Masonio Festival.
The Anniversary of St. John, the
Evangelist, was celebrated by the Masonic
Fraternity of our Village, in a
magnificent supper, on Monday evening
last. Tho supper was provided
by the hostess of the Marshall House,
Mrs. Mays, in her best style, and was
discussed with due appreciation by
some fifty persons?Masons and invited
guests. Over ono of the tablen

Kobertson, Judge Hill, of tho Probate
Court, II. S. Kerr, and other prominent
Masons. Among tho invited
guests present were Mr. P.urt, and Gen

worthy to rank witk the best of
Christmas festivals, where mirth
and good fellowship?song and sentiment,
lent their varied attractions to
the rich exuberance of tho feast.

ciiristmar.?Christmas week is
passing oft' without any noteworthy
incident. In spite of the wet ami !
dipagreeable weather there has been i
a large attendance of freedmen, who;
for the most part have conducted j
xnemsoives quietly and orderly. There |
has been the usual amount of gunpowder
burnt, but without an}* injury,
we believe, to life or limb.
In the way of festivities, wo have
had the Masonic Celebration here?at
Due West, a Concert and other
amuBemonts?at Cokcsbury a very
successful supper and Christmas tree;
and we suppose everywhere throughout
the District a feast ?f good things
to remind one of the day, and to do]
justice to its pleasant associations.
To our readers all we extend the bost
wipbes of tho season.

'tJw Creenviilo' & Columbia Railroad,
and Northern Capitalists.
[The following editorial was-pfrepar-"
ed last -week, but deferred, by request
:]
Wo leurn that at a Into meeting of
tho Directors of the G. & C. I?. R-,
held in Columbia, a proposition to
lease the road for n number of years
was made by certain Northern Capitalists.
Through the kindness of a
friend, we are enabled to give tho
terms of this proposition, which we
append below. Its acceptance involved
the necessity of calling a meeting
of tho stockholders, and we regret
that some difficulties growing out of
I tho subject, has led to its withdrawal.
We still hope that this or some similar
arrangement may be made by which
|Northern skill, o. terprise and capital,!
, may be directed, in this most efficient!
| mode of stimulating our industry, and
developing our resources.
j What is it that these Capitalists
j proposed to do ??to pay the iloating
debt oi tho Comtmnv. and keen down I
j the interest on the founded debt? to]
j buy up the Stock, at 82 per share? j
jto replace the light iron of tho road
j with heavy "T" iron?to improve the
rolling stock?to build a telegraph
line along tho road?to reduce the
freight and passage rates 20 per cent.
?in bhort as stated in tho annexed
letter of their agent, to expend in two
years, upon the road, ono half mill- j
'ion more than the revenue of the j
road. Wo learn also that it was in j
! tho contemplation of these erenllonnMi I
I * ? 1 I
j to extend tho connections of the roar! j
|?perhaps by building a branch to j
j Washington, Ga., on tho West, and .
to Chester on tho East?in fact to do!
j
all for it that capital directed by skill
and energy could effect.
Should this or some similar propojsition
not bo'accepted? Would ili
not ba to the interest of tho slock hoi-j
dors themselves to soil out at ?2 per
share ? Even if it involved a sacrifice
in this particular, would it not be j
amply compensated, by the appreciation
of those greater 'interests which!
belong to the stockholders as owners!
!of real estate, and property holders!
otherwise? Who shall -set limits to |
the benefits which would result from
j tho infusion of unlimited capita! and !
unbounded energy into an enterprise!
of this character. How much would i
it not do to stimulate industry at
home, and to attract capital from
abroad?to encourage emigration?to
enhance tho valuo of our lands?to
give a new impetus to business of alt;
kinds?to foster every material interest?to
lay wide anu deep the_for.u-'
dalions of our future growth. Come
whenco they may, wo welcome into
our midst, foreign skill, energy and
capital. As business men, as patriot?,
and philanthropists, we extend to 1
them our most cordial welcome, most
ardent S3*mpnthy and earucHt co-operatives.
The following is, a Memorandum
of tho proposition to^ lease
the Greenville and Columbia
Rail Road by Thop. A. Scott, President
Pennsylvania Central Rail Road, and
Henry Clews Banker, New York.
1st. To leaso the Road for 20 or 25
years.
2nd. To pay tho interest on the
enure lundecL debt of the company
and to continue to pay it promptly an
it matures during the lease, also to
paj7- the floating debt of tho company
at the time tho lease commences.
3d. To buy all the stock offered"
within one year from tho date of the
jcommencement of the lease at two
dollars per share cash.
4th. To tako up and relay all the
light Iron on the Road (say about G5
miles) with T Rail of not less weight
than 50 lbs to tho yard, within two
years from the commencement of the
lease, and to relav all the balnnpn nf
j the road when needed with similar
iron.
5th. To improve tho condition of
the rolling stock of the road, within
one year, and make it equal to the requirements
of the road, and to keep it
up to tho improved condition during
the lease.
Gtb, To build a telegraph line along
the entire line; as soon as it can be
done alter the commencement of the
lease, or within one year, provided a
charter for tho same, with the necessary
legislation, can be obtained from
jtho Legislature.
| 7th. To rcduce the rates of freight
j and passage at once 20 per cent, below
present rates, and not to increase
it above that reduced rate during the
lease.
8th. To deposit a snfflciont amount
of bonds and stocks with the company,
or in place agreed upon, as security
for tho faithful and prompt carry
iug out of the contract or leaso.
9th. To run the road regularly during
the term, and to turn it over to
the company at the termination of it,
in its improved condition,
copt

Col. H. P. Hammttt?Dear Silt; I
understand that your Board does not
heartily accord with the proposition to
Jease the Greenville Road, ^a*wl also
that more favorably propositions than
the one X submitted could be obtained
in case a lease was deemed advisable.
[ The proposition made on behalf oi
myself and associates, was made in
good faith alter a oareful consideration
of the whole subjeot, and, as you must
now be well satisfied, the party 1 represented
had ample means to fulfllall
thev proposed.

and-1 made tbo most liberal proposi- '
tion I can make within the scope of
my authority. I considered two dollars
per 6bare for tho stock its outside
