Tho Action Of Charleston.

CHARLESTON, March % "A special com >
mttce OF the Charleston Chamber Of Com
merce appointed some weeks ago to consider
thc question of the Western Ruilroad con-
ncctions, submitted an elaborate preliminary
report to day, showing tho advantages Of
Charleston as a port Of cutry and export
for the Northwestern States with Europe and
with Central aud South America md West
Indies. The report further shows the
advantage to be derived from tho develop
mcnt Of American trade with South America
and West Indies, aud claims that Charleston
is most favoraby situated for such trade,
the distance being less than by North. r.
ports, and tho voyage less pcri:ous. 1t IL
claimed also that Charleston has a great
advantage in tho matter Of European trade
over gulf ports, the average run bcing ten
days less from Charleston than from New
Orleans. Much stress is laid in the repor,
upon the necessity for an addisionul line OF
railroad conncctus tho Northwestern rail
road system with tho South Atlantic. and it
is claimed that this line must run East Of
Chattanooga and find its terminus at
Charleston. The report shows also tn"
condition Of the principal Blue Ridge
route, and exhibits the condition of the
trade of Charleston. The report will b.
printed immediately and distributed over
the country. Maps will also be prepared
and distributed by the Chamber Of Comu cree
showing the positions and railroad conneo>
tious of Charleston; the relations of The
port to South America and the Indies; the
depkts of water on the bnr: the lino of tn.

istiug for the transaction of business:

The blue Ridge Railroad.

The Charleston News and Courier is not
by any means sure that the Air Limo Rail
road has occurred the Tennessee end of the
Blue Ridge Railroad connection. That
paper further says:
1t is certainly high time that something
was done to make the South Carolina SEQ
tion of the Blue Ridge Railroad available
as part of great Western line. The
people in the up country think, with some
rea0op, that Charleston is not aroused to the
Importance Of this matter, and are surprised
that 80 little has beon douo TO foroo the
Blue Ridge route upon the attertion of
capitalists. Charleaton has not tho millions
Of money needed for tho construction of
Interstate railroad. Bnt in this respect
Charleston is no worse off thau cities which
have secured or expected to obtain perma-
nent aud profitable railroad connections.
1t is not Savannah's capital that gives the
Central Railroad it's power. Nor is it
AtIanta's capital which mnkos the Cato
City 80 prominent as rsiroad centre.
Charlotte contributes 90 capital to her lines.
Norfolk does nothing iu the way Of capital
to aid her railroud system. Richmond,
which is looking now to the completion of
the Allegheny Valley Railroad, will not bo
oalled upon to spend her own means, as
Northern capital and Northern men will do
the work, Charleston need not be dis.
couragod with suoh examples before her.
Tho oities we have named have whet, in
these days, is more important than money.
They have hopef 'ness, energy, lborality
and progressive cas-. They do not uso q
tallow candle or /. kerosene lamp when ap
electric light is available They ore thor
oughly abreass Of the times, and having u
strong natural position have been able to
get from the North the money they cannot
command at home. Teus OF millions of
dollars are looking for profitable investment
They will come to the South, aua they will
come to South Carolina, if the people here
will seek thcm iu tho righ. way. 1t is
worse than useless. how ever, to suppnsc
that Northern capitalists will help those
who do not attempt to help themselves.

Our Danger and Our Duty.

We publish this week the proceedings of
the County Republican Convention, held at
Walhalla on the 9th ul,imo. Tho tons Of
tho meeting showed disposition to organize
the party anew and press for success Mt the
coming election. This is Presidential year
aud of course every effort will be made to
carry the State for the Republican candidate.
To accomplish this the party may put in tho
6eld q full State ticket as we'll as county
tickets, as such 3 course would add strength
to the party. Besides the greatest effort will
bo made to carry few CLOSE Sonthorn
Statos and emineit speakers, may, with thia
view, canvass this State. II may be that
many Of the leading lights Of the party have
left the State, still enough are left to give us
CLOSE race, unless we exert ourselves. This
has always been party of thorough and
complete organization and votes at elections
for the nominees. With this fact before US
we canuot afford to be caught sleeping.
What is our present condition. Arc we
organized and united as in 1876, or did not
the failure to have opposition IN 1873 scatter
and disorganize' our people2 1t may DO tho
middle and lower counties have kept W
their clubs. but here. we think, much work
must DO done to give us the unity of 1876.
Besides, the passage Of fonce laws has
greatly divided our people, thero being 10
many sections divisions and dissatisfaction
AZ esr as possible this must be remcdied,
thous,, we is not advocate any active com-
pagn until after crops are finished Wo
hope. however, to SEQ oG: entire Executive
Committee in attendance on saleday, that
such action may bo taken. looking !" the
call Of County Convention to select dele
gates to the State Convention US may be
deemed necessary. The County Convention
will probably be cal led early in May.

Good Health.

No temporal blessing is equal in value TO good
health. Without it money. good living and
other physical comforts nre mockeries. II can.
not be bought or sold, but by proper attention TO
dress and policing il can bc preserved. Once
lost it is difficult to restore and few fully and
truly appreciate these facts. 1t is strange how
little we value in possession and enjoyment
many things which. when lost, wo would give
oil we possess TO regain
Our readers will remember how much va.
said last summer about the health Of our town
and how seriously it affected our interests as
summer resort, driving away visitors aud money.
The past winter llno been unusually mild and
p:omotVe Of esckness, though us yet ,Hc have
ample time 10 remove I'll tendencies 10 rcyrrs
and local diseases by proper policing. In The
early part Of the year VIC chilled attention to The
ilnpo,tunce of this matter and promised 10 say
more about it, New is the time To begin a
thorough system Of policing, before Tho hot sun
aid rains acling on sagnant ponds and decayng
matter starts disease. Our own health should
prompt attention 10 this subject, apart from
preserving our prestige rs one Of the cheapest
aud hcalthiest resorts for visitors. We have the
climate, tho pure water and tho mountain
scenery in such plenilude and variety ns to
enable MS to annually increase tho influx Of
persons seeking health. Nature has done for
'is all that we could ask and II remains for us TO
do curpart. Tho hcalthiest localities may be-
come sickly Ly not properly observing the rules
Of health, and our readers know that in the
army, wherever it might camp, tho frst and
lat duty enforced vas thorough policing We
do not know that there is any present need Of
policing in our town, but it is q matter which
should be looked after every week and all
causes likely to breed disease be promptly re-
moved Our town authorities have charge of its
interests in all matters pertaining 10 tho pre-
servation Of good order und health and to them
we look to zee after this matter.

Tho Errors

And bungling of our last Legislature has no
parallel in the past history Of South Carolina.
We do not know whore the fault lies, but no ono
can deny its existence and hurtful influence.
llurrying to adjourn before the holidays, they
lc;; with their most important work unfinished.
This necessi;ated their rcasscmbling and tic
work of the extra session has proved still more
DISASTROUS to our people.
In trying at an extra session to change the
time OF holding our courts they pass bill Oh
the 2Cth of February, which must have defeated
our courts in some counties, even if known ut
once, but being unpublished for some time
judges and lawyers were deceived and our cx-
pcnsive court is held TO be no court. What
need to DO etcrnaily tampering with the courts
and the mode of drawing juries? We have held
court of two weeks at which seven persons
were triea for their lives, the cost of one case
being TO the county over one thousand dollars,
and now the court rs to these trials and all
evil judgments is believed 10 be illegal and
void.
AT Pickens no jury trials could DO had either
in civil or criminal cases, while q number of
persons arc there held in Jail at tho expense of
the county.
If tho body had confined itself TO the business
for which it was called together, passed reg
isration law and law prohibiting the carrying
Of concealed weapons, and then adjourned, its
lcion would hayo met the general appreciation
OF tho country. AS tho matter stands all is
confusion, and whether criminals cnn be re. tried
or not certainly oil civil business transacted
Graounts to n nullty.
For above ten years there has been constant
tampering with tho law regulating tho holding
OF courts and drawing of jurlcs We trust this
kind of Legislation will now stop and that our
next Legislature will repeal all such laws and
incorporate tho whole matter Of holding courts
in ono Act and the jury law in ono Act. Surely
in len years our people all over the State should
by this time know what period tho holding Of
courts will suit them. They should also know
rs. forty lawyers can hardly work out the jury
.a'7 which should be simple and permanent.

and oleomarcarine, largo majority saying
that they judged by tho favor, looks and

as the butter, but were fually convinced OF
their error by Mr., Renncy. announcing
which was butter.
This is highly satisfactory no doubt, es-

We admire the diplomacy of putting Con
