COLUMBIA, 8. C.
Wednesday Morning, March 17,1876.
Ia his recently published interview,
Governor Chamberlain informs the
pnblio that he owns ia part, bat does
not inspire the utterances of, the
Union-Herald. A*k the editor, he says,
and "be will tell you that I never dic?
tated a word or line for that paper."
More's the pity. It sadly Deeds a guar?
dian. It makes a specialty of systematic
disparagement of gentlemen who have
given the Governor a generous and
unaelfl?h support. It seeks to throw
down the oolnmns opon whioh he
leans. It affects to believe that tbe
Conservatives have entered into a ooali
tion with oorrnpt Badioals, to seeoure
offices and divide tbe profits; that they
are taking advantage of their mistakes,
and laying snares for their unwary
feet. This sort of treattneut of
those, who, sinoe he laid the founda?
tions of his policy in his inaugural
message, have ohoriahed the Go?
vernor in their own regards, and
Bought to commend him to the most
intelligent and npright of his own
political faith, to say the least of it, is
causeless, undeserved and hurtful.
There is more than the lack of appre?
ciation in it; there is more, even, than
injustice. It tends to sap the good
understanding of elements whose only
bond of union is the poblio good.
Why this persistent detraction? It is
either, a thing of habit, reokless and
unmeaning, or it is designed as a lash
to drive Conservatives from maintain?
ing their own proper position. If the
latter, we have to say that this journal
has no ' right' to spread a Procustean
oouoh for those who support the Go?
vernor, and then to mutilate their
honest opinions, and suppress their
sincere convictions, in order to qualify
them to lie upon it. If it come from
ugly habit and be the ordinary pastime,
indulged in, in this instance, from lack
of discrimination, in forbidden fields, it
may, perhaps, be pardoned on this ao
oonut. But it looks unseemly. It is
gratifying to know, however, that the
Governor holds himself aloof from
any participation in the evil insinua?
tions and mischievous imputations,
directed against those of whom he
doss not say too mach when he admits
that their oourse towards him and his
administration has been "marked by
great political generosity and patriot?
ism." A newspaper may well be free,
untrammeled and outspoken, and yet
abstain from a style of remark, viola
tive of propriety, bordering on sense?
lessness, glaring and offensive in per?
version, and injariooa to tbe best con?
servative influences?those wbioh rise
above party?in tbe Slate.

The General Assembly convened in

upon tbe address to the Governor for

Messrs. Porter, C. D. Melton and You

nounced that the joint assembly was

to do justioe to the Treasurer, the
General Assembly or the importaut
matters in issue. Ho uekod to be al?
lowed till Thursday, 18th instaut, at

quest, representing bis own aud his
colleague's unfamiliarity with the olass
of papers, books of aooount, &o.,
whioh it was their duty, in the clroum
stanoes in whioh they were placed, to
examine with oare. The Senate re?
tired to its own ball to consider the

by a vote of yeas 85, nays~17.

of banditti?real banditti, mind you?

sixteen dead victims of the disaster
were tossing in the surf beside them.
Breaking into the wine casks, they in?

a wild and bloody conflict, fatal to

Spain ought to consider herself

cluding Verona, Ryan, Ceepedes, and

shell ont about $102,500 to Unole
Sam. It isn't every man who would
value his life ae low as $2,500 even in
Spanish gold. In view, however, of the
implied apolqgy of Spain, and the
acknowledgment of the fact that ehe
had been guilty of violating the lawe
of nations, perhaps our people will be
satisfied with the settlement.

Texas is lucky, aud Galvestau will
be apt to iuHUgnrate direct trade by a
line of steamers sooner than any other
Southern city. A company has been
formed in London, with a capital of
?3,000.000, for the purpose of carrying
live cattle from Galveston to England.
They propose to briog emigrants and
merchandise, back. The agent of tbe
company has already arrived, aud tbe
first steamer is now due at Galveston.
The vessels of tbe line are fitted up
with a series of conueoted hammocks
for scouring cattle on voyages, and it
is believed by procuring stock at low
prices at the source of supply, a great
profit can be realized. Each steamer
will curry about 15,000 bead of cattle,
and make tbe outward passage iu
about sixteen days.

similar to that of the apostles on the
day of Pentecost. He has always been
held in high esteem by the Irish,

Thb Tobwado? Loss or Inn ajtd
Pbopbbty. ?The tornado referred to
in yesterday's Pncamx, whioh occurred
on Monday afternoon, on Mill Creek,
was very disastrous, bat fortunately,
we have reason to believe, did not ex?
tend moro than four or Ovo miles. The
storm first struck Mr. Padgett's pre?
mises, where a colored mau waa killed
and auuther had his leg broken and
his baok seriously injured. The dwell?
ing was completely demolished, tbe
mill-bouse blown into tbe pond, tbe
cotton bcrew overthrown, a team of
mules, with the wagon, was carried by
tbo force of tbe wind into the pond,
and two of tbe animals drowned. Mr.
Champuy was badly hurt by falling
timbers. About \yl miles beyond,
tbe tornado, in ita Notherly course,
did tbe greatest injury to life aud
limb. Here Mr. Wm. Davia' house
was wrecked, hi* young daughter
killed, aud his wife aud a young lad
living there severely injured. Half a
mile further on, tbe roof of Mr. Jan.
Thomas' houso was torn off, aud other
serious damage done to his property,
and Brown's Methodist Chapel de?
molished. The storm bad cot spent its
fury when it reached this last men?
tioned place, and fears are entertained,
from the velocity and magnitude of
the tornado, that considerable damage
to life and property was inflicted at
other points before the force of tbe
wind was exhausted. Even in Colum?
bia there were visible effects of the
power of tbo tornado, as leaves and
other evidenoes of the mighty wind
were seen driven furiously through the
city. We await further particulars of
