IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.

The Charleston papers have been urg-
ing the necessity of closer connection be-
tween Charleston and the interior of the
State in point of the time consumed in
travel, with a view Of increasing the busi-
ness of that city. The Ners and Courier
of last Saturday contains very excellent
article in advocacy of quick time, and if
the business men of Charleston would
rally to its assistance, we have no doubt
that sufficient influence could be brought
to bear upon the railroad authorities to
induce the desired short schedule. If
the trip from the up-country to Charles
ton only required from twelve to fifteen
hours, the advantages would soon be as
certained. Places are not measured so
much by distance now as by the time be-
tween them, and, in this respect, even
Richmond is as near to us as Charleston.
This distance in time has done much to
divert trade to other places, and almost
amounts to prohibition of subscription
to the Charleston daily papers, for Co
lumbia, Atlanta and Charlotte are from
twelve to twenty-four hours ahead, while
Richmond is as near, and New York is
only fifteen hours later in getting its
papers to us than Charleston. There is
no doubt that the business of our City
by the Sea would be greatly benefited
by securing circulation of their papers
throughout the whole State. If the city
of Charleston can induce the adoption of
a short schedule to Walhalla and inter
mediate places, and then get favorable
freight rates for all points, its business
with the interior could easily be doubled.
We speak what we know from daily OBJ
servation in this section, and do not fiat
ter when we say that our people have the
kindest feelings for Charleston, and de-
sire to trade with her merchants as far as
| possible. State pride and self-interest
prompt us to this course, but the busi-
ness of the up.country has in a large
measure been transferred to other points
on account of the injudicious railroad
policy, which, by slow connections and
high freights, has amounted to most
serious restriction of this trade, which
should be so valuable to Charleston and
SO advantageous to lis. We hope at no
distant day to see policy adopted by
the South Carolina Railroad which will
be broad and just to all sections and
shaped in the true interests of Charles
ton, so as to bring about as far as posi-
BILE the thing most greatly needed to
secure a return of the greatest possible
prosperity to our State, which is the
establishment of trade wherever it is
practicable between Carolinians, which
would keep our money at home in many
cases where it is almost gratuitously
transferred to Northern markets.

Mr.. Key, the Tennessee Democrat
who went into Mr.. Hayes Cabinet to
help build up the much talked of "third
party" has proven himself rather poor
disorganizer of the Democracy, and as
a result of this disclosure, he will be pro-
vided with another place, probably the
Supreme Court Judgeship, to make room
for more useful man in the Cabinet.
The President has the elephant in the
appointment of Key. BE cannot dismiss
him from Office, for that would be to ac-
knowledge the sham of his pretences in
the appointment, hence he has to look,
out another Office for him, and no doubt
thinks a judicial Office the best to sacri-
flee, as the judges are not, as a class, use
full politicians. Mr.. Key has to be gotten
out of the Cabinet at any cost, to make
room for ex-Postmaster General Tyner,
who is a very fine Republican reform
wire puller.

such large amounts. They believed the
figures had been altered.
Dir. jasper G. Roath, m expert OF
banking experience, testified that the
figures had certainly beet chahgsd, as
he proved, from S. and 95 to 6oo and
695.
Two additional warrants were then pro-
duced by the State, both in favor OF Car
penter, and for the same work, to wit:
for publishing the law relative to regula-
ting insurance and licenses, and these
had likewise been tampcred with and in
creased from the original amount of$540
and s72O to 81 $40 and S1,72O. The
amounts in all these papers are in figures
and nowhere in writing.
The defehce introduced no evidence,
but demanded trial, and the case was
ordered to the higher court which con-
venes here next Monday. 1t is not like
ly that it will be heard at that time, how
ever, as the defence will ask for delay.
Carpenter was admitted to bail in the
sum Of $4,000, his wife and L. B. john
ston, of Sumter, being his suretics.

acts of the national administration IN the
removal of United States troops and the
restoration of self-government in the
States of Florida, Louisiana and South
Carolina, and the order of prohibiting
Office holders from holding any connec-

that no assessment for political purposes
on Office holders should be allowed, re-

One of the best acts passed by the
Legislature land we find upon examlna-
ton that great many wise acts were
passcd) was that which provides for in
vestigating the bona fde indebtedness OF
the counties in the State. AS regards
Newberry, there are undoubtedly many
claims against the county that have been
audited and approved by Radical admin
istrations that are fraudulent either in
whole or in part. Bridges have been
built across creeks and branches and
work done on public buildings at enor-
nous figures, out of all proportion to the
value received by the county. The poor
house has been managed in a manner
that calls for the severest condemnation;
Careful calculations show that it would
have been saving to the county to board
the inmates of that institution at a first
class hotel. With such facts in view, 1t
is easy to understand how, with county
tax Of three mills year, the debt of the
county is over $4,000. A commission OF
three citizens will be appointed by the
Governor soon, as provided by the act,
to investigate the matter.-Ne'e0e'7y

The Democratic Majority in Congress.
WASHINGTON. June 26.

w ASd1NG1ON, Juue AU.
A COPY has been made of the pay GER
tificates for the Forty-fifth Congress, as
furnished by Clerk Adams to Sergeant
alarms Thompson, and constituting his
vouchers in account with the United
States Treasury, and given to some Re-
publican papers as the roll Of the next
House made out by Adams. The list
stands precisely as it did when an abb
stract of it was published the first week
in April, showing Democratic majority
of sixteen, with seven members to hear
from. No further changes have been
made, and none will be until the time
comes for making up the roll. What
that will be no one yet knows. In the
Colorado case the law is all against Del
ford, and Patterson's title to the seat
turns on the construction of an enabling
act. The Supreme Court of California
has given Pachero, Republican, the seat
in the Fourth District of that State, and
Wigginton has appealed. The contest
in the courts over the Third District in
Missouri is in much the same shape.
The record of Florida and the Fourth and
Sixth Districts of Louisiana are covered
by conflicting certificates from the rival
Governors. Adams will probably follow
the example set by Hayes in this matter
and recognize Nichols and the Demo-
cratic congressman.

The Mers and Courier intimates that
the late act of the Legislature authorizing
the Governor to satisfy judgments in
favor of the State was intended to enable
Governor Hampton to secure the presence
of Niles G. Parker in South Carolina to
testify against D.; II. Chamberlain, and
also intimates that movements on foot
to bring the Ex-Governor back to Colum-
bia for trial on important charges. We
presume the special investigating COM
mittee are looking into Mr.. Chamberlain's
history, and when they progress little
further perhaps the Governor may feel
constrained to insist by requisition,
upon the return of his predecessor. We
would be glad to see the departed Daniel
return under such circumstances.

Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, of
New York.. informs the Democracy of
the Union that Mr.. Tilden was opposed
to the Electoral Commission Bill, but the
general verdict Of the country is that Mr..
Tilden is rather late about making his
opposition known. Indeed, we believe
that ninety-nine out of every hundred
Democrats think now that they were op-
posed to the Electoral Bill, but such
posthumous opposition is not apt to ac-
complish much. If Mr.. Tilden had at
the time of the pendency of the bill
announced his opposition to the meas
ure, and assumed the high and cor
rect position that he was elected and
intended to have the office, Mr.. Hayes
would never have obtained the appella-
ton of the Fraudulent President, and
Mr.. Tilden would have been in the White

The United States still manifests dis
position to acquire territory, aud now has
its eye on Cuba and part of Mexico, in
both of which plans we sincerely hope
our government may make complete
failure. Neither Cuba nor Mexico is
worth the trouble which would be Incl
dent to its government, and we are firm
in the belief that no government ought
to acquire additional territory until it
governs what it already has in proper
manner. Let US give our attention to
protecting the States and Territories we
now hare, and after that has been ac-
complished it will be soon enough to
speak of annexation.

of advantage to all planters by securing
to some extent an increased productive
ness of the soil planted. Another of the
physical benefits would be the increased
healthfulness of our climate. Persons
who imagine that malarial fevers arise
entirely from unditched creeks and ponds
make very great mistake, for it is
matter of experience. that these fevers
have been gradually extending as the
country has been cleared. If they were
not caused BY the clearing of timber,
why is it that the mountain creeks,
which frequently accumulate large guam
titles of debris, do not cause fevers?
The correctness of this position is attcs-
ted by science, which teaches us the con-
nection of the animal and vegetable
kingdoms. Men in respiring give off
carbon, which, if taken into the lungs
again in quantity, is destructive of life.
Trees and vegetable growth absorb this
noxious gas, and give off in large guam
titles oxygen, which is most necessary
for man. Of course, we do not mean to
say that malarial fevers cannot exist
where there is growth of forest, but we
do believe that they would be very rare,
and only to be found where evident
causes overbalance the proper equilibri-
um. We believe it would pay to change
our fence system in order to take care of
our timber, for the purpose Of protecting
the health of cur County, if for no other
reason.
Secondly, we favor the change because
we believe the necessities of the country
demand it. Another century, yes, an
other fifty years, of such destruction OF
timber as has been practiced in the same
period of the past to keep up our pres
ent system Of fencing, will place this
State in a very deplorable condition
There will be very great scarcity of tim
ber, and it ill be almost impossible
then either to keep up pasture fence or
to obtain frewood. If we are wise these
things must be considered. We have NO
coal fields convenient to our section oi
country, aud if our timber should give
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1877-05-19
