PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.
CHARLESTON, S. c., October Ex-Governor
Scott has issued the following proclamation
TO the Citizens of South Carolina;
Fello,o Citizens The numerous complaints
made to this Department of murders and out
RACES committed by wicked and inconsiderate
persons, excited by intense party feeling made
it my duty to issue the late proclamation calling
upon all good and true men, without respect to
political predictions, to unite In determine
ton to discountenance and denounce lawlessness
and violence, and in an effort to recover and
maintain the good name that has heretofore
been the heritage and the pride of our beloved
State. 1t is now my pleasing duty to congrat-
ulate you upon the beneficial results that have
ensued from the admirable and well timed adj
dress ofGen. Hampton and the Executive Com
mittee Of the Democratic party In earnest
and impressive terms they have called upon
the people to suspect the laws, to preserve the
peace and to denounce those crimes which have
so recently been committed in some portions of
our State. These PATRIOTIC counsels cannot fail
of having wide and wholesome influence in
moderating the vehemence of feeling Of those
to whom they are authoritatively addressed,
while they have Quoted the apprehensions and
conciiated the respect and good will of their
political opponents This is certainly just
cause OF congratulatlon to every we'll Wlsher or
the State, and it gives me unfeigned pleasure
to acknowledge it, and to earnestly invoke the
cooperation of every member of the Republi
can party in reciprocating to the fullest extent
the pacific policy so admirably inculcated by
the Democratic leaders.
Let acrimonious and irritating discussions be
avoided, and appeals be made to the intelli-
gence and reason, and not to the fears or pas
sions of the community Differ as we may in
political sentiments, it is the dictate alike of
wisdom and patriotism for all to appeal to and
confde in the efficacy of peaceful remedies for
political evils, actual or supposed. Let ''bear
and forbear'' be our maxim, and so shall the
peace, prosperity and honor of our beloved
State be maintained and perpetuated, and her
time honored escutcheon will be preserved I'm
suied and undimmed in all its original purity

Earthquakes upon this continent.

A Washington letter writer furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting facts in regard to the earth
quakes which have occurred upon this continent.
The recent earthquakes in South America and
in California make the narrative especially in
teresting at this time:
During the winter of 1911 IL, an earthquake
occurred at New Madrid, Mo-, which has been
called to the recollection of aged citizens by the
recent CONFUSION of nature in California. The
accounts given at the time state that the land,
both below and above New Madrid, was sunk
several feet and covered with water. The shocks
were accompanied by loud explosions, and
chasms were opened in the ground, from which
volumes of water and steam were discharged.
Islands in the Mississippi river were sunk and
the current of the stream was driven back for
several hours, for distance of l8 miles, and
overlooked the adjacent land. About one-half
New Of Madrid county and the village Of New
Madrid were submerged, one of the lakes form
ed being sixty mileslong and several miles wide.
The earth rose in great fluctuations, and when
they reached certain height, the soil burst,
and vast columns of sand, water and substance
resembling coke were thrown out. 1t may be
recollected that during the rebellion the Union
forces turned the position of Island No. 10, on
the Mississippi river, by the construction of
quake of 1911 below New Madrid.
Earthquakes are said to be very common in
region of country embracing Southeastern Mis-
souri,, Northern Arkansas and the Indian Ter
ritory. Among the Ozark mountains there are
several extinct volcanoes, and one is reported
to have shown symptoms of activity within the
last three years. The hot springs in the Indian
Territory are continually exhibiting the con-
nection with the internal fires of the earth,
where slight volcanic eruptions occur regularly
twenty-four hours-two o o'clock In the morning.
A loud report is heard, accompanied with an
eruption of mineral oil and water-the latter
hot enough to boil eggs. The volcanic tendencies
Of this portion of the Union has seriously retard-
ed its settlement Rich Mississippi bottom
lands in the vicinity of New Madrid cannot be
sold for ten dollars per acre, while similar lands
fifty miles north or south readily bring 800 or
over.
1t may be worthy Of remark that the chasms
opened by the Mississippi Valley earthquake of
1911-12 were similar in appearance and at right
angles with those Of the great CONFUSION in
Chill In the year 1885, which extended three
hundred miles westward to the island of Juan
Fernandez, elevating some 100, 900 square miles
OF the bed of the sea above high water mark
1t is estimated that the amount of rock added
to the continent by the last named earthquake
was sufficient to form mountain higher than
Etna, with circumference of thirty-fve miles,
or equal in bulk to one hundred thousand
Egyptian pyramids.
In view of these and many similar facts, can
we continue in the belief that great changes of
climates and of the earth's surface are the work
of remote periods only and have ceased? Has
our planet got its growth?

The rational freedom which was enjoyed in
America prior to the war was founded upon
the principles of the Constitution of the United
States There can never be restoration of
the liberties and franchise ofthe people, nor can
republican government be long maintained on
on this continent except upon the basis of the
Constitution of our fathers. This is serious
truth that every American whether enfranchis-
ed or disrfranchised, should seriously reflect
upon. If it is steadily kept in view, many a
politician would save himself from the disgrace
of frequent tergiversations, which he must be
ever exhibiting if he persists in seeking safety
in policy merely. Principles are eternal
Truth is ever mighty. The Constitution is the
only anchor upon which we can hang hope
for American liberty.

consequence of General Reynolds Outrageous
order regarding the Presidential election in that

The Enquirer says that by rare exhibition
Of courage and endurance for the last seven
years, we have preserved that honor untarnish-
ed, for which the noblest and bravest of our
race so freely gave their young lives To the
determined resistance of Virginia to every at
tempt Of the Radical party to wiring from her
people an acquiescence in or approval of acts
designed with diabolical ingenuity to degrade
the white race of the State, is due our exemp
ton from many of the humiliations which have
been visited upon our Southern sisters
The policy Of pluck, which kept the Yankees
at bay for nearly four years, and saved Rich
mond from early occupation by the Federal
armies, is the one to which we owe the few
advantages which we now enjoy over the cot
ton States. 1t is the opposite policy of early
voluntary and ignominious submission to the
brutal rule of Radicalism which has made
Tennessee hell upon earth to respectable white
men.
The experience of Virginia should have
taught all of us that the splendid spectacle of
has kept at bay the hungry and ravening Rad
us piecs-meal had we covered before them.
1t has been said that the peace for which
Grant prays at the South, is that which can be
obtained by means of a triangular and most
expressive conservator of the peace called the
bayonet. AS disarmed people we cannot be
dishonored by the sort of peace which the
soldier enforces with the loaded musket Ifit
is the wish of the people of the North that the
white man of the South shall be ruled by the
negro, let it be done by the soldier Let the
national uniform become the livery of the ser
vitors of the African. Let West Point be
school for white major domos and buffers for
negro governors. If the loathsome spectacle is
to be exhibited of negro rule, let the people of
Virginia take care that so foul and hideous
wrong shall only be sustained by the bayonet
but by our acquiescence-never,n never!
