At a meeting of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee, held in Columbia on February 22, 1876, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That it is recommended to the Democracy of the State of South Carolina to meet by townships or precincts, and elect delegates to the County Conventions, to be held in April~next, that these County Conven tions shall elect delegates, equal to twice the representation of the County in the present House of Representa tives of the State, to a State Demo cratic Convention to be held in Co lumbia, on Thursday, May 4, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the National Democratic Convention, to be -held in Sb. Louis on the 27th of June next, and to take such further action as the Convention shall deem proper and necessary. The several County Chairmen will take steps in their respective Counties to carry into effect the foregoing reso lution. The township and precinct meetings can be held when is most convenient ; the County Conventions for the elec tion of delegates will be held in April only. The Connty Chairmen of Richiland, with the resident members of this Committee, will make all necessary arrangements for the accomnmodation of the State Convention. M. C.

WOOL COTTON.-A bale of cotton, such as has never been seen in this market bef>re by the oldest cotton buyer, was received yesterday by iMessrs. Oates Bros., from Isaac Har ris, Esq., of Mooresville, Iredell coun ty. It is of the exact texture of wool, a~nd is greasy, and feels to the tou'h just as wool; it has almost no staple at all, and while certainly a species of this staple, has very few of its qualities. Bandeful of it have been brought here before by farmers, among whom it is known as vegretable wool cotton, but this is the~first bale ever seen here. It has no merchantable value iu this market, aud will be shipped by Messrs. Oates Brothers to Philadel phia. Mr. Harris expects to realize a large price for it, but cotton men here doubt if he will be able to do this, since rhe growth cannot be adapted to the uses to which either cotton or wool, strictly speaking, is applied. It is so far from being~ cotton that no classification can be found for it, and it is just as far from being wool. [Charlotte (N. C3.) Observer.

According to call, the State Execu tive Committee met in Columbia on the 22d, and a resolution was adopted to call a State Convention on Thurs day, the 4th of May, to appoint dele gates to the National Democratic Con vention, and to take such other action as they would see fit and proper. The Committee advises that the connties appoint delegates to attend the Con vention some time in April. The County Chairmen met the Comfinittee on the next day. The prospects of the organization accord ing to their representations are bright and cheering. The Bills of the Bank of the State. By a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Col lectors are compelled. to receive the Bills of the Bank of the State for taxes. The 16th Section of the origi nal Charter, granted in 1812, con tained what is called the tax contract making the bills receivable, for taxes. Both Courts, State and Federal, held that the bills and notes of the said corporation issued before the repeal of the said section were receivable in the payment of taxes. The Supreme Court of the State held that the 16th Section was repealed by implication in 1843, and that the State was not bound to receive in payment of taxes notes which had been issued subse quent to that time. The Supreme Court of the United States reversed this decision and held that the 16th Section containing the tax contract could be repealed only by exp'licit de laration to that effect, which was not done until September, 1868, when an act was passed which in its 4th See. tion directly repealed all acts an 1 parts of acts which rendered the bills re ,eivable in payment of taxes. Al] bills issued previous to September, 1868, must, therefore, be received in payment of taxes. Organization. There seems to be no question how~ of the necessity for all good and hon est men in the State to organize as Democrats. The time is opportune, and there should be no backwardness on the part of any man in the exercise of the duty he owes to the State. The issue has been forced upon us by the demagogues of the Republican party, and it would be the stupidest ol blunders if advantage is not taken of the chance offered in' the present as pect of affairs. The best men in the Republican party acknowledge that an error was committed when Moses and Whipper were elected, and Governor Chamberlain admitted "that the grav est consequences would follow to them, and that the immediate effect would be the reorganization of the Demo. cratic party, as the only means left for opposing a sohid and reliable front tc this terrible crevasse of misgovernment and public debauchery." That this misgiving was not without reason i seen in the unanimity of feeling shown by the honest people of the State tc rise in their strength and natural dig nit, and determine to make the effort to break up a bad government and give us a good one. And the outlook gives reaeon able hope of success, but it cannot be realized without strong and united effort on the part of all, and a total sacrifice of personal inter ests or selfish ends. Let "the solid and reliable front" be erected and maintained. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier says in regard to the color line: I have read with much interest Mr John Russell Young's letter on South Carolina politics, and tbough it is not perhaps, within my province to dis cuss it here, I venture to say a few words with reference to his concluding paragraphs. I aequit Mr. Young ol any intention of being unfair, but as a dweller in the South in the days o1 slavery and also of reconstruction,] an testify that he has misunderstooc and consequently misrepresented the Southea people. Mr. Young thinks that if the Southern people had noi drawn and maintained the color line instilled poison into the freedwen s car and inflamed his mind against his former master. The Southern people, impoverished by the war, excluded from office, and being under the ban of proscription, were powerless in the matter. They could only sit patiently, and await the passing away of the carpet-btg plague, the return of reason to the blinded and misguided black nan, and the dawn cf a brighter day for their section. In the States where they have regained power their first efforts have been directed to breaking down the color line, by recognizing the results- of the war, which have in vested the colored man with citizen ship. There certainly has been no I proscription on their part, and before they were proscribed themselves. These facts were seen and recognized by Mr. Charles Nordhoff, who had more extended opportunities for ob servation than Mr. Young could have in a flying visit to South Carolina, and whose recently published book on "The Cotton States" must do much towards enlightening the Northern people with regard to the real condition of the South. We copy from the Senate Journal, Feb. 7, the following report from the County Treasurer of Newberry, sub mitted by Senator Corwin : OFFICE COUNTY TREASURER, NEWBERRY COUNTY, NEWBERRY COURT HOUSE, February 5, 1876.

The impeachment -trial of Judge Montgomery Moses has been adjourn ed by the high court ntil Tuesday, March 7, at 1 p. in., when it will then proceed. The House on the report of the committee of Privileges and Elections gave a two-thirds majority vote on the expulsion of J. D. Robertson, of school text book nlotoriety. One more come to grief. Verily the way of the trans gressor is hard. The concurrent resolution to appoint a Joint Committee to investigate cer tain charges against F. J. Moses, Jr., Whipper and Judge Reed, was laid on the table in the Senate.* The House indulged in a long de bate about the Edgefield outrages. Let us see first if the Courts will not do their duty. What is the use for one Department of Government to continually st,rive to assume the func tions of the other two. If the Legis lature must legislate and execute, let's alter the Coustitution and be done with it. Editorial Review. Gen. Babcock has been 'acquitted. Louis Jennings retires as the Editor of the Times. York is rapidly organizing the Democracy of that County. There are fifteen cotton factories now in successful operation in the State. It is proposed in Ohio to make one year's drunkenness a cause of divorce. Good. Hubbard, a member of the Clara Wildman troupe, died in Lexingt'on, Ky., lately. The Carlists are surrendering and the Alfonsists claimn hat the war is virtually ended. The Carlist cause is now considered as hopelessly lost, and King Alfonso triumphs at last. The National Democratic Conven tion will be held in St. Louis, Mo., on the 27th of June. Springfield, Ill., denounces its tax levy as illegal and refuses to pay, and has appealed to the Courts. Thee city of Brooklyn is to have a Mormon Temple, for the Latter Day Saints, who number about two hun dred. One of the Anderson Democratic Clubs celebrated Washington's birth day in a handsome mannier. Music, speeches gnd a good dinner. Three cheers for Anderson. A Charlotte gentleman two years Char!otte Cushman, the celebrated actress, died in Boston, on the 18th. She was bcrn in the city in which she died on the 23d of July, 1816. A great actress is gone. A fatal disease is now prevailing in the city of Culuubia, as we learn by the Union-Herald, that several voung ladies are dying-to know what they shall wear at the masquerade ball. Washington's birth-day was cele brated in Charleston in- a manner be coming so momentous an occasion. A detachment of the Old Guard from New York participated in the festiv ities. The case of Hoge, the bogus Con, gressman, has goue to the Committee on Electigns, without any defense, ati as a consequence he will have to stel down and out. So much for Hoge and the purpose of the Legislature. The old elm on Boston Common known as the Liberty Tree, and sup posed to have been over 200 year old, was blown down in a recent gale Columns have been written about it history, but while we deplore its fal as a national calamity, we can onli afford an eight line notice. Pratt, of the Palatka Eerald, ha got as far as the twenty-ni'nth chapte of his alligator novel. He has got hi hero in the stomach of a huge saurain and is devoting all his spare tioje t< invent a plan to get him out. In th< meantime the health of the hero is ii a precarious condition. Centennial excursions tdthe Unite< States are advertised throughout Eu rope at cheap rates. This is not th< case in the United States, however for it is strangely noticed that the re ductions in rates of travel are small They should be reduced at least one half, and then everybody and his wif< might go. The citizens of Williamston town ship held a meeting on the 19th, an< resolved that it is unwise and impoliti .to make. any coalition with the Repub lican party, and that they will oppos radical proclivities, carpet.bag oppres sion and burdensome oppression. On hundred and thirty-two names wer enrolled as members ,of the club. Among the resolutions adopted at Democratic meeting held in Lexing ton on last Saturday week, was th following very sensible one : That while we proclaim ourselve: without qualification, Democrats c the strictest sect, yet we invite an urge the co-operation of all hones meu, whether white or colored, wh desire lower taxes, honest legislatio and economical administration. A festive fellow in Hickory, N. C rode his mule into a school.house hitched the animal to the fire-place drove out teacher and pupils, tore u books, smashed slates and window: and knockedl things generally into th middle of the next week. Before h had time to tear down the house Sheriff Cliae harnessed and carried o1 the rascal to jail. What became ( the master is not known, but it is ce: tan he deserved a dose of Hickory. The Spartanburg Spartan says, w arc pleased to find some of our farmer raising their own supplies, and a su: plus to sell. Mr. E. C. Smith, ( Glenn. Spring, sold 900 bushels of oat: for $1.00 per bushel; and Mir. Ishat K. Robinson, who lives near Cashville has sown this winte?, 116 bushelsc wheat. We know of a number others who have done likewise, an we hope that before many years ou people will be found selling everythin Iand buying but little. The Abbeville Medim says coi retly that the colored voters are ur der the best training, and that what ever may be said as to their folly, the are the most faithful political allies i: the world. When the Republican decide on a platform and lays out it work, the rank and file carry it outt the letter. Not so with the Dem< cratic party-every man has his ow set of opinions and his plan for wonl ing out the problem which is to affor relief. If self were put out of sigi and every man pull in the same direc tion,Mhe result in the future would b different from that in the past. A public meeting was held at Lev isville, S.

That we call upon all the true and honest voters of this State to or ganize at once, to rescue its governmienlt from the hands of the R:dical party which has heaped such utter ruin and disgrace up on it. Resolved, 2nd. That this organization be based upon the purest and highest creed of Democracy, viz: strict construction of and adherence to the constitution and laws, tru:h, honesty, economy and the general welfare. Resolved, 3d. That the line of demarkation b e so strictly,and thoroughly drawn between e us and the corrupt party now disgracing this 'State, that no true and honest voter can doubt or hesitate as to which side it is his duty,.to take his stand.

Deeply sensible of the important services rendered by you in checking the confiagra tion~ on Saturday night, 26th February, 186, and saving my dwelling house, I take pleasure in returning you my sincere thanks. To the Hook and Ladder Company for their efficiency and determined pluck in the discharge of their duties, I extend the same. To the colored citizens I am under many obligations for their untiring zeal, industry, and interest manifested in subdu ing the fiames..eThe colored citizens are a host at a fire and work like beavers. I might particularize, but to do so, where there were so many working souls would be invidious. I must say, nevertheless, in the moving out of the furniture and exposure there was nothing of any consequence lost or taken. In conclusion, I cannot keep from remarking that if the colored and the white citizens could work as harmoniously and as united for the organizattion of a good government as at a fire, they might estatulh one of which they would be justly proud, and under the shelter of which they could safely repose.
