The harvest has been a total failure, and for such grain, as can be imported enormous prices are demanded. The situation is described aa worse than that of Algeria. The number ot tb os? who have perished, either by hunger br the epidemic, is estimated at one . fourth of the entire population. -A letter from Ellsworth, Kansas, dated Joly 23d, says that tho Indian question has assumed a new phat 9, . All the tribes that were at Fort Lamed bare left, and no one knows where they ha ve gone. Small ' parties are met by persons coming in from the plains, but they hold no communication with the whites, which ia a sign that they mean mischief. The opinion prevails that they have gone south with their women and children, and they will soon s warm . on the railroad Una and routes traversed by the trains with hostile purpose. Reports arrive daily of Jheir killing people and robbing trams. -Mr. Jefferson Davis and family Bailed from Quebec on Saturday last for Europe. It has been stated in a Washington paper that in his coming trial at Bichmond he will appear by counsel. This may or may not be so; but we have reason to believe that the circumstances under which Mr. Davis sails for Europe are such as would make lt desirable to remain there with a view of providing for bis family. Unlike many of the leading public men of this country in civil Ufe, Mr. Davis is not a lawyer. His original profession was that of arms. He, tbsrefore, cannot resort to practice at the bar, as so many others have done whose fortunes were wrecked during the war. Hence other employment is necessary, and the.eipected op? portunity of a commercial connection with a house in England for American business prob? ably now takes him abroad. -The Philadelphia Sunday Transcript says : * 'The Governor of South Carolina, under the Reconstruction act, is one Robert K. Scott, who is, of course, a carpet-bagger hailing from the North, and located in the South merely for . the purpose of plundering the people. Bat the name has a familiar sound and a peculiar sig? nificance to the people of Philadelphia. There was once upon a time, say about ten years ago, a certain Robert E. Scott, a member of the bar in this city, in full and lucrative practice, who had audits and fit things generally from th? court, who settled accounts-in his way who finally disappeared from the city wit: prooeeo.s of a large estate belonging U Captain Prank Harley, of California. ^ collect that this same Robert K. Scott was to file his accounts of this estate; that a was taken in the courts to strike bim from hst of attorneys; and that he evaded all tl becoming a fugitive from jusfice and the indignation of a score of widows and orp whom he had swindled. If the Govern< South Carolina is the same Robert K. S and we verily believe it is, he is a fitting r< sentativo of the party he now trains with, we would suggest to his new friends to ke sharp lookout for their money chests, or t may be more accounts to be settled the; well as here." CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY SI, 1863. ' State D?mocratie Convention. A Convention of the Democratic part the State of South Carolina is hereby cal to meet at Columbia, on the night of Th day, 6th August, for the purpose of nc nating Electors for President and V President of the United States, and for ol purposes. ' The Convention will be composed of i resentatives from each District, accord to the rule of representation in the He of Representatives. > . WADE HAMPTON, Chairman Central Committee ?f i - i ?. Tlie Law School ot Harvard Univers i The members of the Law School of E Tard University have formed a society be known as the "Harvard Law Asso< tion," whose objects are "to maintain i "advance the national character of the I "School; to promote its general welfare "revive the pleasing memories of comn "legal studies; to secure the highest me "and intellectual standards for the le "profession, and to purify it from sectio "and all other narrowing influences; al "by cultivating a mutual respect and "gard, and an agreeable, social intercou "among its members, to become the me "um of a sound public sentiment Upon m "tere outside of the strict limits of prof "sional duty; and to create and strength "those relations which ought to subsist, 1 "tween educated men, whose position gil ."them influence over-the life and thouc "of the country." This association was organized on. t 22d ultimo, at a meeting of which Ex-Gc ernor WASHBCBN was President, and t 1 following officers were elected : President-Hon. R. B. Cartis. Vice-Presidents-Hon. Charles Bradley, Rhode4sland; Hon. William Evatts, of Ne York; E x- Go vernor Magrath, of Charlesto S. C.; Hon. George Hoadley, of Ohio; Ho Ogden Hoffman, of California. ? Secretaries- John Lothrop, of Boston, ai Charles C. Reed, of Cambridge. Treasurer-J. Bowditch. ~ 'Executive' Committee-Hon. R. H. Dan Hon. George S. Hillard, H. W. Muzz Frank Goodwin, John F. Smith. We recognize in the formation of this s ciety an expression of good will and kind! interest, which it beoomes us to aoknow edge. Upon the rolls of the Harvard La School are the names of many men wi have won a national reputation, and i many whose fame has extended far beyon the borders of their native Carolina. Th new association will tend to knit again th ties of former years, and to-preserve tho9 relations of personal regard which , tim and circumstances hare threatened to de stroy. We believe that suoh organizations representing every State in the Union, wi! do good in encouraging cordiality an? friendship, and we wish the Harvard La\ Association a deserved success and a loni and prosperous career. The Two "Partie? and the Public Debt The plank in the Democratic platform re lating to the national bondholders excite; the special indignation of the Republicans According to the representations-of th Tribune and the Nation, the taxing of thee? bonds is virtual repudiation, and the pay ment of them in lawful currency is s wind ling. Unfortunately, the people do not agrei with these great financiers. They do no understand why the holders of governmen bonds should be relieved from the genera burden of taxation, which must be borne bj all other capitalists, and which oppressei also the labor of the -We land. If invest mehts are to be taxed, let all investments wherever lodged, render patriotic tribut* to the government. As easily and justly at the horny hand of poverty may the rici coupon be made to sweat gold. I Nor is it easy to stultify the popular mino i in regard to the proper mode of payment ol ; the national obligations. Any uprejudiced I mind can see the equity of the principle laid down by the Democratic party-thal the bond, whenever it is a promise of pay? ment in gold, shall be paid in gold; but whenever it is a promise of payment merelyj must be paid in greenbacks, which the Rad? icals themselves have declared to be legal tender. There is no injustice to bondhold? ers in this plan; it is a protest against the gigantic swindle of the people which the Radicals offer to carry out. Aud there are grave reasons why even the bondholders should accept the proposi? tion of the Democratic party, and give it their active co-operation. By claiming too much, these capitalists may lose everything. The recognized debt now pressing upon us amounts to $2,757,6S9,571. This amount will be nearly doubled, according to the es? timates of many, by the unrecognized debts which must be eventually admitted. A large portion of this debt has been con? tracted "by Congress without any authority from the constitution. If we leave out of view the war debt, certainly the immense expenditures for the Freedmen's Bureau, and for military governments over the sove reigu States of the Union, and for recon? struction, which is another name for the political and social humiliatiou of the South? ern people-all these wanton and wasteful expenditures Congress had no right to make, and, therefore, for their payment it had no constitutional authority to levy taxes upon tie people of the United States.. Now, sup? pose the people should take this^position that they would pay only such debts as Con? gress had the constitutional warrant for contracting. They might do so; and we think, unless the Radical extravagances are speedily arrested, they certainly will do so-and thaOperhaps, under the guidance of THAD. STEVENS or the immortal BEN. The Democratic party guarantees the bonds according to their formal terms The1 Radicals offer to pay according to the letter and spirit of the obligation. But .while the offer of the latter party is more favorable, they are destroying the ability of the coun? try to pay. The revenue is failing, and the bonds are multiplying, under their ad? ministration. The American people will pay if they can; but there is a point where oommercial pride and public spirit break down; there is a necessity from which indi? vidual bankruptcy and national repudia? tion are the only method of escape; and to that extreme Radicalism is pushing us daily. There is a good deal of sound sense and practical statesmanship in a suggestion re? lating to this matter, which occurs in a let? ter from Hon. Mr. REED, of Pennsylvania. He claims that the Democratic party is not responsible for any of the financial difficul? ties of the country, and even avows his willingness to pay the debt equitably, and then goes on to say : As the most natural means to this end, does it now occur to the anxious bondholder to think a little, and calmly and dispassionately, on the graver, more perilous problem underly? ing all others-the social and political and eco? nomical condition of the great Southern Ascel dama, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande ? Does any sane man believe that the public credit is safe, so long as the Sooth remains as it is ? Is the enfranchised negro a sure auxil? iary to the bondholder ? Are the disfranchised, persecuted white men of the South to be relied on in this their agony to maintain the public faith ? There was a tune when, being inter? ested in a species' of property which, in one respect, resembled our Federal securities, in? asmuch as it was the object of prejudice, and depended on the sanctity of the letter of the law, Southern men were the staunch support? ers of the inviolability of contracts. What inducement have they now, persecuted, pro? scribed, disfranchised ? "Take the foot of the negro from the white man's neck," said an elo? quent friend, a few days ago, "and we will take to you about bonds and greenbacks, but they don't concern us now." Still, the ancient in? stinct of honor exists. The South restored and contented and grateful-the white man in his due position-the negro subordinated, not to slavery, but to the control of a superior race-the great Southern staples brought lo life again, and no one can doubt that the pub? lic credit would stand on a surer basis than it has at any period during the earthquakes of the last seven years. The demand of the Democratic party that constitutional liberty shall be restored to the South-and with that liberty, social order-is thus a guarantee to the bond? holder that, if that party get into power, his money is safe. The public credit will revive under an economioal administration of the government. The prosperity now denied to the richest portion of our common country will return. Moneyless adventu? rers will cease to waste the public treasure and plunder the industry of the people. We shall -have the ability to pay and the will. ' And we may-even anticipate the pe? riod when-the legal tenders will approxi? mate to the value of gold. But if Radical? ism prevails, there wiU be no other resort but the wiping off of the old scores-the rejection of all bonds given without con? stitutional warrant, as the first measure of public relief, and then the repudiation of the whole debt. , This is a great country. It c an do much. But it cannot effect impossibilities. And to reconcile Radicalism and honesty is au im? possibility. WE DESIRE to.call particular attention to the interesting letter of our Columbia correspondent, PERSONNE, published this morning. It gives a faithful picture of the schisms and dissensions of the Radical party, and is an indication that the leaders feel that their race is nearly run. We have always been of the opinion that, if they are given rope enough, the Radicals will hang themselves, and the reoent legislative elec tions, the declarations of LESLIE, and the manner in whioh the petition of the Charleston meeting was received, make this conclusion reasonably oertain. THE Newberry Herald disposes of the Newberry threatening letter to Governor SCOTT in these words : "It is hardly neces? sary to say that there is no such person as "W. H. MARTIN in Newberry, and that the "whole affair is a hoax, and is so under-^ "stood by Governor SCOTT." BEFORE the adjournment of Congress the Hon. Wu. AIKEN was nominated to be Col? lector of Customs for Charleston, S. C. We are not positively informed whether this nomination was acted on, but have heard that it was not acted on. / (Dpnrtnersljip Ibticc.
