RADICAL CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
From Chester Bulletin, 18th instant.

RADICAL CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
The Republican Congressional Convention
for the Fourth District, met at Chester last
Friday, and was called to order by c. G..
Macoy, chairman of this district. G. G. Ma
coy was elected permanent chairman, and
Charles Cummings, of Spartanburg, Secretary.
When the organization of the convention
was announced and nominations being de-.
clared in order, the Hon. A. S. Wallace, of
York, arose amid loud applause and nomina-
ted Absalom Blythe, white, of Greenville, as
the Republican candidate for Congress from
the Fourth District. He said his man was
we'll known in the District, and that a puff
of slander was never breathed against his
name He said his candidate was competent
to fill the high position, and was man of
high integrity and strong intellect, and would
represent the Fourth District with credit to
himself and honor to the District. He closed
by saying that he firmly believed Absalom
Blythe would be elected by handsome ma.
jority.
The nomination was seconded by half
dozen or more. Wilson Cook, colored, of
Greenville, seconded the nomination in few
eulogistic remarks on the candidate. He
said he was glad to see that the old war horse
(Mr. Wallace) had seen proper to nominate
the young man (Mr. Blythe) from Greenville,
and expressed himself as confident of his
election, provided the Democrats would give
them fair count Others made remarks
and were all certain of Mr.. Blythe's election

GREENBACKERS AND RADICALS.
A STARTLING EXPOSURE.

It is seen by every intelligent person, that
the effect of the Greenback party, whether so
designed or not, is, by producing division in
the ranks Of the Democracy on the money
question, to strengthen and build up the Rad
ical party, though not many have been pre-
pared to believe that its candidate for the
Presidency, and its National Committee are
working directly in the pay and interest of
that party. But proof Of the fact has been
made in such forms as to leave no doubt in
the minds of the public. Let every one
read and decide for himself from the testi-
mony which we herewith subjoin:
w. NJ. Edwardy, a prominent citizen OF
Alabama, editor Of the Neaus Item at Mont
gomery, and identified with the Greenback
movement, having discovered the secret ar
rangements between the leading Greenbackers
and the National Executive Committee,
comes out openly with the following explicit
statement:
On the 24th of June, Conference of the
Independent Greenback labor party, of Ala
bama, was held at the Exchange Hotel in
Montgomery. had been asked to represent
the Independents Of Montgomery County,
and went into the conference for the purpose
of doing so.
The information obtained from both par
ties (the Greenbacks and Republicans con-
vinced me that the whole movement was a
d. lg and skilfully managed scheme to
overthrow the Government Of Alabama.
With all the facts before me, determined to
expose all that had come to my knowledge
and sever all connection with party which
was sailing under false colors.
/ now assert that the leaders of the Green.
back party are in the pay of, and in hearty
cooperation with, the Republican party, and
the evidence | here introduce can not be
truthfuly denied, and l am satisfied that the
charges l make, can not even be answered.

ly, he thought differently. He could not
wonder that the man had been repulsed by
his rudeness.
1t was Saturday afternoon, and Peter was
in bis shop, doing nothing but thinking, when
some one entered. He looked up and saw
Mr.. Wilkins.
"How dye DOR said the capitalist.
"How d ye do?' returned the builder.
"You a.e not very busy, take it." added
Wilkins.
A quick, rough answer was making its way
to Peters lips but he did not speak it. He
recollected himself in season. He had taken
a solemn obligation upon himself that he
would not allow any more such words to 60
out from his mouth upon his fellow-men.
"No, sir" he replied, as soon as the old
spirit had been quelled; Il am not very busy
just now"
"P-rhaps you would like. to work for me-"
"As you wish it."
"Well," said Wilkins, 81 am in want of
help, and should like to employ you. Imeant
to have employed you before; and perhaps
you can imagine why did not. However"
he added, as he saw Peters countenance fall,
there's no need of referring to that only for
the lesson it teaches. I felt the cut Of your
rudeness very deeply; and the more so, be.
cause l could not see wherein | had given
any occasion for it,"
II was rude," returned Peter, frankly
"and as you have intimated, J. found lesson
in the result; and l hope l may profit by it."
"That's enough, sir. And so we'll let the
past CO." Wilkins extended his hand as he
spoke, and Peter grasped it warmly.
"And now," the visitor continued, "lets
come to our business. The man whom l en-
gagged to superintend the erection of my mill,
has 50 much other business that he would like
to be spared from this; so if you will take
it, I will let him CO."
Of course Peter took it and when the
mill was done, so we'll and faithfully had he
performed his work, that he had more offers
of valuable contracts than he could possibly
attend to.
But Peter Cox did not forget the prime Sc
cret of this new success. He knew that he
was eminently qualified as an architect and
builder; but this was not all. He also knew
that the first lesson he had learned was the
most valuable one-that investment he had
made was yielding him the greatest interest.
And, moreover, the income from the polite
ness which he had come to possess was not all
gross and material. No, no-one of its high
est and purest fruits was that which came to
his heart, and which remained with him to
bless him, wherever he went.

and that separation was desirable, but how
to obtain divorce was puzzling, because
neither had grievance that would stand the
test of the law. Their conclusion was that
the husband should give the wife ground for
complaint by whipping her, so he amiably
knocked her down, and she got the divorce.

they could hit him. Then Mr.. Paine threw
the balls himself and broke them with the re.
volver before they could reach she ground.
With small rife, such as is used in shooting
galleries, Mr.. Paine broke balls throw at
him and away from him.
WITH A WINCHESTER RIFLE,
most serviceable weapon and not part:cu.
larly easy to handle with accuracy, Mr.. Paine
shot double balls thrown into the air, break
ing both of them, and put twelve shots into
six-inch target in eight seconds, He then
performed the most difficult shot known to
rifle practice-viz., the ricochet shot with
glass balls. A glass ball is place upon the
ground, and the rifeman, by 9 ooting into
the ground, under the ball, thr ws the globe
into the air four or FIVE feet a. d before the
ball falls to the ground it is broken
by second shot. To do this not only
requires very nice judgment in hitting the
ground in such way that the ball will not
be broken, but the emptied shell must be
thrown out of the rifle and another shell must
be thrown in its place before the second shot,
which breaks the ball, can be made Hence
great quickness, nerve and faultless aim are
also necessary. Mr.. Paine successfully made
two ricochet shots.
AT LONG RANGE.
About third of mile from the shooting
ground was red spar buoy, looking to the
spectators to be about the size Of lead-pen.
Gil. Wishing to see what Mr.. Paine could do
at long range, requests were made that he
would shoot at the buoy. The marksman an
hesitatingly complied, explaining first, how
ever, that he would be obliged to guess at The
elevation, as his rife was not fixed for long
range shooting. The first shot went some
several hundred feet beyond the buoy, the
second one went about 200 feet beyond the
spar and the third one alighted within 30
feet Of the object. All were line shots The
fourth shot dropped alongside Of and bespat-
tered the buoy with water raised by the shot.
Then reloading the rife with sixteen cart
ridges, Mr.. Paine said he would get up a lit
tie squall around the buoy, and, firing in
rapid succession, the sixteen shots were sent
around and within from six inches to two feet
Of the Luoy, causing the water to fairly jump.
Thus ended most entertaining and surplis-
ing exhibition of what may be- accomplished
