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.

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?

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. Tb

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN TUB CAREER OK
C'IIEISTOPHER GRAY.
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.

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 ::

having tried, you fall in love willi and

Cabe, Costello and Daly any day. They

"A PARTERRE FILLED WITH LOVELY

Thus has Mrs. Leckie's Millinery Es:

Do You KNOW A BETTER MAN.
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

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.

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.

In Brooklyn, " " " M M 7.7S6 60
In favor of Piedmont <fc Arlington, .... ?200 02
Erom the above fair and accurate -com wa j ison ol' rates it will be seen that
while the rates of insurance formale risff? in thc Brooklyn are a fraction
cheaper than the established rates of ol Her first class Companies, yet the
additional charge for female risks, and the avenge malo and female, makes
the rates much higher than the Piedmont & Arlington ; to say nothing of
Ihe fact that the premiums (all cash) in the Piedmont & Arlington may be
reduced by Dividends after-entran upai payment, ?nj id-t-ii t. ?he Brooklyn "at
the settlement of the third annual premium, and annually thereafter." .
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 ?

phans the sacred fund entrusted to their keeping.
The Piedmont & Arlington, with an income of about $1 500.000, is pay
ing annually over $50,000 ta the widows and fatherless of South Carolina
clone.
We will close this article with the endorsement nf one of South Carolina's
most gallant sons, whose sister was the first beneficiary of the Company in
the State : ",Nq ?ne, I trust, of the many who received the generous hosr i
vitality and untiring kindness of the people of Virginia,, in tne latestrug-. . (
