ssS- In view of the approaching elec-
ton it may not be amiss to suggest i
word of caution to voters respecting
candidates. s.t..
Let our younger voters especially u
the 2nd district remember, that 'here
may come time when they may them
sa,vos desire some office at the hands OF
the people; and it will not be OF any
advantage to them to have their record
show. that at this time, they sustained
tba nominee ola convention. which
when it ignored just rights, failed TO
secure the respect OF the whole people
The LAY for such nominations is We
believe dead in West Virginia, and the
people will certainly now submit to no
mans foisting himself upon their con-
yen,ions, or themselves, simply because
be desires office, They will have as
their representatives men whose record
is unimpeachable; especially, when
they can at the same time secure those
whose experience in public life is equal
to that of the nominee of the CONVEX
ton. while their Influence in Washing
ton is infinitely superior to his. We
hope a word to the wise will be suill-
Gent. Let all remember that the effect
of sustaining the nominee of the con
yention in toto, which is now by no
means safe thing for them to do.

The Storm IN the South.
GREAT GALE IL SOUTH CAROLINA,

GREAT GALE ~ SOUTH CAROLINA.
CHARLESTON, Sept 2S.-The most
fearful gale known here since 1854
occurred to-day, beginning about day
LIGHT with strong southeast wind, and
increasing in violence until . o'clock
when it had become a hurricane. For
an hour thereafter the gale was the
most severe known here. The tide was
forced up to an unprecedented height,
inundating the entire river front OF the
city, damaging wharves and in some in-
stances sweeping away the pier heads.
The long stone sea-wall known as the
Battery, famous promenade resort,
was laid in ruins, and the public bath
ING house was demolished. The ship
ping generally escaped serious damage.
Some small craft were wrecked. but
large vessels were only chated. Through
out the city the effects of the gale are
everywhere visible. Fences and out
buildings were Frustrated, branches
torn from the trees, and during tire
height of the tempest the air was filled
with States and tin stripped from the
roofs, making streets impossible. The
massive brick walls Of the new theatre
which had just been made ready for
roofing, and which from its position in
the burnt district was exposed to the
full force of the storm, were leveied
with tire ground. About noon the
wind shifted to the west, moderating
the violence OF the sea, and it is hoped
that the worst is over. Two houses
are reported swept away OH Sullivan S
Island and one life lost. The inmates
of the bathing house were rescued with
the utmost difficulty. Probably $3.50
900 will not repair the damages caused
