THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD,

The management of the South Caro-
lima Railroad passed into the hands of
the Receiver, Mr.. John H. Fisher, ap-
pointed by Judge Bond, on last Monday.
As number of our readers are inter-
ested in this road, we make the following
extract from an editorial in the News and
Courier as to its future prospects and
management:
The South Carolina Railroad, however,
is not dead, or sleeping. Mr.. Fisher, in
some respects, will be more free than the
President and Directors were. Upon
him there will not press a mass of COM
plex and conflicting liabilities, srd as he
is familiar with railroad management, in
every branch, there is no reason to doubt
that he will make good use of his advan-
tages. The successful working of the
South Carolina Railroad involves work
ing in the interest of Charleston. The
two, the City and the Road, cannot be
divorced, without mortal hurt to both.
One is dependent on the other. Mr..
Fisher appreciates this fact, and, as he
was appointed by Judge with whom he
is in nowise connected, upon the nomi-
nation of the counsel representing the
Road, the Syndicate and other defendant
interests at Baltimore, he will take q
pride in retaining everything in the con-
duct of the Road that is broad and liberal
and suited to the times, pushing the pro-
gressive features of the policy of the retir-
ing administration to point which Mr..
Magrath and his associates unfortunately
could not reach. We are assured that
Mr.. Fisher contemplates nothing extreme
or revolutionary. He will do no more,
and no less, than is requisite to bring the
South Carolina Railroad to the first rank
among Southern Roads, and to make it
valuable and paying property to all
interested.

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to
tho attacks of malarial disease. The most
triains exposure may, under such condi-
tons, infect system which, if healthy,
would resist the miasmatic taint. The only
way to secure immunity from malaria in
localities where it is prevalent, is to tone
and regulate the system by improving
weakened digestion, enriching the blood,
and giving wholesome impetus to hillary
secretion. These results are accomplished
by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters which long experience has
proved to be the most reliable safeguard
against fever and ague and kindred disor-
ders, as well as tho best remedy for them.
The Bittsrs are, moreover, an excellent in
vigorant of the organs of urination, and an
active depurent, eliminating from the blood
those acrid impurities which originate
rheumatic ailments.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING On NEXT
SATURDAY.

Arrangements are now being perfected
for the gathering of the Democratic hosts
at Anderson Court House on next Sat-
urday. A number of distinguished
speakers from abroad, engaged in the
State canvass, will be present and ad-
dress the assemblage on the live issues of
the day. This meeting may not be
necessary for the success of the Demo
cratic party in this County at the ensu-
ing election, but it, in connection with
those held and being held in every Coun-
ty in the State, is absolutely necessary to
carry the State. The enthusiasm and de-
termination of the people of the upper
and middle counties of the State in 1876
gave to the whole State such assurances
Of success that every heart was nerved
for the contest, and decided victory the
result. So long as the same enthusiasm
and determination animate the people
success is inevitable. If, with the whole
State government against us, We defeated
the Radicals so thoroughly, certainly,
with that government with US, we can
defeat the demoralized hosts of our oppo-
nents. The only danger that we see to
the Democratic party of the State in the
future arises from conviction of over
confidence. In 1876 every man felt his
duty to the State, and made every sacri-
fee necessary to discharge that duty, and
thereby secured an honest and econom-
ical government, by which he has been
most amply repaid for every sacrifice he
made. So long as the spirit of 1876 en-
thuse the people, so long will we have
good government. When the great
masses of the people from oyer-con6dence
or any other cause become indifferent
about the administration of the govern
ment, then is defeat and maladmistration
only question Of time. The Democrats
of Anderson are called upon to give an
other day to the party and State, and to
make the same effort to retain and per-
petuate good government that they made
to defeat the horde of thieves who had
usurped the Offices and powers of the
State. The same determination that
characterized the canvass two years ago
should now be manifested, and next Sat-
urday become noted as the day upon
which the masses have reiterated their
resolve that South Carolinians Snail rule
South Carolina. Let every Democrat in
the County feel that the success of the
meeting depends upon him, and then the
assembled thousands will Enthusiastically
declare that what has been achieved in
the past shall not be lost in the future by
indifference or inactivity. Able and dis
tinguished speakers, among whom will
be Gen. NJ. G. Butler and the Hon. D.
w. Aiken, will be present, and let the
Democracy of Anderson give them such
a reception as the occasion merits. The
business men of Anderson have de-
termined to close their doors on chat day,
and so let all business in the County be
suspended for one day, and that day
given to the State, and the County will
save thousands of dollars in the cne item
of taxes, besides securing good and hon
est government.

"A Washington dispatch states that
the Government has received two prop
ositions from Governor Wade Hampton
to collect whatever tax the United States
may claim should be paid by South Car.
olina and turn it over to the General
Government. This curious offer arose in
the course of the movement Of the COM
missioner of internal revenue against il
licit distillers in South Carolina. These
gave Governor Hampton much annoy
ance, and finally he sent word that, for
the purpose of avoiding all such troub,
les rs those then pending, he would
agree, if the Government was willing: to
hold himself responsible for whatever sum
it might decide should be paid by South
Carolina on account of internal revenue
and collect it and pay it over.

Senator Bayard.

Senator Bayard OF Delaware, whose
name is prominent asa democratic candi-
date for President in 1880. does not be-
lieve in substituting greenbacks for ma
tional bank notes. Ia speech the other
day he said that as national bank capital
is taxable and greenbacks are not. the
change wOuId c,a off source Of rerenue
and so produce MORE UNTAXED WEALTH
The platform on which DR.. Garcelon
stands contains the absurdity of denounc.
ing non-taxable bonds and iavoring more
non-taxsble greenbacks to the exclusion
of taxable bank capital. Senator Bay
ards head is level upon that subject.

Greenbacks and Reputation.

The clamor for more green backs means
q war against credits, reputation OF all
debts public and private, and recast OF
society In which the honest, the industrious
and the frugal shall take back seats. The
rank and file of the greenbackers may
believe their movement calculated to cure
oil the ills that flesh is heir to, but the
dsmagogues who lead them know better.
The chief of these demagogues is Benz.
+. Butler. man of great brain power.
but whose delight is mischief. II, how
ever, his followers are ignorant OF his
ultimate designs it is not his fault, for
there is no disguise in his proclamations.
In his carefully prepared speech in Con-
gress in February last. he paraded his
system of Finance" in the following
words
II demand that that dollar shall be is
sued by the Government alone. I.
! want that dollar stamped upon some
convenient and cheap material of the
least possible intrinsic value, so tina,
neither its wear nor its destruction will
be any loss TO the government issuing il
desire that The dollar so issued
shall nerer be redeemed. see no more
reason why the unit Of measure OF value
should be redeemed or redeemable than
that the yard stick with which | measure
my cloth or the quart with which meas.
ure my milk should be redeemed"
Butler thus proclaims his idea of money
to be, not something having value In itself,
interchangeable with other values, but
piece OF paper, having the least possible
value IN itself, with u word stamped
upon it that shall force it upon creditors
Ia lieu OF payment, and carry also the
assurance that it will never be redeemed.
1t is to be employed also as a prohibition
OF all credit since no man will part with
bis property or render service ia view of
any such return. He instances the Yard
stick as holding the same relation to cloth
that payment should hold 10 an obligation.
Accordingly. If one should owe for bale
of dry goods. he might in the absence of
Buffers "dollar', satisfy the demand by
the tender OF yardstick.
That any considerable number of peo-
pie who read and write can accept leader
ship under q man who talks in this way.
IL one Of the greatest wonders of the
times. 1t is of course partly accounted
for by the fact that some schemers in the
democratic party are repeating Buffers
nonsense In the hope Of imposing upon
the wesk-minded and ignorant, and bring
ing about disruption of parties. from the
chaos Of which they. being now in the
minority, can afford TO take their chance,

Make Thorough Preparations.

The labors of the campaign will close in
one week. Next Monday we vote. Let
the short space of time which remains for
work be improved to the best possible adj
vantage. Much depends upon the thor
ough manner in which the work Of prepa-
ration is carried on this week. Let the
canvass be made as perfect as possible.
Look to the doubtful voters. Labor with
them. Bring them upon the Honest Mon
ey side il possible. There is yet lorge
class of voters who are undecided as to
the ticket they will vote; these are the
men with whom missionary work will be
profitable.
The correction of the voting lists is one
of the most important duties that remains
to be attended to. OF those who have just
come of age to vote in the State, much the
larger part will vote the republican ticket !;
it is therefore important that our friends
be careful to have the names of new vot-
ers added to the voting lists in season. No
less important is it to see that no names
are added by the opposition which are
fraudulent, or from any cause ought not
to be upon the lists.
There are upwards Of one hundred and
fifty public meetings to be held this week
in various parts of the State. See to 1t that
they are well advertised and well attended.
If we can reach the ears and understand
ing Of the people we shall persuade men
to vote with us Tor Honest Money who
never voted with US before. Thea
ment is with US. Now let every man who
wants to see the resumption of specie pay
ments and resumption of business pros
perity talk and work for the Honest
Money ticket until the issue is settled at
the polls on the 9th.

From the Boston Journal.
The "BlOated' BOndhOlder.

Never was there an outcry against any
class more causeless and wicked than that
which the greenback leaders have raised
against those who hold the bonds OF the
United States. These unfortunate persons
are represented to be the millionaires of
the country. the men who have amassed
large fortunes and who control great mo-
nopolies. Such, however, is not the case.
Beyond those owned by men who have
purchased them as the basis of national
banking, the men who control large sums
of money have not invested in Govern
ment bonds. They have not done SO be-
cause at all times they were able to so en-
ploy their money that they could realize
larger returns than the interest which the
bonds bear can afford.
This statement is fully verified by the
records of the Treasury department. Re.
Gently the New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser requested the Treasurer of the United
States to furnish ii for publication the num-
Der of holders Of the registered bonds in
the funded loans of the United States who
hold more and less than $40, 900. and was
given the following figures from the Off
cial record:
FIVE PER CENT FUNDED LOAN OF 1881
August. 1878, Dividend.
Number holding $4,000 and over, 1910
less than $1,000. $500
Total amount held tl35 1888, 45O.
~ PER CENT FUNDED LOAN OF 1891.
June, ls3s, Dividend.
Number holding $4,000 or over. 1899
less than tie 0os. 5,ss7
Total amount held, t<7,l5l, 100.
FOUR PER CENT. CoNsoLs OF 1907.
july, 1878, Dividend.
Number holding slO 900 ana over, 1924
- less than $1,000. 1908
Total amount held, t89, t64 900.
The above figures tell their own story
and need no comment. They show that
the registered bonds are not held in mass
es but in comparatively small amounts
They show that if the holders of United
States bonds are "bloated," their sleek
rotundity must be derieved from other
sources than Government bonds.
But il the registered bonds are scattered
in the manner the above figures indicate,
what must be the case when the owner
ship of the coupon bonds is considered
The person who purchases $50 or 800
bond as he has the means, is likely TO take
the coupon rather than the registered,
while those who take greater sums will
be more likely to have them registered.
But there is another point. Those bond
holders who have more than SIC. 900 worth
of United States securities are not individ-
uals but savings banks. national banks.
insurance offices and such educational and
charitable institutions as have funds, the
proceeds of which minister to the necessi-
ties and advantages Of people either poor
or in moderate circumstances. The saw
ngs banks of Massachusetts alone hold
SIG ,246, 1852 of Government bonds. Is i,
possible that any portion of the deposit
ors to whom those bonds belong are
"bloated ?"
1t is high time that men of average
sense and claiming any respect on the
ground of decency, should stop this absurd
and malicious assault upon the owners of
the bonds of our Government.
