Wednoslay Morning, June 7, 1871. TU? Olllo Uimucnicy-Xoiiiliiutlun?. Thu Detnopratio Convention that re? cently nssembled at Columbus, Ohio, was an influential body! Mr. George H. Pendleton was elected President. Upon taking tho ob air, Mr. Pendleton said: "GENTLEMEN OP THE CONVENTION: I thank yon for this honor you bavo done in solvating me to preside over your meeting to-day. I thank yon all tho more, because I see from the numbers which crowd this bal], from' the enthusi? asm which they, exhibit,1.from tho light of battle which sparkles in their eyes, that the spirit of Democracy-Is-alive, and that they have determined to inau? gurate to-day a movement which, in its results, will rescue the count ry from tho grdsp.?f the spoiler, and place it seourejy upon the firm foundation of constitu? tional liberty. I need not-'remind yon that as aotivity and vigor are the sword in action, so deliberation, and harmouy, and co-operation are the ' essential ele? ments of council. , X will not detain yon a minute lOuger, bnt ask yon to proceed with the business of the convention." G?nerai Morgan read the resolutions adopted, already given in these co! am us. Tho following waa the report of the mi? nority r . .. "Mr. Hurd, on behalf of himself and .Mr. Uni,, submitted a minority report, as follows: "The. minority of your committee having opposed ia consultation the pro? position recognizing the so-called four? teenth and fifteenth j amendments,., bp-, causo they are neither da faci? nor de Jur? Sarta of. the Constitution of..the.United tates, propose tb the convention a sub? stitute for the second and third resolu? tions. .While opposing any disturbance of the resulta which have been occa? sioned by or resulted from, tho war, we declaro that whatever lawB or provisions of the. Constitution have been estab? lished, viLIim b^ violence or frmad, ?re, ti pon tho principles of aommon honesty, ?oirj?~^?rhe minority of your committee, horror, deem it in exp od tout to make any expression of opinion ns t?tho four? teenth 'and fifteenth am on dm ont a, yet behoving that if an expression be n?o?s sary, jj?commoud -that the following be adopted aa a substitute for tho first and second^resolutions of the .committee's report: -2 " *fK??olced, That^he fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have been made ?tarts of the Fuderal.Ooustit utioh. by vio ence, and are rovoluliouury and void." The majority report was adopted by u, Toto of 365 to 129. i?] General George W. MoOook -was no 'minated for Governor and Mr. 8. F. Hunt for Lieutenant Governor. Gen. McCook served with distinction on the Fed?rul side in the late war, is nu able lawyer, and is said to bo a very popular Democrat,. He made un eloquent ad? dress upon his acoept?nee of the nomi? nation. In conclusion, ho said: "I am confident-in one thing-that you will ail agree with me that it was the settled purpose of the Democratic party.to declare before the people of the country that we intended no revolution? ary attack upon these amendments to the Constitution, either by individuals or by State legislation, or by the orgu? nizatiou of. States. T say it was due to the poople of the cooutry that that much we should have declared; but, ia my view of these amendments, no resolu? tions which 'could have been passed ou the subject would have declared, or oould have declared, more than that. My fellow-oitizoas, it is impossible in this heated air to speak further. I thank you again for the nomination you have conferred upon mo; I thank yon, I say again, for tue confidence which that no? mination implies. I . hope that during the canvass I will not abuse your trust, or betray your confidence, or do any? thing unworthy of the man who is fit tu be trusted with the standard of the De? mocratic party in tho year of 1871, tho forerunner of 1872, which is.to witness the triumph of Democratic principles, and whioh-i3 to witness the return of om Government to tho old ways of constitu? tional administration." '\ Th? candidato for the Lie'uteuant-Go vernorsbip spoke as follows: "Mn. PBESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN O? TH ii CONVENTION:! appreciate this ai the most distinguished compliment ol my life. To have been selected by 5(K Democratic representatives in conventiot assembled-representatives of 250,0Q( voters of the third commonwealth in th* Union--is a compliment which any mai might appreciate; but when it is bestow ed upon a young man, it is aoomplimen which I doubly appreciate. No man cai say that I have solicited this nomination Mo mau can say that I have desired thii nomination. On the other hand, whei my friends and my friend MoOook to lt me last night that I was to be a candi date, I obieoted to it, nor did I desire it nor do I desire to bo a candidate, and i the committee will seleot another oandi date I will decline it as a position I d< not want; yet in making these remark it is not because of any want of fealty t< the Demorado party. I have voted fo it, given my voice for it, and worked fo it from the beginning. I believe it prinoiples are and were right then. ! believe they are right now. Ibeliev? ita mission is to restore to ns the bles sings bf a good government. I believi it is the mission of that party to lift tin burdens of oppression which now weigl down the people of tho South. * I be lieve it is the mission of that party ti establish a tariff as closely approx! mat ing free trade aa possible. I believe i is tho mission of that party to make, ai it has done ia the past, ?H is agloriom and free government. Now, gentlemen in again thanking you, I do it from a heart swelling up with tho most exulted, with tho mont tender, with tho most ap preoiativ?i?e?'lingj.

(Applause.) I believe tho whole /Democratic P${y will very soon be restored to power, and ti*at it will lift from" the t5outh the oppressive burdens open it,-.ivod will stop all inter? ference' with ? tba laws''of the States and restore the fight of self-government and tho liberty of tho citizens. To that end I invoke upon this assembly,' I invoke upon/ovry uituBo, I-%4njvoko upon this country <ihe blessings o?-Almigbty God." 7 -> ?>aai . ? S IMPEACH ixa : Gov.. U^OPTT,,'-A oorros pondeut writing fi?xn Columbia, nuder dato of May 29, send) the following sin? gular Btory to the,New York Sun: A most beautiful conspiracy lias just come to light .here, by which it was in? tended to soizo the State government for tho time being and enact all softs of laws for the - bonefit of the thieves around tho'State House. It seoras that when tho fh.ct became kuown that Gov. Saott intended visiting New York, several of the jackals, who aro constant? ly nosing about, resolved to plan n coup d'etat. Lieut. Gov.. Ramier, Frank Moses, Jr., Speaker of tho House, Gen. Dennis, of the furniture swindle, and a dozen others, resolved as soon as Scott had passed beyond the borders of the State to issue a proclamation over Ran Bier's name calling the Legislature to? gether, impeach Scott for alleged mal? feasance in office, suspend him from office, and pass thc celebrated per diem bill which was defeated in March last by Scott's veto. The members are suffering for money. Many of them have spent their whole time since the adjournment in Colombia, afraid to go back to their constituencies. It was a beautiful pro? ject. Bansi'or was to call in the Legisla? ture the same day Scott left. As nearly all the'members are in Columbia or near it. Speaker Moses was to organize it the next day. On the next day articles of impeachment were to 'have been intro? duced, and.Gov. Scott suspended. Of course then they could afford to await tho Governor's return, and, in the mean? time, he being powerless, they could have paused the per diem stealing bill, tho Greenville Railroad bill, tho furni? ture bill, and the hosts of others that were designed to plunder the State. Fortunately, the little game got bruit? ed abroad. Scott left tho oity for Wash? ington on Wednesday last. On the I morning of that day, a gentleman well known iu tho politics of the State, and who now holds nu omeo in the Executivo Department, met Runsicr in the Btrcet. Says he: -'Look hero, Ransier, what means thia report I bear about taking possession of the State Government? Let me tell you this-if yon and your associates contem? plate any such action as that, and you succeed even foran houriu having your? self declared Governor of thia State, tho whole top of your head would be shot off before you could tiny Jack Robinson, and so would your associates be treated. Remember that. I am with yon in poli? tics, but I certainly wouldn't bo respou I uible for what may bappeu iu the evcut of your carrying out your pluns." Runnier, who is u negro of the very worst class, rather quailed before this tirade of oue of his own friends, and straightway the new turn affairs had taken was communicated to Moses. The two then thought the matter over, and, like a certain California traveler that I have rea'd about, they came to the con? clusion that they didn't care about oust? ing Soott "auyhow. somehow or other," and so tho whole project fell through. Next fall, however, at tho regular ses? sion, it is more than likely that articles of impeachment will be introduced. Scott has fallen out with the State House j gang, becauso of his veto of their swin? dling schemes, und of his affiliation with j tho recent tax-pajers' convention. FLUBBY IS THE CoTroN MABKET.-Tho o >tton market has been in a feverish, ex? cited ooudition during the week, growing out of tho heavy outstanding short iu t?rest which, for the m o ment, oversha? dows every other consideration. Tho "aborta" have been so hardly pressed that three firms have been compelled to suspend, thus complicating the difficul? ty, and imparting a degree of strength to the market which otherwise, proba? bly, would have been wanting. The munificent crop of last year, com? bined with the influences growing out of the late war in Europe, sent prices below the point for which there seemed to be any warrant, but with the pacification of Europe and the prospective recuperation of European industries, the tide bas turned, and hence some of the bear ope? rators find themselves in rather an em? barrassing current. As to the future of prices, all is at present uncertainty. The accounts of a decrease in the acreage de? voted to cotton this year, and the some? what unfavorable weather .influences in ! certain sections, together with the favor? able European advices, are calculated to enhance values, though at the moment the position of the market on contracts subordinates all other features, The fluctuations in the price have been fre? quent and wide during the last few days, aud tho oloBiog price shows an advance of some throe coots per pound from the lowest point of the season. jiV".

" Tufa beiug ?ur first visit?hAj^ffWfe? abd our first presence at auyjdeboratio.n day, "wo were naturally aut?QU^to^se^e. how this operation', whiqh;^ormtf the centre of attraction and ?ho object of the day, was performed. ''Andwo hfruV not long to wait, for, following the band that led tho procession with a Solemn, mureil, to ibo sound of muflled drums and minuto" guns, we soo?' re?cIie?T"the" numerous greaves, all in long" and regu? lor rows, and ouch marked by u miuji^ turo fl'ig beforehand;'and now, us we approach and scatter among tho white head-boards, each sep?rate ou o ia also deco) a tod with ri small hoquet ,nf flow era, for these have to bo'used Tjfi?i oco^ noiny, ns they are few and the "graves to bo .decorated uro many. ; But'''basket upou basket is brbught1 forward; appa? rently not a single grave has so fur boen forgotten, aud still the work goes ou; aud from tho narrow wooden bridge where we st and, tho sight is one of the most importing and soul-stirring that we have ever beheld. But suddenly, au armed soldier, in the uniform of thu Ma? rino Corps, pass?e the bridge, and slowly turning ou his heel, marches back again, and at no great distance from him wc see another, and yet another. There is apparently a whole line of them sta? tioned thero, for the purpose, ns we sup? pose, by their presouce to do honor to their comrades-all true and brave sol? diers-that rest beueath tho sumo sod they seem to guard. But we soon found out our mistake, and learned that tho military had been statioued there for quite a different pur? pose. Two young ladies approached, each With a bouquet iu her hand. Stooping down, they quietly placed these at the head-boards of two graves just to tho left of the small bridge on which we ' bad Taken up our post of observation, and, having done this, turned to go. But now tho soldier that we had before noticed carno euddenly np on the sceue, rudely telling the ladies to "remove them flowers!" "What harm can they do?" asked ouo of these, for wo were near enough to hear every word that was passed. "Never mind; pick 'em up and take 'om away 1" Meanwhile ia crowd was gathering, aud, desiring to avoid any further disturbance, the ladies took np the bouquets and slowly walked away. This scene was to mo unexpected as it was painful. Probably noticing my as? tonishment at this rudo interference of a valiant United States soldier, with bayo? neted musket und all, with a lady, aud tbut with such a purposo, somebody volunteered tho information that "them graves were the graves of tho Confede? rate soldiers." By locking closer I snw the word "rebel" painted in large, pro? minent totters upon each headstone un? der the name; and directly behind these graves were the soldiers stationed. I could scarcely believe my eyes, aud yet it was so. "Rebel," after death? Or e'.se, why mark these graves? Then mark "rebel" on every grave, and let us all instruct the man that is to carve our headstones to put it thero also; for have we not all rebelled against Qod, all dis I obeyed His ordainings, aud the laws of I the Bible? Who gave the order to write "rebel"'there, where there is nothing now but dust? Was he a Christian whu causod this to be inscribed ou thu dead men's graves? It is well that it is writ? ten but on wood aud will soon perish; in tho record above it bas surely long since been stricken ont. Was this done ia view of "reconstruction," and for the1 oharitable purpose of facilitating recon? ciliation, or to cultivate and nourish the spirit of brotherly love and friendship, that hus, alas!-by the very acts of these men who brauded "rebel" on tho head? stones of the dead, bat who never fought the liviug-been HO long wanting? ls it dono to further "peace on earth and good will among men?" Is it therefore that these graves are not permitted to be decorated? And can it be a true Chris? tian spirit that dictates the desecration of deud men's graves? Ohl how much wo have to learn and how far we are be? hind; we, who profess te be Curistinus, and the followers of His command to "be charitable, even unto our enemies!*' Wo muy well take a lesson in charity from the simple inhabitants of Suuder burg aud Deppel, iu Schleswig, where, in 18G4, a fierce nod bloody buttle was fought. When tho war was over, the : remains of the fallen, Danes aud Ger? mans alike, were all gathered together, j and buried in oue common churchyard side by side. Every year, upon a certain day, these graves are decorated, accord? ing to the present or past sympathies of the populace; some decorating tho graves of the fallen Danes, and others those of the Gorma j soldiers. But the govern? ment neve- interferes, (although that is now any thing but a free country under Prussian mle,) and not a singlo grave is left without a bouquet or wreath of flowers; and os to distubances on this occasion, they were nover dreamed of, and thero never wa? any provision made against thom, because no suoh thought was possible, in connection with so solemn and touching a ceremony. G KEELEY FOB PBEfliDENT.-Theodore 'Pilton comes out for Greeley for Presi? dent. "A renomination of Grant," he says, "would bo so injudicious that it ought no longer to be discussed." Ho adds: "To say nothing of the groat fact that bis administration has been but a medi? ocre sucoess, and not worth repeating for another four years, the victorious North should not a second timo impose on tho whole country tho conqueror of ono-hnlf of it. This is not tho way to heal tho wounds of a oivil war. Penoe, magna? nimity, fraternal kindness-this is the spirit which wo hope the North will seek to exhibit toward tho South in the next Presidential canvass." LA THE BONNET CABKE CREVASSE.-A late Louisiana paper says: The crevasse nt Bonnet Carre ia s tili x u nu^ng ot a f ear? ful rate, although fljcre is'not ria much iff a ter passing tnr?hgh ag at ono time, wjariver having fallen considerably.

Wo hope, J "also, thal 'fa! the ~mcnnhmo those who have bad all destroyed by this: great dis? aster, will not bo forgotten by those who aro disposed to aid tho unfortunate. Many of the poorer ones have les', every? thing they possessed, while even the wealthier planters will suffer terribly. A DREADFOL DKATII.-Some days ago, a littlo boy, about five years of ngo, sou of a Mr. Miller, of Grayson County, Va., was killed by tho bite of n'rattle? snake. Tho little fellow had gono out with some other members of tho family to look for eggs, nod iu his search he crawled underneath bis father's barn. After going some distance under the floor, he screamed to his companions that -something was killiug him. They obtained assistance, and ripped up the planks of the floor, when to their horror they found a largo rattlesnake tightly coiled around his neck. The snuku had bitten him in several places ou,thc face and neck, and ho was quite dead when taken up.-Marion Herald. THE OLDEST ODD FELLOW.-Wm. E. Chambers, undoubtedly tho senior mem? ber of the Independent Onler of Odd Fellows in America, and probably in tho world, died on Tuesday night, iu Brook? lyn, Now York.

Tho Justices have labored faithfully in the discharge of their arduous duties, having heard a great number of tedious cases - of vast importance to the Shite, some of Svhich involve questions of grave, con? stitutional law. . : . j.i The weather, that nu fortunate indi? vidual, never in. its beat , aspe?la, fiofii- *>? oiently praised* but always iu ita ex? tremes assailed like a personal enemy, deserves more consideration ak .ouV, hands. It stands as a great arbiter of... hu Luau affairs, not only personally affect* ing onr delicate humanity at the present moment, bot tolling wonderfully upon the immediate future. The weather pre? se ribes the fashion:-, from furs to invisi? ble laws; it diotates diet, from' back wheat cakes and plum pudding to rose leaves and cream. It shuts np great city houses and drives their occupants to dairy farms ur Beaweed currents. It taps the stay-at-homes at every pore, and makes them long for aboriginal cos? tumes. It penetrates tho earth with sun? beams and spears of rain, and thoa pro- * doces or withholds seed for the. sower and bread for the eater. How then can we blame people for reiterated speeches about the weather, or be angry if every man we meet puffs out the words; "How fearfully hot it is?" OFFICBItS ELMTVOOD CipiETEBY Coil- .
