COLUMBIA, S. Tuesday Morning, July 20, rt Tb? niue Kidge Railroad. lu this morning's issue will be found copied a letter relating to tbe Blue Bidgo Railroad, penned from Columbia to the Charleston Daily News. The writer states that upon the most invulnerable evidence his assertions are made. As? suming that the premises are correctly stated, the conclusion is patent that Go? vernor Scott bas developed in a new di? rection those viowa of finance so pecu? liarly his own-which means, let the common interests of the Stato go by the board, so that his own aro protected. He obeys blindly the injunotion, "Pot money in thy purse, honestly if thoo canst; bat' pot money in thy purse." The wonderful discrepancy between the bids, one falling below the estimate of the Chief Engineer, tho additional issue of bonds, creating the startling interest charge of $700,000 in coin annually, the flection of tho. highest bidder for award of the contract, and, add to it, the ex? orbitant cost of tho road material, con? sented to in tbe contract, and the sup? port of Messrs. Harrison and Cameron in favor of the lowest bidder, puts the agenoy of Governor Scott in a most in-, jurious and damaging light to himself. The News is disposed to forbear con? demnation of Governor Scott until be bas spoken in bis defence. The very re? cent action of Governor Scott iu refer? ence to the taxes; his feeble letter on that subject, judged ns a State pnper, would have destroyed, if it existed, the slight? est respect for his Excellency's abilities, whilst its insulting and truculent charac? ter as a communication, and coupled with offensive threats, have destroyed iu us any feeling of charity which induces a withholding and forbearance of judg? ment. So strongly does the correspond? ent of the Nevos assert his facts, and so confidently does he vouch for their truth, that we cannot do otherwise than be? lieve, with the record of tho Executive staring us in tho face, that Gov. Scott has boen feathering his nest from tho Bluo Bidgo Road; and we eic not feel that wo do His Excellency any injustice in anticipating uny communication on tho mutter, and pronouncing judgment in advance on so opon n fraud and swin? dle upon tho people of South Carolina. Gov. Scott seems to think that taxation is tho "ready relief," which is to solve every financial difficulty of tho State he makes the many sutler for the benefit of tho one; and we feel it a sacred duty to make exposure of, and express our in? dignation at, every symptom of fraud and injury to our citizens which comes under our experience. How rr WAS DONE.-We recommend tho following cards to tho attention of Mr. Forney. He will learn how persons were forced to join tho leagues: OUT OF TUE LEAGUE. ROCK F ABM, RUSSELL COUNTY, VA., July 5, 18G9. Editors Abingdon Virginian. GENTLKMBN: Allow me the privilego of using a short space in tho columus of your paper to publicly declare myself out of the secret political organization known ns tho Loyul Union League. I was in? duced to join tho party under tho pre? tence held out that it would be n pro? tection to myself and property-that the property of all who did not bolong to the League would be confiscated to defray the expense of the lato civil war-and that all who belonged to tho League would be protected iu their person and property. Respectfully, J. B. HORN. HABJIOLD'S VALLEY, BUSSELL Co., VA., July G, 1869. Believing the Loyal Union League, of which I have heretofore been a member, to be morally, socially and politically wrong, and having tho welfare of the country at heart, I do hereby publicly announce my withdrawal from it forever, and add thut I do heartily regret that I ever permitted myself to bo drawn iuto it. WILLIAM RAMSEY. WATCH HIMI-When satrap of South Carolina, Gen. Canby pronounced against the administering of tho test oath to members of Legislature. Now, as satrap of Virginia, he emphatically eats hiu words, and pronounces for it. If not over-ruled, the people of Virginia may bo prepared for a stupendous cheat, iu spite of the famous victory. As Dr. Sharpe, a relative of Grant's, is a prominent can? dida te. for tho United States Senatorsbip, Canby's change of front nay be u very sltarpo transaction. [Augusta Constitutionalists. Ono day Piron visited Voltaire, who was not at home. To bully him, hu wrote upon his door, "Old rogue." Two days arter ho met the author of the Heurinde. "I went to seo you," said lie, with a dun? ning look, "and did not find you." "I know it," replied Voltaire, "you left your name upon tho. door." Korti? and. Soot H-?Ti?? ir Conditio* ?nd The Abdications throughout tho coun? try, vjplitical, commercial, agricultural and Juanoialj?n pbfht to a great and staxjpng revival of file prosperity of the Sooth. TPhert "never wan a period when the conditions of the two seotions of the Union might bo compared .with more advantage to the circumstances and pros? perity of these Southern States. Our Northern brethren have got nearly to end of their row, or, at least, have been brought to n perception that, their pro? gress and prosperity are not unlimited and their resources inexhaustible. For some years past, everything has been in their favor, and everything against us. There is a perceptible turn in the tido. It is now the South's opportunity. Over-trading, extravagance, luxury, debt and a plethora of oheap ourrency, and a monopoly of the favors, jobs and facili? ties afforded by tho Government, have brought about their legitimate fruits. Money begins to be scarce and tight; exportations decline; manufactories ore working on short time, and the gran? deur, extravagance and luxury which awhile go prevailed in every part of tho North, are greatly shorn of their preten? sion and display. Shoddyism is nearly snuffed out. There is no longer a vast army to supply. Nor is there? a great demand for the productions of tho North. Tho grain, their chief exportublo article, is not in demand iu the old world at pay? ing rates. Producers and manufacturers begin to writhe under the enormous ex? actions of tho Government. They per? ceive the impossibility of a rivalry with the cheap labor of other countries. Even railroads begin to be discovered to bo expensive means of transportation for their crude and manufactured produots. On the whole, the New Orleans Times concludes, it is palpable that everything at tho North is over-done, and that the re-action is about to begin in favor of our section. Tho South, on the other band, is arousing herself, "Uko a giant refreshed." Sho has recovered, in a large measure, from tho ruin and disas? ters cf tho war. Tho trials and afflic? tions of that event, and its consequences, bavo produced a great chango in the character of our people. A love of luxury, extravagance and pride have ceased to bo reproaches of our section. In their place, patience, industry nud a uewly-awakeued spirit of progress aud enterprise have become marked charac? teristics of the people. The products of our section are an unfailing reliauco for tho early resuscitation and enrichment of tho South. Cotton, tobacco nnd su? gar, the agricultural commodities of tho South, aro in demand all over the world at highly remunerativo prices. We have no rivals of whom wo need bo afraid. There is nothing which labor extracts from tho soil that pays better than these articles; nor is there any reason to fear un over supply. The demand of tho teeming old nations of tho world will always keep pace with the production. Other vast resources of the South aro now understood and appreciated, and the work of their development will soon begin. It is not in any spirit of exulta? tion or selfish sectionalism, but in view of patent facts und proofs, that wo hail thc brightening dawn of a new prosperi? ty in tho South. All that we need is a stable, solid and honest government, assured political and personal rights, and a better administration of the laws. To these should bo added a spirit of liberality, conciliation and cordiality on tho part of the people toward those who come to participate in our labors and en? terprises, and to share with us the wealth and power and prosperity of this highly favored country. QUICK DESPATOH.-The town of He? lena, in Montana, was nearly destroyed by fire two months ago. To-day, there is scarcely a trace of the fire in the prin? cipal business streets. Ono hundred and twenty-four new buildings, worth not less than $300,000, many of them sub? stantial brick and stone buildings, have risen as by mngic from tho ashes of the town. This may bo called quick despatch, indeed, especially whon it is stated thal nearly all tho stone used in building hud to be quarried, tho bricks burned and tho lumber sawed in thu timo named, tu well OS the houses built. In the Illinois State prison, when there aro 1,200 convicts, they havoprisoi tights for amusement, steal from the prison stores for profit, and the biggesl forger in ?he establishment has cbargo o! tho entry-book, for tho accommodutioi. of those of his puls who wish an eurh di sob urge.

"Lox," the correepoadent of the Charleston .ZVW^ writes ea follows: ContJKnia, Joly 15. I know thgt yonr papar ha? supported tho Bine Ridge Railroad through thick and thin; but un article apon tho Ashe? ville, nnd Spar tanbury Railroad, which I read in the New? a abort time, ego, en? courages me to believe that yon will not refuse to expose the hage job which has been devised in connection with the Blue Ridge Railroad. My information comes from a first-rate source. The statements I make can be proved to be truo, and will convince the people that the Blue Ridge Railroad Ring may hold up itu head by the side of the great Whiskey Ring, and not lose by tho com? parison. I believe that the whole scheme lins but oue object-to put money iu the pocket of Dr. R. K. Scott, the so-called Governor of Sonth Carolina. Why should he care if $8,000,000 or $10,000, 000 bo added to the State debt? All that he cares for is to make hay while the sun shines, and he will do it if we lot him alone. I need not remind you that the Legis? lature in September last passed a bill au? thorizing the guarantee of ?4,000,000 for tho completion of the Bluo Ridgo Railroad, and that at the meeting of the company held lately in Charleston it was determined to mako the principal and interest of the guaranteed bonds paya? ble in coin. About the end of June, advertisements were published iu '.bo State papers, and in tho Northern und Western papers, calling upon responsible persons to como forward and contract for building the road from Anderson to Knoxville, a distance of 152 miles, pay? ment to be made in tho aforesaid coin bonds. Colonel Low, the chief en? gineer, was to have plans and specifica? tions ready, and tho bids wero to be openod at Columbia, on July 8. The Chief Engineer was very close and gave no information ns to what his estimate of the cost of building the road was; yet, queerly enough, it turned oat after? wards that tho bid of one contractor was in every item so little above, or so littlo below, the estimate of the Chief En? gineer, that the total bid was just abont the same. Whon the 8th came, the bidders, or their representatives, met in Gov. Scott's office at Columbia, and it was found that bids bad boon submitted by the follow? ing persons: J. M. Christy A Co., Criss? vill, Patterson A Sellers, Dudley, Bard? well A Co., J. A. Hunt, of North Caro? lina; D. Tyler Sc Co., of Pennsylvania; B. D. Hasell, of New York, and J. D. Chnmplin, of New York, and one other. All tlie bidders named were resposiblo persons, and could guarantee tho fulfil? ment of their contracts. The lowest bid for tho work wus, in round numbers, 87,500,000, and the highest 810,000,000. This last was the bid of Crissvill Sc Co. There was ono higher bid, but it was un? derstood to have been put iu only that Crissvill's might not be tho highest. When tho bids bad been exposed, Go? vernor Scott said ho found that it would take at least ?8,000,000 to completo tho road, and bo could only command $1, 000,000. It would not do to spend any of this, as it was his intention to apply to the Legislature to iucrense tho guaran? tee to the full amount required. [The engineer's estimate was, I think, $8,500, 000."! This caused the contractors to prick their ears; one of them, however, was io the secret. Mr. McClure, repre? senting Crissvill Sc Co., came forward and said that he bad known the views of the Governor, and had so arranged his bid as to ndvauco tho company at once $300,000 to pay off its outstanding lia? bilities, and that he would carry on the work for nine months, at a cost of about $1,000,000, without touching tho bonds. Tho other contractors very properly objected to this way of doing business. They said that they had not known what Scott's views were and asked to be al? lowed to modify their bids, so as to be able to offer the same advances. Scott could not refuse this. The contractors revised their bids and submitted them afresh, Crissvill ?fe Co.'s being still of the bona fide bids the highest. All the con? tractors were then bowed out, except Crissvill ?fe Co., who seemed to occupy permanently the Governor's back room. When the uninitiated were ont of the way, there was a palaver between Scott and Crissvill & Co. After some talk they agreed to reduce their bid to about $9, 000,000, which was nccepted. There were other bids as responsible in every way, al $8,000,000 and less, but the $9,00O,00C bid was accepted. Is Saott in partner? ship with Crissvill? He certainly wat not in partnership with tho bidders al 1 $7,500,000 and $8,000,000. ' Now let us look at tho prices nt whiol: ' tho work was proposed to bo done. Tho estimates for oartk-work, pei ' cubic yard, ranged from 28 to 45 cents, 1 Crissvill k Co.'s price was 40. [Whei: 1 there is any bid at a higher price thai theirs, it may bo set down to tho nccoun '. of the "covering bid" put in to proven Crissvill A Co. being at tho top. J Foi ' grubbing and clearing, per nero, thobidi 1 were from $80 to 3175. Crissvill's bk was $100 For loose rock excavations tho bids wero from 50 cents to $1. Criss 5 vill's bid was 70 cents. For solid rock 1 tho bids ranged from $1.75 to $1.90 1 tho Inst being Crissvill's. For tunne . excavation tho bids ranged from $9.7; ' to $10 per yard. Crissvill's bid wai 1 $15.50. For first class masonry tho bid ' were from $12.55 to $20. Crissvill's bit was $18, Now I come to the cream of it ? For spikes and chairs perpennd, respoc i tively, tho bids wero from, 7 ?nd^,1. i cents to ll and 15 cents. These spike j and chairs are worth about/tr<;rrm/a//<v/ te a pound in New York. For rail iron, tbe bida were from $100 to JjsT ton. OriswriH'a bid waa $135. ia iron can be bought and delivered J=J Anderson for ninety-txco do?,tfe a ton. Orisavill, Scott Sc Co. make a profit of OvXf forty-three dollars on each ton of railroad iron. Upon the iron alone there would be a profit of about $500, 000. Now, I oak you, Mr. Editor, ie not this a hugo job? First of all, we were told that the rood would cost 86,000,000 to complete it. Now, it is to coat ?9,000, 000. The Legislature hos given $4,000, 000, (besides the 84,000,000 already spent,) and is to he asked to give $5,000, 000 more. Responsible men offered to build the road for $7,500,000, yet, the $9,000,000 bid was accepted. Here is $1,500,000 thrown nway-absolutely thrown away. Who cnn tell where the demand for money will stop? Will Scott Sc Co. ever be satisfied? Why not spend $20,000,000, and then the commissions will be twice ns large? I say that tho whole business is a job from beginning to end. It must be stopped, and I cali on you, sir, to expose it to the eye of the people. Let them see tho way in which they are being bamboozled. Let us see whether the Legislature will give Scott & Co. the spending of many more mil? lions in which they have no share. It is proper for me to add that Scott alone is responsible for making this $9, 000,000 contract, Mr. George S. Came? ron, the banker, of your city, and Gen. Harrison, tho President of tho Blue Ridge Railroad, who, with Scott, are members of tho Executive Committee, did all that men could do to have the lowest responsible bid accepted. They were powerless. Scott for tho State, und Mayor Pillsbury for Charleston, repre? sent about niueteen-tweutieths of the stock of the company, and can work things as they please. Tho other direc? tors of the road eau do nothing, and tho sooner they leave so rotten II concern the better. They cannot afford to ba asso? ciated with Scott, who wields all the in? fluence and enjoys al! tho sweets, while they must sham the public responsi? bility. SOCIAL EQUALITY ZN THE NOBTH.-On no spot in the United States is the colored race so well off as in the South. These people have been taught that the North is their Paradise; but thoso who havo tried tell us that they would prefer to be slaves iu the South to such free? dom and equality as they aro allowed to enjoy in tho North. Indeed, there is at tho North an inveterate race prejudice against the black man that is not con? fined to parties. Radical Ohio voted 50,000 majority against negro suffrage in that State; Michigan, moro radical still, voted it dowu by even a larger majority. Badical love for the black man is a hol? low sham. They love him nt the South, because they eau uso him to injure the South and make that section vote tho radical ticket. If n colored man doubts it, lot him go to Boston or to Washington and try to dine at Sumner's or Butler's tables, or associate with their guests in their parlors. Tho innocent colored man, relying upon their professions to carry? out such u purpose, would be shown tho door, and probably kicked out of it. ! Au example of how tho North feels on this subject of social toleraucennd equal j ity, has lately been furnished in New I York. Somo weeks since, tho editor of the A nti-Slavery Standard addressed some letters to the principal hotels of tho Im? perial City, in order to procure lodgings for a lady of Massachusetts, having for? tune, intelligence and education, and also for her son, a young gentleman who lind received a liberal education, both slightly colored. The following aro the replies that ho received: St. Nicholas-"Never received such a request before. The inquirers would do better to apply in person." Metropolitan-"Very sorry, but im? possible to comply; should lose most likely all our guests if we did so." Astor House-"Impossible." Hoffman House-"Will send au an? swer." Everett House-"Tho proprietor is in Massachusetts; will send au answer on his return on Saturday." St. James-Sends a letter refusing. Brevoort House-Sends a letter re? fusing. Fifth Avenue-"Will givo an answer another time." Westminster-"Not possible. All our guests would leave if we did so." Clarendon-"Impossible to make any promise, for we are at this moment fall. Besides, our guests aro for tho most part persons who spend part of each year with us, and are not going and coming, as in other hotels."-Mobile Register. An electrical blasting machine has been invented, and was successfully tested last week in San Francisco. The advan? tages claimed for it are: First, safety. Nofusois used, and tho blast can bo fired from any distance. Second, twelve or fifteen blasts oan bo fired simulta? neously and withont danger. It will work either with nitro-glycerine or pow? der. It can be used as a submarine or land battery. DECIIEASE OF THE N ECHOES.-Dr. Rob? ertson, a distinguished citizen of Texas, informs tho Galveston News that ho has taken pains to keep a record of tho vital statistics of Washington County, and the result shows that whilo tho white popu? lation has increased in tho usual ratio, tho negroes have diminished in number nearly ten per cent, per annum in the past four years. JE* O O ?Et 1 lt? m. mt . SKOKXHO TOBACCO.-Mr. Seegers bas presented as with several packages of Pilkinton's extra floe "Fruits'and Flow? ers" smoking tobaeccM-a fresh ?apply of which bas just beett received. The manufacturer claims for this brand seve ! ral pleasant features, and smokers fully ooincide with him in the claim. "THE MOUNTAIN LABORED, " ETC. After a considornblo amount of wind and a clash or two of thunder, the clonds opened and u few drops of rain fell, yes? terday, about 2 o'clook. The gardens in this vicinity are completely burnt up, while serious fears sre entertained of tho com crop. Passengers over the Green? ville Railroad report excellent showers along that route, yesterday. A young flood would be acceptable here. EXTERMINATION.-Forney is shocked nt a speaker who said, at the late meet? ing in Memphis, that "extermination is the doom of the negro." But tho remark is true. Extermination is tho negro's doom, extermination, not by tho hand of violence, but by tho competition, in la? bor, between intelligence ond ignorance, j economy and wastefulness, industry and indolence. Yes, extermination is tho negro's fate, and he can sadly shake his kinky looks at radicalism, and say "thou didst it." MAT OF THE CITY.-We have received from A. Y. Lee, Esq., a copy of his "Ward Map of the City of Columbia," which, after a careful examination, wo pronounce as near correct as it is possi? ble) to have anything of tho sort, in these variable times-that ie, when there is such a transfer of property continually ?oing on. This map is neatly put np on rollers, and, aside from its usefulness, will provo an ornament to au office, pas? sage or dining-room. Mr. Leo will com? mence the delivery of copies to sub? scribers this morning. A card ispnblisbed in another column, from Miss M. A. Bnie, who is genrnuy known ns the Confederate soldiers' friend, in which she announces the re-opening of her school, iu Edgefield. Shu has bad many difficulties to contend with, but has at last succeeded in establishing her institution on a firm basis. Tho children of deceased Cou federate soldiers are taught free of charge; while board can bo obtained in families residing near the school at about S12 a month. She is entitled to, and will doubtless receive, au extensive patronage. Tho planters of tho State: will be pleased to soo that our enterprising fel? low-citizens, Messrs. Blakely it Gibbes, are prepared to engage several thousand bales of cotton, at fair rates. Wo learn that they aro securing crops at twenty tc twenty-five cents per pound, according to timo of delivery. When the rush oi cotton comes in-say in November and Decembor-tho market will, no doubt, decline considerably; and it would bo r sore thing now to securo a good paying price, .without tho risk of low figure! that a good crop may force on ns. Not withstanding our section is suffering with a drought, accounts from most o the cotton States show a healthy state o feeling, and a friend just from Sonth western Georgia informs us that tin crops there are finer than ever knowi before. Tho uso of guano, iniprove< cultivation, &c, will certainly muke th yield this season per acre far ahead o what it bas ever been before. We cai bat think onr planters will respond i Messrs. Blakely & Gibbes' card, and talc ' 'a bird in the hand for two in the bush. ' HOTEL ABBIVAI?S-July 19-Columbi Hotel-J. M. Bligh and lady, S. P Sligh, wife and danghtor, Mrs. Hardan Florida; W. G.
