Saturday Morning:, May 14,1870. Tho Juno OOM V? nt lo n -T11 o Btnlo Tlciict. In this State the point is to harmonize, upon ft. common basia, all the elements of opposition to the present regime. To do this, it is essential for the opposition to meet in convention. The convention will moot. Let each and every doun ty send able, earnest and good men. Let that convention make its nominations for Governor and Lieotenant-Govornor, and then let every effort be put forth to elect them. As to the specifio mode of conducting the canvass for political RE? FORM; as to tho mode of crystalizing all the elements of anti-radical feeling-let the convention discuss this matter freely and fully, but under the sense of the paramount importance of. harmonious and concerted action', and then when the programme shall be fixed upon, let the determination be taken to go warmly and heartily into tho great and patriotic V/oik of the second effort for political redemption. We observe that the An? derson Intelligencer, whilst properly ad? vocating that eyery. effort be made to put good and trtt? men in tho Legislature, advocates non-acti?n as to the general Stato tickot. It advocates that the op? position l?t this matter go by default. Th$/i?bur jajJgtnent, is anything but "masterly inactivity." We never can wo never shall give our assent to this programme. We cannot appreciate the wisdom of a> suggestion like this. Wo hold that it is dbe to the State-t? our? selves-to the causo of good government and'good m?ralB, that we do malte a fight upon thia ticket. We know now who th,?radical nominee- for Governor will be. It ia tho present incumbent. Does the TrU?Uig?ncer hold that Gov. Scott should walk unchallenged over the field? We presume not. We believe not. In our opinion, to place no candidates on the State ticket, in opposition to the radical nominees, would be a political blunder an act of grievous omission. Let no policy like this bo entertained. Let us grapple boldly with the problem before us. Lot us make a general and a gener? ous rally iu behalf of relief from im? pending political ruin. We cannot-we dare not-wo mast not fail to work this year for political reform. If South Carolina is to be built up by industrial development-if we desire capitalists and settlers to come to us, wo must offer to them the prospect of n better rule, or wo shall bo left unaided and unfriended to fight our unequal battle with the leagnefed foes that are preying upon the State. Let us work whilst it is day. To recede from the canvass before tho State would be unmanly, unpatriotic and suici? dal. We advocate an aggressive modo of action. Charge homo upon the re? sponsible partita all the fraud, all the corruption, all the bribery, all tho self aggrandizement that uro founded in truth. If men have Bold themseves or betrayed the interest of the people, let them be exposed, and let this be done whether they bo whito or black, native or foreigu. It is timo for us to clear away the mists about us. It is time for as to get rid of tho noxious vapors that are thicken i ug nround. We want to breathe a parer air, and see the duwu of our new lifo widen into a clear and glorious day. -<????-> Our Twu-fuld Work. The Chester Reporter, referring to the effort in behalf of IMMIGRATION, made at the recent convention in Charleston, says: "For our part, wo attach very little importance to any schemes that can be devised for the encouragement of immi? gration. When a country is in such a condition as to invite immigration, it will como unsolicited. When it is not in that condition, no amount of mere tem? porary inducements held out will bring it. So long as our Stato is cursed with such a corrupt government as now han? dles its purse and its sword, emigrants are not coming here. They would bc fools if they did. Or if they do como, they will soon move off to other Staten, where tuxes do not take all of a man's substance, and where tho government is administered for tho protection of all citizens ulike, and not merely for thu party who support it. "Tho most practical suggestion that was offered was the proposal of the South Carolina Riilroud, to givo altcrnato sec? tions of land along its hue to permanent settlers. This looks like business, and is calculated to bring iu settlers, if any inducement can draw them." We admit the force of the suggestion hore mado. And tho view taken by the Reporter coniirms tho wisdom of the policy we havo advocated in these co? lumns. Our work in this Stato is two? fold in character. Por-mcAL- REFORM and INDUSTRIAL ACTiviTy givo our programme in four suggestive words. Writo these words npon our banners. Illustrate them in our acts.

A public meeting is called in Charles? ton to Bend delegates to the Juno conven? tion. Tho cali for the meeting is nume? rously signed. Let the ball thus set iu motion be rolled on until we securo a full convention. The call referred to reads thns: "The citizens of Charleston County, who recognize the civil and political equality of all tho citizens of tho Stato and tho equal right of all citizens, under tho laws of the State, to hold publio of floe, and who are willing, irrespective of party, class or color, to join in the move? ment for securing to South Carolina an ablo, honest and economical government, which shall maintain the rights of labor, encourage the influx of capital, and rep? resent, with fidelity and justice, nil classes of our people, are invited to us semble in mass meeting, nt Hibernian Hall, on Monday evening, May 16, at 8 o'clock, to choose delegates to represent this County in tho Stato Convention, which, at tho suggestion of the Press Conference, assembles in Columbia, on June 15tb, next." Tlie Hank of the Skate-An Important Decisi?n? On Saturday, Judge Carpenter ren? dered his decision in the case of Dabney, Morgan & Co. vs. the President and Directors of tho Bank of tho State, Baring Bros: ct. al. This was an action brought on behalf of the holders of the bills issned by the bank to be preferred in the distribution of its assets. The question at issue was tho force and ell cot of the charter of tho bank ratified in 1812, and the forco and effect of tba act of 1838, being an act to rebuild the city of Charleston, under which 82,000,000 of bonds and stocks were issued by tbe State and guaranteed by the bank, part of which was negotiated in England, and the remainder in this country. It was contended that whatever prior lien bill holders may have had under the charter, the act of 1838 gave a specific lien to the holders of the Fire Loan bonds and stocks in preference to all other credi? tors; by tho counsel for Baring Brothers it was claimed that tho boud-bolders were preferred over the stockholders. The caso was argued by A. G. Magrath, Esq., on tho part of tho bill-holders, by Messrs. Hay ne & Campbell on tho part of the Fire Loan bond-holders, and by Messrs. H. Buist and T. Y. Simons on behalf of the Fire Loan stockholders. Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, Attorney Genernl, represented tho interest of the State. Judge Carpenter's opinion in the eise is very lengthy and elaborate. In it bo bolds that tho Fire Loan bond holders and blockbolders ure of an equality in respect to their rights, and that they have a prior lien upon tho assets of the bank; that tho bill-holders and other creditors of tho bauk aro entitled to share rnteably in the residue; and that for any deficiency tho creditors have an equitablo claim against tho State. That the State, ns solo stockholder, having withdrawn from tho bauk moro than the principal and interest of the cutir? amount of tho loan, is, iu equity, bound to secure tho unsecured creditors from loss. Tho following is the Judge's de? cree: Ordered, That this caso be referred to the Hon. B. F. Dunkin, as special referee, and that ho call in tho two classes of depositors represented ia this case, by those who deposited before the war and by those who deposited during tho war, by advertisement in the Charleston JVe/os, Charleston Courier and Columbia PHOENIX for six weeks, on or beforo -day of - to provo their claims, and if such claims are not so proved, they will bo barred from all participation iu tho assets of said bauk or claims upon tho State; and it is further ordered, that said special referee take proof as to tho character of tho in? debtedness of said two classes of de? positors, as to whether tho transactions were with reference to lawful money of tho United States, or Confederate currency, nud such of them as bo finds to bavo been in Confed?ralo currency, bo will ascertain the value of each claim in tho lawful currency of tho United, States; and it is further ordered, that tho said special referee also ascertain what portion of the bills already proved were issued with rofereuco to Coufudoratu currency, and to value of Buch bills in lawful money of the United States. He will also ascertain what portion of the other debts, already proved, wore con? tracted in Confederate currency, and as to such debts ho will ascertain the value in lawful money of tho United States at the dato of tho contract. Il is further ordered, That tho said special referee ascertain tho amount of the indebtedness of tho bank upon the principio of this decree, giving to the Stato credit for tho amount of stocks and other securities left with the bank as collaterals, and giving to the State also credit for the amount of tho bills redeemed by tho issue of bonds. And it is further ordered, that tho said special j referee tux the costs of this suit, nud I report to this court on tho first day of ? its next November term. (Signed) R. B. CARPENTER. The jail of Kershaw County is said to bo very insecure. Two prisoners-Levi Wood and James Bracey-made their escape bu Sunday night last. Connoisseurs, go to Pollock's. Tho jaunty little breakfast caps, trim? med with gay ribbons and lace, uro com? ing in fashion again, and the ladies will no doubt bo delighted to hear it. Thirsty people, go to Pollock's. On last Monday afternoon, tbero wa* a little stir in the Republican circles, created by . tho nd vont of Gov. Scott and several ot&erft'of the party. At night, the dru mi weiro beaten, trumpets blown, etc., and un nudienco gathered in the open air to hear what was to bo said. Our reporter hastened to the scene, and arrived after the Governor had commenc? ed his talk. Ho seemed at that time to be making nn effort to please his hearers bj descanting upon tho difference be? tween a mountain people and those who dwell along the Reu-sliore; the former of which he described as bravo and gene? rous and huving pretty women-the lat? ter, as irrituble. Wo heard but little of this speech, and therefore cannot speak of it as a whole; but in what we heard, tho speaker appeared to be quite at a loss for words or ideas-perhaps both. His concluding remarks, certainly, were not impressive, being destitute ulike of all the elements of rhetoric and logic. The new President of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, Mr. Frederick Bush, was next introduced. He said that ho was not a politician, and would not make a political speech. Ho waa in? terested in the railroad from Greenville to Columbia, and came here on business. It was his desire to make money and enable his hearers to make money also. Time wasmoney, ns the Yankees thought, and he hoped to enable the people of Greenville to mnke forty-eight boura out of twenty-fonr. The railroad would be made a first class road ns Boon as practi? cable, and, by the introduction of a con? templated schedule, business men could leave this city about 5 o'clock in tho af? ternoon and arrive in Columbia at about ll or 12 that night, get a good rest, and be ready for the transaction of business next morning, and return homo in the evening; thus making the ron nd trip in a little over twenty-four hours. Tho fare would be reduced also-making it from ono-fonrth to one-third leSB than it is now. Merchants would thus be enabled to travel cheaply, and, by the contem? plated reduction in freight charges, bring their goods here at a small cost, sell them cheaper than heretofore, and thuR all would bo benefitted. He ridiculed tho idea that Northern men could not live at tho South. Mr. Patterson, vice-President of the road, spoke next, and repeated substan? tially what Mr. Bush had said in regard to the proposed changes in the road. He said that it was a matter iu which all ought to rejoice. A first class railroad was tho best civilizer we could have. This was a beautiful country. He lind traveled over a great part of the United States, but had never seeu a country possessed more of tho clements of true greatness than this. Such a railroad as they proposed making, would tend to de? velop these elements and make the coun? try what it ought to be. Land Commissioner R. C. DeLarge, (colored,) having been introduced, vio? lated the proprieties of tho occasion, by making a political speech, in which he said much that had better been left un? said, concluding his remarks with ex? plaining that the object of the Legisla? ture, in creating tho office of Land Commissioner, was to enable the land? less, irrespective of color or politics, to purchase homes. Ho advised those who wished aid, to go to work, earn money und keep it, so as to be able to buy. The Stute Auditor, Mr. Tomliuson, next appeared, and suid he had not ex? pected to speak. Ho thought it would bo out of place to mako a political speech on such an occasion, but did not see how he could make a railroad speech without in some way touching on poli? tics. One reason why ho rejoiced iu the proposed chango in the railroad was that it would improvo tho politics of the country. A good railroad brought thc people nearer together, identified theil interests, and thus, UB Mr. Patterson hud said, proved a good civilizer. He al? luded to the pleasure it gave him to no? tice tho change that had como over oui people since his first visit to this pluce, and in doing so, spoke in complimentary terms of Carolinians, making some allu? sions, however, that were in bad taste. Upon the whole, his remarks were about us fuir as could bo expected from one ol his record. At the conclusion of his speech. Mr. James M. Allen, who had introduced thc different speakers, advised all to gc homo and get ready for a ride. During tho evening, there were a few instances of a disposition to "jaw back,' on the part of somo of tho audience, nm a few nu pleasant expletives were hurler . vocally at those of the speakers who pro voked them. Wo do not commend this course, and suggest that there bo nc more of it hereafter. [ Green ville Mountaineer. HAIL-STORM.-On last Thursday, c severe hail-storm passed through a con? siderable section of this County, nbou ten miles North-east of this place. Wc are informed hy a citizen who resides al tho Cauble Plantation, that tho hui covered tho ground several inches much of it was ns large ns a partridge egg. It was destructive to garden vege tables, very injin ions to young fruit ot tho trees. Most of tho wheat was nol sufficiently advanced in growth to bc very badly hurt. Tho width of tho hail? storm was about a half mile. Y Green r ?Ile En 1er pr i ne.

A New York judge committed a cross eyed woman for contempt of court, be causo she didn't look nt him when told to, POLLOCK'S.-Meals furnished at al hours. ' Now that there is a probability of the Arcade Railway bill receiving the Signa? tare of the Governor, a-statement of the plan of operations whick will bo follow? ed in the construction of the road, can? not fail to be interesting to the reader. One of the principal questions asked in connection with tue building of tho rail? way, ie, "Will the construction of the work necessarily involve an absolute ob? struction of the street travel on Broad? way, or on any ono of its blocks, or cut off convenient communication, not only with its side-walks, but with the street proper?" Tho incorporalors named in tho Act, as pnBsed by tho Legislature, fully considered this question, well knowing that tho Legislature would not grant a franchise for uny railway which, during its construction, would necessi? tate tho suspension of street travel. Sci? entific eugineers were consulted on the subject, and a plan was finally agreed upon, which, it is believed, will work successfully in every respect. Tho work will bo commenced by plac? ing along the lino of tho road wny two bridges of iron of about 300 feet in length, and each eighteen feet wide in the clear, and along the lino of side? walks, corresponding bridges, each twelve feet wide. The floor of tbe.se bridges will bo elevated four feet above the grade of the street, and the difference in eleva? tion overcome by a gentle ascent at each end. These trusses are skeleton frames, and will form but slight obstruction to tbo view, and will permit pedestrians to cross the streets at all places. These panels aro mado separate and bolted to? gether, and may be taken down from one end and added to tho other with great facility. Although this bridge has been stated as 300 feet in length, it will be supporteel at points generally 100 feet apart. Convenient access will bo given from tho foot-walks to each building, during the progress of construction. All of tho operations will ba performed be neuth these bridges. The street will not bo used either in the removal of the ex? cavations, or in bringing materials re? quired ill constructing the road. The Arcade, so far as completed, will bo used for these purposes, and will afford abun? dant store-room for nil the uses of tbe workmen. The openings of working places may be increased to an extent which would enable the pection between Bowling Greeu and Canal street to be completed in ono year, and, if eleemed elesirable, similar sections above Canal street could, ic is claimed, bo completed during the same time. Working gangs have been organized so that tbe operations eau be carried systematically and simultaneous? ly, so that the work may bo prosecuted, without involving any extra expense, at an average rato of a lineal yard per day. Tbe time during which tbo street in front of an ordinary building of twenty four feet front would be occupied by the bridge and workmen will, it is estimated, not exceed ono month, a ti el duriug that time such building woulel have free ac? cess, not to the side-wulk britlgo alone, but also to a way upon which ordinary carriages and drays could reach it. The excavation aud removal of mate? rials between the buildings will require i more time than any of tho subsequent ' operations. It is proposed that this part of the work will be performed by three gangs of weirkmen. The excavation made by them will be deposited in tho already completed arcade. Tho paving stones, dogging, und other portions of the mu I terial excavated, which will be useful in the reconstruction of the work, will be placed on thu sides, and tho surplus and waste material will be pluced along the i middle of the completed portion of the ; work, whence it will bo removeel at > leisure by a temporary railway to the I river, there to to bo discharged into . ligbteis aud carried away. After the 1 completion of the excavations of auy section, a gang of masons will follow and placo in the masonry to support tho ' columns, and another gang will construct the new sowers, vaults and sub-cbambers, ' which tho owners of the adjacent pro ? porty will require. As soon as tho maBoury foundations t are completed, the iron columns will be ? erected by means of traveling tlerricks placed on tho top of the street bridges before elescribed, which bridges have s been so arranged as to give a space of two > feet over each row of columns through which will bo droppeel tho falls from ' these derricks, by means of which tho columns will be raised to their position, I and, when secured nt the bottom, tbe 1 longit idiual girdles will also be placed ? anti bolted to tbe columns. These der i ricks, placed on top of the bridges, will > not iuterfere in any way willi tho travel or with tho adjacent buildings, nor will the operations of the work below the bridge. Tho cross girelers will be raised ? from below by these derricks, and swung ? around to position from below by a sim t plo contrivance, and when bolted will '? be ready for the next operation of turo* t ing tho smull brick arches between I them, which, with the girders, will ftirin J what is ordinarily called u fire- proof floor. 5 Tho masons will bo followetl by work . men who will lay tho concrete which is i to form tho base of tho roadway. Tho t wooden flooring will then be laid in l asphalt and covered with sand, after ? which tho work will bo promptly per? formed by laying thc completed pave? ment which tho city authorities shall , designate, and niuo tho side-walks and proper communications and connections , with tho buildings. Wbero the main street bridges cross tho cross-streets, connecting bridges will bo extended from tho street and side-walk bridges, so that j no interruption and hardly any incon I venienco will bo incurred by tho travel , crossing Broadway. Tho operations will , bo carried on almost without tho know? ledge of persons passing over tho street, or even tho occupants of adjacent build ? ings. Tho various gangs of workmen will ho ? so organized that euch gang will follow I tho preceding ones as rapidly as tho lat? ter shall complete their respectivo por tiona of the work, anet, in ordinary cases, [ within twenty days from tbs time tbat temporary bridges are placed in front of any ordinary-sized building it will be re? moved, and leave in front of it a ' com? pleted ; roadway and side-walks on .the 1 sanie grade as the original one, and also 1 the sab-roadway or arcade below. The i sowers, water, and gas-pipes will be all , ?ow, and the old ones will bo .supported ia their present position until it shull be 1 found convenient or uecessnry to con- ] ueet the now ones with tho old. |.iVeu> York World EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.-Tho Episco? pal Convention met hero on yesterday. The attendance, clerical and lay, was not aa largo as at tba previous Hessian here in 1861, but tho body organized with full quorums present of both orders, Bishop Davis presiding. An able and impressive sermon was preached before the Convention by tho Kev. J. D. McCullough, tho Secretary. Mr. McCul? lough was unanimously re-elected Secre? tary, and appointed ltev. W. P.

In several localities hail, in large quantities, accompanied tho rain, doing the crops and gardens serious damage. It might bo collected in largo quantities for several days, and ou Suuday following had not disappeared. Along the Newberry road, three miles from this place, and on the Union road, about the same distunco, the fury of tho storm was most intense. lu these localities tho ground wus entire? ly covered with tho green leaves beaten from the trees. On the Saturday following, in places where the water bad washed the stones, wheels of buggies immersed to tho nxle in the ico. Cotton was so badly injured as to require replanting. Gardens were totally demolished. Tho "olde?t inhab? itant" despairs of witnessing tho like again, and remembers no parallel in the past.-Latirc7isville Herald. SUPERSTITIOUS FEARS.-Some men, when invited to roll up their sleeves to help emancipate tho whito men of this State, talk as if they thought the radical party was an immortal existence-a sort of relentless earthly Providence which it wero useless, and nlmost sacrilegious to resist. But the radical party (says the Mobile Register) is a thing nf flesh and blood, liable to all tho decay and ills of mortality, including death itself. It is to-day, und has always been in a minoti ty of the truo Hovereigus of the land. It can be annihilated whenever the peo? ple of the United States who arc op? posed to its principles and its acts are brought to unite against it. It is a mor? tal and not a spirit that tho friends of free government have to fight. And it is a mortal, moreover, rotteu with crimo and corruption, and it will fall whenever it is vigorously and bravely attacked. It will bo attacked.-Edy "field Advertiser. PERHAPS.-Commenting upon the aversion of the medical fraternity to recognize negro equality in scieuce, tho Philadelphia Aye says: "It was easy to thrust negroes into the Southern Legislatures and a negro into tho Senate of the United State long be? fore tho fifteenth amendment gave them oveu a pretence of a claim to bold office. That was done by the military power at the South. But tho radicals have now to do with tho Northern people who aro not yet uuder tho rule of tho bayonet, or tho negro, and do not intend to bc!" CALIFORNIA.-Tho Golden Stato shows sigus of retrogression. At tho Presi? dential election iu 1856 it polled a total vote of 110,221, which, at tho memora? ble election of 18G0, went np to 118,840, but fell iu 1861 to 105,075, and in 18?8 recovered only to 108,050; thus showing that the voting population was less at the last Presidential election than it was in 1856, over a half score jears before. In 1862 tho yield of the State was 332,000,000; in 1865 it was $28,500,001), and now but 823,000,000; thus evidenc? ing a decline of twenty-eight percent, in eight years. Tho New York Tribune takes it for granted that Mr. B. F. Whittemore, lately expelled from Congress, or threat? ened with expulsion, for selling West Point cadetships, will be returned by his constituents, and adds: "But is it not a question whether ho should ho admitted? Ought not Mr. Whittemore to address that query to himself, und will not tho IIouso give it its attention and thought?" FATAL ACCIDENT.-Wo regret to leam that Mr. Luke D.
