ZIG LAHYERA' FEES.

There are lawyers and lawyers
Whom Daniel Webster and Rufus
Choate were alive, neither Of these
eminent representatives Of the green
bag had the audacity to exact fee
running into the tens of thousands.
Indeed, Mr.. Webster thought he
was on tho road to fortune when he
received $4,000 for single case,
although it was not uncommon for
him to take O retainer Of $1,000.
Rufus Choate got $4,000 for defend
ing Professor Webster, the Cam
bridge "geutleman of great prop
erty,' who murdered Parkman in
side the walls of the Medical Col
lege. on North Grove street.
Probably the Massachusetts law
yers who are receiving the largest
fees about this time are the Hon.
Caleb Gushing and General B. r.
Butlor. Both these men have big
brains and their ideas are large no
nonsense about these men. Mr..
Gushing last year received a fee
amounting in the aggregate to
100000 for, some work he did for
a Cuban gentleman, and he expects
to realize as much moro from the
same source in the course of the
next twelve months. The basis OF
this plethorickness is located in the
island of Cuba, and pertains to some
estates that were sequestered by the
Spanish Government in the early
part of the insurrectionary period.
Mr.. Gushing is estimated AZ worth
! $2,OOO,O00.

1t was expected that the diversion

from their award by advice Of Gene,

The decline here shown is re-
markable. It is more than the
average decline in the price of the
Southern staples. And this view is
confirmed when we look to other
articles than mere bread and meat.
Brown sheetipgs, in the year, have
fallen from 124 to Is per cent,
woollen goods Is per cent, ready
made clothing 20 per cent, bleached
cottons Is per cent, shoes 10 per
cent, agricultural implements Is to
30 pec cent. Besides this, the de-
cline in the price of butter is from
30 cents a pound to 26 cents a
pound. poultry (dresseD from 20
cents to II cents, eggs from 80 cents
dozen to rs cents These are
Charleston prices, not Northern
prices, and if they teach anything in
tae world they teach that money can
bs made on cotton at ton cents q
pound, and that we con live in the
towns on the prices now ruling.
There is one thing to remember
TO get the benefit of low prices we
must work in the old~fashioned
ways. 1t will not do to live in the
expectation of selling cotton at
fifteen cents. when it is probable
that the selling price will be nine.
We must practise hard listed econo-
my and keep the crib full. Bread
and meat first, and cotton last Do
this. and South Carolina will grow
rich, for the statistics before lis
show that we can live as cheaply as
before the war. Prilts that sold
before the war for ten cents a yard
sell at five to six. In bleached cot
tons the purchasing power of bale
of raw cotton is greater than before
the war, and is greater than ever
before. A pound of raw cotton will
now buy as much goods as two and
o half pounds of cotton would buy
thirty years ago. Hard-pan and
resumption are at the bottom of it.
We sell cheaper, but we buy cheaper.
South Carolina can live and grow
rich. The State can rise more
surely than any new State can rise.
These are the conditions Econo-
my, hard work and hard money -

WHAT RES UMPT1oN MEANs.

The farmers of South Carolina,
and the townsfolk too, do not
a'w,tys realize what resumption
me ms. They SOC that the price of
what thoy have to sell goes steadily
down, and that in wages for daily
work there is a decline. But thev
do not always pause to note tho
relative difference, as it can be seen
in the following quotations for the
New Years days Of 1878 and 1879:

THE G. O. AND 4, RAILROAD.
The report of the President OF
the @. G. & A. r. r. reveals the
fact that the earnings of that road
fell short of meeting the interest due
on the bonded debt of the COM
pany by about 5000, which, with
the interest due on the floating
debt, $l3,500 interest to the city Of
Augusta, by contract $1,000, and
taxation $4,000, exhibits defi-
cheney ofsome $4,000 in meeting
current expenses. Yot in ths face
of such facts, the bon Is have ad-
vanced from $75 to 1856, which can
only be explained on. the ground
that the road will he better man.
aged since it has passed into tho
hands of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company. There is a
strong conviction that the road will
now be run in the interest of the
stockholders, and not made subser-
Went to the interest Of the officers
and that of other roads, as when
under the control OF the Winnings
ton and Columbia Railroad Com
pany. This belief is strengthened
by the fact that the last three
months show increased earnings Of
about $50, 900 over the correspond
ing dates Of the last year. The
expenditures were lossened under
the rigid rules adopted, about $21,-
600, which it is confidently believed
will be further reduced the incoming
year. Yet it must be admitted that
the salary of the President should
have been reduced from $4,000 to
at least $4,000, tho amount given to
the President before the war,
especially as all the expenses Of
living are reduced to the ante>war
prices. Railroads ought to be run
on the most economic principles, ss
though they wera private and
individual interest, but the mis-
fortune is the salaries Of most Of
the high officials are too exorbitant.
They feel rs though tho corporation
must pay them high salaries, and
the scale Of pruning, if adopted,
must begin with the day laborer.
A reduction should be mado from
the President down to the day
laborer, as all salaries have been
too high under former inflated
prices. The salaries paid to railroad
officials should be graduated on q
scale in accordance with salaries
paid in other pursuits of life. There
need be no fear Of the resignation
of any one unless tho reduction
should be reduced below tho
average wages Of other occupations.

'OsR or THE best bills passed by the
Legislature is that which compels huck-
sters and stsrekespers to designate oleo-
margarine from butter. Those who OF.
fer ,hs first for sale now without put
ting a label on it, to show purchasers
what they are buying arc aiable to a
fine OF 90 and costs for every offence.
No ono will deny that this is a just law,
for 1t is nothing less than downright
fraud for any merchant to sell thing
for butter which is really nothing more
than rendered caul fat, and which it is
we'll known that they would not pur-
chase If they knew what it was. We
hope that energetic officers will enforce
the law. In connection with this sub
ject We clip from cur neighbor the
Chester "Ti,nes," what it says about
the question:
at is claimed by oleomargarine
makers that at the International Dairy
Fair the judges could not distinguish
between oleom argarine and genuine
butter. So much the better for Oieo-
margarine, and 80 much the moro rea-
son why it should have its own name.
If it ia Just as good, perhaps little
better than butter, its own merits ought
to sell it, and its own name ought to-
designate it. II dealers want to trade
in oleomargarine there is no objection
that we know OF. But there are score
of objections why they should call it
