HEST PEI2*ASY OVEE. * The first primary election is over and we hope that peace reigns everywhere. Of course, with the majority, it is the peace of Warsaw, bnt in these times if every Democrat cud not live for himself, let him live for the common good. In looking over the list that shows the result of the elec_ tion^y-pScKKiarrgrgssed with the genprwiMtec^fiaSiT^fb'^^e suffrage?"' of their people. Every one showed a most respectable popular following. Gentlemen, bide your time. Likely enough, some of the worst defeated this time may be the most triumphant in the ueit election. While we can but sympathize with the defeated, we at the same time congratulate the * oeoole on the selections that have so . far been made. All good meo, and ? very good man should lend bis best efforts to secure their election. 1 THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN. < The Democratic campaign ba6 [ opened in good earnest. The ratiti- s cation meeting in Columbia was a grand send-off. Since then the good 1 work has been going bravely on. Anderson, Oconee, Pickens, Green- 1 villa and Spartanburg have spoken in t no unmeaning terms. The Bed Shirts t are at work and thev are not confined 1 to the white folks. Already we have ] in oar ranks colored men arrayed in t the bloody garment. The exc'temeut ^ attendant open elections is deplored by many as a great evil, bat it is nev- , ertheless highly important that the < Democrats in South Carolina should ^ indulge very largely in said evil. "We j should warm up, become enthusiastic and let consequences take care ol * themselves. We do not think that any fear need be entertained on ac- i oount of becoming over-excited. Bet- c ter to run the risk of dying of excite- I ment than to be butt to death by the e Badical party. Storms are great par-! a ifiers in the physical world and are i 1 equally so in the political. We have j immediate evils from both, but the i result in either is good. Let Demo- * crats remember that coldness and t. apathy will not pay now. You may be put to some loss aud inconvenience So you were in 1876, but for ali that, ( .? X iL. 1 4. _ * I . 18 were any regret iu me oreast 01 a 1r single Democrat iu South Caroliua?!s Farms and homes were neglected: then, and sleepless nights and dnsij | days were passed, but who is not glad r now to remember all this? No Dem- ocrat or lover of peace, prosperity and good government. A bountiful re-! ( ward for all those hard struggles v came speedily, and the moral is now. I that we should hold on to what uc achieved then. The State Exe?-m;\< :! Committee has mapped ont the ti> l.i s for us and we should stand ready t<respond whenever the call is made Even were it Dot at all necessary or important, so far as the chances of ? success iu this election require, to get up an arousal, we should show ouri love for the great Democratic canst-* ? by grand demonstrations. We hope I for thorough work and complete victory. To-day is the 15th and before the next issue of the Dispatch is ci? lcuated among a majority of ils rea ers, the Democratic catnpa gn me< iDg for this place will be going :>i, i* Some of the best speakers in the Stat*' c \ / BBBai11 * "" mwmmmmaatsismausaaifB * will be here od the 23d, and if we do j not have a rousing time, it will be the i fault of the Lexington people. Let as do our whole duty in the campaign work. Every man should come who can. Let Democratic Lexington play a fnll hand and conspicuous part. Progress of the Campaign. Over 6,000 persons turned out at the .\nderson meeting to hear Senator Bayard speak on Thursday last Fifteen hundred mounted red shirts turned out to welcome him, and he was enthusiastically received. Bayird made a stirring speech, which won the affections of the people, and tie was greeted during its delivery with frequent outbursts of applause. Be arraigned the Republican party for its many unconstitutional aud sec tional measures, denouncing ltsinsin;erity, hypocrisy and corruption. The Senator paid a glowing tribute to Hancock. Gens. M. C. Butler, J. D. Kennedy, Johnson Hagood and Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken also spoke. The meeting was very harmonious. The negroes in large numbers attended the speaking. The people of Oconee followed in the footsteps of their sister county, iud held a rousing meeting at Walballa on the 10th. There were twenty-one mounted clubs in line, numbering one thousand, one hundred aud forty-four Bed Shirts. Three thousand people were present at the speaking. Addresses were delivered by Gen. Hagood, Senator Butler, Geu. Kennedy, Congressman Aiken, Col. J. S. Cothran and J. Scott Murray, Esq., the Democratic Presidential Elector from this district There was marked enthusiasm and close attention to the speakers. Oconee promises to give Hancock and English two thousand majority. Everything was quiet and orderly. An enthusiastic crowd of several thousand red shirts flowed into Greenville on Monday. Among them were many colored Democrats. The meeting was presided over by ex-Gov. B F. Perry, who made the opening 3peech. He was followed by General Hagood, Senator Butler, Maj. Hugh 3. Thompson, General J. D. Kenued\ and nonrrrpssman J. H. Evins. Reuben Bright, a Columbia buck iter, was arrested on the 9th instant, for beating a colored Democrat. A warrant was also issued for Spencer Lee. for aiding and abetting Reuben Bright These intimidators will stand iheir trial under an act passed by a Republican Legislature. The punshment for this offence is imprisonment for from six months to tbree pears, or a fine of from $100 to $2,XM), or both, at the discretion of the jourt, and the offender shall be ineli gible to hold any- office. These Radcal bulldozers should .-be permitted to hasp* tne full benefit of their owd :aws. A young man named Caywood, 18 rears of age, of Morgan County, Ky., ecently induced a young girl aged L7 to take a drink of peach brandy, which was so strongly impregnated with cantharideB that she was irnmeliately seized with vomiting; the in jerior of her throat and stomach sloughed off, and was throwu up, with great quantities of blood, which iaused her death in a few hours. The poung lady was of good family and iighly respected. The young man was arrested and lodged in jail on a ;harge of murder. The testimony jhowed that he gave her the liquid with mean intent, and was aware of ts fatal tendencies. We do not believe there is a white Radical in Edgefield Couuty. Is -here? Nor is there in onrconnty any aint or hint of Independentism. No [udependentisni and not a white Radical! Where is the other county hat can say as much ??Edgefield idverivser.

The details ,s made out show a total crop of 5,- < r60,161 bales. i The Republican Congressional Con- ' ention for this, the Third District, at dewberry, on Friday, nominated C. F.

The Superintendent of Education has been notified that the Trustees of the Peabody Fund have decided to allow two more Scholarships from this State to the Normal College at Nashville, Tenu. These Scholarships will be awarded by competitive examination, to be held at the office of the Superintendent of Education on Tuesday, September 21. Applicants must be Dot less than seventeen years of age, and must stand a satisfactory examination in spelling, reading, penmanship, grammar, and analysis, rhetoric, geography, civil and physical, arithmetic, algebra, United States history, and the elements of geology and physiology. The next session of the College will begin on the first Wednesday in October. Tuition in the College is free, and $200 a session is allowed from the Peabody Fond to each pupil holding a Scholarship. Applicants most present to the Superintendent of Education satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and must agree, if admitted to the College to teach at least two years after graduation in the Public Schools of this State. These Scholarships are designed for white pupils of both sexes. To &9 Colored VotersWe propose to say a few words to you in all earnestness, and with an eye single to your interest. You are clothed with as high prerogatives as any citizen of this great country, viz: the right to vote, and have a choice in choosing your rulers. It is no meaningless privilege, but the highest which can be bestowed upon you. For four years yon have lived under Democratic rule in South Carolina, and for two years in this county all of its officials have been Democratic. What has been the consequence? Taxes are lower by nearly fifty per cent; honesty has marked public officials; schools are kept open longer with more children in attendance, and the white people who represent threefourths of the property holders have t ?n : J 1 1 1 l cueenuny paiu ?u kuuuui i?yj ui t,**u tuilis to raise school funds; crime has decreased; peace reigns sup jproe and a better feeling has existed between the races. You are getting along better and are more prosperous now than you have been since you were freed. What do you care for politics beyond voting for men of character and fairness, who will see that your rights are protected ? You wish to better your fortunes still more and have your children after you to do even better than you are doing. You wish to live in peace with your white friends and attend to your own business. Can you do these things if yon stir once more the muddy waters of Radicalism and follow blindly the leaders who formerly led you and whose only regard for yon is based on their using you for their own selfish venal purposes? They can neither conduce to your welfare nor give good government to the State. Put them in power again and you will, in dragging down your white friends, drag yourself down. If yon could do this, you would rum the State forever. But have you duly considered the fact tuat the white people have the State and intend to hold it ? They cannot, for your sakes as well as their own, let it relapse into the hands of the incompetent and corrupt; for the same huDgry horde of political tramps who plundered you and them for eight years would again control it. You have nothing to make and everything to lose by going against us. We do uot address the office-seekers or political wire-pullers among you. We speak to the voters who expect no office, and would have no showing if they did. To you we say come with us and stand by us. Hundreds of you have voted with u& Let every true, honest, hard-working man among you do so in this election and our word for it you will never regret it.?Kershaw Gazette. Greenbackism and.

TV^v->.% TTA**fi^11rr llJglOIJ YVe?vei iycujuuiai,i7pajoiiuiij consider the following: A Washington letter says: "What little doubt may have existed as to the complete affiliation of the Greenback managers with the Republican party is now completely dissipated. The action of Gen. Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President, ever since the farce of bis nomination at Chicago, culminating in his positive refusal to speak on Friday night from the same stand with the Democratic speakers1 in Maine, taken with the action of the organ of the Greeubackers here, furaishes all the proof needed. General Weaver's course is quite natural. He was never anything but a Republican holding office under that party as an internal revenue official until within i short time of the period when he kvas elected to Congress as a Green- J aacker. The Fusion ticket in Maine 1 iiad every prospect of success until j Mr. Weaver comrneuced to throw! ^-?hi water on the coalition of the: .jieeiilmckers with the Democrats,; md of course his only object is to ' lelp the Republicans.
