By its result the collective morality of the Anteri wui iviii uw aim luuii \ fitness to govern themselves with wis-1 dom be judged. To refuse to condemn ; crime is io condone it. To choose as i President a candidate who ha*; betrayed ; a public trust is to invite and encour- i age official infidelity. In a govern-: ment of and for the people, venality j in him who is elected Chief Magistrate j is more portentous of ill than the j shadow of the sword. The wounds 1 inflicted on liberty by I tie hand <>t military power may, in course of time, j be healed; but national blood-poison-1 ing> t>y corruption in high placcs, is ! necessarily incurable.

As you value rectitude and constancy in the servants of the people; as you prize the general welfare.*and are" resolved to secure to posterity your heritage of freedom; so must you, in the coming election, zeal' ouslv and unflinchingly do your whole*I duty. In name, the present political contest is between two great parties, the Democratic and the Republican. In one of these parties, however, the political line is broken.

The people, this year, were ripe for political revolt, but the managers of the Republican machine scoffed at criticism tmd hooted at Warning. Rendered reckless by a long lease of misused power; debauched by ill-gotten gains, the machine-made delegates in the Republican Convention chose as their party's can didate for President a man who attracts to him, as with a magnet, each official rogue and hungry knave; and who draws to him, as like unto like, evety political speculator who craves tie 'means of peculation in fKft Anfnav WTIIA vi u uv accui m?uiuiukv> ivi, misconduct in the past. So it is that, in the person of the leading- candidates, Cleveland and Blaine, good and evil will straggle for the mastery in No. vember. The success of the Democracy is desired by legions of citizens who have ' heretofore looked upon, the Democratic party with dislike, if not with distrust. Former differences are forgotten, now that the country must choose between the high-minded champion of administrative reform and the self-regarding j representative of what is most debas- j ing in Amerlc-.n public life. In the j days of the Revolutionary war, the | embattled firemen of the United Coio-; liies were one in thought, one in pur-! pose, one in action. Whatever their; former associations - or prejudices;! whether they' dwelt on the silvery Hudson or the tawny James; whether they trampefLthrongh the pines of the Carolinas or^Sahiverea and starved on the slopes of Yalley Foi^pe, their only thought was to dare all things, to en- i dure all things, to do all things, in \ order to win .self-rule and accomplish i national independence. This year,! also, the American people fight forj freedom mid deliverance?freedom j from the tyranny of wrong, and deliv-! erance from the despotism of corrnp-: tion. In union, for thcr Union, is j political strength and victory. Fellow-citizens: You would,as loyal i Democrats, take an active part in the j present campaign, even if you were j absolutely sure that, whatever the event in November, you would retain j a frugal, just ami capable government in your own State. But you have "not that certainty. Upon the election of Blaine, the political cauldron would again bubble in this State, and in every State similarly circumstanced. The defeat of Cleveland will palsy the arms of those Republicans who have hitherto striven to check the ferocity and curb thc.rapacitv of. tho political freebooters whe have chosen Mr. Blaiue as their chief. Thoughtful and high-minded Republicans, in evenState, now pledge their votes to Cleveland, because he is the embodiment of the idea and fact of governmental .mil T?s_ilnro i:i Vru vember will deprive them of political influence for many to come. The Federal office?, big and little, are counted by tens of thousands; but there is not scope and; room enough for the profitable employment of the gentry who, as thev "will not be deadheads" in the enterprise" and "sec various channels in which they can be useful," will clamor for participation in the profits. They will demand, "in ease of Blaine's election, the opportunity for more stealing, more rapine and robbery, in the South. The pretext for a "new crusade is outlined in the Republican report on the Copiah affair, and is hinted at in the letters of "Rloir?/? onrl fJpruM'ftl T,ft All. uig the- nomination for President and Vice-President. The Democratic party, the white people of the State and their colored allies, have conducted the government of South Carolina for seven years. In (every department of the State government, in every walk of life, are the marks and symbols of intelligent and upright rule. The chief executive officer of the ?tate has guarded vigilantly the rights of the people, taking care that the laws are faithfully executed, in mercy. The judges on the bench,, in their ability, conscientiousness, and their high conception of t&eir duties, are worthy of the day when the decisions of South Carolina Judges were respected throughout .the land". The public expenditures have been diminished; the interest on the public debt js regularly and promptly met. The school debts, contracted by the Republicans and left unpaid, have been lifted from the shoulders of the UUUUillJUIIill ^ \ dt^iu J \jU\s 1IUIUWL VI pupils in the public schools grows rapidly; the length- of the school session is extended] the pay of teachers is increased. On all sides there are evidences of that steady and healthy growth which was impossible during the agonizing years of Iladical dominion. "So vast "has been the improvement in the condition of the Stale that it is estimated that the whole income Of the people of South Carolina in 1:SS3 was considerably greater than their whole income from every source in ISGO. Of all this?of the tranquility, the security, the comfort, the self: resoecf. the nrofirres?, the pride in your State and in yourselves which Democratic rule gives and secures?the de feat of Cleveland and the triumph of Blaine will threaten to deprive you. Naturally, your first thought is of the :State Government. You control that government in all its departments. In its effect upon your fortunes, in what [it assures and what it promises, the : value of. that control is incalculable. ;With the election of Blaine the old [difficulties will return. The defeat of :the Democratic candidates for President and Vice-President in November will weaken that control. Nay! you may lose it altogether. ; Fellow-citizens: Lack of success in ^ai campaign so auspiciously begun, and Hinder circumstances so extraordinarily favorable, will inevitably loosen the ties which bind the Democratic party ^together. Yet another catastrophe at *^.1 ~ ? .3:i. il :~ A,itt pons win luuuei xt uiuiuiut iu uie "extreme to maintain the Democratic ^organization in its present breadth and ryigor. Faint-hearted Democrats will "be tempted to abandon the losing side and seek new alliances. Opposition to the Democratic party in this State will, indeed, be alarming, when a strong-body of while Democrats, seeking political independence, shall give cohesion and energy to the colored masses. ' From such an alliance nought but evil can come. Then your choice would- lie between submission and revolution. Even if you can, two years hence and two years afterward, elect such a Democratic government as that which the State i*>w possesses," vou will still, ii> the event of defeat in the national arena, be confronted with trials and dangers from which you now are free. It is evident that there cannot be any thorough harmony between the race?, any general co-operation for the advantage of the State, an}- absolute assurance of the permanence of Honest Home Rule while a horde of officeholders, scattered through South Carolina, use the power and authority of the United States as a cloak and a shield in their plotting against the tranquility and welfare of this Commonwealth. They distort facts; they circulate falsehoods; they warp the public service to partisan 'ends. Such conduct is mischievous enough in States where the voters, as a class/are thoughtful and intelligent. It is criminal iu a State where the majority ofthe voters are ignorant, credulous and suspicions. The freedman is only too ready to yield blind obcdience to the partisan behests of Federal -officials. To his untutored mind they represent the United States on the hustings-in the same sense that they represent the Government in any department of the public service. And the professional banditti who pervert to the uses of a political party the agencies which were created for the -general good, run no risk of immediate punishment or loss. Upheld and rewarded, in any event, by the party iii power at Washington, defeat in this State does not dismay them. The custom houses, the postoffices, the bureau of internal-revenue, the court rooms of the United States Commissioners, are then' entrenchments, their.hospitals, their camps of refuge. They sally forth like the freebooters of old when there is any hope nf nlnnrlpr. W thou mr?pf vtrif-h sturdy resistance they retire in haste to their strongholds. There they rel>air damages at the public expense. There they plaster their wounds with government notes paid out to them for suppositious services. There they live and thrive, growing sleek and fat whoever else may suffer. The flag of the United States, waving over them, renders the deu of thieves as inviolable as the Temple of Liberty itself. These knaves, these raiders, these robbers must be banished 'from the public places which they defile and desecrate. Put in the Federal offices zealous, pure and industrious men, who will show their respect for the government by making it respectable, and the political reformation.and industrial restoration of South Carolina wilL . be complete. The cloud which now veils the ever-shiniug shii of progress and content will be dispelled, and the United States Government, as known and jridged by its officers and immediate representatives, will become a trusted agent and friend, looked upon by all good citizens with pride and satisfaction, because worthy, in every part, of ??????i??? the Republic and its people.

Let your courage be equal to your hopes, and you cannot, will not fail, James F. Izlar, Chairman. THE "INDEPENDENT" PARTY. A Secret Convention?Electoral and Congressional Nominations, Etc. On the 20th of August a circular was issued from the headquarters of the Independent party-of South Carolina, 103 Meeting street, Charleston, S. C., as follows: A Convention of the "Independent Party of Sohlh Carolina," will be held at Columbia, on Thursday, September 4,1S85>, at 12- o'clock, m., for thie purpose of making nominations and transacting-any other business which may be deemed for the party's good. The State Committee will meet on the evening before the. Convention at -the United States Court House to transact some very fmpoatant business. All members are urged to be present. J. Hendrix McLane, Chairmau.. T. Barker Jones, Secretary. In accordance with this notice there was a meeting of the so-called "Independents" in Columbia on Thursday last, in the postoffice' building. The proceedings were secret, but it is known that J. Hendrix McLane was chairman and Dr. Bowen, of Marion, secretary. Orangeburg, Charleston, Aikcu, Marion, Fairfield, Chester, Chesterfield autl Sumter arc said to have been represented. It was claimed by a delegate, that there were about seventy-five members in the Convention, including white and colored. All the white men who were present were Greenbacters. The Convention nominated an electoral ticket as follows: At Large? . W. AY. RasseH; of Anderson, and C. C. Macoy, of Chester. 1st District ?J. T. Brown, of Summerville. 2nd District?DrTVVm. Durham, of Aiken. 3rd District?G-. J. Green, of Oconee. 4th District?C. C. Turner, of Spartanburg. 5th District?J. L. Watson, of York. 6th District?A. II. Bowen, of Marion. 7th District?Thos. Baskins, of Sumter. The following nominations for Congressmen were made: 1st District? J. Hendrix McLane, of Charleston. j nr tt t\.. jSUU. JL/iSUIUt? IY . -Li.. JL/Uliuail, Ui ?J*Xl IIwell. 4th District?D. R. Feaster, of Fairfield. 5th District?A. Gr. Johnston, of Chester. 6th District?Dr. M. Kelly, of Williamsburg. No i.oraination? were made for the Third or the Seventh District, which is in accordance with the recent statement of Mr. W. W. Russell, that no opposition would be made to Congressman Aiken's re-election, and also an evidence of co-operation with the Radicals in the Black District. The nomination of a State ticket was entrusted to the State Committee; and their selection will be announced at an early day, should the committee deem it advisable to place such a ticket in the field. The electoral ticket is iu the interest of Blaine and Logan. THE CONDITION OF THE CHOPS. Returns to the State I>epartment of Agriculture for August. The returns to the State Department of Agriculture, September 1, have just been compiled. The reports show that a drought ol irom four to six Weeks has prevailed generally throughout the State, proving very injurious- to growing crops. COTTON. The excessive-rains 111 June and July gave the cotton plant a vigorous growth, and during the latter part of July, after it had been freed of grass, fruited well, but the weed was full of sap and the rains have been followed by cool nights and a protracted drought. These unfavorable conditions have caused the plant to shed heavily. Bust has appeared,in every comity and the bolls are opening prematurely. The growth of the plant has been checked, and in some sections all the blooms and squares have been cast, leaving only bolls partially and fully matured to ripen. The crop Is from ten days to two weeks later than usual. The" yield now depends larger lv. AfinMMftllv fiv thr? 'unrfhprn ninf the State, upou the fall seasons. If frost comes early the crop will be cut short, but a late fall will.be very favorable. This summary of the . returns applies to the State generally, but there exceptions to these conditions. In portious.of nearly every county the correspondents say that where the crops have been well worked and fertilized it is fully up to an average The condition, compared to an average, is reported, in Upper Carolina at 39; Middle Caroliua at 87; Lower . Carolina at 93. Average for the State 89. At the same date in 1882 the condition was reported at 81, and in 1883 at 64. The present condition of the crop, therefore, is below 1882 but better than 1883. corn. The condition of corn in Upper Carolina is reported at 81; Middle Carcli na 95; and Lower Carolina 100. Average for the State 92. In 1882 it was reported at 111, and 1883 at 62. RICE. The condition of upland rice in Northern Carolina is reported at 97.; Middle Carolina* at 94. In Lower Carolina the condition is reported at 98?an average for the State of 9G. At the same date in 1882 it was reported | at 98, and 1883 at G8. Ben Butler's Movement. Chicago, September 4.?Ben Butler left for Minneapolis at ten o'clock this evening-. He will make a short stay at Milwaukee en route. Gren. Butler to an Associated Press representative this morning declined to make any cfufomonf <ie tn rt nrnhahlfi fnsinn with Democrats in Illinois. He had a consaltation during the morning with Oberly, chairman of the Democratic central committee, upon the subject. Members ?f the People's party present at the conference declared that no decision as to fusion would be reached for the present. THE PLAIN'S OF THE ENEMY. WHAT THI2 RADICALS ARK TALKING OF DOING. Opposition to the Democratic Congressmen -The Fight Against SmalLi-The Proposal to Han a State Ticket. [ From the JS"cw$ and Courier.] There is naturally a great deal, of curiosity to know what plan of campaign the South Carolina "Republicans will adopt this year. There are all sorts of rumors in the air about the vigorous efforts that are being made to resuscitate the old corpse, and. -"the leaders" arc displaying more than usual activity in getting their old followers into line again. Whatever the, extent of the revival of Republicanism in the State, there is certainly good reason why the Democrats shouM b<j unceasing in their vigilance. In foar of the Congressional districts which are now represented by Democrats there is talk of opposition to the Democratic nominees, and it has been 'seriously proposed by some of the more prominent members of the party that the Republicans should nominate a full State ticket. This Question and all other questions as to the policy of the party in the State will be determined at the meeting of the Slate Convention in Columbia on September 23. ' UN THE F1UST DISTRICT it is generally conceded among.theJtepublicans that John M. Freeman, - a colored lawyer of Charleston and a clerk in the citv postoffice, would be the strongest candidate that could be nominated for Congress in opposition to the Hon. Samuel Dibble, of Orangeburg. As there is a clear Democratic majority in this district, of course' Freemaii will, uo'tbe elected even if he should be nominated, but it is evident that he is willing to be sacrificed. In conversation' yesterday with a reporter for the J?ews and Courier> Freeman said: ' 'Ex-Assistant District Attorney Marshall is spoken of as the man who will be brought out to oppose Mr. Dibble. I have been urged to accept the nomination myself. I have, never sought the place and will' not seek it; hnf fhpvp arA fp/nr TtrhiV wfinki rfifnfie it if tendered." Other prominent Republicans say that Freeman's chances for the nomination are good, and that he is doubtless the coining man. There is no fear of the result in thisdistrict. No Republican candidate could overcome the Democratic majority, and Freeman's object in becoming a candidate can only be accounted for on the presumption that he has an idea that Blaine vrill be elected, and that Freer.. .u, having encountered defeat for the cause, would then be in the direct line of promotion, and would merit the approval of the Tattooed man from Maine. EN-THE SECOND DISTRICT ^here has been so far little talk of opposition to Mr. "Tillman. Within the last few days, however, S. E. Smith, of Aiken, a colored man, has been mentioned as a possible candidate tor Congress from that district. Smith is. unknown to fame. It is fair to' pre%; diet that he will hare a hard road to travel, but doubtless he imagines that he would not be a dead-head in ease his illustrious leader should be sent to the White House. IN THE THIRD DISTRICT it has been rumored that W. W. Russell, of Anderson, the chain-man of the State Greenback committee in 1882, would be a candidate for Congress against Col. D. "Wyatt Aiken.: There can be no truth in" such a report as Mr. Russell has already openly declared that he will support Colonel Aiken. Even if he should run against Colonel Aiken he would be overwhelmingly defeated. IX THE FOURTH DISTRICT the Democrats will have a "walkover." IK THE FIFTH DISTRICT there has been some talk of opposition to the Hon. John J. Hemphill, but so far as known no definite organization HAS UCCII dtlCUl^lCU vJ Ul<.~ CUWUii^O Vi good government. Ex-Congressman. A. S. Wallace, of York ; county, ba? been mentioned as a probable -candi-. date for the Independent nomination. This can hardly be true, however, as. at is understood that Mr. ^al lace voted, at the recent Democratic primary elect, tion in York county* and-by so" doing declared his return to his old afSiiafciou in the Democratic party. THE SIXTH DISTRICT. J . It is not improbable that the Repubr licans will nominate a. candidate for Uongres.s in the Sixth District in opposition to the Hon. George W. Dargan, of Darlington. In 1882 there was a triangular contest in this district, Mr. Dargan being opposed by Dcas, colored, Republican, and Dr. Bowen, white: Greeiibacker. Bo wen ba^ been exceedingly qniet- since his defeat two. years ago, but'Deas is now and Iras-' been for some weeks circulating rather freely among his "constituents" in the. Sixth District. His speeches '6n several recent occasions have been characterized by great.bitterness, and ; he is doing all he can to influence the passions of his ignorant followers. ' ' ' - ' IN THE BLACK DISTRICT A I.A Z ?? A rtAtl AlCl/VM 11^ UIUIA; lAiiidiuiaui/u; .yuiuiiau/ii in tuc Republican ranks .'arid the Convict Congressman is shaking in his shoes. Smalls is certain, to .have very formidable opposition. Some of his strongest supporters in the past are drifting away from him, and there is no telling where it will end ; The-extent of the revolt against Smalls is not known, but it is more than probable that there will be a sharp struggle for the regular Republican nomination and a hard fight at the poils after the nomination has been made. [There has been some talk of running a Democratic candidate in the Black District, but it will probably not be done. Most of the Democratic papers oppose the movement. Quite a number of Radicals are mentioned in connection with the nomination.] THE GENERAL rOLICY ot the Republican parrty as to the nomination of State and county tickets will be determined at the approaching State Convention. There is a strong: disposition among tne leaders to norm-1 nate a full State ticket. Tbe Democrats could wish for no better luck than that the Republicans should decide to make a straightout fight for every State, Congressional and county office. It would give life and variety to the campaign. It would put the Democracy on its mettle. It would close up the lines all over the Sfatc. It would result in the utter rout of all opposition to the Democracy. It would break up the Republican party in South Carolina liually and forever. [Since the above was published, Mr. D. R.

The French rail-way authorities are at present engaged in a series of experiments from which, perhaps, onr own directors might take some hints. With hot weather coming on, or at least in the ordinary course of nature expected, the problem is now to keep the railway carriages cool. In France travelers are packed very tight, and most trains go very slowly, and the authorities nave to arrange to deliver their human cargoes at a distant termini with vitality not quite extinct So they are now exercised in seeking how to cool their carriages. They have gone as far as India for suggestions, aiyi the favorite experiment is with a kind of punkah. A long cylinder runs the length of the ; roof of the carnage, furnished with fans, set in motion by revolving the cylinder. After many systems tried, this seems the most practicable, and the only point in dispute is how to get the motive force. The surplus steam of the engine has been tried on one line, and on another a little arrangement like a windmill attached to each carriage, Che motion of the train causing the win^s to revolve, while the oc cup ants of each carriage can regulate or arrest the stream of air. Both systems are being tested; and our companies need only take the benefit of those experiments and adopt the most successful or the least costly. The Vermont Election.
