OUR REST.


''The sunerings of this present time not worthy to
ompnred to the glory that shall be revealed In u.s."
My feet are worn and weary with the march
Over the rough road and mp the steep hillside;
% city Of our Gsd, fain would see
Thy pastures green where peaceful waters glide
My hands are weary toillng on,
bay after day. for perishabe meat
o city Of our God, fain would rest-
] sigh to gain thy glorious mercy-seat.
My garments, travel-worn and stained with dust,
OF rent by briers and thorns that crowd my way,
Would fain he made, o Lord, my righteousnessi
spotless and white in heavens unclouded ray,
My eyes are weary looking at the sim
Impieiy and scorn upon the earth
o city of onr God, within thy walls,
At--all are clothed again with thy new birth
My heart Is weary OF its own deep sin
SHINING, repentng, SHINING stn again.
When shall my soul thy glorious presence feel,
And hnd. dear Saviour II is free from stain?
Patience. poor soul, the saviour's feet worn;
The Savour's heart and hands were weary too
His garments stained, and travel-worn and old
His vision blinded with plying dew.
Love thou the path Of sorrow that he trod
Toll on. and wait in patience for thy rest;>
o city OF our God, we shall see
Thy glorious was-home of the loved and blest.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

In our last issue we devoted considerable
space to the proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention, and in the ENQUIRER Of
to-day will be found report of the proceed
ings of the Republican State Convention held
in Columbia last week.
The platform Of both parties and the ami
mus Of each are now squarely before the peo
pie. While the Republicans wisely decided
that a State ticket in opposition to Hampton
could not stand the ghost Of chance of elec.
ton, it will be seen that the party leaders
those who manipulated the Convention--re
fused to accord to Hampton the need of
praise to which he is entitled as faithful,
sagacious and impartial executive. The res
olutions of Senator Cochran, recognizing the
business and ability Of Hamptou's admins
tration were unanimously rejected, and a
platform substituted therefor drawing the
party lines as strongly as marked the days of
Scott or Moses or Chamberlain.
While the attitude of the leaders is thus
plainly developed, the Republican Conven-
tion discloses another fact, and that is that the
party is stronger and more determined than
has been generally supposed since the last
election. Every county of the State, save
four, was represented in the Convention, and
in several counties where the party was sup
posed to be dead, it proved to be only sleep
ing, and surprised the Democracy by holding
conventions and displaying other signs Of
animation altogether unlocked for in a party
supposed to be without organization and
leadership.
The policy of the Republicans is also man.
ifest. While they will make no organized
effort to secure the State offices, they will
make strenuous exertions to obtain ajori
ty in the Legislature, and to this end we may
expect an exciting canvass in every county.

Mobley, Taft Mackey, Straker and Bowen
opposed the resolution. While they wou Id
not endorse the Democrats still they thought
the proper thing to do was to work tor Con-
gressmen and the control of the Legislature,
and this they could accomplish easier by not
putting up State ticket. Once the General
Assembly was in their power, they could elect
q United States Senator, which would be
worth more than all the State offices COM
bined
The debate consumed several hours, when
g motion was made to adopt the resolution.
On this motion the ayes and noes were de-.
manded, and resulted-ayes 69 noes 35.
a recess was then taken until 4 o'clock
p. NJ, in order to allow the committee on
platform and resolutions to prepare full re-
port.
At the appointed hour the members re.
assembled, and the committee on platform and
resolutions submitted their report.
Mackey suggested that each plank of the plat
form be acted upon separately, but the Chair
ruled that it would be read and acted on as a
whole.
Swails then proceeded to read the platform,
which was listened to with the closest attention
and vocferousy applauded several times. 1t is
as follows:
l. The Republican party of the State of South
Carolina, in convention assembled, believing
that the principles of equal civil and political
rights are vital to the interests of good govern
ment, and that they can only be enforced by the
party which has engrafted them upon the State
and national constitutions, hereby reatfirm their
earnest adhesion to the platform and principles
adopted by the National Republican Convention
at Cincinnati on the 10th day Of June, 1876.
g We reiterate our adherence and reputation
OF all forms of violence intimidation or fraud in
the conduct of elections, or for political purposes
and denounce the same as a crime against the
liberty of American citizens as well as the COM
mon rights of humanity and while we insist
upon and will zeaously guard the right OF every
citizen freely to choose his political party, and
deny the unfounded charge that the Republican
party countenances any interference with the
coored voters who may choose to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, we do protest against and denounce
the practice inaugurated in the campaign of 1876,
and again revived in some counties by the DEM
ccratic party, of attending Republican meetings
and conventions, and by show Of force and other
forms of intimidation, disturbing such meetings,
or taking part therein without the consent or IN
vitation of the party calling them.
3. We charge the Democratic party with being
unf,ithful to the many pledges and promises
made during the campaign OF 1876 as demonstra
ted by the legislation of the last General Assem-
blv, the journals Of which show that the only
pledges redeemed were those for which the entire
Republican vote of both branches of the Legisa-
ture were cast.
A. We denounce the Democratic party for the
frauds, violence and intimidation committed du-
ring the general election of 1876; for the assas-
snations and murders committed during the can
vass preceding that election ; for the violent seiz-
