Thc Greenville AViri says : "Tlie people of Greenville eau not hear or think too much of manufactures. They are our hope and dependence, and we can never have loo many. We cer tainly have too few now, although the city has made greater progress in that way than any we know of ill the South. We have a plaid fac tory, yarn factory, furniture factory, wagon factory, lard factory, colton seed oil mill, foundries tanneries, planing mills, and Hour, meal and hominy mills, already established, with a fertilizer factory and an icc factory assured. Cotton cloth from Piedmont and plaids from the Huguenot mill ate sold here and throughout thc South, and dress our people. *They wear leather tanned in Greenville and clothing made from the raw cotton in Greenville, and our farmers haul fertilizer and stock teed made in Greenville, ride in wagons made in Greenville, sleep in beds, sit in chairs and eat from tables made in Greenville, saw lumber with saw mills made from beginning to end in Greenville, gin their colton willi gins made in Greenville, u.-.c doors and blinds of Greenville make, ami eat Hour and hominy ground in Greenville, If the blockade was estab lished next year we would be able to live very comfortably on our own re sources." The AVtfi then goes on to show (hst every dollar kept at home, as well ns every dollar brought to the eily in return for exports, is an advantage lo the whole community, for il adds to its wealth ; and that every new inhabitant makes one more man to expend his earnings io the development of the common pros perity. The AVtrj then show* that water transit is not now necessary to thc estab lishment ol lurge cities, as thc rapidity j and cheapness of railroad freights has weil nigh annihilated the former ad van tage? of water, and urges upon thc peo- j pie of Greenville further manufacturing development, with a view to becoming one of the leading cities of the Union, We admire the ambition and thc zeal of the -Vfic*, and must confess that its article is practical and interesting. What it points out a* possible cnn be attained by any live, progressive city, situated in a healthy region of the country. Our people should remember that while Greenville is so far ahead of us at this time, her prosperity is due to her manufactories. Anderson has a better surrounding country, and has helter railroad facilities in her reach than Greenville has. In proportion to our inhabitants, the business of Anderson is far ahead of that of Greenville. Green ville, however, incontestably leads us in prosperity because she bas prosperous manufactories, while we have none. It is n reproach to Anderson that this state of facts exists. Our farmers are equal in progressive enterprise to any in the State. Our merchants have a reputation and credit equal to any that can be found. Anderson has kept pace with her neighbors in culturo and material pro gress every way since ibo war. except the one maller of building factories. We have utterly neglected this. Manu facturing baa become the greatest source of independent prosperity to the cities or towns which have had the foresight to eugnge in it. It increases the population, adds greatly to the trade, and augments very largely the general prosperity of the locality in which it ia situated. It stirs new life into the whole community. It brings large quantities of money into circulation, ami creates a demand for every species of production. If Anderson expects to grow she must engage in manufacturing. Wo have all the trade now that we can ever get, merely as a center for merchandizing. We can ouly add lo this trade by giving Inducements which wi!! cauris thc neigh boring country to fill up more densely with population, and which will get trade from other iowna s nd villages, by making products which they must buy. Our city is so surrounded by railroads and towns that tho thoughtful citizen who looks at the map will see that An derson must either bo content to stand still, or she must go to making something to sell to those neighbors who can buy and sell goods ns cheap as wo can. We have urged our people to enter tho race for manufacturing development so often, and to so little purpose, that we almost despair of doing any good by again alluding to it, but the importance of the mutter must be our excuse for frequent al lusions to it. Wo want to see Anderson a manufacturing center. To do so, we must have a beginning. Every year that it is put off delays our prosperity, and gives others the start of us in tho race. We hope that our people will not allow the present year to pass without raising the capital stock for at least one good facto ry Who will take the lead in starting the work? RAILROAD LEGISLATION. The Augusta Chronicle and Cviulitu tionalitt, a few days since, contained an editorial attempting to show that the Southern States have lost greatly in railroad development in consequence of the tendency to control railroad corpo rations by legislation, and instances the ease of the Palmetto Railroad enterprise, the agitators of which secured a charter at the last session of the Legislature of thia State to run a road from Hamlet, North Carolina, by way of Camden and Columbia, to Augusta. The syndicate proposing this extension is represented by Hr. John Robinsou, of Baltimore, r.nd controls several railroads in North Carolina. During the pendency of the Railroad Commission bill io tho North Carolina . Legislature, Mr. Robinson wrote a strong letter against its passage, and among other things said that be bad arranared to bcild tbs Palmetto road in this State, but that the passage of our Commission bill had caused him to indefinitely postpone the undertaking, as he did not wish to invest a dollar in a Stat? where the laws undertake to con? trol railroad, management. Upon this lettor our Augusta contasiporary con? elodea that railroad legislation is detri mental to the South. This strikes us aa hasty and incouslatent on the part of our contemporary. In the first place, the ?acta about Mr. Robinson's enterprise do r ot appear to tis in accord wit Ii i lie hu pression Iiis letter to thc North Carolina ' Legislature has created. Thc charier ol the Palmetto railroad was applied for at the ?asl ses.?011 ol our Legislature. An agent for the proposed road wm in Columbia, and anxiously sought the new ?harter while the railroad bill was pending, saying to several members that while he would rather thc railroad law idiould not pass, that his company would I mid the ruad anyway, if we would give , them the c'lHfter. The charier was not ? passed until alter the railroad law had passed our Senate, and it? passage was i assured in the I linne. The text of thu I bill had been published, and it i-. min a I sonable to suppose that Mr. Robinson ' did in>t know what the hill was or thal he was uuiiifuriiieil as io its chancea of passage. Then wits the lime for him lo have said that he did not want the ( har ter if the Com mission bili passed. Un the coiltrury, the agent for the Company, who was an intelligent and well-informed gei .ieinau, said distinctly that they did wa'it ?hu charier, and he showed thc . cry greatest noiicitudc for i tn passage. lt passed j ii-1 about thc lime thc Rail \ road law passed. !i was -ii weeks or two months latir that Mr. Robinson wrote his lei ter lo the Legislature ol North Carolina, which frightened them into defeating ?ny railroad legislation To solve this appitrcut change of Mr Robinson's resolution int i a di.-ad of lin South Carolina lau-, is not consisten with the lads connected with the obtain mr of his charter. It is mon* prohahli that his aband unen! of the euterprisi was indefinite, as he said, fir thu pur puso of being resumed as S,,OII as hi frightened the North Carolina Legisla turo out ol'acting, lt may he, also, tba his new charter luis answered his pm pone without building his new road Mr. Robinson ami dis friends own n lin j of steamers lind railroad from ilaltimor to Charlotte, N. C. They, nf cou rsi j want to extend their I ra (lie across Soul Carolina into Georgia. They do in own a line id' railroad across this Stat. Hence, they must either build a road < make a trade willi Mime company bavin ii road already built. Such a contra, could be mude either with the \Villllili| ton, Columbia and Augusta, or tl Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road ami il is not impossible that when M Robinson got hi? charier lie-aid to thei either give mc a trude hy which I cn reach Georgia, or I will build the Va incito railroad, and that one or both these lines traded with him, so as prevent thc competition of two linc Wc have heard timi such things hu been done in the railroad world, and may have been dons in this instance, case of which Mr, Robinson would course be ready to nuign his change mimi to the railroad legislation. Fort natcly, however, people aro now too w informed to bo affected by such pretenc Everybody knows that Georgia L practically had the present South Cai lina railroad law for several years, a yet during luis very time import! railroads have been projected in tl Slate, as, for instance, thc road in Atlanta to Ilirminghaill, thc ruad fr Lula through thu llluc Ridge mountn to Knoxville, and other roads of lo importance. Thus, it cannot bo \\ tended that Railroad Commissions dr oil" railroad development. The very a dicule which owns the lino from Lull Knoxville owns from Walhalla to Kn ville, and yet when Georgia had Commission law and South Carolina I none, these ca pi tal ?its preferred build through Georgia to South Carolina, do not think thc declaration of Robinson anything more than a sub luge. We believe thc State has right lo rcgulnte common furriers. I a duty the State, which creates tl corporations, owes to her citizens, if she ?H fortunate enough to secure services of prudent, hut efficient, i upon tlie Commission, any State wi tries it willi bc greatly benefited :i! result. The whole problem, in judgment, resolves itself into a sin question of getting good men for Commission. Willi them, great ben will be derived by the people, but i bad or inefficient men, injury to a gre or less degree is sure to ensure, think South Carolins did right to e u railroad law. If her Commission properly execute tho law, there wit no occasion to regret its adoption. The Greenville Arie* says that it dieted when the University of S. Carolina was established that it w occasion the death of the denominati colleges in this State, and points to precarious condition of Adger Colley a. verification of its prediction, unfortunate condition of Adger Col docs not arise from thc compelitk other colleges, hut from iutcrnal dit sious, which aro fast verifying the t of thc scriptural adage that a h divided against itself cannot stand, vious to these difficulties tho Co! flourished, and we trust that ere loiq breach may bc hwaled, and this y< College restored to its just influence usefulness among the educational i tutious of the State. There is, in opinion, uo antagonism between University and tho denominati institutions of thc Slate, but if thc to bo any injury inflicted by the S Carolina University upon them, it como from the University becoi superior to these institutions. We the denominational institutions.

S?K TiloMAd M??KK : .My />'o / Vir/? -< ?f late years we have j paid very great attention to the subject j of education. Large appropriation? of ninney are annually made to enable our poorest people lo obtain in the govern? UK nt schools an elementary education, livery child over eight years of age is allowed lo attend sc h (Mi I regularly free of co-t every year until bc obtains from the state or futility Superintendent of Kducalioii a certif?cale of Proficiency in the brauchen taught in thc Stale Kiemen? tary Schools ; mid no citizen is permitted io have any voice in government affaira Ulli?si he hollis such certificate. We have in every Congressional Dis trict a Public Normal School, in which candidates for the office of public teacher are thoroughly prepared for their voca tion , and no one can obtain ii situation as public teacher unless he hold? a Cer tificate of Approval from one of the District Normal Schools. Fur higher education, we have well endowed Institution* furnishing ampio opportunities to all who are able to en joy them. These institutions are so numerous and so w idely scattered through thc land that there is no need of sending a youth to a great distance from borne to he educated : HO that for a young mun to leave his own Stale and attend Col lege i;i a remote section of the country is now almost entirely out of I li 0 ques tion. , The advantages of this state of things are very numerous and very great. Our young men go to College to be prepared for the duties and business of subse quent lite; and. whatever station one may occupy in t-ociety, his interests of every kind may be greatly promoted and his usefulness much enhanced by the co-operation and help of his fellow men. The attachments of fellow-stu dents al school are notably strong, ami, in favorable circumstances, may be life long. A youth attending a school re mote from his future home will lose the great advantage of his fellow-students' help, because he is entirely beyond their range : while one whose College dnys aro spent in the neighborhood of his fu ture arena will have in every communi ty around him all his lifo firm friends and earnest helpers. To the want of this favoring fact may bo traced Ihc comparative failure of many a young man who enjoyed the very superior ud vniitages of a distant Institution. Our schools in general also are con ducted on more rational principles than formerly. Pupils arc not allowed to embarrass their progress and dissipate (heir minds by undertaking u large number of studies at the Hame time ; and to this wu attribute the wonderful achievements of devoted specialists in thc arts and sciences. When you were among us, it was quito com mon to oller ii special prize of con siderable value to the student who should excel his fellows in some designated study. You may remember the Thomas More Gold Medal for Greek offered by youraelf in the Moroville University. The stimulus produced by these prizes waa supposed to conduce to more earnest study, and consequently more thorough scholarship, 'lut, In the course of time, it wns observed that they had injurious tendencies also. The stimulus intended for the whole body of students v,'as found to crert actual permanent influence on only u very few : for it soon became man ifest that only a small number of thc students could hope to win the prize, aud ali t'ue rest iii crt-fore ceased to make any effort toward it. The generous em ulation which existed at the beginning of the co?tent was in great danger of degenerating into bitter rivalry ; and, if it did not, it was very likely to induce too severe.meutal exertion, which often resulted in nervous prostiation and per manent loss of health. And, besides, it did not seem fair to give the prize with all its honors to only one of several competitors who were so uoarly equal in merit that it was very difficult lo de cide to whom to award it. From these considerations, the plan was entirely discontinued some years ago ; and, in some Institutions now, pre miums of varying value aro awarded to a'.! who grade above a certain described standard, respectably but not unreason ably high,-the value of the premium being somewhat proportional to the grade attained. Many of our best Institutions, however, maka no such appeals, and suc ceed iu inducing their pupils to study for their studies, sake. Tho good effects of Hie general dis semination of education can hardly be exaggerated. They aro manifest, not only in tho elevated social intercourse which renders lifo among us so delight ful ; but they impress themselves on every line of industry and enterprise, stimulating inventive genius to the pro duction of labor-saving machines and desirable conveniences in every depart ment of effort or enjoyment. These give time for further study ; and so, by recip rocal influence, the race advances with accelerating speed towards the goal of perfect happiness. Your nephew, T.

Uer dress wes cut with daggers in sever al places bu -, she received no injury. Lady Florence was walking in a includ ed spot near the woods when the two men asked her what time it was. She replied that she bad no watch, and af terwards noticed that though they wore women's clothes (heir faces had been shared. Much alarmed, she ?tarted to walk away and was followed by the men, one of whom se i red her. 8he struggled to escape, but seeing their daggers fell in a swoon. This took place at four o'clock in the afternoon and ahe did not recover ber senses until 4.45 p. m. Lady Flor ence bas been prostrated to-day. The story of the affair was elicited from her only at intervals. The saving of her life is attributed to her St. Bernard dog, which, it is supposed, protected her while she lay in the swoon. Lady Flor ence bad no reason to suspect immediate danger, although she bad been somewhat fearful since the receipt of letters about the Land League. Tho last thing she remembers is one of the mci puohiog a [quantity of mud into her mouth. On ber recovery she found that both palms were cut ac ross and her glovesvoevexed.

Lo N DON, March 15.- A terrill.- explo sion occurred in the local government board offices in Westminster, at '.?o'clock to night, destroying much property. The rr j? irt was heard in the bouse of com mons ami caused great alarm. The con cussion was so great thal it shook thc side galleries and thc reporters' gallery. It being the dinner hour bul few mem bers of thc house were present in thc hall. The duke of Edinburgh was in thc peels' gallery, ami seemed alarmed. Nd one wa- injured. The wildest rumors are alloat. The report resembled the discharge of an ho ton gun. The explo sion was at lir?l ascribed to gas, but the impression is growing that it was caused by dynamite, and that a deliberate at tempt was made to blow up the govern ment office*. The explosion being the subject of consideration in the house of commons, Sir William 1 larcomt, home secretary, said bc did not think il would be right to say anything about the mat ter until au ollicial inquiry hail been made. Ile heard that au attempt had been made lo blow up the Time? office, but that no injury liad been done. The explosion was heard at a distance of two or three miles. Yesterday evening a canister containing explosive material was fourni behind the Tune? oflice willi, it is rumored, a lighted fuse attached. The police are making an* investigation. Thc officials think the explosion was caused by gunpowder or dynamite. The officers of thc gas company declare that they car. lind no evidences that it was caused by gas. Thc force of the explo sion shot large portions ol'masonry across the street. The Times attaches little importance lo thc explosion which occurred ut its office. lue canister contained only a Hinall quantity of powder. The Daily AVMM says : "Il is of course obvious that the explosion was the re sult of premeditated design. Wc arc confronted willi the fact that there are in London persons bold enough to acton the wildest counsels of U'Donnovaii Hossa. It is impossible- not lo connect thc authors of this outrage with certain phases of Irish crime and the assassin press in America." Tho 7Y?trssays: ' Thc Feniananswei to Gladstone's speech on the Land A cl has not been loug delayed. Wo are it the presence nf the first attempt of lb? dynamite party to carry out the policy ol bringing thc war into thc heart of Lon don." LONDON, March 10-11 a. m.-Then is an enormous crowd gathered nt th? scene of the explosion last night in tin Local Government Hoard offices in West minster. The government inspector lia: made au examination of the portion o thu building damaged by the exploflioi und places the loss ut A'4,U00. The vea sel which contained the explosive mate rial was placed in the cellar of the Loca Government llourd ollices. The Time* says: "If thc Irish ex tremisls are really going to reply TV ill dynamite to any measure they disapprove of it is certain that thc day of remedia legislation is over." LONDON, March 16 - 1 p. m.-A late and closer inspection shows that the ex plosion occurred from tho outside of th building. The Time? snys : "The explosion a our omeo occurred at 7.45- o'clock oi Wednesday evening, but the falling o the canister prevented any acrious dam age. There is reason to believe that th two attempts of this kind were made b the same miscreants." WAH HARCOURT TH K OBJECT OK AT TACk?

Ordiuaily, thc larmer who ge's fifteen cen:- a pound for his cotton make-. a prof?t that is hut .shabbily related to the labor and expense ol cultivating his crop, aod this is the great secret of the j proverbial poverty of the cotton farmer, i In 1882, the farmer-' all OVT the South made large crop- of grain and saved a lar/c amount ot forage in the shape ol . fodder and hay. The colton crop did not the circumstances -that i- to -ay, in the come up lo expectations, but, under all presence ol lull corn enif, (Karlinwing granaries ; mi a reasonable supply of pro visions ol' all sorts -the price al wilie1, it sold was reasonably remunerative. In any event, the beginning of the present year found the farmers of (Jeorgia in a la-tier condition than they had been ?ince thc war. It they were not altogether even with the world, they were at least prepared to move comfortably in the di rection of prosperity. ll is tn tie feared, however, that this le-on of comfort and comparative hide: pendelten has been lost upon the great majority ol' the farmers. Tho area de vi, led to small grain last winter was greatly reduced as compared with that of the winter before ; and in spite of the low price of the staple and the ?m?nense crop that has just been gathered, information comes to us from every direction that the planters propone to plant a larger acreage in colton than ever before. How many hardworking, energetic agriculturists this programme will bring to thc verge of ruin it is impossible to estimate, but thc number will be large. Estimates show that il the farmers of Texas raise even an average crop this year, two million hales will he gathered in that Stato alone -the increase in the number of baleH being due io the increased acreage which the farmers propose to devote to cotton. Now, if the price has (allen below tho point of r?mun?ration with the present crop, where will it go when the largely increased crop of the next cotton year is placed upon the marketV lu addition to this, the cotton crop.s of India and Egypt, fostered and stimulated hy Knglish capi tal and Knglish enterprise, are increasing every year at a rali- that the farmers of the South do not properly appreciate, and these cottons have a direct influence in regulating the price of American cot ton. Thc famous or infamous system of protection, which is the pride and boast of sonic of the most influential nrgans of public opinion, does not con tem plate the protection of the important industry of cotton-growing, and consequently the planters have only their own scanty re sources to fall back upon. As matters stand, they will never be nble to hold their own until they con elude to become independent of cotton - until every farm in tho South is self sus faining. When this is tho case, the Southern cotton will control the markets of the world. It is useless to talk of holding the crop for higher prices. As long as thc farmers continue to exhaust themselves and their lands in thc vaiu etFort to make cotton-planting proiitab! by planting all colton, they will be at the meicy of the supply merchants and the speculators. Tn the planter, however, w hose farm is self sustaining-raising its own supplies and furnishing its own fer tilizers-thc price of cotton isa matter of indifference. If thc price is high, he makes large profits; if it is low, ho loses nothing, for, on a self sustaining farm, the cost of cultivation is always at the minimum. Such a farm is free from the usurious entanglements of the credit system, and the necessity of spending its proceeds forstufithat it should have pro doced.-Allanta Constitution. MEDICAL CARD. I>R.
