The gelkso! the exchange, according to reports presented, are in a most satisfactory condItion. Manager D. P.

Some even go so far as to regard it as a personal "blow-up" for Stokes in his Congressional cam paign. During the morning session several I other matters besides the State Ex- t change were considered, but it was im possible to get any of the members to t divulge them. FIVE NOMINATED. t About 1 30 o'clock the special order bfor that hour, the election of officers, was brought up, and the president called for nominations for the presi dency. The result substantiates all that has been said about laying the founda- I tion of the Alliance State political movement two years hence with the 1 newly elected Alliance president at its head. Before any no-ninations were made a motion was carried that there should be no speeches in making the nomina tions. Thus was the discussion of the Third Party matter delayed, for had it been otherwise the nomination of Mr. Bowden would almost certainly have ( brought it up. t The following were put in nomina tion, thename of Mr. Sligh being some what of a surprise: W. D. Evans, of Marlboro; J. A. Sligh, of Newberry; t M. L. Doualdsou, of Greenville; D. K. Norris, of Anderson, and J.-W. Bow den. s The first ballot was taken at once. Donaldson led from the very jump, but the ballot resulted in no ehoice. A second ballot was then ordered, and when the result was announced Sena tor Donaldson was de^lared the presi- a dent of the Alliance for the next two years. The Alliance then took a recess=till this afternoon. The Alliance reconvened at S o'clock, and at once proceeded to the efection of the other officers and the iransac tion of other business pertain1fg to the work of the Alliance for tle coming y year. The attendance, :ss already E shown above, was not neir so large as at other sessions, owing_tf the depar- r Lure of many of the-delegates. The followipg-are the offie s elected, I exclusive of the president, an-nearly ; ill of then were re-elected: Vice presi lent, W. D. Evans, Bennettsville;.sec- t retary, J. W.

As far as can be ascertained the lee- t nrers in all the districts were all re aected.t It is seldom that the press has been 3 ;reated by the Alliance asit has at this t, esion. The more conservative 't >ers and the prominent leaders seemed P o be heartily in favor of telling the e >ress nearly everything, but the Alli- o mece appointed a press committee with ' Dupree, a Columbia printer, who is a -ampant Tillmanite, as chairman, and sound the. rest of the Alliance not to say anything whatever of the proceed- c ngs. This left the matte entirely in his >ands, and he issued an edict that the A1Hanee did nothing after yesterday's I tision. The entire night until ad- 1 ournment, as ascertained by one out side, was spent in attending to the reg- t talar routine business of the session, 2! much as arranging for the future work 'l >f the various branches of the Alli- ( ance. --6 Many importan$tfiters were dis- C :ussed in full this line and action P Lken. T hird Party matter, so a v eader did not come up at all. I rheras nothing of special business. 3 seem to have been some pretty 8 discussions, but on what subjects it I e impossible to ascertain. How hot diey were is also a matter for the fu- ( bure. - Resolutions were adopted endorsing b the past work of State Lecturer Tal- a bert, and thanking him for the man cer in which he did it, as well as ae- I wrding him the privileges of the 6 Sloor. The Alliance decided to take dive ( hundred dollars in stock In the Stt b Alliance Publishing Company. The mompany submitted its business re ports, and they were approved. e A member stated that the members I infthe Alliance . ad agreed to go to 1 work for the nex year with increased I rigor and build up the,organization. 2 He claimed that -it was now stronger I than it had ever been before.v The Alliance adjourned sine die j about 1 a. m. It was asoertained this evening that a Donaldson was elected ~ya very fi beavy majori&' and that Te result I was merely the outcome of a fall in tention at the very beginning to make l1 I:imr president, and that W. D. Evans's 4 eandidacy for Congress was what de- ] stroyed the latter's hopes. After much difficulty the Third Par y vote was obtained : Bowden got v' mnly eleven votes, the full Third Party I strength in the Alliance on the first- ti ballot, and on the second and last he a only got sven. This shows to what ex- t tent the Third Party, so often threat ened by Tillman, Irby and other lead- la ers, has gone in the Alliance. . p To-night it was_ learned also that6 there is an open breach between Stokes' and Bowden about that famous Third 1 I Party editorial in the Cotton Plant, I which Stokes was forced to repudiateIE iditorial before it appeared, but thi acks verification. A prominent Alliance man, who rery conservative, in talking with m *-night, said they thought they ha he right man now to lead the All Lnce onward and upward. He sai here was a great upheaval among tb >eople of the whole country, but the he Alliance of this State was not yc eady for it. He thought that in tw rears it would be ready to take the heli and push forward in the great battli low does this and that talk of puttin ip Donaldson for Governor two yeal ience agree ? Col. Ellison Keitt, the great Thir Party Alliance man, said to-night thi ie would never vote for Sheppard, t ,leveland, or any man that woul rote for the latter. THE NEW PRESIDENT. Senator Donaldson is regarded b nany in and out of the Alliance as tb rery best man that could have bee ihosen. Ht was born in Greenvil )ounty,and is48 years of age. He fougb brough the war in Aiken's 6th cavalr3 3utler's brigade, and made a most ga: ant soldier. He was a lieutenant i apt. Joe Sullivan's company.

DUNCAN BELLINGER, "Secretary." The Pibble committee appears to be I perfectly satisfied with the answers to Chairman Dibble's letter. The correspondence and action refer red to are as follows: C "CoLUMBIA, July 26, 1882. "Hon. J. L. M.. Irby, chairman and E e Members of the State Democratic Executive Committee of South Caro lf "Gentlemen-Having received notice of your meeting to be held this evening, the Executive Committee of the .con servative democracy of South Carolina has appointed the undersigned as a committee to present, in writing, for the consideration of your committee, the following questions, which have evoked -discussion, and concerning hich different constructions have been announced in different parts of the State. In the intereat of a fair pri p mary election, we respectfully request an explicit declaration on each of the 9 points submitted, and that, when your conclusions shall have been reached, you communicate the same to us, as we Sdesire to conform to the requirements *of the constitution -of the Democratic Sparty of the State, and we recognize tyour committee as the executive body of the party under tbe said constito. - tion: I"First. Are avowed third party men to be permitted to vote at the Democratic primaries in August, when delegates are to be elected to the Sep tember Convention, which will nomi nate the Democratic ticket for presi - dential electors for South Carolina. as well as the Democratic ticket for State -officers? "In regard to this matter we respect- 2 fully submit that there are now in the field candidates for pre.sident and vice president, nominated by the third par- I Sty, calling itself the people's party, and 1putting forth a platform. of principles 2 at variance with the platform of, the -National Democratic party adopted at I Chicago last month. And we call Syour attention, with regret, that va - ions individuals, some of them candi-1 -dates for nomination by the Democratic t & party, have openly declared themselves , in accord with the doctrines of the1 ithird party and opposed to the National t Democratic plat form in those particn- c e lars in which it controverts the doc-< -trines of the third party; and we can nots - see how such men can be permitted to 7 participate in the Democratic primaries unless they explicitly renounce their & third party views and declare their ad i herence to the platform and candidates f of the National Democratic party. 4 e "Second. Are unenrolled Democrats 1 - entitled to vote-at the Democratic pri-c mariesi? I "In regard to this wve are informed - reliably that some counties have i adopted a rule closing iolls five days , before the primary or at the last regular t ;club meeting before the primary; while ,in others no such action has been taken, I .and the rolls, therefore, remain open -for the additions of names on the day of the primary of Democrats not previous- t ly enrolled. "The State Democratic constitution . I declares that "the club rolls of the par ty shall constitute the registry list" at t the August primary. Will the countyI - regulations in this matter, each countyi for itself, in the absence of a general j t rule, be recognized as legitimate in this .election?" "Any reasonable rule, well under-.c ,stood and promulgated, by which every t acility is afforded to Democrats to vote, 12 - and which, at the same time, suffi- t ciently protects the primary from re-C - peating and from the participation ofC those who are not Democrats, seems to us to meet the requirements in this - matter. I 7 "Upon the remaining questions, we .simply request your announcement of I opinion, so that uniformity of action it over the State may be secured. t i "Third. Is a Democrat intitled to - vote elsewhere than where he is en-( rolled? "Fourth. Must a Democrat be a -egistered voter, under the registration aws of the State, in order to beentitled o vote at the August primary? "Fifth. Rule 9, adopted by yourcom nittee, states that a 'a majority of the 7otes cast shall be necessary to nomi iate candidates, and to elect delegates 0 the State Convention.' We are in ormed that at a primary heretofore 2eld a serious question arose whether L candidate, who had a majority over ompetitors for the same office, was sominated because he did not have a najority of the entire poll list, some o t he voters having omitted to vote for the office in question. We respectfully ssk your committee to state whether a eandidate having a majority of all the votes cast for the position for which he 2ffers, is thereby nominated: or wheth er it is necessary for him to have a majority of the entire polll lists thougb aome voters cast no vote for him or hi. >pponents for the position? "Upon these questions, we do not lesire to consume the time of you sommittee with argument, unless it i. pour wish to hear us further upor them. In the latter event the under. ;igned will be at the Hotel Jerome this tvening during the session of youi ommittee, where any communication will reach them. "We respectfully request a reply ]pon the matters suggested,and infor. nation on any other points decided at rour meeting, relating to the primary ilection, to be addressed to "Samuel Dibble, Chairman, Orangeburg, S. C. "Respectfully yours, "SAMUEL DIBBLE, Chairman, "C. P. QUATTLEBAUM, "AARON CANNoN." The StateDemocratic exej:utive corn nittee held an important meeting in ,he hall of the house of representative, -rom which the newspaper men were inceremoniously requested to depart, a arge crowd of "Denocrats" remaining is spectators. All the counties were represented ex ;ept Williamsburg. On motion of Mr. Jordan, the report ,rs were excluded, and then "all Demo. rats" were invited to remain, if they o desired. The communication from Chairman Dibble war read by the secretary. Dr. Lownan, of Orangeburg, moved hat it be received as information. Mr. Bellinger suggested that it be -eferred to a committee of the whole or consideration and answer. Carried. Upon motion the questions asked in he letter were taken up seriatim. The ,arious questions involved were hotly liscussed, and consumed much time. In reply to the first question asked, t was decided to refer the conservative ommittee to Rule I of the "rules gov. rning the primary election" as here mended, to read as follows: "The nanagers at the primary election shall equire every voter in a primary.elee. ion to pledge himself to abide the re nit of the primary, and to support the sominee of the party, and . require very voter in a Demnocratie primary ~lection to take the following oath: "I lo solemnly swear that I am qualified o vote at this election according to the -ules of the Democratic party, and that have not voted at this election." The following words in the rule were tricken out: "Application for member hip or offering to vote in the primary lection shall be deemed equivalent to uch declaration and pledge." .This nakes it an active instead of an implied >edge. Dr. Pope made a inotion to amend be rule so as to make it read instead >f the party "the Democratic party. le did this to strihe at and prevent ny possibility of men voting in the >rimary for Democrats and then voting ubsequently for third party candi. lates. This was carried by a vote of 0 to 11, but was afterwards laid on the able by a vote of 14 toO0. In answer to the second question the vriters of the letter were referred to he latter portion of Article VI of the onstitution of the party, which re uires that the club rolls of the party hall constitute the registry list, and Lso to the amended rules, adopted last ight, and reading as follows: "No >erson shall vote unless he has been nrolled on the club list five days be. ore the first primary election." The lub list shall be insyected by and cer ified to by the secretary and president f the club. and turned over to the nanagers to be used as a registry list. rhis amendment, upon motion of Mr. ellinger, was adopted. The committee answered "No" to he third question, referring to the lace of enrollment and abilty of voters o vote elsewhere. As to the fourth question the com nittee decided that registration under he laws of the State is not required as Squalification 'for voting in the prim. ry. As to the fifth question the commit ee referred the enquirers to the latter yart of rule 10, already of force and read ng as follows: "The question of a ma ority vote shall be determined by the iumber of votes cast for any particu ar office and not by the whole number >f votes cast in any primary." This completed the answer to the )ibble letter, and it was decided that he campaign meetings for the benefit if can.didate meetings for the benefit of andidates for congress and the office if solicitor be left to an agreement smong the candidates as to time and >lace. The following was adopted: "Resolved, That under the rules of he party only three managers of elec ion can be appointed for the primary." This was done in consequence of hairman Irby's statement that some onntiea had appointed fnnu. mnangns, and it was not according to the con stitution, as the managers could not secure a majority in deciding questions that would arise unless the number was three. The executive committees who had appointed four were re quested to meet again and cut off one. It was decided as an amendment to the rules that the respective county committees are hereby authorized to adopt such rules as will prevent the plumping of candidates. A FEATHER IN TILLEAN'S CAP. Secretary Noble's Perverseness Overcome by the Determination of the Governor of South Carolina. Backed by the state's Delegation in Congress. (News and Courier.] WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Presi dent to-day put his signature to the bill introduced by Representative George Tillman, providing for the pay ment to the State of South .Carolina $48,000 for distribution between the Clemson and Clafiin colleges. The South Carolina bill was the first official matter brought to the atten tion of the President this morning when he entered the Executive cham ber. He was familiar with its con tents, so he signed it, without hestita tion. Representative Tillman was de lighted when he heard that his mess yre had become a law, and he at once notified his friends in South Carolina of the fact. It will be remembered that there was quite a long controversy between the State authorities and the Secretary of the Interior over this matter. The latter held that three-fifths of the amount should go to the colored Col lege in South Carolina, and the re maining two-fiths to the Clemson Col lege. The State authorities insisted that the amount should be divided equally between the two colleges under such regulations as might be prescribed by the Legislature. Finally a conference of the South Corolina delegation in Congress was held and Representative Tillman and Senator Butler were designated to look after the matter in the House and Senate respectively. Mr. Tillman pre pared a bill, introduced and made an argument in support of it before the judiciary committee. It passed the House without serious objection, Sen ators . Butler and Irby helping it through the Senate. It was accomplished iu a very neat manner, and all the members of the delegation are t5 be congratulated upon their success in having a law en acted which enables the $48,000 to be distributed ii accordance with the l wishes of the State Legislature.

[Special to-News and Courier.1 COLUMBIA, July 29.-Julius Wise, ~ colored, was executed at Lexington Court House to-day at 12.50 o'clock for the murder of another negro some time ago. It was expected that he would make a confession on the gallows im plicating Sheriff'Drafts in the recent jail delivery by which Wise escaped, but nothing of the sort occurred. He stated that Drafts was not oonnected with the matter. Wise joined the church an hour before the execution and professed belief in his soul's salva tion.

Tolson, of Lancaster; Kibler, of Newberry; Jones, of Williamsburg; Siffley, of Barnwell; Rowell, of Lexing ton, and Nettles, of Clarendon. The chairman made an extended re port of his work in organizing the 3everal counties of the State, showing that every county in South Carolina has been fully organized for prohibition with the exception of Beaufort County. He has visited a number of counties in person, addressing meetings, in some ases large and enthusiastic, and in others small, but pronounced in favor of the movement. In all the counties the work planned by the Convention is being carried out with vigor, and the reports made by the representatives present and by eommunications of those who were ibsent, covering twenty of the most important counties in the.State,show ;he most encouraging. pr and bopeful pro ects for the su of the ause.Inalarge er of counties mandidates alreud nced have expressed themselves in favor of Prohi bition, so that movement will not be without leaders in the legislative con rests in all the counties. Action was taken by the committee :o carry into effect the arrangements with- the State Democratic executive ommittee for taking Prohibition vote n the first primary election. Managers iave been appointed in most of the ounties at the different precincts who will represent the Prohibitionists and ave oversight of the Prohibition vote n the boxes provided, The tickets for prohibition will be provided by the tate Prohibition committee and for warded to thecommittees of the respee ive counties. A resolution was adopted appointing he third and fourth -Sunday in. Au ust, being the Sundays immediately >receding the election, for special rayer in the churches throughout the tate for the success of the cause, and 'equests were made urging the clergy >f the various denominations in the State to carry into effect this suggestion >f the committee. - A resolution was alsoadopted request ng the chairman for.the committee to repare an address to the voters of the tate urging them to support the cause >f Prohibition at the primary election. There was quite a rumpus in the prohibition committee to-night, and he first hour of the session was de roted to it. Mr. S. A. Nettles, the se ~retary of the committee and one of the eading Prohibitionists of the State, endered his resignation of the position ad from the committee as the result. After he had left the hail he was een and he said he intended to send in Swritten resignation. He said he had esigned because the movement had seen taken further into politics than te had any reason~ to expect. The committee insisted on forcing andidates to pledge themselves wheth r or not they were Prohibitionists, bus making some men vote against heir political faction, whereas his mderstanding of the action of the Con rention had been that the committee rere merely to place boxes at the polls a which the sentiment of the people wold be expressed, and the candidates rere mnerely to say whether If the peo le so decided they would carry out he desire so expressed in the box. The committee had construed the esolutions passed differently from him elf and several other members. This vas the very thing that made him vithdraw from the Convention. The eaders had deceived him, he would ot say Intentionally into believing hat his idea of the matter had been ccepted, and had acted in bad faith to im. If they had merely intended to hut his mouth they should have done t in a straightforward way. He concluded: "I just could not wallow the thing, anC after allowing hem some time to try -to convince me was wrong, I pulled ou.t of it. I be jeve that the present scheme will ~reatly injure the cause of Prohibition anthe State." Prof. P. E. Rowell, of Lexington, ras elected to succeed Mr. Nettles as eretary of the committee.

Many become lerelicts, and most of them sink to the Profound depths of that ocean deeper than ever plummet sounded. The first in the United States to hold convention and nominate presidential candidates was the Anti-Masonic party of 1832r with William Wirt for president The organization had barely one object-the ostracism of Masonry-and it carried the electoral vote of one State, Vermont. out of the twenty-four States which - comprised the Union. That oneeam paign was its beginning and its end and it passed into history. Since that time, of third parties there have come .and disappeared the abolition party, the free-soil party, the American party and the greenback party. The American party was the only one of them that had votes in every State, and it carried the electoral vote of one State. The abolition party caused the defeat of-Henry Clay for preeident by running the Birney ticket in New York, which drew away froni Clay .ver 15,000 whig votes; and gave the electorial vote of the State to Polk.. To rebuke Henry Clay on account o his slavery sentiments, they in-effei - elected Polk and put in power the De tnoeratic party devoted to slavery. The free.an;Lyss was founded ande organized by Democrats who-hadbe come dissatisfied with the party. - In 1848 the movement was made to defeat Gen. - Cass for prosident by cay New York against him. It was expected to prevail in any other State. With the Democratic vote divided be- ; tween Cass and van Buren, the ee toral vote of New York was east for the - whig nominee, Gen. Taylor, and made his election sure. The free-soil party wrought the de'w feat of Gen. Cass and the Dem t party in 1848, just as the abolition party had effected the defeat in 1844 of= Henry Clayaud the Whig party. I_ ' each instance it was the woikof men who had become disaffected with # party in.wbiclr they had before.1d fellowsh!p. In 1844 it was resola e rebuke, in 1848 it was partisan-r venge. Neither the aboltionists nor-tlasfree soilers obtained the electoral vote of-i single State, whereas the anti-Masons, and the Americans each carried ti* electoral vote of sState -ani of Vermont; the Americans, of Mary . land. In 1880 the greenback party and-tbe prohibition party entered the field. presidential .candidates. Neither.of them carried An electoral vote of the thirty-eight States. Their- candidates for president, Weaver, of Iowa, and Dow, of Maine, were both, formeire e publicans-the one disaffected,. the other' aerank on his. chief hobby. - Again, in 1884, the two organizations put up candidates for the presidency 'w Butler, greenbacker; St. John; P bitlonist.

Frak LesUe's Popular Monthly for August 2 The Midsummer (August) number cf Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly has mn appropriately breezy and outdoor tone throughout. The leading article, "Summer Outing by the Midnight Sun," by Anna M. Beed, is admirably - written in this spirit, and occupies fresh fields by describing the voyage to N~orway's wonderland and the North Cape. In another charming descrip live article, "The Tuscan Coast" is vie Ited. This paper, with its rich and profuse illustrations, has a peculiar , timeliness, inasmuch as it was.off this same Tuscan shore, between Lehorn Spezzia, that the poet Shelly (the cen tennial anniversary of whose birth is being celebrated in England this sum iner) was drowned,in July, 1822. "Some French Women of Letters," including Mfme. Adam, Severine, "Gyp," "Car inen Syiva"' Judith Gantbier, and others, are interestingly characterized by Arthur Hornblow.
