Other Matters of Interest. COLUMBIA, September 1.-Columbia is and has been for the last fourteen hours in a state of great excitement. Last night was the night on whluh the candidates were to appear before the people of this city to address them upon political topics. A large crowd assembled in the Court House to hear the speakers which began about 8:80 i. m. Three of candidates had finish ed their addresses, and a fourth was just beginning to warm to his subject when suddenly there was. heard an ominous roar and rumbling, which blanched the faces of the boldest, and the crowd arose as one man and made a 'mad, wild rush for the doors and windows. Your correspondent was sitting near the speaker's desk and soon saw that there was no chance of exist for him, and that he would have to take his chances in the house. After the first sensation of startled fear had passed, he realized the cause of the trouble, and was able to enjoy the ludicrous side of the picture, and he watched with linterest the wonderful dipplayof selfishness which we all display in hours of danger. He came to the conclusion that when -an earth quake strikes a crowd it is a . bad place to look for those cool, calm indi viduals front which heroes are made. Men who had, to let them tell it, faced death on a hundred fields -withuout the quiver of an eyelid, were now trans formed into lethders in the wildest panie of fear. The streets of the city were thronged with fear-stricken women and men, 'who had left their houses in whatever costume they may have been in at the time of the shock, and few of them possessed the hardihood to go to itheir beds during the night. T1he rooms and corridors of the hotels were .de serted, and everyone seemed perfectly willing to keep watch and. ward over our littlq city dur,ing ' the hours of darknes . The first shock, 'which occurred Sabout 9.45, was-the most severe. An other followed in about ten minutes,,a little less severely, *a third followed a little after one a. m., another. 'at 6, a. in., and the last at 8.80,.a. m. The streets present an unutually lively r earance, and every one is discuss Sthe great earthquakce of 1886. Much anixiety is felt on behalf of Charleston, and the wildest rumors Sare afloat. It is reported that sixty people were killed last night in that city. Nothing definite is . known, as the wires are down and this ruztnor is based on a report from Sa'vannah. All the Charleston trains are delayed, and no mail will be received frOm Charles f ton until late this afternoon. . No one was killed in this city though sevralwee hrtby jumping out of of chimneys were shaken down. . The , shock of -course put an' end to the ,political- sp'eaking, and without -any frma;1 moflon~ tthat effect the meet mn dored. Col. Marshall, County I Ohairman, has called it ibr to-night 1 in the open air, and the speakers will .hold forth in front of the Grand Con tral'Hotel.
