Communications. We publish elsewhere, ue furnished to on, the proceedings of the Republican meeting, held in the Court House, on Saturday even 1 Dg last. As heretofore, we Insert, as onr space permits, articles from all political parties, when coped in unobjectionable lan* guago. The Enterprise Dunne the Campaign. A groat deal is now being said, and much is transpiring, that is fall of interest to the intelligent man. After the la*t nomination is made for President, the political horiion will assume a more definite shape, and politicians will settle down to business, and go at it earnestly. Every thing that occtfrs in connection with the canvass will possess more or less interest, and events should be read and under stood by the people. The E?terj>ritt continues to do its best in famishing as much of the important doings and incidents happening as its space will permit. Those of our County residents who are not already subscribers to it, are invited to examine its columns. We now iurnisb, weekly, from Eighteeu to Tiemty Columns of rcadfng matter, which is prepared with much care. The Sheriffs Sales, Judge of Probate Notices, and othor official advertising of the County, appears in its columns. No farmer can afford to do without a paper issued in his County. We will roreive subscriptions for three, six and twelve months, payablo in advance. We already enjoy a good circulation, but desire to increase still our circle of readers, and will send the paper on the following terms: For three months, in advance, .50 cents. " six " " " $1.00. " twelve " " " 2.00. Refunding of the Cotton Tax. Although Congress has not yet passed an Act refunding the above tax, yet both houses have committed themselves directly to its enactment, and its final passage is regarded as bejond a doubt. Those of our farmers who have sold cotton in the years 1S65, 1806, 1867 and 1868, should call and consult with Messrs. 8uddutii a Scnov:kld, who have been appointed special agents for Greenville County for the recovery of the tax paid on cotton during those years, they being prepared to furnish complete information in refcrenco thereto. Thcro are no doabt more or leu colored men who are entitled to something under the In w, as to bo passed, and our people should render them assistance in securing the inonoy due thens, which might otherwise not reach them, unless iniormed and assisted. For the information of cotton producers, we copy the annexed extract: " Exact Stain* of the Cotton Tax Dill.? In response to many inquiriea upon the subject, from parties both North and South, who are interested in the bill, the Washington Republican says it is still ponding in the Ways and Means Committee, and will be reported by them early in the December session. Both houses have been committed in a direct manner to its passage, and particularly to the unconstitutionality of the tax. The defeat of the Morrill amendment to the deficiency bill was the first indication of the feeling in favor of the proposition to refund. The great bulk of the cases brought before the Court of Claims are ootton claims, aud the fight against tho amendment was made directly in the interest of the ootton producing class. The next, or second, and most conclusive evidence of the feeling ia the premises, is to be found in the fact that the amendment to tho omnibus bill prohibiting the Secretary of tho Treasury from collecting the two cents per pound on cotton judgmonts obtained before the Conrt of Claims, was passed by the almost unanimous vote of both bouses both political parties accepting and committing themselves to the position originally taken by Mr. Dawes and others, when the tax was first imposed, that it was not constitutional." Tho Flrnt Blooms. On Saturday morning last, wo wore handed a Cotton stalk, by Mr. Philrmox Horr, an enterprising and successful planter of this County, containing a bloom fall blown. It had opened the night previously; and on the same stalk, whieh was nineteen inches high, were twelve additional squares. Mr. Horr ssys that be has two fields of twenty-five aores each, in ootton, which will compare favorably with tbia stalk. The field Irom whieh this was palled, to cultivated by an indastrioas and worthy colored man, Joshua Davis. For the post two years, Mr. Hurr has had the honor of brioging into 4narket tbs first bale of the season, and we opine that be will do the same thing in 1872. Mr. E. Farmer, who resides ia the Charles' neighborhood, bas also placed on onr table, a bloom, wbieh opened on Saturday, 22d Inst. We have also been shown n cotton bloom, which opened en Snnday, 2Sd instant, that was grown by Mr. Hbrdrix, near Batesvilln Factory, on the land of Lxstrr Bros.

On Wednesday evening, the Female College hall was crowded to overflowing, with the friends and patrons of the institution, for the purpose of witnessing the Commencement Exercises and listening to the eddress of the evening before the Literary Societies ol the College, by Dr. E. J. Mktnardix. This occasion was one of great interest, and was a rich musical and literary treat to the audience.? To say that the assemblage was a brilliant one, and the exercises most pleasing, splendid and beneficial, is faint language. We do not think Institutions, of this character, can be fully estimated for this annual feature alone in their management, to say nothing of their great educational and refining advantages. We are not prepared to give even a brief review of the remarks made by Dr. Mbyrardib. Bis subject, " Toil?Especially Mental," was treated in a learned and able manner, of wide scope, and wbleb marks him as a man of erudition and eloquenoe.

Daruan waa aloetad Chairman, and Mr. 0. U. Browh Secretary. We ara indabtad to one of tha member* for tha following proceeding* of the meeting: The moating wa* called to order at ft o'clock, Wednesday, June 19th. Mr. T. H. Pora mad* a few remark* concerning the old Conititutlon of the Aaaoeiatlon, which has been misplaced, and proposed, also, that tha recent graduates of tha University he received aa regular member* of the body about to be re. organised. Dr. J. C. Fuuman, on being requested to suggest soma course of procecdure, said that it would not be inappropriate to make aa appointment for an Address at tha naxt maating in June, 1878. Mi. Porn remarked that " Tie Memory of Dictated Alumni" would be a very so liable sohject for an address, and, after several names were pro* posed of men who would be most suitable for the occasion, it was resolved that a committee ba chosen who should select a proper person, and also be vested with the power to make all necessary arrangements The above named committee was appointed by the Chairman aa follows: Mr. William Beattie, Chairman; Prof. J. B. Patrick, Prof. D. T. Smith, Mr. A. Blythe, Mr. J. P. Moore. Th'o Secretary was requested to inform those gentlemen of the appointment, and to make knowh the proceedings through some suitable .usdlum. The meeting then adjourned. Endowment of JTurman University. We bare roccircd a call from Mr. C. N. Donaldson, wbo is now canvassing the upper part oi the State, commencing in this City.-?H< expects to visit and callnpon the people of this and the adjoining Counties for the purpose of solioiting the subscription of bonds for the endowment of Furman University, the plan of which has already been made publie, and which he is prepared to explain. Every- man, or woman, whether having children to educate or not, should subscribe bonds, from three to five buudred dollars; but Mr. D. will take any amount contributed, if no more than five dollars; and everybody should give something. * We bommead Mr. Donaldson to the favor of those bo visits, and unite with him in urging the claims of the institution upon the friends of education. ? < ? The Weather. It has been extremely dry in this County for a considerable timo past; in some portions of it tbere has been no rain for six weeks or two months, this especially in the lower portion ; up above, wo believe they have been more fortunate, getting occasional showers.? On Sunday evening lost, heavy black clouds appeared, and as they boro to the south, wo hope discharged water where it was much needed. On Tuesday evening heavy clouds also boro to the north. We have had one or two slight showers in town, which wore of much benefit. Those farmers most in need of raio, ssy that the dry weather has given them good ^opportunities for oleaning ont their crops and bousing their wheat, and as the grass and weeds have been thoroughly chopped out, favorable seasons from this time forward will give them abundant crops. The com and cotton plants are small for tbs time, still healthy and vigorous. Commercial Visits. During the pant few days, we have had the pleasure of meeting in our City representatives from the houses of Berry BiscHorr A Co. and Oborob W. Williams A Co., well known establishments of Charleston. Mr. W. P. Qcibcbt represents the former, and Mr. Frank Tatlor, son of the late James II. Tatlor, Esq., the latter. These gentlemen are worthy representatives of theii distinguished Arms. All of our dealers in groceries purchase from one or both, making their trade here a very considerable one, and our merchants know their patronage is worth, ily bestowed, as no bouses North or 8outh, extend better terms or deal more satisfactorily. Advertise. The good business man will always keep himself before the people, with an advertisement, in some shape or other. We nevei eounsel injudicious advertising, bat thero is no time when newspapers are more thoroughly read than in the hot, idle summer months, small notioes, then, frequently changed, never fail to attract, and this is the way to " hang your banner on the outward wall." We make advertising contracts of three months at es? peoially low rates for July, August and September. Our ciiculation is good in both town aad country. Call and learn our rates. ' ????

One of the moat diabolical, 1 malicious and uncoiled for murders was perpetrated about nine miles above our j village on last Tuesday yvenipg. Deputy ] U.S. Marshall M. f.

The parties who I perpetrated this hellish deed were lying in 1 ambush near the road side, and as Mr. , Mitchell and ]>arly approached they fired into them, the ball striking Mr. M. in the upper part of the stomach, under the point svf Ik. k .LIA ? ....J 1.1. 1...L vi ?uo uicBOb uuuc, which causeu ms uenn, He died about three o'clock Wednesday morning. Before the party fired upon Mr. M. and party, they called to the negro, to come to them, and immediately thereafter began firing. The negro ran to them when the firing commenced and made good his te> cape. Mr. J. A. McKee, one of Mr. M>. deputies leceived a slight flesh wound in the calf of his leg, in tlw affray. About fifteen shots were fired, and Capt. J. A McKee informs us that they were white.? He did not state whether, he recognised them, but this will be brought out in the Coroner's investigations. A more outrage* ous and unprovoked murder never blacken* ed the annals ol history. The coroner's jury has been empanneiled. and no stoue will be left unturned to apprehend end bring to justice these murderers. We will give full particulars in our next issue.

REMARKS 'ir CAPT. J. KIMS SULLITAK. Fellow- Citiiene :?This is the first time tha* I ever took the public stand to make anything like political remarks. In faot, it is the firat effort of my life to speak in public. It is very true, when a achoolboy, I often mounted the bench or stool to eay something like " Mary bad a little lamb," or " I sigh for the land of theeypreas and pine but here to-night, Fellow-Cilitens, I take the pnblio stand to say something of much more importance, and larger than a lamb?to say something more significant in meaning than oypress and pine? but, Fellow-Citizens, to say, U.
