The Present Condition of tne South Carolina Railroad. \" .We print to-day the reports-of thePresi .. dent- and vice-President of the South Caro - Railroad Company, Bhowing the result, ?of the operations of the year 1871, and; 'setting forth the present condition of the. .affairs of the company. These reports speak for therua elves, and need no .explana? tion. Bat stockriders. habitually think j " lesa of what they have than of what they j have not. We think it well, therefore, to point'out briefly the tangible gains of the stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad since the war closed. They have not had a regular dividend; bat we contend that the intrinsic vaine of their stock increases every year; and that any other policy than that Which has been adopted would hare been &Sjtotal \o their interests as would be *he proposition to take a dividend of four per J^? "for a few years, with the - mtjraTcer. tainty that, at . the end, of that, period, the stock would be worthless. A glance at the ^???ry'of the road aluce the-close ot the war will, we think, demonstrate this fact to the satisfaction of the most sceptical stock? holder. - -j ' ia- Joly i 1865, when the South Carolina Railroad was turned over to President Magrath by the military authorities, who for months had held it in possession, the road was a wreck of its former self. Eighty-five niles of road were utterly destroyed, only an occasional cutting and embankment re? maining to show were the line had been. .Afore than one-half of the entire equipment of-Jhe.company. had been burned by the jPederaltrpx>j^,' BJi? the greater part of what remained was separated from the available line by a break ot fifty miles or more. And this was not all the loss. The road itself was the only means of communication be tween the' Northeastern ?nd Southwestern sections of the Confederacy. Daring four years it had borne the whole strain of the government transportation,, and with no adequate means of repairing damages, and of maintaining the efficiency of the road. S applies of material were obtained through the blockade, but these were not sufficient to keep the line ia order. Its business was so increased that it earned nearly SQ, 023,858 Lo 1864, against $2,881,113 in 1863, and there I '"was, at the same time, a corresponding de? crease in the available mean B for keeping np the road-bed and rolling stock. No Wonder, "then, that the road was worn down, and.that what remained of it was in no con? dition to deal satisfactorily with such freights -as it might obtain. It could not obtain mach apon any terms. It had. no Northern .and Western connections; the way qr local -business was its sole reliance. Large sums of money were ..needed for rebuilding and equipping tho road. The sterling .bonded debt, with twenty per cent of back interest, ail payable in gold, was fast approaching maturity. When application was made.to capitalists in New. York, the answer was 'that the South Carolina Rai!road was not -known in the loan market. : This was true. It bad, before tbs. war, obtained in Charles-: -ton ali the money that it required. As it had hot caired upon the Northern, bankers when it was prosperous, they declined to aid lt in the hoar ot its sore adversity. The .crisis had come; the situation see m ec} hope? less. At that, time the road was bankrupt; THE STOCK WAS NOT INTRINSICALLY WORTH . JTVB CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. Bat the fceSI tieri t End directors were equal to the eolCr : gency. They mast either allow the road to be sold io satisfy the bonded creditor?, or they mast fight along and endeavor to save the stock. It was at this moment that President Magrath toi? his board that? if they would give him three years, he would return to them their road in a condition superior to its condition before the war. And nobly has he fulfilled every pledge he has made! The South Carolina Railroad mast work out its own salvation ! This was the situation in 1865: No help from abroad; caught but sneers and complaints at home. Work upou the road wo3 actively begun. 1U three tr iour engines and beggarly ac? count ot carB were in constant employment, j but, when the road was reopened lambia, in January, 1866, the Ci Road waa still closed. The whole to thrown upon the Angosta Line. TL rapidly rebuilt, and the records sh< the South Carolina Railroad accom more, in th? same period Of time, tha accomplished by any other railro the Southern country. An arrang thought to be permanent, -was mad the starting bondholders. The ?roa gradually regaining the business wh Central Railroad had 'Obtained wbil< muoications with Char teston were rupted. At midsummer^ 1869, the ros in. comparatively easy circumstances the tature seemed freetfrom canses of i anxiety. In lb65 the gross earnings ?o?d were $1,291,56?, and in 1869 -were 1,334,248, against an income ii ! of only SI,429,756. Ont of nothing Directors had created an income o: teen hundred thousand dollars. But ue w elements <of distnrbonc? wer developed. The Columbia and Av Railroad carno into busy competition the South Carolina Railroad, for both fi and passengers. As a shorter line, il able to take away the major part < through passenger business of the route. This trouble was complicated b necessity of arranging with the cr?dito the Southwestern Railroad Bank, an the (failure of the negotiations for thi tension and conversion of the sterling 1 ed debt The affairs of the company in a'peculiarly critical; condition. A opponents were fighting desperately every ounce of freight They boasted the South Carolina1 Railroad was on the v of dissolution, and that the comme 'death o? South Carolina and of Charle would follow. They declared that we not enough of .the .yankee in our com] tion to enable us to hold our own with quick-witted railroad-men of the North. Two. years have passed,; and with v result ? The road bas been putin firet-c order, and,, in . point of e quip me j t, compare favorably with any railroad in South. ; The President has rearranged. sterling debt, by converting it into a I mortgage debt, apon terms alike just to t landholders and to the company.. The I ii li ties o' the road on account of the Sou vestern Ralko^Bw*..,^*6 tieeQ met, 8 liaced in a manageable, shape. The bc less connections of *he road have be iteadiiy extended, and two feeders he Macon and Augusta Railroad and t ? reen vii Ie and Columbia Railroad--ha teen brought under its control. A co roiling interest in these two lines is no ?wned by the South Carolina Railroad Cor )any, securing it against a threatened lo if business, which would have plunged tl oad into financial confusion. This, i ?rief, is what the management of the Soul karolina Railroad have done. Beginning re may say, wilh only a huge capital? lebts, they have armed and equipped th oad at all points, and have enabled o.compete successfully with its every bus tess rival. This, as we have before ri narked, is shown by the fact that the r< teipts of cotton by the South Carolina Rail oad have regularly Increased year by year ty th? fact that the gross earnings of thc ieorgia Central Railroad for 1871 show i ailing off of 20 per cent; while the earn ogs or the South Carolina Railroad foi sri, in spite of the Charleston epidemic, how a falling off of only 9 per cent nd by the fact that, this season, the receipts ? cotton a? Savannah have fallen off 33 per ent, while the falling off at Charleston is nly 17 per cent. In one point Only have he board been unsuccessful. They have lot declared a dividend. The improved onnections ot the road, its excellent equip - neut, the gradual restoration of Southern irosperity-these are promises of Bpeedy ind regular dividends. It. is plain, how? ler, that to pay a dividend which is not ?amed is only adding to the load of debt vaich the road hos to corry. Such a course night give relief to the stockholders for a lesson, but it would infallibly result in the otal loss of their property. Their stock rrows more valuable Intrinsically every year, ind dividends, once resumed, will continue ust as long as the present enlightened policy directs the affairs of the road. At ?be end of the war, what stockholder would not have been willing to renounce ali hope ot lividends for eight or,ten years ! Had that been done, the President and Directore, freed from public complaint and speculative olaaor, would have found fewer obstacles In their path, and would by this time have been able, we believe, to give the stock? holders a modest dividend. The price of the stock would have advanced quietly and regularly. The stock, which Bold at 80 when the road was on the brink of ruin, would not be selling at 40 to-day, when the prospects of the road are bright in the extreme. It may be gathered, from' what we have said, that we support and sustain the pres? ent policy of the South Carolina Railroad. This is our platform : We gr"nt thal mis? takes may have been made, but, upon the whole, vee regard the management of the SouOt Carolina Railroad, since the ivar, as eminently wise and beneficial. And this tee say tn the interest of the stockholders, and of the people of the Ctly and ?Slate. Nor is ours any blind adherence to the powers that be. "We believe that TUE CHARLESTON NEWS was the'first paper in South Carolina to raise ita voice in criticism o? the policy of I tire Sooth Carolina Railroad. That criticism was intended to advance the public good, I ?md we cannot regret what was honestly [.dona Bat we have been converted by tb? logic of events. An d we ven Lu re to say that if the critics inquired more, they woild blame less. A rigid scrutiny of the affairs [ of the road wonld -compol the grumblers to admit that the President rad Directors of the South Garolioa Railroad have deserved weil of the stockholders ?nd of the State. Theirs is no narrow sphere of duty. In bat? tling for the stockholders they renew and build np the trade and commerce of-Charles? ton and Sooth Carolina. They have fonght the good fight, and we Say to them-Well .done! Ulimis. WANTED, BYlZ RESPECTABLE PER SON,a altaatljnas nurse.

CHARLESTON DAILY REPUBLICAN. P We propose to Issue on MONDAY next the ant na mtier of au Afternoon Paper in tue City of Charleston, This Journal win tea revival of the Charleston Dally Republican, under better, auspices, we hope, and on a snrer basis, vre ar? ulan to announce, as an earnest o? success.-that , the enterprise has met with the most cordial as? surances of snpport from Democrats as well as Republicans. ... The principles of : bis, paper will be thoroughly Republican, and we will strive to square1 Its course with the doctrines of that grtat! party : which saved the nation in tts .hour of peril, made it honorable at home and respected abroad, which has enlarged the limits of ci vn liberty within our own. borders, and furnished Lew ideas on the subject to the world. . We shall strive to Illustrate that liberality of sentiment: which believes.t'aat men may disagree with regard to public measures, without the ran? cour of bitter hostility ;;and we will always be ready to extend the largest charity towards opln-: lons which we may even deem unwise If only we are convinced that they are' honestly entertained. We believe, and will maintain, that the present State Administration has contributed largely, to the Improvement of all our people-especial! j of the bumbler classes, both white and colored, to whom it hov br wise and wholesome l?gislation, afforded an equal chance In the race of life; and sure and just, protection tn all their rights and privileges. While w? will not attempt to deprecate the ex? alted qualities of that class which, up to the late : revolution, ruled the iBtate-qualities, indeed, of which we are Justly proud-yet we cannot con? sent to ? acrlflce the welfare of the1 mats of the people to any Individual development, however splendid and pre-eminent. We will contend that: the civilization of this State, np to the rise of the' Republican party within na borders, was narrow, excludive and selfish; and that rt tended, In equal degrees, to the elevation of a few dnd to the de-, pression of the many. We hall'at present with Joy, and will strive to foster lt In the future, the rise of the lower classes or the State, both white and colored, from their loog humility no der evil institut lons to foll citizenship and comp etc man? hood. We rejoice |n the abolition of slavery as. removing a moral stigma from onr national char? acter, and lifting an incubas from our industrial, pursuits. . ? We will spare h either labor nor expense to. make the Dally Republican a lively and : lnstrac-. tlve sheet, and we will strive to adapt , lt to the tastes and necessities of all our people. The Weekly Republican will be issued every Sat? urday, and will contain, lu a?dltlon to the news of the week and fnll editorial matter, an abund? ance of well ' selected light reading; which I will make lt an acceptable companion.m every house? hold in the State. ~ In conclusion, we call upon all liberal moderate and enlightened men, and especlally-opon all trae Republicana, to lend us a prompt and foll sup? port. . ?
