Is'rilEl'AltKI) TO DO AI,t, KIND801* Job Printing The Radical County Convention. Tho Republican County Conven tion, called to elect delegates to tlic .State Convention, which met in Co lumbia on the 27th instant, assembled in the Independent Engine House on last Saturday at 11 o'clock A, M. Of the one hundred delegates present all were colored save two, J. II. Liv ingston, Sheriff, and E. A. Webster, Postmaster. The majority of the col ored members, though many of thorn old teams and well broken to the har ness, wcro a much moro respectable looking set than we expected to find them, while a minority wcro rather seedy looking country darkies, evi dently unused to such weighty respon sibility. At the appointed hour S. L. Dun can, County Chairman, armed with a well-grown hickory stick instead of the customary gavel, called the meet ing to order, when the Secretary read the call under which the body had met. After reading the list of dele gates it was announced that Mic scats of four of the Orangeburg delegation ,wcrc contested and the Chairman said the first business to be trnnactpd was the settlement of this slight difference in the camp. The oontcst was princi pally between Webster and Strakor, the other parties to the contest being .colored men of no influence whatever. In this fight Boliver, who hates Stra ker with an abiding hatred, espoused the side of Webster, and worked with might and main to keep Strakcr out of the Convention, while Strakcr was equally as zealous to get in. Thus stood the redoubtable warriors when the battle opened, which was.to be stubbornly contested inch by inch. A motion to appoint a committee of eleven to decide the contest caused considerable confusion, bluster and discussion, during which several members tried to unbottlc their elo quence but were promptly choked oil by the Chair. The motion finally prevailed and the committee was ap pointed, and, after being instructed by the Convention to report in twen ty miuutes, retired. The Convention then took a recess for twenty minutes, during which time several patriotic members edified the brethren who re mained in the ball with speeches on ]Lho issues of the day in tho usual grandiloquent style. This continued until the Convention reassembled when, after waiting sometime for tho committee on the contest to report, a motion was adopted appointing a se cond committee to inform said com- ! mittee that the Convention was wait-1 ing and they must report at once. | This peremptory command had the I desired effect and the tardy commit tee, making its appearance, reported tbat it was advisable to admit all the contestants as members with only a half vote each. This happy solution of the dilliculty was vociferously adopted by the Convention to the in tense gratification of the friends of Straker and the utter discomfiture of the friends of Boliver. The following was then called as a complete roll of the Convention : Fort Motte.?S. L, Duncan, J. D. Duncan, James Weeks, Lawrence Stewart] Henry Duncan, A. J. John son.

The announcement that the perma nent organization of the Convention \vu8 now in order, brought about twenty delegates to their feet, all jab bering with a perfect Babel confusion, each speaking in an unknown tongue, while the Chairman kept pounding a table with his hickory stick until he succeeded in bringing tho noisy crowd to something like order and quiet. S. L. Duncan was then nomi nated and elected President and J. L. Williams Secretary of the Conven tion. The President oh taking his seat endeavored to impress upon the members the importance of order and decorum?telling them that reporters ot the press were present and the transactions of the meetirg would go before the public. He announced the next business in order to be the election of five dele gates to the State Convention. This was the signal for another general stir and shouts of "MislerJPresidcnt" by fifty voices bent on being heard. Order at last being partially restored, a motion was made to limit the speeches nominating candidates to three minutes, pending the adoption of which a third terrible rumpus ill the camp was created, to quiet which necessitated long and continued pounding on the table with the hicko ry stick by the President, who was certainly a persevering officer. The following nominations were at last rccoided: S. L. Duncan, D. A. Straker, E. A. Webster, C. W. Cald wcll, J. H. Livingston, L. Arthur, II. II. Ilayncs, Frank Simpson, Ellis Forrest and D. G. Johnson, when a motion to close the nominations rais ed a yell in the camp that will not soon be forgotten by every nervous temperament iu the hall. Everybody in general and nobody in particular seemed to have the iloor, a hundred hands were sawing the air, and n hundred voices, jarring in discordant sounds, made the hull appear a per fect pandemonium of demons. The persevering Duncan with his hickory club sould be heard above the yell ing, dealing lusty blow after blow, until the mob was reduced to some thing approximating order when the motion was put and, we suppose, adopted. A desire to know whether the dele gates were in favor of Grant or not, opened a discussion which had the etrcct of taking the Convention com pletely out of the hands of the Presi dent, club or no club, until D. A. Straker catching the ear of the Con vention with his sharp, shrill voice, offered the following resolution which had a soothing effect and the tuibu lent members quieted down : Resolved, That the Delegates sent by this Convention to the State Con vention, which meets in Columbia, on the 27th of April, 1880, be and arc hereby instructed to vote for no man as Delegate to the National Conven tion who will not pledge himself to vote for U. 8. Grant as nominee of the Republican party for President of the United htatcs. After repeated calls of the list the following delegates were finally elect ed in the order mentioned: S. L. Duncan, D. A. Straker, E. A. Web ster, J. II. Livingston und L. Arthur. Several pints of order were raised du ring the election of the last delegate, but after a few more resolutions were adopted the Convention adjourned after a stormy session of five hours but no blows except with the hickory club on tho table. Fort Motte. How many memories surround this name. Here it was that Mrs. Rebecca Motte gave her home to tb.o flames for love of her country and her patriotism, and here it was that Isaac Motte, her son, tho colonel under Moultric, the hero of Charleston harbor, saw the light, and whose name is emblazoned on the stona of fame erected at While Point. Our blood coagulates at the sound of Fort Motto. Col. A. D. Gqodwyn, a gentleman, a native M this historic spot, has been nominated for tho olliee of Adjutant and Inspcc I tor-General. Let the people say.? I B( aujort Crescent. A Radical Precinct Meeting. The Republicans of Orangeburg Precinct, according to posted notice, met in muss meeting on the 23d in stant to elect sixteen delegates to tho County Convention. The meeting was held in tho open air for the pur pose, wo suppose, of keeping the members cool and thereby preventing a rccurrano of a scene which trans pired at tho independent Engine Hall the night previous, where a pri vate caucus, held by the faithful, broko up in a general row, amid the brandishing of knives and clubs, and, on the approach of a policeman, in a rather disorderly stampede in which the stalwarts led the race. If the cooling and soothing effects of the gentle zephyrs was the object of tho open air project, it proved a signal failure as the sequel will show. About twelve o'clock the chairman, J. M. Thompson, read the instructions of the County Chairman and announced that the meeting was ready for busi ness. Some dusky patriot, not satis fied with his surroundings moved that tl*c meeting adjourn to a vacant lot on the other side of the street which was adopted without a dissent icg voice. There being nothing in the shape of table, desk or chair at hand for the use of the Chairman, an other pati iot suggested that a curt near by, be pressed into service. The wisdom of this being apparent tho suggestion was immediately carried into 'execution by rolling the cart to a more convenient location and tho Chairman mounted upon it. On mo tion, D. ?. Bradwell was elected tem porary nnd afto:ward permanent sec retary without opposition. The Chair man or Cart man here announced that nominations for Precinct Chairman were i>> order. D. A. Strakcr, E. A. Webster and J. M. Thompson wore put in nomination for that position. J. M. Thompson having declined, the contest was between Strakcr anil Webster. Two tellers were appointed to conduct the election and all hands were requested to sit or lie down on the grass which was done very readi ly as the brethren seemed to bo in an accommodating mood. The Chair man or cartman, requested all those in favor of Strakcr to stand up and the tellers reported after count that 55 had voted for him. All hands be ing seated again, those in favor of Webster were invited to stand up and the tollers reported the result as 47 votes !or Webster. Right here came the lug of war when Greek met Greek" and brazen spear on bossy buckler struck. It did not seem to suit the cut and dried programme ol certain leaders to have Strakcr elect Chairman of the meeting no mattet how many votes he might have re ceived and to prevent it Thompson, who had declined previously, and was presiding, announced his determina tion to run and requested a friend to put his name before the meeting. This was certainly the veriest, farce wc ever saw ; but being no funeral of ours, wc were considerably amused, at the way in which they proposed to beat Strakcr anyhow. Strakcr pro tested earnestly ugotnst the injustice of such an unusual proceeding, but being promptly ruled out of order by Thompson, the vote was takeln -and the tellers announced 51 votes in fa vor of the candidate. Thompson then in ti c magnanimity of his gener ous soul said he would turn over his fifty-cue votes to Wubsier thus mak ing, by the addition, his vote U8, and declared him elected Chairman. When it is taken into consideration that the same parties who voted lor Webster also voted for Thompson the generosity of this honest Radical can hardly be over estimated. When | Webster stepped up to take the chair, or., more properly the cart, Strakcr approached and asked in the name of decency and fair dealing if he would take a position to which ho had not been elected. Strakcr appeal ed to bis manhood, his intelligence, and his sense of tight with the hope of shaming Webster out of accepting the ollicc, but it was no use. It would not do to let Strakcr act ns Chairman, and so he had to be counted out, and they did count him out, but he wouldn't btny counted out. In the peculiar manner so natural to Web ster, he said he did not know whether he had been elected or not, but as the chair so decided ho would serve and thought ho could harmonize matters. Tho modest Straker, however, was not in die humor to he harmonised but thoroughly disgusted with the burlesque and farce he invilcd his I friends lo follow him and marched oil with a majority of the meeting to an other part of tho field where he pro ceeded to organize an opposition meeting and to elect sixteen delegates in accordance with tho call. The Webster meeting did the same and thus between the divided house the Orangeburg Precinct carried up a double delegation lo the Convention on Saturday. The only white men present who participated in the meeting were Geo. Boliver and E. A- Webster ; the cause of the lalter the former espoused, A War Anecdote. During the late war Gen. McLaws, now Post master at Savannah, was riding down his picket line, and met a genuine son of the OKI Pine Trc? State on duty, who had taken his gun apart with the intention of giv ing it n thorough cleaning. The j Generul halted in front of him, when the following conversation ensued. "Look here, my man, are you not a sentinel on duty ?" "Well, y-a-s, a bit of a one?" "Don't you know it is wrong to take your gun apart while on duty?" "Well, now, who the d?1 arc you?" The General saw his chance, and I with a sly twinkle of the eye, replied : "I'm a bit of a General." "Well, Gincrai, you must excuse me. Yon sec thar Is so many d?n fools ridin' 'round hero n fellow can't tell who's Ginerc.l and who ain't. If you will jist wait till I git Betsy Jane fixed I will give you a bit of a s'lule." The General smiled and rode on. (Irmly convinced that that sentinel would prove equal to any emergency. ?Savannah Nctus. Col. A. D. Goodwin. The Orangchurg Democrat nomi nates this gallant soldier of the late war for the position of Adjutant-Gen, of this State, and does no more than justice to him in ilr. complimentary notice of Ins- claims. Wo concur in every word that iCVittcrs, and if the convention, when iL nominates, should see lit to place him on the ticket, no where will iL meet with a heartier well done than in old Ker bhaw where Col. Goodwin married, and lived Ibra number of years. As Adjutant of the 2nd Regiment, and then its Major ami Lieut. Colonel, he won distinction by his courage, and devotion to duty ; while his unwaver ing urbanity and kindness fixed him deep clown in the hearts of his com rades. Ever a true patriot and lo3*al son of Carolina in weal or woe, and I ready at all times to do her bidding, he has never regarded any service in her behalf as too irksome, or sacrifice too great, and should he receive the nomination as Adjutant-General he will serve her with untiring energy in this new field of action.?K rshaio Qazdls. Help One Another. It is true that nature at certain mo incuts seems charged with n presenti ment of one individual lot, must it not also be true that she seems un mindful, unconscious of another? For there is no hour thut has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new desolat'on as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so . different?what wonder that nature's mood is often in 'hard contrast with tho crisis in our lives? We arc chil dren of a large family, and must learn, as such do, not to expect that our hearts be made much of?to be content with little nurture and caress ing, and help each other tho more. Marrying for Money*. Scnrlor Cbristiancy is now sixty eight years old and his- wife is at least twenty-live years younger. He found her in tho Treasury Depart ment counting bank notes, and was taken with her vivacity, coquetry and pretty face, and threw his sober judg ment and the advice of his friends to tho wind and married her. She was vain and frivolous and so dazzled by the bank notes and position ofi her venerable admirer that she dis carded a very worthy but poor young man to whom she was engaged, und : became Mrs. Senator Christiancy. Now that the tables are turned, if all! that is told be true,, each must very heartily indorse the opinion of the j world which pronounces them a coitr! plo of fools. A Radical Defeat Washington, April 11.?The most thorough und humiliating defeat yel experienced by tho Radicals was brought upon them yesterday in the House of Representatives by a pre concerted movement to keep st II, if one may so speak, on the part of tho Democratic members. Under the des perate attempt of Messrs. Ilawloy, Robcson, Keifer and Frye to nag and irritate the hot-headed Kentuckiana into a second chapter of extra session folly, Mr. Ilawley led off with a speech full of fire and fury, doing all in his power to exasperate the Demo crats and goad them into some ex pression which might be perverted into a Republican war cry during the canvass. It was a grotesque faMure. All the ringing periods of the illustri ous Joseph were received with roars of laughter on the Democratic side. When Grant's ex-Secretary of the Navy followed Joseph he fairly saw ed I he air and grow red in the fa fc until the compassionate Democrats grow apprehensive of a fit of apo plexy. But they could not be moved even by pity into giving the least echo to his cheap thunder. At the expiration of his hour a heartless Democrat even moved that his time be indefinitely extended. Mr. Robc son was shrewd enough to decline this tempting oiler, and sat down with the air of a man who had got more than he bargained for. Mr. Keifer was then put up with a bottle of vitroilc in one hand and a bloody shirt in the other, but mot with the same deadly and good-natuied contempt, and soon sat down in a state of ludrieously evident chagrin, giving place to Mr. Fi ve, who bellowed like a little bull, but equally to as little purpose, in fact to less purpose, for when he sank exhausted into his place, Mr. Cox, of Now York, who had been standing for some time against a desk observing his heroic efforts with quiz zical good nature, and to whom Frye, imagining himself at last to have landed a whale, magnanimously con ceded the rest of the hour, produced a book, which he asked leave to send to tho Clerk's desk tint an extract from it might be read to the House, as embodying the full reply of the Democracy lo the lonado of elo quence which had just swept ovor the House. Profound silence ensued, amid which the Clerk road out aloud a most thrilling description from Longstrcct's ''Georgia Scenes," a well known historical work in the vain of'-IIu libi as," of a grand sham light waged in the Stale many years ago, in which the victor and the van quished, the bottle-holders and the bystanders were all represented by a country youth, wiio, solitary and alone, personated all the characters in an old Held fisticuff light, and who, when interrupted in his diver sion, dcclarnd ho was "only sccin' how he could have fought." The conclusion of this extract was greeted with uprourous laughter and applause on tho Democratic side and in the galleries, the ladies present scream ing with delight and waving their handkerchiefs, while the discomfilted Republicans sat in gloomy silence, biting their lips and casting looks like daggers at their nntogonisls. Mr. Frye became more than usually corrugated, Robcson's roses grew da mask, Conger wriggled on his sent beyond the eel whose name hn has made famous in American history, and Kcifcr'a eyes swelled with unshed tears. People looked on all Bides for Joseph Ilawley, but he had vanished. Tho astute Garficld, like the bravo captain, had taken time by the fore lock nnd fallen buck before the action began. If over proverb was justified the story of yesterday shows that if speech bo sometimes silver, silence may bo sometimes golden. Its sim ple lesson was, tho Republicans re ceived completo notice to pull up their stakes on the old onoampinent nnd look out for now issues if they mean to show light in earnest on the political field in 1880. Tub Darlington Republicans are Bible students. The News, in giving nil account of the late Republican Convention, says : "While the Con-: milteo was out, the Rev. Isaac Isom was called on to address the meeting. He said that some people were going to hell, but all were not going there, "for God has say in do Bible dat do poor Republican should bo on my side, but I don't seo in do Bible xvhar He sagant/ting 'bout da Demoorack." A delegate 'removed dat do report ob de committee bo recebed and redopt cd,' which was carried." JM?w York at Cincinnati. Every Illing then, so far as tho Democratic party is concerned de pends upon the Cincinnati Conven tion. It will Lave to admit cither a solid Tilden delegation or a solid op position. If it admits the former, it will surrender the Slate of New York lo the Iiepublicuns and practically abandon the greatest and most im portant Stale. If it admits the Tammany delegates, Mr. Tildcn's nomination may be avoided, and It has his wofd that he will support the nominee, ""say Senator Bayard or General Hancock. It is probable that the Convention will favor a com promise. It may take*the Tammany delegater. from New York city nod the Tilden delegates from the State, leaving it to them lo vote as they may prefer, or prescribing to them how they shall vote. At any rate Mr. Tilden has power, skill and num beis on his side, while Tammany holds the balance of power as between the National parlies, and J the most important fort. Mr. Til-' den means to capture that fort either j by cunning or by bi llies. The fort is '? anxious to be captured ; it hopes lo surrender to some one only it piefers to strengthen the position of any one but Mr. Tilden. The probabilities, therefore, arc an alternative :?Mr. Tildcn's nomination at Cincinnati, including a Democratic defeat in New York, or his defeat at Cincinnati'by Tammany, and, in consequence, a solid Democracy. The development of this alternative will invest the history of the Democratic party with some wholly novel interest. The du ly of tho Republican party mean while remains unchanged. Spreading Themselves. The more a man sees of the world, and the rr.oiobe mingles with others, the smaller space he is inclined to claim for himself among his fellows. He sees that in the pushing struggle of life, other people's rights must be respected ; and he must not take more ground than just enough to stand on. This is very marked in all crowds, and in all public plnoes and convey ances. The man or woman who is best versed in society makes the smallest demands and occupies the least space. The persons who take more room than belongs to them arc those who have been the least in com pany, least accustomed to adapt themselves to the needs of those about them. If you want tobe thought j well-bred, cosmopolitan, keep in your elbows in a crowd, and sit close in a street car. If you want to be thought boorish and uncultivated, and to he recognized as one who was never much in good company, push both sides of you, as well in front as in rear, in a Crowd, and spread your self out in a car, or in a public hall. A Joke on Senator Edmunds. It is related that a few days ago Judge Mackey (Republican), from South Carolina, was silling in the gal lery of the Senate, when a sharp-faced, razor strnp-looking fellow said to him s "Mister, can you point out lo me that infernal Hamburg murderer, Bullet or South Carolina?" "Don't you see that baldhcadcd man1" point ing to Seualor Edmunds : "well that is Butler, of South Carolina." The eyes of the Yankee were lighted up with indignation as lie replied, "Yes, I could have picked him out of a thousand," adding a good deal that was not complimentary to the distin guished Vermonter. When Senator Hampton told this joke on Mr. Ed munds the latter Iaugln d heartily, and remarked that it was a compli ment to be taken for so handsome a man as General Butler.?Baltimore Sun. The Duty of tho Hour. When a party is not brave enough to do light, its work is'at an end. If the doctrine of Straightonlism was not rash and inconsiderate in 187G as a means of redemption, to "go back" upon the principles enunciated then, and preach one of conservatism now, would be only to perpetuate in ofllce those who expect to practice upon our political enemies the false sentiment or ceremony of Fusionism. The Straightout Democratic Party can lake no stop backward, even by gra dation for expediency, without endan gering the Genius of tho Institution that is to tnako this Government a government of the workers.?
