Tlietl)eniocratio State Convention will assemble in Columbia on the 1st of June to elect delegates to the "National Convention which.assembles at Cincinnati on the 22nd of the same month to nominate candidates lor President and Vicc-President. Be sides this, the same Convention at Columbia will nominate a Governor und lull .Stale ticket, and the Presi dential Ekclois. Tbc Convention will also instinct the delegates to the Cinncinnnti Convention us lo their duty on the question oi the repeal cf the two thirds rule by which Nation al C ohventions have hitherto been governed. It will therefore be seen that the Work of the Slate Convention in ?Inno will be more iinpottaut and extended than usual. Heretofore two Conventions have performed the same or even less work; the one nominating delegates to the Rational Cuivcution, nnd the other nominating a Stale ticket. But now, in addition to both of these duties,the important question ol the two-thirds rule"is to he decided. This two-thirds rule has been iu operation ever since the cxistenco ol' the Democratic party, all the Presi dential candidates having] been noini ualcd under its workings. It i-- sim ply, as its names infers, the making of the votes of two-thirds of the title gates in the Nution:?.I Convention necessary to the choice ofaPre.-i dcntial candidate. It is now proposed to change this rule, ami iuaku a ma jority of the ' delegates sulKcient lor the noti) inntion. It is argued, on tho one side, that under the two-thirds rule, olten a strong candidate is de feated by the obstinacy of (.he adher ents of weaker men, who are',willing to tire out their enemies and compel a compromise on an iudiHermtcan di dale. On the other-hand, it is argued that under"", the majority rule, frequ ;n ly strong combinations or sections may control a Convention amtyhe minori ty can have no iredress. It is therefore for the people; to consider the matter and decide wise ly. It is tin important amendment to the rules of the party, and should not be entered into without due con sideration. Let our ablest nnd most experienc ed men be scut forward to grapple with these difficult questions. The National.'Outlook. "NVe do not think the National out look is bad, if the Democrats are wise in the selection of n Presidential n mi ? nee, especially if the Ileptib? aus nominate Grant.. We would have a harder time if either Sherman or Elaine were nominated against us. The nomination ?iGrant will lix the issue as n struggle between constitu - ttpnal liberty and centralization, in which the former will have it decided advantage, if sectionalism can be to some extent eliminated from th con tcsI. But this is the rock upon which we euterlaiu the greatest fear that Ihc Democrats may hi; ruined. If they wish to win, their candidate must be clear from every charge of scO'inm*! ism. The .-oath does not want the Presidency and she should do liolh ing to cicttie such nn impression. The issue ir one ol viud importance and should not he trilled with. Ii Grant is e'ected, who can predict what ' will he the end of our govern incut? The usurpations of his s >i tiers in Louisiana and South Carolina will be repealed; and if the buyout! i Uscd to place him in the White llou se it will be used' to keep hi in liiere. The only hope ol averting th sc evils is for the Democrats to nominate a civilian entirely free from any aflijiutions with the ?ottth, who can curry tho votes of the honest and liberty loving citizens from till parties at the North. \Ve are always opposed to-cringing to Northern ecutimeut, but it is iuli uitely preferublo to take up a candi date, who by carrying a.few Northern States can give us true Deratoctatio govcnnnont than by seeking to grati - fy our whims in nominating a favor ite to bring upon us till the horrors of Grant ism. County 1? itlcf. A County Convention of tho Demo cratic party will be called probably somewhere between tho 1st and 15th of May. The duty of this Curtv? ntion will bo tho election of delegates to the Convention to be held iu Colum bia on the 1st of June, aud also to elect a County Executive Committee and County chairman, the tenure of the present Committee and County Chairman expiring ou the assembling of this Convention. At the lime of the formation of tho present Executive Committed and tho election of Cleu Izlar County chair man It difference of opinion existed in the Convention as to who should elect the County chairman, the Con vention or the Executive Committee itself, A minority of the Convention held that inasmuch as the rules of the party directed that "the Executive Committee should elect iu own' officers" and that the County chair, man and the chairman of the Execu tive Committee was one aud the same officer, the duly of his election .devolv ed upotl the Executive Committee. The Con veil tioj however ordered otherwise and the County chairman, Gen. Izlar, was elected by that body. Upon the resignation of Geu. Izlar, the present chairman was also elected by the Convention. It therefore seems to be a settled precedent that the Convention is to elect tho County chairman, and wc presume that the question will hardly be revived. Whatever may be tho strict letter dif the law on the subject, we believe the nearer all these elections conic to the people the more satisfactory it will 'be. Besides this, this Convention will h ive a responsible duty to perform in the selection of delegate* to go t > Columbia, aud to nominate our next Governor and State ticket. We hope therefore the people will deliberate ill time and st!ud forward their bed. and most reliable men. The Qltcsiioii. The question to he decided in the approaching National campaign is not who shall be President; Bayard, Grant,Tilden, or any other candidate, but what shad be the character of the government of the United States. Shall we become a centralized republic without limitation to au thority; or shall we maintain a con stitutional government, guarded by till of the checks fitimed by our fathers for the preset\ation of* our liberties? The latter government is ju t as dear tu the people nf the North us to the people uf the South, but the musses at the North are so imbu'sd by their politicians with the idea that measures of consolidation tire in tended to hold the South in subjection, that they applaud and iiphold them, forgetting that the same tyranny of the despot which marches the soldiery ol the nation into the State House of Louisiana to suppress a loyal Legis lure can inarch into the Court House of Boston and arrest and inipiisbn the Judges of the Supreme Court of that State. Blinded by enmity to the South they destroy the temple of liberty itself. Samson lik-.; (Ley pull down the pillars of the temple, and in t i n: hint: the South they crush them selves and freedom also. Every straw, lor the years that have passed since the War, fro in the u.-c of the bayonet in 'ovtrawing Soul horn Legislatures and the gnat Electoral Fraud, even to the recent West Virginia decisions of (he Su preme Court, bus been crystal iziug the political situation to thisdssiic: Shall we have a ceUralizud, or a con stitutional government? The candi dacy of Grant means this ami noth ing else. 'Hit position taken by Justice Field in opposition to the centralizing de cision of the re."t of tin- Supremo Court gives the constitutional side ol thu question. 'J his, will be the is.-uc of 1880'. It now rests w<th the people which they pre I'dr. Tho ballot box will give the ver dict. It will so? n he sten to what extent sectionalhm blinds reason. A well dressed person is n neat? ne, ? hut a hungry man is an cuter. I The Charge Upon the Gam bier?, On another page, Under tho head of "Crime and its Causes," wo have spoken of the evils of whiskey aud the pistol, and the remedies which should be applied by law and a cor rect public sentiment. In addition to this, we now desire to draw attention to the gambling dens which exist in almost every community, and the wholesome anil effective crusades which are being in augurated against them in many of tho large cities of tue land.. The Mayor of Chicago has seta noble exnraplo in striking at these nests of destruction iu that notable city, and now wc note with delight, that the Mayor of Charleston has also taken the matter in band. On Tuesday, Col. Khett, Chief of Police, by order of Mayor Courtney, broke up the gambling place of Col. C. \V. Montgomery at the American Hotel. Col. Montgomery defiantly claimed protection under tile laws of the State, but Mayor Courtney, in no way to be daunted, pointed out that "the Constitution of the State of South Carolina forbids these swind ling operations, through which means our ignorant population? are daily robbed of their earnings," and or dered Col. Khett "lb seize every wheel and implement and carry the same to the main station house to day." These institutions are having a more wido spread and deleterious in Hitcnce upon the young m*2ti of the land than wc are apt to recognize in consequence of their teeret opera tions. \Vo hope that the steps taken in high places will have the ultimate effect id* removing these evils. To this end the co-operation of tho press thu pulpit, and good psoplo every where is hhrh 'yjessonti ul. A nvwtjKiptrr reporter has just interviewed Ex-Gov. Seymour* of NeW York. It has turned out that the Ex Governor is not at all in bad health but is enjoying n green old age. This is an eifort of politicians to put him out ol the way. Thu old gentlemen gave expression to the loftiest sentiments which were in per fect keeping with his noble character. He very naturally prefers the retire ment of home to the exofUineni and turmoil of a political campaign, bit* it is believed that his sense of duty will deter him from declining tho Presidential nomination if the salva tion of the party demands it. He speaks conlidcntly of the success of the p?rty. -3?aken Up <>n the evening of the 7th hist , a Mule, which the owner can have by describing proving the j-anie, and paying all expense*. Anplv to Z.
