Winfield Scott Hanooek of Pennsylvania was unani mouely nominated in an outburst of ssoateneoas enthusiasm which has no parallel or precedent ia the history of the Democratic party—and which is describ ed to here been “the grandest spectacle ever witseMed in e deliberative body, lu every eeetion of the Ueiow, by tbe privates ss well as the leaders of the party the nemination is described u the a row pet that could hare been made. It bee healed all differences sad for the first time ia twenty years the solid party moves against the enemy uuder spotless leaders against whom no whisper of crime or corruption has ever been made The national campaign opens under the most favorable auspices, and (he electioe of our Botaioeea seem' a preduetiued fact of (he future. We are sure that our renders will enjoy the graphic <ie- scriptioa of the 1 supreme moment" which we copy from tbe News sod Courier: s “Before tbe roll of tbe States was called Mr. Peckham, of New Vork, in uooncud that his delegation regarded Hr. Tilden’s late letter as a renunciation of all dnias aad candidacy for the nom ination for President, end that New York placed Speaker Randall ia nomiantion. Alabama led off with tO solid votes for Hancock, and when Uliuois east her ea tire vote for him the excitement became unbounded. North and West and South showed beevy gains for Hancook, but Indiana clung to Hendricks, and Ohio to Thurman, aad New York gars her 70 votes to Randall. Pennsylvania was divided, giving Randall 25 and Hanooek 82. South Carolina voted for Bayard. At tho du«e of tbe call, tbe tally sheets showed that Hancock bed over 800 votes, a majority being from the North sod West, while Biyard had fallen to about 100. Wisoonste changed her vote to Hauoouk amidst wild cheering, and Hay, of Ptaueylvr.nla, then arose end declared that hie State deeirod to record her 58 voles for Hancock. The soeae at tkia moment beggars description. Tbe gui dune marking the scats of tho diffisreot delegations were tore from (heir fasten ings, MeOdl, of Marlboro’, head up and with flashing eyes, dashing to tha front with tba guidon of South Carolina. Arouud the open space before tha chair man's seat the gay banaers waved, while delegates and spectators stood on the scats yelling and hurrahing. It seemed that the Chceriag would (.ever cease. It was the grandest speetaelc over witnessed in a defibrnotive body, tor H was the outcome* not of calculation, arrangement, or of sdflah interest, but of love of lib erty ead lew# ef country. Meanwhile the record of the vote had become so confused that tbe roll whs ordered to be ealUd again, and 738 votes were cast, of which Haaeoek received 705 sud Hendricks SB. Again the wild cheer ing broke ewt, the bewuera Wiving once more, the grand orpsn and An orchestra gea^jig oui 4< Ha3 Columbia" aad‘'Dixie.’’ It wgfdbNf tea msuates before any ap proach to quiet waeaastooed, t ef Neath Southern vote for Hancock, the Union •oldier whom they had met on the field of battle, whom they knew and admired, and under whose leadership they would not be laggards in the fight for Country and Constitution. When the applause had subsided, the Chairman sun Minced that Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock had been unanimously elected tlie Demo cratic President of the United States. This s ip of the tongue was only antici pating events, for elected he will be. In response to the interrogatories of Judge Breckenridge, of Kentucky, the dele gates from New York, Pennsylvania snd Indiana declared themselves able to carry their respeetire States. A finer speech was not made before the Convention than that of Breekeoridge, who, with voice trembling irith emotion, said that the Convention waa legislating not fur the North nor for the Sooth, but for tho whole people, having bent the Sword into the Pruning Hook, with which to gather tbe Harvest of Peace. In con clusion he invoked the blessing of the Almighty upen the candidates. John Kelly, of New York, was then brought into the l.all and took the stand. His attitude was more that of one who forgives than of one who seeks forgive ness. He said that be bad no doubt that bis friends, the sitting delegates, would agree to let past differences be for gotten ; that lie would never again refer to put strife, and that any one who now referred to peat differences should be looked upon as a traitor. Mr. Fellows was called on to speak fjK Irving Hall, and ^iook hands with Kelly on the stand amid shouts of joy He said tbe Convention had removed a differences and healed all dissensions He is our best friend who does moat to carry our flag to victory. He only our enemy who lags in his duty. Infin itely more than all else, tho Convention had strangled the spirit of sectionalism and discord in the Union. Hancock wil hear the roai of Hampton’s guns [cheers by hie aide, eud upon tho whole country will fall the benediction of just, enduring and perpetual peace. The united De mocraey will sweep over New York State, he said, like a tornado, and give Daooook fifty thousand majority. [Im- chet-uag J The organ appropri ately played Auld fang Syne, end the New York love-feast was over.” the people should displace the manager's machine and the majority should be the oply political ‘bom.' Tha IMast i>as«iy Camvamtlam. From tho information we have re ceived from correspondents and in in- PenneylvaDla baa no candidate to pre ter vie ire with cititene from different sec tions of the coyuty, we conclude that a lar^o majority of the Democratic party favors the calling of the Convention early in August. We hope that Prof. Vcnuor will predict a cool spell for that time. EDUCATIONAL. c Rev. A.Bci8T Editor. Act Inn of the *UHe Hoard of Ex- ilaere.

They el wore dusters and straw hats, carried >alm leaf fans and wore a new edition o f the Innocents Abroad—but they put on sin and passed themselves off ai profes atonal tourists. We are glad that they went, and bad a glorious time and that they hive all returned safely and soberly. For e fort night they were riddea and driven, wined and dined, petted and praised and lived Kke civilised folks. In the abundant charity of our nature me now tender them our warmest sym pathiee upon their return to the hum drutn tf daties of country life. It will go hard with you, brethren to come down to bacon and oolUrds and corn bread and saasafrae tea, but you will find it ia next to nothing when you become used to such diet aud can't get any better grub You, brother Petty, can be happy while yon split stove wood. You, Carter, when riding on your narrow gusgn rail road and nursiug your babies can come out jolly. You, brother Harmon, can whittle while you gather gooseberries, and our live neighbor, McSweeny, can. find cqjoymeot in catching terrapins and playing around in a dug out, and all can hare the malicious pleasure of dun ning delinquent subscribers and of— being dunned themselves. Wc are done with this subject. Delegatee to Ceaveatleae. The dcril sometimes preaches good morality for purposes best known to him- self, and therefore it it not aurpriaing that a Radical jonrnal should eccMionally enunciate sound general political princi ples. The subjoined extract from tbe New York Times is worthy of a better source and we are satisfied tbe Demo crats of Barnwell county will read it with pleasure, and, let na hope, not without profit: “Delegates are vented who will feel their responsibility to the people and not to leaders and managers who tTe striving to promote their own designs and gratify tbe am hi Ueo either of themselves or cf some great man on whose favor they fed dependent. Delegates sent* by the people to a convention should feel that they are commissioned by the voten whom they represent to perform a public duty in their behalf, aad not to be moved oc a chess board to suit tbe exigencies of s game played by party chieftains.

County Boards of Examiners are cau tioned not to grant special examinations except in such cases as may be abso lufely necessary for the good of the pub lic schools. Questions which have been used at a general examination rhould in no case be nsed at a special examination. the exolisii language. Question : Can a good knowledge of the English language be acqnired without the study of technical grammar ? A good knowledge ot any language must involve the mastery of all the facts sod principle* that are involved in iu correct u*c. Such knowledge will enable its po»*e**or to determine whether a given sentence, or succeesion of senten ces, conforms to good usage or not; and if the example i* faulty, to point out the foci or tbe principle of usage that has been disregarded. Such knowledge in- volvee a familiar acquaintance with the subetencc of technical grammar, and can hardly be acquired without study, any better than a good knowledge of botany, chemistry or astronomy. Sanguine enthusiasts uow and th-n oome forward with new methods of mast ering the Latin and the Greek ; methods that piomise to relieve the student from tho wearisome labor of mastering the de tails of declension! conjugations, the nu merous lews respecting the uses of easve^ tenses and moods, even including that which via, par nftlUnu, the doubtful mood ; but experience has quite uni formly shown that the value of these methods is iu an inverse ratio to what they promise. It remains, and will for ever remain true, that a good knowledge of the Latin or the Greek language, without a familiar acquaintance with these details ia an impossibility. That method ia the heat which enables the student to gain the mastery of them with the greatest economy of time and ener gy.— Rev. M. C. Stebbcn, Educational column Lcxingtoa Dispatch. There is no real school teaching till the achool master and mistress, the father and mother, “keep achool together.' Bear this truth in mind, and aot under its influence. The Superintendent of Public Instiuc- tk>n in Nebraska says: “An educated man is easier instructed in any indus trial pursuit. lie can adapt himself to changed circumstances or new employ ment easier than one not educated. Edu cation tends to elevate the thoughts of the working man, to give him more self respect and well founded self confidence.” THAT F.I.ECTDIC SPEECH. WMICH NOWTIAMfEB HaWC< CM FOR Tlrf t> '.***«.

While all the other speech-making was going on Daniel Dougherty, delegate pro tern, through the courtesy of Mr. Spear, stood In hla stall pawing the ground like a war hope scenting the battle from afar. “Pennsylvania I” was the call. “Mr. President,” said Chatr- raan Hay, wbo-took no stock In tbe Hancock movement, and who little suspected the hub-bub that was to be raised In his behalf, “Mr. Chairman, sent for the Presidency, but a delegate wishes to advocate the claim of one of her distinguished sons.” There waa a murmur of admiration as Daugherty rose and stepped briskly to the front with the air of a man who has to per. form an agreeable duty, for the die charge of which he feels quite equal Tbe vast audience saw at once that this was a man worth hearing, and it held Its brextb and listened. The fi st sentence revealed tbe sympathies of tbe audience which laid bare tbe can didate of the speaker’s choice. At the mention of Hancock’s name there prose a mighty shout. Heretofore tbe boiee had been confined to certain parts of the house and the applause to or candidates bad come maluly from their own reifWctive sections, but now one-half of the Convention seemed to rise to its feet. Hundreds on the plat form lent their voices to the tumult, and the galleries began agreat roar of delight. Dougherty stood with head erect, hla head alternately paling and flushing, while Jble Hpe quivered with burning words that be was eager to utter, but couluTnot until the enthusi asm of his audience bad somewhat spent Itaelf.

If nomi nated, he will be elected, and if elected he will take bis scat.” [Cheers ] noueanmr's oreat Speech. The grand occasion of tbe day wae when Dougherty sut poshed himself In all the attributes of a popular orator in presenting General Hancock. He received a royal welvome when he took tbe Speaker’s platform and he bore himself most gracefully during tbe ordeal. A dead silence followed, and then Dotgberty’s voice rang throughout the vast ball clear as the notes of a sliver bell. Wi bout ex ordium or any prefatory remarks, be at once grappled with his theme and touched toe heart of his audience. As an oratorical effort It captivated by its elegsnee alike in matter aud In man ner and as an Impressive and power ful appeal to agreat body of represent ative men it will be remembered with Ingersoll's presentation of Blaine iu 2876 aud Conhilng’s presen ation of Grant at Cbictqfo. It differed as much from both of those exceptionally great efforts as they differed from each other.but It had as distinctive merits as can be daimed for them and will stand in imperisbubleassociaiion with them in our political literature. When be reached the climax of his perora tion and natne l Hancock, the scene was Indescribable. It was the first time that ary more than a regulation ap plause bad been invoked, and for nearly a quarter of an hour the dele gates and ggRerlea displayed the wildest enthusiasm. It proved that tne heart of tbe great audience was for Hancock, as the heart of tbe Chi cago assembly was for Blaine, and a mastei band oad touched the chords and drawn out their fullest tones. It was a revolution to the Convention, for it told for the first tlmehowstroug the Pennsylvania Democratic soldier was in the supreme tribunal of the National Democracy. Hancook was fortunate in tbe followers of bis chhf advocate. Daniels, of Virginia, a one- legged Confederate soldier, who bad confronted Hancock on tbe field, sec onded Hancock’s nomination in a speech that ranked aeoond only to Dougherty’s in brevity, eloquence and power, and Hubbard, of Texas, an other Confederate warrior, followed in a handsome tribute to the gallant soldier be had met in tbe flame of bat- ! tie. These (appeals bore ilch and , speedy fruit, is was proved in Han- ' cock’s leading vote on the ballot, taken j soon after. The friends of Mr. JAMES THOMSON beg leave to bring his name to the atten tion of the people of Barnwell county a* a suitable person for nomination by the Democratic party, as its candidate for Clerk of the Court at the next election. inay6-td FOIL MHFILIFF.
