POLITICS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
A Republican Ex-Governor's Opinion
About the Coming Campaign.

Ex-Governor R. X. Scott, of South
Carolina, is registered at the Ebbit
House, where a representative of the
PoM accosted him Just as he left The
dining room last evening, and engaged
him in short conversation.
II frequently see copies of your pa
peri, said the Governor, "and must
say say that for vim and energy it is great
improvement on any Washington jour
naiism within my recollection"
"Thank you" replied the Post, with
becoming modesty "but what do YOU
think about affairs in South Carolina p
"Well sir, have no hesitation in say
ing Gov. Hampton makes an excellent
executive. Under his administration
peace has been restored to the State
The negroes have got over their mania
for Office holding, and have gone into
the cotton and rice fields. / appreheno
that the crops of this year will compare
favorably with those Of 1860"
"Will the Republicans nominate 6
ticket, then, this fall 2"
81 think not. The negroes, who form
the bulk of the Republican party there
are disguised with politices, and being
satisfied with their treatment under
Hampton, 1 am quite sure they would
rally to his support and elect him ovel
any man whom the Republicans might
nominate. When l was Governor o.
South Carolina, my efforts in favor o.
honest government were generally
thwarted by the most graceless set o.
scamps that ever afflicted q people
Why, sir, these men have not only con
fessed to their numerous acts of villainy
but have attempted to shield Themselves
from punishment by making the mos
preposterous charges against every
honest man connected with my admin
istration. am glad to see that Hamp
ton has driven them into hiding places
Even the rice field negroes applaud hi:

"Do you expect to take an active par
in the politics of South Carolina this
fall ?"
"I don't know that I shall. 1 think
no necessity will exist for it. l support
ed Gen. Hampton in the canvass OF 1876
and will gladly do so again if any op.
position is shown to his reelection"
"What is the cause of the trouble IL
the attempt to collect the internal rev
enue in South Carolna?"
"Why, the officers of the government
are strangers to the people and take NJ
pains to instruct them"

The Republican Executive Committee
in Columbia.
COLUMBIA, S. c., May /

OOLUMDlAJ Ss Sst u1oy Aos
The corpse of the Radical party in
South Carolina opened one eye to-day
and peeped out of the abyssmal grave in
which it now lies buried, for q farewell
glance at the light of day from which it
Is so soon to be shut out forever. In
other words, the Republican Executive
Committee of South Carolina, with a
singular regard for the eternal fitness of
things, assembled this morning in Par
ker's Hall and remained in secret session
for the space of nearly or quite three
hours. It is a fact, indeed, that they
met at the same place yesterday; but
the circumstance was overlooked by the
reporters and community in general as
being a matter of very small conse-
quence, and it was by mere accident
that the fact of the presence of the con-
vention transpired to-day.
Chamberlain was not there, Scott was
missing, Dunn was absent, Nash was
minus, Hayne was non est, Whittemore
had not returned from the bedside of his
sick relative, and Leslie, Patterson, Hur-
ley, Gleaves, Cass Carpenter, Smalls,
Woodruff, Kimpton, Corbin, Stone, Sam
my Green, Moses, and many Others,
equally we'll and unfavorably known,
failed to answer to their names when the
very long roll was called; but the for
lorn hope which represents the dear de-
parted and "the party" proceeded to
business without them.
The forlorn hope consisted of the fol.
lowing named leaders: Gen. R. B. Elliott,
chairman; F. L. Cardozo, A. w. Curtis,
G. C. Bowen, Thomas B. johnson, Rev.
Wilson Cook, of Greenville; DR.. j. F.
Ensor, S. A. Swails, June Mobley and
one more colored man whose name is not
known. =,
What the proceedings" were could
not be ascertained. Mystery is the
secret of success" said Napoleon, or some
other great man, and the mystery of the
proceedings of the State Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee was in exact proper
ton to the doubtfulness of the success
for which they would strive.
1t was rumored on the street that the
committee have decided to nominate
United States Marshal Wallace for Gov
ernor, but this proposition sounds too
wildly to be accorded belief Your cor
respondent intimated to q member of the
Republican State Executive Committee
that he supposed they would naturally
"call convention" The member plead
guilty to the soft impeachment, and an.
ticipated further inquiries by the remark:
"You will know all about it in a day OF
or two," with which promise the cores
pondent and public generally must con-
tent themselves for the present.-Ne'c'
and Courier.

The trustworthy Washington cores

may grow out of the movement to try his
title, and that he now regards it as one of
the greatest personal Importance to him.
self that the next House of Representa-.
tives shall be Republican. To this end
it is asserted that no further opposition
will now be made on the part of the ad-
miuistration to the extension of all the
material aid that the campaign commit
tees can extract from the officeholders.
The authority for this is of the opinion
that for political reasons there may be an
attempt at denial of this statement, but
he says the sequel will prove its correct
ness. The statement recently made by ex-
Attorney General Barlow, of New York,
who was one of the Republicans visiting
Florida in 1876, to the effect that Tilden
was certainly entitled to Florida, has,
from the clearness with which it was
made, attracted much attention here.
Judge Blair stated recently that every
representative of the people who failed
to come up to the requirements of the
occasion will be guilty of the highest
form of treason"

to authorize the free coinage of the standard
silver dollar, and to restore its legal char

"Be it enacted, ETC., that there shall be
coined, at the several mints of the United
States, silver dollars of the weight of four
hundred and twelve and half grains Troy
of standard silver, as provided in the act of
January 18, 1887, on which shall be the de-
vices and superscriptions provided by said
act, which coins, together with all silver
dollars heretofore coined by the United
States of like weight and fneness,
shall be legal tender, at their
nominal value for all debts and
dues, public and private, except where
otherwise provided by contract; land any
owner of silver bullion may deposit the
same at any United States coinage mint or
assay Office, to be coined into such dollars,
for his benefit, upon the same terms and
coinage under existing laws.1 And the
Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and
directed, out of any money in the Treasury
not otherwise appropriated, to purchase,
from time to time, silver bullion at the market
price thereof; not less than two million dol
lars per month, nor more than four million
dollars per month, and cause the same to be
coined into such dollars. And any gain or
signiorage arising from this coinage shall
be accounted for and paid into the Treasury,
as provided under existing laws relative to
the subsidiary coinage; provided, that the
amount of money at any one time invested
in such silver bullion, exclusive of such re-
sulting coin, shall not exceed five million
dollars"

SCHOOLS OFRUSSIA

Every city of the Russian Empire
has its lyceum, and every, town its gram
mar school. In the lyceums French and
German are taught; in the grammar
schools German sometimes, but not al
ways. English can be learned only at
st. Petersburg, Moscow, and Odessa
except by private tuition. The charges
for maintaining boy as boarder vary
from two hundred to seven hundred and
fifty dollars, and at the aristocratic mil
itary school of St. Petersburg extras
generally bring the sum up to one
thousand two hundred and fifty. Rus
sian boys sleep in dormitories; and it is
only within the last fifteen years that
they have been allowed bedding. For
merly they curled themselves up in rugs
and lay.down on wooden cots. Possibly
this practice still prevails in some of the
inland schools. Their fare is the eter-
nal cabbage soup, with beef; and tea,
with bread and no butter. They wear
a uniform-a tunic in summer, and in
winter caftan, like an ulster coat, with
the number of their coat embroidered on
the collar Their heads are cropped
close, and tney walk upright as ramrods,
for the most part of their education con-
sists in drill. They are usually quiet
boys, very soft-spoken, and not much
addicted to romping-having no national
game beyond that of leap-frog, which
they play in large empty room warmed
like hot house. They spend their
pocket money in cigarettes and in
sweetened rum to put in their tea. These
delicacies are forbidden, but can always
be had of the school porter for little
overcharge. There is no corporal pun
ishment, nominally, since the present
Gar abolished the birch by a specia
ukase; but discipline could scarcely bt
maintained among Russians without cuff

The Advantage of Being a Woman.

"Make way for the ladiesl" is the
law of civilized society from the equator
to either pole. "Will any gentleman
oblige a lady2" asks the omnibus con-
ductor in his blandest tones; and no
sooner said than done. For whom are
the tid-bits reserved at every feast? who
is served first, and has the best seat, at
breakfast, dinner and supper? Woman,
lovely womanl Who pays for them :?
Man, the wretch
Man loves and runs away. Woman
brings action for breach of promise and
gets damages. Woman loves and she
rides away. Man brings his action and
gets hooted out of court.
Whatsoever things are beauteous,
whatsoever things are rare and costly,
are at the disposal of woman to make her
irresistible. Even the robin red-breast
lays down his melodious life; and Justly
so, since bird in her hat is worth two
in the bush. The little bow-wows give
up their brass, collars, that they may
shine upon her snowy neck. She goes
forth conquering and to conquer. Man,
poor devil-with his chimney pot hat,
and his coats made of the wool of the
congenial sheep-is mere collection of
cylinders, and his garments seem con-
trived to enhance his native ugliness.
Who tolls and suffers all hardships-
bears the burdens of the day and the
rigor and darkness of the night? Man
the unlucky rascal Meanwhile woman
bless her sweet heart! gives a smile, an
order or two, and is queen of herself
that heritage of joy.
These are only a few of the reasons
which show what grand and blessed
thing it is to be a woman, and wha
cause for gratitude that human beins
has who is thus sublimely privileged.

Fatal Negligence.

Not long since, in a town in this State,
the closely-turned damper in a stove
pipe threw the coal gas into room
where five children were sleeping. They
were suffocated, and found dead by the
neighbors. A little later, the mother,
who also breathed the gas, died. A few
years ago, gentleman and his son,
whom we knew well, nearly died from a
similar cause.
Such facts are sufficiently common to
justify us in cautioning housekeepers
not to close too closely the stove-pipe
damper. Many seem to forget, if they
ever knew it, that coating of SCOT may
nearly close up the little space left in the
pipe when the damper is turned too far.
Others are not aware that it is unsafe to
have the damper turned while the stove
door is open; and all should be reminded
that the sense of smell does not always
enable person sitting in the room to
detect the presence of gas.
A damper in a stove-pipe is as un-
necessary as it is unsafe. Closing it does
not, as is falsely supposed, throw the
heat out into the room, and the draught
can be checked by other means.

Terms of the Armistice Signed.

The six bases of peace accepted by the
Porte, and the terms of the armistice, have
at last been signed by the Grand Duke
Nicholas and Server and Namyk Pashas. An
order suspending hostilities was dispatched
forthwith to all the corps and detachments,
and also to the army in Asia Minor.
The following are the conditions of the
armistice:
First-The erection of Bulgaria into
Principality.
Second-A war indemnity or territory in
compensation.
neutrality-suspicious. of Roumania, Ser
via and Montenegro, with increase of terri
tory for each.
Fourth-Reforms in Bosnia and Herze-
govina.
Fifth-An ulterior understanding between
the Sultan and the Gar regarding the Dar-
danelles.
Sixth-Evacuation of the Danubian for
tresses and Erzeroum.
Hobart Pasha received orders to hold the
fleet in readiness to sail, it is believed, for
the Piraus.
Mehemet Ali Pasha has been appointed to
the command of the troops in Crete and
Adassides. A Christian has been appointed
Governor of the island.

The Probable Successor of Plus TX.

The Roman correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette gives a sketch of the
character of Cardinal Bilio, who, he is
of the opinion, has a greater chance
than any one else of succeeding the
present Pope. Bilio is described as be-
ing proficient in the use of devout
language, and as being, therefore, secure
of the votes of many of the older and
pious members of the Holy College.
Moreover, he has great influence with
Plus TX, and is consequently treated
with great respect by all the officials of
the Vatican. 1t was not for nothing,
the correspondent adds, that he COM
piled the Syllabus-the compendium of
the religious wisdom and inspirations of
the Pontiff. He is an enterprising, dar-
ing and energetic man, hfty-eight years
of age, and, believing firmly and inn
plicitly in the Syllabus, has none of the
indecision of purpose which character
ICES many of his colleagues. He is a
man to burn his ships behind him. The
idea of holding the conclave abroad
originated with him, and he is exerting
all his power to remove the difficulties
which stand in the way of his plan be-
ing carried out. 1t his his desire to
wander over the earth as an exiled Pope,
melting the faithful everywhere to rise
in support of his cause and that of the
Church. Already he is in communica-
ton with the Ultramontanes in every
country ON the subject, and he is man
we'll fitted to carry out such project.
The matter is the more serious, the
writer concludes, because there is moth
ing in the Holy College to oppose to this
well-defned plan and firm resolution but
confusion and helplessness. Every day
the present Pope grows worse, and every
day consultations are held by the Cardi
mails assembled in Rome but no definite
line of action has been or is likely to be
arrived at by them-nothing whatsoever
in fact, comes of their deliberations.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

LORD DERBY has withdrawn his resigna-
ton, and remains in the Cabinet.
RUSSIA has accepted Austria's proposal
of a conference for settling the European
questions resulting from the war, but the
place is not yet determined.
TURKS attacked body of Thessalian in
surgents on Mount Pelion, and were re-
pulsed with loss of sixty. Loss of the
insurgents trifing. The insurrection has
begun in the District of Armyros in Thes-
sally.
A ROME dispatch says that the Pope is
preparing an allocution against Russia for
prosecution of the Church in Poland, and
against King Humbert on his accession to
the throne for the assumption of the title,
King of Italy.
A SPECIAL dated Belgrade, Monday, says:
"After four days battle the Turks have been
defeated near Ratscharnik by forty thou
sand Servians. The hospitals have been
ordered to prepare accommodations for
three thousand wounded"
The journal of st. Petersburg says: If
Turkey were civilized power, caring for
the interests of all her subjects, the present
her to make peace. But as the circumstances
are otherwise, the conclusion OF peace is
hardly possible.
SPECIAL from Paris says Gambetta de-
clares that any engagements made at
Kasanlik modifying the treaty of 1855 must
be considered null and void. The Russian
conditions, Gambetta declares, except the
demand for indemnity, involve fragrant
violation of that treaty. The French inter-
ests in the East, he considers, have hardly
changed since 1856. Gambetta insists that
a war can only be terminated by European
| Congress.
A BERLIN correspondent, under date of
Tuesday night, says: "Some excitement
| and uneasiness is caused here by the report
| that Eng and has partially succeeded in de-
taching Austria from the triple alliance,
and securing her conditional opposition to
the Russian peace programme. l have
good reason ID believe that reports are, at
least, exaggerated, but it is evident that
some slight friction exists between Austria
and Russia"
| A PERA dispatch to the Times says the
| Porte persisted in its determination not to
permit the British feet to enter the Darda-
l
nelles, except as the ally of Turkey.
England informed the Porte that the fleet
must enter without permission. The Porte
entered formal protest, which was for
warded to the Plenipotentiaries at the Rus
sian headquarters, but did not actually
oppose the entry. Peace will be signed on
Russian Territory.
A VIENNA dispatch says that Austria's
| refusal to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina
is confirmed on Ministerial authority.
Count Andrassy will sanction no measure
calculated, directly or indirectly, to bring
about the ruin of the Ottoman Empire.
This resolute attitude of Austria within the
last few hours has, in certain measure,
been made known to Russia by Count
Andrassy, as well as to Lord Derby, in the
form of an identical note.
