COLUMBIA, S7?. Wednesday Morning, March 24,1875. Senator Dunn Elected Comptroller-Cen eral. The Genend Assembly, yesterday, elected Hon. T. C. Dunn, tbo Senator from Horry County, Couiptrollcr-Genornl ? by a triumphant majority over all candi? dates on tho first ballot. Out of 110 votes in the joint assembly, he received 127. Following so noon tho refusal by a strong vote to adopt the address for tho removal of the Treasurer?a measure whioh sprung from the investigations in which Senator Dunn has been engnged now for a twelvemonth, and with which ho wit4 identified ?m tho principal lender in it?it denotes a curious and not un gratifying result. Tho same influences which spared tho Treasurer in the one case, have made his chief prosecutor his official superior in tho other, and pnts another chock upon any tendency to irregularity whioh may exist It virtu tdly says to Mr. Cardozo, we wero un? willing to positively condomn you, forming a part, as you do, of an admi? nistration to whioh we otherwise take no exception, and whioh, on tho contrary, wo cordially huh tain; but we wish you to understand that wo have not endorsed your management of the office of Trea? surer, and that you must in the future bo on your ps and qs. It is an expres? sion whioh hita the mean between oppro? brious condemnation of the Treasurer on tho ono hand, and cordial approval of ? him on the other. Thoso votes, cast so positively in opposition, and yet so near to each other, can only be explained 'upon the supposition we have made. ?That supposition implies tho acquisition ?of both tho power of just discrimina? tion and of just conservatism of action in emergencies. It implies, further, that the element of true patriotism has found a larger representation in the General Assembly, has made a broader basis on whioh to stand, and acquired the power of a freer-and bolder expression of itself. t We see here a man carried triumphantly ?into an office, after having broken with Ibis party, leading n revolt from it and incurring a considerable measure of its censures. Next he led an attack, as it wan considered, upon a branch of the Administration, and failed to accomplish tho purpose he had in view there, too. Judging by ordinary rules, we would have expected him to be a subject of re? buke. But upon the first test occasion, all that we might have looked for is re? versed. Whatever his views as a party man may have been, they are now over? looked. Disaffection, revolt, opposition, all are forgotten. The principle that is supposed to have inspired his action is all that is remembered, and that only to be rewarded. His conduct in the past condemned, as it might have been at a time of passion and strife, is considered a good guarantee and recommendation for responsible and honorable position. Viewed in this light, the eleotion of Col. Dunn is a gratifying event, as it seems to mark progress and indicate some gain in public virtue. In other respects, it shows an agreeable accord between all parties, interests and complexions in the General ? Assemblj'.dChe Demoorats and Conserv? atives supported Colonel Dunn to a man. The Independent Republicans were equally cordial, and Regular Republi? cans, of all Bhades of opinion and prac tico, helped him on to bucccss. It was a genuine "happy family," mado up of contraries, opposites and irreconcilables, such as Barnum delights to get together in tho same cage. Such a result has not been possible at any time before this, since the new era and now order of things were initiated in this State. All have agreed to see merit in a course on tho part of tho new Comptroller, whioh, bad it ocourred in tho earlier and more in? tolerant epooh of tho party in ascen? dancy, would have ruinod him politi? cally. There has been a groat chango to mako this election possible. It is duo to the mellowing influences of time, to tho wearing away of intolerance and party spirit, and to the necessity which drives men together for good ends, becoming stronger than party ties, triumphs or prejudices. Considering it as a signifi? cant political land-mark, we are very muoh pleased with it Wo aro equally so upon personal grounds. We have known Colonel Dunn for Borne years, only to appreciate him as a man of in? tegrity, energy and good administrative abilities. The Legislature of Georgia having re? pealed the lien law upon crops, the motto^of the business men of that State is now, almost without exception, "cash down or no trade." As a consoquenoe, the Atlanta Herald says, there are a half dozen large wholesale grocery houses in that oity, doing a business formerly of $3,000,000 annually, whose sales at pre? sent are fifty per cent, less than at this time last year; but tho Herald predicts that beneficial results to all parties will attend this system, whioh is a new one | to tho Southern people. A correspondent of the London 8tan "dard represents tho Pope's condition an very critical. Tho.medical men talk of | sjtfw aha gradual paralysis. Incidents of the Election. When the General Assembly was ready to go into the election of Comptroller, yesterday, their friends put in nomina? tion for the office, Messrs. N. B. Myers, T. C. Dunn, J. L. Neagle, J. 8. Fille brown, J. L. Little and C. J. Stollbrond. Hamilton, of Beaufort, nlBo nominated Mr. Trcnholm, but his name was witli druwn. Jone?, of Georgetown, presented H. Kirk, us a niun in every respect fitted to fill tho position, being of a pecu? liarly fierco and bold nature, and quali? fied to net the part of bull dog of the treasury. He said that he would ponder over the subject well, and as tho clerk went down the roll, perhaps he should make up his mind to vote for Col. Dunn. Mr. Dunn stood at the close of the ballot 93; Mr. Neagle 11; Mr. Fillebrown7; Mr. Little 4, and thero were a few scattering votes. Tho voto of Senator Dunn ran np to 127 in consequence of cliangcs. Ho was warmly congratulated by has friends, who caino from every side of tho House to shako his hand. Finally he was taken up by Hayne, of Marion, and Smith, of Darlington, and borne' aloft through tho hall and out into the lobby. Mr. Stephons writes from Crawford villo, Georgia, to contrndict, in tho most positive terms, a protendod report given in correspondence from Columbia to tho Charlotte Observer, of a conversation held with him, in which it is stated that ho denounced Governor Chamberlain, using coarse language, Ac. It was a fabrication from beginning to end. He "utterod no opinion or sentiment about Governor Chamberlain, while in Columbia or on his way home, except such as was ex pressivo of gratification nt the general satisfaction which his administration seemed to bo giving throughout tho State?even to many intelligent citizcnB he had met with who had not favored his election." Wo are glad that Mr. Stephens has rebuked this slander. The statements and interview bore internal evidecco of having been manufactured, but not every one could havo discerned this. Our friends of tho Observer had better koep clear of "X. X. X." The Republic or Lettebs?Massachu? setts Bet-aibino a Wbonq to Viboihia.? The Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, of Massachu? setts, has written a letter to tho Boston Advertiser, appealing to the genoroaity of his Shite, and especially to the friends of Harvard University, in behalf of the old College of William and Mary, in Vir? ginia. Tho buildings of this venerable institution were first destroyed by fire in 1859, but of tho ample funds belonging to it, they wore promptly rebuilt They were again burnt in 1872, by a body of stragglers from tho F?deral army, upon the withdrawal and in resentment of some Confederate cavalry who had oc? cupied the buildings for only a few hours. A bill appropriating $68,000 for the purpose of rebuilding tho college passed the House of Representatives in the forty-second Congress, but .failed in the Sonate, Mr. Hoar does himself honor by rising nbovo tho prejudices of section and party and seeking to revive tho hotter sentiment of his countrymen, and to awaken their sense of justice, in conducting a movement for tho restora? tion, by private subscription, of a sent of learning thus destroyed. It is emi? nently gratifying to noto and rccogniso such a spirit. Wo copy a passage of Mr. Hoar's handuomo appeal: "Tho College of William and Miry has eminent claims to be remembered with reverence by every truo son of Mas? sachusetts. In tho great events which proceded tho revolution, in educating tho American people in the principles of civil liberty and of constitutional go? vernment, her services to the country were scarce second to thoso of Harvard. Washington received her diploma ns surveyor in his youth, and rendered, as her chancellor, his last public service in old ago. Jefferson, author of tho Decla? ration of Independence, who announced tho great law of equality and human rights, in whose light our Constitution is nt last and forever to bo interpreted, was hor son and drank his inspiration ut her fountain. Peyton Randolph, the first President of tho Continental Congress, Edmund Randolph, Washington's At? torney-General, and Fresidont Monroe, wero her graduates. Marshall, without whose luminous and far-sighted exposi? tion onr Constitution conld hardly have been put into successful and harmonious operation, who imbedded forever in our constitutional law the great dootrines'on which tho measures that saved the Union are based, was a son of William and ^?N^othing would, in my judgment, hove a greater tendency to revive affec? tion between the North and South than to rebuild, by a national contribution, this ancient institution, chief among the household gods of Virginia. What proof so certain that the bitterness of the lato war is over, and that tho early memories of the days of the revolution nuu of iho framing und inauguration of the Constitution, are returning in full force, than tho rebuilding of this snored temple of learning in Virginia, by the people of the North, under the lead of Boston and Harvard?" Ono of tho latest European scandals is to tho effect that tho Duchess Sophia, youngest sister of the Empress of Austria, and wife of the Duke d'Alen con, an Orleans Prince, has fled to the United States with Haufutenzol, a Bava? rian photographer, with whom she had long been infatuated. She had, previous to her marriage, with Aloncon, been en? gaged to King Louis tbe second, of Bava? ria; but the match was broken off on account of scandalous stories in which the same photographer was involved. The State Legislature. Tuxsn?T, Maaca 24,1875. SENATE; Mr. Nash, from Claims Committee,, re? ported favorably on a large number. A mcssago was received from the House, that the report of the committee ap? pointed to examine the official bond, of the State Treasurer was adopted. Tho bill to raise supplies was read third time, amended and title changed to an Aot A message was received from the Go? vernor, stating that he bad approved: Acts to incorporate Gorman Mutual Life Association, of Charleston; to incorpo? rate Richland Building and Loan Asso? ciation, of Columbia; to charter Green? ville and Cumberland Gap Kailroud Company; requiring certain persona, formerly Treasurers uf Comities of Dar? lington, Anderson. Sparenburg. Sumter and Beaufort, to turn over all chucks, vouchers, papers or accounts, to the County Commissioners of said Countbn; to provide for extending the time of hold? ing the delinquent land sales in several Counties of tho Stato for the present year; joint resolution to make certain claims against the County of Edgeficl.l, payable out of tho proceeds of the spe? cial tax authorised by a "joint resolution to authorize the County Commissioners of Edgefield County to levy a special tax of threo mills to bo levied at the tinip of the general tax," approvod December 22, 1873. Tho Senate joined the House in a bal? lot for Comptroller-General, which re? sulted ns follows: T. C. Dunn, 127: N. B. Myers, 9; J. 8. Fillobrown, 2; J. L Noaglo, 2; H. A Meotzo, I; J. L. Little, 1; C. J. Stolbrand, 1;W. R. Jervay. 1. Wholo number of votes givon, 143. Tho Prosident declared Hon. T. C. Dunn, having received a majority of tho votes given, duly elected Comptroller-General. The joint assembly thereupon dissolved, and the Senate returnod to its chamber, and after tho transaction of general busi? ness adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Committee of Confercnco rolativo to disagreement as to election precincts in the different Counties, submitted a roport, which was agreed to and sent to tho Sonnte. Mcssago of concurrence re? turned. Mr. Hayno moved that tho Coiumittco on Judiciary bo instructed to report a bill in accordance with recommendations of Special Joint Committoo appointed to investigate sufficiency of bond of State Treasurer. Agreed to. Enacting clause of bill to provide for maintenance of prisoners in penitontiary was stricken out, Mr. Thomas, from tho Committoe on Claims, recommended payment of a number. Bills to reduce nil Acts and parts of Acts in relation to County Commission? ers, their powers and duties, into one Act, and to amend the same; to punish persons fraudulently packing cotton; to encourage colonization in the State; to amond an Act to reduce all Acts and parts of Acts providing for tho assess? ment and valuation of property into one Act, and to amend same; authorizing the qualified voters of Chester to vote upon question of a fence law; joint resolution providing for payment of employees and guards at the Penitentiary for services rendered; bills proposing an amendment to the Constitution; to amend Section 1, Chapter CXLUI, Revised Statutes, relat? ing to inquest on dead bodies; to protect employees and laborers, were rend third time and ordered to Senate. The Senate hero joined tho Honse and ballotted for Comptrollor-Genoral; nftor which that body retired to its chamber, and Houso adjourned. A Train of Evils.?If weakness of the stomach iB allowed to become chronic, the following evils supervene: Digestion is permanently impaired, the system is very imperfectly nourished, tho blood becomes thin and watory.jvnd tho bilo being unemployed for digestive and ova cuative purposes, enters the circulation through tho thoratic duct, and injects itself into tho superficial vessels, giving to the skin and whites of tho eyes the saffron tingo indicative of billiousness. Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in the side, palpitations, heartburn, dizzi? ness and many other harrassing symp? toms which accompany tho internal de? rangement above described, which, if un? checked, is as suro to bo followed by serious disease, as tho rising of the sun by its setting. It is manifest, therefore, that an inability of tho stomach to act upon tho food should be overcome with? out delay. The invigorating influence upon that organ of Hosletters Stomach Bitters is speedily felt in the disappear? ance of all tho disagreeable symptoms al? luded to. Tho prescribed minoral reme? dies for general debility usually fail to aohievo any lasting result, because thoy do not invigorate tho stomach; Hostet? tors Bitters always succeed because that is their primal effect The very fact that they are such an excellent stomachic con? stitutes them ono of tho best general tonics in existence. To restore digestion is the final stop towards the rocovery of health, when impaired by any of tho multifarious complaints which spring from dyspepsia, and that step will be found to have been taken by the invalid who has availed himself of this famous anti-dyspoptio romedy. M19t3Hl How to Rrstobe the Pbospebity or the State.?Keep you money at home. Do not send away for anything which you can obtain as well here as elsewhere. We do not advocate paying $6 for that whioh you can buy abroad for oven $4.90; but when yon can buy your Blank Books, of the best grade, at prices as low as Now York, then send to walker, Evans St Cogswell, Charleston, S. 0., and purchase what you need. All their Blank Books are made in Charleston, and your en? couragement will sustain a worthy manu? facturing enterprise. M21f There are now at least 1,000 white men engaged in digging gold among the Black Hills, contrary to the treaty of tho Government with the Indians; but, thank goodness, tho Government has ordered a company of cavalry to go out there, "as soon as tho weather permits," and bring those white men in. And when those sixty cavalrymen, after hav? ing sloshed around promiscuously and casually perused tho country until some time early in the fall, come upon those 1,000 miners^ all armed and equipped as the law directs, tho way the Government will assert herself will surprise you. Tue Gkkat Storm.?A despatch from Orongoburg says the storm of Saturday did considerable damage to life and pro? perty, near that place. A houso contain? ing several persons was blown down. One man was killed and sevend others were injured. In Edgefield a vast amount of property was destroyed. All but two houses on Gen. M. 0. Butler's place were blown down, also six houses on Joseph Calla - ban's, nineteen on Mr. Tilman s and all except two on Joseph Thurmud's. John Briggs' brick house was unroofed, and the out-buildings were destroyed, includ? ing the gin-bouse and screw. A child was killed on this place, and u negro woman was mortally wounded. Sain. Gardiuor's gin-house and sorew were de? stroyed on Whitlock's place. John Hall was fatally crushed on Joe Wiltin's plan? tation and every house was destroyed. Mr. Forewara's dwelling and out-bouses, on Beech isiand, were ulown down and five negroes were killed. At "Windsor, on the South Carolina Railroad, five per? sons were killed and fourteen wounded, all colored. Of twenty bands on Mr. Woodruff's plantation, only three were saved. Mr. Kelley and child were killed at Windsor. It is feared that the worst is not known yet. At the plantation of Mr. George W. Turner, on the Edgefield line, nearly all the out-buildings were utterly wrecked, while tbo residence it? self was almost wholly demolished. Mrs. Turner had an arm broken, and her son in-law, Dr. W. D. Jennings, Jr., was He riously cut in the legs by tho falling timbers. Two colored men were insbuitly killed, as were al6o a considerable num? ber of mules and cows. At the planta? tion of Col. Jacob Foreman, on the Sa? vannah Rivor, near Silver Bluff, similar disasters occurred. Nearly all the smaller houses were swept away, the mansion was ruined beyond repair, and a colored iuau and girl instantly killed. Mr. Wil? liam Woodward's plantation in Barnwell County, S. C, was visited by the storm, and great damage done. Every building on the place, except the dwelling, was blown down. It is reported that sevend persons wcru killed and injured in the vicinity. A letter was carried by the cyclone from Thomson, Ga., to Edgefield County, and was found on the premises of Mr. H. T. Wright, about six miles from Edgefield, a distance sixty miles from Thomson. WThen the tornado passed ovor Edgefield, Dr. II. A. Shaw was at Mr. Thurmond'a. Tbo houso coin ruoncod rocking and cracking so fearfully that Dr. Shaw became apprehensive that it would fall. Ho, therefore, took charge of Mrs. Thurmond and her children, rushed out in tho yard and clung to a largo treo, while Mrs. Thurmond and tbo childron held to him firmly. Near Windsor hail stones so largo fell that a sow and several pigs wero killed. Ona hail stone crashed through a man's bat and cut a gash in his head. In the 124th District, of Bichmond County, tho tornado carried off all the chickens in its track. Birds were dashed ngainst trees and killed. A negro coming down the river, near Fury's Ferry, saw tho storru ahead of him. It tore down trees on both sides of tho river and whirled them about like feathers. At Mr. Win. Wood? ward's place, in Barnwell County, nine? teen houses oui of twonty wero do stroyod, and two negro children killed. All the fences on tho plantation wero de? molished. Never was such a tornado felt in Geor? gia. Tbo front cloud was pitch black, half a mile high, and half a mile wide. It was barrel-sbapod. at times, and at times it took tho form of a half moon, re? volving from North to South. Tbo rear was illuminated with a lurid, pkospho rosoent but wholly unnatural light. It travolod at tho rate of soventy miles per hour. It was Hanked on tho North and South sides with denso clouds, but stood out in bold relief alone. It deiuo lishod each plantation in twenty se? conds. It was accompanied by a sound as of 500 cannon in the decisivo mo? ments of a pitched battle. Not a drop of rain foil from it, but a great rain storm came up three hours afterwards, and de? luged tbo earth, accompanied by bail, wind, thunder and lightning. Hun? dreds escaped death simply by the hands of Providence. Rumors from Glascock County aro afloat, but it is im? possible to get the details. It is rumored that from eight to thirty wore killed and fifty wounded. Mount Moriah camp ground was demolished, and it is report? ed that out of a family of eight living there, seven wero killed. Nothing defi? nite can bo ascertained here to-night. Reports from other sections aro equally terrifying. Loss of lifo and property in various directions. About Milledgc vilfe, it was very destructive. A serious tornado occurrod at Jackson Station, on the Port Royal Railroad, 18 miles from Augusta, last Saturday even? ing. Three houses were blown down, and ono colored woman was fatally wounded. Tho railroad track was co? vered for moro than 300 yards with full? ing timbers. On an adjoining plantation, three colored mon wero crushed to death. The falling trees obstructed the road, and threw the up day train from the track. Fortunately, no material damage was done and no one on the train was injured. Two trestles on this road were washed away by the rain, but they have been re? paired, and as this extra goes to press tho track is reported clear, and the trains are running as usual. A striko of street cor drivers has taken ?laae on the Third Avenuo line, in New ark, in consoquenoo of a reduction of wages. Tho company has put on new drivers, and the line is strongly guarded by police. Coming Revolution. A committee will leave Boston this week for Charleston, bringing with them a magnificent national flag, to by pre? sented to the Washington Light Infantry from the military officers of Boston. Coming Revolution. A young man named Beam, a ottizon of I re dell County, N. O, was instantly killed, last Monday, by having a tree which he was chopping to fall on him. Coming Revolution.

An investment of $5 may cause you to bo tho fortunate possessor of a con? venient house, a building lot, a pair of spanking horses, or a gold watch. The real estate distribution is the mode. W. J. McKcrrall, Esq., of Marion, states that tho gale in that County, on Saturday, exceeded anything within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. Fninic buildings in its path were swept off in an instant. The Sheriff of Kershnw was in doubt as to the proprioty of capital punishment on a legal holiday?ho had a man to hang on Good Friday?and communicat? ed with Gov. Chamberlain on tho sub? ject. His doubts were set at rest, and tho murderer drops off on tho 2Gth. Wo are requested to state that there will bo a meeting of the corporators of tho Congareo Manufacturing Company this afternoon, at G o'clock, in the office of Messrs. Seibels A Ezell, to which all persons who take an interest in our manufacturing development and in the prosperity of Columbia, are cordially in? vited to attend. The great fair in aid of the widows and orphans of the Washington Light Infant? ry of Charleston, about which so much has been said, opens on T u Cisday even? ing next, in Hibernian Hall. Donations are pouring in from all parts of tho United States, and it will, doubtless, bo a very attractive, successful and brilliant affair. Columbia will be represented by a number of visitors as well as articles. Fort Moultrio is being put'in order. Peter Henderson, convicted of bur? glary and larceny at tho September term, 1873, of the Court of Sessions for Barn well County, and sentenced to the Peni? tentiary for cighteon months, was dis? charged, yesterday, by expiration of term of sentence. Henry Hargrave, William Ready, alias John Manigault, and David Scott, alias Joe Williams, arrived from Charleston, yesterday, and took up their residence at tho Penitentiary, by order of his Honor Judge J. P. Reid. Aftaibs in Sumteb.?H. L. Darr, Esq., of the Suniter Southron, informs us that on Monday afternoon, a colored man, named Ned James, was stabbed in tho head and killed by a white lad, named Harvin. The provocation was great? the boy feeling that his lifo was in dan? ger. Butler Speers, who was shot by young Skinner, the same day, was not killed, and is rapidly improving. Ho exonerates Skinner from all blame, and requests his release. The wounded man fainted and it was thought ho was dead. Tho storm of Saturday was very de? structive in that County. Housos and fences were demolished and trees up? rooted. The hail-stones wore so large that cattle wcro Hilled by them. -??*?? Anotheb Stobm in Richland.?A se? vere hail-storm passod ovor tho North? eastern part of Richland, about sixteen miles from Columbia, on Saturday last. Many of tho stones weighed thirteen ounces, while son\p reached eighteen, and wcro ns largo as a pair of ordinary fists. In the neighborhood of Van Bok kelen's turpentine distillery, the hail? storm appeared to have been most severe There was a heavy wind about the same time. From the Lexington side of the Congaree, in the neighborhood of Congareo Creok, come reports of serious disasters from a gale, on the same day. Huge trees were prostrated and fences demolished. It is estimated that the tornado of the 10th, demolished every? thing for a space of about five miles in length and was from 200 to ?00 yards in width. Two lives were lost and fully a dozen persons injured?several of them severely; twenty houses of all kinds were destroyed, and the loss is estimated at $25,000. Tho new type, whioh so materially adds to the appearance of the Pbochxx, this morning, is from the justly cele? brated United States Foundry of Jomea Connor's Sons, corner of Centre and Rcado streets, Now York. Their typo is noted for the peculiar hardness of the metal. The old dress, just cast off, was obtained from the same firm, nearly ton years ago, and has been in constant uaa? the very best evidence of its superiority ovor any other foundry. Nine years and eight months' use of one set of typo on a daily paper, besides other printing, ia something very unusual. Our brotners of the press will appreciate this. ? it NEW Ad veutlsemknt.-i.
