U?30\ the corsty (Ii.umiANsinr-~ The editor of this p:iper desires to express his high appreciation of the compliment contained in the resolu tion passed at the hist meeting of lue Congarco Club, which appears in the ofllcial report published to day, re commending him to the Convention ns a suitable person for the ollice of County Chairman of tin Democratic party, and to return his heart tell thanks to the Club lor their conII deuce and good opinion; bul he would most respectfully beg that the atten tion of Democrats would be t urned in another direction in looking for one to fill this important ollice, as the duties of the position would seriously conflict with his other duties, both public and private. He feels assured that there ore others fully competent, who have the leisure and the ability to 1111 the ollice, and thai the party would suiler no detriment by his declination. He feels that he can work more vigorously and acceptably, for the success of the I leinoci at ie party i :i i lie position which he now occupies, und to t his end I he columns of the Ti.mks shall be most earnestly devoted. In this connection permit us !?> 1 recommend, as a matter absolutely ; essential lo victory in the coining campaign the utmost harmony among the members of the party', and :: sphil i of concession on all sides. Let ihi-s spirit enter into the cam paign in the beginning, und be main tained to the end, :\y.'\ victory will perch upon our banners. Allow us in conclusion, to con gratulate the Congarco Club for hav ing the honor of being the first Club to wheel into litlO tllld uplift the banner of Democracy in the long anticipated and momentous Campaign (d* I SSO. material PROSl'ekity. The evidences of material pros perity are every where around ns. Our people have almost entirely re covered from the effects of the war and the masses of th are doing better than ever before. In one r? - j spec! a long stride forward has been ' made, and that is in Ihe increased production of the soil, which Is tin direct result of the revolution in out labor system. Slavery was a heavy clog to progress and improvement. "Necessity i> Ihe i. other of in\< nib n, ami. under Ihe i hanged s\ stem, i ho \ adage has proved true. Inventions atiil improvements in agricull urn I im plements and in Ihe cult i vat i in of I ho soil have increased hundred fold since the close of the war. One aero now produces what live did before. Small farms are taking the places of immense domains; sind energy, thrift and neatness is every vvhereohserv ed. And another result of Ihe wsir, in which we should feel proud, is the prompt and cheerful adaptation of our Soul hern women to the changed circumstances. As the> nohl^ inin: Lstered to our wants during the war they cheerfully adapted themselves to the sitii.ition. when all was ovi r nnd the cause losL. The prosperity of the South is more due to them than to any other cause. May Heaven smile upon i Ik hi and hie? s 1 hem ! Nor me the signs of prosperity alone lo he found in our prh ale ] boiues. The establishment of fne- j tories nil over the Sotit h. tu I the ui gantic Railroad movements which are redounding lo ihe prospei': Southern cities, till poml Iii Ihe t ainu direction. Had it nol been for the terrible scourge d!' carpet1, bag rille, which was almosi as great a curse an the war itself, I hose things would have conn to pa SS l< >Ug hel'i-re. In ibis go;iei:il prosperity all are j benefited, Ihe laborer aswcll as the capitalist. The eyes of Ihe colored man ought especially to he opened to the benefits of honest nnd economical government, if they w.ould <>:ily lay aside their prejudices, and free them selves from the influence of designing and corrupt politicians. Tin' era of prosperity is dawning upon us. Do we, upon the very threshold of a new ami bright futtiroi which is fraught with happiness to all. intend to allow ran- and party prejudices to divide us, ami engulf us in political and material ruin. Li t the common sens1' of our com munity assert itself, and politicians be cast in the background and the future of the South, in which white ami black are equally involved will be lull of promise and cheer. i HK CLUB HOLLS. We think it very important that tin- Club Rolls should be carefully reviewed and corrected in the prima ry meetings of the campaign. Great changes take place in two years, and the electing of delegates on the basis of the old roll is not likely to result in an equal, fair and proportionate representation in the (Vuntv Convention. Besides this, we want a true aiid gi nut no, a nd not an imaginary list lor practical purposes. Order, system and discipline arc essentials to siit cess in all things. Let us organize, and do it practi cally, iI' want to succeed. OLK PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Hon. Rohcrl Aldrieh, of Burnwell, has recently delivered an address lie forts the Teachers* Institute of Blnck \ii!o. which is Idled with sen ihlcahd practical suggest ions, lie says the two hundred thousand dollars now levied is not sttflleienl to run the schoois more than one-fourth of the time, and yet the Mate can do no more. What then isto be doneV .Mr. Aldrieh says, let the people, of their owu accord, augment the school tax ami keep the schools open the whole lime. The State furnishes the basis; let the people furnish the ref t. Let bach community make .:i> ail it can. The people are not too poor id ' j educate their children. "Themoney,*' Mr. Aldrieh truthfully says, "which i i paid in at the door of :;::v circus which visits our county would sup port many sclioola -Tor nOiir) muiittis." Besides this, if the money is not i given, there is not a farmerwho could not pay in kind or provisions for the education of his children. It is only in this way that we can utilize the public schools and secure tliii 1 est teachers. The pai'< nt - and the State must cooperate. In this way v.i might build up a useful and practical public school system. THE KILKENNY FICHT. The regular Democratic Conven tion of the Slate of New York, and tlic Kelly Con Vent it a met oii Monday in I5yi-jicii.se. The Kilkenny light it seems is to be kept up. A proposi tion was ottered from the Kelly wing to the Regular Convention lor a conciliation, but was res pectfully do [?lined. Mr. Tilden was ni".-i llercely do.-, nounced bji the Kelly crew. I'Torn all appearances the parly in New York is hopelessly divided, and, unless a reconciliat ion iseffected, de feat seems ine\ ilal'lc.

Mr. Robinson was elected to the Clerk's ollice once already by the people, but was turned out by the Radicals after holding the ollice about a month.
