The COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-Wot trust
that every township will send q full
delegation to the democratic county
| convention which is to meet at
Winnsboro Oh Saturday, the 22nd
inst. We need not impress upon
the people the importance of this
gathering. It must bo apparent to
all. Tho number of Delegates al
lowed to each township is ten, thus
forming IL convention of one hun
dred and thirty members. Every
township should send it's full com
plement of delegates. The fuller
the convention, the more represcn.
tative will it be of the interests Of
the people, and the better the op
rortunity for q full and free inter
change of opinions. A convention
Of the people, properly constituted, !,
will be most excellent starting for
that absolutely perfect organization
which must BIZ mAde long before tie
November election. We have always
believed that the people of Fair.
field would do their full part at the
polls, but something more is now
needed-we must have Il perfect
union of the honest people long be
fore tho voting time comes. We
trust that the organization of the
democracy of Fairfield which has
been begun, will soon be Carried to
perfection.

A SAD DEATH The papers mcns
toned about week ago sorious
accident to Miss Emma Parker, of
Columbia, then residing ut Williams
ton. She Mas walking along Il
road, when she suddenly discovered
that her clothing WIS c,l fire. She
had passed by blacksmith shop,
and it is supposed that a spark
lodged on her clothing and, famed
as she walked along, soon caused Il
full flamo. The unfortunate young
lady fingered, in great suffering,
for some days, when death came to
her relief. Speaking Of this sad
occurrence, the Ncws aad CouEicr
says -
1.-The sad news has been received
that Miss Emma Parker, daughter
Of DR.. Parker, of Columbia, died at
10 o'clock on Saturday morning.
10 the last she bore her great
suiferings with singular fortitude
and unbroken patience, and, in all
that illustrates the character of the
Christian gentlewoman, her death
was as beautiful as her life. The
cause of the accident of which Miss
Parker was the victim has not been
satisfactorily explained. All that
is certain is that the flames were
cxtinguishcd the instant that it was
known by Miss Parkcr's screams
that her clothing was on fire.
Whence tho fro came, or how long
it had smouldorod before it was
discovered, cannot be ascortained.
Miss PARKER was young and nc.
complished, richly endowed with
physical grace and mental beauty,
and the sweet girlgraduate was
fitting hersof, by close study, for
M enlarged field of usefulness
when tho horrible accident Occurred
which hurried hor out Of the
world"

HE GREATLY HOPES FOR GOVERNOR TILDEN's
ELEoTIoN-HIs LETTER TO a FRIEND.
The Washington Chronicle in speaking Of
the united support which Governor Tilden
seems sure of receiving from the South,
says =
Jefferson Davis writes from London re-
Gently to an old and very particular friend
in this city, who in his exultation could not
keep the secret, that in case of Gov. Til
den's election he shall return in time to
meet his friends from the South at the
opening of the Confederate House. rs
expressed great hopes of Governor Tilden's
election, and writes that this is also the
general belief of the thousands of Confed-
crate exiles il England, including AIR. Benz
ianin, his Secretary of State under the Re-
bel Government. Mr.. Davis says that the
sympathies of the monarchists of England
are all in favor of Governor Tilden, and he
says confidently that the friends of " the
lost cause who spent their money so free
ly in aid of the Rebellion to destroy the
American Union, have contributed large
sums to Governor Tilden's election fund,
and would freely contribute thousands of
millions, If by that means they could break
up the mated great Republic, which is a
menace to every monarchy in Europe. He
writes that if Governor Tilden is elected,
aeesly ell af- the exiles in England and
and Europe will Immediately return, and
that for himself he shall hereafter reside
in Washington. Mr.. Davis has scores OF
old friends in this city who held Office fol
many years through his powerful influence,
and they now have strong hopes of Cover
nor Tilden's election and their reinstate-
ment in Office. Two or three, through let
ters from Mr.. Davis, got places under the
Confederate House, but the amount Of pa
tronage was too small to employ many.

GLAD TTDTNGS FROM NEW

The closeness of the contest in Ohio and
Indiana prolonged the public interest, while
the result seemed uncertain, but the latest
and fullest advices received last night, show
from 5000 to 10000 Republican majority in
Ohio, on Barnes, Secretary of State, who
was expected to run behind his ticket, and
a probable small majority in Indiana for
Harrison, Rep, for Governor.
In New Jersey the Republicans swept the
city of Newark by about 1000 majority,

MR. CHARLES MOORE ACCEPTS THE NoMINA-
TIoN OF MR.. wELLs's MEETING.
The supplementary Temperance meeting
held at the old Board of Trade rooms, last
evening, by Geo. W. Wells, Rev. A. D. Da-
Wis, and several other persons, nominated
Charles Moore of this city, as temperance
candidate for Congress. The committee
duty, Mr. Wells informs us, and he has ac-
oepted. Rfi
Mr.. Moore was formerly a ship-builder,
but is now retired from business. He is a
local preacher. connected with Asbury NJ.
E. church. In politics he is Democrat,
and under ordinary circumstances would
hardly be expected to vote against Mr.. Will
liams, the democratic candidate. 1t may
be presumed, however, from his acceptance
of this nomination, that he will now sup
port the Temperance candidate.
