BepobUowa BpeaktugOn
Friday lust, there was polUioal speakiog
at the stand neer the Female College
Spring. It had been aoooaooed that the
Regular Republicans would on that day
have-a grand exhibit of oraterieal display
for the ed ideation of our iRepublieao people.
About 11' o'clock" In the forenoon,
thoae desiring to hear from this main body >
of the Republicans of the State, their honesty,
(t) Ac., repaired to the above place.? j
Some <evenly-live peraona were IP'attend*
aeee when the remarks were begun, and
soon it increased to a hundred or more, not
beyond that number, though H did ewetl a
tittle by tba Ume tha esS? cisee were over. 4
It was ?p?ilal that teveral prominent
speaker*, among them Judge 8. W. Mblton,
Messrs. Elliott, Cain. C. D. Melton and
others would be present, but no one from a
(liatane# put iu an appearance exoept Mr. F.
L. Cabdozo, candidate for State Treasurer.
A telegrnru was received aiatinu Judge Man*
ton and some of the othera had been de?
tainod oo account of sickness, but would artire
io Greenville by the evening train.
As this was the Bret meeting of the Reg.
ular Republicans in Greenville, we attended
the occasion, and preps red a more lengthy
statement of what was said, hqt more important
matters have compelled us to omit
the report. The speakers, Messrs. Wilson
Gook, Jas M. Allen. Jas. M. Runion and P.
Jj. Cardozo, announced themselves in support
of the regular hfo?es ticket, and abased
and villified the tiokel of the Bolter*.
The entire ooeasion waa without spirit, and
produced no enthusiasm for tho regular ticket,
in fact waa almost an entire failure. It ia
very hard to form an opinion aa to whether
the Bolters or Mosea tickot ia strongest in
Greenville County; but wo do not think the
situation favors the latter.
At night Mr. F. L. Cardoso attempted to
address an assemblage in the Court House,
bat tbe Bolters drowned his voioe in his efforts
to be heard, and he therefore was forcod reluctantly
to quit the field. This was, we believe,
regarded as a victory for the latter party.
Republican Nominations.
The Republican party ofGrcenvillo County,
through their delegates met in this City, on Saturday
lost, to make nominutions for tbe vari- j
ous County offices to be filled at the ensuing 4
election. The convention was not held in tbe 1
Court House, as usual, but assembled at the
Allen School House, in the nortb?cost part
of tho City. Wo learn that there was a good
deal of wrangling and disorder in the meeting,
which seem to bo incident to tho deliberative
meetings of tho party. Tho ticket will bo
found elsewhere. Mr. J. M. Allen, the nom
inco for the Senate, was, we understand,
uoiniuatcd by acclamation. The nomination,
as a whole, is regaded a weak one, although
about tbe best that could bo produoed by those
bringing it forth. The supporters of Moses
and Tomliuson appear for tbe time to have for*
gotten their diflerenccs as regards pay certifi
eatcs, honesty, dishonesty, phosphate bills,
to., as both parties aro represented on tho
ticket presented for tho action of their Republican
brethren.
o
o
Nomination or w. II. Prrry, Esq., for o
Solicitor.?At a meeting of delegates ap*
pointed from the Counties of Greenville, Pickens,
Abbeville, Cconeo and Anderson Counties,
composing tbe Eighth Circuit, which met st v
Anderson on Thursday last, l?tb inst., W. H. s
Perry, Esq., the present able and efficient So* t
Ifeitor, was unanimously renominated by the e
tho Conservative party. Each of the Counties
was Tally represented, and the proceedings
were most harmonious. If re?eIeoted, which
wc havo no donbt he will, Mr. Perry will continue
to give that great satisfaction in the
discharge of his duties which has heretofore
c haracterized him.
The proceedings of the Convention reached
us too late for insertion in full.
Court Still in Bkhsion.?A considerable
amount of business has been disposed of
during the past week. And the Court, the
Juries and lawyers are still engaged earn,
cstlj at work on the Civil Docket. The
session will probably close with the prea?
col week.
Sals or Hank Stock.?Five shares of stock
of National Bank of Greenville were sold
last week at $104 per share.
The Columbia Carolinian ?Mr. Jon a W. ?

FOR TRC CRBBRV1LLB BKTRRPRIfB.
To tho People of Greenville.
My name having been announeed as a ean*
lldate for tbe Senate, I doom it proper to say,
that, if the nominating eonrention shall place
ne in that position before the people, I will
teoept the nomination. I shall do no the
nore readily, as I had the honor to represen t
Oreenville, as her Senator, in the first legislative
assembly that met after the war. My
slootion then was endorsed by a highly complimentary
majority of the phpular vote, and
I received gratifying assurances thai I dlssbarged
tho duties of tbe responsible office, in
s manner satisfactory to an intelligentand patriotic
oostituency. Before I had served out
the Senatorial term, the Legislature of the
State was suppressed by a Military Government.
Congress pasaed tbe reconstruction
laws. The present deplorable condition of
r>ur State affairs, is tha result.
If elected to tLe Senate, my determined efforts
will bo to reliero tbe people of the grievous
burdens of high taxes, extravagant salaries,
and all useless 8tate and County officers ;
to obstruct and expose all oorrupt and swindling
legislation, to repeal all oppressive and vexatious
laws recently enacted or any of that character
of more ancient date, to guard tbe pub*
lie treasury from official plunder, and to restore
tbe utmost wise economy in the administration
of tbe State Government, to establish ]
rreater simnlieitv in the lnw? nmil.tini,
lines* and practice in tbe oourta. to abolish the |
nonstrous and extortionate costs and fee* now
istabliahed, to promote education unions the .
><>ople ; to promote manufactures j aud, obief of "
ill, business Agriculture, and encourage emi*
[ration into this State,aa tar aa theae tbiogs can (
to aided by judioious legislation ; and muoh
any be done by earnest and peHsiatent exertion.
Especially will it be my aim *o repodite
or ignore every fraudulent bond issued '-y
be corrupt officials of the State, and all spu- |
lona claims on tbe State Treasury of whntevr
character; particularly tbe fraudulent
iay certificates of Ur. Speaker Mosea, that
can whom his associates in plunder and cornption
now bare tbe insulting aasuranee to
?k us to make Governor ol Soutb Carolina.?
should regard it my duty to eboperate with
II men and every party in all efforts to reform
ur State affairs and to secure, by tbe Messina
f God, abiding peace and prosperity througir
ut onr borders. G. F. TOWNES.

Mr, Editor : I should he glad if General
Mow will esnmine tlie fol lowing, and explain,
if he can. He say* somebody K??

urea. Did he sign theae certificates? For
what were they issue-1 ? Who are theae
people who have drawn $17,640 27. and lor
what service f Who knew lh ee thirteen
men, or any ol them. aa employees of the

ao much more valuable than those of
other members, that he ahottld be prefered
to them ? For what servicea via he paid
thia sum ?
If General Moses can explain thia matter,
let u? have the truth quickly ; if he cannot,
the people may be aure that Mel<on and
Cordoz<> can never make an honeai Governor
out of etich material. If he haa been
dishonest as Speaker of the llouee, the
eltHoga of office will not metamorphose his
character, nor will the moral influence even
of the two pure and virtuous gentlemen
