best Way to obtain an honest and economi-
cal government. This seems to be the main
purpose of every delegate. The low country,
for instance, meets the up-country, not TO
bicker and quarrel, or, to fight for political
preferment, but to see what the hardy noun
taineers propose for the welfare OF the State.
There is on all sides manifest wish that we
may arrive at q harmonious decision, so that
all South Carolina, with the same weapons,
may enlist in the ranks of Reform.
And, indeed there is little room for differ
ences of opinion. The convention recog-
nizes by the terms Of its call, the equal,
civil and political rights Of all citizens OF the
State. This knocks out the ''patent in
nards" of the Radical party. Their post OF
vantage is lost. Again, the convention, by
the terms of it's CALL will consider the means
of securing an honest, able and economical
government, which shall protect the rights
of labor, encourage the influx of capital, and
represent with fidelity all classes OF the peo-
ple. This is the kind of government that
we have not and cannot have, while Scott is
the minion OF the hour; but it is the govern
ment that both workingman and capitalist
must have, if they would rise from the ashes
and prosper.
Upon the question OF nominating candi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant-GoVernor
against the Radical nominees, there will be,
in the beginning, some difference of opinion.
But when it is understood, as it will be, that
O nomination will not consolidate Radical
ism more than it is consolidated already
that it is useless to wait for a ''belt"@that
to make no nomination is to throw up the
sponge and give up the political ghest-thas
no bargain can be made with a Ring which
never, save by accident, fails to break its
word-that, without nomination the peo-
pie will give up hope and try to find out
whether the devil is as black as he is paint
ed--that Scott can be beat if we make up
our minds to beat him; VIC cannot 'feuot that
the nominations will be made. There may
be some better plan, although we think not;
but unless some new light be thrown
upon the subject, it is clear enough to Us
that a nomination is the only chance of safe
ty for the people An opposition candi-
date of the right stamp. with the hearty help
of the white voters. can be elected GoOernor
of South Carolina.
The conditions are few and clear: l. A
strong candidate, unobjectionable TO the
masses, ready to work from morn to night
until election day is over. 2. The co-opera-
tion of the whites-without which no candl-
date, were he an angel, can compass victory.
Surely some one can be found who posses
ses the first named qualification; surely the
whites and the blacks can be aroused to their
common danger, and the necessity OF unit
ing to save them and the State from ruin.
Upon the answer OF the convention to these
questions, depends the whole fortune Oh
South Carolina. Unless we make the trial
we cannot secure better government, and
unless better government be had, and that
quickly, the people and the State are lost

A Notable Gathering.

Whatever the result OF its deliberations, the
assembling of the Reform Convention will be
a memorable event in the political history Of
the State. 1t may be taken as an active ex-
preston of the general conviction that the
time has come when we must put away all
of the past that is unworthy of remembrance;
when we must direct the public mind, in
earnest, to the erection Of new political
fabric, whose cornerstone shall be the IS
of .he present, rather than the shadowy
Daiqlt haze been. The very fact that the
convention will be held, is subject OF con-
graduation. 1t has been attacked in front
and rear. The supporters of the Ring-the
open and concealed-have thrown cold water
upon the movement from the very beginning.
The same thing has been done by the $50
cial equality" sbriekers, who declare that
there is only one way of saving the State, and
that is by not doing anything that Reform
ers or Republicans desire to have done. The
Scott party, also, have tilted at the conven-

vain. Neither their money nor their blarney
did them any good, or the convention any
harm. Here and there an old leader of the
white people is said to have made secret
bargain with the State officials. This paid
well. But blast and counter-blast could not
hold the people back. They made up their
minds that they would have the convention,
and'it meets, accordingly, in Columbia on
the day after tomorrow. That convention
will represent seven-eights OF the white peo-
ple of the State, and powerful minority
of the cOlored voters.
The object of the convention is the secur
ing of united opposition to the corrupt eN-
travagance of the Scott Ring; and so unset
fish is the movement that we are not aware
that any delegation is pledged to any par
ticular man or any particular measure.
What is demanded is a full and free discus
sion Of the condition OF the State, and OF the

The Death of William Gilmore simm

South Carolina has lost great man-one
who earned q just distinction in every walk
of literary life, who never faltered in his de-
votion to the land which gave him birth
whose pious care and mastery genius made Of
the past history Of the South living, breath
ing reality; who caused the manners and
customs, the men and the women, 'of the
"good old times, :" to dwell with US again in
the melodies of his verse and the romantic
splendors of his prose.
William Gilmore Simms, poet, historian
and novelist, the veteran head OF South
Carolina literature, died in this city on Sat
urday last.
To him the State and the whole South owe
q debt Of gratitude that cannot soon be paid.
At least let him live in his works, and in the
kind thoughts and grateful remembrance OF
the whole Southern people.

A Tough Goose Story.

TB7IIERE once lived in one Of the little
1 towns, not many miles from Conway,
New Hampshire, an eccentric individual
by the name Of Foss, whose fame as a
story teller was known for miles around.
" My house was situated in Il glen some
six miles distant from the stage road
Between Conway and where lived was
a pond Of six miles in circumference. 1t
so happened one time early in the spring
that had been out late, and coming
home discovered flock of geese as
they were just alighting in the pond
Rising early the next morning, | built
the fire in the fire place, and taking down
the old shooting iron, | started to the
pond to try my luck. Arriving on the
shore, found to my sorrow that they
were out Of gun shot, and to fire at that
distance would be to sheer folly. While
[ stood contemplating what to do, & fox
came down to the waters edge and stood
snuhing the air. My first thought was to
shoot him, but on rejecting / concluded
to see what he would do. The fox in the
meantime entered the water and was
swimming for the geese, which were hud-
died together about half a mile from the
shore. After swimming within few
yards of them, he suddenly disappeared
and in a few moments Il goose was drawn
under water, when Reynard returned on
his homeward passage and landed his bur
den on shore, then returning again he
brought another until finally he got the
whole flock; aud when he brought the
last one | shot him. When | came to
pick up the geese, l found had got fifty
good nice ones, which | lugged home, to-
gether with the fox and my gun. The
old woman had not got breakfast ready
then"
But, Mr.. Foss, the fox, to capture the
geese, had to swim out half a mile and
back, thus making a mile for each
goose; consequently the fox swan ftty
miles, and as the geese averaged six
pounds apiece, it made the sum of three
hundred pounds, to say nothing Of the
fox and gun; the thing was impossible" q"
" Impossible or not, every word Of it
is true" exclaimed the old man, "and |
can prove it by Iioren u dozen Of my
neighbors, to each Of whom | sold feath
ers enough to fill bee"
