Beaufort S. C.
passivism in South Carolina,
The* course to be pursued by the Demo
crats of South Carolina in the coming canvass
for State officers is probably marked
out .by the utterances of the Charleston
JXeics and the Columbia P1.cc tit. The
PLce.iiX) in a carefully prepared article, declared
that * .
4 "The field will be le'ft entirely open to the
Republicans i.i th?? ^approaching campaign,
to effect such reforms in their own ranks as
fhey may have the wish and ability to do.
They will be left perfectly free and untrammelled
by any political antagonists, to
select from th ir own numbers the most
virtuous and intelligent that their ranks afford."
The Phcenix believes that no inconsiderable
number of colored and white Republicans
are heartily tired of the reckless legislation
and the rottenness of the S'atc government
and that they will make an effort to present
a ticket composed of honest and capable
Republicans in opposition to the regular
nominations if the latter should prove to be
no improvement upon those now in off.ee.
In case such a ticket is presented the Democracy
are certain to support it by their
votes, if not upon the stump, Substantial'
ly the same course is advocated by the iJeics.
and finds favor with most of our exchanges
in every part 01 tlie Mate.
This passive policy is doubtless the very
strongest card the opposition can play. If
carried out the regular nominees will not
ualk over the course with the case which
thirty thousand Republican majority would
seem to warrant. The only way to prevent
such a split in our party, and let that "old
possum," the Democracy, die in fact, is to
put forward such a ticket as will obtain the
endorsement of honest men of every party.
The Fifteenth of April.
The main incident of the day was the
military muster. About four hundied men
of the Third; Kegiraent paraded, Col.
Wiggin, commanding. Brig. Gen. Robert
Smalls inspected the regiment. Gen. Mos
es did not arrive until late in the day, and
was prevented from doing more thau make
a short speech of congratulation to otli;ers
and men on their soldierly appearance.
He touched very lightly upon politics. We
were sorry to see that he had not recovered
from the weakness incident to his
late illness. Gtn. Smalls and Col. Wiggin
addressed the regiment biidll}'. W.

The Liberal Republican meeting in
New York last week was a most enthusiastic
one. Trumbull and Sehurz were receive!
with tumultuous cheering, which, however,
was surpassed by the enthusiastic applause
from all sides when Horace Greeley appeared
011 the platform and took a seat near
the speaker's stand. Trumbull spoke with
great energy arid' tiro. Schurz was calm,
dispassionate but very earnest.
The following declaration of principles was
adopted at the opening of the meeting:
That political action in individuals and
conventions should he free from the influence
of political patronage; that business
men should not, under the fear of unjust
official interference in their affairs, be compelled
to pay tribute 1??r political purpose.-;
that public officers are. or should be, created
for public convenience, not as rewards for
partisan services nor tor personal aggrandizement;
that the acts of offi ials should
he contin <1 within the strict letter of the
law; that the triumph of Republican principles
is of paramount importance to the
country; that the success of these principles
in the apptoaching national election should
not depend upon any one individual; that
the prosperity of the country demands a
thorough, radical andf immediate reform in
all the depaitmcnts of the public service,
civil, military and naval, aud that the "oneterm"
principle for the presidential office
will conduce more to that einl than any other
measure.

? Daddy Cain sa\s, men scratch their
beads and feel in their pockets but find nothing
in either place but pay certificatesat
a discount of fifty per cent. Altogether
he thinks it a good time for somebody but
bad for other bodies. The last dollar
filched from the treasury, and the last railmad
bond given away, by the legislature.
Daddy says he means to nominate a man
soon,oDe who don't care about money.
That's the kii*b retch him out. We yo
for him.
ANOTHER BURGLARY.
The burglars are encouraged. The '
ease with which the attempt upon the
house of Diana Chisolm was glossed over
leads the fraternity to think it a safe and
profitable business. The house of H. G. |
Judd was entered on Saturday night. The
robber entered the sleeping room of Mr. J
Judd and carried off his clothing, fifty
dollars in money, a gold watch and his
keys. The next night the clerk's office j
at the court house was entered by means
of the keys obtained the niglit before at j
Mr. Judd's. Nothing 'was obtained as
far as known. We recommend our citizens
to keep a sharp look out upon these
fellows and shoot them on sight. Kill
them first and try the case afterwards.
Old Nick will not pardon them out.

The crew of the ship Rbbena, Daggett,

Commissioner II. G. Judd on Monday, 1
charged with mutiny in refusing to woik ''
the vessel. The crew claimed that by !
reason of the Itohena dropping anchor in 1

captain coutended that Savannah was a
port for orders and that the crew were
compelled by the artichs to work the ship
to Bull River. The crew were sent to

Colored Ku-Klux in Beaufort County.
On Tuesday of last week, near Graham- j
ville, in this county, a youcg man named \
Farr, while riding toward the town on a j
mule, was halted by a voice from a thicket
by the roadside. Turning his head he |
saw a man, armed with a gun, emerge !
from the bushis, whose face was concealed
by a quantity of grey moss, his hands j
showing him to be that of a negro. The
young man spurring up his auimal to j
escape was tire 1 upon by the highway mm. ,
The ball passed through tlu ppel of his ;
coat aud entered the shoulder 01 the mule,
, without, however, inflicting a disabling
wound. Seeing that the attempt was
futile the Ku Klux disappeared into the (
woodsOn
the same afternoon a lady named
Dupout, living near Grahamvil'e, return- {
ing to her house after a brief absence, saw
a man jump from a window. Over his
fate was a white cloth, with eye holts in
1 it. His hands, also, showed him to be a
colored man. lie had *robbed the house |

of mout v and silverware.
J i
Tornado near Pocotaligo.
A severe tornado passe 'wer the plantations
in the vicinity of Pocotaligo on the
9th inst. A correspondent of the Courier
describing it, says:
''Between two and three o'clock on that
day a five minutes' breeze passed through
the fields, rumpling things generally. Lnmistakable
indications of a coming storm
drove us in doors, and we had scarcely
entered the house, when a peculiar roaring
sound caused each of us to exclaim: "What
is that?' Our query was not addressed to
the wind, but from it came the answer. Before
any one perfectly realized .what was
going On without, all was over. A tornado,
with unpitying force, had done its work.
The barn theu (plate and all) was thrown
fifty feet or more, and completely demolished.
Our entire line of fencing was scattered, and
trees fifteen inches in diameter were snapped
and thrown twenty feet. The fields in
every direction are covered with branches of
trees, which must have come from a distance.
These are the most apparent effects of the
storm. The damage was considerable."
The phenomenon appears to have been
very similar to that which passed ftearBefiufort
in 1805, destroying the quartermaster's
village and killing and wounding several
persons.
Mr. S. M". Wallace, performed a gallant
action, at great pe'rsonal risk, in stopping a
lady'8 runaway horse on Bay street last
Wednesday. He has the thanks of the
lady and her family.
ttrkT^Tbe tornado of last week struck
the plantation of) Mrs. Lucinda Smith on
Cypress Creek five miles from Gillisoriville
teaiing up trees and destroyed every
krmoo in thfi nlnpA pxcpnt one stable.
Mrs. Smith was slightly hurt by a rafter
from her falling house.

Lafayette, Ind., April 8, 1872.
I sent you in one of my former letters a r
short account of the Southern Railway at
from Cincinnati, and have intended to ^
1 give your readers a comp'ete history of
this great undertaking. The Gazette of ^
Cincinnati has received communications
from Mr. Habersham, and Judge King of j S(J
the Georgia railways giving some iuform 11,1
ation and advice respecting the vaiious |
routes from Cinciunati to the South At- |
lantic. From this coriespoudcnce I make 1 j?
some extracts. Both of these gentlemen
assume that Cincinnati can come by Knox- , j.j
ville. Mr. Habersham speaks of the rail- , ^
way from Fort Royal towards Augusta ^
and the recent agreement m i le between
1 - - - .1
lh:s road and tli^s (ieorgia it it., ana men i
says: j
"Port Royal is not only a very fine port. ! 0,'
but the only one fiffbr the purpose?nearer ^
to St. Ljui> than New York by about 100 ! "
miles, and than Charleston by do miles, and B
than Brunswick by f>0 miles. It is the near- 0f
est point to Cincinnati, and can be reached >j']
tliiough Rabun Gap by the shortest and .,
; Cheapest line possible. | "
1 ?ill say that the host route attainable to
for a road from Cincinnati would he via p;
Knoxvillc to Rabun Gap, by way of the Lit- s
tie Tennessee, thence along the Savannah to ,
' Kiherton; thence, a little above Augusta!
(crossing the Georgia Railroad), to the I'oit Ps
Royal road, now building; thence by a line II
twenty or thirt miles shorter than the one ' or
i adopted to Port Ro al ! >
j Also, the Rabun Gap route through An- , 11
gusta is shortest, whether by Kllierton or 1K
Nashvilleso that Augusta is the nearest at
point to the seaboard, and shot 11 be the ;l.
ganglion of all the system of railroads from
[ the Pacific, up to a line extending from Cape !
Pear, N. C.. through Cincinnati to the foot
of Lake Michigan, and as far South as Yicks- i
hurg. Moreover the road through Rabun
Gap to Augusta or Athens would strike the
\i.- Line iLiilntad' from Atlanta to Balti- i\
more, through to New Orleans, at the loot of ^
tin; mountains. and thus heroine a main
North rn link of the chain of roads from the
south of Georgia. M
I may remark that our railroads have (j|
heretolorc hern huilt on 'ephemeral' eondi- ..
! tion , hut there are certain laws and natural
features which must determine finally the v*
j main arteries. There are suitable harbors Ji
I in both oceans. The shortest available route 1
! between them and a passage through eoun- j
i tries of interchaugeable productions is the 1
: problem. This last can not he overlooked, i
Without this condition, Norfolk and Haiti- oj
more wotdd be the most available ports for Si
Ohio, since they are as near to Cincinnati as I
l'ort Royal, with a commerce already estab- m
iished. Hut the production* of the two T
untries arc the same, so that the trade be- th<
reen them must be with foreigu countries. th<
ow, this foreign trade can also be had of
rough Port Poj'al, with the addition of the an
gar, rice, cotton, naval stores (meaning Th
rnentine, of which this country is full), on
id early horticultural productions of much ela
inner latitudes. Therefore, Port Royal pel
ust become, other conditions being equal, ex>
e port of Ohio. The Union Pacific, the (tl
orthern Pacific, and other future Northern til
utes, will meet at Council Bluffs; bptPort Pr
oval is as near to Council Bluffs as Utica 1$
New York, and Chicago is as near to Port dit
oyal as to-New York City, so that the nat- th<
al course of trade will seek its terminus at an
ort Royal as a depot of the produations of ad
e country', south of a line from Cape Fear, lat
rough Cincinnati to Alaska, and of the tea pe
ide of China. This last; I think, will find
i depot for the United States in the sand cis
11 region, near Augusta, Ga., as will also a an
eirt va. iety of goods that do not keep well tal
i the salt water, or in moist climates. Now, ioi
incinnati is on the extreme northern verge du
this area, and may be obliged to depend
i her custom east of the Mississippi and Q]
;st of Pennsylvania; but could she cut a
nai from Luke Michigan to her wharves,
ie might secure the great wheat trade of
liieago. have her elevators on the deep (
ater of Port Royal, and receive her foreign
ichange for the same at a time when all the bu
ore iwrthern routes ave bound 'by ice and jn
iow. Tiie earliest spring and latest fall
ade would thus enable her to supply the
hole conntry, while^New York and Phila- th
slphia, by the storms of Cape Hatterasand Sa
ust. were suffering blockade. Under these ^
editions I suggest a road from Cincinnati l
Rabun Gap, and to the Air Line Railro id c
om Atlanta to Baltimore would thus con- &

The editor of the Guz tte says in his edi- pa]
rial comments, that Rabun Gap is un- er(
mbtcdly the gate of the South Atlantic and ^
at if the South Atlantic be the objective jn
>int Knoxville is the best route and will be
ade by the Kentucky Central R. R. exten- m
en. As reg rds the canal from Like Mich- tw
an to Cincinnati, that is improbable; but h'
canal from Lake Michigan to Lafayette, ^
;e head of navigation on the Wabash river. gv
id thus gaining water communion: ion to the bt
hio, is among the probabilities of the near tw
ture. As regards Chattannooga as an ob- P
ctive point for the Southern railway, it will ar
; seeu that that city has connections with
le South Atlantic as follows: ot
1. The Charlotte, X. C., Columbia and 'a
ugusta road, 192 miles. |
2. The South Carolina road from CharU - . tj,
>n to A igusta, 137 miles. th

d was argued at the last term of the court.
ie Court of Claims dismissed the petition
the ground that it did not aver that the
iuiant had not given aid or comfort to the
hellion, and that it did not sufficiently aver
ecutive pardou. The Chief .Justice held
ie same as in the case of Arastrong vs.
lited States, recently decided.) that the
esident's proclamation of December 26,
G8, granting pardon and amnesty uncouionally
and without reservation, relieves
3 claimants, in all cases under the Chptured
d Abandoned Property Act, from proof of
hesion to the United States during the
e war, and the judgment dismissing the
tition was ieversed.
It will he seen that this is the second deion
of the kind that has been rendered,
d already many persons in the South have
ten advantage of it. Under these decisis
most of the propert/ taken at the South
ring the war can be reclaimed.
