Southern Claims.

WASHINGTON, d. G; February a.
Southern claimants are indignant over
the report of the Senate Claim Commit

any recommendation. The result is that
the bill goes on the calender and remain
there unless some Senator urges action,
and no one seemed disposed to do this.
Claimants who have incurred considera-

The last spike ON the Port Royal
railroad was driven at the four mile
post, near Augusta, at seven o clock
on Friday evening, aud at ten o'clock
on Friday night the first through
train from Port Royal was vel
coined in Augusta by the booming
of cannon and a general jollifcation
among the officers of the road and

For years the freedmen of the Sea
Islands, dated all things from the
"dny de gun shoot" They rightly
associated their freedom from slave
ry with that November day in 1861,
and we will as certainly date our
nrosperitv from the day which
placed us in direct communication
with the great West.
We wish it were possible to as
semble all those to whose sagacity,
foresight and enterprise we are in
debted for the inception, the pro-
gress and the completion of this
work. But death has robbed US OF
some, while war aud its misfortunes
has scattered others. Geo. P. Ell
liot lived to see his darling project
in the way to realization-how would
he have exulted now! r. j. Da-
want has passed away so recently
that the success of the road in which
he had taken so deep an interest
was at least assured. Yet it would
have added to our pleasure to have
had him to rejoice with US,
Those of us who remember the
first meeting in favor of the Port
Royal railroad held in Beaufort af-
ter the close of the war cannot but
remember how more than doubtful
was the prospect. We thought it
would do no harm to talk about it,
but the proceedings were looked
upon by many as nearly farcical,
There was one there who was in
earnest-aead earnest. S. G. Mil
lett was asked to address the meet
ing. He surprised all by the ex-
tent of his knowledge of the sub,
ject. All agreed that twas necessa-
ry to the welfare of this region,
none denied the advantages Of our
harbor, but few shared his faith in
the certainty Of its completion.
Yet that meeting was really the re-
vival of the Port Royal railroad
project, and we are glad to feel that
we were not among the scoh'ers.
From that day to this his energy
has never tired, his efforts have
never intermittod, his hope has ncy-
er faltered. To him more than to
all others put together We owe our
present success.

attended but was lively enough to make
mp what it lacked in numbers.
The question box brought forth many

four miles an hour only, and when with

as the train was running so slowly
there was no damage done save break
