THE 1'EOrlt SA V "NOBODY BIT AKDREWSr Early last Tuesday morning the d?le gatcs to the County Convention which was to be held tho following da; com menced to gather in and around the Court House Square. Candidates and everybody ob? began to look lively. It was- 80ou understood that McKiulay, Livingston, Byas and Rigge had consoli dated their for oca under the battle cry "Anything to bent Andrews!" A little later it was known that Williams, Cald well and Guignurd had joined the" Allies,'* aud many knowing ones affected to he lieve that the Andrews men had hard Work before them, tn the evening, the "Allies" kept open hoase at a "Republican Headquarters," and probably did a goo 1 denl of cauottssing. A large aud spirited e.Mt?u-i ef the Andrews party was also held, the members of which t>?euied rather to enjoy the prospect of heating seven opposing candidates all at <<tree, rather than \iy the .slower, but not more effectual u-et hod of laying thorn out one at a tiaea. At 12 o'clock M Ott the following day, th?30lh inst., the Convention uisuut \>)e<\ Sa the uew Com ' Roetn and Was wal!*d tO0V*er by the Cottnty Ch airman, \&ttdge AnxlieWs CoL K. t. Cain, and Mr. W. N, Mount having been respec tively nominated for the temporary tthtirmeaahip by the opposing factious, the Convention, and the fiumereus spee tatoro who had been very unwisely per mitted to enter the hnll, immediately broke out Into the meat inferral uproar that we have ever heard save at a Democratic Convention or Ward Meet ing in the Oity of Hew York. For two mortal hours the hideous noise continued, reudoring anything like buaiacsa utterly isaposiibls. At laet, at 2 o'clock, the Chairman ordered a reeeaa until 4 P. M. at whioh hour the Sheriff and his peaee officers took eharge ef the outer door aud, the roll of delegates being called, ndn.itted to tho hall only those who were entitled to ?enter. The Convention having re assembled and balloting for a tcmporsry Chairman being in erder, Col. Jv I. Cain wai eleotcd by a vote of 35 ip his favor against 25 for Mr. Mount. Jehu H. Phillips, A. B. Knowlton and f. R. 3d eK inlay, were then nominated for 'the temporary Chairmanship, but Meura . MoKinlay and Knowlton withdrew and Mr. Phi'lipo was unanim ously eleoted. The Convention having thus effected a temporary organisation, a committee -of credentials waa, apon motion, appoint ed by the Chair. Upon tho return of the Committee with their report, a lively debate ensued upon the motion for iu adoption, but the motion waa finally curried by r large majority. Col.. E. I, Cain and Mr. Mount were then nominated for the permanent Chairmanship. Mr. Mount withdrew be fore the vote wai taken and Col. F4. I. Cain was handsomely elected. John H. Phillip? waa then eleoted Secretary and Joau L. Humbert as aistant Secretary. Th* Convention then proceeded to tho nomination of candidates for the vacant Sopaterahip. The following namoo wore placed before tho Conven tion z T. C. Andrews, F. R. MoKtnlay, S. D. Duncan, J U F.iringston. C? W. Caldwoll, Calviu Ouignard, A. 0. Williams, Godfrey Murph aod A. J. Mingar. Mr. Samuel L. Duncan arose and stated that, having in view no selfish interests, and being impelled solely by a desire fur the success and for the best interests of tho Republican party, he must decline allowing the further use oi his name as a candidate for the Senator ship. He feared -that his continued candidacy might impede the action of the Convention, before whom there were so many aspirants, and after a wur.u and earnest speech which elicited the appro bation and applause of every one pro sent, formally withdrew froth the candi dacy. Messrs. Livingston, Culdwell and Williams also withdrew before auy further action was had by the Conven tion. After numerous speeches in favor of the various candidates a ballot was had with the following result : T..C. Andrews,. 45. F. R.McKiulay. 14. Godfrey Murph, . 5. Peter Walker. 2. B. Byiia. 2. The Hon. T. C. Andrews was there upon, amidst uproarious applause, dec larcd the nominee of tho Republican Couuty Convention of Orangeburg for the uuexpircd Senatorial term oi the late Hon. James L. ?Jamison. After the applause, the welcoming und the congratulation twhich greeted the successful candidate had somewhat subsided, Mr, F. R. McKiuluy took the floor and spoke as follows : "Gentlemen of tho Convention : You sec bet?re you a defeated candidate, but though defeated, still a Republioau (Cheers.) The campaign has bscu bitter and many hard thing* have been said by both sides. Rut it gives me pleasure to state that the charges brought against Judge Andrews by rur vide, amounted, after all, to nothing but " campaign argument.'' (Cheers.) And I believe thut the other side will do nie the ju.-tice to say that the accusations made against nrc Were also merely "campaign argument."' (Yes I yes!) Gentlemen, 1 haVo fouglil Judge An drews to the best of my ability, aud I h avc tce:i beaten, but it is a satisfaction to me to kuow that I have boo.n Ireaten by so true, ho 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 influence to roll up fur hiui the largest Republican vote ever polled in this Couuty." (Treiucudoua cheers.) The Convention then adjourned, sine die. Our young friend Sherrod Reeves has roturucd from his su miner trip. J. W.

The Charleston Newa Si Courier sa s that on the 2"Uh tilt , Messrs I'elzer. Rodgora ?\c Co, received Irom the Rev. Thomas ltaysor, near Bruuchvillo, S. C. a handsome lock of new cotton. This spccimeii was planted on the 27th March, grew rapidly, escaped the sharp frosts of April, and bloomed about the 15:h of Jun *. The b dl w.is well djvol ipjd and matured, opened on the 20th July, and was taken from the held on the 2 M. Mr. Raysor expresses the opinion that cotton is frequently planted too late, and men tions that hi* crop iu not as high as usu al, but is bolter 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 iiCgisl iture of this late, l,to provide a summary mode for purchasers of lands at tax sales being put into possession," ia declared unconstitutional and veil. Th.'eirou.u stances of the case ari as follow* : Cer tain lands of Mrs. Kate McMillan and others were sold for taxes in June, 1872 under the act of 1866, and were pure has ed b}* Louis Jacobs. The firat owners of the property, through thoir attorney, S. W. Maurice, Ksq y made application to Judge Green tor a prohibition to restrain the sheriff from pro'oeediaVg un dec th? act. A temporarj- injunction vag granted, which, after argument, waa niado pcrpctuil aud absolute by a form al decision. '1 he argument of Mr. Maurice w?ui very exhaustive and complete. Iii? main points were ns follows: That the act <>f L8T2, under which the sale was uiade, is a "bill for raising revenue," and orginstcd iu the Senate instead of the House of Hepresout ilives, as required by the Coustitutiou of the State.?That the act is unconstitutional, because it relates to more than one subject, and that the subjects ore not ex press od in the title. That tho effect of the act of 187H, as well as that of 1872, is to du prive the citiz.cn of his property without the judgment of hie peers or the law ol the laud. That tho act of 1872 under takes, upou its face, to nmcud n re pealed statute. Tn at the samo act, upon its face, authorized enly tho sale of forfeited lauds, whereas the land was sold as delinquent laud, And hence th sale was Void lor authority The point was also miidc tint a tax dead, if for delinquent I: uds, must bo sealud with the private seal of the olhcer who exe Gutes it. If for forfeited lands, the title to which is in the Government, then it must be in the form, and possess ed of the characteristics, of a grant un der the great seal of the State, signed by tho Goveruoi aud countersigned by the Secretary of State. Othor grounds were taken in the ar gument of the counsel, says the Charles ton New* <(? Courier, to which we are indebted for this intelligent statement of the matter, but the court, without entering upon the consideration of these, granted tho injunction, upon the broad pr nciplc laid dowu in the State Consti tution, (article l.soctiou 14,) that no person shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled or dispossessed of his "prop ty, immunities or privileges, put "out of the 1mwj exilod or ''deprived of his life, liberty or estate," but "by tho jud;mrnt of his peers or tho -'law of tho I'ind." ? ?'i ? ?
