Tue County Convention.
On the 8th dny. of next month our
county convention will assemble. By
it will bo nominated five members of
tho legislature. Wo hope that the honest
peoplo of both political parties will turn
out to the precinct meetings. Honest men
can there be certain to exercise a powerful
influence, for the masses of all parties arc
desirous above all to have an sconomieal
and good government. More than this, the
voters should let the dclegitcs, when elected,
know that they will not only watch them
with a jealous eye, but tlmt they reserve
the right of revision over their political
action; and if bad and untrustworthy men
are put forward, that they will refuse to
ratify such a choice. Above all, if a man
has made a record, scrutinize it. We hear
of schemes and combinations to return men
to positions who have already disgraced
them ones. Let no such men be trusted.
????-' -?
The Next Legislature.
The campaign advances. The republican
party hns made its nominations for the
office of governor and lieutenant governor.
It proceeds to its more import ant work, the
nomination of candidates for tho legislature
and county offices. We fay its more impor
tant work. It maitcra not who is governor
or lieutenant-governor of this State, the
legislature is the beginning and end of re
form. The majority in the legislature has
been over two-thirds heretofore, over-riding,
neutralizing, laughing tlie executive veto to
ecorn. Such a majority, unless composed
of the very best and purest men, is fatal to
the interests of the S'atc. Wo would like
to 8C0 every member of the legislature n ro
publican, and every man of them honest and
incorruptible And, as the next best thing,
we would like to sec a strong minority.
Wo do not mean to say that wherever a re
publican can be elected in n democratic
county because of bis personal character or
intrinsic worth jwc would prefer to see a
democrat. By no means. Wo want to see
every democratic county carried by repub
licans if it can be dono honc'ly and right
fully. If we have a legislature four-fifths
republican, and wc succeed in reform, then
the honor will belong to us, and to us alone.
The opposition will not bs able to say that/
"it was our minority that sustained the
governor, not your corrupt majority."
What wo want, and must have, is reform
from tho roof to the cellar. Wc cannot
have this without a good legislature, and wc
mean what wo say. County sln'.C3 mny be
manufactured to order, but no ticket in anj
county must have a republican candidate
upon it whoso record is one that the party
cannot afford to carry. J
Wo havo been loaded down in the past,
and wc ennnot carry such impediments in
this campaign. Wc arc marching now un
der tho oyos of tho whole American people
and wo cannot afford to have the wholo col
umn halted, every now and then, while this
man and tho other man is picked out of our
ranks as an cpaulcttcd scoundrel at largo.
Look to our county ticket.

The National Republican on
the Bolting Fizzle.
THE CLOVEN FOOT VERY PLAIN. .
TBE BOLT A DEMOCRATIC FAIL URE.
[From tho National Republican, editorial.]
Wo have received a letter dated at Colum
bia, S. O, and signed by Thomas C. Dunn,
"chairman executive committee independent
republican party-," whioh informs us that a
convention of the "honest republicans of
that State will be held at Charleston on th c
2d of October," and further, "that t ho exe
cutive committee of tho tax-payers' union
promises (the honest republicans aforesaid)
their hearty support and co-operation.'
This isnotlbc first instance within our know
ledge in which designing politieans hnvo
donned the livery of their betters for the
purpose of serving the devil, nor is it tb o
fii'Bt instance wc have known in which the
sheep's clothing was too short to cover the
tail of the wolf underneath it. If Mr. Dunn
had emmitted the remark that Iiis schenio is
sustained by the tax-payers' union, he would
have been more discreet as a in mager than
his letter proves him to be. Thai remark
shows the cloven font so plainly that it will
serve to put truly honest republicans on
their guard, and to confirm the suspicion al
ready aroused that the bolters' movement
in South Carolina is really a wovomsnt in
tho interest of the Democratic ku klux.
The truth is that the persons who origina
ted, and who nro now supporting it with
the aid of tho tax unions, are not entitle I t o
recognition as public loadors, or men who
nro capable of reflect tug the serious thought
of the party. They are, one and all, cither
disappointed office seekers, o.* nun who are I
willing to sacrifice principle to nmbitiou.
Take Congressman Hausier, for instance.
No one doubts his republicanism, although
his strength as a leader has been weakened
by certain indiscretions in tho way of co
quetting with the enemies of the truf faith ;
but it is known that lie was a candidate in
the late convention for the nomination of
lieutenant-governor, and, failing to succeed
in that, became n candidate for re nomina
tion for congress. Being defeated in all
bis aspirations, ho so far forgot the allegi
ance he owes to a party which has repeated
ly honored him as to join its enetnios and
give his name to the aid of the bolters'
movement, lie is. in fact, a representative
man of the combination of men with which
he is so unfortunately associated. They are
all actuated either by similar motives, or, as
wc have intimated are willing to sell them
selves to the opposition.
For years past there lias been a divisi on
in the party after each State convention,
led by disappointed aspirants, as this one
is being led; but never before has tho nomi
nation of any candidate been receive 1 with
such general approval as that of Mr. Cham
berlain. In Charleston County, for example,
with the exception of Mr. Riinstov, tho loa
dors of the party are almost a unit in his
support, and it is confidently prediclel that
be will receive 10,090 majority in that coun
ty alone. Judge Green, his probable op
ponent, is perhaps entitled to consideration
ns a man whose record is pure and spotless,
and with the exception of his present atti
tude as a sympathizer with the bolters, has
proved himself to be a trust-worthy and re
Bpcctablo republican. But the fact that he
lias declared himself to be in favor of the
civil rights bill, will arouse the opposition
of the democracy, and thereby strengthen
Mr. Chamberlain's chances. It is true that
the latter J? u "carpel-bagger"---a fact
which renders him liable to ostracism by
the so-called gentleman's party?but he will
nevertheless be abb? to hold his own with
the masses of tho republican party. If he
bad gone to Kansas instead of South Caro
lina, he would have been free from the stig
ma of carpet-bngisth, and would have been
recognized as a public-spirited citizen. But
as it is, be will receive more support 'from
the native element, in a negative {way per
haps, than will be accorded to Judge Greene.
The Holt in 1872?The Farce of I
1S71.
The first was led by Judgo Orr, at the
(Special instance of President Grnnt, and
had the countenance of United Staats Sena
tor Sawyer, United States District Attorney
Corbin, United States Collector of tho Cus
tomhouse Clarke. It was supported by
Sheriff Bowen, Senator Whi'tcmorc, Sena
tor Dunn, and several Republican newspa
pers?among the whites?and by Whippor,
Ilnyno, Roberts, and many other colored
men. It was beaten with all their assis
tance.
[ This time the farce cannot bo called a
bolt. Senator Dunn was the only man in
/the Republican Convention who declined to
participate in the actions of the Convention
after the nomination qf Chamberlain. Wo
honor him for it, and believe ho w6uld vote"
for a good man in preference to going back
to Chamberlain.

the farce make the thing ridiculous by un

Governor Smith suhl:
Mutant orators arc firing tho Southern
heart witti heroic threats of what they could
and would do. Somo oftheso are threaten
ing to do now w hat tlioy tailed to do when
they hud a chance. These doughty warriors
who aro eo keen to fight now, and did so
iiillc fight'ng when tho time for fighting was
nt hum), remind uio of a sceno I witnessed
onoein North Caro'ina. I was stopping at
a little road-side inn, kept by a clover old
Dutch lady. She lind a little bar attached,
and sold liquors. Well, I was sitting in
her bar, when there came in a co uplo of
men, seemingly much excited, and a great,
burly fellow culled tho other Bomo oppro
brious name, when ho caught him by the
nose, and gave it u good pull, saying, "Re
sent it, if you dare, you scoundrel, you !"
The other very quietly submitted until his
torm.ntor loosed his nose and left the room
in ili^ust. After ho had been gone some
ten or fifteen minutes, the other began walk
ing the room in high dudgeon, twisting his
hands and shaking bis lien I with all tho fu
ry of a mud bull, and soon he begun to runt
with his mouth, und swore that he coidd
and would whip the infernal scoundrel for
(renting him so. At this the good old lady
rose up and cried out in all her womaniy
f tuliguation. "Veil, vy d? tn't you fight de
mons von he vus here. Yy you get mud
now ?"
Let nie (ell you my friends, those of you
who have smelt blood, there is no fun in
lighting. It is u dangerous, a destructive
and sad resort. I tell you frankly thai I
am not anxious to ever engage in another.
There is nothing to he gnitid by it, nothing
can be accomplished by force, und no sobe
sensible, prudent man, who regards tho in
terest of the State and his people, would
counsel it. It is all tho dictates of bad
whisky?the counsel of General Dad Whisky .
We :;u;r-t not 1)0 led into trouble l>y it. We
cannot afford to trifle with the destinies of
our people. Wo can gain nothing by a
resort to arms, and everything by preserv

/*> Taxpayers Convention.
No doubt this body would have willingly
supported Judge Green hud he been the
choice of the Republican Convent ion. There
would thee have been no exciting oampaign,
and Judge Green being elected by the whole
people would have been un Iramclcd io act
in tho interest of tho whole State. The
State Tux Union s.iiil this miioh, an \ tM*
people would havo acquiesced in Iliclr re
presentation. Hut th y never gold they
would support Judge Green as the cand'
date of a faction of the Republican parly,
und undertake a hotly contested campaign
to put u Civil Rights, Moses, Hod-hot Jones
man in ofliee. If they have to go into a
light, I hey will fight un lor their own colors,
with a man us much if not more likely to
win than this Green-eyed monster.
How many Republicans will Green get
more than Kershaw ? \\ ill lie get us many"'
It is very doubtful. If Judge Green rises
now above the party he has been co-operat
ing with for six years und isneluate I by pa
triotism, let him show it by taking his- place
in ranks, rather than undertaking to pull
down the Kershaw flag and leading againsl
his party an opposition of men who are in
no way identified with him. Orr, Toinlin
son, Sawyer and Corbiu, backed by Grant
in IST'J, undertook this folly, and the same
clique of Charleston counseled no interfer
ence by running a third man, but the peo
ple would have none of the unclean thing,
and spewed it out of their mouths when
rumiicd down their throats by these obi
leaders. When we see Moses, [ted-hot
Jones, the Representative Journal und o her
Radicals of a lesser light bucking up against
Graut und trying lite same gimo which Orr
and his men tried, ihoy turn the e* imalu of
the dead into a farce. Some want to be
bought off?pevhaps have already made the
bargain?and others, like Green, led by an
over vaulting ambition, nro blinded by per
sonal interest. Docs any one doubt, that
Judge Green would not like to bo in
Mr. Chamberlain's | luce, and have the reg
ular nomination of tho Radical party ?
Could any man have sacrificed his personal
feelings as much as he did ill his dcuiagogu
ism concerning the Civil Rights Rill, with
r.ut being willing to take any other party
test which might he applied to him ? Shoo

The Death of Mr. P. ? Mc
Kenzie.
It is litre that the newspaper, in its daily
reports of the accidents and incidents of
our community, Iris to chrouiolo a more
melancholy tifi'air than the death ofthis
promising young man. The deceased wes
tho sou of our esteemed fellow citizen, John
McKenzie, Esq., formerly mayor of our
city, and now one of our most prosperous
merchants. Early yesterday morning tho
community was shocked by the report, tint
voting McKenzie was found lying in tho
neighborhood of an oil brick-yard, near
the river, with a pistol ball through his
brain, and his hand (on a revolver, which
was lying across his body. This rumor
proved too sully "true, as he had evidently
been dead some time, with tho wound
through his temple. The body was first
discovered by "a little colored hoy, about ?
o'clock. It was lying on the side of a bank,
about ten feet from the road, a hundred
yards from the old Confederate powder
factory, about a mile from town. The boy
called to a colored man, named Ren Sight
ler, who, upon approaching the body, was
barked at by the dog belonging to the
deceased. 'The dog refused to let him touch
the 'body. Even after the jury arrived, tho
dog repelled every one until Mr. McKenzie,
tho father, came, whom he sprang to meet
with evident joy, (duit soon ralurncd to his
dead master. The. body was quite sitT when
found, and h id evidently been dead some
hours.
The jury Irought in tho verdict as
follows: '-That the decease came to Iiis
death from a pistol shot wound through the
right temple, evidently inflicted by his own
hnml."
Much doubt is expressed as to tho correct
ness of the verdict of tho jury, many believ
ing that the young man was decoyed to the
spot and killed, or hud been carried thcro
after death.
The deceased was twenty-six years of
ago. He had served in the Confederate
army, and was wounded at (.'hancellorsvillo.
