Let u be remembered that whilst II cost Augusta
not less than million Of dollars to get her TO-
600 water power we will get $1,000 at the first
dash for some 100000. Or whilst it cost Au-
gusta not less than 500 to horse power it will
cost the Columbia and Lexington Company some
Si' per horse power, besides tho vast and valu-
ao:e rights and franchises incident thereto
The "bui mt child" argument of the Times we
know is very effective one with most people
IN anything savoring of public undertaking.
10 this argument in this case we would say your
subscriptions are ssked not to n railroad or any
scheme the cost Of which may not DO brought
down to almost absolute figures, but to IN en-
terprise which is Of class that has been almost
universally successful At the South and upon n
scale so far MS cost is concerned not only cheap
er than such works hitherto have been con-
structed, but with . very. moderate total expsn-
diture in comparison with noay other enter
prises Of the kind.
As to the general point made of the 'burnt
ohild:" What people on earth ever undertook
anything from the time Nonh's ark rested on
Ararat without cncountering loss at some period
or occasion? II is not the loss encountered in
effort which makes us poor indeed, but inaction,
suspended effort, rotting en- the ways, waiting
for something to turn up. This crying after
split milk never gathered q drop that was lost
since tho world began nor did it furnish more
milk that we wot of. Tho only way is to go
back to the teat and look for better luck next
time Col. Register.
A holland FOR AN OJIyER T.ooop
has fallen into the habit Of pushing himself
into the proceedings just before the ndjourning
hour. and so at about the usual time he came
forward this afternoon, making Mr.. Hills speech
the occasion Of his doing so. He said he rose
merely to call attention to Sheridans report in
which 1000 names were given Of persons mur-
dered in Louisiana after the war, but several
Democrats disputing the authority upon which
the report was based Logan launched into an
offensive trade that soon led to spirited give
and take discussion.
Mr.. Butler. of South Carolina, had moved to
sent on the main aisle during this coloquy, and
asked Logan If he had ever heard Of such or
ganization as the Ku- Klux or Vigilance Commit
tee in Illinois.
"Why, no." exclaimed Logan. contemptuous-
ly. "Thcn you are rs ignorant of what is 60
ing on in your own State as you charge South
ern Senators with being about tho South. In
Charlestown, ILL.,, the newspapers report the ex-
istance Of a vigilance committee which have
taken men and women out Mt night and whipped
them and ordered them 10 leave the country
Does the Senator consider himself responsible
for that ua.y he h~~ --r-

town, for which he was led out of the town with
rope around his neck? Is the Senator from
Ohio responsible for that2 The newspapers
tell of recent murders in Maine-is the Senator
responsible for them? Is the Senator from Illi-
nois responsible for l2l men shot down in the
streets Of Chicago in 1877, or for the Pittsburg
riot and the consequences? Yet he tries to hold
Southern Senators responsible for outrages COM
mitted in the South under carpet-bag govern
ment, which he himself helped to fasten on the
South
Logan. who had been writhing under this
fusilade, broke In with some mumbling extenu-
ations. Mr.. Butler still kept his feet, not hav-
ing finished speaking. Presently Logan turned
sharply ON him, and, claiming the floor direc-
ted him to sit down.
81 will take my seat" Mr.. Butler replied,
'if the Chair directs me to do so, but not Mt the
dictation or request Of the senator from illinois
unless asked to do so in proper manner"
"Well," Logan blurted out, thoroughly vexed,
''you may stand up all night for all caro-, but
you may rs we'll understand that none of that
bravado will deter me.
"Will the senator permit me to reply2" Mr.
Butler interrupted, mildly, "that his bravado
hos not the slightest influence on me-" The
discussion then proceeded until Logan's exirav-
asant statement put the Senate in laughing
humor, aud he himself was almost ready to
agree with Mr.. Butler that nffidavits could be
collected in the South by the CARLOAD at ST. so
each to prove anything. Proeeedinqs,
