District Court at Greenville, j district Attorney Earle brought to ! the attention of Judge Bryan, the i fyte ftct^f .Congress, requiring, as J a,qualification of jurors, that they 1 sbQU-ld-be able to read and write; j npd t?e Presiding Judge delivered j ^s(Of>inion at length, urging the ' necessity of such a law, and fully j sustaining the wisdojn <?f its pro- , ' visions. The juror,j, he said, was i on irwlonomlfMif inrloro. nnon whom r .V'^t J7-8-' -r-- J the law imposed certain duties j cp^pled w,i^i certain privileges, j Any juror could prevent a .trial or ( ceuviction i,n any civil or criminal j case, .and it was all important that 1 . lie should have the intelligence to l . . pas? .upon tire matters which should 1 -come before him. lie should be , ftble to read the note or bond, of < * 1 1 whose genuineness he was called upon to judge, aud not be forced to de- , pend .upon his neighbor, to arrive I at ^is conclusions. The object of' the law was to do equal justice to : the,citizen, and this'could only be ! done tfiro.ug'h the agency of an intelKgent jury ; aud the first step to this .requirement was the provision Uiat.they should be able to read and write. The law was based jpontequal .rights, and required the >erformance of equal duties. It tppljed to all, Republicans and .V .democrats, white and colored, Americans and foreigners, and the Judge expressed the hope, that his ""brethren, without distinction as to color or caste, would look upon ?c ?

Th.o effect, they urge, will be to subordinate all other questions to that of race, and that this - wnct nrcindichil. esoeeiallv to the , . -J , interests of the colored race. Harper's Jfitk/y advocates the bill and insists upon its passage, on the ground that it is necessary to secure to the eolorcd race all of its guaranteed i ; ? rights; but its arguments aro well met b}- the following letter which it publishes from a Georgia Republican statesman "I am not n.waro thai history records the fact of two races living 1 *' t- U: I., ond rwnsnpi'niislv togeinur uiiu ??j, upon terms of perfect equality, for any very long time. If the Supplementary Civil Jlights Bill becomes a law, the public common school system L?f Georgia, as well as most of the Southern States, will be abandoned, n mj opinion. Ijl is immaterial what the sentiment of opposition may be . ailed, whether prejudice, fanaticism, aristocracy, or whatever; it exists, ind it cannot be ovcrcomo during the present generation. The opposition s stronger among the poor whites, ind that cjass embraces most of the Republicans, than among the rich, ivho can educate their own children. No law so odious as this can be en breed among a people so hostile to t. Massachusetts was perhaps more aw-abidirig than the Southern States, ind the Fugitive Slave Law could not ae enforced there without producing iots and bloodshed. My judgment s that thero is .but little to bo gained >y the colored man by the passage of ,he law, and ho will lose infinitely by t. 2so man can bo sustained in the Southern States who approves it, cx-j ;ept by the colored voters, and the jtrong tendency of such a state of ihings must be to produce a party 33sod exclusively od race?a result greatly to bo deplored by both, but moro especially by tho colored man. [ think that tho bill will defeat one if not two of the Hepublican members >f Congress from this State this Fall. Ihe whites can't approve it, and tho blacks can't succeed without whites to lead, and if somo can bo found to lead, they will lead colored men 3nly." Wo in South Carolina have long iincc parsed this stage in tho process af Reconstruction, and can afford to laugh at the fears of our friends. We defy Congress to worst us much, and uavc been so long demoralized ny tnc heavy artillery of State legislation, that we have littlo to fear from the fusilade of Congressional enactments. What caro wc fur a Federal Oivil Rights Bill when wo Lave a more odious one upon our own Statute Book. The Piedmont Factory. ? The editor of tho A. R. Presbyterian has recently visited this new cotton factory, which is beiug erected on the Saluda llivcr, in the lower part of Grconvillo County, about one-half mile above tho crossing of the G. & C. II. R., and speaks thus of tho en terpriso:? "Col. It. P. Hamractt, of Grccnvillo. is the President of the Company, and is devoting his whole time to the supervision of the work. About 100 hands arc now at work on the building. It is expected that it will be finished by the first of January, 1875. Two or three months will be required to putin the machinery and get tho mill into running order. The plan of the building and tho selection of the machinery, &c., has been committed to Messrs. Loekwood & Need, of Providence, H. I., tho best mill architects, it is said, in America, and they promise that tho Piedmont shall be the best factory in the South, and as good as auy in the world. It is to run 250 looms. A number of cur citizens arc taking stock in the Piedmont, and feel a special interest in it." Baptist Association at Helton.?

Tlio invitations were cordially responded to} and a large attendance showed the public appreciation of the efforts which had been made for their gratification. Capt. \Y. K.j Bradley called tlie mooting to order, and announced that Dr. Bonner would open the meeting with prayer. After an appropriate prayer by Dr. 13., the Captain made a few remarks Buita- : ble to the occasion. Earnest and practical addresses were dclivccd by Prof. Hood of Erskinc College, and 1 Col.

Tiie Grangers throughout tho ]State soorn to bo having a good time in social pic-nics and barbecues, and our exchanges are filled with notices 1 of their festivities. Our people need some occasion for the cxercise of- the national habit of public speaking, and as politics furnish at present but a barren field, tho Granges very opportunely open up a number of congenial topics upon which they liko to talk and bo talked to.

A correspondent of the Augusta Chroniple and Sentinel, writing from r* K C { v i 1 ^ *r Ciesar's Head, gives an interesting ucc.ou/it.of tfro efforts #rc being made in upper South Caroliha, to supply the visaing link in the com nection with the great West by building a road from Asbevillc, N. C., to Laurens, by way of (frecnville; and shows in the event of its completion, the immediate and direct interest of Augusta in building the road to Greenwood and extending it to Lau e'cns. A Jarge portion ot tno roaa beyond Asihevillo has been completed and a part of it in operation; and the Into meeting at Ilender.sonville, promises the best results. The survey of Major Grccno calls for but one tunnel and three bridges on the route of wixty-six miles which separates Grceovillc and Ashcvillc, and for the construction of the road, ninety-eight miles in length, including tho thirty-two miles to Laurens, there has been raised $725,000. The plan proposed is to complete the grading and bridges by subscription, and then mortgage the road for tho superstructure. Tho correspondent says: "Augusta has an immediate and direct interest in this connection. The building of a road from our city to Greenwood and Its extension from that nlnon t/i T.nnrons?n. distance of but a few miles?would give us a road penetrating the heart of the bast region of South and North Carolina, and affording a short and rapid liue to the Western metropolis. The products of the Northwest Would seek Augusta by this route [is affording a central point of storage and distribution?a place whose climate would allow the housing of produce in bulk, and whose position as the initial point of three lines of railway leading to the coast would give to skippers the choice of three ports and markets?

Ldgefield, Abbeville and Laurens are three of the wealthiest counties of South Carolina, and raise annually immense quantities of cotton. Laurens and Abbeville and Greenville all did business with Augusta before the completion of the Greenwood and Columbia Railroad ?with the building of the new line this lost trade would be recovered. Greenville before the war made little cotton. But the use of phosphates hits revolutionized farming here, and I am reliably Informed that 12,000 bales are shipped annually from the city of Greenville alone. Almost inexhaustible quantities Df grain and country produce generally are raised in the rich bottoms and fertile valleys of Buncombe and Henderson, and the corn, which now, without a market, finds its way to the mountain still, would come over the new road to A .in*iin4n Ka nvnK?vi\i>n/l fnp U/ UC VAViiUUgv.\t <W4 dise. From what 1 have seen the people living between Greenwood and our city are thoroughly in earnest in their efforts to secure a railway, and are able as well as willing to give a liberal assistance to the enterprise. They have continued to work in tho face of the most discouraging circumstances. Another reason which should prompt us to come to their support is found in the fact that by assisting the Greenwood line we will also tiid the Hartwell enterprise. A trunk line to Fury's Ferry, or the poiut which may be selected for crossing the Savannah river, can be used by both companies, while there would bebutone cost."
