Attention, Democrats . lu accordance with a resolution adopted at tho lust meeting of thoDomoeratio County Con vention, I hereby call a meeting of tho Conven tion of tho Demooratio Party of Oconco County, to bo held in the Court House ot Walhalla, on ^SJATURUAY, tho 6th day of October next, at 12 o'clock M., to consider the propriety of taking somo notion in reference to the election of ShorliT and Coronor of tho County.

Next Saturday is thc day for tho mooting of the County Convention and tho decision by it whether wo shall havo a nomination by delegates or by primary oloetion, or whether tho field shall bo open for a scrub race Wo hoar very littlo said by tho people, and ns yet very littlo intorcst has been mnuifestcd. This is a busy season, but wo should not yet bcoomo careless in matters of publio interest. Wo are barely across tho threshold, and cnn not afford to loso our organization or activity in elections, lest n year boneo sudden destruction ovortnko us in our State election. Wo do not proposo to try to in?ucnco our peoplo in this matter, but we do hopo tho clubs will manifest enough interest to send up dolcgatos and get tho voico of tho people generally. A meeting alter our strugglo of Inst year will bo pleasant and will serve to show that though no activo campaign is on hand, our organization is intact and ready to move ns a solid phalanx whenever oconsiun requires. Let us bavo a good turn out of tho poo/plo at large next Saturday as well as a full-i-cpresontation from all thc dubs. Court. A jury court for tho transactions of civil business has not been held in this County for above ono year. In fact a cloud has been ovor our jury list and tho question of its legality is now at issuo beforo tho Supremo Court. While this is true partios who ac cepted tho juries without challenge would havo been bound by their findings, and wo had boped in this way-to havo worked off a good deal of civil business this wock and all tho criminal business whore tho parties aro in jail. . The appointment of Judge Northrop to iho position of United States District Attor ney bas knocked all our calculations into pio, nnd we find ourselves Ioking forward to tho ?pring term of court for relief. At Andoreon last Thursday Judgo Northrop expressed bis willingness and even a profor enco to fill out his circuit, il he could r.rrange, to do so, but a telegram received by our Cierk on Monday from tho Judgo ordorcd tho court adjournod, ns he had to attend tho United Stales Court in Charleston. This an nouncement is of course tho death knoll to courts on the remnindor of tho Circuit until tho spring term. It is truo an n.t.tm court could bo ordered, but this is oxpensivo and unnecessary, as the business on tho dockets hero can bo easily tried in a term of two weeks in tho spring. Wo prosumo tho samo is true of Pickons; besides that, both boro and in Pickens thoro is a doubt about tho logality of the juries. In January a now list will bo made in both counties and juries drawn for tho regular spring term, whon tho wholo business of both counties cnn bo finished. Wo want no extra court, but wo do want and ospoot that at tho next regular term tho full two weoks will bo given to our county if needed. Tho postponement of civil business hereto1, foro hns not beon tho fault of tho Circuit Judgo, os tho bar havo generally assented or requested it nt ovcry summer term, and at "our Inst November torm the election and ox* oitomont led to tho consentivo postponement of court. During this year tho doubt about tho juries hos provontod much jury businoss, In tho futuro wo propaso to advocate courts ac cording to law and havo no postponement for any causo unless of necessity. - Prolin ti My.

Editora of Kcowcc Courier : DEAR SIRS-On last Monday, coming from Abbovillo to Walhalla, I was obliged to spond nonrly tho whole day at Hodges' Depot, waiting for tho up-train. Tho tedium was greatly reliovcd by an interesting conversa tion with old Father Emnnool Wiss, n rattier rcmnrkablo man in comparativo obscurity. He is 82 years old, but still possesses wonder* ful vigor of body uud mind, llcsidos hie other literary attain mont?, ho is quito conver sant with the French language This morning I received tho following noto from him tn connection with tho inclosed j translation of tho "Iloquiom of Hermann." I Among other things of interest, this piece throws fiomo light on tho origin of thc namo of our town, and I thought you might wish to givo ?t aplaco in tho COURIER. Respectfully yours, J. F. PROBST. HODGES' DEPOT, S. C., Sept. 20th, 1877. DEAR Stn: I was so well pleased With your conversation at tho post office, that I have translated a beautiful pieco, by Klopstock. a celebrated Gorman author, from tho French of Madama Do Stael, and hopo it will please you. Somo Americans soom ashamed of their foreign descent; I nm not; quito tho contrary. I feel proud of my Gorman nu ccstry, and am truly sorry I did not learn that language, and that my education was so limited. Most of what I know I lcarnod at night, after a hard day's work at carriage trimming. "Tho little knowledge I havo gained Was all through simplo nature strained." Vory respectfully yours, EMANUEL WISS. j "Requiem of the groat Gorman General Hormnnn," who was murdered by thoso who > envied bia greatness. Ile was known by tho Romans as "Arminius," sung by tho bards, Werdomar, Kerding and Durmond. W.-On tho antique moss covered rock, O . bnrd?l let us sit and sing tho funeral hymn! Lot none direct his steps any farther! Let | nono look under those branches, whero rc- | poso tho most noblo son of our country! There he lies, extended in his blood! Ho tho scorct terror of tho Homans; oven thon, when they lcd bis Thusnelda captive! No! do not look at bimi Who can soc him and not weep? j And tho lyre? It should not emit plaintive sounds; but Bounds of glory to tho immortal. ? K.-My bond is still covoved with tho ? flaxen hair of infanoy. I havo only to day girded tho sword. My hands aro for tho first tuna armod with the lnnceand tho lyre. How h will I bo ablo to sing of Hermann? Do not ox {cet too much from tho young man, O fathers! will wipe away tho tears from my checks with my golden bair, before daring to si.ig of tho greatest son of Mana. (1) D.-And I alsol I shed tears of anger! No! I will not withhold them! Flow burn ing tenrsl tears of furor! You aro not dumb; you call down vengonnco on thoso perfidious warriors! Oh my companions! Listen to my torriblo meditation! May nono of tho traitors to their country, tho assassins of the boro, die on tho field of battlcl W.-Behold the torrent that doscends from tho mountain and precipitates itself on those rocks; it rolls tho uprooted pines with its waters. It brings them for Hermann's funoral pile! Tho hero soon will bo but dust and ashosl but may on this holy dust bo put thc sword by which wo judge tho loss of tho conqueror! Stop, then! spirit of tho dead! before joining tho father Seigmar! Stop again! and seo how full of thee nro tho hearts of thy people K.-Let us bo silont; lot us not say to Thusnelda that her Hormnnn lies hero in his blood! Do not toll that noblo woman, that despairing mother, that thc father of Thumi liko hos ceased to live? Who could tell it to her, who has nlready walked loaded with chains beforo tho car of tho proud conqueror? Who could toll it to that unfortunato being, would havo tho moan heart of a Romani D.-Unfortunato daughter! who was thy father? Segcoste? a traitor? who, in thc dark, was whetting his sword for tho homicide? O! do not curso bimi Hela (2) has already marked him with her senil W.-May tho crime of Scgesto not interrupt our songs, and rather may eternal forgetful ness extend its wo! gb ty wingj over bis ashes! Tho carda of tho lyro, which resound nt tho namo of Hermann, would be profaned, if their trembling accused tho guilty. Hormnnn! Her mann! thou tho favorito of nil noblo hearts, tho chief of tho bravest, tho saviour of our country; it is to theo that tho hards in choir repeat tho praises in tho echo of thoso dark and mysterious forests! O battlo of Winfeld! Bloody twin sister of Cannes; I have seon thee with disheveled hair, fiery eyes and bloody hands, appear before tho harps of Walhalla. In vain did the son of Drusus try to conceal from theo all tho traces of tho vanquished, at tho valley of death. Wo did not suffer it, wo overturned tlioir graves, so I that their remains might bear witness on this groat day, this feast of spring; so that from ono ago to nnothor tho joyful cry of tho con qu?rais will bo heard. Our hero wished to send moro dead companions to Var US. Already, had it not boon for tho jealousy of tho princes. Crosina would havo joined his chief. A still moro noblo thought animated Hermann';) soul. At midnight, near tho altar of thc god Thor, in tho midst of tho sacri fices, ho said secretly to himself, "I will do it." This dosign followed bim oven among your games, when tho youthful warriors form dances, leap over their naked swords and nnimato their pleasures by dangers. Tho pilot, vanquisher of tho storm, tells us that in a distant, isle, (31 thy burning mountain announces, for n long while provious by whirlwinds of smoko, that flames and rocks will soon issue from its bosom; thus, tho first battles of Hermann prognosticated that somo day ho would cross tho Alps and descend to tho plains of Rome lt is there that the boro was either to polish or mount tho capitol, nnd near tho throne of Jupiter, who holds in his hands tho balances of destinies, interrogate Tilui ins, and tho shades of bis ancestors, un the justice of his wars. But to accomplish so hardy a project, it required that tho sword of tho boro, tho ehiof of battles, should bo curried among thc princes, Then, bis riva's conspired against him, and now ho is no morel no whoso soul had aspired to such groat and glorious doods! D.-Hast thou gathered my burning tears? Hast thou heard my words of furor? O Hela, (4) god?tes* who punishes? K.-Look i n Wn Mialla! under those snored shades, in tho midst of hemos, tho palm of victory in his hand, Soigrnar advances to meet his Hermann. Tho old mnn looks young again and salutes tho young hero, but a cloud of sadness obscures bis recoption, for Hor? mann will novcr moro go thorc; ho will never moro go to tho capitol io interrogate Tiborius, boioro tho throne of tho gods.

Red li cid, of tho Cincinnati Commercial, writing a roviow of tho Prosidont's jon? noy, rofor8 to Governor Hampton as follows: Tho pro8cnco of this gentleman at Louis ville was moro accidental than o thor wi so. Ho had j ust returned (rom Illinois, and was roturning home by tho route tho President took. To have him along was agrcoahlo to all concerned. Not that his company was sought in tho sonso that constraint was used lo bring him aboard the special train, but an invitation wus courteously extonded, which ho as courtoouslv nccoplcd. I know that thc Presidont likes Hampton, and has the groatest oontidonoo in him and in tho sincerity of bis professions. Ho thinks Hampton is a national patriot, if I may uso tho term, ns loyal to tho Union as need bo-in fact, that ho accepts tho situation in good faith, and is doing all ho can to bring back tho country to tho an cient lovo and conlidcnco which prevailed in the days of tho Revolution, In intreduomg Hampton, you may havo noticed that tho Presidont spooks highly of him. Well, in private conversation ho speaks just as highly and a good deni more iroely. And in con versation Hampton is lavish in his p?niso of Hayes. This South Carolina Governor is is anything but a doublo-fnccd man; ho is frank, open, monly, and ia private conver sation to his warm Southern friends ho is just as eulogistic of Haves as upon any other occasion. If there is anything in tho rales by which wo judgo of such matters, these mon have a grco.t liking for ono another. They can certainly cont?mplalo one another with respect, ior ouch carries wounds receive- 1 in buttle, Hampton having no loss than soven scattered over Iiis person. D?ring thc trip Hayes and Hampton have had many conver sations about a South Carolina visit. Hamp ton UVg'ng him to come thc first favorablo opportunity, beliov'ng ns ho docs llirt great good will grow out of it. "Set your limo," says Hampton, "und old South Carolina will give you a reception such as perhaps no mau ever received upon bor soil, and black and white will join in it, too. Come, we want to show tho country what wo can do now that wo arc recovering from tho blight of tho car pct-bngrulo." WASHINGTON, September 27.-Conkling's victory in tho New York Convention is caus ?ng much comment herc. Administration dticiuls admit that Conkling bas sounded thc (cynotc of opposition to thc administration in lis declaration that parties nm ko administra? ions, but administrations do not moko par . ?cs. Cnrbstono politicians here have been itiimilntcd into ronewing their old wiscnoro insertions to thc effect that something terrible s going to happen to Mr. Hayes when Con gress meets. There is no reason to believe, ?owevor, that tho so-celled nnti-IIuycs novemcnt will provo vory formidable in Con .. ?ress. Tho simple fact of tho matter is that Mr. Hayes is already slr mger than his party. Lt is conceded by every arriving Congressman ind public man (Senator Patterson nlonoex joptod) that bo is growing stronger daily. Whether Ilnyos is making or breaking tho Republican party of tho futuro is another question, but he ts master of tho situation nt present. It may bc sot down as nu assured fact that tho Democrats will not, and tho dis affected Republicans dare not, antagonize his Southern policy. Tho civil service reform experiment is likely to bo sarcastically hann Hod moro than once in debate, because it is thus far practically a failure, or at least has not been lived up to cither in the department hero or outsido, and a weak spot is open to Hayes enemies, which thoy will almost cer tainly make thc most of. Mr. Hayes himself is quito conscious of tho strength of bis present position. Ho U wary of tho subject in public, but talks freely and very confidently to his intimate friends. Even tho unexpected boldness of Conkling's position has not nt all Harmed him. although it was unexpected und mrpriscd both tho President and tho Cabinet. They all feel that tuc current of croats is with hem and cannot bo turned aside. - - m -?? m - ? WASII'NOTON, September 30.-In tho caso o ho United Slates vs. ex-Senator and ex-As? datant Secretary of li;G Treasury Sawyer, j?eti. P. D. Hoddy, Haynes, ex-Commissioner >f customs, and P. W. Drooka of ibo late firm if Parkman & Brooks, thc jury rendered a verdict of guilty, and the parties, except [toddy, were sent to jail to-day. Hoddy is in Europe nnd not on trial.

Thc convicts will bc retained in jail hero until tho exceptions nre heard nnd tho cases finally Hsposcd of. Thc parties m o convicted on tho jount of conspiracy lo pass a fraudulent claim ;>n which $57.000 wns paid to Hoddy. Tile unfortunate Sawyer, then secretary, only rc joived $1,1)00 of Uio plunder.

A Bucharest special to tho Timos says t!:?.i tho tremendous numboi* of wounded from Plevna bas overcrowded tho Russian hospitals, und much suffering is experienced by thc wounded in transit to Russia in consequence af insufficient accomodation and of tho deli sioncy of Surgeons and dressers. The Times, in a loading article on tho war, mys: "Tho end of tho campaign must bc nour, lind it promises to present something like a drawn battle Formally or informally thc poweis will then no doubt attempt to avert tho necessity of anothor campaign by tho aid jf diplomacy."
