Tne Republican?$ty ai;<I Hie ?1 The Tax-Payers' Convention were solemnly assured by the Republican officials, who had controlled the State Administrai ion for the previous two year?, and have hadgharge of its af fairs since, that there were no frond u lent or illegal issues in the public debt. It is pow conceded!1 rover six millions of bonds have i. -n ille gally issued, and laiffa amounts mis appropriated, in violation of thc Acts which created (hera. Both wings of the now Radical party have a ike cast aside, in their nominations, the chief State officials,' then ai.d now in pow er, and admit to the fullest extent the profligate character of their Ad minisi ration. The heretofore rule of the Republican party in this Stale, is denounced by bot! is ori.upt, and a betrayal of every Irusl confided t( it. We have, therefore, both the proof and the confesi?n. The Bolting Convntion in their platform, use the storigest Jangua;-, on this point. It decares that, " gros.? and flagrant abuses lave grown up in the Executive ant Legislative De partments of the Government, and have become an inferable burden on the Republican party and the State," that much o the legislation of the. State, has een "corruptly controlled," that "ccruptjon and in competency -have caracterized the. present administratm," and that "the notoriously coiupt and imbe cile'character of tb. present State Administration 'has rought disgrace upon Republicanism verywhere.'". This is the gronndtaken by both Conventions. Each s equally out spoken. Each, not oly in their ut terances, di?own the ?publican party as in power for the st four years, but concur in the ruth of every charge which the Rjprm party of 1S70, arid the Tax-ryers of 1871, made as to the existece and extent of the misrule and wn.g. Nor is, the^? now*ny denial of fraudulent and llleji i^ues. We haye been curious to lpw what course the rival factions of ti Radical par ty would take on, this^e-^whether they would clenounceihem in words merely, and still enavor to force the State to redeem em, or wheth er they would make aeir rejection one of the planks of leir respective platforms. The third resolutioof the Regu lar Republican Conniion affirms, " We will not hesitalto repudiate that portion of the dt of the State which is illegal, and.herefore, null and void." The similar resoloii of the Bol ters' Convention claing to be the true Republican parlof the State, says " we pledge ourves, to effect instantly a financial ?fonn^ in 'the Ni State Government, Depending th? j U payment1 of "' the infest- on every I ? uoncl of the State, Jvkich can be attached the shadow a suspicion." The non-payment ohs interest is their rejection. Thuwe have both wings of the Reputan party de claring their purpo'to repudiate the dehts contracted tho. vereinen of their \<*\xyy, whouhey put into power, and on the duct ground of their fraudulent and ?al character.

W her vor'the negroes ha'attained the j ci ascendancy of the bsce of power rr in any country there'erything has ' - gone to chaos and ruin. It was so in Marti, in St. Domingo, in Venezuela, and in all other countries where the blacks, having political power, have outnumbered the whites, or where a few knavish whites have used the blacks to ride into power. This should be a solemn lesson for us, but it seems our politicians will not heed th.e teaching of histor). Unless the Rad ical Republican party b* split asun der, and a part of the negroes should have the'good sense M go with the Conservative and more respectable portion-'in South Carolina; the State must r?rr?ain in *a most hopeless con dition".

The Democratic^ State Executive Committee, after a full and free con ference, have ?dopted the following resolutions as embodying the policy, in thei? opinion, proper to be pursued by the Democracy of the State in the present canvass : 1. Resolved, That in the present state of parties in South Carolina, we deem it unwise to nominate a Demo cratic State ticket, and decline, there fore, to call a convention of the peo ple for that purpose. 2. Resolved, That haying adopted' the policy thus indicated, we demand of the Republican party that they fulfil, in gftod faith, -their public pledges, and give to the State an able, honest, and economical government, under which extravagance and fraud shall, cease, and all cjasses o? citizens shall be faithfully and intelligently represented. 3 Resolved, That we now place on record our unqualified condemnation of the corruption and robbery, which, as the Republicans themselves con fess, pervade the executive and legis lative departments of the State gov ernment; for which corruption and robbery the Republican party of this State, ?is sustained by the 'Federal government, is alone responsible. 4.

This I now crave leave to do, by pro nouncing the charges, in part ?ind iu whole, tulse. And I hereby challenge, ?U referenoe to them, such thorough md complete investigation as wi li ivail to vindicate the truth. Very respectfully, F. J. MOSES-, JU. Columbia, S. C., August 28,1372. I ti Slicfp's Clothing, The curtain has fallen upon the 'rightful farce which has been played it Columbia, daring the past week", br the edification and at the expense )f the people of South Carolina, jookiug backet the shameful sayings md doings of the two -factions, aud veighing the merits or demerits of he rival tickets which they have resented for popular support, we ir? forced to tho conclusion that t here s no phase ol' tho rascality which ules our State more thoroughly de creing the distrust and contempt of to nest meti thar- that which now eeks to cloak its greed for place and dunder under the mantle Of Reform, .'hu cry of " Stop Thief!" comes too ute to be regarded as sincere. The icople can very well afford, to be ieve all .that tho; virtuous Bolters ave said- of the degradation and rimes of* t? cir late political assor tes; but they cannot forget that the ps of most of these new Apostles of Leform remained sealed as long as Lere was a dollar in the Treasury to ?'ide, and until all hope bad van ned that th cv tbem'etlves could lead tie. corrupt crew whom they aro now j indignantly denouncing. We say 3 Messrs. Orr, Corbin & Co. that tho .hite taxpayers of fte State, without 'hose ' active co-operation they are owerless, take no stock in their ing enious little game of Reform. ".Fine ^ords butter np parsnips!7"' and, if aeso RepubUcai? saints can give us pching' more substantial than the heap promises and glittering gener lities of their platform, we are at a )ss to see wherein they excel the .nners whom they have left. The tate Treasury is hardly likely to lifer leite, if placed atj the mercy of new and hungry gang, than from ic vogues who aie already gorged ;ith plunder. We tmiy not be able ) 8?op the organized robbery of the ublic coners ; but we can. at least, ecline to take any part in furnishing re keys, to men who admit that they ave for years been the silent asso- ! fe ?ates, if not the accomplices, of the oe tost shameless thieves of tue century. ?? -Charleston News, j fl Judge Mackey Holds up thc Bo?tcr? in Ile view. On the last day of the Convention of the regular wing of the Republi can party, Judge T. J. Mackey took the " Bolters" under his especial care and his vivid pictures of many oi them in their hellish hideousness and loathsome depravity is true td the letter. And *for the information ol those who put the r faith in the Re j form-Bolter*; and trust to them for j the salvation., ef the country, we herewith submit Jung? .'-lackey's re marks. Read, and then tell ns wherein i you have hope, through the Or'r I Bowen-Hurley Bolters, for any im : provement in the administration oi j the State government : j T. J. Mackey' rose to a privileged [.question, and said 1 propose to reply now to tbe attacks of the Reform or Bolters' Conve dion. My first assail ant is D. T.- Corbin, and I shi ink from-touching him with the loathing of a surgeon who dissects a putrid corpse. He is an index bf the meas ure of reform proposed. On the banks? of the Nile stands a column, the Nilometer, which marks the rise and fall of the waters-of that riv*er by the mud line. Corbin is the Ni lometer of the rise, of corruption in South Carolina. His first appearance was as a provost judge on Wadmalaw Island, in 1865. His chief confeder ate there, as now,, was C. C. Bowen. His com!uct there was so infamous that an investigation was demanded. Bowen, who was less guilty, but more unfortunate, was sent 'to prison for stealing the funds of the freedmen ; but Corbin escaped. He next ap peared as a State senator, when his tirst act was to champion the bill to j. fund the bills of the Bank of the State, the courts having decided that these bills were not receivable for taxes. Corbin worked the bill through, thus beginning a new debt for whick j the people of the State had'absolu ely no benefit. Senator F. A. Sawyer in register-d'as having forty-six thou sand dollars oi these bank bills, foi which he paid ten cents on the dollar, and, through Corbin, thos? bills and hundreds of thousands of lil? bills were funded at par. Next he ap peared as the mauager of the phos phate bill, which gave an immenst souroo of State revenue to a private corporation. By a system of debauch ery theretofore unknown, he succeed ed in ge:ting the bill through the Legislature. Scott vetoed the bill and Corbin telegraphed, '* Damn thc veto. I have money enough to pass ?OTp-W ii-^mn-irh: -?TO^JT"--^irrrtfr *rre-ttrd pass it. Ochers have dallied witt Corruption.fbui Corbin Eas clasped her naked form to his bosom. Wheii Corruption stalked through tho legis lative halls, she leaned on the stout arm of D. T. Corbin, and her dia monds shone with the tears of an outraged people. A.-; soon as the bill gassed,- Corbin was registered as the owner of forty thousand dollars worth of stock ol' the phosphate companv. lie next championed the general rail road bill, for which he received as a senator, not as au attorney, ?he sum of three, thousand aullar."? He ri st -''gilles in connection wini iii.- .-inking lund commission., receivingseven t hou sand dollars ns a senator for tin1 ser '...'.s he rendered; Like certain mir e. s of veg< ration, wJi . . b grow forty ic. : in om night, Corbin sprang from poverty to opulence iii the flash of an eye. i deal with his pub:ie-record, and will not rai e the veil which cov ers his prive hie. h is sn?ieient to say that he and Bowen might well bc appointed the two superintendents Di' marital relations in this State. I now pa s to G. W. < lark, who indorses K< abeu Tomlinsons political naper, and vows that Corbin is the soul of n ut h.. For the sake of a?gu ueut I will admit, that Corbin is' ruthful. and here is Corbin's opinion >f Clark. Judge Mackey here read md exhibited the following autograph ettef, written and signed by Mr. forbin, unless the sigtuiture'be a verv ;xaet iorgery : Thus We have to' smoke the rats ?ut. Damn 'em ! They ?ire worse han rebels ;' for we know what to ex ie;;!. of them. Clark iff my judgment j thc most contemptible, dirty devil ii the whole gang. He furnishes the lackbone and animus of the whole ight. For.God's sake kill him off for ny. appointment or promotion. He .'as low and mean enough to ask for ay endorsement for the office of col sctor a few days ago. I'd scg him i hell first. He defies all law tine! lepublican party ; and yet Asks them jr an office. (Signed) D. T. CORBIN. A month later Corbin endorsed lark as a staunch Republican and ie soul of honor, and recommended im for collector. I pass now to Reu en Tomlinson, and again charge that i ti ie House he was the special ad ocate of the phosphate bill. As jon as that bill passed his name also ppeared as the owner of forty thou md dollars' worth of phosphate ,ock. At that tuite Reuben Tomlin >n, as thc auditor of the State, was .quired to receive returns of the uantity of phosphate mina. . He ns also employed by tlie 'Greenville id Columbia Railroad Company, id at the very time was engaged as tate Auditor in assessing its proper r for taxation. As a pioneer of edu iticn, Tomlinson signally failed, as is conduct in Beaufort, as a freed man's bureau commissioner, shows lat he refused to do for tue colored iople what his successor instantly id. He -pretends to be coy, but this )lt was organized last July, when a rcular was sent out inviting certain ?rsons ta assemble in Charleston, to .ganize a movement in opposition t6 ie present State administration. The rcular offered to pay all expenses i and from Charleston, and was gried by Sawyer, Corbin, Clark and omlinson. 'In accordance with a tlural law all the rogues gravitated ? that common centre. I now take 3 F. A. Sawyer. On December 10, 363, he enrolled himself in the Con derate army, in Charleston, in the mipany of Capt, \. li. Brown.. He .d duty ;:ul served is a guard at ie Workhouse, where Union ?iriso ners were confined. On September 13, 1864, when the Confederacy was in its death throes, Sawyer obtained a pass and went to the Union lines. Time passed. He was elected sena tor; 1 protested against his being seated, and Bowen made affidavit co the fact that Sawyer wai a member ola blockade-running company, which was engaged In importing rebel arms until ?864. Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson voted against his ad mission ; *and on,? December 12,186$, Senator Wilson, in the Senate, allu ding.to Sawyei, said : " I hope the time will soon come when the South ern States wilt be represented by true statesmen, ar.d not by petty poli ticians." Another word about. Cor bin. His opposition to Judge Car penter in 187U was because Carpen ter would not soil the ermine ot the Circuit Court by giving a decision in favor of the phosphate cumpajiy. To Judge Orr, I extend the charity of silence. But I sorely feel his defec tion. He signed th? ordinance of secession, aud I, at his mandate, en tered the. Confederate army. When I was rear the bullet and the bayo net, Orr was far in the rear studying the law of safe distances as applied to projectiles. Corbin is infamous in private life'and odious for public cor ruption. It is natural* that Bowen should be with Bolters, for bc has been controlled by bolters tb ?se sixt teen years, duriug which time he has been beyond the bolts of jails. "When he was pardoned for bigamy, I told President Grant that Bo .ven had been ehasbicred from the Confederate army for forgery and had murdered Colonel White. Grant was astounded and shocked. He thought Bowen had rendered 'services to the Union, but such as he could render. the laws of civilized warfare do not allow. An other Reform?s is M\ McLaughlin, who is iudictcd for .fraudulent con duct; as county commissioner, and has, just been discharged from jail on a charge of larceny. If the Bolters had any regard for the' proprieties,' they would have held their conven tion within the walls of the peniten tiary. Judge Orr was right in say ing that the bolt is supported by tried Republicans. It is supported, indeed, by Republicans who have been tried and couvicted. ' The Boltere nave neith-r principles nor constituents, and as soon as the canvass ends, will fly the yellow hospital flag to mark the place of their Killed and wound ed. Yv'hipper .is another reformer. He says there has been gambling itt -Sta'e bonds. Well, he is an authori ty on gambling, as a recent little game in Columbia shows. Others gamble as au amusement-he is a gambler by ptoiession. "Whipping lund commissioner. It became his duty to transfer to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company the stock of that company owned by the State. He refused to sign until he was paid tee rh iusand dollars. I dare George 6. Cameron, of Charleston, to deny that he was so blackmailed by this reform er. Edwin F.'Gary is the nomininee of the reformers for State treasurer. Tiiis man is the intimate friend ol Scott, and ' was his candidate {or treasurer on the regular ticket.. His m minah-ii is the proof of an alliance betfween the Bolters and Scott., TIIP Bolters haye one other recruit, B. F. Whittemore, pf West Point cadet selling fame. Another limb has faller: from the Republican tree, but it be fallen because of its own rottenness. In conclusion, Mackey declared that ho and bis party meant genuine re form, a id-events would prove to the whites of this State that r.hev meant what they said. Judge Mackey war listened to throughout Iris speech with the most rapt attention, and his flights of vituperative eloquence and frequent flashes of wit were greeted with lon.g continued bursts of applause and laughter. The North Carolina Eagle .-ays Gov ernor Vance spoke a few days ;igo at Newton with Col. steele and" Ho.i. T. 3. Ashe. Governor Vance arose amid bud and long cheering. He beg in )y saying that he was very forcibly .truck with tho appropriateness ol he air the band had just played ' Come out of the Wilderness.'' . He aid he had just returned from Bult. nore, from themost enthusiastic Con .ention he had ever attended, where ie saw what he had never seen be brc, nor ever, expected to see : old )lac Republicans .-ind Democrats sha ring hands, and all going for Greeley. Ie saw many men who were willing o bet everything they were* worth housands of dollars-that Greeley rould carry every State, in the Union xcept, perhaps, three. He was not 0 sanguine, but he believed that rreeley would carry every State ex ept lour or five. Why, gentlemen, he said, the woods re on fire ; there is an earthauake oming ; the office holders are shaking 1 their boots. The fact is the thing ad gone so far that it was bound to ;op. The corruption and stealing of ie Radicals created a stench so great hat, it was said, "the man in the loon,"MS he passed over Washing in. was forced to held'his nose. A TERRIBLE CRIME-^-FIVE DAYS ? A WAGON WITH THE . VICTIMS. . dispatch, dated the 21st, from [ayesville, Mo., to the Philadelphia xening Herald, is as follows : An atrocious murder was brought i light yesterday by the arrest of a ian named Osborne, at Clermont, a mill town twelve miles northwest of lis city. It appears that Osborne as traveling with a team and cover 1 wagon, and stopped for some pur Dse, when some men were attracted^ i the wagon by a stench proceeding omit. Upon examining the wagon five ..ad bodies were found. Osborne ni fessed, at the end of a rope, that ie murders were committed oy one /illiams, near Holton, Kansas, and tat he (Osborne) was employed to ike the oodles otft of the way. He tn lessee! that he had traveled with i's load five days.' From a memorandum found on the )dy of une of the victims it is infer id that they were movers, consist i?, ot a Mr. Oms, hi.? wife and two lilarea, and a young man named i Sj. Dickinson, who is'supposed to be a brother of Mrs. Oms. The .party had traveled fromMinnesota to South ern Kansas, and were probably on the way to Nebraska^ The last memorandum made Ly the young man was at or near Holton. The coroner held an inquest yester day, and the bodies were buried at Clermont. Sheriff Wray has just returned here, and say* though he saw the prisoner at Clermont, the people would not give him up. It ia thought Osborne will be executed fay the people, who have'him in charge. LEXINGTON MOVING.-The Dis . . .? patch says : . "Theonly hope,of tthe Radicals in Lexington county, is that the white people will not stiek together:' This is one of the few counties in the State in which* the whites can elect their candidates, and the eyes of the whole i State are watching Lexington to put', msn above suspicion in office. It is .. tue plain and obvious duty. ot- the delegates to our Convention tv uumi nate -nly such men.- For these alone can touch-the hearts-'of our people and bring out:o,ur full strength. Let the Convention ce animated by the, ? same spirifcas in 1868 and 1870" (ex-1 cepf that,- as we ?ave 'heard many of the people say, we do r'ot thinli men ' should nominate any one .fc?ongipg . to the Convention) 'and soon' a.ticket'' ? will certainly be put'in the field* as-;* all men can -and will vote "We mean, bf course, all except- Re?nbli?- ' cant, and it is said we may jiarry some of them, bub we do not think - so .-. THE PHILOSOPHER -AND THE FEE-* EYiiAM.r-A. philosopher . stepped on board a ferry-boat to cross a streamy on the passage he inquired of thefe!f> ryman if he understood the ari'hme . tic. ' The man looked .astonished.. " Arithmetic ? ! No, sir ;" ? 'never, heard of it before." } The philosopl^r-replied: 1 "I am very sorry; for one quarter of your life'is-gone." . . A few minutes-after, .he asked the ferryman: . " Do you know anything bf mathe-/ aiatics?" . ;t Trie boatman smiled, and replied/ " No," . '?"Well; then," sa'd the philosopher, " another quarter of your life is gone." A third question was asked the ferryman : "Do you understand astronomy ?" " Oh, no, no ; never heard of such a thing." . " Well, my friend, then another quarter of your' life is gone." Just at this moment, the, boat ?on '?:rock, and'"was'sinking, "\vlTen ferryman j-imped up, pulled off his coat, and asked the philocjpherl with preac earnestness of manner : " Sir, can you swim?" "No," said the philosopher. " Well, then," said the ferryman, " your whole life is lost, for the boat's going to the bottom." , . -i ? io, ? ? Valuable Hints.

A frc? passage of the refuse matter of thesyst?m through these natural wasto pipes, is as necessary lo tho purity of thc body as tho free pas sago of tho offal of a city through its sewers is necessary to the health of its inhabitants.
