This summer's quiet has not only been in striking contrast to the bustle and strife which pervaded the entire country ' a year ago, but it is quite as likely to I have been a calm preceding a scene of j great political activity during the approaching winter. Since Congress j adjourned in the spring the President has been pursuing the even tenor of his J Way, doiDg what his judgement lead ltiui to think would be for the best interest of the entire country, rather than consulting the behest of a political party. It remains now to be seen what hostile elements arc about to arise iu the future and to combine in opposition to the course which 3Ir. Hayes has adopted in dealing with the South, and it is equally interesting to speculate upon the issues of the next campaign in this State. I ^ I It is not a pleasant task to hold up to public view the. dire and widespread results of crime in high places, but it nevertheless should be done if the publication of the consequences will impress more firmly upon the minds of the people ' *1 the old truth uoout me ?;iSus ui ^u. The trouble is, that the criuiioal is the smallest sufferer of those immediately interested. Thus we see Gillnian, the foiger, after long hypocrisy, standing his punishment with stolidity if uot with fortitude while his wife is sent to the insane asylum and his children are scattered among friends. He had been preparing for the shock, but his refined and affectionate wife w ha had loved and trusted him, succumbed to the trial and went luad with grief and shame. Had death entered that family aud swept both hu:.band and wife away from sorrowing but respecting friends, it would have been a fnr happier fate than the one that has come upon them. ? ? It is said that when the diplomatic representative of the Diaz government was about to leave Washington, after vaiul/ endeavoring to obtain the recognition of his chief as President of Mexico, he expressed great dread of impending trouble between his country and the United States. And the truth is that the perplexing difficulties on the Texan hni>.l.?r arc* fnoirirh to cause*serious appre hension of a bfeach of amicable relations between the two countries. Sitting Bull refuses to accept the condi tionsof peace which the Commissioners offered him, and it must be conceded that the reasons which he gives for his decision arc not without considerable weight, fie has been deceived and robbed by the United States Government and those who have acted for it, and he perfers to stay where he is and see if he cannot do better. Sitting Bull is ofeoursc a savage rascal, but in his talk with the Commissioners he made some very telling points against his more courteous cirilizcd opponents.

Gen. Butler of Mass- ' ackusctts has taken up the case warmly, ' and visited the President a day or two ' ago, io company with Mr. Suialls, to s urge ihe Attorney General to interfere t and have his case brought from the 1 State to the United States courts, on i the ground that Smalls cannot have 1 a fair trial in the State Courts. Attor- t ney-General Deveu.s has investigated s the matter, and has discovered that the c case against Smalls is so strong that e - the charge that he is being persecuted 1 Ka TV? n *\VAcn/?n linn V VtftU IH/W CUnftlLVUi A liv {'I V-1VVUIIVII * in South Carolina has obtained the ' eheck of #500) endorsed by Smalls, and } properly identified, which he accepted as a bribe. Of course the A?.ministration cannot under thc>e circumstances, 11 interfere, and Smalls must face the y music. He will probably be compelled v to give up his scat in the House, and 1 the Republicans will lose a member.? t New York Sun. f The Sim eorrespon tent must surely s have obtained the key to Smalls' char- y acter, else how could he unlock the a chamber "Tull of dead m .n's bones and c all unclcanness,'" with which we at Beau- j I fort are perfectly familiar; and show up c' in a brief paragraph the characteristics of o the man. Smalls has, from the day he obtained ! a factitious greatness, by climbing upon !s tkm ?hoi Mors of the *real heroes who "I ,, % ? f*1 1A ' t ' j the government, from those who did the brave work, and fosscssed the courage but Jacked the low cunning aud the brass thrQugh which he achieved popu'arity; Wen read.v at all times to accept bribes; and the pitiful sum of $.r>000 is but a drop in the bucket, which i?J ? uciu.1 i.? .iiint iu uv iiiitu uvci) unit* uu ntp n.-?xv,v? to respond to t lie call of ayes and nays, before his heavy tones could be heard. It is simple truth, known to a thousand witnesses, that no election has been held in Beaufort County since 18GS, which has not brought money to his pocket, under the guise of "expenses incurred," enough to enable him to sport fine horses, gay equipage, with corresponding outlay. Yet the moment he is cornered, the cry of per ecution *s raised for a shield, as the juggler creates a mist to hide his most marvelous tricks. Verily the "spoon" man is "the right man in the right place," and our only special wonder is whether he secured his quid pro quo from Smalls before he "took up the case warmly;" for if he did not he may have to take a second mortgage on what the State is pretty likely to be speedily in possession of? both body and goods of his client. Seriously?is it not about time to stop prating about "not having a fair trial" in the courts of this State, when not a case, capital or trifling, has been tried for a year past, in the just decision of which all parties have not heartily acquiesced? We have no shadow of doubt that the result of Smalls trial will be viewed in the same way. The Columbia correspondent of the Huhi<lcbhi<i lima gives a graphic sketch of the change which a twelve month has wrought in our affa'-s and then states so clearly the position occu * ? i i* fii.i. ii. . pied by tne leading men 01 me stare mat we herewith present a portion of his letter to our readers: "It is difficult to realize the complete revolution, as respects the political administration of affairs, that has been realized in this State since one short year ago. At that time the whole country was in the throes of a desperate battle for the possession ot power. South Carolina was in the hands of a combination of thieves, whose administration of affairs, under the patronage of the National Republican party, had covered themselves with infamy and made the name of the State a reproach among all decent people. They already beheld with clinched teeth and bated breath the ominous writing upon the wall, and had begun,to realize that the day of reckoning was at hand. They fought through out that campaign with the bitterness and ferocity which characterize men when they have become' desperate. By every possible means in their power?by artifice, by fraud and rascality and in* timidation, and finally, in the last stages of the contest, by open and barefaced defiance from behind the bristling array of bayonets which stood between them and their adversaries?did they seek to cling to the high places which they had dishonored. But fate was upon them. Silently but relentlessly as Nemesis, with no loud threatenings or thunderings, the avengers of the thousand wrongs which this down-trodden State had been compelled to suffer were haling these malefactors to judgement. * * * * * * The leading men of the State, men like Governor Hampton, dudge Kershaw, General Conner, Colonel McMastcr and others, who make public opinion, are gentlemen of broad views and liberal culture. They see the absolute and pressing necessity for a breaking down of all old barriers and the inauguration of a new political and social sentiment among all classes of our people. As Judge Kershaw remarked the other day, the great needs of this state at prcsc nt are emigration and capital, and a sentiment should be made to prevail which will encourage people to conic and live rni /.in. among us. ine lcsourccs or tnc state arc unquestionably magnificent. In lier bosom are to be found nearly all the minerals with which this continent is enriched. ITcr soil is prolific aud generous, even under the techiest cultivation, while her water power is unexcelled. There is no reason why South Carolina should not become a great manufacturing State. The liberal and farsightcd men who control her destinies are fully iwake to the possibilities. It is only the 'owcr strata of inhabitants, those among whom ignorance and predjildice and i arrow ness prevail, that would crcct a *>rt of Chinese wall of exclusiveness iboutthcm. But the position of the jovernor is iiupregnable, and he knows t. He may lost caste with soufe of the jitter ultras of his party, but he will have he substantial business community to upport him, backed by the great bulk f the colored people. If the latter were (ailed upon to-day to choose a Governor, ' have not the least doubt their almost '.nanimous choice would bo Hampton. T1k> Southern Pacific Railroad. It is now evident that one of the most mportant subjects of legislation that rill occupy the attention of Congress rill bo the Southern Pacific Railroad, 'row all our exchanges it is evident that he people of the South will demand rom the national legislature the contruction of a railroad to the Pacific rhich shall span the continent through southern latitude and open an avenue of j rmimcrco between the Atlantic and ' \icific oceans which shall never be ! hoked by snow or impeded by the rigors fa more northern climate. The rtnt'on has already donated lands iid the national credit to the Central and I 'orthom t aciSe routes to 'he auiounr j f hundreds of millions, and for the par. . " In fact, tho cotton and tobacco of the j South and whiskey of the West have ; paid nine-tenths of the money required ^ for the interest on the bonds issued by j the government for these subsidies. ( Tf r?/\f cnnni imrnncnnntilo. therefore. I r J A1 VIV/Vr? ilW rvvut uu> ? , v j that the South, having borne so largo a ( | portion of the burden of national taxation { j tor the benefit of other sections, should y now ask that part ^ of the nationally ! revenue be appropriated for the benefit I i of a road to be constructed through a ] ( southern portion of the country, especial- | j ly when it is considered that such a ] | road would be free from the climatic ] I obstructions of more northern roads, and t would furnish a constant and convenient! j means of communication between the ( eastern and western scaeosts at all seasons ! of the year. For ourselves, wc are in favor of a Southern Pacific Railroad, with the proviso, however, that it shall be a bona%/frfc article, intended specially and primarily for the benefit and convenience ' - * - r%. . l *\ _ ot the southern states ana tneir seaports. We want a road that will connect San Francisco and San Diego with New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and Norfolk. We want a straight shoot from the western coast to Texas, and thence branches that shall cross the Mississippi at Vicksburg, Memphis and such other points as may prove most convenient to the Atlantic and Gulf seaports. We care not who else favors such a road, provided the proper safeguards are secured for its protection and the necessary guarantees are given that it shall be operated fairly and squarely for the benefit of the country through which it passes?Norfolk Virginian. At the session of the General Assembly of 1ST4?5, a joint resolution was passed proposing an amendment to the constitution of South Carolina, providing for the levy of an annual tax for the support of free schools in the several counties of the State. In accordance with the requirements of the constitution this proposed amendment was voted on at the last general election, and, as a result, a very large majority of the voters of the State cast their suffrages in favor of its adoption. At the last session of the General Assembly, the amendment came up for final action. In the Senate the opposition was insignificant, only four votes being given against the passage of the bill. In the House, how i UA AtwvAfiftAn woo PA /lnfn im L VUl) I liv; V|r^A/OiiivU nao ou uviviunuvu) that in order to prevent the defeat of the bill, quite a number of its friends voted to postpone final action on it until the next session. In our judgment, tho best interests of the State require the adoption of this amendment by the House of Representatives, at a very early day after tin" meeting of the General Assembly. Kve ry one who has given the subject any attention will recognize the fact that tineducational interests of the State are in a sad condition, and that something should be done, without delay, to bring about a better state of affairs in this respect. When the free school sy.-tcm was first adopted in the State, perhaps the majority of the white people were opposed to it. While they paid taxe^ for the support of free schools, many would not avail themselves of the advantages they offered, but attempted, even in their impoverished condition, to give "their children distinct educational facili tics and totally to ignore the free schools. Now, however, the case is quite different. The majority of the people?the whites as well as the blackarc not only willing to accept aid from public school funds in educating then children but demand and expect the aid: and many have reached the conclusion that they will ed cato their children in the public schools, or they will not educate them at all! This is a deplorable condition of affairs; but there is some apology for it in the fact thnt a large majority of the people of the State are unable to educate their children by thcit own unaided efforts. Admitting that, thus far, the publicschool system of this State has been pro^ * * 1. ! ciucnve or duc meagre results, in comparison with the amount of money which has been appropriated for the purpose?much of which lias'been stolen and misapplied?still wo arc not warranted in con- : eluding that a public school system cannot bo made efficient and productive 1 of good results, and thus prevent thou- 1 sands of children throughout the State, from growing up in ignorance. In many 1 of the States of this Union, and in Europe, public schools have been and are being conducted with the best results, ( and why not here??Yorkvifle Enquirer. 1 t ?o* c In speaking of needed reforms which ( it should be the work of the General ; Assembly to bring about, the Keowe |j Ofurier most pertinently says: j Dnt above all things legislation is need- ^ ed in the matter ot county government. The constitution should be so changed c as to permit the abolition of the office \ of county commissioners and the duties i now performed by them should be devol- t ved on a uumber of boards as before a the war. We then had commissioners r of the poor who were elected by the c people, and commissioners of roads, of c public buildings and of. free schools p appointed by the Legislature. These J four boards performed gratuitously all the duties now ptodaiuing to the office of 1 county commissioners and far more satis- t factorily. Persons were compelled to a serve one term or pay a fine, and very 1 t often the service was so light and even . a pleasant that many persons coutii ued to t fill these positions for a number of years j y without pay and without complaint. j| The result of this system of all work and o no pay w is to secure men most able to a eive their time, and those were eencral- n >ay produces a contest for the o(ficc in vliich the best fitted persons will not en' * jage. Another result of the system in the ase of roads was the selection of a :ommissioncr from every part of the jounty, who bci ng acquainted with the :opography of his section, knew .vhat roads were needed and when and vhere bridges should be built as v. ell as he reasonable cost of them. If we now had a commissioner of roads in every townrhip we would not hear of comp'aints against the opening of roads or because needed roads are not opened, nor at the high prices at which bridges are ! let out. The local commissioner would know the probable cost and he would contract accordingly, saving the public money. We would have better roads and more durable brdges. WASHINGTON LETTER. [From Our Special Correspondent] Washington Oct 29th 1877. The beginning of a new session of Congress is always the occasion of the revival of a great mass of business that for various reasons has failed in preceding Congresses, the present one is no . exception and clerks arc busy from morning to night searching files, examining records and endorsing petitions. People who memorialize Congress have learned by long , experience that there is no virtue like persistency in pushing a claim. Some of the Bills to be ' brought up again this session arc wrin- 1 klcd and yellow with age. Will the lawmakers handle them any more tenderly i on that account ? Others come up crisp and new but under their fair and innocent exterior lies a long train of consequences that will not be brushed aside by simple yea, or nay. The improvements of sou;hern harbors particularly the Mississippi River clearagc. that will be urged this winter are of vital importance to the Commercial interests of the entire country.

I'." v. ana otncr attractions nave naa great influence on the sessions of Congress, they have been few and far between, however great bodies move slowly and the even balancing of the political parties in the House contributes to the inertia. Speaker Randall has been a long time making up his Committees, and u. til they are chosen no important business can be transacted. The House fills up the interim when in session by discussing the Coloralo case. Among others Hanison of Ills, has spoken eloquently in disproving the claim, while Gcnl. Garfield of Ohio, vigorously defends it. It is confidently believed that Fernando Wood will be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Atkins of Appropriations, Banning of Military affairs, Uutton of the District and Cox of Banking and Currency. In the Senate the Louisiana case drags along slowly. It is said that Senator Matthews of Ohio is mak ng na1}' to attack the Civil Service Reform, wlitn t e nominations are brought forward to be confirmed. Sonic personal frienu of liis, who stood liigl in the last Civil Service examination received no appointm ut, while many are constantly slipp ng into office without even go ng through any form of cxam'nation; j^ould this lead to uti investigation of the investigations in the the Interior Dcpartuicu it will be a wheel within a wheel. Mr. W. K. Curtis, corespondent of the M. V.
