Tbe late county convention acted wisely In temUtlng to the pre cinct clubs tbe question of tbe adop tion dt the primary election system, Their decision will be final and ac- •cepted as ssttafactory by tbe losing iparty. This delay has given an op portuolty for examination Into the merits abd demerits of the proposed change, and if adopted now it will be with a dearer understanding of Its ad vantages and an ability to guard against errors Into which hasty action would baVeprobably led Its advocates and tbe party generally. Wo think that some of the upper oountlea In their hasty adoption of the plan have failed to properly arrange the details ^or a satisfactory execution of Its In tention. tt la the purpose of the sys tem, as generally understood, to ascer tain the tml of the people In the moet satisfactory manner and to prevsat og-roUlng and wlre-pftlling of the cnUon system. If the primary election pUn can better secure these ends It will be acceptable to all the people ekeept the wire-pullers, log- rollers and their henchmen; but if from any cause it tails to accomplish these results It only aggravates tho very evils it was intended to cure. The Aisoontent prevalent In tbe ranks of >ur democracy Is due more largely to he lively interest felt in public affairs by the great mass of our party than to tony oU»sr cause. The people now re cognise this as their government, and they are determined to maintain Its purity to perfect the reforms already inaugurated, and to held every public tjftioer to a stHct discharge of his du ties, and with this proper motive they are turning to the considers) Ion of the best jn&hoiis for preserving party unity and thus securing the best poe- blble government. The democracy etlll recognize aa a cardinal principle the voice of a majority as tbe law of tbe party, and when this popular will on any measure Is ascertained party ranks will dose up with the elbow touch, for In the present au Independent demo crat is an enemy to tbe cause of hon esty and home rule. In ,the ufcper above referred to the conven- bave decided that the candidates vlng the highest number of votee ifie primary elections shall be. the party nomlneess. The adoption of this provision will probably defeat the very purposes for which they have the primary plan, for When a number of candidates for any are lq the field no one .of them vea majority of tbe deifjo- cratlo vote and our party government becomes one of minorities rather than -Cl majorities. The conventions Were influenced, perhaps, by the dehire to avoid the “trouble” of frequent elec- lions, but our State government Is a beggarly one If the benefits conferred by democratic sdtnioihtralloQ will not compensate the people for the "trouble” of attending Ml extra elec tion. No man deserves'or should de- hire a party nomiuatlott uoftfct Ne is the first ohoioe of a majority of ltd members and the very measure In tended to save “trouble” will, It is to be feared, bring greater difficulties In the future upon tbe democracy of the counties In which it has been adopted than they are now facing. It is not too late to remedy the evil and the sooner they retrace their steps the better. Iloivcrslly of South Carolina. The following parngrspl} from the columns of the Darlington Southerner deserves more than a passing notice at our hands. „ , We state as a matter .of importance to many of our citizens, whose lands have been forfeited, that tholrlands maybe re deemed by the payment of the taxes of last year and of this year, without costs and' penal) i*s and without pnylntf previous back taxes—and this can be. dpnq either In cur rency or in stamped bills of tho bank of the State. Th1« privilege will be extend ed to Slst^rf October, after which day all’ lands not so redeemed, will be restored to the Hat of forfeited lands, with all unpaid back texes, cast and penalties,-and will then be sold aa tbe property of tho .State. There should be as little delily as poatrtblft, as the bills of the Bank will probably ad vanoe In price. * , We decidedly protest against the propagation of any such principles and practices, The Dills of the Bank of tbe Btate are undoubtedly valid obligations binding upon our people. So far aa the legal aspect of the obligation ap pearing upon their face Is concerned they constitute a debt which the courts will not hesitate to enforce. But with regard to the moral nature of the ob ligations we huro little hesitation In saying that it sits lightly on our con science. To what estent they have been fraudulently reissued under Rad ical rule after being called In for can cellation It is now Impossible to deter mine. These bills have kng ceased to rep resent the claims of bona fide credi tor, Inasmuch as they are now almost entirely In the bauds of speculative holders, who originally bought them for a merely nominal consideration. Our battle-scathed and plundered peo ple are called upon to moot the under takings of past days ofhjTiy 8td extravT agancs of which the Dank of the State was then, and Its dead body is now the damning exponent. Tl^ey are called upon at a time wfien their scanty earning>, barely sufficient to sustain themselves and families In honorable poverty, are subjected to the strain of heavy taxes imposed upon them for the maintenance of the State’s finan cial honor at homo and abroad. The eraascipation of our btate from financial embarrassment can only bo successfully accomplished by each and every citizen honorably and eqltably Judge Wm. JI.

But it may be said that it is perfectly legitimate to redeem one’s land for- fsited to tbe State by taking advan tage of any legal position. “Weeny it Is not. No man has a right to shirk bts share of common dangers, burdens or sacrifices. Tbe very fact of these lands being forfeited is pilma facie evidence against the owners of duties neglected and common obligations avoided in the past to the detriment and oppression of their more conscien tious fellow citizens. The opportunity of redemption on easy terms too mercifully tendered to past delinquents is a great boon and one fo^wblch they ought to be thank ful It might have been so .quellfled as to operate only In esse of legal ten der.

The Dem ocratic members why had been absent or paired_on Monday last, when the resolution was offered, had since then been recalled to the city, or had given notice of the termination of their pairs, and to-day there were present In the House, free fron? entangling al liances 148 Democratic members, in cluding the speaker.

Not a single Republican mem ber had his vote recorded, and but two Democratic members (Mills, of Texas, and Morse, of Massachusetts,) voted In the negative. - Tbe affirmative vote was 145, aqd the preamble and resolu tion were declared adopted. There wQtt a good deal of confusion, uproar and excitement throughout tbe day. but no demonstration attended the announcement of the result. Mr. Stephens did not vote as be was paired. . .. . An Incldenloceurfed over this ques tion of pairs which at one time threat ened to be serious. Goode, of Vir ginia, bad been paired with Loring, of Massachusetts, who was in tbe city bat sick, and when Goode stated the fact that he had given notice to DLr. Loring, of the VrrolualloD p? the pair ude and that Odder the circumstances be foil it his duty to vote, a sneering re mark that it was simply a question of honor was made by Conger, of Michi gan. Goode replied with a strong feel ing oUndlgnatioB, that he could take care of hla own honor, and that If Con ger assailed it, he (Goode) would bold him to a personal responsibility. The response .-’fts loudly applauded on the Democratic ki^e, and was received with jeer and con emptuou* laughter on tbe Ropublicaa side; Conger re. marking sarcastically that Goode's threat was making him tremble In his boots. Goode’s remark was objected to by Editor of The PeoHi : It is very amusing to notice the arguments pro and eon cp the subject of primacy elec tions. Wo give an .extract or two as samples^ the Florence‘‘Times,” an ad vocate of the system, observes: . “There is one feature of-the proposed system, however, that b hard to realize as truly Democratic, that is tbe oath regulation. It is to be regretted that Democrats ns wcU as Republicans have -to whip themselves into the party lir\c.” The Orangeburg ‘-Times,” per con tra, remarks: “Any one, who will study the plan, can readily see how wirepullers and^ Anowing ones may easily find a pretext to make null aud void any.primary election and cause. a new one to be ordered, and thus by re- peating the process tire the people, out until they refuse to attend the, po(ls.” The VYalhalla Courier, in favor of the -primary, thus sums up against the con vention system “Tho .plan Ijy dele gates is objectionable. It is not Demdi cratic. ’tho nominees are most always the choice of a few- leading minds or of a combination formed by the friends of the two or three candidates-who manip ulate the local clubs and secure delegat es favorable to them.” - . Now, Mr. Editor, to what result does all this tend btfts to the conviction that any innovation upon tbe established in< stitutions of the land is attended with danger to the true ini crests, and to the liberties of the people, the moment they subscribe the “gag” pledges or oaths, surrender into the hands of wireipullers and political tricksters, whose names they do not even know, the sovereignty of the ballot, and confess themselves either too igporant or too careless to ap preciate those blessings pf political free dom which have made the United States the envy of the world. They confeas their institalions a failure, and acknowl edge, after a national existence of a short Century, that a “novelty,” the na ture vfi whk*>lhcy kne-v wotkruc, must be gifted up-on the institution?, to save them from what—daugc-" from without ‘ No, but rascalities within (heir own bore ders. Both tampons and mo ns must bo bad. "Vour correspondent, “A Citizen,” in your last wc^’s issue, struck the true chord. “If U is tbe duty of the citizen to exercise tlrqelective franchise it is certainly his Suty, ip our opinion, to dq so vt-ith integrity and discretion. Tliia franchise can only be exercised with in- tegrity when a citizen votes according to his honest convictions; _ v/ith dis cretion, wher^Xhean convictions arc the result of matwc judgment and au on. lightened conscience.” . What room is there for the exercise of judgement or conscience when tl>e vofer has sworn to vote for a s^m body whose very name is in the wocative ? When, with | “loyalty,’ ’ more Qu ixotic than prudeu^hp has surrendered bis “judgment" “consclente” to the custody of hia “party.” This is “weld ing” us togclfe' with a vengeance, and, if successful, will go far to prove the w onderful malleability cf Amfrican char' acter.

ArgwvneBt fbr E*«*ry Eaws. We were yesterday told the particu lars of a case of a young man who is being eaten up by interest at about as li«ly a rate as though be wore being devoured by a devil fish. Hla case is a reminder of the celebrated horse shoe nail problem. It appears that in 187G the young maa, hot then ©f age, was tho keener of arentanrunt in tbi6 city. Oa oae occasion he required some money, and a IsWyer boarding with him loaned him $50, tbe^young man saying that, as interest on tho sum, he would not charge the lawyer for his>oa*d until he paid bun back bis money. The lawyer said this was all tight, and nextl^jjiy brought the boy a note to be singed by him. In which Int'elest on, tbe fifty dollars was charg ed at the rate of-^1.40 per day. the lawyer saying that thia was about the value of what he wae eating each day. The boy objected strongly to signing it, but was finally induced to put his name to the paper. The lawyer went on eating—the boy not finding' it in his power to keep going and pay the $50—till the restaurant “busted” out. The lawyer stiff kept the note, which was given on the 14th of November, 1876. Finally tho young man, who had gone to some restaurant la town, wae sued on the note by tho lawyer, who obtained judgment, wfih interest at the rate of $1.40 per day. The young man's wages, amounting to 8116, were attached and gobbler!, - yet tbe note was fur from being paid. Now the lawyer is going after his victim again, and the principal and interest amount to just $725.1:0, not saying anything about what the lawyer ate and the$116 begot by attaching the young - man’s wages. Considering that It is not yet eighteen months since the boy; borrowed the $50, we think this hash-house interest far ahead of the devil flsh.-r Ex. * v - • • -4 JJ A . • • - ' Z ' tf’ir .IAS. W.
