THE COUNTY CANVASS. The county canvass, under the au spices of the executive committee, will close at Newberry next Tuesday. The candidates have all made the rounds of the county, and those for legislative honors have addressed the people. The election is drawing near, when the vot ers will determine who are to represent them in the Legislature, and who shall administer the affairs of the county. Every man, when lie casts his vote, should do so with a full sense of the privilege he enjoys, and of the respon sibility connected with that privilege. This is a free country, and every citizen has a right to vote as he chooses. So far the canvass has been a pleas ant one, and as all the candidates can not be elected, we know the defeated candidates will bow in graceful sub mission to the will of the majority. A GOOD PLATFORM. The Greenville News in reply to an enquiry as to whether it was in sympa thy with the Farmers' Movement an nounces what it understands to be the platform of the Farmers' Movement as follows: "As we understand the Farmers' Movement it is a movement for simpler and cheaper State and county govern ments, less office holders, less taxes, and the devotion of the State's money and energy to improving the common schools and developing the farming interests. That is as good a platform as we ask and we are on it." We think too it is a good platform Farmrs oveenta citizens ox every profession can stand on it, and we have no doubt that the bettering of the condition of all the people of the State was the main idea at the bottom of wha: is known as the Farmers' Movement in South Carolina. Lower taxes, improvement of the common schel and the development and im provement of the farming interests of the State has been the platform of The _Herald and News all along. Good, honest and conscientious men and newspapers may differ as to modes and methods in the accomplishment of the principles laid down in this platform but we are fighting for the same end. Then when we differ in methods let us reason the thing together and be cause our neighbor does not agree with us let us not rule him off the platform, because he may be as honest as we are in his convictions us to the proper way ofaccomiplishing the greatest good to the greatest numiber. Trhe.Charleston Daily World conies out squarely for the establishnment of a separate Agricultural College. It looks now as if "your Uncle George Tillman" wvas going to be his own sue cessor from the second Congress D)is trict, of this State. The News and Courier has made warfare on the Hon. G. D). Tillman and bitterly opposed his renomination, on the ground that he was not in sym pathy with the administration, opposed free trade, and did not agree with Mr. Cleveland. On such grounds a good many Democrats could be ruled out of the ranks. HARRISON'S HIDING PLACE. The Great Figurehead will be Moored at Put-In-Bay, while Capt.

[Special to the News and Courier.] E xNoN, August 10.-This co:mmnumty is again restinig in the Iblis-t al reign of peace with all the world, amd the peo ple, both I of the town a.d country, reatihtd easier when it was learned that Sheritf Long had decided to carry the prionter, John (,ist, to (olunhia. There has ieen some mistake as to the right naine of the prisoner, and in jus tice to Robert Barnlwell I beg leave to cvirrect the same. It is admitted by all that the Union (ounty jail is the place to iniprison and keep a lion (ounty prisoiier, but in this case the feelintg engendered by keeping the prisoner here has been hitter iii the extreme, a:ni at once was the eatise of :rrayiir litter feeig be twceen diilirent -cctions of our other w"I-(e Iaceliful Coiunlty. Tlhe keeping of the p,rist nir he rt it jail afterl -um:iay, w\henl ?ie authorities had the time to take -im p,risn'i' er away, acted like a tlare to the i-opIle in whose neighbor h!d the dIastaridly criinital assault was perp,et:rated and not only was the feeling in that ininetiate neiglhbrhood intense, bult inl every section of the ,ouity and in town, and even across B road River in ('hester i'oulty. \\he the who1le trutIh was learned antl there wa l ) dobt iS toi the 'wiiners guilt, he feelilig of the peoIpe Was wrou"l.t up to such a p,itel that innocent livies were put in great dai:ter by keeping the 1risonlei here. I Ii ha been leariaed by good atithority at on Mlonday night a Iarty of-even ty-eight men, with seventy-eight \Wili e ster rilles, crossed Broad River from t he Chester side and met a party on thisside, andi proceee,hid towards towii, stopping four miles out waiting to le joined by similar crowds from the -Urroui ding country. who were rapidly 'utlleri n, w Ien a party of I'intekiey m2e,l. w\h'uo reiaineld in town all day Moinl:t until It o'clock Monday night reconn'iteringL, met themn an(d told thei tlhe condition ofallairs at the jail. It is also kniowit that the party Ieet iin.g the lyiehiers had a hard tiine in their ellits to tun the lyneers fromi what they had set their heads and hearts upon doing. It is also known that the party did not w\:mt to hurt the sieriflaid the rifle conpany, altliough the party was ai'ned to the teeth" with rifles, muskets and shotguns. Among the arguments used, so far as your correspondent has been able to learn, were: That they did not wish to hurt or kill the brave sheriff, or a single member of the Johnson IRifles; that they only found out that the Ri ties were there under the orders of Governor Richardson, and had no ::1 ternative but to protect the sheriff; that the sheriff and the rifle company were not protecting the dastardly negro, but the law and the sheriff in the discharge of his duty and his oath of office; that the sheriff and the military company had all the law on their side; that the military company wore the United States regulation uniforms, and if they, the riflemen, were murdered or killed, there would be a hereafter, and all for "a nigger" that would be hung any ways. It was also learned that some of the party were of the best people of the couity-brave and determined. They had reason enouighl to listen to argu ments, and went b)ack home, but very reluctantly. So far as call be learned the lyvnehling parties hlave all labored under two very great errors. The 4ts was that the rifle company was ojiby at the jail to guard and pronfde prison or The second W .Ga n hundred ai an osti.tag' law, andl whatever late fd?1e righlt anld lawful. When U. -"" d'Kd out that the rifle company ~-ered there by tile Governor to protect tile sheriff and not to "to stand up" for the black scoundrel of a prisoner, they hlad no desire to h urt oneC of them. The second error was -the result, so far as can be learned, of a charge made to the grand jury of York County, byv .udge Pressly whben, (they are jiformed and they believe it imzplicity,) lie chlarg edl thle grandl jury no't tio finid a true hxill against the lynehiers of that counlty, anid said that ptublic opinion wais the law, and law ('ould rnot be enforced, and mni could not lie founid guilty when the act ofso manny of a eotn:tv's citiens joinled them together. 1 (10 noit know the truth of theC charge, anld only judge fromi what they tell mieaind what thfer believe.

What struck mle so forribly at the time and causedl me to remeniher so distinctly what was said, was the resolution accompanying the report. While there was no charge or hint of Governor Thompson having taken any furniture or other property from the Mansion that resolution could iean but one thing. That there had been gross negligence on the part of sonic one, and a public building with its con tents left in charge of irresponsible parties and liable to the depredation of thieves. Can it be supposed that a-ny resolution at all would have been intro duced and passed had the conmmittee found everything as they had expected and as they had. a right to expect? Now let Mr. Dean deny making such a report and giving his reason for intr, ducing the resolution befoxe "u1yj' one undertakes to fast ci' ihe charge of 1 falsehood anyk4re. efthi, and( I am niot dlefeniding hinm. Sthn it was wholly tunjustifiable and have said so, but MIr. Deani did report substantially as I have said and I don't believe he will deny it. I believe lie is a gentleman and true man, and hi owes it to the State to sp)eak out over his owin signature, not through any newspaper editor. A direct, square statement is what we want, froni Mr. Dean himself. The whole House of Representatives heard him, and the clamor against MIr. Bighamr caninot and will not justify any suppression of facts, because thcse facts cannot do mnor'e than make it appear that Governor Thompson had left the house im irre sponsible hands, and that some oif its contents had been stoleni.
