E. B. MUKRA Y, Ktlitor. THURSDAY, JUI/Y \ ?8?h TBRM8 : ONE VKAK.9i.H0. SIX MONTHS. Wv. Two Dollar! If uot paid lu ?Uvance. Thc Honorable Samuel Dibble, repre senting one ol the strongest anti-protce lion districts ?II tho United States, pro poses to vote for Moil. S. J. Wandall, one of tho highest protectionists in Con gress, for Speaker of the next House of Representatives. Mr. Dibble at tempts to ?tone in tho attitude of a great moral reformer, who has the courage to do a great net despite the clamor of the ignorant herd against it, but unfortu nately for Mr. Dibble nothing beroi?: is involved ?ti thc question ol the Speaker ship. Il'' is thc servant, and not the master of the people of his District, and in all things, except questions of princi ple, where no mau has the right lo sur render his convictions, bc is bound as a faithful representative to reflect the wishes of his constituents, ile is sent to Congress to represent the wishes and voice of the people of tho First District, ami not the private friendships or per sonal obligations or individual views of tho Hon. Samuel Dibble. Ile cannot raise the issue of any principle between himself and his constituents in this mat ter, for there is none. We admire Mr. Randall as much ns Mr. Dibblo does, and predict for him the highest honors from thc Democratic party hereafter, but just now bc is not available to thc party for Speaker. Ile is at variance with ii on the tariff, which is destined to bo the leading issue in thc next presidential election. It is, therefore, unwisu and un fortunate for tho Democrats to seriously contemplate making him Speaker at this time. Thc election of Speaker begins the policy of the Democratic party, and therefore personal preference ought to be laid aside, and a voto for the princi ples of the party should be cast, rather than a vole for the preference of individ uals. If Mr. Dibble persists in bis in tention lo vote for Mr. Randall, he may find thc people of the First District HUllicicnlly strong in their convictions to induce them to select a representative, next year who is more in accord with their wishes. DEATH OK (J KN. CONN KU. (.?encrai James Conner, of Charleston, died in Richmond, Va., on Tuesday morning, "Otb of June. He was one of tho lending lawyers*of this State, and possessed the admiration and confidence of our people to a greater degree, per haps, llian any Ullin of bis lime. Me was true, bravo, able and polished-a nuble man, a real patriot. In 1K5G he was appointed United Stntcs District Attorney for South Carolina, and served with ubility and fidelity to the duties of his position until the secession of the State in 1K00. Mo went into the army and was wounded nt Mechnnicsvillu on the 20th of June, 18(52, exactly twenty? ono yenrs before bis death, and returned to the field before his wounded leg heal ed. Subsequently a shell tore this limb from bis body while bc wns lending II?H hrigndc in battle. He suffered from this old wound up to the time of his denth, but without complaining he re entered his profession nt the close of the war, and attained thc highest distinction itt thc- bar as a man of purity of character and ubility in professional attainments. In lS7o" bc wns nominated for Attorney (!encrai on the straight-out Democratic ticket, und ihe people of South Carolina to day feel that they owe more to the cool, sngncious and reliable advice and counsel of Cien. Conner, and consequent ly to his influence for thc success of that campaign, than to any other singlo cause. He hus always been true to bis citizen ship and the duties it ?inposed-a patriot in the truest sense ; nnd the news of his death, though not unlooked for by many, has produced tho profoundest regret throughout the State. Tho death of such a mau is a publie loss. His life and his services have onriched tho Stute hy giving to the young men of South Carolina an example that is worthy of admiration and of imitation. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. The Railroad Commission has at last made its schedule of rates for freight and passenger transportation on our railroads. Some of them we like, while others we fear will be productive of further com plications. Rule 8 is, we think, unrea sonable, in that it permits persons to ship freight by passenger trains if they are willing to pay fifty per cent, addi tional charges. This is unreasonable, as it interferes with the contracts between the railroad companies and the express companies. It may also produco mis chief by inducing the shorter branches of railroads to run only passenger trains, upon which they will carry freight, also making what we call a mixed train, and thereby coming within thia rule, to chargo fi ft y per cent, additional on freights. We are sorry to see any en couragement given to carrying freights on passenger trains. It would bo better, we think, as far as possible to prevent the carrying of passengers and freight. Rulo 10, which gives railroads the right to regulate charges for shorter distances by their ! proportion of through rates between terminal or junctionnl competi tive points, without making a reduction along the line, is not clear in Its mean ing; and if it is interpreted as it appears to provide, will directly nullify the Act under which tho commission is created. For instance, the rule appears to give tho Air Line road the right, in carrying freights from Charlotte to Seneca City, to regulate their charges by the propor tion of their charges to Atlanta, a through or competitive point without proportionately regulating their freights t> other points along the line. If ?his is the intention of the rule, it is in conflict with the act, and tbe whole scheme of railroad regulation is a failure. We presume, however, that this role is in terpreted di fieront ly by. the Commission, and think it is to be regretted that they had not expressed themselves in clearer tirma. Again, role five is so worded grammatically as to prohibit railroads ftorn doing"'what it waa certainly ?utend el to Authorize them to do. lt says, if a corpse is not in good condition, and not properly packed, and not accompanied I by a person in charge, thc railroads may j refuse to receive it; whereas we suppose ii was meant to allow them lo receive it if it is not in good condition, or is im properly (lacked, or is not accompanied by a person in charge, making either of tlie.-e failures a cause for refusai, instead of requiring a concurrence of all of them. The freight rules adopted lower freight* within the .^tate, but if adhered to, will probably raise them on through freights to ami from points in the N ul tb and West. Our men hauls with whom we have conversed are not favorably im pressed with the new rales on this ac count, ami therefore wu await the practi cal tesl of the application ol' thc rate. The action ol the Commission ns to passenger fares is, wc think, wise and proper, and its enforcement will, wu be lieve, prove alike beneficial lo the rail roads and to the people. The prevalence of a low rate of passage ?minees an in crease of travel, so that the increased business of the roads will yield them a belter profit. It is understood that the railroads will contest thc Ac! in the Courts, so that it will probably not go into effect for sumo mouths yet. We incline: to the prevailing opinion lu re that the woik of the Commission upon tin- ?'. ?gilt question is altogether problematic, with thc chances against any beucht on through freight-., which Cinstitute the hulk of our commerce. Another "Convel?an.M AxiiKlusox, S. C , July I, lss:'.. Mit. KIM mit : I'lease allow- me space to reply to an article in your issue of June 20th, beaded "A Correction," from L. O. Breazealo, Lancaster, Texas. Ile accuses me of exaggerating the prices of merchandise in Texas, and seems to think that I wished to mislead the peo ple in regard to thu "Lone Star State." The article from mc in your issue of May .'list, wiiH n private letter to the Local Kditor of tho [XTKI.T.IOKNCKIt, and was not intended for publication ; li en co tho charge of my intention to misrepresent Texas or mislead the people in any way :- not true. My letter was not intended for the public,lind of course I did not intend to mislead anybody. In regard lo prices in Texas, I claim that my report w as correct, and no doubt .Mr. Brea/.ca le is right. I claimed that a good suit of clothes would cost from $20 to $50, a gnod pair of shoes from ?1.00 to ?10.00, a good hal from $8.00 to $15.00, and I still stick to thc above figures. You will find cheap and ehmldy goods in any country that will correspond to the prices quoted by Mr. il. My reference was to good goods, such as you would lind in u first-class store, and not to c/ic<t]> Bluff', While in Texas I visited several of the most prominent cities, mid I made il a point to get figures on the different classes of goods, and I did not misrepresent the facts as I got them. I did not visit Lancaster, but I would judge from Mr. IJ.'s letter that il is a very aheap place. In reference to board, Mr. li. says you can get good board from $8.00 to $15.00 per month. I paid from $2.50 lo $.1.00 per day at first elliss lin tels, and tho faro was m'mrtiUe ; so I would bo far from risking a $8.00 month hotise. Texas is a fino Stale, but it has been overrated. I believe it will be a better State ten years from now limn it is to day. As I said before, a man with energy can do as well here as he eau there, even if our dependence is upon tram oui red hill*. I will say this much, there is morn progress and enterprise in Texas than in the old States at pre-cut ; bul you must remember that Texas is compara* lively a new State, and ibero is more room for improvements. I think the inducements should be great lu induce a man to leave this country, where we have good watet and health, to settle in a country where both aro wanting. Hop ing friend Otis great success m his adopted State, I remain yours, ?Ste, FOSTER KANT. Congressman Dibble lutc-nh .ved on tho Situation. COLUMBIA, S. C., Juno 28.-Meeting Congressman Dibble, to-day, I said : "Colonel, you have, of course, seen that nome of our newspapers aro making some severe remarks about, those of our Congressmen who aro said to have a Sreference for Hon. S. J. Randall for peaker of the next House of Represen tatives, aud are asking who of you will givo your support to Mr. Randall ?" "Well," ho said, "I expect to support Mr. Randall, and I shall regret, if in doing so, I place myself in opposition to the wishes of my immediate constituents, or the people of my State, as it is inti mated I will be doing. I will advo cate Mr. Randall because be is tho ablest leader iu the House, besides being the best trained parliamentarian. He has always been a truo friend of tho South, mid has watched and defended her interests, not from policy, but from patriotism. He is a statesman of broad and liberal views, and not the petty pol itician that he is sometimes represented to be. Whether or not a majority of my people think I am acting fur thc best, I am doing what I believe will be for their interest, and think tho future will justify my conduct. Mr. Randall has always opposed, with consummate abili ty, any measure that in his judgment was inimical to this section and his services in our behalf should not bo for gotten." Mr. Dibble was not talking for the papers, but I violate none of tho pro prieties in reporting bis remarks, ns be said he had made no secret of Iiis inten tion to vote for Mr. Randall, and bis position was well understood. Most of tho State papers adhere to the old free trade doctrine of South Caroli na, hence their hostility to Mr. Randall, who is supposed to be tho leader of the protectionist Democrats, and they there fore hope to see him defeated by some one who holds views on the tariff moro in sympathy with their own notions. Strenuous efforts-are consequently being made to hold tbe South Carolina delega tion solid against Randall, and some of the editors even go so far as to threaten any of our members who may ditter from them in this matter. It !* to be regret ted that such a cou rsc should he pursued, for every man is entitled to his own opinion, and even a Congressman should be allowed some latitude. Colonel Dib ble, during bib short service in Congress, won the admiration nf his political friends and the respect of his opponents, and, judging by his past efforts and bli recog nized ability, it is easy to predict for him a splendid Congressional career,- Chron icle and Cbnt?ilutlonal?L -Ex-Governor Hagood's hay and .took farm, in the Saluda section of Edgflfleld, is said to be tho largest and finoit in the State.

For a like service, for equal dis tances, more shall not bc charged to ono than to another person, nor shall tho same or more bc charged for a longer than for a shorter distance, it being un derstood, however, that this rule ahull not be so construed as to interfere with the provisions of Rules 9 and 10. 5. There shall bo no discrimination by any railroad company chartered by this State in favor of or ngainst any railroad company with which it may connect, but each road shall deal with uh its connec tions at any one point on the same terms, aud snail atlord the like usual customary facilities for the interchange of freight between all of its connections at the same point, any contract, combination, joint ownership or management to tho contrary notwithstanding. ti.

(Jue da}' a year or two ago a Green ville, South Carolina, editor heard that a man was to be lynched in A locality about fifteen miles away, and he put a new pencil into his pocket, hired the fastest horse in town and started for the scene. When he arrived he found a crowd under a tree, and in the circle was the prisoner-a villainous chap, who bad committed a heinous offense. The crowd had started to hang him, but several citizens had advanced such argu ments in favor of permitting the law to take it? course that it had about been de cided to tuko the. rascal back to jail. Williams drove up. jumped down, and in a minute or two learned that the utl'air was off. He had driven fifteen miles tu report a case of lynching, and his disgust was profound. Mounting a stump, he began : "Gentlemen, look at that thar' boss, i've foundered him to get hero aud see this hanging. It will be $200 out of my pocket, and tho only return will be a three-liner in the New?, saying that yo? concluded not to hang. Gentlemen, bas patriotism died out of this community ?" "No! no! no!" yelled the crowd. "Does it make any particular difference to this man whether lie is hung now or three months later?" "No ! no !" "Gentlemen, I believe in law and or der, but I've driven fifteen miles, foun dered a boss and feel a bit broken up. I don't say that I want to see this man bung, and I don't say that lynching is the best niau, but if he should be swung up anti I should be asked to sit on tbe Coroner's jury and bring iu a ver dict of suicide I don't seo how I could refuse. Gentlemen, look at that boss!" "Swing him up!" yelled twenty men.
