Por? ter-Mneteen Counties In Council - Probable Tenor of tbe Resolutions. [ SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THB NEWS ] COLUMBIA, Tuesday Night, June ll. The State Democratic Convention was call- i ed to order at fifteen minutes past eight this evening by Captain W. B. Stanley, of the Democratic executive committee. Carolina ? Hall, the place of meeting, was crowded with the delegates and an intelligent and interest? ed body of spectators. Colonel Simeon Fair, of Newberry, was nominated by Captain Stanley for temporary chairman, and unanl-1 mously elected. Colonel Fair congratulated the convention on the auspi jious surround? ings. It bad assembled in a day of general amnesty, and under the protection ol the great ? v. rit di habeas corpus. Mr. John F. Britton was elected temporary secretary, but declined. Mr. E. B. White, of j Charleston, was then elected. Eighty-seven delegates were present, repre? senting nineteen counties. General Butler moved that a committee of, nine be appointed to nominate permanent officers. The motion was opposed by the Charleston delegation and lost. Mr. H. P. O'Connor then moved to elect the Hon. W. D. Porter by acclamation. Carried unanimously. Mr. Porter being escorted to the chair, thanked the convention. He referred to the importance of Its deliberations, and said that he would not rehearse the story of our wrongs, but corruption and dishoaeaty at home, and tyranny and usurpation in Wash? ington, had driven our people almost to ihe verge of desperation. Now there was a gleam ol light. A few brave, honest men of the great Republican party have revolted against Its usurpations, and proclaimed a declaration of principles by which the country may be rescued. These were: the subordi? nation of the military to the civil power, non-suspension of the habeas corpus in time of peace, and a firm resistance to the centralizing policy of the present administra? tion, v The amnesty and restoration of the habeas corpus, accorded by Congress, were the direct fruits of the Cincinnati movement, and wonld never have Seen granted without lt. TblB declaration of principles he believed acceptable to the people of the State; and he believed, also, that the individuals put forward to represent those princi ? pies were acceptable to South Carolina. SBj [Applause.] He thought tbe time had come for South Carolina to range hertel! In line with her steter States. It was ?ne to them and to ber that she should take her share In the councils and action of the great national party about to assemble. [Applause.] Every, thing depends upon the action at Baltimore. The National Convention have the power to elect Ulysses Grant, or to elect Horace Gree? ley. One thing Is certain. The only manne to defeat Grant te to unite with the Liberal Republicans In solid phalanx, and we will carry our political apostles, Greeley and Brown, on onr locked shields to victory. [Applause.] Mr. White was then elected permanent sec-1 rotary, and the convention was then declared ready tor business. Mr. O'Connor offered resolutions that the convention recognize in the Cincinnati move? ment tbe only security for the overthrow of the present administration, approve and endorse the Cincinnati platform, and instruct the South Carolina delegates to urge no nomi? nation at Baltimore. On motion of Mr. T$F. Simons, the chair waa directed to appoint a committee of nineteen to consider all resolutions. The chair appointed Messrs. O'Connor, Hearst, McClure, Warley, Malloy, Stokes, Dunn, Chesnut, Carter, Fair, Aiken, Goodwin, Bowen, Butler, Frazer, Wallace, Samson, Jones and Meetze. Resolutions were then introduced by Gene? ral E. M. Law and Mr. John F. Britton, strongly endorsing the Cincinnati platform, and urging that no separate nominations be I made. These were applauded, as was Gree ley's uame, whenever mentioned. Mr. E. F. Stokes offered a resolution looking to a I straight nomination at Baltimore. It waa received in ominous silence. The convention, at 9.35 P. M., adjourned until 9 A. M to-morrow. The committee on resolutions are In session ICH:i?ht. They will report a series of resolu? tions, consisting ot those offered by Mr. O'Con? nor, with a few unimportant changes. PICKET. THE &REAT NEW YORK STRIKES. NEW TORE, June ll. There ls nothing new lo relation to the strikers this afternoon. The movement seems to be collapsing. . COLONEL FISK'S RAILROAD FASS. [From the Bangor (Me.) Whig.] Conductor Pratt ot the passenger train run? ning between this city and Matlawamkeag, asked a fat, comfortable looking old lellow lor his ticket the other night, when the old chap waived his hand benevolently, answered "Pass," and spread himself over two seats again. He was quite Indignant when the genial conductor asked to see the pass, and with much grumbling pulled out ot a creasy wallet a freight receipt of the Sanford line of steamers, endorsed : ??Pleas Pas-i this Man if he Paya his fair If he donut Pa Y lt Put him or. "Mot good unless countersigned by .'J. FISK Jr." On being further questioned, the gentleman with a pass said be could not read writing very well, but did not doubt that bis pass was good for an unlimited time over all the rail? roads in the United 8tatee, as Jim Ftek gave lt io him In Boslon last summer, and he "had travelled considerable on lt," He paid hi? fare with not a very good grace, and got off Che cars swearing vengeance on the individual wno "sold" him the pass. NEWS FI?OM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, June ll. The White House Is vacant, the occupants having gone to Long Branch. The Herald's Wasnlngion dispatch says the failure of the Treal? of Washington, sj far as lt relates lo the Alabama claims, ts at last con? ceded by the President. Minister Schenck and Bancroft Davis are instructed to pay no atten? tion to British suggestions or propositions for a compromise beyond what the supplemental article approved by the Senate authorizes. The nominations of Henry Cochrane ior postmaster at selma. Alabama, C. C. Gillespie for Calvert, Texas, and Joseph Nimmo tor supervising inspector of steamboats, were not confirmed. Tne Senate took action on these nominations.

WASHINGTON POLITICAL NOTES. vice-President Co"?x andi Ills friend?. WASHINGTON, June 9. . A number o? the Indiana delegation to the Philadelphia Convention called ou vice-Presi? dent Collax yesterday, expressed their regret at blB deleal bet?re the convention, approved his course in heartily endorsing the ticket as nominated, and commended lits services as a publio man. In reply. Mr. Colfax said he re? joiced that after eighteen years of public Hie, with all his acts like the open page* of a book bet?re the people, the worse that was siid of him at Philadelphia wus that he had written a letter staling his willingness and desire tu re? tire from official position, and had alterwards consented to accept a renomination, ll the party deemed lt best. This charge he could not deny, but he had never written or said any th um bro ?der than ls lound In ibe expres? sions of that much quoted letter. So much has been Bald about it tbat, now the conven? tion ls over, he le>t he had a right to tell his home friends what his lips had been sealed on here i oi ore, namely, that lt was not written nor Intended lor publication. He had expect? ed to sxbmlt the desire he felt, and which WOB expressed In ir, lo leading Republicans from his own State and elsewhere, when Congress reassembled, for their advice, but be sala that he must add. In justice io the valued friend to whom he wrote, that ihe letter was not mark? ed contidenilal, and being from a public man, on a public question, lhat irlend had tho un? questionable right to infer that it was not pri? vate, and therefore be justified him tully in printing it Wben he decided last November, at the appeal or many active Republicans ?rom Indiana, and other sections ot the TJuion, that his renomlnaiion or his retliacy was a question ' that the party should decide rather than him6 8<>ll, he lelt that lt would be Improper lo elec- | iloneer with any one on the subject, and he did not; on the contrary, ne told every dele? gate that he saw that his name ought not to , be presented if another could insure greater unity and certainty of victory io ihe cause. 1 He loved, far netter than political honor, the B-piibllcan organization, the records ol whose great deeds for liberty, humanity, justice and ! nationality, during the past decade are unup proached by sny political party In any country or any age. It has olber advancing steps of progress and relorm to lake before disband? ment or furlough irom duty. While golug himself, therefore, IO tne r?tlr?a Hot, wimont the slightest unkind feeling towards any one who desired a change in ihn Vice-Presidency, wishing them especially a deceive victory in October in our closely contested Stale, he closed by saying that he should join with them In November In cordially .supporting Ulysses S. Grant and Henry Wilson for President and Vice-Pr?sident o? the Untied States. Meeting of Liberal Congressmen. The Liberal Republicans of the Senate and House assembled at tbe Greeley aud Brown headquarters on Saturday evening. Alter some consultation upon matters o? ihe political campaign, Hon. R. E.

Delrees will continue bis connection with the campaign committee aa heretofore announced. INDIANA POLITICS. INDIANAPOLIS, June 10. The convention here promises to be the largest held for many years.

A Sanguine View or the Prospect, Mr. E. J. Donnell, one of the liveliest and most active operators of the New York Cotton Exchange, in his circular for the week ending June 3, says : The ?ni I mat I on In my last that the market would probably advance to 30 cents was re? garded as extreme at the time; but it Is now considered quite moderate. Thirty-five cents ls not now considered as extreme aa 30 a week ago. There has been, so far, a remarkable simi? larity between this season and that of 1868-'69. On the first of June, 1869, the stocks In the ports were 145,000 bales, which showed lu one month a reduction ot 130,000 bales. This caused an immediate and rapid advance to 34A- cenls In the last week In June, and af? terwards to 35 ceuts in the last part of August. After the 31st May spinners too* from the ports 135,000 bales. In ihe month of Septem? ber lhere was a decline of 7? cents, and In Oc? her li cents. The weekly consumption that summer, of the Northern mills, .was about 14,000 per week. At least lt did not exceed that quantity. Tb? consumption now ls 20.000 per week. The taking ot our spinners, previous to first of June, were larger that season in proportion to consumption than they have been this season. The goid premium was (hen higher by more than 20 per cent., bur. this ls ot very little importance so lons as wo have no colton to export, a"d especially while cotton fabrics are quite as high as when gold was 40 premium, aud middling cotton 35 cents per pound. In view of these facts, it is not strange that some people lalk of the probability of 35 cents for middling colton during the summer. In? stead of this being unreasonable, lhere is nothing at all unreasonable or even improba? ble In It, but, on the contrary, very great pro tm ol 11 iv. I leel lesi disposed to discuss the chances ol lite Liverpool market, because we are very llltle dependent on lt, BO lar as the last crop is concerned. The South continues to offer the growing crop ireely. This ls the best evidence of Ita promising condition, but, at the same limbri cannot regard lt as other than proot conclusive I hat our Southern friends do not appreciate the times. They do uot s^em io know, or even suspect, iliat we are In the midst ot (he greatest speculative expansion since 1865. Tne southern planter believes that wheu ne can get 20 cents for cotton that only coals 10 cents to produce lt, he Is doing a fine business, and so he would under ordinary circumstances and In normal limes. Iron miners get $50 for pin iron I hat cost I hem only $27. The cotton planter gels thc return ot lils labor once a year; ihe Iron miner fifty times itt a year. The mechanics and laborer* of the cities, factories and mines combine together to Increase their wages and reduce the non rs ot labor. The great capital Isis em;aired In manufacturing and mining combine together lo Influence, direct, and, ll expedient, ouy the l?gislation ot' Congress, BO n to Increase the price of what they sell, and reduce the price of what they buy. Toe re? sult of these several combinations is, that the ?grlcultiiralteis. who constitute three-fourths ot our population, who have not learned the 1 science of combination or co-operation, pay artificially high prices for every thing they buy. and obtain ihe minimum price lor what they sell, and, in addition to this, pay nine tenths ot all the taxes. Cotton manufacturers have been making $50 per bale on every bale of cotton they have used during the past win? ter; yet the agriculturalist, who produces it c only once in a year, ls delighted if he can do i Lhe same. t The great man ol the future will be he who i will success! olly Instruct the agriculturalists of the United Stales as to their true interests, and rouse them from their present lethargy. I would suggest to the cotton planters, lu the meantime, not to be In a hurry offering their growing crop. We will, of necessity, begin i the next season, on Itt September next, al r very hitch prices. Certainly la the neighbor- ( hood ol 30 cents, and more likely to be above i than below that figure. Does anybody believe t that with cotton at 30 or 25 cents, October de- f llvorLu n-Ul bri?* ?=.1, al o.>nln Tut na nil remember that lt ls not by any means ao much owing lo the small crop, as to the entire change In the times that cotton ls now advene- ? lng, and likely lo advance still further. We are now lu an era ol' expansion and have been for nearly eighteen moat hs-the tide is still rising. This ls no lime to make calculations of value based upon the cost of production. We are not now walking on the ground; we ' are aylng In the air. Woy ls lt that our agrl- ? culiurailsts do not avail themselves of the lull benefit of such limes? Our speculators co- , op?rale and lorm Cliques, uniting their brains and their money to their mutual advantage; . our politicians form rings to regulate the mar- , ket price ol'patriotism. Wiry ls it that our agriculturalists do not co-operate with each . other also with a view to the general good ? J The Other Side of the.Question-Sellins; j Cotton '. Kai uren." [From th? Aberdeen Examiner.] i The plan of Belling colton for delivery al a , future period at a stipulated price bas re- , celved but lillie attention troon the planters, | bit. has as a general thing been confined to speculators and middlemen, who in order to ? realize heavily upon such contracts, have, yeur aller year, combined against Hie pro? ducers, fighting the staple down lo such prices as entailed loss upon those obliged to sell, until they obtained control of enough to satisfy their obligations and leave them a handsome margin for profit. Now this cus? tom ol making sales lor luture "delivery" prevails in every line of trade-the dealers in grain, pork, sugar*, tobacco, wool, Ac. all buy and sell intures, but no other a; ricnlturallst rests his claim to r?mun?rai lon lor a year's ar? duous toll, so confidingly In the hands of the '.middlemen," as the colton larmer. While he is tolling to make a crop, and looking forward hopefully to obtain, say Alleen cents a pound for bis colton, yet without the ability to withhold lt from sale though the market price may be nine cents when lt ls sinned und packed, the middlemen go forward and Bell ihe anticipated product ol his labor for fifteen cents, as ..intures.'' to spinners and specula? tors, ;.nd then unite In a ring to compel the producer to sacrifice his crop at such figures as will assure ihem handsome cains. If our farmers are determined upon devoting their energies to the production ol' colton, then they should at once adopt the plan of selling for lui ure delivery-as Boon BB a lair stand ls obtained the planter should endeavor to contract for the delivery ol his entire crop by a certain time, as will give him a fair profit; when this ls done he can return to his field and labor wilh the con? sciousness that be has only lo contend willi the enemies that nature places in his path, but Is sale against the wiles of the sp?culai ors and colton snarks. Now and (hen lt may hap? pen that colton will advance far beyond the price at whicn he has contracted to deliver his crop, but in lhat event he will have the satisfaction of knowing thal he had sold at fair figures aud a good profit, while If the cot? ton market opens badly, he will know that he is safe and will make money, while lils less provident neighbors are forced to sell al a sac? rifice. We are well aware that the gambling instincts of our people will prompt them to reject I his policy io many instances, and to lake the chances ot being forced to sell at eight cents rather than forego the possibility ol gening twenty-five, yet the planter who will persistently sell luiures at fifteen cents for his whole crop will be likely lo make afor? tune, while bis gambling neighbor will, ere many years, surrender his farm lo his credi? tors. Sell your cotton to good and solvent men If you can, as futures, and thus farm upon u safe and Independent baste. But few ot you ever farm without a lien ol some kind or oilier upon the growing crop, and If lt is encumber? ed by any kind ol a lien, will lt not be belter lo have such a one as guarantees you a fair price for it, than the ordinary deed which will permit the creditor to sacrifice it under the auctioneer's hammer ?
