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

ceeded to tho second ballot, with the
following result:
"Whole number of votes cast 130;

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.

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

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.

"The War between the States, its
Causes, Character, Conduct and
Results," by Hon. Alexander H.
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.
