Court House Square. Candidates aud
everybody olea began to luok lively. It
vraa' soou understood that McKitilay,
Livingston, Byas and Rigga had consoli
dated their forces undo.- the battle cry
"Anything to beat Andrew?!" A little
later it was known that Williams, Cald
well and Guigaard has) joined the" Allies
and many knowing ones affected to he
lieve that tbe Andrews men had hard
Work beforo them, tit the evening, the
"Allies'* k?ptopchhouseata"Ropublican
Headquarters," and probably did a good
deal of cauoassing. A large * and
spirited oan?U4 of the Andrews party
wm also held, the member- of which
Miemcd rather to enjoy the prospect of
beating seven op-posing candidates oil at
? nee, ratner than Ky the slower, hut not
Snore effectual ueihod of laying them
out one at a tiais.
At 12 o'clock. M on the following;
day, the 30th inat., the Convention assoin
bVed \n the new Codrt Room and Was

viwdg? AnvticWs 'Cob at. I. Cain, and
Mr. W. N. Mount having been respec
tively nominated for the temporary
ehairmanship by Ine ?pp?slng faatious,
tbe Convention, and the numerous spec
tators who bad been vory unwisely per
?nitVed to enter the ball, immediately
broke out Into the most iufcrral uproar
tbat we bava ever heard aave at a
Democratic Convention or Ward Meet
ing in the City of New York.
For two mortal hours tbe hid sons
noise oontiuued, rendering anything
like business utterly impossible. At
laat, ?t 1 o'clock, the Chairman ordered
S rscess until 4 P. M. at whiob hour
the SherirT aud his peaee officers took
?barge er* the outer doer and, the roll of
delegates boing celled, admitted to tho
ball only those who were entitled to
enter. The Convention having re
assembled and balloting for a temporary
Chairman being in order, Cob E- I.
?Cain was elected by a vote of 35 ip his
favor against 26 for Mr. Mount. John
H. Phillips, A. B. Kaowlton and 1. R.
-IdsKinlay, were then nominated for
the temporary Chairmanship, but
Messrs . MoKinlsy and Knowlton
withdrew a\od Mr. Phi'lips was unanim
' oualy elected.
The Convention having thus effected
? temporary organisation, a committee
of credentials was, apoc motion, appoint
ed by tbe Chair. Upon the return of
the Committee with their report, a
lively debate ensued upon the motion
for ita adoption, but the notion was
"finally carried by a large majority.
pol. K. I, Cain and Mr. Mount were
then nominated for the permanent
Chairmanship. Mr. Mount withdrew "be
fore tbe vote was taken and Co), E. I.
Cain was handsomely elected.
? John H. Phillips was then elected
Secretary and Jobo ' L. Humbert as
sistant Secretary,
The Convention then proceeded to
the Qornibation of candidates for the
yssaot Sepatership. The following
names were placed before tho Conven

S. L. Duncan, J H T-irin^ston, 0e>
' .1:.
W. Caldwoll, Calviu Ouiguard, A. 0.
"Williams, Godfrey Murph aad A. J.
Minger.
- Mr. Samuel L. Duncan arose aud
stated that, liaviog io view do selfish
interests,, aud i.?ing impelled solely by
a desire lor the suooess and for the best
interests of the Republican party, he
must decline allowing the further use of
his name as a candidate for the Senator
ship. Ho feared -that his continued
candidacy might impede the action of
the Convention, before whom there were
so many aspirants, aud after a war.n and
earnest speech which elicited the appro
bation aud applause of everj one pre
sont, formally withdrew from the candi
dacy.
Messrs. Livingston, ('aid well and
Williams also withdrew before auy
further action waa had by the Conven

After numerous speeches in favor of
tho various candidates a ballot was hud

The Hon. T. C. Andrews was there
upon, amidst uproarious applause, dec
larcd the nomiuce of tho Republican
County Convention of Orangeburg for
the unexpired Senatorial term of the
late Hon. James L. "Jamison.
After the applause, the welcoming I
|and the congratulation t whioh greeted
the successful candidate had somewhat
subsided, Mr. F. R. MeKinlay took the
floor and spoke as follows :
"Gentlemen of tho Convention : You
see before you a defeated candidate, but
though defcutod, sttll a Republican
(Chcors.) The campaign has bjcu
bittet and many hard thing* have been
said by both sides. Hut It gives mc
pleasure to etate that the charges
brought against Judge Andrews by nur
torde, amounted, after ell, to nothing but
" campaign argument/* (Chcors.) And
I believe that the other .side will do mc
the .ju.-tice to say that the nccusations
made against mc Were also merely
"eatnpaign argument." (Yes I yes!)
Gentlemen, 1 have fought Judge An
drews to the beat of uiy ability, and I
have been beaten, but it \a a satisfaction
to me to kuow that I hare been beuten
by so true, so long tried and so faithful
a Republican as Judge Andrews, and I
hereby pledge myself, with all tho
solemnity of an oath, to use all my
strength and nil my tuflucuco to roll up
for him the largest Republican vote ?vor
polled in this County." (Tretucudous
cheers.)
The Convention then adjourned, tine

The Charleston A/ecce & Courier sa; I
that on tho 2Sth ult., Messrs INdzer,
Rodgera & Co, received from the Rev.
Thorn is Raysur, near Brauchvilla, S. C,
a handsome lock of uew cotton. This
specimen was plnutcd on the 27th March,
grew rapidly, escaped the sharp frosts of
April, aud bloomed about the 15f.h of
Juni. Th ? b ?11 w.is well dove! ?pjd and
matured, opened on the 20th July, and
was taken from the field on the 23d. Mr.
Raysor expresses the opinion that cotton
is frequently planted too 1st?, and men
tioos that his crop is not :is high as usu
at, but is better fruited.
A case of considerable importance has
just been decided iu the Third Judicial
Circuit, by Judge John T. Green, in
which the recent act of the Legist iture
of tins t?te, "to provide a summary
mode for purchasers of lands at tux sales
being put into possession," is declared
unconstitutional and voi 1. Th ? clroum
stances of the case ar?3 as follows : Cer
tain lauds of Mrs. Kate McMiiiiu and
others were sold for taxes in June, 1872
under the net of 1866, and were pure has
ed by Louts Jacobs. The first ownsrs
of the nrnperty, through their attorney,
S. W. Maurice, Ksq.T made application
to Judge Green lor a prohibition to
restrain the sheriff from proceeding un
dec the act. A temporary injunction was
granted, which, after argument, was
nmdo perpctuil aud absolute by a form
nl decision.
lite argument of Mr. Maurice was
very exhaustive and complete. His
main points were as follows: That the
act of 1872, under which the sale was
made, is a "bill forrniaiog rcvonue," and
orginatcd iu the Senate instead of the
House of Representatives, as required by
the Constitution of the State.?That
the nct is unconstitutional, because it
relates to more than one subject, and
that the subjects ore not czprossod in
the title. That tho effect of the not of
1873, as well as that of 1872, is to do
privo the citizen of his property without
tbe judgment ol his peers or thu law of
the laud. That tho act of 1872 under
takes, upnu its face, to inn end a re
pealed statute. That the same act,
upon its face, authorized only tho sale of
forfeited lauds, whereas tho land was
sold us delinquent laud, and nonce lb
sale was void for authority. The point
I wap also made that a tax deed, if for
delinqueut I: nds, must bo sealed with
the private seal of the offioer * ho exe
cutcs it. If for forfeited lands, the
title to which is in the Government,
then it must be in tho form, and possess
ed of the characteristics, of a grant un
der the great seal of the State, signed by
the Govcrooi aud countersigned by the
Socrctary of State.
Other grounds were taken iu tho ar
gument of the counsel, says the Charles
ton News A Courier, to which we arc
indebted for this intelligent StatBOlOQt
of the matter, but tho court, without
entering upou the consideration of these,
granted the injunction, upou the broad
pr nciple laid down in tho State Consti
tution, (article 1, soclton 14,) that no
person shall be srrosted, imprisoned,
despoiled or dispossessed of his "prop
ty, immunities or privileges, put "out of
the law; exilod or "deprived of his lifo,
liberty or estate," but "by tbe judgment
of his peers or tho "law of tho hnd."
