ited from the Jtepiibdcan could be ban? died from oar land. That no such letter ? as written by a Democrat from Green - ill'.! is too evident to be doubted by any ?erson, for if any such feeling existed my sane man would have more policy hari to express it, and every fair-minded :itiz ea of the Union knows that the peo S pie of South Carolina are to-day as true rand loyal to the Union as the people of 'any American State. Every sensible mac knows also that there is not the slightest intention to resist the United States authorities in the case of the Ladd murderers, except by regular process in the courts, and that the ultimate and binding decision is to be had from the Supreme Court of the United States. CONTEMPT OF COURT. It was one of the sources of pride to our dd judiciary that cases of rules for contempt of court were very rarely nec? essary in South Carolina for the protec? tion of the dignity or the character of our Circuit Judges, but since reconstruc? tion our people have grown so familiar with this once extraordinary remedy that we do not exaggerate when we say that it has fallen into, disrepute, and is itself viewed with contempt We had hoped that with the restoration of our judiciary this proceeding would lapse into its an? cient disuse, and no longer appear upon our Court dockets as a tacit endorsement of its frequent use by Judges like Car? penter, who felt they were continually an object of universal contempt, and were constantly snapping and snarling at every person they could imagine had offered them any indignity, cither actual or constructive, bat it seems from the recent case of Mr. Harvey Terry, of the Columbia bar, that this hope is not to be fully realized, for a time at least Mr. Terry had a case before Judge Shaw in Columbia some time ago, in which he failed to succeed, on account of lAich he published in the Charlotte Observer an article criticizing the Judge and at? torneys, and reflecting upon the action of each. For this publication he was ruled for contempt, and the case heard by Judge Aldrich, who found Mr. Terry guilty of contempt, and fined him five hundred dollars. This reminds us strongly of the action of Judge Carpenter in ruling the editor of the True Southron for some publication about him, except that, perhaps Judge Carpenter had a more reasonable case than tie one of which we speak. Mr Terry's offense was not in the presence of the Court, and was not in disobedience of its orders, and therefore was not s contempt within the decisions of oar State before the war. We comment upon this case, not because of any sym? pathy on our part for Mr. Terry, for we have none, and do not doubt that he has acted very improperly, but there is a principle underlying the ease which is of too much importance to pass over. It involves the very liberty of the press, for it establishes the precedent that if an editor or a correspondent criticises a Cir? cuit Judge he can be arraigned upon a rule for contempt, and punished at the pleasure of the Judge he has offended, so that it' pat into full practice no man will dare criticise the Judges, and they will become a favored class, whose acts cannot be held up in their true character, unless it is good, through the press for public Bcratiny. Such a result would prove fatal to the very existence of our free institutions, and create in the judi? ciary an arbitrary tribunal, whose pro? ceedings cannot be mentioned except to praise. We do not believe such a deci? sion is good law, or that it is good policy. The law has provided that for libellous publications the author and circulator can be punished, and this should be the remedy for our Judges to pursue. If an article is not libellous the Court should be too dignified to notice the publication, and if it is libellous the remedy is ample, withoutrtakingup these novel and arbitrary measures which Re? publicans had the privilege of introdu? cing into our judiciary. It is bad policy to encourage any such proceeding, be? cause it is a blow at the independence of the press, without which liberty herself cannot live. It is to the advantage of society, of government and of morality that the liberty of the press should not be abridged, either as to its editors nor its correspondents, except so far as it is controlled by the law of libel. Free criticism, so long as it does not amount to a crime, ought not to be denied, and whenever it goes to the extent of o crime, as libel, then it ought to be met by a regular indictment In the case of Mr. Terry the publication was made in North Carolina, out of the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Sichland in this State, and if it be an offense, it was first com \mittcd in North Carolina, and only by the papers being mailed into this State could there be the merest pretext even of jurisdiction, and if any crime has been committed, an indictment and not a rule is the remedy. A free State cannot per? mit tiie decision made in this case to be? come a precedent, for if so, although our Courts as at present organized would not abuse the power, yet it might return to plague us greatly in the fature. We 'hope the decision of the Supreme Court will strike down this move, the effect of which will be to muzzle the press, so far as Judges are concerned, and if this Court does not do no, then the Legisla? ture should change it as soon as possible. The press of the State has been perfectly quiet upon this case, but we have felt it to be our duty as a journalist to protest against what we deem a decision fraught with error, and possibly immense mis? chief in the future.

We hear of several brandy distilleries in different portions of this County, notwith? standing it is the banner temperance County of the State. The ladiea of the Presbyterian Church will have ice cream for sale on next Friday afternoon at the usual place and hour. Patronize them.

The rains on last Monday and Tuesday were abundant, and very general all over the County. They came just in time to save the crops serious injury from drought. The pic nie of the Fork Rangers, at Brown's Muster Ground, on next Saturday, will be a pleasant affair. A drill and a number of speeches will be the order of the day. Persons desiring to join "The Red Shirts" before their celebration will find their com? pany roll at the store ot Lieut. Richards, in Pendleton, where they can subscribe their names. Anderson County is well represented at the Summer Session of the State Agricultu? ral and Mechanical Society and Grange, which convened at Spartoaburg on Tues? day last. We are requested to announce that Capt J. L. Biryan's Company will meet on next Saturdty, at 3 o'clock p. xn., at the Grange pic nie, for th e purpose of attending to im? portant business. The Episcopal rectory, now in process of erection by Mr. A. W. Todd, will be a neat and convenient building when completed. -It is situated immediately in the rear of the Church, and faces southward. The partial eclipse of the moon on last Monday evening, beginning at 6:51 and ending at 8:45, was invisible at this place on account of the heavy clouds. The moon rose in eclipse, and at 7:17 was half ob? scured. The Temperance Standard, of William? ston, S. C, has been purchased by Dr. H. L Epting and Maj. G. W. Anderson, who propose to make it an interesting and in? structive temperance journal. We wish them great success in journalism. The contract for making brick for the new Presbyterian Church has been let to Mr. Jeptha F. Wilson, who is vigorously poshing the work forward. The building committee of the Church hope to complete their work during the present year. The latest journalistic venture is the Seneca City Advertiser, which is ably con? ducted in its first issue by Mr. J. H. Car? lisle, whom we welcome into the editorial fraternity. The Advertiser is a neatly print? ed paper, and bids fair to be a success. Judge T. H. Cooke has announced him* self a candidate before the primary election of Greenville County for nomination on the Democratic ticket for the Legislature, and pledges himself, in case of defeat, to abide by and support the nominee of the party. We are requested to announce that East Savannah Democratic Club will meet at Mr. William Jones' house on next Satur? day, at 2 o'clock p. nu, for the purpose of attending to important business, among which will be the suggestion of candidates for the primary election. Messrs. L. P. Smith and B. Frank Maul din have been elected deacons of the Ander? son Baptist Church, and will be ordained on next Sunday morning in the Baptist Church. The presbytery for ordination will consist of Revs. W. H. Strickland, B. F. Mauldin and J. S. Murray. A white man by the name of Louis Dick erson, living in the upper part of this County, near the Saluda River, was bully cut with an axe, on the night of the 8th inst., by his step-son, Idom Farmer. Dick erson was beating his wife, and Farmer in terferred to protect his mother, with the above result. The community sustains Farmer. Col. James A. Hoyt, the able editer of the Columbia Register, is spending this month with his family in Anderson, and his man}' friends and admirers here enjoy the opportunity of meeting him in our midst again, even if it is for a short time. It seems natural to see the Colonel in An? derson, and we would be pleased to have his Btay here permanent. A severe storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by a very light shower of rain, passed through Pendleton on Sunday last. A large tree in the grove near Mr. J. F. Green's house was shivertd by the lightning. The rod on Mr. J. B. Sitton's house was strack, and at Mr. R. E Sloan's, on the road to "Fort Hill," a yearling was killed while standing under a tree. A petition, signed by a large number of our citizens and business men, will be pre? sented to the Town Couneil in the course of a few days, asking them to purchase and place in the steeple of the Court House a town clock, with four dial plates and strik? ing apparatus, the same not to cost more than $350, and to be procured when a suffi? cient amount of money is in the Treasury. We are glad to see this step taken, and hope the Council will be able to grant the re? quest when made. It will be a valuable addition to the town. Dr. J. K. Wilson, of Ben Lomond. Ark., says: "I have been in the practice of medi? cine for 28 years; I contracted a severe and troublesome cough, which lasted for 18 years; for which I used many preparations, with no relief: at last I tried Dr. Harter'b Lcko Balm which entirely cured me." 5?2 Da.

Tbe election for Intendant and Wardens of the town of Anderson came oft" on last Monday, and, although it was conducted under the special feature of our charter, which allows cumulative voting, tbe entire Democratic ticket was elected. The regis? tration of electors stood?whites 174, and colored 118; so that if the political parties had divided on the race line, the Democrats and Republicans could each have elected two Wardens. The Democrats, however, put in the field a full ticket for Intendant and four Wardens, and the Republicans ran no Intendant and three Wardens. A rallying committee was appointed by the Democratic party, and by skillful and per? sistent effort the Republicans were utterly routed. The vote for the Democratic nom? inees stood: Foe Intendant : G. F. Tolly.235 votes. Fob Waldens : W. S. Ligon.216 votes E.F.Murrah........215 " J.F.Wilson.210 " J. C. Whitefleld.210 " The vote for the Republican candidates stood: Fob Wardens: Green D. Williams.85 votes Moses Lee.?74 " Moses Cherry.57 " Moses Terry.1 " A large number of colored men voted tbe Democratic tickst in whole or in part, and the election shows what the Democratic party can do by well organized and active effort, and we hope the success in the town election will afford a stimulus to the De? mocracy of the County to follow in the work of overwhelming Radicalism at the polls. The town Republicans are com? pletely rum plutscd at the result, and do not see how they have been so badly beaten. They have as a party met their Waterloo, and cannot again be rallied. They will, we hope, begin to realize that if they wish to be on tbe winning side in politics, they will have to vote the Democratic ticket for State, County and Municipal officers. Rad? icalism is dead, and can rise no more while the Democrats remain united. The new Council will be sworn in the latK. part of this or the first of next week. SALUDA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. The Saluda Association met with the Flat Rock Church, in this County, on last Thurs? day, and continued in session until Saturday evening. The meeting was a very large and interesting one, all the churches, except one or two, being represented. The business was transacted expeditiously and with marked unanimity, considering the important meas? ures adopted. From the report of the Treas? urer of the Executive Board it appears that this Association raised a larger amount of money during the past year for benevolent objects than any*preceding year. The time of the meeting of this body was changed from Thursday to Tuesday before the second Lord's Day in August, which will hereafter do away with the Sabbath meetings. The Church at Flat Rock and citizens of the community deserve great credit for the ample provision made for the accommoda? tion of the delegates and visitors, and the cordial reception with which they were greeted. The attendance during the entire session was large, and on Sundry a very large congregation assembled. Tho Mission? ary Sermon was preached by Rev. A. W. Lsmar at 11 o'clock a. m., and the stand was occupied in the afternoon by Rev. J. S. Murray. The Association adjourned to meet next year with the Mt. Bethel Church. THE BSD SHIRTS' ANNIVERSARY. The colebratlon of the Becond anniversary of the formation of" Pendleton Red Shirt Company on the ?>. ,st. will, without the occurrence of some unforeseen misfortune, be a very grand affair, in the number of at? tendants and in the degree of interest man? ifested in it. There will be a larger gather? ing of mounted men present than has as? sembled in this County since tho memora? ble campaign of 1876, and Governor Hamp? ton's presence and speech will of Itself de? serve and secure a very large attendance of both ladies and gentlemen. The accommo? dations in the way of seats and so forth will be ample, and every thing that can be made to contribute to the comfort and pleasure of those attending will be arranged. Pendle ton never does things by halves, and every person may rest assured that the coming occasion will be most successful and memo? rable. Trains will no doubt be run from below and above, carrying those wishing to attend at one fore for the round trip. BONDHOLDERS' MEETING. A meeting of the Bondholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company was held in the Court House on last Mon? day, in which Col. F. E. Harrison was called to the chair, and Dr. W. H. Nardin requested to act as Secretary. The bonds represented amounted to $175,500. A reso? lution was adopted requesting tbe bond? holders to be represented either in person or by proxy at the meeting to be held in Co? lombia on the 20th inst., and also to unite with other bondholders in seen ring the ap? pointment of some Southern man as Re? ceiver. It is gratifying to note the improvement that is going on in and around Anderson, all of which is of a substantial character. Besides the new dwellings that are now be? ing built, and the old ones that are under? going repairs, several more are to be erected this fall and winter. These are evidences of a revival in the business of our town, and of the firm basis on which this business is established, that carries conviction to the minds of those who may have doubted in the past Anderson's ability to sustain and promote her growth. We will regain during the approaching business season the remainder of our lost patronage. THE BED SHIRT ANNIVERSARY. Mb. Editor: The follow.lnjr gentlemen have been appointed by the "Red Shirts" and Pendleton Club as a committee to so? licit baskets for the picnic.

CLUB MEETINGS. Honen Path. ITone.v Path, S. C, August 3, 1878. The Democratic Club at this place met to-day with Dr. T. A. Hudgens presiding. The President read a letter from Hon. J. L.

James L. Orr to decline the nomination ten? dered him by this Club.
