She was delivered of a still-born female child of gigantic proportions. -Theeditor ortho Westminster (Md.) Ad? vertiser, straight-out Democrat, hus had a re? velation, and breaks forth thus: "We went to Baltimore last week, and after-mingling with the people freely, found Baltimore for Horace Greeley.!'_ -The editor of the Mobile Register, writing after an Interview with Mr. Greeley, says: '.Indeed, Mr- Greeley Is open In the declara? tion that li we (I. e. the Democratic porty) do not help him, he will not stand to be crushed between the upper aha nether mill-stones, but j will come down." . -A mass meeting of Democrats was held at Atlanta, Ga., on the 18th Instant, lu opposl- - tion to putting lorin any ticket at ihe Baltl- j . more Convention. The Macon Telegraph ls j ''confident that Georgia, with the entire South, will rally to the standard of the honest : champion of the moderate Republicans." j -General E. L. Merritt, editor ot the Illi? nois 8tate Register, and the central organ of the Democracy of that State, writes, under - date of the 15th instant, that "the Illinois ( Democracy will go t? the Baltimore Conven- . tlon solid for Greeley and Brown." He adds a list of the entire Democratic press of the ' State, in which only lour papers oppose the \ Liberal-ticket -Hon. John Merry man, late State treasurer Of Maryland, writes, favoring tho adoption by the Democratic Convention of the Li De ral plat? form and candidates. "The Democrats of Maryland have never failed (he says) to show their sympathy with their Southern brethren. * Let Maryland, through her representatives in ( the National Convention, declare for the Cin- ( clnnati platform and candidates, and lt will be I a crowning act, cementing for all time 'her ( Southern sisters to her." , -Paul de Cassagnac ho? lost none of his , fire. In a recent number ot the Pays, he comments npon tho rumor that some one had been arrested with 35,000,000 francs on his per- 1 son, destined to Louis Napoleon, in the fol lowing ferocious manner: "Tbirty-flvo mil- . ions ! Oh, ye pure and immaculate snobs of - Democracy, If we had such a sum we should t have. been back long ago. We would have t bought you neck and crop-every man of you ? -and have still a handsome balance left." : -The farmers In England ore beginning to give way before the bold stand' made by the . laborers. They have raised wages from eleven and twelve shillings, pet woek to four- 1 teen and fifteen shillings, but the Laborers' 1 Union still deina ad sixteen shillings, and thc 1 farmers wilV probably have to give way, as ? labor-ls veryooaree, hundreds o? men having t left the agricultural districts for the towns and rj the coal and Iron districts, and unless some- t thing be done the Jarmers will be In a very ? awkward position at harvest time. -Tbe United States House of Representa- 1 lives on Friday, Inserted In the civil approprl- L ation bill an appropriation of $2,500,000 to pay ( Southern claimants the amounts due them 1 under mail contracts existing prior to Mt.7 1, 1 1869. A proviso that such payment should be 1 made onlyvon^roof of '.'loyalty" was stricken 1 out. The sam? bill appropriates $3,000,000 to < be expended by the department of justice in -? prosecution of the Southern people unper the [ Ku-Klux bili. This latter would seem tobe ", Intended as an abundant set-off for the former measure. ' ' -With the beginning of the stammer travel 1 on the Hudson Rive- oommence the rivalries 1 of the respective steamboat lines running . from New York to Albany and Troy. The \ rate ot transportation ls much lower at pres- ] ent than for several years past, owing to the t competition between the two companies now -atruggllngfor the public favor. So great ls * this competition that passengers are carried from, New York to Catskill, a most delightful mountain resort, In the Hudson Highlands, ror ted cents, and the price o? a ticket to Albany 1 and Troy ls only fifty cents. As this spirit o? rivalry will probably be maintained during the season, a lively travel may be anticipated along thia noble and historic stream. -The press pretty generally pronounces Mr. 1 Greeley's letter accepting the Liberal nomi? nation on able and vigorous paper, some ol ! the opposition even styling it courageous, while a single Journal, the New York Post, merely regards it as "cunning." From this point the line of comment divides. The ad? ministration papers say that the life has been taken out of lt by the action of Congress in passing what they call the amnesty act, a par? tial and hence ungracious measure at this late day. 1 hey also speak of lt as a bid for Demo? crat lc?8upporL A straight-out Democrat lc paper savs that In it Mr. Greeley departs from his llle long principles, as that paper under? stands them. One Free Trade paper speaks of Mr. Greeley "as willing to hide his pro? tectionist proclivities under a mass of words." But however adverse the line of criticism, or however inimical to Mr. Greeley may be the critic, not ono undertakes to pronounce the letter anything short of a first-class document in point of tone as well as method. Those who speak for Southern sen? timent point ont that in it Mr. Greeley touches a chord which ls quick to respond generously to its generous sentiment. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun wrltee: "Several Democratic Southern members who were not disposed to favor the nomination now admit that they are willing to stand by him if he will abide by his letter." Tbe Columbia Convention . The State Convention, called by the Dem cratic Executive Committee, will be beld tn Columbia on Tuesday, the 11th of June. That Convention will declare the policy which shall be pursued with regard to the Baltimore Convention, and the Liberal Re? publican movement; ant! we trust that every County will promptly choose delegates, in order that the Convention may truly express the will of the Democratic and Liberal citi? zens ot the State. It is our deliberate opinion that South Carolina should send a strong delegation to Baltimore, instructed to vote against a Democratic nomination, and in favor of tbe adoption of the Cincinnati candidates. There ie, here and there, a show of opposition to this course, the objection being that any re? organization of thc Democratic party, and any participation in National politics, will place insuperable difficulties iq the woy of ob? taining reform in the government of the State. Naturally enough, we thiuk that there is no force in these views, and that all the strength of the argument is on the side of making a stout effort to prevent the rejection of Gree? ley and Brown through the scheming of a squad of disaffected politicians. But this question can best be settled on the door of the Columbia Convention, and we therefore suggest that tboso who desire to bury the Democratic party, and to let Federal politics severely alone, can hardly afford to give the Convention tho cold shoulder. The Conven? tion will be held, and tbe counties wbicli are in favor .oi* sending a delegation to Balti nore will certainly be represented. Unless .bose who urge a different course are willing ;hat the question should go against them by lefault, "they should n?tltt?y?way. "We be? lieve that they will? be argued down; but .hey will have fair play, and they can hardly -efuse to be bound by the action of the ma ority. Should they desire, moreover, to ormally disband the Democratic party in .bis State, aud convertit into a Conservative )arty like that which sweeps everything bo? oro it in Virginia, they are not likely to lind i better opportunity or obtaining a full liear og, and an honest verdict One county should not wait for another, riiey may act simultaneously, elect their lelegates on Monday next, and let thc State Convention, in numbers and ability, be a ?vorthy representative of tile intelligence, .he wealth and the liberal conservatism of ;he State. No Joke. T/te Nation i-r sadly mistaken if it thinks hat any class nf Southerners look on Horace ?reeley as "a ridiculous old fool,'' and will lo their best lo i natal him at tho White louse "as a bitter, revengeful joke." No >tber Republican could uavebeen nominated vho would have been as strong iu the Soutb ta Horace Greeley is. Charles Francis Adams could not have polled one-third of the rote which Mr. Greeley will obtain. There s no joke about it Mr. Greeley is known o be an original Abolitionist, an uncompro nising Republican, and an unswerving Pro ecticnist; but his whole life shows bim to be in honest man, who will scourge "the thiev? ing carpet-bagger," who will see that equal ustice ls done to whites and blacks, who rill put none bat good men in office, who, in tis own ringing words, will be the President lot of a party, but of the whole people. The lomination or Horace Greeley is an olive ?rauch. extended to the South. No Northern nan can doubt his loyalty and his devotion 0 the Republican party. No Southerner can loubt his love of jnstice, his desire.to give be whole country amnesty and peace. The tooth pays little heed to eccentricities of nanner and garb,.when the question is one tpon -wbose wise solution the weal of the :ountry depends. And striking down to the leart and up to tho brain, the South knows dy intuition, by an impulse which cannot err, that Horace Greeley is the one man who can cause North and South to join hands-the Mie mon who can make thia, in very truth, 1 united people. This is why he is so heartily and unanimously supported by the South. There is no bitterness in it no revenge that would be incompatible with a sincere indorsement of Horace Greeley, and hypoc? risy is not a Southern failing. If The Nation really dreads the election of the ?vood-chopper of Chappuqua, it will Und in November that the Southern acceptance Of he Cincinnati nomination is not so much of i joke after all. A MEETING will be held at Union Court jouse on Monday next to elect delegates to represent the wishes and reelings of the Democrats of the county in the State Con? vention. THE Columbia Carolinian is authorized to say that GeneralJ. B. Kershaw is "one or "those who favor the assembling" of the State Democratic Convention. Democratic Reorganization. We do not see that the holding of a State Democratic Convention implies the perma? nent reorganization of the Democratic party in this State. The Convention will be com? posed of all the elements of opposition to the Grant administration, and it may dub it? self a Conservative Convention or a Reform Convention, wilhout depriving itself of the right to send delegates to Baltimore. When that is done, the functions of the Convention will cease. This State cannot touch a Dem? ocratic candidate, ii thc Ballimore Conven? tion should nominate one; and in order that Greeley and Brown may be most effectively supported, io the event of their endorsement by the National Democracy, it is be3t that a j Liberal movement be organized by Republi? cans, with whom the Conservatives can work and vote. The business of the Colum? bia Convention is lo say whether the Libe? rals and Democrats of Soutb Carolina shall make tbemselve heard in Baltimore as the advocates of Greeley and Brown. That's all. Move at Once. The wards and precincts in Charleston County must elect their delegates not later than Wednesday night, or they cannot be represented in the County Convention, which assembles on Thursday morning. Re? member that the County Convention and the State Convention will not be composed of old line Democrats alone ! All citizens who are opposed to the rn ?sraleof the Radical party now controlling the Federal adminis? tration are entitled to take part in ibo elec? tion of delegates, and are eligible themselves as delegates. No man who is honestly desi? rous of reforming the government wiil Und himself out of place at tbe meetings here and in Columbia. Let the meetings be full, and let the wards move at once. There is no time to lose ! Not Exactly Bolt I" The Columbia Phoenix asks if we have any right to take part in the proceedings of the Ballimore Convention, if we are not wil liDg to abide by the action of the Conven? tion ? We say tbat we cun do what Virginia ' proposes to do, and what the rest of the South is expected- to do. The South Curo lina delegates can bc instructed to with? draw in case the Convention shall decide to make a new nomination. If they lake no part in the nomination of candidates, the Stute will be free to support Greeley and BrowD, or to remain absolutely passive in the contest. The obligation to stand by the nominees is not incurred unless tbe Slate lakes part iu making them ; but the failure to lake part in tbe nomination will not pre? vent the people from supporting the new candidates, if so disposed. That is clear enough. fostettcr's Sitters. JBbT* A WHOLESOME 8TIMUJLANT1 THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PORE.-Physicians throughout the world agree os to the necessity for dltruslve stimulants in medical practice, but com? plain, and with good reason, of the impossibility or obtaining them pure. The difficulty here pre? sented would be a serions one indeed, ir the class or agents was limited to ?lie adulterated liquors and wines ot trade, lt vunlHhcs, however, when properties or HO-jTETTER'S HITTERS are tasen Into consideration. As a stimulant, the article Is absolutely free from everything objectionable; but this ls only one of its recommendations. If lt wera nothing more than an excitant, its effects would be fleeting. It might refresh and revive the system for a few minutes, but could produce no permanent b9neflt. The stimulating clements or the Bitters Is a means, not an end. The tonic, antl-blllous, depuratlve and aperient vegetable juices combined in thc preparation are the agents that impart vigor and regularity to the weaken? ed and disordered organization, the spirituous principle being chlchy useful In diffusing their In? fluence through the system and otherwise facili? tating their operation. Alcohol, even In Ks purest form, ls not so mp ch a medicine as a motive pow? er, by which the specific' or the vegetable king? dom may be brought to bear upon the debilitated and disordered organs thaf require renovating and regulating; and lt ls la this way that the pare essence of rye Incorporated lu flostetter's Bitters Increases the eutcieucy of the purely medical In? gredients. may27-mwf3D&c So Hem.
