Tb* Yonmaus-CBrian attempted dael in Barnwell is being discussed in a number of papers over thc State, and in some of them the anti-duelling law en our statute books is heavily spoken against. It seems that the law officers in Barnwell paid nc atteution to the Yoomans-O'Brian trouble, but simply ignored the whole matter, Whereupon a correspondent in the Barnwell Senti ne? commends the said officers, and writes up the bright side of the "code of honor." He says that duelling has subserved a useful purpose, preventing street fights and bally ism, and causing men to remember that there arc social laws more" sacred than any found upon the statute book. -^ THE CZAR'S CBOWN, If we were the Czar of "Russia, we would just step out among our devoted subjects, and say that, apon re fie ct ion wc don't want any crown-in fact would rather not have' rt. If some one should ask ns, why ? v?e would an? swer : "Things are getting too much mixed ; our envoys have purchased all the flowers on an island in a southern sea to strew over our path-way, while it requires several hundred guardsmen to arrest all those in St. Petersburg who say they want our head." Now, of the two we would prefer to have a head and no crown, than a crown and no head. -^ j KEW RAILROAD MOVEMENT. j Northern Capital Coming to South L Carolina. J ^he following clippings from our ex ! change^ contain cheerful news for those of ! oar people?ybo are anxious for the devel I opment of oth<*jlroad facilities, and the j opening of portions*^ our State much j in need of improved^ulet&s. of int?r i coarse with the outside world : ! The subscription books to the capital i stock of the Mount Pleasant, Santee land Little River Railroad Company were opened at Mount Pleasaut on Monday the 16th inst. After twenty five shares had been taken by local par? ties, Mr. J. W. DeLano, Attorney for fi. Blanchard representing a sydicate of Boston capitalists came forward and j took the whole of what was left-49,970 shares, at $20 dollars each, making ; $999,500. As soon as the right of i way shall have been secured the work j of construction will begin. This road will open one of the finest lumber sec? tions of the State. The News ami Courier of the 19th says : A reporter called yesterday upon Mr. J. W. D?Lano, who as attorney for Mr. H Blanchard, recently sub ; scribed $999,500 to the capital stock of j the Mount Pleasant, Santee and Little j Biver Railroad. Mr. DeLano willing ! ly exhibited the power of attorney under ! which he bad made the subscription, and j then in compliance with the request of '; bis interviewer went on to sive as much ; as he knew concerning the plans and j projects of his principal. Mr. Blanch ! ard, be said, represented a Boston syn I dicate which bad at its control not less ? than $20,000,000, and which proposed t to build new lines of railroads between . the North and South and the West and j South. The first idea of the syndicate ; was to build a road between Richmond, j Ya., and Georgetown S C., but upon hts j representation Georgetown as a port of : outlet was abandoned, and the syndi- j i cate decided to make Charleston their I Southern terminal point. I The new company to which Mr. | i DeLauo subscribed $999,500 recently i for Mr. Blanchard has a charter which j contemplates a railroad from Mouut Pleasant to Little River, N. C., cross- j ; ing the Santee and taking in George ! town. From the North Carolina line | ! the syndicate have already a charter j which will carry them to Richmond, j ?and which, they claim, will shorten the ; distance between Charleston and New \ ! York fully if not more than one hun- I I dred mile?. Nr. DeLano says the j Mount Pleasant ro^d will be completed 1 and in running order as far as the San- ! ; tee River by next fall. The company j j will have depots in Charleston and ; ; Mount Pleasant and will transport their | car? from one place to the other as may ! ' be desired by means of double coder ferry boats. The same syndicate propose also to . build a shorter route to the Wost and ' Northwest. The first link tn this will < be the construction of an entirely new road from Georgetown to Lancaster, running through Williamsburg, Ciar-! endon, Sumter and Kershaw Coun-1 ties. From Lancaster a direct line to the West wili be obtained which will j shorten the distance between Charles- j ton and Cincinnati over 180 miles Mr. Blanchard is now in Boston, J and is expected here about May, Isl, j when, Mr. DeLano said, bc had no j doubt fuller and more detailed informa- j tion of the plans of tbe syndicate could i be obtained. j The Gaffney Carolinian, after quoting j the account of thc proceedings of the re- j cent meeting of the G. & N. C. N. G. i R. R. stockholders, says : "We have every assurance of the j early completion of a Narrow Gauge i Railroad from Rutbert'ordton via Gaff- ! ney City and the Skull Shoals neighbor- j hood to Union and thence by easy ; means to Newberry, Edgefield and Au- ! gusta. The proceedings of the George- j town Railroad Convention give solid and ; substantial promise of a Narrow Gauge ; Railroad line from the Atlantic Oceau to Lancaster. Lancaster is now joined ' to Chester by a Narrow Gauge line in op?ration. It would bet st*ort j?jox- < pensive line to run fioui Chester to some convenient point on the Union, Gaffney City and Rutherford, R. R. wbicb being extended Northward, by tbe practical plans tn view, to Johnson City on tbe East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia Railroad would realize to us the grand dream of a generation Railroad connection between tbe Atlan? te and the great Northwest. South of us, and North of us, and at booie the money is forthcoming for this project. The time is ripe and the peo? ple ready, let their demand be heralded and answered. The Georgetown 'f?mes of last week ? las tbe following notice of the meeting of the stockholders of the G. & N. C. N. G. R. R. Co., in that place on last Tuesday : The stockholders of this Company held a meeting again this week, with. President Blandiug, of Sumter, in the chair, who addressed words^ of encour? agement to those present, ns to the bright prospects of continuing the work before us. Our road was certainly the shortest direct route from the west to the sea coast, and if this present syndi? cate of capitalists failed us now, it was only a question of time when others would come forward. A telegram was read from Mr. Blanchard, dated from Boston, saying, he was detained at j borne by sickness, but would meet the ! company at a later day. An election for two directors, to fill vacancies caused by death, etc.. was held, and resulted in the choice of Messrs. I. Baum and B. A. Munnerlyn. Mr. R. E. Fraser was elected secretary and treasurer. A committee of five, consisting of Mess. R. Dozier, R. E. Fraser, D. Risley, I*. S. Ebrich, and H. Ka mioski, were appointed to treat with M. Blanchard on his arrival here, on tbe subject of building this line. Williamsburg was represented in tbe . meeting by Mr. McCotchen. WASHINGTON LETTER. ?From our Regular Correspondent.] ^".SHI?QTON, April 20, 1883. j Arnon- notabilities now visiting the I city is H err ??Most the German labor ! agitator and/communist. He address? ed a large audience Weduesday even? ing in Cosmopolitan Hall on the labor question. 'His listeners were mostly j Germans, aud he spoke in the German < toogue. 'He has a sharp, but distinct i voice and] speaks with great vigor. He j urged the working people to organize at j once into trades unions and protect j themselves against monopolists, factory j kings, ' landlords, and stock-brokers, j wbcm he called higb-born robbers. He I recapitulated the woes of tbe down-trod j den niasses of Ireland, and thought ! the American people should support and sustain the Irish in their struggles against English rule. He was fre? quently applauded. Hon. S. S. Cox of New York arrived j in yne city Wednesday from Richmond j where bc bad been lecturing for some I charitable object. He is one of tbe j most confident aspirants for speakership ' of the next House. He says he will j have the New York delegation to stip j port ti rn, besides votes in Wisconsin, j Virginia, and Missouri delegations, i which have been pledged to him by uo j requested letters. j The new Postmaster General is al I ready besieged by unreasonable office j seekers. The other day a paper was ! unceremoniously thust into his hand, ! which upon examination proved to be j a petition from an applicant for the i position of driver of a little Govern j ment conveyance used by the Depart ; meot. The plea was, that as the present j incumbent had held the office a long j while be onght to be removed to make j room for tbe claimant who was out of ? bread. After reading the paper through ! carefully and listening patiently to the j man's argument, Judge Gresham, with ! difficulty concealing his amusement, : gravely replied that, as this was one : of the most important questions that ! would come before him, he would not : venture to decide it under less than two j or three months careful consideration, j Col Bob Ingersoll, the irrepressible ! infidel, and the apostle of amateur : thinkers, had another opportunity this j week of delivering an agnostic lecture : beside the bier of a dear friend. I I think Col. Bob dotes on these funeral j occasions. They afford inspiration for j j his style of eloquence, while his listen j ers, awed by their sombre sorrouud I inges and what be calls 'the mystery of j death,'are not critically acute to bis! ! brilliant inconsistencies, nor inclined to I \ test their coherency. !
