CHANGE OF PUBLICATION DAT.
The readers will observe that the Intelligencer is
now issued on Thursday morning, instead of
Wednesday, as heretofore. This arrangement will
accommodate a larger number of patrons with the
latest news, as nearly all the country mails leave
this point on Thursday and Friday mornings of
each week. In fact-only one route is supplied on
Wednesday, and on that route we have less than
??'ftrenty-five subscribers. Hence, the present ar?
rangement is vastly more to the interest of the
large majority of our subscribers. We shall en?
deavor to make satisfactory arrangements for the
delivery of the packages on tbe Carnesvillc route,
aud failing in this endeavor, we presume that the
'route may be changed to Thursday, as it was in
former times.

- ' DEATH OF REV. BASIL MABXY, SR.
A great and good man in Israel has fallen ! The
well beloved and venerated Dn Manly, Sr., died
iu.Greenville on Monday morning, December 21st.
at the residence of his son,. Rev. Basil Maxly,
Jr, after a few days confinement to a sick bed. ne
was universally known throughout tho Baptist de?
nomination of the South, and has been serving in
fhe ministry for over forty years. We were privi?
leged to enjoy a brief acquaintance with this truly
bright exemplar of Christian faith and devoted
piety, and while it would be vanity for us to
attempt any tribute to the majestic intellect or
noble character of Dr. Maxly, yet the heart wells
up in gratitude to God for the inestimable privilege
of hoviug-known ar.d loved a man no pure, and
wise, and good. The Greenville papers contain
brief sketches of tbs life, character and % services
of Dr. Manly, and from these we make some ex?
tracts. The Enterprise says:
Dr. Basil Manly, Sr., was born in Chatham Coun
iy, North Carolina, January 29, 1798. Ho was
sent, by his father to the South Carolina College in
1819, aud graduated with the first honor in 1821.
After leaving college he settled in Edgefiekl, nod
preached in that district till 1826. He was then
called to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church
in .O-barlcston, succeeding that eminent minister,
Dr. R- Furman, who had been a short time before
removed by death. Ue remained in Charleston
about ten years, und then was elected to the presi?
dency of the State College of Alabama, at Tusca
loosa. He accepted the office, and filled the posi?
tion with great distinction for ability and wise
management for twenty years. His reputation
secured hiui the offer of the presidency of the South
Carolina College, and also of Furman University,
both of which he declined. He resigned the presi?
dency of the college in Alabama, and returned to
Ckaalestou for about two years, taking the pastor?
ate of the Went worth-street Church; was again
solicited to an important field of ministerial labor
in Alabama, and returned to that State. In 1804,
whilst he was pastor of the Baptist Church, in
Montgomery, he was stricken with pnralysFs, which
terminated his active labors, although-he recovered
sufficiently to preach and lecture with all his
wonted power of instruction, save his inability to
jndulgo in the same eloquence and pathos of
manner which had characterized him in the days
of his strength. . His nervous system was too
much enfeebled to sustain strong emotional efforts,
although his fine reasoning powers seemed little,
if at all diminished, in the lust yoars of his life.
In reference to the later years of his life, the
Mountaineer says :
During the years of his sojourn in Greenville,
our people have been ablo to become more inti?
mately acquainted with his lovely character and his
excellence ae a "man of God;" and though he
walked nrnong us us one who had accomplished the
term of active service in the ministry, with n con?
stitution impaired by disease, he frequently par?
took of the public duties of i lie sanctuary, anil his
words of pious counsel and consolation seemed lo
be accompanied with that unction of holiness that
found a sanctified entrance into the hearts of many,
while it commanded the reverence of all.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE IN THIS CON?
GRESSIONAL DISTRICT?MORE RADICAL
LYING AND MISREPRESENTATION.
"We have before us a copy of the prolest served
by Solomon L. IIoge, the defeated Radical candi?
date for CoDgress from this Congressional District,
upon the lion. J. V. Reed, of this place, the suc?
cessful candidate. The document bears date of
the 28th of December, and has been placed in Mr.
Reed's hands within the past week. It covers
thirty-seven pages of foolscap paper, aud contains
fifty-seven distinct charges of fraud, intimidation,
violence and outrage cm the part of the Democrat?
ic party. These charges, however, relate only to
the counties of Edgeficld, Abbeville, Anderson,
Ncwberry and Lexington, while the ceunties of
Richlaud and Qrangcburg are passed over in si?
lence. The reason for this distinction can only
exist in the fact that the two last named counties
gave Republican majorities, and it. is not the in?
terest of Mr. IIoce lo disturb the result in those
counties, as declared by the official canvassers.
We propose to notice briefly a few of the gene?
ral charges of fraud and Tiolence, in order that
our readers may be informed as to t!io character
of this protest. The first nine charges adduces
proof that Mr. Reed held certain oflbes prior to
the war, gave aid and comfort to the Confederate
cause, and was ineligible to a seat in Congress at
the time of his election b7 reason of being dis?
qualified under the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. It is unneces?
sary to say that this proof is readily admitted,
and that :ho charges as set. forth ;:,re generally
correct.
The tenth charge declares that a majority of the
votes wer? obtained for Mr. Reed by "fraud,
throats, intimidation, violence and assassination."
From the eleventh to the thirteenth, inclusive,
it is charged that there was a combination and
conspiracy to prevent an electiou in Edgeficld
county, because the Democrats knev; that IIoge
would receive a majority of thirty-two hundred
votes in that county ; that for weeks prior to the
olection the Democratic party engaged in great
ac's of violence, such as whipping, maltreating,
shooting and murdering colored men, for the pur?
pose of preventing an election in said county;
and that, among other acts of violence, members
of the Democratic party shot at one of the Com?
missioners of Election for Edgeficld, and drove
said person out of the count}-, and by other acts
of violence, frightened and terrified the said Com?
missioners of Election as to prevent any election
in said county.
From the fourteenth to lite twentieth, inclusive,
it is charged that, in the county of Lexington, at
least nine hundred and fifty i persona not legally
cntitlcd to vote were improperly and illegally nl
lowed to vote at said election, and east their votes
for Mr. Reed ; that at least four hundred and
fifty lawful and legal voters in the ?;iid county of
Lexington were prevented from voting thjj Radical
ticket by armed bodies of men at various election
precincts, and that all of these would have voted
for the truthful, chivalrous and immaculate Solo
jiox L. H?ge.
From t-ae twenty-first to the fortieth,; inclusive,
the couniy of Abbeville is charged with divers
and various offences against the "peace and dig
lity" of the Radical parly. Of tbes<!, we will
only enumerate a-few of the most prominent.
That there arc about forty-two hundred registered
voters in Abbeville, who, if allowed to exercise
their own free wii!, would vote tho Republican
ticket, and that there are about eighteen hundred
registered white voters ; that by threats, fraud,
intimidation and acts of violence, he (Hog?) was
deprived of the votes of thirty-four hundred col?
ored persons, thus receiving only about eight hun?
dred voice in Abbeville. That on the day of elec?
tion, at least fifteen hundred citizens of Edgeficld
and other adjoining counties distributed them?
selves among the different election precincts in the
county of Abbeville, took possession of the polls,
and prevented thirty-four hundred colored per
sous from voting. That this ubiquitous fifteen
hundred from Edgeficld were '?mounted, aud arni
ad with revolvers, Winchester rifles, and other
fire-arms and deadly weapons,.and rode from one
precinct to another," voting everywhere they
went. That many murders and assassinations of
leading Republicans, including Randolph und
Martin, "and numbers of colored men whose
names arc unknown," were brought about by
members of the Democratic party for the purpose
of defeating Hogf.'s election.
From the forty-first to tho forty-eighth, inclu?
sive, it is charged that, in the county of Ncwber?
ry, for weeks previous to ihn election, "a system
of intimidation and violence was practiced for the
purpose of destroying and breaking up the Re?
publican party in said county, and to so terrify
the colored men as lo prevent them from voting;"
that this system consisted "in murduring, shoot?
ing, whipping and otherwise maltreating those
who professed to bo members of the Republican
party." That at least twelve hundred persons,
not legally entitled to vote therein, were unlaw?
fully and illegally allowed to vote; that ^aid per?
sons went into said county, mounted and armed,
and prevented at least fifteen hundred colored per?
sons from going to the polls, and voting the Radi?
cal ticket. That Lee Nance, one of the Commis?
sioners of Election, was killed, thereby giving en?
tire control over the appointment of managers of
election to the Democrats; and that he (IIoge)
was prevented from thoroughly canvassing New
berry from violence aud attempts to assassinate
him.
From the forty-ninth to the fifty second, inclu?
sive, the*county of Anderson receives especial at?
tention, as follows;
That in ?he Couniy of Anderson in said Dislricf
for some time previous to said election, parties
of armed men, rode over different-parts of the coun?
ty, shooting and maltreating persons, breaking in?
to the houses of colored men, beating men, women
and children, destroying furniture and clothing,
and committing many other acts of violence and
outrage, forcing colored men to swear they
would be Democrats, and threatened them with
death if they went to the oolls and voted the Re?
publican ticket. Inconsequence of said violence
and outrage and intimidation, a large number did
not dare to vote, on said da^- of election, and a
large number were driven trom the polls, at the
different precincts in said county, and otherwise
prevented from voting on said day of election.
That in these various ways, at least one thousand
Colored voters, who were legal voters in said coun?
ty, were prevented from voting in said county, on
said day of election, nil of whom would have voted
forme?and that a large number of fraudulent Kid
illegal voles, were cast for you in said county, on
said day of electiou.
;j(lth. That the person who was taking flic Re?
publican tickets, with lfly name on them, to the
election precinct'of Greenwood, in ihc couniy of
Anderson, in said District, w s shot at and driven
away, by persons unkuuwn, thereby prevented
from distributing tickets, with my name on them
ai said precinct.
Thai ul the election precinct of Dark Corner, in
said county, one man Was whipped until lie prom
ised lo vole for you. one man shot Ihc uigJil before
the election; and that frDin threats, intimidation
and violence not a Republican ticket, or a ticket
, with my name on it was polled at said precinct, on
said day of election.
51 h; . Thai ono of the Commissioners of Flection
for said county of Anderson, on their way from
Anderson Court Iloiiso lo Williamston, iu said
county was dogged by some parly unknowu, and
forced to lay out in tbs fields all night, and that a
great many persons, both white and colored voted
the Democratic ticket, and for you through fear,
and many were forced so to vote.
62nd. That by virtue of the general and whole?
sale system of intimidation, threats, violence and
terrorism practiced throughout the counties of Lex?
ington, Newberry, Abbeville and Anderson, to?
gether with the fraud and illegality practiced at
the different election precincts, in each of the said
counties, the election in the Bftid counties is null
and void.
[The reader will observe that, the principal
charges relating to Anderson are simply a reha3h
of the infamous falsehoods promulgated by "Fact,"
a3 published in these columns several weeks ago
and copied from the Republican. It is well to no?
tice, however, in this connection, the discrepancy
made by Mr. Hogs in the 51st charge when com?
pared with the published account of his flight to
Williamston on the night of the lGth of October
last. In this particular charge, as to one of the
Commissioners of Election being " dogged by some
party unknown," the reliable H?ge has forgotten
to state that, on the same night, himself and an?
other Commissioner of Election followed the foot?
steps of the first-named, and it is within the range
of probability that they are responsible for this
unmannerly conduct in " dogging " a gentleman to
bis domicil, and forcing him "to lay out in the
fields al! night."]
The fifty-third charge declares that Mr. Reed, in
a speech delivered in Columbia, accepting the nom?
ination, made use of the expression that, if the Re?
publican party triumphed in the October elections,
"the colored people might have the audacity and
impudence to attempt to vote as they pleased, but
that in your part of the District, (referring to New
berry, Abbeville and Anderson,) the negroes should
vote tho Democratic ticket, or they should'nt vote
at all." This is a bare-faced lie out of whole cloth,
as all who heard the speech to which reference is
made will testify, except the veracious contestant
himself. It is further charged that Mr. Reed said,
in the cars, on the Greenville Railroad, during the
campaign, that he advised the most extreme vio?
lence against all Republican leaders and speakers,
"and this at a time when Republican speakers
were being shot and assassinated." Every one
familiar with the conduct, displayed and opinions
expressed by Mr. Ried, during the campnign, will
resent this foul aspersion, and many of hit most
intimate friends will remember an oft-repeated
declaration, that he was induced to eater the cam?
paign in order to temper the violence of debate
and tone down the heated nature of the struggle,
which was exhibited on both sides to some extent
at the outset. This alone'is a sufficient reply to
the malignant falsehood.
The fifty-fourth charge is quite a lengthy one>
and embraces the entire Democratic party of South
Carolina. It alleges that an extensive combination
and conspiracy was formed in the spring and sum?
mer of 1SG8, for the purpose of compelling the
electors of the said State to vote for the candidates
of this conspiracy at the Congressional election,
and to prevent from voting at said election all
electors supporting candidates in opposition ; that
jn pursuance of such a conspiracy, candidates were
agreed upon, and among them Mr. Ree?; that
public meetings were held, at which it was
resolved not to give employment or shelter, sup?
port or protection to the opponents of this conspi?
racy; th.it it was publicly announced, unless the
people of color should support the candidates of
this couspiracy, they would be driven with violence
t'rom tho State ; that the newspapers were, nlmost
without exception, influenced or .equired to give
publicity to such determinations and objects; and
that by other public and secret means, including
the persecution of all opposing (he acts of these
eonspirators, the majority of the people were com"
polled to conform and comply with the plans and
purposes of this conspiracy. That armed bodies
of men were organized in different parts of the
State, especially in the Third and Fourth Con.
gressjonal Districts, who patrolled by day and by
night for many weeks prior to said election, giving
out with threats, and acts of personal violence,
that persons opposing the election of their candi?
dates would be killed or driven out of tbe country;
that many persons were actually killed for this
cause, and that the people were intimidated and
overawed, so that large numbers were prevented
from voting for the opposition candidates. That,
,n consequence of such unlawful acts aud influen?
ces, at. least ten thousand electors in the Third
Congressional District were prevented from voting
at said election, all of whom intended to vote for
Hogi, which would have given him a majority.
The fifty-fifth charge alleges that all and every
of the fraudulent and illegal votes were cast for
Mr. Reed and counted for him, and that a compar?
ison will be demanded of all the ballots, with the
names and numbers on the registration and poll
books.
The fifty-sixth charge is to the effect that ij
would be impossible for IIoge, with safely lo him?
self, to go inlo the counties of Abbevide, Newbcrry
and Anderson, for the purpose of taking testimony
in this contest; that he would be assassinated by
the friends and partisans of Mr. Reed, if he made
the attempt.
The fifty-icventh and last charge declares that
Solomox L. H?ge was the inly legal candi
dalc for the office of member of Congress from this
District, and is entitled to the seat.
The space occupied by this abridgment of the
protest, and the late hour at which it was received
by us, prevents any extended comments on the
innumerable falsehoods and mis-statcmcnrs there?
in contained. It is unnecessary to point them
out. however, for they are so glaring that all can
see for themselves.
