NEW G. & C. lt. It. COMPANY. A permanent organization of the compa¬ ny which recently purchased tho Greenville it Columbia Railroad has been effected un¬ der tiie name of the Columbia it Greenville Railroad Company, the proper certificate being filed with thc Secretary of State. Tho following are thc officers : President, R. L. McCaughrnu ; Vice President, A. C. Has¬ kell. Directors-J. S. Cothran, Abbeville Wm. A. Courtenay, Jnmes Conner, F. J. Pelzer, Charleston ; A. C.

The following officers were appointed by tho board of directors : T. H. M. Tnlcott, general manager; James Conner, general- counsel ; J. W. Fry, superintendent ; C. H. Manson, treasurer; Thomas M. Barker, secrctnry and auditor; Sol Hans, general freight agent ; A. Pope, general passenger agent. Resolutions were adopted declaring tho policy of tho company, end directing that tho management should bo conducted with a view to develop local traffic and produc¬ tion throughout tho country tributary to tho road, and that large and 1 ibcnU facilities should be a Horded to producers and to tho patrons of thc road, wi li a view to tho fullest development of fie business of tito rf».n«l Ronniiitinnu W«M *!on mlinO.wl tl>u» it was not the purpose or policy of thc com¬ pany to divert trade and business from Charleston, but to increase it so as not io injure, but to be neat that port. These resolutions aonnd very well, and we only hope will bo carried out in good fulth by the Company. Tho aggregate footing of tho railroad returns to tho Legislatero of thia Stato show a great and gratifying increase, in business. Tho gross oarnlngs of all tho roads In thóStoto in 1870 were$4.008,802.78 ; tho expenses wero $3,003,040.70; not earnings $910,450.08.

In¬ crease of expenses $487,410.62; increase .tot earnings this yoar $140,851.70, or nearly fío por cent. Tho Stato Superintendent of Education in his report again recommends tho Leg¬ islature to authorize tho levying of a dis¬ trict, Behool tax by tho peoplo of each school district in the Stuto. The Legisla¬ ture may act-favorably upon his recom¬ mendation, but wo.dare say it will bo ?"cw school districts that w|U levy a tax. Thoro are' not many sections of tho Stato vhcre such ncilon la olthe.' practicablo or .viso.

Thc Assistant General Freight Agent of the Columbia it Greenville Railroad wa« In Anderson on Tucsdvy, and In conversation with some of our merchants stated thnt in the matter of freight* from thc "West or elsowherc Anderson should not bo discrim¬ inated against. Thal wo should have evey advantage for the development and build« ing up our town 111 tit they can possibly givo us, and that in the course of a few days thc rates of freights to all points on thin Hoad would bc arranged »ad nettled upon. That while goods from thc West wore belog now chipped hy the way of Augusta, that tho freight charges would liol be higher in con¬ sequence, sud that the recent advance in freights was duo us much to other lines as their own. THK OFINION* OF OL'll ItMFltKSF.N- TATIVI». A reported of the Charleston .Wu» tiwi Courier last #rcok propounded this ques¬ tion to the Senators and Representatives in the legislature; "In your opinion what policy should bo pursued by tho Democratic party in South Carolina to retain good nnd honest government, and at tho saino time seenro ti freo ballot and a fair count?" Tho following replies were received from our Immediate Kop- resontatives. Mr. K. IL Murray said : "So far as my acquaintance and information go wo haye had nothing Lut. a lair election this time, ! think, however, as tho Constitution re¬ quires it, tho passage of a registration law is nu imperative duly. It would remove tho appearance of fraud, and correct any actual fraud, that may exist. Thu people of tho Stalo shoo ld purnim lt liberal poli¬ cy towards all classes ol'citizens mid ron der the government UH acceptable to nil as possible, and in this way remove soy inducement upon tho part of honest eiti- '/ons to oppoHo un. I nm totally opposed to ;»ny abandonment of the principles of the National Doiliociiltic parly. Konator IL F. Cray lon sahl : "Tho up¬ country ls in posse .'.¡on of both honest govorninont and fair elections, but is willing to adopt any measures which mny lilford roll if tn tho low country. Col. IO. M. Hücker said I think tho cud eau bu reached through tho present Democratic organization in this State. Mr. II. \V. Simpson said: Tho solution will bo partially found in a proper reg¬ istration act. I um opposed to an educa¬ tional iiualilie.it ion, but I favor requiring every voter to present his poll tux ro- colptat tho ballot hov, und repeal nil hiWM enforcing thu collection of this tax. Mr. Ii. M. Prince said : 1 don't bel levo il eau bo roached by registration-that'd n two-edged wennon. Tho only way I soo is to ro-onaot tho two-box law and sepáralo the ¡átato and National elections. I fnVÖr Momo amendments to thu Consti¬ tution, hut I think they could bo mudo by legislative action. I'm afraid if thov have a constitutional convention wc- will try to do too much. I'OPWLAIt VOTE FOI! I'ltESIDENT.

Tho correspondent of tho Xetn tutti (t it¬ rier, writing hom Columbia, undor ditto of November 20, says : "Tho temper of tho House seems to indicate strongly a f disposition to refer nil proposed amend¬ ments to tho^Constltutinn to a commis¬ sion to coiiNlder and report back their conclusions to tho (Jouerai Assembly at its next session. Tho Senate ls moro equally divided on tho subject, but tho majority, it is thought, nro lu favor of similar action. A careful canvass of tho members of tho (louerai Assembly to-day allowed an unmistakable and earnest de¬ termination to closo tho work of tho ses¬ sion and adjourn tine rlie before Christ¬ mas. A largo number of tho members think mi adjournment can bo reached by tho 15th of Doconibor. This will hardly bo practicable consistently with careful legislation, but nu adjournment by thu 22d nf December seems both practicable nnd probable." «??i mr* -»ww-WKMW THE STATE PENITENTIARY.

A Craxe lu the Market-Wild Ilujing on Friday-WIU thor« be Another Side to the Picture. ¡Special to the Philadelphia Ledger. NEW YoitK, November 20. The specu¬ lative fever, which low had possession of Wall and Broad streets din.og thc past ten days or two wooka, extended to tho Cotton Exchange to-day. Tim excito- mont there at ono tune it is dilUcult to depict. It was u genuine craze. The quantity of cotton sold for future deliv¬ ery (running into June next, in somo in¬ stances,) was upwards of four hundred thousand hales, mid juices under this head of steam wero run up nearly a cent a pound, about one-half of which, bow- over, was lost nt the «loso. There was real¬ ly littloor no legitímalo tradoabout it. It was simply tho ovorllow of Wall and Dread streets int'» the Colton Kxchango- all sort« of people, drv goods merchants, brokers' clerks, as well as the bigger cap¬ italists partiel pating in thc gamble. ISvorybouy for the montent .vas on a "willi hum" for cotton, of course thero will bo another Hide to tho picture, and it will probably not ho long before it ii vin- I bio.

AMERICA TO IRELAND. "Money, Hu trollen and, ir Keconnary, Men !" Kew York Herald. It ls painful to think of Ireland in re¬ bellion.

As a question of force thero could only be ono omi to un armed struggle Tho »'owor of England thrown upon Ireland .. oultl crush her in a singlo campaign.

ORGANIZATION OF TI'.;.' NEW G. & C.lt. It. COMPANY.

A permanent organization of the compa¬ny which recently purchased tho Greenvilleit Columbia Railroad has been effected un¬der tiie name of the Columbia it GreenvilleRailroad Company, the proper certificatebeing filed with thc Secretary of State. Thofollowing are thc officers : President, R. L.McCaughrnu ; Vice President, A. C. Has¬kell. Directors-J. S. Cothran, AbbevilleWm. A. Courtenay, Jnmes Conner, F. J.Pelzer, Charleston ; A. C. Haskell, Colum¬bia ; H. D. Plant, Wm. P. Clyde, lt. T»Wilson, New York ; T. M. Logan, JamesBryan, James H. Dooley, F. R. Scott, Rich¬mond.The following officers were appointed by

tho board of directors : T. H. M. Tnlcott,general manager; James Conner, general-counsel ; J. W. Fry, superintendent ; C. H.Manson, treasurer; Thomas M. Barker,secrctnry and auditor; Sol Hans, generalfreight agent ; A. Pope, general passengeragent.

Resolutions were adopted declaring thopolicy of tho company, end directing thattho management should bo conducted witha view to develop local traffic and produc¬tion throughout tho country tributary totho road, and that large and 1 ibcnU facilitiesshould be aHorded to producers and to thopatrons of thc road, wi li a view to thofullest development of fie business of titorf».n«l Ronniiitinnu W«M *!on mlinO.wl tl>u»

it was not the purpose or policy of thc com¬pany to divert trade and business fromCharleston, but to increase it so as not ioinjure, but to be neat that port.These resolutions aonnd very well, and

we only hope will bo carried out in goodfulth by the Company.

Tho aggregate footing of tho railroadreturns to tho Legislatero of thia Statoshow a great and gratifying increase, inbusiness. Tho gross oarnlngs of all thoroads In thóStoto in 1870 were$4.008,802.78 ;tho expenses wero $3,003,040.70; notearnings $910,450.08. Gross earnings thisyoar $4,043,074.80; expenses $3.585,70fl.C.« :

nearly fío por cent.

Tho Stato Superintendent of Educationin his report again recommends tho Leg¬islature to authorize tho levying of a dis¬trict, Behool tax by tho peoplo of eachschool district in the Stuto. The Legisla¬ture may act-favorably upon his recom¬

mendation, but wo.dare say it will bo?"cw school districts that w|U levy a tax.Thoro are' not many sections of tho Statovhcre such ncilon la olthe.' practicablo or.viso.
