POLITICAL.
The West Virginia Republicans.

WHEELING, May 1.-THE West Viz
ginia Republican State convention met
at Clarksburg to-day. A special to the
InteCHgencer gives full proceedings,
among which are the appointments OF
the delegates to the Cincinnati cenven-
tiOn and the adoption Of q resolution
expressive Of preference OF Blaine for
Prt sident. A resolution of compliment
to Hon. B. II. BristOW was passed. Ex
Senator Wiley is understood to be q
BristOw man. The exact standing OF
the delegation is not known, but is no
doubt largely for Blaine.
The Missouri Greenbaek Party.
ST. LOUIS, May IA meeting of
several gentlemen from some half dozen
counties in this State wss held at Seda-
lis yesterday, and resulted in the or

Radical club.
NEW YORK, May 12.-The Union
Lesg que club held q special meeting last
evening for the election of new MEM
DeES' ALHOnB the names proposed was
that OF Secretary Bristow. There were
one hundred and eighteen votes cast for
Bristow and twelve blackbaIl5. Imme.
diately after the result was made known
the widest commotiOn ensued. Every
man jumped to his feet and exclaimed
against the vote, at the same time pro-
testing that he had no hand in the plot
to defeat the election Of the secretary Of
the treasury. The blackballing was not
the result Of any political opposition to
Bristow, but Wss caused by personal
feeling. Two members Of the club in
the sugar business felt aggrieved by
some decision of the secretary Of the
treasury, and they had worked to secure
enough blackballs for his rejection.
There was strong feeling of indigna.
ton in the club over the matter, and
measures will be taken to reverse this
action.

COLUMBIA, S. G..
ScDtcmbcr 18th 1876.

Et'ifor O,a"gcbw7 Mcms and Times:
DEAE sIR:-Thc following extract
was published in the Columbia
Rryrster Of 7th:
"Columbia is the poorest lighted
city in the world of nights. It would
be b. tier to have no lights ut all than
to have them scattered like they arc
in the Stale Capital. Agncw is not
much of an Improvement on Alcxan
der. "--f O"onWbMy Aces an.i Times.
Now Mr.. Editor you are correct rs
TO the city being badly lighted There
is only one lamp used at the expense
Of the city, and that is at The en-
trance to tic Guard House. The
scattered lamps are private property
lighted ut the expense Of private
citizens, and one of them ut my own
cost. Council and not myself are
responsible for the i'll lighted streets.
As to 4 comparison between the late
Mayor and myself it does not become
me to speak. | am satisfied to leave
it to the judgment Of the taxpayers
of the city when my term Of Office
expires, | am assured however that
in making the remarks which you
have done, you only repeat the op;n-
ions Of others, and cannot Of your
own knowledge judge III the promises.
Therefore l take no offence, but
would esteem il q favor to learn from
you the source from which you base
your opinions. l would be pleased
to have you call and see nc when
you next visit our city, when l will
present to you the other side of the
question.
Respectfully &c.
JOHN AGSEw,
Mayor.

Once for All.

The following bungling editorial
from Coy. Chambcr!ain's organ may
explain itself:
Many Of our Northern friends arc
criticisiDg Governor Chamberlain for
what they speak Of rs calling for
troops and "rushing to Washing
ton" Now, once for all, wc state, on
OH the authority Of Governor Cham
bcrlain, .frst, that Governor Chumb r.
lain has never "callcd for troops" in
the sense Of asking any active aid
Whatever from the United States.
What he has done hns been simply to
suggest 10 the authorities at Wash
lngton that troops should be stationed
Mt 7arsoas points in the State in order
TO give assurance to the voters that
they will be protected in case OF ncccs-
sity, and in order that such protection,
if needed, may be give promptly
and effectively. Governor Chamber
lain hns asked no aid from the federal
government in any other way. lie
has asked this simply rs The cxccu-
five Of The State and in the interest
Of peace and public order. Second,
Governor Chamberlain has never
visited Washington in relation to
these matters except rpm tie special
request n fhc onthornfee at Washington.
If nc had followed his own inclina-
titn lie would have avoided going to
Washington, in order to avoid The
clnmor Of rushing to Washington"

Governor Chamberlain has relied.
and still relies, first Of all, upon pre-
serving The public peace by tho orli-
nary means at lis disposal rs the civil
magistrate Of the State. 1Io has
made no call for federal intervention,
md he will not make such call until
cnsc shall arise which warrants it
under the constitution. When such Il
case does arise lie will not hesitate to

DAMAGES IN BALTIMORE.
The equinoctial gale appears to
have ccntercd Mt Baltimore, as the
accounts re ccivcd shows the city
suffered material damage. The rain
fell i'll torrents, rendering the streets
impossible, and flooding cellars and
low places. Along the water front,
the tide rose rai'dly, submc rging the
wharves aud injucing property to
considerable extent 1t was stated
that the tide had not risen SO high for
n period Of twenty years. Most of
the wharvcs were covered with
merchandise, which was washed of
or destroyed. The warehouses, fac
tories and business establishments in
this section, all suffered severely, the
cellars being flooded and the roofs
blown of. No damage was done on
.hc Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
though the trains were delayed. A
landslide occurred on the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad, noar Wash
ington, and some washing OF the
track. The Northern Central Road
was nlso flooded at several points.
No estimate can be made rs to the
amount Of the damage, as no reports
had been received from some sections
Of the city.
OTHER POINTS.
At Washington the rain fell hcavi-
ly end the wind blew a gale, but no
damage was done beyond flooding
cellars and blowing down trees,
awnings, etc. The wharvcs ut George.
town were submerged, and passengers
from the steamers were landed in
boats. At Frederick, Maryland,
Carroll Creek ovcrnowcd its banks in
various places. At violent. storm
prevailed at Alexandria, inundating
the lower portion Of the city and
damaging property. Several bridges
OH the Virginia Midland Railroad
were disturbed. at Norfolk, the
storm was terrific, the wind blowing
at the rate of scvcntytwo miles an
hour; many vessels dragged their
anchors and were otherwise injured;
the roof Of the Custom House was
blown of and private dwellings,
damaged. A heavy rain prevailed
at lsichmond, the wind blowing al
most y hurricane, prostrating trees,
tearing down awnings anI DANA aging

Last Hours of P.ga ini AMI
Moznri.

Pnganini was Il great. admircr OF
beethoven, aud not long before his
death he played one Of that masters
sublime qnartctS, his i;tvoriLc one,
with great energy In extreme
Weakness lie laborcd out to hear Il
requiem Of Chcrubini for he male
voices, and soon afterwards, with all
but his last energies, he insisted upon
being conveyed to one Of the cllur-
chcs in MAJ scillcs, where lie took
part in tic solemn mass of Beethoven
His voice WAS now nearly extinct,
and his sleep, that greatest Of con
solidations, was broken up by dread
ful fits Of coughing; his features be-
gan to sink, and he appeared little
more than n living skeleton, so cx.
ccssivc and fearful was his cmancia-
tion.
Still lie did not believe in the ap-
proach of death. Day by day he
grew moro restless, and talked Of
spending the winter at Nice, and he
did live on till spring. On the night
Of May 27, 1910; after protractcd
paroxysm, ho suddenly became
strangely tranquil. He sank into
quiet sleep, and awokc refreshed and
calm. The air was soft and warm.
Ele desired them to open the win
dows wide, draw the curtains Of his
bed, and allow the moon, just rising
in the uncloudcd glory Of M Italian
sky, TO flood his apartment
He sat gazing intentIy upon it for
some minutes, and them again sank
drowsily into fitful sleep. Rousing
himself once more, his fine ear caught
the sound Of the rustling leaves rs
they were gently stirred by some
breath Of air outside. In his dying
moments this sound Of the night
in tho trees seemed to affect him
strangely, and the summer nights on
the banks Of the Arno long ago may
have flashed back upon his mind, and
called up fading memories. But
now tho Arno was exchanged for the
wide Mediterranean sen, all ablnzc
with light.

Our Next Congressman.
Address, OF THE Hon. NJ. T.
O'CoNEER TO TIE PEOPLE OF TIL:
SECOND DISTRICT.


To the Eicrtors oI tic Second Congr*s-
ionai District:
In view Of the circumstances under
which my name has been put III
nomination rs the Democratic candi-
date for Congress from the Second
District, there is especial propricty in
my making public declaration Of
MY acceptance, and returning thanks
for the honor which has been done
me. If / had consulted my own
inclinations I should have rcfraincd
accepting the profercd distinction,
but regarding tho interests of the
party, the situation as represented to
me and the public considerations
which we're involved, there WAS no
choice for me rs 4 citizen, but to obey
the call rs that Of duty.
We have been launched into the
midst of the most momcntous struggle
that has ever aroused the energies or
excited the hopes Of a people. The
whole State is in blaze, and lfcr
people are better organized and more
united than they have been since
1865; end the honest and intelligent
Of all classes Of the people arc scrricd
i'll n solid array to rescue oIr govern
mcnt from the hands of the spoiIcr,
and 10 preserve the rcmant that is
left Of their rights and liberties. AL
good and true men who have any
permanent interest in our institutions,
realize that there can be no enduring
peace, no genuine prosperity under
Republican rule in this State. The
incubus must be thrown of; Il change
Of rulers must come first, before We
can hope for any Improvement in our
condition. For sixteen years this
party hs been on trial before the
American people, and eight years
before the people Of this State, and
during this time all OF its methods
have proved utter failures. lis opcr-
ations and results can be traced in our
ruined industries, our broken credit,
our bankrupt institutions, disorgani-
zcd labor, wasted estates, and The
people everywhere discontcntcd and
unhappy. by virtue Of these in
ilncnccs party lines have been gradu-
ally disappearing, minor questions Of
political doctrine have vanished, the
smaller sccts which from time to time
branched off from the main bodies
have been merged again into the two
great rival organizations. Every
