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

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

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

mltiplication of duties of the auditor
nd treasurer, and gratuitous services on a
le part of those who may assume souie 11

Tjik description given by democratic i
correspondents, of "large and enthusiastic
meetings heul in ten by twelve law office*.
calls to our mind the reply made by
a reporter, who wn? asked to explain his
account of a "large and respe:tal>!?' meet
mg by the chairman. 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.

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

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,

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

to a close.
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.
