That i- h matter for Mr Calv..; bi t in our Judgment, Ibo resignation ol' Cal. Thomas comes from a iiiiseu?iic>>p tlon bf the duties of an editor, and we deeply regret tittie any mun in South Carolina hould be forced to * resign stich a position, fdr similar1 reasons. Col.

Thomas, an I ?u nce Hu resignal ion. Col. Thomas may <it i my not be right. Tho fact (hat he stands in the minority on such tv quest! iii ls by no means conclusive that lie is tn error. ' The question ofhavingthi i canal completed by Cae city of Columbia like mest other question, hus lw? Bides, and the spirit which will cul oft* an adversary lu debute, or lis ten to only one -ide Of lill argil' ment of this kind, when tho quos tlon affects tho j rights, property and prosperity of Ihe whole commit nijy, ls absolutely Indefensible. Mr. Calve saj s : I bavo had no nppiehsn-j^a that C.. monsuro would no1, provull, and us? fm us tho proser.latlon.of further argu mon gooa, do not doom lt nt ; !1 essential, ] nevertheless rocogu'.zo tho fact Hitit llb community havo a right to expect Hu Register to lOflcct their Vlowa, windi aooordiugwi til mine, [ stud I I). "I nevertheless roc ignlzo tho fuel that this community have a right to cxpoct the Resistor IJ < y. c. their vinos, which, nccording'wttli min?.', I shall do." Thia ?sentence from Mr Calvo, ?snot exactly eleni If it moans, that boas proprlotoi directs the COU rae ol' the jmjrar, then the resignation of Col. Thomas is right, but we cannot hist i fy such a course on tho ground (hat "(lie community have ti rigid to OJ p ?I the Register lo retied their view ;." No Such right doe* any communi ty possess, mid an editor who seeks only to relied tho viowsof lila com munity is unworthy ol' Hie position. laboral minded men will never refuse lo allow an honest difference of opinion. Editors ure fallible, but their duty ls t<> find thc right, and ihen maintain it fearlessly. The man who seek ; to find Ile right by sounding tho senti mont oi bis neighbors, bus yet to learn the first lesson in newspaper work. WO do llOt believe the people ol Columbia are so inlolernnl ns lo require Col. Thomas to resign. We do not boliovo flinn so illibornl as to refuse to bear him, however clearly they may ?< e tho lalla cy of his arguments. Coi. Thomas is one of the few men who possess (dour Judgment, elegant diction, tho personification of honor; coupled with tho COU urge to adv?cate tho right us ho conceiv es it in the face of defeat, The re tirement of this mun ls mi Irrepar able low to tho Journalism of this State. AN ORNAMENT TO THE CITY. It is said a corporation has no soul. This is a misiako, for if any one will mnko an inspection of tho elegant accommoda tiona affordod passengers at the Bpartnnbtirg eV Augusta depot, they mustconclude that the Georgia Central flail road has a great big heart/ thal respond?? to tho demands of the traveling public. Tho depot In question Is ono of tho most elegant buildings in tho Soulh-it beggars descrip tion. Such an imposing structure Is an ornament to any city, andi's calculated to impress strangers With the extent, importance and progressiveness of th? live town of Laurens. When we reflect Hint tho company receive from pnsscn ivers alono nt this point, un aver age of a lilllo over ono thousand dollars por month, this magnanim ity in ?riving tho people such grand accommodations ls ?ll tho moro wonderful. Wo fear the people do not fully appreciate the advantages of (hi-> depot, so a few will be given lu detail. First ol' nil, Hie waiting room for passengers. Here we liavo spacious hall * ft. x io, whore In rain or shine, summer and wit - tor tho door stands open to receive gu of all named nationalities, colors and condition. No distinc tions ure allowed, bulall are wei-j corned, and tho writer Las seen no less than twenty ?fl ve, (which al lowa each person Ute right to o?cu- j ? a foot an*! u half square on the floor) stand huddling avouud a few coals In tho vain endeavor to heep from free?!ug. iJ?.t this building ii pr r agu i nid fre??fiing, for the wea therboodiug Uo< ps ott" ono leuth of ; thc wind, rain and snow, tho boiirds , bein"; placed u >i in any iustauce moro than half-inch apart.

The beauty of tili? can only bo scum in bud-weather-it makes passengers eager to gi ? through with such mat* , to rs. j in oilier word", they buy tick? ci i with li rush.

A.j 0U? WASHINGTON LETTER, (From Our Regular C'orrcontlont.) Thc two most important events of tho weelc are tho re-u.s.sombliiig ol Congress and Ibo resumption ol I work by thc special international j parliament-tho Fisheries Commis sion. Tho House of Representn j lives heard only yesterday the an nouncement of thu arrangement of its committees, but the Senate is ul rcady In tho midst of a battle. Tho first matter of consequence i presented In tim Senate after tho holiday recess was tho resolution In reference to tho distribution ol tlio President's message. Tins was made the protoxt for Mr. .Sherman, ! in bis feverish baste and anxiety t< . gol e\. n with Mr, Bininu in mah . lng au open bbl for tho Uopubiienti _ Presidential nomination, to launch j a harangue, something niter the rj manner of a stump speech, in which 1 ! he. sharply tukos President Cleve , I land and tho democracy to task on j I the tariff question. Hut the eon suming aspirations of the Ohio Sen ute have led him to adopt a course > of conduct wholly acceptable to thc s democracy, as is shown by the mas t terly rejoinder of Senator Voorhees ,u who was only too glad to avail bim self of this occasion to emphasize r the views of the President and th< h policy of the party. I Tho tariff debate, thus bravely . opened, may continue for feomi lime in the Upper House, as sever 1 al of tho Senators have announced . their intention to discuss that issu* - in all its bearings. Still il is poss! [ bio that the tariff debate may bc interfered with nt any moment by the Blair Educational bill, which 1 bas precedence ol'al! other matters - on account of its being (ho only "un t finished business." The New Hamp , shire Senator declares it to lie his ' purpose to push ins bill from day ' to day until the question ls dispos ! ed of. He espressos himself ns be ing confident that his cherished . measure will pass both houses and ho believes the President will np j prove it. As to the latter opinion, ? a prominent Congressman remark . ed, Mr. Blair's hope for his bill is without foundation, lu all ol'Mr. Cleveland's career, ho has never cither by deed or word, committed himself to any scheme of paternal legislation like the Blair bill. "He said further that be knew that his Democratic brethren were divided upon Ibis question, many of tho leading men ?d' the party being in Ibo ufhTmutive side. But bo thought it would be better to net cathe Na poleonic military maxim ol'Unding out what our enemies wish us lo do and then pursue a contrary course. He thought Presiden I Cleveland v? ou ld be likely to regard it in that light. Of important proposed legislation in the House it muy bo well to mention Mr. Springer':-, bill to cre ate tho Territory of Oklahoma by consolidating tho tribes in thc In dian Territory nuder that form of government. It is understood that another bill on Hie same subject but of an entirely different charac ter will bo introduced. Thc latter selieme proposes to remove the In dians to tho custom part of t ho Ter ritory and to form a new Territory out of tho western portion, adding there to tho region of country known as "No .Man's Land," which would make ti Territory nearly ns large as tho State of Ohio. It ls said thia plan will be strengthened by thc support ol'tho Administra tion. There ls a probability that Wash ington, Montana and Dakota Terri tories will bo admitted as States lids year upon the condition that they shall not vote for President until tho olection in 18!)L\ Repre sentativos Crain, of Texas, is pre paring to submit bis constitutional amendment to change thc timo ol meeting of Congress. The 81st. of December at noon is substituted for thc 4th of March as tho time for tho beginning and termination of the ofDciul terms of members of tho House. Congress shall meet nt least once each year on tho first Monday In January, unless other wise ordered by that body. Should the bill pass both Houses, lt must be ratified, of course, by two-thirds of the State Legislatures before it can become a law of tho land. One of tho most ludicrous scenes yet wit newsed in the House was When Mr. Bou tel lo, of Maloo, who has mad? some llttlo reputation as a sectional agitator, called up the Hebel Flag inquiry. Instantly there were a dozen objections, but Mr. Campbell, of New Yarli, mere ly assumed picturesque attitude and exclaimed "Ugh," at the same moment bringing his first dawn upon his desk with such vigorous energy as to bo recognized by tho presiding officer as entitled to the floor. Tho lillie man from Maine persists in playing tho Innocent Abroad for tho House of Represen* tat!vos. He seldom rises to his feet without making himself ridiculous. | The Y? M. C. A. Ct ?, Editor Advertiser: In behalf of the Young Men'.* .Christian Association we desire to thank the kind popio of Laurens for their liberal contributions for the inmates of tho Laurens County Poor House.
