Wednesday, Nov. 23. 1881, Tei:mx--T\vo Dollars a year. in advance; Two Dollars unit Fifty Cents, if payment is .1 e Uycd. Our Kiiilrourisi, There seems to be considerable activity in Railroad circles, though little of a definite character has yet transpired. Articles on this subject from the Aurjuxfti Chronicle <tr,<l CoiulUutionalixt and the X'tc< ?i:nl Courier will be read with interest by our people. There is now a proposition for Abbeville county to issue bonus in :ti?i of the difiereut roads at present under construction at, say three thousand dollarsn mile for each the Atlantic and Frcnch Broad Valley, and the Savannah Valley Kail roads, and four thousand dollars a mile for grading the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad from (Jreenwooi! to the river, where it will connect with the Laurens and Spartanburg Kail road. The larger amount is suggested for the Greenwood and Augusta because of the heavier grading on this line than on t lie others. After grading the Atlantic and French Broad Valley Railroad it is probable that it will be sold out to parties desiring a grand trunk line from the West to the Sea. It is believed that from this sale we will realize an 'amount of money nearly 'sufficient to refund to the county all that this enterprise will have cost. The projectors of this line as we understand it, care but little as to who Khali own nnd run the road. Our object will be to get it. With the road to Port Royal, which is seventy-five miles nearer than any other port, ours will be the most important enterprise of the kind in the State, and we will thus have two strings to our bo w?we can use cither road, and will most likely avail ourselves of the services of the road which oilers the greatest facilities at the cheapest rates. Our citizens 011 tho Savannah side by coinbiuing with tlie Greenwood ami Augusta Road will be put on a public highway leading to the principal thoroughfares of the country. l>y going down they soon get to a railroad centre, or by going to Anderson they will find a convenient and speedy outlet to every quarter of the globe. And then those of our citizens along the line of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, by the extension of their load to Spartanburg, will have a way to the east opened up to them, which in effect will be like opening up the front door of their houses when they want to go iu that direction. Now, Unless their heads are turned to Augusta, they are compelled to go out at the back door when they go from home. The Greenwood and Augusta Railroad will be, in all probability, controlled for a long time by the city of Augusta, and will be a rich ieward f<ir thr* itiwl r*f lior citizens. As our road, the Atlantic and French Rroad Valley Railroad, is now considered a certainty, we think, with the Sctvs and Courier, that if the South Carolina Railway Company propose extending their business in this direction, that they should give attention to this matter promptly, as we want the road, and that badly, anil are in no condition to coquette with anybody. We will accept the first good and substantial offer that is made. Of course if the South Carolina Railway does not come to our aid, Western capital is not going to run a road to Charleston, when they can by") saving seventy-live or eighty miles of * road, reach deep water at Port Royal.! The prospect now is that capitalists, from Cincinnati, in accordance with appointment, will have a conference; this week with our people, and it is! understood that they will propose to finish the road to Port Royal within eighteen months from ratification of; contract?one of the stipulations being j that we grade the road or give our county bonds to them in lieu thereof. It really seems as though Trickem, Abbeville, Due West-, Wiiliamston anu Pickens will soon be on the line: of oneof the most important railroad lines in the Southern States. This is our chance, und our people should not: allow it to go by default. The Press May l>e Trusted. Kow that another and an exciting campaign is imminent, the Democracy of South Carolina may put their; full confidence in the press of the State. Although the party in some in-' stances has had the appearance of going back on its most ardent support-j ere,and most ellcetive advocates, yet. despite the injustice which has been done it, the press of the State has always been true to the bet-t interests of the peoplt. The Iicrjistcr, for instance, entered the campaign of 1S7G with all the spirit of a patriotic Carolinian, and worked most actively for! the Democracy, while it dealt the op-, posing columns of the enemy many an effective blow. But political parties are sometimes ungrateful and often in tlie hourof triumph forget those who have done most to secure the victory. As soon as the Legislature, which that paper had been largely instrumental in electing, had assembled ...Zil. l i i it wiiiiuicH us priming aim gave n i<> another, without more than a shadow of a ghost of a reason. In like manner all the newspapers of the .State, except the iVcit'3 and Courier, arid the Jlcgixtir, were immediately shut down on by the Executive Department, and they do not now get the advertising which the Government before the war gave to every paper without exception. The thanksgiving proclamation in the olden times before the war was published in every section of the State, and now only the readers of the Xews and Courier and the licffistcr are invited by his Excellency to participate in this religious observance. This may seem picayunish, and if this were all, it would be unworthy of notice, but the fact that the existence of the humblest paper n the State is systematically ignore a 03' the officers of the government it helped to set up, is felt more keenly than is the loss of a penny by not publishing the few advertisements wnich emanate from the Executive Department. As a matter 01 met uie newspapers nave nui ueen treated, since 1876, as they were before the war* We do not pretend to account for it, but the fact exists. Another instance of wrong may be mentioned in connection with the fact that the Gftenville JVacn was the first paper in South Carolina to rai?e the standard and proclaim for straightout Democracy, yet .that paper has never received a cent from the State for advertising. If the Legislature or the Executive of the Slate felt bound to ignore and withdraw oilieial advertising from the country press, we see' no good reason why the Greenville j News of the up-country should not! have beeu included among the daily papers of the low-country. And,, again, we see no good reason for care-! fully ignoring the existence of the Columbia Yeoman?ti truer or a higher toned paper is not published in the. State. We understand that Judge Cothran elected, as I.is own successor, The Political Situation. From various extracts which we reproduce in this issue of the /Vrxs and lidiutii'. it will he seen that the political cauldron begins to boil in South Carolina. Owing to the fact of dissensions in our own ranks, as well as; to the impetus which the Mahouej j party in Virginia has given the Ilei publicans everywhere, we may expect i ja heated campaign next year. With I money from the North, accompanied | by the moral support of the CJovernjmeut at Washington, it is fair to prejsume that the s'raightout Democracy | of the State is in groat danger of at i least a partial defeat at the polls next j November. We believe it is a generally conceded fact, that we will have I two tickets in the field in 1SS2, and al| ready the public ear is on the alert to j hear the first whisper of the name of ja leader who shall, like Mahone in j Virginia, lead tlio dissatisfied element, ! of the Demociacv in South Carolina. ' 'I'l.nf tl? Al*n 1 L-cn mil l i I till* | ranks of the Democratic party in | .South Carolina none will deny; that the Republicans are emboldened by j Mahone's success is patent to all; that | the colored element would be willing 1 'at a moment's notice to vote] isolidly for the support of any move-! mint against the regular organizedj ! Democracy will not be doubted for a ( moment. "With those facts before us, I the reader's good common sense will suggest the dangers which beset us. It will not lessen the danger by at-! tempting to assign reasons for the exlisting conditions which imperil our | most excellent administration of the laws, nor will it add anything to our safety by shutting our eyes to abuse and villify those who oppose lis. The facts exist, and are to be dealt; with rationally if we would maintain ; our supremacy, or foolishly and spite- i fully if we would insure a calamity to | the public happiness and well-being! j of our people. I (hie cause of dissatisfaction, is! | ' | the belief in the minds of a great number of citizens (whether there is ! just ground for that belief or not, we l leave the render to judge for himself) I I that a majority of the otlices are held j by those of a particular branch of the | Democratic party to the exclusion of other* who are equally as deserving ami that personal favoritism as much! | as merit, has occasionally wielded inJfluence with the appointing power, j Another ground ot complaint, j whether just or not, we do not pre; tend to say, (we merely speak of facts ! as they exist,) is the conduct of our J criminal court?, And if we mistake not, the records of the penitentiary 'convicts will be looked into for camj paign timber. There are citizens in South Carolina, as well as in other parts of the world, who feci that a term of years in that institution for trilling oll'ences is too severe. Asaclmax or cap-stone to the whole, the papers would lead the public to! believe that the offices aro already being parceled out to aspirants for political honors. We have heard no single officer charged with corruption, or incompetency, or inefficiency, but :on the other hand, credit for the high, est personal integrity and official | fidelity to the public, is accorded to all. lioiled down to a fine point, it is j a cpiesuou oi spoils. me " ouis an* i opposed to the "ins," and wo believe a change of officers is inevitable. i Col. Hoy kin, the Register, and the Sews and Courier. | Last week the News and Courier criticised the pamphlet recently printed by C'olone! Bovkin, the Superinktendentof the Bureau of Immigration I for this State, and Colonel Boykin ad-1 dresses a letter to the editors of that I paper through the columns of the! Register. Without replying to the main points made by the News a id \ Courier, Colonel Bovkin exhausts the English language in vituperative abuse, and makes use of the Register's old worn out, stereotyped stock in trade, which it never fails to bring against the News and Courier. The letter of Col. Boy kin in the Reg inter I goes to prove the justice of the critiof AVwjj nntl We hope that the State will abolish the ollice of .Superintendent of Immigration. It is, in our opinion, a worse than useless expense. If the Legislature in its wisdom sees fit to make any more offices or to fill any offices now created, wo hope that body may have the discretion in the future to put men in them that may not copy the licfjister1* offensive style, or appropriate its j thread-bare and oft-repeated, ill-man-1 nered flings. Such writing have a most corrupting influence upon the public! mind, and for the evil effects of which j the State Legislature in this instance is partly responsible. No man should ! hold State office who cannot write a I respectful communication to even an! assailant. The Carolina gentleman of the past, even when arranging for deadly conflict, was always respectful and polite, and we are sorry for any departure from the good old rule. It would be as reasonable in the welldressed gentleman to enter a test as to his mud-throwing capacity against a street urchin, as it would be for the gentleman of character to forget himself so far as to engage in a dirty quarrel with one greatly his inferior, and when either party indulges in disrespectful language, he by the act, makes the acknowledgment of his inferiority, and in all such cases, the ; gentleman must quit the field, or; necessarily come oil' second best.' No man could publish 111 the J ress j 'ind Banner such u letter as Colonel 1 Joy loin's?no mutter from whom it: came, or to whom it was directed. We do not disseminate such literature. j The true journalist should exclude j j ill-mannered communications, unless it is proposed to reduce the paper to j the level of a swill barrel into which any man may thrust his lillh. Andj no editor with a proper appreciation ofj his oiiice, or with a due consideration I for his own personal self-respect, should be the bearer of dirty mesj sages. The Greenville News. The GrccnvtUc News yesterday [makes further complaints against the! j jYt/rs find Courier for omitting to give i j credit for locals copied from that pa-1 per, and then in a general way gave a j : back-handed lick at the country press j j for commenting 011 Colonel Iioykin's letter. In the first place we do not | i understand why the News and Courier j j does not give the proper credit, mid I then we do not eee why the Greenville I yews should com plain at the weekly j papers for an expression of opinion: i about a public matter. The complaint) . of the Greenville News that the News! and Courier had reproduced only edit-1 lOrials agreeing with its own, seems unfair. Some of the editorials which j we saw reflected very unkindly 011? the News and Courier. These articles were very properly left out of the, paper. While it may he true that the | News and Courier may have omitted J some notices which might have been | published,; yet it had a right to doj as it pleased in the matter. The I'rcss j and Banner will stand soda water all; round, if the News and Courier will give credit, and the Greenville News' will hold up on its "Charleston es-( | teeiued." Let's have peace. 1 There are thousands of blooms in 'our cotton fields on the 23d of NoIvcinber. j Judge Mackey at Georgetown. In another column we reproduce from the (fvoryt/own Time* an interesting synopsis of the speeches delivered to a party of serenaders by Judge Mae key and others. We presume this is only the beginning of what we may expect to hear. It Judge Mackey's speech means anything at all, it means that the same efforts are to be made in South Carolina, which were so recently successful in ruining Virginia. Judge Maekcy, it Is understood, is not a candidate for re-election to the office of Judge. It is said that he had a long conference with Mahoue in Richmond during the Yorktown Centennial, and his speech at Georgetown may indicate something of the policy then determined upon. T. J. MACKEY. The First C?um of the Campaign of Next Year ? Living Truths and Acknowledged Facts for People ? A Genuine Love Feast. fGrvryt town Timts, V.Uh in.*'.] Ti ist Thursday evening our community was treated to a genuine political feast, quite unexpected, nut none mo less refreshing. Music I'.oui the two colored bands of the town advertised us of the fact in the early part of the evening that something more than usual was on the tapis,and it was soon discovered that His Honor, Judge T. J. Mackey, was expectoil to make a speedy The two bands tendered 11 is Honor a serenade at the boarding-house wlicro ho was stopping, and quite a large number of white and colored citizens assembled there to hear liim speak. About nine o'clock the judge was escorted out on the piazza and introduced by the Indenrient of the Town, Mr. David Kisley. After expressing his sincere thanks for the kind and courteous invitation that had lx-en accorded to him of addressing his fellow-citizens of Georgetown, the speaker directed his attention to the condition of political all'airs in South Carolina, claiming that there was to be found much that was wrong here, and suggesting remedies which, 111 his judgment, would cure the evils that exist, lleclaimed that there was very little, if any, progress in South Carolina, and said that prosperity would never again gladden the hearts of South Carolinians unless a radical change was brought about in the political affairs of the State. He advocated a compromise on the part of the whiles with the blacks, and a termination of the political dissensions which agitato the State every two years from the mountains to the sea, as the only means of bringing lasting peace and prosperity to our people. He believed that the white man and the black man should move shoulder to shoulder, and work out their furtuncs together in the grand march of progress. Ho thought that great injustice was done the colored people in not allowing them a fair representation in the General Assembly of the State. [Hear! hear!] iie claimed that the white people could and should allow the colored race a larger representation than they now have, and that they could do so and still retain the controlling power in their own hands. As a South Carolinian who loved his State and remembered her before tho rude disasters of war had marred thecomoli i)ess of her form and dimmed the lustre of iier eye, he longed to see a chango in the present political condition of the Slate. As long, said lie, as the race issue is injected into political campaigns and the drawing of party lines continues, making it almost criminal for men to express thoir political sentiments, just so lon^ would Northern men and Northern capital shun the soil of South Carolina, [hear! hear] and just so long would our State remain in tlie background of progress, lis desired to see, so far as State issues are concerned, party lines dono away with, and political strife and dissensions ended; and he wanted to see the day when any man, black or white, NortherncrorSoutherner, can conic into this State and express his political sentiments without thi apprehension of fear to person or property. Then a better day would begin to dawn upon South Carolina, who was now in such a deplorable condition financially that her average planter, at the end of each year, is so poor that he owed for the clothes he wears, and the average laborer! so ragged that if he were to attempt to cross o forty-acre held and were caught by a heavy Northeast wind, he would be j whipped to death by his rags ! lix-School Commissioner F. W. Macus-j ker was next introduced. Mr. Macusken stated that he was a Democrat and that everybody knew his past political record, j [Laughter?lleur! hcarlj no heartily; endorsed tlie sentiments expressed by I Judge Mackey, and was sorry lie was not I as well prepared or lie would like to bo hoard on the questions which had been presented. JIo went as far as any other man in the Democratic party at the past several elections to further the interests of that party, but that he was now ready j and willing to so as far as any other man j in affecting a compromise between the whites and the blacks. He said he had I always been in l'avor of such a compromise, [Laughter] but party feeling run so] high that his efforts in that direction all proved abortive. He promised that he would be found at all times ready to lend his influence in affecting an arrangement of the kind so necessary and replete with good results for both races. Mr. Geo. E. Herriot was next inlroduced, who expressed himself as being in thorough accord with the speaker who had preceeded him, and said he wished to see harmony prevail anions tno whites and blacks throughout the whole State, j Mr. L. S. Ehrich was introduced as the last speaker. Mr. Khrich said that he heartily subscribed to all that Judge Mackey had said, and stated that six years ago ho would not have dared publicly to avow the sentiments which lie now oxpresses for fear of social ostracism. Hoi was glad to be able to say that such was no longer the case, and ho considered it ono of the most cheering signs of the I times, lie followed pretty much the line [ of argument pursued by Judgo Mackey, and held that no substantial progress in this county or in the State was possible as long as the white people and the colored people stood arrayed against each other in j politics. We want to build railroads and ; cut canals and build up enterprises, said j ' i <!.? i:.w. ,.r i till" ) UUt IWUj^ il?> l u\; Iiiic; vt i i mural ion now existing continues, and! the races arc kept apart and made to look j upon each oilier with suspicions fear, wo will never be able to accomplish these re-j suits, and the result is that stagnation| must everywhere prevail in business. Mr. Khrich thought that the whites and blacks should sink their dilleronces in politics and come to gether, and that the I former should make advances to the lat- j ter, as he knew that the blacks would; never come over to the whites, as they were taught to believo that there wasj something terrible and to be feared in the! word "Democrat." Mr. Khrich spoke in the same strain for some time, and was frequently interrupted with laughter and j cries of "hear! hear !" When the next political contest is over,! and the history of the campaign written, Georgetown will have the honor of havinir lired the lira I gun. After the meeting adjourned, the citizen's committee appointed to wait on Judge Mackey (consisting of Senator 15. 11. Williams, Iutcudant i)avid Kisley, I Representative \V. J. Moultrie, School! Commissioner (J. 10. Harriot, Messer. K. | C. ltainev, C. II. Sperry and F. W. .Ma-1 cusker) escorted his Honor to Mr. j \Vrede's Restaurant, where a lino oyster | supper was served. THE AUGUSTA AM) KXOXVILLE.! How the Enterprising: Georgians Pro- j pose to Draw South Carolina Trade j Across the Hirer. Augusta Chronicle. The track of the Augusta and lCnoxvillo ltailroad has now been laid to a< point thirty miles l'rotn Augusta, and a' largo force* is progressing at the rate of j over a third of a mile a day. The stock-j holders at Greenwood will be able to ride over their own road to attend the annual convention next May. The road has just purchased a new j locomotive from tiie Port lloyai Railroad. This engine, which has never been used,! has been named the "It. JI. May," in! honor cl' Augusta's worthy Mayor. A public meeting will lie held in this; city in a short time, to take some action in regard to the.Savannah Valley Kailroad, which connects with the Augusta and Jvnoxville at Horn's Mines. The stockholders of this road are anxious that it. should bo incorporated with the Augusta and Knoxville, and run under one system. Wo understand that it requires only more to llnish the j irrmlititf ol the road to Anderson Court j House, and if Augusta will subscribe | this amount she will secure this important enterprise. With the Savannah J Valley llaiiroad, the Spartanburg, Union and Laurens and the Greenville and Laurens united with tho Augusta and ] Knoxville, the latter will control 215| miles of road, tapping a large portion of] several of the most productive Counties j of South Carolina. Augusta would then 1 secure a largo trade from that State, adding nota little to her prosperity. With &>.">,<100 subscribed to tho Savannah V:tl- j ley Knilroiul, and UW) to the Spartan-; burg, Union and I.aureus, this can beac-j complishcd beyond a peradventure, If we lose the opportunity now wo may never again have it in our grasp. ? ?u? ?

I i Another Account. jj Washington, D. C., November 19.?j( j The driver of the prison van gives the , l following particulars of tho attempt to ; shoot (initcau. The facts are substantially these: Upon the adjournment of the ( j Court the van started as usual for tlio I. 'jail, having one police as guard, who sat!, : on the seat with tho driver. Uefore jj j reaching Capital street the guard noticed , a young man on horseback riding lcisurej ly behind the van. >iear the corner of | | East Capital and First streets the horso- . ] man rode directly up to the rear of the j van and hastily peered through the small j grating, (iuiieuu was at one end of the jJ van, and was seated on the right hand L scat, the seit running lengthwise of the j | j van. After evidently satisfying himself j j j of the location of the prisoner, the horse- j : man wheeled suddenly to the left of the!, van and tired directly through it. lie ' then dashed to the front of the van and | pointed his pistol at the driver with thejj j evident intention of intimidating Jinn or j j | stopping the van. The d.iiver was some- ( | what excited, and in response to an en- | quiry of a reporter said : l'erhaps lie in- ( tended to stop the van by shooting one of I ( 11ho horses, i-eeing an armed policeman by the side of thp driver, ho exclaimed: ? ' I've shot the of a ," and, put- ' ting spurs to his horse, started down East , Capital street in the direction of the Con- | jgressional Cemetery.

I He had on a dark brown stilt of clothes. | Tho van then proceeded to the jail and j 1 Guiteau was taken out in a state of great , ! excitement. He exclaimed: '"I have ! been shot. Notify Mayor Brock at once. Tell him to arrest the scoundrel and have j him dealt with as he deserves." On cxi animation it was found that the ball had ljust grazed Guitcau's left wrist, inflicting j a mere scratch, The ball struck the op| positc side of the van and fell upon the < ! Moor, where it was found on reaching the i | jail. The announcement of tho attempt M upon Guileau's life ercatcd intense excite- 11 ment on the streets, and all sorts of ru- i mors were at once in circulation. The i would-bo killer was seen about the court ' house this afternoon, and attempted to ? j get an admission during the day, but fjj.il-p j cel. He was also seen to mount :ns horse j > I near the court house soon after the van ' j left and ride leisurely titer it.

It was whispered in tho crov.il < without ihe court house just previous to I adjournment that to-day would lie Ihe < last <!a\* of the trial. A remark was also I heard in the crowd that if any one want ed to see (luiteau they had better do sol? to-day. This would lead to the belief!

( "Washington, November 17.?District , Attorney Corkhill, in opening the case for the government, delivered a long and el- | o(|iient address, in the course of which he !, t'ompared tho circumstances of tho assas- j filiation of Lincoln and Gariield. This n trial was a remarkable illustration of the L genius and spirit of uur government, j when, after an awful olleuse, tips prisoner j j could stand here in safety and demand | every privilege accorded by the constitution. There was no similar ease in liisto- i ry. Ilad the crime been committed in any other country the prisoner would ] have tho penalty by punishment as swift ] and rapid as the crime itself. Corkhill , reviewed at length tho ci renin stances of j President Garfield's intended departure , and the scene at the depot during the trag- t cdy, and also traced tiie course pursued ( by (iuiteau, reading; letters soliciting of- | lice, addressed to tho President, Secretary < I'v:iits and Secretary lllaine.

"I should think, un- i < der the circumstances, you would," ro-jt marked the Court, dryly. Guiteau then ; 1 subsided. i i iinMhiiriiin in>r close of Mr. Cork- t hill's address, Mrs. Scovillo bowed her j head and wept.

Long before the hour of opening of the Court several hundred la1 ies niid gentlemen had assembled ill the Kastern corridors and patiently awaited idtnissiou to the Court Iioohi. At 5) /clock the prison van drove up, and (iuieau, clucthing a huge bundle of papers n his manacled hands, shullied hurriedy into the building. There was >' marked nbsence of noisy demonstration on the lari.of the bystanders; j'etCuiteau plainly betrayed the fear of sudden violence which always marks his movements whenever ho deems himself atall exposed to danger. lie was. taken to the prisoner s room and devoted himself to reading the papers. At !'.:]<) the seats reserved for the generd public were entirely tilled, Ibur-liflhs >f them being occupied by ladies.

This brought 011 a scene, during ivliicli Cuiteau demanded that Scovillo <honld ^o out ol tlio e;iso ; that ho was no rriininal lawyer, and had 110 .-ense; that 10 talked 0110 tiling to iiiin in private! and mother in public. Scovillo endeavored ;o explain to the Court,J but (iuitcau be aiiie more and more excited, and adIresse I himself alternately to the Court, o Scovillo and to the bail ill's who were endeavoring to keep him quiet. To the 1'ourt he said : "I represent inysolf, yonrj Honor, and I shall do as I please about! onn.sel." Then, turning to ik'ovillc: 'You have goi 110 capacity, and I won't lave you manage my case," Turning to lie bailill's, lie shouted. "You mind L'liur business, you confounded fools! You ain't got no senso I" The Court again stated to the prisoner, ,11 decided terms, that he would order his removal and proceed in his absence. To his (iuitcau shouted excitedly : "I don't J are if you do! The Court in banc will J reverse you, and I will get a new trial. You have got no right to remove mo!" The Court replied in terms which see raid to convince Uuiteau of their sincerity. 'Very well," said the Court. "1 shall do <0 if you persist in any more disturbance,1 uid there are precedents in this Court fori <uch a ruling." A whispered consultation between Oui-j ;eau and Scoville followed. The former, I ipparently convinced, subsided into absolute quiet and devoted himself to his :>:ipers. District Attorney Corkhill offered in evidence cerlaiu letters which were yeslerday read to Blaine and identitied by !ii 111. ICdward A.

John O'Moara testified as to soiling tho pistol to Guiteau. Guiteau annonnood to the Court that lie lad John 15. Townsend, of New York, Leonaul Swett and A.S. Trudo, of Chieo;o, to assist him. There was plenty trains on tho other side, and injustice lie lesired as much on his.

COTTON, WHEAT AND CORN. Report, of the Agricultural Depart- ( nient for Octobcr?South Carolina i Reported as one of the Stales In which the Reduction of the Cotton Crop is Least Marked. Washington, November 15.?The following slatoini'iit showing the condition ol' thu cotton, corn anil wheat crops was Issued by the department of agriculture to-day. I Cotton?Returns of November 1, from ' tho ten principal cotton-growing States, give an indicated yield peracrc considerably Jess than last year. 'Die drought, which was tho cause of the decrease in all sections, was most severe in the States I west of tho Mississippi Kiver, and the ro- . ported decrease in the States is as follows: 00 per cent, in Louisiana, 40 percent, in Texas and nearly 'id per cent, in Arkansas. >,r<mh Carolina. 011 the Atlantic coast, makes a return of 30 per cent. less yield than in 1.SS0. South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi report n better condition, and prospects for a crop not much bolosv that of last year in those States. Florida! j reports a decrease of 15 percent. Alabama an increase of 13 per cent, and Tennessee a decrease of 1:2 per cent. Virginia is not included as a cotton State, its production being insignificant. Tliea\vcather is reported as liaying been favorable during the month and the prospect of a fair top . crop was good. Wheat..?The average yield per aero of wheat in l.'jftl, as shown l>y our returns, is lu\ bushels against 13 1-10 in 1880 indi- ' eating a decrease of about 20 pet cent, or one hundred millions of bushels from last year's product, which reached nearly live hundred millions. Along the Atlan- 1 tic coast the yield has not varied greatly from that of the previous season, but in 1 the interior and in the Western States i there has been a great falling oil' caused by the severe winter, late cold spring, < drought and, in several of the States, in- , sort ravages. lint while the quantity of the crop is reduced the quality is gener- ; ally reported as very good. Cum.?'The November returns show an 1 average yield of liO-i bushels per acre of j, corn, indicating a falling oil'of about -o i percent, from the crop of 1880, caused!] chiefly, by the general and protracted | drought during the growing season andi: by excessive rains since the crop was liar-j [.many sections, u?i>ecijill3* in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys. The chinch hugh;u* also been destructive in some regions. The quality of the crop is some what be- . I low the average. In Wisconsin anil Min nesota there is a decided increase over last year' yield, bill tlieso are exceptions to the general rule. j The South Carolina Railway. yews and Courier. Tho orders made by Judge Bond in Baltimore on Saturday mark the termination, it is presumed, of such litigation ! as in any way hindered tho reorganization of tho South Carolina liadroad. Under tho corporate naino of the South Carolina Railway Company tho new concern is fairly on its legs, and there is notli- , I ing that we can see to hinder it from going to work at once to complete tho equipment of the roatl ami got in lighting trim. In these days the railroad which ^ is to retain business and increase it is tho corporation that is learcd, not l.'io lino I which depends on favor or good-will for successful existence. What tho policy of tho South Carolina j Kaihvay Company will bo is not yet [ knownj but it is believed that the desire is to widen it< lield of operations by encouraging tho construction of connecting linos within the State. There is certainly 110 time to lose. The Savannah Valley Railroad and French IS road Valley Rail- 1 road, connecting with the South Carolina! Railroad by way of Edgefield at Aiken, will be most important factors and add | largely to the trade of Charleston. Butj ! these roads will fall into other hands or, at least, contract entangling alliances, unless the South Carolina Railway moves promptly and makes itself their best friend. There are other connections which are needed to open sections of the State which Charleston does not now reach. It will not cost much ; and without such business as loeal lines will furnish it, the South Carolina Railway (in j the absence of independent Northwestern .1 trallie) will lind it ditiicult to hold its own. For the sake of Charleston as well 1 as for the sake of tiio Coin pan}', it is hoped ! that thero will be 110 more waiting, and I that whatever policy is determined on i will bo promptly and energetically car-! ricd out. There should bo, for instance, 110 lagging in getting down to tho waterside. Charleston must give everv faeili * -?-1. ?l I.? 1 IV llli'.l oilier polls liirilixu, nuu munt Uf able ami willing to work as cheaply. In one respect tho South Carolina Railroad litigation will have an immediate beneficial ellVct on Charleston. The hanks ami individuals arc large holders of securities of the old company which have been practically dead, whatever their actual value. The adjustment off tho Syndicate's claim, and tho exchange of the*securities of the new company for those of the old, under the plan of reorganization, will add about a million and a half of dollars to the available capital of tho city. This will give more working room, and will stimulate business. Charleston i.?, therefore, to be congratulated upon tho adjudication which has been had. Tho losses of individuals have been very considerable, but these will be more than made up to the community at large, if the South Carolina Kail way, under tho new management, shall exhibit the enterprise, foresight and vigor which are expected of it, and which alone can make it profitable to tho owners and a benefit to Charleston. Ability timl Firmness Combined. Judge J. S. Cothran, wh.o has been presiding over the Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas in Columbia during a protracted term, returned home yesterday, leaving behind him the reputation of an able, conscientious, ilrm and affable Judge. During the term of Court just closed ho was called upon to adjudiI cato some exceedingly intricate causes, and in all his rulings, whether in criminal or civil cases gave entire satisfaction i to the members of the bar. The young-j est .Judge in South Carolina, he is tho peer of any that sits upon the bench.? Columbia Jtcgistcr. Dr. Talmadgo, of lirooklyn, is not a preacher to our liking, but he makes some good hits occasionally. Wo say Amen to this: "If you feel the need of having u pistol in 3*our pocket, j'ou are a miserable coward. If you arc afraid to go down street unarmed, you had better I get your grand-mother with her knitting | needles to go with you. A pistol is the | weapon of a sneak.
