TEE Ar LINE RAILROAD.

We learn that meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the ssAir Line Railroad in South Caro-
lima" was held in the city Of Columbia two weeks
neo. President BupoRD submitted his report,
which was received as information, and deemed
satisfactory. The prospect for building the Road
within the next two years is highly favorable
The location of the Road from Gainesville, Ga,
to Charlottee, N. O., is as yet undecided, An ex-
perimentsl line is being run at this time from our
neighboring town of Greeuyille to Charlotte. 1t
is believed that the arrangements of the Company
will shortly enable the Board Of Directors to or
der survey of the permanent route, from Gsines-
Vile through this section OF South Carolina. 1t
behooves our people to be ready to meet any de-
maud upon their iberality and enterprise in this
direction, as undoubtedly The location of the
Road depends, in great measure, upon local
contributions If Anderson can excel its neigh
bors in this regard, We may confidently expect to
obtsin the route at or near this place. But con-
trary course, and other counties will seize the
opportunity to our disadvantage. We feel conf
dens that the pledges heretofore made by the peo-
pie Of Anderson will be fully redeemed, and that
it 10 only necessary to give them fair showing
in the location of the route to obtain substantial
and handsome assistance towards completing this
important railway.

wurrrEuonEs InpuDEscE.-A Washington dis

WuIrTEMonE's IMpUpENcE.-A Washington dis
patch of Wednesday says:
..Whittemorc leaves here TO- morrow morning for
his district in South Carolina, to commence the
canvass for n reelection to the House. He takes
with him large sum of money to aid in his elec-
ton, the funds having been subscribed by Repub-
lican senators and others. He says he has recev-
ed numerous dispatches from prominent men in
his district profering support and assuring him
that he can be reelected. On the other hand, it
is said that Republican members of the House dis
countenance Whittemore's effort to be reelected,
and thnt he will be prosecuted under the statute,
making his acts as to cadetships punishable by
fine and Imprisonment. A verdict and judgment
of guilty would disqualify MIR. Whittemore from
holding office.
The New York Herald e1claims "How utterly
void of oil sense of the respect due to the
worlds opinion must they be, and hold White
more to be, who now argue that that ousted mem
ber will return on new election"
And the Tribune bluntly declares "We repudi-
ate utterly the idea that any sensible constituent
cy will re- elect members 10 the same House which
has just been cheated out of the opportunity of
expeiling them by the trick of their resignation.
That would be q very elaborate invitation indeed
to prompt expulsion on sight!"

TEE EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

l. has been suggested that the ani-Radical press
Of shis State hold conference, for the purpose of
secariue unity and concert of action on their part
in the coming political campaign. The suggestion
originated with the Columbia Guardian, and has
been endorsed by several influential journals,
while others have virtually dissented from the
proposition. 1t is further suggested, and agreed
upon by those favoring the original proposition,
that this meeting be held in Columbia on Wednes-
aav next 10th Of March. As the convention has
been called, we think it would be entirely proper
for every anti Radical newspaper in the State to
he represented on that occasion, although in our
judgment any decisive action would be preama-
ture, in view of the probability that convention
Of the people will be postponed for several months.
But. rs our Columbia contemporary remarks, 'there
are considerations Of social md professional
character, which, in themselves, constitute sufhci-
ent reasons why the proposed reunion should be
held" and as we have always favored every move
pent Of this character, trust that there Will De
full representation. An organization OF this
kind might have accomplished much good in the
past, and we throw out the additional suggestion
that IL be made permanent in its character.
The Charleston Necs says that 'the press con-
ference as We understand it, does not contemplate
the putting forth of platform or any public &c.
ticn in regard to the coming elections. The OBJ
;ect of the conference is to bring the editors of
the anti Radical papers together, so that they may
Interchange views and opinions, and make them
selves acquainted With the feelings and desires Of
every section of the State. convention or con-
ferenee which looked to o public declaration of
policy would be manifestly unwse but che press
conference may result in incalculaSie good aud
can do no harm" With such an understanding,
we can oil the more heartily endorse the proposed
meeting, and will enieavor to meet our brethren
ep the day designated.
