There will be a meeting of the Exec? utive Committee of the Democratic party for Anderson County in the Intelli? gencer Office, at Anderson Court House, on Tuesday, the 10th day of Au i gust next, at 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of transacting important busi? ness connected with the campaign. The following gentlemen compose the Committee, representing the Clubs named: Anderson C. H.?G. F. Tolly. Belton?M. P. Tribble. Broadaway?W. A. McFall. Bowling Green?E. M. Snipes. Brushy Creek?W. G. Smith. Centreville Mills?W. T. McGill. Coiner?J. T. Barnes. Flat Rock?J. W. Norris. Fork No. 1?Dr. W. K. Sharpe. Fork No. 2?. Garvin?R. W. Simpson. Hall-L. M. Hall. Honea Path?Dr. T. A. Hudgeus.

E. Dickson. Savannah No. 1-? Savannah No. 2?P. K. Norris. Slabtown?J. Jamison. Williamston?B. C. Martin. The membership from Savannah No. 1 and Fork No 2 has not been filled, and, therefore, under the resolution of the Convention these Clubs will each please elect a member to represent them on tbe Executive Committee as soon as-possible. Every member of the Committee is especially urged to be presentat the time above indicated. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. another independent. So Bickens County has an independent candidate for the Legislature in the per? son of Col. W. E. Welborn, who says he is an old-line Democrat and in favor of the Hancock and Hagood National and State tickets, but has never joined any political party, aud is in tbe hands of his friends, subject to the result of the general election. Col. Welborn's card, we think, proves too much for him. It shows that the National aud State Demo? cratic parties are the best parties for the respective governments, and that he knows it, and also that he is anxious to go to the Legislature without caring ex? actly how he gets there, and hence as be does not think tbe majority of the mem? bers of this party, which he admits is the be.>t party, will select him as a repre? sentative, he will, for tbe sake of tbe office, try to gain from negroes and radi? cals the votes necessary to elect him. Col. Welborn is evidently trying to ag? grandize himself more than to serve his people and his State. The citizens of Bickens, no doubt, appreciate good gov? ernment too much to allow any man to shatter the organization which has alone secured and maintained it. Col. Wel? born should either he required to submit his claims to the primary election, or content himself with defeat in Novem? ber. He is either intentionally or igno rantly working in sympathy with the aims and purposes of the Republican party, and should receive no more considera? tion, if he persists, than would be shown the most bitter and pronounced Republi? can. The permanent success of tbe Democratic party is above all personal considerations in importance, and that success can only be attained by defeating independeutism, which is only another and worse form of republicanism, wher? ever it may be found. These indepen? dents are seeking to destroy the Demo? cratic party to advance their own inter? ests. The welfare of the State demands that they should be sternly rebuked by overwhelming defeat. The State expects old Picken* to do her duty iu November, and we have no fear that she will in any wise be found lacking when the votes are counted. We learn from a Washington telegram that President Hayes has assigned Maj. Gen. \V, S, Hancock, in addition to his present duties, to the command of the Department of the South during the absence of Brigadier General C. C. Au? ger, who has been ordered to duty in Washington city. What does it mean? I: looks to us as if it was a Radical trick t> place Gao. Hancock in an embarrass i ig position, and forcp his resignation from the army. CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS. As no nominations for Congress have yet been made in this State, we would like to see the experiment of selecting the candidate by a primary election tried. This mode of nomination possesses seve? ral attractive features, which will, in our opinion, amply repay for the slight in? convenience it will occasion. By this system the most popular, and hence tbe most acceptable, man in the district will be put forward for election. It gives a freer canvass of the merits and demerits of any aspirant, and the question is de? cided by a greater number of people than by the Convention, and therefore the decision is apt to be more impartial, and is more sure to condemn an improper aspirant. The greatest advantage, how? ever, we think is to be derived from bringing members of Congress face to face once in every two years with their immediate constituents, which will keep them in harmony with their party, and prevent the new. departures which erratic statesmen who feel over-secure in their seats sometimes indulge. By this ne? cessity to please the ordinary voters they would study the wauts and condition of their constituents to better advantage by personal observation and association du? ring the canvass for the nomination, and could render more efficient service after election. We are willing to try this plan in the Third District with the three gentlemen who, have been spoken of for the nomination. It will be fair to all of them, and we know that we fully express the feeling of Col. Orr, who is the pre? ference of this and at least two or three other Counties for the position, when we say that he does not desire the nomina? tion unless he is the choice of the ma? jority of the Democratic voters of the District, and we presume it is also tbe case of the other gentlemen named for the nomination. It would give to Col. Aiken the opportunity to face his con? stituents and render an account of his stewardship, thus giving to him the ad? vantage of an intelligent review, and at the same time affording the opportunity for such open and fair criticism as is healthful and proper. It will give an equal chance to all, and allow tbe people to render their own verdict, after seeing and hearing all of the candidates, their opinions and the objections to them. We are, therefore, highly in favor of referring the Congressional nominations generally, and in this District particu? larly, to a primary election. It will be fair to all?unfair to none?and the re? sult will be satisfactory to the friends of all parties. WHO ARB THE PURCHASERS? The Greenville and Columbia Rail? road case has elicited very great interest during the progress of tbe cause before Judge Hudson last week. The facts upon which the contest as to the validity of the recent sale rests are clearly set forth in the following statement by Mas? ter N. B. Barnwell in his report to the court: During the course of the bidding, and when tbe said W. A. Courtenay had bid the sum of two million three* hundred and ninety-three thousand and six hun? dred dollars, ($2,368,600) the Master supposing that to be the highest bid, directed the crier to cease crying, and received from some one in the presence of the said W. A. Courtenay a paper containing the following names: ''WP. Clyde, T. M. Logan, Jos. Bryan, W. A. Montgomery," and having previously written down the amount of the bid last mentioned, wrote down the names hand? ed to him on the sale-book. And tbe said Jos. Bryan banded to the Master a package of money. Immediately thereupon, one Cummings, who had been bidding on the said property for a long while in opposi? tion to tbe said W. A. Courtenay, de? manded that the sale should proceed, and claimed to have bid a higher amount than the amount bid by tbe said W. A. Courtenay. Tbe Master, upon information given to him by several impartial citizens present, supported as it was by the general testi? mony of the bystanders, becoming entirely satisfied that the claim of said -Cummings was true, and that the said W. A. Courtenay was not entitled to be considered tbe highest bidder at the price above-named, directed the sale to be continued at once, and having imme? diately eroded-out the names he had entered on his books and the amount of the bid. returned the package of money to the said Jos. Bryan. The entire episode did not take more than one minute, except on the return the package of money, the delay as to that being due to the unwillingness of tbe Master to pass about iu the crowd a package purporting to contain so large a sum of money. The said Jos. Bryan, W. P. Clyde and T. M. Logan being at the place of sale, claimed that inasmuch as they bad pro? duced the deposit money that the same should be required of any other bidder before his bid should be received, aud this demand, which was frequently re? peated by the same persons during the further progress of the bidding, tbe Mas? ter declining to accede to, the sale was proceeded with, the property being put up at the bid of Mr. Courtenay, namely, two million three hundred and ninety three thousand six hundred dollars, which amount was at once raised by the said-Cummings to, the sum of two million three hundred and ninety-three thousand seven hundred dollars, and upon Mr. Courtenay replying with a higher bid, he (Mr. Courtenay) continued as before to bid on the property alter? nately with the said Cummings until the bid of $2,963,400 was reached, when the property was knocked down to the said W. A Courtenay as already stated, and upon the package of money being hand? ed to tbe Master, tbe said W. A Courte? nay was publicly declared to be tbe pur? chaser of the aald property without pro? test or objection on tbe part of any one present. Nor from that time forward until a very few days prior to the 15th of July was intimation given to the Master of any claim of any person or persons to be the purchasers of the said railroad at any price less than the sum of two million nine hundred and sixty three thousand and four hundred dol? lars. Nor during the bidding was there any intimation given that the bidding by Mr. Courtenay was at one time in any different interest from what it was at any other time. It was on his bid made in open and frequent consultation with Messrs. Clyde,. Logan and Bryan that the sale was at first stopped, nqd it was on his bid made in like manner that the property was finally knocked down to him with their consent at two million ujne hundred and sixty-three thousand four hundred dollars (?2,963,400.) The package of money banded to me at the close of the bidding was the same pack? age of money which had been handed to me before by Mr. Jos. Bryan. So much was tbe imp'n ssion produced on tbe mind of the Master that the last bid was the bid of the same persons as tbe one at which the sale was temporarily stopped that he was about to Insert the same names, and asked whether fie should do so, when, after some consultation between Mr. W. A. Courtenay, Mr. Win. Clyde, Mr. James Bryan and Mr. T. M. Logan, the Master was requested by one of them to enter the name of W. A Courtenay as the purchaser and to declare the same publicly, and it was so done. No compliance with the terms of sale having been made by any party beyond the payment of the forfeit of twenty thousand dollars, and a stay of proceed? ings as to the resale of the property hav? ing been ordered in consequence of the claim of Mr. Clyde and his associates that they purchased at the sum of $2,393, 600, with which purchase they offer to comply, for the purpose of settliug the question Judge Hudson issued a rule against Hon. W. A. Courtenay to show cause why he should not comply with his bid of $2,963,400, to which he returned answer by Messrs. Bryan & Bryan and Samuel Lord, his attorneys, that as the agent of the Clyde syndicate he had pur? chased the road at $2,393,600, and that thereafter the bidding had been re-open? ed, upon which he censed to take any further interest as such agent, and only bid agaiustone Cumming3, who appeared to be drunk, and was, as tbe respondent believes, simply a straw bidder, he hav? ing during tho sale proposed to cease bidding for a consideration, which re? spondent rejected. That respondent finally had the property knocked down to him the second time at $2,963,400, and he again put up the twenty thousand dollars as a forfeit. He claims that the first was the valid sale, and the second wholly null and void. The proper par? ties have been made, and Judge Hudson passed an order requiring the Master to take testimony as to the facts connected with the sale, and report to him on tbe 18th of August next, at 10 o'clock a. in., in Columbia. The principal parties who will lose by the success of the Clyde syndicate are the holders of second mort? gage bonds, who will realize over forty per cent, if the last sale stands, while they will get nothing if the first prevails. There will be a strong fight made by this class of bondholders either to have the last sale stand or a new sale ordered, in which contingency it is claimed the road will sell for over three million dollars. The telegraph announces that Presi? dent Hayes is to start for California in a few days, and that during bis sojourn there he will stump the Pacific slope for Garfield and Arthur. This will be in full keeping with Republican party policy, but will be a great outrage upon the precedents of tbe republic, and will not be likely to help the Republican ticket. A general public indignation will be aroused by such a violation of delicacy and decency. Dr. Tanner, the New York man who has undertaken to fast forty days, has completed his thirtieth day, without food of any kind. He is closely watch? ed, and tbe only nourishment taken is water. It is generally conceded that he will accomplish tbe fast, and if there is no humbug connected with it, will be very remarkable. A COUNCIL OF THF SACHEMS. Proceeding* of the Tamilian}' State Com? mittee at Saratoga Yesterday. Saratoga, July 23. The State committee of the Tammany Democrats met here this morning and was called to order by John H. Colby, chair? man. Every member was either present or represented by a substitute. Secreta? ry S. Keels said that ho had resigna? tions from the candidates for electors who were nominated at Shakespeare Hall. Mr. Page, of Oswego, moved their accep? tance. Air. Cowen, of Saratoga, thought it better to appoint :i committee of five to confer with other organizations before accepting these resignations. No-action was taken on the subject. On motion of John Kelly, the chairman appointed five members to act with the chairman and secretary of the committee to prepare an address. The committee consists of John Kelly, Win. W. Wright, E. S. Jenny, a. Lanson, S. Page and F. L. Westbrook. The State committee then took a recess until 4 o'clock. later. The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That while our constituents had no part in the nomination of the electoral ticket haacled by the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, we recognize that vot? ing for that ticket th y will vote for our national candidates whose success would be jeopardized by retaining two electoral tickelB in the State, and we therefore accept the resignation of the gentlemen nominated as electors by the Shakespeare Hall Convention, and determine that tbe uuion and harmony of the party will be best served by omitting to fill the vacan? cies. The committee adopted an address to the Democratic party of the State, in which they say that the nomination of Hancock has lifted the whole party above embarrassing local and State dis? tractions to a broad national ground, and has blotted out past alienations by a grand hope. There is now but one party, one cause and one work, in which all Democrats should heartily unite, and to j which they should devote their utmost zeal. Let past alienations be forgotten. Buried forever be everything that has tended to divide our counsels and em? bitter those who should co-opera-.e. Let us sacrifice personal preferences and am? bitions on the altar of the united party. Let everything be done that can be done with self-respect and honor to strengthen the Democratic party in the St ue aud Nation, and secure an unprecedented Democratic triumph. The committee then adopted the fol? lowing preinable and resolutions: Whereas, the wise and patriotic action of the Democratic Natioual Convention recently assembled at Cincinnati in plac? ing before the people of tbe Union as candidates for President and Vice-Presi? dent of the United States, Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock and Hon. Win. H. En? glish, ha* settled all the differences which have divided the Democratic par? ty upon national issues in this State; therefore. Resolved, That with a view of having a convention in this State wherein all members of the Democracy of the State may be fairly and properly represented, a sub-committee of five be appointed by the chair to confer with the Democratic Stats committee, of which Hon. Lester B. Faulkner is chairman, aud that sub? committee be clothed with full power in the premises.

York: A colored boy was killed on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail? road at a point near Rock Hill. A Terrible Butchery. A correspondent of the Abbeville Me dann, writing from Mill way, Abbeville County, under date of July 19, gives the following account of a colored brute's assault upon bis wife : Early last Friday morning cries of "My poor wife is dead, what shall I do," were heard for miles around Millway. It was soon ascertained that Abraham Martin, colored, was making those cries and his wife, Lucinda Martin, was lying apparently dead, with her head badly broken in, under a dead tree, in the corner of Abraham's yard. To those who first come to bis cries, be told that on getting up, he saw something lying1 in his yard, and went out and found it was his poor wife, with limbs on and around her, which he knew had fallen from the tree and killed her. From the first he was suspected of having commit? ted the deed,' for the limbs were not of the same kind of wood, that would have fallen from the tree. Trial Justice E. W. Watson and his constable W. A Harris were soon on the ground. Mr. Harris arrested Abraham, and Esquire Watson began to investigate the matter at once. Abraham at first denied every? thing, but late in the evening be had so completely wound himself up, by giving contradictory testimony, that he con? cluded to make a confession, not, howev? er, before it was discovered that his un? der garments were covered with blood. He denied using an axe, that was found near with hair and blood on it, and said he ouly used a chair post. Esquire Wat? son had him committed to jail, and on his way up he acknowledged that he used the axe. Lucinda was an honest, in? dustrious woman, having lived with Abraham as his lawful wife for some thirty-five years, and is the mother of fourteen children by him. Some years ago, be concluded that he was entitled to more than one wife, and consequently he has had living with him for the past twelve years another woman. Some six weeks ago this woman joined the church, and refused to live any longer in adul? tery with him. He thought all that was necessary for him to do was to make himself a widower, and marry lawful? ly the woman he had been living with, but in this he was mistaken. He is not yet a widower, although the attending physician Dr. Neel, says there is little nope for her recovery, though at this writing (Monday morning,) she is better and has spoken for the first time eiuce the horrible attack was made on her.
