THE FREE PASS BUSINESS. Senators and Representatives arc allowed mileage from their respective loonies to Washington, when they go fo attend the sessions of the Senate ,md Congress, but Mr. jLrby isthirfty .enough to get a free pass, and so of ^course can pocket the amount allowed hv law for his traveling expenses. -What service will Mr. Irby render rhe railroads in return for this ^orutesy? BETTER |.ET HIM ALONE. There seems to be a disposition, ^n some quarters, to read Cov. Till- inan out of tije Alliance on account ,of his opposition to *hc suh-treasiiry but it isgojng to be a pretty trouble some job to whoever jmdertakes it, for he is, unqueslionahly, the ablest ^naiq intellectu'illy, that the organi zation ha* ii> tl;e State; and in addi tion to this he isa quick and able deba ter, and will make things pretty warm for the man wl;o attacks him. We predict dial by the time he finishes up -Tei rell, his enemies in the order will, ^consider prudence the better part ,p£ falflif. OFFICE SEEKING. « If Senator Mettze, of Lexington, had had any sense of dignity or self I'esueet, ho would never have issued a circular letter advocating his ..claims and fitness for the most im- iHirtaut judicial office in the State. It is without parallel in the history of the State, so far as we know, and the mere fact of hiselectionering for the place shows his peculiar unfit ness for the high office to which lit he aspires. Under ordinary circum stances, these would not he the least .chance of his election, but we art living in the midst of strange times, in a political sense, and the Lcgis latuve may see tit to gratify his am bition by giving him this reward for ids political service, but it will be a great reproach to the State if such an unblushing politician should wear the juaicial pmiinc. THE UOFERIVOR’S FREE PASS. Whatever may have been Mr. /-Tillman's motive in accepting a pas; over the Richmond and Danville q-adfoad, 4 is ygj.y certain that In lias made a mistake, and one that his political enemies, and some o: his Alliance friends will not be slov to avail themselves of. After de nouneing, during the recent cam paign, the State officials for accept ing free passes, it was, to say the least, extremely inconsistent for him to ac- ■ eept one himself. He ouglit to have .known that his administration would meet with a very large share of criticism, and it would have been more in accord with wisdom to have avoided giving his enemies such chance as this. It would hardly be fair to say that he was actuated by impure meetives in accepting this pass but it was neet jinl jcious, and he wa; very un.yist* t<i subject himself to the charge of being influeuceel by the railroad corporations. He simple puts himself under obligations wide:! a public official should never assume 1 CHANGED FRONT. Tile World, which during the late .campaign was the organ eef <iov .Tillman and his adherents, ha changed front aiid is now pretty vigorous in its criticism of the pres 1 .put administration. The outcome ot the change is a movement to establish an organ that can ho depended oi je> support all the measures of those who neiw control the State (iovern incut. Of cqurae thee gentleman in jerested in this scheme have both the ability and means to establish an organ, and keep it alive, but, it is extremely questionable if it can ever Jk* made a paying enterprise, and it js very probable that its backers would quarrel among themselves as to what policy it sliquhl pursue. The Governor would to a considera ble extent dictate its policy, and this Would, of course, mean lighting the Sub-Ti'ea§(iry. It could not bc.ex jx'cted that Talbert and Stokes and the supporters of this scheme would jpuport it, and this would, of course. pp.C leave it a very large constituency |p depend on. Resides this the field js pretty well occupied so far as daily papers are concerned. CHARLESTON BRANCHING OFT Under the above heading the New and Gouricr has something to say in regard to the completion of the C, S. & N. railroad, and also, states that solid trains will he run between Charleston and Fayetteville. Of pourse the completion of this road will 1* a good thing for Charleston, but we fail to see w here the Iminch- s ing out comes in on the part of that city, as it w as with the utmost diff iculty that Charleston could he in duced rb?- ?mp.U umw.nt of seven thousand dollars to put , itself in dkect eommunicajiyu with the •ich find prosperous county of Marlboj-jaJgh. TheJAall town of Be||ettsvilje gave fl^een thousand dojlurs, and Darlington about eighty thousand dollars to have the road extended fi-pra Sumter, .to.. Reuucttsville. Charleston has now a fine opportu nity to extend her trade, but if she does not make some effort to get it, some other enterprising city will get ahead of her. We jyant Charleston to prosper, but the trouble is they won’t adver tise themselves* it being very proba ble that her business ujen spend less money in this way than those of any other city of equal size.
