Jacoii Sharp, the unfortunate Xew Yorker, who is now passing through a tedious trial for bribery, is a very old man and apparently quite feeble.

The point is well taken; the braying of the long-eared animal is for once rather previous. The trouble, however, is that as a learned counsellor he fears the precedent, thinking not without reason, that the return of spoons might come next. He knows the importance of getting in his objection in time. It will be gratifying to discover j hereafter that the people of Young's | township, in Laurens county, were i not so much excited about the anticipated uprising of negroes at that place as the sensational dispatches which newspaper correspondents telegraphed ftrvw-md wnnld indicate, since it turns out that any fears which were enter- j tained in the premises were ground-1 less. It is always well to go slow.; Doubtless there were men in the community who believed just such "blood and thunder" stuff as was reported in the newspapers, and were ready to act upon it, but it is fortunate that wiser counsels prevailed. The difficulty about regulating railroads by law arises from their almost unlimited power to obstruct?a power which would never be invoked but for this reason: the railroads arc owned and conti'oled to-day by one set of gamblers and to-nforrow by another; none of them expect to hold on permanently to the property, and hence they are inspired by no motive t)f justice. nor will thev ever pursue any policy dictated by wisdom. Their object is to make most of the situation at once. They look forward, not to the future of the corporation, but to the next "deal.7' "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die*," is the unrighteous dogma of their wicked faith. Theke is but one hope for this country, industrially, and that is in buildiffg factories for the manufacture of various fabrics, implements, etc.; our pursuits must be diversified, otherwise we are surely doomed to poverty for unlimited time. Right here at home we cannot reasonably expect any further growth until there is a change in the existing order oi things, until the area of our trade is extended oi? its volume multiplied. This is now apparent to the commonest intelligence. The time has come for the intelligent and enterprising men of the community to put their heads and pockets +ncrpthf?r and do something: the com mnnitv that sits stupidly down and waits for something to tarn up will wake np some day to find itself in the position of the sluggard who hung out for a little more slumber. We are right here in the midst of the cotton belt, within the easiest reach of the raw material; the manufacture of cotton fabrics has rewards for industry that agriculture alone cannot give.

Col Ilammetfcand several gentlemen drove out on yesterday and selected the siie for the new mill. It Is on the line of the Air Line Kuilroad about six hundred yards north of the Duncombe road. The property is owned by Col. Ilammett himself, and is close to the fair grounds and adjoining land of Dr. J. II. Maxwell. It is half a mile outside the corporate limits. The capital of the mill will be $500,000. The mill will be for the manufacture of cotton cloth and will employ about GOO hands, it will have between 20,000 and 25,000 spindles and the wages paid out will between $100,000-and $120,000 a year.?Greenville Xews. This mill is to manufacture cotton cloth and it is to be operated by steam. Greenville is pushing ahead as no other city in the State is, and vet it mast be acknowledged that its facilities for this sort of work is no greater than a number of other places in the State. But Greenville has some live men; this is the distinction. The capital to this enterprise, it is true, is largely subscribed by Northern capitalists, and this for the reason that they have a well grounded faith in the industrial future of the Mountain City. Greenville has struck out in the right direction; it is destined to be the manufacturing city of the State. l<ons: and Short Haul. We arc unable to see any good reason why the enforcement of the "iong and short haul" clause of the interState Commerce Act should have the effect of raising freights other than the j freights to "terminal points." and the j truth about the mutter is that there is 110 such reason. The scheme, indeed, may be resorted to as a policy of obstruction, wise or unwise, and for which the railroad.; must take entire responsibility. But when they have perpetrated this further outrage upon the people they will not be allowed to saddle the responsibility therefor upon upon the law. The railroad corporations are standing just now seriously in need of a little good advice; they need to have the truth whispered to them that no institution in this country which is i founded upon injustice can permanentj Iv stand. When the blind policy of I obstruction has rendered nugatory ; every effort at legislative control, I other means which we hesitate to I name will be resorted to. Institutions have changed in the past, and : they will in the future continue to , change to accommodate themselves to | the growth and progress of humanity. ? -o Conraso Ulinus Discretion. According to the Abbeville Press and Banner, the grand jury of Abbeville county has "presented" the Supreme Court of South Caroli a, and the editor of that journal rejoices at this last exhibition of matchless "courage." But, meantime, what has become of i the "eternal fitness of things?" This same Supreme Court is the highest tribunal of this once proud commonwealth, and every intelligent citizcn j of the State believes; to-cJav- that its I judgments, ngnt ana wrong, are the outcome of a fearless and unserving honesty of purpose. It is not a question of error here. The people, the whole people, have made this Court and given unto it the mantle of majesty. It should not be degraded, therefore, either by the insolence of the small official or the clap-trap of the chimney corner editor. The science of jurisprudence must grow and expand as the civilization of man advances, because all progress is from simplicity to complexity. It must meet all of the vast intricacies of life and conduct and cannot possibly be reduced to a simple formula. Tr>f nn en]{ -< )r^ninroc] f.rifie imagine ..V -V..

The reign of Victoria of half a century has been the most glorious in the history of the British Empire. It has been during tbr- period of her reign that the greatest reforms have been carried, that liberty has taken its grandest strides. The rule of the "classes" has been displaced by the rule of the masses, and England is to-day a monarchy in name but, but a republic in fact.?The i vision of Lord Chatham lias been j fairly realized through the agency of ! Mr. Gladstone and John Bright and ! other eminent men. Great as the progress of the nation has been in secular and political matters, its progress in the intellectual field has been even greater. The palm | of intellectual superiority in the liinej teenth century has bccii awarded by i all competent judges to Dritish thiukj ers. The sceptre of intellectual suI premacy which I he brilliant genius of Kant won for Germany in the latter part of the eighteenth century iius passed to tlie Anglo-Saxon through the efforts of Darwin. Tyndall, Huxley and Spencer, and other brilliant men. Upon the whole the reign of Victoria has been the proudest in British history, and the friends of liberty and progress throughout the world may send in their congratulations on the event of her jubilee. Cosninjc Santa. It is a significant fact that Northern capital is beginning to seek investment in Southern enterprises. The half million of dollars wilh which the new cotton mill at Greenville is soon to be started is for the most part subscribed k,- Vrt..j?wn This is the W.- iWiWWl- -first instance, perhaps, in which South Carolina has been able to "entertain" so large an amount of Yankee money. It is hardly reasonable to suppose, however, that this will be the last time; there are other places in the State whose facilities for the manufacture of cotton fabrics is equally as good as those of Greenville, and these things will i:i lime be found out. There are millions of dollars at the North which cannot be invested there and it will have to seek other fields, and the South now promises better returns than perhaps any other sections in the country. There is a good deal of intelligence about this thing you call "capital," however, and it will seek and find the best and most enterprising places. It will go to prosperous communities, it will go where the people are trying to do something for themselves, where there is home capital prepared to "entertain" it. We have every facility here for the j manufacture of cotton fabrics that Greenville has, and there is but one reason why we should not put up one also, and that is a want of enterprise. If fifty thousand dollars be raised here to be invested in a cotton factory, one hundred thousand to go along with ic can be easily had from other sources. Foreigners naturally put their money in enierpries which have local backing. We remind our business men again that this is a matter which should be considered. A Question of History. A "Brief History ot the United Stales/' written by Professor J. Dorman Steele, seems to be just now the cause of considerable acrimonious controversy between the members of Northern school boards. It is alleged that the book contains objectionable sentiments concerning the attitude of the South during the civil war. At a meeting recently held by Marcus L. Ward Post G. A. 11., of Newark, X. J., the following resolution was adopted: lleaolvciJ, That as citizens and veterans of the late war we protest against the consummation of this indignity to the memory of those who suffered and died at Andcrsonville and other Southern prison pens, and to the countless number sleeping in unknown graves, who gave their lives that the nation iit'A on/1 wo nlorlo-o ourselves 111V) n- - ? upoa the introduction at' said book into our public schools to withdraw* our children therefrom. Now the trouble seems to be that the book lias simply been written in an historical spirit. The endeavor of the author was to give tiie facts free from all partisan coloring. It is not surprising therefore, that its introduction into the common schools of the North should have called forth a vigorous protest. The school histories that have been published since the nr-<n? tVirtcf* fh.it. have o-aiued a footing in. Northern schools, misrepresent the South on every question that has any relevancy to the matter of -the late war, and those who entertain pleasing delusions as well as those who have been educated under bias are of course unprepared for the reception of the naked truth. But Southern school boards should see to it that such histories as find a in the schools of the South are worthy the name of history. Lor the youth of the South learn the trulh to begin with and then they will not be troubled with the disagreeable and almost impossible task of unlearning anything that they have taken pains to impress op their minds. j TO TEXAS. NUMBER SIX. Messrs. Editors: The city of Waco is located immediatly on the Brazos River, by which it is divided into two j parts known as "Waco and East "Waco. I It is supplied with all the modern city conveniences, such as street cars, water works, electric lights, gas, and telephones. East Waco was at one j time the more popular portion, but a j few years ago the river got on a boom and submerged quite a number of the houses, consequently the price of property declined very rapidly and the town "went West." Waco proper is very nicely laid out, the streets running north and south, or parallel to the river, being numbered l?t, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., according to the relative position of each from the river. The cross streets are named in honor of tnc men wno ill camei. uit\s [nuvcu themselves meritorious. The two divisions are connected by a long suspension toll bridge, also by two railroad bridges made of iron and well supported by massive pillars. *The channel of the river we would guess to about tweutv-five feet deep, on one side of which ilowed the water, while from the other, wagons and carts were being loaded with sand for building purposes. We drove in to water our horse and found found the water clear and pretty, but not deep enough to run into our buggy There sTre several parks or gardens, not very large, but in nice shady groves furnished with seats, quite a number of which were at the time of our visit occupied by couples discussing perhaps the old, old story. The cemetery is also laid off with drives and walks which were scrupulously clean, the squares being covered over with the native grass, evenly mown and kept green and flourishing bjr a liberal supply of hydrant wat^r. Quite a number of new houses are now being built, notably among which is the government building, for which Uncle Sam has appropriated a liberal donation. On several streets we noticed large gangs of workmen rolling away the small houses which had served their day, thus making room for the larger wholesale establishments which the growth of the city and country now demand. The Baylor University is also deserving of mention among the prominent sights of the city. This institution now presided over by the venerable Dr. Burleson, is owned and controlled by the Baptists of the State. These-brethren have also found it necessary to "pull j down their barn? and build greater." 1118 city Das wrowii uy au uiuuuu them until the old stand has become too crowded. In order to get more elbow room, they have recently succeeded in purchasing out of the superbs a nice shady lot of ten acres. The old pioneer home is rolled away, and its stead is now erecting a handsome, large college, which when completed wiil be an ornament to the city and the pride of the denominations. Hill's Business College as also the Waco Female College, must not be overlooked, as thev form very prominent links in the chain of educational facilities here provided. The public school buildings, seven in number, are located in the different wards, and are exactly aiike being large, firm brick buildings imposing in appearance. There is In addition a central building considerably larger in size which is intended for the more advanced pupils, or where they pat on the finishing touches to the free school education. These schools run from 9 a. in., till 12 m., and from 2 till 4 p. m., for nine months in the year, and arc supported ! by a special school tax. The children' I among other things are taught punctuj ality, one being kept in as quickly for i getting to school too soon as too "late, i We drive over the nice level streets | which are well watered out by the : homes of the "tony tolks" or big ikes of the city, who have found it profitar ble to rr.ise cattle or struck it right in buying Mud and having the town to tr\ A t loct ef Arm? nrr in front of a neat new college on 6tli street we are bidden to light, and reccive another hearty welcome from the nice, clever little lady who there presides. Our greeting was cordial as could be, everything was done that could be done to make your correspondent feel that though a long way from home, he was still among friends. With this happy family we make by invitation our home for nearly a week, and so pleasant was our stay that it will ever be remembered as an oasis on our pathway through life. Our purpo-e was to see The country rather than the city, having all our life followed the humble profession of a tiller of the soil for a livelihood. I This we were enabled to do by the assistance of the farmers and the real estate agents, a buggy ride being given us free gratis and without i cost nearly every day. A Mr. Warren, a farmer near town, came to aid + .11 tnnrnincr r>frr>r rmr HMViral and having as he said nothing to do volunteered to show us some farms for sole 011 the Bosque River. "With hiin we ride out in what appeared to us a northwesterly directiow, and soon strike a rough broken country known i as the cedar brakes. For a mile or more the land was very poor, having no depth of soil the white rock being right 011 the surface. The growth upon it consisting of cedar and some other small shrubbery, seemed to be having a hard struggle for an exisrence. The first farm we'came to for sale lay in the valley or bottoms of the Bosque. This was good, rich Ism} imnrnvftl rmlv bp bfiiiio 4V%1 l"" J o fenced and having a small cabin on it. The well or spring consisted of a barrel fixed 011 a slide, which the good man was expected to fill up at the river daily, and drag up to the backdoor for the convenience of his spouse. We met the owner, an old widow j lady, and friend Warren inquired if she still wanted io sell. "Yes," she replied, "But you can't get that farm at the price I "ofFered it awhile buck. Land has gone up everywhar." You are too late; she's heard of the rise, remarked friend W. as we parted company with the old lady. This sudden rise"was caused partly by Jay Gould, who had but recently paid the city a visit, and remarked that in his opinion the city of Waco had as bright a oe mv nlaco Iip hnr? sppn in the 1ULU11' I'"*"- ?? ? ?State. Holders of city property at once advanced the price to nearly double, and the city having taken snuff the country all around had to sneeze. We drove on to another larm, the price of which was modestly put at thirty dollars per acre, no improvements except a wire fence. Another which contained a good amount of the poor cedar brake before mentioned, was priced at forty dollars per acre, but had on it a small one story cottage. A little nearer town another farm with a small house was priced, and the owner astounded us by replying, "Not a cent less than one hundred dollars an acre will buy mine." Still a little nearer, but more than a mile from town, a small tract of teji acres was offered for two thousand dollars, if all paid in cash. Just inside the corporate limits a lot of two and a half acres unimproved was offered for three thousand dollars. Like the man who visited Birmingham, we conclud cd to wait awmie, save up our earnings and if we prospered in life we might some day return aud buy "nine luches." At friend Warren's home we found them digging a well, or rather boreing for water. The boring machine wvjs being run by a small six-horse engine, and had reached the depth of one hundred and odd feet, but no water. These well contractors charge fifty cents a foot, but guarautee water unless stopped by the owner of the premises, in which event they demand ond get pay for what has been done. This "well water when reached is to the stranger simply execrable, and we soon learned to go a srood distance out of our way for a drink ot cistfern wa^er.

(Lexington Dispatch.) Steamboats have been making regular trips up the Congaree as far as old Granbv. "The steamers Eutaw and Farmer were both there at the same time last week loading with Jstaves, turpentine, rosin, etc., for Charleston. The Three C's. (Edgerjeld Chronicle.) On Monday last the directors cf the Charleston. Cincinnati & Chicago Railroad were to meet in Baltimore. Senator Butler left our towu on Sunday morning, to be present at this meeting. Certain necessary papers signed by the late authorities of the late Georgia & Carolina Midland, with the official seal of the late company affixed, were to be produced at this meeting. Upon the production of said papers, so signed and sealed, if we understand aright, the debts of the late Georgia & Carolina Midland are to be forthwith paid by the Three C's, and work is to forthwith begin. So far as wc are informed and can see, the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago Road means business, and will not be long in completing their branch from Augusta, via Edgegeld, to Black's Station.

It could not fail to stir bitterness and give the South haters and bloody-shirt shriekers a pretext for giving "a newalarm of the South being iu the saddle and controlling the administration for its own purposes ana for the gratification of its peculiar feelings and sentiments.

Kegrulating Commerce. (Anderson Intelligencer,) The inter-State Commerce Comrnisi sion has made a remarkable ruling j upon the subject of suspending seci tioi^fonr of the Act regulating com[.H^erceijetween the States. The sec lien was temporally suspended, and the commission gave an extended hearing to the parties interested in Washington, Atlanta, Mobile and Xcw Orleans, after which they have made a decision that does not decide. The gist of their conclusion is that each carrier must judge for itself what was the "substantially similar circumstances and conditions*' which pre elude the special r.?te, rebate or drawback, which is made unlawful by the second section, since no tribunal is empowered to judge for it until after the carrier has acted, and then only for the purpose of determining whether its action constitutes a violation of the law. The carrier judges on peril of the consequences, but the special rate, rebate or drawback which it grants is not illegal when it turns out j that the circumstances- and conditions : were not such as forbid it. In other i words, the commission declines to act, ! except upon special cases made. The | result of this will be to put the conse-! quences of an error of judgment, even | upon the common carrier. It is pro- j bable, therefore, that the railroads! will not take the responsibility of de-! ciding, and will make all rates con- i Ka lAnn- ltoiil r?l?mCO 1UI iH IU iVIli 1*LJIL .-UUU 11UU1 VIMU..V of the Act. Under the operation of j this decision freights throughout the South will, in all probability, be considerably raised. A Groundless Alarm. (Greenville JS~ew-i.) The Augusta Chronicle prints a somewhat sensational special from Laurens to the effect that the negroes neat* Cedar Grove, in that county, have organized under the Hoover system, and are holding midnight.meetings, threatening to demand a dollar a day wages for f:irm labor, and declaring their purpose to kill all the white people. It is also stated that the white people of the neighborhood have organized a cavalry company for their own protection, with Dr. John A. Westmoreland as captain. The C'hroniclc is taking the risk of causing serious harm toL iurc ">unty and this State by printing such matter under startling head lines. People outside will naturally accept its statements as indicating a serious and threatening condition of affairs and be timid of putting their persons or monev in a section where there is danger of wholesale slaughter. We hftvn investiorntfjfi this matter with some earc. The facts are that an organization has been formed among the white people as a measure of abundant caution, but so far as we can learn by diligent inquiry there seems to be no real cause for it. The Cooperative Workers have been organized in various parts of Laurens and Spartanburg, and the white people, being unfamiliar with labor organizations, have allowed themselves to be troubled by the novelty. Speculations have grown into rumors of the wildest kind, but they cannot be traced to any A MA nnf rrni^AVolltr UUI1I1HU bU'llUU UIJU UiU WVl ? | accepted as truth. There is 110 general alarm and the subject is discussed in a halt humorous way. No more placid and tranquil neighborhood can be found in the j world than that of Cedar Grove toj day* A Sensible View. (Columbia Recnrf.) Along with the ravings of tfsirchild, the silly protestations of Fo raker, and ! the noisy monthings of several of the smaller fry, it is very comforting to Jii.d in a great newspaper like the Philadelphia Times the following: "Some of the political leaders of j the organized soldiers of the North have become as frantic over this proposition as if a new armed rebellion had broken out and was about to plunge the country into bloody war again. The President, seeing that his very proper purpose had given offense to the weaker brethren, and doufcting, 011 consideration, the extent of his authority, has had the manly courage to recall his proposition, and it may be hoped that this ridiculous flurry will subside. "In point of fact, there is nothing to flurry about. If both sides are sensi1 i})AII* J MIC Clltmgtr v..v.. .. : of the war in shape of captured bat| tie-flags, it/would be highly creditable j all around; but if there are objections on either side, let. the flags alone. They arc harmless now, whether in Washington, Harrisburg or liic'nmond; the issues they represented are inexorably settled and universally accepted, and the flags can remain in j one place as well as another. "The ancients Greeted of wood the monuments to celebrate their victories in civil wars, while their monuments to commemorate victories over hostile nations were of stone or enduring metals. They intended that the mementoes of civil war should perish with the wars they celebrated, while their victories over other people should j stand for all time. They were wiser than the demagogues 01 to-ciav, wno seem to have no higher ambition than to keep in pc-rpcttial glow the embers of fraternal strife. "Senator Sumner was the first of our American statesmen to repeat the wise counsels of the ancients by his proposition in the Senate to efface the name of every battle-field from" the fla?s of the victorious soldiers of the Union. In the sudden ebullition of sectional hate that followed the proposition when the wounds of the conflict were yet fresh in every home, the Massachusetts Legislature passed resolutions of censure; but a subsequent Legislature, in the cool reason of equal patriotism, expunged the censure from the records. "If the soldiers of the blue and the gray want to exchange captured battle-flags, let them do so; if they want to keep them, let the flags remain where they are?for neither the keepi?or nor the exchanging will revise a ! line of history, or lessen or enlarge the heroism under both Hags that is now confessed as the grandest of the world." Let us hope that these brave and fust sentiments are also (hose of the Northern people. Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wliolesomeness.

It appears that a Mrs. King Lad been suffering for many years from some disease of the stomach, which had resisted the j treatment of all the physicians 1 in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de- j rangement of the digestion, j with a poor appetite, followed j by a peculiar indescribable dis- ; tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a j sticky slime collecting about j the teeth, causing a disagree- I able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky? j a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and languid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to retain any food whatever, and there was co:vtant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed remedies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patient's life an operation was justifi able. Accordingly, oil the 2 2d of February, 1883, the operation was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Terrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. H::lli\yeii of the Police Board. The operation consisted in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and Louvls. When this had been done an examination of the organs was made, but to the horror ami dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The patient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made terrible ujiatukc; "but " sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they Lad made, but the poor woman, sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours.
