Thc Propped Lease of thc South Caro? lina. Railroad-Ita Ruinous Character ? and Probable Effects. For some, time past rumora "have been in creasing of a proposition, io behalf of tbe Central' Railroad ol Georgia, to become the lessee of tho South Carolina Railroad. Of late these- rumors have assumed more cer? tainty, and, to some extent, have developed the inducements which will be oflered to the stockholders o? the South Carolina Railroad. The chief of these, "is said, will be an en garment to lease the road and. all proper ties of the South karolina Railroad fora long term, of years, paying a .dividend to the stockholderb ?? ?be rate of four per. cent, on the par value c: the shares:' In addition to which i the usual, undertakingwill be made to pay the interest on the debt, keep the : road in repair, and return it, in the same or- , dor in which it may be received, at the ex- i piraron of the lease. . The Central Railroad in Georgia is to the City of Savannah very much, the same as t?i.e:South Carolina Railroad i3 to tho City j of-Charleston. The competition between " those two roads Is not ody induced by a , regard- for.the interests of the stockholders . in each, but, ia a, great., measure to sustain in each Sta?e\th? etty which la the terminas o? each road.. The City Of Savannah, il the Central Railroad was not in operation, 'might, from- Its water communication with the Ci ty ol Augusta,, secure some portion of . the business which to* the present time it j enjoys;. Bat the City ol Charleston has DO I Other communication than such as the South Carolina Railroad affords. Take from it that road, and the means -are altogether re? moved by which commodities can be brought . to it, or taken from it. The-Sawiw???trznrcr ' Charleston Railroad could scarcely be ex- J pee tod to present any effectual opposition to ' the colossal proportions of the Central Rail? road in Georgia, when the competition of the Sooth Carolina Railroad has been over? come. ' The question, therefore, of the. lease of the Sooth Carolina Railroad is the qaes-' tioii of the commercial independence, it may be' Bald, the commercial existence, of the City or Charleston. The considerations, however, which.at thia time it la desired to present io.connection with this matter are addressed immediately to tho stockholders of the S jut h Carolina Railroad. For th? present, we put aside all questions of pride, whether it affects them as citizens of the State or residents of the j City ol Charleston. We address ourselves to lt as a purely business matter. For the present, also, we pot aside any consideration of the. motive or parp?se which prompts the offer o? the Central Rail- ; road of.-Georgia to ?ease the South Carolina j Railroad. It may be that, in the teeth of j the gigantic efforts of the Central Railroad to absorb the business of the South and Southwest and centralize it in Savannah, : resolta have shown that, with the competi? tion of the Sooth Carolina Railroad, the efforts ; of the Central Railroad-have been unavailing, and that its last effort is to ab? sorb a competition with which it could not contend, and buy, in the shape of a lease of the South Carolina Railroad, tbe life? blood of the State oi Sooth Carolina, and o? the City of Charleston. We say nothing by way of reproach, te the'persons who con? trol the Ceotral Railroad, or to those who wish to give to the City of Savannah aa en? during pre-eminence over the City of Charleston. They, have heretofore struggled for the success ol the Central Railroad, and the pre-eminence of the City of Savannah, with a zeal which no one can fail to com? mend. If they cap, after having failed to overcome us, conduct themselves so skilfully that they will make us the meaos with which we shall overthrow ourselves, still greater will be the credit due to their sagacity. What particular quality will thenceforth be considered as characteristic of os is a mat? ter that; after the lease is signed, we shall probably know without being told. Bat of this, more hereafter. It is to the stockhold? ers of the South Carolina Railroad that we now speak. What tempts the stockholders : in this:'ofter?' Simply tho four per cent, dividend that is promised. If there ls noth? ing else to be considered, the inducement is proper, and ID itself ls good. But is the stockholder certain that, at the end of two, three br four years, he will have any stock? And if he bas no stock, where will be his dividend? These queries may seem strange. A few words will make them plain eoough. In two or three years, a certain portloa of the debt of the South Carolina Railroad will become dne. If the control of the South Carolina Railroad has passed into the Cen? tral . Railroad of Georgia, who is to provide for the payment of this debt ? The South Carolin! Railroad, as an independent cor? poration, will have ceased to exist; it will 'have become a mere appendage of the Cen? tral Railroad. Will the Central Railroad j ay the debt? Certainly not. What, then, will follow? The creditor of the South G'Wlica Bauroad saes that road; recovers Iiis j?dgtneat; and th? property of the South Carolina Railroad-the railroad itself-ia sold by lae shena. TY? interest of the stockholder is gone, and all the rights ne bad as such belong to the pnrchaser at the "sherifi's Bale. It is idle to talk o? combina? tions among the stockholders to provide for the debt. We all know how ridiculous is the suggestion that the stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad could or would combine out or their personal resources to pay the debt of the road. No other conse? quence then ensues than that which has been stated. But who will buy ? The some parties who are the lessees. For the debt sued for, whether that debt be $50,000, or $100,000 or $150,000, they will buy out the whole of the interest in the South Carolina Railroad that is now held by its stockhold? ers. And BO baying, these parchaseis will hold this road ai their own property, sub? ject to no other charge than the debt which is secured by a mortgage of the road. So bought, subject to that charge, it will be probably, for the parpases for which the purchase will be made, the cheapest pur? chase of a railroad of its kind ever made in the United States. This danger, therefore, to the stockholder of the loss of hts stock cnn only be prevented by not leasing the road; ,by not'giving the control of rt to those'whose interests arf adverse to it, nnd whose interests are promoted by making its management different from what it now is. The inducement of this dividend, therefore, to the stockholder is that he will receive it for two or tiree years, and then, aa he will cease to be a stockholder, the dividend will also cease. The proposition, in fact, is to each stockholder to sell bis Btock for two or three years' dividend of four per cent, on its par value. If the offer of tUe Central Railroad had been to bind itself to extend the debt of-the South Carolina Railroad, during tbe con? tinuance of the lease, the offer would have been specious, but. nothing more; for every stockholder would have seen that, with the management of the South Carolina Railroad for a long term of years in the banda of i rival corporation, at perfect liberty to use it for the purposes of trade, at the end of Ihe lease the course of trade would have bern so changed as to make it impossible hr the South Carolina Railroad to pay its debt. It would, in that form, have only deferred for a certain number of years that result which now will come to pass in the next three or four years, after such a lease is made as is proposed in behalf of tho Central Railroad of Georgia. _ _ The Last Dodge. There is a rumor in Columbia, which bas come to the ears of The Phoenix, that a Ring, composed of the Southern -Security Company and some cf the State officials, have formed a plan for buying the Spartan^ barg and Union Railroad, for a mere song, at the approaching, sala The State would lose Its endorsements, amounting to $600, 000, and the Ring, by extending the road from Alston to Columbia, would head off the Greenville Road, and make tbe upper part of the State tributary to the Northern ports. . ' '. : Tho Death of Colonel Jam?? H. Taylor. "The death or Colonel James H. Taylor, which took place on Saturday evening, was a severe shock to the whole community. In the maturity of mind .and body, in vigorous health, of remarkably abstemious habits, and content lu the enjoyment of a lite of faithful and intelligent mercantile labor, he may weil have looked forward to loflg years of useful prosperity. Called a second time to take part In the government of the city, he had already obtained a commanding Influence among bis colleague?. His busy brain was flited, with plana of Improvement for the Charleston In which he had dwelt for more than four de? cades... There was no halting or hesitat? ing In his private or publio career. He was looked upon as a staunch citizen, who, whether in commerce' or In the direction of municipal affair-1, would work untiringly and unceasingly to achieve an honorable success. No man in Charleston seemed less likely to serve as a melancholy example of tbe uncertainty of life.. Yet while,his cheery words were ringing In the ears of bis business friends, while the pressure ot his hand was still felt by him who had accompanied the fated man to his very door, while his stalwart form still lingered on the retina of those to whom he bad just ex? posed bis broad plans for the business season, the shadow of death was over and around him, and the span of Bis days was well-nigh run. Without warning, without an instant of preparation, with no opportunity of bidding his family a last farewell, the strong man was stricken down. An exclamation rang from his lips; In an Instant he was insensible; before an hour he was dead. Well may we pray, in the words of the litany, to be saved from Bud? den death. Colonel. Taylor was born In Sunderland, Massachusetts, on March -23,1811. He came South and settled in Charleston in 1830, being first employed In the house of William B. Har ward & Co., ot King street. Afterward he entered the house of Dick & Holmes in Vendue I Bange. He then engaged In the dry goods business on bis own account, and, still later, became the senior member of the auction firm of Taylor, Levy & Co. He also did business in Broad street, as an Insurance agent. Dui lng the war he was mainly engaged In the auction business, and, at the close of the war, found himself the possessor of considerable prop? erty. He was then admitted as a partner in the firm of G. W. Williams ?fe Co.,: where, at the head of the factorage business of that mammoth house, he remained until his death. Colonel Taylor always paid especial atien-, tlon to industrial enterprises. He was one of the founders of the manufacturing company whose buildings are now used aa an almshouse; he waB treasurer, for many years, of the highly successful Granltevllle Manufacturing Company, and was aRewards the president of the Batesvllle Mauulacturlog Company. In 1832 be became a member of a spirited military company called the Northern Volun? teers, ol which he was chosen captain. During the Confederate war he was a captain of the Home Guard, being beyond the age of active service In the field. Ho was, also, aide-de camp to Major-General Schnierle, whence he received bis title of colonel. Colonel Taylor was a member of the Presby? terian Church, and an earnest worker la all charitable undertakings. When the Howard Association was formed, Colonel Taylor be-' came one of its most active members. Al? though a Northern man and unaccllmated, be declined to flee from the yellow fever, and be? fore he was out of danger himself, he was busily engaged in nurelng the desolate and poor. In recognition of his high merit, he was elected president of the Howard Associa? tion at its reorganization last summer. Dar Tri*J t ri ; viv JUL o ? lng thejwhole epidemic, his administrative ability, his zeal and, hlB industry were more lhan ever conspicuous. Colonel Taylor was a man who, without courting popularity, gained general confidence and respect. This was tbe meed of an up? right and honorable career; a lifetime of stern rectitude and inflexible mercantile Integrity. We dare not dwell upon the circumstances, of his,awfully sudden dea:h. Apparently.in perfect health, he was seated attable en Satur? day evening, when he suddenly put bis hand to iris head saying, "TAis is apoplexy!" He was then removed to the library la an insen? sible condition. His physicians, who were in? stantly summoned, were unable in any way to relieve him, and he breathed his lost at six o'clock without, for an Instant, recovering bis co nsc lon s ness. ?' . His funeral services will take place this af? ternoon, at three o'clock, at the Glebe street Presbyterian Church. Blackwood. The January number of Blackwood (Leonard Scott Publishing Company) ls lull of interest. The "Maid of Sker" 19 slow of development, and becomes somewhat prosy; but the "Two "Mrs. Scud?mores," an exciting sketch, is brought to a close, and the "Haunted Enghe "nio" ls both short and graphic. A practical paper in discussion pl "Toe Nine Hours' Move? ment" ls especially valuable and cheering at this time, and the third article upon 'Trench "flomd Life" is as thoughtful and attractive as its two predecessors. Instead of a purely political article, we have, this month, a narra- j tive of the loss of the troop-sblp Megaera, by one of the survivors; as fascinating a history as any of the taleB of disasters at sea in which the young take delight. f?atw?.
