Some event of great importance, precipitating the result, it is ' hinted, will occur as soon as Count Bismark returns to Berlin. These .views,: it is said, ore very widely , entertained in commercial and financial circles, and merchants and bankers alike ace shaping things accordingly. -Lord, Cranworth died in London on Mon? day. He waa born in Norfolk, - December 18, 1790, educated at Cambridge University, and in 1816 Was called to the bar, where he soon ac. quired a lucrative practice.. He held tbe office "of Solicitor-General from 1834 to 1839, when !ie -was made one of the Barons of the Exchequer. In 1850 he was appointed Vice-C baocellor and raised to the peerage as Boron Cranworth. Ee was appointed Lord High Chancellor in 1852, and held the great seal anti 1 the .formation of the Derby Ministry in 1858, when he retired from office. ? -The visit of the Duke of Edinburg to the Crystal Palace,in London, on the 4th, waa the occasion of a series of festivities of unwonted magnificence. Upward 9t 30,000 persons were present The Duke was accompanied by the Prince of Wales and a distinguished partv. Both Signor Mario and Mlle. Adelina Patti took port in the concert; and (he new song which hos been composed in honor of the Prince was the signal for an outburst of en? thusiasm. The whole system of the fountains was put in op?ration, and lat? tn the evening there was a display of fireworks. -The Washington correspondent of thc Bal? timore Gazette, writing on the day that Con? gress adjourned, says: "A- decrepit wretch, with his carpet-bag stuffed in an enormous overcoat pocket (the other filled with coarse edibles), was sworn in as he stood this morn? ing preolMy five minutes before thc final ad? journment, in order to save his salary and travel I He bad evidently ran from the steam? boat dock to the House, as the perspiration had oozed tbroagh bis filthy habiliments in all directions." [This must have been Simeon Corley, of South Caroling, or Nelson Hereorgia.] -The bill TV bach passed tho Senate 01 day for the protection of naturalized c abroad, was so amended as to be an c different measuro from' -what it was original introduction by Senator Conne we are not surpriaed at the angry decli of the California senator, that, after its t ment, he cared nothing about its pi The section authorizing the President t< reprisals, and the section authorizing I suspend commercial intercourse wit offending power, were stricken out. Tl as passed, merely declares that natu: American citizens, while in foreign I shall receive the same protection fro; government as native-born citizens; ac vides that in case of any citizen being ni imprisoned by a foreign governmen President shall demand an explanation; j be unsatisfactory, the President shall with demand his release; if this be re the President shall "usa such mean amounting to ada of war, as he may th: cessor y and proper to obtain or effect su lease, communicating promptly to Coi the facts and proceedings.'' -Tho Washington correspondent ol Bichmond Dispatch says : "A report has sent hence to the New York papers repri ing that Mr. Johnson, in a conversation somebody a few days ago, remarked thi could not consistently recognize the offia the reorganized States as legal officers consequently he will be obliged either i hold intercourse with them or address hi to the officers who* in his opinion, are h entitled to recognition as officers elected 1 his (the President's) provisional go menta.' There Ls the best authority for s that this report of an alleged c onveraati without the shadow of'foundation in tm tl such conversation took place, and so f any announcement may be made at all the course that may be pursued hereafti the President in the matter referred to, probable that his action would be the con of that set forth in the. conversation qa Up to this time the President has recog? the Reconstruction acts of Congress, and executed them, BO far as he was requin toke action upon them, contenting himself the interposition of his constitutional prei rive, 'the veto.' He leaves the determiui of the legality or constitutionality to the i sion of the legally constituted authorities, future action will doubtless be in confori with his past conduct. CHARLESTON. -0-? THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 30,186? State Democratic Convention. A Convention of the Democratic part; the State of South Carolina is hereby cal to meet at Columbia, on the night oj Th day, 6th August, for the purpose of no nating. Electors for President and V: President of the United States, and for ot purposes. " The Convention will be composed of r resentatives from each District, accord; to the rule of representation in the Hoi of Representatives. ...... . -. WADE HAMPTON, . Chairman Central Committee. i - The Election of Electors. The Southern member ) of Congress hs decided that it will be b?tst for the Pre dential Electors in the reorganized Stat to be chosen by their respective Legis: tures, in which manner they have alwa been chosen in South Carolina. It is not difficult to anderstand the pu pose of this movement. The reaotion agaii Radicalism has reached the Southerns groes. There is danger that every Sout ern State will he carried by the Democrat for while Mississippi ean defeat the Radie constitution in the face of a negro majority nearly, twenty thousand registered vote what may not be expected from North Ca olina, Georgia and the rest ? This tl Radicals know. Bat they believe that tl packed Legislatures in the Southern Stat are sound and loyal, and, therefore, pr pose to have the Presidential Electors ch sen by the State Legislatures, or in othi words, to decide the Presidential eleerie in the Southern States by the votes of tl mean white scalawags and carpet-bagger ignorant negroes and Northern adventurer who compose'those queer conglomera tes? tae General Assemblies of the South. Pei haps the able and dignified Southern men bers can do what they please with the: Legislatures, and secure the passage of an description of bill, in the same way th; slave-driving "ROBERTSON'-' obtained h election as United States senator. But i this State it is a case of .V? Exeat or n go-for the constitution framed in tb Charleston Club House in March last d< clares that (Art. 8, Sec. 9) "PHESIDENTIA ELECTRS SHALL BE ELECTED BY THE TEC PLE.' ".Vorth and South Carolina th: Seeon Military District." [Reconstruction Act. The Second Military District has cease to exist. General CAN BY returns to th command of the Department of Washing ton, ind South Carolina is one of the quio tel- " of Stutes which compose the Depart ment of the South under the command o General MEADE. Military rule in this State is at an end The soldier has given place to the gov ernment of time-servers, fortune-hunter; and renegades, which now reigns in Col um bia. A mandate from General CANBY novi has no more authority than an order fron John Smith, and all persons heretofore held ing office *by virtue of special or genera orders from the late headquarters at th< citadel, must at once vacate their officia chair3, or tacitly declare that they pay nc respect, to.CANBY, Congress or the recon? struction constitution. But besides the military appointees, who are now in trouble and doubt, there are thc recently elected county oEcers, whose elec? tion was wholly il!e?a!, whether it was sup? posed to be held under the auihority'of the Reconstruction acts or the ordinances of the Club House Convention. The Reconstruction act of February 28. 1S'33, authorized the constitutional conven? tions to provide that at the time of voting upon the ratification of the constitution, the registered voters might vote for mem? bers of Congress and for all elective officers provided for by the said constitution. But the convention in this State did no such thing. It did ordain that at the time of voting upon the constitution the executive officers of the State and members of the General Assembly should be elected; but in regard to all other officers elected by the people, including county officers, it only or? dained that au election might be held within thirty days after the ratification of the constitu? tion, under regulations to be prescribed by the Commissioners of Elections. It is clear, then, that county commissioners, sheriffs, clerks of court, and all other county offi? cers, could only be elected within these thirty days, and under the rules laid down by the Election Commissioners-E. W. M. MACHET, whit9, F. L. Cardoza, colored, A. J. Hausier, colored, and C. C. BOWEN, white. The eonstitution was submitted to the registered voters on April 14th, 15th and 16th last, at which time the Governor, State officers, members of the Legislature and Congressmen were elected. Nothing was said about county or municipal officers. On the 28th April, however, General CAISBY issued au order that elections should take place on June 2d for all county and munic? ipal officers, and on May 23d he revoked so much of the order as referred to municipal elections, leaving the county elections to go on. These are the facts, and they prove con? clusively : 1. That the sheriffs, clerks of court, and other county officers elected on June 2d were not elected under the authority of the Reconstruction acts, because not elected at the time of ratifying the constitution. 2. That these so-called county officers were not elected under the Club House con? stitution, because they were not elected within thirty days of the ratification of the constitution and under the supervision of the Commissioners of Elections. 3. That they were eleoted by authority of a military order, and that while they might have qualified as provisional officers while military rule lasted, they cannot qualify now, because they were elected illegally and in direct opposition to the pro? visions of their own constitution. Our conclusion is, that neither MACKEY, RICHMOND, HURLEY, nor any of their breth? ren, will be allowed to hold office under the elections of June 2d; and that no legally elected or appointed officer should give up to them, upon any pretext, the papers and records of his office. JUDGE F. J MOSES, the father of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, so-called, has been elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Only a few months ago he told a citizen of Charleston in the most solemn manner, that he would not eit on the bench if his brother judges were re? moved, and that their fate should be his. Now he accepts a high judicial position at the bands of a body which has been called into being by unconstitutional laws, and exists ia defiance of justice aad the consti? tution. - LESLIE, the senator from Barnwell, voted yesterday deliberately for WADS Hn.rn.r-r for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of | the State. This may have been done for dramatic effect, as LESLIE is fond of a sen? sation, or he may be preparing for a little ground and lofty tumbling. If LESLIE is* a repentant ainner, let.him show his sin? cerity by resigning his seat aad accom? panying emoluments. A vote for WADE HAMPTON for Chief Justice will not in its self wipe away every Radical sin, but there is room in the Democratic fold for all who are truly converted. CD lent. TO KENT.
