having been granted MIR. Fisher to extend tho
tracks of his road to tho water and to build all
necessary wharyes for the accommodation Of
frcights. The Ne,os and Courier calls this a
happy result, aud truly it is for tho interests of
Charleston and oil our people who tradc with
that city. 1t is tho duty Of our people to trado
with Charleston whenever it is to their crest,
ana wc feel sure this will be done whenever they
can get good bargains. Charleston has always
labored under tho disadvantage Of having to
haul heavy frcights nearly two miles before
reaching tho railroad. This could not bo dono
without charging drayagc. If tho road DO ex-
tended to the water Charleston will DO able 10
sell heavy goods as low rs New York, which
will add to her prosperity in point of trade
With through line and the completion of tho
Blue Ridge Road, the future Of Charleston will
be bright, both in cotton buying and in selling
goods. We would like 10 sec it restored to its
former prosperity as it is rich in history.

Congressman Evins' Views on
the Situation.

Mr.. Evins, member Of Congress from South
Carolina, has given his views to n corresponds
ent of tho New York Herald. lilo says
"Thc Democratic majority have done MI they
could to secure the repeal Of the odious laws
in question. 1t was in tho power Of tic
President to defeat their efforts, and ho has
excrted that power. The responsibility for
tho failure rests upon him and his party
alone. AS the Democrats cannot pass the
measure in tho face of their opposition, wo
ought now to accept defeat gracefully and
pnss the appropriation bills at onco without
tho political riders. We ought even to pass
them first and then offer bills rcpcnlng tho
obnoxious laws rs n separate measure. This
course would leave tho Republicans without
excuse for their opposition, MS we would be
acting in manifest and perfect good faith, and
they could not say that we were holding back
tho appropriations by way Of threat. If they
refused a. last to pass tho measures, we could
60 before tho country and let the people dc,
eide upon them. We would not allow our.
selves, rs Southern men, to be diverted from
what wo think is tho truo interest Of tho
people by any pleas Of party necessity OIL tho
part of the Northern Democrats. Wo arc
really the majority Of tho Democratic party
in each branch of Congress, and will be held
Wo have they right. therefore, to dictate the
policy to be pursued. Any attempt to ad-
jonrn without passing the appropriation bills
will bo considered revolutionary by tho
country, and we cannot afford to be put in
that position. We have been between tho
uppor and neither millstoncs long enough
We arc willing to do tho voting and allow
the Northern Democrats to hold the Offices.
but wo claim the right to shape tho policy Of
tho party for which we must and will bo
held responsible. What C1nkling said in
his recent speech is true, that we ere the
controlling power in both branches, and while
il may be very pleasant for Northern politi-
cians, seeking their profermont, to keep up
sectional strife, our interests demand that wo
shall have cessation Of such strife Should
! we adjourn without the mems Of carrying on
tho government, believe it would soidify
tho North az much as did tho firing upon
Fort Sumter in 1861. Our Northern Demo.
cratic friends might then find tho lido too
strong for them, and leavo ns in the lurch by
seeking new alliances with tho National or
Grcenback party. We cannot afford to tako
tho risks which they can. We cannot afford
to play cot to their monkey any longer. IF
thcro are any chcstnuts to be had thoy will
got them; tho burnt paws aro ours every
time. They stand in very different posi-.
tion before tho country from ours. 1t is
natural that the Northern people should look
upon us with distrust, coming as wo do into
control Of tho government so soon after the
war, and wo must learn to labor and to
wait"

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

Tho following order was made in the United
States Court, at Charleston in tho matter
of tho Blue Ridge Railroad:
THAT the Grccnvillc and Columbia Rail.
road Company under its purchase takes
nothing moro than r. X. Scott took under
his purchase at tho salo of the Blue Ridge
Railroad at auction; and that as II. X. Scott
was trustee for tho bondholdcrs of tho said
Blue Ridge Railroad Company, so tho Green
vile Columbia Railroad Company is but tho
trustee for said bondholdcrs. Further ordered
that tho case be rcmanded to the District
Court with tho direction that any deed in
conveyance mado OF tho said Blue Ridge
Railroad to tho Grccnvlle and Columbia Rail
road Company shall contain clauses and pro.
visions to this effect"
The effect of this order, if wc understand
what has been dono heretofore is to leave the
Blue Ridge Road still tho property of the
State, burdened only with any proper expense
incurred by the trustee. Tho bondholdors
arc likowisc remandcd to their original con-
dition, burdencd only with proper costs and
expenses.
