TO BE DEPLoRED.

The St. Louis Christian Advocate
says: Some things are plain and
some are not. Among the first is
this If there be anything good going
on in this country some of our daily
papers fail to see, or if seeing, they
fail to recognize it. But the bad of
aIl kinds, of every grade, from the
slightest to the most atrocious, they
;; ;;can sniff from afar. Just look over
the columns of the great dailies and
see for yourselves. A fist fight, a
stabbing, o shooting, or any little or
big act of immortality or scandal of
any kind, ''is grist for their mill"
Pity there is not some good some
where that would attract attention.
It is sad that crime is committed to
the extent it is, or committed at all,
but the more we say about it except
TO condemn it, the worse it will
become.
The above is true and it is to be
deplored. The press of the country
is too ready to take up every crime
or sensation and make great. ado
over it. In fact, the people expect
it. Just let murder or crime Of
any kind take place and the telegraph
is brought into requisition and the
dailies throughout the country serve
it up to their readers before breakfast.
If one should fail to secure the news
the reading public charge it with lack
Of energy and enterprise. 1t is true
shat the readers of daily newspapers
expect to be served with just such
intellectual diet, but who is response
bic for this taste? The newspaper
of the day, by constantly feeding the
public with crimes and sensations Of
every character has educated the pub
lie to expect just such food. We be.
lieve that the public should know
something of the evil that is going on
in the world, but at the same time,
glimpse at the other side Of human
nature should be given.

SITUATION /.

- LSe heard very little Of our
ii Gauge Railroad for some
Te. A meeting OF the corporators
vas held at Edgefeld on December
23d, and it was decided to call an
other meeting as soon as the canvasser
reported as much as $4,000 sub
Ecribed. Under the act Of incorpora-
ton the company cannot organize
with less. We noticed that last
weeks Edgeield Chronicle stated
that the canvasser was at work on the
Saluda side Of that county and had
only raised about $4,000. At this
speed it.does not have the appearance
that enough will be raised to organ
ize, to say nothing Of building the
road. We would like very much to
see this road built, but at the present
rate the outlook is not very encourag-
ing. We do not believe the road can
be built by ,priva'e subscriptions, and
as the act of incorporation has been
amended so as to allow township or
county subscription by a vote for
taxation, we believe the shortest and
quickest plan is to decide upon the
route, order an election, and let the
people of the townships through
which the road is to pass decide for
themselves whether it shall be built.
A meeting of the corporators of the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
road is called to be held in Columbia
on the 14th inst.
1t is not good plan to scatter too
much. We would like to see all the
railroads built, but we would prefer
to see something definite accom-
plished in one direction before
branching out after other projects.
We presume, however, that we cannot
do anything at this end of the
Augusta, Edgefeld and Newberry
road until our Edgefeld friends do
something. We await their action
patiently.

We print on our outside this week
various comments by the press of the
State on different subjects. Almost
every paper in the State is of
the opinion that the Legislature
should have provided for the taking
of the census, aud if they represent
the sentiment of the people, those
Legislators who opposed an enumera-
ton will not fare well in the next
election.

Our neighLors at Laurens seem to
be having q lively time over the
prohibition movement there. At q
recent meeting of citizens to nom,
mate Council the license question
is said to have been the bone of con.
tention. The Herald says it was the
worst wrangle and most disorderly
meeting ever held in the town. We
hope they may settle their differences
in a peaceable way. The great
trouble is that in all these dry towns
Whiskey will be sold.

THE LATE LAMENTED
PITCHING INTO THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.


NE OF THE MEMBERS OF ~ THE LIZ, Sat the constitution

IN gers of the Legislature to
Eeioned according to prop
'oLUNBiA' Dec. o;glaation of the several Counties
i'eo the other half as at present ac-
q tou.''. thecording to population. The News
> shs and Courier thinks the suggestion a.
- sns good one and raises the cry that the
negroes are in the majority in twenty
FIVE out of the thirtythree counties in
the State, and if their vote
q nut should again be energized they
n eac would elect one hundred out Of
TO his the one hundred and twenty-four
,at he members Of the Legislature. It
{ his might be well to note too, that this
,ake IL plan would give Charleston Is in
iaining stead of representatives. We are
ntly not in favor of this plan aud do not
he vol believe it would work, but there are
rose. some things we do not exactly under
shelssss stand in regard to the workings of
ginsS the plan suggested.
ssraere It seems to US that such plan
would complication elections. You
in the Sc sOa.u u.,se - nOiu an elso''Dn m lOL
population and another election for
the members who are to represent our
property. If you adopt a property
qualification that would disfranchise
a large portion of our population,
both white and colored, unless you
make the amount of property very
small. IF you have but one election
and let the qualifications of the
elector remain as they are the remedy
would be worse than the disease.
o-N,,,iA. Take that very negro vote which the
News and Courier speaks Of which is
P-0u ~, in the majority in most Of the counties
q and if it is to be counted then this
H'0'' vote could decide who was to repre-.

sn-property FOLDERS who pay some
wv x would have no voice in saying
sio''''' p,,tlo we're to spend their money and
i"'''N pw. We think it is best to let the
'h.'s7 Constitution stand as it is, and if its
provisions had been obeyed by our
ne Legislature, and the census taken,
and the apportionmant made in ac'
cordance therewith, there would have
been no necessity Tor offering these

struck the passengers were sent to the
cabin, where they remained until heavy
sea almost filled it and drove them into the
rigging. A girl Of three years and an

sea from the arms of their mother and
drowned. The cook was swept into his

Bad Railway Accident.

GREENFIELD. MASS, April IA terri
BILE disaster occurred on the Fitchburg rail-
road tonight, midway between Bardwells
ferry and west Dearfield station, the east
bound passenger train going over an en-
bankment 200 feet high. The point where
the accident occurred is the most danger
Gus on the road. Trains run ON an EN-
bankment 200 feet above the Deerfield
river. The bank is steep and covered with
huge boulders and masses of rock. When
the train arrived at this point, the track
commenced to settle under it for distance
covering its entire length. The coaches
broke from the trucks and went rolling
over and over down the precipice. Below
rolled the Deertield river. on the very edge
of which the cars were thrown. AS soon
as they struck they caught fire. The Sleep
ing car, which is an entire wreck, was oc-
cupied by several passengers, not one of
whom is known to have escaped. One man
was imprisoned i'll the wreck of the Sleep
er, where he was burned alive. One little
girl was picked up dead. AS soon as the news
reached Greenfield, train was made up
and sent to the scene, having on board sew
eral physicians, section men and few cit
zens. On arrival at the scene of the wreck
horrible sight was witnessed. Darkness
had settled over the spot, and far down on
the river bank could be seen the shoulder
ing embers of the holocaust. It is impossi-
BILE to tell who was hurt and who was
killed. Stout hearted trackmen were low
cred down the treacherous height, and the
work Of rescue began, fifteen persons be-
ing removed from the debris, two of whom
afterward died. 1t is reported in Shell
burne Falls that thirteen persons were
killed outright, but this could not
be verified. Fears are entertained that
morning will increase the number of deaths
and casualties. A portion of the mail is
reported lost. At II o'clock tonight men
were still working at the wreck. It is
learned that the injured at Shelburne Falls
number nineteen. Engineer Littlejohn is
dying and Henry G. Couilliard will die be-
fore morning. At midnight it was re-
ported that fifteen dead bodies had been
removed from the wreck, and it was be-
lieved that others had been swept down
the river. OF the dead bodies found, one
was recognized as that of brakeman
Spicer.
