On Thursday night last, $. T. Sanlin,
who had been confined for some time in
the Jail at this place, made his escape by
cutting hole through the floor and let
ting himself down to room in the
second story. From this place, there
was nothing to cl>struct his escape.
Since our last issue. William Nj. Ro-
bins. O. B. Dorsey, John Conley and
William Hardwick, Sr., have been re-
leased-some of them on their own re-
cognizances and some of them uncondi-
tionally.
James A. Sanders. sr.. Eli c. Smith,
A. Hetherington and John Hancock
have been removed to Charleston to be
arraigned before the court. AS the COM
mandant OF this post was ordered to the
court o few days ago, we suppose the
trial OF thene parties will begin nt once.
On Saturday last, detachment Of
cavalry brought in James A. Sanders,
Jr., and J. O. Gwinn. They were both,
however, discharged on Sunday.

THE NoM1NAT1oNs no be MADE Ar CrN.

The NOMINATIONS TO BE MADE AT CIN.
CINNAT.-The names Of Lyman Trnm-
bull and Charles Francis Adams are
brought forward very prominently by
the press as suitable and likely to COM
pose the Cincinnati ticket. In some
cases, the one, and in about as many tho
other, is placed foremost. It seems to
be undisputed that either OF them would
make good Vioe-President or Presi-
dent; and many people think they could
be elected.
Judge Davis is as conspicuous as ever
among the candidates for the first place
on the ticket. The gravest question in
regard to him is that raised by the World,
whether his opinion in the Missouri case
will weaken him with the Catholics-a
very important element of political
strength.
The recent powerful letter of Gov.
Palmer, OF Illinois, in favor of the Gin.
cinnati movement, has added something
to the strength Of Mr.. Greeley. Some
how or other, people seem to associate
the two names together-Greeley for
President and Palmer for Vice President.
We suppose the New York delegation
will be unanimous for Mr. Greeley, and
the voice OF this great State will have q
good deal Of influence. Letters from all
parts of the country speak kindly, and
many OF them enthusiastically, of Mr..
Greeley. If he is nominated, the can
vass will be about the liveliest that will
have taken place in this country. His
nomination wonld kindle great deal of
enthusiasm in the ranks. He brings to
the new party powerful support, and
his name should be fairly considered in
selecting standard bearer.

failure of the Treasury to furnish money
to run the institution. This method is

The commission, consisting OF Super

supplies until June. when q three months
vacation will be taken to wait for neces-
sary funds.
It is observable here to-day that the
administration men are making great
efforts to raise the wind in some direc-
ton. There are several State Senator's
who have been waiting about here with
anxious faces for a week, and who, for
some reason, look more hopeful tonight.

FATAL Accidental negro by. the
name of Anderson Irby accidentally
shot himself. at his house, short dis:
tance from this place, on last Saturday
evening. Coroner Thomas Owens held
an inquest over the body, the jury being
composed of one white man and three
colored, whose verdict was in accordance
with the fact above stated, that it was
purely accidental. The impression seems
to prevail among the jury that the un-
fortunate negro was in the act of taking
up his gun, when, the lock being defec-
tive, the piece discharged. sending the
whole load into the head, causing a ter
rible wound, from which he died before
any one discovered or knew that he was
hurt. The wife Of the unfortunate vic
tim was absent when the accident occur

The STORM IN ORANdEDuRa. "A COR
respondent of the Times says: "Ihe
cloud WAS first seen and distant thunder
heard in the Northwest, little before
sunset; gradually approached until about
Z O'Clock, when the whole armament
seemed to be engaged, and became more
furious as the cloud advanced from the
direction of Riley'a Turnout, on the
South Carolina Railroad, blowing n flu
rious hurricane about half mile in
width, crossing the Belleville Road at or
near II. NJ. Moorer's and L. r. Beck
with's, uprooting and twisting off the
largest forest trees, unroo6ng houses,
scattering fences and smaller trees in
every direction, and passed off in the
direction of Thomas 81. Zimmerman's
place, on -Four Hole Swamp. There has
been no loss of life that we have heard
as yet. At Mr.. Moorer's, a negro house
was crushed by large falling tree, but
the inmates were out. Other buildings
were damaged. At L. r. Beckwith's. n
forage-house and stable was demolished
in the samo manner. The other build
ings were damaged. and the dwelling
narrowly escaped. Several large pines
and oaks were blown up by the roots,
and, in the direction of the building,
nearly the whole fencing of the latter
place was blown down or crushed by the
falling trees. The fury of the storm
lasted about ten minutes. Accompany
ing the wind WAS a heavy fall of hail and
little rain. In few minutes, there
was perfect calm, followed by beauti-
full moonlight night. Since writing the
above, we have heard of numerous
houses being prostrated to the earth (but
no loss of life) in the section North west
of the railroad"

ROYAL CArRICEs The King of Spain
is credited with remarking. in reference
to rumors of his abdication. that "not
otherwise than embalmed will I quit
Madrid" If King Amadeus taste runs
in that direction, we do not think he
will find any difficulty in having it
speedily grati6ed. He has only to go
forth unguarded into the principal street
of his capital any fine morning and be
will not proceed very far before his
friends will have it in their power to
crafty his morbid taste to its utmost.
The Spaniards are only too eager to rem
der him fit for the embalmer's art. The
wiser course for him to pursue would be
to pack up his valuables some dark night
and leave his quarrelsome and blood
thirsty subjects to themselves, and thus
embalm himself in the pages OF history
as one of the few monarchs who no
longer clung to power when it was glid-
ing from their grasp with pitiless and
inevitable certainty. If he persist in
remaining, his fate will surely be coun-
terpart of that of the luckless Maxi
milan in Mexico; and we cannot see
that such fate is worth courting for
the mere satisfaction of being stuffed
with spices after death. Obstinacy is
very well in its way; but anybody can be
obstinate; it is not everybody who can
be wise.

PUTTING IT M1D1Y.-The New York
Journal Of Commerce., commenting on
Grants gross and wilful misrepresenta-
tives OF the South, says:
An incorrect impression may be de-
rived from the Presidents Ku Klux
message, unless its text is carefully scru-
tinized. The state Of facts there por-
trayed is not the existing one. 1t is a
history OF events reported to have taken
place as far back as last October; and is
given at this late day in response to s
House call Of the 25th of January. We
do not understand why this reply was
delayed for nearly three months after it
could havo been made. Instead Of re-
ferripg to the Ku Klux operations, as in.
vestigated and set forth by Attorney
General Akerman, six months ago, in
the past tense exclusively, the President
goes on to say that "these combinations
embrace at least two-thirds of the active
white men of those Counties, (uine
Counties are named, and haze the sym
pathy and countenance OF the majority
of tho other third" that "they are orga-
nized and armod;" ''efect their objects
by personal violence, often extending to
MURDER" &C., DC. The upshot OF ail
this is that persons not informed to the
contrary, trusting to these statements,
would be led to suppose that the Ku
Klux atrocities abound in part of South
Carolina.
We do not charge the President with
designedly misrepresenting the facts, for
it often happens, in the haste of writing,
that the present tense gets itself substi.
tuted for the past. But unscrupulous
fn ~
points for the campaign, will refer to
his assertions as the highest and best
evidence that the Ku Klux horrors are
even now in full blast I, t the South, and
that she richly deserves the pains snd
penalties OF armed occupation and mar
tial law. Significantly, on the heels of
this message, comes the special order in
the Senate to-day, providing for CONT
nued suspension of ha6eds corpus from
the close of this session to the end of
the present Congress-covering, of
course, the whole of the Presidential
campaign. No better card for the Presi-
Dental party could be put out at this
time, when much fault has been found
by liberal Republicans with the denial OF
general amnesty to the Southern States
We appeal to the South Carolina and
othern Southern papers OF all parties in
refutation of the story that Ku Klux
disorders prevail in the Counties men
toned. or in any other Counties of
South Carolina. ccording to the testi
mony of the press. which, as whole,
gives the most complete picture of So
ciety ut the South, there has not been q
time since the war of such excellent or
der aud profound quiet as the present
What remained of dangerous combina-
tions in October, 1871, seems to have al
most died out, or, if it lives, makes no
sign that need cause serious alarm or
provoke renewed measures of severity
from the Government. We regret that
by slip of the pen-so We will charita-
bly, call the lapse-the President should
appear to give currency to reports not
correctly depicting the South Carolina of
April, 1872.

HE VILLAINS. Grant organs
have made some startling discoveries of
late. The characters Of the liberal Re-
publicans are being developed in new
and true light. The liberals, it has been
ascertained, are rebels and Ku Klux in
disguise. It has been ascertained be-
yond doubt that it was Greeley and
Carl Scburz who killed Abe Lincoln,
and that poor Booth, who suffered for
tho crime, was entirely innocent. It was
Trumbull and Schurz, too, who whipped
Beast Butler, at Big Bethel. not Ma

Johnston and Beauregard, sent tho whole
Yankee army and half of Congress, toge-
ther with battalion Of war-like women,

dispute the aphorism that murder will

The CHEROKEE TRAGEDY-FURTHER
PARTICULARS. The Fort Smith lark.
New Era gives some further account OF
the recent tragedy in the Indian Terri
tory. 1t seems the approach of the
United States Marshals for the arrest of
the murderer Proctor was well known at
the court house, and preparations for
resistance were made, the court having
adjourned on the morning of the tight
from the court house, which stands on
open ground, to o school-house half a
mile away, and where it is quite closely
built up. All the people there were
armed, including the jury. Even Proc.
tor. the murderer, had Spencer rifle
and two revolvers. In the fight which
ensued the desperadoes made the first
attack. Of the Marshals' party eight
were killed. including Deputy Marshal
Ovens, and two severely wounded. or
the assailants four were killed, including
deputy sheriff and juror, and six were
wounded. Besides these, two men were
found dead half mile from the court
house, and it is supposed they we're
killed in wantonness by the retreating
aggressors.
A letter from Deputy Marshal Robin
son, in chargeof the rescning party sent
from Fort Smith, says that he arrived at
the place of the fight on the 18th, and
found the whole country deserted. The
Proctor party left the previous day with
sixteen well-armed men, taking their
wounded with them to tho mountains,
and pursuit with handful of men was
out of tile question.
TORNADO AND Loss OF L1FE.-The 1c-
cent terrible and destructive tornado,
which visited the up-country with such
terrific fury, and of which we give an
account i'll our paper to-day, was not
confined alone to that portion of the
State, but continued its course to the
sea-board, carrying in its track great de-
struction of property, and, in some in
stances, of life. It passed through a
narrow belt of country in this District,
doing great damage to fencing, etc., but
when it reached the neighborhood of
Potato Ferry, its power increased, and
We are informed that it was fearfully ter
rifio at that point. tearing up trees by
the roots, twisting them off, and laying
waste generally. We regret to learn that
the dwelling of Mr.. Etheridge was blown
down, and one Of his children killed and
another wounded. The building was
completely demolished. In the same
neighborhood. we learn that man was
taken up by the wind and carried several
hundred yards, and was landed without
injury. The elements, like everything
eise seem to be working the destruction
