Whatever may be the nature OF this
terrible "quaking mountain" it is GER
tain that the effect upon the people has
been the most wonderful Oh record.
Your readevs might imagine tho alarm
and terror which would seize the
frightened hundreds upon chip about
to go down with the storm in mid
ocean, or the rushing from q falling
house, or from O building on flames,
but these alarms are but little moro than
what has been witnessed on Bald Noun.
tain and vicinity.
This mountain is within lew miles
OF the celebrated Chimney Rock, and
near it is the famous Bat Cave, the Blue
Rock, Sugar Loaf, Bellows Crack, the
Whirlpools, each Of which constitutes q
wonderful curiosity. "Harris' View" is
the highest point upon the Bald Moup-
tain, from which you have the most
magnificent mountain We've. Ono mile
below Harr View gushes iorin 7s7 ;
large spring called Laurel Spring. The
distance from the foot to the top Of
Bald Mountain is four miles. Quite q
number agree in the statement that the
recent snow would not stay upon a por-
ton Of the mountain.
A special New York HsrdM reporter,
writing from Old Fort, under date of
10Th, says:
The low. lnenacing. rumbIing sounds
continue in their full volume, daily aud
hourly, with an occasional sharp dis
charge like that of artillery.
Near Harris View there is to be seen,
it is said, a large rock, weighing over
thirty tons, which has been split in two
by volcanic action, and vapor is now
issuing from its sides. Another one has
been displaced and now lies some thirty
feet from its original position, near
which there is large tissurc in the
oarth. This is the particular point at
which the recent SHOWS have melted so
rapidly.

Those pleuUeS.

1t is sarcastic in the Union. Herald to
keep that platform standing at the head
OF it's columns, surmounted by the
knotty question, "Haye we kept these
solemn pledges?" It is enough to give
Radical the belly.ache every time he
looks upon it. That platform was only
made to be trampied upon and insulted.
It's trainers now have to construct an.
other. But as this exhausted oil the
materials out of which promises are
made, we are at loss to conceive OF
what it will be built. Even if repeated,
they will never again be credited by the
most credulous of their followers. all
that ie left for them to do is to initiate
the style Of the counter memorialists in
their manifesto, aud try to show that
some other set Of candidates, somo time
or other, made similar pledges, and did
not keep them. Then will they think
themselves justified. Then will they
rejoice in the asinino merit of being
like mule, "only moro so"

/. How aIo BECOME RICH Tito United
States Is the only country in the world
where huge fortunes arc amasscd in IL
few years. Some make their money
honestly, by engaging in legitimate
business, while others are not particu-
lar as to the means employed. Sheer
impudence and downright rascality
make fortunes for thousands. During
and since the war tho Government Of
the United Stntes has been defrauded
out of millions by fraudulent contracts.
The Western newspapers have been m
earthing somo remarkably bold and ex
tensive frauds in mail contracts. The
Saint Paul Dispatch prints some as
founding facts relative to the contracts
on the principal routes in the fur West,
held by ono G. G. Huntley. The Dis
patch claims that. at the outset, Huntley,
by the aid OF some Washington oonfed-
crates, hlched from the files some old
petitions from Montana, cut off the
names and attached them to petition
Tor postal route from Missoula, Mon
tana, to Walla Walla, W. T., $50 miles,
through wilderness without settlers,
and got the contract at $40, 0,744 per an
mum, which was subsequently increased
to S62, 1872 per annum. Hnntley imme-
diately eub-let the contract at $4,000,
and pocketed S5S. 900 year for six
years, the mail matter sent over the
route not exceeding eight letters and
papers each mail. He next obtained
route III, 13l, from Kelton, Utah, to the
Wal!as. ". T., 750 miles. daily trips, at
S224 600 per annum. His last opera
ton was getting route 42,l01, from
Eoise City TO Winncmucca, New, $50
miles, at $1,000, of which $50, 600 is
clear profit. In four years time Hunt
ley has pocketed 81, ,096.92 from these
routes, and now has othor routes under
way. In view OF such facts as these, it
is little less than appalling to consider
the fact that Mr.. Ramsay not long
since introduced bill to establish post
routes, and when interrogatcd as to the
necessity for them, confessed he didn't
know anything aboutit. Mr.. Huntley' g
operations may also help to account for
the fact that the expenses of the Postal
Department increased from Sl5. .OOO,-
900 in 1866. to S37,00O.0 900 in 1873.

Death of Miss Maggie Miller.

''None KIN ew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praiso."
1t is with the saddest feelings of sor.
row thnt we announce the death of Miss
MAGGIE KATE MILLER, daughter of Mai
D. Is. Miller. Death at all times is ter
rible: but when it takes from US the
young aud beautiful, the good and true,
We mourn with hearts of bitter anguish
In this instance, his scythe has cut down
an accomplished and charming young
lady. who was the idol of fond family
circle aud the pride of host OF friends.
A few short weeks since, she left our
city to visit friend, q college.mate, at
Salisbury. N. c., where she died, on the
evening of tho 21st instant, of conges-
ton Of the brain. The clements that
made up so sweet and charming crea-
ture, found homage in that distant city.
Her genial, sunny disposition attracted
q circle of admiring friends in that
place, and yesterday morning, at 3
o'clock, as the remains were being con.
veyed to the train, the Mayor ordered
the city to be illuminated and the bell to
toll. The feeling so touchingly dis.
piaycd there finds warm response in
the place that knew her best; and her
friends and companions here unite their
tribute OF sorrow with that of loving
relatives, and extend to them their sym. !.
pathy in this hour Of their distress.

To-day, the Massachusetts Legislatur

/
To-day, the MASSACHUSETTS, Legislature
will ballot for assuccessor to Senator
Sumner In the United States Senate.
The Senatorship is the absorbing topic
all over the State. Butler has thrown
himself into the contest with all the
ardor of selfish manager and manipu.
lator lie has remained in Boston ever
since the funeral OF Sumner, pulling
wires, and working for Dawes and
Butler, OF course. The chances arc
said to be in favor of Hoar or Dawes.
In case OF fusion between the Demo
cratic vote, amounting to eighty, md
the Liberal Republican, there may be
scme ehance for Mr. Curtis, the nominee
of the Democratic caucus. But it is
not probabls that any large portion oil
the regular party strength can be
drawn. Poor Massachusetts seems com.
mitted to the tender mercies of Butler,
whose genius in massipg corrupt in.
duences and leading the charges against
virtue and honesty, he seems deter
mined his native State shall feel and &C.
knowledge. She has some eminent men.
Charles Francis Adams would adorn
the Senate. Judge Curtis was for six
years on the Supreme Court bench of the
United States, and is both an able jurist
and finished scholar. But such are not
the sort OF men wicked Ben. loves.
Such are not the sort of men he can use
to promote his own advancement

Hon. John Il. CocArdn-DEAR SIR:
Your communication of the Goth inst,
referring to letter in the Charleston
Ne,Os and Courier, relating to the man.
ner in which the specific tax was levied,
is received.
You state that the letter does not give
You full justice, and request me to
state the facts more fully in relation to
the matter. I take great pleasure in
complying with your request.
You are the author or originator of
the bill to levy specific tax. You in
troduced the bill in the committee, and
when rejected by them, made minority
report, which Hon. r. M. Smith, OF
Spartanbnrg, also signed, aud by your
skill and ability, with the aid OF other
members, persuaded the Legislature to
adopt your report. It is due to W. r.
Jones to state, that he prepared the bill
for you in accordance with your wishes.
1 take great pleasure in also stating,
that you are the author of several other
bills Of great Importance. viz: The "bill
to regulate the number of employees of
the General Assembly," the ''bill to re-
gulate the disbursement of public
funds" the General Incorporation
Act" The Importance of these Acts
can scarcely be over-estimated. have
