The long looked for opening of tbc j
C entennial Exposition took place Inst |
Wednesday, aud w.is witnessed by over
two hundred thousand people. The day
before was rainy and cold and the ardor
of the projectors was correspondingly
d caponed by a prospect of a disagreeable
day; this day of the century to them.
Oid prohabihtes however arranged for
thcin a beautiful day and Philadelphia
put 011 her gay apparel and those who
i . uld leave their shops and boarding
houses congregated at the exhibition
grounds to see the great show opened.
Governors of States, officers ot the army
and r.avy, foreign and native exhibitors, I
happy guests with tickets and contentcd
guests with silver half-dollars in
t heir pockets, gentlemen, scholars, bummers,
and adventurers jostled each other
in every direction.
The invited guests numbered some
four thousand, representatives of almost

navy officers, members of congress and a
host of others. When President Grant
mounted the platform the band struck
up '"Hail to the chief," but Dom Pedro,
who was to have been honored on liis
arrival by the Brazilian national hymn,
showed his disregard of formalities and
his want of appreciation of a grand
reception by coming on tbe stage
quietly \\ hile the hand was tooting in
honor of someone of less royal blood.
At 10 o'clock, at a signal from Gen.
Huwley, the American flag was unfurled
from the main building, the Halteujah
Chorus was rendered with orchestral and
orgau accompaniment, and a salute of
*100 guns was tired* from George's Hill,
together with the ringing of chimes from
different parts of the ground. During
be performance of the chimes Ihe Foreign
Commissioners passed from the
llain Building upd took place in the
general aiale betore their respective
U'partments; after which, President
rani, accompanied Dy Director-General |
Goshorn, followed by the guc3ts of the
fay, also passed into the Main
Building, and thence to Machinery Hull
and from there to the Judge's'quarters,
where a reception by the President
was held. The procession headed by
ihe President, after passing through the
3Iaia Exhibition Buildftg, passed to the
Machinery Hall, where the Presideut,
as sisted by Dom Pedro, put iu motion
?>In great engine, thus starting ail the
machinery in that building. Tins closed
tie formal ceremonies of the day.
The annual Convention of the Episcoth?
Church assembled in Columbia last
"Wednesday, Bishop Howe presiding.
The most important question before the
-r.rfty was whether St. Mark's Church
'colored) should be admitted to the
convention. At the last convention a
~v nmittee w is appointed to" report as to
. i?e expediency of the admission of
;it. Mark's and after three different
imports from the committee, the members
of which could not agree among themselves,
and an address from the
TAshop advocating the admission the
application was rejected, although a
Majority of the delegate s voted in favor
.^-two thirds being necessary.
The National Committee of the Liberal
Tfcpublienn party held a meeting in
New York last week, thirty-one states
being represented. After some discussion
it was resolved that the party organ.
izatio* should be maintained. Each |
ef the representatives then reported the
condition of affairs in his Btate. It was !
snid that in several Stnjtes the party j
practically held the balance of power, j
On motion it was resolved that a national
convention should be held in Philadel-1
pbia on the 2<5th of July. The call for
the convention invites all citizens" who
believe in equal rights, civil service
reform and specie payments, and who
are in favor of placing honest men at the
lead of the government, to join in sending
delegates. On mniinn
Kill an Allen wtjg authorized to annul the
call for tho convention if cither the
Republican or Democratic convention,
or both of them, should nominate for
Picaident a man who in his judgement,
will worVout the reforms specified in the
roM. Neatly all of those present favored
Mr. Bristow, as their first choice for the
Presidency. Of the Republicans, Bristow,
Adams, Ilnyes and Washburne were
mentioned a* satisfactory to the reform
enthnent of the country. Among the
Democrats, liter.nu.es of Tildcn, Thur.
loan ^?d Buynrd were spoken of. Much
voqfldeace was expressed that by proper
'grtod man could be. forced on one

The road to wealth through the claims j
commission is not so smooth as holders
of fraudulent claims might desire. The
following rules adopted by the commissioners
will be interesting to many of
our readers, as Beaufort county contains
many claims that such stringent rules i
will make short work of:
"1. State your name, age, residence!
and occupation. 2. From whom and j
when did you receive said claim? 15. If ;
said claim was assigned to you, for what!
consideration was it assigned? 4. Do j
you know the person named in the body ;
ot the claim? 5. State the act, rcsolu-!
itonorauthoritity under which said claim I
was issued, by reference to volume and
cage where the same may be found. 0.
State the consideration on which the
claim is based, particularly the services
rendered, articles or supplies furnished
to the state, by whose order and to whom
delivered, giving date and place of delivery.
7. Has said person received from
any officer ot the State any other evi
acnce of indebtedness for the same services,
articles or supplies for which this
claim is made.
8. Has the claim been paid in whole
or in part to the person named in the
body of the certificate, or to any one for
iiis benefit, or to his assigns or legal
representatives? If so, what part thereof
lias boon paid, when and to whom?
9. State anything further that yon desire
with reference to the claim. In answering
the above interrogation the
claimant willcofine himself to facts within
his own knowledge. If any statements
are made upon information and
belief, the person from whom such information
was derived must be named and
his residence and post office addressjbe
given. Further if the claimant cannot
answer the above interrogatories
from his personal kno.vlcdgo, he must
obtain the affidavit of the original holder,
or some other person who is
I acquainted with the facts. The answers
to the interrogatories must be sworn, to
before a clerk of the circuit cou' t and
be returned with this paper to the secretary
of the commission."
It does not appear how much proof
will secure the passage of a claim, nor
how little result iu its being wholly
disallowed. Probably tl^r commissioners
themselves have not yet decided that
' matter, nor fixed the limits of the discretion
which they properly exercise
under the act. "What remains is for the
! claimants to make the best case for themselves
that they can.
The correspondent of News and Cou
iiv> miico iiiiu Hie Aiiumcy vvencnu Lias
instructed the county treasurer of lviclilnnd
county not to levy upon or advertise
the property of any taxpayer who has
tendered bills of the Bank ot the State in
| payment of taxes, and who has instituted
proceedings in the Courts to have said
bills/eceived in payment thereof. '1 he
News adds: "Advertising and selling
property, wlieie Bank bills have been
tenderded for taxes, is a bare formality,
and might just as well be dropped. As
the bills can he used to redeem the
property if is forfeited to the State,
there is neither rhyme nor reason in
: refusing to accept them before the forfeiture."
The introduction of Hawaiian rice free
of duty as is proposed in the treaty recently
passed by Congress, wilt he follow#
ed by the introduction of Indian rice
free of duty, and this introduction of Indian
rice, raised at nominal cost, will
drive Southern rice out of the market
and ruin the rice planteis. Already the
rice planters are working at an extremely
low rare of profits, and a further decline
in price wiil compel them to abandon
the plantations upon which hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been spent
since the war, thousands of laborers will
be thrown out of employment. Already
the low prices have forced down their
wages from a dollar a day aud over to
seventy-five and fifty cents.
Henry Spnrnick was not convicted in
Aiken 011 the charge of miscondnct in
office although the crime was not denied.
The Judge charged the jury that
although there was fraudulent intention
shown, still that the officii misconduct,
which was all that the indictment charged,
was fully and clearly proven by
the evidence, and but one verdict should
be rendered. The jury stood eleven for
conviction and one for acquittal from the
first balloting. The judge gave them a
sharp rebuke for their failuje to agree,
but was obliged to discharge them.
The speech of Frederick Douglas at
the unveiling of the Lincoln statue in
Washington, shows that ho regards, him
more as a Unionist than an abolitionist.
This is the correct view, but it is one
which not only tlio emancipated race,
but many intelligent whito people, have
not taken, or been willing to take. Mr.
Lincoln lias been popularly looked upon
as a leader of emancipation, whereas
nothing was further from bi9 mind in the
beginning, than to make emancipation u
result of the war. There were those, of
course, who had that covert purpose,
from the flrst, bnt the mass of the Republican
party, like Mr. Lincoln, were led
into the war for the pcrservation ot the
Union, but were involuntarily carried
along, to the satisfaction of the designing,
by the tide of events, to the aboli- j
tioa of slavery. Yet the Republican
traders have succeeded in making the
poor freed in en believe that tlic Republicans
are entitled to their eternal gratitude
and everlasting political allegiance as
the friends and champions, but for whose
disinterested philanthropy the negroes
would never have been delivered from
the house of bondage. When the blacks
become generally as intelligent as Douglas,
they will discover that what Bis
tnarck calls the '"iron dice ol destiny"
falling from above, secured their freedom.
and not the special good will of
any political party. They are really
rather more directly indebted for their
freedom, the Baltimore Sun suggests, to
the persistence of the Southern people in
the war than otherwise; for had the
South availed of the repeated offers of
the Federal Government to save slavery
by laying down their arms, there wonld
have been no general euiancipation.-Colutubia
Phoenix.
?One tiling was demonstrated in the
Convention beyond the shadow of a
doubt, which is that the Democratic
party in South Carolina will no longer
exist in a "moribund" condition, but that
henceforth it will be made effective in
whatever sphere it chooses to act. As an
aggressive minority, pressing forward to
rescue the State from its worst elements
and to secure the control of its public
affairs in a legitimate manner, the Democracy
will exhibit activity, energy and
vitality in its future movements, which
cannot fail to redound to the permanent
interests of the commonwealth. The
apathy and indifference of the past few
years, on the part of many good citizens,
must give way to the higher duties demanded
by the prostrate condition of the
State, and it is incumbent upon all who
really desire to put an end to corrupt
rule to bca>* their share of responsibility
in cleansing the Augean stable.-Anderson
Intelligencer.
?Wc believe that nothing but a straightout
Democratic ticket will unite the
Democracy of the State. We have
not any so-called reform Republicans,
and we can see nothing to be gained by
a coalition with any such. There may
be a few honest men in tlic Republican
ranks, but they are so scnice and so
pliable to the baser demands of that
party that 110 reliance car. be placed in
anything they say in politics. The only
hope for reform iu this State is in the
total defeat of the Republican party, and
the only means of accomplishing that is j
by fighting that party openly and square- j
ly upon a Democratic platform and with I
pure Democratic candidates.-Union j
Times.
A 41.- i '
i?.14ic muwus acis ?i omission |
m which the county treasurer is ably
sconcleil by the county commissioners is
the continued neglect to pay the balance
due on the past due school claims.
As long ago as the month of February
last the holders of these certificates were
informed by an advertisement r in the
organ, which claims to always afford
reliable information, that payment would
be made at the next meeting of the
Board. At the the next meeting the
matter received the fate which is too
frequently apportioned and was postponed.
This do-nothing policy has
prevailed until now, and is likely to
prevail unless the Grand Jury or a judicial
mandamus compel action. The Co.
Treasurer has been holding on the money
which was placed in reserve to pay the
cluims of the Frcedmans Bank should
they be decided legal, and this suin
amounting to over two thousaad dollars
with a poll tax of $2800 added to it
would ne rly cancel every dollar of past
school indebtedness-why this repeated
postponement then?
Among the decorations of the confede
rate monument in Mobile, Alabama, on
memorial day, was a pyrumid of flowers;
"from the officers of the United States
army, stationed at Mount Vernon barracks,
in respect to the fallen brave."
The Emperor of brazil is a wonder to
reception committees and others in this
country who always seek out great personages
for the sake of making a display
of themselves more than as an honor to
the guest when they delight to honor.
Last week the Emperor was presented to
the President, the ceremonies being of
the plainest and simplest character. His
whole diameter, as exhibited in this
country, partakes more of the simple
Democrat than of the royal aristocrat of
which he is a representative. After a
short sojourn in Philadelphia, attcuding
the Centennial exposition, he will make
a tunning tour of the cotton States,
going as iar souui as Kew Orleans.
The Norwegian bark N. C. Kierkegaard
arrived off Martin's Indiistiy on
Saturday night last, and steering
too close in she struck no that shoal and
afterwards, attempting to make St.
Helena liar, was on the breakers off St.
Helena from which she got off leaking
badly, when the captain desired to bring
his vessel to Charleston for repairs, and
left St. Helena on Tuesday for this
port, and on Wednesday she was discovered
off North KJisto, by the St. Helena
pilots, the bark being abandoned, at
anchor and half full of water. In this
condition she was fallen in with during
