off the storm, and bringing a. gale with
him, she laughed like girl. 81 de-

and ruddy as he was, after throwing off
his cloak, Arnold had stalked forward
to that fire, and had seized the little
bundle of rags and ribbons and eyes in
his arms. "

We hope the discussion which we ar,

We hope the discussion which we arc
about to enter upon in some portions of
this County relative to the subscription
TO the Savannah Valley Railroad will he
free from personalities or bitterness.
There is no argument in abuse, and
neither party should resort to it. The
question for consideration is simply
whether it will be profitable Tor us to
subscribe as proposed. If it will, we
should do it. II 1t will not, we should
not do it. Then, TO decide this problem,
let as present the arguments for our re-
spcctiye sides respectfully and in the
clearest manner possible. after which
each side should give respectful and
candid consideration TO the arguments
of the other, without passion or abuse.
The lEfELLIGENCER is unqualifedIy in
FAVOR Of the subscription, but We arc
perfectly willing to accord full oppor.
tunity for discussion to both sides. ard
therefore We invite any who are opposed
TO subscription to present their views, il
they be so inclined, through our columns

Winning the First Round,

The merchants have won the first
round In the contest against the railroad.
The agent has been notified to shin cot
ton from Winnsboro' to Columbia for
seventynine cents bale, and to Char
lotte for one dollar and sixty-two cents.
These are precisely the rates for the dis
tance on the basis of estimate by weight.
and they arc much less than WinnsbOro'
has heretofore enjoyed. AS the charge
is simply made by the bale. without
specifying whether it is by weight or by
measurement, we are ut loss to understand
whether the road is gracefully Welding
the position and abandoning the cubic.
foot device, or whether it is merely max
ing temporary concession to syoid n
collision with the State railroad commis-
sioner, as it was threatened with
an injunction if it persisted in its
course. We do not propose to crow over
the matter, for the issue has not been de-
cided i'll any way. Until the courts or
the Legislature shall have declared cot
ton weighty article the merchants will
be in the power of the road, which can
make its arbitrary charges in the midst
OF the cotton season, when the courts
cannot intervene in time to prevent seri-
Gus loss. The issue should be brought
to final determination for all time. In.
deed, we have little doubt that the Leg.
islature will be asked to inquire into the
matter and grant relief from oppression.
Unless the railroad pays up the damages
demanded i'll the present suit by :he
merchants the case will be pushed for
ward vigorously. A charge of ten cents
bale, if passed on measurement, is as
bad as two dollras. The principle is
wrong, and it should be resisted lust as
our forefathcrs resisted the imposition of
a nominal stamp tax.

British Admiral Coates, on the East India

should move West, locate and improve

them to be satisfied with their present

ton that there will be no peace in the

they get away tho better it would be for
their race. One or two were rather vio-

arc going to move if they die on the
road. Poor deluded racel Little do
they think about tho hardships and de-
privations of settling new country, and
of the capital and energy it will take to
build it up. | see plainly some of our
white tenants are urging on the negroes
to leave, thinking if they can get them
out of their way that the whites will DO

tho lands. They contend that the nc

PERSONALITIES AND pnospmATEs

The Beaufort Crescent seems TO be on
The rampage over the phosphate ques-
tion, and is enlisted for the war against
any a,;pirant for official position who
darcs believe in or advocate the forma-
ton of chartered companies to dig or
mine the phosphate deposits in our nav
isablc streams and marsh lands. This
goes SO far with our contemporary NJ to
induce him to forget his usual courtesy
and simply because it has been reported
that Col. Lipscomb is to be candidate
for Governor and Gen. Pope candidate
Tor Attorney General, the Crescent says
Well, Capt. Lipscomb is a granger OF
tho 32d degree, and perhaps Y. J. Pope
has been promised :. neat little berth for
his speech for the phosphate monopolista
III 1877. What strange bed fellows poll
ties make. This Y. J. Pope was one of
the twain employed by the State to resist
the payment Of the fraudulent bonds.
For this he and Mettz arc heavily fed to
help the Attorney General. But ne
voluntarily raised his voice in defense of
the Phosphate Monopoly that grinds the
,,H"r:o under ms oppressive an extortion.
oh, Consistency, thou art jewel. We
suppose when he fell from grace in one
position he made up in piety to the
other, and of couree his reward is in the
security felt by all saints in future re.
wards.
Now this is rather rough wuy in
w'iicil 10 speak of gentleman who has
given no further oIsnse than simply en-
tcrtaining n different view Ms to the best
course to manage certain species OF
State property. Men ought to be able to
differ on such questions, and to submit,
their differences to their fellow-citizens
on the arguments which they. arc able to
submit on their respective sides. Those
who are acquainted with Gen. Pope
know thet he is sincere and pure go,l-
tlcman, whose views arc matured in nc.
ccrdance with sincere convictions, and
this should protect him from such un-
called for attacks Us our Beaufort con.
temporary has seen ftto make upon him.
In regard to the phosphate question, we
must confess that we have noted the diff.
furences of the advocates of restricted
rights and those of general rights with
much interest, and, after hearing both
sides, we believe that neither of them is
right. In our opinion the State should
utilize its convict labor tn dig these de-
posts, and thereby reap the profit over
which these contending parties arc fight
ing. We hope to see some such plan as
this presented to the next session OF the
Legislature, and, if it is done, we have
no doubt that both parties will bury the
hatchct long enough to unite in opposing
it. The State, however, should control
the phosphates which belong to her, and
should reap the profits Of working them.
