It is no longer a matter of doubt as to the holdiugof
a convention, on the first of next month,
of such Republicans as seek a reform in the
present administration of the Government
iu nearly all its departments. Such men as
B. Gratz Blown. Carl Schurz. Lyman Trum- I
bull, Horace Greoly, have declared themselves J
iu favor of such a reform, and the mighty I
hosts are prepariug for another contest at
the polls. The Cincinnati Convention, if it
carries out the declared purpose of its probable
leaders, will adopt a platform of which
amnesty, civil service reform, the abolition
of government patronage to sworn supporters
regardless of character, the return to constitutional
principles, will be some of the
features. 11'that Convention should adopt
and declare such a platform, in uo material,
or important respect difi'ercut from that!
adopted by tho Reformers of this State two !
years ago, then it would behove us to reflect
whether vse cannot organize a party here upon
the same platform. If there be anyifcopc ;
of succeeding, let us organize, but if not, Jet1
us not help Grant by causing a heavy major-1
ity to be rolled up here for liim, which!
would be the case if we fought a regular j
campaign. It is thought that a great many '

see if the acliou of the Cincinnati Convention
will be such as they can consistently take
hold ou, and if the callers really seek a reformation
in the government, and if so, they >
will then declare'themselves as Liberals and '
throw themselves into the scales of reform.
Lhero may bo a very serious schism in the
dominant party of this States if Moses opposes
Scott for Governor. Were we called
upon to make choice between these two, we
would go for Scott, but suppose there be a
third man from their ranks who seeks
gubernatorial honors, a man such as Judge
Orr, or Judge Melton or Graham. Each of
these, though a deserter of his brethren, is a
: ?ffiiofT- mon flinn
more lfsjiutiauic, auu nuovj
or Closes.
besides, wo understand that there is to be
an effort to establish a Government whoso
officials will all be colored. F. L. Cardoza
for Governor, Ilonry Cardoza Sec'y State&c,
would jrobably constitute some of the lights
of that effort. Can such an effort succeed?
If the leaders of such a movement can procure
a majority of followers in the Nominating
Convention, they will be very apt to
succeed, for their nominees will be regular,
while any others would be outside bolters.
Let them once secure the regular nominations,
and they will succeed, unless the discipline
of the Radical party h.'ia grown more !
lax in the last two years. As yet, we see no
reason to believe that we, the minority in
South Caroliua, can benefit ourselves other- j
wise than by pursuing a course similar to ;
that indicated by us a short time since, to. j

message giving the reasons which induced (tic '
suspeur>ion of civil liberty in certain portions 1
of the State of South Carolina, which amounts
to nothing less than a vindictive attack upon '
a portion of the country he is sworn to defend, j
The document hears more of the impress of
tho reckless assertions of a stump orator than
the magnanimous policy of a just ruler, and
from the extravagance of the charges it is
quite evident that this State paper was prepared
with the view of cngendciing bitter
feelings to affect the resulted'a political campaign.
The broad and shameful charges
wade against the people which he has, in the
opiniou of many of tho prominent uien of his
own party, oppressed unnecessarily, is only
another proof of the desperate efforts that
are to be made to secure a re-election by j
arousing hostilities. The vindictiveness of
this document caused a universal feeling of
disgust to pervade the House, and led some
of the Democratic members to stigmatize its ,
assertions as untrue, and the failure of any ;
of the Republican side to attempt its vindi- j
eation is undoubted evidence of their want
of belief in the charges and their utter destitution
of defence. No attempt was made to
debate, but the Democrats gave notice that j
they wonld, at the proper time, entirely re- I
fute each statement made: and would by a ;
production of the proofs show the degrading ;
position in which the President had placed j
himself. The slander?for the message is
nothing else but slanderous charges upon the
people of South Carolina?is as follows:
To tlu: House of Representatives:?In answer
to the Resolution of the FIouse of Representatives
of January 23, I have the honor
to submit the following, accompanied by
the report of the Attorney General, to whom
the resolutions were referred:
Representations having been made to mo
that in certain portions of South Carolina a
condition of lawlessness and terror existed,
I requested the then Attorney General (Akcriaan)
to visit the Shite, aud after personal
examination, to report to me tho facts on the
subject. On the 16th of October la> t lie addressed
a communication from South Carolina
in which he stated that in the counties
of York, Spartanburg, Laurens, Lancaster,
Chester, Union, Newberry, Fairfield and
-Chesterfield, ilitere were combinations for
a?em uiwmwwm?n?? hi ibh iwwmww? ?w
the purpose of preventing the free political
actions of citizens who were friendly to the 1
Constitution and Government of the Uuited I
States, and of depriving the emancipated I
class of the equal protection of the laws.? i
These combinations embrace at least two- 1
thirds of the activelyliitc men of those coun- i
ties, and have the sympathy and countenance <
of the majority of the other third. They arc 1
connected with smilar combinations in other i
counties and States, and ar arc, no doubt a 1
part of a grand system of criminal associations
pervading the Southern States. The i
members are bound together by oaths which ;
they arc taught to regard as of higher obligation
than the lawful oath taken before a
magistrate; they are organized and armed;
they effect their objects by persona! violence; i
often extending to murder; they terrify witnesses,
they control juries in the State courts,
and some times in the courts of Uni ed
States. Systematic spying is ono of the
means by which prosecution of members is
defeated. From information given by officers
of the State and of the United States,
1.,. ..Kin nriv.itfi riorsons.T am ius
UliU VI VUiCUk/iV ? ? ?? ? -j ? ^
tilled in affirming that the instances of personal
violence perpetrated by the members of
those combinations within the last twelve
months in the above named counties could
be reckoned by thousands.
1 received information of similar import
from various sources, among which worn the
Joint Committee of Congress on Southern
Outrages, the officers of the State, the Military
officers* of the United States on duty
in South Carolina, the United States Attorney
and Marshal, and other officers of the
Government, repentant and adjuring members
of these unlawful organizations, persons
especially employed by the department of
justice to detect crimes again t the United
States, and from other credible sources.?
Most, if not all this information, except that
obtained from the Attorney General, came to
me orally, and was to the effect that said
counties were under the control of powerful
organizations, properly known as tho "KuKlux
Klati," tlicobjcct3 of which were, by
force and terror to prevent all political action
not in accord with the views of its members,
to deprive colored citizens of the right to
a free ballot, to suppress schools in which
colored children were taught, and to reduce
the colored people to a condition nearly allied
to that of slaves; that these combinations
were organized and armed, aj^l had rendered
the local law-ineffectual to protect the class
ofeifizens whom they wished to oppress;
tSut they had committed many murders and
hundreds of crimes of minor degice. all of
which were unpunished, and that witnesses
could not safely testify in court there unless
the uiorc active members were placed under
restraint.
(Signed) U. S. GRANT,
Executive Mansion, Ajirilldlh, 1872.
It wiii thus be seen that s President of
the United States has descended to appear
before the country as the vindictive enemy
of a helpless people, and who, to achieve certain
ends of his own, is willing to destroy
the social as "well as public standing of the
citizens of a portion of the country. The intention
of this "message" is two-fold : first,
to inflame the public mind, and by the aid
of his reckless supporters attempt to create a
new the old feelings of sectional hatred; and
second, to force through the exhibition of
this distorted picture the passage of the extension
of bayonet rule over the South. It
hits been developed during the lastfdtt weeks,
that many prominent Radicals have reponted
of placing so great power in the hands of
such and indiscrete Chief Magistrate, and
are also becoming alarmed at tbe feeling
which is arisingat the prospect of forcing the
election of Grant at the point of the bayo
? 1 '1 1 _f_A
not, and in consequence hits norriuic picture
is drawn to increase the ill-feeling of the
JSudical Congressmen, and induce them,
while wholly under this feeling, to acquiesce
the wishes of the reckless leaders, and vote
to allow the Southern vute.to be manipulated
by the army ring in the interests of the
Philadelphia nominee: The message was refcrre
1 to the committee 011 the Insurrectionary
Sta-es.
The Great Eastern.?Many ofour readers
will recollect the excitement in the world
over the launching of the Great East:rn sonic
years ago. This mammoth steamer was originally
designed as the forerunner of a fleet
of similar vessels to bring Europe and the
cast into closer communication. After she
had made one or two (rips, however, the company
owning her, opened their eyes to the
fact that they had indeed got air elephant on
tbjir hands.. It became apparent that she
could not be made to pay. The expenses of
running her were vust, and it was demonstrated
that it was almost impossible to procure
suflicient freight or passengers to justify her
being kept in the service for which she was
intended. She was the frst, ami will prob
ably be the last vessel of'her size in the world,
and would long ago have been dismantled and
broken up had not a new use been focud for
her, viz: The laying of deep sea telegraph
cables,. Since 1805 she has been exclusively
devoted to submarine telegraphic purposes,
and since that time has laid in different parts
of of the world 20,000 miles of deep sea cable?all
of which is now in good working order.
The capital invested in these various
cables is estimated at $35,000,000. The services,
then, rendered to commerce and navigation
by ilie Great Eastern, are almost incalcnlab
e. !i imc has been anihilatcd, and
all the fiuiilios of men brought within speaking
dist nice of each other by her assissaucc.
But for the Great Eastern, it is almost ccr
tain that the Atlantic cable would not liave
been laid. The lingo vessel was alone capable
of affording the adulate accommodations
necessary lor stowing away the thousands of
miles of heavy cable necessary, and, above
all she alone was found to possess the evenness
or steadiness requisite for paying it out
without difficulty or disaster.
The Tress (Philadelphia) well says :
' The stem purpose of the patriotism of the
country must not be relaxed until life and
liberty are secure in every township of the
South?until every acre of its rich soil shall
bloom with the prosperity of free labor."
Good ! capital! excellent! But, neighbor 1
suppose the villianswho run the government
of South Carolina (for instance) in the abused
and disgraced name of Republicanism,
persist in stealing more every year than the
surplus product of this free labor," so as to <
sink the people deeper and deeper into debt <
in spite of the best exertions, what do you 1
propose to do about it ??New York Tribune, i

Ax Ungrateful Railroad.?Jones
bad beard about a widow who bad saved a
train of cars from destruction by warning
the engineer as the train approached that a
certain bridge had been washed away^ aud
who was liberally rewarded, receiving a pass
Tor life ou nearly all the railroads in the
country, and a present of ten thousand dollars
from the company whoso- train she
saved; so Jones thought it pretty prolitable
business, and concluded he'd tnrjt.
lie lived near a railroad brpjge, and he
anxiously watched and waited for it to wash
away, feeling sure that it must #9 sometime,
livery rainy night he got up and paced the
floor by spells, then took his umbrella and
went out to see if the bridge was beginning
to go; but it was not gone. <*r
At last lie concluded that if an accident
would not happen of its own accord, he
would make one to order, so he got up a
high bank at the side of the traqk ono afternoon
and rolled a big stone down upon the
track. t
It was just a few moments before the lightning
express was due, and throwing off his
coat and hat so as to appear as excited as
possible, be went forth to meet it. lie saw
it coming in the distance, so ho tied a red
cotton handkerchief to a hoe^ handle and
waved it above his head in a wild, excited
manner, as a signal of danger." But he presented
such a singular appearance that the
engineer thought him a crazy tnan escaped
from a tieigliboring lunatic ?*t urn, and so
paid no heed to him, and thtwrain thundered
on. JL
There was a sudden whfelle of t'dowu
brakes," a rapid reversing of the engine,
then a terrible crash. The tram was wrecked;
the engineer and^firemen were instantly
killed, the conductor and all the brakemen
dangerously if not fatally wounded, and
about ten per cent, of the passengers horribly
mangled.
Jones didn't get a pass for / life on the
principal railroads of the qountry and a
nurse of ?10.000, but he got; ten years in
X . _
the penitentiary for manslasgbter; having
been seen by a neighbor when in the act of
rolling the rock on the track ~"wbu:h caused
the calamity.
And now he is learning to manufacture
shoes by the original process, and is of the
opinion that railroads are a^curse to the
country.
A Stolen Will?A Brooklyn Estate
of $250,000 Involved.?flaring
the winter Mr. Harvey Or. Law, a wealthy
resident of Brooklyn, E. I)., died at his residence,
215 South Ninth street, leaving an
estate valurd at from 8250,00(Tto $300,000.
At the time of his death j>Ir. Law's only
daughter was in Europe on a wedding tour.
On hearing of the death the bridal party returned
and took up their residence in the
Law mansion. On Tuesday evening at about
7 o'clock, while the afflicted family were dining
in the basement, their colored servant
heard a noise on the second story, and he
wont toasceitaiu the cause ofit He had no
sooner reacheJ the locality of the noise
than a person dressed in the cost jmc of the
devil?as represented on trie stage?prt-acin.ed
a pistol to Ids head. This unexpected
demonstration quite demoralized the poor
servant, and he uttered no alarm. The s; tanic
apparition then descended to the basement,
protruded his horns into tho dining
room, terrifying those at dinger. Having
succeed in accomplishing tbt&TcUi he left
the mansion uninulested. "V*
After the fiend's departure the family
found that Mr. Law's will, a gold watch,
other articles of jewelry and papers of greatvalue
were missing. Aud thereby-hangs a
tale.
Another one of General Grant's friends
and appointees (says the Philadelphia Aye)
has been indulging in a little '> Radical
financiering. Geo. T). Orncr, Collector of
Revenue for the Fifth District of Missouri,
has only served two years, and ycfc his records
3how that he is 8100,000 behind in
pacing over government money-; 850.000
per year in addition to his regular pay is good
wages for Orner,, who is a red hot supporter
nf C! rant for rcnomination, and denounces
Sumner, Trumbull and Schurzns traitors and
disloyal men. In all quarters of the country.
General Grant's office-holders are stealing
the people's money, in sums from one hundred
dollars to a half a million. And what
is done to punish the guilty parties and protect
the Treasury ? Nothing. Political influences
arc brought to bear upon the Government;
the ability of the cufprits to elect
delegates stated, and there the matter ends.
In the case of Orner this path will be followed,
and he will enjoy his plunder in
pcagc.
A Queer. Case.?Dr. II. Vogcl, writing
from Germany to the Philadelphia Pholoffrajihrr,
relates a queer case. A photographer
made pictures of two brothers, who refused
to take or pay for tho them, on the
ground that they were not likenesses. The
artist complained, but the judge was of the
same opinion as the brothers, and decided
that the pictures were not likenesses. Mr.
Photographer then went home with his rejected
pictures and placed them in his show
window, with the label. "The Murderers of
Mrs. X." The brothers then waited on the
artist and alleged that it was a libel to expose
their pictures with such ittitlc, and on
his refused to remove the placard they entered
suit. It wmains to he seen how the judge
vi'it In this new phase of the affair.?

and Cel. Thomas G. Bacon, of Edgefield,
South Carolina. The bets were two hundred
dollars on each fight and twenty-five
hundred dollars on the main. Thirty-one
cocks were shown on each side, and twentylive
birds matched The South Carolinians
and Gcrgians were defeated by three lights.
A very large amount of money changed
hands on the result.
A painter being asked to estimate the
cost of painting a certain house, drew forth
pencil and paper and made the following
calculation: 4iA naught is a naught; three
into five twice you can't; I'll paint your
house for fifty dollars."
A Southern newspaper gets indignant
because a Northern writer has said that the
women of the South are indolent, and then
concedes the whole case by declaring that
:<they have dono nothing" to deservo such
an accusation.
At the Roman Catholic Cathedral, in
Rochester, New York, on Sunday, the 7th

that hereafter not more than twelve hacks
would bo allowed in a funeral proeession.
Those who came with a greater equipage
would find the cemetary gates locked. Nor
would fuucruls bo allowed on Sunday if they,
could be conveniently arranged for another
day. Priests will not be permitted in funerdiscourses
to indulge in any eulogy of the

regulations, the Bishop said, might have
their funerals outsido tlio walls of the

Died Suddenly op Heart Disease.?
flow common is the announcement. Thousands
arc suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal malady. This disease generally has its
origin in impure blood filled with irritating.
poisonous materials, which, circulating
through the heart, irritate itsdelicatc tissues.
Though the irritation may at first be only
slight, producing a little palpitation or irregular
action, yet by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and inflammation or
hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining
membrane or of the valves, is produced.
How wise to give early atention to a case of
this kind. Uunat-urul throbbing or pain in
" l-?i j :ui.
tlie region 01 me neart bhouiu aimuiuuun
one that ?I1 is not right, and if you would
preserve it frnin further disease, you must
help it to beat rightly by the use of such a
remedy as shall remove the cause of the
trouble. Use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery before the disease has become too
seated, and it will, by its great blood purifying
and wonderful regulating properties, effect
a perfect cure. It contains medicinal
properties which act specifically ipon the
tissues of the heart, bringing about a healthy
action. Suid by all first-class druggists.
The Trie Grounds of Confidence.?
Whence comes that firm reliance, that absolute.
undiuibting confidence in the efficacy
of Ilostetter's Stomach Hitters, as a remedy
for dyspepsia, for liver disorders, intermittent
and remittent fevers, which notoriously
prevail in all "parts of the United States??
This confidence has been growing for twenty
years, and is still extending. It is not the
result of credulity, it has not been engendered
by any human device, but is the spontaneous
and natural consequence of experience.
What people see daily going on under their
own eyes tliey cannot question. When families
in unhealthy districts, that resort to this
wholesome vevetable tonic, as a preventative
escaper periodical levers, ana tneir linuicuiate
neighbors, who neglect this precaution
arc prostrated by disease, how is it possible
that the lesson should be without its effect ?
In like manner when it is seenthutobstinate
cases of dyspepsia, liver complaint, of constipation,
of nervous weakness and of general
debility yield to the operations of this famous
remedy, how can even incredulity itself, withhold
its endorsement ? Kyc-witnesses of the
salutary effects oftheso famous bitters are
to be found in every inhabited district on
this continent. The thousands upon thous.
amis who owe their restoration to strength
and health to or their preservation from
sickness, to its extraordinary medicinal properties.
are enthusiastic in its praise. The
multitudes who recommend it in a neighborly
way to their friends and acquaintances,as
well as those who make public their estimate
of its virtues, arc always ready to state tneir
reason for the faith that is in them. They
have all cither felt or witnessed its bcnificial
effects.
