k ward and asks for a still higher and more imi portant office. He has had the seal of the ' State in his charge, and now he wants the keys of the Treasury. If he so misapplied the seal, what, in the name of God, may be be expected to do with the keys of the vault where the public moneys are kept ? He spoke also of Cardozo disregarding the express instructions of his county convention in voting for Moses. Cardozo replied, attempting to excuse his conduct ip the nomination of Moses, upon the j ground that it was the best he could do, under the circumstances. He then went into an explanation of the sealing of the bonds, showing the most corrupt and outrageous proceedings on the part of Scott and Parker. He evehad been approached by one member of the Financial Board, and asked if any consideration could induce him to seal the bonds. He \ ordered that man immediately out of his room. He referred here evidently to Parker, though he did not call any name. In the matter of the Land Commission, he made some astounding statements, accusing .Leslie of downright forgery, by which he anticipated the appropriation of $500,000, and used up $250,000 of it. The a propriation was made after Leslie's resignation, and at the time of the appointment of DeLarge. The forgery consisted in Leslie making fraudulent contracts-for land within ? few days after DeLarge's appointment, and ante-dated the titles to the land in February which were not actually purchased, or agreed to be purchased, until March, after DeLarge's appointment. In answer to a question by Swails as to what the contract in relation to the Greenville Railroad Company was, Cardozo replied that it was the contract for the purchase of the charter of the Continental Telegraph Company. Cardozo said that, as soon as h;<? share of the bonds, which he received as a director of the road, was demanded by the South Carolina Railroad Company, he gave them up, like an honest man. After considerable interruption and confusion, a call of the roll was commenced, and the balloting opened. The result was as fol lows?a large number ol delegates changing ! to Cardozo, after it was ascertained that he was elected : Cardozo, 77; Adams, 1; McKinlay, 2; Perry, 3 ; Alexander 3; Noah, 26. The nomination for Comptroller-General being next in order, Mr. Rainey nominated Solomon L. Hoge?who having received eighty-six, a majority of the votes, was declared the nominee of the Convention. Mr. S. J. Lee proposed H. W. Purvis for the office of Adjutant and Inspector General, who was nominated without opposition. Judge Mackey nominated J. K. Jillson for Superintendent of Education; elected unanimously. At 7 o'clock, the Convention took a recess until 8 p. m. Upon reassembling, Congressmen at large were nominated. E. W. M. Mackey norainated R. H. Cain. W.McGill Fleming nominated James M. Allen, of Greenville. Gen. i Smalls nominated J. P. M. Epping. June \ Mobley nominated L. Cass Carpenter. For nearly an hour, Mobley kept up a loud and rambling harangue. Upon counting the votes, R. H. Cain re- i ceived 70 votes; L. C. Carpenter, 8; James M. Allen, 11; J. P. M. Epping, 6. i The Convention then adjourned to Monday j morr'ig, at 10 o clock. Monday, August 26. i The Convention met at 12.30, p. ra.?El- < liott in the chair. The Co ivention immediately proceeded to the consideration of the i platform, the full text of which, as adopted, < will be published in the Enquirer next I week. ] Upon the question of adopting the ninth ; section of the platform, relative to extending ( executive clemency to the ignorant and un- i designing violators of the enforcement act, the < ayes and nays were called, the same being j adopted by a vote of 74 to 18; the announcement of the vote being received with applause. The section was strongly advocated by ; Messrs. R. B. Elliott, T. J. Mackey, Cochran i and others. It was a noticeable feature that ' "" those voting "no" were from those sections of the country where the outrages had been most frequent and atrocious. A short passage of arms took place between i Mr. White, of i ork, and R. H. Cain, growing out of the fact that the former had taken part Saturday in the bolters' convention. Mr. White explained his position stating the great disadvantages he labored under so far as Republicanism in York county was concerned, and stated that he had to move very carefully. He stated that the proceedings in the bolters' convention were against his ideas, and he had cau ed his name to be stricken from the roll there. Mr. Neagle sustained Mr. White's position, and stated that he would link his destinies with the ticket headed by Gem. F. J. Moses. The Convention proceeded to the election of Presidential Elec ors with the following result: ih& Sliniv ni T.nvno TT P^Qmhorlnin -* w i w?v vrnvv uv J. I <j \s JL/ .IX. Viiuuiuvi^utu) W. B.

McGill Fleramg for Spartanburg; J. S. Mobley for Union. The Convention adjourned at one o'clock on Tuesday morning, subject to the call of the President upon the recommendation of the Central Executive Committee. pllocekdlngs OF THE "TRUE" REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Columbia, Aug. 23,1872. In accordance with public notice, a number of the delegates dissatified with the nomination of F. J. Moses for Governor, assembled at the Court House at 11 o'clock, A. M. to-day. Some twenty-five or thirty delegates were present?one-half, or probably more, of whom were colored. Judge Orr was called to the chair, and made an able and stirring speech, setting forth the j objects of the raovemeut, and commenting in j mnef covers tnrma nnnn thft rnrrnnt.inn wllioll l infected the majority of the leaders of the party. He said that the purpose of this Convention was to organize a ticket in opposition to our friends at the "other end of the avenue" to-day. It is intended to be exclusively Republican. It is not intended to buy up or associate the Democratic party in the movement. Judge Orr said that he had opposed Carpen- j ter and Butler, because reform has to be ac- j complished through the Republican party. ( If the Democrats now wish reform, they must; seek it through the Republican party. The corruptionists in this State do not exceed 2,000, i while there are 88,000 votes of honest men. j Of these, 80,000 are colored?the others white. The public institutions of all sorts, he said, ! are about to be closed, Dr. Ensor's personal efforts only keeping the Asylum going. No' public officer ha3 been paid in nine months,, and the schools are all closed. It is necessary that reform should begin. Judge Orr said he had no idea of the extent of the corruption, j nor of the ventilation of it North, until he went to the Philadelphia Convention. At all j hotels and everywhere earnest importunities were addressed to him to come home and stein the tide of corruption. He came to the Con vention with the earnest desire and purpose to work for honesty and honest candidates. He had never seen such rulings and proceedings as yesterday in the Convention. He felt constrained to withdraw when Moses was nominated, becauscof his record. Hon. D. T. Corbin had m~de the charge that 8500,000 of pay c rtificates had been issued, and it stands unrefuted. Pay certificates have been issued to the number of 400 attaches?some say 800. A mar. even from Atlanta, Ga., came here to get. Ins certificate cashed, not having oven been in the State, much less in the service of the General Assembly. The fact is, that the Speaker gave pay certificates to more persons in Beaufort than to poor victims of ku-klux. They were not given to any refugees. They were given to men to influence them to work in their counties, and to get delegations in favor of F. J. Moses. Judge Orr then touched upon tbe armed force fund, ."rom which he said, as published in the P.icenix, from the books of the Treasury themsehes. Franklin J. Moses. Jr., had | ?/ ' t drawn $11,000. This has been published irorn day to day, and yet no word of explanrtion from Moses nor his friends. As for ' * n, he had reason to believe that the money was received as a bribe in the case of Scott's impeachment. He then took a comprehensive review of the tremendous extravagance ane' profligacy of the present government, comparing it with that wl 'ch preceded it. $30,000, hesaid, paid all the expenses of the Legislature in 1867. The Treasurer now reports that the last Legislature cost $900,000, and so on in every other department of government. He closed in words of strong encouragement and hope for the success of an honest ticket Whipper was called for and begged to be excused unt;' to-morrow, as he was not prepared to speak just then. Mr. Bowen was then called for, and made a telling speech. He claimed that he bad commenced the fight against the faithless officials who have been robbing the people, and now they had even acknowledged the crimes he bad charged. As for him and his county, (Charleston) the largest in the State, they would have no hand in the election of the nominee made yesterday, or any like him. Charleston, he said, had voted 12,000 against dishonesty in 1870, and would vote thousands more in October. Mr. Jervey, (colored) of Charleston, followed Mr. JBoweu, in a neat and earnest speech, claiming that he knew his constituency and their wishes for reform, and he could not, even if he himself had a personal inclination that way, support F. J. Moses, and return and meet the indignant and frowning faces of the poor but honest men who had sent him here to represent them. S. J. Lee, (colored) of Sumter, followed Mr. Jei vey. He staged that he was placed in a very embarrassed and painful position. Gen. Moces, he said, was his personal friend? was reare 1 in the same family, and some even said that they were half-brothers. This, Lee said, however, wa<- not true. They had been warm friends, however, and now it was a sore trial for him to oppose Moses. But a sense of public duty was higher to him than the claims of mere personal intimacy; and being convinc , as he was, and had frequently so told fhe people of his county, thatF. J. Moses was among, if not the chief, of the corrupt ring wb'ch had v. ell-nigh ri,;ned the State. Lee is a co o d man, of far more than ordinary int' ''je iceand education, and spoke with much earnestness and strength. Sam Dickerson, (colored) of Charleston, also mrde a capital speech, in h:s usual style of mingled vehemence and humor. He brought down the house repeatedly. As for bira, he said he was deter ' ed no longer, and never again, so long as he might live, to disgrace his race aud to bring into disrepute the great party by whom they were enfranchised, by supporting for office dishonest men, and thus creating a government which stinks in the nostrils of all decent men, and was destined to undermine the Republican party, as it had already bankrupted the State ot soutn Carolina. He for one, he said, boldly took his staud on the side of honesty and reform, which he proposed to work out in the Republican ranks. If Democrats voted for the ticket, he would be very glad to have their support; but he wanted it clearly understood that this was a Republican fight, and none but genuine and tried Republicans should be nominated. Mr. Corbin also spoke, reiterating the charges which he had made heretofore against Moses and other State officials, of wholesale bribery and corruption, and which, he said, though made over two months, and the speech priuted and distributed throughout the State, were wholly unanswered and were unanswerable. He deniei the charges which were made by Judge Mackey against Mr. Tomlinson, relative to the latter's connection with the phosphate bill, and the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. He claimed to know all about the matter, and stated most emphatically that the allegations were as false as the man who made them; who was as false as hell itself. We in Charleston, said Mr. Corbin, know who this "thing on two legs," yclept Tom Mackey, is; and, thanks be to God, we have got rid of him and sent him up into the country of the ku-klux. whom, we none, will be able to keen watch over him. After Mr. Corbin, Mr. Tomlinson was called for, and made a terse, short and vigorous speech. He thanked Mr. Corbin for the friendly defense he had made of him from the vile slanders of Mackey and such men. It was a matter, he said, upon which he did not himself desire to speak, nor did he deem it at all necessary that he should. As for his personal integrity, he was willing to risk the judgment of the people on that point, to be determined by the tesraonials of every truthful man who knew him. Mr. Tomlinson then proceeded to explain the cause of his resigning the Auditor's place, a year and-a-half ago. Some had stated it was because of the raeagreness of the salary; others that he desired to engage in more lucrative business. There was, he said, more or less of truth in both of these suppositions, but the main and primary reason of his resignation was that he became couvinced that the government of South Carolina, as at that time administered, was no place in which an honest man, and one who valued a good name, should hold a position. Mr. Tomlinson then walked into the thieves ; ! ;? iL.:_ 1 1 1 in nnestyje, arraigning mem iur meir uase uetrayal of the negro race, into whose confidence they had wormed themselves, and for the shame and reproach they had brought upon the great Republican party by their official dishonesty and wholesale corruption. Such wretches were they, he said, that if the ku-klux, instead of shooting and beating poor, inoffensive colored people in York and other counties, had come down to the State capital and cleansed the Augean stables there, by scourging or even hanging the public robbers, no honest man could have denied that their fate was richly deserved. Mr. Tomliuson was interrupted with frequent applause. Mr. Sawyer was the last speaker. As the United States Senator, a man of acknowledged ability, and one supposed to be posted as to ; the desires and purposes of the authorities at Waslr'ugton, from which city he arrived only a day or two ago, the people were anxious to i hear from him, and listened to him with much interest. He made a good speech. Earnest, , thoughtful, direct and very fair, except when he referred to the reform movement in the State in 1870. Mr. Sawyer said that the administration at Washington had no choice, certainly had intimated none to him, as to what particular men should be placed in nomination in South Carolina. But the Grant party, or, as he claims, the Republican party of the North, and the administration at Washington, do most earnestly desire to see a refor ?o ' ? mation in the gross abuses which have taken place iu this State, and which form the heaviest burden which Gen. Grant has to bear in the Presidential campaign. They had no orders to give, nor dictation to make; but he felt authorized to declare that the administration could and would not give countenance to such a nomination as had been put forth by that purchased Convention at the lower end of the street. Mr. Sawyer said he was determined to have reform in the State, and that, too, through the Republican party alone. The white people, or Democrats of the State, might assist or not, as they saw fit. He believed that such a ticket could and would be brought forward as would command the respect of every honest man within the limits of the State, without regard to party predilections. He thought the white people of the State had learned a great deal in the last four years, and were now in a condition, he believed, to acknowledge some, at least, of the long contested principles of the Republican party?such as the civil and political equality of all men, white and black, &c. Mr. Sawyer, too, said that if the horrid ku-klux had extended their raids to the State capital, and leaving untouched the harmless colored people they had murdered and abused, had hung to the nearest, lamppost the villians who were plundering an oppressed people, the verdict of every honest man would have been : "They richly deserved it." After the close of Mr. Sawyer's speech, the Convention adjourned until 8 o'clock, p. m. At 9 o'clock, the Convention was called to order by Judge Orr. James M. Hayne, col-1 ored, was requested to act as Secretary. Captain Earle, of Greenville, being called upon, delivered an address, wherein he denounced the nominee for the gubernatorial chair, F. J. Moses, in strong terms. He had, several months ago, when Moses was first spoken of, asserted that he was unfit for the position?that he had notified Moses that he (Earle) had proposed to indict him before the courts for corruption and fraud, or that Moses should indict him for libel. The challenged party had paid no attention to it. The speaker expressed himself ashamed and disgusted that a Convention should be so utterly shameless as to call upon the Republican party to support such a man?one who could not be prevented from robbing the public treasury?whose rapacity could not be restrained. The excuse that the enormous pay certificates, (which Moses admitted to Governor Orr that he had used,) were to pay ku-klux victims, is altqgether too flimsy. To illustrate?the county of York had only one fleeing citizen, and he had received no pay certificate. Major Merrill was the authority in this case. In the county of Laurens, two refugees only came to Columbia, but neither received pay certificates. Moses had no authority for putting his hands in the pockets of the people, even for such a purpose; as, if it was necessary, the Legislature being in session, could provide for them. He (Moses) admitted to Judge Orr that the election wrs coming on; Parker had the Treasury at his back, and he (Moses) was forced to use the pay certificates to secure his nomination and election. The speaker then addressed the assemblage as "gentlemen of the jury?for you are a jury to try this case," and produced "facts and figures to show that pay certificates, etc., to the extent of $1,220,000, had been used to defray the expenses of one session of the Legislature, and to secure the election of F. J. Moses, Jr., for Governor of the State. Sam Johnson, (colored,) of Anderson, was next called upon. He hoped that the present movement would not be called a "split," but would prove a success. Six years ago, he said, he came to Columbia, and assisted in organizing the Republican party, amid dark clouds and troubles; he felt that the present was a cloudy time. The Convention at the other end of the street evidently thought they needed a Moses to carry them through the Red Sea; but it was a Joshua that was required. He assured his Democratic friends that they need not expect to derive any benefit from the present "split." If they attempted to use it so as to again get irrto power, the "bolters" would rejoin the thieves and fight them. If the property of the poor white man had to go, his rich white neighbor would suffer, too. Mr. Gaillard, (colored) of Charleston, next spoke. He apologized for his want of education, saying that he felt like a bull in a china shop. He spoke in feeling terms of the deception which base men had practiced upon the colored people, bringing them into infamy and their State government into disgrace. Of Mackey he spoke, and of Scott and Col. Taft, and of many others of those whom he termed thieves and robbers, and expressed his determination to do all in his power to aid reform. To the Democrats, he said that they nr?f in tliA A ntr aito. II1USI 11UI> lUlCiltlC 111 LI1V llglllii X111J 111UVV/meut on their part would result in an immediate abandonment of the reform movement. Mr. Bosemon was next introduced by the President in the most complimentary terms. Said Judge Orr: I have the honor to introduce to you a member of the late General Assembly?a colored member?against whom, when the air was foul with corruption, not a breath of suspicion had ever been raised, nor a word of slander uttered. Mr. Bosemon made a very excellent speech ; claiming that he was actuated in the present move, .entby a sense of duty to the Republican party and to the State. He proposed that it should be purely a Republican struggle, and warned the Democrats that if they should interfere, and attempt to take advantage of the Republican division, it would result in an immediate consolidation, and the success of the corrupt ring; in which event the Democrats would have only themselves to thank. Tim Hurley being called for, said he appeared as a tax-payer appealing to Republicans to protect the property of all citizens. This movement will win. I am never found with minorities. The Ring say their organization cannot be beat. I have handled these fellows and never failed. Every man has his price; but if Walpolesaw this crew he would sav thnv'ro ohenner than is worth mentioning. Charleston, Beaufort and Barnwell, are safe. Richland will not give Moses two hundred and fifty votes. In conclusion, he said, if the Moses party succeed, he would not give twenty-five cents on the dollar for any property in the State. Their platform is gammon. Their pledges are lies. Let us not say "Nothing can be done!" The people of New York rose up against the Tammany ring, and carried the State by one hundred thousand majority. The speech was both witty and sensible. Mack Maybin, a colored man, not a delegate, stated that he was in sympathy with the movement, and requesting leave to say a word; it was granted, and Mack Maybin launched out in a very vehement manner, frequently rising to flights of stirring eloquence. He hoped that the movement for reform would not be nominal merely, and begged that no man be taken into it, much less put forward as a candidate, who was not an honest man. W. J. Whipper was next called out, and made an able speech. He deplored the misplaced confidence of the colored people in the base men who had betrayed them. He knew that the people would not endorse the villainies which had been perpetrated, and that they would now as promptly rally for reform as they had before done to that of Republicanism and reconstruction. The public debt, he showed, had been increased $10,000,000, as was known, and what was unknown, God only could tell. He exposed the bribery which had been practiced in the validating bill, the case of impeachment and the bill to pay lvimpton $900,000 for gambling ;n the bonds of the State, and in other hstauces. The men guilty of these acts, he said, could be found in the State House, congratulating themselves over the nomination of the chief of the corruptionists, F. J. Moses, Jr. After Mr. Whipper's address, a motion was carried to adjourn until to-morrow, at 11 o'clock, at which time only delegates to the State, Congressional and Circuit Conventions are expected to attend. Saturday, Aug. 24, 1872. j The Convention met agreeably to adjournment at 12, M.?Judge Orr in the chair, j A Committee on Credentials was appointed, and the Convention took a recess until 8 o'clock p. m. j At the evening session, Judge Orr again ; took the chair, and called the Convention to order. The Committee on Credentials repor ted about fifty delegates present. A motion was then made and carried, that the Convention go into nominations. ! Mr. Petty, of Charleston, nominated Mr. Reuben Tomlinson for Governor. ; Mr. Earle, of Greenville, seconded the nom: ination, in a few hearty words in comraenda! tion of Mr. Tomlinson and in encouragement 1 of the movement, whose final success he could 1 not doubt. Mr. Johnson, of Anderson, nominated Mr. D. T. Corbin, which Gen. "Whipper seconded. One of the colored delegates from Charlesi ton nominated Mr. C. C. Bowen, and another seconded it. Mr. Bowen rose, and thanking his friends for the honor done him, begged to withdraw his name in favor of Mr. Reuben Tomlinson. The name of Mr. Corbin was also "withdrawn. There being but one candidate, on motion, the vote was taken by acclamation, and Mr. . X UIIIIIIISUU WU3 UIIUIUIUUIUIJ uuuuiiai&u. On motion, a committee of three was ap' pointed to inform Mr. Toralinson of his nomination, and conduct him to the stand. Mr. | Tomliuson was accordingly brought in, and 1 introduced to the Conven*:on by Judge Orr as the candidate of the honest Republican party. Mr. Tomlinson made a short and very good speech, thanking the Convention for the honor conferred upon him, and pledging himself, so far as his power might go, to an honest reformation of the State administration, should he be elected Governor. At the close of Mr. Tomlinson's speech, Mr. Bowen arose and said he desired to make a nomination. which was Derhans out of order. but which, for certain reasons, he desired to make at that time. He^desired to notrraate for Attorney-General that spotless Republican, the Hon. John T. Green, of Sumter. The announcement was received with rapturous applause. Mr. S.J. Lee, (colored) of Sumter, seconded the nomination in a fitting speech. Mr. J. H. White, (colored,) of York, no 11inated JudgeS. W. Melton, who, he said, had been nominated at the other Convention. He spoke in the highest terras of Judge Melton. General Whipper spoke a few words in favor of Judge Green, saying that he had all respect for Judge Melton, but that he proposed to make a square fight with the ring crew? to fight them from the first to last, to the knife, and to the hilt cf the knife; pnd that, inasmuch as Judge Melton had chosen to associate himself with Franklin J.Moses, he proposed to let him lie in the bed which he had made. Judge Melton's name was withdrawn, and Judge Green was unanimously nominated. The name nf Dr. R. A. Rnsp.mnn was next presented, by General Whipper, as a nominee for Lieutenant-Governor. Dr. Bosemon begged to decline the nomination, uion the grounds th?t he designed to aid the movement, heart and soul, upon the stump, and he did not think that it was wise for him to accept a nomiuation for any office from the Convention. The hour being late, no further nominations were made. The platform was then submitted, and read by Mr. Earle, of Greejville, and was ordered for consideration on Monday. On motion, the Convention then adjourned to meet on Monday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Monday, August 26. The Convention met agreeably to adjournment?Judge Orr in the chair?and proceeded with the nominations. The following is the full ticket for State officers: Governor?Reuben To.Jiuson, of Charleston. ^overnor?James N. Hayne (colored) of Barnwell. Secretary of State?Macon B.

Roberts (colored) of Greenville Adjutant and Inspector General?Philip Ezekiel, (colored) of Beaufort. Congressman at Large?Joseph Quash, (colored) of Aiken. The platform was adopted, the full text of which will be published in the Enquirer next week. The Convention elected C. C. Bowen, of Charleston, Chairman of the State Central Committee, and the following persons members of the Committee : TV. R. Jervey, D. T. Corbin and S. Lee. for the State at large: from the First Congressional District, B. F. Whittemore; Second Congressional District, W. J. Whipper; Third Congressional District, J. L. Orr ; Fourth Congressional District, S. T. Poinier. On motion, three rousing cheers were given for Grant and Wilson aud the honest Republican party. On motion, the name cf the "True Republican party of South Carolina" was adopted. Resolutions of thanks to the Chairman and Secretary were adopted, after which the Convention adjourned sine die. + ?
