PBIMAKY ELECTIONS. “Upon all Public and General Q,uestione the People Ever are in tho Risht.”— William Uenry Drayton in 17715- Tins utterance by one of South Caro lina's most gifted and earnest patriots, prior to the signing of th - declaration of independence, conveyed at that time a com prehensive and aggressive idea pf political and personal liberty. A century of sue eessful Republican government by an Anglo iSaxcn race has converted this advanced theory into a fundamental principle of Re publican government and a po!iiical axiom of as undeniable truth as any laid down in Euclid. The people both in theory and in practice are the actual sovereigns in this country. Their will may sometimes be circumvented by the skillful manifestations of cliques and associations upon the weak chords of human nature, but as sure as the night succeeds the day just so sure will the reaction inevitably come which will sweep a tv ay and utterly annihilate the peripatetic intiucnce of those who have deceived or overthrowu them The very essencp of Re publican goyernment, as founded on De mocracy, may be expressed i i one short phrase viz. “the rule of the people.” This of course does not aypiy when a re public is built upon an' aristocracy like Venice and Genoa for such governments soon dwindle into oligarchy and finally ex pire in the arms of monarchy. The “rule of the people” or in other words a Democrat ip Republic, in spite of all the argument that jealousy can hurl against it, is beyond a doubt - the most dir vine inspiration of Qod to man on the sub ject of government, affording more personal and political liberty than any other mode of government ever designed for the con trol and happiness of meek humanity. If then the “rule of the people” is sucli an important integer in the structure ol oust governmental svstem, why is it that cliques and small politicians arc continually striving to circumvent or evade this true source of all power? Why is it necessary that the Democratic party of <L;s State should have recourse to conventions to nominate candidate" when the people, the constituent imits of tiie paify, are the true and only power, and have an inalienable right to indicate directly by their ballots who they wish as public servants? Is it net reasonable to suppose that a compa: n- tivcly small body of men like a county con vention is more easily operated on by un due influences than the people at large when exercising individually their rijjht of suffrage ? Is it not probable that the heat and excitement engendered in the mind of an unsuccessful aspirant before a comity convention, is more apt to break out into the .fires of discord, than if the decision was rende ed by the united ballots of the rank and file of the party? The people will be called upon in the near future to choose their public servants for another two years and .ve caution the people, the Democratic people of this splendid young county, to stand fast in their ranks, and i r.t to delegate she power of nominating party candidates to a convention when they can do it more efficiently them.-e’.ves by the sini]’V.* oi ih«» O n .Hot. i—Idea is that at the proper nuie ■».. election should be ordered by the Execu tive fowmitiee throtlct.

Editok Aikejj Journal.—We hove few newspapers out here and' do not know much of what is going on, buft we learn with a little feeling of dismay that our Legislature has met again for the thin} time in less than a year. It js *iou v tles» all right but we remember with satisfaction the thirty days sessions and three dollars pev diem of other days, and we still have faitli in the motto of a newspaper published in the old- times in this county declaring “the best government is that which governs least,” and we feel now ns if we do not want one cents worth more of govemm >nt than we cau possibly do without. We therefore hope and trust our distinguished members of the legislature will push their investiga tions to a close with Hie least delay com patible with the public good. And all this, the more on account of thr great tidal wave of investigation that threatens to cugulph all the oocnpitions of this country, a wave that set in with the Beecher investigation and which excited our disgust long before the United States Senatorial Committee in terrogated our domestics concerning onr remarks r.t our dinner tables in regard to the Ellcntnn affair. It is true 1 have made an effort to conquer my repugnance to their investigations ns far as regards the matter of the^^blic de* t, but my opportunities for getting information are so limited that I cannot form tiny opinion about it, and i wish to state my case to you to ask if there is any hope of my getting relief in ease the legislature succeed in ordering the payment of the old debt dollar for dollar in gold. My unde, although not a rich man, in 18til gave $1,000 in gold for a bond of the State Carolina, he went into the State militia and was kitlcl in the Stony Hill fight. At his sale in 1800 l paid §700 in greenbacks for the bond. 1 also bought a small farm at the same time and went to work to do my best to n ake a living foi my large and growing family. Now whep the bayonet government took possession of the State you know how badly everything went. In a word niy help stole everything from me and there was no law whatever to convict a thief. At last my place was advertised by the tax collector ami as the only means of raising money 1 had to sell bond. No body seemed tc want it, I ut after somo de lay a broker got rid of it for me for §400, He .'aid he sold It to one of our wealthiest carpet bag statesmen who being flush of money was pilling to pay a little more for a thine than its market value. Now this was very hard qn pie and harder still on the orphan children of my uncle, pho had not only spent his money for the Slate hut had also laid dpwu his life in her defence. What I want to know is does the legislature propose in paying these old bonds dollar for dollar, to pay me back the three hun dred dollars I loot and my uncle’s family the three hundred dollars he lost, if so it is no more than just and proper. But if they mean to give that wealthy carpet bagger who now holds that bond a bonus of §000 on his repudiation and rascality and as a reward for all the ruin and misery he has wrought to me and mine I shall never con sent to it; but 1 will always denounce it as the crowning outrage of all that I have suf fered.

I. The weather being very fine, most of the party went bathmg, and among the number a maiden of perhaps eighteen snniiners, who had accompanied her grandfather on the trip Dcsiiing seclusion, she went round a point away from the other bathers, a d, being known as a bold swimmer, is sup posed to have taken a header into deep water. However taken, it proved to have been a plunge into the arms of death, for when the swimmers reassembled around the camp fire the girl was missed, and, not withstanding a diligent search that even ing. could not be found. The following moruing, with sad hearts, the party left; but very soon those in the fo'emost canoe, fin rouuuipg the first point, saw (the water being oalm and clear) a hitman body as if sealed on the sandy sea bottom, with what soerr.c i like a flour bag immediately behind it. The natives knew what this meant As soor. as the canoes got logether, two of the most active young men managed with daggers to disable (he monster (for it was a gigantic devil fish) that the octopus with its victim was brought to tho surface, The loregoiug facts have been communi cated to our informant by an intelligent mid respectable halt breed woman from Metchosen. who saw the body of the drown ed girl with so.'-ie of the- prehensiies of the tnoliisk ili adhering io it. .81ie compared the head of the octopus in size to that of a fifty pound flour sack, full; and said that the tentacles were twelve in number, of different sizes, and the largest about the circumference of a man’s arni. SHERIFF'S SALES. A PERFECTED COTTON HARVESTER. Mr. C. R. Smith, of Raleigh, N. C., has invent]* 1 and patented a cotton picker winch promises to work a revolution in the harvesting of cottop, and it is said will do tiie work of one hundred laborers in the field. The machine is about the size and weight of a two-horse wagon, and is upon three wheels, the centre .one running be tween two rows and the other two outside of them. The two driving wheels from which is worked the machinery, are high enough to carry everything above the cot ton. The front wheel is about half the height, and worlds under the machine on a pivot joint, to which arc attached the horses, which walk between the rows. The picking machinery consists of two hundred finger shaped cards on jndia-rubbe 1 , work ing up and down through the stalks as the machine advances These cards will not take holt) of anything but the lint of tho open cotton, and lakes that whether it is upon the ground or (he top of tlje stalk. Leaves, twigs and hulls, will not stick to them, but the cotton touched ip ever so small a degree iusfantly adheres, and not l«t go until brushed off at the lop by ;i brusher, wh nee it is taken on an apron of bands and deposited in a receptacle to the rear in a light straight form, entirely free from dirt. The whole machine is reduced to iis lowest simplicity, has adjustable parts, is very durable and easily managed. The driver by leaning back in bjs s*)! 1 con stop the picking in order jo drive to the place of deposit and unload. This is done without throwing the wheels out of gear. The harvester is estimated to pick out the cotton at the cost of one dollar per bale, and in every way is a complete machine, as has been proved by practical use Mr. Smith proposes introducing his machine as thoroughly practicable i'er the ensuing crop, and to this end will sell it in each of (he pottqn States aj manufacturer’s cost, $200, so as to establish its worth, although $300 is the price. Or the patentee will sell in whole or in part his invention, taking a "mall D- r cent. iu. cash with the balance to he made on* of the machine.
