Last night, after midnight, they agreed on a
pt camble and resolutions, which set forth that
while the pooplc of Virginia do not believe
that thc negroes, in their uneducated condi?
tion, arc as yet fit for suffrage, yet, in view of
the expression of public opinion in thc recent
national election, and in restoring hcrmony
and union, they are willing to accept universal
suffrage, coupled with universal amnesty. A

Washington and urge Congress to legislate
so as to secure theso to thc people of thc
S.r.te.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF 7 BE NEWS.
We have read with some surprise an article
which appeared iu your paper of the 2St? ult.,
on "The State and our Railroad System," feign?
ed "Tax-payer."
The writer sets ont with the complaint that
the State and the City of Charleston have in?
curred at least oiic-lialfof their debt by sub?
scriptions to railroads. It might woU be quos
tioned whether the State or the Ci ly of Charles?
ton could have confered a greater benefit upon '
its citizens than they have done ny their wise ;
and liberal poiicy towards railroads, and we
sholl certainly not attempt to re-write the cpi- j
taphs of those departed worthies who have loft '
us this legacy. There may have beeu mtsnian- 1
agement; there will always bo discontent with '
any management; but this arises perhaps 1
oftener hom the constitutional inlirmity of the
grumbler than from any fault ot the raiiroad 1
or its managers. It has been the history of too '
many large and meritorious enterprises' at tho j
South, both public and private, to struggle .
through years of toil and anxiety, only to be !
sacrificed at last to some unworthy* prejudice.
It is scarcely a valid objection to au institu- !
tion or corporation, good otherwiso in itself,
that its bonds were bought during the .var
with Confederate money; but thi?, solaras ,
the interest of the wi i ter in this road is con- '
cerned, is not the case. Some of us at least in- i
vested in these bonds when tho road was bist
commenced, and we did it conscientiously, to I
aid an eutei prise which we believed would con- '
fer benefit both upon tho city and tho State, 1
and we protest against being sacrificed to ap- 1
pease the pique or prejudice ol any ono. 3
The editorials of IHE NEWS, on the subject
of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, have j
not besn answered, and if the majority o? tho
Legislature can and will take the trouble to
read them, they will sec, what Tax payer has !
failed to sec, that tho aid solicited for the com- !
pletion of this road from tho Legislature is not 1
to increase tho liability of the State either di?
rect cr contingent, but to euablo the company '
to complote the road.und thereby conter a vast?
ly increased value upon a security now in a
most unsatisfactory condition. We know very
little of thc plans or purposes of thc Boatd of i
Directors of tho Savannah and Charleston Rail- j
road Company, but wo aro inclined lo think .
that Northern capital will not be intimidated i
or discouraged by thc course they will pursue, |
if their memorial is granted by thc Legisla- ?
ture; iudced it has been intimated to us that ,
there aro parties who will readily undertake |
the completion of tho road to the advantage of ,
the State, to the. bjul interests of thc city, fo
tho great convenience of the travelling com- '
mumty, and to the infinite satisfaction of those
whoso'money helped to build thc road.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Grant vs. Johnson-Tit for Tat-Outside
lnnusnralioii or Inside Inaugural-La
co ii i sins of Grant.
From the Washington corrcsponcence of ihe
Baltimore papers wc take the following :
A partial cs?mate of tho great number of
people who will be here to witness General
Grant's inauguration may be formed when it is
stated that every room in one of tho largest
hotels has been already eng :god, and thc pro?
prietors were compelled to refuse at least two
hundred other applicants.
In noticing th? other day thc little personal
"unpleasantness' between thc outgoing and in?
coming Presidents, I took occasion to depre?
cate thc unsoldicr-like dodge ol' General Grant
in shirking a visit to Mr. Johnson on New
Yeal's day by an ignominious Hight to Phila?
delphia. Thia has given risc to thc sugges?
tion that anuthci difficulty is ahead; that upon
"inauguration da\" it has been customary for
thc Setting Sun to attend tho Bisin r in his
triumphant course to thc Capitol, and that it
may not bo agreeable to tho latter luminary to
permit his elfulgcnca to bo eclipse! by the su?
perior splendor ot the former. I apprehend
no difficulty on this score. .Air. Johnson
will scarcely, after what has occurred, com?
mence negotiations upon (his delicate and
grave point. Mr. Adam3 put on a stiff upper
lin on the 4th of March, 1821), and did not at?
tend (nor did ho offer to attend) the ceremonies
of Jackson's inauguration. Doubtless there
have been other parallel cases in our history.
Bur besides all this, L learn that General Grant
haB intimated laconically to his Man Fri?
day that ho desires to break up and for?
ever destroy the Plebeian custom of out-door
inaugurations and elaborato "Inaugurals."
Ile will therefore bo sworn in, togethor with
tho Vice-l'rosident, in the Sonate Chamber,
without any parade. President Johnson's
presence can thercforo bo very well dispensed
with. A principal reason for this change of
base is that tho coming man is "no orator, as
Brutus i6.:' His speech prefatory to kissing
tho calf-skin, it is thought, will be exceedingly
brief, not bigger than a"piece of ehalt, of suffi?
cient dimensions, however, for u.arking down
certain important and profound political max?
ims, such as ' Lot ns have Peace !" "['Jl fight
it out ou this linc if ib takos mo all summer!"
"Congress knows more about these mattors
than 1 do myself." "I have not given them a
thought." "I havo seen thc horse Dexter fre?
quently, and think tho likeness perfect." lt
would be manifestly outside tho pale of deco?
rum to assemble hundreds of thousands of
eagar spectators in front of .the eastern portico
of thc Capitol, and dismiss them thus abruptly.
I'lio insido track is, therefore, indispensable,
where the President elect may, as succinctly
as hu chooses, announce his linc of merell,
and ler.vo elucidation und embellishment to
ilurcus Schuyler Brutus Colfax, wno ia really an
orator of nature's own making.
THU POSITION OF THE SOUTH.
A Plain and Forcible Statement of thc
Financial Advantages of thc Southern
States.
Tho Washington correspondent of thc New
fork Express writes:
Letters from tho West state that thc strin?
gency in commercial circles there is greater
than it has boon since 1857-that tho country
is over-stocked with goods, and thatch j farm?
ers refuse to send their grain to market in con?
sequence of the d?chue in prices since 1807.
At the South the aspect is more cheerful.
Tho high price of cotton will put $250,000 000,
for that product alone, into the pockets ot tho
"reconstructed" of that section, to say nothing i
of largo amounts for tobacco in Virginia, North i
Carolina, Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky,
and for wheat and corn in the same States
and in Georgia and Tennessee Tho whole
value of the surplus crops of the South this
year cannot be less than $300 003,000, of which :
probably $100.000,000 are paid to tho negroes '
m -too snape of wages, .iud $5U,0u0,0CO mure in
the shape of food.
Another year of equal prosperity would pat I
thc South in a comparatively sound condition, i
although, of course, there arc and must be for <
many years numerous cases cf individual suf?
fering-as ot persons in advanced life, totally <
ruined by the war, their houses and furniture '
destroyed, and all their investments of money '
completely worthless. Wbon wo consider that 1
tho accumulated savings of two hundred i
years have been destroyed at the South, we '
cannot ecase to wonder that her recuperation ]
should be as rapid as it is. i
Of the immenso importai ion of foreign
goods, cloths, silks, velvets, laces, jewelry, i
wines and other costly merchandise, the South '
uow lakes comparatively little. Her consump?
tion is mainly confined to tho necessaries of !
life, and will* bo for some years. Honco her I
recovery from torsos will be more rapid. The <
Southern people, with few exceptions, never I
were a luxarious people, in the sonso that the '
New Yorkers and Parisians are. They ch?r?
it bed for tho most patt Ibo homely virtuos of i
their aucostors, and lived well "upon tho pro?
duce ot their fields, their forests and their 1
rivers-"onient with roomy homes, wood-fires
and old-fashioned furniture Hence, in their
present depressed condition, they are more
contented thin a straugcr would suppose it i
possible for them to be. Wo hear of few sui- |
cides there, and tho number ot insane persons J
in Virginia is only half tho number ia alaine, i
regard being had to population. i
In its best days there was vory lUtlo money 1
in circulation in thc* .South. Now there is still i
less. In thu commercial panic which seems to
be approaching, the South will therefore suffer
loss than the North from any contraction of i
the currency that may precedo the icatoraiion :
to prosperity. In tho south lhere are no real
ostato speculations, oven in the environs ?if : he i
cities; no artificial values given to town-lots ut 1
embryo Palmyra* or Babylons. Fvs!i.ta ?cute '
is eminently tuc rulo Ibero, so far as real ostato i
is concerned. They arc not a gregarious peo- 1
plc, but love elbow-;oom above everything.
Uitics they regard as necessary evils, and as i
such not to be encouraged unduly beyond mod- 1
:-rato dimensions. For thc greater thc city the
greater thc evil. 1
lt is very evident that busiuess at thc North i
is overdone; that there are to? many non- i
producers there, too many merchants, too i
oiauy traders, too many agents, too many law- I
yers, too many doccois, too many persons, in
short, who stand merely as iutormediarios be
Lweeu tho producer an J thc consumer. One of 1
the Now York journals estim?tes thal there aro <
two hundred thousand peoplo out of work |
within sight of the spire of Trinity Church, i
Within an equal distauce of the State House at i
Boston lhere tue doubtless fifty thousand more,
ind another tilly thousand in thc interior of i
New Euglaud. Most of theso unfortunate l
persons are anxious* tor employment, but cannot I
obtain it. Even the high tariff, which so cn- ?
riches thu great manufacturers, docs uof put a ]
norsel of bread or an ounce of meat into their I
liouths.
What visible outlet to all this surplus labor :
is afforded, unless at thc South? Thc West, i
i'or the present, is pretty well filled up with la- i
borers of all descriptions, and thousands the e i
ire out ol'work. Tho South, then, is tac only
vacant field easily accessible on this continent i
for thc unemployed masses ot tho North.
Dur Ku i I road-An Infamous Proposition
A writer in the CHAELESTO ? NEWS, over thc
.igniture ol Tax-payer, under a hypocritical
pretence, (as it seems to us,) of promoting thc
interest of thc State, urges thc compulsory
?a!t of several railroads, among them the
Grreenrille ai d Columbia Road. Hie latter
road under good management is now doing
remarkably well, and has comm on ced to pay
off inte est on the Stale guaranteed bonds. i.'et
this writer would loree it salo to damage a I rgO
mun ber of bondholders-millions lu thc ag?
gregate-fur no other parp?se, we verily believe,
than that of plundering the unfortunate and
lo enable some designing and heartless capi?
talists and speculators to seize tho road for
their own miserly purposes ol greed. It is
very probable if the Greenville road was forced
to sale, that thc Town of Greenville would actu?
ally be deprived of it altogether, as the purely
selfish spirits who wouid be active in forcing
the sacrifice might conclude it would bo a
saving of a few dollars, to shorten Ibo road, no
telling how much. We are satisfied that there
are some men, and capitalists too, so utterly
selfish that they would, to iidd ono bundera
dollars to their tens of thousands of income,
shorten the road dowe to Frog Level. Tho
writer in thc NEWS appeals to thc Legislature
to aid his-schemes by suitable acts. We do
not believe that the Legislature, if it has thc
power, is inclined to respond to such a vile
proposition, endangering heavy loss io thc
Stale itself, aid smashing ruin io many citizens,
totally uncalled tot.-Greenville Enterprise.
TUE TROUBLES BELOW SAVANNAH.
The Negroes on the Ggeechec Reinforced
and Compelling thc Quietly Disposed
to join Them-Thc Latest News from
thc S cene of the Trouble.
Tho extraordmaiy condition of affairs on tho
Ogeechee plantations, below Savannah, con?
tinues not only without abatement, but with
au excess of lawlessness and outrage that
promises to make what is ah cady serious most
alarming. The measures adopted for thc sup?
pressing of tho outbreak seem, eo far, to have
moot- sigually failed. In the meantime, the
inhabitants, n.en, women and children, have
all been driven fi om their homos, their houses
gutted or delivered to tho Hines, and thc re?
sults of tho entire year's lalor and capital of
one of the wealthiest districts of tho South
cither destroyed or appropriated by thc insur?
rectionists. Tho following resume of th i facts
of tho caso, from the Sivanuah Republican,
gives a clear idea of thc origiu and character
of the trouble :
Disturbances of a more or less flagrant char?
acter have existed in tho settlement for several
months past, and for more than a year tho ne?
groes, who have been permittod to hire valu?
able plantations and live upon them with little,
or no work, *iavo been organizing and prepar?
ing for some kind of unfriendly demonstration.
Rut thc beginning of tho present doubles may
bc said to be tho appearance, a week or ton
days ago, of an armed band at one of tho neigh?
boring pl -mations, the tiring upon thc senti?
nels, the driving off of the residents, and the
forcible removal of tho crop, consisting of some
twenty-fivo hundred bushels of rice. A num?
ber of these despcrodoos could be identified,
and upon information filed, warrants were duly
issued and placed in thc hands of the sheriff o"f
ino county for their arrest. The sheriff, with
a small posse and a guide or two, visited the '
plantations and arrested a small party and
marched them to No. 1 Atlantic and Gulf Rail?
road for tho purpose of taking the tram and
bringing his prisoners to tho city. They wero
not long at the placo before several hundred
armed negroes appeared, rescued the prison?
ers, and with muskets pointed at the officers of
tho law, took away their arms, money, pa?
pers, Sic, ?fcc, and with a threat against
thoir Uves if they ever returned, order?
ed them to leavo on foot. Every manner
of indignity, except personal violence, was
oflercd the sheriff and his party. They were
told that no legal processes should besctved
in their neighborhood, that they had posses?
sion of the country and a government of tDeir
own, nnd no white man or officer of the State
should molest them with impunity. Thc or?
ganization, it is said, nu mb sra from eight hun?
dred toa thousand-perhaps even greater
and all aro thoroughly armed and provided
with ammunition. Thoy have officers of every
grade, and means of intercommunication that
are almost equal to the facilities ot a regular
signal corps. Thc original attack on thc plan?
tation and carrying off the crop was a small
affair, and has become merged in a gene?
ral outbreak and thc appearance of hundreds
ot armed negroes in tho field ready for action.
The outbreak is of a magnitude which the
law never contemplated should be subdued by
a sheriff and his posse, or any other civil
means, and our constitution empowers tho
Governor to call ont thc militia in order to
suppress them. Private citizens, unorganized
and poorly armed, can uovcr effect the object
excoDl at a serious sacrifice. But the F?deral
Government has deprived us of tho militia,
and upon tho rogular army now rests tho duty
of our protection, whatever General Moade 01
others may think of it.
THE LATEST REPOSTS.
From thc Savannah papers of yesterday,
which reached us last night, wc gleau tho fol?
lowing details ot the latest aspects of thc dis?
turbance: -?*
The latest news which wo have from tho
?ceiic of the trouble represonts it as spreading,
ind that the negroes, hy threats and intimi?
dations, aro forcing t hose who are disposed to
remain peaceable 'o join thom. So far their
operations aro confined to the "neck," wesc of
the railroad, and between thc two Ogeechee
Rivers; but if not speedily checked it is toared
that it will extend into Bryan County. The
negroes, in strong force and thoroughly armed,
nrere lying near the railroad, watching tho
movements of and prepared to resist tho Sher?
iff's posse which went down on Weduesday.
When tho train move! off, he says, somo six or
seven hundred negroes came outon the railroad,
in 1 tho leaders went about cursing and savin? :
"Thc whito-were afraid to como
md attack us, and have gone back for more
men/' He says thal th ero is a very large force
of thc negroes at No. 1, and that they arc de?
termined to resist any attempt to arrest thom.
The negroes from the Augusta road were cross?
ing to tlie Ogcocheo in largo namban yester?
day and joining tho insurrectionary bonds.
? countryman from Liberty County arrived
here yesterday with produce to sell." Ho re?
ports that the negroes have destroyed the
bridge over tho Little Ogecchee River, four
miles this side of Chapman's house. He was
stopped by five different picket parties, each
?ang numbering eight orton mon. They toid
him to toll the whito min of Savannah to come
ou, that they wero ready for them. After
questioning this man, they finally allowed
him 11 come on to tho .:ity, telling him not to

On Wednesday, the rioters took John Hogan
(colored), ono of Mr. Middleton's watchmen,
and the man who gave shelter to O'Donald

being driven in thc direction of the railroad
track, at tho point of tho bayonet, by a gang
of tho negroes. Nothing has beeu heard of
him since, and it was not known whether ho
was murdered or driven off. '1 ho negroes have
sacked the barns and mills pud carried off the
rice. It appears that they have been urged to
their present cotirso of action bv parties who
have mado them bolievc that they had been
assured by Radical negroes in Washington that
if the negroes once captured and held thc
xmnlry, they would be confirmed in posses?
sion ot it.
Mrs. Caulker and her family, who resido on
the Ogeechco, arrived in toe city yesterday,
having been dtivon from their home, without a
ohange of clothing, by an armed gang of ne?
groes. They completely sacked ihe premises,
lad tho family are now here in a destitute con?
dition.
A gentleman who resides at Station 1? arrlv
sd m tho city by tho evening train, who iu
lorms us that at no limo during the day was
there more than thirty negroes a; that station,
und that not one of these was armed. He re?
ports that tho negroes in Bryan Comity have
tims far behaved exceedingly well, aud that
when ho left all was quiet on that side of the
river. Thc indications of troublo, however,were
of such a character as to induce him to remove
tho ladies ot his family to ttiis city. It was
evident that the class of negroes who have
been tampered with and brought under the in
[luence of tho organizers ot what nre called
thc loyal leagues were passing over the river,
with arms in their hands, to join ihe robbers
residing on this side of. thc river, and that yes?
terday, the only while man left on the planta
Lions'under tlie control and management of
Messrs. Middleton and Tucker was driven
from Ihe Prairie plantation aud arrived in
Bryan County without his shoes. Ho reported
that : arge number of armed negroes made
?heir appearance there with wagons and carts,
tor tho purpose ot carrying away thc rice, and
that ho was couip3lled io leave ti? save his lifo.
Thus it would appear that thc hst bushel of
rice has been stolen from theso enterprising
and extrusive planters.
All thc fiefs which have como to our knowl?
edge go lo provo that tho negroes aro using
every means in their power to concentrate a
strong foi ce in tho \iciuity of the plantations
occ ipied by alssers. Middleton and fucker, tor
Ihopurposo of resisting the execution of the
laxvs and enabling themselves to live by plun?
dering thc plantations of those who arc en?
deavoring lo live by honest labor.
WADE HAMPTON AND TUE SOUTH CAHOLINA
RAILIIOAD.-The Republican of Saturday says :
'*A persistent effort is being made by the ar?
dent friends of Wade Hampton to supplant Mr.
Magrath, the President ol the South Carolina
Railroad, and elect the "idol" in his place.
His friends aro determined to honor him and
re ward him for doing bravery whi.e they deem
to havo been his duty. We do not object to
their partiality. Ur. Hampton bas many ad?
mirable qualities which endear him to friends.
He was something of a soldier and naturally
beloved of the devotees of thc ' 'lost cause.'"
Wo clo not rind fault with this. Wo ara told,
however, that Mr. Hampton possesses no bus i
ness qualifications at all, and wo believo it. Ho
will wm no honor as President of that road.
Ho will moro likely achieve disgrace by putting
tho road in two years in the hands of a receiver.
Let the admirers of the popular General take
some saler and better method of .lemonstrat
iuc: their regard. However, until the South
Carolina Railroad better subserves tho inter?
ests of our business men, and of all our people,
we prefer that it should not prosper."
Pi OM SELMA TO LIYEMOOL.-Wo were glad
to note on Monday, the presence of a live Liv?
erpool buyer in this market, and to learn that
ho was pleased with the quality of cotton com?
ing in. He bought several "hundred balos,
which are to go direct to Liverpool.
