CONCERNING the fact that colored man
claims 5000 damages for being elected from
an orchestra seat in a theater, the New York
Herald says: LAS this happened recently in
Kansas City, and not down South, twill elicit
no howl of indignation from the political dem
agogue." Perhaps not; but the apposteness
of the esteemed HerulGS remarks might be
improved if it should send out a special COM
missioner to discover in what State Kansas
City is located.

CAMPAIGNING AMONG MORMOES.
End of the Hottest Fight Salt Lake Liberals
Ever Witnessed.

Ever Witnessed.
SALT LAKE, February 9.-The campaign for
the city election here has been one of the
fercest ever conducted. 1t really began last
June and has been growing IN intensity ever
since, ending, on the part of the Liberals, with
an immense torchlght parade Friday night, in
which were 1000 men. Illuminations bunting
and irework: made the city blaze of light.
Last night the Mormo party had their clos
ing demonstrations, and though inferior
in numbers to the Liberals, it was fine sight.
The Mormons had nearly 5000 men in line.
There was much less illumination, but an
elegant display of fireworks. The campaign
has been great political educator, somethin :
needed here anG. never before had to an" ex-
tent. Thursday night great number OF
Liberals illuminated and decorated their resi-
dences and burned colored fires. The sky was
ablaze from the glara.
The election occurs tomorrow, and the
Liberals are confident that they will carry it by
nearly COO majority. The Mormons are also
confident of success, but make no estimates as
to majorities.

The Cost of Bread and Meat.

A good deal Of surprise has doubt
less been expressed by the merchants
in the interior when they read their
bills for recent purchases in this
market. So in fact did the mer
chants in nearly all OF the Southern
States, for the, same reason. The
raising of prices has been So gener
al and so sudden that it has caused
comment everywhere, ard it will nc
doubt end in the raising Of the price
of various articles in the retail stores
in Charleston. Only certain articles
will be affected by the present con
ditions.
The reason of all this was inquired
yesterday of representative mer
chant on Fast Bay. and he explained
the situation as follows: In the
North and Northwest there has been
a severe drought, which has curtailed
all the corn crops. The effect Of this
is felt in Charleston by general AL
vance in price on all corn goods, oats
and hog products. For instance;
grains have advanced 20 per cent,
corn has advanced from Is to 20 per
cent, oats from 10 to Is per cent,
-four S to 10 per cent. lard and meats
5 to 10 per cent. All OF these charg.
es have been forced by circumstan.
ces within the last ten days.
THE merchants have been trying
to hold on and give the buyers their
goods at the old prices, and l be.
Iievc this was done until the old
stock was exhausted. There was
no alternative but to raise the prices,
as we had TO buy at the advance no.
ted, and all the sales recently made
have been in proportion 10 tho PER
centagc have stated.
Il can't say whether there wi be
any drop from these figures for some
time. AS the full returns from the
crops are oil in aud tho raise has
heen predicted on these returns, and
as there will be no new crop until
next year. I am iuclined to believe
there sill he no relief from present
prices until next season, supposing
the crop to he then good.'
There are thous: of people in
South Carolina whom this will in no
wise affect. a great many farmers
are always prepared for such cmer-
gcncies. They raise their own hogs
and praduco Their own meat and
lard. They make plenty of oats aud
all grain crops. 1t is, however,
possible that they vii! experience some
little Inconvenience from the raise in
flour, but not otherwise, and cspec-
tally if the local corn or p rallies.
Should the corn crop be saved it vii!
not be tue farmers whns will suffer
from the Advances in the prices Of
bread and meat.-NeWs ass Con-
ripr.
