thoroughly renovated and conveniently alter

ample kitchen accommodation, wash-rooms,

TRAVELLERS can refresh themselves before par

senger train. The ladies' recept,on-room IS
model of neatness and comfort, and the eating
room il well arranged, either as lunch or

RADICAL WARD MEET1NGs.-Last night the
Radicals held meetings in all of. the wards Oh
the city for the purpose Of electing delegates
to the County Convention, Ito be held on the
18th instantly which will nominate candidates
for county commissioners, school commission
.er, Judge Of probate, senator and members OF
the House of Representatives. There were IN
all of the meetings we witnessed more OF less
disorder, but so far as We could learn there
were no knock-down arguments used.
The Radical house of Charleston County Is
divided against Itself and must surely fall. The
Radicals generally, when Invited to the meet
ings last night, were advised not to conduct
their meetings in such manner as to give
their enemies grounds for sneers or fidi-
cule." Voters of Ward l were exhorted to
vote for Republicans, and not to be intimida-
ted By the Rule and Ruin Ring" those OF Ward
q were told to show the Rule and Ruin Ring
that they took an interest In ward meetings;
those Of Ward 3 were entreated to turn
.out. as the "Rule and Ruin Ring would be
present in great force and attempt to brow
beat the honest gates of this stronghold OF Re-
:publicanism;" those of Ward were inform
ed that it was the s'bully" ward, which would
sssettle the status of the Rule or Ruin Ring;'
and. as an extra inducement for the voters Of
Ward to attend, they were told ITO be
on hand to let out" "the dark lantern fellows,
who said that they were going to meetin the
Ward room.
Lqer.-We learn, through Messrs. J.W. Grif'
u, and James Harrington, that In Ward l the
Radicals vho consider Daddy" Cain county
chairman, AID those who believe Mlshaw to
hold that position, elected delegates. The
parties above referred ostate that Mackey's
friends had armed men at the doors to prevent
Mishaw's and Grifin's friends from entering
and those of them who secured entrance were
not allowed to vote as they desired. In Wards
10, and 6, and perhaps in others, the fac
tions split. and both elected delegates. We
have been favored with a list OF the names o.
most of the delegates, but, as it is not certain
who are really elected, We decline publishing
any.
