His case will now go to the Georgia Supreme Court. The National Republican Convention cost $30,G0. This does not include what it cost Mr. Alger and Mr. Sherman to purchase the Southern vote. Capt. F. W. Dawson of the News and Courier proposes to meet MIr. Tillman on the stump and aswer some of the charges made by Tillman. Melville W. Fuller has been con firmed at last by the Senate as Chief Justice. The Republicans fooled about the matter of contirmation for about three m pontgs. Richland is in favor of Perry for Con gress from the fourth district. uncan has the lead in Spartanbg, mour Laurens. Greenville, of course, en dorses Perry, and Fairfield favors Brat ton. The convention meets at Laurens next Tuesd:y. A primary may be de cided upon to settle the question. Citzens of Abbeville have formed a Cleveland and Thurman Club and all the members wear tall white beavers, use the red bandanna and a walking cane. Enough Newberrians are wearing the Cleveland hat to make up a good large club. Suppose you organize, gen tlemen.

C [Special to the News arid Courier.] GRF.EN VILLE, July 20.-The first of the meetings provided by the )emo clatic State Convention for the purpose of securing from the candidates for nominationl as Governor and Lieuten- t ant Governor an expression of their views on State politics was held to-day at Hodge's, Abl,bev-ille County, thee electoirs presen!it representingi the voters of the 3d Congressional district. There i was no evidence from the attendance of candidates that th1e _Woul be ai t opposition to the renoliation of (;>v- t ernor ltichardon and Lieutenant (Gov- c ernor Mauldin, these gentlemienh being the only oles who appeared to give i , acrounlt of stewardshllp or present the principles upon which they seek ele-a tion. t The sp'akinlg began at 1 wh.:. whel * D)r. Jones, who was the chairnulall of the Iteetinig, presented Capt. Cochran, who r handsoiely introduced (Govern<r Rich ard,sonl. The Governor w'.'as im good voce and was armed with a formidable ii i array of carefully prepared statistics', wvhicl were the only notes lie used. IHe was accorded a re;pectful hieai ing although1 not anl enlthusiastic one, bV the audieuce, which was palpably col trolled b;" the Tilliialh itlfiueiie. (ioVEIINol{ EICrAI'O S -i's1-:h:eC1. The Governor said that he was here hv direction of the Delic!atic party, e inl accordance with the cxpiression from i the recent State Convention, and to t address the people as hai been arranged by the State executive conimhiittee. Be- I fore he touched on other matters he desired to answer certain vague and I irresponsible charges which had beeni Inade in re(rard to the conduct of the I State Goverhimnenht. It had been stated by some newspapers and politicians that the burden of taxation was to-day as heavy on the people as it was under Radical rule. This assertion was not t t rue and he would proceed to prove it. He quoted from a tabulated statement isued by the Democratic State conmit tee in 1S2 and sl.owed tlhe taxes exact ed each year of Radical rule. One example here sutlices for the contrast. In the fiscal year 1s73-74 the total State tax was 12 mills, yielding $2,h:i->, 000, and the aggregate county taxes were $1,037,000, making a total taxation of $3,12?,000. On the other hand the total State tax under I)emocratic rule in 1886-87 was but SSS2,000 and the county taxes were proportionately less. The Governor's figures will be given hereafter. He quoted from the records to show that the actual and contingent I liabilities by the State under Radical rule reached the enormous total of nearly $29,000,000. While the present figures were only one-fifth as large. Then the Governor, to use the lan guage of Mr. W. C. Benet, dealt with the figures of the State's finances at the present time "with the felicity and power of a Gladstone." He took up the Tillman comparison of taxation ini 1878-79 and 1S86-S7, and canvassed t item by item the points of increase and diminution in the expenditures. His table will be hereafter published in full. It is sufficient now to show that the t most important diflrences were as t follows: Excess in appropriations 1878 79 over 1886-87: South Carolina Uni- f versity $2,10), South Carolina College i and MIechanical Institute $7,500, penal] and cha.ritable institutions $9,000, civil contingent fund $5,000 State Agricul tural and 3Mechanical Society $1,500, I Court of Claimls $8,000 Bond Court $2,000, claims passed $5,004) deficiencies $12,800; total excess 1886-87 over 1878-79: 1 Legislative expenses $7,000, tax depart ment $1,-..00, University and Citadel 1 $33,800, repairs Governor's M1ansion< $2,700, public printing $4,000, artificiali limibs $2,000, railroad commlissionj 7,8.50, (paid by railroads,) supervisorst regist rat ion $3,500), transportation of coni~victs (cost charged from cotunties to State) $5,000), completion State House $16,100, Charleston Mledical College $500), interest on public dlebt $2,130, militia $13,000 experimental stations4 $10,000); total excess $35,000P; net difler eneei inl fatvor of 1875-79 833,47?,. De ducting the piaymnents oif interest on the: public debt with the new appropriations< for the State H-ouse, the educational insttutions and( tihe mlilitia, left hlardly1 tile apipearanlce of an1 increase. TheG overnior not onlyv referred to. but discussed, every itemii of increased expenditure. showing the reason for its existenice and putting the qjuestion whether the p'ubie would forego the outiav. Thie Governor dit1 all that was possii>le to relieve the imooony of hlis ranks of rigures anid made(l themn initin itehy miore efetive t han they miight have appeared when miarshalled in dull arrav-. He piresenltedl a bright picture of tihe present condition of the State as c?omi paredl with what it was tenl yearus ago. The progress was great for a pooir people ini so short a p)eriod( in the life of a State. It had beeni said, declared the (Gover nor, that lie was a straddler on tile (ques tionii of the Clemisoin agricultural col lege. Hej was. here as loyal soil ofthe2 tate, greatly hotnored byv her, to answer her inquliry as to is positioni. W%ith all re gad for i s friend, the edhitor of the and( wvho yesterday in his pape)(~r said that he IGovernor Richiardlson) had reusedl to answer qutestionis as to this college, he asserted that hie never hatd prop)osedl, and did not no piropoIse, to answer his interrogatories. His official duties did not allow him time to reply to such q1ue.stionis propo)und(ed to him.ii1 But lie was now here at the time and place appouited by the D)emocracy to speak his convictions. That wVas right, was it not: T'hen why p)ut him in the position of a stnu1ldller or dlodger? .In a letter to The News and Courier before his nomiination in 188; lie had ex pressed his opinion as to t he agricultu ral college qjuestion. It was a iatter for the p)eople, wvho would bear the burden, to decide. He then said, and now re atrmled, that lhe wais now, as ever, for any school which woukd aid in the eduating of this grand old State. He mlade' a comipar'isoni between the educa tioial status of New England anti South Carolina, and asked how lie could oppose any educational aidvantage for his peopile. If the Clemson college was neeted thle State should support it liberally. One|quest ion for the Legisla ture wa-: "Will the will hol' iiTere was ino reason why~vi it shioui( not, but it wotuldl be unwise for the State to aceplt the bequtest anid proceedl to carry it out without being sure of its leality. He was for all institutions of learni ig. the free schools amd agricultu. ral college, the South ('arolina l'niver sity' and the Citadel. It would be a good thing to offer the youthi oif the State a variety and choice (of educationi suited to the(ir dlifferin g genius.

[_AIpplause and tughter.] After this graceful remark Capt. Till ian said that lie was not here to dis uss dill'rences Ibetweei 1)einocratic ud Republicani governinent, but be ween 1)emiocrat. and D)einocrats. le igratulated1 his audience on the fact iat the tinie hadl passed when men iuld be shut up by the whisper, Hush, or you'll split the Democratic arty.'' The negr.'es had been Iiteht: verboard, and the only <line.tioni was4tohewie1elwltaou;rvr1 Sto the white men'i " who) shiould governi ie State, whether the people or a clique tould do it. He denied that he had euIsed the State Gov\iiiermet oft cr ip tieii, but of extravagance. The st'ernilnelit was not the State fllicers. Ut these otlieers, the Legisiatur'e had ecn the most extravaang,t of the three r:a,elies. This ( oVer11nic"it was stip osedl to Ie Democratic', but South aroli:ia wa., purely ari-tueratic from "ntre to circumfii'ei('. It had Iwei ifor a hundred years aid would be so >r another one hundred until you pe le rise in your night as free Anglo axons, and denuit the right of seli OVerniIUent. BIefore the warthearisto r,atic elemient controlliing the Legisla re held that the people were not Iit to ieet their (overnor and arro,-atcd that ower to thenselves. The same element oitrols the State ('oivelntioi, which ractically elects the Governor by its ohination, and, exercising usurped ower, says to the people, "you eai't trusted.'' He hoped the time was ear when the people would demand he right of voting in a State primary >r every officer they wished. Until hey got that right they might grumble s Imuch as they pleased, but their osses would be in Charleston and Cc, tinbia. He styled the farmers' miove lent "a queer kind of critter," aind said hat he didn't under.tand it himself, s "it was not the child he gave birth u." [Laughter.] It must have, how ver, the germ ofstatesnaiiship in it or t could not have grown so greatly. He elieved it to be the bt'ginning of a revo ution. It would be as great a revolution s that of 1876 to secure the right of 'ting in a State priniary for the State iicers. He hoped they would enjoy his right two years from to-day. Capt. 'I illnan criticised severely the provision for a preliminary canvass inder which he was now speaking, haracterizing it as "a bone to a dog." n half a dozen counties, before the first peech of the canvass had been made, lelegates had been selected to the State oivention devoted to the interest of ertain candidates. Let any change of entiment occur between now and the >tate Convention, and these delegates rould snap their fingers in the faces of he people and say "Alh, boys, we were 00 smart for you." The speaker's next jeu d'esprit was, 'We've got to make the candidates toe he mark like little men, like some of hem are doing to-day." [Laughter] hen he declared that lie was chock till of rocks and wanted to chunk 'em nto the crowd. He next said: "When started to work for the college I miade Smistake. I admit it. The roof would ave been on the college now and the OYS in it if I hadn't criticised the ~lorious State Governmient, but that uined me. See what heaps of poli icians jumped on the agricultural Vagon till they broke it down. He then >roceeded to give in detail his versou >f the failure of the farmers' mnovemient n 'S6, when it controlled the House of epresentatives, because of the oppos~.i ion of office-holders and lawyvers. The tory has been often told, but the crowd eened to think it fresh. lHe had a ~rave charge to nmake h'ere, and it was his: TlhaLt the trustees of the Sotuth aroina College since '7'J had been mgaged ini a consp)iracy against the igricultural interests oif t he State. This s a grav'e charge becaiuse the trustees tre among the most honored of' our :itizens. "He wotuld givec them credit or not intending it. but lie would p)rov~e hat they were conispirator's. He then >utned, as at various tinies in his pu1b ised letters, the course adopted for t he evival of the South C'arolinia College nd the disposition of thle agr'icultural crp fund mioneys. Th'le conispirac'y lie efrred to appearedl to be the establish lint of the so-called agric'ulturial annex istead of' an agricultural college. He tighly prasd the South Carolina U'ni ersit v and said lie would like to see it trander than ever butt t hese proceeinmgs if' thle trustees "had iinade thle blood to roil in his bosomi.'' He then niade :he usuial attack on the annex. The southt Carolina ('ollege had inch by neh fought the farimei's' moovemeint. He saidl that, in his opinion, President J . 3Lecryde is the man who stood nore ini his (Tlilhuan's)~ path t han any ther. He miight (10 Mi'. McBrydle njust ice, and( soiie other imani might he :he "head dev'il"' of thle opposition, b)ut re believecd himi to be'. the muan. He read with iridi"ule a student's essay' in the South Car'olinia ('ollegian, in whieb it as stated that the studlents, after raving their boots laciked by colored aniitors, rose to their brieakfast at S >'ch>ek, and conitraisted it wvith the ihieemrents oif the students of the fissisippli College, who maide eight :ents an hour for extra labor on ie farm. A boy raised on the South aroinia College plan wassure to returnu onie either a theorist or feeling hiim telf above his people.

TIilman was v'ery severe on the How-de-do" political cowards ini the Legislature, aiid accused a miajority of :he Edgefield delegation oif breaking0 :heir pledges to stupport the college. le attributed their defection aiid that f others to the seductioni of the Cohum 'jia ('lub. At this point lie proceeded :o explain why he had, after the last tate Convention, become a guest of :he cubo himiself. It was just after lie ad told the truth, aiid Col. Haskell ladl denied it, that that gentleman arge<i hirui so strenuo,usly to visit the :lub; that lie allowed himself to be rabbed by the aria and taken there rather t hani appear per'sonall1 y spiteful.

As Mr. Tillian was not al present he would not attack him, but e he would say that the nian who set ti himself up as reformer, and whose only t argument was the abuse of public ser vants, was nothing but a false prophet, a a braggart and pretender. 1 Senator B.

They had heard this for F the last twelve years and now they o wanted to hear sone live issues dis cussed.

Id Richlnond, Fredericksburg, sburg, Chicamauga, Gettysburg arious other great battles where s ain and wounded were numbered lox ight and tell thousand on either y In the first battle of Manassas, . ding to official reports, the loss in I in the Confederate army was 378 unded, 1,489-missing 30-total 1,879. On the Union side the ofti report shows 481 killed, 1,011 to' ded, and 7,500 prisoners. 2. enty-seven years ago the 21st dit on Sunday. On that ever menl- da e Sunday morning the signal guns cDowell's army (Union) aroused - sleeping soldiers of both armies. guns, (Beauregard's), soon re led, and troops were hurried into ion. McDowell, while making a on our right and centre, imiasked roops on our extreme left, and ha :ed a crossing of Bull Run soon tel sunrise. Beauregard hurried > from the right to the left to meet Cc ttack. and the great fight began in :st. 1cDowelPs artillery kept up eessant but almost harmless fire on ight and centre, which had the S' Sof keepiug Beauregard's line in : it these points, and preventing the f his troops oni the left where they B2 so b)adly needed. The battle I furiously nearly the whole of the ha lay. The continuous thundering A< e cannfonl and rattle of deadly mus- efi rwas awfully su blimne. McDowell's ;number of soldiers pressed us ad y, and we were losing ground, au gil every inch was hotly and stub- wi ly contested. In the afternoon it be ed as if the field was certainly lost be ,when the happy arrival of a col- th of Johnson's troops fr'om the Val- lik tnder Kirby Smnith, who fell upon fo: owell's right, dealing death and be -utionl in the Union ranlks,thereby sh wing the Yankee armly into the :est disorder and confusion. They of became p)anic-stricken and fled rously froml the field. C scene which then followed beg- - dlescription. Every Northern so!- Q was fieeing for dlear life. He had L iough t for his fellow. He divested1 self of all his fighting parapher t, anld everything else that would uI 'de his progress. Guns, cannionl, pt >ns5, amioulances, caisons, horses, d( iunition, blankets, rubbers, tents, o1 inissary stores andi everything else tl abandoned in disorder and confu- 0o Tlhle skedaddle was general. and treat Northern cry of "On to Rich- pi d' was now changed to "Back to t1 lhington"' and it was made at the ct >le-quick. Ti great many fashionable and society le fromi Waishinigton, and Senators Relpt esentatives, and persons in .places came out to Bull Run, in carrialges. with drivers in livery, ging costly wines and expensive heoni with them to feast upon when saw the Rebels' backs. They like the pooir soldiers, became pan riekenl and fied, anid though it is twenity-sevenl years sin1ce these gs happ1enied. I am still glad, very ,that these fellows in high places to tiy for life anid leave their good gs behind. Y.es, I amiso glad that aid right niow give one real hearty 'ebel yell. mUs elided the first great battle of war. We lost a number of good ;tihey were all good m~en; the e and Bartow and Bee were among slain. It was here that Jackson ved unknowingly the immnortal quet, "Stonewall." It happened is wise: Col. Bee's mhen had been ing for hours most desperately, from sheer exhaustion, were wav ; and flattering, wvhen Col. Bee, by of enecouragemenlt, called to his in somlewhat this language, "stand mlenl, look at Jackson's men, (they near), they are standing like a e wall." Stone walls are the comn fencing inl Northern Virginia, and a great protection to the line of Wi eris who( were fortunate enough to "' it convenient to form behind one o 'i of battle. One of the results of a~ battie was, thlat both sides recog- th 1 the fact that this business was to It) child's play, nor even a three at ths' job. Lincoln immiediately e~ d for haif a million men "to sun Sthe rebellion." The Confederate ' Lori ties were not slow ill perfecting al s, recruiting and disciplining the w s. It needed no extraordinary ligenice to see that there was a andt bloody struggle ahead., YI!CRE. Death of E. P. Roe. w m-no,; N. Y., July 20.-Rev. E.
