their cotton and other produce ,
weighed at the depots, to having it
weighed at another place, where
they would have Ito pay for tho
weighing, besides being taxed with
drayage; and that, by giving to the
agents this perduisite. the company
could procure their services at a less
salary, Cooking solely to an econo-
mical management of the road0 and
that it would indirectly be to the
interest of the company. as we'll as
TO the convenience. of the shipper.
It was never intended that anything
should be charged for the weighing
of freights for shipping purposes, as
we have been informedupon inquiry.
but only when requested by shippers
for their own satisfaction-for the
purpose of buying or selling. For
instance, q buyer and seller of cotton
meet; the purchase is made, and it is
agreed to have it weighed by the
agent at the depot, for. the purpose
of settlement between themselves in
lieu of having it weighed at aware
house or other. place, where charge
for weighing would be made; then,
under the resolution above referred
to, the agent was permitted to charge,
but in no other way. We are not
aware that this has been violated; if
so, and it is brought to the know
ledge of the President. or Superin-
tendent, the charges, we are conf
dent, will be promptly returned by
the agent SO violating it. Cotton is
now shipped by the bale,' without
reference to the weight and SO is
grain. Therefore, there is. no neces-
sity for the agent to weigh it for
shipping purposes; and if weighed at
all by the agent, it must be done at
the request of the .shipper-which
may be an accommodation to
the parties interested; or, under the
resolution, he may be permitted to
charge the prices stipulated in it.
The company does not require the
agent to charge, but only permits
him to do so-collecting the charge
from the shipper himself; but not, in
any case. adding it to the freight
charges. t

given to show why the impeachment
of Mr.. johnson is necessary. Mr..
Ashley declares. that impeachment
will prove that his (Ashley's)c: record
!, on the subject is0correct; Mr.. Butler
says that it will hold up the Presi-
dent as q. ,''quivering sinner," the
New York Tribune says that "there
ere ere moral reasons for the act-and
SO on. But now comes Wendell
Phillips with his reason. This is
~'heoause the man, either by his
wishes or his peryerseness, had set
himself up systematically to save the
South from the verdict of history
and from the necessity'of the epoch
in which we are living. This is his
great crime" If this be so, We
would suggest that it should have
been incorporated as twelfth (?)
article by the managers. ''I do not
CARE" says Mr.. Phillips, whether
Andrew johnson has slipped on the
statute or. not" The great crime is
'ssaying the South from the verdict
of history AS there have been so
many confident guesses as to what
Mr.. Johnsons crime is, it is; no, more
than fair to add Mr.. Phillips theory
to the rest, for the behoof of the
Senate. One shudders at the hide
GUS turpitude which Mr.. Phillips
thus sets forth. A writer in the
National lntelligencer is of opinion
that Macaulay, after all, is mainly
responsible for the whole impeach-
ment business. His magnificent de-
scription of the arraignment and
trial of Warren Hastings has fasci-
mated and fred the souls of good
many of our prominent public men,
who think they have fair chance of
having their names made immortal,
in connection with similar proceed
ing here. But the New York Times
thinks that there are several things
lacking, however. to such consum
nation. We have neither the same
actors nor the same criminal; and we
shall also lack the historian. This
impeachment is more likely to be a
caricature than copy of that. The
Immortality of a caricature is not
always to be coveted.
It may not be generally known,
says the New Orleans Times, that
Thad. Stevens, the great champion
of '..the law" las interpreted by
radical Congress,) was once the
leader and head of an effete rebel
lion in Pennsylvania, familiarly called
the 'Buokshot War" It ended in
one short campaign, the only nota-
BILE event connected with which was
leap out of window by Stevens
and his fellow-conspirators, who pre-
ferred the integrity of their own
constitutions to that of the State. In
his war bulletins to his followers,
Thaddeus then advised them to
''treat the election as if it had not
been held" 1t might occur to the
more sorrowful and less rebellious
people of this section, to borrow this
leaf from the record of Thaddeus, to
treat the despotic enforcement of
negro suffrage on the community as
invalidating the elections, and there
fore regard them rs never having
been held. BY this course, the Ill
tegrity of society would at least be
preserved, if not the Congressional
requirements of the Government.
We might also find another prece-
dent for such q course in the passage

Who IS HE?-Inquiry has been
made as to the identity of man
claiming to be a native of this State,
who was lynched in Columbia, Tenn,
for the murder of Mr.. Bicknell, of
that place, during the late war. The
following particulars of his execu-
tion are published in the Nashville
Union and Dispatch, of the 5th inst,
and q confirmation of his alleged
nativity, but no clue, as to his real
name:
every little is known in regard to
Walker. He said to Rev. Mr.. OFT,
who visited his cell on Tuesday, that
he was native of South Carolina,
and that he had served in South
Carolina regiment of the Confederate
army during the war, mentioning the
number of the regiment and the
name of his colonel. The reverend
gentleman himself being a South
Carolinian, found the statements of
the prisoner in regard to his native
State correct in every particular.
His real name was neither Walker,
Watts nor Pitts, though he had, at
different times, passed by those
names. He refused to give his name,
or anything more of his previous
history, saying that his mother was
still living, and that should she ever
hear of his terrible fate, it would
break her heart He was man of
fine education, though of forbidding
appearance, and seems to have COM
mitted the crime, which he has so
fearfully expiated, in fit of despe-
ration induced by misfortunes he had
brought upon himself"

The GREENvHLE AND Columbia
RAILROAD AGA1N.-For the satisfac-
tion of our correspondent, "Old
StoclSholder," /" who propounded seve-
raj interrogatories relative to the
affairs of this road, in response to an
article published in the Phenir, of
the Goth ult., we have made inquiries,
and feel confident that the explana-
tion given below will prove satisfac-
tory. The article in Saturdays
Picnic, as before stated, was penned
without the knowledge OF the officers
of the railroad company, and was
melted by occasional personal obser-
vations of the working of the road.
First. as to the freight charges. The
Greenville and Columbia Railroad is
long one, being now, with its
Misunderstanding the Blue Ridge
Road from Anderson to Walhalla-
1876 miles. 1t is not connected with,
nor does it form part of any great
through line for either transportation
or travel; all its business is local, and
consequently its charges must .neces-
sarily be heavier, to enable the road
to sustain itself, than if it formed a
part of great through line, over
which the travel and business of an
extensive region of country passed.
Besides, since the war, the impover-
ished condition of the country
through which the road passes has
greatly reduced the amount Of bust
ness which, under more favorable cir
cumstances, would have been offered
to it. The managers of the road
have used every possible means
within their power, we verify believe,
to bring business to the road, and to
increase its income and usefulness.
Their object, as we have been led to
believe, has been at all times to
adopt such a rate of charges as in
their judgment would bring to the
road the greatest amount of income,
and at the same time afford to the
community patronizing it the great
est facilities and accommodations.
President Hammett has urged this
idea upon the directors ever since his
connection with the road. Their
charges-especially upon cotton and
grain-we think will compare very
favorably, and are quite as low as the
local charges on any road in the
South-we mean roads not forming q
part of any great through line.
When it has become evident to the
managers that the charges on any
description of freights amounted to
prohibition, or were oppressive to
its patrons, the rate has been prompt
ly reduced, as we are informed. AS
to the charges for Weighing cotton at
