South Carolina State Convention.

A Columbia, S. c. dispatch of tho 1st,
says:
The State Democratic Convention met
to-day. Gen. John D. Kennedy presid-
ed. The platform adopted, rcaIlirms the
platform of 1876. and is in harmony with
the pledges and performance of Gov.
Hampton, and guarantees full protection
to all olasses, in the administration of
Justice. Accompanying the platform is
series of resolutions, urging unity of
purpose and activity among Democrats,
denouncng fusion with the Republicans,
and deprocating the presence of indie
pendent candidates; also strongly rec
ommcnding the fostering Of immigra-
ton, inviting people from every part OF
the globe to make their homes in South
Carolina directing attention to the rev
enuc troubles of the upper counties, ur.
ging Congress to amend the law, and
quiet the irritation, and requesting Pres
ident Hayes to grant amnesty to the H.
licit distilers. Gov. Hampton, and the
entire State officers were rcnominated
amid great applause. Coy. Hampton
and others made speeches.

What there is Left.

Hen. W. P. Grace, of Jefferson coun
ty, in letter to tho Evening Post, for
mally declines to be sacrificed on the
greenback ticket, as a candidate for gov
ernor. Out of ten officers that compose
the State ticket, all that now remains is
Secretary Of State-CHARLEs 4. Gun

That greenback dodge won't do. They

N%oNA .

Little Rock Post: We understand
that, in consideration OF the fact that
General L J. Churchill has always been
considered man of pronounced Green
back proclivitics, aud opposed to the
Adams Redfeld and other schemes, the
State Central Committee recommends
that the Greenback Labor party of the
State support him for treasurer.
What has Gen. Churchill done, that he
should be endorsed by the ring and bob
tail of the Radical party, under the
name of " Greenback- Labor Party p 1t
looks little queer. Tho General will
learn, when, perhaps, it is too late, that
it will not do to attempt to ride two hor-
ses at the same time.

D The Alma Herald wants to hear
from 7. w. Davis, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Sheriff, and have him explain
the charges made against him. By the
advice of friends, he has, until now, re.
mained silent, but, in few days, he will
make an explanation Of the whole trans
action. 1t is the same class of men that
are charging Gov. Miller with fraud and
corruption that are bowling loudest
against Tom. Davis. Both are conscion-
tious, honest men, and deserve the con.

Adrift Again.

The Greenbackers are at sea again,
without State ticket. All that is left,
now, is Chas. Il. Cunningham, of Little
Rock, the candidate for secretary ofstatc.
Col. W. p. Grace, of Jefferson county,
whose name has been floating at the
masthead of the greenback party for
governor, declines to make the race. In
answer to the question if he had any
special reason for declining, ho says:
Yes, had several While l am in
full sympathy, on the financial question,
with the Greenback party, and would
contribute anything that l reasonably
could for the education of the people on
that subject, still was unwilling to as
sumo the position for the following rea-
sons First, to assume the position would
derango materially my business arrange,
ments secondly, do not desire to be
Governor of Arkansas; and thirdly, if /
were elected to the position, coming in
as new man, do not believe that
could do the people of the State of Ar
kansas as much good in tho peculiar attl-
tude Of our State affairs as Gov. Miller
can do in tho event of his election. And
| may say that another reason is, that
tho real forum in which the financial
question will have to be discussed and
settled is tho Congress OF tho United

Fairer weather ne'er was seen,
Although the frost with blighting
power
Had withered many a lovely flower:
The white rose dropped its head and
died.
And fair Young blossoms by its side
Law withered, while the forest grew
More gorgeous with its autumn hue.
EnchaltInent, too, a mist had hung
Ger many a rock and hill had flung
A magic spell DER wood and glade :
Haunted, twas said. by some pale
shade.
O'ershadowed by a rock of grey
Which near it's base was cleft away,
A crystal stream flowed clear and
bright,
Sparkling in she warm sunlight;
In winding path it wandered on,
Ger pebbly rocks and shining stone,
Onward down it took its way,
Softly singing its wild lay,
Till in the distance one might hear
The sweet sounds fall upon the a L

Was heard the song Of the whip
