Our Mail Communication

We do not know who is tU hlame, nor do
we design to charge any ono, but the dscon-
tinuance cf the mail route from this point to
Pickens @. H., however effected, works a
great Inconvenience to q large number of our
Subscribers, and the people generally of the
two counties. Direct mail communication
between Walhalla and Pickens O. II. is of
the first Importance in u business point Of
view. Until lately, the two counties were
one, and their political division has not and
cannot separate their business relations. Tho
common records have been transferred by law
to Pickcns, and our citizens arc constantly in
want Of information to be obtaiucd through
them. Under tho old route, We had direct
mail communication with the Court House
three times week. The change gives us
indirect communication by way of Grccnvillc.
Previous to the change, Grcenville had the
sarno mail communication with Pickcns, which
we now have and we claim that the union
Of interest between Pickens and Oconeo is
greater than between Grcenyie and Pickcns.
This alone should sustain the old arrangement
in preference to the new one. This is not
tho only resulting Inconvenience There is
now no postal communication to points be-
tween Walhalla and Pickens, distance Of
twenty-sevcn miles. Kcowee, one of the Of
fees discontinued, supplies large local popu-
lation, and is the starting point of two other
routes, which supply mail matter from Wal
hala through the upper and lower portions of
Pickens. In the dscontinuance of the route
from Walhalla, these way routes and the Of
fees supplied by them become virtually use
less.
Since tho division of old Pickcns, the mail
lines have not been properly regulated, aud
we think no change should have been made
until general arrangement was perfected
aud put in operation. If tho present system
continues, several new routes, running from
Walhala and Pickcns G. H. through the
counties, should be opened at once, The ap-
plication for such will be SO full of merit,
that, upon proper information, the Depart
mcnt cannot refuse to grant them. We will
render any assistance in our power to any
section deprived of mail facilities in getting
them.

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

The Republican charges that the move
mcnt to'rcstrain the issue of the bonds of this
road is political in its character, and rcjoiccs
at the want of sagacity in the advocates of
the Reform party in stirring up opposition
to an enterprise SO nearly connected with the
material interests of the up country. Says
that journal
"Indccd, VIC learn that our 'up country
friends look upon it as another instance Of
what they call tow-country bud faith and
jealousy
Gas Republicans, therefore, we are rather
w.l satisfied Win tnls move Of the 'Kcfor-
mcrs, and assure them that they are welcome
to all the benefit they will derive from It,"
The citizens of this County are perhaps
more deeply concerned in the progress and
completion of this great thoroughfare than
those of any other section of the State. DO
the remarks above quoted apply to US? DO
they alter tho feelings of our people? Are
we so lost to virtue and patriotism as to prize
our local interests above the constitutional
rights Of the citizens of the State? If the
movement could be shown to be malicious
and unfounded, it would meet the prompt
condemnation of every good citizen here and
everywhere If, on the contrary, there he
merit in the application, though it defeat a
great public enterprise, it should and will
command tho approval Of the same Glass
We need and want the road. We do not,
however, want it by the State becoming a
party to raudulcnt issue and sale Of bonds.
We do not want it at tho cost Of violation
of the few chartered rights left to us. Every
citizen, Republican and Democrat, is intcrcs.
ted in guarding tho Constitution from any
violation. Is the Act authorizing tho issue
and signing these bonds for the road uncon.
stitutonal That is the question for dccs
ion. The granting temporary injunction
by the presiding Judge, and the subsequent
continuance Of it, is an evidence that there is
reason for the proceedings begun and this
alone has removed every vestige of suspicion,
of malice or political motive from it. If the
Judge had refused the injunction or dismissed
the proceedings, there would have been cvi,
dcnce of want of nrohable cause. Whether
the proceedings be fathcrcd by Democrat or
Republican, we say let the merits be tested,
and God speed the right. "Our just censurc
can await tho truo event" without fears OF
loss to our party.

Colonel Grisham.

We take the following article, compliment
tary to our friend, Colonel GRESHAM, from
Montana Gazette:
"Col. w. S. Grisham, of Walhalla, South
Carolina, relative of our Sheriff, Dr. Steele,
paid us short but most agreeable visit yes
tcrday. Col. Grisham was one of the old
time mcn of South Carolina, before the war,
and served number of terms in tho Legis-
laturc, and, VIC believe, in other public offices,
with credit to himsclf aud benefit to the peo.
pie. Regarding the hasty movements that
prcciptatcd tho war with alarm, aud being
naturally conservative man, he sided man
fully with his State and section when the
conflict began. Since then, when many who
were foremost for war have abandoned and
betrayed the people, turned scalawag and
Radical, Col. Grisham remains true to the
principles of Democracy, and asks no particu-
lar favor, that arc not accorded to all the pco-
pie. Almost hopeless of the future of his
native State, he is taking this Western trip
to sec if he cannot pick out some peaceful and
prosperous spot where himself and many of
his nciehbors can settle, free from the anoy-
ances of bad laws, the rule of uncducutcd
negroes and tHcir unprincipled leaders, and
enjoy the rights and privileges to which Amer
leans arc born. Doc Steele will take the
Colonel around the Territory and point out its
