fIHE SPARTANDURG AND AsHRvrLIE
IL. R.-This great enterprise which seeks
to connect our South Atlantic seaboard
with the West, experiences a serious loss
by the resignation of Mr. Memminger
from its Presidency and direction.
Charleston however could not reason
ably have expected to have retained con.
troll of an interest that must seek a mere
desirable outlet for direct trade if the
connection with the Great West is to be
made competitive with Baltimore. The
fact is Charleston would be but remotely
benefited by the success of the enterprise,
as necessity would exist in that event for
the establishment with the deep water fac
1lities of Port Royal harbor of straight
line to the Ocean through that Port vim
Augusta 1t would not only be a round
about way to reach the Ocean through
Charleston but after it was reached
its facilities would be found insufficient to
develop. the trade of the great West.
Without utilizing the incompatible
advantages OF the deep water of Port
Royal, Wilmington would successfully
compete with Charleston for all the trade
either of those Ports could afford. by
reason OF the shallowness of their bars.
We consider the success of The Spar.
tanburg and Asheyille R.R. and the es-
Establishment Of Port Royal as the Great
southern entrepot .as mutually depen.
dent upon each other. '-1, 's7s ~

An interesting question is coming to a
test in the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, Miss Carrie Z. Fisher, a
colored woman, is determined to find out
whether the civil rights bill gives her the
right to ride in the cars of the Pullman
Company. She applied in Cincinnati on
on the 14th. of July for ticket to the
sleeping car to Washington, and was re-
fused. MIss. Fisher was school teacher
and was sick. She was returning from
Mississippi, and needed the comforts OF
n Pullman car. Being obliged to ride
IN an ordinary car she suffered In her
1nfirm condition. and has sued the COM
pany for damages. We do not see how
the company can maintain itself in the
refusal to accommodate passenger under
these circumstances. The Pullman sleep.
ing cars have become part of the equip
ment of most of the railroads Of the
country, and the courts will probably de-
eide that the separate ownerships of
particular cars does not give the owners
the right to choose heir patrons.
1t would be comfort to travellers who
make much use of sleeping cars to know
that sick people were excluded from
them, but such a rule would be wholly
out OF the question. Sick people must
travel sometimes, and they are entitled
to the best accommodations. AS to the
civil rights question, why should not the
Pullman Company sell berth to res
pectable colored school teacher, as well as
to Mrs. Shoddy fc- her colored servants
Such discrimination is unjust and can
not be enforced.

Protect the Birds.

The Legislature of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey displayed their
wisdom and humanity several
years since, by enacting stringent
laws for the protection of insectiv-
orous birds, and although a suffi-
Client length of time has not elaps-
ed to prove the immense value of
those laws, we shall in a few years
learn to know their full import
ance. The Philadelphia Chronicle
well says that a more unmanly pur
suit than that of shooting small
birds we cannot well conceive of.
1t is not only cruel, but the farmer
who permits his premises to
be invaded by such pot
hunters deserves to have his
crops destroyed by noxious insects.
If farmers were sufficiently famil-
lar with the value of birds, they
would be the most earnest advo-
Gates for their protection. In
France, some years ago, mania
for shooting small birds prevailed
to such an extent that the field
crops were almost wholly destroy
ed, and so alarming had insect raw
ages become, that the Emperor
Napoleon issued an edict absolute
ly forbidding further slaughter.
The beneficial effects were very
soon apparent in the crops, and the
same result may be looked for in
our State in the coarse of a few
years, provided farmers are suffi-
GENTLY wsse to enforce the re-
strairs of the wholesome laws to
which we have alluded.

stout English Girls.

A correspondent Of the Hartford
Times, writing from Swiss inn,
says: "A few days ago, just at dusk ],
after a cold rain had sat in, two
English girls and their handsome,
gray-haiTed father arrived. They
were cold, and damp, and; as we
sat by our blazing fire and heard
them 60 into their cold rooms, we
pitied them SO much that we open
ed our door and invited them to
share our warmth and cDmfort--so
they came in and we chatted to-
gether all the evening. Those two
bright, fresh-looking girls sat
calmly in their chairs and told us
they had crossed from Meiringen
to the Rhone Glacier over the Grim
sci on foot, the day before, through
2 foot Of snow-had walked nine
miles down the valley that morn
ing, and had then climbed all the
way from Viesch to the hotel on
foot in the rain that afternoon.
We looked at them aghast, and
murmered, 'Tired?' con, no, they
brlskly chorused; and indeed they
did look most revolving fresh and
pretty. When we appeared in the
morning, father (who always
comes into breakfast from out of
doors, with blast fcold air, very
much as if he slept on the nearest
glacier) announced that those En-
glish girls started to walk up to the
summit of the Eggischhorn two
hours ago and are comming back
in time to cross the Alctach glacier
to 90 to the Belle Alp for the night!
Before long they came in brisk and
rosy as usual: 'Oh no! not tireo at
all {! land without waiting for any
thing more than lunch. they were
off again. We groaned in spirit as
we saw them disappear around a
promontory."
