The Denoeratie National Con- 1 vention. Charleston News and Courier. The Democratic National Execu tive Committee has decided that the National Convention of the party shall be held at Cincinnati on June 22. which is nearly three weeks later than the time appointed for the assembling of the Republican National Conven tion, which will meet in Chicago on June 3. Two views seem to have been press ed upon the committee. One was that delay was dangerous because for sev eral campaigns past the Democrats have, it is alleged, been at a disad vantage in seeming to have no policy of their own and no decided plan of action, but merely to have waited for the Republicans to show their hana and then act accordingly. It was thought by those holding this view that it was best at once to take the bull by the horns, hold an early Con vention, nominate the best man we had, and thus as it were take the wind out of the sails of the other party, and compel them either to nominate a good man or be at great disadvantage. The other view was the situation of both parties is critical, and that the crisis in the country requires the cal mest deliberation and the neglect of no precaution. That present indica tions foreshadow the nomination of Grant by the Republicans as the in evitable result of the skillful use of pairty machinery. That such a nom ination is the best possible thing that can- happen for the -Democratic party. 1 and nothing should be done to i terfere with such a probability. That at any rate our action should be taken with full knowledge of the tactics of our opponments. . The last view has very properly pre vailed,and so far as we can read the signs of the times there seems now little doubt that Grant will be nominated by the Republicans, and the Democrats will have an opportunity of putting up such a candidate that the issue will be clearly presented whether this coun try is hereafter to be governed by the ambition of office-holders and office seskers pn the one' hand, or the in telligent opinion of the great body of the people on the other hand. . To make this issue as against Grant there seem to us to be but two names available for the Democrats-Bayard and Seymour. Age and want of vigor, not lack of devotion either to country or party, appear'to us to remove the latter from the field. With Bayard, as against Grant, we believe that Demn oeratic success would be assured. But independenly of any consideration as to who the possible candidate may be, the wisdom of the Executive Com mittee in fixing a day for holding the Conveution later than' that of the RepubTreen Convention appears un questionable. Caesar covered his bald head and gray hair with a laurel crown. AnR' S ITA TR VIGOR covers gray heads with the still more welcome locks of youth. The Pians et Grant's Friends. ne Geusral to Travel the South and to Re 1 Rsssised Thsrp With XarkedrDenanRsf tios oiRespect By Telegraph to the Tribune. 1 WAsumeToii, February 19.-The promoters of tEe Grant movement in Washington are relying upon the effect of the re-appearance of their candidate in the United States before the meeting of the Chicago Conven-I tion to give their "boom" a final im petua that shall carry the nomination of GrauM through with a hurrah against all ppition. Omthe return of the General from1 Mexico. it is intended that he shall land at New Orleans and make a tri umphant progress through- the South ern States. The white people of that section are expected to treat him with marked consideration and respect. They are being depended upon to give him, in their excitable way, assur- i ance of political support, and thus to revive the Democratic Grant "boom' about which there was some talk a month or two ago. In addition to -J that, it is believed that the colored I men of the South will make an en- - thusiastic demonstration in favor of the General; and that the whole pro ceeding will have such an effect on the canvass for the nomination as to I make the success of any other candi- i date entirely out of the question. The four circumstances upon which the Grant men base their hopes, there-1 fore, are: First, the solid vote of ~ Pennsylvania, which they think Sen- i ator Cameron has already secured z for them ; secondly, the 70 votes of New York State, which they believe . Senator Conkling will be able to give to General Grant ; thirdly, the solid C vote of Illinois, which they do not yetc admit that any other candidate can break;j and lastly, the enthusiasm which General Grant's return is ex pected to inspire. This combination is not one that I is despised by the thoughtful friends e of other candidates. They believe ~ that they can defeat it ; but they well know that they will have no easy task.

The National Democracy. -ie Northern Democratic States we New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware, three very small States. gew York is doubtful, rather in lining to the other side. There ire a few others that are called un ertain, as Pennsylvania and Ohio, ,ut they always go Republican hen a President is to be elected. ew Jersey, Connecticut and Dela ware, according to Col. Aiken's dimile, form the Democratic kite, while the Southern States are the il-as he says, it is a very small ite for such a large tail. It is no onder, then, that Southern states non, proud of their section and ,roud of the illustrious names that aave adorned her history and the istory of the whole country in lays past, should sometimes become impatient and "unruly"; that they should grow tired of dancing at tendance on a few Northern Demo nratic States that have proved by eir actions that they care for the 3outh only for her votes. It is not pleasant nor dignified to play the at to 'the monkey. We did it in L870 and 1874, and again in 1876, md are expected to do it again in L880. The selfishness of the Na ~ional Democracy is proved by the ~act that in 1876 not one dollar was urnished to South Carolina to ena e her to carry on the campaign successfully. She was left to fights er battles alone, while the other ide was supplied with money and with arms without stint. It was ien that we recognized in all its frce "Nature's first law"-self-pre 3ervation-and saved our State. Be muse we put the interest of 'the tate before the interest of the Na bional Democratic Party we were incsed of selling out to Hayes. it was the first time since the war hat South Carolina showed any wisdom and statesmanship. Had ;he made National politics the con brolling feature of the campaign she would to-day have been under the ule of Chamberlain and his crew. She has learned wisdom by experi ee, and she is now reaping the :enefits. in the ppproaching cam sign she should not forget the les ion that she has learned-that her irst duty isto herself: that her in ;erests begin at home. Let her see it that she preserve her own tate Government intact. She is 1t yet free from danger. There ire just about as many Republican roters in the State now as there ere in 1876; and we believe that Gen. Grant be nominated by.-the tepublicans he will bring out the ll strength of that vote. An ef ort will be made to carry not only he electoral vote of the State for he Republican party, but coupled ith thatwill be anattempt to re and the State Government to the iepublican party. It behooves us hen tobe onthe alert ; to watch very movement,and to be prepared, >y unity and harmony in our own ank, to erush every such attempt ni its incipiency. The Grant move ient among some of our own citi-. ens, claiming to be Democrats, is ust the kind of measure to break lown party lines, to blot out the istinction between parties, and to ave the way to dissension, disin egration and defeat. Can a man rho would support a Republican or President be depended on to .upprt a Democratic State ticket ? Ve think not. He who dailies with he Republican party is not to be rusted when it comes to the pinch. The only safe rule is, "touch not, andle not the unclean thing." So hat while we should as South Caro inians look out for home interest irst, we should use every effort con istent with self-interest to aid the ational Democracy. And our self nterest can be just as well pre erved by working with the Nation Democratic party as in any other 'ay, and by so doing we maintain1 sur integrity and self-respect. It a the misfortune of the South, rouht about by the results of the,, help for it. She has nothing to do n naming the candidate for the Presidency-the Northern Democ rcy does that-bnt when the nomi nation is made she will do all she an to elect him. If the National Democracy fails the South loses nothing by the attempt; if it suc :eeds she gains a great deal. But whether it be failure or success the South, by political honesty and in tegrity, can best preserve her party realty and unity and advance her own home interest by such a course. It would be not only base perfidy but a short sighted and unwise pol icy for the South to ignore the Na tional Democracy. Raking Up Old Scores. The opponents of Bayard have unearthed a speech that he made in 1861 in which he opposed a resort to arms to force the seceded States back into the Union. He took the position that a war would be dam aging to the North as well as the South, and that it would be better for the whole country if the South ern States were allowed to establish a government of their own. Every fair-minded man knows and will acknowledge that Bayard was right ; . that, whether "States rights' be a true doctrine or not, the results of the war, even to the North, is no compensation for the loss of blood and treasure it cost ; that both sections of the country would have been in a better condi tion to-day if the Confederacy had been let alonb. Notwithstanding these facts, it cannot be denied that Bayard's speech will very materially injure his prospects as a candidate for the Presidency, and would greatly lessen his chances for elec tion were he nominated. He would be called a "Southern sympathizer," "a friend to.r,bellion," and all that sort of thing ; and no man can suc ceed who has to oppose sectional issues. The New York Sun, Til. den's "organ", has been gloating over the Ba.yard speech, and a few days ago printed what purported to be the speech in full, and declares that no Democrat should be nomi nated for the .Presidency who did not favor the 'use of armed force to suppress the Confederacy. The New York World thereupon pro duces a letter written by Tilden in 1861, in which he said that he felt it to be a sacred duty to refuse his sanction to an appeal to the sword for the solution of the differences between the North and the South. The facts above stated would very seriously impede the running quali ties of either Bayard or Tilden. "WI ho Was the Prominent Mer chant ?" Our neighbor, the Newberry. HERALn, alluding to the "game of tag" recently practiced at this place makes the above pertinent inquiry : "Who was the prominent mer chant ? If it had been a poor white man or a friendless negro stealing a few pounds out of which to make a homespun shirt, or to stuffa pil low with, or to exchange for a peck of meal, his name would have been given, no doubt. Is a rogue's name to be smothered up because he is a prominent merchant of Greenville?i No ; so much the more reason that he should oe publicly exposed." This is all true enough, but diid oi.r esteemed neighbor not know the name of said "prominent mer chant !" If so why did he not give the same to his readers, and thus enforce his precept by his example. That's just what's the matter with one-half the world-they can see the faults or shortcomings of others, but not their own. [Laurensville Herald. We did not learn the name of the "prominent merchant" till too late for the:last issue. Our neighbor acted rightly in rot publishing the affair upon vague rmors. In its last issue is given the name of the accus'ed party-E B. Dickson-and also the facts of the case so far as they could be ascertained. Wasted Sympathy. A great deal of sympathy has een expressed for the Emperor of Russia in his constant danger from assassination; but lie doesn't de serve it. He rules, like a dictator, with a rod of iron ; he suppresses Freedom of speech and opinion ; for mny criticism upon his government i subject incurs the risk of exile to Siberia, imprisonment or death. Ie is a heartless t.yrant. His sub ects live in constant terror. As r illustration of his despotism, The Countess Hendrikof was ban shed from the Empire a few days ago for saying that if the Empress who is in feeble health) should die, he Emperor would probably marry be Princess Delgoruki." If women ~re banished for a little innocent mosiing what must be the Rus State Printing. Considerable fuss has been made because R. W. Shand, Esq., the Supreme Court Reporter, had the last volume of the Reports printed out of the State. An attempt was made by some members of the Legislature to require him hereafter to give the printing of the Reports to printers in the State. Mr. Shand had a perfect right to have the printing done wherever be chose, and we don't see how any fair-minded man who understands the conditions of his office and sala ry can think of blaming him in the matter. He gets a salary of $1,500; he is required to have the Supreme Court Reports printed ; he must turn over 100 volumes to the State Librarian, for which the State pays him $500 ; all the other volumes belong to him. It is impossible to see where the State's claim for the printing comes in. His salary is certainly small enough to justify him to use the utmost economy in saving what he can of it. As to the $500 the State pays him for the 100 volumes, the State gets the books cheap enough. W' nile the law on the subject remains as it is now the Reporter is right to get the print ing done where he pleases, and he would be silly to have it done at a high price when- he can get it done for a lower. The law is wrong: the Reporter should be paid a rea sonable salary, and have nothing to do. with the Reports beyond pre paring them for the printer. Then they should become the property of the State,; the State should have them printed and bound; should pay for the work ; should sell the books throgh the State Librarian and put the proceeds in the Treas ury. That, however, is not the law. Two Big States for Grant. The New York Republican State Convention met last week in Utica to send delegates to the National Convention. . There.was a spirited contest. between the Grant and the Blaine men. One member nomina ted Blaine as "a Republican candi date before whom rebellion dare not raise its horrid head", meaning, probably, that in -case of another "rebellion" Blaine would hire a sub stitute, as he did in the last war, and send him to the front. Another member, with more zeal than rever ence, nominate Grant as "the God of Battles" A resolution was offer ed instructing the delegation to cast. a solid vote for Grant in the Chicago Convention-carried by -a vote of 217 to 180. Grant is now sure of Pennsylva nia and New York in the National Convention ; but the vote on the resolution to instruct the delegates to support him shows that - there is strong opposition to him in both States; the resolution was adopted by the Pennsylvania Convention by 133 to 113. The Presidency. When we say that Senator Bay ard, of Delaware, is the best man, among those mentioned, for the presidency, we mean that he would make the best President-that his character, intelligence, statesman ship and other qualities specially fit him for being President- Whether they fit him for becoming President, as our readers very well know, is a totally different pnestion. Political parties, when the.y are nearly equal ly divided and the contest is doubt ful, do not select a candidate on the basis of his fitness to fil the office, but his ability to get it. They don't ask who is the best man ; but who is the most "available" man-who will make the best run. As to Bayard's "availability'' we must confess (and it is a strange and un precedented confession for an edi tor) that we know nothing about it; we have no means of knowing; we don't profess to know. The Republicans have had four State Conventitns-Pennsylvania, Vermont, Indiana and New York ; the Democrats have had none. The Republican National Convention meets the 3d of Jane ; the Demo eratic National Convention meets the 22nd of June. Why this delay ? The Democrats are like a man waiting for his opponent to strike the first lick. The first lick is al ways a great advantage in a fight; ; it is sometimes half the battle. Does this halting, waiting policy imply timidity? The Democratic National Con ention will meet in Cincinnati the 2nd of June to nominate candi lates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency FOR THE UERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25, 1S8O. Speaker Randall-the best Speaker of the House, by the way, since Linn Boyd's time-says the amended rulks will be disposed of by the end of this week. Then business will go on. The Speaker said when the session commenced that it would close as early as May 15th. He allows another month, but no more. There-will be a great effort to finish the appropriation bills and adjouru before June 2nd, the day of meeting of the Republican Convention. There have been introduced daring the session six or seven bills for the removal of import duties on important articles, but the drift of opinion has been adverse to their consideration, and in favor of a commission to con sider a revision of the tariff laws. I think, however, that an exception may be made in favor of paper-print ing paper-and some of the muterials which enter into its manufacture. At least, the matter is in such shape now that an early expression of opinion by publishers would piobably produce a favorable decision. The proper Committee has decided, to have our next Presidential Conven tion at Cincinnati, on the 22nd of. June. About sixty per cent. of the voters of the United States were for the Democratic candidate in 1876. We may hope for even a larger per. centage this fall. The call is a com prehensive one. In it is the follow ing : "All Democratic conservative citizens of the United States, irres pective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure, economical and constitutional government, are cordially invited to join us in sending delegates to the Convention." It is well understood that Cincin nati was chosen because, on the whole, its selection could not be held in any way a declaration in favor of any par ticular candidate. The field is entire ly open, dissensions are disappearing in our ranks, and appearing in those of the enemy, and the prospect of suc cess is to day certainly better than at any time in the past three years. Secretary Schurz and a party of ladies and gentlemen have just return.. ed from a visit to the Irdian training school at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They express themselves as much pleased with the apto ess for study shown and progress made by the children. Three of the twelve Ute criminals have given themselves up and are now on their way here to have a talk with Schurz. There won't be anything done to them, our courageous Secre tary will simply talk to the brutes, and then send them home to repeat. the same outrages in the Spring. Schurz is dubbed "Old Woman" out West. DE M. It is no wonder that so many mothers praise Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup.

EDIToR : Our journey to Beth el on Friday was devoid of incident or interest. The heavy sand for some miles between Newberry and Pros perity was something of a drawback to travel. One new store in Pros perity, with a handsome red brick front and large, handsome windows attracted attention. This is the store of Messrs. Luther & Dominick. Our destination was Smokey Town, which is rather invisible, as only one house can be seen where once seven or eight stood, such as they were, log cabins which have vanished in smoke or in some other ~way. Some years ago a small cluster of such houses was called Smokey Town from the prevalence of a hazy atmosphere in that vicinity. Now the appellation of Smokey Town embraces a radius of two or three miles and it is now a city of magnifi cent distances, as scarcely two of the houses are in sight of each other. By the way, one new residence, Mr. W. Long's, near the church, is nearly completed. Mrs. Cason has just com pleted a new building, and Mr. Koon is about to commence building. The fields along our route were being pre pared for planting, but did not present the green and flourishing appearance that they did last October was a year when the writer passed the same road on a similar mission. fo.r then they were flourishing in cottv' whieb was still ini bloom. But on th;is occasion! we saw some flourishing wheat and some fields of volunteer 'xats which prmised a pretty full crop. One of these fields was adjacent to the house of our host and entertainer, Z~Ir. .Ueary ion, but sausages, ribs, &c., are a nogt excellent substitute in the wri :ei's opinion for the aforesaid dainty. P,y the by, our very kind hostess raises nly one kind of domestic fowl, none but a- white breed of chickens which ire very numerous on the premises in the summer and fall. and are a pretty =iL ht. The writer must not otuit to mention that he partook of a very Iarge wild turkey on Sunday at dinner to which he was invited by Mr. B flair, of Prosperity, whose brother Mr. Hilliard Hair, had killed the mon ter the day before, having chased it a mile nud n half, and not having a gut killed it with a stone. It was ex tremely fat and weighed twenty-thre< pounds. Mr. Hair was ploughing in a field when he discovered the turkey and sent to the house for a gun, bul for some reason it was not sent to him and after a long chase the turkey hid himself behind some cedars where he thought himself safe, but his pursuet took good aim and secured him. The Union meeting was pretty wel attended and the usual number o quc-ies discussed, but there was no thing of special interest in that way The congregation Sunday was ver: fine and presented a very respectabli appearance.
