COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, June 9, 1870. Political. We havo received reports of public meetingsNewberry, Spartanburg and Darlington-upon which occasions dole gates were appointed to tho June Con? vention-white and colored. We ob? serve that good and true men are em? barked in the movement. Sumter had no meeting. i ? ? ? PUBLIO MEETING IN FAIRFIELD.-We learn from tho News that a meeting was held at the Court House, on Monday last. The object was to appoint dele? gates to the June Convention, or, as Mr. W. B. Bob or ts on said on the occasion, to seoure an honest administration of the State Government and to save tho State from the financial ruin imminent, It was stated that the dolegatcs would be untrammeled in their action. Tho Xe ir s ?ays: Col. Bi on addressed tho meeting, re? commending that those who opposed tho present dishonest administration, should aot in future as a balance of power, not nominate candidates of their own, bnt should, in all cases of division among our opponents, take the least of two evils, that is, the candidate who may bo the more honest of the two. Col. Davis moved that when this meet? ing adjourn, that the citizens of Fairfield meet on the first Monday in July, to re? ceive the report of the delegates. The delegates nominated by tho Com? mittee, were J. B. McCants, Col. David Provinoe, Thomas Jordnn, Abram F. Lumpkin, Alfred Mooro, Dr. Samuel Anderson, Johu O. Crosby and Sandy Ford, who wero confirmed by the meet? ing. By motion of Col. Rion, tho chairman of the delegates was instructed to defray nil necessary expenses of tho eutiro dele? gation, the amount of which would bc . refunded to him by the meeting. Policy lind Principle. As tho Charleston News has requested a definition of certain principles laid down by the Constitutionalist, we shall briefly respond. Wo bclievo that, ac? cording to Democratic principle, tho people of each State should bo left to manage their own matters ns they please, without any interference from outsiders. Now, what tho Constitutionalist has said on the subject of South Carolina politics, was not from a desire to interfere with their internal policy. It referred alone to the action of the peoplo of that Stnto upon public principles-great constitu? tional prinoiple3 which affect nil tho States. The Constitutionalist hos no ob? jection to the peoplo of South Carolina, or the D?mocratie party of that State, organizing upon a platform giving to all races and colors perfect equality, if they choose. It is their right to do It, if they think proper. But the Constitutionalist does urge upon all true friends of con? stitutional liberty iu that State not to adopt such a course because of the so called constitutional amendment*. They should denounce these amendments as nothing but gross usurpatious, invalid and void, just as Mr. Jefferson de? nounced tho Alien aud Sedition Laws in 1798; just as Kentucky and Virginia de? nounced them, and rallied the whole eountry to drivo from power the usurpers who had passed them. If Jefferson nnd his compatriots of that day had received these bold usurpations ns "fixed facts," our liberties would havo perished long - ago. All that thc Constitutionalist insists upon is that tho true men of thc country, North and South, shall never surrender, of their own volition, tho right to regu? late suffrage and ollico as they please, and as they think best for their respec? tive States; and never receive ns "Jived facts'" the usurpatious of Congress upon these subjects. If tho peoplo of South Carolina think it best for tho interests of their State to adopt the programme sug? gested by the News, let them do it. It is their right to do it. Bid it is not their right lo lend (heir influence and throw (ha weight of (heir power in sustaining these usurpations by holding thal they ari: valid. Bather should they hold them up lo infamy, aud politically ally therr>?olves with that party throughout tue country which does so denounce them. We proposo to make ri manly light, whether tho more thiug called "present success" attends our effort or not. It is better to bo a martyr in the right thuu a victor in tho wrong. But even upon the miserable principio of eui bono, this is the host. Tho motive with most trim? mers nnd time-servers in politics-we speak impersonally-is a distinction or fame which they foolishly suppose money and office will secure. Thia delusion impels hundreds and thousands in their departure from what they know to be the truo course. Tho truth is, nil real distinction, all .substantial fame must rest upon principle. Money nany give posi? tion and notoriety, but, wlieu achieved by tho betrayal of principle, those are worthless and uncomfortable boons. All trimmers in politics, even when success? ful and with brilliant genius to back them, hold a contemptible place in tho just estimation of the world. This is tho best that can bo said of the most prosperous of them. But tho great ma? jority utterly fail in their baseness and como to nn cud ns ignominious ns that of their prototype. So, ovou upon the eui bono principle, honesty is thc best policy, if weary, disheartened, desperate p.nd misguided peoplo could only com? prehend it.-Augusta Constitutionalist. DIED OF NEGLECT.-Tho jury empa? nelled to hold au inquest on tho body of Nat. Cummins, a colored boy, who died suddenly nt M. Clarke's farm, about sovon miles from Charleston, found that tho deceased had como to his death from noglect and lack of medical attendance. Proceedings of Council.

C., June 7, 1S70. 7b Hon. John Alexander, Mayor of thc city of Columbia. Sin: At the request of Mr. Hamberg, I personally inspected a lot in the city, claimed by him as his property, formerly belonging to the estate of John J. Kins ler, deceased, containing three and-a half acres, bounded on tho North by Gervais street, commonly called Bridge street; ou tho South by Senate street; on the East by Wayne street, and on the West by Pulaski street, which, however, at this time, at that point, seems to be appropriated as private property. Dia? gonally through this lot, a road leading to tho ferry hos been since tho burning of tho bridge, which injures tho proper? ty very materially. Mr. Hamberg, there? fore, desires to enolose his lot and thereby protect his property and his title to it, but thought it best to signify his inten? tion to tho City Council before he fenc? ed it As tho city sets up no claim whatever to the lot, I undertook to say to bim that it would not do or say anything on the subject, leaving him to act as ho chose, lt is for your honorable body, however, to pursue any course which may be thought expedient. If Mr. Ham berg fences in his lot, then it. will be in? cumbent on the city to do some little work on the street which intersects with Gervais street, just below his lot, iu order to make access to tho ferry easy. 1 have the honor tobo, very respectful Iv, yours, (Signed) JAMES D.

Alderman Wallace said that bis uttct tion had been called to the fact that sui terfuges had been resorted to by eertai merchants, in order to evade tho ord nance, by representing that they weig cotton only for tba satisfaction of tl) seller, in order to make advances, au that settlement is made upon return ( proper weights from Charleston. H deemed this a violation ol* the ordiuanci and if thoy aro violating the law, thc should be punished. He thought tl: question should bo settled, and hope that any parly found weighing cotlu limier such circumstances should, ti gather with his clerk and the seller, 1 brought before his Honor the Mayor, am under oath, give a satisfactory explain lion. Ho said ho knew that some partit had boasted that thej' intended to dodj the law in tho manner alluded to. Alderman Taylor said he fully endorse all that bad boen said by Alderman Wu lace, and he would go further, and sa; that aa soou ns tho cotton buyer weight cotton here, even though for tho sati faction of the seller, he became litibl under tho ordiunnco, aud the ordiunui should bo strictly enforced. His Honor tho Mayor said a few casi ol' tho character alluded to bad bet brought to his notice, und he hoja Council would fully discuss tho subjoc and act upon it. Alderman Wigg hoped a case would 1 made as soon as possible. Let theMttyi line to the extent prescribed in tho ort' nance, and as tho Circuit Court is in so sion, tho matter could be tried and de nitoly settled. Ile would suggest, if tl regularly elected cotton weighers a kept o it of their fees by this eombin lion of merchants, that they be paid salary. Alderman Denny said he could n agree with tho suggestion of Aldermi Wigg, as it would bo precisely what tl cotton buyers desire. The question being taken on tho m tion to indefinitely postpono tho consi eration of the petition, it was agreed t Alderman Thompson introduced t following resolution, which was adopt unanimously: Resolved, That the Mayor be instruct to strictly enforce the ordinance relati to tho weighing of cotton, and that t same bo published. The unfinished business being the consideration of the report of the com? mittee on tho salary of tbe Mayor, tho same was considered.
