in the climate to prevent those resources
from being turned to the best account.
But, beyond this, we may speak with
pleasure of our system Of internal commu-
| nication; for South Carolina, which built the
first long line of railroad in theUnited States,
is now busily engaged in extending her
railroad system and perfecting her commu-
nications. The great Blue Ridge Railroad,
the direct road to the West, is in fair way
Of completion. The South Carolina Rail
road is bringing freight daily from st.
Louis, Memphis, Mobile, Vicksburg and
New Orleans. The Savannah and Charles
ton Railroad, which, with the Northeastern
Railroad, completes the direct seacoast line
of railroad travel from Portland, Maine, to
tho Gulf, will be opened throughout in less
than twelve months. Aud this is not all.
Charleston, the metropolis of South Caro-
lima, is one of the finest seaports on the
Atlantic coast. From her wharves can be
seen the broad billows of the ocean. Her
harbor is open at all seasons, and upon her
bar is sufficient depth of water for vessels
of the capacity of four thousand and FIVE
thousand bales Of cotton. Charleston is
the natural outlet for the trade of the West,
| and when the Southern Pacific Railroad is
built-and it will be,built!-the commerce
Of the Indies and of the Pacific coast will
flow to Charleston, there to pass, not to
New York, but directly to Bremen, Havre
and Liverpool. In ten years time this shall
be accomplished.
A few werds now as to the character Of
our people. No one will doubt that South
Carolina was highly prosperous before the
war; no one will doubt that ours was q des-
perate condition when the war came to an
end. But, as we have showed in prece-
ding article, the people were not daunted
or cowed. They went at once to work, they
worked hard, they kept on working, and
Notwithstanding the disturbing and danger
Gus influences of party politics, they pro-
duced last year cotton, rice, corn and other
products to the value of at least twenty-five
million of dollars This is the best proof
that can be given Of the manhood and in
dustry of the people of the State.
Who, thinking of these things, Of what
nature has done for US, and ef the change
in our prospects wrought by four years of
work, will venture to say that South Caro-
lima is utterly and helplessly crushed ?
The day of her new birth has come, each
month adds to her strength, and in another
decade she will be touching height of
good fortune Of which her people scarcely
dream, but which is certainty, fixed
fact, in the minds of those who know this
State and this people.

been interrupted. The party we're not pleased
at their reception, and one of the ladies re-
marked: swell, I didn't think he would be so
cool after ali his beautiful talk about US; but
white man is very uncertain"
Tho Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun writes on Wednesday evening I:
General Butler continues his efforts in be-
half of Joubert, the colored man, who desires
the position Of assessor of internal revenue at
New Orleans. The object of General Butler is
to induce the administration, in this case, to
make practical test of the professed friend
ship on the part of the Republican party TOR
the negro citizens. Joubert, however, IS
not, by some, considered fair type OF the
negro race upon whom to make the test IN the
distribution of official patronage. Jouoert
has no outward indication of African descent;
be is as white as General Butler himself; is
immensely wealthy, and has had Partisan
education, and is withal high-toned, accom-
plished gentleman. The negro dodge in this
case is fLr-fetched; but it is likely to prove
successful, for Joubert's friends give out that
the President and Secretary OF the Treasury
have signifed their willingness to appoint him
Mr.. Wolfey, the present incumbent Of the Of
fee that Joubert seeks, is earnestly sustained
BY General Sherman and Senator Sherman.
He has good war record, and there are no
charges on the file furnishing grounds for his
removal, and his friends believe he will be
retained"

The Condition of the State.

We published, yesterday, report Of an
interview had with President Grant on
Tuesday last by the Hon. j. P. Reed and
Hon. w. D. Simpson, of this State, MEM
bers of Congress elect. The paper which
was read by Mr.. Reed fairly expresses the
views and opinions of the Democracy Of
South Carolina, and has our approval. We
do not desire to see any factious opposition
to the new administration, and while we
have no faith in either General Grant or his
Cabinet, We are ready to give "s hearty sup
port to all such measures of the admins
tration as will in our judgment tend to de-
velope the resources and promote the in
terests of common country"
To the following paragraph from the pa.
per read by Mr. Reed, we call particular
attention, as it confirms what We have
again and again declared, and what is
further still confirmed by the important
document, published by us this morning, in
which men Of high rank and of ell shades
of opinion unite in declaring that invest
ments are as safe here and will be as profit
able as in any part of the country.
Mr.. Read said: "The condition of the people
"ofsoath Carolina socially is and has been
Gone ofprofound peace, and aside from few
s'isolated acts of personal violence that have
occasionally been committed in different
"parts OF the State, such as are unfor-
"tuuately of two common occurrence in all
s'sections of the Union, good order has pre-
svailed, and the laws, State and Federal,
senacted for their government by bodies in
(which they we're unrepresented, have been
respected obeyed and enforced without the
sslightest tendency TO tumult or violence ="
We may add, upon good authority, that
General Grant received Mr. Reed and Mr..
Simpson very courteously, and spoke to
them with cordial warmth, Of which there
is no sign in the printed report Of his reply.
