Ac no nominations for Congress have yet been rando in this State, we wonld tike to ?on the experiment of selecting the candidate by a primary election tried. This mode of nomination possesses a?re rai 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 the most acceptable, uian in the district will be put forward for election. It gives a freer canvass of tho merits and demerits of any aspirant, and the question is de? cided by a greater number of people than by tho Convention, and therefore the decision ia apt to be more Impartial, and is more ?tire lo condemn an Improper aspirant. The greatest advantage, bow? over, ne tbiuk ls to oe derived from bringing mein bent of Congress face ia 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 thia ne cessity to please tho ordinary voters they would sU'dy'.?ie wants 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 serviee aftei election. Wo are willing to try tblc plan in the Tbw-d District with the three gentlemen who have beep spoken of foi the nomination. It will be fair to all o: them, and we know that wo fully expr?s the feeling of Col. Orr, who is the pre fercuco of this and at least two or thrc< other Counties for tho position, when wi say thal he does not desire thc nomina tion unie ? J he is the choice of the ma jovity of the Democratic voters of tin District, mid wo pr?same, it is also tin case of the other gentlemen named fo the nomination. It would givo to Col Aikeh the opportunity to face his con atituents and renbar an account of hi stewardship; thus giving to bim tho od vantage of an intelligent review, and a the tamo time affording tho opnortunit; for such upon and fair criticism a? i healthful and proper. It viii give ai equal chance to all, and allow the peopl to fender their own verdict, after sceini and bearing all of the candidates, thei opinions and the objections to them We are, therefore, highly in favor c referring tho Congressional nomination generally, and in thia District particu larly, to a primary election. It wilt b fair to all-unfair to none-and tho re snit witt be satisfactory to the friends c all parties. WHO AltB THE rimCHABE?ST The Greenville and Columbia Bail road case iias elicited very great intoref during the progress of the cause befor 'Judge Hudson last week. The fact upon which the contest as to the valait of the recent salo rests aro clearly sc forth in the following statement by Mm ter N. B. Barnwell in his report to th court: During the courso of the bidding, an when tho said W. A. Courtenay had bi the sum of two million threo huudre and ninety-three thousand and sis hue dred dollar-, (12,863,000) the Haste supposing that to be tho highest hie directed the crier td cease crying,' an received from e eons In tho presenc of the nald Vv. A. Courtenay a pap? containing the following names i '.WI Clyde, T. at, Logan, Jos. Bryan, W. i Montgomery," and having previousl written down tho amount of the bid tai .mentioned, wrote down the names bane ed to him on the sale-book. And th said Jos. Bryan handed to the Master .package of money. : Immediately thereupon, one Cummings, who had been bidding on th ?aid property for a long while in oppos tion to the said W. A. Courtenay, di mauded tbut the. sale should proceed, an claimed to havo bid a higher amour than tho amount bid by tho said W. j Courtenay, The Master, upon information given t him by several impartial citizens presen supported as it was by tho genenil test ninny o? the bystanders,' becomih entirely satisfied that tho claim of sa! --? Cummings was true, and that tri said W. A. Courtenay was not entitle io be considered the highest bidder at tl Erice above-named, directed tho sale t a continued at once, and iiaving irnnn dlatcly crowed-out the humea he ha entered on his books and the amount < tho bid. returned the package of morie to tbs said Jos. Bryan. Tho entire episode did not take moi than one minute, except on tho retur the package of money, the delay ns I that being duo to tho unwillingness < tho Master to pass about in the crowd packago purporting to contain so large sam or rooney. The eaid Jos. Bryan, W. P. Olydo an T. M.- Logan being at the placo of tali claimed that inasmuch as they bad pr< ductd the deposit money that the cam should ho required of ?ny other biddi before ida bid should .bo .received, an ibis demand, which was frequently r< pealed hy tho samo persons during tl further progress of the bidding, the Ma ter declining to accede to, tho sale wi proceeded with, tho property being pt upai the bid pf Mr. Courtenay, name); twp million titree hundred and nine^ three thousand six huc^rH d^ar which amount was at onco raised by th nald ?. Ou m til! nora ?A ths r,'.:rr. cf ts million three hundred and nlnety-thn thousand ', ,ven hundred dollars, ai VtpoR Mr. Courtenay replying with higher bid, ho (Mr. Courtenay) continue as before to bid on the property site nately with the said Cummings until ll hM t??2 Olia ?iWi ?M-.? -_.1.-3 -t .i property was knocked down to the sal W. A Courtenay as already ?tated, .ar upon the packago Of money being ham od to the Mustpr, the said W. A Court nay was publicly declared to bo tho pu chaser of ths said property without pr test or objection on tho part of any oi present. Nor from that time forwai until a very few days prior to the 15th July was intimation given to tho Mast of any claimof any person or pewoi to ho tho porcliSBers of tho sa railroad at any price less , than tho tu bf two million nine hundred and eixt three thousand and four hundred dc Nor during tho bidding was Ibero ai intimation given that the bidding 1 Mr. Courtenay was at one limo In ai different interest from what it waa at ai other time. It was on bis bid. made open and fr?quent consultation wi Messrt. Clydti trogan and Bryan that t sal? waa at first'stepper}, andi it waa i his bid made In fieo manner that i property wa* finally knocked down to h with, their consent at two million ni . packogf.. bf money !. > mn .Afc,1 i close vt tho bidding was tba ?mia pin ago Pf mpney which, had bonn banded me before by Mr. Jos. Bryan, r8o mi TW? ibo impn Baton produced on the ral : ia Master that th? last bid waa j bid of tho s.'i?n? persons ?a the ona which tbao^i* *ras temporarily stopt that ho ?r.ttf about fco V^/*- the sa j name?, and asked whether Jip eludid so. when, after some consultation buwecn Mr. W. Courtenay, Mr. Wm. Clyde. Mr. James Bryau and Mr. T. M. Lognv, tbe Master was requ ?ted by ono of thc <a to enter the name of W. A Courtenay tia tho purchaser and to declare the tame publicly, and it was eo done. No compllanco with the terms of sale having been made by any party beyond the payment nf the forfeit of twenty thousand dollars, and a stay of proceed ings as to the resale of the property hav ing been onlered in consequence of the claim of Mr. Clyde and bis associates that they purchased at the sum of $2,893, 600, with which purcbaie 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 $2,968,400, to wbich he returned answer by Messrs. Bryan & Bryan and Samuel Lord, his attorneys, that as the agent of tho Clyde syndicate he had pur chared the road at $2,393,600, and that thereafter the bidding had been re-open ed, upon which he ceased to take un/ further interest as such agent, ,<dd >aly bid against one Cummings, who appeared to be drunk, and was, as tbe respondent believes, simply a straw bidder, he hav ing during tho sale proposed to tease bidding for a consideration, which re spondent rejected. That respondent Quully had tho property knocked down to him tho BCCOI ' time at $2,963,400, and lie again put un the twenty thousand dollar i as a forfeit. He claims that the first was tho valid sale, and th?, second wholly null and void. The proper par ties have been made, and Judge Hudson passed an order requiring tho Master to tako testimony as to the facts connected with the salo, and report to him on tbe 18th of August next, nt 10 o'clock a. m., in Columbia. Tho principal parties who will lose by tho BUC-CBS of tho Clyde syndicate are tho holders of second mort .jSgo bonds, who will realizo over forty per cent, if the lost Bale stands, while they will get nothing if thc first prevails. There will bo a strong fight mado by this class of bondholders either to have the last salo stand or a new sale ordered, in which contingency it is claimed tho road will sell for over three million dollars. Tho telegraph announces that Presi dent Hayes is to start for California in a few days, and that during his sojourn there ho will stump the Pacific slope for Garfield and Arthur. This will be in full keeping with Republican party policy, but wiil be a great outrage upon the precedents of the republic, and will not bo likely to help tho Republican tickot. A general public indignation will be aroused by such n violation of delicacy and docency. Dr. Tanner, tho New York man who has undertaken to fast forty days, bas completed his thirtieth day, without food of any kind. He is closely watch ed, and the only nourishment taken ia water. It iu generally conceded that he will accomplish tho fast, and if there is no humbug connected with it, will bo very remarkable. A COUNCIL OF THF SACHEMS. Proceeding* of th?

The committee adopted an address to tho Democratic party of the State, in which they say that the nomination of Hancock has lifted tho whole party above embarrassing local and State* dis tract ic .is to a broad national ground, and has blotted out past alienations bv a grand hope. There ia now bu t ono party, one canso and ono work, in which ali Democrats should heartily unite, and to which they should devote their utmost zeal. Let past alienations bo forgotten.

A correspondent of the Abbeville Me dium, writing from Millway, Abbeville County, under date of July 19, gives tho 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, waa making those cries and hi* wife, Lucinda Martin, was lying apparently dead, with her lied badly broken in, under a dead tree, in the corner of Abraham's yard. To those who first como to bis cries, bo told that on getting up, be saw something lying in his yard, and went out and found it waa bis poor wife, with limbs on and around her, which ho knew bad fallen from tho tree and killed her. From the first he was suspected of having commit ted tho deed; for the limbs were not of the same kind of wood, that would have fuller* from the tree. Trial Justice E. W. Walsc*.; and bis constable W. A Harris were soon on the ground. Mr. Harris arrested Abraham, and Esquire Watson began to investigate tho matter at once. Abraham at first denied every thing, but Into in the evening be bad so completely xrourd himself up, by giviu^ contradictory testimony,. that ho. con cluded to make a confession, not, howev er, boforo it was discovered that his un der garments were covered with blood. He denied using nu axe, that was fonnd near with bair and blood on_it, and said he only used a chair post, rsquire wat son had him committed to jail, and on bis 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 hy him.
