or no influence on public affairs in that State.
So far as the material and financial interests
are concerned the Democratic party brings
more:wisdom, more experience and more
representative character to the discharge OF
the duties of. the administration, and l can
readily Believe that under these conditions
of General Hampton's administration the
people will be satisfied. He is only doing
what could and should have done with the
same influences around me, and therefore, /
shall heartily rejoice in his success: 1t is
but natural for me to wish that along with
material prosperity might have come what
I regard as political prosperity, and by that
I mean the perpetuation Of the Republican
party, which to me means equal rights and
the protection of the humblest citizen in the
enjoyment of the free and untrammelled
exercise of his political principles.
IT hope you will allow me to say further,
without suggestion from yourself, that l
hold to my views of events in the past as
we'll as the present, with entire Difference to

have the profoundest respect and admiration
for the conduct and character in the main
of the masses Of the Republican party OF
South Carolina. The difficulties IN the way
of their success have been inherent. My
connection with the colored people has IN
spired me not only with kind, but with re-
-spectful feelings, and I hope there Isl happy
and asafe future before them. For the

for the most part, in obedience to what they
have regarded as the best interests of the
State. have: no pride of feeling that will
ever prevent me from rejoicing in any degree
of peace, prosperity and harmony which
may be wrought out under Democratic rule
in South Carolina.

the gallant man who has led his people in

possessing the tenderest sympathies, is the
friend of every man, and giant intellect, is

( On Wednesday the 2srd inst, the valua-
BILE property known as the. Pendletons Fac
tory was sold at public outcry in Anderson;
The property was divided into three tracts.
The one upon which the factory buildings
stand was bid off by Col. j. N. Brown for
the Bondholders at ten thousand dollars !;
the Keasler Mill Tract was bid off at 81, 800
by. Capt. John McGrath, and the bottom

LIFE SAVING APPARATUS.

NEW INVENTION FOR THE pURPosE-sAFETY
DURING GREAT FIREs.
In view Of tho recent calamitics Brooklyn ST.
LOUIS when SO many lost their lives in the disastrous
Hros which numbered their victims by scores and even
hundreds the subject OF saving lie has at tho present
time peculiar aud deep interest," Tho terrible results
Of those catasrophcs proclaim In language the most
powerful tho nestmabe value of any invention which
snal render such narrowing sccnos avoidabo In the
future.
The invention OF Mr.. John s. Cochran, OF No. 1876
south Filth avenue, New York. consists OF an endless
chain being passed over sprockot wheel which gives
rotation centrifugal friction blocks, placed within
drum thirteen inches in diameter, the pressure Of
which upon the inner surface OF the drum rctards the
motion OF the chain and keeps It within the limit OF
safety whcn persons are descending from elevation
The inventor has by this contrvance overcome the
liability OF the drum and It's adluncts to t tho most
formidable difficulty whicn he had 10 encounter
Each OF these centrifugal friction blocks within tho
drum is provided at ono end with spur fitting into
the recess end OF the adjacent projection. BY
this means the outer surface OF each friction block
comes In with the nncr circumference of the
drum when tho block Is thrown ceItrlfugally by the
rapid rotation OF tho sprocket wheel. The drum

with greater less velocity. FREQ descent Is thus
allowed up 10 certain point, at which point the fric
ton blocks are thrown outward by centrifugal force
