The decision of Judge Hudson
some time ago ordered the Master
to advertise to receive bids for the
Greenville & Columbia Rail Road
till the lst CT October if any bid
put in under this order exceeded
S2,393,600, it was to take the road;
otherwise the Clyde Company, who
bid that sum st the sale in April,
should take it. There were 60 bids
put in under the order, and the
Clyde Company, paid the 4th inst,
$l00,000 in cash and gave bond
for the payment of the balance OF
the first installment within the re-
quired time. This, it is hoped,
will end the litigation over the road.

Our Washington letter.
WASHINGTON. D. G.,

Oct. G. 1850.
In this city, where both Grant and
!Eancock are we'll known, the recent
alleged statements TO the latter oy the
former create e1ua! amaz-nent ard
arE:r"1,.-t. Even the qualifications
put up by the President upon the
statements first published hardly save
them from being cassed, as at first,
among the most ridiculous expressions
OF opinion, and the worst perversiouS
of fact even put before the people.
On ii'r dav hostilities ceased III 1863
General Grant, Sherman, and Han
cock were united in the ideas of what
should be done to restore the good
feelings throughout the country. |
do not believe Gran: was one whit less
conservative at that time than Han
cock Both had thorough detesta-
tiou Of those politicians who wished
to prolons strife. Unfortunately Grant
was drawn into politics long before
ne agreed to accept nomination for
the Presidency do not think he
desired to become mixed up with
affairs outside vf his military duties.
Luexcusably, however, he was led on,
and, though he never accepted the more
violent plans of!Thad Stevens, he DC.
cane as completely the tool Of the
Republican party, and the in<tru-
mert though which its plans, what
ever those plans might become as if
he had never known any scrurlcs con-
cerning the Constitution OF lis coun
try. Then it was that Grant and
Hancock parted--one becoming tie
servant Of = party aud the other re.
,aaiaing on the ground upon which
both had served their country. Why
Grant should now attribute the diffe-
renee in their present political posi-
tion to a change in Hancock, or to
change in Hancock's part, is wonder
to all who know them both. The ex-
act opposition is the uudeniable fact
Hancock remains what he was, while
Grant, elevated to office by party,
quarreling with his party leaders from
tiuie to time has at last becowe the
head Of a part Of that party, the party
itself being minority Of the people
Of the Union.
The Post Master General did not
wait to get warm in his seat after his
return from Tennessee, but left for
Ohio and Indiana, following Schurz,
Sherman, and innumerable other gov
ernment officials. There is no Presi-
dent here, no member of the Cabinet
no Commissioner this or Deputy that.
All are turned into the doubtful
States. In the history Of the country
there has never beer anything like
this.
But up to the present time this
concentration Of officials does not
seem to have frightened the sturdy De-
mccracy of Indiana or Ohio. They
make daily reports that the people Of
those States are to be in the field Or
the 18th OF this month, and no mat
ter what the result may be then, will
turn out with 1einforceMeuts in No.

Grant Gls Hancock .

Gen. Grant has done some good
things, and many very mean things;
but the lneanest thing of al is his
attack recently made on the charac,
ter and record of Gen. Hancock.
The Radical papers are just now
iubilant over m interview between
Grant and the Rev. DR.. Fowler, q
Northern Methodist preacher, in
which Grant is reported to have
said many very ugly things about
the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. The Republicans have
been raking and scraping every
nook and corner in Hancock's life,
and had utterly failed to find a sin
gle charge against him. Now Grant
comes to the rescue and lends him
self to such dirty work as would
put to shame the most brazen pot,
house politician-antl in this dirty
work the other instrument is q rab
idly l;;,lical Doctor Of Divinity.
The reported interview took place
at Gr;Ut's house in Galena. Illinois.
the 21st OF September, and Grant
gave the I'D. permission to pub
lish it. 1t was published simulta-
neously in the Cincinnati Gazette,
the New York Times and the lead
ing Republican papers the 5th in
stant, Just one mrrd J..l1re tie Ohio
and Indiana cIectionS, giving just
time enough for it to so before the
country pio: to these elections and
not time enough for Hancock's re-
ply to coanteract any influence it
might have.
Of course the whole thing was
arranged for purpose: it Was a
''put up job"
Grant is made to say, in the re-
ported interview, that down to
1864 Hancock seemed anxious to
do bis duty as IN officer; that in
that yual he received one vote for
the Presidency, and ii greatly ex-
cited hiul-.'i5 crazel him" He
says ti)::t Hancock is ambitious,
vain and weak. IIo says that ever
since 1864 liarcocll has shaped his
course to secure Southern favor
and Democratic sapyort: that his

what Shall ssa gsone with the
SEODGicsS .

SOlE 1SsS
This IS Il serious and trouble,
some question. It is q question
that is agitating the public mind.
not noisily, but deeply. It is an
important question, and it cannot
be ignored. There are hundreds
Of men in this State asking this
question and demanding an answer
with an earnestness that is terrible;
IN earnestness that is heightened
md deepened by the strongest feel
;ngs that can move a mans heart.
i1very mcchdnic is asking the ques-
lion. It is a troublesome question.
! fey years ago, when large appro-
priations were made annually to
support the Penitentiary, a great
hue and cry was raised: Make the
penitentiary self-supporting." It
vas said that thieves and cut
throats were supported in indleness
3y the sweat and labor Of honest
men. The public demanded that the
convicts should be made to earn theis
bread and butter. More recently
this demand has been partially com
oiled with, and the efforts to make
he institution self supporting have
been remarkably successful. But
now another trouble arises as great,
# not greater than, the former.
The convicts have been put to work
in nearly ali the branches Of me-
chanic art. Some Of the best arti
cles of common use, such as shoes,
brooms, hats, furniture, marble
work, &C., are made in the Peniten-
tiary by convicts-and, to use an
advertising phrase, at prices that
dety competition. That sounds very
well to the buyers of these articles :;
but how is it with the honest citi-
zen who makes these articles for q
living ?-the men who have spent q
great part of their lives and their
scant fortune to become skillful me-
,,hanics? Here lies the trouble.
Can they, with house-rent to pay
md a family to support, compete
with convicts who make these arti-
ales at the bare cost of the raw ma
terial? Assuredly not. We could
easily give instances where this
convict labor has come into compe-
tition with honest labor here in our
own Town and County; where al
ticles have been purchased from the
Penitentiary at prices much below
what any honest mechanic could
make them for. Therefore, we say,
it is wrong to place convict labor in
competition with labor. It is
wrong to the honest laborer. It
is shifting the taxes for the support
Of the Penitentiary from the shoul-
ders of the whole people and plac-
ing it on the shoulders of a COM
paratively small portion-the me-
chanics. Every article sold from
the Penitentiary takes something
out Of the pocket Of some honest
mechanic. And this is not ali.
These convicts come out at the end
Of their sentence with a good trade,
which they have been taught free,
to compete with honest men.
The Democratic party of this
State must not shirk this question
if it do it will surely suffer for it.
Convicts can be made to work on
railroads, public roads and in other
ways but it is not right that they
should be taught trades and put in
competition with honest men. Bet
ter let the State pay every dollar
for their support, even in idleness.
