The Chapter Ended.
Georgia has ratified the fifteenth amend
ment and completed tlie uumbcr of States
necessary to make it a p u t of tho Constitution
of the United States. This is tho last of the
questions wb?oh( wore given to the country by
the war, and its adoption .concludes all con
tentions as to the civil and political status of
tho nogro. This issub has hitherto bound
together the radical par! It must now seek
a new principio of unio... Tho negro has
served its purpose to the end. Ile has boon
made a freeman, then a eitizon, and voter in
the South, and lastly, has been invested With
all tho rights of a citizen of tho United States.
Hore tho chapter cuds. His disappearance
as an element in polities will necessitate tho
formation of new combinations upon uew aud
different topies. Sociul equality will not do.
Tho radical party cannot succeed against na
ture. Society has always p/esoribed its own
laws, and any attempt to defeat this power
must end in disaster. In view of this wo
bnvo. much to hope for, nnd much to eocour
ago us. The fanatical! zeal with whioh tho
radicals have pressed tho claims of the negro
ag..inst tile opposition of the South, has turn
ed public, attention away from financial und
3thor important matters. Herc now we can
rest and review tho situation. Every prac ti
sui issue of the radical party has matured in
juoccss, and thc fruits are before the country.
The States lia vc been made ciphers, thc gen
eral government having usurped all power
not delegated to ic. Tho judiciary has been
tcstrioted in its powers to suit a corrupt Con
gress. Intelligence and morality havo been
lisfrancbiscd in the South, and ignorauco
3nfranchised. Assessors and collectors cat
np the substance of the citizen without di
minishing tho public debt. Political deform
ity, corruption ond extravagance exist on nil
ndes. When the mist and fogs of negruisui
lisipate, and thc people get a clear view of
he field of radical (mis)rule, covered with
lebris of liberty, there is a hope for tho Deni
icratio party.

South Carolina Railroad Company,
lo Our issue of Wednesday wo published
the ^roooodingi of a Committed of the Senate
on the mn ito-1 of the freight ohnrgos of the
South Carolina Railroad, belv/een Camdon
and Kingsville. These proceedings were
based upon a complaint made by. n morohant
of the'former plaoo. Tho South Carol ina
Ruiltoud Company is the property of a num
ber of our citizens, who aro poor;' many bave
saved btit little else from tho wreck bf the
war. It is important to thom that tho value
of their property should not be unfavorably
affected by representations not- correct in
point of facti or of facts ff rca tiff exaggerated
and distorted, to gratify personal feeling, or to
promote selfish ends. Wo know thoso who
have boen entrusted with tho munagemout of
this property. Wo know, also, what labors
and difficulties they hnvo hud to encounter iu
providing for tho publie a highway, and ac
commodations M of inferior to thoso onjoydd
in any section of thc Southon) country. Wo
know further that it is claimed and wo believe,
justly, that their rates of freight and pussugo
ure to-day lower than any in the State or near
it. Still wo bear this clamor kept up, nod its
! continuance forces US to conclude that there
is something more in it than appears on tho
surfnoo. ' To do justico, therefore, to all par
ties, wo sought out information .from thoso
, whom wo regarded authorized and able to
furnish it, and ascertain the facts of this ease
to bc simply those: That tho parties who
complain in this case have never approached
j the Directors of tho Company with any ?tate
mont of their grievances : that thc South Car
olina Railroad Compiuy hus no such charges
per 100 pounds upon any of its freight tariff-;
us ure stated in thc reports ; that its chr.ges
for freight from Camden to Kingsville aro
precisely the ta.mo ?8 they arc for similar dis
tances from Charleston, from Columbia, or
from Augusta.
Now wc confess, with these statements bo
foro us, we are at a loss to comprehend tho
necessity of the proceeding to which we aro
referring. The Railroad Committee has
clearly not sent for persons and papers.
But wo hoar still more. It will bc boroo
in mind, that the burden of thc complaint is,
that thc South Carolina Railroad does not
work thirty-eight miles of its lino in connec
tion with thc Wilmington and Manchester,
and Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, and
the railroads leading through Wilmington to
Baltimore, which is u competing line, so ns to
destroy the trude of its own lino to Charleston,
the interests of tho City of Charleston and of
tho State, und tho steam ships which have
cost so much effort and money to establish.
for tho very purpose of ffivit.ff Camden and
all other inland cities it route North over their
own line and through their own city. Nor
what are these very competing railroads doing,
for whom this ruinous policy is invoked
pursuing the very identical practice which is
complained of, though in a ffrcally exaggera
ted form, of tho South Carolina Riilroad
Company. Wo understand that tho prieo of
freight on tho Wilmington and Manchester
Rail Road, (say a bah?, of cotton,) is as much
as from Sumter to KingvUlo, twenty-seven
miles, or Mars Bluff to Florence, ifo miles,
as it is from these places respectively io \y'|.
mington, over ono hundred miles, ls tin?
true? Tho same ia tho case on thc Char
lotte Road, nnd wo presume on every rn liront
in existence, n?d the renson is obvious. Iti?
found in the service and necessity of ever;
company to protect ?nd promote its owti inter
esta, and that interest is of course in tho di
rocftion of freight movements along thc enfin
lino oC its railroad, and to and through an im
portant torminal or initial point.
Nor aro the railroads mentioned in tin
complaint exhibiting any unusual liberality
in thc adoption o? what nppears to be a loi
tariff of charges, through, us compared will
the South Carolina R'hvj Road's lota I tariff
their effort is to divert n t-i.sinoss which doe.
not belong to them, and to do 8o, t?mpor?r?t,
estublish a very low rate of freight, for tlni
which comes from tho South Ott Ulina Rui
Road, and City of Charleston. Wvat ar
their local charges "I, '"Place those in conijnri
son with similar on the South Carolina Ri"
Road, before forming a too hasty conclusiot
But ure wc expected to manage our institutie
in the interest of competing lines of rail road
and distant communities ? Have the Stoel
holders of the South Carolina Rail Road e;
ponded vast sums of money to construct
long lino of Railway merely for the purpo;
of destroying four fifths of it? Has tho Ci
of Charleston and tho State contributed thc
best minds and their large moans to constru
a system of internal improvement, nt onoo
develop tho wealth of the interior and esta
tish nn influential seaport for thcmsclvc
and have their efforts turn to nought, ai
their work a curse, not a! blessing? V
imagine not !
Yet such results would surely follow t
policy indicated in the complaints before t
Legislature.- Charleston Courier,
Butler is trying to worm his way i
to tho White House. At ono of Go
Grant's state dinners thc tables glittered wi
gold plate. Tho next day Butler, in a sped
in tho House, ?poko of the President "tb
groat and good man." But of courso Gc
Grant has a safe plaoo for his plato.
IScBT Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, the
man's right woman, says "the woman ha
had a surfeit of mon for tho past six thousn
years." And yet Susan hos about as lit
cause to complain of such a surfeit as a
other woman on tho continent.
