It is no longer a matter of doubt as to the holdiugof a convention, on the first of next month, of such Republicans as seek a reform in the present administration of the Government iu nearly all its departments. Such men as B. Gratz Blown. Carl Schurz. Lyman Trum- I bull, Horace Greoly, have declared themselves J iu favor of such a reform, and the mighty I hosts are prepariug for another contest at the polls. The Cincinnati Convention, if it carries out the declared purpose of its probable leaders, will adopt a platform of which amnesty, civil service reform, the abolition of government patronage to sworn supporters regardless of character, the return to constitutional principles, will be some of the features. 11'that Convention should adopt and declare such a platform, in uo material, or important respect difi'ercut from that! adopted by tho Reformers of this State two ! years ago, then it would behove us to reflect whether vse cannot organize a party here upon the same platform. If there be anyifcopc ; of succeeding, let us organize, but if not, Jet1 us not help Grant by causing a heavy major-1 ity to be rolled up here for liim, which! would be the case if we fought a regular j campaign. It is thought that a great many ' ? '-i: - ..c i XlC'puUilWiia tuuuwuvw uiv vu*j huhiii^ w , see if the acliou of the Cincinnati Convention will be such as they can consistently take hold ou, and if the callers really seek a reformation in the government, and if so, they > will then declare'themselves as Liberals and ' throw themselves into the scales of reform. Lhero may bo a very serious schism in the dominant party of this States if Moses opposes Scott for Governor. Were we called upon to make choice between these two, we would go for Scott, but suppose there be a third man from their ranks who seeks gubernatorial honors, a man such as Judge Orr, or Judge Melton or Graham. Each of these, though a deserter of his brethren, is a : ?ffiiofT- mon flinn more lfsjiutiauic, auu nuovj or Closes. besides, wo understand that there is to be an effort to establish a Government whoso officials will all be colored. F. L. Cardoza for Governor, Ilonry Cardoza Sec'y State&c, would jrobably constitute some of the lights of that effort. Can such an effort succeed? If the leaders of such a movement can procure a majority of followers in the Nominating Convention, they will be very apt to succeed, for their nominees will be regular, while any others would be outside bolters. Let them once secure the regular nominations, and they will succeed, unless the discipline of the Radical party h.'ia grown more ! lax in the last two years. As yet, we see no reason to believe that we, the minority in South Caroliua, can benefit ourselves other- j wise than by pursuing a course similar to ; that indicated by us a short time since, to. j . ..... flr.lrof wticro rw> f?jinin:iiom lint. ! wit. i uu I.w ? i~ e--j whenever an J wherever an opportunity pre- j sents itself to better ourselves in a local elec- j tiun, seize it and turn it to the best advan-1 tage.

JJU.4.-V .? , message giving the reasons which induced (tic ' suspeur>ion of civil liberty in certain portions 1 of the State of South Carolina, which amounts to nothing less than a vindictive attack upon ' a portion of the country he is sworn to defend, j The document hears more of the impress of tho reckless assertions of a stump orator than the magnanimous policy of a just ruler, and from the extravagance of the charges it is quite evident that this State paper was prepared with the view of cngendciing bitter feelings to affect the resulted'a political campaign. The broad and shameful charges wade against the people which he has, in the opiniou of many of tho prominent uien of his own party, oppressed unnecessarily, is only another proof of the desperate efforts that are to be made to secure a re-election by j arousing hostilities. The vindictiveness of this document caused a universal feeling of disgust to pervade the House, and led some of the Democratic members to stigmatize its , assertions as untrue, and the failure of any ; of the Republican side to attempt its vindi- j eation is undoubted evidence of their want of belief in the charges and their utter destitution of defence. No attempt was made to debate, but the Democrats gave notice that j they wonld, at the proper time, entirely re- I fute each statement made: and would by a ; production of the proofs show the degrading ; position in which the President had placed j himself. The slander?for the message is nothing else but slanderous charges upon the people of South Carolina?is as follows: To tlu: House of Representatives:?In answer to the Resolution of the FIouse of Representatives of January 23, I have the honor to submit the following, accompanied by the report of the Attorney General, to whom the resolutions were referred: Representations having been made to mo that in certain portions of South Carolina a condition of lawlessness and terror existed, I requested the then Attorney General (Akcriaan) to visit the Shite, aud after personal examination, to report to me tho facts on the subject. On the 16th of October la> t lie addressed a communication from South Carolina in which he stated that in the counties of York, Spartanburg, Laurens, Lancaster, Chester, Union, Newberry, Fairfield and -Chesterfield, ilitere were combinations for a?em uiwmwwm?n?? hi ibh iwwmww? ?w the purpose of preventing the free political actions of citizens who were friendly to the 1 Constitution and Government of the Uuited I States, and of depriving the emancipated I class of the equal protection of the laws.? i These combinations embrace at least two- 1 thirds of the activelyliitc men of those coun- i ties, and have the sympathy and countenance < of the majority of the other third. They arc 1 connected with smilar combinations in other i counties and States, and ar arc, no doubt a 1 part of a grand system of criminal associations pervading the Southern States. The i members are bound together by oaths which ; they arc taught to regard as of higher obligation than the lawful oath taken before a magistrate; they are organized and armed; they effect their objects by persona! violence; i often extending to murder; they terrify witnesses, they control juries in the State courts, and some times in the courts of Uni ed States. Systematic spying is ono of the means by which prosecution of members is defeated. From information given by officers of the State and of the United States, 1.,. ..Kin nriv.itfi riorsons.T am ius UliU VI VUiCUk/iV ? ? ?? ? -j ? ^ tilled in affirming that the instances of personal violence perpetrated by the members of those combinations within the last twelve months in the above named counties could be reckoned by thousands. 1 received information of similar import from various sources, among which worn the Joint Committee of Congress on Southern Outrages, the officers of the State, the Military officers* of the United States on duty in South Carolina, the United States Attorney and Marshal, and other officers of the Government, repentant and adjuring members of these unlawful organizations, persons especially employed by the department of justice to detect crimes again t the United States, and from other credible sources.? Most, if not all this information, except that obtained from the Attorney General, came to me orally, and was to the effect that said counties were under the control of powerful organizations, properly known as tho "KuKlux Klati," tlicobjcct3 of which were, by force and terror to prevent all political action not in accord with the views of its members, to deprive colored citizens of the right to a free ballot, to suppress schools in which colored children were taught, and to reduce the colored people to a condition nearly allied to that of slaves; that these combinations were organized and armed, aj^l had rendered the local law-ineffectual to protect the class ofeifizens whom they wished to oppress; tSut they had committed many murders and hundreds of crimes of minor degice. all of which were unpunished, and that witnesses could not safely testify in court there unless the uiorc active members were placed under restraint. (Signed) U. S. GRANT, Executive Mansion, Ajirilldlh, 1872. It wiii thus be seen that s President of the United States has descended to appear before the country as the vindictive enemy of a helpless people, and who, to achieve certain ends of his own, is willing to destroy the social as "well as public standing of the citizens of a portion of the country. The intention of this "message" is two-fold : first, to inflame the public mind, and by the aid of his reckless supporters attempt to create a new the old feelings of sectional hatred; and second, to force through the exhibition of this distorted picture the passage of the extension of bayonet rule over the South. It hits been developed during the lastfdtt weeks, that many prominent Radicals have reponted of placing so great power in the hands of such and indiscrete Chief Magistrate, and are also becoming alarmed at tbe feeling which is arisingat the prospect of forcing the election of Grant at the point of the bayo ? 1 '1 1 _f_A not, and in consequence hits norriuic picture is drawn to increase the ill-feeling of the JSudical Congressmen, and induce them, while wholly under this feeling, to acquiesce the wishes of the reckless leaders, and vote to allow the Southern vute.to be manipulated by the army ring in the interests of the Philadelphia nominee: The message was refcrre 1 to the committee 011 the Insurrectionary Sta-es. The Great Eastern.?Many ofour readers will recollect the excitement in the world over the launching of the Great East:rn sonic years ago. This mammoth steamer was originally designed as the forerunner of a fleet of similar vessels to bring Europe and the cast into closer communication. After she had made one or two (rips, however, the company owning her, opened their eyes to the fact that they had indeed got air elephant on tbjir hands.. It became apparent that she could not be made to pay. The expenses of running her were vust, and it was demonstrated that it was almost impossible to procure suflicient freight or passengers to justify her being kept in the service for which she was intended. She was the frst, ami will prob ably be the last vessel of'her size in the world, and would long ago have been dismantled and broken up had not a new use been focud for her, viz: The laying of deep sea telegraph cables,. Since 1805 she has been exclusively devoted to submarine telegraphic purposes, and since that time has laid in different parts of of the world 20,000 miles of deep sea cable?all of which is now in good working order. The capital invested in these various cables is estimated at $35,000,000. The services, then, rendered to commerce and navigation by ilie Great Eastern, are almost incalcnlab e. !i imc has been anihilatcd, and all the fiuiilios of men brought within speaking dist nice of each other by her assissaucc. But for the Great Eastern, it is almost ccr tain that the Atlantic cable would not liave been laid. The lingo vessel was alone capable of affording the adulate accommodations necessary lor stowing away the thousands of miles of heavy cable necessary, and, above all she alone was found to possess the evenness or steadiness requisite for paying it out without difficulty or disaster. The Tress (Philadelphia) well says : ' The stem purpose of the patriotism of the country must not be relaxed until life and liberty are secure in every township of the South?until every acre of its rich soil shall bloom with the prosperity of free labor." Good ! capital! excellent! But, neighbor 1 suppose the villianswho run the government of South Carolina (for instance) in the abused and disgraced name of Republicanism, persist in stealing more every year than the surplus product of this free labor," so as to < sink the people deeper and deeper into debt < in spite of the best exertions, what do you 1 propose to do about it ??New York Tribune, i t ; ' L 1 1- """tow ' ' _ Ax Ungrateful Railroad.?Jones bad beard about a widow who bad saved a train of cars from destruction by warning the engineer as the train approached that a certain bridge had been washed away^ aud who was liberally rewarded, receiving a pass Tor life ou nearly all the railroads in the country, and a present of ten thousand dollars from the company whoso- train she saved; so Jones thought it pretty prolitable business, and concluded he'd tnrjt. lie lived near a railroad brpjge, and he anxiously watched and waited for it to wash away, feeling sure that it must #9 sometime, livery rainy night he got up and paced the floor by spells, then took his umbrella and went out to see if the bridge was beginning to go; but it was not gone. <*r At last lie concluded that if an accident would not happen of its own accord, he would make one to order, so he got up a high bank at the side of the traqk ono afternoon and rolled a big stone down upon the track. t It was just a few moments before the lightning express was due, and throwing off his coat and hat so as to appear as excited as possible, be went forth to meet it. lie saw it coming in the distance, so ho tied a red cotton handkerchief to a hoe^ handle and waved it above his head in a wild, excited manner, as a signal of danger." But he presented such a singular appearance that the engineer thought him a crazy tnan escaped from a tieigliboring lunatic ?*t urn, and so paid no heed to him, and thtwrain thundered on. JL There was a sudden whfelle of t'dowu brakes," a rapid reversing of the engine, then a terrible crash. The tram was wrecked; the engineer and^firemen were instantly killed, the conductor and all the brakemen dangerously if not fatally wounded, and about ten per cent, of the passengers horribly mangled. Jones didn't get a pass for / life on the principal railroads of the qountry and a nurse of ?10.000, but he got; ten years in X . _ the penitentiary for manslasgbter; having been seen by a neighbor when in the act of rolling the rock on the track ~"wbu:h caused the calamity. And now he is learning to manufacture shoes by the original process, and is of the opinion that railroads are a^curse to the country. A Stolen Will?A Brooklyn Estate of $250,000 Involved.?flaring the winter Mr. Harvey Or. Law, a wealthy resident of Brooklyn, E. I)., died at his residence, 215 South Ninth street, leaving an estate valurd at from 8250,00(Tto $300,000. At the time of his death j>Ir. Law's only daughter was in Europe on a wedding tour. On hearing of the death the bridal party returned and took up their residence in the Law mansion. On Tuesday evening at about 7 o'clock, while the afflicted family were dining in the basement, their colored servant heard a noise on the second story, and he wont toasceitaiu the cause ofit He had no sooner reacheJ the locality of the noise than a person dressed in the cost jmc of the devil?as represented on trie stage?prt-acin.ed a pistol to Ids head. This unexpected demonstration quite demoralized the poor servant, and he uttered no alarm. The s; tanic apparition then descended to the basement, protruded his horns into tho dining room, terrifying those at dinger. Having succeed in accomplishing tbt&TcUi he left the mansion uninulested. "V* After the fiend's departure the family found that Mr. Law's will, a gold watch, other articles of jewelry and papers of greatvalue were missing. Aud thereby-hangs a tale. Another one of General Grant's friends and appointees (says the Philadelphia Aye) has been indulging in a little '> Radical financiering. Geo. T). Orncr, Collector of Revenue for the Fifth District of Missouri, has only served two years, and ycfc his records 3how that he is 8100,000 behind in pacing over government money-; 850.000 per year in addition to his regular pay is good wages for Orner,, who is a red hot supporter nf C! rant for rcnomination, and denounces Sumner, Trumbull and Schurzns traitors and disloyal men. In all quarters of the country. General Grant's office-holders are stealing the people's money, in sums from one hundred dollars to a half a million. And what is done to punish the guilty parties and protect the Treasury ? Nothing. Political influences arc brought to bear upon the Government; the ability of the cufprits to elect delegates stated, and there the matter ends. In the case of Orner this path will be followed, and he will enjoy his plunder in pcagc. A Queer. Case.?Dr. II. Vogcl, writing from Germany to the Philadelphia Pholoffrajihrr, relates a queer case. A photographer made pictures of two brothers, who refused to take or pay for tho them, on the ground that they were not likenesses. The artist complained, but the judge was of the same opinion as the brothers, and decided that the pictures were not likenesses. Mr. Photographer then went home with his rejected pictures and placed them in his show window, with the label. "The Murderers of Mrs. X." The brothers then waited on the artist and alleged that it was a libel to expose their pictures with such ittitlc, and on his refused to remove the placard they entered suit. It wmains to he seen how the judge vi'it In this new phase of the affair.? Scientific Amer 'can. Georgia ami mh-tii Cauolixa WtitpPF.n.?On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, of last week, a great chicken dispute came off in the fcity of New Orleans. The fight was "Georgia and South Carolina against the United States." Mr. John A. Bolder, of this city, representing Georgia, and Cel. Thomas G. Bacon, of Edgefield, South Carolina. The bets were two hundred dollars on each fight and twenty-five hundred dollars on the main. Thirty-one cocks were shown on each side, and twentylive birds matched The South Carolinians and Gcrgians were defeated by three lights. A very large amount of money changed hands on the result. A painter being asked to estimate the cost of painting a certain house, drew forth pencil and paper and made the following calculation: 4iA naught is a naught; three into five twice you can't; I'll paint your house for fifty dollars." A Southern newspaper gets indignant because a Northern writer has said that the women of the South are indolent, and then concedes the whole case by declaring that :<they have dono nothing" to deservo such an accusation. At the Roman Catholic Cathedral, in Rochester, New York, on Sunday, the 7th instant, Bishop McQuaid informed his people that hereafter not more than twelve hacks would bo allowed in a funeral proeession. Those who came with a greater equipage would find the cemetary gates locked. Nor would fuucruls bo allowed on Sunday if they, could be conveniently arranged for another day. Priests will not be permitted in funerdiscourses to indulge in any eulogy of the deceased. Thoso who did not like these regulations, the Bishop said, might have their funerals outsido tlio walls of the Church. The Detroit River tunnel excavation is now under the River a distance of 155 feot. Philadelphia is in a state of expectancy ove a movement going on in the Legislature to have the State capital removed thither from Harrisburg. The largest rope in the world has been completed in Birmingham. It is about six miles long, five and a quarter inches in circumference, and weighs over sixty tons. Unprecedented Success.?Within the past year 200.000 boxc3 of Dr. Tutt's Vegetable Liver Pills have been sold, and not a single instance is known where they have failed to give satisfaction. If you would enjoy lie, have a fine appetite and robust health, use these Pills. Dr. W. IT. Tntt: Augusta, Nov., 1S69. It affords me much pleasure to testify to great value of your Liver Pills. They are all they are represented to be. In my opinion, there are no Pills so well adapted to the Southern climate as they are. Yours truly. JOS. BRUMMEL, latp of Richmond, Va.

Dead on Dvino.?Where the hair i3 unnaturally dry, you may be sure that it is dying; and uules3 artificially vitalized, it will soon be as dead as leaves in November. Feed the withering fibers and stimulate the \ torpid scalp with Lyon's Kathairon, and the evil, which must otherwise soon culminate in t...lJ..?o0 Kn remedied. It is UUlUUtsCD, mil 1/v V|fvvviky ..? absolutely necessary for the health of tho brain, that it be kept moderately moist with a preparation capable of nourishing and invigorating it. Lyon's Kathairon fulfills these conditions, and is the only article that actually puts neto life into the capillary tubes, through which the natural nourishment has ceased to pass. This pure and harmless [ vegetable preparation is absored by the skin of the head to the roots of the hair, and passes into the filaments by the force of capillary attraction Died Suddenly op Heart Disease.? flow common is the announcement. Thousands arc suddenly swept into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has its origin in impure blood filled with irritating. poisonous materials, which, circulating through the heart, irritate itsdelicatc tissues. Though the irritation may at first be only slight, producing a little palpitation or irregular action, yet by and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and inflammation or hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining membrane or of the valves, is produced. How wise to give early atention to a case of this kind. Uunat-urul throbbing or pain in " l-?i j :ui. tlie region 01 me neart bhouiu aimuiuuun one that ?I1 is not right, and if you would preserve it frnin further disease, you must help it to beat rightly by the use of such a remedy as shall remove the cause of the trouble. Use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated, and it will, by its great blood purifying and wonderful regulating properties, effect a perfect cure. It contains medicinal properties which act specifically ipon the tissues of the heart, bringing about a healthy action. Suid by all first-class druggists. The Trie Grounds of Confidence.? Whence comes that firm reliance, that absolute. undiuibting confidence in the efficacy of Ilostetter's Stomach Hitters, as a remedy for dyspepsia, for liver disorders, intermittent and remittent fevers, which notoriously prevail in all "parts of the United States?? This confidence has been growing for twenty years, and is still extending. It is not the result of credulity, it has not been engendered by any human device, but is the spontaneous and natural consequence of experience. What people see daily going on under their own eyes tliey cannot question. When families in unhealthy districts, that resort to this wholesome vevetable tonic, as a preventative escaper periodical levers, ana tneir linuicuiate neighbors, who neglect this precaution arc prostrated by disease, how is it possible that the lesson should be without its effect ? In like manner when it is seenthutobstinate cases of dyspepsia, liver complaint, of constipation, of nervous weakness and of general debility yield to the operations of this famous remedy, how can even incredulity itself, withhold its endorsement ? Kyc-witnesses of the salutary effects oftheso famous bitters are to be found in every inhabited district on this continent. The thousands upon thous. amis who owe their restoration to strength and health to or their preservation from sickness, to its extraordinary medicinal properties. are enthusiastic in its praise. The multitudes who recommend it in a neighborly way to their friends and acquaintances,as well as those who make public their estimate of its virtues, arc always ready to state tneir reason for the faith that is in them. They have all cither felt or witnessed its bcnificial effects. New AdvertisementsLICENSE TAX NOTICET Office County Auditor. Camden S. C'., April 1S72.
