chair was thronged and packed with dele
gates. and while the roll was being catied
Quarrel took place between delegate ana
SIR. Elliott, the president Of the Convention.
What was the origin I could not discover,
but nv attention was attracted TO IL by the
exclamation of Whittemore: 6 Put up your
pistol. Mr.. President; there is going 10 De
no difficulty here"; and upon looking up
from the reporters table ] saw Elliott re-
placing in his breeches pocket what L con-
ceived to be a pistol. The other party u

mosed in the face Of SO strong and el1ectiSe
an argument as powder and lead.
MOSES NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.
Shortly after this the vote was announced
that Moses had received slx1y-hlhe-a nia'
iority of the ballots--and was from that mo-
ment the candidate for Governor or the
regular Republican party Of South Carolina,
in the election to take place on the 18th OF
October next. This announcement was re.
cciyed with the widest demonstrations OF
appIause, which continued for nearly Ten
minutes, the negro band playing Hail to
the Chief "a mostinapproprilte selectlon-
which tley followed up with Dixie ana
the delegates yelled rs loud and as bolster
orlsly as if it had been the " Star SpanGlto
Banner" When this was concluded CON-
mittee was appointed to inform Mr. Moses Vi
his nomination, aud while that committee
was absent the tall and di9nifcd form on

President: he never was long on one sac Ill
his life" This sally of this political Judge
was almost madly cheered. Senator sawyer,
District Attorney C0rbin, Collector Clark,
and all the leading rcformers, had just pre-
ccdcd Orr. and in that bolt is probably the
disruption OF the Republican party OF South
Carolina, and the first symptoms OF reform
and GOOD government for the State. There
will now undoubtedly be Il coalition with
the whites, and it is positively asserted the
State can be easily carried against Moses IN
October If that is a result of the bolt, South
Carolina will in all probability go for Gree

THE BoLTERs' CONVENTIONS
assembled this morning, j. L. Orr in the
chair. a number of delegates, principally
contestants i'll the regular Convention, were
present. Judge Orr said the movement was
exclusively Republican, and did not seek to
conciate the Democracy. He passed IN. re-
view the frauds Of the State Government,
denounced r. J. Moses bitterly; and cX-
Congressman Bowen and Others followed,
plcdging their counties to IN honest ticket.
District Attorney COrbin said that he knew
the charges made against Tomlinson in the
State Convention were false us hell. Senator
sawyer assured the Convention that Presl-
dent Grant earnestly desired thorough reform
in South Carolina, and that the heart and
pulse of the entire national Administration
beat in sympathetic movement.
