This report shows that Charleston has not only munufully struggled through a year of great business depression, but that their are signs of improvement and progress visible everywhere. The total trade for the year amounts to $04,512,- ptO, as against $75,115,100. This shows tcib ni ; liimiwr*+£ dollars; but when tho distressingly short crops of 1883 arc taken into con sideration, tho wonder is that the defi cit is not much larger. Tho fact of the matter is that while Charleston lacks much of the go-a- headativeaess of many of our Ameri can cities, no city fn the Union can boast of a more honorable and intelli gent business community, or more thoroughly safe and honest commer cial methods. It is the thorough con fidence inspired by these causes which always enables her to weather a com mercial crisis with far less strain and disaster than falls to the lot of many of her pretentious rivals. We take the following from the lead ing editorial of the News and Courier of yesterday: It is great cause for congratula tion that .South Carolina and Charles ton should have borne so well the **l>runt of such a year as that which ended yesterday. Btrietly speaking, there has not been a single commer cial failure in Charleston during the year on account of the failure of the crops and the dullness of trade. This proves that business here is in a heal thy condition; and that the people of the State in general, if they have no money to spare, are at least not in deul to any embarrassing extent. The tables published elsewhere to day show the extent of Charleston’s business during the commercial year 1883-84, the total amount being $84,- 512 IHO, against $75,115,400 in 1882-83. Considerably more than one-half of the loss in the amount of business is in upland cotton, and the bulk of the remainder is naturally enough, in the amount of the general wholesale and retail trade of the city. In naval stores and phosphate rock, in fertiliz ers and in cotton goods the fall ing oil' is small, and the local manu factures shows a small increase. This is an excellent sign, and must impress upon the Charleston public the great importance of multiplying those small industries which yield a large return in proportion to the amount of capital invested in them. There is room for many minor industries in Charleston which would give employment to per sons wlto now iind it diilieuit to ob tain occupation, and which will return a larger proportionate profit than the more ambitious undertakings to which we are accustomed to look. The city is in readiness for all the business that can be attracted here in the new eommereia! year. The wharves and warehouses are in excel lent order. The cotton presses have no superiors anywhere. The rail roan wharves permit bulky freights to bt* handled with close economy, and stops are taking to put the raihoads iu di rect communication with every wharf • mi the eastern front of the city. In what is said in the Annual Review concerning the extension of Charles ton’s trade will be found the proo; that th** dealers here are aiive to the Responding to the Call. It affords us infinite pleasure to pub lish the following resolution, handed to us yesterday by that estimable citi zen and devoted minister of the Gos pel, the Rev. J. C. Browne: At tlie Union meeting of the First Division cf the Edisto Baptist Associ ation, which convened at Darien, Au gust 30th, the following resolution was heartily approved and unanimously adopted:— Resolveel, That this Union heartily endorses the call for a County Tem perance Convention, and recommend to tho churches the propriety of con sidering this call and sending a dele gation to the convention. The long roll is heating and the good citizens of Aiken County are quietly mustering their forces. Tho doom of the liquor trallie Is sealed if our peo ple will manfully perform their duty. We have an enemy of great power to fight, therefore we urge the friends of good citizenship, morality and reli gion to organize thoroughly and to send full delegations to the October convention. We want to see every township well represented. Remem ber that the liquor traffic must go. An Error Corrected. At the conclusion of an article in our issue of August 19th, correcting certain inaccuracies of statement con cerning ourselves by the Greenville News, we used the following lan guage: “Our cotemyovary of The Greenville News, if we mistake not, sent out cir cular in 1881 looking to tne formation of a new party of some sort, which somehow or other never made a start.” Our cotemporary of the News says “Our friend of The Recorder is wrong in its recollections and sur mises.” We do not desire to do injustice to any cotemporary, especially to one who lias been so vigorous a worker in the Democratic cause as the Greei - ville News. Although the impression on our mind was very strong that we had received such a circular in 1881, yet in the absene of any corroborative evidence wo cheerfully accept the de nial of our cotemporary. We arc always very careful about questions of fact, and regret that in this instance our memory should have led us into error. A grand Cleveland and Hendricks demonstration was made on Thurs day night last by the Irish voters of ^.V 'Ti’.i'^.-pTuiKK'iKui \!T";jic New Ti ork Academy of Music was crowd/xl to its utmost capacity by an enthusiastic audience. United States .Senator Jones, of Florida, was the principal speaker of the evening, Resolutions endorsing Cleveland and Henrieks and expressing undying al legiance to the Democratic party were passed amidst great enthusiasm. The war between France and China is actively progressing. Thus far the French have had it all their own way. On the 23rd of August the port of Foo-Chow Mas bombarded and nine Chinese msn of war and twelve junks were sunk. The French loss was only six killed and twenty-seven wounded. The Chinese loss is esti mated at 1,000 killed and 3,000 wounded. The Cholera. Spread of the The Medical News of Philadelphia published the following editorially in Sunday’s paper: The outlook in France, Italy and Switzerland is not as good as it 'was a week ago, and the late increase of the cholera at Toulon would seem to indi cate that the disease has lost none of its force in the quarter where it lirst made its appearance over two months ago. It gradually spread throughout Southern and Eastern France, cross ing the Alps and invading Italy and Switzerland on the one hand, and triking eastward to the Bay of Ben gal on the other, would lead us to fear that the prophecy of Professor Koch may yet he verified, that all Europe will suiler with the scourge before it takes its final departure. In our own country we have so far been very for tunate in escaping both yellow fever and cholera, though more than once threatened by yellow fever ships, and it least once by a cholera infected ves sel. Tin* vaunted sanitary precautions suggested as preventive of cholera, ind inaugurated in many of the vil- oi N* ranee, lias, it is stated, pruved elleetu il in stavi ■ig the* progress of the disease. Whether lids he true or not wo cannot afford to relax our own etree's in ’.ids direction, and we believe that it is incumbent upon all our health authorities, municipal, Slate and government, to continue the work of keeping our cities and our shipping clean. We may escape this year. The probabilities now are that we will. Put the past history of this disease warns us that so long as it is in Europe we are in danger, and that winters is no -al'oguard against its progress. I heretorc it behooves us to keep up tho tight against tilth in every form and leave no place for the disease to oi’iaiii iootinff. It strikes us that black uses of the eri lten (’arson is o' offered by his 1 Thompson, is a H*id besides, tiles in the Proelamati tive’s capture more doubtful. In all ea ; es where desperate men are hunted down, taken, and handed over to the proper authorities, it is not for the love of such work, nor for the purpose of making the captors heroes, but solely to obtain the price placed upon the head; but where tho conviction is made necessary to secure that juice, as in the case of Carson, there are few men w ho undertake the work of cap ture, and more particularly when there is more or less expense to be borne in the search. The Governor’s course may be strictly in accordance with the law’s provisions; if so, it is un fortunate for the State. The capture of Carson without conviction, would in justice to those interested, and to tho^c implicated, be worth to the State every dollar of the reward offered. For the benefit of our Barnwell friend we would state that Governor Thompson is acting in strict conform ity to tho law. The stipulations re garding payment on conviction, and also tli 3 limit of the amount of the reward are expressly provided for by Statute. The law allows no discre tion in the matter, but we think the law should be amended so as to meet the well founded objections of our Barnwell cotemporary.—Ed. Aiken Recorder. A CIRCUS CAU ON FIRE. Nine 3Icn Burned to Death and oth ers Fatally injured—An Appalling Spectacle to Colorado. Greeley, Col., August 29.—The burning of a circus car nine miles north of tills place early this morning was attended with indescribable hor ror. The burned car was next to the engine in a train of seventeen ears containing Orton’s Anglo-American Circus, which left Fort Collins about midnight last night for Golden, over the Greeley, Salt Lake and Paeilic Railroad. The train was nearing Windsor, a small station near Gree ley, when Engineer Colprist discover ed the car to be on fire and at once re versed his engine and threw open the whistle valve. There were sixty men in the car, ar ranged in three tiers of bunks on either side. The forward side door was closed. Seven men in bunks were sleeping against it. The rear side door was also closed, anil the men who awoke discovered the lower unoccu pied berth next to it, containing rub bish, on lire,filling the ear with smoke, and cutting off escape in that direc tion. The only means of egress was through a small window between the ear and engine. John Pine Edgerton of Wisconsin and Elmer Millet of Iowa crowded through this opening and tried to pass in water from the engine tank. Owing to suffocating gases it was diilieuit to arouse the sleepers, and some were kicked and bruised in a shocking manner, and pitched out of the window. The screams of those who were un able to get through the blockade to the aperture were terrifying. The wild beasts in the adjoining car became frantic with terror, making the scene appalling. The engine went to Gree- ALU. il'^IA.' .. Il Dr. Jessie Howes, the president of the •State Medical Association. Many of the rescued in being pulled through the small windows of the car had their limbs broken and their joints disloca ted. At daylight a fiat car carried the charred bodies into Greeley for inter meat. The county commissioners buried the remains in a coffin seven feet wide and ten feet long in Greeley cemetery. The Rev. Mr. Reed, a Presbyterian minister, conducted the funeral services. The coroner impair el led a jury, but they were unable to learn the cause of the fire or any im- portaut facts, as the managers with the remainder of the company left im mediately for Golden to fill an after noon engagement.

Eufaula, Ala., August 28.—Great excitement prevails in this section over thirty-two cases, more or less, of vio lently developed hydrojihobia on the plantation of Mr. Punch Doughtie, live or six miles from this city. Dr. E. B. Johnston, who was called in to attend the suflereis, returned this af ternoon and reports three cases des perate, one in delirium and one so low that death is cxjtectcd at any time. The history of tho case is that a dog on Doughtie’s place went mad on July 25, and bit a mule and several hogs. The first hog died on August 13 and was given to the negroes on the place to make soap grease. Instead of doing so they ate it. On August 18th two hogs died, one on the 22d and one on the 27th. Of these hogs thirty-two people ate. Eleven days after eating of the first hog ten jjersons were taken violently sick with the symptoms of poison, and the others were seized in rotation just according to tho time at which tho subsequent hogs were eaten until the entire thirty-two jieoplewere attacked. The mule first, bitten made a fero cious ultack on Mr. Doughtie on 8ut- urday lust. After bitting the animal he was riding, and Doughtie dismount ing, In* had a race for life with the mail hoa-.t and only escaped by tiie narrowest chance, the mule running against a fence post in his wild charge an I being knocked senseless, just as Doughtie was sealing the fence. The Hon. Frank Hurd, the d’stip guished tariff reformer of Ohio, ha been re-nominated for Congress. ’ r i Protectionists ran Judge Merrill, tLo v strongest man, against him, baXj Hurd’s friends were in tho majority* Mr. Hurd is a splendid sjieaker an*' a very able man, and if he is returneo again to Congress he will exercise great influence in that body., The scandals are playing out, ant have neither candidate, as they shoulc not have done, but have brought dis grace upon those who precipitatec them into the canvass.
