effort he has put himself in communica-
ton with many representative men in
the United States and Europe, and is
confident of ultimate success.
With these results before them, the
Board of Agriculture should at once
select an active, efficient and popular
citizen of this State, in whom all of our
people have confidence, as an Immigra.

upon the great work.of giving to South
Carolina such an addition to the energy
and intelligent labor Of the country as
will promote both our material and po-
litical advancement. Intelligent immi-
grafton is the surest and most permanent
deliverance that the South can obtain,
and no reasonable effort should be spared
to secure it. The Legislature has dealt
literally with the immigration question,
and now the Agricultural Department
should use the means at its command to
push forward the good work as rapidly
as possible.

IMMIGRATION.

The work of immigration to South
Carolina is being successfully pushed
forward by The Agricultural Department
of this State. Col. A. P. Butler, the
Commissioners of Agriculture, who is
temporarily in charge of the matter, has
introduced and settled in different parts
Of South Carolina over one hundred Ger
man families since the first of January,
and is continuing the work in most
successful and promising manner. The
various railroads have made very low
rates Of transportation, and are thereby
very greatly assisting the good work.
The Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line, the
Columbia & Greenville, the Wilmington,
Columbia & Augusta, the Northeastern,
and the Cberaw & Darlington railroads
have agreed to bring immigrants to
Columbia from New York for $14t76,
from Philadelphia for slS.2l, and from
Baltimore for sl1.48. These are all land
routes. The South Carolina Road will
bring hem by water to Charleston and
by rail to Columbia or Augusta from
New York for $40. In addition to i'm
migrant laborers, Col. Butler is seeking
to induce capitalists to come into our

Laurens Railroad came off on last Satur-
day, and resulted in very small major

PART OF THE PURCHASE MONEY.

The Republican Senatorial caucus has
nominated the following officers for the
Senate: For Secretary, George G. Cor
ham, of California, who filled the posi-.
ton from 1863 until the Republicans lost
control of the Senate. For Sergeant-at-
Arms, Henry Riddelberger, warm per-
sonal and political friend of Senator
Malone. He was Colonel in the Con-
federate army, and is now editor of q
Readjuster paper, published at Wood
stock, Va, and is member of the Leg
islature of that State, and the author of
the celebrated bill to readjust the debt
of that State by repudiating one-third of
the principal and reducing the interest.
Thus the Republicans, after combining
with Malone, have officially as party
endorsed forced readjustmeut and repu-
diation of State debts. It. was part of
the consideration for Mahone's treachery.

ciate its force it is only necessary to
ascertain the increased valuation and
look at the amount it cost the country.
The increased valuation is nearly two
and half millions of dollars, and this
was secured at cost of three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars of aubscrip-
tions; or, in other words, the Investment
of this sum by the County has brought
in seven dollars of new capital for every
one subscribed. This, of course, will
continue permanent capital, and induce
the introduction of quantities of addi-
tional capital in the future. These fig.
ures show the value of railroads, and
should go long way to satisfy our peo-
Pile with the subscription they have made
to the Savannah Valley Railroad. When
it is completed the benefits that will flow
to the County from it will more than re-
pay the subscriptions to it.

Senator Brown, of Georgia, recognizes
the fact that the Democratic party has
become badly hacked by having been so
often defeated until now it actually Is
ready to give up to anything that is pro-
posed by the Republicans, and with that
good judgment which always character
ICES his actions, has come to the conclu-
sion that it is necessary, in the military
expression of the idea, to improve the
morale of the party by achieving some
victory, however slight, in pitched and
determined fight. He argues that twill
encourage the party, both in and out OF
the Senate, if they can balk the Repub-
lican plan, and bring them to recogni-
ton that the Democracy is a strong and
vigorous organization. he is the cham
picn of the present fight in the Senate,
and if the party will stand solidly up to
him, the Republicans will find it no
child's play to obtain possession Of the
Offices of the Senate before the regular
session begins.

THE BENEFITS OF RAILROADS.

The Hon. Gabriel Cannon, of Spartan.
burg, in letter to the Laurensville
Herald, upon the advantages flowing to a
country from the possession Of railroads,
shows that in 1872 the real and personal
property of Laurens was s3,72s,7aO, and
that OF spartauburg 50, 400, $50, an excess
in favor of Laurens of s320,107. In
1880 Spartanburg had $5,734,320, and in
1879 Laurens had s2,725,734. In other
words, Spartanburg gained in eight years
S2,a24,76o, and Laurens lost 81 ,OO3, ,sse.
OF Spartanburg's gain s92o,0o0 is on her
80 miles of railroad. This letter was
written in advocacy of building, by tax
alton, railroad from Laurens to Spar
tanburg, and is strong argument, it
must be admitted. In order to appre.

Senator Logan thought he was making
a good point, the other day, upon the
Democrats in the Senate when he quoted
from the speech of Senator Salisbury,
two years ago, advising the Republican
minority to submit gracefully to the in
evitable loss of the Senate officers, and
commended that advice to the Democrats
now. but Senator Butler retorted very
akilfully by reading Senator Anthony's
speech at the same time, in which he de-
clared that he did not think he would
ever be found trying to turn out faithful
officers because of political differences OF
opinion. Senator Butler commended
these sentiments to the Republicans now.
This put the Democrats even with the
Republicans, and then new start was
taken in the fight.

The Boston Herald publishes a table
showing that eleven Fall River mills,
which it names, paid in the year 1880
average dividends amounting to 10 per
cent. per annum. The highest rate OF
dividend was 40 per cent, and the lowest
II per cent Stocks in these properties
worth par of 100 are quoted at 40, It's
and 185. Our people would do we'll to
keep these profits in the South. In fact,
if our capital would go freely into man.
ufacturing our profits could be made
greater than those of the Northern mills.
Anderson is progressing so substantially
in other directions, that we might well
consider the subject of erecting a mann
moth factory here. We know e1pe-
rienced and thoroughly reliable business
men who could be induced to undertake
the management. Who will begin the
work Of raising the necessary funds?

NORTHERN HYPOCRISY.

The North is very quick to recognize
any act of lawlessness in the South, and
throw up its hands in the most self
righteous manner conceivable in pretend
ed horror over our alleged desperate and
vicious deeds, but when an act of genuine
defiance of Law occurs in one of the
"truly loyar' States Of the North, whose
civilization in their own opinion ie abso-
lutte perfection, it is very obscurely and
mildly mentioned as though of no i'm
portance. For instance, short para
graph announces an occurrence in Mich
igan, which, if happening in South Car
olina, would require about six columns
per day for a whole week in every Re-
publican paper fully to depict the dan.
gerous and violent character of the
Southern rebels. The whole thing is
summed up in these few lines:
DETROIT, March 26.-Trouble has
broken out in Presque Isle County, in
this State, among large settlement of
Poles. The Sheriff undertook to arrest
ten men for threatening to burn mans
house and kill him. The Sheriff was
attacked by mob of two or three hun.
dred and driven from the place. The
mob then attacked and destroyed the
house of the man who complained, and
drove his wife, with baby of fourteen
months old, out into the snow. The
Sheriff appealed to the Governor, who
has telegraphed to use every available
man in the county to suppress the in
cipient rebellion.
There are no flaming headlines an-
nouncing an impending danger to the
Nation, and no lengthy editorials portray
its fearful political depravity. The truth
is that there is more violence, crime and
lawlessness in the North than in the
South, but by concealing their own short
comings and magnifying the more trivial
occurrences at the South, the Republican
press has led the people of the North to
the belief that they are puritans indeed,
while we are but miserable sinners.

AN IMPIOUs EXTREME.

The temperance enthusiasm in Kansas
has eliminated in the passage Of total
abstinence act, which has oyerstepped
the bounds of Christianity, and is better
calculated to delight the followers of
Robert Ingersoll than those of the Holy
Saviour. In the name of morality they
have perpetrated a glaring impiety in
that, among other things, the Act pro-
hibits the. use of wine in the Sacrament,
and Furnishes the minister who admins
ters it with two years. imprisonment in
the penitentiary, and shuts up the church
as public nuisance. All of this is done
in the cause of temperance, and illus
trates the unholy extremes to which the
enthusiasm of men in good cause may
carry them. The Law, ,.of course, cannot
be enforced, for the religious sentiments
of the people cannot permit such an in
reference with one of the chief ordi-
nances of revealed religion. The Rev.
DR.. Beatty, rector Of the Episcopal
Church at Lawrence, announced his de-
termination to continue the ordinance in
his Church, and said: eve are willing
to render unto Caesar the things which
are cesar's, but We will still give to God
the things that are His. I say, as did
Peter, Judge ye whether we should obey
men rather than God Of one thing
you may be assured, we shall never re-
cognize for moment the attempts of
human legislation to destroy the great
Sacrament of the Christian Church" /"
The other ministers of the State will
doubtless follow. this worthy example,
and teach the reformers of that State
that the laws of God cannot be set at
defiance, even in so good cause as that
of temperance. The probability, how
ever. is that reaction will set in which
will cut down the whole law, and thus
destroy the benefits which might have
been secured by a judicious enactment
upon the subject.

Rumor states that Col. VIM. Johnston,
of Charlotte, N. c., is to be made presi-
dent of the Cheraw & Chester and of the
Chester & Lenoir Railroads, with view
of consolidating the two roads and ex.
tending them from Lincolnton, N. c., by
way of Yorkville, Chester, Lancaster and
Cheraw to Florence, thus giving to
Charleston an additional valuable rail-
road line into North Carolina, and afford
ing another route for Western freights
over the Air Line to reach that city. 1t
is thought the road can easily be COM
pleted, and if so it will become paying

The fight between the President and
Senator Conkling bids fair to begin at
once, and if it does the Democrats will
net wisely in playing from side to side
with that skill and uncertainty which
will widen the breech and deepen the
conflict. They will hold the balance Of
power, and can make both sides treat
them with consideration. If good,
lively political battle occurs in the party,
there will be very little time for inter.
fsring with the South, and we may expect
the uttermost consideration from both.
For these reasons we shall be glad to see
the New York Senator begin the war
dance at an early day.

Malone gave the Senate four hours
speech on last Monday upon Virginia
politics and Mahoneism generally. At
its conclusion he was warmly congratu-
lated by Conkling, Sherman, Dawes and
other Republicans, whom We presume he
had converted to the doctrines of forced
readjustment and partial population.
He was very severe on Senators Brown,
Johnston, Hill and VOORHEES,, and was
frequently applauded by the Republi-
cans. II is not thought, however, that
his effort has helped either himself or
the Republican party before the people
of the United States or of the State OF
Virginia.

The Way to the Northwest.
From, the Spartan6urg Herald.

The sale of the Spartanburg and Ashe-
vile Railroad, on the first Monday in
April, offers fine opportunity for capi-
talists to secure link in what will be,
at no distant day, one of the most impor-
tant railroad lines in this country-the
shortest line. from the Northwest
to the Atlantic coast. From some ru-
mors in circulation the railroad mag
mates seem to be on the alert, and we
may expect there will be lively bidding
at the sale. It is surmised that the fol-
lowing important railroad and steamship
companies will have representatives here
on the occasion:
The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Road.
The Atlanta and Charlotte Airline
Railroad.
The Clyde Line Steamship Company,
the present owners of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad and
of tho Columbia and Greenville Rail-
road.
The bondholders (the future owners) Of
the South Carolina Railroad.
1uo UOuuuOlucIo VI VIC CPot 9nuUai
and Asheville Railroad.
The spartanburg, Union and Columbia
Railroad.
1t has been suggested with some plau.
sibility that Syndicate be formed by
capitalists from Spartanburg, Union,
Henderson and Buncombe Counties to
look after the interests. of the county sub.
scriptions of said counties. We hope
that sufficient interest may be stirred up
in the matter to make the Asheville Road
sell for enough to pay back at least q
portion of the county subscriptions made
by said counties.
The grading done on said road, accord
ing to estimate of Thad. Coleman, en-
gineer of the company, cost S5lO 900, and
the track $250,00O. The total cost OF
road was over 100000, and owing to its
important connections is worth every
dollar of its original cost. Railroad
men and capitalists seldom have a better
opportunity for handsome speculation
offered them,

The President gave Conklinl q very
severe little discipline the other day by
nominating his political enemy, Judge
Robertson, for Collector of the port Of
New York. The Lordly Roscoe is brist-

JUDGE RoBERTsoN's APPOINTMENT.
The New York Commercial Advertiser,
a Republican paper, speaking of the New
York nominations, says:
ut will be regarded by every friend Of
Senator Conkling, and by the public
generally, as a direct snub and insult to
the New York senator. In view of the
fact that President Garfield invited Sena-
tor Conkling to visit Mentor to talk over
the situation, and led the senator to be.
lieve that he would be advised and con-
suited in regard to New York mat.
ters, the action of yesterday must be con-
strued as violating good faith and as open
defiance of the senator and his friends.
This is the construction the outside
world puts on the nomination of Judge
Robertson for collector of the port of New
York. The selection, the outside world
will also say, is not President Garfeld's,
but the personal nomination of Mr..
Blaine. It was not wise nomination to
maks, in view of all that has occurred
during the past year. Otherwise, no bet
ter appointment could be made than Mr..
Robertson's. No man is better fitted for
the place. No man is more entitled to it
by long services to the party. The
course which Mr.. Blaine has misled
President Garfield into following it
is his programme, and all recognize his
hand in its certain to lead to mis-
chief, heart -burnings and divisions.
