The King Of Brazil, Dom Pedro,
now on a visit to this country, is the
first ruling sovereign, excepting the
King of tho Sandwich Islands, that
has ever visited the limits of the
United States. The enlightened and
liberal monarch Of vast empire like
Brazil should receive that attention
and honor, every where, while in this
country, that is due to his dignity.
1t would soom that he is travelling
ovor tho country to gain information
and a knowledge of our country and
institutions, and therefore, he loses no
time. Lie, after landing in Now York
and visiting all the places in this great
metropolis, has determined to visit
San Francisco.
After the opening of the exhibition,
he will mako tour of the States
East of the Mississippi, and as far
North as Montreal. Therefore, those
who shall not be fortunate enough TO
attend tho Centennial. may chance to
got glimpse of the King, if he visits
this State.

The State Democratic Convention.

The State, Democratic Convention,
which assembled in Columbia last
Thursday, was largely composed of
the first and very best mon of the
State A temporary organization was
effected by calling Col. d. Wyatt
Aiken, of Abbeville, to the Chair
General Kershaw was elected perma-
mont President, whom the Convention
went regularly to work. Want OF
space prevents us giving full ac-
count of tho proceedings in this issue,
but we will endeavor to publish them
in our next. When the Convention
first met, it was feared by many that
thore was wide difference of opinion
existing amongst the delegates as to
State policy, which might eventu-
ally prove disastrous to the cause of
honesty and good government; but
after free and full conference and
interchange of views and ideas as to
the desires of the Democrats of each
county, it was found that the people
were of one opinion-and that was to
wage a vigorous and uncompromising
warfare against Radicalism in tho
State. 1t was manifest that there
was determination to present solid
organized front to the enemy next
fall, on what ever line of policy might
bo adopted. The Convention closed
its proceedings harmoniously, and we
arc gratified to know that thorough
and complete organization of the
party in every section of tho State is
to be speedily effected.
There were thrco colored delegates
in the Convention from the County Of
Sumpter, and in speech one Of them
made, ho declared himself in favor of
straight Democratic fight. There
are, we learned through the dologa>
ton, as many colored men enrolled
in the Democratic Clubs in Sumptcr
as there are whites, and it is evident
that q considerable portion of tho col
orod voters arc going TO ally themselves
with the Democracy in overy portion
of the State. We were much pleased
with the whole proceedings, and
gathered the assurance that brighter
and moro propitious day for South
Carolina is in the near future. Tho
following are tho delegates elected to
the st. Lous Convention, and tho now
State Executive Convention:
| Delegates from the State at largo
General John Bratton, Of Fairfield;

this WAS impossible, as he did not, at

to send proper communication to
this paper, if they only comply with
one simple rule, which is to let the
name accompany it. We do not de-

the real name for publication, but as a
