E. B. MUH RAY, Editor. THURSDAY, APRIL 17 ISM. TEBMB : OSE TEAS..-.Sl.fiO. SIX MONTH.-. -5r Two Dollar? li not paid in atlvnoce. The Republican State Con vi :<ti >n met tn Columbia on Tuesday, and nv? largely attended Ly tLc officeholders. It waa thought that the body would be controll ed by tbe officeholders, and that they would ruu it in thc interest ol the ad ministration. It is, therefore, probable that the delegates from tbi* Stale will te for/Arthur iii the N?itiou?l Convention. An exchange eayi (bat tbe e'tttiw. for delegates to thc National Republican Convention har'- 60 far indicated that Arthur, Logan and* Edmund* stand no chance of a nomination; The j-nue seems to te be'.we?ij Liai-.e. Linc lu and a ditrk Lorre, with chane?* in favor ol one of the two latter. Blaine al way H ha^ a strong following, but is never strong enough to be Dominated. The ?lorry ProgrcH think-, that there should Lea change ju thc basis of rep resentation ?ti tho State Democratic Convention?, io thal a County ?hall Le represented propor.hu to its Demo cratic voter- only. The trouble about carrying this BUggesth n in'." < tl < : would Lc in telling how marty Democratic vo ters live in the rt v* ra? Counties. We had better let well enough alone, and let our organization go 0:1 a.- it has done heretofore. ^ There arc strong indications now that thc Democrat!! may take Senat ?r Bayard for their Presidential candida e if -Mr. Tilden refases to run. Mr. I lay a rd i?. and has Leen for year*, </)r lind choice for the nomination. His high character and clear and conservative record viould, we believe, ensure bis election. If the wrangler:, in the Democratic patty can in duce our Convention to nominate such a man as Mr. Bay aid, it will mo c than compensate for all the damage that they can do. Wo .publish elsewhere thc letter of Senator Butler, relative to bis position upon the Educational Hill, which Las recently pawed thc Senate. The Senator is eomewhat nettled nt the strong criti cism upon him for changing front on this measure, and speaks plainly his mind as to them. We have no doubt that he was actuated by proper motives in asMiniing both positions, and that he changed his mind because he believed the passage of the bill would injure the South. Believing as he does, we think bis courso was manly and proper, but we do not at all agree with his present views. The negro will tint, after tlte present election, bo any appreciable factor in promoting sectional politics. Ht> \* a citizen, and is to-day getting his portion of thc school tax paid hy our people, and to that extent taking from the prop er maintenance of tho schools for white children in the Slate. The proposed appropriation will benefit the cause of education, and give to all classes ?if our citizens better educational advantages. We do not perceive any gt eat danger of raising up a crop of witnesses among the negroes to vex our citizeas in th?-? State. Taken altogether, we think our able ard efficient Senator has allowed his imagi nation to get away with hi* judgment in this matter. The papers which have attacked thc Slate Executive Committee so vigorously for calling a Stale Convention with ex pressed power to nominate a Slate ticket, must surely forget that the absence of that expression in thc call could not prevent thc Convcntiou, if it sees fit. from nominating, as the Convention did in 18S0, when (iovernor Uagood was nominated ; and they must overlook thc fact that tlic expressed power docs not retmire the Couventinn to nominate. It may call a new Convention and adjourn. Neither waa it an action taken in the in terest of any candidate, as such a view was not discussed, or thought of, so far as we knew. Thc sole object wai to re fer ihe whole matter to thc people, by calling their allenlion to thc powers of the Convention, in order that they might elect delegates who would properly rep resent them upon all these questions. Instead of tty "mg to take snap judgment upon the people, the Committee gave ' clear and ample notice in order that '.be people might act for themselves. The Seriate bsa' passed the Educational bill with some amendments, by a voto of 33 yeas to ll nays, with 32 absent mem bers. Senator Hampton voted ayo, and Senator Butler nay. Tho bill now goes to the House where ?ls fate ia uncertain, although its friends have strong hopes that they will be ablo to pass it. It is intimated that Col. Aiken, the Chairman of the Committo on Education, is opposed to the bill, but we trust this may prove incorrect. Wo believe that niue tenths of the people of this District favor its passage, and we hopo our immediate representative will use his position to forward Its consideration and adoption. Tho common school is to day the dial Bhade by which tho progress and devel opment pf States may bs read. Its per fection hi the greatest accomplishment to which statesmanship can direct its alt en. lion. The affording of the advantsges of education to all our citizens is the greatest boon thal philanthropy can be stow upon tho multitude. The "very life and civilization of the State depends upon education. In republics, where the pt op] o^o io 'tho sovereigns, it ia pre-emi nently true, and any State which from temporary expediency or prejudice neg lects the education of her children, is in dulging such expediency or prejudice at ah enormous loss to her futuro progress. It ls upon the citizen of limited means ?thaf, the common school system, wheo efficient, con fers tho greatest blessing. It gives to their children an equality in tho race for progress with the children of the wealthy, It Is the daly, therefore, of tho State to givo to all-her children the advantages of a solid primary educa tion. Tho trouble with tis ls that we have not the means fully to perform this duty, owing to tho fact th..t wo have a very large number of negro children io the State whose parents contribute very little to the education*! fund. The aid J.I<.po? ed .'r.<rn tue National Govi rntncnt .?i.i. i i a *i.c:i-uret r?!leve u- o? tb:? dif ficulty. Those who oppose thc common schools, oppose the g?rate?*, factor in the civilization of our day. They may *ctk to cxcu-c themselves on the plea that the negro is not capable ot education, Lu*. this will net relieve them. The ne gro i? a citizen and entitled to participate ia thc blobing* of g .-vi government, one of which is the opportunity of education to thc children of the .-'.a'e. We have always agreed with those who fear that the negro wi|i not for a long time to C'.n.e be capable of taking any eaten -ive education, but this i- n < reason why the common school s should be closed. If it i- a fa" t that the negro eat.:.ot be educated, it afford? i." reason why the opportunity for iducation thou M be taken from the white children of the ??tat -, ah '*.'. parent1*, c tr.nv*, alford them opportunities' tor tduci'.ioiJ in private H-hoo's. This national aid will greatly add t ; the efficiency of our common schools, and for ih'u reason we (arie ?t!y hope it will be given by thc present Coi'gre-*. tu-yt i>'? i.iin v.vM.i ?.

" The Chairman : The gentleman from Charleston is informell that nomi nations are now closed. The gentleman (rom Cbarlestuu must sit down, lie is interrupting this meeting. Nobody wants iiim here.

We will show him thal be can't boss us any longer. Mr. G ullin has been running over us long enough.' GuUin is a great romancer. What he has lo say in defence of himself should be taken with a great deal of salt." NOT KI UK.RTAKl ED. A correspondent of the Allanta Con ttituiioh, writing from Charleston under date of the ninth inst., ?peak.? thus of au enterprise which hos been rumored in Anderson for several weeks past: "Of late many rumor? have been tur re?? about the starting here of a rival of the Acm and Courier, ll was reported about the Streets that Mr. A. ii. Wil liams uf Creen ville. Captain Milledge Donburn, of Abbeville, and Mr. I. E. Urcbaid, of Columbia, would constitute the editorial stutl and tbfct Mr. N. G. Gonzalez would leave the AVira and Courier ant! join the forte of the new journal, lt was also declared thal the visit of Mr. Felix de Fontaine had some thing io do with thc enterprise, lt was further asserted that the paper would start oui w ith a cash capital of ??iU.OOt). Thc rumors went so fur as to outline the pol.cy of the pspc. lt waa usacrled that its mission was to break dowu the l?ete? and Courier and that il was lo fight the railroads and advocate protec tion on rice. To-day I was in a printing establishment here and heard ibo pro propricto s of thc concern talking about the proposed newspaper. Desirous lo ascertain all 1 could about it, I pul a few questions, the answers lo which disclosed the fact that thc enterprise had exploded. "There was only one thing which pre veuted tho publication of the new jour nal, aud that was money. Thu desired amount could not he raised and the scheme fell through. It is safe to any that for many years toc?me the .Veux and Courier will be the cock of tho walk in Charleston. It would bo tiext to impos sible to break it down." THE HT ATE TRESS ASSOCIATION. The Columbia Register of Saturday, says : "Mr. T. B. Crows, President, and Messrs.. Hugh Wilson, L. M. Grist, T. H. Clark, lt. H. Greneker, Jr., and P. P. Beard, of the State Press Association, met in this city last evening to arrange for the next meeting of the Association. It was resolved lo hold the meeting in Charleston, about the middle of next month, ana Messrs. T. B. Crews, T. H. Clark and F. P. Beard were appointed a committee to make the necessary arrange monts. The committee will enter at once upon the discharge of their duties." . The arrangements made by the Com mittee will doubtless be very acceptable to the members of .the Association. Charleston is a very pleasant place to visit in May. - Col. Morrison, who is usually a very affable and pleasant gentleman, ii reported to be morose and cross. It all comes from tbafborrizontal bill," which baa not only made Morrison cross, bul tbe whole Democratic party seasick.

Filled with Trichina?. NEW YO.:K, April 10.-Antonin Pisino, twenty live years old, was taken lo Bellevue hospital on Monday night. Ho complained of tenderness and pain in his muscles, mid thought hu was sufi' cring from rheumatism. His symptoms were those of trichinosis, and il was dis covered that he was afflicted with a well defined case of that disease. A piece of muscle, about the size of a small pea, was taken from his arm and examined under the microscope. In the muscular tissue were found overa dozen trichina'. Dr. Hammond, assistant house surgeou of Ihe hospital, said thal it hud not yet been fully determined whether the dis ease can bc cured or not. The treat ment uow followed is to give the palient cathartics and build up Ids system wilb tonics and nourishing food. Much has to be left to nature. In I'isiuo's case the disease hat made great headway, the trichina* being found in ail the muscles. This can be d?termin?e] by (he pain it causes the patient when pinched in any part of the body. Hut three authentic cases of trichinosis have beeu treated at Itel le vue hospital in five years. Tom Barber the Bigamist. A few days ago the Obatrctr gavo a lengthy account of thc drummer Barber deserting his wife and three children and marrying Miss Annie Tate, ol Hender souville.

It is too bad, after tvo have succeeded io a- ir ring up the sympa by of the newspa pers men and their readers all over the country in behalf of the young lady, for thu landmark to come out with the fol lowing "pinta" in regard to the affair, but as Joe enjoya a moro intimate ac quaintance ths.i we do with tho young lady, we must tate bis statement' as au thority. He says : "It is a very sad story-and we regret that we cannot find room for the whole of it. -What makes it so much more sad ia the fact that thia is the second or (hird time Miss Annie has been deceived and run away with.
