' K i!"r I'i'tss mitl Jhinncr: As one who is in la vor of any movemenl calculattd to advance the intesests and develops the resources of Abbeville? prlvided that movement is at all likely to be successful?I wish te wake a few remarks on the present [ status ol tiie railroad outlook. J am a friend I of the Carolina, Cumberland Cap and Chicago ltallroad, but I am opposad?with the lights before me?to voting for the bonds. I jcin see no tangible evidence upon which to I base a hope ol'the success of I lie enterprise, hence my opposition. If those who are such Istrong advocates of the bonds will convince me that the enterprise is likely to be crowned with success and give me their reasons for [the hope that is in them?then I am l">r the bonds. This lliey have not done. Now let u< ; tcvicw hurriedly ';be laets about this rail rod I during the ja^t {$., ? months.

That tlie citizens of the town of Abbeville. in unison with the other ineorpMrilod tuivii* n'ons the line of tlierwKi, pledge ourrclven to issue bonds to llic c.\t lit of Ave per cent of the usi-esfed v:i!ueof tile property of our town. t<> aid In I lie con. strnelfoM of the Carolina, Cumberland Cup slid C'liiCat!"

Titrse resolutions with (he minutes of Hie meeting were published in every paper along the line <>f the proposed railroad, nnd In the Charleston News and Courier, by requests of tr.e meeting, l'elesutcs were then appointed t > no to Charleston to attend a meeting in the interest of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago ltailroad, and our delegates were authorized to make the proposition embodied In tiie resolutions, and to exert their eio-l <iucuc'! and intliicncc to get Ch-irlenton to agree to duplicite the amounts so voted by the towns alom; the line. Our delegates had j no authority toaceeplany proposition which 1 rvnonciu or ?,iinrn.-?iun uu^ui. m.i.v.. v ...... Icston having lailed to accept our proposition,1 then under the very terms (if the resolutions themselves, it fell to tlio giotind ami we were rele ased from all obligation. Can this bp deuled? It seems thai 111 the Charleston meetin}; it was agreed that Cbarle-ton was to take sameof the bonds, but as to this there is some mistake. It seems. However, a reMH! Inti<vn was p:isH'il by ttic (Charleston meeting which said that' the bunds to bo Issued t here-1 under, (that Is under the vote of subscription by any town) shall be deposited in the Carol I na Savings Hunk of Charli-stott In trust, to be delivered to the President of the Carolina, Cumberland (Jap and Chicago Hallway, only i upon completion of the line to said town through said township." Now is not this a ditlerent proposition irom the one we sub-j mittcd? Vet we seethalCharleston now says that she can do nothing until ihe people along thcline shall grade it and piepare it for the rails, then the committee vpp'inted by the business men of (lie city says it "will earnest-1 ly i ndeavor to imtiicir our people here to lake j bonds enough to provide rails and equip-j meiils. Whether our recommendations will! be followed or not, I can't say.'' With our bonds in the Savings Hank, and Charleston waiting for us to grade ihe road, how is that task to be accomplished t This Is a problem : 1 :un most anxious lo see solved. lUiti understand tiiat it is now determined to vote' the 5 per cent, in bonds anyhow, and grade the toad ourselves?without reference to; Charleston. I s not liils a change of pro-; rrntiimc that the iieonle ot this town ought to be heard on? Is not tills a different pioposl-1 lion front the on; we submitted to Charles-; ton ? Is not this different from the resolution passed by the Charleston meeting in reference to depositing our bonds w ith the Carolina Savings JSanl; until the ro id whs completed to mis point ? IIy whom was this change authorized? llave thy people of Abbeville any rights which the authorities ot the Carolina, Cumberland and Chicago Itailroad aic bound to respect? It not, why not ? If these changesc.in be made now without consulting the | eople, will it be necessary to consult them should future developments necessitate | further chaoses? Let lis have these questions; answered. All I want is a fair discussion of the question and If I can be convinced that I am wrong in my views I shall most cheerful-, ly change them, Let us have light. FA I It PLAY.

We landed in the city Friday morn, in?, at the loot of Canal Street, and took a call for the Allen House. J{S Canal Street. Fills Is j a pleasant location for strang'-rs in Hie city, the hostess Is u pleasant old lady and hoard moderate. We visited the Kxpo<dtlon five days. In regular order. Although the grounds are live I miles di-liiit from Hie cily, I hoy are access!I ble oil her hy street ears or steamer. I countj imI titty street ears e ieli way going toand from ' Exposition every ininutoin the day and these i were always crowded. i In the Fulled Slates department, all the j States are represented, each havinga separate i square or space tor oxltihiiimr her products. | It is impossible to go through in detail. I had I visited the Louisville Kxpo-dtlon, In 1 vv!, and I wa? surprised at lis uruuduer, hut this so far excelled It that there Is no comparison. This Is the world in miniature. I must say something of the .1. ,i- 1'. Coat's thread exhibit. They represent here in thread, "TheOld stone Mill," at Newport, it is composed entirely of f|-ools of thread, over eighty thousand in number. The spools are all of different shades and colors. The name of .t. A IV Coats Is worked in with spools. The old mill Is revolving all the time and the oiled is beautiful. The Claris < >. X. T. Company have their machinery here making thread.

There is a splendid exhibit here from Mexico, their saddles, miliiary outfit, their sombreros, surgical instruments, In fact everything to represent that country. 'J'nc Mexican band, of about sixty musicians, Is grand. The music bail \>ill sent eleven thousand. I < heard several distinguished Senators /roni the North speak. The Chinese department is so c>mp!ete that one would almost think himself transported to the "Celestial City." They have a Chinese pagoda surmounted by a huge dragon In bronze. At the Kxposition I saw cveiy animal, bir<l, reptile ai.il (isli in the world, I hey were stuffed, but life like. In lite horticultural department I saw nil tropical plants, trees, (lowers, ?re., all kinds of fruit from every clime that Is known. These are all beautifully arrauged. | The art gallery Is certainly magnificent, on every side is .-tatuary in Ivory, marble. plAster-parls and bronze. Some <>f the pictures are very large, one "r two I shall not forget ; soon?the ''Minute Men of the Kovolulion" and the "F^ast Spike." The price oi these was S'l.i'tKi each. On Sunday, we visited the Catlie| drals and churches, aiso cemeteries. The wealthy class here have a private ccmccry, [ the grounds are beautiful. They do not bury their dead, bnl have vault?. They'also have recentlon vaults In which the dead an} kept until nviiult is built lor then}. I attended mass at the St. Louis Cathedral, which is, I presume. the flncst in the,United States. the grounds belonging to it ure beautiful and In* terestinjr. I also visited the wharf and saw the Vera Cruz give Iter farewell salute and depart for Vera Cruz, she is said to be the fastest sailing vessel on the ocean, I saw another ship leave for Havre. The river, lor miles, is crowded with steamers, boats and crafts of nil kinds. The;AW J'irhurilxoii, said to tio the largest steamer on the Mississippi, was ticre, I went on board and gave it a thorough examination. We look a steanif r for several miles up the river. I also went out to West Knd, f~ake I'ontchnrtrain and Spanish Fort, ihis fort is about eight miles from the city, the Mexicans here held a sclge against Gen. Jackson In the war of 1812, the cannon arc still spiked. There is now a lanre hotel at tho fort. At. this place arc many interesting objects, a large pool of alligators, handsome grounds and summer houses, also an observatory, which I went up In, and could view the country for miles. I visited the French market three times, lunched there twice, It is Impossible to give a description or it, one must see it. New Orleans Is chiefly a French city, or a city of mixed population. Here I met with every nationality, Hiwnians, Chinese, Turks, Hindoos, Ac. Canal street is ihe main thoroughfare, and Is a wide, beautiful street, running from Hast to West. The principal streets are macadamized, but others are very litlhy, the gutters Dili d with slum. I wondered how so many lived here in summer, and asked a citizen. Iicsatd, "that they lived on quinine." The St. Charles hotel is a grand and elegant hill Mini.', It will accomnuuiatc over seven hundred guests. I visited the mini, and saw tiicm c iin money?from the silver brick into the dollar \vc use?they coin nine thousand dollars a day. The hrick Is melted into bars, the width aiel thickness of a dollar, then cut. and conveyed into the stamping room. 1 went in and saw the man stamping, he worked witli so much precision and regularity that one would think him a machine Instead of a man. 1 next wfinl to the Custom House. The (lrst lloor is occupied by the post Olliee Department. On the second lloor I saw marble statues carved in the wall, one of Jackson, the hero of IS1U. The United States Court was in session here at the time. I went into the treasury room^und saw immense quantities of mutilated bills, hags of told, Ac., on tlie shelves. The gehtleman took down a package, re(|nesting me to guess how much It contained, then told me that I held in my hand two million dollars. On one tide was a live thousand and on the other a ten thousand dollar hill. I now think that Jf all the money 1 saw was in circulation von would have /ewer delinquent subscriber.'*. On Sunday. In New Orleans, nearly all the stores arc open, the caffcs, rest an rants, salooiis and French market arc in fidl blast. Horse races, cnlckcn tights, boxing matches, side shows, rope walking, operas and theatres go on Just the same. 1 heard a citl/.on say that they had every amusement in the city except a Spanish hull tight, which the mayor objected to.

It eomes lumbering up. and a few pass-enters, from the crowd, set in, and the coach starts olf". From a thicket, in the distance, comes a squad of Sioux and I'awnce Indians to rob the coach. The Indians charge, and the pnsse users return tire, I!uHalo Kill, with his Mexican cow hoys, all mounted on muMang ponies, now coinetothe rescue, a sham fight ensues in wiiieh several Indians are killed and scalped. The second part displayed the skill of the Indians In catching wild horses, lassoing wild Tcvjis steers anil huUalos, and their attacking a miners hut in tlie night. After the shovv 1 visited Hie Indian tents, and saw how they live In their wild western homes. There are several tribes camped here with their families. At night we attended the opera.
