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

thought to be permanent, -was mad
the starting bondholders. The ?roa

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

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!

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. . ?
