in the climate to prevent those resources 8
from being turned to the best account.
But, beyond this, we may speak with
pleasure of our system Of internal oommu.
nioation; for South Carolina, which built the
frst long line Of railroad in the United States,
is now busily engaged In extending her
railroad system and perfecting her oom,nu-
Injections. 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 Northea eastern
Railroad, completes the direct seacoast line
Of railroad travel from Portland, Maine, to
the Gulf, will be7opened throughout in less
than twelve months. And this ia not ell.
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 pillows Of the ocean. Her
harbor is spen at all seasons, and upon her
bar Is sufficient depth of water for vessels

New York, but directly to Bremen, Hayre

few words 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 q precs-
ding article, the people were not daunted
or ,oowed. 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 Eve
million Of dollars. This is the best proof
that oan 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 Of 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, q fixed
fact, in the minds of those who know this
State and this people.

The Condition or the state.

We published, yesterday, report of an
interview had with President Grant on
Tuesday last by the Hon. ]. 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 net 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 90 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" 1
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 all 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.. Road said: t'The condition Of the people
''ofSouth Carolina socially is and has been
"one Of ofprofound peace, and aside from few
.'isolated acts of personal violence that have
occasionally been committed in different
s'parts Of the State, suoh as are unfor-
ttunately Of two common occurrence in, all
''sections Of the Union, good order has pre-
''vailed, and the laws, State and Federal,
''enacted for their government by bodies in
(which they were unrepresented, have been
respected obeyed and enforced without the
''slightest tendency to tumult OF violence" /"
We may add, upon good authority, that
General Grant received Mr.. Reed and Mr..
Simpson very courteously, and spoke to
them with a cordial warmth, Of which there
is no sign in the printed report Of his reply.

A Receiver to Take Charge Of Nash
Vile.

The order Of Chancellor Smith, at Gal
latin, Tenn, on Saturday, appointed q re-
ceiver to take charge of the corporation of
Nashville, has created much excitement.
The greater number of the citizens receive
the action favorably, but there good and
wise men who look upon it as q high
handed usurpation over the city of Nash
vile and abuse of judicial authority. They
say that the appointment of a man by
Judge living outside the district to collect
taxes, borrow money, disburse funds and
perform all the functions which the people
elected certain officers to perform, is vio-
lation of the city charter, opposed to the
nature Of American institutions, and un-
paralleled in the history of this country.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Bass, the re-
ceiver, will attempt to GUST the present
city officials or leave them in their places
and operate through their agency. Mr.
Bass is required to give bonds in $500, 600
for the faithful performance of his duties,
and there are some who think he will be
unable to give such as the clerk and the
master of the Chancery Court at Nashville
will accept. If the receiver makes good
bonds and then attempts to GUST the
present city officials, there will probably
be trouble. ID rl3aisG~ar. e.1 Ela bsHgs

Worse Than the SnaEtarssg

The New York lines, in view OF the
fact communicated by telegraph that the
cholera and yellow fever are raging in
Cuba to such All extent as to have effected
a tacit truce between the coHtendng armies
in that island, not inopportunely suggests:
''As the Cuban Junta in this city has
repeatedly proclaimed that it WIS not men
but arms and other munitions of war that
were needed to enable The Cu,ans TO
achieve their independence, common hu-
mainly requires that they should cease
their efforts for the recruitment Of volun-
teers in this country, who, unacclimated
as they are, will, in /; majority of cases of
those who succeed in reaching Cuba at all,
fall easy victims TO the twin epidemics
which are now rapidly decimating both
armies. We wacn these gentlemen Of tho
Junta that persistence in this reckless dis
regard Of the lives Of adventurous aud en-
thusiastic youDg men will go far to de-
privo the cause OF Cuban Independence Of
that sympathy which it has hitherto re-
ceivcd i'll this country. They must know
that these recruits, entirely unaccustomed
to tropical climate, will be utterly worth
less for military operations in Cuba for the
next four months, and that the enemy they
will have to meet is not the Spaniard, but
death bv cholera and yellow fever

Russian Railways.

The chief inspector Of Russian railways,
Baron Delwigb, has just published an &C
count of the state Of the traffic on the rail-
ways Of the empire for the last two years.
He states that the traffic of 1868 was car
ried over 664 miles of government lines,
and 3,611 miles of private lines-the last
having been traversed by 7,743, 538 passen-
gers in 1867. and 8, 7S3, 800 in 1868 The
amount of the goods forwarded by the
private lines in 1867 was 116, $50 900 cwt.
against 1913, 100000 cwt. in 1868. The
gross receipts of all the private lines are
about 95, assoc (36. 999. 465 roubles) for
1867, and about &c. 666. 522 (46, Go, 742 rou-
bles for 1868; showing thus an increase of
81, 237, 713. This increase would probably
be far greater if all the main lines leading
to Moscow and st. Petersburg were provi-
ded with double rails. The lines of Mos
cow-Riszan and Moscow-Koursk are fur
nished only with single rails, SO that the
accumulation of goods at different stations
is enormous. --.. e-#
