E. B. MURRAY, Editor. TH?BSDAY, FEB. 23, 1882. TERMS : ONE YEAH..~.-..91.60. SIX MONTHS. ?Sc Two Dollars If not paid in advance. OITB KAILBOAD PROSPECTS. An Augusta dispatch to the Xeici and Courier on last Friday,* says that on Thursday President Fisher sent a long telegram to the principal stockholders of the South Carolina Railway in New York, in reference to the proposed pur chase of the Augusta and Knoxville by the South Carolina Railway. Mr. Fi.iLer remained in the city awaiting a reply to that telegram, and to-day a conference was held at which President Fisher, Su perintendent Peck, Mr. Talmadge, (one of the New York directora of the South Carolina Railway,) Mayor May, the city attorney and the chairman of the finance committee were present. Nothing defi nite was decided upon: but it was under stood that the South Carolina Railway authorities are anxious to obtain control of the Augusta and Knoxville, and think that it will be a paying investment. Mr. Fisher says that the Clyde syndicate has made no proposition to him for the pur chase of the South Carolina Railway, or for a combination of the two lines. Nothing further about this conference has been made public, and therefore we conclude that the parties have, in nil probability, arrived at an understanding with reference to the transfer of the line, and that at tb } proper time the details will bc made public. Had the conference been a failure, that fact would almost certainly have transpired. If the Sooth Carolina Road gets the Augusta and Knoxville it will also complete tho Savannah Valley, and thus Anderdon would secure the benefits of a direct connection with Charleston and Augunta also. This would, perhaps, be tho very best arrangement possible for the inter ests of Anderson. THE NEW ELECTION LA WM. A Washington dispatch says that "cool-headed Republicans from S "?th Carolina say that, in the face of the amendments to the election laws recent ly onucted by their State Legislature in thc interest of the Democratic party, tho best policy the Republican party of that State can adopt in one of masterly inac tivity, until the Democrats fall out among themselves over un issue which will permanently split their party. The amendments referred to practically put thc Democrats in absolute control of the registration books and the ballot boxes in the country districts, in the cities Federal supervisors can and will be ap pointed, because the Attorney General has money with which" to pay them. He has none for supervisors serving in the country. Ex . Representative Robert Smalls thinb:? that, if 'he Republicans should absolutely bold aloof from poli tics for four years, the Demucrats would, at tho end of that time, be cutting ono another's throats, rendering coalition desirable to either faction, and power possible to tho Republicans." This sbo>?s that the Republican lead ers in tho North realize the fact that the new election laws will render a Republi can victory next to impossible in South Carolina. Tho laws as they now stand aro fair and just, and under such laws the Republican party in South Carolina cannot thrive. Their only chanco is to divide the Democracy, and thus succeed by stepping in between tho two factions of the whito people. They avow tho fact that if they do not run a ticket it will be for the purpose of splitting our pcoplo in order that they may hereafter win. Ia ?ift fuco of this warning wo hear talk of Independents in South Carolina. They are simply allies of tho Republi cans, and are moving exactly in tho di rection that their friends wish them to do. They ure, in our opinion, more danger ous than the Republicans, for they pre tend to bo Democrats while there is no Democracy in them. We would have moro respect for aud confidence in their purposes if they were to avow them selves Republicans at once. Wo would then know wbero to find them. As it is, they are nothing, and not much of that ; but if they could procuro any respectable following they could very easily turn tho State government over to the old party of plunder and vice. THE ELECTION CASES. A Charleston correspondent of tho New York Time? telegraphed that paper a few days ago the following information regarding the course probably to bo pur sued with reference to the numerous political prosecutions which have been pending for years in tho Federal Courts of this State : It has been learned from a Govern ment officer that tho Attorney General has yielded to the views of District At torney Melton and authorised him to take such steps in the prosecution of the olection cases now pending in the United States Court as ho may deem proper. The District Attorney's mode of proce dure will be to summon the principals And witnesses in half a dozen cases spe cially selected, and to allow all the other defendants and witnesses to remain at home until summoned to appear by the Court. This, it is claimed, will curtail the expenses of the Government, and will prevent the excitement produced by the simultaneous arrival in this city of 400 or 600 defendants, and at least four times that many witnesses. Mr. Verdior, an able lawyer of Beaufort, has been appointed Assistant District Attorney, and be and Assistant District Attorney Marshall were ia close consultation with District Attorney Melton for several days at Columbia to agree uoon a line of ac tion for the prosecution in the coming trials. The Court at which these cases aro heard will meet on tho first Monday in April. District Attorney Melton has been in terviewed by' a correspondent of the New?cui.d Courier, and Bays that he had no knowledge of tho source of the fore going telegram, and that il was not based upon any information procured from Mci. He said that his assistants would thoroughly investigate the pending cases, and probably select a few of the most glaring Violations of the law for trial, and that none of tho parties charged need appear for trial at the ensuing April term of tho United States Circuit Court lu Charleston unless notified in ample time to prepare for their trial. If anything is to be dont with refer ence to these cases this is, of courte, the fairest and best mode of procedure ; but it is somewhat ?trange that these trials are always brought into prominence du ring election years. The manifest pur pose of the Republican party is to ui>e the Federal Courts as a means of intimi dation, to as?irt them in once more secu ring control of South Carolina. The trial of these cases, even one or two test case? this year, evinces the purpose of the Republican party to wage a vigorous canvass in South Carolina. Our people had as well open their eyes to the fact that this year the forces of Democracy will have to do battle with the Republi can party, assisted by the whole rederal patronage and the powers of the United States Courts, and in addition to these elements of power they will have the assistance of the so-called Independent Greenback party. Fortunately, bowev< r, the new Election Law will rob the United States Courts of much of their intimidating capacity. 'Ii.*- law abso lutely protects the managers in State elections from the power of the Federal Court?, unless they m?kc distinctions of I race or color, which, of course, they will I not do ; and the manarra of Federal elections will, in a larpe measure, also be protected from the false accusations of peri ur" 1 witnesses, a* the registration bring? the whole voting population into a compact form, and only those register ed at a precinct can vote there. This will take much of the terror out of the Republican eifert to bulldoze by the interference of thc United States Courts. Their purpose, however, remains the tame, and our people may rest assured that thc old party of plunder and of I fraud stand ready to grasp the govern ment of this State again, by any means that may lie within their power. THE BE?I'LT Ol' EDUCATION. The New York Herald speaks thus of the effects of higher education in Russia: The cloning of the Kbarkof Universi ty, due to thc disorders of its students, illustr?tes the close relations that exist between the educational system of Rus sia and the government. Emperor Nicholas regarded the universities merely as training grounds for the civil service; he allowed just HO many students to be educu'ed as there were posts to be filled, and for all other purposes he held that knowledge was not only dangerous, but effeminate. Alexander lt., coming to the throne with huge schemes of reform in his head, threw the colleges open to all, and founded scholarships for poor students. His liberality bore good fruit; a new class of magistrates and judges came into existence ; culture mado its wny even into the army. Rut tares sprang up with the wheat. With knowl edge came discontent. The universities grew to bc hot-beds of revolution, and Admiral Putiatin, whose views of educa tion were obtained on shipboard, was net to the work of reducing them to order. Ile raised the fee?, suppressed the fund for poor studentsaud introduced rigorous discipline. Police nttacked rebellious students in St. Petersburg; peasants were incited against them in Moscow. They were proclaimed as enemies of thc Czar, foes of public order. From this -tate of siege they only began to emergo when tho present Emperor carno to the thr me, and their existence is still precarious. It has always been the course of tyrants to keep their subjects in igno rance, and the cause of liberty flourishes best where education is the most general and complete. Thc government which educates its subjects is the government which is tho best, and which has the best and most patriotic citizens. Thc educated country is also tho most pros perous country. These facts cannot be gainsnyed, and yet there are peoplo who do dot desiro to see the State foster her educational institutions. No State can keep npace with thc other States of the American Union which does not keep up in the race alter knowledge. Education is the poor man's weapon with which he can contend for that position and .su premacy to which every man should aspire. Without it, man's position must be controlled by brute force, or by one's financial status. The cause of education, therefore, should be sacred to every citizen. The National Republican, the party organ at Washington, has for some time past warned the Republicans that they can only save the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Presidency by a Coalition With th? S?UtuOiTi indepen dent.-!. They expect Mahmie and bia friends in Virginia, Felton and his adhe rents in Georgia, and Hendrix, Blair A Co. in South Carolina to split up things in these Slates, and that they will be ablo to carry the Federal elections in them. These so-called independents know this, and yet they go ahead trying to sp!:*, up tho good people of these States in order to let the Republicans win. This is precisely what indepen den ti:-m means. Thc National Republican sees it, and encourages the political wreckers to go ahead. Tho National administration sees it, and is continually helping the independents by all means in its power. Tho independents see it, and believing that they can take care of their personal fortunes, even if they do sink tho State, they arc going on with all of their poor might. Unfortunately for them, however, the people of these States realize this fact, also, and except in Virginia their power will not be great. Only such persons as desire to have the Republican party retain control of thc National Government, and return to power in our State, will givo auy assis tance to the independents. GREENVILLE MADE W?NE.-Mr. F. Hahn, of this city, is now preparing to Eut up one thousand bottles of wino of io own make, three years old. Thia wine is of a very superior quality, and has had * ready sale from the casks, dealers here and in Spartanburg and other places Anding it very acceptable to their custDmers. Tho bottling is expect ed to improve the flavor and color, and will doubtless add much to the populari ty of llr. Hahn's brands. Wine making promises to be a considerable industry in this city in the near future, and will probably be the means of bringing much money hero that would otherwise gc elsewhere. Four parlies are now suer cessful?y engaged in thc work, and ? little judicious pushing is all that is re quired to maka the vineyards anothei powerful addition to Greenville's wealtt and business.-Greenville News. - About a thousand million dollars o our national debt have been paid sinci the war ended.

The Washington correspondent of the J ! wt awl Courier, writing under ?Jaie of February 10th, says of Col. Tillman's great speech upon the apportionment bill : , . , ? am not addicted, in this corr?:-pon- ' dence, to entbu8?a*m, nor to an undue j exaltation of what the South Carolina j 1 delegation in Congress do or *ay, and < hence I ?hali expect to be soberly credi- , ted ?hen I report that Representative Tillman made the hit of the season in bis spi?ch on the ftpporlionmcnt biil tim 1 evening. I Lad previously remarked to i him that the country ? as not interested in ( the increase of the nj porlionroent to COO members, and that he had chosen an in opportune time for the delivery of his ' speech, cs the House WM tired of the t discussion and ready for a vote. To my \ remarks he replied: "Well, you'll see. j tell you, I'll make them listen to me!" * This evening at 3 30 there wa* a bitch in - the speaking. There was only one mem ber yet to address the House, and, con trary to expectations, he had deferred h if j speech tmu! to-morrow, so that Col. Till? j man, w ho had desired a ?id intended to t speak next day, was caught unprepared. . I Jut Randall,' who had occupied Col. , Tillman's hour, now yielded his own lo i our Representative, and the latter had to \ begin with hi* speech a mile away. , When it was announced that a ?peechan | hour nmg was in prospect, tobedelivercd : by HU uncorispicuous member, the repor- y u r- tied th* ir gallery and many members t retired to the cloak rooms. j El'UEFIELO IN CONCiP.E?rf. j Nothing daunted, Representative Til!- t man ?ave a little preface and struck right | into the heart of his argument. At this < time there were only a few members pay- ] mg attention. The rest were absent j <.r were reading ami writing at their j de-?:? Pretty soon a remark about thc ( corruption <>i the ?mall New York and j Pennsylvania Legislatures reached their , rar?, and they gradually dropped their | work and listened. Then our Represen- ] ta'.ive began to warm to his subject, and ? with considerable disregard of the regu- ( lar progress of his argument, dealt out ? his blows in rapid succession, hitting ( from all quarter^. Well, in twenty min- , utes every member who was near the , hall -about two hundred - had come in | and edged cio*e to the orator. Looking , from tlie reporter?' gallery there were | seen the backs of the two hundred turned ( to the Speakers' deik. They all faced ( toward the ridgefield man, and while the | corners of the hall were deserted, every | seat and every ai-le in his neighborhood | was filled. Col. Tillman pitched into the , theories of .Sunset Cox, Springer, Well- , born, Mel..me and other advocates of a , small House, and in short colloquies won , on every retort by dint of his felicity of , repartee. A mo SUCCESS. I have nothing to say na to the policy advocated in the speech, bul this much is certain : it was original, forcible and lively, and it drew the attention of a fag ged abd wearied House in a way that neither Cox nor Horr has done this ses sion. At every one of the hits there was a shout of applause and laughter, and he hit a good many people and thing-? with a great deal of impartiality anti vigor. On two occasions he tried to stop, but there rose such n cry of "Go on !*' that he liad to go on. The calling of the previ ous question was postponed on tho bill und unanimous consent given tu Iiis pro ceeding with the speech. For over an hour lie held the aisles blocked with au ditors. Republicans and Democrats were all massed around, and the former applauded as vigorously as their oppo nents. The few reporters left in thc gal lery were much entertained. A New York Herald tuan remarked to me, "Why don't you send him to the Sen ate?" Another waB astonished at the force of the Colonel's delivery and want ed to know why he had been so long silent while possessing such powers. At last the speaker wouldn't say any more and sat down to such a burst of applause as the House had not heard this session. A CnOWD OF CONGRATULATIONS. For ten minutes there was a mass of members of both parties around Col. Tillman congratulating him upon his success. It is customary when a member makes a big speech for thc others to sub scribe fora certain number of copies for distribution in their own uistricts, paying the cost to the Government printing of fice. I am told that such subscriptions were exceedingly large to night, mem bers from tho North making a great pro portion of them. As Col. Tillman bpoke ofT-hand in the House the manuscript nf his speech, w hich is very long, will sacri fice, when printed, a good deal of liveli ness toa good deal of strong argument. lt doe* not read as it was heard, which is a pity. The proposition for such a large in crease of representation doubtless struck many people a? funny at first, but lhere is plenty of ground for its support. Mr. Stephens tews me that ho favors 600 Representatives. So do a good many others. Of course nothing was expected at this session by Mr. Tillman except to draw public attention to the subject and create opinion, and in this he will doubt less succeed. He hss at any rate made a big sensation, enlivened the ordinary dull house and established a reputation as a humorist. Horr can now nido his diminished head in shame. Col. Till man got twice os much applause and laughter ns he did. I couldn't help wishing that the House galleries could have beon filled with Rcd-shirted Edge field boys to see their representative holding captive the great body as easily and thoroughly ns Hunhorn rules his love-sick maidens. N. G. G. Death of Bishop Wightman. Tho Methodist Church nnd the relig ious world at largo have lost an able champion and noble example in thc death of Rishop Wightman, who tranquilly breathed his lost in his native city of Charleston on Wednesday morning. In that city he was born seventy-four years ago, and at the ago of twenty, while still a student in the College of Charleston, he received his licenso to cuter upon the glorious work of saving souls and leading sinners to repentance. After distinguished services of many years in Randolph-Macon College as pro fessor, as presiding elder of Cokesbury district, and as editor of the Southern Christum Adv?cale, he was called upon to organize Wofford Collego in 1854. Such was his success that he again undertook tho ta^k of establishing the Southern Univettity at Greensboro, Alabama, and brought that institution to a most flour ishing condition. In 1806 he was select ed as a Bishop of tho Church, and io that capacity for fifteen years was a tower of strength, honored, revered and beloved by all. As a scholar, as a speaker and as a writer Bishop Wightman was alike con spicuous. The literature of the church has been greatly cmbelishcd by his tongue and his pen. Ripe in years and rich in grace, and dignity, ho has been gathered to the fathers, but bis naroo wilt ever be held in grateful remembrance, aud the light of is noble example will continuo to cheer and comfort future generations io their toilsome journey through life.-Ncvcsand Herald. - The United States produces about four-fifths of tho raw cotton of the world, but manufactures less than one sixth of it. - Thc Greenville AVirt says that a company has been formed and sufficient capital subscribed for starting a new cottoa factory in that city.

Farther han this she a-k* to be let alone with ur sorrow and to Le ?pared being drag red ?uto useless and torturing publicity. ^Ir-. Garfield will not answer the ?otter. The Le?er llelerred to. Lt < itETiA GA UKIKI.I?, CLEVELAND, )MO-D?ir Madam: Humbly I nd.ire.vt rou, trusting you will not turn a deaf ear .ven upon despised Guiteau's sister. All bise weary inoolhs I have patiently y ai ted until the time should come for n.e 0 speak, when after the verdict, which I relieved would be "not guilty-' by reason >f insanity, I could say without shame Acedtress that my heart bleeds for you ind the sainted dead. My poor brother vas not hi* own master when he fired hat shot. Forgive and look with com >assion cn him and me. I have counted he hours for the time when I should .?oldly say to you, as I have said from .he moment when the terrible news was Drought me, on that dark day in duly, be vas brain sick, deluded, crazy. Forgive lim, even as Christ shall forgive us all. Both our martyred President and his ramily having shown such an example of Christian fortitude and trust in the Mo?t High, as the world may weil revere, led ne to hope thal the sense of wrong ?nif fered would when the truth was shown, je tempered with that merciful forgive ness which is indeed Christlike. All those dreadful weeks of. the President's ^uttering I prayed that the Father above js all would spare his life. Day and aigbt my beseeching cry went up, "God .ave the President.'' I thought be could lot die. When the people of the whole world called mightily unto Him to inter pose in his behalf, I said, surely He will diow forth his glory ; but alas, the ten derest care of wife, family and friends, the prayers of the people, could not move thc Killer of the universe to countermand the decrees of His all-wise and mysteri ous providence, could not keep his poor, despoiled body, his grandly beautiful ?oui. Despite the vigils, the tears and the prayers of his family, of the nation, uf the world, the rniduight bells were tolled, the midnight cry was heard, "The President is dead !" We gazed upon the lifeless clay. "(Jone ! Gone ! ! to dwell with the glorified saints of the I^ord," ami we shed our tears without stint, and we said, "Is there no God*.'"' Truly it was a grievous wrong. The Lord, and He alone, can judge where lies moral responsibility. This people are in His hand. They walk on holy ground ; it befits them that they see to it, putting offtheir feet the unclean shoes of thc worldly walking, being ?bod with the sandals of righteousness, that they tread carefully, tenderly to the end, that justice and truth and mercy shall pre vail. In July, when it was reported that the suffering President was likely to recover, I wrote a U tter to you staling the facts in my brother's life and everything of this case, thinking that both yourself and the President would be glad to know that a poor, crazy man had done the deed, in stead of the hardened wretch he was pain ted. At the lime it was reported that thc President was interested in anything regarding the terrible affair, that he even said tenderly, "I wonder what that poor fellow would think if he knew that I had forgiven him." Oh, that I might know from bia own wife if that were true ! Tho sainted Garfield knows from that he "had to do it," and I feel sure if he could speak he would say, "forgive that deluded man, even as I forgive him. Safely keep him from doing any more harm; but for give him." I never sent the letter. The report carno almost immediately that the Presi dent was wc se and I knew you would not wish to bo troubled with anything from Guiteuu'M sister. I had hoped by waiting to come before you with a better showing, vindicated so far as insanity is an excuse for crime, but my heart burns within me, and, notwithstanding that unjust verdict, my brother is shut away from the world for months in a tomb like cell, not r. ray of sunshme, not a blade of grass, not a flower, not a bird, not a friend to speak a kind word. Who is thereto speak in his behalf ii* not his heart broken sister? Did I not speak, thc very stones would cry out. Hts sainted mother, the purest and noblest of women-that mother, who gave her life for his, who suffered torture for seven long years because of his birth, uutil death made her free: that father, tender and kind, but mistaken in his di rection of the boy, would, if possible, make their voices heard from beyond the grave, even as I verily believe would the glorified Garfield cry out in horror at that verdict. What of that verdict ? Was it according to truth, justice and mercy ?" Mrs. Scoville then reviews in her own way the evidence and incidents of the trial, during which she says Guitcau was "not born right, raised right nor mar ried right." She concludes as follows: Pour forth to your merciful heart the pleadings of one who must ever feel a lister's love for an insane, motherless boy, even though by the whole world con demned and despised. I beg you let mo jay to you and yours what ho would say ?fin his right mind: "Forgive, even as Christ shall forgive us nil." With the utmost sorrow and respect, I remain sin :erely yours, FRANCES M. SCOVILLE; <r?:i2 West Monroe street. SCOVILLE (KUNU HOME.. WASHINGTON, February 17.-Scoville, :ounsel for Guiteau, leaves for his homo in Chicago to-day. Ile states that as the record of the case is not yet completed he will not be able to file his bill of excep tions for a few weeks, sending it from Chicago by mail. He was not certain that he would return to Washington at ill. Thc Presidential Heartache. A rumor that Miss Ida Farrel, of this ?ity, who is visiting in Washington, at the residence of Bob Ingersoll, is being paid particular attention by President Arthur is creating quite a flutter in so zial circles here. The story comes from s personal friend of the young lady's acquaintances. Miss Ida is the only daughter of H. G. Farrel, ono of Pe oria s best known citizens. She is a blonde of medium size, good looking, of graceful and stylish appearance, ana well educated. For several years, she was the belle of society here, and in the opinion of many was the most handsomo woman in tho city. She has quito a penchant for private theatricals, and on several occasions appeared in amateur entertain ments, in the leading female part sus taining her role quite creditably. A cousin of hers.
