The subject of primary elections has been pretty generally discussed by the press of the State, and in evrry county, when the question has been submitted, they have been agreed upon as the most satisfactory and best mode of making nominations for county officers and members of the Legislature. Conventions generally do their wot k well, but they do not always make up the best and most available tickets. Situated as the Democratic party of Kershaw county is at the present time, it is not merely advisable, but absolutely necessary that the nominations for public officers be such as will give satisfaction to the party, draw the voters from their homes on ?he day of election, and result in the comoletc redemption of our county. i i In no way can all of this be accomplished fo effectually as through the instrumentality of primary elections. Every voter would then have an opportunity to indicate his choice for every officer from State Senator down to coroner. We believe that the most representative plan is the best. The convention, to meet on the 24th, of April, will probably decide in favor of or against primary elections. If they are agreed up on, the Convention will also arrange a p'an by which they can be conducted, the votes counted, and the result declared. With nominations by the peo pie, our victory is assured. Justice in South Carolina. Our readers will remember that, some time since, a petition for the pardon of that notorious villain, L. Cass Carpcn* ter, was circulated by his wife among the members of the legislature?Gen. Gary, as was said, even carrying the paper arouod forher-nearly all of whom signed it, the plea being that the unfo-tunate man wag broken in health and his family utterly without the means of support. The petition was also signed by many other leading De J fTnmrttnn fie iHOcrats. ana uuvunui uauiptvu, ? any other man would do, pardoned hiui. If any one wishes to know how the wretch regards the kiodne.-s shown, read the evidence of his ingratitude in the following lines, which arc taken from the Philadelphia Timrt : Was'QIngton, April 1.?Kx-llcprc? tentative L. Cass Carpenter, r?f South Carolina, who was in prison in (Columbia for over three months, convicted for preaeuting fraudulent claiui" for printing aud advertising against the S'afe, arrived here on 1 hursduy, having been pardoned by Governor Hampton, lie says there is no protection in South Carolina, and thai if the colored Representative, Smalls, Senator Patterson orcx-Govcmor Chamberlain ever go to that State again they will certainly be s- nt to the penitentiary. He says Patterson is still tinder right indictments, mostly for bribery, and that if tsnia'la uo?s n??i return and stand his trial ho must forfeit his 810,000 bonds. He thinks Senator Dueler has b< cn ??f no si rriee to Pattert>->n, and that Duller and Hampton arc not as fricndlv as formerly, and therefore lJutlcr will not be able to help Patterson in the future. He does not think Patterson will ever return to South Carolina. According to Carpenter, Senator Patterson still adhere* to liutlcr, and says he will vote forPutler as against the claims of Corlin to a neat tn the Seuate. Carpenter says that every juryman who convicted him offered to indorse his application for pardon, and thut two jurymen made affidavit that they voted tr convict him, believing th< i>- lives would not have been safe otherwise. He said he never applied for a pardon or allowed his friends to do so for him. Tho Columbia Election. The result of the election for uiunici j>d officers of the city of Col urn lia on tin first of this month must send a thrill ol joy throughout the entire Slate. Tin entire Democratic ticket, with that old Ilomao, Capt. W. 11. Stanley, at its head was elected. Organization did thi work. ^ Ijg v - Refuses to Assign Counsel. Persons, who have been much abou Couit Houses during tho last few years must have observed the l;.ge number o parties who are defended gratuitously by counsel assigned them by the Court Judge Iludsou takes the proper view o the subject, as will appear from the fol lowing extract from the Voikvillo A'/i q Hirer : Judge Hudson pen ruptorily decline.* to as.-igo counsel to defend person charged with crime of less degree thar capital o fir uses. This course, which by the way, has a precedent in the ac tion of Judge Mackcy at the last fern Ire presided here, will have a happy effect in checking crime in the future Heretofore, petty crimes have b?*ei committed almost with impunity, tin perpetrators being assured in ndvuncc by the repuinMou of Sheriff (ib-wi as i dieter, that they would he we'l fid anr cared for, and when the time for tria arrived, able counsel wouid he assignee them, and they would stand, in a r<a sonable degree, a chance cf actjuittr.1 Such will not bo the case hereafter. S<-\ is the inle applied to colored prisoner* alone. Id the case of tho State apain>-l 31 ill wood, a while man, who was with* out couofel, the Jildgv plainly anooun* cod tliut it was not in the province of (lie court to assign counsel; that lie had uo more authority to direct a lawyer to defend him than to command a [ farmer to donate him u quantity of corn. Aside Irotn the salutary effect which will follow this ruling, it will also be a relief to the members of the bar. Cotton Mills. We extract from Speight's Daily XncfjjajHr :hc following concerning; the Cautpcrdown factory, which .-hows j what cotton mills can do in tho South : ' I'pon inquiry wo found that the com- j sumption of the factory was about 15 i bales per day. This raw matciial was j increased in value by being iimnnfic-' turcd some two to three-fold That is 1 to say after being spun the product ! amounted to some 30 to 40 bales in j lvalue. Tlius shipping fur any day's j | work what amounted to the cotton yield of three or lour ordinary farms and of soate 1,000 to 1,200 farms annually. The manufactures consist entirely of yarns, mostly of fine numbers, being up to o0. The horse power of this factory perhaps averages two hundred with ordinary head of water. Two auxiliary steam engines arc employed with one hundred and fifty horse power. Fifteen hundred cords of wood are annually consumed. The factory employs some two hundred hands, and it is estimated furnishes the support of some four hundred persons. Several thousand dollars is paid to employees every month, thus putting that macli money in circulation. All the yarns are sold North, and owing to their fineness and regularity, for they are beautiful, they find a ready Sale. Supposing that Greenville County produces 5.000 bales, Camperdown, by her busy spindle9, turns them into what iserjual to 15,000 to 20,000 hales, for which so much money or money's value is returned.'

Are there not within our party a large number of men willing to accept these offices and perq nisi tea ?

Our Legislature, at its list scssirn, has done much for the public good, and yet much remains to be done.
