The Loss Of the Champion,

Charleston was greatly excited on
Saturday by the loss Of tho steamer
Champion, with thirty Of the crew
and passengers. Among the drowned
were Mrs. A. o. Andrews, IL charm
Ing lady, and her daughter, Miss
Nikell, of Charleston, Mr.. j. D.
Marvin, of Columbia, was also among
tho missing. As tho steamer and the
ship saw each other before colIidinm
there must have been some gross mis-
management. Captain Lockwood's
story is given in another column.
Tho steamer sank so rapidly that
boats could not be lowered, and the
ladies were all asleep. The Cham-
Pton was bhilt for Vanderbilt twenty
years ago, Of wood and iron, and had
mado two hundred and sixty-six trips
between New York and Charleston
since tic war. She was rated ut first
class. The day after tho CAanepiou
was lost, tho steamer Falcon, of the
Baltimore and Charleston line, also
collidcd with schooner and sank in
shallow water. No lives were lost.

Peabody scholarships, and to all ap-
plicants he sent a circular of instruc-
tons and directions. On tho 2Sth
ult. an examination was conducted by
himself and Mr.. j. S. Muller, of Co.
lumbia. Eight applicants presented
themselves. Questions were written,
and the applicants examined by num-
bcrs so that there could be no
favoritism. Two gentlemen, Mcssrs.
Gricr, of Anderson. and Evans, of
Chesterfield, both teachers, won the
first and tho second place, Walter Rob
crtson won the third and young Simms
the fourth place. Either during the
examination, or just after, dispatch
was received asking Superintendent
Thompson to send on only two at
once, and to wait further notice about
the others. Some days later DR.. Sears
authorized Superintendent Thompson
to send on the two others, making The
four appointments as had been atlvcr-
tiscd. About . week was consumed
in hearing lrOh DR.. Sears, and ut the
end of this time the young gentlemen
who had stood third and fourth at tho
competitive examination went on.
That is all Il ere is about it. Tley

ton us "Truth' suggested, and there
was no lavoritism US the Ruistc,' ap-

who can make as good showing in

him. We arc only surprised that the

especially as the charge of "a voritism

Our usually widc-awake contcmpo-
rary, the Register, was caught nap
ping on Tuesday, and hastily did an
injustice to the State Superintendent
OF Education, and to other parties
Interested in tho matter of tho Pea
body scholarships. 1t seems that
some captious critic was much cxcr-
ciscd by the appointment of Walter
Nobertsoh, of Winnsboro, and Clutf
Simms,of Richland, to the Peabody
Normal School, and asked tho Rcgis-
ter to shed little light on tho point
now these were appointed, while
others had to stand competitive cx-
animation. and asked, "\Ycre these
young gentlemen afraid to stand?"
Tho Register, without waiting to
consult Superintendent Thompson,
which could have been easily done,
vcnturcd reply, and while confess
ing Its inability to throw any light on
this matter, and expressing belief
that tho matter could be explained,
went Oh to say that tho people aro

examine tho stigma on tho left sido.
Tho blood flows from between tho
fifth and sixth ribs, and, as in the
caso of the other points, the skin M
pears unbroken. The quantity Of
blood that has flowed each week from
the stigmas has been estimated at ninc
ounces, or little moro than half O
pint. The blood Is Of normal con-
slstcncy, presenting, under tho micro
scope, an unusual appearance. Tho
stigmas are tho seat of acute min. md
1t Is said that her suffering is much
increased whenever a crime of more
than ordinary magnitude is committed
IN any part OF the church. According
to her own description she feels rs If
b"nd or rcd-hot iron were pressing
her head with enormous force and tho
shoulder is SO painful that She feels
unable to hold up her head. The pain
exhausts her strength and SO impars
her sight that she is unable to recog-
hlZe person ut distance of yard
or two. Her constitution is gradually
breaking up and II is thought that at
the present rate of her failing in health
her last hour must soon arrive. Her
mother has been dead for years and
l!o"lsc is supported by tho sewing and
other work Of her two sisters.
Although this case, like tho Lourdcs
miracle, has not yet received more
than local ecclesiastical confirmation
and is unstampcd by Rome us a true
miracle wrought by God for the cdili-
cation of tho people, it is nevertheless
treated with tho greatest reverence by
large numbers Of Catholics, who re-
gard 1t as a supernatural phenomenon
intended to increase their devotion.

Returning Boards at the North.

n simple announcement through the
medium of tho Associated Press II few
days ago grated harshly upon the pub
lie mind and recalled the dark days Of
1876. 1t merely said that the nomi-
nccs OH The Democratic State ticket
in New York had requested prominent
Democrats in Republican counties of
tho State TO watch tho official count,
and sec that a proper canvass of the
votes was made. Since then the re-
ports Of doctorcd returns and of scri-
GUS discrepancies between the first
announcement Of the vote and the
official report have come. In the
great State Of New York, where the
result has always been known in Il
day or two, almost Il week has passed
and yet no complete returns have been
made. Democratic strongholds have
all reported. Republican precincts
are hanging fire. AS cac', comes in
it reduces the Democratic majority by
few votes, until now the Rcpubli-
cans arc sIuiming the victory. Mayor
Cooper has reported TO the police COM
missioncn til It the reports Of thirty
precincts in the City Of New York
arc missing. Several more have been
handed in after the time, with their
seals broken, and having " suspicious
appearance. Already dclugc of
protests from defeated candidates arc
pouring in, number Of Republicans
having bccn declared elected by
strangely small majoritics, just enough
and none to spare. The managers Of
elections arc largely Republican. The
count compelled the commissioners Of
New York to select two Republican,
one Tammany and ono Robinson in
spcctor, and rs Kelly and Cornell
worked together they had things their
own way. for it was easy to postpone
tho court until the one Robinson man
was worn out. Again, in the Rcpub-
Hcan counties the Democrats had but
one manager, and he could be worried
out by vexing delay. Altogether it
IS very probable that the Republicans
will count in their candidates lust as
they counted in Hayes after (with the
exception ofZach Chandler) admitting
his defeat.
1t is bad enough to charge fraud in
the South, Carpct-baggcrs and seal
1awags introduced dcmoralizing in
flucnces in Southern elections. But
when n Northern State, the chief
State IN the Union, is subjected to the
same procedure, Republican institu-
tions arc in great danger. This is
another evidence that the Radicals arc
desperate and will never give up pow
or as long as they can steal orr fight
for it. Whether the honest masses at
the North will;suffcr this is u .uucs-
ton to be decided next year. Just
such rascality as this gives strength to
the cry for II dictator or for king.

The Chronicle turns It's rooster up

We labor under the impression that
Republicans did not say much about
bribery, last year, when they were de
feated by new party. Now, when the
opposition, fighting against great odds is
beaten. it seems rather weak and unmanly
for them to make such charges, and lay
the result entirely to corruption.
There is a little rivalry between
Stoneham and Oxford as to which should
have the banner. Stoneham vote fol
