The Republicans .nrc.to meet in Con-
vcntion on the twelfth Of September in
the city Of Columbia for the purpose Of
determining their policy in the approach
ing canvass. 1t is likely they will ad-
.journ without making nomination for
State officers, but with private under
standing lha. they will support the
Greenback State ticket This will be
equivalent to nominating the same ticket,
for it is well knomn that the negro vote
can be thrown in iorty-eigh, hours
wherever tho party leaders desire it to
go. 1t is likely that the Republicans will
run candidates for Congress wherever
there is any chance either Of electing
their men o. of unsea,ing the Demo-
cratic Congressman after he is elected,
and they may insist on the nomination
Of a Greenbahk ticket of such character
rs to guarantee carrying out "f the
evident purposes OF the alliance which
exists between these t~" parties. In
fact the arrangement Of the Conventions
Indicate this. The Grcenbackcrs arc
made to SO first, and if their action suits
the Republicans it will be tncitly en-
dorsed, 20 RS to do the new bantling as
much service as possible; but. if it does
not stand up to its siie Of the mischicv.
GUS ALLAN that exists between them,
then the Republicans will nominate n
full ticket, and thereby efiec,ually cut
off ths Grccnh:cs baby's head. Thus
it will bs seen that the Republicans
themselves recognize the Greenbackcrs
rs party without principle, and though
the Republicans are willing to trade with
them for their mutual political advan-
tago, yet they always take special care to
make the Greenback party pay their
money before they get the goods. All
that We nave to say in demonstration of
our allegation that the Grecnbackers and
the Republicans are in alliance; ia TO bid
our readers, if they doubt it, to watch
closely the proceedings of the approach
ing Greenback and Republican Conven-
tions. The proposition will then be
demonstrated beyond doubt.

BAD Policy.

The Columbia correspondent OF tho
Ncus rri Courier writing under date OF
Aug. 2i,h says:
The railroad men met here Yesterday to
revise the freight rates. Among those
present were Mr. Solomon Haas. traffic
iiaiinEvT ri tic h4s0;:i;;:G;i roads; Mr..
Slaughter, general passenger agent of the
Rchniond and Danvillo Road; Mr.. ID.

and Grccnvile roads Col. >. b. Pick
ems" general freight agent Of the South
Carolina Halfway; Mr.. NJ. j. Nerdely,
president, and MIR. liill general freight
agent, OF the augusta and knoxville
Road Col r. L. Mclaughlin, president
uf the Columbia and Grccnvilla Road,
ami Col. y. G. Haskell, president of tho
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road.
The freight rates were advanced ON the
lower classes OF freight from to 10 per
cent. and on the higher classes from 10
To 20 per cent There has been Il general
advance in the freight rates AL over tho
country. Tho railroad men claim that
the country ~ prosperous in almost every
department of industry and can afford to
pay advanced rates of transportation,
sharing with them the increased cxpen-
ultlrcs necessary To Keep their roads in
scrviccnble condition.
1t is expected that the frcghtS over tho
TnllTotlS III tlllS stale, during the next
year, will DO at least fifteen per cent. in
excess Of the freight business done du-
ring tho present year. Tho crop pros
pcclS were never 80 tattcring anu the
business already done by the Columbia
and Greenvillc and the Charlotte, Column
bia and Augusta roads in the trunsporta-
ton Of small grain to markets outside of
the state is altogether without parallel in
the history of the State. The Charlotte,
Columbia AMI Augusta road has hauled
out "f the State, during tho present sea
son, 2,000,00U pounds, and the Columbia
and Grccnville road has furnished trans
iortntion for 100000 pounds Of oats.
These oats were shipped to Charleston,
Augusta, Wilmington, Richmond and
baltimore, and their sale has gone far to
relieve the necessities of the farmers OF
tho middle and upper counties:
In order to encourage industrial actiY.
ity in the State and 10 promote the inter
ests Of all til" peor!s, the railroad passrn-
ger agents have liade especially low rates
for nll tho agricultural fairs in the State.
The rate agreed upon is ono cent and
half per milo for each milo travelled or
three cents for round trip tickets. In ud-
dition to this all frcights for exhibition
at any of tho fairs will be transported
froe unless sold Mt the fairs Upon the
shipment OF all articles for exhibition
full rates will be charged, payment to be
mauo i'll advance of shipment. Upon
the return of the goods exhibited, how
ever, on the certificate of tho secretary
OF tho association where exhibited the
money will he refunded by the railroad
agents, and the goods returned without
Charge to the place of original shipment.

The Alabama Plot.

a dispatch from Meridian, Miss, to
the New Orleans Times DemOcrnt after Civ
ing substantially the same account of tho
plot Of tho negroes to murder tho white
pecple Of Choctaw County, Alabama, and
of the arrest of tho ringleaders as pre-
viously published, furnishes tho follow
ing additional information in regard to
the means employed to secure disclo-
sure of the details of tho plot:
On Saturday morning Secretary Bon
;ier vas taken from tiie Jail by the whites
and intorrogated, and notwithstanding
tho proof was conclusive against him, he
denied all knowledge of the conspiracy
and affirmed with Christian-like sinceri-
~ his innocence. lie was tied up by the
toes, whilc Rev. I.imon was brought out
to tell what no know. lIe didn't know
anything Mt first, but under the refresh
ing and persuasive influence of the lash,
applied vigorously to his barred back, he
remembered and told n great many
things. When tho minutes were read
to him lie admitted that he had heard
them rcnd twice before in the meeting !;
that he knew the conspiracy existed that
1t was tho intention OF the negroes to kill
the people, take possession of the county
and mako Gen. Jack Turner ruler, but
that he had nothing to do with it. lie
admitted that he had been carrying the
call around and getting tho negroes to
join, and that when arrested he was on
his last round, and that he was paid fifty
cents n day fnr his services. Ho could
not DO whipped into telling where tho
books and other papers of the organiza.
ton were kept. He denied all knowledge
of their whereabouts said he know they
existed. but did not know where they
were kept. He said that ono Of the no.
groes asked in tho Jail the night before II
tho white people had found the books
end ether papers, and that Jack Turner
spike up and said: mo, they are not
quite that id smart After this ad-
mission and other conclusive proofs
against him II was unanimously agreed
among tho whites that "Gen. Jack Tur-
ner ought to swing" So accordingly he
was taken from tho Jail, and between tho
hours Of IL and o'clock in the broad
open light Of the day he was hanged to
the limb Of n tree on the main street of
the town. There was a strong inclination
manifested on the part Of tile people to
hang the other six, but older and cooler
counsel prevailed, and they were spared.
1t is said the people were as quiet and
cool as people we'll could be under the
circumstances, and that the execution of
Turner was as deliberate as If done un-
dor the forms of law. All IL quiet now,
and no further trouble is likely to occur.

The COrean Slaughter.

SAS FRASCI>Co, August 2S.-rhe
steamer toptic from China and Japan
brings the following details of the recent
outbreaks in Corct. On the 2:srd of .Idlv
an organized body of insurgents took
possession of the capital of Corca. at
lacked and captured the royal palace,
drove the members of the Japanese
legation from their homes and pursued
them to Port Jnsin, fifteen miles dis
tant, killing four and wounding y NUM-
Der OF others. The fu.itivcs were there
rescued ly IL British snip aud taken to
Na"asaki. y Japanese man-oi-war was
sent To investigate the outbreak and sue
cor the Japanese who remained in Corea.

that all the Japanese had probably been
slaughtered and the capital was in Il state
of anarchy. or tn" inmates Of the pal
ace, the king alone was spared. The
queen, the heir apparent and thirteen
ministers Of state and other high digni-
tarics we're murdered. Tho Japanese

GEOKGIA's NEXT SENATOR.

The successor To be elected in the place
of the late Senator Hill from Georgia is
being canvasscd very actively in that
State, and SD far, from the number ol
names suggested, only three have de-
veloned any strength. MIR. Stephens, the
nominee for Governor. could easily secure
the prize it he so desired, but being
tired Of public life he took the Cover.
norship rs means uf graceful retire.
ment, aud does not wish to again enter
either branch Of Congress. lIe says
that if the people Of Georgia elect him
Governor he will understand that they
desire him to serve his time out in that
Office, and will accordingly do so. Gov.
ernor Colquit is also prominetly men.
toned for the place, and it is understood
that lie will be candidate for the posi-.
ton before The Legislature. lie is n
very strong man in Georgia, and will
make it interesting for whoever may
oppose him. The third man actively
proposed is ex-senator John B. Gordon.
IN speaking of this race, the Washington
Star says:
The man most talked of in Georgia for
Mr., Hills successor !a aS Senator John
Is. Gordon. Since he voluntarily retired
from tho Senate, Gen. Gordon has nc.
complisheu tho purpose ho had in re.
signing. He has realized competency
from fortunate railroad nnd mining
transactions, and it is thought ho is will
ing to return to public lifo. 1t Is said
that the sentiment in Georgia is 40 favor
able to him that his consent is all thnt is
necessary to give him the position.
This puts General Gordon's prospects
very brightly, and will be more than
gratifying to his many friends in South
Carolina. He made most useful Sen.
ator, and Georgia could not return man
in the place of the late distiuguis'
Senator Hill who would give more IT
tation to the State or better service to
the country than John b. Gordon.

Speaking OF the consolidation of tho
Atlantic and French Broad Valley Rail.
road with tho Edgetield, Trenton and
Aiken Railroad, the Edgeicld Adrcr-
tiser says that Governor Hagood will
probably be elected to the presidency of
the consolidated companies, that ho was
elected director "with the understand ing
that he should be subsequently invited
to become president" and that "Aince
the meeting at Reltnn ho has heen ap-
preached on this subject, and has intima-
ted his willingness to accept tho post-of
course not until tho expiration Of his
Gubernatorial term"
Gov. Hagood would no doubt make a
good railroad president, but for practical
judgment and business activity the new
company could not have made more
fortunate selection than by taking Col.
Bowen, whose familiarity with the coun.
try through which the road is to run,
and the character and qualities Of the
hands likely to be engaged upon the
work, vii! give him very great advan.
tages. The Colonel is one of the most
energetic and persistent men in the
State. All of the elements of success
are comprised in the qualifications he
possesses.

A horrible murder occurred on last
Friday night on tho plantation OF Mr.. /.
Feaster Lyles, noar BuOkhead Postof1ice,
In Fairfield County. Two negroes,
brothers, Bob and "Sic," (their surnames
cannot be ascertained In Columbia,) be-
came involved In o dispute about wa
termelon, when Bob seized a shotgun aud
fired upon his brother with fatal effect.
The gun was loaded with slugs and the
whole charge struck ''Sic' in The face and
head, completely tearing away his chin,
one eye and his nose. Tho wounded
man lived about an hour. Bob claimed
that the shooting was accidental, but the
general belief Is that he intended to kill
his brother and fired upon him with MUIR
derous intent. Trial Justice Evans was
summoned and held an inquest over tho
body yesterday, but with what result Is
not yet known.
