The County Convention on last Satur? day was one of the 1 argest and most en? thusiastic gatherings of representative Democrats that we have seen for years in Anderson County. The Clubs were not only represented, but their delegations in most cases were full. The Convention had several matters of vast importance to the coming campaign before it, and did its work well. There was very great difference of opinion on some subjects, but the discussions,, though ardent and thorough, were conducted in good tem? per, and the results, accepted in good faith, and with a cheerful acquiescence which indicates a thorough party adhe? sion, with a full understanding of the grave issues in front of us. Perhaps the matter of most concern to the party was the action upon the ques? tion requiring candidates before the pri? mary election to receive a majority of all the votes cast, instead of simply the . highest vote cast, before being declared the nominee of the party for the office sought. This was debated and voted upon under different parliamentary motions for at least three hours, and the final vote indica? ted about equal strength on each side the question, beiDg decided in favor of the majority system by a majority of only three-elevenths of one vote. While we do not think the majority rule will prove any more satisfactory than the plurality, we think the Convention decided upon the safe side of the question. The ad? vocates of the plurality rule have had two elections their way, and it is but fair to the large number who wish the majority rule that they should have a trial of their way, after which, both plans having been put to the practical test, can be chosen between in future cam? paigns, with a full acquaintance with the merits and demerits of each. In politics, upon questions not involving principles, men have to give and take, in order that perfect party harmony shall prevail, and it is gratifying to see the Anderson De? mocracy so well prepared to do this grace? fully, and without strife or division. Upon the question of early or late nominations, the position of the Conven? tion was a foregone conclusion before it assembled. Our people want a short and sharp canvass, which will gain us hun? dreds, if not thousands, of votes in the up-country, and we believe in the whole State. The action of the Convention in - this respect certainly reflects the senti? ment of nine-tenths of the Democracy of Anderson County. In the action upon the nominee for Congress the Convention took the posi? tion which we anticipated, and the position which, in our judgment, is best for our Congressional District and for our Coun? ty. Col. Orr is a gentleman of fine abil? ities, and it is to be expected that his own County would support him as against a man no better qualified from another County. The unanimity of the Convention, however, indicates that the Democracy of this County take a reason able and commendable pride in furnish? ing a candidate for Congress from our midst, and feel that some recognition of this sort is due us from the other Coun? ties in the District. Col. Orr goes into the Convention with Anderson and Oco nee, and a fair chance for enough addi? tional votes to secure his nomination. His canvass will be conducted by his friends to succeed, and not simply to achieve a complimentary vote. He ought to have the nomination, and the District cannot do better than give it to him. Upon the selectioqjpf State candidates the Convention evidently preferred Judge Wallace for Governor, but there was no disposition to attack any other person or instruct the delegates how tbey should vote. The delegation elected are report? ed to advocate Judge Wallace, or some third man, for Governor, though we do not even know this to be the case with all of them. The elections by the' Convention were very complimentary to the past manage? ment of the party, since the former offi? cers were unanimously re-elected. The session lasted about six hours, and from beginniug to end was characterized by good temper and earnest intentions to do what was best for the party in the County and State. Its result places the Ander? son Democracy in fine fighting position for the coming campaign, and it is safe to predict that the harder the fight which is made in the State the larger will be the majority in Anderson County. The Democratic Convention of Claren? don County has presented the name of Col. John P. Richardson, of that County, for the nomination for State Treasurer. We have served in the Legislature with Col. Richardson, and recognize him as a most excellent and capable gentleman for the position indicated. His nomination is every way desirable?not only because he deserves the honor, but because it would give to the party in the State can? vass a fine orator and popular candidate, who would add jto the strength of the ticket__ Hon. Horace Maynard, of East Ten? nessee, has been appointed Postmaster General by President Hayes, to take the place made vacant by Mr. Key. It is Slid Key was appointed as a Democrat to draw recruits to the Republican party in Tennessee. Maynard is now appointed in all probability to draw back the regu? lar Republicans, for Maynard is a most vindictive and blatant Radical. HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. When the great Napoleon came out of his first military campaigns with the reputation of the greatest General in Europe, he did not assume the crown of France, nor intimate his intention of assuming it. lie professed to subordi? nate the military to the civil authority, and as a candidate for the Consulate of France disarmed suspicion and endeared himself to bis fellow-citizens. When he was elected he did not assume the crown, but soon changed the consulate from three members to one, and after succeed? ing in breaking down the obstacles to imperialism without arousing suspicion, he became Emperor before the people suspected any such design upon bis part. His reputed nephew, the late Louis Na? poleon, emerged from the army of France as a great and victorious general, and was content to be elected president of the then republic. His tactics were to lengthen the terms of his presidency, and thus by degrees he fastened the grasp of his power upon France, by breaking down the barriers between the people and monarchy, until their sense of liberty was so deadened as to enable him to pro? claim himself Emperor. Far back in the history of republics the victorious Caesar professed to lay his military glory at the feet of the republican institutions of Rome, and became a Consul. Again, and yet again, he was content with the ss.me position, derived from the suffrage of the Romans, until he felt his power secure, and then upon the heels of civil war the royal crown was offered him, and thrice did he refuse it, that his intentions might not be prematurely discovered. At the appropriate time, however, the toga of the Consul was exchanged for the imperial crown, and the glory of the Roman republic was gone forever. From these examples, drawn from the history of prominent republics of the past, we draw the moral that republics are oftener destroyed by their professed friends than their avowed enemies?that the danger to free institutions lies in the corrupting influences which ambition exerts over the greatest men. It is the military he? roes, whose popularity and esteem place them above the suspicion of mean mo? tives or dangerous designs, who have the power to betray the liberties of republics, and it behooves those jealous of such liberties to look with grave concern upon the slightest appearance of aggression Upon the part of any prominent politi? cian who has been a great military hero. There is now in the United States an occasion for a practical application of these thoughts. Gen. Grant, who came out of the war as the greatest of the victorious generals, has twice held the presidency of the republic, and during his tenure and that of his successor, first one and then another principle of our government has been trampled under foot and ignored. The people have be? come familiar with encroachment. They have witnessed the civil authority of the government subordinated to the military, and have had their suffrage set at naught and the chief magistracy of the govern? ment stolen by fraud, force and corrupt tioa. It is not to be wondered that the party which has done these things should bring out the man who has helped in many of them for a third presidential term. Neither is it to be wondered that Gen. Grant is a candidate for the presi? dency contrary to the precedents of a hundred years. He has been steadily marching towards a monarchy, and if the people of the United States follow blindly after him in this canvass there will in all probability be no further elec? tions or presidents. This contest is sim? ply one for imperialism. The Colnmbia Register sides with Hon. B. H. Hill against Senators Hampton and Butler in their personal application of the remarks, of Senator Hill with reference to South Carolina in the Kel? logg case. The Register says: "It is very plain to our mind that Mr. Hill's re? marks could not properly be construed as a taunt, or a slur cast in the teeth of Sonth Carolina or her Senators, and that our Senators rather 'kicked before they were spurred' in the retorts they made on Mr. Hill, and that these recriminating words were far from being in good taste, even if Mr. Hill had intended to be of? fensive." We agree with our Senators, and think they were right in lecturing Mr. Hill. It was gratuitous and offen? sive for Mr. Hill to caution them against lowering the standard of South Carolina's honor, and his remarks, coupled with the insinuation of a trade in the Kellogg case, was certainly insulting to honorable men who know their duty and are at? tempting to perform it. Why should Mr. Hill select South Carolina to lecture about the lowering of her standard of honor any more than Delaware, New York, Ohio or the other States whose I Democratic Senators will vote against unseating Kellogg ? It may be twisted by Mr. Hill into some other construction than that of an insult, but the fact re? mains that the palpable construction is that given it by our Senators, and they did right to themselves and to their State to resent it. Gen. Grant has carried the Illinois delegation to Chicago by a majority of nearly one hundred, and his nomination for the presidency by the Republican party in the approaching Convention is an assured fact. The opposition to a third term and imperialism is not strong enough to avert the inevitable, and Grant will be proclaimed the nominee of his party upon the firat ballot. This brings the people of the United States to the most important issue ever presented for the arbitrament of the ballot. It is of no less moment than the determina? tion of the problem of free government. The institutions which have caused this government to grow and become the grandest republic of all time are in the issue presented in the politics of this campaigu, to be put to their severest test. The defeat of the third term means a perpetuation of the republic, and a con? tinuance of all the blessings derived from free government. The election of Gon eral Grant will mean imperialism, sure and absolute, at an early day. The re? sult of the November election is to de? termine no lesser question than this, and it is befitting that every lover of liberty should dedicate so much of the remain? der of the year 1880 to the success of our republican institutions as may be neces? sary to preserve them from Ciesarisin. Governor Colquitt lias appointed ex Gov. Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, United States Senator to succeed Gen. Gordon. This appointment only lasts until the next session of the Legislature of that State, and has been very differ? ently received by the people of Geoigia, according to friendship or opposition to Gov. Brown. He is perhaps the ablest man in Georgia, and in the United States Senate will certainly make a most favor? able impression. His thorough acquain? tance with finance and general State policy will give him a ready eoinpreheu sion of the more important questions be? fore Congress, and we have no doubt he will make a record second to no man in the Senate of the same length of service,., whether his terra shall be a long or a^ short one. Gov. Brown is a-.natfva of Pickens County, in this State, and is a self-made man, having by his energy and ability raised himself to the Bench, Gubernatorial chair and United States Senate from Georgia. He has accumu? lated, chiefly since the war, a very con? siderable fortune, being worth to-day more than ft million of dollars. The appointment is very favorably spoken of in this section of South Carolina. Judge John E. Bacon, of Richlaud, declines the nomination for Congress from the Third Congressional District, saying, in conclusion : "I am now satis? fied that I cannot secure the nomination, if at all, without a struggle. Moreover, the name of a distinguished citizen of Rich land bus also appeared in connection with the position, and I have been the recipient at the hands of the citizens of this County, of too much honor and kindness to put them to the least incon? venience. Rather than do so, I will evoke a personal sacrifice, for I do not deny that I have a laudable ambition to represent the Third Congressional District. Never, however, unless a^ured that I am the choice of a clear majority of its vot? ers." Judge Bacon is a gentleman of culture and fine attainments worthy of any honor that the people of his State can confer upon him, and though he declines a candidacy for Congress at this time, he is destined to promotion at no distant day. Judge Bacon is possessed of varied talents, which qualify him for the bench, the forum or the diplomatic circle, and in honoring him the people will honor themselves. The Democratic Convention of Ker shaw County has suggested Gen. J. D. Kennedy for the nomination for Lieu teuant-Governor in the ensuing cam? paign. Gen. Kennedy is a gentleman of high abilities, of noble character and a pure patriot. His election to the posi? tion indicated would give the State an able and efficient officer for the Lieuten ant-Governor, who would be thoroughly competent for the discharge of the duties of Governor if occasion should arise. President Hayes offered the appoint? ment of Postmaster-General to Mr. James, the Postmaster at New York, but be declined, since be thinks the position he now holds is a better one than the Postmaster-Generalship until the 4th of next March, when Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet will retire from the White House. The President has appointed Hon. D. M. Key United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Tennessee. This position is one for life, and Mr. Key has made more out of going into Mr. Hayes' Cabinet than any other man in it. An "erring brother" sometimes falls upon excellent luck. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Senator Gordon Resigns. Atlanta Constitution. The following official communication from General John B. Gordon came to the Executive office like a bolt out of the blue. Its coming had noi been her? alded even by rumors, aud all to whom the news first found its way were incred? ulous, and only became believers in its genuineness when there was no longer room for doubt. We give in full General Gordon's Resignation. United States Senate Chamber, 1 Washington, D. C. May 18, 1880. j To Iiis Excellency, Governor A. II. Col quitt, Atlanta, Ga. Sir?I bereby tender to you my resig nationa?s'United States Senator from Geofgia:* r la taking this step I am simply carry? ing out a long cherished desire to retire from public life. 1 have hitherto subor? dinated that desire to a sense of duty aud to my reluctance to leave the service of a noble and generous people, who have honored me with the most exalted sta? tion and supported me in the discharge of its duties with unswerving confidence. Since April, 1861?for nearly twenty years?my life has been one of incessant anxiety and of great labor. For more than one-half ofthat long period, either in war or in public office, my energies have been devoted to what I conceived to to be the welfare of the Southern people and the best interests of the whole conn try. And now that the restoration of Louisiana and South Carolina to the rights of self-government secures to the entire South her full and rightful repre? sentation in the legislative department of the Federal Government, my most cher? ished object in politics has been attained. I am left free, therefore, to consult my inclinations and the imperative interests of my family, without the least detri? ment to the public service. I give way to some successor who will, I trust, serve the country with greater ability than myself; but who, I am sure will not do so with greater devotion or purer motives. I am most respectfully your obedient servant, J. B. Gordon. Immediately upon the receipt of the foregoing letter, Governor Colquitt sent the following dispatch, hoping to pro I cure its withdrawal: I Governor Colquitt to Gen. Gordon. May 18,1880. Gen. John B. Gordon, Washington, D. C. In behalf of the people of Georgia, I beg that you recall your resignation. If you can not do so unconditionally, with? hold it, at least, until the meeting of the General Assembly. Alfred H. Colquitt. Gen. Gordon's Reply. Washington, D. C, May 19,1880. Governor A. H. Colquitt: In response to your flattering request that I withdraw my resignation, I beg to say that, though anxious to oblige, I feel constrained to decline. JohnB. Gordon. Upon receipt of this answer Gov. Col? quitt wrote the following letter accepting i tue resignation: Executive Office, 1 Atlanta, Ga., May 20,1880. J General John B. Gordon, Washington City: Dear Sir.?It is with profound regret that I learn by our telegram of yesterday that you adhere to your determination of resigning your seat as Senator of Georgia. While I have no option but to accept it, I feel very sure that the regret I express is universal with the people of this State, who have cherished with an al? most unexampled pride and love the reputation you have achieved in their service. Your devotion to the interest and hon? or of the people of Georgia since you as? sumed the obligation of a Senator has only been equalled by the moderation you display in surrendering a trust which you have so nobly sustained, and which promised for you such splendid results and future usefulness. While the judgment of your fellow-citizens will concede your claims to a large share of repose and more care for your private in? terests than have been allowed you in an arduous official career, I must be allowed to say that your withdrawal from the public service will be felt as a loss to the Commonwealth you have so faithfully and efficiently served. I am confident I only utter the uni? versal feeling of the people of Georgia when I express the hope that you may long be spared to the country to which your patriotic devotion has so endeared you. Our earnest good wishes attend you, and the wish that your future life may be as prosperous and happy as the past has been useful and honorable. I have the honor to be yours, truly. Alfred H. Colquitt. Gary in His Old Role.?Gen. Gary in his late speech before the Edge field Convention rung the charges on Fusionists and Rings. This makes about the ninety-ninth time he has expressed these same sentiments since his advent into the Senate. They have become de? cidedly threadbare, and it is to be fer? vently hoped that he will favor the pub? lic with some new ideas the next time he speaks. Many that belonged to the class he contemptuously styles Fusionists rendered as faithful service to the State as he did during and since the stormy days of 76. They have not sounded their own deeds ?s persistently in the ears of their fellow-citizens, but the fact of their faithful and valuable services to the State remains, and the people are well aware of it. If Gen. Gary has any friends they ought to advise him to stop his abuse of men as good and patriotic as he is. If he had never begun his senseless abuse of Hampton he would stand considerably higher to-day in the estimation of the people of the State, and would have some chance of winning the prize upon which his eyes are so in? tently fixed. As it is he has thrown away his chances of promotion by his extreme folly. Let him take a new de? parture, and he may in time obtain the reward that follows a worthy course of action.?Rock Hill Herald. Disastrous Rain in Georgia.? Telegrams from Columbus, Ga., state that from Friday night to Saturday morning 9.92 inches of rain fell. All of the Rail? roads were injured, and no trains ran from that city on Saturday; and on Fri? day night a train from Montgomery was run into a creek, and four white men killed, and the train wrecked. Crops were much injured. ? Like seeks like, and nn unerring in? stinct leads Grant's managers, says the Springfield Republican, to combine with the worst political element in every doubtful State. Here they have the sympathy and co-operation of Butler and his men. In New York they make their bargain with Tammany and its plunder? ers. In Philadelphia a set of thieves as bad back Grant. Mahone and his repu diators are the Grant reserve in Virginia, and the refusal of the Republican Con? vention at Staunton to cast in its lot with the repudiating wing of the Democratic party in Virginia is counted at Washing? ton a serious defect for the Grant men. In West Virginia Grant's friends are try? ing to patch up an alliauce with the Greenbackers. The unconvicted re? mains of the whiskey ring support Grant in Chicago, and their counsel, Emory A. Storrs, takes the platform as a leading speaker at the third-term mass meeting. Edgefield Advertiser: The w*rk upon the Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken Rail? road is still going on steadily. The working force are some three miles be? yond Trenton.Wallace Bland is suf? ficiently better to warrant the indulgence of a fair hope of his ultimate recovery. ? A circular has been sent to the County Auditors in this State, by request of Robert P. Porter, who has been ap Eointed a special agent of the Census ?epartment to collect the statistics of wealth, debt and taxation for the United States. The County Auditors are re? quested to answer the following ques? tions: Total bonded debt of County? For what purposes issued? Total float? ing debt of County ? For what purpose contracted ?
