Court.?A number of persons from this county wore tried last week in the U. S. Circuit Court for retailing whiskey and tobacco without license. Some were acquitted, and others found guilty. The cases against S N. Newman (white) and E. Z Benjamin (colored) were nofjtrotmcd. T. L.

Coder the law, the punishment is imprisonment in tlie county jail. Sentences have not yet been passe J upon the parties who were convicted. The County Executive Committee.?The convention will have to perform the important duty of reorganizing the County Executive Committee.? This will, of course, be done in accordance with the rules and regulations of the party, which authorize the election of a County Chairman from the county at large by the convention, and the selection by each club of one member of the committee. No more important duty will devolve upon the convention than the election of a County Chair man, and on i nnr account every cum should scud up full delegations. Arrived.?The Steamer Islington, r;apt. W. W. Skinner, arrived on Friday morning. She lias been undergoing repairs fur some time past at Acton, and is now as good as new.

The next meeting will be lield at Hart's Steam Mill on Saturday next at throe o'clock p. m. Naval Stokes.?The Charleston Journal of Commerce asks why naval stores will go front Camden by the steamer Lillington and the W, C. & A. R. P., to Wilmington, instead of by the S. C. It. 11., to Charleston. Opera tors up here say, because the rates to the former city are as low, if not lower, than to the latter, while the merchants of Wilmington offer extra inducements for their trade. They alto find lhatj they can purchase their supplies upon , as favorable terms in Wilmington as in Charleston. A Mayor Pardoned.?The Governor yesterday pardoned "John Agncw, Mayor of Columbia," for an offence of which no was convicted in a trial justice's court in this city last summer. The crime charged against the Major was that of using unnecessary force upon a helpless inebriate after he was in his Honor's custody, by kicking him while lie lay prostrate on the ground. The pardon was sought for the purpose of saving a fine of 815 and cost, imposed by th; trial justice.?Culumbii Register. A cow case.?Trial Justice Dunlap was engaged nearly all day Saturday in ' tlie trial of the case of Jemima Jackson vs. John Myers and Retta Myers, the same being an acliou for tlie recovery of a cow and calf, which were in the possession of the defendants, and claimed by both parties to the suit. Messrs. Chesnut& Workman nud Judge Lcitncr appeared for the plaintiff, and J. W. Dcl'ass, Esq., for the defendants. After ail the evidence ar.d able arguments by counsel, the court charged the jury, who retired and soon found u verdict in favor of the plaiutiff. Concealed Weapons. ? We take fr?ui the Abbeville .Valium something in reference t) the habit of carrying con- j coaled weapons. What is said of Ab-j beville applies with equal force to Cam- | den. Read : The next Legislature should pass a law with wry stringent provisions against carrying concealed deadly weapons. In nearly every newspaper there is some horrid tale of.bloodshcd and murder by men under the influence of unnatural passion, helped aloug by loaded revolver and damning drink. At this place, in civilized Abbeville, every now and then some man is shot round the corner and the police arc pulled in to prevent the crime. Last Friday when the square i was crowded with Dconle from every (section of the county a number of pis! to! shots were Gred on the streets, right anions the crowd, to the jeopardy of hu man life and "against the peace and dignity of the State." This sort of thing ought to be stopped aud the best way to do it is to pass a law making it a jail offence fur earning a loaded pistol upon the person except in time of war and in the service of the country. Pistols are dangerous play things and especially in tlie hands of drunken fools. Personal.?Drs. S. llaruch, of Camden, and J. J. IJorton, of Plat ! Dock, left yesterday morning for Greenville. They go as delegates to the State Medical Association. (.'apt. 1!. G. Lauiai, of llidgcway, was in Gamden on Saturday. Ho reports things generally, and particularly I the iStraigl.tout Democracy, to be in a thriving condition in his section. Maj.S. 1!. Adams left yesterday for ^t. Paul, Minn., wnithor his family preceded him some weeks ago. IP-forc returning, lie will visit Napoleon, Ohio, bis old home. During his absence, Mr. S. 15. Latham will act us his agent in the transaction of*all business pertaining tu his lumber interests, as will appear frout his card in another column. We were pleased to meet the other day Messrs. Win Kirk wood and K. 10. I ... Howes, of Charleston, who were visiting Camden, as government inspectors, lor the purpose of testing the soundness of the Steamer Lillington, which arrived Friday morning. The steamer was found to be in excellent condition. Charles T. Connors, Ksip, of the Lati caster bar, spent a low da).- i;i Camden 1 last week. C.ipt. W. L. Del'a-s was in attendance upon the U. S. Court. I .Judge Kershaw reached home Thursday from Spartanburg, where be has i baen holding Court for the last week or 1 two. Captain Win. Clyburn and Mr. W. ' I>. McDowallarc visiting Charleston. Messrs. Rimbcrg it llosenbcrger have rcn.ovcd from the store under the ! .JoUNAl.office to the building on the opposite side of i lit s'reet one door south of the Latham House. 'i Mr. J. M. Smyrl is in Charleston as I a juror in the L . S. Court. IS It KYI TIES. i IUIIy, Democrats, one and all. The wood* are lull of wild flowers. Once more into the hroicii is the cry. j ' Ilurrali for Hampton," is already I heard in these pans. No strawberries have yet made their I appearance in Camden. I Peas of crop of 137S have rn.tde their1 i appearance in Camden, j The excitement over the town elec-1 I tion has nearly subsided. Good Friday comes ihis year on the 19th instant. Faster on the 21st. I We understand that several pic nic ; parties have teen arranged lor May 1st. This is the 13th Anniversary of Appomattox, and yet in some quarters the war lias not ended. The road between Camden and Waterec Free Fridge has been put in good condition for travel. The use of return postal cards, and combined letter sheets and envelopes arc now authorized by law. Everybody is afraid that a lingering frost will come and carry off the fruit, of which the prospect was never bettor. The world is sure to find out ai^ enterprising man. Fut it will find him out much sooner if he advertises liber-' ally. The great demand fur dwelling houses in Camden, it seems, should prompt nomtnlieia tn invest their money in building. One can now do a full day's work, the interval between sunrise and sun- . set being about twelve and a half j hours. It is announced that the Radical par-1 ty will put in the Gcli no State ticket, if Hampton and the other State officers arc renominated. An effort is being made to have the 1 schedule on the Camden branch changed so as to give us daily communication with both Charleston and Columbia. In Virginia the whipping post has been substituted for confinement in jail' as a punishment in nil cases of petty larceny and minor offences of like character. The convention meets in Cam>lcn on j the 24th of April. Very important busi- j ness will be transacted, and it is desired that every club be fully represented. ; Organize thoroughly, and send up full delegations, and lay the basis lor a rousing triumph on the 5th of November. Overtaken.?On the night of the 20th of March, Mr. II. II. Ilall, living fourteen miles cast of Cirnden, had stolen from him a cow and calf, which lie tracked the next morning to the Depot j crcck in the outskirts of Camden, where | he lost trail. After considerable trouble,; Mr. Hall ascertained that his property j had gone up the country, whither he j pursued, aud found it, a week after the : theft was committed, in the possession of one James Garter, colored, who lives on the Ciples plantation, some twelve or j fifteen miles above Catnden. Carter1 confessed his guilt, and offered to pull off and take any amount of whipping; but Mr. Hall,like a humane man, brought , him to town nnd committed him to the guardhouse, whence lie was transferred to the county jail by Trial Justice Dunlap, there to await trial for grand lar? ccuy.

Goodwyn.?This community received with the profoundest re gret the intelligence of the death of this I aged and most estimable gentleman, which occurred suddenly at Fort Motlc on the 1st instant. I>r. Goodwyn was for many years mayor of Columbia, and was universally respected and beloved on account of his high character and other excellent tjuilities of bead and I I'cart. Thu Columbia R<-tj inter says of liiui : lie was elected Mayor of this city in 1863, and held tlint offirv? when the city was destroyed by Sherman in I 18C5. After the war. his icsidence I hero being hurt, he was forced to retire to his plantation near Fort Motte. With , a hopeful and cheerful disposition, and bein<; undaunted by the infirmities of age, he endeavored (or some years to make an hoti'st living by traveling over the State in the insuranco business. Full of charity for all mankind, the young listened with interest to his conversation, and tuen of inaturer years sought his company on account of his huoyant. youthful and cheerful spirit Everywhere lie went ho was honored, welcomed and loved. Well, then, should the State lament the death of such a man, for South Carolina had no truer son. Dcniocmtlc Club No. 2. A number of the citizens of the town nf n 'inwlitn Kncintr nmf nf Jnno?' TT'ill on the 27th of March, 1878, pursuant to resolutions passed at a previous meeting, at which the feasibility of forming an additional Democratic Club in the town had been discussed, resulting in a temporary organization for that purpose, proceeded to regularly organize themselves into a club, to be known as Democratic Club No. 2, in contradistinction to the club now kuown as the Catndeu Democratic Club, the future organization of which it was not, proposed to disturb; but there being sufficient numbers for two very large clubs in the town, it was hoped that, by a generous spirit of emulation, both might arrive at a moro advanced stage of efficiency than if only one club was in existence? whereupon the following officrs were elected : W. L. DePass, President; J. T. Hay, 1st Vice President; John 1\. Witherspoon, 2nd Vice ['resident; (the offices of i5rd and 4th Vice Presidents being deferred to a future meeting) \Y. D. Anderson, Recording Secretary: J. L. Rrasington, Corresponding Secretary. The selection of the Executive Committee was ordered by the club to be lelt with the President, who thereupon appointed J. II. Guodalo. chairman; \V. it. McCrcight, Capt J. W. .Jamison, J. W. RePassjand J. I). Arrants. It was resolved that the meetings of this club be held once in every two weeks, on Fridays, at Jones' Hall, the proprietor of which generously tend-red its use to the club, which was accepted. Dr. M. IJissell having been called to the chair, the following resolutions were offered by the President and unanimously adopted : W li k he as, it is meet and proper that this club of the Democratic party of Kershaw county, known as Camden Democratic Club No 2,diould give an expression of! opinion of the auspicious change that lias j been produced in public affairs by the su-1 premacy of Democratic rule, and upon the acts of the present administration now in control of the government of the State, under its regis, at the head of which stands its distinguished standard-hearer, Wade Hampton, he it Resolved, That we recognize the hand of an overruling Providence in putting an end to the corrupt and utterly depraved government, unprecedented in the annals of civilization, under which this deeply afllicted State has been suffering for the last ten years, by the advent into power of an administration that has brought peace, happiness and repose to the people. Resolved, That this happy result lias been accomplished by an economical expenditure of the public funds, by a calm, temperate and dignified conservatism in all of its measures, ensuring a just anu impartial recognition of the rights nnd liberties of all classes ami conditions of the people; and by a faithful and unequivocal adherence to, and performance of, its pledges ma le to the people, as the represenstatives of the Democratic party in this State and of those made to tlie Federal authorities at Washington. Renohed, That the economy with which the governmeBt has been conducted, even from its commencement, is such as to enable the Legislature to reduce materially the burden of taxation, though laboring under the heavy and burdensome pressure front the piled-up masses of Stn'e obligations, fastened upon an impoverished people by the Radical horde of thieves and public plunderers, who have fattened upon their ill-gotten gains. Rttolvrd, That it has brought to justice a number of these same thieves and public plunderers, nnd has struck such terror into numbers of others of them, as to have scattered them to the four winds of heaven, in their efforts to escape the vengeance of the law. Rttolvtd, By the election of a wise, intellectual and incorruptible number of the citizens of the State to preside in her halls of Justice, and thus once more purifying that fountain whose virtues, in times of yore, were never questioned in South Carolina. Resolved, By the enactment of just and equitable laws of the Legislature, as will quiet the ownership of property, protect the citizen in his rights ni.il bring security to liis liberties. Rewind, In a word. Democratic supremacy lias enabled the citizens of the State to return to the virtues of her founders, while it lias struck a stronger chord i in behalf of the freedom of her people, ami lias InM deep nn<i broad tbo foundations for their present and future happiness and prosperity. Jietolvfil, In view, then, of these public blessings to the maintenance and establishment of which the present adminisi t rat ion of the government has so eminently contributed, we recognize the necessity of calling them again to the head of p dtlic affairs, and here proclaim that our distinguished chieftain. Wade Hampton, and his cabinet of honorable gentlemen, possesses our highest confidence: and that the most we can say of him and them is, that, in being true to their (Soil, they have been true to themselves and their country. The 1'resident then announced that seventy-eight members had enrolled thoir names, which was read by the Secretary. 'J'he Rev. John (). Willeon, a member of the club, was elected Chaplain. The club then adjourcd to meet 011 Friday, the 5th of April. W. L. DEPASS, President. \V. D. Anderson, Secretary. County Democratic Executive CommitteeCamden,S. 0. April f>. 1873.
