adjourned to 10 o'clock a. m. Tuesday.
Any speculation aa to tho probable nom
inees would be useless, as before this issue I
reaches many of our readers the news of
tho.action of tho Convention will have j
bees received by them.
lt ia evident that the delegates bare
met with the determination to present
for tho s?ffrngo of the poople a good tick
et ; one that will command the confidence
and support of all who desire an honest
and constitutional government of the
country, and ono too that by virtue of its
merits will defeat, the Chicago nominar

?M'A macing bf thoNow York delega
tion in Cincinnati, on the 20th ! Instant,
Mr. R. W. Peckham, on? of the delegates,
presented Mr. Tilden's letter doc?iri?ng
tho nomination for the Presidency.. Thia
letter manifesta a noble abd. patriotic
spirit. It presents a distinct issue for the
ensuing1 political, contest, wbich ls para
mount to nil other, issues : whether the
people shall elect their rulers, or bribed
t:nd *XHTupt returning boards. Mr/ Tilden
heida' that to con?ono tho frauds 'thai
placed the Republicans in power nt tho
laat election is to constitute bribery, fraud,
corruption and force superior to the will
of the people, and to destroy free and
represeahiUvo, govprnnient. It may be
said that Mr. Tilden'* declination of a
renomination ia owing tb a tense of
inability to Becpre lt; this may be so,
and if so, ?hows that Mr. Tilden, although
defrauded by. tho most' nefarious means
of the highest honor a free people could
bestow, was willing for the sake of the
harmony and success of bis party, to
retire from tho political contest, and
leave history to do him justice.
If Mr. Tilden ?hould c=c:i his power
And influence toi the ?lection of the
nominees of tho Convention, ho witt de
monstrate hts patriotism, and pfove that
he ia more devoted to principio and the
establishment and perpetuation of free
government than to Ute advancement of
his personal ambition. If Mr. Tilden
>hnd continued his candidacy, it would
have very much embarrassed the Con
vention, and might haye led to the defeat
of the nominee. :Mr. Tilden's with
drawal w?a evidently to secure the har
mony and peace cf the party, and thus
Insure success, and for thia he mutt
receive the commendation of bia party.

the ignorance and credulity of bis far off

caus? of complaint anio jg the dp-coantry
leaders is that counties which bavo actual
Democratic majorities are not represent

Presidential Electors, tile delegates to
Cincinnati, or the Executive Committee.
Was there ever a more reckless statement
made? The Presidential Electors wera
nominated from different parts of the
State, ono : from each; Congressional Dis
trict, and one was nominated from An
derson County, which gives a large actual
Democratic majority ; and Anderson baa
one of the representatives to Cincinnati,
and also a member of tho State Exccu
tttive Committee.
The Democracy of Anderson are mi ted
and identified with the Democracy of tho
State and of the United States, contend
ing for an honest, economical asd upright
administration of the State and Federal
governments, and the perpetuation of

SOME HORE RADICAL LIES.
Tho Varietal Htrtcto-Fotcn, of, PoUtlcal Odds

Cvrreijmuleilce of The New York Times, 'jj
CHARLESTON, S. C., Juno ll.
Much has been said in tho South Caro
lina newspapers about restored harmony
in tho Democratic party, and the v narai
acquiescence in the result of thu /ccent
Democratic State Convention. These aa
BuranccB loo'.; well on paper, and sound
well in tito ears of the Hampton men,
but there is not the slightest particle of
truth iu them. A brief visit to the upper
counties wilt convince the most obtuse
observer that the discomfiture of the Gary
faction by tho State House ring hos Wid
ened the breach between the two factions.
While tho counsel of tho moro prudent
of Gary's friends may carry some weight
and prevent the nomination of another
ticket, it is safe tb predict that Ibo Gary
men, or "atraightouts," will not Bupport
tho ticket forced upon them by the Ha
Scod men. In. Edgefield, Abbovillo, An
orson, Ocr.nce, Pfckoiis and Greenville
Counties tho feeling is most bitter, and
the prospects of an independent move
ment are freely discussed. Tho chief
grievances aro the intolerable arrogance
of tho aristocratic " bull-dozers" control
ling the Hampton or, erroneously termed,
'.'Fusion" wing of the Sooth Carolina
Democracy, who look upon tho State as
their property, and the working and mid
dle classes na tneir vassals ; high taxation,
which amounts to.slow confiscation of tho
property owned by the agricultural classes;
the obnoxious fence law, which protects
the. rich and prevents the poor from rais
ing or owning cattle. Tue hardship of
the latter ia most seriously felt in tho
mountain di Griots. Undor tho old cattle
law were allowed to roam at largo, which
enabled the poor to raiao their annual
Bupply of moat without much cost. Tho
new law compela a " fenc'ng-in " of stock
and enforces the expense of Teeding cattle
on all who own no grasslands. Nine-tenths
of the Inhabitants of the districts above
named own only a fow acres of cultivated
land, in a corner of which their hogs and
cows are peuned up,. slowly, starving to
death. Men who have grown gray in the
Democratic party openly assert that thev
will never vote another Democratic tickot.
Another cause of complaint among the
up-country leaders is that tho counties
which havo actual Democratic mhjoritica
are not represented on the State ticket
nor among tho J?resldcntia? ?lectora, the
delegates to Cincinnati, or tho Executive
Committee. " Tho truth Is," said a prom
inent Edgefield politician a fow days ago,
" we aro tired ot our aristocratic masters,
and want ft chango. lu tho Columbia
Convention they started out with a Gen
eral and wound np witb a Colonel, and
?ven tent so far aa to provide for us an
other mauler to mle ofter Hagood. lam
alluding to General Brstton, wh?m they
elected chairman of the Executive Com
mittee. Anticipating a national triumph,
they have already fixed up a slate for the
Federal appointments in this State: Col

District Judge Bryan ; Major Barker for

THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
The Cond'?ion ot th? Field Sunday Mg ut.
gjKcial Vbpa?ehrt to the Newt and Courier.
CINCINNATI, Juno 20.
The political situation baa' some sali
ent points, tho most noteworthy of
which are the chaotic condition of the
New York delegation and the attitude of
the Indiana delegation. It is asserted
and not denied that a letter of ex-Gover
nor Tilden is in possession of his brother
here, to be produced nt the proper time,
in which le'.ter the recluse of Gramery
Park declines to allow his name to be
placed io nomination for president. Tho
belief is that he bas a faint hope that in
a spasm of remorseful gencroaity thc
Convention will then nom/nato him in
spite of himself. Of this there is no
possible chance, and Lhere is a bard fight
for the Tilden delegates. Speaker Ran
dall was promised tucse delegates by
Tilden in return for the work Randall
has done in the House of Representa
tives, it ia said. But Payne, of Ohio,
is the happy possessor of a similar pledge
for a different consideration, and tu him
Tilden will Uiru overas many delegates
as be cac control. Randolph's friends
are indignant that tho breach of faith
ahould be against their favorite, and will
give Payne no quv.ter.
There is no telling where the Nev
York delegation will now go; and it ie
quite likely that Randall and Payne
wiil cut each other'? throats. Neither
hts any chance of getting tho first place
on the tickot os thirka stand, but until
they were thrown iuto antagonism by
Tilden';; duplicity they bad some
strength, and Randall even now is spo
ken of for Vier President if a Western
man takes tho nomination for President.
It is conceded that tbs Democrats
must nominate a ticket that will carry
New York and Indiana and make Con
necticut and New Jersey safe. No man
hos yet been named unless it be Randall,
to whom the two 'actions in New York
would have glv?.-r their wholo votes.
Thia, at least, is the Now York view of
it. It is urged also that no Western
man can parry New York, but tho Indi
ana delegation tell me that they cannot
undertake to carry their Stato unless
Hendricks be nominated for President,
and further that Hendrick, will take no
other nomination, nor will Indiana bo
holpcd by the nomination of McDonald
ana English for Vice-president. To
insure Indiana in October and November
Hendricks must bo tho standard-bearer.
Between the two stools, New York and
indiana, the Democrats aro inn precari
ous position; but I am confident that
some means of accommodation will bo
rnnnhed.
Nothing can be said definitely of the
actual voting Btrength of tho loading
candidates! Field bas by far tho best
workers and a complete organization, and
claims 168 votes on tho first ballot. The
Field movement has neither confidence
ia nor affection for tho candidate as ita
foundation. It ?B machino made and 1
expect it to fall to pieces.
Jowett's frienda aro active and hope
ful and as a railroad magnate coming
from Ohio and living in New York if
supposed to bb peculiarly available. Il
ia too early to say more.
I ' Hancock io a possibility and coming
slowly out of tho darkness.
Bayard has no bureau, no barrel anc
no boom. Prov'dence is expected tc
I take care of him, apparently, and then
is a sad lack of pushlnnd activity. Ye
his representatives claim for bim 20(
votes to start with. Bayard has .mort
real strength thau any other candidate
bot it is allowed to remain latent, whili
other candidates are strained to the ut
most and their beet points harped upoi
in and out of eoason.

A Word on the Other Side.
Col. E. B. C. Cash, ono of the princi
pals'in the attempted Cash-DeP?ss duel,
makes the following observations in an
article in the Carolina f>'un, published at
Cheraw, on the Camden and Kershaw
Anti-Duelling Association, which hos
been organized at Camden since the diffi
culty referred to occurred, ii ?rill be re
membered that Coi. DePass is a citizen
of Camden, and that Col. Cash is a citi
zen of Chesterfield:
"Wo are informed that this Camden
association ls composed of men wbo will
do their whole duty, aud put an end to
the- "criminal" practice of duelling.
Camden has grown pious, very slow,
very! As long as ber man would fight,
wo heard not one word ?bout the "crim
inal practice of duelling." For years
that section has been regarded as the
Galway of the State, and only a abort
time ago. Williams and Courtney were
permitted to leave the town to fight duela
-there was no bowling on tho ?o occa
sions. Williams and Courtney were will
ing fo ?ght and were not molested; but
j?ct so soon as two of tho leading citizens
of the town strike their colors * * ?
* * up pops an anti-duelling society
* * and I suppose with every braggart
and bully in the town as members, ouch
an association will bo a bomb-proof and
God-send to all tho liars, slanderers and
cowards of the place. Thoy can speak
of their neighbors as they please, and
when called to account, will "shirk" their
responsibility by pleading membership
of this association. What a pity this
movement had not been inaugurated two
weeks ago I It would have served as a
coat of mail for on intimate friend and
ulose connection of this pious Pr?sident,
and saved a vast amount of white-wash
ing rendered necessary by recent events.
The urch-angols take lc upon themselves
to denounce as "criminals" the acts of
mon who are os far their superiors as the
eagle is superior of tho buzzard, These
poor creatures denounce aa "criminals"
such men as Andrew Jackson, Henry
C|ay, John Rutledge, Commodore Perry
and thousands of others of. the best and
purest men who inhabit the civilized
portion of the world. In their agony,
and for the present occasion, they would
dpnounce as "criminals" nqr .own Perry,
and Gist, and McDuffie, and Dunnoveut,
Legare, and Bbett, and Taber, and Mar
grath.
"Will this army corps of seraphs and
cherubs tell us poor deluded creatures
what they proposo as a substitute for the
duel? Will they bo BO kind as to sug
gest some better and more humane plan
by which the weak. can bo pat apon a
footing with the,strong? Will they tell
us how tb'j pigmy is to meot the (nant?
Or, are they such .fools os to think tho
Mylenium is at hand? or that from date
of their first meeting all strife and conten
tion wifi cease tbrougbout tho world ?"
The Work of Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 16.
During the session of Congress that
terminated to-day 1,197 bills and joint
resolutions were introduced in the Senate
and 4,288 in tho House; during tho first
or extra session, 773 and 2,526 were in
troduced in. tho Senate and House re
spectively; 'making .a grand tcV. of
8,784 bills and' joint resolutions intio
du'eed thus far during the present Con-'
gress. ? ;
At the hour of adjournment to-drty
there remained 800 bills and joint reso
lution., ou the Sennte calendar and about'
1,400 on' the HOUBB calendar.
The amount appropriated during tho
present session, included in the regular
annual appropriation bills, the river aud
harbor bill, toe deficiency bills and mis
cellaneous appropriation bills, aggregates
about $186,000,000.
The following important public meas

on the Speaker's table: Bill to regulate
customs duties on sugar; bill to reg?late
the customs duties, known' as the Tucker

Senator Bayard's Father.
James Asheton Bayard, the father of
Thoa. Francis Bayard, died at bis home,'
io1 Washington, Del., early on Sunday
-norning. He was himself a Senator from
?ha* State, and waa elected four seperato
timts. He was the eon of James Ashe
ton Bayard, one of the most distinguish
ed statesman of his time, and his ances
tors were Marylanders. The first of the
American Bayards was Samuel, a French
Huguenot, who came to this country in
1647, with a daughter and three sons,
from whom all the American Bayards are
descended. Jamed Asheton, who bas
just died, was in tho Blet year of his age.
He wau fi rat elected to the Senate in
I860. He resigned whon tho civil war
broke out, indignant ' at thc iron-clad
oath, which however, ho took ; was re
elected in 1863, and again, to fill a va
'caney, in 1869, ho and bis son, Thomas
F. Bayard, being elected the samo day
and occupying contemporary seats in tho
Senais, James A. uayard was a remarka
ble man in many Ways, stern in manners,
yet of such commanding ability that his
constituents esteemed as much as they
ft." 1 him. He Wes a mao of large
frame, powerful constitution, and very i
j absent-minded ways. During his third
term in the Senate, having money to in
vest, be was offered some of tho Credit
Mobilier stock by Oakes Arnes, but re
fused to ?oucb lt because he might in
some way have to vote on matters con*
nected with it ir. tho Senate. He was
an "original" Democrat, having first run
for Congress in 1828 est? "Jackson man."

GAFFNEY CITY, June li).
Mw. W. M. Miller, upon returning to
lier house in this town after a abort ab
sence yesterday, found a negro man in
her room with bb hs toff, and a bludgeon
at bis side, engaged in rifling ber trunk.
She ordered bim to leave' whereupon he
seized a bundle that be had made of
some of Mrs. Miller's property, and fled.
Two colored men, who had been- robbed
by the same man and were in pursuit of
him, came up about this time and fol
lowed him, losing him, however, after a
chase of haifa mile.
During the afternoon a party was or
ganized and went in search of the crimi
nal. All relinquished it at midnight,
except Mr. Miller, whose house had been
entered. He continued the quest and
was successful at at an carly nour this
morning, finding the negro asleep in a
ditch. Upon being called ha rose, yawn
ing, and, when Mr. Miller drew a pistol
and ordered bim to march toward town,
ran. Mr. Miller's pistol failed to go off,
but Laving another he drew it aud fited.
The negro stopped, seized e. fence rail
and showed fight, but dropped it and ran
again. He then stopped and. drew a pis
loi. By this time other white men, at
ti neted by tho firing, appeared, and thc
negro, still showing fignt, fired on him.
A sort of running tight was kept up un
til tho man fell, shot in the side of his
stomach. He was conveyed to the town
calaboose, and a physician summoned,
who pronounced his im'uries probably
fatal.-Cor. Greenville Newe.

Boiling Springs, in which Burnett was
killed by Vinson with a shot gun, the

A Brutal Assault.
Arthur Hynes, colored, was brought to

last Wednesday in a fearfully bruissd
condition, and ia now lying at bis home,
No. 7 Beresford street, half dead from bia
injuries, ilia left aim ia broken, hi*
lett eye almost put out, his legs skinned,
his shoulder cut and bitten, and bis en
tire body bruised in a most shameful,
manner. Some of the wound seems to
have been inflicted with a hot iron, end
in many places the akin is'peeled off,
and tho raw and bloody flesh laid bare.
Tho case was reported yesterday te Trial
Justice Rivets, who will investigate it tn
day.
Hynes waa employed on a flat boat
belonging to Capt. Habenicbt which
plied between the city and tho neighbor
ing klands. Hynes' wife says that bo
went to Toogoodoo for a load of rosin
about tbreo weeks ego. She had heard
nothing from him until last Wednesday,
whea he was brought to the city in the
flat boat and tumbled out on Southern
wharf in a semi-conscious condition.
The wounded man ia unable to give as
yet any account of how his injuries were
received, but his wife alleges that they
were inflicted by Capt. Habenicht on Ina
fiat boat because Hynes did no row to
suit bira.
Ur. Bellinger made an examination of
the injured man yesterday and found
him in a most pitiable condition. He M
too weak to talk, and unless soute
