COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday HLorning, August 21,1872. For President of the United Slates. HORACE UHEKLET, of New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, of Missouri. , Th? Two Candidates. It is now generally understood that the two bent supported aspirants for the oi?ico of Governor before the Conven? tion, to-day, will be tho Hons. F. J. Moses, Jr., aud D. H. Chamberlain. Other ontries for the race will, doubt? less, bo made, but BO fur, these are the two favorites. Tho formor is snpposed bo have a large colored bricking, but ia 03pooiully the representativo of that class of our colored fellow-citizens who have becomo contaminut?d by ofllco during the last four years, and now think them? selves likely to obtain a better share of tho spoils uudor auch leadership. The latter ia par excellence tho ring's man. Backed by Scott, Parker, el id ovine genus, his hope lies iu the lougth of their purso. For tho rest, they uro both of them worthy repr?sentatives of their pestiferous constituencies-the arche? types of tho classes to which they seve? rally belong. It is scalawngism and car? pet-buggery reduced to tho last oualysis. It is pull Dick, pull Devil, over the pub? lic Treasury. Although not very pleasant for tax? payers to contemplate, it is not hard to see why these two men, of all others, have been brought into Buch promi? nence by their respective partisans. Moses is tho darling pride of tho corrap tionists, the idol of the lobby. Therein lies his strength. If the record made out for him by his, most trusty friends speakB bnt half the truth, ho comes for? ward foul with the prostitution of trusts which ho hos held for the lost four years, seeking only a broader field for the exer? cise of his dangerous talents. It is said, boldly charged by Republican speakers, that F. J. Moses has flooded the State with bogus pay certificates, amounting, as ii charged, to near a million of dollars. The Treasurer claims to have already paid out nearly $900,000 on these certificates. The cry is, still they como, and Heaven only kuowa how many hundreds of thou? sands are still out. In the matter of the arms account, too, the purchase of new guns, and the alteration of Springfield rifles to breech-loaders, &c, whioh busi? ness was entrusted to F. J. Moses, the State was chiselled out of near $200,000. Lastly, his name appears upon the un? explainable li?t of beneficiaries of the armed force fund, from which it seemB he received $11,000 for services which Beek not the light of day. Such are some of Dick's claims in the contest. Now, let us turn for a moment to the Devil. We beg pardon-it is not to the grosB conception represented by the dry Anglo-Saxon term that we com? pare our honorable Attorney-General, but to his Satanic Majesty, BS a creation of high art, to the subtle Mephistopheles. Now, as our readers know, we have al? ways had rather a predilection in Mr. Chamberlain's favor. We believe, God forgive us, that onoe we even inscribed his name upon the roll of Republicans whom we thought to be honest. A man of refined habits, cultivated tastes and undoubted intellectual force, it was hard not to discriminate between him and the coarser Bconndrels of his fellowship. But we have closely examined the reoord which his acts of offioe have made foi him, and are now forced to the unwill? ing but deliberate conclusion that he only differs from the others in this, that, being of au ro-ithetio nature, he has re duced hi? villainy to a lino art. This gentleman, however, ia a schemer of nc mean order. He has never descended, that we kuow of, to petty rascalities, But whenever bonds were to be manipu? lated, and the job became a question ol millions, the Attorney-General was sure to have his finger in the pie, although he has shrewdly managed to conceal hit share of the plums. It is not the least of Mr. Chamberlain's recommendation: to the ring, and offences against the peo pie, that ho was the first to discover that incarnation of fraud and engine of all iniquities, the ohernbio Eimpton; and now these two, perhaps more than anj others of the conspirators, stand respou sible for the $7,000,000, and more, thal have been fraudulently added to thc debt of tho State. Oar poor people have already beex ground to the earth by a double taxa tion in one fiscal year to feed the ring In many oases already they have seei their homesteads oonfisoatod under th? hammer of the tax collector. But thii waa only the beginning. When tho de mend is made upon them-as practically it soon wiii be if the ring retains its as oendenoy-"Give us tho whole fruit o your labor, the bread from your ehil dren's mouths, or wo will take the land, whioh supports you, itself 1" "consenl to starve, or we will frfrco you to starva tion!"-then, goaded to frenzy, they will remember that their oily-tongued Attor? ney-General, with his smooth emile and treacherous heart, had a large, if not the largest share, in the responsibility for their intolerable wrongs. They are now oheriBhing up these things against the day of wrath. When the storm bursts, as burst it will, Messieurs of the Bing, your shifts and evasions, your construc? tions and quibbles, your lying devices and false balances, will servo you but little. The logio of the people is a logic of facts. Read lt. We publish again, for the especial benefit of the delegates to the Republi? can Convention, which meets to-day, the list of those who have drawn money from the Treasury, under color of tho armed force resolution, whioh expired by its own limitation two years ago. Read it, members of tho Convention, and call upon the pnrties, numbers of whom aro your brother delegates, to explain. Thero is a pretty nest of fraud under? lying this "armed force," and it will prove healthful to unearth it. Jtlujor Lewis Alurrill. This gallant offioer of tho TJuitcd States army, sent down by Grant to en? force martial law in York County, seemB to bo rapidly identifying himself with the local affairs of the State. His first movement, like all carpet-baggers, was upon the Treasury. Ho is credited by Treasurer Parker with receiving $500 on account of the armed force appropri? ations. What Ber vices ho rendered the State, or how an officer of the United States army eau at the same time be in the employment and pay of a State, does not very clearly appear. We pre? sume that the autoorat at Washington willed it so, and so it was. The valiant Major does not Btop here, but conde? scended to act the part of pot-house politician in York County, in order to secure a proper delegation to tho State Convention. The Major's party was well drilled and disciplined, bub oven the negroes were disgusted with his unau? thorized interference in their local affairs, and smashed the Major's slate most effectually. Grant ought to cashier him now for his failure.

A Picture for Contemplation. Ou Thursday evening, a great con? course of our negro fellow-citizens ga? thered in the Cooper Institute, with the professed intention of listening to an argument between two colored orators on the respective merits of the Presi? dential candidates-William U. Saun? ders taking the side of Greeley, and Kev. Henry Highland Garnet maintain? ing the claims of Grant. Men of all shades from ebony to oream, with a sprinkling of females of dark complex? ion, crowded tho hall, and it soon be? came evident that throe-fourths of the number attended not for tho purpose of hearing a discussion and forming a judg? ment on its merits, but with the object of yelling and hooting down the Gree? ley orator, eo as to prevent bis words from being heard, and of cheering his adversary. The sceue was a disgrace to a civilized city, and WUH calculated to chuko tho convictions of those who have hitherto been tho most earnest iu their advocacy of negro suffrage. Taking the account of the Grant organ us the oue most likely to represeut in as favorable a light as possible the conduct of thu black rufiiuus who made night hideous with their uproar, we lind the following specimens of their proceedings inter? spersed through the report of Sduuders' speech : They would carry tho Greeley banner next Novombor to victory. [Great hiss? ing.] Of Sumner, he could only say that ho nover could do wrong. [Oroaus und hisses. [ Grant never voted a l?o publican ticket. I Tremendous groans and hisses, which interrupted the speak? er for several minutes.] On resuming, ho said ho was awaro that the negro vote belonged to General Graut und the min? ions of the Administration. [A voici?, "He will have it." Great appluuau and three cheors three times repeated for Grant, j It was a high crime for a blac't man to raise his voice against General Grant. [Prolonged cheers, which inter? rupted Mr. Saunders, and compelled the Chairman to advauco to the frout of thu platform and bespeak for the orator a fair hearing.] * * * At thia period of the speaker's address there were re? peated calls for Mr. Garnet, and Mr. Saunders' effortu to explain the superior? ity of the Baltimore platform over that of Philadelphia proved an abortive fail? ure. Democracy he declared to be a Government of tho whole people for the good of the whole. [A voice, "Haug ing niggers to lamp-posts is Democracy." Cheors and groans.| * * * [Here the groans becamo so prolonged and loud that it was feared the speaker would not be permitted to resumo. ] Finally, on being permitted to continue, be in? dulged in personalities by calling atten? tion to the opposition of certain mem? bers of the audience, but it did not tend materially to give him a better hearing. After the speech of the Grant negro, Garnet, which was delivered without other interruptions than those caused by the .wild cheers of his audience, Saun? ders, in accordance with the arrangement of the discussion, was allowed half an hour to reply; and the closing scene is thus described by thu Republican organ: "Mr. Saunders again attempted to ad? dress the meetiug, but ho was met by a tremendous outburst of groans and cat? calls that bailies description. At the earnest request of Mr. Garnet, order was restored, und Mr. Saunders endeavored to reply. As soon as he began to speak, however, it became evident passion had completely obtained tho mastery over him, and that billingsgate and a violent ebullition of temper would supersede fact and argument. This induced a fresh uproar, in the midst of whioh Mr. Saun? ders vainly essayed to say that tho per? sonal attacks of bis opponent were infi? nitely beneuth his notice. * * * The excitement was indescribable. The au? dience rose to their feet, and, yelling with fury, rendored Mr. Saunders' fur? ther remarks inaudible even to himself. lu vain the orator pitohed his voice to the highest key. lie could not be heard, and finally he was compelled to retire, [ furious with rage. Several Greeloy men shook him cordially by the hand on re , tiring. A breaoh of tho peace seemed , imminent, but the police vigorously kept , back the crowd, and the opposing fae , tiona left in quiet." , The reports in the other daily journals , represent the oonduct of these freo and independent eleotors in n yet more ofl'en , sive light. When Saunders declared ! that it was God who had freed his race | from bondage, the remark was received ( with yells, hisses, cat-calls, "boo-hoos" , and cries of dissent, and tho negroes | evidently believed that the assertion was , intended to do injustioe to their favorite | candidate and tho Republican party. ( Throughout the proceedings, there was a display of ignoranco, bigotry and ruf , fianiBm rovolting to those who have been , taught to believe that the ballot is the ( palladium of our liberties. ! Yet deplorable aa waa the exhibition , at the Cooper Institute, it was orderly, . compared with the scenes euaoted in ? some of the Southern States. The no , groes freed from slavery in tho South ) are far more degraded, ignorant and in , tolerant than their brethren in New York, and can be more easily incited to aota of rowdyism and violence. Upon snob men, the Republican politicians are endeavoring to bestow the political con? trol of the whole Southern country, strengthening thom wherever their num I bera are lesa than the whites with rein I forcements of carpet-baggers and scala? wags. Let the oitizens of New York pioture their own city ruled by the votes of such eleotors as assembled in the Cooper Institute the night before last, and they will be able to appreciate tho condition of the States and cities of the South. The fault does not lie with the ' negroes, but with those who strive to bind thom together as a distinctive po? litical power by imposing upon their credulity and inflaming their passions. The incendiary speeches of Secretary Bontwell calling for a oeaseless enmity 1 between the negroes and the whites; the dangerous and unchristian letter of Ger ritt Smith, in which tho fierce hatreds engendered bj (slavery are invoked to make the South, in bis own words, a "hell of horror"-theae are the influ? ences that are calculated to turn the ne? gro into a demon, and to mako tho suf? frage extended to tho black race, in our love of justice aud equal rights, a curso to the nation. Left alone by tho politicians, gradually enlightened aud educated up to the ca? pacity of forming an intelligent political judgment, taught that tho shackles of slavery are brokon forever, that their lot in lifo must henceforth be carved out by their own industry, that they have an equal interest with all other citizens in the peace, progress and prosperity of the nation, and that they must henceforth livo in harmon}- aud trust with their white neighbors, thc negroes would be comu u docile- and useful people, and their happiness and f-uecessiu life would bo insured. But thu teachings of thc Radical Republican politicians arc calcu? lated to keep them still in the ignorance into which slavery hus plunged them un i to bring untold ovils on their bends. If Greeley should bo successful iu the Pre? sidential cauvas.s, would it be surprising if these poor, misguided men, taught tu believe that the success of thu Liberal party was tho signal for their ro-?usltive mcnl or extermination, should bring upon thu country the horrors of iu?ur rectiou and bloodshed wherever their superior numbers taught them that they held thc power of revenge and murder in thi'ir hands? If Grant.should succeed, wonjil tho negroes bu likely to undervalue thu importance of their support of hts cause, or to allow those who they ure told are their mortal enemies to live in peace in the Southern Stales? We warn the men who arc striving tu excite th?: fears anti the passions of thc negro ruco for their own political euds that they arc playing with tire, and thu disgraceful scene enacted in thu heart of the metro? polis ou Thursday uight. is only a slight foreshadowing of the evils they ure bringing upon the country. [New York Herald. GREENVILLE, S. C.. Aug. 19, 1872. The delegates who were elected by the people iu township meetings on Satur? day lust, assembled iu couventiou, to? day, in the old Court House, for the purpose of selecting candidates for tho various County and State offices. John W. Stokes was called to the chair, aud G. Wells requested to aot as Secretary. After brief consideration, the following were nomi nu ted : W. A. McDaniel, for Clerk of Court; Samuel J. Douthitt, for Judge of Probate; J. L. Southorn, for Sheriff; J. H. Taylor, for .School Com? missioner; A. R. McDavid, W. J. West and W. C. Goodwyn, for County Com missioners; ex-Governor B. P. Perry, for State Senate; James P. Moore, (Mayor of Greenville,) Col. S. S. Crit tondon, John H. Goodwin aud James McCullough, for House of Representa? tives. W. H. Perry, present Circuit So? licitor, was recommended to the Judicial Convention for re-election; 03 also Col. E. P. Jones to tho Congressional Con? vention for Congress. These uro the right men in the right places, are popu? lar aud will doubtless be elected. The convention was full aud harmonious, and their action givos satisfaction, ex? cept in the selection for representatives. Some promiuent candidates were left out, and others less prominent were put in; but all may turn out right. These nominees are all in tho interest of Libe? ral Democratic-Republicanism. M. EDITOR PIICESIX: An article in the Union, of Tuesday, purporting to be news gleaned from a letter, is calculated to give a false impression of the state ol affairs in Union County. It is true, o meeting was held, but it was a Radica] pow-wow, confined almost entirely to the colored brethren, and which excited nc attention or interest among tho oppo? nents of the Radical party. One would gather, from the tone of the statemontc in that article, that there was a desire on the part of the Conservativo element tc fraternize with June Mobley and bia ilk, and a willingness to accept a joint tickel for the Legislature, leaving to tho tax? payers of the County the modest ehare of one Representative, and a Senatoi aud two Representatives to tho Radicals. Now, the people of Uuion County will do nothing of the kind. Tho election twe years ago waa lost to tho Conservative! by a mistaken feeling of security as tc the result. It will not occur again. Ic good time, Union County will speak; bul will not be for compromise with thc party represented by Mobley. In spite of manipulations of Ku Klux warrants, the present regime will he overthrown ic tho next ?lection for legislative offices. _ UNION.
