follow titiztn* : Tlie candidates nominated by
the State Democratic Convention nt Columbia ure
worthy of the support of the whole people. No
other political body will, or run, present to you
candidates for State otlloes ? ho have equal claims
to your confidence. The Democracy of South
Carolina have received tlie nominations with unfeigned
satisfaction, and arc determined to ideal
their candidates. It will be an unmixed blessiug
to the Stale, however, if there shall be n
truce to political strife, and honest men, with
honest purpose and without regard to their political
associations in the past unite in voting
lor the upright, capable and faithful candidates
who arc now before the people. The Democracy
cannot be ex reeled to couiini?? .? loa.i
Helves down willi luxation t"? r the benefit ottheir
t'ormcr opponents, if these persist in preferring
political tramps or imported vagabonds to Carolinians
of proved worth and acknowledged merit.
The principles declared by ihoStute Convention
as loriuttlutiitg the objects and inlctition^of
the Democratic party are iulclligible, liberal and
progressive. They look to the preservation of
IIon'8t Home Uule as the parutin not need of
good citizens of every conditio., in life, and they
pledge to all the people the just administration
of eqnnl laws, nnd economy with efficiency in
the conduct of the Government. In the broader
arena of National affairs the South Carolina
Democracy stntid pledged to the reform of the
tariff system, so as to lessen the burdens on the
people, nnd to the reform of the civil service as
a means of purifying politics. When the political
workers shall no longer have a hundred
thousand Federal offices as a lure aud bail lor
.1-i^n ittivn. iho jiawar <?f combinations
of unscrtrptih us politicians will assuredly
be broken, ami for every candidate, within his
party, there will be a fair field and ya tavor.?
The Democracy demand likewise that ilie Federal
Government, by liberal appropriations from
the treasury for educational purposes, help the
Southern Slates to convert the present and rising
generation of freedmen into intelligent and responsible
citizen). In nil things the South Carotins
x'craocracy solemnly bind themsetves, hetore
tbeir fellow countrymen, to |>ursue that public
policy which will|uiake the whole people content,
by securing their rights, guarding thei. privileges
nnd fostering their growing prosperity.
The Slate Executive Cotniniltee remind their
Democratic fellow-citizens that, while the control
of South Carolina has been won by the party,
and with that control has come the intelligent
administration of governmental affairs nnd peact
in every Carolina home, the power of the Demo
cracy can only bo maintained and consolidated
by eternal vigilance and untiring etfurt. The
Democracy arc uot so strong that they can
ntlord to disagree or divide. Disunion would
uow be ns perilous as in the historic campaign six
years ago, when- five S?a;e was wrested from the
grasp of the ignoiunl and corrupt. Toleration
there should be wit bin the party lines. There
is ample scope and verge there for the nssevtion
of individual views and opinions, llut those
who abandon the party or oppose it. because the
measures they prefer have not been adopted,
make themselves the enemies of good government,
whether they choose to masquerade ns Independents
or boldly Haunt the black fl tg of the Republican
party. Political solidarity is ar important
ns ever before, nnd there is less excuse than
in any previous canvass fur discontent aud
desertion. Opposition to the Democratic candidates
and the Ifein tcratic platform, in this campaign,
must be taken ns proof of invincible
ignornuce, or of greel and ambition that would
sacrifice the brightest hopes cf ilia State for the
gratification of personal desires.
The State Committee earnestly urge their
fellow-Democrats to exert themselves to tho
utmost to bring out a full vote, and to SDure no
pains to swell the tanks of iho colore.1 Democracy.
By well considered laws, repeating and
ballot-box slutting are alike guarded against.
The Democracy, therefore, can go into the canvass
with the assurance that the strength of the
opposition will not be increased by trickery or
fraud, and with the satisfaction of knowing that,
in South Carolina, there shall be, beyond dispute.
a free and fair election. By personal
exertion, in exhibiting and explaining to individual
voters the benefits and blessings of Democratic
rule, tlie Democracy can c tintn md the
intelligent support and continuing co-operation
of the colored people. To this end no labor, no
persuasion, no argument should be spared ?
So will the Democracy be proud of the triumph
they shall enjoy, as the lawful and legitimate
results ofjttst administration, v.ise nominations,
liberal principles, and systematic and unflagging
work. This we owe to the State, a id we owe it
to the traditions of the master-rnco to which wc
belong. Victory we must have; nnl llonot
with victory.

al Committee will amount to more, when tlie total
is reached, than has ever heeu raised before
by the same committe* to carry on a congressional
campaign. They say that the teason why
it has resulted so successfully is that there was
au openness about it never before practised ; that
every thing has been above board, officeholders
understand clearly that while they will not offend
any one by not sending !n their assessments,
they certainly will not if they "step up to the
captain's office and settle*' as r:que?ted. It
goes without saying, also, that those who have
subscribed and paid up feel much more comfortable
than those who fear, like George William
Curtis, that they may violate some law by furnishing
tHeir quota to the campaign fund. One
of the States that the committee expect surely to
redeem is Nevada; which went wrong some

The month of August is generally considered <
tie ol the sickly months. It is Always naffest to '
repirs for the Worst. A little csro now may '
>revent very serious oonsequer.oes. It is the
luty of the Town Council to protect its citisens i
rorn all harm, so far as it is possible. 1
The decaying substances which shoun I in tlie J
itreets should be removed At once, and on all '
ipots where unpleasant odors exist a solution of j
topperas should be sprinkled, or dusted with
ilnster of Paris or charcoal dust. Copperas '

converted. A lei ling editorial to day in
the Washington Republican, Mr. Button's organ,
which reflect his views in this part ioul sr. in ay
be taken as a s irt of general or lor. It runs
thus :
"It is sife to siy that nine tenths of the post
efhees in the Confo lorato States aro fillol by
sillier unrelenting, incorrigible, B mrbon Democrats,
orliy sycop't uitie, ii<M8 serving, sunshine
Republicans, wlu so cm luoi themselves politi
cally as to never displease their B mrbon surrotin
lings. Why this c ?n litiou of things exists,
sn l how it w is brought ah nil, it is not neoess iry
now to discuss. Smltce it to say tint the present
Executive foun I it so when lie cwueinto
oTice. Tliecioseqie ice is that the Unite I States
poslolBces oustitute hy far tlie larger number
of the Biurhon politictl agencies. Those nro
the politicil hornets' nests where the devilment
is concocted hef ire elections. The incumbents
hold their places by the recam uon l.itions of
bourbon Congressmen, who have decorated their
truest and most unscrupulous followers with
this mark of their esteem. When the Republicans
have been to numerous in a locality as to
make recommendations imprudent, then one of
those miserable devils who have been Republican
enough to hold otftce, but not Republican
enough to speak a w >rd which e >uld in the least
j?r upon the Biurb in eir, has been trotted out
ngid eulogize] as "a Republic in but a gentleman.'*
These creatures nro, as a rule, loss independent
and self respecting than was the average
negro slave in former times, and they serve
as the fence from belt in I which their B mrbon
clerks pepper the party of which they lieg their
broad. The Republican party does not havu an
equal show with its enemy in the South for tntil
facilities for political documents. If the civil
service reformers really desire I to ace itn plisli a
reform, they would attack this great Bourbon
agency, which has griwn up by degrees, and
which has miio the postofhee a mere Rourbon
political club house. The Democratic party has
a larger number of active political agents at
work in the South drawing government pay than
has its opponents." ? .V. 1'. Herald.
Evins for CoN<ittKss.--In renominating the
lion. J. 11. Evins for Congress, the Democratic
Convention of the Fourth District hns done good
work. In his six years' service at Wi shington.
Congressman Evins has shown himself a faithful
and vigilant representative of his peopto, a
'-working member." yet one who could speak
f>r his State whenever occasion demanded. In
Congress his sound judgment has commanded
the appreciation and praise of his fellow members
from every section ol the Union. Uniting
conservatism with courage, he has been eminently
a safe as well us a fearless nhnnnion ?f h
Carolina. Few Congves-mien are able la do eificicnt
work for their constituents until they have
had tl e experience which several years of service
in Washington give. Congressman livins is
cITicient, laborious and experienced, and his renomination
is an endorsement of his services and
an earnest that the people of his districi desire
a cominuance of the representation which has
8aiistied thein in the past.
It is significant that Congressman Kvins in
Washington has steadfastly advocated the prin
ciples announced hy the recent Democratic Convention
of the Slate which apply to national affairs.
lie has been always fir a revenue tariff,
for civil service reform, for national aid to education,
and against .lay-ltubhellism and the other
principles of the Itepublican party.
A iiong the gentlemen who were candidates
for the nomination and who were defeated, there
aro citizens as capable as Congressman Kvins
and as devoted to their people. The frien Is who
supporte I i hem in t he Convention will naturally
feel regretful at their defeat ; but Ihsy will be
consoled by the knowledge that the nominee of
the Convention is one whose record is bright,
whose nbility is acknowledged, anJ whose experience
is valuable. And tliey will acquiesce
in the favorable verdict of the District and the
State upon lite work of the Couveution?iVrirs
and Courier.

last spoken words of the sufferer were addressed
several days since to the IU?. Mr Evint : "Almost
home," murmured the dying man. His
last writing was to his wife: "My dear, 1 wid
lake whatever nourishment the dootors think
best."
There is universal grief in the city: The bells
were tolled all the morning, and the Capiiol tlio
Customhouse and all prominent buildings draped
in mourning.
