Charlotte Road.

In the issue of the PHOENIX, OF Sd in
slant, a stakeholder ad vises all others to
sell their stock at $40. If they can get it.
The writer shows the oloven foot by
mentioning the Erie Road. His famili-
a 'ity with the operations OF that road
suggests the suspicion that he is stock
jobber, and, possibly. in the pay OF the
man whom he says has 10000 shares.
I do not believe this. and am curious to
know how he makes up that sum.
should also like to know how long he
has been stookholder in the Charlotte
Road. T suspect about six months.
There arc few of us along the line who
have owned stock in the road from the
beginning, and we are determined to
make the stock gamblers pay considera-
bly, above $40 before they get our stock.

f'RENCH REPUBLICANIsM.- The recent
proceedings Of the French Assembly
are anything but cheering to the friends
OF free government in France. Dissa-
tisfaction and distrust exist on every
side. Theirs has powerful opposition.
The minority. which is large, are ferce
in their opposition, and yield with evil
dent reluctance when distastefnl mea-
sure is forced upon them. Indeed, there
seems to be but one bond of cohesion in
that body-the fear of German interpo-
sition in case Of any disturbance of the
present Government. The fear of Cor
man bayonets is evidently the only basis
upon which the present Government
rests. 1t has no anchorage in the nffec-
tions Of the people. Nor does the As
sembly appear to have any more respect
for the people than they have for it.
Taking advantage of the popular weak
ness, the former have not scrupled to
assume to themselves what is called
constituent power" which means pow
or to form a permanent government
which should be binding upon the peo-
pie, whether they will it to be 80 or not.
This is Republicanism with vengeance!

macy exists only in name, and the idea
is laughed at hy the purse proud auto

When the Radical papers tell the peo-
pie how much the public debt has been
reduced recently. they do not remind
them. mt the Same time, that it is the
people themselves, and not the Radical
party, that have made those paym ents
on the debt; they do not remind them
that they have taxed the country an an
nual sum of about 24O0, 600, 900 with
which to do these great things; and they
do not remind them that. while they
hnve taxed the people S400,000,000 u

Editorial Retirement.

The Winnsboro Neos, of August 81,
contains the valediotory of its late editor,
3. r. Stuart, Esq. Mr.. Stuart an
nounoes that he has taken charge Of q
school ut Summerville, near Augusta,
Ga. We regret that South Carolina has
thus lost the services-editoria and edu-
eational- of this devoted Carolinian.
Mr.. Stuart is au earnest and able teach
er, and as an editor has shown himself
an original thinker aud bold, indie.
pendent writer. Thoroughly devoted,
as Mr. Stuart is, to the interests of South
Carolina, and in sympathy with all that
is noble in her past and promising in
her future, we hope ere long to find him
called back to lis Ea:ive State. to AL
some useful station in the line of his
high calling and large experience. In
tho meantime, we bid him God-speed,
and commend him to the appreciation of
gallant and progressive Georgia.
King Amadeus, or his advisers, have
at last reversed n policy which has too
long shaped the course Of the rulers OF
Spain. Tired of the prolonged rule of
punishment and repression which has
been mercilessly enforced for so many
years. the Savoyard King has issued q
decree Of amnesty to all political offend-
ers in Spain. This wholesale and we'll
timed act of olemenoy cannot fnil but
render the foreign monarch more popu-
lnr than he has hitherto been with his
subjects. While he is merciful, the
King is also fearless. bidding plotters
and conspirators, Bourbons, Carlists,
Republicans, oil 60 free. He tells them
that the Government is aware Of the
weakness Of its adversaries, and con
sUions Of it's own strength to crush oil
revolts. This cannot be regarded as m
idle boast, for Amadeus has let loose, on
his yet unstable realm, the very men
who desire to destroy his power. and
they will deprive him Of his throne if he
is weak or vacillating.
