Edgefield Court House, July 17.?
The picnic wbioh was given at Stonelauds
to-day in honor of 8cnator M. C. Butler
was attended by * crowd which oxeefldpd
alouo was sufficient to. command the presence
of a large crowd. The sccno of the
celebration was Stonclands, the former residence
of his unci;, Senator A. P. Butler,
aud upou our arrival at this place, which is
four miles from the Court House, we found
a large crowd already assembled, which
coutiuucd to iucrcnsc up to the latest hour.
A stuud had bccu erected uadcr the trees,
ana at 43 o ciock tnc meeting was called to
order by Mr. J. C. Sheppard. Tbis genileniau
made a happy and glowing address,
ending by presenting Senator Butler to the
audicnco.
SENATOR BUTLER'S SPEECII.
Senator Butler came forward, and after
a few pleasant remarks, by way of introduction,
be said: If there is anything
which could inspire mo to speak in terms
of sober mirth and give utterance to tho
impulses of my heart, it is this place and
tbis occasion. In almost every countenance
before mo, aud in the very flutterings of
these forest leaves, the associations of my
boyhoodr come back to cluster and gather
thickly around me. It is something, my
friends, to cxcito tbe pride aud gratification
of aoy heart that, afkor the lapse of n^ore'
thau twenty years, I should return hero to
scenes L ouce knew so familiarly as a boy to
speak to many of the old associates of my
childhood. This pleasure, however, is not
uumixed with mclaucholy reflections aud
fceliugs; many of thoso who lived here
then are now noinore and no more forever.
They were men who leved their
country lor their country's sake, aud who
were devoted to her best interests. Duty
impelled them to discharge their duty to
their country, and they loved that duty
more than life itself. And whata race of
people they were! Can it be expected
that I, who learned to love the constitution
of my conutry under the shadow of
this same forest, by the side ot this same
stream and trader the rays of this same sun,
that I should return here without feolings
of profoundcat gratitude and pleasure??
Upon the hill in our rear lived "Squire"
Daniel Holland, as he was familiarly called;
upon that one lived Bland, and upon these
others livod George A. Addison, Senator
A. P. Butler aud Governor Pickens.?
What au array of honest and houorablc
men and truo patriots they were ! Hero
are the semes which knew them familiarly
and long. I know them as a boy. Many
of their descendants are now within the
sound of my vdicc. Some of their contompories
are still alive with the frosts of
many winters upon their heads. What.
would wo not have given in the dark days
through whioh we have just come for ouo
hour's counsel of those men. But they
have passed away. They were good and
honest aud true uicu in their day, but they
have passed away forever.
THE ISSUES OK TI1E IIOUIl.
Let me tell you, uiy friends, what has not
passed away. Tho very same issues that
confronted them arc now confronting us,
aud the qucstiou for tho future is, will wc
be worthy sons of such worthy sires anil
maintain the constitution of this country
pure and civil? That is the question and
t hat the issue of to-day- It is a very convcrneu^
and L regret to suy it is a too common
place remark in thh country, that the
only issue now before us is one of honesty
and one of race against race. That is not
true.' It is belittling the question to say
that it is only one of raco agaiust race.?
The issue is just as great now as seventyfive
years ago between constutioual liberty
and republican institutions on the one
.hand, and centralized despotism on the
other. It makes but little dilFereuce who
A'Otes at primaries or who have representation.
The great issuo is above and superior
?to all that; it is ouo of the rights of the
.States, and through the States of the people?of
constitutional liberty as opposed to
.11 centralized despotism.
THE GREAT OI'I'OSING FOItCES.
There arc two great forces at work in
the country to-day, and they arc moving on
parallel lines. Tito one is represented by
Radicalism, and is moving, as surely as the
needle turn, tc the pole, towards the estab.
lishmont of a centralized depot ism. Tho
party which is committed to this work is
the same that has been successively kuowti
as the Federal, Froosoil, Abolition, KuowNotliing
and Republican parlies, and is now
known as tho Radical party. Confronting
it, on the other line, is tho old Democratic
pariy, which, seventy-live years ago, had
the same fight to make which wc arc making
to-4aj.
I know how common it is for people to
- mb iA-MaggHapfegggwr? n ? Beag??ggr-g
say there is very little differenco between
the Radiealand Democratic parties. But I
tell you that, if I have loarned anything*
during my stay as a senator in Washington,
it is that there is the greatest difference,
and that the Radical factions have administered
this Government with about as much
regard to the rights, feelings and interests
of the pcoplo of America as for the people
of the Sandwich Islands. They have not
cared or thought about the people. Tho
whole Governuieut has be-.n conducted by
them in the interests of rings and monopolies,
and 1 could provo it if I had the time."
What is tho result? What do we catch
upon every brecse that now comes from
tho^rth? Rumors of oommypUm,riots,
' wwmf fufflfM les, adit ruction or property.
Why is it so ? It is bccauso the Radical
factions have been keeping this element
quiet by holding us by the throat and making
the condition of the South the pretext
for their uetions aud continuance iu power,
and whou that deadly grasp was torn loose
iroui our throat nod tbc common people
discovorcd at last that the government had
been conducted iu the interest of rings
only, and without regard to the people, the
result was the organization of those various
unions all over the Country. I have myself
eceu letters to scuators from Northern men
of intelligence and of comparatively respectability
saying iu the words of the writers,
" IFc if i11 have bread or blood." But wheu
they clamored for bread they gave them
lead, and wheu they asked for labor they
gave them the bayonet.
THIS "GOD AND MORALITY" TARTY
that had such a profound affection for thecolored
people?these men shot dowu their
own people becauso they were simply assert^
ing their manhood und their rights as
Auioricatt citizens. Their blood curdled
wheu they heard of a riot in the South, but
when they shot do vn their own people for
demanding their rights not one word is
heard of commiseration for them ! That is
of n piece with the entire conduct of this
Radical regime. God knows wo have seen
uud felt it. What did they care for the '
poor colored man, or the poor white mau,
so long as the government made their
favorites rich; and that is the issue we
have got to moot to day. There is no use
attempting to disguise it. ,cr
NOT OUT OP DANGBR Ylfr,
And we in South Carolina are pot out of
danger yet. It is a great mistake to suppose
that this colossal monster is dead ; he
is ouly hiding his tium, and in order to
overcome him what have wo to do'( In the
first place we must assert our manhood under
the platform of 1876, aud we must
move forwaji upon that platform without
trampling on the rights or the manhood of
any one clso. It has got to be the fashion
for some politicians to turn pale in the face
aud to go off and hide their heads if you
but use the word "white" in any connection,
aud especially if you say this is
A WHITE MAN's GOVERNMENT.
Well, theoretically, it is not a white.
man's government. This is a couutry
where men may come from all climates and
quarters, and have the protection of the
law. But practically, as a matter of fact,
it is a white man's government. The assertion
does not involve the idea that I
mean to oppress anybody else. Who else
has any voiee in this Government ? Go to
the North, and do you find anybody thero
in control but white people?any representatives
but white men? Not one ! When 1
charged a ltadical representative with this
fact on a recent occasion, he acknowledged
it and said, ''Oh ! but the colored people
arc in the majority in the South !" I auswered
that it was very much less tolerable
for biui to ex.lude the negro from representation,
because at the North he is more
intelligent, and being in the minority could
not do the harm his ignorant fellows could
do and have done here. The fact of his
exclusion from representation there shows
conclusively how hollow and contemptible
is all their twaddle about him.
A I'll ACTIO A L VIEW OF IT.
Let us look at the matter in a practical
light. Did not these people try to govern
this country for ten years ? Where did
they run it to and to what a condition did
they reduce it? To absoluto disgrace, humiliation
and contempt. Now that we have
got control of the government, it is no
longer a question of honesty, because the
administration is honest. It is no longer a
question 01 race lor all races are represented
and protected alike. I would tell llieso
people to-day : "You ha*5 tried to govern
this country for ten years and have proved
your utter incapacity for doing so, now
stand aside and let us try it for ten years,
wc cau do it better than you; and if we
fail to do so, then turn us out!"
MIXED TICKETS.
I do not intend to say a good many
thiDgs I would like to say, but there is one
thing I do want to say before I leave you.
It has been reported, with how much truth
I do not know, that a proposition has been
made to run "mixed tickets" in some of
the counties of this Stato. I desire to enter
my solemn protest against such a proposition.
I think the Democratic party is able
to govern this country without the interjec*
tiou of Judical help. The very suggestion
is a confession that the Democratic party
cau not goveru thwu^nlfy successfully.
It has abo been said that We gave our assent
to this doctrine in "18f0? but that is
not true. We were then on the outside and
trying to improve the goveruaiert by introducing
a better element into it. Tt)e whole
matter is reversed now; the govern j.ent
bus passed inte competent and honorable
hands, and shall we.be expected to deterio
a - l ? .. * -
rate it oy admitting tne very some corrupt
element we fought then ? And, moreover,
how were we met then when we advanced
this same proposition ? The Kepublicann
party turned the hacks of its hands to us,
and now that we are in power L propose to
turu tho baCks of OWfetotudsio v l.heui I? .
That is the whole it ia-jturtfc"4
that we ought to be magnanimous and geuerous.
These are noble traits of character
in any man or party, and I trust I may
never bo heard raising my voice against
their proper exercise ; hut let us be careful
that wo don't mistake magnanimity and
generosity for a silly and pernicious seotimeutalism.
They are different things.?
Ouararoes for the ^domain of poe6y, but in
the practical affairs of the law and iu anything
so iutcuscly practical as politics it will
not do. Do uot let us dogencrato these
high and noble qualities iuto a pulling scntimentalism.
THE POLITICAL MILLENNIUM.
It has been said that the political millcuiuni
is not far off, that the Republican
party is uot going to run an opposition
ticket to tho Stato ticket. I hfepe tjbat tho
State ticket will not suffer itself to be misled
iuto a position of false security by any
such siren illusions, promises or songs.?
They may indeed paralyze the strength of'
the ticket by promising to run nothiog
against it, but While the ticket is iu a state
of supposed security this euuuing monster
will run in candidates enough to get control
of our Legislature, and we cannot afford to
lose sight of this danger.
APPREHENSIONS OP PIVISION.
I learned since I came here that there
arc great apprehensions that wc will have
serious divisions amoug ourselves ou accouut
of tho number of candidates who have
como forward, but the practical good sense
ot the people of Edgefield will not permit
suob a result. As to the number of candidates
being a proof of division, I hail it
rather as a>aign. of raturpiciji inter"? Tinf
public affairs. All who have been nominated
up to this time arc honorable men, and
1 know they will abide the voice of the
people; and woe to the man who docs not!
I say to you let suoh an one be os\racised
and thenceforth consigned to political oblivion,
and lot him be flayed alivo by the.
voice of public opinion ! [Cheers.]
IIIS WORK IN WASHINGTON.
I want to say one thing more in conclusion.
Some of my friends want to know
what I have been doing in Washington.?
One of the first things I had trt do was to secure
my scat in Congicss, and I believe I
have accomplished that. * * * Another
thing I have done was to secure the opening
of the uew postoffices and needed ?p,.
propriations. Another thing'was to satisfy
those people that they were 4>ownd to recognizo
South Carolina as an independent sovereign
State. How far I havo succeeded
in this matter I cannot say, b&t I think X
can promise that before I havo concluded
my term there they ahull know that there
is such a spot of earth as the State of South
Carolina.

11 u.st in Wheat.?Editor Southern
Cultivator.?I have just tested a German
recipe for rust in wheat, and found it a sure
remedy. My wheat this year had rust
badly, but \ prepared aud sowed oue peck
on twodands across a lot; and the haads,
when they came to it lcmairtced to lae, "this
wheat is clear of rust," without any knowledge
of the test. Ou either side, the wheat
was badly uffcoted with scab rust. The German
agriculturist had used this remedy for
3b years, and his neighbors had rust iu
fields adjoining his, whilst there was not a
head of rust on his. His habit was also to
tako the sheaves and boat oil the rinost
kernels with a stick, and uso the grain thus
obtained for seed. I will now give the
recipe : Some hours?at the longest; six
or eight?before sowing, prepare a steep of
three measures df quick liuie and tcn^uarasures
of cattle urine, pour two quarts of
this upon a peok of wheat aud stir wfth"#spado
until every kernel Is covorcd with it.
Jly using this, rust of every kind will be
avoided. 4 1). COOPElt.

[ of the Sute Democratic Executive Committee,
called the State Democratic Convention to order,
and nominated Col. J. S. Cotbran as temporary
chairman of tho Convention.
Col Cothraji wna unanimously elected, and
in taking tbc chair addressed the Cenvcntiou as
follows :
\iiuiy uiu 10 inank jou, gentlemen or the
Couvontiou, for this unexpected honor in calling
upon we to assist in the organization of this important
and responsible body. I shall uot venture
in this position to impress upon yourmindn
any peculiar ideas of my own as to the plans
and .policies or purposes of the Democracy
in the campaign about U> begin. That banner
which was furled in victory nearly two year ago
is about to bo thrown to tbe breezo again. Dy
common consent it will bo doubtless submiHsd
again to the same wise, prudent and faithAri
hands which boro it to victory before. (GMit
applause.]
Amongst all her devoted sons, and Houth Carolina
has many, who clung to her through a decode
ot adversity, none have been found, in the
judgment of a grateful people, more faithful aud
more devoted to a cause than these have been.
[Applause.] ?
I congratulate you, gentlemen ot ths Qonven'
tion, upon the changed condition of affairs
which appears so conspicuous as compared with
tjiose of two years ago. Your political adversaries
then were thoroughly organized aqd (irmly
seated in power, rejoicing as a strong manabout
! run a race, and now they arc disorganized,
disheartened and dispersed. 14 must not
be, however, forgotten that the battle of life \s
nevqr endod, and ths army which appeared before
yeu yesterday vanquished may renew the
strugglo to-morrow. Often in the sense of security
thero may lurk the greatest danger.?'
Wherefore, in the name of the victories you
have achieved, in the hope of those that are to
be achieved, and in the name of a redeemed,
regenerate and grateful people ; in the name of
civilisation and decency, ayd in the name of an
enlarged, unselfish interest, let mc hope thai no
spirit of bitterness shall spring up amongst us,
"and that the success of the past may bo considered
HI (HQ ll&tbinger of the future" ?
After prayer by the Rev. Wm. Martin, Messrs.
D. 8. Henderson and T. C. Gaston were elected
temporary secretaries.
The temporary organization of the Convention
being completed, Hon. Geo. D. Tilman offered
the following, which was adopted :
Rttolved, In all ejections by the Convention a
majority of the votes cast shall be necessary to a
vuvice, >uu me vote snail do taken viva voce and
recorded, except when there is but one candidate,
in which event the vote may be taken by
acclamation.
Col. J. A. Law, of Darlington, then nominated
Oen. J. D. Kennedy as permanent preeident of 1
the Convention, aujl, as there were no other'
nominations, he was unanimously elected by acclamation.
On mef'on of J. C. Sheppard, Esq., Gen. Kennedy
pas escorted to the chair by a committee
Gentleman of the Convention : I thank you
for the honor you have conferred by electing me
your presiding officer, and will endeavor to discharge
its duties impartially and to the best of
my ability.
You are tho representative body of the Democratic
party of South Carolina, and as such are
asoemhled for the first time since onr grand and
triumphant victory on the 7th of November, 1876.
On the 15th of this raopth two years will have
passed since your last assemblage, and the contrast
between our contrition now and then should
endorsed and aided by u powerful ally at Washington,
backed by the purse ami sword of the
General Government ; with an exciting Presidential
.election to complicate the situation;
with heroic resolution you laid down a broad,
liberal and wise platform, and with Wade I lampton
as yjur standard-bearer carried everything
before you. It was a long, perplexing uiui
stormy campaign, taxing to llic utmost the p^
tieuce and patriotism of our people, and even
after the election weeks of weary watchiug and
stern self-control elapsed before we entered into
possession of the goverppient of the Htate. It
was a victory achieved by the irresistible morale
of our attitude, and it is a subject of profound
congratulation that wo retain the hold then acquired
over the good people of Carolina of all
classes and conditions. Peace reigns supreme.
justice is administered to all alike, taxes are reduced
and honesty, economy and competency
characterize our olhcials. Such, geutlcinen, is
our condition, and it behooves us to rise to the
fullest measure of our responsibility us a party
and take no step backward, hut lay still deeper
the foundations of perpetual good will and enduring
prosperity. Wc are the custodians of
| the interest of the people of this State and will
bo held accountable for its welfare.
I know X address men who neither lightly es'
teem nor will recklessly jeopardise this exalted
position. Political wisdom is the outgrowth of
political experience, and our experience in the
last campaign sheuld qualify us all the better to
grapple and dispose of the complications arising
from the anomalous and diverse relations
whieh exist in our midst. Let uvAcontinue true
to our plntforto and I feel nssnrcd that with
energy, unity and good faith we will win this
campaign still more triumphantly. I invoke
the utmost concord in your deliberations and
tho blessings of God on your actiofts.
