; B A GRAND VICTORY, j ? ? NOT ONLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA BUT | ALL OVER THE UNION. i The Democrat* Have Captured the House j of Representatives by :i Majority of : Over One Hundred and Mado I.ar^e j Gains in the Senate. The election last week was a regular j Waterloo to Independents and Iiepub- j icans all over the country. Tillman's majority in this State is : between fifty and sixty thousand. Haskell only carried three counties. Sumter, Beaufort and Berkeley, all the others went by handsome majorities for the regular Democratic ticket. All tne uemocrauc nominees iurv.ua-1 gress in this State have been elected, j There was some doubt about Col. Kl-1 liott's election, but the fact that a great : many of the Miller ticket will be thrown ; out on account of their size and color, j will give Elliott a handsome majority, j In the Congressional elections all j over the Xorth, East and West the Re- i publican party has met with a most | signal defeat. Besides, the Democrats! have the State ollicers in a number of j heretofore strong Republican States, j such as Pennsylvania, Xew Hampshire. i Massachusetts, Wisconsin and several others. The Democrats have also captured the Legislatures in Xew York, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin and? the Alliance has captured the Legislature of Kansas, which means the retirement of that great enemy of the South. Ingalls, which in addition to the four new Senators to be elected by the Democrats in Xew York, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin will leave the TJprmhlu-flns a maioritv of onlv four ill " ' - I the Senate. Among the Republicans who failed j of a re-election to Congress are McKiuley, Cannon, liowell, and many other South haters, which is a source of great joy to every Southerner. Taken altogether, it is one of the grandest victories ever gained by the I people over corruption, venality and j sectionalism, and will do more to j strengthen the Union between the States j than any event that has happened since j the close of the war, and, unless the ; Democrats use their victory unwisely, j it means a Democratic President and j Senate in 1892.

I refer to a family by the name ol Brandon. The father of thai family. Charles Brandon, died when he was 00 years old but his youngest child was then less than a year old.

The family of thirty-five kept together for many \ ears after their father's death, and if the patriaiehal Brandon had lived a few months longer he would have seen seventeen of his sons enlist in the Union arm v. It is a question if in this or any other country an instance can be found r. :i.. /./wvtvihn trvl ! wnereone Jiuiiin <j\ci wiuit wuuwuiwu seventeen sons to their country's service. "These boys all came of good fighting stock, for their lather was a famous Indian lighter himself, a veteran of the war of It112 and the Mexican war. When western Pennsylvania was the frontier, and the Indian lighter was the most important and indispensable person in the settlements, Charles Drandon. occording to all traditions, was one of the best and most daring of all the active foes of the red men. His lather was killed by Indians when Charles was only 3 years old. He himself was made a prisoner, ami lived with the Indians twelve years, hating them more the longer he was with them. At the age of 10 he escaped, and after learning his mother tongue, spent all his time, uutil i? tn mnvp vnrnmn i lUCV nvii; uuicu settlements, in hunting and killing Indians. "lie was 51 years of age when the war of IS 12 broke out, and he was one of the first to join the American army, and was in if. when pcace was declared. He was 74 hen he enlisted in the Mexican war. "The third wife of this verile old lighter is living in Moundsville hale and hearty at the age of 07. She is over six feet high and as straight as an arrow. Of her thirty-five children and stepchildren, she knows positively of the wliarej abouts of but fifteen. The rest are scattered about the country and dead. The thirty-five children were all sons." ?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Credit for Cleveland. Columbus. Ohio, Nov. 9.?Allen W.

Never for one moment, amid -^11 the abuse that was heaped upon him, did he falter or his courage fail. Believing in the truth and justice of his position, believing that the government had no right to take money from the pockets of the people solely for the benefit of a particular class, he continued year after year, when others hesitated to battle for the right, and now, when all are ea^er to join in the fray, certain!}* this fact, that he dared to lead when scarcely any dared l" 'ollow, shows the metal he is madec.. and I believe that the whole people will see to it that he, and only he. shall be again chosen as their leader in 1892.

Xov. G.?The State Convention of the Women's Christian Temperance I "nion met here last niirht with a fair attendance of ladies Irom ail parts of the State. The feature of tonight's meeting was the presentation of a beautiful and painted silk banner to Lhe convention by its eloquent president. Mrs. Saliie F. Chapin. of Charlestoil. In making the presentation Mrs. Chapin said: "Great curiosity was ex pressed as to wnai cmoicm i wouiu as the exponent of temperance work in South Carolina. *A target' was proposed. and that suggested the emblem I have chosen, 'the palmetto.' Womans's work in the temperance cause has often been made a target, against which weak witticisms and stale impertinences have been hurled by those who do not take the trouble to inquire into the scope and magnitude of I he great work i-_: I,,. ? l.rt (linncondi r?f Winy uccumjui.'un.-ii ij\ mi, mi/uoii...... ... consecrated woman who arc battling in defence of there homes with the powerful foe. whose batteries arc erected at ereay stroct croner and whose victims are in all our homes. J3ut a target had unpleasant associations and would be , the reminder of a fact we desired to forget?that there were those even ol" our own households of faith who not only yavo us .10 encouragement In our unpopular work, but those sharp weapons had pierced our hearts again and again. We did no; want to remember all this, so we chose 'the palmetto.' lor though bullets be shot into the heart of the palmetto the wound will be concealed and covered by a new growth; hack it with a sabre, it will still show Us crown, green and flourishing. And then Ihc motto exactly suits the temperance work in South Carolina. "While we breathe we will hope.' "Massachusetts has her Mayflower: Georgia, hail selected cotton. l>ut the Mayflower would not have suited us even it' it had not been appropriated, for our Huguenot ancestors landed on our own Carolina coast fifty-eight years before the Mayflower came over. So it was the most natural thing in the world for me to adopt our own State flag, motto and all, and I was surprised to lind how appropriate it is to our temperance 'vork, ' In the lirsl place, palm trees love water, their roots always go below the drought line. The palmetto can endure any amount of pressure; you can pile heavy weights on it, but as soon as they are removed the elastic libers assumes its upright position. So defeat, abuse, unjust criticism, only make us more determined. Like the palmetto, the W. C. T. U. breasts the storm of adverse fate. "The heart of most trees is hard, the heart of the palmetto is soft. The palmetto grows every year more symmetrical.

Another way in which the palmetto resembles the W. C. T. U. is that there arc a great variety of palms, cach having its own especial use and place. Some are so strong they may be used as masts, strong enough to withstand the tempest, others furnish oil. and others, again, can only be made by delicate hands into fans. ".So in the A\". C. T.

The reports brought no news of dillicultic: anywhere in the State, and indicated [ peaceful and quiet election. I Governor Tillman said he was not a: all surprised at the small vote rcceivet by the Ilaskell ticket. lie had never at tributcd any strength to the anti-Tillmar ticket, and was not surprised at the com plete fiasco of;he Haskell movement. "1 am much gratified," said he, *'at tlu news that the day has passed withou! aii3* violence. 1 never had the slightesi <loubt that the Stute would give mc at overwhelming majority.

Out of a total of 230 souls on board only three were saved. The Serpent went on the roJcs during the storm on Monday night. A heavy mist prevailed at the time. \ Owing to the violence of the storm it was impossible to send assistance from the shore. Tremendous seas swept the decks of the vessel, carrying away group after group of men. News of the wreck was conveyed to Corunna, a distance of sixty miles over mountain roads. The Serpent's complement was 170 officers and men. The others on board were going out to relieve men now on ships on African stations. The Serpent was built after the ideas a iimii-.il ('nrmoi* Kpv who insisted V i iiuiuuu. ----- upon au immense power, which, according to previous notions, was out of all order to the displacement. She could maintain a speed ol seventeen knots an hour. Lord Brassey, in his Naval Annual, adversely criticised the vessel.

"The people of this country are in such a state thatuoteven the moat prosperous class will stand the addition of another feather's weight of tax. 11 was the most unwise policy that any party could pursue to take the stand of favoring an iu-crease in the tariff when it is and has been apparent that reduction Is what has been needed and wanted. I think I saw what was coming?at least my actions show that I pursued a wise course, and the other Republicans knew only too well the inevitable consequence of the McKinley bill. I received a letter from a Minnesota Congressman this morning, which read: ikIIow terrible was the slaughter. You saw the trouble and slid out, but I staid like a lamb and was butchered beautifully.

Columbus, Ga., Xov. 11.?A terrible I and sensational tragedy occurred to-day on the race track at Chattahoochee YaiIpv T'-Yiifisition now in nrocrress in this city, which has created intense excitement owning to the prominence of all the parties involved. Among the attractions of the day wa_ a gentleman's trotting race, in which several well-known gentlemen entered. Among them was T. C. Dawson, of (ilenville, Aia. There were probably 15,000 people on the grounds and the grand stand was packed with ladies and children. 1 immediately after the close of the race IVnt'eATi intr? the. .won in rear of the Judge's stand directly opposite the grand stand, and got out of his sulky, 1 n a few seconds the crowd was startled by the report of a pistol and the sight of Dawson running, pursued by three men who were tiring at him. Dawson was seen trying to get his pistol from his pocket as he rail, and as soon as he secured it he turned on his pursuers and returned the I. s. Some thirteen shots in all were fired. Dawson fell and expired in a few minutes. The attack was so sudden and in such a public place that it was imagined that it was a sham fight on the Wild West order, and this alone prevented a panic. -AS SU0I1 its 11 Wcl5 KI1UWII ina.1 It Wits rt real tragedy the stand was deserted by ladies, the police were quickly on the ground and arrested the three men, who were Dick Howard and Robert Howard, brothers, and their brother-in-law, James Rickerstaif. There were four balls in Dawson, two of which inflicted fatal wounds. The shooting had its origin in family trouble, Dawson having married and deserted Miss Howard, a sister of the two men named. The parties all have strong friends. The prisoners have secured eminent counsel. They refuse to talk further than to claim that they were justified, and ask the suspension of public opinion. Dawson was a son of the Hon. \Y. C. Dawson, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Alabama, now residing at Eufaula. The Howards belong to one of the oldest and most respectable families in Georgiy. The tragedy has cast a gloom over the community. The body of Dawson was examined by the coroner's jury to-night and the Inquest was posponed until 8 o'clock to-morrow. l'rof. Koch's Cousujuption Cure. Berlin, Xov. 12.?Prof. Bemmann inoculated fifteen comsumptive patients on Thursday by Prof. Koch's process, aud on the following day exhibited oue of the patients before a number of phy siclans, in order to show the change that had resulted within twenty four hours. The Borseu Courier says it lias authority for the statement that Prof. Koch's remedy has proved to be a success. A famous German surgeon, it says, cured within live days a case of lupus, or necrotic tubercular destruction of tissues of the lace. The National Zeitung says Prof. Koch, although he ha s performed a number of cures, does not yet consider the tim* come for the publication of his researches.-. Although the remedv has been applied to patients in the Charity uospitai anu in some private cases, us composition remains a profound secret. It has been ascertained that toxalbumine is the most important mgredientin the lymph. Prof. Koch himself makes this fluid, which is injected like morphine to the lung consumptives in the back, and the other comsumptives in the nearest spot to the afl'ected part?thus, in consumption of the larynx, for instance, it would be at some point in the throat. In most cases the patients ?ufl'er from a high fever for two days after inoculation, but this Is not dangerous, as has been proved oy tne iaci mat au me eases oa which the treatment has been tried have stood it well and have resulted most favorably. A case of lupus vulgaris has been cured within a few days, and the patient's face was not at all deformed.
