"THE ATLANTA MEDICAL INSTITUTE. /"
We understand that there ia great dis
satisfaction among the numerous parties
suffering from all sorts of chronic aztec.
tions, from this and several of the ad-
joining counties, vino were induced to 20
to Abbeville aud other places, attracted
by the advertisement of tho Atlanta
Medical Institute, asking such parties 70
report, and they would treat them.
Many poor persons went, at considerable
expense, in obedience to the invitation.
They were disappointed by being told in
nearly every instance to come TO Atlanta
end the prices charged seemed 60 be
very exorbitant. Doubtless many of
their cases have to be treated in n regular
institution, under the care of skillfnl
surgeons, but many of these cases are
often operated upon by surgeons from
Charleston and Columbia, at the home Of
the patients, with complete success, the
after treatment being carried out bY the
family physician. This is great saving
to our people, and The sooner they learn
to rely upon scientific aud skillful sur.
geons at home, the better for them. We
express the sense of our people ia saying
that this trip Of the surgeons of the At
lanta Medical Institute was q grand
drumming expedition for that institution,
without consulting the interest of the
unfortunates whom they attracted by
advertising.-Niaety-iSSr Guardian.

Grange GeInzuR a.
Under tho Supervision OF the Executive
Committee OF Pomona Grange.
Determinations ia Freight.

On recent visit to the city of Charles
ton l was gratified to see the spirit that
existed among the merchants of that city
upon this subject. They have at last
seen, and ore feeling, the cause of their
loss o? trade, and have already aeld
meeting TO consider what plan was best
to adopt to bring back the trade Of the
upper section of our State. Their facil-
tiles Cor purchasing and selling goods, or
for handling cotton successfully, is far
better than her sitter cities, if they can
remove the only obstacle-the heavy
freight charges over the South Carolina
Railroad and her branches leading into
the up-country. Not so much the South
Carolina Railroad proper, for freighta
over that line, and also passage fare, is
certainly reasonable enough, but it is all
tackled on after 1t gets into the hands of
some of its branches. Another of the
evils complained Of very much by our
city merchants, and justly 30, is the want
of connection between the Railroads and
the vessels on the Wharf. This would
relieve them very much, and the Rail-
road would have been extended long
ago, bat gentlemen owning this property,
who are generally in soma way identified
with the South Carolina Railroad, object
on the ground that the grass would grow
up on the Wharf If such was the case.
Another reason assigned is, that the
company ia not in possession of the nec-
essary funds to make the change. This
objection has been met by individuals
who propose to furnish the funds if the
company wnnid make the connection.
These questions have almost caused q
little antagonism to spring up between
the upper and lower country, and we
will all hail with joy any relief that can
be given, and the removal of any obsta-
Gle that may have existed heretofore.
Something will certainly be done, for the
matter is under consideration in the
proper shape, and it will not be very
long until we hope to see change for
the better, and that inducements will be
offered to the up-county which will
again place Charleston on equality with,
If not give her great advantages ever,
sister cities in many ways. One change
has already been effected through the
efforts CT The sntsTpTising frnl OF F. w.
Wagener & Co., which is great advant-
age to parties shipping small lots of pro.
duce, such as apples. potatoes, cabhages,
chestnuts, etc. All of this class of goods
can to-day be sent through for 25c per
hundred pounds. This will lead to
more diversified industry among the
farmers, for al who have desired to
engage in this business, and have been
prevented On account Of the excessive
freight charges, and the length of time
upon the roads, can make the trip in less
than "a hours; and all goods, however
PeTishabis, can De shipped without loss.

beyond that he can bear. The plan Is,
little by little-eyery man aiding just in
proportion to the degree of prosperity
with which high heaven invariably
blesses those who do not bury their
talents, but use them,
The gentleman Who Is at the head Of
this enterprise IA tHis city, is In evefy
possible way admirably fitted for the
prominent position to which he has been
called in connection with it. President
William T. Wheless, of the well.known
firm OF Sibley & Wheless, and President
Of the Commercial Bank, Is gentleman
Of first-cla5s business abilities. He be-
longs 10 that class of men, the members
Of which do not listlessly take hold of
any measure. He espouses cause, be-
cause convinced that It Is just be en-
barks id an enterprise, because persuaded
that 1t is both practicable and desirable.
Besides this, President Wheless is Is
young man and fully abreast of the
times. There is to-day not . man in
this city, or, for that matter, in this
State, who is more keenly alive to the
wants Of Our people end the agencies
which, IL properly handled, may be
made to supply those wants than VIM.
T. Wheless. I write this, of course,
wi."out his knowledge, and do so simply
for the purpose of acquainting your peo-
pie with the manner of man with whom
your people will be brought into active
relations at an early day.
1t was not my purpose to have written
80 much on the subject Of railway COM
munication. 1t was in my mind to give
you one or two short paragraphs on that
topic, then to branch out into gossipy
letter. l may do that some fine day,
provided you are "like Barkis."

difficult to understand the process that
has rendered them any wiser, better or
more reliable advisers to-day tii6n they
were then. We have tiled combinations
and affiliations with them, and have
away ...:: 1s:s-... Only when We de-
fed them we succeeded, end this victory
is harbinger Of victory and not of
defeat. If there is any reason why the
Radicals ought to help nominate County
officers, the same applies to State officers
aluo. They should, according to the
writer's views, be invited 10 send up
their representatives 10 the State Nom-
mating Convention to help nominate
there, and if they have the majority
which is ascribed to them. they would
not only be the advisers, but also the
masters, of the Democracy. They would
nominate State ticket of their own
selection. This would be the legitimate
and inevitable result of adopting this
chimerical plan. The writer thinks that
all pledger should be abolished; that
the mere participation in primary
election binds the recruits from the
Radicals. Every one knows that the
ordinary Radical voter would. not pay
any attention to such an obligation.
They have frequently told falsehoods
about their votes, and there is no de-
pcndence to be placed in them. We are
not to be benefited from the assistance
and advice of such an elemcr: in the
selection of candidates. The intimaton
that we ehall have to resort to force and
intimidation 10 retain the State if the
novel plan of the writer In rejected, is
uncailed for, and implies that we OBJ
tanned tho State in the last election by
that means, whi-l assertion could not be
sustained by any tangible proof. The
insinuation ought not to have been
made. The new plan has nothing of
reason or sentiment to recommend it,,
and will OF course be condemned wher-
ever 1t is offered.
In conclusion, we must say that this
discussion has already occapied much
moro space than 1t has deserved. The
opinion of the Democrats of this County
ID overwhelmingly against the PROPOSE
tion, and we therefore take this occasion
to notify the writer that as he has been
accorded oil the space he has asked for
two weeks to elucidate bis position, that
the controversy must cease after this
until he can get one Democratic Club
in this County TO endorse bis plan.

gress AZ saying that Mr. Tilden's failure
to take the oath OF ofic~ on the Attn of

to take the oath, and intended to do so,
till he learned of Grants determination
to arrest him on the charge of treason
