THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON VENTION. This body convened in Columbia, on Wednesday" morning, the 21st, and was called to "order by Lieut. Gov. Ransiar, Chairman of the "Stale Executive Com mittee, who, in a few brief remarks, stated the objects for which the Convention had been called. .. The financial report of the Executive Committee was submitted. , Congressman R. B. Elliott was chosen temporary Chairman of the Convention, and, Walter Jones, Secretary. After consftrable discussion, the rulers of toe House], with certain alterations, were adopted. Ori motion, a recess was taken, to allow the Chairman to appoint a Committee on Credentials. During the interval the Convention was entertained by music from Thompson's brass band. There were contesting delegations from six Counties, viz: Charleston, Beaufort, Lexington, Chesterfield, Union and York. The following is the Committee on Ore , dentials : . . J. H. Rainev, Chairman, H. Ellison, S. .7. Lee, J. R." Cochran, Jas. M. Smith, T. J. Mackey, G. Warlev, Wm. M. Thomas. P. C. Fludd, Paris Simkins, T. J. Mintot. J. M. Allen, J. H. Durham, Reuben Gaith er, Allen Hutson, Joseph Crews, C. S. Smith, Wm. Odom, Simeon Young, David Singleton, J. S: Jamison, A. M. Folger, F. L. Cardozo, J. P. F. Camp, Wm. E. John ston, S. A. Swails, M. L. Owens. After the appointment of the commit tee, the Convention adjourned at about three o'clock till eight, p. m. * EVEKING %ES?.I0N. ' Thc Convention re-a?&embled soon alter eight, p.. m. The Committee oh Creden tials not being ready to report, Jones pro posed that the Convention should have a ?peech from Col. Kirk, of Beaufort. Thi was voted down. , Mobley said that he saw Senator Saw yer on the lloor, aud msved that he br invited toeddress the Convention. Jones declared tartly that he saw noth . ing-in ?Mr. 8awyer's record since? he was picked #p by the Republican party .to en title him to a voice in the councils of th' party. If Sawyer had brought down tf this ? ate the mandate from Grant or somebody else, as stated in the Charles ton News of to-day, that the Convention inust go in a certain way, and not the other, no for one would enow thora tha i he had beea sent here neither as a knave nor as a fool, and ho as.ked nobody to come down from Washington to chain i: oig letter* on a black boar?for poor nig gers to read the orders by which they should be governed. Sawyer had bee' ?resent in the last Convention, and nov. e reappeared in this, as though he had u hereditary right to dictate to us poor ig norant negroes, us poor dupes in the Sun ny South. If Sawyer wanted to comf and advise the Convention, he should come unconnected with any clique or del egation. June Mobley spoke in support of his motion to invite Sawyer to speak, but thi question being put it was lost. After speeches by Mobley and others . and considerable confusion, a recess wa> taken for fifteen minutes. The gas was flickering all this time, and the Conven tion was in semi-darknes3. The real ob ject, of the rpcess was to resuscitate the metre. The recess was interrupted at half-past ten by a motion to adjourn till ten o'clock Thursday morning, which was carried. SECOND DAY The Convention met on Thurtdav morn ing, at 10 i\. M. . After an interval of an hour, during which no business was transacted, Rainey Chairman of the Committee on Creden tials reportad. There were five contesting delegations, the principal ones being thc Union. .Beaufort and Charleston delega tions, and the report ot the Committee or. Credentials was in favor of those headec respectively by June'Moblty, Smalls and Mackey. The vote was first taken upon those who hail no contestants, which was unani mously carried. Tuen in order came thc Union delegation-Mobley'^ beings seated without discussion. Thc Smalls' delegation from Beaufort came next under consideration. W. J. Whipper headed the contestants. Swails, of Williamsburg, offered a minority re port of thc Commise of Credentials, ad miitihg gross irregularities in thc election of each set of delegates and in favor o! seating boin, giving to each half a vote. Upon this report considerable discussion arose, participated in by Rainey, Cardozo Swails. and Jamison,- of ttamgeburg-the hitter being repeatedly called to order. r Upon motion of Cardozo tho debate was closed, and the Smalls' delegation seated The next in. order came the Charleston delegation-the factions being headed re spectively by E. W. M. Mackey and Bowen. Rainey moved* that, debate upon the Charleston case Ix-lirai ted io halt' an hour. Adopted. Casdozo moved tlir.t fifteen minutes bv allowed each delegation to argue their claim. Maxwell in opposing this, con .sumed thc half hour allowed for debate, .affer which ?lainey under privilege as Chairman of the Committee presented iii? case, an J the Mackey delegation was seated; Cardozo moved that a Committee of, throe from the State at large and one froin each Congressional District be appointe:; on permanent organization ; adopjfd. ?Th' .Committee Liing appointed as follows: . f?tate at large, r. L. Cardozo, B. F. Whitemore. S. J. Leo ; 1st District, Max well ; 3d District, R. H. Cain : 3d Dis , triot, C. D. Ilaype; -Ith District? June Mobley. The Convention re assembled at 4 10 p.m. The Committee on permanent or ganiaation reported tbxoneh their Chair: man F. L Cardoze, and HOB. B. B. E?llot .waselected permanent President, - Minton, Secretary ot thc Convection. Elliott being conducted to the chair by Mobley, Max well and E. W. M. Mackey returned thanks in a britikfpeech. Jamison, moved that the Convention proceed to nomination, and after much bllibustcring the motion prevail?!. Smells pominatc-d S. Tv*. Melton. Jamison nominated M. ii. Delaney. Maxwell nominated F. J. Moses." Jones said the only thino which can be .saiil ag-iinst Moses was issuing pay certifi cates. lie did not put thorn in his pocket, it was to hiS honor ihat, when the Ku Klux ?drove tuen from their homes to find refuge in Columbia, he gave them employ ment in tho House of Representatives as hewers of wooq and carriers of coal. A tried Reptftlican must be placed at tb< head ofttio ticket. They aid ?o? want" the assistance and advice of those eleven tL hour Republicans, who came here to make nominations. Wo wanted none of their advice or support. \Ve had got along thus far without them. We vjill put them on probation before admitting them aa advisers of tho party. Jamison thought that in the nomina tion of Moses they had. conceded lo the ?wrfnte people of South Carolina all they could ask, ne was a native, a graduate of the State College, one who had fought the battles of thc Confederacy, and being .whipped had yielded and fallen gracefully into the Republican party. We had tried all the distinguished men of the State, and they had refused unless they could be nominated as Democrats. If the Demo crats wanted more reform, let them come into the party ind give us the benefit ol their intelligence. Cain said Moses has been a tried and true friend of Republicanism in South Carolina, he had horne its odium and maintained its rights. It is said that it' Moses is nom' -ed there is tb be a bolt. . if so we are prepared to meet a bolt. The fight was that of the rich man vs. the poor man, of the laboring man against, ?ie bondholders; a fight on which de pends the future prospects of the State.. Moses had spent-more money than any other public man ; he is a spendthrift ; but if he does spend, the poor people get it. .Bat the charge of issuing $1,000.000 cer tificates is only rumor-it is clap-trap-it could not be done without somebody know ing it. There is no mention of it in the report of the Treasurer. The members have not received their pay. *e had ob served the tracte of Mr. Spinner in this ?'Hail, and.it was his pride'that Moses had "not paid one dollar to seeure the nomina tion. We want an administration which wou give the poor people a voice in the adrni istration. . He is pledged toxcforra, whi will secure this, lt will be~und that has had less to?do in the en nous spec la Hon* than any other office/ of the Gc eminent. i am informed that there is to be a other Convention, a split in the Repub can party; let it come, if they canco vince the poor men of the country th their interests be elsewhere than in th partv let them succeed. We shall accoi plish rpform, school houses shall be bu and the treasury of the State shall be s care while the poor man can get his mon wh?n he has earned it. Jamison moved that thirty minutes allowed to.members in making andsecon inc nominations. Mackey hoped that it would not done. An organized effort was now beii made by the bond-holders to buy up tl Convention, and this effort will fail. Tl motion was-withdrawn. . Neagle from York, disclaimed any 1 tention to speak disrespectfully of ai man; if any man in this Convention e pected this of him he would be disa noiiiieJ." He had no'thing to say again \? ..ses. If be was criminal or naked ' would step ba.k and throw the mantle pharitv over his nakedness. He nominat Chamberlain, a man of brilliancy, onew] ?it the breaking out of the war shoulder 'jis musket and tramped to the mus Under the law, of which he has had a thority to do, $3,700,000 of bonds h jeeh sanctioned by him, and he has hi nothing to do with the issue of any co version bonds. Elliott interrupted to say that if t' gentleman was defending tai character his nominee, he was in order; if the I nancial Board, it wasnoi in order. Neap explained that he was but fexplaining ai defending his connection witji the issue, bonds. All the att?cks made upon Chat ?erlain m connection with the fraudule '?sue of bonds, are malignant and false. The nomination of Moses would r" tie* Republican party-it wouid divi the party and place the poor peop!e aga under the iron heel of despotism* and^ could no longer hold the reins of pow? and our power would pass into the han )f the old arch-enemy, the Democral ' Dar ty. Chamberlain's influence won .mable him, if needful, to bring down m lions of men from the North to defend tl rights of the colored men. He cou r ich .a cord ' of feeling in the Northe heart which could not be reached by ai ?Southern man. Elliott interrupted to say that he, Ne rle, could not touch a ?ord in his heal ?nd he would at ?ha. pro; er time .?lin that the gentleaian was not a friend .ho colored man. Neagle suggested .oifc. Elliott wanted to know if the would be a.bolt if the .Convention non nated Mr. Moses. Neagle replied that 1 would sustain the nomination first, la and forever, but believe 1 that it was b: aolicy to pursue a course which wou drive even.a smrll minority from the pa ty. To nominate Chamberlain would I 50 ensure certain victory, to nominate M <es would be to endanger thc-party, ai as he feared ensure defeat. 'Swails, of Williamsburg, implored tl "onv?ntion to look at the present cone1 'ion of the State, and asked if this was lime for party or race proposai?. I would nominate Reuben Tomlinson, [chee an original Abolitionist and Rep?blica who was the first to come into tlie eau of education, who taught the fi ret colon ?school, who was the friend of the poi alan, who was free from any taint pf co rnption. He asked colored men and tn while men, one and alt, to join hands f rh:? honest man and true. Republican. Judge Orr warmly recommended tl nomination of Tomlinson, a man persoi .??y pur-": the educational pioneer;, tl ri rst Siate ? iv liter who formed our syste; of taxation and is familiar with it ; a inn whom calumny never touched: a Nord ernc-r whose svmpathies and interest ai with? us, who has all the qualities of he.i md heart to make a good Governor, j ?s very importun that such a man shoal bs elected. Our finances are disorder? our 'i- IH enormous, the treasury erupt; t!ie public asylums and the Penitential >n til?1 point of closing. A good mon ? .mist have. This was due fous persona ly; and to the party which has suffer? >y bad management somewhere., and hi become a by-word and reproach. Xii Republican irty, having the majority, csponsible for the public wrong-doinj ana these wrongs must be redressed wit!: in thc ranks of the party. [Cheers.] Feel mg and personal wishes should not b consulted. Delegates must vote for th Cindidate?onlv whom they believe tob a true man. The chair having ruled tha the record of candidates could be adverse ly scrutinized, Judge Orr said he wool raly commend hw candidate. If the del ogates looked at bis "merits, and saw th abuses in thc government, they must rc cognize the need ol' stopping extravagance and taking up a man wholly discounectei from charges of corruption, and who wil not a-M to thc weight of infamy whicl brines the Republican party into disre pute, ami which it cannot long endure Congressman Elliott took the floor ii support of Moses. Some facts must bi laid baie" which, would demand pnhlii condemnation, and show thc means usm :o procure MosWsdefeat. Tho one potent means was money. No one could dcn\ thai promises and offers hail been made that a few hundred dollars had been car ried around to buy votes. Who are tb*< men who j'ir. the machinery in mo ion' Who aro 'they who offer bribes? What ire their -.lamc-s? [Cries of "name,' " name."] One of the delegation to wBom money had been offered was Simpkins, ol Edgefield. He suid to Elliott "that he ..vas approached by a Slate oficial and asked to support Chamberlain and name Iiis price. Who MOS the State officer'.1 There he is. (pointing to Comptroller Nea gle.) Behold the nam! [Thesewords caus al a iremendoa*! sensation.] Elliott, con tinuing, said that Ellison, of Abbeville, l ai?o approached and offered three hun drcd (Jollars to five hundred dollars to vote ?or Chamberlain. Who offered that tnon .y ? (Elliot! pointing to Neagle again) J -av. behold t.he man ! Wwii the'delegation, can they support i man whose nomina tion Ives to be procur?e! by ?ueb means V Hie same persons who 8?ppo*i*vd ?ham . rlain intended to thrust thc old jiinir. '.ial f.'ing upon the State. One of thc emissaries of Parker had offered three lundrod dollars to five hundred dollars to ?Simpkins, of Edgefield. to vote for Parker, i'hat emissary is Eichelberger, the county trcaMMtt? ot' ridgefield, whoso official head would com* ?f[ >.o-morrow. At this point ?esgle struck in and ask .d if Elliott w:is aware thai Moses bad offered a delegate a thousand dolla;-; for * i#vote? Tri?t of?'er was made lo Owens, A York. . Elliott said it was as false as hell, and known to be false. Moses had no money. The sense of the convention would tell them he woidd not offer such a sum to a man known to be wjtb. the., enemy. He declared that Neagle had boasted that n lie bad the roll, of delegates one day before die convention he could nominate whom he pleased. He did not fear the bolters. They were all either new comers. or oh. ooliticians. In conclusion, Elliott warm ly advised the convention to nominate Moses , Jamieson moved to close all debate, but, after fillibus^ering, Whitemore was allowed to speak ip favor ot Tomlinson. Whittemore said he rose in fear and trehi bling.for the future of the party in South Carolina. He had been humiliated to the soul at Hie proofs brought forward ol shameless bribery and corruption in be half of both .candidates. The responsi bilities of delegates were gr?at. . He beg ged t^em to pause and ask their own con sciences what.thev should do, and then say to Governor Scott and his ring that, if they could not be impeached pf high crimes and oiisdemeanois, they would at least be removed by the voice of the bal lot-box. H,e had himself committed one great blunder, and had beep held up in Congress by the preceding speaker, (El iott,) as a vicarious sacrifice. God knew he had suffered for that error and he frqp ed for mercy now. They were instructed by their constituents to return no man connected with the frauds on the State, and he could . no more support the one man who had been guilty of over-issues of pay certificates than the other who was guilty of over-issues of bonds. There was rottenness in the houses of both candi dates. Whittemore then reviewed the % career of Tomlinson in this State, claim ing that he was an unflinching Republi can, unimpeachably honest, and an un swerving friend of the celore.d man and of education. After Whittemore had concluded, T. J: Mackey got the.floor, and went savagely for Tomlinson and Whittemore. He said lie would tear the masks from the faces of both, and show their hideous ugliness. He would show that Tomlinson had enriched himself at the expense of the State, and, it he did not prove thc assertion, Tomlin son had his remedy against him m the . .murts. He charged, first, on this symbol of honor, that, in 1S?9, a bill was brought ?rn before the Legislative, of which he was a member, to charter a phosphate company. Tomlinson was the special ad vocate of that bill. The bill passed, vest ing the control of all this vast sowrce of revenue to the. State in that company, arid j ust "after the passage of : nat'bill Tomlin-1 s n'? name appeared on the books of that company for forty thousand dollars o? its stock. The time had been when a legisla tor of Soi fi Carolina would have shrunk from such an imputation as bribery* as from the fang of a deadly serpent. Ne*t came the bill to create thc smkipg fund commission, by which the Greenville and, Columbia Railroad was to be turned over in a comrhission. He could prove tha,'t H. H. Kimpton paid Tomlinson ten thousand dollars for one half share of the stock 6f that company.* He could produce the partnership. Tomlinson was then State auditor, and he charged that soon after the passage of the phosphate bill, Tomlin I son was made treasurer of the phosphate company. Tomlinson could be convicted of ail these charges in the courts, and he (Mackey) only Wanted tlrVopportunity to get Tomlinson before a coart and prove them. -Tomlinson was*in the pay of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Com pany, and was treasurer of that company .it t?ie same time while State auditor. He turned then to Tomlinsons eulogist, Whit temore. He was a gentleman from Dar lington, whose lofty mansion reaied its no ble front within ten miles of Boston, and .had been purch?sed within a year. It was ?.he old trick of the thief putting on the uniform of a policeman to escape detec tion. Who, he asked, did not remember the Blue Ridge scrip swindling bill last winter? Whittemore was silent as the grave during its passage through the Sen ate in the last hours of the session. Four days after the ,adj?urnment Whittemore was found in Nejv York selling his Blue Ridge scrip. He was glad to see him in a spirit of repentance, but it was a spirit which had arisen yesterday and would pass away tomorrow.. He was a fit refor mer on the principle admitted in medicine that to innoculate a patient yqu take thc virus from the worst case of small-pox you ".in find. [Laughter and cheers.] ' He wis willing to throw the mantle of charity .>ver repentent criminals, but to claim that :ie had oily committed one blunder, apel that his crime of selling West Point ca detsb?ps, for which he was twice kicked out of Congross,, was too much. He own-' ed broadlands in South Carolina, bought <incc he had been senator and since he was. kicked out of Congress. Richer,, he had oecomc mow corr.npt, or like a drowned body, he rose as, he rotted. He said he supported Mosel because he was thc best md thestrongest man -in the State. The Legislature must be cleansed, or there i;ould be no reform. Even John C. Cal houn would bc paralyzed by a corrupt Legislature. It* is currently believed that if Chamberlain should bc elected all the State debt of $10,000,000 will bc made ..ood, and taxes immediately levied to pay ?lastdueand accruing interest; while if Moses is elected, thc taxes will not be pressed until the S.tate is more prosperous, >r the debt reduced ft?r below its present rol?me Better a dead part}' than a dead .State. If Moses is elected, Whitemore 4iail not stay in the Senate thirty days, .nd the opulent ex-Land Commissioner Leslie would be. stripped of bis gains. Leslie broke in hero, and said he could prove teat Muses was the first man in thc .->:ate to make money out of thc land commission. * Mackey replied * that Leslie ascuscd Moses of stealing the first money to excuse tiunself for stealing the last. Judge Orr here.said i th?tt-hc had-jtrust ?vorthy information that Moses had offer .d Maher, of Barnwell, two thousand dol lars for his vote.' Maher was called lo the har, and de dared that the offer was so made. [Tre mendous cheers.] . Mackey said that Maher was an enemy of Moses, and the man wl(o attempted to kill Elliott at Allendale. Johnston, of Symter, said that Maher was paid three hundred dollars to make tins charge. t Elliott said that Judge On- was pow wowing'.with Maher just before thc charge, was made. Judge Orr sajd he mel Mather, accidentally, who told him ot" thc attempt cb bribe. Elliott said that it \v;us well understood that the Barnwell delegation was for sale, and he was informed that .Mosts had ask ed Maher what was his price, and would two thousand do? and Maher said "yes." Maher flatly denied this, and said Moses sent for. him frequently, and last night asked him if his mind was ma<fc up to go for him. Maher s?id he would go for the best man. M/wes then -offered two thou sand dollars for his vote, which was .refused. ' S wails* now charged that Moses had offered Owens, of York, one thousand dol lars for his vote. A scene of tembl? con- ( fusion ensued, lasting some time, when, under the one sided rulings of the chair man, a nomination was ordered, the ballot resulting: Moses GU; Melton 18; Cham berlain 16; Tomlinson 15. Thc announce ment of the nomination was received with cheers. ' A Committee of three was appointed to wait on the nominee and inform him of his nomination and introduce him to the Convention. On the announcement of tho result of the vote "Judge-Orr remarked that his knowledge M t?,e antecedents would pre vent him from taking any further part in the.proccedings of the Convention and he fell constrained by self-respect to relire.: Mackey, T. J.; from the (Speaker's desk hoped he would be indulged as lie had been engaged all his life in. jumping from side to-side A committee was then nppointcdto no tify Moses of his nomination, anti invite .im u address thc convention. .Thc com mittee BOOJ: found thc nominee, and es corted hun in^o the Jj?J.1.'theband chang ing Dixie" to "Seo, thc croqueting hero comes." m Thc Committee escorted F.' J. Moses to the President's deSK, whore he was in troduced to flic Convention by.-the-Presi dent. When the applause subsided, Moses commenced his address. Ile said there we re occasion in thc life of every man when he felt erob?jOfcS almost too diop for utterance. If ever there had k^en.an oc casion in his lifo fraught ivitb pleasure and gratification, it was at that moment,' when he was surrounded by Republicans who had fixed upon him for their candi .fcite foi chief magistrate of the State ol .?South Carolina. He also fully recognized die immensity of thc responsibility be took upon himself iu entering upon the campaign as their gjandard-bearer. He had no studied words .of' eloquence to ad dress them, but he could speak unprepared . jecause his language came from sis hean. First, he desired fully and cordially to dis claim^! feeling of enmity or hostility toany ' one on account of expressions evolved by the momentary passions of a heated can vass, ile bad not one unkind feeling, not ' one harsh thought or .expression toward any Republican in the State. He pajd a high and warm tribute to his opponent, .'hamberlain, the able., scholarly and bril liant ornament to the Republican'party of the State of-South Carolina. ' To those Re publicans whose judgment led- them to support otjier gentlemen, he would say that he believed them to have been actuated by the purest and best of motives. They had fought well, and done their whole dutv for their friends. Now he asked to'let ail ? conflict cease, and be brothers again- To think more of party than men-of prin cipies than persons. He then announced his principles tb govern him, if elected, rte prophesied that, if elected, he would inau gurate an era- of economy which would satisfy every man with?V the confines of the State-Democrat as well as Republican. First, he would aim to reduce the public debt and bring it within such limits as to enable tho State to pay its interest, without bringing poverty to every fir?eicf? in the I State. Second, and consequent upon the first, he would secure a reduction of the taxes. These wore reforms that the Re publican party must effect, or its doom was sealed. The people had spoken in tones of thunder, and that Voice must be responded to. It was not yet too late-neyer too late to stnve.t,o do right. If they exhibi ted faults atid follies in the past it was time to begin to eradicate them, and the standard bearer of the Republican party should remembqrthat while he should in scribe upon his banner "Equal rights for all." he should battle as well for the pockets as for thc rights of the whole people. He then said that he was exhausted with the mental strain of the last few days, and would not delay them longer. He would address his views to the people in full through the columns of tile public press. After a further expression of thanks he said good night. Cheers followed, amid which the con vention adjourned till ton o'clock Friday. THIRD DAY The Convention met on Friday, naorn ing at 10 A. M. ' The Committee on Platforms subrait ' ted a report drawn up bj* T. J.' Mackey. The platform pledges the Convention: 1st: To Grant and Wilson, and tfte sup port of the Pliiladclphia?plati*orm. 2d. Pledges tho party to financial re form in the Government, by suspending the pavment.of interest on every bond of theTState, to which the slieht?st sus picion can be attacned, and' pledges the payment of interest on tho legal debt. 3d. Pledges that a safeguard shall be thrown around the State Treasury. . 4th. A reduction of the public expen ses, and a moderate syr.tera of taxation and a fair and equitable assessment of property, and the immediate reduction of the?salaries of all public officers, and a reduction of .the numbers of officers. 5th. It regards the General License T.aw as odious and oppressive, and pledges th? party to its immediate repeal. . 6tn. Pledges the enactment of a law providing that no moneys be paid out of the treasury except in pursuance of the enactment of law and on warrants of the Comptroller-General ; and also theComp 1 roller-General to publish daily report" of the receipts and disbursements of their offices for tho past twenty-four hours. 7th, Thp enactment of law and order in the State, and the protection . ot the rights of all citizens. 8fch. In full faith in the justice of prin ciples, and confessing error's of the pas they appeal to all true Republicans tn unite in proving to .the world that (rood government and Republicanism are not inconsistent with each other. . The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of State officers. For Lieutenant Governor, Rev. R. H. Cain, Rev. E. J. Adams and R. H., Gleavos, were nominated by their re spective friends. Upon counting the bal lots R. H.*Gleavcs received 61 votes, R. H. Cain 42, E. J. Adams G. The President then announced R. H. Cleaves as the choice of the Conventioi for nomination for the office of Lieuten ant Governor. (Great applause.^ ? A eommittoo was appointed to inform the successful nominee of his. nomina tion, and requesting h i m.to address tin Convention, which lie did in a very few remarks, returning his thanks for tin honor conTcrrcd upon h ah, and promis ing that he would bo often heard from during the coming campaign. On motioito? Mr. Swails, the Conven tion thou went into a nomination for Soc rotary of State, which resulted in tho nomination of Henry E- Hayne, late Land Commissioner, "and F. H. Frost, ni Williamsburg.' The result was: Hoyne fi.5; Frost, 33. . The President announced Mr, I layne as the successful candidate. ?Slr. Jamison; after a*highly eulogistic speech, nominated Judge Samuel W. Moiton for tho'offico of* Attorney-Gene ral. Mr. Neagle nominated Hon. D. H. Chamberlain Tho former received UK nomination by a vote of 100 to 6; when, on motion of w. R. Jones, the vote TO made unanimous. A committee, consisting of -Messrs. Smalls, Hedges and Jon qs, was appoint ed to inform Judge Melton ol'his cleo tion and conduct him to the 'speaker'> stand. In a few? minutes, the committci returned, with thc Judge upon thti. shoulders, and wore greeted with groai applause-the band playing a national air. Tlnj President, on behalf of th?. Republic in party of tito State, congratu lated him upon his nomination. Jndgi Moiton responded in a few remarks. Mr. Kai ney nominated Hon F. L Car dozo for State Treasurer, and was soc .>n?Vd by Judge Mackey and (jon. F. J. Moses. * , ..Swails made along speech, attacking Cardoso's career as a State officer, an condemning him for withholding from the public, for two years, what lie hn< published in his letter concerning th? thieving and plundering of ?he Scot Rim;. Carduzo replied, pitching consid erable mud around, and at this stage o' the proceedings, about four o'clock, cm menced a scene of'disgraceful confus! i and-noise that has .seldom been equaled Mobley made tho afr Ping with hishowls. and for ov r three hours the shouting and yelling continued unabated. ThooppositiontoCardozo, lo?' by Fjost. Swails, Moble}*, Jamison and others, seemed to gain*ground, and in tho lace of the arbitrary rulings of '""llio'.t a vote was staved oil' until about 8 o'clock. At this timo Elliott instructed thc Clerk ta call the roll for the ballot, but Mobley suid he would be d-d if a vote should be taken until hu liud bis say Tho Chair man began lo rap him "lou'n with li* ' gavel, when Mobley, seizing a largo cu: glass-rnkstand on tho reporter's table, begat] to hammer with it. Tho crown gathered around, pistols wore drawn and thc Convention broke np bi a gen eral row. The Convention in thc wildest confu sion, adjourned until Saturday morning, 10 o'clock. FOURTH DAY. . On Saturday, tho Convention assem bled at 1(1 A. M., Congressman Elliott in thc Choir* Prayer by Rev. Mr. Hunter, of Charleston. * , Judge Mackey moved that tho r?solu lion, passed yesterday, closing the de bate upon tho nomination ?d' candidate foi?tile office of State Treasurer, be re? sounded; which was Carried. Mr. F. TI.Frostof Williamsburg, arose to a qhestipn of privilege, desiring ti reply to certain remarks mode by tin delegate from Richland, (Mr. Cardozo, yesterday. Upon "motion of Mr. Mobley, throi hours were allowed the friends cf tin different candidates to state tho clauh> of their respective candidates. Mr. Frost bier, proceeded ?? open th? vials of his wrath upon tho prominent candidate-Secretary Cardozo. S. A. Swails, (colored,) of Williams burg, followed Frost, in aseverearunign mentof Cardozo for bis acts asa mein ber of tho Advisory Board of tho Land Commission, lus connection with the in famous railroad ring, and scaling tin enormous over-issue.

If ho so misapplied tho seal, what in the flame of God, may ho bc expected to do* wi th thc keys ol'tho vault when the public moneys are kept Ho spoke also of Cardozo disregarding the expr?s.' instructions of bis County Convention in voting for Moses. Cardo/.o replied, attempting to excuse his eoiulild' th'tiio nomination of Moses, upon tho ground thut ?t was'the best bo could do, under the 'circumstances. He then wom into an explanation of the seal ing of the bonds, showing the most cor rupt and outrageous proceedings on the part of Scott and Parker. Ho even had been approached by one member of thc 1 Financial Board, and asked if any co?i- '* sillera'inn could induce him to seal the 1 bonds. Ho ordered that man immedi ately'out of bis room. ' Ho referred hero evidently to Parker, though he'did not call any name. Intho matter of the Land ' Commission, he made some astounding statements, accusing Leslie of downrigl: forgery, by which ho anticipated the ap propriation of $500,000, and used up$250, U0? of it. The appropriation was madi after Leslie's resignation, and at tho time I of tl:C appointment of DeLarge.

Mr. -S. J. Lee proposed H. W. Pnrvis for tho office of Adjutant and Inspector General, ^who was nominated without opposition ' Judge Mackey nominated J. Iv.

M.Mac key nominated F.. H. Cain. AV. McGill Fleming nominated James M. Allen, of Greenville. 1 Gen. Small* nominated J. T.'M. Epping. Juno Mobley nominated L. Cass Carpenter. For nearly an hour, Mobley kept'up a loud and rambling harangue. . Upon?counting the votes, R. H. Cain received 70 ; L. C. Carpenter, 8 ; James M. Allon, ll; J P. M. Epping, G. The Convention then adjourned to Monday morning, at 10 o', lock. The Bolters' Convention. On Friday ."morning, tho 2.?d, at half* past eleven o?clock, about thirty bolters from the Republican Convention hail as sembled in the Court House pursuant to tho call??bde this morning. . During tho morning mopy others came in until they nurhberajjl between <?rty and fifty. At twelve O'clock J. N. Hayne, of Aiken, called the meeting tb order, and moved that Hon. Jj ?. Orr take the Chair, which was carried unanimously. J. M* Sullivan, of Greenville, moved that J. N". Hayue and Turner be request ed to aroas Secretaries, carried. Turner declined to act as Secretary. Gov. Orr then-said : It has been indi cated by the call, and agreed upon by consultarldn, the purpose of,this conven tion is tox?rganize a ticket, in opposition to the o'wvnt the other end of flin Avenue |' I dcsiro'to sav, at the outset, that this or ganization is'intendfld and designed to. be exclusively Republican. We do not propos? either to conciliate or buy the Democraticparty, or to plane any mem ber nf that or the Greeley party on the ticket. tLtipposed the reform movement two years ago beeaus'e there were no such evidence os good faith as entitled it to the ?mpport of-real Republicans. I thought *hf>n that reform was noeded, but to be offectedonly through Republicans. I am .vstoni^Blj? that the Democrats should ask the Republicans, with 30,000 or35,00"ma jority in the State, to como over to their, views. If they want reform, they must .onie over to tne*Republican party, and fhero effect.it. There are SK),000 Republi cans fh the ?tate. The corrnptionists do not exceed2,000. I therefore assumethat there are"88,000 Republicans who have never cemtarainated thc^r hands with frand The bad men who rule have been ?nt in power by misplaced confidence, rt is now ~$he duty of the 80,000 colored ind S.ooo.white honest Republican voters o throw overboard the debt. The taxes ard expenditures have all Increased to a fearful and illegal extent. The public moneys had been squandered md misappropriated, and the public in stitutions aroab?ut tqbecloseu. Bnifor .nivate charity the unfortunate inmates >f the Lunatic Asylum would have been forced upon the world. No public officer iud received his salary for nino months, rheschools established principally for ?ie benefit of the colored race had been bliged to close their dnArs. The co?di ion of affairs in South Carnlina necessa rily deserved reform. The corruptions nul frauds are now ascertained and ac knowledged. I had no idea until recent ly of the extras in the Executive, Ad rninistration> and Legislative Depart ments of the Government. The cry eve rywhere while at the North was go back co South Carolina and use every effort ?Against rascality'and corruption. This is tho heaviest burden Grant has to bear. I felt constrained tc withdraw from the Convention yesterday, on ac countof thecharacter of tho nominations. While admitting the Republicanism of Closes since 1808, I cannot support him. :-Ie lias issued from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 if pay certificates- illegitimately and vrongfully from the Treasury, and these to hjs favorites and to secure his nomina ion as Governor. He had received in darch last ?11;000 from the armed force .'and when there had been no armed force in the State for over twelve months. This, I ljeliey4,.Wfls drawn and paid by ?scott l'or service* rendered hy Moses as spinktiTV^offiiitt-'Ssott's Impeachment.

Tho. conn ies aro all ready for real reform, and .vhen thc Ropuhiiuan manses are appeal ed to U\6y will do their duty, and throw lie thieves overboard and put honest men into power, .Tho Convention was then addressed by Gen. Whipper, <;. C. Bowen, R. lt, .Ter rey, L> J. Lee, T. Dickerson, R. Tomlin ?on ami F. A. Sawyer, who were all in ??"or of a new nomination, and pledged Lhemxolves tb oppose' to tho utmost, the tom i nation of don. Moses and his ticket. They acknowledged the rule of the Re publican parjy during thc pastytwo years ?i this State to have been n record nf dis trace, not only to the p?rty itself, but to Utilization.

Without reform, the Republican larty wits gone. Tho Convention took a ecess until eight o'clock. The Convention assolnbled again'ats .'clock. Capt. N.

[Cheers.] ?Vbon Monhhr Wu first spoken or as a .andidate foftGovernor, he had made up d's mind that ho was too great a-load for the party, and at Groenvillo ho had ..barged Moses, with bribery and.?orrnp .ion/bnt he know that thc paid Ring that vas howling around tho State House would raise a cry of persecution, and tho imein his opinion had now ?orne when he people would sustain an honest ticket lominttted by this Convention. He charged that Moses had issued pay cer tificates for the purpose of procuring his nomination for Governor. He was sorry that tho bolt had occurred. Tho bolters had formed thomselvoa and wore reduced rn tlie necessity of votingfor either Cham ourlain or Moses, both of whom were re . {porisible for tho frauds ortho govern-1 ' ment, and he for ono was not willing to !. it.' Johnson, a colored momber of "tho Jelegation from Anderson, next address id the Convention. He said it was no use for Democrats to think that this split rt'ould onablo them to gol. into pswer, lor if a Dem?cratic ticket w as qominat?d :ho Republicans would Immediately dose up the split ; ho didn't care if they ?rete rogues. Cyrus Gaillard, colored, Bowen dele gate from Charleston, was next called tpnn and made a regular out and out 'hrist Church Parish speech, pitching into tho corrupt administration, and ur ging tlie nomination of another ticket. Dr. B. A. Bout-man, of Charleston, also nado a speech. He endorsed this only is a Republican movement, iipd would inly go with It a? lung as it kept within Itepubhcaii linos.

Gen. Whipper wa? called upon next, who made a speech, .telling of tho cor ruption in the State government, and ad vocating reform inside of the.party. The meetimr adjourned until Saturday at 1$ o'clock, at which time a secret ses sion will be held. . SECOND DAY; On Saturday the Convention wa?. in close session during the. morning hour. At 5 o'clock p. m. the permanent or ganization was effected by the election of Hon. Jas. L. Orr as president, after which a recess was had until 8 p. m. On reassembling, the Convention went into a nomination' for Governor, which resulted intim choice of Reuben Tom linson, who was conducted <o the stand and made a speech principally devoted to the endorsement of Grant, for Presi dent and the assertion of the integrity of the present as a Bepublioan movement.
