A correspondent of the New York Herald says:
"Among the Republicans in South Carolina there is a deadly conflict between the mass of the party and the Federal office-holders and their supporters. As already stated in the Herald, the delegates to the Republican Convention which endorsed Gen. Grant's administration were instructed to vote against his renomination if he did not make a clean sweep of all the present office-holders in the State. A number of the delegates have already left Columbia for Washington, and these have been rapidly followed by the office-holders. There is no doubt that the delegation will vote "straight" for Grant's nomination, and here, as in all the Southern States, the negroes will vote en masse for his election."
