In the evening. the Convention proceeded
to the selection Of State officers. The Hon.
D. 7. Corbin was nominated for Govern
or, but declined. The Hon., Reuben Tom
linson was then nominated, and this was Sc
condod by General W. J. Whipper and w.
r. Jcrvey. The Hon. G. G. Bowen was al
so put in nomination. Mr. Bowen returned
his thanks, and slated that he asked nothing
for himself. His only desire was to present

strength, and therefore would decline in ia
vor of Mr. Tomlinson. ... ...E
Mr.. Tomlinson was then by vote of the
Convention, nominated by acclamation, as
the candidate for Governor of South Caro-
lima.
8 ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Mr.. C. G. Bowen then proposed the Hon.
John T. Green, of Sumter, as the proper
person for Attorney. General, and as one
whose honesty and character could not be
questioned, and who would bring great
strength to the movement. This was sup
ted by Mr.. Samuel j. Lee, (colored,
who said Judge Green was and is native Of
the State and a graduate Of the South Caro-
lima College. Before the late war he was
Representative in the State Legislature
During the war, Notwithstanding he was
recognized as Union man, the confidence
in his integrity was such that he was retain
ed in the Legislature by the popular vote OF
the people. Since the close Of hostllities he
had advocated the Reconstruction Acts, and
this had been confirmed by the unanimous
vote of the Republican party, speaking
through their representatives. Lis whole
heart was in sympathy with the movement
Aware of the corruption which had existed
for years, he was determined to put down
the corrupt Ring and all concerned, so as to
obtain vital peace and redemption. This
movement must succeed There should be
Il long pull and strong pull to eject the IN
truders and the spectators of the Republican
party.
A colorcd delegate from York, then arose,
and nominated Judge Melton, as one against
whom no finger had ever been raised, and
who had been an ornament to the bench,
and had discharged his duties fairly and

General Whippcr expressed the hope that
the Convention would unanimously endorse
the nomination of John II. Green. MIR. e.

the weapon. The ball, which was q
large one, passed through the body,

cut, death would have been more
rapid. News Of the suicide was brought
to town, but no officer went out to
hold IN inquest. johnson Is repre-
sented as having been a very affee-

he was made insane BY the death ofhis
wife. Some say that she owned pro-
perty In Pennsylvania, where she has
children BY a former marriage. and
that she had made a will which the

was refused him. An inquest should

On Sunday afternoon four young
men hired a boat at Long Briggs 70
take a sail on the Bay. Ono OF them
had a young sister with him. and per-
suaded her to remain on the bridge, as
he would only sail across TO Mission
Rock, and have her In sight all the
time. The Door little girl watched the
course Of the boat, which, instead OF
going toward the rock. was driiting
toward Goat Island. She waited lor
several hours; her brother failed 70 re-
turn, and with a heavy heart she re-
turned home to tell the sad tale to the
family. Nothing was heard OF the
boat and crew till yesterday morning.
The boat was carried out Of Its course
by the tide, was caught In o squall,
and capsized nearly opposite Goat
Island. Two of the men were saved
by hanging on to the capsized boat,
and were picked up BY a passing YES
sci. The other two, Thomas Murray
and John Kelly, both about twenty
one years of age, were drowned. Ihey

EDUCATION In Scotland, It Is assert
ed, Is not nearly so general as Is COM
monty supposed. The commander OF
company Of Scottish militia raised nom
operatives earning good wages, stated
recently that out Of eighty-two pri-
Yates forty-six signed with marks In
receipt for their monthly pay, and, OF
the remainder, eighteen could evident
" only mako out to write their names.
These facts are contrasted with the re-
port made In 1868 by a Colonel Of o
regiment Of one Of the minor German
States, In which out Of eight hundred
private, only four could not read. In
Edinburgh, in 1869, oil examination Of
sixty-one young factory operatives
showed that only seventeen, or twenty
eight per cent, could read and write,
nine could read only, eighteen could
read fairly and write a little, and sew
enteen could do neither. In 1871 an
examination Of one hundred young OPP
eratives showed that forty-nine could
read and write, twenty-six conld only
read, eight could read fairly and write
q little, and twenty-seven could dc
neither. It Is stated that in the rura'
districts Of Scotland, where parish
schools are still kept up, the agricultu
raj laborers arc better educated thar
the same class In England, but that Ii
tho largo towns and cities the children
Of the operatives arc neglected.

The Fire Department at Florence,
Italy, according to the sculptor, Hiram
Powers, consists Of ten men, three
equipped with pipes, four with buckets,
and three with small brass fire extin-
guishers. Very little occasion Is found
for the services Of these ten t1remen, as
all the floors and ceilings of the houses
In Florence are protected with brick
tiles. In Mr.. Powers house there are
no joists, and a. room 20 feet square
has an arched ceiling Of tiles which
was laid by four men In four days.
These floors covered with tiles, IL Is

ton of work.

rFrom tho Recotd Of the asd.l

from tho Record OF the zod.J
All along the limo Of the Western
Pacific Railroad farmers are busily I'D,
gagged In preparing their grounds for
Seeding. The drought-stricken "trip
country along the San joaquin river
was mostly summer-fallowed, and the
grain now looks finely. The soil In
that region Is such that IL can be plow-
ed at any season Of the year, and as o
large breadth Of land has been sown,
the farmers there will be likely to re-
trIeye their losses by drought during
the last two seasons. Along the cattle
ranges In the San joaquin bottom, can
be seen the skinned carcasses Of many
cattle that succumbed to the rigors Of
the storms and the inconvenience Of
short nations.
While the Japanese are being exten-
sively lionized and feted in San Fran
cisco, no preparations have been made
for extending to them any courteslss
In Sacramento. They will probably
visit the Capital next week, and. &C
cording to present appearances, Will
have an opportunity to rest awhile af-
ter the rounds Of Inequalities extend
ed to them in the commercial city.
Among the passengers eastward,
yesterday, was Governor Bradley, Of
Nevada. He has been OIL o visit to his
old friends In San Joaquin.
Tho train from the East, yesterday,
brought a few delayed passengers and
Q small Eastern mall.
From the Union Of yesterday
The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany are putting In position at their
works north Of the slough two add.
tional boilers, Of the same size rs those
now In use, to generate steam for the
large engine which furnishes motive
power for the machinery Of the shops.
They are also putting up III the black
smith shop a bloom furnace, for the
purpose Of utilizing all the old pieces
Of scrap-iron that may accumulate.
On top Of this furnace there Is q steam
boiler, which can be heated by the
heat from the surface, or independent
Of 1t. A new piece Of machinery In
the machine shop Is n Intended for
the bending Of holsters for cars. Here
tofore this has been q lengthy job, but,
with the machine spoken Of, the Iron,
after being heated In the proper places
In a furnace, Is by n or two blows
shaped as required.

en- mills will probably start up again
about the LIST OF March. Negotiations
are being conducted for tho procuring
Of additional machinery and a corps OF
workmen from the East.

Tho ~Japnnesses.

The San Francisco Bulletin gives the
following relative to tho five young
Japanese ladies who came with the
great Embassy:
The young ladies, Misses Yoshlmas,
Onyeda, Yamagwa, Tsuda and Nagal,
who came with the Embassy, are not
Princesses, though daughters Of high,
wealthy officials, and members Of the
Japanese supper ten" The two old
est, who are about l6 years of age,
have an excellent Japanese education,
and the other three have advanced rs
far In native studies as their youth
would admit. The social position Of
the female eek among the Japanese ap-
pears to be more favorable than In
most pagan countries. The daughters
in a japanese family receive ali equal
amount Of parental care and attention
with that bestowed on the male off
spring. Nothing beyond tho commonly
prevalent pagan sentiment Of the infe-
riority OF the female operates to the
disadvantage Of women In the family
circle. Among the leading classes the
girls are taught dancing and vocal and
Instrumental music. The universal
custom Of dying the lips a deep red
color, and plentlfully besmearlng the
face with q white powder or flour
dust, IL one Of the Textures Of the ia
panese lady's toilette-in which the
American lady can so far surpass her
that a comparison would be odlous.
Our Japanese lady visitors are good
average representatives Of ladies Of the
first class, and, Of course, are unmar-
ried and disengagod. Their ladylike
demeanor has won them q host Of
friends among the American women,
who declare they r perfectly charm
ing. They are vivacious, yet self-re-
liant and dignlfled In manners. In the
ordinary mutual Intercourse Of friends
and families, tho women have their
share, according to Hawkins report In
1861, and rounds Of visiting and tea
parties arc kept up rs briskly In Japan
as In the United States. Yet tho ia
panese female Is considered by her
people far inferior to the man, and Is,
after all that may DO said, under I'M
wholesome restraint.

An interesting case In regard 10 SUR
vivorshlp has recently arisen In Con-
necticut. A man and his only daughter
were drowned at the same time at East
Haven, and the complex question has
to be decided which Of the two died
first. II the man died first his property
would have passed to tho daughter,
and thence to her heir, who is her
mother. but who has been divorced
from the father. II the daughter died
first then the property goes to a half
sister Of the father. Several other suits
have arisen out of this accident, which
was caused by the breaking down Of a
public causeway. A similar question
OF survivorship was raised many years
ago in the case Of the drowning Of a
man and his wife by the wreck Of q
steamer running to Charleston. The
rule appears to be settled, that In these
disasters the presumption Is that males
survive tho hardships longer than
females and adults than minors.
