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.

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.

Congressman Suialls of South Carolina
who is under indictment lor taking a
bribe of $."),0l?0 while a member of the '
South Carolina Legislature, has been i
appealing to his fellow Republicans in the
House of Representatives to save him '<
from prosecution. 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

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

brave work, and fosscssed the courage

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.

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

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^

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, (

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.

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
