An Old Foe with n New Face.

The proposal to consolidate the Greenville
and Columbia and the Blue Ridge Railroads
is, in ITSELF an open confession that the Green
vile Rirg have given up all hope Of passing
their two million swindling Bill But they
expect to accomplish their purpose in
another way. They now ask that the two
roads be consolidated, and that the State
waive it's lien upon the Blue Ridge Road.
This appears to be bigger job than the
original Greenville Bill. The consolidation
of the roads, coupled with REIMBURSEMENT
of the State lien, would give the consolidated
company four million OF guaranteed bonds,
free of all restrictions as to time and price OF
sale, and would deprive the State ofthat mort
gage which is its sole security for lhe bonds
guaranteed for the Blue Ridge Company.
This is our understanding q. the, pew Blu.
Its last state is worse than its FIRST.
The honest members OF the General AS
ssmbly may safely regard with suspicion
every measure which comes from the RAILROAD
Ring. A great victory is won; it remains
to follow it up with vigor and discretion.
The incorruptible few in the Senate and
House must stand at their posts without
flinching, and this session of the Legislature
will pass without subtractiug one dollar
from the assets of the State, and without
adding one dollar to the public liabilities.

The Interpretation placed upon section 7
of article XIV OF the State Constitution by
thoses wha hold withuss that the infamous
Greanvills bill requires thesupport os sscdr
thirds Of. the auhole number Of the members
of both branches of the General Assembly
before it can become law, and that there
fore the bill has not. yet passed the House
at all, would seem to be confirmed by the
record of the Legislative proceedings on all
bills involving an increase of State liability
that have been passed since the new consti-
tuition was adopted. In every such instance
within our knowledge, and especially, be it
observed, in the case of The 'bill to author
ize additional aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad
Company" measure analogous, IN it's gen
erai features, to the Greenvile Bill, the
journals show the number of those voting in
the affirmative to have been two-thirds, not
merely OF the members voting, but of the
whole number OF the members OF the House.

We print in another column the modest
Bill ''relatipg to the Port Royal Railroad
"Company. This Bill is first cousin to
the Greenville swindle, and has at least
this merit, that, without equivocation, it
gives the Port Royal Road 'one million
ssdollars" in the bonds of the State. This
Bill will not pass, but we desire to direct
attention to the fact that the General As
sembly, in taking any notice of the Port
Royal Railroad Company, and in consid-
ering it's applications for the public money,
is dealing with a corporation which has
no legal existence.
The act. to amend can act to charter
the Port Royal Railroad Company, ratified
December 81, 1851" which was approved
by Governor Scott on February. 2s, 1870,
provides (section p "that the time for the
completion OF said Railroad is hereby ex.
..tended to August l, 1871: Rrortcled, FIFTY
''M11Es ARE COMPLETED FROM THE Town OF;
"BEAuFoRr ON OR BEFORE JANUARY FIRST,
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND sEvESry-oNE."
This is plain and emphatic. The charter
of the company, and its privileges, are
made to depend upon the completion of
sffty miles, OF the road 'from the Town
s'of Beaufort" by the lst of January, 1871.
But the company have failed to comply
with this fundamental condition of the act
of 1870. Fifty miles Of the road, from
the Town of Beaufort, aoere not completed
By January l, 1871. This is an evident
fact. Moreover, it is confessed in the Bill
relating to the Port Royal Railroad Com
''pany," which provides paragraph 81
ssthat the proviso heretofore enacted where
s'by the said company was required to
complete fifty miles Of their railroad by
..the 1st day OF January, 1871, is hereby
repealed, and the time for the compile
ttion of the whole road is extended to
'the 1st day Of January, 1871. This is
frank acknowledgment Of the truth
Unless the company had failed to COM
plete the road as required by the act Of
1870, it would be sheer nonsense to- re-
peal that condition, and give the company
an extension OF time, for part as well as
for whole, to January, 1878.
We hold, therefore, that the General
Assembly, in dealing on this Sd of March,
1o7l, with the Port Royal Railroad Com
pany, is negotiating or bargaining with a
concern which has no legal existence be-
cause of its failure to comply with ial-
damental condition Of the act of February,
1870.

are sometimes said to "enIoy very poor health,n

can he clted In which 1t has been taken, either as
safeguard against this class OF diseases Or as q
remedy for them, and failed to produce the de.
sired effect. The season when malarous feyers
are rife has commenced, and no lnhabitant OF any
district subject to their vistations should be with
out this great preventive and remedy. Indeed, 1t
is o most potent protection against all the all.

rising the mephitic elements which give birth to
fever indigestion, blliousness, COLES and whole
host OF epidemic and other maladles. Aid the
system to resist them. Energize and regulate all
the animal functions with this reinforcing agent.
This precaution Is as necessary In cities as In new
settlements, for malarious fevers are now almost
as common In the great centres OF population as
on the borders OF the southern bayous and
marshes and the rich agricultural regions OF the
West. The preventive aud remedy Is accessible
TO all. Who will be unwise enough to brave recE-

The testimony thus far taken in the

the committee has made greater pro-

the publication of the treaty than was
