OIK RAILROAD.
"We believe that all interested in tin
welfare of Beaufort may be congratulatec
in view of the early resumption of worl
upon the Port Royal railroad, and it!
speedy completion. Doubtless many wil
ex.laim, We have heard that song be
fore!" To such doubters, we reply, w Yoi
doubted in the beginning the wisdom o
even talking about a road, and probably
laughed at its projectors as visionaries
Every delay, difficulty and disaster sine*
has been met by your old song, 'I tolc
you so!'"
In spite of all obstacles and discourage'
ments, whether coming from hall heartec
friends or active enemies, we have at leasi
a way into and out of Beaufort. So muck
is accomplished, and even this is of iucal
culabl? advantage to us. The accom
plished is a guaiautee of the future. Tlx
road to Augusta will be built and whet
that is done it will command the situation.
Charleston need not fear being-snurted out
by the sale of the South Carolina road
Beaufort and Port Royal will rejoice in the
prospect of a mutually glorious destiny
me Mate win ieei au impulse ot regeneration.
The Spartanburg and Port Royal
railroad w.ll eventually bring near us thf
whole up country, and the cotton of a
region of a thousand miles will here find
its outlet.
These hopes will be verified in the near
future. Let our residents take heart ol
hope, and prepare to take advantage ol
favoring fates. Above all, discard the useless
carpings, jealousies and doubts which
have tended greatly to retard enterprise.
Post ironed.
The Delinquent Tax iSale for this and
othei counties of the State has been postponed
by order of State Auditor E. F. Gary.,
No reason is assigned fi>r this action, but it
may probably be found in the desire of the
authorities to await tire action of the legislature
nj>011 the amendment to the act f r
assessment and co lection of taxes. The proposed
amendment provides for a more summary
process toward delinquents. We advise
all to pay tip now and avoid further expense
and trouble.
The Republican Job Office.
We have just added a new half medium
Liberty Press to our previously very complete
job office. Mr. Bennett has furnished
us with an additional room to be used
as a press room. We are constantly ad
ding to our stock of type. All varieties
of job printing can now be executed in
Beaufort by us at as low prices and in as
good style as in any place south of Baltimore.
We ean print you anything from a
visiting card to an t lection poster.
Cotton Seed Oil.
The shipment from this port ofsix hun
dred tons of cotton seed to Europe suggests
the thought that we should manufacture
this oil here. We notice the formation
of a company to do this iu Columbia,
wiili a capital of fifty thousand dollars.
With the n quiaite kuow ledge o.' the bust
ncss, and a comparatively small capital,
an enterprise of ti e kind could find no
p rint presenting advantages superior to
Beaufort. We have control of sutlicieut
seed, we have cheap labor, and ample facilities
for transportation.
?-.? Royal E. Bobbins was in town last
week iu connection with the business of
the Port Royal railroad. Rumors were
dying thick and fast iu regard to a resumption
of work, sale, etc. When any.
thing definit is done we will be able te> in
form our readers.
(aught.
The prisoners Deane and Rouse whose
escape from custody we noticed last week,
were recaptured after au exciting chase,
at the house of a relative of Deane in the
western pirt of the county, near the Savannah
river. The circumstances of their
escape are not creditable to them, as they
took advantage of the sheriff's kindness in
allowing them facilities to obtain bail,
given them under parole. Mr. Holmes,
wifl keep au 'eye open,? on tkcru in the!
future * 1
The Bull River Railroad.
The bill incorporating "The Boll river
and Port Royal railroad" has passed both
_ branches of the General Assembly. As
soon as the charter is received, the boofcs
will be opened for subscriptions to the
r stodc. No doubt the company will be
li organized at ouce. Lf sufficient capital
could be obtained to build this road it
would doubtless be a paying investment.
More capital will be employed in the phosphate
minning this fall than ever before.
0 The demand is constantly increasing in
0 Europe, and five vessels are now waiting
: for cargoes at Bull river. The proposed
road will start from Bull river, passing
t| both the Lopus and the Chisolm works.
With improved machinery now in contemplation
the yield of phosphates from
these points ought to reach two hundred
j thousand tons next year, and double that
amount in the near future.
p
The freight on this product will not be
an addition to the cost, for the difference
in insurance on vessels coming to Port
1 R^yal, the superior conveniences in load.
ing, by being shot on board from the cars
instead of thi tedious lightering now i1
nectssary, will more than counterbalance
the railroad freights.

1 There are mare worthless, dogs to the j
1 acre on this Island than any part of the ; 1
* known world. The same may be said of i
' cats. Excited by reflection on the above 1 j
* statements we flew to statistics and found,
i by reference to the report of our excellent |
' state auditor, that only two counties in
* the state beat us for dogs. Bully (dogs) ; 1
for us! Abbeville and Orangeburg are '
- ahead of us in numbers, but the cash val- 1
1 ue of our pups beats them out of sight. '
We have 3933 dogs of all ages and a va- 1
riety of sexes. They are reported by the !'
I auditor to be worth $23,9 J3 in green- |
t backs, or national bank notes. The export
1 trade in them however is not large. They
are worth, it appears, within a fraction of (
-. $6.34 each. To look at those which haunt J ^
} : ouryards, thisseemsahighestimate. Still,
i the "first-reader" says the dog is a noble :'
animal; besides, the auditor ought toknow.
' else why have an auditor, you know?
1 Pursuing our study of Mr. Gary's report,
! j we find that we are much better off in |
> dogs than in filthy lucre. For the total \ 1
' value of "moneys, including bank bills i
' and circulating notes" is ODly $22,45$, i
' : against $30,f) 33 in Jngo. t
1 There is a terrible suspicion raised by i
these figures. Bay street is fairly festoon- t
ed with sausagfs; they hang in "linked
fatness long drawn out," from every (
1 butcher shop. Is it here that we must look (
for the solution of the problem? i
But do matter how we regard the ques- | |
1 tion, we are unalterably of the opinion i
that there is too much capital locked up in I j
dogs in Beaufort c >unty. Let our people t
turn their energies in some other direction. \
Some day there may be a failure in the f
crop, then where will be the unfortunate
doggist? lie will be pining away, s -arcely f
able to do his own barking. Pause, in <.
your reckless career, wo beseech you,' men
and brethren!

A little unpleasantness occurred
in the family of one of our colored fellowcitizens-on
Monday night, in which, it is
said, glass-tumblers, fiat irons, fire wood,
skillets, and other utensils were flung pro- 1
miscuously about, to the damage of the
husband's skull and the utter wreck of the
utensils aforesaid. We would" fain quote 1

Trial Justice Court Proceedings.
On Monday John Brown. Daniel Wangle:on,
and Henry Smith, three boys, were .
wrought before Trial Justice Cleaves charged

wentv and Smith for five.
Before the same trial justice was lodged a (
soniplaint against January Jenkins for being
trunk and disturbing the peace on Saturday
i ght The prisoner seemed to be of a very ;
lay-ful disposition, and in one of his par ox- j'
sins of delight, demolished a window in the
ail. It is to be hoped that a residence of
liirty days in the county jail and a low diet J
vill restore him to a more calm and peaceful j
Vamc of mind.

Court Expenses, ;
Th-; recent term of court cost this county | ^
he enormous sum of $41-1, divided as fol- j
ows: Witnesses, jury and constables |
; clerk, $iof; sheriff, $ IV >; solicitor, j
r. .
More than a third of the money raised for j
ounty purposes is thus spent in one term ol' t
rourt. We are to have another in .June, ^
md probably another in the fall If those t
o come are equally expensive, every dollar ?
>f the three mill tax will be absorbed, j
A large proportion of this expense would t
>o avoided by reducing the per diem and ' j
nileage of jurors and witnesses. Men are
low solicitous of the favor of being summoned .
>11 the jury or siiopamaeu as witnesses. i
riic#*e duties ought to he relegate J to the
>o.>ition of those which men owe to society,
ind for which a full compensation is not exvoted.
The per diem and mileage of wit- j
jesses and jurors should he reduced to not
ivor oae-half the present scale. ;
31 ore Arrests.
Wo learn from the Union Times that, on
Monday last. United States .Marshal W iliauis
began making arrests of personiceused
of being Ku-Klux. Those arrested
it Unionviile during the week are Couu y
Vuditor W. U 31. Williams, J. M. Spencer,
fliomas Ne son, T. 11. Ualluian, Helton
I'Vee and Nevii Hawkins. Colonel Joseph
list lots also been arrested, and about forty
if the accused are already in jail. It was
uuiored in the county that four hundred 1
warrants had been issued and were about to
je served, and, as a natural consequence,
lie streets of Unionville are deserted, and
justness is at a stand still. t
W3T There was quite a riot at Laurens on
salesday. Bricks, fence-rails, clubs, etc.,
filled the air. No-serious damage was done.
Too much of that splendid apple-jack or
the-luscious peach brandy may be indicted
as the promoters of the discord, doubtless.
Pity that such- blesssngs should be perverted.
The Cave of Addnllam,
The nomination of Judge David Davis
by .ae 1 'Labor Reform" party is clearly
illustrated by the following quotation from
1st Samuel:
David therefore departed thence, and
escaped, to the Cave of Addulkin; and
when his brethren and all his * father's
house heard it, they went down thither
to him.
And every one that was iu distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every one
that was discontented, gathered themselves
unto him; and he became captain
over them; and therowere with him about
four hundred men.? Washington Chronicle.
If Davis gets all those votes- he can carry
South Carolina easily enough. The
comfortable, {/he creditors, and~ the contented,
combined, would make a very
small party iu this State, probably not exceeding
the number of ollice holders and
members of the General Assembly..

OUR WESTERN LETTER.
Lafayette, Ind., March 5, 18?-.
The Kentucky legislature has completed
the apportionment of the state into
congressional districts, ?tnd after some
gerrymandering the desired result of havng
them all detnocratic districts is attained.
The following I have taken from
;he vote for Governor in 1871, and I think
t approximates correctness.
The Democratic majority in the first
listi ict is 8 500; second district, 5,500;
.hird district, 2,15 >; fourth district, 4 115:
fifth district, 5,110; s xth district, 1,WO^seventh
district, 4 4-80.; tichtb disti ict,
195; ninth district, 105; tenth district.
l&A
Toe only close d stricts are the eighth
ind ninth and by hird work they may be
politically regenerated.
The democratic state oommittce which
lictates the course of the party in this
>tate has made up the polit'cal slate for
.his year. Thos. A. Hendricks, of Indiinapolis,
is to he the candidate for Gov;rnor.
W. C. DePauv, of Xew Albany.
Lieut. Governor and Dan W. Yoorhecs
>fTerre Haute, ootigresaman-at-large. In
lie event of the success of the democrals
,his y? ar, it is expected that that party |
:an carry the state election in '?:J for legslature.
If they do this Ilctidricks will
jo ha k to the senate, and DeL'auw be-I
;ome governor Dan Voorhces in futher- |
ince of this plan publishes a letter to-day
withdrawing from the list of candidates'
or the governorship before the coming contention
and thus leaves the field clear.
This ticket is the best the party could
(elect, and will be very hard to beat. In- |
liana is by no means certain for the republican
party, aud although we have an
;xcellent ticket and in all probability will
pave Grant and Colfax's popularity to as- i
>ist in the contest^ till the close, and the
victory, if wq got one, only earned by ;
sealous, unremitting effort. Our state j
jovernment has beeu pure and the party |
s compact and hirmonious.
In Ohio and Illinois the stringent tern- j
peranCvi laws to which I have referred in
brmer letters are causing much diealf cion
among the Germans. Organizations .
ire forming all over the states named callug
themselves us icieties for the protec
ion of personal aud religious freedom.'1
fheir direc: object is to effect the repeal of
,hose laws. It is to be hoped that they will
rot succeed. The only danger is that the
Democrats may succeed in arranging an
illiauce with the members of those sooie- j
,iis and thus efteet the defeat of the Republican
party in those states. These local
differences will injure especially our
party, as the Republican Legislature have
passed the obnoxious laws,
The Kansas liberals have organized by
.he appointment of an executive coiunittee
of which Ex-Senator Ross and Ex- !
Governor Crawford are members. The
Leavenworth Daily Journal and Kansas

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, March 1st
The long debate in the Senate on the
sale of arms to the French, is over at last,
resulting in much smoke but little fire,
and it is expected now that the practical
work of the sessipn will begin. And yet
this is*only problematical, as there is
scarcely any other subject but the Presi!
dential election discussed with any interest
Senator Wilson who has just returned
I from New Hampshire tells us that the
! contest will be intense, bitter and close,
and the Republicans e\ rywhere will need
to join hands for a sharp battle. The
reason for these surmises is the rumor of
the union of Workings men Association
and the liberal or renegade Republicans,.
with the Democrats on the ticket proposed
at the National Labor Convention, Davis
and Parker. Davis is one of the judges of
i the Supreme Court, appointed by Mr.
' Lincoih?a man made what he is by the
Republicau party, and now. as Morton
says of Trumbull and Shurz, wants to kick
! down the ladder by which he climbed to
his present position. Joel Parker is a regular
dved in the wool Democrat. Imagine
the union on one platform of Shurz, Trum- ;
bull, Sumner, with Vooshees, Sherman
r?nd Fernando Wood, and the working
men uniting with the Democratic party, a
| party which showed ylainfy its.colors towards
the laboring classes by its treat
?ont of the black men in the past.
Where is the crumb of comfort the labor
ing man can find in that party, with its
disloyalty, old fogyisms, Ku-Kluxism, J
| corrupt materials, and utter repudiation
; of every jpogressive movement of the
timis. It is a comfort that there will be
1 plenty of time before the election for the
working men to see that the Democrats
j only desire to use them as a lever to hoist
themselves again into power, without one
1 thought of the respective rights of capital
and labor.
The crowning interest of the week was
the arrival of the Japanese embassy. The
f party numbering sixty, arrived on Friday

said to be very intelligent and learn d. '

They are scrupulously neat, the
majority of them taking two fa 1 baths a
day. They have adopted our style of
dress, and on Saturday we met a party of \
them in Devliu"s furnishing store, buying j
light kids and selecting cravats. The chief |
otRjials have not loft the Arlington since :
their arrival, considering that it would '
have beta a breach of etiquette until afier
their formal presentation to the President.

Columbia, S. C-, March 12. j
Business has been brisk in both branches
of the legislature since my last, the'caleiiu

private bills. Among the important bills '
passed were, the bill to pension widows '
and orphans of those killed by I\u K'ux;
the validating bill, making legal all issues
of bonds, and the bill to settle Kimpton'e
accounts. The validation act includes
the provision that "an annual tax, in addition
to all other taxes, shall be levied up- i
on the property of the State **-**'
sutlicieut to pay the interest on the bonds
named in, or provided for in, this act."
This is the famous fourth section of the
Validation bill, which explains the my 8terious
conduct of the legislature iu levying
a tax of ouly eleven mills when Comptroller
Neagle and the rest were pleading
for a tax of nineteen mills or more.
The sum total of the debt acknowledged ,
in the Validation bill is ?1.5,851,327. Of
this debt a sum of ?38,830 bears three pe :
cent interest, a sum of ?481,041 bears five
per cent interest, and a sum of ?899,000

per cent; so that the annual interest ts
about $004,000. For the payment of this
interest an additional tax is to be levied,
at the rate, we will say. of four mills on
the dollar; which, with the tax for redeem- (
ing the revenue scrip, issued to the B ue
Ridge road, will make the taxation of the
year: j
8 mills for State purpOSes.\?.$1,200,000*

This is exclusive of the stamp and license

of $200,000 or more.
