MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1868
Tho Ebb of the Tide.

Now that President Grant is fairly inau-
gurated there should soon be some slacken-
ing of the painful and even servile atten-
tion which has for months been paid to his
every wink and smile. Since his nomina-
ton as President, General Grant has been
blindly vorshipred. The eyes of millions
have watched each twist and turn, and not
syllable has fallen from the lips of this
common place demi-god but has been pom
dered and discussed as though it were in
very truth big with the fate of nations.
In the South this malady has taken very
mild form Here, at least, it is recognized
that General Grant is not the United States,
and that he does not represent the states
manship, the intelligence or the political
ability of the country. President Grant Is
Gan accident" far more than Mr.. johnson
ever was; and we know of nothing in his
career as public man, beginning with his
treachery towards President johnson and
his coquetting with truth for the sake of
political prefermert, which entities him to
be regarded as the patriot who will check
the usurpations of Congress and guide his
whole public life by the landmarks of the
constitution There is nothing but twaddle
in his inaugural address. There is nothing
in the complexion of his Cabinet which
should give confidence to the South. The
sters,-Washburne Hoar, "trooly loil"
Creswell and the rest,-may not make Pres
idcnt Grant moro arrogant than he would
be without them; neither will they cause
the Presiden; to use his influence on the
side of liberal Southern policy.
We believe that President Grant is now ut
the height of lis popularity Soon will he
drop from the zenith like falling star. The
Office seeker, the politician, the farmer and
the mechanic will band together against
him; for whatever Of renowa he may gain
by his efforts to make the government hon
est he will lose by his dictasorial temper
and the absence of any settled policy be-
yond the determination to carry out such
orders as Congress may chance to give him.
What, indeed, can be expected of man
whose whole code of constitutional right is
found in the articles of war? We wanted
statesman, and fate gave US soldier.
The Sou:h,-while the trouble is brewing,
as brew it will,-must watch and be silent;
bearing it always in mind that we have
nothing to expect from General Grant, or
any other Republican President, save what
may be forced from the weakness or neces-
stiles of the North by the strength and re-
sources of the South.

Mr.. A. T. Stewart is ineligible, provides
that the Secretary of the Treasury shall not
engage in trade or commerce under pain Of

THE TELEGRAPH informs us that Presi-
dent Grant, Mrs. Grant and one Of the little
Grants, on yesterday visited one of the
Methodist churches in Washington, during
divine service, and finding no special prepa-
ration made for him, quilted the edi6ce in
high dudgeon. This was contemplate and
suobbish enough, but not worse than the dis
gustiug obsequiousness of the minister who,
from the pulpit, apoligised for the short
coming, and promised that space should
be reserved in future.

the slightest suspicion that any person favors
the rebellion is sufficient ground for visiting
summary punishment upon him. This being
the state OF affairs, many prominent natives
have found it impossible to remain on the
island, and refugees are constantly leaving the
island for the United States. These refugees
think the revolution will be successful, basns
their opinion upon the ground that the sum-
mer weather will prove so fatal to the govern
mont regular troops that Spain will feel obliged
to abandon the enterprise, and that the volup-
teers who have enlisted in the ranks OF the
government army are nearly all melcenarles'
who will 60 over to the winning side.

Charleston and the North Cnrolinn Rail-
roads.

Our contemporary, the Wilmington Jour-
nal, publishes leading article in reply to
On article of The News, founded upon the
complaint made by the Superintendent of
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad in his
annual report, that his receipts for the year
would have been considerably larger ''but
s.for the want of harmonious corporation
con the part of the management Of the
"South Carolina Railroad Company and
consequent imperfect connection with Co.
'.lumbia, S. c., and Augusta, Ga" The
Journal contends that freight "must be car
cried through South Carolina without pass
sing through Charleston" takes occasion
to condemn ''local jealousies and interests
"engendered by an illibsral spirit on the
"part of lines of transportation, and says
that the illiberality of the South Carolina
Railroad is regarded as "irjurious to the
splanters of South Carolina and Georgia
oand to the stockholders" of the South
Carolina Railroad.
The comments Of the Journal are plausi-
BILE enough; but, according TO our in
formation, they grow out Of misappre-
hension both of the policy of the South
Carolina Railroad and of it's duties towards
it's stockholders and the public.
1t is an obvious truth that it is to the in
tcrest of the South Carolina Railroad Com
pany to manage their road in such man
ner as to give the greatest benefit to their
stockholders; and it is equally their duty
to operate their road, as far as it may be
be done, in the interests of the State Of
South Carolina, rather than in tho interest
of North Carolina or Virginia. Now, if the
South Carolina Railroad Company agree 10
allow the Wilmington aud Weldon Railroad
to carry freight at ordinary through rates
over their road, this freight paying only for
the number of miles of road over which it
passes, they by so doing cut eff their stock
holders from the benefit arising, under
other circumstances, from the use of the
greater part Of their line. In other words,
freight coming vis Wilmington to Columbia
would pay the South Carolina Railroad for
25 miles, from Kingville to Columbia, while
freight coming in via Charleston would pay
the South Carolina Railroad for $50 miles,
! from Charleston to Columbia, Is this rea-
sonablc, CT is it just? We'd not hesitate
to say that tho management of the South
Carolina Railroad are justifying The conf
depce which their stockholders repose in
them by using as much of their own line
as possible, and by refusing to make King
vile instead Of Charleston the terminus
of their road. Nor does this policy ill.,
terfere with the public interest; for the
South Carolina Railroad will always carry
freight as cheaply and as quickly as it eau
be carried by any other route. And
indeed, what the Journal seems to ex-
pect is that the South Carolina Railroad
shall give up the business which it has epen'
hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain,
and for which lines of steamships have been
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-03-08

built, only in order that it might carry
freight over twenty-five miles of its road,
and in the inlerest of what is under the
circumstances, neither more nor less than
a competing line.
The Journal also says, that on account Of
the want of cooperation already referred
to, General Malone is delivering goods in
Atlanta from Norfolk, by way of Lynchburg,
cheaper than i, is done by the way of Viii,
mington.
We say, in reply, that this statement is
more fancifui than real. General Malone
has a tariff of charges to and from Atlanta,
but he does no business at that point, save,
perhaps, when on account of the press Of
business it is impossible to ship freight by
the natural channels. So little, indeed, has
been done by General Malone at Atlanta,
that he is not even regarded az competi-
tor at that point
In as friendly tone as that of our con-
temporary, we would allude to what he is
pleased to style an 'illiberal spirit on the
part of the South Carolina Railroad Com
pany, in refusing the unbusiness-like pro-
posals of the Weldon Road. The natural
route for the transportation Of produce is
on the shortest line to the sea, where the
home market should be found. The usual
currents of merchandise to the consumers
Of the interior should flow back over the
same lines from this common market Such
was the course in the good times past, but
since the war there has been q mania for
sending produce to distant markets, even
in miniature tlots, and country traders have
likewise preferred o lengthy journey to the
North, at large expense, for their stocks of
goods. The breaking up by the war Of the
short lines of railroads TO the sea and to
home markets, and tho facility Of transit
over long lines to distant markets, gave
this feeling an impetus, and the roads thus
benefited taste of income from this un-
expected source, which now they would
perpetuate. It is an unnatural course of
trade and must fail of permanent success
and as it ia the true policy of Savannah to
use her splendid lines of road in her own
interest, and of Wilmington to push her
Western North Carolina connection for
her own benefit, just as she now works the
Manchester road, to the very heart. of
South Carolina, and with almost positive
prohibitions against Charleston; so the
South Carolina Road must seek its success
in building up home markets on its main
lines aud at its principal terminal points,
Charleston, Augusta, Columbia and Camden,
with which markets, developed by time
to be cities of population, centres of capital
and trade, its future is too entirely ideuti.
fed to be lost sight of, under the glittering
generalities of temporarily. inviting but
uusubstantial proposals of business.
We have endeavored to make clear our
position in regard to tho complaints of the
North Carolina railroads, and hope that the
Journal will be convinced in time that we
are not altogether blinded by local jealou
sizes, but are as anxious as the Journal can
be that the whole of the Southern people
should work together for the benefit and
advancement of the South.
