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.

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.

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.

suit all tastes. A sketch of the famons
English historian, John Anthony Froude,

very clever series of character sketches
which has made Mr. Rhodes so popular
with Americnu readers. Colonel John
Hay contributes a tine poem from the
Spanish. The visit to on orthodox syn?
agogue is a sketchy description, by a
gentleman himself of Hebrew descent,
of the service of tho Polish Jews as wit?

essay which everybody will read with
personal interest, because everybody
feels that he belongs to that class.
