THE COUNT! DEMOCRATIC (OX>EN
TIOX.
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.

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.
