Governor Soott ia still pre-eminent in this interest? ing drama, und is given nil thc promi? nence by "Lux" which he BO richly merits: ( ^ ' COLUMBIA, S: 0., July 20. ' To Tan EDITOR OF THE NEWS: Since the arrival of the News, of Saturday, containing the expose of the machina? tions ol the Blue Ridge Railroad Ring, his. Excellency Governor Scott has been as oross as a bear with a soro head. No wonder. It is not pleasant to have a pro? fitable little game held up to publio scorn ; nor is it any consolation to know that there is a' good chance of $1,000,000 (which bis Excellency expected to make) slipping through one's fingers. Tho whole radical ring here was struck dumb with astonishment when it was found that Soott intended to gobble np so big a share of tho party spoils. The under? strappers are mad, and Scott will either have to go snacks with his followers or make another contract in whioh there will be less room for stealing. GOVERNOR SCOTT'S REILLY. I ob not know whether Governor Scott intends to attempt any reply to the ques? tions so pithily put by the News. You might have saved yourself the trouble, in any case. No one can disprove the main allegations of my previous letter; but in order to satisfy some of the Quid Nuncs hero, I will say a few words in re? gard to tho amount of tho bids of the different contractors, the responsibility of the different persons offering to do the work, and the reasons why I charge Go? vernor Soott with having a pecuniary in? terest-direct or indirect-in the con? tract awarded to Cresswell, (or Crissvill, I don't know which,) Patterson and Sel? lers. THE BIDS. I have before me, as I write, a detailed statement of the price at whioh eacL part of the work was proposed to be done by the different contractors. This you can have if you want it. At present, 1 will only give the gross amount in rou ne numbers of each bid : J. M. Christy & Co.$10,200,00( Dudley. Bardwell & Co. 9,250,00( Cresswell, Sellers & Co. 10,000,00( D. Tyler & Co. 8,750,00( J. A. Hunt. 8,200,00( B. D. Hassell & Co. 7,600,00( J. D. Ohamplin & Co. 8,800,00( Engineer's estimate. 7,000,001 These are not the exact figures, bu they are near enough. Now, I contend that Christy's bid was only put in to bi higher than Cresswell & Sellers' bid. I was offered by a Mr. Kelly, representing Christy Sc Co., who, after the ring wai exposed, was charged to his face by Mr ChampUn with being "interested" in thi bid of Cresswell & Sellers. Kelly ap pealed to Colonel Low, chief engineer o the company, to say whether Christy'i bid was not a bona fide one. Colone Low made no answer. Kelly then denice that he was "interested" in Cresswell S Patterson's contract. A few minutes be fore, he had told another gentleman tba he had an interest in Cresswell':* con traot. So muoh for Christy. As I have already said, the amount given show the original bids. Whei Scott told the contractors that the bond must not be touched, and that mono; must be found to carry on the work fo* nine or twelve months, those who hai not been in tho secret (that is all bu Creswell & Co.,) claimed the right t? modify their bids. All of them put ii second bids, except ll. D. Hassell, win joined in with Champliu. Tho seconi bids ran about ten per cent, higher thai the first bids, except Champlin's, whiol was increased very little, if at all, leavin? it by far the lowest offer. Mind you, ul the contractors were now on the sam footing. But what did Scott do? H deliberately proposed to Cresswell Sc Cc to take the contract at about $9,000,00t and they consented to take it. Here ar the naked facts. Tho work, by chicaner and double dealing, is given out r $9,000,000, and I assert here, and it cai not be gainsaid, that the whole work ca be done, and done well, for $7,000,00 oash, or 7,500,000 in first mortgag guaranteed ooin bonds. There is abm $2,000,000 profit to be made as the jo stands. What will be Scott's share? A his time is short and ho has other iroi in the firo, (State bonds, bauk bills, lan sales, &o.,) he may bo satisfied to tak only a million ! Who will now say thi Scott is good for nothing? As Cresswell it Co. reduced their bi from $10,000,000 to $9,000,000, a corre; ponding valuation must be made in tl: charges for iron, Sec., contained in ni first lotter. This would bring tho ire down to about $120 nor ton-only 830 ton moro than the prico at whioh it cn be delivered at Anderson. Thoro is proportionate difference in the charge f< chairs and spikes, which will stand i twelve cents and thirteen nnd-a-hn cents a ponnd, costing about five mul? hall cents in New York. WEBE THE CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBLE PE SONS ? I will tell you all I know about tl firms which offered to do tho work. Of the firm of D. Tylor & Co., Gener Tyler is the head, and it was represent? by his Bon, who was formerly Superi ?o, ? i ????aw ?(???? neoted with General Tylor, and would, it is believed, Lave been interested in the B!uo Ridgo contract, ".thal J. A. Hunt, of North Carolina, is said to be highly responsible as a contractor. He was present himself,'and was also represented by Major Guliok, of ibis | flaco. Colonel Childs, of this oity, cnn, boliovo, givo a satisfactory account of Mr. Huna, and the large interests which ho represents. B. D. Hasel 1, now of Now York, isa native of Charleston, and comes from one of the host families in the State. On leaving college, he choose the profession of civil engineer, and has for more than twenty years boen connected with rail? roads and other publio works. Mr. Hasoll was Chief Engineer of the Quin? cy and Toledo Railroad, Chief Engineer and General Superintendent of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad, and of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, and during the war, was Presi? dent of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. For tho past two years, he bas been Genoral Agent of the Great Southern Freight Lune via Charleston, C. Mr. Hasell has the highest testi? monials, is a first-rate engineer, and can make as close an estimate of the value of work as any niau in the country. He had good backers in New York, and could have given security for twice the amount of the contract. *I am told positively that Mr. Hascll's bid was injected be? cause "it was so much lower than the other bids." I say that it was rejected because Scott was not a partner in the concern. J. D. Champlin has been a railroad contractor for many years. He built the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, did consi? derable work iu Louisiana, had a heavy contract on the North Missouri Railroad, and is now carrying out a largo contract in Now jersey. lie brought lotter.s from prominent bankers in Now York, and had a letter of introduction to Gov? ernor Scott from General Sherman. No usc. Dr. Scott was not in the ?hop. Tho only persons of whom I can learn but little are J. M. Christy & Co., and Cresswell, Patterson & Sellers. They are behoved to be Pennsylvania men. As I said, Christy's bid was a mere blind. I think I have made it very clear that there were four responsible contractors who offered to do the work at from $1, 000,000 to $1,500,000 less than the price at which it was awarded to the Pennsylvania firm of Cresswell, Patter? son Sc Co. This is enough for my pur? pose. It is not necessary to rob it in ANOTHER REASON' WHY. One big reason why Scott preferred Cresswell to any other man, I forgot to mention. Mr. Champlin proposed that the $4,000,000 guaranteed bonds be de? posited with a National Trust Company in the North, so that they could not be touched by the contractor or tho Go vernor until tho proper timo came. Cresswell Sc Co., on the contrary, said that they were willing that the $4,000, 000 should be lodged in the hands of Governor Scott and Stale Treasurer Parker. Cresswell Sc Co. took the contract. WHY SCOTT MUST BE A r AR TN ER IN TH! CONTRACT. I have not socn tho documents, and do not kuow what the figures are, bat I say that Scott is to h ave a plum out of the Blue Ridge pie, for these reasons: The work could be done, and was offered to be done at $7,500,000, aud was awarded at $9,000,000; Cresswell Sc Co. were allowed to negotiate with Soott, whilo the other contractors wore not; Cresswell & Co.'s bid was not accepted, but Scott told them they could have tho job at $9,000,000, aud they took it; no similar opportunity was given the other contractors; Cress well Sc Co. were in constant communica? tion with Scott, and squatted in his back office tho day tho bids were opened; lob bying, whispering and riding about with Cresswell Sc Co. was going on all tho time. These are my reasons, and they satisfy me, as I believe they will satisfy tho pooplo of the State, who remember the manipulation of the State bonds and bills of the Bank of the State, and who know that, there is only one way in which a man can make hundreds of thousands of dollars out of $3,500 a year. Who would not be tho radical Governor of a South em State? FIAT JUSTIT1A. I have said my say, and said it without malice. This whole Government is a plundering, pilfering ring, whoso aim is to make money quick, no matter how. I know it, and you know it. My only object in writing theso letters is to show 1 up ono of the biggest jobs on record-a little brother of tho Pacilio Railroad job; and to ask whether even our present Le jislaturc will allow Scott to have full swing, aud pilo upon tho State a load of debt which uo people can bear. I do not bolievo that their stomachs will staud it, and if this bo so, thou will Cresswell, Patterson Sc Co., and their siloutpartner, como to unmitigated grief. Tho tax? payers must remember that every mil? lion of dollars wo spend represents $70, 000 a year in taxation. They can readily see thut $10,000,000 for the Blue Ridgo Ring means an addition of fifty per cent, to our present tuxes. This is the wholo matter in a nut-shell. The PHOENIX, to-day, pitches into Scott very handsomely. I leavo to-morrow for the mountaius, and shall not be back for a fortnight, when, if necessary, I will again present my respects to his Excellen? cy Governor Soott. LUX. I o to to look imparti there, and write ti conaeqnenoes. I with his request. 14fif$r7to^ above partisan considerations and feel? ings, and give io print a fair sfcatemont Of all thftt could be seen. I sav.it now,, as I wrote it then, with a sickened heart, that we have'the most corrupt Govern? ment in the world. It is run by rings. There is no moneyed interest in the land that is without its ring in Washington. They fill the hotels, throng the avenue, and orowd the lobbies. Tho old Greek? with his fabled lantern, would die ex? hausted in his search for one honest man. 1 would exhaust my hour and your pa? tience were I to attempt even to enu? merate these interests. We have the railroad rings, the land-jobbing rings, the Indian Bureau rings, whiskey riugs, the protection rings-that branch off in Qvery conceivable direction. And they were intriguing, caucussing, boring, and, through wine and women, baiting with? out cessation. I do not wish to be understood os charging that a majority of our Repre? sentatives in Congress are dishonest men. On the contrary, I was surprised to find that, living in this atmosphere and under these influences, there were so many pure and upright men. But I will say, without fear of successful contradiction, that adding the incapables to the rogues they made the majority. What bet? ter can you expeot under our sybt*?ra of selection? The question is no longer, "Is ho capable; is ho honest; is ho a friend to his country?" It is, on the contrary, "Is he duly nominated by my party, and is he sound ou my peculiar principles?" Not tho least disheartening part of all tins is to be found in tho utter indiffer? ence with which the public at large re? gard all this. It is no longer a shame to steal. IL has ceased to be a dishonor to defraud. I saw Senators, who came to Washington with scarcely money enough to pay boarding-houso bills, rolling over the street in splendid equipages, and en? tertaining society in palatial residences. They are now millionaires, and not only tolerated, but followed, flattered, Bought and sued by men and women who would be honest were it the fashion to affect that virtuo; and if you turn from men who have made their fortunes out of their places, it is to stare at men who bought their way in. These Senatorial chairs are put up at auction, and knookod down to the highest bidders. The long? est purse brains the opponent, and the Hon. Ingot or the Hon. Greenback stalks in, with just brains enough to make up, through a sale of votes, the money he has expended in securing his scat. Old Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, called on the Harpers, one day, lighted a good segar, took up a dozen numbers of Punch, and took/his ease, as kindly as Falstaff at his inn. One of the Harper brothers brought a dozen religious ex? changes, and asked him. if he would not like to take them home to read on Sun? day. "Oh, Harper!" exclaimed the old divine, "how could yon? Here I am with a fine si gar and this genial Punch, at peace with all the world, feeling good natured and thinking woll of my fellow creatures. But if I should read those papers, I would soon get irritated, cross and disgusted with human nature. No, I don't want them." A LIBERAIJ CANDIDATE.-Tho Mountain Home, Talladega, Ala., says: McLomore, who announces himself tho Old Line Whig, Conservative Peace and Union Man, Teachablo Democrat, Moderate Republican, Sensible Man, Patriot, and White and Black Man's candidate for Congress in this District, was subjected to tho following questions, by one of the sturdy yeomanry, at one of his first appointments: "Say, are you a Democrat?" "No." "Are you a radical?" "No." "What are you, then?" "Nothing, and d-n littlo of that." TnE NEWPORT LJONZSB.-Miss Ida Lewis, tho young woman who saves ship? wrecked mariners at Newport, R. I., has become such a lioness that last week sh? had, ono day, 100 visitors, and another day 150. Of course, she has no time to do anything except to roceivo those who come to look at her. To crown all, it is stated in the newspapers that "souio body is engaged upon her autobio? graphy." An autobiography written by somebody else is certainly a literary uo velty, and ought to increaso her fame. An editor out West has fallen in love. Just hear what ho says: Wo lovo to see tho blooming rose, in all its beauty dress? ed; we love to hear our friends disclose tho emotions of tho breast. Wo lovo to seo tho cars arrive well ladened at our door; wo love to soo our neighbors thrive, and love to bless tho poor. Wo lovo to see domestic life's uninterrupted joys; wo love all these, yet fur above all that wo ever said, wo love-what every printer loves-to havo subscriptions paid. The authorities of Dresden have set free all the singing birds that were im? prisoned in cages in that city, and hr ? forbidden, under penalty of a fine, tn killing or trapping of tho emancipated songsters.

RB.-Very numerous and ndncted experiments iu Eng ernmny prove that oil cake high, as a manare,'whether .^itself, or in combination with hot ' manares: iU ist <adai>tea 1 lo ail hia?ud oropa. aira?. iLayinfraioa ali, tho ingredients necessary to. tho growth of plants, and,' especially, nineo it contains io large quantity of those most necessary ingredients, nitrogen, phosphoric acm and potash. The oil in the seed and in the oil oake contributes nothing to its efficacy ns ma? nure. On the contrary, it is rather a hindrance since it retards decay. It fol? lows, therefore, that the oake is greatly superior to the seed, and that the more thoroughly pressed the cake is the bet? ter. Oil cake is (from the largo quantity of nitrogenous matter and the ease with which it decomposes,) essentially a stimu? lating manure, like Peruvian guano. The following table gives tho value of rape seed cake na compared with other valued manures. Cotton seed cake is still richer, both because the cotton seed is more nitrogenous, and becauso tho cotton need cake is free from hull: 1 cwt. rape need oil cake, equal to 18-20 cwt. stable dung. 1>2 owt. rape seed oil cake, equal to 1 owt. bone dust. 3 owt. rape seed oil cake, equal to 1 cwt. good Peruvian guano. There can be no doubt that tho rela? tive value of cotton seed cake is greater than indicated by this table. As PROVENDER.-As a flesh producer, and therefore as food for growing or for laboring animals, oil cake is probably superior to the grains. According to the experiments of Lawes, the distinguished English Agri? culturalist, tho manure deprived from stock varies immensely in value accord? ing to tho nature of tho food on which the stock is fed. -The manure of stock fed on cotton seed cake stands first on his list, beiug more thou thirty times as valuable as the manure from an equal weight of turnips, and four times more valuable than the manure? derived from an equal weight of Indian corn. Tho following is Mr. Lawe'o table, showing the actual gold value of the ma? il nre derived from 1 ton (2,000 lbs.) of different foods: Cotton seed cake, (hulled) $27.86; rape seed cake, $21.01; linseed cake, $10.72; maltdnst, $18.21 ; lentils, $16.51; linseed, $15.65; tares, $15.75; beans, $15.75; peas, $13.38; locust beans, $4.81; oats, $7.40; wheat, $7.08; Indian corn, $6.65; malt, $6.65; barley, $6.32; clover hay, $9.64; meadow hay, $6.43; oats straw, $2.90; wheat straw', $2.68; barley straw, $2.25; potatoes, $1.50; mangolds, $1.07; Swedish turnips, 91c. ; common turnips, 86c. ; carrots, 86o. There actual values aro of course only correct for England, bat tho relative values are of universal application, and for this reason, this table deserves to be studied by every farmer. The relative values seem to be closely connected with the amount of nitrogenous matter con? tained in the food. It is quito possible that this indirect method of using the cotton-seed cake as manure may prove most profitable to the farmer. If so, the use of cotton seed may largely replace the uso of corn in stock feeding. CONCLUSIONS.-The great value of cot? ton seed, as manure for corn, is well known to every farmer. Its value also as provender, when stock will eat it, is also well known. Now, there can be no doubt that for both these purposes, the oil cake is greatly superior to the seed. As manure, it decomposes readily, and may bo applied to all kinds of crops, alone or in combination with other fer? tilizers. As food, it is oaten readily by stock, and is easily digestible. I believo that a given quantity of seed hulled and pressed into cake, though greatly di? minished in weight, will go farther, both as manure and as provender, than tho seed from whioh it was pressed. JOS. LECONTE, M. D. Lindley Murray, whose grammar is so curiously incorrect, is said to have resi? ded for the space of two-and-twenty years in one front parlor without once going out, attended upon by a kindly old maid, enamored of his principles and his proterpluperfects, living chiefly on boiled mutton and turnips, and solacing himself in tho intervals of conjugating verbs by grinding a barrel-organ.

We much prefer to back npder the bright light of axbap d?lier, .and.there enjoy such bliss, (if such were our good fate;; or lo en??y a-delight fol ictc-a-tcUi in the parlor ot twilight; but none of your stolen bliss for UR, for it seldom happens otherwise that, whilst you are in the midst of this undescribable pleasure, some third party will intrude, aud for the nonce banish all your delightful thoughts in the fear that you have unwittingly done or said some? thing which said third party has in his or her possession. We only wish our? selves a woman nuder one circumstance, and that is when young women meet, and bid each other good-bye-a kiss to commence with, and one, (perhaps two,) nt the parting. When we seo a sweet, blooming young creature kiss an old maid, we feel like exclaiming, "wasting her fragiance on the desert air." There aro different kinds of kisses; there is tho kiss of true love, looked for between the maiden and hor lover-(swcot, intoxicat iugly sweet;) there is the kiss of puro motherly affection, deep and true; there is tho fond sisterly kiss; and there is the mere kiss of form-kissing only to be polite, whilst perhaps there aro envy und malice existing between |tho persons who ure thus degrading this lovely and beautiful attribute of Immunity. We have an indistinct recollection of first being kissed by a pretty young girl. How tbnt kiss ripened into 10,000 kisses. How wo kept the matter up, and what a glo? riously nice time we had generally. How we became .separated. How we met some time after. How we then mutually enjoyed each other's company, and how we finally wound up wtih our kissing, but are still very great friends. Some people don't know how to kiss at all; for such we have not a mere thought. lu some nations, it is customary for men to kiss; what an absurd idea. Man should rulo by strength, both moral and physi? cal; by his hand, with which ho grasps yours in friendly intercourse; by his hand with which he strikes. Woman's all powerful w eapon is her lips. For those who intend kissing, we have this advice: Do it nicely, it is an art, a science, and a decidedly pleasant one. A COLORED LAWYER ADMITTED TO THE WASHINGTON BAR.-Yesterday morning, in tho Criminal Court, Judge Fisher, Mr. A. K. Browue, made a motion for tho admission of Professor George B. Vashon to the bar of tho Criminal Court, and Judge Fisher directed his name to be entered. Judge F. remarked that tho rules required motions for admission to tho bar to be made in the court in gene? ral term, but as the Supremo Court of the United States had decided in the 1 case of Brandley that Criminal Court was a separate court, he would take the re sponibility of admitting him. Professor Vashon is a well known colored man, and bas heretofore prac? ticed law in New York, and is a member of the bar of the United States Supremo Conrt, and recently han been connected with the Freedmen's Bureau.
