We hope that the City Council at its meet
;no tonight, will take action in opposition
To the infamous Blue Ridge Railroad bill
now before the State Senate. The citizens
NJ Charleston are deeply concerned In de-
featins this bill, because it adds load OF
81 300. 900 to the debt Of the State without
apy lust equivalent; because it gives the
present Blue Ridge Railroad Company the
mower to extend their line or build branches
to apy part OF South Carolina, and because
it places the whole Blue Ridge Railroad
property, costing about four million dollars
IN the hands OF q party OF greedy specula-
tors who paid only $4,000 for the $780,
600 OF State stock which controls the road,
and who do not even promise that they will
complete the road when, freed from all debt
whatsoever, it is left in their care.
We believe that the sale Of the State stock
in the Blue Ridge Railroad is OF questiona-
ble validity, and that the Ring directors and
President Patterson himself were not legally
elected. But, apart from these points, we
have the certainty that the City subscription
to the stock OF the road is upon the verge Of
extinction, and that it is proposed to give to
a clique OF irresponsible trichsters a power
which will enable them to divert from
Charleston the whole benefit Of the railroad
system, 10 secure which the City has In.
Cured q debt Of more.than a million dollars.
we think that the City Council should
protest against the passage Of the Blue
Ridge Bill, and should instruct the City At,
torney, Mr.. Corbin, who is also one OF the
Senators from Charleston. to take such steps
as may be necessary for the protection OF
our interests. This will, at least, prevent
the supporters of the Blue Ridge bill from
saying, a. they do say, that Charleston
cares so little about her million OF money
and her Western connections, that she is not
willing, to submit to the Legislature the rea-
sons why the measure should not pass a
statement so gratuitously unjust should re-
ceiye on unequlvocal contradiction.

Tho Late Senator RngaD.
IErOm the Baton Rnuue IOurnall

The painful intelligence comes to lis OF
the death Of Senator George w. Raglan,
editor of this journal Well may it be said
that no man knOweth when his hour may
come. He who but yesterday, as it were.
was in our midst doing battle in the cause
of freedom, right and justice to all, is now
sleeping the sleep that knows no waking.
In the loss of Senator Raglan, Baton
Rouge loses one of her champions in the
behalf of Republicanism. Coming from
the far West in the ranks of the Union
army, Senator Raglan located here, having
baptized his firm principle with the 'lusket
and the sword. The very principles that
have actuated him through his political
career here in our midst, prompted him at
the hour of his country's peril to go forth
and do be tile for it.
1t seems hard that just at this time when
the enemies of Republicanism swarm around
us, that this staunch and thorough going
Republican should have been taken from
IN. No man ever stood firmer in his cOa-
victions than did Senator Raglan. When
once his mind was made up, the resem
blance to "Old Hickory was plain to be
seen. His honesty of purpose has been
thoroughly developed during the present
session of the Legislature. Ever Identified
with trutL and justice, we find him at the
hour of his death still adhering to the party
that represents those principles.
Senator Raglan has been sufferer in
bodily health for some time. His life we
may say has been sacrificed for his country.
as it was from the effects OF disease con
tracted while in the army that at this hour
has made him subject OF the angel OF

The Arms selling Investigation.

We copy the following extract of letter
from Washington to the Chicago Tribune
by their regular correspondent, Cath"
WASHINGTON, February 21.-The Presi-
dents selt-styled friends are raising another
row over the arms-selling Investigation.
You can see them every day - Morton,
COnkling, Edmunds, Nye, Pratt and Car
penter-picking up chips to throw on the sly
at Sumner and Schurz; but it is an old
fight. Sumner gets up now and then, and
falls on them; Schurz impales them and
then Upton gets up, and fails them.
Stripped Of the heavy vesture of debate,
and putting the direct question, was it not
scandal for a nation which is just 1aking
up Nemsis case against England for let
ting certain vessels slip through her fingers,
to be actually using TIE arsenals through
out the country to make fixed ammunition
under contract for French agents, every
Minnie ball and bullet of which was in
tended to open road through German lives
for another Napoleonic conquest of Ger
many! How could Mr.. Bancroft Davis
have amplifed this horrible outrage had it
been committed by the arsenals of England,
to give the confederate soldiers missiles tor
use at Gettysburg, Chambersburg and
Nashville! Besides, to put it in a dramatic
way, there were the muskets and rifles
which German-Americans had borne over
all the battle-helds OF the country, sold tor
a dollar, and less than dollar frequently,
apiece, put into the. hands of the French
Communists to be pointed against the
Fatherland.
Belittle this matter as the administration
may. the fact will carry indignation to hun
dreds Of thousands Of German men and
women in Wisconsin, California, Illinois,
Ohio and New York. 1t is queer that to
send ship. without arms, from the port Of
Liverpool, is a matter of reclamation, with
compound interest, when to load millions of
cartridges with powder and ball, in the
arsenals, to be used against another country
with which ours is at peace, merely comes
under commercial regulations" and is
perfectly legitimate
Carl Schurz said, in this debate. what is
well understood here, that there is a mill
tary ring, composed of bureau officers and
officers of the army, which directed our
army affairs, and had its emissaries even at
the Presidents elbow How shall we ever
investigate these abuses, coming home as
they do to the very life of the nation for,
with q corrupt army, what safety have we
in time of war, if, perhaps, the men who
command may sell out for cash)

The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday says

Yesterday the Louisville and Portland ca
nal was open for boats, and at least half a
dozen passed through. 1t is not calculated
to heighten the joy of steamboatmen at the
progress of the great work that toll OF fifty
cents per ton is still charged upon each
boat-a toll that amounts in the case of
large boats to 5000 and $500. There can be
no doubt that this excessive burden on the
river commerce should be removed Such
charges only should be imposed as will pay
the current expenses of the canal. This is
the next step to take ip the improvement Of
