THE ATLANTIC CITY SUICIDE.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August IL
The body OF the young man found dean
yesterday near the Shelbarne House is
still here unclaimed. That his death
was caused by ldudanum seems clear
from the fact TWO empty bottles so labeii-
cd we're found on his person, which bore
no marks of violence. A card in his
pocket was inscri bed: ~ am George b.
street, Philadelphia" There was also a
slip OF paper in his pocket containing
the following: "Mrs. g. w. Hacker, 33S

DIsGUsTED REPUDLICANs.-The News
and Courier of Saturday has the follow
ing: "In an interview yesterday with
leading member of the Republican party,
and one whose words will be received as
authority upon matters touching the state
of feeling in that party, Reporter for
the News and Courier was informed that
Major D. Il. Corbin, ex-United States
District Attorney, ex-Congressman A. S
Wallace, Major William E. Earle, for.
merly assistant United States District
Attorney, ex-Attorney-General Samuel
w. Melton, Col. John R. Cochran. ex-
Congressman Simeon Corley and Others,
who represented the brain and courage
of the Republican party in this State,
are intensely disgusted with the compo-
sition and conduct of the recent Repub.
lican Convention held at Columbia.
They say that adversely has taught their
party nothing. That the same disrepu.
table crowd that ruled and disgraced the
party in the past is as powerful and as
rampant as ever, and if they should
again recover power in the State would
again disgrace the party as heretofore.
It has leaked out since the adjournment
of the Convention that the most respect
able members of the old party expected
to obtain powerful moral support at least
from the North and West in the coming
canvass, and hoped, by this means, that
they mil ght make some impression on the
solid Democracy of South Carolina.
They are now so utterly disgusted that,
in their present frame of mind, their
friends at the North will best serve them
by letting the black rebels in this State
severely alone"

ticket. Tie Cary men ran a straight
Gary ticket, composed of Gen. Gary,
J. G. Sheppard, B. e. Nicholson, II. A.
Shaw, w. S. Allen and Jas. S. Callison.
The voting was quite straight on both
sides, and resulted as follows: Gary .l2o,
Sheppard 1923, Shaw 80, Allen 103, Cal
lison 8S, Nicholson 107, Bonham Sd,
Denny IS, and Brooks 81. Messrs. Gary,
Sheppard and Nicholson were on both
tickets. The delegation, therefore, is
solid for Gary. Messrs. Brooks, Denny
and Bonham were elected alternates with
out opposition.
Some other business was then trans
acted, including the election of six Till
man delegates to the Congressional Con-
vention.
Contrary to expectation no wrangling
or i'll feeling was manifested and the
utmost good humor and harmony pre-
vailed. Both parties seem satisfied the
Gary men with theif victory, and the
others with having las they express it)
"made Gary show his hand" There is
no doubt that Gary's speech and the
previous assurances given by his friends
gained him many votes in the, Conven-
ton that would otherwise have been cast
against him.
All is perfectly quiet and the Conven-
tioh adjourned at about 5 o'clock.

its heartfelt sympathy to Cadet Whit
taker at West Point in his recent suffer
ing and trials, and recommend him to
stand firm, commanding justice with that
dignity and firmncss which has already
characterized his conduct.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu'
tions be furnished to Cadet Whitaker.
This subject being at last happily dis
posed of, Straker offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, this Convention, in its repre-
sentative capacity, speaking for the Re-
publican party of South Carolina, has
observed the increasing patronage which
the Federal Government gives to the
Democrats, thereby aiding and abetting
our enemies;
Resclrcd, That we recommend to the
Republican authorities of the Federal
Government to discontinue this suicidal
course towards the friends and workers
of the Republican party.
This resolution ELECTED quite an elab-
crate discussion, participated in princi.
pally by Elliott, Lee, Smalls, Myers and
Brayton, and was finally adopted, after
which the Convention adjourned sine die.
If nothing had been said in the Con-
vention about the instruction of the
delegation it is highly probable that they
would have been very much divided, and
would have voted as they pleased. But
after the hot discussion and the attention
which will naturally be attracted to their
action they will probably vote for Grant
on the first ballot and after that, or if
Grant is withdrawn will vote as follows I:
Mackey, Hayne, Mccall and Taft for
Blaine; Brayton, Elliott, Myers, Lee
and Wilder for Sherman, and Fine,
Bowen, Pointer, Cook and Whipper for
Grant. This is how they stand now, but
Of course they may think otherwise under
the influence of strong political slight"
when they reach Chicago. There is no
telling.
Cofbin failed to appear in the Conven-
ton to-day, although another effort was
made by his friends to give him chance
to get off his little speech. He says he
would rather stay at home than to 60
with such crowd as have been sent 10

him upon q writ of habeas corpus, from
confinement in Jail for the nou-payment

prescribing imprisonment for the nom

debt; and secondly, because the Copstii

THE WHrfTAKIER CASE.

The case of Whitaker, a colored cadet
at West Point, who some weeks ago was
found in the morning tied to his bed
stead, withhold ears slit and one side Of
his head shaved, is still under investiga-
ton by Court Of Enquiry, appointed
for the purpose. The Republicans have
sought to make political capital out Of
the occurrence, and to raise the bloody
shirt. In Congress the subject has been
made the occasion aof several violent,
partisan speeches, and the late Radical
Convention in this State passed several
denunciatory resolutions concerning it.
The Democratic press has generally
refrained from any further discussion of
the outrage than to express unqualified
condemnation OF, the act. The whole
matter is under judicial examination, and
there are numerous circumstances which
point to Whitaker as having inflicted
the mntilation upon himself, and this
was the opinion entertained by those on
the spot, and most familiar with all the
surrounding circumstances. Whitaker,
a few days previous to the mutilation,
received note of warning, which he
kept concealed until latter the outrage.
The handwriting of all the cadets, in
Guiding Whitaker, were obtained, and
BY the Court submitted with the note of
warning to experts. These handwritings
were so numbered that the experts did
not know the writers of any one of them.
The New York Post of the 3rd instant,
says: Credible reports have reached the
Evening Post from several Independent
sources that the handwriting on scraps
Nos, No. II of Superintendent Gaylor,
and on scraps Nos. z, g., and 10 Of Mr..
Hagen, and which, in the opinion of
those gentlemen, corresponds with the
writing of the mysterious note, is the
handwriting of Whitaker" This dis
poses of all mystery, and discloses Whit
taker as the author of his own mutila-
ton. No party capital can be made out
of it, and it adds another chapter of
infamy to the political history of the
Republican party of dark and bloody
deeds perpetrated to continue the cry of
"bloody shirt"

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION.

The Radical State Convention held in
Columbia last week, an extensive account
of the proceedings of which we publish
in this issue, was composed principally
of colored delegates. Thespeeches made
by colored delegates showed the deter.
mination of the negroes no longer to be
led by the former white leaders of the
party, and Corbin and Wallace received
some heavy blows at their hands. White
leaders they must have associated with
them, and while rejecting Corbin, Wal
lace, Earle, and other of their heretofore
more respectable leaders, they held on
to Mackey, Bowen, Taft, and a few others.
The past history of the party exhibits
the utter corruptness and vileness of
their leaders, and it is certain that if the
present combination could succeed in
obtaining the control Of the State gov
ernment it would exceed in bribery and
corruption all that preceded it. The
leading spirits in the Convention were
Mackey and Smalls, Bowen and Elliott,
Brayton and Whipper, and Taft and
Sam Lee-names sufficiently identified
with the past history of the party to
warn every man of the terrible conse-
ouences of the success of the party under
such leaders. The proceedings devel-
oped the fact that the colored people are
exceedingly jealous of white Republi-
cans, and that they will not tolerate them
in their party further than is absolutely
necessary, and then only when they are
fully in accord with and subordinate to
the colored leaders.
It is understood that although large
majority of the Convention was in favor
of Grant as the Presidential candidate
over all others, and instructed the dele
CATION to Chicago to vote as unit for
him as long as his name should be before
the Convention, that yet majority OF
the delegates we're opposed to his nomi-
nation, some favoring Blaine and others
