An Indefensible Proceeding', On Wednesday last the State Dem ocratic Executive Committee met Jta Columbia and after nineteen ballots nominated Capt. M. L. Bon- ham, Jr. Editor of tho AbDeville Mes- feenger, for the position of Adjutant and -Inspector Ueneial made yacant ^^the d^atb of General Mauigault. t. Bonham is about thirty years of aud is a gentleman of (Inc ability and most courteous deportment, and will dqubt}ea{> fill the position with Credit to himself and honor to the Btat4; nevertheless, we think the Committee has perpetrated » high J landed outrage in coply ignoring tire lahus of Capt. H. I* Farley, of Spar tanburg, who came before the Com- jniltoe as the second choice of a full Convention, lacking only six votes of that received oy General Mauigault tbp successful candidate. Wo are a loss to understand what higher en dorsement any man could have brought before that Committee, short t>f an absolute nomination by the Con vention. We consider that the Com mittee has abpued the powers vested in them by tlie Democratic party and that they have wantonly Ignored tho candidate, who came before them with the be^t credentials. ■^Ve have no objection to Capt, Bon ham, but we do object to the high handed undemocratic proceeding Which has inlliorvd u great wrong up- bD a worthy gentleman without a (tingle mitigating circumstance. Are ■w» not drifting from our moorings rhen a Committed fAe creoiu^c of the Convention, can treat with such con- ’’teroptuous Indiflerfence the will of its Creator only twenty days after ad journment? It is just such ill consid ered, unjust and indefensible proceed ings that produce discordant bicker ings in the best regulated political hutillies. ’ ‘ > ’ 1 • Hard to Overtake a Falsehood.

B.

Eut tiiey are^o slippery that if you don’t Lind him up f am afraid he would betray you after he gets there.” This advice is certain ly more unique than courteous, more offensive than logical. The lawyer must be able and honest ac cording to Captain Tillman’s formula, nevertheless he is to be employed ou the bald principle that he is a thief sent to catch a thief. Is it not time for the farmers to resent su c “ unseem ly and unjust vulgarity heaped upon a worthy and respected class of their fellow citizens, who have been guilty of no offense and who are ever ready to discharge their public duties with alacrity and patrotism? Is it not a shame and a disgrace that in this civ ilized age and in this proud old State, large audiences can be found to listen to and applaud the silly ego: ism and offensive tirades of a man whose sole stock in trade seems to be that he is a farmer, and if report be true an un successful one at that?

This is a false theory, de structive of the very essence of Ctiris- tianity and the best interests of socie ty. The more humane, practical and successful rule of life, is to treat your fellowman whether, he be a lawyer an editor, or a farmer, ns if ho was an honest man, until you find him defi cient iu moral principle. Don’t label Irmas a thief beforehand, and charge your friends that he is so slippery that if not bound that he will betray them! This is not reasonable, just or decent Life is not worth living if we are compelled to regard our neighbors with perpetual suspicion. Rather let us deal kindly with one an other,always remembering the Divine command “Love thy neighbor as thy self.” fbeTerrible Su y’ci’in&ti of a Victim of if i il i op hot: la.
