Judge Simonton's Decision in the Coo- saw Mining Case Against the State. Charleston, April 21.—In the Un ited State Circuit court to-day, Judge Simonton rendered his decision in the • Coosaw Phosphate Mining company case, ordering tbe$removal of the case from the State co^rt and assuming ju risdiction. Theri were two questions submitted by the state, namely has the United States court jurisdiction of this case? and second, if it has ju risdiction, are there not considerations of courtesy and comity towards the State court which will induce it to withhold action. As to the first question, Judge Sim- onton holds that ‘‘as the suit really and substantiallyJnvolves a dispute or conti oversy whether the State of South Carolina has not passed an act impairing an obligation of the con tract alleged, which had been made between said stale and defendant, the case presented a question within the original jurisdiction of the court and is removable.” 4 As to the question of comity and courtesy, Judge Simonton held that such considerations have no place in his court. The question is one as to the right of a citizen, not as to the conduct of the court. The question will now come up on the right of the state to appoint'a receiver for the mining territory claimed by the Coo saw company and the nature of the rights granted by the state to the com pany. | The Coosaw Case. The members of the Phosphate Commission have been served notice from McCrady Sons & Bacot and Lee & Sraythe, representing the Coosaw Company, that on the first day of the next term of Court for Beaufort Coun ty, or as soon thereafter as possible, they would move to have the com plaint of the Stite of South Carolina ex relatione B. JR.. Tillman, Governor, et ul., made more definite, so as to show in what manner the said hoard exists. The object of t6is notice is evident ly to make the ^MlMM^nfess that 1890 if that he without p; pany’s o of the ground tl moved The Prosperity of the South, The Manufacturers* Record pub lishes an article from the pen of Rob ert P. Porter, Superintendent of the Census, on the material development and progress in the Southern States during the past decade, as shown by the facts and figures gathered by the Census Bureau. As epitomized, they show wonderful growth and progress In mineral and agricultural develop ment, and justify Mr. Porter’s pre- dictiou of even greater and unprece dented prosperity in the South. While the time, he says, has not yet arrived to give a complete Inven tory of the wonderful progress of the South during the last decade, official figures of the branches of inquiry al ready completed indicate that the final returns will show that in no part of the United States has industrial progress been more satisfactory. One thing is certain, namely, that the de velopment and increase in manufac tures during this period lias been of such magnitude and of such impor tance as to seriously attrapt the atten tion of the world. The South is today jrreducing as much coal, iron ore and pigiron as the entire United Ctates produced in 18t0, and the progress of the Southern States in the manufacture of steel, Mr. Porter thinks, will be as great during the next ten years as it has been in the production of coal and pigiron during the past decade. And the class of labor attracted to the rich mineral regions will be of a higher character than of the past; that is, there will be artisans and mechanics, who will command a much higher rate of wages, and hence increasing the consuming power of the South. The remarkable development is shown in a striking degree by the as tonishing growth of individual cities in this section during the past ten years. In support of this, he cites the wonderful and in some cases the phe nomenal growth of a number of cities and towns during the decade. These he points to as some of the striking illustrations of material progress, while a hundred similar examples could be given of small towns that had thus developed in the South, and the greater part of their growth has en due to the development of their urces. blished by the cen- jfcit a develop- tinutd In Highest of all in Leavening Power.—1 >rt r&j Powder ARSOilfTEDf PURE try is a step forward for the whole. Southern progress, it should he re membered, is national progress, and, as such, the North can and does re joice at it, and Northern men will note with gratification the wonderful results of a decade of industrial de velopment as revealed by the eleventh census. A vVorcl to the Farmers. The farmers is between the upper and nether mill stone. In the North west the corn was nearly in the hands of the speculators before the recent rise, so that the producer gets but little of the benefit arising from the present high price, and in the South as buying time is upon us the farmers must pay the high price. This too with the low price of cotton makes it very hard upon those who are com pelled to buy corn. It should be a les son, however; it should cause the far mer to curtail the planting of cotton and increase the area in corn; make all of his supplies at home and he in dependent. The Alliance is doing much to educate in this direction, and we look for much good to be ac complished by it—it is a monster ag ricultural society. It is the grandest educator that the farmer has ever had because it is more far reaching. The Grange did good; Tlie Alliance will do and is doing much more good.

The Washington correspondent of the News and Courier says: South Carolina Democrats residing in Washington do not credit the state ment sent out from Columbia last night to the effect that many of the leading white men of the State are prepaiing to desert the Democratic party and join forces with the Repub licans A prominent South Carolinian, who is familiar with the poiiiics of the Palmetto State, Isaid to-day that "he was aware that there is a widespread feeling of disgust at the ascendency of the Tillman faction, but he does not believe the people of that State can be induced to cut away from all their past associations and traditions to join a party led by Ex-Congressman Smalls, Miller and other equally of fensive Republicans. The defeat of Gen. Wade Hampton was a bitter dose of political medicine for the better ele ment in the State to take, and the lat ter’s friends can never forgive Till man and his followers for depriving that grand old warrior of his seat in the United States Senate. Governor Tillman’s administration has not been such as will pacify those who were opposed to his election, and there is a growing impression throughout the State that he will wear himself out with one term in the Governor’s chair. Another equally prominent South Carolinian agrees with what is stated above and insists “that the Democrat ic party in South Carolina is the white man’s party, and nothing that the present State Administration can do will drive the white men into poli tical affiliation with the blacks. There was considerable indignation felt in every section of the State when Tillman faction captured the poli- machinery of tfrp State and
