There is movement on foot
among certain Maybintonites to have
Brazzleman's bridge, on Enoree
River, moved down stream to q point
about one and a half miles below the
present site. 1t will be remembered
that this bridge was washed away by
the freshct in May. The cause Of
the bridge going was thought to be
due to the fact Of the pillars or abut-
ments being bnilt too low for:.the
ireshet,it hadto contend with. Build
it where you may and it will not
stand such frcshct, unless it has a
better foundation and the bridge
chained to it. Those who are work.
ing for the removal promise that if
they get the bridge they will use their
influence with the County Commits.

| submit that the best plan will be TO
build good substantial bridge at
the old or present site. This is on
the old established road, and will
serve the purpose of all in the future
as it has in the past. TO build it at
the proposed new place, it will ac-

only about two miles below. whore
they want the bridge moved to, and
the danger is, that the: business may
be turned to Columbia or Union if
the change is made, and as the peo-
pie Of Ncwbcrry have to pay the
taxes to pay for the work, the inter-
osts Of the town should be considered
in making improvements. This is
still another argument in favor Of
the old place. Itis all very well for
them to want bridges near their homes
and property, but, think the County
Commissioners should consider we'll

that if there were bridges at both
places they would cross at the old

divided over this question, and fear

NIraPowderly on Social Equality.

We have read with interest Mr..
Powderly's letter on the subject of
IA social equality between tho white
:, land negro races. 1t was not to be
expected that he could give any new
light op the subject to the Southern
people, who have been living face to
s"fiee with theA problem for twenty
years. But his views were Of in.
terest to us rs probably forcshadow.
e., ing what. might be the policy Of the
~ great order over which he prcsdes,
and as something from which we
might judge whether to anticipate any
further trouble Hon the subject from
that source. We Judge from his let.
ter that he thinks the proper course
for the knights to pursue is to let the
subject; alone; and If we are correct
in that opinion he has once NOR:
vindicated his claim to have level
head. The Southern people. know
more about the. relations between the
HsraGes Here In the South than anybody
else IN the world, and any interfer-
ence by outsiders is otlicious inter
mcddliny and can only cause most
~ 'profitless trouble and bad feelings.

s!.soeial level"with anyone lie pleases.
But if all Knights Of Labor stand on
an equal footing in the order, if Mr..
Powderly recognizes no difference be.

same letter, he says: 'In the field of

order, "after mature deliberation and
careful thought" he selects man,
- on account Of his color, to perform a
conspicuous service. His object in

State Aid for CharlcstOn.

Governor Sheppard has refused to
call an extra session Of the Lcgisla-
turc for the purpose Of considering
the question Of State aid to rebuild
the city Of Charleston. We think he
has reached n proper conclusion in
the premises. However, much our
hearts may go out in deep sympathy
for our "city by the sea-" we do not
think it would be best either for
Charleston or the State at large, for
an extra session to be called and
money appropriated for Charleston.
There is now in some sections of the
up country a feeling Of jealousy to-.
wards our metropolis, and whereas
we take no stock in any such feel
ing, we do not think an attempt to
force this measure at this time, would
tend in any way to diminish that
hostile tccling.-1bberUic MeSScngcr.

TUESDAY, MAY 4. 1856.

In connection with the late fire pretty
story comes to light A number Of the
brick buildings burned had to be levelled
because they were unsafe. The Minister
Iof Interior forwarded letters TO all owners
pf property to level their walls 1t hap
)ened that one gentleman was insured and
the agent Of the Company, before he com
piled with the order got the opinion OF
Messrs. Stirling, Lishman and Lincoln.
They pronounced the building as sounder
than when it was first put up; the brick
work having settled and consolidated.
When the Minister sent his order be
should have known what he was about.
He has at his command Superintendent
OF Public Works 1t is outrageous that a
property owner or Insurance Company
should be put to unnecessary expense be
cause an official does not know how TO do
his duty
The excuse the Minister offered was be
neath contempt He said that as he had
ordered soms buildings 10 Do taken dorm, he
could make no distinction As well might
he charge John Smith in the Police Court
- being a common nuisance, because Joe
Brown, his neighbor was guilty. Com
ment is needless.

The efforts Of Mr. Severance in San

Every firm connected with shipping, ship
building and lumber has signed a petition
in favor of the Treaty. This petition was

Il was TO be printed, and copy OF It sent

few other good men, been furthering the

We present TO day our regular monthly
summary of arrivals and departures. These
figures are most carefully kept and go
beyond the published Government figures,
in that they take note Of stowaways which
are regularly reported to our statistician.
The loss of whites during the month Of
April is a very marked one, and many who
20 to make up the number are of a class
we cannot afford to lose; we refer to the
mechanics, of whom there has been steady
exodus
II is not amiss at this present moment
to call attention to the make up of our
population. As reported by the Census
Tables of 1884, there was on these Islands
population of S0,63S souls. OF these
again according to the tables 44,232 were
natives and half-castes, while 36,406 were
foreigners of n dozen different nation
alities
Since that census was made up there
have been considerable changes. During
the sixteen months past there has been a
steady drain of whites, and we can be lit
tie out when we state that eight per cent
of the white population reported in 1884
has sought other fields.
The Asiatic population, meanwhile, has
largely increased At the endof 1884 the
Chinese resident here, were reported at
1883, during the sixteen months that
have elapsed, there has been large &C
cession. According to the Custom House
Tables 1884 showed a gain of 1890 Since
January LIST, we have had, in spite of all
regulations, an accession of 37S, making in
all total of 22,7O7 Chinese in the King
dom at the present moment. Add to these
the japanese who are now resident here,
viz: 3,0l2, and we have total of 25,719
Asiatics.
Again, add to this the population of
United States citizens, English, Germans,
French, Portuguese and other European
nationalities which doduettng S32 for loss
by departures, will be 17,011, and we have
total foreign population of 42,730.
These are significant figures and should
be well weighed by the would be legisla-
tors of the Kingdom. We give below the
figures for the month:
