Pullman car stock is to be increased one
third and the extra stock given to the
holders Of the present issue. This simply
means that the company can make more
than the eight per cent dividends which
they have been declaring and can do so on
so much more capital. The general pub
lie probably is not aware how the Pullman
cars are run. Every road which uses them
is obliged to draw them for nothing and
keep them in repair. The company has
only to build the cars and pay for the
conductor and porter and the care of the
linen and fixtures. The porterS are paid
about $50 and the conductors $40 q
month. The cars are run every day
except when undergoing repairs, and
there are "a berths in EACH which are lie,
for 81 per night. In the best sessions the
cars are full and there is hardly day in
the year when they do not pay expenses

Political Slavery.

Matthew S. Proctor, colored, announces
himself, elsewhere in to,iay's paper, a can
didate tor County Commissioner subject
to the Republican convention. In point
of capacity we think that Mr.. Proctor is
not inferior to some who have occupied
seats in the Board. We are surprised that
colored voters have not earlier taken meas
ures to assert their political rights. They
furnish nineteen tweutieths of the Repub-
lican votes in Charles county, and yet the
white people who rule them have not in
over ten years given one Of their race any
political preferment whatever. This is a
political slavery far more abiect and de-
grading than the physical servi ude OF
which our lately covered white Repub-
licans speak in such sanctlfed detestation.
The lucrative office OF sheriff, which re-
quires very slight educational qualitica-
lions, has been con rolled 10y the so called
Republicans ever since he organization
Of their parry" and yet not single COL
orcd man has ever been named for the po-
stion. We feel sure that there are score
of colored men in the county who are
competent to fill this Office, and if the col
ored race in this county has any self re-
spes at all, they will insist on having the
candidate for that office this fall taken
from among them. The few white men,
who now make up the ring that fills up
the official bonds of the "Republican" of
ficers, would not dare to refuse to sign the
bond of worthy coored man when
elected sheriff, and if they did we feel sure
that such man csud give an accept
