I." -The storm ol'Sunday evening, Sic 16th in? stant, was a full-grown tornado in St. Louis, tear? ing down buildings, scattering cidra oles and eve? rything movable, lifting men od* their reef, and causing a panic all over the city There was a terrible scene at the Varieties Theatre, which was crowded Sunday night. Thc beams or the roor cracked and groaned under thc tierce blasts, un til finally a portiou crashed in, and the audience with oue accord made a frantic rush ror avenues of escape. The approaches to thc doors became choked by a courused, screaming mass of scared humanity, while those who were fortunate enough to be nearest the doors tumbled down stairs headlong, or any other way they could, and com? municated the alarm outside. But the number behind in the building that could not get out was far the largest, and the scene was' piti? ful and appalling. A rush was made Tor the win? dows; scores or men Jumped over luto the par? quette and mailc their way to the stage. Tlie side windows opening on thc alley were burst open, and men precipitated themselves down to the ground, a height or Qftecnor twenty feet, with perfect recklessness of limb and life. Rut it was at 'he main exit doors and stairways that the worst crash occurred. Men were thrown down or fcl> and trampled upon by thc#nsane, panic-stricken mob, or crashed agalust the walls until their ribs cracked or broke. Women fainted and reached the open air they knew not how. At the Olympic theatre, where there were religious services, thc audience left in the middle of the sermon, wrench isp on" doors and bursting out windows in the rush Tor safety. Thc Platform of thc South Carolann Democracy. J Radicalism can be met and overthrown at the general elections, which take place in, October next. A bold, straightforward, manly opposition to the ruling party: this j opposition made vigorous and popular by A LIVING POLICY; this, opposition, and this livhig.policy, made invincible by unflagging enenrv aud uuited and harmonious labor: - - a these will redeem our people, and restore South Carolina to tlie desirable rule of intel? ligence, integrity and worth. The three conditions are mutually dependent 011 each other. A vigorous attack avails nothing if the battle be not wisely planned, and thc attack and tlie plan of battle will not insure victory unless the troops be armed with tren? chant blades which shall dint and pierce tlic sable armor of the foe. Aud the one great weapon to be wielded in the coming contest with Soutli Carolina Radicalism is-A POLICT OF TUE PRESENT AND FUTURE; A LIBERAL, BROAD AND PROGRESSIVE POLICT ADAPTED TO TUB WANTS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TIMES. The details of this policy-the platform of the South Carolina Democracy in the State elections-need not bc defined at this time. It is important, however, to declare at once what are the points to be insisted ou, that we may begin the cauvass with hope, carry it on with confidence, and crowu its close with tidings of great joy. 1. The Democracy of South Carolina must look to the present and future, and uot to the past. They must submit to the inevita? ble necessities of thc political situation; hav? ing, however, no part or fellowship, upon any terms, with South Carolina Radicalism. 2. The civil and political equality of the colored people with the white race, under thc laws of thc State and tlie United States, must be frankly admitted and acknowledged. 3. Tlie declaration should be reiterated th;rt what reforms we need must Le obtained by constitutional means and agencies alono. .1. And to the people of South Carolina, white and colored, should be made this sim? ple statement : We come bef jre yo^as the party of justice and equal rights, as the party of honest government and low taxation. We come efore you pledged lo represent equally and faithfully every class of people, to encourage and protect every interest, to, admit no monopoly and to put down class legislation, to maintain the Stale credit and pay faithfully every dollar of her just debts. This is promising no more than we can and will perform. It gives to the colored people as much as they have, as much as they are entitled to, and all that they expect ; it bolds the white people Dimly together; and it unites the whites and "the blacks in the common cause of good governmeut and opposition to Radical corruption. The Workingmen'* Library and Read? ing Room. We were in error the oilier day in saying that it is proposed to establish a free library and reading-room for the use of tlie Work ingmen's Union. The scheme is not in any way connected with that organization, and is intended for the belie?t of Hie working? men of thc city, whether they are. or are not, members of ?tile Union. A? soon as enough money is collected to put tlie project on its legs, a meeting of tlie subscribers will bc called, and they will elect proper persons to take charge of tho institution. The move? ment, as we have already said, is an admi? rable one, and we hope that our citizens will not hesitate to make tlie small donations ex? pected from them. THE text of the Fifteenth amendment, which now needs but the affirmation of one more State if Kew York be counted, and two if it lie not counted, is as follows: ARTICLE 15, SECTION 1. The right of citizens of the L'nitcd Stales to vote shall not bc de? nied or abridged by thc United States, or by any State, on account of nice, color, or pre? vious condition of servitude. SECTION 2. Congress shall have power to eu force this article by appropriate legislation. The action of Nebraska, Georgia and Texas is considered sure in favor of tlie amendment. Qpr Washington Specials. The public have not failed to notice that THE NEWS is steadily ahead of its contem? poraries in the imporant intelligence flashed over thc wires by its wide-awake corres? pondent at the National Capital. During the debates on the admission of Georgia and Virginia, our special telegrams have kept our readers fully advised of the intentions and temper of thc Executive and Congress: and we often have thc pleasure, as this morning, cf laying before thc public striking information, which cannot be ob? tained by the worn-out agencies in which other journals repose exclusive trust. The truth of it is, that, no man can keep up witli the times unless lie regularly reads the special telegrams in THE NEWS. Greenville Railroad Stock. Our excellent contemporary, Hie Anderson Intelligencer, is sadly annoyed because the press of Charleston, and Columbia advised the stockholders of the Greenville and Co? lumbia Railroad Company to see whether they could uot get a better price before they, '.in desperate haste," sold their stock at ten cents on thc dol lar, or two dollars a share. The Intelligencer is "inclined to think that "they have acted wisely in disposing of their "stock at two dollars per share,'' because "a paid agent," who offered the stockhold? ers two dollars and a half a share had not "thc necessary means to make such pur "chases."* Our contemporary adds that "thc prospect of getting better terms from the "South Carolina Railroad or any other cor? poration fades away into the dim distance," and mildly asks, "what higher valuation "(than 82) is now placed upon the stock ?" We doubt not that more is known in An? derson of the diflereut schemes of selling out the Greenville Road than is likely to be known in Charleston, but we may say that \persons are now in the market who are ready to buy up the Greenville stock?t two and a half dollars a share, and weRelieve, be? sides, that the stockholders can secure bet? ter terms than those which were submitted Uo their board a few weeks ago. And wc would ask the Intelligencer whether it is consistent with the duties und responsi? bilities of a director, or trustee, of a corpora? tion to entertain proposals to sacrilico the property* of the stockholders in a way that cuts oft" all competition ? I? it just or generous to close the door to ne? gotiation, and then attempt to force the stockholders into selling their stock for a trille by stating that, unless that be ac? cepted, the stock will beeraluoless ? We do not think that the Intelligencer eau applaud this way of performing a public and impor? tant duty. While on this subject we may mention, as a strange circumstance, the receipt by a number of stockholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad in Charleston of a letter from the secretary of the company, asking them to sell their stock at ten cents on thc dollar. The friends of President Hammett declare, on his authority, that he had nothing to do with this stock specula? tion, and he will, doubtless, be surprised to hear that a paid officer of his company is in the market buying up its stock. 13oar?mg.
