LONDON, xVuguat.20.-The rioting in
Belfast oontinned without abatement
yesterday, despite the warning proclama?
tion of the mayor and magistrates. The
fighting was kept up by parties of riot?
ers in various quarters, with stones,
bludgeons and fire-arms. The magis?
trates began yesterday to swear in speoial
constables, to assist in suppressing the
disturbances. A proclamation was issued
by the mayor, authorizing the troops
holding the streets to fire upon all riot?
ous assemblages offering r?sistance. AU
atores were dosed, and business was en?
tirely suspended. Additional troops

their inability to restore order, surren?
dered the control of the city into the
hands of the militory; thus practically
establishing martial law. The command?
ing officer of the troops issued a procla?
mation, warning all quietly disposed citi?
zens to romain in their houses, and stat?
ing that every person found on the
streets would bo looked upon as a rioter,

to suppress the disorders.

Eerfeot is the illusion that one imagines

position. The triumph of the artist is
complete."

THE ARMED FORCE.-Senator Smalls
publishes the following explanation:
I Bee that "Bobert Smalls, colored
State Senator from Beaufort County," is
accredited as having received the amount
of $500 from that appropriation. Now,
I will here state that I drew tho amount
of $500 from the appropriation to orga?
nizo and eqnip the militia, and for
whioh I performed the following ser?
vice: Pursuant to instructions from the
Adjutant-General, and ns Lieutenant
Colonel, I proceeded to organize the
Third Begiment N. G. S. C., paying tho
freight on 1,000 stand of arms, accoutre?
ments, &a, whioh were shipped to mo
from Columbia, these arms and accou?
trements being reshipped by mo through
various portions of tho County. In ad?
dition to this, I was compelled to travel
through the County in tho discharge of
my duties as mustering officer.
For these services, I drew the nmonnt
of $500, as above stated, but it is tho
first time I was aware that it was from
the "armed force." as I know of no ser?
vices ever performed by me that could
be properly paid for out of that appro?
priation.

The following accounts are giveu of
probably the most terrible storm on re?
cord, which ocourred last Thursday:
AWFUL EFFECTS OF TUE LIGHTNING IX
MASSACHUSETTS.-We have in our office
men who havo sailed ou every Bea, and
have been in all the lightning places of
the earth, and they declaro that they
never witnessed anywhere such scenes as
enveloped this vicinity about midnight.
The hurricane and the oyclouo are gene?
rally accompanied by terrific lightning
and thunder, but the driving tempest
8weops these before it, and gives variety
even to tho terrible; while last night it
seemed as if Hoavon and earth wero in a
blaze, aud both bursting asunder. Until
thu heavens shall pass uway like a scroll,
tho clements shall melt with fervent
heat, and the world itself bo burned up,
we do not expect to witness such another
sceuo. Now the storm is past, the sun
is out in all his glory, aud a gent?o
breeze from the South-west is bearing
aeawurd white fleecy clouds, thc har?
bingers of pleasant weather. During
tho tirst storm, and at ubout half-past ?
P. M., the Mount Pleasant Unitarian
Church at tho Highlands, was struck by
lightning and set on fire, but thu flames
wore extinguished without an alarm.
The spire was somewhat shattered, and
this will undoubtedly necessitate a com?
plete reconstruction of that portion of
thu edifice. Tho damage will not proba?
bly exceed 82,0??. The building was
not guarded with lightning-rods. At
Statiou ?, tho brass work on the telegra?
phic instrument was melted by tho elec?
tric fluid, and Sergeant Wood, who wtu
reading a paper some ten feet from tin
machine, waa struck aud rendered iuseu
sible for a time. Lieutenant Hasting:
had loft his chair, close to tho machine
but a moment previous to tho uccideu
to shut the wiudows of tho guard-room
13y thia mere accident, he probably
escaped death. At S o'clock, tho storn
abated, the lightning ceased its vivh
flashes, and all supposed that the storn
was over, but at midnight tho skies wen
again darkened, thu rain began to fall it
sheets, and the whole firmament was li
up with the sudden and almost blindinj
flashes of the lightning.
One peculiarity of this storm was th
long coutiuuanoe of tho flashes. Tc
ward the latter part of its duration th
flashes would follow each other so rapid
ly that the Heavens were illumined fu
several seconds, when tho intense ligl
would be succeeded by Egyptian durp
ness, while the Heavens wero cocstaotl
reverberating with tho terrific reports c
the thunder, some of them short un
quick, like the crack ot u rifle; othet
deep und of long continuance, like tb
distant roar of artillery. Those wh
were compelled to remain upon th
streets were almost struck dumb wit
I fear at the near approuch of tho tieotr
fluid, and tho terrifying detooatioi
which followed. Fur nearly an hour tl
storm raged, tho elements combining I
make ono of tho most grand and appal
ing scenes ever witnessed in this cit;
The air was completely full of electric
ty, and the fluid passed along tho wir
over the houses, driving tho night op
rators away from their instrumente, ai
compelling all to seek cover. The scei
down thu harbor was sublime; the su
den flashes of lightning caused the shi
ping to stand for an instant in bold i
lief, when, as it appeared, a cloud
inky blackness instantaneously cover
the scene. The waters wero lashed in
fary, and the hoarse cries of the sailoi
as they moved about on the alert to ave
the threatened disasters, only served
heighten the efleet. Many of the ci
zens who had retired for the night wc
compelled to rise for fear that tho flu
would ignite tho buildings, if the t
scending bolts did not strike them,
the suburban towns the storm seems
have been as furious as in tho ci
From South Boston, Chelsea, Cambrai?
Malden, and other places, reports of
terrific nature have been received. Cc
siderable damago was done to proper
but as yet no deaths resulting from 1
storm have been reported, and this m
well be looked upon ns wonderful, wt
we consider the fury of the storm a
the frequency with which tho bolts i
soended.-Bonton Traveler.
THE WORST STOKM EVEU KNOWN
Presently tho rain descended, the ltg
nings began to play and the thunder
roar. This was about 2 o'clock. I
very few minutes the storm was at
height, and raged with a fury suflici
to appal tho stoutest hearts. Tho
mosphere was entirely surcharged w
electricity, and each flash of the fl
was almost blinding. Us elTuct upon
police and fire telegraph in oor ol
was rather alarming-the current com
in upon the wires and playing about
instroment in a sort of demon's dat
The ground wire is affixed to the j

This storm passed away after about
hour's duration. It was followed
another equally severe, bot with tho

to have exhausted itself, the san

331 ELECTRIC DISCHARGES IN SEVEN
MINUTES.-A most remarkable exhibition
of atmospheric electricity took place in
Arlington, between 12 nnd 1 o'clock.
Brilliant streams of the elcotrio fluid
darted athwart the sky in every direc?
tion, and the thunder which followed
was constant for a period of thirteen
minutes, without the intormicsion of sn
instance of silence. One flash of light?
ning followed another in suoh rapid suc?
cession us to excito curiosity to know
how niauy occurred iu a minute. With
watch in hand, I counted them for seven
minutes. First minute, there were 51
vivid flashes; second minute, there were j
42 vivid flashes; third minute, thero wore
30 vivid flashos; fourth minute, there
were 47 vivid flashes; fifth minuto, thero
were 37 vivid flashes; sixth minute, there
were 01 vivid flashos; seventh minute,
there were 54 vivid flashes; making 331
discharges of electricity in aoven mi?
nutos, distinctly visible from ono point;
and each discharge wus followed by loud
and sometimes rattling reports, whoso
reverberations rolled through the hea?
vens in an endless procession of majestic
aud terrille sounds.-New Haven Journal.
To Oe? DELEGATES.-You have been
olectcd to aid in selecting a State ticket
for tho Republican party. You profess
tho strongest attachment to that party
aud earnest ly desire its success at the
polls. It, therefore, beoomes you to
consider well what kind of men you pro?
pose to support in the conventiou. We
know that you now profess to be in
favor of honost aud capable men to fill
the honorable and responsible plaoes of
Governor, Lieuteuaut-Goveruor, Secre?
tary of State, Treasurer, Attorney-Gene?
ral, Comptroller, Superintendent of
Education and Adjutant-General.
You have expressed a determination
to rebuke corrupt men, and wo doubt
not ure sincere. But when yon get to
Columbia, influences, which are now
mado powerless by distance, will be
brought to bear upon you, and the
pressure will be irresistible, unless you
are nerved to resistance by the sternest
determination to do right.
Ono thing you may rely upon. If you
put up a bud ticket, it will be defeated.
Tho people aro disgusted with the mise?
rable failures of the party. A State in
which we have au immense majority of
the popular vote; in which we have
three-fourths of tho Legislature, all the
State offices, and cine-tenths of the1
County offices-this State ia reduced to
ruiu. It is a lie to oharge any part of
tho ? uUiro to the opposition. There I
never was a more inert, timid and
powerless minority in politics than that
of South Carolina. The onus of failure
is upou the Bepublican party, and no?
where else. The thinking portion of our
party know this aud are ashamed. If
you put up n bad ticket, ono that,
though it may not contain the names of
the ring, will yet represent its spirit, that
ticket will be repudiated in October.
Against it will be arrayed every honest
Bepublican in the State, every honest
Democrat-in fact, every honest man;
there will also be against it the whole
influence of the Federal Government,
and the unseen but powerful sympathy
of the people of the United States.
[Beaufort Republican.
THE ELECTION IS MAINE.-ThiB is the
first State election which will attraot any
general attention. It is very evident,
from the frantic appeals and the extraor?
dinary efforts that are being made by the
Administration party to save the State,
that they do not feel very ea6y, and are
alarmed at the prospeots before them.
Appeals are daily going up to Washing?
ton for help, both in documenta and
financial aid. Grant himself can see that
it will not answer to permit the Adminis?
tration Speaker of the lower boase of
Congress to be defeated, and that such a
result would be fatal to him in all the
elections which are to follow. It is
already apparent from the accounts
which come to us that the Republican
defection in Maine is very large. No
stone will be left unturned, no effort be I
spared, no point left untouched by the
"ads" in their desperation. The State
will be flooded with money in larger
quantities than ever before in a political
campaign in New England.
The Democrats and tho Liberal Re?
publicans have been making a vigorous
canvass thus far-a canvass already fruit?
ful in its results and auspicious in the
developments whioh it promises. They
do not mean to rest their case now, but
will oontinue the good work with an in?
creased vigor until the polls olose oe the
night of the 5th of September. Even
then they will still be vigilant and watch?
ful, note how the votes are canvassed,
and make sure that the North Carolina
gamo of oounting more votes than were
east is not repented by the Administra?
tion party there. The supporters of the |
Liberal ticket will bear in mind that they
have a desperate enemy and an unscru?
pulous foe to contend against-an oppo?
sition whioh will not stop at any device |
or trick to secure the advantage. Al?
though the Liberals already claim that
they have enough Republicans commit?
ted to their cause to secure the election
of their ticket, this will bo an incentivo
for more active work rather than for re?
laxing their efforts for tho balanco of the
campaign.-New York World.
WHO WILL GET THE MONEY.-The
ring Btole 85,000,000 of bonds, and now
want us to pay tho interest on thom.
So they propose to levy a Bpecial tax, to
bo collected next month, equal to all tho
taxes of last year. Then in November
they will collect another tax. When
they get this money they will cut and
run like Bullock, of Georgia, und Holden,
of North Carol'na.-Beaufort Times, Rep.
THE BANKRUPT LAW.-Mr. Clawaon,
one of tho registrara in bankruptcy for
this State, gives the following points in
regard to the Bankrupt Act:
As doubts have been expressed as to
tho oxtent of the relief afforded by tho
Bankrupt Act of 1867, and the several
amendments thereto, I deem it proper to
make tho following Btatement:
The amendment to the Aot, approved
10th Juno, 1872, allowa to the bankrupt
all the property exempted by the laws of
each State of force in 1871, in addition
to the $500 worth of property allowed
under the original Act.
Thia gives to each bankrupt in this
State $2,000 worth of property, to wit:
$1,000 worth of real estate and $1,000
worth of personal CBtate. After the
bankrupt has been discharged, this be?
comes his absolute estate, to dispose of
as he chooses, either by sale, gift, devise
or otherwise.
It is not necessary, as hus been sap?
posed, that the estate of tho person ap?
plying ?hall pay fifty per cent, of all hie
debts; but if tho estate which comes to
tho hands of the assignee is sufficient to
pay fifty per ceut. of his individual
debts, contracted since 1st January.
1869, exclusive of the debts contracted
before that time, he is entitled to a full
discharge from all his debts. If it is not
sufficient, still ho is discharged from all
individual debts contracted before that
timo, and from all his security debts,
whether coatractod before or after that
time, leaving nothing to bo paid but his
individual debts contracted after 1st
January, 1869.
THINK OF IT.-Under the infamous
validatiug bill, a special tax can be levied
at any time, by tho Stato Auditor, to pay
interest on stolen bonds. The ring at
Columbia ure trying to force the Auditor
to levy a special tax of niue mills on th?
dollar, to bo collected next month, and
then another tax of fourteen mills will
be collected in November. Can you
support the men who voted this money
out of your pockets? Can you expeot to
prosper under such ruinons and corrupt
taxation? Can you Bave anything for
your children and old age? We think
not.-Beaufort Times, Republican.
