The Sumter Watchman was fouled ic 1850 and tile True Southron in 1866V The Watchman and Southron nov ba? tire eombiued circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly the best advertising nar?iamin Sumter._ The New England Industrial Ex - hibition. The Board of Agriculture of the State having declined to take any steps towards providing'a fand for an exhibit of Sonia GaroHaaV resoorces at the Boston Exposition, an eSbrfc is being pat on foot to bring teether the vari? ons Boards of Trade ia the State, with iee view of senor i og the necessary seana. Col. S. A. Pearce, President of the Columbia. Board of Trade, is at the head of tho movement, and the probability is that Commissioner Batter wilt also ase bis infloenee in gathering exhibits, and take control of them during, tfee Exposition. We are anxious for the success of the enterprise. We do not see why South Carolina should lag behind ber sister states, mad fail to show to the world that her resources are as great as can be found elsewhere in the Sooth. To stay away from Boston will indicate a lack of public spiritedness, and it must be confessed that this has long been a draw-back to oar people, . in many directions." We say, let as go to Bos? ton along with other folks. Tba Inah-American Convention. The movement initiated by the Irish Convention in Philadelphia last week is of vast importance, bott to the Irish born subjects Of Great Britain and the Irish-born citizens of this country. It is the result of the. agrarian discontent which has for generations agitated Ire? land, and bas been the sole disturbing cause in all her pathetic history. Eng? lish rule, o ver Ireland was instituted by conquest, and her subjugation ander Cromwell was not much harsher than tba rale ander which she now ehafes. Ii snort, England is the b?ge land? lord of Ireland, not ordy exacting rent, frost the tenants, bot evicting those wno fail to pay. This in Ireland means starvation or to eke oat a- miser? able existence in weary despondency within tba dismal walls of the work ' To tranquilize the aroused Irish; Mr. Gladstone bas more than once executed tba face-sVbut. but in every wheel of bis policy tba interest of this unfortunate race goes to the wall.' The aspiration that goaded the Am?? ricain people to throw off the British yoke,JjLthe one that to-day animates tenreast of every Irishman in Ireland sad America. That aspiration is nationality. This by the laws of God is their birthright. A right that will allow them to live coder their own vine and fig-tree-paying no rent to an* landlords, bat masters of their ow o do? les New9 York World, in an edito? rial says: "The resolution about pauperism and the importation of paupers from Ireland into the United States properly de? nounces as 'unnatural and inhuman' that British policy the intent and ef? fect of which are first to reduce the Irish peasant to abject poverty and then to drive him penniless from his home to throw himself on the charity of Ameri? ca. Against this iniquity' the authors of tba Philadelphia resolutions most eloquently sad propely protest. Noth? ing could be better or more timely than tile demand of the convention that Pres? ident Arthur shall firmly say to the British Ministry 'that it js the duty of the Government of the United States to decline to support paupers whose pau? perism began under aod ts the result of English misgovernment, and to de? mand- of England that she scud no more of such paupers to these shores to become a burden upon the American people.' 'There is no discussion or expression of doubt or even of opinion bare as to the rights of expatriation, emigration, naturalization and repatria? tion. . The resolution deals only with Irish paupers who have bc tn made paupers intentionally by British mis? government and British landlord? ism forced on Ireland. It demands that the British Government shall main? tain its own paupers within its own jur? isdiction. ' If Mr. Parnell's policy, as embodied in the Philadelphia resolutions, is fol? lowed sod applied with coolness, coher? ence'and courage, a brighter day is des? tined to smile apon tho inhabitants of the Emerald Isle. The following is the Address adopted bj tba convention, together with other important proceedings : 'The Irish-American people, assem? bled in convention at Philadelphia, sub? mit to tba intelligence and right reason of their fellow-men that the duty of a government is to preserve the lives of tba governed ; to extend their liberty ; to protect their property ; to maintain peace and order ; to allow each portion of the people an equitable and efficient voice in its legislature, and to promote their general welfare by wise just and humane laws. We solemnly declare and cite unquestioned history and uni? versal knowledge of living men in tes? timony thereof, that English govern? ment bas existed in Ireland not to pre? serve the lives of the governed but to destroy them. Eotire communities it bas wantonly massacred by the sword ; to tba ssyloms of terrified women it bas deliberately applied the blazing torch ; into helpless towns it bas discharged deadly bombs and shells : through con? secrated crypts, where age and infancy .ought shelter, it bas sent its bloody butchers; the saered persons of vene? rable priests it has stretched upon the task or suspended from the gibbet; in? nocent babes have been impaled on the points of its bayonets because, in their own words, its emissaries 'liked thai sport;' its gold bas been folded io tba band of the assassin and bas reward g-, ,- - ed tbe infamy of tbe prejured trait its1 treacherous falsehood has lured tr?ors to unsuspected death ; as if ?word,, cannon, ?orcb^ scaffold, dag; and explosive were D?t enough, it joys the unique infamy of being only government known to ancient modern times which has employed mine for the destruction of those fr whom it claimed allegiance-forci robbing the Irish people of the fri af their own toil, produced by their o labor; it has buried not a bandr not a thousand, but more than a mill of the Irish raee, UD shroud ed, uucofl ed, in the grave of hunger and I mercilessly compelled the other milli* in compulsory poverty, to seek in al lands the bread they were entitled to their own. There is no form of era ty ka-'wn to the lowest savage whicl has not practiced ?on the Irish peo in the name of the highest civilizati There is no device of fiendish ingei ity which bas not been adopted to duce their numbers. There is no 8] cies of destructive attack, however in dious or violent, ancient or mode! rude or scientific, whether direct against life or matter, in any portion the globe for which its barbarities Ireland have not furnished an exampl There is no form of retaliation, which despair or madness may reso for which the English cruelty in Ii land is not exclusively responsible.1 After rehearsing at length and io c tail England's crimes against Irelac as generalized in the foregoing fit clause of the preamble, the folio wi resolutions are formulated. Be it Resolved by the Irish'? Amena People in Convention Assembled, Tl the English government in Irelan originating io usurpation, and perpet ated by force, having failed to dischar any of the duties of a government never having acquired the consent the governed-has no moral right wb: ever to exist in Ireland, and that it is t duty of the Irish race throughout t world to sustain the irish people in t employment of all legitimate means substitute for it national self go ver ment. Resolved, That we pledge our u qualified and constant support, mor and material, to our countrymen in Ir land in their efforts to recover nation self-government, and in order the mo effectually to promote the object by tl consolidation of all our resources ac the creation of one responsible and ai tboritative body to speak for Ireland i America, that ail the societies repr sented in this convention and that ms hereafter comply with the conditions < admission, be organised into the Iris National League of Americtf for tl purpose of supporting the Irish Nation: League of Ireland, of which Charl? Steward Parnell is President. Resolved, That we heartily indort the noble sentiment of Bishop Botler, < Limerick, that every stroke of Foster1 savage lash was for the Irishman a ne proof of Parn wells worth and an ac ditional title for him to the confidenc and gratitude of his countrymen. ! Resolved, That we sympathize wit the laborers of Ireland in their efforts t improve their condition and, as we bav sustained the farmers in their assaul upon the landlord garrison, we now org upon the farmers justice and human coo sideration for laborers. In the words, fo the em ploy men tof which an Irish mem be of Parliament was imprisoned, we de mand that the farmers allow the labo re rs a fair day's wages for a fair day1 work Resolved, That as the manufacture of Great Britian are the chief' source o her material greatness already dedin in; under the influence of American com j petition, we earnestly counsel our couo try men in Ireland to buy nothing ii England which they can produce ii j Ireland or procure from America o France aud we pledge ourselves to pro mote Irish manufactures bv encourage ? ing their import into America and t< j use our utmost endeavor by plain state ments of facts and discrimination ii j patronage to persuade American trades j men from keeping English goods ot I sale. j Resolved, That an English Ministry jostentaueously ."liberal,** bas earnec j the contempt and detestation of all- fair j minded uieu throughout the world bj ! imprisoning more than one thousand ! citizens of Ireland without accusation j or trial, a number of whom were noble j hearted women engaged in the works j of mercy among the evicted victims ol : landlord rapacity and English law. The next resolution gives thanks tc ! a uuuiber of Catholic clergymen, whe I are named for providing homes foi j Irish immigrants into the United j States, and adds : The people of ire i land are by the laws of God and nature entitled to live by their labor in theil native land, whose fertile soil is abun? dantly able to nourish them, but since a brutal government compels large numbers of them to emigrate, it is the duty of their countrymen to warn them against the snares cf poverty in the large cities and to assist them in the agricultural regions. Resolved, That the policy of the ! English government in first reducing j the Irish peasantry to abject poverty [ and then sending them penniless to the United States, dependent upon Ameri? can charity, is unnatural, inhuman and an outrage upon the American govern? ment and people. We respectfully direct the attention of the United Staten government to this iniquity, protest against its continuance and instruct the officials who shall be cboseo by this convention to present our protest to the j President of the United States and re ! spectfu ly but firmly to urge upon the j President that it is the duty of the gov ? ernment of the United States to decline , to support paupers whose pauperism i began under and is the result ol i English misgovernment, and to de ' mand of England that she send no j more of her paupers to these shores to j become a burden upon the American j people. j The resolutions were adopted, aftet j which the committee on organization j reported a constitution and by-laws, j which were adopted, of which the fol ! lowing is an extract : j WHKKEAS, ID thc opinion of the ci ti - : zens of America and Canada, who are j Irish and of Irish descent, it is needful j for the purpose hereinafter set forth, ; that, sinking all private prejudice and j creed distinctions, they do unite to ! secure this common end and bind them i selves together under the name and j title of the Irish National League of America. Section 1. Thc objects of the Irish ! National League of America are : First ! -Earnestly and actively to sustain the j Irish Natioual League in Ireland with ; moral and material aid in achieving i self-government for Ireland. Sccodd I -To procure a clearer and more accu rate Understanding by the Alu ericas people of the political; industrial *od social condition of Ireland and that tbej may see for themselves that ber poverty is the resnlt of centuries of brute force and destructive legislation, and that if permitted to make her own laws on her own soil she will demonstrate the pos? session of ail the essentials, natural and ideal, for political autonomy, beneficial alike to Ireland and the United States. Third-To promote the development of Irish manufactures, by encouraging their import io to thc United States ; to promote the study of Irish history, past and present, and to circulate carefully prepared literature iu the schools and the societies, that the justice of the cause may be thoroughly defended against ignorance, malice and misrep? resentation. Fourth--To encourage the study of thc Irish language, the cultivation of Irish music aud an en? lightened love of art, characteristics which made the past of our race bright amid darkness and have always secured for the Celt success and renown in every country in which he has an equal oppor? tunity with his fellow. Fifth-To hurt the euemy where he will feel it most by refusiog to purchase any article of English manufacture and by using all legitimate influence to discourage tradesmen from keeping English manu? factures on sale. Sixth-To abolish j sectional feeling, to destroy those bale j ful animosities of province and creed which have been insidiously banded down by the enemy ; to weave a closer bond of racial pride and affection and to keep alive the holy flame of Irish nationality, while performing faithfully the duties of American citizenship.

Dr. Charles O'Reilly, Chicago, Treas? urer of the new League. WHO ALEXANDER SULLIVAN 18. Alexander Sullivan, now one of the mast prominent Irishmen in the world, is now 35 years of agc, and was born io Maine. He stumped the State of Michigan for the constitutional amend? ment giving to negroes the right of suf? frage, and was an active abolitionist. He was a Republican until 1872 when, being a strong friend of Greely, he sup j ported thc Liberal movement, and has since been a Democrat. He studied law with Algernon S. Sullivan, of New York, and has been for a number of years in successful practice iu Chi- ! cago. _ THE ?OLOB ??nsT A little common sense and some sound reasoning are necessary in the settlement of the problems of daily life, j and these identical elements should be ; allowed a place iu thc discussion of the, ! "Negro Problem." The question is a ! serious one and involves great interests both with reference to the white and to the colored race. But we venture the assertion that the discussion of no social or political problem has been marked with less sense and reason than this one. The fanatics, on thc one hand, who clamor for equal rights, socially j and politically, are willing to make no | concession of any kind, and instead of listening to argument, wildly cry, j i "Equal rights! equal rights!" On the \ ! other band, some go to another extreme, j and say, "No rights ! no rights ! except j such as we are wiitin? to accord." And j so the matter goes from side to side I ; like flour in a sieve, aud the prophet has not yet arisen who caa tell us what ! the solution of the problem will be. This we do know, however, that i those good people of the North who so ! willingly lecture us on our duties, and j think we are heathen because we can- j not see through their glasses, are con- ! tinually rebelling where any effort af- j ter "equal rights" is made among j them. In the New York Tribune, of I April 20th, we find this refreshing j item : Miss Susie B. Hopper, a young col? ored girl, was receutly graduated from the high school at Paterson, N. J., being the first of her race to finish the ? j course in that institution She has j since been a member of the training ? class for teachers. On Monday one of i the teachers in Public school No, 12 j was sick, and word was sent to the ? ? rooms of the Board of Education asking j j for a substitute. Miss Hopper being j ! next in tbe Hue of promotion, was de- j tailed to teach the class of the sick i teacher. Her appearance at the teach? er's desk was the signal for a stampede, I some of the scholars running away and those who remained becoming unman? ageable. School Commissioner Holt was waited upon by an angry delegation of parents, who demanded that the col j ored teacher be immediately removed, j The commissioner complied and gave I the necessary orders, but through a mis ! understanding Miss Hopper went to j the school again on Tuesday and was j assigned to another class as temporary j teacher. There was another uproar, and more waiting upon school commis? sioners by indignant parents. The con? sequence was that Miss Hopper was told that her services as substitute were not further required. Summer before last we entered a ho? tel at Plattsburg on Lake Chaplain, where it was said there was no color j line. At diuner time, wc went into ; thc dining hall, and presently a rou j latto man and woman entered. There ! being no color line, we expected they j woulJ take seats at our side ; but wc j noticed that they were met at the door, j and conducted to a table in a remote end of thc hall. Yet these same people j cry for "equal rights." If the negro I enjoys any rights, it is in thc South, j not in the North. -^-? I On Sunday night a house io Dao ! ville, Va., was discovered to be on fire. j After the flames were subdued the dead i and bleeding body of a negro was found 1 io a room, with blood running from it ; and kerosene poured over it. It bas : since been discovered that W. T. Dod : son, a white man, obtained the body j ostensibly for dissection, placed it in : his bed. saturated it with kerosene, ! stuck a lighted candle so that it would ! fire the oil when it burned out, and ! fled. His plan was to have a heavy in i surancc on bis life recently taken out collected by his family. He says his ! mistake was that he cut the candle so ! long that thc fire did not begin until i daylight. 3?HE BLANCHARD SYNDICATE. A Scheme to Build a Narrow Gauge Railroad From Mount Pleasant to Richmond, Ya ., Via Georgetown, and Another From Georgetown to Cincinnati, Via Lancaster. Mr. Blanchard, a member of the Boston Syndicate which recently sub? scribed $999,500 to the Georgetown, Saut?e and Little River Railroad, was in this city yesterday. He said that he was going to Georgetown to consult with his engineers and collect full in? formation of the two roads which the company proposes to build. He will return here on Tuesday next, and at that time will be able to give fuller in? formation. ?s far as Mr. Blanchard could say yesterday, the general plan of operations is to build aline of railroad from Mount Pleasant to Georgetown and thence, by way of Raleigh, to Rich? mond, and another line from George? town to Lancaster, and thence in an air line to Cincinnati. Both roads will be uarrow gauge roads. The Northern route will be an entirely independent linc to Richmond, and the Western road will connect only with three nar? row gauge roads between Lancaster and Cincinnati. Both routes, he saya, will place Charleston 200 miles nearer New York and Cincinnati, and the object of the syndicate is to open a direct com? munication between the West and the coast and to tap by their Northern road the rich timber and agricultural lands through which it will pass and which now have no outlet. He says the syndicate has a plenty of money to build the roads without out? side assistance, and that the work will begin just as soon as the rights of way are secured. He says that after the work commences, which he thinks will be very shortly, the line of Road from Mount Pleasant to Georgetown and from Georgetown to Lancaster will be completed within four months, as forty five miles be tv. eeo Georgetown and Lan? caster have already been graded. The narrow gauge system is adopted, he says, because the syndicate are satisfied from actual experience that a narrow gauge road can be built over rough coun? try at about 40 per cent, of the cost of building a standard gauge road, and over level country at 60 per cent, of that cost. Furthermore, he says they are equally satisfied that the narrow gauge road can be operated at far less cost for the same amount of work, and will pay j handsomely where the standard gauge would fail to pay expenses. The Southern terminus will be in the city of Charleston, connection with Mount Pleasant being made by double end transfer boats.-Charleston News and Courier, April 26. From Old Virginia.
