The baltimore Nomination.

The Baltimore Nomination. ~
Z A week ago! the actual endorsement OF
the CINCINNATI iSnomination and platform
by the Baltimore Convention, was. an
nounced to the public Of this great and
expectant country. Our rscolumns this
week are full of details of the momentous
meeting of the national Democrats. The
vote by which Greeley was nominated
was CSC against 3S scattering. The plat
form was adopted by GO to go.
And now that tho Democracy of the
country have said that Greeley and Brown
are the men to lead us on to victory over
the heretofore invincible legions Of the
despot Grant, we may, with redouolea
zeal and vigor, join hands for the great
struggle. and vie with each other in our
efforts to break down the centralized des
potism at Washington A century Oh

have stood before the country. and been
thoroughly winnowed and sifted. Their
nomination, and the unanimity and cor

The Status of the Treaty.

In the midst of the fast rising excite
ment consequent upon the. rapidly-ap-
preaching State and National elections,
the Treaty between England and the
United States has been well nigh forgot
ten. 1t will be remembered that some
three or four weeks ago, this Treaty was
III danger Of being lrol1en oil, owing to
American persistence (the arrogance and
inefiiciency'of Grant and his Secretary
OF State, Fislr,) in c&act;ng II settlement
on the basis ot' indirect damages. Bul
matters have been considerably straight
ened out-by the backing down of Grant
and Fish and the Treaty is now ami
cably proceeding. The Board OF Arbi-
traitors threw out the indirect claims al
together, and the American government
having virtually abandoned them in the
new supplementary treaty, there was no
ground upon which there could arise
another serious hitch i'll the negotiations.
And SO they proceed OH the basis only OF
the direct claims.

The State About to be Saved Two Mil

Observation-Disclosures tile villanons
Act of the last Legislature which gave to
the villanous Blue Ridge Ring 81, 800, 900
in bills of credit of the State, to be known
anddesignatedas as "iRevenue Bonds Scrip"
This 81, l,sOO;OOOwas givenin exchange for
for four millions of guaranteed bonds,
for which the State was not then liable,
and which were worth not one cent to
the dollar. ~ 70 ~ So. :.
And now comes State Auditor, Edwin
F. Gary, and asks of the Supreme Court
that Niles G. Parker, the State Treasu-
rer, be restrained from either paying out
or receiving for taxes this ReyenueBond
Scrip. This is justly to bel considered
one of the most important legal ques-
tions that has been brought up before the
Supreme Court since the war. It was
argued on Thursday last in Columbia,
before Judge Willard. by Messrs Pope
and Haskell. for the Plaintiff, and by
Judge Magrath, who represents Mr..
Wesley of New York, Who'll has advanced
a considerable amount of money on this
"Scrip'' as collateral. And on the day
following, Messrs. Melton & Clark and
Mr.. D. H. Cham berlain, Attorneys for
Parker, declined to argue the question
at all. This leaves the case before Judge
Willard. And he, it is said, has already
indicated that his opinion will be. adverse
TO the validity of the Scrip. Consequent
Fly the resultof.the Auditors suit will be
toinyalidate tie Scrip, and thus save the
State fr6m the payment Of nearly two
millions of dollars, for which she has
never received tho slightest considera.
ton. The greater part of these bills OF
credit are still in the hands of the Ring,
and On them-we are delighted to say
loss will chiefly fall. ~
Concerning Judge Willard's opinion in
the case, the Columbia correspondent OF
the Charleston Ne,us writes as follows:
Mr.. Pope made, a very strong argu-
ment against the validity of the scrip,
and Judge willard intimated veryclear-
ly that he'helu the act to be unconstitu-
tional as authorizing the issue Of bills OF
credit, which the Constitution of the
United States prohibits, and also upon
other grounds, such as want of consid-

Cotton Prospects.

From Alabama, up to the 18th, we
learn that the recent rains have caused
the overflow of the Alabama river and
its tributaries, tearing up railroad tracks
and destroying the cotton and corn crops
to the value of 81, 100000 or more, The
ravages of the caterpillars continue. The
winding boll-worm is also appearing in
certain localities.
The Charleston Neacs, of the 18th, says:
"Private advices continue to. report the
presenee of the worm in greater or less
numbers generally along the. Carolina
coast"
Under the head of "Spreading," the
Eufaula (Ala.) Times, of the 9th instant,
says: "Recent advices from Jackson
County, Florida, and from the lower part
of Henry County, Alabama, establish
the fact that the cotton caterpillar is to be
seen on most of the plantations on the
river in increased and rapidly increasing
numbers. They are to be found in the
web and from that to full grown, with
ali the intermediate ages. They Go not
confine themselves to the Alabama and
Florida side Of the river, but crops on
the Georgia shore are equally ravaged.
Near and below Gordon, in this State,
some of the fields are reported riddled
already. A very short while since
scarcely longer than few days-the
prospect was never more fiattering. Now
from all rich lands, where the growth is
rapid and the weed large and tender, we
have accounts of this fearful blight.
The caterpillar is said to be destroying
the crop in Sabine and Liberty counties,
Texas, and it is feared that the rains now
falling there will develop the caterpillar
rapidly in many portions.of the State.
In Louisiana, on the Red River, the
cotton worm has putin an appearance,
end great damage is apprehended.

"GRANT, LII. D.-Most of the press

of Laws on General President Grant, by
old Harvard. This is all wrong. If ever
man has doctored the laws, without

has accepted .it-ss he does everything

What Grant Said to Tom Ma ckey.


There was grand Radical gloritica-
tion at Chester OH the 4th, and at this
gloriiication Judge Mackcy-the illustri
Gus Thomas Jefferson Macltcy-was the
orator of the day, and in the course OF
his speech, we learn through the Chester
Reporter, the Judge talked thusly:
After the usual and always proper trib,
utc to the memory of the fathers of the
Revolution, and amid numerous lauda-
tions of "the old flag" he proceeded to
denoni..~ in the strongest terms the inia-
nous corruptions and vrllainies Of onr
present State government, and urged
upon his colored auditors the necessity
of prompt and thorough reform.
He said to them that in recent con-
versation with President Grant, the Presi-
dent told him to say to the Republicans
of South Carolina that he had sent his
infantry, his cavalry and his artillery
down here to protect the people in all
their rights Of citizenship, but that un-
less there was a speedy change for the
better in the affairs of the State, hcwould
come with stronger power and would
thoroughly cleanse the Republican tem-
pic here of the thieves and robbers which
now infcSt it to the shame of the Repub-
lican party, and would if necessary re-
mand The State back to provisional gov
ernment. Pretty strong language this,
even for the soldier President.
The Judge, however, was very much
in earnest in his condemnation of cor
ruption and inef1iciency in office, and
equally as much in earnest in impress
ing upon his fellow Republicans the fact
that the remedy was in their hands, and
if they failed III the discharge OF their
duty, in electing honest and capable men
to Office, the responsibility was theirs,
and tho consequences above threatened
