The.State Republican Convention wiifcji-'mct in Coin tn hi a on Thursday ami adjourned on Saturday last, was a complete faiUue so fur as accom plishing , tlie purposes for which it wn? called is concerned. After dis cussing in secrccl session the matter of nominating a State ticket, it was reluctantly agreed that a State cam paigU would result disastrously to life party and a concentration of efforts upon, the electoral ticket was all that promised anything at Una election. The leaders in c^ory county had promised the colored people great tilings?a . full stale and county tick et, thousands of dollars from the na tignal.party, big mass meetings, elo "qucut speakers from the 'North and a ?glorious success next November. To give a1fa.ee of boldness to their move-; iiicnls and thereby excite some de gre.p of enthusiasm*.among tho voters, inflammatory speeches were made and e^ory conceeivabio "means employed to iwray the colored citizens avairist lljeir .white* neighbors. iNow, how cyerj it turns out there is to be no :: State ticket, no county tickets except .***ii?j> few/aVoiable localities, no money '^^onj^^^o^^i^P^?njl|'\v.i "O mass ^l^cting^ no^Norjiiern-.;speakers and jib glorious victory; hut the Demo muts are .to have everything their own <way as in 18.7,0,and,'.78. Elliott makes a clean breast of the whole-?matter, -and tells bin. race that no assistance will be given the in-by the national tl)art$j that it lakes long years of self ? .jde.nial, e;\r<?ful training ntfd education to make a race onpable.of.self govern .jTTioettt^.AM^ thfty jnjus^j frail, and that .? the. Democratic parly will exhaust ^Veiy^mcdhs ^ant^ ^p|vtlance in their i power before l.bey^>iil|j8^rrender tho : ' government. Th'e3C' -''-?ra ?. stubborn *;..ltu,ths^aud it is well for our colored . people to. consider them well. The Republican ; party . care nothing for a MMU gf^fffS? smcc their voles can't put the leaders in ollice. The colored .man was the nation's pel as long as lie voted away sums of money . .to enrich the pockets of some Repub lican^ but now he is nobody?not wortbty of a few dollars to aid in a State election and must look for Iiis bread and meat, Iiis protection of per son and property to the Democrats. Our 'colored friends will find Hie same th'ng true with Roliver, Webster, Liv ingston and Shaker. So soon as they oaril get oilices Iry the eoloied man's vote he may go to the dogs. A Model Ticket. The State nominations proposed by -the Special committee of the Rcpubli wean Convention embrace some rich oases. Among them are E. A. Web ster for CoraplioUer-General, John . U, Livingston for State Treasurer, ? W. R. Marshall, of Charleston, for Attorney-General, T: E. Miller, col ored, for Lieutenant Governor and H. L. Shrewsbury, colored, for Secre tary of State. When such men as Tuft, Elliott and Straker could not swallow the precious morsel, others of less strength of stomnch can be easily excused. It was the best, however, the committee could do, for these were tho best Republicans iu the whole State. If this is true (and we arc disposed to believe it) it is a sad commentary on South Carolina Radicalism. The catttrai inference is that no county ticket can he put up with any heller claims on the musses for honesty than this model ticket. None arc honest; no, not one. The battle of Gettysburg tvas fought on the Confederate side main ly by LongsUcct's troops. This emi nent Confederate ia now drawing the comfortable.-salary of 87,000 na Mr. JIaycs' Minster to Turkey. Mean while tl.o Union soldier who wonHhe battle at Gettysburg, and saved Pennsylvania and the North from in vasion, is being denounced by the Republican press na a traitor and rebel sympathizer. Somehow it scorns us it things have been mixed, Whloh Is True ? In a speech delivered soon after the Chicago Convention, Senator Wln dom declared that it was not the pur pose of the Republican party to. colo nize tho negroes of the South in the Northwest. But a 8hort time since*, 'Mr. Cessna^ Chairman of the Repub lican Executive Committee of Penn sylvania, said the Republican party stands pledged to take the colored people to the Northwest where they cum get their rights. .There is evi dently a wide discrepancy between the stntemcnls of these party leader*. Either is damaging to the party. If Senator Windoin is right, then the colored people, who have been re pentedly promised this fostering care of the National Bepublicau party by such gratuitous advisers as Bolivcr, Webster and Strnkcr, have an addi tional proof that the National Repub licans propose to abandon them to their fate. If on the other hand, Mr. Cessna is right, then the Northwest will rise up against any such move nrcnt, for it is as much as she can do to take care of her own citizens. Thus between Scylla on the South and Charybdis on the North, immi ment danger threaten the Republican i party, it matters not which side it lak?s. That the exodus from North Carolina and Virginia ho Indiana was! a political move no one can doubt.1 who remembers the report of the committee on the subject. It was in tended" to meet the very emergency lipon which the electoral vole of that Stute hangs, but whether the present experience of the party-caused Air. Wiudom to excuse the job is for the futuro to develop** Do Beiter or Hush Up. I Tho .New Ybrk Nation, an ludc pendent; .papery but n ? supporter ot jfjarticld; and Arthur, says the con stant limping of Republican papers on Senator Hampton's speech is an. evident sign of .weakness, and '? ihc,^ cannot get something bettor to. go be fore the people on, Ihey nad better not go at all. A drowning men will catch at HvoWa, i? very applicable at this time, to the Republican patty. In the absence of anything they can harp on abont Hancock anil English, tlie next, liesf 'tliilig is to attack Sena tor Hampton'Wrlli the hope of bring ing tho South if?f&fhad repute among tho con8crvativo>aml independent vo ters of the North. This might do in some oases, but Hampton's patriotism and broad conservative views are too well-kuown in every part of the coun try for such childish work. No con venient' construction or garbled re port of letter or speech of such a statesman can in Hue nee a corporal's gnard North or South. Democratic Rally. The Democratic party of South Carolina opened the campaign in Co lumbia last Tuesday by a grand Han cock and Hagood ratification meeting. Among the speakers were Senators Bayard of Deleware, Butler, of South Carolina, and Hons. Johnson Hagood and M. P. O'Connor. All of the speakers gave cheering accounts of the campaign, and expressed the opin ion that Hancock would undoubtedly be elected. There was a large crowd and much enthusiasm was manifested. Let the good work go on. and victory is sure. It appears that Livingston and Webster were the straws that broke the Republican camel's back in Co lumbia last week. A member of the committee on nominations s*aid the committ.ee had solicited Mr. Simeon Corlcy to accept the nomination for Stato Treasurer and Mr. T. B. John son that of Comptroller-General, but they both declined, and the names ol Livingston and Webster had been .sub stituted. The commillccman in apol ogizing lor the bad character of the ticket, seemed to think that Corlcy and Johnson would have given it re sftculahiliiy and character. ? ? ? ? ? Mili.ru, the chairman of the com mittee appointed to nominate a State ticket by the Republican Convention, must be a right honest kind of u dar key. Ho said tho ticket submit' qd was not such a one as he would like to see .presented to the people for thcii sii(Trage, but thai it was the best the conunitleo could tlo. As Miller was on the ticket foiLieulcn ant-Governor wo are disposed to ao ccpt his statement as true. No man will talk thus of himself without good and sullicient cause. Radical Corpses in Council. Tbo Radical Convention that mot in Columbia on the second of September was a funeral affair. In personnel, in bitterness and in malice, ii was an ex act counterpart of the conventions that convened in tho heyday of Radi calism. Rut Hie fangs of lira serpent have been drawn and its contortions and writhings can be viewed with amusement. Their days were con sumed in wrangling and .abort;ve efforts to select a comparatively strong ticket. This effort was foredoomed from the beginning, yet it remained for the Radicals themselves to show how wide of the mark they could come. On tho second day the com-, mittce on nominations presented the following ticket: ForOovernotyJohn Win smith, of Spnrtunburg ; For Lieu tenant-Governor, Thos. IS. Milder, (colored), of Beaufort; Comptroller General, IS. A. Webster, of Orange burg ; Secretary of Slate, II. L. Shrewsberry, (colored), of Chester field ; Attorney-General, Warren R. Marshall, of Charleston - .Superinten dent of Education, S. D. Gilbert, of Beaufort; Adjutant and Inspector General, C. C. Turner, of Spar-lan burg ; State Treasurer, John LI. Liv ingston, of Orangcburg. . This was the signal for a general at tack along the whole lino. Blythe made a minority report, opposing any nominations. Taft desired a tic ket, but thought Dr. Winsmith too old. He recommended Thomas B, Johnson, of Sumter. Elliott spoke for an hour against nominations, He said the Democrats would never give up power without exhausting every means. Lack of Deirocratic opposi tion in 1872 and lS74|led to Republi can bolts and destroyed the party. The Republicans must adopt the same tactics and attack the .Denio ; units in det ail. No assistance would ! be given by the-North. Let the State j ticket go by default and the,electoral I ticket may win. As Elliott gets eight j dollars a day in a fat office from Sher I man, he was regarded as speaking "by the'card, and the bucket of coid wa ter he threw over thc.licli.el, chilled the. ardor of Its stippo/Zters. Taft him self pro:'e3Htd conversion, 'and ridi culed the ItjUm of entering .into a cum psv.gn With -such men at tho head. 4'W. uO ever beard ofaGjlbea-,t?'' asked he, and continued, "Warren R. Mar shall is .another nice 'tbaiPld' pat as. Attorney General?a.' man who <\\i\s driven cut' of the county of Fair 11 eld by the Republicans in 187G." As Marshall was evidently an under dog in the fight, one or two more throw sticks at him. Strnker contemptu ously asked where Marshall got h|s learning to- be Attorney-General of South Carolina. He didn't think the convention would be such a set of fools us to put up such a man ds a candidate. A - delegate pitched into Strak'er,"whom he charged with being chagrined because he wasn't oh! the ticket. Miller, himself on the ticket, thought it wouldn't do. Warren R. Marshall, he learned, had been advo cating a white Republican ticket, which was enough to kiii him with the colored voters. Marshall was more than ho could sttind. Mr. Blythe, who is said to have congrcs sional)aspirations|in the fourth district professed his utter inability to swal low this mess. And so the ticket was killed, and the State Executive Committee was entrusted with the duty of bringing out one hereafter if deemed advisable. The following presidential electors were nominated : At large, A. S. Wal lace and T. B. Johnston. For the Congressional districts. W. A. Hayue, ?. A. Webster, T. N. Tol bcrt, Wilson Cook and B. P. Chat. - field. E. W. M- Mackey was make Chairman of the State Executive Committee. S. L. Duncan is county chairman of Orangeburg. Smalls and E. W. M. Mackey "were nominated for Congress. The other district con ventions have not met. "Thus ended chapter first of. the rad ical campaign. Finding no chance of winning a square out fight, ihey. will be on the qui Vive for any weakness on our part. Their evident desire is. to lull us into security and then spring a State ticket a day or two before election. It can bo printed along with the electoral ticket and made known on the day of election. Mack ey h an old hand and will bear watch ing. If there is any chance for a blow he will get it in. ;_?_. j Mackky was elected Chairman of the Radical Excelivo Committee by tho late Convention at Columbia, I which looks as if the fight, and only fight, will be made in those counties i where tlie colored people aro in the majority. Orangcburg being one of these, It iB only necessary to remind our eoloretl citizens hero that this is an clfott to make them once more the pliant tool of Mackey, Bolivcr and Webster. After tho recent expos ures at Columbia of tho rottenness and weakness of the party in the Stale it is scarcely reasonable 10 sup pose that our colored people will hazard their future relations with their while neighbors by a blind obc d'once to those old parly hacks. As will be seen by ft notice in another column tho Hon. M. P. O'Connor, and other dislinguiscd speakers, will ftddresa'lho people ai various places in the county. i Hon. M. P. O'Connor and other distinguished speakers will address the citizens of Drangeburg County, at or near tho places named, as follows : M. L. Gleaton's Store, Tuesday, Sept. 21. Knotls' Mill, Wednesday, Sept, 22. St. Matthews, Thursday, Sept. 23. Pine Grove Church, Friday, Sept. 24. Bull's Mill, Saturday, Sept. 25. Ayer's, Tuesday, Sept. Branchville. Wednesday. Sept. 29. Easterlin's Mill, Thursday, * Sept. 30. Other appointments will be announ ced hereafter. Straker. rose to a question of in formation in the recent meeting of the faithful at Columbia and wanted, to know where Marshall* had learned sufficient law to qualify him, for the office of Attorney-General of South Carolina. We trusj, that t,hp embryo Attorney-General will immediately furnish the desired information, to the sable gentleman from Bermuda, and relieve his mind. Boliver and Straker says that if ihe colored people don't get their rights at the next election, Yankee guns will shoot ns loud as ever, and the scenes of 18C1 will be repeated. Elliott says they will get no assist ance froin the national party. Some body lies, and we are inclined, to tili nie that it wasn't Elliott. M^arket Report. Corrected Weekly uy J. C. Pike. cotton.
