Not satified with these nefarious and diabolical practices they called to their aid the great and tremondous force of the Registration and election laws of the State—twins of crime and siu. Time and again colored Republicans went to the registration officers and ap- plied for registration certificates so as to qualify themselves for their su rage rights. But the registration officers resorted to every conceivable scheme and subterfuge to prevent these loyal and patient people from thus prepar- ing for the suffrage laws of the State. Hundreds of colored men haye walked for miles through rain and storm and mud to secure their certifi- cates only to be denied and almost every instance these men have de- clared that they would have voted for the Hon. Robert Moorman if they had been given the certificates to which they were entitled by law. Mr. Moorman denounced these out- rageous practices of the Democratic party in burning words at every cross- road and from every hamlet in the dis- trict. Ofcourse, the Democratic party ostracised and proscribed him and his family, thus trying to force him to sur- render his allegiance tothe Republican party but they failed most signally in their efforts to make him abandon his political faith. Mr. Moorman is a man of most un- doubted courage and most unflinching= devotion to any cause which he es- pouses. Wore than once during the campaign he gave exhibition of that rare pluck and bravery characteristics of his family and for which he is so dearly beloved by his large and en- thusiastic constituency. | Because his wife knew his deter-! mination and his disposition to take a stand on all public questions and abide it regardless of consequences, she was kept in a state of constant fear and anxiety, for it was well-known that Democratic bull-dozing, brow-beating, intimidation, ostracism, proscription, and shot guns were the weapons and arguments that he would meet, and he met them like the true Repubiican and brave man that he is.

The appearance of Gleason and Bailey was the occasion | of wild applause. .Mr. Gleason made a speech full of vim and enthusiasm. The republicans of the 8, 9, Districts met at the Thursday night. | Mr. W. H. Collins was elected tem- porary chairman, and Wiy H. Jordon and M. White, secretaries. The 8th District, under the leader- ship of Mr. Keith Sutherland and James Wood brought 300 men, the g, 100 under the leadership of Messrs. Hall, Gray, and Chase, and 13,200 under the leadership of W. H. Gollins, Hatton and Boston. A permanent organization was ef- fected by the election of W. Calvin Chase, President. Hon. Joseph Edward Hayden, First Vice-President, George H. Boston, Second Vice-President, and George Watson, Third Vice-President. Mr. Hayden, who spoke and said many good things about Mr. Gleason and ga\e somegood_ reasons why he should be elected. Mr. Richard Laws made a strong plea for Bailey and Gleason. Mr. Marcellus West got the floor and notified the meeting that Carson’s funeral dirge was sung at Mount Car- mel Church. Senator T. T. Allain, of Chicago, made a strong appeal for the election of a Reed delegation from the repub- licans of the District of Columbia. He said that he was proud of the advance- ment and high standing of all the peo- ple of the District, and closed his re- marks by paying a high com; liment to the memories of the life of Fred. Douglass, and said that if the old leader could say one word, it would be for the nomination and election of Thomas B. Reed, tor President. In speaking of the high standing of the citizens of the District, Senator Al- lain, said: Illiterates 10 years of age and over classified: ab-tract of the Eleventh Census of 1890.

Foryears the democratic party in the Third South Carolina Congres- sional District, exercised, unopposed, and unlimited sway and electors, who believed inrepublican principles were afraid to express them. Mr. Moorman had for years watched the trend of affairs and had become ab- solutely and entirely disgusted with democratic ‘policies, practices and principles ; so in 1880 he cast his for- tunes with the republican party and voted successively and respectively, for Garfield, Blaine and Harrison and has worked for the success ofthe G. O. P. from 1880 until the present time. It costs a man something to be a re- publican in certain sections of the South and most especially in North- ern South Carolina during the election periods. During these times in this section jeers, insults, intimidation and often times _ as- saults arethe arguments resorted to by the democratic party to woo and win voters and failing in this method, the stuffing of ballot boxes and fraudu- lent returns and as a last resort the use of the shot gun are called into their service to carry out their nefarious and diabolical schemes and purposes. In this district at the time when Mr. Moorman began to take an active in- terest in. the affairs of the District lethargy, indifference and apparent deat Rad seized the party and the party leaders, but when Mr, Moorman assumed the party leadership, new life, renewed vigor and a spirit of aggres- sion and pugnacity was manifested and once more in the spirit of the olden days the republican party arose Phoe- nix like from its own ashes to do battle for victory, justice and liberty. The resuscitation of the republican party in this part of the State is due largely, if not entirely to the work, in- fluence and potentiality of Mr. Moor- man, who has been honestly, fairly and squarely elected to Congress from the Chird South Carolina Congressional District and defrauded of the same by the mandacious aid dishonest prac- tices and certifications of the members and leaders of the democratic party of that -tate. Mr. Robert Moorman, the republican candidate and contestant for a seat in Increasing the Mountain's Height. Year after year and century after ) century Vesuvius puffs away. Last ' July it suffered a new eruption in the side of its great cone. It did no dam- age save to the roadway by vhich the traveler ascends to the steep e»g rail- way that carries him from the middle of the mountain to the apex of the smoking, spluttering cone itself. The first recorded eruption of Vesuvius was in 79 A. D., when Pompeii and Hercu- laneum were overwhelmed. Petween the first and sixth centuries nine erup- tions are recorded, and since that epoch there have been forty-eight great ones. The last destructive eruption was on April 26, 1872, when about fifty sight- seers were killed and more than 40,000 people fled from Naples. Of the present condition of the ominous monster the Paris Herald says: Vesuvius is 150 feet higher than it was nine mouths ego. The constant showers of jorous lava have filled in one side of the old hol- low crater, and have built up the new cone, which, from its bold outlines, kas greatly changed the appearance of the summit, and is still changing it slight- ly every day. Formerly the volcano as seen from Naples, had a rounded top, but now it comes to a wedge port. A year ago visitors looked into the hollow of the old and somewhat cocled- off crater. Of late they have gone in- side the boundaries of the old crater to get a good look at the new cone, , from the summit of which, at intervals of a few minutes, there is a gust of steam, laden with red-hot ashes, which are sent into the air 200 feet or more. Before the steam has drifted away there is another rumble, a sound of watery explosion, and another shower of ashes. Thus, from a distance in the daytime, there seems to be a constant | curl of white vapor from the summit, but at night each separate eruption throws up a vivid light, which then fades away in a dull glow. The natives who live on the slope of the mountain say that after the new cone has been built somewhat higher it will fall in of its own weight and close the present breathing hole. Then the mountain will be like a worked-up bottle. A new vent will have to be made, and in the making of this vent there will be a fierce eruption, an over- flow of lava and the formation of a new crater. There was, indeed, a general belief that the renewed and growing activity of the voleano would lead to some sort he ” Th Two of the largest meetings ever held in this city were at Mount Carmel Church. corner 4th and L streets, n.

He was appointed postmaster at Newberry hy President Harrison, and during his encumbency te office reached a highstate of efficiency and he made for himself the record of be- ing the best postmaster the town ever had. He was appointed postmaster at atime when there were about thirty other applicants, but Mr. Wanamaker, | then Postmaster-General met him, be- came impressed with his manliness and his sterling republicanism and wisely appointed him to the office. Mr. Moorman has been honestly and fairly elected to Congress from his District, and Iam sure the sense of justice und fair play that are leading traits of the Republican party will se- cure for him the seat that is to-day oc- cupied by an unlawful occupant. The Republican Congressional Exe- cutive Committee of the Nation, did not aid financially, or otherwise Mr. Moorman, in his canvass and the Re- publican Congress, therefore, owes it totruth, to justice and to her loyal and faithful supporters in South Caro- lina and theentire South to seat Mr. Moorman and the other legally elected contestants from that locality and thus prove tothe country and to the world that the ballot of the black man is a sacred inheritance and must be pro- tected and guarded zealously and safely wherever the stars and ‘stripes float and that every ballot, in every part of our vast Republic shall b+ counted for the person for whom it was cast. The Republicans of the Nation have left the Southern wing of their party to themselves and to their enemies too long. And yet single handed and alone werhave recovered Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Caro- lina and made West Virginia and Mis- souri splendid debating ground for the Presidential election. We ask in return that our republi- can friends in other pa ts of the country will only have the manhood, consist- ency and wisdom, to sve that justice is done unto usand so will they, ‘‘Ren- der unto Cesar the things that are Czsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” Mr. Moorman’s case was managed in the State during the time the evi- dence was being taken by Lambert W. The men who compose the Congress or a majority of that number are not members of the association. Men who claim to be at the head of the institution are responsible for what tiey have imposed upon the people of this community What is the Y. M. C. A. coming to? Does it respect the feelings of the peo- ple of this city? Does it have any respect for the young girls who have been outraged and ladies who have been insulted ? To enable those who were anxious to advance their own interest, men who were appointed to States that have the largest votes, were not members of the association but personal friends and satellites of the men who have out- raged the community. Below will be seen the form ofthe letter that was sent out: eae saree the flow towards Resina (in the direc- tion of the buried city of Hercula- | meum) was, therefore, not unexpected. The large cone is simply a heap ot cinders dignified by size. The ride tu the foot of the cone consumes five hours, but it requires only ten min- utes to reach the top of the funicular railway. Then there is a walk of ten ' minutes up the jagged edges of the huge crater to the bowl, and in this is the little cone thrown up by the re- cent eruptions.—Chicago Inter Ocean. and best families in South Caro- lina. His father, Robert Moorman was four years a member of the House of Representatives, and eight years a member of the State Senate. He was a leader in ante-bellum days in society, church and state of the demo- cratic party and was one of the first men in his State to sign the ordinance of secession. Thus it can be plainly seen that Mr. Robert Moorman, the son; was early surrounded by those in- fluences and tendencies which have called forth the highest and strongest courage for him to shake off and leave behind him. His relativesto-day are among the ablest and most powerful of the demo- cratic leaders of the Palmetto State, for the Hon. Sampson Pope, late can- didate for Governor of South Carolina, Y. J. Pope a member of the supreme court are his first cousins, and Thomas S. Moorman, late clerk of the supreme court and one of the most brilliant Iswyers of the State Bar, is his brother.

Net being influenced, warped or biased by the environment of slavrey and secession and not subscribing to the tenets, policies and practice of the democratic party. Mr. Moorman ac- cordingly went into the republican party actively in 1880 and has voted respectiyely for Garfield, Blaine and Harrison and has worked for republi- can success and aided financially the republican cause ever since. The republican party of the South, and especially South Carolina had been dead apparently since 1876, its corpse being yearly and securely guarded by democratic bull-dozers, _ ballot-box stuffers and the shot gun fraternity. Colored republicans were afraid to makea determined and vigorous cam- paign for a Congressman from this dis- trict, (Third), and democratic su- remacy and sway were in the saddle in defiance of popular wish and popu- lar choice and said in effect, if not in words: Republicans had no rights which they were bound to protect, re- spect, or subserve.

Habitual Drankard. The Austrian Government has pre- pared a bill for the treatment of habit- ual drunkards. The'measure proposes to empower the authorities to open re- treats for inebriates, and distinguishes between the voluntary and the com- pulsory detention of drunkards in these establishments. Those who enter vol- untarily will be able to leave at will. but are to be treated exactly like the compulsory inmates. The latter class may be sent to the retreat of the re spective districts, either by the order of a magistrate or on the petition of the parents or children, or of the hus- band or wife or trustee, or of the chief of a lunatic asylum in which the drunkard may be detained. Inebriates may further be casigned to retreats by the action of the public prosecutor, or by the mayor or burgo- master of the town or village in which the habitual drunkard resides, whether he belong to that place, district, town or province or not. In all four classes of cases the detention of the inebriate must be preceded by an ordinary judi- cial action before a court of first in- stance, which is bound to hear wit- nesses, including the drunkard himself, as well as the doctors, more especially experts on mental diseases. The term of detention will be general- ly for two years, but the “patient,” as the inebriate is constantly called in the bill, may be released on leave after one year, but will be confined again in case the trust reposed in him should prove to have been ill-placed. After the two years term he must be released, but if he should afterward come under the provisions of the measure he may be sentenced again and again for fresh terms of two years, and eventually giv- en over to a lunatic asylum or to @ hospital, as the case may require— New York Pregs.
