Kwr since we can remember, the cry of cut and (lriod ticket," the "lling Ruled > Convent'on," lias been sounding in our rs at every clcc'ion; but if there ever was 'cut nnd dried ticket", and a convention led by n ring, it appears to us that the Fnr:rs Convention held in Columbia last week is the most unblush'ngly ring-ruled body men we ever heard of, judging from the blished proceedings. It was as plainly ut nnd dried" to consummate the plans of o Tilhnan-Shell-Irby-Tolbert faction, as uld be devised. Tillman went there, he nounccd, with the pfatform in his pocket, rittcn entirely by himself, nnd when it was JTCIfid. he told tUo convention they had twallowcd Tillranuism whole, but he did not k the convention Jtto swallow Tillman though from the following extract from his icech, if. is evident that he believed the nchinory was set for the convention to rallow him also, as a necesstry assistant to i digestive powers: You hive adopted a platform. What is e uso of having a platform unless you put man before the people who' knows it, onirics it, has slept over it, and can explain it, the people, and fight for it and give it life id forco? I don't ask you to be your leador. it if you put me there you may bo sure at I'll fight for it. I have been villified id abused by the press. Columns of abuse ive been heaped upon my head. It is true at I have also said some harsh tilings, but en you see 1 don't claim to be an angel. , a mm smites me on one cbeek, I dou't norally turn the other to him. 1 am just Edgefield Democrat, and when any one mps on mo I'm going to knock him ortry." ythzn tho vote was taken jj| tWs bemadc," it wasTd^SSSTcIoaT yority of ono or two, wliloh was suoh a rpr sc to those who"liad gone there K1IJV. ising they had a large majority for nomina>ns, that the announcement of tho vote is delayed until one of the ring went among e delegates and induced a sufficient numchnnge their votes to defeat the question. In the mat tor of tlid delegations from Sparuburg, it nppcirs to ua that if delegates in th of the delegations were entitled to seats, due reomrd for iustieo and rioht would ,ve given each delegation an equal number representatives in the convention, instead that on'y two of tho delegation opposed making nominations were admitted, to ;ht opposed. Doth Mr. Tillman and Mr. Shell appeared ry anxious to remove any suspicion that iy rest 011 the minds of the convention |?yLas we know and have ever heard, we iirnSeliovc any one doubts thoir democracy, e do not, .-JJutwe know them to be impetus men, of strong prejudices, and honestly nfess wo doubt their judgmont and discre>n, as leaders. Wo neither doubt their imocracy or honesty of intentions, it wo 1)0 not, and cannot, endorse iir tvery doubtful methods of controllg conventions and making nominations ; , as Mr. Shell said, when he discovered at theword ''nomination" sounded inn uidatory, making a "suggestion." Mr. Tillman lias a perfect right to aspire the high position of Governor of South rolina anil to adopt every honorable tans of sccuriv.g it. It is n laudable ambi>n ; and his friends have an equal right to all in their power to nominate and eleet in; but it does look so very inconsistent, put it mildly, for one set of men aspiring office to denounce another set, who may arc in office for practicing ringism, seism, injustice, &c., and then adopt the mo means to accomplish the ssmo ends, r themselves, that we feel it our duty to eak of it. That is just the way the ocecdings of the Fanners Convention Columbia lost week appears to us.

[ The University students held a meeting nt 2:80 o'clock jeMordav.afternoon to considor u jhe^chttrges rcosmtty made ns to tlw action of vwimu wi uivir unmoor (luring ana tnir the adjournment of the Farmers' Convention. A i committee of nine was appointed to draft resolutions in reference to the matter. , This committco mado a report to a second meeting of (he students held at 11 o'clock last night after the public debate of the Eu[ phradian Society. The resolutions reported , by the committee were adopted by the meeting with certain amendments, end wore i submitted to President McBrydc, who consented to their publication. The resolutions are as follows : , H'Aerea#, it has boon brought to the notice of tho students of tho South Carolina University that certain damaging statements have have been circu'atcd in regsrd to the actions of some of the students on tho night of the 27th instant, therefore, be it Resolved, That the fol'owing statements are false; (a) that a body of studonts | ^followed Captain T llman to his hotel; (b) ih&t they sang "rile" songs ; (c) that they threaTOiw^PJo <?Q personal violence to his . . .

Witliors, Commitieo TI1K CNIVK1SSITY COUXCII. met at noon yestcrJay and remained in session two hours investigating the matter referred to above. The council met ngiin at 6 o'clock Inst evening but adjourned without taking action, its sessions thus far having keen devoted t? investigating the matter with a view of ascertaining what portion of current reports were correct aud what exaggerated or false. The names of a number of eludpnis, said .Un-heLAbout forty, havo bpen submitted to cases will be investigated, to arrive at the individual responsibility of the studeuts concern?1!. President McBryde has never receivo 1 any communieation on the subject from Captain Tillman and thoso who signed the open letter, but will communicate with them after the council takes action. A delegate from this county, on tho day be returned from the convention spoke to lis of tho on luct of the students or that oooasion, and recltod to us most sf the charges made ngainst them in the above oomplaint. Whether the demonstration by the students was as ba 1 as reported or not, tho fact that tliero was au unfavorable demonstration by tho students, at that time, was not merely impolitic, but insulting to a conit mention of highly ro3pectablo and patriotio mctnrihDwero exercising a right that belongs T^Ww^merloan citizen, and deserves, as tt mJl!^MMj|^&^tverc*t cua damnation 01 every ox ine ' University. It wilL^^raHefinJury to thst time-honc^d iusffiution than any notion of the convention, or any roomber of it, coull possibly inflict upon it. It will not do to attempt to plaoe the blame upon tho shoulders of "a few indiscreet students.'* The institution was supposed to be on its bes'. behavior, espocialiy at tint particular timo, and ii is natural t* suppose that if tho slutji cnts oould not be restrained then, by the Faculty or the future welfare of the institutions, it is time a change should be maio in its man" agemcut;aud its enenrot will use it meroir lessly before the peoplo in the coming oam% paign, with witnesses in every countyto sus, tain the report. To show that we are not alone i in believing that such will bo the effect of i the action of the stndeuts, we take the following ffow an editorial in the Greenville I Netcs / i It is too late to repair the misohief that has been done. Tho demonstration is worth a great many votes to Captain Tiliman 1 Ilis friands have the right to ure it in his favor end we Luppose they will. Hundreds r of voters will be disposed to resent the interference with their fellow voters nnd citizens and they can resent it most effectually by making Captain Tillman govornor and ex-officio trustee and foroing hior down , the throata of those who have wautonly insulted hiin.

There was a noticablo absence of a'l of the appointed speakers, except two, and as the subjects were very important ones, it waa thought best that they should bo thoroughly discussed, therefore that part of the proEmmo was postponed until the next meetw, and prencning was instituted instead, after other business was gotten through with. A section of the constitution, which provided for the election of officers. for "One* * "**\ meeting only was amended, to extend the \ official term of tho officers of the convention -r to one year.

When the announcemet on the first day was male that this resolution would bo offered, there was considerable objections, but after the explanation the body was so completely satisfied that there was not a singlo dissenting vote.

" Whereat, The Agricultural Committee in tho House in recommending the passage of tho bill known as the Compound Lard Bill, have shown a dosire to attack an important industry of the South, one which has enabled our planters, and tenants on farms, most of whom, as a class, need all assistance possible, to realise large cash values." '" Whtrtat, Cotton 8eed Oil, a purely table oil, free from disease, is a composite * part of said lard, and sesms to be the one article objected to bj advooatos of the bill, is pronounood by able physicians and chcmUte as a pure article of food, and should not be outlawed, but more largely usep when compounded with 'puro le*f lard and leaf>Jp^ in preference to the so-called pure bog lara, made of unhealthy flesh, with no care for the public health," and " Whereat, This legislation would benefit one industry by destroying another, and greatly incieavo the price ef an article of food without increasing its value or healtbfulness, and enable "corners" to be made and fictitous values to rule where it is now almost impossible on account of tho abundant supply obtainable ; and " Whereat, The government does not need the revenue proposed to be derived from this industry : "Ho it Rttolved, That we object to that part of the bid which proposes to tax compound lard or cotton seed oil, bit have no objection to branding packages containing this lard so that all may know its true nature providing that the so-called 'pure lard' is also branded that it may be known of what it is made." It was also resolved that each Senator and Representative from this State be furnished v f with a copy of the resolutions, aud urging that that they do their utmost to prevent the / passage of the bill. ? ~ South Carolina Chai'tattquaxs.?The minu'es of th<f proceedings of the second annual meeting of the State Chautauqua Con- a f vention of South Carolina, held at Spartan- ; burg, Aug. 21st and 22nd 1880, recently to- w-'jt sued, give some interesting._f>?I OhtutuiniiA HT 1 one cTrSr^W^miUBBPB^^^^ '^Hfl 1 he offloers of the ChSuuomu ftnte Con - fl?
