We can afford lo differ on lo- i cal affair??such as the fence law?but j wo cannot afford to be divided on State 1 matters. Souie say that I passed the fence law but I had nothing to with it Your County was the Grst to adopt the system of primary elections, lie governed by its result, and allow no independent ( lo run. Independents may sometimes be good men. but now they are our worst enemies. Bo united in this 1 grand movement, ar.d send jour best men to the Legislature. I urge joii to be united. Do this, and jou will find South Carolina immutably redeemed. I urge you to do it as the one thing i most important.?Extract from Gov. 1 Hampton's speech at Anderson. , The New Council. The new council are showing a disposition to administer the affairs of the j town in a manner that will be accepta- \ ble to the taxpayers. They have con- | solidated the offices of recorder and treas- | urer allowing the incumbeut $350 per | year with the perquisites of the office, i and abolished that of marshal, there being uow a chief of police with a salary rti'ftSO n?r mnnth. and four policemen. each to receive 820 instead of 827 per month as formerly. In this way it is estimated that the expenses of the towu will be reduced at least one third. But whether or not the changes will upon the whole be practicable and econ* omical remains to be seen. We know of no reason why they should not. The council have also shown their desire to advance the interests of the town by the appointmonts they have made to the subordinate offices. The selections arc perhaps as good as could have been'made, and that they are so is a subject of congratulation to the town. 1 - tl ?I i Having opposed Willi wnaievcr | power we possessed the election of the present council, wo now ask for them a fair trial. It is better far to ' praise the good than to rail at the ill. Our Local Democracy. Some little confusion exists io the ranks of our local Democracy, the same being caused no doubt by the organization of other clubs from the membership of the Camden Democratic Club. There is really no reason why there should be the slightest confusion about the matter. Any Democrat has the right to belong to whatever club he pleases, and any number of Democrats *iay, whenever in their judgment the interests of the party will be promoted thereby, withdraw from the origiual club and organize themselves into a new club. In ourjudgmout, Camder. and vicinity can very well afford to have three or more clubs, which will accomplish more good than if they were uuitcd iu one organization. But let us have these clubs or* ganized regularly, and in such a manner as not to create confusion among our selves. If all will bear in miud the fact that it is the prerogative of a voter to determine for himself to which club he will belong, and that a number of voters may at any time organize themselves into a new club, there will be ucithcr confusion or bard feeling among the I' .1 - I ( working men 01 me pariy. j^ci, w?tij man place the success of tho Democratic 1 party before all other considerations, and good order and harmony in our ranks will follow as a necessary consequence i Tho Fourth District. A writer in the Lancaster Ledger ( nominates Gen. John B. Erwin. of that County, for Congress from tho Fourth District. Gen. Erwin is a man of education and liberal views, and has come ' up to the full measure of his duty in whatever position he has been placed. 1 lie was a member of tho last Leg is la- 1 tare, and was known as one of the most * quiet, but cnergeticand effective workers ( of the House. Should he receivo the " nomination for Congress, his election " would be sure, and he would represent ' and reflect credit upon tho Fourth 1 District. ' P. J. Mosos, Jr. t The latest news concerning ''our na? ] tavc young Governor" is shameful in 1 tfic extreme. IIo was arrostcd in New < York City recently on the charge of < forgery, it being alleged that he forged ( the uauio of Joseph us Woodruff as surety t to a note given by himself to James Al- \ lan, Ks(j., a well known jeweler of King Street, Charleston, for $31G. There i seems to be no doubt of Moses' guilt, y Every good citizen is ashamed, and wiil t try to forget that he was ever Governor t of South Carolina. r McEvoy will be hung on next Fri j day, unless the execution of the law i? w further stayed by the Governor. j ) NEWS ITEMS.

L, Cass Carpenter, the pardoned carpetbagger, denies the report that he was slandering the people of South Carolina On the contrary, he claims that he hn? in every instance spoken most favorable of Governor Hampton and his administration. The report that Lieut. Governor Simpson will not be a candidate for re-election is without foundation. Like ? sensible man, Mr. Simpson leaves the matter entirely to the people of the State. If they want hiui they will say jo, and ho will obey their behests. The able and faithful young Solicit tor of the Fifth Circuit. John R. Abn^y. Esq.. makes friends everywhere by the manner in which he discharges the very important duties of his high office. When the time comes, he will be nominatedfor re-election. On the occasion of his recent visit to Anderson, the people of that County presented Governor Hampton with a handsome black horse. The day?March 28th-wos the Governor's sixtieth birthday, and the horse was intended as a birthday paesent from his admiring countrymen. The extraordinary attentions paid to the Prioco Imperial of Austria at florin, havo excited much com mint.

In February, lSf?7,l the bells were brought back to this country, and duties to the amount of S1,588.G5 were paid under protest. The Committee on Ways and Means, has agreed to submit a favorable report, cm- \ bodying the prayer of the petitioners. Professor Wallace Duncan, of Wofford College, recently delivered an address in which he said that there were some of the most patriotic men in South Carolina that he had ever seen,, and they give unmistakable evidence of their desire to serve their country by the fact that if the Democratic party | does not nominate them for office they nominate themselves in ord-T simply to get the chance to serve their country. This is a fine satire, the force of which will be seen by an to appiy 10 inuvp> u> dent candidates. KaRLY in the special session of the present congress, a petition was introduced in the House for the relief of S'. Michael's Church, Charleston, S. C.. praying for the remission of the d?;?ic upon the bells of the Church, which were recently recast, in England and replaced in the tower of the cdiScc. These bells have a historic interest. The chime was imported from England into the province of South Carolina in 17G3. They wero seized in Cecity of Charleston, in 1780, and sent to England, whero they were bought by an English merchant. In 1781 at the i close of the Revolutionary war. the hells! were returned to Charleston and again hung in the Steeple of St. Michael's where they remained undisturbed until 18G3 when the Federal forces began shelling the city. The church steeple being n conspicuous mark for artillery practice and within the range of shells, the bells werti removed to Columbia for safety. Alexander II. Stephenf has introduced a bill providiug far an increase of the Supreme Court Judges of the United States from nine members, as at present constituted, to fifteen members, who arc to be divided into five sections, of three each, and shall divide the business of the Court among the several sections as follows.* One taking all ca?cs involving commercial law, banking, and conflict of law ; tho next taking ca?cs of admiralty, criminal case', claims upon foreign Governments, and insolvent laws; number throe taking all cases involving patents, wills,'estates, copyrights, ejectments, public hanks ; tiuuibca five taking all cases involving taxes. chancery. Federal duties and revenue#, gxesand trusts and mandamuv practice. Under Mr. Stephens' bill, all ca-es exceeding 8500 involved can be brought to the Supreme Court; all cases of original jurisdiction, of treaties under the laws and authority of the United States, in which the United States or any of the States may be a parly, or any appeals from State Courts on constitutional questions shall be ar-l gucd before the entire bench of the fifteen Judges as at present.

It appeared from the evidence that Martin purchased a watch fr?ni ^ Qolunibia jeweller for S140. lie paid ?50 down, and gavu uu order ' on Col. Sloan, the Clerk of the House or Representatives, for the balance of tbc purchase money. After obtaining possession of the watch, he countermanded the order, directing Col. Sl?an not to pay ir. In a few minutes after JuJgc Shaw instructed the jury, (which was composed of white nud colored men,) they returned a verdict of guilty of a misdemeanor. The prisoner was J defended by able counsel, and had every opportunity offered him to prove himself an innocent man. but the evidence was two strong against him, as the result proved. When called upforscntenco, yesterday, lie appealed to the mercy of the court, breaking down and weeping profusely before he could conelude his appeal. The court was visibly affected by Martin's remarks and tears, and so stated from the bench, and cave hint a light sentence. The of-! fense of which Martin was convicted, under the old regime was no offrnse at all. and many (Columbia merchants have suffered from similiar conduct upon the part of our former lawmakers.?

Tho State Executive Committee j [rUO.M THE Col.UMillA REOIKTKR.] Among the business transacted by j tho State Democratic Kxooutivo Committee, at its meeting in this city yestcr-; day, llio following general plan for con - \ ducting the primary elections was agreed upon, nnd orJered to be sent to the various County Chairmen. The members are impressed with the importance of the i system as the best mi l fairest method lor selecting candidates to lie voted for in each couniy, thereby tending to unify < and harmonize the party throughout the i State. The suggestion made in the an- j i)".\o 1 series urn general in their charaeler as is entirely proper, f>r if would be Jifficult to preparo details which would operate with equal force uud smoothness in every locality. The recommendations of the Executive Committee are embraced in the following point-: 1. Aspirants Ibr the position of candidates should be announced individually in any tnodn deemed proper by tliPtii- I selves or their friend-', but should be placed di-titicllv bel'.r? the Democratic party on their own incri's, and not as the candidates of any organized body of Democrats. 2. Each aspirant for the position of candidate, when he accept* the nomination so made, shall immediately notify the County Chairman in writing of the fact, iind in the sim" communication state that lie is a member of some local club, and subscribe to the following pledge : '*1 ?.gree to abide by and sopport tho nominations of the Democratic party, and not to accept either a nomination or an office from any other source than the regularly constituted Democratic organization." 3. At least five days before the primary election, the County Chairman shall notify the Democratic Gluts of the aspirants who have thus qualified themselves for the position of candidate, and rotes cast for any other person or persons shall not ba counted. 4. On the day fixed for the primary election, each club shall hold an elcctiou for candidates of the Democratic pnrty. am) report the result in vrritini? over the signatures of the managers to the County Chairman. At this election none but members of the local clubs shall vote, nnd each member before b-'ing allowed to vo'c shall take the following pledge : "I solemnly affirm that. I am a duly enrolled metnbnr of this Democratic Club ; that T have not vnfod at this election, and that I will abide by nnd sustain all nominations mad-< by the Democratic party, whether for Federal, S'atc or coun'y officers." 5 Upon the following day the County Chairman and at least two members of the County Executive Committee shall assemble at the county scat, nnd aggregate the vofos reporft-d. and before sundown declare the Candida cs selected. 0. No one shnll be declared the nominee of flic party unless he shall have received a majority of all the votes cast in the primary election. 7. Should no candidate for any particular office receive a majority of the votes cast, the County Chairman shall so declare, and order a second plepfion Jo complete tSic nominations insufficient time boforc the general election.
