He says all the roads from Greeley lead to Grant, and warns the Democratic parly against those of its members who urge a straight ticket as work? ing In the interest of Grant. -The Germans have sl^ntJIzed once more one of their recent acquisitions by reopening the Strasbourg University, which was establish? ed by that government in 1567, and maintain? ed until the French Revolution In 1793, during which time lt had acquired a fame hardly second to any university in Europe. The re? establishment of this institu? ion under Rar man supervision bas been directed by Herr Yon Moller, the Governor of the province, and the*ceremonlos of inauguration were also conducted by him representing the Emperor. The court-yard of the Schloss was rooted, floored and decorated with flowers and parti? colored hangings, on which were emblazoned the arms of the chief towns In Alsace and Ger? man Lo?T??ie. Some six or seven thousand persons participated In the exercises* the German olvil and military authorities andi the mayor.and corporation* of Strasbourg., oc? cupying the front seats. Yon Mollee hand? ed the charter oL the university to the aged rector, Dr. Brusch,and at thc same time read a telegram.If om the Emperor, wishing success tp,t%e>nterpr!ee. Several princes and officers of rank were present, and the ceremonies closed with music, speeches and toasts, -The,labor strikes ot the North seem to br generally successful. The m- >ter masoni of New York on Monday, by G voie of nine teen to eighteen, voted to concede eight boura a day's work. The vote was subs.equer.tly made unanimous. The bricklayers, stonemasons moA laborers were expected to return to work on Tuesday, The German cabinetmakers and plumbers joined the eight-hour move? ment. A large number of their employers have already granted the demanded . concession. The carpenters are so confident of success that ail the journeymen are at work who can get employment at eight hours, A dispatch of Monday night says: "The strike of the vari? ons trade organizations for the enlorcement of the eight hour law has met with success, - and ls virtually over. The bricklayers re? sume work to-morrow. The boss carpenters heid a meeting to-night and endeavored to compromise on nine hours,-but the men held ont, aud finally eight hours were conceded them. The majority of boss cabinetmakers have given in, os have also the master brick? layers. Grinders and polishers, and other minor trade organizations will strike to-mor? row." In Richmond, Ya,, the house-painters have refused to serve at present rates, and other trades are also preparing to demand a rise, so that the labor problem is looking more complex than ever. -A correspondent of ihe New York Herald at Zanzibar, Africa, writes that one of the principal Arabs of Ujiji left that place on the 12th of January and reported to Sheik Ben Naslb, an Important personage in Ucyemwem ba, that Mr. Stanley, the Herald's chief of the Livingstone expedition, had reached UJiji fifty days before. The messenger left by a cir? cuitous route, which he was compelled to take on ascount of trouble on the regular caravan route. At the time of Mr. Stanley's arrival, Sr. Livingstone was not at Ujiji. He had been travelling in the neighboring country, and was distant some twenty days' march .??rom UJiji, between Lakes Tanganyika and si le Victoria Nyanza, but that subsequent]; Livingstone bad arrived at UJlji, and h Mr. Stanley wera thea together. This was brought to Zinzlbar. April 2, by the . Some consider lt strange that Mr. Sta if at Ujill when the messenger left, dh send letters by him. This is fully expli by the circumstance that he did Intend to go to Uoyemwemba when he UJlji, but started with an armed fore fight against a native chief nsmed Misa between these places, and only came to jemwemba because his fighting opera brought him near. Neither Livingstone Stanley have sent any letter?, though presumed, of course, that had they kn ;hata channel of communication was < they would doubtless have availed themse J! the opportunity. TIM news In regan ;he health o? both the explorers is only n live. Nothing being said nbout their b rick, it ?3 taken for granted that they are \ The whole story, however, is still unsatls lory. Notting is said In regard to the (u plans of the two explorers, and lt is i nearly Heven years since Dr. Livingstone England on this last expedition. No direc telligence has been received from him s 1868~ ----=-==-== The Policy for the Sooth; We have, in a previous arti cha, expr?s oar views upon tho general policy which South will adopt in the ensuing Presiden campaign. We purposo now to consi the best modo o? giving to it body and sba United as we believe the State to be the question of policy, thero are unquesti ibiy differences of opinion os to the b way of carrying it into effect. The lett >f General Kershaw and of the Hon. A. aldrich not only reflect their own opinio t)ut are, we presume, to a certain extent, expression of the thought and sentiment the communities of which they are centt It is needless to say that for these gem nen we entertain the highest respect. Tl possess, in a large degree, the confidence he State, and whatever falls from them ipt to meet such general attention that s especially incumbent upon us to subj? .heir reasoning to critical examination, 'a .efuto it, or at least develop, as fully as i san, tho strength of the argument on t >ther side. Although General Kershaw and Jadj Ullrich differ somewhat in their views, th igree in opinion that the State should ni ie represented in the Baltimore Conventio Ve will not at present discuss the mini .oints of divergence, bul contine ourselvi o the single question upon which they a a accord. If the wisdom of holding a National Coi ention were before us for consideration, vi light be disposed to concur with these ger lernen ; but that ls no longer an open quee ion. The Convention is called, it will as amble, and the only issue for U3 to resolv ', whether we will be a part of it, c rhether we shall adopt a policy of isolatioi nd hold ourselves aloof. To separate ourselves from th03e will hom wo bavo been so long and close!; >nm;cted-with whoin at have cordiall; cted during years of unexampled hard lip-who have been with os the victims of ? )tnmon calamity, and who now sailer un de milar misfortunes-is prima facie to com lit one of those blunders which is equiva mt to a crime. There may be cause ifficiently grave to justify It; but it is foi lose wuo advocate such separation to show io necessity for it, and we submit that thc Bcessity has not been made apparent. The apprehension of Judge Aldrich is that e may be committed by the Convention, ad the pith of his argument is contained in is own expression, that "to bolt before is much better than a bolt ofter hot blood is engendered " But if our delegates do their J ty. as they undoubtedly will, the Gonven on will be unmistakably informed that a emocratie nomination cannot be supported >' tb? Sooth. If the Convention should still wsist in a nomination, the responsibility of ?cing off tho Southern States will then rest a it and uot on us. A "bolt," it is true, is t all times awkward; but a "bolt" is a part f Judge Aldrich's programme. The differ ice between us is, that the Judge proposes i bolt now ; we prefer to wait nntil it is ecessary. He proposes to bolt alone; we refer to have company. Even if the Southern States should, as iggested by Jndge Aldrich, ratify the nom latiODS at CiDCiDDati, and decline to Bend elegates to Baltimore, we do not think such course could accomplish the result desired, i r be justified os wise and manly. Whatever F good could be gained, whatever influence )nld be exerted by the Southern States, iparately acting, could surely be as fully :coraplished by the united action of the Duthern delegations. To hold otherwise ould be to maintain that the several action f each was stronger than the united action f all. It is not ecough to be righi. It is ften of the greatest importance to make it pparent to others that we are right. We ave no representation in Congress. Beyond ?cal limita we are voiceless. Through the lemocratic Convention alone can we be eard, and, through our own people, present ur case before the tribunal of the country, 'he South, standing as a unit and enforcing ts cause by argument and appeal, would xercise the greatest, indeed all the inflo fice, which can, by any possibility, belong o lt. Is it at all certain that a fair and candid xpression of our views will not receive avorable consideration from the Democratic ?arty of the North? We have no right to issume that it will not. The action of the lew York State Convention ls already in ccordance with our wishes. The same ourse will doubtless be followed by other States, and if the North should, in deference to our peculiar position, allow the South to declare the policy of tho patty, is it not far better that such result should How from the general assent of all than be forced upon the party by the action of a portion ? The task before U3 is to defeat the present ad? ministration. The union of all antagonistic elements is essential to success. Is it pol? icy to Inaugurate the movement by declining conference and consultation, and rudely re? pelling those ou whose aid we must rely ? Our duty and our policy are to unite all the Democrats with the Liberal Republicans on the Cincinnati platform. DJ we facilitate that result by dissolving the Democratic party ?-for to refuse to go into convention is to destroy the parly. Neither must wc forget that a large portion of those whom we seek to enlist in our cause, render no allegiance to the Na? tional Convention o! the party, to which we are unaccustomed, and await its decision before expressing their own convictions. The most successful appeal lo them is through the Convention. Shall wo volun? tarily cast away an engine of andi potency ? To influence that Convention, to impress upon it our views, to indace it to realize our situation and adopt our cause, and labor earnestly and cordially with us for the re? demption of thc South, and through it to in? fluence the Reform parly of the North, is the great duty before us. The Convention is our battle-Held. We Lave every thing to gain and nothing to loee. We repoat that the strength of the argu? ment is with us, but in all popular questions it is not safe to trust to reason alone. Pas? sions aro often more powerful than judi ment, and for the South to break Hie Demo? cratic party without actual cause, but sim? ply from an apprehension of danger, will surely sting the pride and iullame the pas? sions of thc only party in tho country which professes the principles we hold. Might they not well say, "Why not have met in council and appealed to our sense of right, our disposition to do you justice?" Ii 3eom3 to U3 that the, wise and manly course is to go into convention, send our ablest mee as delegates, and in union with the ether Southern States exhaust every ef? fort to procure from the Convention the action essential to our safety. If we suc? ceed, much is gained ; if we fail, the power | of self-preservation still remains. Thc Political CrislH. We print, in another column, a letter from the Hon. W. D. Porter to Colonel Simeon Fair, in which Mr. Porter submits the reasons which, in hid opinion, as in our own, make it imperatively necessary that South Carolina, at this crisis, should send a Tull delegation to the Baltimore Convention. As a dignified and temperotn discussion of a momentous question, Mr. Porter's letter will be read with deep interest in every part of the State. Tile South Carolina Railroad Com? pany. At a recent meeting of the directors of Ihis company authority was given to issue three million dollars Of 7 per cent, second mort? gage bonds, to bo used exclusively for ex? tinguishing the floating debt, and for the absorption of the non-mortgage bonds of the road. The floating debt of the South Carolina Railroad, representing acquisitions of rail? road and other property without which the whole business of the road would have been in jeopardy, has been carried at an onerous expense, with tbe expectation that the reve? nue of the company would allow of its grad? ual payment. Recent investments, how aver, increased the volume of the floating iebt to an extent which made it unadvisoble to continue it as a charge against income ilone. For the most part it is clearly as couch a charge against capital as the origi? nal cost of constructing the road, and it was reasonable lo expect, moreover, that the funding of the floating debt would re? mit in a considerable saving to the compa? ny. But the obtaining of a large sum of ? money was not the only point to be re? garded. The holders of the non-mortgage oonds were entitled to a certain considera? tion. And it is believed that the plan final? ly adopted is just to these, and advantage? ous to tho stockholders. .The President is authorized to sell the second mortgage Doods for cash, and also to receive in part payment the non-mortgage bonds of the Company. Taking tbe price of the second mortgage bonds at 80, and allowing two thirds of the price to be paid in non-mort? gages, the holders of these last named bonds )btain a highly desirablo security at i very low. rate. For instance, non mortgage bonds can be bought at Corless. At this price $15,000 of secured mortgage bonds would cost: S5000 at 80 ?ents, $4000, and $10,000, in bonds, at 05 ?ents, $0500; making a total of 510,500, which is equivalent to seventy per cent. To ihe stockholders the advantage or the new arrangement lies in the limit set to the oonded debt, and in the saving of expense This lost item will be equal to $30,000 or 540,000 a year; and the increase of indebt? edness, spread over a period of thirty years, sanaos exceed one per cent per annum. The earnings of the road are likely to in? crease, and the earnings of the first four months of 1872 are largely In excess of the earnings of the corresponding period of 1871; but even if the net income in future years does not exceed that of last year, the completion of the funding of the floating debt will still allow the company to pay moderate annual dividends. Altogether the position of Hie company has never, since the end of the war, been as strong a9 it now is. The road and equipment are in splendid order, the control of the Macon and Augusta and the Greenville roads secures to it a large and growing business, and the arrangement of the floating debt will unquestionably enable it to give the stockholders a hand? some return from what has been for some time au unremnnerative investment.
