Action .of the State Democratic Exec utive Committee. By reference to the resolutions adopted l>y the State Democratic Executive Committee, at their re cent meeting in UolumDia, in win be seen that tliey deem it unwise to nominate a State ticket, and decline to call a convention of the people for that purpose; and whilst placing upon rccord tlfcir condemnation of . the corruption and robbery tliati have pervaded every department of the State Republican Administra tion, call upon the party to redeem their pledges of honest and econom ic! government, without indicating o- 7~~7~! ?-> their prefercnco betwbcn the two wings into which it is now divided. And for tiie purpose of wielding the party strength most effectually, they direct the speedy appointment of County Chairmen, who shall act as they may deem most advisable, to secure the largest measure of lo <ui1 and legislative reform. This action of the Committee, *ve think, will commend itself to the cordial approbation of tlie peo ple of the State, as eminently wise and proper. To have done other wise, and nominated a State ticket, would have healed at once tlie Re publican feud, brought both wings .together, and provoked a strict party fight, which could only have <eaded in a. disastrous defeat <>f the democratic State ticket, whilst it jRoultl have hazarded every hope of legislative and county reform. As, ,it is, the Democracy reserve their .strength, and hold themselves aloof feom the contest which is being waged ..between tlio two wings ot the Republican party, being free to support that which shall show by. its act?, the desire to fulfill its pledges of entire and thorough re form. ?To choose between them, is, indeed, a choice of evils, but Ave have no other alternative, and to secure better legislative and county o v officers, it .will be necessary to make that choice which the progress of events shall indicate. iOrie of pur contemporaries, tlie jfjuzmx, urges mat we iuu.h.t; it Presidential canvass nnder the hau lier of Liberp.1 Republicanism, let ting go^npw an^l forever, our Dem ocratic principles, and Dempcratic organization. But why drop our njime and organization, and thus sacrifice more than is demanded of the party in otfycr States ? Simply to conciliate the blacks, who are .not satisfied with the past record of fho rmrtv. nml cannot be oersuaded ?" r ?r to unite with Democrats co nomine. But will a change of name apd or ganization effect a union, and bring them over to the white man's par ty ? It is idle to hope for it, and erery day's expedience shows the jfylly of attempting any such device. If we were fro go into the Presiden tial canvass, lot us go as the party has gone elsewhere, still mindful of :its traditions, and preserving its organization, "but uniting, .far the time being, with that wing of the Republican party, which promises the largest measure of"reform.

Tho importance of a .proper selection, aud a united sup P9rt of the nominee grows out of tho fact that it (i.s tho only District in which thcro is a chanco of electing a Democratic -Candidate; tho Ecpub litan eandidaxos in the Fir3t and Sec ond Districts and for tho State at largo being certain of election ; and also most probable in the Third Dis trict.

The Bolters from the regulai Republican Convention, held meeting in Charleston on Frida O ? night of the past week, which de veloped, in full strength, the old feud between the Bowenites and the Mackeyites. The former, knowing the strength of their op ponents, sent for recruits from the iolor?ilo *rO r?, ?rwl OUH vuiiuiiig ICIUUUOj <11114 JPUH.VU them iii front of the speaker's stand to preserve order. The Maekeyites were somewhat discon certed by tliis step, hut managed to keep lip a running fire of interrup tions. Speaches were made by Tomlinson, AVhipper, Corbin, Gail lard, Sawyer, Hurley, and others, but in the midst of much disorder and confusion. Senator Sawyer was forced to bring his remarks to an abrupt close after saying, "that if a man cairt speak in this assemblage, it is in vain'that the manacles have been stricken from your hands. You ought to hang your heads in shame that. you refuse to hear a man who lias been laboring nfght and day to give you the same privi leges that other people enjoy. The men who are interrupting this meeting are slaves to one of the most contemptible pimps and pan dercrs to the Ring?a man who ob tained, through my bounty, the money with which he is paying for the whiskey he gives you now. Talk about the Civil Rights Bill. I tell you that two years mQre of plundering of the State Treasury like what has been done last year, and you colored people will have no more use to talk about the Supple- 1 mental Civil Rights Bill-" Tim Hurley's quick wit and ready repartee obtained for him tliat hear ing which none of the other speak ers could get. At first lie was in terrupted by a shower of questions, and one fellow, more loud-mouthed | than the rest, wanted to know how , about buying the Legislature. "Shut up," replied the facetious i Hurley, "I don't want to buy you, because there is some meat that stinks so bad that even I don't want < to buy it." This shot to.Id on the rabble, and Tim was master of the situation. lie continued his speech in comparative quiet, and made a very efi^ctiyb one, too. He was followed by other speak ers, and after a great deal of ratify ing, the Bolters adjourned their meeting. : Protection from Lightning. In theso days of thunder-storms, and constantly recurring casualties i from lightning, a statement of the, ' conclusions of a late writer in Apple ton's Journal, as to the best mode of protection, may not bo uninteresting to our readers. The lpss pf lil'e by lightuing, is greater .than that on our worst managed railroads, yet very efficient protection is_afforded at least i in ships and houses,hy properly con-' stucted l'Qds. Tlio London monu ment two hundred feet high has nev er beon struck, whilst lower buildings in <he vicinity have been struck; and this exemption is ovnng to the fact of " ' 1 P..L Deing iurnisneu wun [jcncui tuuuu^ tors; and many examples of.similar exemptions are furbished. Tho great bulk of scientific men arc unanimous in favor of lightning rods and thp best mode of construc ting them, and accord for the most part tho preference to the old rod described by Franklin. The points to bo attended are these: 1st that the rod be of sufficient size; an iron rod, , one-half inch square, or. a copper rod, ono inch wido, and one-tenth of an inch thick?2nd, that the rod bo car ried along tho ridge and corners of tho gables, connected with tho tin, , roof, gutters and water-spouts, and not insulated,?and 3d, that there is no , safety unless the rod be carried into the ground below thev level of the neighboring, wells. In a storm the safest place is in aj house wit^ a good rod?tho most dangerous under a tree; and tho middle of an open field is nearly as bad. In a houso unfurnished with rods, the most dangerous place is near a fireplace or chimney, aud where the water-spouts aescenu.

II. Cornish, of Fendleton, .isited our town on Saturday last, and held interesting religious servi ccs in Trinity Church, on Saturday night, and again on Sunday morning and Sunday night, in tho presence of fuli congregations. Bishop Howo is the sucecssor of tho lamented Bishop Davis, having been elected Assistant Bishop in May, 1871. and upon the death of his'Scnior, last winter, suc ceeded to the full prerogatives of the office in llus Diocese. Ho possesses that rare Combination of qualities, intellectual and moral, which emi nently fit him for his high officc. On Saturday night, prayers were said by Rev." Mr. Cornish, tho lesson read by ftcv. Mr. Miles, and the ser mon prcacnod by : tho Bishop, from John 1: 4S, "Before that Philip called thco, when thou wast under tho fig tree, I saw theo j" presenting a stri king view of tho Divino Omniscence and of that leeling 01 awo ana jmoii of self-diseip'ino, which grow out of n proper conception of this attribute of Lhe Divino nature. On Sunday morning, tho morning prayers were said by Mr. Miles; the tinte-communion by Mr. Cornish, and tho Bishop preached from Matth(w vi: 33, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, aud his righteousness;" and the sermon was an able and earnest plea in behalf the claims of the spiritual and eternal, over the fleeting and pcrishablo. After the seimon, the rite of Confirmation was administer ed to five .young ladies, and after wards tho lloly Communion was dis pensed. At ni<rht after prayers b.y .tho at tending ministers', the Bishop preach ed from 2 Peter, ii: 15, upon the sin of Balaam "Who loved the wages of unrighteousness," and made a strong protest against the insane thirst after riches, which is the characteristic sin of the day. Tho Bishop is a profound theolo gian, and to high natural ability has added the fruits of scholarly research and varied culture. Ilis discourses were listened to with great interest by large congregations. ^ ^ ? The Election in ?The nmA nr\ m no nn llin I Hh inst., and both parties .are pres sing tho campaign very vigorously. rh~e Administration ard sending the )est speakers, and it is said, are using he public money as liberally as in ?orth Carolina.

As the Ilepubli ?ans carried the State in 1SG8, by a rtoiniMtsr nf oft nfiO tliA TiiharAla and Democrats can scarcely liopo for more than a reduction of the Repub lican majorities. A Case for the Doctors.?Miss Anna Ligon, a 3'oung lady of the neighborhood of Lebanon Church, when quite a qhild qnd .more than twenty-five ago, ran two dogwood splinters in the lower part of her foot, which remained concealed and gave' no pain until recently, when inflama tion and suppuration supervened, and tho splinters were discharged from tho upper pnrt of the foot. They had remained buried in the flesh mori than twenty-five years, without pain, and were then thrown out. "Why the long delay and the filial result? Let tho doctors answer.

At their last meeting they debat ed the question, "Which causes most evil, wealth or poverty," which after a stout argument on both sides was decided in the ."af firmative"?that is, that "money is the root of all evil."

On Saturday las.t, a .pleasant Barbecue Dinner came off at Warren ton, at which there was a full representation from the surrounding countr}*, and also from our towi.. The tables were spread in the cool gro\o in front of' Cape. \V. K. Brooks' rosidence, and here a bountiful repast was served up, at 12 o'clock. Nicely barbecued meats, and choico vegetables, and delicious cako made up the sumptuous feast, to which tho company did am ple justice.

Editor Abbeville Press and Banner It has rarely been my privilege to CDjoy such a treat, as that afforded on tho evening of the 30th, by the Lecturo of Prof. J". K. Blake, of Da vidson College, North Carolina. Dr. E. It. Calhoun, in introducing him to tho audience, said that ho was glad to announco the presence of one whom wo were proud to claim as of us, who was born in our midst, and though so long absent, it was only to gather the full reward of hiu merit, and to bluss others by the dissemination of thoso truths, with which he had ren dered himself ro familiar. Now that lie was with us again for a short ime, we had assembled, to receive at his hands, a contribution m our be half. Prof. Blake, rising, acknowledged the compliment in an ek-gant aud feeling manner; and, proceeding to the duty of the hour, said that he had chosen for discussion, the subject of "Light." The inquiry "What is Light?" would exhaust the timo al lotted to him, were he tD consider the different theories advanced on the subject; and, after a review of tho whole, the question wonld still arise, "What is Light?" lie desired to treat the subject in a practical view, hv vofnrnnfio to the Sllbioct of light, und its effects, as exhibited iri tbe sunbeam. We would not attempt even a meagre outline of the lecture, whijh was so full of instruction, force, and elegance. We could give no idea of tho beauty, the power and grandeur possessed by tho gentle, genial sunbeam, regarded as the en ergizing and controlling agency of the universe,?on thjone hand, devel oping and giving beanty to tho blushing rose, or imparting lifo and vigor to tho most delicate germ, by its genial warmth ; on tho other hand, blasting with its scorching ray, or evoking tlie fierco spirit of tlio storm. Tho Lecturer said it mi^ht, in one Pr'nso, bo callod the Recording Angel of God. Few of us who wero pres ent will bo ablo to effuco tho impres sion, so indellibly made upon our minds, that wo live in a photographic gallery, where every word and act of ours is impressed on the .objects around us, by this recording angel of light?invisible, it is true, for the present, just as the image, impressed upon the Daguerreau's plate, is invisi ble, till it has been subjected to the chemist's art, but only awaits the nlfiflsnro and skill of tho Divine Art ist to open the book of nature, which will reveal to us, in pcrfeet delinea tion, every word and aet wo have said and done. What a picture! Who could behold it! IIow wonderful is the sunbeam ! Prof. Blake's stylo is pure, his enunciation distinct, and his i.lustrations arc pointed and forcible. Tiie Army Worm in Mississippi.? A correspondent of the Memphis Ap peal, writing from Duran, Mississippi, says that up till within a very few days the cotton crop in Central Mis sissippi never promised better. Since that time the much dreaded army worm has made its appearance, and is making sad havoc among tho bolls, giving every indication that the greater portion of the crop in that vicinity would be ruined by its rava ges. This information is not of a hearsay character, but it is from actu al observation. On iho bottom lands cotton is always later than that grow* on tho uplands, and tho consequence is that the uplands cotton, being re mnrl.-nhlv \rnll trl'nwn.
