The Louisville Convention.

We omitted last week to mention the result
of the Louisville Convention, which assembled
on the Sd of September, for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for President and Vice
President on the straight-out Democratic plat
form. Twenty-eight States wcro represented
by so-called delegates, and it has transpired
that large portion of these were sent to Louis
Vile in the direct interest Of President Grant.
Transportation and money were furnished to
many of the delegates by Grants minions, and
the whole thing was fostcred in the interest
of the present administration. Hon. Charles
OConor, of New York, wrote a long and in
comprehensive letter, which was adopted as
the platform. He declined to allow the use OF
his name as a candidate for President, yet, in
the face of this flat refusal, the Convention
nominated him for that position, with John
Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts,, for Vice
President. O'Conor again telcgraphed his de-
cination, and Adams refused to serve unless
OConor be induced to stand. In this dilemma,
the Convention endearored to make another
nomination, but did not succeed, and were
compelled to insist upon OConors acceptance,
by the appointment of committee to urge the
matter upon him. Without further action, the
Convention adjourned sine die,
The committee appointed to wait upon Mr..
O'Conor discharged that duty last week, and
we are in possession of his reply, wherein he
positively refuses to become a candidate. 70
this letter the committee responds, asserting
their determination to vote for him as their
choice for President of the United States, be-
ing assured that he will not feel at liberty to
refuse an acceptance of the Office, if elected,
and promising "the undivided support of the
National Democratic party"
The exposures made as to the persons COM
prising the Louisville Convention, and the in
Vulnerable instances of these men being mani
pulatcd and controlled by Grants friends and
adhercnts, together with the positive assurances
that the Radicals furnished the money and
many of the delegates, have completely upset
the calculations of the "straight-outs," and
thoroughly dsgusted nearly every honest SYM
pathizer with the movement. These facts en-,
able them to perceive the necessity ofchoosing
between Grant and Greeley, and it does not re-
quire the gift of prophecy to foretell the result
All honest and earnest Democrats will refuse
to be captured by this Radical side-show, and
will heartily sustain MIR. Greeley in November

= Political intelligence from Wisconsin is
very favorable to the Liberal cause. There is
believed to be a fair prospect of carrying the
State and electing three Conservative members
of Congress. The German Republican element
in that State has gone over in quite large num-
bcrs to the Liberal side, while the entire Dem
ocratic vote is united for Greeley and Brown.
- Reports from all parts of Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and Chic, the three debatable States
voting in October show the greatest activity on
the part of the Democrats and Liberals. Ohio
has not until recently been regarded as
doubtful State. The splendid canvass being
made there by Thurman Schurz, Irumbull,
and General Wiley, the one-legged hero, who
heads the Democratic State ticket, is having
great effect, and the friends of Greeley and
Brown are very hopeful.
= As a result of the labor which some Of the
Grant politicians are doing in the South for
his cause, it is stated that during the month of
August 700 new claims have been fled with
the Southern Claims Commission. 1t has been
shown that Grants friends, to obtain support
among the Southern people, have promised, if
they supported Grant for reelection that their
claims would be promptly paid. The large in
crease during the past month is therefore sig
nihcant.
- The Richmond Enquirer says: We will
net disguise our disappointment at the news
from Vermont and Maine Not that we have
lost confidence in the final result, but because
we had hoped that the elections in New Eng
land would give some token of a desire for re-
Cancellation and reunion in that bitter and
resentful quarter. The prejudices of the peo-
pie in that section are stronger and more deep
fy rooted than in any other portion of the
North, and we should have rejoiced to hail
Oh &C nd

beginning to melt, as the signal for general
thaw and final breaking up of the frozen cur
rents. But New England is joined to her idols,
and for the future we shall let her severely
alone"

Nominated for CONGRESS.

Hon. B. F. Perry, of Greenyille, has been
aominated for Congress by Convention OF
delegates from the various counties comprising
the Fourth Congressional District. Gov. Perry
Is before the people of Grcenville for the State
Senate, with fair prospect Of election, but he
will doubtless accept the nomination for Con-
gress, and can be elected by the unanimous
vote of the white people opposed to the Radi-
cal party. He will make vigorous campaign
against Wallace, the Radical incumbent, who
is q candidate for reelection.

To the Free Voters of Anderson County.

On mature deliberation and consultation with
my friends decline withdrawing my name rs
a candidate for Clerk of tho Court of Anderson
County, for the following reasons:
l. The Convention was composed of a small
minority of the voters of the County; in many
large townships scarcely amy votes were cast,
and in some instances no indication was made
on their tickets who they voted for.
.. am and ever have been opposed to cau-
cuscs and nominations.
3. have taken no part in the political world
for many years, and don't believe civil officer

Look to the LEGISLATURE.

All parties agree that the much-needed re-
form in our State affairs cannot take place un-
less the character and composition of the Leg
islature is greatly improved. 1t will become
apparent, when the nominations are made,
whether or not the Radical factions intend to
improve the character of our State government
by sending better, wiser and more honest men
to the Legislature. The best and most incor-
ruptible citizen of South Carolina would be
impotert as Governor were he obliged to con-
tend with set of graceless scamps, like the
majority of those men charged with the duty
of making laws during the past two years.
Here, then, is the real source Of reform, in our
judgment
Can either faction of the Radical party guar
antee this reform? That portion led by Moses
will doubtless carry the majority of the negro
counties, and it is within their power to send
better men, Will Franklin J. Moses, jr., exert
his influence among the colorcd people to Sc
cure this desirable end From the nomina-
tions already made, we fear it is hoping against
hope to look for any improvement in that di-
rection. We take it for granted that Kershaw
and Aiken Counties illustrate the probable ac-
ton of the REGULARS" in this respect, and the
tickets just nominated in those counties are
simply repetition of the old members. Moses
and Melton, and the rest, who have made such
fine promises in their platform, will disclose
the real purposes of their faction by the course
pursued in making these selections, through
their subordinates, for the genuine character OF
the State government will be shaped according
to the calibre and reputation of their chosen
legislators. Unless the Moses faction seek to
improve upon the past, then all their pledges
of reformation and expressions of penitcncc for
former misdeeds amount to simply nothing
at ALL We confess to no confidence in their
pledges, but this docs not prevent us from
pointing out the way in which they can give
tangible evidence of an honest intention.
The "bolters" are not so much responsible
for the probable character of the next General
Assembly. Infinitely weaker throughout the
State, it is not in their power to do much to-
wards sending better men to make the laws.
Yet, we are convinced that in few counties,
Mr. Tomlnson and his party will triumph over
the REGULARS" In other counties, where the
"botcrs" can maintain the balance of power
between the Moses crowd and the anti-Radical
element, they will become responsible for the
direction in which their vote is cast. There
fore, to the extent Of their influence on the
coming election, be it great or small, the ''True
Republicans" are alike amcnable to the coun-
try for the composition of our prospective law
makers Arc they preparing to WELD that in
fuencc for the good of the State? We are not
able to judge from their public actions, and shall
await with interest any further developments

TrE YOUNG MEN FOR GREELEY.

The young men all over the country are
rallying under the banner of honest Horace
Greeley. The following will show the state
of feeling ia the New Englsnd States, which
is but repetition of other sections. The
extract is from Washington letter:
"a prominent Radical official from New
Haven received letter to-day from his son.
who, after some reference to private matters,
spoke incidentally of politics in the State,
and mentioned that nearly ell Of the young
men there who were to vote for the Grst time
this fall announced themselves for Greeley
and Brown. This statement led the official
to mention the fact to other gentlemen from
New Hampshire, and it then appeared that
they had similar sdvices and farther in
quiry developed the fact that like condition
of things existed in other of the New Eng
land States. The letters of MeSsrs Sumner
and Banks are supposed to be producing
this effect all over New England, and Rsdi-
cal ofhce-holders are beginning to inquire
whether it is not necessary for them to make
some great exertion even in New England
to stem the tide that ia evidently setting
against them there. Also in all the depart
ments here are many more Greeley men
than the Republican Committee is willing to
credit. They, of course, do not say any
thing, because, in spite of the boosted civil
service reform, they would quickly lose their
places if they gave uttersnces to their senti
ments. In order to retain their Offices they
make contribution when requested TO do so
in voluntary way but they say they are
taxed more heavily under the voluntary sys-
tenn than they were when it was considered
matter of course that they should contrib
ute for political purposes"

Inc chicago IFtOune makes some good
points on the Chicago Times, as follows:
The Times, having hated Grant as a Gen.
eral, Unfortunately m4ligned him as 3
President, whether right or wrong, and
loudly demanded that the Democratic party
should take the new departure and nomin-
etc Republican in order TO defeat Grant;
after having coaxed aud cuddled the Gin
cinua:i movement, and claimed TO be its
very Pope and chief; and after cuding
at first tc denounce Greeley solely on the
plea that he could not unite the Democratic
party in his favor ard would not draw d
heavy Republican support; and then pre-
tending that the Louisville candidates might,
BY general change Of popular feeling, be
elected 1T now gets down so low in the
mud as to concede that the LcuilviIle
machine is mere feeder TO the Grant mill,
and that i; only aims to draw eff votes
enough from Greeley to elect Grant. Could
any political spostasy be mesner or more

The result in North Carolina, the frat
State which opens the campaign, is now
pretty definitely sscsrtAined. Is it not sat
isfactory to the friends of Mr.. Greeley ?
Here is what this State has done.
Elected Greeley House of Representa-
tives.
Elected a Greeley State Senate.
Elected Greeley United States Sena-
tor.
SELECTED FIVE Greeley Representatives in
Congress to three for Grant.
Elected a Greeley Lieutenant Governor.
The vote for Governor is so close that it
will require the Official canvass to settle who
has the msjority on the face Of the returns
If the Grant candidate is chosen it is BY
notorious frauds. The Office will be contest
ed before the Legislature, and Merrimon
will obtain it. We are sure of everything
in the old North State, and particularly &C
of ten Presidential electors in Novemb bel
who will vote for Greeley and Brown. -Four
years ago this State gave Grant 1000 ma
jority. Last year it gave nearly 10000
majority for the Republicans Il has there
fore, been triumphanty redeemed, over the
frantic efforts of Grants friends. Our
friends throughout the country should. every
where, FIRE hundred guns over this brllian
and substantial triumph.
