Loo as, Esq., la the only authorised Agency for this paper in Charleston. Baltimore Convention. The National Democratic Convention is now io session nt Baltimore. Thomas Jcr. VEssoN RAXDotru, of Virginia, was elected temporary Chairman, and B. O. Prince, of Massachusetts, temporary Secretary. Near ly all the delegations ara full. The quee tioa is the straight oat Domination or limply endorsement of the Ciooionati nom inees. We have waited the issuing of oar pn<per until 2 o'clock, P. U., Wednesday, but we hare no news ot the reiult ol the deliberations of the convention. Feeling enured there will be but two candidatss in the held for the Preaideney, wa have hoisted Gbesley and Blows. Unity of Action. The only way the people of Greenville County, who desire to retain in office men of capacity and capability, as oar County offices are now filled, is unity of action.? Personal considerations must be throwD aside and lost sight of in the general welfare. It is of more importance to us that we elect good and competent court-house officers than that of the highest in the Stste or in Congress. This our people feel and so they will act. Already we have heard several of those offering for office say that tney sic ueieruiioeu io auiae oy n.e 1101111nations to bs made by the Township delegate*, who are to meet in this City on sales-da7 in August; and the auppoitTSof the Cincinnnti platform will give but little countenance to nny others, therefore, independent candidates and all others will find cold comfort in the cauvass. This is right, and will no doubt be adhered to. In the lust election, it wilt le remembered, the vote received by even the most popular outsiders did not afford them a ghost of a chance of success, and we h"pe all will bear it in miud. The opposition will no doubt do its utmost to sleet its nominees, but no fear need be entertained, as Geklbt and Brown will cnrry this County, beyond a question ; only the friends of good government and reform must be equal to the hour, 'and give their support promptly at tho polls. The Republican vote will be drilled, and there must be no lack of Interest or divisions in our ranks. Pay Up. Those indebted to this Office, are requested 10 call and settle. This is the mid. months. Advertisers and subscribers will nleace take notice, as we need the monev Editorial Visit. Mr. Tnos. F. (Iresikrr, Editor of the Newberry Herald, called one day this week, at oar office, and we regret not being present to greet bim, as it always affords us pleasure to meet our brethren oi the press. Mr. Greniki.ii is in bad health, and is spending a time at Chick Springs for re-euperation, and we wish him a speedy restoration to health. The !! raid is one of our best and most spicy weekly exchanges. The Article of "J. B. H." We publish on the fourth page the article of " J. It. 11," on the political situation. The Enterprise has always made it a rule to give s-pace to properly written articles on both sides of political questions of the day. We do not propose to criticise or review it, as the intelligent reader will see at a glance that it is intended alone for those oestring to see Grant re-elected io prefer encc to Mr. Greeley, although the latter is quite as good a Republican, and a more honest and incorruptible man. ?Money Restored. une uny lan week, whilst walking along our street*, Mr. J. Dunklin Sullivan picked up a roll of Greenbacks, containing a very convenient little s u m of money, lie at onee handed it to a friend, telling him to find the owner, if he could; the latter advertised it in the Enterprise, and next day the owner walked up and described the hills and named the amount, and thereupon recived his money. We like to record instances of restihution of this charoc- i Itr ; it shows honorable characteristics. Minutes of Presbytery. We have been handed a copy of the minutes of the 178th and 179th sessions of I the Presbytery of South Carolina, held at Suinterville, Nov J 6th, 1871, and at Abbeville, April 10, 11, 12, and 13, 1872. At the latter place, twenty-four ministers we-s i present, and thirty-two ruling elders. The 1 Presbytery has under its care fifty six I churches, thirty ministers, two licentiates, I and ten ministeiial candidates. Those were reported within the bounds of Pres- J bytery, 178 Sunday School teachers; 1,017 < VVIilMjni?, CTtiai^C ItCUUIIUUD VI iCICIierF, I 10*2; average of chollars, 565. The com* I mittee of finance reported the collection, since last meeting, for the various chureb purposes, of $1,288.76. ' . . i Large Cottou Btaik t We have been shown a Cotton Stalk, 1 grown by Mr. D. 1. Armstrong, fourteen miles below, in this Coonty, on a place of Mr. Ssvsll Thomasow, which was at least two feet high, and bore eighty squares and /oruw ; it Is very rieh in appearance, throw* ^ log out rigorous branches. This stalk was , pulled from a patch growing on unmsnur* ed land, but of the beat quality If tMn ia an indication of the ooming fall crop, our | people oi*y expect a very abundant bar- ( teat and great proap?*rity, and we hape it ie. a The fourth la OlMBTlll?

Specchea worn likcwlao made by Ban Donaldsow, colored, and J. M. Ronton, Esq., County Auditor. We did not hear of any diaturbance of any consequence occurriug daring the Weather and Oropa. Showers and hetvy rains hare fallen about ererr other day for the past week, and now tbe ground is thoroughly and completely wet, every porlien of the County baring received the benefits of watery visitations. We bare conversed with gentlemen from the various sections of Greenville County, in reference to the growing crops, and fr*m each we receive the same information. The cotton is doing as well aa could possibly be asked, making progress that is truly gratifying. Corn is also doing well, there has been almost if not quite sufficient rain to secure a splendid bar* est. The stalk, in some portions, where longest without rain, will be small, but the grain will develops fully as well notwithstanding.? From the representations made to us, we feel | confident tbe prospect at present, is most promising, exceeding that of any former year since the war. Everybody feels glad and joyful. Subscnbo Now. We continue to give from eighteen to twenty columns of reading matter every week, [ which wo endeavor to embrace in variety.? Qov.

Orul *h * dk|rvfd drunktrd Won the war, aad had to mign hU commission la tho ira; to hoop from being cashiered 1 Greeley has shown himself, by his speeches aad writing*, to bo a man of talents aad Ability. Grant haa never written anything that oviaeod tho loaat ability, and ho haa never boon ablo to mako a epeech at all! Daring tho war ho diaplayod no military gonioa what* or or, aad aft or sacrificing on* bnndrod aad twonty thousand men, twio* General Leo'a whole foree, ho conquered only by an overwhelming force atill loft under hia command. Greeley is in favor of the constitutional rights of the States being respected, and will sacredly guard and protect them. Grant, throughout hia whole admin is (rat ion, has disregarded the rights of the Southern States, aad trampled them in the dust! Greeley is a cirilian and u statesman, and will appeal to the civil authorities for the enforcement of the laws. Grant is n successful military chieftiin, confesses in his inaugural that he " has no policy." or, in other words, is no statesman ; and he has set all law at defiance for tho last four years, and governed the Sduth by military force! He has filled the country with his troops, suspended tho writ of kabeai corput, had innocent men arrested at the hour of midnight, without warrant, and uunru on so jau! Ail tnts done in tine of profound peace, when the oiril authorities were abundantly able to enforce the law 1 Orceloy ia admitted by all to be an honeat man, governed by prineiplea, and if elected President, will appoint none but honest men to office. Orant has taken bribes! undor the name of gifts! of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and appointed the nivalis to the high, est offices in the government! His first 8oc. retary of the Treasury made him a present of fifty thousand dollars, and was appointed to office! His Secretary of the Navy and See retary of State did the same thing. Many others might he named. Lord Bacon, " the wisest, greatest of men," was disgraced and Impeached for taking gifts whilst Lord Chan* oellor, though in every inatanee he decided the law correctly. Por thia taking of gifts from parties in Court, England's greatest poet pro* nounoed him the basost of mankind ! Grant has been surronnded by official rogues and defaulters from the timo he wont into office. Ho has protected them ! If Greeley is elected, it will strike terror into the ranks of the roguish official carpetbaggers, scalawags and traitors in South Carolina. They will flee the State with their illgotten gains, as rats leave a burning house. But, if Grant is ro-elocted, they will go on stealing, till there is nothing left in the State to steal! llis bayonets will proteet them, and the negroes will be told again if they don't vote for them, they will be thrown back into slavery! Greeley was in iavor of amnesty at the close of the war, and wished " the North and South to shake hands over the grave of slavery." Grant and his partisans have denied to the wisest and best men ia the Southern States LhM,?? ft mma forced oat of them by the nomination of Greeley. Greeley was for peace after the surrender of Lee, and magnanimity on the part of the conquerors. Grant hypocritically cried out,44 Let us have peace," whilst ho was marching his Standing armies over the coantry, committing outrages on peaoeful eitiiens and stirring up strife and rebellion ! All tbe issues on which Greeley opposed the South for the last thirty years, are dead and buried. There is now no antagonism between him and us. But the iunm -?? ? us from Grant are living issues, and will continue to live aa long as he remains in the Presidency. If Greeley is elected, he will restore- the Government to Republican principles and constitutional rights, and put down corruption and dishonesty. If Grant is electeJ, he will continue his military despotism, and play the tyrant on a grand scale. If Greeloy is elected, he will live at the eat of Government, and attend to his high end responsible trusts. But Grant will, when re-elected, take up his abode at some watering place in the summer season, and trot his fast hotoes, as he has been doing for some years past, leaving all the duties of President Lo be discharged by subalterns, or be neglect?d entirely. Greeley will not do, it is hoped, as Grant i ias done?appoint all of his own and wife's cindred to fat offices, without regard to their itness or competency. General Washington md Mr. Jefferson thought this sort of nepo* i Ism infamous, and refused to appoint their 1 'elations. Grant had no aneh no?in??? ?r 1 >r and propriety about him. i Now, can any true-hearted Southern man, i rith intellect abore that of an idiot, hesitate rbich to choose, unless be is looking to Grant , r the Radical party for offioe, and disregards , he true interests of his oppressed and ruined ( ountry? Greeley is an honest man, a man j f ability and principle, the friend ef the ( louth, and friend of the constitution | nd the rights of the State). Grant takes ribcs! has around him a corrupt and em- f oldened set of rogues, scoundrels and demlters, whom he retains in office, and has ^ ustained by his bayonots the rotten regime ow ruling in South Carolina, wbioh has rob- ^ ed and squandered fifteen or twenty millions ^ f publie moneys, and increased our taxes re-fold! Four years of Grant's adminis* ration has brought all these erils upon us.? 1 to we not wish a change ? Can we surrive 0 >ur years longer under these burdens f If there is any gratitude in the breast of a * >lored man, and be has intelligence enough * > know that Greeley has done more for bis * rnfinainn Un - * ?m '* >??

Qidcon Wells, in a letter published in the St. Louis Timos, while admitting his personal ditliko of Greeley, believes he is preferable to Grant, and advocates his nomination. A delegate to the recent Democratic Con., vention at Richmond, Va., put the case neatly when ho said that the Old Dominion, at Baltimore, must " go on Greeley's bond." Mrs. Holder, wife of Rev. B.

Ibb Village Church.?Tt should not look like a barn or a storehouse. It should be a building, the very sightvof which would cause devout feelings in the breast. A welWcarved cross should point to Heaven ; massive panel* ed doors should impress the visitor with so* lemnity of the place into which he is entering ; stained glass should throw a mystic liant athwart the aisles ; pulpit, altar, ceiling and galleries should be ornamented with figurative mouldings, and the columns that support the galleries, and the balusters that rail them in should be of classic patterns. Any congrega tion wishing such a church should send theii orders for finishing material to Mr. P. P Toai.k, importer of French stained glass, an?i manufacturer of and dealer in Doors, Sashes Blinds, Ac., No. 20 Ilayne street, Charles ton, 6. C. 4-tf Midsummer Maladies The hot solar rays that ripen the harvest generate many distressing diseases. If tlx liver be at all predisposed to irregularties this is the season in which bilious attack) may be anticipated. A weak stomach, too, i: weakest in the summer months, and the losi of vitality through the pores by ezeessivi perspiration is so great, that a wholesomi tonic, combining also the properties of a dif fusive stimulant and gentle exhilirant, is ii many cases necessary to health, and under m circumstances should be dispensed with by thi sickly an4 debilitated. Of all tho prepare tions intended thus to refresh, sustain, an< lortify the human frame, there is none tha will compare with Hostetter's Celcbrutei Stomach Bitters. They have been weigh from the first as a great medicinal spe cific, not as a beverage, and in spite o: interested opposition frdtxi innumerable quarters, stand, after a twenty years trial, at the head of all proprietary medicines intended for the prevention and cure of all ordinary complaints of the stomach, the liver, the bowels, snd the nerves. In the unhealthy distrieti bordering the great rivers of California, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be classed at the starftliirrt f-. -----? ?? - - ? av> ?>?ijr ppccics oi inter| ni it tent or remittent lever. The people who inhabit those district*, place the moat implicit confidence in the preparation?a confidence that is increased every year by the results ol its operation. As bitters, so called, of the most pernicious character, are springing up like fungion every side, the public is hereby forewarned against the dram-shop frauds. Ask for llostetter's Bitters, see that the label, etc., are correct, and remember that the genuine arti* ele is never sold in balk, but in bottles only.
