The Charleston Neacs and Curriers' re-
porter says of the late South Carolina Repub-
lican convention: "The only marked feature
of change, perhaps, was perceptible deepen
ing in, the color of the assembly, as there
we're fewer whites or comparative whites and
more pure blacks than ever before. Among
the few we'll known whites that were present
we're Bowen, Taft, Mackey, Ostendorff, Tom
Johnson, Fillebrown and Sheriff Wilson, OF
Beaufort, whose white faces shone out In con.
spicuous relief against the dark body of Their
political companions somewhat as the heads
Of silver screws shine on particularly black
coffin. The Hobbies and stairs, and halls be-
low and above stairs, were filled as before
times with o crowd OF colored constituents
more of purely sradikil convenshun, and ali
the host were earnestly engaged in animated
discussion of the questions Of the hour"

Recent State trials in Russia have show

Recent State trials in Russia have shown
that young people OF the highest rank of both
sexes have become Nihilists, and assuming
the costume of peasants and artisans have
gone out from st. Petersburg and Moscow and
endeavored to interest the working people in
the new ideas. On July Is two agents of the
secret police, while tracking some Socialists
who were believed to have formed an illicit
association in the outskirts Of Riga, were set
upon by several of the conspirators. The
gendarmes, finding themselves outnumbered,
drew their reyolvers, and one Of them being
knocked down, fired three shots at his assail
ants, Who thereupon severely wounded him
with their knives. In the end, assistance hay
ing arrived, the Socialists took to flight, leaving
one of their number on the ground in q dying
condition. He was at once removed to the
hospital together with the wounded gendarme.

1t is limited that President Hayes Is evident
j. In favor Of war with Mexico, and 1T Is
even asserted that In less than three months
hostilities will be actually begun. Gen. Henry
Heth, an Confederate General Of note, and
likewise West Pointer, is now in Texas,
watching the tide Of affairs in this ,connec-
ton, and he, like Gen. Maury and others, is
willing to 60 into the war. The people Of
Texas are burning with a desire to finish
their little differences with Mexico. A war
with Mexico would be a popular measure, SO
munism is being talked OF in some States. 1t
is argued that such a measure will unite the
whole country, will do away with the threat
ened labor troubles, will give employment to
many unemployed, and will settle the Mexi-
can question finally. This intelligence, start
ling as it is, certainly must have some weight
when 1t obtains credence among such old sol
diers as Gems. Maury and Heth.
