A Measure of Practical Belief. The Ku-Klux Offenders Can Xoie Ilelurn Home ?.1/1 Amnesty fur Illicit Distillers in J'.osj/ecl, H o are authorized to say that all citizens of South Carolina accused of offenses under the Kit Klux law, who have left the Stale on account ol' prosecutions against them, ponding in the t nited States Courts, may now return with safety to their homes, where they can reside without l'oar of further molestation, upon the single condition that they ho peaceful and law'-abidiug citizens. Governor Hampton himself gives t'he assurance that there is no longer any rink ."of further prosecution on account of past offenses. Scatterrol about in different parts oflha Unite 1 Slates, and in Canada, there area number of Caroliuians who were charged with hcing implicated in crimes alleged to have been committed by the Kit Klux in 1870-71. There was no hope of a lair trial. Hired witnesses stood readv to furnish any sort of evidence that pros ccuting officers required. It was only natural that those inost conscious of their innocence should tlee, when t lie choice was between flight a id the Albany l'enitenti try. These refugees have waited with sickening hearts for any . change in the position of utfairs that would cuu >!o lItem to go back to their abandoned homesteads. The time has canto. Through Haveru.>r Hampton, oiico again, despair will he changed into hope, and sorrow will become joy. Amnesty for (he Ku Klux offenders is not, however. the only good work i* which Wade Hampton is engaged. An earnest effort is making by (iovcrnor Hampton to secure <? general amnesty j'?r tie it *'a-1/ distillers in South Carolina. W ord has been ^him to York County that, if the-cjiatilwill come in and hind theiiiselVes^o stop their unlawful work, and if the citizens goi.eraliy will engage to discountenance the illicit manufacture and sale of whiskey, he will exert his personal influence, to the utmost, to h ive the prosecutions against such offenders m.iui 1 01 dismissed. About twenty-five illicit H'; distillers have already a.ailed themselves of the C ivernor's oiler, and, if it be found that it Works well, the plan pursued in York will be ex.en led to other counties. 1 he statements herein made, concerning the K .

A sad warning to young choleric politicians.'' Storm Last Saturday. The heated term culminated last Saturday uight, at this place, in one of the most lerrilic storms of Thunder, lightning, rain and wind, we have ?ecu for many years. The storm hissed ucayly three hours ; the rain fell in torrents, ' and the lightning appeared to bo almost one j continuous sheet of tlaine, so vivid and quick ' tli 1 the flashes come, while the thunder was ! deafening during the whole time. One oak tree I \\as struck by the lightning, in Mr. < nip's yard, j We understand that the storm blew down a I great deal of corn, but wo have not heard that it did any serious damage to the crops. Narrow Escapo from Lightning. Mr. 'I'. J. (ireer and Lb T. Hlack made a narrow e-cape from being killed by lighting during the -lorin of last Friday night. They were in , a wagon, with a Sewing Machine, and when at the fork of the Spartanburg road about a mile ir??m io\\ u, i nu irivi't Mi'ii jr ihmu .i u?-u */i .1-111.

It is really amusing to lienr sonic people talk about t lie bondod debt of the Stato and dtuouuee the last legislature-*-oertnin members of it nt leaSt~-for their action in the matter. A st range I'm on hearing these wiseacres grumble about it, would suppose that the democratic members of I cat Legislature actually had created the debt J instead of doing what they conscientious! vbWieTedt<r be the xnost honorable and cconomTlw, tji,- of ^B^?Ting the State of its burden. F \ Ask tl/sc grumblers if they know anything about in UtcT, and nincly-niue out of every IiundreyKtvill candidly confess their total ignoranco of cither the origin, amount, conditiou, or liability of t lie State to pay it. They will tell you that certain persons ?</,?/ it was contracted by the ltadical government and, of course, ought not to bcLpaid. They lose sight of the legal or moral oblgation resting upon the State to pay anypart if it, but "go it blind" for repudiation, upon tlie lay-so of men whose only object is to make poljpic.il capital out of it, either for their own adva&ccmcnt or the defeat of some belter c 1 man. As yet ,ve have not seen (lie first point of a 1 sound argument against the action of the last f Legislature upon that important, matter. Not ' one of the advocates of repudiation lias given ^ any sounder reason jbr opposing the action of 1 the legislature'Shan tlie fact that some of the bonds arc frauililont, and, as a sequence, they 0 assert all are fraudulent. 1 We ask our citizens not to judge too hastily | 0 upon the matter. AVc can assure them that the i 1 Legislature has done the people no harm. We ; 1 arc preparing a statement of the matter?taken j ? frotn no individual's say-so. but gathered front j 1 official data and^ignrc^?which, as soon as coin- i ' plctcd and so simpiitied us to enable everybody j c to comprehend it, shall be published. We, j ' however, state knowingly that by adhering to \ 1 the provisions of the consolidation Act and nil- 1 ( der the revising action of the Court ami Coin- 1 mission, appointed by the last Legislature to in- J 1 vestigatc the whole debt of the State?bonded j ' and floating?the liabilities of tlio State will bo j ' less than they wore at the cxpir.ition of Gov. 1 1 Orr^s term of office.

Wo hope L'nion County will have a full delegation tlicro. Among onr delegates are men of al?vVnjr. sagacity and influence, who should sac- | rirtce something to attend the meeting of the Convention. In fact, 110 delegate should be absent, it will bo a meeting of paramount importance to (lie political future of the State. ?? ? - Almost a Storm. For about half an hour on the evening of Friday last we were threatened with a terrific storm The wind howled, the thunder rolled and the lightning Hashed, while black and angry clouds, North, South Fast, South and South West of us, tflpPeftrcd lovbe^iylining ovcrltead to d#lugcthe earth with rain. Doors and windows were closed and our people waited in tremulous unx iety for the bursting of tho storm. Any kind of a rain would have been welcome, after such I sulfocating weather as we had had, but it looked i as if we were about to bo visited by a perfect 1 tornado. Wo don't know whether our people were more glad than sorrv, ".vhen they saw the (he storm clouds leave thcin ; at any rate the do??rs and windows were soon opened again, an< ijfelc wejp'it and listened to the roar of the i storm around the stars shone brightly above and all was calm with us.

Only a limited number of tickets had been ** sold, but at the depot were found so many dis- s, ippointcd faces that Col. D. P.
