Imnmediately upon my return :r, the meetin( of the state Press Ass'oci ation at (;eorgetown. I had to leave to attend the mleetinr of tIe N crth aro Ina Synod at EnochtieN. C. I re turned this Imorning, after travel ing all night, very tired. still. I want to say something very briefly of the meeting at (eorgetown, and express my apprceiation of the kindne,s re ceived at the hands of the good people of this beautiful and historie old town. These annual gatherings of the ed itors of the State always result in good. An exchauge of opinions, and a dis Cussion of the practical, as well as the theoretical, phase of the profession, will enlarge one's view, of things, not to speak of the social features. The hospitality of the citizen . of (;eorgetown seems to have had no bounds. A committee of the Board of Trade, with the president. Mr. L. S. Ehrieh in charge, met the train at Lane's and took us in charge, anti we were entertained right royally at private re:idences. Of this special committee was Mr. josiah Doar. editor of the Times. and als Sherit of Ze!orgeown. This committee, under the direction of the Board of Trade, had entire charge of the entertainmalt and did their work well. The aociati.)n w.ai well att-nded and much interest manifested, and many practical questions discussed. The annual address of Col. Hoyt was one of unusual interest. The sail on the bay was a treat to an inland editor. We also had the pleas tire of zittending the unveiling cere monies of tile monument erected by the ladies to the Confederate dead, and to hear the able and eloquent address of Gen. Elliison C qi rs. I was entertained at the hospitable home of _Mr. W. 6. Guyton and Lel under special o*,ligatiipns to him for kindnesses. Newberrry uhou:i now feel an es pecal interet i:i -he Association as one of her so-s vast tnmouslv elected pre-Ident f<r the ensuing year. But in honoring him thle A eintion has but shown an Opreciati n of true merit and genuine dvvotion to journalism and has honored imelf. Mr. W. H. Wallace will prove a wise selection, and what can be. will be done by him to elevate the charater and tone of journalism in S>uth Carolina. The Herald and News extends its congratu lations to its con:emuporary. There are nvany other things I nmight speak of, tbut the space is wanting. MIaj. L. WV. C. Bialock was also in our party from Newberry and enjoyed the festi'-e ccasion along with the editors. We shall all long remember pleasantly our visit to Georgetown. E. H. A. MIay '3, 1So1.

MIay loth, is generally observed as memorial day in South C'arolina. TIhe Cotton Plant's young man says "'The Herald and News has about got Auld and should be sati.fied.'' The young mian's vision is blinided byr a selfish purpose.

Stephens, president of the National Editorial Association, re sponded to the toast of "Our Country," and in the course of his speech an allu sion to Gen.

The assenmbled coipany testi tied its noble sentiments of love and admiration for the distinguished ex Senator; aid every word of straightout. enuine Democratie doctrine arousod the most pronounced approval. Truly, the press banquet was an old fashioned Democratic assemblage. and would scarcely have afforded any pleas ure to a latter-day political faith.

[:4p)ecial to the Daily News.] C1AitARrON, April :,(.-The voice )f the unterrilied democracy of Charles on was uplifted to-day and its song vill be heard all over the land. The -itv deiocratic conventioi w%lhich met ii flibernian hall at noon consisted of 1j out of the 114 delegates elected. In he ranks of the delegates were many )f the meu who answered to the roll !all in 1', and quite a number of the 'Iug demt)rats who have grown up inee. The object of the convention Nas to endeavor to heal the breach now ?xisting in tle party. It was presided )-ver at tne outset v Major Edward Willis, the chairman of the municipal lemocratic executive committee, who 1n calling the convention to order, aid: "I believe the best interests of the leniocratic pVrty will be promoted by lien door deliberation. Crge the most iueral and unrrestricted registration. I ravor a primary election that will be air and impartial. recognizing every >ruanized faction of the party. I hope vour deliberai ions will be such as may pare the citiztns of Charleston any nssensi,)n. bitterness and ixcitement ikely to grow out of the long c.upaign which is befo7e us. 'It is the duty and privilege of the municipal denmocracy to so alter our rules as to ad:pt whatever there may be in the rules of the State democratic -ommittee which will enable us to act in concert and harmony with the party. We owe it to the niembers of the de mocracy of Charleton to select the best men in our ranks to represent us." [Applause]. B. H. Rutledge, Jr., was then elected chairman of the convenl ion. On motion of State Senator A. T. Smythe, a corimittee of twelve, one from each ward, was apPointed to con sider and rtport what cianges, if any, were necessary in the constitution of the municipal democratic party. This conmi.tee, after a recess, sub nitted a report wh;ch, in elivet: adopted the constitution of the party adopted bv the State democratnc pary in lSIHI. It provides for the election by the con vention of a new executive committee which is to serve until the meeting of the democratic convention in the fall. The nembers of the conmnittee are to be suggested by the democratic ward clubs. The representation in the con vention is to be based upon the mem bership of the ward clubs as under the State denocratie party constitution. In other words every coneession Was made to t he demands of the alle:red reformers. After electing an executive committee the convention adjourned subject to a recall (if tile committee. Another convention under the auspi ces of "Ocktv' ('len will be held on Monday next. At this convention the delegates will be selected by the demo cratic ward clubs recently organized in the city and it is expected that a muni cipal ticket will be put out. The regular demiocracy will not norn inate its ticket until the fall. It should be mentioned that a considerable number of the democrats of Charleston have enrolled themselves in the newly organized ward clubs. It is not improb able that the may convention will be captured by the regular democrats, better known as "ringsters." There are in the city not over :,50P registered voters, whites and blacks, democrats and republicans. At the democratic primaries yesterday nearly 1,:tInl votes were polled. No report was nmade to night of the number of '-reformers" who voted at the ward club meetings for delegates to the MIay convention. INDICATIONS OF A G;ENERA L C03iPRO 311SE. CH1ARLFSTON, M1ay 2.-Thle newly elected democratic executive committee held its first meeting to-day. A num ber of the recently organized demo cratic clubs sent in their applications for membership. All of these applica tions were referred to a sub c.ommiittee with instructions for enrollment under the State constitution would be re ceived later. This action of the dem crat ic executive COm mittee evidently means that there will ne a conhpro mise in the ranks of the party. No oficial action, however, will be taken until after thc adjournment of the lay coniventionl, wvhich rep resents a ver'y respectable minority- of the demil oeritie party in the city. The M1ay convention meets on MIonday next. I t wil. be composed of very respectable members of the denmocracy of Char lestm. The supposition is that the convention will adjourn without ac tion and( the work of the municipal den ocratic executive convenltionI seems tol have healed the breach in the party. It is possible that thlere may be two tick*ets in th'e field, but the election will be deided by the democr.ats en tirelv. Tm: OL-:vE BRAN( ii. E-pecial to Greenuville News.] Cn. isr'ToN, S.

TOWNSEND AS A DEMAGOGUE. The Ex-Radical Judge Inciting Alliance men Azainst Other Classee. LSpecial to the State.] BENNETSVILLE, S. C., May 1. .Judge C. P. Townsend delivered an Alliance address to a small crowd, last Saturday evening, about nine miles. north of town. His speech was a ti rade of abuse against the:noney power, and calculated to prejudice the country people against the town people. He :oId his audience that the farmers of Marlboro Covnty were financially I worse ott now than they were fifteen S years ago, and told thei that the Bennettsvi:le people were building E brick stores, tine re-idences and laying P off elegant flower yards with the 1 n:onev which they should have. His F speeci was a continual chain of ex travagaut assertifls, calculatel to do much harni, and will, if believed, breed I much prejudice and auimo-ity. It is i unfortuo-ite that the Alliance will in- I vite such speakers to address thei, but ( fortunately the citizens of Marlboro are I no longer influenced by such speezhes. Why do they call on lawyers to do their speech making and expound Alli ance doctrine? I- -] !ew Advertissement.
