PHILADELPHIA, June 5. Ex-Governor Claflin, of Massachusetts, called the Republican Convention to or der shortly after noon to-day/ and after ? brief speech in eulogy of the ' Republican partv, called upon "the Rev. Alexander Reed, of Philadelphia, who delivered a praver. . ' ?x-Mayor Morton McMichael, of Phil adelphia, was then elected temporary Chairman, and made an address of thanks for the privilege of presiding, even for a short time, over the Convention, and wel coming as a Philadelpbian all the dele gates to the city, and paying the highest tribute to Grant, saying that he ia more honest, better and truer than his detrac tors. John Newlen, of New Jersey, John R. Hnbbard, of West Virginia, and H. Pot ter, of Florida, were elected Secretaries. The Committee on Credentials and Per manent Organization were appointed,* and afterwards Thomas Settle, of North Car Olina, was unanimusly elected President of the Convention; Orr, of South Caroli na, and Henderson, . of Missouri, were his only contestants. Settle took the chair ana offered some brief remarks, and the. Convention adjourned till ten to-morrow. During the day speeches were made by Morton, Logan, Gerrit Smith. Governor Oglesby, John A. Gray, a colored dele gate from Arkansas, and others, all of them in warm eulogy of Grant, wbo it. wa? declared, will be "nominated by accla mation. . There is intense excitement over the Vice-Presidency. The friends of Wilson .md Colfax are both working with the greatest vim. On the question of the. rjlatform it isa dd that the only diversity of opinion that exists is on the tariff PHILADELPHIA, June 6. . The convention to-day was densely packed. Everv State and Territory was represented. The following roles were adopted : The States will be called al phabetically upon all questions. The platform will be disposed of before the nominations. The roll shall be called on the nominations. . When a majority is reached for anv candidate* the question of unanimity shall be put, when the chair ! man of the delegations shall state the j vote for each candidate or proposition. The ave minutes rule will be adopted. Reso I lutions will be referred to the committee on resolutions without reading, but reso lutions from the Union League were or dered to be read by a vote of the conven-, tion. The national committee embraces the following: Alabama, Spencer; Arkansas, Clayton; Florida, Gleason; Georgia, Fan ning : Ketituckv, Goodloe; Louisiana, Cas sanaat'; Maryland, Fulton; Mississippi, French; South Carolina, Moses: Tennes see, Maynard: Virginia, Wells; West Virginia,- C roswell. The proceedings, while waiting for the report of tile platform committee, were .ncoherent. Blacks and whites contended for the rostrum. The rules were suspend ed, and Grant was nominated. A shifting ?cene at once disclosed Grant's picture 'he farce occasioning much noise. . Thr srote for Grant was unanimous. In cast ing the votes of delegations each chairman made a little speech, which was received' with great good humor. After the confusion had subsided, ? mo tion was made to suspend the rules and nominate a vice-President, which was . carried. Pennsylvania nominated Wilson, of Massachusetts. Indiana nominated Colfax. Mississippi seconded the nomi nation ; Lynch, colored, saying it seemed to him as if the spirit of Lincoln was there, and he remembered what that pa -riot said on one occasior when he ob served '.' it was not a sale time to swap horses." The proceedings were here interrupted jy the wit rance of thc platform commit tee, which reported, in effect, as follows: THE RESOLUTIONS speak of thc great courage of, and the du ties performed by the Republican party, in suppressing the rebellion, emancipating .he slaves, emorcing the laws, developing '.he internal resources of the country, en couraging and pr.rioting emancipation, collecting thc " revenue and reducing the national debt, and expresses the beiiet that -lie country will not entrust tho {.overr* irrent to any party or combination com posed chiefly of those who have resisted every-sfcep ol' this beneficial rir/ogress. They aold ?fiat the recent amendments to thc constitution must be sustained and ear ned out, that an honorable peace with loreign nations should be maniained, that the civil service should be reformed, that uo further grants ot'tile public-lands slioulu be made to corporations, that the reyenuw mould be such as to furnish a moderate >al;tnee to bc applied to a reduction of tn ?ubhc debt, and thal revenue, except such j as is raised frorn tobacco and spirits, should oe rais.-d by duties on imports, which du ties should be adjusted so as to aid in se unng remunerative wages to tho laborer, and promoting the industries, prosperity una growth ?i the whole country ; that the future bounty of the government -aould be axtcndeu to the soldiers and mailors ol' the late war, that the American doctrino of naturalization should bc main tained, that the franking privilege should je abolished and po-uago reduced, that the .elations 01 capital and labor s:i<>uid be re cognized iind protected, that the pubik redit must.be preserved, and t?at specie raymer4s should bc resumed. The claim tor woman suffrage shouiu be treated with respectful consideration. Tne amnesty xtion.of Congress is approved, also lia auti-Ku-Klux legislation. The rights re served to thc States must b% respected, .ind finally, confluence is expressed in the modal patriotism, earnest purposes, sound .udgment and practical wisdom of U. S. iront.

Everybody can appreciate Senator Sum ter's indignation at President Grant'? .-iiabby treatment of Mr. Fred. Douglas icoiored), in declining to invite him to dinner along with the San Domingo Com missioners. Having used Douglas to cur ly favor with his race, then to treatdniii like a dog, was, with Grant's pretensions us tire guardian and champion of the- op pressed, four-fold worse than the ?cj. 01 me rebel steamboat captain, who refused Jougias admission to his dining-saloou t was an Executive endorsement of thai rebellious <*iptain, and merits the intcnsesi eprobation ol' every philanthropist. Mr. Sumner says that this outrage pain ed him morft than' the nepotism, unct the ^lfts-bearing Greeks, and the Presidential nfractions of law and Constitution. Thc President's organ feels that this is the j most serious allegation in Mr. Sumner's peech, and devotes a special article to it. the orgau does not deny the indigni ,y, but Douglas, it says, never complain .d of it, and therefore it was very indeli atc in Mr. Sumner to allude to it. Iv appears that the colored people wero not generally aware of it, and since Mr. Sumner's speech a delegation has waited rm tum to knew if his statement was true. He assured them ijt was, whereupon they etired, in a mood to be imagined, but nol described. It is also reported that some of the col ored delegates to the Philadelphia Con tention have called on Mr. Sumner to ;onsult with him as to the line of conduct they must pursue. 'He advised them by all means to have a civil rights plank in the Philadelphia platform, and nodoubt, in-the excess or his charity, he supplied hem with the petard exactly adapted to the emergency. The colored people are placed by the quarrel between Grant and Sumner in as great a quandary as Colonel Forney. They uoth adore Grant as the dispenser of office, but the colored people worship Sumner ae a divinity.

Of course the Carpet-Bag gers, and all the Radical thieves and plunderers will do their utmost against honest old Horace-" birds of feather will dook together ;"-but Greeley holds the winning card, and the united machi nations of .ill the robbers combined can not keep him out of the White House after the 4th March next. And then the ruinous an? despotic reign of the Radi cal crew will como to an end, and the country will be restored to peace ana good government. "This Office is Not iu Funds.?-And Why? State Treasurer Parker has addressed the following card to the School Com missioners of tho several counties in the State: OFFICE STATE TREASURER, \ COLUMBIA, S. C., June -, 1872. j Dcor (S?r.--I am aware,-and have been for some time past, that, to some extent, tho impression has prevailed that I an; in some way responsible tor the closing of the public" schools throughout the State ; that I have the funds in thc Treasu ry, and refuse to pay them over ; or thar ? have used them in some manner con trary to law. In fact, I have tho most positive information that reporta of this kind haye been put in circulation hy in tereste'd parties, whether froln pol?tica, or mercenary motives, lam notpreparei; to say. lu view of these facts, I am. therefore, constrained, in self-defence, to address you. No one can regret more than I do thal there are no funds in the State Treasury to pay thc orders of thc State Superin tendent of Education. By reference to tho Act of tho last General Assembly you will observe that tho General Ap propriation Bill for tho fiscal year 1872, in winch was embraced tho amount ul #-?JO,uUO for school purposes, did not be come a law until the day of adjournment, arch 13, 187- ; prior to' that elate, no law existed un?er wnich payment?) could be made.

Tho luce thal appropriations arc made dye> not put me money so appropriated into tue Treasury ; it simply uirocis how tinten, ann for what purposes, money may bu paid. lt is nul owing alone to the large ex penditures in tue pa.it that the present cm oar rushed couuitiou ol the Treasury exists, but to the fact, that during lite last four years, not muru luau two-uiirtis of the taxes levied have been collected ; while the rate of taxation lias annually U??II juadeuuate to meet the expense ol thu Government.

THE STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, ] County of Edgefield. J In the General Sessions, Jurie Tenn, 1872 To His Honor Samuel W. Melton, Pre siding Judge : . The 'Grand Jury of said County beg leave respectfully to submit the follow ing Presentment: 1. That they have examined the Jail and find it clean and well kept, butin |,need of some repairs; and there is also a necessity for a larger, supply of buck ets, plates, and so-forth for the use of the prisoners. 2. Weexamined the offices of the Clerk of the Court. 8herifF and Probate Jndce. and also of the County Treasurer and Auditor. The offices are generally in ?rood order. In the Clerk's office we find no Index Book properly kept, or Bar "Docket. In the County Treasurer's office we find no safe for keeping the papers and mnnev belonorimr to the office. S. We hixvc oxaminpd the Poor Honse find find the colored Paupers in'a misera rile condition, being sadly in want of clothing, bedding, and rations. Tho white pauperR ar** morecoihfortably pro vided for ewin? to the aid of private priends, as we are informed by the Su perintendent. 3. There has recently been a change made'in the office of County Treasuror by the removal of John Woolley and the appointment of P. A. Eichelberger in his stead. Mr. Howard, who was ap pointed by his Excellency Goy. Soott, to examine th? Books of John Woolley, has submitted to us a statement showing the result of his investi cation as to the Countv Taxes for the year 1871. by which it appears that the County is indebted to John Woolley in the sum nf Five Thon sand six hundred end seven .79-100 dol lars-, as will appear by said statement herewith filed as Exhibit "A." 4. Our attention has been called to the fact that the snretie3 to the Bond of P. A. Eicheibergeras County Treasurer were not required to Justify, and upon an ex ami na ti on of the amounts of real and personal property returned by them re spectively to the County Auditor, we are satisfied that the sureties to said -bond are entirely inadequate, and that the County Commissioners were derelict in their duty in approving of said Bond without requiring the sureties thereto to justify as to the* amount of property owned by them respectively; add we would redommend that they be indicted for malfeasance in office. 5. Several errors have been brought to our attention in regard to certain items in the accounts of the County Commis sioners, but as they have submitted no return to us, and we have been unable to gain access to their Books, owing to the fact that their office is in Hamburg, we have been unable to examine into said errors. We would recommend that the County Commissioners be required to keep ?their office at the Court House oi Ibo County. We would also present the County Commissioners for gross neglect of duty in failing to supply thc wants ol tho paupers during the present year. . 6. We are^informed that the sales being made by the County Treasurer, of lande "or taxes, arr in many cases illegal, the executions in said oase3 being for taxes for the years 18GS, 1869, 1870 and 1871, whereas tho tax books for the years 1868 and 1869 have been settled in the office of the State Auditor, and there ?being no Auditor's book for the j'oar 1670 no de linquent tax list for that year could be prepared. We recommend that a thorough oxamination be made by the Solicitor of the Circuit of the matter lust presented, and if illegal sales of property for the payment of taxes have been made, that *ue parties responsible for it be prosecu ted. 7. We would present, that thc Roads ol jhhe County are jreneraUv .? ??~*-i and that the County Commissioners have br. ii guilty of gross neglect of duty, ano have shown an utter disregard io thc welfare and convenience of thc people ol mc County by lulling to build and repaii ibo bridges over the**largo water courses tu thu County.

And furthermore, Mr. Gree ley has ben throughout his political career, In edent.and bitter opponent of | the fundamental principle., of the great Democratic porty, and tho blatant and indecat reviler of all its public men. Foui years ago, our leading men thought rare favorably ol* Gen. Grant I than now. Xou recollect very well that f there was avery strong probability that the Democitic Convention would nomi nate him jr the Presidency, and his claims wer strongly supported by the press 'thraghout the country, upon the ground,' if I mistake not, that before the war hevas fully identified, and acted with the ?nocratic party. In waking the uphoavings of tho political e meats now going on through out the untitled condition of the country, we see may strange tilings. We have lived loripnough to see politicians who aspired t<be leaders ol' the Democratic party, wk denounced mo as an aboli tionist ari disloy?j to South Carolina in 1860, fonpposing tho grand Secession movemefc, and sending by special re quest thdiew York Tribune (incendiary docunions) to a few friends in Soutli Caroliiia,-tlc very men who denounced me then .ndthreatened to tar and feather me, are bssag up their white hats and clappingthff hands over tho Cincinnati nominatbn, and huzzaing for Horace Greel?y, th?Sditor of the TiHbunc, one 'of the mostdious men to the South in tho UnitediJtates ; and I expect in a few days to car of the liberty pole being hoisted, crcned with the old- ff white hat" in hon' of Horace Greeley. I have nv given my views, (more lengthy tin I expected.)- Mr. Editor, and thc pule must be the a?biter, and determine ho has been the best friend to his couny. R. C.
