Oar honored extemporary of the heart of the Piedmont region, the Keowee Courier, published at Wal halla, has entered upon its thirty sixth year. Its course and career have ever been noble. The ADVER TISER greets it with feelings of warm est friendship. For Presenting False, Fictitious and Fraudulent Accounts. The United States Court, Judge Bond presiding, is now in session in Columbia. And this time, instead of trying white Democrats upon trump ed-up charges and before .suborned juries, its chief business will be to arraign ex-Chief Marshal Blythe, of the Republican party, and some eigh teen or twenty of his Republican deputies, for presenting "false, ficti tious and fraudulent accounts." The penalty in this matter is imprisonment for from one to five years, or fine from $1,000 to $5,000. Of course every mother's son of them is pro foundly guilty. Bile and Slander, bnt Pleasant to Read. * ? This week we publish Blaine's late famous speech in full. It is concen trated bile and slander, but, to us, pleasant reading. Pleasant, because we like to see the shrieking dema gogue and disloyal knave writhe in his agony. It may Ve evidence of an uncircumcised heart-an unchristian temper-but in this matter we are like George Washington in regard to the mutilated cherry tree. We can not tell a lie. For six mouths to come we shall revel in delight at see ing the pamrul writhings and hearing the bitter groans of thousands of just such fellows as Blaine. Truly God has them on the hip ! _-tr^r^?m^l- ^ Meeting of County Agricultural Society. Our County Agricultural and Me chanical Society held an interesting meeting on Monday last. The Hon. W. S. Alien was elected Chairman. The matter of the profits of farming in Edgefield County, was commented upon very intelligently by A. J. Nor ris, Esq., several gentlemen following him briefly in the discussion. The discussion of this same subject will be resumed at the next meeting-on salesday in January. The advisability of certain changes in the Constitution was, referred to eration, . "~~ The members present paid in thei initiation or entrance fee, $2.00; ani the Secretary was instructed to wan all absent signers of the roll that thei money is now due. Organization and Preliminar] Work of tbe Legislature. AU the old officers in either Hons have been re-elected. As yet, how ever, the work of the session has bee: only preliminary. Thanksgiving da; was a recess in both Houses, wb.il the Senate had also a vacation fron Saturday noon until Tuesday HOOD The body is composed very largel; of new members. Two of the moe prominent members since 1876 ar missing this winter : Johnstone, o Newberry, and Murray, of Anderson They both* ran for Congress, and bot] lost the prize. Their absence will b felt, inasmuch as they are both ver' strong men. Col. John C. Haskel succeeds Mr. Johnstone as Chairma; of the Ways and Means Committee On the 10thinst,SenatorHamptoi will be unanimously re elected Unit ed States Senator from the 4th c March next. Chief Justice Simpsoi will also most probably be re-eleotei to preside over the Supreme Court Judge Kershaw will be>his own sue c essor in the Fifth Judicial Dis trie I These will be the only elections c importance. The Governor's Message-a ver cheerful and, cheering paper-wis? excellent and minute-waa Bent ii and read on Wednesday. On Friday the Senate attended o: the House, and the returns receive from the Secretary of State wer opened by Speaker Simone, who wa re-elected on the first day of the see sion, and who, at the dose, formal! declared Hugh S. Thompson and Joh C. Sheppard as, respectively, Govern or and Lieutenant-Governor of th State, they having received the high est number of votes cast at the rec et electio?. They will be inaugurate ? one day this week/ Bills have been introduced propot ing an increase in the judiciary-tw more Judges; to abolish the office c Trial Justice, or else very muc abridge the power of that officer; t repeal the lieu law; to reduce taxes to regulate the traffic in seed cotton to dispense with two of our Railroa Commissioners and have only one. Col. Folk, of the Edgefield deleg? tion, has introduced two or three billi one of them to incorporate the At gusta and Edgefield Narrow-Gang Railroad Company. In the three great matters of th revision of the tax laws, the increae of the judiciary, and the repeal c the lieu law, we hope our Edgefiel members will be prompt, watchfr and wise. At this early stage of the aessior. it cannot be said whether the Legi; lat ure will adjourn sine die just be fore Christmas, or whether it take a recese for the holidays and re assemble soon -thereafter. Collector or Internal Revenq* for Sooth Carolina. Io the distribotioo of the Federal offices io Sooth Carolina, Edgefield County is undoubtedly entitled to some consideration at the hands of the new admioietratioo. No county io the State has done more for the success of the cause of good govern? ment than she has, and no man has borne a more unselfish part io the straggle than oar hooored and patri otic fellow citizen, Capt. J. Hampden Brooks; and he is the gentleman Edgefield would like to see made Collector of Internal Revenue for Sooth Carolina. He is peculiarly .fitted for the position, and his ap pointment would be nothing more than a slight recognition of his ser vices to the Democratic party and the State. H?B friends propose to present his name at the proper time for this position ; and we very earnestly hope he will receive the appointment. We Hail the Gallant Richmond Hassars ! In Masonic Hall, Augusta, OD Mon day night last, was opened a grand Fair in behalf of the gallant Rich* mond Hassars-to enable these noble fellows to porchase a new uniform a uniform which will befit their bigh record of the past, and their proud career io the new era DOW dawning opon the Sooth. This Fair, tendered by the ladies of Aogogta, will coo? tinue io progress, if we mistake' not, until New Year-perhaps longer. AB regards its magnitude, management and style, it will be the most splendid bazaar ever seen io Augusta. Between this and the holidays, hundreds of Edgefield people will visit Augusta. Let them all drop io at this grand Fair and leave their mite io behalf of the uniforming "of the Richmond Hussars. If they should be io search of holiday pres ents, thia Fair will be the place par excellence, to fiod the very prettiest. And if they seek refreshments or sappers, here again will be their most advantageous rendezvous. We are aozioos that Edgefield should bear the Hassars high io her love. And, apropos, what a fine thing it would be for these Richmond Hussars and oar OWD Hassars and Rangers to form a battalion aod attend the inauguration of Cleveland 1 Aod for ns to be the reporter of the expedition! Wings develop from oar well-worn shoulder blades as we indulge the idea Important to School Officers and Teachers?

SPARTANBURG, November 29 .-The electioD for license or oo license wac held here to-day. The interest wac deep and intense. Both parties put forth the most strenuous efforts. The resolt was : No license, 336 ; license 332. Prohibition majority 4. The wet party talk of contesting the elec tion on the grounds that student: were allowed to vote. All is nove qoiet. W. J. GREENVILLE, November 29.-The election was held here to-day OE "License" or "No License." The election passed off without disturb ance and resulted in a victory for the wet men by a majority of 161. The total vote was much smaller than that cast at the similar election held e year ago, a decrease of nearly half resulting from the fact that the vo tera were required to have been pre noualy registered. The license party worked hard and woo its victory by pressing in an unusually large negri vote. All qoiet to-night. T. E. H. Talbert and Bell. COLUMBIA. S. C., November 27. Edgefield and Aiken send two of the new Senators to the Legislators this session, HOD. W. J. Talbert, from Edgefield, and HOD. J. M. Bell, fron Aiken. Both of these gentlemen however, have had valuable legisla tive experience io the House and en ter upon the duties of their oew posi tiona fully qualified for their importan' work.

Macon Telegraph: "Imagineafev colored couples waltzing nt Buch anan's inaugural ball io 1857," sayt the Globe-Democrat. Can't do it Nor cao we imagine them waltzing at Cleveland's in 1885.

None of the^aygpapers appear tt have any^frrtf^to mj jQBt now ?boo ieY " graceful submission to tht of the people." Gen. James U', Moore. From the Hampton Qua:dkm we copy the following account of a gifted and honored South Carolinian now rapidly rising to fame-the present Senator from Hampton County : Gen. Moore was born on the 25th of February, 1S37, at Coosawhatchie, then the county seat of Beaufort Dis trict, South Carolina. He received his primary education at the District Academy, located at Gillisonville, under the tuition of such able in structors as Wm. Currell, Francis W. Fickling and LeRoy F. Youman His collegiate course was taken in the University of Georgia at Athens, from which institution he graduated at the age of nineteen, taking the highest honors and acknowledged the most accomplished and finished schol ar of bis class. In January, 1859, he was admitted to the bar, and soon after began the practice of law copartnership with Francis W. Fick ling at Gillieonviije, then the court house of Beaufort District. He had scarcely got fairly launched in hie profession when the war broke out, and Ee at once laid down the pen for the sword and volunteered for eervice with the Beaufort District Troop of cavalry, of which Troop he was member, and though only a private had shown such thorough acquaint ance with military matters as to be appointed drill master. This Troop went to Virginia as part of, the Hampton Legion, carrying with it the same officers they had at home. The highest . vacancy was lor First Sergeant, and to that position Gen. Moore was appointed. He performed the arduous and difficult duties inci dent to his office to the satisfaction of all, and was elected Lieutenant on the first vacancy. On the same day of his election he was appointed by Gen. M. C. Butler (at that time Ma j jor commanding the cavalry of the Legion) Adjutant; and when the command was raised to a full regi ment under the name of Second South Carolina Cavalry he was made Adju tant of that regiment. Ile was au ac tive participant in all the great battles of Vitginia, Maryland and Pennsyl vania up to the spring of 18C4, when the Second Cavalry was sent back to South Carolina to recruit. He was exceedingly beloved by his regiment; they would do anything for him or follow him anywhere. An instance of their devotion was shown at Up perville : Adjutant Moore having rid den some distance io advance to re connoitre the ground over which a charge was to be made, his horse was killed by the sharp shooters of the enemy and fell on him, crushing bim underneath it. It waB with the great est difficulty that the first squadron could be restrained from rushing for ward in a body to his rescue. Col. Lipscomb sent out a Lieutenant and five men, who succeeded in bringing him off. Again, at Brandy Station while in advance of the command, he became engaged, single handed, in an encounter with six United States dra goonj. His horse was killed under him and himself desperately Rroqnded. A small detachment of his regiment peeing his danger rushed to his aid and brought him from the field. From this wound he never fuliy recovered, his bridle hand being entirely useless ! in service afterwards, but he was back i in the saddle in six weeks and re mained there to the close of the war. When the war was over Gen. Moore ?esumed the practice ol law, has had large and lucrative practice, aud gcJbc^y nnm ni i met saga* lu? "?? the leading lawyer ol the Hampton bar. In his piv.ctice he bns been noted, in addition to his ieg-i! ability, for his liberality and fairness and for his success even in the most des perate cases. He waa a member ot the House of Representatives ol 18G5-6, but Reconstruction suspended his political life for a time. B?mg iu Beaufort, bis brilliant taleuts attracted the Republican leaders tiieic, but to all their overrun is Li" answer was an indignant refusal, ile neglected no opportunity to make an efl ort for a return of good govern m nt, and iu 1870 he canv-K6ed Beaufort county tn the interest of the il-form ?party In 187G, as county chaiman of the Democracy, he made a most complete and exhaustive canvass o: Beaufort couniy, after having thoroughly or ganized his party from the Barnwell line to the coast. He spared no labor or expense, laid aside hin profession*! duties, aud gave himself up eutirely to the work. He had the gratification of seeing every vote1 polled that could be for the Democracy, I ut overwork and exposure caused an dimes from which he did not recover lor months and which came near putting a pre mature ead to his ueelul hie. He was more than any one eine in strumental in the creation ol Hampton county. Since the county has been in existence he has represented it as Senator, and in that capacity his dis tinguished services are well known, both to the county and to the State. Children's Day at Bold Spring. Bro. J. S. Jordan tells us of a pleas ant celebration by his Bold Spring congregation, Edgefield Association, of the " Children's Bible Day"-the 16th November. The o/ie/ings of the day, added to ihose Bit'.L at Dama3 cos, another of his churches, aggre gated $25. Another pleasant feature of the day was the presentation of a communion eervice in the name of Edith and Willard Buidick, children of eight and six year6, cousins of the pastor, resident in New York. " To 11 a few words of presentation by the pastor, ex-Senator Calliscn responded in a neat little speech, urging the t| brethren trryield to the incitement of this generous gift and be stimul-ited by it to renewed and redoubled effort to complete our houee of worship. Our expectation ot aid from sister churches has not been tully realized ; but we still hope that those who promised us contributions about this time (Nov. 1st) are preparing to send them in, so that, notwithstanding pur crop failure, following so closely uf.on the heels of the desolating storm, we shall be able to place pews in our house, and paint the outside to pre serve it from the damaging effect of M the*winter rain."-Baptist Courier. [| HENDRICKSON IRELAND.-In his recent speech at Newark Vice Presi dent elect Hendricks, speaking to the Sullivan club, said : I hope to see the day when Ireland shall be towards England what New Jersey is to the United States of America-an iudt pendent, sovereign Stale, and acting and executing the laws in all matters local to herself. That is the beauty i ofojariysttm of government. It \* --"fey that system of government that we stand and flourish-local govern ment to localities and general govern ment for the protection and mainten ance of the rights of the entire na tion. So should it be some time or other for poor but glorious Ireland. MARRIED, on the 13th instant, at the residence of the bride's father. Mr. G. M. Lanier, by Rev. S. P. H. Elwell, Mr. K. T. LANIER and Miss'LUCY C. LA NIER, both of Edgefield County. MARY E. HOLSTON, wife ot MOSES M. IloLsT?N, died at her home near Batesburg, S. C., Sept. 25th, 18M, aged 37 years and 10 months. At th? tender age of ll she was converted and,became a member of the West Creek ' Baptist Church, and for twenty-five y4&ra was an humble follower of the meekand low ly Savior. In the spring of 1873 nhe was married, since which time she has lent the charm of a quiet, unassuming, chris tian spirit to the sacred domair of the home circle. She belonged to th; t grand army of consecrated wives and i aotbers whose worth is but feebly felt h ire, and whose just meed of praise is reserved for a higher and holier clime, wlfero and when the Master will say, " Weljdone." Only those who know the vaihed and perplexinc cares of a mother's lp?e, can, oven partially, appreciate the beauty and sfrength of those graces which Wave a halo of glory around the head of a.chris tian mother. She has not lived In vain. No ! no ! The world may not Vee her light now, her influence may no] be felt now, but both will glow in the character and lives of sons and daughters-though dead she will yet speak ; for it cannot be that the prayers and tears of on?Swho in the hour of death dung with a mother's dev.) til m to her children, will be unheard and unheeded. ^ She was an intense sufferer for nearly a year previous to her death, all o 'which was borne with a degree of patient sub mission which is truly inspiring. She was perfectly conscious to the last, and such composure in the hour o? death, this writer has never witnesseM The thought of heaven-of meeting lather, sistors and brothers-of seeing Jesus, seemed to have completely robbewdeath of its sting and the grave of its^gloom. Like precious metals, christian charac ters do not reveal their worth andlb?auty until ? " lu the furnace God shall provo" them, Thence to bring them forth' more bright." < The brilliance of certain stars docs not appear except on a densely darky Dight, eveu so the dark, gloomy night of afflic tion and sorrow sometimes develops or brings to view sparkling gems ofjreligi ous character, which otherwisefwould have remained unknown. Dise?e and suffering had crushed the body, but therein had given the victor's palm to the soul ; for she could say with Paul : ' We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." ) The husband and five children, togeth cr with a large circle of relatives and friends, mourn the loss we have sus tained, and yet we rejoice that w! th her " It is well." May we all like tar have an "entrance abundantly into tr lasting Kingdom of our Lor/ Christ." N. Master's Sale.l State ol' South Carbina, EDGEF1ELD CO UNI Ju Common Pleas. Henry Franklin, vs. P. N.
