The Formulation of Berlin.

A report just issued by the municipal
ity of Berlin gives some Interesting infor-
nation as to the growth of hepopulation
of that city. AT the end of the seven
teenth century, when London and Paris
contained considerably more than 100000
inhabitants, Berlin was an unimportant
town, with a population of little over TO-
600. 1t was enlarged and embellished
under the great elector and the two first
Prussian kings and in the time of Fred
erick the Great, at the beginning of the
present century, had already risen to
about 100000, 1t increased still further
after the close of the war with Napoleon
and during the long peace that followed
but at the end of 1860, though the NUM-
cipal district had been considerably ex-
tended, it did not contain much more
than 100000 inhabitants. During the
sixteen years that followed however. its
population was almost doubled. This
has not been the case with any town of
the same size except New York Since
1877 the population Of Berlin has been
over 100000, and it is now the largest
city in Europe after London and Paris.

The Ricblaud Democrats had their
camraign meeting in Columbia last
night. and it is reported to have been
a grand and successful one. Senators
Butler aud Hampton we're among the
speakers. Both of them denounced
Independentism in strong and unmis:
takeable terms. Gen. Butler said:
"The ticket which the party had Sc
lected at their primary was unexcep-
tionable, and the men who had par
ticipated in it and would afterwards
vote for an Independent or Green
hacker was stabbing his party, the
great Democratic party, in the back.
There was no dividing line, a man
must be either a Radical or a Demo
crat, and the latter who could forsake
his party now had better be sent

Elsewhere in these columns may be found
some estimates as to the complexion of the
next Congress. The figures. we think, repre-
sent that body In the most favorable light
for the Democratic party. Should
Republicans have a majority In the
House OF Representatives there is no telling
by who.1 the Southern States will be repre-
sented. General Stalbrand, 1t is said, made
his brags long before the election. II there
was Republican House, that be would con-
test for Aiken's scat in Congress, no matter II
he received not more than two votes. No one
knows better than he does what manner OF
men compose the Republican party. and II he
thought his party would give him the seat to
which another was elected, he but expressed
O true estimate Of his political allies. We
should not be surprised to see every defeated
Republican candidate in Washington on the
fourth Of March, ready and anxious to take
the seats in that body 10 which they were
not elected,

tbints Indiana held mr. M remsrsabI = veil eon.;ss,i me-
the defeat In October and that they have not had q
majority in the State since 1872 and then less than
1900 for Hendricks for Governor. Personally he feels
no chngrtn at the result While feeling the honor OF
q unanimous nomination, the Vlce.Presldency, with
out influence and patronage, has no charms for him,
and be feels rather glad that he is left to live a moro
%congenial md profitable life. Democracy, with .
Democratic SENATE, . close House of Representatives,
and the Presidency decided by q small majority in a
single State, will not die. The real cause OF Republi.
can success was the prosperous time and business sat
~isfaction. The country thought 1t wisest to &t
we'll enough alone. Lack Of harmony in New
York, the October election In Indiana and some other
things may have had a little weight Tut the main
thing was business prosperity and a disposition to
let well enough alone. Mr.. English bewailed cor
ruption In party politics as very different from the
state Of things for. years ago when he fret entered
political life.

Including the evidence and argument OF
OF counsel, In the case OF the State rs.
c. A. McClung and ]. Campbell Martin,
charged with the murder Of l.. p. Guftln on
the 9th OF September last, which fills a space
OF nearly fifteen columns OF closely printed
matter. Such enterprise Is rarely exhibited
by a country weekly newspaper. AS our
readers have already been In informed, the de-
PENDANTS were found not guilty.
AS the aw now Is in South Carolina. a
party charged with crime can testify in his
own defense. and rs there was no one present
at the said killing except the two prisoners
and the deceased, the plea Of self-defense was
set up by the testimony Of the defendants,
and the State was not able to rebuff 1t. We
doubt the wisdom OF such q law.

and settle questions Of public concern strictly

ton Of the new manager OF the G. Il q. X. K. In cut
ting of through freight by way Of Charleston North.
The remedy Is simple enough. When this road' was

was granted upon one condition, laid down In the Act
0r the Legislature q, follows:
IAN irrevucatle condition is hereby imposed upon
the said company that 1t shall nni'e It's ruad with the
South Carolina Railroad, with o track Of the same
width. and shall 60 manage their affairs - that trans
~portation Of freight and passengers from one road to
Of any kind whatever"
Under this Act the p~artie, interested have but 10 up.
ply TO the Railroad Commissioner who must take the
proper steps to have the law enforced. The writer OF
this article "knows whereof he speaks" having had
some ex perience In q similar case, with tho same par

1t Was Our Mistake.

Quite a number Of editors and newspaper
correspondents have attempted to assign a
cause for the defeat Of the Democratic party,
and some Of them have even gone SO far as to
lay the blame at the door OF particular persons.
We are disposed to let the party itself shout
der the blame-it seems unfair in us to
charge our chosen leaders with the result.
AS well charge Lee n Jackson with the
failure OF the Confederate arms, as to at
tribute our recent political disaster to the
mistakes of English. Hampton. or any
body else. The main reason that VIC failed is,
that we lacked several thousand votes.
