DISGU5TED REPUBLICANs.-The Neics
and Courier of Saturday has the follow
ing: '"In an interview yesterday with q
leading member of the Republican party,
aud one whose words will be received as
authority upon matters touching the state
of feeling in that party, Reporter for
the Neos and Courier was informed that
Major D. T.. Corbin, ex. United States
District Attorney, ex. Congressman A. s
Wallace, Major William e. Earle, for
merly assistant United States District
Attorney, ex-I..torney.General Samuel
w. Melton, C6,. John b. 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 end 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 aud disgraced the
party in the past is as powerful and as
ramnnnt as over, and if they should
egain recover power in the State would
again disgrace the party as heretofore.
1t has leaked out since the Adjournment
of che Convention that the most respect
able members of the old party expected
to obtain powerful moral support at least
fromSthe North and West in the coming
canvass, and ioped, by this MEANS that
they might make come impressions on the
solid Democracy ee South Cas0lina.
They are now 90 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:"c ;ilS as.H 'is

its heartfelt sympathy TO Cadet Whit
taker ct West Point in his recent suffer
ing and trials, and recomuCad him to
stand firm, commanding justice with that
dignity and firmuess which has already
characterised his conduct.
Resotred, That copy OF these resolu-
tions be furnished 10 Cadet Whitaker.
This subject being at last happily dis
posed OF, Straker offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, this Convention, in It's 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 abettipg
Our enemies;
Resolted, 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-
orate discussion, participated In pTinci-
pally by Elliott, Lee, Smalls, Myers and
Brayton, and was finally adopted, after
which the Convention adjourned sine die.
If nothing had besn said in the Com
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 il
Grant is withdrawn will vote as follows !:
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 "light"
when they reach Chicago. There is no
telling.
Corbin failed to appear in the Conven-
ton to-day, although another effort was
made by his friends to give him u chance
TO get off his little speech. He ssys ne
would rather stay at home than TO go
with such crowd as have been sent 70
Chicago. f.',

routine of debates upon the National business. Only
the other day while Government measure Of thrill
ing interest was under discussion IN the Lower
House of Sofia, an elderly lady, leaning on the arm
of NJ de Cumany, the Russian Agent, entered the
diplomatic box. Her arrival was pointed cut TO Mr.
Slayekoff the President of the Cham Der who forth
with rose from his seat. and. imposing silence upon
the member then in possession OF the House. called
upon ali present to JOIN him in paying homage TO

pator of Bulgaria."
Outstanding, the Legislature complied enthusiast
tically with his eXhortatlOn, much TO Madame Sko-
