RIFLE SHoorTNG.-Speakingo rife shoot
ing, a correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
calls attention TO the fact that the Scotch,
if anybody, are entitled to the championship
Of the world in sharpshooting. The Irish
team won the Elcho Shield in 1873 for
the first and only time, the Scotch or English
winning it on all other occasions since the
Wimbledon contests were established, some
fifteen years ago. The same year that it
was taken by the Irish, the Scotch team
carried away the Irish trophy, and last year.
at Wimbledon, they won the D." Elcho Shield"
the "Snidr trophy English, and the
Irish trophy, besides taking majority of
the individual prizes. At the last Edinburgh
rifle match, they won the /" International
trophy" and a young Highlander, named
Angus Cameron, has twice won the Queens
Prize at Wimbledon, and the a." Caledonian
Challenge Shield at Edinburgh. And yet
the Scotch don't Drag much about shooting

RAILROAD INVESTIGATIONS 49, The inyes-
tigation in regard to the railroad disater on
Long Island. on July 9TH, has resulted in two
verdicts. Both unite in this-that the COM
pany is to blame in having incompetent Off
cials at its head in not employing the proper
number of brakemen, in not using improved
brakes, and in allowing its conductors to run
trains without proper regard to the time
table. One verdict censures both conduc-
tors the other throws the burden ON the
dead officer. The charges against the com
pany are serious. 1t now remains 10 be seen
whether the public will be benefited 10y the
holding of any one to a strict accountability.

A Contrast.

New York city has been, through q long
series Of years, one # the greatest strong.
holds Of democracy. From time to time her
overbur,lened taxpayers have struggled 10
free themselves from the clutches Of a party
that is gradually drawing them toward
bankruptcy. But The horles Of ignorance
and vice have defeated them, and to-day, in
tclligence and responsibility are powerlcss
to arrest the downward tendency of the city
under democratic control The New York
HeraH gives the debt Of the city, June 80.
1875, as 81 Il, 100000, and says that to this
amount may he fairly added about $4,000.
O0O Of claims pending, thus making the
actual debt Of the city about slG2 100000.
The HoaN in speaking Of city expenses,
puts the appropriation for the ensuing year
at S}S,0o0O0O. If any Of our readers be-
licvc that this system Of democratic finan.
ciering would be u blessing II applied to the
nation, we beg them TO figure out the value
OF this blessing for four years democratic
control. BY its financial management, dem
ocracy has increased the debt Of New York
city about sl0s,0000O0 in seven years.
During the same period, under republican
management, the debt Of the nation has
been reduced about sjO000O,0O0. The tax
levy in New York city shows an increase
Of Sl7,0O0,00O over 1865, while the tax-levy
Of the nation shows a decrease Of at least
5000. 900

TuE ORIGINAL CREDIT MoBrLiER-Th
famous Credit Moblier Francois, the model
Of all such institutions the world over, has
goneup. after a checkered career 1t started
in 1852, with a capital Of sl2,0O0,OO0. II
had authority to hold public securities and
shares of all industrial corporations, and to
issue It's own bonds to ten times the amount
Of It's own capital. Under its operations the
gas and omnibus companies of Paris We're
consolidated, and it became largely interested
in the railroads in Austria, Spain, Russia
France and other countries. In fifteen years
II divided s30,001,000 Of profits, and issued
bonds to the amount of sl20,00O,000. It
then got into the way of wildcat specula-
tions, and became so crippled that it is be-
ing wound up. It's shares are worth only
forty cents on the dollar. OF course it was
merely a gambling concern from the start,
but loaded dice were not used at first in its
palny days Unlike the imitation Credit
Mobliers of this country, it was not started
for the express purpose OF cheating.

Coon FGrIrs-Thc South Carolina sol
dier who came thousand miles TO join in
the Bunker I'LL COMMUNICATION. were re-
ceivod with open arms on returning home,
aud had a very pleasant reunion among their
friends. Col. Simons on this occasion made
acknowledgment Of the handsome reception
given the Palmetto boys under the shadow of
Bunker llill, and along the line Of march.
We quote some OF his wrll-chosen words:
Throughout the whole Inc, crowded with spec
tators and participants, wherever the ball button
aud the Leopard skin were seen, there was q joy
Gus acclaim that made the wclkin ring. Il was
not merely that 1t was the Washington Light In
iantry, or that they bore the revolutionary stand
ard Of Coupons and Eutaw but that they were the
representatives Of South Carolina, and Of a por-
ton % the confederate army, who felt il no dis
honor, the war over to meet their fellow-ctizcns
Of the North, aud with them, at the very foot Of
Bunker Hill TO put away the gospel Of hate, and
renew the fraternity by which their fathers in
common had achieved soi-goyomment aud indie
pendence. There are Doubtless some still in both
sections who yet regard a San Marine republic rs
the best form Of government, and the Chinese
wall AZ the highest type Of civilization. These
prefer to cling to the lower round Of the ladder
aud to recognize but little Of virtue right or pat
rotism beyond the horizon Of their vision with
these we have no contest. They are entitled to
their opinions. The necessities Of tie times, and
the demands Of a sound patriotism, require that
We should ascend 20 broader and more compre-
hcnsye views Of duty and right, and embrace
within our vision the whole country, and with the
citizens Of every section unite in the perpctuty Of
the republic upon constitutional basis. II We
are to live together as one people it can only be
done by q union IN hearts as well as in name

The Question OF 0rganixatsnzz.

The Wiunsboro Nevs clearly and
We thiuk rightly expresses itself on
the question of an organization of the
conservative party. It:says:
|. It is highly proper at ,prssent to
ag;tate .the: nestioin: 1t: or;ga'iz9,ii ;;
but our policy after Organization must
be determined by events not yet exist.
ing. IT. question seems to BE-: l>t
Shall there be an O. ..aeization of the
conservatives next year? ID. In event
of organization, what shall be the
policy pursued! .~
In answer to the FIRST question NC.
answer unhesitatiasly, yes. stasy Of
the evils that have befalien. the State
are attributed to the want Of organi-
cation on the part:.ef the conservative
taxpayers: The conservatives ofSouii'
Carolina can work out their own re-
demptien without fear Of federal .in-
reference. We, believe that the.laSt
attempt to food a. State With federal
soldiers has been made" Whatever of
good or evil is in store for our state
must be evolved by, herself In :tlIis
phase of politics, the policyof the
conservatives is organization. They
mast be able to WELD their 50 ,O00
votes in solid phalanx for reform, and
this can be effected only by concerted;
action
But, while we call for organization,
We do not see why that organization
should BE- Buurbon-denocratic. or
should nominate a Bourbon-denlucratic
ticket. While there arc fine prospects
Of a victory for reform, there are none
for democratic victory in South Caro-
lima. Success cannot be achieved
without the co operation: Of l3.0W
colored roters and while we believe.
that number can -casily lie obtained for
compromise, they will ,uot> vote for i
straightout democratic ticket. That is
all.
We believe the policy to be, first, a
thorough conservative organization,
and then compromise with the re,
formers Of the other party. This
policy will win. Any other, in our
opinion, will fail diSastrously.

The Associate Reformed Synod.


The Sessions of this body were held
in hue West commencing on Thurs
day the 23rd. We gather from the
Abbeville .Nedium. that the opening
sermon Of the occasion was preached
by the Rev. r. W. Bricc, of Chester,
the retiring moderator. The sermon
was one of the preachers very bust
solid, substantial and eloquent. Rev.
James \. Lowry, of Alabama. Was
elected moderator. The stated clerk.
Rev James, Boyec, ID, Was at his
post, and the Rev:~W. NJ. Gricr, DID.
of Due Vest WAS. ekcted assistant
cl,.rk. The usual committees were ap-
pointed, great care being taken to
secure the representation of the best
talent ofthe Synod vh these men Of all
work. There were about one hundred
clerical and lay delegates, andthe vii
lase was crowded with visitors from
every section of the Southern States.
Perhaps the most important action
taken by the Synod was that upon the
communion question. A resolution
providing for restricted or regulated
communion was almost unanimously
adopted. 1t is thought that this action
will d. much towards increasing the
prosperity Of that branch of .Chri>t's $

\ private letter to Maj. c. II. Su-
Der, asking advice and assistance for
the procuring Of fuadssto complete the
noble and patriotic enterprise 50 long
ago begun, viz: the erection Of a State
Monument, has been shown US. The
monument now lies in the Depot at
Columbia, and cannot be removed un-
til the necessary ansepBt is raised to pay
f:l it, and the committee makes an
earnest appeal to the different Coun-
tics to contribute to this end. Many
Of the Couaties have. already largely
Arcsponded-while this County has
done butlistlcif anything. Two hun;
dred dollars from each County will b.
sufficient. and it is urged that New
berry come to the rescue. Surely an
amounts so Small ,a;ght be esgRy rais-
ed, proper effort only 5eiussnecessa-
ry to accomplish it. 1t has-been-sug<
gested that as a.fpnd of, oyer S40e
raised for the erection Of a:eounty
monument now lies in the bank with
cut any possible chance Of being used
for the object contemplated. thatsit be
turned over to the State Association,
or such portion as may be necessary.
We thiuk the suggestion good one,
and srge its consideration. We hape
that the gentlemen who were appoint
ed to act in this matter will consult
together aud take steps for the raising
Of the necessary amount, and We ad-
wise them to call on Maj. Suber: and
sec the letter above alluded to.
It is suggested also that the ladies
forul ga auxiliary society to further
this worthy object: and relieve the
committee Of the burden under which
:t rests.
