J Fellow cilizrnt : The candidates nominated by the Slate Democratic Convention at Columbia are worthy of lite support of the whole people. No other political body will, or ran, present to you candidates for State offices who have equal claims to your confidence. The Democracy of South Carolina have received the nominations with unfeigned satisfaction, and are determined to i led their candidates. It will be an unmixed blessiug to the State, however, if there shall be a truce to political strife, nad Jioncst men, with honest purpose and without regard to their political associations in the past unite in voting for the upright, capable nud faithful candidates who are now before the people. The Democracy cannot be expected to continue to load themselves down with taxation for the benefit of their former opponents, if these persii-t in preferring political tramps or imported vngnbonds to Carolinians of proved worth and acknowledged merit. The principles declared by the State Convention as tormulatiug the objects and intentions of the Democratic party are intelligible, liberal and progressive. They look to the preservation of Honest Home Rule as the paramount need of good citizens of every conditio^. in life, and they pledge to all the people the just administration of equal laws, and ecouomy with efficiency in the conduct of the Government. In the broader arena of National affairs the South Carolina Democracy stand pledged to the reform of the tariff system, so as to lessen the burdens on the people, and to the reform of the civil service as a moans of purifying politics. When the political workers shall no longer have a hundred thousand Federal offices as a lure and bait lor their hungry dependents, the power of combinations of unscrupuh us politicians will assuredly be broken, and fur every candidal*, within his party, there will b* a fair fi.eld and no favor.? The Democracy demand likewise that the Federal Government, hy liberal appropriations from the treasury for educational purposes, help the Southern States to convert the present and rising generation of freedmen into intellige.it and responsible citizen). In all things the South Carolina Democracy solemnly bind themselves, before their fellow countrymen, to pursue that public policy which willTnake the whole people content, by securing their rights, guarding their privileges and fostering their growing prosperity. The Slate Executive Committee* remiud their Democratic fellow-citizens that, while the control of South Carolina has been won by the party, and with that control has coine the intelligent administration of governmental affairs and peace in every Carolina home, the power of the Democracy can only bo maint*in?ri ?n.i by eternal vigilance nnd untiring effort. The Democracy are not so strong that they can aflord to disagree or divide. Disunion would now be as perilous as in the historic campaign six years ago, when the State was wrested from the grasp of the ignoiant uud corrupt. Toleraljon there should be within the party lines. There is ample scope and verge there for the assertion of individual views and opinions. But those who abandon the party or oppose it. because the measures they prefer have not been adopted, make themselves Ihe enemies of good government,' whether they choose to masquerade as Independents or boldly flaunt the black flag of the Republican party. Political solidarity is at important as ever before, nnd there is less excuse than in any previous canvass for discontent and desertion. Opposition to the Democratic candidates and th.c Democratic platform, in this campaign, must be taken as proof of . invincible ignorance, or of trreed and mnhitinn that tunui.i sacrifice the brightest hopes of the State for the gratification of personal desires. The Slate Committee earnestly urge their fellow-Democrats to exert themselves to the utmost to bring out a full vote, and to spare no < pains to swell the tanks of the colored Democracy. By well considered laws, repenting and ballot-box stuffing 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 thh satisfaction of knowing I hat, 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, the Democracy can command the intelligent support and continuing co-operation of the colored people. To this end no labor.no persuasion, no argument should be spared.? Ho will the Democracy be proud of the triumph theyshall enjoy, as the lawful and legitimate results of just administration, wise nominations, liberal principles, and systematic and unflagging work. This we owo to the State, a id we owe it to the traditions of the master-race to which we belong. Viotory we must have: and Honor with Tictorj. Jambs F. I/.i.ar, Chairman. 0 I). Brtan, XVm, Monro, J.

For the Times, Compliment to a Union Lxiy. Mr. Editor.?It is always pleasant for an old citizen of good old Union to see and hear of the success of any of the young people of the county in any sphere of life, but it is particularly graiifying when we hear that one of our fiir 'daugh. lers has achieved soccers, by dint of haM atudy and persistent determination, ill a sphere that will in ike her moral and intellectual iuAtience fell upon the lives of the risingigeneralw^, * You may not know, sir, that Union provided one of tho successful nine out of thirty-Ave teachers, who had "reached the very high standard of scholarship required" by the faculty of the Normtl Institute, just close! at Columbia, to entitle them to reoeive the oertiAoate of that highest scholastic tribunal, of their proAciency and Alness to teach. The examination, wrfsnodoubt, as rigid as the standard of proAciency was high and exactingand it required more than ordinary nerve, par ttcutariy in a m vien y >ung ikij, io meet 1110 scrutiny and answer readily the searching questions of such a body of profound scholars and teachers, therefore the success of Miss Kate M. Gregory, of Cross Keys, who was awarded acer. tificate, is the more creditable to herself. But, Mr. Editor, to Mrs Clifford, of Clifford's Seminanry y?ur town, must we gire a share of the eredit for Miss Gregory's success, as it was in that institution she receired the last and most important part of her sohoo^ ediioatian. In order that I may be perfectly understood by your readers, please publish the following extract from the dosing exeroises of the Nofesal Institute: Col. Thompson, then announoed the reenjjt of the examinations which were held yesterday Thirty fire teachers applie I for certificates, but only twenty nine finished their papers. The faculty recommended only nine teachers as freting reached the very high standard of scholarship required. Those who made on their ex. aminations 90 or orer In a possible 100 were granted certificates to leach for three years in the ooiumon schools of the State without' fur' ther examinations : those who made 80 and ever were granted certificntes'to teach I wo for yfnrs, and those who made 70 and orer were granted, certificates to teaeh for one year. rTho?e whotreceired three years' certificates were Mr. C C.

Capers Decline*. Oen. Capers baa written a letter to the State Democratic Executive committee, declining the candicsoy for' State superintendent of education. In his letter of dec ination he says: "If elected to this office by the people I am bound in honor to enter upon the earnest discharge of its duties. lam satisfied, after a careful review of the d?*t?* .f ik* oflft**, ** defined in the statute, that I could not be a faithful suoerintendant of edu cation and remain the rector of my parish. The claims of the laltler are paramount and must command my unqualified consideration." In order to give full time for consideration and to receive nominations of those preferred as candidates for superintendent of education, the Executive Committee postponed filling the vacancy until the meeting to be held on Wednesday, September 13th, nt which meeting all the county chairmen arc invited to be present for purposes of conference. A Fiebala Coalition. The ever vigilant Columbia correspondent of the Xiic$ and Courier gives us the following insight into what we are to expect from a coalition between all parties in this State to defeat the democratic party : I learned this morning from a trustworthy source that, as the result of "the mysterious conference" which was-held in Columbia last January, a coalition has been formed between the Greetibackers, Independents and republicans to parcel out the offices in S uth v-arolina; the plan being to allow the colored people twenty representatives in the lower house of the General Assembly and five in the Senate. The agreement also gives to the KeDublicans three of tlio Congressional districts without regard to color. It is presumed that this article was inserted for the special benefit ol E. IV. M. Mackey. Uy the agreement the Greenbackers are left free to fight for everything else in the State from Columbia to the seaboard, with the assurance that the Republicans will support them in all their efforts to break the solidity of the Democratic ranks. It is understood that in many of I lie upper counties no fight will be made by the coalitionists for any of the offices, the Democratic majorities being so large as to prevent the possibility of success. ?.

All the living things are well cared for, nnd areeither from their kind, their I size or their nature, rarely seen in traveling shows. We have visited many similar shows in our lime, hut more to praise and le->s to blame we never saw undercanvass. One oft he most novel features of the exhibition is a herd of trained stallions, who d-t foats usually seen performed hy elephants.

August '25.?As the train containingtr.ocolored prisoners named Savage and James reached Madison this morning, it was met by abcut ont hundred persons, twelve or fifteen of whom rushed into the train and riddled the prisoperi with bullets. The agent of the railroad did nol suspect any violence until a short time before the arrival of the train, when he attempted tc telegraph eaoh way, but found the wires cul.? fie then ran up the track and signalled the conductor not to stop, hut some one had boarded the train and unooupled two rear cars. Tin prisoners had been convicted of the murder ol Frank Patterson, which occurred on the 8lh of February, 1881, at Madison, in a room where the testimony was being taken in the contested election case or Btsbee vs. rtnley. A new trial hod been granted by the Supreme Court and they were being conveyed from Tallahasaee tc Jasper to undergo that trial when they were murdered as detailed above.

A CARD FROM CAPTAIN BROTLKJ. Anderson, 8. C., August 15, 1882 I ( Mr. Editor:?I have noticed in the Reform I Signal ofthe 10th instant that I base been suggested by one who signs himself "A Greenback- | er" as a candidate fur Governor of the State.? | The nomination has been made in terms far | more complimentary to myself than I have ever | deserved, and i am persuaJed that the writer of theartioie in question was governed rather hy bis kindly personal feeling for me than by considerations affecting the fitness or the propri- , ety of the nomination. 1 am. however, very , grateful to him for the honor he has done me, | but 1 do not know that I was evermore surpris- , ed than when the paper containing the nominatiou was brought to my attention. It is to be presumed that when persons are , nominated for office it is because they are not ( only qualified for the discharge of the duties thereof, but because they represent the princi- ' pies of the party nominating them. Now, 1 am not at all in accord with the principles of the Greenback party, so far as I have been able to gather them from their various platforms of principles. They propose to prohibit the national banks from issuing bil's designed to circulate as money, and to make them banks of disoount and deposit. That all bills designed tociroulateas money shall be issued hy the general government, and in an amount sufficient for lull employment of labor, the equitable distribution of the products of the country and the requirements of business, fixing a minimum amount according to population, and otherwise regulating its volume so as to give as near as may he about (50.00 per capita for business purposes. To do this it will be necessary, as they state, to issue in additiou to the paper money now in circulation the enormiui sum ot Si ,000,000.001>, and it is proposed that the greenbacks so to ne issued shall he a legal tender in the payment of all debts, public and private. A vety significant feature of the greenback policy is that, they denounce the forced resumption of specie pay ments. Now, gold and silver money has been adopted by all civilised countries on account of the use ful qualities it possesses as a medium of exchange, and it has an intrinsic value according to the amount of the pure metal it contains, but it is only a commodity and is subject to all the fluctuations of other commodities according to its scarcity or abundance. On the contrary, paper money possesses no intrinsic value, nut when it is convertuble irotuediately on demand into gold or silver, then it will pass at par, because he who receives it does so with the confidence that on demand lie can realise its nominal value in the precious metals which will at all limes bo receiveJ in affecting the exchanges of country. Its value consists in its convertibility. There must be a certain et-' tio between the paper money and the gold and silver money of every country in order to secure a safe and reliable medium of exchange. If the paper money which the Greeubackers propose shall be issued by the government is to in nrnnnrl inn In nnmiliktimi without rAforPii<*A ww... r -r-* r-i ? ? - *? to its convertibility into coin, and which is to he iaferred from their opposition to the resumption of specie payments, then it could never obtain any other circulation than that which is enforced bylaw, which is contrary to the principles of trade and ,the doctrines taught by all political economists. I have said this much by the way of showing that ( am not a-Oreenbacker or with any tendencies in that direction, as my nomination might seetn to imply. But there is another consideration of weight with me why the doctrines of that party should not be agitated at this lime I think the great question before us is, how are we to preserve our civilisation and rights f property frqm the supremacy of an .nferior race? It is one of the grandest problems ever submitted to any people for theii consideration. 1 That a race possessed of properly aud intelliI gence, because it happens to be in the minority, should be subjected to the supremacy of an inferior race possessed of neither, is subversive of Republican institutions an.l the he-t interest f society. That both races roust live together is I a moral and political necessity, an I that they I should do so in hartnony, is to the interest of > both races. I know of no solution of the prohi lent, other than that of granting to the colored > race all the rights he may he entitled to. But 1 at the same time it is for his as well as our own 1 interest that we should maintain our own su> premacy. But the great difficulty in the way of harmony ' is, that the Republican party is determined, if possible, to secure bis vole for members of Coni irPMfl ami PrAdiilanlial *1 anlrtra al laaat atttl t?? r enable them to do so Ihjy are forever fanning the Ares of disoord and appealing to hie prejudices of race, color and previous condition, to secure his fidelity to the party. They do not desire harmony between the races, or that intelligehce shall have its due weight in adjusting the difficulties with which we have to contend. It is to their interest to keep the races as wide apart as possible. Aadjwhen the white race, feeling that the great duly before them is the preservation of their civilisation, and, therefore, act together, as one man, the Republican party eries *UaJ ?ylsia thvvSHd BSutltr' We Can not afford to do otherwise, when the issue involves such important consequences to ourselves.? Therefore it is that I deprecate the agitation of the Qreenhack doctrines, because any division, of the white race is preoisely what is desired by the Republican party, I am a Democrat and [ belong to a Democrat io c ub, and 'Oreenbaoker' . is, Iborefors. mistaken when he says that I never wss a member of any political organisation. I am not a Oreenbaoker and I know of no consideration which could induce me to sacrifice 0 my convictions of right and duty by beoomiug * the candidate of a party whose principles ( could 1 not represent, even if I was assifred of an eleo lion. * Por these reasons I very respectfully, but most positively, deoli'ie the nomination tendered me. "Oreenbaoker" was right when he said I was not a seeker of ffioe.

They were out on the green, also a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, and the stow J ~4N| pressed Vance for a speech. He refused, but they would take no refusal. Finally bemcunttd the stand uod said : "Ladies akd Gentlemen: I was raised in Buncombe County with a boy named Merriment. We went to ochoot together, and I remember ?oe day we had a light, and after a sharp rough md tumble I got him down Stnd gouged kitn jood. After it was over and we proposed to make friends Merrimon said he was willing if I would only assure him ot one thing, nod that was that I didn't intend to gouge him. I earn red him that I didn't and we made it up. 1 often heahd Gits say he wanted to be a great lawyer; he wanted to be a great jurist, and bisgreatlost ambition was to be Qorernor of North CamUna. Well, my fellow cltiiens, he has been both a great lawyer and agrcal jorist, and. Providence permitting, we will, on the 7tb of November, make litm our next Governor." With a speech something ofthis sort,said with telling effect as only Vance oan do it, he descended the stand, and had not raoro than touched the ground when a beautiful girl about 16 years old, ran recklessly to him from the crowd, and. throwing both nrins Around hia neck, aha gave _ him a k:aa.
