From the Washington Chronicle
The nominat tion of Chamberlain
for Governor of South Carolina does
cot meet with a hearty endorsement
of the entire Republican party Of that
State, and those favoring complete
political reform refuse to accent him
AS an earnest of rcformatory intent.
Should the boilers develop any con.
siderable strength, oall n convention,
and nominate an honest, straightfor-

Of reform. a convention is called
for October 9 by tho bolters, at
