THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

Reports from all parts of RIchland County
relating to the crops are encouraging. Since
the general rain they have recovered much.

Marion.
The Crescent says: "Rains have fallen In the
greater part of the county, and the crops are
very much refreshed and benefited. Though
in some sections the crops both OF corn and
cotton will-be probably less than one-half, yet
we think our figures given last week are not
far from the mark. It will, at any rate, reach
tWo-thirds of the usual crop.r

The Star says: s'ThIs nelghborhood was
refreshed on Saturday last by heavy fall Of
rain, which will assist the growth of cotton,
potatoes, peas, RICE &C., but is too late to do
corn any good. We have had several showers
since Saturday. which have had the effect Of
making the weather much more pleasant"

The Times says: son Saturday and Sunday
last the rains were pretty general throughout
the county. Everybody that we have seen re-
ports rain. and plenty of 1t, at last. Crops
are undoubtedly cut short, to o great extent,
by the protracted drought, but these. recent
rains will arrest the burning up process which
has been going on, and enable our farmers,
we hope, yet to rejoice In pretty fair crops"

Fairfield.

The News says: 'The drought in this sec.
tion, we are assured from all quarters, has Sc
riously injured the crops. Cotton bolls are
shedding freely, and In places where there
were seemingly better prospects tor good
yield, as much as sixteen bolls have been
picked up, having dropped from one stalk.
On Saturday evening refreshing shower
visited our vicinity, and Saturday night we
had more rain, but not sufficient to thorough
ly motsten the ground, and If we do not have
more every trace OF 1t will disappear In day
or two. 1t seriously thought that the cotton
crop, under no circumstance, can exceed the
half of an average"

Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company
and the Blue Ride Railroad Company"
The first three sections give large powers
and privileges to the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad Company. The fourth section pro-
$ides ''that In view of the consolidation of the
,Greenvllle and Columbia Railroad Company
and the Blue Ridge Railroad Company" the
issue OF the bonds authorized by the act of
1868, the endorsement by the comptroller
general, and the execution of the mortgage by
the Blue Ridge Company to 4essrs. Gourdll,
Clews and Cameron, are ratified and confirmed,
and the mortgage declared to be lien prior
to the statutory lien.
The sixth section repeals the provision,
making It an express condition that the bonds
shall not be used at less than par.
We have already indicated our opinion tina,
the mortgage Is q better security than the
statutory ens and we do not think It neGes ;ss
sary now to discuss the question whether tine
State could postpone the lien to the mortgage
The more important question is.. has the
State postponed it, Is the act of 1871 opera
tive without consolidation
The object and intent Of the act was to pro
mote the consolidation Of the two companies
A special act was not necessary to enable the
TWO roads to consolidate. They had that pow
.er under the general railroad &C: of 1870, but
that act Imposed terms which were regarded
:as Objectionable. The Legislature by this
special act relieved the companies from the
Objectionable terms, authorized them to con.
solidate, granted powers and privileges to
each in view of consolidation, and to induce
1t, and enacted provisions regulating them
sitter consolidation.
The privileges and powers granted were to
promote consolidation; were TO that end and
for that purpose. The consideration of the
1 grants was the consolidation Of the com
panies. They were not absolute grants -iree
gins 10 be held and enjoyed by the companies
In h,,fo cyra % no 10
fits of which were to accrue on consolidation
The act means consolidation, or 1t means
nothing,
ITO maintain that the companies can take al
the benefits granted to each and refuse top
form the condition upon which the grant,

How will they control 1t? In the interest Of
the State or against 1t? Who can tell On
all these points, go important, the agreement
If controlled agains. the State, we are pow
erless to prevent 1t.
The utter loss OF four million OF dollars
would be hard to bear; but the active employ
ment OF four millions Of State money to divert
trade and commerce from the State, would be
still harder to be- borne.
It ia. certain that the association is to get the
stock and four millions of dollars; everything
else Is uncertain.
The proposal Of the association to the State
in tact, Is: Give us your road and four mil
lions of bonds. If we succeed, the profit
shall. be ours; If we fall the loss shall be yours
Such plan seems to us traught with ruin.
The true remedy for this and the other evils
is, we respectfully submit, for the executive
committee aud the citizens 10 memorabilia the
State and city authorities not to part with the
stock and assets OF the road, but to retain
them In their own hands-eXerclse the power
which they possess, reform the present ad-
ministration, and place the road in charge OF
those whose integrity and ability will insure
judicious administration of the finances of the
company and speedy completion of the
road.
Or, If it should be deemed advisable to- trans
fer the road, with its stock, assets and bonds,
to an association, let it be distinctly known
how that association is composed, who consti-
tute 1t, how long they are to continue, and
how their places are to be supplied; let IL be
an association with definite powers and fixed
responsibilities, go. constituted that 1t will In
spire confidence, and 30 bound that the State
viii have guarantee for the faithful perform
ance of Its part OF the contract to complete the
road.
The Importance of al early completion Of
the road is universally conceded. Scarcely
ahy project has appealed more earnestly or
more successfully to the sympathies and sup
port of the State. To the large amounts al.
ready expended there has recently been added
Ia not the desire of any to oppose Its progress
! or hazard its success, but it Is of the utmost

JAPANESE PRoGEss.-Mr. Mori, the charge

JAPANESE PROGEss.-Mr. Mori, the charge
a. affaires OF the newly-arrved Japanese en-
bassy, speaks English quite well, and CONVEX
ses freely ON the changes which his Govern
ment is under going, and the active measures
which are being taken to make her system,
both civil and military, accord With those of
the great powers of the world. Already they
have established college at Yeddo, at which
there are four American instructors, two En-
glish and two French. 1t is also proposed to
establish free schools in all parts Of the coun-
try.
Among the internal improvements going on
is the building of a railroad $50 miles in length
eighteen miles of the road were graded when
this party sailed. Another vast change that
has been made is. that any one may rise to the
office of Prime Minister, If he has the merit
and ability to fulfil the duties of the office. The
French system has been adopted for the army
and the English system for the navy There
are now eight regiments in service wearing
the European uniform. The Minister says that
the people of Japan feel under more obliga-
tons and have more love for the United States
Government than any other, on account Of
friendly feelings exhibited and the opening OF
Its ports. The present Government Is pursuing
wise policy in endevoring to obtain all pos
sible and reliable information as to the mode
in which the various departments OF the i1ad-
ing nations are carried out.
To accomplish this much desired end the
Government sends abroad members ofthe In
perial family and students. These are all
vounp men, who can the more readily acquire
the foreign languages. They are maintained
and supported at the expense of the Govern
ment, and when they have finished their
course OF studies, or have accomplished the
mission ON which they were sent, they return
home to give their country the benefit OF their
experience and education. At the present
time there are about two hundred japanese
students in the various colleges and universi-
ties OfAmerica,
