.AT THE meeting Of the city council Oh
Tuesday evening, Aldermen Wood, Hal
liday and Patier were appointed CON-
mittee 70 confer with the Illinois Central
railroad company with reference TO the
decree recently rendered by Judge Ba'
ker in the case of the people, etc., against
the Illinois Central railroad COM
pany. The result OF this decree,
should it be enforced, will be alike
disastrous to the interests OF the city
and the railroad company. That por-
ton of the leyee covered by the decree is
lined with mills, warehouses, ETC., and
the very nature of their business demands
that they have the most ample railroad
! ,oo;I;,;aa. The Illinois Central railroad
has provided them with all the privi-
leges they have asked for; but to enforce
this decree will be to deprive
the numerous mills and warehouses
in question OF all the ad-
vantages they now enjoy, and virtually
drive them out of business. On the
other hand, the railroad company, under
the impression that they would not be
disturbed, have expended hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in putting in thell
incline, reveting the levee embankment
and in maintaining their tracks. and il
seems to us that it would be a hardship.
to say nothing of the justice of the act,
not to meet them half way in any reas-
enable compromise they may suggest.
We believe it is to the interests of the
city to do SO. We do not know what
proposition the company will make, and
do not wish to be understood as adyo-
eating the cause of the company i'll this
matter, but we believe the interests OF
the city, as well as the interests OF the
company, are at stake, and 1t become'
the duty OF the city to meet the compan!
fairly and see what can be done abou
the matter.

rison's candidacy seems TO have inter-
fered with their plans. and
what the outcome will be cannot be even
guessed at. Ii is possible that in the
caucus, should Cox and Saylor see that
they cannot be elected, they will throw
their strength for Morrison, and in that
event he will undoubtedly lay Randall
out. But this Is only speculation. NO
one knows what either Cox, Saylor' or
any OF the candidates will do, and 'he
question OF the speakershlp will not DC
settled until the last ballot of the caucus
has been taken. Yet there seems TO be

dates and better than most Of them'

THERE is fair prospect that the old
District OF Columbia ring will have tat
picking for time to come. A number
Of new pavements are to be constructed,
aud the sum of $25O,0OO has been appro-
priated for paying for the work. Speci-
fications were issued few days ago for
bids to do the work. The specltica tons
bear the stamp of the ring on their tace.
All bids for the work must be submitted
within seven days, and the work must be
commenced within five days thereafter.
This short notice cuts of bids from parties
outside the city. Further, the commits
sioners will receive bids from only those
who have machinery for making con-
crete, and az. there is but one firm OF con-
tractors in Washington who have the
required machinery, the style of the
bidding virtually gives them monopoly
OF the work. The district ring is no
dead vet.

A STATEMENT is now going the rounds
OF the Radical press that Gov. Hampton
in his message to the legislature recon-
mended the wholesale reputation Of
South Carolina bonds. This statement
is false and malicious. Gov. Hampton
recommends that the debt OF the state be
carefully scrutinized, that the bonds Of
doubtful validity, and such as bear EVIL
dence OF fraud upon their iace, must be
discovered, and such only will not be
paid. Gov. Hampton recommends that
every dollar of the lawful Indebtedness
Of the state be paid, and that measures
be taken to place the state in position
to be able to meet the accruing interest
on her indebtedness. Gov. Hampton
does not recommend reputation, but h
is determined that South Carolina shall
not be mulcted into paying hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars vi bonds Illegally
and fraudulently issued under carpet
bag rule.

he will not venture near either the Rus-
