A verdict of "guilty * was rendered or
elrong circumstantial evidence, that appear
?d to the jury conclusive of his gnilt. Th<
prosecution was cooduoled by the faithfo
and efficiaat Solicitor of Ihia Circuit, Wm
II. Pkbbt, K*q., assisted by the energetic efforts
of Capt. Wm. Easi.^. Tho charge oi
the Judge was characterised by his usua]
clearness and force. The jury deliberated
only ten or fifteen minutes on the case before
returning the verdict of 'guilty."?
ihis was on rrtaay. Un Saturday morning
Mr. Fast moved before the Judge tor
new trial, and supported Lie motion by an
argument unlvereally spoken of aa very
able, and highly creditable to Ida leaf and
profeasionnl talents. The motion was reaieted
by the Solicitor and Capt. Earl* ?
Judge Our, after bearing the arguments
pro and eon, adjourned the Court at dinner
time, withholding his decision till the af*
terooon session ; he then, in an elaborate
review of the case, announced his decision
against (he motion for a new trial, acd proceeded
to pronounce the final sentence of
the l.*w. ,
The stnlcnce of Judge Orr, in the case
of A.vdrlw IIiu., wis taken down by that
distinguished stenographer and literary
gentleman, F O. DeFostaine, now on a visit
to Greenville, and at cur request written
out for the F.n(trpri?e. Vt'e present it entire
to our readers. It is not often that we
" country cditois " have (lie benefit of such
favors.
Tlio sentences in the various cases are at
follows:
Andrew Hill, for the murder of Capt
lloltzclnw?to be hung on Friday, (he 28th
October next.
Young Harrison, colored, burglary?one
year in the penitei tiary.
George Garrett, colorol, burglary?five
years in th? penitentiary.
Johnston Wright, petty larceny?four
months imprisonment in jail.
Franklin Fierce, colored boy, lareeny?
two months in jail.
l'eler Johnson, small colored boy, larce'
ny?two days in jail.
Taylor Karle, patty larceny?four months
in jail.
The W ar in Europe.
As yet the end has not come. The Prussians
are near Paris. Wo hope the city will
not be foolbh enough to stand a siege, and
thus insnre its own destruction. The
French declared war against Prussia without
cause, and they ought to be willing to
make peace on the favorable terms that
Prussia is -aid to require. If the result of
the war is to lid the French of a despotic
government, they will be the gniners, even
although they may lose two or three fortresses,
and a small slice of territory.
There is no change of circumstances
worth mentioning since last week. The
other European powers refuse to interfere,
and seem disposed to leave the French and
Prussians to settle their own quarrel. It
remains to be seen whether Paris will stand
n siege; we hope not, as only evil can grow
out of it. No great battle has taken place
since the surrender of McMabon's army.
South Carolina Presbytery.
The 1'rMbjlery of South Carolina will
meet in the Washington Street Presbyterian
Church, in this City, on Thursday 29th
inet., nt H o'clock, P. M. The meeting
will very likely hold for four or five days>
thus affording a season of religious services
for our citizens, who are cordially invited
to ntteiid.
This body is a reneiable one, and em
braces among its divines and laity some of
the most distinguished men of the Church
and Stale.
The following Committee of Arrangements
was appointed by the Church in this
place on Sunday last, to provtde lor the entertainment
of thehody: T. C Gowca, L,
B. Clinc, Jambs McPukrson, James Picnic,
John C. Bailky.
Editorial.
In tlie nominations of the Reform party
for Andeison County, it gives us much
pleasmo to observe that our friend and
brother of the quill, Jamka A. JIott, Ksq.,
of the luttHigtncrr, has received the nomination
for Senator of the next General As*
eembly. We eorgratulate him on hia pop*
ulaiity in the County, and have no doubt
of the rseult of the election in October
next, and the people of Anderson will nev
er have reason to regret having cast their
votes for him.
United States conrt at Oresnvtlta.
Judge Brtan adjourned the Conrt lilt
Friday, after an arduous session. His Honor
has, with his usual ability, discharged
with impartiality and fairness the high and
responsible duties of his position. It is a
matter of congratulation to the people of
this State to have a pure and npright Judge
of the United States Court to preside in the
trial of the causes aflocling the rights of
paitivr, aod the interests of the Govern^
incnt.
We learn that his Honor has taken a trip
over into North Carolina, and hope he will
be refreshed by bis brief holiday from the
labors of his office.

" J. 1. H." on the Election Bill?The
Commissioners of Eleotioa, Ac.
We call attention to the forcible article of
'' J. B. II," in our columns. We hope that It
will be re-published by all the papers in the
State, and that the abuses which tbe writer
points out, as intended by this law, passed at
the last session of the legislature, may be
guarded against. Those who voted for sorb a
law, do not deserve the support of the people
of any party. The writer, "J. B. II.," was
a Republican member of the last Legislature,
and speaks bis honest sentiments. Dare any
one defend this Election Act? Again we
say, let the people understand this outrageous
law, and we venture to assert they will utterly
condemn its authors and abettors. We are
sorry that the Legislature passed it, and do
not sec how Governor Ecorr can justify his
approval of it.
Good Templarc.
We state for the information of thore

Those desirous of promoting morality and
sobriety, by the formation of lodges, will
receive all information, and any aid io his
power, by addressing the gentleman named
at Charleston, where a lodge will aoon be
organized.

JVfMrt. JCiiffor??r Mo by a fwrtrt numb
of /Mr paper, that Gor. R. K. Scott ho* a
pointed th* Commlaaionor* of Election,
! provided fbr in that iohnoai Eloot ion B
that woo paaeed at the loot nation of tbo Lcj
ulature, for tho pnrpoto of perpetuating pvi
or, and contrallxiog a moot infamoua and co
ropt ring in South Carolina. Never in tli
hiitory of our Government, baa there ev<
been each a glaring attempt at fraud an
hold, defiant interference with th* right* an
lihartiea of the people, tj th* proviaiona t
thia hill, th* Anaachia* la Itttriil/ restricted I
three men in eaeh County, or to 91 rotor* i
the State. The ballot (a placed at tho dlap<
aal of th* Com Bias Ion era, and ten day* ai
allowed for them to count, or manipulate, 4
reject, or decrraer, or lacreaa* th* rote*, Jw
*? their fhacle* or whima may indue* lb* re.
No aafeguard in tbe bill ia made to protec
tbo oitiaen* agaioit any or all of theae fraud
that may he perpetrated. Do you atk for th
proof that fraud and corruption will he prar
ticed la the comiag election? Every intelli
gent man, who will read the hill, will aea a
one* that no other motlra eonld hare prompt
ed the ptmp of inch a law.
Section 3 pro*idea that the Governor thai
appoint thrae Commissioners of Election fn

point three managera of election for each pci
einct in the County.
Section IS ieaa foil owe: The Commieaione
of Election (ball provide one box for enc
election preeinet, and an opening ahnll I
made in the lid of inch box not larger tba
ahalt he sufficient for a aingle ballot to he ii
aerted therein atone time, throngh which ea<
ballot proper to he placed in each box, aha
he ineerted by the perron voting, and no othe
Each box aball be provided with a autficiei
lock, and ahall be locked before the openii
of the pelle, and the 4-eya retniutti by I
Commissioners, and ahall not be opened durii
the election. Such Korea ahall be labeled
follows ; Congress, State, Circuit, and Coun
Officers.
Section 15 ia as follows: At the close
the election, and within three days after tl
j diy thereof, the Chairman of the Board
Manager*, or one of them, who may he appoir
| ed hy the Board, fhail deliver to the Coi
I miss loners of Election the poll-lilt and box
containing the ballots.
Section *18. The Commissioners iball th<
proceed to count the rotei of tbe County, ai
hall make luch itatementi thereof as tl
nature of the election iball require, within
dayi of tbe time of their flnt meeting as
Board of County Canvasser*.
Those four Sections are sufficient to she
cone lniirely, that all power is centered in t
Commissioners of Election, and the ma
agers are not to count or touch tbe ballots.
Now if all the Commissioners of Electi
should be honest and honorable men, and d
charge the duties?giving to all men justi
and their rights, nocoraplaint would or shou
| be made ; but in this age of l-ribcry and e?
rnption, can we expect such a state of affair
And when it i* generally known, that if hone
and honorable men have been appointed, ?1
will conduct the election with fairness, tb
it has been done through a mistake, and th
it was not the intention of tbs Ring to hat
them appointed, what can we expect ? Is
not evident that the election will be a far
and a humbug ?
The question is natnral: Why was tho Di
passed by a Republican Legislature, when
so materially interferes with tbe right of uni
crsal suffrage, and the equal rights of s
men before tbe law ? Can any honest Itepul
lican, who has contended for those righ
throughout tbe political storm of 1888, reui?i
silent; wbea, by one fell stroke, all tbst w
have contended for, and fancied was secure, i
made a farce and a humbug; and inslaad of i
Republican Government, we bava an oligar
eby with a centralisation of power in a cor
rupt ring? It was passed because of tbe leg
islation that was known to be odious to tb
people. Such as tba Bank Bill, tha Gold Bill
the Blnking Fond Bill, tbe Phosphate Bill, th
Fee Bill; and tbe most infamous of all, th
Coda, with tha swindling and hnmbnggin:

Sentence of The I'rimoncr by IIi? Honor Judye
' Orr.
As i>n?W Hn.i: You have been tried and
11 convicted by a Jury of your conntrymcn of the
<r tanrdcr of Capt. Thomas A. lloltxcluw, and tho
- painful duty ia now devolved upon mo of pitss>
ing tho sentence of death?the extreme penalty
of the law.
rs Y'our trial baa been fair and the inrcstiga>b
lion full and searching. You were heard iu
your own defence upon tho witness slnnd, and
in gave such testimony as you desired to offer.
"* Y'on were defended by couusol who mode tho
^ most strenous efforts in your bchulf; whoclicited
all the facts possible which would bear fa*
r. rorably upon yourense: and presented tbcm
nl to the jury in their nrgument* with real, power
and eloquence, urging your innocence. It
** it therefore no lault of your counsel, and no
lack oi fairness in your triul which has led to
** your conviction. The result is dno to lhu
overwhelming testimony adduced Against you
uu the part of the State.
There is a just God who overrules us nil
and when you went out in the dead hours ol
the night for the purpose of taking the life ol
that poor tnnn, because of some dilTcrenr,
n* about a tew locks of cotton, you must have felt,
ei if any conscience lingered in yon, you wcto
about to commit n crime which sooner or latct
en would he followed by the Divine wrath. That
hour has come. Yoa bare been apprehended,
tried, found guilty, and will soon yield up
your life as a penalty .to the outraged laws ol
* God and man.
In the investigation of crime, certain rules
are laid down for the guidance of judges, ju<
ries and lawyers, and in accordance with these
rules, your conviction has bccu reached, and
according to my understanding of the tcstimo#
ny, properly reached.
It was a cruel thing, Andrew Ilill, your gold
out '-hot night, secreting yonrself by the
lr_ road side, waiting for y^ur victim in the shad,
> ow of that tree until bo should appear, and
,?t then striking bint down, all unarmod and un>
I,,, suspecting as he was, and at tho very side of
at the wife of bis bosom.
at You doubtlcas suppoaod that the deed could
re be consummated, and suspicion would never
it he attached to you ; or if suspicion did attach?
re no human eve looking nm>n vnnr eriinr vm.
would go unwhipped of justice. It is usually
ill the ?m however, that when great offences are
it committed by even the moat experienced and
i- hardened of criminal*, they leave behind some
dl trace, perhaps over ao inafgnilleanf, which bel>
ing followed, lead* to detection and puniab*
ta ment. It ha a ao happened bare. You blun*
n dered over that manure pile and left the track*
e of your olJ alioea, to point out licyon <1 controa
versy your presence on that occasion. You
a hud the opportunity to show that they were
not worn by yourself; or that aoine one else
may have nsed them for the pnrpose , hut you
have failed to satisfy the jury on this moat via
tal point, and ao lat punishment be meted out
to the guilty man. It cannot be assumed for
a moment that if it were iu your power to
? make aueb a diecloeare >*>u would not do so
K rather than auflW an ignominious death. The
? only eonoluaion at which the court can arrive,
therefore, ia that you, Andrew llill, did take
i- the life of Capt. Thomas A. Iloltxclaw, and
' without giving him a moment of preparation
e for the awful chan gs, sent him hurriedly into
)* the presence of his Maker.
" The Uw will not treat yon with the somo
degree of cruelty. The Uw will fire you time
^ to review your past; to prey to yonr UoJ for
'* forgiveness, and to invoke that mercy which
you refused to your victim. You made
" widow of his wife end orphans of bis children.
a You are responsible for a human life which has
been murderously taken ; and the punishment
* that awaits yon, is the expiation you owe to
law and to society.
)r But little time now remains between you
^ and tba Kternity into wbioh you will be bur^
ried. See to it tbalyou improve that lime in
e preparing to meet Him wbose laws you hare
so terribly violated. Do not fatter yourself
wilb hopes of Kxeeutive clemency, and that at
! the last moment, perhaps, you will reeeire the
j glad tidings of a pardon, for if I am any judge
( of,a crime, or the proofs neeessary to establish
j beyond reasonable doubt that you have perpej
trated that crime, your only pardon will come
from that higher power which in response to
j the prayers of a contrite heart may blot oat
the sins yon have committed.
h i* Dwisf ik* few 4iji of yowr life, therefore,
devote them?morning, noou and night?to the
i prepirttiy of your soul for llMiwfhl pretonce
of y^uk Maker, into which you aro so ?ooa to

What Docs Beaton Bayl
The lilrle mongoeare when l>ftf?a I) a deadly
serpent resorts lo certain plant, eala of if, y
and escapes the effect* ol" tbe poison. That is .
itnlliiol. Human Icings on ibe other band, ;
inuet depend on reaaon and cspericne* iff *'
selecting the means of protecting health and j
lifo against unwholesome influences. Now, |
what docs reason say on this rital subject ?
Does it not tell us that to invigorate and pit - 1 ^
rify the system is the best way protect it
against the invisible poison which generates *
disease t Safety it docs. Tbe next question
is, what gtide shall We follow in choosing a'
nedicial safeguard? lte??on iVpffr* let jottri "
monitor he experience. Well, the elprinict '
of eighteen years comprised In one unbroken
series of satisfnrtory testimonials assures ni "
that HOSTETTKK'S STOMACH IfOTT**a &
possess strengthening, rcjAtafJng and antisep- I ''
lie properties which ore not combined in the I
game baj py proportion* in any other prcparation
extant. This, therefore, i* the antidote ' *
to ivhich renson bids ua resort whon our health
i.i imperilled either by the malaria which pro* ' ^
ducea epidemic disorders, or by any other
cause, whether inherent and constitutional, or e
connected with our habits, ocrapationr and
pursuits.
The venom of a lioktodl rrhtile is scarcely
more subtle and dangerous than that which a
lurks in foul air and impure water. To escape r
the fevers, bilioua diaordera, disturbances of f
the bowels, and other serioua maladies produced
by these insalubrious elements, it'ia absolutely
necessary that the stomach and all
the secretive organs should he, so to speak, in |
a robust condition. Upon tho amount of re- |
sistunce which the vital system can oppose to
the deleterious influences thai assail it, the
safety of the health depends ; and it is because
the great vkortabi.k i.*vi?ora*t imparts en- j
ergy aud regularity to the most important f
functions of the body, that it ran ba reenm- ?
mended and guaranteed as an invaluable preventive
medicine. 141-1 m
