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.

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

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

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

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,

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.

. The Burning Of Niblo's Theatre.
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.

JUT Greeley is down on carpet-bag

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.' But, Lord

Mr. E. W. Hack, of the Augusta Club,
received the saddle and bridle, and was
declared entitled to crown the First Maid
o? Honor. 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,

next session will be- held in Montgom
