Tne Consolidation Business. ' This paper had actively- opposed the Bill ?to promote the consolidation of the Green- ; "Kile and Columbia Railroad- Company a,nd ??the Blue Ria^aSailrb^(^mpany,^better known as the Consolidation Bill. Our main Objections were that the Bill enables the Green villa Bing to obtain possession of the fqar million of Blue Ridge-bonds guaranteed T?y the State ; that it allows those Bonds' to be sold at any time and at any price ; that it ; .deprives the State of its lien upon both, roads, and, by permitting the Greenville road to coiisnme the bonds of the Blue Ridge road, mal:, the -completion of the last ?named line practically impossible. The Bill, how? ever, has become a law, aod? wo arejnvited to present to the public the reasons why the j measure was" supported by the L?gislature. This we will-cheerfully do : 1. The Consolidation Bill does not consol? idate the two roads, but merely authorizes their consolidation upon certain conditions. It is argued, therefore, that the stockholders of the two companies will see to it that J neither road is gobbled up by the other. While at this stage we. may remark that "the "stockholders" of the Greenville road are | the Greenville Moggin -whose straightfor- j ward integrity the people have very little confidence. They nil! doubtless take care Of their own interests ; but it is doubtful that they will haye much regard for the welfare of the Blue Ridge road. This last named - road is virtually controlled by Governor] Scott and Mayor Pillsbury, who represent the stock of the Company held by the city and State These officials' coo prevent the Greenville Biog from obtaining control or the Blue Bidge bonds, and we are informed that this is their determination. 2. The object of. the management of the Greenville road in asking to have the lien of the .State-postponed is, that the Second Mortgage bonds, now existing on the road, and in the hands of the company, may be? come First Mortgage bonds. With these bonds it is proposed to pay off a past-due debt, and to pay for the iron and equip? ments necessary for putting tho line in iirst? rafe condition. It is urged, moreover, that the Greenville road, wheu properly ironed and equipped, will not.only pay the interest on its bonded debt, but will have a surplus which can be used in paying the interest on the Blue Bidge bonds while that road is in process of construction. 3. The fact that the State had a statutory . lien upon -the Bjhe Kidge road ?3 said "to have been one of the difficulties' tn the way of ne? gotiating the Blue Bidge bonds. The mort? gage executed, and put on record, in the -'several States through which 'the road runs, was made to be a first mortgage on the prop? erty Of the company, while .the aot authoriz? ing the endorsement gave the State a first j lien. Bat the purchasers of the bonds de? sire that theirs shall be the drat claim on the property of the company. They cannot eu force their claim in the courts, as against the State in any event, bat, if the company foil, to pay, its merest, lire tandera-of ite bonds, freed from the State lien, could in- ; stitute proceedings against the corporation and so satisfy their demands.- In .the opin? ion of the friends of the Blue Bidge road* it was, therefore, absolutely uecesaory to post-1 pone the State lien. 4. As to jjae"change iu "the law of 18G8, which gives the Blue Bidge Company the privilege of negotiating ?heir bonds at the market price,-it is urged that tne provision in the act of 1868 requiring "$3,000,000 of the bonds lo be sold ut .par was a permanent bar against the negotiation of the bonds upon their merits. The law niigbt, however, have been evaded by an arrangement of | commissions, or by using the fourth million of bonds to meet the actual loss upon the remaining three millions negotiated nomi? nally at par. The restriction did not, more over, prevent the hypothecation of the bonds, nor would it appear to prevent the bona fide holders of such bonds from selling tbtrn at any price if the money lent upon their security was not punctually repaid. 5. Tho present management, of the Blue Bidge road have for sometime advocated it? consolidation with the Greenville road, us the consolidation would give the companies ? a working basia of two hundred miles of J completed road. Thia should establish'a confidence in the value of the security which would . not be given to one based upon the few miles of the Blue Ridge road now in operation. 6. Any opposition te the Consolidation Bill would have been futile, aa the friends of the two companies, acting together, were strong enough to overcome lt without difli culty; the more especially as the scheme was not regarded.as a party measure, but as one of great momeat to all of upper South Carolina. These are, as clearly as we can state them, the principal arguments in support of the Consolidation Bill. We have given' both sides of the question, and we leave the pub? lic to form their own opini?n.* Commissioner of Agriculture". John Heart, Esq., has been confirmed by the State Senate as Commissioner of Agri? culture. Up to this time the office has. been or little, if any, service to the State, but we doubt not that the known ability and energy of Mr. Heart will soon make the Bureau of j Agriculture highly valuable to.the farmers and planters, a3 well as interesting to the general public. The appointment is a good one, and we are glad to see that it was promptly confirmed. New Books. POEMS. By Lucy H. Hooper. Philadelphia : J.' B. Lippi ucott & Co. Charleston : Pogar tie's Book Depository. These poem3 belong to a high order of | vers de soci?t?, and as such they are deserv? ing of honorable mention. The-author has taste, feeling, fancy, and a cultivated judg? ment ; her expression is vigorous and musi? cal, and her sympathy with the superficial. aspect1? of human emotion is ready and nat? ural. In none of the poems included in this I volume does she attempt to strike any of the ? higher or deeper, chords of passions-she touches minor keys, add photographs tran? sient phases of thought and feeling. But ber touch is tender and delicate, and her Verses have quite enough of the divine spirit of truth and melody to insure their popu? larity. She is not always original here and there the inliueuce of stronger singers can be traced in her verse ; but if there-is nothing new under .the sun, the most ardent Athenian must be content to' have the old J. sometimes gracefrliy retold. Many of the poems deserve f pedal mention ; but we most eon ten t ourselves with quoting the fol? lowing brief and vigorous lyric as a fair specimen of the whole : REV?LRr. ? .'
