The political excitement is running
high in this city and the surrounding
country at present, and serious trouble
is anticipated ut the near approaching
election. The political situation of
this country now is similar to what it
was In South Carolina In 1876. Tho
Republicans have had majority, and
have taken tho lead here for a number
OF years, and now declare that they
are going to have complete control of
the government. This assertion has
aroused all tho dormant patriotism of
the Democracy Of the country and
they have como in full force to the
front, and arc boldly determined and
publicly proclaiming that thoy will no
longer, like dumb boasts, wear tho
yoke of Republicanism, but will take
control and bc the governing party
peaceably, if they can; forcibly, II
they must. Gov. Hughes, tho Domo.
cratic nominee. and Judge Gregg, tho
Republican nominee for Governor,
and a number Of other leading politi-
clans, among them Senator Crockott.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Septomber A.
The shock last night ut 11:05 O'Clock
caused great alarm, OH account Of the
shattered condition oftho nerves Of the
people. Those persons who had ven-
tured back under their roofs hurried
into tho streets, which presented for q
fow moments as tragical an appearance
rs OH Tuesday night. But littlo actual
harm was done by the shock. Two
untonantcd houses are reported to have
fallen together with part of tho coping
of the Charleston Hotel. The vibra-
tion during the shock was not espe-
cially great, but tho moaning aud
bowling sound was sufficiently alarm
ing. Gradually the people had come
to the conviction that the shocks were
at an end, and tho disappointment was
agonizing.

The sensation to-day is tho falling Of
showers Of pebbles in the lower part
of tho city. Tho first fall was at 1880
o'clock this morning and the second at
about II o'clock. They appeared to
fall in slanting direction, from South
to North. There are morsels Of flint
among them and all are plainly AFRAID
ed and worn by the action of water.
Some few have sharp fractures, and
have evidently been recently broken.
The fact of the fall is vouched for by
several trustworthy persons. The

wishes to occupy Port Lazaroff rs an

When we look around ana about

bound to exclai!n that the farmer is
the most Independent o. them all
1t is also true that all the other pro-
fessions are dependent for their sue,
cess upon the farming element We
read daily of things which show how
utterly dependent we are upon the
tillers of the soil for our support. III
many instances failures occur which
are strictly honest, and whtn you
trace it to the. foundation you will
find the farmers crops have been
short, and the merchants have there
fore been unable 10 collect up hence

ces failure. This is only one in
stance to show our mutual dependen-
cy upon those who till the soil. The
