He win receive only such as are still subjects of Prussia and hobie to its mllltv ry services. . These aire now called upon to re pert to the consul* in the places where they reside, and hold themselves In readiness to return and Jobi the army. -The Army and Navy Gazette has reaMved numerous letters of inquiry from officers,DO tu of our regular and late volunteer armies, as to the prospects of American soldiers obtaining . connaissions in the French and Prussian ser? vice. TAe Canette says: "The telegraph in? forms us that France explicitly announces its determination to receive no foreign officers, and toare ls no doubt that Prussia is of like mind. While either power will probobly be glad to enlist any able-bodied man who offers bimse it, neither hos yet begun to fall short of officers. We, therefore, advise Amer lcan officers to walt and consider before ven? turing a voyage to Europe, on the chonces of obtaining a foreign fighting commission." -Although the steamships from German porta to America have all been stopped on ac? count of the war, there will be no great diffi? culty abopt Americans In Germany returning to thia country if they desire to do so. The English steamships have not all yet been with? drawn from the ports on the North Sea and 'the Baltic. Hamburg, for example, was still ? open at the latest advices. The porte of Hol? land maj easily be reached, and there the . traveller can take ship for England and thence for America. Or, again, the American resi? dent in Germany may turn his course south? ward till he reach Genoa or Leghorn on the Mediterranean, or Venice or Trieste on the Adriatic, and at either of these ports he will med ste? ny hips running to England. -A Washington dispatch of Monday soys: "Baron Geroii, the Prussians-Minister, had an interview with Secretary Robeson and Vice Admiral Porter, la. relation to the German shipping intereala and the protection of Ger? man emigrants who may be en route to this country. The Secretary of the Navy will do all he can consistently with the neutrality of this country, to render proper aid and protection of the shipping interests of the contestants, so far as their trade with this country ls concern? ed. Baron Gerolt has received? numerous dispatches from Europe, but is very reti? cent, as he is authorized to give Information tono one except to the Secretary of State, and that only by special direction. He says a war of the most bitter ar.d unrelenting kind is now in progress. Al) hopes of peace are gone, and he does nrt now regret it. His government had show u the world that she meant fair play and p roper warfare by the generous proclamation of his King excluding from capture all goods not contraband of war, and In carrying out the treaty abolishing pri? vateering. He says the French Government has disregarded the action of Prussia, and an? nounces his intention to seize all vessels under the Prussian flag, Ac; at which the Baron feels indignant, and says he does not care how long the war lasts-the longer the better for Prussia. He received over two thousand letters last' week from naturalized Germans and Americans in various sections of the country, containing offers of monev and other aid. His nation ls not ia need either of money or men; but If she should ever require either, she would call upon America for tu Thoasands of Germans are leaving this coun? try to join the'Prussian army. They go by way of England and Belgium, at their own risk, and without reference to him. He fur? ther says that the action of France In reference to the shipping Interests made it difficult to conjecture whether or not she would interfere with the Atlantic cables. He trusted, how? ever, the cables would bo left untouched." Tbe Radical Nominations. The Radical State Convention, yesterday evening, nominated B, K. Scott for re-elec? tion as Governor, and Alonzo J. Ransier for election as Lleutenant-Governor, of South Carolina. It waa within the power of the convention to have nominated candidates whose comparative honesty and decency might have paralyzed the energies of the Op? position, and made it less imperative for every honest citizen to work, with might and main, for the redemption of the State from the debasing rule of ignorance and vice. But the convention has thrown away its .only chance, and, in selecting R. K. Scott as its champion, solidifies the ranks of Reform, while flaunting the banners of trickery and vice in the face of an indignant people. Robert Kingston Scott is the head and front of the clique of unprincipled knaves who have grown fat at the public crib, and have made the Government of the State of South Carolina a barning shame to Northern and Southern civilization. Than the lead? ing spirits of the convention, none know better what are the blots upon the official record of the maa whom they would foist for two years moro upon chivalrous South Carolina. These leaders know that tbe administration of Governor Scott is marked by a profligate ex? travagance, and a wanton disregard of the interests of his constituents,without a paral? lel in the annals of the North American Union. In nominating Governor Scot: these men show, only too plainly, that their prom? ises of reform are meru hypocritical twaddle ; they show their determination to stand upon their record of wrong, and to inaugurate, if the people give them leave, a new era of folly, riot and waste. And in this lies the only qualification which Governor Scott is 1 admitted to possess. He is a fit representa? tive of the mal-administration and mis-gov? ernment which have brought South Caro? lina to the verge of ruin. As the head of the Scott Ring, let. him stand, without dis? guise, in the front of the political battle, and meet, if he dare, the stings and darts of the intelligent voters of the State. Alonzo J. Ransier, the nominee for Lieu? tenant-Governor, is a rather light mulatto, who waa a delegate to the Reconstruction Convention, served in the last General As? sembly, and is Auditor of Charleston Coun? ty. The demeanor of Ransier is good enough, and bis intelligence is equal to that of the best of bis class. In political life he is un? derstood to have but one ruling idea, which ls to augment taxation until the whites are driven bodily out of the State. This precious idea was intended to take shape at the last Bession of the General Assembly, but, in view of the approaching elections, lt was post? poned to this winter. These are the candidates of the Radical Ring. Their nomination ls tantamount to their defeat, and secures the glorious vic? tory of the Union Reform party. Winchester Rifle- L*w. Every day brings to light new facts con? firming tbe statement already made in these column?, that the Scott Ring intend to use their constabulary and militia for the pur? pose of overawing the whites and carrying the elections by force. L About two weeks ago Geo. Lee, a col? ored lawyer living at Summerville, told a colored Reformer that "the militia was only "organized in order to compel the colored "people to vote as the Radical leaders "pleased. " This George Lee is a member of the Legislature, a trial justice and the assistant county treasurer. The only com? mentary of the colored Reformer was-"The "whites must arm too." This must be done for the safety of blacks as well as whites. 2. The Winnsboro'.freies hears that ball cartridges are in course of distribution to the Slate militia These may be only straws, but they show the way the wind blows. THE New York Tribune, of Monday, con? tains a pretty full report of the proceedings of the Union Reiorm meeting, held in Charles? ton lost week. It copies the greater part of the speech of Mr. M. P. O'Connor and Judge Carp?uter, as reported iu THE CHARLESTON NEWS, "to show the general spirit in which "the Pe'^rm movement is conduced, and "some O? tue issues at stolje." --?--z Tb? Land Ringi ^ In passing the act of Marci, 1869,| "provide for the appoiatment of a,Li '.Commissioner, and to define Iiis po** .*and??uties,"the General Assembly exce ed, in several important particulars, powers reposed in it by the ordina authorizing the creation of "a Board of Li ' 'Commissioners. " The General Assembly did not estab "a Board of Commissioners of Public Lane who should purchase lands for sale to act settlers, to which Commissioners the pul stock intended to provide means forp chasing lands should be issued, and v should give bond for the security ot funds in their hands. Disregarding plain letter of the ordinance of the Consti tional Convention, the General Assera passed an act providing for the appointm* of one Land Commissioner, who should g bond for ?he faithful discharge of his duti And over this officer they set up an ille| Advisory Board, who give rib bond whatev but who may dismiss the Land Commissi! er at their pleasure, and, according to I terms of the law, fix the price to be paid the lands, and, in every way, have absoli power to regulate and determine the offic acts of the Land Commissioner. In this w ?he Legislature was wrong from the beg ning, but the turpitude which has enamel ized the acts of the Advisory Board is 1 more heinous than the unconstitutiot statute, by which the Advisor}* Board and creature, the Land Commissioner, were cs ed into being. 1. The ordinance of March, 1868, provid that the aggregate amount of pureba (of lands) made in any fiscal year shall n exceed the par value of the public stock this State, created and appropriated by t General Assembly for the purposes conter plated. This is repeated, as was proper, the act of the General Assembly of Marc 1869, which provides that the lands purcha ed are "not to exceed, in the aggrega "amount, in any one fiscal year, the p. "value of the public stock of this Stat "created by the General Assembly for lb "purpose." Bonds of the State to tl amount of $200,000 were appropriated : the Land Commission, by the same act, "i "in the opinion of the said Advisory Boan "so much be necessary." The A cl vis o i Board must have been of the opinion that ? much was necessary, for in the Comptrolle General's report for 1869, page 41, there charged, as outstanding, six per cent bone of the Land Commission to the amount < 5200,000. This, then, was the-, amout which the purchases of the Land Commii sion, in any one fiscal year, might not ea ceerf. We charge that, in open violation of th law, tho Advisory Board did purchase land exceeding, in the one fiscal year, thi amount of $200,000. It was asserted agai and again, and never denied, that th Land Commission bad exhausted its wbol appropriation and gone heavily in debt be aides. And, at last, the organ of the Rinj made the statement, by authority, that th Land Commission bad bought 78,000 acre of land at an average of $5 75 an acre These lands cost, according to the officia organ, at least $448,500-or about $248,001 in excess of the amount to which the Lani Commission was limited by the ordinance o the convention of 1868, and by the act of 1869 These purchases, in excess of the $200,001 appropriated by the act of 186S, are illegal and it remains to be seen whether the tax payers are to be held responsible for the act! of an irresponsible Board, illegally appoint ed, and carrying on ils speculations in rea estate in open disobedience to the organic and statute law of the State. And this is not the worst phase of the con? duct of the Advisory Board ! The Bowfii-DtLirge Squabble. The State Convention has admitted the DeLarge delegation or bolters, and has re jected the Bowen delegation, which, accord? ing to official Radical authority, was legalij chosen by the delegates of Charleston Coun? ty. This row in the Radical camp has no immediate bearing upon the Reform can? vass, but it is worth a cursory examination as an evidence of the unscrupulous wire? pulling and log-rolling in which the Ring indulge. The Radical Convention for Charleston County assembled in this city on Wednesday, the 20th inst? The authorized number of dele? gates was 96, but there were two contesting delegations from Ward No. 7 and St James's Santee, making the total number actually present 105. Mr. Timothy Hurley (of the Bowen party) was called to the chair, and the convention passed upon the claims of the two rival delegations. The convention, hav? ing established the legality of its ninety-six delegates, went on with its work. After the election of Mr. Timothy Hurley (of the Bowen party) as permanent chairman, the following resolution was adopted: ' Be it resolved, That the delegates elected by this convention to the State Nominating Convention, to be held In Columbia on the 26th instant, be, and they are hereby, authorized to represent the County of Charleston in the nom? ination cf a member o? Congress for the Sec? ond Congressional District, at such time and place as the chairman of the Congressional District Committee shall designate and appoint for that purpose." At this point in tho proceedings.. Mr. T. J. Mackey, one of the excluded delegates from Ward No. 7, and the delegates who had voted in the minority during the session, withdrew from the convention. There now remained moro than seventy delegates out of the original ninety-six, and these proceeded to elect delegates, with the following result: C. C. Bowen.66 Wm. H. Berney... .66 Richard Brven.66 John Bonum.66 A. C. Richmond... .66 G. B. Stoddard.66 Mich. .McLaughlin. .66 John Morris.66 Aaron Logan.66 F. A. Sawyer.61 Beni. Capers.66 Henry Thompson. .66 P. P*. Hiidtres.66 H. H. Hunter.66 .Timothy Hurley... .66 W. D. Jervey.66 Peter Ash.66 Wm. H. Mishaw-66 The convention then adjourned. These facts are taken from the official minutes of the proceedings of the convention. On the following day, "the bolters" from the conventior ' f Wednesday met in con? vention. Their number was stated to be thirty-eight, afterwards increased to fifty two by the arrival of delectes from the parishes. These "bolters" held their elec? tion for delegates to the State Convention, with this result: A. J. Ransier, R. H.- Cain, T. J. Mackey, G. E. Lee, R. Harleston, Abram Smith, E. wr. M. Mackey, E. J. AdamB, W. N. Tait, M. Caulfield, U. B. Moultrie, P. L. Miller, W. A. Grant, Wm. Perroneau, R. C. DeLarge, G.. W. Pinckney, Alexander Williams, F. L. Mason. The majority delegation-including Con? gressman Bowen, United States Senator Sawyer and Timothy Hurley-was under? stood to support C. C. Bowen for re-election to Cangress. The bolting delegation-in? cluding T. J. Mackey, E. W. M. Mackey, A J. Ransier and R. C. DeLarge-was under? stood to be in full accord with the adminis? tration, and to support the nomination of R. C. DeLarge, (colored,) for Congress in the place of C. C. Bowen. The two delegations proceeded to Columbia, and the result is that the minority delegation, or bolters, are admitted, and the majority delegation are excluded. This, it ?3 true, is none of our funeral, but it may be taken as a broadhint tothegentry from abroad, that the day of their undivided j control of the voices and votes of the freed? men has come to an end at last Whittemore Again. The seller of cadetships has, politically, as many lives as a cat. A resignation from Congress to avoid a disgraceful expulsion, a vote of censure by the House of Representa? tives, a refusal by the House to admit him to the seat to which he was re-elected-this would havi^illed a score of ordinary men. But Whittemore comes smiling to the scratch, and, while arranging things for a renomination, is appointed, by the Radical State Convention the chairman of the Com? mittee on Credentials, and the chairman of the Committee on Platform. What a pre- j cious platform it will be if Whittemore, just this once, preaches what he practices. {Dante.
