It 1b a pleasure to drop in tlio Senate and -notch the ability with which this gentleman presides over that body. He fa well versed in parliamentary \ law, and is fair and just in all his rulings, lu ability and a general knowledge ot the rules which govern Icgislatiro bodies, ; he is the peer of any man that ever pre eided over a South Carolina Senate. ' Bis popularity is great with his party, and it not unlikely that ho will boa candidate for the office of State Trcas .wer next year. One so modest and . Unassuming would look real well iu the ? ? Treasury alter wo have had so much weight rod pomp in that office for four years. i Tho defeat of L. O Northrop for the Third Circuit, may bo attributed to tho rule or ruin clique that revels in corrup tion at Columbia. If Moses cannot elect . himself to office, or somo of his asso - eiates in crime, ho prefers to soc a Democrat carry tho day. How any decent man could havo voted for F. J. Moses, Jr., without doing violonco to . his conscience, is a mystery to us. A ? r.mn whose name is the synonym of every !> tiling that is rotton and slimy with fiHh,. is this modern Judas, and yet we find Representatives of South Carolina disgracing their constituency by voting for him for Judgo. Thank God though he is upon the shelf yetf A A Tri A Trip to Greenville fiear Ncxcs: A few words of tho up-country will not be unucccptablo to your readers. On Saturday last wo boarded tho train at Columbia, und in a short time there after was being rapidly whirled towards our destination?tho city at the foot of tho mountains. This was our first trip to Greenville since the war, and as the train dnrtcd along, annihilating dis tance at about twenty miles an hour, we ! meditated slowly but deliberately otcr tho changes which havo J been wrought within tho past fifteen years; changes whi eh plead eloquently for a more progressive, liberal and enlighten ed policy in our government, and foro shadowing tho dawn of a better day for the working men of this country. As the iron horse sped its way along, we could 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 ho 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 ltd and non-pnying existence, and plac ing it upon a par with our most pros perous and paying railroads. He was liberal in loaning tho Company money, with which to improve, tbeir roll inj stock, and to day a rond that did not pay ?before Col Dodamead took it in charge ?make suffioiont to moot its oxpeuscs, now pajB handsome dividends to stock holders. It is now really a pleasure to tnko a trip to Greenville, and especially is it so when it falls to onf.'fl good luck to bo under tho care and chargo of Cnpt. IsaaCB. This geutloman has grown gray in the service of tho Company and his fine manly appearance, enhanced by his courteous nud carclul attentions to passengers, conspire to muko tbo ??rolling public wish that ho may con *Kio conductor for twenty years mtre. In fa. everything that in new con hen ted witl^i,0 Grcenvillo railroad is a sue cess.

T e ? f fi n ? ity in Lcaiding the train for CicenviJlo. --?- j -u?i. -i-: Tho prosperous condition of tho up country is mndo evident in ninny wnys. For iuitaoco towuB and villages uro springing up in rapid succession all along tho line of the Greonvillo road, and what-were known at tho closo of the war as simple "turu-out-t.," in rail : road parlance, arc now growing and prosperous habitations of an industrious and thriving people* We did not pass a place.that failed to present evidences of thrill and prosperity. The u any new buildings we saw gwng up convin ccd us at onco tha t there was life in tho old Slate yet, especially in tho upper portion of her chivnlric domaiu. Most of tho dwellings and stores that we caught sight of presented a regular city Qpcnranco, and conspicuously so were those nt Ninety-Six. This is, apparently j a n cw town, but it is increasing in popu laticn and dimensions so rapidly that it would not be tuo extravagant to pre diet for it one day the uame and digm ty of a city. Indeed there is a bill now pending before tho General Assembly to make it a county scat of a new coun ty to be formed from portions of A bho ville, FjJgcfield, Lnurcus and Ncwbc-fy, and to be called the County of Ninety Six. The popularity of the bill has caused a considerable flutter in all the c( unties 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 become a law. We should like to note each town as we pass along, if time and space per milled, but *os both of these arc crying out "cnouijh !" we shall content our selves by saying that the up country, in tho matter of real solid prosperity, is far ahead of ante, bellum times. The good people of these upper counties have found out that prosperity and Kukluxism tdo not chime tc getber worth a cent; that the open aud honest music of the former docs not accord very well with tho roar or midnight guus, or the giiui in cnaccs of masked assassins; that the gcuius of our institu tions smiles beneficently upon lab.-r spent in the work of building up the country, but discountenances and con demns all exhibitions that would seok to abridge or deprive any citizen of tho rights guaranteed to him by tho law. ^JV^^'^glad to noteSfeiw^an'l r>-.':-0 that seems ttL?tibsist between all clashes up there. Occupying such relations to each other, the whole people will bo benefited thereby. Already tho ? ounty of Newberry has, within the last six years past, doubled its population a ud, as a matter ofcourfc business has increased proportionately. On board the train we found our gcuial friend aud successful jur ist, Judge Thompson II. Cooke, on his way to his home in Greenville. His many friends in Orangeburg will be glad to hear that ho has made crowds of warm friends iu the up country, aud has won goldcu opinions from veterans in the law. Judge Cooke has proven himself one of the best Judges iu the State. 1 We also had the plea* ure of making the acquiantance of Col. Hill, who is one of the editorial staff o I that spicy paper the Groonville Daily News. We found him (o bo a genial and affable gcutleiuan as well as a ripo scholar. But we must hury on In eonsc quei ce of ti me 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 tho Mansion House, now o wned and kopt by Calnan. Aud who is it that does not kuow this clover and accommodating prince of hotel keeper.*? His Glenn Springs nototriey has mado him lam ous. Ho is now hard at work in put ting all tho modern improvements in his house, aud by spring will have a a hotel second to none in tho So uth. On the roof of tho Mansion IIouso, in company with a few friends, we enjoyed as fiue a view as it has ever been our lot to gaze upon. Tho heavy mass of pure whito olor.ds, which enveloped, as a covering, tho outlines of the Ulue Ridge Mountains, was sublimely be?uti roh Our eecond day in Greenville was a very pleasant one; part of which wo spen t in trotting around tho city, noting here and tho re tho many advantages the poo pie of that place are bloit with. If thoy would only use tho white wish brush more freely and cover tho dark patches of lenoiug here and there to bo seen, they would indeed h ive a city of remarkable beauty. Wo predict this for Grecnvillo- That in ton years fro n to day she will be tho second city iu the Stalo, in wealth and population, and tho very first in manufactures. Tlii! G re up* ilie Daily News is a great institution in Greenville, and has'bo cuiue i n.? nt tho indispensables of that tbriv ng' city. It i.s edited by Maj.

'Jjhe News 'is drawing both people and capital to Greenville, ,and its citizens should give it every support iu their pjowor. Maj.
