GIN THE LONG Run"

The old-sashioned saying,
So lightly expressed
And so carelessly uttered,
Is one of the best!
Oh. ponder, young ;rifer,
With life work begun,
The deep, earnest meaning
OF "In the long run"
For "In the long run,"
The seed will spring up
That was sown in the garden
Or dropped in the cup.
And remember no roses
Will spring from the weed;
And no beautiful fruit
From the unworthy seed.
How many STRIPPING
In trouble to-day,
By riotoTs living
With comrades too gay;
With character shipwrecked
And duties undone,
Will do sorrows harvesting
SIN the long run"
"In the long run" will
The toiler fare best,
Who performs honest labor
And takes honest rest;
Who, co ntented and happy,
Hastes not in a day
Or year to heap riches
That will soon pass awag!
The good and the evil,
That bides in the earth;
The joy and the sorrow,
The pain and the mirth;
The battles lnheeded,
The victories won,
VIII yield what is sown,

THE u. s. SUPREME COURT.
An Important Decision Against Lotteries.

John 3. Stone ct al VS.. the State
of Mississippi. The question presen-
ted by this case is whether State
after having chartered lottery CON-
pany and entered into contract with
1t still has constitutional right be-
fore the expiration Of the time of the
company's charter and in the absence
Of any defaulton the company's part to
pass laws making the conducting of
lottery, whether authorized or unau-
thorizcd, an offence against the State.
In the present case the State brought
suit tosuppress the lottery known as the
Mississippi Agricultural, Educational
and Manufacturing Aid Society, char
tered by the State in 1867, but for
hidden by Article II, Section Is, of
the State Constitution of 1868. The
Circuit Court entered judgment of
custer against the respondents, which,
upon appeal, was affirmed by the su-
preme Court of the STATE. This Court
holds that although the lottery COM
pany Of the plaintiffs in error was
duly chartered BY the State, the Leg
islature which granted that charter
had no authority to bargain away the
police power of the State, that is the
regulation of all matters affecting the
public health and public morals; that
lotteries are demoralizing in their
effects, no matter how carefully regu-
lated, cannot, in the opinion Of this
Court, be doubted. There is now
scarcely a State in the Union where
they are tolerated, and Congress has
enacted special statute, the object
Of which is to. close the mails against
them. This baing the case there can
be DO question that lotteries are proper
subjects for the exercise of State gov
ernmental or police power. Contracts
which the Federal Constitution pro-
tects are those which relate to property
rights, not to governmental rights.
Lotteries belong to the latter class.
They are species of gambling and
wrong in their influences. They dis
turb the checks and balance Of a we'll
ordered cummuuity. Society built on
such foundations would almost of ne
cessity bring forth population Of
spectators and gamblers, living on
the expectation of what chance might
award them from the accumulations Of
others. Certainly the right to stop
them is governmental. and can be ex-
ercised at all times by those in power
at their discretion. Any one therefore
who accepts lottery charter does SO
with the implicit understanding that
the people in ther sovereign capacity
and through their properly constituted
authorities may take it back at any
time when the public good shall re-
ouire, aud this whether it be paid for
or not. He gets in legal effect moth
ing more than a license to continue on
terms named for specified time un-
less sooner abrogated by the sovereign
power of the State. It is a permit as
against existing laws, but subject to
future legislation or constitutional
control or withdrawal. Decree affirmed
with costs. Opinion by Chief Justice
Waite.

Very respectfully,

@. A. GILMORE,
Lieutenant.C Colonel of Engineers, Bre-
7et-Majcr General U. S. A.
IN a communication to the Hon.
J. H. Evins, member of Congress,
upon this subject, the Chairman Of
the Committee says: 1T strikes me
that this condition does justify and
loudly call for a cheaper method Of
transportation Of his cotton and other
productions to market for one, third
its present cost. With cheap trans
portatio1 a larger area would be
planted, lands would increase in value
and emigrants would be attracted ; to
say nothing Of the effect it would
have upon the development Of the
mineral resources of the State and in
giving additional value to timber
lands.'
The opening of these rivers to nav
igation is of greater importance to
the State that even cotton manufac:
tnre. Will the State Convention,
which assemblies here Oh the lst
proximo, take little time to consider
these questions which affect the ma
terial prosperity Of the State? Will
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress take up this matter in earn
est? Will not the people of the
State join in petitiouing Congress to
opeo the Broad, Congaree, Wateree
and Santee Rivers for steam naviga-
tion no pole boat arrangement;
that is too slow for South Carolina.

BROAD RIVER IMPROVE.
gIENT.
Columbia ReCiSter.


The favorable report of the United
States Engineer upon the practicable
/; ty of opening the Wataree and Santee
Rivers to navigation should encourage
renewed effort to secure boating ia.
cilities on the Broad and Congaree
Rivers, so that boats may have unob.
structed passage from the mountains
to the sea.
A small appropriation having been
made by Congress for a survey Of
Broad River, Mr.. J. P. Carson, Chief
Engineer, under the direction of Gen
eral Gilmore, of the United States
Engineer Corps, made survey If the
Broad River last Winter, assisted BY
our townsman, Mr.. J. Reed Stoney.
Mr.. Carson: at the request of Colonel
S. P. Pearce, Chairman of the Com
mittee on navigation of the Columbia
Board of Trade, gives summary OF
his report, which is as follows, viz:
[ recommend that the river be
opened to uniform channel of Eve
