Political Capital at lu? Expense olia.
, dnslPIal Capital.
The Charleston Republican is seeking
to make ?11 .tho capital it can ont o? ?orne
remarks attributed to Col. T>.' Wyatt
Aiken, in tho Charleston Agricultural
and Immigration Convention. The ef?
fort ?B nov? making to improve South
Carolina by tho introduction in our
midst of a good and intelligent class of
settler* fiona the tfortk.and Europe. So
far aa Col. Aiken's remarks are con?
cerned, he Bpeoks* for himself. Bnt if
tho Republican desires it understood that
a cordial "welcome,does not await tho im
migrant here,, tuen does il misrepresent
thu sentiments of our people. Tho im?
migrant who comes hore will stand upon
his merits, and those merits will secure
for him the same r?cognition in South
Carolina aa elsewhere. This was tho sen?
timent, of the convention. But why pa?
rado the remarks of a delegate, and make
political capital out of them? What
gqod'to South Carolina does this eilect?
Tkt? Republican affects to desire i in mi
granta to aottlo in this State. But does
its-course not show that this is a mero
pretense and a sham? Does its course
not show that it is ready to sao ri fleo the
indus tr i al interest? of tho State to ac
ootriphoh small party purposes? Tbe Re?
publican vre presumo, does not really de?
si ro tho introduction of while settlers in
the State! It prefers the political and
the financial passenger. It prefers that
the soil of South Carolina be kept open
to the inroads and ravages of the rob?
bers and pilferers, who improperly ma?
nipulate the bonds and stocks of the
Sute,-and put their hands deep down
into the treasury. It would have South
Carolina to continue one vast PRESERVE
for the would-be lordly masters of the
State's finances.
As to this Convention matter, which
the Republican rolls like a sweet morse!
under its busy tongao, its course hat
been most unfair. It brings out mosl
prominently one adverse feature of Col,
Aiken's remarks, but it has little to sa;
about-the generous, hearty, liberal anc
broads views-that the Convention ap
proved "and applauded. . Let the STATI
perish, but let THE PARTY live-this seemi
the creed of "the organ." To us, it oe
curs, that a better sentiment is, to le
PARTIES perish and OFFICE SEEKERS ant
OFFICE-HOLDERS perish willi them, pro
vided the STATE shall live. Thus, a
least, the "rank and file" think-thus
at least, the PEOPLE reason.
The St. Domingo negroes, we are sorr
to see, are growing "riled." We havi
the New York Tribune's authority for tin
threat of "a general revolution," ex
peoted there, "unless the United State
interfere and ratify the treaty." Tbi
will no doubt provea terrible eventualis
for Northern radicals to contemplate; bu
down here it will be regarded much mor
placidly. We are not aware of any mis
fortune we could bear with more Chris
tian resignation than a revolution in St
Domingo, or any other locality, fa
enough away from onr country. Beside
this, we could find considerable consola
tion in the fact that the longer it last
and the more vigorous it is carried on
the fewer Dominicans there will bo lei
to annex, when Gen. Qraut succeeds i
lobbying tho bill through Congress. Th
only ourions thing about it is that th
St. Domingo negroes should be such al
surd fools as to go to fighting with euc!
other because the United States decline
their sooiety-as clear a case of bitin,
off the nose to spite the faco as ever cam
under international observation. If tho
will do it, however, and Greeley assure
us of that fact, all we have to say to thei
is: "Go it! Pitch in! and may tho bes
man win." We can certainly stnnd it o
long as they can.
FOR CONGRESS.-Mivjor J. E. Bacot
of Edgefield, having been nominated ft
Congress from this Congressional D??
trict, has accepted tho nomination. I
his card, Major Bacon, roferriug to hi
political views, says:
"I cannot better express them in gc
neral than by a reference toaud endorst
ment of tho resolutions of tho lato pre?
convention in Columbia. The consutr
- mation devoutly to bo wished is tb
hearty co-operation of a'l classes of tb
community, regardless of color or prev
ous condition, in order to ruliovo th
people from the onerous burden of taxi
tion so recklessly nud cumulatively cat
upon them; to inaugurate an econom?a
reform of the fiuanoes, and to expos
and denounce the corruption now rio
ing and fattening in high places."

The Blue Bidgo Railroad bond case
was opened y os tord ay, but al the request
of Judge Melton* tho:-'argument was
postponed until to-day. The following
is an abstract fr?m tt?* st?nographie mi?
nutes of the Clerk of the Senate, on the
diBoassion of the bill proposing the en?
dorsement of the State upon the bonds
of the Greenville nud Columbia Railroad
Company, at the regular session of thc
Legislature, in 1868-'9, the Senate hav?
ing under consideration the veto of his
Excellency tho Governor. Hon. D. T.
Corbin, Chairman of the Judiciary Com?
mittee of the Senate, after a lengthy
discussion upon tho impolicy of the en?
dorsement, said:
Last but not least in this discussion, I
earnestly invito.the attention of tho Se?
rn? to to the Constitution recently adopted
by tho State, and which we have all so?
lemnly sworn to support. In my judg?
ment, it prohibits the Legislature from
endorsing the bonds of any railroad
company. Tho seventh Section of Arti?
cle IX is as follows: "For the purpose of
defraying extraordinary expenses, the
State may contract publio debts; but
euch debts shall be authorized by law for
some single object to be distinctly speci?
fied therein, and uo such law shall take
effect until it shall have been passed by
a vote of two-thirds of the members of
each branch of tho General Assembly,
to ho recorded by yeas and nays on tho
journals of each House, respectively,
and every such law shall levy n tax, an?
nually, to pay the annual interest ou
such debt."
The tenth Section of the same Article
recites, that "No scrip, certificate, or
other evidence of State indebtedness,
shall be issued, except for the redemp?
tion of stock, bonds, or other evidences
of indebtedness, previously issued, or
for such debts as are expressly authorized
in this Constitution."
The fourteenth Section provides that
"Any debt contracted by the State shall
bo by loans on State bonds, of amounts
not less than fifty dollars caoh, ou inte?
rest, payable within twenty years after
the final passage of the law authorizing
Huoh debt."
A correct registry of all such bondB
was to be kept by the Treasurer in nu?
merical order, so as always to exhibit the
number and amount unpaid." aud to
whom severally made payable.
These three sections, in my judgment,
restrict the State as to the purposes and
manner of contracting debts. The pur?
poses are, first, "To defray extraordi?
nary expenditures;" second, "for the re?
demption of stock, bonds or other evi?
dences of indebtedness previously
issued;" or third, "for such debts us are
expressly authorized in this constitu?
tion." The manner is "by loan ou State
bonds, of amounts not less than $50,
each on interest payable within twenty
years after the final passage of the law
authorizing such debt."
It must be understood that the pur?
poses and manner for which, and by
which, State indebtedness is created,
must all unite iu each and every case.
I ask, if this be true, and it is but the
simple direct language of tho constitu?
tion, how can a liability be increased by
the State, by aa endorsement of the
bonds of a railroad or any other com?
pany? Certainly it canuot ho said that
this is HU issue of State bouds, aud it
canuot be said to bo au extraordinary
expendituro of the State, because the
State spends nothing. It canuot be said
to be a luau upou State bonds, because
the State borrows nothing. Hence, I
insist, that neither in mader nor manner,
shape or form, is there any compliance
with the terms of the constitution, by
which responsibility is increased by the
State.
But I seo aronud nie a disposition to
pass this bill. I feel that what I am
saying falls powerless upon the ears of
the Senate, aud that this bill will be
passed. But I have felt it my duty, us n
Senator upon this floor, to lift my voice
of warning, of protest and of entreaty,
against the policy of this bill, aud
against the constitutionality of it. I
shall vote against it and leave to pos?
terity to judge who of us is right.

PATRIOTICALLY SAID.-The Anderson
Intelligencer, referring to a remark of ours
that wo could not appreciate tho wisdom
of its suggestion to waive opposition to
the radical nominee for Governor, re?
affirms its views, but snj's in conclusion :
"But the PHOSIX declares that it never
eau and never shall give its assent to tho
programme suggested by this journal.
Wo beg lenvo to say, in this connection,
that our views nro offered in advance of
a State Convention, and should such a
body, reflecting fairly tho wishes nnd
opinions of tho majority of our political
associates, determine to nominate a State
ticket, wo shall bow submissively to its
behest."
Tho mniu reason given by the Intelli
?/encer to recedo from an issue on tho
?tate ticket is embraced iu this extract.
That journal says :
"The colored vote is strongly iu favor
if the prospective radical uomiuee, un
lerstood to bu Gov. Scott. Aud while
yo would not let him walk .uncbnlleug
id over tho field,' if wo could see u pro?
bability of defeating him, yet we are
sonvinced that every effort should bo
nade to put good and true men in the
Legislature, and that this can best be ac?
complished by concentrating tho fight
.ipou men of local reputition rather thau
iggrogating the contest for the Executive
Department. The latter is bouiid io
overshadow and give color to tho contest
in every County, aud wo are not hopeful
)f tho result. Henoe, we have express
id our views candidly, if not with the
prudence and circumspection of others."

Tho Charleston Neva publishes a let?
ter irom Gol. Aiken, wheroln ho doelarea
that if bis remarks in tho Agricultural
and Immigration Convention have given
offence, it io because they were miscon
0 trued. TVc feel sure that Col. Aiken's
views have been misunderstood. Gol.
A. is a working man himself, and we are
satisfied that no one appreciates more |
felly than he the claims and the dignity
of honest toil and manly work, in whom?
soever illustrated. He is a man earnestly |
and busily encaged in the work of in?
dustrial development, and whatever ho
may have said iu tho heat of discussion,
he shows his faith by his works. In his
letter be says:
"Mr. Editor, I cherish individual re?
spect, but have neverstooped to court it.
1 have not 'crooked the pregnant hinges
of the knee that thrift might follow
fawniDg.' I esteem tho regard of a
community, and have never wilfully
given offence. If I have done so in this
instance, it is because I have been mis?
understood, and therefore I feel no mor?
tification for what I have said.
"What speaker before the Convention
claimed that 'all the sense and all the
cultivation of tho universe was confined
to South Carolina?' Who said we could
not learn much from the Gorman, the
Irishman or the Englishmau? Certainly
I did not; for among the adopted citi?
zens of this State, 1 have tho honor to
number many warm personal friends.
And ono of tho staunchest friends I have
is a Northern man, who is now my neigli
bor."

as well as faith, und is building granaries

First Love.
It io one of tb o oddest points of dif?
ieren ce bo tween mau abd woman tb nt
woman bas no fi ra t Io YO. Tho long ni pha -
bet of her affections is without any dis?
tinct end or^begipning; jabe monote by
insensible gradations from dolls and
kittens and net brothers to the zenith of
Eassion, to Ascend by the same insensi
Ie gradations from tho zenith of passion
through pet brothers to tabby cats.
Thero is no such event as a first kiss
forms in a boy's life to mark for womnu
the transition from girlhood to the sud?
den maturity of passion; abe has been
kissing, and purring, and fondling, and
petliug from Uer cradle, and she will pet,
uDd fondle, and purr, aud kiss to her
grave. Love, in tho technical sense of
the word, is with her little more than an
intensifying of ber ordinary life. There
is no new pictnre, but tho colors are for
the while a little heightened and the
tone raised. . Presently tho vividness of
color will fado again, aud tho cool grays
lower the tone, and tho passion of lifo
will have died away. But thero will be
no definite moment nt which one could
fairly say that love came or went. A
girl who is not whispering in a lover's
ear, will always say frankly enough that
she never knew what it was not to be in
love. There is one obvious deduction
which she forgets to draw, that there
never can bo a timo when she can know
what it is to be in love. Here and there,
of course, a woman may bo colder, or
hitor iu development, or moro self con?
scious, and may divide by more rigidly
marked lines Ibo phases of her life. But
even thou, if she be a woman nt all, she
can have uo first love. Feeliug, with
woman, has no past, os it has no futuro.
Every phase of ber life begins with an
act of oblivion. Every love is a lirst
love. "I never loved any one before,"
is said, aud said truly, to a dozen loving
ears in succession. "Tho first thing I
should like to meet with in Paradise,"
said Lady Wortley Moutngu, "would be
the river Lethe, the stream of Forgetful?
ness." But woman finds a little rivulet
of Lethe at every stage of her heart's
career. If she remembers the past at
all, it is to offer it up as a burnt sacrifice
to the deity of the present. When
Cleopatra talked about Crosar to Mark
Antony, abo passed, no doubt, her fingers
through her lover's bair and wondered
how she could have ever doted on such
a bald-pated fellow ns tho Dictator. Had
she succeeded in charming Octavius, she
would have wondered equally at her in?
fatuation for such a ne'er-do-well as
Autouy. Aud so it is no wouder that a
woman's first love, even if she realizes it
at all, goes down in this general wreck of
the past. Hut in man's lifo it is a revo?
lution. It is in fact the one thing that
makes him man. Tho world of boyhood
is strictly ii world of boys. Sisters,
cousins, aunts, mothers, aro mixed up in
the generul crowd of barbarians that
stand without the play-ground. There
are few warmer or more poetic affections
thru the chivalrous friendship of school?
fellows; thero is no truer or more genu?
ine worship than a boy's worship of the
hero of the scrimmage or the cricket
field. It is a fine world in itself, but it
is a wonderfully narrow and restricted
world. Not a girl may peep over the
palings. Girls can't jump, or fag out,
or swarm up a tree; they have nothing
to talk about as boys talk; they never
heard of that glorious swipe of Old
Brown's, they are awful milk-sops, they
cry and "tell mamma." they are afraid of
a governess, and of a cow. It is impos?
sible to couceivo a creature more utterly
contemptible in a boy's eyes than a girl
of his owu age usually is. Then in some
fatal moment comes tho revolution. The
barrier of contempt goes down with a
crash. The boy-world disappears.
Brown, that god of the play-ground, is
cast to tho owls and to the bats. There
is ti Budden coolness in tho friendship
that was to last from school to the grave.
Paper-chases aud the annual match with
tho "old fellows" cease to bo the highest
objects of human interest. There is less
excitement than there wau last year when
a great cheer welcomes the news that
Mugby has got the Ireland. The boy's
lifo bas become muddled and confused.
The old existence is sheering off, and the
new comes shyly, fitfully. It is ouly by
a sort of compulsion that he will owu
that be is making all this "fuss" about a
girl. For tho moment he rebels against
the spell of that ono little face, the
witchery of that ono little hand. Ho
lingers on tho border of this new country
from whence thero is no return to the
old playing-fields. Ho is shy, strange to
this world of woman, and wotnau's talk
and woman's ways. Tho surest, steadi?
est foot on tho cricket ground tumbles
over foot-stools, aud tangles itself in
colored wools. Tho sturdiest arm that
ever wielded bat trembles at the touch of
tho tiny finger. The voice that rang
out like n trumpet among tho tumult of
foot-ball hushes aud trembles and falters
in saying half a dozen commonplace
words. The old sense of mastery is
gone. Ho knows that every chit in the
nursery has found out his secret, and is
laughing over it. Ile blushes, and a
boy's blush is a hot, painful thing, when
tho sisterly heads bend together and bo
hears them whispering what a fool be ia.
Yes, ho is a fool-that?8 one thing which
ho feels quito certain about. Thero is
only ono other thing which he feels ev? n
moro certain about-that he is in love,
and that love has made him a man.

THH TEACHERS* OoMVBNTTION.-Th?
convention of teachers ' of this State,
called some time since, assombled last
evening, in Niokerson'a Hall. It is in
the power of this convention to accom?
plish much good in its sphere of thought
and action. At all times, ?ducation is a
subject of prime importance. At this,
time, more than ever, does it,deserve
consideration. We need the graces and
amenities of literature, because they ele?
vate aud reform the mind. But mor?
than these clements, we need now that
sort of education and training which
nindi go to prepare tho rising generation
for tho principal work before us. Wfa^t
maj be called the homely branches
they should be developed. We urgently
want that information which can be ap?
plied to agriculture, commerce, mining,
manufactures, and industrial pursuits in
j geucral. Aud it occurs to us that edu?
cation, in its elementary features, should
? look to these points. There are other
points of importance whioh will doubt?
less attract tho attcution of the conven?
tion. Full proceedings of the meeting
last night will be giveu in our noxt.
CRUMBS.-Tho body of Mr. John L.
Humphreys will arrive this afternoon,
instead of yesterday, as stated in ourlast
issue.
