Conm Patterson. But when Edmunds sat down Pat terson arose, and the great throng listened almost with abated breath as Patterson turned savagely on his col leagues. As he warmed up his look was that of a hunted animal at bay. He denied the charges that he had made any bargain. He declared that he was voting for Butler because he believed that he was elected. Every body expected that he would make these assertions, but Tthe excitement came when,' tinning upon Edmunds and his Republican associates, he de clared that they were now ATTACKING HIM BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO DO WRONG AT THEIR BIDDING ; because he refused to repudiate a go vernment which their President and his supporters bad declared to be le gal. Snatching ' the - telegram i f rora the table, he announced that it was from the best Republican they had in South Carolina; that it was from a gentleman who spent as much money as any man in the State to secure you your seat, Mr. President (pointing to Vice President Wheeler) and Air. Hayes his. , There was a perceptible thrill at this and a demonstration of applause, which was quickly checked, and Be proceeded to say that this man told him he was doing right. , In con clusion, he defied' them to ; read him out of the Republican partyl : " ' AFTER PATTERSON iCAMB .CONOVER.' His speech wis "the greatest sur prise to the 4 party ? of the day. It was short, and he read it without any effort at dramatics, but its sting was-terrible. He gave as his reason for supporting Butler that their Pre sident and his had affirmed the legal? ity of the LegisUtnre which elected Butler; that the Supremo-Court of South Carolina had affirmed it; that he never heard of a Democratic State electing a Republican Senator, and did not believe this one had;liat he cuid not ooDose Butler without questionirig the title of the PresMenrrainedrEventaally, .both hef and to office; that' he was unwilling to that.

From the Storm of Frl4ar Lui- - Wreck of mn Pikitwa seb.ooo.er offSaaltb'o Island Six of her (Trew Loot. .. . i ' Norfolk Virginian. We have yet another horrorto add to the already appalling disaster of the United States steamer Huron. A schooner, name unknown, with a car go of ice? aboard, bound for James river, was wrecked off Smith's Island during the terrific gale of Friday night last. Her crew consist ed of seven persons, six of whom found a watery grave. The seventh, a white boy about 15 years of age, was mirac ulously saved by clinging to some of the broken tfpars of the schooner, and was washed ashore on the island ear ly Saturday morning. Captain John Trower, to whom we are indebted for this item, states that when the; boy was discovered by persons living on the island he was nearly lifeless and had to be carried bodily into a house where he is kindly cared for. We regret being unable to give the names of the captain or any of his crew. Significance of the Fall of Kam. ; , t New York Times. a Kara is so welt known throughout the East that its surtepder into Rus sian hands will be regarded in Eng land with a certain degree rf trepi dation.' Those Eastern interests of Great Britain, which every English man is so ready to go to war to de fend, are certainly - threatened now. Persians, -"Circassians and the wild tribes of Asia will be thrilled by the intelligence that Armenia is practi cally in Russian possession. Once before this has happened; but Russia was then fighting allied Europe; and the disasters in the Crimea com pelled the eventual relinquish ment of the advantages gained in Asia Minor, v But the for mer reduction of Kara will long be remembered in the East is a no-, table event in the history of that struggle. It was only m few days ago that Disraeli dismissed all hopes of Speedy mediation or interference by England. He announced that the policy of neutrality would be main tained so long as British interests were not assailed. The time has not yet come when it can be truly 'said that those jealously guarded interests are menaced. But the fall of Kara must nearly affect the object of Great Britain's solicitude. So far as the conclusion of the war is concerned, the event may, in, this intent, be more important than now appears. A Cabin Expedition In Preparation. A special from Washington to the New York Herald says: "It is known in the State and Treasury Depart ments that the Cubans, under the di rection of one of their general officers in New York, have been for some time fitting out a military expedition against Cuba. They have built, it is said, one good steamer and purchased two. tTbey are destined to start re spectively from the ports of New Orleans, Bristol and Philadelphia. The government has been on the watch and revenue cutters have been placed under orders by the Treasury Department to watch the steamers. It is surmised among the friends of Cuba here that there is a traitor in ther own camp who has given the State Department full information of the proposed plan of operations, with the names of the principal actors. It is probable that some important ar rests will be made ere long, warranted by the developments which have been made." ; ' . . Grant Flr lUe Beet Nowhere, : . London Trutbi Nov. S.

He then tried uinis, and found it acted well, but not soqutckly. At last he settled on a combination , of the two, alcohol and ' quinis, and with these remedies be clakns that diphtheria is more amenable to treaUlThaaauy c diseases. In sn epidemic, such as diph theria all are affected by - the moibific agent; but only a few yielded ' to it4 Mar-ture,-vigorous persons have vitality enough to resist the disease. Children and weakly adults are its ususl subjects. ; Dr. Chap man considers that there is, idmoflt always, super added a local and direct; exciting caused such as defective exercise, improper diet, dark rooms,' dsmp houses, imperfect ventilation, and poisonous emanations from decomposing .filth in privies, . cesspools, sewer-pipes, etc. To sncii ; sgencies the strongest constitution 'will Soon' succumb. The blood being deteriorated;7 its crasis is impaired and Us vitaltly lowered; and then the sympathetic nerves, failing to , receive due stimulus, waver in their efforts to carry on the animal functions. ' , "All local treatment," he says, "is worse than useless. It exhausts the nerve force and induces greater injection of the blood vessels, thus favoring the exudation. . . "Alcohol neutralizes the diphtheria poi son, sets free the nerves of animal, life, sub dues the fever and inflammation, destroys 'pabulum that sustains the membrane, cuts short the disease, conquers its acquets, and shields other members ef the family from an attack. Upon the subsidence of the fever, as is usually the esse in from twenty four to thirty-six hours, a purulent secre tion begins to loosen the membrane, and soon thereafter to detach it in flaky, rag ged fragments. This process may take place, and recovery be possible, even when the larynx and trachea are implicated. The membrane is seldom renewed, when this secretion is malntsined by a steady use of the : remedy. Alcohol is as antagonistic. to diphtheria aabeUadonaa. ia.to ophuat-er qulsia to malaria. Like any other antidote, it must be given promptly at the outset, or otherwise its potency will be lessened, per haps last altogether. " Alcohol does not act as a stimulant, nor induce sny of its ordinary effects. Enough may be given to cause profound intoxica tion! in health, and yet there exists no sign of excitement or odor in the breath."
