BATUIk??Y, April |5 1K76. Convention. Tho State Republican Convention to elect delegates to Cincinnati, met in tho House of Representatives on Tues day last, and adjourned on Thurs day morning. Tho scenes witnessed in the Convention nrc not all proper to be discussed in a decent newspaper. From beginning to end a bitter fight was carried ou between Chamberlain and his enemies. Cardoza wns cleaned out by Elliott, and when the Convention broke up tho watery eyed Treasurer looked like a whipped house cat. Elliott accused him with having attempted to sell out the Republican parly iu the Inst campaign, and proved it by sever al witnesses in the Convention. Car dozr. accused Elliott with having bor rowed money from him, which the Spcnker of the House replied to by saying, "1 had to do so because I am a poor man, never having robbed the Trcnsury. You have had good chances to grab from the public crib and well have you acquitted your self." Fourteen delegates were elected, consisting of II. G. "Worlhingtou, J. J. Patterson, J. McKinley, Dr. Winsmith, Robert Smalls, S. A. Swnils, Jas. II. Rainy, R. 13. Elliott, D. H? Chamberlain, A. S. Wallace, H. C. Corwin, R. H. Gleaves, W. B. Nash, L. Caiu. Augustus B, Knowlton Esq., was elected an altcrunte from this Con gressional District. ^ The Convention was wntche/l'with g?eat dfisA-i>f interest, ns it was com posed of two distinct fractions of the Republican party of this State. A Good Square Hit That Was De served. Says the Bcstou Commercial Bulle tin: . The following, with but slight va riations, will apply to some people not a thousand miles from this place, and the forcible truths cxpj cssed in the conclusion wijl make many a fel low ihink of the time he thought of a ten or twenty per cent proposition to his "creditors"Jon the dollar. A business man in difficulties calls with a long face, on one of his princi pal creditors, and says : "Mr. Prompt, I find, owing to the pressure of the times," I thai] be oblig ed to call a meeting ol my creditors." f'Indoed'," said Prompt, "then you can not meet your liabilities." Debtor?'I regret to say I cannot."' Prompt?'Well, let me sec, how long have you been in business?' Debtor?'About eight years.' Prompt?'How much capital did you have to start with?' Debtor (proudly)?'I had only one thousnnd dodars, sir, and my knowl edge of lbs business, in which I was salesman.' Prompt?,You were since married? Debtor?*Yes.' Prompt?'"Wife any property ?' Debtor?None at all; I have done everything by my own unaided exer tions.' Prompt?'How much do you ex pect to be able to pay to your credi tor ? Debtor??Well, I think I could get out for twenty cents on a dollar.' Prompt?'How much would that leave you after you got your bank ruptcy discarge?' Debtor?'Well, il l could go right on with the old stock, I might realize a couple of thousand dollars, but the creditors couldn't do to much with it., Prompt?'But how about your house in the suburbs? Thnt goes in with the assetts, I suppose.' Debtor?'Well " hardly. That's only worth eix or seven thousand dollar:: nud J settled thnt on my wife two years ago.' Prompt?'H'm, hum ! Let mc see; what, are you liabilities ?' Debtor?'I should, at a rough cal- j cubit ion, say twenty thousand dollars. Prompt (indignantly)?'Why, con found it, sir, it is just such men as you that have been cheating pad are cheating honest men either through your rascality or accursed ignorance. You haven't been solvent, according to your own confession, the whole eight years you have been in trade, I'll be bound. Hero you acknowl edge you started with only one thou sand dollars of real capital; you have your family living eight years, saved out a $7,000 house, and after settling with your creditors will have double the capitpl you began with. Such men as you have no right to bo 'in business for themselves, but should be the employees of those who have brains to guide them. I'll accept no proposition, and on only wish creditors instead of 'setting on their leet" such shams as you to compete with gen uine business men, would send you back into*'the ranks where you be long." _ '\\\_ [communicated.] OiuyQEnuBG, S. O. April 11th 1876. Kdior Orangcburg Ncics and Times. It will be remembered that the Council levied, for the benefit of the Fire Department, a tax of one mill, (which will not realize more than two hundred ($200); at their last meet ing they appropriated to the use of | V. A. and Comet Companies, for hose &c, about two hundred and fifty ($250), which will exceed the levy by say $50. Query: Is it right for Council to spend the whole of the levy, and more too, to improve these tico Companies, when there are other Companies representing the Fire Department, and the third as needy as the two above named ?

The anti-Chinese agitation in Cali fornia is no^y being avowedly ncgi-i ncered with a view to forcing the Chinese immigration question into the approaching presidential canvass. Since the decision of the United States supreme court declaring the head money tax unconstitutional, it has dawned upon the California dama gogues who would exclude cheap la borers from their state?which more than any other in the union is suffer ing for lack of laborers?that so long as the Burlingame treaty stands I Chinese immigration cannot be ob structed, and their movement is to I fetch a pressure to bear upon congress j for the abrogation of that treaty, and the anti-Chinese mass meetings arc held to bring this about. Their boast is that upon that issue will depend the electoral votes of California, Oregon and Nevada, and that the contest is so close these cannot be ignored. To aid in importing the Chinese ques tion into national politics, the San Francisco Chronicle, independent re publican, republishes, with high laudatory approval, an old speech of | Governor Hendricks, in which he de alares that Chinese immigration should be excluded altogether. This evidently is designed by the Chronicle as notice to the republicans that it is season to put in their bid on the Chinese question for the electoral vote of the Pacific states. The San Francisco Bulletin, also independent republican, and probably the most influential journal on "the const, also significantly remarks of the agitation for abrogation of tho treaty that, "if it is to be attempted, the season of congress preceding a presidential election is the most promising. The democratic house, if a show of unani mity and determination can bcpie sented, will not be disposed to throw away the votes of the Pacific states for wo presume Nevada and Oregon will bo with us in this mat' or. The republicna senate will be likely to bo swayed by precisely the same motive." Among the possibilities of the ap proaching national canvass may thori foro bo reckoned a discussion ot this Chinese problem, which may fan the trades union communistic spirit to a fierce flame. - Ill Ml - State News. The new Methodist Church at Ninety-Six was dedicated on last Sabbath week with imposing cere monies. Bishop Wightmau preached the sermon and was assisted in the exercises by Presiding Elder Brown. The church was built mainly by the efforts of the ladies of the congrega tion, and is a very neat aud sub stantial structure. The church was named St. Paul's. Colonel James IT. Rion has built a neat Kindergarten school building in Winnsboro, thirty-five by twecnty feet in size, fitted with nil the modern appliances, globes, charts, &c, and improved furniture, and admirably ventilated. This he has gt"on, rent free, for the use of the Kindergarten school, of which Miss Kate Obear is principal. ? It is pronounced a model building. About the first week in February a son of Mr. Hogg, of Barn well, was shot in the neck, the ball cutting the jugular vein, and brusing the carotic4 artery about the point where it scpar. ates into the external and internal carotid arteries. This caused an aneurism an large as a hen's egg. Three weeks after the accident, Dr. Todd, a skilful surgeon, tied ihe com moa carotid artery about three or four inches .above the heart. No complications have yet arisen, and the operation appears to have been a perfect success. Reapino for Fa um tilt's Roys.? An intelligent and thrifty farmer ays: "But for the co-opcrdtiSn of my boys I Should have failed. 1 worked hard, and so did they. The eldest is near twenty-one, and other boys in the neighborhood, younger, have left their parents. Mine have stuck to me when I most heeded their services. I attribute this result to the fact thnt I have tried to make home pleasant for Shcir?. I have furnished them with attractive and useful reading; and when the night comes, and the day's labor is ended, instead of running with other boys to the railway station and adjoining towns, they gather around the great lamp and become absorbed in their books, and papers." Such is sub stantially the testimony of a farmer who has known bow hard the struggle i for a footing on free soil without capi tal is, and how valuable and com paratively cheap arc the aids which good reading brings to him. A young girl about as pretty as they grow 'em, went into a Cedar Rapids music store and asked the clerk inquiringly if he had "A Heart that Loves Me Only?" "No," he said, "but there's'A Health to Thee. Mary." That wouldn't do, but be fore she turned to go she asked, "Have you'OivcSwoet; Kiss Before Wc Part ?' The Cedar Rapids clerk .looked up and down the store. The book-keeper was out, the boss was up stairs trying to sell a granger a whee zy old roclodcon, and so he leaned over the counter and turned out about half a dozen of the best and most artistically finished articles that the astonished young lady bad ever seen offered in a job lot. She didn't say much, but she went out of tho store in a step and a half and rubbed her checks thoroughly all the way home. It was a California sage who said, "Be virtuous and you will be happy, but you won't have a good time. i ? - ? ? - A Syracuse saloon-keeper took poison because he saw a public lean ing towards five cent drinks. The safest and best remedies in tho world arc warmth, rest and absti nence?the brutes employ these. A rogue lately advertised that for 81 he would send to any address a handsome package containing 100 presents. Each package turned out to he a paper of pins. After a play a young Frenchman said to his friend, "I could play the lover better, than that, myself." She replied, "Then why in Heaven's name don't you ?"
