WYATT AIKEN, of Abbeville. The Democratic County Executive Committee at ita meeting, on lost Mon day, fixed upon the 18th day of next Oc tober os the day for holding the primary election in Anderson County, for the purpose of nominating tho Democratic candidates for the general election. A resolution was also adopted inviting the presidenta and members of the executive committees of the varioua anbordinate clubs to meet with the County Executive Committee at Anderson on salesday in September next, at 10 o'clock a. m. The Democrats of tho Eighth Goorgia Congressional District have held their nominating convention and selected as their standard bearer Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. There was but one voto cast against him, though a motion to endorse his letter to Col. Cosey, announcing that ho would run independently of the nomi nation, was laid on tho table by an al most unanimous vote. Thus tho Demo crats of this District have boen bull dozed by Mr. Stephens into nominating him, although thoy do not endorso hia actions. Tho primary election in Abbeville County came off on laat Saturday, and resulted in the following nominations for tho Democratic candidates of tho County : For Senator-Dr. J. C. Maxwell. For Representatives-W. K. Bradley, R. R. Homphill, J. H. Rice, H. H. Harper, S. McGowan. For Probate Judge-J. Fuller Lycras. For.County Commissioner-G. M. Mat tlson. No candidato having received a major ity of tho votes coat for tho other offices, another election will bo hold to fill theso positions on next Saturday. The New York Herald, true to its rep utation, ia shifting ground about the third term question, without taking hold of it, for or against Grant, with an evident de sire to uncertain whether he will bs tho next President or not before it commits itself on the propriety of his canvass in 1880 for a third election to the presi dency. Tho Herald was the staunchest opponent of the third term two years ago, and it ia a little amusing to see how it in preparing to advocate tho same doc trine it opposed, if it becomes convinced that Grant is to be re-elected President in 1880. The Herald now says that its opposition is to throe consecutive terms, and that it sees no reason why a Presi dent should not be re-olected for any number of terms, provided such terms aro not consecutive, for the ex-President j could not U30 tho appointing power in i such cases to re-elect himself. This ia not tho position of the fathers of the republic on thia question. From the revolution down to the recent war thoro waa never a President who thought of. or would have consented to, a third term, | and Ute fact that General Grant through his friends is seeking to secure a t!dr<I term as ? President, against all of tho precedents of former Presidents, shows that he ia an unworthy and dangerous, public servant. It 1? two he pretends tc : desire to keep ont of politics in the fu ture, but this is only intended to induce tho country to believe that Ute people are forcing him to ron, while as a matter of fact he bsa his agents zealously working to secure bia nomination. The New York Herald did valiant service to pre vent his nomination in 1878, and if it wishes to serve the republic it should continue to oppose Gen. Grant, foil ho ia I the most dangerous man to the cause of free go verument that exfcea in America. ' The return of Gen. Grant to the ruler chip of ?he nation will mean the destruc tion of liberty and the centralization of the' government, - The friends of tho union of'our futhera will rally through out the wl?ole land in tho next ?lection, and if Gen.Orant should be the candi date Republicanism will, We believe, be ?utterly overwhelmed. - Ths Springfi?ld Republican of Thurs day last says: "The case of LT. H: Kirup ton. late financial agent of South Carolina, continues in tf?tu otto.

Editor Anderson Inlelliijenotr : My last letter waa brought lather 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, Ja. Rain had been falling during the night, and the prospecta for a wet day are good. Soon old Sol shows himself, however, " d we are cheered by his raye as we move on to Sanduntviiie. This morning, February 21st., we pass lands of David Dickson, of Hancock, the great Georgia farmer, who, wo aro told, owns thirty thousand acres, lying on both sides of the road, and extending through to Sparta, sv distance of 10 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 ?MOB (February) wheti old win ter hot chilled everything by his blast, for we should like to ceo a growing crop on the lands of one of whom we have heard and read ru much in connection with farming, for though not under his dh cet supervision, all of his tenants, I am told, farm hy bis directions. Ono of them we saw told us ho made fifteen heavy hags 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-ni"ht we camp in a largo school house, niue miles from Sandersville, and near Mr. Tom Wortbonn', whose permis sion we have to occupy it. Convenient to thia house la a negro cabin, and for two bits I get tbs mamma to bake enough bread for two days' rations, which is a great relief to my lady. Next morning wo move out at 7 J of the clock and puuh on towards Sanderavillo, which we reach about 10 J of the clock. Here Fred lof.es one of his dogs, old Drive, who had got off on a chaso and could not bo blown off. I ride back a couple of miles for him, hut caa hoar nothing of him. So havs to abandon him. Old Boots had got off ou s similar chase just after we grossed Sa vannah River and waa lost, and Fred is thus loft with but ono dog. As roy lady wishes to stop before night, we drive only 22 miles, and stop at Mr. Frank Orr's, 18 miles beyond Sandersville and twenty miles from Dublin, ia - County. Hers I must tell a little joke on my lady, which I should have certainly toM Mr. Orr, but I was afraid of his wife. Mr. Orr is 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 weat out to speak to my lady. Wheo I got back to the waggoa where she was, I noticed a very distressed look, and was met with a decided ahako of the bead and motion of the hand, which meant to drive on. This I did net understand, however, but wheo I went to h' lp her out nho did not think ahe would stop she Bald. Why ? says I. lam afraid oftbat old man, says ?ho. Nonsense, says I, it will be late lu th* night before we eau resell kttother'bousCt, and thc mules mp get Beared. That was enough, she was oat in a trice, and an abo walked up to the house with a tear glistening in her eye, she turned to me and says, Day, thia old man has got hoo wives. Why, bless me, Bays I, if that is all, you need not bo alarmed, for I'm sure with his experience he will never want a third one. Into the house we march, and now it is my time. Good-evening, Mrs. Orr, eays I, in a very loud tone, this ia my wife Mra. O. Good-evening, says one of the old ladies, we are not all deaf in here I Excuse mo madam, says I, I have stopped with so many Und, deaf people since I loft home, (it will be remembered at the lost house I stopped, Mr. Cul pepper was deaf,) and in fact being a little deaf myself, from habit, I am obliged to speak loud so that I can hear myself, whether I'm right or j nut This amused them both, and made a fast friend of the old man, who waa very kino! to us, refusing pay for our ac commodsdpus, and directing tu to a friend's douse In Dublin, where we could stop Saturday hight and Sunday, and be kindly received. I will not forget to mention that Mr. Orr's 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 ia there who woald take care of her, al- I luding to his wife and aiaterdn-law, who ! wai living with them. We get a late i start from Mr. Orr's, owing to one of tho mules tearing up a collar, which had to bo : fixed up some way, and then it is raining again, and such things will cause delay. Only twenty miles to DLwlin, though, and we do not design going farther We leach Dublin without any mishap, and stop with Mr. Wm. Jones, who is one of tho merchants of the village, and Mr. Orr's friend before alladed to. Thia little village, which bas a famous name, la In appearance about lite old Pendle ton, and like ber, too, so far asl was able to judge, was full of clovtjmcsa and hos pitality. Ia tho morning after we got were we wanted down to the river (the Oconee) with Mr. Jones, where the boys saw their first steamboat. It is a email boat that will carry about ono hundred i bags of cotton, and runs up to a station i called Np. 14, where ibo railroad crosses tba river, and about twenty-five miles from Dublin. We' crossed the river in a nat and went to an old sandy field with Mr: J., who wanted to shov the boys a g?pher hole and salamandr, beds, which ?c?g ?i?Tol ?o them. The gophers lie dormant at this season, and don't come out until ia (yeaumraur. We soon found plenty of holes and any amount of .fctt?gh I manda beds, bat when wo goi to ri ; - these will be quite common, WsgHMjjjl speak too warmly of tho kind^HHHH excellent gentleman aQ^^flHHH9 as. In fact, this hts chara^iMMsff:?. thc Georgians with whom we^ge como - It {s known in Washington that shortly before tho reparation of General Bristow from General Grant's Cabinet there arose tho. bitterest feeling between the two, It is now potitiyelj asserted that General Grant before h_ sailed for Europe, placed In the hands pf a friend certain papers to tho prejudice of Bristow, io ht geed esiy in case tho latUr's M~T?6 was sent to the Ran*** tn conneetiop Sfith any office, and that thia is tbs leeson Mr. Bayes has never offered Bristow SQ office. The story has a doubtful look, 1 i ?or. Heuipton at Spartauburg. My friends of Spartanburg ! I am sure that I could give you uo higher evi dence of my appreciation of the compli ment you have paid me on this occasion tlian by coming to meet you face to face now, ar?K;.Mg as I have done from n sick bed for that purpose. I have come be cause I had pledged the people of Spar tanburg months ago that I would bo here. I have come, because whethet 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 76. I havo como, my fellow-citizenH, to greet you igain, and I may say that there is uo district in Booth Carolina iu which more profound memo ries uro stirred within mo than in thu. It was in this county, und it was near t'.ia spot where we are assembled to-day, that eleven of my ancestors who had come hither from Virginia to live wow murdered by the Indians. Near thh spot they were buried, and if therefore ?...ere is one county in .South Carolina with which I feel identified moto than another, it is this-the fina home of my ancestors and their lost resting place. 11 have come to tell you of the canvas! we are about to enter into. I have conn to try to arouse you, because I know yoi will do your duty if you oro called upon and becauHo I feel that it is my duty t< warn you that evey man in tho count] must devote himself to thc work frou now until the 5th of November. Ii great Democratic counts like this i will not do to become too lukewarm. I will not do to rest on your incomparable strength believing that the euemy i dead, and that we can afford to Hit ?di; by at case. We must not bo caught nap ping. The Republican party propose, a the ladt moment, to bring out its candi dates, as wo are told, or ut any rate, t regain control of the Legislature. The; inteud to try to make us lose the repre sentatives in Congress. You surely d not intend to give up Evius, and wo mue not only keep him there, but place othei by his side. It is time South Carolina should b heard in tho National councils. It i limo we should send men there to rep? Kent tho honor and patriotism of Sout Carolina, and I waru our people througl out the whole State to devote theraaelvi to that supremo effort. I desire to sc them go into this canvass with a dote: minntion to win, and if the men an women of South Carolina will work i this canvass aa they did in tho last, v. will gain a victory greater and moro in portant than tho last. Wc are not y tree. It is true that when I was here tv years ago our State was garrison! throughout its length and breadth t Federal troop*. Now, thanks bo to Go tho State garrisons itself, and tyran rule no more. She is freo, but will n remain so if the people become luk warm and throw off their armor in tl faco of an activo enemy. You can ele ?our Stato ticket, and by an overwheh ng vote, but that is a small matter. Y< must elect a decided majority in the Le islature. and must contributo yo'ir pc ?to the election of a majority to the low House of Congress. Bear thia in min that if the Presidential election in 18 abould be thrown into ho House of He resentivea the vote will bo by States each Stato caating one voto, and that o vote will be determined by the majori in each representation. You have ni but two Representatives and the Repu lican party three, and you can percei that if this delegation was called upon vote now for President they would eas vote for a Republican. You must i verse that and placo a delegation th? that would vote fer a Democratic nor nee if tho election is thrown into t House. I trust, however, that when t Uextelection comes we will roll up su an overwhelming Democratic major throughout tho whole country that wi ever Ts the nominee of tho Democrn party will be elected, and that wb elected tnev will he mon who mit dart tale the place to xchich the people oh have called them. T cannot speak to you louger. I hi only come to thank you for the kindn ana honor you havo shown to me and appeal to you, as South Carolinian?, i as citizens of thia great old "District" bo true to yourselves aud your record the past, and to roll in oven a largor z jority than the last.

Just now a good deal of attention is being drawn to a now pear, tho Chinese Sana Peur{ so called in the Sooth, 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, wh'cb we condense, but state tho main points of interest' ia rela tion to it. The Chinese Sand Pear, or the Le Conto as staic call lt, ia not a re ceut introduction the parent tree being alive two years ago in Liberty County, having been bought ia New York or Philadelphia, aaa planted there nearly thirty years ago by Maj. Jack Le Conte. Ho bought of a treu dealer, tho seller having labeled it "Chiuese Sand rear," and saying :.l tho same time tho thing would amount to little or nothing, for tho fruit would not ripeo io this country. But it did mature io Liberty County, and proved such a vigorous grower, with such desirable fruit, that it was propa gated from cutting.!, and bas latterly be come well known and widely introduced in LOU them and Southwest Georgia, where the climate sectus peculiarly adap ted to it. Tho tree is freo from disease, bears early, matures its fruit ia August, stands drought remarkably well, and is a fast grower, attaining great height, and having a conelikc or pyramidal form. The writer states that tho Chinese Sand Pear is tim only one which they can make grow from cuttings, and in this re mark snows that tho variety has at least ono feature which decides it to be very different from others, and suggests that lt is this remarkable capacity tor repro duction which renders it BO hardy, co prolific, ned so well suited to the Boil and climate of Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. We shall be glad to hear more concerning tho Chinese Sand Pear from some of our numerous subscribers and correspondents ia Georgia ; and glad to bear that there is at least one pear that, under all kinds of neglectful or careless - treatment, boars aa regularly and abun dantly as those venerable treea planted alonir the second hntlnma r>f ?Ko r^u"~ and Wabash rivera more than a century ago by tho carly French settlers of the Mississippi Valley.-Home and farnu BEHEADED FOE HIS CRIME.-A dis? pr.tch from Berlin, dated Aug?*. :t 16th, says that Emil Hoedel, "the 't,udth from Leipzig," who attempted the assas sination of the Emperor William on May ll, in the Avenue Unter den Linden, as the Emperor was returning from a drive with his daughter, the Grand Duchess of Baden, has boen executed. He was be? headed thia morning at an early hour in the court yard of the new prison. The imperial warrant, decreeing that justice should take its course, was signed on the 3th of the present month. Hoedil's age was about twenty-one, On the trial be protested that he had not inieoted io take the Ure of the Em peror, but sought to sacrifice his own life In a public manner in order to create sympathy for the suffering people. Nu merous witnesses, howover, testified that Hoedel levelled his weapon direct at tho Emperor. When informed that his execution was fixed upon, Hoedel became deathly pale. He wished to plead for pardon, but soon recovered composure whoa told that thia waa useless. He asked for wine for sup per aod drank to tho Comroauc and the leaders of the Social Democracy. When the sentence was read on the scaffold he ?patdilHialofully%r^or.-?^?B~TG:,- Ko repulsed the ministrations of the chaplain, declaring them useless, aa it would take years to couvert him. Fifty persons at tended the execution, which is generally approved. Official notice of the eiecu tion has been posted throughout the city os a warning, it required but a Kingle stroke of the axe to decapitate Hocdol. TJie remains were imir.;diately buried. Proroguing Parliament. LONDON, August 10. The session of Purliameut waa pro rogued to day by royal commission. The following is the text of the Queen's speech : Mu Ijords 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 ol my empire, j precautions might become necessary for which I appealed to your liberality to provide. At the samo time I assured you that no efforts in tho cause should be wanting on my part. Your response was not ambiguous, and contributed largely to thc pacific solution of the difficulties which then existed. Tho terms of agreement between Russia and the Porte, so far os they af fected preexisting trenties,wereafter an in terval of discussion, submitted to a con trres? of the power*, and their councils have resulted in a peace which I am thankful to believe ia satisfactory and likely to bo 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 indepeu enco wi *"h can bo upheld against ag gression. 1 have concluded a defensive convention with tho Hulton which has been laid before you. It gives, os re gards bis 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 bas on tho other hand, bound himself to adopt and carry into effect measures necessary for _ securing good government in those provinces. In order to promote the objects of this agreement I nave undertaken the occupation and administration of the Island of Cyprus. In aiding to bring about the settlement which hos taken place I have been as sisted by the discipline and high spirit of roy forces bv sea and land, by the al acrity witb 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 offere of troops made by many of tho na tive governments of India wero 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 continuo friendly. Although the condition of affairs in South Africa still afford* soma ground for anxiety, I bavo learned with satisfac tion, from reports of ray civil and mili tary officers, that the most serious dis turbances which had ariseu among the native population on tho 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 blading 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 dato of August 13th, says th it a number of prom inent Tennesseenns have been in that city for several dava, and i* develops th?s their mission hero is to consult judge Key in regnrd to an independent party movement in their State. Tho Democrats aro badly broken up over Republican issues, it ia claimed, and it is probable that an Inde ftendent Convention will be held to norn nate opposition candidates for a State ticket. The gentlemen who are here say that if tho Postmaster-General will accept an Independent nomination for Governor the Republican Convention will endorse him, and his election will be certain. Judge Key is naw holding tho matter under advisement, and the chances are very favorable that he will give the move ment his approval. He will not seek tho nomination, but if awarded Mm with any ?reat degree of unanimity, and if the Republicans aro 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 didato on an Independent Democratic ticket, his Southern policy could be sub jected to a ve-y favorable test.

Kxecnllro Committee of Pomona Orange. BULPISllNrat* IN TUB GRANGE, The following communication, pub lished in The Husbandman, bas struck us ss being applicable to some, if not all, our Grunges. Wo sometimes hour of u groat wuut of hurinouy and co operation in Oranges, and it ls only possible that thin principle of tel fis br-est may huvo play ed a prouiinont part in tho unpleasant ness. Tliere should bo no such thing as unkindness or exclusivo selfishness In? sido tho Orango, and ovory member ehould do unto others as they would that others should do unto them under Him ?lar circumstance*!; and If this rule wero kept only partially before onr eyes, we should not often be found attempting to rong a bro?hor or a Orange : It ls the rule, not tho exception, for most persons to color their nulo or tbe question in ordor to gain tho point de sired. 'Kvon a stop lower is souiotlmes talton, that of equivocation or exagger ation. Helnsnness is as natural as light to most of tho human race, (and, may I say as essential f) os light and warmth aro to the growth of plant*. "That I will not wrong a member," 1H a broad platform, but who of all our meniber abip stand upon it. So.-.ie brother may have au end to accomplish. How llttlo does he scruple to draw ovory means and argument to boar on his side of the question, even tbough some ono, or a uozon, muy be injured by the end sought by tho ono Individ nul. Somo ono has orrod, or misfortune nos overtaken him. How eagorly one after another catebes up the report, and gossip nover dotracts from it, but tho reverse, adda too, and, Uko the tiny brooklet, soon gathera into a stream destined to undermine bia hopes and wash away every trace of the good name he has hero(ofore borno. A broth er may aacriflco much for you and let a little difference in your opinions ariso, even ou 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 tho heart's core, even tbough you yourself, may suffer therefor. We, foe, huvo members who, perbapH, havo never given this a thought in tho proper direc tion, and when thoy remember the rule laid down. "Do unto othors as ye would t.'my should do unto you," and follow out its teachings, tho way will be clear. A little variance of opinion in i elation to any givon point, never should place brothers or mombcrs in ? light whoro they will loso sight of the g. eat principle of right and lustico to each and all. Jealousies and hatred never have any right insido tho order or among its mom bora outside tho lodgo room. Toleranco and forbearance- should bo the motto deeply engraven upon overy hoart and it should porch upon ovory banner. Somo natures are so litt Its and mean, that anyone stepping outside of tho path, marked out by them, aro at one? discard ed and all tho vononi of their natures is brought to bear upon tho offending ono pecuniarily, socially, morally. No act of theirs is wanting to throw obstacles in tho way of the offending ono, though the other may reap no reward therefrom. If ono thing partakes of a meaner nature than another, it is to court all tho favors ono can, and thou because a difference of views arise to ignore all the friend ship of tho pant and turn tho tide of op position againBt him who has borue tho berchen ?.nd he?.t- of tho dav- food and genorous doeds will livo" through opposition ; enmity and jealousies grow ri po with Infection from mean and sordid natures.
