IN STATUE QUO.

Although for more than week letter
writer's from Washington have filled the
daily papers with assurances than ar
rangements would be made by the Dem
ocrats and Republican Senators by
which the Senate would proceed to the
business for which it was convened, the
deadlock still continues. It's now evi-
dent that Malone cannot obtain the
consideration for which he cast his vote
with the Republicans in the organiza-
ton of the Senate, and it is more than
probable that an arrangement can be
made by which all nominations not oIjec-
ted to will be considered, and the Sanate
in short time adjourned. Poor Ma
hone!

"A special from Clinton, Iowa, says
that the night express westward on the
Rock Island division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, was
thrown into the Illinois River at Mere
dosia, at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, by
the giving way of the trestle work. Two
cars noated off down the stream, one
passenger coach lodged against an Island
about four rods away, and the baggage
car struck in the middle of the stream
about the same distance away. Only the
roofs of the two cars are now in sight.
The engineer and fireman and six pas
sengers we're drowned, and number of
others were injured. The river is per-
feet torrent where the trestle went out.
1t is said that freight train passed over
the bridge an hour or so before the pas
senger train. Twenty boats are at work
in the pouring rain searching for bodies
and picking up luggage. All the bodies
are believed, however, to be washed out.
The shore at the scene of the accident,
and for eight miles below, is lined with
people looking for fragments of the
wreck.
- The Williamsburg Herald says
"On last Saturday three young men, on
their way to Presbytery, met crowd of
men at Anderson Bridge, ON Lynch's
Greek, having in charge a colored man
suspected of breaking into a house and
stealing therefrom. The crowd-more
for amusement than anything else-elec
ted one of the young men from Indian
town as judge, and, after fair trial, the
negro was convicted, and the judge SEN
fenced him to be swung up little ways
in order to make him confess. The negro
went over to Scranton to Trial Justice
Hudson and took out warrant for three
of the party"

DEATH OF HON. NJ. P. o,coNsoR.

The Hon. NJ. P. O'Connor, Represen-
itative in Congress from the Second Con-
gressioaal District, died in Charleston on
Monday last. Mr.. O'Connor. was born
in Beaufort, S. G., in 1881, was gradu-
;ated at st. Johns College, N. Y, in
1s49, and settled in Charleston in 1850
when: he commenced the study ofthe law.
In 1858 he was elected a member of the
Legislature, and from that time until
his death, with the exception of a few
years, just after the war, accepted high
and important political Offices. The
State and especially his Congressional
District, will miss his prudent counsel
and that universal popularity which
secured him seat in Congress. The
deathiof such a man asnMr. O'Conner is
at all times public loss, but at such
times as the present it is public calami-
ty.

following statement of the condition of
the State finances up to March 81, 1881,
the date of his last report: Cash balance
in the treasury November II, 1880, $500
59497; balance in the treasury March
81, 1881, $780, ,O3O.92. This shows that
the receipts during this time have been
1888 ,435.96 in excess of the disburse-
ments. Two hundred thousand dollars
in bonds have been called in half for
February l, 1881, and the other half
April l, 1881. The amount of interest
paid since November 18th last is $685.

THE EXTENSION OF THE VIRGINIA
MIDLAND RAILROAD.

The railroad syndicates formed in the
s Southern States for the last few years
have for their object the procurement of
Z the Southern trade for the City of New
York, and the combinations formed tend
! to that result, at the loss of trade by all
the commercial cities soath of that point,
land from which Baltimore especially
suffers. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, acting in union with the City of
Baltimore aud the Virginia Midland
Railroad, propose to afford to the South
equal facilities for trade with Baltimore
to those of New York, by an extension Of
the Virginia Midland Railroad from
Danville, by the way of Statesville
or Mooresyille through North Carolina
into South Carolina. The objective
Southern point seems undetermined. 1t
IS conceded that Spartanburg will be one
ofthe points reached, but whether it will
from there take the direction Of Augusta
or Atlanta is uncertain, and remains a
matter for future consideration. Ander-
son, Greenvil!e and Spartanburg are
greatly excited on the subject, and each
ofthem have appointed delegations to a
meeting of the Directors in North Caro-
lima, and to proceed to Baltimore to
present to the President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad and the committee of
the citizens of Baltimore the advantages
-of route through their respective towns.
The Town Council and Board of Trade
of Anderson appointed Gen. W. W.
Humphreys, Capt. P. z. McCully Maj.
b. F. Whitner, Hon. B. F. Crayton
and Maj. E. B. Murray their delegates,
who left on last Monday for North Caro-
lima and Baltimore. Other delegations
had visited Baltimore, and we have not
yet received any intelligence from the
visit of our delegation. But such are
the palpable advantages to be derived
: from making Atlanta the Southern ter
minus, there can be little doubt that it
will be adopted; and if SO, there is not
only prospect but almost certainty
that it will come by Anderson. The To-
cation Of the Air Line Road is such that
itieaves a large section of country with
out the necessary Northern and Southern
outlets, and another company will hardly
be blind to the benefits to be derived
from securing this trade. A road prop
erly located from Statesville or Moores-
vile to Atlanta will be from rs to 100
miles shorter than any other road, and
possessed of so many advantages over ell
roads, that it would secure the great
Northern aud Southern trade, as well as
the trade along the line, with tnat de-
rived from the many feeders extending
from the mountains to the sea.shore, aud
at the same time precludes the building
of another road parallel through the
States of North and South Carolina and
Georgia. Our people are deeply inter-
es.ed in this matter, and when the time
comes will do their whole duty.

But to meet the argument fully, it is
justified upon principles fundamental to
all social and governmental organizations.
In entering into society every individual
surrenders certain of his natural rights
such as the yindication of his wrongs,
the protection of life and property-in
consideration that society will insure to
him the peaceable enjoyment of his un-
surrendered rights, and indemnity for all
wrongs done to him. One right surren-
dered is the privilege of doing anything,
though personally beneficial, or pursuing
any occupation the natural or probable
result of which are, or are likely to be,
injurious to other members of society
and the right to sell liquor must be class
ed with this, for our friend says in the
latter portion of his article that the
liquor. seller is the cause of ''innumerable
miseries," and that it is "a calling which
is. yearly filling hell with thousands Of
victims" 1t is justified further by virtue
of the general police power of the State
or government. Jeremy Bentham gives
this definition of that power: "Police
is, in general, a system of precaution,
either for the prevention of crimes or Of
calamitics." "This police power of the
State" says an eminent Judge, extends
to the protection of the lives, limbs,
health, comfort and quiet of all persons,
and by it persons and property are subjec-
ted to all kinds of restraints and burdens,
in order to secure the general comfort,
health and prosperity of the State"
Judge Story, in speaking of Prohibitory
Laws, says: "They are looked upon as
police regulations, established by the
Legislature for the prevention of intem-
perance, pauperism and crime, and for
the abatement of nuisances. AS exam
Piles, tearing down dams to protect pub
lie health, tearing down houses to per-
vent spread of fire, or the ravages of
pestilence," &c. Here the individual is
in no degree in fault, but his interest
must yield to that necessity" which
"knows no law" Upon similar grounds
the Supreme Court of the United States
has decided the Prohibitory Laws consti
tutional. Hence the conclusion is ire
sistible that if the public good, peace
and safety of the people demand the
suppression Of the Liquor Traffic, that
its prohibition comes clearly within the
scope of the authority of civil govern
ment, and that the rights which the
ownership of property usually confer
upon person cannot be interposed by
him and defeat the interests of the State,

The Baltimore american, in its account
of the Baltimore and Ohio scheme for
attracting to Baltimore the business of
the Carolinas and Georgia, says:
The projectors of the scheme do not
propose to content themselves with mere
through line 10 Charlotte or Spartanburg,
but intend, if possible, to create system
of roads which will drain the Carolinas,
Georgia and parts of Tennessee, and
place the Baltimore on new footing as
a market for Southern products.

Gen. singleton's Fish Story.

Here is story Gen. Singleton tells to a
Chicago reporter on Hester Clymer, with
whom he recently paid visit to st. Paul:
"Gen Frost, Hester Clymer: of Penn
sylvania, and l, started up the river to go
a-tishing. Just as the boat was landing
at Winona, Minnesota, Clymer's hat blew
off into the river, and we couldn't get it
again, as it was too dark to see where it
was. In the morning we came down to
the boat, and there we saw, in the river,
Clymer's hat. 1t was one of them straw
hats with large holes or ventilators in the
crown We went to work and got the
hat, and inside it were seven nice min
nows, the first we had seen during our
trip. Clymer got out his tackle, and be-
fore the boat got up steam to start, he
had caught nineteen pounds of black
bass, and had two of the minnows left.

Col. TayiOr'S Tersion.

The Col. Taylor referred to in the
above is the present efficient State libra
rian of Minnesota Thinking that per-
haps the colonel might desire to either
affirm or deny the truthfulness of the as
sertions made, a GLOBE reporter called
at his Office and submit
ted the correspondence for
his perusal. The colonel read the article
carefully, and then tried to dodge an ex-
preston either way, upon the ground
that having helped fight the battle of
Pittsburg Landing, he did not want to
have anything to do now with the news
paper fight in progress in reference to it.
The reporter pressing him, the colonel
relented so far to say that while there
were some truths stated, the CORES
pendent had coupled events occurring
at different times TO make up
O. basis for his conclusions, to
which he had added a good many state
ments evidently manufactured for the
occasion The visit to Gen. Meeks' place
so particularly described Col. Taylor says
was made, not on April 4, but week or
ten days previous The expedition num-
bered fifty wagons instead of five, and
was to get the cotton on the place. hefur-
nishing a cavalry escort. While on the
place it was Gen Meeks that was at
home. The officer making the cotton
seizure declined to take Gen. Meeks
into custody, whereupon Col Taylor ar
rested him and took him back to camp,
when his release was ordered by Gen.
Grant The expedition that day did not
go beyond Gen. Meeks' place, saw no
rebels, and consequently were not am
pushed, or anything of the kind.
On Friday, April 4, however, de-
tachment of his command under Major
Kicker, did make reconnaissance on the
Corinth road, when skirmish enSued,
confouRded by the correspondent with the
time of the visit to Gen.
Meeks' place, Major Kicker routing
the enemy and capturing ten
prisoners. That night after the recon
noitering party had returned, Col. Tay-
lor went up to Gen Sherman s headquar-
tiers to see his son on the generals staff,
who had been suddenly taken quite Ill.
Returning from visiting his son, and as
passing the generals tent, he was hailed
by the general to know If he had any
news. Col Taylor replied in effect:
"Well, nothing more than l think the
rebels intend to attack us along our front
in the morning"
"What makes you think so?'' asked
Gen Sherman
Because the ten prisoners captured by
Major Kicker and refugees coming into
our lines all so state"
"Wen, now, colonel said the general,
edo you really think Beauregard is -
fool enouph IN leave his base and attack
us in our chosen position?"
81 don't know about that, said the
colonel, ''but the prisoners and refugees
so report."s
"Well, don't believe it, said the gene

raj. ''But have your regiment ready in
force in the morning and | will accom-
pany it on reconnaissance and find out
where the rebels are" -
"This,' SAID the colonel, sis the only
conversation | had with {General
Sherman, with reference to the rebel
position previous to the battle. The re-
port, and the circumstances as given by
the correspondent never took place,
nor the ambuscade, and many other things
he states. The attack was made the next
morning-only few hours after left
Gen. Sherman, after telling what had
heard as above-the results of which are
well known to the country.
