Two or three weeks back, the Hon . Patrick Walsh, of. Augusta, who is the Georgia member of the National Democratic Executive Committee, and who had been spending a couple of i npnths in New York, wrote to his \ paper, the Chronicle and Constitution alisl, a very sensible, timely lottert deprecating the violent and unrea. . aoning casting off of the great Tam many Organization of New York by the Democracy-the oldest political organization io America-and always Democratic. Many Southern editors assailed Col. Walsh bitterly for say ing-as they erroneously construed him-and persisted io erroneously construing him-that the Democracy could not win io the coming Presiden tial contest without Tammany and Johfl Kelly. Time-and a very short tim? at that-bas fully vindicated the Wisdom and patriotism of Col . Walsh's letter. Aod we are glad to see that oar popular compatriot, Col. John R Abney, now a citizen of New York, warmly espouses Col. Walnh's de fence, and applauds his conrad. These are two level headed men-of purest patriotism and truest democracy. In deed when either the purity or the wisdom of Patrick Walsh's democracy fails, then may the heavens be ex m lil lil or in Te co na in th< tot ele he oui ex| peeled to fall 1 Time has broug! oar honored cotemporary of Augus oat of the extreme large end of ti hors* ana the flings of the haugh' hotspurs have rolled off his respect ble back like raindrops off a cabbaj eaf, leaving no stain behind. t bange the Time* The time for the meeting of tl General Assembly of Sooth Carolir should be changed.

R ral members seem to loee their wi so anxious are they to get home I Christmas. It is at times amusii to hear the reasons urged for an a joumment. The rural members ai the demagogues bank heavily on t expense the State is beiDg put to not adjourning and there are otb? who seem to make a joke of the whe matter, which is conduct, to say t least, very unbecoming in a gr a legislator.

A stop should be put to by changing the time of a?6embling this body to the time mentioned a then the cry by the members t* they must get home by the Christm holidays will cease.

For se1 eral months the local temperam leaders have been doiDg very acth work and a number of lodges hav been formed, while through the prei and on the stage every possible e fort has been made to arouse publi feeling against ?he liquor traffic. The Prohibition question seems t be steadily forcing itself to the fron I In Sooth Carolina the growth of th Temperance sentiment has been grad nally increasing since 1876. Then are nearly a Ecore of towns in th< State to day where the sale of intoxi I eating liquors is prohibited, and by j popular vote no liquor can now be sold in Barnwell County. The sal? of liquor is prohibited in all the country districts, and the present movement in Aiken Coonty is being watched with keen interest by the Temperance leaders throughout the State. If it be successful, there are other counties in the State where the same issi-e will be presented to the people at the ballot box.-News and Courier. There are only three States which will have elections between now and November. Georgia will vote for Governor and members of the Legis lature on Wednesday tb>e let of Octo ber. Ohio will elect minor State offic ers and Congressmen on Tuesday, the 14th of October, and on the same Jay West Virginia will choose her 3tate officers, Legislature and Con pressmen, and will vote on a consti tutional amendment to change her State elections to November.

AUGUSTA. QA., September 12 - William Vales, an old maD, employed aa night watchman in the office of the Augusta and Summerville Railway Company in this city, was found dead in the office this morning. There was a fearfal contusion on the back of his head and his body had been burned to a crisp. Close to the body were found a pickaxe and an oil can, the former having evidently been used to commit the murder and the contenta of the latter to hide evi dence of. the crime. The body had been saturated with oil and then set on fire. The floor had burned in boles beneath the body, but the pools of blood which saturated the space aboul the corpse had prevented the building from catching fire. The desk in the office had been pried open and $38 stolen. Vales had, it is suppos ed, been making a tour of the prem ises and probably waa about to wind the indicator, as the last puncture in the dial had been made at l l 30, when the murder was committed. There is no clue to the murderer, who evidently waa some one acquaint ed with the place. There is much! indignation in the neighborhood. The Coroner will hold an inquest to-mor row. . _ Aiken's New Council. Special Dispatch to the News and Courier. AIKEN, September 8.-Oar aunual town election is just ever, resulting as follows: Intendant, W. Quitman Lbavis; wardens, H. F.Warneke, J. Zed Dunlap, John B. Heriot, Robert A. Chafee, John Phillips and I. A. Givens. The two latter are colored men and the only members of the old council who go into the new, the balance of the ticket being an entire new deal. This ticket was nominated at a citiz n6* meeting held on last Wednesday evening in the Court house. A purely local issue brought out one more candidate frr warden than on the regular ticket, and this waa the only opposition and the qply excitement "of the election. The regu lar ticket elected is a good one. Mr. Davis has been in the intendant's office already aa intendant in 1882 83, and he will serve in that capacity with his usual firmness and ability, The four new wardens are young and progressive men, and will look closely after the material advancement ano improvement of our already thriving county seat.

RIDDLED WITH BUCKSHOT.-The body of a negro named Charles Ward was found cn the Beach Hill road, in Beaufort County, South Carolina, opposite Savannah, on Monday morn ing. The cause of the man's death was very evident. A frightful wound in his right side was filled wi h buck shot, some of which had passed en tirely through his bedy. Trial Jus tice Pelot held an inquest during the day, but it was impossible to discover any evidence relating to the matter, and a verdict of " killed by unknown parties" was rendered. It is aaid that on Saturday several weeke ago Ward and another nego entered a store in the neighborhood and com menced beating the negroes who were in the place tiaiing, and threatened to kill 8omeof thtm. It is supposed that some one whom he maltreated at that time killed him. Ward was from the Combahee River, and waa a worthless negro, who lived upon his more industrious fellows.--Port Poy al Post.
