COLUMBIA, S. c., July 25.-In the Re-
publican Convention to-day the proceed
ings were harmonious. The Convention
adopted platform substantially the same
as that adopted at Charleston, and in many
respects similar to that of the Radicals of
Tennessee. A "mild confsc alton" was
proposed and voted down. An effort to
fix the name of Radical to the party was
unsuccessful.
A resolution was introduced asserting
that the colored race, on account of its
loyalty, is entitled to have one of their
color for Vice-President of The United
States at the March election. Pending its
discussion the Convention adjourned until
tomorrow.
WI. Armstrong, delegate from Wash
ington to the Convention, addressed the
citizens tonight at o'clock.
SECOND DISPATCH.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 26.-The Repub-
lican State Convention adjourned tonight
after the usual routine of busin ess.
Colored and white officers of State Cen
trail Committee were chosen. A white
member, who disapproved of the platform
of the Convention, resigned, and the
| colored president of the Convention re-
marked that he was glad to accept it, as
they didn't want Judas among them.
Anewsboy named Hanckey was run over
and killed on the South Carolina railroad
this morning near hamburg.

NEGRO ELIGIBILITY.-The truth is, the
Radical party have never yet dared to de-
clare the negro eligible to office. No such
provision is anywhere made in the recon
struction acts, and those acts have been so
frequently reviewed and amended that we
cannot suppose the omission to be acct
dental. Not only in their own section,
but also in their provision for the govern
ment Of the southern States, the Radical
leaders hesitate to commit their party to
this measure.-Lpchb,rg Republican.

RADICALS vs.. DEMocRATs.-In the NEW
York Convention, Wednesday, the ques-
ton was taken on the amendment sepa-
rately. That portion DISTINGUISHING de-
serters and persons who had left the State
to avoid the draft was lost. The portion
DISTINGUISHING those who had voluntarily
engaged in rebellion against the United
States was adopted-53 to 40.
The former being, we suppose, Radicals,
and the latter Democrats.

Wkife Waters.


In July, 1854, Captain Kingman, of the
Shooting Star, sailed throneh a remarkable
patch OF white water, which he thus de-
scribes: Il have seen" he says, "what is CALI
ed white water, in about all the known oceans
and seas in the world, but nothing that could
compare with this in whiteness or extent
Although we were going at the rate of nine
knots, the ship made no noise at either bow
or stern The whole appearance of the ocean
was like plain covered with snow. There
was scarce cloud in the heavens, yet the sky
for about ten degrees above the horizon, ap-
peared as black as if storm was raging
The stars of the first magnitude shone with a
,eeble light, and the Milky Way of the heav-
ems was almost eclipsed by that through
which We were sailing. The scene was one
of awful grandeur; the sea having turned 10
PHOSPHORUS, and the heavens being hung in
blackness, and the stars going out, seemed to
indicate that nature was preparing tor that
grand cont1agration which we are taught to
believe is to annihilate this material world"
The white water extended over twenty
miles, and was divided longitudinaly through
the centre by strip of dark water about halt
mile IN width. Aquantity of the white wa
ter, when put into a tank, appeared to be alive
with luminous worms. These, when caught

SciOns.


Now Is as good time as any to cut scions
for grating in the spring. They should be
taken from the body of the tree, and from up
right branches. II cut from the low, horizon
tai limbs, they will never make top that
points heavenward. The scions should be
twigs of the last years growth, well ripened
and not injured by the severe frosts of win
ter, whereby they may have thus been winter
killed. Much depends upon the health of the
scion; if feeble or halt-ripened, it will not live
to amount to anything. Nor is this all. Scions,
to do well should receive the circulation from
the stock as soon after they are set as possible.
If the weather proves dry, the scion exposed
to the naked sun and wind will, in few days,
become shrivelled, and the sap cannot move
into its veins. 1t needs as wet or moist wea-
ther to set scions into stocks, as it requires for
the successful transplanting of vegetables in
the soil. We have lost more labor in grating
by dry weather afterwards, than by any other
cause.
Scions cut now, before the sap starts, will
keep alive till required for use, and, if proper
ly preserved, may be sent great distances by
mail or otherwise For home use, the best
way is to wrap them in a piece of canvas or
coarse cloth saturated with water and lay them
away in some cool place in the cellar, or they
may be buried in sand out of doors. Some
recommend inserting the butt end in split po-
tatoes, which is not bad plan. This will
preserve the moisture of the bark and prevent
drying up. ~ '',' .lesa

CRrNoLINE IN FRANcE.-A Paris letter to
the London fashion journal called The Queen,
has the following:
For some months past the much-ahused GRIN
ollne has been gradually decreasing in its di-
mensions, and the new form ofskirt has neces-
STATED total change in its form. Cages now
measure round the edge from two wards and
half to two yards and three-ouarters in width;
there are no steels whatever at the TOP, and
above the cage well gored narrow white pet
ticoat is worn, and above this a second white
petticoat, which is deliberately trimmed AS
the fashion for long trains necessitates the fire.
quent exhibition of the petticoat when moving
about room, this second skirt is freouently
ornamented with Valenciennes lace and rich
embroidery. These undergarments prove very
costly; so the more moderate substitute for
those rich decorations trellis-work formed
with fine white braid, and star embroidered
in satin stitch in the center eff every Iozenpe of
the, trelIis-work. This ornament is braided
and embroidered in the flounce eff the pet
ticoat, and is very easily worked. petticoats
for evening wear are made within an inch as
long as the dresses, and it should he horne in
mind that the train of skirt now measures at
the very least three quarters of YARD.

Author of the last Veto.

1t seems, says the Jersey City Times, that
Mr.. Johnson's veto of the Reconstruction bill
was written by Jerry Black, 1t certainly was
appropriate that the man who, as Attorney
General, demonstrated to James Buchanan,
the impossIblity of coercing State in the I'm
ion, should be the chosen instrument of Andy
johnson to prove that Congress cannot COM
pei the rebels to come back into it.
The same paper from which we have quoted
from above expresses the sensible hope that, a.
soon as congress adjourns, the ablest debaters
OF 'he nepuolican party in that body will GO
oou'h anu from Inc rostrum explain to the
misguided people of that section tbe trna Is.
sues before them. Let them understand tbot
Congress is actuated only by desire to sec,,ro

try. If some such course be pursued we ara
atisfied that it will be attended by the happi-
est results.
