every reason to anticipate large and pros.
porous fall business, but the appearance of the
epidemic in this city diverted much Of It's most
profitable trade to competing lines The prin-
>cIpal loss was in the business OF Augusta and
upper Georgia, and the same cause prevented
the increase of business expected from the
Macon and Augusta road. The business from
the Columbia branch and connecting roads,
from their closer connection with Charleston,
has suffered less, and that from the Camden
branch shows moderate Increase, indicating
the improving condition of that section of the
road.
To meet competition by other lines, the road
has been compelled to submit to reduction
of rates during the year, averaging five and q
half per cent, whicn, added to the loss of ton

The troubles of the Radical party i'll Penn
sylyania are very great. The Cincinnati
commercial thus briefly states some of them:
"Pcnnsylyania is the key to the political
position. The Republican party rolltcdtncrc
in October next lose the presidential election.
Now let the sagacity Of Grant be admired.

New ,Jer>ey The Grant-Camcron ring has
possession of the Republican party IN PENN
sylyania, and there Is the worst State ticket out
for next fall that has appeared in many years.
This shows the extent Of the wisdom OF the
Administration
The factions are irreconcilnbly hostile.
Colonel FoRNEY heading the anti-CAMERos
side, has, during the Republican Convention
in Philadelphia. boldly charged that the State
ticket. with HAKTRANFT for Governor, would
break down the party in Pennsylvania. CAM
ERoS, 10 less bold and infleXiblc, has pre-
claimed his ,lnalterable purpose. He stands
by the HARTRANFT ticket, and says he docs
not mean to change his policy, and docs not
mean to surrender his personal preferences.
If the party stands by him, very well. If it
does not, he declared in very strong, but not
i'm very polite, vcrnacular, that it might go
TO the devil. II CAM. is rightly reported,
he has lost his calmness, and FoRNEY has got
the better. FoRNEY is as gay us lark. Hc
pitches into the State ticket in the toughest
manner, telling the GRANT party that it Ell.
sures defeat in October. makes great show
of his zeal for the Radical cause, writes glec-
full notices of the military organization COM
mandcd by his son, IN officer of the army,
and shines so bright and smells SO sweet that
he must be great disgust to CAMERON and
his satellites. And yet FoRNEy is not rebuked.
However, CAMERON is consoled by the reflec-
ton that no step is taken in the way of re-
firing his HARTRANrT ticket, and putting
new one in its place.
The quarrel Is bitter. FoRNEY says the
State is gone if CAMERON rules. II 50, there
is a great deal gone. New York will surely
go for GREELEY, and as so New York and
Pennsylvania so goes the Union.
These dscords in the North certainly are
far from disturbing the equanimity of the
South. There can be no restoration Of sec
tional good will until the solid northern army
alien to the South is broken and divided on
questions of principle as well as men; there
can be no protection for the people or the
Constitution against usurIation and tyranny.
A free and interrupted people cannot be all
of one opinion. Freedom of opinion is free
dom to disagree; and in that sort of freedom
lies the safety of our institutions, the free
dom of the citizen, and the integrity Of thu
Government.

vention, the friends of the former, growing
excited at the manner In which he was
treated. boldly demanded his denomination

keep that lamb of Radicalisln MoEros ii, his

that the change ofsthc vice-presidency in
