Charles o'conor's Position.

Hon. Charles O'Conor, whose political SYM
pathles and opinions have been assigned by
Rumor place In the Blanton-Duncan wing OF
the Democracy, has been pumped into some
thing like clearness on the subject by o Herald
reporter. He seems 10 be decidedly 10th to
commit himself on the subject of accepting
The nomination of, the Louisville Convention,
If that body gets 30 far as to organize and offer
It to him, but he affirmed without any hesits:
ton that II that Convention nominated
straight-out Democratic candidates they would
receive his vote. He fatty denied feeling any
personal hostility to Mr.. Greeley; on the con-
trarv. he had always received from him and
his paper remarkable courteous treatment,
considering how widely they had differed on
matters of public moment, and If his support
depended on personal considerations, Mr..
Greeley should have all he could give. With
regard to the candidates already In The field,
he thought there was very little principle In.
yolved. The country was teemIng with plenty,
and there was no cause for any kind of appre-:
heusIop. AS far as Grant and Greeley were
concerned, he didn't see what they had to fight
about, except the possession Of the Presldeli-
tial Office; but as there was no serious question
uppermost to excite enthusiasm or the spirit
OF sacrifice, he could not seriously blame them.

Where the Parallel Fails.

The shameless style in which our black
faced or black-hearted public. men are traf-
ficking for the bonors OF The Commonwealth
remiuds classical correspondent of the
Abbeville Press OF the days when the office
OF Emperor OF the Roman Empire was put
up to the highest bidder at public auction.
Julianus purchased it for the price OF five
thousand drachmas to each member OF the
Pratorian Guard. He paid the price, but
lost his head and office. 10 Sirty days The
thing was 80 shockinsly monstrous that
even the degenerate Romans rose in mass
against the creature OF their own corrup-
ton. But Julianus paid his oDn money;
whereas the modern monsters fret betraS
tie the people by robSing The public Golfers,
with or without the forms OF law, and then,
qoitA the peoples money duy tile peoples
Offices again to enable them to reneU their
robberies. Imperial Rome must yield the
palm for rascality to Columbia and her Radi-
cal Ring.

The Iron ScePtre.

The extraordinary rise in the price OF iron
and iron fabrics which took place 10 Eng
land, the great centre OF the iron trade, q
few months ago, is having universal effect;
it is felt, not only in England, but in this
country, and, indeed, throughout the world.
It is row said that the cause OF this increase
in the price OF iron is an advance In the
price, or rather the cost, of COAL and this is,
no doubt, partly true, thoug b it is not the
whole explanation. Coal and iron are twin
brothers; they are to each oth.i as supple
nett and complement. When coal is touch
ed iron instantly respondO, and, when iron
is touched, the whole scheme OF civilization
responds, for it is one of the most easily de-
monstrable truths OF the day, that nations
civilization is measured by the per capita
amount of iron it consumes o year. The
cause OF the increase in the cost OF coal 10
England is said to he the increasing depths
OF the mines, requiring more painful and eX-
pensive processes for Fitting It from tha floors
OF the collieries to the surface. Within
year past, the price OF coal has nearly dou-
bled ut the pits mouth. This is the starting
point of series OF effects OF almost endless
length and OF universal manifestation. Thus,
London paper Informs us, there is an in
crease in the cost OF building OF 80 per cent. !;
| an increase OF 80 per cent. in the cost OF
| machinery; OF SO per cent. 10 copper; 4S per
cent. in tin; Al per cent. in nickel; SO per
cent. iu brass; SIS per cent in chains; III
per cent. in iron gas tubes; SO per cent. in
wrought nails; SO per cent. in iron bars; 50
per cent. in cut nails, and O proportionate
increase not only in all iron fabrics but in
all articles in the manufacture OF which iron
! machinery or iron tools are used. This really
means all things; there is nothing eaten
drunk or worn that has no. felt the influence
OF this rise in the price OF coal and IRON
Cheap coal and iron are blessings whose
| value cannot be measured; they make food
| and all other necessaries cheap, and are the
Indication OF innumerable comforts which
cannot he had without them.
The full effect OF this great advance IN the
price of coal and iron in England has mol
exhibited itself in this country; but it will DC
so by and by. One OF these effects, it Is
claimed, will be to approximate the cost o.
English fabrics of all kinds more nearly tc
the American cost, and thus destroy the
necessity for that protective tariff which W.
now impose TO bring the English prices uG
to ours. The percentage Of increase in the
articles we have referred to above is already
about equal to the average OF tue protective
duties imposed by our present tariff act. Ii
then, as our Protectionists argue, the chile
end OF tariff is to protect our manufactur
ers against the chief products OF forelSr
pauper labor, the rise in English coal ant
iron does this more effectively than any Ia"
could, and there is no longer necessity loi
protective tariffs. Some are even 80 sangulns
as to anticipate that, at the next Congress
the rise in the cost OF British coal and iron

The Abhorred Ring.

.---sEyarnt the Boston hdvertiser-Radlcal
The revelations now making relative 10 the
bond frauds and the general mlsmanagement
of affairs in South Carolina cannot fall to clear
the atmosphere In that much-abuscd State.
The rogues who have done the mischief are
fortunately at loggerheads among themselves
and the result Is general disclosure Of offences
,ohtch in any other State aooutd be tatat 10 the
aspirations of euery man Of them. National
polIlics have nothing to do with the comp plca-
tlons In which the State ls involved; for, al
though The Republicans are largely In the ma
,orlty, and are responsible for the misconduct
of their official representatives, large and
respectable portion of them comprehend the
disgrace under which they suffer, and in The
State election will enter into any honorable
combination which will relieve them of the
load.
From the New York Herald]
OF all the revolutions, political, social and
financial, in this country and In the several
States since the war commenced, that In The
condition and finances of South Carolina is
the most astonishing and deplorable. What
ever were the faults OF that State anterior to
tho war, and however much her secession pro-
clIvlties and conduct may be condemned, she
was undoubtedly as honorable In her financial
character and reputation as any country In
the world Her credit always stood high, and
she was more free from extravagance and
corruption than almost any State In the Union
But look at South Carolina now, under carpet
bag and negro rule. The wretches who have
control of the government aud finances have
plundered the people In the most frightlul
manner, and have rnlned the credit OF the
State. The letter OF our correspondent at
Columbia shows Stale OF things almost In
credible, and that has no parallel In iniamy In
the history of this country. And this is the
fruit of the Radicallsm OF the Republican
party and Republican Administration. With
all it's resources and the honorable character
of the native white population, the State hos
been brought within three or four years to the
verge oil bankruptcy. Besides ping up vast
and unnecessary debt In legal 1nrn, the car
pet-bag rascals have made q fraudulent Issue
of some seven millions of dollars in bonds.
Such unparalleled rascality could not be en-
dured In any of the Northern Stales, and Is
only possible In South Carolina through The
support given to carpet-bag Radcallsm there
by the Republican party and Government al
Washington.
