on condition that the Senator should erect
cotton mills, and other manufacturing estab-
lishments in Columbia. Up to this time the
Senator has failed to erect the establishments
that had been expected, and what is worse, he
does not seem inclined to do so. He was in
Columbia last week, and on being approached
with proposition by number of gentlemen
who agreed to raise 100000, if be would fur
nish like sum, for the purpose of organizing
joint stock company, declined the offer. He
proposed to sell the canal and its franchises
a gift to him from the State-asking for the
property the modest sum of 100000. 1t is
said he has expended $4,000, the great part
of which is in real estate adjacent, but not nec-
essary to the canal, which, as water-power, is
worth no more to-day than when he first took
possession of it. The action of Senator
Sprague seems inexplcable; but the true So
luton of his conduct is given, we think, in the
following paragraphs, the first ofwhich is from
the Columbia correspondent of the Nescs and
Courier, and the other from an editorial IN
the Columbia Herald: Says the correspon-
dent of the Neus and Courier:
"It is thought by many that this price is
intentionally put beyond all reasonable
bounds, and that he has no wish to sell, nor
will he himself 60 on with the work, the thor
ough completion of which might, by showing
the great advantages of the South in cotton
manufacture, cause him to lose heavily by the
depreciation in value Of his mills at the
North"
The Columbia Herald says editorially:
"Senator Sprague knows, as we'll as we do,
that with our glorious climate, our native
productions, our easy transportation, our con-
venient water powers, we could, IN a few
wears, run the northern wares out Of the mar
ket. Any experienced manufacturer can
look at Columbia with half an eye and won
der why it is not one of the largest manufac-
turing cities in the country. But men like
Sprague, with millions at their beck and nod,
are monopolsts and dictatorial by instinct,
habit and interest. Anything that operates
against their speciality must be crushed out,
peaceably if it can, but any way, if it must.
But it may be remembered that this is a tree
people, an earnest people, and an honest peo-
ple They welcome all men, but insist that
they shall deal square by them. The people
had right to expect that these natural ad-

CIVILIZATION BY CONTRACT.

IF the Shah of Persia has not yet learned
thatse new civilization is not to be acquired
in aslay by either a ruler or people, he is
in fair way TO learn it before long. He had
sagacity enough TO SEQ emly in his visit that
his plural household could not be carried with
him into Western Europe. But after he had
sent them back he seemed 70 learn nothing
about the position Of women among the Occ-
dentals as be is said to insult tho
high-born ladies he meets at the different
courts he visits, and when he sees pretty
face in the street, gives immediate orders to
a valet TO purchase it. 1t is an awkward and
ignorant approximation to tho morality
of the Parc-aux Cerfs, without any Of
that Christian superstition which gave 40
much of conscious wickedness TO the misdeeds
of Louis XIV. The Shah rebels with all the
energy and jealousy Of savage chief against

we have passed through this terrible social
and political crisis with 40 little harm that IN
eight years its effects have nearly disappeared.
The last political campaign seems to have
marked tho close Of the brief period

South had been gradually asserting itself for

The CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Probably in no part of the United States
will our national birthday be observed with
more befitting ceremonies than in the City Of
Philadelphia. The site for the great Centen-
NAL building, wherein all the peoples of the
earth are invited to gather in 1876, and re-
ioice over the completion of hundred years
of American Republcanism, will then be
dedicated with whatever solemnity the city
can put forth. There will be no such pageant
IA might attend a similar ceremonial in the
old world but the occasion Will be rich IN
interesting associations, and the orator OF
the day will be but poor type of the Ameli-
can citizen if he be not inspired by the scene
to something better than the. average elo-
ouence of the Fourth of July. II Ia little
more than stones throw to the spot where
the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The old Hall remains, and the old bell which
proclaimed liberty throughout all tho land
might be heard again if its voice were not
cracked. The place will be sacred with mem
ories of patriotism, courage, and devotion !;
and if we think then and there of our national
Oreediness, it will only be to feel ashamed Of
II.
Ten years ago the most hopeful of us hardly
supposed that celebration like this would be
possible 1t seemed then as if the centenary
festival must find us either two rival and in
dependent nations. or two hostile sections,
unwillingIy held together, sharing no aspira-
tions IN common, keeping no common holiday.
Few. of us imagined that, whatever might be
the issue Of tho war, its scars could be 30 soon
oblit6rated and its bitterness 80 soon forgot
ten. IL will be one of the most gracious re-
collections OF the day that brethren long es-
tranged will meet in cordial embrace, and SOL
diers who have fought against each other will
unite in saluting their common flag. Nothing
will speak 80 eloquenty as this Of the
real strength and glory of the
principles defined at Philadelphia in 1776
The progress Of America in the development
of her resources, the ingenuity of her inven-
tions. tho value Of her manufactures. the taste
and skill OF her artisdns,. tho culture of her

WHICH WAS RIGHT1

Louisiana editor having a dispute with
A lawyer, challenged him to mortal combat.
The disDHtants met yesterday, near New Or
leans, and the editor killed the lawyer at the
second shot. The preliminary circumstances
are briefly these: Mr. Rhett, the editor of
The Picay,tnc, published at New Orleans, was
concerned in libel suit brought by one OF
the members of the Lynch Returning Board.
Mr.. w. II. Cooley was one of the counsel
for the plaintiff. The Picavune made certain
remarks Oh the argument of the counsel
which were specially distasteful TO Mr. COoley,
who addressed note TO the editor demanding
an explanation. To this the editor made a
curt and somewhat evasye reply in his jour
nal. Mr.. Cooley then, in a card published in
The Times of New Orleans, gave his version
of the entire dispute, and concluded by
publishing Mr.. Rhetts as AN unmiti-
gated caIumnlator, a deliberate and will
" full falsiiier an artful dOdger, and withal,
"a thorough paced braggart." Mr. Rhett con-
sidered, probably. that he must shoot at Mr..
Cooley and Mr. Cooley must shoot at him
after the usual formula provided by the
dueling code. SO he sent him challenge !;
and tho result was that sOmethn 2
more than a mere exchange Of shots took
place. Mr.. Cooley was struck through the
heart by bullet, at forty yards, and died in
six minutes. The surviving principal IN the
affair and the seconds exchanged what is
called "ths usual ciyihties" and then sep
arated.
Probably Mr. Rhctt, having been the in
suited party, AZ well az the challenger and
the slayer, now considers that he has abun-
dainty refuted the charges which Mr. Cooley
published against him. He killed a man to
establish the fact that he was not a
calumniatOr, falsifer, artful dodger. "and
&" withal. a thorough paced brageart." Has he
done it In the days when men walked over
burning plowshares to prove their innocence
of crimes imputed to them. or fought in the
arena to establish the truth of their own boast
ings the termination of this bloody transaction
might have been accepted as conclusive. But it
will have no such effect in these times No
reasonable person will think any more highly
of Mr.. Rhett's honor, truthfulness, and modest
worth because he has killed man who said
he possessed none of these qualities. He
might have killed Cooley with a car-hook or
shOt him on q hotel staircase OF both persons
might have rum across the boundary line of the
United States ana fred pistols in the air, and
then have exchanged "the usual cvilities,n
unharmed. But here was murder with all
the absurd formalities of the medi9Yal ages.
The array Of these technical details is sup
posed to denude the homicide of its murder
GUS responsibilities, and constitute it "an
affair Of honor" merely. Mr. Rhett is in
error. He has proved nothing whatever. He
has only fought in single combat which he
invited and has killed his fellow that 3 all. =.

consent to do the additional work imposed
upon them, if by 50 doing they can maintain
the dignity and purity of the Bench, while
the better portion of the Bar OF the State
will cheerfuly cooperate with them in the
same good cause.

Another reminiscence of the operations OF
the Credit MObilier Association was brouGht
out yesterday. The Union Pacific Railroad
Company having been enjoined on the suit OF
the United States, from paying the interest
due on such of its bonds as may have Deen
illegally disposed of, gave notice to that
effect 1t is understood that the corporation
have the funds ready to meet the July inter
est; but, in consequence of this injunctlon'
they have prescribed u series OF lnterroga-
tories designed to ascertain the various own
ership of the bonds presented, so that noue OF
enioined interest may be paid. The ontifo
amount of first mortgage bonds is S27."57,OOo )
and it is thought that at least s2t'OOO'OOO Oh
these are in the hands of innocent holders
The action taken by the Government is likely,
therefore, to work hardship to persons who
are in no manner concerned with any of the
improper transactions of the corporation;
but there seems to be no help for 1t.

THE BRooKLYN CHARTER SIGNED.

We would be glad TO believe that the report
that Gov. Dix has signed the Brooklyn char
ter is untrue IL is certainly mistake on MS
part TO have signed document which, framed
by the RefOrmers, was 80 distorted as 10 De
come in the end Ring instrument. lie VIII
probably discover this in time. For the present
il ia a serious obstacle TO Reform IN Brook
lyn, but is not insurmOuntable. IL may retard
Reform there; it cannot finally defeat
it. A veto of the charter would have
seriously complicated the Rings game.
It was an act framed in the Ring inter
est. 1t WA sent to Albany by so-called
Reform Committee, of which the Ring Con-
troller, Mr.. Schroeder, and Ring member OF
the Board of City Works, Mr.. Whiting, are
leading members. After being presented to
the Legislature, it was referred to the Two
Kings County Ring Senators, Me5srs. Murphy
and Perry, and in the room OF the latter
Ring member, Mr.. Fowler, and the Ring
Secretary, Mr.. NOrthrup, of the Board OF City
Works, spent three days in curtailing 1t Of It's
farest proportions. The original bill reduced
the number Of Ofice-hOlders; the altered
document increases them. Originally the bill

stands it augments this expense by fully
$4,000 a year The bill as 1t left the
Committee made the Common Council
responsible for all contracts when it went
from the Legislature. the Board of City
Works was practically invested with this
authority. Assessments in the bill a. it stands
ace without limit; patent payements may be
forced upon property against their
wishes; arrearages of taxes are allowed to
accumulate at rate which will fairly rob en-
barrassed property -owner5. In short the new
charter makes the Ring against which it was
directed more powerful than ever it has been.
But no charter, no partisan organization, no
political machinery is potent enough to with
stand the indignation of people oppressed as
those of Brooklyn have been by this Ring.
The final resort to the polls is the mex. step
which they must take. and they well deserve
still to be plundered If they do not there right

Reference to the Washington dispatches Of
THE TRIBUNE will show that the Treasury
Department, at least, does not favor the
theory that the undrawn back pay of Congress
men reverts 10 the Treasury without any
action by those who are supposed to be
entitled TO it. The plea that Congressman
need only let it alone. if they do ro, 'rtsnd
to draw their share of che back pa, seems to
be entirely baseles5.
