WHENsD Democratic Senators vote to sustain
Mr.. Conkling's views there is "a corrupt
coalition" say the independent papers. But

We Need q Change.

Charleston, we think, should use all
her influence with the Railroad officials
to effect O change In the schedules Of the
trains on the Railroads from Greenville to
Charleston. The trip should be made in
one day. AS it is now, it requirestwenty-
four hours of actual travel to make a trip
of about two hundred and seventy miles,
which is at least eight or nine hours too
much. The Journal Of Commerce and
the News and Courier reach here at half
past four o'clock in the afternoon Of the
next day after publication. This puts
the Charleston papers at almost as great
a distance, as far as time is concerned, as
the New York papers. BY the present
arrangement Charleston need not be sur
prised if she loses much of her trade.
The business community look to the
for their market and other
reports, and in these days of railroads
and telegraphs a newspaper two days old
is behind the times. We believe the
Charleston dailies are the finest in the
Southern country, and their numerous
readers in this section of the State think
it little short Of an outrage to have them
detained sixteen hours IN Columbia. The
train, it seems t us, should leave Char
lesion carly in the morning and run
through to Grcenrille the same night.
There is no necessity for travellers wait
ing for the citizens of Charleston to get
their breakfast and then there is no use
of the traveller being compelled to lie
over at a way station, (Columbia) all
night. BY making this important change
wo would be brought within half the dis
lance of Charleston, and the Charleston
papers would have three times as great a
circulation as they now have in the up
country. We think if the publishers
would display half the energy in having
their papers delivered to their subscribers
that they manifest in procuring news by
the mails ana the telegraph that the change
would be made. Make this change and
Abbeville County alone will subscribe
for fifty additional copies of the Ne'cS and
Courier and the Journal of Commerce.
While the Charleston and Augusta pa
pers are the very best in the Southern
States, our people do not take as many
copies of either paper as they would if
they could get them on the evening OF
the same day that they are published
This matter deserves your attention, gen.
tlemen. If excursion trains cal run
through, in a single day, why may not
other trains do the same thing?

The Supreme Court.

BY reference to an article elsewhere
published in this paper it will be seen
that the Supreme Court has relieved
Charleston and Orangeburg of Butte, the
Radical Solicitor; has remanded Pc
tor Smith to be held under sentence of
the Court Of General Sessions; and has
ordered the State Canvassing Board
Dunn, Cardoza, Hayne, Purvis and Stone
to show cause why judgment should not
be entered against them in.the proceedings
against them last November.
Solicitor Butte has been a source Of
trouble and annoyance to the good peo-
pie of the First Circuit for a long time
and we congratulate them on their deliv-
erance from so great o curse. Orange
burg and Charleston must elect a Demo-
crat next time.
1t is understood that Mr.. w. st. julien
Jervey will be appointed Circuit Solicit
tor to fill the vacancy. A wiser selection
could not be made.
The case of Peter Smith, or Jew Peter, az
0e was Sd1lou lIS1OJ WAY az OAc tAuAo 10"
garded 81 an important n indeed. He
was fourd guilty of robbing Douglass
& Miller's cash drawer Of $3.50; sentenced
to the ~penitentiary for fifteen years
Chamberlain, after his; defeat, and when
claiming to act as Governor, issued q
pardon for Peter; Col. Parmelo, super
intendept of the penitentiary, refused to
recognize ChambeSain's authority to par
don; Jew Peter, under writ OF hdbeas
corpus, was brought before the Court,
when he was ordered 10 be put in Jail
where he has remained until now. The
Supreme Court delayed action in the case,
as it involved the question as to who was
Governor-a decisision either way in Pc
tors case would have settled the guber-
material problem as far as the Supreme
Court was concerned.
The suit against the Board of State
Canvassers will likely bring to the State
Treasury the snug little sum Of 81. 500.
With these important questions solv-
ed, will anybody say that the Of
1ce Chief or Associate Justice IL not m

duty it imposes on him to entertain oil
who come so long as his house is not full.
This being Il common right OF all citizens
the Civil Rights law entorccs it under Sc
we're penalties even in behalf of the
negroes. Can Jews be denied rights
which the law guarantees to Africans?
III the head Of the great houseof Roths-
child should happen to visit this country
during the present season he would be
excluded from the principal hotel OF one
of our most important watering places
because the proprietor does not approve
of his religion. Even the Prime Minis
ter of England might be looked upon
with suspicion by the hotel clerks, for ne
was born and bred a Jew, and might not
happen to have in his pocket a certificate
of Christian baptism-a document as inn
portant in that evangelical institution,
the Grand Union Hotel, as Bank OF Eng
land notes to pay his bill. We have no
doubt Judge Hilton will regret his mis-
take when he sees in what lightit is view
cd by the public.
