the
total amount paid him, or for him, by NJ. M1REs is
noarly 700, 900 francs The Entreens, for the last
ten years, have annually brought LAMART1NE
150 900 francs. The forty volumes of the complete
edition of his works, have netted him something
over u million; 80 with his later works, I'D Vie
de lord Byron" and his Flor d'Ahza )" these all
have brought him large returns.
Yet it is said the poet is very simple and frugal
in his habits and that his debts are more due to
his want of ssmanagement'' than to wasteful ex-
travagance or habits of luxury. He became early
acquainted with the fatal art of borrowing; and
finding this an easy method OF disembarrassibg
himself of an importunate dun, he resorted to it
on the least provocation- borrowed from Peter
to pay Paul, and paying the apostolic rates usual
on such occasions. What would old SAM. JOHNSON M J,
say to LAMAnrzNE's balance sheet, when he was
surprised, almost past recovery, at the amount Of
GoLDsM1rHs debts, and at the extent to which
poor NoL1 had been trusted '- - - .= =.
The present age can hardly be deemed unmind-
full of the merits and claims Of literary men. The
considerations, both Of honor and emolument,
awarded them by grateful and admiiring public
give abundant proof of this. And no country, we
believe, has been more liberal to her men Of let
tors. science eil, Or art, than France And I'VE can
need no higher evidence of this fact than the brief
narrative just given, where it is shown that, after
all the favors already heaped upon the poor old
poet, the nation is unwilling to see him suffer in
his old age, and offers to boatow upon him an an
iiual sum Of $4,000, and to continue to pay him
handsomely for his writings besides. We have
here, in vivid contrast, a very pleaang and very
mournful spectacle: Lberaland grateful France,
and hard-up, begging IAMARr1SE ~. ~, .

The work of the Legislature appears to
be progressing finely and thus far with I'M
usual despatch, and the Legislature is thus
making good record for ITSELF There
is considerable discussion on the election
of u. S. Senators, and our private advices
seem to agree that Mr.. Morrill, will be
elected for the long term, without oppose
ton, Judge Poland for The short term, and
Mr. Edmunds to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of DIR. Foot. The
joint resolution introduced in the House
by Mr.. johnson OF this town, inviting the
members of Congress from this State to
address the Legislature on the proposed
constitutional amendment, is a good thing,
and will give the candidates good oppor-
tunity to speak for themselves, and we see
that our Congressman have accepted and
will address the Legislature on Wednes-
day evening of next week,
In the House on Wednesday, Mr.. But
terrified of Grafton, introduced joint reso-
buttons in favor of impartial suffrage, and
that Congress should give impartial suf-
frage in the District of Columbia as early
as possible at its next session, and instruct
ing our senators and representatives in
Congress for the attainment of this object.
