Dear Courier i It isa pleasure- to oom muuioato with pur mutual friends, whon I havo anything ?utertaining or important to their interests to relatd This ruroly Occurs ia these days of rclllshlicss, ignoran?o and corruption. lOvery ono is too touch exercised iu tho prosecution of his individual iutorcsts to study or encourage thc gcnoral good. Homo, in her palmiest days, pronounced him a vir tuous and patriotic citizen who placed tho publio weal abovo bis personal aggrandizo mont. Such a pcoplo ouoo inhabited this country, but thc raoo is pretty woll extinct. Personal nod party success is tho present mo ivo power in all matters of private oi\torpriso md public good. Hut there is no dfesert but ios its oasis, and now and then, in this day nd time,- a measure of gonorul interest is doptcd. .ft This is tho case in tho redaction of passon er and freight rates on tho Greenville and lolumbia Railroad. Thc Di rooters of this >ad have been in session herc for several days uring tho past week. Creswell & -Co. b'av ig found Railroad jobs profitable in this tate, desired to leaso the G feen ville and Co unbia Railroad for twenty-five yoars. Th'oy roposcd to take tho road, pay off its debt, id at tho expiration of thc loaso turn P vcr i tho Directors in as good condition as at .cscnt. While thc Directors were consider g tho proposition, they withdrew tho offer, ho Hoard then made ono step in the right rcctiorj : They reduced thc fare for passen rs from nix to five cents "per mile, and sight (except cotton with rope tic.<}) tn Uko oportion. Tho freight on bales of Cotton tb rope tics was increased. This was done cause of its greater liability to destruction fire, and consequent loss to thc Company, j thc Hoard, nt the next meeting, will take other stitch in tho BIIIIO direction, wo feel ro thc ultimate effect will bo nu increase of 0 annual income. Of course timo must be owed for those reductions to havo their due igbt, but wc entertain no doubt of the final cot.
