THURSDAY MORKDJG, JUNE 2, 1870, AGE2HS FOR TBE INTELLIGZTtCER. Walker, Evahs A Co?swbia, Cbwlertoa, eVC Joh? T. Sloajt, jr., Colombia, S. C W. TL b. t0dd7 General Agont - *? _ jgr Soutrx Caiolina bonds were quoted in New York on Monday last?old 90; new 82. E@F We are requested to state that Rev. J. B. Adgeb, D.D., will preach in the Presbyterian Church; of this place on next Sabbath, morning and afternoon. ?-, ???:-? We direct attention to the advertise? ment of Mr. Ebwin, in another column, offer? ing for sale a smut mill and French burr mill stone. ???>? - We understand that Mr. Joe. Mabttn has been appointed to take the census of that portion of Anderson county lying east of the main public road, running from the Abbeville lina to the Pickens line. -, m -? U&- We learn that Hon. J. A. Obb, of Co? lumbus, Miss., has been appointed by the Gov? ernor of Mississippi and confirmed by the Sen? ate, as Judge of the 7th Judicial Circuit of that State. He is a native of our town, and the youngest brother of Judge Obb, of this place. -o The Weatheb.?An overabundance of rain has fallen during the past week, and farmers are now anxiously awaiting the disappearance of the clouds. The wheat crop is not injured, however, and better stands of cotton have been secured. Oats will improve materially, and fair weather for the next week would cause gnat rejoicing in this section. j$aT On Friday last, A. S. Wallace was admitted to a seat in Congress, as Representa? tive of the Fourth Congressional District of this State, without division or objection. He was elected by a majority of 4,291 against him and in favor of Hon. W. D. Simpsost. The latter was ineligible, but this does not alter the injustice of seating a man unacceptable to the people. ? _-? G. & C. R. R. The Columbia Phoenix has been reliably in? formed that an order has recently been for? warded to the North by the officers of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, for two new locomotives and several passenger cars. A lot of new iron and chairs are also on the way,.for the parpuse of renewing and refitting oeitanr portions- of the road, when the schedule will be shortened two hours. Arrangements are also about being completed for a telegraph line. -!? ~ Fourth Congressional District. A corresponden t of the Spartanburg Spartan nominates Col. John H. Evtns, of that place, for Representative! in the. Forty-Second Con? gress from the Fourth Congressional District of this State. He likewise suggests that a meeting of delegates from the different coun? ties be held at Spsirtanburg on the 28th day of June, to select a candidate for Congressional honors. The Columbia Phoenix is authorized to an? nounce Edwabd F. Stokes, Esq., of Green? ville, as a candidate to represent the people of the Fourth District in the next Congress. His principles are Democratic. Circuit Court 'Op to this writing, the Court continues in session, and will probably hold on for several dajs. The juries were dismissed on Last Satur? day, and the time of the Court has been occu? pied this week with Equity business, a large amount of which has accumulated upon the dockets. In many cases, we believe, the parties have effected compromises, and thus obnated the necessity for long and tedious trials, thereby saving much valuable time. Judge Obe presides with his customary pa? tience and urbanity, while his distinguished ability as a jurist wins admiration on all sides. Among the visiting members of the bar, we ha re observed during the present term, Messrs. McGowan, Bust and Cothran, of Abbeville; Messrs. Tbescot and Jones, of Greenville, and Mr. Nobton, of Oconee. -?? Sunday School Celebration. In accordance with the established custom of the Baptist Sunday School of this place, the fifth Sabbath in May was duly observed by the teachers and pupils engaging in a public cele? bration, to which the friends of the cause were cordially invited. The exercises were opened with singing and prayer, succeeded by ad dnjases from Rev. Messrs. Mubbay and Bev? erly, both of which were instructive and en? tertaining. The selection of hymns for the occasion seemed apposite, and the children heartily united in rendering the music delight? ful and soul-inspiriting. We congratulate the officers of the School upon the success of the celebration, and issure them that their efforts are duly appreciated. Every fifth Sunday is , observed in this way, and we can guarantee every one, of whs.tever denomination or sect, that an hour may be pleasantly and profitably employed in atte&dance upon these exercises. -+~-. Temperance Celebration. The second anniversary of the re-organiza? tion of Anderson Division, No. 20, Sons of Temperance, was duly celebrated on Saturday I?it, according to the programme. The pro? cession was formed in front of the Division Room at eleven o'clock a. m., and headed by the Anderson Brass Band, marched to the Bap? tist CJhurch. The exercises were opened with prayer by Mr. A. B. Towers, after which short and appropriate addresses were delivered by Rev. W. D. Beverly and Rev. W. A. Hodges. The audience was largely composed of ladies, and doubtless the threatening aspect of the weather prevented a more general at? tendance. Every friend of Temperance, how? ever, was encouraged to persevere in the work of ameliorating the condition of mankind, and the reverend speakers urged the little band to greater efforts in the cause of morality and virtue, and against the evils of intemperance to be met with on every hand. After the ben? ediction was pronounced, the procession was again formed and marched back to the hall, wbi?re the members were dismissed. I The Meeting Next Monday. A call appears in another column for a meeting of the citizens of Anderson county, to he held in the Court House on Monday next, for the purpose of considering the propriety of appointing delegates to the State Convention. This meeting should be largely attended, and the question before it fully and fairly discussed. We have opposed the State Convention, but the fact that twenty-four counties have already taken action towards securing a representation in that body induces us to withdraw our oppo? sition, and we are disposed to unite with our fellow-citizens in arranging for a faithful and earnest delegation from this county. We still believe it unwise for the Convention to nomi? nate a State ticket, and are inclined to think that this view of the situation is concurred in by a majority of our political friends. Be this as it may, however, the State will meet in council on the loth instant, and Anderson should be represented. With fair deliberation and earnest discussion, we can have no fears that aught but the best interests of the State will be considered. Under these circumstances, we would urge the presence of eveiy citizen interested in devising means for the stcurity of better government at the meeting on Monday next -,-* Greenville City Club. Our neighbors, are about to inaugurate a fea? ture of pleasing importance for the social im? provement of the mountain city. We learn from the Enterprise that a number of gentle? men have organized under the name of the "City Club," and will undertake to provide for the enjoyment and entertainment of strangers sojourning in their midst Officers have been elected, and a club room secured and fitted up in an attractive style. The society trill like? wise provide newspapers and periodicals for the entertainment of their guests. The initia? tion fee is five dollars?monthly dues one dol? lar, and the membership is limited to thirty ; and every new member must receive an unani? mous vote. These are the chief points of in? terest in an organization destined to promote the welfare of visitors and to enhance the al? ready favorable reputation of Greenville for hospitality and cordiality. We desire to sug? gest, in view of the rapid strides being made by our sister town towards advancement and improvement, that Anderson is getting for be? hind in the race, and unless the vis inertia is cast aside, we may expect only retrogression in all that makes a community attractive and de? sirable. -o State Press Association. We trust that the members of the press in this State have not overlooked the actien of the Press Conference, in March last, providing for the organization of a Press Association. The weightier matters suggested on that occasion are likely to receive due consideration at the hands of the public, and we would impress our brethren with the importance of perfecting an organization for their own advantage and im? provement. It is unnecessary to define the ob? jects and scope of a Press Association, as these will be best determined by the body itself. But, in our judgment, if there was no other in? ducement than to be thrown together in a so? cial and friendly manner, this would prove suf? ficiently remunerative and advantageous to go forward with the organization. At various times, since the war closed, we have urged the propriety of such an Association, and there has been conconsiderable discussion as to its proba? ble benefits. The suggestion by the Press Con? ference met with general approbation, and we hope that every newspaper in the State will be represented. The meeting to organize a Press Association will be held in Columbia on Wednesday, 15th inst, which is the time and place appointed for the meeting of the State Convention. Savannah Valley Railroad. A meeting of the stockholders of this Road will be held at Abbeville C. H. on Wednesday next, and it is earnestly requested that all the stock be represented on that occasion, as mat? ters of great importance will be brought before the meeting. The Augusta Chronicle and Sen? tinel, in stating the call for this meeting, says that "those who have called for the revival of this project are deeply in earnest, and are de? termined to put forth all their energies to at? tain success." With this assurance, we think our people ought to enter heartily into the plans proposed, so far as they are able, and en? deavor to assist in every practical way to con? struct a line of communication destined to become both popular and profitable. The proposition to make the route from Augusta to Anderson should enlist a warm co-operation at this point, and we trust there will be a strong delegation of its original friends and support? ers at the contemplated meeting. . -? Organization of the Militia. The Radical organ reports that considerable activity prevails in the Adjutant-General's De? partment. The plan for organizing the mili? tia contemplates two Divisions, four Brigades, and fourteen Regiments. The First and Second Congressional Districts will constitute the First Division of Militia, and the Third and Fourth Congressional Districts will constitute the Sec? ond Division. Each Congressional District will form a Brigade. Anderson county will have four companies and Abbeville county will furnish six companies, to make up the 11th Regiment, 3rd Brigade. The Governor is now engaged in making appointments, and a num? ber are already announced, though none as yet for this section of country. Rather Puzzled. We were in Columbia the other week, and met up with our friend Ball, of the Laurens ville Herald, who has gazetted us upon his re? turn home in the following style. Of course, we must plead guilty to the "soft impeach? ment," and admit that we have a roving pro? pensity, especially when there is any probabil? ity of joining hands with a true and generous friend like our Laurens confrere. He is speak? ing of several members of the "press gang" then in Columbia, and in referring to the writer says: By the by, we were satisfied we would see the latter at some turn, when we left home. We have never yet failed to come up with him first or last. If any editor in this country can be at more places than one at one and the same time, it is that same editor of the Anderson Intelligencer, and we are mightily in doubt if there ain't , more than one of these "Jeemses"? clear case of the ubiquitous. i The Fenian Invasion. The telegraphic dispatch es for the past week have brought a.great deal of sensational news from the border of Canada, resulting from an? other Fenian invasion. But it has come to pass already that the movement is a dead fail? ure, and the leaders are now censured for their hasty and ill-advised conduct. The gathering hosts of Irishmen from all sections of the country at first indicated that there was a gen? eral and well-arranged effort to invade Canada successfully, but the British soldiers were con? centrated with energy and spirit, and aided by the civil authorities of the United States, the movement was speedily brought to grief. An engagement took place on Friday last, result? ing in defeat and disaster for the Fenians, and a loss of twenty killed and twenty wounded on their side. The men were demoralized, and anxious to get home. At last advices, no defi? nite plan for future operations had been agreed upon. Previous to this engagement, the Uni? ted States Marshal arrested Gen. O'Neill, who is at the head of the Fenians. He is now charged with bad faith to his followers, as it is believed that he desired an arrest by the civil authorities, and made no effort to prevent it. The men enlisted in this affair deserve our sympathy, for their confidence has been abused by their leaders, and their warm-hearted devo? tion to old Ireland has been successfully used to their own disadvantage and for the purpose of advancing the schemes of unprincipled men. Hon, F. A. Sawyer. We are again placed under obligations to Senator Sawyeb, of this State, for interesting public documents, and among them a copy of one of his recent speeches on the bill to en? force the fifteenth amendment. We have had occasion to commend Mr. Sawyer, at various times during his official career, for moderation and fairness towards his political opponents, and heretofore suggested that the Republican party might profit, in the estimation of the country, by an adherence to his just and man? ly course. His recent speeches, while strongly enough partisan and exhibiting fealty to the views so long advocated by him, are strikingly in contrast with the utterances of his political associates in this State. He is a staunch Re? publican, but nevertheless actuated by an hon? est desire to serve the people of South Carolina impartially and fearlessly. He thrusts the past behind him, and looking to the future of a re-united country, advocates measures for the amelioration and disenthrallment of the en? tire people. In this light, we commend him before our readers, and in doing so it is scarce? ly necessary to declare that, outside of fixed and irrevocable facts, we are not one whit nearer to Mr. Sawyer iu political affiliation than when he was elected to the high office he' has filled so creditably for the last two years. His conduct has been such as we have indica? ted, and we would give him just praise for such an honorable course. Another Humbug. "It never rains but it pours," and now we have a firm styled W. H. Wood & Co., 206 Broadway, New York, offering to sell counter? feit money on the most reasonable and attrac? tive terms. Their circular contains the confi? dential announcement that the receiver is "one of three persons in your State that we have addressed," and of course it is expected that the tempting bait will prove effectual, as their operations arc so limited and circumspect. This feature is the only change from 1 he ste? reotyped phrases of the whole pack of swin? dlers. We advise every one to give them a wide berth, and not be deceived by their spe? cious offers. -* The Fall Elections. The elections next fall will decide not only the complexion of the next House of Repre? sentatives in the United States Congress, but likewise, to a certain extent, the character of the Senate. Twenty Senators will be elected by the State Legislatures. Among those whose terms will expire on the 4th of March next is included Senator Robertson, of this State, whose place will have to be filled by the Legis? lature next winter. The Democrats wDl prob? ably lose one Senator in Minnesota, and gain in New Jersey, Oregon, and perhaps one or two Southern States. New and Desirable.?We have been pre? sented with sample boxes of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, a new and useful invention, which is said to be far superior to any prepara? tion now iu market. It saves flour, lard and soda in making biscuit, and corn bread contain? ing this powder has been mistaken for pound cake. At the Louisiana State Fair, a premium was awarded to the proprietor of this valuable concoction, and the highest praise has followed its introduction everywhere. We have not tested the matter thoroughly, but must declare that a single experiment produced astonishing results in the improvement of bread over the ordinary style of preparation. Our neighbor below stairs, W. S. Sharpe, is the agent for Anderson county, and will take pleasure in giv? ing further information on the subject. The trade will be supplied by him at reduced prices. -?? A Contemptible Tbick.?Under this head? ing, the Washington correspondent of the New York World relates the circumstances atten? ding the seating of Wallace from the Fourth Congressional District of this State: One of the most contemptible tricks that ever disgraced any legislative body was imposed on the House to-day by John Cessna, a member from Pennsylvania, who is well known through? out that State as one of its most unscrupulous Radical politicians. Just after the journal was read, ana when there was barely a quorum in the hall, Cessna jumped up, called up the case of Wallace against Simpson, of South Carolina, and moved the previous question on the case. The speaker quickly put it, and in less time than it takes to write this much of this dis? graceful story, Wallace was a Radical member of the House. It was plain to every one that not twenty members of the House knew in the confusion what was going on. The case had never been debated one single word?a fact in itself without precedent in the history of an election case in Congress. Even the parliamen? tary reconsideration was put and tabled at once, thus showing how sharply the game had been arranged. "Talk about election frauds in New York, said Mr. James Brooks, in a vigorous protest against tho trick that had been played, "when members are sworn into this House through fraud, and elected here on this floor;" and he went on to show that Simpson's majori? ty was over five thousand. The Democrats fought manfully for a reopening of the case, but the Radicals did not seem inclined to re? treat from the disgraceful fix into which they had been forced by this notorious Pennsylva nian.

S. J. Townsend, Esq., formerly a member of the Legislature from Marlboro, died in Jack? sonville, Florida, on the 21st. He had filled several important positions in his District. ?

Bryan, Esq., formerly of that District, now living near Waldo, East Florida, acciden? tally shot himself through both hands a short time since, losing two fingers from one hand, and one from the other.

The New York Tribune frankly admits that "the South offers one of the finest fields to European immigration to be found in the Union, and any effort to disseminate in South? ern Europe correct information touching its ad? vantages, and thus induce an increased annual accossion of foreign laborers, deserves encour? agement." ? Hon. John H. Bryan, a distinguished cit? izen of North Carolina, died at Raleigh on Thursday last. Mr. Bryan was born in New bern, in 1799, and, consequently, was in the seventy-second year of his age. He was a graduate of Chapel Hill, was a lawyer by pro? fession, and had represented his county in the State Legislature and the State in the United States Congress. ? From the Greenville Mountaineer we learn that the Radical party in that county will re? ceive no new accessions to its ranks except on probation. In this connection the Mountaineer says: "This is a wise move on the part of the Republicans; but it is a bad one for the oppo I site party, who are thus deprived of the use of I one of the sluices through which much .that [ was corrupt and unreliable was sloughed off.1 ? Over 500 families, numbering 4,500 per? sons, have been rendered destitute by a fire which has been raging in the country around Sagina, Canada, covering an area of five miles wide and thirty in length.

J Editor's Table. Southern CuLTrvATORv?The Juno number of this sterling agricultural monthly is promptly on hand, with a great variety of practical and sensible- contributions from its corps of experienced writers. The proprietors are sparing neither labor nor expense in maintaining the high standard of usefulness long since acquired by this journal. Published at Athens, Gepn by Wm. A W. L. Joses. Heabth and Hoste.?The last number of this superb family journal contains a fine portrait of the Hon. Hok.4 tio Seymour, President of the American Dairymen's As? sociation, together with a view of his home in Oneida, N. Y., a diagram of his grounds, and a brief sketch of the eminent statesman, not in his character as a statesman, but "only as the kindly and widely-informed country gen? tleman, who has devoted himself with great zeal lor some years past to rural affairs, and who has long held one of the noblest farms and most charming country estates in Central New York." Hearth and Home is published weekly in New York, and is one of the most entertaining and instructive journals in the land. Address, Pettingill, Bates A Co., 37 Park Bow, N. Y. Terms, 84.00 per year. Godey's Lady's Book.?The Jone number of this charming periodical of fashion and light literature was received a week or two ago. The older it grows the better, is the universal verdict of the fair sex. Another volume commences with the next number, and it Is a favorable time to subscribe. Published by Louis A. Godey, Phila? delphia, at $3 a year. The Old Guard.?Wo havo hastily glanced over the contents of the June number, and find it replete with in? viting stories and esnays. A leading political article asks the question, whether or not we are to have another Dem? ocratic campaign for the Presidency, and contains sugges? tive matter worthy of attention. Of course, it is from a strictly Democratic standpoint, and argues for an adhe? rence to principle or an abandonment of the name. This spirited monthly is published by Van Evbie, Horton A Co., New York. The Working Christian.?This religious and family paper has recently been removed to Charleston. Hitherto it was published at Yorkville, and has acquired an exten? sive circulation in tho State. It is the organ of the Bap? tist denomination in South Carolina, and has a wide field of usefulness among the 40,000 Baptists of this State. It is edited by Rev. Tilman B. Gai.nes, who Is assisted by Bev. Dr. Reynolds, of Columbia, and Bev. L. H. Shuck, of Charleston. This strong combination of talent and ener? gy ought to infuse new life into the enterprise, and com? mand the earnest support of every Baptist in the State. We wish it the greatest prosperity, and unlimited success in its efforts to disseminate the truth. Little Corporal.?This magazine for June has been received, and we learn that the sprightly juvenile will ap? pear next month in an enlarged and improved form. Those subscribing now will receive one number free, If they ask for it when they subscribe. One dollar a year. Published by Sewell & Miller, Chicago, Hi. The Nineteenth Century.?The June number has been received, and we have read its pages with increasing delight. Sixteen pages have been added to the magazine, making a handsome book of ninety-six pages. Besides, the "yellow cover" gives place io something neater and more appropriate?white. We would be glad to make an extended expression of our own opinion of this excellent magazine, but prefer publishing the annexed highly com? plimentary notice of it, from the columns of the New York Democrat: "One of the very best magazines ever published in the United States is the The XIX Century, published at Charles? ton, S. C There Is a life, vigor, boldness, earnestness, elasticity, comprehensibility and variety in its pages and articles very refreshing. From first to last the work is Serfect. Its pages contain some of the finest literary pro uctions of the ago, whiie its editorials evince a knowledge of men, manners and customs, nations and the laws of na? tions, greatly in contrast with many magazine articles purporting to come from the leading'statesmen and bril? liant minds of the day. There is to be found in The XIX Century the usual variety of light and heavy reading, sketches, descriptive articles, reminiscences, arguments, incidents and editorial mcntiunings?all evincing the high? est order of talent, and most excellent taste in make-up and presentation. 'The price of this worthy and most excellent magazine is three dollars and a half per year?single numbers thir? ty-five cents. We advise our readers, especially the ladies, to subscribe for it if they can afford to do so. If they would see for themselves the beauties and excellences of the work, let them enclose thirty-five cents to the publish? ers at Charleston, S. C, and they will receive a sample copy. "We should not ask people to subscribe for and help sus? tain this periodical but for its excellence, sterling merit, interesting matter, and its just claims upon the reading public, no matter whether they be North or South. The enterprise is a deserving one?and confident that it would be a welcome visitor wherever received, we earnestly com? mend it to the-attcntion of our readers and tho public gen? erally." The Citizens' Party. An article with this heading in the June number of the Nineteenth Century fully accords with the views heretofore expressed in this journal as to the policy of organizing a State ticket in the approaching campaign. We ex? tract a few paragraphs: A few of the leading Radicals, who have sense and principle left, might join such a par? ty, and about the same number of Democrats would refuse all affiliation with such a party. Our strength would not be increased at all, whilst the Radical strength would be consolida? ted and excited. If Radicals of the new party should be nominated for all the State offices, they would carry no strength with them to the Citizens' Party, for they would be denounced by their former political associates as renegades and traitors. Not one negro in a hundred would leave his League and vote for them. Instead of having a convention and organiz? ing a new party, with candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Goveraor, with the certainty of defeat in the fall elections, it seems to us the wiser policy would be to let these elections go by default, aud save our strength for the coun? ty elections. In those elections let every coun? ty manage for itself, and pursue that course which will return to the Legislature the great? est number of good and true men of tact and intelligence. If We make no opposition to the Radical State officers, the zeal of our oppo? nents will be cooled down, and we shall have less opposition in many of the counties. We want no platforms but that of opposition to bribery and corruption, extravagant and prodi? gal expenditures of money, and high crushing taxation. As to the past issues, they are dead, and never can be revived. The colored man is free and his liberties guaranteed. He is en? titled to vote and hold office, and never can be deprived of those rights and privileges here? after. The legislation of the country has plac? ed the colored man and the white man on the same basis as to equality of political and legal rights. But still tliere is suspicion of insecu? rity on the part of the colored man. This sus? picion is fostered and cherished by the unprin? cipled who are seeking office and position at their hands. They know that Othello's occu? pation is gone as soon as this feeling of inse? curity is removed. Hence sound policy re? quires that we should not keep up a fruitless opposition, that we should, not go into an elec? tion where defeat is inevitable^ or organize a new party that will avail nothing. The prin? ciples of the Democratic party are in accor? dance with the principles of our republican ovcrnment, and we never can abandon them, f we were to form a "Citizens' Party," we should have to carry into that party, for its control and government, our Democratic prin? ciples. The honest and patriotic of the Radi? cal party may and probaoly will come over to us, but we can never enlist under their corrupt banner let come what may. Tho idea of going into the Radical party with a view of controlling it is as senseless as it is dishonorable. As well might a parcel of gentlemen unite themselves with a band of bur? glars and robbers for the purpose of controlling their movements. The excitement of a politi? cal contest for State officers would be seriously prejudicial to the labor of the farmers and planters of the State, without the possibility, as we have said, of accomplishing any good. The time spent in attending public meetings, and the demoralization and excitement ot those meetings, are a great curse to the country. We might as well cast pearls before swine as to rea? son and argue at such meetings. But it will be asked, are we to fold our arms and do nothing? By no means. In every county where there is hope of success, we should endeavor to carry the elections for the Legislature and county officers, in such way as to each county shall seem best. In other respects we must have imtience and forbearance, and wait for time to oosen the hands of the leaguers and bring us relief. It is an old adage that thieves are apt to fall out and quarrel over their spoils, and then honest men get their dues. Alas I Whtitemobe.?a correspondent of the Georgetown Times, over the Signatare of "Radical Republican,'' eends that- paper the following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted with but one dissenting voice by a large and influential meeting of the Republican par? ty, held in tbat town on the 24th ult. The correspondent says "that the Republican party here desire the publication, tliat their friends, not only at home, but abroad, may see and know the estimate in which the conduct of Mr. Whittemore is held by a portion of those whose confidence he has abused." The election to fill the. vacancy in Congress took place on Tuesday last, and we trust that the Republican party have united up Capt Dunn, the oppo? sing candidate, who is a member of that party, and whose record for honesty and integrity is unquestioned. The following are the resolu? tions : : r Wheeeas, The Ex-Hon. and Rev. B. P. Whittemore, late a member of Congress from the First Congressional District of South Caro? lina, has been declared, by the unanimous vote of the United States House of Representatives, to be unworthy of a seat in that body; and, wheeeas, the said Whittemore only escaped an actual expulsion by resigning his seat. Therefore, be it resolved bj the Republican party of Georgetown County, in mass meeting assembled, 1. That having betrayed the trust committed to him; abused the confidence reposed in him, and disgraced the position to which he was exalted, for venal and mercenary puposes,heu no longer worthy of the countenance ami sop port of the Republican party. 2. That his virtual expulsion by a Congress, a large majority of whom were Radical Repub? licans, is evidence "strong as proofs of Holy Writ/' that he was guilty of the disgraceful of? fences with which he was charged, and that the action of that body was just, and should be sustained by all good Republicans. 3. That to give countenance and support to Mr. Whittemore, under these circumstances, would be to censure and condemn the action of the great leaders of the Republican party, and to justify the enemies of manhood suffrage in their assertion, that the colored people of the South are dupes and victims of unscrupulous and dishonest demagogues, and, therefore, un? fit to exercise intelligently and properly the rights and privileges of the baUot-Dox. 4. That we applaud the conduct of the Re? publican members of the House in rising above party lines to expose and punish the crimes and offences of one of its members, and thai they . are entitled to the cordial thanks of all who have the interest and perpetuity of the Repub? lican party at heart for their manly and patri? otic course. The Ninth Census.?An exchange-. gives the following information concerning the cen? sus about to be taken by the United States au? thorities : Notwithstanding our country has. since the last census was taken, been ravaged by a cruel, remorseless and devastating civil war, which, for the time being prostrated almost every branch of industry, ruined our commerce and well-nigh depleted our national treasury, the ninth census will, without a doubt, show that we have as a nation grown faster in wealth, prosperity, industry and position than in al? most any preceding ten years of our history as a nation. It will snow a far greater develop? ment in our mineral resources of communica? tion than perhaps any twenty years previous, while, savi\ in those States recently in rebellion, it will present a greater growth, a more rapid expansion and a greater improvement in agri? culture, that great source of a nation's wealth, than has ever been attained in a corresponding time in any nation on the face of the earth. Considering these facts, greater importance becomes attached to the proper and accurate taking of this census than there did to any of the eight preceding. By an act of Congress, passed May 23.1850, the United States Marshals are charged with the important duty of causing all the inhabi? tants to be enumerated, and to collect all other statistical information within their respective districts, subject to the instructions of the Sec? retary of the Interior, and to return the same to the said secretary on or before the 1st day of November next, ensuing, the work to com? mence on the first of June. Each marshal is required to separate his district into sub-divis? ions, containing not to exceed 20,000 inhabi? tants each, and to appoint to each sub-division so divided an assistant, who must, before enter? ing upon his duties, take and subscribe to an oath similar to the one taken by the marshal. The assistants are to perform the service requir? ed of them by a personal visit to each dwelling house, and to each family in the sub-di vision assigned to him, and ascertain by inquires made of some member of each family, if any one can be found capable of giving the information; but if not, then of the agent of such family, the name of each member thereof, the-age and {>lace of birth of each, and all other particu ars required, and must, in the rural districts, visit personally the farms, mills, shops, mines and other places respecting which information is required, and must obtain all such informa? tion from the best and most reliable sources. One thing worthy of the attention of the public is that, when called upon by an assistant marshal for information in regard to the num? ber, persons, ages, &c., any head of a family or agent of a family who shall refuse to give such information becomes liable to a fine of thirty dollars, to be sued for and recovered in an ac? tion of debt by the assistant for the use of the United States. Railroad Mattebs?The Columbia cor? respondent of the Daily Republican writes as follows: President Magrath and Superintendent Tyier, of the South Carolina Railroad, and President Johnston of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au? gusta Railroad, have been in our city for the past two days. Rumor has it that some imj port ant arrangements have been made to se? cure to the public increased traveling facilities. A part of the beneficial result of this meeting of the "Railroad kings" will be that the Green? ville Railroad will shortly put on a night train in addition to the present day train, by which passengers leaving Charleston by the South Carolina Railroad in the morning will reach Walhalla the next morning. The people of the up-country will no doubt be rejoiced at this, and in the distribution of thanks should kindly remember President Magrath of the South Carolina Railroad, who is heart and soul with the new management of the Greenville Road in thus joining with the iron link the up? per and lower counties of the State. President Magrath had a lengthy and agreeable interview with Gov. Scott yesterday. A new passenger depot house is about to be erected by the roads named, to be called the "Union Depot" It is a change much needed in this progressive age. -? The Fedebal Dead.?On Monday last, throughout the whole nation , the graves of the Federal dead, wherever they, lie, were decora? ted with flowers and evergreens. The Charles? ton Courier, in referring to the memorial cere? monies in that city, says : It is meet, and proper that those for whom these dead soldiers gave up their lives should hold them in grateful remembrance, and while of course our sympathies and affections were bestowed upon those who battled against the Federal soldiery, we rejoice to see the memorial custom observed. At the graves of the brave soldiers who fell on either side we should forget the bitternei-s of party feeling, and at least re? spect the ho mage paid to the memory of the dead.
