The correspondents of Tue Daklington News throughout the County arc particularly requested to bear in mind that wn "rentlv desire to have from w - them as often as possible, (the oftener the better), tne local events of their respecth 3 sec tions.

The outcome of the primaries in the Third and Fourth Districts leaves no [doubt as to the mo tives which influenced the Till- manites in so strenuously oppos ing that method of nominating the Governor and Congressman from the Si :th District. FILLIBUSTERING POLITICIANS. The see-saw of politics has put the Republicans on top again in the House, and there they will remain as long as they can keep a Republican quorum in Wash ington ; how long that will be no man can tell, but the proba bilities are that it will be until the tariff bill is disposed of and not a day longer. The majority jumped on the fillibustering Democrats as soon as their quo rum reached Washington, and not only seated Langston, the negro contestant who was the cause of the fortnight’s dead lock, but also seated Miller, the Republican contestant from South Carolina, in place of El liott.

The Repub Still No Let Up. L it J. Mil, —o- Editorial Notes. Hon. 'tVilliam Elliott has been re nominated for Congress by the Demo crats of the Seventh District. The tariff bill.has at last passed the House, and congress will probably ad journ on Tuesday next. The corner stone of the Alliance Wn ehouse at Greenwood was laid wit imposing ceremonies on the 34th ult. At the recent primary held in y, Col. John T. Sloan. licans criticise the Democrats very harshly for the methods they resorted to in order to pre vent the seating of the negroes, but people with good memories can easily recollect the Republi cans resorting to things just as bad when the Democrats were in control of the House. Un prejudiced people would be glad to see fillibustering entirely dropped, and the majority, no matter which party it happened to represent, allowed to legis late as it might see fit. But this we shall never see as long as Columbia, and|Mr. McDonald Furman of Sm. ter couiuy, writes to the AVir.v and Courier to renew his suggestion that the latter city celebrate' its een- tentennial at that time. The work at Clemson College is |,re gressing favorably, and under the efficient management of the new pres ident, Dr. H. A. Strode, the institu tion bids fair to be an honor to Cal houn and to the State. The mechan ical department will be open in a year from now, and the agricultural the year after. Since the first primary in the Fourth District, the friends of Cant. Shell, hoping to give theirjumn “a lift, " have Issued a circular letter to the voters of that district, in which they urge them to support Shell, using •• the wiles of the demagogue in place f argument, and making all possib appeals to class prejudice At a meeting of the Democratic clubs of the State of North Carolina held in Raleigh on Sept. 24th, the mention of the name of Senator Vance was received with great en thusiasm, and the friends of the, Senator are beginning to hope that there arc professional politicians, he will receive, after all, the support Of all the decent white people in the State when he stands for re-election. John R. Toll jrt, a white Republi can. has been n uuinated for Congress against Col. Johnstone in the Third District. It appe- rs to be the policy of the Republicans of the State to make nominations in all the congress ional districts this year, tot that they expect to elect their men, but in the hope that they will be “counted in” by an ultra partisan House; of Rep resen tati ves. A correspondent of the Ne s and Courier says: “As the Cincinnati Com merici the Tribune and others have become so deeply interested in our digestive organs, please tell them for us, that we read the file of The News and Courier of Moses's regime every it orning at 6 o’clock, and by T we find we are able to digest crow. Of course we will give up eating it as soon os we safely can ” A dispatch from Richmond, Va., under date of Sept. 25th, says: A special from Lexington to-night says that two cadets at thp Virginia Mili- tar Institute, Frank W. MeConnico, of Texas, and W. T. Taliaferro, of Gloucester County, Va, engaged to day in a personal encounter, in which fifteen rounds were fought. T wo hours afterwards Taliaferro died ; it is presumed from the punishment received at the hands of MeConnico. The affair lias cast a gloom over the entire community. All efforts to heal the breach in the Democratic ranks in Sumter county have proved unavailing, and there is now no longer any doubt that there will be two Democratic tickets in the field in that county. A primary for the nomination of county officers was held by order of the “Straightout" county executive committee on Thursday. The vote polled was very, very light. W. D. Scarborough was nominated for the Senate, Altamont Moses, A. K. Sanders, F. Mullett and S. B. Jones for the House, P. F Galilanl for county treasurer. A. B Stuckey for auditor, John T. Green for school commissioner. The following advertisement, sign ed by Col, J. C. Colt, President of the State Alliance Exchange, appears in the daily papers : “In pursuance of a resolution adopted by the Trustee Stockholders, at a meeting held in the city of Greenville on July 24, 18SKI, and of the Board of Directors of the Farmers’ Alliance Exchange, a meet ing of the Trustee Stockholders will be held in the citv of Columbia, 8. C. on the Fourth Tuesday in October (28th) at 8 o’clock P. M., for the pur pose of altering or : odifying the pla.i of the Sta.e Exch ige in such manner as they may .ink proper, end for the consideration of such other matters as may be brought (be fore them." THAT INCREASE IN THE STATE DEBT. When called upon to give his authority for the assertion that the State Debt had increased during the past decade, our Philadelphia correspondent pro duces it promptly. It seems that bo h-ss an r.uthority than the Christian Neighbor states that the census commissioners have discovered this “mare’s nest”, and published it to the world. As these commissioners have been guilty of a vile slan der against the State, our brother of the Christian Neighbor should trace the information which he received in regard to this matter to its very source, and convict these Government officials of the gross error of which they have been guilty. THE FLORENCE INDEPENDENTS. As a natural result of the po litical furor which has swept over the State, the people of more than one county are smart ing under the conviction that incompetent and unworthy men have been nominated for office, and that they will either have to “swallow” them or be re garded as “bolters” from the ranks of the Democratic party. This feeling is nowhere strong er than in Florence County, and nowhere is it more justifiable. While, however, the good people of that County had a ticket thrust upon them which was enough to “stir a fever iu the blood of age,” they would have done far better to have put up with the ills they had rather than fly to others that they knew not of. When Pluck, Brains and the Alnlighty Dollar do the driving the wheels will fly! o o o o A Complete Stock of Dry Goods, Notions, S.‘ oes, Hats and Cloth ing, at prices that make competitors howl an 1 customers smile.

Levy, a colored mail agent, who nas been nominated for Congress against Hemphill by the Republicans of the Fifth District, says that the State Re publican Executive committee, to whom was left the selection of a State ticket by the recent Republican convention, have agreed to recommend to their party the support of the follow ing ticket: Governor, A. C. Haskell; Lieutenant Governor, John Bratton ; Secretary of State, J. Q. Marshall; State Treasurer, W. A. Ancrum; Comptroller General, Joseph Barnwell; Attorney General, J. H. Earle ; Adjutant and Inspec tor General, M. L Bonham ; Su perintendent of Education, J H. Rice. Other leading Repub licans in the State declare that Levy’s whole slate was fabrica ted by himself, and as it turns out that he is not even a mem her of the Executive Committee, it is highly probable that their statement is correct. Whether it is or not, it is certain that neither Col. Haskell nor any of the gentlemen who are named with him would consent to al low the use of their names for the purpose of defeating the regular nominees of the Demo- cratic party, however distateful beautiful stock of it may be for them to have to 1 Fall and Winter Millinsry “swallow said nominees. the latest styles in Ladies’, Misses'and R.

A “green goodi*’’ man sent Home circulars to John D. Bethea and William B. Atkiniion. of Marion county. As they wanted to make a fortune cheap, they promptly “bit”, and wrote back to the “green goods" man for samples He sent them a two dollar bill, which was, of course, gem: - ine, and told them that, for a small sum in cash, h would give them n car-load of hills like the sample sent them, “all made from plates stolen from the Treasury Department in Washington.” The men carried theil* “sample" to a bank, and were so de lighted at finding that if would pas , that they set of at once for New York to purchase their carload.

He does not point out any way for defeating Tillman,puere ly expressing the opinion that an opposition ticket should be placed in the field, and closes as follows: “It seems to my humble judgment more rtant at this day to oppose the on of Mr. Tillmiai than It was to Whether they put up Memmen ger and a full Republican ticket, or whether they simply endorse prominent Democrats, it is equally certain that the white people of the State will rally to the support of the ticket nomin- inated by the Democratic Con vention, and that Tillman and all of his lieutenants will be elected by an overwhelming majority in September.
