"She fUrden Spot of 1 he South.99 When "Bks" Shepherd reached Ohi ! onco, on Sun-lay. he was interviewed bva ! Tribune tcpoiler. who brought up the question of Port 11 ova!. What was said ias follows: "How about the 1P3' you are going to founloear Port lioya). South Carolina. "There is nothing of it a- yet" "Bat 1 ha Eastern papers have stated th it you arc going to build, or have laid oat. a city there on a magnificent scale.' "The Eastern paper say a great many thing . 1 h S ?vie y 1 f Gardeners have organized a company in New York, and are looking about for capital to s art them in :iri entornri>e. which is the raisin* of enily vegetables, on a.large scale, lor the , Northern markets." "Have they spoken to you on the subject?" "Yes, sir, they have; but I have done nothing as yet in regard to the matter. Six years ago T was down in that country, and I thought that it wasth j wry garden sjHit of the South, and just the place for raising vegetables lor the Northern uiar-1 ketson a very large scale." "Well then, you are thinking of going intothe enterprise, and laying out a city? "I am studying up the matter, but i have come to no conclusion." Whatever "Boss" "Shepherd's idea may be about founding a new city at or near Port Royal, be or the Society of Gardeners, if such society exists, have hit ihe nail on the head when they talk about coming to this section for the purpose of raising early vegetables on a large scale for the Northern markets. No location in the South is better adapted for this purpose than the Sea Island5' in this county, and skilled gardeners from ihe north who could adapt their operations to the changed climate, where they can raise garden truck during every month in the year, could not fail to make a profitable investment. In fact "ihere's millions in it," especially as there are ample facilities to ship produce bv steamers direct from Port Royal to New York. The advent of these gardeners would mark a new era in the agriculture of these islands, and we should lik-e Mr, Shepherd to do something in regard to this matter without delay. Raise that capital and send us the Society of Gardeners. What gave rise to this interview, we suppose, the fact that Mr. A. R. Shep herd's name appears as an incorporator of the South Carolina Land and Improvement Co., who are interested somewhat in Spring Island. A New Railroad. Mr. Johnson of South Carolina, is in the city for the purpose or solieting subscriptions to survey the route for a railroad ir on Spartanburg to Augusta, via Laureusville, Ninety-Six an! Edgefield. The counties along the route have agreed to subscribe for the survey, and Mr. Johnson hopes that Augusta will do her share. He has a map of the section through which the proposed road is to pass, which he will be happy to show to citizens.? Augusta Chronicle. This is the route wo have so repeatedly urged as being one of commercial necessity, and which ?ooncr or later the sections through which it runs will find advantageous a* bringing them into communication by air line to the harbor of Port Royal, and which would rid them of the present monopoly of transportation which is ta ken advantage of by the extortionate i rates charged by the Greenville and Co- | lurubia R. R., now their only line of com-; tuunication with the sea l>oard. Port j Royal must become the entrepot for the j interior of our State. Georgia might as well take pattern j by South Carolina in the number of com-! mittee e'erks employed in the House of Representatives. Georgia has fifty-four at seven dollars per day; South Carolina only five at five dollars per day. Who ! would believe that a democratic government would be so extravagant? " The Indiana school system employs j 2,000 officers iu its management. It ed- ! ucates m>re than half a uiil'ion children j and costs 4,OOAOOO annually. The Superintendent argues in his report that in a great degree the future welfare of the S'ate depends upon the normal school. The greatest defect in the system com is! as the result of the employment of novices as instructors of children. The greatest need of the schools is thoroughly . trained teachers." In this State there appears to be a desire to abolish the normal school, audyei .a similar defeet exists in our school sys-! tern. ? TORT ROYAL. Three Hundred Miles nearer St. Louis thaiu New York is. The establishment of a new naval station at Port Rf>ya\ which is to be the \ rendezvous of a large |>ortion the Lmted States fleet, is attracting renewed atten- j tiou to it? importance both in a naval an l commercial point of view. It is by a'l <odU:> iue l>cst and mo>t capacious harbor or. the Attautie coasj, and on acwv.nt t i <ia< fin an ? iHM?1*??' mil ill of its superior alvantige and nearness to St. Louis is destined in the near future to control a lar^e share of the imports and exports ot the We-ternand Northwestern States. Vessels drawing 25 feet of water cnn couie in over the bar at any time without a pilot, and sh'ps can come alongside and take carg-e* from cars and escape the oneroui eha ges with which the epoit and import trade is taxed in Eastern aeanor.s. The distance by rail to New Vork l om Sc. J.ouis is 1,20) miles and to Port R ?yal NST miies, the latter being over 300 miles, the nearest route to the sea.

Bradley presented a petit'on praying that instructions be issued o Mr. Massev, road overseer, to work Whitehall Ferry and tt.am l-land road. It was considered by the board that they had no knowledge that it was a highway at present, and that the proper way foi petitioners to proceed would be to pre sent a petition to the board to lay out such a road. The road in question is the one that Mr. Kendall, through whose land it passes, has recently closed, he holding that it had only been a road to Kaiu's Island on sufferage. The con sideration of the matter was postponed until the Sth day of March, so as to give an opportunity for all parties in interest to attend the board. The auditor made application to the board tor the purchase of records, the private property of the clerk of the court, which he state I were of the utmost importance for use in his office. The books in question were a complete list of lands sold by the Direct Tax Commissioners in this county together with plats of the land prepared by Mr. Judd. The audi' tor explained their utility, and the board decided to give it their consideration at a future time. They will cost $ 100. At a previous meeting, it being understood that it was simply a map of the county, h J hoard bad refused to purchase. O.i Tuesday afternoon the road overseers presented their bills for about twenty days service each, which after being cut down were pro-rated and paid. Quite a number of other claimants waited anxiously until evening, when the board de c'ded to pro rate the claims of those pre sent and issued the following checks : Thos. II. Wheeler $199.75; William Josiah $2.40; Marcus Simmons $5.70 Joseph Cohen 820.04; Monday William $23.19; W. M. French $19.50; Richard Simmons $7.20; A. W.

The tax bill for 1877 has been tabled in the House by a vote of 49 to 30. The committee of claims re ported a bill for the relief of E. B. Wesley, which provides for the payment of $479,00'i, to be paid by a tax levy of five and a half mills in seven years. In 1872 by a loan of this amount less the accrued interest the State was enabled to redeem and cancel, two millions four hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars, of bonds of the Blue llidge Railroad, guaranteed by the State. The claim is perfectly legitimate, but this bill has evidently been delayed too late in the session for anything to be accomplished. Articles ot impeachment have been - opted by the House against Judge Montgome^' Moses of the seventh circuit. The charges are wilful neglect of duty; that he has compelled per-euiptorily public officers to violate law by issuing evidence of public indebtedness, contrary to law: that he has repeatedly corruptly demanded and received from officers of his courts public money entrusted to them, promising to interpose his judicial power to screen and protect them from punishment. The trial before the Senate wa* j fixed for Wednesday. Hon. R. B. Elliott: will conduct the prosecution, assisted by I the members of the board of managers ot j which he is chairman. The bill to change the circuits, by , which it was proposed to legislate Judges- j i elect \V. J. Whipper at d ex-Gov Mo- j ses out of their positions, has been tabled I | ! in the Senate by a vote of 17 to 9. j The consideration of the repott of the i committee on Representative J. D.

Washington's birthday was celebrated at the Sea Island Hotel, by a balj given by the Washington Steam Fire En. gine Co. The hall was most tastefully decorated, and the followers of Terpsichore chased the fleeting hours until chan tieleer heralded the dawn of another day. The supper at midnight, was a credit to theciterer, and taking into consideration the music, the dancing, the supper, and those few remarks of Mr. Lock wood, this anniversary of the Washington Steam Fire Engine Co. will be looked hack to as one of the pleasant events of this ceutet nial year.

I judge from the charracter of the communication that " citizen v is a person of high morals, and consequently would make no statement detrimental fo the reputation of anyone, and would never stoon to base so grave a charge upon mere rumor or gossip. If this I e so. why does " A citizen " show such a lack of moral courage and hide behind a notn de plume ? His information must be poorly founded, or the communication is the result of suspicion or in a'ice, or else ''citizen 'is not what he pretends to be, but is either a hypocrite or mo al coward. If "citizen'' will state under oath what he eharges, or give his source of "information a ;<d belief" so that the charge can be sustained by witnessess, we will move upon the enemy's works at once " and " allow no guilty man to escape, " i but unless citizen has the courage to do this he should hold his peace. Cit'zen will find that I will go as far, j and do as much as needed to correct the evil wheu it is put iu such form as will I make it appear more than gossip or ru- j mor. ! I reply to citizen, beacause I desire to get at the truth of the charge he make j and from no other motive, but under or- ( ditiarv circumstances would treat anony J timiiQ MrrosiiniirfolitS with COIlte l)t.
