COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Horning, October 5, 1872. For President of the United States. HOn&CR QIlfiELKY. of New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BKOWN, of Missouri. The Demooratio State Executive Com? mittee met here night beforo last, and were in session until a late boor. The meeting waa private, bnt we feel author? ized in Baying that it was determined to do nothing in reference to the State election. Arrangements will be perfect? ed shortly for putting a Greeley eleotorol ticket in tho field. -? ? ? ? Tomi Inion or Moses. Just as in the Presidential campaign, the contest has narrowed down to a ohoioe between Greeley and Grant, BO io our State election oar people have only the alternative of giving their sup? port to the one or tho other of the Re? publican candidates. There is no De? mooratio or Conservative ticket in the field. It is too late to bring out one now, and it would be hurtful to bring out one if time did permit. We say this upon the hypothesis, which, in our judgment, is correct, that the bolters' ticket >H not only far better than that of their opponents, but that it is as fair a Republican tioket as reasonable people could expect. Of the Moses tioket it is useless to speak, and it is certainly dis? gusting. With one, perhaps two excep? tions, tho candidates aro scarcely a whit better than their leader. They are ns bad as bad can be. His supporters talk glibly of Moses' repentance, and the wonderful changes for the better wbich will ocme over him when Qovernor. Where has he given the first signs of re? pentance? He does not even confess bia crimes, except when forced to do it, and then only for the purpose of palliation or exouse. If Moses is eleoted we venture the pre? diction that a tax of not less than twen? ty-five mills on the dollar will be levied next winter. The interest on the public debt may not be paid. We have not the remotest idea that it will, but the people will be taxed to pay it. The extrava? gance and profligacy of the past two years will be as a mole-hill to a monntain in comparison with that which Moses will inaugurate. The bond frauds are pretty well played oat, but it will be upon the pockets of the people that Moses and the preoious crew to whom he is bound will fasten their clutches. Then it will be that the tax-payers will feel as they have never yet felt the burden and oppression of official corruption. It will come direotly upon them, and there will be no escape from it save in revolution. What do tho bolters promise, on the other hand? In the first plaoe, the personnel of the tioket is a thousand per oent. superior. Reuben Tomlinson has been tho constant boast of the Radicals in thia State for his integrity. Up to his nomination his character was nover questioned.. He is endorsed by the New York Nation, one of the first and most reliable journals in the United States, in the highest and most flattering terms. Every one whose tostimony can be un? suspected, and who have been associated with him in business or otherwise, gives him the fairest name. The Lieutenant-Qovernor, James N. Hayne, a colored man from Barnwell, ranks with Bosemon and Frost, as among the very few honest members of the present General Assembly. Tho candidate for Treasurer, Edwin F. Gary, we feel assured in saying, bas every qualification to make a good of? ficer. He is competent, steady, and not to be swerved io tho discharge of bis duty by fear or favor. As for John T. Greene, the candidate for Attorney-General, we do not hesitate to say, from all we have learned about bim, that no more fit and capable man oonld be found for that office from any political party. He is able, sagacious, earnest, learned in tho law and as true as steel. We shall confidently hope to see the thieves brought to jastioe if bo is made Attorney-General. The rest of the ticket is also unexcep? tionable, so far as wo can learn. So mach for the character of the can? didates. Admitting them to bo such persons as honest persons can support, thoro is another grave reason why the white pooplo should throw themselvee strongly on the side of the bolters. An opportunity is offered for that combina? tion between the good, substantial citi? zens of both races, upon which rests the only hope of attaining suob an adminis? tration of public affairs as shall conserve the interests of all our people, whether of property or personal rights. If tho white people vote for the bolters and they are eleoted, it will inevitably lead to an allianoo between the white and black voters which have snpported it, and eventuate in securing for the State a thorough reform two years to oome. Finally, there seems now bat little reason to doubt that if the whites oast their ballots for Tomlinson, he will ba eleoted. If they do not, then they will eleot Moses by their own default. BURNING OF THE EHOUHIAL,.-A cable telegram from Madrid announces the burning of the monastery and palace of the Escoria), and probably the mauso? leum of kings, whioh is inoludod iu the vast establishment. The Esourial is situated in the town of Esoarial de Abajo, about twenty-four miles from Madrid, and was built by Phillip II, in fulfillment of a vow that he would build the most magnificent monastery in the world, if Hi.. Lawrence would give him tho victory over the French in the battle of St. Quentin, 1557. St. Lawrenoo suffered martyrdom by being broiled on a gridiron, and by a quaint oonceit the King caused the ground plan of the Esourial to be made in the form of a gridiron. The foundation was laid in 1563. Twenty-one years and $15,000,000 wore spent in its construction. The whole edifiao, whioh is mainly of the Dorio order, was built of white stone, spotted with gray, resembling granite. The most striking feature is tho oharoh, built in imitation of St. Peter's at Rom?, in the form of a Greek cross, with a c?palo and two towers. Directly under the high altar is the mausoleum, built of jasper and black marble, from a design of the Roman pantheon, and containing the remains of all the sovereigns of Spain since Charles V. There wore seve? ral splendid paintings in the charch and palace, and many other works of art, fino libraries, eto. The Escorial has been a summer resi? dence of the Kings of Spain from the time of its completion, and is regarded one of the greatest treasures of Spanish architecture and history. REASON RESUMING HEB THRONE.-The following is the synopsis of a speech de? livered before the regular convention of Republicans of Charleston on Wednes? day: Stephen Brown, from Christ Church, made a long, earnest and foroible speech, telling the delegates, from his experi? ence as a member of the Assembly, many remarkable reminiscences of Radi? cal rascality, and explaining to the co? lored delegates, in their own peculiar patois, how they had been swindled. Se exhorted the convention to elect good men, reminded them that they coald place no further confidence in the unscrupulous carpet-baggers who had come into the State, climbed into office upon the backs of the ignorant black men, aud then robbed and insulted whites and blacks alike; nor coald they nominate a tioket wholly from their own race, because they unfortunately had not snffioient intelligence and ?ducation to occupy all the offices, and he told them plainly that they must como baas and put their trust ia the white Son tl Carolinians, who they would find, aftei all, to be their best and truest friends, He said that he had been bitterly op posed to Democrats, but it had been be cause sentiments of hatred towards thc whites bad been instilled into his minc by the rascally white men who had oom? from the North, but he thanked Got that his eyes had been opened to th? truth, and now he believed that the in terests of tho colored race, the redemp tion of the State and the restoration o peace and prosperity depended upon th? election not ouly of honest but edncatei officers, who must be sought in par among those who had been known ai Democrats. He said that for expressing stich sentiments ho had been stigmatizet as a Democrut, uud he might again bi taunted with being a Democrat, but hi deuied the charge. He was a Republi din, always had been and always wonk be, and the color of his skin preoludet him from being anything else, and bi said that in giving them the advice tha he had uttered, he had been talking a a Republican, and had been giving then just the advice that would preserve in stead of disrupting the Republican party These remarks were delivered amid i continual roar of approval and applausi from the convention, and it was eviden that the vast majority of the colored de legates were ia full sympathy with tin sentiments of tho speaker, whose epecol was delivered with all tho warmth ant gesticulation affected by the nativo am dark-hu ed orators of the sea islam 1 stump, aud in a jargon whiob is familia to most of our readers, but whioh no re porter less than a polyglot could do jue tice to. A brief and sensible speech was nex made by Mr. George Cannon, of Chris Church, who gave a little good advice t tho convention, and was followed b, Stephen Brown, who made anothe speeoh of some length, following hi 1 former line of argument and explainin 1 the mischievous laws enaoted during th i past few years, and modelled upon th , utterly inappropriate laws of tho large und rioher States of the North. -m . ?? 1 RELEASED.-The colored men, Jack son Henderson and Clark Olevelnnd , whose arrest for a violation of the Eu forcement Aot of Congress was notice in oar last issae, were released on Thun day last, under instructions from Die i trict Attorney Corbin, whose presenc , hero fuoilitated their release. Upon bc ing relieved from custody, we undei 1 stand that these novel specimens of K Klux made tracks for their homes i i Oconco County.-Anderson Intelligence) RIOT AND BLOODSHED IN MACON.-ID Macon, Ga., on Wednesday, tba negroes marched in a solid body to the polling placo at the Ooart House, and made Buch d?monstrations that it became evident to the white men that if they were to seonre an opportunity to vote they must act at once. The Telegraph relates aa follows of the scenes that ensued: A number of gentlemen remonstrated with the negroes, and told them that their oonduot would oause trouble and probably bloodshed, und urged them to desist, assuring them that they should have the right to vote without molesta? tion, if they would bu patient and tako their turn. They refused to heed thin wiBo counsel, and pressed forward more vigorously than over. They had come there to control the election, und they uieaut to do it. J. F. Long, the negro incendiary, who had incited tho colored men to this line of action, assumed posi? tion in one of tho npper stories of thc Court House, where he oonld overlook the scene of action. Ho waa satisfied that the advice he had been giving his people would result in harm to some of them, and acutely took his carcass out of the way of danger. Ho had stirred up the tempest, but meant that it should pass without iojury to his person. He is a bully when it comes to stirring up a riot; but a ooward when it comes to a test of courage. While the two forces, so to speak, were massed in front of the polls, several white men wore collared and roughly handled by the negroes. There were scufiles for position, and on two or threo occasions the negroes made demonstra? tions with brick-bats. This contest for position lasted for more than un hour. The negroes wero resolved to get tho polls and hold them, and the white men wero equally resolved that they should not. There the two masses stood, grow? ing more determined all the while, and tho negroes more threatening and tur? bulent. It was plainly seen that they did not mean to yield an inch. They had been drilled too well to back out now. Thus matters stood, when J. F. Long, from hisperchin an upper window of the Court House, called out to the negroes to take the polls at all hazard*. This was the signal for the strife. Tho negroes pressed forward with greater de? termination, and the white men stood their ground moro firmly. Finally, a brick was thrown by a negro, wnich passed immediately over the heads of the white men, striking the wall of the Court House, very near the door where the ballots were being received. This was closely followed by a pistol shot from a negro, and the battle was begun. The special police used, their weapons freely, and between fifty and a hundred shots were fired. It was a lively skir? mish, lasting about three minutes. No shots were fired by the whites except those who were on duty aa special police. These were sufficient, however, to route the negroes and send them scampering in every direction. They stood not upon the order of their going, but went at once, pell-mell, hurry-skurry, all madly bent upon getting out of the way, leaving their wounded upon the field. It was impossible at any time daring yesterday to obtain an accurate list of the killed and wounded. Different ru? mors were afloat, all more or less exag? gerated. Only one white man was killed. Wm. Corkle, a worthy meohanio, fore? man of the blacksmith shop of the Ma cou and Brunswick Railroad, was shot through tho head, und died before reach? ing his home. He was unarmed and in no way engaged in the disturbance, but was standing some distance off, on Mul? berry street. Another white man re? ceived a slight flesh wound in tho side, another a contusion on his arm. Shots passed through the hat and coat of an? other, and through the clothing of two others. Two others were severely in? jured by brickbats. A negro, named Dennison Armstrong, was shot through the heart, and died immediately. Another, named Edmund Henderson, was shot in tho back of the hoad and in tho back, the latter ball lodging near the spine. He died before reaching homo. Another, named Wm. Day, from East Maoon, was wounded in the head. Ho was reported to have died during tho afternoon. Another, whose name was not ascertained, was wounded in tho head. Another received a shot iu thu heel, which passed to his instep, und was cut out by Dr. Mason. Other slight wounds, of various kinds, were report? ed, none of which were of a serious na? ture. After tho shooting waa over, tho ne? groes made no further attempt to take tho polls. They recovered from theil fright, after awhilo, sufficiently to assem? ble in front of the City Hall, a noisy, turbulent, demonstrative mass. Mayor Huff went thither and addressed them briefly, counseling order, and urging them to return to the polls and vote, assuring them that they would bo pro? tected. Tillman Lowe, negro candidate for the Legislature, gave different counsel. He told them that the Mayor oould Dot and would not protoot them, and ordered thom to go borne. Pulaski Holt, another negro candi date, gave advice similar to that ol Lowe, and called upon the orowd to gc homo. For n timo tho wholo gang seemed tc be wild with excitement, and hooted and yelled like madmen. They shouted, "We won't vote;" "Lot's go home;' "Don't you to try to vote," and othoi similar cries. There was no uso ia ex postulating with them. Several gentle men went into the orowd and attempted to reason tho matter with thom, but ii was no use. All were wild, and deter miued to obey their leaders. When tho orowd at the City Hall broke ap, the leaders disappeared from th? streets, while the others gathered it squads and discussed the events of UK day. For awhile their talk was turbu lent; but after awhile it dwindled dowi to a reaoantal of adventures and hair, breadth escapes. No more voting was dono by the negroes. They stood about the streets io squads, or sauuterod off out of sight; bat though frequently assured that they wonld be proteoted ia their right to vote, they refused to go near the polling placo, and allowed the election to go by de? fault. The polls were not olosed for an in? stant during the melee; and ns soon as the storm had subsided balloting wont on, and was not disturbed again during the day. When tho fight commenced 500 votes had been polled, nearly the half of which were negro votes. After thnt barely a negro attempted to vote at all. But where was Jeff. Long whilo this troublo was going on? He had brought it on, and now he was skulking away in the post office, oat of the reuoh of harm. He remained there the entire day, afraid to show himself. Had he come upon the streets it is possible that he wonld have received rough treatment at the hands of his own people, for many and bitter were the threats and complaints they made ugaiost bim during the day. He was de? nounced by them as a coward, and one was heard to say, "he has got us into this thing, and now ho has left us." The negro women, if possible, were wilder than tho men. They wore seen everywhere, talkiog in'an excited man? ner, and urging the mon ou. Homo of them wero utmost furious, showing it to bo n part of thoir religion to keep their husbands and brothers straight in poli? tics. Miss Emily Truman, who resides on the corner of Cherry and First streets, white in the act of closing tue shutters of her window, was fired at. Tho ball shuttered tho window-glass nnd fell in tho room, where it was picked up. This was one of the most dastardly occur? rences of tho day, and it is a pity that the party perpetrating it was not disco? vered. (Jorouer Dewberry held an inquest, yesterday morning, over the remaius of Dennison Armstrong. Several colored men were on the jury. The verdict was that the deceased came to his death by a gun-shot wound in tho banda of some party unknown. A warrant, it is stated, will issue to-day for the arrest of Jeff. Long. There are several counts against him, any one of which is likely to make bim amenable before a conrt. Jeff, ii reported to have been snaked out of the post office, lust night, and will probably keep at a safe diutauoe for some time.

OLD JOUN ROBINSON.-Thin veteran showman, with hie monster exhibition, will be in Colombia on Monday, Novem? ber ll. The following is what the old gentleman has to say about one feature of his exhibition: SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS AND $30,000. When I was iu San Francisco, I gave $10 for a carriage to take me to a seal rock, where I might see the huge tea lions always basking tbero, ten rods from the shore. After viewing these marvel? ous monsters for half an hour I offered $30,000 to have nine of these animals captured and delivered to me in Cincin? nati. The laws would not permit these Bea lions to bo molested at all, hut by dint of energy and lavish expenditure, I procured nine immense sea lions from Alaska, each of which eat from sixty to 100 pounds of fish per day. Several of these magnificent animals are placed ia my traveling exhibition without extra charge, while thu others aro held in re? serve at my residence in Cincinnati, do? ing their best to eat their heads off. Muny other rare animals, of whioh I am compelled to huve duplicates in case of death, live in a state of tho same digni? fied retirement, and are constantly in the same laudable occupation of swallowing themselves, (iu value) considering that I charge but seventy-five cents to ny entire show. The sea lions whioh I gave $10 to look at and $30,000 to capture, costs visitors about three cents to see. LIST OP NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Pupils Wunted for French & German.

Row WITH A CIRCUS.-We heard a re? port, yesterday, that the Great Eastern Circus, whioh recently exhibited in this city, spread its tents at Lake City, Florida, on Friday last, and prepared to astonish the natives. It appears that in the morning the services of a number of negroes of the placo were secured to , assist iu raising the tents, a work of a few minutes, and were promised in com? pensation a free admittanoe to th? per? formance. In the afternoon, when the exhibition commenced, the darkies were all passed in free, in accordance with agreement, and tho contraot was consi? dered at an end. Bat it seems the 1 manumitted did not look at it that way, ; and in the evening demanded admittance , free to tho second performance. This the managers refused to accede to. ' Finding thoy conld not get in, tho dar? kies left in high indignation, making - numerous threats. In a short time, (hey returned with reinforcements, armed with guns, and fired deliberately into ' the dieBsing-room tent, wounding seve . ral of the performers. A rally was ' soon made and the cowardly sooan , drels were put to flight, several cf them . being badly wounded.-Savannah News.
