By it will bo nominated five members of tho legislature. Wo hope that the honest peoplo of both political parties will turn out to the precinct meetings. Honest men can there be certain to exercise a powerful influence, for the masses of all parties arc desirous above all to have an sconomieal and good government. More than this, the voters should let the dclegitcs, when elected, know that they will not only watch them with a jealous eye, but tlmt they reserve the right of revision over their political action; and if bad and untrustworthy men are put forward, that they will refuse to ratify such a choice. Above all, if a man has made a record, scrutinize it. We hear of schemes and combinations to return men to positions who have already disgraced them ones. Let no such men be trusted. ????-' -? The Next Legislature. The campaign advances. The republican party hns made its nominations for the office of governor and lieutenant governor. It proceeds to its more import ant work, the nomination of candidates for tho legislature and county offices. We fay its more impor tant work. It maitcra not who is governor or lieutenant-governor of this State, the legislature is the beginning and end of re form. The majority in the legislature has been over two-thirds heretofore, over-riding, neutralizing, laughing tlie executive veto to ecorn. Such a majority, unless composed of the very best and purest men, is fatal to the interests of the S'atc. Wo would like to 8C0 every member of the legislature n ro publican, and every man of them honest and incorruptible And, as the next best thing, we would like to sec a strong minority. Wo do not mean to say that wherever a re publican can be elected in n democratic county because of bis personal character or intrinsic worth jwc would prefer to see a democrat. By no means. Wo want to see every democratic county carried by repub licans if it can be dono honc'ly and right fully. If we have a legislature four-fifths republican, and wc succeed in reform, then the honor will belong to us, and to us alone. The opposition will not bs able to say that/ "it was our minority that sustained the governor, not your corrupt majority." What wo want, and must have, is reform from tho roof to the cellar. Wc cannot have this without a good legislature, and wc mean what wo say. County sln'.C3 mny be manufactured to order, but no ticket in anj county must have a republican candidate upon it whoso record is one that the party cannot afford to carry. J Wo havo been loaded down in the past, and wc ennnot carry such impediments in this campaign. Wc arc marching now un der tho oyos of tho whole American people and wo cannot afford to have the wholo col umn halted, every now and then, while this man and tho other man is picked out of our ranks as an cpaulcttcd scoundrel at largo.

The National Republican on the Bolting Fizzle. THE CLOVEN FOOT VERY PLAIN. . TBE BOLT A DEMOCRATIC FAIL URE. [From tho National Republican, editorial.] Wo have received a letter dated at Colum bia, S. O, and signed by Thomas C. Dunn, "chairman executive committee independent republican party-," whioh informs us that a convention of the "honest republicans of that State will be held at Charleston on th c 2d of October," and further, "that t ho exe cutive committee of tho tax-payers' union promises (the honest republicans aforesaid) their hearty support and co-operation.' This isnotlbc first instance within our know ledge in which designing politieans hnvo donned the livery of their betters for the purpose of serving the devil, nor is it tb o fii'Bt instance wc have known in which the sheep's clothing was too short to cover the tail of the wolf underneath it. If Mr. Dunn had emmitted the remark that Iiis schenio is sustained by the tax-payers' union, he would have been more discreet as a in mager than his letter proves him to be. Thai remark shows the cloven font so plainly that it will serve to put truly honest republicans on their guard, and to confirm the suspicion al ready aroused that the bolters' movement in South Carolina is really a wovomsnt in tho interest of the Democratic ku klux. The truth is that the persons who origina ted, and who nro now supporting it with the aid of tho tax unions, are not entitle I t o recognition as public loadors, or men who nro capable of reflect tug the serious thought of the party. They are, one and all, cither disappointed office seekers, o.* nun who are I willing to sacrifice principle to nmbitiou. Take Congressman Hausier, for instance. No one doubts his republicanism, although his strength as a leader has been weakened by certain indiscretions in tho way of co quetting with the enemies of the truf faith ; but it is known that lie was a candidate in the late convention for the nomination of lieutenant-governor, and, failing to succeed in that, became n candidate for re nomina tion for congress. Being defeated in all bis aspirations, ho so far forgot the allegi ance he owes to a party which has repeated ly honored him as to join its enetnios and give his name to the aid of the bolters' movement, lie is. in fact, a representative man of the combination of men with which he is so unfortunately associated. They are all actuated either by similar motives, or, as wc have intimated are willing to sell them selves to the opposition. For years past there lias been a divisi on in the party after each State convention, led by disappointed aspirants, as this one is being led; but never before has tho nomi nation of any candidate been receive 1 with such general approval as that of Mr. Cham berlain. In Charleston County, for example, with the exception of Mr. Riinstov, tho loa dors of the party are almost a unit in his support, and it is confidently prediclel that be will receive 10,090 majority in that coun ty alone. Judge Green, his probable op ponent, is perhaps entitled to consideration ns a man whose record is pure and spotless, and with the exception of his present atti tude as a sympathizer with the bolters, has proved himself to be a trust-worthy and re Bpcctablo republican. But the fact that he lias declared himself to be in favor of the civil rights bill, will arouse the opposition of the democracy, and thereby strengthen Mr. Chamberlain's chances. It is true that the latter J? u "carpel-bagger"---a fact which renders him liable to ostracism by the so-called gentleman's party?but he will nevertheless be abb? to hold his own with the masses of tho republican party. If he bad gone to Kansas instead of South Caro lina, he would have been free from the stig ma of carpet-bngisth, and would have been recognized as a public-spirited citizen. But as it is, be will receive more support 'from the native element, in a negative {way per haps, than will be accorded to Judge Greene. The Holt in 1872?The Farce of I 1S71. The first was led by Judgo Orr, at the (Special instance of President Grnnt, and had the countenance of United Staats Sena tor Sawyer, United States District Attorney Corbin, United States Collector of tho Cus tomhouse Clarke. It was supported by Sheriff Bowen, Senator Whi'tcmorc, Sena tor Dunn, and several Republican newspa pers?among the whites?and by Whippor, Ilnyno, Roberts, and many other colored men. It was beaten with all their assis tance. [ This time the farce cannot bo called a bolt. Senator Dunn was the only man in /the Republican Convention who declined to participate in the actions of the Convention after the nomination qf Chamberlain. Wo honor him for it, and believe ho w6uld vote" for a good man in preference to going back to Chamberlain. y Thu others who comprise the actors in the farce make the thing ridiculous by un dertaking a job whioh they arc so oonspio ously unfitted for.

Governor Smith suhl: Mutant orators arc firing tho Southern heart witti heroic threats of what they could and would do. Somo oftheso are threaten ing to do now w hat tlioy tailed to do when they hud a chance. These doughty warriors who aro eo keen to fight now, and did so iiillc fight'ng when tho time for fighting was nt hum), remind uio of a sceno I witnessed onoein North Caro'ina. I was stopping at a little road-side inn, kept by a clover old Dutch lady. She lind a little bar attached, and sold liquors. Well, I was sitting in her bar, when there came in a co uplo of men, seemingly much excited, and a great, burly fellow culled tho other Bomo oppro brious name, when ho caught him by the nose, and gave it u good pull, saying, "Re sent it, if you dare, you scoundrel, you !" The other very quietly submitted until his torm.ntor loosed his nose and left the room in ili^ust. After ho had been gone some ten or fifteen minutes, the other began walk ing the room in high dudgeon, twisting his hands and shaking bis lien I with all tho fu ry of a mud bull, and soon he begun to runt with his mouth, und swore that he coidd and would whip the infernal scoundrel for (renting him so. At this the good old lady rose up and cried out in all her womaniy f tuliguation. "Veil, vy d? tn't you fight de mons von he vus here. Yy you get mud now ?" Let nie (ell you my friends, those of you who have smelt blood, there is no fun in lighting. It is u dangerous, a destructive and sad resort. I tell you frankly thai I am not anxious to ever engage in another. There is nothing to he gnitid by it, nothing can be accomplished by force, und no sobe sensible, prudent man, who regards tho in terest of the State and his people, would counsel it. It is all tho dictates of bad whisky?the counsel of General Dad Whisky . We :;u;r-t not 1)0 led into trouble l>y it. We cannot afford to trifle with the destinies of our people. Wo can gain nothing by a resort to arms, and everything by preserv ing law and order. We publish tho above for the benefit of some ? of our "doughty warriors'' who did'nt "fight, blee I and die" in the bite unpleasantness?but who bus "lots" of blood (o (died now. /*> Taxpayers Convention. No doubt this body would have willingly supported Judge Green hud he been the choice of the Republican Convent ion. There would thee have been no exciting oampaign, and Judge Green being elected by the whole people would have been un Iramclcd io act in tho interest of tho whole State. The State Tux Union s.iiil this miioh, an \ tM* people would havo acquiesced in Iliclr re presentation. Hut th y never gold they would support Judge Green as the cand' date of a faction of the Republican parly, und undertake a hotly contested campaign to put u Civil Rights, Moses, Hod-hot Jones man in ofliee. If they have to go into a light, I hey will fight un lor their own colors, with a man us much if not more likely to win than this Green-eyed monster. How many Republicans will Green get more than Kershaw ? \\ ill lie get us many"' It is very doubtful. If Judge Green rises now above the party he has been co-operat ing with for six years und isneluate I by pa triotism, let him show it by taking his- place in ranks, rather than undertaking to pull down the Kershaw flag and leading againsl his party an opposition of men who are in no way identified with him. Orr, Toinlin son, Sawyer and Corbiu, backed by Grant in IST'J, undertook this folly, and the same clique of Charleston counseled no interfer ence by running a third man, but the peo ple would have none of the unclean thing, and spewed it out of their mouths when rumiicd down their throats by these obi leaders. When we see Moses, [ted-hot Jones, the Representative Journal und o her Radicals of a lesser light bucking up against Graut und trying lite same gimo which Orr and his men tried, ihoy turn the e* imalu of the dead into a farce. Some want to be bought off?pevhaps have already made the bargain?and others, like Green, led by an over vaulting ambition, nro blinded by per sonal interest. Docs any one doubt, that Judge Green would not like to bo in Mr. Chamberlain's | luce, and have the reg ular nomination of tho Radical party ? Could any man have sacrificed his personal feelings as much as he did ill his dcuiagogu ism concerning the Civil Rights Rill, with r.ut being willing to take any other party test which might he applied to him ? Shoo fly !?Charleston Sun. /*^YWh? liCatls the Boll? Among tho colored men I here are John son, the Senator from Sumtcr, and Red-hot Jones, of Georgetown. Thcso men have been Senator* or members of the House since Reconstruction. They have always Stood side by side with Frank M?sts, and if there was anything wrong going on, they had their lull share. Are the honest col- | orcd men going lo follow their lead? It is a source of great surprise to find them out side of the regular camp 10-dny, and it may be they arc negotiating for a hid to buy them buck, or it. may bo that, as Chamber lain is trying to play the role ot reformer, these men arc loo notorious to be lifted on his already overloaded shoulders. We do Mr. Chamberlain tho justice to say that wo think the latter is tho corrocl position uf tho case.

The Death of Mr. P. ? Mc Kenzie. It is litre that the newspaper, in its daily reports of the accidents and incidents of our community, Iris to chrouiolo a more melancholy tifi'air than the death ofthis promising young man. The deceased wes tho sou of our esteemed fellow citizen, John McKenzie, Esq., formerly mayor of our city, and now one of our most prosperous merchants. Early yesterday morning tho community was shocked by the report, tint voting McKenzie was found lying in tho neighborhood of an oil brick-yard, near the river, with a pistol ball through his brain, and his hand (on a revolver, which was lying across his body. This rumor proved too sully "true, as he had evidently been dead some time, with tho wound through his temple. The body was first discovered by "a little colored hoy, about ? o'clock. It was lying on the side of a bank, about ten feet from the road, a hundred yards from the old Confederate powder factory, about a mile from town. The boy called to a colored man, named Ren Sight ler, who, upon approaching the body, was barked at by the dog belonging to the deceased. 'The dog refused to let him touch the 'body. Even after the jury arrived, tho dog repelled every one until Mr. McKenzie, tho father, came, whom he sprang to meet with evident joy, (duit soon ralurncd to his dead master. The. body was quite sitT when found, and h id evidently been dead some hours. The jury Irought in tho verdict as follows: '-That the decease came to Iiis death from a pistol shot wound through the right temple, evidently inflicted by his own hnml." Much doubt is expressed as to tho correct ness of the verdict of tho jury, many believ ing that the young man was decoyed to the spot and killed, or hud been carried thcro after death. The deceased was twenty-six years of ago. He had served in the Confederate army, and was wounded at (.'hancellorsvillo. Union-Herald.
