Grand in the Hour Of Defest.

Afler Col. Hooker received the
nomination in the District Conven.
tion last week, I've and Major Barks-
dale we're invited IN address the
Convention. and committee ap-
pointeI 10 escort them 10 the hall.
Col. Hooker came first and was
loudly applsuttd, making as he did
= most graceful and appropriate
speech: but a m less enthusiastic
greeting was awarded his unsuccess-
full competitor, the gallant and
chivalric Barksdale.
Msjor Barksdalc's appearance In
the hall was greeted with loud and
prolonged applause. lie thanked
the convention for the honor Of in
viting him to address it, and hoped
the time would never come when 1t
would not be q pleasure TO him TO
address q Democratic asscmblage.
Four years ago he was nominated
in the Seventh District for Congress
by reclamation. lie took the ban
ner inirustcd 10 Ills keeping and
bore it to a triumphant victory of
more than 5000 majority. Renomi-
mated in 1884, when at his post OF
duty 1900 miles away, by acclama
ton, he again achieved q victory
for his party of over 5000; and now
when near the completion OF his Sc
cond term, the sovereign tribunals
| of his party, which had called him
into the service, had decided he
should be Invested of its response
bi!ities. AS in the 6rst instance he
had pledged obedience TO the call oil
his party, so he now bowed def
ercntially TO It's decree and will
maintain its decision. He had the
satisfaction of knowing that when
first nominated lie had lel forlorn
hope against Republican majority
Of 5000. and he would now turn over
the district to his successful and
houored competitor with an assured
Democratic majority of 5000. 1t was
the remark of q great ruler, when di'
vested of his principalities anil title
that "All was lost save honor" HE
could say that whatever else wa:
lost he enjoyed the proud conscious
ness of duty faithfully performed as
God had given him The light to see
it. brother Democrats, the combat
among ourselves is ended. The con
test with the common foe will now
b, gin, and the spirit Of true knight
hood, illustrated by the immorta
Scott in the conduct Of the Christian
knight and heathern cavalier, who
when the combat on the sandy plain
had ended, clasped hands in token Of
friendship and pursued their way
together, true companions and loyaI
friends, with uplifted lance for a
common foe 50 our quarrel having
ended, let us close ranks and march
in solid column against whatever foe
may confront US.
His speech was loudly rheered by
both his own and Col. Hooker's fol-
lowers. Few men in the universe
could have made such speech un-
der such circumstances, and no one
ever appeared in the hour of defeat
TO grandcr advantage.

Fearful Accident.

By a telegram to the TINES, receiv-
ed Yesterday afternoon, we learn of a
terrible accident which occurred
about II o'clock in the morning. at
Greelevville, a station on tho Central
Railroad, about 20 miles below Jan
ming. The accident was occasioned
by boiler explosion in the saw mill
OF IN. S. C. Hogan, and resulted in
the killing of the following: S. c. Ho-
gan, S. J. Hutson, Willie Boyle
Smith,-Bradshaw, and darkey
whose name we cannot learn. Nrs-
Bradshaw and her little child were
injured, but not seriously.

Ludd Sanders, a prisoner, in jail
awaiting trial at the next Court for
getting property under false preten-
ces, from Mr.. S. Stern. escaped yes
terdav morning. With the iron han
die OF the bucket used for giving him
water, Sanders, during the night pre-
vious, ripped off the ceiling OF lis cell
and climbed into the jail loft. Using
the bucket handle again, he opened
the way into an unoccupied cell, which
was unlocked. From there he found
ready egress to the passage. When
Mr. Rowe, the jaiior, came up to feed
his prisoners, Sanders, who is a very
powerful man, rushed against Mr..
Rowe, throwing him violently to the
wall, and ran out through the open
door. Mr.. Rowe was considerably
hurt in his encounter with the wall
As Sanders passed, Mr.. Rowe, not
withstanding his hurt, grabbed him,
but his prisoner made good his es-
cape by leaving in Mr.. Rowes hands,
as testimony Of the encounter, his
waistcoat.
The above is q deplorable commen-
tary on the condition OF the county
jail. With only the handle OF a buck
ct, a prisoner was enabled to rip the
ceiling from two cells, thus allowing
him sure opportunity to escape.
The County Commissioners should IN
vestigate the condition OF the build
ing, and if they have funds available,
make the needy repairs.
