Little or none " ol the amounts shown are to Columbia par ti. s. The air is full with rumors of trouble among the employees of the South Car olina railway. One rumor is to the ef fect that twenty six c mductors are on their way here from Pittsburj, Pa., to take the places of the present force. The story goes that the new general manager thinks that the present conductors know too miny people, and he thinks that the icecipts of the road of passenger tralHe. will bo increased by getting conductors who are nut so well known as the pris ent force. It is said that, under the old regime the r::i! way hauk-d more dead head than pay pascngcis. There are also rumors of coming wholesale changes in the mechanical departments. These are, of course, only ntmors. but they cause a good deal of uneasiness in tail road circles. The colored people celebrated emanci pation day at Charleston with a street parade and speech-making.

SOUTH CAROLINA MORE IN 1890. The Outlook for the New Year in the Several .Counties. The new year opens well. The pros- pect is bright, and in all parts of the State work begins with great encourage ment. The "year just closed was not all that could have been desired. In some few sections the farmers suffered from bad seasons, and the results of the year's work were disappointing. But as a gen eral thing the farmers have done well. They made good crops anel obtained ex cellent prices for their cotton. The jield of corn 'was phenomenal. Barns are now filled with corn that have not been accustomed to having much within tneir waits, ine larmers are well sup plied and in good condition to begin the work of the new year. Ohi debts have either been paiel or reduced, and many have surplus cash on baud to meet the requirements of the coming work. The Farmers' Alliance has preached economy and debt-paying. The good advice has been taken, and as a result the farmers enter the year lb'JO with smiling faces anel stout hearts. All other lines of business have pros pered. There is uo discouraging report of the the condition of manufactories and banks. They have done an excellent year's work. All aie in gooel order and are making money. New enterprises are being talked of iu many sections. Every thing points to 'increase.! activity all over the State. The merchants aie somewhat alarmeel at the change of busi ness methods that 1-5 now coming into voguee.

There is really.no reason lor alarm, anelthc tempar ary feeling ofuneasint ts ill soon be ad justed, and merchants and farmers -will work together iu complete harmony. The Alliance has never yet showed a tendency to radical or unreasonable ac tion. It has had a most healthful influ ence on the farmers, and will s'jou bring all business to a cash basis.

Topek.x, Kansas. I). B. Garrett, 'of the colored colony of Oklahoma, arriveei in this city Friday. He says there arc now fully 4.000 colored people in Okla homa, and that colonization work will be pirshed in all. citie- of the West.. Ho says the people are entirely satisfied with the country aud their prospects. Col. 3Iason of Mississippi, who has been here two weeks, is advocating the pur- chase of the Cherokee btnp for settle ment by the colored rae. Several prominent negroes of this city arc mov ing in that direction aud will ask Presi dent Harrison to appoint a commission of colored men to negotiate with tli- Cherokees for the purchase of the strip for homestead settlement for their own race exclusively.

If the Government can ap propriate money to transport the , negro to Africa, it has the power to appropri ate money to purchvsc lands for him at home, and could buy the strip for the purpose. It is urged that a strong and united effort be made to this t-ud, and the African-American League, which meets shortly in Chicago, will be re quested to take the subject under con sideration. l Sad Events Inaugurating 1800.

The cold, pure witnes of the exterior of the Executive Mansion where the Pres ident and the ladies of the Cabinet re ceived these in official and social life was in direct contrast with the scene within. There everything was warmth and brightness. SmiHx turned in and about the great chandeliers and depended from the tops of tall mirrori. Great spreading palms and tall rubber plants were stand- login every nook and corner, while the mantles were banked with f gardens of hyacinth, azaleas, ferns and other plants. In the Blue room, where the President and his party stood, the decorations lent in added charm to the general beauty: of the ewalsnaped apartment, ihe three! windows in tne oacK ot tne room were ilmct hidden by masses of green. As in the East room, ' smilax, palms and rubber trees predominated. Red-flowered pioncettas and pink azaleas peeped aut from among theb green cousins. Un der the mantelpieces ferns, hyacinths ind ice plants were banked. In the Red room, where the diplomatic corps as sembled, and in the Green room, the decorations were much the same, differ ing Only in the substitution of flowered plants to suit the colors in which each room was furnished. - THE I'KESIDESTIAL RECEPTION. ' i "Shortly after A o'clock, at a signa from Professor Tousa, the Marine 'Band struck up "Hail to the Chief," and those assembled in the corridor outside the. Blue room saw the Presidential party descending the main staircase. Leaning on the arm of the Preiident was Mrs. McKee, who took the place of ,her mother. Mrs. 1 Harrison decided not to4 take part in the reception on account of i i the recent Oeath of her sister. Mrs. bcott Ford. 1 -r WORK IN STORE FOR SECT BLAINE. Some mercantile firms of Boston, New York aud Philadelphia are likely to give Mr. Blaine some more sensational work in the diplomacy. They have chartered an armed vessel to protect their trade in Panama against the discounts made on them by the Columbian Government au thorities. A schooner belonging j to James Herron, of New York, was seized under a ruling of the Columbian Gjov. eminent requiring ships trading with small ports to first enter the port of Co lon. The next victims were the schoon ers Julian and Wylie, owaed by Foster it Co., of New Y'ork. The thing is hc work of Spanish merchants, who have exhumed an old obsolete law. Quite a number of trading vessels are now (in volved, anel the State Department jha been askeo to display the jiower of (the ! government to protect the interests; of our citizens. The Columbian gun-boat j "La Popa" is the only war vessel en gaged in making the .captures, and pne I of the American firms that has suffered has elisputched an armed vessel to take ::sue with 'La Popa.'

Mr. Caskey said that during his 'ac ouaintance of a half century with Mr. Davis. ... . . the latter never entered a saloon Dor allowed the mildest oath to pass his lips, and was one of the most consistent Christians that ever breathed.
