The South Carolina Exodus.

Southern newspapers aud pol It'll
clans are generally agreed that the
flight Of negroes from South Carolina
will not amount to much Of
shower" Senator Hampton, in an
interview with a Washington CORES
pondent OF a Charleston paper, Is
reported as saying that the places
of those who lett for Arkansas could
be readily filled by colored laborers
from other portions Of the Safe,
Senator Butler was Of the same
opinion, and Representatives Aiken.
Dibble, EVins, and Tillman con
CURED. II seems to be the belief
OF all these gentlemen that the
exodus, whatever may be its extent
Is blessing in disguise. There is
aot, however, 50 much unanimity
Of opinion as TO the causes Of the
migration as there it concerning lis
effects upon the country affected by
it. Senator Hampton, for example
was inclined to assign political
restlessHess" )" and the passage of the
Stock law as among the causes Of
the migration, although he also said
that the failure OF the crops and the
promise Of plenty in the West have
served as incentives to mIgrat on
Senator Butler and some others
declare that the " estern railroad
| companies are behind the movement
and that the desire 10 obtain lab
orers and settlers along the lines o.
the railways, as well as bad crop,
and "the influence If sensational
preachers" have operated upor
The migrating coIored people.
As for the newspapers, if we may
accept their own declarations, they
are engaged in circulating a vas
and varied amount Of misin Information
concerning the exodus. While tb,
politicians from whom we have ius
/ quoted assign bad crops, political
restlessness the allurements of rail
way managers, and the passage O
the Stock law as among the cause
Of the migra ion, the newspapers
in their editorial columns, depy tha
there are any causes whatever foI
the exodus. 1t would appear that +,
large bodvof coloredpeople has beer
suddenly moved by some mysteriou
impulse TO quit Edgefeld count,
and fly to other regions. Some o
these have gone to Arkansas an,
some to the seaboard counJes q
Sou.h Carolina. We are asked +
believe that these people have ae
from old homes without cause O
reason. Or, if any explanation is /
begiyen to theetfect that theneeroe
are possessed by an unaccouptabl
delusiol. They are pursued by
mere phantom.

TEE ELECTION Of the Gowen ticket
By the stockholders of the Reading
Railroad Company yesterday was one
Of the greatest triumphs of Mr.. Cow
ems life, and proves him to De a man
Of wonderful energy and enduring
courage. Few men could have en-
dured the censure and rose above the
tide Of Indignation under which be
was put out Of the Presidency Of the
Reading after that Company failed to
pay its interest and dividends and
allowed its stock to go down to the
low AguTe il did. But it became
manifest TO the stockholders that Mr..
Gowsn was the only man in whom
they could repOse confidence to put
the stock up AgaiD-that to allow the
road to go into other hands, was il
effect 10 run the risk Of its being solo
70 the bondholders, and the whole OF
the stock being wiped out of exist
ence As was the case with the VIII
mington and Western and Whining
ten and Reading, and hundreds OF
other loads in various parts of the
country. There is scarcely a doubt
that Mr.. Vanderbilt and bis friends
would have sold their stock to the
Pennsylvania R R. Co., or TO the
Bond people, if either would have
offered high figure for it as in the
purchase Of the stock of the p. w.
& B. The termination of this eIec-
ton in favor Of Mr.. Gowen and Van
5erbilt would seem to favor the
more speedy erection of the pro
posed new read by the Baltimore an5
Ohio, as connection of the new road
with the Reading at Thurlow is now
probable and an arrangement with
the Bound Brook road to New York
is rendered possible. Wilmington
people feel an interest in the decision
only because they desire to witness
the progress Of the new road, anC
hope that as it will pass through thi
city large amount of money will b
expended here and in the vicinity il
its construction. 1t is also expecte,
that as there will be four railroad
Interested In getting to and from til
South Side there will be more neces
sity for the erection Of a substantia
railroad bridge over the Christiaua be
low the mouth of the Brandywine an
thus a connection made with til
Reading road and p, w. & B., i
order that some of the through freigh
trains may run without crossing Mar
ket street, and the great danger {
accidents be to this extent lesseneC
All the roads might join in the con
struction of this bridge and thus il
cost be made light to each, and
arrangement each would be permitte
its use.

Baroness Erlapger, wife Of the
banker, ordered her carriage to take
her to the Ring Theatre the night it
was burned. Accidentally the coach
man arrived fifteen minutes later than
ordered, and the Baroness escaped the
horrors of the fire. Strangely enough
like delay prevented her intended
visit to the Nice Opera House on the
evening it was burned.

wIRE-CABLE CITY RAILROADS.
tn }bs EjiInr


Chicago has one or more wire-cable city
railroads. propelled by stationary steam en-
gines; also San Francisco, and doubtless many
other cities, and it would seem that such roads
are in a short time to become general. Then
why should we not have them in Washing
ton? Congress ought to pass an act compell-
ing the Washington and Georgetown Company
to lay wire-cable tracks on the Pennsylvania
avenue line and also on the Seventh street
line Both of these lines as they now exist,
and especially the one on the avenue, are first
class nuisances The company persist in
keeping this track paved with stone, when
the street is laid with concrete, the track to
be filled with water and mud in summer and
snow and ice in winter. The horses are COM
PEELED to whack-whack over this stone many
miles each day, a manifest cruelty to the
horses and the noise a great annoyance
to tho people living on this great street.
| Toaseend Capitol Hill large relay of horses
has to be provided to strain themselves to
death in q short time in creeping up this hill
at snails pace. If this line was laid with
wire cable tho tracks would then he laid
with concrete, there would be no horses to
mako noise and filth in the street, the time
on the line generally would be reduced to
half, and up the hill fourfold, a great advan-
tage to the public; and in the long run,
doubtless, the company would run the line
at half the present cost. For this last reason
| alone, if no other, the company ought to apply
to Congress for authority to make the change.
But if they fail to do so then one of the Dis
| trict committee ought to report bill for the
purpose. No city improvement is more
needed or would be more popular than this.

senator browns Revenue Bul.

The first bill of the session in the Senate,
looking to the abolition of the internal reve-
nue. system, was introduced yesterday by Mr..
Brown, of Georgia 1t is his intention to
force the measure to an issue at the earliest
practicable time. The text of the bill is as
follows:
Whereas the policy Of the government OF the
United States from the earliest period OF its exist
ence except in case of the emergencies of war
has been TO collect the revenue necessary TO sup.
port the government by tax upon imports: and
Whereas the eXigencies of war made II necessary
teal parties during the late unfortunate civil war
and
WReieds a period of about eighteen years has
Tassed since tie war closed and the country is
now enjoying profound peace and prosperity,
rendering exception 10 the general rule of policy
and
Whereas the raising Of the revenue Of the United
States to support the government economically
administered by tax upon imports affords a
legitimate incidental protection TO American in-
dustry and American productions; and
Whereas il is unnecessary and improper to have
two large corps Of collectors one at the ports and
the other TO collect the internal revenues the lat
ter being used in great measure as an immense
political machine to aid the dominant party in
carrying elections, which said duplicate system is
very expensive and demoraliLing; therefore,
BE 4 enacisd, De, First that the act entitled an
act TO provide internal revenue 70 support the
government, 10 pay the interest on the public debt
and for other purposes, passed the 30th day Of
june 1864, and all acts adding to, enlarging
amending the same, and all laws authorizing Il q
collection OF Internal revenue be, and the same
are hereby repealed.
SEC 2. This act shall be Of force from and after
the lst day Of July, 1883.

The Old Hotel Totally Destroyed by

About II o'clock yesterday morning,a little
boy passing in the vicinity of the Brightwood
House, near the village of Brightwood, dis
covered that the roof of the hotel was on fire.
He notified the inmates who with the neigh
bors living in the vicinity, turned out and at
tempted to eXtinguish the fire. Even the
women and children about the place were
hard at work drawing water from well about
800 feet Off and passing it to the men, who
threw it on the burning roof. A telephone
message was sent to this city for help,
and Lieut.. johnson, of the second
precinct with Sergt Redway and Off
Ger Cole, proceeded to the scene though
no firemen were sent out, as Chief Cronin
could not spare them. Assistant Chief Drew
went out, but found he could do nothing, and
returned. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and soon the building was destroyed.
when it was found that nothing could be done
to save the hotel the workers turned their
attention to the surrounding residences and
buildings. AS the wind was blowing Il gale
from the northwest, the houses which are
situated to the south were out of danger, and
the fire was confined to the hotel itself. Most
of the furniture was saved, and the stables,
which were filled with blooded stock belong
ing to Mr.. w. b. Moses, of this city, were also
saved. The houses of Hon. NJ. G..
