Blair, Hie Greenback can didato for Governor two years ago, wa? killed yesterday by a rille .-hoi by Mr. James Hale, in self-defence. Blair went with rille on Saturday to prevent Hale from organizing a Democratic Club, and was driven od' by Hale. He renewed tho difficulty Tuesday, and iva? killed. Tho Legislature adjourned a little after day-break this morning. K. B. M. DOUBLING TI?E BETBKSENTATIOS. The Democratic Convention railed to meet on the first Monday of August next for tue purpose of nomiualiug candidate?* for thc State offices, will be composed of delegate? from each County equal to twice the number of members allowed to each County in both branches of the General Assembly. This will give to Anderdon ten delegates, double the number to which tho County was heretofore entitled. We regard ibis action of the State Executive Committee in increasing thc repr?sentation of tbe Counties in the Convention as wise. It will temi to popularize ihc Convention, bring it nearer home tu the great body of tho people, aud give to its decisions an influence and authority which a smaller body could not do. We will soon enter upon the most important can vass for State and County officers and members to tho Legislature which has occuned Hinco tho war. lt will be to comparatively little purpose that we Hiicceeded in 1870 if wo lonou// in lb82. Our HUCCCHS depends upon our union, for if united ns in thc threo last campaigns, wc will bo successful. Nothing can de feat us but discord in tho parly. The efforts modo to produce discord have proved a miserable failure. Thc people cannot bc deceived ns to the true issues presented. They know tho questions at issue aro not, Sball wo have a Htock law or no stock law, registration or no regis tration, greenback or x\ national curren cy ? but that the one all-important ques tion upon which they munt pass is, sball tho virtuous, honest and upright peoplo of the State govern it, or shall it be governed by tho most ignorant and cor rupt, aud again become tho prey of thiovesnnd corrupt office-holders. Know ing this, and having for eight years felt tho insufferable evita of such a govern ment, no issues, not even greenbackism or independontism, cnn blind thom as to tho true issuer in the approaching elec tion. Wo have no doubt thnt this action of tho Kxccutivo Connnitteo in giving increased popular representation in the Convention will remove all discord, and unite and harmonize the party, and thereby insure a successful campaign. We print below the circular sent to 'ho several County chairmeti : ROOMS OE THE STATE DEMOCRATIC EXECUXl V i : CV) M M i T T EE, COLUMBIA, S. C., Juno 2d, 1882. Tho State Democratic Executive Com mittee having determined by resolution that thc Convention of tho Democratic party called to meet on tho first day of August next be composed of delegates from each County equal lo twice the number of members allowed to each County in both, branches of tho General Assembly, tho several County Chairmen of the State are hereby notified of the action of the committee, and ure request ed to tuke such steps as may be necessary to earrv tbe same into effect. JAMES V. 1ZI.AU, Chairman State Democratic Executive Commit (ce. J. P. THOMAS, JU., Secretary. EDITORIAL COBBESPONDENOtt. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 4,1882. ' The extra session of tho Legislaturo will close to-morrow in time for the mem bers from the various parts of thc Slate to return to their homes, either on regu lar or special trains, and there is general rejoicing at the prospect of getting home. Thc weather has boon excessively hot, and tho session uneventful, BO that ibero is very little here to interest tho legisla tive mind or induce it to tarry long, par ticularly as ninny of the members aro candidates for re-election, and tbe can vasses in the various Counties are pro gressing very actively, so that tho "other fellows" would have tho decided advan tage if tho incumbent statesmen wcro to romain away from homo for any great length of time. Tho whole businp-.a of the present session bas been transacted in caucus, and has been dispatched with unusual speed. No business was admitted at all, excopt matters of a political nature, aud a bill to extend the time for tho registra tion of physicians. Messrs. Murray and Rucker earnestly sought to sccuro tho passage of nn Act to validnte tho bonds subscribed by tho City of Anderson to tho Savannah Valley Railroad, but there were so many other locnl mattera pressed from other parts of the State that thc Legislature would not transcend tho rulo to let ary of them in. Thia session will pass eight Acts, as follows: 1. The Act to redistrict tho ..tale, which is based upon the plan originally conceived by Gen. Dibble, and amended by Col.

Thc political contest is more than cv ;i doubt, and it would roqniro a go< tophet to forecast what tho Au'gt bnvention will do.

Very little sympathy i- felt for him in any section of thc country, und Ouiteau will Hoon bc forgotten. The terrible consequences ol his toni deed remain lo nllliet the coun try. Iii- avowed purpose ill killing (?ar li' lil was lo thwart the will of thc ma jority of hi* ?ni ty, crush ibo liberal cle ment in it and re establish the stalwarts in power. In this he bas for thc present ? uccecded. Garfield's administration was the fairest and most conservative ono wc have had ?ince 18*50. It promised to give justice to all sections of the country and reunite Ibis great nation under com mon laws and a common Constitution. When Garfield ?lied the nation mourned; there was no South, no North, no Hast, no Wed, but one people weeping over tho bier of their dead President. His administration evinced patriotism and statesmanship, ignoring sectional ani mosities, and all scellons were looking to his administration to re establish concord to a country distracted by partisan and sectional administration of thc govern ment. Umlcr these circumstances the country looked with deep interest to the incoming administration and yet with many misgivings. Arthur's administra tion, thus far, has been weak, partisan and sectional, disappointing thc expec tations of all except the stalwart element of his own party. Guiteau's crime was directed against his country, and that country approves the sentence which doomed bim to an ignominious death and consigns his name to an ignominy BUrpussed only by the atrocity of his crime.

At 0.30, when tho cook took bis break fast into tho cell, (?uiteutl told him to bring Ids ? ?inner in at ll o'clock promptly. Kev. Dr. Hicks, who remained at tin jail all night, was called into tho prison er's coll noon aller he rosa and bold rt conversation on religious subjocls with bim. Al H o'clock Dr. Hicks saw the prisoner again, when hu ninda n request to bavo a bath and asked tho reverend gentleman to go out and seo the Bcatlbld.

He nlso ex pressed anxiety lest sumo accident should occur, and insisted that Dr. Hicks should BOC that the acafTold and Its appurtenan ces were all in proper and sat" condition. After i i uiteau had disposed of these mailors ho read a poem composed by himself, which ho culls "Simplicity, or Religious linby Talk."

"I don't think," ho said, "I cnn un through Ibis ordeal without weeping; not because of any groat w oak tl csa, for principle in tho ls strong-but because I um neuror tho other world. I hold to tho idea that God inspired mo." Ouiteau subsequently asked that in bis books nil complimentary remarks about President Arthur and Ills administration be eliminated. Then ho presented to Dr. Hicks tim booka that havo been tho com panions of his lonely hours. Do told Dr. Hicks that ho wanted him to offor tho ilrst prayer on tho scaltbld, saving tiiat bo (Ouiteau) would then read his favorite Scripture passage (tho loth chap ter of John) and oller a prayer on bis nvn account.

At thia hour no ono avo tho "death watch" was wktn him. lo nervously disrobed nnd plunged into be bath. It waa quito apparent to tho runrd, who was closely watching bis ?very movement, that ids object in ask ng for a bath was simply to obtain somo imploymont which might distract his hougnlH from (he dread contemplation >f his approaching death.

There was a slight delay, while the crowd of two hundred and fifty or inore spec tators were pushing and jostling through the door leading from the rotunda to the corridor, at the lower omi of which tho gallows was placed, (iuitcau meanwhile gazed upon tho crowd, looked up at thc beam over his head, and quickly made a survey of all thc dread paraphernalia.

Ti ere was decided action of ihe heart for fully fourteen illimit?s and tho pulse fluttered two minutes longer. When the body had bun? with thu feet just touching thc door for ovor half au hour il was lower. I into tho collin which was w diing for it under tho scaH'old. The physicians decided ut once that tho neck had been broken when tho body Was lowered. The black cap was removed and the face exposed. The features were pallid anil composed. About the mouth '!'oro was considerable moist uro. Atter thc body bad been arranged in the collin Warden ('rocker ascended the steps <>f Ike seafield, and, addressing ibo crowd, which was kept back from tho scall'old by tho lino ol' ollieors, said that IIIOHO wini desired could pass alongside of the scaffold and view tho body. Tho crowd of spectators was formed into a linc, ami, passing between the scall'old and tho wall of thc jail, viewed tho dead face. Some of tho jail o dicer*, throe or four physicians and Dr. Hicks stood about Hie collin. John W, Ouiteau joined this company and fannell his dead brother's lace to keep away tho Hies. John (iuiteau did lint go up?u the scaliold, but stoo 1 during Ibo scene just within tho line cf ollieors at tin1 bottom of thoStops. When liberty was given to the crowd to view the romains the scall'old was at oiu'O lilied with people, who curiously examined every joint and bolt. At 1.40 p. in. tho lid of the coffin was pul in placo and tho body was borne lu tho jail chapel, whero tho physicians who wore to make the autopsy "were assem bled. (iuiteau just before tho trap was sprung dropped a pieco of paper from his band. This paper was given bim by Warden ('rocker to be dropprd by thc condemned man as a signal thal ho was ready. John W. (iuiteau said to a reporter just after thc execution that ho was glad it was over. "What will bo dono with Hie remains?" asked the reporter. "We will bury him hero in tho jail, whore ho will bo sale," said (iuiteau. "lie will not bo taken out of the jail." Tho spot indicated by tho Warden as (iuiteau'a burial place is in thc sanio court as tho gallows anti a few yards from it. (iuiteau when ho came out into the ro tunda from his cell looked calm and col lected, but was very pale. His arms wore pinioned belli ld him and he bud hi* hoad erect. He gazed on the crow d with out flinching, ile woro a blacic suit ol' clothca, and. instead of a collar, a hand kerchief thrown loosely about his neck. Those who expected "sickening" and distressing scones were disappointed. Ouiteau walked firmly through thc ro tunda. He .stumbled uti one of the .stops loading up to tho scaffold, but recovered himself immediately. Whon ho began to read bis voice was" loud and firm. Ho gave the words now and then a sort of singing iuOectioii like a preacher roading a hymn. Mrs. Scoville was awaiting outside thu jail until after tho execution took place. Who decided not to view tho remains this afternoon, and about 2 o'clock returned to tho city. (.'liarles H. Heed, G'.iitoau's counsel, did hot witness tho execution. Ho said lie could not stai.o it and intended to leave the city. It is not known whether Scoville is in town or not. John (iuiteau says that ho has not soon bim, and bo does not believe he is in town. John (iuiteau appeared to bo In a very serene frame of mind after the execution. "I believe ho was insane," said John Guitenu. "I predicted just what would happen-that he would go bravely to tho gallows. The trial was a farce, and to day an insano man was executed. Whether ho is insano bo loro God, I do not know ; still I believe if bo was to be tried again ho would not bo convicted, lt was not agues', ton for a jury" At half-past tw o o'clock Dr/F. H. l.or ing concluded his examination of tho eyes of the dead mau. Both eyes w oro no indistinct that no opinion could be formed of their condition or expression. The physicians who performed the au topsy- were Dis. D. C. Lamb, J. F. Harti gan anil Z. T. Savers. In addition to (base physicians there wero present Dru, Noble Young, Robert llcvburn, A. F.

Gui'aiau and Dr. Hicks wert piejont for a short limo but loft the jail bolero the conclusion. Acloso examination of the body showed Lhat G?itoau'a nock was broken"and that ibo ropo bad cut doop Into tho flesh of bit nock. Thoro was a disposition on thc part of some of those present to got me mentoes of Clio ocousion nt any cost. Thc ?uil ollieors took tho ropo from tho gallo Wi md secrotcd it ns soon as the nooso wai reiuovsd from tho dead man's neck. Dr. Hicks said when a?ked about tin burial that ho did not want to say when tho body would ho Interred. The funeral mell as it will bo, will tako placo to morrow and will boas privato as possi Ido. At a quarter-past 3 o'clock tho military guard that has bron on duty at tho jail ?vcr sinco tho 2d of July last marobee iway. They were loudlv cheered as the, loft.

The physicians woro disinclined to g. into a detailed statement as to the result Dr. Hartigan left tho jail soon alto fonr o'clock, taking with him G ti lt eau' brain.
