We call attention to the report of tho Phosphate Commission. It is signed by General Bratton and Col. Zimmerman Davis, of Charleston, who with J. D. Pope, Esq., of Columbia, were appointed by Governor Sip son. Mr. Pope presented a niinority report. The report states concisely and clearly the points in issue, and shows conclusive that as far as the State 18 concerned the granting of exclustAe rights to thoroughly equip ped companies alone secures the pay ment of royalty and the exhaustive mining of the beds. The State cannot afford to lose much of her valuable deposits in order to allow individuals to make a little money. Indeed, it is claimed that the thorough system of mining by the large companies has given employment to hundreds of la borers, and allowed thorn to realize more money than they could possibly have done under general rights. The only argument used against these exclusive rights is that they give a monopoly, and all persons unin formed are deceived by this. In fact, there is no monopoly about It. The State owns only those beds that lie in the navigable streams and marshes ad joining. All deposits in the land or in streams not navigable belong to pri vate individuals, and it Is easy to see that these may be fifty or a hundred times as m9ch as the rivei' deposits, and perml. any desired amount of competition. Another mistake Is that the fertiliz era used by the farmers of South Caro lima are made from this river rock. This Is not true. Heretofore, the river rock has been exclusively ship ped to other ports, all the home phos phates being furnished by the land companies. The land phosphates are solter and more easily reduced than the river deposits, and the latter do not come In competition with them. A gret. deal of political capital has been made out of these phosphate beds. Front being a firm believer in the system of general rights, we have been induced by a careful study of the questi!on to believe in the policy of granting these exclusive rights. Such, we believe, will be the conclusion of every candid niind on reading the re port of ex-Attorney General Conner and the more recent report of the Phosphate Commission. The Charleston Election. Charleston hqs not disappointed ex pectation. On Tuesday the Democ Uft 1'^ &9ir^1e l ndepen'dt; ente, Sorehteads and Ratdicals in one promiscuous grave. When the Sale primary convinced us that there would be three candidates in the field, we were satisfied of the election of Cap tain Courtenay, but the result could not be more iatisfactory. Thte straight Democrats carried every ward and elected the mayor by a handsome majority over both his opponente. Tlhe aldermen, thmough nominated from the different wards, are elected by the total vote of the elty, so that the blec tion of Captain Courtenay carried with it a nanimous Democratto coun-. ell. The peopl)1 of Charleston have reason to be proud of the splendid camtpaignm and the glorious results of the election. Additional proof is given of the power of tha Democratic government to preserve peace. and order under the most exciting circum stances. Under the Radical regime, at almost every election, humnan blood besprhmkled the streets of Charleston. On Tuesday ntot a drop was spilled. Much credit is due to the managers of election and to the peace offieials for tis happy result. The mtunicipal election in Charles tont was not a local affair. In almost every eounty of the 8tate were Inde watchting with intense interest the outcome of the contest in the metropo lis of thte State. The success of either Sale or Gayer would have been hailed mis an omeni of the dislntegration of thte Democratic party, and in thme early spring every county would have been harassed by schemers and plotters against the Democracy and good gov ernment-. But the decisive triumph for good government in Charleston, despite all the elements there pro pitions for a Radical-Indepenmdent sue eess, proves how strong is still the tie that binds the Democracy together, and how the people are not ready yet to ask Mr. lHowen, or Mr. Corbini or any other Radical to take a- hand . In managing our affhira. The horrors of the night of Reconstruction are still remembered in the broad daylight of k Democratic, honest, home rule. As Tiu Naws AND1I HERAL.D contributed 4! its mite to the triumph of principle -. over self-aggrandizement~ and office seeking, it now claims tihe privilege of e~ xtenmding the warmest congratula-. sitions to Charleston In her triumph. A -great mistake was made two 4'ears a 'o whent the Democrat. tnominated a 1.Senatorial candidate in Charleston to ~pravenit him from running'as an JIn 4ependent% A iotory thon uld a < Me' Anade the ,epent attempted re t.

Wq prediet that asabia C 9i ~QtI0W#ih the future ill WIheoad# ageinst dueto the skill and integrity be has shown fit private life. We believe that lie will make an admirable officer. The aldermen ana school commission ore are among the staunchest oitizens In Charleston. During the next four years the city will make -vast stride-l in material prosperity. Tuesday's work was a good thing for Charleston. Its result is 'smple -reward for all the work done during the past summer ,and autumn. The Democracy has girded its loins afresh for the cam paign of 1880. URE PuoMfI4Ta nanIs8. Pepet of the Phosphate Comnniueuion-Ex hanstive Mining. and Payanont of Itoyal. fleat Obtained by Exeluegve Itights. The Legislature at its last session provided for the appointment of a commission to examine into the rights and interests of the State in the phos phatic deposits in the waters and marshes of the State, and to report upon the best system for the protection of the State's rights in these beds. Governor Simpson appointed on this commission General John Bratton, of Fairfield, J. D. Pope. Esq., of Colum bia, and Col. Zimmerman Davis, of Charleston. The commission made an examination of the phosphate beds as directed. A report has been made to the Legislature by General Bratton and Colonel Davis, Mr. Pope sub mitted a minority report which we have not yet seen. The report of the majority refers to the information contained in the re ports of State officials, and also to a niap of the phosphate region, now on file in the Comptroller-General's office. By this it will be seen that the river deposits, belonging to the State, con stitute but a very siall portion of the great phosphate beds. The and de posits arC all in the hands of private Individuals or companies, and the State has nothing to do with them. The committee recommends a re tentiont of the royalty plant of deriving revenue from the phosphates. No accurate knowledge of the quantity and quality of the deposits has been gained. Such a survey would he too expensive. Large deposits are founiad in Beaufort River, but they are not. rich enough to pmay fr working. To filnd how rich and how extensive the deposits ire 1a not important so long as revenue is drawn by the royalty system. The term "plant" means the equip ment of compaues for tho work. A fully equi1ped plantt conslists of tongs, faoalighaters, waishboats, dredges, tugboats, wharves, crushers, screens and drying sheds. The parties er)L ating tnder prigleges granted wer variously equipped, some having Only Hate and tongs. sYSTEMS OF MINING. Three systems are practised. Some who hold'privileges and have given security, do to work themselves but grant permits to outside persons and exercise no supervision wtatever over thtem. This system gives io security whatever to the State and would re qirae a thorough and expensive de tective system. Some grant pernilts This is better, but thtere isaten fixed place fo~r brhaging thec roek and par mag thie royalty. Others have thteir thorough e quipmaents and a fixed place of business. These are equally inter ested with the State in securing ex htaustive mnininag to realize full returns flrom their investments; while the amount of capital invested in f1xtures, ad theo severe bonds under whicha thec compianaies are placed, make it to their interest to pay theo royali y htonesty, rather than run the risk of losi no their echarter anad having their bond forfeilt ed if detected in fraudi. EXIIAUTiYE~ 3MINING. On tis subject the report sava: The rock is takein fronm the wvater 'hy two modes-by "hand picking" (unader whtich is intchuded that takena with tons) ndby machinery. All of the ntecessary to a thtorougha and systemat ic workinag of the river maines. "JIaad picking" can only obtain loose rocks and deposits lying on thte bottom and can avail nothlug with the rock that is cemeinted by satnd anad maal in fitm sheets or masses, called "strata roek," whaich requires poweai dredges to break through anad tear it up. Anad thais "strata rock" is fennad in nearly all of the river phosphate beds, th at o'r thte Ashley Rliver being, perhaps, thte only exception. Ther'e the loose nodules lie on a bed of pure miarl and no dredge has as yet beota adap>ted to work int this tough putty-lik-e sub stance. But, though thte returns and pa menat and royalty may be failthful v made and theo security for the same may be satisihetory to the authorities of the State for all rook "dug minted and removed," your Commissioners htave failed to discover ha those sys tems and modes of cotnduotling opeaa tions, without a fixed place of b usi ness, the faintest shadow of a security for the State's interest in the thorough, systematic and exhtaustive working of her n~ines. They are not organized oequped for it anad are incapable ofmeetinag tis demanad of the inter ests of thte State, and, more, they militate agaitnst it. They skim of its fatness the whole territory to whiech they have access, leaving that whticha is difficult ad expenisive to mine. One exceptiona was found to til state of things which shtould be men tioned. The Marine and River Plaos phtate Company is operatling its dredge in 8tonto River . and more rook is loosened titan is brought up in the buokets of the dredge. Promiscuous "hand-pickers" swarm in and take up the rock that is loosened but not brought up by the buokets of the dredge. W~hile this mninitng ,cannaot well be claimed as systematic, it is robably very thorough and exhaust vo,but tie obstacle in te way of eutablishiung a systeni .based on this model lies iu the difficulty of procum hng dredges for the swarming hanad pickers. Neither companties nor indli viduals are willing to ivest ina these expensive machines Unless the full benenit of their operations is seured to them, unless thtey have the privilege of hand pickin the rook.loosenedl but not takc0~jfp the buckets of the dre ..The ~g~ of tia Marine and ~ tri.a~~t or iue In this work. Thre are oihfi two other classes of Imilning operations, both of which arc estatblishe(lIn fixed localities, and In both of which thoso to whomt rights of the State were granted suporvise and control - the business, and iI both of which the State is Itisfiat.or'ily Secured aIt to proper retirns anild 11aymnltt of royalty on il rock "dug, milned amd re'mov ed." The only difterence is ats to their capacity or adaptationl for meeting tle demiialds of the linterests of the State fr systeratittc and exhaustive ninihig. Those of them to whom exhaustivo rights to limited territory were grant ed have interests identical with I those of the Stato so far a1s exhaust ivCe minng is concerned; the difter ene0e is onl the outfit and equipnent provided t!r thin IsiIless. Those who aro onlv provided with hand-pickig inplenients and tppli aices are unequal to the full deiand of their own) interests or those of, the State. Over almost the entire extent of the river phosphate beds It is Im practlcable, if not impossible, to raise all the rock without the aid of power ful machinery. The last elass of operators-those who have provided full and complete outfits for the busiies-are certainly able to meet. the demniids of the inter ets of the State "iI the present condi tion Of the suibject," and are, in the opinion of your Commissioi, the only class who (all. If they do not do it, it is, and can be, attiributable to mtis inanigement or fraud, either of which would be alike detrimental to their own Interests and to those of the State. They employ machinery whose adapt ability to its peculiar works is simply wonderfil, aid it is a pleasure to b able to say that its adjustment and fit ness for the purpose was achieved in a great measure by the energy, skill and ability of a South Carol~inian. But your ittention will simply be called to their thellities for taking all of the rock from their territory for exhaust lve mining. This control over the powerful. dredges used for breaking through, tearingnp and raising phos phatlc deposits il the bottom of the waters is as complete as that of the ploughman over his plough, and they can break up the bottoms of their water territory within certain liniits as to depth, furrow by t'urrow, field by field, with as m1uc1h0 precision Is the farmer can the lands o' his farm. The rock left by the dredge is in a loose condition, suitahe for hand-pickiig. If' the dredginig Is thoroughly (lone, Followed I hand-picking thoroughly done, systeinatic and exhaustive il ing is prucatilly accomplished. It is entirely withitn the reach of those operating under the coinplete outfit. system to (10 tihis, it is their interest to do It, aid it'their Iiterest is not deem ed sufficient security to the State a law requiring them to do it would not be deemed dotri mental to the interests of any of the parties conceried. Under this full equipment system only is found protection or oven regard for the State's interests in thorough and exhaustive ininIg. Again, establish ment in Ia fixed Iocalit y and a sys temiatic or'gaiuiization of the business is a necessity to successfii operation under this system. ''he Concentration of a localized and well-organlized business shnplifies thle duty duvolvinig upon the State of watching her interests in it and ficilli ftes tro eonical collection of her revenutes fromi this service.

Unfortunately, no such comnpatibli ty exists in the promiscuous mlinin g system." THlE DEST SYSTEM.

Under thiis rule of action, your Commnissioners cannot entertain any radical change inI the conduct of tis business; any novol scheme for Its more profitable mantageont how ever promising of results; as "in the present conldition of the. subject" such d lstur'bance and dlsarratngement would be invoived as might be detrimental to the interests of all concerned.
