The Largest Bona Fide Circulation.
A Railroad Consolidation.
Negotiations are now pending which
will, if concluded, have an important
bearing on the fatore of the Port Royal
as? ?~r u.
railroad company, iuo yaiuo ui iu
securities and on the prosperity of onr
port itself. The Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company naturally desire to
contiol absolutely and by right of
ownership an independent approach to
Charleston, Tort Royal and Savannah.
Their road really terminates at Augusta.
For though they have at present
an ontlet to the sea by the Fort Royal
railroad their control of it is contingent
and may be temporary. It is true
that the South Carolina railroad takes
their freight to Charleston and the
Central lead6 them to Savannah. These
roads at any time in the fotnre, as
they have in the past, may so arrange
tariffs as virtnally to destroy a profitable
through business on the Georgia
railroad. Already the Central diverts
western business from Savannah by
n discrimination against Angusta in
favor of the Macon route. If it were
m w% a U al
not lor I'ort Jtoyai conuecuuu me
Georgia would be at the mercy of the
Central in its efforts to reach Savannah
Important as the Georgia connection
is to the Port Royal road that connection
is less important to the greater
road.
But the Port Royal and Georgia
roads combined would yet lack an
important element of strength and
profit if it were deprived of the Savannah
and Charleston road as a secure
connection. Even were the brightest {
hopes and anticipations of our great
port answered by the springing np of
popnlons city at the terminus, Savannah
and Charleston would be cities
still whose trade would be valuable?
indeed greater than ever.
It is, therefore, proposed to effect a
practical consolidation of the three
railroads?the Georgia, Port Royal and
Savannah and Charleston?so that they
?211 l - no Ann *-r?orl nn^nr ABA
Will UV UJJOIOVGU in vuu ivku,
management. This will bring increased
efficiency, harmony and greater
economy?greater profits at reduced
rates of freight.
The details of the negotiation have
not yet transpired, but the terms are
said to be very liberal to the two smaller
roads, and will doubtless have the
effect to strengthen their securities by
assuring an abundantly self-sustaining
traffic to them.
This consolidation will lead at no
distant day to a still more powerful
and extended combination, reaching
from St. Louis to the South Atlantic
seaboard. It will probably include the
St. Louis and South Eastern, or the
Chattanooga, Nashville and North
Western, the Western and Atlantic
and the Iron Mountain. With such a
line under one management we should
have something like & Pensylvania
r'anfrai in Oia couth, atroncr enoueh to I
V/Vl*.*.,. ? , D
bid successfully for the Western trade
against the powerful direct east and
west roads centering at New York.
Its president would be the Tom Scott
of the south.
The Bonded Debt.
A republican official is writing about
the finances in the Union IlcraJd. From
his articles we make the following reBume
of the items of our bonded debt.
There has been an unusual amount of
0 discussion of the handed debt of the
State, and the status of all the new bonds,
cxccvt the "bonds to redeem the hills of
the Bank of the State," is being now
determined by the court.
Our bonded debt is reported by cxTreasurer
Parker as $15,X51,327.2". Of
this auiouut $4,221,827.35 was contracted
before the war; the remainder,
$11,635,500, since the war.
Of the amount coutracted before the
war, $1,257,788.41 is on account of the
building of the State House.
Of the ante helium debt, $966,000 was
contracted for building the lllue Kidgc
Kailroad?that magnificent failure.
The $1,189,600 to redeem the bills of
the Bank of the State is a legacy left us
by the former rulers of the State, and
the Republicans cannot be oharged with
the responsibility of creating this debt.
They simply changed it from a floating
to a funded debt.
The $1,197,000 of bonds issued to pay
the past due interest the Democrats are
responsible for, as it was to pay the
interest that had accrued previous to the
.Republican administrations.
Tho $4*4,000 of "bonds to redeem the
bills receivable'' is also lairly chargeable
to the Democrats, who attempted'provisionally
to reconstruct the State uudcr
president JohnsoD.
Thus 82.R70.0iH) of the bonded debt
contracted since the war, for which the
Republicans are generally held responsible,
must be added to the 84.221,*27.35
of the ante leUum uoudod debt making
$7,'>03,429.35, and charged to the
Democrats.
The remainder of the debt, the 8*56,000
of the 'relief of the treasury bonds,-'
the $4<V7,000 of the "land commission
bonds" and the $7,542,500 of the conversion
bonds are fairlv chargeable to
the Republican party. The proceeds of
the sale-of the "land commission bonds''
have been invested in lauds for the
benefit of the poor. The proceeds of
the soles, or the ni nev obtained by loans
on the "relief of the treasury" and
,'conversion bonds'' have been added to
the amount roceived from taxes to meet
the expenses of the government.
In the first place, we will state that a
little more than $1,000,000 of the entire
amount of "conversion bonds" issued
have been exchanged for other bonds,
now canceled and filed ib the treasury.
m accordance with the orvjnal intention
of the law. The remainder was either
sold or hypothecated for loans advanced
to the State, aud, the State being unable
to redeem them, tbey were forfeited aud
is thus a debt against the State.
The ex-trcasurer of the state?Mr.
Parker?reports, however, that he received
and used the money in behalf of
the state which was so obtained.
The bonds, are called fraudulent, and
the officers who signed and sealed them
arc said to be responsible for the alleged
trends. Again, they are said to be
fraudulently issued, and the financial
Board held responsible therefor.
Now, in answer to these charges we
will state, in tne first place, that the officers
who signed and sealed these bonds
acted entirely in accordance with law.
The bonds were legally authorized for a
specific purpose, and they were therefore
preparcaj-pn?tfd, signed and sealed.
It happened, however, that two of the
officers?the Governor and treasurer?
who were required to sign the bonds were
also members of the financial b^ard, to
whom the bonds after beiDg thus prepared
were turned over, and who were
chained by the law with the responsibility
of their issue, and who are now, therefore,
responsible for the manner in which
they fell into the hands of third parties
?that is by forfeiture as collaterals hySothccated
for loans to the State, or by
irect sales, instead of by exchange or
substitution for other bonds as onginaiiy
ih tended.
The " validating act*' has subsequent
ly authorized or legalized this mode of
issue.
The State certainly got some value for
the bonds, and used the money so received,
and thus taciriy endorsed the
action of her agents, the financial board,
who sold or hypothecated the bonds instead
of exchanging them for other
bonds, aboriginally intended.
The financial board, who are responsible
for the manner in which these bonds
were pat on the market, is not the present
but the previous one, consisting of exGovernor
Soott, oxTreasurer Parker and
ex-Attorney-General Chamberlain. They
claim, we believe, in justification of their
action, that, as a financial board, they
were vested with a general supervision of
of the finances, and, therefore, with the
right to act as they have.done; that the
State reoeived the money for which the
bonds were sold or hypothecated, and
that their management was subsequently
approved by the Legislature in tne passage
of the validating act.
THE WAY HOW NOT TO DO IT.
Mr. Editor .?It is gratifying to 6ce
that you are beginning to take the same
view of our local affairs as related to the
general government, which those more
intovooto/I lmvA bnM nnrl at.
UliWVblJ mivivcwuj ???w "viu mum v?.
pressed for some time past. Your late
leaders show unmistakeably, that even
Tub Republican is opening its eyes,
though late, to the true condition of
things. Your remarks arc most judicious
on the subject of the Trea sury Department
continuing to hold a large portion
of the landed property of Beaufort
County, and receiving the revenues arising
from rents &c., without paying into
our improvcrished treasury one cent of
tax. This necessarily imposes on the remaining
portion of the county an onerous
burden of taxation, such as an honest
and generous government ought promptly
to relieve. Now, is there auy man, in
Washington, or out of it, who can conjecture
the purpose of this long delay?
What good if accomplished; what good
expected to either of the parties interested
?
Last year a bill was passed in Congress.
ostensibly for the purpose of providing
facilities for the " redemption " of real
estate still in tho hands of the government.
Some thought they saw, in that
act, signs of a returning sense of justice;
and even ventured to pall it " the first
sten" towards remuneration for losses
sustained under the Direct Tax Act, and
its obnoxious administration. The more
judicious and far-seeing discovered, at
once, that it was preliminary to abandoning
property which "did not pay.?' In
the parlance of the day, it cost more to
run the machine than it was worth.
The numerous obstacles thrown into
the way of those endeavoring to avail
themselves of the late act, have suggested
to thoughtful minds the possibility of
designs, somewhere, to defeat its legitimate,
or avowed purpose ; and so impede
its operation as eventually, to render
a talc inevitable, in consequenco of
the expiration of the time granted.
While uuwilling to endorse the suspicious
of all malcontents, it is yet our duty to
look at things as they are:
Claimants put in their applications to.
redeem, expressed in such manner and
style as they deem suitable, no form having
been furnished. As every thing has
an end, so has the journey to AVashiogtou,
of one of these ill fated applications;
and it is believed that most, or all of
those handed in during the early part of
of the current year, have by this time,
reached their destination; notwithstanding
the delay attendant upon red tape,
a collar of which is indispensablo to secure
for each,?like the canines on our
street",?a safe conduit on their fruitless
journey. To be serious: An application
is sent in, setting forth the nature of
tenure by which the claimant holds his
lauds, its name and bouudarics arc given,
and every particular by which claimant
and land could be identified. This is
verified and vouched by the clerk of
a court of record and duly fortified by
seal. Consigned to tho charge of the
Department Official, an interval of several
months occurs; at the expiration of
which, the expectant claimant receives
by mail an immense, official document
1 nrnl ro/lnnmAil ? plflimiinf 1Q in>
formed that no such tract is known to
that office; forsooth, because the immaculate
Brisbane and-his pliant coadjutors,
?creatures of the department,?had
maliciously changed the name at the
time of sale. In the case of city property
the same cunning trick was practised;
the names of all the streets changed, and
the numbers of the lots altered. Here,
however, the ]>oor claimant identifies his
lot by the plat of the town, and wisely
applies for it by its modern designation.
An obstacle must be fonnd to this also :
Here the realty is identified; but, lest
the claim proceed to its tardy maturity,
olaimant Is informed that the ownership,
must be better established than by affidavit
certified by the above clerk of court
Where the titles have lev a tU .-:r'>;. < 1
what other evidence can Le offered ?
Where the titles are entire and in claimants'
poscssion, a certified copy would
still depend upon the integrity of the
said clerk of court, known only by his
hand and seal. Now, if this Redemption.
Act be a bona fide proposition to render
justice and right, why not simply, and
without prevarication, restore the property,
upon payment of the tax and changes,
to that precise status which it occupied
be/ore the tax act,?or before the
war f The courts of the state are quite
competent to adjust any subsequent
difficulty which might arise between contending
parties.
After exacting the tax, the expenses
of every conceivable kind, and the exorbitant
interest of ten per cent, per
annum, the question seriously presents
itself to us, are our depreciated lands

dilapidation and decay, the government,
or its officials deriving all the revenues,
and paying no taxes, exortionate charges
levied, and all manner of obstacles and
encumbrance interposed to the operation
of the act, shall we attempt to redeem ?

"Dulce el decorum art piopatria mori.''
The New York Sun is doing
good service to the country by exposing
the reckless and rascally character of the
Board of Public works of the District of
Columbia. It shows the debt aocumulalated
in two years to be 814,517,997. A
large portion of this consists of approved
bilk, such as were found by Comptroller
Knox among the assets of a saving bank.
The Sun says:
These certificates and bonds stand exactly
on the same footing as the " Bullock
bonds, " which were found among
the assets of the broken Brooklyn Trust
Company. They, too, had all tne external
forms like these, but were none the
less infamous frauds, against which
bankers were warned at the time. A
moneyed man or institution that would
deal in such trash is unworthy of confidence,
and ought to break.
Let us not forget the costly lesson
taught by the unexpected suspension of
the Ohio Life and Trust Campany in
1858, which precipitated the crisis that
overwhelmed so many in a sweeping
disaster.
The New York Bulletin notes the advance
in ocean freights, one cause of
which, it says, is the increased business
with foreign countries ; another the unussally
large uumber of vessels lost at sea
?lina rediwinir the amount of tonaee
available. It adds : " For the last seven
or eieht years, the losses of sailing vessels
nave been five for overy one nnilt.
The usual number of vessels lost during
the year is ubout fifteen hundred, but
during 1872 the losses numbered two
thousand six hundred, and cigh v-. iree.
These losses, of course, have h^i ;heir
effects on the> freight market. also on
the business in ship-building.
President Grant and the Salary Increase.
A Washington dispatch to the St.
Louis Republican says, parties who have
visited Long Branch recently, and who
have conversed with the President, state
that he is considerably exercised over
the criticisms that have been made by
the public pross upon the Congressional
salary increase. They assert that the
President will favor a repeal of the law
at the next session of Congress. What,
ever Congress may do the salary of the
President cannot be changed as the Constitution
provides that the compensation
of the President shall not be changed
during his term of office.
Up iii a Balloon.
If the present balloon undertaking results
in entire failure, it will at least
have had the effect of renewing the
popular interest iu the science or art of
aeronautics. The New York Graphic,
under whose auspices Prof. Wise is planing
his voyage, contains, day after day,
interesting letters on the upper air currents
and Kindred subjects from some of
the leading scientific men of the country.
Thus, in its issue of the 9th. Prof.
Joseph Heury, of the Smithsonian
Institute, says all the observations lead
to the conclusion that there is n motion
of the atmosphere from west to east.
The only trouble is to find means to keep
the balloon at a sufficient height for a
sufficient length of time to make the
journey. He suggest that Prof. Wise
should first make a trip aoross the
country. To this Prof. Wise replies
that the balloon voyage of 1859, from
St. Louis to Jefferson County, Now
York, settled all that. Moreover, in
reference to the subject of the great
west-cast current, he says the Gulf stream
t, 'rcvrr^-r * ? 7*4fr??
cr< ates r. f-rrv iti that will tcke him ju?t i
where he wauu to ?u.
As to the time his balloon will retain
its buoyant power he cites the following
evidence:
The Giffard balloon, which made
ascensions from Ashburton Park, near
London. about three years ago, was
fully inflated fourteen days before making
her first ascent. At the end of that
time she went up with twenty-five people
; and, being a captive balloon, she
carried up three thousand feet of cable.
Thcv used a ten horse power engine to
wind it up. Well, after they came down
again, she was kept fast to her moorings
for twenty-five days, at the end of which
she made a second ascent with a crowd
of people. Then when they came down
the balloon was again moored, and they
expected to make another trip, but it
happened that the cable slipped off the
pully, between it and the block, and the
1 result was that the cable broke, and the
balloon went off?nobody knows where.
An Obstinate Bace' Horse.
H. P. McGrath'B bav colt, Tom Bowling,
is an obstinate, though fast brute,
now the hero of the racing season at Long
Branch, and apparently the rising king
of the turf. During the season just
closed "at the Branch" he won several
races, notable the Bobbins stakes, $1,000,
tvo miles, on Monday, beating Alice
Mitchell, Stonehenge and Lizzie Lucas.
As usual, Tom Bowling showed his customary
obstinacy at the post, and delayed
the start nearly half an nour. Refusing
to join his companions he dashed away,
and the bridle breaking, Bobby Swim,
finding himself unable to control the
horse, slipped out of the saddle; and
had not Ka Hnested, his colored groom,
' ?.1- 1.
nunc punHSLcuMy vu nia ua&, mc numv
would have broken away and probably
injured himself. As it was, his stable
attendant manfully kept his hold on him,
and although dragged some distance by
the p'unging horse, he eventually brought
him under control. This display of temper
made his backers lose confidence in
the favorite, but they had no chanco of
heiging their bets, for Mr. McGrath, the
owner, called out to the starter, '"Let
him go. however far he may be behind."
That offi in I obeyed the order, and when
he gave the word, Tom Bowling was ten
lengths behind the leading horse. At
the same moment his martingale broke,
and Bobby Swim, his jockey, did not
catch hold of the bridle reins until .the
horse had got half way to the club-house
turn. In spite of all these annoyances
he changed his mind and catnc in winnc,
iust to show what he could do, three
lengths ahead of Alice Mitchell.
?The movement looking toward the
formation of a new State out of North
Mississippi, West Tennessee and Western
Kentucky is being discussed with
considerable animation by the newspapers
published in the section interested. A
convention is to be held at Jackson on
the 20th inst, when delegates arc to be
present from every city, town and civil
district within the limits of the proposed
new State. The general sentiment seems
11 be in favor of the movement.
