THE CITY BY THE SEA.

A Phosphate Decision which Brings JOY
to Many Victims-The IO-cent Circus
Business.
CHARLESTON, March A decision
was filed in the Court of Common Pleas
to-day in the case OF the Marine and
River Phosphate Company which will lit
burden from the shoulders of many of
the best and most substantial men in the
business community of Charleston. The
Marine and River company has been a
source of infinite woe to many Charleston
men. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
were spent in the effort to keep the COM
pany up. but bank uptcy finally overlook
IT, and the present suit was brought to
establish the liability of the stockholders
Jointly and seVerally for all the debts OF
the company. The court accedes that the
stockholders are only liable to the extent
of 10 per cent. OF the stock which they
may hold. The decision causes great re-
joicing amongst the stockholders, not
withstanding the fact that the case will
doubtless be carried to the Supreme
Court.
One of the phenomenal successes of the
year is that of 10-cent circus which was
organized here short time ago, and
which has been playing to crowded tents
during the week. 1t starts off on a tour
next week. The outfit was purchased by
Charleston capitalists, who saw money in
it, and the actors were engaged North.
There have been four 10-cent circuses
here this season, and all of them have
coined money. Two or three sharp busi-
ness men here caught on TO the idea and
determined TO go into the circus business.
The outfit cost them about $4,000, l am
told, and their weekly expenses are about
$500. Their first weeks receipts in
Charleston will aggregate over $4,000.

Practical" Legislation

Our Alexandra contemporary says /;
"Tbe Gazette is gratifed to observe
in some OF its wisest and most conserva-
tive State exchanges steadily-growing
disposition to take practical view of
the subject of the State debt, and con-
sequently to oppose a continuance Of
the vain and injurious attempts Of the
Legislature to obstruct and delay the
inevitable"
Well, let us see what this "practical
view" is. We quote from the same
paper;
"The wisest course she can pursue
under the circumstances will be for her
to confer with the holders thereof, OBJ
tain the offer of the most favorable
terms they are willing to make, and
accept them without more ado"
There's a "practical" proposition.
Governor KEMPER tried it. Governor
HOLIDAY tried it. The bondholders
sent to Richmond in 1879 their agents,
and our Governor and Legislature Sc
cured the "most favorable terms they
could-namely, the terms Of the Nc
CULLoCH bill. But when the people
came to pass upon that "practical "
scheme, it disappeared beneath the
waves. Where is that practical
scheme now? That plan proposed
8, 4, and 5 per cent. The RID.
DLEBERGER bill allows 3 per cent,
Who is to decide as to what is q
practical" plau9 And what if the
bondholdeis refuse to agree to any set.
Element which the voters of Virgins
will agree to? Are we to "accept
without more ado" any settlement the
bondholdeTs may offer? Better return
to the McCULLocH bill. We would
like to see the Gazette man running fol
the Legislature on his "practical
platform.

awarded to the country. Is the evil
less in the city? Is the dis
tress Of q city mother less than that Of
a country mother when the son is

tlemen, rest assured your country will
not be satisfied with such view as
will give an affirmative answer to these
questions. Has not the population Of
large cities as many rights as that Of
rural districts? Is. it true that our
cities are to be told that the Legisla-
ture will force license upon them, even
though nineteen twentieths Of the popu-
lation wish the abatement Of the evil ?
If there be no public sentiment in any
one city to ask for an election, the desired
law does not call for it. If there be
such public sentiment will the Legisla-
ture say /" You shall not have the same
privilege as we give to the country ~?
We trust not. To the Senate we look,

turn 10 the House such bill as will be

card from DIR. Garland.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
am requested to ask the publication
in the Dispatch Of the action Of the
Methodist ministers Of Lynchburg on
the subject Of local option, which is
herewith enclosed.
The exemption of cities from the
operations Of local option is contrary to
the action of the Virginia Conference at
its session in November last, and no one
is authorized to say that the Methodist
Church favors such exemption.
Very respectfully,
j. POWELL GARLAND.

LOCAL OPTIoN.-Claiming the right
to express our opinions on all subjects
affecting the peace and good order Of
society, and the moral welfare and hap.
piness Of the people to whom we min
ister, and recognizing it as a duty to
aid in all moral movements as far as we
may have opportunity : therefore
Resolred, That we heartily approve
the effort now being made to correct
the evils of intempersnce by the enact
ment of local-option law for the whole
State of Virginia, including cities, and
believe that it is based on principle
in harmony with the genius and spirit
of our civil government, and is in &C
cordance with the unanimous action Of
our respective Annual Conferences at
their late sessions.
