COLUMffLk j M jj Sunday Morang, March 31, 1872. Tne Cincinnati Convention-Ita Flat? form. The committee of arrangements for the convention, which ?B to meet in Cincinnati on the first of Hay.Jiave issued a oiroular announcing the con? vention, and calling upon the people to sustain it, as representing the following political principles: The constitution aa it is, oivil eervioo reform, a tariff for revenue only, general amnesty for past political offences, and local self-govern? ment. Assuming that the call is a genu? ine and authoritative publication, it ia safe to pr?same that the principies it enunciates have been settled upon by the conounent judgment of the leading spirits of tho movement, Gratz Brown, Sumner, Greeley, Schurz and Trumbull, and that they indicate, with a reasonable certainty, even if they do not precisely set'forth, what will be the nature and {?cope of the platform which the eon - vention will adopt, and upon which the liberal Republican candidates will lay their claims to tho suffrages of tho peo? ple. "The constitution as it is," which means the constitution with tho four? teenth and fifteenth amendments, con? ferring equal oivil and political privi? leges upon the colored people of the country, wo take it, is Mr. Sumner's particular plank-a sine qua non with him-a condition precedent to his taking any part in the movement. But this is a point npon whioh, at thia day, at least, not even the staunchest old line Demooratp will differ with Mr. Sum? ner. As to tho balance, tko National Demo? cratic Convention itself will be unable better to embody the views and desires of the conservative elements than ia hero done. The Grant Wing of the Re? publican party-or, in other words, the office-holders and jobbers-will, doubt? less, make loud professions of the ne? cessity for civil aorvioQ reform, and an? nounce it in the platform of tho Phila? delphia Convention as one of their chief; aims; but the people will fudge them by; their works in the past, rather' than by their specious promises of futhre amend? ment. They have had a trial, and the swindles in the New York Custom House, and in the Navy and the War Depart? ments, and the unprecedented cost and profligacy of the Government in every respect, shows what may be expected of the Grantites in tho way of economy. The Grant .faction, will, moreover, not dare to make a square issue upon the question of local self-government. Though they have never scrupled to over-ride the rights of the States to effect party ends, they are fully aware that the specific declaration of any intention in that direotion would meet with a storm of denunciation from the masses of the people, to whatever politioal party they may huve heretofore been attaohed. Perhaps tho only issue that will be acknowledged by the Philadelphia Re? publicans, thu only proposition which will be emphatically advanced on the one tilde, and clearly und unequivocally de? nied on the other, will bo that of reduc? ing thu tariff to a strictly revenue basis. There ia a real substantial difference of opinion on this point among the people. We did not expeot, on aooount of Mr. Greeley's connection with the liberal Republican movement, and his well kuown devotion to a protective tariff, to find the Cincinnati Convention so direct and outspoken in its advocacy of virtual free trade. It was presumable that, in deference to Mr. Greeley, and with a view to harmony and conciliation, tho tariff would have been left in the back? ground for the protont, and tho struggle mude Bolely against congressional usur? pation and Grant's despotio proclivities. But if tho liberal Republicans can agree to strike for a redaction of the tariff, it certainly is not the part of the Democracy to object. The South, from time immemorial, has been bitterly op? posed to a protective tariff. It hos al? ways been our ohief complaint against the General Government, as evinoing unjust and intolerable discrimination in favor of the manufacturer, as opposed to other industrial pursuits, and being altogether an agricultural people, we were a unit against it. We have now a mighty ally in the struggle against the No n England manufacturer. The great Wost, like the South, is injured by tho tariff levied solely for the benefit of a few wealthy New Englanders, and sooner or later the oombined strongth of the two sections and tho innate justice of their cause must prevail. This matter of the tariff is, at least, a fair, simple and intelligible issue, und we shall bo glad to have it made. ?-??-? A Brooklyn man paid his wife a high compliment the other day.

We have, done all wi thiu the soo po of oar humble endeavors', to' Aro uso tho peo? ple to a sense of the importance of a re? form in per city government, and to aid in the election o? efUoiqnt and reliable men to effect the muoh desired reform. We shall have tbe comforting conscious noes, in common with the good people who have heartily joined in the work, that we baye done on r du ty,.'no matter what the .result moy be. If what we hear be true, it is nut every-oitizon in our city that can say tho same for him? self. We learn tbut there are a large number of white votora who have shame? fully neglected to register, an .he pro? bability is that their inertness and Gri? minal indifference wiil throw tho city into the hands o? those from whom, taught by experience and common sense em well, wo can expect nothing but loss and ultimately ruin. It is alarming no less, (han provoking ip not?: tbi?> utter want of public spirit on tho part of'mon who oall th pm eel ves South Carolinians. Th? uneducated and inexperienced colored man, who unwittingly sooxifices his country's welfare, may bo exoused, to Borne extent, on the ground that he bas no knowledge of. governmental af? fairs; bat what can be said for the.edu? cated and intelligent white man, who, in au emergency like this, when he dearly sees that tbe whole material interesta of the city are jeopardized, will not give five minutes of his time to an effort to save himself and his noighbors from the threatening danger? Suoh people are but little less culpable than the corrupt: demagogues themselves. We by no means, however, despair of the election. Let every mau who bas registered, re? cord his vote to-day, and we will crrry some of tho wards, at least. A largo humber of colored men will vote the "Citizens' " Ticket, notwithstanding the supineness of soma white men. AN EMDAJUIABSINO SITUATION.-An ox ohangeiuformsns that the oldjphilopouu trick has been revived again in Alabama, where "the young lady takes a double almond in her teeth and the young man bites it off." That sort of thing used to .be popular in Doylestown, Po. ; but it is hardly ever tried any. more; sinoe the painful accident : which occurred at a .philopona party last wiuter. The lady who held the almond between ber teeth wastfiomewhat advanced in years and uot a little dilapidated. Tho almond was uncommonly tough, and tbe man who nibbled Was in deadly earnest. He closed, his teeth on it and pulled. It would not give. He pulled border, but made mo impression. He clinched his jaw%upon it and gave u desperate wrench. It is unpleasant to relate what followed; but, as truth crushed to earth will cer? tainly rise again anyhow, whether we try *o keep her down or not, wo may bo pardoned for saying that, as a conse? quence of tho violent efforts of the young man, be found himself standing up in that room, holding in.his mouth a nut, in which were fixed a doublo set of porcelain teeth, belonging to the alore said maiden. It was embarrassing in a certain sense for all parties; the young man thought it would ho soothing to tho feelings of the compnny it he weut home. Other and less perilous gomes are in vogue at Doylestowu this year. A VALUADLE DIAMOND FOUND IN A SHAVING BKUSU.-About eighteen years ago, two gentlemen of this city-well known in the mercantile circles-pur? chased two shaving brushes from tho drug house of Plumb & Lcituor. Thc brushes were of the ordinary kind, aud oost, wo suppose, about tiffy cents each. The brushes were kept at tho barber shops and at the homes of tho purchasers until about two years ago, when they seemed worn out, and woro used by lbs children as plaything?. Ono of th? brushes was lost, but a fow days ngo a singular discovery was made iu relation to the other; while a little boy was play? ing with it the top beoame unsorowed, and in tho hollow handle n valuable dia? mond was discovered, set in the wood and carefully covered with pink cotton. There aro many conjectures as to how the gem came to bo in tho handle of tho brush, the most plausible of which is that it was placed there by smugglers. Before tho war, some importer of pre? cious stones, who wished to evade the heavy import duty on suoh articles, placed thom in shaving brushes, and in this way'brought them under tho nose of the oustom bouso officers without creat? ing the suspicions of the latter. After? wards, the enterprising jeweller forgot to remove some of tho jowels, and thu brushes went into the bands of tho drug? gists.-Augusta Chronicle. BURNED TO DEATH-A larnoo table ao oident oocurred last week, on Dr. A. lt, Taber's Oakland placo, in St. Matthews, Orangebnrg County.

Tbis convention has been culled for tho 1st of May, because it hus been thought that by the terms of the call of tho convention of liberal Republicans, only Republicans were invited. While the groat objects to bc attained of both tho ro-uinion and reform organization and that of the liberal Republiouus are similar, yet one of the chief and especial aimS of the organization for re-union and reform ia to unite members of all parties, and from all sections of the country, in thu- support of those princi? ples so vital to tho welfare of tho peo? ple. The purpose of this oircular is to set the above facts clearly before tboso who desire to come to tbo convention, and to inform them that a committee of ar? rangements, with authority to act for both conventions, has been appointod, whose duty it is, among other things, to facilitate the transportation of those coming to the convention, und to uosiut them to And accommodations which ure in every way ample while here. It may be stated that arrangements have already boen made with some of tho railroads, and probably will bo with all, by which persouH paying full fare to the convention will receive, through the Committee of Arrangement?, free pas? sage to their homes.

A CENTRAL AMERICAN CONFEDERATION. Tho movement for a coufederalion of tho republics of Central America bas, for a long time, bad warm advocates, and now appears iu a fair way of having a trial. Four republics-Costu Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador sent representatives to meet at La Union, with tho object of establishing tho baso of such a confederation. They brought their labors to all end on tho 17th of February last, when they signed a "Pact of tho Central American Uuion."
