of twenty cannon discharged together.
The shock was sensibly felt in Chatham
street, and it is even said that the cell
ing in some of the buildings opposite the
Park was in jured by the conclusion. A
large fragment of the upper part of the
boiler, weighing, it is estimated, from
five to seven hundred pounds, was thrown
across the street and entered the upper
story Of a small wooden house, carving
with 1t nearly the whole of the front wall
of the building to the farther end of the
room, distance of about seventy feet
from the original place ofthc boiler. A
woman by the name Of Margaret jacobs
was lii the room ut the time; it passed
within two feet of her, but fortunately
she escaped without injury. Oher large
pieces of the boiler were thrown TO the
distance oftwenty and thirty feet. An
old lady in another house, the door of
which was open, was found by her
daughter lying in scnsc!ess state, on
the floor, close to the wall where she
had been thrown by the sudden gust of
air from the explosion. The effect was
like the blowing up of powder maga-
zine. Tie part Of the building in " hich
the engine was placed was separated hy
a strong brick wall from the rest of the
foundry; it was two story brick cdificc
and about forty feet by fifty on the
ground floor. The roof, covered with
tiles, was lifted several feet, the strong
frame worn was rent from the m r;iccs
and raised into the air, and the whole
fell with tremendous crash into the
street and the area of the building, lcav-
ing not brick or stick of timber in its
original place.
The engineer, John McCoyle, was dis
engaged from the ruins Of the building
quite dead, his body shockingIy bruised,
and the bones broken in various places.
His remains were Immediately enclosed
in Il coffin. lie has we understand, left
wife and child. The other person who
lost his life by this accident was named
Deyine, n cabinet maker from London
derry. He was passing Oh the opposite
side of the street when the explosion
took place, and was found Immediately
after in the gutter, bruised by the tim
bers of the building, his hands and face
much blackcned, and in the agonics of
death. lie was carried into n house OPP
posite, and expired almost immediately.
None Of the other persons employed in
the establishment were INJURED, although
fourteen or fifteen were in neighbor-
ing room.

JUDGE JoHNsToN's EIGHT REASONS FOR
BEING OPPOSED TO MULTIPLICATION.
The following letter was written by
Judge Johnston to his friend Col. Tay-
lor, in answer to an invitation to attend a
dinner at Charleston, composed princi-
pally Of the friends of nuHfcaiion.
CHARLESTON. Aug. 81, 1890.
My Dear Taylor-I have just rcceiv-
ed an invitation To your dinner of the
2Oth prox. Pray tell me, did it come
from the committee or from some other
quarter If from the committee, am
sure not man of them could have sent
it, otherwise than as mark of attention
If from another quarter, You know me
well enough to know that the jest is lost.
But my object in either case is to enquire,
whether if | attended the dinner, Icould
be heard with patience, while proving to
the satisfaction of any man whose mind
was in il state for thinking,
lst. That the protection Of domestic
manufactures was an avowed leading
and necessary object of the constitution.
:. That it was never lost sight of, bat
always relied upon as the capacity of the
country to produce developed itself.
3. That the late attempts on large
scale grew out of succession of such
Developments, and state of things re-
sulting from the changes in the applica-
ton of labor, which imperatiyely requr-
ed of every wise government to adopt
such course of policy.
4. That Carolina has not only not been
injured but really y benefited to many thou
sands by the Tariff.
5. That no state in the union is more
deeply interested in maintaining the prin-
ciplcs of the Tariff.
q. That notification is folly, and the
peaceablc course projected under IT, all a
silly and wicked dclusion.
I. That it grows ont Of deliberate
conspiracy against the union, which has
been steadily working upon us for the
last six years, though very few are in the
secret.
3. That Convention is the grand end
and aim and agent of that conspiracy.
My friend, you have much at stake,
and you are not the man whom | would
think to frighten, or wish or hope to de-
ceive. Before Almighty God, declare
to you that believe all the above pro-
positions to be true and you have my
permission, nay, request, to publish tins
with my name to it, for | am III earnest
Yours affectionatcly,

WILLIAM JOHNSTON.

The Charleston Courier states that a
detachment of U. S. troops left that city
on the previous day, on their way to the
Cherokee Nation, in Georgia. Their
express object is said to be, the removal,
not of the Indians, but the gold diggers.
The editor adds that the rage for this
precious metal, so far from being quail
fled or abated by the belhgerous state of
affairs, Is rather Oh the incrc ase; and the
whole Southern country seems diseased
with the itch for making money, and be-
coming rich in a summary manner. Eve
ry face seems cadayerously gildcd.
Every newspaper, and every day, brings
to light some new and invaluable mine
and he is most sceptical fellow indeed,
who does not believe it highly probable
that his account will lie in some new dis
coveries. All ages and conditions are
running after the El Dorado metal.

STEAM EXpLosIoN.-Thc boiler used
in the iron foundry of Mr.. McQueen in
Cross street, between Duane and Reed
streets, exploded yesterday about .
o'clock in the afternoon, and left the en-
tire front of the building in ruins, killing
ut the same time the engineer who was
in the cellar, and young man who was
passing in the street. The explosion
was tremendous, hurling the bricks,
beams and machinery of the foundry in
every direction and shattering the win

SoUTH-CARoLINA. The recent terlni-
nation of the election of City officers in
Charleston, furnishes to the friends ofun-
ion and good government, grounds of
high congratulation and Of much promise
for the future. The contest between the
nullifiers and the friends of union, was
severe and arduous indeed. But patri-
otism and love of country achieved a sig
nal triumph over the frenzied efforts of
Doct. Cooper and his misguided disci-
pies. The Jackson nulliiicrs were vim
dictive and perfectly reckless in their
manner of managing the canvass. The
life Of one of the editors of a paper OPP
posed to the nulliliers, was put in immi-
nent danger by mob composed of those
dangerous politicians whose brains had
been rendered giddy by the impassioned
cloqucncc of Hayne and Hamilton, the
great leaders and master spirits of nulli-
fcation.

third the number of deaths together a
mount to 88. We are sorry to say that
the malignancy of the prevailing epidc-

day, several invalids have taken relapses,
and Herewith ended life. From the
Mayors office, the sick that have been
sent to the hospitals average - a day.
The present weatherisby no means favor

night the cold wind blows on us which
does not suit the reduced states of system
at this season of the year. We have
had but little rain this week, and what
has fallen, has been so rapidly succeeded
by the great heat of the sun, that it has
by no means added to the Improvement OF
the state of health in our city

FRANCE. The late accounts from Eu-
rope must be read with great interest by
every one that looks at France with no
other feelings than those of deep solci-
tude for long, mistaken continuance to
her of that liberty which she has achiev-
ed in mode and under circumstances
that filings around the name of "French-
man. halo of imperishable glory. The
change in the condition Of France has
been accomplished by unconquerable pa
triotism, tempered and sustained by dis
passionate coolncss, and is altogether un-
tarnished by CRIME or violence. Who
can look into so much of the history of
France as is compressed into the narrow
space of the last four or five days in Ju-
ly, and the early part of August, without
recognizing the clear and manifest inter-
position of fJehovah in thus suddenly rails
ing up and guiding thirty millions ofpeo-
pie from the very lowest depths of op-
preston to the proud and lofty emincncc
of freedom whence they are now viewed
with admiration and astonishment by the
surrounding nations of the world Well
may the period of time in which we live
be deemed to be full of interest, and big
with events that must be connected with
the ultimate fate of the human family.
Ifthat long predicted era shall ever come,
and we verify believe it to be near at
hand, when ga nation shall be born in
day" is it not reasonable to suppose that
its arrival will be preceded by great po-
ltical commotons and revolutions, and
that they all shall tend directly to pro-
mote the purest happiness of man; Self
government is heavens inestimable gift
to man-it is great fundamental prin-
ciple of reason, consccratcd and sancti-
fed by religion itself, for the sole and
exclusive benefit of all men. Wherever
and whenever the spirit of that unchange-
able and purifying principle exists among
people, and its true philosophy is cor
rec,ly understood by them, that people
must, and, sooner or later, ~iN be free.
1t may truly be said of France that she
now stands as a beacon among the ma
tions of Europe-yes, France! redeem
ed, rcgenerated, and disenthralled,' your
bright example shall yet serve to light
up the career of some benighted nation
to happier destinies-the enjoyment of
self-govcrnment and unshackled liberty.
