IaE FRENCH SIrCATIoN.-Ther resul.
OF the elections in France. for the
Councils General, on the 4th of Octo.
Der, indicate that 800 !Oonser vatives
and 500 Republicans were chosen, a
Conservative gain Of twenty. fn 100
places there was no choice, and SO.
cond ballot will be required. There
seems to bo no special reason for dis.
couragement to the Republicans.
though the Bonapartists have exhi-
bited unusual activity during the re-
cent elections, and seem to have been
allowed to work the old electoral ma
chinery Of the empire without any hin.
drance. Reruscitated imperialism is
what the French republic has most 10
dread, the devotion to tie family OF
the Corsican adventurer amounting in
some Of the ignorant localities Of
France to religion. Al the came
time, fortunately, perhaps, for TIE
country, there seems to be an irrepa.a.
bic breach between the two branches
OF the house Of Boaaparte, as repre-.
sented hy the Prince Napoleon and tho
Prince Imperial. AT Ajaccio, the
home Of the first Napoleon, an is
sue was made between the two, aid
the Prince Napolean vas defeated, al
q Bonaparte, more loyal to the Prince
Imperinl, elected. In view Of this iii.
vision among the Bonapartists, and
the large Republican vote that has
been cast. it is thought that if Mac.
Mahon would place himself at the head
of the Republican movement, lie
might fovnl o permanent conserva-
tive republic. There is no reason,
however, to expect that MacMahon
will be the Washington Of France.
Perhaps he may be satisfied that
France needs C:e ,ar N ore than q
Washington.

In u Nutshell,

fn speech delivered few days sgo
at one Of the Kershaw Tax Unions,
Gen. Kershaw stated that the question
OF the Civil Rights bill had nothing to
do with our present political necessity
that it was as an honest Republican
We wanted Judge Green, and not as a
member OF onr political party; It was
his "policy" in the special question OF
State reform, and not his politics we
we're after; that without the Civil
Rights bill. he was no Republican in
South Carolina, and nnless he was q
Republican in good standing with biz
party. he was useless to ns. That to
tell about "a clear ticket" was simply
to register defeat in advance. II we
played ct all, it was our duty to play
to win, preserving our own political
honor through it all.

HEALTHY DWELLING HoCSES.-Iu O

are due exposure to fresh air and

1, is not generally known fact that
nearly 200 people in New York city
rise at dsybreak for the purpose Of re-
pairing to the slaughter houses and
drinking the warm Blood OF animals.
These people are not vampires, but
consumptives, who ind in the blood
tie means of prolonging existence.
One lady, who has followed the prac-
lice Of drinking warm blood for save-
rai years. contends that it has pro-
lcnged her life fifteen years, ard has
become AZ absolute luxury. At .rst
tho taste is said to be repulsive, but,
subsequently,. the desire for the en-
sanguined fluid becomes if.cnsc, and
its good effects make it commeuduale
to invalids. Tie Irish pcasautry are
very fond OF baked blood. which is
placed in large shallow pans and baked
until it is Drowned. It is notorious
that consumption is disease almoat
unknown among these people, and,
perhaps, Felpeau and other famous
physicians who have recommended
the drinking Of blood, lave taken tue
hint from tue baked blood Of the Irish
peasants.

IHE QCAARES AMONG THE INDIANS -
The Society Of Friends (Quakers) Of
Indiana held their annual meeting 1T
Richmond. in that State, on Tuesday.
A committee on lnilian aft airs reportt Il
the condition of their work among the
aborigines on the border. The COM
mittee had visited many Of the Indian
agencies, and derived knowledge con-
taincd 10 their report from personal
observation. The great obstacle. to
Indian civilization seem to be: FIRST,
the prejudice of race, which has been
greatly intensified by the general
treatment received By them from white
men. Second, their atrong adhesion
TO the traditions and cns.one Of their
forefathers. which they regard as of q
sacred character. Third, with some Of
tile tribes .ov;rg habits pscvcu: 3
regular application Of the Influences
OF civilization. Fourth, lon-enforco-
meDt of the law permitting the intro.
duction Of whiskey, stealing Of their
stock and the destruction OF gnme
upon their reservations. Fifth, su
perttition or unenlightencd religious
ness
The committee further state that or
ean;2ad bands Of horse thieves hayo
done "u extensive business in raidins
upon the stock of tho Indians. Hunt.
ers, in open disregard Of law and OF the
promises OF tho Government to the In.
diars, have slaughtered thousands
upon thousands Of buffAloes upon the
reservations. Whiskey pedlcrs have
piled thoir wretched vocation, and the
combined influence Of these classes Of
trespasscs has at last provoked the Iu.
diaus to retaliation, so that cousidera-
bic numbers Of them have determined
to drive from their reservations oil
White persons not lawfully resident
thereon. They rightly consider it the
dn'y OF the agents, as officers Of the
Government, to protect their rights,
and Justly compinin because this pro.
lectlon is not afforded. They urge a

A nIistnke Made on Purpose.

The Union. Herald, in it's report OF
the proceedings of the Conservative
Convention. gives the preamble and
the first and second resolutions
reported by the COMMITTEES and
adopted unanimously by the Conven.
sicn correctly. In place of the third,
which was in the following language
"ReSoloei. That we adopt as the plat.
form of the Conservative party of
South Carolina honesty and economy
in the administration of the State 20.
yernment." it substitutes this: "Rs-
sotred, That we adopt the platform OF
the Republicau party OF South Caro-.
lina." It is impossible to conceive of
any other way by which so gross O
Misrepresentation Of the action of the
Convention could have been made,
than by design. The accuracy shown
IN one portion Of the resolutions, CON
oiuslVely demonstrates the mischievous
purpose aimed at by the false report OF
she othe. and tor this reason, the
resolutions must have been copied, and
no copy contained the resolution which
is paraded in the Union. herald. Sacn
"ords were neither written nor spoken
that day by any member of the Con.
vontion. 1t is plain, then, that thew
~sre invented, out and out, and with
design deliberately placed where they
could not possibly have been placed by
any honest mistake.

Heretofore. the order of succession
to the throne Of Turkey has followed
q peculiar law of Inheritance. The
crown goes by seniority, not t, the
oldest child of the reigning Suit. mi
to the Oldest male descendant of tho
House of Otham, the founder of the
Empire. sprung from tie imperial
harem. An uncle or cousin of greater
age than the Oldest son Of the Su!tun
would, by this order Of succession,
ascend the throne. The presen. Sal.
tan, Abdul Aziz. is on example of this
ir.egularity. His predecessor and
brother, Abdul-MedIid, left fourteen
children. the oldest BEING son twenty
one years of age, who, instead Of sue
ceeding bis father, was compelled to
give way to- the elevation Of Lis una!e.
While this sort of law OF succession
was good thing for Ablul-Aaiz. as
heir to the Sultanship, be views it IL q
different light at this day. when he is
IN power. A despatch from Vienna
announces that he is taking steps TO
break this order OF inheritance BY ar.
ranging for the succession OF his son,
regardless OF the rightfui claimant.
What was sauce for him is not sauce
for Yussif Izzedin Eifcndi, his oldest
boy, born in 1857. The heir presun mp
tive, under the imnemcrial rule, is tie
Sultan's nephew, Mohamme;i Murad
Efendi, born in lS4G.

The Interest and xveIrnre or tho State.
The action Of the Conservative Con-
vention, which adjourned Thursday
evening, was characterized by most
gratifying unanimity. As stated by US
yesterday morning, the conclusion had
been reached before the Convention
met. Coming together with fixed
purpose, the delegates had only to de-
termiue the best mode and to select
she proper Language in which it should
be announced. Under such circum.
stances there were no subjects of de.
bate or discussion, and, as natural re-
suit, unusual dignity, deoorum anu
determination we're impaired to its de-
iberations. Following the sugges-
tions OF the sagacious Kershaw and
the thoughtful Perry, and obeying
those convictions and instincts which
every member felt to be authoritative
in his own breast, the Convention
abstained from making any nomina-
tions at all. It resolved that the Con-
servative citizens would best promote
the interests and welfare of the State
by giving their support to the candi.
dates already put in nomination by the
Independent Republicans. These are
not unmeaning or idle words coming
from such source. We are happy to
seoognize that considerations, affecting
the interests and welfare Of the State,
which, in South Carolina deliberative
assembly, of the right material, have
ever been paramount to personal ambi-
slon and mere party success. yet sur
yive the wreck Of so much that was
precious and valuable amongst as.
all is not lost where these sentiments
survive, and at their pure and steady
fame hope lights her torch again.
We shall cheerfnlly move on in en-
tire harmony with our Conservative
fellow citizens. as expressed in the &C,
lion Of this Convention. The times
are full OF grave and responsible du-
ties. and the immediate occasion de.
mands earnest work. and, If need be,
conscious self.sacrifce. For ourselves,
We are not disposed to chow any undue
tenacity OF opinion upon poiats that
we now regard as settled aoainst ns
Nor will we oondescend> to notice the
unjust aspersions with which We have

are pleased to see it regarded as not
inconsiderable-we shall devote here

The Buspear Of civil Rights.

The Bugbenr of civil Rights.
a good deal has been said in some
Conservative journals, and repeated in
conversation, nbout the Inconsistency
OF Conservatives sustaining tc. oaics
candidates who advocate or accept the
supplemental Civil Rights Bill. Capt.
tel has also been made OF it by Radical
newspapers and Radical speakers.
They present this plank in their plat.
form, and taunt Conservative voters as
standing upon it. They ignore and
discredit the position That they DO not
recognise questions OF party politics at
all. They overlook the fact that this
State is satrapy, governed by men
who have murdered many OF the liber-
ties and rights of large portion OF the
people. Having reduced them to the
extremity Of seizing upon a single
principle lying Outside Ct the domain
of partisanship, that, namely, Of ho-
uesty and economy in the administra-
tion Of the State Government, they re-
lentlessly pursue them even there, and
strive to prevent their use OF this sol.
tary plank to escape from their peril
Gus condition. AS they have manu-
factured artificial ontrages. so they
now are busy in constructing artificial
issues. But the public mind will re-
fuse to regard their insidious sophis-
tries, The design is abundantly a.,-
parent that they mean to deceive and
mislead. Conservatives have, before
to-day, for peace's sake, and in the
hope OF securing better government,
been willing to support Republicans
whose character and professions gave
assurance That they had put away hos
tility against the people. and repud,-
ated the leadership of organized politi-
cal brigands. Men who voted for Car
penter and Tonalinson ior Governor Of
this State, for Horace Greeley for Pre-
sident, did not change their princi-
pies. These men represented the po-
licy OF conciliation, and on that &C.
count deserved support IN their day.
The Conservative people of this State
cannot be bullied or ridiculed into the
belief that there is any. question Of
civil rights which will enter into the.
canvass for Stale officers. They have
but to consult the statute books TO see
that they have had civil rights in full
sway here for several years. If they
vote for Republican at all, it ie not
because he advocates civil rights, or is
opposed to initiation Of the currency,
or favors system of internal improve
ments, or desires third term for Pre-.
sidert Grant, or makes any other pro-
fessions on one side or the other Of
political questions, but simply because
he is Just, honest and capable, and
means we'll by all classes OF the people.
They have nothing to DO with his party
relations. They are more likely to con-
6de in him in matters which concern
them and good govern mcnt in the
State, if he stands Firmly by his poiiti-
cal opinions, whatever they are.
