For COmptroller-Gene William E.
Stcney.

Editor Of InfeNi9encer:: The time is not
distant when we will he called upon to
cast our votes for those who shall lead
the Democratic party for the next two
years. Among the State officers not the
least important, in our changed condition
Of affairs, is that of Comptroller. Will
you allow one, who, though not politi-
clan, is very desirous TO SEQ the business
affairs of the State properly conducted,
to suggest for consideration the namo of
w. Z. Stoney for Comptroller General.
Mr.. Stoney is n fino accountant, an in.
tolligent and educated gentleman, and
from his experience, during the past six
years, as chief clerk in the Comptroller's
Office, is perhaps more thoroughly ac-
quainted with the duties and details of
tho Office than any man in the State.
Your correspondent does not know that
Mr.. Stoney will be candidate. Like
most men of modesty and worth, he may
not be found pressing his claims. Let
the office seek him and the public will
soon learn to appreciate his merit and
commend the pains. taking care with
which he discharges the minutest detail
Of duty. GARv1N.

ST. PAUL, June PA special from
Spencer, Iowa, received late last night,
says: A Cyclone passed through this
vicinity last night. It struck this town,
and did much damage, unroo6ng build
ings, tearing up sidewalks and blowing
down residences, barns and business
blocks. In the southern part of Clay
County it blew down twenty houses and
killed five people, and injured about
twenty-five.

house were lifted from their foundations
and carried ten to twenty feet, and badly
wrecked The ppcnliar;tv of tho ,torn,
was that the wind entirely missed some
buildings in its path, while destroying
Others. The loss is too widespread to be
closely estimated. In Hospers alone it is
probably $4,000. Outside the village
about twenty-five houses and barns were
destroyed.

ports of the cyclone at mmettsburg,

LOVES LABOR LOST.
The Confederate Monument Destroyed by
Lightning.
Dispatch 10 News and Courier.

COLUMBIA, June %.
AbUrt O'Clock this afternoon during
heavy thunder storm the people of CO.
lumbia were startled by terrific crash
which followed 81 most vivid flash Of
lightning. They little suspected, how
ever, that the thunderbolt had fallen on
the Confederate monument in the State
House grounds, and that the crowning
glory of that magnificent work Of art,
the marble statue ofa Confederate soldier,
which surmounted it. had toppled from
its baso and been shattered into frag-
ments.
AS soon as the sad calamity was known,
and throughout tiie afternoon, hundreds
OF people of every age and rank visited
the State House grounds to view the
wreck, The statue is almost completely
demolished. Mr.. w. II. Anderson, an
old soldier of Jenkins brigade who
CHANGED to be looking toward the monu.
ment when the thunderbolt fell, says that
the whole monument was surrounded by
a perfect sheet of flame, and when the
crash came the head of the statue in
slaDtly fell forward to the ground.
When it had reached about half way to
the ground the body swayed for a moment
and then gracefully fell over to the right
side of the monument. Tho head was
cut completely off at the neck as if with
sword, and falling struck on the upper
base stone of the northern front of the
monument. In falling the body struck
the lower base on the eastern eide, driving
it out of place for an inch or two. The
cannon at the rear of the statue was bro
ken off The right leg was severed at
the skirt OF the coat. The hands, which
rested on the musket, s-were broken off
and the left leg was driven into the
ground six or eight inches. There is
nothing left on the top of the shaft but
fragment of the LEFT leg which is broken
off at the ankle and rests upon the bro
ken stock of the musket.
The statue was hurled to the ground
| with so great force that whore it struck
the stone base it was crushed into powder.
Many fragments were carried Off by Gu
riosity seekers. The head and hands
were deposited in the secretary of States
office for safe keeping and the rest of the
statue was placed under the guard of the
State House keeper during the night.

THE LEGIsLATURE.

The Legislature assembled in extra
session OH last Tuesday. The session
will be short, not lasting more than two
weeks. The determination is to attend
to the business for which the body was
primarily conveL.d and not to permit
any other business to prolong the session.
Only such business MS can be disposed of
during the 'imc the bill for re.districting
the State is being perfected will be con.
sidercd. There is now no probability
that the election law will be amended in
any important particular. The reports
from different portions of the State show
that the whites are registering well, and
that the opposition to the law which cx-
listed just after its passage is dying out.
The bill for distric,ing the State will
probably elicit some diversity of opinion.
1t seems that some arc apprehensivo that
unless the Districts are formed in con-
formity with the wishes Of q Republican
Congress, our members will be excluded
on the ground that in the formation of
the Districts the Constitution has beer
violated, inasmuch as the State had been
gerrymandered against the colored peo-
pie. This is not true, for in districting
the State no regard is had to color, but to
the political complexion Of the counties,
and this is done by all political parties
in every State in the Union. The bill
will make no reference to color or politi.
cs! preferences, and the sole influence to
control the action will be political pre-
pondorances without regard to color, and
the action of the Legislature just the
same as if there was not colored man
in the State. The Legislature should
not permit the threats as to what tyran-
nical and corrupt Congress may do to in
fluence them in the discharge of duty
which they owe to the State, and we do
not believe they will.

JUDGE KIACIoEy's LETTER TO GEN.
HAMPTON.


Judge L. j. Mackey, one of the lato
Circuit Judges, has published in the
Washington National Republican an open
letter to Hon. Wade Hampton, tho pri-
mary object of which seems to be to
induce Gen. Hampton to use his inhu-
cnce with the General Assembly now In
session to repeal the Registration law,
and if he should fail in doing SO, then
to become Gubernatorial candidate at
the ensuing election, with the assurance
that the negroes, with the Democrats
who would follow, would triumphantly
elect him. This is very cool, even for
the arrogant and time.serving Mackey.
He does not believe that the Radicals
can carry the State under the present
Registration law, which was designed to
secure the purity of the ballot. box, and
hence he wishes it repealed SO that at
the approaching election the Radicals
may assemble their ignorant and dusky
hordcs and vote them as 80 many sheep,
with the privilege Of repeating as often
as may be necessary TO elect their candi-
dates. This the law prevents, and hence
the Radicals and their twin. brothers,
the Greenbackers, are violently opposed
to it. 1t cannot be truthfnlly said that
the Registration 40: restricts the right
of any citizen it only directs the intel.
ligent exercise of Constitutional right,
and prevents tte corrupt leaders Of the
Radical parry from using the ignorant
negroes for the furtherance of their
selfish and corrupt purposes. This the
Radicals feel, and although the Constitu.
ton requires the Legislature to pass
Registration law, they oppose this Act,
and will oppose any other which prevents
them from massing the ignorant negroes
and voting them in herds at their dicta-
tion.
This letter is most remarkable for its
audacity. 1t asks Gen. Hampton to die
tate to his own party, and if it does not
obey himto divide it and unite with the
coiored people and maintain white au-
premacy in the State. This is net even
speciors ;sit is rs bareiaced effrontery as
it's destitute of truth. 1t assumes that
the whites arc incompetent to maintain
their supremacy, and that the colored
people are competent to maintain it for
them, and that they viii do it. Is
Mackey crazy +? The idea Of an. portion,
of the respectable whito people of South
Carolina relying upon the colored people
to Daintain3 white supremacy In the
State is too absurd for even the erratic

AN APPEAL.

In view Of the destruction of the Con.
fedcrate monument in Columbia by light
ming OH the 22d ins.., the Monumental
Association, composed Of women Of our
State, have published the following ap-
peal:
To the Women Of South Carolina The
Monument to the Confederate dead,
which bears upon its face the inscription,
Erected by the Women ofSouth Carroll
na," still stands, beautiful in its proper
tons but shorn Of its crowning glory the
embodiment in stone Of the Confederate
soldier, as We love to remember him. Per-
feet as work of art, the Monument was q
continual source Of pleasure to those who
could often behold it, and received the
universal admiration of visitors from
every quarter. On Thursday, June 22d,
during the severe storm, our marble hero
was wounded unto death" by that mys-
terious agent which has already borne to
riblo work So life-like was the figure,
so full Of vigor AS young man reoIcing
in his strength that we feel tho manner
of it's destruction to be appalling. 1t is
as if dear friend had ruthless1y been
stricken down. While we bow to tho
hand of Heaven which sent the stroke
! we are grateful that TIE victim was in
deed only stone, and that happily for us
We have confidence in the women Of the
State that they will rally to the call,
| "Come and help u.s." AS n society we
invite the cooperation Of all those who
were aiding us ut the close Of our labors,
and beg that the chairman Of the several
| county organizations will within the next
few days notify Mrs. John T.. Bacon, the
corresponding secretary Of the Associa-
ton, of their ability to undertake anew
tho work Of receiving contributions.
1t is estimated that ut least So, 900 will
be required to repair the damages, and
already five or ak hundred dollars have
been subscribed for tho work.

wedding chorus, the female chorus
and the finale. The chorus deserve
real praise for the unHagging spirit
which they displayed throughout,
aud their marked attention to the
conductors baton. Mr.. J. F. Brown
played the piano part in the con-
ccrted pieces. When we say that
Prof. Berger conducted we say
enough for our readers to know that
it was the best of its kind.
Now that we have praised faith
fully We also have to blame in two
things; first, the concert was rather
long, two hours and q quarter from
8 o'clock is trial of patience in an
early rising town like Honolulu ;
second, the reserving Of the seats
was defective, as we heard several
complaints of the same seats being
reserved for two and even three
different parties. The attendance
was fair, the parquette and dress
circle being filed to the extent OF
their capacity; but the gallery was
very empty. We were disappointed
in finding the financial success was
not so great as the artistic and
musical. We trust, however, the
Society will not be discouraged, but
will go on in its good work, and give
us q similar treat at some future
time.
