Tfe? ?/n?e of tlie Jane Convontlon-Oiir
Policy.
Tho greatpurpose,^ we understand,
it, of the Juno Convection, is to promul?
gate,io an authoritative ^ay, tho liberal
basia upon, which wo proposo to engage,
ia the work of political- reform, and
secondly, to bring together in effective
combin atioa tho elements of opposition
to tho ruling faction. This is an impor?
tant work. There is-at present in Booth
Carolina but little difference of opinion
as to the necessity of a free and frank
recognition ou our part of tho fifteenth
amendment to the Federal Constitution.
Bockert?, no dbufet, wo have. Irrccon
diablea, nb. doijbt> they ore.' But the
great rarwof tho whites of tho State aro
not' deposed to neglect ti??, real and
attainable iui tho effort to reach the sen?
timental and the impossible.
l^/??&[?e^.Oo?^?lJoa?Vtp give itsolf
power, must, therefore, re-affirm the
liberal sentiments oinbr?ced in the re?
solutions o? tho press conference, tts
second object, \t occurs to us, should be
to crys?alize, in organization, the ele?
ments that are ready tb'on ito ia the work
of Teform. ' As a; i?e?tts to this end, we
preSuttYo an executive committee will be
appointed, and a lin?-of action laid down.
Of 'jBpnwev W?i[question"will come up as
to i^flwV ti?rket. S $hia question the
convention will: i wiser/ determine for
itself.' . It will determino tho time, the
character, tho question of tho nomi?
nation. It will do what is deemed best
for tho publie cause that it has at heart.
After organizing tho forces at its com?
mand, tho Convention will hold its power
for future contingencies, or it will con?
centrate it at onoo promptly and earnest?
ly upon a given point. Weare not dis?
posed to anticipate the course of this
Convention: Let it be a full Convention
of the people of the State that favor
tho causo of industrial and political ac?
tivity, and that believe in the efficiency
of A?fnbk. We are aware of the fact
that some of our associates in political
sympathy deprecate a general canvass for
the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor?
ship. . They seem to hold that the po?
litical body that we oppose should be
left to disintegrate. But some they are
who cv o not disposed to wait for this slow
process, and who have little faith in
* 'masterly inactivity.1 !
For ourselves-for the "do nothing"
policy, we wpnld Substitute the ' *do some?
thing*^ pplicy* For "masterly inac?
tivity" we would substitute a "devouring
aotivity"-just such an aotivity as the
Imperial Government recommended to
the French people when the plebiscite was
submitted to the popular vote.
It may be well for each County to adopt
just auch a line, of policy as shall result
in.its best possible representation in the
Legislature. But as for the general
ticket, we deem it essential that wc
should go before the people and make
the issue with any one who shall be put
forth as the representative of the ruling
regime. Let the darts of truth bo sent
here and there. Let the lightnings of
popular indignation flash about tho eyes,
and let the thunders of popular condem?
nation be heard- about the ears of the
oorrupt crew that now walk the stage in
all the insolence of, guilty powor. This
will do the State good. It will purify
the air. It will sow the seeds of success
in tho future. We cannot be wrong.
We must bend our energies to our in?
dustrial programme. We must press our
IMMIGRATION and DIRECT TRADE scheme.
We must build our railroads, erect our
factories, and cultivate our crops. We
must extend our hearty welcome to the
honest settler from abroad. We must
cultivate peace and harmony and good
understanding between the honest of all
classes. But we must also mak*e a
prompt, spirited and effective effort
in the interests of POLITICAL KEFOIIM.
In our judgment it is with the weapon
of action-of lawful, fair, legitimate,
but spirited action-that we aro to cut
the Gordian knot of our complications.
Nor can we accomplish much in the lino,
of reform without organization and con?
cert of action. We are told that the
Democratic organization of this State
mast no longer be essayed. If those
who are responsible for this thought
. shall exercise as much efficiency in
building up, as they have shown in
striking down, we would soon be able to
congratulate the State upon a new
organization ready to enter upon tho
work of redeeming the fortunes of tho
commonwealth. Let the people in the
June Convention decide upon the can?
vass. This will suggest to us all the
path of duty, and bring good men of all
parties on a oommon ground, and put
them in a common line of action. We are
for moving in right lines, but as for the
method of reform, let ns adopt any and
all modes "justified by honor."

WAsantorw; D. C., May 18, 1870.
Tho thousands of maimed and disabled
soldiers; ?heir -irld?wfl, ^0rptfan?: and
friends, in fact, nlltho people o? thia nov?
happy ooplntry, biejira o? the pekoe and
prosperity porchased by tho aaariflc? and
wouDda of these heroes, cannot fail to be
interested in the debate which occurred
ia the House the other day npon the bill
submitted by the Committee on Invalid
Pensions, prescribing-(he manner of pay?
ing pensions, the same bill which was
brought forward bj the Committee last
December, but was laid over on account
of objections brought forward by Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio. He objected to the
whole system of paying pensiona, as cum?
brous, expensive, and nnjust to pension?
ers; the bill proposed, being bnt n very
slight improvement upon existing laws.
H? thought the present system should be
abolished with all its machinery and fees,
thus saving the Government annually
$260.000, and relieving the pensioners
of all the bardens of fees to agents,
making out vouchers, delays of corres?
pondence, ?fcc ; and advocated the paying
of the pension by the Assistant Assessors
or Collectors who are accessible to every
pensioner. He said "Pensioners are tho
only persons of whom the Government
exacts fees to get their dues." "In tho
name of justice, and for shame let us
abolish all fees and costs now exacted of
these pensioners."
In consequence of these objections,
the bill, when it re-appeared last week,
was slightly impro'yed. It proposed quar?
terly, instead of semi-annual payments
of pensions, and that the fee to the pen?
sion agent for preparing the vouchers
shall bo paid by the Government instead
of the pensioner. Bat, as Judge Law?
rence showed, the syBtom is cumbrous
and expensive to tho pensioner, besides
involving the Government in tho expen?
diture of $250,000 salary for tho agent,
and $200,000 more in fees; allowing them,
on an average, tho enormous salary of
$9,160, and still leaving the pensioner to
pay every year, 40 cents to local officers,
for verifying each . voucher, making an
annual aggregate of ?388,800,?which with
?ostage and other expenses, as Judge
lawrence estimated, will soon reach tho
sum of $500,000 annually. The bill in?
troduced by him some time Binen, he
atnted remedies that "by bringing to the
door of each pensioner an officer who
shall prepare the proper vouchers, ad?
minister tbe oath, deliver a check for the
amount of the pension, and all without
any expense to the pensioners."
Mr. Randall, of Peunsylvrnia, Mr.
Cobbs, of Illinois, General Butler and
others, urged the same objections to the
bill of tho committee, and proposed
plans for removing them. The plan of
Gen, Butler, advocated by bim, very
earnestly in a ten minutes' speech, was
similar to that of Judge Lawrence, only
it substituted the postmasters of the
country instead of the assessors, to act
as pension agents. Mr. Benjamin,
Chairman of the Committee on Invalid
Pensions, said that the adoption of
either of these plans would involve the
necessity for the appointment of 500
additional clerks in the Pension Office,
to which Mr. Lawrence repled, "uuy
body who says that, does not under?
stand his business." Gen. Butler said,
"anybody who says that, is not fit for bis
place."
The amendments were all rejected,
and the bill passed as reported by the
committee. It is to be boped that it may
be amended by the Senate in accordance
with some of the plans proposed in tho
House. At all events the pensioners and
their friends throughout the couutry
aud none will be willing to bo excluded
from this category-havo cause to bo
grateful for the efforts of Judge Law?
rence, Gen. Butler, Mr. Randall, and
others who endeavored so earnestly,
though for the present in vain, to secure
justioe to tho pensioner and economy for
the Government.
Unexpectedly, General Scbenck, the
Chairman of the Ways and Means Com?
mittee, and Mr. Dawes, Chairman on Ap?
propriation, got into a quarrel on Mon?
day over the question whether it was not
tbe duty of the former to postpone action
on the tari il" bill until after all the ap?
propriation bills shall have been passed.
The statemont of Mr. Dawes, that in six
weeks more unless immediate action be
taken on tho numerous appropriation
bills, eight in number, the administra?
tion of the Government would be with?
out funds, created quite a sensation on
the floor of tho House. One half of tho
members were on their feet and near the
con tomi ing speakers, Sohenck and Dawes.
Genl. Scheuck seemed obstinate and of?
fered a resolution that when tho House
again resolve itself into committee of tbe
whole on the tariff bill it shall be in the
power of tho majority to order debate to
close on any whole subject, or upon any
portion of tho bill. This was met with
strong opposition, and was lost, wbere
upou Mr. Schenck modified bis resolu?
tion, which .was adopted, allowing debate
to bo closed upon any ono section or sub?
ject of the bill. But later in tho day,
pending a motion to go into committee
of tbe whole on the naval appropriation,
Mr. Dawes moved that all speciul orders
be set aside and that the House proceed
with the appropriation bills until tbey
are disposed of. This course of Mr.
Dawes, surprised the whole House and
no one, more than the Chairman of Com?
mittee on Ways and Means, who consid?
ered it a gross breach of faith on the
part of Mr. Dawes. The Democrats
generally favored the motion of Mr.
Dawes.
Yesterday the naval appropriation bill
was resumed, and in its debate Mr.
Hale defended the Navy Department
against the charges of extravagance,
whereupon, Mr. Morgan, of Ohio, stated
that the pay of naval officers had been
illegally increased 88?^ percent., while
no more than one-half of the naval
officers were actually employed y and that
.tho creating Admiral and vice-Admiral
waa ' subversive of Kopubliean institu?
tions.
The question oa tho motion of Soim
tor Foifty, i??trike otifc in tho bill to en

question of .general amnesty, end a? ex?
citing debate ensued. It was soon de?
veloped that the Southern Senators
generally are as favorable to granting
general amnesty as they were universal
suffrage.
The friends of straggling Cuba are
again quite jubilant over the prospecta
that General Jordon, who is expected
here this week' 16 appear before the
House Committee of Foreign Affairs,
will awakeu a new interest in tho Cuban
question. It is understood that the
committee is not unfavorable to definite
action in the matter, but have been com?
pelled, for reasons only understood by
themselves, to delay action thus long.
Municipal politics of Washington City
are running high. In my last I stated
that we had three Republican candidates
for Mayor, and no Democratic. Ono of
those candidates, Major Richards, has
since withdrawn from the contest, leav?
ing now only two, Bowen and the anti
Bowen parties, the last uniting on Mr.
Emery, the wealthy stone cutter. Mr.
Bowen was originally from the North,
came hero with the late Hon. Wm. Li.
Marcy twenty years ago, and hos held
ever f since, either government or muni?
cipal offices, abd a part of the time both.
He was appointed postmaster of Wash?
ington by Mr. Liuoolu at a salary of
$1,0J0, and held it through till two years
since when he was elected our Mayor.
During his administration, the city,
although heavily involved before, has
become almost bankrupt. With one
fell stroke, it hus been shown on investi?
gation, that he added, in order to care
for his particular friends, $50,000 addi?
tional expenses annually to the corpora?
tion, in making new offices and increas?
ing the pay of the old ones. lu letting
out corporation contracts, he has often?
times, contrary to law, awarded to his
friends jobs, when they were the highest
instead of the lowest bidders; aud al?
lowed the work to bo improperly done
with full pay for tho same. He has
allowed money tb bo taken from an
almost exhausted treasury and advanced
to those favored contractors, while the
poor corporation laborers and Behool
teachers have been compelled to wait
mouths for money after it was due. On
investigation, it was shown that bo
knowingly allowed his Corporation At?
torney to tako $000 from a man to influ?
ence himself, the Mayor, to order his
account settled. Tho city to-day for
corruption in its municipal management
oclipses New York.
Through Senator Conkling, yesterday,

tearing down some buildings on property
purchased by tho city for wharf pur?

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.-At a meet?
ing of the cotton merchants of Colum?
bia, held yesterday, it was
Resolved, That owing to the incompe?
tency and inexp?rience of the cotton
weighers recently elected by the City
Council, hereafter, that cotton brought
to this city for sale will be weighed by
tho seller or buyer, as they may agree
between themselves.
It was further agreed that no charge
shall be made for weighing.
We are pleased to notice this deter?
mination on the part of our business
men to protect our country friends and
advance the interests of the city. Pub?
lic weighers have been a great conven?
ience to the merchants, but they now un?
dertake n laborious task themselves
rather than risk important interest to in?
competent men.

OPINION OF THE PRESS.-Wo tako pleasure in
calling tho attontion of our readers to a very
remarkable medicino, a notico of which ap?
pears in the Observer this morning-Hoinitah's
''QUEEN'S DELIGHT." Thero must be some?
thing in ib, for wo hear it spoken of as a pre
Baration of much merit, and ono propareu by
>r. Heiniteb himself, of distinguished phar?
maceutical reputation. Tho euphonious sou?
briquet, "QUEEN'S DELIOHT," bas in itself an
attraction which should commend it to om*
lady friends in need of so excellent a medi?
cine, and we suppose all would bo benefited
by its use. For salo by FISHER ic HEINITBH,
