which makes good deal of talk, from the fact
that many congressman believe that it was tor
the purpose OF devisiDg means to force the
Senate to give then pay back to March, 1901.
Two of the gentlemen aesert, however, that
this question was not brought forward, but
that the whole object of the caucus was to Sc
cure unaninity of action on the part OF the
Southern States with reference tc the great
omnibus railroad bill reported on Saturday. 1t
IS understood, as result of the caucus, that
the Fremont line on the thirty second parallel
will be voted against, and that the Southern
senators will generally so for the bill as re-

fed with their connection by the way Of Mem

The South Carolina Railroad Company

We publish this morning full report OF
the proceedings of the adjourned meeting
of the stockholders of the South Carolina
Railroad Company, held yesterday in this
city. The proceedings will be especially
interesting, as they embrace discussion
of tariff rates, the accommodation given to
shippers, and the vexed question of the
litigation with the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company.
We believe that the statements made at
the meeting, in regard to freight accom-
modations, and the tariff will be satisfac
tory to the stockholders at large, as they
were to those present at the meeting; and in
regard to the litigation with the Augusta
Railroad, we may be permitted to say that
the debate proves how very far distant from
the truth popular reports and popular ru'
mors may be.
The South Carolina Railroad Company
has, we believe, been operated in the in
terest of its stockholders and of the whole
State. Had it confined its policy to secur-
ing the advantage of the stockholders to
the detriment of the State, or Of the low
country to the detriment of the upper dis
tricts, it could never have received ut our
hands the unqualified suppo,. which we now
give to the President aud Directors Of the
| company. TIE NEWS was not silent when it
was thought that the public had reason for
complaint, and it cannot be silent now that
there is so much in the management of he
company to approve of and praise.
