The State Convention of 10 September, among other things, passed resolntiens asking Governor Richardson to recall his appointments of commissioners of election for the purpose of appointing such persons as the County Executive Committees would recommend. A committee was appointed to carry out the purposes of the resolutions by calling on the Governor and formally presenting the resolutions for his consideration. Governor Richardson has made the following reply: State of Soutii Carolina, } Executve Chamber, > Columbia, September 13, 1800.) Mr. H. C. Bum, Chairman, and others, Society Hill, S. C.?Dear Sirs: I have carefully considered the resolutions passed by the late Democratic Convention, and which I had the honor to receive at your hands, in regard to the recent appointment of commissioners of election in this State. I have been forced to the conclusion that neither right nor law would justify the removal of any of these citizens?among the most intelligent and patriotic in the land?without the assignment of sufficient cause. These appointments were not made until the last day allowed by law, so as to permit of such suggestions and information as might be submitted, but they were never proffered, and in the absence of such information and suggestions the selection of these important officials was made solely with the view of securing for the people the fairest possible expression of their will at the polls. From the high char acter ana intelligence or tnese appointees this result, I feel confident, is assured. For the reasons already -stated, and because it would be an improper use of ray authority as? Governor to remove officers without cause, I am compelled, with the utmost deference and respect for the expressed wish of the Convention, to decline to accede to the request of the resolutions 1 have the honor to be, with great, respect, your obedient servant. j. F. Richardson", Governor. This is indeed a most remarkable year politically and not the least of the remarkable things which have happened is the proceeding of the State Convention referred to above. John Peter Richardson is a Simon-pure Democrat; was elected treasurer three times and Governor twice by the jjemocrars 01 uie state, ana yet ine State Democratic Convention lias by solemn resolution requested him to recall his appointments of commissioners of election simply because the appointees are not of the faction of the party in the mojority in the Convention, and thereby casting an insinuation against the honesty of the gentlemen appointed. The Governor oronerlv declines to accede to their request and informs them that the gentlemen appointed are of high cliaracter and persons of intelligence. He also feels confident that under their supervision the conduct of the election officers "will secure to the people the fairest possible expression of their vriil at tlie polls/' If, however, any cause is shown why any of the commissioners are unfit for the trust, the Governor promises to give such charges due consideration. This he has dene and it is all he should do. r.-rn . -rrf'.-yfif.v. vrtir.ri.. ('dnrernins liailroads. "In ;ill Hie world, for the lariner. th?-re i- no place like South Carolina." S<> thinks C.?l.

In .\il St-uth Carolina Ihete would lie iu? plnci* like FnirlicW, if v\c could only get our people to make u f.rw linitr ;lmn^rv. And fii'.-t we wi.-h (hey could think that railroads are blessings and not curses. Once believe this and it will not belong before we vole our county subscription (o tLe (Jape Fear and Cincinnati Railroad. If a una believes in hauling his cotton fifteen miles to market when he luigbt sell it within three, if he thinks his fertilizers arc more effortive because he has dragged thein through five leagues of Fairfidd mud, when lie might have had them delivered from the ears to his door, if he ijets his mail once a week and thinks himself better oil*than he who sees two mall trains eacli day IIy pa-u ins home, 11 ins cnu?lrcti go to school three months of the twelve and he still thanks God he is not as another nun whose boys and girls aro laught for nine, if lie thinks his farm is more valuable to him at 82 per acre than it would be at ?20, and if lie believes it is infinitely better for society tlfat he and his fellows pay all the taxes rather than have a raiload company and the population it brings help bear the burden fur thein, why then very naturally Le thinks South Carolina a very poor placc to live in. Does our average anti-railroad citizen ever stop to ask himself the grounds of his opposition? Oh! Yes ii would increase our (axes. IIow much property do you pay taxes 011 iny friend, $1000? Well it would cost you about $1.60 per year to have the Cape Fear and Cincinnati! Kail road built from one end of the county to the other. Don't you think you could make that much out of it? Fairfield County now pays taxes upou about $3,500,000 worth ot' property and of this over one-half a million belongs lo the Richmond and Danville Railroad. To build the C. F. & C. would cost the county $0,000 per annum, and the road iUelf when built would pay us in taxes over $3 500 of this amount. Surely we can fcfTord the balance! Those of our readers who have Mudied the value of property in South Carolina and the figures of the eleventh cetims thus f?ir publi>hcd will have seen that tlie most pronounccct increase iti wealth as well as in population has been in the Piedmont section (.f the State which is pre-eminently the railroad building section. And yet Fairfield thiwks it is better to have a railroad in Chester or Union or dewberry than to h.tve it at home! New towns spring " ud and flourish in other counties. "Old towns and dead towns suddenly rattle their dry bones when the steam whistle startles them and still we are afraid to try the experiment ourselvc?. Merer mind, we are waking up and we will have the Cape Fear and Cincinnati! Railroad }et. The croaker will still think his land is poor and that he cairt set along but when some body offers him two or three times what he would have taken fnr his ntaro hn will liotrin trt it* there is not some good in railroads after all.

Politics in Spartarabnrg were flat last wpi>!c nn ihr> Oemopratift shift of the house, but any one happening to drop in at the Republican County Convention, Saturday, would never luve miH^iued such a thing possible. Ever since the memorable campaign of 7G the G. 0. P. has been practically dead in this section. The negroes have had little or no organization and have never attempted to put out a candidate for Congress. The ghost of the departed "G. O. P." must nave risen again, nowever, ior mere was a roiuing meeting in tiic Court House which lasted nearly all day, a regular Speaker llecd Matt Quay common kind of meeting. Long before the hour appointed, there could be seen trooping into the Court Ilou-e black licgroe?, "yeller" negroes and white negroes "Gtvine to de Cahcus of de Ensor export." At li.20 o'clock Chairtnaii Chess Bomar called the meeting to order and fan began from that minute. Frank Williams secretary read lor about halt an hour what purported to be ilie call, which proved so. tiresome .that loud cries began for "caucus. Immediately half a do/en delegates liled into the two jury rooms. When delegates returned L. II. Simms was elected Chairman and A. II. Floyd Secretary of the Convention. After considerable wrangling a committee on credentials was, appointed. While the committee was passing no rolls, I)r. Ensor, a ltepublican candidate for Congress, addressed the Con venlion. In his remarks said that lift wanted that blind bridle oil that eld jackass (it is supposed lie referred to himself) and put on the Democratic party, to keep them from looking back. If they look forward the colored man will soon be on an equality with the white man. but the Democrats want to look backward, lie spoke in this style for half an hour and was constantly cheered. The Chairman then announced that the purpose of the Convention wa* to clect delegates to the State and Congressional Conventions, and appointed a nominating committee. Doing the interval the time was occnpiul with speeches as only thoroughly enthused darkey can make. Tf nr TJiipnln'c ohnst hrnl hnn pened i'^ie would have thought the millennium was surely coming". Such patriotic utterances, so full oflove ot country?love of neighbor?love of the white man and every thing else imaginable. When the nominating committee made their rep?rt, there was a great and mighty change. Of course every member could not be a delegate and there were some loud and strenuous kicking especially from the auti-Ensor side. We have heard that a barrel or so of monkeys thrown in together can have fun, and make a fuss, but Judge Jones (Trial Justice under Moses) and bis followers would have left them in the cold. The Chairman was referred I j Highest of all in Leavening Power.DnY\l & X ABSOW | to as a "black and unprincipled rasj cal," and all manner of bad and evil ! things said. He kept a tcreuc and { smiling countenance all the (iine and never for once lost his temper.

It was our good fortune to meet | Messrs. Ilayne McMeekin, Joe Davis ! A. G. Bookman in the citv last week. In conversation with Mr. Bookman i we were more than pleased to learn ! that politics would be adjusted to the j satisfaction of both parties. While we are decidedly anti-Til!man and strong ly opposed to any compromise, still j for the good of our people in Fairfield j some action should be taken to bring j both factions info one fold. Major Duncan will in all proba: bility be the candidate chosen to repj resent this district in Congress. We learn from reliable information that he will carry the majority of the county.
