In SPAIN the heat has been so great
this summer that the thermometer
rose to 1876 degrees in the sun at Cadiz.
Tallow candles melted and become
useless at night, hundreds of people
dropped dead In the streets, and field
iaborers refused to work in the scorch-
ing sun. Owing to the recent disband-
ment OF 100000 soldiers, the labor
market was 30 glutted that many work
men could only obtain about fifteen
cents daily for twelve hours work.
The deadly Sunday here in Dallas
must yield the palm to l60 degrees.

A MADRAS railway train lately ran
into II herd Of elephants before its
speed could be stopped. The leader,
enraged by the whistle for brakes,
charged the engine with his enol NOUS
tusks, but was Knocked aside, mutt
lated and writhing. The train, after
much jolting, was stopped by the
bodies OF two other elephants. The
rest scampered away and the train
soon proceeded, bearing away some
splendid tusks.

Nipe and Mcdonald.

TO the Editors Of Independent:
Nipe and Macdonald voted at
GreensbIrg on election day land they
didn't vote to suit Robert or the
great Buzfuz. Robert was there as
meek as mouse, with a pencil in
hand taking down the names of col
ored voters. Durham wasn't there.
Suppose he stayed in Martinsburg
with the old gentleman. Roberts
list is therefore without StephenDun-
hams name. Now the iact is this is
yet free country. We don't care
how BuzfuZ and his son votes, but
they don't own but small slice of
the balance of crea ion, and they
may just rely on finding Nipe and
Macdonald at the polls voting as
they please, without asking permits
sion of the aforesaid father and son.
| have heard of people getting along
by minding their own business, and
the advice is offered to the would be
dictators OF suffrage. Placed among
a crowd of men they appear very
small anyway, and they can't fright

newspaper bosh. NJ.

THE SITUATION.

There is little or no change in the
political situation. The returning
boards in Florida and Louisiana are
still at work, and win return the
election of Hayes electors, which
would give him a majority of one in
the electoral college, for the contest
In South Carolina has been par, ly
settled in favor of the Republic
can ticket. 1t is barely possible,
however, that one of the returning
boards yet at work may conclude its
labor 80 rs to give Tilden the major
ity, but we do not regard 1t as pos
sible. Settling down then to the
conclusion that Hayes will be de-
dared elected, We regard it as the
Auty OF every American to abide the
result, cooling his temper with a
careful judgment Of tue necessities
e the hour and the demands of good
citizenship. There has been much
done in this heated campaign, and
there is still still much going on that
the good men Of both parties sincere
ly deprecate. The masses of the
people of this land are honest, and
abhor fraud in the conduct Of po-
aitical campaign, and yet there is no
doubt but that both parties have
been guilty of it. The American
people are also quick to resent
an injustice, and therefore the popu-
lar cutlery against the spectacle of
armed men controlling the organiza.
uon of the South Carolina legisla-
ture. 1t takes great deal of pa.
Hence to speak or write calmly of the
spectacle now going on in that State,
but sober thought and calm ntteran-
ces should not be wanting in us wher
we note the intelligent action of that
people themselves, who, believing
they are being deeply wronged, still
present an almost unexampled good
temper, and demand the admiration
ct all parties 10y their respect for the
peace and good name of this country.
We have nothing but condemna.
tion for The policy that uses force to
control the action Of State authOri.

therefore while condemning the ac-
iOn of the government in her raid
Upon the rights of the people of a
sovereign State, we counsel peace
and good temper. II we present a
sorry spectacle now before the ma.
Gons of the world, there is nothing
to be gained but much to be lost by
adding to it the madness of an armed
conflict. Let the people look calmly
upon the stirring events that are now
transpiring, and give new strength
to our institutions by adding wise
counsels to the turbulence that they
naturally engender. LET US HAVE
PEACE" Injustice is much easier
and more effectually rebuked with

The house burned ON Friday night
last, three miles from Columbia, 5
G., was the property of the sisters OF
General Wsde Hampton, but was oc-
cupied b, him, aud was known as

The Supreme Court OF Minnesota
has rendered a decision sustaining
the constitutionality of the inebri-
ate asylum law, by which tax Of
ten dollare per annum is levied upon
each saloon keeper and trafficer in
liquor for the maintenance of an
asylum for inebriates.
The events Of yesterday at Colum-
bia, 8. c., were In accordance with
the anticipated programme. The
federal military occupied the State
House, and the eight democratic
members elect from Laurens and
Edgefeld being refused admission to
the hall OF the House Of Representa-
tives, the entire democratic body OF
members Of the house, "a in number,
retired from the scene, protesting
against the proceedings. The re-
publicans organized with SO men,
bers, S. negroes ana 4 whites, which
they claimed to be a majority and
consequently quorum of the num-
Der Of members shown by the CALI
vassers to be elected, I16.-Their
sixIieth member had retired and
was soon after followed by another,
thus leaving only SO, which, not be-
ing a majority, even according to
theii own count, is not quorum.
The democrats hold that the full
House of Representatives, mem
bers--was elected, and that they are
now the properly constituted quo
rum.
The Florida canvassers move
slowly. The face OF the returns as
counted gave net majority of forty
two in that State to the Hayes cleo
tors, with one county not heard
from, which, it is stated, will not
vary the returns twenty votes either
way. But it seems that the original
and lawful returns from Baker
county had been suppressed and an
other set substituted. signed by the
shorthand ajudge, but not blythe clerk
The former gave majority Of nine
ty-6ve to the democrats, the latter /,
majority of fOrty-one to the republi.
cans. The democrats demanded the
reading of the original returns,
which was after considerable opposi-
ton done. This and sundry other
counties will be contested.
