Ho did not make a success canvassing for himself. Perhaps he can can do better for some- ' body else. ..ii 1 i imtlm The Republicans speak of sending Gan. Grant down South to canvass for Garfield. It is a good idea. Tho Gene ral has never been voted as a good speaker. He is about old enough to begin learning, if he over expects to become an orator. Some Northern Republicano desire to have Gen. Garfield canvass the South in person. Wo hope tboir counsels will prevail, for while he would certainly bo treated personally with every considera tion ho would find it necessary to tako np most of his timo in defending his own corrupt record. General Hoacncrans docs not seem to fear tho influence of tho rebel brigadiers over Hancock' if ho should bo cleoted Preaidont. Tho General is enthusiastic for Hancock, although Garfield was the Adjutant Goicrol on his staff. Ho rep resents tho whole Pacifie coast aa ablaze with enthusiasm for tho Democratic nominees. Tho meeting at Williaraiton to-day ? ia really tho opening of the campaign in Anderson County, and it will ho a grand success. Our people begin to realize that wo will have;* contest thia fall ana, from thia time, on tho campaign will he kept red hot. Every person who can go to WilliatnBton to-day ahould do . so to increase tho attondpuco and enthusiasm of tho meeting. Gen. E. R. Hophill, in declining to becorno a candidate for the House of Ropr?centatives from Abbeville, has not ceased to tako an activo part in tho cam paign, and hU Influence and ?eal will bo fully exerted to retain the unity and succcnaof tho Democratic party in tho County of -Abbeville and of tho cutiro State. Tho General leaves politics after four years of able eud efficient service, durhig an eventful poriod of our State's history. He carries with him the well wishes of his many friends, and the gratltudo of an appreciative constituency. Tho State meeting at Anderson on the 9th of September will bo addressed by Senators Hampton and Butler and tho Stato.'iiomirjccs, tngothcr with General Conner and Captain F. W? Dawson, if they can attend. Tho Democracy of tho Stato expect Anderson to bo up to her past ?cord, and they mus?, not be disap pointed. Wo ought to havo fully ten thousand persons hero on that doy. Every man, woman and child iu the County uhould be present to ?ear tho distinguished speakers and Btart tho campaign with unprecedented enthual a&rn. '* V. Abbeville County is abhizo with rail road excitement upon tho. preposition to extend the Atlantic & French Broad Volley Railroad from Belton to tho Green wood and Augunta Railroad by way of Abbeville Court.House. It U proposed to do this by taxation. Thuy havo held n scries of meetings along ~*,ho' proposed line, ai which ti,ti/_u}b?tt ir.jr.i i>iu,U j,?> Col. IVE- Bowen of x-?ckens, Dr. W. (J. BrO?vu of lisUcn, and Mcssm. R. li. Homphill, W. Ki Bradley, E. B. Gary,' Wm. Hood, J. e. Maxwell, M. E. Bon iinoij '??ri,' m. Xi. willie, and Judges Mc Gowan and Thompson, all in fuvor of thq enterprise. Thc voto ia to be taken somu time soon, and the friends of the ineasbre aro. asinino of aucccw. .Gen? Garfield ha3 d?fled tho precedent's set him by every preceding candidato for thc- iViblency of tho,United Sittea ' 7 hitivjolf making public speeches nd* scating tho claims) of tho Rcpubllc?n ?-ty to popular ?vor, which is only an? a people to elect '.>. .;.i';V*ut. Heretofore candidates' tied office havo at least affect and that they will show that reverence by overwhelmingly defeating tho nom inee of riu?p?, aggression and centraliza tion. , ? Tho testimony lu the Greenville and Columbia Railroad caso has been closed, and the second mm (gage bondholders bare clearly established the fuels asset forth in tho Macer's report, to the effect that .the road was erroneously knocked down to Hon. W. C. Courtenay at the bid of ?2,893,000, as Mr. Cummings Md a largor sum before the Bale was closed. It is true that tho Clyde syndicate also proved by a number of gentlemen that they did not hear the higher bid, but that is negativo testimony, and cannot avail unless tbe testimony of those witnesses who assert that they heard the higher bid is disbelieved. In this case their testimony cannot bo dis believed, aud hence it is pretty safe to predict that the sale will either be con firmed at tbe second bid of $2,980,000, or a resalo of the property ordered. It is well worin the last price, and it is but juBtice to tho recond mortgage bond holders that ti.? eecond?b?d should stand. Tho Georgia Democrats aro too strong to appreciate tho value of harmony and unity. A* their Stnto Convention lost week tbey failed to make any nomination for Governor by reason of a fierce and uncompromising fight for and against Gov. Oolquitt. The Convention very unfortunately adopted the two-thirds rule, and found itself in tho situation of having, after thirty-eight ballots, two hundred and fifteen votes for Colquitt, with one hundred and thirty-five against bim and distributed between Lester, Hardeman and Gartrell. This left Col quitt about twenty votes short of the necessary two-thirds, and tho feeling bad become so intense that tho minority would not como to the majority and the majority would not yield to the minority. As a consequence the Convention could not agree upon a candidate for Governor, and proceeded to nominate the balance of the State ticket without much diffi culty. Tho majority then presented tue name of Gov. Colquitt, and tho minority that of Hon. Thoa. N, Norwood. There are, theroforo, two Democratic candidates for Governor in that State. It is, how ever, not difficult to forecast tho result, as Gov. Colquitt will undoubtedly bo re elected by nu overwhelming majority. Somo of our exchanges, among whom is tho Columbia Register, do not seem to realizo the anomaly in which the Su premo Court is pieced by tho contest be tween Judge Willard and Gov. Simpson for tho Chief JuerK-eabip. Tbero is no Judgo? JU tho Court who can sit upon tba trial of tho causo except Mr. Associate Justice Mcivor. Judgo- Willard of course cannot sit upon tho trial, because bo is a party to tho suit, nor can Judgo McGowan sit in tho trial, for ho lean interested party, from the fact that ho waa elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by, tho resignation of Mr. Justlco Hask ell, so that if Judgo Willard was elected for n torra of six years Judge McGowan was also, and while Judge McGowan does'not contend' for such a tenure, it would bo manifestly indelicate for him tc participate in the ndjudicature of tho ; question. The Governor wul have to natue tho lawyers to net \iS Supreme Court Judges in the trial of tho case, and heneo Col. Jeter, the President of tho Senate, will havo tc quullfy as Gov ernor and make thc appointments. It acema to many of tho lawyers of tho State a very plain case, and wo have no doubt it will bo speedily fettled. Ir. the meantime, however, it will bo about ss hard to get a Court competent to try it I as la to be found in rny cano. AIKEN AND WAU.ACK. Tho Congrewiobalerace in this Dis trict is pretty well settled, but still it is pot free from asperity. Col. Wm. Wallace is after Col. Aiken, and seems disposed to ranko somo personal issues in the fol lowing card to tho Columbia Register, which Col. Aiken may feel called upon to answer, aud thus wo may bo lookers on in a battlo of words. In the last Issue of tho Columbia Reg' ister, Col, Wau Wallaces has a card, in which ho thusdisco j, co of the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, who hau denounced tho Colonel, in reply toa verbal attack from tho stump, as ''puerile and demagoguisb," or words to that effect : ? * * * * "and tho word demagoguisb, if in any j way applicable to my remarks, which I deny, comes with Ul grace from ono-who j bas tho reputation <of being, par excel' lenee, ihv demagogue' of the state. He \ says bis furl impulse was to address a letter to mo: but concluded, after reading the report of tho proceedings in tho Dis paieh, to defer ha reply to the attacks upon his course, of which tho speaker' (meaning myself) shewed, aa it seemed t?i 'him, "pitiablr. ignorance," until tho opening ot the campaign, which proba bly will bo after ibo nomination, and which in this district .ls virtually an election.

A few month* ugo be was uncer tain whether be was a Gary or a Hagood man, and now he seem* to bo uncertain whether be is a man at oil or not, so /ar a? politics is concerned. His late card withdrawing from the canvass for the Legislature was quite ambiguous so far as stating his position, and naturally in vited comment from tho Slate Press, which has evoked from him the follow ing card : GREENVILLE. S. C., Aug. IO, 1880. Mr. Editor ; The following article ap peared in your issue of this date, vis : "Several of our State exchenges are remarking on the ambiguous language of ex-Judge Cooke's caril of withdrawal, and some of the people of Greenville aro also asking what he meiuit. It is a mat ter of tasto and discretion, but it seems to us that it would bo advisable for soveral reasons for the Judge to rise and explain." \'/hi!o X am greatly obliged to you for the kindly suggestion, that I.ihould"rise and explain, you rvill permit me to say, it Is a matter of perfect indifference to mo as to what construction tho "State ex changes" or "como of tho people of Greenville" moy place upon my "card of withdrawal" as a candidate for re-elec tion to tho Legislature-and this will over bo so, unless, per chance, they should think or tell tho truth on me. The Democratic pnrty. certainly, hos many sins, both of (Immission and omis sion to answer for, and I indulge tho hope that tho "State exebuuges" will, at an early day, discover that they would bo acting in go*. ? "taste" ana sound "discretion" to call it to account for ita misdoings and short comings before they undertake to nrraigu private citizens. I am, very truly, TnowraoK H. COOKE. Wo would Uko for tho Judgo to tell us what aro tho sins of omission and com mission of which tho Democratic party is guilty, and at tho same time to tell ua if any otuer party is likely to do any belter. Wo are nworo that tho Judge Is trying to dodge, but wo would Uko for him to be man enough bow to ?peak out his real sentiments. If tho Democratic party is bad, tell us wherein it ia ?o, and show us how it can bo bettered. Wo apprehend that tho worst feature about the party in Judgo Cooke's eyes is that it will nbt elect bim to office. A CA ill). To the Editor of the Intelligencer : Bm-Sinco I have been nominated for Congress by tho Convention of Anderson County, and my namo favorably men tioned in some of tho other conn tic:; com posing the Third District, I feel that it is duo to my friends that I should st alo that I cannot becomo a candidate for tho po sition, on account of business arrange ments that I have made, which will re quire mo to change my residence to Greenville, out of this Congressional Dis trict. I heartily thank my friends for their efforts in my behalf, and while I cannot serve them in this capacity, I can assure them that my efforts will always be for the maintenance and. supremacy of thb Democratic parly, which is to-day the bulwark of our liberty.

A reporter for the Newt ami Courter called <iporj Senator Butler with a copy of Col. Gash's letter as it appeared in tb? National Republican, and inquired if he had anything further to say about it. Tbe Senator bad not seen tbe note to the Postmaster at Washington, and when im had read it, smiled and remarked that ho had never objected to the publication of the letter ; on the contrary, was quito willing that it should be published. Col. Cash was entitled to have bis say. and now that he had delivered himself, bo hoped ho would be in a happier frame of mind. "But," said the Senator, "just bow it could injure tho Democratic party, I can not see, and therefore cannot un derstand why any paper should bsve re fused to publish the letter on thal account. If Col. Cash liuds tho Radical party more congenial-appearing from bis note to have fallon out with tho Democratic party-it is entirely proper for him to seek comfort in ita ranks. Such a con summation appears to bo in accordance with the 'eternal fitness of things." Reporter.-Have you anything to say, General, in reply to the charges whicli Col. Cash brings against you ? Gen. Butler.--No, except to say tbat they aro purely imoi'inary. Not a word of truth in any of .hem. Of courte, I do not say whether his chnfge, tbat I am a cows rd, is true or not. It is nover safe to pass judgment on any man's courage. I havo seen some people terribly disap pointed in that regard, and Col. Cash may lind it so in thia cous, Jut wo cannot always tell. Reporter.-Dave you over had any moneyed transactions with him? What does he mean by "the privilege of insert ing your bands in bis pockets," &c, dec. Gen. B.-Why, it means that tho roan is crazy or something worse. I never had a money transaction, or endeavored to have ono with him in my lifo, nor a.j,y other business transaction. So he bas drawn entirely on bis imagination for this statement. Nor did I over "piteous ly apply" to him about the "lottery," as ho calls it. My own and Gen. Gary's connection with that business has been explained again and again, and was about the samo as that of Gens. Beaure gard and Early with the Louisiana lot tery. Tbe (inference is, that theirs has been a success, ours was a stupendous failure. Our attempting such au enter prise, under tho circumstances, waa a piece of ineffable stupidity, but I bad no occasion to apply piteously to Col. Cash or anybody ohio about it, and, therefore, bis statement in regard to it is without foundation in fact. Lik- every man who makes ouch a mistake, I felt disgusted with myself about it, but I am not in thc habit of complaining of sympathy being withheld as Col. Cash does in my case. Rep.-He Bays that you had "recently been branded in public as a liar, and only sought redress by returning thc offensive epithet." Did such an occur rence over take place ? Gen. B.-Never. There is not a wore1 of truth in it. And I have only this tx say as to that. Ii Col. Cash will produce ono respectable or reputablo man whe will say that such a thing happened. If J do not prove that be Hes I will make tc him the most abject apology for auj grievance, uni or imaginary, that wai ever mid": to man. Anu if ne does no' do so. where will he be? Ob, no, I hav< no objection to the publication of tin letter. Very bard things have been saic nt?ut me before, and I have survivec them and trust I will survive this. Then are some things that -I might say abou the publication of my letter, but I sbal not do so now ; nor shall I indulge ii recriminations with Col. Cash, or throv mud at him, but leave him to his owi conscience, which I hope will cause )vn to feel ashamed of his letter. He v not in tho "fetters of tho law" when letter was written, to my knowledge, ani they do not appear to chafe much non I have nothing to retract of my letter but cannot see why Col. Cash shonld foe specially aggrieved, as no more mentioi Is made of bim than others connecte* with tbe duel, unless tbe "cap fits him betier than others, for which I am not t blame. I only expressed my opinio; about a publie transaction in which ; number of persons were engaged. Whj have I not tbe right to do thut? A Brutal Harder. Mr. D. M. Harrell, n quiet and ino! fcnslve citizen and merchant of Marion E C., was most brutally murdered on Mon day last about dark while on tho wa home from bis store. The weapon usec as lias been ascertained, was a heav sharp instrument, (either an axe or hatchet), with which tho top of Mr. Hm roll's head was completely split open, th brain being exposed, while anothc horribio gash waa made just below h: right eye.

GARFIELD'S GUSH. A Xltforcum Wave of tue Uloouy bb Crt Tho Now York Wemomlratloa a Failure. -JV-, KEW YORK, August 7. Tho welcome Garfield at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, last night waa a dismal failure as a political demonstration. Thero was somethimg of a crowd but very little enthusiasm. Garfield alluding to tho recent war said : "Boon after tho great struggle began wo looked behind thc army of white Rebels and saw 4,000,000 of black people condemned to toil us slaves for our eno inies, and we found that the hearts of these 4,000,000 were God-inspired with tlie spirit of liberty and that thoy were our .Wends. We have seen white men betray the flag and fight to kill the Un ion, but in ail that long dreary war we never saw a traitor in a black skin. Our prisoners escaping from the starvation of j prison, flying to our lines by tho light of ] the north star never feared to enter a blnck man's cabin and ask for bread. In nil that period of suffering and danger no Union soldier was over betrayed by a black man or woman, and now that we barre made them free, so long ns we live wo will stand by these black citizens. We will stand by thom until tho sun of Liberty fixed in tho firmament of the Constitution shall shine with equal rnyb upon every man, black or white through out the Union, for fellow citizens, sol diers, in this thero is all tho beneficence of eternal justice, and by this wc will stand forover. Tho great poet bas . lid that in individual lifo wo riso on the stepping-stones of our dead selves to higher things, and the Republic rises on the glorious achievements of its dead and living heroes to a higher and nobler na tional life. We must stand guard over our past as soldiers, patriots and over our country os thc common heritage of us all. Bets aro freely offering here of five to three against Garfield, with no takers.
