A Bid for the Nomination. At a meeting held in Washington, on the night of tho 9th, Fred. Duglass pre siding, the following letter from Yico Fresident Colfax was read : WASHINGTON, May 7, 1872. Dear Sir-Having voted recently in tho Senate on the question ol' civil rights, to which you refer, I need not make an extorided statement as to my views upon it, for actions always speak more loudly than mere words, but if that vote need ed justification, as it does not, tho trav elling, experience or your delegates to the National Colored Convention, at New Orleans, as detailed by Frederick Doug lass, Sr., in the National Era, would bo its fullest vindication. If orderly, spbor citizens of the United States, re elected by its constitution to equality uud?rthe law, cann et obtain food and lodgings at public hotels like the rest of mankind, or even accommodations on railroad trains after paying first-class lares, we should either acknowledge that the con stitution is a nullity, or should insist on that obedience to it by all,' and protec tion under it to all, which are alike the right and the duty of the humblest as. well as the most influential throughout the land. Respectfully yours, . SCHUYLER COLFAX. To Messrs. T. S. Atkinson, G. T. Down ing, F. Douglass, Jr., J. W. LeBarnes and F. S. Bar Dadoes, committee. 1 M?. Jehu Morrissey Oilers lo Bet on Greeley's Election. To the Editor of the Nexo York Herald: As the Hon. Horace Greeley has been nominated by the Cincinnati Convention for President of the United States, I wish to make three propositions: First, I will bet ?5,000 he will carry the State of New j York ; second, I will bet $5,000 he will carry the State of Pennsylvania ; third, I will bet $5,000 he ls elected President of the United States, providing that the Democratic party make no nomination ; one-half the amount ($7,500) to be put up when the bet is taken, the balance ($7,500) to bo put up thirty days before the elec tion.* Above propositions open for ten days. JOHN MORRISSEY. A Tax on Preaching. For the first time in the history of the | world, (says the Dne West A. S. Presby terian) every minister in South Carolina | is required, it is said, to pay ten dollars, License, to preach the Gospel, beside paying a tax on his salary! Language fails to reach the case. Oar pen is inade quate. Words are meaningless in any attempt to reach the depths to which such an act points. Cupidity can no? further go. The bottom has been reached. I The end of the long lane that we hare j been traveling has at last been found. Wo put a period here. This is the place j to take breath. Better times are at hand. Get yonr license, pay the tax, and turn over. Trouble Brewing with Spain. A tote telegram from Washington in forms us that relations with Spain are of | such a character as to suggest- prepara tions not looking to war, : but to the pro tection of the rights of citizens of the United States. It is known that our min ister to Madrid will soon be withdrawn, and no successor appointed until, as was recently said by a high executive officer, Spain shall be more disposed than she is now to act with justice and according to treaty obligations. Although war is not ( regarded as even probable., there is an increasing^ desiro that our navy shall bo placed in an efficient condition, and, therefore, the authorities at Washington may before long issue orders to several navy yards to place all our available vessels in seagoing condition. Thc united Spanish claims comin?sson, although organized more than six months ago, have as yet decided no cases, there being delays in consequence of difficulty in procuring proofs. The United States proposed that mode of settling the claims of citizens of the United States growing out of the rebellion in Cuba. There can be no ~THS3gr??ment "orr "tnwpoin vf t there are other questions, including that pertaining to Dr. Howard, which may cause further irritation and give occasion for a more determined policy towards Spain. ^_ _ . ? ? <^>.-> A Mongrel Pew-Wow in New York. A4 New York, on the evening of the 10th, the Radical reformers adopted u wonderful constitution. Mrs. Woodhull spoke, prophesying thatfrom this conven tion there would issue a power that would shape the world. Mrs. Woodhull and Fred Douglass were then nominated for President and Yice-Prcsidcnt. [Great copfusion.] AdelegatenominatedSpotted Tail, saying: " Indians before niggers. Another suggested, if Douglass declined, a heathen Chinee bo nominated instead. The convention broke up in uproar. The Philadelphia Press declares that the Southern people prefer Radical ism to Liberalism. Thc Press is mista ken. Name anything you please in the heavens above, on the earth below, or h\ the waters of the sea, and that is the thing the Southern people preter to Radi calism. A colored woman, probably the lurgest and heaviest person ot' her sex in thc world, died in St. Louis a few days ago at the age of fifty-one years. She weigh ed between nine hundred and a thousand pounds. Her dimensions were five feet ten inches in height, twenty-eight inches across the shoulders, and thirty-seven inches across the hips. Her arms were thirty inches in circumference. When she had been arrayed in burial vestments, it was found impossible for seven m DU to lift ber. Finally the box was tilted on one-side and she was rolled in while the priest chanted the service of the dead. She was then placed in a large wagoib which proceeded slowly to the cemetery. The wagon was backed up to the grave, and eight men and six rollers combined their exertions to lower her into her nar row bed. Mr. E. V. Smalley, the. able and well known correspondent of- the New York Tribune, who has for a series of years occupied the position as clerk to the House Committee on Military Affairs, was notified a day pr two since, that he must resign, or be resigned to dismissal, because it was not deemed proper that " an employee of thc enemy (the Tribune) should hold any position under or receive any emolument from tho Administra . ?on." Mr. S. consequently yesterday -wrote a valedictory <o the Committee, and gracefully - retired to his seat in the reporters gallery.-Washington Patriot. CONTEMPT OF COURT.-A few evenings ago, while Judgo Graham was holding the Circuit Court at Oraugeburg, Solid tor E. B. Seabrook liccame so offensive in his language that Judge Graham felt compelled to commit him to jail for con tempt of court. He remained in durance for twenty-four hours, we learn, and at the expiration of that time, upon" his re fusal to purge himself of the contempt, Judge Graham suspended him from thc list, of attorneys. The appointment yester day of Gen. Whipper by Judge Lee as -solicitor of the Inferior Court, is under stood to be a result of Mr. Seabrook's suspension.-Charleston News. ? --. JW The trade troubles in Chicago still continue. There have been repeated, strikes for increase of wages and a fur ther advance of from 50 cents to $150 a day is now demanded, raising the pay of laborers to $2 50 a day, of carpenters to 84 50 a day, of bricklayers to $5 50 a j day, and of stonemasons to $6 a day. The plasterers, who struck very recent ly, have obtained an advance of wages to $5 a day. It is further reported that on May 15th ft grand co-operative strike i *?ftR the trades will take? place to effect the reduction of the period of labor to J - ^i&hthours ?day. THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, 8. C., May 16,1873. The State Press In Favor of Greeley and Brown. Sufficient time has olapsod since the nomination at Cincinnati, for amanto look around and take notes of tho situa tion. And we ar? glad to inform our readers that tho Press of South Carolina is, with almost ontire unanimity, in fa vor of Grecloy and Brown, and opponed to any independent nomination by tho Democrats. In tho meantime the National' Execu tive Committee of tho Democratic party have met in New York, at the houso of | Mr. Belmont, the Chairman, and called a Democratic National Convention to meet in tho City of Baltimore on the 9th of July* Baltimore w:as selected over Cincinnati and St. Louis, we presume, to free the Convention from local influ euces favorable to the Cincinnati nomi nees. But we imagine that the Conven tion will work with an eye single to the good of the country. We imagine it will be subject to the constantly growing pub lic sentiment which every day points more and more unmistakably to the abso- | lute necessity for a fusion of elements in opposition to the demagogues and office seekers who are expected to control the action of the Philadelphia Convention. It is not clear yet what the Democracy will do, but there are many signB that lead the dose observer to conclude that there will be no straieht-out Democratic nominations against Greeley and Brown. There can be now of course no positive forecasting of the work to be done at | Baltimore, The intervening two months may bring abootoueOT n>?re revolutions, and it is possible that neither party by the 9th of Jnly will occupy a position at all in correspondence with its present] one. No doubt the time given before the as assembling of the Democratic Conven tion will be well spent in the discussion of the grave questions that will come up before toa* body. It is to be hoped the greatest wisdom, fa? purest patriotism and the finest feeling wttl pharacterize the preliminary deliberations ac4 A11*! j action of the great National Democracy. We must all pull together-Democrats and Liberal Republicans. If there is discord, Grant will'certainly and inevi tably be re-elected. And then our coun try will have tost all hope, and we must go? down ?ndev ?he heel of the venal, graspL?* uoserupnious, ry7*?pical, law doiying opp?****0*' _ RepuWIcan<c7.????^n^W,,?t Does it Meant The Republican organs of this ??**^=r the Charleston Republican and th? Co lumbia Union-ar? now reiterating the oft-repeated assertions of the Democratic press as to the roguery and rascality of j "the Radical plunderers, and are condemn ing the shameful transactions of their Republican Legislators in the most fear ful and relentless manner. Pile it on, ye ink-slingers of the Republican and Union. Your Legislators ar? deserving of every word of your bitter comments, and more too. But do be just in your j denunciations, and don't strive to throw all the responsibility on your simple minded negro legislators. Touch up the "big dogs" in the ring occasionally- j your especial pets, ?L'cott, Parker, Kemp ton, <fc Co. Tote fair, gentlemen. Your Legislators have sinned grievously, but their record is almost commendable in comparison to the villainies practiced by :heir Carpet-Bag leaders. Tho Charleston Republican is not in fa vor of the contemplated extra session of | the Legislature in June, and says ; We hope that the attempt now being j made to have thc Legislature assemble say so, because wo sec no necessity for it. On the contrary, we think an extra ses sion of that body is calculated to do harm. The people have had enough of this Leg islature. The finance! of the State are in a sufficient ly bad corni i tion already, with out the Legislature attempting to tamper with them. The State and thc Republican part}' would have been .much better off, if the last Legislature had never met. We un derstand, upon tho very best authority, til at the amount of pay certificates issued for the last session amount tn $1,200,000. Just think of it; one session of the Lei. " tslature has cost thc State over a million dollars. All the receipts from the license tax* are being used to pay oil' this im mense indebtedness. An extra session would, probably, ivquire tho issuing ol $200.000 more checks. The expense of a Legislature in this State are so immense that the people cannot alford to have an other session this year. Our advice to tho members of thc Leg islature is, tc reniait! just where you arc -tit home. It is thc best place for them. The public institutions may need relief, but thc relief can nt'ver be obtained by an extra session, l egislative interfer euee will do no good ; it will only niake things worse. Thc public institutions may get some money alter thc $1,200,000 ot pay certificates um paid, but u> have another session wotiidonly increase the amount, and consequently the public in stitutions would have to wait much longer And the Columbia Union also**'rises-j to explain," and "goes for" the Legisla tors with gloves oit The Union wants a new Legislature, and says: We learn from trustworthy sources that a" movement is ou foot in nearlv ev ery county in the State to sec?ro ? bet ter class of Representatives to th? next General Assembly. This is a wis? move ment, and we sincerely trust that it will be pushed to tue fullest extent in every county. 'J'h ere were a very few good men in the last Legislature whom we should like to sec returned, but the ma jority should be left at home. Some of| these men thought no more of selling their votes than they did of taking their meals, and they did the one with almost as mudi regularity as the other. No bill of any importance, even to their own appropriatian bill, was allowed to pass without pay. Nor was tins rascality confined to Representatives from any particular section of the Stat?. It was more thc rule, than the exception. A North Georgia Friend. Away up in salubrious North-western Georgia, a few miles from CatoosaSprings a i'1 oh the Western and Atlantic R.

Niblo's, the oldest, ?nd always one of | th? most famous of the Now York The atres, was entirely destroyed by fire on the morning of the 6th inst. It .'stood immediately in rear of the Metropolitan Hotel-in fact might be called part and parcel of the same building. The Hotel was also terribly damaged-to tho extent, it is said, of $300,000. Hotel and Thea tre are the peoperty of A. T. Stewart,. The famous Drug Establishment of Hem bold, adjoining the Metropolitan, was | likewise almost consumed. All the prop erties, fixtures and wardrobe of the The atre were lost. In consequence of which many actors and actresses are great suf ferers. It is announced that Mr. Stewart will commence rebuilding .the Theatre im? mediately, and have it ready for tho fall and winter season. Ata meeting of Democratic edi tors, held at Chicago, representing eigh teen journals, it was resolved to await the action of the Democratic Conven tion, when, if Cincinnati was endorsed lt will receive the hearty support of r em - ocratic Illinois* JUT Greeley is down on carpet-bag gers, and the Columbia lenton is conse quently down on Greeley, To the Augusta Floral Fair, and. Back. We betook ourselves ?o Augusta :last week, and there spent two days looking at the Sabre-men, the Railroad-men, the j Cotton States Association men, the beau- j tilol. flowers, and the beautiful \?omen. In fact Ono ?ees beautiful things in Au gusta at all times. Beautiful tilings iii flesh and'blood, beautiful things in art,' beautiful- things in nature, beautiful things in enterprise, beautiful tilings in fashion. Nestled in that green and fer ule lowland by tho broad Savannah, Au gusta is truly a beautiful place ; and with the added attraction of a refined; hospi table and intolleotud. society, thero is no inland city whero a person can live more pleasantly-out of the reach of the un ceasing bustle, wickedness and excite ment inseparable from lifo in a crowded metropolis, and yet with animation, resource and variety enough to protect one from ennui. Arriving at the hospi table Planters' Hotel, at 7 A. M., on Thursday, we found that favorite estab lishment already full of stir and bustle, for here were the headquarters of the Savannah Sabre Club, and its members were up, in full regalia, and burnishing their arms for tho second day's contest. They wore black pant?, gray jackets, bine vests, and jaunty caps. They were as handsome a sot of "merry cusses" as ever we laid our eyes on, and Qenl. An derson, their Captain is such a combina tion of Hercules, Antinous and Apollo as one seldom nwtfP With, Bat " merry cusses" is not ours. We heard a beauti ful girl speak of them thus as she utood upon the balcony of the Hotel, ar.d view ed them marching off in line. And at half past nine, everybody to the Fair Grounds ! The weather is charm* ing, the streets leading to the Grounds j are lined with vehicles and pedestrians,' [ and of all days faliis is the one for seeing Augugt# in ?11 hey-day. The Pair Grounds ara full of ladles, gentlemen, children, and Sabre-men, sauntering along in the gay holiday sun, but all tending towards the Grand Stand', to see the tourna ment. And now we are actually in the Grand Stand, and behold the creme de la creme of Augusta belle dom. Bright, high-bred faces, elegant figures, rich dresses, are the raje, f-oyel v children, as elaborate ly dressed ?st$?if fn^ers, and as gay as bright spring flowers, flash in and nut among the crowd. In the front row sit lovelyjgirls, with wonderful heads and hats and parasols and tricks-all pour enjoler les garcons of the sabres. And then the tilting, and the splendid knightly figures, and the matchless horses, and the fine riding !? Not mean ing, b?v?yW,' iJa^tall was thus. Oh, no ? much w*s .quite p$e?rwfse.'

Tho splendid white plume, the prize given by a Savannah lady to the best rider in the Augusta Club, was also presented to Mr. Hack. Mr. W. L. Baynow, of the Savannah Club, was presented with a pair of hand some gilt spurs, and declared to be en titled to crown the Second Maid of Honer. Mr. J. H. Thayer of the Augusta Club was awarded a fino bridle and the right to crown the Third Maid of Honor. Of the Coronation Ball, which took place in the evening in Floral Hall, we have only to say it was a brilliant suc cess. Two young ladies of Edgefield excited much admiration and received much attention on this occasion-Miss E. B. and Miss E. R. The latter was But the Flower Show was what we en joyed most. The collection was not very large, but extremely rich and beautiful. And so much the better for not being so largo. More available to look at, and mort possible to be inspected. Nor was the Hall by any means crowded-as du ring the crushing Fall Exhibitions, when you rind yourself involuntarily praying to God to conic and release you from the glare and stare and wear of men and women,-thu ulick of sowing machines, and th?) infernal bang-whang oi pianos. Thu flowers wore almost entirely of the Green HOUMI kind*. Such Geraniums I Such Pelargoniums ! Such Coleus ! Such Calad i um?! Stu-h Azaleas! Such Furos! Such wonderful creeping plaut.il Such beautiful new things that wc never saw before! And above all, such fabulous double Fish Geraniums, of every shade of red ! . . Thero was but one Policeman in the Hall, and he slumbered on a tabb*. Wc ate raw turnips, cherries, strawberries, and plucked Apple Geranium leaves at will. We wandered up and down, won1 dering, exclaiming, envying, coveting, williup to steal whole pot* ! Wu were de lighted! Wc blessed tho Policeman, and sitting on the edge ol' a hug? Rho dodendron tub, sang " My willing soul would stay in such a fuiye as this." The* li nest collection of plants was thai of Mrs. Geo. A. Oates. We have run af ter beautiful flowers in many lands, but we never saw liner or moro beauti ful than these. Two magnificent Rhododendrons, ono purple, the otha!- white, in fullest bloom, were tho property of Mrs. Cumming. And through sdi, and over all, and in all, might be aeon Berckiaans. Wo did not behold him with our mortal eyesy but we felt him all around And we shook hands with him when we turnod up the faces of his Fusjchias, And uoxt day, after looking in npon many of thone splendid establishment* which advertise in the Advertiser, we gathered up our things, leaving behind all our collars and handkerchiefs, and carno home-like a sow returning to her wallowing in the mire. And as far as the Pine House we had tho company of McLuro, of the Chester Reporter, and Robinson of the Wumboro News, two as bright and bravo gent lernen as ever graced tho brotherhood. And they are coming to see us, and we want you all to help us make much of them. Ko Scaling of Old Debts. Tho Col inn bia correspondent of the Charleston News writes : Au important decision was rendered ; to-day by the Vupreme Court in the mat tcr of scaling ante bellum .debts. -Iii the .case of Detheridge vs. Earle, an action in the lower Court upon a promissory note, an appeal was taken on the grouncl thal the unjust, erroneous and unwar ranted charge of the presiding Judge led the jury to*Dring in such averdiot. The m<-tion for a new trial was granted, and that practice was unconstitutional. Tho .Supremo Court hold that a contract shall not bo interfered with (if a sudi cion t consideration were given) because it was made previous to or during the late rebellion, unless made in reference. to the Confederate States notes or their equivalent, and a verdict for the whole amount due is justifiable. The Court holds that the Courts below shall respect all rights of the parties ; no Stats having a right to impair a contract, and much less can any court assume the right to impair a solemn obligation between cit izens, and permit persons'to pay only one-half of their debts : that such action would be offering a' primium for rebel lion. This decision opens the way for nu? merouB cases, and annuls what has been j known as "jury law." The scaling of old debts may bo uncon stitutional, and has been so pronounced in several instar ces by the Court, of Ap peals, but the public sentiment of all Edgefield has lopg since been proclaim ed <n favor of this method of settling old, cia. ui s, and do ab tl ?ss our Juries will continu? to sustain tho wish of the peo pie, and in all old debt cases brought be fore them, will rtnder their verdict ia ' accordance with the .practice prei lor the last four years, otherwise injustice will "be done. ?

J., Dr. Warren Randolph, of Penn., the'companion of Dr. Broad us in bis recent European travels, and Mr. Horace Waters, of N.'Y. Our I GENERAL IMPRESSIONS were that the entire session was highly edifying and delightful, tho hospitality of Raleigh open and cordial, and the ar rangements by the Church and pastor (Dr. T. H.
