In leaving the bench sad appearing upon the rostrum, Judge Mackey, in oar opin> fthe delegates will look only to the public good, preferring that to the pro motioh of personal or local favorites they can do their work satisfactorily to the great moss of the democracy.

S5» mM mad Abase. Dome Ru This venomoas old slnnor has been very basy in our county for the past two weeks, endeavoring to sow the seeds of disseusicn among tho Demo oracy. She has reported that monstrous coalitions have 1)600 formed, and that dead sectional issues are to be revived without the slightest ground, and, unfor tunately, too many people are ready to believe her absurd stories. With tho set Element of the vexed Court House ques tion accepted as final by the Democ racy ofHhe dburity, and by none more heartily than by those formerly favoring Blackville, there is now no local or sectional issue to divide our people. Let ouf Convention only give us a good ticket and the victory is assured. Up to the lt»ih instant over 8700,000 had been contributed by nil sections of the Union for the relief of the fever stricken Southwest. fco tc it i: st i*o w i> n cf.. .

Hutto and I had entered into a combination, having for Us object our election to the Legislature and a re- opefiing of the Court House question in favor of Blackville/’ I desire to assure you, in tho most positive terms, that this ritmor is without the slightest* foundation in fact. It is the creation of some unprincipled, mendacious enemy or of some incipient lunatic. I have never met Major Hutto more than ouce or twice, and our interviews have been very brief and confined to ordinary con versational topics. I have never entered Into combina* tions in political or business matters, and I never shall engage in such dirty work,- I love the Democratic party too well and have too lUtlo personal ambition to peril It» success by any conspiracy for revenge or individual or local preferment; Vpry respectfully, &c., Jqun W.

Slate and National News. misgovemmenfc. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. B. Lartigue. Slander and AbuNC. (Frura tho Columbia Register. J la our editorial yesterday we made Incidental allusion to the slanderous- charges against public men, which have become entirely too comtnou In many localities. There was a time in South Carolina when the private char acter of an individual was regarded with srtnctlty, even though ho should offer for the suffrages of his fellow-cit izens, and the mero fact of his being a candidate was not deemed suClcient warrant for the defamation ot his good name. But we fear that tho demorali zation of the times has infected the public mind with a prurient disposition to retail slanderous reports concerning their neighbors, especially when tho aforesaid neighbors are made a target for the shafts of calumny and detrac tion by reason of their occupying pub lic position or allowing their names to be used in connection with public office. Our attention has been frequently drawn to this lamentable feature iu recent politics, and in almost every county the most absurd reports have been put in circulation as to the private or public acts of one or more of the candidates. In Pickens county, wo remember, It was charged the Anderson, Oconee and Greenville delegations were visited last Winter by a self-con stituted committee, with tbe purpose of ascertaining the relative status of the members from Pickens, and that it was tbe unanimous opinion of tbe gentleman from the other counties that it would never do to send Messrs. Bradley and Bowen back to tho Legis- ature. Mr. Bowen was not a candi date for re-election, and this ridicu lous report was aimed to defeat Mr. Bradley, who was an aspirant for the Senatorial nomination. A prompt de nial from the delegations named gave assurance that thero was not a sem blance of truth in the rumor, as every one of them held Mr. Brad ley In the highest esteem as a gentle man and a legislator, and for a time t*e preposterous suggestion was plain- ly defeated. But just preceding the primary election, the most absurd story was put iu circulation that Brad- ey was the author of tho first report, and that it was an electioneering scheme on his part. This silly canard was al so put to rest hy the certificates of responsible gentleman, who completely exculpated Mr. Bradley from such an unfounded -charge. It is needless to add that the Pickens Democracy fur-« ther vindicated Mr. Bradley by nomina ting him for the Senate. In another county a candidate tor tbe Legislature visited a Coufitry church. In a few days it was reported that he had gone there wkh a jug of whiskey, enticed a largo number of voters away from the preaching, and rad conducted himself In a most shameful manner—all of which was made out ef whole cloth. He succeed ed Iu coynteracting the report, which was used greatly to his detriment, but but htrange to say that iu the neighor- iood of the church, where the truth could bo easily ascertained, he received a meagre vote In the primary election on account of this baseless charge against.him. Another Instance Is the case of a candidate, who has been a rigid tem- )eranco man for many years, and a consistent member of the church, who was greatly injured by the report that io had become addicted to the use of iquor, and was unfit for the transac tion of public business. Such an un bunded report astonished all who knew him. We might enumerate many other in stances, but these are sufficient to point the moral we would enforce. This spirit of envy and detraction is a curse to any country, and when the politics of a people becomes saturated with such vicious disposition, it will not be before decent and capable men Lexington wants a new jail. The Greenback party has com menced organizing in Fairfield county. One hundred thousand bushels of corn were destroyed in Kershaw coun ty by a freshet In tho Wateree river. Gen. G. T. Beauregard declines to run as tbe National-Greenback candi date for Treasurer in Louisiana against Maj. E. A. Burke. Francis L. Cardozo, ex-Stato Treas urer of South Carolina, Is a first class clerk In the money order division of the Sixth Auditor’s office. In Lexington, Dr. Gerhard Muller and Muj. Godfrey Leaphart have been nominated in the primary election for re-election to the House of Represen tatives. The Donaocratlc party in Richland county favors the early re-establish ment of the South Carolina University, but the Democracy of the State at large differs, and Intends to continue differing. Orangeburg has nominated a strong ticket for the Legislature : M. J. Kel ler, J. T. Shumaker, J. S. Bowman, W. C. Hane and B. G. Frederick, colored. We hope Thdx Gen. Izlar will be victo rious In this campaign, and senfl thorn to Columbia. Eugene Hale, a distinguished Re publican Congreesional whipper-in, has been beaten by Mr. Murich, a candi date of the National party, who boasto that he ia not worth a dollar, and has not entered a school house since he was 10 years of age. The Democrats of Anderson, S. C., will attend all the Republican meetings in the county, and divide time with the speakers. They are forming moun ted “bloody-shlrt” clubs, having a fla ming red shirt for uniform, and have urged tbe negroes to join with them in a grand display parade at Andersen on the 5th of October. Ou tho 18th Inst., tho Aiken county Democratic Convention nominated the following gentleman for the Legisla ture: James Aldrich, John M. Bell, Thomas J. Davis and J. G. Brodie. Mr. Aldrich, who is a native of Barn well, recelv^J 131 votes out of 13€—a deserved compliment to a worthy gen tleman. Senator Patterson says that ho Shall hold on to his seat iu the Senate until his term expires, on the 4th of March. He thinus the next Legislature of South Carolina will be four-Ufths Dem ocratic, and that the Congressional del egation will be solidly Democratic. Ho docs not expect to return to South Carolina for the present, but after next March will go back to his old homo In that Stato.—Wash. Letter. Marion Star: A meeting of the cit izens of Marion county residing on the western side of the Great Pee-Dee was held at Hymansville, on the 7th. Res olutions were adopted instructing the delegates to the DemocraCtic Conven tion to instruct tho members of the Legislature to vote for tho division of the county. They propose a new county, to bo formed out of portions of Marlon and adjoining counties on the western banks of the Pee-Dee. Ma Edtjob ; Penult me the use of the columns of your paper to bring befoie tb© public the name of this pub- llc-eplrlted citizen as a gentleman In every sense worthy and qualified to represent the county of Barnwell in the next Legislature. In ptlaco or in war, in prosperity or adversity, he has ever pledged and given hissaored hon or to the best interests of his poustry, and bis past life as a citizen has dear ly and fully cstabMehed that his highest teitrltlon has been to seek, by every appropriate means, to advance the public good. We feel confident the pe cuniary, intellectual, social and reli gious interests of the country irill not only be safe, but vrill be Improved by sending such men to tbe Legislature. This gentleman Is not made of such plastic stuff that ho may be moulded into any form to suit the taatee and in terests of designing demagogues, but he has independency of mind, does his own political thinking, and prescribes his own political course. There is, in our opinion, no post of public trust that may not safely be committed to his care. We do sincerely wish and hope that the delegates sent up v to the next Convention will nominate fore most Thomas R. Ayer to represent Barnwell county in the next Legisla ture. 8. C. B. R. September IGth, 1878. Reply to AimIHc Give*. Mr. Editor : Please allow me space in your columns to say to tho people of Barnwell county that had not the communication of “ Audite Gives” been written from Allendale and cou pled with certain oral statements, I would never have supposed that It was intended to refer to me, as the points made by your correepondent cannot even by distortion address themselves to me, and I'cheerfully leave it to the verdict of the people to judge between me and my accuser. ^ Your correspondent, in the opening of his communication, remarks “That public men can have no honest motives to conceal their acts.” In thl© I agree with him, feeling satisfied that I have faithfully and conscientiously dis charged my duty to my people. I do now, and always have, courted tho freest and fullest investigation of my public record, well knowing that I have all to gain and nothing to lose by it, and a thorough investigation of the instance In question would satisfy, I am confident, any impartial tribunal that I have done my doty—nothiug more and nothing loss. The communication to which I ad replying dealing bnly in inferences, and there being no specific charges, I do not feel called upon to give it a more extended hotice. ■ J L. W.
