Convention of the Democratic party of Anderson County will be held in the Court House at Andereon on Tuesday the 16th day of I Joly next, at ll o'clock a. m. All of ] the clubs in the County are therefore no tided to elect their delegates to this Con vention in accordance with, the constitu tion of the party, which entitles each club to one delegate for every twenty five members. Clubs are also requested to notice the proceedings of the County Executive Committee, and act in accord ance with them as promptly as possible. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. TUE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN. We publiait elsewhere the complacent article of the Springfield Republican in reply to the comments of some of the South Carolina pre*, upon its recent un fair, prejudiced and incorrect article about South Caroline, in which it refers to upper Carolina as ignorant, prejudiced and practically as hypocritical. The Republican begins its reply by congratu lating the people of Caroline that they have had an opportunity to see t?em selves AS they are seen by an indepen dent Northf??ifv, apparently forgetting that we have been complimented by jost such favors frequently before, as the readers of the New York Tribune, Herald j and Sun have frequently had occasion to note. The fact is, the Northern visitor who carries away the views entertained by the Republican do their own intelli gence and judgment, if they have any, but scant justice by parading such incorrect pictures of South Carolina to the world. The editor of the Republican certainly could not have visited but one Bcction of | the State. Without meaning any re flection upon any section of South Car olina, we would call the Republican's attention to the fest that there aro more colleges above Columbia, both male and female, thun there aro below it, and their -standard of scholarship is as high aa any ic South Carolina, and as an evidence of j <hair merit they are attended by students from every portion of the State. Citi zens of the upper counties of South Car olina are, in proportion to numbers, as intelligent and refined as any in thu South, as such communities os Abbe ville, Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, and the other up-oountry towns will abundantly prove to ???y uupreju?lct*i mind. Moreover, a number of tho most successful business men of Charleston ure from tho up-country, and are the peers of the native citizens of the place. The fact that local differences may or may not exist does not prove anything to the disadvantage of either section. We have contended all along that no sub? stantial difieren ct* exist between the two aec? ~us of onr State, bat if they did it | wouid not signify that either was lacking in intelligence or patriotism. Thia is a freo country, and two intelligent sections of country ?jay differ entirely from each other. If the Republican has not learned (hts ii iiiid best cindy the A. B. C. prin ciples of our institutions. The mere fact that the ridgefield Democracy did not encl oreo f?icf Governor Hampton's views is no evidence of ignorance on their part nor on tho part of Governor Hampton. If the people of the wholo State were to -bu'udly follow Governor Hampton, or any other man it would be a sure indica tion of ignorance and servility on their part, which would be no compliment to tbs Governor.. It is tho highest compll ' tuent of his life that an intelligent peo ple endorse his administration almost unanimously, although macy of them differ from him upon'individual ques tions. His administration is not blindly .endorsed by the people because they have not sense enough to perceive its meaning, but it is endorsed because ita meaning is understood and appreciated, and I; sustained because in the nudn all of our people approve It, EdgeSeld may disapproval what Anderson favors, and Anderson oppose what Spartanburg wishes, but all three of these counties ' y.'*!?! agree upon the main Issues, The Republican'* article was the result of a lack of information on the part of tho . 'Ji ".dependent Northern visitor" who un dertook to enlighten tba people of tho United States about a section of country that ho knows nothing about himself. This is the moat charitable construction we can put on tho course of this self constituted mirror of South Carolina. . Tho Chairman of thc Republican State Executive Committee of Georgia has Is sued the following address, which has the merit of candor if nothing robre: "We believe the party should be fully organized throughout tho State, and that st Uiorough canvass of each Congressional i?k*itct ?u?uiul tn> _ ?xibi<o vy jxepuoucan ape altera. R may be beti i*% soww DitiHels to Huppert independent candidates*, but if tills policy is decided upon, it should be bf a Republican Convention properly called and by delegates fairiy chosen." This dodge will bo atf pted in some sections of ibid State, batfohr people will not foe surprised by Itv I* Ia well underv stood that any person who rena aa an in dependent candidate In South Carolina this year is the Radical candidate pr?-> rented undci' a different name.

D. Wyatt Aiken for re-election to Congress. Col. Aiken baa been an efficient and faithful repr?sentative of our Congressional Dis trict Kin.v tUe iourtn ui March lout. The Senate has concurred in the House amendment Vt adjourn on the 17th inst., and, unless the subject is reconsidered, Congress will adjourn at that time. The result of adjournment at that time will be to necessarily shorten the time for tho Potter Committee's investigation of the Presidential fraud, and may result in simply a preliminary report from the committee at this session. Congress has passed the appropriation authorizing President Hayes to pay the award of the Fishery Commission to Great Britain, if he thinks the national honor requires it. This is rather a strange power to confer on a President charged with taking the Presidency under the circumstances Mr. Heyes ac cepted it. However, as his personal in terest-, are not concerned in it, perhaps Mr. Hayes will not bo unable to fulfill the trust i Congress hos past and the President approved a bill admitting works of art imported from abroad free of duty. We fail to perceive any valid excuse for such legislation at this time, The argument that it will tend io elevate and improve tho last? of our people by placing works of art within reach of msny who would not otherwise purchase them is all very good if we were prosperous as a nation and AS individuals, but at tb!? tim* we need bread and meat decidedly worse than we do pat 1 tings or statutes, and the abolition of import duties upon clothes, sugars, coll?es or iron would have reduced tbs price* of the ordinary necessaries of iife, thereby conferring upon the tjuipg thousands of our nation far greeter ben efits than the sentimental advantages given by the permission to import pic tures free. The ex-Republican statesmon who be come troublesome to the workers for good government should at once be placed under indictment for their past crimes. If nothing elso will put a quietus on such men as Nash, Swells and Cardozo, they I should be nafely housed for a term of years within the walla of nomo public i prison, lt may be that their long lease of power in this State, and the easy life <?f lussry they ?sjoyed, baa canned them to forget the humbler but no less honest and upright trades of life, but, if so, a term in our State penitentiary would probably bring it back to their memory, and in turn causo them to for|tt the ways of politics. At least, the ?. i "pri ment should be tri.'d if they do not cease meddling with public affairs with which ?their rascality shows them to bo un j worthy of trust, I A second attempt to assassinate Kaiser , Wilhelm, Emperor of Germany, was I made last Saturday while he was riding in tho Avenue Unter-der-Linden, in Berlin. A doctor of Philology, an agri culturist, named Karl Nobelgen, waa the assassin this time, and a double-barrel shot cruu, loaded with small and back shot, was his weapon. He fired twice, lodging about thirty small shot in the Emperor's face and arm, from thc '-fleets of which ho bled* profusely and suffered great pain. No sorlous apprehension? are, however, feit on account of his wounds: When wounded his attendant supported ?.'.rn, and immediately carried him to the royal palaco, where his wounds were cared for. Large crowds gathered upon the streets, and great excitement prevailed. Nobelgen is a member of the Socialist clubs, and a quantity of arms were found in bis apartment. He fired several shots at those who attemp ted to arrest him, and when he found that he v.ould be captured he attempted to kill himself. He admits that he is thc iii ui; who attempted the MsssstimtloB, but refuses to reveal his motive for doing ap. This would be a good occasion for Germany to have a hanging, and Nobel gen would be a capital subject. General Grant may be poor, as his pretended Republican friends allege, but then be does not need money, if the ac counts, of bis European tour bo true. He ls the recipient of handsome enter tainments at the expense of the soveral towns which ho visits, and even travels in special trains of cars furnished to convey him from place to place. In Sunderland, ono of tho town.-, which he visited, he was handsomely entertained by the municipal authorities on somo $2,000 of publie money. The tax-payers objected tc ?his expense, and went into the Coutts to prevent the town officials from levying taxes to reimburse the treasury to this extent, on the ground that It waa an unnecessary and illegal expense. The tax-payers prevailed, and the town officials will have tho privilege of paying the bill themselves under the decision of. Lord Chief Justice Cock burn who held tho expense to be illegal. Whoa tba officials of Sunderland get through paying for their banquet , to Grant they wiii realize what an expen sive dead-head the General makes him self, and they will no donbt be surprised to learn that such a man is in needy cir-1 cumstances. lt Gen. Grant ls really In need, be will have to come down very much in bis style of living after he re turns to America. The Republican friepds of Gen. Grant ic the Senate seem In earnest about do* airing to retire bim as a General of the army on the ground thc; he Is in needy circumstances, but |? fe shrewdly inspec ted that Blaine wishes to retire him in order to get him ont of the way of the nomination for President in 1680, at which time the Senator from' Maine is willing to become the Republican pack horse and take the nomination, which ls almost equivalent to defeat. Tho argu ment about Gen, Grant's poverty is not generally ballaved to be sincore, and tho Angosta Chronicle & Co-ut?M fatalist put? the situation forcibly ss forjo#i'< ''Pen. Grant is poor, very poor, He was in the aervico of the government for fifteen yeas*, and during that time received as salary over five hundred thousand dol lars. His presents'and perquisites prob ably amounted la tw^i hundred and fifty ?houaaw' rho Nation needy warrior." Oar Augusta contem porary, however, forget* thc distin guished smoker's greatest poverty. Gen. Grant went into tho Presidency tho hon ored hero of the late war, but by bb as sociation with the Pe I knap* and Bab cock?, and the appointment of his rela tives to office, he ca.ii?. out bankrupt in reputation as a statesman or a patriot. And now Alexander H. Stephens is the last Bub? criber to thc Radical doc trine that to investigate fraud is to Mex icanize this government. It is a pity that it was not Mexicanized, if this is what the term mes ii, about ten years ago. It would have saved this country of the disgrace heaped upon i's public service by tho fraudulent conduct of its Delano?, its Belknaps, its whiskey rings, its nepotic president, and last and great est, it would have prevented the Return ing Board frauds, and averted the theft of the prr .ldcncy by tho Republicans at the hu t election. Mr. Stephens does bi? iu?oilect aud bis putriotism very poor justice when ho has to borrow tho lan guage of Eugene Hale and 1'oHtmastei General Key to express his ideas. Hit letter smacks strongly of a Republican flavor, and was evidently written in sup port df theso luminaries of the Radical camp, against the action of the Demo crat.'), who are exposing the infamy o: the presidential steul. W'J will puhlisi Mr. Stephens'latter in full next wjck and our readers can form their own esti mate of hiu course. We hope the Jay h not far distant when the country will b< freo from the presence of such psucdo Democrats io the balls of Congress. Postmaster General Key bas given ad ditlonal evidenco of h?B love for ofQc< and his servility in order to retain bi position. The letter,- which we publiai elsewhere, indicates the true character c tho man. He realized that his positio in tho Cabinet was in danger, and ?mme diately be writes this letter, which place him outside of the Democratic party an into tho fold of Republicanism. H makes his cry of alarm in order to ?hick if possible, tho Republicans from the en posure of their iranda. It is in ba tsi>to for him to write this letter above a others, for the investigation implicate the President who is giving him o flic and Mr. Key evidently writes it to repa tho appointment and hold on to tho pi sition. He catches up tho ridiculous ci of Mexicanization, and becomes moi blutant than Eugene Hale, in dcclarin that the So?-h must take thc rc3pone bilty of this investigation, and that v, are now menaced with civil war. Sur ly Mr. Key's brain has become feverc by the fear of decapitation to see ar such consequences. At any rate, if the: ia any danger of revolution it is from tl fact that a fraud holds the President! office, and does not desire an Invcstig lion of the crimes of his party. V think this investigation does mean a re olution, but it is to be a bloodless on and will be effected at the ballot bo The result of the investigation, if we a not disappointed, will revolutionize tl government, at the next election t President, from tho Republicans to tl Democrats, and then such mon as W Key will retire from public life. Such revolution, however, does not fright the people. It 1B a consummation grei ly to be desired. Hon. Alexcuder H. Stephens hos toi grapheu to Augusta that he will sta io? Reelection to Congress from his ? trier, and wo hope that tin result of t election will leave bim standing uncle ed. Mr. Stephens is a man of fine 1 tellectual powers, but as a politician a statesman he fills to the brim our idea a failure. Tako away from him 1 egotism and self-will, and he would bi pitiable public man, but ho has been tho habit of telling people of his gre ness in unmeasured terms until ma have actually become his blind followc What he bas ever done to justify t following ia not exactly easy to tell, \ less ii bo tho reputation he has achtel aa a successful lawyer of ability.

A 'fJtk Spittle T/ctfer from Judge Key. WAswsiGToa, May 28. Tbc circumstances attending the pass flge of the Potter resolution to Investigate the alleged frauds in the Preaideatisl election of 1870 in the States of Louisi ana and Florida, together with the sub Bcquent declarations of many influential Democratic politicians and journalists, fives evidence that if both Houses of the 'orty-sixtb Congress are Democratic, the majority intend to oust President Hi yt J and inaugurate Mr. Tilden. The title of President Hayes was settled irre vocably by thc rorty-fouith Congress in the act creating the Electoral Com mission, under which he was legally de clared and legally inaugurated. The Forty-fifth Congress has no roore right to dispute his election than ne bas to question the title of any victorious con testant to his seat iu that body. The Forty-sixth Congress will have no more right to ignoro him and to recognise bis defeated contestant, Mr. Tilden, than iff. Hayes would have to send a file of soldiers to the House of Representatives to unseat a Democrat whom he might consider to have been wrongfully scated or /rauduiently elected. The leaders in this desperate attempt to Mexicanizo our institutions rely confidently upon the "solid South" to furnish the bulk of tho Democratic majority in the next House of Representatives, the Senate being al ready secured. Remembering the en couragement which Northern Democrat;) in 1800 and 1861 extended to the South ern blutes to secede, and the manner in which their promises of aid and comfort were fulfilled, can the Southern people afford to ?oin this revolutionary move ment with the certainty that when tho inevitable hour of peril comes they wi i i sprain be left unassisted and alone to meet the storm from the North ? Once more united by thia attempt to revive an issue whese settlement was forced by public opinion upon an unwilling Con gress in the dark days of February" 1877, when civil war over the disputed election was imminent, and patriots trembled for the safety of republican institutions, and tho Southern members of Congress averted the danger by compelling the completion of the electoral count under a law which both parties in Congress had elected ; but now the representatives from the Southern States, with a very few exceptions, have joined a movement to subvert the results of their former pa triotic action and to remand tho country to that anarchy from which, less than two years ago, it was saved by their ef forts. Grant that in permitting autono my of all States and in appointing citi zens to office in the South instead of strangers, President Hayes has but dis charged his constitutional duty. Does that excuse Southern representatives for attempting to invalidate hie title, which they established? or will it justify them in bringing the country again in danger of civil wer in 'an effort to unseat him and inaugurate Mr. Tilden ? The South must now face the uost momentous crisis in its history since 1861. To en dorse the recent conduct of their repre sentatives is to admit the truth of the charges that the people of the South care nothing for the welfare of the Union, de sire tho downfall of the Republic and would rejoice to see it again Involved in civil war. If their representatives have not reflected their sentiments, as I be lieve to be the ease- then the people of the Southern States should take care that in the Forty sixth Congress they are rep resented by men who will defeat the dis turbers of tho public peace and prevent the Mexicanization of our institutions. To do this, they may be compelled to act independent of the Democratic party. Recent events havo demonstrated tue in ability of tho Democratic members of Congress to resist the mandates of the caucus and the terrors of the party lash -the one wielded and the other inspired by men who seem willing to endanger tko welfare of tbs country sud the stabil ity of republican institution* for the sake of revenge on political opponents and in the hone of dividing the spoils of victory. If the Democratic representatives of the South could not resist the caucas com mand to pass the Potter resolution una tsendsd sad without d?bats, ?iow will they be able in the Forty-sixth Congress to resist a similar command to ignore Mr. Hayes as President and to recognize Mr. Tilden ? It is, therefore, the duty of the Southern people to aflbid crowning evi dence of their renewed devotion to the Union in which they now enjoy every right of citizenship, and are subject only to restrictions laid upon every citizen, by sending representatives to the Forty-sixth Congress pledged to resist at all hazards revolutionary schemes of mischief mak ers who seam to have gained control of the House of Representatives of the Forty-fifth Congress. To ?his end the people of every District should meet pub organiz? auu resolve io support no person for Congress who has given aid to this movement, and who will not fledge himself to sustain the title of 'resident Hayes during the term for which he was elected against all attempts at its-overthrow. Only in this way can a grave danger to the Republic bo avert ed and convincing proof be given that the confidcuce was not misplaced which President Hayes manifested in the South when he withdrew the troops from tho State Houses of South Carolina and Lou isiana. I have spoken plainly and earnestly, for I feel that I should be un worthy io represent the South in the Ad ministration were I to remain silent now. Invited to the Cabinet as a Southern man. to see that justice was done to the South, I was required neither to apolo gise, for my record nor to disown my po litical principles. It is my duty now to warn the people of the South of tho dan ger which threatens the couutry. No man need hope that the schemes of the men who have engineered the movement to unseat President Hayes eau be carried out without a bloody civil war. To avert this danger t confidently rely upon the patriotism and honor of the people of my native section. D. M. KEY. j Under the Huperviclon or the Executive ConttuiUce oi f arnon* Grane?.

When, the farriers witless the destruc tion of so much of their grain by mst aa we kee In oar fields the present year, they naturally give sumo thought to the cause and means of prevention. If we under* stand the case., then we are. prepared to tone extant to apply remedies. That tome preventative application may bc applied, wo have no doubt; and if Pw.?. Prentiss is correct in tho theory laid down in his address recently delivered | st Ithaca, New York, there it at least some hope of cominerjclqg ilia use of .nccesaful means of pr?vention, on. puy next wheat crops, TPP careful attention of our farmers is invited to tho follow? lng extract: Every one, said tho Professor, is more or less acquainted with the soft, various 1) ped and colored succulent pla??s wir h abound in our woods and meadows and are known under the common names of toad stools, mushrooms and puff-balls. But bow many arc ibero that snow that all forms of rust, smut, mildew .md mould are produced by the growth of a similar group of plants, onl) much smaller io ?tee? Many of this latter class are so Kulali that they can be seen only with the aid of the microscope, yet they are found everywhere, ?nd the number of different species is immense. The quar ti ni neurally arises, "Of what use are these plants of this low order of {nov. tu V Some we know are beneficial, while many others are injurious. A large number of tho mushroom family are e diblc, some of I thr puff-balls are used for staunching the fl' a <>f blood, but hy far the most valua ble species are those which produce fer menta in the manufacture of liquors. Every housewife knows that in making bread yeast in some form is added. This yeast is nothing but a fungoid plant. When placed in the d ugh these plants multiply very rapidly ; acids are formed, and thd bread ri.-..'-", or becomes light. Mildew, mould, smut and rust are exam ?les of the most injurious kinds of fungi, hese are all very destructive to vege?a Uon. A kind cf mildew attacked the grape vines in France and at one time spread over nearly the whole country, causing great lort and suffering. The history of the "potato rot" in Ireland furnishes ano or illustration of tho powers of fung. In one season it de stroyed nearly the whole crop, and, as this was the principa) food of the people, they found themselves without subsis tence^ and many starved to death. If we take a common puff-bald and press it in the hand wc observe a cloud of dust rising from it. This dust is its seed, or w' t is called spores. One ball may produce millions of these spores. Rust and smut, as seen in wheat and other grain, are thought to be distinct species, but they pro not. The vegetable nnrt of these fungi, which answers to the roots in higher planta, consista of a large number of minute, delicate threads, in tertwining, and often mutin" one to the other by means of laten. branchleta. These threads permeate the leaves and stalks of the different kinds of grain on which the rust appears. From these threads,, or roots, the reproductive narla appear through fissures, giving the plants affected a reddish appearance that we call rust. Thees reddish colored masses con- j taiu thousands of spores, which are blown about by the wind. They fall upon other plants, and if the weather is favorable will sprout, grow and ripen their seed in two days, so that in a snort time a whole field may bo badly injured or almost to tally destroyedt Tho spores from tho rust develop into srr'it; thus smut and rust alternate, smut c Tying through the winter the spores' which produce .the rust. Sometimes rust is moro abundant, and sometimes smut, depending upon tho conditions favoring the germination of the spores. The remedy for smut and rust is to avoid sowing the spores with the Becd. The spores may be killed by wetting the grain in brine, and then roll ing it in lime. If this is properly done it kills tho seed of the rust without in juring the grain. Milk and Batter. Wo saw a very interesting account recently in the ANDERSON INTELLIGEN CER, of the wonderful product of good, rich milk, from a cow that we almost in ferred had developed her remarkable lactescence since the inauguration of the fence .law in Anderson County. Be this as it may, if it be tiue, she is a sensible cow, aud we have no doubt there are many, very many like her in the State. If the homely, uncouth, abomi nable-woll, we won't call it-worm fen ces could be abolished, and the faithful, patient creature:), that have all the past warm winter and spring been coupelled to search for enough food on tho com mons aod in tba public road to okv out a miserable existence upon, were to be taken op, housed and fed ai that Anderson cow was, we would ere long have a country flowing in milk, and no doubt the honey would be coming along after a while. Treated, however, " thc cows of South Carolina are treated, they are extraordi nary creatures in many respects. We think we have seen some that could live through any winter on the anticipation of getting a plenty of grass the next summer. Thousands of them 1 have other qualitiea that are aa hidden as the minea of the earth, because no effort has ever been made to de-/elope them. They have all, at one time or another, been tested as to their resistunce-to-starvation qualities, and generally proved very valuable on that score. But soldom bave many of them been experimented with to provo their powers of endurance in a re verse way ; and if onr people could only bo induced to try the experiment of proving how much any one or all of their cows could eat daily, for say three months at a time, there would be such a surplus j of good rich milk in every man's dairy , that we would have to seod for oor neigh bor's pigs to come over aod help consume it, especially if we didn't care about going to the- trouble of having oar own pigs, which is a possossioo that a very gt-eat many of our people are oowadaya averse to. ? Aod theo too, ii' we bad a surplus of milk we would in all probability have a superfluity of butter, and could use it to both eat and cook with, and would there fore avoid the necessity of eating or Using oieomagarine, or that lard made from suffocated bogs,aa account of both whiob articles we recently gave in these col umns. Bat it does not follow because a man bas a abundance of milk, that there fore be hos a surplus of butter, for but ter is a very valuable product from the lacteal fluid of cows. We once imported a cow from Scotland, that could not be, mado to give over oight quatta of milk at' each milking ; and yet from that quanti ty of her milk we have often seen more butter produced than wo could get from sixteen quints of other cow's milk. Her eight quarts poured into a two gallon jar would float a cream in due time three or four inches thick, whilst the milk from Borne others would be covered with cream no thicker thao a wafer, and the milk wheo the wafer was taken off would ha n/itktncr Kn* "Rina John."
