THE SPATANBURO AND ASHEVILLE Rail
road has been completed to the
summit of the Blue Ridge, nine
miles from Hendersonvillo. The
indomitable energy displayed by this
company in pushing its enterprise
in the face of universal dep-ession
is worthy of the greatest praise.
A Word for Redmond,
Mr. McKinlay's report in the
.News and Courier of his interviews
with the outlaw, Redmond, are of
surpassing interest, both from the
nature of the subject and the graph
ic style of the writer. He has
brought Redmond face to face with
the public, and has evoked the pro
found sympathy of the people of the
State in behalf of this modern Robin
Hood who has thuu far successfully
defied the myrmidons of the revenue
service. These infamous creatures
are shown in their true colors.
There is no reason to doubt that
they organize expeditions against
alleged inoonshiners for the sole
purpose of robbery and outrage.
One almost regrets that Redmond's
bullets were not more surely aim ed.
The murderers of poor Ladd should
be hunted down even as they hunted
down tht ir victim. As for Redmond,
his naturally good character is
vouched for by the best peoplo of
his acquaintance All he wants is a
show of justice-a dog's chance.
He asks the world to cease hound
ing him down, and to give him a fair
trial, where perjured revenuo ofli
cials will not be allowed to swear
away his life. This seems an act of
justice. In common with the good
citizens of the State we ask Govern
or Hampton to investigato the mat
ter and see what can be done, If
Redmond is the man he is said to be,
he shou:d be protected from further
persecution. As for the dirty reve.
nue officials, Judge Kershaw should
resist the removal of their cases to
the Federal court to the last ex
tremity. This is a good time to put
to practice the time honored prin
ciples of State sovereignty.
The Charleston Council.
The recent meetings of the city
council of Charleston have been the
occasions of an unseemly display of
temper and wrongheadedness, and
it wvould appear from rep)orts that
Major Sale has beeni tho otYhnding
person. Tho casus belli at the last
meeting was the presentation of a
report of the board of health, which
Mayor Sale refused to have'read on
the ground that it was insulting to
the council. When some of the
aldermen demnan ded the reading.
the mayor refused to accede, and
further refused to entertain any
appeal from his decision. There
upon tlie council adjourned without
transacting any of the important
business before it, Seone time ago
the city council anthorized the
making of certain excavations with~
in the city limits, when the board of
health, alleging that this would
cause disease, procured an injunc
tion from Judge Mackey, who
decided that the board of
health was supreme. Mayor Sale
maintained that the board was the
creation of the council, and could
not therefore be supreme. This
caused the con:munication which he
refused to receive. Mayor Sale,
also, in the meeting charged that a
conspiracy exIgted against him, but
refused to rnme the offenders. He
haas subsequently relerred his action
to the corporation counsel for ad
vice, promising to be guided by the
decision of that aflcer.
Whoever may be in the wrong,
such quarrels as this are untimely
and deplorables Charleston is the
ichest and most populous portion
of the State. It is therefore an
important factor, and upon the con
duct of the Charleston Democracy
depends a great deal. This power
'fqlbodIy.cannot afford to be divided
and disorganized. It must be solhd
anid enthtisihtic in iider to over
And if a split should come in the
city the game is uip, and Charleston
will be severely punhled. Her
Congressmen and her members of
the Legislature will be Radicals of
the worst typo, and the metropolis
of the State will have no influence
in shaping legislation. The stake is
a high one which muet not be lost
through Democratic dissentions.
The council must pull together. It
must not rival the Pillsbury council,
in which pistols and morphine were
the principal features. If Mayor
sale is wrong, as he is reported to
be, he must get right at once. The
State Democracy will not be trifled
with. It wants no lukewarmness,
no dissensions, no bolts in its or
ganization. "Democrat or Radical"
is the cry. The day of go-betweens
has passed. The council of Charles
ton must not be a i element of dis
traction.
Since the above was written,
Mayor Sale has revoked his action,
and things are moving more
smoothly.

T0TAL ABSTlNENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
BIPWS.
There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nowa
days, and have only recentil been put upon
the market. Dr. Un derhill the well-known
gtrape-grower of Croton Point, diedl in 187r.
Some of brs heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on
hand to be sold or an~y more to be made.
The grapes haive somimeIins been sent to
snarket, and sometimeca left to deeay upon
the vines. 1It is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for ai. settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Amon g these is a wino of the vintage
of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,''
hut suggesting the Imperial Tokay. imore
than any other Europecan wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
ranciers have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
lmands of the welI-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbrs.-N. . Tridue,
Nov. :9, 1977.

The above speaks for itself, but we would
add that this is the pure Juice of the grape,
neither druggrd, liquored uor u'almrd; that it
hia been ripened and mellowed by age, and
Lor- medicinal or sacramental purposes it is
unsurpassed. It cani be obtained from most
of the leading DruggIsts throughout the
United States, and at wholesale from the
undersigned, who will forward descriptive
