nation not exceeding fifty dollars, and at
least one third OF denomination not eX-

be allies.
dispatch from Berlin states that Russia has
proposed to the signatory powers to hold the
Congress without England, and that the powers
have rejected the proposal. The action Of Rus.

BEAUFORT, s. C., July 30.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: What has been termed by the Demo.
Gratis in South Carolina the corpse of the Re-
publican party is giving signs Of being a
pretty lively corpse, especially in the fifth
Congressional district Of that State. On Tues
day, IN the County Of Beaufort, which Is the
sea-board county in the fifth district, the Re-
publicans held a convention to nominate dele.
gates to the State aud Congressional convcn-
ton that assemblies In Columbia on the 9TH Of
August. This district is at present represented
by the Hon. Robert Smalls, who has rendered
himself particularly obnoxious to the Democ.
racy Of the State on account Of his refusal to
resign his scat and take no further part IN the
politics Of the State or nation, preferrng
thereto to stand his trial on the charges
brought against him than to purchase immu-
nifty at such price. The convention indorses
his reelection.
The platform adopted declared their unal-
terablc adhesion to the platform of the last
Republican National Convention, and ex-
pressed their belief that the President was now
trying to do right by those who so heroically
suffered in his behalf, as well as to the people
generally. They called upon the Govern OF
to step to the utmost verge of his authority
in maintaining free speech in the county OF
Edgefeld," as well rs in every other county
They condemned the retention by the United
States Government Of school farms In st.
Helena and st. Luke Parishes, and recon.
mended their immediate sale; and also the
establishment of national system of educa'
tion. They instructed the delegation TO the
State convention to support under all circum.
stances full State ticket.
At the last session Of the State Lc gislaturt
the county Of Beaufort was divided nnd the
new county of Hampton created. The new
county contains u majority Of the Democratic
vote Of Beaufort County, and although til,
Republicans have a good working majority
in the new county, the Democracy have insti
tutcd the tactics of Edgeaeld, Ellenton, ant
Hamburg, and have declared that only at tn,
peril of their lives shall Republicans frou
Beaufort County enter the new county to speal
or aid In the organization of the party there
Notwithstanding this, the convention passet
a resolution pedging them gil the aid In theil
power.
The party Is certainly not dead in several o
tho Congression districts Of the State, and i
an effort Is made by the party North to fur
nish aid comfort, and prominent speakers I,
thoroughly canvass the State aud the South
generally, quite number Of districts In thii
and other States may be saved to the party.

The several aspirants for Congress from this

has decided not to make . personal canvass Of
the district, but Messrs. Whitehead and Flick.
lin are interviewing the sovereigus In public
meetings, and defining their policy. At first
Mr.Whitehead's prospects were considered very
poor, but now II Is thought that he will de-
velop sufficient strength to compass Mr.. Tuck.

tion. II he Is unsuccessful IN securing the
nomination for himself, 1t is probable that,
like Malone, he will have the pleasure of
