The Price of Otffee. The battle for bread in South Caro lina for the last four years has been fierce and terrible, and many have met more than their mnatch and gone down in the conflict. But that war between want and muscle, life and death, is nothing when compared to the battle for office in the coming State election. The political air is now tremulous with the mutterings of the coming storms, and men of stout hearts and strong arms are re connoitering the field and buckling on the heavy harness of war to do or die for soft places and profitable jobs. This is human nature, tempered wit'i a dash of the Adawie fall. We all, have our weaknesses, but office-hun' ing now seems to be the besetting sin, which might tempt an angel from the celestial court to soil his immaculate plumage in the muddy pool of the political arena. There are a few im mortal names that were not born to die-men who unflinchingly faced the battle storm in the hour of danger. and nobly bled for their country; but there are a great many in these piping times of peace for whom the country has bled. They are those that have come through great tribulation and are destined to come through much more before they reach the coveted goal of their selfish ambition. Office is a good thing, and honorable men, patriots and prophets, have sought and obtained it by rendering themselves worthy of it at the hands of their fellow citizens ; but it is the indi criminate epidemic that we are strik ing at, and not the sporadic eases of worthy men here and there. We are not in favor of making the State an eleenosynary institution to pension off her citizens, worthy and unworthy alike, with office and fat salaries, won at the hands of the honest voters, by brainless impudence and unblushing cheek. When men. become so re formed and purified as to seek ofice for the good of the State, and not with an eye single to their own ease and comfort, then we shall respect them as honorable men and patriots, but not till then. Defeat in this di rection is more than a match for the patriotism and politics of some of our people, and the moment the ballot declares against them their fealty fal ters and their loyalty to Democracy become feeble and unsteady. These are not the mea for a crisis, and can Dot be relied upon when their country or their party calls for sacrifice and heavy work.-Daily Phcenix.

It is also recommended that the County Conventions elect delegates in the same ratio as above designated to hold Congressional Conventions at the same time and place, for the nomination of Congressional Districts.

What the State Wants. Fewer men who seek office and more men whom the office seeks. Fewer dogs and more sheep. . Fewer truckling demagogues who are anything or nothing, as interest dictates, and more brave men who dare to do their own thinking, and say what they think. Fewer great men made to order and of small material, and thrust in front of men who have a capacity for great ness. Fewer juvenile statesmen who are eager to rush into the places their seniors and betters ought to occupy Fewer impetuous young men, eager to rush into print and raise the devil generally. Fewer men to advocate the election of favorites on personal grounds, and mo(re for the public good. Fewer wire-pullers ia popular con ventions, and more people. Fewer "leaders" to knuckle to pop ular prejudice, and miorc real leaders to combat such prejudices when wrong. Fewer bar rooms and more schools. Fewer fences and more pastures. Fewer scrub cattle and more good - ?iT(JT,flfl Star. Why is It. The truths of science and pro gressive thought have always been compelled to batter down the bul. warks of prejudice and disbelief, or remain forever unknown. Why is it th.at people are so reluctant to receive facts that relate directly to the phe nomena of their own existence ? As tronomers, upon discovering a star, assign it a place at once, and it is for ever fixed. The rule by which a mathematical problem is once solved becomes forever an axiom; but no matter how clearly the principles which govern health and sickness be demonstrated, sone refuse to believe. Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, which are now so generally used, and de servedly popular, were, in their early days, very reluctantly received by the people. To-day, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has outrivaled the old time sarsaparillas, his Pellets are in general use in place of the coarse, huge, drastic pills formerly so much employed, while the sales of his Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and his Fav orite Prescription are enormous. Where the skin is sallow and covered with blotches and pimples, or where there are scrofulous swellings arid affections, a few bottles of his Golden .Medical Discovery will effect an en tire cure. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish-brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills alternated with hot flushes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings, irreg ular appetite, and tongue coated, you are sufering from Torpid Liver, or "Biliousness." In many cases of "Liver Complaint" only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a rem edy for all such cases, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has no equal, as it effects perfect cures, leav ing the-liver strengthened and healthy. Pebilitated females who have under gone all the tortures of caustic and the knife, and yet suffer witli those peculiar dragging-down sen.ations apd weaknesses, can have guaranteed to them pr omapf And positive relief by using Dr. Pierce's Ifayorite frescrip tion; while constipation and torpid liver, or "biliousness," are promptly relieved by the Pleasant Purgative Pellets.

The County Convention Satur day, 25th, which met to adopt regn lations for conducting primary elec tions, reconsidered the vote by which the primary election plan was adopted at their previous session, and rescinded their former resolu tion adopting that plan. So the system of nominating conventions will be still the rule in this Ccunty. This action was taken by the Con vention Saturday under the im pression that the majority of the t Democratic -oters in the County . preferred the por4inating conven tions. As the delegates came from every section of the County, and I had had full opportunity to consult the views of their constituency, and 3 no doubt had done so, they were in a position to know. what step to take. We were in favor of the pri- f mary plan, but we are not among 1 those who quarrel because our views are not adopted. Thinking for our selves, ye yiel, tq.every other man the same privileg. N.w that tbe Conv.ention systerp is adopted we propose to give it our hearty sup E port, and hope that all Democrats e in the County will do the same, ~ realizing that unity and harmony ( are necessary to the success of the party. As to the plans, either is good enough if properly managed; ; there is about as much room for chicanery and wire pulling under one as under the other. :I Some explanation is needed in re- . gard to certain resolutions offered in a the Convention Saturday. Among a those resolutions was one endorsing I Hamnptop, and another instructing i the delegates from Newberry to i vote for him in the State Conven- ( tion. The resolutions were offered < together. There was not a dele gate in the Convention, we are sure, I who was not ready to endorse a Hampton. The objection to the x resolutions (as a whole) was that that Convention had no. right to in struct delegates who are not yet chosen and who are to be chosen by a different Convention. The ob jection was well founded. When the resolutions endorsing IEmpton were afterwards offered, t stripped of gli oLtsPo pr they passed unanimously. National Democrac.y. Col. J. H.

The General Assembly of the resbyterian Church, lately in ses. on at Knoxville, Tenn., passed a .solution expressing their disap roval of what is known as "Lay vangelism." That is they disap rove of laymen usurping the func ons of ministers of the gospel. It well known to all that for the st few years, especially since loodey and Sankey created such a iror and sensation in the world, iis form of religious work has been irried on extensively throughout l portions of the country. The ,ork differs in no wise from regu 6r ministerial work, except that the 6y evangelists do not go so far as > admit candidates into Church iembership. They preach, urge inners to repentance and faith, nd expound the scriptures, just as reachers do. We don't think any ranch of the Church has ever given inch encouragement to this sort f work. Now, the General Coun il of one of the most important and ifluential denominations, a denom 2ation noted throughout the world :r its clear-headedness and intelli ence, has spoken out plainly and rotested against "Lay Evangel m." And the General Assembly 3 right. Moodey and Sankey may ave done much good-much that hey did was certainly of a very .eeting character, many of their onverts going back to their old ays in a few weeks, as will always e the case with those c'onverted (?) nder great physical excitement. Vhatever Moodey and Sankey may ave done, they have had would-be miitators who have proved utter 3ilures and worse than failures; aen of no theological training, with , very imperfect acquaintance with he Scriptures, with little education >r intelligence, who have made a travesty pf the Bible And the 3hristian religion, that has had a trong tendency to bring these sa red things into~disrepute. If God ;ppoinits certain men to preach the lospel they alone are authorized to lo it.. Laymen have enough to do r other ways. Public religious in truction is no part of their duty. The Republican newspapers take >articular pains to tell the country ht Grant is longing for the time vebn he has finished his tor and an retire to the enjoyment of pri. ate life. A private letter says: "I eek no new responsibilities of pub. ic service, and will decline them >ersistently, but will be ready al. a,as a privqte citigen, to do my uty to the extent of my power. and ~pportunities."

Democratic County Convention. In accordance with a resolution passed by the last Convention, this body convened in the Court House Saturday, the 25th day of May, inst. Roll called by the Secretary, and such changes recorded as had been made in the delegation from any Club. Minutes of the last session of the Convention read and approved. Hon. Y. J. Pope offered the follow ing resolutions which were, by a rising vote, unanimously adopted: Resolved, 1. That this Convention endorses nost heartily the administra tion of His Excellency Gov. Hampton, and recognizes in him an officer who has kept every pledge made upon go ing into office. 2. That by his wise, conservative and statesmanlike course he has re stored quiet and happiness- to this State, and has, more than any public man, contributed towards allaying un healthy irritation throughout the coun try, and that the sentiments that have inspired his administration are those that should actuate us in the future ; and that we will hail his renomination as to the highest interest of the State. Col. E. S. Keitt offered the follow ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That rigid economy should be the rule practiced i-n every department of the State Government, and the members of the General As sembly should set the example by re ducing their own pay to three dollars per day; and we invite the attention -of the Democratic party throughout the State to its importance. Mr. Mangum presented the creden tials of a colored club, known as the "Hampton Conservative Club of Floyd Township, No. 6." Upon motion it was resolved that the credentials be referred to a conwittee of one from each Township, to examine into the matter and make their report at once. The business of the Convention was suspended to await the report of that committee. After consultation with the delega tion the committee reported that ae cording to the showing and admissions of the delegates themselves, their club had not been regularly organized as a Democratic Club, and they had come to this Convention rather in the char acter of ambassadors than as delegates and therefore were not entitled to seats as regular delegates, but the committee suggested that the President request them to take complimentary seats. Mr. Hair moved that the Conven tion reconsider the resoljgtion of the last Convention adopting the Primary Election System. Vote by Townships -Yeas, 82; Nays, 22. Hon. Y. J. Pope offered the follow ing resolution which, after being de bated upona at length, was finally', upon motion,~tabled by a vote of 86' to 15: Resolved, 1. That the further con sideration of the Primary Election System be deferred, and that the County Executive Committee be di rected to call meetiPgs of the Clubs in the several Townships one month from to-day, gan pha then gh~e gunestion of the adoption of the Primary Election or Convention System be submitted to the said Clubs for decision, and that the said Clubs shall at that meet ing instruct delegates to represent them in a County Convention to pass upon the two. 2.

Upon motion it was carried that he bge allowed to gith.4raw, and that the delegates from that Township elect another in his stead. Accord ingly the delegates from his Township suggested again the name of Col. D. A. Dickert as a member of the Exec utive Committee--who was then con frmed as such by the Convention. Hon. Geo.

Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22, 1878. Speaker Randall, after appointing members of the Special Committee created by Potter's resolution, has gone to Pennsylvania o attend the Democratic State Convention. By the exertion of half the skill be has exhibited in dealing with matters here, the Speaker might make tho party in Pennsylvania invincible and add great ly to his dwo reputation throughout the countq. There have been stories afloat that his object in this visit was to do his part towards uniting all the Democrats of the State. He could have no more honorable mission. The Potter Committee, by the way, is an excellent one, Mr. Potter, of course, is Chairman. The other Dem ocrats are Morrison, Hunton, Stenger, McMahon, Cobb and Blackburn. The Republicans are Cox, of Ohio, Butler, Reed and Hiscock. It was understood that Frye, instead of Reed, of Maioe, would be appointed, but he is said not to have desired the appointment. Five members. of the - Committee will sit here, and three be sent to each of the States of Florida and Louisiana. They hope to close their labors by the 1st of July. Mr. Hayes says he shall give lib erally to the Reputblican campaign fund, and hopes other office.holders will. A year or more a "machine" Congress passed a law, one section of which is as follows ; "That all execqtive officers or em. ployees of the United States not ap pointed by the President with the ad. vice and consent of the Senate, are prohibited from requesting, giving to or receiving from any other officer or em ployee of the Government ary money or property or anything of value for political purposes ; and any such offi cer or- employee who shall offend against the provisions of this section shall be at once discharged from thei service of the United States, and he shall also be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum not exceeding $500. The assessments this Fall upon Re publican offce-holders will be nearly as heavy- and fully as general as they were in that robber campaign of 1876. Mr. Hayes is the most insincere of men, or the weakest. He has appoint ed more unworthy men to office, and more men for unworthy purposes, than any of his predege3sors. This while he' talks beautifully and earnestl~y of reforming the 'civi[ service. The regular report of Senate pro ceedings yesterday does not give a fair idea of the debate on the bill to place Gen. Shields on the retired list of the Army. It has all along been the wish of the Republicans tq ]ill this biW. Sargen) g mong ego of'ered a substi tute putting twenty or thirty persons on the list. Yesterday, when the bill came up, this substitute was abandon ed and an amendment adding,.the sin gle name of Grant was insisted upon by Sargent, Edmunds, Blaine ap ot.hers. This was done with a pyr pose of killing the bill, without forcing Republicans to go on the record as directly voting against Shields. If the old veteran is beaten it will be through this trick, Tb eg gesgeriday refused for the second time to legislate on the subject of allowing women to practice before the Supreme Cog '.pe Co4rt sap, when appication is made by women, that they must secure legis lation. The Senate says legislation is not necessary. The Senate will have another vote on the question during the session. Senator Christigogy intr'oduced a bill extending the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims over all claims now pending before the Departments and Congress. It must not be forgotten a that Christiancy is a Repulican, and' of late a very Radioal one; but he is also a.,lawyer, and he sees the absolute dishonor of leaving honest claimants without some authoritative bod~y 9 which they can appeal - SOLON.
