> Friday - BMrnlngrOotober 24,1873. Survh or* of tl?? M.xluan War. Tbo NAtioual Association of Survivors^ of Jfte<Mex(6ar?W4r'bootemplates peti? tioning Congress for a pension Aot, similar to the ono passed in favor of tbo soldiers of tbe wat of 1812. This meu sure was warmly advocated by tbelate Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania. In consequence of bis death, probably *i& failed to bocome law at the last session of Congress. It can hardly fail of paus? ing that body when it oomes properly before it. The Palmetto Association of South Carolina numbers about seventy members, some of them living out of . the State now. They will hold their annual meeting in December, in Colum? bia, and it is thought will appoint repre? sentatives to meet the National Associa? tion and co-operate with it in any mea? sure lookiug to the. advantage of the survivors. These, bravo men deserve national recognition, hud the pension, though small in amount, wilt be accept? able In itself to many destitute men, and to all as a -deserved tribute tu pa? triotism and personal sacrifice. The Chltagn llallroud Convention. An interesting account appears in the last number of the Carolina Spartan of the proceedings of the railroad conven? tion held in Chicago on the 9th iuBtant. Its object was to devise ways and means of buildiug a grand trunk line from Chicago to thfcfjouth Atlantic sea-coast. Large delegations were present from Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, and smaller representations from Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Curoliua. Z>r? Haymond,. of Indiana, the Presi? dent of tho "Chicago and South Allan tic Railway Company," was made tem? porary Chairman. He stated that he hfid gratifying assurances from cue of the largest banking houses in the United St itea that it would back tbe euturprise with sufficient funds to complete it und insure its success, if tbe people along the lino would do tbeir part. Guv. Mu gofliu, of Kentucky, was ehosen Presi? dent, Gen. Harrison, of Anderson, Vice-President, aud Maj. Duncan, of Spartapburg, Secretary, from this State. Upon the call on the delegates of tho different States to state tbe character and resonroos of the country through which the liue would pass in their sec? tion, and the amount of aid which they would contribute to it. General Cling man, of North Carolina, presented tbe advantages of the French Broad route. This opened a discussion as to its rela-j tiro merits and those of tbe.Rabuu Gap route. General Cliogman was sus? tained by Major Gulick, of Columbiu, J. H. Evins, Esq., and Major Dunoau, of Spartauburg, nod Colonel T. 13. Jeter, of Union, all of whom maintained that the French Broad was tbe shortest and cheapest line from Chicago to tho sea. Tho claims(of the Clue Ridge or Rabuu Gap were supported by General Harrison, Judge Murray and Major Whttuer, of Anderabu, and by Dr. Love und Professor Smith, of North Caro? lina, Mr. Erwin, of Athens, Georgia, and Mr. Wilson, of Marysville, Tennes? see, In tbo oourse of his remarks, Judge Murray urged that Cbarjestou was unfitted to be a depot for tho gruin aud flour of tbe North-west, which would come over this groat highway, because of the dampness of its cimate. He afterwards urged Port Royal as the proper terminus of the road. Charles? ton was not represented in tho Conven? tion. Tbe great speech of the occuj-iou was made by lion. Mr. Rae, tbe Yioe-Presi dent of tbe Chicago and South Atlantic Railway. Ho assured tbe Convention that tho eminent buukcis, Drex.tll & Co., wore ready at any moment to fur? nish one-half tho capital necessary to b.iild tbo whole road, whenever they bad security that tho people aloug the liue would furnish the other half, and that they had already $3,000,000 sub? scribed to build tbe road to tbe Ohio River. Gov. Mngoflla gave assurances that Kentucky was. ready to meet the demands of this proposition, and fur? nish one-half the money requirAl to build the road across bis State. Gen. Clingman and Major Duncan gave like assurances for North Carolina. Mr. Ephraim Clayton, of Asheville, North Carolina, who was a member of tho Convootiou, aud who bus completed a contract of forty-five miles on tbe Rich? mond und Atlanta Air Line Railroad, proffered to grudo tbo road from Spar tanburg to tbo font of the Blue Ridge, aud take tbe whole of it in stock. A splendid banquet was give'u'ut tbo Sherman House to the members of the Convention, by Cyrus H. McCormick, Esq., of reaper fume, who is aUo most ' favorably known lor h? munificent con? tributions since the war to institutions of learning in the South'. .We take great interest in this North-! western .connection.

Its importance can hardly be exaggerated. Charleston, Co? lumbia and tho whole State diould bo warmly concerned for its success. - Uepubltcan Opinion About tin: Conver? sion llcind?. The idea of reooguizing tho ooover eion bonds und providing in nuy degree for their payment, in evidently distaste? ful to a large portiou of the Republican party in this State. Somooi them have ut last begun to think, and mtiuy are nauseated and tired out with the long saturnalia of corruption nud fraud. The speech of Mr. Boston, colored member of Iho- Legislature from New berry, delivered in Committee of the Whdia, on Wednesday, is significant of a soriouB ohaugo in that class of people. He calls for an honorable scaling of tho debt, aud in the discussion maintains a toue aud sentiment that are a rebuke to tho managers of the little game that in now on hand. Treating of the scale proposed of tho entire debt, hu says: "The present proposition is uot satis? factory, because it is general? somo of the State debt is nut legal; tho courts aud pooplo think uod believo this, aud they do uot meau to pay one dollar to? wards liquidating tho ?5,000, Out) or SG,0D0,000 conversion bonds; no one doubts that South Carol tua has bet-u imposed upon by a certain amount of this debt, which is illegal, und which she ought not to puy; those bonds aro out without being duly ohuuged by law. All acquiesced in tho cry to throw out this portion of the publio debt. He had seen in a ciroulur, recently issued re? garding the Slate liuanc&s, where tho former Treasurer had said the money raised by those bonds was raised for the beucht of tho State* he would like to ask what year it was ?900,000 wore ap? plied and spent in tho beueilt of Stute ulfairs; it was iu 1871; this was the year wheu schools were closed and judges threatened to resign because they oouhl not get their pay, and members of the Legislature were compelled to go home without their pay; this was tho year when those gigantic ?Cheines were going on, and deficiencies now exist for that very same year; tho plea that because the financial Ageat of the Stato con? tractor* these debts, the State must pay them, wilt uot do; tho moment that the Financial Agent wen I outside the special Act authorizing these bonds, tho whole became a nullity. He would like to know of a member who could con? scientiously stand up aud say the Stale ought to pay S?.OOU.OllO uf bonds not properly issued; it would not do to take bonds up at random and scale them, whether legal or illegal.1' He called upon his owu race to c >n sider well before tukiug nny steps in this important movement. They have allowed themselves tu be too easily in? fluenced. Tho project is against the people and the whole internets uf South Carolina. From another quarter, the Graemilic Republican, wo hear a voice of similar import. Treating of the extra session and the principal uieueuro b?f.ire it, it says: "Tho plain truth, well kuown, is that there has been u most infamous abuse uf autburity on tho part of cerluiu officials iu fraudulently over-issuing bonds iu addition to extravagant issues which Viere authorized. It is claimed that, the parties responsible wero of the last aud not of the preseut administra? tion. It is not now our purpose to in? quire who is responsible, Ac. i5ui much as ciuy bu well said ubout tho injustice aud folly of this policy, (/. e., that of the Democrats,) it will uot con? ceal from the great body of the li-.-pub licau voters tho truth that a largo part uf this debt is u base and hideous fraud, saddled upon them und their children by tho dirty cupidity uf a few uf their faithless leaders?meu whom they raised from obscurity to high official honors, ?ut who wero not cunteut except to revel in luxury und hoard fortunes at theexpeusoof tho honest sweat of Iho unfottuuute and down-trodden people who olevatod them." Huduotion of Theatre Pmoes ?The reduction in the prices uf udmissiun to tho theatre iu New York has commenced iu earnest, and a week or two sooner than was anticipated. The Grand Opera House hus gone back to the anti? war basis of fifty cents, while tho L un bor-Hi Murtku Combiuiitiou announce a performance at Booth's ut prices rang? ing from $1.50 down to ?31, instead of 2 50vM,3.00, as heretofore. After this company leaves, the reduction will still be iu furoo as regards the dramatic per? formances?thut is to say, ecvouty-fivo cents instead of one dollar lu the family oirole. It is tolerably certain thut all other plaeea of public amusement in Now York will have to follow tho exam? ple. TheKev. 11. M.

With this establish? ment; however, we have been happily disappointed, aud are {.lud to say that the Great Eastern name fully up to-all that was expected. Altogether, the.ma? nagement have no reason to be dissatis? fied with their visit, and our people,- we can safely say, are satisfied that, in ! viewing tbe performances of the Great Eastern as a circus, or in looking upon ' its many wonders us a menagerie, to say i nothing of tho side show, wherein is to be found collections rare aud costly, they have been favored with tbe btst establishment of tbe kind sinco the days of the old-fashioned shows, before I our late little domestic broil.

It is with sincere regret that we barn tbo fact that this gifted young artist has beeu compelled ! to leave bis native Stute and seik his fortunes elsewhere. Mr. Guerry is an artist of great talent, flue judgment nnd most exquisite taste; and in tbe near future, bis friends wiil rejoice to see the wreath of laurel upon bis brow. His work here has gained for him the admi : ration and applause of nil persons of ttiate aud all lovers of true art. If Mr. Guerry bud douo nothing more, the pictures uow ou exhibition at Bryan's would be sufficient to show the genins } of our fellow-townsman as au artist. Iu j this collection of portraits, we have an exhibition of artistic merit iu a variety I of styles?female loveliness, young tnau hood and the ruoro imposing aspect of age. The portrait of the lady is lovely iu its grace and coloring, and tbe like? ness of tbe young soldier, with its fine, clear cut features, ( titbough a oopy merely.) is admirable. The Confederate ; gray of his tunfoim will carry tbe heart I back to other times, and tbe uubiu...-u j tear will start as we recall our lost cause, I/its patriotic devotion aud his early grave. Turning from the former, the eye wiil rest upon two other portraits, aud upon those it Will linger long and lovingly. Here they stand sido by side, I two venorablo men?the Rev. Mr. L\u drum und tho Rev. Dr. Plumor?the latter so weil known iu this city. As works of art, I bete two pictures are I siuiply cxrjuisilu It is bard to bay which wu prefer; but of ttic two, we think wo incline to that of Dr. Plumer. Each has its own beauties and merits. As a likeness, the portrait of Dr. Plumer is so life-like that there seems to be no good reason why it should not speak to you as you outer, and, us you approach, why it should not rise und extend tbe bund of welcome. As a work of art, it may be -aid lo be almost perfect. To tbe person of ordinary taste, the striking features of tho composition would pro? bably be tho drapery, tho massive brow, the deep-set -'yes that seoin to dart their l light from tbo dark cavity beyond, tbe majestic beard, resembling tho patri? archs of old?all life-like nnd fine to yond quostiou; but we venture to say, that to the artistic eye, tho chief point of attraction would be the Itat, as it rests naturally upou the Doctor's knee. Here tbe play of light aud shade, tbu pros? pective and the paiutiog, are all so ad j luirabie that the but looks like a real j //?</, the top of which could actually sup? port iiu object placed upon it. Nor would his eye be loss attracted by tbe artistic effect of the royal purple chair in which tbe Doctor sits?a color so difficult always to manage rncoossfully. Our limits will not allow us to point out all of tho merits of tbis work of art. In tbe portrait of tbe Rev. Mr. L'tu drum, we must etil attcutiou to tho fold of tbe vest und tbe gold key that is hanging within. It is difficult to realize that it is not a real key suspended from tho modest black watch ribbon. Bat why say more, it is all so excellent?

[Laughter.] Do I look like a man? [Loud applause* drowning the speaker's voice complete? ly. ] Am I paralyzed from my lips dowu?
