Thnrsday Moro'g, Jan. IQ, 1867. TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS. We have determined to adhere strictly to the cash system, and hereafter no paper will be seat unless the money accompanies the order. Those now in arrears for subscription will be duly advised of the period their subscriptions ex? pired or began, and unless the arrearages are set? tled on or before the first day of February, next, the paper will be discontinued. In no instance will this rule be deviated from, and fair notice is here? by given to all concerned that their papers will be stopped from and after the time specified, and the accounts placed in the bands of an officer for col? lection. Necessity forces us to make every effort to obtain the amounts due to this office, and we trust that cone of our friends will compel us to resort to stringent measures to secure these small ajnc-ucis..

Monday last the crowds of people in town indi? cated an unusual interest in the day, but beyond the excitement incident to the sales of the Sheriff Sind others, all was calm and serene. True, late in the afternoon it was apparent that there was sn exuberance T>f spirits of an inferior- quality, but ?Ten this passed off without bloody noses or black ened eyes. In short, the comparison between last Monday and a similar day years ago, before "tho boys" were taught to stand fire, would certainly result in favor of the present era. Perhaps the rigid schooling of four years' service has dimin? ished the fighting ardor, or to speak more charita? bly, perhaps they imbibe peaceful beverages these days. At all events, saleday now seldom wit? nesses the disgraceful scenes alluded to, and this speaks volumes for our moral improvement and education. May it ever continue thus. The property sold by the Sheriff brought good prices, as follows: One tract of land, containing 247 acres for $915 ; one tract, two miles from An? derson, containing 187 acres, brought $1030; one tract near Williamsion, 200 acres, $240. The Or? dinary sold a tract of land, containing 207 acre:, for 3170, and an acre lot in Williamston for SI35. Personal property sold by the Sheriff realiied the highest figures. ANOTHER VETO MESSAGE. President Johnson, on Monday last, transmitted to Congress an elaborate message, returning the bill conferring suffrage on the negroes of the Dis? trict of Columbia. After narrating the facts con? nected with this subject, and stating the ascertained opposition of the people interested in this measure, the President quotes at length from the opinions of j eminent jurists and statesmen, showing conclu? sively the wrong and injustice of forcing equal suf? frage upon unwilling subjects. In conclusion, the President makes the following practical application of his argument: "I have preferred to reproduco these teachings of the great statesmen and constitutional law? yers of the early and later days of the re? public, rather than to rely simply upon an ex? pression of my own opinions. We cannot too often recur to them, especially at a conjunc? ture like the present. Their application to our actual condition is so apparent that they now come to us a living voice, to be listened to with more at? tention than at any previous period of our history. We have been and are yet in the midst of popular eommotion ? the passions aroused by a great civil war are still dominant. It is not a time favorable i.o calm and deliberate judgment, which is the only uafe guide, when radical changes in our institu? tions are to be made. The measure now before ms jji one of those changes, it initiates an untried experiment for a people who have said with one voice that it is not for their good. This alone nhould make us pause; but this is not alL The experiment has not been tried, or so much as de? manded by, the people of the several States for themselves. In but few of the States has such an innovation been allowed as giving the ballot to the colored population without any other qualificaiion than a residence of one year; in most of them, the denial of the ballot to this race is absolute, and by fundamental law placed beyond the dominion of ordinary legislation. In mo3t of those States, the eril of such suffrage would be partial; bnt small asit would be, it is guarded by constitutional barriers. Here the innovation assumes formida? ble proportions, which may easily grow to such an extent as to make the white population a subordi? nate element in the body politic. After full de? liberation upon this measure, I cannot bring my? self to approve it, even upon local consideration, nor yet as the beginning of an experiment on a larger scale. I yield to no one in attach? ment to that rule of general suffrage which distinguishes our policy as a nation, but there is a limit wisely observed hitherto which makes the ballot a privilege?a trust?which re quies ?f some classes a time suitable for probation and preparation. To give it indiscrimately to a new class, wholly unprepared, by previous habits and opportunities, to perform the trust which it demands, is to degrade it, and finally to destroy it* power; for it may be safely assumed that no poiiucjsj truth, i* better established thanthat such ; j^UKT^inatfranda^nifcca^gexaea^ouofpop^ v^. forage must end at last 35 it* d?tflM?jfffc" J ALL NOT YET LOBT. Under this head, the Richmond Times takes the following hopeful view of the recent decision of the Supreme Court: There are encouraging indications that the pro? gress of the nation to. Avcrnus may yet, at the eleventh hour, he arrested by the strong and vig? orous arm of tbe Supreme Court. Although the Chief Justice of that Court is not a worthy suc? cessor to jurists liko Marshall, yet his official as? sociates are men of pluck, nerve and honesty. Their recent decision with reference to the trial of civilians by military commissions is a judicial dec? laration that, during the last four years, hundreds of men have been murdered and illegally incarce? rated by these tribunals. The persons charged with the assassination of poor Mr. Lincoln were put to death in gross violation of the Constitution. There are scores of prisoners languishing on tho scorchiug sands of tho Dry Tortugas who are there without the authority of law. Mr. Stanton's military bastiles were also orowded with the vio tims of these lawless military commissions. It is not strange that the leading organs of tbe Radical party are aghast at tho recent decision of the Supremo Court. Forney shrieks as poor Tom Hood supposed a rascally attorney would do when clutched by the devil. That decision has turned a thousand "sentences" by military commissions into murders and other grave crimes. It is an en? dorsement of the bold and fearless denunciations with which the despised "copperheads" assailed the conduct of the military commissions. Mr. Secretary Seward's "little bell" which tinkled the knell of so many victims, has been broken, and from their graves the ghosts of hundreds of mur? dered men have emerged to charge these lawless military commissions with the "deep damnation of their taking off." In this body there still seems to linger aom? vir? tue, honesty and respect for the Constitution. Al? though its chief belongs body and soul to the Rad? icals, and administers "justice" with the spirit and prejudice of a partisan, a majority of the Court are not unworthy automatons, ready and willing to register the decrees of the Thad. Stevens cau? cuses. The conspirators who are at work preparing to degrade ten of the oldest States of the Union to the condition of Territories, know fall well that the fruit of their wicked labor will be turned to dupt and ashes by the men who have just decided that Military Commissions have again and again deliberately murdered American oitizens. In the gaudy, tawdry, garish legislative halls of the Neva Capitol, reckless and unprincipled dema? gogues may outrage and insult the South and dis? honor the nation, but in the grand, histrionic old Senate chamber, once tenanted and illuminated by the talent and genius of Calhoun, Hayne, Web? ster, Wright, Clay and a host of other giants who have passed away, there now sits in grave and decorous judgment a body of sages who hare just shown that all is not yet lost. The National Intelligencer, another able and in? fluential journal, uses the annexed languago re? specting this decision; Tbat the Union is saved, in the full integrity of its threo great divisions, has become a majestio consummation by tho unanimous voice of the Su? preme Court in vindication of the civil institutions of the country. The moral weight of the decision in the Milligan case cannot be measured by that of any of the great constitutional questions which shook the Republic in days gone by. For neither in the breadth of the issue, the extravagance of contemporary heresies, on the subject, nor in the magnitude of the stake, could any past cause be? fore that high court compare with this. But more than all, the unanimity of the whole bench on all that was vital in this great question is without previous example. In great constitutional ques? tions heretofore, even when the court were unani? mous (which happened but rarely) on the judg? ment, they were various in-their reasonings ,* and in the greatest questions the dissenting opinions were all but as weighty as the judgment itself. Here the only diversion from the common current of the judicial mind of the supreme bench (and, indeed, the bar of the country at large) was upon the speculative question whether, under any cir? cumstances, it would be possible to reooncile a military commission for the trial of civilians with the Constitution of the United States. All the judges agreed that if such a power could bo found in that instrument it was altogether latent as yet, and consequently, that for tho purpose of any ex? isting case there was no shadow of law for the monstrous and sanguinary pretensions with which the disordered and perverted partisanship of the times would strike down the liberties of the peo? ple. The dicta of four of the judges go no farther than to assert the power of Congress to legalize military commissions. In all that is actual; in all that has ever entered into a discussion of this theme in the press, the courts, or the halb of Con? gress ; in all that there is in the question, the con? stitutional exponent of tbe law in this country, has spoken in oue voice of rebuke, seated on the exalted judgment seat of the nation, olothed in the spotless ermine of justioe. Not from the thickened tongue and bloodshot eyes of the boisterous harangue; not from the poisoned plume or the nerveless equivocation of partisan editors; not from the honest but prepos? terous vehemence of the political pulpit; not even , from the speeches of statesmen, pledged to party measures, and bound by personal obligations, are we to look for a test of loyalty, a rule of civil obedience, a criterion of national patriotism. An? cient, beneficent, just, majestio, it is the law which spreads from the judicial branoh of the organic republic. He that hesitates in this obedience, or postpones his respeoi, is ignorant of freedom, un? worthy to bo heard, and born to meanness. Lot him seek and serve a master. -? SERIOUS ACCIDENT. We learn that on Monday night last, while a i well known character by the name of Johx Sav? iors was sleeping before the fire in a room at? tached to the grocery of Kennedy & MoKinnet, his clothing caught fire and he was severely if not seriously burned before assistance reached him. Of course, being intoxicated, he oould not extin guibh the flames. He was sent home the follow? ing morning, and we hear that his recovery is con? sidered doubtful What a solemn warning to men addicted to strong drink! -o PLEASANT VISITORS. 1 We would do violence to the better feelings of our nature, unless this issue contained a proper acknowledgment to the substantial friends who called at our office on Monday last and settled their indebtedness. We owe you gratitude, gentlemen, for your timely assistance, and only regret that there were not many others to be found emulating your examples. We shall continue our brief re reminder until the 1st of February, and then? well, some folks will fail to receive their papers. -^ ?

Bnt the [a^koTAog^dsgTiE?eleirly; g?fc^Tk*d4?i$ ^ Editorial Pennings and Clippings. Combination! for tbe Presidency. [ The Washington correspondent of a Richmond I paper gives the following interesting account of tbe movements of the friends of Presidential as* pirsnts: The rumors I mentioned in my last about the combinations being made for the next Presidency, turn out to be facts. A slate has actually been prepared by the Westorn radicals, on which Speak? er Colfaz has been marked down as President, and the pious General 0. 0. Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau, for Vice-President. A olub has been formed in this city to promote the nomination of these persons in the next National Republican Convention. The New England radicals rather demur at the arrangement as regards Colfax, and propose Senator Fesscnden as their representative man. The Herald, wbioh has advocated and damned almost every prominent man by turn, is beginning to write up Gen. Thomas, of Nashville fame, for a Democratic nomination for the Chief Magistracy. Grant's name appears to have been dropped in this connection. He announced some time ago that he would not be a candidate. He bos a much easier berth as commander-in-chief of tb.9 array. Chief Justice Chase's aspirations are well known. Senator Morgan wants to be Preoi | dent, too, tad tbe friends of General McClellon assert that he is good for a second boat. As the radicals are arranging that the Southern States shall have no voioe in the next Presidential elec? tion, you will only have the pleasure of looking on at the fight. The eltetion is really so far off that tho wire-pulling of these ambitious men appears absurd. Eighteen months are a long time in the career of this go-ahead republic and within that period so many important events may occur, that affairs may wear a v*ry different appearanoe. New and unthoughtof men may turn up prominently in the conduct of the nation's vicissitude. Who would have prediotod the election of Polk, Pierce and Linooln to the Presidency a year before their inauguration ? j Tbe New York Herald Shifting Around. The Herald, in an editorial on "the true idea of: the government and the duties of Congrtss," comts to the following conclusion, which we oommaad to ! general attention: Let the ponding constitutional amendment re? main on trial in tho intractable States until they are ready to accept it. Time works wonders, and necessity is a powerful fcrmoher. If the States con? cerned prefer to sacrifice the great advantages of restoration to their old negro prajudicos, for two, five or ten or fifteen years, give them their mar? gin, and when cured, their oure will be complete Let the amendment take its course, and 1st Con? gress turn its attention to the national finances, the carrency and our exoessivs taxation, internal and external, and to tho question of a general bankrupt law and other practical measures of re? lief, retrenchment and reform, and the two houses will be legislating to the general advantage and I satisfaction of the country. South Carolina. The Charleston correspondent of the New Tork Times writes his paper as follows in relation to public sentiment in South Carolina: I s?3 that some of the Northern papers are can? vassing the probability of the Southern States yet reconsidering their action on ths Amendment. Of this there is not the slightest hops in South Caro? lina. Tht General Assembly, whether wisely or foolishly, has made its decision; the people with one Toice seem to sustain it, even in the face of the threats of being reduced to a Territorial condition, and in my judgment their action may bo regarded as final. One of the most striking instances of the com? plete revolution in sentiment that the war has wrought in this State, may be found in the elec? tion to ths United States Senate of Hon. James B. Campbell, who was born in Connecticut, but re? moved to this State in early manhood. Although the importance of his position is somewhat equivo? cal, in view of tho remoteness of tho prospect of any of the Southern Senators being admitted to their seats, yet the honor conferrod was none the less conspicuous and well meant. Mr. Campbell has long been recognised as one of - the keenest members of tbe Bar of Charleston ; but previous to the war the prejudice against him as a "Yan? kee" prevented him from attaining political pre? ferment. As a politician Mr. Campbell is well known for his tact and judgment, and to his ef- ' forts are mainly due most of the relaxations of military rule which have taken place in this State. Another Scheme of Reconstruction. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazelle says : I have it upon undoubted authority that Senator Fassenden has, within a day or two, emphatically declared his opposition to all schemes having in i view an attempted forcible disorganization of the present State Governments in the unrepresented States. The utmost extent to which he will go, when the adoption of the constitutional amend? ment shall have been shown to be impossible, will be to give his assent to an act of Congress propos? ing a plan to those States by which, if adopted by them, their interrupted relations to the Federal Government may be fully re-established. It is understood that these views, which utterly discard the idea of territorializing those States, are concur? red in by Senator Foster, Sherman, Cragin, Fogg, and perhaps others. In harmony with the above distinct fact I may mention the report that even the Committee on Territories, in the House, will report a bill recog? nizing the validity of the Southern State gov? ernment, but proposing a means (doubtless unao-1 oeptable,) by which they may be restored to rep-1 resentation. The truth is that the whole present j policy of the Radicals, as I have bad occasion be- j fore to remark, can be summed up in a single word?delay. Thoy have not put any of their threats of impeachment, upsetting State govern? ments and tbe like, into practice. Executive Pardous. The Attorney General, says the New York Her? ald, has just completed and sent to the President for transmission to the House of Representatives a list of the Generals, members of Congress, Cabinet officers, and other officials of high rank in the Con? federate sorvice, who have been pardoned under the Amnesty Proclamation of May 20, 1866. The list contains between two and three hundred names, and in connection with each name is stated the ex? cept ion of the Proclamation under which the owner came, the names of persons recommending his par? don, and tho date of issuo. The number of persons recommending each pardon is between ten and fifteen. In the case of William Aiken, ex-Governor of South Carolina, the list of recommendations reach? es three hundred, and Geo. A. Trenholm, who was Secretary of the Confederate Treasury, has nearly one thousand names appended to his petition. A list of all the persons who have received pardons will be made out soon after the convention of Coc grees, and when that is completed the House will have received the information in regard to the clemency which has been extended by the Preui de*t to Mpq&t&st Gleanings from our Exchanges. ?

The Congressional party have returned to i Washington. They speak in exalted terms of the I attentions and hospitalities everywhere received, and represent a great revolution as taking plaoe in favor of tho Constitutional amendment, ? The Treasury Department will pay no money due prior to the war, to those who espoused the Confederate cause. The reason is that a resolu? tion for the repudiation of such debts is before Congress. ? An excitement has broken out in Buchanan county, Missouri, over a supposed discovery of gold. A few days since a farmer brought into St. Joseph gold worth sixty dollars, which he said he had picked out of an excavation on his farm. ?

Having been requested to act as Agint. for the District of Anderson in collecting contributions for the Bazaar, to be held in Bichmond in February next, I take this method of appealing to our generous and patriotic citizens. The end in view is to take care of the remains of our soldier dead who lie scattered over Virginia's gory plains?more especially of those around tho city of Richmond?that great battle-ground of the late disastrous but none tho less brilliant and hon? orable war. The noble women of that desolate city are still exerting themselves in behalf of their heroic defenders, though vain was the sacrifice, vain their long endurance. Thousands of our loved and lost sleep there in apparent neglect, and 'tis time indeed, that their names, famr and silent dust should be restored to the grateful remem? brance for those for whom they suffered and died. The|*ladiea of Richmond hare begun this great work, and summon their sisters and all true South? erners to assist them, at a privilege given, and a duty they owe to the brave departed. Articles designed to represent the peculiar tastes and liberality of every Southern State, will be ex? hibited and sold at this Bazaar, and South Caro? lina must not fail to occupy her place in the grand arena. Her ancient fame, and the mtmes of her departed sons demand it. Surely ths people of Anderson District, feeling deeply intorestcd as I know they do in this solemn and glorious cause, will exert themselves to contribute something to aid in reserving, the relics of Confederate soldiers from an unmerited oblivion. There are mothers, wives and sisters who can thus prove their affec? tion for the dear ones that can return no more ; fathers, brothers, sons and comrades-in-arms who must never forget thorn, and othors still who, pur? suing peaceful avocations at home, and exempted from all of war's sterner realities, or e a part of thoir substance to the perpetuation of the memory of their country's martyrs. Money will of course be most acceptable, but any article* of farm produce or domestic manufacture, besides ingenius contrivances made of Palmetto? the willow baskets, feather fans, and similar things peculiar to our industrious countrywomen, will be thankfully received by the managers of the Bazaar. Those who intend to ? assist, "must be up and do? ing," for the time is limited, as I hope to receive all contributions and forward them by the 15th or 20th of this month, to the care of Rev. William Martin, Columbia, who will attend to their safe do livery in Richmond. Articles and money sent in, may be left in oharge of Rov. Mr. Walters, Major Humphreys, Capt. Hoyt, or any of the Anderson merchants, for delivery to me as soon as possible. Shall we not all hear and heed this last call for "Aid to Southern Soldiers,"?though thoy need now but decent graves for their last, long repose! j EM MALA T. REED. | Andibsom, S. C, Jan. 7, 1807. --o 27011LE UNDERTAKING. The ladies of the Hollywood Memorial Associa? tion of Richmond, Va., intend holding a Bazaar for the purpose of raising funds to carry out the objects of their association, to wit, the preserva? tion of the graves of Confederate soldiers. Upon our first page is an appcel from the ladies of Rich? mond for assistance in this noble undertaking, and elsewhere will be found a direct communica? tion to the people of Anderson from Miss Euuala T. Reru, who has been appointed to receive arti? cles designed for the Bazaar, and who will take pleasuro in forwarding tho same to the proper agents. To these earuest and eloquent appeals, we feel that it is unnecessary to add a ainglo sen? tence. The people of Anderson know their duty to the honored dead, and we are confident will porform their obligations to the fullest extent.? Every one should read the articles referred to, and promptly lend their efforts to swell the contribu? tions from this Sute. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU GET MEDICINES.
