There will be a meeting of the Exec? utive Committee of the Democratic party for Anderson County in the Intelli? gences Office, at Anderson Court House, on Monday, the 9th day of Au? 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.

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 the Executive Committee as soon as possible. Every member of tbe Committee is especially urged to be present at the time above indicated. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. Senators Wade Hampton and Z. B. Vance spoke at a Democratic ratification meeting in Staunton, Va., on Monday, and we are told by the correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch that "constant roars of applause were kept up, except when the pathetic appeals of the Sena? tors from the Carolinas to Virginians not to force the hated Republican rule again upon the South brought a solemn hush upon the vast assembly, and some tears to the eyes of Massey." The handsome residence of Col. J. T. Robertson, of Abbeville, was entirely consumed by fire on last Tuesday night from an unascertained cause. The dwelling was built in 1850 by the late Col. J. Foster Marshall, at a cost of some twelve thousand dollars, and had recent? ly been repaired at considerable expense. It was one of tbe handsomest residences in Abbeville. There was only four thou? sand dollars of insurance on it, so that Col. Robertson is a very heavy loser. A considerable amount of Hon. A. Burt's personal property, which was in one of the rooms, was also destroyed. IMPERIALISM REVIVED. Gen. Grant has at last determined to support Garfield and Arthur, and ap? pears for their relief in a most dictatorial proclamation to the "Boys in Blue," whom he seems to imagine he still com? mands, in the following: general orders, no. 1. Hdqs. Union Veterans' Union, "Boys in Blue," New York, July 22. I. The member for each State of the National Committee of the Union Vete? rans' Union will at once proceed to or? ganize the "Boys in Blue" in their re auectivo States to promote the election of Garfield and Arthur. II. The organizations of the "Boys in Blue" will report to the department com? manders in their respective States. By order of U. S. Grant, Commander-in-Chtef "Boys in Blue." Drake DeKay, Adjutant-General. This is a pretty piece of impudence coming from the party which is opposing Gen. Hancock, because he is a military . man. They do not want to elect a mil? itary man who pursues the way of peace in times of peace, but wish to elect by military means the man who pursues the ways of war in times of peace. This />rdcr of Oen. Grant shows that he is so thoroughly imbued with imperialism tint he cannot write out a notice for or? ganization without doing so in the dicta? torial style of an autocrat. It would be unsafe for die Republic to sanction the political party which pursues victory by such methods. The foregoing is the ?erious view of "General .Orders, No. 1," but it also has something of jthe ludi crous. Gen. Grant seems to have forgot? ten that he is not at the bead of an army, \ #ud is issuing his "General Orders" as if 1 there were some body of men to obey him. Shakespeare tells us of Banquo's ghost, which would not down when bid? den, and we predict that Gen. Grant's army of ''Boys in Blue" will show them? selves equally perverse by refusing to up at his command. Grant is a dead lion so far as politics is concerned, and the sooner he realizes the fact the less ridicu? lous he will appear. CHANGE IN DAT OF MEETING. The meeting of the County Executive Committee has been changed from next Tuesday to next Monday in order to ac? commodate the members of the Commit? tee who wish to attend the Georgia State Agricultural Fair Association, which meets in Hartwell on next Tuesday. Every member of the Committee should attend on next Monday. TANNER STILL HOLDS OUT. A dispatch from New York dated Au? gust 3, gives the following particulars of Dr. Tanner's fast. His task will be fin? ished at 12 o'clock on Saturday next: His features are pinched and drawn, and his eyes look heavy. His temper is irritable, and crowds of spectators annoy him. His usual drive failed to benefit him, and he says he will give up going out until the end of his fast. During the morning he drank at intervals less than half a pint of croton and mineral water. He is now on his thirty-seventh day. The record of Dr. Haeher, who was one of the watchers, last night says "I don't yet find anything alarming in Dr. Tanner's condition, and believe from the strength developed when he walks, moves and speaks, that if he abstains from irritating drinks, like mineral water, he may fast four or five days more ?that is up to Saturday." His strength seems to leave him during the early morning hours, and at this time the watchers are doubly careful lest signs of collapse should begin to show themselves. At one time during last night there were no less than ten physicians in the gallery. Tanner seemed to wish for all the air he could possibly get, and bad all the win? dows open. A refreshing breeze during the night was enjoyed very much by him. GENERAL HANCOCK'S LETTER. A Paper Every way Worthy of the Sol? dier-Statesman. New York, July 30. The following is Glen. Hancock's letter of acceptance: Governor's Island, \ New York City, July 29. J Gentlemen: I have the honor to ac? knowledge tbe receipt of your letter of July 13, 1880, apprising me formally of my nomination to the office of Presi? dent of the United States by the National Democratic Convention lately assembled in Cincinnati. I accept the nomination with a grateful appreciation of the confi? dence reposed in me. The principles enunciated by the Con? vention are those I have cherished in the past and shall endeavor to maintain in the future. the 13th, 14TH and 1?TH amendments to the Constitution of the United States embodying the results of the war for the Union are inevitable. If called to the Presidency I should deem it my duty to resist, with all of my power, any attempt to impair or evade the fall force and effect of tbe Constitution, which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law cf the land. The Constitu? tions forms tbe basis of the government of the United States. The powers granted by it to the legislative, executive and judicial departments define and limit the anthority of the General Government. Powers not delegated to the United States by tho Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States belong to the States respect? ively or to the people in general; and tbe State governments, each acting in its own sphere without trenching upon the lawful jurisdiction of the others, consti? tute the Union. This Union, comprising the General Government with general powers and the state governments with State powers for purposes local to the States, is a polity, tbe foundations of which were laid in the profoundest v is dom. This is tbe Union our fathers made and which has been respected abroad, and so beneficient at home. Tried by blood and fire it stands to-day a model form of free popular government, a po? litical system which, rightly administer? ed, has been and will continue to be the admiration of the world. May we not say nearly in the words of Washington, "the unity of government which consti? tutes us one people is justly dear to us; it is the main pillar in tbe edifice of our real independence, the support of our peace, safety and prosperity, and ofthat liberty so highly prize and intend at every hazard to preserve." But no form of government, however carefully devised, no principles, however sound, will protect the rights of the peo? ple, unless the administration is faithful and efficient. It is a vital .principle in our svstem that neither fraud nor force must bo al? lowed to subvert tbe rights of the people. When fraud, violence or incompetence controls, the noblest constitutions and wisest laws are useless. the bayonet is n?.t a fit instrument for collecting the votes of free men. It is only by a full vote, free ballot and fair count, that the people can rule in fact as required by the theory of our government. Take' this foundation away and the whole structure falls. Public oflw>o js a trust, not a bounty bestowed upon the bolder. No incom? petent or dishonest parson should ever 36 entrusted with it, ov if appointed they should be promptly ejected. The basis of any substantial, practical civil service reform must be established by the people in filling elective offices. If they fix a high standard of qualifications for office and sternly rej'e i the corrupt and incompetent, me result win be deci? sive in governing the action of the ser? vants whom they entrust with tfce ap? pointing power. ? the war for the union was successfully closed more than fifteen years ago. AH classes of our people must share alike in tbe blessings of the Union and are equally concerned in its perpetu? ity and in the proper administration of public affairs, we are in a state of pro? found peace. Henceforth let It be our purpose to cultivate sentiments of friend? ship and no animosity against our fellow citizens. Our material interests, varied and progressive, demand our constant und united efforts. A sedulous and scru? pulous care of tbe public credit, together with a wise and economical management of our governmental expenditures should be maintained, in order that labor may be lightly burdened and that all persons may be protected in their rights to the fruits of their own industry. Tbe time has come to enjoy (he substantial BENEFITS of reconcilia? tion, As one people we have common inter? ests. Let us encourage that harmony and generous rivalry among our own indus? tries which will revive our languishing merchant marine, extend our commerce with foreign countries, assist our mer? chants, manufacturers, and producers to develop our vast national resources, and increase the prosper^ and happiness of our people. If elected, I shall, with the divine fa? vor, labor with what ability I possess to discharge my duties with fidelity accord? ing to my convictions, and shall take care to protect and defend the Union and to see that tho laws be faithfully and equally executed in all parts of the coun? try alike. I will assume tbe responsibil? ity fully sensible of the fact that to ad? minister rightly the functions of govern? ment is to discharge the most sacred duty that can devolve upon an American citi? zen. I ' I am, very respectfully. Winfield S. Hancock. To John W. Stevenson, president of Con? vention, Hon. John P. Stockton, chair? man, and others of the committee of the National democratic Convention. some very pears' english. The Letter of Acceptance of the Demo? cratic Candidate for Vlcc-President, Indianapolis, July 30. The Hon. Wm. H. English transmitted the following letter of acceptance of the nomination of candidate for "Vice-Presi? dent to the committee of notification to? day : To Hon. John TV. Stevenson, President of Con? vention, Hon. John 1[. Stockton, Chairman aud other Members of the Committee of No? tification : Indianapolis, July 30. Gentlemen : I have now the honor to reply to yonr letter of the 13th instant informing me that I was unanimously nominated for Vico-President of the United States by the late Democratic National Convention which assembled at Cincinnati. As foreshadowed in verbal re? marks made by me at the time of the delivery of your letter, I have now to say that I accept the high trust, with a realizing sense of its responsibility, and am profoundly grateful for the honor conferred. I accept the nomination upon the platform of principles adopted by the Convention, which I cordially approve, and I accept it quite as much because of my faith in tho wisdom and patriotism of*the great statesman and soldier nomi? nated on the same ticket for Presi? dent of the United States. His eminent services to his country, his fidelity to the Constitution, the Union and the laws, his clear perception of correct principles of government as taught by Jefferson; his scrupulous care to keep the military in strict subordination to the civil au? thorities ; his high regard for civil lib? erty, personal rights and the rights of property; his acknowledged ability in civrl as well as military affairs, ana his pure and blameless life, aH point to him as a man worthy of the confidence of the people, as not only a brave soldier, great commander, wise statesman and pure patriot, but a prudent, painstaking, practical man of unquestioned honesty. Trusted often with important public du? ties, faithful to every trust and in the full meridian of a ripe and vigorous manhood, he is, in my judgment, emi? nently fitted for the highest position on earth?the Presidency of the United States. Not only is ho the right man for the Elace, but the time has come when the est interests of the country require that the party which has monopolized the executive department of the General Government "for the last twenty years should be retired. The continuance of that party in power four yeare longer would not be beneficial to the public, or in accordance with the spirit of our re? publican institutions. Laws of entail have not been favored in our system of government. The perpetuation of prop? erty or place in one family or set of men has never been encouraged in this coun? try, and the great and good men who, founded our Republican government and its traditions, wisely limited the tenure of office, and in many ways show? ed their disapproval of long leases of power. twenty years of continuous power is long enough, and has already lea to irregularities and cor? ruptions which are not likely to be prop ly exposed under tbe same party that perpetrated them. It should not be forgotten that the four last years of power held by that party were procured by discreditable means, and held in defiance of the wishes of the majority of the people. It was a griev? ous wrong to every voter and our system of self-government which should nevei be forgotten or forgiven. Many of the men now in office were put there because of corrupt partisan services in thus de? feating the fairly and legally expressed will of the majority, ana the hypocrisy of the professions of that party in favor of civil service reform was shown by placing such men in office and turning the whole brood of Federal office-holders loose to influence elections. The money of the people taken out of the public treasury by these men for services of ten poorly performed or not peformed at all, being used in vast sums with the knowl? edge and presumed sanction of the ad? ministration to control elections, and even members of the Cabinet are stroll? ing about the country making partisan speeches, instead of being in their de? partments at Washington discharging the public duties for which they are paid by the people. But with all their cleverness and ability a discriminating public will no doubt read between tbe lines of their speeches that their paramount hope and aim is to keep themselves or their satal ites four years longer in office. That perpetuating the powers of chronic Federal officeholders four years longer will not benefit the millions of men and women who hold no office, but earn their daily .bread by honest indus? try is what tho same discerning public will no doubt fully understand, as they will also that it is because of their own indus? try and economy, and God's bountiful harvests, that the country is compara? tively prosperous, and not because of anything done by these Federal office? holders. The country is comparatively prosperous, not because of them, but in spite of them. This contest is in fact between the people endeavoring to retain the political power which rightfully be? longs to them, and to restore the pure, simple;'economical, constitutional gov? ernment of our fathers on the one side, and a hundred thousand Federal office? holders and their backers, pampered with place and power and determined to retain them at all hazards, on the other. Hence the constant assumption of new and dangerous powers by the general government under the rule of the Repub? lican party, the eifort, to build up what they call a strong Government, tho in? terference with home rule and the ad? ministration of justice in the courts of the several States, the interference with elections through the medium of paid partisan Federal officeholders interested in keeping their party in power, and caring more for that than for fairness in elections. In fact the constant encroach? ments which havo been made by that party upon the clearly reserved rights of the people and States will, if not checked, subvert the liberties of 'he people and the Government of limited' powers created by the fathers, and end in a great consoli? dated central Government, strong in? deed for evil and the overthrow of Re? publican institutions. The wise men who founded our Consti? tution knew the evils OF strong government and the long continuance of political power in the same hands. They knew there was a tendency in this diroction in all governments, and consequent danger to Ropubliean institutions from that cause, and took pains to guard against it. The machinery of a strong centralized general government can be used' to per? petuate the same set of men in power j from term to term, until it ceases to be a Republic, or }s such only in name, and the tendency of f.ha par.ty now in power In tbajt. direction, as shovyo jn various j ways besides the willingness recpntfy manifested by a J.arge numjbor of that party to elect h Presfde^t an unlimited number of times, is quite Apparent, and must satisfy thinking poo pie thai (.ftp time has come when it will be safest and best for that party to be retired. But in resisting the enei'oaehmcuts.of the Gener? al Government upon the reserved rights of the people and States, I wish to be distinctly understood as favoring a prop* er exercise by the General Government of the powers rightly belonging to it, and under the Constitution the encroach? ment upon the constitutional rights of the Geuerajl Government, or interference with the proper exercises of its mv/eys. muBt be avoided. The Union of States under tbe Constitution must be main? tained, and it is well known that this has always been the position of both the candidates on the Democratic President tial ticket. It is acquiesced in every? where, and is now and finally and forev? er settled as one of the results of tho war. It Is certain beyond all question that tho legitimate results of itho war for the Un? ion will not be overthrown or impaired should the Democratic ticked be eleetpd. In that event proper protoation. will b? given in every legitimate way to every citizen, natiro or adopted, in every sec? tion of the Republic, in tho enjoyment of all tbe rights guaranteed by the Constitu? tion and its amendmeut?. a SOUND CURRHNO'Y ok i?qkk$t 5/OSlvY of value and purchasing power corres? ponding substantially with the standard recognized by the commercial world, und consisting of gold and silver paper con? vertible into coin will bo maintained. The labor and manufacturing, commer? cial and business interests of tho country will be favored and encouraged in cycry legitimate way. Tho toiling millions of our own people will be protected from tho destructive competition of Chinese, and to that end their immigration to our shores will bo properly restricted. Tho public cradit will be scrupulously maintained and strengthened by rigid economy in c.x- ? penditures, and the liberties of the people will be protected by a government of law and order administered strictly in the in? terests of all the people and not of corpo? rations and privileged classes. I do not doubt the discriminating justice of the people and their capacity for intelligent self government, and therefore do not doubt the success of tho Democratic ticket. Its success would bury beyond resurrection THE SECTIONAL JEALOUSIES AND HA? TREDS which have so long been the chief stock in trade of pestiferous demagogues, and in no other way can this be so effectually accomplished. It would restore harmo? ny and good feeling between all sections and make us in fact as well as in name one people. The only rivalry then would be in the race for the development of material prosperity, elevation of labor, enlargement of human rights, promotion of education, morality, religion, liberty, order and all that would tend to make us tho foremost nation of earth in the grand march of human progress. I am, with great respect, very truly yours, Wm, H. English. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Gleanings from our State Exchanges.

Why Do We Do This ? BECAUSE our Stock is too large for this season of the year! BECAUSE we make more by selling everything at cost than carrying over, as to all indications, Goods are going to be low next season. BECAUSE wc need every inch of our large store for an immense stock of Fall Goods. BECAUSE the people expect of us to follow the example of the leading Store in every city to have a great "Clearing Sale." BECAUSE we can afford it, and wo know our hundreds of customers appreciate our efforts. Lay aside your prejudices, and don't think that Charleston, Atlanta or New York are the only places where you buy what you want at a low figure.
