Letter of Coloiel Sas. U. fion, Our readers will doubtless read with interest the letter of Col. Rion, which we print to-day. It makes more than one striking point. But while Colonel Rion tells us to vote for independent candidates, when they of for themselves, from the lepublican party, we go a step further, and urge all candidates for the Legislature to run as bona fide Republicans who will vote for a Republican U. S. Senator, and electioncer curnesty for the votes of the suifragans. Col. Rion would have Demoerats vote for respectable le. publicans. Wo would have respeota. ble citizens join the Republicans, t< furnish Colonel Ilion and his part) with candidates for whom to vote The two positions will support caol other admirably. The Democrati say, they wish respectable Republicat cindidates for which to vote; and th< Conservative Republicans to whom w< profess to belong, say, let respeotable men join the Republicans in respeota blo numbers, and so furnish the Can, didntes needed by the Democrats. Can our readers now understand why we have never been over-zealoui in the matter of the June Conven. tion I We are not a Democrat, and we do not believe in the success of the party, except when voting for Consur vativo Republicans ; and that seems according to our feeble conception to be a sort ofsuecess of Conservativ( Republicans. At any rate, we ar< willing to give the Demoerat. th< glbury, provided Conservative Rlepubli cans get the offices and the politica inluence. 1874 is the yere in whiel our programme will begin to worl successfully. At present, polities ii at a discount. Thme Lesmsoi Taught by Igno. The contrast so forcibly drawn be, tween knowledge and charity, thougi it has often been the topic of our re flection before, never struck our atten tion so forcibly, as upon last Sundaj night, when reading the familiar pas sage. "Charity niever faileth, &c". It is well knowna how great a source o sorrow and suffering to poor miortali is the weakness of their memory ani the feebleness of their mental grasp their ineapalcity, in short, to acquire event with great labor, a limuite( knowledge of truth. Morover, feeble as our faculties9 are, eranmped and con. fined by essential limitations, we feel grief and sorrow, that, still furthei than t his, we (do not acquire the knowledge that we know they are ca. pable of, and that our feeble capaci. ties are infinitely beyond our actual attainments. Wer are p)Irooundly ig, norant, and groan for deliverance, and oach of us ini our hearts, utters the prayer of A jax, struggling in mortal conflict, and smitten with blindness for light ; for light, that he might see his enemies clearly, in order to de stroy them. That passage of Ilomou han often beeni admired in itself, but it is when its passionate and tearful utterance is raised from a literal late a fiuatv sense, and when the pray. de tof Aix is reflected on as heartfelt race thaty Iti.ember of the human rane, that moth ofsiablimity appears. no grander petition ould arri, or, it reflcts the universal wish of tbA entire race of mian. WVhy,now, this universal sense o1 ignorence and desire for knowledge 1 And why this impossibility to know, and this incapacity to acquire truth 1 For what purpiose does a benevolent iDoity permit it 1 Is it simply to lead us to expet a futuro state, in which "that which is in part shall be done away," and i: which "we bhall know even as we are known 1" At first glance, this seems a auf Ifiern explanation ; but yet it nev er has satisfied ourselves, and. we doubt If it ever has sati~fid any otjer perplexed and sorrowing child 9? duat atyd iguprance., Perhaps, t bon, it may be to suggest to, Ut', by way of sontreet, thuo- lesson that ''ena frrr never failoth,' and that thie knowledge we desire and oannot at tain is as nothing in oempetI.An with that love which we do not- one t'inth s o usuch seek after and so'liidpnali t t bt th6-xere of a to'nded to onistituto, the happriess or human existence, now and forever. Few, very few, in any spbiere of thought or department of life, can know, and those who know,know only in part ; but all, without exoeption, can love. Wh'y, then ,'o. titt of i perfectknoiwledge? Wby so careless of growth in love I Winnsboro was enlivened-last week by the parado of two companies of Negro Militia recently organized. They seemed to enjoy It as much as a set of young boys, and to this inno. cunt pleasure we and all other sober people, we suppose, have no manner of objection. "The rigbt of the citi. zen to bear arms" is a constitutional right, an sacred as "the right to vote," and nobody now objects to It. We, a year ago, expressed our conviction, too, that no conflict of the races would come of its exercise in the organiza tion of the militia, and that the whites, if they preferred not to go in. to the militia organization, would simply pay the fines. We reiterate that opinion to-day. But we, at the same time, advise the whites to or. ganiso companies, and obtain field ap pointments. A mixed militia it hat now become as evident to us we are going to have, as it is evident to everybody elsc that a mixed Legisla ture we both have already and are go ing to have. Organize at once, there. fore, and have as good a militia or, ganization as possible. It is one of those things that will bring the race pleasantly together, unless malicion mischiof-makors prevent, and which will promote political harmony in fu. ture elections. [coMMUNIOATaD.] A Card. For Sandy Ford, et alia: As the impression seems to have obtained currency, that the Conserva. tive Party would like to run "an hon. Pst man," (which being very hard tc find in the Republican ranks,) I de. Clare myself an aspirant for any office in the gift of the people, tuhile, bliac or mdatto, and distinctly state, nb a part of my political creed, that I will promise beforehand, that if T can se Cure the confidence and patronage of the whole community, that I am will. ing to run on any ticket that will se, cure my elotion, with #t-h dstinoi underustanding, that I will not steal more of the public money than will pay my grog and board for the firsi saaion;- and whon approached on th matter of bril'e y or corruption I pledge u.y. ito drink the overplus, over a fair estimate of my current expenses, in riding up and down on the CharlottA Railroad, looking after the sale of lands for the benefit of my fellow Africans, or improving my real estate as my illustrious predeces. sors have done before me : and I will invite all the members of the "Demo. eratie," "Conserva tire," "Citizens?" or any oter party, to join in with mue at the Union League, and drink out any balance that may remain. Thank. ful for past favors. Yours most sincerely, DICK CRAWFORD. Reform Convention. The Convention met in the Colum bia Hotel, last Wednesday, the 15th, at 8 P. M. E.

The vast changes in our syst of Govornment,, wrought by the int national war, between the two secti, of the States, and following in train, are so far incorporated into constitutions and laws of the Sta and of the Ubited States, as to quire that they be regarded aco< plished facts, having the force : obligation of law. 3. This solemn and complete rec nition of the existing laws brings people of South Carolina into an tire harmony upon all questions civil and. political right, and shot unite all honent men to establisl of the Government, in the interest no class of clique, but for: the ben of a united people.

If this . movement does en- not succeed, it will be because it does *y not deserve suocess. What is the ob. jeotion to the Republican administra. in tiop in South Carolina? It is not R.9ptblioan. The Govornor, elected on by negroes, has aeglected the interests >nWs othat' race. When he wants dirty ,he work done, at $16 a month, he em ploys a negrot but when he wants a h- muan to do nothing, at $90 a month, st. he sends to Ohio for a white man to do it. The imported leaders of the m. radicals do not wish us to make niomi ,rt tiobs. They want us to lie supine for while they fill their pockets. The spir it of progress is ldvancing In Europe, ,ee Spain, France, Ruslia and Prussia, ;e. are emancipatiog ail serfdom. If the be Ezeoutive of South Carolina can on prove the charges against him to be untrue, we may withdraw our opposi og tion from him. The murder of Ran -t: dolph was a political trick ; and the ti- fate of Tolbert is a murder by the ive authoritIes of the State. If the Gov. ,ho ernor knew that the Ku-Klut killed >rt Randolph, why did lie not hang them ut, for the crime? Where are the homes apt that the Land Commissioner has pur rn- chased for the poor men of the State t 3of As to what the Convention should do, to- Gen.

Endorses fully the he report of the Commitee on Platfori. a a The movement rises above the level be of party work to the dignity of a of arand reform-a march irrespective kb- of party and of race. It aims to elect a Governor neither of the white man nor of a negro, bit of the whole tt, people. The speaker arraigns the ly.,xeuie of the State for mnal-adnmiu. iustration, and the General Aisembly an- for corrupt legislation. In order to no give point and edge to this nmovemjent, nominations must be made-the move. it. mient must be made personal and the ad, issue met squvarely. ad, Mr. J. BI. Kershaw, at the close of he Coloriel Thombsa' speech, said that he in desired to anhweer a query put by as- some one In the audience on the girat an evening of tle conventIon, and that of was, "why we did not enter upon this an- move sooner." lie could answer that query int sbort order.

The Star has the following, regards ing Ackerman : "It seems pretty cer tain that the more radical Republi cans will make an earnest effort to procure the withdrawal of Mr. Ack erman's nomination to the Attorney. Generalship, or falling in that, to pre vent his confirmation by the Senate. This action grows otit of the parb borne by Mr. Ackerman during the late rebellion, in which It is alleged he voluntarily took an active part for about eighteen months. It appears that the legal and political disabilities imposed upon bit. Ackermati by the 14th Amendment were removed by the Act approved en the 14th of De. cember last, in which his name ap. pears with about 1,000 otherd. The opposition to hlui would seem, there' fore) not to be based upon strictly le gal objections, but rather upon the question of propriety in the President choosing a constitutional adviser irom that class, while plenty 'of men, at least equal In ability and reputation to Mr. Aokernan, and without any taint upon their patriotism, could be had for the place. In the [louse, the morning hour was consumed on pensions. The Speaker laid before the House the credentials of B. F. Whittemore, member elect from South Carolina.

Farns' worth muggeiedl that t.he cas be re ferred to the Committee on Elections. Logagn did not want the case to go to the commIttee. The individual had disgraced himself, and the journail f the House so expressed it ; and it was a quest ion for the House to decide for itself. Farnsworth insisted that it ought to go to the consmittee. Logan said he did not wish t to go to the committee, to be popiketed till after Congress had adjourned ; he wanted the question settled now ; the election was not conteted-o'.ly the question was, whether the House Would admit. him. Farnsworth could not see how the House could act, without a reporbt to go upon *there was* no offielal re cord; true, memnberg remembered the proceedings some weeks ago, but they could not go upon that. Logan, said to refer it was to treat the case with more consideration than i6 deserved ; the House was familiar with all the facts, and it was a mere question whether they would allow him to oc. opy a seat In this Congressu; whether they would stand by whmat their own moral sense, and the sense of the pieo, ple prompted them to do; he' moved the case be postponed to Tuesday next, after morning hour ; agreed to.
