However much wc may admiro thc I'rimary|EI?ction, as a mode of nomin itingDouiocratie|candidates, Without proper safe-guards and re-, strictions, it ii a dangerous ma chino. Th!? h ?diown ia the recent municipal election in Columbia, when one J. M Smith waa chosen Al derman, t% quandam Radical Sena tor from Barnwell, who wa*convic ted by thc legislative committee of accepting brioc- tor voting away thc public funds; in preference to such men as Col A.C. Haskell and R. N. RiChbourg. | When wc bad County Conven- ? tloa.? to nominate candidatos the ! ct -m rata wt rc always careful to | send only democrats of the right stripe to make thc nominations; but,sines there is noactlvc opposi tion party, th<? disintegrated ele ments of the Republican party have found an open door to the very holy of holies, of tho Democrat's. Not only aro the-;* political outcasts I loyal ad libitum, but exercise an ? equal power in the couueils of the party With those who have in dhrk days lo great personal sacrifices. When wo stood in need of help, the> . men ricked their chance* against us, and now justice, self-re spect and prudence demand that they take au humble place in the Democratic picture. The Primary Election i- nothing moro nor less titan a convention ofthe whole of ti.'- Democratic party,and, as in Other conventions only Democrats participate, a departure from this course will inevitably bring results similar to thc recent experience in Columbia. Let the Democratic pai ly :. m?nate its own candi late-. "> I . Fid rile <>n thc Si ump. The Democrats in Tennessee will PO:;. . te a candidate for Governor on M y Otb. The last campaign in that - tte attracted attention all o ve i ' . :oitulry mainly becutiso the Tay! Brothers wore rivals for gubernatorial honors. All eyes will , dn ur.n to Tennessee i:-. May. a strong sentiment scent? t ?..vi t- against Ino once popular Bob Taylor, and it -: by no mean ? rtain that tho voter.-will again enjoy i dance to his music. Robert isa fairly good fiddler, but his opponents will not admit that be i an adopt at anything else. A Memphis paper asks that tho lid dle weigh not too heavily against Bob,forit is written that David tho gn at King, played the bar; an 1 le I his people dancing, and that pupor fails to see that the Gov ernor of Tennessee has done more in moving voters to the polls by tho rasping strains of a Addle. But a Nashville paper will not submit to uuch an argument, and proceeds forthwith to draw along philosoph ical and historical distinction be tween tho harp and tho fiddle. It would appear that a Addling Governor is not necessarily a cal amity. It i? a mistake to suppose that because this man can stir pa thetic memories of that revered old gentleman, lucie Ned, who saw tit to "Jiang up de fiddle and de bow," that be is thereby incapaci tated from meeting out even-han ded justice. This would be almost us groat a mistake us to suppose that because old King Colo was a jolly old soul, be was therefore a good King. But, this opens up somo deep questions upon the diucussion of which we dare not enter, The pre cise place for music in polities bas not OS yet boen fully determined; nor do critics fully agree as to thu Instruments to be used. The weight of authority however, gathered from our .surro undings rather fa vors chin music liy All Menus. Some weeks ago THE ADVERTI SK ii suggested that our Agricultu ral Department should make a good representation of our resources nt tho Augusta National Exposition. Tito Department now /iuds that it is impracticable tu act as it desires, 'owing to similar demand from oth er quarters. But, by proper effort we may still derive much benefit from th.- Augusta Exposition. The managers have provided for coun ty representation;',and whilo there ls a great fovor to advertise com munities, and a great need for such advertisements so far as this > county is concerned, we suggest that the Agricultural and Mechan ical Society of this county tako tho mattel in band, and show to the world what wo aro doing and what i cari be Jone In Ulis Heaven favored county of Laureas. By working thr Ugh our County Fair, a mest creditable exhibit can easily bel made, and we venture to say j will Amply repay for thc tr;u-< A Bill i- now pending, which au-1 thorizon thc Secretary of the Tren- ' su ry to issue silver certificate.* for thc denominations of twenty-rive.

"When rich men combine together to increase their income, it is a '.trust," and when poor men do the same tiling, it ia a "strike." Why should Congress find difficulty in dealing with one and not the other. J. I". Marlin a prominent lawyer of Aiken, i- missing. He left home two weeks a^fo, and was last seen In an Augusta Hotel.

Invitations to a hall given by a colored Society of Port Dodge, Io., contained the in formation that no distinction would bo mode lietween plain and colored people.

C an't Give Him Up, Thc Laurens ADVERTISER speaks very complimentary of Judge ' . lace a- being a lair minded, upright and ablo Judge and expresses the wish tiiat lie may one ?tay represent South Carolina in the U.

We fully endorse thc ADVERT?S Kit's high eompliment to Judge Wallace, but because of those v ry superior qualifications for thc posi tion he now- occupies, wc think Judge Wallace SllOUld bc ret.dr: d on the Hench. If there is any wish or intenrion t.> promote bim for faithfulness and ability on thc Cir cuit "rtench, the Supreme Court would be the proper line v-f prom >. lion, we think.
