Tammany Fai.m ixto Link.?Saratoga, July 23.?The Slate committee of the Tammany Democrat* met here this morning an<l was called to order by John II. Colby, chairman. Every member was either present or represented by a substitute. Secretary 8. Keels said that he had resignations from the candidates for electors who were nominated at Shakespeare Hull. Mr. Huge, of Oswego, moved their acceptance.. Mr. Cowcu, of Sarratoga, thought it better to appoint it committee of five to confer with other organixntious before accepting these resignations. No action was taken on the subject. On motion of John Kelly, the chairninn appointed five members to act with the chairman and secretary of the committee to prepare an address.' The committee consists of John Kelly, Win. W. "Wright, K. 8. Jenny, A. I.anson, S. l'ugoand F. L IVistbrook. The Slate committee then look n rccoss until 4 o'clock. The following r?solution was adopted: Ursolved, That while our constituents had no part in the nomination of the electoral ticket bended by the lion. Abrain S. Hewitt, we recognize that in voting for that titkel they will vote for our nntional candidates whose success would be jeopardized by retaining two electoral tickPlM in l)lA Slnln ? %.! * ' u....v, in- iiii-ri'iun- ncccpi iiic rtsignntion of (lie gentlemen nominated ns electors by the Shakespeare Hall Convention, ami determine that the union ami the harmony of the party will be best served by omitting to till the vacancies. The committee adopted an address to the Democratic party of the State, in which they say thai the nomination of llancook lias lifted the whole party above embarrassing local and State distractions to a broad national ground, ami lias blotted out past nlienalious by a grand hope.? There is now but one parly, one cause ami one work, in which all Democrats should heartily unite, and to wliioli they should devote their utmost zeal. I.et past alienations be forgotten, liuried forever be everything that lias tended to divide our counsels and embitter those who should co-operutc. Let us sacrifice personal preferences and ambitions 011 the altar of the united party. Let everything lie done that can be done with self-respect and honor to strengthen the Democratic party in the State and Nation, ami secure uu unprecedented Democratic triumph. The commit tec then adopted the following preamble ami resolutions : Whcrens, the wise and patriotic action of the Democratic National Convention recently us seuiblo'l at Cincinnati, in placing before the people of the Union as candidates for President and Vico-l'resident of the United States, Oen. W infield Scott Hancock and Hon. Win. II. Knglisli, has settled all (he differences which have divided the Democratic party upon national issues in this State ; therefore, lletolvfti. That, with a view of having a convention in this State wherein nil members of the Democracy of the State may be fuirlv and properly represented, a sub committee of five be appointed by the cliuir to confer with the Democratic State committee, of which lion. Lester It. Fnulkticr is chairman, and that subcommittee be clothed with full power in the premises. Tub Would'si Fa hi.?For two years a constant agitation has been kept up in New York for the holding of an International Kxhibition iu this country in 1883. The dwellers in towns remote have, during this period, heard but little of the labors of the handful of public-spirited men, who have persistently carried forwa.d the movement to the point it has now reached. Patiently and prudently they have gone on from stage to stage, having the satisfaction at each successive step to w itness a decided advance iu all the essential elements of success. The holding of an International Kxhibition in this country in 1883 is now tut assured fact. The initiatory difficulties inseparably connected with a scheme of such magnitude, particularly those in regard to the obtaining of necessary legislation, have all been overcome, and the preliminary arrangements ami complete organization of the I'nited States Intcruation Kxhibition Commission of I8S;{ are being pushed forward to a speedy completion. A special act of Congress providing for the holding of such exhibi lion has been obtained ; bills have been passed in the New York Legislature grliuting to the Commissioners who may be appointed, powers to acquire such lands, etc., as may be requisite, and the (lovemors of the several States are rapidly nominating Commissioners to assist the project to a successful termination. The plan of the proposed exposition is on a scale of such mag nilude that it completely eclipses everything of the kind in the past, and may probably never be surpassed in the future, and the movement has notv enternd upon a career of popular recognition ami public favor which guarantee the ultimate accomplishment of all that its projectors have hoped to realize. - Tiik Si'asisi!

A fine hand of music will accompany it, and a large and ellicient police force has been employed to keep strict order. Pistols ami bowie knives will he excluded. ?* Look Out for Them. We again call upon the town authorities* i to keep watch upon a set of loafers who are ofj ten seen, after dark, prowlii.gahout hack premises of private dwellings and hiding in shady places an I lanes along Main Street, from the llaptist church down to Mr. Win. Muuros. A few nights ago three strange negroes were discovered so lounging about ?one in front of ltev. 11. G. Clifford's lot, one in front of ('apt. A. II. Foster's dwelling and one in front of Capt. S. W. Porter's. From their nctiotis they were after no good. A Worthy Hechanio. We invite attention to the advertisement of A. M. Gilmer, of Gatfney City, manufacturer of Wagons, Carriages, lluggics, Ac. Mr. Gilmer is no ordinary man. In 1870 he commenced learning his trade with Mr. Itarnhill, at l)raytonville, in this County. In 1878 lie went to Gatfney City, with :?t'>R in his pocket. With this small capital lie bought tools, put up a building and commenced business, employing one colored hand. From this small beginning his business lias so increased (hat he now employs ten hands regularly and is so crowded with or- j ders that all hands are kept close at work. He j is now prepared to turn out every kind of a vc- | hijle, from a cheap wagon to the finest Phaeton, ! at the short est notice and as cheap as any one. j If that man don t deserve patronage we would 1 like to know who does. ^ Attempted Burglary. .'ii aui'^miiv iiijiiii lasi, mi\ Wallace Mix, wlio 1 | was sleeping iii Messrs.

Mr. llix imnicdiatcly got < out of hed and, pistol in hand, listened and I i watched. Soon he saw the head and shoulders j of a coal hlack burly negro protruding through I , the transom light over the side door.

The County Kxeculive Committee arc now ielively cugugod in reorganizing the democratic clubs throughout (lie County, and before (he day of (he Primary election we expect to ltMgrn that the whole democratic force in Union County will have fallen into line under the same flag and animated by the same spirit which secured the glorious victories of 187G and 1878. If there ever was a time when the necessity for thorough organisation existed, it was never more imperative than now. Kadioi^'MndJipandents, soreheads and quasi democrats are actively at work to break the ranks of the democratic party. They arc combining to fortn a third party upon the most specious clap-trap arguments that the most corrupt demagogues can devise.? if the honest democrats of the County will fully and fairly weigh their arguments they will find nearly allofthem without foundational truth, inrfislftseisw I I>m C . L - L. QU>IIIIJ IV HIV VUUIU1UU OVII3C Ul HIV IIOI1V31 ??l?' ing men of oar country, and highly colored to cover up the cloven foot of radicalism and its hideous offspring centralisation. And who are the leaders of this mongrel party? Look at them and their past political records: Some of them belonged to the infamous Union League?sworn members of it?and have ue^er acted squarely with the democratic party since, except when they hoped to get office by it ; others have run on iudependentaud radical tickets, and all have forfeited all claims to democratic suffrage .by their frequent efForts to create disorder and discontent in the democratic ranks. Not one of them has beon a firm, consistent and out spoken friend of the democratic cause: but they have ever been aspirants for office, raring not a jot whether they obtained it from the radical or democratic parly. Such arc the leaders of the great third party in this County, which, they say, is to create a political and social revolution in the whole country, by making the poor man rich and the rich man poor. They have got it all mapped out, upon paper, and to the common mind it is plain and easy enough. But thoy remind us of a ludicrous scene nt tlio time when n. few ilUnnninn. led and impetuous men undertook to capture Canada from the English government, by force of arms : Six of the so-called "Patriot Generals,'' at the Kagle Hotel, Detroit, Mich., sat round a table upon which was a map of Canada and its boundaries. They would point out a spot on the Canada coast, row their uifcif over the Detroit river, and take it. That victory achieved, on paper, they would take uriw'jt of whiskey. Iti the same way they took every important point on the Canada shore, arid by midnight the whole of Canada was in their possession and each one of those valiant "Patriot Gcneials" was dead drunk under the (able.? It was ensy enough to do it, on paper and under the inspiring influence of whiskey ; tut in attempting to put it in practice it was soon discovered that the leaders in this wild scheme were eithci fools or knaves, and their ragged and deluded followers becamo disgusted find deserted the flimsy cause. So it is with these third party leaders. They hold out bright promises to the laboring men?and by laboring men lliey tell us they mean those who labor with their heads ns well as their hands, which, of course, includes Lawyers, Doctors, Professors, Editors, ltankers, &c.?but they have neither the intelligence, the honesty nor the power to fulfll those promises, even if their party should be successful. Only one end would, in that eveut, be attained?the leaders would have the offices. Will intelligent democratic voters allow such men to hoodwink them by their sophistry, and lead them from the true path of duly to the onnv . ii L* t'iiiuiui I iii 11 tv mm many can u? 90 gulled : but it is possible that some may he deceived by them and we warn them against tlie fraud. It is but ra Ileal fa n, covered up under the specious name of the third or labor party, looking to the negro voters of the County, with the few stragglers they can induce to leave the democratic ranks, for strength to break down the democratic party and reinstate the same ignorant, vicious and corrupt government which once disgraced the proud name of South Carolina, and for the overthrow of which the true people struggled so hard and sacrificed so.much. Let us organize against every party and every man opposed to tke glorious old party that rescued the State from the corruption and infamy of radicalism. "I The 7th Eule. We call the attention of all candidates and voters alike to the lollowing rule governing the Primary election : VII. No person shall he eligible to election at the primary election who shall not pledge himself beforehand, in writing, to the Chairman of the Kxccutivc Committee, to abide by the icsult of the election and support the nominees. By that rule, it will be observed, every candidate is required to pledge himself to abide by the result of the Primary election, or, as we understand it, the votes cast for any candidate who has not so pledged himself will not he counted. The Chairman of the Executive Committee will tile the pledge of each candidate and provide the managers of election at each box with a list of those who have complied with the rule. The rule is just and proper. True democrats will comply with it, and none will refuse to give the pledge except those who care nothing for the harmony of the democratic party or the idioicc of its member*, as expressed at (lie polls. We cannot accept such men as good democrats, Cor most of iliciu would be as willing to run in pposition to the regular nominees as to support > licui. - - ? Communication Declined. We have before us a communication which we wonl l very much like to publish, as it express i's our own views upon matters connected with lie otlicc of which it specially speaks ; but we ire compelled to decline publishing it, <m ? comnuhiration, simply because it presses the claims >f one candidate over many others who are runflip tlio flfltnn atfiPA W? nnp.ifnllu Mir columns clear of I lie appearance of partially towards any candidate in the field ; but if lie friends of any candidate wish to use our iolunins for the benefit of their favorite, they an do so upon paying for tlio space they occupy, at our advertising rates.

We are told dial the Northern Kadicals4l? not inleod to make inuch effort to break up the solid democratic South. We can understand, that < more very easily. They have sent Weaver, the ( Greenback candidate for President, down South ? to do that for thein. Weaver says he is sure to t carry Alabama and believes ho can count on Mis- t issippi. While we do not believo any such wild calculations, it is very plain that Weaver I and his satellites are working like Reavers in those States, and if they should carry either of ] them it would be in the interest of the Republican candidates.

' It is very apparent to us that there is a combination between the Northern Radicals and (he leaders of the Greenback party, to defeat the Democratic candidates for President and Vice- i President. Tli's they expect to do by carrying ono Southern State for the Grccnbackers. If ] they succeed, it will be by the solid vote of the Republicans combined with the weak-kneed, sore- < head democrats; but it will be found that the rewards of office will be divided, at the South, between Republicans and those leading Greenbackers who arc now aiding them to consuinnte such an infamous scheme?not a loaf or a fish will their deluded democratic followcis get for their apostacy. Mark our prediction. The Glorious Mt. Tabor Clnb. We arc truly glad to learn that the staunch and true democrats of Mt. Tabor will reorganize their Democratic Club on the 14th of August.? In the elections of 187G and 1878 the members of the Mt. Tabor Club bore themselves most gallantly, by their noble example and faithful work in the cause of home rule and honest government, and i*. gives ns great pleasure to know that they arc not only the first to organize for the fight of 1880, but also filled with the same enthusiasm in the determination to secure the permanency, of honest Democratic rule in the State. . ? . For the Times. Pile Driver's sjoinder. Etta J ask, July 20. Mr. EniTOR:?I ain aware that you dislike publishing communications which have unpleasant personal tendencies, but as Mr. Kendrick flatly denies my statement that he had removed Mr. J. C. Spears and appointed Mr. Kldridge Wood as Iload Overseer, and further says "nor do I intend to," lie makes it appear that I had no foundation for making the statement, I therefore feel it due to my integrity to show that 1 had good and sufficient cause for saying what I did about it. below I give you the certificates of three reliable gentlemen in reply to Mr. Kcndrick's 1 "statement of a few facts ." 1 July 24th, 1880. I certify tlmt Mr. A. F. Kemlrick asked me to take the position of Road Overseer in place ( of J. C. Spears, and said that he desired to make ( the change because Spears had treated him badly. 1 declined to accept. J. II. GARNER. July 2d, 1880. I certify that Mr. A. F. Kemlrick asked me to take the position of Road overseer in place of J. C. Spears. I would not accept. JAS. GARNER. July 24th 1880. I certify that Mr. A. F. Kemlrick nsked me to take the position of Road Overseer in place of Mr. J. C. Spears. I at Jirnt declined toaccept, but lie said that he would force me to act as overseer aud would send tnc a commission in a few days. KLDKI DGE WOOD. My communication being in advance of Ih6 issuing of Mr. Wood's commission, seems to have deranged a programme and caused Mr. Keudrick to suddculy change his mind. Wlien I made the statement in regard to Mr. Wood's appointmet>(, L took Mr. Kcndrick's will for his deed, nnd under the Circumstances I, with others, regarded Mr. Wood as tiic appointee. The person who can sec a materia! difference between the intention and tire act ought to be able to explain the ditrereucc between tweedlcdec aud tweedledum. The portion of Mr. Kendrick's reply about his mill is entirely irrelevant, inasmuch as I said nothing impugning his motive in erecting it. I have heard of some talk, in effect, denying my statement about Mr. Garner's Mill l)am.? Now I am not disposed to farther notice a mere verbal denial, but will uoticc a written one, should it appear. 1 would suggest to our future law makers the JIIOIIVV llll'l \ A I'VUIVIIVJ U I I II V III M ill regard to working (lie roads, so ns to make all wagons ami teams liable to road duty, without allowing the owners to claim personal exemption fo - such service.

Siik Sroui-kk t?i Foi.ly.?New York, July 28. ?A cable special furnishes the following particulars of the ileal h of Mrs. A.inic Wet inure in Paris: The suicide of Mrs. Annie Wetmore, which took place at the residence of Lady A I- 1 bert Clinton, at 12 Hue Chatcaubriainl at 8 o'clock yesterday, has created a p.-diiful sensation among English and American residents hero ? It is the old story of misplaced coiitidcuce, abandonment and despair. Some two or three years ago the deceased lady met the Marquis of Anglesey, thou Lord Henry Paget. Slu was a handsome, attractive woman, and it is said that she abandoned her husband and only child under the impression that if she could get a divor :c Lord Henry Paget would iftirry her. However this may be, it is certain that the relations of the parties were of the most intimate character, and the friends of Mrs. Wetmore were led to believe that a promise of marriage actually existed and that a ,ii.I....... ,.i.i ?i... ? i.i become Lady Anglesey, Lord Henry I'agct having succeeded lu the liilo. 'I'll? u 11 t<?rl 11 iuttc lady's hopes were suddenly blasted, however, hy the [uiblienlioii of the marriage of the new Mar1111im lo the Hon. Mrs. Wadchotise, widow ot Lord Kimherly's second son, and daughter of I'restoii King of Georgia. The shock to Mrs. Wetinoro was terrible and her friends thought die would lose her reason. After she became more composed the idea occurred to her of sung the Marquis in the I'.nglish law courts for breach of promise, as she had upward of twolititiI red of his letters which she considered would fstahlUh her case. Whether she shrank from iho scandal of such proceedings or whether she was deterred from putting it into execution by insufficiency of means is tint known, hut she settled down Into a state if deep melancholy from which nothing could arouse her, and finally she procured the fatal drug which put an end lo her existence. The police authorities an inquiry into the affair to day, and, after inspecting the lody, pave \l. Weeks, of the Chapel hi the line I'.ayard, permission lo make all necessary arrangements for the funeral.

Editor Union Timrs :?linking been blessed with hoi anil dry weather sufficient to "lay by'' 4 crops the farmers have now begun to feel the effects of the political fever and hereafter strict attention will be paid to the coming election.? The excursions have not cooled the fever by inhaling the Mountain breezes, aud now "barbecues" are in order?first on one side of the County nnd then in an opposite direction.? Jooesvtlle, not to be behind with her sister Townships, propose, wo are informed, to give one on August 21st, under the management of Messrs. Bishop and Whitlock, nnd in order that it shall be equal to the best they have engaged that mar. a tre ic cuisine, I'rof. Sinclair, to superintend tho w cooking. It is expected that every one who as* pircs to be a candidate will be present and en* tertain the assemblage with speeches. If the speeches are not particularly noted for oratory button-holding will bo tho order of the day. Creditable to the Trustees of this Township, the Free Schools hare commenced again nnd al* though the appropriation is somewhat limited, they arc determined to give the children tho benefit of all the funds they are entitled to.? Why would it not be proper during the coming campaign for the candidates for tho Legislatnro to devote at least tern minutes to informing their constituents and friends their ideas on tho Free School System, and, give nssurancc, if elcc* A ted, they will do something for the rising generation. As the system stands now, it is a humbug, nu impositirn, not only on tho people but on the children ; for what benefit is two months of school in the Spring, oqo month in the Summer, and the other nine months spent in playing, hunting and working. If tho system cannot be better nrranged why not do away with the Free Schools entirely ? Then parents would know tli.it the only way their children can secure nn education will be by pay* ing for a private teacher. This is a question eminently worthy of no* tice and should be considered an essential one in the selection of candidates front this county, for to-day this topic is more discussed among parents than the supremacy of either political party.

That was agrand outburst of Senator Butler, nnd coming from a man who is a synonym of courage nnd gallantry, it will ring like the horn of nuuiTicK unu luroiiguoui tuo taint. All can rally around such a standard bearer with confidence. Hut what is to be done about the po< r editors. Old Col. Cash and young Col. Cu?h, pistol in hand, say you must stop this at onto or sutler the consequences?a bullet in the heart. This is certainly very plain talk and will be very apt to insure Col. Cash a warm reception if ho persists in his bullying. It is high time this question was settled. The law should be enforced at once. As it now stands the whole thing is a farce. No one doubts but Col. Shannon was ? brave man, a conscientious gentleman. He took tUe right stand in refusing to tight a duel?a stand in which he would doubtless have been sustained by the public?but his assailants adopted a system of tactics that goaded him to despetation. He became afraid of public opinion ? lost his balance and sent a challenge. This is not a case of pistols and whiskey. The trouble lies deeper and the peace of society and character of our people demand a new departure. LA1V AND OKDBR. Pianos and Organs. Srkcial Offish, Kai.ii. 1880.
