Between the Anderson Intdligencer and the Oharieston News there is an honest difference of opinion. The Intelligencer, with characteristic frankness, condemns this paper tor "having endeavored to make the question of State aid" to the Blue Ridge Railroad "savor too much of poli? tics," and candidly avows its belief that the policy of the News in regard to that important railroad is "totally at variance with the true interests of the State." These views are contained in a leading article which wo reprint this morning. The Intelligencer is in error in assuming that the News has endeavored to give a political caste to tho question of State aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad. This has ?been the-aim of no less a person than Governor Scott, who has thoroughly re? constructed the board, of directors, not in the interests of the company^but in- the interests of tho Radical party. A publi? cation of the names of tho present direc? tors, side by side with the names of the directors two years ago, would show very cloarly what the Radicals have done to iKard giving tho concern a political savor. The News, on the other hand, has never treated the Blue Ridge Railroad.ds-any thing but a matter-of money? a-question of price and value, cost and profit. When Governor Scott sent to tho Legislature a special message in regard to the Blue Ridge .Railroad, this paper did not oppose the passage of a bill authorizing the en? dorsement by tho State of $4,000,000 of Bine Ridge Railroad bonds. The heart of" tho up-conotry was sot upon this work; for a quarter of a century it had been the dream and hope of the seaboard. And when it was. stated that 84,000,000 would complete the road, and that the work could- be done in one.year, we were willing, that the State- should risk the raillions whose expenditure should pour into the bosom of South Carolina the trade and riches of tho West. Wc had no thought then, nor have wo now, of raising a clamor against tho road, and when the Cincinnati Convention met, no journal was more earnest than the News in endeavoring to secure the construction of the Southern road fr.om..Cincinnati to ELnoxviHe, the terminus of the Biuo Ridge line. A more thorough investigation, of the scheme caused this paper- to be- far from sanguine in its cstiraato of the ben? efit to be received by this State- from her transmontano railroad, but nothing was iw<t' to chill tho ardor of men.of stronger laiih. This was-the position of affairs when the contract for completing the Bluo Eidgo Railroad was awarded to Crissvoll & Co. That bargain has not been justi? fied and cannot be; but what, we have to deal) with now is-tho fact that tho award? ing^ of tho contract made it evident that the road, without depots, rolling stock, and.other equipment, would sost $9,000, ?0e>. besides the ?3,000,000 already spent. Until the road was completed it could earn nothing, for the country through which it passes, after leaving Walhalla, fs a mountainous waste. Tho road could not be finished in less than two years, an 1 the Stato would have had to provide j for the payment of interest on 89,000,000 ?f bonds, amounting, at six per cent., to I $540,000 dollars- a year^-one-half tho whole amount paicTin State taxes in 1869. This financial view of the suhjeet was enough to compel the News to withhold its further support of the road until the State was in a more prosperous condition. But when, in addition, there was the cer? tainty, that the road and laying out of nine million dbllhrs would be controlled by Governor Scott and. Mayor Pillsbury, it beearac tlvo duty of this paper to expose tho huge job on all occasions, and to at? tack it in and' oat of season. This was the least that wo owed to the people whom we represent. At the timo that the contract with Crissvell & Co. ^was made, tho Intelligen? cer argued, as it argues now, that it must havo been a marvellous proper contract, or it would not havo been accepted by President Harrison :.nd tho Executive Committee. There is no fbrco in this ar fument. Governor Scott and .Mayor lllsbury represent officially about seven eighths of tho stock of tho road. They con make and unmake directors as they please. Mr. Harrison is president, it .is true, but he has no more real power than is possessed by one of his awn cross-ties. All his tact and energy go for nothing when pitted against the votes of Pillsbu xv a*id Scott.. We assume, therefore, that 5tr. Harrison, with other directors, consented to accept the- Crisswcll & Co. contract in the Haute way that ho con? sented to the election of a colored direc? tor at the meeting lately held in Charles? ton*- He could not prevent tho accep? tance of the cooiKu&t, or tho election of the colored itn-an, and. it did not suit him to vwif'it, U wa? easier to how than to break We are compelled to nut tho e?*e in ti?l* way, h?c*u?e if President Harri?on avow* that he sustains the di? rectors in'all that tln-y have done, and approves of their action in every impor? tant particular, it may become t'/n- pleas? ure of the people to call upon lam and ant upon Mayor or Governor?lor an ac? count of tho momentous \nlwnln ittnth roitted to his oaro. How long .Mr. Har? rison, and other gentlemen similarly niiu ated, will remain, in a powtion where they ?hare tho responsibility and have no yharo of power, lUay alone can decide., i It Mr. ilamwoii has not changed his mind I ? - - -- - 55 ? ?- ?' - "since he was last in Charleston, ho may be expected to sever his connection with tho company in a very-short time. We turn now to the part played by Governor Scott in the matter of the con? tract. The Intelligencer says that "if Governor Scott made arrangements to obtain a nice little job with these con? tractors, it is somewhat singular that he should be among the first to relinquish and advise a discontinuance of tho con? tract." This is vory poor preaching. Governor Scott became a partner in the Blue Ridge Railroad Company in order to make money. The News succeeded in keeping down the price of State bonds, and in making it doubtful whether the Legislature would cancel the 64,000,000 guarantee and givo a guarantee for $9, 000,000 in its-stead. This and tho tardi? ness of tho contractors made Scott be liove that more money could be roado by ballooning State securities than by fight? ing the battles of Crissvell & Co. Out of tho Senate resolutions not to grant State aid to railroads, the gold interest ?bill, tho bill to fund tho new bills of the Bank of the State, and tho bill requiring certain companies to deposit State bonds with the Comptroller-General, Governor Scott hopes to make moro than he expect? ed to realize out of the Blue Ridge Ring. And this brings us to tho assertion made by tho Intelligencer that "it may bo true that the State officials were interested with tho contractors, but we respecttully sab* mit. that the sequence to this contract does not furnish evidence to that effect?' We say that it does furnish amplo evidence, and that if tho beginning of the contract was only as bad as its end is, tho News was fully justified in treating tho whole transaction as a swindle and cheat. The- last meeting of the Blue Eidge Railroad Company, held in Charleston, was not open to tho public?Scott and Pillsbury, by proxy, represented the peo? ple and the $3,000.000 spent upon tho road. The first news of the result of the meeting came from Columbia. Two of the Charleston directors had resigned, and ono had been dropped, and the Criss? vell & Co. contract had been carefully discussed. Subsequently a meeting of I the'directors was held in Columbia. They sat with closed doors, and every member was pledged to secrecy. Tho Intelligencer, ? however, admits that "tlicy agreed to pay seventy-five thousand dollars" to Crissvell & Co., who had done "about fif? teen or twenty thousand dollars worth of work on the road.'' This is part ot the truth, but not the whole truth. Is the Intelligencer aware* that the valuo of all tho work done by Crissvell & Co. on tfTe Blue Ridgo Railroad is set down in the public prints at fifteen hundred dollars ? Has the Intelligencer heard that tho At torney-Goneral, consulted by the Board, gave his opinion that Crissvell & Co. le? gally forfeited their contract and could claim no damages? Docs the Intelligcn-l cer know that, besides paying 375,000 for work which cost only 81500, the Board agreed to settle with the sub-contractors? The truth of this statemen t is not denied, and wo say that this last job, this settle? ment with the sontractors, is to the full as bad as the first. This paying S75,000 where not a cent was legally due, is the [ natural "sequence" of the Crissvell & Co. contract, and docs, if there is anything in the reasoning of our contemporary, "furnish evidence" that the original con? tract was corruptly and improperly made. And wo desire the Intelligencer to un? derstand that thcro arc other '-nice littlo jobs" connected with the Blue Ridgo Railroad besides those which this paper has already published. Does our con? temporary know how many of the $4, 000,000 bonds authorized to bo guaran? teed have been delivered to tho Blue Ridge Railroad Company, and how much it cost to get thorn ?. Ugly rumors upon this subject aro flying thick and last. And, perhaps, tho Intelligencer can inform us authoritatively whether one of the signatures necessary to make the bonds negotiable was very hard to obtain, and 1 what was the amount (thousands or tens of thousands?) of the official fee? We know enough already of these schemes of plunder, but tho*Intelligencer is not easily convinced. It says that it will ''heartily join tho News in exposing rascality of every sort," and that it can "never allow its prejudices to outweigh- judgment for the purpose of croating a sensation." Wo now ask the Intelligencer to join the Newsr'xvi unearthing the jobberies of the Blue Ridge Ring, and beg that it will not allow its prejudices in favor of a great public work to outwefgh what is due to itself and to tho State.?Charleston News. Large Pay and Little Work..?At the last session ot the Legislature, three Commissioners were appointed to codify the kiws of this State. These Commis? sioners arc Corbinr Montgomery and Whipper, the first two, white, the latter, a negro: Thoy have finished their Code and prosontcd it for tho consideration of the present Legislature. A correspon? dent of the Chronicle and Sentinel give3 the subjoined account of how the work bas been done : The code is said, by our best lawyers, who have compared it with the code of Now York, to be a copy ot tho latter, al? most complete. The divisions numbers, and arrangement throughout aro the same: and as to language it is word for word the same almost through, the only de? parture being where some local legisla? tion required tho variation of a phrase hero- and there. Now for this work the Act allows them 63,500 each per annum , orS10.5UUa year; besides "for reasonable expenses of cleri? cal services, books, printing, sttitioncj'y, and other necessary and incidental mat tors, not exceeding $5,000 annually."? That is the code is to cost tho Stato $?15,500. To run over tho New York code with a pencil, making the changes, and then to copy the whole off, could bedono for rather loss than $15,500, one would /mpposo. Eloquent Tri mm: to Southern CIiar actkr.?Horace Greeley'a fanaticism is often rodtioiuod by his bluff candor.? Whilst wo deprecate his idiosyncrasies about tariff* and the negro, wo cannot but respect a man who is honest in his errors; 1 fence wo appreciate all tho moro such tributes as flu) following, which Horace pays to the South through the columns of ttho Tribune: "The South has two nobld ohitractoris tics, which, left to their nuturul working in society, arc enough in themselves to lift communities from any depth of disas? ter and sat them on the highway of re? nown. She has a bravo way of lookir,o facts full in tho face, admitting the truth, comprehending the extent of a disaster as a preliminary to fresh enterprise3.? This sho honestly camo by through the blood of the men who two hundred years ago felled the original oaks and pines on the banks of tho Potomac, tho James, the Roanoko and the Savannah. Second, the crowning occupation to which every good Southerner aspires, the noblest, purest, most honost and permanent vocation for man, is, in his opinion, that of a tiller of tho soil. Give these as premises in any society, and no disasters can prove irre? trievable." ? An El Paso (Texas) exchange con? tains an account of the death of a forlorn old lady, who had occupied a room in one of the public buildings of lhat town for some years, and about whose name and history nothing was known. Sho had seemed to shrink from notice, and lived a cheerless and lonely life. She was found last week delirious with fovcr, from which she soon died. She was buried at tho expense of the town authorities. Af? ter the funeral her effects were examined, and sewed up in an old petticoat, several thousand dollars in United States bonds were found secreted i'n an old trunk. She had not left a scrap of writing by which her identity can be proved, except some letters from some person in Cincinnati, relative to property sho owned and was rented there. Through this party there is 6ome hope of discovering who and what this old female miser had been". The Census.?The draft of a law for taking the census of 1870 has recently been submitted to tho Committee on tho Census by the sub-committco apppointed to prepare the bill. The principal char? acteristics of the law arc tho establish? ment of a Consin Bureau under thojuris diction of the Interior Department; tho appointment by the President of a Com? missioner of the Census, whoso term of office shall expire three years from the date of his commission; the appointment by the Secretary of tho Interior of one Deputy Commissioner of the Census for each Congressional District. Tho time proposed for taking tho census is the month of June, 1870. Santa Clans. 'Twos the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse ; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there, The children were nestled all snug in their beds. While visions of sugar-plums danced thro' their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief and I in ray cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap; When out cn the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to sc,e what was the matter; Away to the window I flew like a flashr Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below; When, what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively nnd quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than cngles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, nnd called them by name; "Now, Basher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer! now, Yixon! On ! Comit, on! Cupid, on, Dondcr and Blixen? To the top of the porch ! to the top of the wall! Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!" As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky, So. up to the housetop the coursers they flew With tho sleigh full of toys?and St. Nicholas too; And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof, Tho prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, nnd was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a hound: He was dressed nil in fur from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and scot ; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And looked like a pedlar just opening his pack. His eves?how they twinkled! his dimples how mer ry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry; His droll litttlc mouth was drawn up like a bow ; And his beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face, and a little round belly That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump; a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to work, And filled all the stockings; and turned with a jerk, And Ihyrng his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up-the chimney he rose, He sprang to Iiis sleigh, to his team gave ft vhistle, And nway tihcy all flew like the down of a thistle; But 1 heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
