Union Again in a Blaze
About two o'clock Tuoadny morning our town
was startled by the terrible cry of tire, and in a
abort tiinc tbe tlnme* burat from tlie rear of
Mead or K Co.a I'rug atorc. in the new brick
block in front of Col, John I,. Young's dwelling.
A- prompt as poaaible our citizens were on tba
spot. and the little hand lire engine wa* manned
to light the devouring tlnmes ; but the moat daring
and strenuous etlurls could not atay their
ravages until they had destroyed five atores and
almost ?km> worth of valuable property,
nearly oil of ii belonging to our youngest and
most enterprising men. This Mock ven?
destroyed by lire in I lie great conflagration
uiioiit nine years ago. and was rebuilt, with slate
roofs, and was considered almost tire proof.
The following is a list of thw losses and insurance

This is a heavy hlow to I'nion, and particularly
to the young men who are the immediate
sufferers; hut it is gratifying to know that they
are financially found, and although somewhat
crippled they will nil rise, ploenix-liWe, from
the ashes, and stand erect before the world,
proud specimens of business pluck and energy.
Amid the howling of the tlame*, it giTe* us
great pleasure to state, the colored men generally
worked manfully and most willingly at the
engine.with the buckets.and in every way in their
power to save property and nssist in the effort
to arrest the tire. In particular we mention the
brave and untiring work of three colored women,
setting a noble example to a number of young
tnen who stood listlessly by without raising a
helping band in the time of the town's great
trouble, We hope the valuable aid of those
colored women will be substantially recognized
by our citizens.
Among tbs many gentlemen who did nobly

Eohoes from the Fire.
dr. t" T. Murphy, who had his ollicc in the
drugstore, lost a very valuable recipe book
which lie had heen keeping for twenty-five or
tlurly years. This is a serious loss to the
Uoctui*.
dr. Manning Smith, who also had his oflice
in the drug Store, lost a valuable of Surgical
instruments, lie attempted to sftv* them
but coitl I not get to t'neiu on account of the
b ii: eke.
Mr. If. K. Smith, of Spartanburg, who had
comic down t<? sell some books for Cofield,
I'etty \ Co.. left his vaiise, containing books,
kc., worth over !?-.*?. iti the Drug Store, and
consequently it was burnt.
It is a remarkable fact that many persons in
close proximity to the tire knew nothing of it
until after it was put nut, while some who lived
three-quarters of a mile were among the first to
rcacli the tire.
Mr, .1. II. McKissick has sustained a serious
loss by having his private books and papors
burned. They could not be put in the safe of
1'ant, McKiasick Co.. and consequently being
left out were burnt up.
Jim Franklin, colored, while getting water
from the cistern near the depot, fell in and
came very near drowning. The effort of some
person- near hy saved him.

occasioned by the tire was tm

The Threatened Issue.
"The up country is open-moulhfd about making
a proper apportionment an issue in the
next campaign. This being the case, it is as
well to see what is the ground of complaint
which arises in default of an enumeration and
reapporiionment. As near as we can approximate
ihe figures, wc find the following results:
Charleston county is very certainly under
iO.iMHJ population at this period, Edgefield ami
Barnwell together, possibly foot up 05,000
to-day : Abbeville and Anderson 85,000 ; Itichland
and Orangeburg 78,000; Sumter and
.Marion 78,000. Now, tben, if Cbarles'on
county has 12 representatives to say 00,000
people, this gives one representative to every
5,<MMt. At this rate Edgefield aod Barnwell
should have 10 representatives, they have only
10 ; Abbeville and Anderson should have 10,
they have only 0 ; Greenville and Spartanburg
should have 18, tbey have only 8: Kichlaod
and Orangeburg should have 15, they hnve
only 1U; Sumter and Marion should have 15,
they have only S.
Wit limit {fnllHf further lliotn tiirnrfi vllf
ficicni to indicate I lie pros* wroftg done in
postponing the enumeration, nnd the reapportionment
under it as expressly directed by the
Constitution. At the next State Convention,
called far the nomination of State officers,
which is tantamount to an election, this inequality
will transpire in a telling way. Doubling
the county delegation in Die Legislature
f< r represent atiou in the Convention, whilst
Charleston will have 28 delegates Kdgefield and
liornwell combined will have 24, although the
two counties have over .'50,000 more people than
Charleston couuty ; so Abbeville and Anderson
will have but 22, although they have over 20,
( 00 more people than Charleston county ;
Greenville and Spartanburg will have but 20,
though they have some 30,000 more people
than Charleston county. This same advantage
will entire to oiher counties in the State besides
Charlesion count}-, nnd we simply make the
comparison with it to make the statement more
incisive, as it enjoys above all other counties a
larger representation than belongs to it with a
fair enumeration at this date.
We do not pretend to nice accuracy in the
figures given. We have allowed Greenville
and Spartanburg a larger iucreasc from 1871'
to 188o than any of the other counties, and
Charleston couniy the least increase of all on
the figures of 1880. We take it, however, that
we have not varied far from the true state of
the case.
We thus may eee at a glance what a disturbing
element has been thrown into the next
campaign by the Assembly failing to do its
sworn duty. There is absolutely no excuse
for it, and we sincerely trust that the popular
condemnation will make such a demoralizing
incident in the legislation of the State a political
impossibility hereafter."
1 hove prefixed this quotation from the
Columbia llrgishr, to show that I am not nlone
in my opinion of the rejection of the census
Act of the House of Itepresentatives by the
Senate, ut each session of the last General Assembly.
I maintain thai it was the <luty, as it was
the right, of the Ilouso to have stood upon its
remedy, to withhold the supplies, by a Itrm refusal
to pass the appropriated bill ? the only
civil remedy they could interpose in behalf of
an outraged people, whose solemn covenant,
the Constitution, they hail sworn to protect.
This effort failed injuriously by a majority of
se\en votes : when but a short time previous
the census appropriation bill, thesame measure,
had passed the House by h majority of four to
one.
Centuries ago this same abuse of the rights
of the people and taxing them without representation,
was contemptuously practiced in
England by Charles I, his Ministers and
Parliament. And Charles hiir.self, with his
vile .Ministers and members of Parliamcnnt,
who would heed no warning, were thrown into

at ihe head of the substantial farmers of the
comity attd time. Again in 177G the great
Southern farmer was placed at the bead of
American farmers to dispute the tight of Great
Britain to tax Iter colonics without representation.
The result was. as you know, the establishment
of that right, and the building of this
grand confederacy of States, now numbering
more than fifty millions of peap'e, with wealth
and power too vast almtsl for conception.
Vet the rulers of these people, when made their
servants, often seek to be their maulers and
should be taught to retnembor that they, too,
can be brought to judgment by that same juat
and conservative clement. 11. II. Hick.

WASHINGTON LCI ?B.
(/Voni Unr llryulor C'>rr< poiui- nt.)
Washington, Jan. '5, 1HFG.
Some of the members of the House have already
returned from their holiday vacation,
and the probability is that nearly nil will bo
here to hear the announcement of the committees
to-day. The session will then begin in
earnest. The important matters being talked
about by the members here are the silve^
question, the coast defense, the reconstruction of
the navy, the tariff question, an ! the probabilities
of increased appropriations under the new
distribution plan. Tho committees arc more
i It mi tr It ( nf thnn tnlkp'l nf .liiilmmr from tint
views expressed by a large number of representatives.
the impression seems to be that a
large number of the members of both parties
and repreeentiug inland as well as coast districts,
favor liberal appropriations for coast defenses,
for the navy and for the construction of
ordnance. There will Lc qniie a number of
general tariff hills introduced, and very many
more relating to specific duties. O.ic introduced
by either Morrison, Mills, or Hewitt will ho
reported by the ways nud means committee,
and it is thought that there will be some sort o'
legislation on the question.
Th? silver question will probably be the ilrs*
fO come up, and it is the most threatening.
Many members are talking of a compromise.
The radical silver men, however, say there
will be no legislation whatever on tin; subject,
and in this some of the most extreme suspensionists
agree with them.
There was quite a sensation in the diplomatic
Corps last week over a social phenomena,
which none of the members had ever observed
before, and which will furnish them food foi:
discussion for many a day. The unmarried
ministers and attaches of legtions received
calls from a lady?the wife of a high official,
who is new in Washington. Thoy had all c died
upon her, and I suppose she considered it
her duty to return the visits and did up the
whole list regardless of whether tliev were
bachelors or benedicts. She had no idea of
the impropriety of the net, for she is a iady of
modesty and refinement, but unfortunately is
not familiar with the social code. Very few of
the diplomatists were ever so severely startled
as when her card was sent un to tlteni with the
information that she was waiting, unattended,
in the parlor below.
Some asked to he excused, as their souse of
propriety led them to avoid a tetc-a-ietu with a
lady of such distinction; but others, sttpp tsing
it was one of the customs of this land of the free
and equal for women of social position to call
upon gentlemen at their lodgings, received her
cordially and exchanged eom diinents as they
would with any visitor. A few of them are unable
to speak any English at all, and as the
lady is familliar with no language hut her own
the situation was comical enough.
There will he a rather remarkable scene in
the Senate as soon as Congress reconvenes.
Senator lieck will at once renew his attack upon
the financial policy of the administration,
which will tie defended by Sena'ors .Morrill,
Sherman. Edmunds, llawloy and other republicans.
It will be the first time in the lrstary of
the country. 1 believe, when a democratic President
hn,s depended up n republican S. uators to
defend him against attacks frotn his own parly.
Unfortunately, the linking men en the democratic
side of the Senate do i:ot agree with the
President upon the most important features of

A Christmas Trip.

The christuins holi lays are over, and we
have, as it were, turne I a new leaf in the hock

going hack and taking a review of the old b .ok .
We are thinking of the many pleasant fan's wc
met, and of the beautiful weather we ha l during
those pleasant days.
We left your town on the -"?th, and thought
of the old adage, "pleas in' roads inako pleasant
drives, pleasant thoughts make pleasant
lives.". We ha.l not gone far before we came
to a lovely, quiet little town, ami there we met
a host of good friends both old and young,
all seemed to say. by their action* which always
"speak louder than words,' thank <1 >d
for another christtnas day.
The first thing that attracted my attention
was a company of children marching with banner
furled. I have forgotten the in it to on
thnt beautiful banner, but 1 was told that it
was leading a ltaml of Hope, and 1 thought
how appropriate were the words, /?m l of II ; f
