Cuba and St. K DomlugO. tl
The war fever is abating. The ?
government cannot respond to the 11
excitement of the people, being ap- ^
parently convinced that there is no 5
grounds for a demand for the rendi- v
tion ol the Virginius, she bearing 0
about the same relation to Spain and j *J
her rebels as the Alabama did to us. 0
In regard to the executions we will .
probably be forced to accept the same 1
satisfaction as may be demanded by 0
. Great Britain. Meantime the desire r
for the acousition of Cuba has been 1
reawakened all over the country and '
the preparations fora war now being c
made will not be lost, as congiees will 1
not again allow our navy and forts to
relapse into their former condition of
delapidation. *
Now is the time for Grant to revive j"
his St. D 'mingo proprsition. If we j
had been in possession of that island
the Spaniards would have bten far
more cautious about insulting us.
No part of Grant's administration "
has so commended itself to us as the |
effort to obtain a foothold on the West )
Indies. It could have been done peace- :
fully and cheaply by his scheme, and j,
many of the same people who opposed (
it are now clamoring for an expensive ,
war to obtain Cuba. We hope the ,
St. Domingo treaty will be revived j
and ratified during the coming session.
The Chicago Road?Charleston and
Savunnah. !
Both these cities hltvo suddenly
waked up to the fact that a railroad is
in Amtemplation from Chicago to the
South Atlantic. Neither of them had '
a delegate in the convention held in ?
Chicago last month, but their editors
ruiid theDroceedinss?without publish- !
ing them, however.
Since then a convention was held at
Warm Springs, N. C.. in favor of a
road from Lake Erie to the South At- |
lantic, the proceedings of which we
gave two weeks ago.
In neither of these conventions were (
Charleston and Savannah alluded to as ,
ports on the South Atlantic worthy of j
a moment's consideration as the termi- (
nus of a railroad whose purpose was to j
bring the products of the Great West .
' to the sea for shipment to foreign coun- (
tries. ,
Not a man in either convention
thought of any other port than ours. y
Our neighboring cities would furnish ,
to such a road valuable customers, ,
they were connections to be made as j
of course, just as it would be well to (
interest Columbia in the road, and seek (
Augusta as a good distributing point, j
Hut Cbaileston and Savannah were no j
more considered as ports than were ?
Columbia or Augusta. <
When the time to subscribe for stock t
in the Chicago road conies we have no j
doubt but that Charleston will be .
urged to give a helping baud. So will ; ;
Savannah. We hope they will do so; (
they ought to do so, for although uei- 1
ther of tbem have the harbor for which ^
the west is seeking, yet they cannot \
fail to he bent fitted by the connection. ,
But just as sure as the Chicago road t
is built it will cotue through Babun \
Gap to Audersou, tlieuce Augusta and t
Port Royal. j
The Body Politic.
In the present condition of state affairs
it is aptly illustrate! that ua little know- j
ledge is a dangerous tiling." The child t
when it has commenced t? walk, often j.
overestimates its strength, by which fie- |
queut falls are sttstaiifd, sometimes resuiting
in permanent deformity. Xot t
entirely inapplicable are the writings of j]
the editor of 1742, concerning the mi.? c
takes and corruptions of that day, to the ^
present tiuie. It can he as tru y said ?
now, as then, that the body politic agrees jin
most instances with the natural body, t
and that when is L- out of order almost
every uuto believer Uiinselt to he a physician.
A carol id observation of the
actions of many of our legislators, and j?
tliose who are, ami would be styled leadets
confirm this position, especially since
the web uf fiuanrial troubles has com- (]
inciiced to draw them inta the vortex of U1
ruin. With a limited experience; the c,
leadings of many dishonest men who to j,
gratify their personal ends would sink e.
every patriotic feeling; with but little
authority amongst their neighbors and j,[
constituents a ad no in influence abroad, (j

e, hoes, sheep, etc., are too insignifi- co
ant to uotice. Of the thousands visit- he
ig the grounds n<?t fifty knew where to or

hat there were fifty farmers at the fair at
rho were there from any interest in their ui
ecupation. They know that it is a hum- fit
mg. and neither scud their products or
ouio themselves.
The fiict is that a large ground is kept P<
n which to collect every year a crowd h<
at of which gamblers, showmen, cheats, P'
oughs. swindlers, and prostitutes may
unke a prey. The racing is almost the c'
inly attraction, and the sooner the whole tl

Southing Needed. n
The United States government owns
sites on Port Royal harbor for light* T
louses and fortifications. During the "
ate war this harbor was a great naval o
lepot, and without it, the blockade could ^
lever have bijeti maintained. If we Cl
diouid have a war with any naval power n
his harbor would be no less important, c
Especially would it be so in case of a se- c
rious Cuban complication. The governucnt
would need it at once for a rendezvous
for the navy and as a coaling station.
Yet in spite of its importance in .
war, to say nothingofconimercein peace, 0
we have neither fortifications or suitable o
lighthouses. We hope that our repre- P
sentatives in congress will sec to it that "
iction is tuken early in the coming ses- j!
sion to remedy this neglect. a

A Warning to Corrupt Officials. h
At last, after years of delay and the j
exhaustion of all possible tricks to baffle j;
justice Wiii. M. Tweed lias taken his t
place among convicted felons. He was c'
sentenced on Saturday last to twelve 1
years in the Touibs and twelve thousand ?
Jollars fine for corrupt malfeasance in' tt
.rffice. This man's seeming immunity a
duee the time of the exposure of his
mormons robberies was one of the c
scandalous array of facts which gave rise t]
to the belief abroad, as well as at home
that, in New York, it was only necessary V
to be a rascal on a giant scale to be per- j.
'ectly free from punishment. His sent- \>
Mice sets this scandal at rest, at least so s
ar as Tweed is concerned. Three years a
igo he was the ruling power over a city
if nearly a million of inhabitants* He a
vielded all political authority there ; he
tontroiled the Legislature of the State, ^
ivhethcr Republican or Uemocratic, c

COLUMBIA, Nov. 18. I
Monday night the bill to appropriate !
payment of the expenses of the extra '

ling to accomplish anything in this
rection, when they had the whole bill
ider consideration, the whole section
lating to printing was stricken out;
en the sections providing for the purase
of fuel, stationery etc.. and finally
e bill was trimmed down to a mere
ithing and passed a second reading,
uring the debate, it was shown that
e fuel used ntjthe last session had not

i the biN was recinded, and it passed a
cond reading in better shape. The
nount of the appropriation for pay of
embers and subordinates is seveuty;e
thousand dollars.
The bill to pay for the printing of the
mi ig rat ion reports, supreme court rearts
and thetax papers has passed, both
juses appropriating $125,000 for this
nrnose.
There must be something iu climatic
iangcs. Our Beaufort f'rieuds get on
leir muscle frequently. The voluble
nd good natured Greene got into a
nail state of excitement over the apropriation
bill last evening aud was
ftrdy and willing to meet Humbert of
hrrlingtou outside ''the bar of the house''
'he smiling Hamilton, is perfectly .willig
to stand to his assertions, inside or
utside the "bar of this house"; staid
lyers looks on and smiles with his muial
Dinplucency, but has little to say that is
ot direct to the question under cousidration.
Altogether, with the hnrd work,
specially in the committee rooms,, done
y Senator Suialls, Beaufort has more
ban an average delegation.
November-21V
Meetings have been held fortweevfenigs,
at the state house, for the purpose
f discussing*Cuban prospects. The hall
f the house of representatives was
>ackcd on both occasions, several ladies
eing present. Patriotic speeches were
lade by Judge Mackev, Congressman
'lliot, Judge Hoge, Professor Greener
nd others of the republican party, and
everal by the conservative side of the
louse. As always has been the case on
nch occasions, there was a good deal of
uncombe talk, but no mistaking the
eeling and undercurrent sentiment of
he large assemblage. Our senator and
nngre>sman co mittcd themselves to
he cause of free Cuba.

n entire absence of display of oratory
sual on such occasions, and what sh uld

hat the best method to pursue was that
aught by the experience of other states
hat were found ready to send troops in

or this purpose company commanders

that coast defence be necessary theie
iay be no time lost. The proceeding is
wise one.
The house has adjourned over until
londay evening having finished their
ork for which the extra session was
ailed?excepting the arranging of the
ublic debt. There was an exciting doate
over the bill to limit the tenure of
ffioe for certain state officers to two
ears, upon which no decisive action is to
e reported for this se-sion. The pay
ill for this session has sailed through
lie stormy seas of debate, been mutilated
nd patched, and finally passed; the
?natc to-day rescinded the vote whereby
ivcnty-five thousand dollars printing
loney was knocked out of the bill as it
auie from the house, and as the bill
assed, the printingcompauy will be paid
fty thousand dollars for the wo k of this

If you think of buying a Sewing Machine It will
pay you to examine the records of those now la use
au<l profit by ?t|>crlence. The Wheeler A
Wlldon stands alone as the only Light
fidnnlng Machine, using the Rotary
Hook, making a Lock Stitch, alike on both
sides of the fabric sewed. All shuttle machines
waste power iu drawing the shuttle back after the
stitch is formed, bringlug doublo wear and strain
u|>on both machine and operator, hence while other
machines rapidly wear out, the Wheeler A W11son
lusts a lifetime, ami proves an economical
investment. IX> not believe all that h 'promised by
tiiu1 Cheap" Machine*, you should require proof that
years of use have tested their value. Money once
thrown away cannot be recovered.
Send fur ouc circulars. Machines sold on emy
terms, or monthly payment taken. Old machines
put in order or received in exchange.
