VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 2091. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER ?7. 18 2. EIGHT DOLLARS A. YEAR. 1 THE BEST BOWEN CAN ] I A "TRUE REPUBLICAN" TICKET, W j A VENGEANCE. i Results of tue Two Days' Fi gh t-S to; Scenes In Hibernian Hall-The C I dldatea for the Suffrages of Chm fontana and their Fast Distingu?a Services. The Bowen-TomUnson County Nomina Convention reassembled yesterday mon at Hibernian Hall, and repeated, with slight variations, the principal aceces of varlet; show or the previous day. The t ble began at about eleven, and the chair announced that the first business In order the balloting lor a candidate for coro which business, he declared, had been pi lng at the time of adjournment. Aa the called adjournment on the previous evet bad been simply a stampede, accompanlet a riot of no small magnitude, lt must have quired profound power of memory or genolty on the part of the chairman to what waa or waa not pending; but there no one to contradict his assertion, and lt accepted. The members, however, w not to be deprived ol the opportunity to hale their eloquence, and a dozen delea a struggling to .their feet, strove to get floor on "questions of privilege." The nae supposed to be before the convention nomination were those of J. H. Ostendo Aaron Logan, William T. Oliver and B. Hoyt, and their lrienda, getting the fl? through the indulgence of the chairman, i der the above parliamentary pretext, beg vociferously scouting their respective pref enees, and championing their candidates w great energy and odoriferous warmth. Abi a dozen were thus shooting at once, talki against each other and against time. An < cited speech waft made by W. H. Thompson favor of Aaron Logan, basing his pr?f?re n on the question of color, and this speech ai argument appeared to carry the day. Alt about an hour of tremendous confusion, wbl the sergeanta-at-arms were making frau efforts to repress, Hr. Hurley and Mr. Bow got npon the floor as paolflcators, and si ceeded in restoring rome faint semblance order, and the convention proceeded to a b lot? The result o? this as announced by t tellers showed that, with all the ignoran which ls heralded aa a cloak for the shot comings of the freedmen, they are adepts ballot-stuffing, 1er the number of ballots in t hat showed a large excess of the number delegates in the convention. The votes f Aaron Logan, however, largely outnumber, all the others, and Oliver and Ostendorff wit drew their names. Mr. Bowen then mon .that Aaron Logan be nominated by ace ?am -'? Hon. The motion was carried unanimously, ai comparative peace was restored. .. The convention then proceeded to the nom nation ot a school commissioner, and this pn clpltated another bot milder row. Mr. Bowe nominated B. H. Hoyt, other delegates shou ed the names of Bev. J. B. Seabrook, WMlai E. Burke and N. T. Spencer, a few excite ard abusive speeches were Indulged in, a balle was ordered, and a recess ot ten minutes wa ordered to. .enable the members 'Ho prep ar their ballots." This recess was prolonged ti half an hour, and was profitable employed ii Innumerable little shindies and much mdustri ons lobbying. The convention reassemble at one o'clock, and the ballot was taken an resulted in sixty votes for B. H. Hoyt an twenty-two for William E. Burke, aud Boy was declared the nominee of the conventiol for Behool commissioner. The convention then proceeded to the nomi nation of a State senator tor four years, to sue coed Senator D. T. Corbin, and .this was ac compllshed without much difficulty. CP Miller nominated William B. Jervey. Mr. Bow en 8000410100"the nomination and moved tua lt be made by acclamation. There being nc opposing candidate, thia motion was carrlet unanimously; William. R. Jervey was d?clar?e the nominee of the convention for State sena tor, and a reoe ss was taken at two o'clock foi naif an hoar. - The convention, .reassembled at about three o'clof k, and prooeeded to the nomination ol candidates for the Assembly. It was evident that the main trouble of the whole convention was about to commence. There were eighteen candidates to be nominated, and at least eigh? ty aspirants to the positions. Every member of the convention who .had not al? ready received a higher nomination-"had a hopeful eye ont toward a seat la the House O? Representatives, and while the former conteste had been largely matters bf enthusiasm or policy the fight upon assemblymen was a personal, bitter, hand-to-hand fight, with every man for him? self and the demon of discord for all.' Mr. Bowen evidently expected that the storm was about to burst upon, the convention, and amid the din which was rapidly rising, his voice was heard exhorting and begging the delegates to behave themselves. During this speech, a crowd of clamorous patriots in the lobby were besieging the locked doors of the hall, and during one ot Mr. Bowen's most seductive flights of eloquence the doors gave way and the outside barbarians poured pell mell Into the hall. This caused a unanimous rush of the delegates to repel the invaders, and for two or three minutes there was a free fight, ending with the expulsion of most ol the intruders.. This was a fair sample bf the proceedings of the rest of the session, until late 9$. night, and lt would bu tiresome to record all the scenes of pandemonium that were enacted. The nomination of candidates for the country parishes was first proceded with, and was completed at about seven o'clock by the election of C. J. Andell, white, and Ed ward Petty, Bichar? Bryan, Isaac Prlo leau, Julius Tlngman, C. F. North, John Van? derpoel and A. P. Ford, colored. Next ensued a long and desperate struggle over the nomi? nations for the city. The candidates tor nom? ination were J. F. Greene, 0. R. Levy, Timo? thy Hurley and JameB Brennan, white, and H. G. Thomas, A. P. Mitchell, G. Burns, B. W. Tomer, W. A. Grant, B. A. Bosemon, James Coates, J. J. Grant and N. T. Spencer, colored, and the nominees, as finally selected, were J. F. Greene, 0. R. Levy and James Brennan, white, and B. W. Turner, W. A. Grant, B. A. Bosemon, J. J. Grant and N. T. Spencer, col? ored. It was by this time about 9 P. M., and the hall having only been rented for the dey, the Janitor notified the chairman that ll the hall were not vacated the gas would be turned - oil; bnt the threat had not the slightest effect upon the delegates, who immediately pro? ceeded to wrangle over the two remaining nominations for Assemblymen, which were to be made from the county at large. Among -tte aspirants the most prominent were Isaac Weston, Timothy Harley, J. H. Ostendorff; B. B. Arteon, Alexander Artepe, Thoa. A. Davis, Tho?. Osborne, W. N. Sparks and Jas. Coates. It was proposed to suspend the rules and ^ nominate R. B. Arteon and F. A. Davis by ac- J ; clamatloD. Tula was the signal for half j members oi the convention rising to tl feet. Several attempted to urge their ob tiona to the motion at the same moment, a number of opponents endeavored to dr< all objeotions by shouting out their proval in a louder key. The mo) was, however, put and carried am the wildest confusion. A number of d gatea, among them Mr. Timothy Hur afterwards succeeded in making themsel heard, and declared that the chairman I not acted fairly. Whereupon the chairo said that he had mistaken the nature o? resolution. He had been informed since adoption that lt should have been simply the nomination of B. B. Arisen by acolamatl The motion to nominate Artson by acclai lion was accordingly put and carried. G. Bowen then moved that the convention sel the vexed question by proceeding to bal for the remaining candidate, and that the c egates be allowed five minutes for the p paratlon of ballots. The motion was carr; and the balloting proceeded in tolerable ord The only nominees that made anything o ruo were Hurley, Davis and Coates. 1 whole number of votes cast was elgbty-algl of these Hurley received fifty-five, Davis tw< five, aod Coates nine. The number of TOI necessary to a choice being forty-four, 1 Hurley was declared the nominee. The ct ventlon then ratified the Bolters' nominatloi both State and county; pledged itself to tbi support; appointed a committee of seven prepare ballots for the election; returned vote of thanks to the chairman, and adjourn sine die at half-past ten o'clock, P. M. The Ticket as now completed ls composed as follows. For Sheriff-C. C. Bowen. For Clerk o? Court-A. C. Richmond. For Probate Judge-George Buist. For Coroner-Aaron Logan, colored.

Last winter he distin? guished himself especially in exposing and denouncing the attempt to destroy Judge Graham by charges ot favoritism in the Red? ding case. THE ASSEMBLYMEN will average about the same In point of com? plexion, character and Intelligence as the delegation from this county in the last House of Representatives. C. J.

Continued Demonstrations of the Coan? try's Confidence?Words of Wisdom frqm the Sage of Chappaqnn.. WAduisoroN, September 26. THO ovation to Mr. Greeley continues at every point of his Westward tour. The follow; log are extracts from bis recent speechesV ' Had I been a Southern man during, the war, educated aa Southerners were, 1 might hay? acted as they did; but belug a Northerner ? have been one ot the first to advocate peace when the danger had passed away, though not without securing the liberties of the blacks. There are white men still disfranchis? ed, and for them I now plead. We have been generous and just to the blacks; let us at Jeai.ii be just to the whiles. If f^e people only knew the whole truth about the carpet-bag govern? ments in the Southern States, there would be no doubt of the result ot this canvass. The South has greatly sinned, but she bas also greatly suffered and repented, and should be forgiven. The robbers of South Carolina would be o& a dead race out of that Stale two days after they heard that a new fovernment was elected against them. When went bail for Jeff.

I tell you, irle nos, the States of Ohio and Indiana will have to be bought if they are to be carried by the supporters of the President in the election at hand, and I don't think that either Ohio or Indiana can be bought."

The Rally or the Colored Alen for Grce, ley and Brown. LOUISVILLE, KT., September 26. The Colored Liberal National Convention assembled this morning. Twenty-two States wera represented. The following letter from Mr. Greeley was read with applause: NEW YORE, September 9.

The State Dinner at the Kaiaer'i ace-v Brilliant Concourse of Women and Brave Men-/in Ai Assemblage-Emperor Wilhelm 1) a Speech-Diamonds and Jew? The Scenes at the Opern, ??C, & [Correspondence of the London Times BERLIN, Septembi Yesterday the royal circle had hardly i ered from the exertion of the parade w State dloner came off in the Old Palace, parade was over at two o'clock; at foi "tam-tam" was sounded. The principa Bonages, amounting to no less than twe dred, sat down In the White Hall, three dred and fifty more of less august li lance belog accommodated In the adjo apartments. It was the dinner of the oca and grand In proportion. Outside and 1 the awful precincts the white silver Uv of Prussia vied with the pink of Mee burg; while the gorgeous grenadiers, sugar-loaf hats-relics of the days of Fred the Great-strove hard to outdo the 1 modern splendors of life guards, pages masters ot ceremonies. The company In the grandest ol grande tenue. The tlemen, as a matter of course, were arr in the costume of general officers, wearie the orders, stars, chains and ribands could muster. Owing to thu compile dalma of etiquette, there must Juwe nee little Ingenuity required to reconcile the dieting sartorial duties Ot the day. The peror William, equally to oblige both gm appeared lu Austrian uniform,, with the scarf of the Russian St. Aryirtw; the Cr Prince, reversing the compliment, woi Russian coat relieved by an Austrian dec tion. Only the younger princes of the r house-among them Prince Frederick WU and Henry, the younger son of 'the Cr Prince, who came out for the first time < gala occasion-had to content themselves \ Prussian uniforms, with a sprinkling of eign orders. Both the Imperial guests ? Prussian regimentals, with the great Star Chain of the Black Eagle. The ladles, bi fortunately permuted to follow their own dividual Inspirations In the matter of costu had adorned themselves with- the most i summate taste and skill. White and I satin, Interwoven with golden threi abounded in the noble hall. Diadems i tered on lofty brows, sud plumes held Jewels and set off by wreaths of ires h flow ?tressed Hie three natural kingdoms tog?! oto the service of beauty and rank.

"Animated," he Bald, "by feellc of the sincerest gratitude, I drluk to t health of my Imperial guests." Scarcely li the oheers, accompanied by the melodic shouts of the Austrian National Hymn sut ded, when the Emperor Francis Joseph turned thanks-:lFrom the bottom of- J heart, I beg to thank your Majesty for t words we have Just beard. May God prof? and preserve the Emperor William, the E press Augusta, and the whole Boyal House Prussia !" Alexander followed suit-"I drl: to the welfare of the gallant Prussian arm: Very polite, very courteous, aa you will pi ?elve, but very laconic. It the toasts h been settled in full connell they could not ha been more circumspect, - AT TBE OPERA. Dinner over-lt occupied only one hour ai a quarter-the royal conclave adjourned tho Opera. There was a grand ballet, tl whole of the audience present being ? tl guests of the King. Nearly the whole hon was filled with the mllllary and the wives the officers. That the customary welcome royally did not losy from the prevalence this loyal element I need not Bay. The Emperor of Austria alone stayed ; home. His Majesty, being in deep motin log, ls prevented attending theatricals, ac availed himself of his leisure to receive ti Corps Diplomatique. But there was more I store that evening?. After the calm and sel possessed diploma) lats bad left, men ol ai other and more clamorous sort olalmed th Emperor's attention. They would n< be denied a hearing. One tfaouBan two hundred strong, the bandsmen < the Prussian Guarda had stationed then selves under his windows, with trumpet an drum, horn and fife. A military moe ster serenade was beginning to rage In th square below. From the bridge to tue Cathe dral, the wide space was Ailed with the blow lng, piping, clanging host. With fifty addi tlonal candelabra, converting night into day and the glare of the distant torches reveallni a surging sea of human heads all around, th? spectacle was imposing in sight and sound There ls something In a very large orchestra which goes to the heart even ot those leas Inclined to yield themselves up to the elrei allurements of music. The "forte" of a thous and players has a power that commands atten tlon; the "plano," by tbe law of contrast, as sumes a softness and delicacy which cornel home to the most prosaic. The performance having begun with the Austrian Nations Hymn, subsequently passed over to thc "Alexander March," a piece of muelo dedi? cated by German gratitude, to the Czar ol 1818. The "Tannhauser March" followed, I stirring but utterly unpolitical composition, which, as lt was the central blt of tbe pro? gramme, may not, perhaps, be Improperly re? garded as expressing the real spirit of the whole. After this the "Radetzky March" and the "Boshe Czarya Chranl" of Holy Russia suc? ceeded each other with due regard to the rules ot international reciprocity. The finale was truly Prussian, as, indeed, had been the beginning. The bands, which in proceeding to the Schloss had played the cheery march with which the Prussians have entered Paris thrice within the present century, In conclu? sion Indulged In a terrific Zapfenstreich. The twenty bars of which tbisterriole perlormance consists have more significance than merely melody could impart. They may be called a periect musical interpretation ot the military spirit of Prussia. Monotonous and sharp, sober and withal inspiriting, they translate the special characteristics of the service of this country into articulate,- though, perhaps, not over-arllstlc sound. When the twice repeat? ed cc/wlth which the martial strain begins resounded in the vast area, tbe public, who had listened to the softer pieces of tbe serenade in comparative silence, at once broke out into cheers, and adopted an animated attitude more suited, I am afraid, to the thunders of war than to the gentle In? spirations of the Delphic god. Tne louder the drum beat, the shriller the fife rent the air, the more boisterous grew the crowd, until the steady beat ot the tambour was drowned by deafening hurrahs. Soddenly ail was silent again. By a well known change in the time the bands were passing over to the low diminishing roll which precedes the evening prayer wben the piece ls performed in camp. At this moment a flood of pale light streams over tbe scene. It was kindled by electric apparatus on tbe roof ol tbe Schloss1, and actually seemed to deepen the silliness around. People breathed more freeely when a jubilant crash ot brass and metal ciosed the exhibition. The Emperor did not show himself at the window. The Linden, the Wilhelm Strasse, and some official buildings were brilliantly illuminated, the rest cf the town retaining Its usual aspect! It is a curious, though very intelligible con? trast, that while the streets devoted to diplo? macy and hotel-keeping celebrated the con? ference, the less immediately Interested por Uon of tba Inhabitants were not sufficiently Impressed by the event to light their gas In Its honor. It is sad to have to record that the usual quota of accidents attending such a con? course was not wanting. At the corner of the Schlossfrehelt, especially, the crush was tear? ful. Whether there were any killed I am un? able to say, but lt would be next to a miracle it there were none. lam told that atone mo? ment the crowd at the northwestern corner o? the Schloss /ell down In a heap as If torn by an Internal convulsion. AT CHURCH. This morning i he Emperors of Russia and Austria attended divine service-the one In the chapel o? his Embaiisy, the other at the Catholic Church of St. Hedwig. His Austrian Majesty was received at the door of the sacred edifice by the clergy, wiio bowed low as they handed bim the holy water. A little later the Boyal family and guests visited the Zoological Gardens, In Bummer the principal fashionable resort. The drive through the park was lined with holiday-makers, and the gardens full of the elite. As the first carriage, containing the German and Austrian Sovereigns, ap? proached the gate of the gardens the horses reared and became so restive that the Empe? ror Francis Joseph seemed Inclined to Jump ont. The Emperor William remained quietly leaning back, till the chief of the metropolitan police seized the bridle and held the horses, heads. It was not, however, till the band in? side the gardens ceased playing the Austrian National 'Hymn that the excited animals would go through the gate. The second car? riage was occupied by the Emperor, of Russia and the Empress of Germany; the third by the two Crown Princes. While the Royalties were driving about In the gardens, stopping a moment here and there the public maintained* in attitude of respectful reserve occasionally interrupted by a subdue! cheer. The satisfac? tion of seeing tbelr old (ind beloved Sovereign so well surrounded was universal; but lhere ls too little to be diecern.ee .In the way ot tangi? ble results to cause the'people to be elated at the prophecies of perpetual peace, however profusely volunteered by the press. This afternoon the Royal party left for bis Majes? ty's Castle o? Babelsberg, near Potsdam, where they will dine. In the ?vening they wm drive through the beanlllul grounds and parks be? longing to various, members of the Royal family, and take tea at the New Palace, the summer residence of the Crown Prince and Princess. But thpre ls a difference be? tween tea and tea. 'While the "cup which cheers but not inebriates" is being banded round in the spacious saloons opening into the garden a fairy play will enchant the eye. A hundred thousand lair ps will shed a SOIL light among the trees. Many colored bal? loons and Chinese lanterns will dimly shine In the dark leafy avenues of the park, while blazing candelabra, In toe form of palm trees, aloes and pyramids, aro to enliven tbe open space in front of the palace. As a novelty ol the kind fifty-four real fir i reo J In the garden will be adorned and IR, like so many mouster Christmas trees, anticipating ihat Joyous sea? son, and converting summer <luto winter lor the edification of omnipotent royally. The tea, it would appear, ls strongly flavored with other Ingredients, anci promises to be the most taken of all that Is served up during the festive week. A late train will carry tbe guests back to Berlin, only to And themselves at another terminus at halt-past eight to-mor? row morning. At that early hour they mean to Bet off for the manouvres near Spandau. THE HEALTH HEFAXTMEtfT. ' The following directory of the Health De? partment has been prepared by Dr. George 8.

THE KEYSTONE STATE. G O VEEN OR CURTIN A CCEPTS THE LIB? ERAL NOMINATION. A Ringing Letter from the Great Wari Governor-A Cordial Indorsement ol | Mr. B uc ka ' t w-H ia El tct lon Nece Mar y for the Success of the Conitltatlonal Convention. , SARATOGA, September 21. My Dear Sir-Your favor of tbe 11th inst., informing me of my nomination by the Libe? ral Republican State committee as a candidate for delegate at large to the Conslitotiooal Con ? vention, andincladlngan address to the people ortho State recommending my election, came daly to band; bot extreme illness prevented my reading the letter or considering the sub? ject until now. I am still quite feeble, and unable to write without tbe aid o?an amanu? ensis; but the near approach of the election and the gravity of tbe issues immediately af? fecting the honor and prosperity of Pennsyl nla, lo be decided in October, compel me to answer, when my rest should be unbroken. The nomination made by so many of the, purest and best of the old representative Ber I publicans of tbe State, and presented to the people upon grounds which stand out in brave contrast with the demoralized political man? agement now so sadly prevalent, ls an appeal that I cannot refuse to respect. I therefore accept the nomination, and if lt shall be rati? fied by the people, and health permits, I will dlschs.rge the duties with fidelity. I had. confidently expected, immediately upon my return home, to familiarize myseil fully with the details of what I well under? stood la all general aspects, touching the mis? rule of our Commonwealth under Its present political control, and to speak my convictions at the earliest possloie moment. While I can? not ever be Indifferent in a Presidential con? test, I felt that the regeneration of my native State, lu the October election, was of para? mount Interest lo the people in whose happi? ness and greatness I am enlisted by every con? sideration of gratitude and oatrlotlsm; The bad rule tbat has wholly compassed the channels of political administrative authority in Pennsylvania ia not of recent creation. I; was the tireless but Impotent power that con? fronted the action of the government, State and National, during the dark days of civil war, and .steadily struggled to gather advancemeni and gain from the bitter sorrows of the people. Six years ago lt attained control in our State. How it was achieved ls remembered In humil? iation by all. - Why it was sought and won our subsequent history painfully demonstrates. The Republican organization, tbat has made its name illustrious In maintaining the unity of the Slates and redeeming a continent to freedom, was seized, in contempt of tbe will ot the people, and Its victories perverted to licensed wrong. I need not redie how, under an honored name and flag, lt has created wide? spread, Indeed almost Universal, distrust of authority, and made honest men despair of I integrity In legislation, in electiops, in con? ferrlog legislative honors, and even in the ad* ministration of public JuBtlce. ;<-?.: The terrible and steadily-growing, evils in our political rule have made the people de? mand the right to resume their sovereignty, to make new safeguards for themselves; but, If ibo proposed convention ls to effect thorough reform, lt must be aided, not hindered, by tne vast; power ot the Executive and other, im? portant Slate officials. If Hr. Buckalow shalj c?n^rr?aTjp?n*Be"d^*3Voflc control ttfaf ha? long misruled the Commonwealth, lt will be marvellous Indeed If a convention, chosen In tbe partisan strife of a national contest, can afford any substantial relief or protection to tbe people. If Pennsylvania ls to be restored to purity, the government, in all its depart? ments, as well as tbe convention, must har? monize fully and earnestly In the work ot re? generation. Hr. Bockalew's confessed In? tegrity and consistent devotion to reform dur? ing many years of official service give the best possible guarantees ot honest adminis? tration and of complete*restraints upon cor? rupt and reckless authority, and his election seems to be demanded by every considera? tion of Individual manhood, and of fidelity to the honor and advancement ot tbe State. If, os is claimed by the desperate leaders of Pennsylvania,to regenerate our Slate in Oc? tober will affect the national comest, the cause tbus to be endangered must be wantlug In mose essential attributes of popular con? fidence. Actuated solely by a sense of duty to a people whose devotion In times past tarnishes the most grateful memories ot my Hie, I shall vote in October for honest government In our Com mon weal tn, and meet the Presiden? tial issue when lt comes before the people In accordance wilh my long settled convic? tions. I cannot consent lo sacrifice a great contest for const lui tl on al, legislative and ad? ministrative reform, because a Presidential election is pending. To yield the question would give fresh victories for misrule, and make the effort for Just ttindamemal 're? straints either measurably or wholly abortive. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. 0. CURTIS. To the Hon. A. K. HoClure, chairman of the Liberal Repu oilcan Slate committee ol Penn? sylvania. _ _ A HURRICANE IN THE TROPICS.
