FOR PRESIDENT: HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YORK. FOR VIOE-PRESIDENT: B. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOURI. ?? ??.. ?.? We want a. govern ment ivithout corruption; a Congress without price; and a Judiciary without politics. " B. GRA TZ BROWM. Republican Brogress and Reform/ From the published proceedings of the recent Republican Convention in Co lumbia, we must certainly pronounco it the most impious, and unblushing]y cor rupt body ever assembled in South Caro lina. Humanity revolts at the spectacle, and oven Republicanism, which wc thought had reached its ultimatum of degrada tion in this Stntc, has sunk still lower. In 1870, tho acknowledged ability and bold opposition of Judge Carpenter kept the trembling demons in awe and ?ilcnee, and banded them together in secrecy, for the consummation of their fiendish plots ; hut in 1872 the assurance of the successful alienation of the black from the white race, through the agency of Republican falsehood, has rendered them bold in the exposure of each other's vil lainy, to. promote their selfish ends. Delegates make the most criminal charges against each other, which are in most cases only met by counter charges. F. J. Moses, the nominee of the Con Tcntiou for Governor, has been charged BY HIS FELLOW RkI'UDLICAXS with the most heinous crimes, and we see no refu tation of them. The public records show that he has receivedjSl 1,000 of the Armed Force fund, und yet Orr says "not an armed man was employed in the State." lie is also represented to have paid 400 employees in the House of Repre sentatives, where only 11 were employed in ante bellum days. Resides this, Mr. Mayer, a Republican delegate from Burn well, testified in open Convention that Moses offered him $2,000 If he would make his delegation vote for him. Mr. Martin also substantiated the statement. Nor is this halt of the party corruption which was brought to the surface by the quarrels among its own members.? Rut our hearts sicken at the further recital of the Republican exposures of each other's villainy, professedly from pa triotic, but really from selfish motives. Judge Orr snya that there are only # 2,000 corrupt Republicans, and 88,000 honest ones, but to us it would seem nearer the truth, if he would exactly re verse Iiis statement. If ho is correct, then it is wonderful what an Affinity there is between these 2,000, and the sur face, for they arc always on the top. A .^Iffl good tree does not bring forth corrupt fruit, nnd if the Republican trcc_ in South Carolina was good, we cannot im agine how it could bring forth such fruit as it has in this last Convention. We always judge of a tree by its fruit, ami if we so judge in this case, we m ast come to the conclusion that tho whole tree, trunk and all is rotten. The developments of this Convention have proved, beyond a doubt, that the oft repeated Republican cry, that re form must como from within its own ranks, is brazen-faceu hypocrisy and de ception. We cannot say what bitter pills wo may yet be called upon to swallow, upon the dubious policy of "a choice between evils," hut our opinion of the Bolter/ Convention is not very exalted. It is mostly composed of men who are now forced to admit that the II form party was right in 1S70, and yet they worked against it. 11m members of this Convention show very plainly that they want the ?0,000 Democratic votes to elect their candidates, and yet they treat this party with the utmost indifference. Republicans have yet to learn that a minority of 00,000, composed as this is in South Carolina, is not to be cajoled or bullied into anything which docs not give some guarantee of honesty, decency and justice. * The ticket nominated by the Regular Republican Convention, whether elected or not, is the dcnth-kncll to all preten sions of decent Republicanism in South Carolina, and so far as the Grant Ad ministration is concerned, has placed "the last feather on the camels back." It is too weak to carry the load. 11/ e Li/jfj'(/1 Rep aid ica n Convention. It will be seen that the Liberal Re publicans met in Conference in Colum bia on Saturday, August 24th, and ap pointed the following well and favorably known Republicans, as a Committee to confer with the State Democratic Com mittee: Judge R. B. Carpenter, Judge \V. M. Thomas and Dr. E. W. "Wheeler. If any genuine reform is cvor to be obtained in South Carolina, it is from hence that we must look for it to origi nate. We have no confidence whatever in the profession of those Republicans, who say they want reform, nnd yet refuse to stand upon the Liberal Republican plat form. We believe that the majority of them at least are deterred by nothing but that 30,000 colored majority, and lan guage cannot express our detestation of the character who would abandon his convictions merely for the sake of success. We do not know what action the Lib eral part/ in this State will take, but for tiu: present, wo vrould advise continued inactivity. If it should finally act, wo truet that its action may be guided by window, ami that it may put forward men who arc not objectionable to the Democracy. Wo see no hope in chojsing between such desperate ovils as are presented by the Republicans of South Carolina. We want men in oflice, who will treat all men alike, no matter what may he their color or party. KEl'UHLICAX STATE CONVENTION. FinsT d.w.- Aug. 21. The Convent ion met at noon in the Senate Chami?er.
