Tnt: effort of a Chicago man to bay the old Libby prison in Richmond for exhibition purposes tails forth the indignant protest of the whole South. Theke is some talk among Republicans of running Gen. Sheridan for President. He wili run on his military record alone, for he has no other. The Panama Canal, if it ever reaches completion, wiil save 10,000 miles in distance between Europe and the Pacific ports. Its length is to be forty-six miles. Tlie original estimated cost is over $132,500,000, but enough has been done to show that the estimate is too low. The river and harbor committee has recommended $350,000 appropriation for Charleston harbor. If all the har* - oil t.irt lilfla OOl'S 111 U1U UUU1U1 > iiuu till ...... creeks get proportionate appropriations and the Blair bill goes through the question of a large surplus will be effectually disposed of. There have been six bills introduced in Congress for the repeal of the-internal revenue system?four by Eepublicans and two by Democrats. Nine bills for the repeal of the tobacco taxes have been introduced?six by protectionists and three by tariff reformers. There are also bills for Ihe . reduction or partial repeal of ihe s~ & ? tobacco taxes. The Charleston World is not a free trade journal; it is a protectionist. It also attempts to start a Hill boom in this State in opposition to Cleveland. The World will have to hammer these N? two irons from early morning until late at night if it ever gets them hot in this State. It there are two things that the people of this State favor more than others it is free trade and Cleveland. It is statea that one of the objccts of Jay Gould's visit to Europe v."as to form a gigantic trust with the Rothchilds to control the markets ol Europe ami America of all produeis produced directly from the earthespecially minerals and oils. It is said that a "diamond trust" will be the first thing in order. As long as they confine themselves to diamonds they will be the source of very little trouble to this part of the world. A new industry in the South dtvelopes another use for pine needles besides the use they are generally put to. One product of these needles is a strong oil, claimed to possess valuable medicinal properties; another is pine <:wool," which is bleached, dyed and woven, and is a valuable moth dc stroyer when employed as carpe: lining. From these needies is alsc made a strong, cheap matting adapted for halis, stairways and offices. The industry is chiefly confined to North Carolina. Mrs. C. E. E. Drayton, widow o the late editor of the Aiken Recorder Col. Chas. 12. R. Drayton, will here after conduct that paper. In her announcement, among other thing?, she says : Remember, dear friends, that s fnmott ic r*AW trvintr with Gad'? help and guidance, to fill the place 01 f ather and mother to her young family, Subscriptions will be gladly received i n whatever shape or form they may be offered. We feel sure this tender appeal will touch a responsive chord in the hearts of the people of Aiken. The great Heading Railroad strike, which has done so much to advance the price of coal, has at la?t endod b> the men returning to work at the old hneis nntil a conference can beheld with the company. The Congressional committee, which has been investigating the causes of the stiike, found the railroad officials very convenient!} ignorant about almost everything connected with the road or the coal mines, and several sensational incidents have occurred. Several times Chairman Tillman and other members and the x Reading officers grew severely personal. The Inter-State Commerce Commission has recently rendered a decision the case of Pastor Heard, colored, of Charleston, against the Georgia Railroad Company, that colored people paying first-class fare must have first-class accommodations. The Commission says that in compelling Heard to. travel in a car of inferior accommodations, one-half of which was assigned the negro passengers, the other half being- used as a smoker, the railroad violated the third section of the Inter-State Commerce Act. This decision affects in no way the right railroads have to separate white and colored passengers. The only point made is that both races must have equal accommodations for the same money. Xew States, Among the prospective "new States are the territories qfjQaketaa, Washington and New Mexfeo. The * House committee has reported favorably 011 an enabling act to admit these territories to the Union. All of these' territories lor several years have beeu knocking at the door for admittance, but on party grounds their applications have been been refused. The territory of Dakota wants to divide itself into a northern and south ern State, but n it. gets in at an it will have to conic in as a whole. The ^ Republicans are opposed to the entrance of Dakota as a whole, but a \ bill introduced to admit the southern s Jialf was laid on the table. Washiugtou and New Mexico have hitherto been Deinocratic. The bill admitting ^ these territories will undoubtedly pass the House, but its fate in the Senate is not certain. Tiie -Sribe" liili. ] The Blair bill Iiass passed the Senate ] by a vote of GO to 20. Four members ' were paired. The vote o:i the bill was a great surprise to iis friends. It . *? i ii A J { shows that the more ii is aiscusseu um i I greater will be the opposition to it. ! Two years ago only eleven votes were cast against it, but the change of sen- j timent since then has been very tie- i cided. Southern Senators generally j favored (he bill, and the amendment j offered by Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, j that the title be changed so as to read, ! "A bribe to the States to relinquish the rights of self-government," was j peculiarly cutting. The vote in the Senate will have great influence i-i the House, and white it has never been claimed that j I the bill would pass the House, it is j not difficult to predict that it will be buried when it comes before that body. Senator Hampton voted with the majority and Senator Butler with the opposition. We are sure that the j Democratic Senators who voted fer ; the abomination will sooner or later j see that their action was totally in j variance with the principles of their party. Foreign Affairs. It is hard to make a forecast of events in Europe. From the correspondence which every Sunday appears 1 ?~ f.. , TV...K.1 ill UlC cmiiy papeii, iivus uktuu, j giving a general review of the situation one is bewildered from week to week to know exactly what is going to happen. One week we read and anticipate war in a lew day?, while the next shows everything as peaceful as a lamb. The great topic now is Bismarck's speech in the Reichstag. Some say it means war and others say It means peace, and we are like the - Dakota Judge, who told the jury that if "you believe the defendant's counsel, the prisoner is not guilty, and if you believe the other side, he is. Rut if you are like me, and don't believe either, I'il be blanked if I know what your verdict ought to be." But it may be safe to predict that countries which keep such large standing armies must sooner or later go to war?if for nothing else than to give . fim'n loi-iw 4i.-i.1u>:; of men something i to do. It is generally agreed, how- j ever, that Bismarck's speech is a good f opportunity for Russia, to back down ; from her warlike attitude. In Ireland the Government's Coer; cion Act :ieit"ncr suppresses or frightens ; anybody. Irish patriots have been ; imprisoned because they disregarded ; law? that Englishmen woald trample i under foot. The reign of terror in this unhat>py country will no doubt b: soon extinguished. . I Primary Elections. The Laurcnsviiie Ilerald is it: favor of electing by the primary plan all officers from Governor to Coroner. F>on't we have enough elections already? We fail to see how a primary for Governor and State officers (/ftnil T!i(? r-rrnvsntioii | plan is the most expeditious, and we fail to see how any good could be done to the business interests of the State. 1 Elections, primary or otherwise, necessarily .bring- with them an undue c amount of interest and excitement, which well-nigh paralyzes business. ' Even in the small matter of county primaries, not only is everything given up to it, unt il often creates discord among the people. This discord will not bo lessened by a State primary, . but will be more likely increased, f j Aside from these considerations is not . i o cftiirwilinn oWfr?rl hv fhfi 1">eot>Ie. - J - ,, ?- X -, | and will they not generally express the wishes of their constituents? I This is generally the case. There is . as much opportunity for wire-pulling, j log-rolling and trading in a primary as in a convention. The chief objec-! i tion that we have to the primary sys- J ' tem is the number of elections it brings forth. While as a matter ot ^ county interest we arc inclined to ^ favor it still when it comes to a State ^ affair we are bound to oppose it. The ' plan was tried in Georgia in the memorable Gordon-Bacon contest, and created more iil-feeling amoi-g~ the ' j Democrats o: mac state uiau u,. uju ? two men had been of different parties. J Xot. only is the convention plan 1 more expeditious, bat it has an equal ! advantage with the primary in ex" pressing the true will cf the people, from the fact that or.lv delegates who will express this will are sent to a convention. v r?Ir. .Letter. Mr. Blaine's letter to the chairman ; of the Republican Executive Commit> tee declining to let his name be used before the Convention as a Prcsiden tial candidate created great surprise and amazement among politicians. Mr. Blaine stated in his letter that he desired to be at rest and did not wish . any more to t>e put to the trouble and J vexation of another campaign. Not-1 withstanding his plain words of j : declination there is great diversity of opinion among politicians as to whether he really meant what he said. Mr. Blaine has always had the reputation of being a very shrewd man, full of! resources. Ilis desire to b e President J has never been denied. Nine-tenths ' | of the Republican party are followers I f nf the Plumed Kni<rht. and the nonl-1 | nation is within his grasp if he desires j it. These facts lead some to think that his letter is "all buncombe" and i is an adroit bid for the nomination, j He knows he is the strongest man in 1 the party, and he hopes that bv his : temporary withdrawal to demonstrate j the weakness of his competitors in the | party and thus make them unite upon j him. | It" his letter is sincere, and he will i not accept p. nomination, it looks asif! i the Democrats would hare somp work to do. Tfcey have ail along thought j that Blaine would be the nominee, j and that De could be defeated more i ! easilv tnan auv otner man. ii me j * * Republicans nominate a man .upon j whom Mugwumps and regular lie- ; publicans can unite, the road to vie-! tory, although certain, wiH be mnch ! i % % ssxirca.. fit ii i II lacBaan?? sarder to climb. There is one thing, nowever, upon which the country may jongratuiavu itself i:: case Blaine will not run. The campaign this year will hardly descend lo one of personal abuse and vulgarity as that of 1SS4. It is more than probable, then, that the campaign wiil be fought on the line of nnlim-. :ind the Democratic nartv can look upon this with a great degree of satisfaction. Immigration. It is extremely gratifying to notice the numerous applications that are pouring into *hc State for information concerning the resources of the State. The applications for the most part are from men with capital; from those who, dissatisfied wiin the unbearable cold of the Northwest, ars seeking to find the advantages of a cheap and fa'-filn If.nrl wifh fiio further ad vantages of salubrious and delightful climate. The advantage of this class of immigrants is that they arc by no means of the dependent class. The pauper immigrants who swarm to this country from the crowded cities of Europe rarely pass the groat cities of the North. They are stranded there. It is the enterprising and well to do that _aro not content to settle down until they have seen the relative advantages of the different sections ol the country. We arc giad to'see that the Department of Agriculture shows sucb praiseworthy zeal in answering the inquiries made concerning South Carolina. There is many a man in the State, and not a few in Fairfield ttvantv. who would be much better ofl if he coukl lose half of his land outright. The other half cultivated with double the care would more than repay him. Who can doubt, tiien, th< advantages of a sale of land to indus trious and enterprising men? Now is the lime to strike. The severe weathei of the Northwest has caused many eyes to turn longingly towards tlx sun-kissed savannahs of the South. The tide once started the battle is won Those of. our land-owners who hav( land that they can dispose of shouk seek to put themselves in coinmunica tion with purchasers. The price; should be put down as low as possible The increase of industrious, activ< n;cii will more than compensate foi any reduction of pricc. A little com mon-sensc enterprise at this time wil bring a irreat reward to the people o the State. ( What's fJ?e flatter With You? Th:: Co'uinbia Register, under th< e;:p:ion, "Binh el'a Feather," says "The Winnsboro News and IIekali appears to endorse the Charlestoi Sunday Bud^ers detraction of Colum bia. Patent outside and ready-prin ;iniu :ir. like birds Of J ju""'"iv j- , feather, to flock together." Z\o matter how it "appears*' to thi | "pencil-pusher" of the llegister, as h< calls himself, the fuct_ remains tha | The News and IIeiuld has not yet | under Hie present management o: | under former ones, so far as we kuow lent a helping hand to the detraetioi of the progress in any town 4n tin State. ' ~jJP We are always rejoiced to see evi donees of progress anywhere in thi State, and especially in Columbia, oui next door neighbor. As a matter o fact, there has not been one schenii sc-i on foot in that city looking to it: industrial development that we havi not in some way commended. Hov we then appear to endorse any detrac tion of Columbia does not very clear!? appear. There was a short editoria squib in our columns on Saturday which simply stated what the Budge had said. The short comment in thi: paper (if this is the article referred to; was a mild attempt at sarcasm, but w< ! presume the dull comprehension o the pencil-pusher of the Register pre | vented him from seeing the delicat< sarcasm intended. One of our correspondents also, ii the same issue, referred to the report: of certain missionary lectures in Co lurabia, and how a "certain" pape: had a "fall report of what the mis siocaries had said about Japan, bu barely a word about the other meet ing"? a meeting looking to develop ment. Our correspondent may hav< referred to the Register. We knovi not. If he did, the "Register ought t< kno"w that we are not responsible fo: the opinio*.- of our corresponden about it, or anything else, unless w< endorse his language. We are for "Winnsboro first, last aw : all the time, but for be it from us to advance her interests or that of an} other place by running down another especially oar capital city. Finally, as to the fling about patent outsides and ready-print, we think it useless tc notice it, but in reply we would refei the Register to its own third page. ?At Charleston the river phosphate companies have at length come tc some sort of an agreement as to the price of rock, but it is doubtful if il will amount to much, as there is nc penalty attached to the violation oi the agreement.

The sales of commercial fertilizers this year are greater than they have ever been, and the factories and dealers have more than they can fill.

Editors: I have read with much interest the extract quoted iu I tlifi tA witit* rnlnohlo nonftl" IsllKs it.Ol 1.70UL- Vi J WUI IlUUUi/tV from the Manufacturers' Record, on "Southern emmigration", and think | that in your editorial comment thereJ on that you struck the right key. The resources of the South in general aud ot South Carolina 111 particular have not been duly advertised. The Legislature some years ago authox*ized the Agricultural Department to print and issue a "Hand-Book of South Carolina." This was doue, but upon tne lucus a nan lucenao pnuci- j pie, for the work is anything but a "Hand-Book," except in name. It is certainly a valuable collection of scientific information, and would be both useful and ornamental in the library of some student or statesman; and it does contain, among other things, a most magnificent review of the natural resources <>t the State; but as an advertising medium it is an utter failure. Life is too short and time too valuable to ihe man seeking a new home, to wade through all the mat er , contained in the "Hand-Book" in - - >??j- Uoni; oruer i<J get iiiiuiuiauuu tia iu <uv.anties. The "Hand-Book" is a valuable ^ work for the library of the scientific student or statesman?it is not a handbook from which the immigrant can , get information as to the best place to settle. This is what is needed, and 1 there are many men in the State com: petent to get up a publication which will supply this long felt want. A > small pamphlet neatly gotten up, con[ taming a concise, clear cut and closely written statement of the natural re^ sources of the State, information as to the lines of railroads and the cities i and towns and villages located ou thpsfi roads, the educational advantages of each place, the ruling price of lauds * and their adaptability to certain crops, - and information as to the industrial 5 enterprises going on in each locality, . would be sufficient. Let this pamphlet be broadcasted over the North and Northwest, and it would soon attract i desirable citizens?not the ragtag vnd bobtail of the North; not the scum, skimmings and scrapings of Europe, ' but good, substantial, intelligent and ' hardworking American citizons. The I ragtag element is caught by the emi. - /i ...J / . t_ _ . grant agent at uasue u-aruen, wuo is , paid so much a head for every emi5 grant canght and shipped to the West. The class we would get would be i those men who would realize the r natural advantages of a Southern climate and soil over the Northern. The railroads will co-operate with any well ' organized and intelligently directed f effort of the kind. They are controlled by intelligent presidents and directors,* who know that it will pay them better if their lines ran through thickly populated sectiotfs ot couutry. J The increase in freight and passenger : traffic will repay them for any sacrij fice they may make to inaugurate any such movement. 1 Through the exertions Mr. JK. M. 1 - - ? ?? " ^ ^U/\ T5 An iiuuex sun, an ilgcia U1 mu JDuaiu vi t Trade of Columbia, all the general passenger associations of the North, East, West-and South have agreed to put on sale for the next three months 3 half-rate tickets Irom all points in the j different sections to all points in the t South. Unless some prompt effort is made by our people to induce Northern * prospectors to come South and examr ine what we have to offer them, no good will result from this act of the 1 ?:> 3, -.,,1 r^:iI ?l,r,s ^ ruiu~ua.ua, auu \yg nui wuo uan. ailowed this golden opportunity to slip 2 as. _ ? _l_. Every day the Agricultural Depart. ment at Columbia, "receives letters of 3 inquiiy from Northern and Western " men who are seeking information, but r all that the Department can do is to f supply them with "glittering generali2 ties," bnt no special and definite and s practical information. There should 5 be some medium through which the 5 man who has money and who wants r land may communicate with the man - who lms land and wants money. This ? is a matter of business, and is beyond thn nrminff> nf jinv rtemrtment of , ~ J XT 1 State government; but judicious adT vertisement will supply the deficiency t and bring the seller and the buyer 3 face to face. Let private enterprise here come in and supplement State ' policy. 2 Why, Messrs. Editors, if either of f you desired to invest your spare cash - in an acre of laud in the northwest * corner of the State of Minnesota in one week after you had made known your desire you would be supplied i with the most accurate and definite 5 information of that exact acre and of I rtAvinflAfail TTTifh if Kn evei \ LLUIJ^ uiku iij ci^v/ exact price, the nearest railway station r and the shortest and cheapest route to it; and when you get there your t neighbors will give you a hearty welcome and tell you that you did a wise thing in buying just when you did and settling there. But when a man from i abroad desires to come among us there t is no one to whom he can go for inj formation, no one to aid him in making a purchase, and should he ovcrL* come all obstacles and finally "locate" t his neighbors drop in on him, aud if j they do not tell. him so, will intimate pretty strongly that he was "a cussed . fool to come to poor old South Carolina," and that he "has paid two prices 1 for his land, for the last owner starved r to death on it, and if he hadn't died he would have been ejected, as the ' i*"- - ? h r l j line is no account anyway." i neaxu 1 this point aptly illustrated by an anec1 dote told by a drummer who wished > to show the difference between . A t. lanta and Macon, He said: "Macoa , is a one-horse town, while Atlanta is a whole team with a yaller dog thrown in. Go lo Macon and bay a corner , lot for $1,500, and a native meets you > and you tell him of your purchase, > then that native's face becomes sym[ pathetic and he heaves a long drawn , sigh and informs you that you have been outrageously swindled, that he , owns the lot on the -opposite corner, 1 and you could have had it for half the ' money, as real estate is going down; . but buy a lot in Atlanta, and when , you tell some acquaintance of your I purchase he slaps you on the back, , congratulates you and tells you that ! you must be a d?d cute fellow to ? ? a i ji I_ nave got 11 su juw, as it s wurui uuuuie . the money, and real estate is going atili higher. This is not enterprise, bat it is public spirit; it shows confidence in themselves and faith hi the ] fature of their city." Onr newspapers have done good work, bat they could do better. "The News and Courier has done much for Charleston, and incidentally to the . State, but the News and Courier can't do it all, and should be assisted by the local press. (I don't mean, Messrs. Editors, to teach you how a newspaper should be conducted, but remember that from the mouths of babes and sucklings we may learn wisdom.) Some of the local papers are a little inclined to run after strange gods. I know of an instance when three meetings of business men, who were seeking to set on foot a certain enterprise, were being held, in the same town, two missionaries were delivering lec tares on "missionary worK in japan." The next issne of the local paper contained a full report of all that the a??earn mm ir ? ? missionaries had said about Japan, but hardy a word about the other meeting., Xo^v, Messrs. Editors, don'tmisunderstand me. I have not a word to say against missionary work, for it is certainly a noble work, thus making bright with the heavenly light of Christianity the dark strongholds of heathenism; but newspapers are educators, directors of public thought and moulders of public opinion, and AUAnlrl i-nn in thr* infnvAcf" nf LUCY SiiUUlU UU lUU in biiv wthe community which supports them. "Which subject is the most important to the community in which that newspaper was published, "missionary work in Japan" or an account of a meeting of citizens to start a new enterprise? Messrs. Editors, I have forgotten that "brevity is the soul of .wit," and have permitted the "mighty instrument of little men" to run away with me, for which trespass upon your valuable time and your readers' patience pardon me.
