KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. Oa the 17th day of March, 1S70, Judge James L. Orr was interviewed, by a co-respondent of the New York Tribune^ and gave utterance to the following severe denunciation of the- Rad? ical party, with which he is-now associated: '?ThB results of the last three years have sat? isfied the-people that all the present evils of j which they complain might have been averted by showing to the colored voters that they intend to maintain their new rights. Largo numbers of the best men in South Carolina are even now willing to espouse Republican principles, and would doubtless do so but for the distrust which, as gentlemen of character and intelligence, they naturally entertain toward those who, by accident? al circumstances, have been placed in the lead of | the Republican parly?men who do not, and never did enjoy publie confidence ; men who are ignorant, corrupt, dishonest and unfit, bg reason of their earlg associations, for decent society.? They were adroit enough, however, to make the more ignorant among the negroes believe them to be their best friends, and by employing all the arts of the demagogue, and an unscrupulous use of disgraceful agencies, they succeeded in being elected to the most important offices in the State." Circuit Court. The September term, of the Circuit Court for Anderson,county wi 11 commence its sittings at this place on; Monday next. Read the advertisement of M. Lesser, who has just retumed'from New York with a large and tasteful selection of- goods adapted to the season. Then give Lesser a call, and he will show you "how to get your money back." Among the specimens of the present year's growth forwarded to this office,, none have proved more striking in outward appear? ance than a mammoth Peat sent to us a few days ago by Mr. M.. A. Sn ipes. It weighed two pounds, and belongs to the Bell variety. Our friend will be pleased to accept thanks. In recording the proceedings of the re? cent County Convention, an unfortunate error was committed in reference to the name of the colored man who was nominated for Represen? tative. Over his own signature, James Miner? the correction; is made in another column, and also his political record is properly set forth before the people. ?-o The Chester Reporter. EvC. McClure, Esq., has sold his interest in this valuable pape^to John A. Bradley,jr., who will in future have entire control of the estab? lishment.. We hope "Ned" will find peace and happiness in his retirement from the vexations cares of newspaper life, and likewise eiflfer friend Bradley our best wishes for continued success. ?-1 Union Reform Mass Meeting. Wo nee it stated that there will be a mass meeting of the Union Reform party held at the Court House of each County in the State, on Saleday in October next. Prominent Speak- j era will be invited and are expected to he pres? ent in each County. We are informed that the Hon. A. P. Aldrich, of Barnwell, has been invited to address the citizens of Anderson County on the day mentioned, and we hope to Bee an immense gathering at this place. -;-it* -'? Municipal Affairs. The Town Council elected on the 12th inst. were duly installed' into office on Monday last. Immediately after their installation, a meeting was held at the office of the Intendant? J. Scott Murray, Esq.-- The former Clerk, &r. W. H. Nardin, was re-elected to the position he has filled for the past two years. 0. H. P. Fant, Esq.,-was also re-elected Cotton Weigher for the ensuing year, and the Town Marshal, Mr. New? ton Scott, was requested to continue in the dis? charge of. the duties of his office for the present. A full statement of the receipts and expendi? tures of the municipal authorities for the past fiscal year is published in another column. Agricultural Fair; The Executive Committee of the Anderson Farmers" Association met on Tuesday hist, agreeable to the call made by the Chairman last week. The attendance of members was truly gratifying, and illustrates the interest in the approaching Fair. After a free interchange of"optoiwas, it was agreed to hold - the Fair on the 2nd, 3rd and'4tb days of November next, which will be Wednesday, Thursday and Fri? day. Arrangements were made to offer a Pre? mium List of greater length and attractiveness than last year, and it is expected that this will be done in time for our next issue. Every one interested in the advancement and prosperity of the Farmers' Association should set to work earnestly to make the coming exhibition worthy of the cause, and thus promote the aims and objects of the society. Farmers, upon your exertions will depend the success of the Fair, und we may confidently hope to witness a large? ly increased interest upon the subject of agri pu^ture and its kindred arts. Is it Republicanism ? Of course, we arc not responsible for the ut? terances of correspondents, -and ordinarily they are,allowed. expression through "our columns without comment. But an esteemed friend and ?political ally in to-day's paper assumes, among other things, that the platform of the Union Reform party is virtually a Republican plat? form, and therefore in contradiction to the teachings of the Democratic party, and that whosoever acts with the Reform party forsakes Democracy. Such is not our understanding of the Union Reform movement, and wc would briefly controvert this position. In the last Presidential campaign, the Democracy oppos? ed the reconstruction acts and negro suffrage guaranteed thereunder. But the election of Grant decided these issues, and under his ad? ministration Reconstruction has been comple? ted. Subsequently, the adoption of the Fif? teenth Amendment as a part of the Constitu? tion was an addition settlement of negro suf? frage. The Union Reform party accepts these results as a finality, and this is clearly in con? sonance with the Democratic party wherever it has spoken authoritatively during ihn last six months. The Democracy of Ol?o and New York, to say nothing of other States have ig? nored these questions altogether; the Demo? cratic members of Congress in their able ad? dress to the people of the United States advised against the revival of "dead issues;" the New York World and the Louisville Courier-Journal have persistently advocated the recognition of what has been done as "accomplished facts," not to be disturbed again ; the Kansas Democ? racy only last week pursued an identical course in their State Convention; and we might con? tinue to enumerate instances to show that the Democratic party is not inimical at this time to the political privileges bestowed by the Repub? lican party upon the negro voters. These ques? tions are obsolete, and will not again be dragg? ed into American politics except by the Radical party, which has thrived, only upon this agita? tion ; and when it is clearly eliminated from the political arena, the Radical party will fall asunder upon other more vital issues, on which its members have never agreed. But aside from all this recognition by the Democracy of "accomplished facts," the Union Reform movement was inaugurated for a special purpose, local in its character, and entirely foreign to Federal politics. The extravagance, corruption and misrule of the State adminis? tration for the past two years awakened an in? terest among all parties, Democrats and Repub? licans, as to the means to be employed in over? throwing the men who had wielded power for personal aggrandizement, and who had prosti? tuted public trusts to their own selfish ends. Honest men everywhere demanded a correction of these abuses, -and it was necessary to frame an organization by which both Democrats and Republicans might work harmoniously together iin the pursuit ?f this laudable object. The Republican party embraced a majority of the voters, and it was essential to induce at least a portion of that party to unite with their politi? cal opponents in this effort to bring about re? formation' and place more worthy men in public position. Li order to secure this co-operation between political antagonists, the June Con? vention organized the Union Reform movement upon a platform alike acceptable to Democrats and Republicans. We admit that this was a difficult task, but the wisdom of that Conven? tion was equal to the emergency, and such a platform was presented to the people of South Carolina. Upon this compromise between Re? publicans and Democrats, in which neither for? feited their allegiance to the great national par? ties, but were solely intent upon reform and retrenchment in our domestic affairs, the Con -vention nominated a Republican candidate for Governor and a Democratic candidate for Lieu? tenant Governor. To our mind, this course was eminently proper and perfectly reconcila? ble with the objects of the Union Reform move? ment. It is not an abandonment of the Demo? cratic party by those formerly acting with that national organization, and it is neither expec? ted that Republicans co-operating n> this move? ment will forsako their party upon political is? sues nor abate their zeal for one moment in behalf of what they deem Republican princi? ples. The only issues in this campaign are. honesty against dishonesty?cheap, economical government against exorbitant taxation?re? duction of public expenses against extravagant expenditure of the people's money?responsi? bility of officials for the faithful discharge of their duties against irresponsibility, selfishness and greedy absorption of power. To accom? plish its worthy ends, the Union Reform party i invites men of all political creeds, who desire a faithful, economical and honest administration of public trusts. -~* Progress of the Campaign Encouraging. Only four weeks remain in which to work for the success of the Union Reform move? ment, and wc would urge upon every citizen opposed to the past abuses of the State govern? ment, and in favor of Retrenchment and Re? form, to put his shoulder to the wheel, and endeavor to secure victory and its consequent blessings-. It is. not alone sufficient that the good citizen should wish success to be achieved, but it is necessary that every one should seek to influence his neighbors and friends to add their strength to the cause. The sub-commit? tees of the Union Reform party ought to be diligent and active from now until the day of election, and so perfect their arrangements in every township jus to bring out to the ballot box every voter who is identified with the movement. Let the vote for Carpenter and Butler be swelled to the highest possible num? ber, and thus aid to our utmost extent in the redemption of the State An overwhelming majority in Anderson county will counterlial ance the majority for Scott in some of the lower counties. The citizen remaining away from the polls virtually aids the Scott King to that extent, and this alone is sufficient induce? ment to poll the heaviest vote in favor of the Reform candidates. If you condemn Scott's administration, exhibit your condemnation in the only effective way, by exercising your right as a citizen at the ballot-box. Away with apathy and indifference, if these evils are upon you, and work cnegetically in behalf of this earnest movement to secure a better Stale gov? ernment. Success will not be attained without persistent endeavor and unremitting efTort. Discharge the duty incumbent upon good citi? zens, ami we believe a complete triumph will ensue. Judge Carpenter and General Butler I have faithfully and effectively performed the work allotted to them, and have traversed the State from the mountains to the seaboard, ex? posing the corruptions and abuses of the Scott Ring, and boldly denouncing the profligacy and oppressions of our present rulers. It re? mains for the masses to discharge their duty equally well, and a glorious victory awaits them. The signs are truly encouraging. Not only through the newspapers and public speech? es are we advised that there is a splendid hope of success, but private information from seve? ral counties in the middle country induces us to believe that Carpenter and Butler will be elected. The white and colored people at last are beginning to understand each other, and in many counties where the blacks have the ma? jority, they are uniting with their white neigh? bors upon the Union Reform platform in large numbers. Heretofore, we have not been alto? gether sanguine of success, but the evidences before us make it clear that a full and unani? mous vote of the white people, united with their colored allies, will bring about the great change in our affairs so much desired by every honest citizen. It is imperative, however, that we should give the largest possible majorities in the upper counties, and it is this lesson.we would impress- upoa the sub-committees and upon all the advocates of the Union Reform movement. Georgia Agricultural Fair. We are in receipt of a circular stating that the Georgia State Agricultural Society will hold their Sixteenth Annual Fair in Oglethorpe Park, two miles from the city of Atlanta, on the double track of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, commencing on the 19th of October next, and which will probably continue for ten or fifteen days. The grounds are said to be elegantly prepared for the purpose, well watered and otherwise adapted. The Premium List embraces $25,000 in premiums to be offered. The citizens of Atlanta offer a special premium of $2,000 for the fastest trotting horse and $500 for the second best?both "open to the world." In view of this Fair, which is intended to be a grand exhibition of American industry, the Society has adopted a resolution extending to "citizens of the North, West and East a cordial invitation to meet their brethren of the South at said Fair, to exchange friendly greetings, to exhibit stock, agricultural implements and other articles of home industry, and thus pro? mote the material interests of all sections." The railroads are offering considerable advan? tage by reduced rates of passage, and prepara? tions are being made on the most extensive scale to accommodate visitors. A new and grand hotel is now being erected in Atlanta, which will contain 317 rooms, exclusive of offi? ces, which with five large hotels now in opera? tion, besides numerous private boarding houses and five hundred tents to be erected in the ? Park, warrant the expectation that at least 100, 000 guests can be properly cared for during this interesting occasion. The bare statement of these gigantic preparations is sufficient to show the energy and spirit of our neighbors across the Savannah. Sandy Springs. For a long series of years, this has been a noted place among the Methodists of this up country especially. The old-time campmcetings will never be forgotten by those whose good fortune it has been to attend them. For the last several years, the meetings have been con? fined to the ordinary protracted services, with? out any attempt at inaugurating a camp for the occasion. But the present year it was deemed advisable to re-establish the ancient custom, and accordingly the hospitable citizens of that neighborhood proceeded to repair the old quar 1 ters and erect new, substantial tents to accom? modate themselves and their friends. The meeting began on Friday last, and when we reached the ground on Saturday evening, there was an immense crowd assembled. On Sun-> 'day, extra trains were run from Anderson and Walhalla, and every highway and by-way brought its quota to make up one of the largest assemblages it has been our privilege to mingle with for many days. It is. estimated that over two thousand people were present ou the Sab? bath. Able and effective sermons were deliv? ered by Revs. W. A. Hodges, Traywick, Bow 1 man and others during our stay from Saturday night until Monday morning. Good order pro vailed, as a general rule, and we arc rejoicedto know that much interest was being manifested in the services. The meeting probably closed yesterday. . ? Republican County Convention. In the last number of the South Carolina Re? publican, issued from Columbia, we observe a call for a County Convention of the Radical party, emanating from Henry Kennedy, Chair? man for Anderson county- It is therein pro? posed to hold a Convention of delegates from the various townships in the town of Anderson on Saturday next, 24th of September, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Leg? islature aud for County offices. We sincerely hope that this Convention will be held, and that it will put forth a ticket to represent the Radical party in the present can? vass. The Union Reform ticket is now before the people, and we would like to see a fair and square contest. Great hopes have been enter? tained that a recent distinguished accession to the Radical party in this community, Judge Orr, would have an immense influence- upon the political status of Anderson county. For the Union Reform party, we will express a desire to sec the lines distinctly drawn, that these ex? uberant hopes of the Radical leaders may be proven in the only practicable way, namely, by an appeal to the ballot-box. If Judge Orr has such au unbounded influence and popularity in this region, let the issue be made without doubt, and wc are entirely willing to abide the result. Clear the field, and let there be an undoubted test as to whether or not the Radical party has gained strength among the masses. For the Anderarm Intelligencer. A Card. Having been urged by many of my friends to accept the nomination for a scat in the House of Representatives of the next Legislature, I take this method of informing my friends that I accept the nomination as au independent candidate, and if elected to the position, will serve the interest of the county and State, to the best of my knowledge and ability, without regard to party. Very Respectfully. WILLIAM PERRY. Congressional Nominating Convention. j A call appears in our columns to-day for a Congressional Convention to be held in Colum? bia on Tuesday next, 27th of September; for the purpose of nominating a candidate to represent this Congressional District in the 42nd Con? gress. It is desirable that Anderson should be represented on that occasion, and we trust that measures will be taken to have delegates pres? ent. In our judgment, the Convention when as? sembled should place in the field none other than an eligible candidate ; and if no one thus qualified can be found who is acceptable and worthy in every other respect, fhe Convention would do harm to the Union Reform .move? ment by embarassing it with an ineligible can? didate. It is better to allow the Congressional election to go by default, altogether eschewing Federal politics, than to re-enact the folly of the last campaign. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Mr. Editor : There are some of the good citizens of Anderson county that are a little doubtful about the negro labor we performed in our nominating convention, but I cannot see how any one in'accord with the Union Reform party, and wishes Carpenter and Butler to suc? ceed in the election, can say anything in oppo? sition to negroes holding office, if they are qualified to fill the position. Have wc not taken the negro plank in our platform, and thereby pledged ourselves to that policy ? The Scott party is very industrious teaching the ne? groes that wc are not friends to them, and that our party is Democracy in disguise, and will not do for the negro that which we are pledged to do. Any party that is struggling into exist? ence is forced to try new experiments, and I believe to give the negro office is good policy; and the above policy will show to the negro that we are going to act in good faith by get? ting on the Republican platform. We call ourselves Union and Reform, and a very appro? priate name it is, too. Carpenter says that no man becomes a Republican by voting for him, and no man becomes a Democrat by voting for Butler, which is a political puzzle, if we take in? to consideration the platform they are running on. As we arc on that platform, let us act in good faith, and do that which we have declared to the world we would do. Then we will cease to give the Scott party a handle with which to work against u3; prove to the negro that we arc his friends, and affiliate with him in an un mi.>takablc way. It will certainly be safe to do so, as the whites in this county have such a majority as to prevent the negro from monopo? lizing the offices. But we must consider that they have a large majority in the State, and that majority has been used to corrupt the gov? ernment and oppress the people; and we will never get out of the difficulty until we can af? filiate with them so as to secure their votes. ; We must do that by giving them all their po? litical rights, including the right to hold office, and by fair and honest dealing with them on our farms. And just here I will give you a plan pursued by me this year with the few la? borers, white and colored, in my employment. I hire them by the month ; cngtige for so many mouths at a time At the end of every week I have a settlement with them ; they can recol? lect all the provisions received during the week and the price of it, and can compute it; they know how much a week's work is worth. I settle with them, and tell them how much I owe them or they owe me, and they arc satisfied I do them justice. , It also serves to check them in taking up more than they can pay for. Wc should use every prudent means to gain the negro vote at the coming election. Vote for the nominees, and avoid a split in our ranks. Keep up our courage, and let no man say he believes Sco'tt will be elected. I do not believe it, and if you do, keep that belief to yourself. It is time enough to hollow when you arc whipped. Work for success, because it is success or ruin with the proporty-holdcrs and laborers, white and colored. L. N. Cvffee Creek, S. C. ?-.-o For the 'Anderson Intelligencer. WiLUAMSTO>r, S. GL, Sept. 19th, 1870. Mr. Editor : I wish to correct a misunder? standing, which represents me as Miner Crawford. My name is James Miner. At the same time I feel it my duty as a candidate for the Legislature of Anderson County, to express my sentiments through your paper. I attached myself to the Democratic party as soon as it was organized after the war, and la? bored earnestly in opposition to the Radical hosts, composed of carpet-baggers and scala? wags throughout the State of South Carolina, ! in the last Presidential election. I have since had no cause to regret my course, and to-day I stand upon the platform of the Union Reform party. This has been my former political po? sition, and the old Democratic party of South 1 Caroinro having formed a new platform which accords to my race equal political rights, I wil? lingly and earnestly go with them, and as a candidate before the people ?f Anderson Coun? ty, if elected, shall faithfully endeavorto? exe? cute the principles contained in it. The Union Reform party acknowledges the Fifteenth Amendment, and its additional Acts, to be accomplished facts, and pledges the party to the equal civil and political rights of my . race. It gives the right of suffrage to all men that have the qualification of honesty and in? tegrity. The character of the men in it, proves the sincerity of the party. If the colored peo? ple will but come forward and join the party of honesty, which is the Reform party, they live in pence and prosperity, if not, they sow discord in the land, and entail ultimately ruin and dis? tress upon themselves and their posterity. Respectfully, * JAMES MINER. -4? For the Anderson Intelligencer. Mit. Editor : I see my name used in your columns, recommending me as a candidate for County Commissioner?a position not of my own seeking. In justification of myself, and for the general satisfaction of my frienda, I de? clare myself an independent candidate KENON BREAZEALE. Sept. 20th, 1870. ? It is stated that at tho battle of Mnrs-la Tour the blood of Germany was spilt like wa? ter within a few moments by the unexpected unmasking of a mitrailleuse batten-. It was there that the Prince of Preus-s and tho flower of the. Prussian nobility fell in desperate but unavailing efforts tostorm theposition on which these novel and fearful engines were placed. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Belton,.S.C., Sept. 13,1870. Mr. Editor : We desire to replace the name of our worthy, friend, J. T. King, before the people as a candidate for School Commissioner. This we do with the purest motives, in consid? eration of his merits as a gentleman and one having greater claims on the people than any other yet presented. We would like to endorse what the Convention has done, but cannot in this respect. We have not yet seen Mr. King since his withdrawal, but can assure him, if he will accept, A Liberal Support. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Declination. Williamston, Sept. 14,1870. Editor Intelligencer: I see my name announc? ed as a candidate for County Commissioner. I would respectfully decline to suffer my name used, as I expect to support the regular nomi? nees of the Reform Convention. Respectfully, D. L. DONNALD. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Townville, S. C, Sept 12, 1870. Mr. Editor : We cannot subscribe to the wishes of the Convention in every respect, but think the election of county offices should be left strictly to the people. Therefore, we re nominate our esteemed friend, Joseph T. King, as a candidate for School Commissioner. Hop? ing he will reconsider and accept, we subscribe MANY VOTERS. The Exhibition of the Age.?The name of Col. C. T. Ames, coupled with exhibitions of rare merit and costly equipments, has be? come a national celebrity, says an exchange. Throughout every portion of the country, and in every city, town and village, he has a repu? tation superior to that of any other manager, and young and old are assured that when his bills are displayed they will not be disappointed anticipating a display of the rarest and most recherche arenic performances ever presented beneath a pavilion. We are now simply alluding to the Eques? trian, Gymnastic and general acts of the "Olym paid," .which, however, only constitute one fea? ture of the gigantic exhibition he has organiz? ed for the present season of 1870. This de? partment has been perfected with the most scrupulous care, and, it is not too much to as? sert, embodies more arenic ability in the shape of Equestriennes, Horsemen, Acrobats, Gym? nasts Clowns, Danscuscs, Ethiopian Comedians and general performers, than auy other Circus in America, or, we may say, the world. The magnificent stud of horses and the Lili putian performing ponies, after being selected for beauty, symmetry and sagacity, have un? dergone an education which none but the most experienced maitre dc cheval can conceive. The accoutrements, paraphernalia, costumes, trappings and appointments arc in a style of splendor to fascinate the eye, while the per? formances captivate the senses of wonder and admiration, and parry the imagination to the classic Athenian and Olympic games. Heroic daring and dazzling show are com? bined with sparkling comedy and Attic wit, and thus the arena is a focus of attraction to beguile, charm and exhilarate, while all that is unseemly, coarse or vulgar is banished from its precincts.
