AN EDGEFIELD FIRE.
Loss 81 ,OOO-NO Insurance.

Just after daylight yesterday morning
the carriage house and stable on the
PREMISES of Joel W. Settle, who lives on
the corner of Spring and Stewart streets,
Edgefeld, was found to be on fire. The
flames were first discovered by Mrs. Settle,
who aroused the servants, when they sue
ceeded in removing COW and horse from
the burning building. Efforts were also
made TO save the carriage and
goat. at the time tied in the
stable, but the fire hadsgained such Roadway
that the heat was unindurable, and every en-
deavor proved futile. The building, which
vas entirely destroyed, also contained
quite quantity of corn and hay that it
was impossible 10 remove. The origin Of
the fire is not known. The loss will proba-
bly, reach 81, 1000, with no insurance. The
residence of Mr.. Settle would doubtless
have caught fire from the burning stable,
had 1t not been for the fact that the wind
was favorable, and the sparks were blown
10 an opposite direction.

appeared before them as the nominee Of
the late Democratic Convention to repre-
sent them in the Lower House of the next
Legislature. lie was no speaker or poll
tician; had no political aspirations, and had
nc.er sought an officer before. 1t was at
the solicitation of many citizens. and as
the choice of their representatives,
that he appeared before them rs
a candidate for the position he sought
at their hands. He had been born, reared
and instructed as a Wing, and be voted
that ticket in the last contest the party had
ever made. That contest brought to a
point all the questions then before the
public. He was opposed to secession from
the beginning. but when his peO-
Dle severed themselves from the
government and attached themselves
to the Southern Confederacy, he went with
them. When Lincoln called for troops to
force the States back into the Union, he
shouldered his gun, and to the last moment
defended the rights of his fellowmen. He
claimed no reward forthe part he tOOE inthat
contest. He did only what he conceived
to be his duty. lie did not seek this office
but he recognized the right of she people TO
call for the services Of any man. The
Speaker here devoted some time TO the dis
cussion of the Indebtedness of the State.
He was opposed to Republication in any
shape, form or fashion, and was in favor Of
paving the debt. In conclusion he
earnestly endorsed the Democratic
ConsenIion. and said ne believed its prin-
ciples were upright, honest and truly Dem

followed, and said he was glad Of an OPP
portunity TO address them upon some
of the issues that were before
the country. The ballot box had been
darkened, while gentlemanly citizens stay
ed away, painful spectators Of a scene that
enscted a farce of government. Maynard
said that if there were a fair expression Of
the vote of Tennessee. he would be tie next
Governor. He simply PICTURED HIM
self when he made the assertion. 1t
seemed as if the Radical party could only
exist in the atmosphere of corruption. The
aim of that party was for a monarchy. If
Grant were elected for third term that
would lie the last Of their liberties. Only
a short time ago the negro Shaw said that
Gov. Brown ought TO be hing. When it
came TO that, it was evident there was no
intimidation practiced upon the eolOred
PEOPLE. On the conclusion Of his remarks
