~-The Charleston Nf1cs, in response to
an Outcry on the part of the New York Day
Book, against the Charleston Hotels that pro-
pose to charge SIS per day to delegates and
visitors to the democratic national Conven-
ton, makes reasonable defence; the chief
points OF which are the expense which land
lords will necessarily incur in preparing to
occomodate a greater number OF guests than
they have room for, and the enhanced prices
of all kinds of provisions. The Charleston
Hotel was built to accommodate three hundred
persods-it will be fitted to afford comfortable
'bed and board' for one thousand So with
other hotels. They must charge high To save
themselves from loss. The Netes scorns the
idea of delegates or visitors being entitled to
the hospitalities of the citizens Of Charleston;
upon this point il talks as saucily as an
offended aristocrat. Hear it-"What has her
priv ate Inequalities to do with such a case
an Eruption upon her of an immense horde
of men, inteu. on their own selfish ends aud
Indifferent alike to her people, their senti-
ments and interestsI Aud thousands OF
them, too. of such character aud manners
that II they were TO come here, individually.
again and again, il would never be thought
OF by respectable man Of our city, to admit
any of them within bis doors. During the
presence of that promiscuous crowd, the pri-
vate doors of Charleston will never have
been so tightly shut aud CAREFULLY guarded as
then. She will confer more tratotisg than
hospitality upon the camp followers who
have come TO swarm at the assembling of a
National Convention" We suspect there
are none SO dull they will no. understand
that. The Immense horde OF men" who
attend the Convention, may do to select cand-
dates to dill The highest Offices OF the nation
and gentlemen may eondescend to vote for
the candidates selected by them-Sut they
are unworthy OF the private hospitality of
Charleston, whose doors will be -tightly
shut" and carefully guarded against them.
