TIE SOUTH cAROLLN1i RAlLROAD,
Mr.. James of Georgia is determined
as, ,fav rs in his power lies, to change the
control of this road, and has advertized
extensively to this effect, requesting
country papers to insert his cards. Our
county represents large number of
shares, aud we have but one suggestion
to offer. IA decided feeling of dissatis-
faction prevails with regard to the road,
and general belief that the company
can pay dividends. We do not think
thattthc gentlemen who compose the di-
rectorship. the road, indulge .iu a nom
payment Of dividends, merely for the
luxury Of the thing. 1t is hardly posi-
BE inthis time of money pressure, that
theYywould. be SO blind to their interests,
and ythet of the stockholders they repre-
sent sby pursuing such course. AT the
same time it would be well, if every
county in the Sstate owning stocE could
be represented in the board This would
give fair and Impartial knowledge of
thc5hffairs 81 he'road, and satisfy many
who arc in doubt. The company he's
had ls 4 9 backset by the wholesale destruc;
tion of its property during the war, and
byan. accumulation of interest ON its
liabilities, that eight years could not
rub out; and our people had better be
assured thoroughly whatthey are do
ing, before they cast the die. Experien-
ced end honorable men are now at the
helm, and IN. experiment may prove fa-
tal both to the road, and its stockholders.

lose three months from hard winters: A

this would create town, demand for

has descended to those, whose measurina
ofjustice, is doled out in accordance with
the pay ofthe Office. We, admit that SO
exalted astrust aslas.a Judgeship, should
be invested with, salary sufficient to COM
pensatc one Whose entire time is alb
sorbed in its grave duties. Comforts and
convcniences should be allowed, to rid his
mind of any extraheous business, ealcu-
lated to weaken his efficiency. But that
either scantincss of pay, or prodigality
of reward, should Influence his upright
ness, or affect his fortitnde, is q code of
ethics quite peculiar to new school, and
at variance with the old. The "Lord
high chancellor" of England may regard.
as necessities, his coach and four, and
outriders, his hounds and his chateau,
while the parish magistrate ekes out an
existence on an hundred pounds year..
But that either should defect from rem
ditior of Justice, on account of the cir
thfnstances surrounding the physical man,
would not afford sufficient plea to the
sufferer, from the moral delinquency of
his Judge. Both accepted the trust to
discharge its functions for the public
good and not according to the amount
of pay it yields. Such reasoning is op-
posed to the nature of the position, and
conceding its truth, we rend the ban
dage from the eyes of even handed JUS
tice, and leave the scales to settle on the
side of bribery. Honor shall have de-.
serted the bench to knavery, and the
hateful thing.

What if the tatterdcmalion ON trial
for theft should plead "give me sufi-
cheney, and 1 will not be forced to steal"
would this justify his offence: Fortitude
founded Upon Honor needs only the stif.
ficicncy Of that firm unyielding PATIENCE
that fixes its hold on the right, and de-
fies threats, and bribes, cajolery or men
ace, to induce the exchange of justice for
injustice The question of what consti-
tutes sufficicncy belongs to the man,
ard not the office, neither the exalted
Judge, nor the low hireling has alright
to bound his probity By the pay he re-
ceives: Its true that the requirements
of the office demand talent, and tharac-
ter, that are not to be had cheaply.-
Still its nature appeals not to the physi:
Gel tastes and appetitcs, it demands the
sacred convictions Of Honor and Truth,
and moral virtue should poise the beam
that weighs the cause ofjustice

RENEWAL OF NEGOTIATIONS.


PROPOSITION TO DELIVER THE VIKGlSlus 10
THIRD poWFR--gEFUsAL OF OUR GOVERNMENT
TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUEST
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSRI
WASHINGTON Dec. 5-Secretary Fish received
from Madrid to-day. long dispatch in which the
Spanish iCabinet asks the United States to agree
that instead of delivering the Virgnius directly to
the United States authorities she should be placed
in the hands of n neutral power, there to remain
until the question whether she was a bona fde
American vessel or not shall have been determined.
Secretary Fish replied, tins afternoon, that the
agreement having been arranged, the United States
did not wish to be party to any change IN It's
terms and therefore, declined to accede TO the re-
quest.
Ii is believed at the State Department that the re-
port from Cuba this morning that the Captaln-ien-
eral has resigned is true and the situation IN Cuba
is considered as grave. Still it is hoped that public
excitement viii gradually subside In Havana, and
that the Spanish Government will be able to carry
out its part of the agreement. The session of the
Cabinet to-day was very generally believed 10 have
lasted all the afternoon, from the fact that the
members remained at the White House until after
o'clock The members of the Cabinet are very ap-
prehensive of trouble and are individually, by no
means satisfied that Spain will be able to satisfy our
demands as she has agreed TO do. As yet no time
has been fixed for returning the Nrginius, but the
vessel must of course, be released before the 10Th
inst, at which time the flag is TO be Sautcd.

THE SUPREME COURT DENIES THE LEGALITY or THE
PROVISIONS MADE BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON
yENTION FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION.
1871 TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSEl
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Sin the Supreme Court,
to-day, an injunction was granted prohibiting the
vote on the new State Constitution from beng taken
in any other manner than that provided under the
existing laws of the COMMONWEALTH is, pro-
hibitng the adoption of the method for taking the
vote formulated by the members of the Convention
by which the new Constitution was framed. The
authority under which the Convention claimed
10 have the right TO declare in what man
ner the election shall be held was that con-
viewed by the 9Th section Of the Legislative act
of April H. 1872, which gives that body the power to
submit the amendments at such time times, and
in such manner IA it shall prescribe. The Court,
however held that the word manner" related
merely to the submission of the Constitution in
parts. instead of as q whole. and that under the
sixth section of the act il was clearly provided
that the election should be conducted the general
elections of this Commonwealth are now conducted,
and that consequently the Convention, i'll framing
election laws transcribed its delegated power. In
concluding his opinion, Chef-Justice Agnew said:
The Convention is coordinate branch OF tho Govern
ment It excuses no governmental power but is a
body raised by law In the popular desire 10 dis
cuss and propose amendments which have no govern
ing force so long they remain propositions While "
acts within the scope Of Its delegated powers IL IL not
amenable for its acts but when IL to legslate
repeal and displace existing Institutions before they
are displaced by the adoption OF its propositions IL acts
without authority and the citizens injured thereby are
entitled under the declaration Of rights. to an open
court and to redress hands Az the granting OF
the Injunction was in by all the Justices OF the
Supreme Court it is hardly likely that motion for
reargument OF the case will be granted.
