The South Carolina Railroad Conn
pany.

annual meeting, as shown by the re-
ports Of the officers, is almost incre-
dible tChe following summary of
the work We take from the Superin-
tendert's report, which we tird II the
Charleston Courier: The work done
on the Charleston division was six
miles; laid down the rails, rebuilt
trestles, seven cottages and two tanks,
at the various turn-outs. On Colum-
bia division, nine miles iron straight
ened and put down; 81 mile new iron
put on Singleton's Hill; 51a miles re-
built with new rails, and the balance
of the division with the rails from
the Camden branch; trestles gene
rally repaired; washes in the Conga-
rec Swamp all piled, and mostly
filed in; all the buildings absolutely
necessary, with exception of house
for pump-minder at Stilton's, re-
placed.
The work on the Hamburg branch
was ~ miles built with new rails and
32l, with old; all the turn-o outs and
necessary buildings for hands, tres
ties, bridges, &C.; bridge across Sa-
vannah River and wcatherb boarded
tracks through Augusta.
The work on the Camden branch,
which has been suspended for want
Of means, has been resumed, with q
prospect of its early completion, as
there are only fifteen miles to be re-
built, and the company has already
on hand 10000 ties and 600 rails.
We learn from the Courier that the
policy adopted by the Board Of Di-
rectors in its financial arrangements
has proven an economy of six per
cent. upon the capital stock of the
company, and was carried into exc
cution without any negotiation Of its
bonds. This fact is sustained by the
following succiuct statement of the
business Of the board for the past
year:
From passengers. .s413, 972. .53
From freight. .................. 77,516.79
From mails. ................. 20, ,349. 20

Minor . 1880. .39----s 1924 ,9O6. 80
Net income . 1887 1921 go
Or per cent. on the capital stock.
The bond debt of the company
amounts to 50, 534, 1882, of which
S2,212, 944. 46 is payable in London.
AS the foreign bond-holders have ac-
cepted the terms of renewal offered
by the company, no difficulty is ap-
pretended in the speedy adjustment
of this portion Of the debt. Of the
domestic debt, there remains the
sum Of Sl33, 6S7.50, to represent the
balance Of past due bonds and inte-
rest, and much the larger part of this
amount is in the hands of parties
quite willing to renew
These reports show that, on the
whole, the financial affairs of the
company and the condition of the
road are much better than there was
reason to expect, and reflect great
credit on the energy of the President
and untring Superintendent.

ANOTHER CASE OF MOB LAw.-The
Danville (Ky.) -Adrocote, of the 9Th,
has the following particulars of the
ynching Trowbridge few days pre-
vious:
On Tuesday night last, between II
and IL o'clock, man named Terry
Trowbridge, confined in Jail on
a charge of shooting negro in
Perryville, August, 1865, was taken
therefrom by band of ''Regulaters"
and hung in the College campus. 1t
appears that Trowbridge was bailed
at the last August term of the court,
but on Monday last his securities
gave him up for trial and he was
placed in Jail. His case was called
last Tuesday morning, and continued.
We understand that his home is at
Pottsville, in Washington County,
and that he has wife and one child,
and was formerly member Of Wool
ford's cavalry. / is charged that he
has been connected with the band of
desperadoes who have kept that
section Of country SO long disturbed.

Jack rInnnton's Crew.


The New York Ne,cs thus sum
marily disposes of the Jack Hamilton
crew, who have been playing the part
OF camp scullions to the radical party
at Washington:
The strouing mountebanks who
perambulated the North lastsummer,
exhibiting themselves as Southern
loyalists," displaying their sores and
begging aims, afterward organized,
under the patronage of radical Con
gressmen, Southern Republican
Association, which represented no
body but themselves, and had no ex-
istence outside OF Washington. This
nasty machinery has, until lately,
been used by the radicals in their
warfare upon the President. the
South and the Constitution, it being
employed by them to i'm press the
Northern mind with the belief that
there was in the South a party
which sympathized with nltra-radi-
cal;sm
This association met at Washing
ton last Wednesday evening" Jack"
Hamilton presiding. The proceed
the radical congressman have finally
comprehended the utter hlessness
Of the association and of the unprin-
clpled political scapegraces who COM
pose 1t, and have thrown them and
their sores aside. TO be sure, the
wrctches pretend that Thad. Stevens
and Gen. Butler have not utterly
abandoned them; but no one will be-
llcve this. Stevens and Butler. how
ever bad they may be, are not such
fools as not to know that Jack Hamil-
ton, Bolts and Hunnicutt. and their
dirty followers and their 'associa-
ton, are completely ''playcl out. "
Finding that they have been de
serted by their late patrons, the
honorable association now. turn upon
their bencfactorS, and rail against
them IN choice biil.n@sga,e, declar-
ing that the r2dic;, members Of the
present Congress are s'wcak.kneed:" ;"
that they ''have been dcrelict in duty
to their friends. and that they have
been ''bribcd by New York bankers
to sacrifice the country to Wall
street. We may be excused for
ih',hAiiSo tiiC passing remark u2aC no
thing would delight these Southern
loyalists one-half so much as to share
the bribes which they are ooinsigni
ficant to deserve.
knowing that the next Congress is
composed largely of the same men
who constitute the present, and they
cannot hope much from it, the de-
spairing members of the associati on
call upon the ''loyal spirits" Of the
whole country to come to the rescue
to meet Ill Washington about the 18th
of March, and to instruct Congress
to impeach the President, and give a
few pence to the starving mounte-
banks. Unless the 'tloyal spirits" do
this, these political vagabonds fear
that the next Congress "will brand
themselves before the world as set
OF poltroons and fools forever
These are evidently the last words
of the Southern loyalists." When
they first made their appearance at
the North, we exposed their scum
like character, and told the people
that the only claim which these fel-
lows could make to loyalty was,
that they had been false to both sides
during the war. Let them depart in
peace.

CoTToN OPERATIONS. A Mis- Char
lotta Hough has brought snit against
q Boston firm for money due her
from cotton speculations during the
war. She claims that she was en-
ployed by them during the rebellion
to buy cotton in the Southern States,
and 10 manipulate late Government
employees, 50 as to secure its passage
III safety through the military lines.
General Butler is one Of the counsel
for the lady, and she states that the
firm in question made 500, 900 by
these speculations through her
agency, and now refuse to 'di7ide.
There is an excellent chance here for
some Of the numerous Congressional
investigating committees pcrambulat-
ing the country to extend their Jour
neys to the town Of Boston.

Observation-Disclosures at about half
past P. NJ. difficulty occurred on
Broad street opposite the Theatre be-
tween John B. Bergman and David Par
sons, a colored hack-driver. The row COM
menced about some dispute that arose
between Mr.. Bergman and the hack
driver concerning the amount the former
owed the latter for hack hire, and ended
with blows rapidly and vigorously piled
upon Parsons head by Mr.. Bergman with
a stick. Mr.. F. Reilly, who was in his
store, came out and joined in the fracas.
The whole party were arrested by Captain
Chalkley, Sergeant Peasants, and Police
man Moore, and carried to the station

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE UNION STATION
SUNDAY SCHooL.-The society Of teachers
and scholars connected with this school
held their annual meeting on Sunday the
I'd instant. Reports were presented by
the president and treasurer, which made
very encouraging statements concerning
the prosperity Of the school. The follow
ing officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, John o. Austin; Vice
President, A. W. Richardson; Secretary,
R. S. Valentine Treasurer, Robert j.
Christian.
A prize having been offered few weeks
ago for the best original essay on the
Qualifications of a good Sabbath School
Teacher" two candidates appeared to COM
pete for the prize under the signatures of
" "Edgehill" " and "Alpha." Both offer
ing excellent articles, the society were un-
able to make distinction as to their
respective merits, and therefore voted a
prize to each Of the writer's. The anony-
nous authors being then called for, an
swercd in the persons of Messrs. A. S. Lee
and NJ. W. Lakewood. The latter was
presented with valuable Bible Dictionary
by Rev. p. A. Peterson, pastor Of the
church, in behalf of the president of the
society.
The exercises Of the meeting were Of a
varied and highly interesting character.

SUNDAY LIQUOR LAw.-On yesterday
morning the Mayor made some allusion,
during the session of his court, concerning
the incorrect reports that had been made
in some Of the papers concerning the Sun
day liquor law. The State law now in
force required everybody to have tavern
license before opening bar-room either
on Sunday or any other day, though there
was neither law nor ordinance now in force
to prevent any one having such license
from keeping open on Sunday. So that
the matter now stands just as it did before
the Sunday ordinance was passed by the
Council.
We Join with one of our city contempo-
raries in commenting the respect shown to
the Sabbath by the great majority of the
saloon-keepers of Richmond on Sunday
last in not keeping their front doors open
In point of due observance of the Sabbath
we are now superior to the inhabitants OF
the immaculate city of Bosting." They
go through the back way to get drink
because they can't go by any other, while
our people go through the back way merely
because it is Sunday.

ANOTHER NOVELTY IN ADvERTISING.-
Shrewd devices in advertising come into
notice every day, but few are better than
that of cabinet maker in London who
has impressed magazine into his service.
Readers of the CornhW may have observed
q pleasant article which recently appeared
under the title "The Fashion of Furni-
ture." 1t pointed out the want of good
taste in the design Of modern furniture,
and offered several good suggestions. An
advertisement now running through the
London papers announces that furniture
house at Covent Garden has "carried out
these suggestions, supplying cabinet work
of picturesque and artistic character"
and that most of the work "haS been de-
signed by the author of the COrnhM arti-
Gle" SO the editor of the magazine in
serted first-rate advertisement, probably
unsuspicious Of its nature, and perhaps
paid the writer handsome price for it.

LEIGH-sTREET FEAsT.-We had the plea
sure of being present at the opening of
this entertainment last night, and were
well repaid for our visit. Substantials Of
all kinds, supper in the best style, and
refreshments for warm weather, were
served with lavish hand. The beauties
of Church and Union Hills turned out in
force, much to the qualification of the
young men who were in attendance, and
with promenades, refreshments, and
lively conversation, the evening passed
away delightfully."-. Not the least of
the attractions of the feast are the
strawberries, with delicious cream, which
may be obtained for the asking, and young
ladies rivalling even the famed mattresses
of the Hollywood Bazaar are always in
readiness to wait upon gentlemen visitors.
