The CONVENTION To.DAY.-The republicans
of Massachusetts will meet in convention in
Mechanics hall to-day. The streets and the
Bay State house last eVeningdid not present the
same appearance that they did last year, al
though very large number of delegates arrived
Yesterday. Gov. William b. Washburn will
undoubtedly be nominated by ballot, if not by
reclamation, although it is probable that the
latter will be the case. The only contest will be
for the second position on the tickeI, for which
Hon. L. b. Stoddard of this city and Hon,
Thomas Talbot of Billcrca are the,most promi-
nent candidates, with the chances strongly in
favor of the nomination of the former. The
convention will be called to order by George S.
Merrill of Lawrence, and organized by the
choice Of Hon. j, NJ. S. Williams of
Cambridge as temporary chairman, and
Dr. George B. Loring of Salem as
president. The committee on resolutions
will be strong one, with Edward L. Pierce for
chairman and Congressman Hoar, Speaker San
ford of Taunton and Charles W. Slack the next
on the list. Col. Albert j. Wright of Boston
VIII be chairman Of the committee on organza-
ton and Hon. Martin Griffin of that on creden-
tlals. The convention will not be so fully
attended as some of previous years, owing to
the fact that there is no movement to prevent the
denomination Of Gov. Washburn. The noted
men of the party are well represented here al
ready and will be influential in its deliberations
to-day Henry b. Blackwell is here working
llkea beaver to get woman suffrage indorsed by
'he convention. Gov, Jewell of Connecticut,

and it is confidently asserted that both will he

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

In a recent speech Judge T. j.
Mackey gave it as his opinion that
"the State government is responsible
for every red shroud in which sleeps a
X. X victim, and for the suflerings
and misery Of every South Carolinian
who languishes behind the bars of AL
bany Penitentiary,"
In support of this he pointed
out the mingled buster, cowardice,
ignorance and,imbecility which marked
the conduct of the State in dealing
with the rioters and lawless spirits of
the disturbed counties.
In this connection we heard the
Judge recently say that GRAFT was
entirely ignorant Of the fact that the
militia sent by the Governor to quell
the Ku Kux, and which was disarmed
by the people, were all colored men.
The President was much surprised at
the information and intimated that his
action would have been modified If this
fact had been presented to his mind
before be declared martial law.

rect these abuses, by Republican vot-
ers themselves, then Gen. Grant will
certainly recommend to Congress to
remand the State to territorial con-
dition, under a provisional govern
ment. If IfRepublicans cant correct the
abuses committed BY the bad members
of their party, let the State be surren-
dered back to the care Of the general
government"
Such remedy would be as bad as
the disease. The people of South Cal-
olna are not particular as to the names
of those who rob them. 1t is the steal
ing they object to. We cannot see
any possible good to acrue from swap
ping Scott or Moses for Grant.
OF course the story is prepostersous
In the frst place Grant has no such
power, and in the next place he would
not exercise Il in opposition to regular
Republican nominations if he had.
The ring are not afraid Of him. Those
who are counting on his aid to defeat
the ring nominations by aiding bolt
ing ticket in this State are destined to
be wofully disappointed.

Sumner for Greeley.

Hon. Charles Sumner has written a
long letter addressed to number Of col
ored men who had asked his advice as to
their political course. He declares his
purpose to vote for Horace Greeley,
Mr.. SumDer:contrasts the two candi-
dates. Greeley was born in poverty, and
educated himself in printing office.
Grant, fortunate in early patronage, be-
came a Cadet at West Point. and was
educated at the public expense. One
started with nothing but industry and
character; the other with. military com
mission. One was trained as u civilian;
the other as q. soldier. Horace Greeley
stood forth. as reformer and an Aboil-
ZIONIST. President Grant enlisted as "a
pro-slavery Democrat, and at the e'ec-
ton of James Buchanan, fortified by his
vote all the preteusions of slavery, even
the bred Scott decision: Greeley, from
early life, was earnest and constant against
slavery, full of sympathy with the eolored
race. and always fore ost in the great
hattie for their rights. President Grant,
except as a sol ier, summoned by the
terrible accident of war, never dad any
thing against slavery, nor has he at any
time shown any sympathy with the co.,
ored race. Horace Greeley earnestly de-
sired that the colored citizen should vote,
and ably championed impartial Suffrage;
but President Grant was on the other
side. Beyond these contrasts, which are
marked, it cannot be forgotten that
Horace Greeley is person Of large heart
and large understanding and strlved to
support human rights. Mr.. GreeIey's ln-
dus rv, general knowledge, amiable ma
ture. and above all, honesty, which no
suspicion has touched, are maintained.
None OF these things appear in President
Grant. His great success in war cannot
change his record toward the colored peo-
pIe; while there are autecedents showing
that in the prosecution of his plans he
cared nothing for the colored race.
Mr.. Sumner says the hardihood Of
political falsehood reaches It's extreme
point when it is asserted that under
Horace Greeley the freedmen will be re-
enslaved, or that colored people will III
auv way suffer in their equal rights; on
the contrary they have in.hls election
not only the promises of the platform,
but also the splendid example for tuii
generation, during which he has never
wayered in the assortionof their rights
To suppose that Horace Greeley when
placed where he can do the NEST good
will depart from the rule Of his honest
life is aninsult to reason. 1t IS none the
less idle to suppose that Democrats sup
porting Horace Greeley, expect or desire
that he should depart from those pr'nci-
pies which are the glory of his character
They have accepted the CinciWati plat
form with its two-foll promises, and m
tend in good faith to maintain it.

lain had paid Whipper five thousand
dollars to be left out of the imeeach-
ment resol buttons. Upon being reques-
ted to show his witnesses he rather
weakened, but persisted in asserting
the truth of the charge from his own
knowledge.
Alfred Williams made short speech
in favor of Grant and Wilson, after
which the meeting adjourned.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the canvass is to be hot one. II
the people are led to believe both the
candidates in what they say OF one
another, is it not good time to troi
out liberal Republican who can beat
them both. Yours,
A GREELEYITE.

CAUGHT AGAIN.

Peter Holmes, who was convicted a
year or more ago for the murder OF
Mathews in this county and who has
twice escaped from custody, Was arres-
ted again on Monday, the 18th, near
Green Pond. Information reached u.
II. Farmer, trial justice at WATERFORD
that he was in that vicinity. A party
was sent out who chased hum to Green
Pond. He resisted arrest for some
time and after his capture offered sixty
dollars to be let off His whereabouts
leaked out in the conversation of his
wife. He will be taken to the penitcn-
tiary, where, if they want to keep him
a good watch must be maintained. He
is a schemy fellow.

SnIiiprS ut Mass Meetings.

A row occurred last week at meet
inc near Charleston in which several
persons were injured by bayonets in
the hands of militia men. The custom
of calling out the awkward squads OF
our local militia on the occasion OF
political meetings is a pernlcious one.
Such meetings are for citizens. The
presence of men with arms is incon-
gruous aud unnecessary, and is likely
to fonent disorder and render it more
DANGEROUS.

THE CANVASS FOR SENATOR.
To the Editor Of Republican,:

To the Editor Of Republican:
Thinking you might not have had a
reporter present at the meeting at Law
tonville on Saturday last. have jottcd
down some ofthe salient points for you.
The first feature was the preposter-
Gus proposition of DIR. Brisbane, to levy a
nine miHtax for school purposes, in addi-
ton to the state and poll tax. 1t was diff
cult to believe that he was serious in pro-
posing it but such is the fact. It's either
the blunder Of tool or the artful dodge of
a demagogue. There was but one vote
for it, the tax of one mill and one dol
lar poll tax being voted.
Then came the rea! object which
had drawn such large cr0wd-two
Senatorial champions entered the lists
for a regular set to. Whipper was
called for first, but he said the meeting
was none Of his, and unless he was at
tackled he would have nothing to say.
Smalls then took the stand. he seemed
to have determined and noisy follow.
ing, who were much more aggressive
than the partisans of Whipper. His
speech commenced with Grant and
Wilson, but he soon abandoned them.
He pitched into the Columbia admin
istration, especially into Scott and
Parker. He said mistakes had been
made in putting such men in Office.
Hereafter he advocated the election OF
Southern men. The carpet-baggers
he said left the State as soon as they
made money enough or got out OF
office. In county offices he instanced
late Treasurer Kuh, Auditor Rundlet,
Judge Bell and Silas Wright, deputy
collector. He might have said Post
master SmallwOod, who departed also.
Put none but Southerners on guard"
seems to be his motto. Of course
Whipper was the Norlherncr particu-
larly meant by him, but it is evident
that Northern Republicans are not
wanted in his canvass.
Whipper then took the stand. He
proceeded to point out the fact that
Senator Smalls had voted for every
administration measure, and that he
was now going back on the Columbia
ring merely for political purposes. lie
charged him with being corrupt, and
added that the whole delegation was
equally 80. The validating bill, the
Blue Ridge swindle, etc., had received
the vote of every one except himself
He wound up by o defence of North
ern men, asserting that he proud oi
having been born a freeman.
N. B. Myers then took the platform
and made telling speech. He raked
up many damaging charges against
Whipper. Said that he had swihdled
the State in connection with the Land
Commission, the Sinking Fund and in
the legislative expenses. He asserted
that he could prove by witnesses pres
ent that Attorney General Chamber

Goethe Township School Meeting.

The annual meeting of Goethe town
ship was held on June q at Hopeville
church. Mr. C.R. Fits was chairman and
J..V. Dowlings secretary. A tax of one
mill and one do lar poll was assessed.
Resolutions were introduced, and passed
unanimously, severely criticising the ac-
ton of the Governor in reinstating Mr..
Langley as school commissioner, and re-
commencing nevertheless school trustees
to retain office in order to prevent wrong
being done to school interest by unworthy
office holders.

A Riot in Savannah.

On Monday afternoon and evening Sc
rous riots broke out in Savannah. Some
trouble h&,, been experienced on Sat;r-
day and Sunday i'll regard TO co!orcl peo
pie riding in the street cars set apart for
whites. No one objected TO this particU-
larly save few rowdy boys and young
men, who organized themselves TO put
out every colorcd man who camc into the
white cars. This Of course melted the
same low class Of blacks to get up Il row.
The best classes OF both whites and blacks
cnleayored to allay thc excitement but
without effect. Ga Monday night the
excitement eliminated by car con-
tanning the whites being fred into by
blacks from an alley. Those in the car
returned the fire 10y which several col
orcd men were injured. The same night
Grant meeting vas broken up, partly
by It's own party qnarrels anl partly by
outsiders.
Gangs Of blacks raradel in sections Of
the city diseharying gun, and pistols. \
lady and three children were wounded by
one ct' these parties. Excited crowds OF
white men also attacked the negroes: and
for several hours the City was conyui>cd
by these Iawle>S acts. On Tuesday mat
ters were quiet and no further trouble is
apprchcndeI. Five OF six white ncn
were wounded and dozen colurccs.

The School Tax.

Sheldon township is not enthusiastic
for school tax as it might be. We are
sorry to note that Fl. NJ. Fuller Esq,
has resigned from the board Of rustees.
Biufton voted tax, and Robertson still
lives. Hilton Head and Coosawhatchie
and St. Helena have come up nobly and
voted the tax. As there is hardly a hope
that any thing will be had from the state
these township taxes are important.

THE BLUE RIDGE SCRIP.

The papers Of the State have jumped
to the conclusion that the Revenue
bond scrip scheme is killed, and that
the State has been saved the s., ,OO), ,0G0
paid for the worthless bonds held by the
Blue Ridge railroad company. If the
ring ticket is elected in October next
they will find out their mistake. Those
holding the scrip are quite as confident
as ever Of a fual triumph. AS long as
Auditor Gary remains as one Of their
opponents they have no hope of a dis-
continuance Of the suit or any falter-
ing in its advance. To him belongs
all the credit for the success of the first
attempts to arrest the scheme. But
after the installation of the State
officers this fall his duties will devOlve
upon the Comptroller. No opposition
will be thought of by the man nomi-
mated by the ring to this or any other
scheme of public plunder. He will
withdraw the suit on the part of the
Auditor.

THE Z. K. X. SCHEDULE.

We fear some parties have been mis-
led by depending upon the advertised
schedule of the railroad. We therefore
republish our time table which is now
risidly adhered to. The mails are as
fickle, inconstant and changeable as
though they were femails:
"Trains leave Port Royal every. once,
in. while; reach Yemassee if possible,
connecting occasionally with a train
on the S. & C. railroad. The whole

dence.'
