DEBIO CHATIO COCNTY CONVENTION. Tbs County Convention on but (Satur day waa ona of tba largest and most en tbuehu'io gatherings of representative Dem?rate that we have eeen for years in And-jrwn County. The Clubs were not Only represented, but their delegations in most cases were full. The Convention bad ecveral matters of vast importance to the coming campaign before it, and did its wort 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 resulta accepted in good faith, and with a cheerful acquiescence which indicates a thorough party adhe sion, with a foll understanding of the grave issues In front of ns, Perhaps the matter of most concern to tlio party was the action upon the ques tion requiring candidates before the pri mary election to receive a majority of all tho votes cast, instead of simply the highest vote cast, before bei ng declared the nominee of tho porty for the offico sought. This was debated and voted upon under different parliamentary motions for at least three hours, and the final vote indica ted about equal ctrength on each side tho question, being 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 tiny moro satisfactory thar, the plurality, wo think the Convention decided upon the safe side of tho question. The ad vocates of tho plurality ?tile have had two elections thoir way, and it is but fair to tho large number who wish the majority mle that thoy should havo a trial of their way, after which, both plans having been put to tho practical test, can bo chosen between in futuro cam paigns, with a full acquaintance with the merits and dendrita of each. Io politics, upon questions n?;l involving principles, men hove to give and take, in order that perfect party harmony shall prevail, and it ia gratifying to eeo the Anderson De mocracy so ?ell prepared to do this grace fully, and without strife or division, Upon tho question of early or late nominations, the position of the Conven tion was a foregone conclusion before it assembled, pur people want a short and Bhorp cati vasa, which will gain us hun dreds, if not thousands, of voles 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 ninO'tenths of the Democracy of Anderson County. In tito action upon tho nominee for Congress tho Convention took theposi - tion which wo anticipated, and ?he position which, in. our judgment, is best for cur Congressional District iud for our Coun ty. Col. Orr is ^ gentleman of fino abil ities, and it is to bo expected that his own County ' would support, bim OB against a man no better qualified from another County. The unanimity of the Convention;, however, indicates that the Democracy cf thia County take a reason* able. and commendable pride in furnish ing .ycandidate for Congress from om Aiidst^ond feel that some recognition of this sort ia duo ua from tba other Coun ties in tho District, Col. Orr goes into thc) ConvejJtio.'i with Anderson and Oco nco, and a fair chance for enough addi tional votes to secure hit nomination. His. canvass will be conducted by bb friends to succeed,.and. not .simply to achieve a complimentary vote. He ought to have the nomination, and tho District cannot do better than give it to him. TTpon tho sclcctloQjpf State candidates, the Con vention e vidently preferred Judge Wallace for Governor, but there waai no disposition ito attack any other, person or instruct tho delegates how they uho?ld vote. Tho delegation elected aro. report ed to advocate'Judge Wallaca, or como third man, for Governor, though, wa do not oven know this to be tho caso with nil of them. Th? erections by tbs" Convention wero very complimentary to the past manage ment ol' iVe party, since tho former offi cers were unanimously ra-eloctcd. Tho session lasted shout six hours, and from beginning to end wai? characterized by gesd tssipsr n?u'cnTirestsn??nUivis io"nb what was hes?; for i-< j party in the County and State. Ita reaultplaces the Ander son Democracy in Coo fighting position for thc coming campaign, and it' ie safe to predict that tho harder the fight which ls made in the State the larger will be the majority in Anderson Conni/; Tito Domoeni'ic Convention of Claren don County baa presented the name of Col. John P. Eichardfcon, of that County, fbi " the nomination for State Tr^urcr. Wo have served in tho legislature with Col. Richardson, and recognise bimi as a most exc?dent and capable gentleman for the position indicated. His nomination ii esery way desirable-not only because lie d?rres thc honor, but because ii m*4 g!*e to the party ir. tbs State caa* vt, . fine orator and popular candidate, HIOTOUY RETFATXNG ITSELF. * Wheo Ibo gr .'ab Napoleon caroo out o hU first military campaign* with tbs reputation of tho greatest General ir Europe, he did not assume tho crown o France, nor intimate his intention o assuming it. Ile professed to subo rd i nate-the military to tho civil authority and as a candidate for tho Consulate ol France disarmed suspicion and endeared himself to his fellow-oitltens. When he was elected he did not assume the crown but soon changed tho consulate fron three members to one, and after succeed lng in breaking down the obstacles tc imperialism without arousing suspicion he became Emperor bofore the pcoph suspected any such design upon bis part UIB reputed nephew, tho late Louis Na polcou, emerged from the army of France as a great and victorious geuersl, and was content to be elected president ol the thon republic. His tactics were tc lengthen tho terms of his presidency, and thoa by degrees he fastened the grasp ol bis power upon France, by breaking down the barriers between the people and monarchy, until their sense of liberty was sc uvAu??du ?s to enable him to pro claim himself Emperor. Far back ir the history of republics the victorioui Casar professed to lay his military glorj at the feet of the republican institution: of Borne, and becamo a Consul. Again and yet again, ho was content with tin same position, derived from the suffrage of the Romana, until he felt his ppwe securo, and then upon the heels of civi war the royal crown was offered him, am thrice did bo refuse it, that his intention might not be prematurely discovered At the appropriate time, howover, th toga of the Consul was exchanged fo the imperial crown, and the glory of tb Roman republic was gone forever. Fror these oxamples, drawn from tho histor, of prominent, republics of tho past, w draw the moral that republics are oftenc destroyed by their professed friends tba their avowed enemies-that tho dang? to free institutions lies ia the corruptin Influences which ambition exerts ovc the greatest men. It is tho military lu roes, whose popularity aud esteem pine thom above tho suspicion of mean mc tives or dangerous designs, who havo th power to betray the liberties of republic and lt behooves those jealous of sue liberties to look with grave concern upc the slightest appearance of nggreesic Upon the part of any prominent polit elan who hos boen a great military her Thorn is now in the United States s occasion for a practical application i these thoughts. Gen. Grant, who can ont of the war as tho greatest of tl victorious generala, hos twice bold tl presidency of tho republic, and durit his tenure and that of his successor, fir one and then another principie, of 01 government has been trampled und foot and ignored. The people have b come familiar with encroachment. Thc have witnessed the civil authority of tl 'government subordinated to the militar and havo had their b'jfirago set at naugl 'and the chief magistracy of the goveri ment stolen by fraud, forco and corra Don.. It is not to be wondered that tl party which has done these things shoo bring out tho man who bps helped many of them for a third president! I term. Neither is it to be wondered th Gen. Grant is a candidate for the prei I doney, contrary to tho pr?c?dents of j hundred years. Ho bas boen steadi mnrching towards a monarchy, and the pooplo of the United States follc blindly after him la this canvass the will io all probability be no further eic tiona or presidents. This contest is sh ply one for imperialism. The Colombia Register sides with He B. H. Hill against Senators Hampt und Butler in their personal applicati of the remarks, of Senator Hill wi reference to South Carolina in the K logg case. Tho Register Baya: "lt ls vc plain to our mind that Mr. H'M'a marks could not properly bo construed a taunt, or a slur cost in the teeth Sonth Carolina or her Senators, and tl our Senators rather 'kicked "before tl were spurred' in the retorts they made Mr. Hill, and that these recrimiaati words were far from being in. good tai even if Mr. Hill had intended to be fe?sive." Wo agree with opr Senate and think they were right io lector Mr.-?ill. It was gratuitous and ofi sive for Mr. Hill to caution them aga! lowering tho standard of South Cf.rolii honor, and his remarks, coupled with insinuation of a trade ia tho Kell case, was certainly insulting to honors men Who know, their doty and are tempting to perform it Why should Hill select South Carolina to leel about the lowering of her standard honor any more than Delaware, 1 York, Ohio or the .ottar States wi Democratic Senators will votu aga unseating Kellogg 1 It may ba tiri by Hr, xxiii ?uto abm o other construe tbx? that of an insult, hut the fad malua that the palpable conshuetk that given it by our Senators, tod < did right to themselves and to their 6 to resent it Gen.

Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, United States Senator to succeed Gen. Gordon. This appointment only lasts until tbe next session of the Legislature of that State, and lias been very differ ently received by the people of Geoigia, according to friendship or opposition to Gov. Brown. Ile 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 comprehen sion of the moro important quest ons be fore Congress, nud we have no doubt be will moko a record second to no mau in the Senate of tho same length of service,, whether his term shall bc a lung or ? short oue. Gov. Brown is ?. nativa vf Bickens County, in this State, and is a self-made man, having by his energy and ability raised himself to ti: : Bench, Gubernatorial chair and United States Senate from Georgia. Ile lias accumu lated, chiefly since the war, a very con siderable fortune, being worth to-day moro than a million of dollar--:. The appointment is very favorably spoken of in this section of South Carolina. Judge John E. Bacon, of Hichlaud, declines tho nomination for Congress from tho 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 has also appeared in connection with the position, and I havo been tho recipient at tho bunds of the citizens of this County, of too much honor and kindness to put them to tho least incon venience. Bather than do so, I will evoke a personal sacrifice, for I do not deny that I have a laudable ambition to represent tbeThird Congressional District. Never, however, unless assured that I am the choice of a clear majority of its vot era." Judge Bacon is a gentleman of culture and fine attainment; worthy of any honor that tho 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 tho bench, tho forum or the diplomatic circle, and in honoring him tho people will honor themselves. Tho Democratic Convention of Ker shaw County has suggested Gen. J. D. Kennedy for tho nomination for Lieu tcuant-Governor in the craning 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 givo tho State an able and efficient officer for the Lieuten ant-Governor, who would bo thoroughly competent for the discharge of the duties of Governor if occasion should arise. Presiden* Hayes offered the appoint ment of Postmaster-General to Mr. James, tho Postmaster at Now York, but ho declined, since he thinks the position be now bolds is a better one than the Postmaster-Generalship until the 4th of next March, when Mr. Hayes and hin Cabiuet will retire from the White House. Tho President has appointed Hon. D. M. Key United States District Judgo for tho Eastern District of Tennessee. This position is ono for life, and Mr. Key bas made more ont of going into Mr. Hayes* Cabinet than any other man in it. An "erring brother" sometimes falls uf-'r excellent luck. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Since April, 1801-for nearly twenty years-my life bas been ono of incessant anxiety and of great labor. For mare than one-half of that long period, either in war or in public office, my energies have been devoted to what I conceived to to bethe welfare of the Southeru people nnd the best interests of the whole coun try. And now that the restoration of Louisiana and South Carolina to the rights of solf-govorument secures to the entire South her full and rightful repre sentation in the legislative department of tho Federal Government, my most cher ished object in politics has been attained. I nm left free, therefore, to consult roy Inclinations and tho imperativo interests of my family, without tho least detri ment to the public service. I glv? way to some successor who will, I trust, servo the country with greater ability than myself ; but who, I am sure will not do so with greater devotion or purer motives.

Gordon, Washington City: DRAB SIB.-It is with profound regret that I learn by our telegram of yesterday that you adhere to your determination of resigning your seat as Scuator of Georgia. While I nave no option but to accept it, I feel veiy sure that tho regret I express is universal with tho people of this State, who have cherished with an al most unexampled pride and lovo the reputation you have achieved In their service. Your devotion to tho interest and hon or of the people of Georgia since you as sumed tho obligation of a Senator ht. only been equalled by the moderation you display in surrendering a trust which you havo so nobly sustained, and which promised for you such splendid results and future usefulness. Whilo 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 bo felt as a loss to the Commonwealth you have so faithfully and efficiently served. I am confident I only utter tho uni versal feoling of the people of Georgia when I express the hope that you may long bo spared to tho country to whits your patriotic devotion has so endeared you. Our earnest good wishes attend you, and tho wish that your future life may be as prosperous and happy as the fiast has been useful and honorable. I lave the honor to be yours, truly. ALFRED H. COLQUITT. GABY IN HIS OLD ROLE.-Gen. Garv in his late speech before the Edge field* Convention rung tho charges ou Fu&??iiists and Rings. This makes about tho ninety-ninth timo he has expressed these same sentiments since his advent Into tho Senate. They have become de cidedly threadbare, and it is to bo fer vently hoped that he will favor the pub lic with somo new ideas the next time ho 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 '7S. They have not sounded their own deeds os persistently in the ears of their fellow-citirens, but tbs fact of their faithful and valuable services to tho State remains, and tho people are well aware of lt. If (Jon. Gary nos'any j friends they ought tc 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 highor to-day In the estimation of die people1 of the State, abd would have some chance-of winning tho prise upon whl?h bis eyes are so in tently fixed. As it is he hos thrown away his chapees of promotion by his extreme folly.
