At the aamo time provision will be made for

tiling of the people.
Horace Greeley.
The enthusiasm with which Mr. Grerley
hae been taken up by the people of the
United States, both Democrats and Repub*
licans, for President, since the nomination
of the Baltimore Coifvenlion, la truly amaz
ing and wonderful. There has been noths
ing like it, since the Harbison campaign of
1840. There was nothing in the character
or antecedents of old General Harrison
calculated to inspire enthusiasm for him
personally. It was the cause, of which he
was the political exponent, that fired the
American heart, North and South, with
rocb teal and energy in the Presidential
-canvass. The financial condition of the
oountty had produced a widespread distress
amongst all classes of persons, com.
mercisl, agricultural and manufacturing.?
tu:. j.* j it.? a -i i. st.:.
that aeofcanai hatred, wbicb baa been fostered T
by Gr*?t ami hi* party to ensure his re elect- th
tion, will no longer exist in tbe United States, ot
and that enmity between the races, now pre- Ti
vailing, will be exterminated. The white men Oi
will once more be reetered to the confidence of th
tbe colored man. And the oolored man will be b<
respected by the white man, and protected in all si<
bis riflrin and liberty. They will hencefor- pi
wird lire together as friends, mutually de- ex
nils ucicruiiuru hi cm iu ? <;iinuge ill meir
rulers. So it is now. Horace Greeley is a
good man, a wise man, a man of dls- ^
tiaguished ability ; but there is nothing in (
his chat Acler or antecedents to inspire enthuainsm.
And oa it was with Harbison,
so it is now with Greeley. It is the cause
of which he has been selected by Republi- (
cans and Democrats, as the standard bear- <
er, that has inspired the American people ?
with such zeal, energy and determination
The people of the United States have be\
come alarmed at the bold and reckless inroads
mads by President Grant on the
rights of the Stales, the constitution and laws
of the Republic, the sacrednoss of human
liberty, and the purity of justice of adminislraliou.
They have seen the President surrounded
by corrupt and incompetent officials,
governing the country as if he were
at the head ol his army, grasping at power,
and the powers of (be national Government,
in the Executive Department They
have become indignant at his tyranny and
usurpations, as they did under the administration
of the elder AuaM9, at the alien .
and sedition laws, which were then pn*sod, (
in violation of the Federal Constitution, and (
in contempt of human liberty. Jefferson (
was then brought forward, to redeem and t
restore the government, as Horvce Greei.et j
has now been, by Liberal Republicans and ,
Democrats. He effected a great civil revoiu- \
tion. restored theconsiitution and ihe purity i
of the Federal Government, as Mr. Greeley fi
will do once more, and thereby again give h
liopo and life to the Republic. R
Judge Orr, in his elaborate and patriotic
speech in Congress, on the Presidential ques- c
tion between Franklin Pierce and General i
Scon, undertook to show the American peo- '
pie the danger to thoir republican form of I
government, in selecting a military chietiain li
for their President. lie exclaimed, "Thank r
Heaven ! We have not yet reached that point
in the decline of our government, when it is *
necessary to elect a military man to adminia- *'
ter the Exccutivo department of the govern- r
racnt." In tho next sentence he says : "Most a
republics have had that experience where they
had traveled far down the road to destruction ! n
and when the time arrives for us to elect
military chieftains to disehargo the functions /
of civil officers, then farewell, a long farewell,
to all our greatness." He then phopbetically
tells tho people : "The second election will
bo made by the army, and tho appointee will 0
be a dictator I" Not satisfied with this proph- C
ecy, he wisely and most truthiully says: "Iu n
this country, civil qualifications aro alone re- r
quired, and however bright a halo of glory
uiay encircle the wreathed brow of the milita- 61
ry office, if he is deficient in a knowledge of ol
civil policy, and is destitute of statesmanship, w
he is nut worthy to rule the people of the United
States, and ought not to be trusted with al
the delicate duties devolved on our ehiof g
magistrates, growing out of our foreign and
domestic relations." These are the words of .j
euun ii u111 auu wiauuifl^ IDQ never WUi) ID61T
Application moro opportune than they are at
present. No friend of General Grakt will sa
pretend to say that he is not " deficient in a a|
knowledge of civil policy, and is destitute of
statesmanship." w
His former friend and great admirer when id
first elected President, Senator Scburs, said w<
the other day, in one of the ablest political in
speeches we bavo ever read, that Grant's "ca* aa
reer as President warrants the conclusion bi
that he has never been able fully to appreei- ot
ate the difference between military command he
and the complete duties and responsibilities of di
civil administration. I doubt whother it has jri
ever becomo quite clear to his mind what the b<
Presidency means, in our system of govern- in
ment!" No wonder, then, that the people of
the United Stateo have become enthusiastic in h?
their effort to get rid of this military chief- lei
lain, who, in the language of Senator Sehurs, R
does not know " what the Presidency means 1" bl
This burst of enthusiasm in favor of Horace at
Greeley, throughout the length and breadth of
the United States, with Democrats and Re- as
publioans, is nothing more nor less than the ta
love of liberty, and the determination to sus- cc
tain Republican principle*.
This great uprising of the Ameriean people
*n flavor of the Cincinnati and Baltimore nominees
has been happily termed by Mr. Sumner v?
as a.movement of " Rkcowciliaviom " between T
the North and the South, and between the m
white and colored races. If Greeley is elects pi
ed President, (and of that there oan be no ti
earthly doubt, from the signs of the times,) si
pendant on each other. Neither eu do well
without the ether. The Southern people will
eaee mere look to the federal Government,
administered hy Mr. Uriilbt, Ml M their
tyrent end oppressor, hut ne their protector
end beaefsotor, dispensing equal juatloe to ell
sections, end ell oleeaee end reoee of mankind.
It will Indeed be en ere of good feeling end
reconstruction, under the administration of
one of the most benerolent of men.
In speaking of Mr. Oiuh.it'1 kindness
and goodness of heart, We take pleasure Id recording
e feet which ooeurred in Greenville,
shortly after the surrender of General Joans
sron. The Her. Mr. Qwm, e Baptist olergys

an account of the raid and robbery for the

ehowa the heart of the man. What a contrast
between this act of charity, and those bloody
expressions of diabolical revenge, ottered by
General U rant's Secretary of the Treasury,
the other day, at the pnblie meeting in North
Carolina. He said the bloody ohasm between
the North and South had yet to be filled with
other carcasses { This man was sent to North
Carolina by General Ghaut, to advocate his
re election to the Presidency! How can a

Death and Burial of Husband and Wlfiot
old Ottisena of Oreenviile?A Bad
Bight* - .
We have a sad sod melancholy duly to
perform this week, in announoiog the death
snd burial of two aged and good people,
who have long lived in Greenville; ond
the discharge of this duty is made more
sorrowful from the (set thnl instead of the
<
aspect attending the usual burial ceremo- ,
lies, two coffins were borne into the Church
t>y stricken friends. ,
Capt. John W. Brooks, and Mrs MaLissa
?. Brooks his wife, died the past week, the j
ormtr on Thursday morning last, and the (
alter on Friday night following. Capt. (
Brooks was in his eighty-fourth year, and
Mrs. Brooks several years his junior. The
ormer had been in delicate health, for several
years, and after visiting his very mueh '
prostrated companion at Williamston where
the had been lying sick for several weeks, j
tie returned, remarking his fears of her nev
?r recovering, died rather suddenly. I
They had been living in Greenville for ,
thirty or lorty years, were institutions of
our place, and hsd been lor a long time the ,
centre and among the controllers of society i
here. Upon the characters of these very
estimable people we could not find space
to pass eulogies, however much deserving,
but to say that they were entitled to the
very high regard in which they stood in the
esteem of our citizens, conveys but a slight
estimation of their worth. The man was

was enterprising, public-snirited and lofty
in his piivste plans ; she Christian-like and
chaiitable, and whilat taking an active
part in the society of the place, was not
forgetful of those who walked in "humbler
spheres. Our place has never loBt two
kinder-hearted or more generous persons.
W? - - 'UCtlCtl in ? rfTaaa
ner that they belonged to the great chain
af hi man nature, and that they felt the tie
that makes all akin.
Capt. Brooks was a native, wo believe, of |
Edgefield County, and resided during his life- |
time here, at his homo, ono milo from the i
[Hourt House. lie roared a largo and respect- ,
iblo family, whom ho .settled off well in life, .
low amongst our principal citisens. His (
arge means in this State and in Alabama
rero much reduced from the results of the j
var; but notwithstanding his age and infirm- j
ty, through his great practical knowledge of
arming, succeeded in maintaining his family
andsomely through means of his farm, riding
round it every day. t
Tho funeral services of both were conduct- j
d in the Baptist Church, on Sabbath evening
ist, by Dr. Jambs C. FunuAX, assisted by r
)r. E. T. Buist, which were attended by a c
argo number of citizens, tho bouse and galle- (
ies being crowded. They were buried in the
ame grave, in tho Publio Cemetery, followed J
hither by many vehicles, and persons,
toth were members of tho Baptist Church,
nd we trust bave gone to that " house not t
lade with hands eternal in the heavens."
L Dwelling Entirely Consumed***The 0
Family Scarcely Escapes.
On last Friday morning, about two or three ^
'clock, the house and residence of Mr. W. H. 0
ammf.it, situated in West Greenville, and
ear the residence of the late Capt. J. W.
iROOKS, was discovered to be on fire, and was ^
itirely consumed. The family, consisting of ^
f Mr. Cammkr, his wifo and child, together
ith bis mother, were sleeping very soundly,
nd the first intimation they bad of their dansr,
the latter^named was awakened by the ''
ght which filled ber room. She arose speed- f<
y, and found at a glance that she barely had ^
me to awaken her son and family, in order to c
ive their lives, as the entire house was ablaze ?
id tbe rooms filled with smoke. While she l<
as getting up, some gentlemon from the res*
ence of Capt. Brooks, hod ran over and
ere proceeding to knock in the door. The ^
mates of the house scarcely bad time to 01
ive themselves from the horrors of being
lrned to death, and were compelled to get
it in their night clothes, the conflagration
ling too far advanced to even pot on their "
ly clothing. Not only the whole building *'
u consumed, but a very smell portion of the
msehold furniture was saved. There was no (
surance.
This is a sad calamity to Mr. Causer, as
i sustains a loss of $1,500 or $2,000, and
Aves him in an almost destitute condition,
e has the sympathy of the community in in
s misfortune, as he is one of our worthy M
id industrious citizens. a,
The origin of the Ore is entirely unknown, m

Gov. Orr's Speech at Pickens. !
Tlie Pickena Sentinel of the 26th instant, <
jives an account of Judge Orr'b remarks *
here, on the 23d. The speaker, after eulo (
jizing Gbant, and bringing his artillery to
bear against Grkbley and Trumbull, open- j
ed upon the Columhia ring, and went for i
Lhem with gloves off. He said the thieves <
lind stolen twelve million dollars, and were
now using their ill-gotten gains to secure
Iheir re-election. A certain individual, by j
name Mosrs, hud sprung up as a reformer,
who, as Bpeakep of the House of Represen ?
latives, had issued #400,000 worth of pay ]
certificates, and most of them went into the i
pockets of persons who had never been in <
Columbia. Scott had paid $100,000 in I
bribing the members of the Legislature to 1
defeat his impeachment, and had drawn the '
money from the State Treasury. When he
was at the North, many influential and '
prominent Republicans had asked him if
ill the charges against the State officials of
Ek?uth Carolina were true, and when he answered
them in the affimative, they said to
him, for God's sake go home and stump <
your State against the thieves, and turn '
lhem out of office, for the official thieves, '
who have plundered and robbed South Car- '
olina and Louisiana, is the heaviest thing '
the Republican parly, in the North, has to '
oarrv, and if something is not done for us in 1
- Vj f MU?* ?IO tv *
overcome it. He earnestly appealed to the '
Republican party in Pickens County to send 1
lelegates to the Convention pledged to the '
lomination of an honest ticket, and said if J
he thieves who control the Stale were not c
urned out of office, it would be a lasting c
hame and disgrace to the Republican par* ^
3'. The Republican party bad b0,000 ma- '
ority, and reformation could take plaee a
nly inside the party. There were 80,000 "
lepuhlican voters in the Slate, the most of 1
shorn were colored, and who were not in ^
erested in anything else but good governlent.
They should only vote for good and 11
onest men ; 3'et they were made to hear ti
he burthen of taxation, tor it mattered not '<
ow taxes were levied, they finally came P
ut of the laborer. Everybody, white and 0
oioreu, uepublicsn and Democrat, waa in- 0

0 THE VOTERS OF fiREfcNVULE COUNTY. 8
Frequently I am asked " What are your .'
oHticaf" I suppose the reason why is j
ecause I have been speaking of being a
andidate for Sheriff I oan answer this
neaiion in a nut shell.
First. I am in favor of a good, honest ^
tate Government, as that ia the most im- t
orlant, and opposed to raaeality and disonesty
in any shape.
Secondly. Good, honest, efficient and ac
mtnodating County Officers, which is of
tore importance locally than who shall be
'resident.
South Carolina, we all know, will go for
Irant for President, and I oan see nothing
ut folly in getting up political excitement
n that point, as Qrant and Greeley's polios
are almost the rsme ; and I can s-e still
isa sense in neighbors and frieDda falling
ut about tha Presidential question, when
very man has a right honestly to mlortain
nd express his political opiniooa. Why
ot differ politically and be Irianda socially I
am not a Grant man ; neither am 1 a glutin
after Greeley. " One is the Devil, and
ie other the Witch." and the question ia,
rhich ia the Devilf Men differ honestly
n this point. I may be mistaken, but I
hink a majority of the bast men in the
outh look upon Grant as the Devi! ; and
reeley?well, they eall him honest Hor*
ee?the Witcb. If he is honest, and " bonify
ia the best polioy," I have no objeotion
> him, if we eaa't do better.

Judge Willnrd announced, in Columbia,
30 the 23d inat., his decision in the case of
the State ex relatione Edwin F. (?ery, audi*
lor, vs Parker and others, State and conn*
Ly treasurers. This is the Blue Ridge sorip
ease. The decision is very lengthy, and
sotirely satisfactory ta the plaintiffs. The
set of Assembly under which the scrip was
ravening the clause of the Constitution of
he United States prohibiting the Slates
roni issuing bills of credit; and live inunction
heretofore granted against the re*
leipt of the scrip for taxes and the issuing
if it sustained, and remains of full force.?
The counsel in the case were Pope and
iaskell for the plaintiffs, Magralh, Melton
nd Chamberlain for the defendants. The
imouot saved the Slate is something over
wo million dollars. The opinion of Judge
Villard concludes as follows: "Considering
he act in its entire aspect, as well as its
slegral parts, it is clear that the I*egisla*
are intended that the scrip shonld eircu*
ste as money, and that for this reason the
irovisions of the net authorizing the issue
f scrip are in conflict with the prohibition
f the Constitution of the United States as
o the emission of bills of credit by State*.
*he act being unconstltmional, it is void.?
!o far as it contemplates the issue of reve*
lue bond scrip it is unimportant, therefore,
0 inquire whether the scrip that was actu?.
1 ly issued wag conforms! le to, and author*
ted by, the act. The injunotion heretofore
tsued must be continued until the final
earing nod determination of the action."
Judge Thomas.?A correspondent of the
Ibester Reporter, writing from Yorkville, on
lie 22d inst., thus alludes to Mr. T.:
' Judge Thomas, in discharging the juries
>r the term, took occasion to mention that it
as the last court he should bold in the Counr;
bis term of office being about shortly to
xpire. In a few feeling remarks he took
isve of the grand jury, and it can be safely
lid that the announcement was received with
niveraal regret. Judge Thomas has made a
rest impression upon the hearts of the peole
of bla Circuit during tha four years of his
?rm of ofica. Elected by the Radieal party,
a baa never shown, in the Judioial office, any
olitieal predilection! whatever, a very rare
irtue in tbeee partisan days. It is fur this
e has been oast off by bis party. Had be
bewn tbo bitter seal of a Logan or Turgee
fudges of North Caroline) he would have
sen unanimously re-eleoted. When martial
iw was determined on at Washington, by the
pamnt asiIasi af ym?a?? ?,4t" "
r- vi uugg luuimi, wnn ma

ime very near being checkmated. When the
cry o( that traneaetion is thoroagbly reunited,
which will be ere long, a rery interestig
case of fraudulent misrepresentation will
? giren to the pablie, and it will be shown
toreorer that Judge Thomas straggled manilly
to the last for the preserration of oiril
berty."
