Lieutenant Governor Simpson,

It having been reported that
Lieutenant Governor Simpson had
declined to accept denomination
an authoritative denial of tho report
has been made. While Governor
Simpson will not seek the Office, he
will serve again if the people desire
1t. This is the proper position to
take. Lieutenant Governor Simpson
displayed great firmness during the
trying days of tho "dual govern
ment," while his admirable coup in
gaining control Of tho recalcitrant
Senate and bringing that unruly
body to order, is one of the marked
features of the history of that period.
Governor Simpson was once de-
frauded Of scat in Congress to
which he had been elected by an
overwhelming majority, and last
summer was prevented from entor-
ing the canvass for the associate
justiceship, because his election
would have made Swails lioutenant-
governor. There is no better and
purer man in the State than he, and
no erroneous report tending to in
jure his prospect of recollection
should be suffered to pass without
contradiction.

A New INDUSTRY FOR THE Sourn-
1t would be be strange, indeed, if
tho rich soil and fine climate of tho
Southern States should bo fitted for
tho production of one staple article
only, viz. cotton. Tho fact is
that tho Southern States will in
time become the richest portion of
the country, agriculturally, because
of the great diversity of products
possible. A new opening has been
found for enterprise, viz. The pro-
duction Of winter butter, and we
learn that one farmer of Tennessee
and another of Arkansas are sending
fresh grass butter to Boston
market this winter These farmers
Keep Jersey COWS, which pasture
during the winter upon tho native
grasses, of which blue grass is the
chief. Blue grass for winter pasture
and bermuda grass for the summer
will sustain COWS in fine order, and
there is the whole winter for the
production Of butter. Why should
not Southern farmers avail them
selves of the advantages Of their
climate and raise dairy products at
the time when Northern dairies are
suspending operations ?-Aa,se,Icaae

which the practical workings Of the
Democratic organization wore mani,
tested, all objection to tho eightl
article ceased It is now recognized
rs necessity, the saving clause in
the constitution and, in tho Inn
guage of quack advertisements, enc
party having once tried it, will evel
consent to be without it.
Politics is matter Of business
It has it's emoluments and practical
rewards which prevent it's ascending
into the higher atmosphere Of son
timent. The Democratic party, in
Office, differs from the Democratic
party out of Office. It is q Joint
stock company entrusted with the
management of tho political and
financial affairs Of the State. in
common with other business asso-
Citations, il must have specific con-
tracts between it's members Its
mutual pledges. Self-interest does
not alwas adjust the wavering> bal-
ance in favor Of the public good.
Smith, or Brown, or Jones, rs nero
private in the Democratic ranks,
with no axe to grind, can we'll see
that his interest demands the Sub
servience of personal opinions to the
will of majority. But the same
individual as defeated candidate
for office, or rs frieDd Of such,
believing that in some mysterious
way he has jugglod out of tho nomi-
nation, cannot always see that it is
better to submit to tho will of the
majority than either to gather his
clans for an independent contest or
else to sulk like Achilles in his tent,
while Agamemnon grapples in
unequal contest with his foes.
Moreover, when no pledge is re-
quired, tho friends of any candidate
may doubt the sincerity of their op-
ponents, and may be thus induced
to look to outside influences to an
election ; for q nomination that will
not carry solid party vote, is not
worth the seeking. But let it be
known that evory member of the
party stands pledged on his honor to
abide by tho will of the majority,
md perfect confidence will result.
The fight will be made within the
party, and every effort. will hA ',o1o
" perfect instead of to weaken party
Wherever the experiment has been
made, it has been found expedient
to adopt this pledge. Without it,
tho organization is a rope of sand
That some good men will not pledge
themselves is o matter of profound
regret but there ever has existed
the obstinate twelfth juror, The
effort must be made to bring him
over, not to lead the other eleven
buck to him. Let every Democrat
sign the pledge, and then work man-
fully to secure the nomination of the
best men. But he must not be
allowed to abstain from supporting
the party nominee simply because
his man was defeated. He might
do tEis if not pledged.

The Tie that Binds.

The Neaos and Courier, while
very properly holding that the pri~
mary election scheme is not abso-
lutely perfect, still believes that it
offers the best means of unifying
the party. It, however, interposes
an objection to the requirement of
a pledge from each voter that he
will support all Democratic nomina-
tions. 1t says
We doubt the practicability and
wisdom Of requiring the proposed
pledge. It goes against the grain,
like asking a man to swear that he
is honest and God-fearing. There
is reason for exacting pledge of
the candidates, becansa thay sock
the suffrages of The people, and
expect, if duly nominated, to receive
the votes of the whole Democratic
party, of Democrats who opposed
them as we'll as those who support
ed them. To put all candidates on
the Same footing, and insure fair
dealing, it is necessary that tho
friends of every candidate be satis-
fed that, if their men be nominated,
the other candidates will not make
new contest before the people. It
is equally desirable to have solid
vote by the members Of the party,
but we do not think that the Demo-
cratic voters will consent to pledge
themselves in the way suggested.
The effect of the plan, if adopted,
will be to throw the nominations
into the hands of a small number Of
Democrats who are so Jealous that
they will vote on any terms. We
are confident that the party can be
held together without any moro
personal pledges. It is to the in~
terest of the people to uphold the
Democratic party. Self-interest is
pledge enough.
And again, we object to this
because we think it unnecessary, and
because it will keep from the polls
many sound and staunch Demo ocrats,
who expect to be trusted by the
party as the party is trusted by
them.
This pledge is nothing more nor
less than the famous "eighth article.
of the Anderson Constitution,
adopted by many other counties.
The objection now raised by the
Nesos and Courier was heard in
most Of the counties two years ago,
when the article in question evoked
more discussion and feeling than all
the other provisions of the constitu
ton combined. Where adopted, il
for long time kept number of the
worthiest citizens out of the organi.
zation. Independence of thought
had become so general in Soutt
Carolina that party dictation was
viewed with adherence. Ever,
good citizen constituted himself
committee Of one to see that tn,
State received no detriment, and h,
hesitated to bind himself to an,
party, because he feared that others
through mistaken zeal, might adop
course injurious to the public veal
and he would be powerless to inter
pose check. But, as time wore on
the absolute necessity of a mutua
pledge became more apparent, unit
In those counties, we believe, il
