^ Aiken, aueceeded in p?aslag a notloa that thera bo no aommktee oh platform tad resolutions and fhat all taaofuiiooa bo considered on the floor of tbo eonTOBllna '*-! V.\ . .1 Mr. Hatrlaoaof Greeovi^e moved t0 ,rV' ; consider the motion in rogatd (o the appourataat of of a committee oa (hifora. Col. Haskell seconded lh? mo'lon, and aa bo 4M.SO Mr. J M. WaddM remarked totto tore: "that nettles U. Wo don't bare it." ? But tho man reckoned without bis boot.- Cd I Haskell continued, saving 'that whatever poaiti- n South Carolina lakes in the Democratic party to-day intl-t bo done with due deliberation. It isja pby?icAl impossibility to cooiider properly ;tbo revolutions as they im read ?vj*tT the chair. They should bo / exaijiin-.a and aified by a committee of one C?' ?from^ach delegation so ihtt every member can rote knowingly. Mr. Ernest Gary of Edgefield thought that the convention -diould not <*.> i.i?r.>.i.t ? ?J ..< ol>jtct m expressed is the call. Dr. Sampson l'ofc agreed with t'ol. Hoskell. Mr. Jordan made a rousing speech in which lie "gave the snap awoy;" that the caucus had cut aud dried everything Inst night and that there was n > use for the committee to consider any platform and resoSj-* luiious, as every one of ihc 2 f>0 members of the cincus was in honor bound to support til? resolut ons adopted by the oucus. "Now we are asked to let ihiity fivo uieu go ont and do something iu opposition to what was done lost night. If we are wr ing then take advantage of it and make the best of it. If any in an who lit'ended sho caucus and toted for the risdutions goes bock on what he did last night he ought to quit and go home. Mr. Jordan then proceeded to lather I?r rope lor liis favoring the motion. Col. Haskell said lie was astounded to hsir Mr. Jordau's position. Does lie meau to s<y ihat in n Democratic b dy; in a meeting j worn to proteot the best interests of the Slate, that a majority shall exclude a minority from the cousi Jcra'ion of measures of vital moment to the State? In behalf of the minority 1 appeal to you to let us see tha* platform ou which wc are expected to stand, and not let its go out siul sny that in the convention of the people some of the Dunocrats who havs known n > other party, aud who have stood to that patty through wcsl and woe, have been shut out from its consideration. We want one member from each delegation who fan cjme back and tell the others whit they are expected to voto for. Mr. W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, said ho kad the unusual pleasure of entirely agreeing with the distinguished delegate of llicbland. There should bo a committee with members of the minority thereon. A motion to adjourn until a report of this committee was made was lost, as was also a motion to cuter upon tbe e'ecliou of deloga'es to Chioago. Mr. Jordan protested, on tbe ground that these lhirty-6ve committeemen should be present to vote thereon. Mr. 11. E. Hill turned the laugh on Mr. Jordan by shoving his inconsistency, as he had ure viuuiiy declared that the caucus hail cut out the wuik anil there was nothing to do but to approve it. A perfect Bnbel of sounds drowued the speaking and Chairman Taibort h&uiincred. away with his gavel for tif cen ?seconds at a time without effect, lie was pcrsUtsn', however and declare 1 that the conveutiou would suspend until the noise was discontinued. Mt. Sligh reported that the committee on platform and resolutions would not be ready to repoit uu'il ? o'clock. The convenliou then took n recess until 8 o'clock. The convention reconvened at 8 o'clock. Mr. Timntermen, chairman of the committee on platform and resolutions, madetho foilownjr report of resolutions offered in the comi mi ties : iVc, the Democrats of South Carolina, in * con root ion assembled, and representing as ws do the voice and sentiment of the peopla crats, and enuors^W^^^Ww- snpport the" principles as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson and restated by such statesmen as John C. Calhoun and Andrew Jackson, and on tlio-e principles we plaut ourselves and wiil lemain. Second. While we earnestly favor and demand a redaction in the onerous tariff duties, and that the burden of such taxation he fixed upon the luxuries, and not upon the necessaries of life?and then only a sufficient revenue bo levied for the maintenance of our Government economically administered, we hold that a matter of equal and paramount importance for the reliof and prosperity of our people is an inorenae in our currency, eml that our Government issue its money direct to the people nt a low rate of interest and upon such solvjyjt* i security as they can furnish. Third. Wo see with displeasure and apprehension thai the money-changers of Wall street have invaded the sacred temple of Democracy, and that, they will try and force upon tur party a candidate representing not the wishes and wellbeiug of our people, but their own selfish interest. We ns-ert (hat (trover Cleveland does not represent the principles of the Democracy as taught by our forefathers and as we understand them. Fourth. We therefore enter our solemn protest against the nomination of Grover Cleveland or any other candidate known or believed to be selected in the iuterest of and at (lie dictation of Wall street, but we demand as our standard bearer a man for the people and with the people, and who will serve the people and not any olass or faction. Fifth. We shall look upon the nomination of cx-l'residoDt Cleveland, if forced upon cur party by the Chicago convention, as a prostitution of the principles of Democracy, as a repudiation of the demands of the Farmers' Alliance which embody the true principles of Democracy, and a surrender of the rights of the people to the financial kings of the country. Sixth. We believe we voice the sontiineuts of a large majority of the white voters of South Carolina when we assert that the nomination of any Wall Street candidate would create grave dissaisf iction in the j . State Democracy. Adopted. ' By N. G. Gonzales : Resolved. That the integrity and success ' of the Democratic party in the South are 1 menaced by the Third or People s party, , and we condemn those who are instrumental in spreading the membership and advocating the platform as enemies of the Democratic pnrty. Defeat ei Resolved. That to make the posi'ion of the South Carolina Democtncy clear and uumistakable, we denounce the St. Louis platform, which is being used t> support the pretensions of the Third parly in the South. Defeated. ltesolved. That we pledge the Democracy Of South Carolina to abide by and acively support tho nominations of the Na ional Democratic party at the Chicago convention aod the platform upon which such nominations shall be made. Adopted. Ky John Gary Evans, of Aiken : ( Ursolved. lly the Democratic party in cenvention assembled, that It affords ua 1 great pleasure ae a grateful people to return our thanks to our present State officers for the faithful, wive and economic manner in which, they have administered . odr State government.

Such a coay>al-sory lux would be wth oppressive anjf unjust * to the poorer fines of our ciiixens.

We, however, would ike to see some equitable p'an adopted by rhich the school fhnd cm be inoreased.

The present school system it bat may be called an expensive farce. In the first place, three months poor pay i a year is no inducement for a competent eacber to take a school. If h* or she is ood for anything they can get steady and tore satisfactory employment all the year mod, at better pay. What we want, more ian anything else in our public schools, is rofestional School Teachers. Teachers ho intend to make teaching their life busiess. Such tenchers will not only feel roud of their calling and individually kerl every effort to exalt it to the highest landard of social, moral and intelleoiual fficiency, but will have an impelling self ride to base their reputations upon the isults of their labors in the sohool room.

Tho little folks etgoyel it Swm'y. Miss Brown seems indefatigable in mallng the school days of her pupils happy and joyous. One day last week some colored farmers sent their horses and mules, in charge of some little boys to be graied, and after grazing them, tho little fellows conoluded to run a horse raco and in making a torn in the trojid, a mare helongiog to Quay Worthy, ran against tho end of a heavy pole, and Uflre one of the large muscles of tht breait three ' inches deep, and back eight inches betwesn ' tlis legs, and left it hanging. The rider was ( thrown, had his collar-bone broken, and ( knocked insensible. Tho pole or log was a . heavy oos, and was turned almost com- j plstsly around, and the place had the ap- ( pearsnce of a pen where lugs had been laugetercd. I lir. ?. C. Jeter was cdled in and set the ^ broken bone, and dressed the wounds of the . boy, sowed up the torn muscles of the horse, ( and both of tbom are now doing well. f The farmers are "pushing" their work and themselves too, in order to keep from being pushed by the grass, for if they get { the eotton hoed early, tbey have a better q chance to work at the grass when it comes plentifully. 1 ha?e hoard of some bad grass ownn piaces nave bad stands, and some hare been planted the second time. * Cut worms are bad on some farms. 0 There aro some nice fields of corn "deco- 1 rating" this section.

[ There still comes to us, very frequently, the cry that tho hard times, and very low * prices of farm pr ducts and other things is ? caused by the Alliance, ("the old Arliaoce") I This, it seems, is extensively told among the , colored and ignorant white people, by men who are considered educated and intelligent ?farmers and others. We do not know J whether it is done through malice or sheer Ignorance. If tho former we will treat them with silent contempt. But we presume it is done through the latter; then we pity their ignorance, l'oor ignorant creatures, then we despise their presumption, presum- 1 ing they know so much of things of whioh J their knowledge extends no further then their front yatds. Isn't it surprising how some intelligent people will let ther preju- ' dice (if it is not ignorance) blindly lead ' them, so as to cause them to work against their own individual, and oouatry's best interest ? It seems too, the partisan newspapers generally forget there are intelligent f people who read and digest other papers I then their own aheets, and are capable of , thinking for themselves.

Whea Farmer Tillroan of South Carolina, started h;s movement (bat raado him Governor of the State, and defeeted for the Senate that gallant soldier end able statesman who during the reoonstruc'ioo period had played so oonspicuou?Iy a pat riot io part ia the redemption of South Carolina from negro and Republican rule, Wade Hampton, he little appreciated the trouble he was storing up in future for himself and his fellowci'ixena. In order to attain to the summit of his personal ambition, the governorship, he excited his followers to fever heat, no doubt imagining that he posseesed sufficient power to call a halt when he saw danger impending. But like Robespierre, who aulUvatwd each ^Wiret for gore among the people of Pa*la that it could not be satiated until hie own life's blood bad been drunk by the remorseless and oruel knife of the guillotine, so Tillman has started a reign of oheoe in South Carolina to which even he had to how in order to save himself from destruction. Asa result of all this what do we now see n the State? The State convention which ires held on Wednesday wes Democratic only u name and its proceedings were s-> blister>tis as to become almost riotous. The platortn adopted indorsed in its entirtly that nost absurdly improbable of ail the impracticable notions that evor emanated from the nind of man?the Ocala platform?with its ub-irea-ury and all other foolish schemes. Vnd then it denounced Qrover Clevoland as the tool of the money kings of WaM street," is if Mr. Cleveland was ever yet the tool of my man or set of men, and demanded the tomination at Chicago of an ultra silver man vho would be in accord with all their weird nd destruetive ideas, refusing to vbte f<r von Hill unless he would place himself quarely on the Alliance platform. Is there any sensiote man ia 8outh Caroina who believes thdi the voice of its delegable HRta/? towr v&bw'xciit'YtorMttnt . rill be heard in the convention? Is tbsre ne who has the slightest idea that any man n the world can be elected President on the rv-~i:?

Evidently South Carolina is standing ca he crater of a volcano. The report of the iroceedingi of Wednesday's convention tates that it required all the influence of iovernor Tillman and Senator Irby combined o keep down even temporarily, the Third ?arty sentiment whioh began to be very xuberanb This shows that the people of he State are on the verge of madness, and bat it will take very little for tbem to start heir Third Tarty, and this would mean that ,11 the sensible intelligent and self-reepectng Demecrats of the Stale would be driven rom them; that the white men would be livided; that the Republicans would gain lonlroi; that the State would be agasn subected to negro rule, and that the chaos, dlsrder and demorilization of the llcconstruc- 1 ion days would come again. If this uohappy ondition of affairs should result fiom the 1 iresent unfortunate frame of mind of the 1 louth Carolinians, they would pay dearly or their folly, for what is worse, they would oso the sympathy of their sister Southern Itatcs, because this time they would hare "ought their mi-fortunes upon themselves hrough their own foolhardlness.?Richmond Correspondence of the Times.
