Tur Doom OF RAD1cAI1sM.-The New

TIE Doom OF RADICALIsM.-The New
York Sun, edited by Mr.. Charles A. Dana,
who was assistant Secretary of War un.
Mr. Stanton during the early days of the
rebellion, and who is as decided Il Radical
as is to be found in the Republican party,
has been casting the plitical horoscope OF
that party, now that the triumph of the
fifteenth amendment may be taken for
granted. and the negro taken out of poll
tics. It sees in this very fact the seeds of
the disease that will kill the iniquity, and
oiyes it's reasons as follows:
ait is out of the final termination of
the slave contest that the main peril of the
Republican party arises. At the last Pres
idential election more than half million
of men voted for General Grant solely be-
cause they wanted TO see the pending
nlan of reconstruction carried through
When this is accomplished they will feel
no special attachment to him or his party.
They are independent citizens, who never
support q party merely for tho good it has
done. 1t is to these satisfied Republicans
that the party may be indebted for its
early defeat, and even its ultimate dissolu-
tion.
"Then there are the dOctrindireS of the
party who differ with its present policy
on the tariff, the currency, the construc,
ton of the constitution, and the gradual
absorption into Congress of an unwarrant-
cd share of the powers of the government.
The cord which has bound all of these
classes to the party is broken; Following
close behind them comes the long pro-
cesson of dissatisfied Republicans, scmo
of whom arc disgusted with the admins
tration, because Of its nepotism, lis favor
itism, the unworthy character OF many
of its agents, and it's disregard Of the
claims to consideration of distinguished
members of the party while others are
indignant at it's failure TO redeem its
pledges of economy, and because of it's
fawning ut the footstool of the British
government, and its base desertion OF the
cause of free government on this CONT.
nent. Though the bond which has united
these classes to the party is not yet sew
cred, it is seriously weakened, and may
snap at the first severe strain"

The OLDEST Spot ON THE GLOBE
Prof. w. G. Keer, State Geologist OF
North Carolina, makes the following
statement: "The facts above stated are
sufficient to indicate that those rocks be-
long to the most ancient Of azolc series.
The intensity of the metamorphism, the
characteristic rocks and their contained
minerals, together with the total absence
of anything like organisms in even tho
least altered and latest of the series, Gn
Cherokee county, for example), render
this conclusion inevitable And not only
do they belong to the lowest geological
horizon, but the entire absence of all rep
rescntatives of the latter formations makes
it further necessary to conclude that we
have here ar extensive tract of the oldest
land on tho globe and as North America
is the oldest born of the Continents, so
the Black Mountain is tho oldest Of the
first to emerge from the face of tho un-
broken sphere of waters when the COM
mand went forth, Let the dry land ap-
pear.'"
We have never travelled great deal,
nor do we know much about geology, but
from tolerable familiarity with the region
referred to, we are inclined to the belief
that the learned Professors opinion is
correct That Buncombo region is evi.

looking country we have ever examined.

sum deposited to the credit of the Presi-
dent.
This recommendation of the Executive
Committee is confirmed by the fact that
the company was not in q condition to
deposit the bonds, and thus comply with
their part of the contract.
As above stated, none of the bonds au-
thorized to be issued by the Legislature
have been disposed Of A small amount
has been deposited in the office of the
South Carolina Loan and Trust Company,
Charleston, as collaterals, to raise money
necessary for the purposes Of the compa-
ny, but they have been used in such a
way as not to prevent the Legislature
from putting any additional issue of bonds,
which it may authorize in aid Of the road,
upon precisely the same footing with the
original bonds, and thus create first
class security.
The Executive Committee hope and be-
lieve that the General Assembly will au-
thorize an appropriation of additional
guaranteed bonds to complete the con-
struction of the road, SO important to the
commercial, agricultural and material
welfare of the State.
In all of these recommendations, they
have kept in view, first, the interests OF
the road, Gts capital being owned, chiefly,
by the State and by the city of Charles
ton,) and, secondly, the interests of the
people and they feel assured that results
will demonstrate tho wisdom of the policy
which is suggested.
The Executive Committee then adjourn
ed, for the purpose of submitting the
above report to the Directors.

to resembling the contract on terms just
and equitable to both parties"-togethcr
with the resolutions of the Board Of
Directors and Stockholders at the annual
meeting in Charleston, which were re-
ferred to this committee, and, being under
consideration, Judge Orr moved the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted, and
ordered to be submitted to the Board of
Directors:
The Executive Committee, to whom
was referred resolution: That, in view
of the unexpected difficulties which have
arisen to embarrass the prosecution of
the Blue Ridge Railroad under the con-
tract with Creswell & Co., the Executive
Committee bo instructed to confer with
the contractors in reference to resembling
the contract on terms just and equitable

On the 9Th day of August, 1869, q
contract was made with the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company by Messrs. Creswell

which, according to the estimate of tho
Engineer of the same, was not to exceed
the sum of sS,7O0,0O0 When that con-
tract was made, gold was worth 1856
On their part, the contractors agreed
to place to the credit of the company, on
the first day of September, 1869, $780,
900, to be used in liquidating the bonds
coupons, and floating debt of the compa'
ny. Before that date they notified the
President that he could draw against that
sum.

STATEMENT OF BONDS ISSUED UNDER THE
ACT OF SEPTEMBER. 1868.

ACT OF SEPTEMBER, 1868.
The Board of Directors, in April last
after much consideration and inquiry ol
capitalists, determined to make the bonds
authorized to be issued by the Act OF
September, 1868, payable in gold, princi
pal and interest, being convinced that the
increased price such bonds would com.
mand in foreign markets would more than
compensate for any small excess of inter.
est to be paid for the few years until
United States currency should be at par
with gold.
A text of gold bond was thcreupon
carefully prepared and placed in the
hands Of the Ameaican Bank Note Com.
pany, in New York, for engraving; but
owing TO many causes, this work was de-
layed, and the first bonds were only re.
ceived in September last.
600 bonds, of 1000 each, seven per
cent. interest, have been signed by the
President and Secretary of the company
and the usual form of guarantee of the
State of South Carolina endorsed thereon
by the Comptroler-General.
It is due to that officer to state that he
made the point whether the company was
authorized by law to sell bonds, and, as
pruden. precaution referred the question
to the Attorney General, who furnished
written opinion supporting the action
of the company.
The company have not, as yet, dispos-
ed of or sold any of these bonds, the low
price of State securities, until very re-
Gently, rendering q sale injudicious.
The bonds arc nov in the vaults of the
State Treasury Department, in this city,
for safe-keeping. Respectfully,
J. W. HARRISON.
President.

FIRST DECEMBER STEAMBOAT EXCUR-
SION At THE HEAD OF THE LAKE-On
Wednesday last, Dec 7th, the splendid
lake steamer 1rctic, of Buffalo, Capt J. Z.
Turner, having on board a large party OF
Ia lies and gentlemen, made an excursion
from Duluth to Rice's Point. The route
taken was, down the lake to the Entry,
thence up Superior Bay, and into St. Louis
Bay to the railroad dock at Rice's Point.
Speeches were made by Hon. George X.
Stunt and Maj T. NJ New Son, and set
of resolutions adopted. The day WAS beau
tifu, the skies bright, and the trip was
much enjoyed By all who participated.
This, the first December excursion at the
head Of the lake, demonstrates the fact that
navigation at this point is not yet closed,
and can be prosecuted rs late if not later
in the season, than on the lower lakes.
Another excursion on grander scale is
being planned for the first of January.
