Tbe ship subsidy bill has passed the United States Senate, after various wholesome amendments had been made to tbe original bill. The final vote on is passage stood 42 for Qi oaointt S^vpral Republicans V\J t;JL ? t opposed the bill and so voted against its passage. Senator John L. McLaurin, of South Carolina, as was expected, voted for the bill. A line of steamers, controlled by American capital, from Charleston to various foreign ports?the Philippines and China, for instance?are some of the great possibilities of the future. The vote of Senator McLaurin on this measure is entirely consistent with his position as announced time after time on various public and private occasions. He may or he may Dot be right. Time will tell this. On general principles we are opposed to the sub sidiziog of one branch of industry to the neglect of another, yet circumstances very often alter cases and the subsidy of ships may be one of them. Bat be this as it may, we of South Carolina have been practicing the doctrine of subsidizing, in one foiSt or another, siDce the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. The State, under both Democratic and Republican administrations has from time immemorial been subsidizing her institutions of learning, mainly on the contention of their friends tbat the institutions could not possibly compete with denominational and private colleges without material assistance from the State, and at every sitting of the General Assembly large appropriations have been made for them to the injury of her denominational 8i8ter8. Be it understood that we by no means oppose the system of State aid to her schools and colleges which she has subsidized, nor do we claim that the State has been the loser by * making provision for their maintenance, for such a contention would do violence to our convictions and would not be in accord with the teachings of history. South Carolina, the Citadel, Clem8on and Winthrop have each contributed men and women who have made her history illustriOJ8 in times of war and of peace. The point we wish to bring out is whether the theory of subsidizing is a Democratic doctrine or not? If it is not, then the Damocrats of this State have for years been rolling under their tougue as a sweet rnorsal a Republican principle which they now condemn others for doing, by providing th6 means for a literary and professional training for her youth, and until very recently withholding aid from those of her sons who desired to learn the science of tilling the soil. Again under a Simon pure (?) Democratic Administration the State subsidized her cotton manufacturing industry to the extent of a rebate cf taxes for 10 years simply toencourge this infant industry, when she denied the same "encouragement" to struggling and down trodden agriculture and her other dependant industries. Yet, under our Southern political teaching it can be possible that for Congress to subsidize ships is the essense of Republicanism: and for South Carolina to subsidize her collcnroc bar nnflnn factories and her UVt. wv?w? railroad?, may be unadulterated Democracy, but where the difference comes we acknowledge our inability to comprehend. There is good argument both pro and con, but if it is true, as contended by its advocates, that the subsidizing of steamships by the national gov la?????n?m*w?? ernment owned by Americans and built in America from American ma terial, will enable them to compete with ships owned by foreigners at whose mercy is placed the entire foreign commerce of the United States, then it may be wisdom for the government to give that aid irrespective of party policy. As it is the carrying of Americen commodities is doDe by vessels flying the flags of foreign governments to the disadvantage of and discrimination against the American producer. American vessels will open up ports which are not reached by the American trader and thus give him an opportunity to compete under as favorable condi of orvc nfher rmtinn. . tlUiiS WilU IUUOC *jx UL J ? ? John Hud60D, Money Hudson and Jack Stentnell, three young white men, were convicted of manslaughter at Walhalla on the 13th inst, and were each sentenced by Judge Gary to six years in the State penitentiary. These young meD, together with i other neighbors, undertook to cor' rect a social evil and rid the commu1 nity of the presence of a white wo1 man with a disreputable character by taking the administration of the law into their hands. During the attempt the woman was accidentally or otherwise killed. The killing was the occasion of much excitement and the conviction of the men was one cf more so. General C. Irvine Walker, Commandant of the South Carolina Division of the United Confederate j i-:_ Veterans, has tormany announpeu ms acceptance of the invitation of the people of Greenville to hold the next reunion of the Division in that city this year, and the people of Greenville have gone actively to work to make arrangements for the proper entertainment of the battle scared veterans during their stay. We have been informed by State Senator Sharpe that he has fully determined to enter the campaign as a candidate for Comptroller General, and that he has received very flattering encouragement from all over the O w State. Senator Sharpe is a very strong and popular young men of un questioned ability and as a stump speaker he has few equals and no superiors. The man who defeats him in the race will have well earned his victory. We have doubts about the body found in EJisto river being that of the notorious Bartow Wairen. The evidences of identification are too incomplete to be at all satisfactory. Even the Coroners jury, which viewed the body and heard- the testimony, was UDable to identify the body as that of Warren and so found a verdict that "the man was unknown to them and that he cams to his death by accidental drowning." The labor troubles up North seem to have been smoothed over for the time being. These disturbances be _1 T tween capuai ana iauor aiwayts nave a demoralizing effect upon both interests no matter which wins. It is a great pity that the government cannot see its way clear to create a board of arbitration before whom all differences arising between capital and labor can be amicably adjusted with exact justice to all parties interested.
