THE REPUBLICAN STAlE CONVENTION. M e lake 'he following from the reported proceedings of the Republican Stale Convention held in Columbia on the 13th and 14th insl. It shows the weakness of the party and its willingness to amalgamate with auy other party organised to defeni the present white government of Soulli Cnrolinn, urid proposes to make Col. Cash their leader to carry the State by the shot-gun system. On the first day the following resolution was adopted: A'moW Tlinf It.;, r> ?? ? > ?? ? v ...... .uia vviltVIUIUII CUUUI 3C IIIC nominees of the Stnte ticket of tbc Independent Greenback Labor lleform party. A substitute was offered : That a committee of seven be appointed on the part of this Convention to confer with a similar committee on the part of the Independent party of the State on the nominations which they have made and other matters which may come up." That accords with the suggestion of the White letter. Smails said : The Greenback ticket had been spoken of as very weak, but it was as strong as could be expected from such poor material. It was certain tlint we could not elect a single man on a State ticket, and, iu the name of Uod, let us take the Greenback ticket and help them to elect it. A delegate from York said, he "was unwilling, however, to take tl?3m upon their empty promise to do better for us than the Democrats. We had been caught with that sort of chaff before, and now wo must have some substantial aasurnnce that they will slinre the County offices and Legislature with us in consideration for our support of their State ticket. Miller of lleaufort, charged that the revenue depaitment was running the Convention; that brayton had imparted men Irotn other Slates nnd appointed them to office, to the exclusion of good men, white nnd black, only thut he might pack the Convention with them and outvote nuncai nt-juiuncans. 1 ne party na-i neon brought to ruin by mismanagement in 187ti. lint lor these disscntions in Colleton in '70, llnmptoii ntid his damnable horde tvould never have ruled South Carolina. Drayton said it would not do to scrutinize too closely the methods by which the delegates had been returned, or it might be found that but few would remain. Some member asked him how it was with himself ? He replied: "Well, he lwid betm outlawed, but he paid his polj tax in Aiken and had his washing done in Columbia."' A sable representative said that the Democrats had br ught the Republicans to such nn unliap] y condition by their election and stock laws and laws against stealing that it was better to be in hell tlinn utidei Democratic auspices. There were two reports from the committee on credentials?majority and minority?and it appeared that the majority wanted to sent Messrs. C. M. Wilder of Richland and Warren R. Marshall of Fairfield, (?) as delegates from Union, although neither of the gentlemen had ever lived in Union and knew nothing of the constituents they weie called on to represent. A Mr. Cummins had come to Columbia from Newberry on a visit, and being a good man to vote, he had been assigned to represent Pickens, which, as a member said, knew no more about Cummins than Cummins did about Pickens ? The sr.me good office was performed for Anderson, which had not sent a suitable delegate, nnd n gentleman from the levenuc department was temporarily assigned to duty for the Republican moonshiners. The sentiment of the Convention was well ex pressed by the last speaker, who said : "We have got to do something to save the party, and if we can't help ourselves one way l.t us do it in another." Second Day The committee appointed yesterday to confer with the Greenback Committee as to the terms tick-et, reported tnat tney nau neiu a come fence and recommended llint the Convention endorse the Slate ticket of the Greenback party, ami that the committee of that party gave them assurance that they would secure a free ballot and a fair count. The proposition provoked a long and hitter discussion, and (lie following substitute by Congressman Mnckey was adopted: lltsolved, That the Convention of the Union Republican party of South Carolina, while repudiating the financial principles advocated by the Greenback party and reallirming the principles of the Union Republican party, do recommend that at the next geneinl election the Rep iblicau voters of the State, in the interest of a free ballot and a fair count, cast their ballots as Reputlicans for the State ticket nominated l>y the Greenback babor Convention on the 5thinstant. The discussion which ensued disclosed a very great disposition on t lie part of the colored members lo lake the dese prepared for tliem by Mackcy and the revenue incn. Mnckey said the proposition did not ask the adoption of the Greenback platform, but simply that the Convention should endorse their State ticket. There was but one alternative : we have got to run a straightout Republican ticket, which 110 man who had an ounce of sense believed we ePe'&WonaoVVllieur ?icite t! "Yiio* Sreenbuckers, it was true, would go no further than promise a free ballot and a fair count, and we would have to trust them for the fulfillment of that promise. Miller said th it the great advantage he expected from the endorsement of the Greenback ticket was that it would teach th? present rulers of South Carolina the lesson that they can be split up and divided, and having done this in this election he had no doubt that by 188-1 the Republican party would he strong enough to stand alone, and then it would nbsorb the Greenbackers and other factions and be acknowledged by them as the grand ruling power which was henceforth to sway the destinies of the people of this State. The delegate from Sumter thought the committee hud not done its work as they should have done. Everything should be stated that the Greenbackers intended to do. They are as dependent on us, as we are upon them. They know that they cannot carry the Stale ticket without us, and it would be asking no more tliau what was fair if we supported them that we should have a part of the offices. The Greenbackers were but a part and pnrcel of the Bourbon Democracy, and who knows that after the election is over, having used us to secure it, they will turn us out in the cold and forget all these promises to us. The Greenback platform was called for and submitted, but the managers of the coalition would permit it to be read. The talk, which had consumed three hours, was on the naked proposition of thb Committee of Conference to endorse the (ireenbajk ticket. The discussion showed that the temper of tlie Convention rebelled against a transfer of the party to the Greenbnckers without other consideration than a free ballot and n fair count. Tuft took occnsion to get in a word on Congressional subjects, and to give T. J. Mnckey a Kick where it would do most good, lie was in favor ofColonel Caah because he wns a man who if neel be would tnke his shot gun nnd go to the pollsand see to it that every llepublicnn vote was east without hindrance and counted without Drayton fjrew happy andshouted as he realized that hi* parly had reached the period in their history, which they lind looked for during six long, weary years, when they should have allies in their fight against the Democrats, who had driven tliein into this position. Mackey ssubstilute was finaly adopted without dissent. This ended the secret session of the Convention, and, at 1 P. M., the doors were thrown open, Tom Miller nominated K. W. M. Mackey for C'hait man of the Kzeculive Committee, which is recognized as "the party," directingnnd controlling as it does all the machinery hy which the voters are marshnled tod? the will of the Committee. Purvis nominated Drayton. A torrent of denunciation was poured out hy each of these doughty henchmen upon the candidate championed hy his adversary, and after |hcy had worked themselves and Ihe Convention ?i / up to a fever of excitement the vote ?u reached, I and resulted iuGO foi Mackey and 07 for limy ton, as announced oy the tellers. Lee announced (hat a majority of the Convention had not voted, whereupon a scene of wild w excitement ensued which beggars description s' Miller and Wrngg rushed to the reporters' desk, q shaking their fists in tho President's face and (( demanding if the damned scoundrel was going ; again to rob thcin of their votes. Lie, mean- j ^ while safo from the reach of his infuriated assail- | tl ants, hammered on tlie desk ntid asked to be f, heard in explannt,on, and said that he intended to say that a majority of the whole vole had not ' been cast for either member, but a plurality a was only necessary. He then declared Maekey elected. ? Miller said he lied, that lie fully intended to have another vote, in the hope of rallying a sufficient vote to elect his favorite, Brnyton. ^ Brayton moved that the vote be made unani- n mous, and the belligerents met and exchanged c c. urteries as though nothing had ever disturbed the harmony of their relations. A resolution was adopted that the Convention 11 recommend Colonel E. B- C. Cash. Independent it candidate for Congress in the Fifth District. in u hkv r nrmcrts siiouiu rcnu I lie ex peri ments o i a fellow-farmer on fertilizers on corn nnd wheat. ' on our first page. 0?~ Mr. C.

Ey rending (lie extracts we publish from the roceedings of the Undicnl State Convention it ill be seen tha'. the members of that body wallowed the mixture prepared for them by the reeubackers and hereafter the two parties i^ro > work in harmony, under the lash of E. Vt. Mi lackey and the shot gun of E B. C. Cash, for le purpose of wresting the State govcrnjo^t rom the hands of the honest white peoptejJfcd lacing it again in the hands of the negros and few corrupt office seeking while men. The mixture is now complete, and whatever f white there was in the insignitlcant number f Greenhnckers in the State is now obliterated y the infusion of the darker element. We care ot v.hich party went into the other, the disolorntion of the whole is the same.

On Pacolet, hickety, Tyger nnd portions of Fair forest riv" s a very largo part of the corn was destroyed' ir many years. Along the creeps but Jiltle >rn was lost. Tlie upland corn crop is remarkbly fine nnd the storm did but little damage to . One gentlemen in Pinckney township excels to gnthet G.000 bushels, and says ho will ot lose 50 bushels by the storm. In the Pacod section of the County the corn, in most pla* js, was under water two and three days and is ntirely lost. It is estimated that the cotton was damaged rom 10 to 15 per cent, throughout the County, he wind injured it more than the rain. From what we enn now learn the injury to lie crops in this County is from $75,000 to 1100,000. . - ? ? reatment of Diphtheria.

Bribery Commeaoed. In the last day's proceedings of the Radical St me Convention we Wad the following, which is so characteristic of the practices of Radical leaders. If the leaders of that parly commence brib- " lug the colored people to secure their votes in ^ conventions, for offices to which there are no ? emoluments attached, what tnay wo not expect ^ if that parly ahould again get control dt th* " Stale government and linre the disbursing of the ^ people's money? And what do the colored people a of Union think of ihfc conduct of their reprcsen- rl tatives, Q. E. Tucker nnd Wudo Hampton ? It is openly charged that Uraytou's defeat yesterday for chairman of the executivecommittee, bi was secured by a liberal uso of money, and that Mnckey bought A. J. Titus nnd Alfred Rutlerof . the Abbeville delegation for sixty dollars nnd I ho uarnwell delegation for one hundred dollars, ami thai Tucker nnd IVnde Hampton of Union, tl and Lnkin and Uyrd of FAirfield, were also seduced by Meckel's use of money.

Such a place, centrally located, in the hands of a good caterer, could not fail, 1 think, to become in & short time a paying institution.
