Assoczna 1DlTOn. 11 AN OVERSI0 HT, IT WAS STATED IN Saturday's issue that the Railroad Con suissioner draws his pay from the railroads. This was the provision of the law first creating the office, but the ast Legislature changed It, so that the Commissioner draws his money f-om the treasuiy and the State collects from the roads. The result is practi cally the same, for when the road re Aises to pay the State is out of pocket. Meanorial of the Columbia Board of Trade. The Columbia Board of Trade has - petitioned the Legislature to make the Railroad Commissioner a State officer, whose salary shall be paid from the treasury in like manner as that of oth er State officials. By way of relim bursemen.t they recommend that the railroads be taxed not, as no1w, on the average rate of construction per mile, but upon their real estate and gross eaTnizngs. By the present system the Spartanburg and Union Road pays at the same rate as the South Carolina -and the Charlotte, Columbia and An gusta Railroads, while its earnings bear no comuparison to those of either of the others. As citizens desiring the buest inter ests of all the people they asi: for such legislation as will enille th (Con:ui sioner to act with authority, p'rtapt ness and that indelptdenco that w ill insure the enfi'orcenttwt of his order und add to the efeiviency or hi s delpm- - ment. In ovidence of wh:ti th Com missioner has already zcenll-hal theo melomorial )oinits 1to t1'w r-!Oilucd rates on the Charlotte. b m nd Augusta Railroad, and to ! H lbitn of the discriIinat ionls praect isled a a itt. pan'tions of the State a few years o';. Still the charges are excosive. Tlhe freight i cotton from New berry to Columbia is a dollar and a half a b)ale, whereas it should bo a doller. Bates on ahe South Carolina and Spartai burg and Union lloads are still higher. The consequence is that produce has to seek distant markcts instead of1 Ie ing sold near at home. It is casy to see that the small tax that might, be necessary to lty tie, Conmissioner would be repaid tenoi'd iI reduced rates, but it is neither probablo nor possilelo that extra taxa tion will be demanded, as the system of railroad t axation iereini reconmend ed would realize more noney as well as conform to the priiciple of equal taxation. This is a brief synopsis of the memorial, which is quite a strong one and demands respectful attention. The Legislature will certainly tke the matter into careful consideration, NOTES -F202|[_QLU2A1l.DA. - -A Flying Trip to the State Capttal-The~ Different Departrnents anud the Leogi Lure. The Editor p~aid a fiying visit to Co lumbia on Saturday, to take a look at. the Legislature and to see how matters wvere going on generally in the State Capital. lie left Witnnsboro on the early morning train, but came netar getting left as the train was only three quartetrs of an hour behindhand, in stead of an hour. This train runs through, without change of cars, fronm Richmond to Augusta. Leav ing Winnsboro it reached Robertson's pump In flive nmitnutes, Sitmpson's itt twelve, Ridgeway itn twenty-two and Doko In thirty-seven-atn average of about thirty milies an hour. Columbia wtas reached safely in a little over an hour. The street at the depot was in a fearful condition, so the Editor dived downi into lisa pocket and fished out a quarter that some honest subscrib~er had paid hitn and took a back for the Columbia I lotel. This caravansary is the headquarters of the D~emocrat ic politicians, and is largely patironized by visitors from all parts of the St ate. Major Lowrance, tihe host, has a grati fying prospect befotre hinm, and as a former citizen of Fairfield we wish him success.

THII OUSE OF REPRCESENTATIVE8. The House mot at eleven o'clock. At the appointed hour Speaker Shop pard donned his robes and called the body to order, The personnel of the House is very good, and the body is possibly the best. that has met In years, although only twenty-two old mem bors are in it. Of the Fairfield delega tion both Messrs. McMaster and Lyles had gone home over Sunday, and Major Thomas was left to hold the fort. Their seats are on the riglt about the middle of the second or third row, which gives them a good position. Ma or Thomas was well sustaining the di lity of the .county, He was pre parIg some bills, aid will be heard from before the sessioi closes. Mr. Lyles' bill to eompel railroads to con struct cattle-guards when fences cross them, passed Its third reading Satur day. its object is to prevent cattle thi are pasturing on (he banks of Broad River from getting into culti vated fields, and is a very proper measure. Mr. McMaster is at work endeavoring to secure improvement In the public roads. This has been an object of careful thought with hIm for ,ears, and we hope be will succeed fin impressing its importance upon the Legialature. Colonel Simonton, of Charleston, is the leader of the House. As a par liamentarlan he cannot be excelled. lie knows everything that is going oi, and whenever the House gets into a tangle he always has an amendment or a sliggestioni that will cut the Gor din lk not. He is chairmanCli of the coln ini-e oin the ju1diclary. Mr. Geo'rge JtAhns ione. of New berry, chairman of '1 olnminitlee .on ways and Inmoans, ba y oung( man, is ani old mncm !- (ndon ot tlie best.

A young muember, Mr. Newton. of the l'eedee colntry, mlade a ringini speech in ald Vocacy of till appropriationi of two thoustid dollars for the Cowpelns Centennial. The bill passed the House, although several members op posed it. ' TifE SENATE. A short step across and the Senate Chamber is reached. This is the small, and by tradition, the dionifled .and coiiservative branch of the Assem 1great niiav y, flanked on onme side by Colonel Farro w, the clerk of a le Senato, anid by Colonel Gxoodwini, the readhing clerk, oni the other. Maniy niew faces are seen ini glancinig along the circuir rows ot desks, although several of them have been promnoted fi-om (lie other side of thie llouse. Amonig thmem are Seiiator Callisoni of Edgetleld, and Senator Glaillard. Mr. Gaillard sits Oin the rear row to the left, as one enters, and on the next, to the last seat fromn the (d0o1. The last seat is occuied by Miller, the mulatto Senator fr~om lleaulort, who, with a still darker confr)crc from Gecorgetowna, holds thle liatlicall fort, in a much milder way than lie was wont to do in the hevda'y of Recconstruction tinmes. Sellator Benbow, of M~arion, sits on Mr. Gail lar'sl' right, anid on his right Senator Callison, (lie wide-awake and irre pre'ssible represenitative of Edgetleld. Charlestoni, (or the first time since 18t1ll, is rep~resenited by two Democrat ic Senators, Siegling and Smythe, both lawyers, anid both able, but difiniig in thiis, that the forner' nover speaks, wvhIle thle latter is ever readlv. Senator Augustine T. Smythe is the'nlew Senia tor from Chiarlestoni.

The Senate had1( had a field day on Friday, over a bill to prevent dueliing, which was passed by a hiandsomne miajorit y.

They wore lookliig well, and Mr. Jones' gave good re ports of thon. They eXpressed thei. selves as well pleased, but were look ing for th1e Christmas holidays and for the good things at home. But this has already spun out to too great a length. Suffice it to say, the E'ditor got back safe to Winnsboro on Saturday night, so well ple'ised that he intends to go again ere long. IJ7ENNRTT AND GRIELEY, Two Remarkable Men-The Ambitions and Porsonal Appearance of Each. NOW York Letter to Cincinnati Gazette. The fbrmer was an Ann street man for six years, and What years of toil they werel le met Grecloy almost daili, but there was nto congeniality, and it Is doubtful If they ever hold a half hour's conversatio1. Bennett, however, saw the power of the labori ous printer and editor, who was plod ding with such determination, and he offered him a partnership in the 11er ald. Tho idea was impracticable, since each man was a lealder, and you might as well have united Blen Franklin and Voltaire in a grand jourtfialistic effort. B3oth Bennett and Greeley were aIbi tions, but one looked on the journal merely as the road to wealth and dis tinction, while the other viewed wealth merely as a means of making thejour nal. 'Tio perfect newspaper was Gree Icy's lifelong Ideal. Bennett cared nothing for the contents of his paper so long as it sold. Greeley, on the other hand, did not expoet wide popu harity, nor did he care for Its loss so long as the paper was maintained In its noble destiny. le did not (as he sail) "Oxpect to l)Case ovcry On1), but he intended to make a paper in which every body (of (ecent character) might find sonethng of Interest and nothing offiisive to morils." For this reason hoe minployod writers of classical attain ments, in which point ho was utterly deficient. Bennett, on tihe other hand, though at fie Latin and Greek scholar, was midifl'rent to lierairy style. I1e wanted a corps of free lancers to make forays oi society, and required spice rather ihanelegaice. Greeley essaved the discussion of social topics with a view of improving the raco, while Bennett onIly lauglied at the reformer and his ethics. ~To quote his words, "Grceloy was a galvanized squash." This wais the eind of all controversy. ien these remarkable men left Alnt street, one went to the cast and the other to the west. They, however only separated a few hundred feet, and for nearly thirty years cach labored inl producing a great journal-but what a gulf between them I Greeley and Bonnett, when they were Ann street editors, were both of slender build, but inl expression) of face there w as a vast difference. Their oflices were near, but they ap r'oached fcered Ann street from Broadway, while Bennett's route was from theo Nassau istreet cornier. Grm'eee, though slightfly stoop)ing, looked peo0'>1o square in the face, while Bennmett, who was four inches taller, stood bolt upright, buit fixed his eye downward(, as ihough to coneaml his repulsive feat ures. Benu nett walked stilily and carriedI a cane. Greeley wold have felt as awkwvard with the latter as lie would with a sword. Bennett dressed neatly. Grec Iey was a sloven. Bennett 'wrote a legible hand (hie was once a teacher) wvbile Greelcy's caligraplhy wvas abomi. inable. As an editor, Bennett's forte was to dictate, while Greeley's wvas to write. The I~erald's best ar'ticles were (don) by the staff, wvhile the Trui b~une's thunderbolts bore the stamp of its chief. Both of these men were abstemious, and alithough Bennett was often the apologist for' vice, his habits wore very correct.; his influi ence, however', was always for salei Each of these eccentric edi'tors, though ill1 adapted for' cour'tshiip, becamte amar ried men. Few had less time for love matters or less grace to in woman's favor' than Bennett, but he announced w ith priide hiis ailproachinug wedding. Tihe birth of le jeune editcur was ani mnunced wvith still greater pride ; and what a career' that young ed1ior lhas endured I Both Grecley and Bounet were borne to Greenwood eight years ago. STILL AZNOTHER 81HOW ."OR GRANT'. Thne Proposition to Mako Him a Senator from P'ennsylvania--The Whys aind tihe wherefores. Frnomi the Philadlelphia TIimues. h A mR Risnwno, November 28.-Do not be surprised it' General Gr'ant shamll tur'n up soon as the canididate of the Cameron and Iloyt anti-Gr'ow combi nation f'or' United States Senator. I speak advisedly in saying that it is ser'iouisly contemplllated, and some of' the leadei's regard 'such a result as mu mch mior'e thain pr'obable. Thme questioni of' Grant's eligibility has been fully considered, and no douibt is entertained that he can quali fy himself in a wveek or a day. The consitntionial requirement is that the United States Senatoi' shall be an "'inhabitant" of' the State, but no0 pei 0(1 of res5idence~ is specified, it is known that Grant has no settled reel denice, and lie can become an inhabi t ant of Pennsylvimnia any day, ie has a house in PhiladIelp~hia, aiid that cit~y is now as much his home as any other plaice in the counltry. This q1uestion has beeni caref'ully examined , and Grant is pronounced eligible. Ther'e at'e many reasonis wvhich corn himne to miake Granit the P'ennsy'lvania Senator. Fir'st of all anid the most im portant of all, is the fact that lie would r'equire no (divisioni of p~atr'onage. as all of' Cameron's frienids are Grant's friienids. T1hen Grant would be as silent as Canmeron in the Senate, and would not be puitting the young Senma tor mn unpleasanit contrast by active participation in debate. They would be inm accord in all thimngs; they would work togubher for 1884, and they would be in politics what Ingomar amid Par'thei a were in love-"two souls wvith but a single -lhought; two hearts that beat as onie." -Disease in fowls camn he prievenited by using Foutz's Celebrated Ihorse anid Cattle Powders In than. enood. 7 *b*,16XB FSOM 40A&4 . ----Druken'niess is spreading so much In German tbAt 6 new neasure for itsI Punishm 'alld preention is beig preparedf ' pt'eOsntiota'to the Im. perial Parliament. --There is a rumor that another im. potanit (Rotor Is aboputo be, imported Into the afir f.hoottish POerago, by the m.a~ .of, the" wager Duchess 9 .,. urghe ith a com, mioner. t %. - -In the last published list of ap. pointments and promotions from the -rltish war office, Coloael Dickens, of the TWOnt-eighth foot, has been placed on half pay, and Captain Thaok. erav, of'the same regiment, is pro moted to be najor. : -In consequence of the elevation of Migr.
