The Chesapeake and Delaware Ship
Canal.

IT. appears from what has been done
that this great work is really to be,
accoup ished. Application has been
mad. to The Delaware authorities for
a commission to condemn land for
the Canal. That known as the
Sas. atras river route has been chosen,
that river serving for water way

ahont > miles. The entire length OF
the caral will be IL miles. The con-
tract sor the work has been awarded
to New York firm, and the estimated
cost is $S.458, 800. A syndicate OF
capitali.ts are to construct the work
The stock is held in N. York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. When this in
land water way is constructed, the
voyage to Europe from Baltimore
will be shortened 225 miles and tie
dangers out 81 lie of the Chesapeake in
pounding Stormy Cape Charles be
avoided. The next step in this great
inland navigation will be to open a
shin canal through Virginia and
North Carolina. and thus escape the
torna1oes which seem to he ever pres
cnt Of Cape Hatteras. This work was
recommen, ed by Grant when Presl-
dent. and will. most probably be sc
complished in the not very remote
future. The Mississippi river from
the Calf to St. Louis could be made

lefty system, so successfully applied
to deepening South Pass at the rivers
mouths. When the father of waters
is brought under control and confned

for che State to tide over as best they
might the present difficulty and open
the way for the return Of young men who
they may have felt were, perhaps, push
ed further. than all the circumstances Of the
case fully warranted, OF, to express it
better, perchance, fully required as a
necessity Of good discipline. Their
whole action looks to US that way.
So far as "Congaree's" criticism of
tho late superintendent, Colonel Thorn
as, is concerned, we publish it only to
say that we think it hardly fair. Colonel
Thomas is no longer connected with
the institution ; md whether he be to
blame or not in his management Of the
same. his merits or dement's have no
longer any management OF the school,
Let Us rather look to the. future and
deal tenderly with the charartcris-
tics Of Colonel Thomas. who has fully
shown his capacity to maintain a large
and highly useful school in other fields
IL he and the Board Of Visitors have
differed, good and worthy men have
differed before, and will differ so long
a 8 the world lasts. Let us then not
trouble ourselves with these differences.
Colonel Thomas, as n true and self
respecting gentleman has got out Of the
way, and it seems to us that We should
now give the Board Of a fair trial
for the future conduct of the ~institu-
ton without taking part one way or an
other in past differences. We respect
Colonel Thomas just as much as we
ever did, and we sincerely wish him
we'll wherever his lot may be hereafter
cast. And we would feel quite as
willing to entrust u boy to his care as
we would ever have done.
Let us all go to work then TO sustain
and build up the Academy rather than
to find fault with the late Supcrindent
Of the present Board. OF course, if the
Legislature IN careful inquiry, should
find the Board to be incompetent or
unfit in any way for the trusts COM
mitted to its charge, it would be plain
duty for the peoples representatives %
choose a new Board; but to make the
issue Of IL new Board or no Academy
does not look to us like wise
and dispassionate action.-COiumbia

The. proposed subscription to the new
railroad through Edgeficld is the bone
Of contention between the Edgcfeld
Adrertiser and the AOnitrr. The war
is bitter, and they receive from each
other scant courtesy. In the course Of
the argument the Monitor says:
"The creation of q bonded railroad
debt. except in cases where there are
extraordinary demands for such rail-
roads, is often, in effect, financial sui
eide. How is Spartanburg to get from
under her load of ovcr 100000? She
has got her railroads and vet her people
are in little better conditions to pay the
debt than they were the day it was con-
tracted. Georgetown, too. wanted n
railroad and she issued her bonds. She
got the road. but the bank Of Augusta is
''bustcd," Georgetown is bankrupt and
the road is not paying running cxpen-
scs."
We don't intend to enter into this log
pmachy, but we beg to warn the Moni-
tor that in locking fora county ruin, d by
railroads, he had better let Spartanburg
alone. 1t will prove n boomerang that
Will hit him fair between the eyes.
In 1873 the total taxable. property Of
Edgeficld was $4.745.O77.O9. The total
taxable property of spartanburg was
$4,467, 383. l3. In 1883 the taxable
property Exclusive Of this railroad
property, in Edgefeld was $3, 1924. 80,
in Spartanburs, $500. l6O. In addition
to this six and a half millions. the Air
line alone pays taxes on over half a mil
lion. The figures speak for themselves
of our ability to pay our taxes Of the
d~csirability Of land in Spartanburg in
spite Of the taxes. No county ever
made a better investment. The en-
HANGED value Of tho property in Spar
tanburg can pay the debt ten times oy-
err, and leave the county az rich as it
was before the roads came. The people
in Siartanbnrg arc emincntly satisfied
with their roads and debt.-Sp0,tun-
