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.

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. It can be obtained from niost
of the leading Druggists throtfghout thd
United States, and at wholesale fronm the
