hold senator ransom responsible tor his several defeats ransom was i not to blame but here is what the . c irrespondent says : judge fowle does not disguise the fact that he is intensely hostile to s nator ransom because ransom aided iu defeating fowle in 1s80 for the nomination for governor in opposition to gov jarvis , at one time ex-judges fowle and merrinion represented he disgruntled element

heartily tor him the contest for the senator ship in 1888 has already begun fowle is determined that no effort of his shall be larking to defeat ransom and he is laying his plans to that effect it was thought by fowle that merrinion ought to be defeated for chief justice because his election was to have strengthened ransom through the friends of the old court so judge fowle's influence was thrown for the old court it is now said by fowle and friends that indue merrimon did himself great harm by permitting his name to lie used for chief justice and that his defeat practically puts him nut of tii 1 sentorial race two years hence and leaves one less antagonist in the field 1 certainly ransom was not to blame and must not be held accountable he has his faults but with them all he is worth too much to north carlina at washington to swap him for mr fowle the watchman favors the present representation in the i . s senate and believes th.at any change will be for the worse the tiuth about hanson it has been alleged that when sena tor ransom was urged recently to go to the postoffiee department and in sist upon the removal of miss dusen berry the republican postmistress at concord be declined saying that it would do no good — that she would not be removed it was urged that his going would at least satisfy concord and for that reason he ought to go to tiiis he is alleged to have responded that this would be pandering to the people and this he would not do much is sought to be made out of this and some of his friends are unneces sarily — if they will pardon us—apolo gizing for him and denying that he said it if senator ransom did not say it he ought to have done so if he does pander to the people he ought not to to pander is to minister to the evil designs or passions of others demagogues pander to the people and senator ransom is not a dema gogue though some persons ignorantly him to lie lie is candid and straightforward in politics he has more influence than any man in the senate he reflects infinite credit upon north carolina in that body no senator ever served his people more faithfully if he had been a demagogue and a panderer he would have gone to the postoffiee department upon the representations made to him though he knew his visit would be ineffective he and his friends ought to be proud of him that under the circumstances he would not go ami that he gave his reason frankly for not going.-—laml mark on to victory (?) democrats ! the words used as a heading to this article are by no means an indication that we regard victory for democrats as beyond question such a thing should not be dreamed of victory is ours if we put forth our best efforts to obtain it but without such efforts the result is clouded in uncertainty every mm within the democratic ranks can d > something for the good of the cause and should do it stump speeches and newspaper articles are very good per haps in their place but a number of voters iu every township are never reached through such agencies and they are generally the ones that need looking after now there are many democrats who go regularly to the polls and vote for the nominess that never think of at 1 tending a political speaking or making a single effort to secure a vote for the candidates of their party they are very anxious to see the ticket elected for they know that the success of the democratic party means a triumph of the best elements of society over igno rance and incompetency they wish to see good men inducted into office for as tax payers they have much at take but for all this th**v keep on the even tejior of their way leaving somebody else to do the work some democrats are too good to take any active part in politics they are ready to acknowledge that it is very desirable to elect the democratic ticket hut like the virtuous mugwump they stand upon a high moral plane and look down on the vulgar crowd with a calm superiority which does not comport well with the fears they ex press that the work is not being prose cuted with sufficient vigor \\ c do not expect to see every man a politician that were a condition of affairs ni t to be desired every man can do something for the cause how ever and no one should consider himself too high-toned or too pure tmiiiiivd to lend a hand in securing for our state and counties honest compe tent law-makers and officials there are meetings and speakings to be at tended where large crowds have a wholesome effect there are doubtful voters to be approached and converted and weak-kneed ones to be bolstered up and in fact then are many ways in which all who will may work for the election of the democratic ticket when such a state of affairs has been brought about we can reasonably say with confidence on to victory demo crats — fayetteviue observer a » — - to the public charleston september 17 mayor courtenay today issued the following proclamation : city ok charleston j executive department > september 17 1xs0 ) to the public : the city council of charleston at its regular meeting on the 14th inst took the following action : whekers a terrible calamity has befallen charleston vast and wide spread iu the loss it inflicts far greater in extent than was at first realized and whereas it is evident that the liberal and spontaneous assistance which has come to us from all parts of this country and from england and which is deeply appreciated and grate fully acknowledged by our people will lie wholly insufficient to meet our un expected exigencies be it besolved that the mayor be re quested to prepare and issue an address to the public setting forth our condi tion and invoking additional aid for this stricken city in making known to the general public this declaration of the municipal government as to the condition of our city at this time it seems to me un necessary that i should add any words of my own the unfortunate facts are before the country by the statements of disinterested visitors from different parts of the land by personal observa tion and are known here and deeply felt i ask the press of the united states to give this proclamation the benefit of its far reaching circulation signed v.\i a courtenat all at work charleston sept 15 there is no particular change in the situation today but the work of rough reparation is go ing on over every part of the city it is impossible to restore the buildings to their former condition but^they are putting on a better appearance and the very hum of labor tends to lighten the situation there is ascarcityof brick layers and plasterers but numerous ap plications for work come in daily the relief committee today considered the condition of summerville and villages along the line of the south carolina railway and of the town of mt 1'leas ant opposite charleston on cooper river and resolved unanimously that the losses in these places should be pro vided for iu the ratio of their amount on the same basis as the losses in charleston the feeling of tin com mittee is that while most of the funds wen sent in the name of < charleston t he intention of the donors was to furnish nlief to the whole earthquake district in his vicinity a committee on im mediate relief has been organized and is issuing small sums of money to per sons in great distress for want of cloth ing etc most of the tents and shel ters provided for refuge in the city have been removed and it is the intention to have all cleared away by the end of he month in this the government en gineers have greatly assisted by their reports on the condition of dwellings gifts for charleston the two greatest actors of the eng lish speaking race irving the english i man and booth the american have acted generously in their contributions to the suffering thousands of charles ton the english actor with brother ! hood and deep sympathy sends his 500 to the sufferers this is worthy of our kin beyond the seas the a.mer . ican with vivid memory of many dear friends in charleston ends his check for 1,000 and only regrets he cannot 1 elp all of vm.j then this is generous and shows that the whole world is kin then there are the munificent benefactions of rich men in tin north corcoran and child ?•">. 000 each drexel 2,500 w k van derbilt 1,000 and cornelius vander bilt l.tmid that shows that in a great and sudden calamity there ire no sec tional antagonisms and in our common country iimsiiiith.iioxortli.no east no west such reaching of the hands to the distressed and such bestowments of help to those who are destitute plead trumpet tongued for the nobility of the race the south s grateful thanks and sincere benedictions go up in behalf of the givers thus far among the cities boston hartford new haven new york philadelphia buffalo saratoga de troit and newburg have raised or are raising funds for charleston the philanthropic governor of michigan governor alger lias actually issued a proclamation calling upon the people of his state to contribute all they can for the relief of charleston this is so remarkable that it deserve3 special me - tion and governor alger should be remembered by all of the people of the south in larger cities mercantile and other firms have given 100 8250 and 500 the largest bestowment in the south as far as we have seen mentioned was by mr william latimer of this

sunday forenoon t the temple of israel rev e a yatea of the front street meth odist church preached upon the subject f earthquakes 5 and by request of friends gave his views as to the cause of thos 1 ; ter rible phenomenia while the main part of the discourse was an application of the sul'jc-bt the following views as to the-cansc were given the revival of science that followed the j overthrow of ptolemaic astronomy gave rise to many speculations and new bypotli ! eses the most active minds swept the field not only of investigation but of imagina tion and even fancy laplace and des cartes were prominent in formulating systems and theories which have come down to us that which has held the inost prominent place in the public mind was the laplacean theory known as the ; nebular hypothesis the theory if earth | quakes was immediately based upon this ! thai is to say because the earth was once in an incandesant or red hot | melted state therefore there must be j only a thin crust formed upon which we dwell while all the interior is an ocean of melted matter in round numbers ! the radius of the earth being atbout 24,000 miles and the thickness of the crust having been estimated all the way from 26 to 400 miles this would leave an ocean ! of melted matter on the interior at least j 7,000 miles in diameter the theory is j that the shrinking of t ho crust and the movement of this ocean of melted matter produces the fracture and waving of the i crust it is more than probable that this theory is false without doubt the globe was once in a red hot nult d condition the fallacy lies in supposing that it cooled only upon its crust the most emineut scientists have exploded this fallacy the well known law of the convection of heat would iirevent any other permanent cooling than that of the whole mass and from the centre and when reaching a certain point in the cooliug process sol idifying would begin at the centre it is not'true thut heat increases in a certain ratio as we descend this for year was thought to e true but modern research has shown its falsity sir win thomson prof hopkins arch-dcacou pratt and others have in many ways shown that the earth is solid prof g il darwin says on the whole we may fairly conclude thai the effective rigidity of the earth is as great as that of steel and prof winehell say it appears probable admitting the general solidity j of the earth that the internal tempera ture does not continue ;<> increase down ward iu uniform ratio with the depth but the rate of increase diminishes that there is melted matter beneath the earth's surface no one can doubt for volcanoes pour it out in rivers upon the surface but this melted matter is local : and its production easy to be understood jso matter how hot the internal depths may ke the weight of superincumbeni earth will press it into solidity the philosophy of melting any given sub stance is thai the heat penetrates between the par iiies and pushing them apart these particles ilow or a we say the mass is melted by the heat but greal weight upon this matter where it cannot | escape laterally overcome the separating | power of the heat and forces the particles back into solidity it is very easy tosee however that at some point beneath the surface of the earth this weight of pres sure and the fusion point of temperature would he coincidental and we should have j a zone of molted matter all the way around the globe at a certain distance beneath the surface and this is just what would take place if the whole earth had not cooled beyond the point of such possible fusion it remains then to account for the existence of melted matter beneath the surface at different localities and com paratively in small quantities the slow process of cooling contracts the globe prof mallet says that the crushing effects of enormous lateral pro sure resulting from the secular contrac tion of the earth iu its slow process of cooling is amply sufficient to produce local fusion this may operate to some extent but i am of the opinion that there is more truth in the suggestion of prof winehell who says that t lie tidal deformations of the more yielding portions oi the earth is the source of the internal heat which manifests itself in fluidity however the small quantities of incited matter here and there within the earth may be produced the old notion of a universal internal ocean of lire may be regarded as exploded and obsolete we find then no cause of earthquakes in this theory and violent volcanic eruptions are not earthquakes proper and only produce a very limited effect just as any explosion at or near the arth surface will produce more or less tremor in the adjacent parts my opinion is that earthquakes are produced by electrical disturbances in the earth which are similar to those disturbances that take place above the earth and as the thunder storm comes on to its culminating shock and passes and dies away and we hear and see from the distance the last and final flashes and | muttering.s so the electric storm within j the earth breaks into the awful shock and catastrophe and then asses and dies away and we feel for a greater or less time the tremor and decreasing move ments until the rest of equilibrium is reached there are many reasons for believing that earthquakes are caused by electrical disturbances 1 we have seen that the old theory necessarily fail earthquakes may produce volcanic overflow because is is probable they may start into action the causes that produce volcanoes ; but vol [ canic action itselfis too limited to produce the phenouk non of earthquake during the recent disturbances the electric displaj was immeuse railroad bars hinges and other iron material was magnetized needles deflected the whir ring sand in the atmosphere electric balls seen in many places and the sensible shock fel by nearly every person v . fe i v en upon i he ground the subsistence of land in any given instance may be due to the fact that the electric storin shatters and melts much of the rocks and conglomerate matters within the earth and this forced through elevations and fissures particulaly on oc-an shores and sea bottoms gives room for corresponding d pression the heavy weight of mountain ranges according to prof wincheh's idea of pressure pro j dm-in i fu ion m iy a unt for vo eruptions through the tilted rocks form ing i he sides of their chimneys i'.ut it may be inquired if electric storms within the earth produce earth quakes what causes the electric disturb ances in answering this question we should remember that the attraction of the moon lifts the oceans into tides however soled the earth may yields to this attraction even i a of steel would yield some this iiilr of the earth to the moon's attrai however small is sufficient to produci a bulging of ii mass over a large zone beneath the moon's path — li will readilj be seen what friction results from this between the particles and rnassi - â– matter in juxtapi sit ion not only m mutter for volcanic action bul prodm ing electric disturbances that meet nil de mand yf t lie tlleo;y this too ac i unts for the tolerably regular oscilation every 2-1 hours tl when the revolution of the earth i a its axis brings the area of disturbance be neath the moon as the hi shock was about 10 p m so we may look for some little tremors from !> to ii p in and it may be at next new moon win n the sun and moon are both pullinj the same line an electric storm within the earth is to ] be dreaded more than such storms al the earth inasmuch as the disturbance at the surface of the earth causes gr ater destruction of life by falling buildings than the disturbance of the atm above but if \\ e were to nder storm for the iirst time it w uld terrify us as much as an
