The South Carolina Railroad.
- The recent litigation in the Unite'
States Court in Baltimore, before Judge Bond
with regard to the South Carolina Railroad
has resulted in the decision of Judge Bond t
appoint Receiver for the road. The follow
ing are the points in Judge Bonds opinion:
"The defendant company is insolvent, ha
mortgaged all its property twice, labors unde
mortgage debt of $4,000 900, and has as
signed to syndicate of directors all its bill
receivable and available assets to secure tn
payment of loan of 100000. A receive
is necessary, as the road has floating debt 0
nearly $l,200,000, being rapidly reduced t
judgments. The complainants have righ
to the control of the litigation. 1t is too lat
for the trustees of the second mortgage, afte
their refusal to act upon the case OF bont
holder and their long delay after the knowl
edge of the bankruptcy Of the road is at leas
no recommendation for their admission to tn
conduct of this suit. The security of the sec
ond mortgage is not adequate, and the proper
ty is liable to seizure at any point. The IN
junction will be Issued, with the modification
that it apply only to the first and second bond
held as collaterals which have been received
as collateral directly from the company or it
officers"

GOV. HAMPTON vs.. GEN. GARY.
Our readers will remember the speecl
made by Gen Gary, at Greenville, fe'
weeks ago, in which he fippantly alluded t
the negro as voter, his remarks in this con
nection inducing reply from Col. Gray, Q
Greenville, and receiving the condemnatio
of thoughtful men throughout the State. Gov
Hampton dissents from Gen. Gary's views, a
is shown by the following extract from tn
Governors speech, in Greenville, on the 18t
instant. After referring at some length t
the last campaign, the promises then made
and the fruits of that victory, the Governo
said:
The Democratic Party of the United State
comtenances no prescription on account Q
birth, race or color, and you have solemnl
given your adhesion to the declaration Q
PRINCIPLES announced by our National Conver
tion. That convention declared it's acceptance
in perfect good faith, of the recent amend
ments to the Constitution of the United States
and your State Convention accepted, ratltle
and endorsed, in most emphatic terms, the ac
tion of the national party. We are thus dout
ly pledged to carry out in good faith the polio
to which the great Democratic party OF tn
country is unalterably and solemnly commit
ted. We pledged ourselves in '76 to stand Of
that platform, and in rs your State Conven
tion, realizing the good results that had beel
accomplished, reiterated it, and when 1t place
it's candidates in the field, told them to 60 fort

which had won success in the last canvass, in

that it is now.
And in this connection, must enter m.
most emphatic dissent to the views expressed
by Gen. Gary at the recent meeting here, ant
in his card in reply to Gen. Gray. Thes
views I believe to be inconsistent with th

that it was the conservative character OF tht

ocratic rule.
Gen. Gary speaks of the mode in which ht
desired to conduct the canvass, as ''the Mis-
sissippi plan" Now there are grave misap
prehensions in regard to the plan by whicl
the gallant Mississippians carried their State
and by SANDER propagated by some unprnci
paled partisan papers, this plan has most false
ly been called 'the shotgun policy NJ
greater injustice could have been done to ;
brave and patriotic people than the efforts thu
made to stigmatize their heroic efforts to save
their State. In one sense their canvass wa'
aggressive as ours was. They met the plum
derers of their State at every point to denounct
their corruption before the people. They de
