THE GRANT BOOM.

The New York Graphic, which espouses no
political cause or side as such, makes
very candid analysis of the Republican
situation within its own party lines, in
which it takes occasion to say:
General GRANT is very strong before the
country. There can be no question about that
fact. He does not talk about himself or his
prospects to every one he meets, and hence,
if he fails to be regarded rs magnetic he at
the same time avoids making enemies. Gen
eral GRANT Is better known than any other
man in the country. lie is the one Presdcn-
tial candidate who does not require campaign
lives or newspapers to make him known.
This is the mHitum in parUO of the situation.
General GRANT holds place in the popular
heart which has never been reached by any
other American citizen. What has been
called the GRANT boom heretofore has not
been the boom itself. Previous demonstra-
tions have only been the inepressible ooz-
ings of the boom that have broOked restraint
and forced themselves to the surface. The
fountain of the boom has not us yet devel-
| oped its volume and power but it cannot
be restrained much longer. The popular
heart is becoming too full to be controlled,
and when all devices and expedients that
have been invented to mislead the popular
mind into doubts and uncertainties as to
whether or not General GRANT will really
consent to be a candidate shall have been
fully exploded and have passed away, then
the true and untrammeled pulsations of the
popular heart viii be felt and recognized in
full-blown and perfectly developed boom.
The country heretofore has only shared a
premonitory symtom ofthe GRANT boom.

This neither surprises, disappoints MOI
alarms any one. If the Commercial will moi
learn anything by experience--if it has de-
termined to 10 to the bad politically-if il
has no principle, no sense of duty to the
Republican party or to the country, why
then, it should do precisely what it did in
1872, aud what it threatens now 10 do-gc
with the Democrats and be done with it.
We are more astonished at its lack of a
sense of propriety which has induced it to
come into the Republican camp with pur-
pose to odictate as to who shall lead its army
in its next battle than that it should be de-
tected lurking in the camp in search OF
plunder. The first is superlatively impu-
dent; the other is instructive. Why didn't
it keep better faith with the Democrats
than it has with the Republicans and con-
tinued its abiding place with that party
when there?

THE NICE SENSE OF SOUTHERN HONOR

THE NICE SENSE OF SOUTHERN HONOR.
Personal honor has been the theme Of
poets, philosophers and statesmen for CEN
turics, and yet, TO use Il common phrase,
they have failed to get the thing right
down to q spot" SHAKESPEARE uttered
the opinion that "honor is mere
scutcheon," and, therefore, he would
"none of it.n JoNsoN thought that "honors
"a good brooch to wear in mans hat at
"all times" ZIMMERMAN expresses the
idea that "honor with some is sort of
"paper credit, with which men are obliged
" to trade who are deficient in the sterling
"cash of morality and religion" COTTON
expresses the view that honor is unstable,
and seldom the same; for she feeds upon
"opinion, and is as tickle as her food" Dry
DEN declares that
Bnse grovcling souls neer know true houors worth;
But weigh 1t out in mcrcenary scales.
We have been led to bring this question
in brief review by the late utteranccs of
the Charleston Nolcs and Courier, when it felt
called upon recently to discuss circumstan-
TALLY the cases Of Senators KELLOGG and
BUTLER, who had both been assigned to
seats in the Senate under an honorable ar
rangemcnt or compact, which the Democrats
oyince disposition now 10 violate by rob-
bling KELLOGG Of his seat, for the reason
that n changing political tide has thrown
them into position Of temporary power
that enables them to do 50. The Ne,Cs ard
Courier goes over this case in detail and
informs the Senators who are of its own
party that they should not and must not
violate that sense of honor which is in
volyed in the history Of this matter. 1t
abiures them not to follow the lead of
|" Mr.. HILL in this KELLOGG business" for
the simple reason that it leads to Viola
ton Of plighted honor and the principles of
common justice So far all right, and We
were inclined to applaud the keen sense of
honor and justice that prompted the Eeos

more than most of them did. Under the cir.

II is now question which of the two
the Democrats or the anti-third termers
can invent more silly tales or utter the

The Banks and Real Estate.

Mr. O'Connor, Congressman from
Charleston, has introduced into the House
of Representatives a bill authorizing Ma.
tional Banka to lend money on real estate
as collateral security and somo of our ex-
changes, notably the Ne,cs and Courier,
are very profuse in their endorsement of the
bill, which they allege will give long
needed relief to our planters. The position
taken by Mr.. O'Connor, in which he is so
ably aud no zcaously supported, may pos.
soss all the virtues which ho and they claim
for it, but of this VIC have serious doubts.
We arc one of those who think that farmers
should not borrow money at all, or 90 in
debt except for tho purchase of property,
and any temptation held out to them to Gu
ter the arena with the spcculators has, in
our opinion, always dcmorallzing effect,
and is very generally attended with the
most disastrous financial results.
For our own part, we believe the present
I;ca law is g very great draw ba5h 10 the
prosperity of the country. Farming, as a
rule, if properly carried on, is safe and
profitable business in this State, but when
a man ldles away the time w.ich should be
employed 10 sowing oats and wheat, and in
planting coru, and iu consequence, is after
wards compelled to run to town and buy
out of tho stores at exorbitant prices the
very articles which he should produce
on the farm, there is ouly one way of
winding up that mans business.
Tho bill of NIr. Connor viii only make
it easier for the farmer to mortgogo his
farm, and in our opinion thousands of them
will do so in order TO roiso money for spec
ulativc purposes which they might d. with>
out. Under MIR. O'Connor's bill, in few
years the banks will own many of these
farms, and the farmer will be homeless.
Wo fail to see the advantage of Mr.. O'Con-
nor's bill, to the farmer, but consider it of
great advantage to the banks, who will
soon own SO mnah real estate through ;ts
workings. .-AbbcviUc Press ana Baaner.

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

We arc glad to SOC that legislation favor
able to this road has been effected at the
extra session of the General Assembly.
AS to tho practical results that are likely
to be accomplished by this action of tho
Legislature we are unable to speak advsedly,
as we have not been admitted to the secrets
of tho inner temple. But if thore is
nothing moro than is to be seen on the
surface VIC fear that the work is not vet
much advanced. 10 build q road costing
such an immense sum will require moro
money than any half dozen counties can
raise. 1t seoms that no provision has been
made 70 furnish that enterprise with 1o.i.-
wet labor, and without convict labor, it is
next to an impossibltty for people to build
q railroad across tho Blue Ridge and along
the rugged limo as indicated to Knoxville.
If our readers remember, We urged several
years ago the propriety Of putting large
number Of oonvicts to work on tho tunnel.
Ii that had been doue tho great obstacle
now in the way would llnvo been overcome
ere this, and if in addition to what has
been done, tho State had directed tho au-
thorities to put largo number of convicts
to work removing the granite, it would be
only aquestion Of timo as to Thon the greatly
"s'"'" '"o "ou'u oc acooHPishc0. rev
persons seem to appreciate the Importance
and magnitude of this work. If tho Gen
cral Assembly in the December session, had
detailed tho convicts to work op this road
instead of wasting time on rho imaginary
canals and magnificent factories which will
never exist, except on paper, moro salts.
factory results would havo followed Wo
thInk that the welfare of this portion of the
State and tho prosperity of Charleston, are
greatly dependant upon the completion of
this great line to the Western markets.
WhiIe the Legislation is not all that could
be desired, still we are indeed grateful for
this much.-AJ6cvWc Press and Banner.

City yesterday. He reports that he was
driven from his home by moonshiners, and
in the fight was shot in the arm and leg
with buoksbot His disabled condition
had forced him into conceament among

suspected of being a revenue spy, was
called to his door Saturday night and fired
at in the darkness, tho bullet lodging in

of the same village on the same night, Mr..
Clarke. highly respectable citizen, but
accused Of being friendly to the revenue
officers, was fired at through window Of
his dwelling, the ball smashing a lamp on
the table at which he and his vito were
sitting. The latest Of the moonshining
atrocities reported to day was the firing up
on j. L. Cobb in public street in Toccoa
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Cobb has often

THE PAST.
BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.

Who, looking backward from his manhood's
prime,
Sees not the spectre Of his misspcnt timer
And through tho shade
Of funeral Cypress, planted thick behind,
Hears no reproaohful whisper on tho wind
From his loved dead?
Who bears no trace of PASSIONS evil force7
Who shuns the sting, 0 terrible remorse?
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages of his memory's
book,
At times, sad and half reluctant look,
Regretful Of tho past7
Alas! the evil which wo fain would shun
We do, aud leave the wished for good un-
done;
Our strength to-day
Is but to.morrow's weakness, prone to fall;
Poor, blind, improbable servants all
Are We always.
Yet who, thus looking backward o'er his
years.
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears
Ii ho hos been
Permitted, weak and sinful as ho was,
To cheer and aid in some ennobling cause
His fellow man?
If he hath hidden tho outoast, or let in
A ray of sunshine to the cell of sin
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak, and in an hour of
need
Over the suffering, mindless of his creed
Or homo, hath bent.
He hath not lived in vain. And whilo he
gives
The praise to Him, whom he moves and
lives,
With thankful heart
He gazcs backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from his works bo never
moro
Can hcnccforth part.

The Negro Vote.

The Abbcvillc lKcaiuns says: John Il.
Tolbcrt, one of the old Radical leaders in
this county, was in town last week. Ho
thinks that without division in the De-
mocracy it is useless for the Republicans, aa
Republicans, to mako an, fight in this
county or State. IIo says that tho regis
traton scheme will amount to ncthing, and
even if au educational qualification is
tackled on to the suffrage dill, it will not
effect the negro vote; for if the act should
pass, there is not colorcd man in tho
State who would not learn to writo his namo
in time to register; that they would prac-
tico on tho plow handles with pokcbcerics
or write in the sand With stick before
they would give up their citizenship, in
obedience to any Legislative enactment.
IIe thinks that tho Democratic party is
going to the "domnition bow vows" and
is very happy in contemplating its dying
struggles. Having given up tho national
idea, he declares that its dissolution is Only
question of timo. Such talk from Re-
publican who has never renounccd his
allegiance to his party is full Of suggestions
to those in our own rank who affect con
tempt for anything like political opposi-
ton.
