They are doing no service and without organization are incapable of doing any. It is not until they have assembled, x 1 " , ^ ' elected a speaker, and been arranged in committees, that they can enter upon the work of legislation. If Congress does not meet until the usnal 1 time in December, in the light of maprecedents little or nothing can be expected of it until the beginning of next year, for it is well known 'hat no Congrees has attempted to do any real work until after the holiday recess. An extra session is always unpopular and the President is anxious of course, to avoid it, but iu order that some of the important legislation to come up during the next year may be matured in time, it is thought to be the only 'alterative. * Those whose counsel is frequently sought at the White House now s^y ' that the contemplated extra session would begin about the first of October and run along iuto the regular session, and that the questions of revenue and taxation would receive attention first. Another reason why it i9 deemed expedient to make the Fiftieth Congress take advantage of extra time is I the fact that the next year will be devoted largely to President making. Although it seems but yesterday since Mr. Cleaveland was inaugurated, rrol rtnlrr fiffcon mnrdha frnm nnw I will the National Convention be held to nominate his successor.

Considering all this, the friends of tho Administration feel that the President * would be entirely justified in promoting the chances of legislation which the bublic interests demand by the call of an extra session. President Cleveland's care and industry in reading all bills, great and small, and examining them personally before signing his name to them, has been criticised as an unnecessary assumption of labor on the part of the Chief Executive. It is quite certaiu Mr. Cleveland has taken more pains in thic respect than any of his predecessors, and it cannot be said that any of his assistants ever wrote his signature to enacted laws, this responsibility he never delegated to a member of his Cabinet even in the case of unimportant bills. On the 4th of March, 1885, when I Mr. Arthur and his Cabinet arrived at the Capitol and entered the Presidents room where, on the tables, in , i<*v the bills to which his signature was to be affixed,- one pt?u for the President was not enough Half a dozen more pens W6re called / ^ for, the door was locked (the in. augnration ceremonies were then vyaitiug) and in a remarkable short } space of time every one cf the bills J | had Mr. Arthur's name to it.

Bg^Brangeburg and Lewiedde BHKilroad and its Eelations to WM Charleston?A Visit-from a Committee of the Eif rectors. Tuero is no doubt that there is about to be a railroad boom iD Charleston. On the Bay, on the wharves, on Broad street and on the other marts of trade everybody is talking railroad, because even body realizes that of Charleston uepeods in a gnj I^Aeastiie upon her railroad oonue&frefis. There is not much of a flourish of trumpets to speak of, but every day or so some oue or some committee arrives here, goes arotfnd among toe merchants and capitalists, talks railroad and departs the next day* with a solid and substantial evidence of Charleston's interest in their enterprise in the shape of a liberal subscription to the capittft stock. The Ne.ics and Courier has published the outlook aod prospeels of two very important railroad enterprises?the Bl^okville aod Prosperity, and the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroads. Representatives of both these lines were in tLucity, and both reported that they were thoroughly satisfied with the practical sympathy they had received from Charleston merchants and capi talists. " * The Orangeburg and Lewiedale Railroad was chartered by the Legislature at the session of 1885. An amendment was secured to its charter in 188G. Under the charter the company was authorized to organize wheD $25,000 cf the capital stock had been paid in. At Ibis date $40,000 of stock has been taken by private subscriptions in Orangeburg and LssiDgton counties, and $00,000 will be subscribed by townships along the line *>f the road. The proposed route of the road and its connections will be seen by the map published below : ^ Who JtLi > Qui W ma: Tv U-i ijf? O Ij-' if _U ,; SummervffTey a com n Q y. It will be seen that the buildiug o the road will give an air line fronc Charleston to Greenville, and b< about fifty miles shorter than an] other line. "The advantage of this," say President Barkloy, "can hardly b understood except by a careful stud; of the Inter-State Commerce Act re cently passed by Congress. Unde the provisions of that Act all freigh as well as passenger rafes, are to b charged for by the distance. Th completion of the Orangeburg an Lewiedale Road to Newberry wi shorten the distance to Charlesto fifty miles at least, and will briDg t this port at least 1 "50,000 bales < cotton that is now Lauled to Norfol and other points, and which cann< - oo uauieu mere alter me Uduj.i?iiv of this road. Besides this it wi open up to Charleston a rich and fe tile section of country iu OraDgebnrj Lexiugton and Newberry countie which i3 now practically shut oi from Charleston.

It will be equal fifty miles at cents a mile cne way The new road has been snrvpyi from Orangeburg to Lewiedale T.ovinnrfnn nnnnfv. a distance of fj iy-seven and a half miles. The su vey has been finished and the road projected is an air line. From Le iedale the road will run in a etraig line to Newberry, where it will co nect with the Newberry and Laure ! Railroad, which runs in a straig j line to Greenville. At Newberry ' connection will also be formed wi i the contemplated road which will ri ! from Newberry to Black's Station, > !
