MOVEMENT
The Madison State Journal of last Sat
urday says:
The new Wisconsin Railroad Company got through
the Secretarys Office in good shape The papers were
al right believe and the committee appointed Wis
tied the Governors Office to inquire what securities
needed. Governor Washburn took from his
drawer bond drawn up by the Attorney General, to
be used in the Milwaukee St. Paul Company
took the giant. 1t provides that the road shall be
built precisely according law. and for each mile
built within the time limited the Company is
bound to pay the State five thousand dollars.
This forfeiture applies only to the main line, sixty
miles OF which were be built this year. The bond
was not signed as the matter assumed business-like
not % say serious aspect, at this point 1t is some
thing 81 n undertaking for a new company TO at
tempt at this time of the year. build sixty miles of
road in 1878
The matter is under advsement, and we believe the
prospect is considered very hopeful
The act comforting the grant, does not re-
quire the first sixty miles of road to be COM
pleted in l873," but specifies as the time
one year from and after the passage of
this act" The act was passed March II,
50 that the sixty miles would require com
pletion only by that date, in 1874.
Ii may be short time in which to build
the sixty miles in question, but the new
company was acquainted with the bill and
all its provisions before offering to deposit
securities with the Governor, aud it is not
clear why they should offer security at all,
it they expected to forfeit what was offer
ed, unless they expected also that the Sc
curity demanded would be merely nominal
As the hackers Of the new company are
said to control twenty millions of dollars, it
seems strange they should not feel able to
build the roads on time, and SO give the
one-and-a-quarter millions security without
hesitation, and proceed at once to do, what
IN word they have already professed their
willingness and ability to undertake. We
hope the company is enough in earnest to
deposit the security, and commence the
work without delay.

THE St. Paul Press of June a, comes out
fat-footed in favor Of state control and
ownership of railways. An editorial of
over a column, concludes: THE only way
out of this dilemma it seems to us, is for
the State to rid itself of the monopolies who
own public highways, and who, by virtue
of that ownership, will control them in
spite OF restrictive or regulative legislation,
by buying them out, and operating the
roads under State authority"

The extension Of the Northern Pacific
line from Rice's Point, as already shown is
to De completed in eight months after the
work is under way. As the right Of way

ANOTHER railroad magnate Is out of the
way. The news that Huntington of the
Central Pacific has sold out, is swiftly fol-
lowed by the news that Horace Z. Clark Of
the Union Pacific is dead. Clark was a
son-in-law of Com. Vanderbilt, and success
sor of Tom Scott in the Union Pacific man.
agement. 1t was his ambition to have an
Atlantic and Pacific line, under his sole
management. The connection between
Chicago and Omaha was the last to make.
This was secured by forcing the resigna-
ton Of John T. Tracy, and securing the
election Of Clark's partner, Albert Keep,
to the Presidency of the Chicago & North
western railway company The transac-
ton took place on the 10th inst Clark
died the same day Of rheumatism of the
heart. He was 58 years old. Who will
assume the reins of railroad empire in his
place, it Is hard to say. The country will
need the Northern Pacific railway more
than ever, since Clark's last great combina-
ton of railway interests, has formed an At
lantic and Pacific monopoly.

Mr. WIN. c. observation-disclosures was re-
ceived in the city yesterday of the death OF
Mr.. VIM c. Davis, the junior member of the
firm of Dowie, Noise & Davis, of Charleston.
The deceased was born in Abbeville County,
and was about thirty years old at the time of
his death. At the commencement of the war
he came to Charleston and took the field in
the ranks of the Palmetto Guard, with which
organization he served honorably until the
close of the war. He then went to Anderson,
where he established himself in the drug busi-
ness. Seven years ago he came to Charleston
and connected himself with the house of
Dowie & Noise. His indomitable zeal and
enerry, together with his pleasant and attrac-
tive MANNER, won for him host of friends, and
his activity and usefulness to his employees
soon won their entire confidence and esteem.
About two years ago he became member of
the firm, and the style of the house was
changed to Dowie, Noise & Davis. He was q
young man of exalted character, and was
universally liked. In Charleston, his adopted
home, he surrounded himself with host of
warm, personal friends. Several months ago
he was attacked with typhoid fever, from the
effects of which he never entirely recovered,
and which was the cause of his last illness.
he died yesterday morning at the residence Of
his father-in-law, the Hon. J. P. Reed, in An
derson.-Neacs and Courier, 18Th inst.

Opr Visit to South Carolina.

After weeks absence we are again seated
in our editorial sanctum, with pleasant memo
ries of the beautiful Palmetto State stirring
within our heart. Our visit was to the lovely
village of Anderson, place noted tor its
beauty and elegance, and the charming hos
pitality of its refined inhabitants
The County Fair opened the day OF our
arrival there, and Notwithstanding painfully
sore throat gave drawback to our enjoyment,
with feelings of interest we Joined the vast
throng congregated upon the beautiful grounds
in the suburbs Of the village.
Having under our escort and protection one
of Anderson's fair daughters, who had been on
visit to Georgia, we soon found ourself very
popular (thanks to the dy)-who, by the way,
was the centre of attraction; and the little
Runaway" as she was styled, was welcomed
back with outpourngs of love from the many
hearts that beat gladly and fondly on her re-
turn.
But to return to the exhibitions on hand at
the Fair. Many articles of the beautiful, the
useful, ingenious and tasteful, were to be seen.
Large quantities of exquisite needlework, with
ether elegant handiwork, reflected great credit
on the ladies-indeed, some articles in their
department surpassed. in make and finish,
articles of the same kind that we have seen on
exhibition at our State Fairs.
The exhibitions in tho agricultural depart
ment conveyed to the mind ideas of the indus
try and talent of the surrounding neighbor-
hood, and the energy and fine sense of the
farming population A few of the products,
,khat,we might mention, could not be surpassed
even in Southern Georgia. For instance, we
saw sweet potatoes ranging from four to ten
pounds, and stalk of cotton containing 1o9
open bolls, that hung from their stems like
heecy snow fakes.
The various CONNECTIONS, wines and edlDles,
were charming and delicious in their way and
the throng of fair ladies promenading the
pleasant walks, or seated in elegant equlpages,
enhanced the attractiveness of the scene. But
right here we must say, that though the ladies
of Carolina are distinguished for winning man
ners, dignity and intellectually, the Georgia
ladies surpass them in personal beauty. Why,
we are beginning to believe that there is more
bright eyes, more fair and lovely faces and
graceful forms in Georgia, than in any of the
Southern States.
Upon the ground we were pleased to meet
many of the gentleman acquaintance, who
treated us so Hospitality when visiting their
town about year ago-amongst them Mr.. j.
a.. Hoys, the talented editor of the Intelhgen-
Ger, Col. B. F. Whitner, Mr.. G. A. Reed, Mr. A.
r. Broyles, with his ready wit, the inlmitable
George Miller, Drs. Brown and Narden, the
venerable DR.. Broyles, the Hon. j. P. Reed,
looking if possible more princely and noble
than Of yore, and last, though not least, Capt
Sam Pegg, to whom we are gratefully Indebted
for many courtesies and favors.
Our second Wis., to Anderson will long be
green spot in memory, and the many old and
new friends we there met will only be forgot
tan with death.-Dclton &c., Citizen.

Death Of the Sleeping Beauty.

We learn from the Hickman Courier that
Miss Susan Caroline Godsey, known as the
sleeping beauty, died at the residence of her
mother, In Obion county, Tennessee, on the
9th ult. She had attained the age of 81 years,
and had been in her sleeping condition about
"a years.
It will be remembered that her case has ex-
cited great interest, and given rise to much in
vestigation and discussion among scientific men.
The true nature of her afaiction, however,
was never understood, and will doubtless always
remain mystery.
She was brought to Nashville in the fall of
medical aid, but was really in charge of an
agent, who contemplated making an exhibition
of her. She was accompanied by brother and
other relations, who were very much attached
to her. While they were in Nashville they
boarded at the house of Major Bruce, on Mar
ket street, and the sleeper was constantly
watched by Mrs. Bruce, who took great inter
est in her. She remained under Mrs. Bruce's
care eleven days. While there she was visited
by q great many persons, and had with her one
or more physicians all the time. She awaken
ed every hour, night and day, at almost the
same second each time, and remained awake
from seven to ten minutes. Just after going to
sleep each time she had convulsions that shook
the room, and at such times she appeared to be
suffering great pain. When asleep she was
dead to everything, but when awake talked
pleasantly and iutellgently, sometimes mes, com
planning of pain, and exclaimin1g, "Oh. my
headp' and when she awakened she invariably
asked for water, but ate very little. She said
she had no consciousness of ever having
dreamed and that it was no pleasure for her to
live afflicted as she was. She was very sensi-
tive, and appeared mortified to think that she
was being exhibited. Her afflictiOn was inau;
gurated BY spell Of :, chils; s.. Some medical a
then took; Others say that the chills were pre-
cursory to her long sleeping state.
Upon leaving Nashville she went to St. Louis
and remained there short tme 1t asSaad sad
that that she was an imposition. She soon returned
to the home of her mother, and has remained
there ever since.
