Wo hnve awaited with great interest and no little anxiety the assembly of the Republican Stute Convention, now in session, in order to ascertain what degree of siucerity und genuine earnestness there was in the universal cry by all tho Radical leader? for reform in the corrupt administration of tho past four years. Ko Honsiblo mau expeoted that the ras? cals now in power would or could reform themselves. Suoh a result would bo contrary to the nature of thingB, and against all human experience. Ono might as reasonably hope to see a stream of water run upwards, or a tree grow with its roots in the air. The rank and file of the Republican party-tho freed? men on tho farms-do, weare convinced, desire a correction ?f tho sad abusos whioh their representatives havo inflicted upon the State, that taxation should be as low as the requirements of good go? vernment will allow, and that honesty and economy should supplant that theft and profligacy which has brought tho State to ruin, the Republican party to disgrace, and the negro raco to reproach and to possible danger. Their material interests are identioal with those of their white fellow-oitizens. The prosperity of the one cannot be advanoed or re? tarded without a similar effect being felt by the other. The masses of the co? lored citizens can have no share in the manipulated milliona of the financial ring, nor in the ill-gotten gains of legis? lative bribery and oorrnption. They have no motives, therefore, to favor a continuation of the frauds and the reck? less extravagance of the present regime. They do seek reform, but they have not the sagacity to attain it. They have, at any rate, been sadly cheated in the State Convention. The very same scoundrels who have for fonr years past misruled the State compose a majority of the pre? sent Convention. They had control of the primary organizations of the party, they preached reform as lustily as the rest, and, despite the honest efforts of Orr, Corbin, and other decent men, they manipulated the County Conventions, and had themselves sent as delegates tc a Convention to work reform within tht Republican ranks. They will fill the of? fices of the State with men of their owe stripn. as a matter of course. Up to the time of the writing of thu article no nominations have been mude, bot it is very clearly to be seen that there ia not the least hope of such a tiokel being put forth as would give the friendi of government the ulightest guaranty that there will be a change for the bet ter in the coming two years. The onbj show of a contest is between Moses ant Chamberlain. The one the more disso lute and corrupt, the other thu mon dangerous. No man with a spark o self-respect, or of regard for his State can support either of them. What tlie Organ Received. Emboldened by the belief that we hat no means of ascertaining the amonnt o: his bills, it has ofttimes pleased onr Ki Klnx martyr across the way, when we pep pered him a little heavily for his snppor of the thievish State officials, to ohargi that this journal received as much Stab patronage as the Union. We were ebal longed, some time since, to compare ac Counts, and, doubtless, much to th Union's surprise' and discomfiture promptly replied by publishing the fa] amount of our claims against the State and demanded a similar showing froo Parker's pet. None such has as yet ap peared, and we presume never will. W are now prepared to make a partial ex hibit, at least, of the pap whioh th organ has picked np sinoe the beginniuj of the present fiscal year. It is a prope supplement to the armed force fraude and the services rendered, we are strong!; inolined to believe, are abont as inexpli oable. True, no mystic Mooney appears in th list, bot a goodly representative of thi apparently avaricious sprite now an then pokes np his hoad. The aooonrj covers a period of two and a half month -from November 18, 1871, to Februar 8, 1872-and sams np the enormoa amonnt of $13,000. What this advei tising was, we cannot imagine. Up t February 3, only twenty seven of th 238 Acts and joint resolutions passed b the Legislature were even approved, an certainly oonld not have boen ?urnishe the Union for publication. Tho amone received, $18,022.91, is five times mot than the entire accounts, paid and ni paid, of the PHOENIX for tho last fiftee months, including the publication of th whole of th? Aots and joint resolntiom We ^ive also the amounts credited a paid to the PIUKNIX from the State Trea? sury for the same space of time as that in which the payments were made to the Union. We hope the learned arithmeti? cian of that journal will compare the figures. PAYMENTS TO UNION AS PEU Tit EA It UH KU H | ACCOUNT. 1871.

His Cincinnati letter, his Balti? more letter, his letter to Carl Schurz, hin talk to the newspaper people in Bos? ton, his Beveral minor speeches, all en? countered this criticism, "admirable;! I^lon't spoil it by another word." Yet eaoh succeeding utterance has been, at least, as good as the last. The truth is that Mr. Greeley understands himself ) better than his critics. He also under? stands tho situation. For three months he has traversed slippery gronnd with? out stumbling, and we can trust him to finish the journey without additional counsel. Comly, the hideous postmaster who edits the Oolnmbus Journal, talks abont the pelting of Grant speakers in Ken? tucky with stones and rotten eggs, and fairly foams at the month. In bia head? long passion, the ugly fellow forgets the chopping down of Greeley poles, the ' burnings of Greeley and Brown in ef? figy, the murder of Greeley voters, the drowning of a Greeley man by a gang of Grant ruffians, the hurling of rotten eggs at Greeley speakers, etc., otc, all of which have taken place recently in com? munities controlled by the President's friends. Come, come, Comly. The Liberals of Alabama bavo ogre?'d to support the Democratic nominees of that State, though the former are with? out any representation on the ticket, tho nominations haring been made before the Baltimore Convention had acted. Snoh evidences of a cordial co-operation are not only encouraging, but particu? larly significant. A cordial union of all conservative olements, such as that in? dicated by the Liberals of Alabama, will insure nearly every Southern State for Greeley and Brown. The Radical Congressional Committee at Washington are sending out thousands of circulars in the interest of the Louis? ville Convention. This is well enough. Inasmuoh as Col. Duncan is working in the interest of the Radical party, it is as little as the Radical party can do to work in his. The Grantites are now loading tho maila with campaign documents, sent over tho country free of charge, under tho frank of Radical Congressmen. The Cincinnati and Baltimore Convontious declared in favor of the removal of tho franking priviloge, and when the Libe? rals and Demoorats get into power this great abuse will beoorrooted. For more than threo years the Grant party has had control of national legislation, and still the franking privilege remains undis? turbed. CARRYING THE WAB INTO AFBICA.-A special telegraphic despatoh to the Lon? don Telegraph, from a well-informed correspondent at Alexandria, states that an Egyptian army of 2,000 men, with a reserve of 3,000 more, had advanced into Abyssinia, with a view to conquering the country. The Emperor Kassai was marohing against them with a superior foroe in point of numbers, but it was be? lieved that, as the Egyptians wore pro? vided with Remington rifles and mitrail? leuses, tho Abyssinians would be de? feated and Magdala eventually taken. Some European adventurers aro said to acoompany the invading forco. A obanoe may thus be afforded to the American uenerals Rhett, Stone, Loring and others, who aro in the Egyptian army, of again seeing aotive service and acquir? ing military skill. Tho Now York Herald, of tho 19th, gives the following quotations: South Carolina 6s 54(3)56; do., new, January and July, 28J?@29; do., do., April and October, 26@27. There were forty deaths in Charleston for the week ending the 17th-whites 13; colored 27. REMARKABLE ADVENTURE.-Oar citi-1 zoos will remember how the showers came night before last, in frequent ano* cesa?ou, pouring torrents while they lasted, but stopping after a brief poor. Well, there were, at 8 o'clock on that evening, seven mea at the point in Syca? more and Abigail streets to which is j completed the great sewer, which is really an up town extension of the big Eggleston avenue sewer. Their business is to clean the open end of that sewer, so as to prevent delay to workmen en? gaged in coustrjeting it up Sycamore street. It hid occurred to them that by stirring the sediment at the bottom of the sewer the water from the showers would wash it away, and their work would ia this way be greatly expedited. After a long cessation in the rain, they went into the sewer some diatauco and continued their work. While so en? gaged, one of those heavy, suddeu show? ers which characterized the evening came up and pourei down its tremen? dous streams. The first warning they had of their peril was a sudden rush of waters upon thom, carryiug the whole party off their feet. The four men near? est the mouth of the sower escaped with difficulty, battling up stream against a powerful current; the other three were carried down toward the river by the galloping tido of defiled waters. Two of them caught at a man-hole near the canal, aud succeeded in making them? selves heard by their four fortunate com? panions who had escaped. They were drawn up to the solid grouud by these. But John Clark, one of their compa? nions, was not so fortunate. He conti? nued to travel down to Court street, where he made a short turu and theuce proceeded before the every moment in? creasing volume of waters to Eggleston avenue sower, where he made a turn to the right, wheoco it was a straight road to the river. Mr. Clark tells the story himself. He says ho proceeded down in the darkness, his back to the press of waters and his face to their current. As he could not stand np, he put himself as nearly aa possible in a sitting position, and went down the stream very much as a boy slides down hill on a sled, only Mr. Clark had no sled. Coming to the mouth of the sewer, where ita waters ? discharge into the ?hio River, he cried I for help. Mr. Lewis, who lives ia a ten? ement wharf-boat at that point, and who hires row-boats to parties, heard his cries, came to his relief, and saved him. Mr. Clark, last night, exhibited a badly torn pair of pants, sad a pretty roughly , bruised body.-Cincinnati Enquirer, 15th. WORDS OF WARNING TO SOUTHERK WHTTES AND BLACKS.-The New York Herald thus shows tho folly and the danger of the Grant design of fostering war of races at the South: The real interest the people huvo in the North Carolina election is in the evi? dence it will furnish of the progress of the attempt to array the Southern ne? groes as a race against the white citizens of the South. The solid support of the Republican candidates by the Southern negroes has in it, then, no praiseworthy and lauduble feature, but is the result of teachings that havo instilled into the hearts of the blacks of the South a deadly hatred of their white neighbors, and a belief that there can never be peace between the two raoes. If the colored vote should be divided as well as the white vote in the South, there would be a better prospect of a restoration of constitutional government in that seotion of the Union. As it ia, the Southern negroes, who will probably support Qrant with scarcely an excep? tion, will demand of bis Administration new privileges and now advantages over the whites, in the event of his re-elec? tion; while, if Greeley should be chosen President, they are very likely to plunge their States into riot and insubordina? tion. In either case, there is probably more trouble and suffering ia store for tho unhappy South. CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN AIKEN. The Conservatives of Aiken County met in Aikon on Saturday last, the 17th inst., as we learn from the Journal. Among tho resolutions adopted by tho meeting, we find the following: Resolved, That we, tho peoplo of Aiken County, bo hereafter known us tho Con? servative party-a party for tho promo? tion of honesty in office and a just admi? nistration of public affuirs, regardless of politics, race or color. Whereas, tho people of this common? wealth bas boen shuiaele.ssly pluudered for tho last four yours by her pnblio ser? vants, her citizens traduced by their ohiof magistrate, the freo schools ne? glected, the administration of justice a mookory, and no adequate protection extended to persona or property: Resolved, That it is of the first import? ance that all who desiro a reform in the Government should nnite and organize, so as to wield their strength effectually in the approaching eleotion. Resolved, That it is our true policy to support mon without referenoe to their past party affiliations, provided their characters offer ample guarantee that they will execute the functions of their offices honestly and faithfully in the in? terests of the people. Resolved, That we, the people of Aiken County, in Convention assembled, do re? solve that in the event that any fraud is practiced by any party in the balloting or management of the boxes, at the en? suing election, that we make np a purse for the purpoao of the conviction of the criminals under the law. That men be selected to see that honesty is praotioed iu tho balloting and registration of votes. Tho Journal says: "The meeting was a success in every respect, and shows that the Conservative people of Aiken County aro in earnest. Every township tu tho County was represented by as good men as there is in it, who an? nounced themselves ready to work from now until the day of election." A healthy person swallows ten pounds of food a day. THBOW? FROM A HORSE- TBBRIBLE SUFFERING.-A friend up from Johnson County gives us the particulars of a ter? rible acoident, as follows: On the 7th inst., while riding along a rather isolated settlement road, Mr. J. W. Barwick, of Johnson County, wa? thrown from his horse. Striking upon the spine, bia arms and ono leg beoamo paralyzed. Ho wus perfectly conscious, bot could not risc or movo bis hands or me foot. Tba horse ran off and was akeu up by a neighbor. Mr. Barwick, ling that he oould uot help himself, mmenoed calling ns loud UH he could, hoping to attract tho attention of somo e who might, perchance, bu in hear g. lu this ooudition ho lay for thirty hours, unuble to rise ur protect hira f from tho heat of tho Him pouring wn upon his upturned faco (lie could uot turn over) or to ward off tho insects | at woro preyiug upon his bauds and j tice. His family felt no alarm ut his ab? oce, as ho was accustomed to being ab? ut for days ut tho time attending to his sual business. Parties beard Ins cries, ! but could not trace tho sound, lying ' on tho grouud us he was. Finally ! mo cow huuters happened to pass uear here ho lay, heurd his cries and came his relief. Ho was found to bo in u ost pitiable condition. His face was blistered by the rays of the sun, bis ands lacerated sud swollen from the ting of insects, while his ears were filled with bugs, from which he could not I rntect himself. lu his struggles to risc | ho had dragged himself about four feet from where he fell. Ho lived nu age iu osa long aud terrible hours. He do paired of lifo at times, and expected to erish where bo lay. He says tho cattle bellowed aud pawed the grouud arouud ni, while the buzzards perched upon the trees near by, waiting, us it appear d, for life to become extinct before com? mencing their work. Ho was takeu omo aud thc best medical skill pro ured, but at last accounts there wus but ttle hope of bis recovery. [Sanders ville Herald. GOOD NEWS.-Tho notion that Penn? sylvania is to bu the great battle-grouud f the ponding Presidential struggle is becoming so prevalent that all informa? tion bearing upou tho struggle in that ?State will be received throughout the country with interest. Tba changea from Grant to Greeley in the old Key? stone are numbered by thousands, aud many of them are tho most influential citizens in the localities in which they reside. In a recent number of the Lan? caster Intelligencer, one of the moat reli ble journals iu Pennsylvania, we found the following words of cheer, which we reproduce with pleasure, simply adding that our private advices confirm tho good nows in every particular. "From iflarent parts of the State," said the Intelligencer, "wo have news of large meetings being bald, at which Democrats and Liberal Republicans unite in a spirit of complete harmony. In the Western Counties this is particularly noticeable, and some of the strongest Radical Coun? ties of the West and North-west give promise of a completo political revolu? tion. But tho movement is not confined to any section of tho State. All over this grand old commonwealth former party ties oro being broken, and men who have baan bitter political foes are striking hands upon the broad platform of reconciliation and reform. Last Thursday night an immense and enthu? siastic meeting waa held in thc public square of Ea?ton, whiob was presided over by ona who had long been a leader n the Republican party. Among the vice-presidents and secretaries were nu? merous prominont Republicans. The meeting was addressed by Liberal Re? publicans and Demoorats, and the great? est enthusiasm prevailed. This is but tho beginning of thc end. Before tho frosts of October whiten the stubble fields, and give to tho forests tints of orimson and gold, there will be such un uprising of the people of this State against corruption and personal rule as waa never witnessed in steady. Blow going Pennsylvania."-Baltimore Gazette. DOES IT MEAN THAT?-We notice in one of the Grant organs a pictorial invi? tation to Gen. Schurz to go back to Ger? many, if he does not like Gen. Grant. "Steamers to Germany nearly every day; passage cheap," rona tho courteous and suggestive hint. Does this mean that if a foreign-born citizen chooses to vote against Grant, he is thereafter thought by tho Grant men to bo no longer worthy to lire in this country? Is it such a crime in a German, or au Irishman, or a Scotchman, or a Welshman, or a Scan? dinavian, to vote against his Excellency, that he should rather loavo the country and loao his citizenship? Ono thing is pretty certain-if his Ex? cellency and his partisans want to deport all foreign-born oitizens who mean to vote against him, steamers will have to sail much more frequently for Europe than they do now to send thom home. But what a piece of impertinence it ie. "What! You dare to oppose General Grant? There's a steamer; go baok to Germany at once!" What an awful thing it must be, in those people's minds, to oppose Grant, or to have a mind of your own!-Neto York Tribune. FATAL ACCIDENT.-We are informed a fatal shooting affray took place at Geneva recently. It appears that a previous un? friendliness existed between the parties, who were brothers-in-law-Mr. Goolsby and Mr. Anglin-and that Mr. Anglin had been ordered by Mr. Goolsby not to enter his house again. The other day, Mr. Anglin drove up to Mr. Goolsby's for some purpose, whereupon he waa fired at by Goolsby. Mrs. Goolsby, in attempting to got possession of tho pis? tol, received tho contents, accidentally, in her head, and died instantly. It is supposed the death of his mother so shocked the young man, that he ran off into the woods and shot himself. The report of a pistol was heard. [Talbollon Standard. XLi ocal Items.

Wilder requests us to state that he has uever held any claim against the State which could properly be charged to the uccount of the armed force. He has had some bills paid, ho says, for postage stamps, but other than for those, he can? not conceive how his name could have been possibly placed npon the con' demned list. It is high time now thai R. K. Scott should rise to explain. What business had ho to charge postage stamp! to the armed force; and who in the devi is Mooney? CONVENTION NOTES.-Tom Mackey says "The Convention has simply to make i choice between the degrees of larceny My oandidate has stolen $200,000 les than tho others." Judge R. B. Carpenter waa getting hi boots blacked at tho hotel, yesterday when tho servant asked him why he hai not placed them outside his door th night before. "Do you tako me for fool," said the Judge, "to risk my boot among a house full of delegates?" Mooney is said to bo tho "man in th moon." Moses has 83 votes, ont oi the 12-; pledged to him.

This body convened yesterday, and was called to order by Lieut. Gov. Bunsier, Chairman of tho State Executive Com? mittee, who, in a few brief remarks, stated the objects for which the Conven? tion had been called. The financial report of the Executive Committee was submitted. Congressman H. B. Elliott was chosen temporary Chairman of the Convention, and Walter Joues, Secretary. After considerable discussion, the rules of the House, with certain altera? tions, wero adopted. On motion, a rec. ss was taken, to al? low the Chairman to appoint a Commit? tee ou Credentials. During the interval the Convention wus eutertained by music from Thompson's brass band. There aro contesting delegations from six Counties, viz: Charleston. Beaufort, Lexington, Chesterfield, Uuion and York. Tho following is the Committee ou Credentials: J. H. Rainey, Chairman, H. Ellison, S. J. Lee, J. li. Cochran, Jas. M. Smith, T. J. Mackey, G. Warley, Wm. M 'idio? mas, P. C. Fludd, Paris Simkins, Boj. Minion, J. M. Allen, J. H. Durham, Reuben Gaither, Allen Hntson, Joseph Crews, C. S. Smith, Wm. Odom, Simeon Young, David Singleton, J. S. Jamison, A. M. Folger. F. L. Cardozo, J. P. F. Camp, Wm. E. Johnston, S. A Swails, M. L. Owens. At the evening session, attempts were made to pass resolutions of invitation to certaiu individuals to deliver addresses, but they were unsuccessful. A motion of that nature relative to Senator Sawyer brought Jemes, of Georgetown, and Mo bley, of Union, to their feet, who de? clared emphatically that it was of no use for any man to attempt to dictate to them what course they should pursue-that the members of the Convention were neither fools nor time-servers. Jones did not know of anything which Senator Sawyer had done which should make a speech from him desirable to the members of the party. There was evi? dently a fear that Sawyer might tell them some wholesome troths, and dissnade the country members from the infamous I ticket which it is evident was all cut and dried before the Convention assembled. Sawyer can now experience some of the bitter fruits of an alliance by a man of self-respect and honorable ambition with a set of unscrupulous rascals and pot? house politicians. Mobley introduced a resolution, that the Bergeant-at-arms provide seats and desks for the reporters of the press. This was amended by a delegate from Richland, by adding, "Seats for the members also." One of the delegates, who seemed to be fearful of ontside influence being brought to bear npon the members, in? troduced a resolution, that all persons who were not members of the Conven? tion, should get behind the railing-as many of them were not only keeping np discussions with tho Chairman and mem? bers, but were actually voting on ques? tions. The Chairman, without putting tho motion, notified the intruding parties that they must leave.| At 0 o'clock, another recess was taken. About half-past 10 o'clock, it waa an? nounced that the Committee on Creden? tials hud only deoided on one of the contested delegations-that headed by Smalls, from Beaufort; upon the an? nouncement of whioh, the Convention adjourned until 10 o'clock, this morning. LIST OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Simmons' Hepatic Compound. ' Meeting Acacia Lodge. M. C. Butler-Notice. E. H. Heinitsh-To the Ladies. Wo clip the following ironi the Troy (N. Y.)

We believed at that time it was one of the many catob-penny arrangements to swindle people out of their money, but during the past two weeks, have become convinced to the contrary. We know of several prominent citizens who have suffered from that loath? some disease, 'Catarrh,' and they pronounce Dr. Sago's Remedy no humbug, and in seve? ral instances have been entiroly enred.
