crossed the terrace in the dead of night and eluding the * sentinel, gained the edge of the precipice, theuce by means of a knotted rope, he descended to the sea. He evidently slipped during the descent and tore his hands, as a rope was found stained with blood in several places. Under the cliff was a hired boat* where Bazainc's wife and cousin received hini as lie reached the water, and, Madame la Merechale taking the oars nereelf, rowed directly to x strange steamer which had been lying off the island since the previous evening. They reaehed the vessel in safety, were taken on board, and the steamer then put to sea.. It is thought that they landed at Genoa, as the steamer proceeded in that direction;' The first news of the affair came to Grasse, the nearest place ou the coast,. and the magistrates of the town immediately sent officers in every direction to search for the fugitVc. There was great commotion in Marselles when the facts became known, and an investigation was opened. Col Villctte, wh<5 was walking with the Marshal on the evening ofbis escape, was discovered there and imprisoned. The commandant of the Fort of St Magoeritc was placed under arrest and General Lowell was gone to the island to investigate afairs. , Paris, August 12.?It has beenascer tnined that the plan for Marshal Bazainc's escape from Marguerite was arranged six months ago. It was entirely the work of Madame Bazainc. The Marshal refused ffot to fly, but finally owing to his failure tyj obtain some rriddifications of his sentence, yielded. He sailed from the island in the steam yacht Baton Itecasole, belonging to an Italian company. He rcfiised to employ a French vessel. He was accompanied in his flight by, liis wife and brother.

honesty of the Beaitfort delegation led by Gen. Smalls, asserting that they never voted for Moses, at the last nominating convention. The last two years had demonstrated that they must have a change, it was demanded by the party which must be re organized on another basis, and every man who has been weighed inrtho b.t!ant\? and") fuutrf" light tuust bo laid aside. iflioy proposed to take no man to run the government who was not in harmony with the great public sentiment They propose to reduce taxes and repair their ruined credit They proposed to replenish their exhausted exchequer and dignify and elevate the true republican party of tli is State. That was the demand made upon the pePple ot Beaufort and the state by their own in terests and from past experience, by every consideration of party pride and respectability. He knew the people of Beaufort would not be blind to their interests. After referring to the time when he first met Gen. Grant twenty-five years a^o, an unknown ficutcnanf, he spoke of Gen. Smalls', who at that time was considered a chattel worth five hundred dollars by the laws of the state, but alter he ran the Planter into the federal lines, his ?oad was worth four thousand dollars; they.pQvcr recognized that he was worth his weight in gold. He cautioned them against dissensions, urging them to staud firm fcy the party organization as it had stood by them. Speaking of Licut-Gov.GlcavOs, he said, he was one of the faithful piblic servants and deserved to bfe trusted; because he had always proved true, and the entire delegation were worthy, intelligent and honest.

than she had ever had in fact South Carolina has prospered more than any of the other southern states. There may have been, some errors committed, but the principles of a party, that would result in such prosperity must be wholesome He granted that thero had been errors. Theyjhad bad men but the republican party was not afraid to whip her own children, and when they found a rascal, they kicked him out Congress never refused to appoint a committee to examine into the failures of any of their own party, but the democrats never did. Congress did not hesitate to take up the Credit Mobilier, and when they found those who were connected with it, they disgraced them. The Sanborn matter, was not so bad after all, and yet when found out it was exposed. They exposed these things within their own ranks and did not ask the democrats to come in and do it for them. They could put their hands on those who had done wrong, and the party had the power to punish them. They had some men who had done wrong. In 1872 a new set of men were placed in office, in consequence of the dissatisfaction of the people, and these men made promises, which, if they have not been kept, .turn them out If Moses has been acting the rascal; put him down. It was tk very unpleasant thing for him to make charges against any man. He liked Moses personally, but as a republican and citizen, he had.4 higher duty to perform than to allow bis personal friendship to warp Tiis judgement The republican party must - ' - * % . a

these are the men who talk about their business tact add of capacity for govern^pg. When they were all dead and prosperity read the history of these times they would coincide in this opinion. lihcbiuHhCS republicans were responsible, ia I&6S the state was poor, there were no cro^s because the laborers were afraid rhe^ Would not be paid. The speaker wnJplimented the colored inch on their willingness to labor referring it the largp crops that had been raised sinee .1868, and the building up of the city of Columbia and its general prosperity. Then the condition of the railroads in 1868 and at the present time furnishedthe best evidence of the increasing prosperity of the state. In 1868 the income of the South Carolina read was only $6,000 and now it was $16,000. The Greenville road, had increased from two hundred thousand to six hundred and thirty thousand dollars. The increase of banks in the State since 1868 was also an evidence of increasing prosperity. Columbia had one baok in 1868 with a capital of one hundred j thousand dollars, she has now three with a capital of nearly a million. The objebt of all politics should be the advancement of the material interest of the people in everything necessary to make them prosperous and happy and bethought the facts he had presented made a good showing in j that direction. A man should not be a repuplicaQ hecause his father was, or be' f?ause he could get an office, for the man ' who hadn^ higher notion of his rickt of

fort a gipat deal as their deleg: tion to the legislature which was composed of the best men of the legislature voted for him and he thanked his hearers fo? sending such men, and if he ever did anything to betray : the people or injure their interest, ho only wanted to be told pf it, return to them the commission thy had given him. That was the standard by which he would like to be judged, and by a similar standard he would like to judge Moses. As a senator in congress he would at all times and on every occasion do all that he could fcr the whole body of the people, and on all material questions, he knew no democrats or republicans but would go for Ike interest of the whole people; but on oil political questions they could depfcncLpn one thing ho would vote with republicans as he was one dyed in the wool and on mch questions would vote as they asked lim, and not as the democrats wouldaish him, as he <lid not represent their political views. They had one question of particular intarcstto them?th^tcx titles of which hoha^jyily hcarcF7aj<t year. He had applied to Sawyer, for information but he was mixed about it.

Chamjber ain was his choice because he was honest, a republican by birth and education. At this stage Robt. BythcWood interrupted the speaker by asking ,4iS Smalls j'our choioo?answer me." to which Worthington replied that if he ansWerid a fool according to his folly, his answer would be short. Thanking the people for their attention he bade them good night The meeting then closed. The Bl-aufort Brass Band was m attendance and headed the procession that conducted the gentlemen to the house of Lieut Gov. Glcavos, whose guests tiicy were. They expressed themselves highly delighted with the sentiment manifested in' Beaufort Run Away. * A party of encrgetie political aspirants, consisting of Messrs. Morris, Cohen and Richards, somewhat clevaYed by their enthusiasm and bad wldskey, visited the meeting at the Battery Wednesday, in a conveyance belonging to W. II McGill. On their return being somewhat obfuscated by their patriotic feelings and?more Dad whiskey?they run up against the lajmp post in front of Capt. C. 0.
