We are authorized by the President of the An? derson Democratic Club to oxtond an invitation to all conservativo citizens to attend a public meet? ing'afc this place ?? Saturday, 23rd instant, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Sohool ' Commissioner. It is. particularly desirable that e?cryoMtigfibbriioed-in theJO^i?iet should be repj^j entod, and if possible, that delegates from pri? mary meetings bcauthorised to act for their respeo live sections. The various Democratic Clubs al? ready organized are earnestly requested to- send delegates-; and whero no organization existe, that leading men devote ? little time towards ascertain? ing the sentiments of their communities, either by holding meetings or otherwise. SCHOOL COHMISSIOSEB. Our, friends of the Bishop Branch Club are doubtless already informed that there has boen no nomination made for School Commissioner, and thai 3 meeting for that purpose is called for Sat? urday next. Wo trust that, this active and intel? ligent club wfll?be fully represented on that occa tionj g ? *?-;? ".THE BLUE SUJOS BAILEOAD. ??fjr^j......... It is a matter of real congratulation to us, to see that this great enterprise is steadily growing ia favor and receiving that attention from financiers and statesmen that its importance demands. We ?all attention to- the-interesting letter of Hon. Geo. A. TanxnoLU, published in another column? and Hail with pleasure tbe sound, practical views of thia distinguished gentleman. The enterprising citizens of CincinaltL* and Louisville should at ? once seize lipon tho hint hero thrown out, and by concerted action secure the great advantages of this short, cheap, consolidated route to the Atlantic seaboard. -,-*-1 HOW THE CONSTITUTION .WAS MADE. It has been rather boastingly suggested in some 'quartern that thc Constitution, framed by the re ?cent piebald Convention for the future government Of South Carolina, is a model of excellence in its way, if it be remembered who" composed that body, and-what proportion of the members wero so re? cently in bondage. This suggestion at once im preszes all fair and candid men with the conviction, th.it the instrument thus framed is the work of other li nds than those of its pretended authors. Such is now provea to be the case, and with un? doubted Radical testimony.. Ia the debato on thc ^omnibus" Reconstruction bill, in- the House of Bepreseatatives on Thursday lost, Mi*. Paine, of Wisconsin, stated that the section ''giving extend? ed jurisdiction to justices of thc peace, was copied Hterally from the Iowa constitution ; and as to Other sections objected to, they teen copied from the constitutions of several other Northern Slates." Here is the naked troth, perhaps, unwittingly thrown out by a not very sagacious Radical Congressman. Without pretending to disguise the facts, it is vir? tually, admitted that this ponderous and unwicldly instrument contains objectionable features', but they were, forsooth, already engrafted upon sevo rai -Northern States 1 Mr. PAisa is sadly in need Cf reconstruction. -m -* PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Among the worst features of thc Constitution now about being forced upon the tax-payers of ?- South Carolina against their wishes, is the extra? ordinary taxation embraced in its several provis? ions, and band-owners will necessarily be required to pay an undue proportion of thc taxes levied by the next Legislature. It is a petty and tyrannical confiscation scheme, none the less odious because cf ita- cowardly character. With the hope of forcing huge bodies of land inte market, under tax-executions, tbese-wortbies have sought to wrest ? power they dread from the grasp of the present ownets of the soil. It may ensue that they ore doomed to disappointment, for many reasons, and - that these Utopian schemes will never survive the first attempt at enforcement. At any rate, ?he sug? gestion so- wisely incorporated into- the Constitu? tion of the Democratic club at Flat Rock church, ia this District, is well worthy of consideration, namely, that tenants, and .employees receiving a jarfc of the crop as their wages, be required to pay 'aiproportionate share of tho taxes assessed upon tile land they cultivate. Were this generally adopted throughout thc State, it might possibly in -flnenco the members elect to tho Legislature to pursuo a liberal policy towards land-owner3, and lave some weight especially with that large ma? jority of members who aro not real estate owners, and whose condition and prospects in the future de? pend upon the cultivation of land owned by whito persons.. Their-sympalhies, at least, with their ?wn class and race would deter them from pursu? ing a course st once suicidal, if they wore warned in time that this wob the determination of their nore fortunate neighbors. Another capital suggestion is made by the club already alluded to, in reference to employing la . borers. It is simply that a recommendation bc re? quired at their hands, showing that they were dis 'eharged or had fulfilled their contracts. This would meet the difficulty which many anticipate in regard to the probable immigration of voters just beforo an election, and prevent their obtaining even a tea days* residence in tho District, unless ithsir- intentions were dearly manifest. Intinm tiona have already been given that a fresh im. p'ortation of this kind might control the election in thc interests of tho Radioal party, and it is im? portant that the farming community be on their guard fof fear they "entertain angels (?) unawares !" There can bo no injustice to well-disposed and law-abiding pcraons by those suggestions receiving the approval of our people generally. Every stratagem will be resorted to by tho Radicals, and it becomes ns to ^consider well our own line of cou ? duet, and nat suffer at tb sb? hands, if prudence and tpergy ?ul prevent. THE RESULT OF IMPEACHMENT. The news contained in our columns last week in? dicated that the final rote on impeachment was to have taken place on Tuesday, 12th instant. "When that day arrived, it was found that one or moro Radical Senators were prevented by sickness from being in attendance, and it was determined te post? pone the vote until Saturday. This action was re? garded as conclusive evidence that the Radicals needed all their strength to secure the conviction of the President, and instantly revived the hopes ot those favoring acquittal. We publish the entiro proceedings of Saturday in this issue, from which it will be observed that the eleventh and last arti? cle of impeachment was taken up and acted upon, resulting in a vote of 35 to 19, being leas than two thirds in favor of impeachment. This eleventh article contains the substance of all the others, and the vote is understood to be a test of the main question involved, namely, whether or not the President will be convicted. The impeachment court then adjourned to meet again on Tuesday next, 26th. inst., when tba oilier articles are to be voted upon, unless Radical policy dictates fur? ther delay. In the meantime, the Chicago Con? vention will haye met, and'tho Radicals from every section can compare notes as to the popularity of impeachment as a party measure. Their failure to convict the President will undoubtedly weaken that party all over the country, and possibly insure its defeat next fall. -? DISTRICT COURT. An extra term of this Court was held last week, ^???g^MUBEA?-PF^'diQg..... There was a large amount of business disposed of, and the Court 1 continued in session until Friday. Tho following sentences wore passed upon those convicted : The notorious Bob Thompson, indicted for horse stealing and larceny in, four cases, plead guilty, with the exception of one caso, and was sentenced to ten years and six months at hard labor in the Penitentiary. Jacob B. CHAsnrtcr, a white man, was convict? ed of larceny in four cases, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for one year. Benjamin Hood, freedman, convicted of larceny in two cases, was sentenced to imprisonment fer three months. Eliza Hood, freedman, convicted of larcency, and sentenced for one month. Newton Burns, alias Newton Cooley, freedman, convicted of sheep stealing, and sentenced to im? prisonment for four moat hs. Richard Wright and Elbert Rice, freedmen, plead guilty of petit larceny, and each sentenced to one month's imprisonment. There were several other sent enees in cases of minor importance. REGISTRATION AGAIN. The circular from military headquarters, pub? lished in our extra last week, provided for another revision of the registration books, for a period of (ive days, beginuing on Monday last, 18th inst. We hope that none entitled to register theirnames as voters have overlooked this important provis? ion, and that all who have not hitherto availed themselves of the privilege will at once attend to this imperative duty, and be prepared to vote for tho Democratic nominees at the coining election. The Boards for the 1st Registration Precinct, Dr. J. L. Crumley, Chairman, and the 3rd Regis? tration Precinct, W. G. S.\iiTn, Chairman, are in session at this place ; and the Board for the 2nd Registration Precinct, S. L. Westmoreland, Chairman, is in session at Williamston. Let all those yet unregistered remember that tho opportu? nity will remain until Friday next, 22d instant, including that day. -4> [ OUR MODESTY STRONGLY TESTED. Tho two fullowing paragraphs"tro indicativo of a keen appreciation by some of our brethren of the kindness and generosity evinced towards tho edi? tor of this paper, and though modesly is a prover? bial characteristic with him, these showers of pleasantry are almost too much for the frailty of human nature. Wo can only whisper into their cars that the apparent popularity of thc editor is wholly unmerited, and proceeds from that just sense of discrimination for which thc good people of An dcrsoahave boen long distinguished, and especially the fairer portion of creation. The "proof of Lite pudding" can bc easily made whenever our brother by the sea or that other at Newberry see3 fit to lend the light of a benign countenance to this region. If there is no "vacancy" on the editorial staff, there is always one at tho hearthstone of Andorsonians for poor, suffering, forlorn and ill used editors; and tho "good time" awaits tho coming of just such whole-souled fellows as atc know our brotIvers to bo. Hore are tho paragraphs : Our friend Hoyt, of tho Anderson Intelligencer, is again in luck. Ile must be either handsomor than some of his less fortunate brothers, or has some peculiarity of getting on the blind side of his neighbor* and friends, that wc know not of, for he is ever being blessed with largo showers of affec? tionate regards. Green peas and strawberries coTcr his table, and he waxes fat over first deli? cacies ; and only the other day he received (ofter the marrifigo of a couple, who we know will live in the seventh heaven of happiness all tho days of their lives,) a Whole Wedding: Cake. Not a slice, a hunk, or a chunk, done up in a piece of paper, brown, may bo, or greasy, but a whole everlasting cake, enough for his whole family, connections, friends, printers, devil, and all. Oh, Jeemes, tie careful how you mako glorification over your streaks of luck. Some folks got jealous and cross-eyed at. such generous signs of appreciation. Yo gods and little fishes ! a Wuole Cake ! The good time must bo approaching, and tho day dawus in Anderson. ?Newberry Herald. The editor of the Anderson Intelligencer is in ec stacy at a wedding cake, sent him by a couple, "whc3e nuptials are happily chronicled under the appropriate heading." ile is very particular, too, in saying that it was "not a slice," but an "entire cake" lie received. A lucky fellow is our brother ! And it never rai'.)3 but it pours ; immediately fol? lowing the aforenamed, nuptial present comes an acknowledgment of strawberries and peas from tho "dark corner." Anderson must le the El Dorado of editors. Any vacancy? ? Charleston Mercury. -O For the Anderson Intelligencer. Ho::ha Path, May 9, 16C8. At a D?mocratie meeting convened at this place for tho purposo of organizing a Democratic club, M. Burts was called to tho Chair and W. T. Trayn ham requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman explained tho object of the meeting in a few ap? propriate remarks. A committee was appointed by tho Chairman to draft business for tho meeting ; and after a few moments returned and reported a series of resolutions, similar to those of other Democratic Clubs in tho Stale, which was read and unanimously adopted.

"To appr< oiatc it properly," says the correspondent who hs kindly furnished us with a copy for publicatioi "it must be remembered that the author is the olde! lecturer on Medicine in the United States, and ; now over seventy years of ago, with ?large familj He lost all of his acquired wealth in the late wa and now lives upon his salary.

It breaks my heart from friends to part, And mine eyes, mino eyes, the tear drops pour While mournfully I repeat the cry, "I return, I return no more." Though hero I broatho in ample space, And gather with fuller hand, Naught can efface one single traco Of my own dear distant land. i With many a beat my pulses throb, And miqe eyes, mine oyes, tho tear drops pour While wearily I repeat the cry, "I return, I return no more." When others sloep, I wake and weep To think of joys tong past, And wish and pray for the happy-day That shall bring ropose at last. Sad memories fill my soul with gloom, And minc eyes, mine eyes, the tear drops pour While wearily I repeat the cry, "I return, I return no more." -o For the Anderson Intelligencer.
