SOUTH OARoLINA Affairs.

A peculiar condition of atflils exists
in South Carolina and it will be- very
fortunate If the political crisis is
bridged over without il breach of rht'
peace. The Supreme Court fined TIN.
members of the State Canvassing
Board $500 each and committed
them to prison for contempt BECAUSE
they compiled the returns of the elec-
/ ton and issued certificates To State
aud county officers pending the con.
sideration of the powers of the board
by the court. The prisoners applied
to Judge Bond of the United State $
| Circuit Court for writs of haheds cor
pus, and obtained release from con
tinement, bur will be attended by
deputy marsllals until Judgment is
given upon the application for writs.
According tn the certificates issued
| by the Board ut Canvassers, the Re-
publicans have small majority of
the members elect to the House of
Representatives but the Supreme
Cout has also furnished certificates.
including the Democratic candidates
from Edgetield and Laurens cnnnties,
| with whom the Democrats would
have majority in the new House.
The Republicans met at the State
House on Monday and organized,
electing Gen. Mackey Speaker. The
Democrats marched to the hall in pro-
cessiun, headed by the Elg-tieid and
Laurens delegations, but these being
refused admission, the entire body
Withdrew To Carolina Hall and there
perfected an organization with Gen.
Wallace as Speaker. The ,ivil Houses
| continued To meet at separate places
until Thursday, when the Democrats
! obtained admission to the regular
hall, in which both bodies have since
been holding perpetual session, en-
deavoring to gain the advantage or
effect a compromise.
The Senate, which is Republican,,
recognizes the Republican House or.
ganization, and the election returns
are IN possession of the Speaker of
the latter body. The United States
troDps are passive spectators of the
nudtile, having orders to slppnrt the
anthority of Governor Chamberlain
aud maintain the peaee,s The dead
lock will probably be broken within
tile next few days, aud the reSstlt will
be awaited with interest all over the
country.

The United States war frigate
Franklin arrived ut New York Nnyem-
Der % with Wm. NJ. Tweed. The tx
Boss was delivered into the custody
OF the Sheriff and forthwith lodged in
his old quarters in Ludlow street Jail.
The arrival of the great criminal
caused sensation, and large crowds
congregated to get u view of the old
man." but seie disappointed, as the
Sheriff landed his prisoner at All un-
expected point and hurried him to
Jail by way 0f the less freauentetl
streets. Tweed is morose and dis
heartrned, has lost much of his rotuH
dity of pauuch aud fulhess of face.
and has grown a long white beard
which makes him appear much older
than he really IL. He seems resigned
to his fate. and will probably make
no further attempt to escape the
clutches of the law.

The Natchitnches Vindicator thus
Rttests the truth of the Republican
assertion that the placing of calnred
meu's names Oh Democratic club lists
was by no means evidence of their be-
lief IN Democracy or an Intention To
vote for it's candidates:
Let il DO remembered that five hundred
Negro voters went back upon their promise
on election day. Not one-third that belonged
to our clubs, voted the ticket, which alone
defeated US.
The coloied man is naturally and
properly Republican aud it is only
when Influences stronger than mere
moral suasion are Brought tn bear
upon him that he will prove reereant
to the party which, made hlm what
he is and gave him all the privileges
of manhood which he now enjoys.
We are glad to have the testimony of
red hot Democratic paper like the
indicator in support of this PROPOSE
tion.

Ii is with more than usual regret
that we chronicle the death of Mr Lu-
Glen Ganbre, who has for the past six
Years occupied the position of Sheriff
of the parish of st. John the Baptist.
He was universally respected and be-
loved among his acquaintauces and
friends, possessing preeninenfly those
qualities which form the character of
kind, humane and high-toned gen
tleunlli, the soul of truth and honor
in all things, great aud small. As an
executive officer he was scrapul0nsly
exact and efficient in the discharge nt
duty, having but few equals in this
respect. He leaves wife and family,
hut thanks to his thoughtful prosi-
dence in outstanding his means aud
carrying $4,000 insurance on his life,
they are left in comfortable worldly
circumstances. Lucien Cambre leaves
behiud him the record of well spent
life. Peace to HE ashes.

The Coming Tidal Wave.

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser I;
SIR Have the people of the Hawaiian Kingdom
forgotten already the loss of life and destruction Of
property that was caused by the last tidal wave some
years ago on the southeast coast Of Hawaii | should
hope not; but as l feel satisfied from past experience
and present firm convictions that such another cal
amitous visitation will sweep over and very likely
devastate our coast towns and villages, not only on
this island of Oahu, but most probably all the other
islands Of this group, some time during the present
year or in 1877. it behooves me to caution as well as
to offer some advice to the public in general to pre-
pare against the day Of such calamity, and with true
christian and philanthropic feelings to impress on
all the necessity existing that they should seek
higher ground to which their movable property
could be removed, so as to avoid the severe losses
which must inevitably be sustained by its total des-
truction. This ! would advise most strongly to those
especially located in close proximity to the sea shore.
To others whose estates lie beyond or rather out Of
reach of this dangerous visitation, my caution or ad-
vice will be unnecessary.
1t may be asked why | give this advice or trouble
myself about the matter at all? and my reply is
that 1 do not deem it necessary just at present to
give my reasons publicity. / am however willing to
stake my reputation on the assertion | have made
that a tidal wave will visit these islands either in
1875 or 1877.
am not an alarmist, nor do / wish to excite fear
in the minds of any individual or individuals I'M
necessarily but have We not evidence of the precur-
sors Of this tidal visitation by shocks Of earthquake
and consequent probability of volcanic eruptions ?
which, on other portions Of the globe are considered
some fore-runners Of this terrible scourge; and if We
only look back to the terrible havoc and devastation
made by one on the coasts of China and Japan in
years gone by, when entire towns were swept away
and large ships were carried miles inland and dashed
to pieces, we ought surely to take such steps as will

Debate on the Treaty,

Through the kindness Of a friend at Washington,
We have received copies Of the Congregational Rec
erd, published daily during the session, in which
are printed all the proceedings and debates in both
Houses. We present herewith extracts from speeches,
pro and con, on the Hawaiian Treaty, from the Sd
to the 9th Of March.
"The treaty also provides for the admission Of
certain articles, and, notably, unrefned sugar, into
the United States free Of duties. 1t cannot be ex-
pected that commercial privileges such as we shall
obtain if the treaty should be fully confirmed can be
accorded TO US without some equivalent. At the
same tine it is clear to me that the advantages
given to the people Of the Hawaiian Islands by the
proposed arrangement are also advantages to our

point out a few items Of merchandise which ! am

and upon which large profits can be realized, viz:
HideS-Tbe prices range from IS TO so rupees

hides at forty rupees. and the vendors allow 5 per
cent. discount. which covers the cost Of carriage.
and serewing into bales ready for shipment
Lac dyeS-The price | paid on the last purchase
of 8 tons was - rupees per maund of 50 lbs.
These dyes were tested by Mr.. Waldri. the Analyti-
cal Chemist to the Board Of Trade in Calcutta. who
gives samples Of the dyes with a certificate as 10
quality. The fee for testing each description is 10
rupees. which is paid by the vendor.
Indigo. Cochineal. Jute. Jute cuttings, Clutch.
Rattans. Assam Teas, Gunny bags, Essential
Oils, &c, &c. are all procurable. but the prices
huctuate. The best time however for purchasing
any Of the above is at the close II the rains, which
is about the latter end Of September or the begin
ming OF October and this is n month before the
regular shipping season commences. The markets
are then abundantly stocked and the demand small.
