CONUt.K&UONAI. NOMINATIONS.

Ac no nominations for Congress haveyet been rando in this State, we wonldtike to »on the experiment of selectingthe candidate by a primary election tried.This mode of nomination possesses aére¬rai attractive features, which will, in ouropinion, amply repay for the slight in«convenience it will occasion. By thissystem the most popular, and hence themost acceptable, uian in the district willbe put forward for election. It gives afreer canvass of tho merits and demeritsof any aspirant, and the question is de«cided by a greater number of peoplethan by tho Convention, and thereforethe decision ia apt to be more Impartial,and is more »tire lo condemn an Improperaspirant. The greatest advantage, bow«over, ne tbiuk ls to oe derived frombringing meinbent of Congress face iaface once in every two years with theirimmediate constituents, which will keepthem in harmony with their party, andprevent the new. departures which erraticstatesmen who feel over-secure in theirseats sometimes indulge. By thia ne¬cessity to please tho ordinary voters theywould sU'dy'.¡ie wants and condition oftheir constituents to better advantage bypersonal observation and association du-ring the canvass for the nomination, andcould render more efficient serviee afteielection. Wo are willing to try tblcplan in the Tbw-d District with the threegentlemen who have beep spoken of foithe nomination. It will be fair to all o:

them, and we know that wo fully exprèsthe feeling of Col. Orr, who is the prefercuco of this and at least two or thrc<other Counties for tho position, when wi

say thal he does not desire thc nomination unie J he is the choice of the majovity of the Democratic voters of tinDistrict, mid wo présame, it is also tincase of the other gentlemen named fothe nomination. It would givo to ColAikeh the opportunity to face his conatituents and renbar an account of histewardship; thus giving to bim tho odvantage of an intelligent review, and athe tamo time affording tho opnortunit;for such upon and fair criticism a» ihealthful and proper. It viii give ai

equal chance to all, and allow the peoplto fender their own verdict, after sceiniand bearing all of the candidates, theiopinions and the objections to themWe are, therefore, highly in favor c

referring tho Congressional nominationgenerally, and in thia District particularly, to a primary election. It wilt bfair to all-unfair to none-and tho resnit witt be satisfactory to the friends call parties.

WHO AltB THE rimCHABEßST

The Greenville and Columbia Bailroad case iias elicited very great intorefduring the progress of the cause befor'Judge Hudson last week. The factupon which the contest as to the valaitof the recent salo rests aro clearly scforth in the following statement by Mmter N. B. Barnwell in his report to thcourt:During the courso of the bidding, an

when tho said W. A. Courtenay had bithe sum of two million threo huudreand ninety-three thousand and sis huedred dollar-, (12,863,000) the Hastesupposing that to be tho highest hiedirected the crier td cease crying,' anreceived from e eons In tho presencof the nald Vv. A. Courtenay a pap?containing the following names i '.WIClyde, T. at, Logan, Jos. Bryan, W. iMontgomery," and having previouslwritten down tho amount of the bid tai.mentioned, wrote down the names baneed to him on the sale-book. And thsaid Jos. Bryan handed to the Master.package of money.

Immediately thereupon, one-Cummings, who had been bidding on th?aid property for a long while in oppostion to the said W. A. Courtenay, dimauded tbut the. sale should proceed, anclaimed to havo bid a higher amourthan tho amount bid by tho said W. jCourtenay,The Master, upon information given t

him by several impartial citizens presensupported as it was by tho genenil testninny oí the bystanders,' becomihentirely satisfied that tho claim of sa!--? Cummings was true, and that trisaid W. A. Courtenay was not entitleio be considered the highest bidder at tlErice above-named, directed tho sale ta continued at once, and iiaving irnnn

dlatcly crowed-out the humea he haentered on his books and the amount <tho bid. returned the package of morieto tbs said Jos. Bryan.Tho entire episode did not take moi

than one minute, except on tho returthe package of money, the delay nsthat being duo to tho unwillingness <tho Master to pass about in the crowdpackago purporting to contain so largesam or rooney.The eaid Jos. Bryan, W. P. Olydo an

T.

Nor during tho bidding was Ibero aiintimation given that the bidding 1Mr. Courtenay was at one limo In aidifferent interest from what it waa at aiother time. It was on bis bid. madeopen and fréquent consultation wiMessrt. Clydtitrogan and Bryan that tsalé waa at first'stepper}, andi it waahis bid made In fieo manner that iproperty wa* finally knocked down to hwith, their consent at two million ni

so. when, after some consultation buwecnMr. W. Courtenay, Mr. Wm. Clyde.Mr. James Bryau and Mr. T. M. Lognv,tbe Master was requ «ted by ono of thc <ato enter the name of W. A Courtenay tiatho purchaser and to declare the tamepublicly, and it was eo done.No compllanco with the terms of sale

having been made by any party beyondthe payment nf the forfeit of twentythousand dollars, and a stay of proceed¬ings as to the resale of the property hav¬ing been onlered in consequence of theclaim of Mr. Clyde and bis associatesthat they purchased at the sum of $2,893,-600, with which purcbaie they offer tocomply, for the purpose of settliug thequestion Judge Hudson issued a ruleagainst Hon. W. A. Courtenay to showcause why he should not comply with hisbid of $2,968,400, to wbich he returnedanswer by Messrs. Bryan & Bryan andSamuel Lord, his attorneys, that as theagent of tho Clyde syndicate he had pur-chared the road at $2,393,600, and thatthereafter the bidding had been re-open¬ed, upon which he ceased to take un/further interest as such agent, ,<dd >alybid against one Cummings, who appearedto be drunk, and was, as tbe respondentbelieves, simply a straw bidder, he hav¬ing during tho sale proposed to teasebidding for a consideration, which re¬spondent rejected. That respondentQuully had tho property knocked downto him tho BCCOI

' time at $2,963,400, andlie again put un the twenty thousanddollar i as a forfeit. He claims that thefirst was tho valid sale, and th«, secondwholly null and void. The proper par¬ties have been made, and Judge Hudsonpassed an order requiring tho Master totako testimony as to the facts connectedwith the salo, and report to him on tbe18th of August next, nt 10 o'clock a. m.,in Columbia. Tho principal parties whowill lose by tho BUC-CBS of tho Clydesyndicate are tho holders of second mort-.jSgo bonds, who will realizo over fortyper cent, if the lost Bale stands, whilethey will get nothing if thc first prevails.There will bo a strong fight mado by thisclass of bondholders either to have thelast salo stand or a new sale ordered, inwhich contingency it is claimed tho roadwill sell for over three million dollars.

Tho telegraph announces that Presi¬dent Hayes is to start for California in afew days, and that during his sojournthere ho will stump the Pacific slope forGarfield and Arthur. This will be infull keeping with Republican partypolicy, but wiil be a great outrage uponthe precedents of the republic, and willnot bo likely to help tho Republicantickot. A general public indignationwill be aroused by such n violation ofdelicacy and docency.

Dr. Tanner, tho New York man whohas undertaken to fast forty days, bascompleted his thirtieth day, withoutfood of any kind. He is closely watch¬ed, and the only nourishment taken iawater.

A Terrible Butchery.A correspondent of the Abbeville Me¬

Early last Friday morning cries of"My poor wife is dead, what shall I do,"were heard for miles around Millway.It was soon ascertained that AbrahamMartin, colored, waa making those criesand hi* wife, Lucinda Martin, was lyingapparently dead, with her lied badlybroken in, under a dead tree, in thecorner of Abraham's yard. To thosewho first como to bis cries, bo told thaton getting up, be saw something lyingin his yard, and went out and found itwaa bis poor wife, with limbs on andaround her, which ho knew bad fallenfrom tho tree and killed her. From thefirst he was suspected of having commit¬ted tho deed; for the limbs were not ofthe same kind of wood, that would havefuller* from the tree. Trial Justice E.W. Walsc*.; and bis constable W. AHarris were soon on the ground. Mr.Harris arrested Abraham, and EsquireWatson began to investigate tho matterat once. Abraham at first denied every¬thing, but Into in the evening be bad socompletely xrourd himself up, by giviu^contradictory testimony,. that ho. con¬cluded to make a confession, not, howev¬er, boforo it was discovered that his un¬der garments were covered with blood.He denied using nu axe, that was fonndnear with bair and blood on_it, and saidhe only used a chair post, rsquire wat¬son had him committed to jail, and onbis way up he acknowledged that heused the axe. Lucinda was an honest, in¬dustrious woman, having lived withAbraham as his lawful wife for somethirty-five years, and is the mother offourteen children hy him. Som'o yearsago, be concluded that be was entitled tomors thâû Oïià w¡ip, ned. consequently hohas bad living with him for the pasttwelve years another woman. Some eisweeks ago this woman joined the churo/.,and refused to live any longer in adul¬tery With him. He thought all that wasnecessary for him to do was tn makehimself n widower, and marry lawful¬ly the weonia, be had been living with,sut in this be was mistaken. He ia notyet a widower,'although the attendingKhyslclau Dr. Neel, says, there is littleono for her recovery, though at this

TO THE PEOPLE OF ANDERSONCOUNTY :

si propose to ofter our entire stock-the .cknowledged largest in thc entire up-conney-

Dry Gooda,Boots, Shoes,

Clothing. Hats,AND EVERYTHING ELSE,

AT

NEW YORK COST !

Why Do Wo Do This?BECAUSE our Stock is too large for this

season of the year t

BECAUSE wo make more hy Hellingeverything at cost than carrying over, os toall indication*, Goods are going to be lownext season.

BECAUSE wo need every Inch of our

large store for on immense stock of FallGoods.

.-.

BECAUSE the peoplo expect of us tofollow the example of thc leading Store inevery city to have a great "Clearing Sale."

BECAUSE we can nftbrd it, and we knowour hundreds of customers appreciate ourefforts.

Lay aside your prejudices, and don'tthink that Charleston, Atlanta or NewYork ore the only places wheie you buywhat you want at a low figure.Wo say-give us a trial, and yon will bo

agreeably disappointed end highly pleased.No house can buy for less than wo do,
