CHARLESTON. THE BRAVE OLD CITY BRIGHT AGAIN. QUITE BIADY TO HANDL1 A BIO TRAP! IN ALL DI- PARTMINT8. Chabxkston, Sept. 23. There have been no shocks here today and the city is , quieter - than at any time since the great shook of August 31. The work of repair is making good progress and the labors of the relief committee are at tended with gratifying results. Rail roads, steamship companies and busi ness men generally speak hopefully of the future and count on a large trade in all branches. The railroads report an increase in passenger business over the corresponding period last year and say that the freight movements during the past week indicate a large increase of trade in the future. The situation is as encouraging as could be desired under the conditions. About 900 applications have been made to the executive com mittee for money to repair dwellings. The subcommittee on buildings, of which the mayor is chairman, passed on forty-two cases, ordering repairs to be made. Nearly all the destitute persons in the city have been supplied with food and clothing. '1 he camps arc nearly all deserted and the houses are generally oooupied. A few more days without shocks will fully establish publio con fidence. Reports have been circulated that the city is not ready to do business. This statement is conspicu ously untrue. It is enough to say that any order or contract or other business obligation can now be met as promptly, as fully and as satisfactorily in Charleston as the last. day of August. The case is even better than this. It is practicable for our wholesale and retail merchants and business men in almost every branch of trade to fill orders now that could not have been filled a few weeks ago, for the reason that their stock has been argely replenished in anticipation of the fall trade and new supplies are ar riving every day.

Inquiry was made at the treasury department today in regard to a published state ment that the national banks are being greatly disturbed by the calling in of 3 per oent bonds, which form the principal basis of their circulation. It was learned that several of these institutions have given notioe of withdrawal from the system and that others are trying to have their called bonds retained as a basis for circulation, preferring to forego the interest altogether rather than risk buying 4 per cento and 4 per cents at the present high premium. It has al ways been held by the treasury depart ment that when i bonds cease to bear interest they become unavailable as a basis of ' circulation. This ruling, however, : has lately been con- tasted by some of the banks and the question has been referrad to the attor ney general , for an opinion. Until this decision is rendered, the department must of oourse adhere to its practice.. In many oases, however, banks whose bonds have been called are deferring' their replacement, expecting a decision' allowing those bonds to remain. In the meantime the controller of the currency, the treasurer and the register are so busily engaged with replacements and withdrawals that it is not considered likely that the department - will be very exaoting with banks that have failed to surrender their called bonds. , A letter was received today from a leading finan cier of New York, suggesting that the exohange of bonds will lock up a good deal of money. Just at this time, when it is of great need iq moving the crops, &o. , it would not be well for the gov ernment to force the banks beyond ft reasonable degree of diligence in sub- stituting other bonds for the called threes. It is understood that the ques4 l. - 1 1 : i!l .L - 'm. I tion will be left open until the return of attorney general Oar land, who is ex pectcd bck about the fit of next month. Word of AdTlra far ttaa Irian. Dublin, Sept. 23 The most Rovi Bartholomew Woodlock. D. D.i Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese of Ardagh and Ulanricarde. has issued an address to the people and clergy of his diocese. The bishop laments the pre sent spiritual and temporal wants of his people and the sufferings and op pression of the poor.: He also speaks with pain of the prevalence and growth ol secret societies, so frequently con demned by the church, and expresses fears for the peace and future of Ireland. "God alone," the ftddress declares, "can scatter these clouds and quell this tempest. Meanwhile we exhort our op pressed people to be patient while using every lawful means ilo protect them selves and their own, and we warn their oppressors of the account they must render to God." The bishop then oon- jures all to observe the golden law of charity, but warn the people against the "revolutionary principles of secret societies. " "If, " he adds, the day Of national freedom seems to approach, the people s sins maj cause it to be deferred JWery crime will be not only used as argument by Ireland's enemies for re fusing to accord her her rights, but will also render the people unworthy of uod'ahelp."

A CITY PLACID IN TH1 MOST DANGIH. IMMINENT CutvaXAND, Ohio, September 23 A special from Lima,' Ohio, says Calderon & Madison's oil well was struck "by lightning at 7 o'clock this morning and tne fire communicated to two five-hun dred barrel tanks, which burst and the oil spread over the southern part of the city, endangering thousands of dollars worth of property. A large tank across the street from Calderon & Madison's well was also struck and 2,400 barrels of oil were consumed. There is immi nent danger of the fire spreading to other wells and endangering the entire city across the river. The entire de partment is out and great excitement prevails. r Nooa : T-he fire u still raging and it is beyond the power of the fire de partment to check its progress. Mrs. Henderson, standing in the doorway of her home, near the first well. struck, was struck by a stray bolt of lightning and killed. The Hagle oil well was ignited, but further damage was averted by tearing down the rigging. Llany'n Withdrawal. Haeked at Wilkvabara, Ha Stepe Dowa and Oat at Uom' Sehaul Hanaa. The Lenoir Topic says it has seen a number of persons who were at the Wilkesboro joint discussion, including democrats, republicans and Linney sym pathizers, and they all unite in declar ing that Col Cowles got decidedly the advantage, to put it mildly, of his an tegonist. 1 The republicans were dipgusted with their champion and one of them from one pi f 'Little Aleck" shouted ouf'Pull Linney Am n nl r.n Vnrr nti ('Amino ' " VV hi I A dowa and put York onCowlcp !" While Uowlcs was pouring hot soot into Ian- ney and soaring aloft so eloquently that he fairly captured the audience, .Linney sat dejected and cowed within the bar, with his face between his hands, nd Maj E. L. Vaughn, of Alleghany, one of Linney 's fastest personal friends but not a political one walked up td him and kindly said, "Hold up your head, Rom," but Linney replied that these canvasses were trying things. Although it was understood by the two candidates, continues the lopic, that, after the debate at Wilkesboro neither of them Bhould speak again until they began their joint canvass in Lin ooln, Linney attempted a little bush whacking game and had an appointment set at Downs' school house, in this (Caldwell) county, for last Saturday at 2 o'clock. The posters announcing the appointment were discovered by demo crats in this county early in the week, and Dr. Spainnour wrote to Uol. Uowles at Wilkesboro and Mr. Sidney Deal posted at once to Wilkesboro and' told the Uolonel. The Utter was greatly surprised at the trick and wrote a letter to be read by Mr. Deal to the audience at Downs', excusing his absence on ac count of sickness in his family. I When Mr. Linney arrived at the school house he was surprised to find the audience composed largely of ster ling democrats of Little River town ship. He proffered to divide time with anv one and Mr. 11. a. lilair offered to speak upon "the duty of democrats,:' but could not assume to represent uoi. Cowles who had authorised him to do a.- mar so. At z o ciocx jnr. xanney oegan and he and Mr. Blair made three speeches each, concluding at 5 o'clock. Linney' s speech was the same old one, with a few variations, and Mr. Ulair is reported to have made able and vigor ous rejoinders every time, and preach ing the pure and undulterated demo cratic doctrine, to have given Linney some hard knocks. The lalter took oc casion to compliment him upon the. able manner in wniou ne uau repueu w mm. At the conclusion Linney said that if six good men would tell him he was wrong, he would retire from the can- ass. Finding that many more than that number of good democrats showed in 'their eyes disapproval of his course, he retired from the building and had a short conference with some friends outside. Returning he made the follow ins announcement, in Bubstance : ' 'I find mvself in a position that no mortal man oould stand ; I cannot endure the abuse and sarcasm that will be heaped upon me during the next six weeks ; am to be attacked upon my war record good though it be whioh is written and in nress now ; every newspaper in tne .i State is attacking me and "every State ofhoial is against me ; every man in the distriot who can make a speech is on the stump against me and there is no one to speak for me but myself; I have nothing before me but an overwhelming defeat and a political death so, on leaving laylorsville, this morning, I concluded to quit the can vass, for I am sure 1 oould not breast the waves against such tremendous odds; in addition this canvass would cost me a great deal of money. I would, rather than continue such a canvass, be content to make my living by plowing a little bull on a farm standing on edge, but I can do better I have a good landed estate, a good wife, a happy family of loving children and I will f a to them and be at peace. 1 formally withdraw from the canvass and deolare that I am no longer a candidate This announcement was greeted with a round of applause and the meeting ad journed sine die Gn.

I notice; from time to time in the -newspapers of the State referenoe to the call by Northern settlers of a oonven .tion to meet in Raleigh, at the time of the State fair. ; In the call is also an invi tation Jo friends North, who are look ing toward the South for homes. It is also now a ' well-known faot that among 'the other visiters some two hundred Northern editors will attend this con vention and fair. The call referred to is signed bv 1.500 'Northern settlers now in this State. They are few, i but they are doing well, and they have oome and are coming to fill as far as may be the places of the tLree hundred thousand North Carolinians now in habiting and enriching other States in this Union, if they were here to day working as they now work in their : distant and scattered homes, helping here as they help there to up-build the common-wealth, giving their love and their lives to the mother that gave them birth; the taxa ble property in the State would be worth ' $25,000,000 more than it is. But they are gone! They have made their choice for better or for worse. Themselves, their children and their children's chil dren to us will be aliens. They have left us to boar alone the burdens of State increased by the dense ignorance of an 1 inferior race. Along with the pure current of our Anglo-Saxon life there is flowing miojrled and mingling as it flows an inky flood swelling in its increase and ever darkening the stream. Colored and di colored along the lines of con tact, there seem to be three streams in one flowing toward an unknown end. If the chief isuo in politics, the chief ques tion of coroern is the preservation of the integrity of the Anglo-Saxon race, then we seed the volume we have lott and wo must bend our energies to sup ply its place. The larger the current the harder to contaminate and to swal low it up Every white immigrant that comes, every white child of an immi grant that is born here helps to solve the race problem, u the only practical way it will ever be solved. But there is also anothei reason why we ought to encourage immigration'. We are poor. Not more from the1 lad of money than of men, men who know something that we do not know, men skilled in the occupations that have made the North rich,, men educated to work in industries with whioh we axe still unacquainted. We know much, but much of our knowledge has no market value. Culture is an adjunct, not the end of education. Our system of education whioh is slowly becoming more prtctical will be greatly benefited by the most direct contact with the more practical North. Knowledge is equally 1 t a a aa. T vaiuaoie and equally creditable;; per haps, whether learned from our seotion or from others. Every man. who ecmes among us to work- even if we have to teach him something, is a benefit. Every man who teaches us how to do better work is pro tanto a benefactor no matter what his views about the tariff. Let him teach us if he can some new indus try and we will teach him if we can his error about the tariff on pig iron, i wool bats and false hair. Every new indus try or business started among us may be worth in ten years to our city for ex ample a thousand or an hundred thous and dollars and may lead to others which will be worth a million eventually.! Who can tell? Did anybody know in 1 1880 that Asheville which then had a popu lation f 2,600 and real estate worth about : a million, would in 1886 have a population of eight thousand and real estate worth 6,000,000; the finest hotels in the State, the livest of busi ness men, the highest spirit of progress 1 Well, there are two immigration socie ties in ; Asheville; there are scores of men making money selling real estate to settlers. There is a strong spirit of fraternity with any man who has come to work, even if born in New Hamp shire and brought up an abolitionist "of the most straitest sect." They have- already sold to men born on the. other side of tire Mason and Dixon's line, who did not agree with their venders on the main issues of the late war, some of whom also were at variance with them on as important business questions as baptising babies and taxing foreign goods, $1,500,000 worth of real es tate, because they could pay better prices than domestic patriots who had more orthodoxy but less money. Ideas are worth money. The idea of selling to a Yankee who has got the money rather than to a native who l . a a .. nas got patriotism has seen worth a million and a half to Asheville up to present writing. There is still a small class of oitiiens (and thank God it is small and is grow ing smaller) who think that we ought to keep our land for ourselves and our children, even though the said chil dren keep it as they have kept it, like the Indian left it three centuries ago. It is the essence of the doc true of protection. They would put a tariff (not on goods.'they say, but) on men to keep them from ooming into competition with their own impotent progeny in the struggle for existence, a progeny weak from spirituaL starvation on the diluted gruel of sectionalism. I cannot help feeling a pity not unmingled with contempt for a man who in this enlight ened day of progress, of thought, of brotherhood, is opposed to immigration. Some are afraid because we will get "a class" we do not want. We cannot get them all good, we are not all good our selves. Some are afraid of too rapid growth, but we will certainly not have it while they live to hinder. Some in narrow selfishness seek to protect their weakness by exolusiveness. Bo.t the business and life of the State are in favor of whatever will develop it, and when their attention is onoe thoroughly aroused to immigration as being ono of the great needed demands of our State, they will form themselves into olubs and organizations for its encouragement and advancement. The call of the settlers' convention marks an epoch in the 8tate history as, important ms the exposition; in fact the one is tho outgrowth of the other, and both together are the registers of a great and silent ohangethat has boen going on in tho minds of the people. r W.
