Reed has removed to Bis old stand,, where he is prepared to offer his customers and the public generally goods of every variety kept in his line at astonishingly low prices. Mr. Reed has just returned from New YoeL. Give him a call See his adver? tisement next week. o According to the assessment for taxa? tion the total value of the real and personal property in South Carolina is $168,000,000. How much of this belongs to the party run? ning the government of the State? One twentieth is about the amount. Can any man in his senses afford to support a party so cor? rupt and extravagant as the party in power. The path of duty is plain. We need economy in the management of our affairs, and let us ob? tain this needed boon by casting our votes for the Reform nominees. Bather Honest It will be seen by the card of Henry Kenne? dy, the only public radical nominee for the Legislature from this County, that he is bitterly opposed to corruption and bribery, and will use his influence to bring offenders to punish? ment. Is the necessity for reformation be? coming so apparent that it is necessary that the radical candidates have to "go for it" ? The stepping stone to such a reformation is to vote for Carpenter and Butler on the 19th inst. The Election. It will be seen by reference to another col? umn, that the Commissioners of Elections for this County have established three boxes in An? derson village. The law requires that "the Managers shall administer to each person offering to vote an oath that they are qualified to vote at this elec? tion, according to the Constitution of this State, and that they have not voted during this election." The law also provides "that the Managers are hereby authorized to appoint a Clerk to assist them in whatever duties may be required of them," and: that "each Clerk of the poll shall keep a poll list, which shall contain one col? umn, headed, "Names of Voters," and the name of each elector voting shall he entered by the Clerk in sueh column." From these provisions of the law, it will be observed that by a little watchfulness it will not be difficult to detect those who may have the hardihood to attempt to repeat their voting at different boxes, and we earnestly insist that every such offender be brought to immediate punishment. The penalty of the law for such an offence should be at once enforced. We want a fair election. Counting- the Votes. It is to be regretted that the attempted ar? rangements to have representatives present from both parties daring the counting of the votes by the Commissioners of Elections, so ut? terly failed. The palpable unfairness of the thing is too apparent not to be perceived and understood by every one, except those who will not see. Notwithstanding this failure, there is an op podainify afforded the Commissioners of Elec? tion in every County, in some measure, at least, to show a disposition of fairness, without injury to themselves or detriment to the righful inter? ests of their cause. Section 17 provides- that vThe Commissioners of Election shall meet in some convenient place at the County seat, on the Tuesday next following the election, before one o'clock in the afternoon of that day. They may appoint some competent person as Secre? tary.. The Chairman shall then proceed to ad? minister the constitutional oath to each mem? ber of the Board, as Canvassers^ and shall ad? minister the constitutional oath to the Secre? tary, and; the Secretary shall administer to the Chairman the same oath that he shall have ad? ministered, to the other members of the Board." Itseemsto us that the Commissioners of Elec? tions in every county, who are disposed in the least to fairness in this matter, ought to select a competent Secretary from the opposite party. Will it not be altogether as easy and as con? venient to find a competent Secretary from the Reform party as from the Radical party. This matter is under the control of the Com? missioners of Elections, and we shall see if ?be Commissioners in Anderson county are disposed to act fairly in even the appointment ?/? a secretary, United, We Stand. There was never a proposition the truth of which has been more thoroughly established or more frequently repeated, than that which heads this article. When as a people we fail to carry that which is right and just, it is the result of division among ourselves. There has never been a time in the history of South Caro? lina when the vital interests of our State more urgently demanded a perfect unanimity of sen? timent and action among our people. In una? nimity of action alone rests our hope of shak? ing off the shackles of a heartless oppression, and redeeming our State from its embarrass? ment and prospective ruin. Poor and destitute as we were at the commencement of Scott's ad? ministration, we have been burdened with an onerous and enormous tax, the great propor? tion of which is expended in paying utterly useless officers large salaries. By a careful ex? amination of the figures in the address of Gen. Conner, it will be found that the accounts of various parties with the State fail to balance by thousands of dollars. Yet this plunder is not even checked by those in authority, and if Scott and his party are re-elected to office, and continue to control the State, what its financial condition may be in the next two or four years it is impossible to conjecture. From every section in the lower part of the State the intelligence comes to us, "we can and will succeed in the coming election if the up? per part of the State will only do her duty." If the white people in the lower counties, with the colored element who have united with them feel hopeful of success, and are working vigor? ously to that end, surely in this section we could need no stronger encouragement. The contest involves no great political principles, but it is a contest for retrenchment and honesty against extravagance, plunder and dishonesty. The material interests of every tax-payer, both white and colored, in South Carolina, demands a reformation. Nay, more than this, the suc? cess and prosperity of every laboring man in the State greatly depends upon such a reforma? tion as thatso earnestly sought by our standard bearers. In Anderson county we should not be content with a bare majority, but should poll every vote possible for Carpenter and Butler. We should allow no mere preferences or favor? ites for offices of minor importance to divert us for a single moment from the great issue. If the nominees in every instance are not what the people would desire, we invoke our people, by the recollections of the past, by the prospects of the future, and by the demands of every principle of right, of honor, and of jus? tice, not to allow themselves to be moved in in? terest or effort in the only hope for the redemp? tion of South Carolina from the control of ad? venturers and scalawags. No aspiration for office, no hunting for positions of profit, (for we believe there are none of special honor,) should induce any of our people to lose sight of the great interests at stake, in this cam? paign. While no great political issues are involved in the race, yet the lines of the contest are so clearly drawn that it is impossible for any to occupy a position of neutrality. "He that is not for me, is against me," is a truth which ad? mirably applies to every citizen of the State in this contest. It is- impossible to be neutral. We are either in favor of the administration as it is, or we desire to see it changed. If favor? able to the former, then are we the supporters of Scott and his party ; and if opposed to the administration of its affairs, then we are the advocates of a change in those who fill high places in our State. Our people should be care? ful that they are not deceived by the subtle ar? guments of those who profess to be indifferent to these great interests, but in truth think it impolitic to publicly identify themselves with either party. Such "running with the hare I and holding with the hounds" should be dis? countenanced and discouraged by every good citizen. Are such men entitled to the confi? dence and support of cither party ? Surely we want men?decided men?for office in times like the present. Those who are actuated more from motives of policy than principle, are unworthy to be entrusted with the manage? ment and control of our public affairs. Those who profess to occupy positions of neutrality in the campaign expect to do either one of two things. They expect by such a course of pol? icy to deceive both parties and secure their votes, ox else they have made private arrange? ments for securing certain influences, but are unwilling and think it impolitic to sail under fair and open colors. In such cases is it not apparent to every thinking man that the office, with its emoluments, and that only, is the thing which they are after, and that they are willing to obtain office under any colors. Many are deterred from an active interest in these things by the conviction that success is impossible. Why is it impossible? It is true that the Scott party have charge of the ballot box, and under the infamous law passed at the last session of the Legislature, these Commissioners of Election have the right to fix the place for voting, receive the votes cast at different places, then count and destroy them, their certificates being the evidence of the re salt of the election. It is true thnt about one third of the Commissioners of Election were members of the last Legislature, and most of them aspirants for re-election to office. It is true that every effort has been made by the Re? form party to secure a fair and honest count of votes, all to no purpose. Notwithstanding all these disadvantages, if our people arc true to themselves we can succeed. The condition of North Carolina two or three months ago was deplorable?many of her people driven from home and imprisoned?yet by a vigorous and united effort, that State has been redeemed, and its "plundering gang" will be forced to find shelter elsewhere. If North Carolina was car? ried by such a majority under such circum? stances, it is only necessary for every citizen of this State to stand together and do our whole duty, and success is our.". "United wo stand, divided we fall." ? Accounts from the cotton-growing regions of the South, especially in Louisiana, are more favorable than they have been for years, and an unusually large crop at the coming picking is predicted. There is much difficulty experienced regarding the difference between employers and colored laborers,, and to stimulate the latter the expectation is encouraged that wages will be increased during the coming season. The planters in the Southwest are greatly encour? aged at the crop prospect, and it is asserted that the cotton crop is wholly free from worms. In view of the labor complications many of the procure Fair Play in the Election. The assurance given by Scott and Pansier to the Executive Committee of the Reform party, of their disposition to provide for a fair, honest and satisfactory election, had induced the hope that a Joint Committee would be appointed to see a fair count of the ballots on the 19th inst. This hope, however, is blasted, as Scott will make no arrangements to make it efficacious or practical. We presume that the radical party can not afford to make an arrangement so fair and honest. Major Siebels, in his card pnb lished on the 7th instant, says: The Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Union Reform Party exceedingly re? grets to announce to the public, that the efforts on the part of the Committee to secure fair play in the coming election, have been fruitless. We were confident, at one time,# that, our re? quests being so reasonable and fair, there would be no objection; but there is evidently strenu? ous opposition to any one of the Reform Party being present with the boxes from the time the polls open until the votes are counted out. Un? less this arrangement is made in some of the Counties, we are credibly informed, by both Republicans and Reformers, that wc will not get a fair count. It is evident, from the very fact that some of the Commissioners refuse to consent to this arrangement, that they intend if necessary to operate with the votes to our loss. Near or quite one million of dollars directly or indirectly are at stake in this contest; the temp? tation is too great, and no three men of any one party should be subjected to it. If a customer orders fifty pounds of sugar or coffee of his groeer, the grocer refuses to weigh it out because you are present, it is almost proof positive that he intends to cheat you if he can, and just so we regard this vote count? ing The Governor and Mr. Ransier are very pro? fuse in their expressions of a desire for us to have fair play, but when you come to reduce this matter to something tangible and practi? cable, it is explained away so you can't find it. Some are told it is a matter they can't con? trol, it rests with the Commissioners, and it would not do to cast any reflections upon them or their honesty, &c, &c. It is very well known to everybody that Governor Scott and Mr. Ransier occupy just such a position with their party, that any advice given by them in good faith would be implicitly obeyed by the Mana? gers and Commissioners. Look Out for Fresh Voters. The Charleston Courier, has received from a responsible source a letter from which it pub? lishes the following extract: Editors Charleston Courier?Dear Sirs: I saw to-day, several gentlemen from Robeson County, North Carolina, who told me that several hundred colored persons left that State within the last day or two, with the ostensible purpose of working on Railroads in this State. The impression is very general that they are being moved with a view of giving the Radicals a lift here, in the approaching election. As the time is now short, I thought it advisable to send this information to you. I hope you will sound an alarm at once, and put everybody on the qui vivc for an operation of this kind." It behooves our people in every part of the State to be upon the watch to prevent such il? legality in voting in the approaching election. A residence of one year in South Carolina is a leading qualification of every voter, and each and every voter is required to swear that he is qualified. While this remedy is provided, and it will be comparatively easy to detect fraudu? lent and illegal voting, yet it is far better to prevent than to cure. North Carolina has shaken off the fetters of Holden & Co., and we suppose that the uneasiness of Scott and his party makes them anxious to import a few assistant votes from North Carolina. Let us have a fair election. -?> The True Issues of the Canvass. We publish upon our first page the able and stirring address of Gen. James Conner, of Char? leston, delivered at Camden on Monday, 3rd inst. In this addresa the financial administra? tion of the Scott party is clearly presented, and requires no special effort to foresee the utter bankruptcy of our State and people under such an administration of its affairs. The character and ability of Gen. Conner is known to the people of South Carolina, and will, we are satisfied, insure a careful perusal of his able exposition of the extravagance and rascality of the Scott "gang." Read the ad? dress yourself and read it to your neighbors, and if you want to stop such waste and plunder, go to the polls on the 19th instant and vote the Reform ticket. ? Judge Carpenter addressed an immense mass meeting at Chester, on the 5th instant. About fifteen hundred present, including about five hundred colored voters. The meeting was enthusiastic and passed off quietly. Wimbush making no efforts to create a disturbance. ? The New York Times, a leading Republi? can paper says: The fact is, we believe, that, outrageous as the conduct of Southern mal? contents has been in various districts, there has not been one case in which the matter has been enquired into, in which the reports of the news? papers and politicians have not been found grossly exaggerated, and in which even the ac? tual result, in the way of "outrages," have not ' been made up by attributing all crimes, of which the origin was unknown, to one cause. ? The Edgcficld Advertiser says: A com? pany of United States troops is to be quartered in our town before the election! Not satisfied with his wholesale system of plunder and rob? bery, Scott has commenced a system of mili? tary tyranny that has scarcely ever been sur? passed. But not even the presence of the whole United States army will deter a single white man in Edgcficld District from voting on the 19th. ? Two years ago, w:hen Governor Scott went into office, the people of this State were bank? rupt; the planter had neither stock nor agri? cultural implements, nor even seed, and the la? borer was without food. The liabilities of the State were $9,000,000; they haye been increas? ed more than $10,000,000. ? Governor Scott was applied to officially by the Union Reform Executive Committee to ap? point one of our party in each County. He declined. Of the ninety-three appointed, twenty-four are members of the present infa? mous Legislature ; a large majority of them are candidates, and they are all, with insignificant exceptions, the corrupt tools of the present dis? graceful administration. ? The German papers announce that the French prisoners of war are not to be all con? fined in fortresses; as many of them as possi? ble will be employed in executing public works, just as Napoleon I used the Germans who hud fallen into his hands to construct new roads. The directors of the Royal Upper Silcsian Rail? way have been already requested to state how many of these prisoners they can take to aid in building the new lines from Breslau to Strehlan, and from Posen to Thorn and Bromberg. ? The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that where business men had on hand on the 1st of October, any amount of blauk receipts with two cent stamps imprinted thereon, they can be allowed to exchange them for equal value of revenue stamps of any de? nomination they may select. This action is caused by the law, which went into efTect on the 1st of October, abolishing stamps on re? ceipts, j For the Anderson Intelligencer. To Messrs. John Wilson, independent candi? date for the State.Senate, and W. D. Wilkes and' Wm. Perry, candidates for the House of Representatives. Gentlemen: In the issue of the Anderson Intelligencer, of the 27th of September, you were respectfully requested by "Many Voters" to announce to the public in the next issue of the Intelligencer your political opinions, and to answer categorically which of the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor will receive your votes in the coming election. The people of this country have always be? lieved, and no one before has ever had the temerity to controvert the proposition, that in this republican government, where the people elect their representatives to enact laws for them, that the representatives are the servants of the people, and have no power or authority other than that delegated to them by the peo? ple ; and they have still further believed, and their authority has never before been questioned, that the people have a right, not only to en? quire into the political opinions, but to instruct those seeking to represent them in our General Assembly. But you, gentlemen, ignore in toto this es? tablished and unquestioned right of the people, in refusing defiantly to answer a question of the most vital interest to the people, and one propounded to you by a large number of the respectable and intelligent voters whom you are seeking to represent. Who constituted you an exception to this established principle? What right have you to claim special exemption frcm being cate? chised ? Who granted you this peculiar immu? nity, never before recognized ? and by what authority do you arrogate to yourselves this "higher-law" principle ? The ballot-box will answer these questions, vindicate the authority of the people and indignantly rebuke the arro? gance of the usurper. You may, gentlemen, have reasons of your own for the course you pursue. What those reasons are, I do not pretend to affirm. You cannot, certainly, believe that such a course will promote your interests with the large mass of respectable and intelligent while voters. I cannot say what private understanding you may have with the Radical party, but it does strike me, as I think it will all honest and fair minded men, who are not versed in the lricks of politicians, that your course does not com? mend itself to the confidence of either party. Whatever reasons may have dictated 6uch a line of policy, it cannot but result in your de? feat. But I will tell you, gentlemen, what it may accomplish : you may so for succeed in dividing the vote of the Reform party as to enable the Leaguers, who are thoroughly drilled and disciplined, to take advantage of our con? dition, and put their own candidates forward on the day of election and to elect them. Such a result I do not believe you desire, but for which you would be clearly responsible. ONE OF "MANY VOTERS." ITEMS-EDITORIAL AND OTHERWISE. ? Beanregard's presence in Franceis denied. ?

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the physical strength and animal spirits give way, and a strange torpor falls alike on the body and intellect. There is little or no pain, perhaps, but the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous and muscular system seems to have departed, and an indifference to the pleasures of life, and even of its grave responsibilities, takes the place of that earnest in? terest in both which characterizes every well balanced mind when in a healthy eondition. This state of partial collapse is often the premonitory symptoms of some serious malady, it indicates unmista? kably that the vital powers are languishing and need a stimulant. In such cases the effect of a few doses of Hos tettcr's Stomach Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic wakes up the system from its drowse. The secretions aud the circulation receive a new impetu. The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under the operations of the specific, like the slackened strength of a musical instrument in the process of tuning. Lethargy and debility are replaced by energy aud vigor, the spirits rise, uiid lite that almost seemed a burden while the season of depression lasted, becomes once more enjoyable. That such a radical chauge should be produced by a remedy en? tirely devoid of the powerful alkaloids and minerals so extensively used in modern practice, may seem incredible to those wfio pin their faith ou the medicinal cllicacy of active poisons, but if these skeptics will take the trouble to enquire of those who have tested the corrective aud alterative virtues of the Bitters under the circumstances described, they will find the statement to be true.
