Wisdom, Justice and Moderation
should be the watchword of the hour.
After twenty years the triumph of
Democracy has been achieved. They
coaid not be defeated, tor
Freedom's battle once begun
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to sod,
Though baffled oft is ever won.
The New York World, of Thursday,
saya, editorially : ‘‘On Saturday night,
as we are informed, Mr. Jay Gould and
Mr. A. D. Babbkb— the latter the most
skillful of the Albany lobbyiata—met
with the other eminent Bepnblioan lead
ers at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and re-
Holved to raise a sum of money sufficient
to buy the floating vote of New York,
reckoned by the experienced Babbkb at
from 825,000 to 860,000.
Thb first execution in the history of
Atlantio county, N. J., took place a few
days ago. Two men were banged. One
died easily, but the other a horrible
death. According to a Northern paper
the executioner blundered, and the un
happy wretch was suffocated. Hia con
tortions are said to have been frightfal,
and bis cries of agony blood-onrdling.
What added horror to the scene waa the
fact that the occasion was public, and
the spectacle waa gazed on by men, wo-'
men and children.
Tac Constitution has this : We are informed
reliably that Judge Jameh Johnson has been
waited on by members of the Legislature
elect, and requested to allow ths use of his
name for the Senatorial race. He declined
positively. This eliminates what might have
proved a perplexing element in the coming
fight.
As Judgo Jambs Johnson has been
and is a pronounoed Bepnblioan and as
there are not more than half a dozen
Republicans in both Houses of the
Oeneral Assembly, bis candidacy would
not have proved perplexing to any con
siderable extent.
Tub Emperor of Brazil is determined
not to depart from his resolution—nor
to permit hia household to depart from
it—of traveling as a private oitizen, and
deriving all possible advantages from
that course, in the various countries he
visits during his absence from home. At
last accounts he was at Odessa, Russia,
while his wife had gone to Gonstantino
gle. When she arrived there, the Sultan
placed a palace at his disposal, but she
ileolined the courtesy, and put up a
hotel. The Emperor was to join her
there, and, after making his usual
round, intended to proceed for Greece.
Thb Albany News says that Governor
Smith, in his speech in that oity on
Wednesday, presented a careful review
of' the corruptions of the Republican
administration; and addressed hia hear
ers plainly upou the political issues be
fore us. The speaker was many times
applauded by the colored people during
the course of hia speech; and there waa
marked evidence of the fact that hia
words struck the right place. When he
had fluiahed an honest old oolored man
arose and said : “Well, I never saw a
Governor before; but that ia the most
honest, straightforward speech I ever
heard in my life-*'
Later intelligence from Japan states
that the Mikado of that country will
preside at the opening of the railway
between Kioto and Oraka. A few months
ago the first railway in China was opened,
but the enterprise received no recogni
tion from the high Chinese officials.
This difference illustrates the stage of
progress in the two nations. They are
both advancing. Bat Japan moves for
ward with gigantio strides, the whole
influence of the Government being
aealously exerted for the purpose of
hastening the adoption of all useful
modern improvementa, while in China
the maroh onward is made slowly, and
often rather against the wish of the
Government than by its aid.
An English Court has just rendered a
decision, which, if sustained, will makg
railroad companies more careful about
runniug their trains “on time.” A train
on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail
way Company recently failed to make itß
time, and a passenger, anxious to reaob
his journey's end, hired a cab to take
him from Victoria Station, Manchester,
to Stratford, walking thenoe to Ashton
on-Mersey. He then sued the railroad
company for the cab fare. The compa
ny admitted the failure to make adver
tised connections, but claimed that it
did not oontract to do so. It also
claimed that the delay was unavoidable
on account of the orowded state of the
trains. The Court held that the compa
ny was bound to make its time—noci
deuta excepted—that it should have pro
vided for the crowd, and that the com
pany must reimburse the delayed pas
senger his outlay.
Don Carlos, who somewhat resembles
“Bonie Prince Charlie” and the “Young
Chevalier” in character and pursuit, has
arrived at Pau, in the Northwestern
Pyrenean frontier of France, and it is j
not improbable that he may make an
other bold attempt to win the sceptre of
Spain, to which he considers himself en- ,
titled nnder the Salic law, which was
set aside by a decree of Fbbdoiand YIL,
in order that his infant daughter, siaee
very disreputably known as "Isabella J
thb Bad" should succeed him on the
throne. Don Cablos made a recent tour
through the eastern section of the United
States, where his very unpretentious
manners were much admired. Nearly a
year ago this young Prince withdrew
from the contest for the crown which he
was carrying on, with better hope than
fortune, ia theßisoayan and other north
eastern provinces of Spain. At that
time his cousin, yonng King Alfonso,
was popular, and made large and liberal
promises to hie subjects. Lately, how
ever, the Queen-Mother, that ill-con
ducted Isabella who was dethroned and
expelled in September, 1868, has gone
back to Spain, where her influence on her
son’s Ministers has made itself materi
ally felt to his disadvantage. It is
thought probable that ia the event of a
struggle for sovereign power between
this bad mother and immature son, Don
Cablos may again enter the field as a
contestant for the crown. Pau ia very
dlose to ths locality inhabited by his ad
herents.
CLOWE KLKITIONH.
In view of s close election to-day the
result of previous elections is interesting.
The New York Mail says that as a general i
rule, the majorities in the electoral vote
have been very decided. To Washing
ton there waa no opposition; but John
Adams got in by a close squeeze. Mr.
Adams had 71 votes, and Jbffebson 68.
One of Adams’ votes was from Virginia
and one from North Carolina. Had
these two been given—as it was natural
they should have been—to Jkffbbson,
the Cavalier, instead of the Puritan,
would have been Washington's succes
sor, and the Old Dominion would have
had an unbroken succession of Presidents
for thirty-six years. One of the Adams
electors in Maryland waa chosen by only
four majority. In 1800 Jeffbbson de
feated Adams by only eight majority,
tha electoral vote being— Jeffbbson 73,
Adams 65. In 1812 a change of 20 votes
in the colleges would have prevented
the re-election of President Madison,
who received 128 electoral votes, while
Db Witt Clinton got 98. In 1836 Mr.
Van Bubbn lyould. have failed of an
election had there been a change in 23
electoral votes, as he had but 22 over
the number necessary to a choice—and
Pennsylvania, having thirty anch votes,
gave him bat a small popular majority.
A change of 3,000 in that State’s popu
lar vote would have defeated him in the
oolleges, by sending thirty Whig elec
tors to the Pennsylvania college. As it
was, Colonel Johnson, the Democratic
candidate for the Vice-Presidency, was
defeated in the colleges, because Vir
ginia would not support him, her twen
ty-three votes being given for William
Smith, of Alabama. Colonel Johnson
was chosen by the Senate, the only in
stance of the kind known in onr history.
Great as were the popular majority and
the electoral majority given for General
Habrison in 1840-41, he would have
been defeated in the colleges had it
been possible to change some eight or
nine thousand votes in the four States
of New York, Pennsylvania, Maine and
New Jersey. Those States cast 88 elec
toral votes, which, added to the sixty
votes that Mr. Van Bubbn received,
wonld have given him just the number
necessary to a choice; and yet there
woald have been a popular majority of
more than 100,000 against him. The
four States named gave a popular vote
of almost 100,000, though their united
majorities for General Habrison did not
mnch exceed 16,000 —New York giving
him rather more than 13,000, New Jer
sey about 2,300, Maine 410 and Penn
sylvania 343. In 1844 Mr. Polk was
ohoaen through the aid of the New York
eleotors, who were 36 in number; and as
Mr. Polk had 170 votes, and the num
ber necessary to a choice was 138—the
whole number of electors being 275—he
would have had but 134 votes had New
York decided against him. Mr. Clay
had 105 votes, and had he receiv
ed New York’s vote he would have
been ohoaen by 141 votes, or by a
majority of only five votes. The vote of
New York wss lost to Clay by the run
ning of Jambs G. Bibnby as an Abo
litionist candidate. The vote of the
State was ; Clay, 232,482; Bibnby, 16,-
812, Clay and Bibnby, 248 294; Polk,
237,588. So Polk got the electoral vote,
thongh not a majority of the popular
vote. The voters for Bibnby were nearly
all Whigs. In 1848 nineteen electoral
votes would have given the Presidency
to General Cass, as General Taylor’s
vote was 163, and that of General Cass
127, and some of the Taylor votes were
got by small majorities. All know that
Mr. Lincoln did not get a majority of
the votes of the people in 1860, thongh
his electoral majority was very decided,
being 180 to 123 for Breckinridge, Bell
and Douglas. The 180 eleotors for
Lincoln represented 1,866,452 voters,
while the 123 for the other candidates
represented 2,813,741 voters, not count
ing South Carolina, where the Legisla
ture chose the eleotors. As States now
vote solid, one way or the other, it is
just possible that South Carolina or
Rhode Island, or even little Delaware or
the Centennial Colorado, may have the
casting vote, as it were; and if so, an
important New Yorkers or Pennsylva
nians may hide their diminished heads.
If Delaware should cast the fatal die,
the soream of the American eagle would
be a mild whisper compared with the
crowing of the Blue Hen’s Chicken.
KKAPPEARANCE OF THE PLAUUE IN EU
ROPE.
An%xchange says that after an ab
sence of thirty-five years plague is re
ported to have again appeared in Eu
rope. The disease, it was recently sta
ted, has broken out in Servia among the
Turkish forces occupying the line of tUe
river Moravia; and it is suggested that
the malady may have been carried there
by troops coming from the diatriot late
ly infested with plague in Asiatic
Turkey. It is little likely that any such
importation will have occurred, for, in
the first place, no troops were moved
from the plague-stricken district in Irak-
Arabi during the active prevalence of
the disease there this year; and, in the
second place, it ia scarcely conceivable
that the plague could have been carried
by slowly-moving troops from the lower
Euphrates and Tigris into Servia without
indications of its presence among them,
and its spread to communities on the
road. Plague has not yet shown itself
in the Asiatic dominions of Tnrkey
north of Bagdad, on the Tigris, and of
Azizie, on the Euphrates, both places
some 1,300 miles distant, as the crow
flies, from the Turkish camps on the
Morava.
It is not impossible, however, thongh
improbable, that in Servia, as in other
old haunts of plague in recent years,
the disease may have reappeared after a
long period of cessation. This ia what
has happened of late years in the dis
trict of Benghazi, North Africa, in Per
sian Kurdistan, in the Aseyr district,
Western Arabia, and m Mesopotamia.
Daring the gradaal declension of the
plagne in Europe, which, beginning
after the great outbreak in this country
| in 1865, continued until what was be
lieved to be the entire cessation of the
' disease in 1841, the malady probably lin
' gered longest in Servia and Bulga
j ria. It was in Bulgaria that the
i last great European outbreak of plague
occurred, in 1838-9, when from 80,-
1 000 to 90,000 of the population were
! destroyed by the disease. It may be,
. therefore, that in one of the later
haunts of plagne in Europe, as ia some
of its former hannts in Africa and Asia,
the disease has again shown itself. But
this conclusion is not to be accepted
without very precise evidence. There
are peculiar liabilities to error in form
ing a judgment as to the existence of
plague ou the Lower Danube and its
tributaries. There, on the bottom lands,
malarial fevers, often of the severest
type, have a home. It has happened
that Russian and Turkish armies cam
paigning along the Danube have been
terribly scourged by diseases. Before
the cessation of the plagne in Europe it
was often a matter of doubt with medi
cal staffs of armies in tha field on the
line of tha Danube whether they were
dealing with malarial fever or with
plague.
No more rogues in office. Honest men
will come to the front under s Demo
cratic President.
THE CONDITION OF FRANCE.
The Ppiladelpbia North American
aaya: The French Republic appears to
have settled down into complete inter
nal tranquility, and if any of the dynas
tic factions still conspire to restore mon
archy, it is entirely unknown to the
Government or is harmless. President
MacMahon seems likely to serve ont his
official term without any interference
from attempted revolution. Being in
supreme command of an immense and
well disciplined army, and a veteran sol
dier of tried skill and courage, he ia
held in high respect by the incorrigible
conspirators of all parties. Experience
thus far demonstrates that his policy is
essentially peaceful, and that he does
not believe in an aggressive coarse at
all. The Republic has thus been estab
lished under conservative auspices with
the apparent consent of all. Bat it is a
Republic in which the forms of nobility
and titled aristocracy survive. The
President is a Duke, the chief of the
Cabinet ia a Duke, and there are
Princes, Marquises and Counts without
limit. They are, too, a real political
power, as they control society in Paris
and the provinces, and have vast estates
and revenues. Still the Republic is a
progressive one, and promises much in
the future if it should remain perma
nent and take to peaceful changes rather
than violent ones.
THE YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC.
The following circular has been issued
by the able and devoted Health Officer
of the stricken city Savannah :
Office Health Offices, I
Savannah, Ga., October 18, 1876. j
Absent citizens are cautioned and warned
against retaining to the city until official no
tice is given that it will be safe to do so. The
decrease in the mortuary report is encourag
ing and speaks an early termination of the
epidemic, but I desire to express that it is far
from safe for absentees yet to return. This
notice will ba published daily until it is safe
for them to do so.
J. T. McFabland, M. D.,
Health Officer.
We earnestly hope this warning will
be heeded. We know that the thou
sands so long absent from Savannah are
anxious to return to their homes. We
know that in many cases their means are
becoming exhausted. Bat we beg them
to be patient yet a little while longer,
and to refrain from doing anything
which will assist in the perpetuation of
the plague. The refugee who returns
to Savannah keeps the fever alive, ren
ders the poison active, and makes the
extermination of the disease an impos
sibility. He not only endangers his own
life, bat imperils the lives of others.
The noble men who remained in Savan
nah during the epidemic to nurse the
sick and bury the dead are endangered
by the rgturn of refugees. Let this con
sideration cause the counsel of Dr. Mc-
Fabland to be heeded.
WHAT IT COSTS TO PUT A PASSENGER
OFF A TRAIN.
An exchange informs us that, iu the
suit of H. Barrett Levan vs. Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company, tried in Phila
delphia last week, the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for 88,500. The
plaintiff, in November, 1868, purchased
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a ticket
from the defendants for passage to Phila
delphia, the train on whieh he was to
take passage being known as the Cincin
nati Express. A hen the train reached
Harrisburg it consisted of bnt two pas
senger cars—an ordinary car and a
smoking car. The plaintiff asserts that
he was constitutionally unable to ride in
the smoking car and the other oar was
full. The plaintiff was afflicted with a
disease whieh made standing for any
length of time positively injurious to
him, and as some other cars were added
to the train at Harrisburg he asked per
mission of the brakeman, and was di
rected by him to enter one of them, a
sleeping car, where he found a seat.
When the conductor took up his ticket
he demanded $1 50 extra for the privi
lege of riding in the car, which the
plaintiff refused to pay, alleging that
the ticket entitled him to a seat, and
that there were no seats elsewhere on
the train. The conductor shortly after
ward put plaintiff off the train, about
eight miles from Lancaster. He walked
into Lancaster, and in the long walk his
disease, as he alleges, was aggravated to
such an extent that he has never entirely
recovered from the effects of it.
Levan’s suit for damages has been
pending eight years. On the trial the
company’s version of the affair was that
the oondnetor allowed the plaintiff to re
main in the sleeping car until there
were seats vacant in other parts of the
train; that shortly after the train left
Middletewn the oondnetor requested
him to take one of these seats and he
refused, whereupon the train was stop
ped and he was ejected. There was no
force, the defendants claimed, used on
the plaintiff except the mere laying on
of hands, so that he should not seem to'
assent to his. being put off the train.
Judge Briggs, in charging the jury, said
that the plaintiff bad an undoubted right
to a seat, and that if there was no seat
for him in the ordinary cars, he had a
right to find one in any part of the train.
It was the duty of the plaintiff, his
Honor said, to aooept the seat offered in
the ordinary car, if snch had been ao _
tually offered him, and that the con
flicting versions of the affair must be re
conciled by the jury. His Honor charged
them at considerable length, fnlly going
over the law regulating the relation of
common oarriers and passengers. The
jury, after a deliberation of over two
hours, returned a verdict for the plain
tiff of 88,500 damages.
The Courant says: About fourteen mil
lion dollars of banking capital have been
accustomed to regard November as the
dividend time. So far six of the banks,
with nine and a half millions of capital,
have declared, and probably the rest will
soon be heard from. The City,with a capi
tal of 81,000,000, keeps up its pleasant 5
per cent, quarterly, and the Pacific pays
its regular 3 pel cent, quarterly on
8400,000. The American Exchange, of
85,000,000, which in May dropped its
rate from 4 per cent, (semi-annnal) to 3}
per cent, stays down to 3j in a conserva
tive fashion. The UnioD, of 81,500,000,
and the Mechanics’ and Traders, of
$600,000 capital, each reduce their rate
from 10 to 8 per cent.; that is, pay 4
per cent, instead of sat this time. So
far as reported no bank resumes divi
dends that has been passing, and none
increases its rate, while two cut down
the rates. But these facts do not offer
any contradiction to the previous re
ports of an improving business. They
rather indioate, first, that the banks are
not choking their customers to death for
the of sake immediate profit; and second,
that the first earnings of the revival can
not be paid ont in dividends. There are
other nses than that even for profits.
In Edgefield, Barnwell, and Aiken the
Democracy have mere than redeemed
their promises to Hampton. Bayonets
could not frighten, fraud could not con
quer the people of these counties.
The New York Financial Chronicle
says that in 1873 the greenback issue
was in a few weeks depleted of $80,000,-
000, since when the country banks have
held to the currency with more tenacity
than before.

erty were with ns one and inseparable.
We aay to our treducers, "Give us the
liberty and we will give you the loyalty.”
He asked where was the Sonthern man
whose heart does not glow with anew
pride for the flag of our fathers, since
Tilden’s election assures us that it shall
henceforth wave over a Union ofjoo-eqnal
States. He appealed to the people to
hoist their flags, which no longer were

his life and honor for the defense of its
glories.

possible that Charleston oonnty can give
more than five thousand Republican
majority, and it considers the State safe
for Hampton and also for Tilden, who
it believes will not fall beyond Hamp

The following special has been received

General Flection News.
Washington, November B.—The New
York Times and Washington Chronicle
are the only reliable papers which ques
tion Tilden’s election this morning.
New York, November B. — The Herald
says 21 States oast majorities for the
Democratic nominees and 16 for the
Republican, one State, Colorado, having
previously cast its vote for the latter.
Thus, Gov. Tilden will be our next
President, and Thomas A. Hendrioks
our next Vice-President. They have
received 209 electoral votes against 160
cast for Governor Hayes and William
A. Wheeler, a clear majority of
49, and 24 more than was necessary
for an election. There is very little
chance of lessening the figures, and none
of changing the result. Our next House
of Representatives will have a Demo
cratic majority of at least 25. The State
of New York was carried by the Democ
racy by probably 35,000, and the entire
city Democratic ticket was eleoted by
majorities ranging downward from 53,-
000. Among the States looked on as
doubtful yesterday, Indiana, Connecti
cut, New Jersey, apd probably Wiscon
sin, were carried for the Democrats.
t outh Carolina is in doubt, the voting
being very close, and viotoiy is claimed
by both sides. The negro vote was evi
dently divided between the two parties
in the Southern States.
Washington, November 8. The
World bureau here has the following:
New York, November 7.<— Hendrioks
telegraphs that he has trustworthy ad
vices that Wisconsin has gone Demo
cratic by 1,000 majority.
The Star says that neither Judge Ed
munds nor the President have received
dispatches from Chandler to-day, whioh
fact is regarded as discouraging to hope
for any possible change of figures to
Hayes’ side.
New York, November B.—The elec
tion of Hayes is still claimed by cau
tious Republicans who countop carrying
Louisiana and Florida.
Washington, November B.—The West
tern Union bulletin states that the
Democratic Committee claim Louisiana
by 10,000. Republicans claim Florida
and Oregon,
New York, November B. — The Post
gives Tilden 184 electoral votes, with
Nevada, California, Florida, Louisiana,
Oregon and Wisconsin as donbtful. It
says : “Mr. Tilden appears to be elect
ed President or the United States.”
The TWbwne’sextra, just issued,says :
“The latest news leaves a bare possibil
ity of Hayes’ election. Probabilities
are still all the other way, bat the Re
publicans now claim Wisconsin and Cal
ifornia. This leaves Tilden with one
vote short of an election, Hayes twenty
short, and the following doubtful States
from which either must draw for what
he needs: Florida, 4;’Nebraska, 3; Ne
vada, 3; Oregon, 3; South Carolina, 7.
Hayes cannot be elected without all of
these. Accurate returns from them to
day will be impossible.”
Columbus, 0., November B.—After
hearing the news at Republican head
quarters, a crowd numbering several
thousand formed a procession and
marched to Governor Hayes’ residence.
In response to repeated calls, Governor
Hayes appeared in the doorway, and af
ter scores of cheers, spoke as follows :
“My friends, I asenre yon 1 am obliged
for this hearty demonstration, but if you
will keep quiet about half a moment, I
will say something to you, which I think
is my duty tosay under the circumstan
ces. While our preseut advices
look favorable, we must remember that
several of the States which have been
considered doubtful have a territory re
mote from railroad or telegraphic com
munication, and it will naturally take
sometime to receive definite_ returns
from them. 1 therefore take this call as
an evidence of yonr loyalty to the Re
publican party and yonr desire for its
success. If later advices should change
the result from what it is announced at
present, I assure you I shall frequently
recall this visit daring the time I shall
yet live among you, and with great
pleasure I bid you good night.” After
farther cheering the crowd dispersed.
R. C. McCormifck, Secretary of the
National Committee, has just telegraph
ed'Wikoff, Chairman State Republican
Committee, that South Carolina, Wis
consin, Oregon,, California and Florida
have all gone for Hayes, and that North
Carolina is uncertain.
Reliable advices from Florida leave
bo doubt of the State going Democratic
by from 2,000 to 2,500. Thia elects
Tilden without Louisiana, which is un
doubtedly Democratic.

Comment* of the European Pren*.
London, November B.— The London
Daily News this morning, discussing
the Presidential election in the United
States, says that the result cannot sur
prise any attentive observer of Amerioan
politios. It cannot cause the reversal
of the legislation of the years imme
diately succeeding the war; it is a
change rather of men than of measures.
The News fears no injury to Ameri
can oredit, and regards the payment of
the national debt in apeoie as safe,
whichever party may be in power. It
bases its generally favorable anticipa
tions m a great measure on the personal
antecedent* and moderation of Mr. Til
dkn, who is likely to exercise a restrain
ing influence upon the extreme
section of the party. It does not
as yet see any indication that the
election affects the question of protective
legislation. Questions relative to the
South have been the deoidiug forces the
News thinks, rather than the ourrency
or free trade rtoblems.
The Standard also regards Mr. Til
den’s antecedents as furnishing a good
guarantee of honesty and moderation of
his administration and a security agaiQst
inflationism. The Standard oongratu
lates the Amerioane the law abiding
spirit displayed throughout the country,
and says the result of the election is
soaroely a greater oause of o mg;atulatior>
than fact that so close a contest of such
a great stake should have passed without
violence and bloodshed whea riots in a
few places might have turned the scale
by intimidating voters.
LqNpoN, November a.— The Times
reviews the difficulties whioh
Mr. luqea will have to enoounter in
oonsequenoe of oonflioting majorities iu
the Senate and House of Representatives
and also beoause of claims of various
sections of Demoorats for office patron
age. The Times considers Governor
laden s antecedents a guarantee against
ms yielding to the pressure of Southern
peiuoorats in favor of reactionary meas
ures, and in any event it is more obvious
that there is no danger of his assenting
to measure of inflation or repudia
ffe moreover is too sagacious to
modify his foreign polley for the con
tentment of Irish Demoorats. There is
no ground whether from a financial or
political point of view for denying him
the confidence of Englishmen. We are
bound to respeot (Jjg clearly pronounced
will of tjig American people and we can
not consider it an unmixed misfortune
for the Republicans that they are tempo
rarily compelled to breathe the bracing
air of opposition,
LANGLEY.
A Graphic Description of a Thriving Place.
We find the following letter in re
ference to Langley, 8. 0., in a Boston ex
ohange:
Mr. Editor— Having been a reader of
your journal from the time it first start
ed, and knowing the desire of its many
intelligent readers to go beyond their
own home circle and learn something re
mote from their eveyday knowledge, I
have concluded to', give them some ac
count of the village of Langley, 8. C.,
whioh, within the past few years, has
sprung into existence, where a few years
ago wa^only an unimproved forest and
unreclaimed swamp, through whioh
flowed the sluggish waters of Great
Horse Greek. To-day it attracts the at
tention of the tourist or stranger, aB he
passes on the South Carolina or Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.
A beautiful lake first appears covering
iu extent seven or eight hundred acres
of what formerly was a worthless swamp;
then suddenly a village of gothic houses
comes into view, whicn, from their lo
cality on rising ground, presents a pleas
ing prospect—laid out as it is regularly,
with streets adorned with shade trees,
which in a few years will afford ample
shade to the town.
In nearer proximiey to the water is the
ootton mill of the Langley Manufactur
ing Company, the symmetrical propor
tions of which—ample yard room and
general surroundings—often calls from
the Northern traveler remarks of sur
prise that in South Carolina so much of
thrift and enterprise is displayed. The
first projectors of this manufacturing en
terprise were men from Charleston, 8.
C., whose zeal for the business far sur
passed their knowledge of it. They com
menced their organization in 1865, and
after an expenditure of nearly half a
million, they failed for want of funds to
carry on the work—not having started
or put iu position a single loom. Hav
ing borrowed largely from Messrs. Wm.
C. Langley & Cos., of New York, and
mortgaging the property to secure them,
it eventually fell into their hands.
Messrs. Langley k Cos., not being man
ufacturers, offered the property far sale,
but it was looked upon as a failure, and
a purchaser could not be found. For
some tims it was known as the “Lang
ley Elephant.”
In the early part of 1870 Mr. Langley
visited Augusta, Ga., and interested
several of the prominent citizens of that
city in the enterprise of organizing a
company to oomplete the works and
start manufacturing, which plans were
subsequently carried out, and in March,
1871, the first cotton goods were turned
out.
Although the enterprise has been a
success to the present company, they
have been unfortunate. Hardly four
months had elapsed after starting manu
facturing before a terrific gale unroofed
the extensive skylight on the factory
building, and soon after a portion of
their mill dam was washed away, which
stopped their works for several weeks,
and incurred heavy expenditures in re
pairing the damage. From the time of
this disaster, the company were favored
with four years of prosperity, in which
they realized handsome profits on their
business, and the par value of their
stock advanced 25 per cent. They, how
ever, owing to the depressed condition
of business of all kinds, whioh affected
the manufacturer seriously, ceased divi
dends after April Ist, 1875.
On the 7th of J uly, 1875, a terrific
thunder storm passed over the place,
and while it was raging fearfully their
otherwise fire proof warehouse was
struck by lightning, which set fire to
the cotton and manufactured goods
stored in the building, and before the
fire could be extinguished, destroyed a
considerable part of the contents of
the warehouse and burned off the roof.
The company proceeded at ODce to re
pair the damage, but before this was
effected, and when only part of the
roof had been replaced, it was again
found on fire, on the Ist of Auguat—
this time, it is supposed, from a pass
ing locomotive. This fire was soon
subdued, and the loss was compara
tively small to the loss by the first
fire. The total loss of the two fires
amounted to $18,908 48, which was
wholly borne by the Langley Manu
facturing Company, as they oarried no
insurance at that time upon the ware
house. The capital stock of the Lang
ley Manufacturing Company is $400,000,
and they own in this neighborhood
over 4,600 acres of land, mostly cover
ed with wood, and their machinery, to
gether with the cotton mill, bnildings,
a grist mill and village of over one
hundred houses, which afford homes
to a population of over eight hundred
inhabitants.
The product of their mannfactnring
for the year ending January Ist, 1876,
was 5,723,671 yards of sheeting, shirt
ing anddrills, weighing 1,889,127 pounds,
at a cost of $433,764 27.
The monthly pay roll of the company
exceeds eight thousand dollars. Not
withstanding the depressed condition of
all business, especially cotton manufac
turing, the cotton mill has run full time
and the company have always paid their
pay roll on the regular pay days.
The place has been noted for the or
derly and peaceable behavior of its in
habitants, and very few cases have origi
nated in Langley to be adjusted ia the
criminal Courts. M.

THE IKON HOIKS E ON A NEW TRACK.
The world keeps on moving. The
Vatican has really gone into the business
of railway building, and in the course
of a few months'it is not improbable
people who desire to pay a visit to
Palestine will be able to visit the various
points of religious and historical interest
there with “ baggage checked through,”
and without the tedious intervention of
pack-horses and mules. At all events,
one Signor Pierotti has just been to
Rome and obtained from the Pope his
offioiai sanction for carrying out the en
terprise (already sanctioned by the Sul
tan) of making a port of Jaffa and con
structing a railway thence to Jerusalem,
a distance of some miles. Thus en
couraged, Signor Pierotti has addressed
a circular to the wealthier and more
distinguished Catholics throughout the
world, soliciting subscriptions in aid of
the enterprise. The prospectus is a novel
one in some respects. It is proposed
to obtain 100 foundation members,
whose names, with the amount of their
respective offerings, are to be published
at the head of a prospectus inviting
Catholics of all nations to constitute
themselves shareholders, and draw their
dividends in the form of feelings of
satisfaction at having assisted by their
subscriptions, however small these may
be, in the formation of a port and rail
way intended to facilitate pilgrims
traveling to Jerusalem, and pilgrimages
to the sanctuaries and holy places, and
in planting Catholic colonies and agri
cultural and industrial establishments
in Palestine, to which latter aims the
profits of the railway and port are to be
devoted. There is no reason to suppose
the project will fall through for want of
capital, When the religious feeling is
enlisted in a material enterprise of any
kind, the scheme is tolerably certain of
success. We have uo doubt a railway
like this, under proper management,
could be made to pay handsome
dividends, even of a more tangi
ble character than those to which
Signor Pierotti alludes. As it is not
to be supposed that the Sultan would
have given his authorization were it to
be run in the interests of one sect to
the exclusion of others, or to the ex
clusion of travelers who are not pil
grims, it must receive a liberal patron
age from the vast number of tourists
and excursionists who annually make
Palestine their objective point. The
railroad would unquestionably stimulate
this kind of travel, and by that means a
trade would be developed along the line
which would in various ways wonder
fully hasten the establishment of those
agricultural and industrial establish
ments to which it is to be subsidiary.
We shall study the progress of the en
terprise with the same curious interest
which attaches to the railroad experi
ment which British capitalists are mak
ing in the vicinity of Canton, China.—
There is nothing like the iron horse for
stirring up those old civilizations and
reopening to modern enterprise channels
of traffio and travel that have been closed
it may be said almost from time imme
morial.
GEN. JOE LANE. .
The Man Who Ran for Vice-President With
Breckinridge—He Become# a Hermit—Hi*
Singular Life.
The most notable object of interest in
Oregon is old Gen. Joe Lane. No man
ever received such an ovation for ser
vices in the field as Joe Lane when he
returned from Mexico at the close of the
war, and gave the State a chance to car
ry him on its shoulders for his gallan
try at Bnena Yista. He went West in
1866, was appointed Provisional Gover
nor of Oregon by Fillmore, then was in
the Senate, and had just finished his
term when he was nominated for Vice-
President on the ticket with Breckin
ridge.
After that defeat the hot political
places that knew him once knew him no
more forever. He bought a farm back
of Roseburg, running up from the Val
ley of the Williamette, and built him a
small frame house on a picturesque spur
of the Rogue River Mountains, where he
has lived ever since in perfect seclusion.
Two years ago he lost his wife, whom he
always called “The Madame,” and
loved devotedly. Since then his desola
tion has been relieved only by a negro
boy, who cooks and keeps house for
him. He is eighty-three now, straight
as an arrow, six feet two inches in
height, and he can pick up his rifle and
bring home a deer or follow down a trout
stream over the rooks about as well as
the next man.
And then he reads a good deal. One
room in his cabin is sacred to his books,
and his library is one of the most valua
ble on the Pacific slope. Only once
lately they got him worked up to the
point of coming down from his garret in
the clouds and making a speech. It was
on the 4th of June, at Roseburg. There
were at least 5,000 people present and
when the old hero began, the audience
stretched their necks as if anew revela
tion was coming, and every word was to
be preoious. Only a few could hear him,
for his voice had drifted into the child
ish treble, but curiosity kept them
spell-bound till be closed. He remind
ed one, with his majestic presence and
flowing white hair and beard, of John
the Baptist in the wilderness crying
unto the people “Repent I” The old
man has one will left—to vote for Tilden
and Hendrioks. If the ticket wins he
wants to depart in peace, like Simeon,
for he will have lived to see the coun
try’s salvation.
