The Democratic Stale Convention meets in Colttmbin on next Tuesday. St> far as heard from the ditferent counties, there is almost universal opposition to Gen. Gary, and a large majority of the delegates are la vorn hie to the nomination of (leu. Ha good. There is a disposition in some parts of the Stsite tit put up :i thin! Candidate in the interest of party harmony, hut we do not think that it amounts to much. ()n the subject of .Inno nominations there is considerable dillcrencc of opinion, with a preponderance, we think, in favor of early nominations. We believe, however, thai what ever is done will be for the lu-st in tcresi of lh<' State and putty, for we are glad to see that there is an im proving disposition on the part of public tuen to rise above private in terests and look to the good of the! conn try. THE PRE SI DEN TIAL 0 LT-LOOK. From n survey of the field al this particular juncture it looks very much like Grant, on Ihe Republican side, and Bayard on the Democratic side will be the Presidential nominees. It is true, as Hon. XL P. O'Connor said in his speech before the Charleston Democratic Convention, that XIr. Tilden may muster the largest vote.-it first, but the South has fallen out with Tilden, and bo en il not get the necessary two-thirds vote. XIr. Fitdd, i-p-ioh.-i bJLv_JJja^ju?xtr<111ggst candi date to XIr Ilayard, inconsequence of his late published judicial opinion, will be put in the light of an advocate of Strito sovereignty which impairs, his availability. (ion. Hancock will be put in tho category of a .Southern sympathize] so his boom would be weak. So that, considering ihe abuse of Tilden by the South, und the weak points in Field ?ml Hancock, and the lack of prominence of all the other candidates mentioned, llayard is evi dently the leading man. His peace speech during t he war we believe is a weak point, ami on that account we think lion. David Davis id* Illinois would be the most available candi tlatc before t he r<at nt ry. Rut, before the Democracy, llayard stands first, and wc think w ill get the nomination. It' so. it will be a clear light between military and civil supremacy, and iu tli.it light we think it would be fortunate. Granl is die embodiment of the military, und Bayard of the civil idea. Ifthis question could he kepi clearly before the count ry, unmixed wil h side issues of any nature, we believe the result would be favorable to the Demo eracy. Let it be the uiin of our lead ers to keep this idea clearly defined and set forth. RETTING READY. The meeting of the Democratic County Convention of Charleston on Xlonday was a"very harmonious and satisfactory one. The delegates go io Columbia instructed in favor of .Inno nominal ions, but left free lo the Gubernational choice. The dele gatioit however is anti-Gary. XIr. dos. \Y. Barn well was made Con uly Chairman vice G. L. Btiisl resigned. Resolutions were passed endorsing Hon. XL P. O'Connor for re-election to Congress, and XIr. Jcrvey for Soli cit or. XIr. O'Connor was culled upon and made mi eloquent address on Nation al polities. His first choice for the Democratic nominee is Bayard,and his seeoiid Field. He thinks how ever thai Tilden will show the larg <?-( number of votes on the llrsl bal lot, bul he ean'l be nominated. Al r. O'.Connor thinks that Granl will be noininnted by the Republicans, bul lie says thai he bus assurances from Ohio, Illinois and other Northern Slab's liuil Ihe opposition lo him is so greal that lie can,l cafry ihose States. He t!.i:.!vs be is the easiest inat! to beat. ORANUEBURG'S BOYS ?ND GIRLS. I The Courtroom was crowded last evening to witness the annual exhi bition of Molliohnmp's school. Tita stage was guyly dressed with llowers; vases, pictures and mottoes greeted the eye, showing the lively interest of the scholars in the occasion. On the singe were the Revs. K. Cooke, J. I). A. Brown, O. A. Darby, Lawrence and Then-ell, Dr. A. & Sal ley, Gem Izlar, t'ol. Frederick, (.'apt. S. Dibble, W. J. DeTreville, Major Whaloy, W. L. Glaze, John A. Hamilion. ,f. B. aiid W. B. .Much, Ksqs. The brass band, of twelve pieces, headed the procession, add the principal, S. B. Mcllichnmp, ICsq., ebntlueted his school of about sixty .to the south side of the platform; Mr. Julian A. Salley, his assistant, following. The girls looked lovely in t heir swiss and pink; the boys were heat with their blue badges. Alter a prayer by Bev, (). A. Darby, the baud furnished :i treat of music. .Mr. I>. 15. Owens, of our town, has had the band in train ing- a short time comparatively, and the public are getting the beneiit of his success. The exercises of decla mation, dialogues, addresses, music ami singing by the scholars occupied about two hours and :i half, ami may In- summed up in a hearty well-done to (.'.'tellers and taught. Tin: programme was diversified with every style of selection, 'heroic, sentimental, comic and grave, it were a venture that i considerately decline to name the best performer; in fai t even if it had been an occasion lor criticism 1 would honestly have been puzzled to Bay who did best. Mr. Van Orsdcll, by request, per formed upon the "zither." His tom b is exquisite, bringing out at times the clfect of a lull orchestra, ('apt. Dibble presented u special prize? Tennyson's poems?to Miss Ollie Wannamukcr, ami so ended n pleas ant evening.?CjuclqucfoiH in News and ('ourier. A WRONG. The speech of lion. B. II. Hill, of Georgia, against the acquiescence of the Democrats in Kelloggs retaining his fraudulently obtained sent, was "itllT Willst n sworn hie argument; aTuT," however we may admire ('arolina's statemen, Hampton and Butler, we oaiino) endorse the flings that have been made at Georgia's brilliant son. The majority of the South believe Senator Hill to be right. It is ;i dis grace for the United States Senate to sanction fraud under any con'sidera. tions. There is no excuse for it. To put ii on the ground of policy is des picable. We should do right if Hie heavens fall. We don't like to hear oven whisperings of bargains ami agreements. It is this kind of thing that is ruining our country, ami. un less it is slopped, we may as well give up ail hope of free government. Mr. Hill took the ground that the body that elected Kellogg was not a Legislature, which is true, ami that allowing him a seat is in violation of (he 1'. S. Constitution; which declar es that "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each Stale, chosen by l he I .ogi.slnl uro t hereof." PRIM A It I ES. hi t1. . > ;>u.iit\ Democratic Conveu tio'.i of Cu'vlo* on, hold on Monday. Iho following resolution oflbred by Mr. J. J. Pringle Smith wits uuaui 111? msly adopted: Rest lyod, Tb.al the exeetitive com mittoe be. an I they are hereby, re quested to consider the practicabili i v and expediency, at future elections, of choosing I he eandhhits of the Democratic party by meaus of prim ary elections instead of nominating conventions, mid that they report the result of t heir conclusions to the next < 'ottnty < onvontion. Biehland and Aikcn have also I adopted the Primary system instead of the Convention, that is, for the puiple themselves lo nominate h\ ballot, instead of by proxy, as is now tlojte in < '(invention. Pl'KITY OETHH BALLOT BOX. Senator David Davis says: "The ballot box should hothosnfo gtiard of the Republic, for it isin tondoil to express the free will of a free people: therefore elections ought to be exempt from the presence of any menacing force, and to be free from the contamination cd"corrupt re turning boards. No parly deserves confidence thai seeks its candidacy by striking down honest suffrage either bv the use of troops, or by fraud or by iiitiiuidal ion. I THE PROSPECT^ There never was a more i>rojpisi#g future i'or tlit; Democratic party of the Stale (find County. In the State no one will dare to oppose the Demo cratic nominees, and fii'tho County the Radicals, if they raise their heads at all, w ill only do Bo'to receive a Waterloo defeat.. The inlhtence of good and honest Democratic govern incut-, is ftdt, und the people will not allow the country to relapse into Radical barbarism. 'All that is ne cessary for success is.nu absence of selfish motives, and the exorcise of pure and genuine patriotism. Let men think less of olllce, and realize that material prosperity will do us all more.good* Good government is of first importance. Then follows immigration, railroads and tho'gener :il building up of the country. A HAPPY COINmiENCE. Gen. Gordon has suddenly resign ed as Senator from Georgia, und Gov. Colquitt hats'appointed Fx Gov. .loseph K. Brown in bis Stead. Bx Gov. Brown is rich, smart, wily, and without the best of records as a poli tician. Iu fact he has many enemies in Georgia for his conduct during Radicalism, and the indignation of Democrats cannot be restrained. Brown is a rich Railroad President; and wants honors. Gordon Is poor and needs money and a Railroad Presidency. Singular to say they have both got what they wanted. It is said, however, to have been entire ly the result of accident. The Charleston Democrat which.) has been suppressed since the 2St!i of April under a warrant taken out by the City Council of Charleston for the satisfaction of a judgment obtain ed in 1S7S tor n license alleged to he tine the city by W, J. Oliver, the edi tor of t he Democrat, for a business he was said to have been carrying oil during that year, is out again ami seems to be saucier than ever. The Democrat calls Mayor Cdurtenay the bogus .Mayor, and claims that the execution was made because Ihe Democrat was .uncompromising in its advocacy of Sale, ami is too bold and dejhtnt in '^y'l^i1,'^'1^ of the Gourt enay administration. AW know nothing of the truth of the matter, but we can hardly believe that in the nineteenth century an attempt would be made froth an ihtelligeiit source lo gag the press. May there tint be two sides to the question V - i?l ? - ? ? ?in The General Assembly of the Pres byterian Church of the United States held an interesting meeting in Char leston during the week.
