The County Democratic Conven tion which meets to morrow, (Wed nesday) will determine whether we are to have the primary system of nominating officers or the old plan of nominating by conventions. The indications point very -decidedly to the adoption of the primary system. The subject has been talked of a great deal recently, and most of the delegates will come instructed as to bow they are to vote on the ques tion. The convention plan has be come very obnoxious to a large portion of the Democratic party in, the County-for reasons that it is not necessary to state-and there are many who while believing it the better plan of the two will favor the primary for the sako of harmony, thinking a change will give satisfac tion.- As we have said before, it is unfortunate that nominations should be made by clubs in any way, but there is a political necessity for it now- on account of the peculiar cir camstances that surround us. The negroes, as a race, combine togeth er, and in order to prevent their getting the offices or putting men in that are unfit, the whites must combine against them. It is really a fight between negro government -and white gover-nment in this State. There is no alternative left the whites in the present condition of affairs but to combine in organiza - -tions ; it is their only safety. And we confess, with regret, that it is so, that we see rio other alternative in the near future. This negro element will continue to be a trou blesome feature in politics. These things being true the Democra.ts should see to it that the club organ izations are not abused. The or iginal and real purpose of organiza tion must not be forgotten ; which. is to place the best men in office. it is solely upon this understanding that the great majority of Demo crats have consented to ignore pri vate preferences and to submit their judgment to the judgment of a majority of their fellow Democrats. They have entered the clubs from patriotic motives-not to advance themselves, nor to advance their friends. They have no axes to grind, and they do not propose to turn the grindstone for - others' axes. They have no personal nor partisan ends to subserve. Their -membership in the clubs costs them sacrifices-sacrifice of time and means, and a sacrifice, to some extent, of the free exercise of suf frage. These sacrifices they are willing to make so long as the or iginal purpose of the organization is observed. But they demand fair -treatment, and if they don't get it The Democratic organization will f-all to pieces. They don't propose, after all their'sacriflees, to be used by eliques and combinations, and they are not disposed to waste their time or to put themselves to extra trouble in trying to prevent wire-pulling and log-rolling. This cIess of men compose the great -mass of the Democratic party. They are content to work in har ness so long as the Democrats are organized only against the Radicals, but when Democrats combine against Democrats the object of party organization is perverted and defeated ; the professional politician and the demagogue then capture the "machine", and run it in their own interest. it is just such abuse of party organization that has cre ated so much dissatisfaction, and that accounts for the political leth argy that now prevails. The only true principle upon which to vote for a man is upon his~ merits, wheth er it be in a primary election, or a nominating convention. This prin ciple should be r-igidly observed and enforced. in the coming cam paigl. The first man, and every man, detected in an attempt at "log rolling" should be nipped in the bud- It is all well and proper for a candidate to work for himself, or for his friends to work for him, in n consideration that that club will mupport its candidate, they practice s fraud upon the rest of the party, mnd are paving the way to a swift lestruction of party orgapization. We hope there will be noihing of the kind in this campaign ; and that every Democrat will in nomi tating candidates support only men whom his own best judgment selects is-most competent and deserving ; that every candidate will come be fore the party on his own merits alone. If such be the case it mat ters very little whether the primary or the convention system be adop ted: either will give general satis faction. All there is to fear is a perversion and abuse of the Demo cratic organization ; and this can be prevented if every Democrat will resolve to do his duty, and not be made a tool of to advance the interests of scheming office-seekers and political understrappers. Hill and Hampton on Kellogg. The contested case of Spofford, Dem., vs. Kellogg, Rep., in the United States Senate is again under discussion. The facts of the case are, briefly, these: Kellogg was elected Senator by the "Packard Legislature" in January, 1877, for the term of four years, beginning March 4, 1877. This election took place -while the Kellogg government was upheld by the United States army ; the pretended Legislature did not have a quorum, and many of those claiming membership had never been elected. Kellogg used bribery, even in that spurious body, to secure his election. Louisiana was in precisely the same condition as this State was while the contest was going on between Hampton and Chamberlain, and between the "Wallace -House" and the "Mackey House". When Hayes removed the troops from Louisiana the Nicholls government assumed command and the so-called Packard Legislature vanished, those who were entitled to seats going to the legal Legisia tur4 the rest going home. The legal Legislature elected Spofford Senator. Both claimants presented their credentials in the Senate, and they were referred to the committee on elections, which committee.*re ported the 26th of November in favor of Kellogg-there was a mi nority report in favor of Spofford. The reports were discussed for many days. On the 30th of No vember following a vote was taken, and. the Senate by a strict party vote, (the Republicans then being in the majority,) adopted the fol lowing resolutions "That . William Pitt Kellogg is, upon the merits of the case, entitled to a seat in the Senate of the United States from the State of Louisiana for the term of six years, commen cing on the 4th March, 1877, and that he be admitted thereto upon taking the proper oath. "That Henry M. Spofford is not entitled to a seat in the Senate of the United States-" After the Democrats secured a majority in the Senate the case was reopened, and an attempt is now being made to oust Kellogg and put in Spofford. The question has been discussed very fully ; but the most notable speeches yet made on the subject were those of Hill, of Georgia, and Hampton, of South Carolina, the former in favor of un eating Kellogg, the latter in oppo sition-both delivered last week. Hill, who is one of the brightest minds of the country and a splen did debater, male one of the finest efforts of his life. He took the ground that the body that elected Kellogg was not a Legislature, which is true, and -that allowing him a seat is in violation of the U. S. Constitution, which declares that "The Senate of the United States shail be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legis lature thereof." That Kellogg hav ing been seated in violation of the Constitution he cannot plead res adjudicata, because an unconstitu tional act can give no rights. That, to allow Kellogg to retain his seat would beto deprive Louisiana of~ the right to elect her own Senator,~ and to place the election in the hands of the Senate itself. Senator Hampton, and the few other Democratic Senators who agree with him, acknowledge that all this is true, and that Spofford ought to have been seated instead of Kellogg ; but they maintain that it is too late now to undo the wrong ; that Kellogg having been seated on the merits of the case it vould establish a dangerous prece :lent to turn him out now ; that ifter a claimant has been thus ;ted the contest should end :that >n the minority side Wonld be in ecur' in his st:lt and would hold t at the will of the majority. There are strong arguwuts On )oth sides. and it is hard to decide vlhi-h side is right. On one side. t is an outrage on Louisiana to 'orce unon her a Senator that she ias not elected and that she does >ot want to represent her ; on the )ther side, to turn him out after he 2as been regularly seated would be :o establish a precedent that might .cad to most disastrous conse plences. It is a question between hwo evils. On the same side with Hampton ire Butler, of South Carolina. ior lon, of Georgia, Lamar, of Missis sippi, Bayard, of Delaware, and sev. eral others of the most distinguish ed Democratic Senators. The Re publicans, of course, are on the same side, for party reasons ; and Kel logg will hardly be turned out. Senator Butler, of South Caroli na, spoke Thursday, 19th, against unseating Kellogg. He did not think the Senate had the legal and onstitutional right to unseat a member who had been seated on the merits of the case, except by expulsion. It would be dangerous to establish a precedent by which an appeal may be taken from one majority to another. It is to the public interest that there be an end to litigation ; b t if the decision of one majority is to be reversed by another a case may never cud. Both Ham)ton an d Butler "went for" Hill with gloves off for his impertinent solicitqde for the honor of South Carolina. Hampton's speech was a plain. sinmple, manly and straight-forward talk ; Butler's was more elaborate and more argumentative, and he argued the question of res adjudica with great-legal ability, as Hill had done before him on the opposite side. A 4Governors Prerogat ivets. There are certain prerogatives incident to the office of Governor : among them the' pardoning power and the appointment of Auditors and Treasurers. Whether these prerogatives should have been given to the Governor is a question for debate; but there is no question that so long as the law places them in his haw'is he shouldi not shirk the responsibility of exercising them. As to the pardoning power our present Governor has adiopted a very convenient rule, hut wve (dont think a good one; he will not inter fere with any sentence unless the Judge who tried the case recoma mends it. This virtually throws the responsibility npon the Judges, and gives to them the pardoning power. It has been the custom of County Conventions to name the Auditors and Treasurers, and in many cases the ex:ecutive appointment has been simply a mantter of formn. We think both offices should be elect ive ; but so long as the law says the Governor shall appoint them he should shoulder the responsibil ity and exercise his own discretion in the matter, getting the necessary information from whatever source he deems best. If he should ask County Conventions to recommend suitable per-sons for the offices they might, with propriety, do so'; but for them to dictate to him whom he shall appoint is not courteous, and he should ti-eat such unsolicited dictation as impertinent. ~This manner of selecting officers is nei ther elective nor appointing ; nei tier the Executive nor the voters it larg-e have any voice in the mat K. of' H. The following omeiers of the Su peme Lodge of the Knights of Elonr to serve on1e year, were lected at theC recent session in Charleston :Sr neme Dictator, W. B.

Mam-shal for South Carolina. The County Chairman. The most important thing to be f. done by the County Convention to morrow, the 26th, is the election of a County Executive Committee. The responsible work of the cam paign falls chiefly upon this body. This Coiumittee should consist of f the wisest and most judicious men C that can be found in the party. c Great care should be taken in so lecting a suitable man for Chair man of this Committee. Upon him will depend to a very large extent the success of the canpatgn. J. F. J. Cadwell, Esq., who has filled this position since July, 1877, and has discharged its grave and respoisible duties with ability and entn a satisfaction, will decline to ser e any longer should he be nom inated for the position. Presidential Appointments. President Hayes has appointed Gen. James Longstreet, of Gaines ville, Ga., Minister to Turkey. His salary will be $7,500. He has also appointed Postmas ter- General D. M. Key, U. S. Judge for the Ea'stern and Middle Dis tricts of Tennessee, and Hoace Maynard, of Tennessee. to succeed Key as Postmaster-General. The State Press Association will meet in Greenville the 17th of June, and continue in session two or three days. Mr. T. B. Crews, of the Laurensville Herald, has ar ranged for an excursion of the inembers of the Association. to Cin cinnati during the session of the National Democratic tonvention, which meets June 20th. The fra ternity anticipate a good time. Senator Juo. 1. Gordon, of Geor gia, has resigned his seat in the United States Senate. His reasons are, that he desires to quit public life, and .that his private business requires all his attention. Gordon's term expires the 4th of March, 1885. Gov. Colquitt has appointed ex Gov. Joseph E. Brown to fill the vacancy till the meeting of the Georgia Legislature. Congress has appropriated $15, 000 for a bronze statue to Gen. Daniel Morgan, the hero of the bat. tIle of Cowpens, Spartanburg Coun ty. The States of North Carolina, Soutli Carolin~a e,ud Tennessee will erect a Memorial Colutn on wrhich to place the statue. Mr. J. C. Henmphill~. has retired. from his editorial connection with the Abbeville 31ediunt to take a p~o sition on the staff of the Charleston News and Courier. Mr. B. R. Hemphill is now the sole editor of the Medium. The California delegation to Cin cinnati are for Thurman. Women Never Think ! If the crabbed old bachelor who ut tered this sentiment could but witness the intense thouight, deep study and thorough investigation of womn in determining the best medicines to keep their families well, and would note their sagacity and wisdom in se lecting Hop Bitters as the best and demonstrating it by keeping their families in perpetual health, at a mere nominal expense, he would be forced to acknowledge that such sen timents are baseless and false. GENERAL IJAGooD'S LETTER.-WC ask attention to General Hagood's letter in another column of the Press and Banner. He speaks in a man ner to command the respect of the people of South Carolina. While no manI in South Carolina served a more gallant part in the war, his modesty has prevente-d either him or his friends from parading that fact before the public. Politically we endorse General- HJagood. We have, ho wever, felt .called upon ir. the past to eriti cise some ofr his oftcial acts in at tempting to fasten what we thought an excessive and unjust assessment of the property of Abbev-ille county, but for all this, if no third man can be brought into the field, we should favor his nomination for Gov. ernor. Since General Gary has man fully pronounced his views on the subject of Independentism, we have no doubt of the election of the nominee, whoever he may be. General Gary's speech last S-aleday at Edgefield has mollified much - of the strong opposi tion which then existed against him, and his friends and foes alike respect him more now than before his speech.

Trip to the Blue Grass Conn try. Thec; meeting of the Southern Bap st Convention on the lith inst., is ,exington, Kentucky, the centre of 1 be celebrated Blue Grass Country, b urnished to several persons in our a ominunity an opportunity to see that ir famed and beautiful section. Leav n Newberry on the 3d, and reaching itlanta the next morning,our party was b t once besieged by the agents of the wor.,utes-the new Cincinnati South- r ru and the old way by Nashville and .ouisville. We finally decided in fa 'or of the long route by Nashville and .ouisville, because we could thus, in eturihing, stop at Mammoth Cave eaving Atianta at 3 P. M., on Tues lay, the 4th, we sped on by Chatta ioga, Nashville and Louiaville, hrough the picturesque scenery of .'umberlaud Mountains. now dashing brough dark tunnels and agaiu ;weeping around the mountain side on ;he edge of deep gorges or far reach ng and smiling valleys, and finally >ver the undulating fields of blue rass to Lexington, reaching there at ) o'clock Weduesduy night. The session of the Convention was highly interesting and encouraging. The attendance was larger than ever before, the reports from the Mission Bards and Seminary highly gratify ing, and hospitality dispensed by the Lexington people generous in the es trewe. We enjoyed riding out on some of the magnificent turnpikes that lead into the city and looking at the fa m,ogs short horns and fo,e horses. One farm we visited just outside the city, consisting of two hundred acres, cost the owner a few years ago 6187.50 per aere, a nd a nu2wber of the in ported cows browsing on its beautiful blue grass fields cost fron two to four thousand dollars each. The spring races were in progress and there were over one hundred and fifty race horses in Lexington. We didn't see the races, but we did see someC of the fine race horses and talked some to Gen. Buford and Mr. Harper about their famous stock. At the close of the (Couvention, to. gether with many other delegates we took an excursion to Cincin nati and spent a day. looking at the sights of that busy and beautiful city of 300,000 inhabitants. The most noted of these sights is the foologicali Garden, where an uncommonly large and fine collection of animals may be seen. Some of cur party showed a decided preference for the monkey house-"Birds, of a feather, &c." ~t night the B3aptists of Clncinnati gave us a grand ovation in the base ent of one of their churches, whcre 300 people sat down to supper and feasted on good things, ending with ice cream and strawberries, and fol lowed by specchcs in which we were told that the people of the North an'i of the South have at last learned to love each other... On our return we stopped for a day in Louisville, and were favorably im pressed with its activity and enter prise. And finally we took in the Mammoth Care-or rather, it took us in. We spent four hours in the Cave beholding its wonders ; and conscious that no attempt at description can give any just idea of its grandeur we can only say that it is one ofl the most wonderful and beautiful natural curi sities we have ever seen. Leaving the Cave at noon Thursday we reached ome Saturday, delighted with our trip, but glad also to be "home again." To those who would like to see one >f the most charming portions of our. youtry permit us to commend the eautiful blue grass section of Eastern Kentucky. L. B1.

The Ripnblicans seem~ cheerful, but it is plain they lack the confidence of former years. By a judicious nomi nation at Cincinnati I think Demno ratie success is assured. When we can bring to the front such men as Hancock, Thurman, Field, Seymour, Bayard and Hendricks our chance of aking a strong nomination are bet ter than ever before. All is alive with excitement to-day, for at 4.30 the gres Hlanlan-Courtney race conmes off. This ketter leaves too early to give the result. The betting is in favor of Hlanlan.
