County Executive committee. Th ere will be a meeting of the Execu? tive Committee of the Democratic party of Anderson County in the Court House in Anderson, on Saturday the 23rd inat., at U o'clock a. nv, for the purpose of tabulating and publishing tbe result of the primary election. A full and prompt attendance is desirable. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. There has been some enquiry as to the manner of appointing the managers of the primary election. By referring to the rules for governing the primary elec? tion it will be seen that the Executive Committee of each Club appoints the managers for the election in such Club. Our people had better look after live questions in electing their Representa? tive. It is' always' easier to criticise.what others have done than to originate new measures, and yet the Legislator who can only find fault without proposing any* thing new for the relief of the people is a tremendous failure. This is pre-emi? nently true at this time. Our State debt soon matures. We are now paying an interest of six per cent upon our debt ' which [requires $468,000 per y ear. This debt should add can be refunded on long time at 3 J per cent., which would save at least $200,000 per annum ' and give to our. people a.reduction of at least one and a half mills taxes. Our assessment laws should be simplified and improved. Our road system.should be remodeled. Our County prisoners under sentence for crime, should be put to work upon roads and streets. Our penitentiary convicts should be employed to develops the ma? terial resources of the State, instead of competing with honest labor to enrich a few private persons. These and kin? dred subjects are the ones our people bad better get the views of candidates for the Legislature upon. It is not profitable to discuss issues which are irrevocably settled. ^ . THE BOCK JdZLES QUESTIONS. Dr. Cook's article upon the University and the Canal, replying to the Intelli? gencer,,'presents, no arguments, which have not already been presented with at least as much force by the Greenville News and other. papers which oppose these institutions.. There is a great deal of assertion- about his article, and very little argument. ' He begins with assum? ing that the appropriation is contrary to principle, but fails to show us how it is . so. This State has had a Col lege or Univer? sity ever since 1805. Li it contrary to principle for us to keep up what has been handed down to us by the greatest men the State has ever produced ? Not only this, but every other State in this Union, has its University, except, we believe, the State of Florida. Is it con? trary to.principle for South.Carolina- to keep her head up with the other States of the American Union. We think the principle of a State University is well established in South Carolina, and in all the. other States, except Florida, whose climate is not favorable, and whose material progress has but recently begun. To close the University on the plea of the poverty of the State would damage South Carolina more than our friends imagine. It would proclaim to the world a stagnation here that would be ruinous. The University is a part of the education? al system of the State, and is open for all who wish to avail themselves of it. The fact that all men cannot send their sons to it does not render it the property of any special class. All men cannot avail themselves of the common schools, but it would not do on that account to close the schools. The9 University is as much the property of the Slate as the common schools, and every boy, from the humblest to the highest, is alike entitled to participate in its benefits. It is more to tbe advantage of boys of moderate or limited means than those who are weal? thy. The wealthy man can send his sons to any College in the world that he may chose, but there are many boys who will, get fine educations at the South Carolina University, at an expense of two or three hundred dollars per year, whor.cojild not afford to pay five or six hundred dollars at the University of Virginia, or some other first class insti? tution. This is a great stimulus to the poor- boys of the State. There are hun? dreds of them who will work their way through this University, and prove themselves the peers of any men, who would not feel able to work through one of the expensive institutions outside of <?t|3^3jtate. One of the reasons we favor this University is, that it tends to bring higher education within tbe reach of all classes of our citizens. We do not want to see a state of things in South Carolina which will enable tbe rich man's sous to graduate at some University, but stop the poor boy when he leaves the com? mon school. We do not expect every boy to be a University graduate, but we do expect this very University of the I State to break down, in a large measure, j the advantages which one class of citi I zena would have over another.* Tbe I poorest people, and men of limited I means, are not the ones to complain of j the University* It is destined to dignify land elevate their station in life, fcr it I will frequently send out bright men with I trained minds from these classes who I will fcompete successfully with the sons I of rich men in all the walks of life. It j may not satisfy Dr. Cook for us to say j that the University is here to stay, but I be will live long enough, we hope, to see I that the assertion is true. Anderson I may waste her strength in fighting it if j she choses, but it is a lost battle before it j is begun. There will be a crushing j majority in favor of the University, and I it will have the life, and progress, and j intelligence of the State as its supporters. I Therefore, we repeat that the men who j now set themselves up to fight the Uni I versity will lose all chance of establishing I an influence ic tbe Legislature, for he I will be looked upon as lacking in pro j gress, if not as a demagogue. The Uni I versity ? here to stay, and it will be a waste J of influence, of breath, of time and of I money for any man to attempt to close it. j Dr. Cook may be willing to stake every? thing on this'fight, but tee people of I Anderson want live, progressive and in I fluectial men in the Legislature to grap I pie with real issues and questions of momentous consequence to tbe State I which will, from time to time, arise. It I will be worse thao folly to leave out any j good man because he may be in favor of j the University?such folly as the people j of Anderson are never guilty of com J mitting._ j THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. j The Convention of tbe Democratic J Party in fbe Third Congressional Dis I trict, which met in Seneca City on the I sixth inst., concluded its session on last I Thursday, after having taken one hun? dred and ten viva voce ballots and thir- j j teen caucus ballots, making in all 123 I ballots. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken was re I nominated on this ballot by a vote of 28 I to 14 for Col. George Jobnstone, of j Newberry. The vote was made up as I follows: For Col. Aiken?Abbeville 12, I Anderson 9, Pickens 6 and Oconee 1. j For Col. Johnetone?Newberry 8, Oco I nee 5 and Anderson 1. Mr. P. K. McCully, the only Ander |8on delegate who voted for Col. John I atone, seconded the motion to make the j nomination unanimous. The candidates I were all present ic Seneca during the j Convention, Messrs. Aikeo, Johnstone land Bowen arriving there on Tuesday I night, and Mr. Murray on Wednesday j morning. The two last named gentle I men were telegraphed for by their friends. I The Convention was harmonious through I out, and the result was accepted in a j good spirit by the candidates and their I friends. The result is doubtless highly I gratifying to Col. Aiken and his friends, I as it is a high. compliment to bis effi? ciency and popularity, this being his fifth j term, which will cover a period of ten I years service in Congress. The people of Anderson County have always liked Col. Aiken, though upon some things I they do not agree with him. The An j derson delegation in tbe Convention j made a splendid fight for Mr. Murray, and secured for him at one time the oext I highest vote to Col. Aiken's, lacking (only six votes of nominating him. I When Mr. Murray's vote fell back his I name was withdrawn and the vote of I Anderson settled the contest as stated I above. There will be no sulking in I Andereon over the result, but Col. Aiken I will receive the same warm and enthusi I astic .support which has always been I accorded him in this County. He will J be elected by an overwhelming majority, I even if he should have opposition, which I we do not now anticipate. I A-CORRECTION. I . In the discussion of the South Caroli? na University we were mistaken in treat? ing the $11,000 for the Agricultural College as a part of the $15,000 appro? priated to the University. It is in ad? dition to that sum. The eleven thousand dollars is a part of the interest on tbe State debt, and is paid directly to tbe University without an appropriation. It does not appear in the appropriation bill, and therefore we overlooked it in our previous article. We are anxious that these questions shall be settled upon their true merits, and therefore make the cor? rection before the primary election. The principle, however, is the same. If a University is to^be conducted at all, we ought to have an efficient one, and the money appropriated to it is not more than is needed acd beneficial to the State. Bock Mills. Editor Intelligencer : Rock Mills has carefully examined your comments oc her resolutions on Higher Education and tbe Columbia Canal. You must excuse ua when we say you have failed altogether to satisfy us. It does not satisfy ua for you to say, "If a man wants to lose all chance of establishing an influence in the Legislature, he cannot do so easier than by voting against tbe University." And again: "Whether our people favor it or uot, the University is here to stay," &c. As far as Rock Mills is concerned, she desires no influential member in tbe Legislature if it requires a surrender of hia principles and tbatof his constituents to obtain it, or any act upon his part that will work injustice to our people. We could but despise and hate such a member. Rock Mills took no position on this subject and that of the Canal except to ask the views of tbe Legislative candi? dates upon these questions. She sought information from no other source. Is it right to appropriate any portion of the hard earnings of the people to support high education ? Before you can convince us of this you must sbow us wherein it is right that one man's child shall receive over three hundred dollars of public money, and the rest of ub leas than three dollars for our children. If Democratic principles means equal and just laws to all, then, you must show us the equality and jus? tice of taking over $300.00 to educate one man's child and less than $3.00 to educate another man's child. If it be true that Republican or Dem? ocratic government is based alone upon 1 the intelligence of the masses, we must then be shown how it is that the educa? tion of two boys at an enormous expense, to the neglect of the rest, will give or can give a basis of intelligence upon which to rest our government. As to the Columbia Canal we believe not only our Club, but all the rest as well, are satisfied that it is. a great monu? ment of folly that cannot now or hereafter be justified by the intelligent voters of Anderson County. Respectfully, J. T. Cook. Congressional Nomination, Third Dls? trict, Seneca City, August 6.?The Con? vention of the Third Congressional dis? trict was called to order at 10.30. On motion of Mr. D.

The convention accordingly resolved itself into a secret caucus, reassembling at 11.40 and proceeding to take tbe 78th ballot. G. E. Prince, of Anderson, moved "that this Convention stand on its bead," which was seconded by Mr. Cary, of Oconee. [Laughter]. But it was not put to the vote. Mr. Prince called for the regular order of business and the Convention took the 79th ballot and continued to the 91st ballot, when Mr. Mosely, of Newberry, inadvertently voted for Aiken instead of Johnstone. This occasioned great laughter among tbe delegates and spectators. At the hundredth ballot Mr. Hagood, of Pickens, moved to adjourn to 5 o'clock. Mr. Childs offered an amendment to adjourn sine die. Mr. Prince, of Ander? son, moved to table Mr. Child's motion. Mr. Bradley, of Pickens, thought the matter should go back to tbe people, as every delegate seemed determined to stick to his man.

White, Gates of Pickens, J. K. P. G-jg gans of Newberry, and Mathewson of Oconee, was appointed to wait on Col. Aiken and inform him of his nomination and escort him to the hall. There was great cheering and wild applause when Col. Aiken entered. Mr. White, of Abbsville. introduced Col. Aiken, who spoke as follows: Mr. President, Gentlemen of (he Con? vention and my Fellow Citizens: Ouce more these people speaking through you as their representatives, have entrusted to my keeping the Congressional interests of the Third District of South Carolina. To say that I thank you for this houor is but a meagre method of expressing tbe gratitude that this moment pervades my bosom. T have been true to you in the performance of the duties you have imposed upon me in the past. Never fear, my countrymen, that I will disap? point you in the future. I know, my fellow-citizens, that my course has been severely criticised by some parties, and that I have been charged with entertain? ing views opposed to popular education. My friends, this is a slander, for no man iu the State is more in favor of educating a constituency than I. But, sir, when the aid to education conies through the channel of a Bepublican caucus, I, as a Democrat, am bound to refuse-its accep? tance. [Applause.] I have, too, been accused of opposition to the National Democracy, and been charged with being a regular "party smasher." Sir, I yield to no man in my devotion to party. I will never consent to have my party fealty questioned. But, sir, I have said, and do not deny saying, that if the South in Congress had held aloof and stood as a unit sbe might have shaped Federal legislation, ana this I advocated, not in antagonism to the National Democracy, but because I loved the South and my dear old State better than I did the Democracy of Yankeeland. [Loud applause and cheers.] Mr. President, I need not detain the Convention longer. This fight is ended, and it has been fought upon principle and with honesty. Congressional honors have again been confided to me. My every thought as a public man shall be for those who have imposed the confi? dence. Tbe past speaks for itself. I only ask you to await the future in patience. [Loud and contiuued applause and cheers.] Mr. Murray was called for, and re sponded in a graceful tribute to his friends who had supported him, pledging them to the support of the honorable gentleman who had been selected to fill tbe place. He was loudly cheered and applauded. Mr. Johnstone was called for and spoke in a happy manner, being fre? quently applauded. In response to calls Col. Bowen thank? ed his supporters in an eloquent though brief speech. Mr. Pope, of Newberry, offered a resolution thanking the citizens for the many courtesies shown the delegates and officers of the Convention for the able manner in which they had conducted the meeting, and it was adopted by a rising vote. Mr. Perrin, of Abbeville, moved that the thanks of the Convention be tender? ed to Mr. Cary for the hall. Adopted. Mr. Childs, of PickenB, moved to ad? journ sine die. Carried amid great hand? shaking and congratulations, in which the defeated candidates joined most heartily. The Abbeville Primaries. Abbeville, August 11.?The vote o( lost Saturday's primary election was counted to-day by tbe Central Club, with the following result: Total vote cast 2,888, necessary for nomination 1,445. John F. Bradley received for the Legis lature 1,910, R. R. Hemphill 1,779, Ellis G. Graydon 1,588, W. H. Parker 1,522. The race for the fifth man will have to be run over again. M. Y.

Good will prevailed throughout the campaign and there was no partisauship in the race at all. The nominees for the Legis? lature are excellent men aud their selec? tion gives general satisfaction. Condition of Crops in South Carolina. The reports of County correspondents to the State Department of Agriculture, August 1st, show a decline in tbe condi? tion of cotton from tbe previous month. During the early part of" July the rains were very heavy, and this following tbe excessive wet weather of June, caused the plant to be very tender and succulent. After the first week in July the weather w.ia hot, dry and sultry, aud the sudden change caused tbe plant to cast fruit and leaves, and shedding is reported very generally in all parts of the State. Great danger to the crop was apprehen? ded until near the close of the month, when seasonable showers relieved tbe anxiety of tbe farmers to some extent. The plant was sustained mostly by sur? face roots and in order to remove the grass it was necessary to plough closa to tbe plant, and in some cases the surface rcots were destroyed. The growth of the plant was consequently checked and some damage necessarily done. Since it has been freed of gross and has had the benefit of tbe rains in tbe latter part of the month, it is said to be taking on a better and more vigorous growth, with prospects for an average crop brighten? ing. In the upper part of tbe State the plant is small, and in the middle and lower sections it is about an average size, but, except in a few localities, it is not fruiting as well as usual at this sea? son. Three correspondents in tbe lower part of the State mention the appearance of the caterpillar; but one of them, who has not Been the worm, doubts if it is tbe genuine cotton caterpillar. The condi? tion is reported in Upper Carolina at 75. Middle Carolina at 85, Lower Carolina at 92?an average for the State of 84 against 79 for tbe same period last year. The July report showed the probable damage to corn on river and creek bot? toms, and it is confirmed by the later re? ports. In many places the crops were destroyed by the floods too late to replant, and fields that on the first of June promised an abundant yield were aban? doned. The seasons have been remarka? bly favorable for early plauted upland corn, and it is estimated that it will give above an average yield. Late planted and that planted on oat stubble suffered severely from excessive rains during June and July and the drought that fol? lowed, and was reported below an aver? age on the 1st of August. The general condition for the whole crop is reported: For Northern Carolina, 73; Middle Carolina, 91; Lower Carolina, 98?an average for the State of S7 against 75 for the same time last year. ? The Railway Age settles the ques? tion as to which is the oldest railway in the United States, as follows: "The first railway built in the United States was three miles in length, extending from the granite quarries at Quincy, Mass., to the Nepnnset River, ft was commenced in 1S26 and completed in 1827. The gauge was five feet. The rails were pioe, a foot deep, covered with 1 an oak plate, and these with flat bars cf iron." vSR- If everybody knew how to keep a horse or mule slick and fat, what a power of Orr & Sloan's Premium Horse and Cat? tle Powders would be used. Why is it that Wilbito's Fountain is so popular? Because the water is soda delirjht/ul.

Reports from the growing crops from all parts of the country show them to be in a most promising condition, and the prospect of a bountiful harvest, with a consequent fall and winter of plenty, is bright. It ha3 been many years since there has been such geueral fullness of the crops of the different products in all sections. The corn and wheat of the We9t is particularly advanced this year, the tobacco of the East and South is in a bettor condition than foryears, and the cotton of the South is up to its usual yield. The effects of the last threatened panic will thus be more than counterac? ted. ANNOUNCE3IENTS. For Auditor. The friends of T. J.
