GRANTS name will descend TO In
fanny coupled with the outrages now
being perpetrsted upon the people Of
South Carolina. WantOn, wicked and
causeless, without shadow Of excuse,
and having no foundation In law,
they are propOrtiOnately vindictive
and nneIciless. And there Is no help
for it. The poor, brutality treated la

PARIS, August 27.--Political circles
are again in fever of excitement oyel
the policy to be adopted by the Assembly
with regard to the present executive
New complications have arisen, ano
there is now a serious dispute between
Theirs and the committee on prolonga'
ton of executive powers, which has
brought matters under consideration to
n sudden termination. There are fresh
rumors in the city to-day which state
Theirs will positively submit his resigna-
ton to the Assembly tomorrow.
The negotiations of the party OF the
Right with General Chauncey, which
have been carried on for several days
past with view to his appointment as
successor to President Theirs, have ter
minated unsuccessfully, General Chadn-
cey positively refusing the use OF his
name in connection with the presidency.
A speedy termination of Theirs term
of office, as chief executive, IS consid-
cred in official circles, as a foregone con
clusion; and it is now the general belief
that should Theirs persist in his deter
mination to resign, a majority of the
Assembly will agree upon General
Chauncey as his successor, and that the
latter will be made President of the Re
public, with executive powers similar to
those proposed for Theirs.
At almeeting of the party of the Left,
held to-day, it was unanimously decided
to vote against all measures which may
have for their object the dissolution of
the present Assembly.

JUDGE NICHOLSON ON THE sITUA'
TON


Chief Justice Nicholson has written q
letter to NJ. c. Church, Esq, in which
he says:
| give it to you as my judgment that
the Southern Democrats in general deem
it their duty in the present state Of po-
litical affairs to await in silence the ac-
ton of their Northern friends, having
full confidence that they will adopt such
a platform and make such nominations
as will command the cordial support
and cooperation Of the Southern Dem
Ocracy.
Perhaps majority of Southern Dem
ocrats will agree with Judge Nicholson.
The battle of 1872 is to be fought in the
North. The Democrats of the South
will vote for any man whom the Northern
Democracy may put forward. But it is
different on the other side of the Ohio.
There are men for whom the South would
like to vote, but too unpopular in the
North to carry united Democracy. 1t
should be left to Northern Democrats to
select the man who can carry their sec
ton. 1t makes little difference with a
prisoner as to the particular person who
achieves his liberation; and under the
ban of a hostile administration, as the
South is, it makes little difference as to
the name of the person who overthrow
its jailers and scatters its guards.

they have received their fall and winter

which is assorted and ready for inspec-

fident that they can supply the trade
with everything in their line, and at

merchants. Orders are solicited-which
orders will be filed with care, and at the
regular market prices. Call and exam

ATHENS, August 27.-Additional par
ticulars Of the terrible explosion of the
powder mills at LAMA, near this city,
have been received. During a severe
rain storm the mills were struck by light
ming, causing frightful explosion, the
concussion of which was heard for many
miles in every direction. Over one
hundred persons employed at the mills
we're killed aud wounded, besides many
women and children living in the vi
cinity. The terrific conclusion so af-
frighted the inhabitants as to cause al
most complete abandonment of the
town. The people are fleeing for
safety in all directions. The destruc-
ton to property is immense, the loss
being estimated at 100000 sterling.

D.n,cAIIsM AND MILITARY RULE.

| The New Orleans Picayune, IN speuN
ing of the late use of United States sol
diers and Gatlin guns to control the
Radical Convention held in the Custom
house in that city, says:
For us in Louisiana the Rule Of INC
bayonet" does not seem so formidaDle
as strangers presume. Under any ra,
fional despot. having the slightest regard
for his historical name among rulers,
Louisiana would have been, and would
now be. incomparably better OIL than
under the corrupt, degraded, metriclous,
IGNORANT rapacious, remorseless ana
Wholly INSCRIPTIONS rule OF the alehs
who now Cypress, rob and insuI. US,
In military rule there must be somethi9g
of reason, of method, OF economy IN
the dynasty under which we groan ana
suffer there is none of these. A single
headed despot is cheaper than any such
hydra of faction.
To prove this the St. Louis Republican
saws martial law, the irresponsible rule
of a commander who knows no law but
what he makes, himself, and no process
Init the bayonet, has ever been held IN
this country to be the most execrabie
form of government; it is foe to pop
ular liberty, to all healthful sentiment
to progress, industry, learning, and IN
deed, to all the agencies of growing
civilization. 1t is the evil which Amer
leans have been taught to detest
most. Yet it seems there is one
thing more detestable and unendur-
able even than it, and that IS the
rule which a Radical Congress and
President have imposed upon the people
of the South. Martial law becomes be-
nign in comparison with it; bayonet
rule would be esteemed relief from it.
Bayonets would, indeed, crush out lib
erty, but here they would stop. Radi-
calism not only suppresses liberty, but
steals, plumbers, accept brides, and ex-
torts heavy taxes, impoverishes the peo-
pie, defiles official and social life, and
makes government another name for
barbaric riot and excess.

MADRID, August 27.-The fears of a
Carlist rising have abated, no demonstra-

The government, however, is on its guard,
and the troops ordered to San Sebastian
and Pampelana, where the people are
thought to be in sympathy with Don
Carlos, are to be retained at those points
for the present.
King Amadeus will leave Madrid on
Saturday next, September I'd, upon a
tour throughout Spain, visiting all the
places of Importance. A decree grant
ing general amnesty to the opponents Of
the monarchy will be issued on the day
of the Kings departure from the capital.

A Few Fact. About Tnquests.

There is a mania existing in the public
mind for inquests. In many instances
an inquest becomes an impertinent in
quiry into family matters. The law, in
regard to inquests, should be so amended
as to provide that the State, and party
charged with crime, should be repres-
ented by counsel, or that no question
but purely legal one could be asked
Our profession as city editor has caused
us to be present at several inqusitorial
investigations, called inquests, and it
produced in our mind the the greatest
feeling of establishment to hear ques-
tons asked that would not be permitted
by the most illiterate magistrate in the
city upon any given question of fact or
law This, however, arises from a good
natured disposition to discover some
thing. Every juror generally asks a few
questions; the Coroner asks quite a
number. We even have heard a well
known reporter cross-examine witness,
with a view to dig up an item. 1t is
laughably absurd to hear an igorant ju-
ror, into whose head an intelligent idea
could hardly be forced by surgical
operation, examine and endeavor to puz-
zle witness by series ofsilly questions
not beyond the comprehension Of a child.
These intelligent jurors try to follow the
searching style of examination pursued
by Gen. Sale, Col. Bullock and other
well-known criminal lawyers; but the
attempt is so ridiculous that it requires
the greatest control of muscle to repress
the uprising waves of laughter that the
absurd examination calls into existanee.
This is not, however, always the fact, for
often our best and most intelligent citi-
zens sit ON juries of inquest, and as a
the investigation is carried
on in a sensible, equitable and in many
instances strictly legal manner.

rHE LoNGFELLoW CALAMITY

The lovers Of fun are in sad humsr
over the defeat Of LongfelIow. Long
fellow won a brilliant race. The tele-
graph took Longfellow up and intro
duced him to the attention Of the doe
tors Of divinity as well as to that Of the
sportsman. The doctor Of divinity paid
for his paper and the paper paid for the
dispatches. Therefore, the doctor Of
divinity bought the news Of the
triumph Of Longfellow. Then came
Helmbold, named after the man Of
Buchu, and went for Longfellow. He
beat LongfeIlow. The papers pay fol
that news, and the doctor Of divinity re
funds them the money. Mind you, We
make no point on the doctors, but intro
