RAILROAD FACTS AND RUMORS.

On Monday last, the summer schedule
was commenced Of running through in one
day from Charleston to Hendersonvills, N. G.
On the 4th Of June, Laurens will vote on
the question of making county subscription
of $4,000 to the opartanburg and Laurens
Railroad.
- On the I'd Of June Statesville will vote
on a proposition to subscribe $4,000 to the
Statesville Airline Railroad, this subscrip-
tion to be turned over to the North Carolina
Midland, provided it builds to Statesville.
- The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
about to contract for $4,000 plants of various
kinds, to be delivered at the stations between
Jersey City and Philadelphia. The purpose
is to have flower beds at every station along
the route.
-C Col. Yates, the chief engineer of the
North Carolina Midland Railroad Company,
has written to Captain Kirkland, the chief
engineer of the Spartanburg, Laurens and
Greenwood Railroad company, to ascertain
whether the latter can make a survey from
Shelby, N. G., to Spartanburg.
- An electric railroad is now successfully
running from a point in the city of Berlin to
the suburbs. This is the first actual trial
with the system for regular traffic. Edison,
in this country, has experimental good
deal and promised much more, but appears
to have dropped the subject, for the present,
at least
- Notwithstanding the lease of the Spartan
burg and Union Railroad to the Columbia
and Greenville Road, the Asheville and Spar.
tanburg Road will remain an independent
corporation under control of President Nc
Alden. He says that if the recent sale of that
property is confirmed by Judge Bond, in
June next, the road will be completed to
Asheville at once, arrangements to that effect
having already been made.
Twenty thousand carloads of freight are
detained on the tracks in and near Chicago, in
consequence of the strike of the railroad
hands, Large quantities of grain are spelling
from the damp weather, and consequent re-
duction in value amounts in some cases to
fully 500 per carload. The stock-yards
are full to overfowing, and cattle arriving
have to be kept in the cars on the track, with
no conveDiences for feeding or watering them.
The contract for the lease of the Spar
tanburg, Union and Columbia Railroad to
the Columbia and Greenville Railway, was, on
Friday last, signed, sealed and delivered by
R. Y. McAden, president, to r. L. McCaugh.

SENATORIAL RESERVATIONS.

The most exciting event of the present ses.
sion of the U. S. Senate, was the resignation
of the New York Senators, Conkling and
Platt, which was transmitted to the Vice
President, and by him read before the Senate
on Monday last. Though the letter of resig-
nation, signed by both Senators. is very
lengthy, the gist of it is that Conkling, being
unable to control the President and dictate
to the Senate, decided to resign his seat, and
trust to the chances of reelection by the As
sembly of New York, as a vindication Of
himself and rebuke to the President. Platt,
being regarded as the tail to Conkling's kite,
expects, of course, To fly back with him. We
have already stated the cause of the differ
ences which have sprung up between the
New York Senators and the administration,
the principal one being that the President has
proposed to make some changes in appointees
to foreign missions now filled by citizens of
New York, whom Conkling wishes retained
in their present positions, and notably his op-
position to the removal of Gen. Merritt from
the collectorship of the port of New York,
substituting for him VIM. H. Robertson.
The President has stood firm in adhering to
his nominations, however distasteful they may
be to the selfassumed leader of the Republi
can party land now the deadlock is broken
only by the captious resignation of Conkling
and bis colleague, which is, to say the least,
regarded as childish.
After the resignation was read in the Senate,
an impromptu meeting of the Cabinet was held
and it is understood that the Administration
is determined not to yield. Conkling evil
IDENTIFY expects to be returned Immediately,
in which event he threatenes to act as an In.
dependent Senator, and not affiliate with the
Republicans.
In Albany, both houses of the Assembly
were crowded on Monday to hear the letter
of resignation addressed to the Governor of
New York read At the conclusion of the
reading, the Speaker was obliged to order the
floor cleared, so that business could be pro.
ceeded with. The Stalwarts were very reti.
cent, and would not intimate what is to be
done. The time for holding the election will
be fixed at an early day. A New York dis
patch of Monday says rumors are on foot in
that city that there will be union in the
Assembly of the anti Conkling Republicans
and the Democrats, with view to the election
of one Senator from each party to fill the va
cancies; though the general impression is
that both of the resigning Senators will be
reelected and thus show legislative endorse.

COWPENS CENTENNIAL.

We acknowledge our Indebtedness to the
Ne,rs and Courier, for extracts taken from its
account of the centennial celebration of the
battle of Cowpens. In connection with the
event, the Ne,cs and Courier published over
thirty columns, giving much historical infor-
nation, some Of which was, for the FIRST time,
published in its columns. The telegraph was
used freely, not less than twelve columns
having been transmitted by wire. The work
was we'll done, and with pardonable pride the
.Neus and Courier refers to the achievement,
at the same time giving expression to re-
mark which is unfortunately too true, and
that is, that such an expenditure does not
bring in the South the immediate return
that it would bring in the. North and West
1.-The Southern people" continues our cotem-
porary, "are not quick to appreciate the nicer
shades of difference in journalism" In other
words, it might have been stated what the
Southern people are not inclined to recognize,
much less being slow to appreciate, the enter
prise of journals published in their midst.
This is the experience of all Southern pub.
fishers, whether of daily or weekly issues.
BY some strange hallucination, majority Of
the people are possessed with the idea that
newspaper Office is only another name for
mint for coming money, and that the news.

time. 1t is also notable error with many
persons, that in the weekly Offices there is no
condescension to work by any one connected
with them except on publication days, when
the opulent editor and bis wealthy assistants
"strike off" the paper as burriedly as possible
and take until next publication day for the
enjoyment Of their redundant and easily &C.
quired cash. How entirely the reverse of all
this, can best be answered by the toilers in

posing rooms, and the press-rooms from Mon.

mill life, requiring unremitting labor, and
the duties of each man to be promptly per-
formed.
True, the labor devolving upon a weekly
is not nearly so great as that pertaining to
the publication of a daily; yet to those who
properly discharge their duties on a weekly,
the labor is even greater to the individuals
than when specified task is assigned to each
member of the staff, and for that day he has
no other work on his hands. The remarks
of our Charleston cotemporary as to the want
of appreciation by the Southern readers apply
with the same force to the weekly press of
the South as to the daily. The ENQUIRER,
however, has no cause to complain. The
circulation of the paper is good; with
denser population it would no doubt be bet
ter; but on occasions of purely local nature
similar to that which has just tested the
enterprise of the Neacs and Courier, when
in our humble way we have attempted full

cuts upon his throat, none of which, however,
proved fatal. He was arrested during the

killed his wife because she was unfaithful to
him. His neighbors say that his charges
against his wife, who was his senior by ten
years, are without the slightest foundation.
They had been married fifteen months. The
murdered woman was his second wife. His
first is said to have obtained divorce from
him because of his i'll treatment. Hicks will
probably recover from his injuries.
