ihe Press and Banner By Hugh Wilson. Wednesday,"July 2,1884. The State Convention. Elsewhere in these columns may be found the action of the Democratic State Convention. It will bo Been that the old Stute officers have been re-nominated ts, atnf?i>tiition. While we do not think the action u desirable one, yet we shall not quarrel about it. It may have been in the interest of harmony. It !s, in our opinion, possible that some of the old officers would not have been reelected if nominations had been deferred. It we are enabled to read between the lines of the platform and to interpret the iaction of the Convention, there was an uncommon amount of "old boiled crow" swallowed on this occasion?merely for the sake of harmony, of course. We are plad to notice that Abbeville bore off a full share of the honors. Capt. W. Z. McGhee will go to Chicago^ and Mr. Benet has been made Presidential j Elector for this Congressional District, j This is an unexpected honor to one ofi his ago?he being twent3' years younger' than any one of the six other District! Electors, and the only untitled man in j the lot. All the others are Generals, Gov- j ernors, or something of the kind-, while I he is plain Mister. The "Misters" are! Coming to the front. The office of Presidential Elector is one j of great honor and responsibility. By Art. II, Sect. 1 of the Constitution of the; United States it is prescribed that each "i-?n onnnint in cin<h manner as! OWIC OUUli . the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the ! Congress ; and it provides that no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the | United States, shall be appointed an j fclfector. The General Statutes provides for the [ appointment of the nine Electors, the, number to which our State is entitled,? one for each of the two Senators and one | for each of our seven Representatives, i These Electors, and not the President j and Vice-President, are voted for by our ! titizens at the general election. The Electors who receive the highest number; of votes, that fact having been certified to ! by the election commissioners of each i founly, meet in Columbia on the first Wednesday in December to form the College of Electors, and then and there they Vote by ballot for President and VicePresident The result of their balloting, Healed by the Secretary of State, is sent !i by a messenger to the President of the tJnited States Senate. Due West. We are indebted to Mr. R. S. Galloway for the {interesting account of the Due ( West Commencement and historical ( sketches. We had hoped to write something ourself but find it impossible to get it in the paper. CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. Third Congrettsloual Dtatrict. OI oats swept lrum turn iai ma, I) Hire ' many others have tost grain in smaller amounts. Much of the bottom corn has not been plowed, and the land, even with dry weather will be too wet to plow for sev- ! oral days. The corn, in many instances, has been overrun with weeds ana grass. There is much of the cotton crop that has never been worked, and in many instances the land is being thickly covered with grass. The damage to farming lands every where is not to be computed. Much of the soil oa the hills and slopes has been carried away, and in many instances the crops, and all the soil in which the}' were growing on the bottoms, "has been carried away, and in other instances the crops and Boil'have been deeply covered with sand { or mud. Bridges, mills, dams, houses, and fencing were swept away. As far as heard' from the following named bridges, except where otherwise specified, have been washed away: < on rocky river. \ The bridge at Milford's lower mill. i The Double Bridges at Lowudesville. 1 The bridge at Young's mill, And Raitord's bridge. The bridge at Swearingen's was not i Washed away, but was badly injured. I ok penny's creek. i The bridge at Miller's. on little biver. Aljwine's bridge. Robinson's bridge. Martin's mill bridge. Pettigrew's bridge. Fair's. Wardlaw's. and Davis's bridges are injured. ON CALHOUN'S CREEK. I Liddlo's bridge. j ? Brooks' mill bridge. McGaw's bridge. Liuk's bridge. ON JOB'8 CREEK. The bridge is injured. ON LONG CANE. Cochran's mill bridge. Morton's mill bridge. Patterson's bridge. Dendy's and McKettrick's bridges are Injured. ON CURLTAIL CREEK. Cannon's bridge. Wharton's bridge is injured. ON TURKEY CREEK. The bridge near Turkey Creek church. Agnew's bridge. ON BROADMOUTH CREEK. The bridge near Erwin's mill. There are about forty-three bridges in the cou nty, and so far as has been ascertained, twenty have been washed away and eight have l>aen damaged, making twenty-eight bridges washed away or; damaged. Further reports will no doubt run this number up to very nearly thirty. It will probably cost the county nine or ten thousand dollars to rebuild and repair these bridges. Such a vast injury to bridges has never before happened in this county. Travel is necessarily much impeded. The Uavannah river is too high for the mails to jrossitand some other mail routes have been temporarily stopped. The oldest inhabitant cannot recollect having seen such rains at this or any ! other season, as we have had fur the past two weeks. Champion Farmer. Mr. H. T. Tusten of this 'town sowed | two acres and a half in barley last Fall. He cut it when it was ripe, put it in his ! bam without allowing it to get wet. A j few days ago he threshed it, and he measured one hundred and fifty-one and a half bushels of clean! dry barley from the crop. The land was well planted iu cotton as soon as the barley was out. If any farmer in Abbeville County c<ia beat this, let him speak out. ? -i ? ? Bridges on Little River. The Barnett's bridge, the Fair bridge and the Martin's mill bidge are gone. The Wardlaw bridge and the Davis fcridge are badly injured; The County Executive Committee. The County Executive Cominitteee ha.< been culled (see advertisement) to meel in Che office of the County Chairman Mr. Benet, on Monday morning next, before the Convention* assembles.

J. llowen of our county sowed a bushel and a peck of wheat last Fall on an acre and three-quarters of land, and threshed from it fifty bushels of as pretty wheat as any one need to see.

The editor received the present of the largest turnip in America on Monday. We had turnip at our house for dinner yesterday, while those of our farming friends who neglected to sow turnips had a less luxurious dinner. It is probable that an extra train will run to Ninety-Six on Friday next, to accommodate those who may Choose to go to the grand barbecue and Democratic mass meeting on the glorious Fourth.

The Presidential Outlook. {From the Washington Star, June 23d.) The talk In Democratic circles about Wafchniiion for the past two flays has not been so avorahle to Cleveland as previously, but this may be accounted for by the fact that all who ire booming uny other candidate concentrate heir tongues against the New York Govern>r. It is general!y admitted that If he sets he New York delegation lie will have practisilly a walk-over at Chicago. Hence, those vho'nre urging Bayard. McDonald, Field and Slower must, In order to make out any sort ?f prospect for their respective candidate, repesent that Cleveland cannot command a Majority of his own delegation. But, notwithstanding the loudest talk seems to be igainst Cleveland, he still has, very clearly, he strongest advocates. Among Democratic netnbers of Congress it is probable that six >ut of ten speak out for Cleveland. Nearly all tie Democatic members from New York, inputting some tiiut are Taiiimaiiy men, are for lie (iovernor. Outside of the Tmnmany ::owd. the general expression is that its oppoition will not hurt him in the State or outide of it. Tammany Hall, they say, has nade war upon every Democratic Governor of New \ork for years. It fell out will) Nltlen, and antagonized htm at every step. V lar^eTammany delegation went to iheSt. ?ouW Convention, vowing that Tilden could lot carry New York. Robinson had not been iovernor any length of time until Tammany i-as denouncing and opuosing him, and, in irder to detent his rc-election, the entire oranlzation bolted. Cleveland was scarcely omfortably installed until Tarmuany was loundlnghim, and for the very same reason hat It had fought Tilden and Robinson?a [tiestion of spoils, A New York Democrat, n talking of these quarrels, said it was imto.tsible lor any Governor to accede to the lnirdinat* demands of Tammany as to patronise without forfeiting the respect and contl lence of eNcrybody else in the State. He said hat a Democratic Governor must be simply i tool of Tammany if he gets its support, and hat, as the people of New York understand his so well, Cleveland will gain strength iinong the better elements of his party beause of the hostility of Tatnmnny. The Igns yet point to the presentation of Cleveaii'1'8 name at Chic-igo by the New York d?-lgation, notwithstanding the surface talk to lie contrary, Items from Due West. A colored man was drowned in a creek on lie Saluda section above Donalds last week, le attempted to cross the creek, leading one nuleand riding the other. All went under, lie mule that was being lead pulled the man >lt' and that is the last seen of him. The rains of the hist lew weeks have been inprecedented in the history of our oldest inlabltants. The corn that is left standing near he streams have their blades riddled us If truck by the hail. In mauy places the :reeks have quitted their channel. Mr. W. T. ,'owan who Is doing his best looking after the iridges tells lis that there are large chasms va-hed out in the bottoms on Long Cane that vill hide whole dwellings. He says that good ized trees standing on the banks are pealed, fhe logs and rnfis coming down with such orce have berett them of bark. He states the ondilion of the bottom crops as pitiable. In nany cases men have lost oats and wheat, i ["lie flood has taken them from the low1 [rounds. Mr. W. T. Cowan, County Commissioner, isn.9 im ui wij iv ma tiicuus \\ uv uic living t i?ar the bridges (hut have been swept away md whoare becoming impatient, to give him i little time, as he is riding nil the time and vlll get around to them as soon as he can. It seems tl.ai only about two goud DrliUesare eft standing' In the county. Calhoun's Mills jrldge Is one of them. There were twenty-three candidates at the :omineuceuient last week In Due West. It. ? la ex-Slave's Revercnce for his Former Mistress. Mr. C. B. Owens, the marble and stone :uiter, has received a letter irom Simeon Moore, a colored man at Ninety-Six. Abbeville County. He asks Mr. Owens to prepare rorhiin u tombstone ol a certain kind, and promises that he will forward the money as toon uk the work Is done. He explains that lie wants tiie sloue lor the grave of his old mistress, Mrs. Charlotte Moore, who was born in Powhatian County, Va., in 17811. and died In Abbeville in 1S68. He desires ine Inscrip lion to tell the dates of her birth and death, ind add, "A good mistress, an humble Christian, and loved by all who knew her. There Is no trouble in the grave." Simeon explaind that he himself is 77 years old, and expects to follow his beloved mistress, for whom his utrection has survived sixteen years, before long, and desires to honor her memory and mark her grave properly before he dies.? CireeenviUe Aeuv. . 4^* Raleigh, N. C., June 25.?The Democratic State Convention to day nominated Gen. Alfred M. Scales for Governor and Charles M. Steelman for Lieutenant Governoi. The delegates to Chieago Convention were elected, ine delegation is divided between Bayard and Cleveland. A dispatch was received from General Scales, announcing his ucceptauce of the nomination. "Mr. Bayard"?remarks the St. Louie GlobeDanocrai?"is not the tlist man to be beaten tor the Presidential nomination by one of his own speeches. It is said of Daniel Webster, by one of his biographers, that lie was defeated for the Presidency by a single sentence in his Plymouth ltock speech?one in which he declared that 'all Government is founded on property.'" Because the fools are not all dead yet, It is worth while to notice particularly the fact that Judge Flnletter. having before him a man convicted of pointing h pistol at another, sentenced theotteuder to three years Imprisonment. This is under a Pennsylvania statute, and the sort ol people who "did not know it was loaded" are particularly interested in the lesson. I Washington, June 23.?This evening while sitting at the table. Senator Bayard of Delaware, explained his exact status in the following straight-forward manner: "'Rather than be nominated tuidera misapprehension of what coula be brought against me by which my party might be able to charge defeat to me in the event of its sustaining one, I would decline to permit iny name to^o before the Chicago Convention. I stand on my record, and I have nothing to take back. If the politicians ?ee fit to condemn ine lor a speech I made In 1M0, 168'), or at ally other time, during my life and public carcer, I >>hall not attempt to stay their bauds." Only let a woman bp sure that she Is precious to her husband?not uselul or valuable, not convenient simply, tint lov, ly and beloved; let brr bo the recipient of liis (lOilteaml hearty attentions; let tier feel tbutber love ai.d care is noticed, upp-ectaud and returned: let her opinions be respected in matters of which she i? cognizant; In short, let her only be loved, honored and cherished in fulfillment of the marriage vow, and she will be to ber bnsband, and her children, arid society, a well sprieg of itleasure. She will be.ir pain, toll Bnd anxiety, for her husband's love is to her the tower of a fortress, shielded and sheltered therein, adversity wi.l have lost its sting. She may suffer, but sympathy may dull the edge ot ber borrow. A house with love In it?and by love We mean love expressed in words and deettafcfor we have not one tpark of faltb In love that ueVer crops out?is to a bouse without love as a person to machine; tbe one is life, the other mechanism. The unlovely woman may have bread just as light, a house just as tidy as the other; have a spring about her Joyoui-ness, an aggressive and penetrating and pervading brightness to which the former is a stranger. She gleams all over with It. It Is airy, and gay, and giaceful, and warm, and welcoming with her presence. She Is fall of devices and plots and sweet surprises for ber bnsband and family. She has never done wiih the romance and poeiry of life. She Is hersell a lyric poem. S< ttlng herself to all pure and graclous melodies. Humble household duties have for hei golden significance.

Mr. Hutson, of Hamilton, made a point of order that all resolution* must, under the previous action of the Convention, go without debate to the resolutions committee. Col. Haskell, of Klchland, thought the Convention should waive temporarily the enforcement of the rule. The chair decided that the resolution must go to the committee without debate; Senator Henderson's resolution providing lor the election of delegatcs-at-large came up and was iigreed to. Mr. Livingston, of Marlboro', said that the suite demanded civil service reform, taritf reform and economy in public expenditures* With these views he had the pleasure of nominating a delegate at larue to represent the Democratic parly of South Carolina. It was true that this gentleman lives In another part of the State, but he supported him because he was a tit representative of the ability, character and Ideas of the State, a genial gentleman, a thorough man, a virtuous citizen. "Who did not kliow Chris Suber, of Newberry?" [Applause.l Mr. MeCollough, of Greenville, said: "I rise to present the name of Gen. Wade Hampton. I am sure that euiogy on my part Is unnecessary.

Bryan, of Greenville, said: "In addition to the great battle fought on the stump In '7G there was a fight still greater, an Intellectual fluht fouirlit in ihe courts of the State. On such an occasion as tills the Democracy would be unmindful or duty, unii)iiidlul of grulltude, did they fall to recognize the services of the then attorney-general of the State. He Is a man thoroughly versed In the affairs of the State, a man eloquent and powerful. He nominated, as one whose characteristics and services entitled hlrn to election, the Hon. Leroy F. Youniuns, of Richland." IGreat applause.] Gen. Kennedy, In an eloquent speech seconded the nomination of Gen. Erwln, of Lancaster. He represented the great interest of South Carolina, agriculture. The modest county of Andrew Jackson and Marion Sims would be recognized in his election. [Applause.l Mr. Thos. F. Moorman, of Newberry, seconded the nomination of Col. C. H. Suber In an enthusiastic eulogy. Gen. Hagood nominated Major Harry Hammond, of Aiken. He had served his State well in war und peace. Ills recent work on South Carolina, published by the agricultural department ot the State, had greatly aided South Carolina wherever it had gone. This book is doing and would do more lor South Carolina than any publication for twenly-flve years. He represented the principles of reform, and his wise conservativlsm would be valuable in the National Convention. Mr. George S. Bryan, of Charleston, seconded the nomination of Major Hammond. He was the man to send?pltdced to no candidate, he would give the situation wise and thoughtful consideration, and do what was best for the State and for success. Major Bulst, of Charleston, said that the Convention had wisely limited all speeches to Hve mluutes. The gentleman whose natno he had the honor to present would not need one minute's eulo*v. He believed that the State had In each county enough lilghloned and distinguished gentlemen to make up the Chicago delegation. The Convention could not err In selecting any of the gentlemen nominated. He lound In each county eminent citizens admirably fitted for this representation, but in view of the number of nominations he thought It best to elect one from the eastern, the western, the northern and the southern sections of the State. He presented the name of the only gentleman named from lower South Catolina, Capt. F. W, Dawson, the distinguished editor who had done so much for the State. [General ap plause.J He was a man ot genius and power, He would go to Chicago not for the purpose 01 electing Mr. A. or Mr. B? but such a man as would march in triumph Into the While House and make a great Democratic I'resl I dent.

A gentleman of prudence, he knev when to be eloquent lu speech and when u be eloquent in silence. Mr. U. Ji C. Ilutson warmly seconded th< nomination of Gen. Youmans. [Applause. He would only point to hl8 record as a part o the history of Sooth Carolina and a brlllian part. He hesitated not to say that South Car olimi in honoring her silver-tongued orato would honor herself. Mr. J. M. Johnson, of Marion, seconded th i nomination or Capt. Dawson. It was almos ! unnecessary to second his nomination, f<> ; the audience by their applause had alread; ; seconded it. There was not a home or fire I side in South Carolina who would not seconi I that nomination. Already a member of th : National Democratic Committee, noted fo his diligent work and ceaseless vigilance, h deserved the further houor this nomlnatioi I would confer. Col. Bali, of Laurens, rose to perform n perfunctory office when he seconded the norr ' ination of the Hon. J. S. Richardson. H would not tax the patience of the Conver jtlon by recounting the services of Mr. Rlcl ; ardson to the State. He would only relterat | what had been so well said by the gentlema ; who nominated him. Col. T. G. White, of Beaufort, seconded th ! nomination of Capt. Dawson. He was a f I representative of the lower part of the Stat It wus needless to dwell on his history.- H wrote his own history every day. The Chair announced the nominations, an asked the pleasure of the Convention as I ' the taking of the vote. Gen.

It it was the sentiment of the National Convention to nominate Grover Cleveland all the delegation would %ote for litni j without any unit rulci Col. John C. Haskell favored the resolution.

Mr. Isaac >1. Bryan, ot Greenville, favored the resolution in a strong speech. (.'apt. J. Anerum Simons, of Charleston, opposed It. Capt. George 1). Bryan crentcd a decided sensation by proposing an amendment declaring that the unit rule should prevail and 1 hat the delegation to Chicago should vote as a unit for rover Cleveland. Mr. J. H. Giles, of Aiken, moved that the whole matter be laid 011 the table, which Was I adopted amidst grtat applause fioiu those who were the friends of Cleveland. '1 he committee 011 resolutions in regard to a number of resolutions that had been Introduced at the morning session icported that Ihe resolutions were able and instructive, hut that they had such confidence in the patriotism and good judgment of the delegates elected to represent them in the National Convention that they recommended that the delegates should not be hampered by resolutions of a quasi aullioiitattve nature. They recommended that, the resolutions be tabled, which was accordingly done. Mr. Southall, of Aiken, moved that the Convention go into the nomination tor State olHcers. Mr, Karle,of Sumter, thought that It would {be unwise for tlie Convention to consider | t his suhjoct at this time. A great majority of ! the counties hail either Instructed their delegates not. to go Into nominations or had expressed the belief that It would be unwise to do so. There wns nothing against tlie present oH1c?ts, and lie hoped that they would all be nominated. There was no haste for nominations now. A large majority ol the people for sonic reusou were opposed to such a course. Mr. J. K. Davis strongly urged nominations Without delay, and Mr. O. S. liarbar in a humorous speech declared lor flugli S. Thoinp! son and tlie parly, saj trig that although lie I was instructed lie uld not know but it would I be best to make tlie nominations. The question was then taken by a rising vote for nom? inaiions at once. The motion wasagroed to, l'JO againt W. Tlie lion. 1). S. Henderson,of Aiken, moved that, the present State otliceis, Governor Thompson and all the rest of his r.s>ociatcs, be nominated by acclamation for ren-'liction. Mr. O. JS. IJarbar cordially seconded Hit* nomination, and witiiout a dissenting voice amidst a storin of anp.ause tlie mo: ion i.rel vailed and the old ticki t was renominated. Gen. Kennedy moved that a coniinltue of three be appointed to wait on Governor Thompson aim escort iilin to the hall. Gen Kennedy, Gen. llagood and Mr. Bcnet wrc appointed. Mr. Moody moved that tlie committee also Inform Mr. Sheppard of his renomiiiatioii, and Co!. Haskell moved that the whole tick| et be brought In. iioth motions wereadopti ed. The Convention then went into an election I lor electors at large. Col. J. L. Orr nominated Mr. ls:uic M ISryan, ??f Greenville, as peculiarly titled for tliis high olllce, and Mr. Henderson eloquently I s< conded the choice of one of the favorite sons ollna by lineage, by birth and by every interCht as to do honor to the State in the position of elector. Mr. Mauldin, of Greenville, nominated Col. J. C. Haskell, of Uichland. He characterized Col. llusUell as a gentleman identllied with i the history of the State, whose eieelloii would | ictleel honor on the Convention and be peculiarly gratifying to that large section of the Mate from which the white votes would come whleli were to elcet the nominees of the Dem, oeratie party.

Second. Popular education is the bulwark of free institutions. Liberal appropriations for the public schools for the whole people. Third. Th j systematic eiloris ol the Kepubliean party to obstruct reform and destroy good government in South Carolina by turn^ mg to partisan purposes the appointing pow- T er of the Federal Government is a standing * menace to the people of this Slate, and a growing danger to the good citizens In every purt of the Unlou. The Federal ofUCes In , this Suite are made political inllirinaries and J training schools for tne defeat of honest government in South Carolina. ' Fourth. Honest home rule. The Democracy of South Cuiollna, representing the lax- ^ payers of the State and a majority of the t whole people,Invite ar.d have right to accept j the sympathy and support of their follow- j countrymcn, in their strenuous etlorls to pre- (J serve an Intelligent and equal administration j of the Govci nuicnt. t Fifth. The extentlon of the franchise as a ? po.ltlcjtl result of the war h;u> enlarged enormously liie number of present mnl i>rospect- i ive voters requiring education in the public j schools. The burden was Increrseil while the * ubllily of the State (o bear it was diminished. The Federal Government, by liberal appropi billons from the tieasury, on the basis ot illiteracy, to be dlsbuiscd by tlio Suite officer In charge of the public school system of ihe .Stales, should help the Southern States to 5 1 cure the evil ?if non-lnu-ilcnt suffrage.

Seventh.

Eighth. The present protective tariff taxes > the many lor the benetlt of the tew. The du. ^ ties on Imports should; he be decreased, and an eaily repeal ol the duty 011 cotton ties, on the machinery used In the manufacture ol cotton und wool,and 011 tools and agricultural Implement* will stimulate manufact urers and be a welcome relief to the farmer and laborer. Ninth. It Is most desirable that the Internal r revenue taxation be abolished as soon as this can be accomplished without rendering permanent the existing Protective system. Kig- r id economy In the conduct of lhc Govern- i menl will hasten the day when the tariff shall beas moderate as In the early days of 0 the Republic, and the army of office-holders ,, employed under the internal revenue laws be! ? disbanded.
