? zy' mt VCLUME IX.-NUMBER 1967 CHARLESTON WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE GREAT CONTENTION. GATHERING OF THE CLANS IN BAL? TIMORE. The Thronged City-A Point of Differ? ence-The Prospect ot ? Short and De? ci?ive Session. [ 8PBCIAL TELVORAM TO TES NEWS.] BALTIMORE, Sunday, July 7. At least three-fourths o? the delegates to the National Democratic Convention have already arrived, and a multitude ot members of vari? ous political organizations, with ihe usual crowd of camp-followers, throng every hotel an I boarding-house in the city. The South Carolina delegates have not all registered their names, but they are In good quarters. Nothing unpleasant mars the prospect except the prevalence of small-pox, which causes strangers to fortify themselves internally at all hours of the day," The utmost harmony prevails. It Is con? ceded that lhere ls no possibility of nominat? ing a third candidate. The fight will be be? tween the advocates ot a renomination of Greeley and Brown, and the advocates of "no nomination.'' The chances are abeut even, ont the Western men, especially the Missouri -^legates, are working hard to prevent the nomination of the Liberal Republican candi? dates, using the argument that such a nomina? tion will burt Greeley with the Republicans without helping him with the Democrats, who will vote for him Just as generally upon a simple recommendation to that effect, or even without a recommendation. The prospect ls, that the work of the* convention will be com? pleted ID short measure, unless there ls troubl? about the platform. 0. AN EXCITING BOAT RACE. The Battery Thronged-The Scene at the Start-The Shifting Fortune? or the Contest-A Spirited Straggle" and an Unexpected Rcaalt-Congratula? tions to the Winners, ?ic. The high appreciation In which aquatic '? sports are held by our com muni ty was shown by the large crowd attracted to the Cattery on Saturday evening last to witness the boat race. AB the hour appointed* for the contest drew near, each and every car came down literally jammed with human freight. King, Meeting and East Bay streets each poured out contln 0U8 living streams, until the w.iole water front, from high up on Bast Battery to the ex? treme west end of South Battery, and the bath? ing houae-plaiza.bridgo and shed,were densely packed with eager, spectators ot every age, sex and class. On the harbor several yachts and a large number of smaller boats kept scudding to and fro, and afforded to many a nearer view of the race. The weather, with the exception of rather .foo fresh a breeze which gave rise to a con? siderable swell, was on the whole favorable' enough; decidedly favorable for the speata tora, who were fanned, by the delightful ?en* breeze, and shielded Irom the son by the passing clouds. At precisely half-past six o'clock, the Little Belle and the Carrie ap? peared off the battery and pulled leisurely down to the White Point buoy, the starling point. The Petrel did not make her appear? ance for some minutes later. The Little Belle IB ? green boat, twenty-two feet long, with a yellow gunwale; the Carrie, white, twenty feet, with a black gunwale, and 'the Petrel twenty-feet long, white, with a brown gunwale; The crews were simply clad In their every-day apparel, with the exception of thelr^ coats. The Petrel bore a small red flag inner stern, and the Carrie a red and white flag of about the same size. The Little Belle carried no colors of any kind. At a quarter to seven o'clock the stake-boat containing Mr. E. H. Sparkman, the deciding Judge, and several ladles, pulled into the stream and anchored directly opposite the bathing house; lt was distinguished irom the other boats by a small staff bearing a red and white flag. At five minutes to seven the three contesting boats were at the bnoy, and gradu? ally fell Into line, the Little Belle on the city side, the Carrie next to James Island, and the Petrel in the middle. At seven o'clock the signal was given, and the start made. The -ta; nc immediately took the lead, forging clear ahead halt a length or more, and for a long time lt seemed as ll she would win an eas; victory. Meanwhile, the Petrel and Little Belle were ploughing through the water side by side, as If each wa* afraid to leave the other. The Petrel, being manned by the crew who won at the last regatta, was evidently the favorite; and there were, consequently, few present who did not feel pretty confident that she would shoot ahead as the stake boat was neared, and win the race. But the issue was not long In doubt. Tbe crew of the Little Belle at the last seemed resolved to make a desperate effort. Bending themselves to the work like men "determined to do or die," their boat suddenly left the Petrel one or more lengths behind and sped past the stake-bMt, full half a length ahead of the Carrie, amid vociferous cheers and* the waving of bats aud handkerchiefs, even from the defeated crews. The three boats then' pulled alongside the stake boat, where the winning crew received the congrat? ulations of all; and as a fitting tribute to their skill and muscle were presented with the flags of the vanq Mshed. The following 1B the crew of the Little Belle : M. Dougherty, cox-* ewaiD; E. Dougherty, stroke; W. Hughes, H. Trapler and J. C. H. Wilson, bow. One by one the row-boats ant* yachts flitted-away, down the harbor or back to the docks, and In half an hour nearly the whole tiny fleet had disappeared. The crowd then slowly dis? persed, evidently much pleased with the ex? citing contest they had witnessed. A NEGRO RIOT IN LAURENS. [From tbe Laurens Herald.] A disgraceful street fight occurred In this place on lact Saturday between a number, of negroes, In which clubs, brickbats, stones and a pistol were freely used. No serious damage, however, was done. It turned out ihat the pistol was le ad let- s, and hence nobody was hurt from lt, though the fight resulted in several bruised and bloody heads. Liquor was at the bottom of the matter, and ihe liquor was lur nlshed, we learn, by a white candidate, or, i erbaps. candidates, for legislative honors. One negro went into the fray with mea earn? estness that he fought almost Into a state of absolute nudity, getting rid of all his garments save undershirt and drawer-?,*and the last named article was ventilated by a huge rent in a most unfortunate place. Such conduct in broad daylight upon the public Fquare and the principal streets of the village la disgracelul alike to the perpetrators and the person or persons who bought and furnished toe liquor. Aller the fight was all over, and ooe ot the combatants had fled for safety, chased by a half dozen or more with clubs, stones and a pistol, one of the party was arrested and lodged In Jail, but let out again In an hour or two, to await the day of his trial, soon to take place. A PUGNACIOUS GEORGIAN. How Joe Brown Met the Slurs of Toomba Against the Greeleyltes. ?he following has appeared as an advertise? ment in the Atlanta Constitution : ATLANTA, GA., July 2, 1872. Editors Constitution-Hy attention has been called to a letter published io the Griffin Dally News, signed R. Toombs, in reference to the paersage of the resolution of the Legislature of 1870, compromising the Iii ?gallon between the heirs of Samuel Mitchell and the State of Georgia, In wblch General Toombs uses the lollowinir language : "Tho L"gldature accepted the offer of thlrly flva thousand dollars from Lochraue, Kimball and Brown, who engineered the bill through the Legislature in the name ot the Mitchell heirs. The term 'orphans of Mitchel!' was ap? plied to them la derision of the. pretences under which the people were stripped ot this property, tor the use of these 'orphans.' Tots action of Ahe Legislature was the result of bribery, pnre and simple. * *N * IdldBtaie turther, as far as my knowledge extended, all of the public plunderers who pretended lo be Democrats, from Tammany Hall down to the smallent petty larceny thief on the State road, were Greeley men, and so ls the fact." Now, If General Toombs Intends by this lan? guage to say that I have been guilty of bribery in "engineering" thia Gill through the Legis? lature, I pronounce bis statement an infamous falsehood, and Its author an unscrupulous liar. Very respecttully, JOSEPH E. BROWN. THE CASE OF CAPTAIN TREZEVANT. (From the Columbia Carolinian ] The Chester Reporter ofjthe 4th Instant con? tains a full report ol the case ot the United States va. w. H. Trezevant. The examination took place before Albert M. Boozer, United States commissioner, who had been directed by Jddge Bryan to take the testimony at Ches? ter. Judge Boozer established himself at the headquarters of Major W. H. Brown, the com mantling officer of the United. States torces at CUester. !* The - counsel for Mr. Trezevant, Mesara. Pickling and Hamilton, acting on the principle that laws were silent amid arms, ob? jected to the locality selected by Judge Boo? zer, and proposed the courthouse tor the civil examination ordered. But the objection was overruled, aud the Judge decided to fix bis office at the military headquarters, and there the examination took place. The testimony aa .given utterly failed to connect Captain Trezevant with the charges upon which he was arrested. This case has been Invested with the more significance because lt has been accepted as.an arraignment of tho citizens ol Chester aa well as ol Captain Trezevant. SAPLESS HOWARD.

Orr and Corbin on the stump-A Scath? ing Denunciation of Scott, Parker de Co.-Their Issues of State Bonds and Systematic Bribery- Pour Hundred Thousand Dollars of Pay Ce r f liles ten Excuses tor Cardozo-The Radicals Di? vided Against Themselves. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] GREENVILLE, 8. C., July 5. Yesterday the Grant Republican ratification meeting was held in a beautiful grove near this city. Tbere were very lew white person? who attended, and about fifteen hundred col? ored. It was not very enthusiastic, and the colored people generally were strolling about. A hundred or more, near the stand, seemed to listen and hear. There was some two or three hundred dollars contributed, principally by the whites, to get up a dinner, and lhere was one; but some of the colored people told me there was so much grabbing and scuffling lhat they could not get anything. To most of the col? ored people the dinner, not Grant, was the event of the day. Orr spoke first, and-well, he ls always sen? sible. His speech was very mnch such as he delivered in Columbia, advocating Grant's re? election, and attacking the Ring in Columbia in no measured terms. But it Is Corbin's speech I wish to report. Now, mark: It ls Corbin, the State senator; lt ls Corbin, the United . States district at? torney; it ls Corbin, the city attorney; lt ls Corbin; the codifier of our laws; it ts Corbin, the Ajax Telam?n of the Republican party In this Slate, whose speech I am reporting. It will surprise and astonish you and your read? ers. . After advocating Grant's re-eleoilon, Atc, he attacked the Ring in Columbia. I had heard Carpenter and Butler in their lndlo* taents of Scott & Co., at the last election. I thought they had exhausted the vocabulary of abuse against that Rlog; but oh ! If you had heard Corbin you would say theirs was musketry, and Corbin's artillery Columbi? ans. He named Scott, Parker Cham? berlain, Neagle, F. J. Moises, Jr. He pro? nounced them all scoundrels, thieves, vil? lains, the very worst and meanest of men. In? sisted that they must be driven out of the parly; that they had deceived and betrayed the party; that they were as bad as the, Ku Kiux, compared them with them, (and you know what Corbin Is on the Ku-Kinx.) He asserted that, without authority gr law, they, had Issued (7,000,000 of State bonds;, lhat they had to his certain knowledge brloedrtbe last Legislature, and bought them up to vote, the ; Blue Ridge Railroad scrip, $1,800,000, with $176,000. That Moses had exceeded every? thing :he had ever conceived In vi dany and rasca'ity. That he had issued as the skeaker ol' the House $400,000 of pay bills to people all over the State as bribes to support him and enhance his popularity. Many of them had never been to Columbia at all, and some were paid as clerks who could not read- or write. That the Ring must be expelled from office at all hazardP; that the Republican party must perish If they did not. He excused Card?zo. He said that the financial board-Scott, Parker and Chamberlain-now wished .to Issue more conversion bonds; that they wished Cardozo to sign them; that the law re.qulreu Cardozo to do so; that he, Corbin, advised Cardozo not to do so, but die rather-to thro w himself on the people, and they would support him, and that Cardozo determined to rot in 'jail before he would sign any more. This ls but a tithe of what he said. So you see the Republican party In this Slate ls divi? ded-Scott and Moses head one .portion, Orr and Corbin the other. Many think Moses ls SQ astute, cunning and deceitful, and so plausible and eloquent, that with constituents so Igno? rant and vicious and indifferent to the merita of the question, ii will be bard to baffle him. Some of us thought we saw the l,Reform Par ty" redtviwA la Orr and Corbin. It would be easy to defeat the ring with other constituents but wUa those they have. What shall we say? The darkness is Egyptian-the stolidity ls the .ban. We Bhall see. SOMKRS. A PILL FOR THE COLUMBIA RING? A Grant Organ Threaten* a Bolt "Regularity" no Longer an Apology for Rascality. ? {From the Sontheim Celt, July 6. ] Many of our political thinkers In this .State are busily and anxiously engaged at the pres? ent time, suggesting plans and establishing organizations to secure the election of certain favorites whom they Intend to put forward as honest and capable men for State and county offices In the coming campaign. 'From the drift of their thoughts and movements the opinion ls fast gaining ground with the peo? ple that, like Arkansas, Louisiana and other Southern States, we are to have two Republi? can factions or parties lo the field. In due course or time a convention will be held at Columbia to nominate candidates tor State officers, at which lt is supposed the Re? publican party of Souih Carolina will be well and truly represented. Now, ihe question ls asked by many, why not send men to tnls con? vention who will give us a good ticket that 'every honest voter can support, and therefore cut off at once the necessity of placing another Republican ticket In the field ? The answer to Ibis question ls the old story : 'There will be fraud In the convention, and delegates sent from the people will b* exotuded by certain riog-maste s In Columbia." We ha'e conversed with many good men on the subject, who firmly believe that the State Convention will be managed by Bcott, Moses and Neagle, who, lt la asserted, will see mat none but meir own satellites are admitted as delegates. If this view of the situation ls correct, and Scott & Co. should ait-mpt to stifle the voice of the people, and refuse ad* mission to legally elected delegations, as was the case with the Charleston delegation two years ago,'the people could not, and we be? lieve would not, support nominations made in such an unfair and very irregular manner. A ticket thus put forth would be a great Imposi? tion on the people's rights, and would invoke the earnest opposition and condemnation of every honest man in the State. If the will of the people should be defeated in the selection of candidates, and dangerous demagogues be' nominated through the agency ot corrupt tac? tics, every sensible voter in the State would then unite, repudiate the aotlon of the con? vention, and send its nominees to political perdition. 4 1 We, therefore, earnestly advise the gentle? men who control the regular Republican party machinery in this State co be very .care? ful and place no obstacles in the way of an honest and free expression of the people's will, or they may have a genuine Republican ticket to tight which will render tlieir expected victory a nore defeat. Party maohinery and party tactics may be successful in making nominations, but it ls for the people who do the voting to say whether nominees shall be elected or not. We have faith in the honesty and good sense of the people, and know they can no longer be misled. In every county in the State there are large numbers of voters who are determined to support rascality no longer, even if it have the endorsement of Regularity." Il would be well for those who expect to manipulate the convention to consider wheth? er lt would be poiltlc to drive these into re? volt, and thus deprive themselves ol all chances j of success. DEATH ON IE BAIL. A Fearful Accident o the Georgia Cen? tral Railroad-A Tnn Hurled Down an Embankment-Ive Persona Bur? led In the -Kains. A terrible accident, web occurred on the Georgia Central Riilroc on Friday, Is de? scribed in the Augusta Con lele or yesterday. By lt nearly an entire tin of cars were pre? cipitated from a broken bdge into a stream ol waler. Five men werecarrled down amid the falling timbers and rushed by the mina of cars and bridge. Onef them died within a few minutes, another as mangled so that he cannot live-perhapsi already dead-and three others severely Injred. The following appears to be the parlicurs of the Bad affair: On last Friday even 1 nj a gravel train was at work beyond Spirit Crek, hauling sand for repairing the line of thi road. About three o'clock In the afternoon, ae train approached the high BRIDGE OVER BRIT CREEK, a point distant about tvlve miles from the city. For some reasonthe engine was at? tached to the rear of te train-which was composed of twelve grail cars-and the cars were being pushed In ie direction of this city. On the other side ( the creek IR an em? bankment, which ls boiliup to the stream to the point where the bride commenced. Just before the train reachec this bridge, one of the men saw a COW NEAR TB TRACK, the animal In some wajhavlng gotten upon the embankment. The ow was struck by the front car and run over jot as tbe car reached i be bridge. The collisla caused the train to run off the track. The sbek CAUSED THE BKIDE TO BREAK, and the car was preclpltted Into the stream. More ot the bridge tiraba gave way, and lour of ?he other cars were daeged over the edge of the precipice and fell ii to the tearlul chasm below. The o th er three cars and the engine and tender remained mon the track. The cars which fell were ll teni ly crushed to pieces, AND BURIED AMO.'O TBK RUIN'S; were five linean beings. As roon at possi? ble the handi on the tnin who were unin? jured went to the asslslatce ot their o afort?? nale comrades. All of themen who were In? jured were colored employees of the railroad company. One ot them, Allen Clayton, was at last found lo the wreck, covered with heavy fragments cv the cars. Two Iron trucks rested upon bis boly, aDd he was CRUSHED TO DEATH. - "? Another, vhose name ls unknown, was dis? covered fearfully mangled, with life almost extinct. Tiree other colored men were taken from the nins, all badly crushed, but none of whom wer? mortally Injured. All that could be done for the wounded men was done. The last mern hued were taken to allen'Station and recetad medical assistance. The roan mortally hart was carried off that night for Savannah, his borne, though it was not be? lieved be would live to reach that city. The dead mao. Allen Clayton, was brought to the city yesterday morning, and the coroner HELD AN INQUEST nppn the body. After hearing the evidence which was substantially as above-the Jury rendered a verdict In accordance, with the facts of the case, viz : Thal the deceased came to his death Irom injuries received by an acci? dent on the Augusta and Savannah Railroad. THE DAMAGE TO TH H ROAD consists of the Ave smashed cars, a broken bridge, and, what ls more serious, the lime which must necessarily elapse before the ?renk in the road can be repaired. The pas? senger travel, nowever, sustained but little interruption, as the trains meet at the break, and passengers and baggage are transferred doing everything in his power to have the bridge speedily rebuilt, but lt is thought that several days must elapse belore this cari be done. THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS. Teat of a Turretted Ship. LONDON, July 6. The iron turret ship Glatton was tested at Portland to-day.

Tbe death roll for the week ending at noon to-day reached 1600-the largest in the history of the city. U PHILADELPHIA, July C.

Universal metropolitan Swelter*-The Great Race at Long Branch-Ken? tucky's Victory-That Old "Rebel Tell" again-The Trials of a Perse? cuted Young Alan. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW TOBE, July 3.. The terrible heat ls the uppermost topic Indeed, lt ls difficult to get up Interest lo any tblng else. People pass the melting moments recounting to each other their Bufferings dur? ing the long scorching days, aod the seem i ugly longer sleepless tights. The customary salutation is, "Well, ls this hot enough for you?" a feeble Joke on the supposed anxiety of humanity to keep warm. Another favorite criticism ls, ''Why, where ls that nice fur over? coat you used to wear, ain't yon cold?' And these persons who affect literature will tell you that threadbare Joke of Sydney Smith's, about wanting to take off his flesh and sit In bis bones In a good draught. It ls natural for anybody when he ls very bot to declare that that particular lime is therhol? test he ever knew. But I think the ihermom etrlcal record shows that thc heat this season is unprecedented. The range has been high? er than any registered for the same length of time in this lad torie. In cool places 101 has been touched, and hardly any thermometer at three o'clock on Monday showed less than 98. Since the healed term set in there has been over three hundred casea of sunstroke In this city; of which more tuan balf have been fatal. Southerners who are here are unanimously of ihe opinion that such Intense beal does not visit the South. The warm weather may be more steady, but lt does not behave so extrav? agantly. The scenes about town are-peculiar. Crowds surround the soda fountains clamoring lor the sweet drluks which make them only the more thirsty. Venders~of fans are plentiful and prosperous. Boys with lin cans mount the hone car steps and sell cold water at five cents a glass. Wherever an Ice man is swing? ing off from his cart ihe great glistening lumps of ice, lhere are congregated multiludes of children gathering tne splinters lor Imme? diate cooBumpUon. Fat men, in linen coats and hatless, streaming with sweat and red In the face, pass you plying the fan. The poor horses loll at the moutn and not ^infrequently abandon the attempt to keep up appearances and lie down on the hot pavements. At the windows ot dwellings Blt gasping females, in mysterious garments of white, striving to'woo the breezes. The steamboats and railway cars cannot accommodate the crowds trying to fly from the city. Pity us, O ye who live where business is dull. The worker ra this ero wried city must brave the heat and challenge the Biinstroke and ruin himself with the costly, because constantly consumed soda water, that his dally task may he accomplished. Lucky the man who can afford to "lay up." Next to the torridity, we talk of the great race at Long Branch between Bassett and LOoglellow. Twenty-five thousand New York? ers and Philadelphias went down' to the Branch yesterday and planked their stamps on Bassett. The bets were six to four in favor of Bassett. Pools sold $2000 to $1200 in his favor. Tnere were a couple of tnousand Southerners on the track, mostly Kentuckians, and tuey eagerly took all the bets tney could get at odds against Longfellow. During the race, the ex? citement was intense The Kentuckians were more like maniacs than reasonable sporting men. Wuen Longfellow went ahead of the Normern lavorlte. there arose from a thousand throats U.at old, lamilla'?'.rebel yed" which ihe battling armies lifled to hear ?luring the war. A vete ? -ran Normera ao.utcrT wno was -ac ihe race, told me that the sound, which he-had not lis? tened lo for seven years, actually startled bim, and he almost fancied tb-i he ought to hear the "cracK," "crack," "crack" of thc rules following ll, and see the gray Jackeu leaping the race-course fence. Jehu Morrissey, who bad twenty-live thousand dollars staked on Bassett, exclaimed, "This ls a big rebel victory." The Southerners owned all inc money in Long Branch last niichr. -The New ' Yorkers who came back to town by me rail? roads and steamooats bad scarcely enough ol fuuds left to buy ice water-Julepe und such were absolutely out of the question. Old John Harper, who OWUB tne great Ken? tucky horse, was superlatively happy. Il must have been ihe heat that overcame bim, tor wben Longfellow came thundering past the cord a tull hundred yarda ahead of his ri? val, me old man sank In a chair exhausted. Friends raised the breeze around bim with ihelr fans, and he revived, to receive, with tears In his eyes, the uock-comlni? congratu? lations. It was a ?real day for Old Kentucky. Our Gener? Breckinridge was one of the judgoo. One of the New York reporters ?ives a characteristic description of a Ken? tucky sporting gentleman who was present.

They probaoly succeeded In making an impression on the Jury, (which does not read newspapers,] and will naturally expect an Intelligent ver? dict ot acquittal. Stokes had his whwle family around him in court yesterday. His mother, a Une looking matron ot the New Eugland type, and his sister, a pretty young lady, both modestly dressed, sat by his side. Stokes and his counsel are very free in expressing theil opinion that the trial will result In his acquit? tal. When the defence begins lo bring out Its evidence, no doubt, public opinion will veer around In favor of "this uulortunate young man." It always does. The Jury will bring lu a verdict ot "not guilty;" the crowd will boot: Stokes will throw himself into McKeon's arms, and Hie audience will be dissolved in teats. The meritorious creature wld stride Into the air s free man, and another example will be afforded for the encouragement of cold? blooded murder In the metropolis. NTH. THE NEW YORK VEGETABLE MARKET.
