That coat is almost of age. -The most notable instance of sang froid that we.have read of lately was the message Bent the other day to T mitchell,the condemned Philadelphia murderer, by his wifo. This cheerful dame who, as our readers will remem? ber, was acquitted, on the seor? of a doubt in the minds of the jury, of the crime for which her husband now lies under sentence of death, recently remarked to a clergyman who was about to visit the condemned : "By the way, - when you bee George (her husband) please ask him where be would like to be buried after he is hanged." -Washington correspondents say that on official announcement has beau made that the presence of postmasters in Washington will be ' ?onsidered as a proof that they are neglecting their duties by being absent from their places, and that new men will be appointed to fill them. A special exception is made in the case of the postmaster at Covington, Kentucky, the father of the President, who draws an annual salary of $3500, and who has been present in the Senate for several days, patiently listening to the Rad? ical defiances burled athis son. -Persons wbo may be thinking of emigra? ting to the White Pine region on account of the glowing descriptions of the enormous yield of siver from the mines, would do well first to study the following statement by a San Francisco paper, of the prices which are paid in the Whito District for staple articles: Lum? ber, from $250 to $300 per thousand ; hay, $300 per ton; barley, fifteen cents per pound; flour, $16 per cwt.; bacon, forty-five cents; salt pork, forty cents; beans, twenty-eight cents; sugar, thirty-five cents; coffee, seventy ce its; tea, $1 59 per pound; butter, $l;?heese, forty cents; noe, thirty-eight cents; fresh meats, from twenty-two to forty cent?. . -It is, understood the administration has determined to surrender the warrants of par? don issued by Mr. Johnson, and recalled by President Grant, only in cases where the par? don is unconditional. IQ caeos where the pardon was granted upon performance of cer? tain stipulations or conditions., the recalled pardons are to be retained, and the prisoners for whom they were issued are to be held in custody as though no pardon had been issued from President Johnson. The theory is that where the pardon is unconditional it is be? yond tl e control of the Executive after it has passed from his banda in such case, the mere _ -petition of the party seeking Executive clem ol ency being construed as an acceptance of the pardon; but where the pardon ie dependent upon a oompb'anco with certain conditions, an absolute acceptance of the terms of those con? ditions is, on the part of the prisoner, deemed . necessary t:> give effect to the pardon. 5 -The New Orleans Times thus refers to a ^painful misfortune which has befallen one of the most gifted sons of louisiana: "Yesterday ' a petition was presented to Judge Duvlgneand by Messrs. Charvet and Duplantier, praying that Pierre Sordo be interdicted and tbat a curator be appointed to take charge of his affairs. The petition alleges his permanent and complete prostration and incapacity. This distressing misfortune has long been known in the community. From delicacy to bis esteem? ed family, it has not been regarded as proper to be referred to in the public prints. This reason can no longer suppress the expression of our profound sorrow and sympathy for the -distinguished gentleman and his afflicted fami? ly. The unhappy condition ti uir. Soule has been produced by family sorrows of the most distressing charaoter. His only son some time ago manifested symptoms of mental aber? ration. These have become permanent, and now both father and son domand the incessant care of devoted relatives aud friends." -Mr. Fiak is fighting bard for the possession of Commodore Vanderbilt's title-"Thc Great Railway King." He now asks the New York Legislator) for a law authorizing the Erio Railway Company to consolidate with all tho roads it bas bought or leased, extending from New York to Chicago and Cincinnati, including "the property of the Long Dock Company, the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad, the Pat? erson and Ramapo Railroad, the Paterson and Newark Railroad, and tho Northern Railroad in tho State of New Jorsoy, tho New York and Newburg Railroad, tho Buffalo, New York and Erie Railroad, ibo Rochester and Qenessee Valley Railroad, and the Chemung Railroad in the State of New York ; tho Hawley Branch Railroad, the Jefferson Railroad in Buffalo, Biadford and- Pittsburg Railroad in the State of Pennsylvania, thc Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, extending from Sala? manca, in the State of Now York, through the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, to Cleveland and Dayton in the last Damed State; thc Cin? cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, thc Day? ton and Michigan Railroad, in the State of Ohio, aDdn contemplated line of railroad be? tween West Salem and Toledo, also in ibo State of Ohio, and thence lo Chicago, in the State of Illinois." The New York papers are mnch incensed at this proposal, and oppose it tothebest of their ability. "Itsresult,"say they, "will bo to maka Mr. Fisk dictator and drive away business that would otherwise cluster around the naiural centre of the trade, commerce and finances of the country." -From a recent article in the Columbus, Ga., San, we learn that that city is making rapid strides in cotton manufacturing, and bids fair to be the Lowell of the South in this respect. In tb o last six months over $600,000 ot additional stock has been subscribed to manu? factories, and a? least two-thirds of that amount paid in. Six weeks ago the Eagle and PbceDix Company advertised for $450,000 worth of stock to build another mill of equal capacity with the pressnt one. As we have stated, con? sid?r?t: y over that amount has been obtained, and many thousands of dollars-enough to build anothei small factory-refused. The Muscogeo Company have raised $120,000, all they wanted, in the same time, and the Columbus* Factory all it desired, somo $40,000. For some time past tho Eagle and Pheonix, tbe Columbus and the steam facto? ries havo been running 13.000 spindles and many looms. The Muscogee Company have a large brick building already completed, and will have4000 spindles in it by next fall-all at work. The additional mill of tho Eagle and Pheonix Company will bo in operation in less than a year. Thus, by next winter, 19,000 spindles will be running in Columbus, consu? ming, OD an average, twenty bales of cotton per day; and, besides cotton, a large variety of woollen goods will be manufactured. By next summer, at least 28,000 spindles will be iu ope? ration. The people there are taking hold o' matters in earnest, and are not waiting l'or the action of Northern capitalists. All the money needed can be obtained in that section. CHARLESTON. WEBKSSDA? HOBBING, MARCH 24, 1869. Risen from Commercial Reatta 1 Charleston is now. feeling the healthy in? fluence of the profitable cotton crop of the year, which gare the producer the means of paying off a load of old debts and left him with some money in hand for the pur-: chase of the comforts as well as the neces? saries of life. As well as can be learned from merchants, jobbers and railroad men, the spring busi? ness is the best that has been known since the olose of the war. The stores and ware? houses are lively with customers, the rail? road depots are Siled with freight, the whole city is bright and gay. Nor are the strange faces which are Been in the streets the least pleasing sign of the pro? gress we have made. We have won back this year customers from Georgia, from Florida and from North Carolina, whom we had lost, and the old current of trade is beginning to flow into the accustomed chan? nels. And to the bustling business men may he added the hundreds ef tourists from* the North and,from Europe, who are spend? ing a few quiet days in Charleston. The hotels, are so full that travellers have been refused quarters, and have had to shift for themselves in private houses. One hundred and fifty persons registered their names on Saturday for a steamboat trip to Fort Sumter, Sullivan's Island and the Morris Island batteries. On every side there are signs of new life, signs that the day of awakening has oome, signs that the good old city is at last assuming her ancient rank as the principal seaport on the South? ern Atlantic coast. We made haste slowly, and at limes it seemed that the reaotion would never come. But we are stronger and wiser, and, we hope, more progressive, because of the very waiting and hoping which it has been so hard to bear. We must have learned to adapt our commercial selves to changing conditions and altered times. We must have learned that in these, days men who desire business [ must ight for it and win it. We should have learned that Charleston cannot be kept down, cannot be crushed, cannot be killed; that we have nothing to fear in the long run from spasmodic competition, and that we have it in our power* to make Charleston, within ten years, the port of import and export for the whole Southwest and the Pacific coast-a grand metropoli? tan city, as far superior to the Charleston of to-day as this present Charleston is su? perior to the Charleston of one hundred years ago. And we shall retain our old nobility of spirit, our old purity of thought, our old fidelity to the plighted word; for to us-though it may seem old-fashioned to say so-the money and the lands, the crowded wharves and the lofty warehouses, would be dearly bought* at the price of the integrity of our people. A Distinction Witta a Difference. During the debate on the resolution to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in Lau? rens, Abbeville, Edgefield and Newberry, now indefinitely postponed, DeLarge, one of the colored representatives from Charleston, "warned the members that they were tread? ing on dangerous ground and advised "them to ponder well before they gave their "vote in favor of a measure that struck at "the dearest liberties of the people. If it "is true"-he said-"as alleged, that in the "counties referred to, parties committing '.crimes are allowed to escape without the "merited punishment, it is the fault of the "judges, and they should be impeached." On the other han J, Whipper, a Michigan-born negro representative, said "he favored the "rsBolulion. Only a few days ngo n mein "ber of the constabulary force waa mur? dered in Edgefield County, and when the "murderer was arrested and brought to "Columbia a writ of habeas corpus was asked "for, and thanks be to the sheriff he re "fused to obey the writ, well knowing, as "he did, that justice would not be dono in "the case. He knew, however, that action "would be brought against the sheriff, and "he would be fined; but he (Whipper) would "be willing at the next session to relieve "him of the penalty. He said it was nec? essary and right that the writ should be "suspended in the localities named." This we can understand. A "legislator" who thanks a sheriff for refusing to obey a writ of habeas corpus would naturally de? sire to tear from tho whito man every shadow of civil protection. And this negro Whipper, who openly applauds a violation of the law of the State, and of the Consti? tution of the State, is elected by the Gene? ral Assembly TO coniFr THE LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. A PROCLAMATION has been issued by Governor Scott, directing all needful mec sures to be taken to carry into effect the recent act of the General Assembly, for the removal of the county seat of Barnwell County from Barnwell to the Town of Blackville. Pacific Kallroads. The report of the majority of the Senate Committee on Pacific Railroad?, made on February 19tb, 1869, is au exhaustive argu? ment in favor of two additional trunk rail? road? to the Pacifio-one from Lake Supe? rior to Puget's Sound; the other from Little Rock, in Arkansas, and from the terminus of the Kansas Pacific railway in Ka ne as, by the route of the thirty-fifth parallel, to San Diego aud San Francisco. The report declares affirmatively that the bill reported by the majority of the committee was in? tended to be the finality of legislation in aid of Pacific railways; that after having provided substantially two additional trunk outlets-ene for the Northern States and one for the Southern States-at suitable initial points, it waB intended to stop there all Con? gressional aid, and leave to private enter? prise and State endowment the future con? struction of branches. The report shows at length and with a large array of statis? tics, derived from the experience of the inSuenoe of railways in England, France, Belgium, Holland and the United States, that they are the greatest of all modern agencies for the production of wealth and the devel? opment of trade aud commerce. It demon? strates that the import and export trade of ] the principal countries in Europe are in precise proportion to the development of j their railway systems, respectively; that the experience of Belgium, France, Austria, Spain and Italy shows that a tax on rail? way receipts is the beat Binking fund thus far devised for the speedy payment of na? tional debts. It also shows that two addi? tional trunk railways to the Pacific are com? mercially necessary, demonstrating that a single line cannot do the work that will be thrown upen it; that additional lines, free from obstruction by snow, are needed to maintain uninterrupted intercourse; to pre? vent the evils of a monopoly; to avoid po? litical discontent in the Northern and South? ern sections of the Union; to bring the publio domain into market; to increase im? migration from Europe; to quadruple our yield of gold and silver; to save two-thirds of the cost of wagoning supplies to the 109 military posts in the Indian country, which now amounts to about seventeen millions a year; to reduce by one-half the number of troops maintained in the Territories by the greater mobility the roads will give the remainder, and to practically end Indian wars, whioh the report shows ooat the coun? try during the last campaign about one mil? lion dollars a week. The majority of the oommittee urgently recommend aid to the roads asp measure of immediate and last? ing economy to the government. The report proves that it is safe for the government to aid them, without reference to the inciden? tal advantages of doing so, by showing from the accounts of the Quartermaster's Depart? ment with the Kansas Pacifio Railroad that upon an average use of 220 miles of the road its earnings for work done for the gov? ernment not only paid tho interest on the bonds advanced to the road and provided the Binking fund to redeem them, but brought the government in debt to the road. The report opposes grants hereafter of government aid like that given to the Union Pacifio and Cen? tral Pacific, in bonds directly issued, but advocates a guarantee of the interest of | the mortgage bonds of the two additional trunk Pacific roads, to be issued to a de? fined and limited extent. It declares that they are military, commercial and political necessities, and concludes with the aver? ment that the people demand their construc? tion, and do not, as -has been alleged, par? ticipate in, or sympathize with, the recently raised outcry against Pacifio Railway aid.
