The “Independent (.ireenhsu-k I^ihor Reform People’s Rights Party” will meet in convention on Tuesday, tiie 5th day of September, at Columbia. They propose to nominate a full State ticket, which of course will receive the full support of the Radical party. If the colored people have one sin gle ray of good feeling or common sense, they will stand by the ticket Richland, j headed by Hugh for six years has administered the af fairs of tire State educational depart- ! nient in such a manner as to extort | the admiration and respect of men of ; all shades of political opinion. The colored people form the hone and sinew of the Republican party, and it is only by their votes that any factious opposition to the Democracy can hope ever, to attract momentary attention. It is time for them to consider well their true interests and to note the fact j that it is only by uniting their best e(Torts with lire native white man they can hope to attain that consider ation and amelioration of their con dition so desirable from a humanita rian and economic standpoint. All good citizens desire to see them ele vated in the scale of humanity, and their moral and iutellectuail natures absorbing those good principles which will make them better citizens and more profitable producers. An edu cated head makes a conservative citi zen and a skilled hand a more expert artificer. iSuch improvements can only ? Mn. J. H. IIouan, editor of the Satuela Are/'x, has severed Ids con nection with more lucrative and congenial ]>osjtion in another part of the h'tate.” Mr. T. I*. Riley, his associate, in a card says, “It is to Mr. Hogan that the Argus is indebted for its success so far. He leaves it to take a position which opens to him a wider field of useful ness and prosperity, and one which . gives a wider scope for the exercise of H. lomp-on, v 1 talent.” These are generous and well deserved words of commenda tion from his former eo-worker, and J we hope Ids expectations of future success will be fully realized.

Rev. Ellison Caulks lias for mally accepted the nomination of State .Superintendent of Education. This announcement will be hailed with satisfaction all over the State. Both in war and peace he has proved himself a devoted son of .South Caro- I under a wise and honest gov- i Lna, and as the head ot the State educational department he will ae- i eomplish all that a clear head, backed : by indomitable energy and devoted ' patriotism can achieve. —Sumter County has gone hack the Primary election system. —Fifteen million barrels of beer ate annually made in the United States. —Gen.

The Democracy of South Carolina means the best elements of society to be found in the State, and white sup rem acy now and forever. We, therefore, with a firm belief in the irresistible logic which ordains the subornation of the destiny of all dark races to the will power and su- perior intellectual forces of the Cau- eassian, advise the black man to ab stain from factious opposition lo the methods of triumphal progress which the white man has marked out for himself and the other races of the world. The negro and Mongolian may retard, but they never can divert tiie sons of Japhet from the destiny which God has marked out for them. Tiie white man must rule as long as the sun shall shine and the firmament shall twinkle with its countless myr iads of stars, and the sooner the col ored peoole of South Carolina accept the fact the better it wilt be for their material and intellectual progress, and for the peace and prosperity of the Commonwealth to which they owe allegiance. Discard, then, your selfish advisers, and stand by the peo ple among whom you were horn, and who alone have your true interests at t heart. (emu ing and bribing their river and harbor steal through the House, Mr. Cox said: “Well, the majority of the np- propriat ion Committee being Republi cans, they must take tiie responsibil ity.” Tiie Republicans nnswired in derisive shouts, “We’ll do it.” Just now the Republican newspapers everywhere are trying to divide the responsibility of that steal. —Excessive rains have damaged Michigan, Indiana and Illinois to ihc tunc of many millions of dollars.

We hear complaints of the trouble and confusion of the Primary system, but revolutions never go backwards. So far as The Recordku is concerned, it will always support what it con ceives to be of the greatest good to the greatest number. The question of re turning to the Con^ution system is one which the people have two years to consider. The duty of the hour is not the discussion of such matters, hut hoig,to insure the election of the admirable ticket which has been nom inated. With a strong pull and a long pull and a pull altogether, the Dem ocracy of Aiken County can elect the candidates of 1882 with larger majorities than ever before obtained. Let tbe proud motto of our State be tiie watchword for Aiken County— il Ani)nis opdntsfjuc parati.” Else where we publish full returns of the election. Mu. Walter Hazard, the editor of the Georgetown Enquirer, has been nominated for the House of Represen tatives. He is only twenty-two years old, a graduate of Princeton, a grace ful writer, and n gentleman of decided talent. His nomination is due to a compromise between Democrats and Republicans. .Senator Maxwell, of Abbeville, has been nominated for re-election by 17(i majority, over Gen. R. II. Hemp hill, editor of tiie Abbeville Medium. The educational issue was raised in this election, and Dr. Maxwell, its champion, has triumphed after a close contest. CON ' i IC INS I (> v A l. NO 311 NATIONS. The Fourth, 1'iIVii aixl Sixth Districts Heard From. The Hon. Geo. W. Dargan has been nominated by the Congressional Con vention of the Sixth District on the thirty-third Ballot. The Convention met at Florence, and the Hon. H. L. Benbow was chairman. The delegates presented their cre dentials, and forty-one members were enrolled as follows: Marlboro 0, Mar ion 10, Darlington 10, Clarendon 0, Horry 0 and Williamsburg 3. Nominations were then declared in order. J. R. Lambson of Williams burg, nominated B. P. Barron, of Clarendon; J. C. Sellers, of Marion, nominated J. M. Johnson, of Marion; Dr. R. W. Johnson, of Marion, nomi nated J. G. Bine, of Marion; Dr. J. B. r: W"Tlgm iH;.TTtl!!tlPtl‘^ M ....W. Dm. gan, of Darlington. On the first ballot the vote stood: Johnson 10, Dargan 15, Barron », Bine 1. On the seconed ballot the vote stood: Johnson 16, Dargan 15, Barron 0, Blue 1. After the second ballot Blue’s name was withdrawn, and then on every ballot up to the 21th ballot the vote stood the same on each ballot, after which it varied a little until the 31st ballot was reached. Ge.i. W. W. Harllee was then nom inated and the vote stood: Johnson 11, Dargan 13, Harllee 7, Barron 0. Harllee and J. M. Johnson were then withdrawn and Chancellor W. D. Johnson put in nomination.

Some authorities think that the whole of the corn crop will be needed here, but the increase in the crops of oats and wheat and other small grain should diminish the consumption of corn at home. After talking about it for years, the Southern States have diversified their agricultural methods, and enlarged the production of cereals. From Georgia and Tennessee large ship ments of oats have been made to Baltimore. South Carolina has sold large quantities of oats, and the barns are still full. The economic situation of the Southern States Is greatly strengthened, as the people in large measure will get their breadstuff's at the actual cost, without paying any profit to tiie producers in other States, and will he free from any expense of transportation. A pregnant feature of the situation is the dependence of the business of the country on the crops of the year. Manufacturing interests have been Protected at tiie expense of the farm ers, ami the many have been robbed for the benefit of the few, on the plea that the success of the few would be for the advantage of the many. When the pinch comes, it is the farm ers who are the dependence of the country, and by their success the hopes and prospects of the United States are measured. All the indica tions are that the exports from the United States will be much larger than last year. Here, as elsewhere, cheap food comes to our aid, and not the dear manufactures built up by the protective tariff'. If there were any way of protecting breaJstuffs, as manufactures are protected, our agri cultural products would no more be exported than our manufactures are, and the foundation of the export trade of the country would be cutaway. The whole outlook is exceedingly bright, and tiie reason for it is the splendid plenteousness of the crops, and the ability of those who make them cheaply to sell them cheaply to the consumers at home and abroad. Nay, the American farmer would fare better still and the whole country be better off', if farming were relieved from the taxes imposed forth© benefit of manufactures, which are of no ser vice whatever io the country when it is necessary to go beyond the confines of the United States for customers and a market.

Death of a Titan. —The Newberry IL rrdd says: “It is a remarkable fact that every man on the State ticket is an Episcopalian, except ('apt. Lipscomb, and he is a half scholar, as it were, his wife being an Episcopalian, and he is not a member of any Church. Audit is another remarkable fact that every Democratic nominee for GovernoV since the war has been an Episcopa lian. The President of the Citadel Academy is an Episcopalian. —Outside of the routine work of the Appropriation hills a man may count upon his lingcrsall the laws of general import enacted by this Congress; and he will find that these consist of one or two really good measures, a like number of undoubtedly had ones, and u few others which, while designed to accomplish praiseworthy objects, were so mutilated by interpolations and amendments as to deprive those who framed them of any great meed ! of credit. —A prominent railroad manager is credited witli the following: “i pre- Fcnator Benjamin Harvey Hill ex pired on the 16th hist., at Atlanta, Ga., of a loathsc me cancerous disease, after months of most intense suffer ing, surrounded by his devoted family and after every aftention that human ingenuity could suggest had been ex hausted. His devoted, heart-broken wife was p:\sent, and like a Roman matron she contributed in every way practical to his material and spiritual wants in those* last sail hours of his life. Sous and daughters and learned doctors all were there, but the fiat had gone forth mouths before—“Thy glory has departed; from dust thou art, and to dust thou shall return.” The sol emn command lias been fully realized, and the means of a stricken wife and bereaved children join in the sad chorus of a people who exulted in the majesty of his intellect, and we are forced to admit that man in all tiie towering sublimity of ids intellect, is but a worm of the dust when the heavy hand of the Creator is only gently placed upon Ids rebellious arm. I Georgia has lost a colossal intellect and the South a devoted son. Mr. George \Y. Dargan, the success ful candidate for the nomination, is a young man, a resilient of Darlington County and the Solicitor of " the j EouiTh Judit 5al Circuit, lie is a law- j yer of ability, and a man of high ' character. As Circuit Solicitor lie is j noted for ids boldness in the discharge of his duty as well as for Ids knowl edge and capacity. The Hon. J. J. Hemphill was nom inated on the I6th inst., after sixty- eight ballots, at Chester, S. ('., as the Democratic nominee from tiie Fifth Congressional District. His opponents were Messrs Wilson, Prince, Ervin, Coward and Kennedy. John J. Hemphill was horn at Ches ter Courthouse on the25th day of Au gust, 1840.

In 1874 he was nominated for the Legis lature by tiie Democrats of his coun ty. hut was defeated with tin* rest of the ticket. He was nominated and elected to the Legislature in 1876, ls78 and J880. Mr. Hemphill is an accom plished lawyer and a forcible speaker. The Congressional Convention of tin* fourth District have renominated Col. J. H. Evins. Col. W. M.

The convention was called to order by J. N. Cochran, the president of the French Broad Road, upon whose mo tion Col. Lewis. Jones, of Edgefield was elected chairman. F. H. Ward law and W. J.

After the convention had recovenet this morning Senator Butler, who had been appointed chairman of the committee on consolidation and on the contract with Child «fc Oliver, sub mitted a report in favor of consolida tion, which was unanimously adoptei by both companies.
