At a Meeting of the Exe/ mitteeof the Countv T?afa?0? tirtld Cojintr^i^^- . , 0 . f^^*v^^^undersigned- were ap l^jjy?g^w?*i Committee to prepare a short Addi ess to the voters of Edgefield Coun ty, staber some of the considerations that move the Conservative party of j Edgefield County to vote for the Nomi nees of the Independent wing of the Re publican Party, for Governor and Lieu tenant Governor, at the ensuing election, in preference to the Nominees of the Regular Republican party ; and they set forth the following addrlSSs : FELLOW CITIZENS: The Republican Party of South Carolina having nomina ted two tickets for Governor and Lieu tenant Governor, and tho Conservative Party in Convention assembled having j deemed it best to make no nominations for these offices; and having by Resolu tion, recommended tho unanimous sup port by the Conservative party of the State, of the nominees of the Indepen dent Republican party, and it being deemed necessary that the people make j a choice between the candidates, we do earnestly aud respectfully recommend to all good mon and true in the County of Edgefield to turn out to the election in November next, and cast their votes for John T. Greou for Governor ;rvl frr MarfcbxL- re tained a good character for honesty and conservatism. 2ndly. Because John T. Groen has aorw?d-xtie~St?to both as Legislator and Judgo with honesty, fidelity aud impar tiality, and M. L. Delauy has at no time been in anywise connected with tho out rageous frauds that have bcou practiced upon the State. 3rdly. Because the Independent Re publicans have solicited the support of the Conservatives, and have expressed a willingness that tho Conservatives shall bave a voice in the administration of the affairs of the Government of the State. 4thlv. Because D. H. Chamberlain and R. H.'Gleaves, are the nominees of that wing of the Republican party identified with and responsible for aU tho frauds, corruption and nial-administration of the State Government, which have brought the State to ruin aud insolvency, and caused the Republican party in the State to stink in the nostrils of all good men at the North and elsewhere, and im posed upon the people of the State exor bitant and unnecessary taxation to the destruction of their material interests. 5thly. Because D. H. Chamberlain has, by virtue of office, boon identified with nearly all the heavy and outrageous frauds that have boen perpetrated against the State since reconstruction, and judg ing of him by his course in the past, we can havo no hope of amendment in tho futujfo, with him as Governor. tfthly. Because while the Independent Republicans solicit our support, and manifest a disposition to co-operate with the ConservativcV to remedy existing evilain the State'G?verhment, the Regu lar Republican parry through their re cognized organ, the Union-Herald, aud their publiospeakers, denounce and villi ry the Conservatives of the. State, and especially Rifle Clnbs and Tax Unions. For the reasons above stated and many others not enumerated, we earnestly ap peal to all good citizens of the County of Edgefield to turn out io the election on the third day of November next, as one man, and cast thein votes for Hon. John T. Green for Governor, and,for M. L. De lany for Lieut. Governor. In making this recommendation, as in our opinion the best that can be done, wodistinctlyannonnco that we make no sacrifico or compromise of auy cherished political principle. L. CHARLTON, * ) W. W.

Judge Bryan has issued the following: United States of America, Pi'trict of South Carolina, in the Cireur Court. In the matter ol* li. DeTreville-a pe tition to appoint supervisors of elec tion : lt is ordered that, the commissioners of election for the various Counties in the State be required to furnish to this court the complete list, of all the voting precinls i.i their respective Counties, on or before the 22d day of this month ; and, further, that the clerk ol' this court serve by mail a copy of this order on the Board of Com missioners of EU edon for each County. GEORGE S. BRYAN, United States Judge. The Republican Convention ?ti Chatta nooga. On Tuesday of last week, many leading Radical politicians of the South-office holders and office-seekers-met in Con vention in Chattanooga. They spoke much, lied more, and adjourned on Wed nesday. Of this Convention the N. Y. Herald writes as follows : "The fact that the republican politi cians of the Sooth liavo come together in a convention shows that they are becom ing amenable to public opinion. When people assemble in a convention they in vite criticism and observation, am! ouly by criticism and observation can we bobe to influence the new rulera of tho South. The Warmoths, the Pinchuacks, and the new crop of statesmen which has sprung up out of tho ruins of the Hamptons and the Breckiuridges, must learn that they represent nothing, not even the cupidity of their party. Barty cupidity goos far iwith the Southern carpet Laggers, and in (the presence of the revoit of the colored men in Louisiana, of the revolt, flight and I resignation of Busteed in Alabama, we Ipan understand why there would be a con tention. This body adjourned yesterday, but with no wholesome result. Resolu tions and an address were adopted charg ing all the misfortunes of the South upun fl the democrats. But we do not see that Jany opinion was expressed as to Mosesism "in * arolina, Kelloggism in Louisiana and ?Brooksism iu Arkansas-subjects upen I which any statement from the ConventiW ???fuld have unusual in t?rest." . I * " Souther^. ja'L..have failed b> serve tho rmtlv>-iDs thia lime in Obi: I t^^jxy-o^'-'i-'oliT" which has sooltt^ oeen repeated'tTOl' even the old womeja j$? . ihe Western Reserve are no longer frighv ?p?-ed by it. The Chattanooga Southern ivepubhean Convention on Ku Klux aud White Leag^n atrocities comes too late ,rorthe Northern market. No EXCUSE FOR INACTION.-We hearti ly agree with one of our contemporaries n the upper part of the Slate, which has ointedly said to the Constrvatives : "If ou fail to give Greene and Kershaw a learingr, and don't, go to the polls, then top talking about reform and tiad repre sentatives." We think that a man who does not do his best now, should forever, hereafter hold his peace, and will be for ever hereafter ' tly held to blame if he neglects the opportunities which tho pres ent canvass offers. It is but a poorcon solation to whine abou^UBtrf'9B^'>ai^rtB l^^^^i^-i^jfl^!,!i!}Ji.iLiinuies when rae^tr^TS^ndgone. Improve them, make the most of them while they are present. Even a Radical who, for per sonal reasons, supports Mr. Chamberlain, told us that he had never seen, in the course of several years' observation of things here, such a glorious opening for tho honest and substantial people of the State to improve its condition, credit and good name.- -JPhamix. HONEST GOVERNMENT.-What the peo ple of South Carolina now need is honest government'. Whatever may be said of j him as the candidate of the honest gov ernment party, on the score of objectiona ble views in regard to the congressional civil rights bill, it is admitted on all sides that Judge Green is an honest man, and will honestly and faithfully administer the government of the State. "What South Carolina wants is a cessation of stealing by public offioials. Robbery of the public treasury once arrested, moderate and tol erable taxation follows as a matter of | course. High taxes encourage peculations and malfeasances in office. Corruption in office encourages corrupt practices at elections. In short, public corruption is inconsistent with, and destructive of free dom. The only way to secure an honest government and to perpetuate freedom, is to elect honest men to office.-Greenville Daily New*-^ 'e. as r> -nKTWatures' whidh have elected or will ?Jfeet a Democratic or Liberal Senator from connecticut, Indama, Tennessee, ""Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, in all six, to take the place of Administration Radicals ' This will make the next Senate'stand 30 Democrats and Liberals to 43 Radicals. Besides the six States mentioned which will subtract from the Administration stiength and add to the opposition forces, there are others which give Senators to the next Congress to fill the seats nov/ occupied by Democrats or Liberals. "Mis souri will send a Democrat to succeed Mr. Schurz. Delaware, Maryland, tind New Jersey, will re-elect Democrats. Ohio has already re-elected Mr. Thurman ; and there is a fair prospect of New York elect ing a Democrat to succeed Fenton. Not withstanding the tricks by which the Re publican party packed the Senato with rottenborough Senators, the Democrats make gains even' two years, and will eventually win the Senate. The indica tions now point to a Democratic House also in the next Congress.-M.o:>'de Reg ister. Georgia goes almost unanimously Dem ocratic. It is a well managt State.

Itens of the Canvass. Honjw-P. Reed, of Andorson, has de clared openly for Chamberlain and Gloaves. In other words, he has un worthily seized tho opportunity to join tho Radical party. It is said his hope is to get tho Solicitorship in his Circuit. ter of acceptance of the nomination to Congress by thc democrats of the Third Congressional District. In consequence of this, the Hon. Wm. Henry Treseott, of Fendloton, who some months back announced himself as an independent candidate, withdraws from the race. H?ge is the Radical candidate. Gen. Kershaw is the Conservative can didate for Congress in the -1th District, embracing the North-West Counties, and is busy stumping the field. His oppo nent is the notorious A. S. Wallace. Dr. Latimor, of Greenville, a well known and very respectable Republican, has come out in favor of Green and Delaney. ' Gov.

It is now in favor of Creon and Dulaney. Blessed is tho man that maketh a short political speech-for ho shall obtain hearers as a roward. Gen.
