L?< ? o* l.i tr.,kn n^> notion on the subject until wirer no shall receive official noti? fication of his eleetion, which notification can? not reach him for about a month from this date. There is the same authority for saying ' that General Grant has not intimated an opin- ' ion as to what course should be taken by the I Senate relative to nominations made by Mr. < Johnson, nor what offices should be left in j abeyance until after tho fourth of March. ( -Commodore Vanderbilt says that the secret. of his Buocess in managing railroads is econo? my. He says : "If 1 cannot use the capital of 1 that road (New York Central) tor pretty nigh 1 $2,000,000 better than any one that ha? ever i been in it, then I do not want to ba on the ; road. If you have been running a road, -and you spend nine or ten millions to run it, - if I cannot do it for eight, and do ic as well, I am ready to go from the road. That has been my principle with steamships. I never had ' any advantage of anybody in running steam- J ?hips; but if I could not run a steamship i alongside of another man, and do it ae well as t ho, for twenty per cent, less than it cost him, I , would leave the ship." , -An attempt was made the other day in the House to secure pay for the m ambers from the ' reconstructed States for the fall term of the 1 Fortieth Congress. The resolution, as drawn, t included only the Arkansas members, bat was < equally applicable to all the rest. It recited j the precedents of the Louisiana and Tennessee , members in the Thirty-seventh Congress, when both States were also represented in the Con? federate Congress, and the case of the Tannes- 1 see members in the Thirty-ninth Congress, < who were admitted during the second year of ' the term, but received pay tor the fall term. < After numerous motions, the House evaded responsibility of a direct vote by referring it to the Reconstruction Committee, though no? body could see what they have to do with it. -The latest end most horrible form of sui- ! olde is that chosen by a young girl in Danby, , 111., about twenty-five miles from Chioago, last Thursday evening. She threw herself un? der a railroad train, which passed over her, ?overing her head from the body, and throw? ing it several feet away, and also cutting off one ot her feet and crushing one arm. The OCUoO of the terrible ac b is said to be the re? fusal of tho parents to allow the poor girl to marry a young man to whom she was attached. A letter was round in the pocket of her dress directed to her lover, bidding him an affec? tionate good-bye. The suicide waa commit? ted after dark, aud the girl apparently threw herself under the oars instead of before the engine. -New York has a number of "velocipede" schools. Each school has three classes-one for beginners, one for those who can ride without tumbling every few miuules, and one for those who are nearly ready to make their debut in the street. These school? are well patronised, and the managers are making money. When the roads harden after the spring thaws, tho velo3ipedostrians will infest ?very highway and byway. Already we hear of some clerks and merchants making their way down town in the morning on velocipedes, and by next May we shall meet them coming in from the country in the same fashion. At least ten thousand who do business in New f;' York live in the suburbs; and it costs them from fifty to two hundred dollars a year to ?ome in and go out during the summer. They can save money by buying velocipedes, which cost from $65 to $150 each, and will soon be ?beaper, learning to ride them, and then travel? ling on their own steeds. Tho number of velocipedes now in nae in New York is about \, \ two hundred ?nd fifty, and in a few months it Wi 1 probably be increased to two thousand. a T .ne demand for them ia so groat that the man? ufacturera have moro orderten hand than they can fill in two months. -An eating match against time ie the latest novelty in the New York sporting world, which, judging from it? description in tho Tribune, must have boen a most disgusting exhibition. Two weeks agc, a bet of $50 was made that a certain notorious gourmand would eat three dozen hard boiled eggs, without drink of any kind, within tho space of thirty-six minutes. The match oame off Satuiday. Tho first 17 eggs were bolted whole in lit minutes. The eighteenth stuck fast in the throat ; the ope? rator gulped painfully, but the obstruction would not stir. Tho sufferer seized tho iron handle of the saucepan whioh contained the, ' boiled eggs, and was about to inject thc ob? struction when tho opposite party called "foul." Tho umpire, with extraordinary judicial perspicacity, rendered his decision-that the operator might inject or eject at pleasure by mechanical aid, but tho eggs so inject?e! or ejected would not oount. Ho wont on to give his reasons, and got to the "thirdly," when the suffocating wretch, now purple in the face as the Rills of a malo turkey, eyes distended outside their sockets, broathing stentoriously, bolted [the recalcitrant egg with the handle of the saucepan. Seventeen regular eggs and a blank in sixteen and three-quarter minutes. The eater sank into a chair entirely exhausted, with stomach in a volcanic state. After two minutes rest, three more eggs were bolted in manifest pain, eyes running water, and the whole frame twitching spasmodically. Twenty four eggs in twenty-five minutes, and tho ope? rator throws up the sponge and is tokn away' by his backers. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, .liANUAUY 29, 1869. The President of the South Carolina Railroad Company. We publish this morning a preamble and resolutions adopted at the last quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company, in whioh is expressed the high opinion entertained by the board of the serviced rendered to the company by its President, Mr. W. J. Ma? grath. The terms of the resolutions explain the general nature of the work which Mr. Magrath has performed, but to the words of the directors, who know better than the pub? lic can know what were the difficulties to surmount and the opposition ts overoome, we may add the expression of our own con? viction that Mr. Magrath has net only re? trieved the fallen fortunes of the South Car? olina Railroad Company, but has also been instrumental in the promotion and advance? ment of every commercial and business in? terest of this city and State. The South Carolina Railroad Company, whioh at the close of the war was in a bank? rupt oondition, is now financially strong, and in H fair way of relieving itself of the burden of indebtedness which has pressed 60 heavily upon the attention of its manage? ment. 'J'he road itseli h ts r-!?en rebuilt, the ravages of war hive teen repaired, and ?here is not now in the whole Southern Stages u railroad more thoroughly equipped, iv?l i '. (er prepared to meet the exigencies of a grow- j ^l^-ffas^c believe, beea virtual!} ex Ur- J gtiiuhed, the reconstruction account ie closed, | and tho prospect, is bright thatihe road will soon become actively and ?>ariiiaut?n?ly pro? fitable. And every step which has been taken has been of benefit to the city and State, as well as to the company. The South Carolina Railroad has met foreign opposi? tion with taot and vigor; it has oarried the war of trade into the country of the enemy; it has been generous in its outlay of money to draw business over its road to tho seaport i of South Carolina; it has oarried the sign of < the Palmetto to the banks of the Mississippi, ? and his made Charleston the port of entry : and shipment for the freights of Mobile, < New Orleans and Vicksburg, as well as Memphis, St. Louis and the whole mighty i West. And, in behalf ef the State at large, the South Carolina Railroad has fought, without fear or favor, against every project < for carrying trade away from the State, be- t ng animated, not by petty rivalry, but by he feeling that we must work for South i karolina as Georgia works for Georgia, and Virginia works for Virginia, it we would lave our State as prosperous, aa honora- 1 alo, as rioh, as free from reproach. We ilready feel the effeota of the broad and jomprehensive polioy whioh has inspired die management of the South Carolina Rail? road Company; we begin to understand iow much has been done in the face of jeer ind reproach, and now say, in tho words of me of the resolutions before as, that we , 'regard this improvement as due chiefly to "the able administration of the President "of the South Carolina Railroad Company, "Mr. William J. Migrath." Mr. Magrath himself has doubtless been sustained, through the.trials and labors of years, by the consciousness of his own puri? ty of purpose, and the confident belief that time, whioh setteth all things aright, would be at last his surest vindication. Time and events have justified his policy, and ho ia now spoken of by his beard in a manner whioh is as generous as it is just, as compli? mentary aa it is well deserved. At the regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Rail? road Company, held in the City of Charleston, on the evening of the 20th instant, L. D, DeSaussure, Esq., presiding, as ohoirman pro tem.? the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted, and ordered to be engrossed as a port of the minutes of the meeting : Whereat, At the termination of the late war the property of this company was in a rainons condi tion, i t a treasury was em pty sad Its finances disordered; and, whereas, the Board of Direc? tors will now have tho satisfaction of submit? ting to the stockholders, at tbs approaching annual convention, an account of then* property highly satisfactory as to its present condition, and equally promising in respect of its futuro prospects, Resolved, unanimous'}/, That the B mrd re? gard this improvement as due chiefly to the ' able administration of the President, Hr. Wil? liam J. Masrath. Resolved, unanimously. That they take pleas? ure in expressing their tense of his seolou? do votion'to the interests of thia company during ?ho long period of twenty-three years in whioh hs has been in its service, and of the eminent ability and success with whioh he has adminis? tered it? affairs since he was elevated to the honorable position of President. HE CHARLESTON DAI] Portents. Our European oousins aro accustomed to dread tho wink of King William or the soeete of Emperor Louis, as ominous por? tents of the iz&niediate avenging of "Le Vatcrloo," or the coming of a continental war. But they may be a little surprised to find that in this Republican country every word of General Grant is listined to as anxiously as though the President eleot the likeness of a kingly orown had on, and were the master absolute of half a million* of sol? diers. We admit that this hero-worship is some? what strange en the part of a people who do not allow their ambassadors to wear knee-breeohes, and who sturdily proclaim I their reverence for simple Benjamin Frank? lin. And yet we have a good excuse, a bravo excuse, why wo now act as though the fate of those United States depended on the will of one man alone. We have been ia an unsettled oondition for about eight years, during the greater part of which the life of thousands .hung on the orook of a finger, and their liberties on the tinkling of a bell. We beoame accus? tomed te see the supreme law of the land torn and patched to suit the exigencies of the times. For a while a President was supreme, then a Minister was master, then Congress beoame lord of all, so that in our desire to forget that the government of the country had been entrusted to three co-or? dinate powers, and measured our ohanoes for the future by what was said or done by the demi-god of the day. And it, ia just this feeling that causes us to count the wreaths of smoke whioh surround the head of the .* Coming Man," to see tribulation in a frown, joy in a smile, and the fruition of all our hopes in a mono? syllabic speech. We have grown accustom? ed to being well shaken before taken, and pin our faith to General Grant for the very good reason that wo might go further and faro much worse. But this will not endure in this shape forever and a day. There will be a change before long, and either the Union will be? come the Union of old, or the shadow of Republican institutions will be sent to keep company with the substance whioh some time since departed. In the meanwhile, Democrats and Repub? licans ?Ul keep a close eye upon the Presi? dent elect, and interpret all that he does not say as a promise of better days to come. They will watch every word of the favorite of fortune, and, like good Republicans, con? tinue to worship the powers that be, no matter what some folks say. The 9fagazln.es.
