A machine has been perfected in England, which, applied to the proboscis for an hour dally, so directs the soft cartilage that an ill-formed nose ls quickly shaped to perfection. Thus every person may determine what sort of an organ he or she will wear, andlhe question of styl? becomes an important one. -A signifie int letter has been written by United States Senator Ferry to Hon. James F. Babcock, of New Haven, expressing his grati? tude to the Democrats who gave him their votes. He claims to be a Republican, and likely to . remain so, but he says: "We are not all antagonisms, even In politics. We have one country that we love; one wish for Its prosperity. We differ In many ways about the' best method of promoting Its welfare hut, in'some minga, IL iias~turheaT out that we are agreed." From the senatorial contest, he draws the lesson of a purer political future, for he concludes by saying that "the moral of the senatorial election in Connecticut ls not j that any, party or faction, or Individual, baa won? triumph, but that the people sustain in? dependent thought and action In their repre-1 sentatlves." -Four New Yorkers have shown the sport? ing portion of tba Old World how Americans do certain things, and likewise, made some little excitement for themselves by a series of | gambling operations at Monaco, a quiet town in Upper Italy, and the only place in that re? gion whero the roulette and rouge tables flourish under the protection ol the law. These sport, ug gentry appeared on the scene first simply as respectable* travellers with their wives, and were much more Interested in the drives and scenery of the surrounding* | country than in games bf chance. Occasion? ally they took a turn at Fortune's wheel, and retired after losing a trifling Bum. Soon their t?ctica changed, however, and they appeared at the bank well backed by notes and gold, to the no small a at 1st ac li on of the proprietor, and opened the campaign. For two days they played, losing slightly' but winning largely, until their spoils footed up HO,OOO francs, and the bank was declared broken. The keeper then charged them With playing on the first night with counterfeit gold and winning un? fairly and refused to pay, which so aroused in? dignation In the manly,bosoms of the success? ful blacklegs that they whipped out their re? volvers; and scattering the Italians, carried off | the bank. j* -It is surprising what crotchets valetudlna- j riana will harbor. Here ls an invalid lady In a New England town who ls greatly distressed by the noisy vibrations of the telegraph wires which pass over her house. The company have moved their wires once to relieve her, bat did lt in Buen" a way that, as she says in a little publication which she bas made on the subject, "the Incessant roar and ring" were "twice o-.-three times .os loud" as before. Ul? timately* she was-forced to pay seventy-five dollars to cover the expense of having the poles carried far away from her domicile. Personally, she [ls rid of the Gollan noises, but her distrust of telegraph companies has not in the least abr.ted; for. In a handbill j which she has obligingly forwarded to us, she [ expresses the opinion that telegraphs "are established and stretched through every nook and corner of the land" not only for the pur? pose of keeping Invalid ladies awake, but "by a secret and designing party of politicians for the express purpose of ascertaining the exact | state of affairs, and controlling, as far as pos? sible, the free suffrages ol' the people." AB j she would never have thought of this If the j noisy wires had not kept her awake, we are j happy to believe Lhat the worthy woman ls j quite mistaken. -A correspondent of the New York Eve? ning Post writes from Washington as follows "Chief Justice Chase is probably the best scholar that has ever presided over the Su? preme Conn. As a Latin soholar he is not surpassed by any man in the profession. WhUe he was Governor of Ohio, a friend tells me, he read through the Greek Testament during bia first term. He reads French as readily as English. He can translate "Faust" into his own etrong and vigorous tongue; and reads Italian and Spanish like, the natives of those sunny lands. While he is not a poet, he ls fond of "Eveninga with the Poets " and has a high, appreciation of Chaucer Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Gothe and others. He has made some good translations of the Latin poets for his own amusement. In | mathematics be is a worthy pupil of Euclid. He ls In the broadest sense an elegant and ac? complished scholar. The health ot Chief Jus? tice Chase bas Improved greatly since he was j in the City o? New York, a year ago last Jan? uary. He eats well, digests well, sleeps ! well, exercises much and works hard On ?Tuesday evening he worked until half-past ten o'clock, writing up one decision and look ! in~ up authorities tor another. He says that ! it Ts seldom that be works beyond the hour ol ? ten at night In his library. His old mile, his hearty laugh and his buoyant cheeriness have come back to him. HU general health is better now than lt ha" been at any time in the last three years. On pleasant mornings he walks In to the capitol. This is his season of heavy work, os the Supreme Court ls in session._ County Convention? All citizens of Chai lesion County who are opposed to ihe misrule of the Radical party now controlling the Federal administration, are requested to meet in their Beverul wards, or at their respective precincts, for the pur? pose of selecting delegates to a County Con? vention, to meet In Charleston on Thursday next, 30ih Instant, at ll A. M., by which dele? gates may be elected to the Convention, to be held In Columbia on the 11th June next. CUAIILES H. SlMOSTON, Member National Democratic Executive Com tee for South Carolina. Tin Columbia Convention as Affecting State Reform. _ The controlling idea o? Generai Kershaw's I letter to Colonel Simeon Fair is contained in these words : "If we avoid any organiza? tion of our people for any political purpose .whatever-if we refrain from antagonizing "tho Republicans of this State on party j "questions-if we avoid all irritating colll "sions with tbe colored people, and pursue "a policy of conciliation-we may receive "such a participation in the affairs of the 'State as will arrest her impending ruin." And, again : "If we refrain from taking our .fruitless part in the contest, shonld the Re .publicans succeed we will have avoided "giving any pretext to the incoming ad? ministration further to oppress and to per? secute our people, and our wise modera "tion will have disarmed mnch of that "prejudice, which excludes us from partici? pation in the public affairs of the State." This is apparently clear enough, hut it is hardly to be supposed that General Kershaw i means that this people should remain silent J and motionless until tho demagogues who J I control the voting majority are surfeited I with plumier and sick of power. Such a ' policy would be both unprofitable and dis? graceful. When he advises that we should avoid "any organization for any political "purpose whatever," we prefer, therefore, to assume that his intention is to discounte? nance any political organization which might "antagonize" the Republicans of this State and cause "irritating collisions" with the colored people. We are not ready to admit that even a Democratic canvass in this State, conducted upon the basis of a platform like that of the Reform movement or that of the Cincinnati Convention, would Inevitably produce the evil consequences which General Kershaw naturally desires to avoid. Nevertheless, we are opposed lo any sncb canvass, for tbe broad reason that its only result would be a crystallization of the Republican party and our inevitable de- J feat. The platform and the character of tue cuuaiaafes wuuiil DOC sensibly ??ecTlhe | canvass. At this time the colored people, remembering the lessons of iJneir radical in Btructors, decline to have anything to do with a Democratic parly, and refuse to vote for Democratic candidates. This fact is re? cognized by the white citizens, who are de? termined not to pnt a Democratic ticket in the field at the State elections to be held in October. They are prepared to support any Liberal Republican movement which may be shown to be worthy of countenance; but they do bot intend to make a tight for the Sake of being whipped, * sensation they have experienced already too often. There is, then, no danger of "antagonizing" the Re? publicans and "irri tating" the colored people by a Democratic party canvass. Yet the people do not propose, much as they respect General Kershaw's opinions, to avoid any political organization whatever. A State Convention of the Democratic party has been called, and will assemble in Columbia on the 11th of June. That Con? vention will not be composed exclusively of Democrats. It is held under the call of the National Democratic Executive Committee, who invite, in the Baltimore Convention, "the cordial co-operation of all conservative "citizens who desire the restoration of con? stitutional government and the perpetua? tion of republican institutions." The State Convention, therefore, will represent all the elements of opposition to the present Fede? ral administration. It is not a reorganiza? tion of the State Democratic party; it is a council of conservative citizens, held under the auspices of the State Democratic com? mittee. And why is it so held ? Because, on account of the disbanding of the Reform party, there was no other machinery which could be used for the purpose. The well-understood object of tbe Colum? bia Convention is to choose delegates to tbe Baltimore Convention, which delegates shall be instructed to vote against a Democratic nomination and in favor of the endorsement of the Cincinnati candidates and platform. It is ngreed that if the Baltimore Couvention should, by any evil chance, nominate a third ticket, South Carolina and the Southern States In general will bo constrained to oc? cupy a passive position in the canvass. In going to Baltimore the South Carolina dele? gates proclaim the adhesion of the Demo? crats and Conservatives of this State to Greeley and Brown and the Cincinnati plat? form. What elements or antagonism or of | irritation can be round in this ? General Kershaw will hardly refuse to ad? mit that the "reform movement, wjthin the "Republican party" South Carolina, to which he and we hopefully look forward, must originate with the honest and intelli? gent members of that party. As well might we expect the leopard to change his spots, M to obtain reform by the free action of our Mackeys and Neagles. It is not in their Datare. The reform movement, if it come ?t all, will come from men of less notoriety | md greater virtue, who, happily for them ?elves, have stood in the rear rank for years. Will these men be antagonized by the public | ivownl that the white Conservatives, who ?ffer them a hearty co operation, are em? phatically in favor of electing a staunch Re publican as President of the United States'; WM the colored people, in the Ring or out of it, be irritated by the knowledge that the , Conservatives and old Democrats of the 11 State reaffirm the principles of the Union Reform movement of 1S70, and again de? clare with Horace Greeley that "all the po "litical rights and franchises which have "been acquired through our late bloody con? vulsion must and shall be guaranteed, "maintained, enjoyed and respected for "over?" To say that the nomination of a life-long Republican as the Democratic can? didate, and the acceptance of a E ^publican declaration of principles os tho Democratic j platform, will cause the Reform Republicans in this State to abandon their patriotic pur? pose, nod will lead the colored citizens to regard the whites with increased dislike, is to make a severe, and we believe unjust, re? flection upon the candor and integrity of j tho very men from whom Goceral Kershaw expects relief. Amnesty, Civil Service Re? form, Equal Rights, Decentralization, and Parity and Honesty everywhere will natu? rally be obnoxious to the scoundrels who live by defrauding the public, and who koow that the success of a Liberal Republican movement in South Carolina wouid send them out of the State, if not into the Peni- J tentiary. But these principles cannot be distasteful to any body of citizens, whatever their color or class, who are sincerely de? sirous of working a favorable change in the character of the government of the State. We go further: No bettor proof of the fair purposes and liberal opinions of the Demo? crats and Conservatives in this State could possibly be had than is given by their cordial and unanimous support of the Liberal Re? publican nomination. With us this is'no j death-bed repentance. Ia sustaining Gree? ley and Brown and accepting their platform, we only renew to-day the pledges made more than two years ago. South Carolina was the tirst State to secede; she ia called "the 'cradle of the rebellion." Let it also be re? membered of her that South Carolina was I the first Southern State in which tho .white citizens, in convention, afllrmed tho equal rights of all citizens before the law, and for? mally recognized the changes in the State and Federal Constitutions, consequent upon the bloody war of secession, as accomplished facts having the force and obligation or law. From President Grant and his Radical ! henchmen, we have nothing whatever to 1 Lope. We cannot be worse treated than wo have ber-i for two years and more. And even if President Grant were, re-elected the events of the canvass would force him, for bis sake, to lessen tho oppression and perse? cution which have given force and direction to the Liberal movement, and cause our military tyrant to totter on his throne. Nor will our inaction, even if it be culled "wise "moderation," disarm the prejudices which deny lo the whites their legitimate partici? pation in the puni ic a Hairs. What we can? not obtain by honest work and manifest j sincerity of thought und act, we cannot and will not obtain by folding our arms and trusting to Jupiter to save us. These are the conclusions ip which we have come. It will bo found that they are.J likewise the conclusions of the large majori- j ty of the conservative citizens of the State. The County Convention. The Hon. C. il. Simonton, the member of | the National Democratic Committee fori South ~ carolina, invites au citizens ~oT| Charleston County, "who are opposed to the "misrule of tho Railicul party now con troll? ing the Federal administration," to meet and elect delegates lo a County Convention, to be held in this city on Thursday next, which Convention will elect delogates to the State Convention to be held in Colombia on June ll. We like both the wording of the Invitation and the manner in which the del? egates are proposed to be chosen. The County Convention will be composed of all citizens who, in the words of the National Democratic Committee, desire "the restora? tion of constitutional government, and the perpetuation of republican institutions;"! and, as the movement springs directly from the people, assembled in primary meetings, there is no room for any manoeuvring which might prevent the Convention from being a frank and full expression of the popular will It is earnestly to be desired that citizens in the several wards and precincts who are in sympathy with the Liberal cause should take steps at once for holding an election of dele? gates to the County Convention. As nothing is said by Colonel Simonton with regard to the number of delegates to be chosen, we suggest that the delegations be elected according to the scale adopted in calling the County Convention in 1870. This would give 96 delegates in all, viz : City of Gharlestou, ti delegates from each ward; St. Andrews 6; St. James Santeo 3; St. James Goose Creek 8 ; St. John's Berkeley 9; St. John's Colle ton, 12; St. Thomas and St. Dennis 3; Christ Church 4; St. Stephen's 3.

B. & HEWITT, n: No. 84 WENTWORTH STREET, CBJARLESTO N, 8. C., I Can be consulted on the following diseases, and diseases of a kindred natnre, free of charge and in strict confidence. Charges mode? rate and within the reach of all. Of? fice noars from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M.: RHEUMATISM AND NEURALGIA. In all arthritic complaints, as rheumatism, gont, neuralgia, Ac, this practice la almost perfect. The most tnteaae pains are almost instantly re? lieved, enormous swellings are reduced, lim ba which have been contracted and sun for years are relaxed. Cases of twenty, thirty and forty yeats' Btandlng have been cured by me after all other means have failed. A great accomplishment ls my triumph over I pain by which I can often, in a few moments, soothe and carry off tho moat excruciating Buf? ferings. If this system did nothing more than to relieve pain, it wonid stand superior to any other system extant. CATARRH. I Stopped'up Head, Running of the Nose, coa ?tant Hawking and Spitting, constant Blowing of the Nose. Thousands suffer from that most annoying, dis agreeole and offensive complaint, Catarrh, with? out knowing what it ls. often tne secreted mu? cous, flowing down the throat, clogs np the lungs and laya the foundation for consomption. The most skillful physicians fail to cure it. I cnre any case of obstruction, aiopped-np head, discharges of greenish, thick, thin or glairy macons from the nose, internal or external, pain, or fairness between the eyes, constant blowing ol the nose, inflammation of the nasal passagea, ulceration of schnokierian membrane, dc, in the coarse or a few days. DEAFNESS. Nervous Deafness, Noises in the Head, Otorrbcea, Ol Ute (Discharge from the Ear,) Paralysis of Auditory Nerve. I am dally treating an affections of the ear with the most gratifying resolta. Some who had paid aurista nearly $1000 without Decent have been cared by me in a few weeks at a moderate ex? pense. MERCURIAL DISEASES. Mercury, injudiciously used, has filled the earth I -with wrecks ol humanity. Thousands surfer from 1 its effects who have been unconsciously drugged j by their physician. Itu vain to attempt the cure ! of the majority of diseases while lt remains in the body. Although I havo heard of several ao-calkd I antidotes ror mercury In toe human body, 1 have never yet seen a physician who conld eliminate it from the system. i can satis fy any patient or phys lean that I can absolutely abstract mercury, lead, zinc, and other mineral poisons m every case. CANCERS. NolimeTJtngere, La pase, or Wolf Cancer, Soir rhns Cancer, Fungoua'Cancer, Rose Cancer, Spider Cancer. I make a great specialty In the treatment of every description of Cancer and To ai o ra. How many Cancers ann Tumore are wron fully treated by certain charlatana styling themselves "Cancer Doctors."
