Ont on the Einth 0I October.

Our County Democratic Executive
Committee met in orr Court House
on Wednesday Of last week.
In the counting Of Edgefeld'a vote
in the Primary Election, on Wednes
day, August 9th, the summing uT
was done by four separate commit
tees, appointed by the Chair. Tc
each Committee were assigned nine
boxes. And when the work was done
amid the intense excitement, breath
less anxiety, and pell NELL crush
which are inevitable upon such occa
sions, the four statements could moi
be found. Indeed We ourselves, al
though one of the Secl etaries Of the
Central Committee, could lay our
hands upon only one Of these state
ments. And this despite our earnes'
efforts. This being the case, the news
papers evinced very great energy III
compiling their tables. which were
correct in the main, and contained nc
errors that could affect the final re
suit in any case. Having said this
much, the following preamble and
resolution, wisely adopted by the
Central Committee On Wednesd ~ the
l7th, will explain themselves:
WHEREAS. the newspapers Of Edge.
field County, on their own RESPONSE
bility, have published certain tabu-
lated statements Of the recent Pri-
mary Election; and, whereas, in GER
tain OF the Said tabulated statements,
30 published, without the authority
of the Executive Committee, there
were manifest errors; and, whereas,
in consequence of these errors, there
is some dissatisfaction expressed
against the Executive Committee in
different parts OF the County; there
fore, be it
Resolred, That we deem it onr duty
to state that said publications were
not BY authority OF this Committee
and that we are not responsible for
the came; that the result cf the elec.
ton as declared by the Executive
Committee, after the votes OF the diff
ferent Clubs were counted and aggre
gated, ia true and correct statement
Of the result of said election; that
the ballots and reports of the man
ayers of the different Clubs have been
preserved, and that any candidate
who desires to contest said result, and
can chow good cause therefor, will be
granted a recount.
After this, the principal object q
the meeting being to make necessary
arrangements for the campaign meet
ing to be held in our town on the 9th
October, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this Committee &c
very earnestly urge upon the PreHi-
dent Of each local Democratic Club
in Edge6eld County the necessity and
du = Of bringing out his Club mount.
ed and in good order, on tie 9tb day
Of October, to attend the ouly State
campaign meeting which will take
place in Edge6eld this fall.
The Com mmittee OF Arrangements
for the campaign meetipg-'he Chief
Marshal, &c, &c., &c.-will be en-
nounced next week.

A Big carp.

CAPTAIN A. D. Bates of BatssbuEg
yesterday sent to Superintendent
Huske a rousing big specimen OF tae
leather carp, which was taken from
the Bates pond. The fish weighed q
little yer twelve pounds, and was
beauty in shape and condition before
Mr.. Huske began dissectiDg it for tae
purpose of preparing it for exhibition
at New Orleans.
The fish was barely alive when
under inspection al the Department
and some one suggested that 1t bt
placed in water to test its powers o.
recuperation, but Mr.. Huske revoltsd
at the thought Of reviving a dyine
fish and then to slay it in the vign
of its existence. ce.-Re0iSttr.
