der to render its passage more certain, the
Senate Commerce Committee will immedi-

The Revenue Bill Will Pass.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is now conceded by nearly all parties
that the revenue bill will pass the House
substantially as it came from the Ways and
Means Committee.
All at Sea.
Upon the question of an extra session,
the Republicans are all at sea. With them
the prime question is whether it would
bring the party any advantage or not. The
President is ayerse to tine idea, probably
because it might interfere with his summer
amusements and develop unpleasant Teve-
lations in the departments.
The Civil Rights Bill TO be Pressed.
Senator Edmunds is also determined to
press the Civil Rights bill, and will ask for
an immediate vote upon it. As the Dem
Ocrats in the Senate have determined TO
defeat the bill, there is a prospect Of an
other deadlock ahead, and the further
prospect of an extra session.

THE DEATH-BLOW TO COMPETE-
TEOE.

A Washington telegram to one Of
the San Francisco papers says that
forty-seven Republican Senators have
agreed 20 oppose all subsidy bills, and
that the Central and Southern Pacific
men are confident that this defeats the
Texas Pacific. The names Of Anthony,
Bayard, Boutwell,, Edmunds, the two
Ferrys, Flanagan, Frelinghuysen, Ha-
ger. Hamilton, Hamlin, the two Nor
rius, Sargent, Schurz, Sherman, Thur
man, Wadleigh, WashbUrnand Wright,
are given as recorded on Senator Stew
arts roll of Senators who are opposed
to the bill.
The recent sale of the Pacific Mail
property to men who are believed to
represent the Central Pacific creates
widespread comment by the California
press IN the conviction that 1t looks to
cutting off competition by sea as well
as by land. The San Francisco CbrOn.
icIe, which supports the Central Pacific
interest, distinctly says that the pur-
chase has probably been made by the
railroad companies with view to buy
ing up and controlling the Pacific Mail
Company, and concentrate the business
OF the railroads and steamers IN the
hands of one company. The Chronicle
predicts that this result viii soon be
effected, and that the struggle between
the railroad and steamship companies
will result in the destruction Of all
competition and the defeat Of the Texas
Pacific also.
The Sacramento Union, commenting
upon the above, says that the Repre-
sentatives Of the Pacific coast aiding
this monopoly programme viii dig their
own political graves, and that the peo-
pie will bury them SO deep as to defy
the earthquakes to bring them to the
surface again.

rAxIEG AT THE WRONG END


If anything would reconcile US to
the impending rule Of the Democracy
in at least one branch Of Congress, 1t
would be the utter incompetency and
reereancy of the Republicans to the
true interests Of the people. One day
they pass through all the forms Of
law, with less than two hours con-
siderahOn, an eighs million Mississippi
jetty job, and the next they impose
upon the people a tax Of from fifteen
to twenty millions upon the necessa-
ries Of life, while refusing to tax luxu-
Ties or incomes. II these are the
things we get from a two-thirds Re.
publican majority, the rule of some
other kind Of a majority can not come
4 day too soon.

BELLE MEADE, Feb. %, 1S75.-J. B. Kill
lebrew-Dear Sir: l have examined very
carefully the bill of Senator Marchbanks
creating a "BuTeau OF Agriculture, Stats
tics and Mines" and am well satisfied with
it. Every feature Of the bill meets with
my hearty approval. Its provisions are
singularly clear and correct, and will meet
the necessity of our State and the times.
Be pleased to compliment him for me,
though we are strangers to each other, for
his comprehensive grasp of the important
subjects treated of, and say to him that, if
he can succeed in securing the passage of
so wise a measure, and If the work is Wig
orously and judiciOUsly prosecuted, as L
doubt not il will be, the people Of the en-
tire State will one day regard him as a
public benefactOT, who InaUgurated such a
scheme, fTaught with the prospect of relief
to her tax-ridden people. Very truly,
yours, w. II. JACKSON.

THE PHILADELPHIA CENTENNIAL
Let the State be Represented.

To the Citizens of the different Counties
In the State:
At the annual meeting of the Able
Vile Agricultural Society, lately held In
Abbeville, the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
represented in the Centennial Exhibi-
tion at Philadelphia, by the products Of
her fields, fruits, factories and mines,
and that each County in the State be
requested to send delegation to Colum-
bia during of the next State Fair, to
wait upon the Governor and request the
appointment Of suitable and proper
Commissioner to represent this State
at the Centennial Exhibition with q
view to making known to the country
the agricultural products of the State,
the character of Its various soils, the
trees of its forests, and its mineral and
other resources. -, u.
In persuance of the above resolution
we hereby invite the citizens Of each
County, Tor the Agricultural Societies
where Organized,) to meet on Sale Day
next, or on some early day thereafter,
for the purpose of appointing delega-
tions to assemble in Columbia during
the holding of the State Fair to carry
out the above resolution.
The Importance Of this step must be
apparent to all. In all probability eve-
nv other State in these United States
will be represented. Indeed, many of
them are erecting buildings for them
selves with the object of afording in
creased room and facilities for exhibit
ing their various products, soils, timbers
and resources.
South Carolina cannot do this, but
she can do much; and, If the people OF
the State desire to offer inducements to
worthy aud desirable immigrants to
make their homes and assist in develop
ing resources which they possess and
which are now not developed only for
the want of skilled labor and capital, no
means should be neglected which would
enable us to be properly represented at
the Centennial Exhibition at Philadel-
phia. ....s ,.,a
Will not every County send up a dele
cation to Columbia?
