The distressing stories about the storm on the 281 h were con siderably modified as soon as the mails aUcl wires got straight. The loss in CluirlestOn was re placed from eight hundred lives to six hundred, and the destruc tion ol' property to less than one ?million. Tile storm was severest ?betw?en Charleston and Savan :nhh, Where the loss of both life airicl property is simply terrible. rl?he oro ps were ruined. All over Hon th Carolina come reports that iiie storm was about the same as lit was in Marlboro-was severe enough. HON ,f. L. M'LAU KIN'S SPEECH. Wc regret* that o vir space will not allow us fco print the speech of Mr. M.eLaurin this week, but we I lope to give it iii supplement .jorin soon, lt was a good speech, and, as our young friend E. S. 'Webster \vrote last week in com plimenting it, it is full of ''grit" "ou the situation. Mr. MoL?iirin has not been ?dle. On Saturday last he intro duced a resolution asking Con gress to issue $1*25,000,000 in treasury notes and placing the ia m omit in the banks ol the jSoVitji for I lie help of the people. S1' Iiis scheme is successful relief .will come soon. Let us hope he will succeed. TUB RECENT CYCLONE.

A U?gi?ier .scribe heard tw( ladies conversing about tho desi rabilily of our dispensary system A. wished to sec the cxperimoni curried ont, and aside from thc moral effect of the law in reducing intoxication, she believed it would operate to lessen taxes. B. objected to power lodged, ai silo regarded it, in one man'* liantls, even if it was for the gooci ol' tho people. After a short argument about the good and the evils of paternal ism, 13. proceeded to demolish UK assertion that tho dispensar) would i educe taxes, she gave as ar i tis! a ace the following : Tho Cit) Council had pledged $1,000 annu ally tc tho Columbia Hospital foi a term of years, and since the dis pennines had been established v wished to withdraw from tho con tract on the ground that the rev enuc they formerly had from li que:' licenses was ^oue; and also that the fines paid into tho polic< courts were far fewer than former 1V. A. thought the ombarrassmcn frey.) tho absence of tho sale o liquor licenses, and the diminishec fines paid in for disorderly con duct, a distinct ste]) forward h morality and civilization, and tha any present handicap growing ou of tho chango of methods for se curing revenue would bc tempe rary. further, that the roughs tratislbrrn&d into honest, industri ona citizens, evon if no other gooc were achieved, would repair tia breach a thousand fold. 1>. was demolished, but she con continued to stare for somo timi and doubtless saw now outline rising above the distant horizon o awakened philosophy.

FuricH-i'H, Slewnrc. Tho i>ublio ure informed by a printed notice from the Bunk of Florence tliiit it pr?poses to is sue "Scrip in denomina tionsuir abie for the public use," for the purpose of moving the cotton crop. Now, while we will cheer fully aid in any legitimate en terprise that would arrest the stringency that the banks have brought upon the country, we are inclined to view this move, as in violation of law, in support of which opinion we quote from the General Statutes : Section .1078-"No body pol itic or corporate within this State, shall bc allowed to issue any bills of credit in the nature of a circulating medium, or other than such as answer the purpose of contracts, under penalty of $10 for each and every dollar is sued. Provided, nevertheless, That tins clause shall not be so construed as to effect the char tered rights of any banking insti tution within this State, incorpo rated by an act of the Legista ture." If, however, we are wrong in our legal view of the situation, we think tho expedient of doubt ful propriety, and warn our friends if they can't get lawful money for their cotton to let it lie oil the plantation. Pay up your indebtedness either in cot ton or currency, and take no script from anybody and you will be safe.-Florence lief or m Advocate. ?le Still JLivcM. Gunnia1. Forest, during tho late war, was once approached by an Arkansas man, who asked : "General, when do you reekin' we' re goin' to get something to cat ?" "Fat!" exclaimed the gonoral ; "did you join tho anny morely to eat ?" '< Well, that's about the size of it." "Here," calling an oitiecr, "give this mun something to cat, and then have him shot." Tho ofliccr understood tho joke, and replied : "All right, general." "Tho Arkansas mau, exhibiting no '.hum, said : ''?Bile mo a ham. eap'n, stew up a couple o' chickens, bake two or| three hoe cakes, fetch a gallon o' butler milk, and load your guns.

A hard money man on a soil money plank will never again land a candidate in thc White House. Jackson took tho money out ol tho national bank and Cleveland put it in.
