The Phosphate Interests.
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

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

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

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

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
