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

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 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.

Hnraans Share with Horses the benefits derivable
from the world-renowned Mexican
Mustang Liniment. The most irrefragable
testimony establishes the fact that this wondrous
balm exerts the same soothing and heal
ing influence when applied to the human cuticle,
that it does in cases of spavin, founders,
ring-bone, poll evil, scratches, wind-gall and
other ailments of the horse, which require
outward treatment. It is, in fact, the most
effectual of all external remedies for rheumatism,
gout, stiffness of the neck, neuralgia,
sore throat, swellings, cuts and bruises of all
kinds.
