potential factor in securing tho election of tho n
democratic ticket. But every' othcy Democrat
did his duty, and without the Do operation of all.,
each in Sis way, failure would hnvc inevitably
resulted. Home had her Fabius'and her Marcellus,
her shield and her spear. So in 1870, in
our own State, the b'nbian ntid the Marccllian
policy wero alike essential. To oscribo all the
glory of that great achievement to ono man is
hut to antagonize every one else, and to go a long
way in preventing him from obtaining what is
realty his due. As for tho noniiuatiou of Tildcti
for I'rcsident, wo regard it no more probable
than the selection of Thurtnnn. The New* and
Herald defended Mr. Tihlen from what it believed
to be unjust attacks, and was willing to
advocate his nomination if lie carried New York
lor liobinson. Tho last election in that Slate,
if it menus anything it means that Tihlen is not
the man. Wc do not see why the Sale parly are
advocating this National and State ticket.?

M Kv.TiNrt <ik riiK Stati: Pntvs Association.? I
Columbia, S. C., November 14, 1870.?Pursuant
to tlic call of the President, the 8011th Carolina
State Press Association met to day in the
oilico of the Columbia Kcyister, with President
T. U. Crews, of 1 lie I.nnrcnsvillc Herald, in the
chair. The President stated t lie object of the meeting
was to consider nil invitation from the South
Carolina Agricultural Society to attend their fair
in Charleston in l>ccctnbcr, and to appoint an
orator to represent the press 011 that occasion.
On motion of Mr. T. V (drencher, of the Newberry
Herald, the invitation was accepted ; and
on motion of Mr. A. S. Todd, of the Anderson
Journal, a committee of five, consisting of President
Crews, chairman, Col. John W. II. Pope,
Col. T. Stoho Farrow, Major C. Irvine Walker
and Mr. T. F. Grcnckcr, was appointed to make
all necessary arrangement and to act in concert
with a similar committee on the pnrt of the Agricultural
ciety.
On motion, Col. John W. It. Hope, of the Columbia
llryi.itcr, was unanimously elected by acclamaticn
as the orator to represent the Press
Associa ion ttnJcr the invitation.
nni - /? 11 ; ? '
i iiu luuowmg nauicii gentlemen were proposed
and unanimously elected members of the association:
Col. K, C. Walls, of tlie Miureusville Herald,
Cnpt. T, II. Clarke, of the Camden Journal, ami
C. A. Calvo, Jr., of tlie Columbia Register.
A suggestion by Mr. Todil tlint a committee
should be appointed to make all necessary arrangements
for the annual meeting in Greenville
next year, about tho last of July, and for nit extended
tour through the North to licstou, visiting
all important immediate points, an 1 that a
circular letter be prepared and sent to all members
of the press throughout the State, urging
the importance of their utlilintiiig with the association,
met with the approbation of the associlion,
but action thereon was deferred until the

Navigation or Huoaii Kivku.?Gen. Gillmore,
of the United States engineer corps, who has
charge of improvements of Southern rivers and
harbors and is supervising the building of the
jett.es iu Charleston, has detailed Capt. Carson
to make an inspection of Broad River
with a view to its navigation. Capt. Carson is
now in the city, and leaves to-day on an expedition
by boat up the river to make a personal

head of llie boat navigation, l'or this purpose
be baa .secured iho services of Capt. llugbes, of
Union, and a complement of men.
He desires to meet the people residing along
the river and to obtain from them all tlie facts
and statistics relating thereto, especially with
regard to the population, products and the probable
amount of freight that would be carried
on the river, lie proposes to visit the Cherokee
Iron Works and obtain specimens of the ore to
be scut North and analyzed, and he desires all
lbo information that ho can obtain in reference
to tiic mining in the uppet sectitns of the Stale.
All the aid that can be given to t'apt. Carson
in this connection will tend to enable him to lay
such facts before Geu. (Jilltnore as will
show the advantages of opening this-river to
navigation. Very much depends upon these
preliminary reports whether Congress ill make
the necessary appropriations for the improve

TiiiQahy Uoom.?The (Jury boom is being
tenderly nursed by three or four country newspapers.
We have nothing ngainst Gen. Gary
specially?we honor him for the part lie took In
the memorable campaign of '70?but we ilo not
think he will do for Governor. Wo do not suy
this because lie had the boldness to differ with
the policy popularly known as the llnmpton
policy, but because wo do not think he fairly
represents the political views of the Democratic
voters of the State, and consequently his election
would place our (coplo in a false position
before the country nl large. Wc could name a
half-dozen or more men, any one of whom we
would rather see Governor than Gen. >J. W.

to be muzzled or shot.

we are not so certain that any good will com

There lias been a want of dignity, harnioliy an I

Homicides in Spartanburg.
The Sjuirlan informs us that on Saturday night
last a colored hoy, uttmcd Pet Hawkins, was
shot an 1 killed by one Thomas White, a white
man, without any provocation. The evidence
against White was positive and he is now in jail.
On Tuesday, the 11 tit, J. Calvin l'nris killed
his brother-in-law, A. Jack Williams, by striking
him on the head with a double-barrel shot
gun, in the neighborhood of Cherokee Springs.
There was no old grudge, and both men were sober.
It happened on the spur of the moment,
in a dispute about renting land. Paris voluntarily

'Convict Labor."
Mil. Koituu :?We mean by "convict labor,"
the working of Penitentiary Convicts promiscuously
over the Country, as has been the case for
sonic time past. Certain crimes arc, according
to law, punishable by close confinement, at hard
labor, in the Penitentiary; but our Legislature,
in its wisdom, passed an Act permitting the
fcMrd of directors to hire euisconviets for certain
purposes, but expressly forbade hiring t hem
1but for Agricultural purposes.
I think the act permitting the hiring out o(
convicts ?t all excepted those convicts who wer<
being puntslicd for the efftues of murder, manslaughter,
tape, arson, burglary ?c., yet it
seems that no regard has been paid to this ex
ccption, convicts undergoing punishment
for primes of the "deepestoye" have been hirei
out. On this point further comment is unite
cessary.

after this term, which ends in \?ny next, unless 8
the churches come to their assistance and con- I
tribute the funds necessary to carry it on and I
pay sill" an already existing debt of $ 1,000. The
directors are determined not to use any ol the

trustees they arc bound not to do so. We trust
that the appeal for aid in behalf of this institu- ^

to. Our people, who are so ready to contribute

j it was decided thoi the recommendations should
( lie confined to improvements in the present
methods rather than extended to radical clinnn
ges in existing laws, it being considered especially
desirable at the present time to provoke
er as little conflict in Congress, and localise as littie
disturbance to business as possible. The
