The sale represented tho ontire contents of Dr. Weldon's wino cellar at bis "Sunnyside" vineyard near Greenville, amounting to over 1,000 gal lons, and tho purchaser woe a wealthy Charleston man who proposes to store tho wino and allow il to accumulate those virtues that do cluster about tho juico of tho grape with the lapse of tho years. The purchase of so largo a quan tity of the produot of the Sunnyside vineyard is a merited tributo to tho supe riority and excellence of tho wines .nado by Dr. Weldon, who enjoys the reputa tion of being ono of tho best viticultur ists in this soot ion.

Tho Clerk also states that be fore this suit was terminated he "do parted tho realm" with a girl of Root parentage whom 1..- had seduced.

Tho Governor is keeping in hi office a public document that should h submitted to the people." Strong r?solu lions were unanimously adopted denomu ing tho action of the Governor in witli holding so long the contents of the all davit as "tyrannical," and as "spread i ll broad east over the country rumors ?is t the contents thereof damaging to th character of the outraged lady, ?md foslet ing the spirit ol' lynch law," lt is to h feared that this is tho only ease of th kind that will he allowed to go to dial i our courts for a good many days to conn Tim chastity of (ho w omanhood of Soul Carolina will he maintained at ?ill ha; ards, and hereafter the ready rope ?\n hoarest limo will he apt to suporccd such vexatious delays of the law in vlsi ing swift and merited ptmishmoi Upon tho foul perpetrator.

Ci??lU.MAiN I.OVT, OK THK KXKCUT1VK COMMtlTKtt. [From tho Greenville News.] Since tho adjournment of tho March Convention there has been much speculation as to what conreo would bo pursued by tho State Demo cratic Executive Committoo in view of tho action of that convention. Numbers of suggestions have been mndo as to what thc committee ought to do in thc present unusual condition of affairs in Stato polities, but so far th oro has been no intima tion of tho views of any prominent member of thc body. With a view to occuring au aulhoritivc expression of opinion on those questions arising out of thc action of the March Con rention which come within tho pro vince of thc Executive Committoo, a reporter for thc Daily NiiWB inter viewed Colonel James A. Hoyt, Chairman of thc Committoo, and the questions asked ami thc answers given by Colonel Hoyt are given be low : "Under thc third section of the platform adopted by thc March Con vention there arc certain demands, but it is not clearly indicated as to whom these demands are to apply. Has your Executive Committee re ceived any communication in regard to them ? "No, it has not," Colonel Hoyt an swered. "A few days after tlc adjournment of thc Mandi Conven tion I received a respectful and courteous communication from Cap tain G. W. Shell, Chairman of thc Campaign Committee, requesting that thc Democratic State Conven tion should not be convened until late in August; to which I replied that his letter would bc placed be fore thc Executive Committee at its first meeting, and at tho same time reminded him that the State Con vention was generally called about thc middle or last of August for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor, Lioutonant-Govornor, &'c, but that thc last Convention was held on the (Uh of September. "I have boon surprised at tho demands to which you refer, how ever, and am curious to know upon whom they will be made. The avowed author of thc plat form is Captain Tillman, and it is a singular fact that these demands of its third section arc utterly impracticable and unattainable. The first clause rends as follows : 'Wc demand tho re-ap portionment of representation in tho D?mocratie Convention upon lh,|\ basis of the census of 188flvn.iv?*, it go into effect ?his y?t?r\i No otho? auUior-;;;' t,m|| (m, Sf.,u. Kx00?tlvc ? 'ttfommittoo can issue a call for tho Democratic Convention, and it must 1 be guided solely by thc Constitution of thc party, which directs as fol lows : 'The State Convention shall he composed of delegates from each count)', in the numerical proportion . to which that county is entitled in i both branches of thc General Asscm l biy.' The committee has no discre l tion whatever as to thc basis of rep I rC80ntation, ami it is surprising that . a gentleman aspiring to the high otlice of Governor should dolibcr ? ately make such a demand, which a - slight investigation shows can not be < complied with. I am in full synt .' pathy with tho idea of re-apportion ; nient when it can be done lawfully. I but the Legislature refused to change - the basis and wc arc bound to observe i thc law as it is laid down in the Con - st it ut ion of tho party. Any other i course is demoralizing and suicidal. "The other demand of thc third - section is as follows: kWo demand i that the delegates to thc State Nomi - Hating Convention shall be chosen - by primary election on thc sanie day I that the other ollicers are nominated; ? and that all thc counties shall hold i these primaries on the same ?lay, tc - wit, the last Tuesday in Angus! ol t each election year.' It is not ?deni i whether the author of tho platform - meant that this portion shall go into effect at once, but I presumo it was - so intended. This demand is equally v unfortunate with the preceding cia usc. f There is no power to regulate tin , election (d' delegates to thc State - Convention and dictate the mode of t their selection. Certainly thc Stale i Kxcculivo Committoo bas no tutthor I ?ly in the premises, ami it has neve) i attempted to exercise any control ol / this matter. Each county is entirely free to provide its own mode ol choosing delegates lo the State Con vention, and this has been (be casi all thc while. No power can pre vent any county from electing it. 1 delegates by primary, and it i. ;- equally true that no power can com pel any county to adopt thc primai'3 o for lids purpose. The proposition f to bold primary elections for dele t gates on thc same day in all tin il counties is altogether out of tin 0 question, unless thc counties agree 1 * thereto. It would take considerable s time to make thc agreement, foi 1 what would suit one locality might i- provo inconvenient to others. Ai a any rate, thc way is open for nil) r county lo order this election ol' dele s gates by the primary system when e ever it chooses, and thc election wil i- be valid and unquestioned." "Dow about what is termed tin i 'Georgia plan' of candidates gonn; i- before thc people? Is there an\ <i way provided for discussions, so that o the voters will have an opportunity c of hearing from thc aspirants as l( .- their views Upon public questions?' e "Tho 'Georgia plan,' as it is termed e is not. adapted to our condition, if I ii understand it. The course pursuoi \ in sonic counties in Georgia is t< li hold mass-meetings, which decid? '.- the choice of delegates to (he Stat? tl Convention, usually without ballot (? but always in tho absence of ven 1- many voter*. Two years ago wi; line it a preliminary campaign in this State o a mass-mOOtiiig being held in encl .- Congressional District for 'ho pitt*' >f pose of hearing candidates ...r Sinti offices, but it proved so unsatisfao tory in many respects that tho State Convention repealed tho olauao of tito CoWBtitution under w ..toll thoso ? meetings woro hold, and adoptad tho following : 'The Stu^3 Domocratio Executive Committal* shall request each county committco to call a meeting in their respective counties-, to which all candidates for State ] olliccs shall bc invited.' In my judg ment, this will meet thc demand for free discussion of public measures, , and amply provide tho opportunities ' for getting at tho views of candi- 1 ilates. Hut while this is true, and I thu Democratic party has given , abundant proof of its willingness to f a< ?lige a preliminary campaign, wo arc to have tho singular condition of 1 affairs in thc pending contest of a 1 campaign committee arranging a j schedule of appointments for a sin- ( gie candidate; whereas thc purpose of this arrangement was to hoar from all thc candidates. It is obliga- ? tory upon thc State Executive Com mittcc to request these meetings in j all of tho counties, and it is left with ^ tho counties whether they will bc held, lt seems to mo that there will likely arise conflict between tho ' appointments of thc Democratic I party and thc arrangements of Capt. f Tillman's campaign committee, while such conflict ought to bo avoided if J possible. Assuredly tho authority of the Democratic party can not bo ' made subservient to any faction, and i so far as I am concerned, 1 will urge } most strenuously that the arrange ments of thc party, as adopted by the State Convention, shall take prc- 1 cod on co of all other plans for a pre liminary canvass of thc State. Of course, Captain Tillman or any other ] citizen has an undoubted right to make his own campaign for any ollico, but 1 allude to thc possibility of con ll ic ting arrangements by which t tho authority of tho Democratic j party might bc put into contempt, , and in that event it will bc thc duty ^ of the State Executive Committee to assert the supremacy of tho party 1 as against any faction. Herc lies one of thc dangers resulting from 1 tho construction of 'awheel within ^ a wheel,' and it would bc tho wiser pinn if all parties would accept thc provision already made for a pro- . [iminnry campaign, instead of acting j independently. Every occasion for friction ought to bo avoided in this campaign, not only because wc arc j in the constant presence of the enemy, but for thc reason that thc . opponent of to-day becomes thc standard bearer ?d' to-morrow. We can not alford to split into warring factions, with poised daggers and drawn swords, and the quicker every man realizes his individual responsi bility for tho outcome of the present agitation, thc surer will thc best in terests of the State bc subserved." . "Have you decided lo call tho Slate Executive Committee tOfff}*bPrJ. . , , i . . . .nexorab1' at ap earlv .I;;;-} ?;"" |s ,t |iklqy nmt. thc State Convention will meet earli er than usual ?" "I have been busily engaged for the past month in preparing for a meeting of tho Executive Commit tee by collecting information from various sources, especially from thc County Chairmen, as lo thc condi tion of the party in this State. In some of tho counties thc informa tion given is meagre and fragmen tary, while in others it is full and satisfactory. Il is evident that strict Organization does not prevail in all of tho counties, and I hope to secure a better state of affairs after Uio Executive Com millett bas furnished the requisite instructions therefor. In the matter of registration there is much work to be done, and it must bo done quickly. It was my purpose to convene tin? committee next week, but prior engagements of several members will cause its post ponement for a short while. "1 know of no reason to suppose thal thc State Convention will bc j called at an earlier date than usual. There are extremo views on both ! sides of tho question now before the I people, and it is needless to say that ! I nm not nu extremist in anything. I fully recognize Captain Tillman and those who ?ire acting with him I as my fellow-Democrats, while hon ! ostly believing that they are piirsu ; ?Hg methods of an unusual character which are dangerous in their tenden cies and altogether unnecessary. 1 Every reasonable consideration shall be given to them as to all others, and so long ns I bey do not t rench upon the rightful prerogatives of the State Executive Committco nor I call into quest ion the supremacy of the Democratic party, to which they have pledged unreserved allegiance, I can not perceive thc wisdom or the . I propriety of treating them as aliens and enemies, and least of all is it my . purpose to shape events III that direction, Wo need the unity of our party in this State, and as a member of the Executive Commit tee it will be my aim to preserve that ' unity, not to jeopardize it. It is a 1 time lo counsel forbearance, not. to excite animosities, and tho thinking men of all classes will readily gauge ' thc patriotism of every one by thc willingness lo obey tho behests of his parly through thc accustomed channels.

In tho issue of thc 18th instant I ;avo an editorial on "Thc Alliance md its aims."

I ask this of you because of ,hc adoption and publication of tho ollowing resolutions in tho Bamberg Advertiser by tho Bamberg sub-Al iaueo. I ask your judgment simply >ccauso I want to know whether I un right or wrong, and go to you at Headquarters. Yours fraternally, M. J. PATH. CUB KKI.ATIONS OK TUB ALLIANCE TO POLITICS. Li TT LU KOCK, S. C., March 81, 890. Mr. M. J. Pate, Barnwell, S. C. Dear Bro.: Your letter of 20th iontaining dipping, "Tho Alliance ind its aims," and resolutions in cfcrcncc to the same by thc Bam >erg Alliance, was received during ny absence from homo last week. Perhaps I can best answer your otter by stating as briefly as possi )lc what I conceive to bo thc relations >f thc Alliance to politics. Thc first declaration of intentions ll our constitution says : "To labor or tho education of thc agricultural ?lasses in thc science of economical government, in a strictly non-parti an spirit." This declaration is full of suggest vc thoughts. The first thought uggested is that these classes nocd 0 bc educated in thc science of ?conomicul government. This leads naturally to thc inquiry, have those dusses been careless about this kind >f education, and if so, has this ;arclcssness made them tho victims )f vicious legislation, legislation that s unequal ant) ?v^T.essivo'to these .lassos "[ nc Alliance assumes (and wc think correctly) that such has been thc case. Tariff protection might bo cited as an illustration of this kind of un equal and oppressive legislation. Ami it may bc well to remark here, that tariff protection is moro dis tinctively a party issue (as between tho two great political parties in this country) than any other. Tariff protection taxes tho agricultural classes--Ibo largest consuming classes of manufactured products to build up and enrich thc great man ufacturing industries of this country. Thc Republican party favors the protective policy. The Democratic party opposes it. The Alliance bids its membership to free themselves from partisan prejudices-thc great party blind-and to examine this question in thc light of reason and right and then to do what would bc for "thc greatest good to thc great est number. Then if wc take up thc financial or money question, which is moro a class than a party question-neither of thc great political parties having looked after thc interests of thc ag ricultural classes in thc financial leg islation for the country since 18(55. In proof of this wc might cite the extraordinary privileges granted to the national banks, the discrimination against the farmers' securities in the establishment of these banks, thc demonetization of silver, thc reduc tion of thc volume of currency by tho retirement, of United States bonds and the cancelling of national bank notes, and in short, thc estab lishment and maintenance of a finan cial policy that is surely reducing thc great middle class to a condition of dependence and want. This poli cy, if long continued, will make a strong centralized government a ne cessity to protect thc rich and hold thc poor in subjection. As remarked, this is more a class than a party question, but partisanship has been thc blind that has blinded ibo farm ing elasses to the great wrong that has been inflicted upon them. Of course if all the great farming classes of this country could have freed themselves from party and sectional prejudices, and if they had been ed ucated in the science of political economy, they would have stood together and these wrongs could not have come upon them. In the above brief allusions to the necessity of educating the agricultu ral classes, I have trenched on thc second important suggestion, viz : thc spirit in which it is to be done "in a strictly non partisan spirit." That party zeal hinders or prevents investigation is too patent to require demonstration. 'Phis might he illus trated by a case in our own State and in your (Barnwell) county. I noticed quite recently that an honored and distinguished Carolinian, a citizen of your county and one of thc most distinguished fanners in thc Slate, was reported to have said : "I am a Democrat first, second a farmer." By which I understood him to mean that bi? love and allegiance to thc Democratic party was such that he held it to bc wrong to discuss State policy inside of thc Democratic party for fear of endangering Democratic supremacy in thc State. I am sure that my distinguished friend hold, as 1 hold, thal there is nothing dishonest in thc administration of our State Government. This being admitted on all sides, where could be the dan ger of the proposed discussion of State policy-Inside thc Democratic party ? Surely there could bo no danger {rom euell discussion if it bo conducted in a non-partisan, non factious way, and Allianco mombers will engage in such discussions in no ot'uor spirit. But tho State Alliance bas made no legislative demands and as an or ganisation aro not called upon to poss ou tho domauds put forth by tho "Formors' Association." The Allianco docs not interfere with the political or religious prefer ences of its mcmbors. It is Demo cratic-majority rulo of tho member ship. Legislativo demands formula ted by the Stato Allianco would bo submitted to tho Sub-Alliances for ratification. Whoa ratified it would become a Stato Allianco demand, and the membership would vote for no man who was not pledged to work foi tts legal enactment. Tho Alliance makes no war on any political party. When it wants legislation it don't ask thc candidate if ho is a Democrat, Republican, Whig, Know-Nothing or a Grcen buokor; it simply takes a pledge that ho will, if oleoted, work to secure the enactment of its measures, and lets him take his chances. The word "labor" in tho declara tion whioh wo havo been examining means effort at performance-it moans there are to bo no drones in the Allianco hive wllito this educa tional work is needed. Now a word in reference to tho article from tho Barnwell People and I close, and let mo say that I seo nothing in it to condemn. Your solicitude lest thc Alliance ship should bo wrecked in tho stormy sea of politics was no doubt shared by thousands of as good Alliance mon as there are in thc State. Your fear that tho Allianco might become clannish and refuse to vote for any save members of tho Order will, I think, provo unfounded. Thc Alli anco method leaves each member free to vote for thc candidate of his choice, provided he is right on meas ures, and education in thc science of political economy is relied on to so curo unity in support of measures, and it must bc kept in mind that thc Stato Alliance has submitted no de mands, consequently each member will determine for himself bis duty as to men and measures. 1 said duty; yes, that is thc word-duty - it carries the idea of relieving poli ties of sentiment and looks to thc securing of economy and efficiency Ul government. There is another idea in tho arti cle from the Harnwell People which tho Alliance Brotherhood should never forget : Tho dangei; of load ing the Alliance ship with Self-seek ers, who look to their own advance ment from their connection with our Order. Oflieo-sockersi^lumh;^ ^hiVTTbaWWm?g^^ enter tho Alliance. Alliance Associations will better qualify vis to select wisely our servants to fill the offices. Referring to the action of thc Hamberg Brethren, I think they mis construed the p irposc of the article in thc Barnwell People. It only warned against apparent danger they construed it s an attack on thc "Farmers' Movement." In conclusion, it may not be im proper for me to suggest to members of our order that in thc discussion of the questions of State policy, as citizens-not as an organization that they take into tho discussion that broad charity which "construes words and deeds in their most favor able light, granting honesty of pur pose and good intentions to others."
