Greenville were both pr?Mnt to land thair
enlivening influence to tha occasion. Ex>
Got. B. F. Pk&iy introduced first Gan. Kb*.
siiaW ; the announcement of this name was
followed by cheers. Gen. Kershaw pro*
coed ad to address tha meeting in a vary
able manner, vindicating the claims of the
Union and Reform party to tha support of
the good people of Greenville. Gen. Kaa
shaw's views are already known. He Is no
candidate for office, and his efforts, therefore,
in behalf of the aleetion of CAimrnt
and Butlkb are purely patriotic and disinterested,
and concerns him only as a citizen
of South Carolina. Tha noble character of
Gen. Kxr?iaw for truth, purity and good
sense, bis high courage and untarnished
honor lend a deserved weight to his ad
dresses, that in the minds of intelligent and
honest men is hard to resist.

by Gov. Pcrrt, and mado a bold and eloquent
speech, thai waa frequently cheered,
lie reiterated the charges against Gov.
Soorr which ho made at Pickens Court
Ilonse, and gave a brief array of proofs to
sustain them. Gen. Bi-tmcr said he was in
Washington City lately, and that he did not
meet a single man there, Republican or
Democrat, who did not express the opinion
that tlie administration of the government
of South Carolina was a disgrace to Amir
ica. Gen. Butucr charged Gov. Scott with
speculating in the public funds of the State
for his own private benefit, and that he has
employed spies, paid out of the people's
money, tinder pretenco that they were
peace officers, when they were in faet his
political partisans engaged in stirring up ^
strife; that ha has not enforoed the law
requiring the Land Commission to make a
report of his operations; and that he had
defrauded the State as one of the Advisory '
Board, by converting to his own use money 1
appropriated to buy homes for the homeless;
that he has mado the public debt of {
the Slate near three timet its former eiz*, *
and made the moit grievous taxation ; that
he was guilty of threatening violence by .
Wincheater rifles against his own Slate,
and thus he has prevented immigration, ,
nearly trebled the public debt, and thus ob- {
structed the development ot the resources t
of the State; that he had used the office of j
Governor for his o? n purposes, and not for 1
the puMie good ; further, that Gov. Scorr t
was wholly insincere in pretending friendly I
feeling for the colored people, that shortly '
before the last Presidential eloction, Gov. 1
Scott said to General IIampton, and two <
other gentlemen, that he not only wished '
the State to vote Demoeratie, but would uss
his influence to that end; and that he was
tired of the negroee, and would make
enough ol them resign their s*ata in the
Legislature, so as to give the white men a
majority in that body.
" Now I believe," said Gen. Birrusn, *' that
It. K. Scott is answerable for the murder of
Randolph, a colored citizen of South CaroUna.
The evidence against him is circmr.
elantial, but many persons have been con*
demned on slighter grounds. Let us look
at it. Tolbert, the murderer, came to Scott
in person with the blood of bis victim reeking
on his hands, and admitted that be had
murdered him. lie made that confession
and Scott took him, and without warrant
of law confined him in the Penitentiary
without trial, without judicial examination,
and while there in his (Scott's) custody obtained
another confession which he pub*
lislicd. Now, strange to say, this second
confession implicated oettain influential aDd
respectable citizons of high standing in Abbeville,
and this confession was obtained
because the election was approaching. A
short time afterwards, while confined in the
Penitentiary, kept by one of Scott's politi
uii |i?ikiHur, nnu gu?ru?o oy a strong
guard of his partisans, armed with Hfiea,
Tolbert was permitted to escape. Perm itled
to escape ; for why was it that be alone escaped
this strong prison. lie went at large
and what nest ? Why, to blind the public,
8colt offers a reward of $10,000 for his capture,
wnieh bo never intended should b0
paid. It was an easy matter to capture
Tolbert; numbers of people saw him about
Abbeville and Cokesbury, and several of his
conrtabnlsry told me that they eould have
captured Tolbert if they thought they
would have got the $10,000. But it did not
suit Gov. Scott to let Tolbert litre. He
could tell s tale that might not be reliahed,
and therefore we find that Iloliingshead,
one of 8eott'a paid spies, went to a party,
raised a row, aod shot ths murderer. His
lips were sealed forever and ever, and the
murderer of Randolph went to hie grave
by the order of the executive of 8onth Car>
Una."

Boaidos the naval business of tho Convention,
the Interoata of Furman University claimed
great attention. Tho Convention seemed
profoundly impressed with the duty of sustaining
and placing on a seeure foundation this ^
noblo Institution that baa suffered so much by j
tho results of the war. A new Board of Trua- (

The Board of Trustee* held daring theconron- ul
requcnt and prolonged sessions. Ono great re- lai
ult of their labor, was the adoption of a scheme m i
or a pcrmnnont endowment of the University,
nd resolution to elect, in addition to those now Ci
n office, two new Professors of the highest order
f ability. If tho endowment is secured to ^
ho oxtont proposod, then tuition is to he free y.
o all students for ten years after its cotnplo- T
ion. The Convention heartily and enthusW C]
istioolly endorsed the oetion of the Board of ^
frnstcos, and tho members seemod animated
>y a noblo resolve to lend all thoir energies to
:he work of securing the endowment and pronoting
the success of tho University in every Q
suitable way. Stirring and eloquent addresses g,
in the subject wore made by various members ^
of the Convention, and tho action of tho body
was unanimous.
c
Wo congratulate the denomination and this
community, in which Furman University is ^
located, upon its bightened prospects. We
congratulato the State at largo. Tho proper
endowment of such an institution and its per
uiAuuub susicDiaiioa. it u no mcro dcnumi- j
national interest. It is a school of scionco i
and literature, and not for tho teaching of (
sectarianism?whilst tho morality and piety of
its Professors will bo calculated to exert tho
best influence upon the students. There is no
better situation in tho Southern States, for
a great University, than our City of Oreen- |
villa, for health, for soeiety, and a wholesome
religions influonoe. To this influence the differont
religious denominations all contribute
their share, although some are more in numbers
than others. The diflbront churches have
able and zealous ministers. But congratulaI
tions will he vain nnlcss tho frionds of education
in this State, in tho denomination and '
out of it also, shall chocr on tho undertaking t
for tho endowment with voiee and libera- ?
hands. The Institution will succeed np to '
tho highost expectations, if tho right spirit is t
awakened in the poopto, and we believe that it 1
| will. Y. J. Pops, Esq., of Edgeftold, one of '
tho early graduates of Furman, has been ap- 1
I pointed and accepted the offlco of Genera^ '
I Agent of tho TJnirorsity, and trill devote bim
elf to the work of obtaining contributions 1
and fbnds for the endowment. If ay he evory- '
where be weloome. Mr. Pora, wo neod not
ay, is a gentleman of talont and high character.
He is a lawyor in fall practice, and
leaves his business, for a time, in the management
of his partner and assistants, in his ardent
doslre to serve his Alma Mater.
Dr. J. L. Ritioldi delivered an address
before the Convention, and a large aadionoe
besides, on Thursday evening. His suhjee*
was the ITistory of the Baptist Churches In
this S ate, prior to the formation of this Convention
fifty years ago. Tho address was
both able and entertaining. The Doctor resurrected,
by his vigorous narrative and
graphic description, the early Baptists o'
Sooth Carolina; some of them in the ministry;
the best specimens of talents, learning and
piety; others of a rndo simplicity; but each
class was doscribed so well, they seemed to
tho minds-eye, not m shadows of tho past, a
bat living men springtog up from the valley *
of dry bones.
There was some able preaching during the
Convention by the attending ministers. The
Charily Sermon was preached in the Baptist
Church on Sunday morning by Rev. L. II*
Shock, of Charleston, and a sermon, at night* j
in the same plaee, by Rev. J. A. W. Thomas'
of Marlboro. Rev. J. K. Mbrukhall preached
in the Presbyterian Church in the forenoon, tl
and Rev. T. R. Gaihbs in the afternoon. Rev. fl
T. W. Smith ^preached in the Methodist ?
Church. b,

To AfHculturitf (tnd Agricultural Vrgantaati'omu
UroufAout the country :
Tho nooossity of co-operation amongst the
1 agriculturists and agricultural organisations
of the Southern States is becoming more man*
I Ifoet eresy year, 1'ubllo improvements, tho
; diffusion of agrioaltaral science, and tho protection
of the rights of agriculturists, have
not hitherto reooived the attention whloh sub*
, jeots of suoh vast importance to our prosperity
demand, aad which are beet secured by voluntary
association and oombined action.
Tho interests of tho cultivators of the great
staple productions of the Southern States demand
a central and united organisation, tho
object of whioh shall be the promotion of inaptorod
methods of culture?especially adapt'
ed to the productions peculiar to our section?
the improvement of our labor system, tho onf
courage moot of foreign immigration, and tho
1 diversification of our agricultural products.
1 A gonoral desire for an organisation, with
- these objeota in vlow, is expressed by leading
* agriculturists throughout (ho South.
It is, therefore, proposed to organise an association
which shall moot annually at some
acoestlble point in one of the Southern States,
I where agriculturists from ovory section shall
1 asscmblo to deliberate in council, and fully
t common icatc tbo result or thoir experiences,
t as tending to tho advancement of the arts of
> husbandry and kindred subjects.
| It is suggestod that tho initiatory assembly
s conveno at Augusta, Ga., during the holding
of the groat fair of tho " Cotton Statos' Mo?
t chanics and Agricultural Fair Association " in
I October noxt.
[ In furtherance of tho foregoing, the underI'
signed hare been appointed * joint commlttoo
i from the M Cotton States' Mechanics and Agricultural
Fair Association," and from tho Aui
gusta Board of Trado, to mako all necessary
arrangements for tho first meeting, which will
bo held in this eity October 2ft, 1870.
Tho several States and county organisations,
throughout the couutiy, aro cordially invited
' to send delegates.
The first business before the assembly will
I bo the permanent organisation of an Agrieul*
turai Congress, oloction of officers, etc., to bo
followed by froc discussion of agricu!tnral_sub*
JacU.
The central location of Augusta, and Its ex*
tensive railroad connections, mako it easy of
access from all points of tho country.
Arrangements aro tnndo with tho various
railroads to carry dologatos free of chargo or
at reduced rates.
Delegates, in order to avail thcmselvoa of
tliis privilege, will have to present duly authenticated
certificates of appoiutuient to tbo
Agricultural Congress.
Associations aro roquostcd to report, as early
as practicable, the names and number of

I A qumb lias stpry lately come to an end
I in Washington. A gentleman named Rich
I srds has been removed from the office of
I City Superintendent of Elueatlon, after
I having hold it for^two years. Tho reason
I of his removal was the demonstration of the
' I fuel that he could not ro.vl, write or cipher
1 as a man ought. lie hand previously been
I dismissed for the s.une reason from the
1 I Iluresu of Statistics, and afterward from
1 I the place of Cbhrf Clerk of tho Bureau of
1 I Education?an important office under the
I National Government. Yet such was his
' I 'mpudence and such his talent, that lis
| managed to be pat in charge of the eduea1
I tinnal interests of tho city, and to retain
' I that place lor two years, although ho had
I not the first qualification for its duties.
The Galveston News, of tho 17tli instant^
has tho following item: Mr. A. It Paxton
I has sent us a boll of tea island cotton, the
, I first of the season, picked Friday, 15th
I utt. It is of supciior strength, but not
I extraordinary in tho length of staple or
J fineness. We are informed that the orop of
I last year from the same soil was of such
I length and fineness, although deficient of
I strength, that it is valued at 55d. per pound
I ($1.10 specie). Notwithstanding the ravaI
ges of the worm last year, this culture ia
I increasing in the vicinity. No worm has
I appeared as yet but rain is needed.
. I The Laurcnsville Herald of *22d saya : We
J hear of showers throughout the District,
1 and the crops are speedily advancing. Maay
I seotlons havo suffered severely from drought
I ?eotton generally la backward and small
I but now and then a fine field is to be seen.'
I The cotton on red land owing to the dry
, I spring, came np late, and is very baek?.
, I ward. Corn looks generally well, but the
t I fields are fow and far between.
* I From what we ean learn of the crops in
I this county and surrounding counties, saya
t I the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer, of the 20th
I I ult., wa may rely, if no disaster cocoes, on a
? I large erop ol eoro?larger than the crop of
> any year since the close of the war. With thi,
t prospect in view, we hope to realise (pro"
I vided Kirk aod his " brave aodger boya"
will lot us alone) a better time in the Fall
" I ?at least we have a'prospect of having
I plenty of hog and hominy.
