Net only are the representatives of Southern financial interests to he rec? ognized in the enlarged hoard of di? rectors, according to a dispatch to the American from its New York corres? pondent, hut in tiie physical manage? ment of the road sight is not to be lost for a moment of the fact that henceforth the Seaboard is a lug Southern enterprise, conducted with an eye to Southern industrial inter? ests, as well as an eye to all of the Stockholders of the company. To Baltimore the change of con? trol means much. Although the road j does pot properly traverse Maryland territory, except as its control of the hay Lane running from Norfolk to Baltimore. Maryland will continue to have four members of the hoard of directors, besides having the control rest with one of It! liveliest financiers, Mr. Warfleld Is a Baltlmorean first I and in the now policy soon to be inaugurated tin- best interest* of the city will receive hi.-- first considera? tion, lake the lata E, H, Elarriman, Mr. Warfleld *ees In state ami sec? tional pride a potential asset.

WAS A (iOOl) BARGAIN. Mi*, siuiut r c omea Back at tlx' lor, lint Endorsee Railroad Appro? priation. Bditor ?'i tin- l > lily Item. Smoke obscures rather than en? lightens, in view of keeping the rec? ord straight I am sorry that 1 did not keep the copy lu tuia- me, hut trusted tu memory and made the fatal mis? take of saying that ' the chief object of tile meeting Was to have been" in? stead of saying that, ' the chief sub? ject of discussion was to have been." Your readers can readily see how pertinent this was to the subject I discussed, "appropriation" ot County funds by the County Commissioners. We were both present at the meet- j ing where a certified copy of the Act was read which '?authorized*' the Couty Commissioners to draw their j warrant Immediately in favor of the Clerk and Treasurer of the City of Bumter, etc.. and the statement made by one or more of the delegatioa that the original draft of the bill contained the words "ard directed," after the word "authorised." You were pivs sent, correct me if I misquote again. I did not question either the neces? sity or the justifiability of the Act. but merely the statement that the County Commissioners made the ap? propriation. If any one desires to shirk the re? sponsibility of this I am not aware of it. I am not a member of the Coun? ty Board of Commissioners and do not speak for them, but of them. My article of the Huh. was written upon my own initiative and responsibility. As a small taxpayer both in the city ami without. I can say that 1 am glad the County got the railroad, and that it will Im- m source of revenue to the county an long as time shall last. I also think it was a good bargain at the price. I hope I have ttot wearied you or your read* rs. 1 should, however, ha\e remembered before starting that ??in should be wary of fighting! the devil with lire, b-st he should get his lingers burned, for the devil, i beg pardon, I me ant the Editor, always ha^ a come back.
