State. Second, and consequent upon the
first, he would secure a reduction of the
taxes. These were reforms that the Re-
publican party must effect, or its doom was
sealed. The people had spoken in tones Of
thunder, and that Voice must be responded
to. 1t was not yet too late-neyer too
late to strlveto do right. If they exhibi-
ted faults and follies in the past it was
time to begin to eradicate them, and the
standard bearer of the Republican party
should rememby that while he should in
scribe upon his banner Equal rights for
all. he should battle as we'll for the pockets
as for the rights of the whole people. He
then said that he was exhausted with the
mental strain of the last few days, and
would not delay them longer He would
address his views to the people in full
through the columns of the public press.
After a further expression OF thanks he
said good night.
Cheers followed, amid which the con-
vention adjourned till ten o'clock Friday.

lie had been sufferer during much
of his short life, and it was hand OF love
that took him away; bat the tender
chords Of many hearts had entWinedi
about him and they are broken and
bleeding now. By His handsome little
face, his bright, intellectual eye, and his
clear, sweet voice, he attracted the atten-
ton and won the admiration of the en-
tire village. Remarkably obedient, for
hisage, and atfectiOnate towards those
with whom he was familiar, he had en-
shrined himself rs the idol Of his parents
hearts, and now that he isgone, a shadow
dark and deep rests upon the household
of which he was once the light. The
following pathetic lines tell how the
eolemn hours move on'' now in that grief
stricken family:
81 watch to see little face
Sly peeping through the e.dcor;
And stop to hear wonted step
That comes within no more.

And watch and wait in vain;
EOt uuulStui Ucup hley lhONO w

"The Autumn rose can bloom and fade
In safety ca its bough;
The little hand stretched forth 10 pluck,
Will not molest it now.
The play things scattered far and wide.
About the parlor floor,
Are placed in Order, side by side,
To besiisturbed ne. more.
I hear the tread of other feet
And othef tones of glee;
And listen for another voice,
That comes no more to me.

The solemn hours move on;
Oh what can give my heart relief

upwards to the skies, where "the little
one is gone," to await them in brighter
and better home than any on earth.

THE. REPUBLICAN STATE CON-
VENTION.

This body convened in Columbia, on
Wednesday morning, the 2lst, and was
called to order by Lieut.. Gov. Ranslsr,
Chairman Of the State Executive Com
mittee, who, in few brief remarks, stated
the objects for which the Convention had
been called.
The financial report of the Executive
Committee was submitted.
Congressman R. B. Elliott was chosen
temporary Chairman of the Convention,
and, Walter jones, Secretary.
After considerable discussion, the rules
of the House, with certain alterations,
were adopted.
On motion, recess was taken, to allow
the Chairman to appoint Committee on
Credentials. During the interval the
Convention was entertained by music from
Thompson's brass band.
There were contesting delegations from
six Counties, viz: Charleston, Beaufort,
Lexington, Chesterfield, Union and York.
The following is the Committee on Gre
dentials:
J. 81. Rainey, Chairman, b. Ellison,
81. Lee, J. R. Cochran, Jas: NJ: Smith,

ston. S. A. Swails, NJ. L. Owens.
After the appointment Of the commit
tee, the Convention adjourned al about
three o'clock till eight, p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
The Convention re-assembled seon after
eight, p. m. The Committee on Creden-
tials not being ready to report, Jones pro
posed that the Conrntiod should have a
speech from Col. Kirk, Of Beaufort. This
was voted down
Mobley said that he saw Senator Saw
yer on the floor, and moved that he b'
invited to address the Convention.
Jones declared tartly that he saw 10th
ing'in air Sawyers record since. he was
picked Up by the Republican party to en-
title HIM to voice in the councils Of. the
party. If Sawyer had brought down tf
this S ate the mandate from Grant or
somebody else, as stated in the Charles
ton Nsws Of to-day, that the Convention
must 90 in a certain way, and not tue
other, he for one would show them tina =.
he had been sent here neither as a knave
nor as q fool, and he asked nobody to
come down from Washington to chalk ii
dig letters on black board for poor mig
gers to read the orders BY which they
should be governed. Sawyer had beer
present in the.las Convention, and nov
he reapreared in this, as though he had {
hereditary right to dictate to US poor ig
norant negroes, us poor dupes in the Sun
ny South. If Sawyer wanted to come
and advise the Convention, he should
come unconnected with any clique or del
egation.
June Mobley spoke in support of his
motion to invite Sawyer to speak, but the
question being put it was lost.
After speeches by Mobley and others
and considerable confusion, q recess was
taken for fifteen minutes The gas was
hicker.ng all this time, and the Conven-
tion was in semi-darEness The real OBJ
ject of the recess was to resuscitate the
metre.
The recess was interrupted at half-past
ten by a motion to adjourn till ten o'clock
Thursday morning, which was carried.

was in afflliation with the party, put he
would rather trust good honest Demo-
crat, anyhow, than galvanized rebs.
Gen. Whipper was called upon, next,
who made a speech, telling of the cor
ruption in the State government, and ad-
vocating reform inside of the party.
The meeting adjourned until Saturday
at u o'clock, at which time asecret ses-
sion will be held.
