FIELDING. By AUSTIN DoBsoN. Harper

Brothers, New York.
AS an interlude between his poems, Austin
Dobeon has set himself down to a prose work;
and, judging from II, he writes as we'll In one
field of literature as III the other. His work
upon the life of Henry Fielding, the father OF
the English novel, is one of the most attract
i've literary productions OF the season. 1t Is
pleasantly written and acutely In accordance
with the facts of the life of the author of
"Tom Jones'" Mr.. Dobson has made use of
the most reliable authorities In the compost
tion OF his work, and in Arthur Murphy, Wat
son, Sir Walter Scott, Roscoe, Frederick Law
renee and Thomas Keightley found much to
aid him in completing his biography. The

COLONEL DUDLEY's speech at last

and startling statistics startling at least
to those who have not thought OF the sub
jeet. For instance, speaking to the
toast of the "Grand Army of the Republic

There were 2,7sO,17s men enlisted by the
United States for the purpose of putting down
the rebellion.
1t is quite certain that of this number ZIG.

population In 1850 of the same States and
disqualified for the Grand Army Of tho Re-
public, and there yet remain 1,350,000 who

The average age OF the Union soldier at the

20 years which have elapsed, and the average

The Railroad Commission in South
Carolina.

O@-----~~--
Carolina.
Editor Morning NeloS: The progressive
State Of South Carolina seems to have
gotten into some trouble by following in
the footsteps of Georgia and Alabama in
laying restrictions upon railroad enter
prise. The Railroad Commission was
supposed to have worked so we'll IN those
States, notwithstanding the growing dis
satisfaction with its arbitrary rulings,
that South Carolina decided to try it on,
and she has now worn the garment for
one year. But it does not seem to hit, or
at least, the people appear to be very re s.
tive under it's protecting @gis." The
commissioners are represented to be able
and irreproachable citizens, but the APP
probation of their "arduOus labOrs" may
be inferred from the character and
result of the recent contest
in the Legislature, in which
bill TO repeal the enacting clause of the
railroad law was defeated in the House by
the small majority of seven votes, and
Immediately followed by volume OF
notifications of its provisions designed TO
render the commission harmless Tor the
future. These notifications or amend
ments have not passed the Senate, out
small majority given to sustain the law,
indicates that after a fair trial and due
consideration, the people of South Caro-
lima deem it prudent to check the very
large discretionary powers heretofore
vested in the commission. Some OF their
best orators and statesmen In the contest
have declared that the railroad law as 1t
stands is injurious to the interests OF the
State. violates the law of property, and is
utterly at variance with sound cOnstitu-
tional principles. One of these, referring
to a memorial and petitions before the
LEGISLATURE against the railroad law, said
the petitions came from every quarter of
the State, ''frOm city, town, village and
hamlet, from mountain side and plaln,"
and sail tell the same story OF confidence
DESTROYED, of enterprise paralyZed, of cap
ital alarmed, and injury inflicted" 1t
was testified before the Legislature that
the Columbia and GreenVille Railroad
suffered a loss under the commission, as
compared with the previous earnings, for
the first month of the year of $4,000,
and that the falling off during
the last two months in the
year would be in proportion. The
net earnings of the road for the year
were barely sufficient to pay the interest
on its bonded debt. In support of the in
dictment against the commission of
"enterprise paralyZed, capital alarmed"
etc., and to show that the practical effect
of its workings was to prevent the in
vestment of capital IN railroads in South
Carolina, it was enumerated that Robin
sons road from Monroe, through Chester
and Newberry, Haygood's road from
Aiken to the mountains, Bredgers' road
from Florence to Wilson, the Spartanburg
and Asheville Road, ETC., were all stop
ped upon the borders of the State.
According to these statements, and
they were boldly presented to the Legis-
lature, il would seem that the railroad
law of South Carolina has been playing
havoc with her public enterprises.

Let Us All Write Books.


Mr.. Blaine will get for his book on his
political experience and recollections
$4,000 cash down, and royalty of fifteen
cents a volume, say 100000 on an edition
of 800. 900. Better say 800, 900 on an edition
of 150. 1000 copies. That would be bigger
sale than any volume of personal recol-
lections ever reached in this country.
Comparatively speaking, this is not
larger profit than several American
writers of less prominence have received
for comparatively unimportant books.
The late Albert ID. Richardson sold over
100000 copies of a SO book giving
an account of his twenty months
Imprisonment in Southern prisons, netting
him about $4,000 in few months. Mark
Twain has made an ample fortune out of
books which require very little labor, some
little humor, and no long experience.
John T. Raymond paid him as royalty
very large sum in the aggregate for play
he does not, l believe, claim to have writ
ten. joaquin Miller made enough out of
his plays and books to keep Wall street
happy for quite time. Tourgee's novels
have been so profitable that he has been
able to squander $4,000 in starting a
weekly magazine. Oh, no; if Mr.. Blaine
gets no more out of his book than $1OO,eO
he ought to feel that he has been under

A very considerable faction of the
Democratic party in at least two of the
Gulf States do not appear to have any
greater respect To- Democratic officials
than a few years ago they had for Repub-
lican officials. In Louisiana almost half
the Democrats OF the State are exceeding
IL hostile to the candidate for Governor,
who was nominated last week, and with
very little announcement would probably
bolt the ticket. In Texas there is great
dissatisfaction because the Governor does
not protect citizens against the lawless
class. The Galveston NelrS, the leading
Democratic paper of the State, says: The
fiagitious feebleness of the gOvsrnment of
Texas can no longer be hidden from view.
No amount Of sophistry and no quantity
Of excuse and apology can remove the
naked fact that the Executive of the State
Is unequal to the suppression of lawless-
ness"
The NelcS goes even further and charges
that the Governor is anxious to cOnciliate
the iawless element on account of the
voting strength which it has. The truth
is. patience has ceased to be a virtue in
Texas, and the peaceable citizens will
undertake to execute the laws after a
fashion Of their own if the Governor con-
times his present dO-nOthng policy. If
he expects to secure higher hOnOrs by
giving license to lawlessness. he will soon
discover his mistake. Public officials who
fail TO discharge their whole duty seldom
retain public confidence.
