At the session of the house on Wnt- urduy night, the Railroad bill, with ail the Senate amendments, whs final ly passed. Tho following synopsis of the bill gives a clear and intelligent view of the changes which have been made in the law and their cifccts on the railroads and on the public: All those sections of the late law giving the commission power to fix rates are nqicaled. Tho railroads are to submit their rates to the commis sion for approval or modification be fore putting them into effect. If the commission approve, they go into ef fect almost immediately. If the com mission disaprovo and modify after hearing argument from the roads, and the roads will not accept the commis sion’s modification, they have the right to appeal to the Circuit Judge of Richland County, or in hjs absence to some other Circuit Judge selected by the Chief Justice. The evidence ta ken before the commission is submit ted to him ami he must decide the case wit hin ton days, his decision to he tinal. During the pendency of the appeal, the rates in force at the time the change was proposed by the roads shall remain in force and lie enforced until the question at issue shall be ad judicated. The rates to he submitted hi the commission by the roads include through and joint rates. The on.m- missinn have the right, if they con sider tiie rates in force unreasonable or discriminative, to change- them to just and reasonable rates. If the roads refuse to consent h> such modi fications they can appeal to tiie Court in the manner provided above. The attorney-general .conducts all oases far the commissioners. The sections against discrimination remain in the law. Provision ia made CJvnMoIation. Of all the sessions of the Legisla ture which have been held since the restoration of honest government in ]876, we do not think one can lie re called where no little of practical util ity has been accomplished, or where puch an indisposition to deal with im portant matters has been so conspic uously manifested. More than the usual amount of oratory has been dc« Jivered, but when wc look around for results we And that, with tho excop. tion of the Kallroud bill and some prohibition legislation, not another measure of vit^l importance Jjas been passed. We find that in tiie matter of appropriations a great deal of cheap John rhetoric has been indulged iu, for home consumption, while au im mense amount of valuable time has been frittered away, Tiie tlma con sumed iu Hquaeaing from th«a« rank- Ing economist* tha amount barely necessary to support th« adueational institutions of the Btate and our small but invaluable militia organization, if correctly computed in accordance With the daily expenses of the Gen eral Assembly, would have given all that was asked for and left a balance in the treasury. The State House has been left to go to ruin, and various other important measures have beep suffered to go by the board—all to pander to u snivelling humbug cry of economy, wbeu the judiujous ex- jieuditure of a few thousands M'ould save tens of thousands in the future, and place the Btate of Bouth Carolina where she always should stand, in the forefront of the army of progress. The bill in relation to inseetiverous birds has passed, and the charter of 1 lovesville has been amended, and )a«t, but not least, the Btate Board of Health bus been authorized to pur chase Buzzards Island. Wo can at least enjoy our Christmas dinners with the proud satisfaction that these measures have passed, and that Buzzards Island—euphonious for speedy adjmri<:ali<m_uixui_aili4-s /or I ;isf ec hist thc.UAaQU$'-Vmj \34^rrilUBSKmor acting as agents for the parties suing. The penalties for discrimination or unjust charges are quite heavy. In regard to passenger rates, sundry provisions are made, the most impor tant of which are that tho railroads must establish second-class fares. Tiie Barnwell Hallway is to bo con sidered an independent road. We hope this is the end of the rail road agitation, for a while at least, ami that when our Legislature again convenes our legislators will he able to spare » little of their precious time for the consideration of other matters ftilly as important, which have been entirely Ignored at this session. We consider the new railroad bill a vast improvement on the one passed In *82, inasmuch as It shows a deuont regard for tho rights of property and curtails tho extraordinary powers of the Rail road Commission. While Hie roads are now subject to all proper supervi sion, they at least have some control over their property, which the ftcl of ’82 piactioally denied them. branches passed au Aet creating a com mission at an expense »«f some eight or ten thousand dollars a year, w ith power to tlx freight and passen ger rttD-s upon a b;usis of what was j ust and reasonable both to the peojdtv and the railroads. This was au enun ciation of the principle that the State, by reason of its reserved rights When it granted charters to the mod, could control its rates of (raftic. This prin ciple is foumled in justice and right. It has been sustained by the highest Courts of Georgia and Illinois, and the Supreme Court of the United States. Under that Act a judicious executive has appointed three judi cious commissioners. They went to work not as tyrantc, hut "with a view to tiie fact that the legislative intent was that they represented the roads as well as the people; they invited the co-operation of the roads as to the fixing of the rates, and after several months of study they is sued schedules of rates whieU went into operation only in October last. Before sufficient time is given to per fect this system, to test its value, to see its merits or demerits, this hill now under consideration proposes to strike the very foundation of tho sys tem ami gradually to destroy it. I cannot giv« my adherence to it. Let the Semite murk that the attack Is made by the advocates of this bill against the present law. It is for them to show that the bill proposes a better law, for the rail roads and the people than the present law And what is proposed? Take it In its fullest, broadest sense, and tho bill means simply this, that the railroads shall fix the schedules of freight rates, with the right to the Commissioners to modify the same, but the road can appeal to the courts. In other words, the Court is the final arbiter instead of tho Commieiton. The Judge, who has never studied railroad mat ters, Is to decide on questions of fact whether or rot a rate is reasonable or not, instead of the Commissioners, who have nothing else to do hut study such matters. Now, I have the great est respect for our judiciary; it is as good and as pure and as noble as that of any Btate, but there is not a man upon the bench in South Carolina who knows anything about railroad tariJls, and to do what is asked by the bill is to remit the people, and the railroads as well, to a tribunal less fitted to he the final arbiters iu tins matter than the Commission. . And what will be tiie condition of things upon an appeal to the Courts? Tho question before the Judge will he, is a certain rate upon a certain railroad flora certain distance reasonable ami just? A question of fact and nut of law. True, the Attorney General is to represent the Commission, but at what disadvantage for testimony as compared with the railroads with all their power? The Commission can- I not aid him. They are the tribunal w!lose judgment will he under review, and he will he remitted to such aid in the way of testimony as citizens may volunteer to give him. In nine eases out of ten tiie roads will prevail, Tiie Attorney Genera! is already enough occupied, and there is Judge in the Btate who is not over\»..jiwgfe Bo much lor tiie changes proposed. It is impracticable. It is dangerous iu its both to the railroads evli which demands so sudden u change? Why should this system, before it ia firmly established lie up rooted and destroyed? It is said that capital will be kept away; that it is timed; that no syndicate will put their money into railroads where the parties other than the railroad au thorities fix tho rates. Well, if capi tal will keep awni y present law, it will keep aw ay because because Ti of the of tho proposed law. If it will keep away because Commissioners who know about railroads fix tho rate# it will keen away much more quickly ji ' TrrE niTAj Introduced by Senator D. 8. Hendsreon ft>r the ostablish- mentof County Instltuism has pae»*d th« legislator*. Them Instttotos will be conducted by the County Board of Examiners, under Instructions from the Btate Superintendent of Educa tion and the State Board of Exami ners. They will supply needful aid towards the better qualification of our common school teachers for the duties expected of them. We are glad to note that the salary of our courteous, prompt and thor oughly efficient County Treasurer, Mr. Joseph E. Murray, has been in creased by the Legislature, from $SfM) to $1,000. This is little enough for the sat i factory performance of such re sponsible* duties. ■ - ■ ■ We publish in another column* a speech by Beuator Henderson against the Kajlmad hill. The views of this journal are well known to he favora ble to a discreet supervision of the railroads, but unfavorable to the ty- rauieal and unwise disregard of the vested rights of property as involved! in the Act of '82 constituting the Rail- , .road Commission.

I would rath- ea repeal the present law and save the Btate the expense of the Commission than to vote far this hill. Tho one system is better a* an Invitation to capital than the other. It has hot»n urged upon me especially tliat I should vote for tins bill bccausel have represented the railroads time and again in the Courts, and because the Carolina and Cumberland Gap I toad, which will bo of great benefit to my immediate County, cannot get foreign capital whilst the Commission exists. \s to the former, I say whilst I V^l ,r «* sent the railroads, I must here, also represent the agricultural and mer- ebantife interests of my constituents. As to the latter, I say that if English capital is timid at the present law they will t>* more timid at the propos ed law. No, capital can and will come here and thrive well as in Georgia ami Illinois under a Commission. That Is simply a cry to catch the un wary. The main object is to enter the wedge and finally to abolish the Commission. That should not be done. For the sake of the liberty of the ag ricultural and inerchautUe interests of the country, the reserved rights of the State should bo carefully delegated to a judicious Commission who will al ways guard tiie rights of citizens and railroans intelligently. I am told that unless this bill becomes a law, al though the present Commission is an incorruptible one, there may be a time when a purchasable Commission would have control of rates, and there fore, it is dangerous to confer such a power, The same argument might apply equally as well to the judiciary. I am, also, told tliat without some such measure as the present, tlfr' rail roads may bring iniiuences to bear that will control the elections in the State. I regard this as an admission that tiie railroads will stoop to corrup tion, but I do not think our people can he so easily corrupted, and I hone to be in my grave before my State oc cupies so degraded a position. If the Commission is not kept up in the Btate and armed with full j lowers to I control these corporations the United States will soon do it, and then the Federal arm of power will be felt to the advantage of all. I trust the bill will net become a law. was uiUeea a memorable occa sion. From altar t\> vestibule of the church was crowded with Aiken’s men and fair daughters who; stirred by the irrepressible moral movement which is agitating our Btate from mountain to seaboard, turned out to hear the distinguished lecturer and to testify by their presence their hearty appreciation of the work engdged iu by the Temperance Division, y At half-past seven tho Division of the Bona and Daughters of Temper- adice marched into the church in col umn of twos, wearing the regalia of their Order, a white collar with a red, white and blue rosette appended, headed by Robert Dowell, Worthy Patriarch of the Order, supported by John N. "Wigfall as Worthy Associate, who supplied the plade of that zeal ous member, J. It. Ciay, who was de tained at home by sickness. Ntyt to these came tho other officers ottho Division, who were followed neafct by the fair daughters of the Divisi<v*» tiie male members bringing up the rear of tho procession. Beats were provided for tiiis body immediately in fiymt of the pulpit. *V j, Shortly afterwards a considerable number of the members of the Ma sonic Lodge, who postponed their meeting in order to attend, made their appearance and were provided tyitU seats. At a quarter before 8 o’clock Mr. Cuthbert arrived, when the exercises were commenced by tho announce* merit of an appropriate hymn by the liev. B. T. Fuller, the pastor of the church and a valued and most etli- cient mem her of the Sons of Tem perance, This hymn was beautifully rendered by Miss Ravenel at tho or* gap, assisted by a chorus of well-tuned voices,, and tne whole congregation joining in. Rev, S, p. T, Fields, of the Methodist Ohurch, the chaplain of the Order, then oijered up an earn est and appropriate prayer, after which another hymn was sung. Mr. PoweJl then rose from his seat on tho right of the altar and in a few well timed remarks announced Mr. (Juthbert aa the lecturer of the even ing. For upwards of one hour and a quarter the eloquent lecturer obtained tiie undivided attention of a most in- U-liigont and numerous audience. He abstained, as far as possible, from un due harshness, but nevertheless dealt merciless blows against the irttlfic in liquors as well as the vice of intem perance, illustrating his subject and giving force to his points by anec dotes, sometimes amusing and some times painfully atFccting. Our space will not permit us to do more than to say that ihe reverend gentleman ban died his subject in a most euective manner, retaining the attention of bis large audience even to bis jast ut terance. In the rear cf the large congrega tion was a considerable number of colored persons, many of them being members of tiie colored temperance society of this town. At the conclusion of the lecture an other beautiful hymn was sung, after which tbv. audience was dismissed with the benediction delivered bv Rev, B. T, Fuller.
