ON TO CHICK JO. Charleston was agog ln?t week with a railroad convention. Many delegates from the. interior took advantage of half fares to have a pleasant little-spree to ' Charleston. They were hospitably received by the jobbers and traders. They took a trip to Fort Sumter and Morris' Xsland and were shown all the sights. St. Michaels's bells were jintrled for them jr.? and thev were promenaded on the Bat* 7$-, ^ tery. Thev were dined and wined by the Board of Trade. They could not fail " i to have a good time, were doubtless very ;<; willing to pat all their Chaileston enter. tainers on the back and wish them all the luck imaginable. These fanners, nierchiutsanJ lawyers fro.n the interior were: quite willing to believe that there was enough water in the bcautifa! bay to float any vessel, and as they heard nothing about the bar in frout of it, they f? luadc no inquiries. Besides these rural sightseers there were a lew railroad uien, who would like to raise a few thousand dollars in Charleston to ail them in tnakiug their preliminary surveys in the I mountain region this winter. These were quite effusive of the "sacred memories,'' etc. They love Charleston and Charleston ought to love them and a 1 them. We hope all were pleased. We hope Charleston will shell out liberal!'-. Tlu building of an air line railroad from Chicago to the South Atlantic is one of those things which are certain to ocIcur. Such a load must enter Soutli Carolina, and pass through her whole extent. That its terminus will be Charleston is preposterous. It might as well be Geo-gctown. Bat it cannot but help f Charleston incidentally. What the West needs, what Chicago and Cincinnati demand, is a deep water harbor through which can be shipped the products of the western fields. Xot a river town like Savannah, nor a barred entrance liko that of Charleston, will meet this demand. When her railroad men met in council neither place was mentioned. " The charts showed these practical men where to look for what they wanted and thty found it at l'ort lloyal, and nowhere else, lferc they found deeper water at low tide tide than Charleston claims at high tide. Here they found a harbor spacious, easy of access and deep enough forail the requirements of commerce for the present and for the future. For here can enter as large a vessel as cuu go to the docks of Liverpool Or London. Cju.-cqnently when the president of the Chicago and South Atlantic railroad visited the south to stir up a feeling in aid of his enterprise he came direct to Port Royal, satisfied himself that all he had heard of it was true and left for home without even going to Savannah or Charleston at a'l. As we have bofore said : All roads once led to Rome, because there centered all that men 1 .n nmr .>11 mule f; W.'IUICU 111 IUV nvi.u, .tv ..vi., seeking an outlet lor western produce, let them come via A.-heville and the French Broad, through SVsafrns or through Hal i n Gap, they all tend to Port Royal, because here alone can they have what they seek, a i?Ki:t' watkk HARBOR OS T'.IK SOfTII ATLANTIC COAST. Another Seuthcrn State (lone. Texas has been carried by the democratic party by over forty thousand majority. After reconstruction Texas like Georgia, Arkansas, Virginia, Xortli Oaroliua, West Virginia. Missouri and Tennessee elected republican state officers. A large number of white citizens were willing to give the new party a trial and uuited with the colored element easily carried these states. If the r. puMieans had given tlietn good, honest, economical governments, there was every probability that the rule of that party would have strengthened and bc?.u permanent; but iu those states the sauic course of reckless expenditure which has characterized the ruleof the party in this state, has resulted iu drawing fr on it all the nixl i*i 1, i.t wliich Inn] been at first attached to it. I) Teat lias overtaken the party and on -e in power the democracy will wi cly provide against future contingencies. South Carolina rulers are preparing the way fV-r a similar rovulsion, and they too will find that onee hurled from power they will never regain it. Sew Comities. The Edgefield Adriiii.*r understandthat at the present sessiou of the South Carolina legislature an application i\ii! lamade for the form iti >n of two new comities* One of these ??w counties will bo composed of a corner from eacli of the - - four counties of KdgefioM.

The ini- 'y porta nee of tins harbor for military and naval pur|>oscs. and the commercial Vj promineriec which necessarily follows nnt- jjjj ural advantages should enlist your care.- |:lu est attention. The Government during j the la'e war upon the recommendation of q the U. S Direct Tax Commissioners re- j served eligible sites within the harbor for j1(i military and naval purposes. The lmtlcr- tj ies built prior to the late war are totally j destroyed, and those erected during the j? 1 war for harbor defences were abandoned and destroyed, leaving the largest and (0-.( most capacious harbor on the South Atlantic Const defenceless, and its trade, q its rapidly growing commerce and its citi- ^ zens subject to destruction ly ft reign war. { The completion of the Port Royal rail- ^Uj road from the deep water of Port Royal harbor to Augu. ti, also connecting this ^ harbor with the great railroads of the ^, west and southwest, has created it the great avenue of commerce to the high? r spo way of nations, for those two sections of ^a(] the United States. The established lines , .... , . ? and of European steamers now plyiug from this harbor, its coastwise ami foreign ship- ^ ping are established facts, and the safety and welfare of citizens, demand at your ^ hands suitable consideration. ^} And your petitioners will as in dutv v 1 lOi bound ever prnv. ? 8 kin Irreverence. con Brother Johnson has again fallen from car] Grace.

T Harbor Kooin. hro Mr. Lawrence, first officer of the steam- nee ship Texas, remarked to us on Friday hie last, that the capacity of the river oppo* rail; site the railroad dock, had been through T an accident, subjected to a test, of its or i capacity, which few oilier- harbors could stre have so successfully stood.

The Texas is a new steamship, If at Dunbarton. Scotland, in 1872. j is 350 feet long, will carry 2200 tons freight, has good accomodations for sengcrs, draw.?, when fully loaded uty-two feet of water, and is in all rccts a first class vessel. She met with I weather in trying to reach our port I got ashore south off Tybee.

Some tilings Needed. 'ho arrival of the steamship Texas ught into view some things which d attention at once by those rcsponsifor the conduct of business on the road dock. 'here should at once be provided two nore bouys securely anchored in the am opposite the dock to which ships ,* attach lines to aid them in swinging i or away from the dock. Wind and are sometimes adverse and such aids ate and speedy movement arc indis sable. mother thing is to remedy a strange r-iglit in the completion of the rail" 1 dock. No posts have been left in ding it to which hawsers can he cited. There is not a ring fqr the pose on the dock. It was a rather ising sight to see the captain of a -el hacking holes in the plunk through eh to pass his rope, when tying up the wharf. The indignant sailor ted that "a d?tied land lubber who n't know a dock from a 1mm floor, or hale from a mill-dam cat-fish, must e built the wharf." hen, too, there was a lamentable it of attention in not being ready i a berth for the Texas. With eight idred feet of dock room there was no use lor making her wait, and then uglier only the small space sli got. rything ought to bend to make the ; visits of these steamers pleasant, , and cheap. Iby a little foresight good judgement the other vessel Id have been moved in time so that steamer could have conic to her h, discharged and got away many rs sooner than she did. Someone aid he in charge who knows the lirenients of commerce in this and >r respects.

On Monday, in the federal hou-c of representatives. Maynard, of Tennessee, from the committee on rules, reported a bill removing all disabilities imposed and remaining on any person by the third section of the fourteenth article of the amendments to the constitution, and substituting, for the iron clad oath the modified oath now administered to persons from whom disabilities have been removed. Lawrence, of Ohio, asked ? j ? i 7,.<r e?.. wiieuiur, uuuur iuat law, ?jciicimhi j/u vis might not obtain a scat in cither house. G. F. Hoar inquired whether the committee on rules had a right to report .such an act of general legislation. The speaker doubted very much whe h >r that committee had a right to report it except under a call. Hoar said he would not insist on the point. Bu'ler. of Massachusetts. said that he would. Maynard moved to suspend the rules and to icccivc and pass the bill. In reply to to Lawrence s question, be said that the late president of the Southern Confederacy might as well as the vice-president have a seat in cifli T'llouse, provided the people should think proper to send hint, Butler, of Massachusetts, said he would not object to the bill if it bad been examined by and was reported from if committee. Maynard said it was the unamimous report of the committee, and the billwis then passed by a vote of one hundred and forty-ne to twenty-nine.
