OLIVER OIREET, July IL, IOOS.
The society met, and was called to
order by the President, Michael
Werts. The proceedings of the last
meeting were read and adopted.
On motion of w. r. Spearman,
the Neutrality-suspicious. was proposed
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, the National De-
mocratic Convention having unani-
mously nominated the Hon. Horatio
Seymour, of New York, and the
Hon. +. P. Blair, Of Missouri, for
President and President by the
Democracy of the United States, we
cordially endorse tho nomination,
and will heartily give it our support.
Resoloed, That an Executive Com
mittee of five members be appointed
by the President.
The Chair appointed the following
gentlemen: Daniel Goggans, DIR. G.
w. Spearman, J. 3. Werts, DR.. S.
G. Welsh, and W. G.. Peterson. The
Chairman then introduced to the
colored men present, James Minor,
colored, from Columbia. His re-
marks were good, and he, to the
utmost of his ability, endeavored to
persuade end convince them of thcir
error in adhering to the radical party;
that their best friends were the
whites, who had reared and support
ed them, from infancy to old age.
He used such language that they
could easily comprehend him, and
proved to them that, if they expected
to live with tho whito man, they
must act in concert with him. He
was very earnest in his remarks, and
is true Democrat.
John Lee, colored, also from Co.
lumbia, was next introduced to them.
He was quite witty and sarcastic in
his remarks; explained to them the
object of the radical party in making
such great effort to obtain their
votes; and seemed to bo we'll in
formed as to the character of that
party.
The colored men present were so
thoroughly imbued with the ideas of
radicalism, that it is feared but little
impression was made on their minds
An accession of several whites and
one colored was made to the society.

Mr.. EDITOR: Yours of the 10th,
just received, contains in your column
Of local items, list of the Democra-
tic Senators and members of the
House of Representatives, now sit
ting and representing themselves in
the city Of Columbia. But you fail
to note the fact that the Rev. Valen-
tine Young, staunch Democrat, was
elected to the Senate from this Dis
trict, by ans overwhelming radical ma
.jority. For this reason he refuses to
take his seat, and has so published
the fact.
The Rev. r.. NJ. Valentine, too,
see, has taken his seat as Repre-
sentative from this District. He was
worthy free negro Ante BeNum,
and has borne the character of an
honest Democrat "since freedom. -
He, however, was elected by the same
ballots that sent ,Snead Martin and
his coyreres to Columbia. Now, is
not this commentary upon radical
ism and universal suffrage? What
would Horace Greeley think, of q
New York radical voting for Demo
cratic legislator? He would simply
say he had no right to vote. oh
temporu; OIL mOreS. Respectfully,
D. WYATT AIKEN.

The United states 'sonstorshfp fp

The United States Scnstorshfp.
We learn that our editorial re-
marks yesterday, were construed
into an endorsement of T.. A. Saw
yer, one Of the candidates now strug-
Cling to be elected by the Legisla-
ture to the place once filed by
MoDuffie and Calhoun. No such
impression was designed to be con-
veyed. If there be man in the
radical ranks, politically disgusting
to the people of South Carolina, it
is this same Frederick A. Sawyer.
He came to Charleston, from some
place in the North, before the war,
and received and enjoyed the hospi-
talities of the citizens, until the
struggle commenced, in which our
life and liberty were involved. Then,
Judas-ike, he kissed the hands cf
those whom lie betray ed, and showed
the cloyen hoof of double-dyed,
double-distilled radical. One of the
first to recognize negroes as being
thebpolitical equals of himself and
associates, 10 urge their elevation to
placea and power, he now seeks to
foist himself into the halls Of Con
:gress, where, we suppose, he will
play his brief part in what is called
'treconstruction." We hear that
some charges have been made by his
radicel associates, that F.,A. Sawyer
is. "a Democrat. Heaven save the
marktt "a man 80 utterly and ire
trievably lost to every consideration
that binds o white man to his race,
who has not hesitated to publicly
declare that negro is as good as
himself, is beneath any but the most
scathing notice. If he be O. Demo
crat, r. A. Sawyer must go beyond
the confines Of that South Carolina
which he has deceived, to be recog-
nized rs such. The Legislature is
welcome to all such Democrats, {"
and we bid him God-speed in his
associations.

A correspondent of the New Yo7k
Herald furnishes letter from the
island of Juan Fernandez-once the
home of Robinson Crusoe. This
correspondent, who is an old ira
veler, by no means fancies this ia
nous island. The attempts to colo
nize it have all proved abortive, and
nineteen souls now constitute the en-
tire population, and these exc out a
miserable existence by fishing and
hunting, having no bread ofany kind.
and but few vegetables. The island
is mountainous, is covered with tim
ber, and produces few varieties of
fruit; but the the waters abound in
fish of almost every kind. The
charm thrown around Juan Fernan-
dez by DeFoe's narrative of Robin
son Crusoe is rudely dispelled MS we
are made acquainted with the island,
a most uninviting place, certainly,
even for our enterprising country to
settle up, and doubly so, as the resi-
dence of solitary castaway. @

a PRoCnAAIATIoN FROM THE PREsI-
DENT.-In compliance with an Act of
Congress, passed on the 25th of last
month, the President has issued o
proclamation announcing that the
Legislature of North Carolina has
ratified the pending amendment to
the Constitution known as s'article
fourteen. The President makes
reference to his having received the
resolution of the Florida Legislature
ratifying the same, but announces the
fact that it was passed prior to the
Act of Congress mentioned, which
Act is prospective in its bearing.
For this reason, doubtless, the action
of Florida is entirely ignored. The
tenor of the proclamation shows that
Mr.. Johnson is determined not to
recognize the reconstructed States.
He speaks of receiving paper spur
porting to be resolution of the
Legislature of Florida" from "Har-
rison Reed, who therein signs him
self Governor" Again, the other
paper was, he says, transmitted by
and under the name of W. W. Hol-
den, who therein writes himself
Governor of the State of North Ca
rolina;" and so with the other parties
whose signatures are attached. All
of this, the New York Herald thinks,
implies that in his official capacity
the President recognizes neither Mr..
Reed nor Mr.. Holden as Governors
of their respective States.

who nIado tho NominaIions :

In order to produce dissatisfaction
among, the Democrats Of the West,
the Herald, Tines, and Tribune, OF
New York, and many other papers.
ara striving to make it appear that
Tammany Hall controlled the Demo Demo :
cratic National Convention, and
worked the wires so as to secure the
nomination of Horatio Seymour.
Nothing, the Richmond. Dispatch
thinks, could be further from the
truth. The fact is precisely the re-
verse. Tammany Hall and the New
York politicians were outwitted. The
World speaks the truth when it says,
that "the nomination Of Governor
Seymour was, in fact. fairly forced
upon New York, and upon Governor
Seymour himself, by the 'Pendleton
men of the Ohio delegation" The
Commercial Advertiser, one of the
shrewdest newspapers in the country,
understood The real workings of the
Convention. It says:
"WHosE GAME WAS IT?-The
Herald is mistaken as to whose game
has been played and won. It was
Pendleton's, not Seymour's. It is
true, Pendleton did not succeed in
obtaining the nomination for him
self, but in all else, he was absolutely
the dictator Of tho movements of the
Convention.
''The South was victorious in the
selection of candidates. The North
ern rank and file of the party were
extremely desirous for the nomina-
ton of Chase, and many of the
Northern delegates shared in this de-
sire, prompted though it was by fear.
But the Southern wing of the party
again asserted its supremacy. and un-
der the skillful management of the
Pendleton- -Vallandigham manipula-
tors, they foored Chase, Hendricks
and Hancock, and placed Horatio
Seymour upon the platform"
The New York Sun, edited by q
leading radical writer, says:
eve have no doubt that he (Sey-
mour) was perfectly sincere in de-
clining it, and that he really did not
wish for it. The idea that both he
and his friends of the New York
delegation were guilty of duplicity
and trickery, is as absurd as it is un-
just. Governor Seymour was nomi-
mated, not because he and his COL
leagues played a deep game for the
nomination, but because it had be-
come plain that there was no other
man in the party who could so ap-
propriately as himself be selected as
the standard d-bearer of the Demo
cracy."
The New York Citizen says:
"We say emphatically that Chase's
rejection by the late Convention was
not thing of sound or calm judg-
ment, but was thing of strategy,
organized and carried out by men
personally devoted to the fortunes of
Mr.. Pendleton, of Ohio, and there
fore resolved to kill Mr.. Chase, who
hailed from the same State, and
whose nomination would, therefore,
kill Mr.. Pendleton's chances for the
next eight or twelve years, under
Democratic ruling"
The Citizen is not mistaken as to
the fact that Tammany Hall had
nothing to do with the nomination.
The Heruld's story is absurd. It is a
sort of metropolitan brag game.

A CHEAP Ice PITCHER. Tho fol-

batting about half an inch in thick
ness; fasten the ends of paper and
batting together, forming n circle
then sew crown over one end, max
ing n box the shape of stove-pipe

an ordinary pitcher filed with ice
water, making it deep enough to rest
on the table, SO rs to exclude the air,

tho length of time this ice will keep
and the water remain cold after the
ice is melted.

TERRIBLE STORM IN VIRGINIA. =
Tazewell and adjacent Counties were
visited by n terrible storm few days
ago. The hail, in some places, laid
two or three feet deep on the ground.
A correspondent says: "Not far from

fell; a citizen, living in the ravine
below the spout, lost his wife and
child in q most shocking manner.
She saw the terrible tide rushing
upon her house; she threw the chill
dren upon n bed, ran after small
boy outside, and rs she entered the
door with the child, the tide entered
the upper door with large tree;
this struck the woman with great
force, carrying her and tho child
away with the logs and trees. There
being two houses, one giving way,
turned the current of water, which
saved the other house and the other
children, after moving the house

was found one mile below her house,
severed in twain-one leg was not
found. The child was perfect

The STATE OF AFFAIRS IN JAPAN

The STATE OF AFFAIRS IN JAPAN.-
The latest telegraphic news from
Japan has been fully confirmed by
the letter of the special correspond
ent of the Herald, in Yokohama.
The cause of the Mikado party is
for tho present in the ascendant.
The cause of the Tycoon is not, how
ever, altogether hopeless. He rep
resents the party. of action and of
progress-a party which must ulti-
mately win. The people are with
the Tycoon, the mobiles are dividing
In his favor, and, strange to say,
even religion is lending its help to
the cause Of progress. The High
Priest OF Kioto, the Pope of japan,
has condemned the secular tendencies
OF the Mikado. According to the
High Priest, the province of the
Mikado is spiritual, not temporal.
His assumption of temporal power is
at once derogatory to his dignity and
dangerously revolutionary IN it's ten
dency. The presumption is that q
reaction will set in in favor of tbe
Tycoon. Still there is but small
chance that the SORROWS of Japan will
soon be ended.
