RISING FROM HER AsHrn.

The people Of Memphis know how
TO sympathise with Charleston in hel

Memphis presented a cad spectacle
There was no silver lining to the
clouds. Every thing was "dark, dark
-irrevocsbly dark, total eclirse with
out hope Of day." All had to com.
mence business de moro. There were
no street psvements, no sewerage, and
the filthy streets seemed to be a hot
house for generating and warming
into life the disease which had deco
lated the city. While business men
were contemplating the ruin and all
were grieving over the dead, remorse-
less creditors Knocked at our calamity,
and to make the ruin complete, com.
menced cutting for the last pound Of
flesh. But ous of the desperation OF
despair was born new life aud new
energy. A few men resolved to con-
struct new city on the old ruins,

and faith that was sublime. They
builded better than they knew, for

THE WRECKED CITY.
NO PARTICULAR CHANGE In THE
SITUATION, BUT
The Work Of Repairing Steadily
Progressing-Gen. Crawford
to FairchiId.

CHARLEsToN, S, O., September 49,
There is no particular change in the
situation today, but the work of rough
repairing is going on in every part OF
the city. 1t is impossible to restore
buildings to their former condition,
out they are putting on a better ap.
pes a'nce, and the very hum of labor
tends to tighten the situation. There
is a scarcity Of bricklayers and plas-
terers, hut numerous applications for
work come in daily. The Relief Com
mittee today considered the condition
OF Summerville and the VILLAGES along
the line of the South Carolina railway
and of the town of Mount Pleasant.
opposite Charleston, and resolved
unanimously that the losses on these
places should be provided for in tbs
ratio Of their amount on the same bss's
as the losses in Charleston. The feel
Ing OF the committee is that, while
the most Of the funds were sent in the
name of Charleston, the intention of
the donors was to furnish relief to the
whole earthquake district in this vi.
cinlty. Most of the tents and shelters
provided for the refugees in the city
have arrived, AID the intention is to
have all cleared away by the end of
the month. In this the government
engineers have greatly assisted by
their reports on the condition OF
dwellings.

MISSOURI PACIFIC IN POLITICS.
WOrkmen Discharged for Their Ac-
lion I'm the Primaries.

ST. LOUIS, No., September 15.-A
special from Sedalis, Mo-, to the Re
publican, says: During the last few
weeks several of the employees OF the
Missouri Pacific Railroad Company
have been discharged for taking too
active interest in the reelection to
Congress Of Representative Heard, to
whom it Is understood the company is
violently opposed. On the day OF the
primaries at which majority Of Heard
delegates were elected, the heads OF
the different departments Of the MIS-
souri, Pacific shops handed to the en-
ployes More tickets and informed
them the company desired More to be
nominated. The men, not desiring to
lose their positions, voted their tickets
and were retained in the company's
employ. Master Mechanic McCa6e,
however, refused to do 80 and was
discharged, Much indignation over
the affair is felt by the citizens in this
city.
A reporter called on the private sec

Money is pouring into the city and
the people have the sympathy OF the
whole country. But as the
Shylocks commenced picking the
bones of Memphis in Novem.
Der, 1870, go has heartless ava
rice commenced stabbing Charles
ton in her ruins. 1t is said by the
Richmond STATE that the commercial
men OF rival cities are representing
that Charleston's commercial facilities
are hopelessly injured, and that it can
no longer hope to retain them, and
that here and there a drummer has
been attempting to run in on Charles
toms customers with the design Of di-
verting the trade in the midst OF the
excitement OF the earthquake. Enc
mics have asserted that the CONNER
cial facilities OF Charleston have been
30 injured that the business Of the
port cannot be expeditiously transact
ed. This report is malicious and I'M
called for. The well vouched for
statements from that city have from
the first set forth that the port
OF Charleston was absolutely unin'
jured. The vessels in the harbor
experienced no harm from the earth
quake. That water front is as it was
before. Indeed, it seemed like au in
terposition OF Providence that this
should have been so. The people are
working with untiring energy. They
have every incentive to labor, for it is
to the result OF their commercial push
that they must look for the rebuilding
OF their city. We note with pleasure
and pride that the commercial iacili-
ties OF the gallant old city are in ex-
celient trim, and we wish her mer-
chants great success in their new en-
terprises. The earthquake was dis
aster to Charleston such as no
city in the United States ever
sustained. 1t was unparalleled
in our history. Charleston needs
sympathy and aid, and now for any
one 10 attempt to rob her Of the one
sole property that was not taken from
her by the great calamity is so mean,
so ungenerous and selfish, so violative
Of commercial chivalry, and so exactly
the reverse OF what Charleston herself
would have done TO any other city in
her position, that mankind in general
must blush and turn away, loathing
the man who would thus stamp on a
fellow peer distress.

Letter From Gen, Crawford to
Commander FairchiId,

CHARLE.ToN, S. c., September To-
Gen. 5. w. Crawford, who came here
from Philadelphia on Sunday, last
night sent the following to Gen. Fair.
child, Commander in Chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic:
CHARLESTON, S. c., September IA, 1886.
Ex-Gov. Fairchild, Commander in Chief
Grand Army of the Republic:
DEAR SIR-Nothing could have bsen
more opportune than your visit to this
afflicted city. l have been here flr
severa days, and my object in coming
was to ascertain by personal inspec-
ton the immediate need OF the com
munity, and what should be the i'm
ms date remedy. The indomitable
spirit OF the people has already shown
Itself in the activity OF the relief COM
mitteee, and they have now reached a
point where the question Of food and
shelter is entirely under their own
control, but there is another condition
OF things pressing upon the commune
ty with such weight as to render i'm
mediate relief not only advisable, but
imperative. There is a large class OF
peopleswho, by the calamity, have
been rendered houseless and homeless
and with no prospe cts of any restor&-
ton without efficient help. They are
small property owners to whom their
little dwellings were their all, and
upon whom the weight of the shock
has fallen with its principal
force. Often encountered with mort
cages, these structures cannot be re-.
paired without help. My knowledge
OF and my association with these peo-
pie have given me abundant opportu-
nifty to learn these facts, and have
been greatly impressed with the inn
mediate necessity of relief fer them.
Funds must be raised by voluntary
contributions to asset this class, and
thus by relieving them a class above
them is free to restore their own in
jured pro Lerty, which they are able
and willing to do. The gre at organiza-
ton which you represent could do
nothing more in accordance with their
principles and practice than to assist
in this great Christ an effort. Very
truly yours, s. W. CRAWFORD,
Brevet Major General, United States Army.
P.S.-Let me say, too, that the con-
tributions made will be under the coz
troll OF the Mayor, atteeted by gentle
men whose names are guarantee OF
their appropriate issue. g, VIC.

SECESSION IN THE DOMINION

Our good neighbors OF the Domin-

ception that 1t is about time an end

of Macdonald conservatism. The
French are mostly on the same side in
Lower Canada, and now both are re.
ceiving accessions from Nova Scotia
and the disunionists of New Bruns-

These latter, which form the mari
