DEMOCRATIC MEETING FOR CON? SULTATION. In accordance -with the resolution of the County Executive Committee of the Democratic party, there will be a meet? ing of the members of the County Exec? utive Committee in the Masonic Hall at Anderson on next Monday, at 10 o'clock ] a. m., and all of the Presidents of subor? dinate clubs, together with the members of the executive committee of each club, are requested to be in attendance upon this meeting. It is earnestly desired that every one of the persons above men? tioned shall be present, as this will probably be the only full conference that will be held before the election. Im? portant matters relative to the conduct j of the canvass in this County will be dis-1 cussed and acted upon. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. General Mosby, of Virginia has, it is announced, accepted the consulate at Canton from President Hayes. This will necessitate his leaving the country, and thus one of Grant's third term yelp ers will be gotten rid of. We are sure after his departure the atmosphere of Southern politics in general, and the politics of Virginia in particular, will be purer, and therefore we hope his sojourn may be perpetual. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, af Massa losetts, has been beaten for a renomi nation to Congress from the Republican arty. It is hard for a man who has iced so much of principle and of Dnor in fighting for the Republican ty, whether riglit or wrong, should be unceremoniously slaughtered in the house of his friends. Perhaps the Gen will think seme other people need I cursing out besides the Democrats of the j South._- _ It has been asserted by Hon. Jeremiah Black that ex-President Grant is willing to accept the nomination for President from the Republicans in 1880, but that he requires as an additional inducement to the salary and perquisites of the Pres? idency, that the party shall raise bim be? fore hand a contribution of two hundred thonsand dollars. This sum is just equal to the salary of the President for four years, and it is claimed by the friends of General Grant that as he cannot live on an income of fifty thousand dollars a year as President, that in consideration of his distinguished services to the party the Republicans ought to raise the sum of two hundred thousand dollars, which he requires as a present before he will consent to run. We, however, do not believe this statement is correct, for there is no doubt in our mind that General Grant would like to get the nomination, even without the money, though it may be he is indulging the idea that he needs the money in the hope that he will get the money and the nomination too. If it is- true that he requires the money as an inducement to accept the nomination, he gives evidence of good common sense, for what he geto beforehand is about all he will realize from the canvass, as the country has about decided to have Democrat for President next time. Per? haps Grant realizes this, and only seeks to make a little money out of his popu? larity with the Republicans. The Chicago Times presents its readers with an interesting programme for the next Congressional session. It says that it has information that President Hayes will be impeached by Congress for being a party to the. alleged bargain to give Louisiana to the Democrats, if they would allow the presidential count to proceed so as to make Mr. Hayes Presi? dent. This case will be tried in extra? ordinary session of the Senate after the fourth of March, and Mr. Hayes will be convicted and ousted from the Presi? dency, and that Mr. Wheeler will resign because he is too honest to profit by the fraud, and then a Democrat will be elect? ed President by the Senate, which will be Democratic. It would take a good deal of credulity to believe this. That Mr. Hayes deserves impeachment we have no doubt, but that he will ever get it, we have just as little doubt. Neither would the impeachment of Mr. Hayes Iget rid of Mr. Wheeler, for the latter is :not so honest as the Chicago Times pre? tends, for if he is willing to profit by the election frauds to the extent of being Vice President, be would in all proba? bility be willing to take the Presidency itself. The story of the Times is simply a nice little scheme to help the Republi? cans carry the next House of Represen? tatives by arousing prejudices against fiie Democrats in Congress. If that is the best campaign thuuder they can ?tart, the Republicans had better grace? fully .submit to the defeat which awaits f.hem in November next. ?The New York Tribune says Ben But? ler told a friend that the original alleged "Sherman letter" has been ootained, and is in the possession of the Potter com? mittee ana would be put in evidence in October. He (Butler) has seen it and has no doubt of its genuineness. '? The Lockfears and their negro ac tsomplice, Pompey Easterling, convicted of the murder of Frank Bryce, the Irish pedler, in Febur&ry last, were all exe? cuted, simultaneously at Bennetts vi lie on <he 23rd instant. WHAT WILL THE NORTH SAY ! This is a question which is asked by the people of South Carolina entirely too often, we think. There is scarcely a public measure proposed that it is not first asked, What will the North say about it ? and upon considering the meaning of this, we will be forced to acknowledge that it is really the result of u continued meddling of the Republicans of the North and West with the affairs of this State, because the Republican party continued in power here longer than in most other Southern States. In Georgia or Mississippi, for instance, there is not this tender regard for the opinion of the North, and we can see no reason for it any longer in South Carolina. We aro not governing the North but are governing South Carolina, and therefore the question should not be what will the North think ? but what will the people of South Carolina think about any meas? ure ? If it is right and beneficial for the State to pursue any line of policy, it ought to be adopted without reference to the opinion oi outsiders. When New York and Massachusetts wish to do any? thing, they never inquire as to the opin? ion of South Carolina. We are aa much a State of the Union as either of these, and our people know as much about what is best for us as they do, so that there is no benefit to be derived from consulting them about our domestic natters. As long as we ask what the North has to say abont our actions, just 83 long will the impudent Republicans of the North continue to express their views about everything we do, and that, too, with an appearance of justification; for whenever we cringe and fear to exerciiie our views of what is best for us, we virtually admit the right of these arrant self-constituted censors to meddle with our public affairs. We think it is about time for the people of South Carolina to realize that we are free, and to act as free men by ceasing to recognize any outsiders, either as our masters or our overseers. When we *have any matter under consideration which affects the State, the questions should be, Is it right? and then, Is it beneficial to the State? and if it is, we should carry it out with? out reference to any other section of the country. This is the only way to break up Northern interference, and is the only way to establish our right to think and act for ourselves. If we had consulted the North we would have -submitted to the election of Chamberlain two years ago. Our success in doing what was right witb reference to that canvass should induce us hereafter to pursue the same course of independent action when? ever we have decided upon what our State needs. If this should be tried, our people will, find the North will say a great deal less about South Carolina than it does when we are continually trying to please it. A STRIKER FOR GRANT. Among the many political dead-beats mho received great favoritism at Grant's hapds while he was President, and are now repaying their obligations by vehe? mently urging his renomination for the presidency in 1880, there is no one more active in season and out of season than the somewhat celebrated paraon New? man, who was Grant's pastor during the great smoker's presidential career, and a3 a reward for his religious services, the results of which have never been seen in Grant's actions, he was given the posi? tion of Inspector of Consulates, thereby getting a free trip around the world, together with a triOe of a few thousand dollars as salary. This Parson longs for a return of the good old days of Grant ism. He has been out in the cold, polit? ically speaking, since Grant left the White House, and the mere possibility of having him restored to the presidency, which the Parson feels satisfied would also restore him to some easy position, causes the New England parson to over? flow with joy and give vent to his feel? ings in the following extravagant lan? guage relative to Grant, which none but the political bummers of this country will concur in: "This nation has never appreciated the intellectual greatness of the man. His mind Li not one of ratiocination, but of intuition. He grasps a thing instantly and unerringly. He does not want tc be President again. But General Grant is supremely honest, entirely conscientious, and should an emergency arise where the American people demanded his services again, I know ho would not refuse. He would regard it as a call of Providence." In this he enunciates one great truth, which is that General Grajt "grasps a thing instantly and unerringly." This grasping of things is exactly what the patriotic portion of this country object to in the ex-President. They think he was disposed to grasp not only salaries, &c, &&, but the rights of the people and of the States also. The Parson further says Grant "has an unwavering belief in Providence, and he has often related to me various instances wherein he has pointed out the providential events of his life." We do not wonder at this be? lief of General Grant, for he must realize in common with all the American people that nothing short of Providence could have selected such an efficient instru? ment for scourging the people of the United States as he proved himself to be during his two terms as President. The Parson then proceeds with Lis eulogy of Grant, and condemnation of Hayes, to the extent of an absurd and impious blasphemy, as follows: v "Hayes paid no attention to the out? going administration for the last ten days of its existence. I think an invitation to lunch comprised about all the courtesy shown by the new President to the oldL Hayes, John Sherman and Schurz thought that Grant was dead, buried and descen? ded into hell. The third day he rose again, but they did not find it out till he reached Philadelphia, and never fairly realized it till he crossed the Atlantic." The mere fact that Grant has the Cam erons and Chandlers among politicians, and Bishop Haven and Parson Newman among the political preachers as his ad? vocates for a ^nomination to the presi? dency ought to be enough to disgust the better class of the citizens of the United States with him and his friends. The two Hinckles, who were with Red? mond on his raid upon Gary, have been tried and convicted in the United States Court in Greenville. Redmond has not surrendered, and after this ho will cer? tainly not do so. Address of the State Democratic Ex? ecutive Committee. The State Democratic Executive Com? mittee yesterday adopted unanimously the following address and ordered it to be published: Headquarters State Democratic 1 Executive Committee, v Columbia, S. C, Aug. 22,1S78. j To the People of South Carolina : The State Democratic Executive Com? mittee announce to their fellow-citizens that the State canvass will formally open on September 10th. Already the coun? ties in general are ready for action, aud the Committee cannot doubt that the campaign will be as brilliant as brief. Throughout the canvass the Democracy of South Carolina will have but one rule of conduct. The platform of 1876, adop? ted and reaffirmed in 1878, is the su? preme law of the Democratic party. By it the highest and the lowest are bound. No person, or body of persons, other than a State Convention, can change or modify its wise provisions and patriotic declara? tions. Within the lines of the platform the Democracy are safe. Outside of it and beyond it, thero is no true Democ? racy in South Carolina. No issue not made in the platform and inconsistent with it can be raised. No issue made in the platform and consistent with it can be ignored. The platform of the Democratic party of South Carolina is at once a history and a prophecy. It is the record of what is past, and the assurance of what is to come. In it are declared Democratic principles and Democratic practice. The issue in South Carolina, as made by the Democratic party, is not an issue of race. On the contrary, the objects of the Dem? ocracy, in retaining control of the State, are to complete the reform of abuses, to punish public criminals, to maintain the purity and ability of the Government in all its branches, to lower the rate of tax? ation and lessen the burdens imposed upon the people, to ensure peace and concord, and, including all else, to give equal and complete protection to every public and private right of person and property, in order that the Government, in the hands of the Democratic party, shall be the Government of no one sec? tion, of no one race, of no one class, but of the whole people of South Carolina, without limitation or restriction. So far as time and opportunity have admitted, the Democratic party has kept to the letter and in spirit every pledge or promise made in the platform of 1876. The State officers elected two years ago are again the candidates of the party. With the same platform and the same candidates holding beneficent possession of every department of the State Govern? ment, the Democracy of South Carolina deserve success and can command it. Vigilance is necessary. Action and in? cessant work are indispensable. Unity must be had. They who slumber on in false security, they who postpone prepa? rations for the fight, they who encourage or permit dissension and division, for any reason or upon any pretext, are as much the public enemies as the political lepers whom Democratic rule drives into the Penitentiary or out of the State. Malcontents, laggards, disorganizes, shall not pull down the Democratic Sarty, although they may multiply its ifficulties and make the struggle harder and more desperate; and, when the bat? tle is won, as it shall be, the Democratic party, for its own sake, will pass sentence upon any who, not being with us, are I against us, and make them, for all time, political outcasts, despised by Democrats of their own race and shunned by the colored Democrats who have been tried and have kept the faith. For the white Democrats, the State Committee are sure, no other exhorta? tion is needed. They know full well that Democratic rule is worth having, and that what is worth having is worth keep? ing, and will be kept. By the colored Democrats, as the State Committee be? lieve, the solid advantages of an enlight? ened and honest government are thor? oughly appreciated. They have seen and felt tne difference between integrity and rascality, between lofty justice and partisan rule. The hope is that the col? ored people, in larger numbers than ever before, will march beneath the folds of the Democratic banner, and so assist the Democracy in perpetuating the work of Governmental reform and industrial restoration. The reign of Ignorance and vice in South Carolina is past and gone. Virtue, intelligence and elevated statesmanship shall, as during the last two years, con? trol the public affairs of South Carolina. For this the people fought in 1876, and the sceptre then grasped for the first time in eight years by pure and strong hands will not be laid down and .-hall not be wrested away. John D.

A dispatch from Salt Lake, Utah, August 27, says a Mormon with two wives took them before the Third Dis? trict Court of that city, asking for natu? ralization papers for his second wife. She answered^ affirmatively the question whether she was living in polygamy. Whereupon the District Attorney object? ed that she was not of good moral char? acter, and the objection was sustained. The Evening News, the Mormon Church organ, advises polygamous wives here? after, in any matter in which the law of the land is concerned, to call themselves by their names, and in any court to take the position of unmarried women. ? Judge Kershaw has filed a judgment in the office of the Clerk of the Court for Union County, holding the act of March 13, 1872, entitled "An act for the relief of the widows and orphans of persons killed because of their political opin? ions,"?better known as the Ku Klux pension tax act?to be unconstitutional, null and void, as violating the provisions of section 14, article 1, and sections 1 and 3 of article 9 of our State constitution, and section 10 article 1 of the constitu? tion of the United States. A like decis? ion nix years ago would have saved the upper counties of the State fit least thirty thousand dollars. GOVERNOR HAMPTON'S HEALTH. His Physician Prescribe)* n Sojonrn In the Mountains and Entire liest. In a note dated August 20th, and ad? dressed to the Columbia Register, Gov. Hampton says: "Do announce that my physician pre? scribes entire rest for me for a short time in the mountains. I hope that this pre? scription will enable me to take the field with my usual health and strength. But to do so I must give up a few of the pend? ing meetings, and I hope that our friends will understand the reason of my absence. * * * My only regret is that I cannot just now have the pleasure of meuing my fellow-citizens.

Washington, August 24. v It is stated on good authority to night that a requisition has been issued by Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, for Senator John J. Patterson, indicted for bribery of the State Legislature to secure his election as Senator. An ex Federal officer of South Carolina says that if a requisition for Patterson has not already been issued he has positive information that one will be sent to the Governor of Pennsylvania, in which State the indicted Senator is now sup? posed to be, within a few days. As an evidence of the fact, that officers are now on the lookout for Patterson the follow? ing story is told: On Tuesday afternoon last two South Carolina detectives called at the Senators residence on Eleventh street and inquired if he was at home. The officers were informed that Patterson was in Baltimore. One of the Senator's sons saw and recognized the detectives. His father was in Washington at the time but had made preparations to go North on the evenitg train. The young man learned that the detectves had gone to Baltimore on a local train. At 9:30 p. m. the Senator and son took the night express for Philadelphia. At Baltimore the two detectives stepped aboard the train. Young Patterson, who stood on the platform disguised in his silk cap, the officers supposed to be a brakeman, and asked him if any one had entered the cars at the Baltimore station. "Nobody but a lady," was the reply, aud the officers returned to their search in Baltimore, doubtless feeling sure that the Senator had not left the city, at least on the night express. Rainey Again Runb.?The Repub? lican Convention for this the First Con? gressional District met at Florence, August 22, and very tamely and unani? mously renominated J. H. Rainey for Congress. Swails, Johnson, of Sumter, and Bowman spoke as candidates. The first two declined in favor of Rainey. Old Mr. Bowman U3ed to be a Methodist preacher, but was dispensed with on ac? count of heresy in regard to future pun? ishment, I'm told. He didn't say any? thing about Congress, but said that the head and front of the offending is that he thinks the negroes had better be colo? nized, as they can't live on terms of equality with the whites. He talked like a subdued, submissive exhorter. I don't think there is much harm in him. There is no special objection to his preaching colonization. He is the man whom the negroes are trying to make Whittemore'a successor. He is not near rascal enough to succeed Whittemore, and he certainly is not the man to re? vive the desponding Republicans. Rainey evidently thinks there is little hope of his election. Richardson will go to Congress this time, with an over? whelming majority.?Cor. News and Courier. Anderson, S. O, Aug 27,1878. Editor of the Anderson Intelligencer: Sir?Anticipating that you may pub? lish in tlm issue of your paper the report and testimony of the Investigating'Com? mittee, on certain bills and transactions therein named, I ask, as an act of justice to myself, that this card accompany the publication. One Everidge Cain, a col? ored member of the Legislature at the time he speaks of, uses my name as being present at a certain time and place. His testimony, so far as he connects my name with the tronsaction testified to by him? self, is utterly false, as I was not in the city of Columbia from the last of No? vember, 1871, to the fall of 1872, long after the bills had passed and the 6crip referred to issued, and could not have been the person he testifies to as having seen.
