The Chief Justlceslllpo

A correspondent of the New York
Times writing from Columbia says:
"It has been learned in Columbia that
Chief Justice Willard, to keep up ap-
pearances, will present his claim for two
years mare on the Supreme Bench to his
associates, at the rcassembling of the
court September l. 1t is needless to say
that Judges McIver and MCGOWAN will
declare the action of the Legislature
legal, which will end the matter, and
Gov. Simpson will step into Willard's
shoes. Senator Hampton's endeavors to
secure the United States District Judge
ship for Willard will come to naught,
owing to the determined opposition Of
the Broad street legal fraternity. The
latter despise Willard most hear.iya ard
will never consent to his elevation to the
Federal Bench. Col. Simonton is their
choice should their preference be consult
ed"
We venture to say that Justices Nc
Iver and MCGOWAN will decide the mat
ter on its consitutionalty and SO that it
could not he gainsayed if subject to re-
view by the tribunal of last resort in the
United States.
We shall never believe that any mere
political expediency could induce the
distinguished gentlemen sitting on the
Supreme bench to decide this matter
otherwise than upon its merits whatever
might be the consequcnces.-Cotumtia

Shot Through the Heart.

Bluford Workman, colored, deaf mute,
was found dead in n cotton patch near
the roadside opposite Mr.. Barnett
FIoyd's on Friday morning, having been
killed the night previous. He was shot
with pistol of about forty calibre; the
ball entered below the right shoulder,
passed through the heart and stopped
just under the skin of the left breast,
where it was taken out by DR.. Thomp-
son. An inquest was held over the dead
body on Friday and adjourned until
Monday when a verdict was found that
the deceased was killed by G. D. Burton
in self-defence. The deceased was twen-
ty-three years old, and formerly belonged
to Mr.. Madison Workman. At the time
ofhis death he was in the employ of Mr..
Charley Floyd. He was a peaceable
and harmless negro. From what we
have learned the killing seems to have
been a horrible outrage, without the
the slightest proyocation.-Ne'cberry

The Georgia Democrats are too strong
to appreciate the value of harmony and
unity. At their State Convention last
week they failed to make any nomination
for Governor by reason of a fierce and
uncompromising fight for and against
Gov. Colquitt. The Convention very
unfortunately adopted the two-thirds
rule, and found itself in the situation of
having, after thirty-eight ballots, two
hundred and fifteen votes for Colquitt,
with one hundred and thirty.fve against
him and distributed between Lester,
Hardeman and Gartrell. This left Col
quit about twenty votes short of the
necessary two-thirds, and the feeling had
become so intense that the minority
would not come to the majority and the
majority would not yield to the minority.
As consequence the Convention could
not agree upon candidate for Governor,
and proceeded to nominate the balance
of the State ticket without much diff
Guilty. The majority then presented the
name of Gov. Colquitt, and the minority
that of Hon. Thos. N. Norwood. There
are, therefore, two Democratic candidates
for Governor in that State. It is, how.
ever, not difficult to forecast the result,
as Gov. Colquitt will undoubtedly be re.
elected by an overwhelming majority.

A CARD.

To the Editor Of the MteUigencer:
SIR-Since have been nominated for
Congress by the Convention of Anderson
County, and my name favorably men
toned in some of the other counties COM
posing the Third District, I feel that it is
due to my friends that I should state that
I cannot become candidate for the po-
sition, on account of business arrange.
ments that have made, which will re-
quire me to change my residence to
Greenville, out of this Congressional Dis
trict. I heartily thank my friends for
their efforts in my behalf, and while l
cannot serve them in this capacity, I can
assure them that my efforts will always
be for the maintenance and. supremacy
of the Democratic party, which is to-day
the bulwark of our liberty.
J. am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, JAS. L. Orr.

The State meeting at Anderson on the
9th of September will be addressed by
Senators Hampton and Butler and the
State nominees, together with General
Conner and Captain F. W. Dawson, if
they can attend. The Democracy of the
State expect Anderson to be up to her
pass record, and they must not be disap-
pointed. We ought to have fully ten
thousand persons here on that day.
Every man, woman and child in the
County should be present to hear the
distinguished speakers and start the
campaign with unprecedented enthusi-
asm.

Gen. R. R. Hemphill, in declining to
become candidate for the House of
Representatives from Abbeville, has not
ceased to take an active part in the cam
paign, and his influence and zeal will be
fully exerted to retain the unity and
success of the Democratic party in the
County of Abbeville and of the entire
State. The General leaves politics after
four years of able and efficient service,
during an eventful period of our States
history. He carries with him the we'll
wishes of his many friends, and the
gratitude of an appreciative constituency.

GARFIELD'S GUSH.
A Vigorous Wave OF the Bloody Shirt
The New York Demonstration n Failure.

New YORK, August Z.
The welcome Garfield at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, last night was dismal
failure as Il political demonstration
There was something of a crowd but
very little enthusiasm. Garfield alluding
to the recent war said:
'iSoon after the great struggle began
We looked behind the army of white
Rebels and saw 100000 of black people
condemned to toll us slaves for our ene-
mics, and we found that the hearts of
these 100000 were God-inspired with
the spirit Of liberty and that they were
our friends. We have seen white men
betray the flag and fight to kill the Un.
ion, but in all that long dreary war we
never saw traitor in black skin. Our
prisoners escaping from the starvation of
prison, flying TO our lines by the light of
the north star never feared to enter
black mans cabin and ask for bread. In
all that period of suffering and danger no
Union soldier was ever betrayed by a
black man or woman, and now that we
have made them free, so long as we live
we will stand by these black citizens
We will stand by them until the sun of
Liberty fixed in the armament of the
Constitution shall shine with equal rays
upon every man, black or white through
out the Union, for fellow citizens, SOL
diers, in this there is all the benefcence
of eternal justice, and by this we will
stand forever. The great poet has said
that in individual life we rise on the
stepping-stones of our dead selves to
higher things, and the Republic rises on
the glorious achievements of its dead and
living heroes to higher and nobler ma
tional life. We must stand guard over
our past as soldiers, patriots, and over
our country as the common heritage of
us all.
Bets are freely offering here of five to
three against Garfield, with no takers.

AIKEN AND WALLACE.

The Congressional race in this Dis
trict is pretty we'll settled, but still it is
not free from asperity. Col. VIM. Wallace
is after COL Aiken, and seems disposed
to make some personal issues in the fol-
lowing card to the Columbia Register,
which Col. Aiken may feel called upon
TO answer, and thus we may be lockers
on in battle Of words.
In the last issue of the Columbia Reg
ister, Col. VIM. Wallace has card, in
which he thus discourses of the Hon. D.
Wyatt Aiken, who had denounced the
Colonel, in reply to verbal attack from
the stump, as "puerile and demagoguish, +"
or words to that effect: +
"and the word demagoguish, if in any
way applicable to my remarks, which l
deny, comes with i'll grace from one who
has the reputation Of being, par ercel-
lence, the demagogue of the State. He
says his first impulse was to address a
letter to me, but concluded, after reading
the report of the proceedings in the Dis.
patch, to defer his reply to the attacks
upon his course, of which the speaker
(meaning myself Showed, as it seemed
to him, "pitia6le ignorance" until the
opening ofthe campaign, which proba-
bly, will be after the nomination, and
which in this district is virtually an
election. This appears to ME crafty
dodge, and will not satisfy his constitu-
ency, who wish to hear his reply before
the nomination, and have pointed out tc
them the "pitiable ignorance" of his
course which he charges me with.
They wish to know whether he is a.
Democrat or not?
Whether the new party which he IA
vors is to take its principles from the
teachings of Clay, Webster, Calhoun or
General LeOuc? and why he wished to
exclude South Carolina from it?
They wish to know if he received a
salary of 81 500 as Secretary of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society, to
be paid him for raising fund for the
Joint Stock Auxiliary Association and
his services as Secretary, when he made
no efforts to raise said fund?
They also wish to know whether, dur
ing the time when he was receiving no
salary as secretary of the society, he did
not receive compensation therefor by
dividing the profits with the venders of
silver.ware from whom he purchased
the premiums for the fairs 2 and whether
he did not state to one of them, on max
ing such proposition, shat he did not
intend to avork for nothing,"-all of this
without the knowledge of the society,
which commended him for his zeal and
patriotism in giving his time and ener-
gies to the great interests of agriculture,
and for which disinterestedncss the far
mers ofthe district have elevated him to
his present exalted position"

The Black Code.

On Sunday last a. ]. Clinton, colored,
of Liberty Hill, sent letter to Horace
White (also colored) by his (Horace's)
sou. The letter was of an offensive ma
ture, and ended by challenging him to
duel with pistols, at ten PAGES; and said
he only wanted chance to put two bull
lets through his darncd heart. Now,
Horace did not want the bullets put
through his heart in that manner, SO to
prevent it he came to Camden on Mon
day and had q warrant issued for Clin-
toms arrest for sending Il challenge. He
asserted his intention of seeing the affair
through to the Camden Journal.

JUDGE COOKE, AGAIN.

Judge Cooke seems to be at sea politi-
cally. A few months ago he was uncer-
tain whether he was a Gary or Il Hagood
man, and now he seems to he uncertain
whether he is man at all or not so far
as politics is concerned. His late card
withdrawing from the canvass for the
Legislature was quite ambiguous so far
as stating his position, and naturally in
vited comment from the State Press,
which has evoked from him the follow
ing card:
GREENv1LEE, S. c., Aug. 1G, 1880.
Mr.. Editor: The following article ap-
peared in your issue of this date, viz:
Several of our State exchanges are
remarking on the ambiguous language of
ex-Judge Cookies card of withdrawal,
and some of the people of Greenville are
also asking what he meant. 1t is a mat
ter of taste and discretion, but it seems
to us that it would be advisable for
several reasons for the Judge to rise and
explain"
While am greatly obliged to you for
the kindly suggestion, that l should "rise
and explain" You will permit me to say,
it is matter of perfect Indifference to
me as to what construction the Estate ex-
changes" or "some of the people of
Greenville" may place upon my 'card of
withdrawal as a candidate for re-elec.
ton to the Legislature this will
ever be so, unless, per chance, they
should think or tell the truth on me.
The Democratic party, certainly, has
many sins, both of commission and omis-
sion to answer for, and I indulge the
hope that the estate exchanges" will, at
an early day, discover that they would
be acting in good "taste" and sound
discretion" to call it to account for its
misdoings and short comings before they
undertake to arraign private citizens.
am, very truly,
THOMPSON H. COOKE.
We would like for the Judge to tell US
what are the sins Of omission and COM
mission of (which the Democratic party is
guilty, and at the same time to tell us if
any other party is likely to do any better.
We are aware that the Judge is trying to
dodge, but we would like for him to be
man enough now to speak out his real
sentiments. If the Democratic party is
bad, tell us wherein it is so, and show us
how it can be bettered. We apprehend
that the worst feature about the party in
Judge Cookies eyes is that it will not
elect him to Office.

RALEIGH, n. c., August l6.
Reliable information has just been re-
ceived of tie assassination of Gen.
Bryan Grimes, on the 18th August, near
his home, in Pitt County. Rumor says
he was riding in buggy along the high
way when he was shot dead by some one
concealed in the bushes The murderer
is supposed to have been negro or white
man, against both Of whom Gen. Grimes
was an important witness in an arson
case. The scene of the murder being
remote from t0legraphic communication,
The particulars have not yet been OBJ
tanned. Gen. Grimes was very promi-
nent citizen, and reached by his high
soldierly qualities the rank of Major
General in the Cc rfederate Army.

General Rosencrans does not seem to
fear the influence of the rebel brigadiers

for Hancock, although Garfield was the
Adiutant- General on his staff. He rep

with enthusiasm for the Democratic
nominees.

Some Northern Republicans desire to
have Gen. Garfield canvass the South in
person. We hope their counsels will
prevail, for while he would certainly be
treated personally with every considera-
ton he would find it necessary to take
up most of his time in defending his own
corrupt record.

The testimony in the Grceuvillc and
Columbia Railroad case has been closed,
and the second mortgage bondholders
have clearly established the facts as set
forth in the Masters report, to the effect
that the road was enormously knocked
down to Hon. W. g. Courtenay at the
bid of s2,393,6O0, as Mr.. Cummings
bid larger SUN before the sale was
closed. 1t is true that the Clyde
syndicate also proved by number of
gentlemen that they did not hear the
higher bid, but that is negative testimony,
and cannot avail unless the testimony Of
those witnesses who assert that they
heard the higher bid is dlsbelieved. In
this case their testimony cannot be dis
believed, and hence it is pretty safe to
predict that the sale will either be con-
frmed at the second bid of S2,93O, 900,
or resale of the property ordered. It
is we'll worth the last price, and it is but
justice to the second mortgage bond
holders that the second.bid should stand.
