THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President, HORATIO SEYMOUR, OF N. Y. For vice-President, GEN. F. P. BLAIR, OF MISSOURI. COLUMBIA. Friday Morning. July 31, 1868. State Democratic Convention. A Convention of tho Democrat ic party of the Stato of South Carolina is hereby called, to meet at Colum? bia, on the night of Thursday, tho Gth of August, for the purpose of nominating eleotors for President and vice-President of tho Unitod States, and for other purposes. The Convention will bo composed of representatives from each District, according to tho rulo of representa? tion in the House of Representa tires. ? WADE HAMPTON. Chairman Qeixta&l Committee. . ..i. i ..... Hew TO RM*"* Gnus?.- The radi? cals h AW At ?Ast hit upon thc shortest method of securing tho votes of all the Southern States for Grant. South . Carolina formerly required her Presi? dential olootors to bo chosen by her Legislature; and, although she was slandered and villifled because of this odious feature of her Constitution, vet her example is to bo made a pre? cedent for radical fraud, and tho car? pet-baggers and scalawags of tbo negro Legislatures of the reconstruct? ed Southern States are to choose eleotors to cast tho votes of those States for Grant. The Richmond Dispatcli supposes thero is a great probability that this scheme will be carried out; and if Congress meets in September next, in pursuance of its resolution of adjournment, it will doubtless empower tho negro Con? ventions of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to choose Grant electors in those States. This is a notable scheme. It is a "short, sharp and decisive" mode of electing Grant. White people aro to go for nothing. Negroes are to select tho next Presi? dent. It has for us tho merit of being not less a wrong upon tho Northern people than upon tho Southern. Will they stand such acts of violence and revolution? Will they ignobly sit down in their degra? dation and suffer themselves thus to be insulted and spit upon? We shall see. AN IMMENSE BAN NEIL-The Sey? mour and Blair campaign banner for the Metropolitan Democratic Club of New York is tho largest ever made in this country. It is fifty feet long, and thirty feot wide, and when raised to its place in front of tho rooms of the club, on Union Square, will fill np Fourteenth street from ourb to curb. The portraits of Seymour and Blair are made from actual photo? graphs, and although six times as large as lifo, aro very correct. Across the top of tho banner is painted, in large colored letters two feet high, the name of the club. The portraits are at tho centre. Various gigantic symbolical devices, representing com? merce, agriculture, the Union, etc., fill up the canvas, and the city coat of-arms is surmounted by a represen? tation of tho American eagle. The book-ground is made up of handsome national flags. The names of the candidates at the bottom aro painted in glaring letters four feet long. . CORN CROPS IN MISSISSIPPI, ALA BAMA AND WEST FJJORIDA.-Tho Selma Times says that corn through? out the cane-brake Counties of Ala? bama, though small, is well filled. The uplands will mako half a crop. In West Florida, tho Eufanla News says, they will make abundance. In Mississippi, tho Jackson Clarion says, the supply of corn will be ampio. The crop in Henry County, Alabama, it is said, will be an averago one. Advices from Warsaw, Poland, mention that a secret deoroo has re? cently been given, forbidding tho authorities to grant passports to any young men between the ages of ten and twonty-flve years, in order to prevent them escaping the military conscription. In the same city an order of the chief of police forbids Polish Jews, wearing the traditional costume, to enter any of tho mineral water establishments. They have already been repulsed from tue pub? lia parks. Queries r Can the saine person hold office! both under tho old Constitution of Bouth Carolina and also under the new? Is P. J. Moses, Sr., a Circuit Judge under the old, at $3,000 per annum, or Chief Justice under tho new, ot $5,000? Is he either? Or is he both? If Chief Justice, when die! he be? come so, and when did he cease to bo a Circuit Judge? Has ho ever resigned ns Circuit Judge? Tc whom would he resign? Was his seeking for his election, to and acceptance of the Chief Justice? ship, equivalent to a vacation or re? signation of tho Judgeship? If tho new Court, i. e. the Su? preme Court, should never be organ? ized, and the old Circuit Courts bo re-established, would he be regareied as ono of tho Judges? If his tlisqnaliilcations (if he have auy) should never bo removed, or if tho Supremo Court should never bo organized for business, which salary would he draw-that of Judge or that of Chief Justice? Could ho draw either? If ho wero to die pre? sently, which salary would his execu? tor or administrator bo authorized to draw? An opiuion on these knotty points, from soino member of tho legal pro? fession, will gratify an IDLER. .Judge I''. J. Moses. The body now .assembled in Jan noy's Hall, styling itself tho Legisla? ture of South Carolina, elected a Chief Justico on Wednesday. Speak? ing of tho successful candidate, the Sumter "Watchman says: '.When, in 1800, Judge Moses de? clared, in the presence of his fellow citizens in the Court House, at this place, that if South Carolina tliel not secede, Sumter District must ilo so; and when, subsequently, as Commis? sioner of tho State, he so aroused the dormant energies of North Caro? lina, and assisted her to execute the work of secession; and when, at a still later period, with tho fire of Southern patriotism so burning in his bosom, to avenge tho wrongs of his injured section, and drive back tho invaders of his country, ho buckled on the trappings of war and joined Governor Wise in the moun? tains of West Virginia; and when, at a yet later ilaj*, ho so urged his fel? low-citizens on to the battle-?cld, and finally, in tho excess of his ardor, becamo the elashing commander of a company of home cavalry, to assist in protracting tho rebellion, it was but little believed, even with a know? ledge of his antecedents, that ho could ever cast himself into tho posi? tion he now occupies. And this be? lief could have been but strengthened when, chiefly iu consequence of his zeal in behalf of tho war on the part of his State and tho South, ho was investee! by a lato Legislature of bis State with tho dignity of a position among her honored judiciary. But it has been reserved for him, at this vital crisis, to betray and forfeit every nope and claim of confidence, and to perform Iiis crowning act of recreancy. As a politician, since '32, Judgo Moses has ever trimmed his sails to catch the popular breeze now upon one side, and now upon another-now halting to watch the tide, and now leaping forward abreast its foremost wave, when its direction was distinctly seen. This has been borne with quiet submission by tho people of his District, sinco he has been regarded abroad as tho expo? nent of their sentiments, until, at length, they may no longer remain silent and preserve their self-respect their character for intelligence, honor and independent thought. "We speak for Sumter District-the mass of her intelligent citizens, who, notwithstanding such examples and such influences in their midst, aro unmoved from tho path of principle and truth, and will, at all hazards, maintain their honor anti their re? spectability. "Tho above brief exhibit of this honorable gentleman's public ante? cedents and performances, and of his present position, has boen submitted solely with tho view of removing an impression, which outsiele the limits of our District may prevail, that his Honor reflects tho political convic? tions and integrity of our people. Tho day for such iuflueuco on his part has long sinco beon verging to its close-it has now set in the shadows of evening. Tho wand is no moro in tho magician's hand." Private letters from a very reliable source iu Paris, received by tho steamer of Monday, speak of an ap? proaching war botweeu Franco and Germany as inevitable, to commonce probably before tho year is out. Some event of great importance, prrf cipitating tho result, it is hinted, will occur as soon as Count Bismark re? turns to Berlin. These views, it is said, arc very widdy entertained in commercial and financial ciroles, and merchants and bankers alike aro shaping things accordingly. The Free Masons of Austria are seeking permission to re-open their lodges, whioh have been closed since 1794. What I Saw. MB. PHCENIX: There were one^or two matters connected with the un? excelled demonstration on Tuesday evening last, which I should like to refer to particularly. Ono was a transparency, with a pictnre of a carpet-hag, and under it, a line in? timating that it was "The present Coat of Arms of South Carolina." Pointed, hut truthful, wasn't it? The "Temple of Liberty" was no? ticed in hut few words, when it de? served special description. It was tho design of our old, useful, ener- ] getio and highly respected fellow- j citizen, John McKenzie; assisted in the workmanship by "quaint, queer, querulous," but kind-hearted Joe Zcaly. The blue dome was covered with numherless stars on the outside, and a beautiful reflector and other tasty devices inside; supported hy four hollow illuminated columns. Small Chinese lanterns were sus? pended in nnd around. Tho "God? dess" sat upon au elevated seat; her dress was a white silk skirt, striped with red; a blue hody, gemmed with thirtj'-seveu stars; aiu? a red silk scarf. On her curly head was a dainty crown, bearing in gilt letters tho word "Constitution." In ono hand she held a staff, surmounted by a "Liberty Cap;" thc other was sup? ported by a shield, with the national colors. Little Julian Selby per? sonated the "Goddess." Tho band which discoursed such beautiful music on tho occasion, is composed of old campaigners-hav? ing becu organized in 1861, and tho members served during the war-on urgent occasions using other imple? ments than musical instruments. They hail from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and call themselves tho "Big Creek Band." Thirteen out of the original fourteen were present. Mr. Weam, the leader, is a brother of tho well known photo? grapher of this city. OBSERVER, THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON TUESDAY NIOIIT-THE ATTEMPTS TO CREATE A DISTURBANCE.-We alluded briefly yesterday to thc circumstance ihnt a number of negroes attempted to interrupt tho Democratic meeting held on the previous night, hy shout? ing and cheering for Grant and Col? fax. Facts which havo siuce come to light, show that the colored men on thc outskirts of tho crowd wen* acting according to a pre-arranged plan, and that it was their purpose to provoke n collision betweeu the Democrats and thc radicals. Soon after tho meeting was organ? ized, tho tree-boxes near the stand were tom down by tho radical ne? groes. Theso were their arms, and they at once began to yoll and curse at thc white men near them. They shouted, "down with tho rebels," "drivo 'cm home," "cut their throats," "d-n the whito monkeys," varying tho tune occasionally by calling for three cheers for Grant, and by attempting to sing, "Rally round tho llag." Tho white people and the colored Democrats who wera with them took no uotico of these demonstrations, and the meeting was quietly adjourn? ed when Judgo Aldrich had finished speaking. After the adjournment, a number of negroes crowded up to the platform, saying they would at once uso it for a Grant and Colfax meeting. In this, thoy were disap? pointed, for tho staud was guarded by the members of the Democratic committee until it was taken down. Ono of tho peculiar features of tho occason was a stump speech made by Sam. Dickerson, a colored radical. Ho told the negroes that they were a disgrace to their party; that the Democrats did not interrupt their meetings, and they must not trouble the Democrats, and that if they did, they would bring down upon them? selves the ill will of the whole com? munity. This was not palatable to the negroes, who threatened him with violcuco, and he would have been mobbed, but for thc protection given him by tho police. There is no doubt that the whole movement was directed and arranged by tho white leaders of tho radicals. Tho forbearance and patience of the Democrats averted auy outbreak, but if snch demonstrations aro allow? ed to continuo, thoro must bo serious trouble. It is tho duty of tho police to seo that peaceful public meetings aro not interfered with, and as tho Democrats nover molest tho radicals when they havo thoir gatherings, it is expected that they themselves shall not bo annoyed by tho foul words and gestures of a few turbulent ne? groes.-Charleston News. A grand mass meeting of the De? mocratic party of Fairfield District, will bo held at Winnshoro, noxt Monday, tho 3d of August, for the purpose of ratifying tho nominations of the Hon. Horatio Seymour for President, and Gen. Frank P. Blair, for vice-President of tho United States; and also for tho purpose of taking measures to have the District reprt scnted at the State Democratic Convention, which is to meet in Columbia, on the 6th of August, for the purpose of nominating electors for President and vice-President, and organizing for the D?mocratie campaign generally. THE liEOISIiATURK. TWENTX-SECONP DAV'S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. COLUMBIA, July 30.-The Senate convened nt 12 o'clock, and imme? diately after the reading of the jour? nal, repaired to tho chamber of the House of Representatives, in con plianoe with the order adjourning the joint assembly, yesterday, in order to ballot for two Associate Justices of the Supremo Court. Re? turning tbereform, without further business, au adjournment was made. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Committee ou County Officers reported back a bill to fix tho amount of tho official bonds of State officers, with the recommendation that the subject matters therein contained, be divided and referred to appro? priate committees; but after some little discussion, tho House doter ! mined that jurisdiction in the whole I case lay with the Ways and Means I Committee, and tho bill was so re ! ferred. The Committee on Privileges and Elections made a favorable report on I thc application of A. L. McCaslin, of ' Abbeville, for the removal of his political disabilities, which was made tho Special Order for to-morrow. Tho Speaker announced that iu accordance with the rule adopted by the House, it was his dut}' to refuse to take notice or entertain the con? tingent accounts of any jailors, she rifts, ?co., unless they carno from tho office of the Comptroller-General. On motion of Smith, (Dem.,) the Committee of Privileges aud Elec? tions was instructed to turn over all papers in their charge, having refer? ence to the removal of political dis? abilities, to the Special Committee on that subject. A communication was received from Gov. Scott, returning, without his approval, tho eoncurreut resolu? tion releasing A. E. Bristow, sherill* of Marlboro County, from liability on account of tho non-collection of certain tax executions, which resolu? tion has, however, become operative by the fact that it has not been re? turned to the General Assembly within threo days after its adoption, as required by law. The Senate was announced, and tho two Houses, in joint assembly, proceeded to vote for two Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, with the following result: Whole number of votes cast 13-1; necesary to a choice GS; A. J. Wil? lard received 07; J. M. Rutland 21; Lemuel Boozer 15; S. A. H?ge 12; C. D. Melton ?; A. H. Duukiu 3; J. A. Inglis 3; Thomas Thompson 2; Wm. Muuro 2; T. N. Dawkins 1; B. F. Perry 1. No candidato having received a sufficient number of votes, tho Presi? dent declared that there was no elec? tion, and the joint assembly pro? ceeded to tho second ballot, with the following result: "Whole number of votes cast 130; necessarv to a choice GO; A. J. Wil? lard received 90; J. M. Rutlaud 12; Lemuel Boozer 10; S. A. H?ge 7; C. D. Melton 9; A. H. Dunkin 2; Thomas Thompson2; William Munro 1; T. N. Dawkins 2; B. F. Perry 1. A. J. Willard having received tho re? quired number of votes, was declared elected, and the Assembly proceeded to a third ballot for the other Asso? ciate Justice: Whole number of votes cast 131; necessary to a choice 00; S. A. Hogo received 50; J. M. Rutlaud 44; Lemuel Boozer 18; C. D. Melton 13. No candidate having received a suffi? cient number of votes, a fourth bal? lot was taken, the name of Lemuel Boozer being first withdrawn: Whole number of votes cast 131; necessary to a ohoico 00; S. A. H?ge received 73; J. M. Rutland 41; C. D. Melton 13; William Munro 1; Thos. Thompson 2; A. H. Dunkin 1. S. A. H?ge having received the required number of votes, was declared elected. Throughout tho balloting, the Democrats voted for persons who are not candidates-such as Messrs. Mel? ton, Dawkins, Inglis, Thompson, Munro, Dawkins and Perry. Subse? quently, a vote was takon to deter? mine which of tho two Associates should bo entitled to the long term, and resulted in favor of Willard. Tho joint assembly then dispersed, and the House resumed the consider? ation of business. DeLarge, Chairman of Committeo of Ways and Means, reported a bill, authorizing tho Governor to uego tiato a loan of $125,000, to meet the current expenses of tho State, at tho lowest possible rato of interest using as security therefor such colla? terals of tho State as might bo requi? site. Tho bill was read a first time, and ordored for a second reading on to-morrow. Miller gave notice of a bill to regu? late tho organization of fire aud hook and ladder companies. Tho Houso then adjourned. Tho CROPS.-The recent rains, which began n week ago. carno in good timo to save most of the crops in this District from total ruin. The appearauco of cotton and corn was alarming up to Monday, the 20th instant. Sinco thon, the most re? freshing showers, nltnost daily and nightly, with gleams of sun-shino intervening, bas changed the whole aspect of our fields; and the farmers may now rejoice in the prospect of ? bountiful harvest.-Marion Crescent. FIRE IN THE WOODS IN GANADA. It is estimated that the fire in the woods this season has destroyed in Ottawa district standing pine lumber to the value of $4,000,000, and the woods are still burning. The boats on the Montreal route are greatly detained hy the smoke on the river. Discount 011 American invoices is thirty per cont. The radical Mayor of Norfolk un? dertook to order down Seymour and Blair flugs in that city. A copy of Dix's order, "Whoever attempts to pull down the ling, shoot him on the spot," brought the white negro to his seuscs. RICHLAND DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

Stepheus, is the title of a valuable work just issued by tho National Publishing Company, Atlanta, Ga. Histories of the late civil war have sprung up like mushrooms, and they can now be numbered almost by hundreds; but all who are desirous of arriving at a correct understand? ing of the causes, aud a clear history of the events of tho late lamentable war, have felt the want of a reliable history of the same from a Southern stand-point, by some representative mau of the South. This want is about to bo supplied by Alexander H. Stephens, who was a most earnest protestant against the war, and only succumbed at the last moment, when his State, in spite of his warning, passed the ordinance of secession. The bare announcement that this distinguished statesman had deter? mined to write a book, would of it? self bo sufficient to kindle a lively and wide-spread interest in all sec? tions of the country; but when it is known that ho has chosen as his theme the ono so fruitful as the late American War, the absorbing inter? est of tho subject, together with tho evident and singular fitness of the author for its treatment, unite in awakening a curiosity entirely un? paralleled in the annals of American literature. It presents a careful political ana? lysis of the past, separating real from apparent causes of the late unhappy conflict, and gives those interior lights and shadows of tho great war, only known to those high officers, who watched the flood-tide of revolu? tion from its fountain-springs, and which were so accessible to Mr. Ste? phens, from his position as second officer of the Confederacy. To a public that has been surfeited with apparently similar productions, it presents a change of fare, both agree? able and salutary, and an intellectual treat of the highest order.,. The great American war has at last found a historian worthy of its importance, and at whose hands it receives that moderate, candid and impartial treat? ment, which truth and justice -so urgently demand. This work is sold only by subscrip? tion, and the publishers want an agent in every County. MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.-The post office open during the week from SJ f. a. m. to 7 p. m.
