Is IT soi-FRrIGnr ON RALRoAps.-we
hear great complaints against the exorbi-
tant freights on tho South Carolina Rail-
roads. Our merchants have laid in
very heavy stocks this Spring, but a
very email portion of them have been
transported over the Soathern roads 1t is
cheaper to send produce to South Carolina
by wagon and return without loading, and
send empty wagons to Greenville, Tenn, for
goods than 10 have them shipped over the
South Carolina roads. 1t costs as much,
for freight or passage, from Greenville, S.
c., to Charleston, as from Greenville, Tenn,
to. Baltimore, and the latter trip can be
made in less time. We know Of thousan nds
Of dollars Of freight lost to the South Care
lima roads this Spring. by high freights
This ought not TO be, for we prefer trad
ing with Charleston 10 any other point, but
are driven from there by high freight.

WASHINGTON. June l3.


The drawing for the jury for Surratts
trial is progressing. The panel will most
probably be completed to day. Tho Intel
ligenccr, WHICH Is regarded rs the Executive
organ, Inns the following;
1--WE have authority for the statement
that, at a very recent consultation of the
Cabinet, il was decided that tho military
officers in command of the five districts into
which the ten unrepresented Southern
States are divided have no power to remove
civil officers deriving their authority from
the State Governments, rs now organized
The question, we understand, before the
Cabinet, had more immediate refer enoe 10
the removal Of the Gov rnor and other civil
officers Of the State OF Louisiana by General
Sheridan, but. OF course, will apply TO the
action of the other four commanders. No
doubt the forthcoming opinion of the At
torney- General, in accordance with the
reasoning Of which, it is understood, the
decision referred 10 was arrived at, will
fully justify the legality and propricty Of
this determination. IL scarcely need be
suggestcd that the issuing of orders replac.
Ing the deposed officers, (Which may become
necessary, as consequence OF this decision
of the Government,) would be no ground
for application, on the part Of General
Sheridan, to be relieved from the position
he holds; much less would it warrant the
inference that the Administration contem-
plates or desires his removal for his errors.
We feel authorized to say that the specula.
lions OF sensational journals upon this point,
however they may be attempted..to be sup
ported by imagined political manouvres
on the part Of either the friends or enemies
Of the General, are wholly without found
alton"
It'll almost certain that the acts of District
Commanders wherein they have transcend.
ed nominations OF the law will be reversed,
and the power Of the Provisional Governors
be restored, and that functioaaries of Pro-
visional Governments will hereafter only bt
removed by court-martial or Act of Con
gress. This is the decision Of the Cabinet
Stanton only dissenting by silence. The
probable resignation of District Command
ers under these reyersals and restraints wa:
discussed. Such action was apprehended
and deplore6. The point was made, how
ever, that these District Commanders were
soldiers on duty. and that however unpleas
ant the duty, they cannot abandon their
posts.

Gen. GRANTS opinions, if we may

In thought, breadth of judgment,
prudence and frmness, his mind
much resembles that of Mr.. LIN

" IT turns out that the Virginia Con-
sentative chaps attempted to play a
sharp trick on some of the Lynch
burg negroes, in connection with the
last election. The Tennessee & Vir-
GINA Railroad hired FIVE hundEed ne
groes at Lynchburg, ten days before
the election, to go one hundred and
seventy-nine miles to work, with the
stipulation that they should have free
transportation back to vote. After
reaching their destination, return
transportation was denied, even by
payment of fare. The whole party,
however, started back on foot, and all
reached Lynehburg in time to vote.
. The project seems to have been less
successful than certain shade tree"
operation performed in this city,
few years back, which is remembered
by many Of our citizens.

GEN. HANCOCK is bidding high for
the Democratic. denomination for Presi-
dent. His General Orders since he
assumed command Of the Department
ofxLouisianaindicate most. unmistak-
ably an intention to again place that
State in the hands of the old rebel
element. Nothing that he can do
will more highly recommend him to
the Democratic party. Through the
assistance of prominent politicians,
his own personal relations, in Penn
sylvania he hopes to receive the votes
of New York and Pennsylvania in
the Convention, and add to them the
votes of all the late rebellious States,
who, of course, will be represented
in the Convention and contribute
toward designating its candidates. In
this way, he expects to flank Mr.
PENDLEToN-although mounted on
his greenback hobby-and clutch the
prize which the latter gentle
man IS already contemplating as
his legitimate property. His friends
will plead his war record to catch un-
suspecting Republican gudgeons, and

there is a possibility. of running
him in. .---.....
