As TO Liquor.

been greatly agitated throughout
the State for several months. The
matter of liquor drinking has for
years excited great public interest.
For years temperance organizations
have been formed and every argu-
nent and appeal have been made
from the pulpit, the press and the
freside against liquor drinking.
The effort has heretofore been in
this State to keep men out Of the
way of liquor. This has been found
impossible. The efforts now being
made are to keep liquor out Of the
way of men. So long as it is sold
publicly and without violating any
law all efforts to stop liquor drink
ing will prove futile. The thinking
people of the State have realized
this fact. Seeing the great evils
resulting from excessive drinking,
and seeing that argument, reason,
persuasion and appeals fail to check
these evils, the next step was the
s'local option" plan, allowing each
municipality, by vote of its citizens,
to say whether they would have
bar rooms o. not. This has accom-
p'ished the desired result in many
communities. Laurens, Pickens
and several other towns in the
State have closed their bar rooms
in this way. And we firmly believe
that a majority of the white citizens
of nearly every community in the
State would decide this matter in
the same way were it left to them
alone. But the colored people are
mostly in favor of Liquor. In many
communities, therefore, this local
option plan fails to bring relief.
As last resort the Legislature is
appealed to. We think it extreme
ly probable that this body at its
very next session will pass a law
prohibiting the sale Of liquor as a
beverage in this State. Such g law
is needed, and it's adoption and en-
forcement would do more toward
building up the prosperity and the
morality of the State than anything
else. Persons may talk about the
right of free trade, and that sort Of
thing; but abstract principles
amount to nothing in the face of
solid facts. The only question in
this matter is, whether prohibition
will lessen drunkenness. Some say
it will not; we think that there can
be no doubt that it will. If the
Legislators be satisfied that it will,
then il becomes their duty 10 pass
the law.
We have nothing to say against
men who sell liquor lawfully; they
have a right to do SO, and so long
as they conduct their business in
accordance with law nobody has a
right to say aught against them.
Liquor selling is a legitimate busi-
ness so long as the law does not
prohibit it.

The Sale Of The SpartanburS &
ASheyilIe Esail Road.

Onr telegram in last issue stated
that this road had been bought
by the ''bondholders. It was
our own inference that the rc&l
purchasers were the Clyde Compa-
ny, OF the Richmond & Danvi!le Z.
R. Company, which means the same
thing. This inference was drawn
from the fact that the road could
not lie Of any use to any other par
ty-indeed it was the only reason
able inference. The Air Line, run
ming perpendicular to the road, and
the Spartanburg, Union & Colum
bia, a continuation of the road, and
it's only outlets, are under control
of this Company. This state Of
facts would put the Spartanburg IL
Asheville entirely at the mercy OF
the Richmond & Danville. We are
still convinced hat The Richmond
& Danville arc the real purchasers,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
bid was made by the bondholders.
and an organization was formed by
them with the ostensible purpose OF
running it. There was no difficulty
in the way of the bondholders buy
ing it; for they. held 100000 first
mortgage bonds, with which to pay
for it. Any other party bidding
would have had to pay the bid in
money, to be distributed among the
bondholders. At the sale the bond
holders could have made the Rich
mond & Danville pay 100000 for
the road. Since the sale the Rich
mond & Danville can compel the
bondholders to take whatever they
choose to offer. But these matters
are always arranged beforehand;
and, no doubt, the bondholders and
the Richmond & Danville Company
had everything arranged before tue
sale, and that the sale was a mere
matter of form, gone through with
for the sole purpose of getting the
matter ont of the Courts. The sit
uation was this: The bondholders
could buy the road but could not
run it; the Richmond & Danville
could not Conveniently buy, but
they could run it. The bondholders
therefore buy it with their bonds,
and then turn it over to the Ri@h.
mond & Danville- How much tie
bondholders get for their bonds is
not known outside of official circles.

ination of those sections of the Con-
stitutlon of the United States which
relate to the appointing power.
That venerable instrument pro-
vidss that the President shall, by
ana with the advice and consent of
the Senate, appoint to the several
eAses whose appointment Is not
otherwise provided for by law.
While this advice and consent Of
the Senate would appear to relate
to the action Of that body in a col.
lective capacity, Conkling and Platt
interpret it in a different sense.
The truth is that there has been a
tendency, Of late years, to unduly
hamper the Executive. The Re.
publican party, when Andrew
Johnson started out In good faith
to carry out the programme which
Abraham Lincoln had devised,
originated the tenure Of office act
and other measures intended to tie
the hands Of born Demo-
crat who had been made
President by the madness OF
John Wilkes Booth. 1t is small
wonder that Garfield is restive
under the system of i'm perious Sens-
torial dictation which has followed.
Waving the question of his per-
senal obligations TO the "stal.
warts" in the election of last fall,
there oan be no question but that
he has chosen his battle ground
with great ekill and sagacity.
Though the controversy may re.
suit in splitting the Republican
party asunder, it may also have
the good effect of emancipating
the Presidential office from very
onerous shaekles abhorrent 10 the
spirit Of the Constitution. There
is an inherent strength in Gar.
fields attitude which even dwarfs
the question of veracity between
him and Conkling and Platt, as to
which we believe the New York
Senators told the truth. The peo.
pie of the United States should
have an untrammeled executive,
by all means. Better abolish the
Presidency than make the
President the puppet of In.
dividual Senators. When 1t
Comes to the wlee and collec-
tive attitude Of the Senate Rs .
body, the case rests on an entirely
different ground. In the exercise
Of its constitutional prerogative, it
is the duty Of the Senate of the
United States, irrespective Of party,
individual preferences or Presidsn-
tial Establishments, to interpose an
inflexible veto to the efforts of q
bad executive to force unworthy
men into public Office. From q
logical point of view Conkling has
shown bad judgment in the initial
skirmish. What reserve of force
he may have, how far his magnetic
eloqusnce and daring may be capa.
BILE of redssming his desperate per.
sonal fortunes, remains to be seen.
Nothing is impossible to genius
and courage amongst such mer-
curial people as those of the United
States.
