Froaobora and Preaobtnc?Tbe Praaa and Bnalnaas Man. We took the ears Friday morning for Wal Milk, ud found the number or down j>asaengers much larger than the/ were a few weeka pre*ion*. The Railroad mod be doing a fair business, as we learn that the freights are aleo on the increaae. Anderson la decidedly a cotton market. They are paying at thia time 13 eenta for the heat qualities, and every day a considerable number ot cotton wagona may be aeen in the atrceta. The complaint ia, that it will take about one-third of the cotton crop | to pay lor the fertilisera used in ita production. < Unless the price of cotton greatly improves, or the costs of fertilisers becomes one-third less, there will be a great falling off in their , nae another year. It eecma reasonable, that ( (he manufacturers of phosphates in this State, ( might come down in the price, when the stock in the companies ia selling for two and three timet ita original cost. The cars now run twice daily between Andortoa and lleltoo, so that one ia never die- 1 appointed in making a return trip on the ' same day. This la a great convenience, and 1 Induce# a considerable increase or trareU 1 We learned at Anderson that Rot. Mr. ^ Beverly, Pastor of tbe Baptist Church, has ' tendered bis resignation, solely on the ground of insufficient salary; but the Church holds | him in deservedly high estimation, and efforts < are making to retain his Ferries*, which it is to be Loped will succeed. It is a thing to be lamented, that deserving ministers are so often compelled, by the necessities of their families, to abandon fields of useful labor. The poople generally, of all denominations, are not yet sufficiently alive to their duty and true interest, in supporting preachers, who are under Qod, the promoters of religion and morality, without which good society, and good governments, cannot exist. A venerable minister, Rev. Thomas Dawson, now past the age of four-score, got on the cars near Pendleton, and we bad an interesting talk with the old gentleman before arriving at Walhalla. lie is a native of Eng. land, but has been a citizen of this country about 54 years. He knew old Mr. Hayden, formerly of Greenville, and the family of Thomas Rows, in England. Many years ago, whilst traveling in Grca^gille District, on calling to get dinner at a bouse by tbe w.vtirl. K. was inrnriiMl at h?tnr accosted by the man of the houae as an old acqaintance, to the salutation, 44 llow are you, brother Dawson." lie responded, 44 Yon are mistaken. I am no acquaintance of yours. You cannot know mo." " Yea," aaid the man, 44 I do. I was present when you were baptised in old England." Just then a woman came out with another, 44 How are you, brother Daw on." " I do not know you either," be replied ; but she also informed him that she had seen him baptized. He replied, 44 If you will repeat what the minister aaid to me on that occasion, I will believe you." She told him the preacher aaid: "You are a soldier of King George God grant that you may henceforth be a faithful soldier of King Jesus." A mutual and joyful recognition followed, for this was the very word of the.preacher. The prayer of that minister has been answered. Mr. Dawson has been for more than half a century an exemplary Christian and active and useful minister of the gospel; beloved and respected by every one. He did abandon the army of King George, and enlisted for life and eternity among the hosts of the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Mr. Dawson married soon after settling in this country a Welch lady, 12 years bis junior, who is still living in good health, after having borne him 15 children?nearly all of whom are still living. The descendants of this venerable pair 1 . ?r.- e ?f ik. now numoer uuuui un/? u?mo v? uuiuwi re great-grand children. They had five sons and aeveral grandsons in the Confederate army, and a son and grandson, Hunnicuyt, fell in the aervieo. It was a brother of the latter who was shot some two years ago by a negro rioter. The murderer was tried and executed for the offence in Pickens County. Spending Sunday in Walhalla. we heard sermons preached by Rev. Mr. Chymes, of Georgia, who supplies the Baptist congregation. We also heard Rev. Mr. Smei.tskr in the Lutheran Church Sunday afternoon, and a lecture by Dr. Turner at night, delivered in the Methodist Church. Mr. Chymes is a young and promising preacher, and quite popular with his congregation. The Baptist and Presbyterians have no house of worship as yet, in Walhalla. The former, however, are well accommodated in the use of the Court House, and Dr. Turner preaches two or three Sundays every month in the Methodist Church?the Methodist having no < resident minister. Prof. Smeltxer is a man of learning and a forcible preacher. He is said frequently to persuado his hearers by " the terrors of the law." His text on Sunday afternoon was from Hebrews : " Our God is a consuming fire." Dr. Turner, a distinguished minister of the Presbyterian Church, who long officiated as pastor at Abbeville Court House, is now one of the Professors in the Lntheran College at Walhalla. The College still bears the name of Newberry, although removed from that place. Dr. Turnkr preaches and lectures to the congregation of his church. He is now delivering a course of lectures to young men, warning tbem against the peculiar perils which endanger their morals and true success in life, and which lead their souls to perdition. On Sunday evening bis topics under this head were two: The dangers of a devotion to monoytnaking as the supreme and all absorbing pursuit, and the dangers and demoralisation of gambling. Tbe lecture was well calculated to benefit nls bearers. politics. There is not a great deal of excitement in Oconee ; there is a compiaint of apathy and indifference on the pait of some who ought to he up and doing. In Anderson there Is perhaps more excitement. They are holding meetings about in various places ; tiia candidates and others atlen > ' and make speeches. Mr. Batlis F. Crat- 1 ton, one of the Reform candidates in An deison, is very actire, scarcely remaining at home ol late a single day ; we presume ( - f 1 - ? 1 ? j o-i i, ouivrv nr? vtfvniiariy cnKa|(fii ii'cj iihtc decided anil radical majorities In both conn- ' tie*, aa In Greenville.

One of tho moot important and effleloat means of promoting the I usiness and prosperity of a town, and tbo section In whioh it is situated, is tho newspaper press. And thoee who desire to do good to themsdres and their neighbors onght to ene?nrag* it, by promoting tho circulation of a good papert by freely adrertleing, and by ail the legitimate means. When schools, or churchss, or railroads, or public improvements, and public institution# of any kind, or trade nod trarel arc to be promoted, the local newspaper ia always expected to show op such matters. Usually the editor is chiefly relied upon aa the sreneral advoeet* t? of all matters relating to " the common de' fenee and general welfare" of the region ronnd about him. But if the proprietors of printing preeses furnish their own material* pay their print era, and employ competent editors to fulfill the responsible lark of la boriog usefully for the publio, or to entertain and instruct, to originate suggestions* and, it may \ new and juit views, apart Trom the threadbare and hackneyed stale lentiments of beeond-hand copyists, should not a generous public liberally reward them for their enterprise I Sometimes, it may be, the services of a newspaper are worth many Lhousands or millions to the public in the promotion of rchetnes and measures; and nore than any money prloe when aiding he cause of education, morals and religion. ITet men professing regard for all these hinge are sometimes known to refuse to uhseribe, or begnidgo the payment of the >a!try sum of two dollars a year, or a do] ar lor six months, for a local paper capable , >f serving them with ability. m ? The Election?L>ast Call. On Wednesday neat is the election for 3overnor, Lieutenant Governor, members o the Legislature, and District officers ? Every good citizen will surely tnrn out end role at this most important election. There :an be r.o excuse for refusing to vote ; he who neglects this duty will prove false to himself and to bis country. If, however, Ihere are any that have no higher motive than mere parly feeling, they had better stay at home. We trust that Greenville will give a good aecount of herselt this time, and sustain nil those candidates known to I be friends of economy, low tsaes, and a pure administration of puhlie affairs. The law of Congress provides severe penalties against every one who threatens any man for voting ae he pleaaea. or obstrueia htm in the exercise of the right to vote.? The colored men, therefore, may freely vote for any man of any party in whom they have confidence, and none dare molest them. They need not fear the League, or its abettors, or any one else. .But the law does not prohibit the use of persnssion and fair argument; so all may gel as many votes for the right men as they can, but if violence or fhas of employment is threatened, they subject themselves to severe penalties. ? -? --?? Usury Laws. What the people shoulJ Insist upon their eandidates for the Legislature, of all parties, is a repeal of the act of 1866 in tills Slate, which abolished the previous usury law. The country is injured by legalising rates of iuterest beyond seven per cent.? Pour years' experience has proven the expectations of good arising from it were without found it ion. It has brought no cap its I into the State; It has cncoiuaged no productive industry, but, on the contrary, has contributed to the injury of the many for the benefit of the few, and will hencef?.,ii. i.- . ? t-? -ii i? vii uivi v gu. xvck die uiu law come back again?seven per cent., and I lie liabil ity to forfeit all interest if more is charged but not the principal. All the other States, almost without exception, have retained their old laws against usury. The Legisla* tu>-e under the Johnson reconstruction! meant well by a repeal of the old laws, bu many of the members are now convinced it was a sad mistake, or (hat it is time now to go back. War News. Sinee Inst week, the situation of affairs in France continues but little altered. The Prussians are nearly ready to bombard Par* is unless peace is made or the city surrend rs, one of the other of which we hope may be done. Paris brought on the war and threatened death to all who advised agaiost it. She ought to save herself from unnecessary ruin. Nothing but almost certain successful defence can justify the mili tary in provoking the destruction of a city Many skiimishes and some considerable batties with detached forces occurred, with varying success, but victory in most eases re* mains with the Prussians. Metz still holds out. The famous Oaribalw has joined the French and the Papal troops likewise, in all tome six thousand. The Tableaux Vivant. Last evening, llie performance in the Court House wee most brilliant and sueeeaeful, and a good house despite etouds and some rain. This evening, the Tableaux will be repeated and some additional pieces exhibited. A large assembly is expected. Those who go, will be most delightfully entertained. Particulars another time. ? < - ? Serious Accident. On Wednesday evening last, whilst Mr. Josr.rn Wiiitmirk was returning in a onehorse wagon front bis farm, situated one or two miles distant, on the Pendleton Road, the horse bo was driving, took fright, running away and turning the vehicle over, bruising him a good deal. One of the wheels was broken entirely to pieces. Although the injury to Mr. W. was serious, yot wo hope he will soon recover. Bale of City Real Estate. Mr. JuLies C.

Why an I Because they are not Reformer*?they don't ring of the right metal; they are felling obstacles across the road to Reform, and not acting as they should, by pulling, pushing and scotching the wheels Home of them make flaming Reform speeches. If they speak their own sentiments, shy do they come out and eiipple the chances of the ticket nominated by representatives from fifteen out of sixteen townships, in the County voters t Some of them may be jnnr personal friends, a' some are mine, but if you vols for them you weaken our party and strengthen Scott and Ranricr's, ant lo and behold your dear friend whose name you inserted on your ticket by discarding a nominee, ia beaten, and the man you eo much opposed is elected by your misconduct. Be cautb-ua. FRIEND OF REFORM. October 10th, 1870. For the Greenville Enterprise. Ifefrs. Editor*?Allow me through yoai paper to correct an erroneous impression that has been made by designing office-seekers for political effect, in reference to the obligation of the Union League. The charge ha* been made and circulated, that all members of the Lesgue are bound and pledged by their obligation to vote for tbeii nominees. Nothing was ever more erro, neous; and such a conclusion is either tb< result of wilful ignorance or of designing de ception. The obligation of the League, aa il is laid down in the Ritual, i? not so odious U patriotio eitixons as some bare imagined ; and had it been carried out in its true meaning and intent, no cause of complaint would now exist; bnt all its fundamental principles hart been ignored, and all its true meanings and intentions hare been snbrerted and manipulated by the adoption of the odious practice of Nominating Conventions. The obligation is, in substance, as follows: M All members of the League are pledged to rote for good and reliable Union men?supporters of the Constitution of the State and the United States?men that will encourage the elevation of the laboring masses, and promote all measures of peace and brotherly lore; patriotic citisens who will administer the Qorernmcnt with economy, justice and liberty." Can any man, who took this obligation^ say in truth, that bis expectations hare been realised ? and wonld any patriotic citixen refuse to take it now, if he bad any assurance I that it wonld he faithfallr carried out for the future ? But wby has there been ueh a woful and dreadful mistake in the aeleetion of our ruler* under tbi* obligation? Because corrupt men have impressed the people with the Idea that all member* of tbe League are bound to vote for the party nominee*, I* the simple and easy answer; while the spirit and Intent of the obligation is in direct opposition to such nominations. The open and avowed object of tbe obligation is to prevent the evils of an aristocratic oligarchy; the centralisation of power in tbe few, who would have us believe that they are born to rule. To prevent those principles from gaining a foot-hold in a free Republican Government, was the object of the League. But are they not all encouraged and practiced by tbe present system of nominations? Most asnredly they are. The liberties and rights of the people have been interfered with and manipulated by eorrupt rings and designing demagogues long enough ; it is time that the people should assert and maintain these rights, untrammeled by the nominations of any party. Now if we are to be bound lo nominations, why do we elamor for universal suffrage? Why all this jubilee over the 15th Amendment ? If we are to delegate to twenty or thirty men tbe right and power to ehoo*. oar ralera by nomination*, why not juit u well restrict the franchise et once to twenty or thirty voter* to each County t It amounts to the same thing in practice. Nomination* are partial suffrage in it* worst form; going to tha ballot box to vote a humbug and a fare*, when the man i* eontroled by nominations made contrary to the approval of hi* own judgment. It I* always safe to infer when you hear a man ery out, " stick to the nomination," thst he is dead weight, or has some friend that is dead weight, that will have to be lugged through on the shoulders of some Is of seasonable GO( mon bononbfe Md erHirlm BualMt, or It* aiit go under* Jfow all those tbnm the* h*r? baaa practiced by tk* Lwf*, and inculoated by soaee of the dm apt aiftuw. M?*r *?i intended by oar obligation,' but preeieely the reverse. The only blading pledge tbat I tee la the obligation la reference to voting, la not to vote for a nan whoee re* cord la aot patriotic and boneat; end if we were to act eonaiatent with oar pledge In naaay laatancea j and if we were to rote for the nominee, the act woald leave tbe stain of perjury on ear seals, for we are boned la truth to vote for none but aaen of tbe higbeat order of intelligence and moral patriotism.-Consequently, it may sometimes occur, ea It bu ia oar rooent nomination, that oar obligation may Tory seriously interfere with our Toting for the nominees, for it ia a fact that defies contradiction, that no pledge or obligation of the Leagoe can or ever has, by any principle of honor or of justice, required any mem ber to Tote for the nominees, and no other party can find any justifiable excuse to adopt the odious and tyranlcat practice. AH honest mam ?f mil naattaa arlmU tkat mfnem In ?ka I Government la jraiHr needed, and all Intellipat man know tkat no reform can, or ever will be made, aa long aa men will blindly vote for nomination*. Right at thia point reformation ahonld begin, if ancccaa la expected hereafter. When all nominatlona are ignored by the people, and men are forced to atand or fhll by their own merit; then will we secure the election of Juat auoh men aa the pledge of the League requires na to vote for?and until thia plan ia adopted, the hue and cry of reform ia another hnmbng and bnrleaqne on the righta and liberties of the people. No Republican or Democrat, who prises the righta and liberties that are guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States, and sealed by the blood of his fathers, will ever be tram| meied by the nominations of cliques and rings eontroled in the interest too often of corrupt olca seekers. +** ron TUB OX KIN TILLS ENTERPRISE.
