Mr. Vernor was escorted to th< President's stand and introduced bj thc President. Mr*. Vernor spoke al some lengtl on thc political situation throughou the country as well as in South Caro lina. Ile explained how, by tho for tunes of war, thc New Knglniu States hud been enabled lo saddh their form of government upon Scull Carolina in common with thc otho Southern Stales. This system ha? reversed thc nntc-bolluni idea o government, which was, that ead and every citizen owed a part 0 his limo and i: '?<??' to thc State, frc of charge. Nov, all services of public character have to bo paid foi from tho building of plank bridge across u branch to work on thc Stat Mouse, and for all official scrj^f-fj from constable to Q<?)ifii?lffjr.' Consi (picijUv.w.ar^rtuTTho Stale spendin over $"700,000 annually in govert mental expenses, und tho count governments costing thc people ovi *1,-100,000. Hence, true and Instill reform cnn ho accomplished only h a change <d' our Slate Coiistitlllioi Our form of go vorn mont must I remodeled before the burdens < taxation will ever be materially ri duced. S<> long as our constitutif remains as at present, a chance < olliccrs can do bul little to rollos tlu1 burdons of the people ] addressing himself to thc preset political condition of our State au thc campaign, which is now near ii its end, ho expressed forcibly nil clearly his position throughout th exciting episode in our Statt; politic I laving bad a personal insight in' the affairs of our State during h term of ollicc as Comptroller Gun ral, ho knew whore thc ?.<<<?.h money had gone, and bc knew th every cent bad hoon paul out just ? the Legislature hy law bad audio i/.ed 'ind directed. Not a cent h: been stolen or misappropriate During this year bc had visited eve: county in thc State, and in accor ance with a recent Act of thc Lo islatut'C bc had examined thc bool ol' the County Commissioners ai County Treasurers, and compart voucher with voucher, finding th every county in thc State had i affairs honestly administered und thc law MS it is, except it bc tl county of lleaufort, which has tv negroes foi" County Coinmissionc and a Radical Clerk of thc Hoar So that bc knew there was mi frai or corruption in our Stale or conn governments, with the above exec lion. Therefore bc could not endor i all thc extravagant expressions as fraud and corruption in our Stn government. Ile knew there w "nothing rotten in Denmark," so f as bc had hoon able to learn. I course there was more or less oxtt yaganoo, for the government w human. lu this campaign he h endeavored to take a conservati course, one which would conduce tlic highest and best interests of t party and thc State. He knew tin were extremists oil both sides, 1 he had stinted out willi thc deten nation of preserving ami porpotlli ing thc unity and supremacy of t Democratic party. Ho had ma taincd that course from tho beg ?:;.?#. Ho was in favor of most tho reforms demanded in tho pl form of tho darch Convention, a with the faro .tr? of the State in honest and honorable efforts bring about reforms which wi needed. Dut ho could not endo all tho wild accusations against I administration of thc affairs of < State; Knowing tho situation ns ho did, Ive folt that he would loso his own solf-rospect by so doing, and ho proposed to stand or fall by tho posi- j Hon he had taken all along. He felt that his manhood would be sacri ficed by any othor course, and ho proposed to como out of this cam paign with tho conviction that ho lind dono nothing tending to tho disruption of the party, while giving expression to his honest convictions on tho vexed questions of tho day. Ho had tried to tako such a high and conservativo position that horoaftcr in looking baek upon it, no dishonor would bo reflected either upon himself or the people he had been proud to represent. At tho conclusion, Mr. R. T. Jay nos offered the following pream ble nod resolution, and moved thoir adoption : Whereas, we, tho Democracy of Oconce, in convention assembled, do recognize tho faithful, efficient and honorable discharge of official duties by the Hon. John S. Vernor, as Comptroller General of South Caro lina, for the past th reo yoars, his administration thereof having care fully conserved thc best interest of tho State and thc people, having over given to tho discharge of tho duties of tho office his personal and diligent supervision; therefore be it Jiesol'jcdy That we do heartily endorse tho administration of Hon. J. S. Vernor, as Comptroller General, and recommend him for nomination by tho approaching September Stato Convention for re-election as Comp troller General of this Stato for thc ensuing two yoars. Mr. T. D. Alexander moved to lay tho motion on tho table. Mr. Jayncs requested that tho motion to table be withdrawn for thc purpose of discussion. Thc request was refused and thc motion to table was adopted. It won1'1, bo proper to state that it was reasonably to bo presumed that the above resolution would be killed, but it was tho desire of Mr. Vernor to have; the convention make a deli verance either for or against him, and it was for this purpose that tho resolution was offered. There being no further business, thc convention adjourned. George Johnstone for Congress. After ono of Gio hardest, fought, politi cal hat t ies in tho hinJjfifTjj South Caro lhia^fW^v^^ n CongrosB, O'1- George jl?l?KTt??oiu> has boon nominator. hy tho voico of tho people as expressed'11 tb? Democratic primary, to represent 'his, tho Third District, in tho fifty-second Coi: gross. The total number of -.otes cast in the second primary was 11,080 as compared with ll,OM votes cast in tho Hist. In the last Johnstone received 5,f>51, whilo Nor ris received 5,520, making Johlistono's majority 22, which was remarkably close for such ii largo vote. The result, was doubtless a surprise to Col. Norris and his supporters, but the friends of Col. Johnstone have benn quite confident of his oleetiou over since the first primary. The large vote cast for Col. Norris was tho highest compliment that e.mid have been paid to him, and it. is a matt er of congratulat ion that he was so manfully supported to thc last. A protest of tho election was talked of, hut. on Tuesday, nt the mooting of the Congressional Kxocutivo Committee, af ter a careful examination of the alleged irregularities by Col. Norris, he, of his own motton, withdrew all allegations of irregularity and left the Hoard of Can vassers free to declare Col. Johnstone the duly elected nominee of the D?mo cratie party for Congress. This conduct tho part of Col. Norris was both patriotic and commendable, and was received with hearty approbation hy his friends as well as those of Col. John stone. Col. Johnstone has made a manly and honorable tight in tho strugglo just| ended, and has well earned tho honor con forr od upon him by tho voters of tho j Third District. Ile is an able lawyer, ready speaker, and loyal Democrat. Ile has had experience as a legislator, having ninda at one time a capable and influen tial member of the Stato Legislature; so that it is reasonable to suppose ho will make both for himself and South Caro lina an enviable reputation in thc halls of Congress. Hut tho last ditch is still to he crossed, and a Republican, probably Walker Kus sel), will yet contest tho scat in Congress with Col. Johnstone in the approaching general election. In this event, it will he tho duty of every t rue ami loyal Demo crat to do all in his power to secure the victory of tho Democracy and the olee lion of (Joh Johnstone. Congressional Election. The official count of votes cast in the second Congressional primary gives the following tot als : Johnstone. Norris. Oconee " 707 " 1,010 j Abbeville " 1,721 " 051 Anderson " 1,420 " 1,800 !

The health of this town and sur rounding country seems to be very good. Our business men scorn to bc do ing well and hoping to do bettor in the ?>arly future.

Tho News and Courier, Soptoui her 1> has an interesting re?umo of Charleston's business during the past yoar. The annual roview shows ? season of groat prosperity. Edito rially our cotomporary says : "Thc total business of Charleston during the commercial year whioh closed on Saturday amounted to moro than $80,000,000, an inoroaso of $8,006,203 on tho business ot tho prooeding yoar. There was a do oroaso in tho value of tho cotton marketed in Charleston of nearly $8,000,000, a decrease in tho value of tho fruit and vogetablo trado of $98,000 and a falling off in other minor branches of business; but tho grand total shows that tho trado of tho oity during the past year was nonrly $4,000,000 moro than in 1888 89. Tho falling off of our cotton trado was far moro than counterbalanced by thu increase iu other lines of bnsi iiosB and the not result is most en couraging to ajl who havo an inter est in tho welfaro of tho city. Thore was an in?rense in tho wholesale ana rotail trado of $740,000; an inoreaso in tho capital invested in manufac tures of $2,051,600; an increase in tho valuo of our manufactured pro ducts of $1,788,379. The valuo of tho rico trado was inoroasod $870, 125; thoro was'an inoreaso in tho nonnl nfAwta *?'-'1n ?our, 070. .... . . ??' . incienso 111 yio valuo of tho cotton goods trad? of $290,015; an inoreaso of $30,763, Mu tho valuo of our im ports, aird a gain in ?nany of tho smaller (branches of business, tho wholo gain footing up a grand total of nearly four million dollars. Surely thoro is encouragement in this result. "Tho railroads during tho pnst year havo dono a most thriving busi ness. The builders and contractors have boon steadily at work-nonrly a quarter of a million dollars having been spent in now buildings and re pairs. Thc Building and Loan Asso ciations are all in successful opera tion, and the inoroaso of $1,481,000 in the banks shows that the pros Lperity has boen general. "In nearly all branches of business them is the samo story of progress and prosperity. Tho city's finances arc in oxcollent condition. The health of thc community was never better. The streets never presented a more attractive appearance. Tho water supply is sufficient to meet all the demands for public and privato consumption. Tho truck farmers nre nourishing. The arrivals and <lc partures of vessels have increased. On every side thero aro evidences of growth .md prosperity. "The story of tho past year's do ings is a largo one, but it is well told and it shows undoubtedly that thero is no pince like Charleston." In Honor of Johnstone. Newberry gav^p&?. ftn ovation to Col. George JohnstoiuTtKsv??ii?^ day night over his nomination for Congress. Thc correspondent of tho Charleston World thus describes thc occasion : "Newberry is glorious. "The citizens of prosperity and vicinity ohartored a special train and came up to-night to participate in Col. .Tohnstono's rcoeption and the grand jubilee of his friends. No thing has boen witnessed in Newberry since '70 that comparos with the de monstration of to-night. The city is perfectly wild. Her streets aro crowded with citizens from all parts of Newberry county. Col. John stone held a reception in his office this afternoon. Telegrams of con I gravitations have been pouring in ever since 6 o'clock from every sec tion of thc District and State. Du ring Col. Johnstone's speech on tho Court House stops to-night, a lovely bouquet of flowers wore presented to him by tho ladies of Prosperity, whereupon three cheers were given to thoso Indies. Speeches were also made by Gen. Y. J. Pope, Solicitor O. Ii. Schumpert, Col. W. H. Hunt, Jr., (too. li. Cromer and others. The citizens paraded thc most prominent streets of the city with torches and transparencies. Among the most prominent transparencies wore "George Johnstone is our choice,' "Victory," "1830-George John stone-1890." The explanation of the latter is that in that year New berry was last honored by having a Congressman elected from her midst. At 10 o'clock the paraders escorted tho Prosperity delegation to thc de pot, where, with three cheers for Ne wherry's honored son, they stenmcd out of tho depot for thc City of Prosperity. . The UopubHcans dofeated ballot reform in West Virginia and Mnino; antagonized it in Pennsylvania, and have suffered defeat from it in almost every caso where it has been tried. The Republican Stato committee of Maryland is fighting tho ballot re form law of that Stato on the ground of unconstitutionality. A ballot system that represses the corrupt mid the illiterate vote is fatal to tho Republican party and tho party I st niggles against it for existence. When Mr. Barnum's circus re turned noross tho Atlantic it was noted that tho only animals that, showed ?oa-bioknes? wore ibo mon keys. Those rolled around, groaned, and noted very like human beings in the distress whioh they exhibited. A few who wero exempt from sick ness showed their likeness to human beings in a moro unamiablo manner, poking fun at tho distress of their afHiotod associates and follow-pns sengcrs.
