All carpenters are ordered to stop work to-day. -The New York Tribune announces that "Mr. Greeley accepts no Invitation to speak on political questions while a candidate," and expresses the hope that this announcement will ba accepted as his final determination. -To the objection urged against Mr. Greeley that in previous popular elections he had run behind his party ticket, the Tribune produces all the returns that tend to eluoldate the sub? ject, and In each case Mr. Greeley ls lound j t head of his ticket. -John Bussell Young, whose departure for Earope was recently noted, takes the posl York Herald, ac a salary of elgbt thousand dollars a year, holding the same position in London that Mr. Smalley, of the Tribune, nolds. -Among prominent Democrats who are now openly quoted at warmly In favor of the nomination qt Greeley and Brown are General John C. Brecklnrldge, ol Kentucky, General Richard Taylor, of Louisiana, and Duncan j Kenner, of Louisiana, -A Cuban letter states that two hundred Spaniards surprised a camp of twenty-five women, six children and twelve old men, in the woods between Guantanamo and Arroyo, and massacred all of them. Ihe Spaniards subsequently were pursued by the Cuban rev? olutionists and many of them killed. -The Virginia press is the fiercest of any for Greeley. They say the South Is coming to Baltimore to vote for him In the Democratic National Convention against all comers. One says "Virginia has her opinion without walt? ing for Baltimore." They give Voorheesand "all such" the cold shoulder, decidedly. -The Springfield (M.) State Beg ls ter (Dem.) publishes a list of forty-seven Democratic papers published in Illinois, forty-four of which support Mestura. Greeley and Brown, and three advocate the nomination of a straight Demo? cratic ticket at Ballimore. There are twenty nine other Democratic papers in the State to hear from. -The N. Y. Evening Post reports that "In conversation with a Republican congressman from Ohio, a day or two ago, President Grant ?aid that In case of his re-election he intended to make a general change of officeholders throughout the country." In other words, ' Grant believes In his own perpetual re-election, bot thinks the one-term rule Is good for all ether officeholders. -When Mr. Greeley left his editorial room, on resigning the command of the Tribune, we read that "in one corner o? the room there are nearly thirty boxes, from the different Hew York batters, each containing a white hat They had come in so fast that Mr. Gree? ley distributed them to the employees In the buildlag. The compositors must have come In for a good share, as the majority of them, as they passed to the composing room that evening were crowned with white hats." -Our Atlanta exchanges of Saturday con- j ? talned a call for a meeting ol -Democrats op? posed to a nomination of candidates for Presi? dent and vice-President by the National I D?mocratie Convention. The call was signed by about^ eighty citizens, subscribing them? selves as Democrats. Among the names we observed those of Judge D. F. Hammond, Evan P. Howell, Clark Howell, W. L. Gordon, Colonel R. A. Alston, Perino Brown, Colonel Thomas C. Howard and Colonel Lewis Tura? lin. The meeting was to be addressed by Colone'. Clnclnnatus Peoples and General A. C. G?: llngton. -The Democratic Convention of the great State of New York has in effect endorsed Greeley and Brown. It has fairly and enthu? siastically committed Itself to the Cincinnati platform. It thus puts behind lt tbe whole record of the war, accepts the work of the war as final, (constitutional amendments, negro tuiTrage, and all,) Ulta Itself from the slough of continuous and certain defeat, and turns hopefully toward the problems of the future The Empire State ls In foil accord with Vir? ginia, m?nele, Texas, Connecticut, South Caio Hna, and the rest. ''New York casts her sixty-six votes for Horace Greeley." -From a Texas paper comes an appalling .tory ol the massacre In that State ol nine teamsters and tbe capture of theireffecls by a mixed marauding party, consisting of Indians, negro deserters and Mexicans. The tragedy took place on the El Paso road, where a sup? ply train had halted for the usual midday meal and rest, when, without a moment's warning, the enemy swept down upon the company, seized their weapons ol defence, and then de? voted themselves to the execution of their easily-acquired prisoners. The wagons were pillaged or their abundant stores and rolled together, after which their helpless drivers were tied to them and the whole pile set on Ure, while the cruel captors kepi up the dance of death until their victims' shrieks ceased to afford music, when, gathering up the Bpolls and taklDg the mules, they decamped. The government troops who sought to punish the treachery failed, and the correspondents who gleaned the details ol the affair say that the unusual atrocity was due to the greater sav? ageness of the Indians' new allies, the black troops. The State Convention-Its Powers and Duty. The State Democratic Convention, under the call of the State Executive Committee, will be held in Columbia on Tuesday, the 11th of Jane. This Convention will deter? mine whether the Democracy of thia State shall send delegates to the National Demo? cratic Convention, and- what line of policy the delegates, if sent, shall pursue. Upon the maia issue of the Presidential canvass the South Carolina Democracy are apparently a unit. Toey look first to the welfare of the State, but they have no rr - son to fear that their taking part in the Bal? timore Convention will d.minish the pros? pect of local reform, and they know and feel tbat sucb a reform in tbe character of the National Government as is promised in the Cincinnati platform would be of incalculable, if indirect, advantage to all the States of the South. There are some few presses in this State which are still in doubt These await the action of tbe National Convention before deciding what they will do. To them we say that tbe Baltimore Convention can? not change wrong into right The wisdom, nay 1 the common sense of a course of ac? tion is not determined by its adoption or re? jection by a political convention. Such a body may cause a movement to fall, inas? much aa il is far easier to pull down than to build up; but it cannot, by a set of r?solu-1 tiona, make the movement one jot more or I less patriotic and sagacious tban it waa be? fore tbe Convention assembled. It ls our deliberate judgment, and we believe it to be the judgment of the large majority of the Sonth Carolina Democracy, that the nomi? nation of a Democratic candidate in Balti? more will ensure the re-election of Grant and destroy tbe only reasonable expectation which the Southern States have had, in seven years, of obtaining Amnesty and Peace. Such a nomination wonld be an act of selfish folly, if not worse; and what we call it now we should unhesitatingly call it when the act, and with lt our ruin, was ac? complished. The interests of the Northern Democrats are not, in many respects, our interests. They can afford to stake their fortunes on a sentiment or a name, but this particular form of foolishness Is well-nigh dead tn th-> South. We want a just govern? ment which will not interfere with the rights of tbe people, and under wbicb com? merce shall revive and person and property be safe. This manner of government the Southern States must have, and they will not hold them guiltless who, because of silly oM>r<Mi ~- ,-ambition- aland K? tween the Sonth and redemption from the worst evils which ever afflicted a people. It is indispensable that these convictions have their full expression at Baltimore, and lt ls therefore a duty to appoint a strong delega? tion from every Southern State. There is no doubt that South Carolina will Bend ber rep? resentatives. The press is nearly in accord upon that point It must be our endeavor, besides, to choose delegates who will fitly represent the present opinions of the people men of thought and power, who will not be cozened or brow-beaten by any set of Tam? many politicians. We think it best that the South Carolina delegation should be in? structed to oppose, in every way, the nomi? nation of Democratic candidates for Presi? dent and Vice-President. It is not ex? pected, nor is it desirable, that the Na tional Convention should nominate Gree? ley and Brown. Tbey can and they should abstain from making a nomination, and should advise tbe Democratic masses to sup? port tbe Cincinnati candidates as the surest way of accomplishing the changes in the policy of the government which are requisite for personal safety and public freedom. All these matters, so far as South Carolina is concerned, must be determined in Columbia on the 11th of June, and we deem it of the first importance that the Convention be a full one, and that it be composed of the right kind of men-that is, of men who represent the wiso opinions of to-day, not the crotch? ety notions of four or five years ago. Tbe Connty Meetings to elect delegates to the State Convention will be held, we pre? sume, on the first Monday in June-in Charleston the meeting might properly be held at an earlier day. There may not be a great disposition to encounter the trouble and expense of going to Columbia; because no opposition will be apprehended to the action generally expected to be taken. But this State cannot afford to run any risk. South Carolina should cry out for reform more loudly than ber sister States; for her plight is worse than theirs. It is not her wont to whisper the story of ber suffering; and, now that these spur her to insist that the Northern politicians shall not again sacrifice her and her sisters, ber voice must be clear and resonant as the blast of a trum? pet. And this can only be, if the State Convention be composed of her staunchest citizens, and ir, in addition, her delegates carry with them the unmistakeable expres? sion of the fixed resolution of her people. Upon this Presidential election, as we under? stand the situation, depends the weal or the woe of Sonth Carolina. Tbe County meet? ings should be large, and the State Conven? tion should be fall. And in selecting dele? gates to the State Convention lt is hoped that the people will remember how mach barm has before this been done by the rash words of thoughtless doctrinaires. No man should be a delegate whose past record will tend to cast a shadow or suspicion over the proceedings of the body. Itongbt to be a gathering of citizens, not of politicians. The younger men can now come to the front. Give them a slight leaven of age and expe? rience, and they will make a model Conven? tion-one which will join to the caution and sobriety of ripe years the hard common sense and practical wisdom of youth. This is the kind of Convention wanted now. It rests with the people to seize the opportu ni ty, perhaps the last, or reminding the Northern Democracy that the restoration of ^ the South to its old relations is oar most, grievous national want, and of proving that j South Carolina is resolved to leave nothing undone for accomplishing her own regene? ration, and for healing up the wounds which war and proscription inflicted upon her people. The Baltimore Convention. General Kershaw, ia a letter to Colonel Simeon Fair, advises against sending dele j gate3 from South Carolina to the National Democratic Convention, mainly because I such a step might hinder the possibility of a Reform Republican movemeut in this State. We cannot see that thoie is any solid ground for apprehending so undesirable a j ' result. The object in sending a Democratic delegation to Baltimore is to vote against a party nomination, and in favor of hearty co? operation with the Liberal Republican move? ment. And a like policy obtains in State affairs. The people are ready to support any decent Repul-.icun candidates whom Re? publicans may put in the field ; but they know that it would be the height of fully to i nominate Democratic candidates for State I offices, nod under no circumstances will ! they do anything of the kind. This is the bent of public sentiment; and the participa? tion of Sooth Carolina in the Baltimore Con? vention, while increasing the chances of the election of Mr. Greeley, could not, io our opinion, cause the people to change or modify their fixed resolution to leave the State elections la the bands of the contend? ing Republican factions. We may add that what information we have regarding the Sooth Carolina Reform Republicans leads OB to believe that they are wholly indifferent as to the action of the Democracy ia regard to the National Convention. What they ask is that there shall be no Democratic State ticket, which is no more tkan every sensible man is ready to concede. THERE is reason for hoping that the I precious scheme of calling an extra session 'of the Legislature will full through. It is vigoroasly opposed by tho Radical press, and by several of the prominent members of the Senate and House. ?jostetter's Bitters.
