Unveiling of the Stonewall Jackson j
Statue. I
The ceremonies connected with the!
unveiling of Jackson's statue, a work
of art contributed by English admirers
of the great Virginia chieftain, came off
on the 27th ult., in the Capitol Square!
at Richmond, and were of the mostim-|
posing character. j
I Decorations of every description were j
to be seen in every direction, embracing
I evergreens, in every conceivable shape,
festoon ings of the national colors, appropriate
inscriptions, banners and flags
of many nations, the federal and English
colors predominating. At an early
hour the principal streets began to
present an animated appearance, the
crowds augmenting steadily until the
procession moved, by which time the
sidewalks along the route of march
were crowded with surging masses, and
every available place wherea view could
be had was filled with eager spectators.
The procession occupied one hour and a
half in passing a given point, moving

rapidly, uiiq wits vi (* & wUV
city military', infantry and artillery,
visiting companies frojn Norfolk, Pe-?
tersburg, Charloltsville, Staunton, Williamsburg
and North Carolina, the

of the agricultural and mechanical college
at Blacksburg, Va., surviving
members of many commands of the late
war, including those of the famous
Stonewall brigade, the Catholic societies
of Richmond, the students of Richmond
college, singing societies, &c.,
besides a long cortege of carriages and
other vehicles, containing many distinguished
individuals.
General Joseph E. Johnson was marshal
of the day; the prayer was made
by Bishop Boggett, of the Methodist
church ; the introductory address by
Gov. Kemper; and the oration by Rev.
M. B. Koge, of the Presbyterian
church. '
The oration was frequently interrupted
by enthusiastic applause. As the
last words of the orator died away the
veiling of the monnment was withdrawn,
and, amid the thundering cheers
of the multitude, the firing of muskdtry
and the booming of cannon, the bronze

We arc glad to see that an earnest ef.
fort i? being made to revive this enterprise,
as indicated in the mass meeting
which Was to have been held on yesterday
at Walhalla. It is an enterprise in
which the whole of Western Carolina
is especially interested, as it proposes to
open up a great highway at our door,
and place in our immediate reach the
rich products of the great West. It has
been long a cherished project of Carolina
statesmen, and modern enterprise
and capital, we trust, will soon make it
an accomplished fact. The Pickens
Courier makes an earnest plea in its behalf.
It says
"The completion of this road is only j
i the wisdom of man availing itself of]
I the advantages of a great thoroughfare!
distinctly marked out by the God of
nature. Before the discovery and utili-j
zation ol steam as a motive power the j
Rabun Gap was the great wagon pass- j
way East and West for the traveling
and trading public. We have never
been at the gap, but have understood
that tiie nassage across tiie mountains
scarcely deserves the name 01 a 11111,1
and that it can be accomplished by acut
of a few feet. When we consider the
population and products of the two sections
which this road would unite, we
can only wonder that the enterprise of
man should not have long ago com
pleted it. South Carolina from the
mountains to the seaboard needs the
products of Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio
and the great West, while they need
jour staples. For years this exchange
I has been effected by a travel and transj
pollution of more than double the required
distance by the Blue Ridge j
IKoad. This increases freight, andis'ai

the industries of both sections. If our
Statn could to-day foot up the saving in
freights and the increased profits in
trade to its people, which the Iilue
! Ridge Road would have effected if coinjpleted
thirty years ago, the sum would
amaze them, and would doubtless he
i found far more than sufficient to coini
plete and stock the road. The benefits
. to flow from its completion will be at
once felt by every class ill the State, in
reducing freights and lowering the price

interested directly than Anderson and
the Counties below, for the Air-Line
Road, running near us and through our
County, furnishes to our people a fore|
laste of the benefits of a short and more
I direct connection with the West. We
think Anderson, Abbeville, Newberry,
Richland and other Counties accessible
by branch railways, which annually
l buy Western provisions, might all eon!
tribute to this road and save money blithe
investment. Charleston, above nil
[other places, should be alive to the road,
for not only as the metropolis of the
State, and as a shipping port, will she
be benefited, but its completion will,
with her aid, be 11 living monument of
the providenee and public spirit of her
people. The enterprise was originally
greatly indebted to Charleston for aid
and encouragement, and we hope to see
the city by the sea again pluming herself
for a wider field of trade in advancing
this her once cherished enterprise.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
On Mouday last, the lstinst., the most ,
important elections of the year came
oft* in about one half of the States of
the Union, including Pennsylvania, J
Massachusetts, Maryland, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and New York ; all of whom >
except Minnesota, were Democratic at
the last general election, and all of whom j
elect Governors except New York, (
where the chief office to be filled is Sec|
retary of State. <
In Pennsylvania, Judge Cyrus L. 1
Pershing is the Democratic candidate (
for Governor, Governor Hartranft, the i
Republican candidate for re-election, (
anu 11. A. Browne, the temperance can- ;
didate. Last year Lieutenant-Governor j
jLatta, Democrat, was elected by 4,G79 i
majority, the temperance party, then as

field, Benjamin Bush Bradford, who i
got 4,632 votes. (
The Massachusetts election is also for (
Governor, that ollicial being chosen an- j
nually. William Gaston, the present i
Governor, who is the candidate of the <
Democrats for re-election, was chosen
last year by 7,452 majority over Thomas ;
Talbot, Republican. Mr. Talbot, who <
had been Governor for an unexpired ;
term, was a strict temperance advocate, 1
and was opposed by the entire liquor
interest, their opposition not being
made against the balance of the Republican
State ticket, which was chosen by
majorities ranging from 12,000 to nearly
23,000. This year the Republican can- i
didate for Governor is Alexander H. <
iRice, of Boston, and the Labor Re- I
formers ancf Temperance party have i
also placed tickets in the field, so that !
the Massachusetts voters will have four
candidates to choose from. <
For many years past, in Maryland,
fV.n riomnnrntu hnvp nnifnrmlv carried i
j the elections, their majority at the last
General Suite election, that of 1873,
when a State Comptroller was chosen,
having been 19,'J83. This year the
'Democratic candidate for Governor is i
John Lee Carroll, who was nominated
by the Democratic Convention after a b'iiter
contest. Accusations of corrup- !
tion were made against his supporters,
who were also charged with not con- <
ducting the affairs of the State government
as they ought, and the party
divided, a faction, the strength of i
which is not very clearly estimated, <
forming a coalition with the Republicans,
and nominating J. Morrison Har- i
ris as the Democratic Reform and
Republican candidate. .The chances i
favor the election of Carroll.
As to New York, the Democrats elected
Governor Til den last year by 50,317
majority.' This year the candidates for
Secretary of State, the chief officer to
be voted for, are John Bigelow, Democrat,
and Frederick W. Seward, Republican.
Much of the interest in the
New York election is just now absorbed 1
in the contest in New York city for the 1
local offices, where the various parties
oppose to Tammany Ha'.l have united J
upon a ticket in opposition to the one
put in the field by that organization.
Tn Minnptjnfn fhn Rmmhiicanselected 1
Chief Justice AlcMillan last year by '
9,885 majority, aud Governor Davis, in :
1873, by 5,519 majority. There is a Gov
ernor to be chosen this year. In Wis- 1
cousin, in 1873, the Democrats and Lib- '
eral Republicans were seccesst'ul over '
the Regular Republicans, and elected !
Governor Taylor by 15,412 majority, aud 1
a Governor is also to be choseu this (
year.
The above six States furnish the most 1
important of the November elections, '
and will afford some data from which to (
prognosticate the ballot of 1S76. j

The School Book Commission. ? We
are glad to see that the commission, (
after appointing a committee to make an (
investigation of the charges agaiustoue j
of their number, Mr. Robertson, of t
having made corrupt proposals to lead- t
ing booksellers, adopted the following t
resolution, which will doubtless have
the effect of preventing any immediate
change of text books, and thus avoiding
the expense and inconvenience of so
rad i cal a i n eas u re: - i
Whereas it appears by many evidences <
that any enforced change at the present 1
time in the school books of the State ]
will be attended by hardship to a large '
proportion of the scholars of the State; '
and whereas the necessity of such '
change is doubted by many friends of '
our schools; therefore, <
Rcaolvcd, That the action of this com- <
mission, taken on the 30th day of Sep- 1
tember, 1S75, whereby a list of school j
books was adopted by this commission
ana prescribed for use in all our schools,
be, and the same is hereby, reconsider- ]
cd, and the said list of books shall be i
reported by this commission, with such
changes as may bo hereafter made in
said list, to the General Assembly at its (
next session as the recommendatson of ,
this commission, in case the General
Assembly shall, upon full consideration, j
decide that an immediate change of ;
school books is necossary or expedient. (
The Georgia State Fair and <
House Racing.?Gen. A. H. Colquitt, f
the President of the Georgia Agricultu- 1
ral Society, in an interview with an 1
Atlanta reporter, stoutly defends the i
tlinlafn Valfflf 1
\/i vi>v A M?. ? ?
in excluding horse racing and all gatnb- 1
ling appendages usual at those exhibi- (
tions; and makes the point that the
purees and the consequent expenses of
horse racing have much to do with the
financial failures of these agricultural
fairs. The late Fair was a financial
success, and in this respect had the ad- j
vantages over preceding exhibitions
where the attendance was greater. He ]
thinks that the success of the late exhi- *
bition justifies the policy pursued, and
that the same policy will characterize .
1 he management of the coming Fair in
Atlanta. Success will add a feather to :
his cap.
The Bonanza Rill.?Comptroller i
General Dunn in response to the rule t
requiring him to show cause why a c
mandamus should not issue against '
him to enforce action under the above i
named bill, makes answer through At- ]
torney-General Melton, denying first s
that the act was properly parsed and 1
enacted ; and second, urging that it is t
unconstitutional and vaid, as impairing (
the obligation of the State to the people, c
that there should be no increase of the i
public debt except in accordance with j
the provisions of the constitution.
The bill is generally regarded as a .<
huge swindle, and the action of the t
governor in vetoing it, commended it- ]
self to the favorable consideration of all J
good citizens. The courts will doubt- e
less sustain his action in the premises. >
The Southern Cultivator.?This ,
old and reliable menu 01 me mriuui
pursues the even tenor of its way, striving
earnestly and honestly to assist him
during these hard and trying times. It
advocates progress only when it pays. 1
there is nothing of the fancy or sensa- t
tional about it. Solid, practical, sug- (
gestive, it is just what real working f

month, to be answered by the editor or j

Application having been made to Govor
Chamberlain for the pardon or commutation
of sentence of Dublin J.

conspiracy to defraud the County of

pay-certificate, he makes a published
statement giving the grounds of his re- fii

to have been supported by the evidence, ed
and that there is nothing irt the case to hi
call for the Executive interposition, m
He, however, concedes this much to the se
efforts which have been made in behalf ifc
jf the prisoners: w
"Eleven of the jurors who rendered tii
the verdict in those case,s, together with w

grant thie request, and as I see no rea- di

The Two Campaigns. -- The Kew er
York Sun holds that there is no similarty
between the Ohio and Pennsylvania so
iampaigns, and a Democratic defeat in
;he former affords no reason to antici- [e
pate a like result in the latter. In Ohio
ihere were no State issues. No fault
was' found with Governor Allen's administration.
Hence it was easy to
force into the field a quarrel over the
jurrencv and the Catholics. But in q(
Pennsylvania there are Slate issues of 0f
transcendent importance, which equal e,
if they do not surpass those in New
York." And quite unlike those in New
York, it is the Republicans alone who J")(
ire the robbers to be exposed and pun- ^

STative born teachers, known and tried, 011

3 THE EXHIBITORS AT TH

The Fair has passed, with all its ea
tements, its joys and its disappoinl
ents. Though every exhibitor nia
rpecta premium, yet be knows ths
rery one can not obtain one, and whe
ie arbitrament is left in the hands c
impetentand disinterested judges ai
Lould cheerfully acquiesce in the resul
id resolve to try again. It is not t
akc money that we exhibit the article
' our handy-work and the production
' our farms, but to proxiiote the genert
iterests of the farming community. J
, besides, a social annual re-union c
ie white weople of the County, wher
d acquaintances are revived, and ne\
formed and lovincr attachment
infracted. We trust therefore that e\
y farmer, and the ladies particularly
whom the success of the late Fair i
i much indebted wili at once begi
eparations to make the next Fair bel
r than any ever yet held.
A committee was appointed by th
iciety to fake charge ?f any articles ex
ibited at the Fair or that may be cor
ibuted, and have them put on exhibi

rriumbia to compete for the premiui:

Country Newspapers.
Publihhe:^ of country newspapers con
antly complain of want of patronage
ie complaint may have some founda
?? u..*- n/vmtilolnf nf tlm non
J11) UUU auubuu tuuipiuiuv Vi V?4V
e that the country newspapers ari
nerally poor is quite as true as tin
l.er Couutry newspaper people rareh
iderstand the wants of their patrons
country newspaper is published fo;
cal patronage. Horace Greely coulc
>t have published a weekly newspapei
Whittletown that would have hac
ur hundred thousand readers; but h(
iblislied one in New York which hac
at number of readers. The point is
is: a newspaper should meet thi
lints of the people who are expected t<
stain it. A local newspaper is not exited
to be a journal |of the world's
ents ; but it ought to be a journal o
e locality where it is printed. That il
ght to contain an epitome of th<
?'ek'& news, every one knows, but nc
e looks for tho world's commercial rerts,
but all expect to have the pric<
rrentof its locality.
Now, pick up your country paper and
3 what therE is in it of local interest,
le people of the locality patronize il
r its local interests; bnt in place of lo1
items, the editor, as a rule, sayj
out this: "Jieiore going to press, wt
irted out on the lookout for a local
;m, but narry one could we find."
An editor who would write that oughl
he tried by the press association for
gh crimes and misdemeanors. Items
news are not gotten up that way.
;ery thing should be noted as it o"crs.
For an editor to thank Mrs. Smith for
- * x i
)ecb of tomatoes is an ouen.se 10 goou
stej Not that Mr. S. ought not to be
anked, but the public have no interi
iu private donations to the editor,
it to say that Mrs. Smith has raised
e tomatoes, and tell their sizo and
a word as to their modo of culture, is
ws, provided they are in fact tine,
[t gives the people of a community
>re interest in a paper which notices
matters of local concern than it does
say that the sultan has fifty wives.
tt is not at all uncommon for a supericourt
to be held in a country, and the
al paper never mention it," and for
i most imporatnt cases to be tried and
} fact never appear.
some simpleton may say that is all
own anyhow. That may be true or
t; but it ia true that tour-flftha of all
). the news in a daily is known before it
appears (bere is meant local news;) yet it
no enterprising daily would have it outjai
and the people look for it there even if e<
they know it, for the editor is supposed k
. to have the correct version of every- fc
> thing.
No editor of sense expects to make a ?
e vilage newspaber of general importance, w
e that being so, labor to give it the most "
local interest. ^ "
~ A brilliar^ French woman once said,
" "Oh, liberty, how many wrongs T
f. have been committed in thy name! ?
^ And I say, oh, "we," tbe roy- y

t_ sense is perpetrated in thy name!?"Ar- d

' CONFLICT OF LAWS. # it
f b
t Stock Have a Greater Liberty Than J
>f the Owner, *_
u ? t!
i- UJider what is known as the fence law
in this State, stock of all kinds is fenced
i- out, while crop of all kiuds is fenced in. e
s Cattle and all other kinds of domestic A
it animals roam at large, and graze at their
d own will and pleasure upon all unen- n
i- closed land3. And they do so lawfnlly. j
a Their going upon other lands besides
il those of their owners is no trespass,
d This is the direct resultof the fence law,
Is which is to fence out the stock, and
i- fence in the crop. The only way a man
>f can prevent the cattle of his neighbor
3- from grazngupon his lands is to fence "
in his lands. This all seemsto do well
I enough. But there is another law
g which makes a peculiar conflict with
)f this and we call public attention to it,
n so that the members of the Legislature, I
i- whose business it is to look after the ing
terest and rights of the people, may pron
vide a remedy. In 186G astatute was en)
acted which provides that "every entry 1
1- unon the enclosed or unenclosed lauds I
r. of another, after notice from the owner o
n or tenant prohibiting the same, shall be g
n a misdemeanor , and punishable at the d
r- discretion of the court." ]
is Now we will suppose a case. A and r,
n B are neighbors. A's cattle and other r
r. stock have a right to graze on the uneni\
closed lands of B, and they do so. B
t. may have become unfriendly to A, and
d be finds A on Ilia land hunting up his
r- cows, horaes, or otber stock, and he 1
y gives him notice not to enter upon his >
r- lands again. A,s cattle have a right, d
d notice or no notice, to go on B,s laud,
a but A has not after notice, under the
y penalty of fine aud imprisonment. Af3
ter notice not to enter, A goes on B's
d land to hunt up his hogs, sheep or cows,
o and B indicts him, and be is subjected 9
*8 to a heavy punishment. Is this not a Jd
singular contiict in the law ? The truth J
s, is, they dou't fit each other. One or the !:
rt other oucrbt to be repealed. Either re- 1
it quire alTpersons to fence in their stock;
1- or so modify the act of 1866 as that owners
shall have as much right as their
il stock?so that if cattle or other animals
e go upon the lands of another, the owner
>r of them ehalhhave the right of entry for
i- the purpose of gotting them back.?

His Speakership.?The flew York
Herald arrives at the following conclusions
after a careful review of the industrious
but quiet personal canvass that is
going on beneath the surface of politics ?
g for the speakership:
Judging from present indications the
real choice wl-1 lie betwean Mr. Kerr
and Mr. Randall, with a preponderance
of chances in favor of Mr. Kerr. Mr.
[. Wood and Mr. Cox weaken each other 1
y by being from the same state. Neither
?*ni lui hv tha iirmnimouft
It "*'? "J
n democratic delegation from his own
,f state?and advantage possessed both by
II Mr. Kerr and Mr. Randall. It is for the
It iutereat of Governer Tilden that the i
0 honor be conferred on New York, since J
,s it would be an impediment to taking 'j
8 the presidential candidate from this c]
i'j state. Governor Tilden's friends desire c
t that the speakership be given to the a
,f west, and now that Mr. 8ayler is out of j
e tho question their influence will be giv- a
v en to Mr. Kerr. But, quite apart from
9 Governor Tilden's wishes ana ispirar_
tions, Mr. Kerr's election to the speakr
ership would be for the advantage of the
a party. Whether Govarnor Tilden shall be n
H nominated for the presidency or uot, the 1.'
reform issue is the only one on which the I
democratic party can win, and the sin- 3
e serity of its devotion to reform would be
. attested by electiug as speaker a man
J. whose houesty is as little open to quesi.
tion as that of Governor Tilden himself.
,i There is no better practical method of
n eommitting the party to reform than by
,t conferring thefirst national honor se- "
y curely in its guilt on' Michael C. Kerr, jjjj
e .
?
0 Gov. Hendricks on the Situar
tion.?Governor Hendricks, of Imli!<
ana, who was the chosen speaker of the
0 Democracy in the late Ohio campaign,
0 and whose name is now one of the most
j prominent as a Democratic candidate "
a for the Presidency, has been interview- ij
rt ed, and gives his opinion fully as to the ri
1 late campaign, and other matters of in- n
a terest. He thinks the defeat in Ohio
u was chiefly owing to the p9pular
e aversion to an irredeemable currency,
and to Senator Schurz's vigorous came
paign. Morton's "bloody shirt," he
thinks, failed to produce an impression.
The late defeat will doubtless Iwvve its
e effect upon the results in Pennsylvania and
New York, and make the work of
Q. the Democrats more difficult next year.
lf Grant, he thinks, is out of the race as a ~
Republican candidate, though he can P
force a nomination if he ohooses to do
so. The true issue of the next cam- f
paign, he thinke, should be ttye necessi- ni
ty of change to secure purity ill the
administration.
