Lively Scene in n South Carolina
Convention.

A correspondent Of the New York
Times thus Describes Fcene in the late
South Carolina Republican Convention
to nominate delegates to the National
Convention in June:
"Then Judge "Tom" MaCkey, white
man, was recognized, and, speaking in
voice which rose above the din about
him and defed all opposition, he said :
"Gen,lcmcn OF the Convention, the only
question before us at this time is whether
the respectable and honest minority OF the
Republican party OF this State headed by
Gov. Chamberlain, shall obtain their
rights, or whether they shall be deprived
Of those rights by men whom | now dc.
nounce, in The presence Of high heaven,
as the thieves aud rascals who have
brought disgrace aud shame upon the
party in South Carolina" As these words
ivf, Judge Mackey's lips, State Senator
Swales, negro man and native OF the
State, who stood just beside him, and not
five iect from the table where tho repre-
sentatives Of thep press were seated asked,
"To whom do you apply that language,
Judge Mackey% 10 you, sir, for one"
was the reply. "You are one OF the
thieves of South Carolina" "iou
are liar" was Swales' answer.
At this roint crowd of the
delegates rushed between the two speak.
ers. Among the rest was Elliott, the ne
gro Speaker Of the Assembly, who, stand
Ing directly in front Of Mackey, and look
ing straight at him, said, "Do yon mean
to sny that the majority Of the delegates
here arc thieyes% Quick as thought
came Mackey's answer, u mean to say
that there is band OF public robbers in
South Carolina, and that you, sir, are
their chief" Elliott's black face became
pale with rage, and without word he
drew his revolver. This was the only sig
nal which seemed to be needed, and In
an instant half dozen pistols were out
Three or four newspaper correspondents
who were directly in the way OF the com
batants held them back for moment
and until they were more eiiectually sep
arated by number Of the cooler dele
gates. None OF the pistols were dis
charged, but both Elliott and Mackey
were severely shaken by the crowd which
separated them. Elliott's wife, who wa
in the ladies' gallery, seeing the pistol'
drawn, rushed screaming through the
hall, Other women followed her exam
pie, and what with yeIls Of the maddenet

A QUESTION FOR DEBATE.-out at
Philippi, in Barbour county, the famous
place where the war commenced, the fol-
lowing question is set for debate at the
next meeting OF the Philippi Literary
Society, viz "Resolved that uncducated
Ministers arc injurious to the cause oil
Christianity"
This identical question has been more
or less discussed by some of the leading pa
pers Of the country since the Moody and
Sunkey revivals began. The New York
Sun had an elaborate leader on the sub
cct a few days ago. and so had the
Chicago Tribune. The question was asked,
what Ia the secret Of Moody's power
% preacher? Why ia 1t that none
Of the learned diyincs who throng his
platform, aud who sit as listeners at his
feet, are able to move the people as he
moves themP Why is it that so many
Of them preach to half.fllCd churches :
They have learning to make their dis
courses attractive, and yet it is notorious
that even their congregations weary OF
hearing them longer than half an hour
The same people however will go and
spend an hour listening to Moody and be
interested all the time.
The conclusion reached by the Sun is
thAtvery many Of the fashionable preach
ess, So.called, do not manifest the enthu-
'iA'm that men ought to manifest who
really believe that they are sent to warn

From The Parksrsburs Times. -
1.-THE question is often asked, who will
be the Republican candidate for Congress
in this District? Wehave plenty OF good
timber for that important position; but
il has to be taken into consideration who
Ia the most available? While we admit
that Judge George Loomis and Senator
C. F. Scott would be very able Repre-
scntalives' there is, however, strong dis.
inclination existing to relieve them OF
their present State Senatorial
positions, which they fill to the
great satisfaction Of the people,
and 20 we do not see strong chances for
the nomination Of either OF them. Gov.
Stevenson would be an excellent Congress-
man, so would J. A. Hutchinson, Esp
but the question Is, could they receive us
large vote as Gen. N. Gof, Jr,, would ?
As It Is doubtful whether they could, our
impression Is that the gallant General
