others found guilty. The cases against
S N. Newman (white) and E. Z Benjamin
(colored) were nofjtrotmcd. T.
L. Young, (white) Crern Washington
and James Adatnson (colored) were
found guilty of retailing whiskey without
having paid the special tax. 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. I'ndcr the

her new owner upon the bright
prospect that is before liiin. Site was
inspected by Messrs. Kirk wood and
Ilewcs and they found her in thorough
running condition, and gave a certilicatc
to that effect.
I ! J1eokuani/.ki>.? Bculati Democratic

The following gciitlenieo have been

Samuel West, T. W. II. Smith
and J. J. Hush, \'iec Presidents; and
C. W. Mosclcy, Secretary. 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.

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.

IIo.v. T. J. 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.
