The seating of the Fulton Delega tion was contested by the President of the club, Mr. L H. Deschamps. A committee of one member from each delegation was appointed by the chair to investigate the merits of the charge. After carul consideration the committee reported in favor of the delegation, which was adopted. The Convention then proceeded to complete their organization. Mr. Jos. F. Rhame was nominated by J. S. Wilson, Esq., Chairman, and unan imously elected. Messrs. F. P. Coop er and A. Levi were elected secreta vies. Mr. Rhame, acknowledging the csmpliment paid him, said he would endleavor to discharge his dluties fair ly'and inmpartially, and that he hoped a spirit of harmony would influence the action of the body. A motion was offered by Dr. B. M1. Badger and carried by acclamation, that the Hon. Jno. P. Richardson be invited to a seat on the floor, with all its privileges except voting. The .chair appointed Dr. Badger to escort ~Col. Richardson in the hall. Mr. Jos. Sprott, Jr., offered the fol Sowing resolution: "Resolved that the nomination of Auditor and Treasurer be submitted to the primary election, and that the executive committee is hereby required to arrange for the same at the General Primary." Just at this juncture Col. Richardson ap peared in the hall. He was greeted with tremendous cheers. Being ac quainted by the Chair with the action of the convention, Col. Richardson made an earnest, feeling speech. When Col. Richardson arose -he was prevented from speaking for sev eral minutes, by the number of peo pie, who, wvding to hear him, were crowding into the Hall. When quiet was restored, Col. Richardson began by saying, it expressed very feebly his feelings when he said this honor done him, had touched his heart very deeply-especially as it was offered him under Deculiar circumstances. He had not come, said Col. Richard son, on an electioneering tour, but to vindicate himself from some charges made behind his back-and made here in his old home of Clarendon--the home for one hundred and fifty years of his ancestors-(applause) charges, he said, which the originators them selves knew were false. He knew the good people of Clarendon too well to think that their sense of justice had so far left them, that they would think he had acted treacherously to them (applause) The charges he referred to, was that he was opposed to the "Farmers' movement" and had so de clared himself in a speech delivered some weeks prior at Summerton. "I challenge the language," said he. and dare any man to show when or where, by word or deed, I ever opposed the farmers in aught that pertained to their welfare. He was a farmer him self-his ancestors had never been anything else than farmers, and he had always done his best for the farm ing interests of the county-(ap plause) Col. Richardson referred to: his efforts for the County and the De mocracy of the State in the days when the black hosts of Chamberlain andi his crew paraded the country, when no woman was safe from insult, no: a..y property safe from danger, and asked if he had been found wanting~ then- (continued applause) "No! he was there then, and would al-ways be there when the Democracy of South Carolina needed him, and the charge that he was treacherous to the- true interests of Clarendon Coun ty-the home of his boyhood-was1 after repeating his denial, resumet his seat amid tumultuous applause He was visibly excited and spoke witi great feeling. After Col. Richardson's speech, the point was raised as to the power o the convention to elect a count. chairman. The chair ruling in tho affirmative, Mr. Jos. Sprott, Jr., nom inated Mr. James K Davis for the po sition. No other nominations beinc made, Mr. Davis was elected by ac clamation. The following gentlemei compose the Executive Committee: Jno. S. Wilson, Clarendon. F. T. Fischer, Cross Roads. Anderson Mills, Deep Creek. S. J. McFaddin, Fork. . H. Belser, Friendship. L. H. Deschamps, Fulton. John Cole, Harmony. Jos. F. Rhame, Manning. F. P. Cooper, Midway. S. R. Chandler, Mott's. W. D. Gamble, New Zion. B. L. Gowdy, New Town. J. E. Tindal, Packsville. E. G. DuBose, Sammy Swamp. W. D. McFaddin, Sandy Grove. R M. McKnight, Summerton. Bethel Club was not represented. The convention decided by a voti of 62 against 17, in favor of the pri mary plan of making nominations Dr. Woods, representing the New Zi on Club, which was solid for "Con vention," made a telling speech. Hi declared primaries were sufficient t< sap the patriotism of any country The following resolutions effectial this plan were passed: 1st. That the primary plan o making nominations by the majorit; rule, be and hereby is adopted for th< purpose of making county nomina tions for Clarendon County, the pres ent year. 2nd. That the County Executivi Committee is charged with the dut: of formulating and publishing th< rules and regulations for said primar election, and with the duty of enforc ing such rules and regulations. The next in order was the electioi of delegates to the State Convention Before the ballotting commenced Mr. James E. Tindal rose and state< that he had been opposed to Col Richardson for Governor for the reas on that he and others had been lea< to believe that Col. Richardson wa opposed to the farmers' movement but that after what Col. Richardsoi had said, he had withdrawn his oppo sition. Mr. Tindal said, in conclus ion, that now, with Col. Richardson ii their favor, Clarendon had bee won to the farmers' movement Messrs. James K Davis, D. W. Brails ford, Jno. I. Ingram, Jos. F. Rhame C. S. Land, and G. M. Hicks, wer< elected on the first ballot. The dele gates were clothed with power to fi any vacancy that may occur in th< delegation. Messrs. Jno. C. Ingram C. S. Land, J. E. Davis. H. H. Les esne, Jno. S. Wilson, and B. S. Din kins, were elected, by acclamatiori delegates to the Congressional Con vention, with the power to supply va cancies in the delegation. Mr. R. I Smith, by permission, read a nove communication, signed by three gen tiemen, published el1s e w her urging the convention ta recogniZe the right of the salem see tion of the county to select one coun tv commissioner and a member of thi General Assembly. -This remnarkabi proceeding elicited considerable dis cussion, but as soon as it went befor< the House it was very properly sumt marily rejected. The rest of the business of the meeting consisted in passing resolu tions and endorsing candidates. Mr Sprott, renewing his resolution as ti auditors and - treasurers, it wa promptly adopted. At the instanc of Mr. James E. Tindal, a resolutioi was carried, recommending that th< delegates to the .State Convention ad vocate the primary plan of nominat ing the Congressmen from the sixtl district. A resolution, on the motioi of R. 0. Purdy, Esq., was passed, en dorsing Col. Jos. H. Earle for Attor ney General. On motion of G. .A Huggins, Esq., Col. John Peter Rich~ ardson was endorsed for Governor The convention then adjourned sin die. Immediately afterward the Count; Executive Committee held a meetini and appointed the 31st of August a the time for holding the primar; election. Mr. James E. Davis wa elected chairman of the committee and J. S. Wilson, Esq., Secretary. Col. Richardson Speaks Out IN FAVOR OF THE REPEAL OF THE LIE LAW, THE Est-ALIZATION OF AssMss MENTS AND THE COLLEGE AND CrrADEL-THE FARMiRS' COLLEGE. yo the Editor of the .Netes and Cou rier:-I read at the time of its appear ance your editorial of July 15, enti tied "The next Governor-No leap in the dark," in which you called o: the candidates for the Gubernatoria office for an open expression of thei views on the various questions o public policy. As it met with no response on th< part of any of the candidates for the position, thbe letter in your issue o: July 20, purpoted to set forth the views of Governor Sheppard, having been without signature, and having been neither authoritatively disavow ed nor accepted by him. I' had con cluded to await another opportunity making known my own views and po sition. In your editorial, however. od yesterday, you make two statements which, if not corrected, are calculated to injure my candidacy. The first o: these, that I am hardly maintainine the lead which I appeared to have, is, I have every reason from my latest advices, to believe a mistake. The other, that "one of the positive elements in Governor Sheppard's fa vor is the unqualified declaration of his opinions on some of the mosi i people," I have already shown to be . an error, since the unattested utter 1 ances of an anonymous correspondent cannot be accepted as "an unqualified declaration" of Governor Sheppard's f opinions, he being free at any time - present or future, to disavow the )views attributed to hin. - That there may be, however, no - misapprehension as to my views on, the important questions alluded to, I - will state them as briefly and clearly i as possible. The questions of vital interest to the people of the State at present are the repeal or maintenance of the lein law, the assessment of property, and public education. As regards the lein law, though or iginally in favor of its enactment as a measure of relief to a large portion of our farming class, observation of its operation has forced me to the opinion that its maintenance is in compatible with the true interest of those it was intended to assist, and I believe that it should be repealed at the earliest practicable moment. The present system of assessment of property for taxation is admittedly defective, and measures should be a taken at once to so alter and modify - the system as to make it simpler and more equitable. The Citadel Academy has always - received my warm support. Whatev a er mar have been the wisdom or in y expediency of its re-establishment, there is no doubt in my mind as to the wisdom of its continuance. It is performing a most useful and neces f sary work, and affording a valuable r education to a class of our citizens greatly in need of the assistance thus - given them. I am heartily in favor of - its continuance. I am a firm supporter of the Uni a versity as now organized and manag ed. The farmers of the State, among whom I have always been proud to - class myself, form the bone and sinew of the country, and any proposition looking to their advancement and progress will always have my hearty support. As to the Agricultural Col l lege, the establishment of which is suggested, it is difficult to express an - opinion. It may result in great good. It certainly will add considerably to s the heavy burden of taxation our peo ple are now bearing. It is for the taxpayers of the State, cof whom the - farmers are the large majority, to say - whether they are willing to bear the certain burden for the probable, ben efit. This question is one of policy and not of principle-and I can only - say that I am ready heartily to work , for the efficiency of such an institu tion should the people. who bear all - the burdens of taxation, decide that it 1 should be established. My views on prominent national questions have been expressed so of ten that I will not repeat them here, - more especially as I do not regard , them as having any particular bearing - on the present issue. Thanking you for the use of your . columns, I am, respectfully, J. P. RIcl~uwsoN. - Columbia, July 29, 1886.

Respectfully, J. M. KNIGHT, Da. I. M. Woons, R. E. SMrr, s Committee. One Country, one Party, one People. .My good friends of Clarendon County. s GETiENu~~: An infant nation, when just emerged from her struggle for in dependence into the light of liberty, adopts by necessity, the one party system. Why is this? It is simply because her people dare not differ - seriously as to some correct form of - government, (here majorities and mi - norities meet together as equals) as S their mutual dependence naturally I unites and compels them to be a unit 1 for their mutual safety. In their con r test for a country, their dependence f. inspires a confidence in each other. In their council for framing a form of government, that same 'dependence forces them to be governed by a sim filar confidence. And what is best for a nation in her adversit, is more than apt to be good for her in her prosper ity. Here party spirit is hushed by the voice of necessity, as was the case in the formation of a Democratic forty of government for these Uinited State's of America. But when prosperity comes with her lap filled with all that is needed for a people, then self inter est sneaks into this eden of happi ness with policy and strife as her com panions, and they jointly and togeth er, 1ill the whole land with party spir 4it, which is sure to ripen into discord. What a pity that human nature, in stead of wisdom, too often guides, shapes and governs the fate of n tions! The one party system disarms State and national prejudices, and I unites a whole people in beart hand and sentiment. \Vho would not prefer a State or country, "united and free" to one that is cut up in discord ant factions, by that fell mon ster, called party spirit? Who would tenderly nurse this "common enemy of man?" Who would not rather be ruled by the people, as a whole, than by a successful party? There can be no excuse whatever, for party spirit in this country, as we live in a Republic, founded upon the rights of all. I fail to see anything more certain than the rapid growth of discord in a State or country, where two or more parties seem to take root and ingloriously thrive. The unsound doctrine that parties purify and make each other better, is about as correct in principle as that self-interest ought to be preferred as a foundation for government, in preference to "the rights of man." Human nature is quite too frail indeed, for the rights of all to be respected, wheresovever there exist more parties than one. You had just as well try to put out a fire by adding lighted torches as to endeavor to stop discord in the midst of conflict ing parties. It is impossible to get just constitutions and wholesome laws, when the minds of men are led by policy and fed on party spirit. Two or more parties cannot be right (hu manly speaking) in every particular. All of them are more than apt to be wrong in some particulars, as the very existence of parties will be sure to en gender a selfish rivalry, which is the parent of policy, strife, and discord. The Democratic form of government, as founded by our fathers, is the best in the world. It is exactly suited to the white man. A noble emulation within the limits of this party, (which is really our lawful government) would be the grandest and most sublime of all rivalries on the face of this earth. When we look back to the past, that history teaches us, that the white man alone is capable of self-government. All other races ought to be ruled by monarchs. Policy shall never hinder me from either writing or speaking the whole truth. Hamilton, Webster, and Clay were great and good men. They were not radicals. They were Whigs, or what we nowadays denom inate as Republicans. Men of their creed, (though their national polity is quite too strong for the white man) are as sincere and as patriotic as it is possible for mortals to be. I very mneh fear that Mr. Hamilton's strong form of government (though not at all intentional) was the foundation of parties in this country. When men begin to differ after they have agreed upon a form of government, the voice of wisdom is almost sure to be hush ed in the storm of confusion. We have nothing to fear from the Democratic party of this country, if it be true to itself and the teacbings of our fathers. Uusullied it came from the hands of our ancestors. It can never die, as its great heart is the very essence of government. Better, far better, that it be defeated in every election, than that it should descend from that perfection invented by Jef ferson and protected by Calhoun. Once soiled by policy, in order to ride into power, its pure principles (which will live for ever) must then take ref uge in its patriotic heart, whilst its body will be sure to become another party. "Evil communications corrupt good manners." We should move very slowly, cautiously and logically, when forced to differ from those whom we know to be our friends. In conclusion I womuld say, that the want of "free trade" or duties in favor of the greatest number of consumeis, is indeed an iron hand laid upon the people. But the outragious exactions of the lien and percentage laws, add greatly to the oppression, and should not be lost sight of by the good peo ple of South Carolina. What! has it come to this, that the notes of the people of South Carolina are utterly worthless? "0 tell it not in Gath !", Does the State require or exact liens at their hands? Does she compel her tax gatherers to collect any duties on taxes (her additional tax on default ers is more properly a fine) at the por' s of the lien and percentage laws? If the State can trust her people, is it not a shame that she does not force capital to credit labor? The whole business is nothing but a conflict be tween capital and labor. Reinstate the credit system at all hazards, (it will encourage honesty) and justice will then meet out to every man his due. Yes, and pity will wipe away the tears of sorrow from her eyes, and mercy will "shout for joy." Let the Farmers organize, (help each other, whether in their organizrtion or not), and rent land to each other at fifty) cents an acre, then our Legislature -will rise in its majesty, and extend to them the right hand of the State fo South Carolina. I- dare not raise my voice against the homestead law, as. the people need, just now, all the legal* helps which the Legislature can afford to bestow. Let all hands "put their shoulders to the wheel," and our good old State will again be what she was! in the brightest days of her glory. Your follow-citizen, Jonx L. E.STERUNxG.. TONSORIAL ARTIST.
