Grant's Nomination Means De feat. From an Interview with George William Curtis. "Supppse the Grant leaders go on in defiance of the powerful sentiment against a third term ; suppose they secure a majority in the Chicago Con vention and nominate Grant-what then ?" "The result would probably be the defeat of Gen. Grant and the conse quent break up of the Republican party. I do not think, however, that the Grant leaders will heed this dan ger. They prefer the defeat of the party to another administration which they cannot control." "Will the anti-Grant element go so far as to organize against him in case he is nominated ?" "It is too early to speak definitely on this point. There is undoubtedly an opinion ripening which may result in some action like that of the Lib erty party in '44. N- such strenuous opposition to the nomination of a Presidential candidate as is now man ifested towards Gen. Grant was ever shown, so far as I remember, before a nominating convention." "Is this opposition more widespread and positive than was shown in 1875, when so many Republican State con ventions pronounced against a third term ?" "I think it is, and it is evidently increasing in volume and power from week to week." "What would be the effect of the nomination of a second Republican candidate representing the opposition to Grantism ?" "It would tend, as said before, to disorganize the Republican party, which is not strong enough to stand such a strain." "Looking back over the political history of the country, was a candi date for President ever nominated in the face of an opposition embracing a majority of the party ?' "Never, and when a considerable minority has shown a decided objec tion to a candidate, motives of ex pediency have always prevailed, and he has been dropped for the sake of harmony ?"

A Convention of the Democratic party of South Carolina will assemble at Columbia on Tuesday, the 1st of June proximo, at 12 o'clock M., in~ the Hall of the House of Representatives, to nominate candidates for State o.i cers, to nominate Electors for Presi dent and Vice-President, to elect dele gates to represent the party in the National Democratic Convention which convenes at Cincinnati on the 22nd of June, and to transact such other busi ness as the Convention may deem proper. The National Committee has requested State Conventions to instruct their delegates as to the question of the repeal of the two-thirds rule now in forcein National Conventions. Each County is entitled by the constitution of the party to as many delegates as it has representatives in both branches of the General Assembly. The ex ecutive com.mittees of the counties are charged with the duty of calling their county conventions to elect delegates. By order of the Committee. J. D. KENNEDY, Chairman. JON E. BACON, Secretary. The Physical Paradox. It has been said that "the blood is the source of life." It is as truly the source of disease and death. No life, that is to say, no healthy tissue can be generated from impure blood, no organ of the body can normally perform its functions when supplied with impure blood. The fluid that should carry life and health to every part, carries only weakness and dis ease. Blood is the source of life, only when it is pure. If it has become diseased, it must be cleansed by proper meditation, else every pulsa tion of the human heart sends a wave of disease through the system. To cleanse the blood of all impurities, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medicaal Dis covery and Pleasant Purgative Pel lets, the most effectual alterative tonic, and cathartic remedies yet discovered. They are especially effcient in scro fulos diseases. One of the largest banquets this country ever saw took place at Music Hall, Cincinnati, Thursday evening 18th, in honor of the completion of the Southern Railroad. The con trators for the banquet, who got 15,000 for the feed, advertised for four hundred waiters for the occasion. To give an idea of the spread, the Cin innati Enquirer furnishes the fol lowing figures: There were 9,000 pieces of glassware used, 9,000 dinner and dessert plates, 2,000 soup plates, 2,000 ice cream plates, 84 salad bowls, 300 compots for table ornaments, and 4,000 knives, forks and spoons. The amount of solids and liquids devoured upon this occasion was simply enor mous. For instance, there is the item of 10,800 oysters on the half shell, to say notning of the beef and other meats. To wash this down it required 3,520 bottles of wine-three casks of sherry, sixty cases of Sauterne, seventy-five eases of St. Julien and one hundred and twenty-five cases of champagne. A Good Housewife.

By Telegraph to the News and Courier. WAshmGTON, March 16.-Sena tor Edmunds introduced a bill to fix a day for the meeting of the Electors of President and Vice-President, and to provide for and regulate the count ing of the votes for President and Vioe-President and the decision of quvetions arising thereon. In doing so, he said : "For more than a year now there has existed a large select committee of this body -harged with the duty of considering this and other cognate subjects. So far as I know that committee has had no meeting, and I have waited, being in the minority in the body, in the hope that some gentleman in the ma jority would move in what I consider to be this important business, but a. no movement has been made I feel it my duty to ask consent to introduce this bill, and that it be referred to that committee." In explaining the bill to regulatE the counting of the votes for Presi dent and Vice-President introduced in the Senate by Senator Edmunds to day, the latter said : "The bill that passed the Senate at the last session of the last Congress on this subject embraced various provisions as to the time of holding the Presidential elee tion for Electors in the States, and various provisions better regulating the law in esses of a vacancy in both the offies of President and Vice-Pres i .t and so on. A provision also looked to future legislation by the States in respect to providing means of detetmining controversies in those States respecting the choice of Elec tors. Time has so run that of course any provision of that kind that would apply to the next election would be entirely useless. In consequence of that I hae taken that bill and modi. fied it -to a simple proposition of pro viding that the meeting of Electors shall be on the second Monday of January instead of the second Wed nesday in December. I have also modified it so as to give time for such States as have any existing laws ade quate to the purpose to determine for themselves and according to the Con stitation, which I believe they have the sole right to do, who their Elec toes are. This bill, therefore, makes a. siaple provision for a State's dis position of any controversy under such laws as it may have in existence prior to the date of choosing electors. ltprovides for a later meeting of elee trs in order that each State may dis pore of any controversy that may anise, and then provides, ai the bill of the last session did, for the meeting of the two houses and proceeding in conformity with the decisions reached in the respective States in any case of The bill provides that the Electors of each State shall meet on the second Monday in January after their ap pointment. -That previous to such meeting each State may deterwine aay controversy arising in connection with such Electors, and that such de termination shall establish the lawful title of the Electors, and shall govern in counting the electoral vote. Both Houses of Congress shall meet in joint .ession on the second Wednescay in February to count the electoral votes. Objections to the counting of votes shall be made in writing and be sub mitted to each House separately. If more than one return from any State shall have been received only the votes given by the Electors appointed in conformity with this bill shall be counted, and the two Houses acting separately shall coneurrently decide which return is supported by the .pioper State tribunaL. No electoral vete from any State from which only one return has been received shall be rejected except by the affirmative votes of both Houses. In eases where there is more than one return from a State not supported by the decision of a State tri8fanaI, those votes only shall be counted which the two Houses, act ing separately, shall concurrently de eide to be the lawful votes of the legally appointed Electors of such State. The joint meeting of the two Houses shall not dissolve until the count is completed. The bill was referred to the select eommittee on the Presidential elec tion. A Strange Thing. We have often read about stvange occurences that seemed almost incred ible; but the following fact fully verifies the trite saying, truth is strange.r than fiction. One day last week, Mr. John Patrick, of White Oak, was having some blasting done in his well, which was of a depth of sixty feet. On desending the well after one of the blasts had been dis charged, it was found that an iron wedge had been blown out of the solid rock in which it had been em beded. It was picked out from the debris and fragments of rock lying in the bottom of the well, and now in the possession of Mr. Patrick, still having portions of the rock adhering to it. How it came tobe inthe rock at a depth of sixty feet, we will not pretend to say; but there are wit nesses of unimpeachable veracity who will testify to the truth of the fact. The wedge is valuable as a work of art, that evinces the skill of the prim eval blacksmitha of this country, and as a relic of a high state of civiliza tion that has been swept away. Mr. Patrick thinks of sending the wedge to the Smithsonian Institute. [ Winnaboro' 1Bews and Blerald,17th.

A reporter of the New York Herald, just before the adjournment of the late extra session of our Legislature, interviewed the mem bers to ascertain their choice of a Presidential candidate. Out of the 158 members of the Senate and House he talked with 132 Demo cratic members, and he sums up his estimate of the relative strength of the candidates as follows: First Second Choice. Choice. Bayard.............78 21 Tilden............12 5 Seymour..............11 55 Field..............10 8 Hancock ........... 6 15 Thurman ........... 5 11 McClellan......... 4 5 Hendricks ......... 3 22 Ewing ............ 2 2 Eaton........... .. 1 1 He gives the views of several in dividual members. G. Lamb Buist, of Charleston, thinks it unwise to express a preference at this time. C. H. Simonton, of Charleston, pre fers Bayard ; second choice, Field. Jno. C. Haskell, of Richland, is a strong advocate for Bayard. R. R. Hem,hill, of Abbeville, wants Han. cock. B. H. Rutledge and James Simnons, of Charleston, say that the expression of individual preferences at this time is premature and un wise. John D. Kennedy, of Ker shaw, entertains the same views as Messrs. Buist, Rut]edge and Si mons. Jno. C. Sheppard, of Edge field, declined to express himself. M. W. Gary, of Edgefield, favors Ewing. George Johnstone, of New berry, favors Bayard ; his views are thus given by the reporter : Mr. George Johnstone, one of the rising young statesm~en who is pro. minently spoken of by the Demo crats as their prospective represent ative in~ Congress from the Third District, is one of the most pro nounced Bayard men I have met. He says that Mr. Bayard is marked otby his high character and fixed reference to first principles in gov enent and his fearlessness ini the discharge of duty as the man for the Presidency ; that he is more likely to touch the great heart of the people, and to arouse that en thusiasm without which it is impos sible to achieve success in a cami paign such as we are likely to have than any other. man mentioned. His views on financial questions es pecially recommend him. In thme event of the renomination of the ex President these considerations would enable him to carry that por tion of the Republican party that would fail to support their own nominee. His second choice would be between Judge Field and Gen. Hancock. Circumstances between now and the time of the meeting of the Convention would determine the choice. As to the nine Republican mem bers, their choice is thus indicated: First Second Choice. Choice. Grant.............5 2 Blane............3 3 Conkling..........0 1 Sherman...........0 1 The Academy of Music at Green ville, one of the finest buildings in the State, was burned the night of the 7th December. Mayor Townes secured the services of one of Pink erton's detectives, who after three months' investigation "bagged" four negroes, who are now in jail charged with setting fire to the building. Two of them confessed. They im plicate a fifth, who has not yet been caght. The evidence on the pre lminarv examination seemed to be conclusive against them; and they will probably 'swing for it." A number of (lelegates went from Charleston and Columbia to Cin cinnati to attend the celebration of the completion of the Cincinnati Southern Rail Road as far as Chat tanooga. A meeting was held in Cincinnati the 17th to decide upon the Southern terminus of the road, the question being between Augus ta and Port Royal and Charleston. Squelching Kearney. Dennis Kearney, the San Fran frc cisco communist and agitator, seems N. to have reached the end of his tether. A few months ago he was, in the language of Fitzhugh, "a na bigger man than old Grant"; made of speeches to thousands of "working men" in New York and other cities, and threatened to turn the whole country upside down. He has since been a great man in his own city, fir by playing upon the passions and prejudices of the ignorant classes. He assisted very tnaterially in foist ing upon San Fran(;isco Mayor Kallock and a host of other corrupt de and incompetc t offiers. Continu ing his agitation of the labor ques- th tion he threatened to disorganize and ruin the business of the city. He harangued nightly in incendiary language to the "hoodlums" and vagabonds of the "Sand Lots", and 1 worked them up to such a pitch as of to endanger the property and busi ness of the better classes. In self- e protection they organized a "Pro- to tective Union" and instituted stern D measures to put down rowdyism to and disorder. One of their first fr acts was to indict Kearney for using tt incendiary language in his public of speeches. He was tried for the of- m fense, found guilty, and was sen tenced the 16th to six months im prisonment and $1,000 fine. e "Third Term Opposition." We print all sorts of opinions a from all sorts of people ; and that b is why we copy what purports to d be an interview with George Wil- d liam Curtis, in which he says that Grant's nomination would probably h result in defeat to the Republican party. Mr. Curtis is a prominent Republican, and dislikes Grant. Mr. Curtis and others who ex press themselves as he does are no doubt sincere ; but our opinion is, r and has all along been, that Grant would make a better run than any other Republican candidate. As to the "third term opposition", that is only a little family feud among the Republicans, that will be complete ly healed by the nomination. The G. &C.R. R1.t The time is drawing near for the sale of the Greenville & Columbiat Rail Road-the 15th of April. Our merchants and business men gene rally feel a deep interest in the mat-a ter.
