A Timely Warning. It will be remembered that the Republican State Convention of Pennsylvania elected a delegation and instructed them to vote as a unit for Gen. Grunt as nominee for Presi dent in the National Convention. This action was determined not by a large and influential majority as usu al, but by a bare plurality of twenty voted, leaving a large minority of anti-third term men opposed to the delegation. So reckless was the course pursued by the Grant men and so evident their design to achieve victory at any cost to the old estab lished principles of the party, that the more conservative element have issued an addtcss of warning to the party, condemning the extreme views of the lendets and telling them that a day of reckoning will come sooner or later. In the Republican party, par ticularly at the North, there are many consistent men who look upon their party as the correct exponent of the political sentiment of the wealth and intelligence of their section. These men will not long brook the impudent dictations of political partizans, nor lie led blindly to support any man, -c?'en Gen. Grant, whom they mis trust, or any measures which they do not approve. Such men cannot be relied on to vote for any man who de-( liberately consents to violate a tiadi tion as ancient as the Constitution it-, self, or one like Gen. Grant, whose jmst administrations prove him to be skilled only in directing public pat ronage to selfish ends and whose only ..claims to statesmanship is a judicious1 ,use of tl*i functions of his office for ?the benefit of himself and relations. .Such men, whether Republicans or Dcmrcrats, will hot hesitate to sever their parly allegiance when principle is to be sacrificed to policv. The Republican parly is not a Na tional party, nor hail il ever the right to claim that dignity* even from the Aicg nning. No party can be national which has one policy for one section and another policy for another sec tion of the country. Before and dur ing the war it w*? essentially section ed because it fought against the insti i ulitus of the St ulii. T^ince the war it. has been sectional because it .sought to enact laws for the South which il diil not design should ob tain at the North ; and it is sectional now because < f ts tu.constitutional {noddling with the local governments of tic South. Contests Ue ittvccn n'uiiotial parties cannot be daiv gerotis lo the liberties of the citizen iOr the institutions of the country. Between thcta uhe issues iniml .be .made +upon general phiac^plloo and in ?vAm? interest aC live aoelions alike. (Cwn^tilulioual checks, always to be found in every well organized gov ernment, will prevent all disastrous ?effects, and the individual voter, in .casting his ballot., docs so from prin ciple mnd KOt poM?y. Qflleials are ojoL (partisans but statesmen., e$:er.cts~ itig Ute/uoetioMS <of ibotr qUices -in the interest**^ jjustnuc ?rdy. When, however., one suction of a country ,is at rayed ugutaet :au?lhcr and party .spirit ifuns high us.in the Republican ,parl\y ;ac-ulni?t the. South, ?ach politi cal icauipaign renews tfie bitterness of the previous?oontesta., utK.il AiatCCd .becoming intensified;<open hostilities ibetween the sections uestrii aa a natu ral consequences. i*To wonder then that the good ituen r-uiong-the Repub dicans.at the .Kurth refuse to be led blimHy ?by part'tKan leaders, and is sue an addtcss .of warning; to their fellow citizens., s&y wig.: "It needs no jprophel to foretell the fntjttit m ,tbe near future i\b anarojhy -aiKho?v? war."" 1 he Beavers atWoffc. tin private 'Radical conferences, plans of organization are being freely discussed .and no inconsiderable {amount of anxiety is manifested by a\he bosses aa to the proper methods (to lie employed and in.iluQJveca.toibc .?iidught to bear np<>n tho .colored j people.. Old tools, made dull by a few years of a doubtful Democratic service, are being gathered from dif ferent sections of the county nnd groQud over preparatory %-to nest fall's campaign. Dcmbciatic sorc beids are drugged and doctored free ly with a view of making them effec tive belps in splitting the "solid ?v hi to, vote" iu the next election ; aha* ?i.llucntial colored Democrats ure i plied on every occasion with all Maoris I of inducements to abandon tlieir new land return to their old allegiance. !Of equal concern to the Courthouse j bosses is the bent plan of rekindling ? the Radical fires upon the broken down colored niters and of infusing the old slavish zeal into the masses ol the colored' people. They aie now told thnt if a Republican President be elected, the Dcmociatic govern ments of the South will be destroyed by new reconstruction acts which will restore their party to power upon a more enduring basis than ever be fore. They are not promised forty acres and a mule but ofllces by the scores; (hey'are not threatened with slavery, but pointed to the exoduses which will disintegrate their parly and destroy their race influence by scattering them to the four winds ol heaven. Indeed the bosses are using beeret but earnest efforts to make a rehash of obi'Radical influences) which if successful will give them raltcr son's five more years of good stealing in South Carolina. They find, bow ever, that four years of honest gov ernment make the matter an up-hill business and the increase of intelli gence among the colored people un der Democratic rule renders success extremely and uncomfortably doubt ful. Ignorance was a harp of a thou sand strings upon which they could (day with case, but intelligence is a different thing altogether. m s ? c? ? i ?? Ganeral Assembly. Both Houses convened in extra session at 12 M. Tuesday with very few members absent from their seal?. Besides the spec ial matter of correct ing the errors in the supply bill of the last regular session several new bills of more or less importance to the Stale will be pressed upon the Legis lature for consideration. Araonj*. these is a scheme to get {State aid for completing the Rl'Jo 'Ridge Railroad. The amount to be asked for is half a 'million do'lars, not to be paid, how ever, until the road'isto'mptG'ted to Knoxvillc. We fully recognize the importance of this work, but dj rot think the State yet prepared to enter upon an enterprise of such magnitude. A hill to provide fur the registration of voters will be presented, but it is thought at present that the probabili ties arc in favor of its defeat. We ?consider this bill second in importance only to the supply and appropriation bills ; and if there be time to spare it should certuinly receive the careful consideration of the members. The opposition to its passage is mainly from the up-country, hut the bill is not sectional und ought not to be so considered. There is a pressing need for it in the low-country to protect the ballot from fraud, to insure a fair election, and to throw around the ballot-box every coiisUuuJosal safe guard. There is a disposition on the part of a number of lhe mcmbets to confine the work to the special matter of the supply bill und to adjourn as soon a& that is completed. Others are in fa vor of taking Aip any business left over from last session. It is perfect ly competent for the legislature to sit from now until .next November* but the in Una-its of the Slate demand r fhort session, and next M'mday or Tuesday should close the work. It is thought that 4 3-4 tnilJs will be the Stute tax. ? ? urn -? The Farmers' Aid Association. A meeting .of this Association was held on last Saturday when quite a number of names wor.c added to the list of mctvyhcts. Since the change in its organization from the l'atron to inPartner*' Aid Association, there has been & rapid increase of members and a .taa^t gratTying inter est manifested ;iu als eveeess. It seems to be not only an ?insuumcc against the misfortunes consequent upon death but mi insurance against death itself. Si nee its .conception., several years ago, there has not been a death among Ms entire membership, and in consequence .of tikis good for tune, ouite a hendsome sum of mone}' has accumulated inrfiUe treasury, and now awaits ^vestment. The Assoei-' ation id rapid!vy establishing itself in the confidence .of the (pu(>,ic and .is destined ut no .distant day to,he one of t(:e permanent charitable institu tions of our county. In view of the certain distress which must eovue upon our families .after death if Jiot provided for, this and similar associa tions become Important iust^utictus I in the eyes of ,hc public. j. m-1 South Carolina ffc?ft&ad. At no period in the history of this road has i.t ever l)ee? moje complete ly devoted to the interest of (Charles Ion thnn riow; By ah* excellent sys tem of excursion;) and a wise but lib eral management on the part of of ficials, hundreds aud thousands of our citizens have visited the oily and j of course poured into her l?n thons j nndo of dollars that would have taken other channels and bqnelitted other localities. Mr. Fisher, the .Receiver, is a Northern man but of that class who come to the South with liberal views and honest motives. Selfish ness is not the leading clement of his nature, aud he is therefore abje to understand the wants of,our people und adapt himself to our ,ci reu in stances. It is this happy facility in its director that makes tbo South Carolina Railroad so important an agency to the buildii.\g up of tbo in terests of Charleston. It is hoped that some arrangement vAW be per fected which will take the road out of the courts and place it on the highway to success and prosperity with Mr. Fisher as its Preside/it. No road has enjoyed better opportu nities than this, aud instead of being a bankrupt affair it ought to be worth millions of money?one of the wealthiest corp'orations in the coun ty. With proper connections with the West and a thorough business man at its head, there is no reason why it may not occupy this positiou yet, giving to Charleston a commerce that will make her the leading Atlan tic port of the South. Energy and a business training aro the needed ele ments, and these Mr. Fisher possess-1 1 es in an eminent degree. The Grange. At the late meeting of the State Grange in Charleston, a committee ol prominent practical farmers was ap pointed to correspond with all the leading manufactories of fertilizers outside the state for fiie purpose of obtaining their prices and the condi tions of sale of manures. This ac tion of the State Grange is doubtless intended to bring into competition other fertilizers wjJLb, those made in this state with the hope of reducing p-ijees an.d at the same time securing a be'ter class of fertilizers. We fear, boweve^that it is too late for the farmeis. Afost of them have already made arrangements for the present y^ar, yet Jliose who btfcyo .not, and are in no haste a.hout the matter, may <*nd it to their advantage to await tho action of this committee which will be communicated to the subordinate Granges at, as early a day as possible. An immense amount of money is sjjjpnt every year for fer tilizers and iW\y euptj an arrange ment even a small per cent, could be saved, it would amount to a conside rable sum in the aggregate, and that far become an item of prosperity. ?? i? i m ? The Governor's Message. This paper is short, to the point and characteristic of Gov. Simpson, lie confines himself to an explana tion of tlie necessity of an extra ses sion and producing ? fpw reasons why a law providing for a registration of mteis should be enacted, Head miits that "in some points of vicjy this subject rises. ?ycu higher in im portance Uiau the supply bill itself,'' and if the express provision of the Constitution is not to be ignored alto gcthcr, no more favorable opportuni ty can ever present itself for comply ing with its terms than the present session. He does not recommend that the Legislature embark in the lieu/ of general legislation, 3et earn estly urges that the subject of regis tration' be calmly and deliberately considered. We do hope that Gov. Simpson's views may influence the members to take this matter up. John A. Moroso, Esq. Jty a Jute issue of the Charleston! Sumlay Tinvs we notice that this j gentleman has severed his connection as editor with that paper because of the increased demands of the Netos and Courier upon his lime. His edi torial management of t.ic Times was highly satisfactory to its readers, nnd reflected no little credit upon him as a first-class newspaper man. Whilst! the Times loses Ins valuable services, the public will doubtless be the gainer by the concentration of the best tal ent and energy of the state upon the staff of the News and Courier. Will no* Decline. A near personal and political friend of cx-President Grant, who doubtless knows whereof he speaks, authorizes the,following as a correct statement of the .General's position with reference to the .Presidency : He says General Grant is not now nor bn? he ever, been a candidate for the Presidential nomination ; but should the Republi can National Convention nominate Uim,in<thc same manner ?S any other candidate .would be nominated lie .would deem it bis duty to bis, country and his party to accept. .Traveling abroad, he was a stranger to the con teat going pn fur the ?Prpsidential nomination and has written, no letters on the subject to any person, and as sertions to the contrary are without foundation in fact.
