! r- v -v. v \ T / ' ^ Southern Democratic Convention. We continue the publication of tho proceedings of the last day of this body from the 6th Resolution, as published on our first page: Whereas, one of the greatest necessities of the age, in a political, commercial, postal and military point of viow, is a speedy communication between the Pacific end Atlantic coasts. Therefore, be it. fiesolued. Thattlio Democratic party do hereby pledge themselves to use every means in their power to secure the passage of some bill to the extent of the constitutional authority of Congress for the construction of a Padific Railroad from the Mississippi River to tho Pacific Ocean, at the earliest practicable moment * The report was signed by Messrs. Burrow, of Arkansas; McGowan, of South Carolina; Jackson, of Georgia; Hunter, of Louisiana; Stockdale, of Texas; Borksdale, of Mississippi; Envin, of Alabama; and TVhiteley, of Deleware. % 'Hon. James Simons, of South Carolina, moved that the report be printed and made tho special order lor , to-morrow, at 11 o'clock. He thought it would be premature to debate it now. A general debate sprung up tvliich consumed the morning session, and on motion of Mr. Tison, of Mississippi, the Convention adjourned until S o'clock this evening. ' . The Convention ro-asscmbled at-8 o'clock. --- Mr. Hatch, of Louisiana, stated in behalf of the Louisiana delegation, that they were not ready to act upon the question before the Convention. He, therefore, ^ moved that the Convention adjourn until to-morrow at 12 o'clock. The motion was agreed to, and thereupon the Convention adjourned. ' _ After ibe adjournment of the Convention, the audience assembled-ia the Theatre was addressed, in able imd.eloquent specches,?by Mesers Yancey, of Alabama, .Barry, of Mississippi, Meek, of Alabama, Parsons, of TeJB?, Milton, of Florida, and other gentlemen. ' COMMUNICATION. .Ms. Editor:?The Town Council of CamdeD have dosed the contract with the former owner of the Negro; Burying Ground, and it now belongs to the Town. V: Every citizen of Camden and Kirkwood feels a deep interest in whatever concerns the comfort, and adds to the happiness of their slaves. For years past they have been very much crowded, for want of room to buiy their dead; now this has been remedied. The Town Marshal has been required to lock up tlio gate and keep tho key. at. the Guard Room, where it 4 can always bo found. Would it not be well for all owners of slaves to per-jtS .mit them?or as many as can be spared?to go to the / Burying Ground on Thursday next, and, under the direction of the Marshal, clear and trim up the trees, and lay out the unoccupied ground outside of the woods, in^quares and streets, so that all could be acts oommodated, without interfering with the graves of those who have been long buried there, as I have often wen in digging new graves 1 I hbpe thjs suggestion will meet with a hearty response, as the Marshal has agreed to attend there on Thursday next, for the pur* y . pose above designated. % A CITIZEN. _ . ' The Corrie Case. ^ The Charleston papers published the decision of JudgeMagrath in the case of tho United States vs. W. C. Corrie. The Meicury refers to the decision and / Bays: ' The Judge refuses to allow the case to be transferred to toe (State 01 Vxeorgm, ur uiat a. ituttc yivov^Kt ouutu,* be entered by the Distric1 Attorney in-order that the accused should be tried in that State. Judge Magrath has ably argued his position, and has presented the Act of 1820? in a new light. He denies that importing Africans into this conntry, who were not free in Africa, to an offence against that act, and punishably as piracy . The 'act contemplates the seizure in _ importation of rpersons who are free. Now, as the United States, in _& prosecution, can never prove this of any Africans brought from Africa, the presumption being the contrajy, the act is pretty much a dead letter. The Judge's decision certainly does great credit to the Bench, whose independence he vindicates, and to himself, for the rvf ED.?-war rearors will see that our ant/cipation, that the Ceavention eonld not agree on a nomination of candicatos forJbe Presidency, is realized. Teaterday, on the meeting'of the Convention, Mr. Russell, of Virginia, moved that the Convention should adjonrd, to meet in Baltimore on the 18th June, and that the Democracy tnhA-fitham om tfOMnrtlea tn flia VH bUO Tf ur v vHviv w fovauvng ut tuo u^iv^utioii, be requested to fill the same. The Convention is under the control of the Northern States, which seem determined to rule the nominations, or to have none. The Southern States, whicluact with them, appear to be not only very patient, but cheerful, under their domination. The inequality of power whereby Northera States, that were hopelessly anti-Democratic, would ipnle the Southern States, which were reliably Demo^ cratio?the.antagonism of interests and of principles? rendered the whole afl'air as absurd in its termination.

Tuesday, '2ay 8. 1880. THO. J. WARREN, Editor. Terrifclc CataKtroplic. . Our community is overwhelmed in gloom, in conse- j. quence of a most heart-rending disaster, which occurred on Saturday afternoon lust, about 5 o'clock, at 0 Bovkin's Mill, eight miles from town. In the morn- j t ? ?*! ing, a parly 01 mutes ana gcuuemen irom nm. t; the neighborhood met at tho place mentioned, on a Pic-Sic excursion, aud after spending the most of tho "] day, concluded iu the afternoon to get aboard a Flatboat near the shore, for the purpose of going out into the pond. Some fifty persons, it is said, got on, and s the Flat was moved off, and when about fifty or sixty j yards out iuto the water, it is supposed that it struck v a snng, which caused the boat to commence leaking, L and, in a few minutes, from the heavy weight upon it, ^ commenced sinking. In the consternation which seized j: hold upon the party, man}- jumped overboard, and out \ of the uumbor, we are pained to say that twenty-four c persons were drowned?mostly ladies. Others, more t fortunate, were just saved, mainly through the assist- t ance of those who had not left the Flat, or went to their , rescue from the shore. - ?

In I every direction distress and lamentation might have c been witnessed, and our sj-mpathizing, noble-hearted a community, wero all alive in ministrations of kindness 1 and sympathy?visiting the stricken homes of our 11 reared and deeply afflicted fellow-citizens. Everything that the most thoughtful and unremitting kind- r ness and attention could suggest, was promptly done n to soothe the crushed and broken-hearted relatives of 1 the unfortunnte victims. Inasmuch as it was a public calamity, it was thought 1 best to make a common burial, and to tliis end, funeral c services were held over the following in the Methodist v Church, at 4 o'clock:? Miss Elizabeth McKaoes, Miss Louisa S. Net; 1 tles, the Misses McKows, Miss Howell, Miss His- 1 son, Miss Alexander, Messrs. L. R. and W. C. Le- r Grand, and Master "William McKagex. Rev. E. J.

In just such a place as dear old Camden we want to live, and when our summons comes, among our ?wn sainted dead, to be burried and mingle our dust.

We have been requested to state that a number of boys of the town, are in the habit of frequenting tho Rail Road Depot, and on tho arrival of the Passenger Cars, of jumping on whilst the train is in motion. This is exceedingly dangerous, and if persisted in, will eer, tainly lead to the most serious consequences in some of them ;;ctting injured, if not killed. -Tho officers of tho Road inform us that they have used every means to prevent it, but without success. They now appeal to parents to exercise their authority before it is too late. Several narrow escapes have bceu made, and these should be a warning in time. Fiirnm Itereived. "Whilst in Charleston, during a part of the Convention, we were placed under repeated obligations to several of our kind and esteemed fricuds; especially to Mr. W. F.

He will not be forgotten, and the teeming Press will herald his name upon its myriad wings through the whole length and breadth of the land. Mr. Joseph Walker, 120 Meeting-Street General Newspaper Agent, had also provided amply for the accommodation of the Press, and he has received their unanimous and grateful acknowledgements for his thoughtful and valuable arrangements for their convenience and accommodation. We are especially under obligations to our esteemed friends of the Charleston Courier and Mercury, for kind attentions, and subsequently to Mr. Geo. A.

It lias been a marked session, and one vkich has demonstrated to the world the utter futility if attempting longer to bolster up a great National inrty where antipodal sentiments and interests are evolved. The point is made, and nothing short of the otal abandonment of positiou, on one side or the other, J iin possibly produce coalescence. The Platform of ' he Original or National Convention, ignores protection ' o Slave property, leaving it still an open question, and 1 vorse, so far as it practically applies to the South, than "1 in abstraction. 'We have felt long-since satisfied, that .he South was leaning upon a broken reed, in depending j ipon the Democracy of the North and North West, or the maintainance of her equaliiy and rights in the 1 iresent confederacy, and from personal and careful jbservation of men and principles, as recently shown* ' ire more than ever satisfied that ou.r peace ar.d sofety lever can lie in any National party. ^ Our object, how* 1 sver, at present is merely *o announce the ormination if the National Convention at Charleston, and to state ,bat it lias adjourned to meet in Baltimore on the 18th 1 if June next. rhc Southern Democratic Coiivcn- 1 tion. * We have devoted our entire first page to the proceedings of the Conventions in Charleston for a largo iart of the past week. Wo were entirely prepared for the result of the ; iroceedings in the National Convention, in the with- j Irawal of the several southern delegations on the 1 idoption of a Squatter Sovereignty Platform, which i gnored the protection of Slave property in tho Common 1 territory. , i iiowever, mucn 01 an ausiracuon. wis principle muy i eera in the estimation of certain small cuhbred politi:ians and temporising hair splitting apologists for inbmission, we are satisfied that a vital principle is at , itake just here, and now that the issue has been fairly iod unequivocally made the Southern, or at least, the ; ,'otton States, should present a unit to our enemies, ,< t will prove a proud day for the South, if her people tand up squarely for their rights, and one good effect ( it least in the late dismemberment of the last National >arty in the UnilJn, will be to give an impetus to the ause of Southern Rights, which we trust demagogues nd Pup pensioners with the myriad of lesser lights hat revolve in tbr orbit of the grestcemral power can iever check. .

Kail Road Ittceting.s - p , We observe the proceedings of a meeting recently ; telcl St Bethel Church, in the Fork of Little and Big synches Creek, published in the Sumter Watchman. The object of the meeting, it apjiears, was for the pur- ] iose of receiving conditional subscriptions for a Rail toad from Florence via Bishopville to Lancasterville, md, for the appointment of delegates to a Convention o be held at Bishopville oryihe 15th inst. < i Inasmueh'as themeetingj/as held in Kershaw Dis- \ Bistrict, and has repeatedly requested any District aews, which would bo published cheerfully, for the information of its readers, it strikes us as a singularly anusual proceeding thut a report of said meeting i should bc'published, by Resolution, "in tho Lancaster J Ledger and Sumter papers,'' without designation of \ht District popcr in which the meeting was held. If , ,ve are only to be included with "all other journals in avor of this enterprise," in the Resolution of publication, then of course we are not asked, or expected to publish the proceedings, and this we trust will oe indcrstood as a very obvious reason why they do net ippear in our paper. We would most cheerfully have opened our columns 'or that purpose, hai any intimation been given Va i lesire on the part of those having the matter in hand. However, much we might differ in our judgment in egard to Rail Road connections with Lancaster, this vould never havo influenced us in making war upon i iny movement for the benelit of any portion of our District. We flatter ourself that we have atlcast maglanimity enough to give all a candid hearing and a air chance. , The May Party. On Wednesday evening last, the young ladies of drs. McCaxdless' Sfminnry, afforded our citizens the ileasure of witnessing their annual May-day Festival, it our new and elegant Town Hall. At an early hour the Hall was well filled with the epresentatives of age. youth and childhood, all eager or a participation in the scenes ol the joyous occasion. About 9 o'clock a procession was formed, under diection of Mrs. W. M. Shannon, and marched toaspaeiius platform, erected for a temporary throne, upon which he Chair of State had been placed for the reception of her ' ?lor}tl Highness, Miss SaLUeE. Lvi.es, who, surrounded iy her fair Maids of Ilonof, was soon gracefully address- 1 d by the i st Ckowxer. Miss Ml~c$ie Axcecm, as bllows:? ' "The glorious Spring again has come, On her triumphal way, With captives blight, from beauty's realm, To owj) her gentle sway; And we have come, oh I Maiden fair, With flowing garlands gay. To wreath around thy golden hair, And crown line Queen of May." "The soft bluo skies above us bend, The angel's home of light, And earth sends up her fragrant breath, In hi-r rmsn beantv briirlit: i While whispering leaves and quiet shades,. And wild birds choral lav, . < And all bright things that 'round us smile, i Proclaim thee Queen of May." , ' The holy spell of this sweet hour, 1 Alas! it Chuuot stay, And the blithe month of buds and flowers, Must haste like youth away ; But Oh! we'll cherish in coming years, The memory of this day, When our hearts were gay as the floral wreath, That crowns thee Queen of May." Here a beautiful wreath of Spring's sweetest flowers vere placed by geutlc hands upon the Queen's fair odng brow, and the following address beautifully re- ' >c:ited by tie 2nd Reader, Miss Nannie Shannon: ' "With a wreath of simple flowers, Gathered from the Spring's bright bowers, f Thus wc crown thee, dearest, Whilo thine eye, undimm'd by sorrow, Looketh forward to a morrow, Fuircst, brightest, clearest." Royalty oft' times we know, ] Prcsscth with a weight of woe, i On the young heart's gladness; i Yet we hope the fealty, 1 Which we lowly bow to thee, 1 May bring no drear sadness." i "Thus, gentle one! while restet'n now, ' The royal crown upon thy brow, We hail tliee Queen of May! / Short though thy present reign may be, May joy await your majesty, Throughout its gentle sway." ^1' j j At the conclusion of thb, the Sceptre Bearer, Miss Iallie boykin, approaeliitl the Queen, and gracefully :iieeling, presented tlie Scpptrfl in the following npiropriate words: ' / "Fair Queen I we have Seen the crown placed upon our royal brow, and to thatch the only gems which tlorn it, fresh and giowiu; blossoms we add this other leeting symbol of your bfltiming majesty.
