Charleston, s. c., was rudely and cruel
" awakened from sense of fancied secu.
rity and returning hope and confidence by
another earthquake shock Tuesday morn
ing, which was the most violent since the
commencement of her troubles. The shock
occurred about o'clock in the morning,
an hour at which very few people were
out Of their beds, and it was followed by
stampede into the streets by many frigh-
tened persons. The atmospheric cendi-
tiens preceding and during the shock are
worthy of note. The weather for the pre-
ceding two days and nights was hot and
sultry. The stiffness of the air was abso-
lutely death-like and the nights were very
oppressive. At II o'clock, P. NJ, Monday
night the temperature was still very high,
the atmosphere close and sultry. When
the city was awakened by the shock on
Tuesday morning the whole atmospheric
condition was changed. The temperature
had fallen at least Is degrees, the sky was
overcast with leaden-hued clouds, and
everything seemingly indicated the ap-
proach Of winter. Many persons are fear
ful of returning to their homes since the
last shock, and desolation and distress
still reigns in the stricken city.

The letter of acceptance of Lieutenant
Governor Chauncsy F. Black, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Pennsyl-
vania, is strikingly democratic and for
chile exposition of the legislative and ad-
ministrative needs of the Keystone State
at the present time. Pennsylvania is cor
poration-ridden, wealthy monopolists
iiourishing on every hand, while the arti-
san, the farmer and the laborer are pluck
ed and impoverished. The issues present.
ed by Mr.. Black srs three in number-the
passage by the Legislature of laws to en-
force articles is and II of the State con-
stitution, the purpose of which is to secure
to the people their equal and lawful rights
upon the railroads Of the State; the re-
form Of existing legislation with view to
the removal of invidious determinations
against laboring people; and, finally, the
regulation of the liquor traffic by such
laws % will protect the community from
its abuses, without confscating property
by sumptuary provisions that 3vex the
citizen and interfere with individual liber-
ty." On all these points Mr.. Black is per-
fectly clear and explicit, so that friends
and opponents can be perfectly aware what
they are voting for when they support mis-
candidature.-Sun. =

United States Treasurer Jordan says he

yer notes of the ten dollar denomination.
The sub b-treasufy at New York has been
selected as the central point from which to
issue these notes to the general public, and
persons desiring to-purchase them should
negotiate with the sub treasurer at that
point Mr.. Jordan says he is receiving
the newly printed notes in small quanti-
ties daily, but he proposes that none Of
them shall be put into circulation until he
has enough on hand to supply, as far as be
is able, the great demand for them in busi-
ness circles. His correspondence on this
subject indica'es that the demand for the
ones and twos is far greater han the sup
ply, and should he attempt to apportion
them out among the thousands of people
who have written to him for them he
cou'd not give more than single note to
each person. Many of the business men
throughout the country are under the i'm
preston that the distribution Of these
notes will be made in Washington. This
is mistake. Small quantities of silver
will be received in exchange for the silver
notes at the Treasury Department, but the
general distribution will he made from
The various sub-treasuries.

With the cry, "Long live the republic,
the army and Spain!" number of SOL
diers, led by Gen. Villacampa, attempted
il Madrid on Sunday the revolution of
which there have been so many predict
ions since the death of King Alfonso. It
appears, however, to have been ill-plan-
ned, and to have met with little response
from the people. After futile efforts to
gain possession of arsenals and points of
advantage within the city, the rebels fed
TO the country, some forty of their number
adopting the novel expedient of leaving
on . special train, of which they had OBJ

Some rascally speculator has started the
report that the London Times had figured
ont that India could ship only $4,000, GOO
bushels of wheat in the current crop year,
aesinst 56,000,00O last year. Since the
1alia harvest about 20,000,000 bushels
I've already been shipped, and it is esti-
llated in England that the exports will
olightly exceed those of last year, which
amounted to s9,OOo,OOO instead of 5e,oOo,-
900. The crop of 1886 is now COM
nefy estimated to be about the same in
amount as that, of last year.

The Republicans of the Fourth Mary

The Republicans of the Fourth Mary
land district have determined to name a
straight-out candidate of their own. This
is the Baltimore district misrepresented
by Mr.. John V. L. Findlay, who deserted
to the Republicans in the vote on the Nor
rison bill. On that account the Democrats
will have no more OF him, the Labor party
declares that it does not want him, and
the Republicans decline to reward him.
Mr.. Findlay will, it appears, have to flock
all by himself if be is to be candidate of
any party.

Religious excitement among the color

population was out Next Sunday an.

The Congressional Campaign.

nc CeSloAdl ho'S
now been made in neasly all the Maryland
districts and the campaign may be con-
sidered as fairly insugurated. What pro-
missed at one time to be dissensions OF
some importance among the Democrats in
some OF the districts have happily disap
peared and the party will go into the fight
with a we'll united front all along the lioe.
The aim of the Democratic campaign to
send solid delegation from the State to
the next Congress gives fair promise of
attainment. The only debatatle ground
in the State is the fifth and sixth districts,
and the fifth, since our present gallant
standard bearer showed the Democrats
how strong they are, is almost regarded as
sure Democratic territory. This, however,
is by no means a safe assumption, as the
fifth has the largest colored vote Of any
district in the State, and for that reason it
will require unceasing vigilance on the
part of the Democrats to keep her safely
moored in Democratic waters.
The present campaign in this district
opens auspicuously, Hon. Barnes Comp
ton having received his from
a united party as just recognition Of his
past valuable services and without the
slightest dissent or opposition. His lead
ership alons is worth many votes to the
party. He will make thorough canvass
of the district and his we'll known talent
and ability on the stump will discourage
the opposition from the start Still the
fifth district is debstable ground and the
Democrats must resolve to put their best
energies into the fght to hold their own
There is no doubt, however, that this will
be done and that the Hon. B ,rnes Comp
ton will succeed himself as the representa-
tive from this dis friet -
warm @ firh.. Hor l.sia o the Re
TpubrIcshs, nu CVnuvG.vor Baugtman
OF Frederick, has raominssed by tn,
Democrats as his opponent in the contes,
Mr.. McComas win go into the figh, with
the prestige Of a useful and vigilant mem
bership in the last Congress. bu, he did
not receive his denomination without op.
position aud there may he, as a conse
quence, some lukewarmness among bis
following. When Mr. McComas was nom
mated over Urner, four years ago, it was
by virtue of an application of The anti
third-tern rule. This rule was invoked
against Mr.. McComas himself in the recen,
primaries and considerable opposition to
his denomination was manifested in some
quarters. These facts will not help his
campaign along.
Col. Baua hman, on the other hand, is
supported by united party confident OF
success. The Hamilton wing in Washing
ton county, which has heretofore by its
luke warmness handicapped the party in
that district, are earnest supporters of Col
Baughman, and will give him their active
support. Col Bsughman is possessed of
personal popularity and has ability as .
stump speaker. He will make an active
canvass Of the district and wi be second
ed by the best men in the three counties
OF the district.
All the indications point to q solid
Democratic delegation in the next Con-
gress from Maryland.
