LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Thinking letter from
the Quaker City" might be of some interest
to your readers, have concluded to give
you o few items, having spent two consecu-
tive winters here, and whilst Philadelphia is
good place to learn of human nature rs
well as science, it is not SO we'll calculated to
make Southern man feel at home, because
of want of that hospitable and Social feel
ing that we of the South look upon as an
ally of religion, and, without which, we had
rather be out of the world than in it,
especially, if we feel that we are prepared for
better life beyond.
The average Philadelphian is wide
awake, go-ahead, energetic, hurry-up fellow
has no time for much social enjoyment.
If he be professor of religion, is on the
phlegmatic order, not ardent and impulsive
like many of his denomination are further
South. He supports his pastor, has q fine
church in which to worship, and has deal
of commendable church pride. The preach
ing of the clergy, with but few exceptions, is
not of a revival character, and when they do
have revival it is quiet one. Even
Moody's and Sankey's meetings, that would
have perfectly enthused any ordinary
Southern congregation of worshippcrs, had
but little visible effect upon the one million
of persons that attended them while in this
city. Such zeal, energy and perseverance to
accomplish good is but seldom seen, as these
servants of the Most High manifested. And
as for Mr.. Sankey's singing, I never expect
to hear sweeter till hear it in heaven.
There were only about two hundred persons
of the multitudcs that throngcd to hear
them that professed conversion. The results
of their meetings were nothing like as great
as was anticipated. think the people
thought too much of them and not enough
of Him whose servants they are.
There are about 100 churches i'll this city,
and 10000 Protestant Church members,
1OO, 900 of whom are females. So out of the
500 900 souls in this large town, there are
only $4,000 male Protestant Church men,
bcrs. There are 25O,OOO adults in this city
that never attend church, and 100000 per-
SONS that are thought to belong to the despc-
rutely ,uickcct class.
There are 1000 drinking saloons, and lager
beer enough annually drank to form canal
3 feet deep, IL feet wide and II miles long.
What field for Good Templars?
The Centennial is now the theme for all
classes to discourse upon. The buildings
are quite wonderful as well as extensive.
They cover about 300 acres in Fairmont
Park, and are visited daily by tens Of thou
sands. The Main Building covers 21 acres,
the roof and body is Of iron, the foundation

Mr.. Clymer hit the nail on the head
when he said that the case Of the late Sec
retary, OF War is but the proper out
growth, the true exponent of the corrup-
ton, the extravaganza, the misgovern.
ment that have cursed this land for years
past.
The grand jury OF the District OF
Columbia have decided not to prosecute
Belknap, at least for the present, as they
have not sufficient evidence, on which to
base an indictment. If they take 1t un
again, it will be on newly discovered evi-
dence.
The Mississippi Legislature doesn't
confine its efforts for reform to the work
of funseating corrupt Republican officials,
but has rednced the pay of its own men,
bers from $500 to $500 and cut down sala-
ries generally. The saving amounts to
$35, 900 per annum.
A Washington letter says: "Gen.
Belknap will plead guilty in the Senate,
and thus long trial there will be avert
ed. A question Of jurisdiction may arise
and be argued, but it is the general opin-
ion here that the Senate will promptly
hold that it has Jurisdiction"
Caleb P. Marsh, whose payments to
Secretary Belknap have just provoked
impeachment, is reputed safe End
shrewd business man. He was for some
years the moneyed partner in the furni-
ture house of Herter and Brothers, New
York, and once before in charge OF
Tyler Davidson's business, in Cincinnati.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. c., March 9, 1876.
THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION
is the most absorbing of all questions at
this time. Whatever the needs of the
country may be, they are all held in
allegiance, or, if acted upon at all, are
only considered in their relation to the
main issue, which is, "Who shall be
President~ A careful analysis of some
two hundred papers, of all shades of
opinion, discloses a variety of choice only
equalled by that of locality, and a want
of concentration which foretells great diff
fculty in selection, with considerable
margin for log-rolling, bribery and cor
ruption. Conventions are irresponsible
bodies, unknown to the laws of the land,
and are known to have been corrupted,
hitherto, by bargain and sale in the mat
ter of Office They are likely to be sub
iected, in the near future, to similar in
Auences. I refer, particularly, to the
Republican Convention, of which, if
Grant cannot get to be the candidate, he
will certainly endeavor to constitute him
self the Warwick. And he will probably
succeed for it is easy to perceive that a
man, with all the vast patronage OF the
government in his hands, has an immeas-
urable advantage over any one else. In
the mean time, let us glance at the
REPUBLICAN AsPIRANTs.
Looking at the newspaper expression
upon the next Presidency, | find that
Roscoe Conkling, of New York, who has
hardly been mentioned, until recently, as
q probable contestant, has sprung, sud
denly to the front, and now leads his
competitors with the support OF seventeen
newspapers, while Blaine, hitherto re-
garded as the strongest man, runs neck
and neck with Hartranft, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Bristow, of Kentucky; each
having fifteen journalistic supporters
Some weeks ago, Bristow was making
tremendous headway in the Whiskey
Ring fight, and all his friends were
hoping Grant would turn him out OF the
Cabinet and retain Babcock, which would
have made Bristow formidable candi-
date for the Presidency; but Grant was
too cunning to do so foolish thing at
that time. New Hampshire Republicans
telegraphed and wrote to their represen
tatiYes here that Bristow's removal would
lose them the State. So he was allowed
to stay at least till the election of the
delegates to Cincinnati. But the facts

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

An esteemed citizen has prepared "a
plan whereby to nominate candidates, by
which the Democratic Clubs can nomi-
nate all their candidates impartially and
Justly" which is herewith submitted to
the public at his request:
"Let each Club nominate honest, COM
petent and honorable men of good char
acter to fill as many of the Offices as the
Club sees fit to nominate, endeavoring to
select men that are worthy and compe-
tent, let them live in whatever part of
the County they may. Let every Club
nominate and send up the names of the
nominees to the County Club some con-
siderable length of time before the nom
ination, SO that each and every Club may
know who are the proposed nominees,
and then let the County Club order an
election after the form of ordinary elec-
tions, to take place between such and
such hours, on specified day, in par
ticular month, and let every person vote
for such nominee or nominees as will
have to be elected in the fall elections,
every man voting at that nomination
who has enrolled his name or caused st
to be enrolled in any Democratic Club
in Anderson County, and any person not
having enrolled his name in any Club
will be allowed to vote for nominees, pro-
vided he enrols previous to his offering
to vote, and not otherwise. Every per-
son voting shall be required to vote a
full ticket, so that it may be fair elec-
tion between all the nominees; each
Club shall count the votes when the
election is over, and the President of
each Club shall select some one or two
members of his Club to carry the votes
or the result of the election to Anderson
G. Fl. the next day, in order to count up
the amount of all the votes cast at the
various Clubs, and the nominees getting
the largest number of votes shall be our
nominees in the fall elections; and no
person shall be voted for who shall be
nominated after the Clubs shall have
presented their nominations to the An
derson County Democratic Club"

OUR COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCE.
COLUMBIA, March II, 1876.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The impeachment
trial of Montgomery Moses drags its lazy
length along-the greatest farce of the
session. Three daystwo sessions day
have 80 far been spent and the mana
gers have been able to have but three
questions answered, owing to objections
on the part of defendants counsel. The
managers put up witness, and ask him
a question, (any question, no matter
WHAT and the attorneys for the defence
object to the question; this e1cites
discussion, which the rules allow to con-
tinue two hours; then the Senate retires
to deliberate, and in this deliberation
each Senator has his privilege; and thus
the farce goes on. Notwithstanding the
apparent and self-evident guilt of Judge
Moses, no one would object to him en-
ploying the best counsel he could get,
and that he should have fair trial, but
when it is universally known that Judge
Moses has debased his high Office so as
practically to deny the benefits of law to
the people of his Circuit, and all for his
personal, pecuniary gain, it is surprising,
to say the least of it, that white lawyers
will offer their services, unpaid, to keep
our dear old State writhing under her
load of corruption and infamy by pro-
tecting such men as Moses from the
clutches of the law. Were they to so
conduct the trial as to develop the truth,
there still would be no objection, even if
they should make this truth appear in
the very best light for their client, but
when they resort to petty shifts to defeat
the ends of justice, by delaying the trial
until the members of the Assembly will
have to abandon it in sheer self-defence,
then matters assume different aspect.
On Wednesday Senator Cochran's Sen
ate bill relative to the Trial Justices of
Anderson County was up in the House.
Mr.. Orr succeeded in having it amended
in some very material points. Having
secured that much, motion was then
made to strike out the enacting words,
but the motion failed by nearly strict
party vote A bill similar to this was
defeated last winter, but this time the
party was better posted. There is no
doubt but that the whole trial justice
system is wrong, and that it is in direct
opposion to the constitution, which these
very lawmakers are sworn to support; ;
and while I am at all times ready to
make any changes which would result in
benefits to the people, 1 am free to say
that the changes proposed in this bill
will do nothing of the kind. 1t bears
upon its face harmless aspect, and by
pretending to reduce expenses is apt to
deceive casual readers. But read it in
the light of the appropriation bill and in
the light of salaries paid to other Radi-

senting himself as George A. Wagner, o
member of the firm, and well known in this
community. The impostor had samples
and price lists, and offered goods at great
reduction, succeeding in obtaining orders at
various places, and forging check upon the
firm. His operations were not very e1ten-
sive, however, and the fact was soon devel-
oped that he was swindler. He offered a
position in the establishment to young
man in Georgia, which was accepted, and
the young man went down to get his situa-
ton, only to find that he had been grossly
deceived. Efforts are making to procure
the arrest of the scoundrel, which we hope
will prove successful.

The following table IS published by the

share of each County in the State appro-

year, while some get more. This is due
to the fact that the money is apportioned
to the Counties on the basis of the school
attendance. Those Counties in which
the average attendance was less than last
year do not, therefore, receive so large
