Wo regret to announce im much n* our readeni will regret to hear that (ten. Capera has at last felt constrained to resign the nomination for Superinten dent o? Kdiicatioii ou Un: Democratic ticket. He states that after a lull and thorough examination of the duties of die o ilice lie finds that he will bo com pelled cither to decline this nomination or resign his rectorship at Greenville, as tho duties of tho two positions arc too much for one man properly to discharge. We appicciate (?eii. Capera' position, and viewing tho matter from hi* stand point wo can hut commend Iiis frankness and conscientious adherence to duty in declining, though wo, in common with the people of the Stale, had hoped ho could see his way clear to roach a differ ent conclusion. This declension renders it necessary for the State Executive Com mittee to (ill the punition of Superinten dent ?.?.. the Stale ticket?a most delicate and important task?which we hope will bo fearlessly unii efficiently performed by tho selection of Ilio host man possible for this important office. WATCH TilK IMIOVBKUINGH. Tho Republican* .nru4to meet in Con vention on the twelfth of September in tho city of Columbia for the purpose of determining their policy in the approach ing canvass. It is likely they will ad* juurn without making a nomination for Stato officers, but with a private under standing that they will support the (Jreenback State ticket. This will he ?quivalent to nominating (ho same ticket, for it is well kuoiVll that tho negro vote can bo thrown in forty-eight hours wherever the parly leaders desiro it to go. It is likely that tho Republicans will run caudidutcs for Congress wherever there is any chance either of electing their men or of unseating the Demo cratic Congressman after ho is elected, and they may insist on the nomination of a Grconba'-.k ticket of such character as to guaraiKco a carrying out of the evident purposes of the alliance which exists between tbeso t?v> parties. in fact the arrangement of the Conventions indicate this. The Greeubackcrs aro made to go first, and if their action suits the Republican* it will ho tacitly en dorsed, so as to do the new bantling as much service as possible ; hut. if it docs noi Htand up to its side of tho mischiev ous alitar > that exists between them, then tho Republicans* will nominate a lull ticket, and thereby effectually cut olf tho Greenback baby's head. Thus it will be seen that tho Republicans themselves recognize the GreenbackerH as a party without principle, and though tho Republicans are willing to trade with them for their mutual political ndvnn tago, yet they always lake speciul care to make the Greenback parly pay their money before they got the goods. All that we have to say iu demonstration of our allegation that the Grecubackera aud the Republicans are in alliance. Js to bid our readers, if they doubt it, to watch closely the proceedings of tho approach ing Greenback and Republican Conven tions. The proposition will then be demonstrated beyond a doubt. Tili: TICKET THAT WILL UE 1 E . The Greeubackcrs will hold their Slate Convention in Columbia on next Tues day, the oth of Septembor. wheu they propose to nominato a State ticket, which Mr. Russell promises shall ho elected by sixty thousand majority. We give Mr. Russell credit for a little perception, and therefore do him the justice to suggest that he possibly meant to say that tbo Greenback ticket shall not be elected by sixty thousand majority?a statement iu which every one posted in South Carolina affairs would agree with him, as it is evident this mongrel crew caunoi be elected at all. There is, however, no doubt that they will nominate a ticket, and that they will canvass the Slate. Who they will place on their ticket is not yet known, for they have no man in* th?u party of sufficient prominence in the State to give them any standing as a candidate for Governor, and very few, if any that are suitable for the other posi tions. They will probably bid for the Republican vote by nominating Judge Mackey, ano' ono or two moderato Re publicans, upon their ticket, and will _.. !? !*?? <->>""?-'~ ?. esndlflstr fnr Congress lu tue Democratic districts, leaving the Republicana the seventh, sixth and second districts, which are considered by them either doubtful or Republican. They are in alliance with the Republicans and cannot antagonize that party. They will nominate a ticket satisfactory to the Republicans, and will pursue euch a course as to damage the Democracy all that ie possible. Fortu nately they are impotent to do us barm, if we remain true to ourselves and keep alive the fires of Anglo-Saxon civiliza tion, and the patriotic desire for good government. The Greenback party is composed of a set of political adventu rers. They could not hold tho State if thoy could succeed in electing their ticket, for two years hence the Republi cans would run their own ticket and elect iL This, however, makes no differ ence to them. They have not looked that far ahead. They aro very hungry for office now, and to get in for two years they are perfectly willing to play the part of political Judas Iscariota two years hence. . \ ko : * muti :<?n ii.mi, Jay iliibbell, the chairman of ilio Re publican Coiigressioual Committee, bas gone at the assessing of federal officers in the most practical manner imagina ble. He sends out his circulars asking for voluntary contributions from these olhcials of an amount not le?* than two per cent, of their salaries, and ut regular intervals follows these with tracers call ing upon the delinipieitts to pay up. The ofhcc-holders are assured in the pub lie prints that they may contrihute <>r ! not its they please iu other word-, that j the contributions an- t-? be voluntary out it is well understood that those who do nut pay up will be removed (rom | office. <M course lhe-e removals will not follow the refusal to contribute in a lay or a week, "r perhaps a month, but one by one the clerks and other govern ment official* who do not contribute will, on (ir.-l one pretext and then another, be displaced. No head of any of the ?1?; partiuents will say that he removes a ubordiuale for not contributing, but 'he political guillotine will fall, lieverlhe 'ess, and it will invariably decapitate he official head <>f the fellow who has refused to contribute io the Republican campaign fund. Under the pressure of this knowledge the officials tire respond ing more generally than was over known before, and the Republic;;;; ?;;;rtv will have the largest fund over raised in this country by political assessment*. It is expected by ibis means to raise over one milli?it of dol?ais with which to corrupt the elections for members of Congress this year in the enterest of the Republi can party, which professes to be the champion of civil service reform, and the parly of grci moral ideas. Tho people of the I 'niled ;l ttes should rclh e! most serioti-ly abo .1 this disreputable moans of securing political campaign funds. It is equivalent to taking two jut cent, of the laxes collected Iront the peoplo, and reducing salaries to that extent iu order to perpetuate the rule of the parly in power, lather salaries are too high, or this virtually enforced reduction is noth ing more nor less than political robbery. The highwayman says to bis victim, "de liver your money or I will lake your life," :> >:! so tluve political conspirators say to tho government officials "pay your assessment, or I will lake oil'your official head." The practice is a corrupt and vicious mio that calls for unqualified condemnation. The raising of such largo -.urns for campaign purposes gives a eoi rupi ion fumi to the party in power which i- dangerous to Ilio best interests of the country. No government can ro main pino in which elections are con trolled by money systematically gathered from the. tuxes paid by the peuple, and expended by machine politicians. The llubbcll business has brought forth the lev?rent criticism from Ilio independent press, and bids fair to be very largely discussed in tho approaching campaign. I-Vini presi tit appearances we are in clined lo believe that the indignation of the people at no systematic an effort to corrupt our elections will sweep the Re publican parly from the conimi of the House of Representatives this Fall. Money :.;!. cd by this course will he inoro injurious than beneficial to the Republi can party, unless our people have lost a 4 rea I deal of their integrity and citizen manhood. liKOIMilA'J NEXT SIIMTIllt. The successor to be elected in the place of the into Senator Hill Iront Georgia is being canvassed very actively in that .State, and so far, from the niuubi r of names suggested, only three have de veloped any strength. Mr. Stephens, the nominee for Governor, coititi easily secure the prizo il be no desired, but being tired of public life he took the Gover norship as a means of graceful retire ment, und docs not wish to ugniti enter either branch of Congiess. He says that if the peoplo of Georgia elect him Governor ho will understand that they desire him to serve his time out in that office, and will accordingly do so. Gov ernor Colquit is also promiucily men tioned for tho place, and it is understood that he will be a candidate for the posi tion before the Legislature. Ho ia a very strong man iu Georgia, and will mako it interesting for whoever may oppose him. The third man actively proposed is ex-Senator John Ii. Gordon. In speaking of this nice, the Washington Star says : Tho man most talked of In Oc-orgia for Mr. ? successor Ss ex-Henator John It. (lordon. Since ho voluntarily retired from tho Sonato, Clon, (lordon' has ac complished tho purpose ho hud in ro sigtilng. He has realized a competency from fortunato railroad and mining transactions, and it is thought ho is will ing to return to public life. It is said that tho sentiment in Georgia ?m ho favor able to him tint his consent is all that is mu-ossary to givo li?tn Uto position. This puts General Gordon's prospects very brightly, and will be moro than gratifying to his many friends in South Carolina. He mr.de a most useful Sen ator, ami Georgia could not return a man iu tho placo of tho late distiuguis' Senator llill who would give more tation to the Slato or better service to the country than Johu 13. Gordon. Speaking of the consolidation of tho Atlanta- and Kreuch Broad Valley ltall road with tho ICdgeliold, Trenton aud Alkon Railroad, tho Kdgel'inhl Atlvcr liter myn that ilovornor Hagood will probably bo elected to tho presidency of tho consolidated eompanios, tout ho was elected director "with tho understanding that bo should bo subsequently invited to become president," and that "Unco tbc meeting at Rnltnn ho has been ap proached on this subject, und has intima ted bis willingness to accept tho post?of course- not until tho expiration of bis Gubernatorial torm." Gov. Hagood would no doubt make a good railroad president, but for practical judgment and business activity tho new company could not have made a more fortunato selection than by taking Col. Bowen, whose familiarity with tho coun try through which the road is to run, and the character and qualities of the bands likely to be engaged upon the work, will give him very great advan tages. The Colonel is one of the most energetic 'and persistent men in the State. All of the elements of success are comprised in the qualifications ho possesses. ?Tho acquittai of Garland, the Virginia duellist, is not surprising under the oir onmstanoes, as the deoeasod man seems to have been aa much to blame as his slayer.

He wanted to know what tho par ty would gain by an alliance while tho present doctoral machinery existed. The Democrats had devised means to defraud Hticeu.ssfully. Tho party might do some thing with tho Congressmen, but ho thought the Stato and County hopehvss. Frank Williamson thought there wasa great deal to ho gal nod. Many Dem? crata would not vote tho Greenback ticket because they wero threatened with a at might Republican ticket, which would win at tho bust moment by tho ili vision of tho whltos. He wanted t? help tho CSreon backora win. if tho Uourhons wero beat once they wero boat for?sver, for tho electoral lawn could bo repealed. Among tho ??roonbaek lenders there were red shirt Democrats of 1S7?. Wilson Cook thought tho true Repub lican policy was to lio quiet and bold Mio balance of power in thu light that would come nmong thu whites.
