We publisli to-day very full juviiniits | of ihe inauguration ceremonies, and print ill full the inaugural address ?>f President Cleveland. Tin; address is short, simple, sensible and practical. It is an evidence of the sound iiidirinont ! of Mr. Cleveland, that he not upon | this occasion enter into a long and unnecessary* review of puUic events, or indulge in a dissei t ?tion upon questions of public importance. 11 ??\v" over proper the discussion ;it length, of such questions may he in an olKcia' message to Congress, they are wholly inappropriate in >in address to thousands of people compelled to stand during the delivery of the address. It is sufficiently clear in this instance to make plain the policy of the administration, and to givo good ground to the millions of American citizens that the ?p ? ? l....... I V lll.l Wl f.'U? Ul IllllV-llt llil t U lilt IVII 1IIIU strong and honest hands. The President has called to his aid as constitutional advisers a cabinet that is universally admitted to he a strong one. It is unfortunate that the Democratic side of the Senate should lose such able men as Lamar. Bayard and Garland. But it is well that the new administration will have the benefit of their wisdom, their knowledge and the influence of their high character. Mr. Manning, Col^nyj^-ht5>-frfrr-fTndtoirtt? ?-ami Mr. Whitney are not politicians known to fame. But are business men ?.f high qualifications and that perhaps it$ better for the country, for now we may indulge the hope that the several departments of government will be administered according to business rules, for the public good, and not for partisan political purposes.

Now since the successful applicants for Collector of Internal Revenue for South Carolina aud United States Marshal have received the recommendation for the respective offices, tliey have been made the targets for innumerable petitions for subordinate position to be tilled by them. Mr. T. F. ltiley is circulating a petition for Deputy Collector, also for the same office Dr. M. C. Taggart, of Greenwood, and Mr. C. Hughes, of this place aspire. This is a nice office paying r? Hillary 01 auouc lourlecn hundred dollars per annum, and not very much work. Either of the gentlemen named would fill the office acceptubly. 11 looks strange and decidedly extraordinary, for ? our people to b? looking out for these offices which have been .filled so long by thp political Goths and Vandals, who have overrun our country for twenty years. This foels like Cleveland is President sure enough. j GENERAL GRANT. The southern people can never, and ought never to forget the brave nnd generous conduct of General Grant toward General Lee and his army, at Appomattox. They will therefore he pleased that Congress, although at-the very last moment, passed the Act by which General Grnnt was placed on the retired list of the Army. The old General is sick uiKii uuiu ui'aui, is poor ami needy, anil the country can well n fib I'd lo provide for his comfort in his declining years. The second official act of President Cleveland was the signing of his commission. EDITOHIAIi NOTKft. The South Carolina Democratic delegation in Congress, with the exception of Senator Hampton have met and agreed upon the persons to he recommended to the President forappointm *i l to the Federal offices in South Carolina. We have no idea that Senator Hampton will offer any opposition to the confirmation of Jinj^of these appointments, and don't see why he didn't want to join with the others in the caucus. As it is his recommendation would not amount to much as against that of the entire delegation. Some of {he appointments were a surprise to the people hereabouts. We had other choices; hut all these gentlemen are good and true men and will redeem the Fedoral serrico In Po.-.i:.? < ... iii.i iruiu lis present and pnsl condition. Our friend of the Cicor^<*lown Enquirer, in an editorial on Chinese (Jordan, took occasion to sny that he "differd with1' the editor of the Medium, find wo exported to find him on the patno Hide of the question, hut on reading his remarks found to our surmisi' that ho differed ''from" insti'ail of "with.," the editor of the Meiliuvi.

Railroad Rally, j INTERESTING MEETING IN HE HALF OF THE CAROLINA, CUMBERLAM* GA1' & CHICAGO HAIL HO A I). i'he Abbeville Delegation Holds it.Own?Speeches, Statistics, itn?l Speculations. Abbevi'le some few \vo< ks a;i<> held u public meeting in Ihe interests of the Carolina, Cumberland (.Jap and Chicago llailrond. At this meeting tiie feasibility of a conference witb Charleston capitalists was determined on, and delegates selected. This signal (ire was caught up all along tin; line, from Aiken to Pickens, ami responded to with one common | urpose *, and March the 4th, was selected as the time. Messrs. \V. II. Parker L. W. Whit.?, T. (3. Seal, J. ?^. Hammond and W. .Joel Smith, were elected delegates from this place. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hammond could not attend, and Mi-.-sss. Ii. Wardlaw Smith and T. P. ('otlnan were delegated intheir places. On the 3d, the line of march was taken up. At Hodges the Ahheville delegation met the Due West and ISeiton delegates, and in their company sought the longed for healing of tin? sea. A great di al of uncertainty and suspense was being felt and exhibited as to the result of the expedition. Our need w.is felt to be sore, to Charleston we looked for aid, not in the capacity of rail road mendicants, but in tho capacity of those who are working ill tho interest of a mand sclmi "^ mid. desirous of exhij^nfg"*Tts~ merit;; to tin Winr 11m nf i'I South Carolina, most able to respond to our call, and who ara most directly interested in the success of tho enterprise. Charleston has hern run around long enough, it does seem, and should sei/.e with avidity the proffered enterprise; natuiaily this is the way thai we loo!; at our proposition. Charleston of course will do nothing unless her interest to do so can be plainly pointed out. The truth of tho whole business is that the capital of Charleston is in the hands of those who are making money hand-over-list, and are not disposed to interfere with the smooth running profit of well enough. Another noticeable condition of affairs is that Charleston is the nest of the State aristocracy. The old families, grand in their seclusivouess naturally shrink from tho cosmopolitan cllect ol new roads, new people, new ideas which will dissipate in a short time the lettered ease and opulent luxury of the olden days. Atlanta, is a striking example ol what many in Charleston wish to avoid. Its hord of strangers, unfamiliar customs and mixed society, ollcnd the notions of the old families of the saltj suburbs of this quaint old city. A consultation, informal, was held between Governor liagood, Mr. Scholielil and other delegates on the part of the road and Messrs. Uruwley, Williams, Magrath and others of Charleston, on the morning of March 3d ; a gieat many questions were asked by tin. Charleston people, with shrewdness a> to the prospects of tho road, the character ami resources of the country througli which it ran, and many similar question.* | indicative of their interest in tht J scheme, but suggestive too of their in determination. The road is certainly for i tunate in having the services of a gei.I lletnan of as facile a tongue as the linnnj cial agent Mr. Schofiejd.-- 'J'be qucs | nons anu objections 4,1 Ilie ''harleston I cni^i' "?-'ists were answeicd and parried, with the skill of a diplomat, and tin prospects of the road, and I In? grandoui of the scheme wore made to stand forth in clear clean-cut relief and brilliance Mr. Schoiield is certainly a remarkable man; about seventy years old, average height, and quite portly, with hair anil beard as white as snow and eye-brows still resisting tho whitening inlhiencc ol time, which stand out in singulai striking contrast with the tlorid complexion and snow}' beard. He is familiar with all the manoeuvering and iusidt workings of anything that concerns rail roads, and if by a stretch of charitabh forgetfulness we could lose sight of the plethoric promises and barrcii fulfillment of two years ago. the rumble ol tho engine could be hoard resounding from hill to hill of Long ane's barren wilds or steaming through I h<> rich lit?Ids ami fertile bottoms of the "Nation." This is hard to do and all of his llowery accounts and glow of sanguine expectation must he taken with some considerable degree of allowance. The decided impression with the delegates, befuiv the meeting hei;an was that Charleston will hear oui t le through and will, like !l wise .1 11(1 riKoff.i I..." .1....: .. . n.. . w II' i VIVV IMUI1. What this will lie, cannot l>o tolil ; wc can only hope; as wa^suid of Mr. ttchotield. "wo are *till hopeful." Tho Charleston bound train was on time, and at JO o'clock, p. in., wo wore hauled up at the Charleston Hotel ami llie elastic'bus einjrted of its rail road kings. Upon our arrival wc were met by Mr. 15. W* lladdon, of Duo West, who inftr.ncd us that the meeting ol the up-country <h legates lor conference was then being held in the parlor of the Charleston Hotel. Thither wo repaired and for two hours and a half we were immorsv'tl in tho whirl of rail road talk, till tho Abbeville syndicate so called, wore wiser in rail road lore than their imagination over pictured. Tho meeting had been under way for perhaps a couple of hours when we arrived, and continued with unabated interest until half-past twelve. Tho discussion was extremely interesting and disclosed the fact that Mr. Kcholield's plan was about this: He said that for tho last two years, in fact since the assassination of 'President -tiarlield, there had been a deplorable shrinkage in American securities, and that with nothing but a mere franchise, a buld undertaking, with not a hair on it.-he had found il impossible to make tlie necessary arrangements for the money. This seems very reasonaable, and the only wonder i* that he did not come to that conclusion before he took his littlo grip sack and spread his cnili! (n }% ?+ 1 1 ' ......i .in; UUHU.-11 Kings ??i London. 11?; Kays now tlint the different municipalities along tho line, eitii'K, town?, townships ami counties, must raise 5 per cent, upon tho assessed value of their property, and that will induce Charleston and othi>r places to take 500,0U0 of bonds of the road; with that assistance ho proposes to build the road from Aiken to Pickens and iron it. That then tho rolling stock will be procured from the South Carolina Railroad, and after a year or two running with profitable results, the bonds of tho jk.? :> . ' ' '! jwj, ?*. ; ' ,-i m?r;, i V ^ -/ 1 ;' road will bo placed for mono}' enough to i complete the roiul across the mountains, t The subscriptions by the people along ( the lino will not be turned over to the II. II. until the train has reached the place which subscribes. If lor instance I Abbeville should issue if20,tXX) of bonds ( ?those bonds would be placed in some < lmnk in escrow, thai is that they were not to be turned over to the II. I!, until < I thy train of cars had reached Abbeville i j town. This seems reasonable and fair. After the disclosure of this plnu by Mr. ; Si'.btttb'bl, (love: nor llugood presiding, j framed the following questions to be answered by each delegation, in order ! that onl* poMiion in tlie conference might l>e distinctly understood and that there might be no confusion : 1. Will your constituents agree to a subscription of 5 nor cent, upon the taxable property in your locality ? This question was answered in the affirmative by the delegates from i'ickens, Kasley, Helton, Hue West, Abbeville, Troy, Kdgelield, Aiken, Trenton and Williamston. 2. Will tliev lake in exchange for their subscription one half in common stock of the Company, and the other h ill' in ?nd Mortgage or as they are called income bonds? 1 111?* l|IHV>tiVMI \\ ?l.> II 11 ?4 il I III W? l.>l ) ii;i- j sworod in the uHinuntivo. Will lliey do litis on condition that tho proooods of tlwir bonds or subscriptions bo not delivovd to tho I!. It. Co., j until the train reaches tho respective localities ? When this question was put, Mr. A. J. Norris, of Kdgoiield, said, ho thought wo should not saddle the subscriptions with any such proviso. Thai the whole subscription should be placed in a common pool and by expended in the host interests of the road as dictated by the President and directors, beginning of course | r%t Aiken. Mr. l!. A. Child, of I'iekens. said, that he llimujiu^ll+r--jHavht> -Was" <. ->: a^riy -That the people of his section did not propose to furnish money and have it expended for tin; beinTit of Aiken or Kdpdicdd, ami particularly ougl.s we to adopt it as it was proposed by Mr. Schotiehi. and could not interfere with the negotiability of the bonds. Mr. Xorris replied, .1. what we wanted was uniteo eil'.nf. a::?l to eoneynj Irate all our c fiorls i'lsni-' liai- 'y 0:1 lJs ? j lower end of the i.i.e. 'l b;;: ibe sad-j I dling of such proviso, wou; 1 seriously ] discourage Charleston. j r.

Brown, of Helton, who hud such jui in! terest in tins road. I Mr. L. W.

' j desire of his constituents, was that the I i money subscribed by Abbeville should j i ho expended within the borders of that j j county and was in favor of the proviso. Mr. Schoiield stated that tho object j i of the management of the road was to j | get the $5(XMj00 from Charleston; that j Iin order to do this it was necessary to] s ! get the f> per cent, subscription all along I , ' the line ; that the taking of $51 lO.tHM of i I bonds by Charleston was predicated bv ! it... ......?...! -...

Mr. Ihadloy wanted to know what . would he done in case oil to help. This was postponed for fur-j i ther consideration?nut crossing the , bridge till we got to it. ; At the request of tiovernor llagood,! Mr. T. I*. ('othran, of Abbeville, then of-, i fered the following resolutions which . were adopted : Jlcsowetl. That it i-; t'.o unanimous opinion of this ineetiii'T, [| i n.it our constituents, who arc the ; j citizens of every municipality along the [" South Carolina division will subscribe f? per cent upon the assessed \ aiic.tiou of . j its property, leal ami personal, in aid of ! the C. C. (i. & H. 11., receiving in p.?y I went therefor, otte-lntlf of the subserip1 tion in income bonds and one-half in stock of the Railway company. They > are also of th- opinion that the townships along the lino will jrenerally reI" spondin same way. ; Mr. Cothran also ottered thy following amendment : i Jie.K/lveil, That it is the opinion of this meeting that the voting of this subscription hy the people will be more! readily done if it should be a condition of the subscription of each municipality and township that it be payable only . ! on the completion of the line within its i limits. Adopted without discussion. Mr. lirown, of Helton, wanted to know of Mr. Scholield whether there was any more confidence to be placed in his present promises and expectations than in those of two years ago. Mr. Scholield was a little surprised at this request and went on to explain what he had done in the last two years. lbsaid that he went to England having nothing to work upon but the naked fran chise of the road, before anything worth speaking of had been done, and owing to me smiuKage in American securities he was unable to move a wheel. iie said that while he had failed to make any arrangements for money that he had secured for the road a standing among the ltailroad circles equalled by no enterprise in America for the las', fifteen years. That it was true the road had been mortgaged for $22,GOO per mile but that was not exorbitant when wo consider the amount of work that has to hi; done. The South Carolina Kaiiroad had a mortgage debt of $30,000 per mile ami the C. U. (*.& ('. K. It. had a great deal more heavy work (o accomplish than this road. There wore four tunnels to be cut and other very expensive grading. That his whole heart was in the work? he was satisfied from the merits of the enterprise that it would be successful and pledged his life's service t<? that end. He said licit ho had ijee.-iv e.i 01 |y a short time ago a e.-bie dxpalrh *ay!:ig if the road could be ironed to l'iikViiS that the paii'it'S telegraphing would give Sit per cent, for enough bonds to * ni.<!t iifly mib s of the load fill ther on- That he i ikii ? muii i ly mm mill' IIIIH'S, \VR ten limes as much, us any member of tlic meeting upon Iho road and that he was determined to do all in his power for its success. H? thought $1(K),(X*) raised alonjj the line with the amount of accumulateri trade to the city of Charleston, would be ample security for the $500000 which we hope to raiso in Charleston.
