The black Senator, Revels, still occupies q
senatorial sofa, and whether he will ever
stretch his ebon legs beneath mahogany desk'
and snap his dusky fingers at the saucy pages
has become question of morals. Sumner
may congratulate Mrs. Revels in the gallery
and Downing give dinners in honor Oh Inc nc"
legislative color; but all that will not sunice
the stern moralists Of the Senate. They nave
suddenly discovered that the purity OF their
dignihed body will be contaminated by 'he au'
mission of one whose past ecord, after indus-
trlous research, gives up some naughty stories
of indiscretions, youthful and otherwise, and
the great social and political ice-breakcr OF his
race is counted out until this delicate matter Is
settled. We have not been used TO consider
irreproachable virtue as one OF the necessary
qualifications Of senator. The freshness Oh
scandal has hardly yet worn of those stories
OF divorce obtained, of clerkships granted, and
of clearinghouse exposures, in which certain
senators figure as the moving cause. lndeed,
what with the known general state OF society
in Washington, and the particular instances
now and then mentioned, one can scarcely be-
lieve the virtue of senators to be, like their
LOYALTY, iron-cIad But while they are about
it, 1t is rather curious that the first victim 10
this newly AROUSED morality should be the very
negro whom the Radicals have professed 10
long for.

it is only by squeezing and straining we can
hold the trade we have, without investing a
dollar in machinery and bricks and mortar!
There is, however, in the Southern coun-
try vast sum of money which lies idle and
does less present good to its owner, and to
the country, than its weight in brass or un-
printed paper. The millions OF currency sent
down South year by year, are stillin the South;
but the money is not employed ia building
factories and railroads and steamships, or in
widening and deepening the channels oil
trade. Tt lies hid in old corners-it is hoard
ed away AS the Indian ryot, in state oil
eternal insecurity, returns his hoard OF silver
to the ground from which it came in the
shape Of cotton and rice, SO do the Southern
people hide away with jealous care the
profits of each season. And this they will
continue to do until they have honest and
stable State Governments, until they have
free banking law, until the restrictions I'M
posed by Congress upon a free circulation OF
the currency are altogether removed.
1t is generally believed that there is now
more money in South Carolina than there
was ten years ago, and the hoard increases
in volume ia every year. When Congress
upties our hands, when we obtain an able
and economical government, the gold and
the greenbacks will quickly come out from
their hiding places, and give US capital
enough to handle all the business we can
catch, and to build oil the mills We.need.
But if the change for the better be long de-
layed, the misery habit may become anolher
nature; and then, for all that we need Oh
commercial means, we shall depend on the
tender mercies of the sreculator or foreigner
These will come when they find that money
is to be made more plenteously here than
elsewhere, and in making money Tor them
selves they must help to raise up and deVel-
CD the whole State and tile whole people
Let them come, then, and the more the
merrier!

Tho South AID her Chances.

In this State, for various reasons, very
little has been done OF late years in erecting
cotton mills and factories, and our manu-
featuring power is certainly no greater, and is
most likely less, than it was before the war.
Large factories for the mar ufacture OF CON-
mercial fertilizers are in successful opera
ton; but the fleecy cotton still travels to the
North and to England, to return only when
loaded down with the cost Of carriage, insu-
rance, waste, profits and commissions, added
to the actual expense of spinning. Yet no
one doubts the wisdom OF erecting cotton
mills in South Carolina. Wistful eyes are
turned to the shadows of the Columbia canal,
and eager ears are opened wide to catch the
first word of promise which may fall from
the lips of Il New England cotton prince.
Nothing is done; but the public know that
with proper management the Southern cot
ton mills could drive New England out of
the market, and they fold their hands and
hoard their little means, and, like huge
family of Micawbers, wait for something to
turn up.
And something will turn mp, sooner or
later; sooner, if We put our shoulders TO the
wheel; later, if-trusting to an awakening of
the commercial and speculative spirit in the
minds of others-we do nothing ourselves to
ripen thought into action. The brilliant
promise of the South, as q manufacturing
country, cannot always be hid under a
bushel Calculations made with care show
that q cotton mill in South Carolina can
make money while a similar mill in Lowell
barely pays its running expenses. These
arc plain, broad facts, which are spreading
over the United States, and have even quick
ened the pulses OF the spinners Of Lam
cashire. The South wants no Protection.
If we cannot with equal chances and Free
Trade, make cotton goods as cheaply as any
other country can make them, it is not to
the advantage OF the South to turn from the
hoe to the loom and the spinning Jenny.
We believe that We can manufacture cotton
goods as cheaply in the South as they can
De manufactured in any village IN New Eng
land or Old England. If we cannot, then
we will grow the staple while others spin and
weave.
At this time South Carolina, and the whole
South, is hampercd by want OF commercial
capital. This is one great trouble. We have
not capital enough to handle the raw mate
rials, and cotton spun in this State is shipped
direct to New York, and is then brought
back again to Charleston for sale. In the
six States OF Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia there are bat 36 national banks, with
combined capital of 100000 Charles
ton alone, before the war, had sl3, 600, 900
OF bank capital. What wonder, then, that

The Blue Ridge Railroad Company.

The special committee appointed to ln-
vestigate into the condition andmanaSement
of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, have
made their report, and its sum and sub
stance is q generous need OF praise to the
president aud directors OF the company,
and broad expression of the opinion OF the
committee that the road has been managed
with sagacity and discretion. The commit
tee agree with the directors in their idea that
it would be unwise to publish, at this time,
the full official reports OF the proceedings OF
the company and its negotiations with the
contractors They do, however, sketch out
the history OF the famous CrissveA & Co.
contract, and justify the directors in first
making the contract, as well as In can
ceiling it when the contractors failed to fal-
fiji their agreement. The committee assert
that no contract, offering the same advan-
aees, could have been closed at lower
price; upon which branch OF the subject
there will still be wide difference OF opinion.
But when the directors say, without circum-
locution, that they cancelled the contract be-
cause the contractors could not OF would not
do the work that they paid the contractors
seventy-nve ousand dollars to avoid
long and tedious lawsuit; and that they can
now make contracts at a million and half
less than the price OF the Crissvell contract,
they are likely to have public opinion on
their side. And the feeling in their favor
will be strengthened by the statement that
noneM the four million dollars OF bonds
guaranteed by the State haoe been sold, ana
that only snail amount is held in pa,cn.
This is good news and plenty OF it.
One point is very clear, although it may
seem ungenerous to direct attention to it. II
the road is to cost one or two millions less
than the first estimate, ii the company is to
reap the benefit of fall in the premium On
gold from Sc to 10, and from 10 to par, if J.
new and less costly route is to be chosen, if
the money Of the State and the credit OF the
company arc to be husbanded instead OF
wasted-not one iota OF the credit belongs to
the board Of directors. The stupid failure
of Ctissvell & Co. has done the whole work.
These much discussed individuals gave the
company an opportunity OF doing what ought
to have been done in the beginning, and it
was certainly worth seventy-five thousand
dollars to save one and half Million
whether the seventy-five thousand was to be
divided between Columbia and Pennsylvania,
or to be used in buying up the stock OF the
road which gives the Blue Ridge line its
main outlet to the sea.
The public can now form some idea OF the
position of the Blue Ridge Road. To COM
plete it will take two years a or more ell1Uh 2f Rh
dollars in money. The public insist that the
means of the company, furnished it by the
State, shall be expended cautiously and
honestly; but, this being once assured, it
will be the general wish that they should
go on. This seems TO be the drift OF popular
opinion, on the coast no less than ir the
shadow of the mountain range through
which the Blue Ridge Road must pass.

Bones.

Amongst the various wants of this city
as manufacturing points that OF bone
mill. Bones, which abound in this re-
gion in vast quantities, are being shipped
off to Atlanta, Cincinnati, and other
points, where, with very simple machin-
cry, they are doubled in value-that is
to say, their mere commercial value is
doubled; but when we estimate their in
trinsic value to the exhausted fields of
our hill country as manure, the loss is
vast indeed in an economical point OF
view. Phosphates, when combined with
oil meal render each of much greater
value. Hence the Pamela Oil and Fer
tilizing Company designs to turn the
great quantities of oil meal, which now
have to find a market six hundred miles
away, into combined fertilizer, which
will be at once the cheapest and best
within easy reach of this country, and
will add to the wealth of both city and
country. A bone mill is one of the ne
cessities in this section of the country,
and parties who want profitable bust
ness, with very moderate capital to work
with, would find it to their advantage to
look into this subject.
