UNANIMOUS.
The election of the Democratic
rominees for city offices in Charles
ton, last Tuesday, was such a one
sided affair as to be almost unani
mous. As Democratic victories in
the South are generally attributed to
intimidation, &c. , we expect to see
some fellow rise up after awhile and
inform us that the election, was a
mere farce, that the Republicans
didn't nominate any ticket and run
any candidates because they were
"skeered." Qf course this 13 not true,
as the ticket elected was endorsed by
the people, irrespective of party, and
received the support of both Demo
crats and Republicans, but a charge
of this kind would be just as good
and just as true as nine-tenths of the
other stories in political matters circu
lated about the Southern Democrats.
There is a moral in this election. A
very large portion of the voting pop
ulation of Charleston is composed of
colored men, who endorsed the ad
ministration Oi Mayor Courtenax juid
voted for his re-election, and also for
the aldermen on the ticket with hirn.
This, be it remembered, too, when
the effort is being made to revive the
civil rights agitation in Congress
and when white Congressmen and
negro politicians, who seldom come
South of the Potomac, are represent
ing that the colored people are terri
bly ostracised and oppressed by the
white people, and demand and must
have more 6tringent government pro
tection. The fact that in the city of
Charleston the great body of the col
ored voters support a Democratic ad
ministration does not seem to fit so
well with these wholesale charges of
oppression.
The case of Ex Senator Kellogg,
charged with complicity in the star
route frauds, has been continued to
next term of Court; on motion of the
government, on account of inability
to secure the presence of John A.
Walsh, an important witness. The
government does not find quite so
much difficulty in gettiftg witnesses
in election cases.
As the result of dime novel reading

diaries. While t he Secretary of the Treasury
estimates that from $45,000,000 to
$50,000,000 ought to be provided for
the sinking fund. Senator Beck con
tends that $5,000,000 or $7,000,000 at
most will be ample to meet all the re
quirements.

and sentenced in the last term of the

IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AS SEEN BY
THE INSPECTING COMMITTEE,
Ol tbe ChArloUeYttoinmbia An post a
Railroad Company, ubpnitted to the
Annual meeting of the Stockboide'rs
Held OA Dec. 5, 1883.
As a matter of public, interest just
at this time we publish below the re
port of the inspecting -committee of
the Charlotte, Columbia' & Augusta
Railroad Companj , submitted to the
annual meeting of the stockholders,
held in Columbia Dec. 5th, and bear
ing immediately on the -effects 'of the
workings of the Railroad Commission
in South Carolina. It speaks for it
self: To the Stockholders of the Charlotte,
Columbia & Augusta Kailruad
Company:
The committee appointed at your
last annual meetin, naving perform
ed the duties assigned to them, beg
to report :
That the road bed and track are in
an improved condition ; seventy six
miles of 6teel rails, with the fish bar
fastenings, having been laid, and twa
thousand tons additional rails con
tracted for, to be delivered at an early,
date. The rolling stock and motive
power are in fair condition, and the
former meets the demands of the bus
iness, while the latter has been taxed
to its utmost capacity this fall, even
with a comparatively light cotton
crop. It is suggested that at least
three additional locomotives will be
required for the next year, to meet
the increasing demands of transpor
tation. Your committee were grati
fied to see increased facilities in the
appointments along the lines; but
still repeat their former recommen
dations of greater conveniences for
freights at Augusta and for passen
gers at Charlotte.
The system of accountability with
agents is well maintained. The sala
ries of officers and the compensation
to employes appear reasonable and
just. The arrangements made with
other corporations in the syndicat ,
where joint into ests are involved,
appear to be fair and just, the pro
portion of receipts and charges being
equitable and according to the respec
tive rights of each party.
From the earnings of the company,
you will 6ee that relatively a very
large proportion of its income is de
rived from its local business. This is
a great security in future to the
stockholders, and shows the large re
sources and capabilities of the coun
try contiguous to the line for a per
manent business. This cannot be
easily diverted from it. Your com
mittee think the thraugh business has
not been sufficiently cultivated, and
would suggest that the passenger re
ceipts might be largely increased by
double daily passenger trains one to
be a fast train from Washington city
to Augutta via the Virginia Midland
(the shorter line), stopping only at
prominent stations, and making the
time between Cliarkttj and Au
gusta in seven hours or less. This
might restore much of the travel now
going by the coast and Western lines
(by longer routes), to Florida, South
ern Georgia, and the Gulf coast, in
eluding New Orleans and Texas.
This through travel is a growing in
terest, an increasing volume, and is
well worthy of active competition.
Much of this could be thus attracted
to your line.
It is gratifying to the stockholders
to know that the charges of both pas
senger and freight transportation
have been materially reduced within
the last live years, voluntarily, by
the officers of the company, and that
the expectations of the public have
been generally met and satisfied with
the reasonable charges adopted- Your
property, under this conservative
policy of increasing the speed of trains
and reducing charges, was gradually
assuming a value and increasing its
usefulness as a public age?it of trans
portation. But the Legislature, doubt
let g from the high st motives of pa
triotism, adopted ft different course
in regard to her railroads. The legis
lation for that purpose was passed on
the 9th of February. 1882, with sub
sequent amendments, entitled "An
Act to provide a general railroad law
for tbe management and regulation
of railroads in the State, and for the
appointment of a railroad commis
sioner, and to prescribe his powers
and duties." Under this law. three
commissioners were appointed, with
almost absolute power over the very
life of these corporations. Section 41
provides that "the entire expenses of
the railroad commission, including
all salaries and expenses of every
kind, shall be borne by the several
corporations owning and operating
railroads within this State." These
railroads all pay their taxes as assess
ed on other corporations in the State.
Their property is already taxed as
other propt rty. Then why assume to
make them pay another tax on the
same property? Section -12 says, ''the
commissioners and t' eir secretary
shall be transported free of charge . .
. . ove! all railroads, .... and may
take with them experts or other
agents whose services they may deem
to be temporarily of importance, and
who shall in like manner be tram
ported free of eharge." Thus t.o dif
ferent taxes are imposed upon these
corporations one for the State and
one for the commissioners. State offi
cers appointed for the oppression of
this class of property J Is not this the
refinement of injustice and cruelty f
The State Constitution requires all
taxes to be uniform, and upon the
real value of property. These taxes
and impositions appear to your com
mittee to be in violation of an express
provision of the Constitution, Sec
tion 45 is even more arbitrary,
and is in these words; Whin
ever, in the judgment of the
railroad commissioner, it shall appear
that repairs are necessary upon any
such railroad, or that any addition to
the rolling 6tock, or any enlargement
of or improvement in the station or
station houses, or any modifications
in the rales of fare for transporting
freight or passengers, or any change
in the mode of operating the road and
conducting its business, is reas nable
and expedient, in order to promote
the security, convenience and accom
modation of the public," &c.
This sectson shows a most extraor
dinary power over the control ever
private private property, and virtu
ally assumes that the State has an
absolute right and title to all such
propertj .
It takes the control and manage
ment almost entirely out of the
hands of officers and agents appoint
ed by the stockholders. They become
mere automatons of the commission
ers. Although the legislature may
have the right to regulate and con
trol such corpora' ions to a ceitain
extent, it i not believed that the
powr W destroy tbe value of such
property was evea intended to be
conferred upon it. or to use and oc
cupy it without just compensation.
The Act also is in violation of the
express charter rights of you" com
pany. This,too,under conformity with
charters passed by three States, giv
ing the right to charge certain rates
for transportation of freights and
passengers. In the Granger cases,
decided by the Supreme court of the
United States, it is assumed that this
i unconstufional, because it impairs
the obligation of contracts. In other
Siates, the riy;ht to maintain these
charter rates has been conceded as
inviolable contra ;ts between the
State and the corporation until the
expiration of existing charters. By
the 4th section of the Act, all char
ters heretofore granted are made to
conform to this Act, disregarding the
chartered rights or contracts made
with the companies. The Act exe
cuted in its proper spirit will require
uniform rates over all roads and for
all distances. This will work oppres
sively on many roads and many por
tions of the State, especially those re
mote from cemmercial marts, and
cause much freight to pas- out of the
Sta e to the nearest through line,
without reaching the seaboard cities
of the State.
It is not to the mere changes of
rates that your committe object, but
to the effect such extreme and radi
cal legislation will have to destroy
public canfidonce in all railroads and
stop their construction in the State.
Your committe know of over one
hundred miles of road that would
have been under construction to day
within the State, but for this unwise
legislation. It is not the commis
sioners that are objected to, but the
extraordinary powers with which
which they are attempted 10 be in
vested. Massachusetts and Virginia have
each wisely organized a railroad com
mission, but with no such extra
ordinary powers. In these and
most of the other States the commis
sion has limited powers, and acts as a
mediator between the roads and the
public, and, in all cases of wrongs
and injuries not lighted, reports the
company to the proper State author
ity, which, under general laws, insti
tute the necessary proceedings and
thus the rights of all are maintained
To such a commission your commit
tee see no objections. The policy of
the South Carolina Act is as obnox -ious
as is its disregard of legal obliga
tions. The railroa .s of the State have done
more to create wealth and taxaole
resources, improve and advance so
ciety, and elevate the State, t h:11 all
other progressive agencies The
rapid march of material and social
activities follow in their wake. Why,
then, brand them vith a commission
of espionage? Why place a special
commission of surveillance over their
management and conduct, and thus
stigmatize them as aliens to the com
monwealth and dangerous to socie y?
Have they committed any great
wrong that should invoke the entire
power of legislation against them in
a manner most calculated to destroy
the property of patriotic investors in
their construction '.
All great improvements are not
unmitigated blessings. The purest
gold is not without some alloy. That
occasional wrong may be done is
admitted, but where one person suf
fers, a thousand are benefitted by
railroads. A respectable corportion
cannot afford to intentionally wrong
an individual in a community upon
which it is dependent for its success.
Yet errors may occur in the business
transactions of all persons, both arti
ficial and natural. The executive
officers are generally gentlemen of
character and reasonable in their pol
icy. Because these corporations are
the result of many small combina
tions of capital, making a large ag
gregate, the unintelligent look upon
them with an invidious eye. This
feeling, pandered to by the dema
gogue. may bo carried into higher pla
ces. Hence legislation may go too
far and become ruinous to the people
and tne State. The North and
West have three miles of road where
we have one, and they have not the
half they require. South Carolina
needs ten miles fpr one she now has.
The people of the State have not the
means or ability to construct them.
They are dependent upon foreign
capital to build them. But will it
come in the face of such legislation?
No sane man will ever believe that
it will. Then what is the remedy ?
By wise and liberal legislation
invite capital and labor into the State,
build more roads, multiply their
number until every section of the
State is supplie r, and the competition
of many roads vvijl ettlo all vexed
q lestiohs at issue more effectually
than a commission, Railro-ids are
but in their infancy and require the
fostering care of the State. Capital
will trust the "judgment" of
your Legislature under fair
and general laws, but not that of
one or five men invested with supreme i
authority, and subject to the changes
and whims of popular feelings. Your
committee have no word of reflection
upon the present commissioners indi
vidually. On the contrary, they
know them to be gentlemen of high
character and patriotic purposes. But
what security have you for the future
in the changes that may take place in
the fierce contests for office, the bitter
partisan strife that may arise? For
the safety of the State and security
of the people, legislative control by
general laws is a higher guarantee for
right and justice th n the "judg
ment" or discretion of one or more
individuals of pure and elevated
charaeter,even wt re there a certainty
of always having such commissions.
Having the virtual control of an im
mense capital, with its officers and
agents subordinate, the temptations
c, cupidity and ambition might re
quire the exercise of the highest forti
tude and integrity to maintain the
ritrht in the environments by which
they are likely to he surrounded.
The act is a wonderful consolida
tion of power in the hands of three
men. It attempts to confer more
authority upon the commissioners
over all the railroads of the State than
the officers of any single road have
over it from their stockholders.
It creates an immense monopoly of
power, and is fran ed in an autocratic
spirit. The Granger Acts did not go
as far as this law, as your committee
understand.
It is communistic and agrarian in
its tendency, and applied only to one
class of property, ana tnat tne most
useful to the State. .
It violates private rights, and may-
prove a dangerous precedent in future
to the ngnts 01 otner property.
It has already stopped the construe
tfon of other roads, not commenced
It has greatly depressed the value
of all railroads in the State.
In fact, it is doubtful if some of the
roads in the State can long continue
in oneration. Your stock is now
worth less than half of what it was
about the time of the passage of the
law.
Your committee are not aware of
more than one road in the State that
has declared a dividend since the
war. They are poor indeed, and yet
made the objects of the most oppres
sive enactments. Already this species
of property has depreciated millions
of dollars since the passage of this
law. Foreign capital and labor are
repelled, and that at home driven
from the State. Before the war South
Carolina was distinguished for her
conservative legislation and punctili
ous regard for the rights of the citi
zen. This Act does not sustain that
high character.
xgain, the evil effects which have
been predicted by politicians in re
gard to these "monopolies and com
binations" have not been developed
in this or any other country. When
the Northwestern railroad of England
had consolidated over thirty other
roads under its management, the
people had some fears and apprehen
sions of the "great combination."
Parliament was petitioned, and ap
pointed a commission to examine into
the effects it would have on the na
tion. The commissioners reported
"that the evils anticipated had not
been realized; that freights were
lower, and fewer complaints came
from that portion of the count) y
served by the consolidated roads than
from any other portion of the king
dom. The effects of consolidation ; re
to che pen management, produce
unity and harmony in disjoint) d
roads, and reduce time and charges
to the public, as is shown in your
load before the Commission Act."
Commodore M-iury, the greatest ci
vilian Virginia ever gave to mankind,
said: "i he highways of nations are
the measure of their civilization."
This is literally true, and the greatest
invention of the world tor the bent fit
of mankind, since the discovery of
the art of printing, is the railroad. It
carries with it development and civili
zation. Its train of consequences are
material and moral progress in all
their varied forms school houses,
churches, commerce, nulls, and ma
chmery of all kinds follow. It tills
the sil. mines and brings forth the
valuables of the earth. It fells the
forest, utilizes tha valuable timbers
and water powers, feeds, clothes, and
elevates the labor of the country,
equalizes the price of subsistance.
adds on an average five times its cost
t the lands and property penetrated.
Thus creating wealth and financial
resources to the State, social culture
and refinement to its people', and
strength and power in times of war.
The grave bt aring of these laws
upon your property is the cause
of this extended report.
