reconciliation and for harmony, is in
the assembling Of a convention repre-
santing, the views Of the people, who can
act as :llmpirea on our differences, ard
whose award either way would command
respect and urge obedience. In the dis.
cusssioniof this question we should COM
fine ourselves at present; to the main
question of an organization /; and if we
go. into a. discussion of the objects and
results of organization, it should be with:
out indulging any unkind expressions
towards. others who may differ from us in
our own party. We should ehdeavor to
act justly towards all, and aim at discoY.
ering the true sentiments Of the party
to which we profess to belong. We have
no right to endaayor.t to continue to muz;
zle, the Democratic party by. allowing ID
te;remains ina state of disorganization,
whereby tits al the mercy Of the enemy.
It makes no difference what may be the
interests ,,of the particular section in
which wa may live, our honor and our
patriotism allie call upon us to act il
accord with what may be deemed the
truei interests Of our! ,!State,r and to take
such steps as may be necessary to ascer-
tain from the proper authority what
course Is to be pursued. -; :. -,

A joint resolution, iustructing the
Comptroller General to investigate the,
compromise by which the South, Carolina
Railroad settled its srerars for taxes, and
to inquire into certain other ,nfattera con-
.nected with the road, was ad6p ed.. ~:
The bill to repeal the lien laM was de-
feated in the House on the 10Th instant.
The same body, has refused to pass. the

so that it ii clearly indicated that no
change will be made in it.'auring the.
present session, unless q charge in the,
present sentiment is, produced by some
means; The law should:eitter be let
alone Or repealed, for endless confusion.
and litigation Is produced by. constantly

A resolution to, subscribe 70 certain
daily papen for the. members. of tho
House of Representatives, tot'e paid for
out of the State Treasury, WAS defeated
by vote Of rs to ri. All the Conser4-

voted against it. Some two weeks as;o
,Whittemore introduced a resolution 10
the same effect in the Senate, worded .as
follows: ...,;.:,...i :. ..,i .. -. ;. :.

of the Senate is 3 little matter, but it
shows willingness to spend the peoples
money for their own private qualification,
which is unjustihable. There is no more
excuse for voting for such a resolution
than there would be for. supporting bill
to buy each member ofthe. Senate gold
watch, out of the State Treasury. The
House manifested better disposition in
declining to adopt a similar resolution.

the Republican party in this State. We
should ignore every other question ,eX.
cept the an-absorbing one Of routing the
plunderers from Office and placing honest
and capable men in their places. We
should insist upon the Democratic party
getting control Of the affairs Of tho State
as tho only guarantee of honesty and
economy in its administration. This, is
the plan upon which our sister Southern
States have succeeded, and whenever we
heartily pursue the same policy We will
also asuredly succeed. The Republic
cans have been In power NOW for eight
years and have done nothing towards re-
dseming their constant and blatant pro-
ffssionss of reform 1t is time to- try

I: Congressional Items.

In addition to the previous standing
committees of the; House Of Representa-
tiYes, there will BE- a. a.committee of eleven
to be known as the Mississippi Levee
Commission. The duties of this commits
sion have not yet been defined, though
it is supposed it will be. charged with
general supervision Of the great interests
of that section Of our country through
which the Mississippi flows. This sec.
ton of the Union is growing in national
importance, and its influence over the
affairs of our country is fast Interesting.

commission was created, will be chair

A memorial from the Legislature Of
South Carolina was presented to the
Senate, asking for repeal Of the law
granting United States licenses to retail
spirituous liquors outside Of cities and
towns. This petition is about Like many
other things done BY our LegislaSure. 1t
will do no good, and. if it should be
granted will accomplish nothing, Tor
when man procures 3 revenue license
to retail, he has also to comply With the
local law. Therefore, unless the object
of the Legislature was to reduce the price
of licenses in the country, the action in
this instance would, if carried out, work
an injury to the people Of our s5tate in
stead Of blessing.
"Retreuchment and Investigation is

management of all the public depart
ments over which the House of Repre-.
nentatives has control, and thorough in
vestigation of the conduct of various
public officers who have been suspected
Of, or charged with, corruption or fraud:
This is the key to success for the party,
and if rightly adhered to will bring vic
tory in the coming presidential canvass:
The memorial of Hon, w. q. Trescot,
praying that Judge Hoge be denied
seat from the Third District Of this Stats,
was presented by Hon. s. s. Cox, of New
York, who said the question involved
was not so much that of a representative
as of representation. The memorial wfs
ordered to be printed, and was referred
to the committee on elections. Indica;
tions are that the seat will be declared
vacant.
In the Senate the following nomina-
tions have been presented and confirmed: ::
Chandler, Secretary of the Interior;
Pierrepont, Attorney General; New,
Treasurer; JOAN G. Smith, Secretary Of
Indian Affairs.
There is to be grand congressional

.GENT.-I have received yours OF the
10th inst, inviting me to address mass
meeting at Anderson on the first Monday
of December ne4t 'fin the Interest o. the
revival of tne' Blue Ridge Railroad pro-
joct:U 60, .'a ''">. '~'t''N' -
I am glad you: arc again .agitating the
matter, which has had a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep for years. I. have never had the
slightest doubt that the "Rabun Gap is
the, most practicable gap through, the
mountains, which lie like . wall between
US and the great valley Of the Mississippi.
The work Of cutting through the moan
tains at that point is more than nay &C,
complished, and I have never doubte1
that it would be finally completed. To
stop now and give up the Stump House
tunnel to the, exclusive occupation OF
bats and owls for all time to come would
be discreditable to our character for con-
stancy, perseverance and judgment.
I have been an humble but earnest
advocate of the Blue Ridge 'Rosd ever
since the project was started, and l think
tits more necessary now than ever before:
It has been the dream of the State for ct
least half q century.
I am very sorry that it will not be In
