Notwithstanding the fact that the pro-
posed new railroad between Boston and
New York was vigorously doomed at pub
lie meeting in Boston ON Thursday, it is not
probable that the road will be built very
soon. There are already two rail lines be-
tween Boston and New York one of which
is profitable and the other virtually bauk-
rupt. The prospects of third line will
therefore hardly prove sufficiently alluring to
investors to induce them to furnish the nee
essary capital.

1t appears that the recent conference be-
tween Chairman Barnum of the National
Democratic committee and John R. Mclean
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, had reference to
the attitude of the Standard Oil Company
in the campaign in that State, and as the
meeting is reported to have resulted salts
factorily it may be expected that the numer-
GUS barrels which the company controls will
soon be put ON tap for the benefit of Cleve-
land and reform. The price paid for Mr..
McLean's influence is understood to have
been promise that ali the patronage should
be placed at the disposal of the ring, of
which he is the head, and that Pendeton
and Thurman should be sent to the rear
and kept there. That there is good founda-
ton for this story is pretty conclusively
demonstrated by the fact that since the con-
ference the Enquirer, whose attitude previ-
ously toward Cleveland had been similar to
the New York SUMS, has topped and begun
supporting him in dead earnest. Having
fixed the Standard Oil ring and Mr.. Mclean,
Chairman Barnum will next turn his atten-
ton probably to the Cincinnati saloon keep
ers. who are somewhat disgruntled because
the pledges made to them last year were
only partly fulfilled. With the liquor deal
ers concilated, and the barrels of the Stan
dard Gil Company on tap the Democrats will
be in position 20 open vigorous reform
campaipn.

Both the Boston Herald and the Boston
Post profess to think that the returns from
the back towns must have been manipula-
ted because they point to larger plurality
for Gov. Robe than the early returns from
the cities and the larger towns indicated.
To manipulate the returns from 200 towns
and not be found out would be an impossi-
bility. A large part of the voters of every
town know exactly what the vote was de-
clared to be, and any change in it subse-
qnenty they would instantly detect. Be
sides, the Republicans had Lo motive for
manipulating the returns. They were salts
fed with the majority indicated ON Monday
night.

Ex-Gov. Plaisted says in the New Age
that the Republicans have bought the elec-
tion Of governor and four congressmen in
Maine, but have not and cannot buy the cleo
tion of James G. Blaine But why can't
they? If the Democrats of Maine can be
bought as Gov. Plaisted says they have been
why cannot the Democrats of New York
aud Indiana, the pivotal States, be bought
up to? Does Gov. Plaisted think the Demo-
Gratis of these states less corruptible than the
Democrats of Maine? To attribute the re-
suit in Maine to bribery, is to admit that
enough of the Democratic party is for sale
to make the resalt of elections in this
country simply question of finance.

Tho Egg.

The ErskiNe Student has a worry learned
treatise IN the egg, from which We quote
"You viii fen ont by cxpercnc, If you
don't alrcddy no." &c. Without discuss
ing tho propriety or improperly OF
printing articles, tho spelling of every
word of which is al offence to the Eng
lish language, we would deny the right
of any body to spell "will' with only
one - "ticn' is no proper way to spell
find" the leaving off the final "e' in
experience was in violation of any rec
ognized rule. "Alreddy no" Is pro-
nounccd exactly as if properly spelled,
and the change Of spelling in this in
stance, is meaningless. Educated gen
tlcmen when writing, if they choose To
do so. may spell words as they are pro-
nounred, but nobody has n rirht to
mi.sprll "know"-the best educated
scholar and the most illiteratc citizen
pronounce that word in the same way,
Therefore, if the educated citizen is max
ing an effort to reproduce the language
of an illitcratc person he must not mis-
spell such words as "know." "already.'
"ind,' "will.'' &c. There arc, however,
instances when provincialisms with all
their violations of grammar and rhetoric
may be properly printed, but no man is
ever excusable for misspelling wor:is
which every man on the continent pro-
nounces in exactly the same way.

The Drainage Law.

VIC present to Il readers a copy OF the
drainage law as amended and now Of
force in this State. While there may lie,
and no doubt are, instances where OBJ
structions should be removed from the
streams, we know that there arc many,
very many, instances where tho land
owners best interest would dictate any
thing else than such Il course. II all II
streams were Strengthened and all OBJ
structions removed from our water ways
all our valuable bottom lands would
soon be lost. 1t is owing to the obstruc-
tons, and the serpentine course of our
that VIC have any bottom land
in this section Of country, and it would
seem that this law would have peo-
pie destroy their richest estate. The en-
forcement of the law is. besides being in
furious to our citizens, iniquitous in that
gives a nei5hbor tho right to nose"
around anu Interfere with the plans, and
may be, the best interest of the land
owner. Ordinarily, where questions
arise, there arc two sides to the matter i'll
dispute, but in this instance a quarrel
and in~tcrmeddling neighbor is
tho sole judge as to the amount Of log
pulling and raft-movinS that should be
done.
We blame nobody for tho passage of
this law. At one time we thought that it
was q good law ourselves, and approve
it, but after more mature consideration,
we believe, il it is enforced, that it will
work greater injury to our agricultural
interests than any law OIL our statute
books.

The Liberality Of n Good People.

The Associute Reformed Presbyterian
of last week announces the fact OF an I'M
examplcd libcrality. This furnishes one
more proof that they can build a fine
church if they only make m effort. For
our part we would sooner see them stop
all missionary work for a season than to
put up Il cheap church. II they would
appropriate their contributions for other
purposes to their church, the work would
he done. Tho Presbyterian says:
The Agent for the Seminary Endow-
ment, Rev. j. r. Chalmers, visited us on
Tuesday. Seeing that many glory after
the flesh, we will glory also. There was
some concern on the part of a good many
lest our new church enterprise, which IS
taxing the congregation heavily, might
prove a very serious hindrauce to the
work of the endowment. Our pastor
gave US an admirable preparatory dis.
course on alms-riving on Sabbath, and
away the refugees which some Qi US
we're building for ourselves. The agent
found All audience ready to help him for
ward in his work. His earnest ana stir-
ring address left really nothing more 10
ie said by way of cXllortation. After All,
however, we thought the congregation
would scarcely be able to come up to the
subscription of some others rs reported
in these columns. There was Il general
SUI prise and intense qualification when it
was known that the amount was over
(S3, 0O0) three thousand dOitdrs!
When it is remembered That this con-
gregation is strained with a $1,000 church,
and proposes to meet all the S~ynodical
assessments, we think the record a cred
liable one. But we iorbear, least any
should think Of US above that which he
sectll us to be, or that he heareth Of US.

Var.

We noticed last week that the journal
istic war between our Laurensvillc friends
of the Herald and Farmer was waxing
hotter, and as we have received neither of
their papers this week we look for the
worst. The two offices have doubtless
engaged in a pitched battle, and we fear
that editors, typos, devils and all are now
weltering in their gore. 1t Is too awful
to think about.
Since the above was put in type we
have received a copy Of the Merchant ana
Farmer, two days behind time, and we
see from its cont nts that the decisive
battle has not been fought, but that the
war is progressing briskly.
Our age hardly entities us to the privi-
lege Of giving advice, but II it did, we
would say to II esteemed friends, to
drop tho controversy Immediately and
for all time Newspaper disputes afford
amusement to the readers. just as a dog
fight on the street would call forth the
hurrahs Of a crowd, but awake no more
sympathy than if editors were inhabi-
tants of the planet Jupiter. 1t don't pay
to quarrel, unless one can do so and not
get angry.-,Sumter Wutchman and South
ron.
After careful reading of all tho quarrel,
we have concluded that neither of the
gentleman have mistroated their custom
ers. We thought from the beginning that
each of the editors were gentlemen, and
now we know it, since each have certified
and proved the rcctitade Of the conduct
of the other. 1t is n good time for an
ar mstice-if not for peace.

Be it Understood

THAT, while VIC oppose public educa-
ton in general. and negro edcatlon
in particular, wo would have it
distinctly understood that We are, as
heretofore, In favor of treating the
colored race flirly, and shall continue to
urge that he he treated hnmanely when
brought into Court. While tho officials
of the Government of South Carolina are
VIGOROUSLY anxious for the contiscntion
Of our property to educate an alien race,
we think they could much better serve
tho ends of justice by overlooking the
prisoners now confined in the Slate peni-
Tertiary. \ large per cent. of them. in
our opinion, should be restored to their
freedom, and if half the energy was ex-
pended in seeking objects Of executive
clcmcncy a has been manifested for I'll e
education Of tho race, much substan-
tial good would be done. When we OPP
pose the levy of taxes upon our property
for the education of the negro, we mean
no enmity to him. But merely urge that
he assert his own manhood and educate
his own children. He is as free as the
white man, and has an equal chance to
work, and he should not place himself
in the position of i public mendicant.
His freedom and self-respect arc more
dear and important to him than educa-
ton, and the cost is much less to US.
