'- "',' '" ' -One of. the most remarkable bills ever ] submitted to, ( Congre ss was presented on Fri dav by Mr. Pierce, of Mississippi, and laid on ] the desks of members: on Saturday. It has ] excited a vast amount of ridicule, and pro vides that the government shall appropriate two hundred millions for the settlement of ibe public lands and the education of the people; in fact giving them everything needed to keep house and go to farming, except the pro? verbial mule, which ought to be included with the lor ty acres. Out of the proposed fund any landless citizen who deslres-to Bettleon the public lands ls to be furnished transportation thereto, and the .following articles ; Fifty dol? lars' worth cf building material, one plough, one pickaxe,- one hoe, ons shovel, me axe, one hatchet, one hundred pounds of assorted cut nails, four hundred pounds ot flour, fifty pounds of bacon, ten pounds of coffee, five pounds oj tea, one hundred pounds of corn meal, sam? bf salt, fifteen bushels of seed wheat, and five ot corn, four of seed potatoes, and one dollars' worth of- assorted garden seeds. The fund for this appropriation, which ls Intended, of course, for-the colored people 4 of the South, ld to be derived from an equita? ble assessment ot-all th? property pf the peo? ple in the United States; but after a-perlod of five years th! landowners are to commence to? psy Back ten per centum a year on the amount thus loaned. They are prohibited from using ,intoxicating liquors while accepting these rands. . . :\,* -There ls ? difficulty in' 'determining the rewards which grateful royalty wishes to be, stow upon the physicians, who watched by the tedslde of the Prince of Wales, wrote^amblgu ous and obscure hourly bulletins for the relief o? an expectant and anxious public, and final? ly pi^e.i. him through his fever. In addition to the fees usual in such case?,'some titular honor must .bje> conferred to distinguish the gratitude of the ' sovereign from that of any .weal?iy~subjerrtwbamrght be under similar obligations. | Tn the ease of the two Junior phy? sicians me matter was easily settled by ma? king each' a baronet and allowing them to paint a crest on the panel of his brougham and pay the appropriate tax thereon. But Dr. Jenner and Dr. Paget already enjoy that distinction, and the puzzle is how to reward them In kind. For lt ls an unknown ihlng lo elevate a medical man to the peerage, and Debretfs could not endure such an intrusion in the sacrosanct pages devoted to the upper? most privileged class. There are various sug-. gestions, amongthem an extension of the Order of the Bath, so that physicians' may be mane* civil knights thereof, an evidently a^pr^pn?te; title. Another proposal is that th? two ?lrs? shall be sworn in as members bf the Privy .Council, whereby they "blight prefix' "'Right Honorable" to their.names. A new Order of the Bose ls also suggested; and, between them ' all, lt seems probable that the prince's doctors may acquire some iVewbUgalty without viola? ting the prejudices of the nobility of the* realm. .The Proposal to Sell the City and Slate. The exposure of the plans of the con? spirators againt Charleston and South Caro? linas made in.the columns of the press, has ^wakened trie patriotic sentiment of the people,, and prepared them, for a vigorous campaign against the strangers who would buy up a foe-whom they cannot otherwise overcome. ' It must be remembered that the men who j are busily al work compassing the min of the city and State, take as their starting point the impudent assertion that they know better than we know what our interests are. They cannot deny that the South Carolina] , Railroad ls a cherished and veined institu? tion, with"*whose history are connected the ?ames qf oar most honored citizens. They do not pretend to say that the Sooth Caro? lina Railroad has not been operated for the < benefit of the public., They are folly aware] that lt hag given, and does ?give, to the peo? ple their means i of inter-communication; that it has brought the fleecy wealth of the Mississippi Talley to the shores of the At? lantic;, that it has given to Charleston her fleet of swift steamers; that it has, year by I year, ' fought and overcome all manner of J opposition;.that it has been the great heart, forcing the quickening streams of trade and bommeree from the interior to the seaboard, and from the seaboard to the mountains. It. is because of these thlnge,J because the ] aim. of the Southfi Carolina Railroad Com? pany is the common good, because it works for this-State and not against it, that a Ring is formed to cheat the people of their rights, and to induce them lo sell their prized possession for a price as insignifi? cant as it is uncertain. It is because, while the South Carolina Railroad Company is owned and controlled by South Carolinians, tho future of the State is assured beyond a ; doubt, that the Ring would strip the people of their protector and support, and turn to other shores the tide of steadily increasing prosperity. < ' ?. The Ring have worked skilfully and se? cretly, and, wheo- South Carolina was to be .betrayed, the Judas was'not wanting.. But; the veil has been removed, the deep-laid plot is published to the world, nod from every Bide come cheering expressions of the determination that onr ?nain railroad, our stay and prop, shall not pass into the hands of them whose only object is to rob us of the fruits bf seven years bf * atieot and un? remitting toil.' f} . . We would that we might print in these columns the ind.gnant letters which are written, and the loyal words which are spoken, apon this all-imptwtant subject. From Orangeburg coses the : bold declara? tion that the writer will rather toss in's J stock certificate into the Are than use it to place the iron highway of the State at the beck and call of a Georgia Ring. Ofter counties talk in the same strain ; for they know that, sentiment apart, any policy ne? charily discriminating against South Caro? lina must injure all its citizens. And in Charleston, the feeling against the Ring is no less intense. Said One citizen, "Only the "day before yesterday, I would have sold "all my railroad stock for a fractional "advance apon the market price. To-day a "hundred dollars a share won't buy il. A "handsome profit on my,rallroad stock will "not make up to me for the loss of my busi? ness, and tho depreciation o? my property." Nor ls this temper confined to one class. A respectable drayman publicly announced on Saturday that "he was ready to buy South "Carolina Railroad stock, and hold lt 'till the "day of judgment, if that would help to "smash the Ring, and to keep the road "under the direction of our own people." - With such opinions as these, felt and ex? pressed, there can be no doubt of the result. The situation is one that all can understand. For seven years the business of Charleston, the result of the far-reaching management qi .the South Carolina Railroad, has im? proved in tiqtk jsind and amount. As Charlton and the South Carolina Railroad aio^anc?^their'rlvals lag behind. The prin? cipal sttfferer, by .oar progress,-is the t5en tral Ra il roa? af Georgia, which corporation, by its agents, proposes to lease or buy the South Carolina Railroad, and turn all* its business io the Port .of Savannah. With the South Carolina'Railroad under the man? agement of men who look to the well-being j of the people,'Charleston is ever safe. Wttn< the South Carolina Railroad under the thumb of the Rinir, Charleston 1?B63 nine-tenths bf her trade, and ls doomed to speedy extinc? tion cs a commtrcial city. Every mao, therefore, who earr s.bis livelihcolin Charles* THIS UtlAK?jiUBx \J ton, or who hair property here, bM?BpffiN? income and all his property, at stake. And the Ring-can only be permanently defeated in one way: A controlling interest in the South Carotina Railroad must be owned, in South Carolina, by citizens wluo look upon this investment as they do upon a policy of j insurance. They expect a dividend, a8 soon as it can safely be given ; bat, dividend or no dividend, the stock is of inestimable value to. them, because it insures them against the loss of their present trade, and makes it certain that their business will be enlarged every season. While- they hold that Btock, in this way, it cannot bebotght, and the millions of the Ring are powerless to harm .this people. . . :, We believe that the citizens of Charleston feel the danger and gee the remedy. A; number of gentlemen have taken the. matter.' in charge. They :will give; the people, an opportunity or joining ' in the movement against the Ring. And every share bf South Carolina Railroad stock bought and stowed away by our own citizens is a guarantee of j the present,, and a promise for the years to come. All that every man possesses, be it ) much or little, is now in jeopardy. A long pull, and'astrong pull, and a pull altogether willj in spite of the Ring, bring ns safely over the river. Oar Stake in the Game. We ask every, citizen ef Charleston to read the annexed statement of the quantity of cotton, flour, naval stores and merchan? dise brought to this city by the South Caro? lina Railroad from 1866 to 1871: !' TEARS. 1866. 94,097 1867. 155,455 1868. 184,544 1869... 206,284 1870. 246,679 1871... 264,701 S 'S* o s? -i ? 2.495 10,948 5,830 13,436 23,821 23,200 9 < 3 10,923 11,912 17,093 23,254 17,651 17,571 Saw mo? .iE5?7 - p S P 5.150 12,857 ! 16,256'J 14,661 15,950 17,390 Tn i s is what we gain by the South Caro lina Railroad; for, every bale of cotton, every | [ barrel of flour and na var s tores, and every bale of merchandise is a source of profit to I Charleston. This is what we lose, absolute- [ ly and 'entirely, if we allow the South Caro? Una Railroad to be leased, or bought up, by the Central Railroad Ring.' A Plain Question. To the immense ' business of the South Carolina Railroad, and its liberal subscrip? tions of money, we owe the fleet of steam? ships which, ply between Charleston and the North. Take that business away, or give lt ?away, as is now proposed, and one steamer a' month will accommodate the scraps of j trade which our masters may allow us to Tetain. What, then, will1 become of wharves, warehouses and cotton presses, and the thousands of persons who. depend for a li veli hood upon the trade of Charleston ? That mysterious Dividend t How do the Ring propose to earn the dividend pf four per cent., which tiley oiler to' guarantee upon the stock' or tho south Carolina Railroad Company? We know that the road is carefully and adroitly man? aged. This is shown by the fact that, in the face of competition from all quarters, and the los3 of business caused by the yellow fever ia Charleston, the falling off In income, for 1871, is less than ten per cent., while the falling off id the income of the Central Railroad of Georgia, for the same period, is over twenty per cent. It is shown, further, hythe fact that, up-to Friday last, the re? ceipts of colton at Sav?cnah show a de? crease, as Compared with 1870-71, ol thirty two pvc cent., while at Charleston the de crease* is only seventeen per ? dent How, then, do the Ring propose to accomplish mor? than is accomplished by the present' management of the South Carolina Rail-, road.? They mast either reduce the ex? penses of the road, or increase its income 1 There is no other way. ? .. ' Unless the- puissant Ring can repudiate the bonded debt, -the carrent expenses of the road cannot be lessened in any material degree. We must, therefore, look to an in? crease ic the gross.earnings. . This can only be had by augmenting the volume .of busi? ness, or by obtaining a larger price for the work now done. Upon the first point, it is sufficient to Bay that, if the Ring can add to the earnings of the road, by extending its business, the present management can do even more. They have already beaten Savannah in the race, and the acquisition of the Macon and Greenville Roads strengthens their position, and enables them to draw more business to Cnarleston than would be drawn to it by a Ring who, in all that they do, are consulting the interests of a rival city. Nor can the Ring add to their income, as they propose, by advancing rates. The Ring would control the avenues to Savan? nah and Charleston, but they would havo no control over the interior or land lines. It is the competition between the interior lines and the coast lines which reduces freights, not the competition between Charleston and Savannah. - Let the Ring advance these rate3, and they will only drive their business to the interior lines, which lines, be it under? stood, cannot compete with the South Caro? lina Railroad at present rates of freight. The Ring would. strip Charleston of its through business, and- make up the loss, as best they might, by fleecing the-helplesa mer? chants and planters living along the road. We are forced, then, to the conclusion that the modesty declarations of the*Ring are only mea^Jt asr a.'screep Co iheir true pur? pose, which is lo wip6oi4 ''Charfasfon, and' turn to Savannah the whole tkrOug/t bush j ness of the South Carolina Road. To..ac? complish this the Ring can very well afford, to pay $200,000 or 5260,000 a year. The loss of income, on the; Central Railroad of .?eoTgfa last year was about $400,000; and the inuits of 1872 promise to be worse. This is the secret "of the movement against the South'Carolina Railroad. And1, as we have before shown, the Ring could cause an ex? tinction of their lease, whenever Vade was fixed in the new channel, by falling to pay the maturing l on J debt, and'allowing the road to be sold oqt by the creditors. The stock would be extinguished, and what would become of that mysterious dividend? ? il llij TT O i 1UV11I/A1I i ui'iK ?nnioersanes. CHABLESTON CHAMBER OF COM? MERCE. Lxxxvrn ANNIYEBSABY.
