The Rcpuljlicau National Conven tion will assemble in Cincinnati on Wednesday next, the 1 Ith instant. Already the delegates and wire pullers arc gathered at Porkuiwlis, and from the date of the cohveni ion the cam paign will com induce in earnest.

Is there a Democratic editor in the city of Charleston who wrote to .Sena tor Gordon recently in the interest of Congressman Maekey, ami ngainst. C. \V.

That he bns'.becn their salvation in the past, and is the only man in this Congres sional District who can pilot the peo ple to the Mecca of triumph, and ease and prosperity ? Docs the editor live in Charleston who said this of K. W. M. Mackey? . -- mWQ.- 3 m^gmt The Presidency. Blame is in a sea of trouble again. This time it is about writing "gush" to a friend. A third party got pos session of his letters, and determined that his "true inwardness" should not be published to the world, Blaine snatched the correspondence from one Mulligan and has it now in his great cont pocket. If his letters related to railroads, &c, he would not care the worth of a b'g lump of sugar, but as they mostly refer'to woman, sweet woman, be is decidedly of opinion that. Mrs. J)i should hot see them in print. AVhat will be the up shot of his present trouble, it is impossible to tell. Meantime Conkling, Bristow, Morton and Tilden are fill1 of exceed ing linppincss. The latter now pays thirty cents n line to our great daily for printing extracts laudatory of bis name. A Bombastic Doorkeer. As wc have ftiid previously, Fit/. hugh, the Democratic Doorkeeper of the House wrote a confidential letter to a Texas friend .some time ago, and in order to impress him with bis great importance, assured him that he was ''a bigger man than old Grant." His fooliiib letter breathed nil the vanity of u child over his first pair of boots, lie exaggerated his official impor tance; the number of oflicials who jumped at his orders; painted in a ' sort of Aladdin splendor his sur roundings; the team that came and went at his beck, and the bowing and general respect paid to him by Sena tors and Representatives who wished to court bis good will for some neph ew of theirs who aspire to hold the office of page, Sic. Alas, for this self-conceited Bour bon, whose official disguise has pro ven loo short to bide his cars, his confidential epistle goes into print; duet how, no oiii'knows. Probably bo itthtit 16 a friend who couldn't read, and lie called upon another friend who could, and this friend assured tho incipient, of Fitzhugb's favor that if was an advertisement for ihn Bung lown Gazelle, and would kindly sec that il was printed; IJtit it. mailers Little how it got out. It. was inten ded for Texas and poor Fii/.hu"h is forced to confront it on the floor oi the House- The man who boasted that he "was bigger l hau old Grant" suddenly linds himself *o small that a third class knot-hole would admit him without fooling Iiis pren r.>)(-,'? rj ho moral <?:' is plain. writing letters. No matter how big or small Fitzhugh may he in his own estimation it is quite evident from his letter that he is a fair representative of Fitzhugh?the Democratic door keeper of tho present House of Itcp rcsenlatives. Wows for Teachers. The appropriation for free schools for the fiscal year commencing No vember 1, 1872, is $200,000. The .State Treasurer announced his readi ness lo pay two-thirds of this amount April i?amounting to-$100,00(5.07. lie is now ready to pay $118.1133.33; making a total payment of $200,001) ? ihc amount of taxes received up to date en account of free school*-,* 'I here will thus he a deficiency of $50,000 ? one-tiith of tho entire amount?that will have to ho left un til next winter to he provided for as a deficiency. This is not good news. ? L'nion -herald. This is not the only "deficiency" that will have lo "ho left until next winter to be provided for." Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars wil' have to ho wrung from the im povished tax-payers to pay the "dc licienoies,1' which our present blessed Reform Government will leave sad dled upon the State. And hero the question arises, How, and where is the money to he raised that the peo ple will be necessarily compelled to pay in laxes next year? Will it be in the counfry? We make hold to answer in the negative. What then must be the result? Tax executions by the wholesale, and a virtual con fiscation lo the St ale of hundreds of the farms in .South Carolina. Citi zens! arc you going to. submit toil? Tax-payers ! will you allow your prop erty lo he thus taken from you for the purpose of paying the deficiencies cre ated by a Gomorrah-cursed Govern ment? And yet the Charleston AW* ami Courier wants tho people of this sorely oppressed commouwcnlth to honor tho men who have thus led them into bankruptcy and ruin, and give them another lease ot power. God grant that the yawning, biting, licll smokiug diiTunatiou which the Wood Cunningham -Mackcy organ would fa? ten upon prostrate .South Carolina, may be averted by tho determined and patriotic notion of the people in October!

There were six millions of these* bonds issued by Scott, & Co., which were repudiated by the Muse? Legislature as fraudulent. These were declared noh-fuhdablc in the - funding act, passed during Moses' administration, and now being carried out by Chamberlain, Curdo/.a 'j& Co. Up to the time of the nominating Convention of the Republican party in 187-1, Chamberlain, having acted as attorney for the holders of the bonds, his condidn y was considered n step in the great law-suit to"recover payment for them nggainst the State. At that Convention, however, be was compelled before nominated, to sign an agreement not to validate '.hem. This agreement ol course ends with bus present term, ami the same rea sons which induced the belief of his former intention to collect this fraudu lent debt, operate how. Iiis friends in the Democratic party comprise those who suffered in the repudiation of these bonds by the Legislature, and, it is asserted up<m many good authorities, others who have sine then gone into a speculation to make them good. It is said that these Conversion Bonds have been boughj up by the latter party a!, from i> to ? cents. There are none of them now for sale on Wiill street, and have not been for some time, though I have made enquiry for them. "One can scar My realize' a more profitable speculation than these purchases would be, rrovided they were put through the building process of electing either a Bcpuhlicnh by a Democratic administration favorable to them. Jt, is a big thing, and is in the hands of shrewd manipulators, who as yet have managed to control any effort to warn the people of their approaching danger." We do not believe the above- but declare it to be our solemn con viction that who ever in the future attempts to re-invalidate the tlligal Conversion Bonds, issued during the larccneous and black -smiled days of Scott's administration, will be driven by an outrage I people from the confines of South Carolina; Why, even the graceless F. J. Moses, Jr., while he was Governor, declared that, the Conversion Bun Is were too much for the Stale to carry, and advocated with all bis might their complete and instant repudiation Although covered all over with sin; recking, slincking, rotting in u'eerous, mag goty corruption, I"'. -1. M uses, Jr., knew that the people of South Caroli na would make a hard bed for the man who dared to fasten upon them this unholy six millions of dollars' debt, and that it was his houhtfen duty to discountenance every effort made to legalize so preposterous an outrage ami swindle. 1: Moses did this much for an oppressed people, is there less to be expected from our latter day so-called saints? It is not our desire to misjudge men or their motives, hut*if the runiois wo hear are to be credited, there is a deep laid scheme*', o make a jobbing house of the next Legislature. What the precise jobs are or will be that lobbyists will attempt to rush through that body, we are not apprised of; but. it is certainly known to every man who is at all fnrmiliar with a flairs in Columbia that for the last five years certain parties could be frequently i found about the Slate He use "feeling the pulse" id' the members of the Legislature towards the Blue Ridge j Scrip and Conversion Bonds. These same parlies arc alive yd, and arc not a whit too good, if they see the | oppotunity, to Kpend two millions of the Conversion Bonds and Blue Bulge Scrip in bribes upon the Legislature to have them legalized ami knocked into new life again. Let the people beware lest they find themselves fortifying the enemies of the tax payers, nnd contributors to the power and influence of those who are only wailing for a chance to pounce upon them as remorselessly as the hawk iipon the chicken. -. ^ i ???? - ? ????
