None but natives can ever appreciate the horror at the seven days nor comprehend the dejnolition of the city at this time. The bravest men of South Carolina have been as completely demoralfced as the weakest women. It has been demonstrated that the common chivalry of man does not apply to emergencies of earthquakes, and that no rate of gallantry or courage known can be utilised or depended upon in events like these which have transpired here during the past week. The brave and, weak, the white and black, the good and wicked people, have all fared alike and have been upon the same level Everybody has appreciated most thoroughly that "fellow feeling which makes us wondrous kind," and will continue to do se in a more moderate degree for weeks to come. Charleston is in ruins, but die is not so demoralised as she was twenty-four hours ago. There has been a steady growth at confidence for two days, and the people begin to see the silver lining. Few are thoee who nowbelieve they are not reasonably if not wholly secure from danger.

J. Moran, with a party on lDoard, slackened speed immediately in front of the yacht Vedette. The Vedette sheered to avoid her, but her starboard boat banging at the davits struck and carried away one of the iron stanchions supporting the awning of the Moran. There was a little oonfusion, but in a minute the two boats were separated and going on their Way amid apologetic and forgiving bowing and hand wavings of the passengers. Finally, the way having been -cleared a little for the big racers, the long preparatory blast on the committee's boat whistle was given at 10.-46 o'clock. Both boats were then heading Ufward Oowanus, the Mayflower with boom well aft and to starboard mid jibs to port, the Galatea with boom aft aad Jibs to port.

We therefore demand of the Republican party, to which we are proud to acknowledge allegiance, that it shall take a Arm and deaided stand in favfcr of temperance and agaiast the saloon, and that when in power it shall adopt and enforce measures for the restriction And, at the earliest poaible moment, for the prohibition of the liquor traffic. Third—The fundamental principle of our government system is that the people shall rule. It has also been demonstrated by experience that prohibitory measures can oply be enforoed where public sentiment ■ upholds them. We therefore declare as our opinion that the best method of dealing with the liquor traffic is to 1st tin people decide the question, whether it shall be permitted or prohibited, by the submission of a constitutional amendment, in the whole state, and by lo6al option in the several parts of the By tha Falling of aa Ofd V. M. C. A. Building. Indianapolis, Sept 8.—A very serious accident occurred here yesterday afternoon by which several men may low their llvss. Work had Just begun on the old Y. M C, A. building, preparatory to replacing it with a new structure, and 4 force of men WM at work. Twenty-one of them were on the upper tier of Joists when the support on the inner wall gave way, precipitating them all to the floor below, a distance of 80 feat The following were caught in die falling debris and badly injured: Albert Schumacher, one of the contractors, skull fractured; Henry Schumacher, ankle broken; Henry Miller, leg broken and internal injuries; B. Dorleth, collar-bone broken and internal injuries; Lew Fisher, scalp injury; O. L. Warren, left hip HMshed; Ous Alexander, spinal injury. Of these, Albert Schumacher, Miller, Dorleth, and Warren, it is feared, will die.

But while the Mayflower was pinching up the Qalatea'waa getting a good full, and she came down on the weather quarter of the unfortunate Yankee like a frigate bird on a booby. They were on the starboard tack, and the Mayflower had to sag off. With the Galatea taking the wind all out of the Mayflower's sails the two yachts crossed the line one second apart, the Mayflower inshore, and away they stood toward Owl's Head. It wm a beautiful start, and one that made the spectators give the skillful Briton hearty rounds of applause.

Victobia, Tamaulipas, Mexico, Sept &— Governor Cuelar is in receipt of telegrams informing him that Hilario Rodrigues Martinet, a brother of the famous Coyote, crossed the Rio Grande near Rima, leading thirty-three Texas-Mexicans to join the revolutionists. The Coyote has issued a red-hot proclamation, calling the patriots to arms, denouncing the Diaz administration, and de- Mexico Has a Civil *War. The work of clearing away debris, which has employed minds and bodies of men, has done much toward restoring confidence and bringing about a better condition of the public pulae. What has been especially needed here since Saturday was to dra* the minds of the inhabitants fradPthe quakes and direct them toward the hope of reclaiming the city. This has been found a work of progression. It will take three weeks to clear away the accumulated debris, and buildings will be in the process of being torn down for months yet, as the first estimate that more than half of the brick structures and oue-fourth of all the buildings here will have to be torn down, seems to have been wisely made. More new building material is in the streets at this time—material for repairing only— than has been seen here during the past year, and mere will be used during the next six months, if a very large portion of the c#y is rebuilt, than has been used for a half century. .

Whits Rivxk Junction, Sept 8.—Returas from thirty-one towns give Ormsbee (Rep.) 5,853 and Shurtleff (Dem.) 3,554 votes for governor. Lmu Rook, Ark., Sept 8.— Returns from tho election throughout the state come in slowly. Enough is known, however, to guarantee the Democratic ticket 25,000 majority. In this county the count proguesses slowly on account of the great variety of tickets used, but it is believed the Democrats have elected their entire ticket by 1,000 to 2,000 majority. The result k largely attributed to aoceakms from the colored people. The election was very orderly, and no disturbance was reported at the polls anywhere.  The wind, what there was of it, was comiug straight through the Narrows. The Mayflower had to keep off whether she would or not, and having her sails rap full she outfooted the Galatea, which waa kept close to the wind The Galatea was greatly bothered when across the line by the big steamer Frances, that got right before her, and then gave her a lot of back wash in getting out of the way. Both boats held on for four minutes and a half and then both went around to the port tack together, with the Mayflower well on the Galatea's quarter. In the Frst district, Stewart (Rep.) is sleeted to congress by 2,070 votes to 1,811 for Brigham (Dem.) In the Second district, Groat (Rep.) is elected to congress by 8,880 votes to 1,644 for Folsom (Dem.) Returns are slow. Reports from twentylive towns show that only one is anti-Edmunds. In two there is no choice. Twentytwo are for Edmunds. Six towns remain to be heard from on this point ■Further returns from the Frts district'give Stewart 3,875 and Brigham 1,000 votes, and from the second district, Grout 6,530 and Folsom 2.914 votes. Fourth—We pledge ourselves as  cans to do oar utmost to help the party to {dace itself squarely and boldly upon a platform favoring the submission and adoption by the people of a constitutional provision wbich shall outlaw the' saloon and prohibit Before the racer* were half way across to Staton Island, it was clear that the Mayflower had regained all she had lost at the startpig line. She was rather better handled, it appeared to the yachtsmen. Two men were wen out oo the Galatea's bowsprit, while the rest at the crew were doing something about decks. On the Mayflower the men were snogged away under the weather rail. These matters are trifling, but a racing yacht is as sensitive as a. race horse, and even a man walking along tfee deok seta her to trembling, retarding her if only to a very small extent. From the weather quarter of the Oalatea the Mayflower passed to her weather bow. She had changed places with the cutter. The constantly growing fleet of excursion boats swarmed along in the lee of the raosrs—that Is, to the right of them. Close over to the island the Mayflower weathered a big bark at anchor, while the Galatea ran under its lee, or to the right of it, losing somewhat by being becalmed by the big hulk and rigging. At 11:12:80 the Mayflower came around on the starboard tack. The Galatea came about a minute later, and with the tide to help them they were likely soon to get through the Narrows. Besides that the wind, to the delight of everybody, freshened a trifle. Boston, Sept 8.—The national labor party has callsd a state convention at Boston, for Tueeday, Sept 21, to nominate a state ticket and select a state committee. An invitation to take part fat the eqHMaUsB 4s extended to the Knights of Labor, trades unionists and members of all other industrial organisations who are in favor of distinct political action, and who indorse the platform of principles of the national party adopted at Indianapolis, Ind., May 20,1886, which platform embraces all of the princlplee of the Knights of labor.

It was to be described, and so many facts of importance existed that no fancy writing could be indulged in. The street car service has been badly deranged, and is disorganised now. The telegraph service was ruined. There were tto messengers, few available hacks, aad the only way left tor the news gatherers was to walk, walk, walk, and write, writs, writs. For sixty hours it was not a question of how much could be written, but how much could be gotten out by wire. The best newspaper talent the country affords has been here, and in reviewing the week's work no class deiasrve more praise than the one which has withstood hardships of almast continuous running, with little sleep and little to eat, and which was expected to reproduce a faithful picture to the world ft a catastrophe which was beyond the power of pen description.
