slIl0tIts - mocEatic Club
Tho Walhalla Democratic Club met ia The
Court House on Saturday, the 9th instant, and
was called to order by The Presdent at II O'Clock
Am. n " ,,% s
The object Of tho meeting having been stated
by the President, a motion was made BY Col. J.
]. Norton and adopted by the Club that the
President Of this Club be made chairman Of the
delegation to the County Convention, and that
he appoint the remaining members Of the dele.
CATION from the club list, after revising the
same, by striking from II the names Of those
persons who have removed. aud by giving others
WAC wish TO join an opportunity Of enrolling
their names.
On motion, by Col. W. G. Keith, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Npesolved 1ss. That II is tho sense Of this club
that tho plan Of nominating candidates by pri-
mary election, adopted in tho campaign Of 1876
should DO adhered to in the present campaign.
Reaotoed I'd. That in tho primary elections
this fall In addition to tho officers to be filed by
election, as provided by law, tho Democratic
voters Of the County shall vote for one pcrson
Tor the office Of Treasurer and one person for
the office of Auditor OF the County, and the
persons receiving the highest number Of votes
for these offices respectively shall be tho nomi-
nees OF the Democratic party Of this County for
said Offices, and shall be recommended accord
ingly to the next Governor for appointment.
Resolved 3D.. That at tho primary election to

The County Convention,

Among other things. will consider the
propriety of voting at the primary election for
persons to ill the Offices Of County Auditor
and Treasurer, aud also of eleoting in the
various townships of tho county ono Trial
Justice for each township. The election Of
persons to such offices under tho law can only
cratic party of the County in favor Of such
persons. This ought and will doubtless
secure the favorable action of the next Cover
9 nor, and amounts to q virtual election. Our
people have long contended for the right to
elect these officers, but have been denied it
under the low. The spirit, if not the lettor of
the constitution, confers the right, and it's
Il exercise is Democratic. In view of tho diff.
culties which might arise in some Of the
lower counties, by the election of incompetent
men, 1t might be better to let the law remain
as itis, but permit the party in oaoh county
# to vote for and elect suitable person, sub.
jsot 10 the approval Of the Governor, who, in
& all proper oasss, would carry OUT the will of
u the people. At oil events while the law
3 stands as it is, tho people have the right to
\ recommend for appointment by voting for
9 persons to ill these Offices. This practice has
/ been considered and adopted in Anderson and
s perhaps other counties, and it will be brought
before our County Convention by resolutions
recommending it, passed by tho Walhalla Club.
This suggestion proceeds, we are satiied,
! from no opposition to the persons now filling
"a the Offices referred to. On the contrary,
& these Offices are filled by competent men, and
K they have faithfully discharged their duties,
( so far as We can learn. Tho assessment last
Il year was made at less EXPENSE ,wo believe, than
4 that Of any county in the State and the books
y of tho Auditor are neatly kept and up with
the business Of the Office. Our Treasurer has
had a hard row to hoe by reason Of broken
8 payments. calculating interest, &c., complioa-
ting and doubling the work Of the Office; yet
2he has kept up his business and Is accommo-
dating Our Trial Justices arc competent
i and have discharged their duties satisfactorily
as q general rule, 80 far as we know.
q While this is trao. and perhaps these Offices
could not be better filled, the people have tho
right to express their preferences for these
2oficers through the ballot. They may elect
5She men now In Office, and if 80, we will havo
good officers, while if their preferences should
fall upon others, no one could complain. We
believe farther that to vote for persons to gil
these Offices would greatly relieve the Exeou.
tive Of the State in making appointments.

The committee from Anderson and Abbe.
vile, composed of Mr.. j. NJ. Latimer, of
Lowndesvile, and Messrs. W. w. Ilum-
phreys, E. NJ Ruoker and B. L. Whtner, of
Anderson, met tho Directors Of tho Augusta,
Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad on
Wednesday, at q o'clock. General p. II.
Bradley, of Greenwood. who ia superintend.
ing the grading of the Augusta and Green
wood Railroad, was also present.
On motion, Maj. j. V. II. Allon was called
to the Chair and j. L. Maxwell requested TO
act as Secretary.
The chairman announced the meeting ready
fer business.
Maj. Whitner, Of the Savannah River Val.
ley Railroad Committee. said so tar the organ.
ization of that road was only provisional.
Some time ago they camo to tho conclusion
that the road could only bo built by general
taxation, and that was the scheme contem.
plated in the charter. At tho first meeting Of
tho corporators 1t was resolved to give tho
people an opportunity to mako private sub
scriptions. Under the charter the question of
taxation had to DO submitted to tho poople
and vote would soon be taken in Abbeyille,
The idea was to grade the road and then turn
1t over to some other corporation to equip and
run. They expected to do the work Of cra-
ding with convict labor. 1t was perfectly
feasible to grade tho road from Anderson to
Dorn's Mines for $4,000. This he believed
could bo raised in two or three years, without
taxation. Tho people Of his county wore
afraid Of debt. Thoy needed competition for
their own salvation, bnt more than this no
beloved the building of this road would be
the greatest impetus that could be given to
the Bluo Ridge Railroad. That road was now
in operation to tho foot Of the Blue Ridge
mountains, Walhala, q distance of thirty
miles beyond Anderson, and moro than one.
half of tho grading from thore to the Georgia
line has been completed. The entire line
has been surveyed from Anderson to Knoxs
Vile.
Mr.. Rucker said they had como because
they believed tho citizens Of Augusta wcro
greatly interested in the proposed enterprise.
They would got much trade that did not now
come here. Abbeville made 10000 bales of
cotton and Anderson County $4,000, tho
greater portion of which would come to Au-
gusta If this road was built. But not only
this. They believed that if this road was
built the Blue Ridge Railroad would be coma
pleted and connection established with the
great Northwest True, Augusta now had
connection with tho Northwest, but Atlanta
had the advantage Of being the distributing
point between Augusta and the Northwest.
This would not be tho case with the new
route. There would bo no intermediate dis
tributing point If the people Of Augusta
were willing to do so much for the Augusta
and Greenwood Railroad, would thoy not be
willing to aid the new enterprise, which would
lnoroase their trade so nuchf The fathers Of

lNN Inn q TsNNEssEE DssTs Gbsernor Potter,
ot tennessee, has addressed TO a Citizen OF
that State ON open letter viewing the growth
Of the public debt, and stating that it's
amount on the Let of January last had
reached the magniicent proportion of $28,o
,2l2,6O6. lie says in conclusion,
81 nm clear in the belief that our financial
condition is the great barrier to prosperity:
1t has destroyed State. and municipal aud
seriously affected individual credit abroad,
and has broken down all confidence at homo.
Tho banks and individuals who hold money
look their vaults and refuse all acoommoda-
tions to the borrowers, under the belief that
whom public obligations arc disrogardcd, n
scheme will be devised by which individual
contracts will be ignored and avoided with
the samo facility. This want of confidence
has looked up millions of currency. which, if it
could bo placed in circulation would go very
far toward tho relief of the people Of Tonnes
SEQ. The holder of evon idlo and unemployed
money ostcoms it now as moro valuable than
any species of property, and he cannot be
expected to change his opinion so long as tho
tenure of property is made doubtful by n
disregard of obligations. Public opinion is
liked upon ono point-not to exceed an nddi-
tional levy of 80 cents, making the State tax
40 cents. This has boen the pledge Of tho
democracy for tho past four years. Tho
spcolal reporC OF tue C0mptr0ller, mado IN
December. 1877, shows that according to tho
present assessment, the tax on property and
merchants. at 30 cents, will yield net rcve
nue Of $7l4 .046; add to this tho cash income
$40 500 derived from the lease of tho peniten.
tiary, with the revenue from railroad. tels-
graph and sleeping car companies, we have

concerned. OF course this will bo burden.
some to tho taxpayer, but VIC owe the debt.
and debts arc always troublesome and never
paid conveniently. It is'well enough for the
people to understand that whatever settle
ment is made money will DO required to moot
tho undertaking, and this money will have to
como from the pockets Of tho tax payers Of the
State"
