Had.it been cat off ^ v &J hostile corporations as Charleston is Jacksonville/had it been one big hotel, :>:.' ? or composed wholly of. hotels; wo aid nereriare grown to c Devourth its pres ent sizeand - importance. Let" this not be orerlboked in the calculation as to the effect of the projected hotel on the bnsmesaof Charleston. Asa nwtter of ^ fact, Jacksonville nerer began' to grow m;an^nnTuraal wa^~nntiHt had secur ed railroad facilities and conneetiona. ThW^^?l did not and could-not do it. V "i?S:?;^??minary to the boteis came the railrcads. Men of Charleston, look well so the facts U There is a vast dif r-v Carence sometimes between past hoc and jMVptrr hcc+ It does not follow that because Jacksonrille grew after she built eerta?n hotels, tne?efore she grew j on account of the hotels. There is the fallacy in the argument of the promoters of "the Eden'7 scheme. On the ether hand, secure the 3 (Ts," and what- are the results ? 1. -Charleston will hare a North western connection, and will be at once nncorked, whereas, now, she is "bot tled up7' worse than Ben Butler was at Bermuda Hundreds. 2. The 3 Cs road runs through or directly affects Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee?. West Virginia, North Caro lina and South Carolina, possibly also Indiana. If Charleston is made the water terminus of that road, then the Senators sad Representatrves from every . one of those seven or eight States be .come -directly and immediately inter ested in securing deep water on Charles ton Bar. With their united efforts, all j the money needed for that purpose could be procured from Congress, and -Charleston's future would be secure be- j y ond cav? L j "Now let ns show how it can be done, j With $250:000, at* least forty mile? of ' *oad can be built. That would carry the 3 CTs from Camden to the Claren don County Hue,-i;or even further. Th?se forty miles can then be bonded for $12,000 a mile, which would yield j $480,000, with which the seventy in* intervening miles could be bulk, and leave $125,000 over, to help get the road across the mountains. Of course it will be claimed that all this is written in the interest of Sum ter, not of Charleston. We deny it, but even if it were so; the question of in terest cannot affect the logic of facts. We regard the above as a demonstra tion that it is to the real interest of Charleston to secure the S Cs road, whether that road gives Sumter the go by or not. Charleston's position re mains the same ia either event. It is to be noted that with all the pressure bit busioess men were able to exert on the railroads now passing Ashley Junction, tbey were unable to secure anything but a courteous decli mation of their overtures. In other . wordf, Charleston has been knocked out in the first round. They need expect no favors from the railroads t aat pass her by. That ought, of itself, to aaojr the Charleston people the need of an outlet?the securing of a grand road that will make its terminus there. Then she can build all the Edens nhe wants, and 6li them with guests from the . Uizzard swept bleaknesses of the j g north wt??>?, but unless she does this or j I wtoe^t??ia^ j&^ncS Albabra- even ibrrowif?%r the j^deBa^of Apjprilo, md watere^?hjr P?oo ^?lien,- fii??eke^ ^"&phn^, writ save ^be? feo? ^OnVirae' peint. ? gentleman who j tain a position to know, recently said tons that the 3Cs bad not determined whether they would make - Charleston or Port Boyal its southern terminas. Froa^Kingarrllie to Fort Royal is only 9(?miles---(iessi in an air line)?fifteen miles nearer than Charleston is. Should they decide to go to Porjy Royal,: Charleston ^?done for.

Tenture to say, the identical one that is snpplyiag the S C'a with its money. If so, "the urgency of Charleston's need for action is only more sppireat. We hope that there will be found at least one newspaper in Charleston fasr minded and courageous enocgh. either to publish the subs tan ee jot these sug gestions or to refute them and show tbatthey are of no force. Charleston's life now hangs on a thread, and it xssbo time to be throwing dost in people's eyes or treating kind suggestions with the disdain oC> silence. We wish to see Charleston prosper, bat we do not. be Here the building of the Eden will ac complish that result. The securing of the 3 (Ts will, in our humble judgment. COMING HEBE. On reliable authority we are inform ed that the Eatawrille R. R. is certain ly coming to Shejter. A large force is said to be at work on . the road on this aide of the Santee river, grading it and getting it ready for the rails. A large part of the bridge over the river has been completed. The work is now stopped in order to get ready the Jdraw' span, which by law is required to he put in every bridge that crosses a nav igable river or stream. We do not know exactly how soon to expect this road, bat President Barkley says it will be herein ninety daya, or about Oct. 15th. We trust the energetic President's hopes may be realized. While we are waiting for the Eutnw ville road to put in an appearance, we are informed that certainly not later than Sept. 1st, the Coast Line exten sion frcs Su m ter to St. James Church , which is within two miles or Jess of Fulton P. O., in Clarendon Conoty, will be in operation. Everything is now ready for the rails, and the work of track-laying occupies but a short time. Our merchants ought to control every bale of cotton of the eight thousand within easy reach of this line. Already 'spies* are on the ground, preparing to get control of it for Charleston and Wilmington. It belongs to So citer by right of nature, bat it will be lost to us anlesa we stir our stamps and maker the proper efforts to secure it. Mark what we tell yon ! There is a fortune here awaiting the man of braios and pluck who will seise the opportunity. If some of oar own people do not avail them selves of it somebody will come here who will show us how to do it. ' Sam ter needs just such a man, badly. Every j demand meets its supply. That is the j invariable law of political economy. This demand will he supplied very soon, if not by one of ourselves, then by a stranger. It will then be oar extreme delight and exalted privilege to say, We told you so.' We had rather be deprived of this privilege than enjoy it, for the sake of oar city and oar own people. Bat, still, we would rather enjo^ the privilege than not see the bright /atme that is before as come quickly, as it* sorely most, if we can read the signs of the times. It is quite time Sumter exchanged its jacket for a frock-coat, and its knickerbockers for the trousers of a man, if it ever expects to in this world. Time and tide wait for do man. This is our opportunity to take the tide at its Sood. (From oar Eegs?ar Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. TtfASBrsoTc*, D. C, July 20, 1883. Senator Gorman, who baa just re turned from New York, where he went to attend a meeting of the National Democratic campaign committee, says the selection of Mr. Cacvia S. Brice for chairinau of that committee is very for tunate of the Democratic party, as he bas the braios and ability to do good service in the campaign. Some Demo crats io. Congress* bad been of the opin ion that Mr. Brice lacked the experi ence necessary for carrying on the sampaiga, but since he is endorsed by 1 is experienced a politician as his prede- { :essor Senator Gorman, everybody is ! ? satisfied. Secretary Vilas has appointed Rev. T. S. Childs, of this chy, Maj. It. B leaver, of Ark., and J. M. Smith, of (Vis , as a commissioo to negotiate with the Ute lodians in Southern Colo rado for their removal to fome other reservation. The President found it necessary | , igain this week to 'veto a number of j ? >riv?te pens'on b?ia. As usual his ! ?1 eaeons were conclusive. j !' The conferees on the river and bar- j j' >or bill are iu a dead lock. The House j I; jonferees object to the various caua" ! ippropriations added by the Senate. The bill to regulate inter-State tele- j. rapby has been favorably reported to i y he Senate. j 3 The fourth annual report of the Civil j ?' Service Commission has been placed iu ! A he hands of the President. During tbe ! * rear there were 15,852 persons exam- ! c< aed ; the names of 10,746 were placed I S a the list of eligibles, and 4,445 re- { J eived appointments.

It is understood that when the fort i Soatioo appropriation bill is reported to the House?probably neat week?it will appropriate some thing like $25, 0OO.O??. In spite of all reports to_tbe contra ry, I can officially, so to speak, an nounce that the President has made no definite plans far5a summer vacation, or will be, ontil Congress shall agree upon a date for adjournment. Before this letter is in type, the >iilla tariff bill will probably bave passed the House, and the democratic party will have officially placed itself on record as being in favor of revenue reform. The number of" democrats who voted against, the free wool clsuse?three? probabl^ represents the number which will vote against the bill when it is put upon its final passage, y Mr. Randall ia improving slowly, and bis family hope to be able to carry him to. bis country residence near Philadel phia in a few days. The fisheries treaty has taken np a considerable portion of the time in the Senate this week. Senator ?Pagh made a strong and sensible argument in favor of its confirmation, and 'Little Billy' Chandler made a speech, composed equally of protection and bloody shirt, against it. ? bill has been passed by .the Senate appropriating $55,000 for the erection of a monument in Louisville, Ky., to George Bogers Clark, who captured the Northwest Territory. The date for the great Cleveland and Thurman ratification meeting in this city has been definitely set, September 7. The republicans of the House, by their action.in refusing to vote, Wednes day, on the tobacco clause of, the tariff bill, left the House without a quorum and caused an adjournment, when it had been arranged to take a. recess to an evening session for the purpose of act ing upon bills from the labor committee. It is believed it was done purposely. ?t is said that republican members of the Senate committee on finance already bave printed copies of the, proposed Senate tariff bill. Magnolia Pemoeratic Club.

Resolved, Thatetbe Secretary be instructed to hare the proceedings of this meeting pub lished in the Watehmaqpind Southron and tbe Sumter Advance. Mr. A. C.
