Cundidates and everybody else began 'o look lirely. It was' soou understood that McKiuiay, Livingston, Byas and Rigga had consoli dated their forocs under the battle cry "Anything to best Andrews!*' A little later it was known that Williams, Cald well and Guignurdhae' joined the" Allies,'* aud many knowing onos affected to be lievc that the Andrews men had hard work before them. In the evening, the "Allies" keptopenhoase nt a "Republican Headquarters," and probably did a good deal of cauoassing. A large - and spirited oancft* of the Andrews party wna also hold, the members of which ???emed rather to enjoy the prospect of beating sown Opposing candidates all at hic?, rather than by the slower, but oOt more effectual uethod vf laying thorn out one at a titn*. At 12 o'clock M "oft lb* following vl!*y, the 30 tli inst., the Con vent ion aseusa \i\e<\ in the uew Codri. Room aud was usMrt *o Order by the County Oh airman, ^U'dgv* AmLews CoL tl. I. Cain, and Mr. W. Nr. Mount having been respeo tively nominated for the temporary <ouftir?M?ship by thA opposing faetious, the Convention, and the numerous spec tators who bad been very unwisely per m'ttVed to enter the hall, immediately broke oui into the meet infsrral uproar that we have ever heard save at a Democratic Convention or Ward If set ing in the City of New York. For two mortal hours the hid tons noise continued, rendering aoy thing like buaiaess utterly iatposiibls. At la**, at 2 o'clock, the. Chairman ordered a recess until 4 P. M. at whioh hour the Sheriff aud his peace officers took eharge or4 the outer door and, the roll of delegates being called, admitted to the hall only those who were entitled to -enter. The Convention having re assembled and balloting for a temporary Chairman being in erder, Col. K I. Cain was eleetcd by a vote of 35 ip his favor Sgaiaat 26 for Mr. Mount. John H. Phillips, A. B. Knowlton and 1. R. IM eK inlay, were then nominated for the temporary Chairmanship, but Messrs . MoK in Is y and Knowlton withdrew and Mr. Phi'lip* was unanim ously eleeted. ' The Convention having thus effected a temporary organisation, a committee -of credentials was, apon motion, appoint ed bj the Chair. Upon tho return of the Committee with their report, a lirely debate ensued upon the motion for it* adoption, but the motion was finally e?rried by a large majority. Pol.. E. I, Cain and Mr. Mount were then nominated for the permanent Chairmanship. Mr. Mount withdrew "be fore the rote was taken tod Col. E. I. Cain was handsomely elected. , John H. Phillips was then elected Secretary and Johu L. Humbert as sistant Secretary, The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of candidates for the vacant Sepatership. The following names were placed before the Conveo* tion : T- 0. Andrews, F. R. MoKinlay, S. L. Duncan, J H J.iringston, 0* W. Caldwell, Cnlviu Ouigoard, A. C. Williams, Godfrey Murph and A. J. Minjtr. - Mr. Samuel L. Duncan arose and stated that, having in view no selBsh interests, aud iting impelled sololy by a desire fur the suooess and for the best interests of tho Republican party, be must decline allowing tho further uso of his urime as a oandidate for the Senator .ship. IIo feared that his continued candidacy might impede the action of the Convention, before whom there were so many aspirants, and after a wur.n and earnest speech winch elicited the appro bation and applause of every one pre sont, formally withdrew froth the candi dacy. Messrs. Livingston, Culdwell and Williams also withdrew before nny furthor uctiou was had by the Conven tion. After nunioroua speeches in favor of the various candidates a ballot was hud with the following result: T..0. Andrews,. 45. F. R.McKiulay. 14. Godfrey Murph, . 5. Peter Walker. 2. R. Ryas. 2. The Hon. T. C. Andrews was there upon, amidst uproarious applause, dec larcd the nomiucc of tho Republican County Convention of Orangehurg for the u no x pi rod Senatorial Serin of the lato Hon. Jarnos L. -Jamison. After the applause, the welcoming and the congratulatiou (which greeted tho successful candidate had somewhat subsided, Mr. F. R. McKinlay took the floor and spoke as follows: "Gentlemen of tho Convention : You see belore you s. defeated candidate, but though defeat od, still a Ropublioan (Cheers.) The campaign has bscu bitter and many hard thing* have been naid by both sides. Rut it giVos me pleasure to etate that the charges brought against Judge Andrews by t ur vide, atnouuted, after all, to nothing but " campaign argument-.'* (Oheera.) And I believe thai the other .side will do mc the jur-ii*^ to say thnt the nccus?ti?n6 made against nrc Were nlsvj merely "campaign argument." (Yes I yes!) Gentlemen, 1 haVe fought .fudge An drews to the best of my ability, and I have been beaten, but it is a satisfaction to me to kuow that I have been beuten by so true, so loug tiied and so faithful a Republicau as Judge Andrews, and I hereby pledge myself, with all tho solemnity of an oath, to use nil my strength and ?tll my iuflucucc bo roll up for him the largest R^pablioan vote ever polled in this Couuty."

The Charleston Netcn k Courier sir a that on the 23th ult , Messrs IMzer. Rodgers & Co, received from the Rev. Thomas Ilaysor, near Branch villo, S. C. n haudsome lock of new cotton.

The b ill w.i3 well dovclupjd aud matured, opened on the 20th July, und was taken from the field on the 23 1. Mr. Raysor expresses the opinion that cotton is frequently planted too l ite, and men tions that his crop is not as high as usu ;il, hut is better fruited. A case of considerable importance has just been decided in the Third Judicial Circuit, by Judge John T. Green, in which the recent act of the Lcgisl iturc of this fate, "to provide a summary mode for purchasers of landsut tax sales being put into possession," is declared ( unconstitutional and voi i. Th ? ciroutu ; stauces of the case arc as follows : Cer I tain lands of Mrs. Kate Mu.Milliu and others were sold for taxes in Juue, 1872 under the net of 18(10, and were pure has ed by Louis Jacobs. The first owners of the property, through thoir attorney, S. W? Maurice, Esq.. made application to Judge Green for a prohibition to restrain the sheriff from proar-ediitg un der th'i act. A temporary Injunction v ss grunted, which, after argument, was mado pcrpctuil aud absolute by a form al duriidnti. The argument of Mr. Maurice w*a verj' exhaustive und complete. Hi? main points were as follows: That the act of i>7-. under which the sale wait uiude, is a "bill for raising revenue," and orginstcd iu the Senate instead of the House of Represent uives, as required by the Constitution of the State.?That the act is unconstitutional, because it relate* to more than one subject, nnd that the subjects ure not cxprensod in the title. That tho effect of the act of 1873, us well as that of 1872, is to do privo the citiz.cn of his property without the judgment of his peers or the law of the laud. That the act of 1872 under takes, upnu its face, to amend n re pealed statute. Tnat tho samo aot, upon its face, authorized only tho sale of forfeited lauds, whereas tho land was sold as delinquent land, and hence th sale was void for authority. The point was also made tltat a tax deed, if for delinquent 1: nds, must lo seaiud with the private seal of the officer who exe Outes it. If for ferfeitod lauds, the title to which is in the Government, then it must be in the form, and possess cd of the characteristics, of a grant un der the great seal of the ?tate, signed by the Covcruoi aud countersigned by the Secretary of State. Other grounds were taken iu the ar gument of the counsel, sajs the Charles ton News <(? Courier, to which we ore indebted for this intelligent statomeat of the matter, but the court, without entering upon the consideration of these, granted tho injunction, upon the broad pr nciple laid dowu in tho State Cousti tutiou, (article 1, soctiou 14,) that no person shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled or dispossessed of his "prop ty, immunities or privileges, put "out of the law, exilod or ' deprived of his life, liberty or estate," but "by the judgment of his peers or tho "law of tho l ind " Colombia, S.
