[ pii rat ion for the public. It was a cun- J.' igly w sit 'en document, purporting to be j call for a convention of the Farmers and 1 smc who sympathised with "the Farmers 1 ovemcnt,'' to discuss measures of reform ^ id redress in what is termed abuses and t itravagsnccs in the State government; but t IICU MOWII iO II Biritl vviioifttvuvu v' ,,u , caning. it was a call issued by ceitsin mem- , ?rs of I lie Executive Committee of the Farers Association, to accomplish a certain movement" under the protended sanction nd authority of the Farmers Association, y which Tillman should bo put before the coplc as the choice of its members for the \ igh posi'ion of Governor of the State ; and o fores al the action of the Democratic State '(invention, by presenting to that body > , aiu^U' icd ?l^kct ejection. " noii* "Ml Should the Democratic Convention refuse I 0 confirm the nomination of Tillman and .'oil, we cannot conjectlrc the course Mr. rillman and his followers will pursue during lampaign. Kwr since we can rcincmbcr, the cry of 1 t'cut nn?l dpied ticket," the "King Ruled he Convent on," has been sounding in our nrs at every dec ion; but if there ever was i "cut ami dried ticket", and a convention tiled by a ring, it appears to us that the Fartiers Convention held in Columbia last week the most unlilusirngly ring-ruled body if men we ever heard of, judging from the uiblished proceedings. It was as plainly 'cut and dried" to consummate tlie plans of lie 1 illinan-.Shcll-Irliy-Tolbcrt faction, ns (ould be devise 1. Tillman went there, lie uiuounccd, with the pfatform in his pocket, svritton entirely by himself, and when it was fljTTpfe'f, he told the convention they had ' wallowed Tillmanisui whole, but he did not M- the convention ^to swallow Tillman Othough from the following extract from his ipccch.it is evident that lie believed the nachincry was set for the convention to wallow him also, as a necessvry assistant to Is digestive powers; Von hive adopted a platform. What is lie use or having a platform unless you put man before the people who knows it, enorscs it, has slept over it, ami can explain it, ? the people, ami fight for it hmiI give it life ml force'/ 1 <lon't ask you to he your leader, tut If you put me there you iuny be sure lint I'll light for it. 1 have been villificd ml abused by the press.

When the vote was taken upon ll>? g ? ? thntf^*"^1 latlons he made, it was ftdopTtiiij > clear injority of one or two, whloh was such a irpr'sc to those who had gono there supasing they had s large majniity for noniinaous, that the announcement of tho vote as delayed until one of the ring went among c delegates and induced a sufficient nunarhange their votes to defeat the ijueslion. In the matter of the delegations from Spartihurg, it appears to us that if delegates in ah of the delegations were entitled to seats, due regard for justice and light would ivc given each delegation an equal number representatives in the convention, instead that i n'y ('! !> of the delegation opposed making iioiiiinations were admitted, to :ht opposed. Both Mr. Tillman ami Mr. Shell appeared ry anxious to remove any suspicion that JV rest Oil the minds of tlio mnvonlinn KJftvr as we know and hnvc ever hcarJ, we in't believe any one doubts t hoir democracy. c do not, l>ut we know them to be impctusmcii, of strong prejudices, and honestly nfess we doubt their judgment and discrcin, as leaders. We neither doubt their ' tnocracy or honesty of intentions, t wo do not, and cannot, endorse ir tvery doulufnl methods of controll? conventions and making nominations ; ' , as Mr. Shell said, when he discovered it theword "nomination" sounded too mdatory, making a "suggestion." c Mr. Tillman has a perfect right to aspire ^ the high position of fJovernor of South rolina and to adopt every honorable . ' \ aus of securing it. It is a laudable aiiibi11 ; and his friends have an eipial right to ' all in their power to nominate and elect a; lot it does look so very inconsistent, put it mildly, for one set of men aspiring ? office to denounce another set, who may j are in office for practicing ringism, isi?m, injustice, ite., and then adopt tho ne means to accomplish the miiic ends, j themselves, that we feel it our duty to ^ ak of it.

Saxtit, March 81.?Mr. Kditor.?I had the pleasure of attending again, the Union County baptist Sunday School Convention, that always gives me such an amount of information and pleasure, and it is my wish to give you, all Sunday School people, and the readers generally, a condensed report of the meeting. The convention convened with the Mt. Joy church, at Kcltou, on Friday 28th inst. This was the 18th session of the ,bodV|*On aftciww^'xflhehhSlfmSPP^J^eittoed about all of the evefeing. The/? \5lre only six schools heard from?Schools seemed to be very indifferent, or. were too bu<y to bother with it ?nevertheless, the meeting was quite intcretting, and there was some important l?la;??? l :.i__ ,i._ ii i...? /u.iiiivoo umionvivu, utr'ivivo uiu ntiiuii, mil nice and cheerfully given sum of $14 75, which will find its way through this convention, iuto foreign mission fields, that, perhaps, would otherwise have been spent for 1 ghtness. There was a noticablc absenco of a'l of the appointed speakers, except two, and as the subjects were very important ones, it was thought best that they should be thoroughly discussed, therefore that part of the programme was postponed until the next meeting, and prcaening was instituted instead, after other business was gotten through with. A section of the constitution, which provided <""? ?W?!nn of officers for one ** meeting only was amended, to extend tho official term of the officers of tho convention to one yenr. On this amendment, Ilcv. B. 0. Lampley made n forcible speech, by way of explanation, saying that the convention was already organized, and had been for several years, and under the proposed amendment the olbccrs of the body would have authority over it. which they had not had before, only for the time it was sitting. When the announcenic'if on the first d?y was made that this resolution would he offered, there was considerable objections, but after the explanation the body was so completely satisfied that there was not a single dissenting vote. The convention extended an invitation to llev. M. B. Kelly of the Methodist, and other visiting brethren, to scats in the convention, which was accepted by Brother Kelly. After the enrollment of delegates, the following officers were elected for this meeting: Pres., Dr. I,. E. Mcador; Vice-President, Dr. Hoht. Little; Sec., E. W.Jeter; Treas., II. K. Keaifo Before adjournment, the following were ? elected ns ollicers for the reinnindcr ofitbe year, under the amendment, which avi.&Lc three more meetings ; Pros., .1, II. ltnudolph; Vice-President, Dr. 11. Little: Sec., B. W. Jeter; Trens., II. F. Senile. These were elected by ballot and is entirely the choice of the convention. After calling the roll, as is now the custom, just before the body adjourns, the following proved to he t tie delegates in attendance, and the schools represented : llctdah.?W. 11. Crosby and Miss Addie Crosby. Mt. Joy.?Dr. II. Little, .). D. doing, Dan. (lamer, J. G. Going. Philippi.?F. M. Adams, J. II. Tracy, Win. Vaughn. Salem.?K. IV. Jeter, (V. (). Jeter. Union ?Dr. L. B. Meador, llev. II. C. Lampley, Mrs J. II. McKissick. Bethesda.?No de'egates, but a contribution. After tendering a vote of thanks to the Mt . Joy people for their generous entertainment and hospitality, so cordially extended to all delegates and visitors, the convention adjourned, to meet at Philippi on Friday u*vu11 rorfci> inj*nty Vtel-v tf> mi Sunday, from John 'J: a,.. collection amounting to $11 S7 was taken for Ministerial Kducntion. . The delegates aDondcd Sunday School lliat morning, si-v a well conducted School, and heard an excellent lecture on the lesson by the teacher of the llible class, Dr. Little. Before I close 1 will say to all of the Sunday Schools that the people of Philippi ire exceedingly anxious that the June Meetng shall he a large and decidedly successful int.', mm woiiiujpa gmil ,or mem " OCglll vorking it up now, ami arouse themselves Yoin the lethargy that so many scorn to luivo alien into.
