A certain king, named Asmodeus, es-
tablished an ordinance by which every
malefactor, taken and brought before the
judge, should distinctly declare three
truths, or else be capitally condemned.
If, however, he did this, his life and prop
erty should be safe. 1t CHANGED that a
certain soldier transgressed the law, and

there committed many atrocities, de.

the district ascertained his haunt, he or

The County Convention.

The Democratic Convention for Charles
ton County met yesterday, and adopted reso-
lutions emphatically endorsing the Clncln-
nnti candidates and platform, and requesting
the delegates to the State Convention to
use every effort to so shape the action OF
that body as to throw the whole influence OF
the State against any nomination oy inc
Baltimore Convention other than that OF
Greeley and Brown. This action is
thoroughly in accord with the opinions OF
the Democrats and Conservatives OF tue
county, and it only remains now 70 give
effect to it by working manfully to secure
the representation OF the State in the Ma
lional Democratic Convention by citizens
who will not be overcome by the bullying or
Establishments. of the advocates OF o straight
Democratic ticket. The whole proceedings
OF the convention we're digniied, harmoni-
ous and patriotic.

too late to try that game. The blacks re-
gard the whites as Democrats, and call them
30 and treat them as such, whatever the
name by which they 60; Any movement
originating with the native whites, and car
ried ON by them, will be accepted as Dem
ocralic movement, whatever hybrid title it
enjoys. The movement for State reform
must come from the Republicans-the three
and four year old Republicans-and what
ever OF honesty and decency there may be
in that party will certainly not be repelleu
by the unmistakable willingness OF the Ola
Democracy, in both State and Natlonal
affairs to make common cause with the ke-
publcans for the purpose OF purifying anu
regenerating the government. The dlctum
OF the PA9nIc amounts TO this: ANY man
or party whom the white citizens Of South
Carolina support, or are willing to support
is ioso facto condemned to political per-
ditien
The third point made by our contempo'
rary is hardly worthy OF serious examination
1t is not by any means certain that Greeley
and Brown will be 'endorsed any way anu
it is idle to soy that South Carolina by ao'
sen.iog herself from the Baltimore ConSen'
Lion, will exert greater influence than Il
che s present. When present, she has the
weight due to the arguments and votes o.
her delegates. When absent, she can dc
absolutely nothing to aid the cause which
her people have at heart.

TERRIBLE FIGHT BETWEEN BOYS
For week OF two pastthe boys of the
rival villages of Bellaire, on the Ohio
side of the river, and Benwood, on the
West Virginia side, have been engaged
in fighting. Whenever a Beliaire boy
was found on this side of the river, he
was numerically. beaten, and when q
,Benwood boy was discovered in Bel
Iaire the fogging was repaid with in
terest. .Noilonger ago than last Satur-
day week, the boys of the two places
met on the ice and engaged in a regu-
lar pitched battle, using stones and
even pistols. Srme of the contestants
are now in the Marshall county Jail,
awaiting trial for riot On Saturday
last vast number of boys, about one
hundred and fifty on each side, met on
the ice by appointment it would seem
and engaged in most terrific fight.
Every conceivable missile was used
and several of the combatants received
cuts in the head and face. The battle
ragged with fury for about two hours,
One boy, q lad about thirteen years
old, named Furson, whose parents live
i'll Bellaire, was struck behind the ear
He fell on the ice stunned, Ina short
time he revived sufficiently to enable
him to go home. He suffered terribly
through the night, and yesterday
morning he died from the effects of
his injuries. Now that one of their
comrades has been murdered, and sew
eraI others have been badly injured,
is it not time for the authorities ten
both sides of the river to put a stop
to these boys and prevent any more
such disgraceful riots as that of Sat
urday Must they wait until other
boys are killed before stopping these
