The friend and brtfMier has a keen eye for business. ?The election of Gen. Juo. Brat* ton to the Chairmanship of the State Executive Committee is a d< served compliment, as a recognition of his ability and bis unselfish patriotism. His record in ?be pust is assurance that in the future ibe party will Buffer no detriment at his hands. ?The Legislature of Massachu setts, has pi ced $250 with Gov, Long, of that Stale, for the purpose of ident ifying Massachusetts with ibe memorial column proposed to be erected by South Carolina on the bat tle-field of the Cow pen 8. The battle was fought January 17, 1781. ?The AtrstralianB do net take kindly to the poiygamic idea. One of the Salt Lake priests who has just returned from a proselyting visit to the big ?is'land,-says thai four attempts were made there to murder him, ami the Salt Lake Tribune, is abusing the Australians for Utcirpoor matktnan t.hip. .: . - ?Gen. Gordon has - accepted the1 position of associate and consulting counsel of tho new railroad combina-l tion, of which Mr. Newcomb is the bead, which includes a continuous line, under ono management, from St. Louis to Savnanah. The salary will probably not be less than fifteen thousand dollars per annum. ?Abovt four hundred and fifty of the seven hundred -nd thirty-eight delegates to the Deraoeraie Conven tion have been selected, and Northern papers say that betv ? nn two hundred and fifty and three hundred are for Tilden. Wo do not see where they came from, unless Sammy is on another still hunt and has captured ?11 the uninslructed delegates. This is baldly probable. His una vailability is a great pity, as he is an unrivaled manipulator and manager. He may have something to say about the nomination, but he will never get it himself. ?A Massachusetts Republican of intelligence and integrity said a day or two 8inco to u Virginia Democrat,, "Tho Democrats have not sense enough to nominate Bayard. Were *,hey lo do so he would draw largely from the Republicans. I represent a class, and a large class, of Repuhli-, cans who would vote for him. Cer tainly all true and horvest Democrats: who look to a fair, impartial, land ! economical administration of the Government, would vote for him [too." This looks like a return to ien son, common sense nnd common hon esty. So let us have Bayard. ?The Darlington News says : The Knights of Honor have awarded the contract for e soling their hail to Mr. j M. G. Dunne, of Sautter, for 84,000 [The building is to be placed at the corner of the Square ?id Exchange street. It will be built of wood, lOOx ?35 feet, with tin roof, imitation iron front, and two stories high. The up per hall will have a capacity to seat five hundred people, and to have a stage erected lor the use of theatrical companies. The lower story will be fitted up for a slorc. This building will be quite an ornament to the town and the hall will supply a long felt want. Garfleld's Candidacy. As a candidate for the Presidency it is not likely lhat Mr. Gai field will receive the entire support of the Re publican party. Tho contest, which resulted in his nomination, was too long, active and bitter to warrant such a conclusion. ' The circum stances attending his advancement and Hie relations of tlic faction lead ers themselves were of such a nature as to preclude such a probability. Blainc's opposition to Grant is not less lhan that of Conkiing to Gartiold. Party bonds do not generally control the active passions of the human heart, and the hatred these gentlemen bear each other will not ittdurc the stings of the party lash. Tu,j memo ry of the old rebuke which Gor?eld administered to Conkiing in Wash ington once and the more recent one at the Chicago Convention on the res olution ruling out the three West Virginia delegates, will not make lhat gentleman and his friends active worker s in the next campaign. Il is not reasonable to suppose that either Grant or Conkiing will occupy more thnn a passive position in this elec tion. If they conclude to take no part, their indifference will so cripple tho operations of the party in New York .and Illinois as to rendet the conquest of those States by the Demo cracy quite an easy task. We once thought that Grant would be the easi est of' Hie Republican candidates to defeat, but the complications, in which the Chicago Convention has involved the party, make Mr. Gar field's defeat a foregone conclusion. If the Democrats, at Cincinnati, will, with anything like unanimity, nomi nate any one of tlieir lending candi dates, Bayatd, Fields or Hancock, the way is clear not only for a glori ous victory but for an overwhelming defeat of the Republican party. Noth ing can rob us of this but a course of suicidal folly at our approaching National Convention. Duelling. The citizens of Caraden and Ker shaw County, in view of the frequent occurrence of duels in their section, have organized a society, called **The Camdcn and Kershaw Anti-Duelling Association," to prevent tl? crime of duelling., if possible, by enforcing tho law In such cases provided. The movement is made under the auspices of -Judge J. B. Kershaw and others of tho most influential citizens of the county, and Iiob every prospect of ac complishing its purpose. The only way to stop this crime is 'Ho educate pub lic opinion and train the moral Bense of the people to a true perception of the criminality of this wicketl and pernicious practice." The mere fact of duelling being a popular mode of adjusting personal diilltmrtfeff-ddes hot make it less a crime against the peace of society, or the rcv-enge it seeks to give, less savage and cowardly, or i he killing when done less a murder. Against the first, public opinion should be arrnyed, ngah??t the second the voices of . brave men should be raised, and ngainst the last, tho law against-murder should <be enforced. The Result of the Convention. The heated discussion on early nomination before the State Demo cratic Convention seems to have had no ill effects upon the prospect of the approaching campaign. It was found that early nominations wero desired not only by a majority of the people themselves but of the members of the Convention ; and tho minority true to their loya'ty, when the decision bad been made, pledged a generous, al most unanimous, support to tbe tick et. It was determined that the unity of the party should not be sacrificed to personal ambition or favoritism, and this assures such a vigorous cam paign as will be a guarantee of final success both State and local county elections. Tbe most stubborn oppo sition to live measure was given by Edgefleld delegation, but, when the fight was ended, tho magnanimous avowal of Speaker Sbeppard that be would stand or fall by tbe decision of the Convention, gives ample assur ance that tire ticket will receive tbe entire vote of the county. There is no reason to suppose that Gen. Gary and his persons! friends will hot stand by the action of tbe Convention or withhold their support from the ticket nominated. Such a course would be in direct opposition to Gen. Gary's life-long faith In tbe rule of the ma jority as well as is in conflict with the noble sentiments uttered before tbe Edgefleld Convention which binds him to the action of that majorty. His known patriotism, past services to the State and his deep interest in tho welfare of her citizeus constitute a sure standard by which we may judge his conduct in this crisis of our affairs. Hie other delegations, com posing the minority, at once gave their cordial absent and returned home with a fixed purpose to enter the campaign at the proper time and to work for the success of the ticket as if tbeir own opinions had prevail ed. Such is the excellent spirit and unanimity of sentiment prevailing throughout the entire borders of our State nt the present time, that every oitiecn may feel satisfied through the season of rest from political excite ment, which will intervene between the nominations and the opening of the campaign, ot a oneness of purpose on the part of every section of the State. The farmer may follow his crops and tho laborer has work with out any dread of interference until tbe harvest is over, and tlreu with united efforts, under the leadership of the gallaut Hagood, we will enter the con flict and never cease until Democracy is enthroned not only in South Caro lina but in every State of the Union. For Vice-President. Upon tho heels of the excitement caused by the triumphant nomination of Hon. James A. Garfield as candi date for the Presidency the Republi. can Convention entered upon a bal lot for* the nominee for Vice-P esi dent, which resulted in the selection of Gen. Chester A. Arthur of New York. How this nomination will affect the ticket, is too early to judge. Gen. Arthur is said to be the person al friend of Mr. Conkling, whose wrath perhap9 his nomination is in tended to appease with a view of securing the electoral vote of New York for this ticket. Arthur belongs to the machine faction, and will give but little additional strength to the ticket, if any at nil. Indeed it is a feeble attempt to unite tbe Grant C <nkling faction and thus enlist tho influence of their friends in behalf of the tickets. Upon the whole, Gar field, with his Credit Mobelier connec tion and other swindles in which he took a hand, and Arthur with his Custom House record and limited public notoriety will make a nice tai get for the Democratic arrows to be shot at. Eating Crow. It appears that Gov. Simpson and ExGov. Bonit?t?, had a royal time at Beaufort recently. They were wined I and dined by tbe officers of tbe fleet, and Friday night they were compli mented with a serenade, in response to which both gentlemen made short speehes. The Sea Island News says that the Ex-Governor "struck a re sponsive" chord in the breasts of many of bis bearers, when, in allud ing to the entertainment given by the officers of the fleet, he said that Mwhile under the stars and stripes he considered himself as among the number of those who .he thought should have been hung for trying to break up this glorious union." We have been fully reconstructed for lo these many years, but we have not reached that point yet when we can bring ouiselvcs to believe that we ought to be hung for trying to "break up this glorious union.'* Too much c:owfor us. SmscnraE for tho Oranoeb?rg Democrat. Tho Wp?Dll?i?nfN Mf?fldh. The balloting /In* the Republican Convention at Chicago began on Monday last in the presence or A large audience, the first vole reveal ing the full strength of the contend" ing candidates: Grant, 304; Maine, 284,.and Sherunan'B&Hvrne8e figures were maintained throughout the day I with but slight fluctuations; Grunt' reaching 309, Blaitie $85 and Sher man 98. Whilst the. twenty-eight ballots showed no elgn of weakness on the part of the contestants, there was certainly no additional strength developed by which a judgment could be formed as to the final result. K anything, the indications pointed to a new man as the successful one. Who he should he, did noT appear from any of the proceedings on Monday ; but the following night combinations wore made which gave quite a differ ent phase to the balloting of Tuesday, and proved to the Grant faction, be fore it had progressed far> that the day was lost. Mr.-Garfield, of Ghio, who the day before h? received only two votes, begun to grow rapidly in favor with the members until tlie re Bult of the thirlynslxib ballot gave him the requisite number to be de clared the nominee of the National Republican Party for the Presidency. The following is the relative positions the candidates occupied when the bal loting closed : Garfield, 399 ; Grant, 306 ; Blainc, 42 ; Sherman, 3 ; Wasb burne, 5. This ends, we hope, the career of Gen. Grant. He is politically dead. All the glory of the past, both as a military leader and as the chief mag istrate of a great republic, is destroy ed by an inordinate and over-teach ing ambition. Had- he never con-j eetved the idea of a third-term, histo ry would have written his name high up in the list of America's great men ; but his conduct during the last few months together with the balloting of the Chicago Convention, prove how false the record would have been. Had he never dreamed of occupying a position near lo Washington in the hearts of Ihe people, his ~ present shame would never have overtaken him, or his utter insignificance ap peared in the comparison. Had he never assayed to do what was be yond his ability to perform, his true position in American history might never have been reached, or posterity learned what a child of circumstances merely, the so called hero of the great civil wer>fan, been. In the same political ' graverwith Grant lie buried Blaine, Cockling, Edmunds, Sherman und Logan. Peace be to their ashes and rest lo the county. Woman's Suffrage. Among the thousand and one wild political scheme* tried at Chicago du ring the session of the Convention not oue is more astounding than the efforts of the representatives of Wo man's Suffrage to ingraft their pecu liar views upon the platform of the Republican party. What may be the final result of the persistent efforts made by these advanced women is bard to say ; but one thing we do know that the political party which espouses lhat cause, will as certainly die ns the attempt is made, and the political Convention with four hun dred women iu it would as certainly end in a (untie asylum in three days as tiic attempt is made to hold a ses sion.
