THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1876.
IS CO-OPERATION ADTISABLE.
The propriety of uniting the Demo?
cratic party in support of a portion or all
of the Republican nominees for State
officers is again being seriously discussed
by a few of the papers of the State under
the lead of the News and Courier. The
coalition policy was completely demol?
ished, and we suppose these papers thiiik
by changing the name of the policy to
co-operation they can induce the people to
believe some new issue is presented. But
be this as it may, these papers have for
their object a combination of Democrats
and Republicans to perpetuate the domi?
nance of Governor Chamberlain over the
people of this State for at least two years
longer, which will also result in the elec?
tion of a Treasurer. Comptroller and At?
torney General, Secretary of State, Supcr
intendant of Education, and Adjutant
and Inspector General for the next four
years from the Republican party of South
Carolina. The people need not be de?
ceived.* The Republican party means to
nominate a full ticket from Governor
down, and any attempt of the Democrats
to take their candidate for Governor and
run another set of subordinate officers
will result in failure, for the Democratic
masses cannot be rallied at the polls to
vote for a Republican Governor. Hence,
this course means unconditionally to
turn the State over once more to the Re?
publicans without a serious effort to pre?
vent it. But this is not the only objec?
tionable feature of the policy. It inevi?
tably surrenders many of the counties of |
the State which are about evenly divided,
for there will be hundreds and thousands
of the people in the State who will not
v )te at all in the coming election if there
is any co-operation to assist in the elec?
tion of a Republican Governor. We
will admit that it should not affect coun?
ty elections, but that is a matter of very
little consequence, for every one con?
versant with South Carolina politics
knows that the State ticket does affect
county elections. But if it whs practica?
ble to succeed it would be demoralizing,
to our people to induce them to support
a ticket which would be humiliating to
every man of honor. We have lonj
enough bowed at the shrine of the expe?
dient in this State, and the craven policy
has only added to our disorganization
and trouble. Republicanism is no more
honest, no more respectable to-day than
it was in 1868, when certaiu prominent
co-operation lights of the present time
would not consent to any affiliation with
Republicans. We do not see any mate?
rial reformations accomplished since that
time in this State. If Governor Cham?
berlain is any better to-day than iu 1874
we fail to perceive it, and yet the News
and Courier, his strongest opponent then,
is to-day his strongest advocate. Until
some substantial reason for adopting him
is presented, the people of this State
should not consent to humiliate them?
selves and their State by supporting him.
But if he is such a patriot and upright
man as his Democratic admirers think
him, we have nothing to lose from run?
ning a separate ticket, for by it we in?
sure the election of a Democrat if we
succeed, and if we are beaten the other
party will elect Chamberlain. Hence, if |
the co-operationists are correct in their
estimates of him, there is nothing to be
gained by sacrificing our principles to
support a Republican. In the coming
canvass many, colored men can be in?
duced to vote the straight-out Democratic
ticket, and by a determined and per?
sistent effort we may achieve a complete
revolution in South Carolina politics?at
least let us enjoy the luxury of one effort
to establish a pure Democratic govern?
ment for the State.
THE BUSINESS OF CHARLESTON.
A very sensible communication upon
the causes affecting the prosperity of*
Charleston appeared in the Journal of
Commerce of the 23rd instant, in which
the writer attributes the decline of pros?
perity in the City by the Sea, to the
selfish management which controls the
South Carolina Railroad, which is the
principal commercial feeder to the busi?
ness of the city from the interior por?
tions of the State. He is entirely cor?
rect when he complains that high local
freights over this and the Greenville and
Columbia Roads has a tendency to carry
trade to New York and other Northern
cities, and to build up the cities of the
interior?as Charlotte, Atlanta and Green?
ville. There is nothing which adds so
much to the advancement of a place as
having thorough railroad connections,
and a cheap rate of transportation to and
from all points with which it is connect?
ed. The railroad connections is the
cause of the prosperity of the interior
towns named, and this has already placed
Atlanta in a position which will give it.
more prominence and prosperity than
Charleston, unless the policy of the rail?
road to that city can be changed. The
one great subject upon which the city of J
Charleston has been less vigilant than
any other of like importance, is its rail?
road connections. The attention of its
business men had better guard and pro?
mote this interest, which has suffered in
the past, than to spend all their attention
upon improvements of the harbor. There
is ample facility for all the shipping
warranted by the present business of the j
city. By courting the interior trade of j
the State, instead of almost driving it by
unreasonable freight discriminations to
other places, and by securing the incal?
culable advantages wnich would assured?
ly result from the completion of the
Blue Ridge link of its railway system, a
new impetus would bo given to the busi?
ness of the city, and at a proper time the
means necessary for harbor improvement
might be obtained. The policy of
Charleston is bound to end in ultimately
circuftscribing the business of the city.
It will be an unfortunate day for our
proud old city should the Blue Ridge
Railroad bo diverted by way of Athens,
Augusta and Port Royal. The apathy of |
Charlestonians to the completion of this
enterprise is incomprehensible. If the
views expressed in the communication
referred to could be heeded and further
extended so as to look, not only to an
alteration of the course pursued by the
present roads, but also to the construc?
tion of additional connections and lines
of communication, a brighter day would
rapidly dawn upon this city. The pres?
ent short-sighted policy is choking off
trade, and building up other cities.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
The Republican National Nominating
Convention completed its work some two
weeks since, thereby affording ample
opportunity to discover the spirit in !
which its action is received by the people
of the Union. There is no enthusiasm
even in the Republican party over Hayes
and Wheeler as their national standard
bearers. The nomination has nothing to
recommend it to the suffrages of the
people beyond the fact that it brings a
new element of the Republican party to
the lead in preference to taking its most
prominent men. Neither of its candi-.
dates have any reputation beyond that of
local politicians, and the very obscurity of
the men thus thrust so prominently to
the front is relied upon* to bear them to
victory in November. There are no
brilliant abilities nor illustrious services
to commend these leaders, and their re?
commendation to the people is announced
to be not that they have done something
worthy of men or of statesmen, but that
they have never done anything. The
simple fact of the matter is, that the Re?
publican party is loaded down with the
sins and corruptions practiced by its
leaders for many years, and did not dare
ask the nation to trust these notorious
criminals with the government for
another term. At the same time there
was very little desire to make any real
reformation by nominating a sterling re?
former like Bristow. In this strait the
Convention sought out these nebulous un?
knowns from their ranks and present them
in the guise of reformers. But the coun?
try cannot be deceived. The principles
of the party are unchanged. It is found?
ed upon sectional hatred, and exists by
pandering to every discordant element in
the nation. It presents no living issue
upon public polity, but contents itself
with its own laudation and with com?
placently abusing the Democrats. The
platform taken with the candidates pre?
sents the Republican party of to-day in
its true light. This remarkable docu?
ment has been well termed a group of
platitudes. The first portion which
speaks of the equality and liberty that
has been given to all by the party is an
unbearable repetition, while the implica?
tion that these liberties are in dispute
and subject to recall is provocative of a
sneer from all truth-loving citizens. The
plank opposing further grants of lands to
corporations is intended for a promise of
economy, but there are two objections to
it: First, the Republicans have already
voted away all the most valuable public
lands, therefore these thieves can well
afford to advise the locking of the stable
doors after they, have stolen the horses.
Second, to show how sincere they are in
making this promise and how much they
are opposed to grants of public lands, they
nominate Hayes for President, who voted
for all these appropriations, and Wheeler
for Vice President, who was chairman of
the committee in Congress which made
these appropriations. It will be a re?
freshing view of Republican consistency
to see^Hayes and Wheeler going over
the country denouncing the Credit Mo
b?iers of the Republican party after
voting for them. The fifteenth plank,'
which deprecates sectional feeling and
j warns against success of the Democratic
j party because it will be by a united
South, contains a most monstrous false
i hood and glaring inconsistency. In one
breath it deprecates what it tries to create
in the next. The last plank is, however,
by far the most disastrous in its'effects
upon . Republican prospects, for it
endorses Grant and his administration in
unmeasured terms, and thereby assumes
fairly and squarely the sins of the past
and commends them as virtues. The
Babcock3, the Belknaps and the Schencks
are therefore not repudiated by the Re?
publicans, and the only element which
has received a decided black eye from
the Convention is the real reformers
under Bristow.
The result of this Convention gives the
Democrats who are now in council at St.
Louis a very fine opportunity to secure
the government by a prudent platform
and judicious nomination for President
and Vice President. If Tilden should
be nominated there is very little doubt
that victory will be sure?if on the other
hand, however, the statesmen, as they
think themselves, of the West are able to
control the Convention in favor of rag
money and a sectional candidate, who is
weak everywhere except at home/ the
Republicans may expect to elect their
candidates. Hayes and Wheeler is a neg?
ative ticket, and although it creates very
. little enthusiasm the ticket will command
a strong party vote. We do not believe
any man except Tilden or perhaps Gen.
Hancock would be at all secure of elec?
tion upon a Democratic platform. Gov?
ernor Tilden would present such a strong
contrast to Hayes that he would almost
assuredly be borne to victory by a storm
of popular enthusiasm. He is no nega?
tive, but a positive character, in whose
favor the strongest arguments can be
made, for he is the greatest reformer of
this day. He unites the splendid quali?
ties of the patriot and the scholar, the
statesman and the politician, the honest
man and the fearless advocate of the
right in such rare proportions as to com?
mand alike the respect and confidence of
friends and foes. He is immensely pop?
ular in New York, where his fearless ad?
ministration of the State government has
bruised the imperious head of the odious
Tammany ring and crushed to death the
canal ring, which by its frauds and pecu?
lation had become a power in the State.
His brilliant services have pointed him
out to the nation as the man who can and
will, if nominated, put to flight the
national rings and corruptionists. His
election need not be feared if he is the
standard-bearer. General Hancock, of
Pennsylvania, is also an exalted patriot,
but we doubt his having the strength of
Tilden either at home or in the nation.
These, however, are the two strongest
men, and a failure to nominate one or
the other would be au unpardonable
blunder. The nomination of Tilden for
President and Hancock for Vice Presi?
dent would at once put two giants in in?
tellect and achievements against the two
Republican pigmies, so far as these quali?
ties arc concerned. A moderate amount
of wisdom on the part of the St. Louis
Convention will secure the Presidency to
the Democrats.
Judge Cooke is spoken of as a candidate
for Governor by the regular Republicans,
at the next regular election.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
After his defeat in the nominating
Convention, Blaine sent Hayes his "sin
cerest congratulations." The New York
World calls this the first fruits between
his well known politeness and his noto?
rious veracity.
The Convention in St. Louis will in?
deed be a funeral if it nominates Samuel
J. Tilden, of New York, for the Presi?
dency, for (to paraphrase from Gov.
Vance) such a nomination would bury
the Republican party and its Cincinnati
nominees forever, with their faces down?
ward, so that even if it hereafter attempts
to scratch out it will travel in a down?
ward direction.
The recent Republican Convention,
~which convened in Cincinnati, held its
sessions in the same hall in which the
Liberal Republican Convention met four
years ago. The fatuity attending the
Republican party in this canvass goes
even further, for Hayes and Greeley were
both nominated on Friday. The Repub?
licans should not have defied the fates in
this manner.
Ex-Gov. Nye, of Ohio, said in nomi?
nating Hayes, that he had gotten into the
habit of beating Democrats, and would
continue to do it from the force of habit
if nominated for the Presidency, and
this argument seemed to win. The
Democrats should nominate Tilden, who
is accustomed to beating Republicans,
and let the two w?r-horses fight it out in
this canvass. Hayes beat Allen only
3,000 votes, while Tilden beat His about
53,000. Hence, if former habits have
anything to do with this canvass, Gov.
Tilden would beat Gov. Hayes by a very
handsome majority.
Secretary Bristow- has resigned the
charge of the Treasury Department to
retire into private life. He refuses to
be interviewed by newspaper correspon?
dents, saying that be retires because he
choses to do so, and that what induces
his action is nobody's business. He has
made a faithful officer to all appearances,
and his resignation will be generally re?
gretted. It is not improbable that he
leaves Washington completely disgusted
with the course of political events, and
bitterly regretting that he allowed his
j ambition to lead him further in political
life than the discharge of the duties of
j his Secretaryship. With ordinary dis?
cernment he might have discovered that
he was not a pleasant companion for the
party in power, and have thereby been
spared the mortification and future inju?
ry resulting from allowing his name to
go before the National Republican nom?
inating Convention. Senator Lot M.
Morrill, of Maine, has been nominated
and confirmed to succeed him, but has
not yet accepted. This nomination is
about an average of Grant's appoint?
ments.

RUMORS OF COALITION AND CO?
OPERATION.
[Special dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette.]
Washington, June 22.?I am relia?
bly informed that a compromise has at
last been effected between Governor
Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and
Senator Patterson. The new programme
is this: Chamberlain will be re-nomi?
nated for Governor, with a colored man
for Lieutenant-Governor. Immediately
after the election, and as soon as the
General Assembly convenes, the Gov?
ernor will have a bill passed redeeming
the conversion bonds, one of his pet
schemes, which has been held in abey?
ance. Senator Patterson's Blue R?ge
scrip will also be taken care of at the
same time. After these schemes are safe,
Chamberlain will then be elected to the
United States Senate to succeed Senator
Robertson. This arrangement will prove
especially distasteful to ex-Congressman
R. B. Elliott, colored, who has been re?
garded a potential candidate for Robert?
son's place. Senator Patterson has ex?
erted his influence with the National
Republican, and that paper will discon?
tinue its attacks upon Chamberlain. A
private telegram from Columbia states
that State Treasurer Cardozo is noisy in
his denunciation of Governor Chamber?
lain since he ascertained that he and
Patterson have become reconciled. This
information must prove especially dis?
tasteful to those newspapers in South
Carolina which have hitherto been en?
dorsing . Chamberlain as a genuine "re?
former." "
[Special Dispatch to IS. Y. World.]
Washington, June 22.
A remarkable coalition in the interest
of power and plunder is said to have been
formed between Governor Chamberlain,
of South Carolina, and Senator Patterson,
by which the reform movement in that
State inaugurated by the former is to be
broken up. Chamberlain has been here
for several days, and has affected a recon?
ciliation with Patterson. The result iB
said to be that Patterson will support
Chamberlain for re-election on the con?
dition that the latter is pledged to redeem
what is known as the Blue Ridge scrip
and the almost worthless conversion
bonds issued some years ago by the State.
He is then to be sent to the United States
Senate and the colored Lieutenant-Gov?
ernor will become Governor. Patterson
is largely interested in the Blue Ridge
scrip and others in the bonds, which are
all to be refunded under the bargain into
a new bond to be issued by tbe State.
[Correspondence of News and Courier.]
Washington, June 23.
Senator Patterson's declaration that
there are "five years of good stealing yet
in South Carolina," would seem to be
verified by reports of the many desperate
schemes .on foot to obtain possession of
the State offices. I learn that Judge R.
B. Carpenter, Hardy Solomon and Comp?
troller T. C. Dunn had an interview in
New York City on the 20th instant, with
H. H. Kimpton, E. B. Wesley and oth?
ers interested in conversion bonds and
Blue Ridge scrip, the object being to pro?
cure sufficient money to elect men to
legalize them. It is proposed to buy up
the Republican Convention and secure
the nomination of either Carpenter or
Dunn as Governor, with Hardy Solomon
as State treasurer. It is not known what
success the negotiations met with, or
whether the money will be forth-coming,
but a move will undoubtedly be made in
this direction, and Senator Patterson will
of course be a party to it.
Apropos of Patterson, it may be well
to correct the statement circulating
through the South Carolina newspapers,
to the effect that he was appointed by
President Grant on the boaia of exami?
ners to West Point. The appointment
was made by the president of the Senate,
who first selected Senator Clayton, of
Arkansas. Clayton declined, and there
was a general disinclination to accept the
appointmeut, owing to the approaching
close of the session. Patterson, however,
asked for the appointment, and it was
given to him. It seems to have been
considered essential to appoint a carpet?
bagger, which requirement Patterson fills
completely.
The Baltimore Gazette contains a Wash?
ington special in this morning's issue in
which it is stated that Governor Cham?
berlain and Senator Patterson had settled
their differences and formed an alliance,
which is to make the Governor Senator
Robertson's successor. The story finds
very little credence here. "Governor
Chamberlain cannot afford to sacrifice the
fair reputation he has earned by associa?
ting himself with Patterson, ana I fancy
that Senator Robertson will be his own
successor.

The Idle Democracy.?Is that man
a true Democrat who hunts up excuse to
keep away from club meetings ? Is that
man a friend to his people who lounges
around doing nothing, or sits quietly in
his deserted store or Dusiness office on
such occasions ? Does he want a change
in our political condition who will not
give a bit of his time and influence to
defeat the foul crew who now prey upon
us ? It looks doubtful to us and puts us
to asking questions. It needs no argu?
ment to convince a man of common sense
that our country is forever lost if we do
not rise at once to decisive action in this
critical time. The Democracy of Abbe?
ville must awake from the fatal lethargy
whiclr has stupified them so long, and
meet in a manly way the issues now be?
fore them. He who is recreant now, is
a traitor to all that is right in morals and
all that is due to bis fellow-citizens.
If you are an honest man, a friend of
your people, and wish to leave a country
fit to live in to your children, come out
from your retirement and join in this cru?

want to deliver his sword, because An?

INDICATIONS FROM ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis, June 24.
Twenty of the Michigan delegates are
for Tilden. A dispatch has been received
from the Virginia delegation stating that
they were united for Tuden.
The Illinois delegation are placed as
follows: Tilden 23; Davis 10; Hen
dricks 9. Individual delegates from the
Southern States talk pretty freely, but
are careful not to commit their delega?
tions to any particular opinion or line of
action. One of them, very prominent in
Alabama, is for Tilden, and he believes
that most of the representative men of
the South prefer that gentleman, though
his observations, since leaving home, have
tended to modify some of his views on the
general situation, and he thinks it likely
that such will be the case with many del?
egates from that section. Gen. Hancock,
he says, has gained largely in the South
lately, and next to Tilden he is the choice
of the Southern Democrats. Although
the South has the majority of the Demo?
cratic votes necessary to elect a President,
yet they do not propose to dictate in the
least. They want a candidate who will
carry the election?one who will lead
them to victory, and place the govern?
ment in the hands of the Democracy.?
Governor Hendricks, this Alabama gen?
tleman says, has little strength in the
South; still, if it is thought he is thestrong
est man in the North, and can carry New
York and such other States as will insure
success, the South will gladly accept him
and give him its full vote. If the South
has any demand to make, it is that the
nominee of the convention shall be a man
against whose loyalty to the Federal gov?
ernment during the late war not even a
shade of suspicion can attach. The nom?
ination of Hayes by the Republicans has
unsettled opinion in the South somewhat.
With Blaine, Morton or Conkling on the
Republican ticket, Tilden was by all odds
the man for the Democratic nomination;
but the negative qualities of Hayes, and
the strength resulting therefrdm, have
modified views in the South to some ex?
tent ; and although there is no doubt that
Tilden is the choice of the South, it may
be thought that some other man will be
stronger and more successful before the
people. Other Southern delegates ex?
press opinions similar to the above.
Individual members desire an acknowl?
edgment that the people of the Pacific
States are right in their opposition to
Mongolian immigration. A small por?
tion of the Ohio delegation have also ar?
rived. The delegation is instructed to
vote for Allen, but the members now here
say they would accept Thurman, or per?
haps Hendricks.
The Maine, New Jersey and Georgia
delegations have arrived. There have
also arrived some seventy gentlemen from
Arkansas, who will hold a meeting here
and elect delegates to the national con?
vention. *
The Nevada delegation favors Tilden.
The delegations from the Pacific slope are
anxious to have Chinese immigration dis?
cussed by the convention.
St. Louis, June 26.
The following is the count of votes for
Mr. Tilden the first ballot, as made by
his friends at Tilden headquarters. It
might be supposed to represent an ex?
treme view of his hope, but it omits sev?
eral States which it is believed will give
him some votes: Alabama, 16 ; Arkan?
sas, 12; California, 12; Colorado, 6;
Connecticut, 7; Florida, 8; Georgia, 10;
niinois, 32; Iowa. 22; Kentucky, 24;
Maine, 14; Massachusetts, 26; Michigan,
20; Minnesota, 10; Mississippi, 16; Mis?
souri, 14; Nebraska, 6; Nevada, 6; New
Hampshire, 10 ; New York, 70;. North
Carolina, 10; Oregon, 10 ; Rhode Island,
8; South Carolina, 12; Texas, 16; Ver?
mont, 10; Virginia, 22; .Wisconsin, 18.
Mr. Tilden's opponents naturally take
a different view of this count from almost
every State and deny him many that his
friends claim. Their computation is as
follows: Arkansas, 12; California, 8;
Colorado, 6; Connecticut, 12; Ulinois,
10; Kentucky, H; Maine, 14; Mary?
land, 8; Minnessota, 10; Mississippi, 16 ;
Missouri, 10; Nebraska, 6; Nevada, 6;
New Hampshire, 10; New York, 70;
Massachusetts, 26; Oregon, 4; Rhode
Island, 6; Vermont, 10; Virginia, 10.
The full vote, counting one for each del?
egate, is 738.
Anti-Tildeu men give the following as
Hendricks' vote: Alabama, 20; Cali?
fornia, 4; Illinois, 4; Indiana, 30;

and experienced politicians, who are sel?
dom wrong in their calculations, but
whose judgment may be a little shaken
now by their strong anti-Tilden feeling,
say they expect to see in this convention
an exact repetition of that at Cincinnati.
They look to see Governor Tilden leadin
the balloting just as. Mr. Blaine did, and
to see the prize go to General Hancock,
just as the Cincinnati convention went to
Governor Hayes.
The soft money element, with Richard
Schell, of New York, as President, held
a meeting to determine their course of
action. Twenty-one States were repre?
sented. Tom Enving, of Ohio, was the
most prominent speaker. They will ask
a resolution from the convention calling
for a repeal of the resumption act.
The Hendricks men feel more confi?
dent. General Manson, who is managing
for Hendricks, has assurances of support
from States not before counted on, and
expects, after the first ballot, to make de
Cl( led gains. A Hendricks band is pa?
rading the streets.
The anti-Tilden leaders are seeking
somebody strong enough to carry Ohio,
Indiana and New York. A conference
at the parlor of the Southern Hotel by
the delegations opposed to Tilden was
addressed by Roger A. Pryor,' John Kelly
and others. The object was to see what
could be done. They report sufficient
strength to beat Tilden, but indicate
no choice.
Massachusetts and Wisconsin will vote
solid for Tilden?an important gain.?
The Tilden managers express increasing
confidence of ultimate success, in spite of
Tammany.
It is now believed the two-thirds rule
will stand. None of the managers of the
prominent candidates seem to have the
courage to attack it.
A communication signed Gideon J.
Tucker, President pro tern, of the New
York delegation, and H. D. McNaugh
ton, Secretary, is addressed to the Na?
tional Executive Committee. This is
the greenback delegation, and they claim
an equal footing with the Utica delega?
tion in the contest for seats, and request
that neither be admitted until the conven?
tion can act on their claims.
The unit question was discussed by the
Pennsylvania delegation, but no definite
action taken. A majority, however seem
to favor carrying out the instructions of
their State Convention. The California
delegation will move for an emphatic ex?
pression on the Chinese question. They
say they can carry the whole Pacific slope
for the Democracy if they can get from
the convention an acknowledgment that
their people are right on this subject
No action was taken regarding how this
delegation would vote, but it- is under?
stood a majority are for Tilden, and the
vote will probably be cast as a unit. The
Oregon delegation stands on the same
ground as the Californians on the Chinese
Suestion. The Alabama delegation is
ivided, and they have decided to vote as
they please. They refuse to give any
definite information as to their prefer?
ence.
The Louisiana delegation express
themselves partially in favor of Tilden.
The Maino delegation is solid for Tilden.
The Maryland delegation strongly prefer
Bayard. North Carolina favors no par?
ticular man ; they came here to follow,
not to lead, and will support the man who
seems able to carry the party to victory.
This feeling is entertained by most of the
Southern delegates.
Cornell Jewett, representing the Inde?
pendents, publishes an address in the
Evening LHspodch, advocating acompro
mise on the financial question. He fa?
vors a Southern man for Vice-President,
and the postponement of the financial
plank until after the nomination. Jewett
represents the Peter Cooper ticket, and
states, with authority, it will be with?
drawn if the Democrats favor green?
backs.
THE TWO-THIRDS RULE.
"An Original, Traditional and Funda?
mental Democratic Principle.*'
Hoger A. Pryor in the Sew York Sun.
The action of the Maine Democracy
foreshadows an attempt, in the St. Louis
Convention, to abrogate the two-thirds
rule. In view of the discussion which
the effort will occasion, and particularly
since some misapprehension seems to pre?
vail as to the origin and policy of this
famous regulation, a brief review of its
history may not be without interest and
instruction.
The Congressional caucus, itself bor?
rowed from the politics of England, was
the original of the National Convention.
In 1800, at Philadelphia, a caucus com?
posed of Representatives and Senators
nominated Jefferson and Burr for Presi?
dent and Vicc-President of the United
States.
At Washington on the 19th of January,
1808, a similar caucus nominated Madi?
son for the Presidency; and in 1812 a
caucus presented him" for re-election.?
Meanwhile much discontent with this
method of selecting candidates had spread
among the Republicans ; so that on the
11th of March, 1816, when a Congression?
al caucus met in Washington to choose a
successor to Mr. Madison, nineteen mem?
bers of the party refused to attend. After
a severe struggle between Monroe and
Crawford, the former was nominated by
a vote of sixty-five to thirty-four. Mon?
roe was re-elected without opposition.
In 1824, notwithstanding the popular
clamor against the system, a caucus of
Republican Congressmen presented Craw?
ford for the Presidency; hut his nomina?
tion was largely repudiated by the party;
and in default of a majority vote in the
college of electors, Adams was elected by
the House of Representatives over Jack?
son.
The result was to the last degree odious
and disappointing to the country, and
being imputed to the operation of the
method ot nomination, as well as to the
shameful .intrigue between Clay and
Adams, "King Caucus," as it was called
in the slang of the day, was abjured for?
ever, and its memory exists only for "ad
monition and reproof."
Gen. Jackson was nominated, both for
his first and second term, by the Legisla?
tures of the States. The first National
Convention for the nomination of candi?
dates was held in Baltimore in September
1831, by the Anti-Masonic party; and
they presented William Wirt for Presi?
dent, and Amos Ellmaker for Vice-Pres?
ident. (If more information of this party
and convention be desired, reference may
be had to the venerable Thurlow Weed.)
In December of the same year a party
styling itself National Republican met at
Baltimore and nominated Henry Clay
and John Sergeant for President and
Vice-President.
The Democrats, as they now began to
distinguish themselves, had already, by
the State Legislatures, presented Jack?
son for a second term ; but controversy
existing in the choice of a candidate for
Vice-President, for solution of the difficul?
ty New Hampshire proposed the expe?
dient of a National Convention.
The first Democratic National Conven?
tion was called to nominate a Vice-Presi?
dent only ; and it met in Baltimore on
the 21st of May, 1832. Robert Lucas of
Ohio was chosen President of the body.
In determining the selection of a candi?
date the convention, on motion of Romu?
lus M. Saunders of North Carolina,
adopted the following resolution: ?
Resolved, That each State be entitled,
in the nomination to be made of a candi?
date for the Vice-Presidency, to a num?
ber of votes equal to the number that
they will be entitled to in the Electoral
Colleges under the new apportionment; in
voting for President and Vice-President,
and that two-thirds of the whole number
of votes in the convention shall be
necessary to constitute a choice.
This is the origin of the now famous
two-thirds rule. Martin Van Buren re?
ceived the requisite vote for the nomina?
tion, and was elected on the ticket with
Andrew Jackson.
The next Democratic National Con?
vention met in Baltimore, May 20,1835,
and by unanimous vote nominated Van
Buren to succeed Jackson in the Presi?
dency. In 1840 Van Buren was present?
ed by another Convention at Baltimore
for a second term; but was defeated by
General Harrison, whom the Whigs had
nominated in Convention at Harrisburg.
The ambition of the "Sage of Kinder
hook" was not to be appeased without
another incumbency of the Presidency;
and accordingly his friends urged him
for nomination by the Democratic Con- j
vention which met at Baltimore on the
27th of May, 1844. But Mr. Romulus
M. Saunders was again present with his
two-thirds rule; and on his motion the
Convention adopted it by a vote of 148
to 118. On the first ballot Van Buren
received 146 votes, a majority, but not
two thirds of the convention. After the
seventh ballot an attempt was made to
repeal the two-thirds rule, but was de?
feated by the same vote by which it was
adopted, namely, 118 for and 148 against
its repeal. On the ninth ballot James
K. Polk was nominated by a unanimous
vote.
In the Democratic Convention which
met at Baltimore on the 22d of May,
1848, the two-thirds rule was again adopt?
ed, and under its operation Lewis Cass
was nominated for the Presidency.
The same rule was re-enacted at Balti;
more in 1852, and has been retained by
every succeeding Democratic conven?
tion.
It is not true, then, as popularly repor?
ted, that the two-thirds rule originated in
the convention of 1844, and was devised
to prevent the nomination of Mr. Van
Buren. It was adopted in 1832 by the
first Democratic National Convention
ever held, and is, in truth, an original,
traditional and fundamental principle of
the Democratic constitution.
The policy of the rule consists in its
efficacy as a safeguard against the nomi?
nation of a candidate by States which
cannnot contribute to his election.
But this original argument for its adop?
tion is indefinitely strengthened by the
modern practice of a unit vote in con?
vention. A large number of States now
cast their vote as a whole, without refer?
ence to the will of the minority. It is
obvious that if all the States were to
adopt this expedient, a candidate might
be chosen by the minority of the conven?
tion. For illustration : Take three States
with three votes each; in each of two
States a particular candidate has two
votes, and one against him, while the
third State gives its three votes for the
candidate of the minority in the other
two States. This latter candidate ha3 ac?
tually five votes, and the other four, yet,
by operation of the unit rule, the man
with four votes is nominated over the
man with five votes ! As affording some
guarantee against this absurd and iniqui?
tous result tue two-thirds rule should be
held inviolate.
? When Chief Justice Holt, of Eng?
land, who had been somewhat of a grace?
less scamp in his youth, recognized an old
acquaintance in a prisoner brought be?
fore him, he cautiously questioned him
as to what had become of his old com?
rades. He supposed that he was not
recognized by the prisoner, but the reply
convinced him to the contrary: "They
arc all hanged, my lord, exceptyou and I."
A FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS.
New York, June 24.
A special from Gen. Crook's camp on
Goose Creek, via Fort Fetterman, gives
details of a big fight between the troops
and Sioux, on June 17. The Sioux were
about 2,500 strong, under Sitting Bull,
and the troops 1,300 strong, under Gen.
Crook. The fight lasted five hours. The
troops had reached the head waters of
the Rosebud Creek, between high bluffs,
on the night of the 16th, and formed
into a hollow square, in anticipation of a
night attack, as signs of the Sioux had
been seen. There was no molestation,
however, and the march was resumed at
5.30 a. m. in two columns. The troops
had only proceeded ten miles down the
valley, when a sudden halt was made, at
a signal of the Snake Indians, who gal?
loped from the front, shouting wildly,
"Sioux! Sioux!" Firing began imme?
diately. The friendly Indians mounted
their bands quickly, and the Crows sang
their war song. In a moment all the
Crows and Snakes rushed in the direction
of the Sioux, with savage yells.
Gen. Crook wished to attack with the
troops first, but the Crows could not be
restrained. The onset of the Snakes and
Crows made the Sioux rapidly recede.
Capt. Cane's infantry advanced to the
crest of a ridge, and opened fire. The
Crows and Snakes then began to be hotly
Eressed by the Sioux, and were beaten
ack before them. The Sioux had taken
up a masterly position. Capt. Noyes'
cavalry then charged the Sioux to the
North, and dismounted and poured two
volleys into them.. Capt. Mill's cavalry
moved forward ahead ofNoyes' command,
and charged them still further.
His men lay down and maintained a
steady fire for half an hour against a
crowd of concealed Sioux skirmishers.
The Crows then made another charge, but
were again driven back. The Sioux now
became bold, and crept forward, ready to
make a dash, when Mill's command
again drove them back. The Sioux gave
him several heavy volleys, and then
broke and ran for the bluffs. Gen.
Crook's aid-de-carap ordered the com?
mand to cease firing and advance direct?
ly North, along the stream, to the Sioux
village, six miles off, but the order was
countermanded. Mill's, command pur?
sued the retreating Sioux four miles.
After some further firing, orders were
given to fall back and concentrate for a
general advance; this proved disastrous.
The Sioux held the highest ground, and
poured a destructive nre on the exposed
troops. The recruits behaved bravely
while this order was being performed.
Nine men were killed by the*Sioux, and
twenty wounded. The Crows and Snakes
at this critical moment made another
charge, and fought the Sioux nobly. As
soon as the junction was effected, the
Sioux began to yield, and the infantry
drove them from the high bluff. The
Snakes pursued them several miles. At
one o'clock the firing ceased, and the
troops fell back to the point where the
battle began. The Crows were deter?
mined to return home, being dissatisfied
with the support they received from the
troops. The Sioux committed some hor?
rible atrocities in the field. One Snake
was killed and eight wounded. A num?
ber of Sioux were dead on the field,' but
many dead and wounded Sioux were
carried off.
GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY.
? Mr. Talmage lately prayed for all
who read his sermons. He is not entire?
ly without feeling for the afflicted.?New
Orleans Republican.
? "I don't know much about Mr.
Wheeler," said Governor Hayes, and
probably Mr. Wheeler can say with equal
truthfulness, "I don't know much about
Governor Hayes."
? The eldest daughter of General
Robert C. Schenck, United States Minis?
ter to England, is to be married in Ohio
next September to an English gentleman
whom she met in London.
? The Congaree is slowly getting back
into its banks. The river fellseveralfeet
yesterday. Many bridges in the up
country must have been washed away, as
several of them have floated down the
river, past Neagle's Bridge.
? The Connecticut House of Repre?
sentatives has passed, by a vote of 106
yeas to 70 nays, a bill favorably reported
from the female suffrage committee, ex?
tending the ballot to women in certain
cases.
? Neagle's famous bridge is in no
danger as yet, and its owner remarks that
he has no fears for its safety from the at?
tacks of its natural enemy, as it is weighed
down with mortgages enough to hold it
in the face of a second deluge.
? Indiana Grand Lodge of Masons
has reinstated the clause in its regula?
tions against Masons using or selling
spirituous liquors, and has forbidden sub?
ordinate lodges to receive into member?
ship those addicted to their use.
? Aiken expects to be represented at
the Centennial exhibition by mocking?
birds singing by note?taught by Profes?
sor Brown, of that town. The birds have
already mastered the bars of "Yankee
Doodle" and "Star Spangled Banner."
? The New Orleans Picayune records
that Goy. Hayes was born m Vermont,
fought very well duiing the war, was
made a Brigadier General, and in that
capacity was whipped and captured by
the Confederate General Harry T.
Hays. '
? The Catawba river is said to be
booming?all the adjacent bottom lands
are several feet under water. It was high?
er than it was ever known to be before.
A mill house, intact, was seen floating
down the stream early Monday morning,
but was completely wrecked when it
struck the shoals at Landsford.
? A correspondent of the Wilmington
Journal who has visited Marion, Darling?
ton, Sumter, Richland, York and Fair
field Counties, reports that the crops in
all these counties were very fine, and al?
though much rain has fallen during the
past week, it is thought that the crops
were not injured.
? A colored man in Sumter pro?
nounced the late execution of Aleck
Lowry one of the "finest hangings that
ever took place in Sumter County." On
being asked for his reasons, the citizen
replied, "Why, sir, he give out two
Esalms, raised de tunes hisself, preached
is own funal, and wasunt scared a bit."
? A book agent who has retired from
active labor, upon the hard-earned accu?
mulation of a life of industrious cheek,
says that the great secret of his success
was, when he went to a house where the
female head of the family presented her?
self, he always opened by saying, "I beg
your pardon, Miss, but it was your moth?
er I wanted to see. That always used to
get 'em. They not only subscribed for
my books themselves, but told me where
I could find more customers."
? A Brooklyn girl having been visited
for some months by au exceedingly bash
ful gentleman brought on the wished-for
climax by the following ruse: He made
an afternoon call, and, after a few min?
utes waiting, she rushed into the parlor
equipped for the street, and said hastily:
"I am in a great hurry?have an engage?
ment with a lady friend, and if you came
for the purpose of proposing marriage
you must be quick about it." Wedding
early in the fall.
? Saturday a terrible cyclone origina?
ted near Pee Dee Bridge, in Marion
County and passed by the bridge and on
north of that place with great force. At
the railroad bridge it tore up the plat?
form planks, which are two inches thick
and spiked down and stove them through
the framing of the bridge. The support?
ing posts were twisted off like pipe steins,
and whirled through the air. Mr. Sess?
ions and two negroes grabbed the railroad
iron, but were about to be blown away,
and rolled down the embankment and
seized the body of a tree for a mainstay.
Several houses were blown down in the
vicinity of the bridge, and two or three
negroes crippled, and one killed.
? The Queen dowager of Sweden,
whose death was noticed the other day,
was the daughter of Eugene, the son of
Josephine and adopted son of the great
Napoleon. She was born in the splendor
of imperial days, and became the bride of
Bernadotte's son. Two of her sons be?
came kings. One of them is now on the
throne. It is strange, as showing how
time avenges everything, that while the
blood of Napoleon is on no throne in
Europe the blood of Josephine, who was
divorced, has become a royal strain, and
will probably continue. It was the
dream of the great conqueror's life to
found a royal line. His descendants are
outside of the royal circle, while the de?
scendants of his discarded wife reign still,
and bid fair to reign for generations.
? The political record of Hayes and
Wheeler during their services in Congress
is rabidly being investigated by Demo?
cratic members of the House. Hayes
was uniformly in favor of every land
grant and every subsidy brought before
the House during his membership, while
Mr. Wheeler, during his connection with
the Pacific Railroad committee, was a
prince among the Credit Mobilier sup?
porters, and advocated every measure of
any benefit to the land grabber. Both
nominees having accepted the honor on
a platform one of the principal planks of
which denounces such robbing measures
as Hayes and Wheeler supported, the
opinion is inferred that none know better
than they and their party how deeply
have the people of this country been
wronged by the indiscriminate donations
of public lands to railroad monopolies.
? A St Louis telegram, of Wednesday
night, says: "The Tilden men have not
developed their tactics or made much
demonstration, but their advance guard
will be largely reinforced by to-morrow's
arrivals. They have the decided advan?
tage of having both Democratic papers
here in their interest, in addition to the
popular feeling of the local population.
Altogether the indications are that the
contest is going to be keen and exciting,
as it was at Cincinnati last week. Ser
geant-at-Arms Thompson arrived here
this afternoon, and is stopping at the
Planters' House. He is for Thnrman
first and last, and all the time, and has
hopes of his man here proving the win?
ner in the end. The Ohio men here, he
says, will have to come to his support,'
and will put Hendricks out of the way.
It is said that we are to have the Liberal
Republican sides here as well as at Cin?
cinnati. John Cochran, of New York,
has engaged rooms here, and Carl Schurz
will also be on hand, ostensibly to deliv?
er a speech to his German fellow-citizens
on the evening of the Fourth of Jnlv.?
It is well known, however, that he is to
be here in the interest of Tilden. His
paper, the Westliche Post, has not yet
endorsed the Cincinnati ticket, ' ut says
it will wait to see the result of the Demo?
cratic deliberations here."
