Its proper power to hurt each creature feels,
Balls aim their horus, and asses kick their
heck"
Is it either just or generous for To-
pograph to distort facts and make
wrong statements apparently for the
purpose Of exciting the feelings OF the
community against the action OF coun-
Gil! Complaint was made to council that
fraud had been perpetrated on several
of our cDl0red citizens, by person
having sold them part Of the streets OF
the town, they having paid money Tor
the same. On these complaints. and
at the urgent request Of these colored
men. council ordered the survey Of the
streets referred to, as the coiored men
were anxious TO know if they had been
imposed upon.
it was found that three houses were
built in the street and from twenty
to eighty.three feet in depth by -
feet in width of the street was fenced
in and occupied by these men. An ex-
animation of their deeds showed there
had been conveyed to them only the
quantity of laud lhe seller had per-
feet right to convey. Their error was
caused by taking it for for granted
their lines ran to the north line OF Bay
street, instead of 10 the north side OF
8 street. So far, at least, these col
ored III, who desired and urgently re-
gu stcd this survey have not been dis.
Lurbcd in any iaaurcr.
The ordinance referred to rs being
threatened to pass is simply an inven-
ton of TopogTaph's, nothing OF the
sort being thought OF or proposed.

Of the streets have been occupied for
forty years. Sc. &C., settles iise!f, as
any lawyer would have told him un-
disturbed posst ss'on of property for
forty yeals gives the occupant title by
pre- scfplivu. hence such cases are be-
yond the reach Of council. ASfor more
recent encr achments on the streets, it
would be well if Topograph, before

Special Dispatch to The REPUBLICAN.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION
The Nominations.
GRANT EENOMINATED.

The Philadelphia convention, as all
who have watched its manufacture,
have expected, has renominated Grant.
The President just as much owned the
convention as though it had been an
other present, as indeed it was, from
office holders. There is not now. nor
was there ever, the least enthusiasm
for Grant among the people. The
Great Office holder and Office. seeker
has simply been nominated by con-
vention Of ofce-holders and office
seekers. We repudiate the nomina-
ton, and believe it will meet with a
defeat more thorough than has ever
been experienced by a presidential
ticket
Its success would be a victory Of all
that is selfish, mean and degrading in
politics. The influence of Grant upon
public and private morality has been
great and pernicious, but we trust not
so wide spread as to thoroughly vitiate
the conscience Of the people.
The election ofGrant would strength
en- every Incompetent, reckless, dis
honest ad9enturer and scallawag who
has been lifted into place and power by
the social and political upheaval Incl
dent to reconstruction in the South.
Such wretchcs would feel themselves
backed up by the success of similar
elements in the North, and some who
are now quaking in view of speedy
and deserved retribution would be en-
couraccd to sturdy effort for reten-
iiou Of their ascendancy.
1t may be that the Developments Of
the next sixty days will convince the
Republican party Of the ectssity of
presenting another candidate five are
obliged to choose between Grant and
Greeley, we will uDhesitating'y support
the latter, as better man and a letter
r publican. Should the Dtmoc ats
make a straight nomination cur course
will probably be affected by it.

~ ANENDETGMARSHAL WALLACE.

We are glad to be informed that the
report, freely circulated in the State
papers, Of tee appointment of the in
famous Bud Williams as deputy [. $
marshal is untrue. His employment
in connection with the arrests in Ge0r-
gia is said TO be by direction Of the |.
). district attorney. In that case Will
iams seems to have acted with his
usual consistency, first forging an or
der TO arrest his own cousin and then
leaving Hendricks in Tie lurch TO bear
the brunt Of the viilany. Mr.. COrhin,
we think there has been cn ough of this
fellow. Get tWist on him and hang
him. At all events, get some other
tool. lit Is only by such means that
ku kluX can be arrested ard Con7iC-
led We advocate the shooting Ct them
on sight by the soldiers, without trial.
That.wou,d be dospotic, but rot so DIS,
graceful or subyers;ve Of all respect for
the law and its officers, as continu-
auce Of methods of obtaining evidence
reminding US strongly OF the English
State trials before J-tlreys. There are
other incidents connected with these
trials, with reference TO the compost
ton Of the grand and petit juries, which
show a macA stronger desire to obtain
convictions than to obtain justice.
These may be spoken Of in future

in another column that the county
commissioners refuse to recognize the
order of the Governor reinstating Mr.
Langley in tie office ofschcol commits

there is no vacancy. The commission
Of Mr.. Robertson reads that he is ap-
pointed to fill tie unexpired term Gf
Mr. Langley. and Mr.. Langley's reads
that he is to fill the unexpired term OF

thought that Mr. Robertson must die

Meat Markets.

In Charleston, and even in.Co!umbia
no meat is permitted to be scll after
nine O'Clock during the summer
months. In Beaufort the spectacle of
meat hanging all day in the hot air,
black with flies and dust, is presented
TO the passer on the street. 1t is not
only disgusting to the eye but to the
stomach. But; what is Of much great
er Importance, meat thus exposed
at such temperature as that of last
week is almost sure to become unfit for
food. We trust our town council OF
board of health will order the sale
to be regulated to an hour not later
than nine o'clock IN the morning.

The House Committee on Commerce has
agreed to Mr. Shellabarger's Steamship Subsi-
dy BILL 1t authorizes contracts to be made for
lines from New York to England and the Con-
tinent of Europe, Mexico, San Francisco, Aus
tralia and other places, the Government to pay
ten dollars ton per annum for five years to an
extent not exceeding five hundred thousand
tons. The bill also allows the same tonnage
bounty to lines already subsidized. The COM
mittee consented to the introduction of an
amendment in the House, providing that i'm
portant materials used for the construction of
said ships shall be free from duty, or where
Americans materials are used an amount equal
to the duty shall be allowed. The bill will be
reported next week.

AT Berlin and elsewhere on the Continent,
the English assembled yesterday in their
churches and held thanksgiving services for the
recovery of the Prince of Wales. A special
dispatch from Bombay states that the Governor
and officials attended the Cathedral in that
State. The Parsees assembled in their tenn
pies, the Jews in their synagogues, the Hin
docs in their temples, and the Mahometans
and other religious sects in their places Of wor-
ship, and offered thanks according to their va
rious rules for the recovery of the English
Prince. Thanksgiving services were held in
Exeter, Windsor, Leicester, Edinburgh, Hen
ley, Oxford, Cambridge, and Jersey, and, gen.
orally, in all the cities and towns of Great Britain
heard from. How strange it seems, even yet,
that we should be reading, to-day, the account
of a Thanksgiving Celebration in Bombay yes

DEMONSTRATION IN LoNDoN.-The cable
dispatches bring full accounts of the demon
stration in London yesterday Of thanksgiving
for the recovery OF the Prince of Wales. The
procession escorting the Queen and royal FAM
ly moved from Buckingham Palace amid the
roar of artillery, ringing of bells, and chorus
of thirty thousand children. The great bodies
Of the kingdom were represented, and all the
best regiments of the army furnished detach-
ments. AS the Prince and Princess came in
sight the immense assemblage of spectators be
gan to cheer, and the cheer increased to
mighty roar when the Queen appeared The
Journey to the door of the Cathedral was con-
tinued ovation. There appropriate services
took place, and the Archbishop of Canterbury
delivered the sermon. He remarked upon its
having been said that loyalty was dying out,
and alluded pointedy to the evidence that was
then being given of its being alive and stead
fast. The best estimates placed the number
OF spectators who witnessed the procession al
four millions.
