Starving People in South Carolina.

starving People In south NaFOAhsA'
1t seems hardly possible, yet the reports
received leave little room for doubt, that
in a large section Of South Carolina
thousands of people are on the verge Of
starvation. 4 letter in the New York
san from Beldoc, in that State, says that
sbecause no voice has been lifted in
cry for aid the great world does not know
that the people of a State, one of the old
thirteen, are now undergoing privations
unparalleled in her history. Such ST.
lence under such suffering is only ac-
counted for by a knowledge Of that singu-
lar stOicism which seems an inherent
trait with these people" Among the az
Ilicted counties named are Marion. Aiken,
Barnwell, COlletOn. Hampton, Beaufort,
Charleston and Orangeburg. In all the
suffering region distressing drought
prevailed from last May until last De
cember. The growing crops were WIN
cred by the hot sun and screening
winds. The wells gave out and
there was not only a scarcity Of food, but
also Of water. The fall crops came to
nothing. and it was not until last Febru-
arv that it was possible to get anything
To grow. The merchants in many lOcali-
ties were ruined because they trusted the
farmers. expecting To be paid out of the
crops There were no crops, and the
starving farmers We're unable to meet
their obligations to the merchants. The
merchants, in turn, could not meet the
demands of their creditors. and their
stores are now being closed by the Sheriff.
The entire afflicted section Is full of re-
ports Of starvation. ruin and desola-
ton. The Hari0n County IRdsr of the
18th inst, SAYS: Reports reach us from
different sections Of the country giving
accounts Of many instances Of actual suf-
fering caused by persons unable to get
bread. From what we learn. there has been
no year since the war when provisions
were so scarce. There are hundreds, per-
haps, in Marion county to-day who cannot
get enough bread to eat. The largest lib
crafty must prevail or starvation in some
instances must be the consequence"
How these people are to get through the
summer is a question they are not able
to answer. They viii produce something
this season, but it IS a good while before
the crops will be ready to harvest. They
need help, and if their condition is made
known in such a way as to attract atten-
ton. charitable people all over the cOun-
try doubtless will hasten to afford them
aid. \ few weeks ago, when the floods
swept the Ohio valley, there was an i'm
mediate and hearty response 10 the cry Of
the afflicted for aid. Private purses were
opened, and the doors Of the National
Treasury were unlocked. Even now the
government is feeding thousands Of suffer
ing people in the lower Mississippi valley.
The terrors of the drought are as great as
those Of the flood, though their approach
is more steaIthy. Because these South
Carolina people suffer and die without
calling for help they ought not to be
neglected.

The Union, said Wendell Phillips, with a
the Union is called the very ark of the Amer
lean covenant; but has not idoatry Of the
Union been the chief bulwark of slavery, and
in the words, and deeds, and spirit of the
most vehement Union saviorsr who denounce
agitation, can any hope of emancipation be
deserted? If, then, under the sacred charter
of the Union, slavery has grown to this stu
pendous height, throwing the shadow of death
over the land. is not the Union as it exists the
foe Of liberty, and can we honestly affirm that
1t is the sole surviving hope of freedom in the
worldg Long ago the great leaders of our par
ties hushed their voices, and whispered that
even to speak of slavery was to endanger the
Union. Is not this enough? Sons of Otis and
of Adams, of Franklin and Of Jay, are we

The protecuonists have been in cOnsid-
cradle trouble as TO how they would argue
the tariff question to suit the views of both
the manufacturers and the consumers of
manufactures. They seem, however, to
have determined to take both horns of the
dilemma. At the Pennsylvania Republic
can Convention it was earnestly argued
that the protective tariff really reduces the
price Of goods to the consumer, but before
the manufacturers it is the strong point
that the tariff increases the price to the
manufacturer. and enables him to get on
an average about 40 per cent. more for his
goods than they are worth.

The opening of the railroad west from
the ChattahOOchee river, through West
Florida, gave New Orleans and Mobile
an opportunity to compete with Atlantic
cities, especially with savannah, for the
cotton trade Of that section. The effort
was successful to a certain extent, owing
to low freights, which were soon met by
the other lines, and the fictitious idea that
cotton brings Il higher price at Gulf ports
than at those on the Atlantic. Nearly
every merchant in West Florida and
along the ChattahOOehee made the expert
ment of sending cotton westward instead
Of eastward. The cotton season has yir-
tuaIly ended, and merchants are figuring
on the result Of their business. The con-
clusion that they have come to is that
Savannah is as good, if not a better mar
ket, than New Orleans or Mobile, from
the fact that prices average the same, and
that in Savannah cotton is paid for in five
days after it is sold, and at New Orleans
it is often thirty days before it is paid for.
A number of business men from South
Georgia and West Florida, who changed
front a year ago. have decided to ship all
their cotton this way next season, pro-
vided the rates of freight are anywhere
near those offered by lines going West.

Mississippi is congratulating herself

her officials will be disposed to grant
railway corporations favOrs which are
not granted to individuals. On that day
the law goes into effect which makes it
misdemeanor for any legislative, eXecu-
tive, judicial or ministerial officer Of the
state, or for any person holding an office
of honor or profit under the laws
of the State. to travel on any rail
road in the State without paying
the same fare required Of passengers
generally. For the first offense the pun
ishment is a fine of $25; for the second
not less than 500 or Imprisonment not
less than 10 days in the county jail, and
for the third offense fine not less than
$500 and imprisonment in the county Jail
not less than 30 days. 1t will come rather
hard on the Mississippi lawmakers to pay
their fares, but then they will stay
