AN INTERESTING FILE for Republicans to
gnaw on will be found in an interview with
Col. Bob Harlan, of Cincinnati, published in
another column Of THE CRITIC to-day.
Col. Bob was on the Republican ticket for
the Legislature in Hamilton County. All
the other candidates received majorities
ranging from LOO to 3,0OO but he was de-
feated. From this it would seem that the
ofiice-holding paradise of the colored man
lies further South. To the Northern Re.
publican the colored man is about the same
as Divine Providence--recognized in the
Constitution, but otherwise ignored.

Rail- Road Talk.

The past two weeks has been full
of railroad rumors and speculations.
The Virginia Midland, which vas
left out in the cold in the Clyde
combination, is straggling.to keep
out of the grasp of this mammoth
combination. From Danville this
road has no outlet South except
over the Piedmont Air Line, and it
is now seeking the most feasible
route for extending its Southern
connections so as to reach the"sea-
coast. A railroad meeting was held
at StatesVille, N. c., the goth ulti-
mo; representatives we're present
from Spartanburg, Greenville, Lau
rens, Union and Anderson in this
State, and from several points in
North Carolina. From this meet
ing delegates were sent to Winston,
n. c., to meet and consult with the
directors of the Virginia Midland.
The directors have decided to ex-
tend the road to Winston, N. G. ;
but the route beyond that point
has not been decided on. There
are several rival routes; the princi,
pal ones being, 1st, by way OF
Union, Newberry and Edgefeld to
Augusta; End, by way Of Spartan
burg and Laurens to Greenwood,
thence by the Greenwood & Angus
ia Road to Augusta Sd, to Green
vile direct. The first route is the
most direct, it being almost an all
line. Newberry and Edgefeld.
however, seem to be taking no in
terest in the negotiations. Union
is represented by VIM. Munro and
David johnson, Jr.

Gen. John S. Preston died at his
home in Columbia, the 1st instant,
at the age of seventy-two years.
Gen. Preston was native of Vir,
ginia, and came to this State in
early manhood. Before the war he
was one of the wealthiest men in
the South. Though a prominent
man, and a very fine orator, being
scarcely inferior in this respect to
his famous brother, W. G. Preston,
the only political position he ever
held was thai OF State Senator from
Richland County, which position he
held for several years. During the
war he was chief of the Conscript
Bureau at Richmond. For several
years past he has been President OF
the Central National Bank of Col
umbis.

News and Courier.

AUGUSTA, April 2S.-Mr. Barbour,
president Of the Virginia Midland
Railroad, will reach Augusta to-mor-
row or Saturday. 1t is surmised that
he comes on important business co.,
neeted with the proposed Baltimore
and Ohio combination, which will form
rival line to the Clyde Syndicate
system. 1t is known that the Balti.
more and Ohio are very anxious to
obtain such line.
The plan proposed is for line from
Danville connecting with the Virginia
Midland to Spartanburg, thence to
Greenwood and via the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad to Augusta. There
is also to be line from Spartauourg
to Atlanta by way of Athens. 1t is
proposed that these roads shall be
bonded at the rate of $4,000 a mile,
and, it is said, that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad will take 100000 Of
the bonds if the arrangement is made.
2hs annual meeting of the Augusta
and K6oSxiIle Railroad will be held
next Wed1esd@y' jsss@ss':sooable
that something important will be de-
veloped at that meeting. Railroad
stocks are very quiet to-day.
