As the people of our County are now called upon again to exereise the light ?il" the ballot in selecting men to ollico, wo desire toaihl but another word upon the saeredness of the trust. It is appalling tu think that men Often tamper with the ballot us if it wen- a mere plaything, given for their amusement, as toys tu their children. If any one within the range of our influence should be disposed thus to trifle with this trust, or should not thoroughly realize its sanctity, let him pause ami rolled. The ballot is a sacred trust given Us for the perpetuation of civilization. It is therefore neither to be trilled with us a plaything, nor to be used in the interest of friendship, or pri vate gain of any character, against the interest of the public. The pub lie weal should he the only question considered, before which all others should lind no lodgment. There are too many who v do with 'ml thought. They never think of the matter until the time comes to write their ballots, and tlieu they per form it more with a desire to lini.-di a task, than to do what is right and best, not uiifrequently transferring the duty lo a friend or acquaintance We are now called upon to elect delegates to the Coutity Convention. Let us not be careless or haphazard about, the matter, but lei iis look' to the qualifications of the men we semi to represent us. Ami when we speak of qiiaiilicatious, we mean qualilica lions-of heart n? well as mind. We want honest as well as aide men. If we discharge this sac real trust v. it h a conscientiousness ?of duty such as we have been endeavoring todis cribe, we may look for bettor public servants and better govern men There is no greater privilege that a freeman enjoys than the ballot. It is the palladium of his liberties, ai.il the safeguard of civilization. TllK LETTERS. The letters of acceptance of I Ian cock and Kllglisll, have both been published. That of Hancock, is short and to the point. Il reas-icrfs hi- well known position in favor of the Subordination of the military to the civil arm of government, demands the purity of the ballot box, iiutaiu ted by fraud, ami tltiiti tlucuccil h\ I he lutyouet, und calls lor honest men in all places oft rust. The Idler of Knglish, is bold and vigorous. It strikes witIioiU gloves, ai the infamous fraud by which the legally elected IVcsidoill lor the last let :n was cheated out of his seat. T he two letters; taken together, present the 1 )utnocrutie position in a clear and forcible light, and stand in In vocable contrast with the glittering generalities of t he Republican iiomi U ccs. CLUH ELECTIONS. We think it an excellent idea lor ?very Hui?, when they elect delegates to tho Democratic Nominating Con-' vention to he held on the 2.~>ih of August, to hold till election within themselves to ascertain their choice J Ibr tin1 various County olllees. This would give die views of each club so thai the Convention would have little difiiculty in making up the ticket in accordance with tin- wishes of tin* people, and lessen the danger of tin- j due und improper influences iu the Convention. We think ibis pi:m the liest sulist it ute lor I he primary sys tem, that could he adopted. Tbc nearer the choice of the ticket i brought to the people, the safer and heller it is for Iis. Let the Democratic voters com posing the various clubs ma kit known their wishes by their suffrages, and the Convention can hardly go astray. It will also iillay ill feeling that may he engendered between contending candidates in the Convention. Let the people speak. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. This Convention, comprising the Counties of Charleston, Clarendon ami Orang burg, met in the Hiber nian Hall at II o'clock Tuesday. (Jen. .las. F. L'.bir of Ornngebufg was made Chairman, ami .1. Ancruin Simons of Charleston Secretary. s. ll, Mcllichnmp nominated lion. M. 1'. O'Connor for re-election to Congress from this District, setting forth .-is. bis claim to the honor, his fidelity, his integrity and bis recog nized ability. The applause which followed the nomination of Mr. O'Connor was ti lit recognition of i!i ? esteem in which he is held by his constituents for his faithful services to Iii-- party sind his people. Major (!. L. Iltiist seconded the nomination in most eloquent terms, showing the work which Mr. O'Con nor bud done in his short term o' olllce, and the promise of better deeds in tho future. A committee was then appointed to wail upon Mr. O'Connor. After a short delay .Mr. O'Connor was brought into the Hall amidst deafen ing applause. Order being restored ho acknowledged the compliment iu one of his characteristic speeches, spark ling with beauty and eloquence, and concluding in the following patriotic sentiment: "The clock is moving lo the hour. Returning just ice is upon I be ascend ing scale. We cannot fail?we must not fail?we shall not fail. Our can didate is to day the pillar of ? people's hope ? the cent re of the world's attention. Froiu the Pacific to the Atlantic, across the Sierrras thi' Rocky and the Allcghauics, we hear the Head of a nation in motion keeping t ime lo the music of the Union. It only remains for us now, each and every one, to do bis dirty? rivet the joints iii your armor, close up your ranks, rally and dress upon the cent re," where Hancock leads with our national ensign a Infi and in the van, and strike home for our glor ions Union and for dear old South ( ai <ilina." THE .JUDICIAL CONVENTION. Tbi? ( on ven! ion, composed of ib 1 egales from ( Imrlestoti and Crange burg, met in Hibernian Hall at I o'clock on Tuesday, ('?)!. C. II. Si mouloii of Charleston, was made Chairman, and Mr. W. Met onnaek, Seen-! a ry. M r. I sane W. Urn no, of ( buries ton, nominated for Solicitor, the pre sent incumbent, Mr. W. Si. Julien Jervey. Col. A. I >. (joodwvn, of f)range burg in si very neat and appropriate >pcech, set forth the claims of Or nngebtirg and her gifted son. Col. \\ . .1. I IcTreville.

Jervey be made unanimous, with b wn ? done, ami Mr. Jervey beiiig hroughl iut< (he Hall, respoiided in sin abb an prsicl ica I > i -t eeh. He said thai although elected by si parly, be must serve si people, and I that, in bis eyes, all men w en- free ami equal before the Isiw, whether I hoy In I white or black, rich or poor. Demi) erat or Republican. The Loom of the Young Men's Christian Association is open every evening in the week except Sunday. A boys meeting will be held at the run in ibis, n ft er noon sit half pasl live o'clock to which the boys arc invited. SHOWING TllhlK HANDS. The Republicans have :iL last shown their hands, :uul it is now posi lively known thafufull Republican Staic ticket will lie placed in the Held and we als?? helieve thai a full Coun ty ticket will also he pu up in Ornngcburg County. 'I" State Convention is ordered for September 2nd, and Samuel W. Melton in mosl spoken of for Governor. We do not believe that the Republican leaders do this as much with a hope of suc cess to Ilm parly, ns to give the ap pearance of life, ami iiidivilv, hi order to strengthen themselves with the National Republicans for the spoils of ol lice. For the same reason a little cam paign money is coining in front flic National campaign fund in order to make the Southern Republicans l'< 11 that they are not entirely givenover by the party. KKK? A WATCH. The Republicans held a grand rati lien lion meeting' in Columbia lasl Saturday, at which Tall, Klliott ant! other <ihl leaders inn de speeches. This meeting, taken in considera tion with the po\\ wow at llhtck ville. a report of which we gave in our I a si issue, gives us some jdea id* the in tensity id* the hankering w hich these political tricksters still hold for the llosh pots of the past. They1 long for a return lb thei green pastures. Four yearsof exclusion have only sharp ened their tippetitos. Let theDoiito crats lie wide itivake, sind so< thai the pasture fences' are not dbwh at auv point. They have got a laste, and we will have to watch to keep the::: out. Tilt: STAK VIM* MAS. To-tiiglil Dr. Tanner, if he live:-, will finish his i<i days of lasting. At the last icjiorl he had finished hi-> SSth day with no very marked di minutiou of strength, and with no worse symptoms, except t!i" unu? a with which he has boon alliictcd in the latter purl of his fast. His case is certainly a remarkable one, an?! everybody looka with "onic interest to the end. TIIETHEASl KHK ANI) At'DlTOU. OitAXOKuCliO, August :trd LSSO. Mr. Editor: Allow me to suggest that it would be right and proper for tho County Democratic Convention to iiomiuati the County Treasurer and Auditor, the same a- they do the rest of the ticket? It is true these arc appoint ive cilices, hul it i.-. to be pre.nuim d that the Governor who appoints would like to know the will of the people. Many, and I believe most of the other t'ounties nominate these ollicers as well ai the rest, ami w hat is the objection to Oraugohurg doing the same. Lei the wish of the people he known, and then the Governor can dons he pleases. Vox RoPi'M. I rNITi;iT.\Nl)TN LINK. |'i:o\ im.m i: Tow n uiiI*. S.
