Tho republican party of the slate of South Carolina, in convention assembled, believing tluit the princi ples of equal civil and political rights ' arc vital to the interests of good government, and that they can only , be enforced by the party which has engrailed them upon tho state and ; national constitutions, hereby reaf firms its confidence in the national republican party by pledging firm adherence to the platform adopted by the Cincinnati convention in this the one hundredth year of American in dependence. 2. Wc hereby jdedgc our undivi ded support to the standard bearers of that parly,.Rutherford 15. Hayes and William A. Wheeler, whose un blemished and statesmanlike record in the past is sufficient assurance that all reform lying within 'the province of their respective offices will be earnestly prosecuted and the nation al government wisely and cconomi cally adminislsrcd, with due regard to the rights and interests of the whole American people. Wc heartil) endorse the adminis I tration of President Grant, so honest ly and economically conducted as to exalt the nation in the estimation of tho world and advance its faith and credit. Wc recognize in the soldier states man and president a linn, devo ted lover of American liberty, a stern unflinching champion and protector of the rights of American citizens at [ home and abroad, and we will ever i hold in grateful remembrance his eh < ds in war, iu peace, in nil th t mai.es our country great--though the youngest of the nation?, yet the cipufl of'?ll. ? * r | ?I. '1 hat in pn.coiiting t?> the yen- | pie of South Carolina our nominees lor the' li;gh officio of the state for tlie eonii-'g two years; we believe we frbi old make plain ami unmistakable j 11 c i.ims ami principles to which we I <l pledged, in ilie'event of their eleeth-h; hot in glittering ^moralities t-l reform, but in specific and substan tial articles. ;">. We declare our abhorrence and repudiation of nil forms of violence, intimidation or fraud in tho conduct of elections, or for political purposes, and denounce the same as a crime against the lihcity of American citi / ms as well as the common rights of humanity; ami, while we insist upon and will jealously guard the right of every citizen freely to choose his political party, and deny the unfoun ded charge that the republican party countenances any intcrfcreacc with colored voters who may choose to vote the democratic ticket; we protest against and denounce the practice now inaugurated by the democratic party in this state of attending republican meetings and by show of force and other lerms of intimidation of dis turbing such meetings or taking part therein without the consent or invita tion of the party calling them. G. We pledge ourselves to thorough reform in all departments of the state government; where abuses shall be found to exist, and, as an earnest of the same, declare our purpose of sub mitting to the qualified voters of the State the following specific reforms as. amendments to the State constitution. 1. That the present adjustment of the bonded debt of the State shall be inviolable.' 2. That the general assembly shall meet only once in every two years, and that tho length of no session thereof shall exceed seventy days. 3. That the number of sessions of courts of general sessions and common pleas shall he reduced to two annu ally in each county, with power re served to the judges to call special sessions when necessary. 4. That the veto power of the governor shall bo so modified as to allow of tho disapproval of a part without effect upon the rest of an act. 5. That agricultural interests shall be relieved from burdensome taxa tion by more cqutiablc distribution of tnxes and by the inauguration of a .system of licenses fixed upon fair prin ciples. G. That no public funds shall ever be used for .the support of sectarian institutions. 7. That the enormous evil of local and special legislation shall be prohi bited whenever private interests can be protected under general laws. 8. And inasmuch as the system of free schools was created in tho .State by the Republican party, and should be especially lostcrcd and protected by ;it, wc pledge ourbolves to the sup port of the. amendment to the Slate constitution, now before the people, establishing a permanent tax for the support of free schools, and prevent ing the removal of school funds from the counties where praised. 7. Wc pledge ourselves and the nominees of the Republican party of this Stale to the securing of the fol lowing purposes by legislative enact ment. 1. The further and lowest reduction of salaries of all puhficservauts con- j sis tent with the necessities of govern- i 111211t. 2. The reduction of fees and costs, especially of attorneys in civil cases, and the amendment of the laws gov erning the settlement of estates in such manner as to secure a more economical administration and settle ment of small estates. o. The immediate repeal of the agiiculturnl lien law. 4. Public printing to be reduced at least one-third of the present appro priation. - 5. Convict labor to bo utilized un der such laws as shall secure bumano treatment, and t!>o support of con victs without needless expense to the Slate, ., , . ._St I). The annual appropriations for ! public institution^ to be economically made ami properly expended. 7. The number of trial justices to be reduced throughout the State, and oaeh justice to b;? assigned to specific territoiy, with moderate salaries to 'cover costs of criminal business, ad justed in prop rti>>n to population. S. Recognizing the enorm ms ex pen.-e of fencing farms, anil the senreity of timber in some sections of the Mate, we feel it to be noecssary that practical relief he afforded to the people of the State, and we pledge ourselves to secure such legislation upon the subjects as will give to the electors of each comity the right to regulate this question for thcmsclvcs U. That whereas in some of the upper counties of the State certain evil disposed persons have induced many citizens to diregard and violate the revenue laws of the United States, by representing them to be oppressive, and in violation of the rights of the citizen j and it is apparent from the action of the national democratic house of representatives that the revenue tax will he continued, we therefore earnestly recommend that his Excellency, the Prcridcnt of the United States, do grant a general am nesty and pardon for all violations previous lo this time. And the sena tors are hereby instructed, and the representatives in Congress nie re quested, to urge this action without delay. 10. Wc charge the democratic pnrl3' with perversion of all truth and history; with opposition to all the interests of the masses; with fostering class preferences and discriminations; with a denial of rights to those who do not accept their political dogmas; with constant and persistent antagon ism to the principles of justice and humanity; with a resistance to the manifest will of the people and spirit of the age; with a determination to make slavery national and liberty sectional; with a purpose to rend tho union in twain to perpetuate human bondage; with plunging the nation into a fratricidal war; with deluging the land in blood and filling it with sorrow atid distress; with burdening tho people with a debt that makes a higher taxation necessary and con tinuous; with opposition to the recon struction of the States thoy had vio li tly forced into confederacy; with ^resistance to the passage antl ratifica tion of the amendments to the consti tution of the United States made ^accessary by the results of tlic war, .which clothed the humblest in the Bation with citizenship .and' placed in dlis hands the. power of protecting it; With a purpose to reopen sectional prejudices and animosities, to make jrthc war a failure," reconstruction "void" and the amendments to the Constitution nullities; with deception, Misrepresentation, extravagance in ?*?Uc" conduct of government! dishoii g?ty in thedisbu rscmcutof the public djnds and an abuse of tlic public con fidence with fraud in the management >f elections; with intimidations of electors; with atrocities during politi qiil campaigns unheard of in civilized cTomniunilics; with assa.'sinations and murders of tho.se whose only 'dl'onding was a steadfast adherence to the principles of the republican party; with thron tenings of violence and ilcAth against those who advocate tec perpetuity of the republican party; .wjith armed preparation and hostile intent in the States of the South, intending by .such a formidable array frighten or force Republicans into n support of their party ami partisans, or to remain away from the polls; with dissembling to the North by assurances of an acceptance of the re sults of the war, a desire for recon ciliation and brotherly relations, when they are only thirsting for the opportunity to secure what they have lo3t to the ascendency of the mi tin mil democratic party to power und thus inllict upon the nation further evils aud etnbarnssincn.s; with nominating national aud Stale officers known for their antagonism to all the liepubli c^yjarty has accomplished. ,^^t?ijK?i^r?tit\K~<?i?r Kolhiuco in the 1 'justice of our cause and the truth of the ^principles underlying our nation al platform, and of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amen Intents of tin: constitution of the United States, pointing with gratification to the many important reforms establish ed by the Republican party of onr State during the last, few years, we invoke the guidance ittid blessing of divine Providence upon our standard bearers and upon the whole people of South Carolina. And we the mem bers of the Republican party, in con vention assembled, do hereby earnest ly pledge ourselves to an un coin pro in sing support of its nominees, with the firm hope and the solemn dctcrmiiia tioii to guard our rights, protect our friends and elect cur candidates.

About sixty miles cost of Albany, on the Boston road, is situated the town of Washington, Mass. High up - among, the Berkshire hills, it has* little to boast of, cither in soil or population. It is one of those char acteristic New England towns- in which the inhabitants love to repeat the saying, when asked, " What can you raise here?" "We build school houses and raise men." Ex-Goveruor E. D. Morgan was one of the products [ of this town. Not far from his birth 1 place resides, to-day a family by the name of Tettro. The husband, Isaac, was born in Canada, in 1319, but has been a resident of this country for over twenty years. When abou t thirty-two years of age he was mar ried to Lidia Doras, a widow with three children, making twenty-live iu all which she has brought into the world. She was fifty-six years old when her last child was born. Of this numerous progeny there was only one pair of twin?; two only died in infancy; seven died after their growth, and sixteen arc living. Ten were boys and fifteen girls. The second crop, or grand children, at present, numbers thirty-t'ircc. The mother of this great family was one of sixteen children, by the name ofSheppard. She was married when she was sixteen, ami widowed five years after, in which state she re mained three years. Her married life, comprises thirty-seven years.? Albani/ K.rpreM. "Fetch 13er Out." In California twenty ycirs ago, men would flock in crowds to catch a glimpse ofthat rare and blessed spec "t'*?5?J?? ;\ mifiman ! _pld_liuhnbitn-u*3 toll how, in a certain camp, the news went abroad early in the morning that a woman was come! They had seen a calico dress hanging out a wagon down at the camping ground ?sign of emigrants from (.vor the great plain.-. Kverybo ly w> nt down there, and a shout went up when an actual, liona fide dress was discovered fluttering in tho wind. The male emigrant was visible. The miners said: "Fetch her out!" lie said : "It is my wife, gentlemen; she is sick ; we have been robbed of money, pro visions, and everything by the Indian? ans ?wc want to rest." Fetch her' out! that was tho only reply, lie '?fetched her out" and they swung their hats and set up three n using cheers and a tiger; and they crowded aroucd, and gu/.cd at her, and touch* od her dress, and listened to her v< ice, with the took of men wdio listened to a memory rntherat pre sent reality; and then they collected 82,000 in gold and gave it to the. man, find swung their hats again and gave three more cheers, and went home satisfied. A lady, in describing to an irrever ent bey an old occurrence in which his father figured, closed by remark ing: "lain sorry to say that tho thing ended by your father losing his tem per." "Did father lose his temper ?" exclaimed the young scapegrace; "then I hope he'll never find it again, for it was the worst tamper 1 ever heard of." A gentleman of very laudable ambition, who boards at the same house which a lady whom he admires very much, abides also, is quite ab sent minded when with her. lie sits by her at their meals and while con versing with her, she so charmed him that he sopped his potation in her plate without being conu.'ious of it. "Oats wanted, enquire within," was inscribed on a placard hung to the ribs of a scrawny nag, that some wag had thrown adrift in the streets of Rochester the other day. "Does our constant chatter disturb you ?" asked one of the three talkative ladies of a sober-looking fellow pass enger. "Xo, ma'am; I've been mar ried nigh on to thirty years," was tho reply.
