FOR COUNTY COMM3I'S58ONER1 , It, E. ELLISON, St.,, JOIN A. IIINNANT. CORNELIUS R. MEANS. ANY In)1::N)EN'r ticket is a blow 'aimed not agailnst individuals, buot against the organi.ation. 'lho organization must, not bo crushed out by internal dissensions. m'II1aRm' AuS in) l?'airlie(l (o0n1ty two parties, aiiid only two, the )cmo - cratic and the ladical party. 'h'licso ofler the only avenCes .0 (ilicc, iiid 'imylliinig that weakens the one stLelgthen1s the other. Tim; 1.l)ienAis are much tield o)ver Whiat they coisider ia slit inl the Demiiocratic ranks. They .reckon without. their hosts. ''hat, split won't be fowid on 'the day of election. Ws I.v1: miade inluir3y from all 1)oin1s iecessi)lo to uts, and fail to discover all that opposition to ile I )cemo'rii tI ieChCt which is claiiIIed. Quite at nmabil.er are naturally dlis a1)1)ointed that their candidates did not wil, but they vailie the orgalni z/atioln too higily to do an3 thing to injure it. EVERInlOn)v CANNoT bo happy, Langston, the leader of the colored race in this country, was appointed Mlinister to Hayti. lie didn't want in go, ind th0 Hayien government didn't want him, but asked for a w\hite ninL iistea do. In spite of al this, Hyes remained furm, and Langston hai to go. He and Iayti are mutually sold, and the country breathes more freelv. Tim, CouanuTA .liCt(ie.af' of Thurs lay coiiLinmms ft 1n 01 g1roc(flees purchased 1)y Woodrul' from Hardy Soloznoi in 1872, which has leen unearthed by the Investigating Committee. Bet' -1 Marci tlth and March 71 ti. in that year, Wood rinl' boIglh t sixteen hundred dollars worth of liquors and cigars, among the items being sixteen cases of champagne at forty dollars a case, nine cases of brandy at the samoe price, and twenty-hive boxes of twenty cent. cigars. Bectween thoe 7th and the '12th 'of the saime month, lhe purl1chased eighteen hundred and fift~y dollars worth of chaimagne, brandy, eigars and wine at the samo prices. Threi~e thousand four hun drod and eighty dollars in one wveek is a rond~ sum for legislators to spend in smoking and drinking. We hope Woodruff will be severely hauled over the coals for this 'mis appropriation of public moneys. Our Ticket. M r. Kerr, the Democratic nom ii nee for clerk of court, is fully comn petent to fill all the dunties of thme oflice. lie is educated and c'apable, anid mforeov'er is a oneC-armned Con federato soldier. Capt. IHinnant is at brave ox-Con federate, who lost a leg, and has sin1cC then worked manfully to supn port himself, ploulghing on his 'wvooden leg. Tihe Democracy can -dloinothing botter than clect him counity commissioner. Mr. RI. E. Ellison, Sr., has 'a long record in public life, and will per.. formt his duties faithfully and satis faictorily. :Cornelius Ml~eans, tho 'colored candidate, was horn and raised on the plantation of Col. Hi. (. 'Davis near hidgeway, ando was ai house servant until thme surrender. We mention this fact becauso it has boon rumiored that lhe is from the North. lie hasi deducted himself, anid 'will make a good commissioner. M ountgomery Blair hals consented to beOcolme the Domnocraticecandidalto t o represent Montgomery county in the next House of Delegates of Malnd. The Radicals Awake. When the Jtadical coiiventioni ad journed on the 16th instaint, without eniorsing the "citizens' tiieiL" submitted to it, the belief was that. the Radicals would take no part in the election. But some of the delegates subsequently infimi iated that the ticket would be presentled to the precinct mnectings for enl dOrsemuentt, feelin g that an open endorsemelit of it by iNd ladicals, would array I)emaoerits "eainst it. Ihe 1.tudical plan i- to lull t1c I)emioerat.s into Fecnrity and then by beating the Demtocrattie nomuina tion, to decst.roy the palv in fuitt'e. It is 111 known w'hatt course tile ladicals have tliken, t thoy have thrown ofl' their listlessness, an1(d are actively at work. 'l'he people must consider whether they c:it stand t l adical triutmph, either through a straighit party tight, or by le'anis of Democratic disselsiols. Let all )emlcerats unite.

Thi'ir general and State news and their literary matter are carefully selected and system atically arranged, and their me ebanical execution is creditable in the extreme. Each of these papers is a power in its own locality, and has many readers who never see any )the'r publication front year s end to yea' s end. The county paper furnishes such readers with their mental pahn lumni from week to week ; they read it from the top of the first column to the bot1tom of the last, umt an lhe lnmes that are often in those col uuns are often to them like house hld word(s. We confess that we would like to see the name of Char lostoni and the names of her mnera chants appear there more frequent, ly. it is true that thecre .is no oithJ palper p~ubhlshd -in this Shate t hat hsas much as onie-thuird of the c'ir culation of The~ .News~ and (.ouirie; but the c'omined -c'irlation of the connttry Press is far greater than ainy daily Charleston paper01 cantl hope) to obtaiin, and if Chaleston is ever to mnonopolize and1( con)trol the traide olSouth Carolina.her merchants must not only testify to tihe business life of the laelO by an ample and1 remu1 norative patronage of her own rep reselntative jot unal, bu t must also make use of the county papers, and by constant and libieral advertising in their columns iimpress upon theL' readers the superior fae-iiities aind great advantages which this mtarket possesses5 for the supply of the demandsi(1 of tllo interior trade. _.

'110 Domoeratic nomination for governor of Massachusetts is not gioinig bolgging this year. The clii is are too good. Bl1ckleow, of Pe11n'sylvanill, thinks the issue of 1880 will be on political fraiul in regard to ile election of I laves. ProctOr Knott does not intenid to go t t lie Wh'lite Sulphur Springs, an11d lie does not know of n'ny Ken tuekian who will. For a mlan who so willingly I inded I ol' the Ohio Senat.orslhip to I :niiley ,llattIhows for Ihe Speaker shiil>, Garfield num1ifests ia :strange desire to trade back. If it is t-ruie, asn announced inl the Wa';shing.to n /opu/>licanu1, that 13en \Wade 1mt, lecomno reconciled to the l'r'idellt's policy, then the band ivay as well stop playing. The (Chieago /n /r. Ocean is of the op1inion Ilhat Ciambierlain has mtade out at strong case1 against the Iln 1inistration aus- well as agailst him1iself. This seems to include tho only Imrties at issue. It begins to look as though Mr. I laves is sitting down so heavily upon (lie maiichinlie politicians thatt there wnt he (nouigh of them left Io r1 ( un unit for a third terii, even should they wauit to. Mr. Murat 11l11'- elai is doml~andin.l' the dollar of our fathers as an1 aid to reslllp tionl, whiie the -lon. William D. Kelley insists upon the doll of ourli fathers as I a 1means cf inflation. Tfhe oldest living ex-Congressuim is said to h Artemnas .1[ale, of B~ridlgewater, Mgass., a ed1 Ninet y four, who was r1 pi Isa I ive from thmt 1)1;t from 18.15 to 18-19. In 186 he was a Presidetial elector. Solicitor Geeral Phillips, of the1) Dep mt.luinet of Jlustice, is also a mlmbeIr of the North (Camtrolina Re )uhlican (oI iilnit.tee, and hesitates to resigu. Perhaps he wants to be made 1111 example of. The Democratic conity o('nveny'u Iions in Towa have began to endorse indicntes that the Stalte c )llvention, which inets August 29, will he very likely to do that which the le)ubli cans left undone. In the event that Senator (Grov er, of Oregon, is driven from bis seat, :nd it is not very likely, he wonl he su(cceeded by a Democrit. The governor of the Stato is a D)emocra, t. and the Democrats have a imajoritv of the Legislature. Next year Nevada will elect a U'nited States Senator to succeed Jones, and there is a disposition in 5(omol quiarteis to eleot a1 reCsident of the State, if those wvhol own Nevada and live in San Francisco will con, sent to tile ar'rangemenh. Gxeneral Ben Harrison, who was defented for gover'nor of Indiana last fail, will be Mor'ton's Repuibli canl contestant for the United Staltes Senator'ship. Har'risoni has r'allied ar'oundl him all the anti-Mor'toni Re p)ulicans in the State, and has ros~ cently been to sco the President to asc'er tain how much01 patr'onaige be canf get to 1he1lpihim out. So far' as hear'd from 464 deoo gates have beCen Chosen t~o theO Vir'ginia D~eumocr'atic Convention that is to nominate a candidate for gover'nor. Of these Daniel has 141, iMahone 89, Fitz Lee 67, Taliaferro 50, Terriy 53, Holliday 33, and 29~ alre uniistr'ucted. Gen. W.X H. F. Leo, son of Gen. Ri. E. Lee, and (cousin of Fitz, is spokeon of as the dark horse. Thle Newv Yoi'k ;Run favors WV. WV. Enton, of Connectient, as till straightl out Dem~ocramtic canudidato for President in 1880, (endorsing him1 as5 01n of the~ first ltauesmen -of the country.
