TH* CONVENTION. Wrhold 1st. That th? Convention should a .omble at tba time fixed-tba 16th inst. 2od. That it i* inexpedient and unwise t? pat forward a State Ticket at that timo. The.' Convention, should assemble because it ts,important tbat the masses of tbe State, irrespective ol party or oolor, wbo are opposed to the present role of cori upt ion and ruin, should ipeak out, and eau only speak; unitedly ind effectively through such a medium. Because the power aod. impetus of j Radicalism, aod its grasp upon the masses of thc colored people, oao only he chocked aod paralysed by a olear aod decided declaration of tho position of Lha great majority ; of the intelligent people of the State-a position which tcoords full and just equality, oivil and political, as established undor the Fifteenth Amendment, and which guarantees to the colored man his fall iharo of office, competency alone being the test of fitness. Because organiza? tion is always necessary to the suooess af any movement of the people, and movement in mass is now peculiarly tod essentially necessary to arouse the masses. Why it is impolitic to put forward a State T>cket at this time, many reasons ire apparent, all of which, no doubt, frill be maturely considered by the wise tod discreet men of the Convention, and toted upon accordingly. Our object now is, mainly, to put our people in possession of the fact that -his Convention will assemble, that up to this writing all but six counties have aken steps to secure representation, ind to urge the importance of the meet ng called on another column, for M on? lay next, to choose representatives for Sumter County. A HEAVY BLOW, The Charleston Courier of the 30th itt., contains a letter from 3. Odell Juneau, U. S. Consul at Naples, and rritten from Naples under date of April !3, to a prominent Republican of charleston, which deals South Carolina ladicalrsm a heavy blow. It will be emorabercd that Mr. Duuoan was imminently connected with the fornia ion of the party in this State, after? wards receiving the appointment to topics. He speaks boldly of thc orruptiona of our State Government, nd of tho pressing necessity which xists for reform. He says : "the general character of our Legislature end of 1 the legislation io Columbia during the ' winter has certainly not been such as to inspire me with confidence in the ' wisdom, patriotism, or even ordinary honesty of those at present controlling the State Government and the 'Rndi c&l' party in South Carolina. Their action has been such that I do not seo what reason any class of our peo? ple can-have for sustaining them." Again he says : "No ono eau regret 1 more sincerely than 1 do that the Re? publican party cud the State Govern? ment havo fallen into such hands as they have. No one can regret more than I do tho frequent violations of law by our Executive officers while pre tending to d?tend thc law. No one could be moro shocked than I was ut hearing of our chief magistrate pub'' Hely proclaiming Winchester rifles thc best law for a great commonwealth. And noone would more heartily unite with any honest effort to secure both our party and our State Government from the olutohes of those who now control them." This is plain talk. 'ho letter is, throughout, a remarkable ne, os going to show the disrupted and liackling condition of Radicalism in dis State, and hence tho expediency and raoticability of tho Reform movement ow going on, and will be published by s, entire, next week. A thorough and active co-operation f our poople at this time, and in the Dining canvass, wo huvo but little oubt, would result in a very decided modification and lessoning of the evils nder which we now struggle for very xislenoe. Wo do not hesitato to say hat apathy, under such circumstances, i greatly to bo deplored, aod we oall pon our peoplo to shako off t heir ithargy, and join with interest and cal in tho great movement now on foot D wrest the Stato Government from tho namelessly corrupt hands iuto which it as fallen.

Bishop EARLY alone was absent from the oirole and college of Bishops who gathered around their brother beloved, us they invested him with the distinguished ecclesiastical honors and high and solemn funotioosofa Methodist Bishop. Bishop ANDREW, infirm with ago, aod tottering under the weight of lu? years, but with love and zeal for the cause of his master still burning as brightly as ever on the altar of his heart, was there, to participate in and witness, doubtless, such a aervico for the last time. PBBSBVTBJDtlAN OK N Jill At, ASSEM? BLY. The next Annual Conference will take puce at. Huntsville, Ala. An enthusiastic foreign Missionary meeting was held aod addressed by the Rev. J. SJ. Wilson, of South Carolina, Rev. Allen Wright, of tho Choctaw Na? tion, and thc Rev. B. M. Palmer, of New Oilcans. The subject of the most intense inter? est on Thursday, 26th ult., was the re? ception of the delegates from Northern Presbyterian churches, consisting of the Rev. Dr. Backus, of Baltimore'; Rev. Dr. Van Dyke, of Brooklyn, and the Hon. W. E. Dodge, of New York. They presented resolutions of that Assembly expressing fraternal regard, and follow? ed them with remarks, in which it wns stated that they came not to ask for re? union, nor to ask for immediate corres? pondence, but to ask thc appointment of a committee to meet a similar com? mittco appointed by the Northern As? sembly, and to oonfer respecting varied matters and questions of jurisdiction and property rights between tho two assem? blies, and to secure, if possible, the adjustment of all differences between tho two bodies on a basis just and honorable to all, and worthy of Christian mon. While they wero speaking, there was breathless interest aud deep emotion, forming a scene that will not soon bo forgotten. The kind words of the speakers evidently found a lodgment in the hearts of those to whom they were addressed. Tho overtures were referred to the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, which was directed to prepare a well considered*reply. TH IS ATTITUDE OF THIS SOUTH. We were recently permitted to mingle with leading men from every portion of the South, or, rather, from all tho Southern States, and thus to bo able to arrivo at a very satlsfuotory con? clusion iu regard to thc attitude of the South at the present time. Wo were Btruck with the singular unanimity ot opioiou expressed in regard to the course to bo pursued under the Fif? teenth Amendment, to wit : that the equal civil and political rights of the colored man, under the law, was an ac? complished fact, and that it was both tho part of wisdom and interest for tho Southern people to realizo that fuot and act in accordance therewith.

MR EDITOR :-Tho occasion of the decoration of the graves of our confed? erate soldiers was highly creditable to all concerned. It beautifully demon? strated the gratitude, affection, and pa? triotism of our people. There are a few suggestions, however, which we desire to make io this connection. 1. Would it not be better to observe the 10th of May, which js tho day cel? ebrated throughout tho South, rather than any day previous or subsequent ? There may, however, be botter reasons than we fancy for the choice of the 21st instant instead of the 19th. 2. Would it not be well for citizens who have vehicles generously to offer them on such an occasion. It is true there is a test and proof, of patriotism, when our ladies plod through the dtep sand of an unshady publio road all that distance, carrying their floral offerings to the graves of the loved di ad, when the thermometer stands at ninety de grces in the shade, but would it not bc more fitting for conveyances to be pro vi Jed on the part of the Committee of Arrangements, by air appeal to thc generosity of those who have them? 3. Would not some other day bo pre fcrable to Saturday ? There are two im? perative reasons why Saturday should not bo the day chosen. We have a large community of Israelites among us, who regard the mouldering dust of our fallen heroes with equal veneration, aud ?ho would delight to unite with us in thc mournful duty of paying homage to their memory, who are furred by religi? ous scruples, the day being their sabbath We know the heart of our people too well to suppose that they would design cdly como io contact with thc religious scruples of any one. lt was altogether a matter of thoughtlessness, and certain ly will never occur again. Another reason is, that Saturday is the business day of the week, and our merchants, me dinnies and professional men aro moro engaged on that day than any other day of tho week, und thus most of the gentlemen were prevented from attend? ing, which accounts for the small propor tion of gentlemen, in contrast with tue largo attendance of ladies. OBSERVER. [Frum tho Now York World.] THU POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN NEW YORK. We are not disposed to go into frothy exudation over the victory won by tho New York Domoeruoy un Tuesday. Tho majority is indeed lurge ; but that is quito us much owing to the apathy of the Republicans ns to the zeal of tho Democrats. If the Republican vote had been fully polled, wc should still havo Httococded, but our triumph would not have been so signal ; and if, in any fu? turo election, the Republicans should be aroused nut of their indifference, it might cost us a struggle to hold our ground. Perhaps it may not be un? profitable to revtow the oausos of our easy sucoess. If they are dearly un? derstood, the party will not bo tempted to dsviato from s line ot policy which has been ?ttendod with so favorable a result, And the le?*on may deserve the attention of the Democracy of other States.
