GRATZ BROW If, / I mw- M r* Wo oil Ihmo that lk?M tn at this tiaa* two grant pasttes ia the United State*. Tte ?M kwiUd by tiwanl Ouat, oad known on tin Republican or Eodienl Potty, tan other is beodod by lieoaor G oaklet, and known on the olUod portion Dooooorote tod Liberal Repulieono. The Goaet party bom endeavored to keep olim the hotrod of tb* North to tbo South ond the hotrod of the colored moo to the white raoo. All that could bo noid, ond oil that coo Id bo do do, to hoop alive thooe hatred*, hoe boon done, by tb* Grant Party.? They know that their oxietenet oo a party and luoceee, depondn on tbooo living hatreds being cherished ond kopt olive! On th* contrary, the Greeley Porty, eecaponed of DonercroU ond bonnnt, patriot in oad libera! Republican*, ore in favor of restoring good feeling, and uniting tho North ond South onee more an moonciled fnllow-citinons of thin grant Republic. They wish to nee all sections Hring together in pence ond harmony and brotherly love. Moreover, they ardently with ond desire to see the colored rooe ond the white reoe living together in peeee ond harmony, ond having eooftdence in each other. These nre the distinctive chnrncteristics of the two groat portion now contending for onceodsncy in the United States. No one con truthfully deny it. The history of the two pnrtirs, everything thnt they have mid, ond everything that they hove dune, since the surrender of the Confederate armies, prove it beyond all dispute. No doubt that a great many of our readers will remember a meeting in Columbia of the oolored and white races in 1866, when General IlamptoD addressed the colored people in terms of conciliation and confidence. Senator Naeli, a colored man, on that occasion responded in a speech of great witdom and patriotism, expreaaing hit coofidenee in General Hampton, and his ardent wish to aea the two racas reconciled and harmonious Immediately after this meeting was known at the North, the alarm was given, that the white man was gaining the confidence of the colored man, and there was immediate danger of their uniting in one party as Democrats! No sooner was this alarm given, than just apprehensions were entertained at lite North that this political union of the races io the South would prove the downfall of the Republican party. The North was pretty equally divided between the two parties, and if the South was united io oce party, opposed to them, there was an end of their reign forever. In cons sequence of ibis well founded apprehension* carpet-bagger#, white and black, were sent nil over the Southern States In Sonth Carolina, there cams Hoge and Eliott, Wright, Chamberlain, and Randolph, tt id cmne f/cnut, howling, horauuas tor the freedmen, and riding into office on their shoutings ! The campslollowers, Wbilte. more. Willard, Pillsbury, Farker, Neagle, Ac., joined them?scalawags like Robertson* Mos?s, father and son, Ac., were all at once imbued with great love for the colored race, eeeing high offices to be filled, and hovort to be gained I This infamous coalition set*to work, forming Union Leagues advising the poor deluded freedmen to vote for the Radical nominees, or not to vote at h: iney loiu mfse ignorant, creouious people, that If they ruled wilh their former roasters, they would all be thrown back into slavery ! They encouraged the colored race to set the torch to the cotton gioa, barns, stables, and houses of the white people, knowing that tbia incendinriaro would stir up the Caucasian blood to acts of retaliation, and then they could call upon the military authority of the National Government to pnt down the KuKlux! On the other band, ITorace Oreeloy and the Liberal Republicans oi tbo North, and the Democrats of the South and North, were trying to remove all sectional prejudices, and gain tho confidence of the colored people for the white race. It was well understood that tlreclcy was in favor of general umnesty, and . a restoration of the Southern people to all political and civil rights. Tbis tbe Grant party opposed, and never yielded until it was foreed from them by tbe nomination of the Cincinnati Convention. It was well known that tbe two races bad to live together in tbe Southern | States, and were, in a great measure, dependent on each other. Tho lands belonged to tbe one race, and tbe labor to tbe other. { Now, what can be meaner or more base than , for a great party in a Republican Government, | to sustain their ascendency by encouraging ( sectional hatred and strife? What can be ( more diabolical than for a party to keep themselves in power by encouraging a poor, deluded people, to burn and destroy the property f lLci eouDtrv. an*l Lrincr rfuwn nn t^omaal?a? ^ he retribution of tbe property-holders by tor- ' turo and death ? It would seem that very devHs themselves would heeitate and hare mime compunctions in adopting inch a eonrae. Hut the Radical carpet-bagger and aoalawag bare bad none, if they eould get office and plunder tbe public treaaury. Tbe colored people ought to see tbat they arc injuring tbemaelrea by suoh a course. Tbe taxes which are levied on property fall, in a great measure, on labor. Tbe laborer gets less wages, and liree harder, in consequence of these taxes! Ufa employer and patron is less kind to him, and leas disposed to relieve hiui in distress, in consequence of his elevating to office bad white men, lustead of honest, intelligent and patriotic eitisens. It is a strange delusion tbat makes one vote tor a rogtse to rale aver bins, in pveferenee to an honest mstn. Suoh a course of action the colored people hare pursued ever sinee they were set free, and knowingly puraoed It.? Why? Because theee roguee tell them tbey will be thrown back Into slavery if they vote for a respectable and decent man. Mr. Sutnner, tbe warmest and most devoted friend tbe colored people ever bad in the United StatM, wieely warns them against keeping banded together in antagonism to tbe white race, lie wishes them to think for themselves and rote independently.

From despatches, we learn that the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, at present located in this City, the removal of which has been determined on for some time past, will he carried to Louisville, Kentucky. It will' remain in Greenville until the promised funds are made seen re. Prof. Jon* A. Bsoadus, D. D , has furnished us with the following: Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ?? The Committee to locate 'he Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, at their final meeting at Louisville, August 7, 1872, passed the following resolutions: . Resolved, That alter due consideration of all the places offered for location, taking 1 into aoeount the advantages presented by each. It scams best to locale the Seminary within or near the corporate limits of Louisville, Kentucky. Resolved, That the particular site tor the buildings be Uft tor further consideration end decision. Resolved, Thai this local ion Is made upon the condition that at least three hundred thousand dollars be raised in Louisville and the Statu at large Resolved, That the Board will, as soon as J praoticahlo after the raising of this amount from Kentucky, proceed to raise the fur ther amount elsewhere of two hundred thousand dollars. Reeolved, Thst the Exect tive Committee of the Board be requested to rend the Tree surer, as agent, into Kentucky hy the first of October, i( possible, that he may canvass the State vigorously, so that the sum offered in Kentucky may be raised by the first of May, 1878. Resolved. That the Brethren Burrows, Henderson arid I'ritchard, be appointed a sub committee to prepare and present to the Board, at the auDuai meeting in Mobils in May next, a report of the circumstance* and causes which have led the Committee to the conclusions thai have been reached. A Word to Correspondents. We feel very thankful to those of oar friends who have written communications i tor the Enterprise; and we think our corps of contributors is not surpassed in number or capacity by any weekly paper in the State. A journal that hae no contributors, 1 is often very dry and prosy, ae much inters est and valuable information ia given, as ! well as topiee discussed, through the me- 1 dium of contribution*, and the experienced editor knows how to appreciate intelligent , writers. In our observation of weekly I journals issued in this and the adjoining 1 Slates, there i? no town or city of the size j of Greenville, as evidenced by the columns ; of the local prcae, that is so prolific of wri- | ters, and good writere, too, aa it ia We ' mention the matter with pride and satisfaction, because we believe it to be true. As we have said, our contributors are numerous, and we would not part from 1 them but with reluctance ; and ae to the merit of those favoring our columns, but a hasty reference to the paper for the past j several months will satisfy all that our res- < tone for appreciating them highly are foun- ( Jed on worth. r With this brief prelude, we would sey a t cord or so to all writers for this press: Oar t >eper ia a small one, and at best there la no a groat spaee to furnish matter for; thsre- g ore, wi ask all favoring na with articles, to v > pointed in ioditiog them ; make themes p jrief aa ean be done with juatice to theanb* a eet in band ; uae jour words aa the good || iltemsn does his bullet?which ie directed f o the centre of the mark?regarding any* C hing else as mere verbiage and oat of p decs in this day that is given to eondsns- j( ng. We would give these suggestions urce by stating that two of the literati of >nr city ooee remarked in our hearing that he column in a newspaper devoted to ar- ? iel*e not exceeding three or four lines in ? engtb afforded more entertainment and 0 ostrueiioo, often, than all of tho other ( lolumna put together. We think It Is the ruth.

Owing to the limited time between this and the election, and to the engrossing ftature of the duties of my office, I fear that it will be Impossible for me to visit every section of the County before that avent. I therefore take ihia opportunity of communicating with you. Aa ia known to all of yon, I waa elected to 111 the unexpired term nf m* nnJ?v rill therefore bare held the office, at the time of the next election, not quite half a term. That I am better prepared to All the office more gffioiently jow than when I wu flrat elected, la, I think, but natural. My record during the past nineteen months Is before you, and I leave yon to judge whether I bare served yon eith fidelity or not. As this seems to be neces* tarlly somewhat of a political issoe, it is proper that I define my position. In so doing, I an only say that my principles are DemoeratC; but that, while firm, I am moderate in my riews, and that I think that the ratification of he nomination of Greeley and Brown by the Baltimore Convention was wise and politic. If honored with your suffrages, I will faith* hlly endeavor te serve you with boneety and mpartiality. J. L. SOUTHERN. ? ? A Card. Mr. Editor i In yom paper of the list nltlno, I notice that my name has been anaouned as a candidate for Sheriff of this County, abject to the Nominating Convention. In been days of fraud and corruption, it is the inly of every^padidate for public office to loflne bis political principles. I have always boon, am now, and expect to ontlnue, a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, and rill not saorifloe principle for the sake of | See. I think the Convention held in Baltlsore acted wisely In endorsing the Cincinnati ilatform. Greeley is believed to be capable ad honest, and I shall asntaialo aas* -?> or him ia preference to Grout. la doing to, do not consider tbni I her# compromised : jy political principles. If aomlnntod for Sheriff Ij the Democratic 1 erty, nod elected, I will accept the office, and erre to the boot of nay ability. I W.T. 8HUMAT1. ? ?i imi ??

Earls, Esq., addroaaod tho Conroollon at lsngth In donnnolation of tho prosont corrupt 8tato Government, and demanding that tho party purge itself from tho tbievoo and aeoan* drola who now rale it, a# a duty which tbop owe to thomsolvoa and tho County. Ho then offered tho following resobatiooa, which woro mmrnmimomoff adopted amid great enthusiasm. That wo, tho Repnblioan voters of Greenville County in Convention assembled, recognising Gen. U. 6. Grant and Hoo. Henry WtU ton as true exponents of tho National Republican party, heartily approve their nomination as candidates for tho Preaidenoy and Vtea-Presidency, and do pledge ourselves to their earnest support. That we profonndly regret the discredit and shame which has been brought upon the Re publican party, uot only oi this State, bat of the United States, by the maladministration of the government of this Stats, by the misconduct of most of tho exeeutlvo officers of this State, by the notorious abuse of their official trusts, and shameless corruption of many of the executive officers, and members and officers of the General Assembly, who, in their oapaeity of public servants, have wrongfully enriched themselves at the expense of thoee from whom they derive their power. Among | ntk., ,k._.r..l .1 -! ? J I? ? vvuv. ?h?w?iui Bi/utvi |il auuuvu 07 iucbu uu1 * | Mrs, it ippMri by the sworn statement of Treasurer Parker, that the aum ef $441,866.06 baa already bees paid vat of the Treasury of the State for the oxpenaea of the laat aeaaion af the General Amenably. At leaat three fourtba of tbia amount waa wholly unneceaca- | ry, and ia believed to he illegal. In addition { to thia aum, tbere ia known to be in the hand* 1 of the varioua County Treaaurera of this State pay certificates to ati immonae amount, pur* porting to have been iaaued to mcmbera and 1 employeea of the Qeneral Aaaembly. For ( thia oriminal extravagance and patent fraud, Franklin J. Moaea, Jr., Speaker of the House ot Represent ati vea, ia largely responsible. Notwithstanding these facts are well substantiated, thia Convention learn* with pain and regrot that the said Franklin J. Moaea, Jr., has announoed himself as a candidate for Uovernor, and has received the endorsement of a few bodies ot Republicans, who have de* 1 olared that bis eouree is acceptable to them. 1 That the drawing of money from the Treasury under the pretence of tbe Armed Foroe Bill, for the purpose of defeating their imStaebment by <)overnor Scott rnd Treasurer arker is a betrayal of tbe confidence of the party, and Is conclusive of their utter nnworthinese of tbe positions which they hold. That the people feel outraged when they oontemplate the fraudulent sale of the Blue Ridge Railroad by the 8inking Fund Commission, and tbe whoieeale swindle perpetrated , upon them under the name of *' Relief," by ( scheming lobbyists and corrupt legislators who, claiming to be Republicans, have die graced the principles they pretended to ess pouse. That the so-called " Validating BillM Is equivalent to a confession of " Quilty of the over-issue of bonds " by the Financial Board. That tha fact that Democrats have received large sums from the Land Commission, the Sinking Fund Commission and other frauds, ia no palliation for the betrayal by public officers of the sacred trusts confided to them.? Therefore, be it 1. Hnolvrd, That there is demanded an entire change in tbe State offloee now filled by 1 men who have proved recreant to thair trusts, who have disgraced their party and mlagorerned tbe 8tate. 2. lUtoUnd, That tha delegates elected by this Convention he, and they are hereby, instructed in making their selection of candidatea for State officers, to vote only for man of known and triad integrity. 3. Ji.toleed, That the said delegate! be, and they are hereby, inatriated not to support for nomination to any 8tate office F. J. Mom, Jr., , nor any member of the Land Commission, the Sinking Fund Commission, or the Financial Board. A speech was made by Mr}. William Btone, who gave a calm and dispassionate account of the condition of affairs, and advised the Con? vention that the Republican party owed it to themselves to work out the reform which is so | much needed. They have it in their power to i do it, the men with which to do It, they alone can do It, and the responsibility rests with them. Several other speeehes in a like vein were ( made, which were enthusiastically rceeivedby the Convention. A resolution was unanimously adopted, declaring the preference of the Convention to ( be for the re-nomination of lion. A. S. Wal> , lace as a candidate for Congress. \ The delegates to the 8tale Convention were < instructed to cast the vote of the County for Absalom Blytbe, Esq., as candidate for Soli* oltor of the Eighth Judicial Cirouit. , The entire proceedings of the Convention ( were most harmonious, and the entire body acted with a united purpose. On motion, It was Jlesolved, That the Secretary be instructed 1 to cause the proceedings of the Convention to , be published in the OreenviUe Enterprise and Columbia Union.
