According to appointment this Convention met in the Court House on Wednesday morning in laige re presentation and more excellent .spirits than we remember of wit Hess ing at any previous time. At 12 o'clock the Convention was called to onler by dipt. Samuel Dibble, our County Chairman, in a most happy and appropriate address which was received with loud applause. Before proceeding to business. Rev. I. O. A. Connor, by invitation otter ed a fervent prayer. ('apt. Dibble was unanimously elected Permanent President, and Messrs. W. L. Glaze and J. N. Hook .Secretaries. Nominations for the various ( utility olliccrs, which was the business of the (.'(invention, wore then in order. Gen. dames F. Izlar was proposed for Senator, and nominated by accla mation amidst deafening applause after which he responded in a strong speech which was again loudly ap plauded. In accordance with the resolut ion giving to the colored people repre sentation on the ticket in proportion to their numbers in the party, the colored delegates t'ieti retired and recommended the following to the Convention from which to select: For Representative Aaron Sim mons and Alexander Brown, and for County Commissioners Marshall Jones and .lohn Sellers. An election was then held with the following re sult: For Representative. Alexander Brown; fur County ('omniIssloucr M arsball Jones. A resolution was then adopted making a majority of the enrolled members of the Convention necessa ry to the choice of the nominees. There being 14ft llelcglltt.H 711 votes were necessary to effect a nomination and thus the full sense of the Con vention would be expressed. We will first mention the names put forward and voted for for the various nlllccs and then give the full tit ket as made up. For Representatives the following names were presented: J. W. Sum iiiers, J. C. Holninn, Augustus Find. It. II. Knotts, .7. W. Sellers, W. L G lent on, 0. If. Ott, who declined, R II. Tarrant, M. I. Browning, O. N. Bowman. W. C Haue, C. J. Stro mau. I. T.

The canvassing and voting result ed in the following ticket which is presented to the people: For Senator?J. F. Izlar. For Representatives??I. W.

For School Commissioner?Stilus R. Melliehanip. For County Commissioners?C. G. Dantzlcr, Joseph A. Fanning, Mar shall Jones. Coroner?J. L. Heidtman. The utmost harmony prevailed, and the disposition of all the dele gates .seemed to be to lay aside per sonal feelings and act for the best in terest of the County. So many ex cellent names were presented for the I different of Ileus that it seemed hard to decide who to vote for. Some of I the best men in the County, and some too who have spent much time ami labor for the success of the Democra cy were not chosen, hut the Conven tion acted for the best, and we arc j glad to see with what alacrity and good feeding those who were not nominated endorse the action of the I Convention, ami rally to the support of the ticket. After passing a resolution of thanks to Capt. Dibble for the etil eient manner in which ho discharged the duties of President, the Conven tion adjourned fine die. The ticket is the lair choice of the people as expressed through their I representatives. As-to their favorable endorsement of what their representatives have done, we cannot entertain a doubt. PAUSE AND*THIN*K. It would be widl for the Radical leaders, wbeso harangues on last Sat urday, to an ignorant and deluded I race, were so calculated to do mis chief, to pause and consider the con sequences to which their indiscretion may haul. The colored people are naturally a peaceable und happy I elass of citizens, and, if left to them selves, the harmony of the races, so essential to the public prosperity and happiness, will be preserved. But when a set of men. whose cravings for ofllcc #so blind their judgment as to cause them to play upon their ig norance and prejudice, it is not hard to foresee to what results their lolly might lead. The white people want no trouble They desire the races to live togeth er peaceably and happily, and have (lone everything in their powert?) promote this end. The Democratic party has fairly and freely offered to the colored people'a share of the public offices with them if they I would come in and help in the cause of goixl government, and the colored people cannot fail to feel themselves that their condition has already been benefited by the short period of Democratic rule They enjoy nil their liberties. I hey arc educated, and they are increasing in prosperity. But, if trouble comes, let the peo ple of the North and the hot-headed and foolish office seekers who arc courting it, mark well who are re sponsible. Let the people of the North sec that their agent whom they sent I down hereto save the souls of the colooed people, hut who has captured the post otliec. is busying himself in I making incendiary political har angues, and leaving the poor souls to take care of Ihclilselvcs. How the colored people, ignorant as they are, can fail to sec that I he I object of these carpet bag hacks, whose wondrous love and solicitude for their political welfare is so earn estly professed, is office, we are at a loss to see. Take away olllee, or the hope of office from them, ami all this wondrous love would subside. Hut bad as the greed for ofllcc is. ?heu fairly and legitimately in I du Ige? I, Ihc criminality of such inju dicious and mischief making speech es, i.-> a hundred fold worse. We warn those who are indulging in them whether from thoughtless IIess or with evil design, to pause and think well of the consequences. If the colored people ki >w what is best IVir themselves they will turn a i deaf ear to alt such advice. Nor need the responsible parties expect to escape the consequences of their mischief making. AX ATTEMl^ETTlublC'AL RALLY -A SICKLY AFFAIR. In obedience to circulars lavishly distributed throughout the County hy the Radical Ring leaders, an nouncing a grand O ai field and Arthur Ratification meeting, with Maekay, Taft, and others, of the lights, as speakers, a crowd ofahotit six or seven hundred blind and dusky followers of the Ring of the party, gathered into town on Satur day, and after inarching in proces sion through our streets, repaired to Sunny Side, when; a stand bad been erected for the speech-making. The procession on the street was about one-fourth the length of the Chamberlain procession of '715, and along the way a desperate clforl was made to raise an enthusiasm, hut t he yells were so sickly that everybody seemed to get the Mmthe speakers included. Hut while the crowd was much smaller than iu the Chamberlain ral ly, it was a noticeable fact that the mules were fatter, and the men bet ter clad, which speaks well for the good effects of the few years of Demo cratic rule. Many of them came in on their own animals, bought under the era of good government, and others were furnished with mules, wagon, and forage by their Demo cratic employers for the full enjoy ment of the harmless frolic. At about 12 o'clock S. L. Duncan, the County Chairman, introduced George Holiver, who made the lirst speech, in which he completely out-Rolivored Holiver. He dilated a long time upon Garlield as the poor man's candidate, urging Iiis deluded hearers to stick to the Republican ticket, telling them not in listen t<> the Democrat-, but to come out and cast their vote for the Republican ticket which was as much their duty as to go to church on Sunday. He rend letters or dispatches from" Mackay, Taft, Lee it Co.. excusing themselves tor not coining, and veiy generously added in extenuation that they were engaged at more doubtful posts, know ing that Orangebiirg was able to take care of herself, lie pitehed right and left into the.Deiym? cratic party, anil said that he was not only innocently prosecuted, but un justly prtMcufetf by that party: that Solicitoi dervey brought twenty in dietmeuts against him. and otfereil to drop them ii' he would resign his olllcc as Clerk of Court, but that he indignantly refused the ntfer, pre ferring to stand his trial, and, if guil ty, crack rock in the I'cnitont iary. He also told his hearer.-that they would have a fair election, or the Yankee guns would see tu it. Parson Webster, the I'ost Master Kx-ollicio, spoke next. He went over the obi story about 11??* Yankees free ing the negroes who were kept iu ignorance hy "Southern gentlemen.'1 He rehashed the hackneyed tale that the Democrats would put the negroes back into slavery As usual heal, tacked Dr. Cookc, who is trying to run Clntlin University :i?an educa tional institution and not us a politi cal nest. We judge from this that he is mud because the Democrats are giving yearly to this institution a large amount of money forth* educu Hoi of the colored people, although not a cent has been given yet fur the higher education of the whites. He seems to gel infuriate I every time the Democrats give money to educate the colored people. The pulpit dues nut seem to In- large enough for him tu let off his bile, so he mounts the poli lieal rostrum where he can air him self more effect unity. D. A. St raker, w ho has come back sleek and fat from Chicago was the next spokesman. lie h.a.-a musical and sanctimonious twang which givc> him a ministerial air. During his speech the platIblIII broke and the rain came dow n which caused a considerable scattering. He seemed determined however tu speak, and he stm k it through, managing to get in a choice little piece of rhetoric to the client, that there would be a fnir election or the .-cents of IStil would be re enacted. The rain came down so heavy that (he breaking up of the meeting was hy no means graceful or Haltering. The winde all'air was tilllio and un satisfactory to the projectors as their long fates clearly demonstrated. The linn nut was farless than usual on such occasions, and there was manifest disappointment in the crowd at the non-appearance of t he advertised speakers from abroad. J?lilor ?rintyvburij Time*: The services at the Baptist Church of Jamison, were brought to a close on Sunday last. The Rev. 1>. W. Cut tino preached from the 21st Chapt. 14th Verse of Job. This gentleman ?s usual riveted the attention of the large congregation. The preaching of this, 1 believe,good man. has had a happy effect on the hearts of his hearers, uttering \ ords so simple, i that a (diild can comprehend their meaning, with a manner earnest ami solemn, and 1 cart deeply touched with emotion, and as he goes on by illustrations so striking, reasoning so convincing, and appeals so tender, the audience can scar sc refrain from tears. This gentleman assisted by other ministers, with God's blessing touched the hearts and induced twelve sinners to take up the cross; and on Sunday morning they were baptised by the Rev.-Bnggot, in that beautiful pool I mentioned in my last. A very prominent feature connected with this meeting, is. that out of the twelve baptised, lour were of the family of Mr. Jeremiah Riley Sr.. this number making twenty one baptised in his family. There were four besides those mentioned, re ceived by letter, making a total of i sixteen additions to the church. Within one week the noble efforts of the Methodists, who have been bravely engaged in creeling the new Church, will see their courageous and sublime aspiration in this noble enterprise, crowned with success that any one might envy. Such home bound efforts and examples, arc swelling springs, whence flow multiplying and fertilizing streams, whose healthful influence are fell among t.'hristiaus. They are seeds planted here to blossom in higher, holier life. The building of thi> church has only been accomplished liy pluck, energy and heroic sacri fiees, worthy of the admiration of all t rue ('bristiaus, and the new Prospect Church, will live as a lit Mug memento of tin good Christians, who have by sublime exertions raised old Pros pect from the ashes of her desolation, and placed her once again, neat ami beatiful, beside her sister churches, and ready to be dedicated to the use, of the most high Cod. The pastor Rev. J. L. Shuford and the good people of this enterprise propose conducting several days service-, commencing on Friday before the 1st Sunday in September, with !'a>t ing and prayer, on Saturday, scrvici s by the presiding Klder, and on the Sunday following at I 1 o'clock. Pro lessor Duncan, id Wolford College, will preach the dedication sermon. Several ministers are invited to at tend, and may blessings, like a bene diction, rich and full rest upon all. (1 KOOISOS.
