Now it often happei that it is cheaper to manufacture b ateam on account of facilities an population at hand, than by water provided you can get cheap fue This road will ron through imment coal beds that can be mined, an distributed all along the line, fro: Estatoe Gap to the City of Charlee ton/for, 6ay, three to three and on half dollars per ton.

Le us keep our eons and daughters a home, by giving them employmen suitable to their needs, and our State will increase in wealth and populatior more rapidly than ever before. Besides, Mr. President, if the Stat* will help ne to build thia road bv giving the labor asked for, we will be able to seud our manufactured goods by return cars to the West, sc much cheaper, that we will capture that market by driving New England and Old England manufactures out o' it.

We ask it in behalf of the farmers a.ud planters, as a mat ter of justice to them. Charleston has had her canal built by the-S6ate, solid cash out of the tr eas ury;'_ Co lumbia is having her canal built at the expense of the State, by convict labor, and now will not Sen at ora open their big hearts to help the bone'and si jew to increase the taxable prop?; ty of this State by creating property that will be immediate in its results in reducing taxa'ion? The increase of taxable property since 1S77' has only been fifteen millions of dollars; but with a wise, progressive policy, it, no doubt, would have been .twice that amount. Rail Roads are imme diate in their developing tendency. They increase the great ^arteries of commerce, disregard distance,, and bring remote places into market at increased value and profit to the State. Then, Mr. President, I say let us use this convict labor, not in digging phosphates or making shoes and red stockings, to increase the wealth of individuals who belong to the privi leged class that pay no tax to the State, and Bend all they make by our credulity out of it. It is time for us tO take a calm purvey of our situa tion, and to Bee what we are and what we can be. With the means now in hat?d, ii wisely handled, w. prpjadi???;we can make South Ima the home of enterprise, p: ble employment for her som daughters, a happy, homogen eoe pie, who will scorn the blathe and demagogue .whose narrow wfth foulest speech, attempts fa the onward march of. progri South Carolina.

Despite the weather the comm is getting considerably warme? on the question of voting a subi ti on of $30,000, in bonds of the I to the 0. C. Q. & G. Railway. I first thougkt that little oppoi would be made to it, but the fr of the enterprise w> re mistaken has been developed that the maj of the.merchants are arrayed ag the measute ; and to such an e had strictures been made ou tl fi eera of the road, that Gov. Ha, the President of the Company, called on by a reporter for bot our newspapers herc, and io ter vi as to the truth of i certain report mail jpn a copy of the in ter vie it appeared in pr J ut, believing to be of interest to. your rea The arguments used by the op tion to the subscription, are ti bonded debt of the town would heavily on its citizens from incrc taxation, causing a shrinkage ii value of real estate ; that it vt keep away settlers, paralyze ness and prevent the prosperity the town ; that if the eubscrij was voted, there was no guare that.the money would be eipe in building the road ; that if spei the road, it would be to an ej thrown away if no other subecrip were voted along the line; and it was the policy of the CompaE employ convicts- to the exclusion damage of the honest labor of country. Gov.

Both sid are confident, and the vote will doubt be close. The recent freezes and hard weat er have seriously damaged the gra crops of this section. All of the la planting is entirely killed. Mai farmers will not replant, but, truf ing to a good crop year after a seve winter, will try cotton on the san ground. DOTS. Ex-Gov. Hagood on (he ('. C. G. & Railroad. Governor Hagood, President of tl Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chic go Railway Company, has lately live the two Aiken rapers his views as i the prospects of this great enterprii and is hopeful that arrangements wi be made by which it can be completei This road has been surveyed along i entire proposed route, which extent from Aiken, S. C., to London, Ky , distance of more than 400 miles i ?lmost an air line. In 1832 the com puny was formed by the consolidate of five independent railroad corpora tiona in the States of South and Nort Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky the franchises granted to each of th five comr nie? being transferred t the consolidated company. The stock holders of the consolidated rail wa; are the stockholders of the origina companies. A majority of the stool is held in South Carolina, has beei nearly all paid up, and has been ex pended in surveys and constructioi in this State. Of the 125 miles o the South Carolina division of thc railway, 50 miles are graded. Whei the consolidation was effected a con tract was made with the Atlanth and North- Western Construction Com pany, of New Jersey, for the building and equipment of the entire line fron Aiken to Loudon, Ky., the construe tion company to be paid in bonds o; the railway company. But it was stipulated by the con struction company that it should not be compelled to commence work until a contract was made for the sale ol the bonds of the railway c .mpany, the construction of the railway thus being made to depend entirely upon the prior negotiation of the sale of its bouda. A financial agent was ap pointed and sent to England, where he is now trying to uegotiati the bonds of the company. In spite of the depressed condition of railway securities, he has succeeded in at ract ing the attention of capitalists who are able to float the bonds of the road, and who will take hold of the enterprise as soon as them ia a reac tion in railwsy matters. The com pany has determined to raise money enougb. to finish the grading and to trestle and cross tie the road from Aiken to the mountains bvi securing the subscriptions of towns, townships, and counties interested in the road to the capital stock of the company. These ubscriptions will be made by a popular vote and will be collected by pecial taxation. The road, when completed, will bring Chicago 170 m<les nearer to Charleston than any other route, and will open up one of the richest agricultural, mineral, and j manufacturing sections of country in the South. I ?II i II? MU II- ?? nm-i III'III IM Lying by Telegraph. From the Columbia Register. "We find the following-item in Atlanta Constitution of Tuesday: " COLUMBIA, January 21.-Rep from Edgefield show a laments condition of affairs-.in some part that County. Lawlessness prevail an alarming extent, and the cri nais go scot free. Even the ne papers of the County declare- tba is impossible to check crime, i that courts of justice are failt there. Edgefield has always bo a bad reputation." \ i_\J(*! /? A more recklessly vile and si derous statement than the above rarely ever been condensed into few words. If it has been sent, we have reason to ?uppoe, by resident correspondent of that jc nal, he ought lo be thoroug ashame.} of himself for conccct such an item. Lawlessress does prevail tean alarming extent in EH field County and criminals do not sot free. The- newspapers pf Ed field County do not declare that i impossible to check crime and t courts of justice are failures th< and lastly, Edgefield his not alw borue a bad reputation. One paper in Edgefield Couti the Monitor, made certain grave legations concerning the adminisl tion of justice in that Coanty. Tu allegations when sifted out amoun to nothing more than the fact t two Trial Justices had imprope admitted certain | arties to bail. Th is not a County in South Carolina Georgia either where the same th might not have happened, for it i ?weil known fact that a great ml Trial Justices have had no le training and are sometimes no' e fici^ntly familiar with their pow and duties. The worst feature about the ab< little paragraph is this : . It is da: on the 21at instant, three days "al the publication ol' Solicitor Borhai letter in the Charleston News c Courier-a letter that fully cited the particulars and amply vindi ted Edgefield County rom the char that had been made. The liegt' of the 10th instant also commeu editorially on Solicitor Bonhai letter and expressed its gre it gratifi tion that the charges had beeu so f u and satisfactorily explained. We hi not seen a copy of the Monitor sii ' it made the charges that it die charges, by the way, not near sweeping as the correspondent char, not one, but all the Edgefield pap with making : but we have no doi that the editor of that paper, wht an honorable journalist, regrets t hasty statement which has been ma the basis of a wholesale slander ' the people of his County. The Ed, 1 field Chronicles only comment in gard to the matter bas been in < j planation of the real facts and vindication of the good name of ! County. 1 lu the face of all these facts, tl Columbia correspondent of the AtU ta Constitution, (who is also, we t derstand, the correspondent ol t Chicago Tribune and the New Yo Herald,) and who certainly rat ? read the daily papers, and must ha known the true status of the matt deliberately sits down and send;* i adispatch like th * above. It is share ' fol. He knows that a lie will trat ' a league .while truth is pulling on boots, and that his slanderous lit1 1 paragraph will go the roundu of t 1 press for weeks to come, and will 1 rolled as a sweet morsel under t . tongue of envy and detraction, b i what cares he ?. He ispaid to ?tri mfr^ .i 1 ?e^ircJM has to distort the tn|tb, even ifB hes to slander an important sectMj even if he has to stoop to meth? that bring disrepute upon the hone r able profession of journalism. I this correspondent had been uuintek tionally led *nt? a misstatement o facta he might be pardoned tor' tli< error, but here were all tho facti right before him, on the 18 h instant aud here ia his dispatch of the 21s instant. Shame ! Shame ! Our Allanta contemporary owee i to the people of Edgefield, and ro thc people of South Carolina, to proirpt ly publish the denial ol its correspo|i deut's statements. The Constitution knows the cjurae that as an honora ble journal it ehould take in th? premise*, and we hope it will at onc; do the proper thing Buller Ktbukes Udmuuds WASHINGTON, January 24 - Senaj, or M. C Butler, of South Carolin? had a very lively set to with Senatth Edtnundsduringihe executive session When the Senate w s coneideiing tht nomination of Emory Speer .to be United States Distiict Attorney foi Georgia, Butler opposed the nomtn-i? don on the ground that Speer had acted uu/airly in the prosecution ol the South Caroiina sleet.on cases Senator Edmunds made a very crusty speech, in which he dwelt upon the mortification he felt at the failure r? the trials. *He desciibed with biting humor Speer's imprudence iu crossing the line and venturing upon the sacred soil of South Carolina. He then went on to describe the trials as a farce, and said that Speer, as the special counsel for the Government, had been openly insulted in court by Youmnns, the chief counsel for the defence. Youmans was a former law partner of Senator Butler, and Butler at once, sprang to his defence. He said thal the Vermont Senat >r had been misin ' formed and misled by certain news j paper publications upon the subject He (Butler) was present duaojf th^ trial and could give evidence rebuk ing the charge. ' \ Edmunds then said that he^had written a letter to Judge Bond, who presided at this trial, and that the Judge had replied that the newspaper reports of Speer's treatment in court were substantially correct. "Then," said Butler, "the Judge convicts himself of incapacity to prop erly discharge the dutiea ol his office^ If] any such thing had occurred it would have been the duty of tne Judge to protect the counsel." Butler continued, saying that the proof that there waa nothing in these cases iay in the fact that not a single conviction had re sulted. The Vermont Senator had smiled grimly at this and said that it must be remembered that these trials took place in South Carolina. "But," said Butler, "you must also remember that the trials took place in the United States .Court, where ihe power o. the Goverment was represented by unusual means icr carrying out, a prosecution. You had the machinery for packing the ' jury in your banda and yet not a sin gle con.ictiou .was obtained." Elmnuds then sai l that he had rt ad the te timony in those cases and he waa ot the opinion that there should have beeo convictions. Buller replied: "It is only your opinion. I, too, have read the testi mony, and I tell yon that tiierx ia not a northern State where a dog would be convicted upon such testimony." This sort cf talk went on for tea or filteen minutes Butler in onf in stance charged that the Republicano had bought Speer and that the orine of District Attorney was given to him a* the price of bis Dew allegiance. "Take bim, ' said Butler ''You are welcome to him." It was only towards the last of the spat that Senator Lamar spoke. He rose for the purpose of explaining why he should vote for the confirm -dion. It was in puisuance of bia policy ol votio^Jor all nominations of the Ad micis^etio.n^wbere there was nothing shown to prove disreputable character. Lama* then uttered one sentence of comment upon Edmund's criticism ol Southern State ai?urs He said that Edmunds had evidently intended to be as offensive as possible to the Southern Senators, and that 8 far as be was concerned be bad thoroughly succeeded, but he said nothing ab"Ul severing personal relations. To this Edmunds made no reply. The Laie Mrs. Jane Perry Butler. " Richland," the Columbia corres pondent of tbe Augusta Chronicle, speaking of the Nexos and Courier's admirable dei-ign of securing and publishing sketches of the expert encftg of Southern women during the war, relates the following: Many of your readers w ill recol lect the instance of Gen. Butler's mobber taking the oath at Edgefield 3rt House, and ber proud reply to would-be courteous ioe. Mis er 8 grandfather waa a di-^tin t?'t?8hed naval officer; her uucle, Mathew Oalbrai h Perry, was a Com modore, and her father was Commo dore Oliver Hazird Perry of Like Erie fame. Her husband's father was a gallant army officer of tbe Revolu tion. Her husband was a captain in the regular army prior to the late war and served his cour try faithfully, whilst one of bis brothers was a Ubited States Senator and another Governor of South Carolina. Mrs. "Butler, being a widow, found it nec essary for the proper transaction of some legal matters to take the hated oath. The officer who presented her to the commander of the post, tnink J^ng to win favor for her with the lit tle despot of an hour, began to give him a list of tbe distinguished ineu with whom she was allied. The no ble lady stopped him and said : "I prefer to be known as the mother or Gen. M. C Butler, of the Confederate army." Her fame should rival that Jof the distinguished English woman, whose epitaph readu : "Sidney's sister ; Pembroke's mother; Death ! ero thou hast Blain auother, Wise and great and good as she, Time uh til throw a duri at thee." Oae of Senator Butler's Late Itcso lutious Becomes a Law. On Wednesday of last week, Sen ator M. C. Butler call d up his reso lution, that each Senator, except the chairmen of standing or select com mittees of the Senate, shall be entitled to a clerk or secretary at a salary ol $1,000 annually, the same to be paid out ot the contingent iuud of the Senate. In supporting this measure he Slid : " I shall not detain the Senate more than a moment, and simply to say that there are now forty-one Senators holding the posi tion ofchairm u of committees, stand ing or select, in the Senate, leaving thirty- five without clerical assistance ; so that if the resolution pass it would ??Mttja? lite appointment of but thirty-, five addifional clerks l?rTBe fceflaie.TT In offering the resolution I bad no design of increasing what are knov/u as the personal perquisites of Senators. My ol ject was eimpiy to increase th? clerical loree of the S-?nate, and iu my judgment inc.ease the efficiency ol the public service. I simply ask a vote upon the resolution without ?utther remarks." The resolution prevailed by a vote of 30 to 13-both Carolina and Georgia Senators voting 'aye."
