Ouii Nominating Convention which iineels next Wednesday should re meniber that offices are not. intended as rewards for individuals, or as prizes' to be contended for by ambi tious or impecunious citizens. Of fices of trust, should be dispensed solely lor the public good, independ ent of nil other considerations. Capt. F. V/. Dawson and Gen. J. D. Kennedy iiaVe been selected as >tnembtirs' of. the National Finance Committee of the Democratic party for South Carolina. The names of these gentlemen are a sufficient guar antee that every effort will bo mude to secure the complete success of the Democratic p?tty.at the next elec tion, both state und nutiocal. ' " 1 ' And now comes another fasting man named Hymon, at Dallas, Texas. He has , been going now for sixteen tiays, without food. Well, our sphyg mograpb, dynompmeter, holograph, bolacAust, sanhedrim, hungrygraph, and gyroscope are all loaued out to another fellow who is eating ngcinst lime, and Hymon may goto Halifax, or wait till our man gets through. Did any army ever go into battle without a flag? Let the men of Or-' angeburg County decide first what flag they propose to fight umlcr and then follow it aggressively till the convention settles the battle. After that let every Democrat fall in to the charge bayonets on the euemy's line, with tho black flag flying. We must let the Radicals know that we neither ask nor grant quarters in this fight. A correspondent of the National liepublican has got it "real bad." Be cause some of the department clerks are supporting.Hancock, this blalbcr skito wants to know if tho govern ment is going to continue to employ men. who are trying "to undermine the nation, bankrupt-its treasury, pension its enemies, and play the old fellow generally. Verily, these Demo cratic employees arc wonderful fel lows. ?" '. ? ? ?? -?'' * ??H1U1UIU Iff Mi ? ? ? Truly the love that our neighbors North of Mason and Dixon's line feel for their colored brethren is rapidly on the increase. John H, Harris, a colored Democratic " speaker from Virginia, ultempted to make a speech at Newcastle, Delaware, on the 31st ult., but was stoned by a Republican mob and forced to seek the protec tion of the Sheriff. Won't some of our Republican filends explain this matter? Tue Iladiculs. have called a conven tion to meet in Culumbia on tho se cond ?f September. The 'supposition is that tbey will nominate an entire Stale ticket, and exert their most strenuous efforts to secure its election. This is about the best thing that could happen for the Democrats. It will have the effect of restoring union in the party, where it may now be ?wanting ; and will arousn the Democ racy to such a sense of the importance of victory that independentism wilt be Bwept away like chaff before the wind. Tho Republicans will mnkc one more effort to regain power in this State, and then they will "yield up the ghost." Tins ht v hat a prominent member of the Republican National Commit tee at a meeting in New York on the jGlh, hod to say of the Southern peti tioners: "They are simply trying to make all they c m out of the fact that they ore Republicans in the South and lo enrich themselves with money beg ged to help in the elections. These fellows look upon the campaign as a harvest time, just as the delegates from the South did on tiic Chicago Convention." Now this is pretty heavy on Strnkcr, Webster &. Co., who were delegates to the aforesaid convention. We suppose, however, that the cominitteeman knew what lie was talking about. "T/r* Court House Ring." ii iiiL>c t-x'stt a "Ring" at Of?nge b?V? Coli it lldtiso, wo assure par.read- j era and the piddle, ihnt we have been | unnhle to discover the fact, or to find I out the members composing said ,4Kiii?." lint, ns usual, on the np-j proucli of n campaign or election, the j cry bi<s hi en raised, "Beware of the Rings." Wiethcr their is nny foun dation for this "hue and cry," which has been raised, and the great anxiety manifested by some, wo do not un dertake to asset I positively, bGt, after careful observation, we are inclined to believe that there is none, and that the so called "Ring" oxists io the imagination only of a few "sore bonds" and defeated political aspi rants, who would prejudice tho mind of the masses in order to advance their own interest or gratify some unworllvy spirit of revenge. We are opposed to * Rings" and political combinations of this kind, in totoy and if convinced that such exist among us will go as far, fight as hard, and sacrifice as much as any one, to effect'their over throw,'and dcfeattli'c diabolical ends for which they are instituted. The grond object of DemOoracy is to per petuate good 'government, better the condition of all classes of the people and prcscive pure artd inviolnhlo our civil and political institutions.- This can not be accomplished by political rings and cliques. Men of intelli gence, who have studied life impor tant quest ions of the day, and who are" necessarily constituted leaders of the parly to which they belong, have a right, in a largo measure, to suggest the policy and plans to be adopted and periled ly their party. They should be judged by the sincerity and faithfulness with which they discharge the high responsibilities and sacred trust committed to their keeping. When they traj'sceml proper bounds, or form themselves into combinations, lings and cliques for self aggrandize ment, and thus conspiio against the interest of the masses, they are no lon ger worthy to be the custodians of n peoples' lights nnd should bo hurled from places'uf trust, and subjected to the disgrace and c?iiilutncly which iLcy ricblv dt servo, for there is noth ing which so degiades a man and cov ers him with shame, as to he fouial false and perfidious. Let us be sine that we do no one an injustice. But by no means will we have any rings. Preparing for Defeat. The Republican forces have be come so demoralized from straggling and desertions, Hint Gen. Gaifield was ordered to ride along tho front to rally and encourage the broken batal ions. The leaders have held a council of war ; hut the chief was not invited to participate. If ever a council of war gave token of defeat, theirs sure ly did. Each leader regarded his own purt of the line :hc weakest ; and each clamoicd for reinforccuieuts. The crushing defeat in Alabama has well-nigh produced a panic. While the orders arc issued for an advance, the stores are being moved to places of safety ; and the trains put in order for a sudden and hasty retreat. Jew oil .proclaims that the party coffers arc full; but his hired Hessians will only add disorder to the final rout. The Convention. As announced, the Convention for nominating county officers meets next Wednesday. Tue- buccoss of Democ racy in Orangeburg County depends largely upon that day's work. Har mony and concert of action will in sure the success of the party ; dissen sions and discord may cause defeat. In view of this, we say to every one remember what we have at slake. Let every one resolve to yield indi vidual preferences where the good of the party can bo subserved. The de feat of any individual candidate is a small matter compared with what mus.t result from tho defeat of our party.' Again, we say to the dele gates (composing the Convention. Let harmony and concert of action characterize your cveiy act. JosEl'jj Skssions, Ksq., has become tlic solo proprietor and editor of that old and Well-established journal, the Georgetown Tivos and Count, by buy i tig out the interest of Mr. Jost all Doar in it. Mr. Sessions is a young man of untiring energy and marked ability, and under his management j we expect to see the Times and Comet prosper as it never has before. \Vc heartily welcome him hack to ti c ranks of the piofcssion. General Hancock. The Gcranton, Pa..

Tilts paper lias favored no candidates hul Hancock, nnd since ho has been nominated we propose to show a little independence by speak ing a word for him through its i columns ; whether it has effect or not we will do our duty just the same.

Winlield Scott Han cock, a man who has a bigger, nobler and truer heart than all the wiry pol-; iticians in the land.". South Carolina will lose no mem- j bcr in 'Congress by the present census and ma/' possih'y gain one. There : is a groat howl among the Northern I Radicals about the increase of popu lation in the South, and swear that terrible lrauds have becu committed by the census enumerators in this section. We all know that the census in Orungcburg County was honestly and fairly taken, and the .same can be said of tho whole st are. For Representative.

A gentleman of a high sense of honor, he never fails to make friends of those with whom he comes in contact. Although quite a young man he is extensively known throughout our county for his business integrity.

We pledge our candidate to abide the ac tion of the convention, and if not the choice of that body will work lor the success of our cause with unswerving zeal until victory is proclaimed.
