U. H. Chamb rlain for Governor.
The Radical Nominating Conven?
tion.?Yesterday was a great day Irl
tho, Radical camp. Tue Convention
? was called to order, and the first thing
?of interest wua the appearanoo of
Judge J. T,, Green, to address it, in
obodi?noo to 'the wishes of hie friends
who have plaoed htm in nomination
for the office of. Governor. His
epeeoh was short, but left no doubt as
to bia position on some important
-questions. He wae in favor of a wise
aud economical administration. If in
? Position to do so, he would, give his
vbte for the Civil Rights Bill, pending
in Oongresa. He waa nneqnivooally
opposed to recognizing any form of
the spurious indebtedness of the State,
whether it be called Bine Ridge Scrip,
Pay Certificates or Conversion Bonds.
If chosen Governor, he solemnly
pledged himself that no part of it
tainted or suspected of fraud shall
ever be collected from' the people of
the State, if he could get one-third of
<the Legislature to oppose it with him.
The time arrived for nominations.
State Treasurer Oardozo took the field
and described the State as diseased, as
having corruption in its blood. It has
'been so for a long time, but, wonder
fol to relate, it had survived to this
hour. Now we oome to purge the
' body politic. The process he recom?
mended to be parsaed with this sick
State was, first, to change the physi?
cian,1 and, secondly, the mode 6f treat?
ment. Having dootored the subject
uftor this fashion, he next viewed his
party as an army which had gained
few victories and had sustained many
defeats. He was now for cashiering
the-commander-in-ohief, entering upon
? a different line of taotios, and getting
new and improved arms. Ho repre?
sented that the State Tux Uuion had
linked them to tako slow poison. It
will be remembered tint the entiro ac?
tion of the Uuion, bo far as ib had re?
lation to this'party Convention, was
that if it nominated honest and capa?
ble men, it would support them. Ho
thooght this an absurd proposition.
(Here we must suy that this refereuoe
-was not a success. It was an admission
that honesty was poison to those of
whom it was asked. Another ullusiou
was equally unfortuuate.) It is charged,
said the speaker, that we have stolen
the public money. The fat (225 lbs.
-avoirdupois) Treasurer's answer to this
waa superb: "We oan't go to those
who would steal the public liberty."
The pompous Treasurer detailed bis
.prodigious efforts in guarding the pub?
lic funds He had fought with wild
beasts at Ephesus (the Treasury.) He
had done his prettiest. He had gone
-on bis knees to beg the thieves to steal
no more. It would never be known
<till the judgment day what he had
prevented. (He never thought of call?
ing for the police or turning them
over to justice, except in the case
-of a few County Treasurers, who
'had no friends and no more money.)
Finally aud lastly, he oame to busi?
ness. When he weut ou with the
Whittomoro delegation, to deny all
suoh , rogueries as be had just con?
fessed he had rebuked, he consulted
the Great Mogul about the desperate
condition of South Carolina. The
Great Mogul (U. S. G ) had told him
that Mr. Chamberlain had been in the
Supreme Court, and was np to snuff;
that Moses was a played-out institu?
tion, ?fco. Ergo, the Chamberlain ma?
terial was the material out of whioh to
make a Governor.
Whipper, of the Laud Commissiou,
seconded the nomination.
Sam. Lee couldn't see it through
"them specks." He aud some other
youngsters had resolved to oppose the
nomination of any one among those
who had brought shame, odinm aud
wrong upon tho State. Chamberlain
was in this oatogory; therefore, he
couldn't go him. The Sumturianu had
instructed him to fight with all his
anight against the ring! oomposed of
Mut.es, Chamberlain, Neagle, Scott,
Oardozo and Parker, and he was now
hard at it. He gave the Treasurer,
metaphorically speaking, a blaok eyo.
He also guve some passing iioks at the
Chamberlain organ, the Union Herald.
He era mined Mr. O.'b doings in the
Sinking Fond Commission, and didn't
find them satisfactory, as the sntn of
$180,000 was totally unaccounted for.
Jost hero he toaohed Whipper also on
the raw, disturbing a doze in whioh be
was indulging; he also was about to go
for Attorney-Generol Melton, but it
was' not parliamentary to do this by
name; bo he tried it anonymously.
Lse concluded, blit ^id, not iodioato
his own mail. He1 waa rather for tear
?i ill j ?. 7 '!iiT.
ing down than building up at'tbia]
stage of tbe conflict.
. Tuia dobato was continued for some
time. Whipper made charges Of fraud
against Saajj Lee, and backed bid as?
sertion by nrodumng! a paper, said to j
baVo been obtained from the Treasu?
rer's office, whioh he deolared fully sub
Blantiated bis charge. Lee deemed
the possession of this paper, or at least'
a eight of it, a matter of importance,
and when Treasurer Gardozo got hold
qf it again,he moved towards him; but
his portly antagonist stepped back and
put the all-important document away
safely.
During the afteruoou, there was u
perfect pandomouiutn; charges of a
personal nature were freely ban lied,
and several times it was thought that
the excited delegates would oome to
blows, but they did not. A motion to
adjourn uutil 6 o'clock, was voted ou,
and decided by tbe Chairman in the
affirmative; but spmo parties objected,
and a member sprang from his seat,
and proposed to substitute another
Chairman and continue the session; to
this Chairman Wilder objected, and
declared that ten men could not move
him. After repeated raps of the gavel,
the dissatisfied ones gave in.
At 6 o'clock, they came together
again, and suoh confosiou and utter
disregard of order and decor am was
never before witnessed in this city,
even in these usually disorderly assem?
blages. "Mr. Chairman!" aud the
steady* rapping of the gavel, with tho
aooompanyiug din uad noise of many
voioes, rendered it impossible for the
business to proceed. Finally, Judge
Mackey made a Chamberlain speech,
and Smalls having been called to pre?
side, a motion to alose debate wus car?
ried, and the balloting for a candidate
for Governor proceeded. Mr. D. H
Chamberlain, Judge John T. Green
and Dr. J. Winsmith were.put iu no?
mination. The result was as follows,
(after tbe delegates fiuished'changing
their votes:) Chamberlain 72; Green
40; Winsmith 10; necessary to a choico
62. Gov. Moses reoeived one vote,
MoDcvitt, of Eigefleld, who transfer
rod it to the successful nominee,
4 ballot was thon had for Lieuteuaut
Govornor, and the present incumbent,
B. H. Gleaves, reoeived 92 votes; M.
R. Ddlany 11 and A. J. R ?nsier 3. The
Cuairmin made the official announce?
ment of the result, whioh was received
with tremendous applause Mr. Cham?
berlain soon afterwards appeared aud
delivered a very ban "isotno address. Ho
was followed by Mc. Glutve< iu a tew
remarks.
The ballot for the Executive Oom
mittee then commenced, aud wa-t pro?
ceeded with until 12 o'clock, when,
upou motion, the Convention adjourn?
ed uutil to morrow, at It) o'clock. The
following mtsmb.-rs were chosen, leav?
ing four to bo elected: K. 13. Edictt,
J. H. lUioey, N. B. Myers, Tuos. J.
Mackey, J. F. Eusor, J. Winsmith, S.

A plitforiu is yet to be adopted aud

It is understood that stmc of the
more honest members of the Conven?
tion, who uro dissatisfied with the gu?
bernatorial nomination, will return to
their homes and urge their people to
call an Indepeudeut Ripubliciu Con?
vention, and select more suitable can?
didates.
The Geiiman Census.?The receut
German census shows that tho non
German inhabitants of tho empire
number 3,240,000, or 8 per cent. They

Rev. Dr. Ouyler writes: "Say what
we may of the rapid growth of our

3,000,600 peoplel Almost equals Paris,
New York and Brooklyn combined
into one. Yon can drive fifteen miles
on one of its diameters. When, in my
college boy days, I onoe went out to
pay my respects to Joanna Baillie, tho

Tnn Condition of Affairs in South
Carolina.?The New York Tribune
publishes a special despatch from Cor?
lumbia,'and thus comments:
The -South Uarolinu Bepoblican
Convention presents rather an encou?
raging speotjuole for the reformers who
propose to do the reforming inside the
party. Gov. Soott hoviog proved' a
great rascal, was reformed ont of offioo
by Gov. Moses, whose administration
bus beeu such that Scott's was imma?
culate in the comparison, und the lat?
ter even hud the impudence to propose
to reform Moses out and himself in.
Aod now they aro trying to reform
Moses not aod put in his placo a man
uamed Chamborluin, who it is said
caunofc be hulf so bad as Moses if ho
trie*. The present reform convention
bus beeu sitting at Columbia for two
days "dwelling" on the uomiuatiou
like an auctioneer on a low bid, wilt?
ing to sell votes to the candidate who
will pay the highest prico. And the
"vindication" business reaches its cli?
max in Moses sitting there in the Con?
vention, asking a renomiuation to vin?
dicate his administration. Meanwhile,
a convention of tax payers is assem?
bling at the sumo place for the purpose
of nominating a State ticket, aud tbo
delegates agree that they will make no
Domination if only the Republicans
will nominate an honest man for Go?
vernor. This is the State which Sena?
tor Patterson says requires the inter?
ference of the army to keep the white
peoplo aod tax-payers in order.
Columuia, S. C, September 9 ?Iu
conversation with the representative
of the Tribune, to-day, Gov. Moses
deprecated the impression that has
gone abroad, that South Carolina is
involved with Tennessee and Louisi?
ana in political outrages. He seid that
the State was peaceable in every part,
aud that be has no doubt whatever of
his ability to preserve order by means
of the machinery of the State Govern?
ment, with the uBBistauoe, perhaps, of
the Federal troops already iu the State.
There is now and has been a regiment
at tho capital <iod a battery of artil?
lery at Charleston, uod he knows of no
reason for the distribution of this
force in small detnehmeuts throughout
Ibe State. All he could usk would bo
that the President should empower
the commandant at Columbia to re?
spond to his requisition, constitution?
ally made. He knows of no recent
acts of violence or intimidation on tho
part of tbo whites against tho blucks,
and apprehends ooue, unless some en?
tirely unforesoeu event occurs. Where
there has beou trouble, it has beeu
chargeuble in a cousidorablo degree to
the imprudence of designing white
Republicans, whose very incendiary
speeches, made without due regard to
their effect upon minds already preju?
diced, had alarmed the Democrats iu
the rural districts, and sometimes led
to indiscretion aud eveu crime on the
part of ignorant colored people, lie
cited the caso of a notorious white
man from the North, who went into
Barnwell County, where the best feel
iug had prevailed between the two
races, but whoso incautious or design?
ing speeches had beou followed by the
burning of several cotton giua. Such
conduct received, ho thought, the cen?
sure of tho majority in both parties.
As to tho rifle clubs organized by
the whites, he had no reuson to believw
that they had any designs against tho
rights of tho colored people. If be
hud, ho certainly would not have arrant
some of them, as he had done, nor
giveu them any countenance whatever.
When the lute rumors of disturbances
tu EJgefield were rife, the Rifle Club
of Columbia had offered their services
to him, with a view to preserving tho
pence, aod he should have counted
upon their co operation iu case of ne?
cessity. Tho Governor thinks, how?
ever, that now, as heretofore, the
preseuce of United States troops cuu
do no harm, if indeed it is not neces?
sary, and he thinks neither white nor
colored people object; but he is em?
phatic iu his expression of the belief
that the forco now here is ample for
every purpose, and he anticipates no
outrages of a political character.
Manufactured Outrages.?A gen
tlemuu who has daily examined the
??outrage" letters received by tbo At?
torney-General from the South, says
that they are, without exception, writ
teu by Radical candidates for ofliae
aud by the ohairmen of Republican
oampnign committees. Gen. Sher?
man, in a recout convorsation with a
correspondent, remarked that all the
troops were needed for active service
in the West, aud there was uot au
available man to add to thnso already
stationed iu tho South. Whilo ho did
not express any opinion on the subject,
yet ho clearly indicated his disbelief
in the stories so industriously manu?
facture'! hv carpet-baggers and circu?
lated through the so-called Depart?
ment of Justioe.

Orleaus, has become a prodigy of
electrical display. His arm is a blaze
of phosphorus and lights drop from
his lingers.
Feeliug a mysterious influence iu his
left eye, he called npon his friends to
examine it. They found it to bo per?
fectly natural in appearance, except
that it emitted a bright illumination,
which cast a light on the wails suffi?
ciently strong in a darkened room to
enable him to see tho figures on the

bill frightened tbe projectors of tbis

Moses, Tim Hurley, Aaron Alpeoria

remanded to the rear? Somebody has

What is the Matter with You??
If u frieud is looking sick, this is usu?
ally the question we put to him. It is
asked everywhere, times innumerable,
every day. Aud what are tbe most
frequent answers to it? Are they not
sncb as these: "Well, I'm a little bil?
ious," or "I feel languid aud used
up," or "My stomach is out of order,"
or ''I'm under the weather," or "I
don't know what's the matter with me,
but I don't feel right," or the like in?
definite responses. Now, what is the
mutter with the thousands of both sexes
who cannot tell exactly whit nils them,
and yet are evidently out of heukh?
The matter is simply this: they don't
I properly digest what they eat, their
livers are torpid, their uervesuro weak,
their blood is impure, uud their vital
energies are depressed. What they
need is a course of Hosteller's Sto
much Bitters?uot ouo or two doses, but
a course?to strengthen their stomachs,
superinduce a healthy flow of bile,
steady aud invigorate their nerves, im?
prove the condition of their blood
und rouse their vital powers. These
results the great vegetable restorative
will assuredly bring about. It rallies
the whole system, reinforces every iiu
portaut organ, regula.es every func?
tion, aud purities every annual fluid.

R.viLROADISO.?The Guzoleor of
Railway Stations, published by the
National Railway Publication Com
pauy, is before us. It is u volume of
110 pages, of the dimensions most cou
venieut for use, and contains much
valuable information. The first pages
after the general index are devoted to
a "List of tho Railroads iu the United
States and tho Dominion of Canada,
with the names of the Express Compa?
nies delivering und receiving on each;"
also showing the gauges of the several
roads, und a "List of Old and New
Names of Roads," numiog over six
uuudred titles by which certain roads
j were formerly kuowu, with their pro
: per designation at the present time.
' Forming tho maiu body of the book is
a list of all tho "Rulwuy Stations iu
! the United States uud the Dominion
I of Cauuda," giviug their location as to
Cotiuty aud Stute, uud lino of ruilwuy,
j and designating such as havo pair,
money ordur, express, and telegraph
offices attached to them. Not the
least important feature of this portion
1 ol the book is a very lull statement of
tho population of the several towns,
Imuch fuller than can be obtained from
the census of 1870 Following this is
an "Express Directory" of Wells,
; Fargo & Co , showing bow to ship to
jail poiuts ou the Pacific Coast, aud
; several ablos of river distances, towns,
{&.[)., with tho same detailed inhuma?
tion that is giveu iu the list of ruilwuy
towns. Several pages are devoted to
tho "Locatio i of Piers in the cities of
New York, Philadelphia, Boston aud
Ualtimu e." A hat of Cuunties, Couuty
Towus, and the times at which the
soveral Terms of Com t are held. Few
volumes of the size contain as much
valuable information. The cheapness
of the book, only $1 00 in papei, aod
81-50 in cloth. Bent postage paid, ou
receipt of price, places it witbin reach
of every oue, and tew can afford to be
without it. It is published at No 233

A not im ii Sensation.?There were
reports yesterday, of u "war of races,"
at iilaokat^oks, two persoos killed,
several woupded, etc. We traced the
rumor and found, as might have been
expected, that it was incorrect?there
was uo right, and, of course, nobody
killed. It appears that a few} pights
ago, an old lady] overheard some co
lured men declare that if tbe whites
wanted to have a war, now was the
time. A while afterwards a .servant
atntod to her, that on Friday night,
there was to be an attack on Messrs.
John A. Bryce and others, and after
cleaning them out, they would march
upon Winnsboro. When this was
oommoMoated to some of the neigh
bors, '.bey armed themselves and pre?
pared to resist cue auiioipaied raid,
but tbe^-aidera did not come and the
matter ended.
Correction.?Below we insert a
short communication from W. (iilmore
Simms, Esq., in reference to a point
iu tbe proceedings of the State Tax
Uuion. We are indebted to this gen?
tleman for courtesies in connection
with it. By the way, it should have
beeu stated that tbe Union passed a
vote of thanks to him for bis efficiency
as its Secretary:
Mit. Editob: I notice in your issue
of to-day an error which I deem it
proper to correct, viz: The resolution
of Mr. Wm. Elliott, with reference
to tbe ose of tbe tax organizations
throughout tho State for the purpose
of aididg the citizens' candidate, was
not adopted, but laid on the table, by
the Tux Uuion. Reepeotf oily yours,

Yoo Have Seen Him.?You often
see bim on tbe streets. He looks so
