The GGiter's Platform

Resolccd, l. That we declare our cordial
acceptance ofthe platform of the Philadelphia
Convention, and pledge ourselves to the earn
est support Of its andard-bcarcrs, General
Grant and Hon. Henry Wilson.
2. Thatinasmuch as the notoriously corrupt
and imbecilc character of the present State
administration has brought disgrace upon
Republcanism everywhere, and Is now a
heavy burden upon the national party, i'm
peding, if not endangcring, its success,
therefore, tho Republicans of South Carolina
owe it to themselves to elect such officers as
will insure an honest administration of govern
mcnt, and thus assure their brethren all
over the land that the disgrace which attaches
to the party in this State shall be re-
moved. ' .. ... ".
3. That we pledge the honor of the State
to the payment Of all its debt which has been
legally and honestly contracted; but that we
will not hesitate to rcpudiate that portion of
it which is illegal, and therefore null and
roid. ... . '... .....
4 That VIC pledge ourselves to inauguratc
and carry out an honest administration ofthe
affairs Of the State, and to resist the payment
Of all fraudulent pay certificates and warrants
upon the Treasury. .
S. That we pledge ourselves, far as in our
power lies, to an immediate reduction Of the
enormous taxes under which the people are
groaning, and that we believe that this can
be most speedily accomplished by introduc.
ing honesty and economy into tho manage
mcut Of the various departments of the
State Government.
6. That the pledges made by the Convcn-
ton nominating Franklin j. Moses, Jr.,
must be judged of in the light of his record, ,
and Of those who sustain him, and that when
thus viewed, the people Of the State will not
hesitate to say that pledges from such u
source have no value, but arc simply intend
ed to blind the eyes of tie people to the true
purpose of those men, which purpose must
be in the future, as in the past, the accom-
plishment of purely selfish ends, regardless of
the welfare Of the State.

stage of the proceedings, about four o'clock.
commenced scene of disgraceful contu-
sion and noise that has seldom been equaled.
Moblcy made the air ring with his howls.
and for over three hours the shouting and
yelling continued unabated.
The opposition to Cardozo, led by Frost,
Swails, Moblcy, Jamison and others, seemed
to gain ground, and in the face Of the arbl.
trary rulings Of Elliott, vote was STAYED
off, until about 8 o'clock At this time Ri.
lott instructed the Clerk to call the roll for
the ballot, but Mobley said he would be ID
if vote should be taken until he had had
his say. The Chairman began to rap him
down with his gavel, when Moblcy, seizing
large cut glass iukstand on the reporter S
table, began to hammer with it. The crowd
gathered around, pistols were drawn, and the
Convention broke up in q general row. 1t
meets again tomorrow at 10 o'clock, A. NJ,
and it is thought that Cardozo will ultimate
ly be nominated Treasurer, although there is
strong opposition to him. ....
After the boisterous breaking up of the
State House Convention on Friday night,
caused by Mobley's exploits with thciuk
stand, row was naturally looked for on Satur-
day morning, and just previous to the as.
sembling of the Convention, there seemed
to be some probabilities for it. The dele
gates soon gathered together in little groups,
caucussing the situation, and the hero of the
previous nights pcrformonce, juno Mobley,
looked revolvers and ku klux from his eagle
eye. The reportorial corps, to whom the
inkstand demonstration was most dangerous,
accordingly prepared for fight, but the God
of Peace appeared on the scene, and oil was
poured upon the waters. Mr.. Cardozo
whose attack upon Mobly in his speech on
Friday, was the spark that lighted the fire
of that gcntleman's wrath rose to explain
and in language chilklikc and bland y
made the necessary apologies. This mouen'
tous matter having been settled, the patriots
once more set themselves to the considora
of the business before them, viz: the wash
ing of dirty linen generally, and the discus
sion Ol ITc Virtues anu SHolI CoHlhSS Y WI
Cardozo, the candidate for State Treasurer
in particular. ........ ...
After speeches by Frost and Swails, re-
piled to by Cardozo, the latter was duly cleo
ted The other offices were filled without
any more drawing of pistols, battcring Of
inkstunds, or other outrageous pcr(orman
ces. We gave ticket in full last week.

A SUBTERRANEAN PAssAGE-A singu-
lar discovery has recently been made in
Washington county, Indiana, being sub
erraLean river. Two men employed to dig
a well, began digging. In place, where, as
they thought, it would not be probable to
encounter an obstruction in their search for
water. They had proceeded but short dis
tance however, when they encountered bed
of "niggerhead" rocks, which, upon being
broken open, were found to contain water
and other substances, supposed to be orc Of
some kind. When they reached the depth
of sixty feet from the surface, they came
to large cave which they followed the dis
tance of ten Or twelve feet, when there be-
fore their gaze was beautiful river of clear
water, which upon examination was found to
contain an innumerable number of small
white fish. Upon q closer examination it
was found to be sixteen feet wide and five
feet in depth. and as clear and cold as spring
water. As an experiment, lighted candle
was placed on a small piece Of plank and set
ahoat. 1t started off in the darkness with
the current, aud was soon lost to sight. Ma
nv coniecturcs have been made as to this
great curiosity, but the only reasonable i'm
preston is that in former days when this
country was inhabited by Indians, the lat
ter had known Of this cave and river, and
had concealed their wealth in it and then
filed the entrance to the cave with loose
rocks, and left it to return perhaps. at some
future time to convey it hence. ..

FIRE IN TIE REAR-The Oshkosh Norhh-
mcstc,n says: GA ludicrous occurrence took
place on the day Of the fire, which caused
considerable excitement on Main street Just
South of Church street. While every body
was busy putting out the falling sparks, sud
denly the scream of woman was heard
above the surrounding din, and she came
running along the sidewalk with her hustle
on fire. 1t was composed of paper and rags:
and burned rather lively. The woman ran
and screamed, small boys and dogs got out
of the way in hurry, while strong men
were SO overcome by the excitement Of the
occasion, as not to have many wits at their
disposal. At length a man, boldcr than the
rest. grabbed the woman and beat the, hustle
till he put the fire out. Tho fire hid not
quite reached the flesh, and besides severe
scare, burnt dress, and very tickled crowd
of spectators, the lady came out uninjured.

history of the present administration shows
that no statutory safeguard will protect the
treasury with Franklin j. Moses, Jr., at the
head of tho Government, and his willing
tools in the Offices. :,
8. That under our constitution we believe
any other than an ad valore,n system of tax
alton to be null and void, and hence that the
general license law, passed at the last session!
of the General Assembly. was in violation Of
the constitution, and of the rights Of the
people, and could only have originated in
desire to extort from the people of the
State still larger sums of money, to bo cor
ruptly used by men who controlled the Go
vernment.
8. That We blush for our party when we
remember that, under this Administration,
the education of the people has been SO
shamefully neglected, in consequence OF the
failure of the Government to pay promptly
and faithfully the appropriations made by
the Legislature; and that We pledge ouri
selves to apply remedy for this crowning
disgrace in tia future. = '. t'hs . "

A FATAL LAKE.-A correspondent of
the San Francisco Bulletin writes:
Some twelve or fourteen persons have been
drowned in this lake within the past ten
years none of the bodies haveeycr been re-
covered. Superstition, ever ready to weave
a sensation, from natures laws, asserted that
there was doubtful mystery in the non-re-
covery of the drowned; that, in fact, o mon
ster had its abode in this frceh water sea,
and that the bodies all passed into his capa-
cious. maw.. Tho true explanation Of the
mystery never has been given. The non
appearance Of tho bodies is due to three
causes: The first is the great purity Of, the
water and its consequent lack of buoyancy.
Drowning is very easy in it, for this reason,
though / have not while swimming in. !it,
found any more than ordinary difficulty in
sustaining myself, The second and great
cause is dueto the coldncss of; the. water.-
Even at,this, the warmest season, theSurface
water is as cold as the drinker desires it to
be, but is warm there, compared. with its
temperature at one hundred to two hundred
feet. 1t is as cold there as the arctic heat
of an iceberg. When body sinks into the
lake to the depth required, it is'frozcn stiff.
The process, of course, preserves it, 50 that
the gas Which originates in the body from
decay in other water is prevented, and dis
tension is checked. The body is thus, kept
in state of greater specific gravitation than
the water in which it is suspended, and there
by prevented from rising to-. the surface
The third causelias in the great pressure of
the pure water on pybhing that is sunk toa
great depth in it. Corks placed on deep
sea nets arc pressed down in u week to half
their size, and one Of the oldest residents of
the lake expresses the belief that by the
time mans body has been suspended for
a week at the depth of 200 feet Git is not
likely that it ever reaches the caycrnous and
almost fathomless bottom Of the great lake,)
the compression of the water has reduced its
size to that of child's. Doubtless the idea
of uncofined suspension in such world Of
water" is not pleasant one to contemplate,
but to be pressed intoa solid mass and be
suspended in liquid coffin Of ice tempera-
ture, is quite as pleasant as interment and
mouldering in the ground. -..,l :, --.,r,!a
