CHARL E S T ON". MONDAY MORNING, MAt?CH 8, 18G9. Tho Ebb of the Tide. Now that President Grant is fairly ins gurated there should soon be some slacke ing of the painful and even servile attc tion which bas for months been paid to 1 every wiok aud smile. Since his nomic lion as President, General Grant has be blindly ^orshipr ed. The eyes of millio have watched each twist and turn, and ii a syllable has fallen from the lips of lt common-place demi-god but has been po dered and discussed as though it were very truth big with the fate of nations. In the South this m i lady has taken a ve: mild form. Here, at least, it is recognizi that General Grant is not the United State and that he does not represent the state manship, the intelligence or the polilic ability of the country. President Grant "an r. "ident" far more than Mr. Johnst ever was; and we know of nothing in h career as a public man, beginning with h treachery towards President Johnson ai his coquetting with truth for thc sake political preferment, which entitles him I be regarded as thc patriot who will chec the usurpations of Congress and guide h whole public life by the landmarks of tl constitution. There is nothing buttwadd in his inaugural address. There is nothic in the complexion of his Cabinet whic should give confiden?e to thc South. Tb ministers,-Washburse, Hoar, "troolyloil Creswell asd the rest,-may not make Prci idcut Grant moro arrogant than he woul be without them; neither vail they cans the President to use his influence on tu side of a liberal Southern policy. We believe that President Grant is now a the height of his popularity. Soon will h drop from the zenith like a falling, star. Th cliicc seeker, the politician, the farmer un? the mechanic will band together agaias him; for whatever of renown ho may g tit by his efforts to make the government hoa esl he will lose by his dictatorial tempe: and the absence of any souled policy be youd the determination to carry out suet orders as Congress may chance to give him What, indeed, can be expected of a mai whose whole code of constitutional right ii found in the articles of war? We wanted e statesman, and fate gave us a soldier. The South,-while the trouble is brewing, as brew it will,-must watch and bc silent bearing it always in mind that we havt nothing to expect from General Giant, oi any other Republican President, eave what may be forced from thc weakness or neces? sities of the North by the strength and re? sources of the South. Charleston and the North Cajrollna Rail? roads. Our contemporary, the Wilmington Jour? nal, publishes a leading article in reply to an article of THE NEWS, founded upon the complaint made by the Superintendent of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad in his annual report, that his receipts for the year would have been considerably larger "but "for the want of harmonious co-operation ?on the part of the management of the ?South Carolina Railroad Company and "consequent imperfect connection with Co? lumbia, S. Cy and Augusta, Ga." The Journal contends that freight ?must be car ?ried through South Carolina without pass "ing through Charleston," takes occasion to condemn ?local jealousies aud interests ?engendered by an illiberal spirit on the "litrt of lines of transportation," and.says that the illiberality of the South Carolina Railroad is regarded as "ir-jurious to the "planters of South Carolina and Georgia ?and to the stockholders" of the South Carolina Railroad. The comments of the Journal arc plausi? ble enough; but, according to our in? formation, they grow out of a misappre? hension both of the policy of the South Carolina Railroad and of its duties towards its stockholders and the public. It is an obvious truth that it is to the in? terest of the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany to manage their road in such a man? ner as to give the greatest benefit to their stockholders; and it ?3 equally their duty to eperate their road, as far as it may be be done, in the interests of the State of South Carolina, rather than in tho interest of North Carolina or Virginia. Now, if the South Carolina Railroad Company ngree lo allow the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad to carry freight at ordinary through rates over their road, (his freight paying only for the number of milos of road over which it passes, Ihey by so doing cut off their stock? holders from thc benefit arisiDg, under other circumstances, from thc use of thc greater part of their line. In other words, freight coming via Wilmington to Columbia would pay the South Carolina Railroad for 25 milep, from Ringville to Columbia, while freight coming in via Charleston would pay j the South Carolina Railroad for ISO railes, from Charleston to Columbia. Is this rea? sonable, cr is it just ? We do not hesitate to eay that tho management of the South Carolina Railroad arc justifying i'ie cenfi deeco which their stockholders repose in them by using as much of their own line as possible, and by refusing to make Ring? ville instead of Charleston the terminus of their read. Nor does this policy in? terfere with the public interest; for thc South Carolina Railroad will always carry freight as cheaply and as quickly as it eau be carried by any other route. And indeed, what thc Journal seems to ex? pect is that the South Carolina Railroad shall give up the business which it has epent hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain, aud for which lines of steamships have been built, only in order that it might carry freight over twenty-five miles of its road, and in the iaieresl of what is under the circumstance--, neither more nor less than a compctiag line. The Journal also anys, that on account of the want of co-operation already referred to, General Mahons is delivering goods in Atlanta from Norfolk, by way of Lynchburg, cheaper than it is done by the way of Wil? mington. We say, iu reply, (hat this statement is more fanciful than real. General Mahons has a tariff of charges to and from Atlanta, but he does no business at that point, eave, perhaps, when on acoount of tho press of business it is impossible to ship freight by the natural channels. So little, indeed, has been done bj General Mahone at Atlanta, that he is not even regarded ap a competi? tor at that point. In as friendly a tone as that of our con? temporary, we would allude to what he is pleased to style an "illiberal spirit" on the part of the Seuth Carolina Railroad Com? pany, in refusing the unbusiness-like pro? posals of the Weldon Road. Tho natural route for thc transportation of produce is on the shortest line to the sea, where the home market should be found. The usual currents of morchandiBe to the consumers of the interior should flow back over the eame lines from this oommon market. Such was the course in the good times past, but since the war there has been a mania for sending produce to distant markets, even in mioiature^Jots, and country traders have likewise preferred a lengthy journoy to the North, at large expense, for their stocks of j goods. The breaking up by the war of the short lines of railroads to the sea and to home markets, and tho facility of transit over long lines to distant markets, gave this feeling an impetus, and the roads thus benefitted a taste of income from this un? expected source, which now they would perpetuate. It is an unnatural course of trade and must fail of permanent success and as it is the true policy of Savannah to use her splendid lines of road in her own iuterest, and of Wilmington to push her Western North Carolina connection for her own benefit, just as she now works thc Manchester road, to the very heart, of | South Carolina, and with almost positive prohibitions against Charleston; so thc South Carolina Road must seek its success in building up home markets on its main lines aud at its prinoipal terminal pointe, Charleston, Augusta, Columbia and Camden, with which markets, developed by time to be cities of population, centres of capital and trude, its future is too entirely ideuti. fled to be lost sight of, under the glittering generalities of temporarily inviting but unsubstantial proposals of business. We have endeavored to make clear our position in regard to tho complaints of thc North Carolina railroads, and hope that the Journal will be convinced in time that we are not altogether blinded by local jealou? sies, but are as anxious as the Journal can be that tho whole of the Southern people should work together for the benefit and advancement of the South. THE OLD ACT of Congress under which Mr. A. T. Stewart is ineligible, provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall not engage in trade or commerce under pain of | a fine, removal from office, and perpetual disqualification from holding office under the United States. Congress may make the aot inoperative in the speoial case of Mr. Stewart, but the law is a wise one, and we see no reason why it should be set aside. There are ecores of men in the oountry who are as upright as the "Dry Goods Prince" and who are far better qualified to direct our financial system. THE TELEGRAPH informs us that Presi? dent Grant, Mrs. Grant and one of the little Grants, on yesterday visited one of the Methodist churohes in Washington, during divine service, and finding no special prepa? ration made for him, quitted the edifice in high dudgeon. This was contemptible and snobbish enough, but not worse than the dis? gusting obsequiousness of the minister who, from the pulpit, apoligised for the short? coming, and promised that a space should bo reserved in future. WE PRINT this morning an article from thc Edgefield Advertiser upon the Congres? sional Port Royal Railroad bill. The bill may not be heard of again; but we shall watch for it. In the meanwhile, wo hope that the bill to build thc road at the expense of the State will be knocked on the head in thc State Senate. THE READER is requested to make thc fol? lowing corrections in the article published in TUE DAILY NEWS on Saturday, headed "Thc National Banks," and signed J. N. C. : "lu the tenth line of the Note, from the bottom, for "never" read "always." la the sixth paragraph from the top, for "coin" read "corn." IT SEEMS that C. P. Leslie, tho Barnwell senator, considers himself as good as ap pointed United States Mashal in the place of Mr. Epping, and proposes aB marshal to lak-2 Ihe census without any expense to the Stitle. Nash, a colored senator, thinks that Leal e is counting his chickens too soon. THE ?LL to change the county scat of Barnwell from thc present courthouse to Blackville has become a law. Bl ickvillu is ou thc Hue of the South Carolina Rail? road, about eighty miles from Charleatou The old courthouse is off the railroud and distant abcut twelve miles from Blackville. WE ARE glad to see that the House has adopted the minority report upon thc bill to establish a quarantine hospital or lazar? etto in thc harbor of Charleston. Money spent in keeping "Yellow Jack" out of the city is money well spent. TUE DILL to enable the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complete their road is now a law. We congratulate the public upon this happy event. THE JOINT RESOLUTION ratifying the Fif? teenth constitutional amendment passed tho House on Saturday, and was sent to the Senate. ?Dnnt5. WA M'KU.
