The nomination of Garfield and Ar thur muddies the presidential race. We must . omiuate our strongest and beat I men. It might not be a bad idea to make the ticket Hancock sud Potter. Poor Blaine. He has long been in sight of the White House, but alas, like hundreds of better men who have seemed like him to bo almost there,' he Always fails to get there. It is pitiable to be ss r.c-r, and yet to remain BO far off. Gol. Robert G. Ingersoll, the noted in fidel, is Blaine's chief manager at the Chicago Convention. A well informed contemporary says that the fact that In gersoll does not believe in n God renders it very appropriate that he should believe iu Jim Blaine. The nomination of Garfield and Ar thur by the Republicans is a very strong one, and will unite all factions of the party. With the best ticket we ran pos sibly nominate against them tl; ere will he no child's play in tho presidential canvass this year. .-.... iiwl. , Geb. John B.

Thara waa no effort a?, display on the part of tony member of the Convention, and all seemed to have a common and earnest desire to do that wblcb was best for South Carolina and for tho Democratic party. There were differences of opinion, which were earn estly and persistently fought for by those differing, but there was not one which amounted to more than a difference as to policy, and that, too, upon questions of policy about which tho people of tba State cared nothing, except so far as the decision might effect the common i nd the certainly of carrying the coiuinr election. This being ibo caso there is nothing strange ia the satisfactory result? reached by tb? Convention. The pro priety of June nominations being settled by a majority of nineteen votes ended the difft once with all, excep? a few who kate to admit that they could ever be mistaken about anything, and oven they were in full accord with the purpose? and results of thc Convention. There was singular unanimity of choice as to candidates in tho Convention. Cen. Hagood was the first choice of at least one hundred and thirty out of tbe one hundred and fifty-eight delegates, and of the candidates said to bo before the Con vention be would have received one hundred and forty-seven votes, which practicably amounted to unanimity. It waa not, therefore, to bo wondered that he was. unopposed in the Convention, and was nominated by acclamation with out a dissenting voice. The only opposi tion manifested to the remainder of the ticket was consequent to a disposition as far as possible to distributo tho ticket over the State, and, although this bas not boan <V- e as completely aa would have been deferable, the Convention bas done it? work well, and receives the apprecia tion and approval of the people of the whole State ; for although tbero is not a man on the ticket from a large section of the up-country, still we have the satisfac tion of knowing that there is ont a man upon tho ticket who is other timi fully capable and qualified.to discbarge effi ciently and satisfactorily the duties of the office for which ho has been nomi nated. Sectional linea were completely ignored in tho Convention, aa they should be, and members voted as citizens of South Carolina, and'not as residents of any particular portion of the State. It was certainly pleasant to cee the rep resentatives from tho very mountain counties voting for Gen. Kennedy for Lieutenant-Governor, and the represen tatives from Charleston voting for Col. Lipscomb for Secretary of State, -.a though in each instance men nearer the representatives indicated wero put before the Convention. In tho selection of this ticket circum stances bavo given to the lower and mid dle country nearly the whole State ticket, and it may prove beat, for in the conn ties with large Republican majorities .there io a great deal of genuine hard work to bo done, which will require all of the local enthusiasm and encourage' mont which can be given to secure Dem ocratio victories in them. The most sol idly Democratic counties in the Stat? presented no candidates to the Conven' tion, and of course got no places or the ticket. This course on the part o these counties will not lose its effect uoor tho future of South Carolina, and whet the work in November la over we have no doubt the wisdom and patriotism o: our whole people will stand forth mor< conspicuous than ever, and no meat place'in tb? appreciation and gratitud* of the State will bo assigned these conn' ties whiob have asked for. none of tb? offices, but whiob propose to do a verj large and important part of the voting The nominees of the Democratic part] and its platform are before the people and as sure aa the ides of Novcmboj arrive they will be carried to a triumph ant Victory nt the polls. Tbe canvas will not actively open until alter th; crop? haye been. laid by, and then tb< Btate; expects every man to do his duty The campaign will bo kept jost as hot ai may be necessary to ensure victory. Tbi pressure from the opposition will, in i larg? measure, determine .the course o the canvass, but one thing is certain and that is, that os roach timo and wori and effort will bo invested in this cam palgu as. may be n coolary to render th election of the ticket at the bead of the* columns absolutely eafe. Tho people of Camden are determine? to put a atop to the carrying Of conceal? weapons and to dueling if Town ord! Dances and antl-duellng associations cai effect it. The Town Council of tha place has passed an ordinance forbidding tho carrying of concealed weapons withli the corporate limit? of the town, and OJ last} Thursday caning the organiz&tloi ?i th? "Camden and Kershaw anti-Duel lng Association" was perfected, witl Judge J. B. Kershaw aa president. Th abjects of ibo association shall bo "t train, educate and organise the publi opinion and moral sense of the people t ? true perception of tue criminality .c this wicked and pernicious practice. T take proper measures to procure an ad (uaimcct of all personal difficulties wk-' might, tend to involve any of our ?.'.#?. citltona in a duel.

Similar assocbtfona in otb towns of tho State might be organist and conducted to the. general weift*? society and the public morals of o country. Dueling is a pintie* of tl pwt, and should be buried with it. T association in Camden will command fi rospect of Chu people bf the whole Stol for lt .?eck? to' co^ecjt an etfl Whiob. becoming entirely too t^rwpou of 1? yeAva iaSoaUiCwolfua. Tho?cu?bra, composing tba organization have act a worthy example to their fellow-citizens of other portions of the State. Who will te first to follow.this example? B. B. Elliott, in the nomination of ctn? didates at tho Chicago Convention, said that if any candidate goes into the com ing canvas} relying upou the vote of any Southern State for bis election he would fail, ?te said : "We may put the votes in the ballot-box, but we aro powerless to have them counted for tho nominee." In the first part of what be said Elliott ?.as perfectly correct. No Republican can carry any Southern State, but Elliott seeks to furnish as campaign thunder a statement which ho cannot substantiate and which facts do not warrant. South Carolina went Democratic in 187C, when thc Republicans bad the boards of can vassers and managers of election. It is certain that they counted all the Repub lican votes which were put in the boxes, and, in some instances, it is believed a few thousand extra votes were enume rated for the Republican side. The ex cd?) lies in something else than an unfair co.tiit The trouble to the Radicals is that tho Democrats out-vote them in tho Southern States, aud they had as well own up and quit wasting their time in politics.' Republicanism in the South bus buriod itself forever in its own cor ruption and venality. Tho Republicans cannot boast of a harmonious Convention at Chicago. The rival factions bave been bitter aud fierce towards each other, and scars of thc bat tle will remain for a loug time to weaken and jeopardize the supremacy of Radi calism. There may bo a quasi support of tho nominee by all of tho leaders, but St may bo put down as reasonably sure tbat many of the defeated men are not going to give themselves a groat deal of trouble about carrying tho election. It may hurt thom to be beaten, but still they would take nuch pleasure in telling the winning meu after their candidato IB defeated "I told you so." The Grconbackera and Democrats of) Maine have nominated the same ticket for State officers, with Con. Harris M. Plaist>d, of Bangor, as tbe candidate for Governor. Ho was for years s Republi can, and the nominatiou ?B said to be a very strong one, so much so that the Boston Herald naya that if Blaine is not nominated at Chicago the State of Maine will bocomo one of tho most doubtful acd hotly contested States in tho Union in the coming presidential campaign. Things do not seem to be going altogeth er serene for tho Republicans this year. Er.riy or Late Nominations. In an editorial upon this subject tho Newt and Courier cays : We are confident that tho action of the State Convention will receive the ap proval of tho Democracy of the State. The Committee on Resolutions, consum ing of one delegate from each county, reported a resolution in favor of early nominations, embodying a request to the State Committee "to open the State can vass at such timo os, in their judgment, will least disturb the agricultural in terests of the State" The vote upon the motion to substitute the minority report, in favor of August nominations, was 67 to 86, and the majority report was adop ted by a vote of 84 tn ?8. A majority of j counties and of dr -orates were in favor of immediate nominations. It was bold ly assorted that the majority vote in the Convention did not represent a majority of the D?mocratie vote, but the returns of the last State election tell a different tale. Ranging the several counties for and against June nominations, and tak ing as tbe basis of the calculation the vote for Hampton in 1878, the result is as follows : For June. Against June.

GABFUOD WISH AB A DABK UOB6E, Th O' Republican Platform and Tiomlnoo Tb? End of tirant and Blaine. Tbe Convention which assembled in Chicago on the 2nd inst, was one of the most intensely exciting meetings which bes ever been held by the Republicans. The delegates arrived cnrly, and the greatest electioneering aud manipulation possible was begun from tho very Grst by the managers of the respective candi dates. At first it was rumored that Grant had the organization of tho Con vention through Don Cameron, chairman of the National Republican Executive Committee, but the committee, on whicb a majority of the members were ajtl Grant men, decided to depose him if he did not act fairly, upon which ho grace fully submitted to the inevitable, and agreed to nominate for temporary chair man Hon. George F. Hoar, of Massa chusetts. Mr. Hoar was unanimously elected temporary chairman, and after wards permanent president of tbe Con vention, which gave tho organization, its committees, ana so forth, to the anti Grant party. The whole of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, together with the greater part of Saturday, was consumed in deciding the cases of contesting dele gations. These decisions wore, for the most part, unfavorable to tho Grant party, be losing eighteen vetes by it from the State of Illinois alone. The Convention then adopted a rule abrogating the pre vious rule, which required the States te voto solidly, giving the majority of ti delegation from a State the right to casi the whole vote of tho delegation. Undet tho new rule, by which members voved as they pleased, Grant lost, in addition to the eighteen votes from Illinois twenty-six from Pennsylvania, and nine' teen from New York, besides quito i number of delegates from ot'ier States The following Executive Cocimit.ee wai then elected for the next four years : Alabama, Paul Stroeback ; Arkansas S.

The committee on platform next mad its report, which was adopted, and c which tho following is a synopsis : The resolutions, after viewing the ad ministration of the Republicau party, as for the continued confidence and suppbi of the people, and Bubmit for their ar. proval the following statements of tn principles and purposes which will coe tinue to inspire it: First. The work of the last 21 yeai has been Buch as commends itself to tb favor of the nation, and the . .ii to of pat victories should be preserve--'. The die severed Union happily restored BIIOUI be perpetuated, credit should never b impaired, and reviving industries be fui Iber promoted. ' Second. The Constitution is a suprem law and not a mere contract of confede: ated States. It. mode the sovereign States it made the Nation. Some powers are d? Died to the Nation, while others are d< uied to the States, but tho boundary b< tween the powers delegated and th os reserved is to be determined by the Nt lion and not by the State tribunals. Third. Popular education is to be le to the care of the States, but it is tb iuty of the National Government to ai that work to the extent of ita Constitt tiona! authority. Fourth. The Constitution should I amended so os to forbid tho Legislate af each State making any lav/ respectlc the establishment of religion, ana so i to forbid the appropriation of publ funds to the support of sectarian school Fifth. Duties levied for tho purpose < revenue should so discriminate as to fi vor American labor. No farther gran of public domain should be made to rai way corporations. Slavery, having pe isbed in the States, its twin barbarit polygamy, muet die in the territorio Everywhere protection should be a corded to citizens of American adoptio The party acknowledges its obligatio to the men who preserved its integrity I the hour of battle. Congress and tl treaty-making power should restrain at limit Chinese immigration. Seventh. Endorses the administrant of Hayes. Eighth. Tho Democratic party to o tain possession of the National and Sta governments, and contrcl of place at position, have obstructed all effort Sremote purity and to conserve frc om of suffrage, and have devised frau aient certificates and returns-ha' labored to unseat lawfully elect tnember* of Congress, to secure at ? hazards the vote of the majority of Stat in the House of Representatives. Ha endeavored to occupy by force and frai places cf trust given to others by t people of Malpe, which attempt was i tented by i the Courage and action Maine's patriotic sons. Have attach partizan legislation to appropriation bi upon which tho very exercise of govei ment depended. Have crushed the rigl of individuals, advocated the princip1 and sought the favor of rebellion agon the nation, and endeavored to obliten the sacred memories of war and overcoi [ts inestimably valuable resulta of i lionallty. personal freedom and indiv ual equality. Tho equal enforcement law and'the protection'of all citizens the enjoyment of all privileges and I munittes guaranteed by the Constituti are the first duties of tho nation. T danger of a aolid South can only be av ted by the faithful performance of ev? promise which the nation boa made tts citizens. The execution of the la and the punishment, of all those who olato them are the only safe moth? with which enduring pei**? can be cursd and genuine prosper.../ establisi throughout tho South. Tho Solid Sot must be divided by the psascral agen-: of tho ballot, and opinions must there fl freer expression, and to this end hon votes must be protected against terr [sm, violence and fraud. Tho nomination of candidates i next proceeded with, and the 'follow! nominations wcro put before the 0? van?rtn t James P. Joy, of Michigan,- roso i took the platform In response to noni ous calls. After come reference to public life of bf* proposed noraineo presented for nomination ' to tho Pr aency James G. Blaine. Tho ment ol the name was received' with gn demonstrations of applause. Tho renewed mention of Blaine's us *t tho conclusion of Joy's speech i the signal for another wild sceno of c fusion and excitement, the larger ball the audience and all the Blaine dolegt rising and cheering vociferously,' wav Bags,- fans, bats, umbrellas, Ac, n frantically. "The lady who waa so r soi eu ous in the remarkable scene night is enid to be Mrs. Chas. F. Deems, widow of a soldier, of New York, and the flag which she displayed is said to have been Lincoln's. She was present again to-nij,ht on the platform swinging ber flag in >u?e band and ber fan in the other, and cheering like mad, until tho bystanders pulled her down from ber i seat and tore the flag in tatters in their efforts to take it from her, while she folded it about ber person and struggled for its possession. Tbe confusion con tinued fully ten minutes, when a loud voiced delegate succeeded in attracting attention, and demanded to know wheth- j er the Convention was not capable of firotecting itself from the mob io the gal- j eries. I Pixley seconded the nomination of1 Blaine io a speech of considerabe length, j When Minnesota was called, E. F. Drake presented the name of Wm. Win dom, which was also received with great, but speedily subsiding applause. When New York was called Conkling rose, mouutcd the reporter's platform and then took a position on the reporter'a table. Ho, too, was received with long continuod and vociferous, though not such a general or apparently spontaneous cheering. His mention of the name of Grant was received with renewed demon strations lasting two or three minutes. The speech was an eloquent panegyric on the life ond services of Grant. The need of the hour, he said, was not a can didate who could carry States which are surely Republican, but one who can carry doubtful States South as well as North. Grant could carry the doubtful State of Nev York, and several lr. thc South. [Applause.J He briefly reviewed the third term objection to Grant, and urged that it waa no objection to any man weighed in the balance and not found wanting. [Cries of "time, time."J Conkling paid no attention to-bese cries and was soon permitted to proceed. To wards the conclusion he said the Con vention was master of a supreme oppor tunity. It could make the next I resi dent, and also make sure of bia peaceful inauguration. It can break that power which mildews the South. Democratic success ia a menace to order and progress, h ich this Convention can overthrow and emancipate the aolid South. It can make the Republican army march to certain victory, with its T.'eateat marshal at its head. As Conkling took his seat there was another scene of disorder and immense cheering by the supporters of Grant, which continued fifteen minutes. Bradley, of Kentucky, seconded Grant's [nomination in a brief but elo quent five minutes' speech. When Ohio was called, Garfield, amid great cheering, advanced to the ramo po sition which Conkling had occupied, and, when order was restored, said that be was always touched by the sentiments in honor ot a great and noble roan. He had seen tho sea in its fury of storm. It was n grand sight ; but ho remembered that, after all, it is the calm level of the sea from which all heights and depths are measured. He counselled them to a calm and quiet consideration in the hour of determining their duties. He nomi nated John Sherman. [Note by tbe Reporter.] The applause and noise which followed Sherman's nomination came from those who made up in their persistent effort what they lacked in numbera. The Chair did not seem to feel coiled upon to mako any effort t ) check it, and JO much additional time was wasted until finally a storm of hissea reduced the unruly members and spectators to comparative quice. Winkler, of Wisconsin, and Elliott, of South Carolina, (colored) seconded Sher man'? nomination, the latter taking the opportunity niso to pay a graceful com Sliment to Blaine. He said if any can idate went into a canvass relying on the vote of any Southern State for his elec tion be would fail. We may put the votes in the ballot-box, fc?it we are pow erless to haye them cor mod for the norn inee. Vermont being calli d Billings rose to put in nomination the name of Senator Edmonds os the most fitting name to be berne upon the Republican banner. The nomination waa aeconded by Sandford, of Massachusetts. Cassiday, of Wisconsin, presented tho name of Elihu B. Washburne, of Illi nois, as that of a man who would give unity to the party, and who is at once capable and worthy of public confidence, which his merits command. Woshburne's name wa? received with marked approval. Brandage, of Connecticut, seconded the nomination. Thia, he said, was a faith ful, sterling Republican whose name was the only name sure of carrying every doubtful State, and thus securing victory for Republican principles. Ho urged that Waahburno's name wonld rally tho German vote, ana thus secure New York and redeem Connecticut, and aid powerfully in securing the Republican control of tho National Senate. The speech was one of tho strongest of the night, but the lato hour forbida justice in its report. On motion of Moree, of Massachusetts, the Convention at 11.50 adjourned till 10 a. m. Monday. On Monday morning the balloting began, and the first vote resulted aa fol lows : Grant 804, Blaine 284, Sherman 93, Edmunds 84, Washburne 80, Win don! 10. During the day twenty-eight ballots wero bad without any striking changes. The last ballot stood : Grant 807, Blaine 279, Sherman 92, Edmunde 81, Wash burne 85, Windom 10, Garfield 2. On Tuesday the ballotting was renew ed, and continued up to the thirty-sixth ballot, Tho last three stood as follows : Grant 812, Blaine 275, Sherman 101, Edmunda ll. Washburne 82, Windom 4, Garfield 17. ' Grant 818, Blaine 257, Sherman 10!, Edmunds ll, Washburne 23, Windom 8, Garfield 60. Grant 811, Blaine 42, Garfield. 397. Gen. John A. Garfiold having received a majority of all tbe votes of tho Con vention waa declared duly nominated for President, amid the wildest excitement and tremendous applauso. Ex-Collector Arthur, of New York, was on first ballot nominated for Vice President, and tho Convention having ^completed its business adjourned tine die on Tuesday, the 8th inst, having been in session EIX dova. ltAOK-PEBJUDICR AT THE NORTH. Neto Yovb; June 1.-As the colored com panies, composing the rear of tho Deco ration procession, yesterday, were return ing from Cypress Hill Cemetery to the station of the Rapid Transit Road, in East New York, they were assaulted by a gang of roughs, and a riot ensued, in which a policeman named Halfield re ceived a dangerous sabre cut on bia bead. The colored men are said to- havo 'charged on the police and roughs alike, but being overpowered by numbers were compelled to run for their lives. Tho strata were filled v.* i th an exolted sob, and several persons injured. The cap tain and ic/gcant of the Veteran Colored Guard were arrested.

WALTKUBORO', Jane 4.-An accident ard most remarkable escape from immi nent danger happened to our worthy sheriff, Robert Ulrick, Esq., while cross ing Buck Head Causeway, twelve mile? from our town, on Sunday last. Return ing home with bis wife and tkre*r little ones in his buggy, in crossing a bridge bis horse refused to pass over a hole :n it and begun backing. The structure being very steep, ridiculously so, facilitated the movement of the horse, when in a trice the vehicle and ita occupants were pre cipitated into the creek, tho horse re maining perched with his fore legs on the bridge dangling above the terror struck family. Moro remarkable still, this po sition was held by the horse not ouly till the party could get out of the buggy, but for the space of a half-hour at least, os Mr. Black thinks. For one of his feet getting entangled in some way he cannot well account for, he had to ?sk the assistance of a friend who luckily was crossing the bridge at tue same time, and who, after extricating Mr. B., who was not able to walk from tho injury to his ankle in tho fall, next cut the harness from the horse. After all this the friend went for assistance on foot to a farm j house three-quarters of a mile distant, and returned with assistance, all afoot, to within one hundred feet of the bridge before the horse fell from sheer ex haustion. The timo, therefore, which the animal sustained himself by bis fore legs and jaws, by pressing bis under-jaws on the bridge, is not over-calculated we think. It is singular, too, no ono was j jolted from the buggy in tho fall nor in I jured in the slightest, save Mr. Black, whoso ankle was wrenched in some way, and though painful, not at all seriously injured ; while the horse, in making the amends for the mishap by not falling on bis master, received no lunn aftet flop ping down from his perch.-Correspon dence oj the News and Courier. COL. CASH AND COL. DKrAss.-Co lumbia, June 4.-A meeting, yesterday, on the State line, near Cheraw, between Col. Cash and pol. Dcpass, was prevented by the arrest of the latter at Chesterfield Court House. Col. Cash and bis party were on the ground when Col. Blair, the second for Capt. Depass, arrived with information of the arrest. - Richard B. Connolly, who was Con troller under tho Tweed Ring in New York, died in France the other day. He is said to have Btolen $8,000,000 aud ab sconded with the larger part of it. He offered to compromise for $G0O,O00; but the offer was declined. He is said to have bad great remorse, but did not maLn /(? - ti ti- tion. Tho bulk of his stolen fortune was lost in speculation. - The recent splendid discoveries of gold in White, Lumpkin, Dawson, and, indeed, all over Northeast Georgia, h&s done moro to develop this magnificent mining region than all the newspauer writing and individual talking that has been done since the war. These practi cal demonstrations are bringing in hosts of experienced miners and capitalists to develop the. hidden treasures of this sec tion and of the Blue Ridge Mountains and their rich place? valleys.-Gaines ville Southon.
