DIR COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCE.

~ COLUMBIA, S. c., March Is.
The adjournment of the Legislature
leaves Columbia somewhat dull and des-
pondent The number of people drawn
here by the session is very large, and
each one leaves some of his greenbacAs
behind him, to the comfort and profit of
store keepers and hotels. The State house
looks colder, damper and darker than
ever; the State officers are busily employed
in finding out how their respective depart
ments Jared in the appropriations; the
politicians are figuring over the coming
campaign.
The Governor is happy and content
with the thorough endorsement by the
Legislature of all his official acts. Not
measure wished for by him failed to pass
and no act that seriously opposed but was
defeated. He may well feel satisfied with
his brilliant strategy.
The State campaign is now in order
and, after few days rest, all minds will
90 actively to work to form State ticket.
r. X. Scott and F. J. Moses are conceded
to be the most prominent candidates for
governor. Of course there are many
others whose longing eyes are fixed upon
the came great prize, but they are merely
skirmishers who have dim hopes of win
ming some surprise, or that by striking for
a great position they have some claim to
a small one. The Republican opponents
of the present State administration,
though so badly beaten in the Legislature,
are actively at work with combinations to
bring out ticket which they hope will
receive the support Of the Democrats and
Conservatives, as well as that of dissatis,
fled r epublicans, Among the men named
for Governor on this ticket are Corbln,
Tomlinson, Chamberlain and Judge Orr.
For treasurer some prominent banker or
business man unconnected with politics
would be selected. Henry layne, Dr.
Boseman, B. f. NhittemOre, j. K. Jllison,
Henry Cardoza, w. J. Whipper, Bowen
and some others come on for other posi-
tions. 1t is probable, in case of split
and two conventions that the retormels
will accept all the nominations made by
the regular convention with the exception
oF Governor and treasurer. 1t is under
stood that Senator Smalls will receive the
regular nomination for Adjutant and In
spector General, position he has earned
by organizing the only efficient regiment
of militia IL the State.

Augusta and Port Royal Railroad.

Well. we have it at last. The Georgia
Central Road has become tired of the un
warranted abuse which has been manu-
factured against it by the railroad ring of
this city, and, to show how utterly op-
posed its direction was TO the purchase OF
the South Carolina Road, 1t has preferred
to endorse the bonds of the Port Royal and
Augusta Road, to the tune ofone million,
and to take twelve hundred thousand dos-
lars OF its stock-that is a controlling inter-
est. This is most scornful answer to the
charges made in this city against its sani-
ty and management. Now, do our peo-
pie understand what this action of the
Georgia Central means? 1t means plain
ly this-that the Georgia Central is going
to build and run the Augusta and Port
ROYAL, with all it's resources and ability,
in opposition to the South Carolina Rail-
road, and, furthermore, in the interest OF
that splendid seaport town, and not in the
interests of Charleston. -
NOW, mere Is a Tedl CuSuo Oettt aSoiuS'
the Georgia road, and why does the ring
not open its batteries? Because, If the
people understood this thing, why, then,
stock worth little now would be worth no.
thing then. This Port Royal Road COM
pletely fanks the South Carolina Road, and
takes Charleston in the rear. Mr.. Nad-
ley has completely out generated our wise
acre ring. He was quietly laughing in his
sleeves at the ourlandish hullaballoo, and
as quietly went to work and bought the
other road. He has realized that trade
will obey its natural laws, and will al
ways seek the easiest and most economi'
cal channels. AS sure as the night follows
the day, the trade of this section will de-
sert the old tyrannous road and follow the
shining track of the new road.
Besides, Port Royal has certain unde-
niable advantages which Charleston has
not, and never can have, and will grow

We read Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS
editorials in Ha,per's. Weekly with hearty
enjoyment The genial, kindly nature of
the ''easy chair is always apparent.
Amid the bitterest political contest his treat
ment Of an opponent is courteous and
generous; whiless his fairmindedness is con-
spicuous to degree rare among the journal
lists of to-day We are led to make these
comments in view of his treatment of Sena-
tors Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz in the
late debates in the Senate Commenting
upon the silly and very insulting resolution
which Senator Conkling offered regarding
collusioC on the part of American Senators
with agents of foreign powers. Mr.. Curtis
justly remarks, "There are charges that can
no more stand against character than dried
leaves against fire. They are instantly and
utterly consumed. Such are insinuations
that Mr. Schuz or Mr. Sumner has dealt
pnlawfully with foreign agent" The DIFF
ference between Harper'S Weekly and the
New York Times in their support of the
administration is painfully evident to all who
respect the dignity of the journalists pro-
fession. The Times has disgraced itself by
its attacks on the opposition Senator's and
the very violence of its spleen has defeated
its object. 1t cannot drive these men out of
the Republican party. Nor can it force
them into submission to the behests Of
Morton, Conkling & Co. The records of
Sumner, Schurz and Trumbull belong to
the Republican party and are, in measure,
CO. coexistant with it, Their efforts built it up,
and its success has promoted them. While
we regret much of their action and believe
s5at they have in some instances gone too
far vet we cannot but admire their inde-
nondence snd their courage. We hope that
next fall we shall find them all fighting
manfuIy and effectively with the rest ofus
the common foe.

at its expense. its harbor is not surpassed
on the south Atlantic coast, where the
proudest ship can ride at safety and ease,
and enter at any time; whereas, Charles
ton has vicious bar, most ugly bar,
nor is there money enough just now ln the
United States treasury to deepen and cor
rect it, even if ''Barkis is willing," should
locking Ia the sea and ,using The sweep Of
the tide happen to be the only way. II is
ALWAYS better to look the truth squarely
in the face, and prepare for the worst, than
to hide ''one's light under bushel."
Now, this forlorn city is about two hum
dred years old, and, as the pet of the Brit
ish Government in 1772, was much more
prosperous than it is now. 1t may have
since then certain natural and unavoid-
able increase of population, but that alone
no more shows prosperity than the in
crease of graves in. a grave yard. -
With shifting, dangerous and remedi-
less harbor, without capital or inmigra-
ton, with Savannah laughing in our face
ahead of ms, and Port Royal gradually but
surely taking our trade behind US, with
mercilcss and unscrupulous railroad and
city rings, plundering, robbing, ravaging
us, with hopeless debt and more hope
less burnt district, Charle ston sits in her
widowed weeds, slowly dying by inches
diving of a cancer of the heart-the fatal,
ceaseless fang of the old regime.
If antiquity is compelled to indulge in
paroxysm or two, would the spirit of this
driving; busy age stop to accord our city
the passing tribute of tear? No! 1t
would lift fs imperial form above the
highest empyrean and point its finger,
trembling with scorn and Indignation, at
the genius, valor and excellence of her ex-
lied sons, illustrating the virtue and vim
dica.ing the success of the American
character in every part of the American
| Union. 1t would then turn in immortal
disdain and send the lightning Of its glance
and the blackness Of ifs frown to blast and
bury forever the hast energy OF that seor-
pion spirit which now, in the shape ol
''rings," is eating out our life, and which
in that supreme hour will be still crawling
among the ruins and despoiling the wreck
of this city. If this new road is bnilt, and
run by the enlarged and successful enter
prise of the Georgia road, and we do not
rise up as one man and stamp out therail'
road and other rings that devour US, oul
feeble word for it, that the old brick of this
city will build up the business houses o.
Port Royal and the place ''by the sea-
that ''knew us once will know US no more
forever. o. Charleston Republican.

THE PORf ROYAL RAILROAD.
Guarantee Of its Success,

There was report on the streets yes
terday that the Georgia railroad, at the
recent meeting in Augusta, agreed to en-
dorse Sl.0O0.0W in bonds Of the Fort
Royal railroad, 80 as to establish an in
dependent outlet to the seaboard. 1t is
said that the movementwas suggested by
appre ehensions that the South Carolina
road might be controlled in hostility to
the interests Of the Georgia road "a -
Gosslps in Macon says that all the
strings will be, arranged at the Covington
meeting: on thecs27th, irst.,s to carry
through the Macon aud Knoxville road
| with a wet finger. The line Of the Macon
and Augusta road will be used to clinton
Station, in Jones county, about twelve
miles from Macon, and thence the new
line will strike northeasterlys through
Clinton aud Monticello to Covington
where it will intersect the Georgia road,
by which Atlanta will be reached in e,
total distance of 103 miles. 1t will be
necessary to build fifty.two miles to effect
this connection. From Coyington line
due north will join the Knoxville and Ma
rysvile road and perfect the e1tssrrise.-
Macon Telegraph.
The above is confirmed by the Augusta
Chronicle, which says:
We have been informed that at the meet
ing Of the directors Of the Georgia road,
on Tuesday last, the board voted in favor
of endorsing the bonds Of the Port Royal
company to the amount Of one million OF
dollars For this loan Of its credit the
Georgia railroad viii receive one million
| two hundred thousand dollars OF the stock
If the Port Rryal company. This stock
will give the Georgia road controlling
interest," In the affairs Of the company.
With the proceeds sf tbe'bonds thus en-
dorsed the road will berapidly completed,
and Augusta put in direct and closs COM
munlcatiun with one OF the fnest harbors
on the Atlantic C, ast. With the excep.
tion, Of nineteen milts, the entire bed Of
the. road have been graded, aud is ready
for the iron Thirty-Gye miles Of track
has been laid, upon which an engine and
train of cars are now running. This line
is of great Importance to Augusta, and it's
early completion will add greatly to the
wealth and prosperity of the city. 4
THE PORT ROYAL RA1LRoAD.-The
Augusta Chronicle andlS dlSeptfnslis informed
that, at the meeting &of't the directory Of
the Georgia Road, on Tuesday last, the
board voted in favor, of endorsing the
bonds of the Port Royal Company to the
amount of one million Of dollars. For this
loan of it's credit the Georgia Railroad will
receive one million two hundred thous-
and dollars of thestock Of the Port Royal
Company. This. stock will give the
G-ory yia Road controlling interestin the
affairs of the company. The endorsement
is not to be made nor the stock received
until the action Of the board Of directors
shall be approved and ratified by the
stockhslders, who win meet here in con-
vention next May. The Chronicle thinks
there is little doubt that this action will
| be approved and cohEirmed, By the stock

The fa1owing singular custom, prevails
among the French-speaking inhabitants OF
Lower Canada, being a sort OF rude system
of annuities or life assurance. When
the father and mother of family grow old,
and incapable of managing their affairs, it Is
their habit to sell their property in con-
sideration of life rent, paid in lind by the
purchaser. A recent number of paper
Published in the county Of ST. Maurice con-
tains an advertisement of such sale, with
specification of the articles to be delivered
annually. Among these are eight cords OF
mixed maple and birch wood, three feet
from point to soap, ffty-six pounds Of green
codfsh and six dozen Of salt herrings for
Lent, twelve pounds of tea, to cost at least
fifty ce It's IAN ecu) pound, fify-six ponnds

s<y~ The Custom House in this place was
entered between Saturday afternoon and
Sunday noon last and very generally over
hauled. The only pr operty missed was about
Sc. in money, a watch Of small value and
a pair of boots. Several foreign letters tor
seamcn were opened and thrown into the waste
basket, About 5 o'clock Sunday evening
another attempt was made to enter the
premises through trap door in the floor
but the thief was taken in the act, ne proved
to be colored boy of very bad reputation
named Washington Lopez. On Monday
afternoon he was tried before Justice Gleaves
and bound over in the sum Of $500 for tr a.
at the next t rm of court in June. None
of the property taken has been found except
