Mrs. ZIsIMERAIAN's INSTITUTION FOR
You've LADIES. The Sumter TVatch-
man, speaking of this lady, whose
card appears in another column, says:
''Nfrs. Zimmerman's school, and
the high reputation of that lady, not
only for imparting book learning, but
for educating young ladies in the not
less important department, which
looks to the cultivation of the graces
which come from natural accomplish
ments and the proprieties of life, is
we'll known and appreciated in Sum-

The State Convention of the Re-
publican party of South Carolina,
adjourned last evening, after very
inharmonious session. in this city, of
three days. It was composed, as
nearly as we could ascertain, of nine
ty-six negroes and mulattoes, eighteen
carpet-baggers, attracted from various
points of that part of this glorious
Rerublic, which lies North of tie
Potomac River, and ten white men.
The usual amount of buncombe
and gas was permitted to escape, and
an average quantity of such courte-
sizes as ''falsehood," "no gemmen,"
and "I meet him ont of dis house,"
were exchanged. To go further into
the details of the proceedings of the
hybrid concern, would not only tax
our professional patience too much,
but offend the good taste of our read
ers. We write this in no spirit of
partizanship, but simply to do JUS
tice to an assemblage which, for the
Ignorance and indecency o; its mem
bers, surpasses every other we have
even seen in the South. 1t is wor-
thy of mention, however, that the
Committee appointed by the sable
brethren to inspect the accounts of
the Chairman of the State Central
Executive Committee, Hon. (?) Rev.
B. F. Whittemore, member of Con-
grcss from the First District, re-
ported that whilst they applauded
the zeal he had displayed in the cause
of Republicanism in this State, they
regretted that he had not taken more
pains to secure receipts for the dis
bursements of the funds ($3, ,400)
which had been collected and placed
in his hands. We leave our readers
to infer what was meant.
After spending three days in the
perfection of the job, the Convention
has finally organized for the cam
paign, in the interests of Cant and
Grabtax, on the following basis:
Chairman of the State Central Exc
cutive Committee-Hon. Reverend
Senator Burnt District Negro Ran
