The Davenport Democrat grleves
terribly over the fact that a large
number of the leaders In the Repub-
lican party to-day were once Demo-
Gratis. 1t seems to forget that the
party was once worthy of the name
being then composed of honest men.
So long as the party maintain the
principles they do now, the same
cause for grieving will continue.

"A duel took place in New Orleans lately
between two Creoles, which is described as
very desperate encounter. The weapons used
were French navy broad swords whetted up
to kcennass. The parties werc experts, sec
onlcd by equally good swordsmen. The COM
bat lasted q few minutes only, when one con-
.-stant received Gu: over the right temple
and the other serious wound in the left wrist
in his successful cndeavor to ward OIL a
deadly blow of his adversary aimed at his abb
dorac.:. The combat was then arrested, and
the wounded parties received attention OF
their physicians. The floor upon which this
desperate duel took place was literally covered
with blood. which flowed in great proiuslon
from the wounds OF both combatants. The
cause of the duel was of personal character
and for a wonder no lady was connected with
the affair.

CHI A R L E. S TON.
MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 80, 1868
The Proposed Convention.

It is proposed to hold convention at
Columbia on Thursday next TO consider, it
is presumed, what is necessary to be done
for the well-being of the State and tho
avoiding of the manifold dangers with
which this people is threatened. This
proposition, however, is open to the grave
objection that, if held at the time sugges-
ted, it cannot represent, in the true sense
of representation, the feelings, determine
tions and desires of the citizens of South
Carolina. No sufficient time has been al
lowed or warning given, and if the con-
vention be held on Thursday it cannot rea-
sonably include delegates from this district
or from many other districts in the State.
The convention, whenever held, should
be composed of delegates chosen delibe-
rately by the people of each district, and
who are fully acquainted with the wishes
and intentions of their constituents. 1t
should be above mere party names, and,
while avoiding those irritating questions in
which there is more of idea than Of fact,
should so behave as to retain the confidence
of the whole State and secure the hearty
cooperation of every conservative man
within our borders. This is necessary be-
cause only a united and persistent action, in
well defined manner and direction, can
work any lasting benefit or give to right
any substantial protection.
This is no time for rash or hasty meas
ures,-for thinking once and acting twice,
for the scheming of disappointed politicians,
for the dogmatism of hereditary malcon-
tents, for the clamor of those whose peace
is war eternal. 1t is time, on the con-
trary, when the people may, and should,
take counsel together, when they may meet
to consider where lies the division between
custom and principle. 1t is time, above
all, when the people should be sober, pru-
dent and just, behaving in all things with
o dignity, forbearance and calmness
worthy of them and their cause.

the Presidents Fate.

The preliminary moves in the matter of
impeachment have been completed and to-
day the trial of the President will begin in
earnest The result is not doubtful, nor
will it be long delayed. 1t is predeter-
miued fact that the President is to be
thrust out of Office and BEN WADE
thrust in. Nor is this all. Under the WADE
regime, it is authoritativcly announced, the
number Judges in the Supreme Court will
be raised to thirteen, thus relieving the
Radical mind for the future of all appre-
hension in regard to that adverse majority
which has haunted it for months past. The
remedy is certainly simple, and will un-
questionably prove effectual, but how the
country will regard this method Of "stack-
ing" the highest tribunal in the land is
hardly matter of doubt. Measures like
these can but hasten the retribution, GER
tain though long deferred, which awaits the
party and its leaders, who are now in power.

The National Finances.

While the Radicals seem to have matters,
politically, all their own way at Washing
ton, the more far-seeing among them are
showing unmistakable symptoms of alarm
at the plight to which their party policy
has already brought the finances of the
country. The demagogues who rule upon
the floors of Congress, having in view the
coming Presidential election, seek by every
expedient, and at whatever cost, to make
political. capital for themselves by tempora-
r elieving the people from taxation.
Secretary McCsLLocH has vainly remon-
strated against these time-serving measures,
although his views are sustained by some of
the shrewdest of the Republicans. Senator
MORRILL,, who was, it will be remembered,
the Chairman of the House Committee on
Ways and Means during the war, regards
Mr.. SHERMAN's exhibit that the deficit will
not be over SIC, 900, 900 at the close of the
fiscal year 1SGS.69, as fallacous To bring
it down to that, Mr.. SHERM N has estimated
the receipts from the whiskey tax at $780,
100000, and has placed the receipts from
incomes at an equally high figure, nor has
he taken into calculation an annual increase
of the public debt for several years to come
in consequence of subsidies to railroads. 81
say remarked Mr.. MORRILL,, sand l am
willing to have it put upon the record, that
the deficit, instead ofbeing $4,000, 900 will
be more than S4O,COO.OOO.." This is al en-
phatic declaration, but the senator from
Vermont is practical business man, and
his statement was indorsed by Mr. FEssEN-
DEN, who believes that the deficiency will
be even greater. '.Then," continued Mr..
FEssESDEN, swe shall have TO 60 into the
market to borrow money, and to 60 there
under very beautiful state of circumstan-
ces, too, with large portion Of the men,
bers OF Congress talking about re! udiation
as matter of fact. Mr.. .WAsnBURNE, Of
Illinois, Chairman of the House Committee
on Appropriations, is equally pointed in
his warnings against reducing taxations,
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-03-30

but increasing appropriations. "Your rev.
enues," said he, ''will not be enough to
meet your expenses. The country will be
bankrupted, dishonored, disgraced. Yet
the Republican Party is responsible to the
country for the legislation of this Congress,
and the country will hold US to that respon-
sibility."
These admonit. ons, however, are all un-
needed, and the people at large cannot be
expected to complain of any law that gives
them, even for time, some little relief
from the load of taxation that is now
crushing them and their industries to the
ground.

RQDUNDA ISLAND GUANO.
Pure. Unmi1ed, Natural Guano. as
Fine as Flour (although not Ground),
just I'm tho Condition In which 1t Is
Imported from the Island.

TlHIs GUANO IS FROM RECENTLY DIS
i COVERED deposit on Rodurda Island, In the
Caribbean Sea, West Indies, latitude 16 degrees 66
minutes north, longitude 50 degrees % minutes
west
It has been used for many years in the West India
Islands in the utvaton OF Sugar Cane and cereals
with great success; was introduced for the first time
to the farmers and planters Of the United States In
the spring Of 1866. and has met with unprecedented
success the suboned reports and testimonials full
ly corroborate
phate, requiring the action of he Sulphuric Acid to
render It soluble; Its great power as fertilizer is IN
Its entire solublty without the aid OF acid. It Is
not o manipulation" or Compound Of Fish or Flesh
with Mineral Phosphatea the regularity Of which Is
always uncertain and dependent upon, and control-
ed by the honesty Of the manufacturer. The RO-
DUNDAts PURE NATURAL GUANO that term
being understood tomean the e1cremeut Of fsh-eat-
ing birdsl as the large per centase Of organic mat
ter sufficiently attest5 and found upon the Island
OF Rodunda, IN the very state imported and sold
to consumers.
The regularity and uniformity of the fneness and
condition of the various cargoes already imported by
US into the United States tested by the analysis Of
the most eminent Chemists Of this country and Eu.
rope, is sufficient proof ofits origin and guarantee
OF our ability to furnish this Guano Of the quality
and purity represented.
T The PRICE of the KODUNDA GUANO is not the
least unimportant in these days OF agricultural com
petition and pecuniary embarrassment.
The very low price at which 1t can be sold pacesit
within III reach Of every farmer and avoids the risk
OF large loss frequently incurred BY failures Of the
crops in the purchase of high priced fertilizers.
EIIn the preparation oflands for Wheat and other
cereals this Guano possesses properties that render
it desirable for these crops than any yet offered
to the public.
Pamphlets containing the analysis and expert.
ments made BY the most prominent Chemists Of this
country and in Europe. together with innumerable
certificates Of its entire from farmers and
planters, can be obtained at our Office to which we
invite attention.
