COLUMBIA. S. C. Sunday morning* June 2,1872. Have We O. Democratic Party la South Carolina 1 We stated, in a previous article op? posing the sending of delegates from this State to the general Democratic Convention at Baltimore, that there was no Demooratio party in this State, and we did not propose to have one. The Ohsrleston News thinks this a "bold begging of the question," and proceeds to show, after its fashion, that wo have got a Demooratio party, or ought to have one, because we had one some time ago. If people never changed their opinions, or if we had no indications of an altera? tion in the sentiments of the people of South Carolina, the argument of the Nexos would be very strong. But it does happen that people do change their opinions, which we hope the News will admit, and not' accuse us here, too, of begging the question; and it does further happen, if any faith can be put in the presa of the State and in tho letters of bur most influential citizens, that the strongest indications are given of a gen? eral disinclination to revive the Demo? oratio party in this State, or entrust our further fortunen to its impotent handr. The News need go no further than its own County Convention, which it does not itself know whether to call Demo? oratio or Conservative, and finally ends by calling it both, to have proof of our "bold assertion." In the proceedings of that convention, published in the same issue of the News in which ita editor pitches into na for what he ia pleased to term our "bold begging of the question," we find the very President himself ear? nestly disclaiming against any connec? tion with the Demooratio party, whioh he considered aa dead and buried some time ago. The remarks of thia gentle? man. Mr. Kinloch, are reported in the News aa being received with applause. Mr. MoOrady was of the same opinion, and openly declared himself no Demo? crat. Mr. Steadman says, "We do not meet here aa Demoorats." ' There was no dissenting voioe reported, and Mr. Boag declared without being contradicted, that there was but one proclaimed Democrat in the meeting-a Mr. Alley. Now if, as we suppose, thia Mr. Alley is Mr. Jack Alley, the well-known undertaker, we warn our contemporary that the faithful allegiance of snob an one is very ominous at this time. Mr. Alley, doubtless, has a keen eye to business, and being de? sirous to bo in at the burial, it is surely only by way of euphemism that, like bis illustrious prototype, Mr. Omer, he is persuaded to speak of the def unot body as "the party." The News says the assembling in con? vention will prove whether or not there is a Demooratio party in the State. We submit to our contemporary, that if bis primary meeting in Charleston can be regarded aa a criterion of those in other parts' of the State, that there will be but a slim Demooratio gathering at the capi? ta!. They who respond to the call of a Demooratio Exeoutive Committee should be Demoorats, wa admit, but they will not be in this instance; and for proof, we point our contemporary to his own County Convention, and bid him pondei upon it and grow wise. There is evi? dently no Demooratio party in Charles? ton. Even our rash contemporary will scarcely nndertake to "go it alone" on Mr. Alley, who, though, doubtless, e very excellent man, is too singular to form a party, aooording to any ordinary acceptation of the term. In its zeal tc maintain the existence of the Demoora? tio party, the News evinoea a conscious? ness of the inconsistency of our taking part in the Baltimore Convention, ex? cept aa Democrats. We are glad to sec this, and hope the News will impress the idea upon the Convention, so that there may be a clear understanding of the cha? racter in whioh we propose to demand a hearing in Demooratio oounoils. Il there ia a Demooratio party in the State, and it ia proposed to oontinue the orga? nisation, and to direct ita efforts aa the national party shall determine to be best, then, of course, they have the unques? tionable right to meet their brother De? m?crata at Baltimore, and oast tho vote of the State. But if there ia no Demo oratio party, nor desire for any-no in tention longer to link onr destinies tc ita tottering fortunes-so willingness tc abide the determination of a majority o the party, bot, instead, a fixed resolv? todo aa we think best, and to vote fo: those who are not Demoorats-then w< have sorely no more right to a seat ii the Baltimore Convention than an; other outsiders. The Newa Bays there is a Demoorati party in the State; the Charleston Conn ty Convention very emphatically sa; there ia not any respectable portion of i in that aeotion. We will wait and sei what the other Counties Bay, and finall; what the convention itself shall declare We hope oar contemporary will see to it that the convention is ezplioit on this point, (or npon it, aa the News nega? tively admits, depends the propriety of oar sending delegates to Baltimore. If the members of the convention will de? clare that they are Demoorats, and mean to continuo in that faith, we shall have nothing more to say to them npon their right to participate in a Democratic Na? tional Gonvention. We shall only ex peot of them that they be consistent, and when onoe they have deolared themselves Democrat, that they will abide the deoi sion of their party, honestly expressed, whatever it may be, and will UBO all their endeavors to seoare the success of what? ever tioket their party may place in the field. Correspondence ot thc Phoenix. G nuns VILLE, 8. G., May 31, 1872. FBIEHD SELBY: I have to reoord one of those lamentable occurrences, incident to the season, which took place between 5 and G o'olook, yesterday evening, at Johnston's mill-pond, on Brushy Greek, Anderson County, nine miles from Greenville. It appears that fonr yoong white boy s, name and age respectively as follows: Wm. J. Ellison, aged twelve years; A. J. Ellison, ten; Lee Couch, eight; Willie Couch, eight; when re? turning from school they stripped and went into the pond to wash, or bathe no one else knew anything of it-after which a negro man, by ohanoe, happened to pass by the pond and saw on the bank some boys' clothing. Not seeing the boys, he feared the worst, and went promptly to the honse of Mr. Johnston and reported the fact. Measures were immediately taken, the pond was drained, and the bodies of the unfortu? nate youths were found together, looked in the embraces of death. It is sap posed, perhaps, that one or more of the unfortunates hod got beyond his depth and in the efforts of the others to save him, they were involved in one common min. The two Ellisons were brothers and sons of a blind father, and were just beginning to be of some assistance to the parent, whioh makes the misfortune greater. The two Conch boys were coonina. The sad calamity hos cast gloom among the families of their parents and relatives, who are among the most respectable families of their seotion. Politically, Greeley stook is activo and buoyant, with an advancing tendency holders oheerfnl. Grant stook station? ary, dnll and heavy, like the owner holders uneasy. "Third candidate stock" in limited supply and demand light thought to be a poor investment. M. jg A Card. To THE EDITOR OF THE PHONIY: In the proceedings of the Gity Council, pub? lished in your paper of to-day, is a com? munication from certain citizens to the Mayor, in reference to the fetid odorB arising from the cometary, and in part denying that such ie the case. The mere denial does not remove the charge that saoh exists, and whioh was made to his Honor by the writer, in his communi? cation of the 221 nit. It is a well known foot, that the denizens of the Five Points of New York oity, are total? ly oblivious to the offensive odors that are constantly arising from their midst. In their case the sense of smell has be? come BO blunted, from long aontaot with decaying matter, that they are nuable to distinguish smells, and saoh is always the case amongst a people who live amidst filth and dirt. The resident near to gas houses and bone-boiling establish? ments never appear to distinguish the offensive Btenones from these manufac? tories. It is only those who live some little distance off, or the stranger who comes into their midet. The men who work amongst slaughter-hoases are ex? amples of the same kind. The gratui? tous remark that the parties who are spreading this report must surely be laboring under a mistake, or else willfully misrepresent mailers, ill becomes a body of men who are supposed to have the in? terests of the oity at heart. I again re? peat, that there bas been offensive odors in my neighborhood, and my belief is that they arise from the cemetery. Very respectfully, JOHN McQUEEN. COLUMBIA, S. G.. June 1, 1872. The Charleston News, referring to the departure of the Republican delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, says: "The delegates are mostly in favor of the renomination of Grant for President, and speak of potting np Senator Wilson for Vice-Pr?sident. They boast that they are about to pot a plank in the Radical platform whioh will sweep the Sooth to a man for Grant." TURNING BLACK TO WHITE.-A "sci? entist" has at last solved the ancient co? nundrum, *'Can an Ethiopian change his skin?" This is the way he proposes to do it: The candidate will be first sub? jected to a bath of alkaline water. Hav? ing been well cleansed, he is placed in a room where a reliable thermometer indi? cates 120 degrees of Fahrenheit. After fifteen minutes' baking, the partially cooked viotim is oondnoted to a bath of ohlorine water, at the ordinary tempera tare. The heat has opened all the pores, so that the ohlorine flows in and reaohes the ooloring matter. To keep it in, the pores must be closed. To dose the pores, the subject most be introduced into an ioe cellar, where he spends ten minutes in absolute agony, but relative bliss, for the next step is to drop bis exhausted form into Water heated to 180 degree?. In this the pores open, the ohlorine grapples the coloring matter and departs with it, and oar colored brother is co? lored no more. A Word to Democrat*. We have no doubt a large majority of Demoorats favor the endorsement of Greeley and Brown at Baltimore. The nomination of Mr. Greeley by the Oin oinnati Convention took the Democracy, SB it did everybody else, by surprise, but it turns out to have been tue most popu? lar that oould have been made. It was a fortunate accident, or, looking at it from an orthodox Btand-point, it seems te have been a special interposition of Provi? dence-an interposition for the salvation of the country. While it is almost, if not quite, certain that our convention will endorse the Liberal candidates, and reoommend them to thu cordial support of Demo? crats throughout the nation, we regret to observe there are here and there De? moorats bitterly opposed to Greeley, who insist that a straight tiokot shall be put into the field. Even some Demo? oratio newspapers are strenuously urging that course. As it is manifestly of the greatest consequence to the friends of Gen. Grant that such a course shall be pursued, it may possibly bo true, as has been oharged, that in some instances the oondnot of politicians and papen is at? tributable to improper influences, but in the great majority of such cases we are satisfied it is only the judgment that ie in fault. The Democrat who oppos?e the polioy of concurring in the action ol the Ginoinnati Gonvention, is very likely to get right between now and the time for the assembling of the Baltimore Convention. Such Democrats, we have reason to hope, will, ezoept perhaps in rare and exceptional oases, become con? vinced of the error into whioh they have fallen. It must be so, when the interest of the party and the country, and mo? especially of the South, ooma to bi calmly and deliberately considered. Nearly all the opposition comes fro nc the North, for there ia little difference of opinion among Southern Demoorats, We do not pretend to say Mr. Yoorheee and those who have taken position witt him are not Demoorats. We do know that their course is, to say the least, ox oeedingly injudicious, but not until w< see what aotion they take on the 9th o July and thereafter, can we render om verdict with justice. If they acquiesce with a good graoe in what is done, al will be well; if not, they eau no longe; lay claim to the character or the name o Demoorats. Muoh will depend on the unanimity and harmony of the proceedings at Haiti more. If those proceedings go off a they onght to do, General Grant's defea may be looked on as a settled thing. I ia almost certain that in the event o Greeley's nomination an effort will b made to get up a bolt. The faot is note rious that a number of Radical emit sarie3 were at the Cincinnati Convention and it can hardly bo doubted that th power of the Administration is suffioien to secure some representation at Balti more. We may ex peet that a few wolve in sheep's clothing will be there. Sc nator Chandler not long ago declare that he would willingly contribut $25,000 out of his own pocket towards straight nomination; and Presider Grant, possessing even a deeper in tores and having free access to the publi purse, will not scruple to avail him self of overy means of influencing soc a result, or something as near it as poi sible. The relianco for organizing a suoceBi fol bolt, in the event of Greeley's norn nation at Baltimore, is mainly on men bera of the party from the Norther States, for the Radical leaders oompn bend thoroughly that the insane oom eels of such Southern men as Stephei and Forsyth are estimated by the Sontl ern Democracy precisely at what the are worth. We cannot and do not b Iieve that our Northern friends will gil tho aid and oomfort to the Radica which they hope for, for we are pe suaded that the great majority of Nortl ern Demoorats comprehend the situi tion. AU who are worthy of the nan desire that snoh action shall be taken i will redound to the welfare of the pari and the country. We ask Northern Democrats who o] pose Mr. Greeley to divest themselves i prejudice and dispassionately oousidi the case. The unanimity of tho Soutl ern people should go for something wil them. The absolute necessity of pr venting Gen. Grant'a re-eleotion, at the continued domination of the Bad cal party, have been brought home the people of the South. Greeley pr 8ents the opportunity, and they are pr foundly anxious that the opportun! shall not be negleoted. It is a matter life and death to the South. Mr. Gre ley, as the representative of the conser ative and sound principles enunciated the resolutions of the Cincinnati Co vention, and his letter aooapting the n mination, promises relief to them fro all their woes, and in their behalf \ ask that none of our Northern frien will assist in depriving them of suoh i lief. The tariff question is unquestionab one of interest, and nuder ordinary o oumstaaoos would out an importa figure in the Presidential campaign. ( that question the Demooraoy of t South are in unison with the free tra men in the Northern States; but thc are other issues of so muoh greater ni ment, that, in their estimation, the tai sinks into insignificance. Mr, Greek although differing from Demoorats his ideas of proteotion, is so profounc impressed, aa the Southern Democra aro, with the greater importance of t other questions, that he proposes throw it out of the canvass altogetb He proposes, in view of the far mt pressing necessity of putting an end the carpet-bag system at the South, a of the restoration of constitutional f vernment to all sections, to waive t tariff issue altogether. Surely Den orats ought not to hesitate.g?D is not bo believed that those who have been lavish in professions of sympathy i now willing, when a prospect of reliei presented, to sacrifice the Southern p pie, and tbat, too, without the remotest chance of advantage to themselves. The other objections made to Mr. Greeley are equally without weight. His antecedents are as nothing oompared with the necessity of establishing in the administration of national affairs the principles he represents. No one can labor under the inconceivable delusion that a strict adberenoe to party tradi? tions and prejudices, though inevitably loading to defeat, is preferable to the Sructical ascendancy of fundamental lemooratio principle. The Democratic party, through all the evil times in which we have been living of late years, bas steadily insisted on a return to constitutional government. To this Mr. Greeley is pledged. This in the broadest plank in bis platform. Since such is the case, what, then, mat? ters it what im position has been on past and exploded inanes? Greeley's election would settle the very corner-stone of Democracy firmly in its place. Greeley or Grant will be the next Pre? sident of the United States. Tho selec? tion between them undoubtedly involves freedom or slavery at the South. And we warn the people of the Northern States that the eame despotic and cen? tralizing policy nuder which the South suffers will, in the end, if carried out unchecked to its legitimate conclusion, inevitably come home to them, also. Be-eleuo Grant, and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, military rule and usurpation throughout the country will be merely a question of time. If Radical policy had brought a thousand th part of the ruin and desolation to the North that it has entailed on the South, the country would be unanimous for a cuu?ge of rolers. As it is, we cannot permit ourselves to doubt that the Demo? cratic party will do its doty by the Sooth, by the coontry, and by the cause of constitutional government. f Louisville Courier-Journal. AVOIOB FROM RADICALISM.-We have urged that the South has lees to fear from Horace Greeley than from Grant. Opposed to our opinions are a few De? mocratic journals, who say there is no choice between the two for the South. Certain it is, that what the Radicals fear most, and strive hardest against, is the success of the men and the measures that look to lifting the yoke from our necks, and the insuring a Democratic triumph. The New York Times-Radi? cal to the core-publishes the proceed? ings of a "crowded meeting" of tbe Seventeenth Assembly District Republi? can Association, on the 23d in6t. Now read what the said crowded meeting re? solves Mr. Greeley to be: "Whereas, The Cincinnati Convention having nominated as their standard bearer in the coming Presidential cam? paign the bondsman of the traitor Jeff. Davis; and whereas, tho loyal people of the country do not think the time has yet arrived to reward traitors and their allies, it is "Resolved, By the Republican Associa? tion of the Seventeenth Assembly Dis? trict of New York, that we have entire faith in the integrity and wisdom of our Chief Executive, Gen. U. S. Grant, and that we have not forgotten Vicksburg and Appomattox, and we still love and honor the noble hero who carried onr flag from victory to victory and saved the Republ e. "Resolved, That we say to the rebel Sooth now, as we said to them before, that we intend to fight it ont on this line for four years more, and that the Re? publican party of this district have no affiliation with trading politicians, and those who desire to compromise with the armed foes of our country. "Resolved, That we believe that the nomination of Horace Greeley was made in the interest of the Democratic party, and as we are for reform, we do not pro? pose to assist in any way Tammany Hall thieves or their friends. "Resolved, That in Gratz Brown, fer vice-President, we see a man who (as Governor) cannot control his own State and stop murders, and would not be able to do so with the nation. "Resolved, That this Association, recog? nizing the ability, patriotism and fear? less advocate in its worthy President, Col. Joel W. Mason, are prood to know that he will represent thia district at the Philadelphia Convention, and we re? spectfully request him to uso his best efforts for the nomination, as a candidate for re-election of the honest soldier, Gen. U. S. Grant, believing him entitled to oar confidence, respect and continued sopport." These resolutions were unanimously adopted. We submit the question: Who offers the most to the Sooth, the cominee of the Liberal platform of the Cincinnati Convention, who is believed by tho Radicals to be elected in onr in? terests, or the "honest soldier," U. S. Grant, whose supporters breathe forth saoh enmity as is expressed above against the Sooth? [Augusia Conslilulionalist. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.-On Wednes? day, at the plantation on John's Island leased and cultivated by Mr. G. J. Aa dell, a murderous assault was made by one of the colored employees on another. The assailant went to tho house of his viotim, and shot bim with a gun, wound? ing him, it is thought, fatally. The per? petrator of the deed seemed to feel jus? tified, and made no attempt to escape, and was arrested.-Charleston Courier. SHAMEFUL.-There were twenty De? mocrats absent from the Honse of Rep? resentatives on Tuesday, when the Ru Klux bill, the negro equality bill, and the enforcement bill were defeated. No thanks to the absentees. Sunset Cox was eiok abed.
