a telegram from Albany, New York,
on last Saturday, says ''An explosion
took place on the steamer Drew last
night while on the way from New York
to this city. Several cans of powder had
been placed in the state-room, and fuse
attached to each. The state-room was
shattered, and the wood work in tho
vicinity of the explosion was badly dam
aged, but fortunately no person was in
iured. The lights were all extinguished
and there was the widest excitement for
few moments. a man who gave his
name as Henry Evans was arrested on
board this morning on suspicion Of being
the person who caused the explosion" )"

eral hundred persons, simply for the fun
of an explosion, which would be as in
teresting and powerful as any OF their
discourses on the '.bloody shirt" horrors
of the South. The only trouble, we
presume, is that tho crimes committed in
their midst are frequently SO heinous that
it sould be impossible to do the subject

The Washington Post shows how much
it tknows of The agricultural problem In
the following paragraph, which IL offers
in the way of consolatory prophecy
It should reconcile the average reader
TO tho intense heat which we are now
ehdur:ng TO reflect that, without 1t there
cQnld he no corn. A hot Summer means
an abundant corn crop. and plenty of
that cereal will give the cocutry cheap
whisky. This should be satisfying to the
natural man.
Our contemporary should remember
that heat IS only one of Tho esssn-
tials for q good crop year, and that a
sufficient quantity of moisture is equally
necessary. Therefore, as there have
heAn gery long and widespread dronghta
throughout the corE-growing section, il
Is likely to result IN q short crop, and
the fact that heat Is one of the elements
Of production, does not make us rejoice
at it's presence when the other necessary
elements are absent. Orr contemporary
had as well go to a hungry man who has
plsnsy Of fire but no dough, and con-
gtate.ate hiut upon the fine bread he will
have. Heat Is ono of the necessary ele-
saents 10 making good bread, but it does

4 special dispatch TO tic New York
Sun from Washington, under date of
July Is, makes the following statement,
which interests the people Of South Car
olina, for we have no doubt that there
is some foundation for the information
given:
There is to be 4 sweeping change in
the Federal officers iii South Carolina
This change will soon be announced
Certain South Carolina Republicans have
been in this city within the last few days,
representing that South Carolina could
be carried for the Republicans in 1880 in
case the right kind OF Federal oficehold-
ers are placed in authority. Those now
in place are men who arc timid and luke
warm in their Republicanism, and have
not the requisite backbone to stand up
against the tissue ballet frauds and IL
timidntirg processes Of tho chivalry
What is needed, these Republicans say,
is class of men brave enough to enforce
the national election i'm the face of death,
intimidation and personal insult. 1t is
claimed That the present Federal Office
uOtucIb III buuL E9tutc uTC elLuCE OVcTuWcu
by the Democrats who are now in power,
or else have formed affiliations with them
that destroy their pnrty usefulness.
There is no doubt that the Republican
leaders have been seriously contemplate
ing movement for the resuscitation Of
the party in this State, but the above an
nouncemens is no doubt premature, for
If attempted now it will fail. Tho new
officers appointed to carry out the pro-
gramme would be rejected by the Demo
cratic Senate, which would restore tho
present incumbents. The administration
will most probably not begin this change
until after the adjournment of the next
session of Congress, when 1t could easily
and effectively be carried out, 30 far Us
the changes would go. This contingency
viii in uii probability be avoided by a
long session of Congress. This is our
fir.S consolation. The next is that, if it
should take place, we would sill be able
completely to demolish the remnant of
Republicanism in South Carolina.

The Southern vote in .he National 1sc.

The Southern vote in the National Re.
publican Nominating Convention is still
n source OF discord among the stalwarts.
This vote Is the balance OF power in the
party, and, if admitted into tho Conven-
tion, will control HE nomination. There
is a proposition to refuse admission to
the Southern delegations, and this pro.
grammc is favored by many prominent
men in the party. but is opposed by the
leaders wlio expect to utilize this vote to
assist in their nomination. blaine OBJ
taincd the bulk of the Southern vote in
1876, and calculates that he will be able
to hoi! 1t in $780, John Sherman thinks
that he will be able to carry TIC South
ern vote in the Convention Of 1880, by
giving his Treasury appointments to the
most disfeputable elements Of the South
ern Republican party. The friends of
Grant are of the opinion tha. he will he
able TO carry the Southern delegations,
because the negroes look upon him as the
embodiment of the party which set them
free. Thus the elements Of the national
Republican party are 10. altogether har-
monious, The party in favor Of admit
ting the Southern delegations, in our
opinion, will prove strongest, and after
the nomination is made the members Of
the party in the North and West will be
very much dsgustcd to sec that the nom
ination has been dictated by the repre-
| sentatives of the ignorant and corrupt
portion Of the party, md that too the
| portion which viii rot give single vote
in the electoral college. The Radicals
have been making great deal of noise
against the solid South, and well may
they give expression to their alarm. The
solid South presents the handwriting upon
the wall to Hcpublicansm. Itannounccs
the death of the party Of hate and usurp-
alton. Henccforth the Democracy will
be gamers by the solid South. 1t will
gain votes on the positive side of the
| problem, and on the negative side will
injuro the Republicans by producing dis
| affection within their ranks.

Colorado Cattle Dying of the Bloody
Murrain.

Murrain.
The ranchmen in southern Colorado
are highly excited oyer the heavy losses
to cattle in Douglas county from the
bloody murrain. The Nelcs, of that
county, gives the following partic ulars:
The first notice taken of the disease, to
speak of, was by a man who happened
to see several head of Messrs. Johnson
& Lincoln's cattle dead on the range.
The owners were notified of their loss.
They came over, and, upon finding their
cattle dying, supposed they wanted
water, and therefore removed them to
east Cherry creek. When the round
up boys got in the neighborhood they
found quite a number of dead cattle on
the range, and went to work to find out
the cause, il possible. After some in
spection they discovered that the cattle
died of bloody murrain. Then they
wanted to find out how it got into the
county, which was easily done. After
a close examination they traced its first
appearance to some Mexican cattle
which have been hauling lumber from
the varions saw mills to Greenland.
This done, they Immediately appointed
n committee consisting of the following
named gentlemen: G. e. Pratt, Austin
| Chambers and Mr.. Dane, for the pur-
pose of going out and meeting the
Mexican freighters, and %peaceably ask
ing them to remove their cattle from
Douglas county, telling them the rea-
son for 70 doing, that their cattle had
the bloody m%urrain, and that they had
brought the disease into the county,
and that there was no other way pos
| sible that the cattle could have gotten
it, as no cattle in the county or ad-
joining counties had the disease, and
that cattle were dying fast along the
line Of the road that they were freight
ing over. The three committeeman
did their duty, and deserve praise for
the peaceable ann in which they did
it. The Mexicans acknowledged that
they brought the disease with them.
They said the cattle died with the same
disease when they were on the road to
the county from Mexico, and that they
had been dying with it ever since they
had arrived.
The disease attacks a fat brute, and
in one day the owner would not know
he owned such a looking animal, and
in about three days they die. They
will not eat anything after taking the
disease, and seem to be in terrible mis-
cry, all the time being very restless,
They will lie down, and in a few min.
utes get up and walk q few PAGES and
lie down again. After death everything
in their stomach is thrown out through
their mouth and nose with IA large
amount Of blood. We are informed by
those who know, that their kidneys and
lights are one clot of blood after death.
We are informed by parties who have
been among cattle in Texas and Mexico
with this disease, that sulphur and salt
given often to cattle, will, in a great
measure, prevent them from having
this disease, and ever is very good to
use after an animal is down with it.
The Mexicans have been ordered to
quit the county with their teams, and
steps are being taken to prevent the
further spread Of the disease.
