If sent otherwise we will not be re- syuiisiuie ior miscarriages WHOSE BUSINESS Is IT! The Greenville News, and the Col umbia Register, instead of replying to the Observer in regard to its op position to the railroad commission ask: "What business have DaDers outside of the State to be meddling with South Carolina affairs?" The best answer that we can make is in the language of Maj. W. H. Brawley, a member of the South Caro lina Legislature, in his speech before that body, urging the repeal of the law creating the commission. Maj. Brawley said : Now I think that it is expedient this Act should be repealed, but I would not ask its repeal simply be cause it is expedient. It is undoubtedly true that this leg islation has had a most injurious effect outside the limits of this State. It is not worth while to discuss the reasons why our action here has ten dered to chill and discourage and frighten parties outside of South Carolina, who have or contemplate investments in railroad property here. It is sufficient, 11 that reeling exists. whether it is well or ill founded. We are so far a part of this great Com monwealth of btates that we cannot be indifferent to the opinion outside our borders, ine ieeoie sometimes tremble before that opinion ; the fool ish defy it; it is the part ot wisdom to judge it and direct it. .Now let us consider whether it is true that our action here has caused distrust, and then whether we can do anything to remove it. My way or lite has led me to some knowledge on this subject, and I feel it my duty to give the House all the information which I have. I state grounds for believing that the practical effect of the law was to prevent the investment of capital in raurood property in boutn tjarouna I enumerate the roads that have been stopped upon the borders of the State Kobinsons Koaa irom Monroe through Chester and Newberry; Ha good's Road from Aiken to the moun tains; Kidsrers Koaa rrom Florence to Wilson; Spartanburg and Asheville Koad, sc. If we persist in this course of legis lation we had as well blazon upon our boundaries those words which Dante describes as upon the portals of hell: "Give up hope all ye who enter here." We stop all enterprise and life and wallow in the stagnant pools of fetid 1 hetonc. Commenting on the action of the commission, the railway K porter or a recent date says: It seems that the South Carolina Board of Railway Commissioners has succeeded, as well as that of Kansas, in causing a railway to be abandoned The South Carolina railway runs from Charleston to Btackville, a distance or ninetv miles. It is there joined by the Barnwell railway, a short line nine miles in length, which runs from Barnwell, S. (J., to BlacJcvilie. under the tariff of rates announced by the State Board of Commissioners the South Carolina Company charged the rates allowed by the schedule tor a haul of nine miles. But the Board of Commissioners saw fit to call the Barnwell road a part of the foouth Carolina, although it is a separate or ganization, and ordered that the schedule rates for 100 miles should be charged between Barnwell and Charleston. This involved such a reduction that the Barnwell company could no longer pay over one-tentii of its expenses and it tnererore gave notice that after October 30 it would cease running trains. Tht South Carolina Company also published a notice that it would receive no rreignt for Barnwell or any point on the Barnwell railway after that date This action created consternation m all those who were dependent on the Barnwell road, as well it might, for it meant a return to wagons and the navmflnt, of at, least twenty cents per hundred tn9 old rate ior mas memou of transportation. A large meeting of the citizens of Barnwell sent a committee to the commissioners to tell them that they were willing to pay the old rail rates rather than have the road cease to be operated. At the last advices the board were solemnly con sidering wnether they could allow the citizens ot Barnwell to pay r tes tnat thev were perfectly willing to pay What an aouse or power mis ui in our last issue wo published evidence that the attempt to take the manage ment of railways out of the hands of those who built and paid for them and place it under the control of the State had virtually put a stop to rail way development in South vJarolina A few weeks before it was announced that a railway in Kansas had been compelled co cease operation because the Board of Railway Commissioners of that State bad ordered it to carry freiie-ht for rates that would not begia to nav operating expenses. These things are more than a farce they more nearly resemble a tragedy ! The private citizens who built the roads are in danger 01 wuu iu "j. wcu vestments, and those who have open ed farms or embarked in business re lying upon the railways to give them a market are disappointed and threat ened with business failure. And the worst of all is that State, or, in other words, political interference with railway business has only just begun to work out its evil, its iauu ieuu, We learn, upon good authority, that Mr. John Robinson, president of the Raleigh & Augusta Air Line Rail way company, whose bouthern ex tension stops now at Hamlet, went to Columbia last week to ask from the Legislature a charter for a road to be built through the State to its connections with the Georgia system of roads West of the Savannah river. tta v nr.lv such privileges as might be safely g ranted to any man or set of men who proposed to invest three or four millions of dollars in a strictly business enterprise. He asked simply to be allowed the privilege of building a railroad through the State two hundred miles Ions, without asking a dollar from anybody, if he could have a guarantee from the Leg islature that its management would not be interfered with until the money invested should pay 8 per cent, per annum on the investment. The charter was refused, and the railroad will not be built for the present, at least. It met what is called in par liamentary parlance, ' 'indefinite post ponement." As the road was to connect with a system of North Carolina roads on the East, and the Georgia roads on the West, we should think the mat ter was of some interest to us on this side of the line, and that we have an swered our cotemporaries. We thought so. The Philadelphia Press, which, by the way, never lets an opportunity escape to strike the South, in commenting upon the mu nicipal election in Charleston, quotes the News and Courier's remark that the-e have been very few elections like it anywhere," and adds "very few, indeed, outside of Russia."' Of course everybody understands the innuendo in this language, brief as it is. And yet the Press as an intelli gent journal knew that the ticket elected was endorsed before the elec tion by men of all parties, white and black, and was so satisfactory to the taxpayers of that city that no ticket was run in opposition to it. But they want to lie and nothing in the world is going to prevent them from lying about the South. Ine general impression among Democratic politicians in Washing ton seems to be that the National Democratic convention will be held in the West with the chances in favor of Chicago, which is working hard for it. The friends of St Louis, Louis ville and Indianapolis are moving however, for their towns. If Chicago should not be decide. 1 upon, Louisville will stand the next oest chance Some of the eastern Democrats are work ing for Saratoga. Mr. C. C Pool, the defeated Repub lican candidate for Congress in the first district, is in Washington, and proposes to contest the seat of Mr. Skinner. What the grounds of his contest are is not stated, but it is pre sumed to be that the reorganization of the district vitiates the election. which he will hold should have been held in the old district as it stood be fore the change. He took his chances on an election, however, and we don't see now ne can consistently ooject now. Mr. Randall writes to a Connecticut sympathizer : "Do not apprehend any legislative mistakes here; a shall all do our utmost to avoid them, and strive to put our party in trim for 1884." If some of the men who criticise and question Mr. Randall's Democracy would show the samedis position for its welfare that he does. there would be less to fear in the fu ture. General Longstreet is quoted as . . . - -r 1 1 saying tnat mere is no rtepuuncan party in the South, and that the only chance of there ever being such a nartv is to carry Virginia. He thinks that if the Republicans fail to carry x w Virginia at the next ejection "the last rhancft of the Republicans in tlw South will be lost." Gen. Pryor, who arrived in New York from England last Monday.says he had hopes of O'Donnell's acquittal until the Judge answered the second question of the jury in such a way as to leave no chance ip acquit. Den- ham had made up his mind to hang him and did. A prominent Pennsylvania Prohi bitionist avs that Mr. Blaine s letter proposing to divide the whiskey tax among the States has alienated from him the support of the temperance people of that State as a candidate for the Presidency. After all the blood-and-thunder stories about bulldozing, Mississippi has thirteen eolored men in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate. This is about fourteen more npBTo legislators than can be exhibit o w ed by any Republican State. On the 22nd of February the Na tional Democratic executive commit tee meets in Washington to select the time and place for holding the Na tional convention. It is reported in "Washington that Secretary Folger will retire from the Cabinet, and that other changes will follow. CHAPTER It. Maiden. Mass., Feb. 1, 1880.

Con-efqxmdenoe of the Observer. Washington, Dec. 17, Gen Scales presented this morning the certificate of the election of Hon. Thomas G. Skinner as Representative from the First District of North Carolina. But on statements by Messrs. Keifer and Reed the credentials were withdrawn and the oath not administered. The purpose was to avoid debate, the Kansas delegation wishing to present resolutions of respect to the memory of Representative Haskell, of that State, who died yesterday. There will be opposition to the admission of M r. bkinner when the matter again comes up. Mr. riaskell was probably the most agressivo an I promising or the younger Republican leaders, and while not remarkable for his ability was very useful to his party and had much influence in the House. His career began in the 45th congress. Even as early as the succeeding con gress he was regarded as one of the Republican leaders. He had a com manding figure and voice, and was the most fluent debater among the Republicans from the West. Kasson, an abler man, was not in that con gress. In the 4tn congress Mr. Has kell was made chairman ot the In dian Affairs committee, succeeding Gen. Scales, having been a member of that committee in the previous congress. He was a prominent mem ber of the Ways and Means commit tee in Keifer's congress, and was a zealous advocate of protection. Looking d'wn from the galleries upon the faces of the Representatives in the 48th congress one is inclined, instead of inquiring where certain leaders sit, to ask who is that man with the white and pink face and long beard, apparently cover ed with the snows of winters in numerous; or that one with the very long light-gray hair and unmistaka bly Celtic countenance, who has a difficulty in hearing and moves up from his seat m the rear and takes a chair in front, vacated by an accom modating member; or that very large man far back in front, who keeps to busy with his correspon dence, and only &tops when a friend comes up and says something: or that ninny, spectacled, professional gentleman (you know instinctively tha' ftp is a gentleman), who holds his head so very high, but yet not haughtily, and who is evidently one of the pupular men of the House; or that bright, handsome, bald headed young man, wlm limps along rapidly and talks with emphasis and confi dence; or But let me give their names betore the descriptive cata logue grows too fast for me to catch up. Your first man, whe sits on the main aisle, and is one or the most modest and sensible men in the House, Geo. D. Tillman, of South Carolina. He sat in two congresses before the general public suspected what kind of a man he was. lie has some eccentricity, and South Caroli na should be proud, even ot that. though that is not what I praise him tor. The long-haired mat member is the celebrated William Robinson, of New York. He seems too old and pleasant for the tantrums he cuts with the .British lion and unicorn But he believes in the universal Irish nation and the doctrine that blood will tell. These two have "seen some service." Robinson, indeed, has spent several terms in congress. But the large energetic man is Tilden's Lieu tenant-Governor and friend of for mer days. Dorsheimer. He will cut a good figure here, it is predicted Your next query, my dear sir, will introduce to your knowledge the Hon. John Randolph Tucker, of Vir ginia. Session after session the abili ty which shone at first becomes more and more luminous. There may be other great Virginians of to day orators like Daniel, managers like Harbour, brisk politicians Goode. but here is your old new statesman, cultured, practical and sagacious. And he is so natural and kind in his manner? Were he not from the mountain city of Lynchburg one would repeat the lines ot the la mented Ticknor, of Georgia, on "The lrginians of the v alley, the golden horseshoe knights, "Who rode with Spotswood round the land, And Raleigh round the seas. In contrast, as to-day with yester day, note our limping statesman. It is Frank Hurd, the apostle of free trade in Ohio, one of the gr atest lawyers and most incorrupible poli ticians in congress. Even as far har-k as five vears ago. his and Car lisle's were the great speeches of one session, and the hope of the future is in the policy they have had the courage to maintain day by day in and out ot congress. '1 he country has places ot honor lor its young thinkers. The Democratic side is not by any means exhausted ; for there is Rose frans the eTeat general, there is Reagan, the Confederate Postmaster General : here is quiet V illis. of Ken tuokv. who is coming to the front and over there are Hewitt and Cox and so many more. (Jut on our right are some of the North Carolina mpmhers. whose seats we showed vou some time ago. Bennett's higl: brow and imposing size show to ad vantage one of North Carolina's ris ing men. There is not so much on the other side of the Chamber. One of the physically prominent figures is baby faced Reed, of Maine, portentious in physique, but gnarling 01 whining in VYYlfA fl.n d pnmmonnlace in ideas. He has the typical drawl of New Eng land. Old Judge Poland is back, af a long absence, in all the glory of blue spike and metal buttons and white mutton chops. Keifer, by the action of the Republican caucuses ol the last and present Congress, leader of the minoriity, Mr. William Wal ter Phelps to the contrary notwith standing, will be obliged to leave his back seat and stand toward the Speakers desk when tin session wax es older. Judge Kelly is getting too old and feeble for much active work on the floor except when his hobbies are under consideration. But dapper Kasson has a good desk in front, suf ficient health, experience, ability, confidence and what not. Now that poor Dudley Haskell, with his phe nomenal voice and presence has "joined the majority," Kaston and Reed and Calkins, light-haired Hoo sier, will be relied upon along with Browne, also of Indiana, to direct the movements of the g. o. p. on the floor of the House. The friends of Gen. Logan tire just now very busy in setting up a boom for their candidate. Hitherto he has run alone like a very small brook in the shallows, while Mr. Arthur has honndine the valley between green meadows and pleasant shad' trees. The Chicago trap, say the Loganites, succeeded finely. The friends of all the other candidates except Arthur fell unwarily into it, and now there is nothing to do but lift the lid and take out the game. This confident talk raises many smiles, but the end is not yet. Logan's chief plank is his proposi tion to devote the proceeds of the internal revenue to education. His career in Congress has been long, and there are frequent boasts, as to what he has done. This bill and his fierce, partisan opposition to the measure of justice to Fitz John Porter constitute his stock in trade of statesmanship. If he can convince a Republican con vention that these things are suffi cient for an American President, he will hardly be able to satisfy a more exacting public. CONGRESSIONAL POINTS. The present effort to secure like salaries for House and Senate employ ees will fail, just as all previous ones have failed- The House is afraid to raise, the Senate declines to reduce. On further conference the Repre sentatives from the whiskey districts have decided not to ask the Secretary of the Treasury to stop the collection of taxes pending legislation on the subject. Both his right to grant the the request and the propriety of their making it were doubted. Col. A. T. Davidson was appointed, this afternoon, assistant file clerk in the House document room. The present Speaker is very popu lar with the newspaper men. On their request to-day he promised to aid them in securing the privilege of visiting the lobby. This is to facili tate the collection of news, as no per sons except employees are allowed to go on the floor of the House. A few correspondents figure on the Senate floor as ' private secretaries." H. Itc'iicl from Ientli. William J. Coughlin. of SomerviUe, Mass., says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of lungs, followed by a severe cough. 1 lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 18771 as admitted to the Hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as bis as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Dr. William Hall's Balsam for the lungs. got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to feel hotter, and to-dav I feel better than for thi ee years past.
