COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday ttorninR, Hay 26, 1872. Stell We Send Delegates to Baltimore? This ia a question which is exciting discussion among the press and tho lead? ing citizens of the State. We have ex? pressed onr views favoring the ?ogative side of the.question, heretofore. Fur? ther consideration has only strengthened our former opinion. When such good men, and snob wise and experienced statesmen, as the Hons. W. D. Porterand B. IP. Perry, nob to mention our honored contemporaries of the quill,', differ with as, we are constrained to step cautiously and consider woll our position. But we have strong leaders on the negative side, too. Qen. Kershaw and Judge Aldrich are trusty men and true, and many of our ablest County papers oppose the sending of delegates. Both the general Damooratio Conventions held sinoe the war, the tearful re-union at Philadelphia in 1866, and_ tho big mistake at Now York in 1868, are now conceded to have had baneful effeots upon the South .* It had been better for as in South Carolina bad we kept away from them. This, though not a convincing argument, for circum? stances may and doubtless have greatly changed the political field, is still a prima facie inducement against our par? ticipating in the Baltimore Convention. In the second place, the Baltimore Con? vention is a general meeting of the De? mocratic party. None but members of the Democratic party surely are entitled to a voice in the counsels there. We have no Democratic party in this State, and we are convinoed that it is not the wish of the people to revive that defunot organization in our midst.' ' We have no ourse for the National Democratic party, for wo revere its principles and are grate? ful for the sympathy it has shown to the South. Now, if a convention meets under a call for Democrats, and fiends dclcgatce to Baltimore, is that not a re-organiza? tion and revivification of the party in this State? If it is not, then what righi will our delegates have to a seat in thc Democratic Convention? They must bf Democrats, and representatives of a dui] organized Democratic meeting; other? wise, they cannot claim a voice in a pun Democratic Convention-suoh as the on< to be held at Baltimore on the 9th o: July. Furthermore, we well know thai the great question for the Baltimore Convention is Greeley or no Greeley The main, if not the sole, object of part] conventions ?B to secure unanimity o act'on . among the members. To thii end, there is a tacit, implied agreemon among those who take part in suoh con sultationsto abide the honest decision o the .majority. This must bo so, or elsi there is no need of conventions at all They ure mere shams. Now, we ar? already determined upon our conrse We are all for Greeley-unconditionally unequivocally, convention or no conven tion. We are not going to consult, fo our minds are already made up. I every delegation to Baltimore exoept ou own were to vote for a straight Demo cratio ticket, we could not be influence* to give it any practical endorsement We differ from onr sister States of th South at this time, in that they hav endorsed tbe Cincinnati platform am candidates conditionally. They prc pos to vote for Greeley and Brown, provide, the general party convention so detei mine. They prefer Greeley and Brown and will urge their endorsement, direct] or indirectly, by the party, but will b governed by the final determination. We are prepared to take no snoh altei native. We mean to have Greeley am Brown and nobody else. If we som delegates to Baltimore, they go there t dictate or advise, certainly not to cor snit If wo have no Democratic party - if we do not moan to revive it-if we ar not going to acquiesce in tho deoision c the Convention, and work as it shall d reot-then we have no more business G Baltimore than Republicans or any othc outsiders. Suoh seems to be the logioi conclusion to our mind. We present i however, with all the deference due i the high authorities on the other sid? We know that South Carolina can cai seven votes in the Convention against Democratic nomination, and this is vei desirable to be done. Bat if it canoe be done with propriety, it shonld not t done at all. As far as influencing tt Convention is concerned, surely tho fa of Sooth Carolina-once the Btrongho! of Democracy-keeping aloof, when tb is done from no feeling of anger, spi or envy, should have greater weight tin the votes of onr handful of delegates. PROBABLY A SLANDER.-A special d spatch to a Cincinnati paper, charg Andrew Jaokson with having accoi plished the ruin of the postm.istoi wife at Greenville, and driving her commiasion of suicido. This in donl loss an invention of tho enemy. Democratic Contention. Aa soma apprehoDsiou prevails in re? ference to the call issued by the Central Executive Committee, we beg to make a statement tonohing tbe authority under which we aoted. The committee, of which wo are members, was appointed by the Stato Demooratio Convention, which met here August 7, 1868, and, like tho National Democratic Committee, of course, continues in existence until superseded by a new appointment, or is abrogated by the same authority which created it. As it is tho only organization in the State which could properly tuko any action in reference to tho call made by the National Demooratio Committee, for the assemblage of a National Conven? tion, we thought that courtesy to the National Committee, as well as duty to tho people, required some steps on our part. Acting upon these views, aud in accordance with a request that we should do so, we suggested the propriety of out people meeting in convention, in order that they might consult or take snob action as seemed best to them. In view of the grave questions which will come before the Convention that ii to meet here, we deem it of great impor? tance that all parts of the State shonld be folly and ably represented, and wc venture to express the hope that everj County will send a full delegation. The National Democratic Oonventior will be forced either to place its owe candidates in the field, or to give iti support, open or implied, to those of th? Cincinnati Convention. The South pre fers almost unanimously the latter alter -native; and if we wish to make our sap port of the Liberal movement of ain avail, we should ase every l?gitim?t* means in our power to Becure the cn dorsemenb of tho nominees of the Libe ral Republican party. Whether it is the best policy for thi National Convention to moet or not, ii no longer an open question. It hai been called together. AU the otbe Southern States have responded to tin call; and as it is of the last conBequenc that the whole power of tho South ehouli be exerted there to protect the interest of our people, we are decided in ou opinion that our Stato should be als> represented. But, of course, this is : matter that belongs exclusively to th Convention, and we only express ou own individual convictions, beiug en tiroly satisfied to leave tho whole eubjoc to be determined by the proper anthon ty.

THE PBKSS ON GREELEY'S LETTER. - The pr JHS pretty generally pronounce Mr. Greeley's letter, accepting tho Lib ral nomination, an ablo and vigorot paper, some of the opposition eve styling it courageous, while a sing journal, tho New York Post, merely r gards it as "cunning." From this poii the line of comment divides. The A? ministration papers say that the lif'" ' been taken out of it by the acion i Congress in passing what they call tl amnesty Act, a partial and henoe u gracious measure at this late day. Tin also speak of it as a bid for Democrat support. A straight-out Democrat paper says that in it Mr. Greeley d parts from his life-long principles, that paper understands thom. Oi free-trade paper speaks of Mr. G reel? "as willing to hide bis protectionist pi olivities under a mass of words." B however adverse the line of criticism, howover inimical to Mr. Greeley may 1 the critic, not one undertakes to pi noonoo the letter anything short of first class document in point of tone well as method. Those who speak i Sontbern sentiment, point out that in Mr. Greeley touches a ohord which quick to respond generously to its gee rons sentiment. Dn. LIVINGSTONE.-Every number the New York Herald contains fresh i counts of the discovery of Dr. Livii stone, the famous African explor whoso whereabouts has sc long been t known. It asserts that Stanley (we i not told whether he is any relation the "On, Stanley, on," or not,) its c respondent, is at Ujiji, with Livingatoi awaiting the arrival of the relief expe tioc. We oannot understand, howev wby Stanley oan forward snob freqai communications to the civilized wor while Livingstone, in his seven yes enforced sojourn among the wild tri! of Central Africa, was not able to sc evan a single letter to his friends. A SET-OFF AT THE SOUTH.-T House of Representatives yesterday sorted in the oivil appropriation bill appropriatisn of $2,500,000 to ] Soathern claimants the amounts t them nndor mail contracts existing pi to May 1, 1869. A proviso that st pay mont should be made only on pr of "loyalty" was stricken oat. 1 same bill appropriates $3,000,000 to expended by tho Department of Josi in prosecutions of the Southern poo under the Ka Klux bill. This lal would seem to bo intended as an ab dant sot-off for thc former measure. COLUMBIA, S. O., May 25, 1872. Gen. John B. Dennis-Sm: I am com? pelled by a decent sense of self-respeot to notice the imputation cast npon me in your lotter, published in the Union ot this date. The paragraph to which I re? fer is aB follows: "Tho S tato Lunatic Any I DUI is strag? gling along from hand to mouth, not knowing from day to day what they will do on the morrow, although one of our Stato officers and one of oar County Treasurers have generously offered, io tbeir great desiro to seo our humano in? stitutions perpetuated, to buy the war? rants of tho Comptroller-General upon the appropriation nando by the Legisla? ture for its support, and pay for them tho sum of fifty cents on the dollar. Was ever such magnanimity known in oiBcerB bofore? Dr. Euaor repeatedly informed the Legislature that the insti? tution could not be muintniued for a loss sum than that appropriated, viz: S?O.?UO; and now must ho be compelled to sell the regular warrant of the Comptroller upon that fund for fifty cents on the dollar?" As I am known to bo the County Trea? surer to whom you refer, I hereby pro? nounce your statement a bnso and mali? cious falsehood, and in proof of this de? claration, I present to the public the facts in the premises. The Stute Treasurer having informed tho Superintendent of the Luuutio Asy? lum tout thero were no funds in the Treasury to meot the warrants drawn on the appropriation for that institution, it became necessary either to obtain money on private credit to maintain it, or turn out its unfortunate inmates upon the community, without food or shelter. Io this emergency, Dr. Ensor, tho Superin? tendent, sought to raise the funds ne? cessary to support the Asylum until suf? ficient taxes are collected, by hypothe? cating the warrants drawn on thu Trea? surer by tho Comptroller-General, lu this be very naturally failed. At this juncture, and to prevent a re? sult abhorrent to tho civilization of thc age, Gov. Scott offered to endorse the notes of tho Superintendent for the amounts required; warrants of the Comptroller-General being deposited by the Superintendent in tho Carolina Na? tional Bank, of this city, as collaterals in tho transaction, aud I agreeiug, by au? thority of the Stato Treasurer, to liqui? date these notes out of thu first money paid into tho County Troasary for Stute taxes, taking up tho warrants and turn? ing them into thc State Treasury as cash to the extent of tho amount of money advanced upon tho same, with accrued interest. This is a plain statement of the facts, that aro all well knowu to several of the banks in Columbia. Tho warrants of the Comptroller-General were not Bold, nor did I or any oue elie, to my knowledge, offer to buy thom, as you bave falsely alleged. Messrs. Agnew Sc Sou, of this city, ono of tho most reli? able and solid business bouses ia the State, a-o now supplying the Asylum with provisions under the arrangement effected. They felt constrained, as pru? dent merchants, to refuse to furnish any supplies iv ,a tho faith of any number of war* J drawn upon the State Troa sur ." declared themselves ready to j the oredit asked, on tho personal endorsement of Gov. Scott, which bas been given, as abovo stated. That en? dorsement is tho chief guaranty of pay? ment in tho promises, as the warrants have no determinable value in the money market, and will Lave none while such as you are remain in tho General Assem? bly, and oontinue to grow ricbor as the State grows poorer. I have neither profit nor advantage in the negotiation referred to, nor can Gov. Scott possibly derive any pecuniary benefit from it, while his risk is certain. If sufficient money to satisfy the notes comos into the Treasury, I will pay it over as agreed. If they are not paid from taxes within tho time stipulated, the warranta hypothecated at fifty cants on the dollar may be sold for what they will bring in tho market, and Gov. Scott will be iiablo for the deficit; while, on the other band, any excess remaining after satisfying the notes, must bo paid over to tho Superintendent of the Asy? lum. I will not remark upon the gushing honesty that you display iu your ref jual to unite in the proposed call foran extra session of the Legislature. In this you praotioo a very safe und ohoap patriot? ism, for you have delayed your protest until the sohemo was notoriously dead and buried, beyond the hope of resur? rection. Your professions of sympathy for the people, in view of the public schools being closed, and the Statt in? stitutions having but a precarious Sup? port, through private credit, will b re? garded by all good oitizons, who 1 DOW the real oause of this lamentable cc ndi tion of affairs, as only adding insu t to injury. The people, sir, can no lofcger be deceived in these matters. As they look upon your sudden display of wealth and splendid equipages, and remember your reoent petition in bankruptcy, they will welcome your professions iu favor of honesty and eoonomy in the State Government, if they accept your pre? tended* co-operation ut all, on tho known principle that "the hair of the dog is good for the bi to." O. H. BALDWIN, Treasurer Richland County.

GERMAN IMMIGRATION.-The Now York Express hus a letter from Berlin, which gives u striking picture of a "social movement" now going on in many parts of Germany. Large masses of the rural population are swarming across tho Atlantic, the lines to Ham? burg and Bremen are all crowded with intending emigrants, villages are half emptied, and farced sales of property, at twenty-fivo per e jut. below its real valne, testify to tho eagerness of owners to hurry away to tho Westorn land of pro? mise. It is stated that the majority of these emigrauts aro skilled mechanics and artisans, and a* such can scarcely fail to exercise an important influence upon tho industrial development of the country. Tho Secretary of the Treasury received a letter from a well-known lawyer in Philadelphia, enclosing a obeck for 84,000, und saying: "Oue of my corres? pondents, a naturalized citizen of the United States, who returned to Europe some years ugo, lins directed moto pay over to tho (Joverntncut of tho Uuited States, iu un unobstrusivo manner, a certain sum nf money, as n token of the obligation he feels under to this freo aud uoblo Government, and ns bis mite towards thu payment of the national debt.

They objected to washing their arms beforo tho operation. They don't Uko small-pox, but neither do they relish nuy kind of ablation. Soap, if it is good quality, they eat with great relish-they consider the use of it as a detergent simply wasteful. That they submitted finally to wash their arms was considered strong proof of their invinci? ble dread of something worse END OF TUE CARLIST INSURBECTION. Marshal Serrano hus, to all appearance, been completely successful in pntting down tho Carlist insurrection. Latterly the movement was confined to the pro? vinces of Bisoay. In all the other pro? vinces tho insurrection was stamped ont. It is now authoritatively stated that in Biscay the Carlist organization has bean completely annihilated. It is no longer to bo denied that the King's government is strong. We are not satisfied, how? ever, that the Spanish people are likely soon to settle down to habits of peaee and industry. A ROYAL CONVERT.-According to a report in the Northern papers, the Baptist missionaries in Japan have already oonvertcd the Mikado. If this be indeed so, a great revolotion impends. Already the Mikado has withdrawn the edicts against Christianity, and made religious toleranoe the law of the land. If he enters a Christian Church, there is co telling what he may not do in be? half of his new faith and the civilization winch accompanies it. SUDDEN DEATHS.-Two very sadden deaths have ooourred in this County within tho past week. Mr. Newton Redmond, who lives near Blackville, was sick but two days, and Dr. C. A. Harley, of Barnwell, died soddenly of inflammation of throat, and but a few boura previous to bis death, seemed in excellent health. These gentlemen were higiy esteemed and useful citizens and members of the Masonic fraternity. J Barnwell Sentinel. In au Indianapolis church, the other day, a vagrant bumble-bee alighted upon the bald head of a worthy man who was engaged in fervent prayer. He brushed away the troublesome creature, bat it made a second dive at bis shining poll, and put in a sting that brought the prayer to au abrupt conclusion. The congregation tittered, the bald man hastily left the the church, a hymn was strock op, and the bee bumbled oat at the window. Stephen Lowrey and Andrew Strong, two of the Souf?atown outlaws, were present among a large congregation that assembled at a burying-ground near Bnie's stoie, in Robeson County, on Sunday lost, to hoar a fanerai sermon that was to have been preached there on that day by Rev. N. M. Ray. The con? gregation numbered about 500 persons, and those men mingled freely among them without molestation or restraint. The German press throughout the country has taken its position on the Cincinnati nominations with a heavy preponderance in favor of Greeley and Brown. Six Republican papers favor and six oppose, eight independent papers favor and nono oppose, eighteen Democratic papors favor and threo op poso it.
