STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, at its meeting in Columbia last
week, agreed to recommend the form of
organization known as the Anderson
Constitution, which has been adopted in
several of the counties, and which was
originally prepared by the editors of the
Anderson LateNigencer. The committee
urge its adoption in all counties in which
local or precinct clubs are not already
organized, and the clubs now in existence
are referred to this form of constitution
for guidance on all points not embraced
in the constitution under which they are
organized. A central organization is
likewise recommended, which shall be
charged with the interests Of the Demo-
cratic party in each county, to be placed
in communication at once with the State
Executive Committee. The chairman,
Gen. James Conner, presided over the
meeting, and James F. Izlar, Esq, was
made Secretary pro tenn. The foregoing
is the substance of the proceedings which
have been made public. Organization is
the principal aim of the Executive Com
mittee at this time, in accordance with
the action of the recent Ssate Conven-
ton, and those counties notyet thorough
ly organized will doubtless give proper
attention to the recommendations above
set forth.

SPEAKER KERR INDICATED.

The Committee On Expenditures in the
War Department made report on Mon
day last in the case of Speaker Kerr, who
has been charged by a worthless charac-
ter named Harvey with accepting bribe
ten years ago to secure an appointment
in the regular army. The report COM
pletely exonerated Mr.. Kerr in every re-
spect, and the committee experienced no
difficulty in reaching the conclusion that
the charge as to the payment of money to
Mr.. Kerr was unqualifedly false, and
that gentleman fully vindicated from
every implication affecting his personal
honor or official integrity. This was the
unanimous judgment of the committee,
composed of Democrats and Republi-
cans, and it is significant fact that the
report of the committee was generously
sustained in admirable speech by Mr..
Daaforth, of Ohio, Republican member
of the committee, whose effort was supple
mented by General Garfield, of Ohio,
proposing that the vote on the report
should be taken by the members rising,
which suggestion was adopted, and all
the members present rose in the afirma-

FORT MOULTRIE CENTENNIAL.

We are gratifed to note the increasing
interest manifested in the approaching
celebration of a memorable event in the
great struggle for American independ-
ence. The one hundredth anniversary
of the Battle of Fort Sullivan will occur
on the 2Sth of this month, and it is pro-
posed to commemorate the victory won
by the valor and determination of the
troops under the command of Col. Will
liam Moultrie, in whose honor the fort
was afterwards named. The prepara-
tions in Charleston for this grand event
have been in progress for many months,
under the auspices of the Palmetto
Guard, and the indications are pleasing,y
suggestivexofa a gala occasion. In addi-
tion to the local and military commands,
which will parade about one thousand
men, the cities of Columbia, Augusta and
Savannah will contribute largely to swell
the parade of citizen soldiery, and visit
ing organizations in detachments are ex-
pected from New York and Boston. Be-
sides the military display, the civic socie-
ties and citizens generally will unite in
the patriotic observance of the day, and
the command of the entire parade has
been accepted by Gen. Wade Hampton.
The programme of the celebration has
been announced, and everything is in
readiness to make the occasion an over
'whelming success. On the morning of
the 2Sth, salute Of one hundred guns
will be fired, and st. MichaePs chimes
will be rung throughout the day. The
troops will assemble on the Citadel Green,
and after marching in procession through
the principal streets of the city, they will
embark on steamers for Sullivan's Island,
and on arrival the troops will proceed to
the parade ground at Fort Moultrie,
where large tent will be erected to
cover the multitude from the rays of the
sun. On this consecrated ground, where
the opening struggle for independence
was made in South Carolina, an Grafton
will be pronounced by Gen. J. B. Ker-
shaw, of Camden. After the address is
concluded, a collation. will be served and
the participants will return to the city,
where other festivities will take place.
Charleston will put on holiday attire,
and extend a hospitable welcome to all
visitors from every section of the country,
and we trust that the citizens of the inte-
rior will lend their presence in large
numbers to swell the interest and impor-
tance of the Fort Moultrie Centennial.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The National Republican Convention
met yesterday in Cincinnati. Conkling,
Blaine, Morton and Bristow are the lead
ing candidates for the Presidential nomi-
nation, and their chances seem to be in
the order they are named. We would
not be surprised, in the event that Conk-
ling fails to secure the nomination, that
his friends will bring forward the present
incumbent of the Office for reelection to
"third term" Stranger things have
happened in political conventions, and a
protracted struggle might induce the
delegates to believe that Gen. Grant was
the only man capable of uniting the con-
hicting elements of the Republican party.
Such result would not be wept over in
the Democratic ranks.

Ex.spEAKER BLAINE.

For the past ten days this gentleman
has occupied large share of public at
tention. The House Judiciary Commit
tee has been engaged for several weeks
investigating the affairs of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad, and unearthed num-
Der of letters from MIR. Blaine showing
conclusively that he used the Office of
Speaker to promote the purposes of a
gang of railway jobbers. These letters
were the private correspondence of Mr..
Blaine with man named Fisher, and
were produced before the committee by
one Mulligan, who was subsequently, in
duced by Blaine to surrender the letters
to him. After gaining possession of the
damaging evidence, Mr.. Blaine made a
personal explanation in the House Of
Representatives as to his connection with
the matter, and charged the. Judiciary
Committee with unfairness and PARTISAN
ship in their conduct. He made a bold
and desperate effort to relieve himself
from the odium in time to create sympa-
thy among his own party, whereby he
might gain strength as candidate for
the nomination at Cincinnati. His
friends claim that he has been successful,
and that he is most likely to be selected
as the Republican standard-bearer. I'm
der these circumstances, when his sup
porters were jubilant and enthusiastic,
Mr.. Blaine has met with another misfor-
tune, and the country is startled with the
information that he was attacked on Sun
day morning with something resembling
apoplexy, and for time there was great
alarm respecting his condition. The
latest accounts indicate that his illness is
not dangerous, and his speedy recovery is
confidently predicted, 1t is certainly
true that Ex-Speaker Blaine is the SEN
sation of the day, and his nomination by
the Republicans this week would only
tend to increase the sensation. His fail
ure to secure the endorsement of his own
party, in view Of recent revelations, will
link his fate with Schuyler Colfax and
notables Of that unhappy era in leg
islation, when railroads controlled men,
bers of Congress, and lobbyists were ex-
ceedingly liberal with stocks and bonds.

for any worthy and competent man, and
tolerate his right to hold any office that
he may be competent to fill, whether he
be white or black, we should vote for
him. This is the only way of successful
governments, and are the true principles
which underlie all good governments.
1t is certainly not un-American. Not
withstanding the strong and strict party
line which is now drawn by the Democ-
racy of the County, we hope that they
will eventually see the importance of dis
daining these strict party affiliations, and
vote for men of known and un-impeacha-
BILE character for positions of honor re-
gardless to party spirit. Then we may
by such means perfect union between
the races. We sincerely believe it tends
to the good of all concerned. 1t may be
proper to say just here, in justice to the
writer, that he is not an aspirant for any
position. So much for County matters.
Many of you are probably in the dark as
to the situation of the State. We are
sorry that we can not discuss State mat
tiers at length owing to the space and
time already taken up we can not do JUS
tice to the subject. Our State is certain
ly not in a very healthy condition. We
have some exceedingly bad men in the
Legislature who have abused the golden
rights of the people of the State, and who
should be Immediately ostracised both
politically and socially. The various
political communities should put every
effort forward to prevent those who are
corrupt from returning, and endeavor to
send decent and worthy men in their
places. It>is not our purpose to partlcu-
larize either persons or crimes, but when
the main issue comes we will try to meet
it fairly and squarely. Every one of us
can exert our political influence toward
purifying and redeeming the State. We
are surely held responsible and accounta-
BILE for the bad state of affairs in South
Carolina, because we are in the majority,
and whatever wrong or crime is commit
ted in the State politically we are to
blame for it in the majority of cases.
It is true we have many honest and
worthy men connected with the Legisla-
ture and State in general, both foreigners
and natives, whose services we should
strive to keep and welcome them to the
soil, for we believe the day is not far dis
tant when the honest and true-hearted
foreigners and the good thinking and
worthy natives will be the ultimate means
of true redemption in the State. But on
the other hand there are some foreigners
and natives whom we should look upon
as the enemies to the soil, and seek every
fair means to rid the soil of them. We
shall discuss State matters more fully in
our next to you. In writing you this
letter we do not desire you to have the
impression that the writer wishes to
assume dictatorship in the ensuing cam
paign as to how you must and ought to
vote, nothing is more foreign to his mind.

lieves to be due him and you.

lis purposes. Because, forsooth, the

his purposes. Because, torsooth, the
action of Gov. Chamberlain in some re-
spects has accorded with the interests and
feelings of the Democracy, whose chief
aim is to rid the State of venal officials
and extravagant taxation, we ARE told
that it is indispensable not to make any
opposition to his candidacy in the future.
What renders it indispensable? Does
political opposition change the purposes
and character of Mr.. Chamberlain as an
official? Surely such view will not be
argued by any one in his senses, for it is
virtual admission that Mr.. Chamberlain
is only making a pretence as a reformer,
and is not governed by the nobler in
stincts of manhood. Yet, whenever Mr..
Chamberlain consents to "antagonize"
the property and intelligence of the State
by voluntarily becoming associated upon
ticket with the Elliotts and White
mores of his corrupt Iarty, then we are
ready to denounce him as a part and
parcel of the organization which seeks to
destroy the property and degrade the in
telligence of the State. 1t depends upon
his choice and not ours, when we consider
the question of antagonism. If he
prefers to work with and promote the in
terests of an organization, which is the
symbol of oppression, misrule and corrup-
ton in South Carolina, he cannot expect
the cooperation of political opponents,
whose every thought and action is in an
tagonism to the vileness and filth with
which he is associated. Neither do we.
believe that Gov. Chamberlain expects
this cooperation, for his intelligence and
culture as an individual will not permit
him to look for such improbable and un-
natural conduct. He confessed sub
stantially last winter that Republicanism
was failure in South Carolina, and the
inference was clear that the only hope
for the future was a-thorough and COM
pact organization of the Democracy,
working to secure the ends for which he
was hopelessly striving inside the Re
publican party. His own testimony
directed the opposition to other agencies
than those through which he was work.
ing, and which he virtually declared in
effectual and fruitless of results.
We will resume the examination into
this policy of cooperation next week.

THE NEWS AND COURIER.

Our contemporary indulges in lengthy
comment upon letter received from
s"Mr. John Horlbeek, of Anderson" which
letter from mythical individual has in
duced the Ne,os and Courier to make; ex-
plicit declarations as to its position and
purposes in the present campaign. Now,
we are tolerably we'll acquainted with
the citizens of Anderson, aud a goodly
number Of them are subscribers to the
Lntclkgencer-a larger proportion, per-
haps, than can be found on the subscrip-
ton books of any other paper in the
State. But we never heard of "Mr. John
Holbeck" as an inhabitant of this region;
and he must be an inveterate borrower
of newspapers in general, for he has GER
tainly kept partially informed as to cur
rent events in the political world. Be
this as it may, the writer over that sigma
ture has secured an expression from the
Meys and Courier, which, we do not hesi-
tate to say, is sgratifying in many respects.
Of course, we do not agree with much
that is said upon the political situation
in response to the "insinuendoes" of
'Mr. John Horlbeck, of Anderson" as
the editor insists upon styling his anony-
NOUS correspondent, yet we are free to
declare that this response more clearly
demonstrates its future intentions and
will give greater satisfaction to its numer-
GUS constituency in South Carolina than
any expression of the Ne,Ds and Courier
since the adjournment of the State Dem
ocratic Convention last month. We
make this declaration with the utmost
kindness, and without intending to reflect
unfavorably upon the course pursued by
our contemporary, which has puzzled
others than "Mr. John Horlbeck, of An
derson." But there can be no miscon-
ception of this paragraph from the Ne,cs
and Courier: "We shall continue to
maintain and defend eur position, until
the whole question shall have been SUBJ
mitted to the State Democratic Conven-
ton, which will meet in the fall. Party
shackles, we admit, sit very loosely on
our limbs; but the essential thing in
South Carolina, without which any large
degree of political success is impossible,
is unity of purpose among the tax-paying
classes. We shall, therefore, accept, in
good faith, the decision of the State Con-
vention, whatever it may be, and shall
work unhaggingly and cheerfuily to give
effect to it's action" We may run the
risk of being regarded too candid in this
matter, but we are none the less sincere
in. expressing qualification at receiving so
positive an assurance that the Neacs and
Courier will sustain without question the
action of the State Democratic Conven-
ton. We make this expression, more
over, not from any doubts in our mind as
to its ultimate course, but because we
know that "Mr. John Horlbeck, of An
derson," wes giving vent to the opinions
of more persons than our contemporary
wot of when it made this emphatic re-
sponse

tive, and the report was adopted unani-
mously. This unprecedented action of
the House of Representatives, in sustain
ing and vindicating so completely the
honor and reputation of its Speaker, is all
the more gratifying and consolatory to
Mr.. Kerr from his physical condition.
He has been unable to preside for many
weeks, and great anxiety is entertained
with regard to his ultimate recovery from
severe prostration in consequence of la
borious duties.

Presidential candidates. Speaking of
Senator Bayard, it says: "There is no
nonsense more degrading than the aver
ment that his war record would harm
him. His course was that of gentle
man and a patriot. All this talk about
war records is contemplate and unpa-
