The Blue Ridge Railroad.

The interest awakened in this great
enterprise is increasing overy day.
An earnest effort, by discroot and &C
tive men, is now being made to reog
anizo tho company. The Keowee Cou.
rier, in speaking of this important
enterprise says:
"Oconee and Pickens Counties, as
we'll as the intermediate country to
tho soaboard, arc also greatly intoro
ostod in tho completion of the Blue
Ridge Road.
"Wo join hands with the Anderson
Intcligcncer in saying that "Walhal-
la, Anderson, Abbevillo and Nowborry
should unite their strength in this
movement and lend encouragement
to whatever schemes may be devised
to secure an early resumption of the
work." and would respectfully suggest
that Piczcns, PcndIeton, Greenviile,
Columbia, Orangeburg, Edgcfold,
Barnwoll and othor SECTIONS Of tho
State, be represented by delegates in
tho Convention TO be hold in Charles
ton on tho 25th day of May, instant" "
We should certainly like to see
Pickens represented in the Conven-
tion, for we do not consider that tho
towns located directly on tho Road,
or the Counties through which it will
run arc alone to reap all the benefits
from the completion of this great en-
tcrprise, but every section of tho State
will bo benefited thereby. We hnri
ly think Pickcns will bo represented,
but nevertheless VIC wish the gcntlc>
men engaged, abundant SUCCESS in
their undertaking.

The State Convention.

Wo publish on tho outside of this
issue the proceedings of tho late Dem
ocratic Convention. 1t is conceded
on oil sidos that tho convention was
tho most dignificd and ablo body
assembled in South Carolina
since the war. The action of the con,
vontion, in oonfning it's work 10 the
selection of delegates to tho st. Louis
CoLvontion and tho election of now

was eminentIy wisc and proper. The
question of q State policy was proper
ly deferred until tho meeting of the

convention meets, whatever policy it
adopts, wo feel assured will be for the
best interest Of the State and party
There is nothing lost in waiting while

nial Commission by the Centennial
Commissioners, John Welsh; Cantata
by Sidney Lanior of Georgia, and pre-,
sentation of tho Exhibition to tho
President of the United States by Jos
r. Hawlcy. Tho international Exhi>
bition was thcn opened by proclama-
tion by tho President of tho United
States.
AT 1890, a. M, Dom Pedro was cs-
corted to n seat by Gonoral Hawloy.
At lo:45 General Phillip Sheridan and
wifo passed over from the building to
stand in front of the Memorial Hall
during tho rendition of national airs.
He was greeted with great applause.
Ho was closely followed by Hon. J.
G. Blaine, Senator Jones, of Nevada,
and wife. At 1855 tho President en-
tered through Memorial Hall, and was
conducted to a seat on front of the
platform. Governor Hartranft, Gon.
Hawloy and Hon. d. G. Morrill, ocou-
pied seats on his left, while Mossrs
John Wolsh and Goshcrn wcro on his

were no formalities attending the Wis,
it. Dom pcdro also visited tho Pavi!>
ion, and gavo emphatic approval of
the work there displayed by Amori-
can women.
Tho reception by the President was
omitted. He was fatigucd. The fol-
lowing was ono of tho most impros-
sivc scenes Of the day: The President
assisted by his Imperial Majesty Dom
Pedro, started the motive power of the
hall. Az II signal from General Iaw-
Icy the President and Emperor seized
a crank, and opening tho valves,
turned them several times. At once
q sound was heard, which gave to the
people the understanding that the en-
gino was about TO move; thon the
monstl Gus scvcnty ton fly wheel be-
gan slowly moving, increasing gradu~
ally in rapidity until it was travelling
at it's fall speed. General Hawley
started tho hurrah, which was taken
up by tho surrounding multitude
Dcnfcning echoes travelled through
the building, and as all the wheels in
the hall began moving the ringing Of
bells and other demonstrations told
to the world that tho Centennial Ex-
hibition was fairly oponcd.

"A STRANGE GALL. &"

DR.. John Vincent, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, "deprecates the alb
normal tendency of these times that
would enlarge woman's sphere" and,
while he cannot deny that women have
accomplished, in many instances, much
for humanity outside of the allotted
sphere of wifehood and motherhood,
he yet is compelled to question-gravely
question what he denominates "this
strange call of God" that has led them
thus to benefit their race and genera
ton. How the Almighty is going to
know when and whom to call, after the
fast dwindling race of fossil bishops
and pompous Doctors of Divinity be-
comes extinct, is a matter of some con-
Germ to those who are so valiantly Ia
boring to help Him keep woman from
overthrowing the laws which He has
established. We beg to console all such
with the assurance that, in the long
run, the instruments will be found in
the hands of those who can best use
them, be they men or women. Also,
that the clergy answer to "a strange
CALL" and not to the "call of God''
when they attempt to improve upon
laws of His framing.

EMANCIPATION OF CHILDREN.

All persons who believe that free and
happy childhood is the rightful heritage
of children, must rejoice that boys and
girls under ten years of age will not in
the future be allowed to work in the
factories of Massachusetts. The very
idea that children of such tender years
have been compelled or allowed to work
day after day, through the heat of sum-
mer and the frosts of winter, pent up in
the huge buildings which a streak of
sunshine scarcely ever enters, amid the
din and roar Of machinery, is a disgrace
to any commonwealth. Ten years of
age is, in all conscience, young enough
to put children into the harness to earn
their daily bread. The English laws
for the regulation of the labor of
children are far more considerate than
those of our own country. 1t would be
strange indeed if, in this age of progress,
some means would not be taken to pro-
tect children from labor that stunts
their bodies and minds, enfeebles their
constitutions, and sends many of them
to an early grave. The work of infants
is surely not necessary to any properly
regulated industrial or social system.

ELECTION NEWS.

Election returns have come in slowly,
but are sufficient to indicate the result
in number of localities. Multnomah
county has gone Republican, with the
exception of sheriff and one or two rep
resentatives. James A. Smith, Repub-
lican candidate for clerk, received the
largest vote of any candidate in the
field. In Clackamas county the Re-
publicans elect two Representatives, sher-
iff, and clerk. In Linn the entire Dem
ocratic ticket is elected by something
near 200 majority. Marion gives, as
usual, q handsome Republican major
ity. Wasco goes Democratic, with the
exception of clerk. The Republicans
carry Washington county, with the ex-
ceptiOn of State senator. In Yamhill
the Republicans elect three representa-
tives, sheriff, and clerk-senator doubt
ful. In Benton the Republican repre-
sentatives are elected by a small major
ity. In Douglas the entire Republican
ticket is elected. Returns from Polk in
and one Independent representative and
one Independent senator. Umatilla
goes Democratic.
1t is as yet impossible to determine
the political status of the next LegislA-
ture. The Democrats claim a majority
on joint ballot, though the claim is not
yet clearly substantiated by the returns.
1t is said that there has never before
occurred an election in this State
wherein tickets were so industriously
scratched" In some localities scarcely
a straight ticket was voted. While
many are disappointed and crestfallen
at the result, we are happy in the
knowledge that many stancb believers
in Woman Suffrage will occupy seats
in the next Oregon Legislature, enough,
in all probability, to give the women a
chance TO vote for the next Representa-
tive to Congress and President of the
United States. $50 mote it be-"
