The whole* State recognltes the rac that in 1876 he,w^rbed gallantly f.y-tho redemp tion of the Sta/e.'and that Kdgcflehl County wn* potential factor in securing the election of the r J* jlemocratic ticket. But every' othcy Dcinocrai did bis duty, and without the bo-operation of all., each in his vray, failure would h ..... V resulted. Ilorao had her Kahilis'and Iter MatCollus, her shield ami her spear. So in 187.0, in vttr own State, the b'abian nml the Marcelliaa policj wcro alike essential. To ascribo all the glory of that great achievement to one man is hut to antagonize every one else, ami to go a long way in preventing him from obtaining what is really his due. As for the nomination of Tilden for President, wo regard it 110 more probable than the selection of Thttrman. The AVtr.t mot Herald defended Mr. Tilden front what it helieved to he unjust attacks, and was willing to advocate his nomination if lie carried New York Tor iioliinson. Tho last election in that Slate, if it menus anything it means that Tilden is not the man. Wc do not sco why I ho Sale parly are advocating this National and State ticket.? Mayor Sale has stretched to its utmost limit the ' (lampion policy," which has been utterly repudiate 1 by General Clary, while General Gary and Mr. Tihlcn !i?v? ?/> !.f,,(f ;n r>nmm?n ,t ' character nud in policy >n?y arc as wide opart as the poles. t Wo take no stock in the talk about rings an 1 m' cliques and packed conventions.

The President staled t he object of t he meet inp was to consider an invitation from the South Carolina Agricultural Society to nltcn<l their fair ii; Charleston in liecemhcr, ami to n|>|ioint an orator to represent the press on that occasion. On inotio.i of Mr. T. ! ' t'Srenckcr, of the Newhcrry /hr.thl, the invitation was accepted ; an I on motion of Mr. A. S.

For this purpose he has secured the services of Capt.

All the aid that can tic given to fiipl. Carson in this connection will tend to enable Itiin lo lay such facts before lien. Hilliuorc as will show the advantages of opening this-river to navigation.

D., of Atlanta, was elected a Dircctor^u place of Itev. John Douglass, deceased. A communication was received from Hev. Dr. Plumer, declining to visit the churches iu beliaif of'thc Scmiuarv. not beintr able to travel on a? count of his nge and increasing infirmities. 1 it is hope?f that some of the A Jger fund, about two-thirds of it, will he saved. The deficiency in the income is still somewhere between c-dTO and S-Jdf) per month, and the directors will have to close the Seminary after this term, which ends in ,\?ny next, unless the churches come to their assistance and contribute the funds necessary to carry it on and pay all'an already existing debt of 5? 1,000. The directors are determined not to use any ol the endowment for current expenses, feeling that as trustees they are bound not to do so. We trust that the appeal for aid i^ behalf of this institution will be promptly and liberally responded to. Our people, who are so ready to contribute to charitable purposes, will remember that this is a cause which is the very foundation and cornerstone of all charities. Not only all Presbyterians, but all t iiristiuns and ail persons who wish well to the community and to the Stale at large, will regret to see the exercises of the Seminary discontinued. (.'?/.
