DEMO CB ATI 0 MEETING FOR CON SULTATION. In accordance with the resolution of 'he County Executive Committee of the Democratic party, there will be a meet ing of tho 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 thc executive committee of each club, are requested to be in attendance upon this meeting. It is earnee'ly desired that every one of tho persons abovo men tioned shall be present, as this will probably bo tho only full conference that will be hold before tho election. Im portant matters relative to tho conduct of tho canvass iu this County will bo dis cu'?Jed and acted upon. E. B. MURRAY; County Chairman. General Mosby, of Virginia has, it is announced, accepted tho consulate at Canton from President Hayes. This will necessitate his leaving tho country, and thus ono of Grant's third term y Olp ers will bo 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 wc hopo his sojourn may bo perpetual. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massa chusetts, has been beaten for a renomi nation to Congress from the Republican party. It is hard for a man who bis sacrificed so much of principio and ol honor in fighting *n \fli? ."tepublicnn party, whether right or Vf*Ocgt hould be so unceremoniously slaughtered in the houso of his friends. Perhaps the Gen* oral will think some other people need cursing out besides the Democrats of tho South._ ,_ It has been asserted by Hon. Jeremiah Black that ox-Prcsldc-nt Grant is willing to accept the nomination for President from the Republicans in i860, but that he requires aa an additional inducement to the salary and perquisites of the Pres ideucy, that the party shall raise him be fore hand a contribution of two hundred thousand dollars. This sura ls just equal to tho salary of the President for foui years, an1, it is claimed by the friends ol General Grant that as ho cannot livo on an income of fifty thousand dollars a year as President, that in consideration . of his distinguished services to tho party the Republicans ought to raise the sum of two hundred thousand dollars, which ho requires as a present before he will consent to run. Wo, however, do not believe this statement is correct, for there ls no doubt in our mind that General Grant would like to get tho nomination, even without the money, though it may be ho is indulging the idea that ho needs the money in tho hope that he will get the money and tho nomination too. If it la true that he requires the money as an inducement to accept the nomination, he gives evidence of good common sense, for what Le gets beforehand is about all ho will realise from tho canvass, as the country has abcut decided to have m 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. Th? Chicago Itmat presents ita readers with an interesting programme for the next Congressional session. It says that it has information that President Hayes will bo impeached by COEjVcaa for being a party to the . alleged bargain to give Louisiana to the Democrats, if they would allow tho presidential count to proceed so as to make Mr. Hayes Presi dent. Thia case will bo tried in extra ordinary session of the Senate after the fourth of March, and Mr. Hayes will be convicted and ousted from tho Presi dency, aud that Mr. Wheeler will resign because he is too honest tn brofit hv th? fraud, and thep a Democrat will be elect ed President by the Benate, which will ba Dcmncrathji 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 ?et ii ^e have just as little doubt. Neither TvO^ld the impeachment of Mr. Hayes get rid of Mr. Wheeler, for the latter is not so honest as tho Ch lejaro TX**** pre tends, for if he is willing te profit by the election frauds to tho extent of being Vice President, he would in all proba bility bo willing to tdke the Presidency itself. The story of the Times is ?imply a nico little scheme to help the Republi cans carry tho hoxt House of Represen? -~-T^cc h" arousing prejudices against tho Democrats in Congress. If that it tho hedi campaign thunder they can .dart,' th? Republicans had lu-lier grace fully submit to thc defeat which awaits . thom in November next. -The New York Tribune say?

M 0.y At lion ive luv ?lie on WHAT WI TL TUE NORTH SAY t This is a question which is asked by tho people of South Carolina entirely too often, we think. There is scarcely a public lueaxiiru proposed that it is not first asked, What will the North iay about it ? und upon considering the meaning of this, wo will bo t'oronl to acknowledge that it is really tho result of a continued meddling of the Republicans of tho North and West with tho affuirs of this State, because tho Republican porty continued in power here longer than in most other Southern States. In Georgie or Mississippi, for instance, there is not this tender regard for tho opinion of tho North, and wo can seo no reason for it auy loo jer in South Carolina. We aro not governing tho North but are governing South Carolina, end therefore the question should not be what will the North think? but what will '.o people of South Carolina think ab'.ut any meas ure? Ii it ia right and beneficial for thu State to purauo any linc of policy, it ought to bo adopted without reference to tho opinion ot outsiders. When New York and Massachusetts wish to do any thing, they never inquire as to the opin ion of South Carolina. Wo arc as much a State of the Union as cither of these, and our people know os much about whut is best for UH as they do, BO that there is no benefit to be derived from consulting them about our domestic matters. As long as wo ask what the North has to say about our actions, just so long will tho impudent Republicans of tho North continuo to express their views nbout overylhing we do, aud that, too, with an appearance of justification; forwhcnovi* we cringe and fear to exercise our views of what is bent for us, we virtually admit the right of theso arrant self-constituted censors to meddle with our public affairs. We think it if, about time for tho people of South Carolina to realize thai, we aro free, and to act as free mon by censing to recognize any outsiders, either os our masters or our overseers. When wo 'havo any matter under consideration which affects tho State, the questions niiould be, Is it right ? and then, IB it beneficial to the Stute? and if it is, wo should carry il out with out reference to any other section of tho country. This is tho only way to break up Northern interference, and is tho only way to establish our right to think and act for ourselves. If v?o had consulted the North we would have submitted to tho election of Chamberlain two years ago. Our Hitless in doing whet was right with reference to that canvass should induce us hereafter to pursue the samo course of independent action when ever we bs YO 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 wo aro continually trying to please it. A STRIKER FOR GRANT. Among tho many political dead-beats who received grr it favoritism at Grant's bands whilo he was President, and are now repaving their obligations by vehe mently urging his renomination fur the presidency in 1880, there is no one more active in eeasou and out of season than tho somewhat celebrated parson New man, who was Grant's pastor during the great smoker's presidential career, and as a reward for his religious services, the results of which have never been seen in Grant'H actions, ho was givon the posi tion cf Inspector of Consulates, thereby getting a freo trip around tho world, together with a trifle of a few thousand dollars as salary. This Parson longs for a return of tho good old days of Grant ism. Ho hos been out in the cold, polit ically speaking, nineo Grant left the Whito Home, and the mere possibility of having bim restored to the presidency, which the Parson feols satisfied would also restore him to sorao 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 nono but j the political bummors of this country will concur in : "This nation has never appreciated the intellectual greatness of tho man. His mind is not one of ratiocination, but of intuition. Ho grasps a thing instantly and unerringly. Ho docs not want to bo President again. But General Grant is supremely honest, entirely conscientious, and should an emergency arise where the American peoplo demanded his services again. I know he would not refuse. He would regard it as a call of Providence." In this ho enunciates ono great truth, which is that Gonoral Grant "grasps a thbg instantly and unerringly." This grasping of things is exactly what tho patriotic portion of this country object to in tho ex-president. They think he was disposed to grasp not only salaries, ?co., ?kc., but the rights of the peoplo and of tho States also. The Parson further says Grant "has an unwavering belief in Providence, and he has often related to rae various instances wherein he has pointed out tho providential events of his life." We do not wonder at this bo lU'nrn.nMl ri?*.?? f?a J.? ::>?."> in common with ali tho American people that nothing short of Providence could havo selected such an efficient instru ment for scourging tho people of ibo United States as he proved himself to bo during his two terms aa President. The Parson then proceeds with bia eulogy of Grant, and condemnation of Hayes, to the extent of an absurd and impious Ul--1_- *-?.-. *> i/m-umtlllj f CM ?UIIUTT?; "Hayes paid nc attention to the out going administration for tho last ten days of ita existence. I think an invitation to lunch comprised about all the courtesy shown by the new President to the old. Hayes, John Sherman and Schurz u ought that Grant was dead, buried and descen ded into heil. . The third day he rose again, but they did not find it out till he reached I'hiiadclphla, and never fairly realized it till he crossed the Atlantic/' The mere fact that Grant hos the Cam erons and Chandlers among politicians, and Bishop Haven and Parson Newman among the political preachers aa his ad vocntGj <Y?r a renomination to the presi dency ought to bo enough to disgust tho better class pf the citizens of the United State? with him and hts friends, Tho two Hincklcs, who were witb Red mond on his raid upon Gary., luve 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 Stute- IVoioeratlc Ex ccutiYe Committee. The State Democratic Executive Com mittee yesterday adopted unanimously the following uddress and ordered it io he published : HEADQUARTERS STATE DEMOCRATIC | EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, V COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 22, 1878. j To the People of South Carolina : The State Democratic Executive Com mittee announce to the'r fellow-citizens that thc State canvass wMl formally open on September 10th. Already the coun ties in general are ready for action, a :d the Committee cannot doubt that the campaign will be nu brilliant a? brief. Throughout the canvass the Democracy of South Carolina will have but ono rulo of conduct. The platform of 1870, udop ted and reaffirmed iii 1878, is the su preme law of the Democratic party. Itv j it the highest and the lowest ure bound. No person, or body of persons, other than a State Convention, can change or modify its wisc provisions and patriotic declara- i tiona. Within the lines of thc platform tho Democracy are safo. Outside of it and beyond it, thero is no true Deinoc- ' racy in South Carolina. No issue not < mude in tho platform and inconsistent with il eau he raised. No issue made in the platform and consistent with it can bo ignored. The platform of tho Democratic party of Soutli Carolina ia ut ouco a biatciy und a prophecy. It is thc record of what is past, and the assurant' ? of what is to comp. In it aro declared Democratic principles and Democratic practice. The issue in South Carolina, os made by the Democratic pa? ty, is not nn issue ot race. On tho contra .y, the objects of thc Dem ocracy, in rot'iiuiug co':t.ol of tho State, aro to com pl j to thc rc orin of abuses, to punish pub'ic criminal?, to maintain tho purity aud ability of tho Government in all its > lanches, "to lower the rate of tax ation and lessen tho burdens imposed upon tho people, to ensure peace and concord, and, including all cine, to give equal and completo protection to every public and private right of person and property, in order that the Government, in tho hands of the Democratic party, shall be tho Government of no one sec tion, of no one race, of no ono class, but of the whole people of South Carolina, without limitation or restriction. So far as timo and opportunity have admitted, tho Deu.ocratic party has kept to thc letter and in spirit every pledge or promise made iu the platform of 1876. The State officers elected two years ago aro again tho candidates of tho party. With tho ?arno platform and the samo candidates holding beneficent possession of every department of the State Govern ment, the Democracy of South Caroliua descrvo success and can command it. Vigilance is necessary. Action and in cessant work uro 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, fur any reason or upon any pretext, aro as much tho public enemies as the political lepers whom Democratic rulo drives into Penitentiary or out of tho ??tate. Malcontents, laggards, disorganizes, shall not pull down tho Democratic party, although they may multiply its difficulties and mako the struggle harder and moro desperate ; and, when thc bat tle is won, r it shall bo, tho Democratic party, for its own suko, will pass sentence upon any who, not being with us, aro against us, and make them, for all timo, political outcasts, despised by Democrats of their own race and shunned by the colored Democrats who have been tried and have kept tho faith. For tho whito Democrats, tho State Committeo aro Bure, no other exhorta tion is needed. They know full well that Democratic rulo is worth having, and that what is worth having is worth keep ing, and will bo kept. By the colored Democrats, a?, the State Committee be lieve, the solid advantages of an enlight ened and honest government are thor oughly appreciated. Thoy havo seen and felt the difference between integrity and rascality, between lolly Justice and partisan rule. The hope is that tho col ored people, in larger numbers than ever beforo, will march beneath the folds of tho Democratic banner, and so assist tho Democracy in perpetuating tho work of Governmental reform aud industrial restoration. The reign of Ignorance and vico in South Carolina is post and gone. Virtue, intelligence and elevated statesmanship shall, aa during tho last two years, con trol the public affairs of South Carolina. For this tho people fought in 1876, and the sceptro then grasped for the first Hmo in eight years hy pure and Btrong hands will not he laid down und shall not ho wrested away. JOHN D.

It in stated on good authority to night that a requisition hus been issued by Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, for Senator John J. Patterson, indicted for bribery of tho State Legislature to secure his election os Senator. An ex Federal officer of South Carolina says that if a requisition for Patterson has not already been issued be has positive information that one will bo scut to the Governor of Pennsylvania, in which State the indicted Senator is now sup posed to bc, within a fow days. As au evidence of the fuct that officers are now on tho lookout for Patterson tho follow ing Btory is told : On Tuesday afternoon last two South Carolina detectives called at the Senator's resldenco on Eleventh street and inquired if ho was at home. Tho officers wore informed that Patterson was in Baltimore. Ono of tho Senator's Bons BOW and recognized tho defectivas. His father was in Washington at the time but had made preparations to go North on the evening train. The young man learned that the detectves had gone to Rainmore on a local train. At9:30 P. M. the Senator and Bon took the night express for Philadelphia. At Bultiraoro the two detectives stopped aboard the train. Young Patterson, who stood on the platform disguised in bis Bilk cap, the officers supposed to bo a brakeman, and asked him if any one had entered tho cars at the Baltimore station. "Nobody but a lady," waa 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 BUNS.-Tho 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. Tho first two declined in favor of Rai ney. Old Mr. Bowman used to bo a Methodist preacher, but was dispensed with on ac count of heresy in regard to futuro 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 cele- ! nixed, as they can't livo on terms of equality with the whites. He talked UKO 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 tho man whom tho negroes are trying to mnke Whitcomoro's successor. He is not near rascal enough to succeed Whittemore, and be certainly is not the man to re vive tho desponding Republicans. Rainey evidently thinks there is little hope of his o'-iction. Richardson will go to Congress this time, with an over whelming mt.joritv.-Cor. New and Courier. t\iV?Mi?UjoBt 5. C., Aug ?i, itu a.
