Florence will have a grand military reunion on September 15th. The Barnwell Sentinel wants a street railway for that progressive town. Fire Dew stores are lo coarse of erec? tion at Blacks Station, York County. The Greenbackers have organized a dab of oise members at Granite ville. In Barnwell County the deer hunt eta report more than the usual number of deer io the Edisto swamps. Greenwood boasts of haring shipped 100,000 bushels of oats over the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad. Lather Benson has concluded that fifteen yearn io hell is enough, so he has "refaced the Democratic Domination for Congress from Indiana. ^North Carolina crop reports are gen? erally favorable; the yield of wheat and oats is exceptional. There is a farm in Dakota that com? prises 75,000 acres. Nine hundred employes are lodged and fed. Tho crops in England and France haye" been entirely ruined by the un? favorable weather. The Chester ladies hare organised with the parp?se of collecting money to aid in replacing the Confederate monn? aient at Columbia A threatened dael between Co ward io, of the Richmond, Va , Dispatch, and Elsm, of the Whig, has been prevented by the authorities. The residence of Major Julias Mills at Smith's Turnout, io Chester County, was destroyed by fire on the 24th of -w~ August. Loss $2,500. Insurance ,$800. ? Mr. jones, of Batesburg, has been experimenting witb'tbe sift-worm on a small scale this sommer, and the result Das been highly satisfactory. Btr. W. Vt. Brown, Prioeipal of the Wiffiamston Academy, has been elected Principal of the Preparatory Depart? ment of Forman University at Green? ville. Mr. J. C. Thompson has organised a Greenback Club at Pleasant Grove, Marion County, with twenty-fire color? ed and one white member. The offi? cers are all colored. Col. John C. Haskell is reported as saying that Geo. Hampton will not give np his seat in the Senate to accept the Presidency of the South Carolina Col? lege. Georgia's next Governor, Mr. Ste? phens, and General Toomba seem to be on bad terms. Toomba says that Ste? phens is not the proper man, and Ste? phens think Toomba too profane for anything. The Democratic State Convention of Kansas adopted a report favoring the resubmission to the people of the pro? hibition amendment to the constitution ; Geo. W. Click was nominated for Gov? ernor. For the year ending September 1st, ' Newberry shipped 16,725 bales of cot *ton, against 20,621 bales last year. The falling off was due to the small crop. General R. E. Colston, who served in the Egyptian army for six years, told a Washington reporter the other day that the British are going to have a hard row to hoe io Egypt. He thinks that after a month's campaigning the English horses will be unfit for ase, as they cannot stand life on the deserts. J The yellow fever is terrible at Mata moras and Brownsville. Two hundred and nineteen deaths in August at the former place; population less than 8,000. There are two hundred cases. At Brownsville four hundred and twen? ty-five cases have been reported-sixty within twenty-four hours, A United States Circuit Judge in Boston bas decided that punched or "perforated coins are legal tenders. He holds that the law is not violated by the punching of a hole in a coin, provided the value or quantity of metal if not reduced-that the mere changing of the face of a coin does not destroy its "legality ss a tender. The examination of applicants for ad? mission to West Point Military Academy coDcloded OD September 2nd. Oat of forty-one applicants only fifteen have j been rejected. Among those rejected j is the colored applicant, Lemuel W. Livingston, appointed from Florida When asked what portion of his exami? nation Livingston was deficient in, Adjt. Hoyle stated that uuder the rules an answer to that question could not be made public. He said that Livingston was simply found deficient and not duly qualified for admission, and that he was directed to settle his accounts with the treasurer and depart. Livingston ap? peared at the adjutant's office at 1 o'clock that afternoon, drew the money he had deposited, paid his board and left on an afternoon train for New York. One of the applicants rejected was an appointee of the adjutant-general of the army. THE COUNTY CONVENTION. The Convention was called to order at 12:10 o'clock by Capt. W. R. Del gar, County Chairman, and the Secre? tary proceeded to call the roll of mem? bers, i The conspicuous absence of a number of the members from the Sumter Club was noticed, which waa explained by gobseojijnt developments. Before further business, Col. J. J. Dargan offered a series of resolutions with reference to the action of the last Convention, in unseating a portion of the delegation of this Club. lu sup? port of the resolutions he made a clear and forcible speech, which was at? tentively listened to by the Convention. Unfortunately, however, he was fre? quently interrupted by an individual who was under the influence of whiskey, and was afterwards proven not to be a member of the Convention. The bent of Col. Dargan's argument was that the rule applied to the Sumter Club by the last Convention was unfair, inasmuch as it was not applied to all-that a num? ber of Clubs were represented with unrevised rolls, while the Sumter Club was the only one whose delegation was cat down. He explained the reason of the delay in the revision of the roll, and ended with an assurance that the Sumter Club would be with the Democracy on the 7th of November next, and urged that they be treated with ordinary fair? ness. Dr. Pringle and Mr. R. E. Carnes followed Mr. Dargan, making a few explanatory remarks, the latter second? ing the resolution of Mr. Dargan, and thereupon considerable confusion en? sued, one motion to lay on the table fol? lowing another. Dr. Rembert ab length gained the floor. He said he regretted to hear that there was anything like dissension ia the Democratic party ; that be had drafted aaet of resolutions which he boped would be like oil on troubled waters. He then proceeded to offer his resolutions. Considerable commotion followed, and it was at last agreed that the reso? lutions be submitted to a committee of five, to report within a half hour. At this juncture the Convention elected officers, as follows : Dr. E. J. Rembert, President, Isaac W. Bradley, Vice President, W. D. Blandtng, Sec'y and Treas. . The Committee above referred to, re? ported, and their report proved to be Mr. Dargan's preamble, amended by the substitution of Dr. Rembert's reso? lutions, as follows, which were adopted without a dissenting voice: Whereast the last Convention of the Democratic party of Sumter County ex? pelled from the said Convention three delegates from the Sumter Township Democratic Club, opon the ground that the roll of membership of the said Club bad not been revised, and whereas' a large number of the Clubs represented in that Cou ven tion had not, at that time, had their rolls revised, and whereas the said Convention undertook the revision of the roi! of no Club in the County, except the Sumter Club, and whereas the said Convention refused to allow tbs cause of the Sumter Club to be discussed on the floor of the said Convention, and whereas the Convention refused to allow the Sumter Club a representative on the Committee on Credentials, and whereas the Committee on Credentials, who took under investigation, by order ? of the said Convention, the roll of tho Sumter Club, refused to hear any argu? ment on behalf of said Club, and where? as the said Committee on Credentials, through error, disregarded the evidence submitted before it going show that the Sumter Club had made every reasonable effort to revise its roll, and had revised it in a measure, and to as great an ex? tent as practicable up to that time, Therefore be it Jtysvlved, That this Convention re? grets, that the rule applied to the Sum ter Club, and under the operation of which three members of their delegation were not admitted, was not applied to all the other Clubs present-as would have been fair and equal to all. This Convention cannot recognize the right of any Convention to apply rules to one club, which ore not also applied all other Clubs. A committee was then appointed, consisting of Messrs. Dargan, Sanders and Pringle, to conduct the President elect to the Chair, who in a short, but well worded speech, thanked tba Con? vention for the honor conferred. The Vice President was requested to take bis seat upon the platform, and the Convention seemed ready for busi? ness. Upon the motion of a member the Convention was led in prayer by Rev. C. C. Brown. At this point the Sumter delegation took their seats which had hitherto been occupied by a commmittee. Mr. Carnes, of Bishopville offered a resolution that the Convention give a hearty support to all its nominees. Carried unanimously. Dr. Pringle nominated for the Sen? ate, Col. Jos. H. Earle. Mr. Lacoste offered that he be nomi? nated by acclamation. Mr. H. Schwerin nominated Dr. J. J. Bossard. Col. Dargan said be was authorised to say that Dr. Bossard was not a nom? inee before the Convention. Col. Earle was nominated by accla? mation, with no dissenting voice. The Convention then resolved to elected nominees for Representatives by ballot. Mr. A. Moses moved that it require a majority of the total number of votes cast to elect-which was carried. Nominations being in order, the fol? lowing gentlemen were named : R. D. Lee, F. J. Mayes, D. E. Keels, E. M. Cooper, W. A. James, Dr. H. D. Green, J. W. Westberry, H. E. L. Peebles, Richard Gayle, Dr. E. J. Rembert, Dr. W. J. Pringle. Drs. Pringle and Rembert declined. C. E. Bartlett, R. E. Carnes and E. F. Burrows were appointed tellers, and the Chair desired the voting to take place by clubs. ^ The result of the first?ballet was thc election of three Representatives. The vote was as follows, R. D. Lee 169, F. J. Mayes 134, H. E. L. Peebles 108, D. E. Keels 92, E. M. Cooper 82, W. A. James 21, H. D. Green 73, J. W. Westberry 71, R. Gayle 30. The next ballot being for Sheriff, re? sulted as follows : Marion Sanders 105, R. W. Durant 88, scattering 3. \ The next ballot was for CouBty Com X missioners, as follows : R. W. Jenkini m, W. A. Cooper 102, R. E. Mul drow 77, J. M. Ross 28, J. T. Edwards 42, J. O. Durant 39, F. Joye 46, T. S. Drayton 18, F. M. Mellett 74,. W. W. Ramsay 26. W. H. Phil? lips 18, H. W. Baker 8.-Cooper and Jenkins elected, and no choice for the third candidate. The nomination for Judge of Probate was made by acclamation, and Col. T. V. Walsh was declared elected. The following ballot for School Com? missioner, was next taken : J. Diggs Wilder 99, W. W. Anderson 36, W. E. Jennings 40. A second ballot for Representative resulted in no election and upon a third being taken, D. E. Keels was elected, J. W. Westbury having withdrawn bis name. R. E. Muldrow was nominated for County Commissioner upon the second ballot. Richard Gayle made a short address expressing his intention to support the Democracy at all hazards. Thereupon the Convention adj camed. Another Outrage. Capt. Brad ba ra, who has served as Postmaster at Manning most acceptably to the people, for a number of years has been removed, and a negro appointed io his stead. The only objections which could have been urged against Capt. Bradham by the Administration were possibly bis fair complexion and leaning toward Democratic principles. The people can see in this, another evidence of the preference on the part of Republi? cans for partizanship compared to ability in the appointment of officers to serve the people. Gov. Hagood's Next Place. Among thn Directors of our lately consolidated railroads may be found the name of Gov. Johnson Hagood. And he was, unknown to himself, elected to this place with the understanding that be eh ou ld be subsequently invited to be? come President. Since the meeting at Belton he has been approached on this subject, and has intimated his willing? ness to aceept the post-of course not until the expiration of his gubernatorial term. And this fact we consider as worth more than one hundred thousand dollars to the road. Since 1876 Gov. Hagood has done more than any man in South Carolina to straighten and bet? ter the finances of the State. He is a boru financier-rand a pr?ctical business mau of immense profundity. He is the mau for the Presidency of the consolida? ted roads. We rejoice beyond measure to announce the probility of his becom? ing so.-Edgefield Advertiser. -^mm^-*+- mm -. Drawing the Color Line. It seems that the colored people in the city are disposed to draw the color line to a very fine point, and there are indications of quite a bitter feeling be? tween the lighter portion of the race and the darker ones, the latter accusing the former of being exclusive and un? dertaking to hold themselves aloof from their brethren in black. The Rev. Jas. T. Baker. Pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered a lecture on this subject on Wednes? day night which is enthusiastically de? scribed by a colored auditor as 'the grandest lecture ever given to the mu? lattoes of Greenville.' The lecturer chose for his subject 'colors,' and freely denounced those who 'thought them? selves better than anbody else because they bad a little white blood in their veins.' He said no color could exceed the white and the black races, because both were pare. God, he said, was no respecter of persons or colors, and he could not understand why the poor col? ored people of this city, should be so stupid as to make such distinctions. Greenville News. Dr. Agnew, of Philadelphia, de? clined to make a bill against the Gar? field estate when solicited by Dr. Bliss. When solicited be wrote that "he felt deeply the indignity with which they had been treated, and was disposed to submit, promising that hereafter when surgeons were called on to attend Pres? idents, princes or potentates they would place their services upon a purely busi? ness basis. As this was not their course in the treatment of the case of the late President he would decline to make a bill against the estate.' A rumor is afloat io the air that an? other bark to take the place of the lost Azor, which apparently foundered with all of the funds of the Liberian Joint stock Steamsh ip Company on board will shortly be introduced to the public. The rumor also says that the forthcom? ing bark will bo of larger dimensions, a faster sailer and in every way more complete, and that those who were dis? appointed in emigrating to Liberia be? cause of the misfortune to the Azor, will have an opportunity of carrying out their former philanthropic wish.-New Era. Items. Arabi has formed a camp at Salihieh, threatening the British flank. . It is reported that 30,000 horsemen are proceeding from Tripoli to the aid of Arabi. Diptheria prevails to a considerable extent in L?nen burg County, Va. In some instances two or three deaths have occurred in a 'single family. There are 300 deaths daily from cho? lera in Manilla and 4,660 persons have died in Hollo. The disease has made its appearance in Tangier, Africa. Mr. Jennings, the N. Y. Wort?s London correspondent, reports that the condition of affairs in Ireland is folly as bad as ever, and that be has been in? formed by an American traveller that an insurrectionary movement on a large scale is preparing. The French, Mr. Jennings says, are very much irritated against England, who they believe intends to keep her hold on Egypt. Russia also is waiting to call England, to acccount, and the subjects oi all the powers who have suf? fered by the bombardment of Alexao andria are likely to make olaims for damages which will be supported by their governments. Daniel N. Sherwood, who has been Route Agent on the North Carolina Railroad from Greensboro to Goldsboro since Ootober, 1865, committed suicide on September 2d, by taking laudanum. Before be died be confessed that he had been robbing the company for ten years. Sherwood was sixty years old and leaves a widow and family. A woman waa bitten by a dog io Paris. Sbe went at once and bad the wound cauterized at the Hotel-Dien. She continued perfectly well until one day she was passing the hospital, she was recognized by one of the students who called out to her*, 'Holloa you are not dead yet then ! The dog which bit you was downright mad, as they found out afterward.' The woman was seized immediately with a violent spasm, and in a few boars died with symptoms of hydrophobia.
