Tammany ^alm into Link.?Saratoga, July 2^. ?The Stale commit tee of tlie Tammany l>emocrnts met here this morning anil was called lo order by Joint II. Colby, chairman. Every member was either present or represented by a substitute. Secretary S. Keels said that he had resignations from the candidates for electors who were nominated ,\t Shakespeare Hull. Mr. llage, of Oswego, moved (heir acceptance.. Mr. Cowcn, of Sarratoga, thought it better to appoint a committee of five to confer with other organizations before accepting these resignations. No action tvas taken on the subject. On motion of John Kelly, the chairman appointed five members to act with the chuirman and secretary of the committee to prepare mi address. The committee consists of John Kelly, Wm. \V. Wright, E. 8, Jenny, A. Lanson, S. l'ngc and F. Jj. Westbrook. Tho State committee then look n rccoss until 4 o'clock. The following r<solution was adopted : RttolvtJ, That while our constituents hail no part in the nomination of the electoral ticket headed by the Hon. Abrnni S. Hewitt, we recognize that in voting for that ticket they will vote fur our national candidates whose success would he jeopardized by retaining two electoral tickets in the Stale, and tve therefore accept the resignation of the gentlemen nominated ns electors by tho Shakespeare Hall Convention, and determine that the union nnd the harmony of the party will be best served by omitting to fill tlic vacancies. The committee adopted an address to the Democratic pwriy er tne stare, in wnicn tney snj -that the nomination of Hancock has lifted the whole party nbovc embarrassing local and Stale distractions to a broad national ground, and has blotted out past alienations by a grand hope.? There is now hut one party, one cause and one worn, in which nil Democrats should heartily unite, and to whioh they should devote Ihcii utmost zeal. Let post alienations be forgotten, lluricd forever be everything that has tended to divide our counsels and embitter those whe should co-operue. Let us sacrifice personal preferences and ambitious on the altar of the united pnrty. Let everything be done that can be done with self-respect and honor to strengthen the Democratic party in the Stole and Nation, and secure an unprecedented Democratic triumph. The committee then adopted the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, the wise and patriotic action of the Democratic National Convention recently as sciubla J at Cincinnati, in plncing before the people of the Union as candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States, Gen. Winfleld Scott Hancock and Hon. IVm. II. English, has settled all (he differences which have divided the Dcinocralic parly upon national issues in this Stale ; therefore, Retolvrd, That with a view of having a con vention in this State wherein all members ol the Democracy of the State may l-e fairly and properly represented, a sub-committee of five be appointed by the chair to confer with th? Democratic State committee, of which Hon Lester B. Knulkticr is chairman, and that sub committee be clothed with full power in the premises. The World's Fair.?For two years a constant agitation hns been kept up in New York for the holding of an International Exhibition in this country in 1883. The dwellers in towns: remote have, during this period, heard but lit11.. lU. 1-1 ? - * - " ..v ui me ntuurs <ji iiic iianuitil of public-spirited men, who hnvc persistently carried forwu.d the movement to the point it has now reached. Patiently nnd prudently they have Rone on front stage to stage, having the satisfaction at cacli successive step to witness a decided advance in all the essential elements of success. The holding of an International Exhibition in this country in 1884 is now nn assured fact. The initiatory difficulties inseparably connected with n scheme of such mngnitude, particularly those in regard to the obtaining of necessary legislation, have nil been overcome, and the preliminary arrangements and complete organization of the United Slates Intcrnation Exhibition Commission of 1883 nre being pushed forward to a speedy completion. A special act of Congress providing for tho holding of such cxhibi tion has been obtained ; bills have been passed in the New York Legislature granting to the Commissioners who may be appointed, powers to acquire such lands, etc., as may be requisite, nnd the (lovernors of the several States are rapidly nominating Commissioners to assist the project to a successful termination. The plan of the proposed exposition is on ascale of such magnitude that it completely eclipses everything of the kind tn the past, and may'probably never be surpassed in the future, nnd the movement has now enter1*! upon n career of popular recognition and phblic favor which guarantee the ultimate accomplishment of nil that its projectors have hoped to realize.

We shall not be surprised if we have to Announce next week thnt some fellow had stolen a Pan. It is awful hot, you know.

II. Graham, on Saturday night lasty itnd again stole all the provisions she had. It was no stranger to the premises that did it, for the door was opened with a key and locked again after the goods were stolen.

Accidental Shooting. On Mondny last white Mr. Jeff. Gregory of Suntuc, was iu the woods, squirrel hunting, the gun of a negro boy who was with him was accidentally discharged, and the whole load of shot struck Mr. Gregory, peppering him from his knees to Ins neck. One shot struck hitn in the neck and penetrated to within a quarter of an inch of the jugular vein. Mo serious result is apprehended. ? - Ihe 8artor and Powell Exoursloa. f The last excursion of the season, to the ruoun' tains, will begiveu on Saturday the 7th of AuI gust, under the management of J. W. Sartor and J.M.Powell. It will run from Shelton, S.C., to Hendersonville, N. C. All who know the mana. ! gcrs feel assured it will be a most plcnsantand or. derly affair. A fine baud of music will accompany it, and a large and efficient police force has been employed to keep strict order. Pistols 1 aud kowic knives will be excluded. i ? Look Out for Them. We again call upon the town authorities" to keep watch upon a set of loafers who are often seen, nflerdnrk, prowling about back premises of private dwellings and hiding in shady places ' an I lanes along Main Street, from the Baptist | church down to Mr. Win. Munros. A few nights ; ago three strange negroes were discovered so i lounging about?one in front of Rev. B. G. Clifford's lot, one in front of Capt. A. II. Foster's dwelling and one in front of Capt. S. W. Porter's. From their actions they were after i no good. I A Worthy Mechanio. We invite attention to tho advertisement of A. M. Gilmer, of Gnffney City, manufacturer of Wagons, Carriages, Buggies, &c. Mr. Gilmer is no ordinary man. In 1870 he commenced learning his trade with Mr. Ilarnhill, at Dray , lonvuie, in una t;ounty. In 1878 lie went lo GafTney Oily, with $68 in his pocket. With ' this small capital he bought tools, put up a building and commenced business, employing one colored hand. From this small begiuning his business has so increased that he now employs ten hands regularly nud is so crowded with orders that all hands are kept close at work. He is now prepared to turn out every kind of a vehicle, from a cheap wngoti to the finest I'haelon, , at the shortest notice and as cheap as any one. i If that man don't deserve patronage we would like to know who does. - - ? Attempted Burglary. On Tuesday night last, Mr. Wallace llix, who , was sleeping in Messrs. McCrory & Hill's Grocery store, heard some one try the lock of the door and afterwards a whistle and other suspicious sounds outside. Mr. Hix immediately got out of bed and, pistol in hand, listened and watched. Soon he saw the head and shoulders of a coal black burly negro protruding through me iniuauni ugni over me sine door. Mr. liix fired three shots at liiin, when the negro dropped to the sidewalk, but it is supposed he was not hit, as lie inade double quick time in getting away, and it was afterwards found that I wo balls hod struck the wall and glanoed off. Not long ago some ono burglariously entered through the back window and stole about for.y dollars worth of gpods. After that iron bars were put to the back windows and it was intended to do the same with the transom, for which suitable iron had been ordorod. In the moan time the transom wa; taken out to give air to the store. This the fellow no doubt knew and supposed be could get in without waking Mr. Ilrx. it is very probable that had begot in ant accomplice would have foliowod, and then Mr. Mix's life would have been in danger. There aro some lazy negroes loafing about this town who should he watched, or I hey will commit some horrible crime. Deinooratio^lulii Reorganising. I J The County Executive Committee are now ec- | lively ctigugod in reorganising the democratic > clubs throughout the Count}, and beftorethe day ( of the Trimary election we expect to learn that > the whole democratic force in Union County will < have fallen into line under tho same tig and I animated by the same spirit which secured the < glorious victories of 1870 and 1878. < If there ever was a time when the necessity 1 for thorough organisation exiatedr it.^M never 1 more imperative than now. Radioaj|fMntl)jjpsn- I dents, soreheads and quasi democrats are active- 1 Iy at Work to break the ranks of the democratic I parly. They are combining to form a thihi party upon the most specious clap-trap arguments 1 that the most corrupt demagogues can devise.? ' If the honest democrats of the County will fully 1 and fairly weigh their arguments they will find < nearly all of them without foundation in truth, In- 1 Salting to the common sense of the honest work- ( ing men of ottr country, and highly colored Jo 1 cover up the cloven foot of radicalism and its hid- ' eous offspring centralisation. And who are the 1 leaders of this mongrel party? Look at them and their past political records : Some of them belonged the infamous Union League?sworn members of it?and have ne^er acted squarely with the democratic party since, exoept when they hoped to get office by it ; others have run on independent anil radical tickets, and all havo forfeited all claims to democratic suffrage .by their frequent efforts to creato disorder and discon tent ia (lie democratic rank-". Not one of |hem has been a firm, consistent and outspoken friend of the democratic cause: but they have ever been nspirants for office, earing not a jot whether they obtained it from the radical or democratic party. Such are 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 they remind us of a ludicrous scene at the time when a few discontented and impetuous men undertook to capture Canada from the English government, by force of arras : Six of the so-called "Patriot tienerals," at the Eagle Hotel, Detroit, Mich., sal round a table upon which was a map of Cannda and its boundaries. They would point out a spot on the Canada coast, row their uibtf over the Detroit river, and take it. That victory aahiaved, on pap*r, th?y would t^o a of whiskey. In the same way they took every important point on the Canada thore,' arid fty'midnight the whole of Canada was in their possession and each one of those valiant "iVtriot Qeneials" was dead drunk under the (able.? It was easy enough to do it,' on paper and under the inspiring influence of whiskey ; tut in attempting to put it-in pnvetioe it was soon discovered that the leaders in this wild scheme were eithei fools or knaves, and their ragged and deluded followers became disgusted nnd deserted the flimsy cause. Soil is with these third party leaders. They hold out bright promises to the laboring men?and by laboring men they tell us they mean those who labor with their heads as well as their hands, which, of course, includes Lawyers, Doctors, Professors, Editors, ?. - t-1 - ' ' inuun, av.?uui i iiey nave neitner I lie intelligence, the honesty nor I lie power to ful61 those promisee, even if tbeir party should be auccessrul. OnTy one end would, In that event, be attained?the leaders would have the offices. Will intelligent democratic voters nllew such utcu to hoodwink them by their sophistry, and lead tbem from the true path of duty to the State? We cannot think that many cafu be so gulled ; but it is possible that some may he deceived by them and we warn them agaiust the fraud. It is bnt ra IrtfaliS n, covered.up under the specious nnme 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 tho same ignorant, vicious and corrupt government which once disgraced the proud iiamo of South Carolina, and for the overthrow of which ihe true people struggled so bard and sacrificed, so,much. Let us organize against every party and every man opposed to the glorious old pnrly that rescued the State from the corruption aud infamy of radicalism. . t\1 The 7th Bale. We call the a|t?ption of all candidates and voters alike to the following rule governing the Primary election : VII. No person shall be eligible to election at the primary election who shall not pledge himself beforehand, in writing, to the Chairman of the Executive Committee, to abide by ttye tesult of the election and support the noraiuees. 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 qtndidate who has not so pledged himself will not be counted. The Chairman of the Executive Com-' mittee will file the pledge of each caudldato 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 nqthing for the hnrmony of the deiuocratio party or the choice of its members, as expressed at fhe polls. We cannot accept such men as good democrats, for most of them wThild bo as willing to run in u|>|ui3iiiuii iu me regular uuiiiiuvcs us 10 support ibein. - . Communication Deolined. We have before us a communication which we woulJ very much like to publish, as it express es our own views upon matters connected with the office of which it specially speaks : but we are compelled to decline publishing it,"as a communication, simply because it presses the claims of one candidate over many others who are running for the same office. We have carefully kept our columns clear of the appearance of partiality towards any candidate in the field ; but if the friends of any candidate wish to use our oolumns for the benefit of their favorite, they can do so upon paying for the spaoe they occupy, at our advertising rates. We apply this rule to every one. o /it ? ? ? , A Huockinu Cbimr.?On last Friday evening James Cochran and John Cochran, two white uien, brothers, living in the neighborhood of Calhoun, were lodged in jail at this 1 pteee on a commitment from Trial Justice R. N. Wright, charged with committing an assault and battery with intent to kill tVilh deadly weapons end attempting to outrage .Mary L. Coeiiran, wife of the accused James Cochran. We learn from reports that it was a most brutal and barbarous outrage, something unheard of in the annale of our country, and that the parlies narrowly eseaped lynching at tlie bunds of the enraged citiiens of the vicinity.?Anrfenon Journal. ? v 1 Deep Laid Kadioal Scheme. We are told dial the Northern RadioalsfUi not tend to make much effort to break up the solid letnocratio South. We can understand, that coi nove very cosily. They have sent Weaver, the tlx Greenback candidate for President, down South on ,o do that for them. Weaver say? he is sure to do sarry Alabama and believes ho can count on Mis- thi lissippi. While we do not be lie to any suoh vild calculations, it is very plain that Weaver l0< ind his satellites are working like Reavers in ihope States, and if they should carry either of D. hem it would be in the interest of the Republican candidates. J. They have sent Weaver down South for that purpose, while they spend all their money and C. til their efforts to merely hold those Northern States that went Republican in 1876, and Yc also defeat asufficientnumber of Northern demooratio Congressmen to give them a Radical- Jn Greenback majority in Congress, if the Presidential election should be thrown into the House M of Representatives, for want of a majority of the electoral votes in the olectoral oollege. W It is eery apparent to us that there is a combination between the Northern Radicals and the leaders of the Greenback party, to defeat the Democratic candidates for President and Vice- S. President. This they expect to do by carrying ono Southern State for the Grecnbackers. If M they succeed, it will be by the solid vote of the Republicans combined with the weak-kneed, sore- Q head democrats; but it will be found that the rewards of office will be divided, at the South, between Republicans and those leading Green- ol backers who nre now aiding thom to consumate such an infamous scheme?not a loaf or a fish d< will their deluded democratic followcis get for Ji their apostney. Mark our prediction. ui The Glorious Kt. Tabor ClnbWe arc truly glad to learn that the staunch and truo democrats of Mt. Tabor will reorganize their Democratic Club on the 14th of August.? w In the elections of 1876 and 1878 the members " of the Mt. Tabor Club bore themselves most 'j gallantly, by their noble example and faithful CT work in the cause of home rule and honest ^ government, and i?, gives ns great pleasure to know thai they arc not only the first to organize for the fight of 1880, but also filled with the ? same enthusiasm in the determination to ae- r< cure the permanency, of honest Democratic rule in the State. Y< It For the Times. Pile Driver's Rejoinder. Etta Jasb, July 26. ^ Mr. Editor:?I am aware that you dislike ^ publishing communications which have unpleas- P ant personal tendencies, but as Mr. Kendrick ^ flatly denies my statement that he had removed n Mr. J.

BLDR1DQB WOOD. r< My communication being in advanoe of a th4 issuing of Mr. Wood's commission, seems ' to have derrfnged a programme and caused 1 Mr. KenJriclt to suddenly change his mind. When I made the statement in regard to Mr. Wood's appointment, 1 took Mr. Kendrick's * will for his deed, and under the circumstances I, with others, regsrdod Mr. Wood as the f appointee.

I have heard of some talk, in effect, denying \ my statement about Mr. Garner's Mill Dam.? I Now I am not disposed to farther notice a mere I verbal denial, but will notice a written one, ^ should it appear. 1 would suggest to our future law makers the justice and expediency of changing the law in regard to working the roads, so as to mnke all c wagons and teams Uable to road duty, without allowing the owners to claim personal exemption for such service.

Sitk Ntuoi'ku to Foi.lt.?New Vork, July 23 -A cable special furnishes the following partic ilars of the death of Mrs. A.inie Wet more in 'aria: The suicide of Mrs. Annie Wetmore, rhioh took place nt the residence of Lady Al< iert Clinton, nt 12 Hue Chateaubriand at 3 o'lock yesterday, has created a painful sensation .mong English and American residents here ? t is the old story of misplaced coufldence, aban lonmenl and despair. Home two or three years ago the deceased la ly met the Marquis of Anglesey, then Lord lenry Paget. Uhj was a handsome, attractivt iromtn, and it is said that she abandoned hei lusband and only ohild under the impression hat If she could get a divorce Lord Henry Paget rould rttxrry her. However this may be, il s certain that the relations of the parties were f the most iutimate character, and the friendt if Mrs. Wet more were led to believe that t tromise of marriage actually existed and that i livorce having been obtained, she would soon teooine Lady Anglesey, Lord llonry Paget hov ng succeeded to the title.

After she becams itore composed the idea occurred to her of sung the Marquis in the English law eourls for reach of promise, as she bad upward of two bohIred of his letters which rlie considered would slabllsli her case. Whether she shrank from be scandal of such pr joeodiugs or whether sb? ras deterred from pqlting it into execution by nsufSoiency of means Is not known, but shs ettled down Into a state jf deep uielaneholji rom which nothing could arouse her, and finaly she procured the fatal drug wbioh put an end o her existence.

It is expected that every one who aspires to be a candidate will be present and entertain the assemblage with speeches. If the speeches are not particularly noted for oratory button-holding will be the order of the day. Creditable to the Trustees of this Township, the Free School* hare commenced ngnin nnd although the approprintJon is somewhat limited, they are determined to give the children the benefit of nil the funds they are entitled to.? Why would it not be proper during the coming campaign for the candidates for the Legislature to devote at least ten minutes to informing their constituents and friends thoir ideas on tho Free School System, and, give assurance, if eleeted, they will do something for the rising generation. As the system stande npw, it is a humbug, an impositi:n, not only on tJ?o people but on tho children ; for what benefit is two months of sohool in the Spring, o?e month in the Summer, nnd the oilier nine months spent in playing, hunting and working. If the system cannot be better arranged why not do away with the Free Schools entirely T Then parents would know that the only way their children can socure nn education will be by paying for a private teaelier. This is a <pies?ion eminently worthy of notice and should be oonrsidered an essential one in the selection of candidates from this county, for to-day this topic is more discussed among parents than the supremacy of either political party.
