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

A i.A KIA, FLA., July 20, 1878.
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,

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.

Tho Chinese Sand Pear.
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

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.

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.

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. GKAKOSR.
