The Veto OF the city Charter Bill.


We print to-day in our telegraphio COL
umn the message of Governor SooTT vetoing
the bill to amend the charter Of the City Of
Charleston.
There is no doubt that an election in
Charleston at this time would excite even
more trouble and distrust than Governor
ScoTT seems to apprehend ; and if that cleo
ton were held by virtue of an act which
offered premium to fraudulent and illegal
voting, and placed resident citizens under
the control Of newly imported swarm Of
country freedmen, the consequences could
not fail to be such as would be deprecated
by any lover of peace, order and security.
Governor Sco1r, in this instance, has
acted with sagacity and prudence, aud has
shown that he can 80 far rise above partisan
feeling as to judge Of measure BY its
merits and probable effects, rather than :ac-
cording to the hopes and wishes of some
few violent spirits amongst his political sup
porters. ;..;-

from her position as the head Of the German
nations of Europe and driven back upon her
Slavonic possessions. Prussia prides herself
greatly upon this feat, but Austria is still de-
termined to remain German in her principal
characteristics, and is using every e1ertlon 10
establish German colonies in the heart OF Bo-
hemia and Gallica. The Iuvalide Russo, the
organ of the Russian War Cffice, says that the
Austrian Government, in pursuance OF law
passed in the last session of the Reichsrath,
has lust sold extensive crown estates in CALI
cia and Bohemia for 81, $50, 900, and some iron
mines in Styria for $S,97O,0O0. Galicia and
Bohemia protested against this sale, as it had
not been approved by their respective Diets,
but the government disregarded their protests.
The esgerness Of Austria to carry out her
measures was also exhibited in the conditions
of the sale. Instead of conducting the sale
by public auction, and in small lots, as is usual
in such cases, the government disposed of the
estates privately to Prussian capitalists, al
though the local authorities had offered high
or price for them. These Prussians will, it is
asserted, introduce colonists from the Rhine
and the Hartz, and in this way Germanize the
Bohemian and Slayonic countries.
The railroad track layer now in use IN Cali
fornia is said to operate successfully, and
places the iron rails in position at the rate OF
one mile per day, though some c. the work has
been done at the rate Of two miles in twelve
hours. The machine is q car sixty feet long
and ten feet wide. It has small engine on
board for handling the ties and rails. The
ties are carried on common freight car be-
hind, and conveyed by an endless chain over
the top OF the machine, laid down in their
places on the track, and when enough are laid
a rail is put down on each side in a proper posi-
ton, and spiked down. The track layer then
advances and keeps on it's work until the load
of ties and rails Ii exhausted, when other car
loads are brought. The machine is driven
ahead by locomotive; and it is stated the
work is done so rapidly that six men are re-
quired to wait on it, but it is asserted that they
do more work than twice as many could do by
the old system, and the work is done quite as
well. The chief contractor on the Vallejo and
Sacramento railroad, where the machine is In
use, gives it as his opinion that when the ma
chine is improved by making few changes in
the method Of handling rails aud ties, it will
Re able to put down five or six miles per day.

TZ,e Fall Trade.

Notwithstanding the customary depress-
ing influence of sn approaching Presiden-
tial election, there is good reason to be-
lieve that in the North aad West, as in the
South, the fall trade will be brisk and &C.
tive. The full swing of trade may be
somewhat late in showing itself, but this
arises from causes other than dullness and
want of commercial confidence.
The change in the credit system from six
or eight months time to ten, thirty or sixty
days, has done its part in postponing the
opening of the season, while the general
use now made Of the telegraph and express
companies has done more towards securing
the same result. Large houses in the inte-
rior which have their agencies in New York,
now use the telegraph daily, and purchases
of goods are made no longer in advance Of
the time when their distribution should
commence than is absolutely necessary.
Saving of time BY the use Of the telegraph
and express systems is saving Of credit;
and there are so many different means Of
communication that slow lines or cheap
lines, at low freights or high freights, can
be taken advantage of as the situation per-
mits.
There should not, then, be any disap-
pointment if the Northern and Western fall
trade does not begin as early as it did when
the means of communication with the inte-
rior were limited and uncertain. The won
derful advantages which the merchants now
possess enable them to delay their purchases
for three, four or five weeks, according to
the distance of their places of business
from the great centres of trade. The South
cannot go into the market until they are
assured of the measure of their success in
planting, and Southern buyers must be
somewhat backward as long as the pros
poets of their section are enshrouded with
the least uncertainty.
In the South the prospects are fairly
bright, and in the North the sky is equally
clear. Our cotton is likely to bring fair
rates, and the market for cereals which will
be wanting in the South on account of our
abundant crops of grain, will be found in
Great Britain. In that country there is a
scarcity of grain, and the shipments already
made from San Francisco to European mar
kets prove that a healthy drain from this
side has already begun. The prairies of
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas will supply
any deficiency which may occur in Texas
and New Mexico, and fill up any vacuum
caused by foreign shipment from California.
The return trade from the West will come
to the East in the purchase of dry goods,
hardware, agricultural implements, ma
chinery, and boots and shoes, and both East
and West will draw from the Southern
States their supplies of the great Southern
staples Looking, then, to the approaching
fall trade, we do SO with the confidence that
there is no reason to anticipate any other
than fairly live and profitable season.
