THE ADVERTISER. EdgefieM, S. C., Apriri8. 1872. Carl Schurz and Senator Trumbull in NeAV York. The Senators from Missouri and Illi nois, tl.Q distinguished leaders of the anti-Grant movement." are in Nen- York city for tho purpose of orpraniziner thc masses, especially the Germans, in favor of the Cincinnati Convention and its ob jects. They held a meeting in Cooper - Institute on Friday night last. at. which was'fired (lie first great gun of thc com ing Presidential campaign. This meet ing wa? held under very imposing cir cumstances, and never since Cooper In stitute was built, has such a tremendous audience filled the large hall of that building; It was an audience compri sing tho wealth, respectability and intel ligence of tho city ol* New York, and is said to have been truly representative in character. Xever was there so large o< so enthusiastic a political gathering in New York before as this .of the Liberal republicans, conducted by Schurz, Trum bull and Grecly. The two speakers o< the occasion Were Trumbull-and Schurz. The telegrams speak thus of their recep tion ai J great eflbrts : ' . Trumbull spoke with great energy and fire, and not only electrified, but also in tcrest?d his audience by his eloquence. K's assaults on the centralizing tenden deso? thc present Administration were hailed with indignant cheers, and he as tonish; d his hearers by showing them the despotism which threatened the safe ty of thc Republic, l?o uphold, in un . qualified language; the true. Democratic doctrine of -tate Rights, and while de nounce-ig rebels as traitors, ho yet said they ?. .ere never thieves, lie wained his au lenee against t ie dangers of o centralized authority, which has already established, in different States of the Union, tribunals for the adjudication o! . the property and lives of the people, sub ject to its own.control, and said this power was in 'rreat danger of abase.' . "Senator Schurz next took the stand, and was received with similar over whelnjmg ovation to that of Trumbull... as the lion of tho occasion and tho lead lng liirht of the Reform movement, lli speech was eagerly anticipated and at tracted main' persons, expressly to-hear . it. "He spoke calmly and yet earnestly, using very full notes. His manner was not4ullof lire and fury-signifying noth ing-but clear, logical and convincing, llb; dispassionate arguments did not car ry away the refilings of his audience, but they appealed to their reasoc and bel?! their attention closely. His voice ranir loud and clear through the vaulted hall and throughout the packed, yet s|leni throng", like the notes of a clarion. Th< 'audience seemed spellbound, and ohI\ at intervals recovered themselves suffi ciently to applaud This, however,.they did repeatedly and with vigor, showing the eloquence of the orator was fully ap preciated. Each word was received with attention, and every strong point mad? against: the Administration was fully ap preciated. As to tho speech itself we can only refer to the full report annexed, which alone can do justice to its-acumen, profundity, close reasoning, wit and other admirable qualities " The New Orleans National Negro Convention. On the ?Oth inst.: a National Conven tion of negroes assembled in New Or leans. The general attention was slim, but'the de'egation from South Caroljnu was large-consisting of Elliott, Cardoso, Nash, Ransier, and three or four others of less fame. The managers of the Re publican party at the North have been looking to this Convention with some dread, as it was believed that the object of the Convention was the dictation ol j certain terms on which alone Grant should have the colored vote. The most important aud most alarming of these terms was to bc that the nomination foi the Vice-Presidency should be given to a negro. Fred Douglass, Pinchback (a yellow rascal who .is now Lieut. Gov. o; Louisiana) Ransier, Cardozo, and many others, are said to be lifting their eyes to this high plac?. But the Convention has not turned out very large, very respectable, or very influential. Strange it is how prone thc nesroes :-.re, as a mass, to be led and in fluencot! .uly by u/n'rV-thieves and ad ventur-. rs. Negro leaders, it would seem, cannot sway them. We now subjoin thc platform of tho Convention, as adopted on the 15th. Fred Douglass has been the great Light of the occasion. No demand U made for thc Vice-Presidency : The preamble regrets the necessity which calls into existence a colored cot? vention, and grateful for past triumph in behalf of equal rights, submits thc resolutions to the American people. Thc' first gives thanks for emancipation and citizenship. Thesecond pledges unswerv ing devotion and support to the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention. Thc third endorses President Grant, ami thanks him for recognizing men without regard to race and colaran making ap pointmohts. The fourth prays that col ored Republicans of States where thor? are no Federal positions given its color ed men may no longer be ignored*. The fifth acknowledges overwhelming in debtedness to the services of Charles Sumner. The sixth praises-th* action ot Vice President Colfax in delivering the casting vote in favor of thc supplemen tary cavil rights bill. The seventh ap peals for protection in civil right.-', in public places, and upon public convey- . anees. Thc eighth condemns Repub licans who voted against thc civil rights bill, and pledges ti?at they will voto suc cessors to them whenever they have thi power. An Interesting Pamphlet. Wc have received-from the President wo opine-a-batch of the .' Proceedings Of thc Annuel Convention of the South Carolina Agricultural, and Mechanical Soci3ty," held in Columbia, November 8th and Sith. 1871. These Proceeding? should bc matter of deep and.general in terest to the people of South Carolina. We hold these pamphlets fofdistribution. Let those apply who may wish a copy. Georgia and South Carolina bippe< On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday ami. Saturday, ol last week, (says the Chroni cle <fe Sentinel of the lGth,) a great chick en dispute came oli' in the city of New Orleans. Thc fight was "Georgia ami Sonth Carolina against the United States." Mr. John A. Bohlerr ol' this city, repre sentiug Georgia, and" Col. Thomas G. Bacon, of Edgefield, South Carolina. Tilt bets were two hundred dollars on each fight anti twenty-live hundred dollars on the main. Thirty-one cocks were shown ou each sine, and twenty-ii vc birds match ed. The South Curoiimans*>iid Georgi aus wer ? defCitod by throe lights. ? very large amount of money cnaugeu hands on die result. A telegram from London, on Montar, last, Stau s that it is reported in weiLiu formea ollicial circles tbere mat "at tuc interview at Baden Baden, last week, between Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the Prince imperial of Prussia, tue question of thp expediency ol lier Ma jesty abdicatiug in .lavor ol the Prince ol Wales was discussed,. The ultimate re sult of the interview cannot bc learneu, but it is believed that Her Majesty- who, it is affirmed, has for several years past seriously considered the question of al-, dicatiou-had decided to take counsel and advice of her royal relatives of Prus sia before takiug any decisive action in a matter of such grave importance.'' A. M. Musser, the Mormon tele graph superintendent, at Salt Lake, on the L2tb, said that rattier than surrender one single principle of their religion the Mormons would make "a MOSCOW of Salt Lake City, tear up railroads, break down telegraph lines and destroy millions of other property. He spoke of Judge Mc Kean as a dried up, corrupt old dog, and ia President as a useless Grant, and unitized him and others as a corrupt btu HC-also included the President's -.ile in his attack. Progress o? the Kn Klux Tr?ala ia Charleston. Judge Bond arrived in Charleston on the 10th inst., and immediately took his seat upon the bench of tho United States Circuit Court -with Judge Bryan-both nresiding in the trial of certain citizens of Union,.York, etc., arrested under tin Kn Klux Act. As a beginning, the grand ury returned true bills for conspiracy and murder against nine citizens o' Union. But on. motion of the District Attorney tue charge of murder in rive ol thes e cases cases was discontinued. These nine citizens are charged with the hiing ing of thc negro prisoners in Union. These were the proceedings of Thursday last. On Friday further true bills were ren dered and more 'prisoners arraigned. Two pleaded guilty of conspiracy, and were sentenced accordingly. The U. S Marshal was ordered to forthwith brinp eighteen prisoners confined in thc York ville jail to Charleston. Tho Marsha! was also instructed to purchase twenty live blankets for thc prisoners.

When we last wrote of Christopher Gray A Co. wo said that the worthy hoad of thc house was coeval with Christopher Columbus, and had been, ever since th" discovery of America, famous in thc Dry Hoods Business. And there he is still surviving all tho mutations and vicissi tudes of time-with a rov-al stock of Spring and Summer Goods fresh from London, Paris and New York. Tim week he issues what he calls his " Second Proclamation to thePeopleof Edgeiield." Let all read it. It is a proclamation ol' invitation, Welcome and Good-Will. THE SCTTARLENESS OF RAIMENT AND THE BECOMINGS ESS OF MANNERS. These are all-important links in the chain of social life-links which harmo nize with and beautify the whole. And is to the suitableness of raiment, gentle men carnot find anywhere a more ac .omplishcd purveyor in this respect Hftm August Dorr, the famous Merchant Tailor of Augusta. Whatever Dorr exhibits to you, and whatever Dorr makes for 3*011, luis an air of Parisian elegance about it. md Dorr's style and taste are notorious ill over Georgia and Western Carolina. We hope his new card this week will at ract much attention. M WHEN ADAM DELVED AND EVESPAN," From the very earliest days, ''When Adam delved and Eve span," arose the grave question of " Who was then the gentleman ?" And now those old priests and philosophers who tormented the world with their abuse of fashioil ar lead and forgotten, while the names ol brummel and D'Orsay, the best dress? ?nen in England, ase household word And this goes to strengthen the old ada, hat the tailor makes thc num.'- An if there are tailors in the world who mould be proud of their success, it i Whitman & Benson of Augusta. Both is regards their art aud their goods Whitman <fe Benson are absolutely inimi table. And ar; courteous and obligin; gentlemen, Whitman tt Benson have nt superiors in the wide world. We hope he gentlemen of Edgefield-^especiallv the gay ai d jaunty young fellows-will realize that they must patronize Whit .nan ct Benson largely, or else becom rusty and behind the times. Sec th. tew card from Whitman and Bcnsoi vhieh we publish to day. * THE FACTS OUTSTRIPPING ALE FIGVT.ES OF SPEECH. We are about to speak of the favorite Augusta Dry Goods Establishment McCabe, Costello & Daly. And what too:: earth snail we say? For really :: ruly .he facts of thc ease quite outstrip .ii w ?rdsand figures ol' speech. Splendid, a id magnificent, and " perfect taste' md "obliging courtesy," und all that -'..rn . old 2nd unmeaning when applied to McCabe, Costello ?S Daly.

At all events ire are ready to tight for* Mc Cabe, Costello and Daly any day. They favor jus with a new spring advertise ment this week. Reatfit, and honor it, nul follow it. "A PARTERRE FILLED WITH LOVELY LIVING FLOWERS " Thus has Mrs. Leckie's Millinery Es: tablishmcnt in Augusta been, described to us lately. The lovely living Howers". | mean, of course, the hundreds of beau tiful women who are now crowding in daily to gaze at the .treasures and gems Mrs. Leckie has lately brought, back from New York.

There are few gentlemen or merchants better known to the people of Edgeiield than Mr. W. A. Ramsey, tho old and rc liable Clothing Merchant of Augusta. And certainly they know no better man or more efficient merchant. Mr. Ramsey sends us a new advertisement this week, and we herewith beg foi it particular consideration. Perhaps the largest, hand somest, best-selected and cheapest stock of Ready-Made Clothing in the South is now to be found at Ramsey's in Augusta. Mr. Ramsey's tailoring department is also on a very complete scale. Mr. John Lyon, a popular citizen and famous mer chant tailor of Edgeiield in forme'* days, is to be found at Ramseys, where 1 J will always make Edgeiield people feel par ticularly at home. ??f Arthur O'Corn?r, tried in London on the 11th, for committing an assault on her Majesty Queen Victoria, some weeks ago; was found guilty by the .jury, and sentenced to one years imprisonment at hard labor, and to receive, twenty lashes. The residence ol* Col.-Wm. Doyle, situa ted at the twelve mile post on -tho Geor gia Railroad wast totally destroyed by fire last Thursday night.. The-furniture was -consumed with the "building, the family having time only to escape with what wearing apparel ' they had upon their persons. The fire' was caused by the carelessness of a servant, in leaving a woodbox near the fire-place. Thc lK>ie? it appears, caught fire from a spark aird eotnmunicnted it to "the building. Tlie 1,ss is. estimated at $20,000. There was no insurance upon either the building or .the fur.ni turo. So says tho Augusta Contfi'i tiovnlfsf. -1-j?CSir-.-. For Ilia Advertiser.

BURNETT, ) JAMES E COOK, fWmttiee T. FALKNER, ! u,im*mieo JOHN A. PLATT, J ?BIT??RYT" DIED, of Meuingetis,.in this Town, on thc 2Sth March, little SALLIE LOU, daughter of Mr. LEWIS H. and Mrs. SALLIE MeCCLLorou, aged !> years and 4 months. In the sudden and early demise of the bright and beautiful little-SALLIE, a shad ow has fallen across the pathway of many of us who loved her winsome, cheerful ways, and toole delight in her gay and in nocent chit-chat and joyous songs and laughter. And missing-this little sun beam, and lier accustomed kindly greet ?UL', we feel, in thc language of another, that "Earth has angels all too few- . And heaven is overflowing." And yet we should murmur not, for won drous are the ways of God-and "Ile doeth all things well." But in thc late home-circle of this pre cious little, darling the shadow fs dark ened, and deep grief and heart-troubled sorrow re i gue th there-for devoted pa rents and a loving sister and brother are left to lament the loss of their idolized SALLIE-the pride and pet of the house hold. But goad friends, in thc seal that inexorable death hath apparently, so un timely, set upon your fondly loved one, we should read tho love of the Father of All, who has given us the blessed assu rance that "of-such is thc kingdom of heaven." So Wearily, afflicted friends, let us take up thc burden of life again, and live on with a hope of a joyful re-union, when tlie summons conies tor us. with our loved ones gone before, in thal eternal home whose foundation is jasper and whose light and love is God himself.

Augusta, Ga., April 17 Sm 17' . PIEDMONT ? ARLINGTON LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. - Some months ago one of the General Agents of the " Universal" institu ted a comparative cost of -Insurance between his Company and the Piedmont & Arlington, using the Stock tables of his Company and the Jfuiwa?*tables of the Piedmont &;Arl[n^oh..* The'error was* prdm^tly: corrected by fur nishing a comparison of the Slock tables of each, clearly proving the Pied mont & Arlington to be the cheaper of the two. Our attention has recently been called to an advertisement of the " Brook lyn," claiming to be the ''cheapest'; Company, and publishing on the plan of the "Universal," a comparison between Xhe cost of insurance of that Company and the Piedmont & Arlington, among many other Companies. Now we heartily approve of comparisons, but we must here call the? at tention cf our friends representing that very substantial Company, to the fact that, notwithstanding the comparison of.cost, taking male risks alone into consideration, is correct, yet when it is known that in the " Brooklyn" " Women are always charged one-half of one per centum on the amount in sured, vs an extra premium, in addition to the regular rates," it will be readi ly conceded, as the comparison below^will prove, that the Piedmont & Ar lington^ infinitely cheaper for insuring females, and decidedly cheaper, taking the average cost of both sexes, as the Piedmont & Arlington makes no difference as to sex. It is true that the Brooklyn takes no female risks on the ordinary life at any pince, but- the same comparison will hold goodin the " 10 payment Life and Endowment plans." The tables below is used for convenience in coobiftuatiopyof .comparisons previously in?ti*ttted. _:_I_iii_\??_.-_i._ii_?_r? ..- ._ In tho Piedmont ?feArlington, " " Brooklyn of New York, In favor of Piedmont & Arlington |At the ago of ?0 At thc agc of 30!At thc age of 40 ?150 will iusure.'?200 wiU msurci?250 will insure I a female for | a female for | a female for ~ $8,810 *7 $7jflOT~22 7,513 111 7,183 93 ?S,45.) 46 6,849 31 $1,60G?15 $1,297J0| , ?S3Q3 29 In Piedmont ?S: Art?ngton, $150 at age of 20, male and female, will insuro ?8,455 46 In Brooklyn, M " " " " " 7,862 52 In favor of Piedmont <fc Arlington, ?592,94* In Piedmont & Arlington, 8200 at agp of 30, malo and female, will insure ?S,S10 57 In Brooklyn, " " M " " " . 8,381 90 In favor of Piedmont <fc Arlington, S lil IO ?

The intention of this article is to remove from the minds of some of the patrons of our-Company, the impression that'we are ":arging them more for Insurance than they wi.uld have to pay in other'good Companies-and not to detract in any way from the reputation of the Brooklyn. It would not have been published if a-^CQiapafisoo, .in, . our. opinion incomplete, had not been institircd hy the Brooklyn. .Wc endeavor to obtain our share, of public,patronage by the activity of our Agents in presenting tne'advant?g'e'sof cur Company ta the people, with instructions never* to seek .te obtain Business by disparaging other Institu tions-never to assail other Companies, but always to stand on the defensive if assailed. It is well to note that there^is';qnly ohe.Agjsnt riejp^esepjting our Company in the States of South Carolina and Georgia who is working on a guarantied salary, and the President "reports- Hi:*- -ne n^ttiiUihg* tis: guarantee. The commissions allowed our Agents on all plans average less than are paid by other competing f'ompanies-but, as the President stated in a letter of re cent date, arc aa large as Jie is justified in safely gjyingj acting on the ad vice of .Eliznr Wright and other experienced actuaries. Now, inviting the closest scrutiny of our comparison with the Brooklyn, wo proceed to present in general terms, the peculiar advantages of the Piedmont ? Arlington. . It ix the only Southern Company that has passed the rigid inspection of the-Insurance Departments oHNewrFork, Ohirl,-*Misfe6urt, California, and others, and is working successfully with Northern agents, at no extra ex I'pense of salaries on Northern territory. It has also gone into England with no expciiPe-bjdHhje^regula^op?trat? commiss\ona paid Agen& hjera,y ??$e brief, we offer you a well-established Southern Company, which' will insure your i i fe and-pay a fair intei-est on your money freon the day you invest, and the principal punctually when due, not requiring you to let your capital lay idle for several years as is thc custom of many Companies, without tne usual .forfeitures of .policies from death in violai ion of the law of the State in which you reside, or the United States, or from non-payment of premiums when prevented by war, as was lately the. case at the South. Your investment is' safer' in the Piedmont & Arlington, 'because'it must be based on real .estate of twice the value, without restriction os toterritory, and cannot be destroyed in one fire, as was the case at Chicago, and as may be ut any lime in any Company .(fire or life,)* organised in #ie State of New York, for the State'laws restrict "their investments to New York city, and fifty miles around, under penalty of forfeiture of Charter for violation of law. Thus is to be apprehended not only the danger of destruction of Capital and Assets by lire, as was the case with abont60 fire Companies at Chicago, but also the lower rate of interest on first class investments from restriction of territory by State laws. That the New Yprk Compani s feel this restric tion, is proven by tlje^ersistient^fforts of .their diiijji^ntf IusijivnGe Conven tions to haye it; removed!," ? '-as tb allow tfie5r) JinTl f.ijtidly accruing capital to haVe tlie advantage of the larger rates of utterest,, and greater choice of investments; but the contracted policy of their State legislators, who can see only the local interest of the City ancl vicinity, has so far defeated .all efforts of their financiers, and every dollar pind thora must be taken from our own impoverished "country to be invested, less safely, and al less advantage for tho benefit of that section which is oppressing and harrassing you with unjust taxation, and whose hordes of armed mercenaries are now imprisoning and hunting down your best citizens, insulting and robbing the innocent females, and creating "a reign of terror" unknown in thc modern history of enlightened nations, and unsurpassed by the Neroes and most cruel barbarians of the dark ages. We do not mean to attribute to the Northern Insurance Companies this state of affairs, or to impute ouc-'sufferin/js tp their ag?ney, but they belong to ' a'section always ini?nical to us.,-and our institutions,-our conquerors, tyrants and ojiprcssors,-and we can see no good reason why our people should be expected to piss by and ignore a noble Southern enterprise, reared amid tho smoking ruins of -oar fallen country,.established bjy the hard-earned savings ? of. otfrVdm??^l?e, rfb?Tflififjr dis^ensing^tci the? ddstkure wiMite&Af'ei*-' ' I phans the sacred fund entrusted to their keeping.
