The Coming Storm.

Yesterday the Hon. Robert Moorman, OF
Nevberry, who is contesting MIR. Latimer's
seat in Congress. called at our office, and dur
ing bis stay he consented to talk little. anu
we took notes Of the same.
Taking his talk in connection with the cir
cular of the colored preachers, II seems that a
,,ood sized storm is forming in South Caroli
ma, which may possibly bring about poi'i-
cal revolution.
A free and open registration; united ana
determined negro vote, solidly arrayed
against the Reformers, may bring about
state of affairs OF which the constitution
bosses little dreamed. Mr.. Moorman says
that the negroes will vote solidly for conserve
tives.

Only the western wing Of the college build

as comfortable as ever. BY this evening
rooms will be provided for all the gils, and the
regular exercises will be resumed Monday

WhenIthe fire became known the citizens OF

and are now entertaining the young ladies
with the best the city affords.
We are proud of the behavior of our girls

Parents may be assured that their daughters
are receiving every needed attention. Every
thing will be done to make them com Portable

The circular issued by the. negro preachers
sounds the first note Of warning. The gov

man may be imperilled. 1t is, however, to be
hoped that the Reformers, in hatred OF their
white neighbors, have not gone too far. A
full and open registration is ordered. Except
In the practice of fraud on the negro we are
not in formed how he is to be prevented from
regaining the legal rights which he had here
tofore forfeited by his own neglect. The end
is not yet. We shall walt for developments,
