fto Democratic Convention and the
Presidency,
Tho Washington patriot assigns
various substantial reasons, why the
jneeting of the National Pemocratic
'Convention should be at least post
pomed until after the meeting of the
Cincinnati Convention, which is to
be held during the first week of May.
Prominent among these is the fact
that the Bepublican party shows
figns of disintegration, whilst its
leading statesmen, and prominent
journals have robbed at the tyranny
ua cr;rqp\\gu
years have beep committed in the
pame of flepablicanisjn; po4 also
that the Labor Beformer* have pot

jn?eting ft cordial response from all
parts of the country.
Here are two facta which cannot
H ignored anfl which are destined to
exert? controlling influence on the
coming election; and whilst the work
of disintegration and assimilation it*
going on, it is the true policy of the
Democracy ta await the coarse of
events, before determining its posi
tion. There seem* to be evejy rea
son to believe that the Cincinnati
Convention will endorse the nomina
tion of Davis and Parker, as they are
known to be in symphathy with all

The Legislature.
This body has at last adjourned,
Ulter a Session of nearly four months,
?being one-third of the year?in
volving an expenditure as largo as
what was necessary to defray all the
expenses Legislative, Executive and
Judicial, for running the State Gov
ernment before the war. The Session
hai been fittered away in useless de
bates?in the passage of unimportant
bills. Three-fourths of the legisla
tion has been of a pnvato nature, and
the remainder has only increased
ten-fold the burdens of an already
i
HopuToruuvu pwpie. J. no x>iue
Ridge bill adds $1,800,000ta the pub,
lio debt, and the Validating bill cod
flms 16,000,000 of fraadaleat debt.
Oar people may make up their minds
to pay for this year double the tax of
the past year. So great is the pro.
Tailing extravaganoe and oorrnption
that the Colombia Union calls loudly
for reform. It says;
"The Republican party, if it ex

fact, and that is, that tbo people who
pay taxes, both white and colored,
will not long consent to see their
inonoy squandered by the Legislature
io Fdeliberating over measures of no
earthly importance to any e*ve those
who introduce them,
"If we expect to exist as a party,
we must introduce these measures of
reform, and not have them forced
tipon us by the opposite party. There
U no disguising toe faat that oar leg.
jftlatiYe expenses are nearly, double
what they shonld be, and this is caus
ed solely by the extraordinary length
of the session.
And again;
"There are scores of useless offices
in the State whieh should have beon
abolished} or consolidated, but when
ever this subject was broached, all
y sorts of fair nmmiiM vam mo/la knt
no deficit* action could be secured
looking to * owtailment of useless
expenditures. Members were afraid
if thejr voted for such measnres, that
some displaced official in their res
pective counties would exert his in
fluence against them when they again
come before the people for re-election.
AH action seemed to be purely for
self, without tha slightest regard for
tho public at huge.

Raid upon eur Merchants?Sequel tp ti
Tobacco, Seizures,
Onr readers will rop.nllant that snm
months since various lots of mam
factured tobacco, in the possession c
nearly all of our prominent merchant
were seized by B. M. Wallace, T. 5
Revenue Collector, and confiscated.
This, in itself, wo thought was a hare
ship, as they were entirely ir.nocec
in the matter, and there was nothin
in the cireustances of the case to wai
rant any presumption of imprope
conduct on thoir part. But it seem
that the matter has not been allowe
to rest hero. On last Friday officc
Coates served a warrant upon th
parlies concerned, requiring them t
appear to-day, before U. S. Com mil
sioner Boozer, In Columbia, to ar
swer charges growing out of the a
fair. They left on yesterday, wit
iheir counsel, Mr. Cothran, to appca
before the Commissioners, and wo ca
not but believe that a plain statemer
of the facts of tho caso will be sufl
cient to mako apparent tbcir inn<
eenca in the matter, and to bring to
speedy close a most vexatious proseci
tion, The examining Magistrate, w
suppose, has full authority to dete

no doubt, will exercipe a wise niscn

While attempting to explain th

of Munster, he found him dispose)
to receive them, but unable to un
derstand the doctrine of the Hoi;
Trinity. How, asked the rud
chieftain, can there be three persou
in one ? Puzzled at what reply t
make, the Saint, casting his eye
upon the ground, beheld a share
rock. Taking it up he showed t
the barbarian monarch the thre
little blades, each separate and die
tinct, yet the three forming but on
stem, and the King was at one
couvinced by this simple but forcibl
demonstration. Saiut Patrick cor
verted not only this Prince, bu
also the Kings of Dublin and Cot

Death of Dr. Isaac Branch.
The numerous friends of Dr. Isaac
Branch will be pained to learn of his
unexpectecj death after assert illness
at his residapce.in this Tillage, at 2
o'clock A. M, on yesterday, fle was
attacked on Friday last, and speedily
sank under what seemed to be a pros
tration of all tfoe vital po wars. Noth*
ing was wanting, which medical skill
or affection's last offices could render,
but without avail. The active brain
sought repose, and after "life's fitful
fever" the restless pulse i} still.
In on a short year, thrice hava the
snafts of the insatiate archer peath,
been hqrled upon the afljicted family,
and successively have t^e daughter
the wife, and tlje father, fallen vie-,
tims to ^is all-conquering power,
Truly pur sympathies are witfc the
bereaved, who have now been de-:
prived of the provident cjvre, and
earnest affection, of the best of earth
ly guardians gnd friends. Truly we
can bost pammend them tq the care
of Him who has promised to be the
friend of the fatherless.
Doctor Branch was a native of
Vermont but for more than fifly
years, he bad lived amongst us, ar\d
wft$ identified with our people, jeal
ous in eyery good word and work, he
wfta long a prominent member of the
Presbyterian Churchy-long Treasurer
of the Abbeville Bible Society?&nd
active in all religious meetings. A
restless activity of body and mind
was his most distinguishing charac
teristic, and whatever he undertook
hn nerfnrmfid with unnririr nf
his nature. For many years, the
agent here of prop?iuent Insurance
companies, and especially tl\e super
intendent of agencies in the State for
tho Piedmont & Arlington Ljfe Jneu
ranco Company, his business capacity
and energy were daily called into
exercise. A, ipore active or success
ful agcnt; VyQ supposo could not be
found,
And now after 9 busy, and well
spent life he has been called to his
reward, cheered by those consola
tions, and sustained by that trust,
which are to the Christian, as an an
chor ''both sure and steadfast."

their places were filled amidst con- f
siderable excitement and confusion.
Jay * Gould was removed from the *

meeting General Dix notified Jay |
Gould of the action, and, as president
of tho road, mado a formal domaud
for the surrender of documents and

1- Tho resignation of Jay Gould as I

The Good Templars.
Editor Preu ai\d Banner :
In La\?qpn's Hall, Tuesday eyffling,
12th iqat, $ev. H. M. Igood qrgianixed a
Lodge, No. JO, of the Independent Order
9$ Good Tempters, and initiated the
following officers, viz:
>Y-1. W^jkbyw. W# C, T*
J. Wash. Boyd, W. 8.
C. V. Hammond, V(. F, 3,
1 M. P. DeBbuhl, W. TREAS.
Robert Cannon, W. M.
R. Id- HADpo/f, W' A-8'
J. A. WjE9, W. D. Af,
EDW. ^ESTFIELD, yy. Bsn.
We are gl{^ to b,e able to say that tfye
number already initiated, and tl^ num
ber of applications for memberships
received, indicate ^ prosperous course
for this Lodge, and lefld us to indulge
the fond hope, that soon its benign and
ameliorating influence will be widely
felt.
The of Temperance is truly a
noble one. It combines elements or
principles which are, in the least, antag
onistic to the highest Interests of any
class. For its advancement It appeals tq
piaukind in every conceivable relation;
to the Monarch upon his throne and to
the peasant at his foot-stool, to the
President in his Chair and to the meanest
subject in his dominipn, to herpes,
statesmen, lawyers, doctors, merchants,
formers, mechanics, to fathers and to
mothers, to brothers and to sisters, to"
the young, who jubilantly bound along
life's pathway, and to the aged, who
walk tremblingly upon the verge of
time, to one, to all.
And when we oonsider the manifold
miseries, and untold wretchedness en
tailed by Intemperance; that it alienates
more property and destroys more lives
than all the other vices combined; that
it sends barbed, piercing arrows through
the kind and affectionate hearts of thous
ands of mothers, wives and sisters; and
that through its shameful influence tens
nf JhnnuinHo of niir muntrvmRTl. whose
youthful prospects were bright and in
viting, are now dragging themselves
along through life with halting steps, to
meet early, gloomy, hopeless graves;
then surely will we find cause to throw
our influence into whatever organization
is best calculated to contend against its
destructive progress. This do, and
"quit you like men."
By request of Lodge,
