CROWDS OF VISITORS.

Day by day Greenville becomes more
and more crowded. Afternoon by after
noon the trains arrive with more and
more travellers. The huge Mansion House
is full until it can hold not another hu-

Charleston concerning the yellow fever,
is causing this increased. rush. But as

that is tangible regarding this fever, we
will make no further allusion to it.

This reverend gentleman, so well

THE METHoDIsTs, THE MAsoNs, AND DIR.
BUST.
On Tuesday last was laid the corner
stone of the new Methodist Church, which
is to be an imposing edifice. The crowd
was considerable, and the day was tu-
multuously hot, dusty and windy. Things
were not well managed. Not more than
two dozen people, who crowded ferocious-
ly around the spot, witnessed the cere
mony, which was performed by the Ma
sons. These were out in full regalia.
Among them was Rev. Mr.. STEPHENS,
Presiding Elder, aman as large, and
apparently as strong, as the Levial
than of the old Testament, and with the
strongest lungs in the known world.
Yet. nevertheless, his prayer was entire
ly borne away by the tearing and rush.

who was prevented from attending. DR..
BUST battled manfully with the wind,
and triumphed gloriously. His address
was appropriate, able, eloquent, and prov

thunderbolt. But we didn't like what
the DIR. sailor seemed to think-about
the want Of real feeling and fervent pie
ty in Churches of gorgeous ritual. Some
souls in this world have needs that other
souls have not. And God has provided
for all. God has provided the organs,
and the robes, and the ca1fdles, and the
pictures, and the glorious, soaring music
of the Episcopal and Roman Catholic
Churches, no less than the palmer ap
pointments of severer Professionalism. AS

ADJOURNMENT OF THE KU KLuM COMMIT
rEE.-For time, at least, the public will be-
relieved from the daily bulletins issued by the
Congressional Committee appointed to investi-
gate the condition of affairs in tho Southern
States. Yesterday the committee concluded
its labors and adjourned tillthe rriddle of Sep
tember. The last witness examined was Lieu
tenant Pickett, Of the Sixteenth United States
infantry, stationed at Pontiac Mississ:p pi
who testified that the Ku Klux organization ex-.
listed in that State, its object being to drive
out Northern men and to intimidate negro
voters. and that within fonr months nine,
negroes had been murdered in Monroe county
by these masked marauders. The inyestiga..
tons by the committee demonstrate the exist
ence of powerful secret political organizations
throughout the South, and show THAI in many
sections fearful outrages have been oommjtted
upon both white aud black republicans. Many
excuses were offered for the organization of
the Ku Klux Khan, such as the impossiblity
to bring certain class Of offenders to Justice !;
the facility with which convicted felons could
obtain executive clemency and be turned loose
to again prey upon society, and the anarchy
and misrue which prevailed every where undel
negro legislation.

THE WEsTFKLD CALAMrrY.--Yesterday
added three more to the long list of victims of
the Westfcld calamity, and still others are
lingering in agony without hope Of recovery.
The official investigation into the causes Of
this disaster indicates TO lack Of attention on
the part OF the fireman; on the contrary, it is
shown that the boiler was full of water, and
therefore the explosion must have resulted
either from defect in the boiler itself or an
over-pressure of steam. An expert, ex-Boiler
Inspector Bergman, is of the opinion that
the accident must have been caused by too
much pressure, and this is also the belief of
other practical engineers and boiler makers.
Mr.. Bergman reflects very severely npon the
management of the Staten Island Ferry Com
pany. He says he ever found their boats in
bad condition and always experienced trouble
in getting repairs done, and but few months
since predicted some fearful catastrophe IN
less . reform WAS instituted. The investiga-
ton thus far has been most searching, and, no
doubt, will establish the blame where it be-

Making "A Martyr Of tho InternasisnaI

Society.
The International Society is making too
much noise in the world, or rather the world
chiefly that composed Of officials-is making
too much noise about the international Society.
The number Of fiendish plots that have of late
been set down to its account is apt to lead any
reflective mind to the inquiry whether the
society is composed of men or bowling demons,
or whether the plots attributed to its agency
nave not been grossly exaggerated? The
international Society has, no doubt, many
misdeeds to answer for. 1t was originally
established for good purpose, but it has
gone to the bad. Still the prosecutions of
the governments of Europe will only
increase its aggressiveness Polit cal and
religious societies have ever thrived
by oppression, and the International belongs
to the latter class as much as to the former, for
its followers have been taught to look upon it
as sort of creed. Persecution will render
the society interesting, by making it's members
appear ie tAs light q martyrs, and most will
ing martyrs they will be for the greater part.
The French government, says our despatch,
is about to introduce in the Assembly bills
against the International Society. The French
- - .s<c -
government ought to deprecate excessive
severity instead Of yielding to the clamors Of
the reactionary element. 1t could destroy the
evil effects Of the society by peaceable means.
How much better would it be to rend the veil
which surrounds the International, by allowing
its proceedings the utmost publicity and treat
ing it in the same manner as any other society |!

THE HEALTH OF THE CIrY-PRECAU7roN
OF TIE BOARD oe.HRALrH. While the cholera
is slowly travelling toward the West yellow
fever is raging in many parts of tropical
America. 1t is absolutely necessary to the
health Of the city that both shouldbe carefully
excluded by rigid quarantine. So far this
season has been unusually healthy. Nothing
like an epidemic has even been threatened;
but the ravages of cholera in Persia, and
even az far to the westward as Central
Europe, and the fatal type of the yellow
fever everywhere, suggest the necessity Of en-
ploying every safeguard against their intro
dnction. This the Health Officer of the Port
is determined to do, not only by strict quar-
antine of all vessels from infected ports, but
by careful scrutiny Of the condition Of the
city. The first requisite to the health Of the
metropolis is cleanliness, and the Board of
Health is acting wisely in having all the hot
beds of disease in the city disinfected. Pre-
cautionary measures are wise, and we heartily
commend the resolution of cur health au-

Tho Fashionable and Religious Season In

Tho Fashionable and Religious Season In
tho Country.
While fashion now rules the hour at the sea-
side, at the springs and at our noun tain sum-
mer resorts and while a large proportion of
our fashionable city parsons ara wandering
about our country places of fashion and folly,
in search of health and recreation, or are off,
expenses, for the tour of Europe, the cause of
religion is by no means neglected, even at the
seaside caravanseraies or the springs. At
Newport, at Saratoga, Niagara Falls and L,ng
Branch and elsewhere, in various churches
they have ''the stated preaching Of the Cos
pei, and the guests of almost every country
hotel have the Gospel preached to them, Sum
day morning or evening, or hava a church
where they may hear it within a convenient
Sabbath mornings journey.
But the Methodists are particularly distin-
guished, with their great camp meetings, for
their religious summer campaigning in the
country. More, perhaps, are they indebted to
this peculiar institution of theirs than to auy
other for their multitndinous muster roll of
churches, chapels and congregations through
out the land. They began this summer season
with their great national camp meeting, lasting
for ten days, at Round Lake, near Saratoga
Springs, and their coming camp meeting below
Long Branch will make tie month Of August
memorable month of this extraordinary sum-
mer to thousands of people Never falling at
these camp meetings to make numerous con-
versions to them from the most God sorsaken
sinners, the Methodists have found it to be
their true policy to keep up this popular and
useful primitive institution. 1t combines
religion with wholesome recreation and
country air, and business with pleasure, and
strengthens the Church among the masses of
the people. And so we say success'to the
camp meetings Of the Methodists and Of every
other sect calculated to make msn and women
better qualified for the duties Of this world
and the everlasting joys Of the new life
reserved for the faithful in the world to come.
