Death Of Henry X. Stuart, Sr.

timabe citizans, has been summoned
from the cares and responsibilities of this
life, to that future which hes so near US
all, but upon which few Of US are so well
fitted and pre- ared to enter, as our
friend, aud genial neighbor, thus taken
from our midst. There are others left in
Beaufort who have attained to greater age

THE PLATFORM OF THE CINCINNATI
CONVENTION.

The following ale the resolutions in
full:
We, the Liberal Republicans of the
Uuited States in national convention as
sembed q: Cincinnati, proclaim the toll
lowing principles as essential to just
government:
First We recognize the equality Of all
men before the law, and hold that it is The
duty Of the government, in its dealings
with the people, to mete out equal and
exact Justice TO all of whatever nativity,
race, color or persuasion. religious or po-
litcal.
Second. We pledge ourselves to main
tain the union of these States, emanclpa-
ton and eufrauchisement, and &c oppose
dny reopening Of the Questions settled by
the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments Of the constitution.
Third. We demand the immt dlate and
absolute removal of all disabilities imposed
ON account OF the rebellion, which was
finally sundCed seven years ago, believing
that universal amnesty will result in the
,mplete paclhcltlon of all sections of the
counuy.
Fourth. Local self government, with
impartial suftra.e, will guard the rights Of
all citiztrls more securely than any cen
traIized power. The public welfare re-
ouires the supremacy of the civil over the
military authority, and the freedom of
person under the protection Of the habeas
corpus. We demand for the individual
the largest liberty CONSISTENT with public
order, for the States government, and
for the nation return to the methods OF
ACE and the Constitutional limitation OF
power.
Fifth. The civil service Of the govern
mept has become a mere instrument of
partisan tyranny and personal ambition,
and an object of selfish greed. 1t ls a
scandal and reproach upon our free lnsti-
tutions, aud breeds generalization dan
yerous to the perpetuity of R publican
Cover nment. We, therefore, regard q

As an energetic EaM OF business our
minister to Spain wins even greater admra-
ton than as diplomat. Few could suppress
a feeling of incredulouS surprise wheH Gen
era Sickles recently announced that he had
not made dollar by the rlse III Erle, from
>pecu!a,i0ns on his own account; but, while
giving him the credit tor vcrac!ty which he
asks. it is still evident that, whether Or not he
speculated in Erie, his leave OF absence front
Madrid has been used to good effect The
f rgliSh stockholders Of Erie, 1t Is now stat

hundred thousand dollar, and matters have
been arranged 50 that he shall have Conklings
seat in the Senate when that worthy goes in
to the Cabinet, after Grant reelection.
The latter reward IS. Of course, contingent.
but the fee is cash in hand; SO that, taking
all thugs into consideration, the extra minis
tcrial business of General SickIes appears to
have been profitable enough. While draw

he does not render, General Sicklcs has en-

At last this great achievement, this
work which is to revolutionize the COM

due ions Of South Eastern South Carolina.
is about to be completed lis in fact now
completed, the road having reached one of
the most important points on the line of
the road, aud being now within ten miles
of the heart of the cotton country. On
SATURDAY., the 9TH inst, fully five hundred
people had gathered at Dixie to witness
the arrival Of the train. 1t Itcame-loaded
with freight, with passengers of every de-
scription, from land and timber specula-
tors. to merchants and manufacturers;
the former rapidly spread themselves
through the town in search Of owners of
tlmbered lands in the vicinity of the rail
road. Town lots, in Dixie, within an
hour after the arrival Of Saturdays train
rose in value fully fifty per centuln. Four
additional saw mills are now in process of
erection, and in reality 30 much energy in
every branch is heiug displayed, that it is
doubtful whether the gold excitement Of
California, much surpassed the timber ex-
citemeut of to day.
Many causes point to Dixie as the most
important place in future on the line of
the road, especially its position with refer
ence to G 'lleton, and TO the only complete
causeway over the Cposa whatchie, which
ensures for it receipts of cotton probably
equal to tha: which NAY be anticipate at
ali other prints on the road. The result
is due largely to the enterprise OF several
Of the energetic citizens who foreseeing
the future magnitude Of the place, nave
spared neither time, money, or labor to
build the place up.
Among the many buildings which with
in the past month have sprung up as it
were by magic in the heart of wilder
ness. prominent stands that Of Maj. A
Nc Bride Peoples, the upper portion of
which he has had constructed for the
benefit of the masonic fraternity, thus
furnishing them with one Of the most
aud elegantly appointed |
Lodges in the Safe. The lower part of
this building, which is in itself an instl-
tuition is dOubly noticeable from the fact
that it contains stock of goods which
would make envious ,me Of our Charles
ton merchants. We saw that the Major
himself, aud judging by the crowd about
his counters, we think the public were
showing due appreciation Of the energy |
and &C ivity which has characteriz I'd the
We say success to him.
That the road has been pushed forward
with such rapidity, since the action of the
Georgia II r., is due to the energetic
Of S. g. Milett, superiatend
ent and George Gage, chief engineer,
whose universal courtesy has made for
them friends from all those with whom
thev have been thrown in contact, and
whose Determined efforts resulting in the
completion of this great undertaking
pndears their names to every friend of the
State They are real good men and gen
tlemen.
