10 Chsuce In south Carolina.

Samuel Lee, of Sumter, 8. c., who
was q delegate.at-large from that STATE
to the Chicago Convention and who Is
a mem Der OF the committee appointed by
the Convention to inform the nominees
officially of their nomination, was In
New York yesterday on his way TO
Boston, where he will meet the rest OF
the committee and accompany them to
Augusta, Me. Mr.. Lee said to Tri-
bune reporter :" was an enthusiastic
Arthur man and voted for him four
tim o. Now am am Blaine man first,
last and all the time. l believe that
Mr.. Blaine was the choice Of the mass
of the Republican voters, and 1t DO
hooyes us who were not forjhim in the
beginning to make amends for 1t now
by extra hard work."
:" What are the prospects OF the Re
publicans carrying South Carolina ?"
Frankly, they have no chance
whatever OF carrying the State under
existing circumstances. The whole
election machinery Of the State Is In
the hands ofthe Democrats and while
we have > legitimate Republican ma
lority of $1,000 it goes for absolutely
nothing The Democrats, have discover
ed q much quieter and more effective
method of multiplying the Republican
majority than they formerly had. I'm.
der the old order of things they carried
the State by the most outrageous bull
doing. Now, under the election law Of
the State, a man has first to be on the
registration roll.
This roll was made up In 1880, and the
only additions that are made are OF
those young men coming OF age. If
you or anybody else from another State
were to 20 to South Carolina,you would
never be allowed to vote. This plain
violation of the Constitution has never
been tested, because we have never
been able to get case before the higher
'' They have been thrown out on other
grounds. Despite the registration we
have Republican majority. The
Democrats have met this difficulty by
the hallot.box puzzle. Under the State
Jaw there are eight ballot boxes labelled
with the officers which are to be voted
for If a ballot is placed in the wrong
box it is thrown ont. All the judges OF
election are Democrats.
"What are the chances of kepubli-
can success in other Southern States.'
Il think the chances are good in Flor.
ida, North Carolina and the two Vir-
ginias. In Florida there is strong
Republican element on account of the
influx of the Northern people. In
North Carolina there is that old Union
element which is extremely strong. In
Virginia the Malone movement has
split the Bourbon element and Blaine's
personal popularity will give him more
than fighting chance West Virginia.

G R A N D D EPOT,

AS our goods are nearly
all returnable, "a few excep-
tons OF things more or less
hurt by handling, like flow
ers and feathers, or where
goods are altered to other
shapes or sizes), there is an
easy way to find out whether
our goods are cheapest Or
not. Take things home and
compare with all others you
can get.
Everybody, for instance,
may advertise an English
Balbriggan Undershirt at so
cents, but each store may
have a different make. One
shirt may be twice as good as
another when quality is con-
sidered. There is nothing
like putting one article along
side of another to find out the
best and the cheapest. Our
Mems Underwear stock has
in it just now several lines
where sizes are broken and
lower prices are made to close
out.

THE DEADLY sCOURGE.

No attempt to Keep a Record of Death.
A correspondent Of the Louisville Courier
journal sends the following concerning the
disease prevalent in eastern Kentucky: In
Harlan county the disease appeared TO be the
worst. 1t is the most fatal end the most pre-
valent about the head waters Of the Poor fork
and Clover creek, about twenty miles from
Mt. Pleasant, where the people are dying rap
idly. In one neighborhood twelve died In
single day last week and there were scarcely
enough we'll persons to make them con1ns.
Along the banks of Browns creek the disease
RACES with frightful fatality. No effort
is being made to keep o record or the
deaths. In Harlan county the disease Is
spreading rapidly. No remedy is found
to cure those AFFLICTED. Those that recover
counties and the northeast portion OF Belle
the plague has broken out. The deaths reach
hundreds, but the number attacked cannot be
ascertained. At Mount Pleasant the disease
does not prevail. At the session of the circuit
court the commonwealth cases had to be con-
tinued on account OF the sickness of many
witnesses and defendants. No one seems to
know the exact nature of the disease. Most
call it "flux." 1t is probably an aggravated
form of that disease. 1t begins with severe
pains in the stomach. followed by facilitating
darrhpa and swelling throat, which con-
tinues three or four days If the patient does
agree the cause to be use of improper water.
No pure water is obtainable in the afflicted
regions. In Virginia few localities in the
southwestern part are afflicted. but in West
Virginia, Buchanan, Wise, Russell and Scott
counties are in an appalling condition.

Washington for consultation on January 10,
1856.
The house committee on rivers and harbors
will endeavor to have the bill providing for
an appropriation for the improvement Of
rivers and harbors ready to report to the
house on January 18th.
An attempt to suspend the rules and pass
the bankruptcy bill will be made in the early

mittee, appointed last session of congress, to

1t is the opinion of a number of the men,
bers of the house committee on naval affairs
that no action will be taken by the committee
on the recent recommendation of officials of
the navy department for appropriations for
new vessels for the navy. They also think
the recommendations will not be favorably
considered by the house committee on appro-
priations.
Representative Follett, of Ohio. has pre-
pared bill which he will introduce in the

vestigate the conduct of the United States
marshals and deputies in Ohio during the Oc-
tober election.
Changing the system Of compromising
United States court officials was discussed by
the house committee on expenditures for the
department of justice. The chairman said he
had been informed that the senators were OPP
posed to any bill proposing change which
was inserted in an appropriation BILL but they
would favor measure, il introduced in the
house, that had for its object only the chang
ing of the fee to salary system.
The cotton crop report for the Memphis dis
trict, which embraces west Tennessee, north
Arkansas north Mississippi and north Ala
bama, says: A review of the season will ena-
BILE an interested person to better comprehend
the true situation. As is well known, planting,
owing to unfavorable weather, was delayed
fully three weeks. This fact, coupled with the
drouth, which prevailed during the latter part
of July, extending through August, cut down
the prospective yield, which was so proms-
ing, and as a result it is now evident that the
the decrease in this district will be about IA
per cent. as compared with last year.

POLITICAL NOTES.

6 Ex-soldiers and sailors called on Vice Presi-
dentelect Hendricks at Indianapolis and
were given brief talk.
1t is suggested that congress adjourn in the
middle of the month to attend the New Or

the appropriation committees can complete
their labors.
Anumber of democratic leaders in the house
say no adjournment will be taken to give
members an opportunity to attend the worlds
fair at New Orleans. They propose to sd
journ only for the usual holiday recess.

Speaker Carlisle said to an Associated Press
reporter it was not probable there would be
any general tariff legislation this session.
There is not time he said, and the fact that
new administration is to come in, democrats
and republicans alike are disinclined to at
tempt anything like general revision Of the
tariff now. The discussion Of the Mexican
treaty will, he thinks, open the general tariff
question and lead to some talk upon it, but
nothing further.
In the annual convention of the womans
Suffrage association of Rhode Island Mrs.
President Chase delivered an address of well
come. Mrs. Lucy Stone held that it was only
just that women should have voice in the
government of the nation, of which they are
an important part, and in the progress, mate
rial and moral, of which they are interested
equally with the men. Susan B. Anthony
said the reason SO little had been done for wo-
man was because she was DISTINGUISHED.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECASTS.

Speculation as to Business First to be Tackled.
1t has been suggested by number of repre-
sentatives that congress will take recess
about the middle of the month to give an OPP
portunity for the members to attend the
opening of the New Orleans exposition, and
that during this proposed recess, the appre-
priation committee will consider the appre-
priation bills so as to have most of them ready
to report to the house upon the reasscmblirf
of congress after the holidays. They argu:
that the usual amount of work prior to ad-
journment for the holidays will have been ac
complished by the 14th inst. because of tn
unusually early assemblage of congress this
year. The Mexican pension bill which wa,
debated at length last session. is the first '.un
finished business" to be considered, and this
can be reached only by motion to discus
measures on the speakers table. Represe
tative Townsend, who had charge of tn.
leasure says he will ask to further consider
atien at the earlier practical moment. In til
senate bill for admission of Dakota and WASH
lngton territories will undoubtedly be pressed
by the senators who have them in charge.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.

after Failing In the attempt to KIN His
Sweetheart, a Young Man Kills Himself.
A shocking tragedy occurred in Magistrate
Cummings courtroom at Cincinnati when the
case of Louis Keller was called. Keller was
charged with having threatened to kill Miss
Kate INNER, whom he had been engaged to
marry until quarrel ended the cOurtshiE
and Keller commenced to make the threats
complained of. AS the young lady was about
to take the stand her eyes met those of heI
former lover, and the latter, with curse,
drew a revolver and rushed at her. The court
officials scattered in every direction,
with the exception of Justice Dunn.
ming, who sprang between the pair and called
OIL Keller to put up the weapon. The furious
man paused second, then pointing the pistol
to his own breast, fired. The bullet pene-
trated his heart. AS Kellers corpse dropped
to the floor his clothing was ignited from the
flash of the weapon and commenced burning
briskly, as the body lay there motioness, until
the blaze was eXtinguished with pitcher OF
water. Miss Inner exhibited no emotion
whatever when the pistol pointed at her. She
neither screamed nor tainted, and stood
silently watching the three or four men who
picked up the still smouldering remains OF
her lover. and laid them upon table She
then walked from the court room without
looking back.
