REwARDs-Last winter the General Assem-
bly, of the State appropriated 1000 to the
payment of claims for rewards offered by Gov.
Scott for the arrest of Ku Klux. The claims
have been referred to a commission, which has
not yet reported. 1t is stated, however, that a
certain Circuit Judge of South Carolina has
succeeded in making raise" on these re-
wards.
We are collecting some information on this
subject and shall ventilate the matter. We
want to know if to be a Judge, is a licc use to
practice bribery and corruption before the
Legislature? We knew things were bad
enough, but not this bad.-GreenviHe Republi-

Western farmers are turning their atten-
tion to the South. The severity and length Of
their winters, tie embarrassments of transpor-
tation rendering their products almost valueless,
has greatly dissatisfied them with their present
homes. With proper encouragement, thou
sands at the North and Northwest would come
to our more genial climate. In view of this
fact, we observe that North Alabama is estab-
fishing land agencies and issuing circulars to
he disseminated in the Western States to give
the people of that section information and
inducements to change their base. Books are
opened for the registration of lands for sale,
setting forth terms, ETC.

Is Anderson on the Best Route7

On reference to the proceedings Of the re-
cent convention in Augusta, it will be seen
that the route contemplated for the Northwest
ern and South Atlantic Railroad is only indi-
Gated in general way. From Chicago to
indianapolis; thence to Lexington, Ky.;.
thence to Knoxville, Tenn, with branch
from an eligible point, through Cumberland
Gap, in the direction of Asheyille, N. C.);
from Knoxville over the line of the Blue Ridge
Railroad to Clayton, Ca; thence over the most
practicable line to the city of Augusta and the
South Atlantic coast. The third resolution
provides for the appointment of committee of
ten gentlemen, whose duty will be to report as
to distances, practicabilty and cost of different
routes, general and special resources of differ
ent sections, and such other matter as may be
deemed advisable. Our townsman, Gen. j. w.
Harrison, is the author of the resolutions, and
chairman of the committee aforesaid, but in
justice to that gentleman we desire to say that
it will not be expected of him, or indeed any
of the committee, to favor any particular line
on any section of the entire route. Hence,
although Gen. Harrison is more thoroughly
familiar with the respective claims of the sew
eral lines on this end of the route than any
other person, and is identified with the line
from Clayton through Anderson to Augusta,
we cannot expect him to assume partisan
position in this matter. His committee Must
judge and act impartially, irrespective of pri:
vate and local considerations, in order to meet
the views of the projectors. Therefore, we
would renew the suggestion made last week,
that the duty of pressing the claims Of the
route by Anderson be delegated to competent
persons, with instructions to fairly and fully
set forth the advantages of this route before
the committee and all others interested, $50.
that our town and section may be equallysrep-;
resented with other competing points. We
believe that this railroad is to be built at no
distant day, and no sane man can doubt its
desirability to any community. The opportu-
nifty for urging the route by Anderson is now
presented, and we would be guilty of incom-
prehensible folly not to act promptly at this
time. Will the citizens of Anderson neglect
this golden opportunity2

- The Cincinnati Gazette, one of General
Grants organs, says that "the Congressional
salary bill has killed more public men politi-
caly than any measure ever adopted by any
legislative body. And it has killed them with
out regard to party relations. We have never
observed such storm of indignation, or
greater unanimity of sentiment than has been
verdict, but verdict of the people without
regard to party. And the storm will not blow
over. Those Congressman who expect it to
subside will be grievously disappointed"

- The four States of South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, and Alabama, are compelled to
buy about 5O,OO0OOO bushels of grain from
Northwestern producers every year. For this
they pay on an average nearly 54,0C0,000.
But of this amount the western grain growers
got less than $l6,OOO,0OO. The $3S,0O0,000
which the people of the consuming States pay
over the amount realized by the producer is
divided among different transportation compa-
nies. That's how the money goes.
