COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning. October 10, 1874. The Intercat and Welfare or the State. The notion of the Conservative Con? vention, whiob adjourned1 Thursday evening, was oharaoterized by a most gratifying unanimity. Aa stated by us yesterday morning, the conclusion had been reached before the Convention met. Coming together with a fixed purpose, the delegates had only to de? termine the beat mode and to select the proper language in which it should ho announced. Under such circum? stances there were no subjects of de hate or discussion, and, as a natural re? sult, unusual dignity, decorum and determination were imparted to its de? liberations. Following the sugges? tions of the sagacious Korsbaw and the thoughtfal Perry, and obeying those convictions and instincts which every member felt to be authoritative in his own breast, the Convention abstained from making any nomina? tions at all. It resolved that the Con? servative citizens would beat promote the interests and welfare of the State by giving their support to the candi? dates already put in nomination by the Independent Republicans. These are not unmeaning or idle words coming from euoh a source. We are happy to recognize that considerations, aifeoting the interests and welfare of the State, whiob, in a South Carolina deliberative assembly, of the right material, have ever been paramount to personal ambi? tion and mere party sncoesa, yet sur? vive the wreck of so muoh that was precious and valuable amongst us. All is not IoBt where these sentiments survive, and at their pure and steady flame hope lights her torch again. We shall cheerfully move on in en lire harmony with onr Conservative feltow citizen a, as expressed in the ac tioD of this Convention. The times are full of grave and responsible du? ties, and tho immediate occasion de? mands earnest work, and, if need be, conscious self-aacrifice. For ourselves, we are not disposed to ehow any undue tenacity of opinion upon points that we now regard as settled against as. Nor will we oondoecend . to notice the unjust aspersions with which we have been assailed for frankly expressing it. Let them all pass into deserved obli? vion. What power in ub lies?and we ore pleased to see it regarded as not inoonBiderable?we shall devote here? after as heretofore, to the interests and welfare of South Carolina. ? ??-j A Mistake Made on Purporn:. The Union-Herald, in its report of the proceedings of the Conservative Convention, gives the preamble and the first and second resolutions reported by the oommittee and adopted unanimously by the Conven? tion correotly. In place of the third, which was in the following language: "Resolved, That we adopt as the plat? form of the Conservative party of South Carolina honeaty and economy in the administration of the State go? vernment," it substitutes this: "Re? solved, That we adopt the platform of the Republican party of South Caro? lina." It is impossible to oonceive of any other way by which so gros? a misrepresentation of the action of the Convention coald have been made, than by design. The aoouraoy shown in one portion of the resolutions, con? clusively demonstrates the mischievous purpose aimed at by the falso report of the other and for this reason, tho resolutions mast have beon copied, nod no copy contained the resolation which is paraded in tho Union-Herald. Such words were neither written nor spoken tbat day by any member of the Con? vention. It is plain, then, that they were invented, out and .oat, und with design deliberately placed where they could not possibly have been placed by any honest mistake. In a Nut-Shut, fu a epooch delivered a few days ogo at one of the Korshaw Tax Unions, Gen. Korshaw stated that the questiou of the Civil Bights bill had nothing to | do with oar present political necessity; that it was as no bonost Republican we wanted Jadge Green, and lot as a member of onr politioal narty; ft was his "policy" in the special question of State reform, and not his politics wc were after; that without the Civil Rights bill, he was no Republican in Sonth Oarolioa, and nnleas he was a Repnblioan in good standing with hie party, ho was useless to ns. Tbat to tell abont "a clear ticket" was simply to register defeat in advance. If we played at all, it was onr duty to play to win, preserving our own politioal honor through it ail. The Bugbear of Cirll Rights. A good deal uas been said in some Conservative journals, and repeated in conversation, about the inconsistency o! Conservatives aastaining for office candidates who advocate or accept the supplemental Civil Rights Bill. Capi? tal has also been made of it by Radical newspapers and Radical speakers. Tbey prebeut this plank in their plat? form, and tannt Conservative voters as standing upon it. Tbey ignore and discredit the position ibat tbey do not recognise questions of party politics at all. They overlook the fact that this State is a satrapy, governed by men who have murdered many of the liber? ties and rights of a large portion of tbe people. Having reduced them to tbe extremity of seizing npon u single priuciple lyiug outside cf tho domain of partisanship, thai, namely, of ho? nesty and economy in the administra? tion of tbe State Government, they re? lentlessly pursce them even there, and strive to prevent their use of this soli? tary plank to escape from their peril? ous condition. As tbey have manu? factured artificial outrages, 60 they now are busy in constructing artificial issues. Bat the public mind will re? fuse to regard their insidious sophis? tries. The design is abnndantly ap? parent that they mean to deceive and mislead. Conservatives have, before to-day, for peace's sake, and in tbe hope of securing better government, beon willing to support Republicans whose character and professions gave assurance that they had pat away hos? tility against tbe people, and 'repudi? ated the leadership of organized politi? cal brigands. Men who voted for Car? penter and Tomlinson for Governor of this State, for Horace Greeley for Pre? sident, did not change their princi? ples. These men represented the po? licy of conciliation, and on that ao count deserved support in their day. Tbe Conservative people of this State cannot be bullied or ridiculed into tbe belief that there is any. question cf civil right? which will entor into tho canvass for State officers. Tbey h'.ve but to consult the statute books to see that tbey have bad civil rights in full sway hero for several years. If they vote for a Republican at all, it is not because he advocates civil rights, or is opposed to inflation of the currency, or favors a system of internal improve? ments, or desires a third term for Pre? sident ?rant, or mukes uoy other pro? fessions on one side or the other of political questions, but simply because he is just, honest and capable, and means well by all classes of tbe people. They have nothing to do with bis party relations. They are more likely to con? fide in him in matters which concern them and good govcmnn-tit in tbe Stute, if be stands firmly by hie politi? cal opinions, whatever tbey are. The QcASEiis Am jncj the Indians ? The Society of Friends (Quaker*) of Indiana held their aunnai meeting at J Richmond, in that Stute, oa Tuesday. A committeo on Indian affairs reported the condition of their work among the aborigines ou the border. The com? mittee bad visited many of tbe Indian agencies, and derived knowledge con? tained in their report from personal observation, "The gicat obstacle! to Indian civilization seem to be: First, tho prejudice of race, which has been greatiy iutensilied by the generul treatment received by thein from white meu. Second, their strong adhesion to the traditions and customs of their forefathers, which tbey regard as of a snored character. Third, with some of the tribes roving babit3 prevent a regular appliyfttion of tbe induencos cf civilization. Ponrtb, non-enforco mt-ut of tha Jaw permitting tbe intro? duction of whiskey, stealing of their stock aud tho destructioa of game npon their reservations. Fifth, su perttition or unenlightened religious* ness." The cOLumiiteo further state that or garizsd bauds of horse thieves bavo done an extensive business in ruidiog npon the stock of tbo Indians. Hnut ers, in open disrogard of law and of tbe promises of tbo Government to the In? dians, have slaughtered thousands upon thousands of bnfiiloc-s upon tbe reservations. Wbiskey podlcra bavo plied tuoir wrotohed vocation, and the j combined inflaenco of these classes of trespasses has at last provoked tbe In? dians to retaliation, so that considera? ble cumbers of them have determined to drive from tbeir reservations all white porsons not lawfully residont \hcreon. Thuy rightly consider it the d-ily of tbo agents, us officers of the Government, to protect tbeir rights, a: d justly complain because this pro? tection ia not afforded. They urge a reform amoDg Indian traders to begin w ?1?, and tbe duo enforcement of law amoug tbo white men of tbo border, tbey think will help the process. -S? -. Tue Or.de? of Red Men.?Tho con? vention of the Independent Order of lied Men of tbe United States has jnst coucladed it session in Brooklyn, N. Y. Seventeen States wore represented by delegates from some 200 lodges. Lewis Wadde, of Maryland, was chosen Saprome Grand Chief, and Otto Krae mer, of Massachusetts, Depnty Grand Chief. The Fbench Situation.?The resnlt of the elections in Frauoe, for the Councils Qoncral, on tbo 4th of Octo? ber, indicate that 800 Conservatives and 500 Republicans were chosen, a Conservative gain of twenty. In 100 places there was no choice, and a bo cond ballot will be required. There seems to bo no special reason for dis? couragement to the Republicans, thongh the Bonapartists have exhi? bited unusual activity during the re? cent elections, and seem to have beeu allowed to work the old electoral ma? chinery of the empire without any hin? drance. Resuscitated imperialism is what the French republic ha? rootd to dread, the devotion to the mmily of the Corsican fid venturer amounting iu Eome of the ignorant localities of France to a religion. At the eamo time, fortunately, perhaps, for the country, there seenas to be uu irrepara? ble breach betweou the two branches of the bouse of Bon ?parte, as repre Bented by the Trince Napoleon und fhc Prince Imperial, At Ajaccio, tu. home of the ?rst Napoleon, uu is? sue was made between the two, und the Prince Napolcan was defeated, a*_d a Bonaparte, more Ioyul to the Prince Imperial, elected. In view of this dt vision among the Bonapartibts, and the large Republican vote that has been cast, it is thought that if Mac Mubon would place himself at the Lead of tbo Republican movement, Le might fovni a permanent conserva? tive republic. There is no reasou, however, to expect that MacMahon will be the Washington of Franc*. Perhaps be may be satisfied that France needs a C:e*ar more than a Washington. Heretofore, the order of succession to the throno of Turkey has foliowbd a peculiar law of inheritance. The crown goeB by seniority, not to the oldest child of the reigning Sultan, but to the oldest male descendant of the House of Oilmen, the fouuder of the Empire, sprung from the imperial harem. An uncle or consin of greater age than the oldest son of the Sultan would, by this order of succession, ascend the throne. The present Sul? tan, Abdul Aziz, is an example of this irregularity. His predecessor and brother, Abdul-Mediid, left fourteen children, the oldest being a son twenty one years of age, who, instead of sac* cording his father, war; compelled to give way tu the elevation of his ancle. While this sort of law of succession was a good thing for Abdul-Aziz, us heir to the Sultanship, he views it iu a different light at this day, when he is in power. A elespatch from Vienna announces that he is taking steps to b-eak this order of inheritance by ar? ranging for the succession of his sou, regardless of the rightful claimau?. What was sauce for him is not sauce for Yussif Izzediu Ellendi, his oldest boy, born iu 1857. Too beir presump? tive, under the immemorial ruin, is the Sultan's nephew, Mohammed Murnd Effendi, born in 1840. There is a paragraph going the ruuuds about one of the most noto? rious thieves in the United States, who muuy years ago wanted to reform and engage in some honest business. Ha tolii a gentleman an acquaintance, of bia desire, and the gentleman, who is now a detective, teils the story of succec'3 that uttended his reformation. The thief got ashamed o; himself be? cause he had a wife and several chil? dren whom he loved. They had no idea of the man tier in which he ob? tained hit? living. They only kucw that he was away from home a great deal, und that his work was night work. His childreu were growing np, aud he never wanteil then to know. The gentleman thought there was honesty in his purpose, and loaned the thief several hundred dollars with which ts start business. He prospered, raised his family respectably, became an honest citizen, ami did mncy nets of unostentatious charity. H? die?, not long !-ince, honored and mourucel by nil who knew hica. His children are doing prosperously, and could never suspect that the incident rcliiUel could have the slightest reference to their father. No doubt a littlo lime!? aid, involving such faith iu houe-st purposes, woulel save the world many bad tnc-u und women. Won't Mahcu to rnn Tai- t>* run DkCjI ?Wo were pleased to bear a number ot colored men declaring, at the Court House, last Sat aril ay, that they ictendeei to exercise individual independence at the coming election; that they woald never again submit to being called together on an election day by tho tap of a drnai and matched in line under the terror of parly disci* pline, like slaves, to the polls; there to remain aud sutler under a rigid discipline that deprived them of the exercises of their right; us frocdmen. They swore that Senator Srailh nor any other political leader could ever again koop them in lice frr a ha!: of u day like animals harnessed to n wagon, but that in tho future, as they were freemen, they intended to act like {reu? nion, and to go to tho polls and vote at any time of the day that it suited tucir convenience and cast their votes ua this side or tho other, an their inclinations dictated. The coloreel people have be? come tired of being driven un?er the party lash to the poll.-, i:!ie .sheep to the slaughter-pen, en.', they have de? termined hereafter tu reject wiih St! ?ru and contempt any proposed politico! arrangement on election elay, that wi'.i lead the outside worll to bclicvo that they ore not cipuble of exercising ti:eir right to vote as they themselves may think best and for the common good.

Dwelling Houses.?In a recent noteworthy and very, elaborate paper on tbo proper mode of building bouses so as to insure health, read by Dr. Hayward, before tbe Liverpool Architectural Society, he enumerates various conditions essential to tbat purpose, the more important of which are a duo exposure lo fresh air and sunlight, positive freedom from damp, a large cubic space lor air, and abund? ant means 'for the escape of foal and the admission of fresh air. Dr. Hay ward argues that it is essential tbat the uir shoald be warmed previous to ud mission, and that ventilation is the great and main necessity of houso bu;IdtLg; tbat whatever be left un? done, this should bo especially at? tended to. Iu regard to the tempera tare of the admitted air, he says that bed-rooms s.re often very improperly constructed and arranged, so that iu winter tbe sich occupant has to be in a current of air, passiug between the doorway and the tire-place, from 28 to 33 degrees temperature, while tbat of his body :3 nearly 100. To these bed? rooms, saya Dr. Hayward, very many cases of consumption, bronchitis and asthma may be traced; furthermore, in fever cases, much fresh air is required, and sometimes endeavor is made to ob? tain it even by opening tho doors and windows, so that many typhus fever patieuts die of pueumonin, and many rheumatic fever eases, also, are pro? longed and complicated. Drafts are equally pernicious in sitting rooms, where persons may be roasted on one side and frozen cn the other, resulting in neuralgia, rheumatism, colds, congbs, asthma, consumption, and a long train of similar ailments, tbe chilly lobby contributing materially to these results. Dr. Hayward urges the importance of a thorough reform in ar chit-ctnral construction, in order to avoid these and other objections.? iVeu? York 'Iribitne. It is not u generally known fact that nearly 200 people in New York city rise at daybreak for tbo pnrpose of re? pairing to tbe slaughter booses and drinking the warm biood of animals. These people are not vampires, but consumptives, who find in tbe blood the means of prolonging existence. One lady, who has followed the prac? tice of drinking warm blood tor seve? ral years, contends that it has pro? longed her life fifteen years, and has become an absoluta luxury. At *:rst tho taste is said to be repulsive, but, subsequently, tbe desire for the en? sanguined fluid becomes ifftc-nsc, and its good effects make it commcudublo to invalids. The Irish peasantry are very fond of baked blood, which is placed in large shallow pans and baked until it is browned. It is notorious that consumption is a disease almoat nnkuows among these people, and, perhaps, Velpeau and other famous physicians who have recommended the drinking of blood, have taken the hint from tbe baked blood of the Irish peasants. A Hen and Her Kittens. ? Two cr three week.-, ago a family living in the Third Ward set a hen on ten eggs iu the burn. The same family keep a cat. It seems that the children belonging to the family did not know that tbe ben was "set," so they disturbed her and brought in the eg?s? ?"'d chased her about tbe yard for play and recre? ation. While thus occupied, the old cat, that had a litter of kittens only a few days old, decided ut tbat oppor? tune time to change their locution, and brought her littie ones to tbat very nest, aud went oat in search cd food. The hen returned, sat down and mothered those kittens, aud seemed to be very proud of them. The cat, of course, drives hor oil wheu sho is iu, j but as soon as the cat is away tho old I hen returns to take care of the kittens, and the honors of mother are about equally divided between the heu und the- cat.?
