COLUMBIA. S. C. Tarsday Moraine. June 13, 1872. The ?Force Bill." We aro opposed, as a matter of princi? ple, to any assumption, by tho General Government, of power to oontrol and supervise elections. The rights of tho SUtes to manage the elections within their limits is a most important one, in enabling them to maintain theil proper degree of independence toward tho General Government, and to chsok that tendency to centralization, which was a matter of the gravest concern to the founders of this Republic. The passions and the exigencies of war, lust of power sud a fanatical devotion to party by the Radicals, have greatly. weakened the wholesome restraints of the Constitution, and thrown our Government headlong in tho direotion of centralization. This forco bill intermeddling with and super ceding the authority of tho States in managing elections, is ono of tho most daring and appalling; enoroaehments upon the reserved rights of the States. Bat it is nc vu unmixed evil. It will be . salutary ia some respects/ It is a good thing dono in on improper manner. Congress has, by tho ase of unconstitu? tional and usurped power, undertakou to do that which, if doae by the proper authority, would be highly commenda? ble. Tho foroe bill is, unquestionably, wrong in prinoiple and dangerous as a precedent, and we do not like to give it even a qualified approval; but there is no doubt that, as amended, it will bo of benefit in this State aud io others where the local officials aro dishonest and un? scrupulous. It does not, as we under? stand the amendments as reported in our telegraphic despatches of Tuesday, givo the oontrol of tho elections to the President or to any of his dependents or subordinate officials. The Circuit nnd Distriot Judges, who, as a rule, are gen? tlemen of high character, and not such as can be used as corrupt partisan tools, aro invested with tho power of appoint? ing the supervisors of election. This they are to do upon application of ten or more voters, at least ten days prior to an election or registration. Tho supervisors-two in number-aro to be selected one from eaoh political party, which is of itself the best gua? rantee we can have that the voting or registration will be conducted honestly and fairly. At our last State and Con? gressional elections, the most wholesale frauds were perpetrated. Tho ballot boxes at many precincts were stuffed, and thousands of oolored boys under age wore allowed to vote. In Newberry County alone, it is said by those who should know, and of whose judgment and voraoity there is no question, that at least 500 colored boys under twenty one years of age voted the Radical ticket, and it is estimated thai at least 10,000 or 15,000 fraudulent votes were polled. Thia was done nader the ma? nagers appointed by Gov. Scott, himself a candidate for ro e!notion. With ma? nagers or supervisors of both political parties, whatever these parties may be, appointed by Judge Bryan, such rascali? ties cannot be repeated, aud we will have, perhaps, the best possible security that no illegal votes will be reoeived, sad that there will be no staffing the boxes, nor over-count ia any way. The e?eotion laws of this State seemed framed solely with a view to fraud. There was au apparent effort made at the last session to amend them, and some alterations were made. The im? provements, however, if any at all, were very slight, aud the General Assembly showed, by striking out all those provi? sions which most effectually guard against fraud, and which could not pos? sibly havo resulted ia harm to any honest candidate or party, that a fair election was to them a minor considera? tion to party success. GRANT STOCK DEOUNraa.-The Beau? fort Republican has hoisted a Greeley flag, and declares that a Grant success in the coming election would be a victory of all that is selfish, mean and degrading in politics; that his election would strengthen every incomp?tent, reckless, dishonest adventurer and scalawag who has been lifted into place and power by the social and political upheaval incident to reconstruction in tho South; that as to a ohoico between Grant oud Greeley, it will unhesitatingly support the latter ss a better man and a better Republican. Tho Americus Republican soyu that Georgia will go solidly for Greeley and Brown. * Tho Charleston Daily Republican, ia aa article addressed moro particularly to the colored people, says wo want them to kaow that it is their duty, their bounden duty, to support and placo ia power tho mau that has for a life-time so willingly worked for their good aud salvation. Persia famishes no more. Water is now abundant and crops magnificent. The Convention. Tho Statu Demooratio Convention has asRambled, porformed its allotted task and diaporeed. We were opposed to the oall of the Convention and to the send* ing of delegates to Baltimore, for reasons which we have stated, and do not caro now to rehearse. It cannot prevent, the evils we anticipated, to dwell upon them now, but "it might aid, to some extent, in their development. We shall, there? fore, be silent on that score, and hope for tho best. The personnel of tho Convention was excellent-good, staunoh, reliable, able and patriotic citizens. About half tho Counties of tho Stato sent delegatos; but in one respect the Convention un? doubtedly represented tho united public sentiment of the entire white people of the State. This was in tho enthusiastic spirit in whioh tho Liberal Republi? can movement was greeted, and the hearty support which we all givo to Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown. We wish no other, we will have no other candidates so long aB they remain in the field, which, wo believe, will be nntil Uncle Horace enters the White House. Tho people of South Carolina, at any rate, are sick of suoh political catch? phrases as "fundamental principles," "party creed," et idomne genus. This is no hour for fine-spun theories and politi? cal hair-splitting, when a tyrant's hand is upon our throats, while his tools are thrusting their thievish claws into our pockets. Wo care not that Horace Gree? ley opposed slavery, or that he oriod "On to Richmond!" or that he favors a pro? tective tariff. He is an honest, able, courageous and kindly man, and that is sufficient qualifications for a President in this emergenoy. Those who stickle for moro, who insist upon having a man for President who, besides tho qualifications Mr. Greeley is acknowledged to pos? sess, must entertain and advocate their peculiar political crotchets, have never realized the evils of Grant's misrule. They should take a short trip to South Carolina, and looking boro upon our utterly rotten State Government, our penniless Treasury, our fat officials, our tax-burdened people and our ruined State, bear in mind that this is all the work of Grant and his supporters. Hore their polioy of hate has been carried un? impeded and nnontrammoled to full fruition. They havo done with South Carolina just as they willed. Tho full perfection of their diabolical schemes may be seen here in the degradation and bankruptcy of what was once as honora? ble, high-toned and prosperous a State aB the foremost in the Union. Scott and his confreres are the pets and darling pride of Radicalism. Graat has sympathized with, encouraged, and oven supported with his bayonets, the thieves and swindlers who have plundered our State. They are his creatures, he made them, he sustained them, and he still continues to love and cherish thom. They would not be here to-day, flaunt? ing their ill-gotten gains in tho faces of the victims of their robbery, wcro it not for the protection which ho affords. How FAB AND HABD SOME MEN CAN F AL. ii.-Among tho speakers at the Phi? ladelphia Convention was ex-Gov. James L. Orr, of South Carolina, who, in tak? ing the platform to pledge his State for Grant, is said to have referred to the slanders to which the Government had been subjected, and compared bis expe? rience in this respect with that of Wash? ington and Jackson. He eulogized the President, whose re-election he consi? dered neoessary. If Grant had failed as President, Orr liked suoh failures. He dilatod at some length on tho operations of Ku Klaxism in the South, sustained Ka Klux legislation, aud claimed the laws had boon fairly aud firmly sustained. Tho report failed to mention whether a sympathetic "Couch" supported tho ex-Governor (as oa a former occasion) whilo ho shed tears of joy over tho pri? vilege afforded him of being aa instru? ment to aid ia the effort to ooasiga tho wronged and oppressed people of poor South Carolina to four years more of military terrorism. Who acted as "bot? tle-holder" for the patriotic blubberer? for he surely did not allow such aa op? portunity for a good hearty ory to pass unimproved ; and if he did lot that big soul of his dissolve itself, as is his wont, wo aro quite euro that the offices of nn attentive and sympathetic "bottlo-bold er" wero essential frequently, if not of? tener.-Augusta Chronicle. DWELLING AND CORN CHID BUUNED. About two hours before day, on Thurs? day morning last, Mr. J. J. Brittou's dwelling uud corn crib, oa his farm, six milos South of Sumter, were entiroly consumed by fire. Whoa discovered, both buildings were partially ia flames tho fire oyideatly having ita origin si? multaneously in both, and leaving but little room to doubt that it was kindled by incendiary hands. The loss, in addi? tion to tho buildings, involves all the cora oa the place, (about 150 bushels,) together with peas, cotton seed, farm implements, &o., covered by about two thirds insurance. Neither Mr. Britton or his family were on tho place at the time of the fire.-Sumter Watchman. There aro 4,672 persons still seeking relief from tho Chicago Roliof and Aid Society. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION-SECOND DAY.-Owing to delay on the part of the committees, tho Convention did not as? semble until half-past 9 o'clock-at which hour President Porter called the body to order. The State Central Executive Commit? tee surrendered their trust to the Con? vent iou -tho committee having been ! superseded by tho appointment of the oommitteo of one from ea.h County? Accepted. Messrs. J. J. Lucan, of Darlington, and Marlow Coobrau, (oolored,) of Charleston, appeared and took their soats as delegates. Mr. O'Connor, Chairman of tho Com? mittee on Resolutions, reported, recoui meudiug the appointment of four dolo? mites from each Congressional District uud eight from the State ut large to the National Demooratio Convention in Bal? timore-the delegates from the Congres? sional Districts to bu selected by tho sevoral delegations respectively, aud those from the State at largo by the bal? lots of the Convention. Adopted. The Cummittee on Platform and R?so? lutions, to whom were referred suudry resolutions declaratory of the sense of tho Convention, reported and recom? mended the adoption of the following: Resolved, That this Convention recog? nizes the movement which WUB organized at Cincinnati, on the 4th of May last, r e the only one, in this crisis, calculated to secar o civil liberty and restore local self government. Resolved, That this Convention ao oepts the Cincinnati platform as broad, liberal and just to all portions and classes and citizens of the republic. Resolved, That it is tho sense of this Convention, that the interest of tho whole oountry requires that no separate and distinct Democratic nomination should be made by the Baltimore Con? vention, and the delegates appoiuted by this body aro hereby instructed to oppose such nomination. Messrs. E. F. Stokes und J. R. Law? son submitted a minority report-setting forth that the Democratic party should bo represented in the Baltimore Conven? tion, and in a leugthy and rambling speech of nearly au hour's duration, ventilated his ideas-pitching into the members of the Conventien. The report was laid upon tho tablo by an almost unanimous vote. The mujority report was unanimously adopted. On motion of General Kennedy, tho Convention then procoedod to tho nomi? nation. The following ie the result: STATE AT LARGE-Messrs. James F. Izlar, Simoon Fair, W. H. Wallace, E. M. Law, W. D. Porter, Wm. Aiken, Jos. Chesnut, T. B. Fraser. 1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT-John B. Mooro, F. F. Warley, Henry Mciver, Wm. Connor. 2D CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT-M. P. O'Connor, T.Y. Simons, S. S. Solomons, Wm. Whaley. 3D CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT-Jamee S. Cothrao. James P. Adams, H. A. Meetze, A. D. Frederick. 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT-E. C. McLure, T. W. Woodward, R. M. Sims, W. E. Holcombe. The Chairman called to the nttentior of the Convention the resignation of the State Executive Committee, aud askec what action tho Convontion would tak< in the matter. General Chesnut moved for the pre sent, no action be taken. This was opposed by Mr. Stokes, o? the ground that if it should bo neoes sary to call the Committee again toge ther, there would be no one to do it, ant therefore hoped that either the old Com mitteo would hold over, or a new om eleoted. General Butler moved to amend, b; proposing thut the Chairman, at hi. leisure, appoint a Committee of Fifteen to carry out the views of this body Adopted. On motion of Mr. Warley, tho Com mittee then resolved itself into a Com mitteo Of the Whole-Hon. Jas. Ches nut in the Chair. Adopted. On motion of Mr. Warloy, a r?solu tion was unanimously adopted, that th thanks of this Convention aro due, an< aro hereby tendered, to Hon. W. D Porter, for the able and dignified man uer in which he has presided over th deliberations of this body. On re-oooupying the Chair, the reso lntion was presented to Chairman Por ter by Mr. Chesnut, in a fow complimen ta ry remarks. Mr. Porter responded as follows: GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: RC cuive my thanks for the expression o your satisfaction at tho manner in whiol the duties of tho Chair have been dis charged. We met as friends, we wil part as friends, and retain only a plea saut recollection of our assemblage an intercourse boro. I sincerely hopo goni will come of our deliberations. W stand in need of hopo and bein. But w must first help ourselves, and somothiu has beon dono in this direction. W will now put ourselves in sympathy am active co-operation with tho great Dome eratic party of tho country-a part; which has fought many a bravo butti for our rights and for civil liberty, am which, too, has had to encouutor groa clifliculties and to sustain much obloqu in BO doing. Wo must bo just to them and realize tho stress of the position i which they hnvo boen placed during an since tho war. I am sure wo do nc gonerally understaud tho burden thc have hud to curry. If ice have be?; subjected to insults and indignities, s have th".}/. Lot us moet them us friend and brethren, and lay open to them ou hearts, and foul the boatings of theirs i response. Lot us tell them tho story c our humiliation and suffering; the wrong and grievances of a people who, by con mon acknowledgment, are frank, trot hearted and honest, and who, whatovc thoir faults, play fair with friond un foe; and then appeal to thom to tab with us the only way that we can soo fe our deli veraneo and resoue. The very unanimity of onr sentiment will be our strongest appeal, and it cannot be but that they will heed it. * The Cincinnati movement was a spon? taneous, unbought outburst against in? tolerable corruption and tyranny. Its j platform is broad and catholic; its nomi? nees are honest and out-spoken. It meets tho necessities of tho day, and points the way to a re-union of all good and true men, for the reinstatement of honest local government, and tho con? stitutional guaranties of personal and civil liberty. Let tho Democrats of the country throw themselves into tho move? ment, with tho great and irresistible mo? mentum of their powerful organization, and they will swell the ranks and wiu the glory of a grand crusade for the res? cue of our down-trodden land. If they fail to do this, I see no exodus for us from our land of bondage. But let ua bo of good cheer aud brave heart. Bet? ter omens are around us. Tho day is beginning to dawn. A vista of relief ia opened to us. Let us do manfully what seems to us honuruble and right, and trust tho rost to a beneficent Providence. Gentlemen, again I thunk you, and wish you each a safe and happy return to your homes. Ou motion of Mr. Daggett, tho thanks of the Convention wore returned to the Secretary, for tho prompt and efiieieut manner with which he bad discharged his duties. On motion of Mr. Whuley, the Con? vention, at half-pust 10 o'clock, adjourn? ed sine die. ERRONEOUS IDEAS OF MR. GREELEY. The man who oalis Greeley a farceur, or as being ono who naturally surrounds himself with that class, makes a blunder scarcely to be surpassed. Mr. Greeley may be tho cause of mirth in others, but for himself he is grave and earnest. Further, and although it may bo bard to overcome tho prejudice on this point, lie is a very dignified person, whose occa? sional lapses into the lieut of passion are not more frequent aud uotieeablo th un those of other mea. The stupid fashion ia which people havo persisted in regard? ing Mr. Greeley as a cross betweeu a bumpkin and a conscientious fool, almost passes oom prehension. The general idea of him has been that of an amiable sort of idiot-a monstrosity in any case, but particularly ridiculous wbou it is reflect? ed tbut this idiot ?3 the editor of the leading American newspaper, aud that ho hos, for thirty years, beeu a leader iu our politics. In the monotony and rigor of our public life, Mr. Greeley's strongly marked peculiarities mude bim a shining mark, which tho caricaturists and comic writers were not slow to im? prove. But these people, while they have made tho unthinking laugh, have very often made tho judioious grieve. One of the greatest bluaders surround? ing tho popularly received idea of Mr. Greeley is, that ho is au uncouth man. Nothing could bo further from the truth. He is, in fuot, a person of thorough and cultured manners, a man of the world, and well used to all the forms aud ob? servances of society. The personal characteristics of Mr. Greeley have like? wise boen absurdly caricatured. Instead of being the old slouch that he is uni? versally represented, he is one of tlc best dressed people to be met in a day's walk. What he might have been in younger days, in this respect, cannot be ! affirmed; but at this time we might just as reasonably accuse General Graut or Senator Sumuer of marked eccentricity in drees ns Mr. Greeley. Wo have, of coarse, no object in this other than, as far as ia us lies, to correct reports con? cerning an individual of whom it is ne? cessary to have thc clearest ideas obtaina? ble. It is not to say that Mr. Greeley should be President to deny that he is a clod-hoppbr and a scare-crow. [ Ph iladelph ia Telegraph. A HARDENED VILLAIN.-Texas has looked npon many heart-rending spec? tacles, but tho double hanging of tho notorious and hardened villaia, Stop. Bal lew, oa tho 2 Uh alt., far outstripped aaything ever beheld. About half-past 1 o'clock, the prisoner was led to the place of execution. H?B face woro a sullen aud cold-blooded look, and as he sat there calmly smoking a cigar while the officiating clergy were performing service, a thrill of horror crept over the multitude aa they witnessed such un? equaled coolness and dogged indiffer? ence. After a few short prayers, of which the prisoner took no notice, the sheriff announced that the prisoner had nothing to say, ho haviog positively de cliaed to utter a single word. The black cap having been drawa over his head, tho sheriff kaocked tho prop from under the trap, and tho heartless scoun? drel, Step. Ballew, was swinging in mid? air, paying the poaalty for tho cold blood murder of James P. Goldeo. Tho fall failed to break his neck. After Bwiogiog for fifteco minutes by a deter? mined effort, tho half hung mau was raised, tho noose tightened, and amid shouts of tho moro hardened attendants, Bellew was swung to tho winds a second time, and in thirty minutes ho was suc? cessfully hung and pronounced dead by the physicians. HASTY VISIT.-Tho notorious II. W. Hendricks, of Charleston, having beeu discharged by tho United States Court from imprisonment in Atlanta, readied Augusta ou his way homo, yesterday morning. Tho body snatoher was so anxious to get out of Georgia that ho crossed tho river immediately after his arrival and went to Hamburg, whore, it is said, ho took breakfast with the co? lored mayor.

CITI MATTERS.-The price of ningle oopios of the PHCENIX is five cents. Governor Scott hus appointed E. B. Seabrook, Esq., a Trial Just ico for Charleston County. The "champion of the,heavy weights of tho rural districts" excited the curi? osity of the news boys. A witty mem? ber of the Legislature was asked by one of these youths whether that was Horace Greeley, aud received au affirmative answer. Water-melons have appeared in Co? lumbia; but tho price is a little heavy one dollar. Wo aro iuformed that our fellow-citi? zen, G. T.

Gordon bas accepted an invitation to deliver the annual address before the literary so cieties of Davidson College-an institu? tion founded by the munificence of the late Wm. L:e Davidson, of Mecklen? burg, N. C., and afterwards richly en? dowed by others. It has an able faculty, and since the destruction by Radicalism of tho State institution at Chapel Hill, is in a very nourishing con? dition. PHONIXIANA.-Spots on the son: Freokles on your boy's face. A man objected to paying for a death notice in a newspaper, and demanded, "Why should marriage and death notices be paid for, anyhow?" "Because," re? plied the heartless publisher, "one is a notice of copartnership, and the othei of dissolution. Business is bu sin OBS.
