Orr's leading the members ot the Wallace House into the the State House in 1STG, I was reminded of an incident that occurred on the same clay. We got in and were seated when the mernbsrj of the Mackey House came and the utmost confusion began. It seemed as if there would he a general fight, I had no arms to defend myself, so I went out and up to John 0. .Dial's and procure! a good pistol ami a handful of ca i ridges, and returned at once to the State House; but when I presented myself at the door ? ix~t irceooM nve get in, as tiiff Laurens and Edgefield delegations bad Uoa counted . out. I felt that I was in a dilemma and turned off into the lobby, and found my friend and oil*ague, D. Wade Anderson, sitting on a box looking as forlorn as 1 fe't. 1 took my seat by his side, but in a short time the pirtly form of that noble patriot, James N. Lipscomb, deceased, appeared near us, alio at once took in the situation, and went back in the hall and in a few minutes wo were cilled to the doors, where stood the above named, Co'. A. C. Haskell, Col. Jus. L. Orr and John L). Brown, scrgeant-at-amis for the Wollace II on so. These brave men formed theme elves into a hollow square, pushing back LTcir opponents, and wo | assed through to our seats abtut as much relieved as prisoners turned cutof jnil. It looked as if this would precipitate the fight, but the determined fearing of these men and the ptudct.ce of Speaker Wallace averted tlie storm. Who but r.n ingratc coull forget this scene and feel grateful to tlnse brave men for tlie'v promptness in ri-king their lives to ehi Id us? And this is but one of the many incidents that could be tohl of their unselfish risks for the good of their prostrate State ; and the mall honor of Lieutenant Governor is very email compensation for the services rendered then. One of these men has been abused beyond measure lor unity purposes.

We ask special attention to the adicrtisrmeut calling for a meeting of the lemocrats < f this town to consider the odr'sah 1 ty of hoi ling n priutnry election to ' toRi vate car.di latca for Municipal Officers. We believe the timo has coins in this town r r the white people to lay aside oil personal piques and prejudices and unito ia controls lie town, through their own chosen officers. We have nothing to say against the former Jouucil or any individual member of it; but ive do complaiu of the way nnd means by ah'clt thn elections heretofore hare been car.ieJ. It has bccomo a fixed belief that iho white people cannot elect a ticket of llnir choice, yimply because they will not uuito for that purpose ; and the fa'nlily if every pub'ic enterprise eugg.'S'oi and discussed for the gold of the town may be ascribed to want of couccnlrntcd action among our c tizeno. The people do not un te with tho Town Council, and tho Town Council do not unite with the people, in any n atter of importance f.?r the welfare of the whole, just because the Council is really elected by one class of our population that does not, for it cannot, harmonize with tho oihvF. W'o may try lo'.shut our eyes as much as we pler.se upon the cause of the town's decay, but it is as plain as the noonday sun that want of un'ty of feeling and action is the sole cause, and the town election is the root of the difficulty.

The platform ol that party proposes to increase enormously the pension payments to federal voterans, The old confederates who came ont of the war beafen, despo Jed and ruined, has struggled upward gradually, bennDg many heavy burdens One of the heaviest has been his share of the pensions pai l the soldiers ot the oilier side. Much of (his ho has paid like a man without grumbling, as part ol the penalty of defeat, a tributo levied by the conquerors on the conquored. Now, however, he may begin to thiuk that the tribute is becoming more tluyn is light. Nobody has helped him. No public treasury has been opened to him. He has scudled along, sometimes on ono leg, sometimes with ono arm, nnd done the best he could. Even iu his own section lie is beceraing out of date. He is told that youngir and shiftier men must come to tho front and that war service does not count any more by somparisoii with servico to now political ;ods and in packing and manipulating contentions and proclaiming new doctrines of [vditics without knowing anyth ng about hem.
