CHAMJWTOir, S. C, Sept ; 29. There
has been no recurrence of the earthquake
hooka sinoe yesterday afternoon, al
though some nerrous persons say they
felt a slight tremor about 10 o'clock
last' night. There were sereral alight
ahocka at Summerrille last night, but
00 damage ia reported from any quar
ter. The weather in Charleston today
ia . mild and -4 pleasant. The sun
ia ahining brightly. . The. tem
perature ia not oppresairely warm
and the) eity" ia full of aatirity and
hope, in spite of Wiggins' fearful proph
ecy. The signal offioer here has reoeired
special bulletins from Washington today,
indicating no unusual meteorological
phenomena and pleasant weather, with
the probability of a shower of rain this
afternoon. This day has been, antici
pated with a great deal of fear and
trembling by hundreds of anxious peo
ple in Charleston. For the last three
or four nights the colored - churches
hare been crowded with worship
pers and sereral rerirals are now
in progress among these people in the
city. Eren the nost courageous hare
felt some dread at the approach of the
29th, and although they lure earnestly
asserted that they did not beliere in
Wiggins, they hare all felt that it
would be oomfortable to lire in Charles
ton after the 29th. The indications are
exceedingly farorable and there are no
premonitions of approaching shocks
The local scientists, who hare giren
great study to the subject, say there it
no danger of a recurrence ol heary
shocks, aad the community will surel
settle down after today unless there
shohld be an unexpected manifestation
of the disturbances. A state of fererish
excitement and foreboding seems to
exist, howerer, among those who passed
through the great shook of August 31st
CHAaiisTOH, Sept. 29.-Up to 7
o'clock this erening there had been n
recurrence of earthquake shocks and tht
city had quieted down. Wiggins' pre
diction! hre prored to be utterly wide
of the mark. The Mmmnnitv fo1n
greatly reliered that there hare been do I
ahocks ' today and it is expeoted that
within . another week, if there be m
more shooka, the eity will hare resumed
its J normal eondition. The work of
rebuilding and repairing has been going
on all day without interruption and then
is: a crowing feeling of confidence
thromghoat the eity.
XJp to this erening the relief oommit
tee had reoeired 1,375 applications foi
relief money from property-holders whe
are nnable to repair their own shattered
houses, : The total of the amounts asked
for.roaches about (800,000, The relie
fund has not yet quite reached $500,000
and the amount contributed is not sum
cient to meet the necessities of the eate
1 he relief oommittee feel that the money
so generously contributed by the people
of the United States ia intended only
for use in eases of actusl distress and
adopted Way a form of roucher which
eorers all the essential points in repairs
of houses end whioh is absolutely a
cash roucher upon completion
of! the work and its approral
by the oommittee. It is expected that
the whole number of applications for re
list for this purpose will not exceed
1,600, and it ia the intention of the oom
mittee to pay out money as rapidly as
the Touchers mature. The oommittee
hare also determined to superintend the
repairing of houses in certain cases. Ex
"-. a
pen mechanics employed to examine
damaged buildings hare so far reported
upon 4UV applications. The oommittee
on immediate relief has distributed
erery day for the past three weeks small
sums, not exceeding (10, to persons in
aetuai distress.

The opening business was at a decline

Chicago, Sept. 29. A special from
Ottawa, Ont., published here this morn

the department of mounted police, from
the Crow Creek agency, in the North
west Territory, that the Blood Indians
hare gone on the warpath and are de
vastating about there, in revenge for
the killing of six of their band recently
by theGros Ventre They left their
reservation, so the report states, Monday-
morning after a war dance, and
went south to Hudson, Northwest Terri
tory, where ther came on a small set
tlement of whites, some sixteen in
number, of whom ten were women and
children. These were all killed-and
Boilped, the besieging party carrying
off the scalps as trophies on poles. J hey
then continued on their way toward the
Gros Ventres settlement. Along their
track were many farm houses of set
tlers. These were all laid in SBhes and
the inhabitants killed and scalped. Not
less than one hundred, whites have so far
fallen,victims to the red devils' knires.
Among those killed are two Roman
Catholic missionaries at the Crow Foot
agency,' whose bodies are said to hare
been terribly mutilated. The whites at
the reservation, including the Indian
agent, hare been killed. After leaving
the agency, about thirty miles toward the
American border the Urow Feet met
with about sixty Gros Ventres and a
desperate fight ensued. The killed and
wounded on each side cannot be estimat
ed correctly, but it is believed the Crow
r eet lost nine killed and thirty wounded
while orer 50 fell belonging to the Gros
Ventres tribe, f One hundred and fifty
ponies were captured by the attacking
party, as well as a large amount of cloth

Washjiigton, D. C, Sept. 29. The
commissioner or agriculture has re
oeired the following letter, reporting
the appearance of pleuro-pneumonia in
three counties of Virginia:
Thi Plains, Va , Bept. zy, lbdb.
Hon. Norman J. Coleman, commis
sioner of agrioulture, Washington.
Mr Dias biR : I see by the news-
papers that' the uucago stocx-yards
people are denying the existence of any
disease among the cattle at their yards.
I must beg you to send a reterinarian
to this section as soon as possible, to
look after diseased cattle that were
brought here directly from the Chicago
stock-yards by Mr. E. T. Holton. I
learn that , the disease exists, or that
cattle are dying, in three counties.
Fauquier, Prince William and Lou
doun, ther beine cattle bought in the
stock-yards of Chicago. In erery is
stance the cattle came from Chicago. I
hare seen none of them, but hear that
many of them out of each car-load so
bought hare died and others are sick,
some of our farmers say from "Texas
fover," but all say that the cattle hare
a cough whioh I know is not peculiar to
"lexas ferer. This thine should be
stopped, if possible, but all my efforts
with the Virginia legislature last winter
(not being a member) to supplement
the. United states law ss to pleuro
pneumonia were unarailing.

Doris' circus performed at Asherille
Saturday last and to an immense audi
ence. The Citiien pays the show a very
handsome compliment. . It says: "A
circus never has to wait an audience for
the curtain to rise, at least not in Bun
combe. The crowd is pushing; Some
half an hour before the orenin! of the
doors the hill and approach to the mam
moth canvass was almost packed with a
mass of humanity, and when the doors
were open it was like the sudden break
ing of a dam. The canrass was soon
filled, erery seat occupied, and more
were required to be added. From
four thousand to forty-fire hun
dred people witnessed the show.
The performances in general were
good, fully up to expectations, and
the programme was a long and raried
one, presenting many and now pleasing
features, notably the contortionists, the
acrobats and the bicyclists, the bare
back riding, the Japanese jugglery.
Jimmie Robinson, the champion bare
back rider, merited the applause he re
oeired. The menagerie is good, larger
than usual with traveling shows, and
composed of animals well worth see
ing sey era! rare ones. Altogether
the show was a very good one, the at
tendance immense, everything orderly
and agreeable, and we hope all was en
joyed."
Am Appeal bj aba Baad.
Jackson's silver cornet band desires
to call the attention of the oitisens of
Raleieh to its nressine need for funds
to finish paying for its instruments,
hioh cost $500, $150 of which is yet
unpaid, and also to enable it to prooure
a uniform as early as possible, ihe
band has already give the oitiieos je
free music (and better music; ian any
other organisation here has erer done,
and while it feels that it has only just
beeun the good work, it knows that it
must hare help in order to become thor-
ouizhlT equipped. It also knows that
when that is done Haleigh will hare one
of the best bands in the South. Better
material for a first-class band oannot be
found among other gentlemen than those
who compose this one. All are busi
ness men who hare gone into this most
laudable enterprise for the good of Ra
leigh and its oitisens, and therefore do
not hesitate to call upon them to assist
in carrYing out an enterprise in whioh
ther are about to embark. This is the
holding tf a musical festival and fair,
beginning October 12th, to continue
four nights, whioh will be opened with
a fine rooal and instrumental concert
There will be also riven a band oonoert
each night. The management of this
festival has been placed in the hands of
active young gentlemen of the band,
who will call upon the ladies to assist
them, without whose aid nothing can be
done. Therefore this appeal is to the
ladies in d articular, ret the oitisens gen
erally will be called upon and earnestly
requested to contribute such aid as their
means will permit.

The day following the nomination of
judge W. P. Bynum by the republican
convention at Kaleign as its candidate tor
the effiajo of chief justice of the supr eme
oourt of North Carolina, a reporter in
terviewed him to learn if ho would ao-
cept the nomination. In answer to a
direct question to this effect judge By
num responded that he would not be a
candid te, and that he had written and
telegraphed to delegates to the conven
tion that he would under no considera
tion accept the nomination. Judge By
num requested that nothing be said at
that time in regard to the matter, as he
would shortly prepare a card for the
public. The card was issued yesterday,
in the shape of a letter, whioh rery fully
explains itself, as follows :
i Chablotts, Sept. 28, 1880
Robs&t M. Douglas, Esq :
Dear Sir : Your.letter has been re
ceived, informing me, though not offi
cially, of my nomination by the conven
tion of the republican party of the state,
as the candidate for the omce of chief
justice of the supreme court of North
Carolina. As both before and at the
convention I oaused it to be known that
I could not accept the nomination, it
oannot be discourteous or ungrateful in
me again to repeat that determination.
Having onoe occupied a seat upon the
supreme oourt bench, 1 am disinclined
to renew my experience there, and I do
not think it frank to be a candidate lor
an offioe I would not accept, if elected
to it This determination I deliberately
formed and expressed when my former
term of office eipired. With grateful
thanks to the members of the convention
for the high honor conferred upon me,
and with Bendments of high respect for
yourselves, I am, truly yours.
