Aa Address to tac Democrats of Eds?. field On Monday last, the Democratic Executive Committee of Edge?eld seid its first meeting with reference te tho coming campaign. Oat of oar thirty-one dabs, some twenty odd were represented. Chairman Dori soe occupied the Chair. Upon mo tion of Dr. W. H. Timmerioan, who at the same time suggested and ad vocated an address to tbs people, a committee of ?ve was appointed by tba Chair to pispare business for the meeting. Thia committee consisted of W. H. Tuniaeraian, W. S.Allen, Geo. Wise, J. 0. Denny and William Haltiwanger. Their report, which was unanimously adopted, advised the calling of a County Convention on the 16th of May; and the prepa ration of an address to the people. The following citizens were appointed as a eommittee to pr epa. e" the ad dress: W. H. Timmerman, J. F. Blackwell and W. S. Allen. Upon motion of Dr. Timmerman, the Chair man of the Committee waa added to these three. The iollowing is the address: FELLOW CITIZENS: The official term of office of the Executive Com mittee of the Democratic Party ol Edge?eld County will soon terminate. By a wise provision of our Constitu lion, which is the organic law, SOT* ereignty full and complete reverts to the freemen of the party every two years. The high trust conferred opon us two years since by your par tiality and confidence, we haye en deavored to discharge faithfully, con? ecientiously, and to the bist of our ability, keeping at all times as oui chart the fundamental principles oi the Democratic party, viz: Home Rule by the people, for the good ol tho people, and the supremacy of thc Anglo-Saxon race. The grand results of the successful campaign in 1876, which redeemed the State from Hadical Republicen misrule and oppression can not hen be recapitulated. Suffice it to say, the robbery of the people by official ceased, a just administration of th< law was established, State and conn ty credit were restored, upon a josi and equitable administration, econ omy being the basis.

This iw wat pending for six years, but tb Execu tive Committee invariably' (.vised against making of a purely dcaestic question au issue in our politic. Thc friands of stock law then reseted tc the time honored right of ptition, and near 2,000 of good citizen asked for the enactment of the law; nd thc Legislature enacted it for thc State, If the Edge?eld delegation hd voted against the law, the act estolishing it for the State would na e beet paned nevertheless. And tua view of the matter should, in the opinion of the Executive Committee, end thc question. The Executive Committee was divided on this measure, but faith ful to the organic principles of party sustained the action of the Legislature in the premises, and the vote aof our Representatives thereon. And whilst we sympathize with those who feel aggrieved thereby, we cannot believe that any portion of our Democratic fellow-citizens will be so blinded by prejudice or so ex cited by passion as to allow them selves for a moment, te become alien ated from the great historie party, not only of our County and State, but of the whole South. Ii you have suffered grievances, we call upon you as patriots of a common country, and with a common destiny, to red: ess those grievances within the present party organization. There is time and opportunity afforded for it. No man is infallible, neither are parties or the masses free from imperfection. Mutual forbearance and good will should pervade every bosom. And we here earnestly appeal to the people, to whom all sovereignty under our Democratic organization now reverts, to be careful to select their ablest and most patriotic citizens as dele gates to a County Convention soon to be called by the Chairman, to con aider the important questions then to be acted upon. We appeal in the name of tho past and hopes of the future, that all differences be settled in the asid Convention, and that the old Democratic party will move on in unity and harmony, to victory in the future as in the past, for the preser ition-of the grand old principles of lacy and Home Role by SOE, on Address. |7esolution was also adopted by the meet* j the President of j each CenM>e requested to appoint 8 comB?Ataw of three" on Registration whose duty it shall be to see that al) Democrats register.

We publish this address in our present issue. WRITE MEN OF EDGEFIELD, BEAD BREWSTER'S LETTER. White men of ?dgefieid, read the letter of U. S. Attorney General Brewster' which we publish this week, and remember that while political persecution^ the policy of the Stal wart National Administration, the demand from Democracy ia strong and striking. The demand for zeal, for unity, for patriotic unselfishness On Monday last, the Sd, many of oui fellow citizens, from different coun ties, were put upon their trial before the Unitedj3tates Court in Charles ton. And this letter of Attorney General Brewster shows the deliber ate and determined purpose of the Administration to convict them it possible, and send them to the Alba ny Penitentiary. The object, to be gained is not the freedom and purity of elections but the return of Radical rule. During the carnival of plun der presided over by Scott, Moses and Chamberlain, the General Gov ernment uttered not a single word ot remonstrance, and ignored even protest and appeal of an outraged people. The mere fact of beiDg a Republican gave then, and gives now, a man the right to sin with im punity, while the Democrat has no rights that the Government respects. In the campaign and at the election of 1880 Republicans violated the laws far more frequently and fla grantly than Democrats, yet, pro tected by the friendship of the Ad ministration, they go "unwhipt ot justice." The leeson we should all learn fi om thia is, that the only safety of the Democratic party lies in the perfect preservation of ita unity. Senator Butler Overhauling Brewster. In the U. S. Senate, on Tuesday the 28th March, Senator Butler said : I submit the following resolution, and ask for its present consideration : Hesolved, That the Attorney-gen eral of the United States be, and he ie hereby, directed to forward to the Senate a copy of his letter of in structions to Dallas Saunders, Esq., of Pennsylvania, assistant counsel to the district attorney of South Caro lina, under date March 16, 1882, and the reply of Mr. Saunders thereto. Mr. President, my purpose in intro ducing the resolution is that I h;.ve seen in the public printe f'.rtt. pur porte to be a ?OPV O' . letter fi om 'MrT Saunders,*^ Je!? i Ta^ and so unusual for an om of such high position in the Gov ernment of the United 3tates that I can scarcely credit it, and I desire to have from him, over his own sig nature, an exact copy of the instruc tions which he is said to have sent to this gentleman employed as assis tant counsel to the United States dis trict attorney in South Carolina. That is my object in asking for the pas sage of the resolution now. The resolution was considered hy unanimous consent, and agreed to. In accordance with this resolution. Brewster's correspondence was sent to the Senate on the Slit. Senator Butler could not then get time to speak on it, and will have to wait nu til he returns from Charleston to do so. He is now ia Charlestou for the purpose of taking part In the de fence of our political prisoners. For the Advertiser. Rinehart Club No. 1 Leads Off iu the Reorganization and Maui, fests the True Spirit. MESSRS. EDITORS.--On the night of April 1st, at Bartley's Spring Academy, the club known as Rine hart No. 1, was called together for reorganization. Mr. T. E. Harlin, who has discharged the duties ol President of the club for two years, to the satisfaction of all, having begged to be excused from serving longer, Col. Goggans was elected President; L. M. Werts, Vice-Pr?si dent; Baz. Peterson, Secretary; Da vid Geiger, Ben. P. Whittle, Pope Biack, N. Britt and Spann Lake, Ex ecutive Committee. This reorganisation was effected without reference to local issues, without reference to stock law or anti-stock law. We can afford tc differ on local questions, but we can not allow these differences to influ ence oar action when oar enemies the enemies of all that freemen hold dear-are banding together to rob n? of oar God-given rights. Rinehart No. 1 has been, and is, as a majority, anti-stock law, but still they are Democratic, and no paltry diaaffectiona will be allowed io influ ence the actions of a siugli mau. They are stilKtrne to principle, and when the campaign of "82 ope ns, and the day of election comes, Rinehart No. 1 will make up a record thai will be in keeping with the splendid rec ords of '7t), 78 and '80, thereby giv ing the emphatic lie to any insinua tions that may have been thrown out by unprincipled, sore-headed, aspir ing demagogues. There is no room lor bolters, Independents, Radicals and other cattle of their ilk, in thia club. Our motto ie: Straight-out Democracy and White Supremacy now and forever. RINEHART NO. 1. OUR POLITIC IL PRISONERS W?ST BE DEFENDED. The Address of the State Executive Committee? Special Dispatch to the News & Courier. COLUMBIA, March 30.-The Dem ocratic State Executive Committee issued the following address this morning : To the Democratic Party af South C?roliwu Mter two- years of pro? found pe^iSt our people are again called upon to undergo the excitement of political trials, instigated by Fed eral office-holders, who seek the re storation to power of the corrupt men who brought disgrace and well nigh brought ruin upon this State. At no time in the history of South Carolina have there been greater quiet and good order in all ranks of socie ty. All classes of our people are devoting themselves to the task of repa^?^j^their lost fortunes and of building up the waste places which were devastated through years o? tyranny, oppression and misrule. The harmony and good feeling which e^&uld exist between the two races which inhabit the State have increased, and we are beginning with good reason to look forward to a pe riod ol prosperity and happinesa hith erto unknown in our annale. Du ring this time the courts of the State have been open and all the machine ry of government in ful i operation. The laws have been administered with justice and moderation. No complaint has been heard that the humblest citizen has not received the fliles*- protection which everywhere iu this couutry is the perogative cf an American. lu all the essentials which consti tute good government South Carolina can to-day safely challenge comp iri sen with any other State in the Un ion. But despite the peace and qurot which have prevailed, despite the ex istence of a State government ready to punish disorder, repress crime and protect its citizens, Federa' officials have seen fit to drag our people from their homes and arraign them not on ly before Federal Courts, but before the bar of public opinion. Not con tent with the services of skilled and parned counsel appointed to execute Federal laws within this State, the attorney-general of the United States has seen fit to employ counsel from another State. The recent letter of Attorney-General Brewster tj Mr. Sanders is an indictmeut of the Dem ocratic party of South Carolina. To this indictment the Democratic party must answer. ' Its chosen representa tives, through whoBe persons it is sought to perpetrate this outrage, must be defended with all of the fjree and all of the energy of the Democratic party. The purpose in view is too plain to be misunderstood. He who runs may read. When the hand of the assas sin struck down the Pjeaidi.nt of the j4m?k. the people of the South are yet staggering. The change of poli cy towards the South, a8 unmistaka bly indicated within the last few weeke, should warn all lover? of good government to be vigilant and ac tive. The decree has gone forth. The whitepeople of South Carolina must avow the principles of the Republican party or be declared criminals. The object of those in authortty is not to punish for alleged crimes in the past, but to make adherence to j the principles ol the Democratic par ty impossible in the future. The time for thia action has been fitly chosen. On the eve of a S:ate election our people are told that they must Kubmit to a return to Radical rule or brave the persecution of offi ciais who are aided by all of the pow er of the General Government. The time has come for an indignant peo ple to rise in their might and protest against this unwarrantable invasion ol their rights. If we fail in oar duty our civilization will be lo t. The foe and the stranger will again rule South Carolina. The oppression and the tyranny which marked the histo ry of Republican rule in this State will ag:iin disgrace our civilization and bring disaster upon our people. In this situation of affairs no true son of the Slate can doubt as to his duty. Let us stand together as one man, and while confronting the com mon enemy preserve for ourselves and our posterity the peace, the jus tice and tha security which under Democratic rule all classes of our citizens have enjoyed since the great revolution of 137?. They whose on ly otTence ia fidelity to the welfare of the State must not be permitted to sn Uer ss crim?nala. James F. Izlar, Chairman.

Howell. The death of two distinguished Americans in the world of letters, on Friday, the 24th March, will throw a pall of sadness over the entire coun try. Wc refer to that of the great American poet, Henry W. Longfel low, which occurred in Boston, and of Col. W. T. Thompson, the author of "Major Jonee's Courtship,'7 so long the editor of the Savannah Morning News. Both were distinguished gen tlemen, had reached a green old age, and their memories will long be cherished by their fellow men in America. No patent required t? catch the rheumatism.

AD Old "Confed" Mafces Some Trotttfal and Timely statements. EDOEEIFJ.D, Marchi ?0,1882. EDITORS ADVERTISER -fr1 your issue of this date I see two local itemaofso much importa ?ope to an old Confed, that I ask of j ou a little space in which to pay a sl??ll trib ute. The first is a notice <1F the re turn to Edgefield of the 'younger daughter of the-late Col. rj^seph Ab ney. It happened to fall ip"?be* lot of the writer to be in the same com mand and intimately associated with Col. Abney in the lafe-w??i Indeed at one time your correspondent ' was a member of his staff. Ami it can be truthfully said that in -the Con federate arra? there waB not a purer, braver or more consistent patriot. Col. Abney had already w$n his lau rels in the war with the ^Mexicans, and by virtue of his ag', wis exempt from the Conscription Actj but, one cf God's noblemen as he wt?, he pre ferred to offer his sword to his coun try at the first call to^ms. Col. Abney served his country ,^ts only a patriot could, to the end ofithe war; and when Gen. Lee saw tjiat there was no longer hope, sheathed his sword and returned to his^ome in Edgefield, where, afteT^A-a- few years, and principally from?a broken heart cn account of what-ke conceiv ed to be a hopeless disas'.v, he laid down and died. AndJSdgefield, while the county bears the namf: Bbould in gratitude reverejthe mem ory of Joseph Abney. The next local I wish notice is the opinion of the Winnsloro News and Herald in reference to Senator Butler. I have no means Ti knowing whether Senator Eutler viii or not again be a candidate; butjdo know that Bince the days of Calhoun, South Carolina has had no fT?'fcsfentative in the National Council with more brains, more honesty of purpose, or more determination in h.? efforts to protect the interests of hr constitu ency. Butler has not pewpsui up on every occosion that has 'ffered, sim ply for the purpose of hiring him self speak, but when it wis necessary he has come to the fronted engaged the mightiest of those ^feb" would insult and slander the routh. And on every occasion too BtVer has fal len on top. Some of til smallest States of the Union owe ?Jeir power in the United States Senle to hav ing for a long nlimber ofj^eara the same men to represent, who have remained there! to become familiar with ness of the oldest politic: has by mean^ of his been able to do this di term.

H., on Tuesday, the Kith May next, at ll o'clock, A.'M. The said Convention, in accord ance with Artil le C h of the Consti tution of the Democratic Party ol Edgefield County, adopted in May 18S0, "shall be composed of throe delegates from ea^h Club, besides the chairmen of their respective Ex ecutive Committees. Provided, That the clubs hereafter organized shall be entitled to one delegate for every twenty-five members, said Clubd to be composed of not less than seventy five members. And Provided, That in the formation of any new club, no old club shall be reduced in its mem bership below the number of seventy five members; but every Township shall be entitled to one Club." The Presidents of the different clubs throughout the County are earnestly requested to proceed with out delay to reorganize their respec tive Clubs, elect officers for the next two years, appoint delegates to the County Conventier, and see that their Clubs are in regular working condition lor the next campaign. Before closing this call for the meeting of the next County Conven tion, and in behalf of our noble old party, and of our best and dearest rights, your County Chairman would most respectfully and yet most ur gently appeal to Dem ocrats of Edge field County, ever trne when and wherever tried, to reconcile and cast aside all differences of opinion on local issues, and continue steadfast in their adherence to and faith in Edgefield Democracy-Home Rule and a Whj?e Man's Government everbearing in mind that, the slight est division or disintegration of the Democratic party in South Carolina means nothing more nor less than the Africanization of our beloved old State, abd the restoration of Carpet bag and Negro Rule.

The Senate, two WPP1;S back, passed the resolution to pay Senator Entier, of South Carolina, $3,500, for expenses incurred by him in vindicating his right to his seat. In regard to this matter, Senator Hoar, of the Committee, on Privileges and Elections said : , As to Mr. Butler, the Committee J Elections took j el and expensive controversy which ?rose in regard to his seat. The Senate allowed 5Tr.torbhn-rrtrr unsuccessful competitor of Mr. But ler the sum of ?10,000 for conduct ing tge other side of the same con troversy on an itemi/.sd account, I think, furnished by him. Mr. But ler certifies that this is only a por tion of his expenditures for counsel fees, printing, stenographer anti tak ing testimony. In answer to the special question of the Senator from Delaware, 1 de sire to sey that the House of Repre sentatives has, in numerous instances, made such allowances, under peculiar circumstances, to persons whose title to their seats was vindicated; and in two recent, instances thc Senate bas united with the House in passin? Acte of Congress, in one of which there were some eight or ten old cases which had occurred several years be fore in former Congresses, where the Senate passed an Act allowing to the persons to whom the seats were awarded, under these special circum stances, the expense ol' vindicating their title. It seems to us thal il il. is just to al low to the unsuccessful man, the man who turned out to be in the wrong, his expenses, the Senator who, in ad dition to the ordinary dillies of bis place, i's obliged to conduct this vex atious and hostile controversy and who turns out, to be iu the right, n fortiori ought lo hnve some such al lowance. for the Adverlifer The Ring of the Right Metal. RINEHART TOWNSHIP, April 3, ,82. MFSSP.S.

The reorganisation of Club No. I, Rinehart. Township, has been effected in a manner to me highly satisfacto ry, with Col.
