Cali for a Democratic Meeting.


We find the notice appended in
the Charleston Mercury and ;Cou-
rier. It will be seen that the Edge
field resolutions simply called for
conference:
"The undersigned unite in a call
for meeting of the Democratic
party of Charleston District, to be
held on Saturday evening, Odd inst,
at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of con-
sideriDg response to the invitation
of the Democracy of Edgefield Dis
trict, to meet in Convention in Co.
lumbia, and nominate delegates to
the National Dem ocratic Convention.
to be held in New York on the 4th of
July"
"a list with the caption above has
been left at this Office for signatures.
the object or the meeting is one of
paramount interest to every one who
cares for the welfare of the country.
We have remained too long inert and
voiceless. Charleston must express
herself. We earnestly invite every
one who is in sympathy with the
Democratic party to sign the call,
and to attend the meeting Let it
not be said that at such time rs this
the Democracy of Charleston stands
aloof. Our fellow-citizens of Edge
field have taken position and call
upon the State to respond. We can
not be silent"
We publish below the resolutions
of the Executive Committee of Edge
field:
ResolueH, That meeting of the
Democratic party of Edgefeld Dis
trict be called on the first Monday in
June next, to consider the various
questions of vital interest affecting

Grant and Colfax.

Our readers have noticed that
these men have been nominated for
President and Vice. e-President on the
radical ticket. They may be regard
ed as the nominees of extreme Re-
publicans. 1t was fit and natural that
Grant should be selected as the stand
ard-bearer of that party. Feeling
that theirs is sinking cause, they
imagine that Grants military pres
tige is essential to give them success.
Again, rs man who has labored to
supplant his military superior, and
even to secure his impeachment and
removal from Office, such o man was
q fit candidate for q party that has
trampled on the Constitution, and in
its policy, set aside all laws, both hu-
man and divine. But even Grant
will not serve the radical party. That
party is doomed. The Democracy
will elect their candidate, and the
fate of Grant will be that of Winfield
Scott. The North is beginning to
understand what radicalism, success
full in the next Presidential canvass,
means. They are beginning to find
out that it means military despotism
of the West Point school. Grant seeks
to be q Cpsar-and worse than he of
Rome-for of all Caesars, save us from
radical one. But he will fail-as
we hope and believe.

Political Movement Brewing.

Political Movement Brewing.
We are disposed to think that there
is some foundation for the rumor
which comes to us, of movement on
foot to form third party in the
country. 1t is certain, that the mo-
derate Republicans, headed by Chief
Justice Chase and William Pitt Fes-
senden, will have to abandon the
ranks of the extreme radicals, of
which the modest Wade, and the
mild Logan, and the chaste Butler
are fit exponents. If these moderate
Republicans were not disposed to
give up the radical crew who have
gone SO far ahead of them in their
destructive measures, the probability
is, that they would be driven forth.
The Tribune has been assailing these
men, who voted to ncquit the Presi-
dent on article eleventh, with force
ness of long-bottled wrath. The
breach in the radical ranks is COM
plete, and foreshadows the breaking
up of the party. The fact is, the
time for the radical party to die has
come. Organized to abolish slavery,
that being an accomplished and ad-
mitted fact, the party is now kept to-
gether only by the cohesive force OF
the public plunder. Hence. disii.te-
grafton is easy to begin, and once be-
gun, it will go on rapidly. Plank
after plank will give way. Rope after
rope will break. Spar after spar will
fall. Man atter man will leave the
ship, until the pirate bark goes down,
and the waters close over once pow
erful vessel, which, after long ca
reer of plunder and iniquity, was
doomed by Heaven to sink beneath
the weight of its own enormous cor
ruption.
But, need Messrs. Chase, Fessen-
den & Co. seek third party? We
suggest not. Let them enlist under
the flag of the National mocracy,
and they will then be enabled to en-
JOY the advantages of a party already
organized, in pretty good discipline,
ardent, and eagor for the political
fray.

ton, engaged in the institution and
management of the late soiree for the
benefit of the Church, beg leave to
tender their sincere thanks to Major
Thomas Davis, for the use of his
handsome hall, and to Mr.. Clark
Waring, for furnishing the necessary
labor and personally supervising its
graceful decorations; also to Mr.. Selby,
editor of the Phenis, for many kind
notices in his paper commencing the
entertainment to public favor; to
Captain w. B. Stanley, President of
the Gas Company, for throwing so
much valuable light on the interest
ing occasion and supplying needf.l
articles of crockeryware; to Messrs.
Gregg & Co., for similar kindness
to this last; to Master Carri, the
youthful vioinist, whose brilliant
execution of several difficult pieces
elected the wonder and enthusiastic
applause Of the audience; to the
principal soprano, whose cultivated
taste, charming notes and happy
manner of expressing them afforded
universal delight; to the accom-
plished baritone, bass and tenor, and
other ladies and gentlemen, whose
admirable musical performances,
both vocal and instrumental, consti-
tuted large part Of the pleasures of
each evening; to the generous friends
of their own and other religious
communions, here and elsewhere, for
the abundant contributions of choice
and delicious refreshments; aud
without diminishing aught of appre-
citation of any of these) to Mrs. Nc
ken@ie, particularly, for gifts entitled
to special consideration; to the CO.
lored assistants and attendants, whose
acceptable Offices throughout were
rendered with cheerfulness and as-
siduity; to those members of the
community, generally, whose liberal
patronage resulted in q success be-
yond the most hopeful expectations;
to Mr.. @. L. Harrison. who, though
suffering from indisposition, and
under circumstances of inconve-
nience, acted, ut the close of the
soiree, rs auctioneer in the disposal
OF the things remaining on hand.
In fine, to one and all, the ladies Of
Trinity Church repeat tho offer of
their grateful acknowledgements, and
trust that the entire affair will be n
matter OF pleasing remembrance to
the large nssemb!age that participated
in it.

Gates his full Identification with the

ness of either Mr.. Pendleton, Mr.. Sey-
mour, Mr.. Hendricks or Mr.. Doolit-
tie for the Presidential office. The

fully recognized by Mr.. Pierce. He
hopes that everything possible may
be done to ''arrest the surge of Con-
stitution-defying radicalism, and to
restore fraternity end peace, unity
and prosperity to the republic" His
letter closes with suggestion that
minor issues be discarded in the
Forthcoming Convention of the De-
mocratic party-that harmony pre-
vail, and the great work be to rescue
the country from the grasp of an
insane radicalism,

MURDERoUs CONSPIRACY. One of
the most horrible conspirncies Of mo-
dern times had its denouement in
Indiana, last week. Seven men had
entered into n written conspiracy to
wreck aud rob the pay train on the
Jeffersonville Railroad. The particu-
lars are as follows:
A written agreement was drawn up,
setting forth the plan of the robbery.
This plan contemplated the throwing
of the pay train from the track at u
point some ten miles out from Jeffer-
sonville, the murder, if necessary, of
those upon the train, and the rob-
berry of the paymaster's safe of its
contents, which it was thought would
be from twenty-five to thirty thou
sand dollars.
The article of agreement was Of
the most terrible character. 1t bound
each conspirator to commit murder
rs well as robbery. 1t also stipulated
that if any of the conspirntors were
wounded in the affair so as to be I'M
able to get away, his companions
were to kill him, and thus put it out
of his power to inform against them.
1t was also agreed, that if there
were more than the usual number of
persons with the train, that the con-
spirators were to fire upon and kill
them just as the train was reaching
the place where it was to be wrecked.
The details of the whole affair were
set forth in the most concise and dis
tinct manner, and the spoils were
duly apportioned in advance.
One of the conspirators became
frightened at the contemplated crime,
and gave information which led to
the arrest of all but two Of the guilty
parties, and wholesale murder and
robbery was thus prevented.

Statement from tho State Central
Executive Committee.

0tbtehNohC ATOM tho Stote OentroA
Executive Committee.
We have been requested by the
State Csn:rs! Committee &c state, that
inasmuch rs they are the officers of
the late Convention, they do not re-
gard it as their duty to call any other
Convention. If the dissentients de-
sire q new Convention, let them call
it. These gentlemen are citizens Of
the State, and have the same rights
that all others citizens have If it is
supposed that the late Convention
did not represent the sentiments of
the people of the State, then let them
try that sentiment, and they will
then, we trust, be satisfied; they will
then, we trust, unite cordially with
the people, and not diSunite them by
groundless complaints. It may be
that these gentlemen are correct, but
we are prepared to abide the issue
and the trial. Our advice now to
South Carolina is expressed in one
word, UNITY UNITY |! UNITY II!
and not dicision at home among our
own people. This is no time to di-
vide, but it is the time to act har-
moniously, for the best interest of
our grand old State, humiliated as
she is, and sitting in her garments of
woe, weeping for her children and
asking to be comforted.

Cross and Crescent.

The moro we reflect upon the
Sultnn's remarkable announcement
at opening his new Council, the more
significant it becomes. For the Porte
to give utterance to n speech whose
most distinguishing feature was its
''liberality, is marvel. But it is
not SO much exactly what was said,
as the spirit which seems to have
animated the address, that is start
ling and suggestive. And hence it
is, that if by mail advices we find it
hereafter more cautious and diploma
tic than the cable represents, still the
single declaration that "the time had
come when Turkish manners must
yield to European civilization" is
the great one. This is the grand
avowal, wrung out of the ruler Of the
Ottoman Empire by hard necessity;
this is that ''first step that costs"
The suggestiveness of this utter
ance, however, is not simply in the
vista Of new and perhaps noble
future which it opens for Turkey
itself-a country geographically so
fortunate as to be equal to any destiny
but in the possibility it breaches
Of pacific settlement of somo por-
tion of the Eastern question through
the gradual action and influence of
the Sublime Porte itself. If this
utterance of the Sultan be sincere,
and be followed by practical results,
it means the solution of Mt least one
equation in the Eastern problem.
With tho spread of Western ideas,
under the patronage of tho Sultan
himself, the strife between cross and
crescent will be over.
The Turk, before the age Of steam
and quick travel, was mere incubus
to Europe, nuisance to the nine
teenth century. Long before Russia
announced that the man on the
Bosphorus was "sick man." his
mnlndy bad been observed every
where. While new inventions wero
revolutionizing tho West of Europe,
and even Eastern Asia, Turkey
clung to its old-time ideas and habits
with fierce Mohammedan temerity.
But ut length "the Turk awoke."
Modern intercourse, the resistless
influence of foreign travel, and of
that free nter-communication be-
tween lands which steam has de-
veloped, have wrought wonders.
This speech may be pronounced.
perhaps, the fruit of that seed sown,
the other day, when Abdul Aziz
iourneyed through France ard Eng
land. 1t was step unparalleled for
the Defender of the Faithful to leave
his own domains, Qetting the faith
full defend themselves the best they
could, so rs to eat salt at the tables
of the descendants of Lonis TX and
Richard, the Lion hearted. That he
came back imbued with the spirit of
Western civilization, will not sur
prise his people. But it will be ono
Of the marked triumphs of modern
civilization. il Turkey, regenerated
and filled with new blood, takes her
rank among leading nations. The
revolution in the policy of Austria
is not moro remarkable and sugges-
tive. Instead OF waiting for the sick
man to die, we must be prepared to
see him arise. take mp his bed and

The South Carolina Recorstruction
Scandal.

The Constitution framed for South
Carolina by the Congo Convention is
q beautiful piece of political me-
chanism. Paupers have heretofore
been always and everywhere very
properly excluded from the elective
franchise, but by this instrument the
pauper population is made the voting
power of the commonwealth. Pro-
perty-holders and tax payers are
either disfranchised or placed in such
hopeless minority that they are
voiceless in the Government, while
the negroes vote without fear OF chal-
lenge for every office, and by their
overwhelming majorities carry with
ease every election. The capitation
and dog tax are the only two for
which the negro would be liable, but
MS he has no property for the sheriff
to attach, there is no way to enforce
payment except by making default
bar to the ballot. And 80 it was Mt
first arranged--but foresceirg the
effect of such provision in reducing
the negro vote, the Convention
amended by ordering that no one
should forfeit his right to vote by
reason of failure to pay the said tax
And this specific tax per capitum is
to be applied to the support of ne
gro schools-schools in which the
white population cannot participate,
in which they have no interest, and
over which they have no supervision
or control, and yet which they alone
will be required to support. To-
wards this fund the negro voter is
not obliged to contribute one cent,
although ho will be, under his party
leaders, invested with the exclusive
control of Its disbursement. The
honest and unbought white men of the
State. including, with scarcely an ex-
ception AL the original Union men, arc
excluded either by legislation or in
trigue from tho ballot and from
holding office, and are forced by tho
bnyonot to submit to any and all tho
exceptions which an irresponsible
mongrel convention and Legislature
may impose upon them. And this
in the land of liberty and under the
stars and stripes? Can tho Com of
the Sea, the misgoverned and unhap-
py Emerald lsle, present anything
worse than this in MI her sad history
OF grievous wrongs?
South Carolina, under such recon
struction, is eminently worthy (?) an
early admission into full fellowship
with the noble States of the North.
With radical Bureau Commissioner
Scott as Governor, by League mani
pulations and negro votes; with q
negro Legislature; with the notorious
ex-rebel Bowen to represent its mo-
tropolis in Congress, and all its
offices filed by negroes or renegade
whites, who would not be intrusted
in any decent community North with
any position requiring moral probity
OF character, her sttar is ready to be
added to the flag, but it is black star
in the cluster, and should SO appear.
And this is radicalism!
