REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS FOB PRESIDENT, J RUTHERFORD B. HAYES ! OK OHIO. ' . FOR VICE PRESIDENT. WILLIAM A. WHEELER, ' OFXKW YORK. Amongst many who hare refused to . join the present democratic organization i in the South, you often come across men who would be staunch supporters of that ; party if they lived in any of the uorthern 1 or western States, but although they do ' not support the republican party they come 1 out strongly when there is any chance ' for a fusion ticket. Id sentiment they 1 approach nearer to the democracy of the * north and west. They are generally nien ; wh? lived in the south prior to the war, t pud have suffered from the effeot of what s they tonu "aristocratic rule," Such mcri * whan the democracy make straight-out I nominations, hold aloof altogether from < State politics. T3ioy wiH vote for the democratic national nominees, but will } cast no ballots for the State democratic t ticket, nor will they countenance such a t State ticket as the party have placed in j the field. Although ^admitting them- t solves to ho democrats, thev refuse to join i any State organization .looking towards j the suoeess of the State ticket. They are | men who by business foresight and tact, | great perseverance, and frugality have in c the prime of their manhood worked them- j selves jip to positions of comparative af t fluence, and are generally if not foreign ( ers by birth, the offspring of foreigners. ^ Under a monarchal form of govern- ; ment they would be the b:>ne and sinew e of advanoed liberalism, and this sentiment c of liberalism forms the basis ot thoir pres- g ent antagonism to the State ticket, called a democratic nomination, but which this . liberulistic class of men claim represents the old aristocratic party of the South, c i*ho take great pride in tracing their antecedents back to the nobility of"some foreign power and it is this assumption of superiority that causes the antagonism J between these two distinct classes io the democracy of the South* and is the cause of its weakness. . .1 This liberal element are contented with the fortunes they have carved out for C themselves, and individually have no time D to. discharge the duties of official position, r yet still they want representation as a class bat ask the question in vain, "where is n the working man. represented on the detn- ^ ocratic State tioket?" or where is the natr n uralizcd German represented? D These are the popular cries that have r carrie 1 cleotious in other sections of the 0 Vnioft> and they are the cries that with ^ each succeeding election will be raised with more potency at the South. It is iHfosible even at the present elec- w tion, for the republic ins to augment their strength by a judicious conciliatory poli- s] <tj> and a carrying out in good faith of o the reforms inaugurated. Wade Iiamp- v ton has failed to rally these men to his ^ support and the democracy of" the South j in its present attitude never will, and al- t( though these^nen may not oorne out bold- n ly and afBliate openly with the republi- ai can party?if meu of known integrity are ^ placed in Domination, who will bo re pre- ?! si entative men of all liberal n en?they ^ will secure the ballots of a large number tl of this class, at the same time placing the aj rights and liberties of the majority of those who form the republican party on a ^ geoorer foundation. 0j Tin rumpr that the hatchet has been ' dc hurried between Patterson and Chamber- j co lain. has assumed a more tangible shape th " - _ u J? np.ij>w m.TXH umawr-jnn' iii'i within (lie last few days.

Thf Jrtxh World in reviewing the jour na]ijt;c career ot the Rhett family, has ! the following very suggestive paragraph, j speaking of'the present editor of thodmir- j nP.l of Commerce. " It is to he regretted ! however, that he still continues to designate southern Republicans as "scalawags" and northern men of that party as "carpet -haggers." The northern democrat, i though, * even if he holds a politica, office in the South, is not a "carpet bagger." A black man who votes the Re. publican ticket isa ' nigger,v but when he v.ctc ?ickot with Rhctt lie is a "re spcctable colored ruan." These things are purilc and silly.y Tliden's Income in 1862, From tlu: Terre Haute railroad, $20,000 From the Cumberland coal company, 5,000 Bonds of the Terre Haute railroad, 33,000 [ntercst from Mr. Bayard, 18,000 fnterest and dividend on Terre Haute bonds, 5,000 Frofit on mining etc , 40,00(1 [tents, 20,000 [uterest on loan3, 6,000 Sew York Balance Dock company, 1.000 Admitted receipts. $148,000 The above is Tilden's sworn statement nade by him this year in answer to the Terre Haute suit. In 1862, he made oath hat his income was only ?7,118, and on hat amount alone did he pay income tax. This charge of defrauding the revenue vas made some weeks ago by the N. Y. Times, and yet Mr. Tilden has made no leuial. Tbc N. Y. World and other dem>cratic journals are calling for an explan. ition from him, as they admit the charge a seriously affecting Tilden's canvass. Lieut-Gov. K. H. Cleaves is a candr late for renominatiou for the position he las held for the past four years. Living is lie does amongst us the ]>eople of fteaufort have a better opportunity of ar iving at a correct judgoment of his char icter than those of other sections of the State, and it is almost needless to add hat he has secured almost universal roipoct. His public career is well known ind his firm and dignified bearing as a ^residing officer of the Senate are frequent themes of laudatory comment by Grangers who pass through Columbia and risit. that body when in session. During he present canvass hejhas acted in a manler that oan but be appreciated by st o >arty men. Being a candidate he felt hat the proper place for the announce, ncnt was in the State convention that < neets in Columbia on the 12th inst,, and le has therefore been enabled to de /otc lis energies on the stump, in the advoca y of the cardinal principles of republicansm as enunciated in the platform of the lational party, and a support of the na- ( ional nominees. He goes into the con- i rention with the endorsement of the con- ? rention of the party in this county and we ' intertain no doubts that his friends in the invention from other counties will rally ( trongly to his support. From all that we can learn of the feeing in political circles in those counties . hat form the fifth Co gressional District f this State, it is strongly in favor of etnrning to his seat the Hon. Robert Smalls. He' certainly increased his wpularity in this oounty by his course luring the recent session of Congress, ud his successful efforts towards the mprovement of the harbor of Port Royal. !*he manner in which he turned the tables n those who desired to secure the reooval of the Daval rendezvous from Port loyal to Tybee, will in addition to his efublican supporters, secure him a large umber of votes x>f those who will probacy vote the democratic ticket. His c omination is a foregone conclusion, ai d t o fears are entertained that Tillman will t educe the majority ot his endorsement, ^ f which Cox appeared so anxious to ^ now all abaut a few months ago. j It is now definately understood that c he grand jury at the next term of court rill, at the suggestion of their sub-inves- f igating committee, recommend the 11 boJitiou of the office of county couniiis- b iooers with a view, as expressed by some f the members of the committee, to de .r b isc a iuure ecunuuiitjm bjraicm ui uuuucting the county affairs. Precisely 1 hat shape this change of system shall a *umc does not yet appear clear, even Ti ) the minds of the committee, but a P mltiplication of duties of the auditor nd treasurer, and gratuitous services on a le part of those who may assume souie 11 f the duties of the Board of Coinmis- 0 oners, form some of the details of the ^ reposed. plan. The abolition of one of s* is terms of Court, is also contemplated 81 5 a recommendation. P Seymour positively d:elined to accep ic nomination for democratic governor tl 'New York.

The reporter claimed it was strictly true as the chairman was large and he was respectable, and they were the only two who attended the meeting. 1 ^ i ? The Hamburg Cases Postponed. Judge Wiggin on Tuesday announced in court at Aiken that in the absence of the Atty-General, and taking into consideration the importance of the Hamburg eases, he would not feel warranted in bringing them to trial, nor could he impose on the appointed Solicitor Mr. J. C. Jordan, the burden of preparing so many indictments. The eases were accordingly continued until the January term. Erroneous Reports. J^a.st week erronc ms reports were circulated that a strke had been made amongst rice field laborers on the Savannah river, which were generally credited. From reliable information we find that some of the planters were unnecessarily excited by the organization of a labor union amongst their rice hands, but that no general refusal to work or demand for higher compensation has been mado and the rice harvest is progressing very favorably. An enthusiastic democratic meeting is reported by the Journal of Commerce as being held in Beaufort. Natives, northprnprs find nprrrnPQ trorp thprp pr> maecp Very spirited addresses were made and great terror is felt at the demonstration, by the radicals.

YELLOW JACK IN SAVANNAH. BtMiifort and Port Royal. Precautionary Meannrc*. The Embargo on Goods and Passenger*. Strict Quarantine. Rumors were first circulated in Beaufort of the yellow fever in Savannah about three weeks ago, but little attention was paid to them as no mention wa.? made of it in the Savannah papers, and the reports were repeatedly contradicted. The first authentic report was received on Wednesday the 30th ult. in a telegram f.om the Mayor of Savannah to our Intendant, reporting a few sporadic cases in the eastern section of the city, and the following day the Savannah papers con tained accounts of it. It appeared there had been cases in the city for some ten days, and physicians had generally reported cases in their practice on the previous Monday. For the week ending Aug 28th there were 39 deaths in the city frotn all causes, of which nine were reported as deaths from yellow fever. On Wednesday and Thursday tliere were eleven interments of yellow fever cases. On Friday seven more were added to the death list. Saturday nine, Sunday seven, Mond; y ten, Tuesday 10. The reports received on Tuesday of the progress of the disease were not as enjmraging as those of previous days. Un Monday there were forty-one new jasc against twenty-four for Sunday. For some days the excitement in Savmnah was intense, every train leaving Savannah being crowded with refugees. Dn Thursday the city of Charleston put in embargo on all passengers from Savinnah entering there, and sent an officer the Yemassee junction to warn those vho had fled from Savannah, thus leadng Beaufort Port Royal and Augusta to >ecoine places of refuge. The Intendant of Beaufort on Thurslay issued his proclamation esablishing a strict quarantine, and iiitructed the marshal to send an officer to femassee to stop all parties from Savinnah eutering the cars for Bjaufort, his left Port Royal exposed, and on the lext day the municipal authorities there irohibited all persons from 8avannah s jtering their limits, and several parties laving found there way from that city to oth these places have been compelled to eave. 1 At a mccti .g of the Beaufort town 1 ouncil on Friday, a delegation from Port < loyal was present and decided on a cor:- ' ert of action in regard to quarantine. ' The present season at both Beaufor* ' nd Port Royal has been remarkable for < ts general hcalthfulness, there having J een fewer cases of malarious fevers than * ;>r many years. s Beaufort is clean and unless the fever is ' rougbt here from infected districts we < hiuk there is no cause for apprehension; < lthough this feeling of security must not t under us less vigilant in taking every < recaution for its prevention. The people have had evidence in the 1 ction of the officorsof the town in several I 1 stances where parties have surreptiti- i usly entered the town from Savannah, i lat the municiple authorities intend to I rictly enforce quarantine, they also t ipply all with disinfectants. Employees c F the town are using them in all public laqes, but our people generally must rail themselves of the advantages of | F ie.se preventives. Th'c ihrot elements' c iat are said to be conducive to tbeiufro-1 p iction n: d propogation of yellow fever, I S e heat, moisture and filth. , p tie first two are beyond our control, but J tl e latter is not, and it is the duty that j n ^ nil rhould make use of the means provided by the town to throughly cleuse and disinfect their premises. COUNTY CONVENTION. During Sunday, delegates to the convention arrived in town, and by the appointed hour for assembling on Monday. | a full representation from each voting precinct wn* present. The following wore appointed a committee on credeir I tials : Messrs T. E. Miller, M. W. Simmons, J. I?. Ibiseomb. J. W. .[ones, W. C. Scott, ami Renty F. Greaves. During the absence of this committee Mr. II G. Judd led off in the folluwing song, which being set to a familiar air, will no doubt become popular during the campaign. Tunc?TANKET DOODLE. Just riow's the time to rally, boys, For 'lection soon is coming, From every hill and valley, boys, We want to hear the humming: And no Itepublican will shrink From thunders loud or loudei, Rut while he trusts In God, will think To keep secure his powder. Time's up, and every soldier, boys, Must listen for the orcWr, That like an angel's clarion, boys, Comes ringing down the border. Each true Republican will clasp Ills ballot for protection, And, never-more relax his grasp. Till eomcs the day of 'lection. But dornt be gulled by tories, boys A Democrat's a tory, Who, while you do the hard work, boys, Takes all the cash and glory; Just now they pat you on the back, And say ' we hope you will then Switch off upon the other track, And vote with us for Tilden " Do'nt do it, for most surely, boys You'd live to rue the action, Which took you from the party, boys. Elsewhere for satisfaction : Can you believe the Dj i oc ra Who calls you man, and brother ? W DO u, peruapa iue miuio uiu ri* That sold you from your mother. No ! stick to principle, my boys, That course will always pay you ; Hold fast to old old friends, my boys. Who never will betray you ; Take connael of your judgement now. And on a tried foundation Resting securely, live and grow To greatuess, with the nation. A committee on permanent organization was appointed. Lieut. Gov. Gleaves was invited to address the convention and made a soul stirring speech that was greeted with loud and repeated cheers. He demanded equal rights and privileges for all men, and protection to cast their ballots without fear and intimida tion arguing that it was a system of intimidation that had carried the States of Georgia and Mississippi out of the hands of the republicans. He denounced the course pursued by the opposition in the State, injgoing to political meetings armed to the teeth, and showed how this example was being followed by the colored men, and if any trouble ensued the oppo. sition would be responsible for it, but their attitude hal hai the opposite effect from that desired by the democracy, ,? r> if L n < 1 wrv .nmtoil t Kn wnnn klt/ta n nortn |V9 II nail IC Ullll^VI II1U 1 v | ' U Mil vrt 1J pal f had assisted in healing sectional dissensions, and the p irty was inarching as one man, and he ex] ec'ed that the countieof Aiken and Edgefield, in which the policy of armed intimidation had been inau gurated and carried on to a greater extent than in other counties, would cast a heavier vote than they had before. In conclusion he referred to the work accomplished in Congress by the repre.se r. tative of the fifth district, the Hon. Rob ert Smalls ; the convention endorsing his remarks with cheer upon cheer. The committee on credentials reported aud after4'debate!their report was adopted. The principal contest was between rival delegates from Gardner's Corner, that headed by Benj. Devoe obtaining their seats. The committeo on permanent organiza tion, reported the following as permanent oncers: Presidents, H>:i. Robert Sraills, Vice-Presidents, Hon R. H. Gleaves, and X. B. Myers Secretaries H. G. Judd, and C. Valentine; Sergeant at Arms H. Bee and Simon Green. After prayer by the Rev. J. B. Middleton a committee of five on platform and resolution was appointed as follows : Messrs Bampfield, Wigg, Washington, Lawrence and Scott. The rules of the lower Mouse of Representatives were adopted. The convention toook a recess until four o'clock p. m. and immediately after re-assembling S. J. Bampfield Esq. read the followiug resolutions, prepared during i the recess by the committee appointed for that purpose : Resolved, That we the republicans of Beaufort Co. in convention assembled do adopt and reaffirm the platform adopted at Cincinnati by the national republican invention, as embodying the true principles upon which the administration of affairs of the national government should be conducted, and as containing an honest pledge to the country to couduct the iffairs of the government in the best pos >ible manner to secure reform in the civil service, an early resumption of specie payments, full and ample protection to the citizens of the Uniteu States of all parties domiciled in the South, a faithful collec;ionof the public revenues and an hon:st lisbursement of the same. Resolved, That we heartily and unanimously endorse the nominations of R. B. [Iayes of Ohio, for President and Wm. i \. Wheeler, of New York for Vice-Pres- t dent of the United States, aud hereby ( dedge ourselves individually and collecivelv to use all honorable means to se- a ure their triumphant election on the 7th ii lay of November next. ( Resolved, That we congratulate the re- p mblican party and the country upon the j hoice of the Cincinnati convention for , ti resident and vice-president of the United q Itatcs, in whose lives and character those t< uplic and privato virtues so necessary in si bose high offices to-day are so conspicu- o us: and whose past services both in I peace and in war, give so many guaran- ; tecs of their intentions and ability to \ translate into living realities the declarations made in their letters of acceptance. Resolved, That reform is needed in every branch of the State government and we demand that the State convention shall nominate such men only as by their char acter and public services will guarantee a reduction of taxation, a faithful collection of the revenues and an honest disbursement of the same, a rigid accountability of all public officers and a vigorous prosecution of those who arc derelict of duty, ample facilities for the education of all the youths in the State, and a reduction in the expenses of the government to the lowest possible limit consistent with honesty and efficiency and a tax levy sufficient only to meet the necessary expenses of the government. Resolved, That the only honest pledge of a faithful fulfilment of these promises must be found in the character and public services of those put in nomination by the State convention, and that we instruct our delegates to said convention to vote for such men only whose past history and character public and private are a sufficient guarantee of their intention and ability to carry out both in letter and spirit the above promises. Resolved, in the true spirit of civil ser" vice reform, that when a public servant is found to be "the right man in the right place" he should be kept theie and the citizens of Beaufort most earnestly invoke the aid of the other counties in this congressional district in securing the re-nomination and triumphant re-election of Hon. Robt. Smalls as a delegate to the 45th Congress. Resolved, That we contemplate with pride and satisfaction the record of our congressman from the 5th congressional district, Hon. Robt. Smalls, who so faithfully and ably represented us during the last Congress and hereby tender him our hearty and united support for re-clec* tion to the 45th Congress, pledging ourselves individually and hereby instruct the delegates to the Congressional convention to use all honorable means to?secure his nomination and election. Resolved, That we recognize the pa triotic services of the Hon. R. II. Gleaves as Licut-Gov. of the State and hereby in. struct the delegates to the State convention to exhaust every honorable means within their powers to secure his nomination and we pledge ourselves personally to work unceasingly for the same result. Resolved, That we heartily and cheerfully endorse the Hon. N. B. Myers, as a candidate for the office of Secretary of State a> d hereby instruct the delegate^ to the State convention to give him their united and undivided support and to cm ploy all honorable meaus to secure his nomination before the convention. Resolved That we do publicly express our deprecation and abhorance of all kinds and phases of violence, intimidation, dis. turbances of the peace or unlawlful conduct of any character and hereby declare our intention and desire to have an open and peaceful canvass of the county and a fair and honest election at all hazards. Mr. Tlios. Hamiltou objected to their adoption unless the name of his candidate for Governor was included. He though if they endorsed any for election the; ought to include Governor Chamberlain, who, although he differed from him on many things, yet in the aggregate h<* believed had accomplished more good than auy governor since reconstruction. He claimed that in thus urging the claims of Mr. Chamberlain for endorsement lie was representing a majority of the people of the Beaufort precinct who had endorsed Chamberlain some months ago and in his opinion he thought if the convention nominated Chambcrlaiu at Co." urnlia. the party would be successful in November, although he would not go so far as to say that they would not succeed if they did not. Hon. Robert Smalls took the floor in opposition to instructions of any kind to the delegation, as he was opposed to it as a principle, and furthermore would not vote for any resolutions endorsing either directly or indirectly, Daniel II Chamberlain. He repudiated the assjrtion that a majority of the people in the Beaufort precint were in favor of endorsing Chamberlain, and as to his endorsement at the public meeting in Beaufort, he understood that those who endorsed him then had a few nights ago joined a democratic club and were pledged to support Wade Hampton. He for one had not seen such good works performed by Chamberlain that the republicans of Beaufort county should say, "well done Lhou good and f ithful servant." He araa snrrr that his friend had forced this juestion ou the convention, for he had leclared on the stump that for the sake )f harmony they might vote for Chamberlain and he would say agaiu that f Chamberlain was nominated he would lo all in his power to elect him, al- , hough he has done nothing to command ;he endorsement of this convention. He lesired the delegates to go untrammeled , jo Columbia, to vote for any one they :hoose, and he desired that any portion >f the resolutions that oould be construed 1 nto pledging the delegation should be roted down, and although he was sorry | o say it, he would have to decline to i ?rve them as a delegate if the conven- ' ion pledged themselves to vote for { Chamberlain. < Mr. Peter Robinson, moved that the i mendment ot Mr. Hamilton to include n the resolutions the uame of D. II. < Chamberlain* should be indefitiately rostponed. J Mr. Hamilton again urged the adop- 1 ion of his amendment, and yielding to a uestion from Mr. Bampfield was asked t 3 give a single reason why the convention ; f< hould endorse Chamberlain. By way J c f answer he gave the reasons why Mr. lumpfield did not desire to be a delegate i. ! mm a mm W AXTEr> T0 BrY A house, la risk <>b \\ email, with a lot of half an acra or more in Beaufort, also ui the vicinity h tract of g<vd | farm laii'I of from ten to h hutt'Jre 1 a~r*s or more ; Address, statin r the lo ation, price, terms and giving all other particular!.

The Canvass on the Savann ah River, Bluffton Sept. 2.?We have had a series of political meetings, in this section during the past three or four days. Messrs. Wheeler, Gantt, Miller, and Simmons, have addressed large crowd8 at this place, at Levy's X Roads and flardeeville. The democrats put in no appearance. The labor trouble that was brewing prior to these meeting have entirely subsided, the speakers advising them to peaceable measures to secure their object in view in striking. The party has never been stronger than it is at present in this section, and a better feeling exists amongst all classes. We expect a quiet election although a greater number of voters will turn out at the polls. At the last election nothing near a full vote was oast, but the organization of the democratic party in this State has infused a uew spirit into the ranks of the republicans and whoever is nominated on the republican state and county ticket will receive a warm support. The people down here are talking of Mr. Wheeler who is a hard worker in the party, for {school commissioner, and of course they want to sec Wm W lson as Sheriif and Samuel Green as Senator a.ain. We hear some talk also of a change in other count/* officers. There arc no names mentioned as yet, but I will ad vise you before convention. C. M. STATE SOUTH CAROLINA,") > Court of Probate.
