BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C.i Tuesday Evening, May 4, 1880. EVENING EDITION. THE RBiV PROPOSITION. We learn that Mr. Best's visit to Wilmington was in part, if not alto gether, to propose to construct the needed link between Salisbury and Wadesboro. By examining the map yon will see that by completing this link there will be pretty direot con nection between the North Carolina Railroad and Charleston. At Wades boro there is a road nearly completed to Cheraw, S. C. By the proposed link there; will be also connection with Wilmington, which is nearer to Wadesboro than Charleston. The route from Wilmington by way of Wadesboro, Salisbury, Statesville, &c, to Asheville; thence to the great West, will be much shorter than the route as it now stands. We under stand that : Best and those he repre sents do not propose to build of themselves this desired link, but to cooperate with Wilmington. He proposes if certain parties will sub scribe so much that the Syndicate he represents will complete the work. We have not learned what success or encouragement he met with. We have pointed out before in the Stab the -utility and necessity of a road from Rockingham to Salisbury, and we have no doubt that sooner or later the link will be built, and the route to the West will be shortened. Mr. -Best's friends appear to be alto gether unselfish. A short time ago they were endeavoring to get control of the Atlantic road to Morehead, and the idea injected into thepopular mind was 5. that a continuous line from the great West to the sea was contemplated, where a line of ships would be at hand to bear away the produce and briDg back the needed supplies. Morehead was to be spe cially favored. The idea wa"s plea sant. Then next Charleston comes under consideration, and lines of communication are to be opened up for the benefit of the most important city in the State south of us. At last Wilmington, lying between Charles ton and Morehead, is thought of, and an important railroad connection is planned that ' would' eventuate fin benefit, no doubt, if ever com pleted. We like this open-handed generosity, j There is nothing small in such broad, comprehensive plans. "No pent iip TJtica comtractsn." the "powers" ofj the Syhaicatebut tyro States constitute their field, and three ports make up the objective points in their grand railroad enterprise. The Syndicate is evidently a wide-awake concern. 'Itj is : aharp. ; When they get the . Asheville iand ; Paint Rook route completed,-(op sane man ex pects that a jfootT.of ; the Ducktown road wUl be b'ttUt Jby' the Syndicate under the bill of Vsale), they know -that it wUl oe the sole thoroucrhfara and onUfet"rthe,'Westif and : South west going"! from theseacoast, and the only outlet for, the1 products of the West' to the AAtlantio- seaboard and so it will be to their, ,' interests to have the good will, cooperation and patronage' of-' the -Midland, tNorth" Carolinaj the Richmond & Danville, the new road from' ;IItts"burg, the road leading to Charleston from Asheville, the Carolina Central; and the connecting links, that - may be hereaftet co6s.truotedr The Syndi cate wilt use wisely a dragnet and they will catch fishes of all kinds and sizes. 1 -We d6 not'in the least blame them for this Impartial sort of policy.. "It; is a little bitPamusing' hen we. see the ideajthrown out. that the Syndi-! cate will only cooperate or control- one Unel They will get, help and mo ney from all. Tney have bought great property for a song, and now they mean, like sharpy calculating, scheming business men, to make the most of it. We hope the Rocking ham anj Wadesboro link will be built and alsofthe short line from, Char lotte to! Hickory. With these two breakB filled Wilmington could not fail to be benefited.- Mr. Best will hardly be able to get Wilmington in terested in the line from Salisbury to Wadesboro. If he would favor a road to Rockingham our people might listen-to "the charmer." FAST" HI A It. FACILITIES. The papers reqently have referred to the necessity of having a quicker time table for the great through lines from the North to the South. The Charleston News anil Courier of last week had something; to say about the matter. All of the Atlantic coast cities ate interested in this move-. 2 I. ment, hich might prove of real importance to them. Why should not the! South have the best and quickest mail facilities ? The North and West have theirs; why should not the South be fajvored equally? If time is money we need these fast mails more than other sections, and why ? j ' The commerce of the Atlantic coast towns embraces about one third of the cotton crop, all of the naval stores crop and Southern pine lamber. The bare statement of the magnitude of the traffic in these leading articles shows that we ought to have the best mail facilities mail facilities equal to East or West, orUo any section. The South should imitate the policy of tho people of other sections. The North and West unite and demand the needed facili ties, and they get them. The South should do; likewise. Unity of action and persistency in its demands would result in success. All the mail facili ties required to place the South on an equal footing with other sections would be granted. But it need not be supposed that this quicker line will be granted- that the faster mail fa cilities will be obtained without hearty and; earnest cooperation. If the South dpes not look after its own interests others will be certain not to do it for it. 3 Another good, telling speech has been made oa the West Point busi- s ness. Senator Hereford, of West Virginia, according to the Washing ton letter of the Richmond Dispatch, made a decided hit on social equality among the cadets. He was speaking qn Allison's proposed amendment to compel the President to appoint two colored cadets from the country at large. Mr. Hereford is reported thus: "He said that the young men from New England at Weal J?oint, tbe tons of Repub licans and appointed by Republicans,refuse to associate with Inegro cadets, sod in so doing but speak tbe sentiment, of tbe pa rents who reared them. A Senator bad said daring tbe debate that be wanted to afford companionship fof young Wbittaker; but you cannot force social-' equality, and it is nonsense to attempt it; for Senators them selves do not appreciate it. -Tbere is not a Republican Senator,' said Senator Here ford, ' who would permit bis dsn gter to marry atoloredmanf nd:biareasoais the same as that which actuate the white cadet from Massachusetts In refusing to associate with colored cadets. II Senators want social equality at West Point let thern, practice it themselves in their ewn families, and push" it to tts logical result, tie was for giving negroes-all their rigbts, but social equality; was another thins: Uodvoa eari no more bring it about by 4eislatiuathao you can change tbe spots of the leopard.' 'The ore-- judices are implanted in us,' said he, fby me creator or we universe, ana they can. not be eradicated by enactments.' " We find the Grant - papers parade figures to show hiaf strength flhat ; do not tally with those of the anti-Grant papers.

Every county In North Carolina should cause to be prepared an accu rate, thorough, history and then pub lish it. One county in the State, Granville, has a complete history in manuscript, but its money gave out before the history was published. The result will be, that fifty years hence, if the manuscript should be lost or destroyed, important records will be gone forever. We -would be glad to know that some qualified pen was engaged in preparing a history for each county. New Hanover ought to attend to this matter. It begins to look as if the West Point mystery might be explained. After bringing great censure upon the institution and subjecting the cadets to grave suspicion and many annoyances, the probability uow is that the negro Whittaker is the author of his own injuries. This was the first theory adopted a the ory that tbe Northern press of both Darties scouted and denounced. The writing of the mysterious note cor responds with the writing of certain sorapa in the possession of the two ezDerts known to be Whittaker's handwriting. The Chicago Inter' Ocean, ablest Grant organ, claims that thus far its chief has secured 284 delegates. It say 8: "Illinois, with ber 42 votes, will swell this number to 326; Tennessee holds her Convention on tbe 5th of May, and ber 24 votes are conceded to Grant. This makes 350, only 29 less than a majority, and to get this lnsigmocant number jre nave sun left Alabama, from which Bute the Blaine table concedes 14 for Grant; Mississippi, from which the same table concedes 7; and Louisiana, from which tbe same table con cedes 8, exactly tbe number required to nominate, while there still remains Wis consin, Nebraska. Florida, California, New Jersey. Ohio. Vermont, west Virginia, and other Stales, a margin certainly wide enough to cover any defection or mistake.

This practice opens wide the door to hasty, in considerate and sinister legislation. It invites attacks upon the independence and consti tutional powers of the Executive by pro viding an easy ana effective way of con straining the .Executive discretion. Al though .of late this practice has been re sorted to by all : political parties, when clothed with power, it did not prevail until torty years alter the adoption of the consti tutionand it is confidently believed that it is condemned by .the enlightened judgment of the country. 'States which have adopted new constitutions during the last quarter of a century have generally provided remedies for the evil; many of them have enacted that no law shall contain more than one subject which shall be plainly expensed in its title. Tbe constitutions of more than half of the States contain substantially this provision, or some other or like intent and meaning. The public welfare will be pro moted in many ways by a return to tbe early practice of the government and to tbe true rule of legislation, which is, that every measure snouia stana upon its own merits. I am firmly convinced that tbe appropri ation oiiis pognt not to contain any legisla tion not relevant to the application or ex penditure of money thereby appropriated. ana mat oy a strict aanerence to that prin ciple an important and much needed re form will be accomplished. Placing my objection to the bill on this feature of its frame, 1 forbear any comment uoon the important general and permanent legisla tion which it contains as a matter for epe- cine ana inaepenuent consideration.
