It was then moved.to call the roll on the admission of tbe Union delegation, Mr llniney stated in explanation that the coumittee had found there had been no lrrogularity in the election of the delegation, but that tho wholo trouble had grown out of the fact that there was a minority who had felt aggrieved and held another oonrontion whiob had been irregular.

Mr H J MuwtlUn a forcible speech, nominated Bon F J Moses, Jr, and W II Jooaa, Jr.' iMsadsil tbe nomination. The nomination was reoeired with prolonged applause that wis bard -to subdue. Messrs Jamison and It 11 Cain followed la remark* supporting the nomination. Mr Cain referred in his remarks to the threatened bolt, saying ho was ready to meet the issue. If it bad come to the fact that the majority of the peoplo could not bare tbair choice, then he threw down the gauntlet.- , Mr Cain's remarks were extended, reviewing thoroughly the course tf Mr Moses, and ware frequently appiaaded. Mi* J L Neagle nominated, after a short and excellent speech, lion D H Chamberlain. Mr Nengle, In his speech, referred to the warm friendship existing between himself and General Moses. He referred in SCRlb* ing urine la th# attempt m"d* to limit >hs time of thou who d?8lr?d wait0 other nominations. The nomination was received with applause but little less than that which greet ed Mr Moses' nomination. Mr Neagle then proceeded to explain the conncolion tha nominee had with the issuing of the bunds,. Mr N behaved that so far as the assertion had been made that it was a fight helweeo the bondholders of the Slate and the poor men, the bondholder* had no interest in any ?n? man mure than another, aa a candidate, II he intended to exeoute the laws. He dedred unity in the party, and a nomination made to cement it together. The speaker argued heavily against a bolt, but was convinced that there was I danger of it. Mr Elliott, who bad vapat* ed the ohair, interrupted the speaker, stating that tlie nominee could touch no ehurd in his heart, " ' * In reply to another inquiry of Mr Elli* ott, Mr Neagle said lie never would desert the regular Republican nominee of tbe convention, be h? who ho may. He believed the nomination of Geaeral Chamber laio would heal all difference*. Mr Swaila rose to make a nomination.? He thought the convention wae forgetting one thing, and that was the present condition of South Caroline, and what it mi^ht he in the future. After lengthy remarks Mr Swails Dominate! Hon lloubeu Tom* linson. Hon James L Orr seconded the nomina* tien of Mr Reuben Tomlinson ; thought it was an emioeutly proper nomination; be was ino pn>neer oJ education ; he~was n Northern man ; he understood the ejtua tion, and he believed he would be a Q?ven<>r with the capacity to relieve the Slate ot the terrible embarrassment* under which it labored. Mr Orr then referred to tho condition ol aTails, end insisted that the evils that exist ehall be eorrected within the limits of the Republican ranks. Under the ruling of I he ohair, Mr Orr declined to criticise the conduct of the other enntitdates, lie closed by hoping that such a candidate may be selected as will bring up the Republican psrty to where it probably belonged. Mr Elliott followed Mr Orr, repelling any imputations that might have been n-ade against Mr Moses, a* the nominee.? He believed eertsin utterances had been made, and certain actions had transpired that were calculated to prejudice delegates, aod which d-served the oundemnation of the convention. His remarks were prolonged to u considerable length, being in support of Mr lloses as the nominee for Go?erobr. Alter some attempts to close debate, Mr Whittemore spoke to the nomination of lion Reuben Tomlinson. He had felt humiliated at the manner in which some of the proceedings had been conducted lie referred to his course, aud was severe in hie criticism of the conduct of hie colleagues. He claimed Unit an example had been made ol him; that he had been unnecessarily held up in his only instance of short-coming, to the g ze of this mighty nation. Mr Whittemore's speech was attentively liatened to throughout. Mr T J Maokey followed, speaking in opposition to Mr Tomlmeon, giving an account of his connection with the phosphate business. Mr Mackey then referred to the Blue Ridge Scrip business. After tbors uogh review of the lives and actions of the several candidates, Mr Maekey said he supported Genera) Moeet because he believed him to.be better than either of the others. After several statements sod counter statements had been made by several dele gales, debate wss clssed. The roll was then called. A motion to adjourn was ruled out. A motion to reconsider was ruled out. The roll was proceeded with and resulted as follows : The whole number of votes csst was 118, of which 4 W Melton received 18; v u Chamberlain. 16; FJ Moi?i, Jr, 69 ; Rent on Tomlinson, 15. ' The Chair then declared Mr Mosea the regular nominee. The music then struck up a lively air, and the oonveutiou took a short respite from its work. A Committee of three was appointed to conduct Mr Mnses before tho convention. During tb*time the committee was oat, ex* Governor Orr and a number of delegates withdrew from the convention, Mr Orr stating that be could not support the nominee, and respectfully begged leave to withdraw. Mr Ifoses, who bad neen conducted to the chair, delivered a feeling address. Among the points made was one, that no matter what bad been the teellngs of ethers he hadjso unnakind feeling for soy Republican. He asked attention l? the pledgee he won hi make as the standard b-arer in the next campaign ; referred to Hon D ?1 Chamberlain in appropriate terms; lie was proud that the Republican party eould boast of sueh brilliant intellect in its ranks. He asked that all differences might eease; be buried here to-night. He edvocnted a reduction of the public debt, a reduction of taxes sod reform generally. Mr Moses was frequently vociferously applauded. It was voted thet whan the eouventiou adjourn it adjourn till 10 A M to-moriow.

The blunder orcuted a t great amount of merriment. After the same q had subsided, Mr Piucfcoey explained UUnsolf j and retired, Hon S A Swaila, in a short speech, nominal ted hfr F H Frost, of Williamsbarg. During the remarks of Mr Swails, there was so much oonfusinn that it was difficult to hoar. ' The Chair became facetious at times in res tor- r ing quiet. A member. Mr K W M Mackey, of Charleston, being engaged in loud conver* t saHon, be was requested to tone down, lie t replied that several persons were bothering t him for office.

Mr Melton would stand square by the Kcpub , lican party. Judge T J Mackey spoko forcibly in favor . of the nomination of Mr Melton. He believ- *' od that the critical period in the party " had been reached when it became necessary to 8 nominate such a man for the *?iety of the d part*. ? After dosing his remarks, tho ballot was t! proceeded with, resulting in the choice of Judge c Melton by a vote of 100 to 0. Tbe nomina- d tion was made unanimous. a Mr J L Neagle stated that it was perfectly |, understood that Mr Chamberlain would not be a candidate under any circumstances if Mr r Melton was.

He thought , tbe time had oome when the majority of tbe ^ people of South Carolina sbonld put men in of. fice that could be approached In their business ; 0 be would make no appeal on account ot color, ^ but believed tbe colored people should make their voice heard in tbe mutter. (' Messrs Maxwell, Moses, Elliott and T J t Mackey immediately followed in support of V Mr Cardoso's nomination. h Coi 11 G Yocom nominated II Noah, Esq. ti Hon F H Frost, ot Williamsbuir. made an able speech in opposing the nomination ol Mr Cardoso. During Mr Frost's remarks be was frequently interrupted, and it soon becamo ap- p parent that a strong fight would be made en . the nomination of the several candidates. A debate upon parliamentary rules occurred be- v tween tbo Chair and Mr Frost, which, after numerous points and motions, resulted in Mr " Frost being allowed unlimited range within u which to speak by a vote of the convention, v Mr Frost then proceeded with his remarks, d and both friends and enemies expressed the h! opinion that Mr Frost had mado a splendid d effort. it lion 8 A Swails, of Williamsbug, followed, His remarks were extended. He referred to t| the attempted capital to be made in the argu- , | ment against the Northern element. The ar- (j guinent waxed very warm, and the crowd in the ball oocupted every nook and Qorner, lis- V tening with intense interest. Mr Cardoso replied at length, attempting to '* refute the ebarges brought against him by the 0 preceding speakers. During Mr Cardoso's re- 'j marks similar points were raised as in the- e< preceding arguments. ct A debate occurred between Mr Mobley, of tl Union, and the Chair, (Mr 8 J Lee being in d the ohair,) regarding a privileged question. j, Mr C, in his argument, charged, among oth- t| er things, thai 0 P Leslie was a thief, and v properly belonged In the penitentiary.

Rats and Matches.?Rats here an untocountable fondness for the taste of phosphorus, and to this fact may bo attributed the origin of many mysterious fires. These rodents build tbeir nests of inflammable materials and take to them any stray matches that .they fiod lying around loose. This accomplished, they undertake to gratify their appetites by nibbling the coated ends of tho matches, whioh arc at onee ignited, whoa the nest Is set in a blase, and the destruction of tho house. or perhaps the ship whloh contains it, follows. Great ears should always he taken with match, es. The phosphorus whioh is used on them is nasty and poisonous. Workmen engaged in their manufacture often die a fearful death from exfoliation of the lower jaw, and ohi!? dren who hare sucked a mateh, if thoy do not die, usually suffer terrible agonies.
