There will be a meeting of the Execu tive Committee of the Doraocratic parly of Anderson County in tho Court House in Anderson, on Saturday the 23rd inst., at ll o'clock a. m., for the purpose of tabulating and publishing the result of tho primary election. A full and prompt attendance ia desirable. E. B. MunBAY, County Chairman. There bas been some enquiry as to tho manner of appointing the managers of tho primary election. By referring to the rules for governing tho primary elec tion it will be seen that the Executive Committee of each Club appoints the managers for tho election in such Club. Our people had better look after live questions in electing their Representa tivo. It is always easier to criticise what others have done than to orig?nalo new measures, and yet tho 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 Slate debt soon matures. We aro now paying an interest of six per cent, upon our debt which requires $468,000 per year. This debt should and can bo refunded on long time at 3} per cent., which would save nt least $200,000 per annum and give to our people a reduction of nt least one and a half mills taxes. Our assessment laws should be simplified and improved. Our road system should he remodeled. Our County prisoners under sentence for crime, should be put to work upon roads and street?. Our penitentiary convicts ahould bo employed to develope the ma terial resources of the State, instead of competing with honest labor to onricb a few private persons. These and kin dred subjects aro the ones our people had better get the views of candidates for the Legislature upon. It is not profitable to discuss Issues which aro Irrevocably settled.^_ -_ TBK BOOK MULLS QUESTIONS. Dr. Cook's article upon the University and tho Canal, replying to the INTELLI GENCER, presents no arguments which have not already been presented with at least as much force by the Greenville Neto? aud 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 falls to show us how it is so. This State has had a College or Univer sity ever since 1805. Is 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, tho 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, whoso climate is not favorable, and whose material progress has but recently begun. To close the University on tho piea of the poverty of the Stat? would damage South Carolina more than our friends imagino, It would'.proclaim to the world a stagnation here that would be ruinous. The University Is a part of. the education al system' of tho State, and ls 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 Spacial class. All med cannot avail themselves of the'common echo ola, but it would not do on that account to close th? sohoola. Tho' University is as much tho property of the Slate as the co m ta on schools, and every hoy, from the humblest to the highest, ls alike entitled to partic?pate in ita ben efl to. It ia more to tho advantage of boys of moderate or limited means than (boas who are weal* thy. Tba wealthy maa caa send bis eons to any College in the world that he may chose, but there are many boya who will got fina educations - at tho Booth Carolina University, at an expensa of two or three hundred dollars per year, whoi?gpld not afford to pay five or lix hundred dollars afc the Uni varsity of Virginia, or tome other first cJn&a instl tdtlon. This ia a great stimulus to th? poofboyaof tho State.Thero are hun* dreda cf them who will work'their way through this * University, and 'prove themselves th? peera of any men, who woolf! not fee', able to'work through one of the expensive institutions outside of ?$|fi^toV Ono of tho reason? wo' favor udTtiniveraity is, that it tend? to bring higher -education within'fha reach pf all ciaates of our citrus. #e do aol.want to see a state of things* in South. Carolin* which; will ?nable? the rich man's sous IO .iiate at Borne University, bui stop a poor, boy when h& JeaYis ?fc? com? on school. Wia do'.uoi-iexpccs --rWery boy to hs *; University graduate, hut we do ex?sct Ibis very University of the" Stato to break down, in a largo measure, tho advantages which one class of citi sens would have over auolher."Tbe poorest people, and men of limited means, aro not tho ones to complain of the University, It is destined to dignify and elevate their station in life, for it will frequently seud out bright men with trained minda from tbeso classes who will [compete successfully with tho sons of rich men in all the walks of life. It may not satisfy Ur. Cook for us lo say that thc Uuiveroity ia here to stay, hut he will live long enough, we hope, to see that the assertion is true. Auderaon may waate her strength in fighting it if ?he choses, but il is a lost battle before it is begun. There will be a crushing majority ia favor of tho University, and it will have tho life, and progress, and intelligence of the Stato as i ts supporte ra. Thoreforo, we repeat that tho men who now set themselves up to fight tho Uni versity will lose all chance of establishing an influence io the legislature, for he will be looked upon as lackiug in pro gress, if not as a demagogue. Tht Uni versity is here, to ?tay, and it will be a waste of injluenee, of breath, of time and of money for any man to attempt to dote it. Dr. Cook may be w illing to atake every thing on this light, but tho people of Anderson want live, progressive and in fluential men in the Legislature to grap ple with real issues and questions of momentous consequence to tho State which will, from time to time, arise. It will be worse than folly to leave out any good man because he may bo in favor of the University-auch folly aa ibo people of Anderson are never guilty of com mitting. ^^^^ TI1K CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. Tbo Cou vont ion of tbe Democratic Party in Ibo Third Congressional Dis trict, which mot In Seneca City on tho nix th iuBt., concluded its session on last Thursday, after having taken one hun dred and ten viva voce ballots and thir teen caucus ballots, making in all 123 ballots. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken was re nominated ou this ballot by a volo of 28 to 14 for Col. George Johnstone, of Newberry. Tho vote was made up as follow! : For Col. Aiken-Abbeville 12, Anderson 9, Picketts G and Ocouee 1. For Col. Johnstone-Newberry 8, Oco neo o and Anderson 1. Mr. P. K. MuCully, the ouly Ander son delegate who voted for Col. John atone, aeconded the motion to make tho nomination unanimous. Tbo candidates were all present in Seneca during tho Convention, Measrs. Aiken, Johnstone and Bowen arriving tboro on Tuesday night, and Mr. Murray on Wednesday morning. Tbe two last named gentle men were telegraphed for by their friends. The Convention was hnrmonioua through out, and the result was accepted in a good spirit by tho candidatos and their friends. The result in doubtless highly gratifying to Col. Aiken and h ia friends, as it is a high compliment to his effi ciency and popularity, this being his fifth term, which will cover a period of ten years service in Congress. The people of Anderson County have always liked Col. Aiken, though upon aomo things they do not agree with bim. The An derson delegation in tbo Convention made a splendid fight for Mr. Murray, and secured for him at one time the next highest vote to Col. Aiken's, lacking only six votes of nominatiug him. When Mr. Murray's vote fell back his name was withdrawn and the vote of Anderson Bellied the contest aa stated above. There will be no sulking in Anderson over the result, but Col. Aiken will receive the same warm and enthusi astic support which has always been accorded him in this County. He will be elected by an overwhelming majority, even if he uhould have opposition, which we do not now autioip"le. A CORRECTION. In the discussion of the South Caroli na University we were mistaken lu treat ing tho $11,000 for the Agricultural College as a psrt of the $15,000 appro priated to the University. It it 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 the 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, aud therefore make the cor rection before the primary election. The principle, however, is the Bame. If a University is to.be conducted at all, we ought to have an officiant one, and the money appropriated to it ia not more than is needed and beneficial to the State. Roch Milla. EDITOR INTELLIGENCER : Rock Mills has carefully examined your, comments on her resolutions on Higher Education and the Colombia Canal. You must excuse us when we say you hare failed altogether to satisfy us. It does not satisfy us for you to say, "If a man wanta to lose ali chance of establishing an influence in the Legislature, he cannot do so easier than by voting against the University." And again: "Whether our people favor lt or hot, the University ls here to stay," Ac, At far as Rock Mills is cou corned, she desires no influential member in the Legislature if lt requires a surrender of his principles and thatof his constituents to obtain lt, or any act upon his part that will work Injustice to oar people. We could bot despise and bat? such a member. Bock Mills took no position on thia subject and that of the Oana! except to ask the views of the Legislativ? candi dates upon these questions. She sought information from no other source. Is il right to appropriate amy portion of the. hard earnings pf the reople to support high cd neat i OD? . Before you can convince tu of thia yon moat chow na wherein it is right thai one man'o child shall receive over three hundrer? dollars of public money, and the wet of us leas than three dollars, for Our children. If Democratic principles neena equal and jest law? to all, thoo, you must show us the equality and jus tice of taking over. t$00.OO to educate one ! man'* child and !eu than $3.00 to educate another mau'* child. ' If It be time that Republican or Dem . .-^iVbs^e}^^: tho intelligence of tho masacs, we must then bo shown bow it la that the educa tioo of two boys at sn enormous expense, to the neglect of the rest, will give or caa give a basis of intelligence upon which to rest our government. As to tho Columbia Canal wo believe not only our Club, but all the rest as well, are satisfied that il is a great monu ment of folly that cannot now or hereafter be justified by the intelligent voters of Anderson County.

I have been true to you in ibo performance of the duties you have imposed upon me in tho 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 parlies, and that I have been charged with entertain ing views opposed to popular education.

I will never consent to have my party fealty questioned. Hut, sir, I have said, and do not deny saying, that if thc South in Congress had held aloof and stood as a unit she might have shaped Federal legialatiou, and this i advocated, not iu 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.

Condition of Crops in South Carolina. The reports of County correspondents to the State Department of Agriculture, August 1st, show a decline in the condi tion of cotton from the previous month. DuriDg the early part of July the raine were very heavy, and this following the excessive wet weather of June, caused the plant to be very tender and succulent. After the first week in July the weather was bot, dry and sultry, aud the sudden change caused the 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 the anxiety of tho farmers to some extent, The plant was sustained mostly by sur face roots and in order to remove thc grass it was necessary to plough close tc the plant, and in some caaea the surface roots were destroyed. The growth ol the plant was consequently checked and some damage necessarily done. Since il has been freed of grass and has had thc benefit of the rains in the latter part ol the month, it is said to be taking on s better and more vigorous growth, with prospects for an average crop brighten ing. In the upper part of tbe State the filant is small, and iu the middle and ewer section? it is about an average site, but, except in a few localities, it is not fruiting as well as usual at this sea son. Three correspondents in the lowei part of the State mention the appearance of the caterpillar ; but one of th em, wbc has not seen the worm, doubts if it is thc genuine cotton caterpillar. The condi tion is reported in Upper Carolina at 75. Middle Carolina at 85, Lo wer Carolins at 92-an average for the State of 84 against 79 for the same period lust year The July report Bhowed 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 fiords too late to replant a*sd fields that on the first of June promised an abundant yield were aban doned. The seasons have been remarks bly favorable for early planted upland corn, and it is estimated that it will give above an average yield. Late planted and that plantea on oat stubble suffered severely from excessive rains during June and July and the drought tbat fol lowed, and was reported below an aver age on the 1st of August. The general condition for the whole crop ls reported : For Northern Carolina, 78; Middle Carolina, 91 ; Lower Carolina, 98--ac average for the State of 87 against 75 foi the same ti mo. last year. - The Railway Age settles the qoes tion aa to which is the oldest railway ir the United Butes, aa follows : "Th* first railway built in the United Stat ei was three miles in length, extending from the granite quarries at Quincy Mass., to the Neponaet River, It wai commenced in 1826 and completed ii 1827.
