of th? Baltimore Convention.
Aa the position of tbe Hon. August Belmont,
chairman of the National Democratic Execu?
tive Committee, has been misrepresented, the
Cincinnati Commercial prints, with bis permis- j
sion, the following letters, which give his
vie WB on the political issues of the hour :
LONG) ISLAND. May 21, 1872.
My Dear Sir-Your klod letter ol the 17lb
Insiant. reached me here, and lu reply I beg to
express to you my thanks lor the flattering
cou?dence which you manifest for my Judg?
ment and sincerity of purpose.
I may err tn my appreciation of the difficul?
ties which surround us, but I can say, without
egotism, that I merit your good opinion as io
the sincerity or my l ni em ions. So much am I
Impressed with the fatal consequences In store
i 01 our common conni ry by the re-election ol'|
Grant that I could willingly vote for my dead -
Hebt J enemy In order to prevent such a catas?
trophe. Tbe nomination of Greeley ls one of
those stupendous mistakes which ll ls difficult I
evento comprehend; but lt ls now an accom?
plished fact, and we have to deal with lt as
best we can. I take lt for granted that all
think Inc men bave come to tue conclusion by
thia time that the. Domination of a straight
Democratic ticket at Baltimore will either eiect I
Grant by ibe people-In case of Greeley's with?
drawal-or throw tbe election Into the House,
If Greeley should stand a poll, and theo, also
Grant will sure to be elected. If the conven?
tion can be got to nominate Greeley at Balti?
more, with anything like unanimity, the large
body of the Democratic party throughout tue
country will vote for bim, and we shall have
enongh Bepubllcan votes to make tbe election
more than probable, even if we should lore
one-ten th ol our vote by defection and .apathy.
Whether this nomi nailon eau be brought
about remains a serious question, and I am
not able even to form a judgment on this point
at this early day. At present many leading
men and party organs, besides a very large
portion of toe German vote, are bitterly op
Sos ed io him. Between now and the 9th of j
uly Greeley's strength must show au increase [
or decline, and lt will then be for our conven?
tion to adopt what course may be deemed
wisest. Though he is to me almost the mott
objectionable person whom (he Liberals could i
select, still I am decidedly of the opinion that i
our best policy will be to endorse the Cl nein- ]
natl platiorm and ticket. This Is the general c
teellug In this State, and our delegation to i
Baltimore ls, by a large majority, composed of \
Greeley men. As our delegation votes as a t
unit, you may set the vote ol New York down f
as almost certain tor Greeley. I was not at I
Rochester, and have been left off the Hst or |
delegates, most probably on account of the 1
hostile position or ihe World and Staats Zel- t
tung agjalDBt the Cincinnati nominees, as the <
delegation undoubtedly was selected with but i
that one Idea of making lt sure for Greeley, A I
moat absurd story ba?, for years past, been ?
starte^ and generally credited-that I am a I
large shareholder In ibe World, and control Its ?
tendencies. I have never held a single share t
In it, and do not exercise any Influence over 1
Its editorials. c
Should circumstances shape themselves -so i
tbat the Liberals desert the Cincinnati ticket [
between now and July, and tbat we see a | <
chance for success by a separate ticket, then I
hope that the choice may fall on Groesbeck. 11
He. with Sanford Church or J. Q. Adams, | c
would make a stronger ticket tban any other
combination. 11
Yon?, very truly, 11

not lost strength in our State, and the meeting t

A PRECIOUS DELEGATION.
Bow South Carolina was Urpreaented
at Philadelphia.
Sam Bowles, the editor of that able, Inde?
pendent ernd sprightly sheet, the Springfield I
(Mass.) Republican, writes from Ihe Grant j
Convention at Philadelphia:
Take the South Carolina delegates. Wba' j
do ibby represent ? Tue most vlilanous gov
erement ever seen In a Iree Christian com
monwealth-a government which la only
synonym for scientific scouodrelism and or?
ganized pillage. A few unscrupulous and
avaricious adventurers bave temporarily con?
fiscated a State of the American Uulon to 11
their private use and emolument. They have
lou nd a lew native born rascals as unscrupu?
lous as themselves, and taken them Into part?
nership. Tbey b&ve secured the Ignorant
negroes by a pystem of secret oath-hound
societies; by skilfully appealing to their
resentments and their fears-In which
the Klux Klux Insanity bas, of course, been
of Invaluable assistance ip them; by the
music of the Republican name; and by divid?
ing office and plunder with tbelr leaders, al?
ways reserving for themselves, however, the
lion's share. The history ot their shameful
rule ls known to the American people. Yet
these fellows call them-elves Republicans,
bold up their beads with the best, and cheer
lor Grant wlih the loudest. They come Into I
the National Convention, their bands reeking
from corrupt jobs, their pockets heavy with
stolen money, und sit down on equal terms
with the representatives of Massae nu se tu.
BOLTING FROM GRANT.
Defection of st Leading Republican
^ Journal.
.' The Syracuse (N. Y.j Slandr.rd, of which
General H. A. Bato mn is editor, which has
awaited tbe action of the Philadelphia Con?
vention before taking a decided stand, cornea
ont to-day. with a sharp editorial reluslng to
support the ticket. It says:
If at any time we have Intimated that, under
any circumstances, we could support General
Grant for President, lt bas been upon the im?
pression that some of his derelict lons were
susceptible of explanation, and that he would
be fftaced apon a platform generous In Hs In?
spiration and broad in Its scope. Now thai
bis most gifted and ardent champions are
obliged to confess ihe Indictment against him
sustained, and tbe platform upon which be
stands fails to come up to the liberal standard
of peace and Oood will, whose adoption alone
comprehends the prosperity of the republic
and the supremacy of liberty and law, we
would be without excuse if we sustained him.
It needs but few words to declare our opposi?
tion to the re-election of President Grant
under ibe unhappy auspices ot tha Philadel?
phia Convention. Thus conscientiously be?
lieving, proud as ever of tbe achievements of
the Bepubllcan parly, devoted as ever to the
principles upon which lt was founded, and
which have been stricken to tbe earth by
those whom an untoward fate bas lifted loto
Its leadership, aod deeply regretting the ne?
cessity which ls upon us, we repudiate the ac?
tion o? the convention and decline lo support
Its nominees.

[FROM OUR TRAVELLING COKRKSPONDBNT.]
ORANOEBORG, June 8.
Orangeburg Is one ot the most prosperous
towns In our State. The business portion was
burnt by Sherman, but now, after the lapse of
only a few rears, while other towns along the
march of that Great Destroyer still point back
to him In their pictures of desolation, here ail
traces of his rntbleBs hand has disappeared,
the place is as neat and ires h and large as If
lt had never lelt the weight of that hana. Or?
angeburg was, tor a ion,' time alter thu close
ot the war, the noribern terminus of the
South Carolina Railroad, and lia present flour?
ishing condition is principally due to this fact.
It became the depot tor tuousands of bales of
cotton, and a vast amount of other produce
brought down in wagons from the Interior.
The wagons were paid liberally ior their ser?
vices, and, of course, Bpent their money
freely. At thal lime lt was not uncommon
for the merchants to make cash sal? s
to the amount ol Ht teen tumored dollars per
day. A Charleston gen ile mun who had failed
at business In that city belora the war is said
to have cleared fifteen thousand dollars here
In the course of a few months. He specula?
ted In cotton. The houses are built princi?
pally upon one street, which run nearly north
and south, and is about one mile long. The
residences occupy the northern end uf this
sireer, and the business houses the southern.
A project ls now on foot to open another
street on a line parallel with this one lu o der
to afford roomy thoroughfare directly from
the railroad depot to me business centre, a
convenience not now possessed. There are
very few brick buildings in Orangeburg. It
contuins a great many stores; most of these
are two story wooden structures. Prices are
very lillie above the Charleston retail rate.?.
The leading merchants are Messrs. Rull.
Scovlll & Pike, Geo. H. Curoelson, P. H.
Briggman Az Co., D. Louts, Felder, Vose &
Izlur, John A. Hamilton. Jos. McNamara, E.
Ezekiel, V7. T. Lighifoot, W. F. Muller, T.
Kohn & Bro., T. A. Jeff irds & Co., W. A. Me
roney and Curt mill & Vince in general mer?
chandise. Tne principal drug etore is owned
and kept by Dr. E. J. Olivero?, aud the only
book store by Mr. Kirk Ro ol nson.
The Citizens1 Savings Bank, of Charleston,
lias established a branch up here, under tne
management of Mr. James H. Fowles. Two
>ractlclng dentists are located here-Dr. T. B.
Legare and Dr. F. Fersner. Good houses
summand from three to four hundred dollars
-ent per year. A traci of land within the cor?
porate, limits, containing about one hundred
teres, sold a few days since for nine thousand
lollara, cash. The old Orangeburg Female
Academy ls now th. ClaHio University; it was
jurchased just alter the war by a company of
Northern philanthropist?, and opened under ,
his name lor the education of colored youths
>f both sexes. The same company have
'ecently purchased an adjoining farm, the
ract spoken ot above, upou which they pro- ,
jose to erect an agricultural college for simi- .
ar purposes. The crops In this section are
generally good, bolh of corn and cotton ; some ,
ire very floe. About twelve miles north ot
1?re, on the State road, a large quantity ol field .
sorn on the point ol tasseling ls to be seen.
Several refreshing showers of rain bavo ,
>ccurred this week, but in some parts of the
sounty more is needed.
The Radicals of this county will probably go
na mass for Gran'. Greeley is strongly en
iorsed by the Democrats. The State senator
sleet ot Oranoeburg County has got himself ,
nto trouble. He ls apparently a Arm believer
n the political principle that the State ls the
servant of the people, and In an hour of sore
teed he endeavored to apply this princlole lo
he county by quietly drawing a check on the
reasury In the treasurer's name. An attempt
0 have this check discounted a few evenings
igo at the counter ofajyomioejit^rmjre
ilci^'nif?ieTaud he now sojourns wit hin the
?ospltable walls of the county jail, and medi?
ates on the vanities of life when the stars
some out to keep his company. This model
lenator has twice before been convicted of
ictual theft, and was balled out Of Jail but a
lay or two before he committed this forgery.
Orangeburg ls the birthplace of the scheme
if reviving the Charleston Republican. Il
teems at first to have been a Jouit stock
enterprise, and its late assistant editor,
f. Felder Myers, ls said to have drawn
1 thousand dollars from the county treasury
ind invested the same in the stock. Myers
s one of the county commissioners; he was
ndtcted for this act by the grund jury a lew
weeks ago, and ls now awaiting Ulai.

MATAMORAS, June 8.,
The revolutionists under Querogu having re?
captured Monterey on the 4ut Instant, beiore
general Caballos could reach there wilh rein
torcements, Queroga turned on Caballos with
all his loree aud compelled him to retreat to
Mier, where be was yesterday. It ls believed
to-day that Caballos cannot remain lu the field
against Ibe insurgents with his present torce,
and that he ls retreating on M a tam o rae to
shelter himself behind the forts and national
guard. Several of General Caballo'a heavy
guntt have reached Reynosa, having been sent
in advance to prevent, their retarding the re?
treat. General Queroga's force ls estimated al
5000, having impressed Into his service 1500
prisoners captured (rom General Corellos lu
the engagements at Monterey. General Ca?
ballos Issued a proclamation at Mler yester?
day, acknowledging i he disaster at Monterey
and its recapture by the revolutionists and
their advance upon his force, and indicating
the probability ot his retreat here, which ts
now being executed. Another siege of Mata
moras ls imminent, with the prestige of the
recent success in iavor of the revolutionists.

THE GRANT PLATFORM.
FULL TEXT OF TBE PHIL A HELPBIA
RESOLUTIONS.
An Equivocating Document-Coquet?
ting -with the Protectionists-A Tub
for the Female Whale.
The full text of the Grant platform Is worth
reading, ll only for the purpose of comparing
Its halting commonplaces with the crisp deci?
siveness and clear ring of the Liberal Republi?
can declaratlou ol principles :
THE PLATFORM.
The Republican pany of ihe United States,
assembled In National Convention, in the Ciiy
01 Philadelphia, on the filth and sixth days of
June, 1872, again declares Its faith, appeals to
its history, aud announces its position upon
questions before the country.
First. During the eleven years of Its supre?
macy il has accepted with grand courage the
solemn duties of the time. It suppressed a
a gigantic rebellion, emancipated four millions
ol slave?, decreed the equal cuizeDshlp of all,
and established nnlven-al suffrage; exhibiting
unparalleled magnanimity, lt criminally pun?
ished no man lor political offences, and warm?
ly welcomed all who proved their loyalty by
obtiyiog me laws and dealing justly wi tn their
neighbors; IC has steadily decreased with
a firm hand Ihe resultant disorders ot a great
war, and Initiated a wise policy toward the
Indians. The Pacific Railroad and similar vast
enterprises have been generously aided and
successfully conducted; the public lauds freely
given to actual sei tiers; immigration protect?
ed and encouraged, and a full acknowledg?
ment ol naturalized citizens' rights secured
from European powers; a uniform currency
has been provided, repudiation frowned down;
the nui ional credit sustained under most ex?
traordinary burdens, and new bonds negoil
ted at lower rutes; the revenues have been
carefully collected and honesily applied; de?
spite the annual lanre reductions ot the rates
ot tixatlon, the oublie debt has been reduced
dining General Grant's Preeldeocy at the rate
of one Hundred million dollars a year; a great
dnanciul crisis has been averted, and peace
and plenty prevail throughout the land; me?
nacing foreign difficulties have been peacefully
and houorauly compromised, and the honor
and power of the nanon kept in high respect
throughout the world. Tuts glorious record
ol' the past In the party's best pledge for the .
future. We believe tbe*people will not en?
tri?t the government lo any party or combi?
nation of men composed chiefly ol (hose who
have i esl s ted at every step this beneficial
progress.
Second. Complele liberty and exact equality
io the enjoyment of a I civil, po: ir leal and pub?
lic rights should be established and effectually
maintained throughout the Union by efficient
and appropriate Stale and Federal legislation.
Neither ihe law nor its administration should
admit of any discrimination In respect lo the
citizen, by reason of race, creed, color, or pre?
vious condition of servitude.
Third. Thu recent amendments to the na?
tional constitution should be cordially sustain- 1
ed because they are right, not merely tolerat?
ed because they were law, and should be car?
ried out according to their spirit by appropri?
ate legislation, the enforcement ol -winch can
be safely trusted only to the party that secur?
ed lliose amendments.
Fourth. The national government should
seek to maintain au honorable peace with all
nations, protecting Its citizens everywhere,
and sympathizing with all peoples who strive
tor greater liberty.
Filth. Any system of civil service under
which the subordinate positions of the gov?
ernment are considered rewards for mere
party zeal ls lalalty demoralizing, aod we
therefore favor a reform of the system by
lawB which shall abolish the evils of patron?
age, and make honesty, efficiency and fidelity
essential qualifications for public position,
wlihout practically creal!Dg a life tenure of
office.
and demand that the national domain be set
apart for tree homes for the people.
Seventh. The annual revenues, after pay?
ing curreut debt?, snould furnish a moderaie
balance for the reduction of ihe principal, aod
revenue-except so much BB may be derived
from a tax ou tobacco and liquors-io be
raised by dulles on Importations, the duties ot
wnich should be so adjusted as io aid In secur?
ing remunerative wages to labor and promote
the Industries, growtu aud prosperity of the
whole country.
Eighth. We hold In undying honor the sol?
diers and sailors whose valor saved the Union;
their pensions are a sacred debt of the nation ;
and ihe widows and orphans of those who
died for their country are entitled to ihe care
ufa generous and grate I ul people. We favor
such addli Ional legislation as will extend the
bounty of the government to all ot our sol?
diers and sailors who were honorably dis?
charged, and who, lu the Hue of duly, became
disabled, without regard to length of service
or cause of such discharge.
Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain and
other European powers concerning allegiance,
"Once a subject, always a subject," having at
last, through the efforts ot the Republican
party, been abandoned, and the American
Idea of an individuara right io transfer bis al?
legiance having been accepted by European
nations, lt ls me duty of our government to
guard with Jealous care the rights of adopted
citizens against the assumption of unauthor?
ized claims by their former government, and
we urge continual and carelul encouragement
and protection lo voluntary Immigration.
Tenth. Tne fran king privilege ought to be
abolished and the way prepared for a speedy
reduction iu ihe rates of postage.
Eleventh. Among the questions which press
lor attention is tnat whlcu concerns the rela?
tions of capital and labor, and the Republican
party recognize the duly ol BO shaping legisla?
tion as io secure full protection and the am?
plest field (or capital; aud for labor, the crea?
tor of capital, tbe largest opportunities and a
Just share ol the mumal profits of these two
great servants of civilization.
T wei uh. We hold that Congress and the
President have only fulfilled an Imperative
duly lu their measures for tue suppression of
violent und treasonable organizations in cer?
tain lately rebellious regions, aud for the pro?
tection of the ballot box, und therefore they
are entitled to the thanks ol the nailon.
Thirteenth. We denounce ihe repudiation of
the public debt In any f.irm or disguise as a
national crime. We witness with pride the
reduction ol the principal of the debt, and of
ihe rates ol' Interest upon the balance, and
confidently expect ihut our excellent nat ional
currency will be perfected by a speedy re?
sumption of specie payment.
Fourteenth. Tue Republican party ls mind?
ful of Its obligations to the loyal women of
America for their noble devotion to the cans**
of freedom; their admission lo wider fields of
useiuluess is received with satisfaction, and
honest demands of any class of citizens for
additional rights should be treated with re?
aped ful consideration.
Fifteenth. We heartily approve the action ol'
Congress in extending amnesty to those lately
in rebellion, and rejoice in ihe growth of peace
and fraternal feeling throughout the land.
Sixteenth. The Republican party propose to
respect the rights reserved by tue people to
themselves as carefully as the powers delega?
ted by them to the State and to the Federal
Government. It disapproves of the resort lo
unconstitutional laws for the purpose of re?
moving evils by Interference with rights not
surrendered by the people to either the State
or National Government.
Seventeenth. It is the duty of the General
Government to adopt such measures as will
tend to encourage American commerce and
ship-building.
Eighteenth. We believe that ihe modest pa?
triotism, the earnest purpose, sound Judg?
ment, practical wisdom, incnrriptible Integ?
rity and Illustrious services of UlysBeB S. Grant
have commended him to the heart ol' the
American people, and with him ut our head
we start to day on a new march io victory.

The procession formed at eleven o'clock,

LARGE FIRE IN SAVANNAH.
Loss Fifteen Thousand Dollars.
[Pi om the Savannah News, June 10.]
Yesterday morning about one o'clock the
policeman on duty In the vicinity discovered
?moke issuing irom the building on the north?
west comer of St. Julian undBuil streets, and
gave ihe alarm. Attention was first attracted
by the smell ot turpentine, and Immediately
aiierwards smoke poured out through the
doors aud basement. The department re?
sponded promptly, but lhere was some unac?
countable delay oi ten minutes or more In get?
ting water on the fire, which by this time had
assumed a serious appearance. Thc angry
flames leaped from tue tecond story, which
III a few minutes was completely enveloped,
and a breeze blowing at the time, there was a
fair prospect that the fire king's levy would
comprise several thousand dollars, and the re?
sult proved the anticipation correct. The fire?
men worked with untiring energy, but there
Is little doubt the entire bluck to Whitaker
street would have been destroyed but for the
brick wall lo the middle of the block. The
buildings were old, and the lmflammable
character o? the stock of Messrs. J. G. Butler
&, Co.'s paint store only accelerated the on?
ward march of ihe fiery monster. The ad?
joining tenements on the west, both on the
Bryan and St. Julian streets sides, and those
Imming on Bull street, were razed to the
ground as far as the bi lek wall at the east of
J?8ij^E&WJ'^.Qff^^Jh^ teriMJgca ay
nre from the root of the burning stores and
also by water. But lor tue loss and distress lt |
might have occasioned, there are lew who
would have regretted the destruction ol the
entire block, as there ls not a building
in lt at ali ornamental. The heat was
ntense in the vicinity of the fire, and
pori lons ol the outside wood work ol the Pu?
laski House opposite were badly scorched.
Mr. Keeley, who keeps the stables adjoining
the PulusKi House, had histotock removed ou
account of the great lieut, but lhere was no

Platt apologized; whereupou Blaine regretted
that the unprecedented charge had provoked
him to say mat Platt was either grossly Igno?

SIPI'IXGS FROM PUNCB.
AN EARLY QUIBBLE.
George : "There. Aunt Mary I what do you
think ot that? I drew ihe horse and Ethel
drew the Jockey!" Aunt Mary: "H'm! But
what would mamma say to your drawing
jockeys ou a sunday ?" George : "Ah, but
look uere ! We've drawn him tiding to church,
you know !"
AS UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
Teacher : "What bird did Noah send out of j
the ark ?" Smallest boy In tne class, after a j
pause: "Adove, sir." Teacher: "Very well.
But I should nave thought some ot you big
boya would have known that." Tall Pupil :
"Please, sir, that boy ought lo know, sir,
'cause his lainer's a bird-ketcher, slr !"
CIVILITY AND ADVICE.
Somebody finds this In the Guardian :
"Can a brother clergyman recommend, for I
a county rectory, a trustworthy homely couple
-wile as cook, ?.1K6. aod dairy; maa aroota,
gardener, and milk? Address, sta lug wa?

Mr. Punch ls ever courteous. He resembles j
the gentleman lu Broad Grins, who was found
one night pulling violently at an apothecary's
door-beli (having DO business with that medi?
cal person) and who handsomely excused him- ]
sell :
" 'Tis time for bed, and I was hastening to P,
Bat when yon write up 'please io ring the bell,'
Common politeness makes ILB t top and do it."
He is not a brother clergyman, save In the j
sense that he is a "learned clerk," but he an?
swers the advertisement by eluting mat he
cannot recommend anybody of the sort re?
quired. But lie caa recommend the reverend
advertiser to procure a Lindley Murray, and
co study the same, and men be will not call
a respectable woman a bake, or ber busband
