Democratic Organizations.

A large mass meeting of citizens as
scmbled at Walterboro, on the Sd March
for the purpose # forming Democratic
Organization. The proceedings were in.
tereseing, and expressive Of the senti-
mcnts of all true men in the State, and
honorable, to district always true and
straightforward. The Mercury calls 1t a
"good thing" and is "pleased to see at
last a beginning, and also that it has
been entered into by citizens of every
past phase of opinion upon public mat
ters." Walterboro is not the only dis
trict in which meetings have been held,
and formed, we are pleased to know. A
thorough organization of the Democratic
party in this State is of the most vital
importance. Can we of Newberry not
have meeting and advise on this mat

: Drifting into Republication.

The New York Commercial (Republi-
can) is uneasy at the revolutionary com.
plexion of affairs, and says: =. = ...
.We are drifting into reputation !!
We are so drifting, not because our debt
is too onerous, or that our people are
dishonest, but because Congress is either
insensible to the danger or Indifferent to
itscconscquences. IfMr.; Morrill,, Of fMaine,
thinks that spread eagle speech about
faith,1 honor and integrity, will bridge
over the danger, he is fatally mistaken.
Two: things at least, must be done. Ex-
penses must be diminished and the rate
of interest must be. reduced. Both are
practicable. Congress can effect both,
and it will be held responsible for its
refusal or neglect to save as from a great
danger and greater shame"

Interesting from WASHINGTON.

The action OF the Senate, on the 18th,
in remaining over two hours in consul
tation, and then coming into open court
with procession and order, after secret
debate and vote, is deprecated by the
managers, and the Presidents counsel,
argued that the real trial was taking
place in secret, and that officers, man.
ayers and counsel were mere show work.
The Presidents counsel, yesterday,
seemed perfectly disarmed, after the re.
turn of the Senate, and submitted to the
result of its secret compromises without
much rcmonstrance. -".
Grant received despatch from Gen.
Thomas, saying in effect, that the ene-
mics Of the present Government in Ten
nessce,r were organized for resistance to
the laws, and to get control of the State.
Grant replies, ordering Thomas to use
all the forces at bis command to preserve
peace and protect the State authorities
in the execution of the laws, and to re-
port, if more troops were needed. ...-..-.
Persons convcrsant with the Senate
rial feeling, say the real danger to the
President bas narrowed down to the fact
of appointing Thomas ad interim Secre'
tary Of war. Buffers charges stand no
chance, and the illegaity Of Stanton's re-
moral is doubted by many Senators.
Nj. Stanberry has resigned the office
of Attorney. General, that as counsel for
President johnson, he may devote bis
time exclusively TO the duties of so pa
ramount an obligation. Mr.. Browning,
Secretary of the Interior, has been ap
pointed as acting in his stead.

with JUNCTION, determination and persis-

are not acceptable the righteous will yet

An incident worthy Of note is that be-
fore the immortals decided as to who
should be exalted to fill the gubernatorial
chair, the candidates, R. K. Scott and 7.
j.. Robertson. srfead themselves on a
banquet. Robertson had the inside
track, as his feast came off last, aud
might have made good thing of it, but
for the reason that his "rittles" were not
good, or that the imtnortals partook too
freely of Scott's daintlcs, for we learn,
that after the entertainment of the latter,
a large body with banners and "mu.
sic by the band proceeded to the Char
lesion hotel, and yomited over the floors
and passages, besides using prefane and
obscene language, and, that worthy
Major Roorback was forced to call for the
police to expel them. As might have
been expected, Gen. Scott received the
nomination. One other thing has been
accomplished, the passage of the bill Of
Rights, which document will be found
