Tho fifth Congressional distnot of this State is the only one tho Democrats lost at the lato election. Tho third district is always Republican. Aocording to the latest accounts the State Senate will be composed of 27 Uoaiocruts, S'lndependetris 20 R«pub- House 5(5 * Democrats, 10 Independents and 54 Republican?. The official returns show speaker Carlisle's election by 708 majority. There"arj heavy cuius in bulhjbranches of the Massachusetts Legislature, lar iff reform brought it about in Penn sylvania Heaver Republic an,was elected Governor by 40,000 to 50,000 majority. California as far as heard from, giv.s a plurality of 302 for liartlctt, Democrat, for Governor. Blr, A. M. Keily is mentioned for Mr. Cox's place to Turkey. \\ e would he glad to see I'.ini appointed, for he has ; been badly treated.—-\\ i lining toil Siir. We think Mr. Keilcy was not so "badjy treated," but was certainly un fortun«te in being appointed minister to a country where tho long established rules ostracise any one of J cwish birth from being presented at |Oourt. Mrs. Keilcy b«iog of Jewish birth could not therefore, hawe\bcen presented at the couit of Vienna, and this condition of things would have made it very unpleas ant socially for Mr. Keiley to reside there as Envoy Extraordinary aud Min ister Plenipotentiary of tho United States, even if the Imperial and Royal Apostolic Government had accepted his credentials. It is time our Go -crnuient Lad filled this vacancy in "the Legation at Vienna. In declining the honnry degree of LL. D. tendered hiin by Harvard Pres ident Cleveland has acted with charac teristic good taste and good sense. — •'V. Y. Star. Wc do not object to the conferring of honorary degrees, but the degree of LL. D. should never be conferred cx oept as an unqualified recognition of profound scholarship. Washington Ir ving was too modest to attach the degree of LL. D. to bis L'amo wluch was con ferred upon him by the University of Oxford, Kngland. Just here we may introduce a little anecdote in connection with conferring of the degree of LL D. which we have never 'seen in print. Thomas Douse, a tanner of Cambridge, Mass., obtained considerable celebrity as a lover of books and a collector of a valuabb Übrary,; which he bequeathed to the Massachusct's Historical Society It was suggested that Harvard Univer sity confer the degree of LL. D. upon him. When Chief Justioe Story heard of this ho humorously remarked that it would be proper to do so as the initials LL. D. might stand for "learned leather dresser." '1 he degree was never con fer rsd. JAMES W. KKID. We very much regret Mr. Reid's,de- feat, not only ou personal ground.), but for the reason that a ■eiubar of Congress cannot go to tbo oxtent of his ability or usefulness by the service of one or even two tanns. Justice to ft member de- mands that a zealous, «oiupeteut, and faithful member should be retained while he is doing good for his constituents. The Haleigh Hi ;tshr rimurks upon Mr Reid'a defeat thus: We feel a deep regrot th«t Hon. J as. W. Retd should have been defeated fcr Congress, lie is a gentleman of un doubted ability, and has made his people an intelligent and conscientious representative. He has atoid manfully fey his people and has combattcd his jo a manly and christ an-like spirit. Such men as Senator Hansom and Col. K. B, Withers have gven him their cordial support, and hare shown in every irav that tbey had iu plicit con fidence in him. * * Mr. Hcid has not shrunk from the fullest investigation of the charges made against him, and has given every proof that his actions .were honorable. OUR SI AT K CONTKM I'OK AKI IvS. There has coiuo to be so much of a '•floating clement"' in tho constituency of tho country ; so uiueh buying and selling; so uiueli ignorance and villainy lying and vote traffic in these contests, that tho intelligent, patriotic and phil anthropic citizen is more interested in these and what they signify and how to remedy them than in tho result of their promiscuous ballot, which, at best, is 1 but a very inconclusive determination of any question, oither of political ex pediency or public justice. 'I alk about i •'no fence," "prohibition," "court house! rings, ' and all thut_ but in truth and in faot an intelligent billot honestly cast, both in nominating conventions aud at tho polls, is what the country needs' more of. As it is now, wo liavo igno rance enough and ktuvery enough and indifference enough among us, to deter i mine our election muj irities, or at least I to wield the "balaueo of power" with j unvarying certainty.—(Jolilsboro Jlr- gus. It is almost certain that New Vork ! will n.iaie the Democratic candidate in 1888, as she has done smoo tho war ended in every Presidential contest. It J is a great misfortune to the country thai j this is so, as it shuts out most of thej alio men in the Democratic party from j 1 all chanee of securing the highest office, j and compels tho whole Democracy to select from New Vork politicians, uot many of whom belong to a school that is particularly ennobled or that is re garded with favor by the South. But Now Y irk will again name the candidate, aud the question is, "Whol will it bo ?" Will it be Cleveland, or' Hewitt, or some man uot yet conspicu- i ous? In the matter of a selection there j is a new clement to be considered. Who j will be most likely t> placate that grow ing unknown quantity, the Labor party? Can a Democrat carry New York who is antagonized by ibis party ? Then again, the question is to be considered, "Who will please and hold the Irish 1 vote !" It is certain that without the' Irish vote New York is lost. So the question of avui/nbt/tly is the great question to be considered in New York. Who the man is wo way uot un dertake to speculate about just no*, Mr. Cleveland had to make a strong Ggbt in 18S4, to capture the New York delegation. Whether ho is stronger at home now than he w is in or w. a ker, we may not uudcr'ako to determine. Ho must carry the Irish vote or he would have uo showing in New York if nominated. Can he carry New York with the Labor vote against him? New ork exerts great power iu tbe Repub lic.— W ihniugtot! Siir CUIIR KN l'To M M KM". The comment of the leadiug Mug- i wump journal of America ou the result! of the Congressional elections U here j appended for the information of th.i eu rious ia such matters • "The present j Congress wis in no sei.se a Cleveland | Congress."

TWOSIIOCKS YESTERDAY MOUNINO AWAKISO THE Piorr.E TO RE NEWED EXCITEMENT. CIIABLEhTON,S. C., Nov. 13.—There wore two shocks of earthquake felt here his morning, the first one occurring at 10 minutes to 1 o'clock this uiorni'jg This shock wis remarkable for the com paratively moderate vibratin. which followed tho subterranean roaring and the detonation which was quite noisy, and awoke a great u any people. This disturbance was followed at 4>15 a. in., by a second shock of about the sauio character as the first- -both showing considerably less severity than has been observed in the usual Friday shocks uf the past few weeks. Previous to last night shocks there was a tolerably heavy rainlall hero, the first of which we have had for nearly three months not enough fell howcvei to avert the possi bility of a water famine, which serious ly threatens unless there is mora rain soon. Reports received here from Laurens counfy, S. C state that at the residence of M. A. W. Anderson, in that county, earthquakes to the number of sixty-nine orseventv have been felt since last Sun- | day. These reports, together with ac counts from other portions of the Stat o and from Gcorgit, apparently indicate the centre of the distnrbaucos to be moving in a north and northwesterly direction from Charleston.
