Immigration and its executive officer
at Castle Garden, all contribute to
state Of affairs on which the govern
nett and people OF that State may
he congratulated.

encouraged by Ter successes In pro-

meeting in Anderson on the first and

misunderstanding had arisen between
the contractors and the chief engl-

was settled at this meeting. The
contractors surrendered their con-
tract and the company resolved to
take direct control Of the work Of
grading, under the immediate super
vision Of the chiof engineer. Sew
eral small contracts were let on most
favorable terms, and the board are
satisfied they will be able to complete
the whole road Just as cheaply as
the original contract called for. The
prospects Of the road are very bright,
especially since the sale Of the South
Carolina Railroad, for there is no
doubt that favorable arrangements
vii! be made with the new owners Of
the latter by which the Savannah
Valley Road will be speedily COM
pleted. And it IS certainly impor-
tant that this road should be built,
for Anderson is looming up into an
important freight point. Twenty

FAILURE OF PROHIBITION In
NORTH CAROLINA.

The question of prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquors in
North CaroliLa was voted upon by
the people generally Of that State
last week, and the measure was voted
down by majority Of from fifty to
sixty thousand. There are many rea
sons to account for this failure Of pro
hibition in our sister State. Many
Democrats fear its political influence
against the party in power, though
the present issue seems to he nonPo-
litical. Besides this, there is wide
difference Of opinion everywhere as
to the policy Of such law among the
clergy and the laity, among the tenn
rerance men and the drinkers. Some
think such a law impracticable; 9th
ers think it nnwise: while others,
still think ii unconstitutional. Not a

In our own State the question is
