Tho Air-Line Railroad
This great enterprise is being pushed for- {,
ward with an cucrgy and ability worthy its tl
' importance as a communicating line between cl
the North and South. Tho contracts for
grading have been let out to Greenville C.
it on ooo end, and for some miles this sido
of Gainesville ou. live other. The location of J
the road bed between these points is being
tnade, and in ult brobability it will be known J
in a short time whether or not Walhalla will *
be a point on tho Imo. This is of vital im
portance to our people Crossing south of 8
Walhalla, it would distract our trude und im- i
pair our market, working a general injury.- v
Hore are our schools and colleges and ^
ohurchos. Here is our legitimate market,
' arid it is to tho interest of every ano to build "
up and strengthen it. This would be secured
Wy the location of tho'Air-Lino Road by the j
town. A?dorson is awakening to her true
interest*, and, a* a largo meeting last week, (
adopted resolutions, appointing a committee
to confor with President BUFORD and present ,
tho claims of Anderson, We, too, havo
spoken, and, we trust, in a moro impressive
way. Two hundred and-fifty thousand dol
lars will be heard and considered, and should
have more weight than ompty expressions of
kindness and good will toward the road -
Put we should not stop boro, nor anywhero
this sido of success, while that is possiblo.

"Our Trouble."
Tho Lieutonnut Governor, in one of n BO
riei of artiolcs appearing in the Republican,
under tho ubovo caption, asks tho "inomen- I

What tho People 8ay.
Tho white people at York hold a meeting
: on Saleday, nud adopted thu following pr eu m*
bio and resolutions. Wo copy from tho
Enquirer :
Without intending to justify tho nols of
violcnco whioh havo been committed hi this
county, it is proper to set forth tho fact that
the negro radical government, of this State is
responsible for all the evils that ?ire upon us.
lt will be recollected that tho Union Ko
form party, at tho hist elections, proposed to
'Miry tdl political issues ; to divido tho offices
of St?to and County, nod legislativo scats
with tho colored race; to unite in earnest ef
fort to administer the government in tho in
crcsteof no class or party, but for thu beno
it of ?ll.
This reasonable offer was rejected-tho
ntag minni of races was preferred ; the black
oto was massed against the whiteman, us an
ucmy to his race. The result, is before us :
i negro legislature, negro militia, negrojus
ces, constables and polio-men-thu whola
irpct-buggcrs and negroes. Alen from nil
tates, except South Carolina, govern und
ile South Carolina. Men who own no foot
laud in tho State, and have no sympathy
1th our people, impose thu taxes, make tho
?pmprlations und fix-their own salaries!
io naiivu South Carolinian, who pays thc
xes, and supports tho government", is as
wel les*-voiceless in .its hallali legislation
as a marble statua ! Shame, upoin the party
it, with Federal bayonets, forged such a
vmninent upon such a people-upon men
their own race and cunt ry. The deed
? butchered the civilization of the State.
0 mo ruled hy ignorance, and conn pt iou
rsc thun ignorance; and by sharp knaves
rsc than either.
Taxation without rc presentation is the
sc of any people, and we form no cxcccp
1 to the rule.
