COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, October 9,1874. A Party Sign. Several notices have appeared in the publio prints, oonoerning the publioa tion ol a new party paper in New York eity to advooate Republican principles, so-called,, though, as the Richmond Despatch says, we have never seen evi? dences of any, and oaonot imagine how the party is held together, except by what Mr. Oalhoao called the coho ?ive power of pnblio plunder. The party trade opon the rancors und sec? tionalisms of tho war, the coals of which they ever continue to fan to keep them alive, and through their in? fluenae to hold tho offices and the emoluments of the Government. The letter-writers from New York tell a great many things abont this new paper called "The Republic." These stones are to be taken with a grain of salt; but some of them, we may justly conclude, are true, especially the lead? ing fact that this new paper is deemed necessary for the welfare of the Re? publican party, the former well-known Republican organs having become too conscientious, too civilized, too hu? mane, to do all the dirt; and shocking work alloted to them by the Republi? can party. First, the Tribune became, under Greeley, too tender of heart to sanction the brutalism of the Republi? can* party. Next, the Times was too intelligent, too civilized, to sanction the-impolicies and cruelties of its own party, and permitted through its co lama? a little troth concerning the horrors of reconstruction in the South to steal out. This did not suit the party views of such men as Oonkling and Morton, and that old butoher, Chandler, of Miohigao, and their fol? lowers. L'ho Times was talented and civil, and oould not "go the ronte" with the butchers. So they sought for a journal better suited to their na? tures, und the tin{. ")lic is the result. What it will be, wo must wait to see; we may reasonably expect something more relentless and bitter against the South than we have now in the jour? nals that|have been looked upon here? tofore us exponents of party feeling.''' What a commentary we have in this new movement on the ohesi board of party organism. We are informed by it that no paper in New York is suffi? ciently relentless for Republicanism. They must have something more gra nitive, more impervious and iron-clad against any weakness that may inoline t ?? virtue's side?tu the eide of truth. Tho oause of Republicanism is iu a strait, and demands stern and relent? less prosecution and persecution. It must have statesmen and journals to keep the national and sectional ran oors alive and "keep down rebellion," while Republican leaders may securely rob the treasury and make abundant tbo means of leisure and of pleasure. The country was made for thorn; and what matters it if there be suffering, pressure and sorrow, and disoontent? what matters it if the oonntry is dis? tracted and torn with dissension and calamity, so that the rich and sleek Republicans are in possession of the streamsof corrupt wealth, and mono? polize, the honors and officos of the nation. They tbiok that the nation should be sacrificed for their good, and whatever is necessary to give them power and wealth should bo done. They are the saints of the land, and are entitled to the fatness thereof. We look upon the establishment of this new paper as dearly showing the gradual approaoh of the Republicans towards disintegration. A new organ will not arreat their downward course, but help, on the contrary, to facilitate it. In this way, we heartily wish it all success. It will, iu that case, be a zealous laborer in the line of logical events, and will help to bring about all the sooner, that which should, accord? ing to all precedent, have happened much sooner, viz: the death of the war party. That event will confer zsoro benefit and more joy upon this gantry than any which ever happened. ????-? Gen. Kerihaw. As will be seen by.notico of appoint? ments, Gen, Kershaw will engage ac-1 lively in the canvass for Congress in a few days. Now the people of the Fourth Congressional DinLrioL have the opportunity of eleoting a man who will do justice to all parties and races, and reflect honor npnn the State in the national councils. ? Grangers.?Some ef the head men of the Grangers aro advising planters j to make loss cotton, more bread and meat, and get out of debt. They claim this as "the warning voice of the Patrons of Husbandry." The daily and weekly newspapers have been harping on this subject for years, long before a> "Patron of Husbandry" was dreamed of. Tbe ConittvAtlT? Convention. The oouvention oalled to consider whether it is advisable to make, nomi natiQiislor 8t^{e ohloers in, thejonan ing election, mot yesterday, in.the ball of the Houao of Representatives, Hon. Simp?on Bo be?, of 8partanburjj, was made President, and Messrs. J. J. Hemphill aud C. F. Jauncy appointed Secretaries. A number of resolutions were offered, all breathing tbo same spirit of patriotic devotion; ull having for aim tho oure of tho evil* which af? flict us, aud all eeekiug, by peaceful and friendly meauH, to secure hurmauy in all classes, und tbo reuewal of pros? perity for the Stute. There was no di6cusMou, us there were do differences of feelings or opinions tending to col? lision or requiring to be compromised. The simple question iu every man's mind was how bes>t be might servo tbe State, and it wus answered iu every man's miud before he came op to this council. It bad been concluded on all bunds that a contest for political office would bo unwise, tbut graver matters than purty politics, higher issues than those which pertain to politic il prefer? ment, were before the: country. Prac? tically, tbe matter to be decided was whether tbe portion of the Republican party known as tbo Independent Re? publicans were influenced by such mo? tives iu their recent nominations as could be approved of, and whether tboBe nominations were of honest und oapable meu. It was felt tbat there coald be bat one answer to those in? quiries. Tbe Independent Republi? cans had been ooutrolled by principles of justice; their action indicated the spirit and purpose of genuine reform, and their candidates were men of good abilities and character, against whom not a breath of suspicion, not a bint of corruption, had ever been breathed. Tbe convection had, there? fore, before it, tbe easy task of embody^ ing in suitable terms the universal eon- ' viotion that they could not do better than approve what bad been already done, aud indicate, as tbe living prin? ciple which inspired its action, tbe overwhelming, tbe paramount impor tanco of a restoration |of honesty aud cco?omy in State affiirs.

Jlesoleed, That in tho opinion ?<f this Gouventiou tho Conservative citi? zens will best promote the interests and welf.ire of the State by giving their support to the candidates foi Go? vernor and Lieutenaut Governor nominated by the Independent Repub? lican party. Rcsoloed, That we adopt as the plat? form of the Cmsorvativo party of South Carolina, honesty aud ocouorny in tbo administration of tho State Go? vernment.

The work of thu Convention having been performed faithfully, efficiently and harmoniously, upon motion of Col. Evins, of Spirtanburg, Gen. Kershaw addressed it iu a masterly spoi.-ch, full of those wiso, pacific and just oounsels wbioh distinguish his utteranoes. He alluded iu pathetic terms to his belief that divine Provi? dence had inspirod tbo action of tho Convention, and direoted it to the only JJUHUI ? ? ? M'.'.l II ? ? I 'I i -1-1-? mode of escape from tbe evils which surround tbe State. He dwelt with effect upon the doty of a fall recogni? tion of the rights of the colored race, and upon tbe daty and necessity of seeking tbeir co-operation in all mea? sures tending to tbe rehabilitation of the State, tbe restoration of its pros? perity and the recovery ol its good name.

Dr. \Y. H. Jackson, of the Repub? lican Printing Company, returned to Iba city yesterday. Mr. McKenzie received a lot of Sue fruit, yesterday?apples, bananas and orauges. Even your enemy caunot help seeing and remembering your advertisements, it you are a persistent advertiser. The champions of the respective candidates made lust night hideous with their drum-beating and yelliog. Tbo Medical College of Georgia, re-, gardi d among the best in the South puts forth its fall announcement iu to-day's Pihesix. A gentleman very cruelly suggests that advertisements are as essential to tho development of business as ruin is to the growing crops.

Seeger^' beer has gone up?at least, a monster barrel has been hoisted in front of his establishment, as a sign, wo presume, tbut "good beer is ob? tained here." Fine Wilmington oysters, monster white head cabbage, choice French candy, delicate fruits, variegated sau? sages aud other good things to eat, can be obtained from Messrs. Hoffman & Albrecht, this morning. Mr. W. Muller, who, for years iu this city, has "taught tho young idea how to shoot," finds it necessary to seek another latitude.

She had been iu feeble health for some time, but it is thought tho death of a ohild, a short time ago, hastened her to the grave. Nothing tends more to promote a cash business than advertising. The stranger who is attracted by the in? ducements offered expects to pay cash, because his commercial standing is not kuowo. The man with cash in hand seeks bargains and the man who advertises offers them. Rich land Nominations.?The seve? ral Senatorial candidates uro working energetically, and Irwin's Hall and Ca? rolina Hall, yesterday, resounded with the excited speeches of their respective friends.

Secretary of State Hayue looks hope? fully towurds the completion of the j Stute Capitol somewhat after its origi I nal design?at least, so far as its out? ward appearauce is concerned. He says there is stone enough about the yard to carry up the walls to the neces? sary height for the roof; and as that important appendage is still quietly ro t posing iu a dusty warehouse in Balti? more, it is probable that the owner will be willing to dispose of it at a re? duced figure. The Seoretary is enti? tled to great credit for the taste he has displayed, 6o far, in arranging the grounds. Pucesixiana. ? Where to go when short of money?go to work. If you want good imported cigars, go to Fine's saloon. What kiud of sweet-meats were in the ark? Preserved pairs. Although a woman's ago is undenia? bly her own, she does not own it.

If a man ad? vertises that his stock is fresh and fashionable, it is difficult to believe that he has not really a finer stock than those who do not so advertise. This influence of advertising affects the natural qualities of a human being, and may be safely appealed to. List of New Advertisements. J. H. K.inard?To tho Ladies. Appointments Indepeudent Rep'ns.
