The Democratic County Executive Committee at its meeting, on hist Mon day, fixed upon the 18th day of next Oc . tober as. the day for holding the primary election in Anderson, County, for the purpose of nominating the Democratic candidates for the general election. A resolution was also adopted inviting the I presidents and members of the executive committees of the various subordinate! clubs to meet with the County Executive Committee at Anderson on salesday in ? September next, at 10 o'clock a. m. The Democrats of the Eighth Georgia; CoDgresaional District have held their nominating - convention and Delected'as! their standard bearer .Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. There was .but one vote cast against him, though a motion to endorse h is letter to Col. Cassy, announcing that >. he would run independently of the nomi ' ] nation, was laid on the table by an al? most unanimous vote. ? Thus the Demo , crata of this District have been bull - dozed by Mr. Stephens info nominating] him, although they do not endorse his '. actions. : The-primary election in Abbeville County came off on last Saturday, and resulted in the following nominations for the Democratic candidates of the County: For Senator?Dr. J. C. Maxwell. . For Representatives?W. K. Bradley, E. R. Hemphill, J. H. Rice, H. H. y Harper, S. McGowan. ,\ ;i'pr Probate Judge?J. Fuller Lyflns. St ^For CountyCommisrioner--G. M.Mat -:tison. No candidate having, received a major? ity of the votes cast for the other offices, I I another, election will be held to fill these positions on next Saturday. The New York Herald, true to its rep-1 Citation, is shifting ground about the third term question, .without taking hold of it, for or against Grant, with an evident de? sire to ascertain whether he wiU be the '-' next President or not before it commits itself on the propriety of his: canvass in 1880 for a third election to the presi? dency. The Herald was the staunch at ; opponent of the third term two years ago, and it is a little amusing to.see how it is preparing to advocate the same doc? trine if opposed, if it'becomes convinced that Grant is to be re-elected President Su 1880. The Herald cow says that its ' opposition is to three consecutive terms, and thai it sees no reason why a Presi? dent should not be re-elected for any i.umber of terms, provided .suchi terms * ?re not consecutive, for the ex-President < ould not use. the appointing power in such cases to re-elect himself. This is the position of the fathers of the republic on this question. From the plution down to the recent war there was never a President who thought of, or would have consented to, a third term, and the- fact that General Grant through Iis friends is seeking to secure a third term as. President, against all of the precedents of former Presidents, shows that he is an unworthy and.dangerous. ic servant. -It is true he pretends to desire to keep out of politics in the fu but this is only intended to induce is country to believe that the people are: dug him to tau, while as a matter of he has his agents zealously working to. secure his nomination. The New i'ork Herald did valiant service to pre? sent his nomination in 1876, and if it ?fo serve the republic it should iofinueito oppose Gen. Grant, for he is the moat dangerous man to the cause of Fi ee government that exists in America. . The return of Gen. Grant to the ruler ehip of thn nation sill mean the destruc . t:on of liberty and the centralization of the'? government. The friends of the onion of our fathers will rally through? out the whole land in the next election, and if Gen. Grant should be the candi? date- Republicanism will, we believe, be ?utterly overwhelmed. ?- TheSpringfleld ApuWuwn of Thurs d ly last says: "The case of H. H; Ki m p t<;n, late unancia! agent of South Carolina, continues in ttatu gw. The postponement of the bearing upon the law points con? nected with Governor Hampton's requi ? aition, which is to be held before Attorney . General Train at Boston next Tuesday, was upon the express condition that he ?'lould not be released on bail. . The laws of Massachusetts bearing upon the sub? ject are very definite in requiring evi? dence tbat the person wanted is a crimi? nal. They provide that no person shall be given up unless the application is ac? companied by sworn evidence that the party charged is a fugitive from justice, and by a duly attested copy of an indict? ment?or complaint made before a court or' magistrate authorized to receive it. The first affidavit sent on from South Carolina with the requisition papers sim? ply represented that Kimpton was a fu? gitive from justice. But in similar cases that have arisen it has been held that it must be shown that the fugitive escaped through no neglect of the State from which he fled to prosecute and convict him before) he had an opportunity to do ao. A second affidavit has accordingly .. been sent on from South Carolina to the e?ectthat Kimpton fled from the State before the discovery of the bribery of which it is alleged he is guilty. It is admitted tbat Kimpton baa been legally i indicted in South Carolina for that crime. The Massachusetts statute requires the Attorney General to report to the Gor ?ernor not only upon the legality, but also the expediency of surrendering the person demanded. If, therefore, Mr. K imp ton's counsel make it appear, as they will en :<toavor to, that he has not been indicted ic good faith, but is wanted as a witness la other cases, it is held that the Attorney jWeneral can legally report it as inexpe? dient to deliver him up to the South -Carolina officers." OUR FLORIDA CORRESPONDENCE. From Anderson to Florida Through the Country?Measures and Annoyancei Inci? dent to the Trip. Alafia, Fla., July 20, 1878. Editor Anderson Intelligence : My last letter was brought rather ab? ruptly to a close by a summons to a pa? tient, and left me about to strike camp at Mr. Culpepper's, in Washington County, Ga. Rain had been falling during the night,. and the prospects for a wet day are good.- Soon old Sol shows himself, however, and we are cheered by his rays as we move on to Sandersville. . This morning, February 21st., we pass lands of David Dickson, of Hancock, the great Georgia farmer, who, we are told, owns thirty thousand acres, lying on both sides of the road, and extending through to Sparta, a distance of 15 or 20 miles. This land is a mulatto land, and said to be very productive?adapted especially to cotton. We regret much that it is bleak season (February) when old win? ter has chilled everything by his blast, for wo should like to see a growing crop on the lands of one of whom we have heard and read so much in connection with farming, for though not under his direct supervision, all of his tenants, I am told, farm by his directions. One of them we saw told us he made fifteen heavy bags of cotton with himself, little boy and wife and one horse, besides enough corn and meat to do him and have some to spare. ' This looks like living. To-night we camp in a large school house, nine miles from Sandersville, and near Mr. Tom Worthens', whose permis? sion we have to occupy it. Convenient to this house ia a negro cabin, and for two bits I get t h a mamma to bake enough bread for two days' rations, which is a great relief to my lady. Next morning we move out at 7 J of the clock and push on towards Sandersville, which we reach about 10} of the clock. Here Fred loses one of his dogs, old Drive; who had got off on a chase and could not be blown off. T ride back a couple of miles for him, but can hear nothing of him. So have to abandon him. Old Boots had got off on a. similar chase just after we grossed Sa? vannah River and was lost, and Fred is thus left with but one dog. As my lady wishes to stop before night, we drive only 22 miles, and stop at Mr. Frank Orr s, 13 miles beyond Sandersville and twenty miles from Dublin, in - County. Here I must tell a little joke on my lady, which I should have certainly told Mr. Orr, bu. I was afraid of bis wife. Mr. Orr ia very deaf, and after getting per? mission to stop with him and instructions where to drive my waggon, I went to ex? tend directions to Fred, who had charge of waggon and mules, while Mr. Orr went out to speak to my lady. When I got back to the waggon where she was, I noticed a very distressed look, and was. met with a decided shake of the head and motion of the hand, which meant to drive on. This I did not understand, however, but when I went to help her out she did not think she would stop she said. -Why ? says L I am afraid of that old man, says she. Nonsense, says I, it will be late in the night before we can -reach another'bouse, and the mules may get scared.' That was enough,, she was out in a trice, and as she walked up to the house with a tear glistening in her eye, she turned to me and says, Day, this did man has got two wives. Why, bleu me, says I, if that is all, you need not be alarmed, for I'm sure with his experience he will never want a third one. Into the housd we march, and now it is my time. Good-evening, Mrs. Orr, says I, in a very loud tone, this ic my wife Mrs. 0. Gooc.-evening, says one of the old ladies, we are not all deaf in here I Excuse me madam, says I, I have stopped with so many kind, deaf people since I left home, (it will be remembered at the last house I stopped, Mr. Culpepper was deaf,) and in fast being a little deaf myself, from habit, I am obliged to speak loud bo that I can hear myself, whether I'm right or not This amused them both, and made a fait friend of the old man, who was very kind to us, refusing pay for our ac? commodations, and directing us to a friend's house in Dublin, where we could stop Saturday night and Sunday, and be kindly received. I will not forget to mention that Mr. Orr'b having two wives was an odd fancy of my lady's, induced' by his manners and his telling her to get out and go in, as he had two old ladies in there who would take care of her, al? luding to his wife and nister-in-law, who was living with them. We get a late start from Mr. Orx's, owing to one of the mules tearing up a collar, which bad to be fixed up some way, and then it is raining again, and such things will cause delay. Only twenty miles to Dublin, though, and we do not design going farther We reach. Dublin without any mishap, and stop with Mr. Wm. Jones, who is one of the merchants of the village, and Mr. Or^s friend before alluded to. This little village, which has a famous name, is in appearance about like old Pendle ton, and like her, too, so far as I was able to judge, was full of cleverness and hos? pitality. In the morning after we got there we walked down to the river (the Oconee) with Mr. Jones, where the boys saw their first steamboat. It is a small boat that will carry about one hundred bags of cotton, and runs up to a station called No. 14, where the railroad crosses the river, and about twenty-five miles from Dublin. We' crossed the river in a flat and went to an old sandy field with Mr. J., who wanted to show the boys a gopher hole and salamanda beds, which were novel to them. The gophers lie dorm tut at this season, and don't come out until in tfce summer. We soon found plenty of holes and any amount of saja mauda beds, but when we get to Ijbrids these will be quite common. W^^ainot' speak too wairoly of the kindn^'of-.tiis excellent gentleman and hiarfaidly; to us. In fact, this has character j all of the Georgians with whom weuave come in contact. Gv H. S. ? It is known in Washington that shortly before the separation of General Bristow from General Grant's Cabinet there arose the bitterest feeling between the two, It is now positively asserted that General Grant, before he sailed for Europe, placed in the hands of a friend certain papers to the prejudice of Bristow, to be used only in case the 1 attars name was sent to the Senate in connection with any office, and that this is the reason Mr. Hayej has never offered Bristow an office. The story has a doubtful look. t?ov. Hampton at Spartanburg. My friends of Spartanburg! I am sure that I could give yon no higher evi? dence of my appreciation of the compli? ment yon have paid me on this occasion than hy coming to meet you face to face now, arising as I have done from a sick bed for that purpose. I have come be? cause I had pledged the people of Spar tanburg months ago that I would be here. I have come, because whether in health or sickness, I propose during this canvass to dedicate all my time, my labor, my energy and ability, to the great work of securing to South Carolina all that we won in 70. I have come, my fellow-citizens, to greet you again, and I may say that there is no district in South Carolina in which more profound memo? ries are stirred within me than in this. It was in this county, and it was near this spot where we are assembled to-day, that eleven of my ancestors who had come hither from Virginia to live were murdered by the Indians. Near this spot they were buried, and if therefore there is one county in South Carolina with which I feel identified more than another, it is this?the first home of my ancestors and their last resting place. 1I have come to tell you of the canvass we are about to enter into. I have come to try to arouse you, because I know you will do your duty if you are called upon, and because I feel that it is my duty to warn you that every man in the county must devote himself to the work from now until the 5th of November. In great Democratic counties like this it will not do to become too lukewarm. It will not do to rest on your incomparable strength believing that the enemy is dead, and that we can afford to sit idly by at ease. We must not be caught nap? ping. The Republican party propose, at the last moment, to bring out its candi? dates, as we are told, or at any rate, to regain control of the Legislature. They intend to try to make us lose the repre? sentatives in Congress. You surely do not intend to give up Evins, and we must not only keep him there, but place others by his side. It is time South Carolina should be heard in the National councils. It is time we should send men there to repre? sent the honor and patriotism of South Carolina, and I warn our people through? out the whole State to devote themselves to that supreme effort. I desire to see them go into this canvass with a deter? mination to win, and if the men and women of South Carolina will work in this canvass as they did in the last, we will gain a victory greater and more im? portant than the last. We are not yet free. It is true that when I was here two years ago our State was garrisoned threrfghout its length and breadth by Federal troops. Now, thanks be to God, the State garrisons itself, and tyrants rule no more. She is free, but will not remain so if the people become luke? warm and throw off their armor in the face of an active enemy. You can elect yonr State ticket, and by an overwhelm? ing vote, but that is a small matter. Yon must elect a decided majority in the Leg? islature, and must contribute your part ?to the election of a majority to the lower House of Congress. Bear this in mind, that if the Presidential election in 1880 should be thrown into the House of Rep resentives the vote will be by States? each State casting one vote, and that one vote will be determined by the majority in each representation. You have now but two Representatives and. the Repub? lican party three, and you can perceive that if this delegation was called upon to vote now for President they would cost a vote for a Republican. You must re? verse that and place a delegation there that, would vote for a Democratic nomi? nee if the election is thrown into the House. I trust, however, that when the next election comes we will roll up such an overwhelming Democratic majority throughout the whole country that who? ever is the nominee of the Democratic party will be elected, and that when elected they w;" ' i men who will dare to tale the place . .kick the people shall have called them. ? I cannot speak to you longer. I have only come to thank you for the kindness and* honor you have shown to me and to appeal to you, as South Carolinians, and as citizens of this great old "District" to be true to yourselves and your record in the past, and to roll in even a larger ma? jority' than the lost. Davidson College, N. 6., Aug. 7. Me. Editor: Thinking you will not object to a few lines from the Old North State, I will attempt to give you a few dots. You have, doubtless, before this heard all of the particulars of the elec? tion in this State, and I will not trouble you with any election news proper. The North Carolina press seems jubilant over the victory, which gives the Democrats nearly seventy on joint ballot in the Leg? islature. With all the great fuss about Independent Democrats, Radicals and Nationals, they have elected but the merest handful of their candidates. These will have no influence in politics. From the mutilation of the Indepen-. dents in the election, there will probably be culled a lesion to the Democrats to beware of Independent candidates for the Senate. There will be no such elec? tion a* that of Merrimon for his present term. Whoever is elected must be elec? ted as a straightout Democrat. Although the Old North State has gained a sweep? ing victory, it is not without its lesson. Josia Turner, of Orange County, was elected to the Legislature as an Indepen? dent Democrat. He pleaded powerfully to the people, alleging the great wrongs done to him by the Democratic party in not making him their candidate, and the popularity of the man gained him eight hundred Democratic votes. He is said now to think of running for Congress, and with such a Democratic backing, tbe Rad's will perhaps elect him if he runs. Tbe danger to the Democratic party lies in men so far forgetting themselves as to listen to a bolter, no matter what his previous record is. It is a notorious fact that they always appeal, not to their own party, but to any and everybody, and it is significant that the Radicals are so ready to help them. Curious, isn't it, when then Independents are such Jeffer BOniau and staunch Democrats! Let South Carolina put down every man who bolts the party, for it is certain that Radicals would not vote for simon-pure Democrats, and the mere fact of their voting for Independents tells exactly what tbe so-called Democrats are. Some of. the North Carolina papers were so determined to win that they advised 'committees to be formed to see that every Democrat voted, and to haul those una? ble to walk to tbe polls. Let South Carolina note: anything to beat Rads 1 Everything is quiet here, as this is va? cation. After September 12th, however, when the College opens there will be life enough. Davidson'College is said by Prof. Gildersleeve, of Johns-Hopkins Univereity, to be tbe best College in the South. It has now a Preparatory De? partment, taught by the College Profes? sors, and affords an excellent opportunity to my one to prepare for College, OCCASIONAL YELLOW FETER. Distressing* Accounts from the Infected Districts. Grenada, Misa., August 17.?The scenes in this plague-stricken town du? ring the past twenty-four hours beggars description. The strongest men and wo? men are helpless and all the children are sick, dying or dead. It is indeed pitiful to see entire families prostrated arfll swept away in a few brief hours. The official death list for the past twenty-four hours is seventeen. The population has decreased to a It itie over two hundred whites. There are but few new cases, there being so little material to work upon. The deaths are all old cases. M. Freedman and wife, of New Oileans, en route for New York, were put off the train this morning. Both were cases of well developed yellow fever. Washington, August 17.?Reports to the Surgeon-General of the United States Marine Hospital Service for the past week show, in New Orleans, 471 cases of fever and 121 deaths, making a total of 902 cases and 239 deaths. There were 108 new cases and 29 deaths during the 24 hours to noon yesterday. At Port Eada there were 33 cases and 5 deaths during the week to yesterday evening. Grenada, Miss., August 17.?Since the first case of yellow fever, July 25th, to noon yesterday, there have been 125 cases and 47 deaths. Mobile, August 17.?One yellow fever death yesterday. A woman in a house where baggage, believed to be from New Orleans, was stored, died of fever re? sembling yellow fever. Another similar case was developed in the same neigh? borhood. VicxsBUBG, August 17.?Yellow fever has appeared since the last report. The first death occurred August 12th. Ad? vices to noon to-day report an outbreak of the disease near the river front, from whence it is spreading rapidly. Havana, August 17.?There were 99 deaths from yellow fever and 9 from small pox during the week ending Au? gust 10th. There was a decrease in the fever at Matanzas during the week end? ing August 9th. New Orleans. August 17.?Total cases of fever to date 975. New cases for the week, 509. Total deaths, 266. Deaths for the week, 140. The Howard Association, in view of the widespread sickness and distress in the city, have de? termined to extend such measures of re? lief as the generosity of their fellow citizens will.enable them to do. They gubliah an appeal to the citizens of New cleans for contributions, stating that they have not a dollar in the treasury. The last report from Port Eads shows thirty-four cases of fever. Fifteen are convalescent. Total deaths, six. Evansvtlle, Ind., August 17.?The City Council and Board of Health to-day ordered the establishment of a rigid quarantine against all steamers and trains from the South, and have taken precautions against communication from any of the infected fever districts. Pittsbdbo, August 17.?The Board of Health quarantined all boats and traders from the South and West. A public meeting has been called to raise funds for the sufferers at the South. Memphis, August 17.?Twenty-three new cases of fever and nine deaths to? day. New Orleans., August 17.?In the past twenty-four hours seventy-three new cases of fever and twenty-four deaths. New York, August 17.?James Biley recently arrived from New Orleans Bick with what was supposed to be yellow fever, was to-day removed to quarantine. Pensacola, August 17.?The Ameri? can brig Akbar, of Machias, Maine, from Cuba, is reported off Pensacola bar with the mate dead and the crew sick with fever. As any pilot boarding her will be detained at quarantine until frost ap Sears, the pilots all refuse to bring the rig in, and it is probable the vessel will sail north. The schooner Laura Semi; went ashore on Santa Rosa Island near Fort Pickens last night. The captain'd wife being in child bed, could not bo moved. The crew have been quaran? tined at Fort Pickens, the vessel having come from Cuba. The Chlneiie Sand Pear. Just now a good deal of attention is being drawn to a new pear, the Chines a Sand Pear, so called in the Sonth, and especially in Georgia and South Carolina.. A correspondent of the New York World, writing from Macon, Ga., gives a history of the new fruit, which we condense, but state the main points of interest' in rela? tion to it. The Chinese Sand Pear, or the Le Conte as some call it, is not a re? cent introduction, the parent tree being alive two years ago in Liberty County, having been bought in New York or Philadelphia, and planted there nearly thirty years ago by Maj. Jack Le Conte. He bought of a tree dealer, the seller having labeled it "Chinese Sand Pear," and saying at the same time the thin,; would amount to little or nothing, for the fruit would not ripen in this country. But it did mature in Liberty County, and proved such a vigorous grower, with such desirable fruit, that it was propa? gated from cuttings, and has latterly be? come well known and widely introduced in Southern and Southwest Georgia, where the climate seems peculiarly adap? ted to it. The tree is free from disease, bears early, matures its fruit in August, stands drought remarkably well, and is a fast grower, attaining great height, and baviug a conelike or pyramidal form. The writer states tbat the Chinese Sand Pear is the only one which they can make grow from cuttings, and in this re? mark shows that the variety has at least one feature which decides it to be very different from others, and suggests that it is this remarkable capacity for repro? duction which renders it so hardy, so prolific, and so well suited to the soil and climate of Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. We shall be glad to hear mors concerning the Chinese Sand Pear from some of our numerous subscribers and correspondents in Georgia ; and glad to hear that there is at least one pear that, under all kinds of neglectful or careless treatment, bears as regularly and abun? dantly as those venerable trees planted along the second bottoms of the Ohio and Wabash rivers more than a century ago by the early French settlers of the Mississippi Valley.?Some and Farm. Beheaded for His Crime.?A dis? patch from Berlin, dated August 16th. says that Emil Hoedel, "the tinsmith from Leipzig," who attempted the assas? sination of the Etnperor William on May 11, in the Avenue Unter den Linden, an the Emperor was returning from a drive with his daughter, the Grand Duchess of Baden, has been executed. He was be ? headed this morning at an early houir in the court yard of the new prison. The imperial warrant decreeing that justice should take its course, was signed on thu 8th of the present month. Hoedel's age was about twenty-one, On the trial he protested that be had not intented to take the life of the Em? peror, but sought to sacrifice his own lifo in a public manner in order to create sympathy for the suffering people. Nu? merous witnesses, however, testified that Hoedel levelled his weapon direct at the Emperor. When informed that his execution wan fixed upon, Hoedel became deathly pale. He wished to plead for pardon, but booh recovered composure when told that thin was useless. He asked for wine for sup? per and drank to the Commune and the. leaders of the Social Democracy. When the sentence was read on the scaffold he spat disdainfully and cried "Bravo 1" Ho repulsed the ministrations of the chaplain, declaring them useless, as it would tako years to convert him. Fifty persons at? tended the execution, which is generally approved. Official notice of the exocu tion has been posted throughout the city an a warning. It required but a single stroke of the axe to decapitate Hoedel. The remains were immediately buried. Proroguing Parliament. London, August IG. The session of Parliament was pro? rogued today by royal commission. The following is the text of the Queen's speech : My Lords and Gentlemen: When, in a critical condition of pub? lic affairs, you assembled at the com? mencement of the year I pointed out to you that in the interest of my empire, precautions might become necessary for which I appealed to your liberality to provide. At the same time I assured you that no efforts in the cause should be wanting on my part. Your response was not ambiguous, and contributed largely to the pacific solution of the difficulties which then existed. The terms of agreement between .'Russia and the Porte, so far as they af? fected preexisting treaties,were after an in? terval of 'discussion, submitted to a con? gress of the powers, and their councils have resulted in a peace which I am thankful to believe is satisfactory and likely to be durable. The Ottoman Empire has not emerged from a disastrous war without severe loss; but arrange? ments which have been made, while favorable to the subjects of the Porte, have secured to it a position of indepen ence which can be upheld against ag? gression. I have concluded a defensive convention with the Sultan which has been laid before you. It gives, as re? gards his Asiatic empire, a more distinct expression to the engagements which, in principle, I, together with other powers, accepted iu 1856, but of which the form has not been found practically effectual. The Sultan has on the other hand, bound himself to adopt and carry into effect measures necessary for securing good government in these provinces. In order to promote the objects of this agreement I have undertaken the occupation and administration of the Island of Cyprus. In aiding to bring about the settlement which has taken pluce I have been as? sisted by the discipline and high spirit of my forces bv sea and land, by the al? acrity with which my reserves respond to my call, by the patriotic offers of mili? tary aid by my peolpe in the colonies and by the proud desire of my Indian army to be reckoned among the defenders of the British Empire?a desire justified by the soldierly qualities of the force recent? ly quartered in Malta. The spontaneous offers of troops made by many of the na? tive governments of Iudia were very gratifying to me, and I recognize in them a fresh manifestation of that feeling to? wards my crown and person which has been displayed in many previous instan? ces. My relations with all foreign powers continue friendly. Although the condition of affairs in South Africa still affords some ground for anxiety, I have learned with satisfac? tion, from reports of my civil and mili? tary officers, that the most serious dis? turbances which had arisen among the native population on the frontiers of Cape Colony are now terminated. Here follows reference to the supplies voted and to various bills passed during the session which are exclusively of in? ternal interest. The speech concludes as follows: In bidding you farewell I pray that the blessing of Almighty God may rest on your recent labors and accompany you in the discharge of all your duties. Tennessee Politics.?A communica? tion from Washington, under date of August 13th, says that a number of prom? inent Tennesseeans have been in that city I for several days, and it develops that their i mission here is to consult Judge Key in regard to an independent party movement in their State. The Democrats are badly broken up over Republican issues, it is claimed, and it is probable that an Inde? pendent Convention will be held to nom? inate opposition candidates for a State ticket. The gentlemen who are here say that if the Postmaster-General will accept an Independent nomination for Governor the Republican Convention will endorse him, and his election will be certain. Judge Key is n^w holding the matter under advisement, and the chances are very favorable that he will give the move? ment his approval. He will not seek the nomination, but if awarded him with any great degree of unanimity, and if the Republicans are disposed to accept him, there is no doubt he will consent to run. The President, it is said, encourages him to do so, although he will regret to have him leave the Cabinet, but the President thinks with Judge Key as a leading can? didate on an Independent Democratic ; ticket, his Southern policy could be sub? jected to a very favorable test.

Under the Supervision of the Executive Committee of Pomona Orange. SELFISHNESS IN THE GRANGE. The following coinmunication, pub? lished in The Jliisbandmun, bos struck us as being applicable to some, if not all, our Granges. We sometimes hear of a great want of harmony and co-operation in Granges, and it is only possible that this principle of selfishness may have play? ed a promiuont part in the unpleasant? ness. There should bo no such thing as unkindness or exclusive selfishness in? side the Grange, and every member should do unto others as they would that others should do unto them under similar circumstances; and If this rule were kept only partially before onr eyes, we should not often be found attempting to wrong a brother or a Grange: It is the rule, not the exception, for most persons to color their side of the question in order to gain the point de sirod. Even a step lower is sometimes taken, that of equivocation or exagger? ation. Selfishness is as natural as light to most of the human race, (and, may I say as essential ?) as light and warmth are to the growth of plants. "That I will not wrong a member," is a broad platform, but who of all our member? ship stand upon it. Some brother may have an end to accomplish. How little does he scruple to draw every means and argument to bear on bis side of the question, even though come one, or a dozen, may bo injured by the end sought by the one individual. Some one has erred, or misfortune has overtaken him. How eagerly one after another catches up the report, and gossip never detracts from it, but the reverse, adds too, and, like the tiny brooklet, soon gathers into a stream destined to undermine bis hopes and wash away every trace of the good name he has heretofore borne. A broth? er may sacrifice much for you and let a little difference in your opinions arise, even on a trivial subject, and how quick you cut him off and even snub him in all his efforts to maintain his position, and pecuniarily you are ready to stab him to the heart's core, even though you yourself, may Buffer therefor. We, too, have members who, perhaps, have never given this a thought in the proper direc? tion, and when they remember the rule laid down. 'To unto others as ye would they should do unto yon," and follow out its teachings, the way will be clear. A little variance of opinion in i elation to any given point, never should place brothors or members in a light where they will lose sight of the great principle of right and Justice to each and all. Jealousies and hatred never have any right inside the order or among its mem? bers outside the lodge room. Tolerance and forbearance should be the motto deeply engraven upon every heart and it should perch upon every banner. Some natures are so little and mean, that anyone stepping outside of the path, marked out by them, are at once discard? ed and all the venom of their natures is brought to bear upon the offending one pecuniarily, socially, morally. No act of theirs is wanting to throw obstacles in the way of the offending one, though the other may reap no reward therefrom. If one thing partakes of a meaner nature than another, it is to court all the favors one can, and then because a difference of views arise to ignore all the friend? ship of the past and turn the tide of op Eosition against him who has borue tue urthen and heat of the day. Good and generous deeds will live through opposition; enmity and jealousies grow ripe with Infection from mean and sordid natures. Gkangeh.
