WINNSI3O0 S. 0. WrYBUt73DAr, D ULY 30. r 1E7i. S. MBAN$8DA IS EDITOR. arro E. BBlaYOLDS, AssooIit eisDIOB. ON THE ITH OF AUGUST the Radical State Conventiou meets in Columbia to have a wake. It promises to be quite a funereal affair. EDGEFIELD sEEMs provoked that Richland is a little ahead on offices, and wants to get what are left for herself. A Speaker of the House, a Solicitor, a Congressman and a United States Senator are enough glory for once. LAt the othe r thirty-one counties have a say at least for the other senatorship. NORTH CAAOLINA elects judges, solicitors, county officers and a Leg islature on the first of August. The Republicans disbanded, but they are backing up independent candidates wherever they can induce them to run. The chief interest centres in the Legislature, as that body will elect a United States Senator. Governor Vance is by long odds the choice of the Democracy, but Merrimon hopes, by the aid of Democratic bolters and Radicals, to defeat him. Merrimon made a pretty good senator, but ho ought to be switched off the track this time, The State Convention. The State Democratic Convention sneets in Columbia on Thuruday for the purpose of norniating a State ticket, and a State Executive Com mittee, and of preparing a platform of principles. The first task will be easy enough. Almost all the conn ties have instructed their delegates to support Governor Hampton and the whole State ticket, and the indi cations are that these gentlemen will be reuoninated by acclamation. They have performed their duties with great fidelity and capacity, and a renomination will be a graceful compliment. The selection of a State Executive Committee isa matter of importance, for upon this body rests the conduct of the campaign. The present com mittee have acted wisely in the past, and we see no reason why they, or at least a majority of them, should not be agaili placed at the helm. De spite odcasional adverse criticisms that, apparently, have their origin in fancied encroachmnent upon what some candidate considers his privi lege or his interest, the general ver dict of the State is that the Comn" mittee has discharged its duties with ability and disinterestedness. The platform is important. Plat.. forms are generally made to be broken, but the boast of Governor Hampton and the people that the platform of 1876 has been rigidly adhered to, naturally attracts atten - tion to the enunciation of principles by the Democracy in 1878. The old platform is good enough for second use ; its planks are still broad and strong enough to hold the party, and while the old timbers are solid there is no necessity of setting a fresh gang of carpenters to work building another. The best thing to do is * to let well enough alone. If deem ed necessary, it might be well to * insert a plank declaritrg that the party is equally removed from the two extremes, one of making the campaign a race issue, and the other * of squinting inithe least towards fusion or combination with any organized party. While all are in. vited to aid the Democracy in this good work, all who come n-inst como in under the Demnoratfo banner. The titne for proposing to divide offi ces wiLh ihe Republicans has passed long ago. Sincere propositions of this nature were contemptuously spurned i the heyday of Radicalism, and they will never again be offered. It would not be unwise, either, for the convention to declare that any tendency to forget the mai issue and to run off at a tangent on minor question is absolutely suicidal, ,and is a bid fot bolts and internal dissensiohs..All hohorablepeople are agreed that 1lad 46 is,a #deous monster that must. be crushed, and all wml nto earnesty to dest.. it but upon these minor matters the same unanimity of sentiment does not prevail, and if they are thrust forward so prominently as to over shadow the mlalil prol-o it ion, de moralization and petty jealousies will ensue. With a unite,1 Democ racy South Carolina is s.tf for all time. With divisions she would sink into tho Radical rut quicker than lightning. With Grant loom ing up as the R tdical Presidential candidate in 1880, we don't soo how the Democracy can be wasting their political powder on small game. If ho be nominated they will lind that they have need of the greatest una nimity in their ranks, and that it will tako a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether to beat him. We cannot afford to fall out over snudi matters, and the convention should so declare. Babies ought to be well taken care of, their system does not allow the slightest neglect.

TOTAL ABSTINENCR SAVING WINE TILL IT RIIPENS, '1'here is at curious story about some native Wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only rcently bcen put upon the market. Dr. Unaderhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in z87r, Some of his heirs enteriained temperance views of such extreme kind, that thcy were unwilling to allow tihe stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. 'The grapes have sometimes been sent to' market, and sometimes eft to decay upon the vines.' It is only now that the other heirs haVe succeedcd in arranging for a settlement of the esat and the snie of the wines dri hand. Aogthese is a wine of tihe vintaget of1864, described as -a "Sweet Union Port," but sgcsting the Imperial Tokay more 1 than other European wine, andi being wholl~h ike any other wine of American growth Its purity, age and mellowness aire' remarkable, and both physIcians and wine fanciers have a specil interest in it as the ' oldest native wino now accessible ini any con- I siderable quantity. The whole stock is'in the hands of the well-known wholesale grocery hotise of the Thurbers.a-N, Y. Tiug Nov. 19, 1877. IThe above spieaks fosr ielf, but we woidd add that this Is the pure juice of thea grape, neither drugged, //gu~ored nor weate,wl; that It has been ripened and mellowed by age, tand for medicInal or sacramental purposes It is unsurpassed.
