There will he a meeting of the Demo cratic Executive Committee of Anderson County in the ?NTKI.MOENCER O?fice on Wednesday next, the 19th inst., at II o'clock a. m., for thc transaction of im portant business. A full meeting of the Committee is desired. li. 1>. MURKAY, County Chairman. THU .VITKOACIIINU CONVENTION. The approach of thc timo f-r holding thc County Convention ?d' thc Demo cratic party, which convenes on Friday, tho 28th inst., has caused tho relative merits and demerits of the various plans tor nominating candidates to bc again freely discussed. There i* no question that thc primary election system will be adhered (o in tho coming campaign in this county, and therefore tho public iu tercst has centered in thu consideration of thc plurality and thc majority plan of election. The plurality plan existed in this county in tho primaries of 1870 and 1S78, and under it tim men having the highest number of votes for thc various offices were declared nominated ; HO that if thrco men Wu'e running for Clerk of the Court, foi instance, and there were thrco thousand votes polled, of which A received twelvo bundled, B eleven hun dred and O seven hundred, A, whose vole was greater than either B's or C's vote separately, but not equal to their joint vote, which was eighteen hundred, was duly declared nominated, In 1880 thc County Convention, by a very close vote, thc ninjority only being about 2-3 ol one vote, decided to change this rule and require a majority of all tho votes cast, so that in tho election above in stanced for Clerk of the Court at thc conclusion of the first race, which stood A twelve hundred, Il eleven hundred, and C seven hundred, there would have been no choice, for to nomi nato by the majority rule tho candidate would be re quired to get a majority of all the votes cast, or out of tho poll of tbreo thousand votes he would be required to receive at least fifteen hundred and ono votes, so that a new election would bo necessary botwoen A and II, the two candidates re ceiving the highest number of votes for thc oflico. The Executive Committee requested the various club;-, of the county to cxprcHs their preference between tho majority and tho plurality rule, and to instruct their delegates accordingly. This action of tho Committeo was wisc and discreet, for it takes tho settlement of tho disputo away from the few, and gives it directly lo tho people. If tho majority want the plurality they will havo it, or if they want tho majority, they will have it. Every Democrat, thoroforo, who desires to have a voico in tho determination of this question, can do so by attending his club meeting and voting as ho prefers. There will ho no room to cavil or find fault With tho re sult, for it will represent tho will of a majority of tho Democrats who feel enough interest in it to go out and vote. Besides settling this question thc club nioeting?'. held on tho 22nd will elect del egates to tho County Convention, and also a member of the County Executive Committee. It is of great importance that these club meetings should be well attended, in order to make tho action taken by them aa near tho voico of tho wholo peoplo as possible, *o that thero may be no ground for any complaint at tho actiou which may bo tokeu. We hope that every Democrat in tho county who cnn possibly do so will niako it a point to be present nt his club meoting on thc appointed day. BOOM FOR URFORM. The National House of Representa tives needs reformation of manners very badly. Tho h~at of tho summer, super added to the uneasiness of tho Republi cans, makes them uso language in open session which is a disgrace to tho body of which they aro members .".nd to tho country they represent. A few days ago wo read of Messrs. K??ly and White calling ono another Har and acoundrcl, and this was followed by a moro dis graceful sceno with Robeson, which in turn has been eclipse! by Butterworth, of Ohio, whoso language in a recent de bate on the Civil Appropriation Billwas BO obscene and vulgar that a member asked the Chair to havo tho ladies re moved from the gallery, and the remarks were finally ordered to bo omitted from tho Congrtss?Q.\al Record. This sort of thing is disgracrful to our whole country. When tho debates in Congress nssumo such ahupo thal ladies cannot with safety listen to them and they aro too bad to bo iiubashed in the Record, it is time for the country to reflect and remedy tho evil by defeating every member who is too much of a blackguard to conduct him self like a gentleman. A continuance of the Congressional performances of the past month would' certainly bring down upon us tho contempt and disgust of tho mord, intelligent and civilized govern ments of 'the world. No man is fit for a Congressman who can he led into inde cent vulgarities or into the UBO of tho bully's language just because he gets ex cited in a debate ; and tho peoplo owe it to themselves, irrespective or party, to defeat every man for a re-election who ha? been guilty of auch unseemly con duct. Once let it be known that men who do not deport themselves as gentle men cannot be re-elected, and the erad ication of this evil will be accomplished.' From that time forward there will bc no further occasion for shame on the part ot constituents at tho demeanor of their Representatives, and the former dignity and universal respect will again bo re stored to our Congressional assembly. This ia a higher question than mere party ascendancy. It involves tho moral sentiments of tho country, and the' people cannot be too vigilant in requiring their Representatives to demean themselves respectably. Their COUMO ii sure to bavo Hi influence upon tho general character nod mungeri of the people, and no mao ia worthy to representan intelligent, re fined constituency who ?ts himself u black guard. All such men ought to ho left out of OngroBs. TUE SOITM CAK?KJNA UNlYKRftJ I T. It is stated in tho Columbia correspon dence ( r the .Vt itv ??</ Courier that Pres ident Wm. I'orciior Miles will resign his punt in the South Carolina L'nircrsity in consequence of large business interests, which will require his absence from thc .State. The resignation will be handed to the Trustees at their meeting on thc Oth of Augii-t, to lake effect on thc 1st of October. Speaking of thc suecos-?on, the samo correspondent nays : Col. Hughs. Thompson, tim State Su perintendent of Education, will in all probability be his successor. I lo not know Col. Thompson's position in Ibu mutter, I..it I am satiation, from conver sations I have bail with n number of prominent gentlemen, bis election would give general satisfaction Mis high idiar ueter, bia accomplished scholarship, bis lint; executive abilities and ins u< kt owl edged popularity throughout tin- ?lille eminently qualify him foi the duties of this responsible office, ai d would largely eoiitributo to tho sue.H >.( tho institu tion. Thoroughly impiuintod with the (durational nc? cs-dt ic-, of thu State, < n joying tho conlidonco and respect pf all Ids fellow-citizens, and trained in the ntl ministration ol' important publie trusts, he is undoubtedly tin- man ..!' al! other men in the State fur President of t ho Uni versity, in saying this niucb 1 tool that I am only echoing tho sentiments of the pooplo wiio w ill patronize thc iustituti ni and ul those who arc eharged willi its con! roi. A NEtV SVOCiESTION. Tho Newt and Courirr suggests ?.inv ern?! Hampton for the position of Presi dent of tho South Carolina University, which is soon to become vacant by thc resignation of Hon. Wm. Porcher Miles. It says : Them hun been sollie talk of placing f?en. Hampton at the hoad <>f thu nth Carolina Co I logo, if lie persist in tho de termination to retiro from political life. So widely is ho known, mid so greal is Ins Intluoiico that ho might accomplish at < 'olumbin what (lon, Lee accomplished at Lexington. With Wado Hampton as the President, Ibo South Carolina College would toko a front place in tb?1 estimation of those wiio appreciate the value of high personal influence upon students, at Col lege, at Ibo ago when hero-worship can bo made to produce the best results. Governor Hampton has had no ex perience in the arl of instruction, but as suggested by our contemporary his usmc and influence would bc vcr, valuable to the University. We had been lcd to hope Congress would adjourn on tho 17th inst., but later reports fix the probable end of the pres ent session for the 1st of August. Thc consideration of lin. necessary appropria tion bills has been unusually protracted by personal wrangles and uncalled for issues, so that adjournment is by no uieiius easy to lix at this limo. With the ?nulo tlehiy in tho remainder of thc ses sion, we will not sec the end ol Congress before the 1st of September. It is, how ever, to be hoped that the members will frown down by stern disapproval, and, il* necessary, censuro any ?neb unseemly nnd unnecessary hindcrances as have distinguished thc legislation of the past mouth in Congress. The adjournment of this boily would be very acceptable to the people of thc United States, for there lins never been a mere recklessly partisan Congress assembled than tho one now in HOssiou. It is thoroughly Republican in all of its actions and purposes, but worst of nil it is controlled by the lesser in stead of the greater lights of thc party. Taken all togetbor, the country will be benefited when it sec!? thc last of tho present session. Tho Gladstone Administration met with a surprising defeat on the Irish Re pression Hill in Parliament lust week. The government, backed by the Conserv atives, agreed to amend tho bill ns a con cession to Ireland so ns to restriettbo right of search to thc day time, and in this concession they were opposed by the Whigs and Liberals. When the vote was about to be taken, Mr. Gladstone, perceiving tho probability of defeat, in timated that he would resign as Premier if his amendments wore rejected, and seeing that this was not going to savo them from defeat, tho Conservatives im plored tho Irish members to save them from defent. Tho Irish members, how ever, remembered tho recent treatment they had received from thc Gladstone parly, and refused to vote, no that the amendment was lost. Mr. Gladstone, however, reconsidered his resignation in timation and still bolds on, sn that thc only effect of this little episode was lo make tho course of tho government on thc Repression Bill ridiculous. The organization of a new Democratic Club in Anderson is, in our opinion, most unfortunate. Wo cannot see any sufficient reason for thc existence of a new Club, as tho work of the campaign can bo best subserved by a large Club working together, rather than by two Clubs working separaloly. As far os wo can uncertain there is really no difference as to measures betweeu the two, and wo did not know thcro waa any lack of har mony as to men until thc organization of tho new Club waa inaugurated. We hopo the evil cons?quences of a division which wo fear may not occur. If mode ration, prudence and tho mica of the Democratic party are adhered to through out, tho two Clubs may work in harmo ny, and do efficient sorvico for the party in tho coming State, County nnd mu nicipal campaigns. Tho Registration and Election la'v baa worked ao admirably in vr. doua parts of tho State, that tho gentlemen who op posed it last January in the Legislature, at the recent session expressed themselves aa delighted with its op?rations. Noone introduced a bill to repeal it or to mate rially modify it, and if such a hill had been introduced, it would have been de feated by tho vote of a majority of tho very men who opposed it last winter. Tho law ia becomtng more popular, aa ita benefits aro manifesting themselves. Political ROTT. RAMUOH, ?T. C., July 8.-Thoro la great excitement at Ktatcsvillo, N. C.

Tho following account of tho culmination of hostilities is gathered from telegrams of July tlth from London and .Alexandria: Thc naval officers havo made a recoil nuisance and re|Hirted (lint they Haw the Egyptians landing heavy gunn on tho western sido nf the entronco lo tho liar bur. Admiral Seymour is consequently preparing a proclamation to bc placarded all o\ or tlio city charging the authorities with a broach of faith, demanding ti sur ren tier ol' the fortifications within twelve hours, anil warning the authorities that if they lui 1 lo comply with this demand, I'm: will be oponen upon Hie forts utter lim ex pi iii timi ?d a fun her period of twenty-four hom lo the evening on Sunday, from a ste;.mer lying iii tho inner harbor, soi ilior.s were distineth MSUII digging tren i-ho? und carrying shot ?rom ono fort to [..Hollier.

At midnight all tiie mcmhors ol'the [toiMi'lates were aboard of tho vessels in tl:? harbor Tin English consul has son! word lo tho other Consuls advising them Lo notify their countrymen to quit Alex andria witliin '?\ hours. A dispatch from Alexandria si ys that at a couforoneo of Kgyiitiuii util icrk held on Sunday an ngeu colonel declared thal "if tho Turka laud wo will treat them ?t-> brothers. Wc won't resist the Austrians or Italians, but thu soldiers of tho other nations, especially England, we will upposu to the last mau." Tho North fivrmilll an ette of norlin reports that alter tlio ro mnining Englishmen had been warned to leave Cairo, tho Ucrman consul issued a similar warning to tho 100 Gormans still there. The Time* in a leading ar tieieon Monday morning says.- Admi ral Soy mou r will in the mornfiig demand the temporary surrender of the forts at examina for (ho put poso of disarma ment under threat ol' bombardment iu twenty-four hours. A dispatch Iroiu Alexandria to tho Daily Telearujiti says Hitit Ibo A mer lean admirai, Nicholson, warned the Arabs working on the forts that il' Uley liri at him he will return tho tire. A dispatch to the t'entrai AVu*?, from Constantinople, slates that the Turkish Admlrality luis warned tho crews of tho Turkish ironclads to bo in readiness. Tho telegraph is now working from u ship moored some miles from Alexan dria, communication with tho Forte ho ing maintained by dispatch boats. Pri vate telegrams confirm tho News? notice that tho bombardment Will begin at .! o'clock this morning. In tho House of Lords this afternoon Lord Granvillo, Foreign Secretary, confirmed tho nows that unless tho Alexandria forts wer?! temporarily surrendered, Admiral Sey mour would bombard them at daybreak to-morrow, lt was painful to have to bo obliged to uso force against a weak power, but hostile preparations had boen pro Coodlllg in dclianco of tho orders both of the Khedive and tho Sultan. Tho action now taken wits ttl simple self-defense. In tho 1 louse of ( lom mons Sir < 'liarles Dilko made a similar statement. Il was loudly cheered. Tho British ediips aro cleared tor action. Thu Thetis, tho Monarch and tho Invincible are lying in the harbor. The rest ol'the ships are outside. The foreign Consuls, excepting tho British, protested against the bombardment. All tho loreign men-of-war, with tlio excep tion of toe English, are lying outside tho harbor. The French squadron sailed at sunset, leaving behind only tho Alma nuil tho Iiirondelle. It is feared in gov ernment circles In Venice that tho events ut Alexandria may anticipate ultimate in tervention by tho Sultan and provoke a iron ll let. Tho first shot fired will make il necessary to consider the question of tho further maintenance ol'thu European concert. AI.KXANIHUA, July ll, 7 n. m.-Thc bombardment has commenced. Aa tho British vessels drew up in line, lu tho irrey dawn, officers and mon wen.- all at tho post of duty. After some prelimi nary toovenients, a broadside was opened apon the forts. As thu fust boom fell upon tho morning air, tho red glare and the rising smoko announced tho conflict between Ilrlton and t upi, Arab and other Egyptian mongrols, The night in Alex andria was ono long to bo remembered.

Blair went tn a meeting of the [ioulab Democratic Club, (of which lie ?vas onco a member and from which hu iVithdrew lu 1880,) armed with a Win diestor rillo. In onler to avoid any argument or un ?duusantnuss, Mr. Haile, who was called to tho chair, caused tho poisons who de drcd to enroll themselves as members of ho club to como apart from the general irowd, among which Col, Blair was ono, is all partios agree, for tho purposo of preserving the unanimity of tho meeting; md did by that means succeed in organ zing tho club peacefully and quietly. I have boen informod* to-day that Col. Blair knowing that ur.
