The nominees, as thoy now stand for tho Constitutional Convention, for the various counties, will, In all probabil ity, constitute tho body. It thoroforo 1b not altogether lie practicable to mak-of ?s tho intelligent body of medi cine men express it, a diagnosis of tho outlook. First, it transpires just now from Tillman's forecast, that tho Mis sissippi plan of regulating tho sutlrago has already boon udoptcd to bund, and oxcopt in matters of detail and adap tation to local coudltlons, tho ground work is laid. But let us look baek a little. The last Constitutional Conven tion 3lttlug in South Carolina, com posed of tho oducated white pooplo, sat In tho Baptist Church iu Columbia iu 1805, called by Provisional Govornor Porry, during tho administration of Andrew Johnson, and intended to meet tho extraordinary conditions resulting upon tho conclusion of tho war. it was a very ablo body of representative Carolinians. Tho trouble now lies In tho fact that it would uppoar that wo aro not to soo their liko again. Judgo Wardlaw, of Abbcvlllo, proslded .ovor tho body. The suggestion of a few names recalled from memory and with out tho record will givo some idea of the "giants in those days :" James L. Orr, David Lowl8 Wardlaw, ox-Govornor Frauds Plokons, (tho war governor,) Dawkins, of Union, Burt, of Abbeville, rlso up to confront tho memory, shad ows now, but mighty spirits. It Is true that Orr, liko Saul, towered hoad and shoulders abovo all tho rost, but thoro were mighty men at his elbow, com posing tho body of tho Convention.? Howovor, It was Orr's Constitution when made, on all except the minor details. I\ion. of Fair-field, then coming up to fTtlknianhood. was Iiis first lieu tenant. yVfl^^iavc said, the body of tho OT^Jfc^on cgnta/inod :?.uch ability and great oxporlencu, while as a band of Stato patriots unexampled, as provon on tho tented field. Whllo comparisons aro odious, odo rous or inodorous, it is lamentable that tho compositum of tho coming Convention as now dovelopod In quality of ability, oxperionee or patriotism, Is infinitely below that of the mon wo have namod and described. A recur rence to tho porsoncl of preceding conventions In tho Stato would moro glaringly minlmlso tho llguros that aro to represent tho sovereignty of South Carolina In tho convention to assomblo at Columbia, in tho Hall of the House of Roprosontatives, In tho ponding September. "'Tis true, and pity 't'.s 'tis true." Take, for Instance, tho tlmo of '112 and exorcise tho groat forms of Chovos, Calhoun, McDuHic, Harper and Proston, and then look on - this plcturo : Tillman. Talbert, Evans, Latimor, Wilson. You must conclude what a mlsorablo failure was Swift In his dollnoation of the giants of his great island as Llleputlans, notwith standing every incentive of disap pointed ambition, stimulating tho prlncollost ability to paint tho picture approximately to the life. When tho body assomblos in Columbia it will stand unexamplod as a parliament of trained mediocrity In tho annals of logislatlon. As we have hinted, it goes Into oxlsteneo with the right kind of a rabbit foot, the loading spirit having adopted tho Mississippi solution of tho most vexed problem', leaving but minor quostions for tho Independent settle ment of those woighty solons. A large number of theso men have been to tho "forefront" of tho battle In political lifo In South Carolina, and the meas ure of tho longth of thoir intellectual _, lasts has bsen taken with accuracy In tho Stato. Third-rate ability and lirst rato sharpness may be act opted as an accurate description of thoso who may bo anticipated as the leading and prom inent actors as formulators of provis ions and debaters on tho lloor. Strange ly, liest and in a group, the two Tlll mans, Sheppardand Talbert, Edgolleld: Barker, Mitchell, Nathan, Bryan and Farrow, Charleston: Sloan, of Rich land; Hondorson, of Alken ; Tho Wil sons, of Spartanburg and York. These mon aro very sure to bo to the front, with tho skirmish line, and at tho shock when tho heavy columns aro thrown forward. Tho hosts will bo be hind thorn. There aro somo clover mon of a younger gonoration, who aro Hkoly to bo heard from, and from out of tho abundanco of our unfaralllarlty among political aspirants In tho State wo namo tho following: McGowan, of Abbovlllo ; Gllland, of Williamsburg : Patton, of Columbia : Hay nes worth, of Grconvillo, Prlnco, of Anderson. Of W C. MoGowan, Farrow, Gllland, Put ton and Hnyncsworth, there ought to como a report of a high and proud rec ord. The word "patriotism" is used in this article. As theso lines may como to tho oyo of ono or moro of tho person ages named, weempha-izo that wo Im pugn no man's lore of Stato and eharl talnV^ay that wo hol lovo ouch man inuio catalog no has faith in his Celti cism. But wo tnko tho liberty of gin gerly mentioning this hint. Many of th Conservatives havo long dwolt in th suburbs of tho populur good pleasure, they havo boon long In the cold, cold outsido : thoy havo not ovon had th crumbs from tho great man's table , ^hey havo munched on "funeral baked beats;" thoy aro strangers to th classic cry from tho groat and all ?werfuI "8ovorolgn8," "toll It again.' ay arc Bharply suspected of a flavor [ho "mugwump," one looking to th magistracy of tho State, ono to lppcr house at Washington and an to congressional honors, "tho up jo of listening senates to corn* Id," not to hint, by a wldo mark, suggestion of miserable "ducats." le Shylook, merchant of Vonico )? though from Go v. Evans pranks iu appointment of Commissioner:, of election for Charleston, a trick gleaned, should the Charleston men go, thoy go unhandicappod and from thenl the whole Stato of all factions and degrees may hopefully expect patriotic service. There Is no place for com promise or coquetting with principle In formulating organic law. Wo would bo better content If we could eloso this article with assuring our readors that W. H. Wallace, of Union, Joshua II Hudson, of Bennetts vlllo, and McCrudy, of Charleston had scats In that Convention. *** Thoy talk about a court or system of Courts to bo arranged by the consti tution that will give but short shift to anticipate the lynching boos This is all fal-do-ral fool talk?nonsense.? There is nothing wrong in tho law nothing --It cannot bo bottored.

Thoy arc a lot of fool judges who aro not handy with their mother tongue and waut till tho crack of doom to polish their awkward periods. All tho Stato olllelals.

The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Road what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for Harris Lithia Water. "I had Ion"; been a fleeted with kidne) troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even appro imatcly as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Litttfa Waje? when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When 1 went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about as'good as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think every person who has tried it will agree with me in the belief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffering hu manity, I would like very much to sco it given a trial. C. A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C. Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. Ashkville, N. C, September;, r>, 18O3. Mr. J. T. Harris: We have been selling the Harris Litbi.i Water for some time, and find it a ready seller; those who have tried it are 1. id in its praise. The doctors here regard it superior to cither the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. We predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become more generally known. Yours very truly, RAYSOR & SMITH, Prescription Druggist, Prosperity, S. C. Fob. 28, 18?4. Mr. J. T. Harris: I have been under the treatment of several physicians, and been to different watering places during the last ten years for kidney disease. It affords me pleasure to say that I have received more benefit from the use of Han is Lithia Water than all remedies combined. Respectfully, ?. D.
