"The tax bill?why it should be ve? toed," is the title of a pamphlet by James G. Thompson, editor of the Union-Her? ald, and is an exhaustive argument on the subject. A number of copies have been sent to this office for distribution. Call and get one. Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, has appoint? ed Hon. D. M. Key, of East Tennessee, to succeed the late Ex-President Johnson in the United States Senate. Mr. Key is a thorough Democrat, but announces that he will be no mere partisan. His appointment is received with universal satisfaction throughout East Tennessee. The Beaufort Tribune has been told that the Attorney General telegraphed Lieut. Gov. Gleaves to offer a reward for the capture*of Parker, when he escaped from jail. This would seem to indicate that Mr. Melton at least recognized Gleaves as the legal Governor at that time. It is a nice family quarrel, and will tend to shape things for the next campaign. The body of Grimwood, who ascended with the celebrated ?eronaut, Donaldson, in a balloon from the city of Chicago about the first of July, has been found in lake Michigan, and fully identified by the clothing, watch, papers, &c The balloon nor Donaldson have as yet been heard of, though it is pretty certain Don? aldson has been lost in the lake. This will probably put a quietus upon naviga? tion by means of the balloon for some time to come. The Blackville Sun learns from good authority that an informal caucus of the leading Republican members of the Legislature has been held, and that it was decided to impeach or attempt to Impeach Governor Chamberlain should he veto the supply bill. It is to be hoped his Excellency will not allow himself to be bullied. The tax bill is a grand swindle, and should be knocked into the head. We would like to- direct the attention of our legislators to the necessity for a dog law in this State. The important and profitable business of sheep-raising is seriously retarded by the immense number of worthless dogs, whose chief avocation is to create mischief and an? noy neighbors. Estimating the number of dogs in South Carolina at 200,000, which is about three for every one repor? ted now for taxation, a moderate tax would yield an increased revenue to the State, which might be set aside for the support of public schools. One dollar per head will not be exorbitant, and yet that amount would be equal to nearly two mills upon the taxable property of the State, which would relieve the pres? sure of general taxation to some extent. Such a provision might decrease the number of dogs, but in proportion as this useless population is decreased the busi? ness of sheep husbandry would thrive and prosper. The committee of physicians appoin? ted by Judge Cooke to examine into the mental condition of Edward F. Stokes, Esq., who has been confined in the Greenville jail for two years, for con? tempt of court in supplementary pro? ceedings, have reported that they found him deranged upon the subjects of relig? ion and politics, and that while he is not responsible for his acts, prompted by his views upoa these subjects, he is not oth? erwise incapacitated for attending to his business affairs,, and that as confinement in prison will only augment his mental disorder and impair his health, they re? commend his discharge. Judge Cooke thereupon ordered his release from prison ttntil the further order of the Court, and issued a rule against Mr. Stokes, requir? ing him to shew cause why his name should not be stricken from the roll of I attornevs for contempt of court. Mr. Stokes' case is clearly one of contempt of I court, and while Judge Cooke's action has heretofore been in accordance with law, his recent step3 for the release of Mr. Stokes have been well-timed and merciful, and are highly commendable hi the Judge. The initiative steps for the formation of a National Union Party to run Gen. N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, for Presi? dent, with Hon. L. Q. C. Lainar, of Mis? sissippi, or some Southern man, for Vice President, were taken in Boston on the 21st inst. No prominent men of cither party were present, but a State Central Committee were appointed and a plat? form of principles adopted, declaring Democratic or Republican organizations dangerous, and calling for a party of | peace. It condemns the enormous frauds of the government, dishonest officials, general monopolies and corporations tending to oppress the people. Stuhlen contractions of the currency are declared dangerous, the only safe way to specie payments being to make the promises of the nation as valuable as private notes. Gen. Banks was not present, but wrote stating that he was no candidate for the Presidency, and did not desire to stand in the way ofthat governmental reform demanded by three-fourths of the people. This party can hardly amount to much and (ten. Banks knows it. His letter in? dicates that he is pretty well satisfied that the Democratic candidate for the Presidency next time will walk over the track. Tbe Way to the West. At the recent meeting of the stock? holders, and directors of the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad, which was held in Hendersonville, N. G, it appears that great dissatisfaction was manifested by the representatives from Charleston at the evident desire of Spartanburg to control the future management of this railroad scheme. We will not enter into the merits of the controversy which has grown out of the action of the directors, by which Mr. A. C. Kaufman, of Charles? ton, was virtually ousted from the posi? tion of Secretary and Treasurer. This led to the resignation of Hon. C. G. Memminger, of Charleston, who has served as President for the last two years. Hon. D. R. Duncan was chosen President and W. K. Blake, Esq., Secre? tary and Treasurer, both citizens of Spartanburg. These are capable and upright gentlemen, whose administration will doubtless prove satisfactory to those interested, and whose efforts will be hon? estly directed towards pushing the enter? prise to completion. The attitude of Charleston, however, upon the subject of railroad communica? tion with the West, intimately concerns this portion of the State, especially when the completion of the Blue Ridge Rail? road is once again under discussion. The Charleston Nercs and Courier, in review? ing the circumstances connected with the meeting alluded to, makes an emphatic declaration to the effect that it does not expect any longer to secure the desired connection with the West by way of the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad. All the bright and promising results so often depicted in its columns are van? ished away, and our contemporary is looking elsewhere for the realization of oft-repeated dreams. We would not ut? ter an unkind word to our friends in Spartanburg, nor throw an obstacle in the way of their project, although wo are constrained to express the opinion that Charleston is acting wisely in abandon? ing a scheme not in sympathy with its interests and advantages. Its true policy is to foster and encourage the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad, whose con? nections with that city are direct and uninterrupted, and whoso control is vir? tually within its grasp. The abandon? ment of this line for another was unwise and imprudent, In onr judgment, and our principal seaport has much to regret in advocating a scheme so barren of ac? tual results to this State, for it is evident that the Spartanburg and Asheville Rail? road, with its connections, will never be operated in the interests of our commer? cial metropolis. Hence, we are glad to perceive that the News and Courier, at least, is awakened to the "true policy" for South Carolina, which is to make the Western connection with an extended line of railroads "owned by persons whose interests are identical and identi? fied with those of South Carolina and Charleston." Freed from its embarrass? ments, and under new and brighter aus? pices, we believe the Blue Ridge Railroad and its connections offer this desirable opening to our frieuds on the seaboard, and we shall be delighted to learn that the movement in Tennessee and North Carolina meets with encouragement from that quarter. The Georgia Insurrection. Our neighbors across the Savannah River have been greatly excited during the past week over a reported insurrec? tion among the negroes in Washington, Jefferson and Burke counties. Confes? sions have been made to the effect that nineteen counties of Georgia were em? braced in the plans of the insurrectionists. The discovery of the plot was made ten or twelve days ago by finding a letter from one of the leading negroes at a place in Washington county where the negroes are in the habit of drilling at night. The writer commanded that all the whites were to be massacred on Fri? day last, 20th inst. As the day approach? ed, the white people within the region described became alarmed at the pros? pect, and the authorities were invoked to preserve the peace, and arrest the offen? ders, who were arming and drilling in small numbers at different points. The affair created intense excitement through? out Georgia, and prompt action was taken by Gov. Smith to maintain the peace and prevent bloodshed. Under his authority, a sufficient military force was congregated to uphold the civil au? thorities in making arrests and suppress? ing disorder. He promptly advised the whites to bo calm, moderate and thought? ful in word and action, and under his admirable direction the whole affair has been brought to a peaceful termination. About one hundred negroes are now under arrest, and at least twenty-fire of them are ring-leaders, who will be held for trial at an extra term of the Superior Court this week. Several of the prison? ers have made confessions, and all agree in the nature and extent of the proposed insurrection, which was concocted by a Gen. Morris, colored, who was to be assisted by Gen. Prince Rivers, in this State. Rivers has printed a card deny? ing all knowledge of the affair, but the testimony points strongly to his guilt. He is expressly named in the confessions as the head-centre, with Morris as second iu command. This villainous scheme originated with the Union League, which is being reorganized in the Southern States for desperate purposes. The Geor? gians are to be commended for modera? tion and forbearance under these exaspe? rating circumstances, where there wits a foul conspiracy to murder all the whites, except the handsomest women, who were to be used for vile purposes. Gov. Smith deserves credit for his noble conduct and manly counsel. The Marion Merchant and Furnier says ? at cotton picking will soon begin in that coun? ty, the rust having greatly accelerated the maturity of the cotton. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Anderson Board of Trade. Anderson, S. G, Aug. 21, 1875. At a meeting of the merchants of An? derson held this day the following pream? ble and resolutious were adopted: Whereas, We, the merchants and cotton buyers of Anderson, believing that wc have the right to select the Cot? ton Weigher for this Town, did this day meet for said selection of Cotton Weigher, with the following result and proceedings: This organization shall be known by the name of the "Anderson Board of Trade," composed of the following firms, represented in this meeting by members.designated: Bell, Prevost & Cunningham?by E.

The meeting was called to order by tho election of John B. Watson as Chairman and J. Baylis Lewis Secretary. The committee on scales, consisting of A. R. Broyles, D. S. Maxwell and James Wilson, reported that they conferred with Col. Thos. Dodamcad, the Superin tendant of the Greenville & Columbia Railroad, and he expressed himself in a very courteous way, saying that if neces? sary he would erect two pairs of scales on the depot platform for the purpose of weighing cotton, and that until those scales are erected tho cotton buyers may use the scales now in the depot The report was accepted. Upon motion of Mr. Towers, the meet? ing then went into eloction for Cotton Weigher to serve the ensuing cotton year, which resulted in the unanimous choice of Mr. Joseph B. McGce. Upon motion, Mr. Bleckley was ap? pointed as a committee of one to draw up a bond for one thousand dollars, with oath of office attached, for the faithful performance of duties; said bond to be made payable to the TowR Council of Anderson for uso of the corporation of said Town ; and also a contract speci? fying the amount of compensation the Weigher is to receive, and also the time for which he is to serve. The following resolution was then adopted: Resolved, That the compensation for weighing cotton shall be five cents per bale, to be paid by the buyer. It was then moved and adopted that Dan'l. Brown, Jas. W'ilson and W. F. Barr be appointed as a committee to con? fer with Col. Dodamead in reference to the erection of scales as before mentioned for the use of the Board of Trade, and ask him to act as soon as convenient. It was moved that when we adjourn we should adjourn to meet at 9 o'clock a. m. on Wednesday next, 25th inst, in rooms over the store of Bleckley, Br wn & Co., for the purpose of perfecting the organization of this Association, by the election of officers, etc. Motion carried. On motion, the Secretary was reques? ted to forward a copy of these proceed? ings to the Anderson Intelligencer for publication. JOHN B. WATSON, Chm'n. J. Bayijh Lewis, Secretary. Personal and General. Wc are a temperance man, but we've had enough water in ours for awhile. The Chicago Tribune is very proud of its last triumph. It helped to keep Jeff Davis from invading the State of Illinois ! Gov. Chamberlain addressed the Union League in Columbia the other night. He is getting ready for the next campaign.

Another Letter from Mr. Davis. The objections made by the Grand Army of the Republic to Mr. Davis ad? dressing the citizens of Illinois upon agri? cultural topics has resulted in a letter of determination from Mr. Davis, in which he deals a heavy blow to the political agitators ofthat organization by unfold? ing the purport of what he wished to say in the proposed address. His action in the matter will not be regarded captious or capricious, and his graceful letter will satisfy the people of Illinois that it is their loss in not having so capable and instructive a speaker to advance views promotive of the common interest. The New York Herald regards this letter as frank and manly, and that it will do much good, especially in the North. The letter is as follows: Memphis, Tenn., August 15, 1875. Henry 1\ Khnbafl, Secretary of the Win nebago County Agricultural Society, Rockford, III. Dear Sir?I yesterday sent to you a telegram announcing my revocation of my conditional acceptance of the invita? tion to address your association at their annual meeting in September next. The long period which has elapsed since the receipt of your first letter and the con? siderate courtesy which has marked your correspondence, make it my duty to the Board and to myself that sufficient ex? planation should be given of this change of purpose. Three objects mainly in? duced me to accept the invitation: First?The hope that personal inter? course might remove some of the preju? dices which had been generated by parti? san faction and nurtured by individual and sectional hate. Anxious as in former years to promote the interest of our great valley of the Mississippi, and believing that with mutual confidence and cointelligence much could be done for their advancement, I only delayed my acceptance of your invitation until it became reasonably probable that it could be met. The productive capacity of the Northwest needs for its development cheaper and safer transportation to the markets of the Southwest and also to those of foreign countries. In England especially earnest attention has been di? rected for several years past to more direct and economical trade with the Mississippi Valley. In this connection there was a desire to confer with the Patrons of Husbandry in your rich and prosperous section, to discuss with them questions involved in securing better means of transporting your farm products to the most favorable markets, and of providing agencies which should insure larger returns to freemen, and by such conference to learn the views of one member of the family of the Mississippi Valley, a family the chief interest of all members of which is agriculture, but cul? tivators of such various crops as to make trade among themselves extensive and lucrative, while it stamps upon each and all the same interests and the same policy as to their foreign trade. To render such conference effectual there must needs be a disposition to attend to the subject under consideration, surely not to pur? pose to smother it by the interposition of matters having no just relation to it. Second?An effort was made to rccog nize the courtesy of vour Board, and I j was encouraged to believe that your re? ception of me would be beneficial rather than injurious to your association. This was the more supposable because several other agricultural societies in Illinois had in like manner invited me to address their annual meetings. Yesterday I re? ceived a printed paper, it being a protest of a number of your fellow-countrymen against the action of your Board in their invitation to me to make the annual ad? dress at the county meeting; thereupon I sent to you a telegram withdrawing my acceptance of the invitation, under the conviction that it would not be useful or agreeable to participate in the meeting, and I hope that neither your association nor the directors will suffer harm by the delay in procuring an orator or by the correspondence which has caused it. Third?The object was to gratify a wish long entertained to see in its culti? vated dress the country known to me as a trackless wilderness. But that being merely a personal gratification it may be indulged at my convenience or postponed indefinitely. I can well believe that the cause which has changed my purpose was as unforeseen by you as by me, and you may be assured that I feel no dissat? isfaction toward the directors or yourself and have suffered no personal embarrass? ment from the event, as the invitation was unexpected and only acceptable a* an expression of general good will. So my only regret is the loss of opportunity to promote the public interest with which the welfare of your communitv is identi? fied. Again expressing the hope that neither the directors nor yourself may sutler injury or annoyance, and thanking you for the kindness and consideration you have manifested, I am respectfully yours, Jefferson Davis. Louisville Medical College. We have received a letter from the executive committee of the Louisville (Ky.) Medical College, requesting the publication of the following card, which is a generous proposition to young men of slender means who are anxious to re receive a thorough medical etlueation. This system of beneficiary scholarships in medical schools was originated and developed by the Trustees of the Louis ville Medical College, and every year the fact is extensively advertised that young men who are unable to pay for their ed? ucation are entitled to receive its benefits upon application. Any young man who is desirous of attending this College for the next session would do well to consult the editors of this journal, who will take pleasure in furnishing other information to the applicant We annex tho card to which reference is made: The Trustees of the Louisville Medical College (Louisville, Ky.) have, in accord? ance with the provisions of their charter, established a Beneficiary System, whereby any young man studying medicine and being unable to pay for his education, may receive a Beneficiary Scholarship, which relieves him of payment of the Professors' fees. The public will be pleased to learn that this well known College has abolished all fees for its di? plomas; the Faculty being thus wholly Uninterested pecuniarily in the result of all examinations for graduation. For particulars, address Dean of Louisville Medical College, 163 Second Street, Louisville, Ky.

Grange Pic Nie at Bowland Green. On Saturday the 14th inst., we had the pleasure of attending a .pic nie at Bowland Green, situated a few miles from William? ston, on the Anderson road. Having been requested to report the results of the gather? ing to the Anderson IntcU'njcncer, we will endeavor to do so in as brief a manner as possible. Three other gentlemen besides oursclf ar? rived at Bowland Green about ten o'clock, and found a considerable crowd assembled, some looking as though they had come with the expectation of hearing some bod}' speak, while others seemed to be dreaming in wakefulness of the many good things roll? ing in from every part of the surrounding country. However, about eleven o'clock those who were so anxious to "hear some body speak" were relieved by an excellent address delivered by Dr. H. I. Epting. It was short, pithy and interesting, and, as such speeches always do, commanded the strictest attention of the bearers. The ex? ordium of the discourse was delivered in a quiet, gentle, but earnest manner, and seemed at once to conciliate the minds of the audience. The want of space will not allow us to enter into full details of the speech, but wc will simply say it was timely and to the point, and that the Doctor left many of us believing him to be quite as much at home speech-making as when standing by the bedside of a patient. In other words, wherever you find the Doctor, you strike "the right man in the right place." Ho is certainly a working Granger, and deserves the respect and admiration of all persons who desire to see their country once more in a prosperous condition. His labors have not been in vain, for not only the inhabitants of his own county and State read and appreciate his speeches, but distin? guished Grangers in Florida and Ohio ap? prove them, and request the Doctor to press forward with unrelenting boldness in the noble cause. To be candid in our remarks, we might say that the peroration of his address would have been more interesting and agreeable had he not forgotten the po? etry he intended to add to its beauty. It is hard for a speaker to forget what he wishes to quote, and have to iutersperse with some of his own production, and that two-thirds prose. After the Doctor had made his old fashioned school-boy bow, his speech was complimented by several, while one brother Granger standing near, wishing to compli? ment the speaker most highly, said, in a tone scarcely audible, "Golly, boys, Eps is no bug-eater, nohow!" Several calls were made for Dr. Moore, who, after quietly laying aside his pipe, arose and, after making a few appropriate remarks, wished Bowland Green Grange much success. Mr. J. B. Hogers was next called for. The call was not at all expected by him, as such had not before been the case on pic nie occasions, but, notwithstand? ing, he considered it better to try, and "flunk," than to back right Square out. Beginning with Adam in the Garden of Eden, he endeavored to show that since his fall there has been no real happiness, except that bought 1)}' "the sweat of the brow." He told the farmers to beware of profes? sional men ; "especially," said he, "of those men licensed to kill people?with all due respect to my friends who have just spoken." He was by this time considerably wanned up, and, with two claps of his hands, brought the little boys from the hushes like cattle from a bottom about to he inundated. Indeed, with hats oft', mouths open ami cars erect, they looked as if they firmly believed Demosthenes had arisen from the dead, and having joined the Grangers, was about to revolutionize the world. Having spoken a short while, the speaker found a convenient stopping place, and deemed it prudent to close. Extempore speakers, you know, have to watch for a stopping place, and not go too high, lest they fall and by the fall nun the whole. Premiums were then awarded to those who deserved them, Mr. E. M. Slopes get? ting the one for the Hnest water-melon. Fearing the appearance of rain, wc left for Williamstoii. Those of our party who re? mained reported a sumptuous dinner?a most attractive feature on such occasions. Good luck and a long life to Bowland Green Grange! SELACSKXILC.
