TUE DEMOCBATIC TICKET. 177,1 ^| pp 1868 For President, HORATIO' SEYMOUR, OP N. Y. For vice-President, GEN. F. P. BLAIR, OF M?SSOURL COLUMBIA. Sonday Morning, August 2, 18C8. State Democratic Convention. A Convention of the, Democratic party of the State of South Carolina is hereby called, to meet at Colum? bia, on the hight of Thursday, the 6th of August, for the purpose of nominating electora for President and Vice-president of the Unitod States, and for other purposes. Tho Convention will be composed ol representatives from each District, according to the rule of representa-' iion in tho House of Representa? tives; WADE HAMPTON, Chairman Central Committee. fainer xvyan on "Irlsli Radicals." Th? Banner cf (Father Ryan's paper) contains some pungent remarks on the formation of au "Irish Radical C?ob" in Richmond, whose proceedings, it says, "would bo ludicrous, if they were not too mortifying to contemplate." Tho article is evidently from tho pen of Father Ryan himself, and after refer? ring to thc fact that several Irishmen had shown their adhesion to radical? ism by .discontinuing the Banner, it continues as follows: "We have charity enough for a Northern American radical, or a Pro? testant radical; but none whatever for an Irishman or a Catholic who embraces the political creed of that party. They have no excuse, no pre? text I They have seen their own land deluged; with the blood of martyrs, their religiou proscribed, their priests hun ted down as if they were dogs, their property confiscated, their schools closed np, their children de? prived; of the means of education, their families starved to death, their leading mon hung or banished for no other orime than loving Ireland and tho glorious old faith of St, Patrick too mach., They have seen and felt all this, and to-day they seo radical? ism preaching ana teaching the same bigotry and intolerance that led to all their woes and sufferings. They see in ^rant a hater of their race and relig.on, in Colfax a persecutor of their race and creed, in Breckiuridge, the radical apostle, a would-be de? stroyer of foreigners aud Catholics in all the leaders and journal.; of that party the life-long intolerants and persecutors of everything foreign and Roman Catholic! "And yet these Riohmond Irish? men dare to stand up in tho light of day and proclaim themselves mem? bers of such a party! 'Oh! shame,' where is thy blush 1* Is there uo feeling, no sentiment of self-respect, at all left in these minions of power, these tools of degradation, those vile, polluted creatures? Are they so de? based, so ignorant, so wicked, that they can bo bought away from the faith of their fathers and barter the glories of Ireland for a policeman's pince, or a constable's baton, or act as paltry lackeys to corrupt, and de? graded political tricksters? Shame on thom! Ireland spurns them America despises them! As for us, we loathe them; we pity the unfor? tunate oity of Richmond that it has to endure the presence of these de? bauched croatures, and thank them for giving us the gratifying privilege of erasing their names from tho sub? scription books of the Banner of the South. They are not wanted. We don't want them to stand among the names of tho pure women, and true men, and innocent children of the South, who are so faithful and de? voted to the 'lost cause;' we don't want them to stand among the names of the sincere and earnest Catholics and true-hoarted Irishmen, who love principle better than place, and would not disgrace their religion or native land by sacrificing the inte? rests and tho property of their adopted country. Yes, let them go! and in the condemnation of their own consciences let thom dwell. Perhaps they may, ero long, open their eyes to the folly and wickedness of their course, and repent of tho evil thing which they bavo dono. If not, let_ them forswear their faith and their nationality. The ano? maly is too great-too striking to exist. Thoy cannot bo Irish Catho? lics and American radicals. They must give up tho ono or tho othei, and tho sooner the better." Sccwtnry Soward is reported to have another real estate speculation in view. It is tho purchase, for a naval station, of an island in the East Indies, rich, fertile and beautiful, in? habited by a few Malays, and which will place us upon an equal footing with any European r>ower jn the Eastern seas. T_ .Vb? Xi?t? Irruption lato tne Senat?. ^ph? Baltimore Sun says: '.iv^Bx "Some of tbe carpet-bag Senutors who have lately floated, as debris, upon the corrupt stream of radical reconstruction .politics i uto the Unitod States Senate, are said to have disgusted old-fashioned Repub? lican Senators by tho uncouth and ravenous appetite with which they rushed at onco at the ' flesh-pots. The pr6sonoo alono of suoh men in such a plaoe was enough to make tho decorous old stagers stund aghast. Suoh n position as u seat in tbe Sen? ate is usually supposed to be tbe rich reward of the training, experi? ence, superior gifts and statesman? ship of a long life. It has always beon considered a post worthy of any man's ambition. Tbe Senate has been looked to as excelling, in dignity, stability, and conservative influences, all other deliberative assemblies in America. It has been j the arena v.-hero the truly great men of tbe past conducted those grand intellectual and political combats which tho country can never forget. Although not up to tbe ancient standard now, yet that body has continued to retain, in good degree, tho select public mon of tho country in talents, attainments and reputa? tion. There aro men there learned and famous in law; there are hoary statesmen; there are elegant scholars; and most of them (there; are excep? tions) have risen, acaording to the usual roles of political promotion, step by step to their present exalted position.'. Certainly, it mas; be irri? tating in the extreme to suoh men to see a herd of adventurers, not at all reputable for intelligence or charac? ter, who had paid nono of the cost which they had paid for greatness, rushing into tho highest legislative places in the laud* But the crown? ing mortification which followed tho dumping of the carpet-baggers out of their reconstruction cart into tho Senate, was the eager howl they set np at once for their money, insisting that they should have, compensation as Senators, not from tho date at which their States were recoguized and entitled to representation, but for the entire session, for the whole of the Fortieth Congress, since March, 18G7. Even the New York Times is compelled to say that, while notable every day to agree with Mr. Garrett Davis, it entirely agrees with the motion, which be pressed to its passage, limiting thoir pay to the actual time of their service. Yet, why should Seuators be disgusted and astounded? Who brought those men there? What did they come to the Senate for, except pay and pro vand? What could bo expected of the grubs engendered by the politi? cal corruption of reconstruction, but that they should mako their way at once to tho middle of the public cheese? Certainly, thoso Senators who bnvo been most zealous and persistent in tho reconstruction in? cubation should not now bo ashamed or enraged at their hybrid offspring." Tho Washington correspondent of tho Boston Advertiser (radical) writes: "Tho new impeachment schemo brought forward in tho House, on Saturday, resulted in a lesson which some of the so-called carpet-baggers may take to heart, with great benefit to the country and themselves. Mr. Hamilton, of Florida, was ambitious to shine in tho matter. The Speaker had told bira privately, over and over again, that tho subject could only be introduced when no other business was before tho House, but Mr. Hamilton persisted in rising to antagonize it with more important subjects, and, when he got the floor, instead of presenting bis impeach? ment matter, he begau to lecture tho Speaker, charging him with slight? ing both him [Hamilton] and his proposition. The Speaker thereupon administered to the half-fledged Rep? resentativo a rebuke that will not soon be forgotten by any ono in the chamber. Old members say that it was one of the most severe ever delivered from the chair, and as well merited as it was severe. The im? peachment was quietly buried onde, tho table of the Judiciary Commit? tee." Mr. Jefferson Davis and family sailed from Quebec on Saturday last, for Europe. It has been stated in a Washington paper, that in his com? ing trial at Richmond he will appear by counsel. This may or may not bo so; but we have reusou to believo that tho circumstances under which Mr. Davis sails for Europo, are suoh as would make it desirable to remain there, with a view of providing for bis family. Unlike many of tho lend? ing public mon of this country in civil lifo, Mr. Davis is not a lawyer. His original profession was that of arms. He, therefore, cannot resort to practice at the bar, as so many others hnvo dono whose fortunes were wrecked during the war. Hence other employment is nocessary, and tho expected opportunity of a com? mercial connection with a house in England for American business pro? bably now takes him abroad. --- Madame Itala Garibaldi, the lately married wife o?

GOOD ADVICE FUOM THE MERCURY. ron THE MERCURY.-The Charleston Mercury says: 11 AHM DONE.-Private advices from our most strenuous friends at the North, request that we should pro? test n gui nt the imprudent expressions that have escaped some Southern speakers, since tho adjournment of tho National Democratic Convention. It is represented to us that great injury is accruing to tho canso from such imprudence. We, therefore, Bhall make no apologies for asking tho attention of our public speakers to tho fact. Wo are all desirous of pushing on tho good work of success, and no ono would voluntarily im? pede it.? conree, who was awaro of the fact. Whilst no man in tho South .should be, and no true man is, ashamed of our great lost cause; and whilst when wo-speak of tho past, wo should speak like true men, it is I questionable whether at this time anything is to bo gained by too much reference to things that jar on people's nerves. What wo want just now is to WIN. Let us keep oui powder for that purpose. Too much is at stake to waste it now iu feux de \joie. Let us have our pyrotechnics next March. In the meantime, friends, let us, without abatiug one sentiment that is true, be cool and steady, and givo tho enemy nc advantage. Wo have a strong foo to encounter. Wo can't afford to giv< him all the advantage of positiou. Lot us guard our flanks, make secure our lines, and when the time oomcs next November, let us down on him like an avalanche, and double him up like a grub-worm, and then scat? ter him to the winds. Wo havo tho power. Do not let us unnecessarily fritter it away, in unavailing skii mialling, and lieecclless, thoughtless, scattering assaults. Lot us work, and speak, TO WIN.

" ,T ? ! ! ! - .J J POLTXIOAII CHANOE.-The following from the Dayton Ledger is one of the many ?vidences of tho political change that is now going on in Ohio. It soya: "Ohurlea Morris, of Troy, Ohio, one of the leading lawyers of Miami County, and hitherto un activo Be-' publican, hos publicly announced his intention to support Seymour and Blair. Quite a number of other prominent Bepublicans in Miami County have renounced their former faith, and tho Democracy there are oven confident of being ubi*.', to carry the County this fall." Tho Philadelphia Age has the fol? lowing communication : "We feel proud to lenrn that 100 Gorman citizens in ono of tho upper wards of the city, who have hitherto I voted the radical ticket, havo declared their intention to support Seymour and Blair. The German citizens of the Sixth Ward aro also flocking to the support of tho Democratic party, being unwilling to belong any longer to such a corrupt, radical and revo? lutionary party as that now iu power. Tho Germans, not only in tho upper wards, but all over tho city, ar6 coming into the Democratic ranks. We toko pleasure iu stating, on tho authority of Dr. Both, ono of tho leading German citizens of tho Sixth Ward, aud who is well posted as to the German sentiment throughout tho city, that three-fourths of tho Gormans will support Seymour and Blair and tho other Democratic nominees." A couutry girl, in Iowa, having been decoyed into a bouse of ill fame, at Des Moines, the farmers of the vicinity organized a vigilanco committee, and at night took posses? sion of the house, turned ul) the inmates out of doors, and thou set fire to the house. The building was entirely destroyed. The missing girl was not found, and it was feared that the keeper of tho bouse, who was arrested, would bo hung by tho mob, as it was strongly suspected that tho girl had been ruined and then murdered. Tho blustering Fenians have been giving tho Canadians another warn? ing of their terrible designs; and tho Buffalo Courier, in its account of tho late Buffalo Feuian Congress, says it is empowered to announce, in their behalf, "that something or other of great moment has been determined upon, and Canada and tho British Empire, generally, will see what they will seo before loug." Tho Fenians certainly beat all the rest of tho world in the way of threatening. As Beast Butler was passing through Baltimore, on Monday even? ing, en route to Massachusetts, ho was arrested upon two suits issued by the Superior Court of Maryland. One was on a suit for falso imprison? ment, sued out by W. C. Wooley, of Cincinnati, and the other by Kimber? ly & Brothers, of Baltimore, to re? cover 53,000 exacted of thom by Gen. Butler, when commanding at Fortress Monroe. HOMICIDE.-A difficulty occurred on tho 22d ult., on the plantation of Mr. J. B. Campbell, between two young freedmen, Charles Griffin and Burrel Williams, resulting io tho stabbing aud instant death of Wil? liams. It is said the affair grew out out of an assault by Williams on a little brother of Griffin. A coroner's inquisition was held, and Griffin ar? rested and committed to jail. [LaurennviUe Herald. A WEST POINT CADET APPOINTED FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.-Tho York ville Enquirer, of Thursday, says: "Wo are pleased to learn that Geo. Daniel Wallace, son of A. S. Wallace, Esq., of this County, has received au appointment as tho cadet at West Point for tho Fourth Congressional District of South Carolina. Ho is required to report for examination on the first of September." Thirty bodies of those drowned at Ellicott City, Maryland, in tho flood on Friday, and seven drowned at Baltimore, have now boen recovered. Tho Baltimore City Council has ap? propriated about $300,000 toward repairing immediately tho damages by tho flood, and relieving the suffer? ers. Thousands aro still engaged in dooring away the debris and repair? ing dilapidations. Tho Indians recently assomble.d at Fort Lamed, have disappeared in a mysterious manner. It is supposed that they havo gone to placo their women and children in a placo of safety before renewing hostilities. They wore greatly dissatisfied because a portion of their annuities was with? held, in payment for depredations committed on settlors. THE OrnEH JEFF. DAVIS.-While Jeff. Davis, lato of tho Southern Con? federacy, is a wanderer on tho earth, awaiting his trial for rebellion, Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, a fighting Un ?ob sol? dier of tho war, is head of tho military department of Alaska, an empire larger than thut of Austria. Who could have thought it on tho evening of the first Bull Run? On Thursday, John Thompson, the oldest known inhabitant of Long Island, diod at Smithtown, at the advnuoed age of 104 years. Mr. Thompson served in tho continental army daring the revolutionary war, and was present at tbe battle of Long Island. XLiooal Tl-fcozrice-j?.

Howell, on Gervais street, near St?rke's Hill. It was a wooden building, and entirely destroyed. A quantity of winter clothing and blankets were consumed. Incendia? rism. Two candidates have been nomi? nated in Camden, Baya the Charles? ton iv>fr?j, to fill the vacaucy in the so-called Legislature, caused by the death of Solomon Goorge W. Dill. David Cooper, alias Wbile, one of the nominees, was arrested on a charge of bigamy, a short time after his nomination. While the other candidate, the Rev. Jones, has been charged with stealing. TAKING CARE OE THC FREED ONES. Another case was brought to our no? tice yesterday, diametrically opposite to the incident published in our last. A colored woman, who has been liv? ing with a Democratic family in this city more than two years, fell sick, a short time ago, when fdic wos care? fully attended to by her white em? ployers; a doctor employed; delica- j cies, etc., furnished. During her I entire illness, her colored friends a\>-1 peared to have forgotten that such an i individual existed-not one of them | called to seo the sick woman. Will any of the lately discovered so-called radical friends of the colored race do as much? We trow not. A writer in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, (published at Due West, Abbeville District, ) having apparently lost his temper, takes tho Plicenix to task with reference to a paragraph stating that tho catalogue of the Erskine College was printed in Phila? delphia, when it could have been done in this State; and intimates that a proposition was made to tho Pluenix to do the work, but that the charges was one-third more than the Philadelphia printerdeinauded. This is incorrect. Give us a trial, Mr. K., before making such ossertions. Ho also refers to an article iu regard to two denominational colleges located in other sections of the State. If K. will take the trouble to furnish the iuformatiou which he desires to seo spread before tho world, we will un? dertake to rovise and print it. The Legislature accomplished no? thing, yesterday, of public interest tho time being consumed principally in reading a number of bills which wo have already noticed. At tho rate tho legislat ion of this delecto bio Assembly is progressing, tho State bids fair to be mulcted for a pretty considerable sum before an adjourn? ment is made. The Assembly has been in session now for twenty-six days-the usual duration of the former Legislatures of this State and yet not a singlo bill has passed both Houses, and a large majority of those which have been introduced are still in the hands of tho different committees, with very little prospect of being reported upon soon. Tho expense, so far, amounts alone, for the per diem of the members, to 824,000, and when to this is added tho pny of clerks, printing, station? ery, hall hire, etc., tho amount swells up to the vicinity of ?35,000. What it will figure up iu the end is entirely conjectural, but wo believe tho amount will bo measured only by the ability of tho State to pay the bills. RELIGIOUS SERVICES THIS DAY.

DEMOCRATIC MEETIKO AT H?RER CHURCH.-A large meeting took placo op yesterday nt Hbreb Church, in Fairfield District A number of co? lored persons were present. Tho indicate had been invited to a full and free discussion ; but no repre? sentatives of that side ' appeared. Jamea D. Trade well, Esq., J. G. Gibbes, Esq., and Col. J. P. Thomas addressed tbe crowd. Wm. Myers (colored) and John Smart (colored) also spoke to tbo freedmen present. The remarks of Wm. Myers, ;who is nu excellent mechanic of this city, and a man of character and intelli? gence, were capital in tono and sub? stance. Ho stated, that he was there, not because he wanted to speak, but because bo felt it his duty to repre? sent to bis race what he behoved to bo their true interests. As for his freedom and their freedom, he felt more indebted to God than to the mon either of the North or the South. He thought that the interests of the ? black man were so bound up with those of the Southern people, that it became tho colored people to live in harmony with the whites of this section. As he understood Southern Democracy, it gnvo him civil rights, aud held out to his people a suffrage when they should become qualified to wield* it. This was enough for him. He knew the comparative weakness of his people, and did not want to seo them try conclusions with a stronger and more numerous race. As for himself, he intended to link in his fortunes with the people of tbe South, where he knew he would have a better showing than at tho North. Upon the whole, his speech was unusually sensible and manly, and bore the marks of great sincerity. At this meeting, Mr. McKinstry presided, nud Mr. Robinson acted as Secretary. It ended with cheers for Seymour and Blair. THE CITY ELECTION.-A resolution was offered in the House of Repre? sentatives, yesterday, to continue in office thc present Mayor and Council of this city until the regular time for holding elections, under the present charter; but the resolution was promptly ordered to lie on the table. This indicates that an election will soon bo ordered-in fact, a bill is now pending to provide for the mu? nicipal elections in all the corporate cities and towns in the State, and there is every probability of. its early passage. The Central Executive Committee aro requested to meet on the 6th instant, at Nickerson's Hotel, Co? lumbia, nt 7 P. M. As business of importance will be brought before the Committee, a full attendance is desirable. WADE HAMPTON, Chairman.

Tho recent order issued from the War Department puts an end to the existence of tho Second Military Dis? trict, of which South Carolina con? stituted a part, and in accordance with the terms of the order, the Com? manding General of the T>epartment of tho South bas now only military jurisdiction. Tho various officers c1 irged with the administration of civil affairs have been discontinued, and tho employees and clerks dis! charged. We learn that in about tefl or fifteen days, the troops now sta? tioned at Summerville will, also, be ordered off, and there wiit remniu in tho State only a sufficient number to guard tho various posts and forti? fications. Nothing positive, how? ever, is known. The troops remain? ing hero are subject to tbo commands of General Meade, and it is thought in military circles that they will soon bo ordered off. - Charleston Courier.
