COLUMBIA. S. C. Thursday Horning, July ll, 1872. Tiie Action ot the Convention. The work of the Baltimore Conven? tion ia done, and the expectations and desires of the conservative elements throughout the country fully realized. The endorsement of Greeley and Brown has been considered a foregone conda sion for some time; but even tho most sanguine scarcely dared hope that it would be done BO unanimously and so harmoniously. 'vit augurs well for tbo final success of the Liberal movement, for the gravest canse of fear all along has been the possible failure of thorough unanimity in the Democratic, party. Now, that they have, with ono accord and such marked enthusiasm, ratified the nominees of the Cincinnati Conven? tion and accepted its platform in toto by such an overwhelming majority, there is no reason to apprehend that all the ele? ments of opposition to Grantism will not be as nearly consolidated as they ?could possibly be. There ie, therefore, nothing to 'regret so far. Everything has been done whioh could or should /have been done, and done wisoly and 'well. The nomination of Mr. Greeley, whioh was ot first a source of grave apprehen? sion, to many, has proved to be a most fortunate event. He has developed im? mense popularity, and seems to grow in favor as the hoars increase. Every step, indeed, in tho Liberal movement from its inauguration to the present time bas boon a success, whioh proves at once that it baa been direoted by sagacious ?counsel, and that it is tho outgrowth of <a wide-spread popular desire. The peo ,ple are tired of war, war measures, war policies, and sectional hatred and strife, and are anxious for a restoration of friendly and confidential relations be? tween the States, and a return to the ways of peace, and order? and economy, And civil law. We are more and more convinced every day that the^occaaion is ripe, and that the right man has been selected for the emergenoy in honest Horace Gree? ley. At this time,'the prospect is sorely most highly encouraging, nnd it seems that we can predict, with almost mathe? matical certainty, that Greeley and Brown mast receive a handsome majority of the eleotoral vote. If they are elected, then we may hope that the de? spondent and oppressed Soath, whose candidate Greeley especially is, will be restored to her fall rights in the Unon, and South Carolina be speedily relieved of her accursed carpet-bag mis-rule, whioh the sympathy of Grant's adminis? tration has alone sastuined thas far. Since the action of the Baltimore Con? vention, il may be safely conceded that the entire 3,000,000 of Democratic votes is certain for Greeley and Brown. ? few hundred thousand more of Liberal Re? publican votes will elect them. These there is every reason to believe that tbey will get from the Middle and North? western States, and we can scarcely ?doubt bat that tbey have sufficient Re? publican backing to insure the doubtful ?States of New Hampshire and Connecti? cut. The Liberal Republicans whom it is believed have been in large numbers awaiting the issue of the Baltimore Con? vention before declaring for Greeley, will now deoiare their support and add new impetus to the movement. Tbe postmasters in the North and West ore said to be practicing the same dodge now that was resorted to by Yan Bnren's officials when he was running the second time for the Presidency-that of forbid? ding the transmission of franked elec? tioneering documente, where such docu? ments are in the interest of opponents of the Administration. President Yan Buren was not re-eleoted. THE COLORED VOTE.-A colored man writincr from Broomfield, Ky., says: "I write to say that I am a Greeley man from the gratitude of my heart, for bis life of labor apent in behalf of my race, fiend me some campaign documents, and I shall work for Greeley and Brown-if I have ta beg my bread and walk from town to town to speak." Delegates to the convention from the South, say that the more intelligent and honest colored men there .will vote for Grepley, but the great mass, yet in their ignorance, be? lieve the "man of the sword" to have been their: apostle and liberator, and hence will vote for Grant. If Mr. Gree? ley is elected, however, it is believed .that the unity of the colored vote, in tho hands of politicians using it for their own ends, will ever afterwards be broken. A challenge from tho owner of Gold? smith Maid for a matoh with Dexter, Joe Elliott, or any other fast horse of Bonner's (for $5,000 to$6,000) appears in the New York Spirit of the limes. If the race for a "consideration" is declined the owner of the Maid proposes that the race be for the first honor of the American track. The Old White Hal is the latest cam? paign poper. A TERRIBLE ADVENTURE.-The Detroit Free Press has the following: "A most exciting event occurred on Thnrsdny near Sand Hill, In this Coun? ty. About noon of that day, Rev. W. H. James, while standing in his front door, discovered a negro, entirely naked, running at great speed directly toward the house. Tho ' reverend geutloman, upon recovering from tho momentary shock whioh tho appearance of the ap? parition occasioned, shouted to him to stop. He kept right on, however, ut? terly heedless of the warning. Upon reaching the door-step ho stopped, plant? ed hiniB?lf in an attitude of defiance, and raising his right hand higb above his head, uttered an unearthly shriek. He then turned soddenly and ran to? ward a school-house a short distance up the road. The teacher happened to seo him in time to get the doors and win? dows fastened before he reached tbo building. He came up with a rush and threw his burly frame with ull his possi? ble force against the door. It withstood his efforts, however, and after prowling around a few minutes, be continued his race farther up the road by which he oame. "His next attack was at the house of a farmer, named David Coltrain. This house is situated a considerable distance from the highway, and when the negro sprang over tho fence he was seen by Mr. Coltrain and his daughter, a yonng lady of perhaps eighteen years. Mr. Coltrain, presuming that the man was insane, procured a board about three feet long, six inohes wide, and an inch thick, with which to defend himself. He took position in the doorway, and his daughter retired to an inner room. As the maniac (for such he must be consi? dered) drew near the house, he again gave utterance to one of his dreadful shrieks, and without slackening his speed in the least, precipitated himself upon Mr. Ooltrain. That gentleman shouted to hie daughter to hide herself, and manfully went into the fight. The black fiend first dealt him a terrible blow fall in the face, and then the two closed iu a xl espora to struggle. Around | and around the room they went, Col train still holding on to the board, giv? ing his enemy, whenever his grasp re? laxed, a blow with it, but without appa? rent effect, except to render bim more ferocious. "Desperate as his chances were, Coltrain fought for his life until exhausted, and the madman finally secured possession of the board. He dashed and screamed and flourished the formidable weapon a moment, and then, with tremendous force, struck Coltrain under the chin, driving bis under teeth into the upper jaw so as to fasten both jaws together so tightly aa to prevent him from opening his mouth, besides crushing the lower jaw-bone aa though it had been honey? comb. The yelling devil, as if tho sight of his victim's agony only increased his ferocity, belabored him on the hoad and body, bruising his chest badly and sever? ing a blood-vessel ou the head.' By this time Coltrain had lost consciousness. His daughter; who had meanwhile faint? ed and recovered, looked into the room where tho encounter had taken placa and saw the negro standing over her pros? trate father. Nerved to daring by tho awful spectacle, the brave girl seized a chair, stepped softly up behind the mur? derer, and strtiok him on the head. Without even stopping to ascertain whence the blow carno he leaped tbroug'i {a window, rau across the yard, und started on thu back track down the road. Somu mea who were at work in the vi? cinity of his last attack pursued him with clubs and guns, and finally succeeded in capturing him. He surreudered quietly enough when they had overtakeu him, but while they wore couvoying bim to ii secure place ho endeavored to break away. His captors were on tho lookout for such u demonstration, and one of them threw a brick at him, striking bim on thc head, but without inflicting seri? ous barm. Ho was subsequently turned over to Deputy Sherill Sohuffert, who furnished him with a pair of punts and a shirt and brought him to the city Fri? day night. "Mr. Coltrain had uot recovered con? sciousness up to Saturday noon, aud the surgeons who are in attendance give lit? tle hope that he will long survive bis in? juries." FATAL EFFECT OF A STROKE OF LIGHT NINO.-We have been informed by a friend from Cabarrus, that on Snnday i morning last, while Mr. John Edams, I with his wife and children, was sitting in his house, he was struck by lightning and instantly killed; his wife near by was also, it is feared, fataly burned. The stroke came down the ohimney, and after doing the above mentioned harm, passed through the floor and killed the watob-dog and several chickens under the house. Mr. Eddie's children were in the same room with their parents, and at the time of the accident, one of them was leaning on the knee of the father, and strange to relate,- neither it or any of the others reoeived the least injury. A dootor was at once sent for, bat from the latest information he has not yet been able to restore the mother to consciousness. The house was badly torn to pieces, but fortunately not set on fire.-Charlotte Observer. CONFUSION OF TONQUES.-A corres? pondent of the New York Tribune, writ? ing from Geneva, furnishes some oarious particulars eonoerning the board of ar? bitration, in session in that city. It is somewhat amusing to learn that this grave congress of diplomatists posBesa no language in common, even French be? ing an unknown tongue to one or two of the members. The Charlotte Southern Rome says: Laat Saturday, a son of Wm. Hope, seven years of age, was bitten by a rat? tlesnake, near Linoolnton Paper Mills, iu Linooln County, in this State; and notwithstanding every effort was made to save the boy's life, he died three hours after he was bitten.

DEATH FROM A SINGULAR CAUSE.-Th Columbus Sun, of Saturday, relates th followiug: A gentleman told us yesterday tb overseer of tbe Wright river plautatio met his death strangely a lew days agc As he was entering his house, a favorit dog, in the joy of meeting him, leape upon him and otherwise signified his dc light nt seeiDg his master. While gan holing, one of the paws of the animi scratched the owner's arm above th wrist. lu a short time tho arm began t swell, and mortification aud death et sued. Tho tear of tho flesh wus ver slight-hardly noticeable. Poor Marshal Bazaine is said to I troubled with a dismal presentiment thi his trial will result in Ins conviction, au that President Thiers will order him I be shot within twenty-four hours aft? his sentence has been pronounced. Six POUNDS OP DIAMONDS STOLEN. - | CAPE TOWN, May 18.-The steamship William Miller leaves in a few hours for , New York, nuil I grasp tho opportunity i to send you particulars of tho greatest : postal robbery ever known at this shauk- j end of the world. Whilst I am writing ! this, there aro a number of diamond ! dealers conversing fwnticully outside my j window in thu most evident state of j funk, for tliny have no information us ti? wbo aro tho unlucky bini? who have diamonds in the post doo here on Thurs day. lu fact, no ono kuows very much about it. The thief or thieves wero too : careful for that. They have just wulked : oil with about ?100,0U0 in diamonds and paper currency, ami left the virtu- j ous to imagine how it wa? done. lu my lost, per Hula, I gave you a brief sketch of DeBeers, New Rush, which n year ugo was described us tho richest eput ou all tho earth. The amount of diamonds which have been taken out of that Kopio would furnish u dozen or two of crowus to all tho crowned heuds of the world. It was the most profitable rush ever rando, except this lust one. This ?100,000 rush wus about the easiest way of making mouey that eau well be ima? gined. The post otfico ut DeBeers is a stately building, us large as a sentry-box, constructed of such costly material ns old piuo-wood, and of the muguilicont desigu uf a ship's cook house. It luoms up majestically in comparison with thu fatuous Pig and Whistle opposite it, where a captain in her Majesty's Lan? cers is bar-rnun, uud a luto captain in her Majesty's foot line is waiter. It will, tlier,?fore, be sceu that its situation is elegant and its neighborhood aristocratic. On Thursduy, tho Otu uf May, Ascen? sion Day, the post of Cape Town was an exceedingly valuable one. It is difficult to toll how valuable. It is certain that it contained six pounds weight uf diamonds, and the value of this with mouey orders, bank notes aud other cur? rency is roughly estimated from ?30,000 to ?100,000. The mails were mude up and heaped by a window only fastened by u bolt without the security of shutters or rods. The postmaster was absout from his office fur teu minutes. As he says, it wus all doue in ten minutes, the surmise, therefore, is, that be was nut in the building. Perhaps he had gone on a visit to his aristocratic friends uver the way. At any rate, during the ton un unies n pane uf glass was taken uut of the wiuduw, the bolt drawn back, the window opened aud the bag walked ul! with. That terrible fire in Chicago did not dash faster over that city, rousing all the energy und feelings of distress uf the. inhabitants, tbau did the news uf the robbery ut the Rush. Nearly all were directly or indirectly interested, und an amateur detective force, hundreds strut g, was ul. ouce organized and com? menced searching for the thief. Tbe detectives searched and searched; the post was detained for some hours, but ull m vain. Not the slightest clue had the robber left behind him, and it is ques? tionable whether after the long start he had be will ever be fouud out. If he eau only manage to get clear of the letters, having tho diamonds in his pockets, he will be all right. There is, of course, great consterna? tion in the country. We have been loog suspecting that our mnils, as unprotected as they are, whilst passing over some wild tract of country, wuuld have been robbed fur thc sake of the diamonds which are knuwn to be sent in large quantities by tho post. Tho post-cart is a dismal box-like arrangement on two wheels, and is generally drawn by twu animals, who evidently over-do Banting. The driver, a Hottentot, who ut night is just so drunk that it is a murvel that he keeps bis seat, and during the day is somnambulistic from thc night's de? bauch. It is passing strauge that some inventive genius hus nut taken the rise out of thu driver uud the diamonds out of the mails before this. Butthe?100, 000 haul will no doubt develop somo of thu scientific capabilities of light-fiui?er od gents, und some of tho blessings uf civilization will dawn ou this beuighted land. The Govemmeut is being pretty cuusiderably blasphemed un account uf ito hand somo postal structure at DeBeers, aud if the thief is not captured I con? jecture that the postmaster stands u very favorable opportunity of being lynched. NEW GRAU ron KNOW-NOTIIINGISM. There has recently been started in tho State of South Carolina au Order bear? ing the title I. O. U. B., the headquar? ters of which is at Columbia. It has its signs, passwords and grips, and its ritu? al has been drawn from that used by the old Know-Nothing organization. No foreigner can become a member. It is re? cognized by the present Radical leaders in this State, and embraces within its members hundreds in every County. Each lodge or council is fully officered; the meetings are held weekly or month? ly, as circumstances may dictate. The principal feature in the obligation which it imposes upon its membership is, that none but those of American birth shall be eligible for any office, or shall receive the support of the order, looking to that end. - Charleston Republican. STORM ON LONG CANE.-A severe storm of wind, rain and lu.il passed over the County in the neighborhood of Bradley's Mill, on Monday of last week. Fences were blown down, and the growing crops suffered considerable damage. The stables ou Mr. R. H. McCaslan's place were turucd over, and, for n short time, tho storm was furious.
