Tho issue Ima been joined in South Caro lina. Tho Domoorats havo put their ticket in tho Hold and tho canvuss is wall under way. Th ero is not much enthusiasm in tho Taco, but tho whito people of tho Stato aro as much determiner! us they over were to sue cccd in tho content. Taking tho State at largo there is not muoh defection in tho ranks of tho party and wo can seo no reason for doubt or an x io ty. Tho contest is for good government and with our ezperienco from 1808 to 1870 wo aro willing to mako many sacrifices for success. Tho Oreenbncker. Iso havo thoir ticket in tho field, endorsed and to bo voled for by tho Republicans of tho Stalo. Tho issuo there fore hos boen joined and it is for tho people to say who shall rule for tho futuro in South Carolina. This bargain between tho Greens baokors and Republicans has produced as corrupt a coalition as was ovor formed. Tho Grocnbaukors aro a mers handful in tho Stato and their only chanco of success lies in tho voto of tho negro. Tho Greenback sky linet a dark lining. Tho samo pnrty that gavo us tho infamous government during tho reconstruction period is at our political doors knooking for admission through the willing hands of a few deluded whito mon, It is unreasonable to expcot that such a trude and transparent trick cnn Bucoccd. To pre vent success, however, on tho part of tho coalitionists, tho Democrats must bo up and doing. Spirit nnd activity must bo infused into tho campaign and tho pooplo taught from tho stump, tho fircsido, &o., that thora is daugor ahead. Our adversaries havo tho numbers against us, unless we call to our assistance tho bettor class of tho colored poo pie. At ovcry election from 1870 to tho prosont moro or less of these pooplo havo voted tho Democratic tioket. And why should thoy not do so? Tho Domooratio party is the party of progress and improve ment, and this it has always boon. In all our contests tho rights and liberties of tho pooplo havo beon protected and prosorved by this grand old party. It is also tho party of reform and low taxes. Comparo tho present with tho Radicnl pnrty and eco which pnrty is with tho pcoplo and for tho pooplo. True, it may bo that tho Logislaturo or somo co-ordinate branch of tho government may do something or omit to do something that works hardly to sections or ci?eses of tho pcoplo. All cannot bo pleased und all cannot bo protected from wrong and injury. In tho nature of things tho government bears moro strongly on somo than others, but this cannot last long. If errors orocp in or wrongs are committed thoy will be corrcotod. If representatives of tho pooplo loso thoir bal anoo thoy can bo sent to the rear for any length of probation. Thc country bc longs to tho people and thoy can govorn it ns thoy see fit and wc aro well untidied they will do so. In addition to tho issuo joined in tho Stato cuivnss we havo opposition organized in our county contest. Thc lines will bo drawn in the county as woll as in the Stato, and the battlo will rogo from tho mountains to tho sea. Wo accept tho gnugo of battlo thrown down in our midst. From 1808 to the present timo wo have had good governmont in Oconeo, except when a Radical treasurer foll short in his accounts. Tho pcoplo do not prdpoeo to surrender thoir decent, honest local govornmont for tho Groonbaok or Repub? Hean coalitionists to experiment with. Rut to retain this governmont nn effort must bo made-a united, dotormined effort of tho Dcmooraoy of Ooonco. Tho canvass is now going on. When tho primary election io over tho canvass should bo commenced in carneen, and ovcry man, black or whito, who is with us in this emorgonoy, will rango himself under tho Domooratio bannor to battlo to tho end for good governmont, low taxes, pros perity and general happiness. The largest animal on earth will positively be seen with S. II. Barrett cVCo.'s now show at Walhalla, on Wodnosday, Octobor 4th. Tho Grocnbaokors do not soom able to even bull dozo straight. W. Walkor Russell, hoad of tho party, recently wrote to Gen. James P. Izlar, Democratic Chairman, to warn Dem?crata against demanding joint discussions. Tho lottor was directed to "Oen. W. F.' Islar" and referred him to sec tion 6,220. Roviscd Statutes, and "78 Otto." Section 5,220 says: "Any nssoo'tation may go into liquidation and be closed by the vote of its shareholders owning two-thirds of its stock," nnd thorn is no such law book ns "08 Otto." Whether the Greonbaokors aro going into liquidation or. nd ia not stated. The Rep?blica ti Stale Cou ve inion. Tbis body of mongrols met in Columbia lust week. All tho count ios ?ere represented by delegates and more than tho usual inter est wat manifested by them in tho proceed - ings. The first contest was for tho control of tho convention. E. W. M. Maokey, white, and Smalls and Leo, oolored, were the aspirants. Lee was successful through tho help of Smalls, both being willing to fight Maokoy in all preliminary contests. The disgraceful scones, - common to this body in former days, woro ro-ennoted on porhnps a dirtier And lowor seale. Tho principal discussion was over tho question of making a nomination of their own, or of endorsing the Greenback tiokot for State officers. The delegates not ooneeal their opinions. Politically, tl? were opposed to tho principios of the Qrconbaok party, but, being poworless themselves, tboy wore willing to voto for and moko com? mon cause with tho Oreenbaokers for the purpose of defeating the Bourbon Democrats, as they aro pleased to call thom. Very few of tho spoakcrs believed tbut the coalition would be succosstul thia (imo, but they looked upon it as the ontering wedge that would in tho ond band tho Stato over to tho Republi can party. Not very much consideration was shown in the discussion for tho Green backers or what was to become of thom in tho future. Clearly, tho objcot of tho Republi can leaders was to uso ibo Groonbaokors to "pull tho chestnuts out of tho fire," and then they expected to reap the substantial fruits of tho operation. Finally tho Repub lican convention endorsed tho Stato Green back tiokot and for a timo at least promised to east their fortunes, bad as they are, with tho Grccnbaokors. Tho angriest and fiorcest contest was mado over tho Chairmanship of.tho Stato Exccu* live Committee. Mr. Brayton, of tho rovenuo department, took a hand along with Mackey and Sam Leo for this position. The "rovenuos" wore routed ns troll as Sam Loo and Mackey was successful. Charges woro openly mado that Maokoy purchased his way into tho position and no ono has don ?cd it. This gives Mao key control of tho party machinery and will onnblo him thereby to handle tho ready cash of tho campaign. Mackey, Smalls and Leo aro making a desperate effort to secure tho nomination for Congress in tho 7th or "Black District." From appearances Mackey will bo success*, ful. The convention endorsed Col. Cash for Congress from tho Fifth District, thereby blasting tho hopos of T. J. Mackoy for tho position. Tho Groonbaokors rofrained from making nominations for Congross in tho "Black District," which shows that the coalition between them and tho Republicans is com? plcto and ns ro ttcn and offousivo as trading in politics cnn bo. County Convention of the Green backers. Tho county convention of tho Greenback party of Oconco County mot in thc court tinoso at Walhalla on Saturday last. Tho convention WOB called to ordor by Mr. Henry Harbin, who seems to bc tho generalissimo of tho party in Oconco. A temporary organi zation was effected by electing Mr, James B. Phillips Chairman and J. Chu kc Hunni outt Seorotary. Tho roll of dclcgatos was called whon it appeared that niuo clubs were represented by fifty-six delegates, bixtccn of whom were colorod. Tho largest club was represente.'' by twenty delegates on tho roil coll, though all of them did not answer to their names. The delegates wore eaid to represent five members each, which would givo the Soncca club ono hundred members. Tho other clubs wore smaller, some of them running to ono or two delegates. Tho clubs repre sented wcro Seneca, Doublo Springs, Little Uiver, Salem, Center, Walhalla. Long Crook, Holly Springs and a oolored club, tho name of whioh escaped us. Mr. W. J. Harbin was mado pormancnt Chairman and Mr. Hunnicutt was con tinued as permanent Seorotary of tho con vention. Nominations for tho Legislature and county nflie.es being in order, tho names of MoBsrs. Goorgo R. Chorry, Jamos M. Hunnioutt and Robert Craig wore announced by their friends for tho Legislature. Messrs. Cherry and Hunnioutt wero nominated by large majorities-that of Mr. Cherry being unani mous. Tho chairman of the convention stated that ho had had an interview with Mr. Cherry, who stated that tho announcement of his nnmo in thc primary election was with? out his consent, and that ho would accept thc nomination of tho Grccnbaokors. Tho convention refused to mako a nomi nation for Probato Judge. Tho reason for this as stated was highly creditable to tho convention and Judge Lewis and will not prejudice him with his party friends. Mr. J. Clarke Hunnioutt was nominated for School Commissioner. Messrs. Johnson R. Cleveland, Charles W. Hunt and John W. Cannon wore nominated as candidates for tho office of County Com missioners. Mr. J. B. Sanders was nominated for Coroner. An ozoontivo oommittoo of ono from each club was appointod and woro authorized to fill vacancies of nominees if any shall do oli no. -- _? ? -. Tito luxurious abundance in food produc tion tho world ovor this year is a strange contrast with tho prices city folks havo to pay at tho magots. Figaros from Austria, Italy, Franco, Germany, Russia, the States of our own oountry, nnd in short, tho whole of tho Northern homisphoro show that never since statistics began to be collected bato thoro boon such great harvests. Tho only complaint wc hoar of is from Spain. Tho oon80quonco of this should bo a decreased cost of living. Where there is abundaneo there should bo low prices. It ought to cost loss to produco because it costs loss to live. ' Prices, however, romain stiff, and the people havo not yot in these centros of population begun to profit largely by tho groat yield of ? croad aeres of tho earth, but thoro is every j promieo of lowor pviaoa.

Abstract of Minutes of South Carolina Presbytery* The Presbytery of South Carotina met at Richland church, Oconeo county, September 14 and continued its sessions till September 10. The opening Hermon was preached by Hov. S. L. Morris, last moderator. There wero present during the session forty? two delegates, vis : Seventeen ministers and twenty-five ruting elders. Rev. J. L. Marlin was eleoted moderator and Hov. W. Q. Nevill reading clerk. Rev. F. P. Mullally, D. D., was received from Lexington (Va.) Presbytery and Uer. A. P. Nicholson from Enoree Presbytery. The name of Westminster eburoh was en rolled, having boen organised since last meeting of Presbytery. Carmel church presented a call for thc services of Kev. A. P. Nicholson, which was plaoed in his hands, and he was granted permission to retain the call till noxl meeting of Presbytery. Call for the servioes of Rev. J. P. Marion, of Bethel Presbytery, was presented by Rock church, which was returned lo tho church because irregular in som o respects. The fol.? ig persons wero eleoted Trustees of Adger College for the term of toreo years : Major Wm. J. Slribling, Rov. E. P. Davis, Rev. D. E. Friorson, T. C. Gower, Col. W. C. Keith, James McCarcy. Rev. A.P. Nicholson, John W. Shelor and J. D. Verner. Petition was received from Pelzor requesting organisation of a ohuroh at that plaoo. Six overtures wcro presented to (ho Presby tery. First, proposing lo change tho constitution, so as to maVo tho minister and one ruling elder a quorum of session where there aro but. two elders in a church, was adopted unanimously. Second overturo, whether a eburoh session oan discipline a member without tho presence of a minister, wns answered attn [natively, but tho session was recommended not to proceed for prudential reasons, unless impossible to secure tho pr?sence of a minister. Third overturo, whether the salo of Intoxicat ing spirits in n publio bar room as a bevcrngo by a member of the ohuroh was a disoiplinablo ofionco, wno answered : Thal io the Presbytery it seemed difficult to imagine such a cuso where the act was not sinful, bul each ohuroh session must bc tho judges of the circumstances of each particular case. Overtures four nnd five related lo the estab lishment of fraternal relations with tho Norlhorn ohuroh, and thc Presbytery disapproved of tho basis accepted by the Atlanta Assembly by passing (he following paper almost unanimously: Whereas tho establishment of fraternal rela tions with thc Northern General Assembly by tho Southern General Assembly upon a basis, al least questionable if not positively dishonora ble to the Southern church, lins caused great dissatisfaction and much debate nnd uncertainty in our minds in regard to the basis of the fra. tcrnal relations; and whereas tho notion of the Atlanta Assembly was based upon tho " concur rent resolution," which the Springfield Assem bly, whilst professing to accept, did, by passing tho " Herrick Johnson resolution," really and even fundamentally modify, by declaring that they only adopted it in n restricted sense; and whereas real friendship cannot exist where the terms aro equivocal and thc basis dishonorable lo either parly; therefore, bo it Jittolved 1. That (his Presbytery, whilst not questioning the motives which guided tho Atlanta Assembly to its conclusion, bul believ ing that it acted conscientiously according to (he light then before it, when tho quesliou was sprung suddenly upon it in its modified form; yet in tho exercise of its olear constitutional right to review tho proceedings of its commis sioners, does hereby overture tho next General Assembly (o ask un ollicinl interpretation of thc " Herrick Johnson resolution," which shall bo satisfactory lo thc Lexington Assembly before our appointed delegates take their seats. ' 2. That hereafter fraternal correspondence bo by letter and not by interchange of delegates. Overture six, in regard to appointing a com mittee of ono to aot with thc parties having charge of tho "Southern Chatutiqua Institute," wns withdrawn. Rev. W. G. Nevill was elected Presbyterial Sunday School Superintendent instead of Rev. E. P. Davis rcsigucd. Rev. J. R. Riley, Rev. W. F. Pearson and R. C.

WALHALLA, S. C., Scplomber 19, 1882. MKSSUS, EDITO S: In your last issue "Tax Payer" requests an expression of Ibo views of the different candidates for tho Legislature on tho question of tho proposed constitutional amendment, providing for thc formation of new roomies. In compliance with this request I havo to say that 1 am opposed to Ibo amend i ment, shall volo against il and hnve already been exerting myself, and shall continuo to * tlo BO, (0 detent it before the people. If lt i should bo adopted by tho people, and 1 nm I sent to thc Legislature, I shall lhere endeavor 3 to prevent its ratification, unless a majority of the pcoplo of Oconeo county volo for il, in which ease I should feel bound to enrry oui 1 the will of tho pooplo fairly expressed by a t majority volo, though il should bo contrary to . my own convictions. If it should finally bo t como a part of tho constitution, in spite of efforts to defeat it, 1 should then try to pre vent Ibo taking any part of Oconeo county to form a new county. Thc arguments for nnd ngiinsl this amend ment, and tho consequent formation of new f counties under it, if il should carry, have boen so fully discussed in Ibo papers nnd in Ibo canvass by myself nnd others, that I shall 8 nol give my views upon Ihoui nt length in r this oonncclion; nnd moro especially shall I . refrain from intruding on you my fensons for , tho position I occupy, as 1 understand that it is only tho position on (his question nf tho different can il idm es and not their reasons for f it that is asked by "Tax Payer." 1 think, 0 however, Hint I have good reasons lor tho ?, faith that is in mo mid nm ready ul all limes to give thom.
