It is a pleasure to drop in the Senate and watch the aVility with which this gentleman presides over that body. He Is well versed in parliamentary \ law, and is fair and just in all his ruliugs. In ability and a general knowlcdgo of the rules which govern legislative bodies, , he is the peer of any man that ever pre . Bided over a South Caroliua Senate. Hia popularity is great with his party, and it not unlikely that he will be a candidate for the office of State Treas .u.rer next year. One so modest and unassuming would look real well iu the ? Trdasnry after we have had so much tceight and pomp in that office for four years. The defeat of L. O Northrop for the Third Circuit, may be attributed to the rule or ruin clique that revels in corrup lion at Columbia. If Moses cannot elect himself to office, or so mo of his asso - dates in crime, he prefers to soc a Democrat carry the day. How any decent man could havo voted for F. J. Moses, Jr., without doing violonco to . bis conscience, is a mystery to us. A ? man whose name is the synonym of every ' thing that is rotton and slimy with filth,, is this modern Judas, and yet we find Representatives of South Carolina disgracing their constituency by voting for him for Judge. Thauk God though he is upon the shelf yetf A Trip to Gr^emille JDear Neics: A few words of tho up-country will not be unacceptable to your readers. On Saturday last wo boarded the train at Columbia, und in a short time there after was being rapidly whirled towards our destination?the city at the foot of the mountains. This was our first trip to Greenville siuce the war, and as the train darted along, annihilating dis tance at about twenty miles an hour, we ! meditated slowly but deliberately over tho changes which havo' been wrought within the past fifteen years; changes whi ch plead eloquently for a more progressive, liberal and enlighten ed policy in onr government, aad foro shadowing the dawn of a belter day for the working men of this country. As tho iron horse sped its way along, we conld not help from observing the great changes and improvements which have been made in the road bed and running gear of this line since it has been under the management of that veteran of rail roads, Col. Dodamead. When he as sumed control of it, the Greenville railroad was a miserable apology for what it should have been long before that time. But Col. Dodamead being lull of pluck and energy, and having an intimate knowledge of railroad matters, has succeeded in raising it from a doubt ful and non-paying existence, and plac ing it upon a par with our most pros perous and paying railroads. He was liberal in loaning the Company money, with which to improve their rolling Btock, and to day n road that did not pay ?-before Col Dodamead took it iu charge ?make sufficient to meet its expenses, now pays handsome dividends to stock holders. It is now really a pleasure to tako a trip to Greenville, and especially is it so when it falls to one's good luck to bo under tho care and charge of Cnpt. Isaacs. This gentleman has grown gray in the service of tho Company and his fine manly appearance, enhanced by his courteous and carclul attentions to passengers, conspire to mako tbo *a7clling public wish that ho may con lKie conductor for twenty years mere. Jn fti? everything that is now connee ted with i10 Cjiecnvillo railroad is a sue cess. \Vhfe a r0Vf yCarfl flp0 0B6 wou|d n< t have tho?.,jl( 0f riding over tho tin crrtnin clung ?ii.?,u ?rH, ??wring him Y>'il \ hfgc I >t^, suraii'e policy, lie ??uW ?t-tio a .. a . 1 .. . ? si<cl|Vit) in Icniding the train for Cieeiivillo. Tho prosperous condition oF tho up country is umdo evident in many ways. For iusluuco townB and villages are springing up in rapid succession all along tho lino of the Greonvillo road, and what were known at tho close of tho war as siinplo -'turn-outs," in rail road parlance, are now growing and prosperous habitations of an industrious and thriving people "We did uot pass u place.that failed to present evidences ol thrift and prosperity. The n any new buildiugs we saw going up convin ccd us at ouco tha t there was lifb in the old Slate yet, especially iu the upper portion of her chivalric domaiu. Most of the dwellings and stores that wo caught sight of presented a regular city apcaraoco, and conspicuously so were those at Ninety-Sis. This is,apparently j a new town, but it is increasing in popu latiou and dimensions so rapidly that it would not be too extravagant to pre diet for it one day the nauic anil digni ty of a city. Tndccd there is a bill now pending before tho General Assembly to make it a county seat of a new coun ty to bo formed from portions of Abbo viilo, FJgcfield, Laurens and Newbet */, and to be called the County of Ninety Six. The popularity of the bill has caused a considerable flutter in all the couutics mentioned above, and notably so in that of Abbeville. We don't know much about the matter but have heard it whispered that it is more than probable that the bill will becomo a law. We should like to note each town as we. pass along, if time and space per mil ted, but 'as both of these are crying f out "enough !" we shall content our selves by eayiDg that the up country, iu tho matter of real solid prosperity, is fur ahead of ante odium times. The good people of these upper counties have found out that prosperity and Kukluxism tdo not chime U gelber worth a cent; that the open aud honest music of the former docs not accord very well with the roar of midnight guns, or the giim m cnaccs of masked assassins; that the geuius of our institu tious smiles bcucficently upon labor spent in the work of building up the country, but discountenances and con demns all exhibitions that would scok to abridgo or deprive any citizen of the right* guaranteed to him by tho law. Wcufcy^ygglttd to note (Sssr-saa^'i fy*?i:.-o that ' seems t&stibsist between all clas-'cs up there. Occupying such relations to each other, the whole people will bo benefited thereby. Already tho ?. ounty ef New berry has, within the last six years patt, tic ublcd its population a nd, us a matter of course busiuess has increased proportionately. On board the train we found our geninl friend and successful jur ist, Judge Thompson II. Cooke, on his way to his home iu Greenville. His many friends in Orangeburg will be glad to hear that he has made crowds of warm IVieuds iu tho up country, aud has won goldeu opiuions from veterans in the law. Judge Cooke has proven himself one of the best Judges iu the State. We also had the pleasure of making the acquiantanco of Col. Hill, who is ono of the editorialstalT.it that spicy paper the Greenville Daily News. We found him to be a genial and affablo gentleman us well as a ripo scholar. But we must bury on In const: quei ce of some mishap which befell our iron horfc, we did not get to Greenville until late. Once there, and out of the train, we wore driven to the Mansion House, now owned and kopt by Calnan. Aud who is it that docs not know this clever and accommodating princo of hotel keepers? His Glenn Springs nototriey has made him lam ous. Ho is now hard at work in put ting all the modern improvements in his house, and by spring will have a a hotel second to none in the So uth. On the roof of the Mansion House, in company with a few friends, we enjoyed as fine a view as it has ever been our lot to gaze upon. Tho heavy mass of pure white clouds, which envolopod, as a covering, tho outlines of tho Blue Hidgc Mountains, was sublimely beauti ful. Our second day in Greenville was a very pleasant one; part of which we spun t in trotting around tho city, noting hero nnd thero the many advantages tho poo plo of that placo aro blest with. If they would only uso . he ivhito wish brush more freely and cover tho dark patches of fencing hero and there to bo scon, thoy would indeed luve a eity of remarkable beauty. Wo predict this for Greenvillu- That in ten years from to day she will be tho second city in the State, in .wealth and population, and the very first in manufactures. Tlic G re uii\ iII?)
