DISCRIMINATION IN FREIGHTs.

The merchants and business inen of
Anderson find the discrimination in
fteights between the towns Of GreeEville
and Anderson exceedingly oppressive,
because its operation has had the effect
of driving trade from large area of ter
ritory, which formerly found market
here, to the mountain city. The hostile
management Of the South Carolina Rail-
road has done more to injure the mate
rial prosperity of Charleston, and the
up-country also, than can we'll be esti-
mated, for by charging such enormous
rates of freight to all points not touched
by the Air Line Railroad, they have to @
large extent driven trade to the towns
along the line of that road, where freights
are much cheaper and goods can be sold
proportionately lower. These towns do
not trade with Charleston, but buy of
Atlanta and the Northern cities, and by
bringing their freights directly over the
Air Line obtain them so much sooner
than they can do by way of Charleston,
that it makes it business impossibility
for them to trade in The latter city.
The plain result is that the policy of
the South Carolina Road Injuries Charles
ton by diverting the trade of the up
country to centers which purchase in
other markets; it Injuries itself by this
diversion, for by increasing the freights
to these points on the Air Line, it looses
the carrying of them; and it Injuries the
interior towns of the up-country by driv.
ing off their trade to other markets,
which are situated upon a road more
favorably inclined towards their CONNER
cial prosperity. We will try to give the
rates of discrimination in our next issue,
and hope the press and the public senti-
ment of South Carolina will be brought
to bear to relieve us of this oppression,
which subserves the good of no one ex-
cept business men along the line of the
Air Line Railroad.

Large Calico Sales.
New YORK, August 2.

NEW YORK, August z.
The announcement that Townsend,
Montana & Co., auctioneers, would sell
1,775 eases Richmond prints calico at
a trade sale at their salerooms " and 81
Leonard street, to-day, by order of the
agents of the manufacturers, attracted a
large number of dry goods merchants
from all the principal cities of the Union
to the sales. The auctioneer stated that
instead of 1,775 cases, as advertised, he
would sell about 1850 cases of goods.
The sale was then begun and the bidding
was lively and spirited. About 1900
cases of gray and fancy prints, known to
the trade as "frsts," averaging about
1000 yards to case, were disposed of at
6 to 81 cents per yard-average price 81
cents. One hundred and sixty-eight
cases of Seconds" about 1900 yards
each, were then sold at So and 81 cents.
The demand was so great that 2, 900 mofe
cases could have been easily sold. The
amount realized by the sale was over
$45O,OOO. The price at private sale for
these goods will average about half a
cent less per yard than those of last year.

A Gaining Scrape.
NEW YORK. August 2,

NEW YORK, August z.
Jay Gould was this morning accosted
by Major A. Selover, q friend of Jim
Keene, while passing through Exchange
place. Words were exchanged, when
Major Selover struck Gould one or two
blows on the side of the head, and then,
picking him up, threw him down the
area way, distance of eight feet. Mr..
Gould " as rescued by some friends, and
was found to be unipjured, with the ex-
ception of few slight bruises. He was
able to walk to his Office. The trouble
is said to have originated from Gould
having betrayed combination to put up
the prices of Lake Shore stock, in which
Keene and Selover were interested with
Gould. There was considerable excite
ment on the Stock Exchange for few
minutes, as it was rumored that Gould
had been seriously injured.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Gleaves is an

Gov. Hampton was deceived in him
enough to appoint him Trial Justice for
Beaufort County, only a short time before
that committee caused him to leave his
country for his country's good. The
Governor would do well in future to ap-
point none but Democrats to Office, and
thereby save himself the modification Of

This was Of course proper, for it. is the
duty of the general government to pro-
tect the property, and maintain the pub
lie peace in such emergencies, when
properly requested to do SO, and the
transportation of soldiers is the duty of
the government, and not Of the disturbed

on the property threatened, but is a
matter of duty with the government.

The great railroad strike is virtually at
an end, and the misguided laborers of
the disturbed section have returned. to
work at reduced wages where they can
get employment. Numbers of the lead
ers of the numerous riots have been ar
rested for trial, and great many others
have been dismissed from the service of
the railroads where they held positions.
The general feeling is that there will be
no further trouble in railroad circles of
consequence for years to come. The
failure of this gigantic effort to accomp-
lish anything for the laborers has been a
severe lesson, which will not be soon for
gotten.

very wisely renominated Governor Stone

succeed in electing an independent cam

independent candidates for that dodge to
