He has filled the offfee of Bishop for eighteen years, and had been a.resident of this State for the last twen? ty-five years. Bishop Davis was a native of North Carolina. sr. .-- Election of Steward. At a meeting of the Board of County Oom missioners, held on Saturday last, we learn that Mr, John M. Brown was elected Steward o? the Poor House for the ensuing year. Atf'the same time, Dr. PL- AL WIfhite was chosen as Physician, to the Poor House. Heavy Fall of Snow. This sectron was visited on Thursday last by a heavy fall of mow, averaging five inches in depth. We do not remember to have ever wit? nessed so deep a snow at this season of the year. Snow-balling and rabbit-hunting was the. order of the day for Friday, and the boys enjoyed. the presence of this unusual visitor with much gusto. Southern Cultivator. The December number of this time-honored representative of the agricultural community has been received, and we find its pages laden as usual with instructive and entertaining mat? ter. Now is the time to renew subscriptions for another year, and we m?ke the customary; announcement that we will send the Intelligen? cer and the Southern Cultivator one year for $4.00. Send in the names and money. "The Commencement at Reidvilie. We learn that the Commencement of the Female College at Reidvilie, in Spartanburg Co a nty, passed off with great credit. Ander? sorr was'well represented in the persons of Misses Jennie Rosamond and LnlaTodd, whose compositions elicited the highest encomiums from all who heard them. We are informed that Mrs. E. E. Moore, of this place, a lady of elegant accomplishments, is engaged as a mem be \ vf the Faculty at Reidvilie for next session, which begins on the 1st of February, 1872. }?':. ~ Saleday. As oar. readers will observe .from the report of the sales that took place on Monday last, an immense -amount of real estate was-put up to the highest bidder, and brought very fair prices as ?. general rule. The aggregate sum is $37, 200"worth of real estate. The prices obtained for.property in the town of Anderson demon? strate that there is no depreciation in value.? The bidding was quite animated at times, and the large crowd of persons attracted, by the sales was not diminished until the auctioneers concluded their labors, although the cold winde made it exceedingly disagreeable. The votaries of King Alcohol indulged in frequent libations during the day, and the liqnor traffic kept unusually active. We no? ticed many "spirited*' specimens of the genus j homo, including white and colored, bnt the in djfgence in copious draughts seemed to produce only stupefying effects, without the belligerent tendencies so common on such occasions. A Word to our Farmers. The meeting advertised for next Saturday to organize the Anderson Farmers' Association into* a joint stock Company is one of vital im? portance to the farming community. The fu? ture of the Association will depend materially upon prudent action at this meeting, and every one interested in the development of agricul? ture and its kindred industries ought to be promptly in attendance. It will not do to stand aloof, and afterwards complain that the meeting failed to do such acts as meet your ap? probation. Every Life Member of the Associ? ation, and all persons who have subscribed to j the capital stock?together with every one de? sirous of becoming a stockholder?are entitled to a voice in the organization to be perfected on Saturday. The committees in the various towns and townships are urged to report the amount of stock obtained by them respectively, and to influence the stockholders to be present en next Saturday. Let us have a full and ear? nest meeting, and evince the determination that brings success. We understand that au elegant dinner will be spread at the Waverly House, to which the ] Association will be invited at the proper hoar. Only Life Members and stockholders will be entitled to tickets of admission, which will be furnished on application to the Committee of; Arrangement* It will be a social rc-union, and ought to prove a pleasant affair. Masonic Election.?At the regular com? munication of Herrn on Lodge, No. 116, A. F. M., held on Saturday la*t, the following breth? ren were elected to serve as officers for the en? suing Masonic year: John L. McLin, W. M. J. D. Alkwine, S. W. J. D. Price, J. W. J. L. Bryan, Treasurer. Geo. W. Belcher, Secretary. The installation of officers will take place on Tuesday next, 12th inst. I The Governor's Message. We give the material portion of this extra? ordinary document in to-day's issue. The space-occupied by the message precludes any extended comment from us. But we arc free to say that no message has previously emana? ted from the present Executive, so full of pal? pable inconsistencies and blundering perver? sions. It reveals the true animus of Governor Scott towards the white people of South Caro? lina, and tears .off the mask behind which he has sought to conceal malevolent feelings for some time past. Because, forsooth,, the main body of whites have kept aloof from his de? graded party, he makes insane' charges of dis? loyalty against them as an entire people, for? getting that the Radical party has enjoyed the fullest sway in every respect and is wholly re? sponsible for the government of the State. Attempting to hide the defects of his own ad? ministration, Gov. Scott essays to place the blame of failure upon the acts of his political opponents. But the truth cannot he altogether suppressed, and even Gov. Scott admits the re? sponsibility of his. own party and furnishes the p roof of extravagance and unnecessary expen? diture by the Legislature, although he has neg? lected to point oat the particular official acts of reprehensible conduct for which he alone is responsible. We presume that the Legislature, recognizing the adage that "one good turn de? serves another," will kindly affix the stigma of responsibility upon Gov. Scott for guilty par? ticipation in fraudulent issues of bends and other matters connected with the execution of the laws. Such action would prove a happy illustration of the truth "that when rogues fall oat, honest men get their does." The United States Court The November term of the United Slates Circuit Cowt began in Columbia last week. Judges- Bond and Bryan are presiding. The trial of the alleged Ku Klux prisoners, recent? ly arrested in the various counties under mar? tial law, will occupy the attention of the Court, to the exclusion of all civil business. Indeed, the business of the Court seems restricted to this point, and all the preparations in the.mat? ter of grand and petit juries related to the trial of the so-called Ku Klux. After some delay, the juries were organized last Friday as fol? lows: Six white men and fifteen colored upon the grand jury, and twenty whites and" thirty two colored on the petit juries. On Saturday, true bills were found against a large number of citizens of York county for conspiracy and murder of a colored man, and a bench warrant issued to bring the prisoners before the Court. The United States, is represented in the prose? cution by Hons. D. T. Corbin and D. H. Cham? berlain, and the general defence is conducted by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, and Hon. Henry Stanberry, of Ohio, assisted by able counsel from the local bar of Columbia and adjacent towns. The straggle began in earnest on Monday last, when a motion was made by Mr. Stanberry to quash the indictment framed by the District Attorney. He sustained the points relied upon to quash the indictment by f an able effort, which occupied more than two : hours. District Attorney Corbin obtained leave ' of further time until 11 o'clock Tuesday, where? in to prepare his answer to the grounds set forth , in the motion of Mr. Stanberry. The whole country is looking with interest upon the pro? ceedings of this Court, and we shall endeavor to keep our readers informed as the trials pro? gress. Sales on Monday last.

Cater, for $2,325. -~ Stop We received no commercial telegrams, on account of the wires being down. j Rapid Increase in the State Debt.. At last, the attention of the country is di ! rected to the shameful method by which so called Republican officials in the South have manipulated the finances of the respective States under their dominion. The tax-payers of the Souths?those upon whom the burden falls heaviest?long ago cried out against these miserable caricatures upon free government foreseeing that their substance was destined to be wasted in the hands of such R^piibttcans? under which convenient name the veriest scum of creation foisted themselves into position.? The wail of the oppressed Southerner was not heard by the Northern people. His'cause: was drowned in the tumult against has Tbyattyi which these perfidious wretches have kept up from the beginning of reconstruction until the present time. Yet the truth cannot longefbe concealed. Denials are of paltry moment when facts and figures produce.conviction.?r And now, since the recent revelations in regard to the fraudulent conduct of the Republican officials in South Carolina, the. people of the North are becoming enlightened.as to the true character of the men engaged in these brilliant financial speculations. The New York Tribune leads off in the denunciation of the carpet? baggers in South Carolina, and its correspon? dent has sent to that paper a curious exhibit of our financial condition. It is simply a series of tables, prepared by the State authorities, and showing from time to time the statement of these reliable officials. Our readers will be in? terested in a reproduction of the results, stated, at different periods during the past thirteen months. ? ,...y^} \ I. October 31,1870, the State Treasurer put down the liabilities of the State at $7,665,908.98. On the 12th of December, 1870, the <*>mnfrol ler General reports the debt the same figures above given, although stated in a different manner from that of the State Treasurer. ,-. 2. The debt at the time these reports were made greatly exceeded the figures reported. "As no authority had been given for increasing the debt, it was necessary that the lies told in the fall of 1870 should be well stuck to in May, 1871, when the Tax-Payers' Convention met; so a new statement was made, by which it ap? peared that the debt was not a dollar greater than in the previous fall." The cojBeapdfija^ then gives the Comptroller General's.stateraent, as furnished to the said Conventipnv \ h 3. "As no increase is mentioned since !so v. 1, 1870, the inference intended to be drawn was that there had been no addition to the debt." Yet, on the 20th of September last, in answer to enquiries from the joint select committee to inquire into the condition of the late inaujrree> tionary States, Gov. R. K. Scott, over his own proper signature, made an exposition of the financial status of this "dearly beloved" State, wherein the entire bonded debt is placed at $9,528,564.10. Here is an increase of nearly two million of dollars, without any apparent trouble on the part of his Excellency, in regard to which the correspondent says: "This state? ment was more untruthful, if possible, thau any that had preceded it. The Governor, ;,as a member of the Financial Board,, which has en? tire charge of the issue of bonds, must have known that over $5,000,000 of new Conversion Bonds had been sold or hypothecated in New York by the Financial Agent?of whicjo. no mention is made in the above statements,--' lie knew that when he stated that the total iwsue of bonds and stocks by his administration was less than $4,500,000, he was making a grosaand inexcusable misrepresentation for a dishonora? ble purpose?namely, to deceive the New York Stock Be 'd and the public at large." ? 4. The joint labors of the Attorney General, the State Treasurer and the Financial Agent are invoked, and after a thorough sifting of the Treasurer's books for an entire day, the incubation of this trio furnished the Tribuiat* correspondent with a statement of the. debt, which has now reached the respectable figures of $15,806,908.98. This was on the 20th day of November, 1871, less tbah," tHjjftjecb months since it was first reported that the pub? lic debt was about seven and a half mim?hsd' Aye, scarcely six months since the ^ie^so^^>il; told in the beginning, had been reki^f^d 'Joyi i the benefit of the anxious tax-payers in con i vention assembled. More than doubled in six months! l/JCO : Now, we wonld not for a moment create'the i impression that the debt was actually increased in the style and manner above stated. > The Radical officials only concealed the truth, and it was not until the startling expose made by the New York World that they evinced.the least desire to recede from former gross per? versions and misstatements. But the recapitu? lation above made, in regard to the various sums claimed as the "total" debt durinythe past year, strongly indicates that the whole truth has not yet been reached. Trudj it agrees with the statement put forth last week by Judge Orr and his associates; it coincides with the figures adopted in the Governor's message, and is identical with the official dec? laration of the State Treasurer. But .when it is remembered that these statements _are all made upon the data furnished by Niles G. Parker, we must accept them with due allow? ance. He is more deeply interested, perhaps, than any other man, unless it bo Gov. Scoftjin deceiving the public once again. We know beyond a doubt that the truth has long been suppressed, and that every State official assist? ed in the work of concealment. They boldly furnish the proof of base deception and trick? ery, and then ask the public to accept their utterances in regard to the actual debt! Their statements have proved unreliable heretofore, and in the hour of their discovery, we canriot place the least confidence in any exhibit from that quarter. Added to all this, we have the ??claration of the Comptroller General that the Financial Agent and the State Treasurer have not yet submitted their annual report* yd? him, and as a necessary consequence it is out of his power to furnish the I^gislature'with "a reliable statement of the public debt or the financial transactions of the past fiscal year. It thus appears that attempts are being made at further concealment, and it is announced that the Financial Agent has suddenly depart? ed from Columbia, and taken his flight to the North, refusing and neglecting to make any report. ? A member of the Boston bar is engaged ' in compiling and codifying the Mosaic law for i the hem-lit of his professional brethren who don't know where to lind the original docu? ments. I Application of the Legal Remedy. The Executive .Committee of the Tax-ray ers' Convention met in Columbia last week. We learn that the gentlemen in attendance have given their attention to the troubled con? dition of oor State finances, as is meet and proper, and that they are preparing to push legal remedies against participants in the des? perate games enacted by our State officials. It would not suprise us that the action of the Ex Iseutive Committee might-be anticipated .by some of these officials, and imitation of Mr. Kimpton, that they should take flight to other regions. Therefore, we hope to see no unnec? essary delay in instituting whatever legal rem? edies against the thieves and plunderers that learned counsel might suggest. We believe that the law will compel a surrender of their trusts, where it can be shown clearly and unequivo? cally that high officials have exercised those trusts to their own private advantage and to the detriment of the public weal. Then, if there is law to protect the citizens of this com? monwealth from rapicious plundering and vile combinations, let its aegis be invoked at once. We would earnestly urge the affiliation of all good men, irrespective of party politics, in this movement to reach the conspirators by due process of law. As in New York, so let it be in South Carolina, that the people demand re? dress of the Courts. It is the only safe, thor? ough remedy, in our judgment, and will prove a bulwark of safety in the future. Masonic Election. The following officers were elected at the regular convocation of Burning Bush Chapter, No. 7, R. A. M., held on Monday evening, De? cember 4th, to serve for the ensuing Masonic year. The installation took place immediately after the election: J. B. Clark, High Priest. S. H. Langston, King. M. Lesser, Scribe. W. J. Ligon, C. H. S. M. Pegg, P. S. R. M. Clinescales, R. A. C. P. A.

Reeves, Sentinel. wh --~ The Legislature. The proceedings of this body are almost en? tirely devoid of interest up to the present time. After brief sessions of two days, the Senate ad? journed from Wednesday until Monday last, and upon re-assembling the business transacted was unimportant. The House of Representa? tives refused to adjourn longer than one day, Thursday, and the excitement usually attendant upon the sessions of that branch of the Legis? lature seems to have been inaugurated already. We make such extracts from the proceedings as will prove interesting to our readers: In the House of Representatives, Mr. Jervey presented the return of the Charleston Com? missioners of Election of the election, in said County, of C. C. Bowen, as a member of the House of Representatives, and moved that the member elect be qualified; which was strongly opposed by W. H. Jones, Jamison and others, upon the ground that the election was invalid, both in law and under the constitution ; charg? ing that the signature of the clerk to the writ of election was a forgery; that Bpwen had been convicted of a "serious crime and misdemean? or f and that he was still contesting for a seat in the United States Congress, to which he . claimed to have been elected. A motion was made to postpone the consid? eration of the matter until Wednesday next; which caused a very animated debate by Messrs. Jamison, Jones, Davis, Jervey, Wilkes, Mobley and others. Amidst the most intense excitement and con? fusion, a vote was taken, and the motion lost. The previous question was then called and decided in the affirmative, by a vote of 73 yeas to 23 nays. Mr. Bowen appeared before the Speaker's .desk, and was qualified. Tbe Speaker stated to the House that imme? diately after the resignation of Mr. Hardy, a member from the County of Charleston, he im? mediately issued a writ of election to fill the vacancy; that the clerk of the House was not in the city, and his name was signed to the j writ by another, but afterwards met with hie ap? proval. Mr. Bowen asked permission to address a few words, which was granted, when he said, that he had listened to the arguments of the mem? bers In his case. He expected to meet with se? rious opposition ; he knew that strong combi? nations had been formed to keep him from ta? king his seat; he knew it before he left Charles? ton. All manner of charges had been made against him, and spoken of here to-day; but he did not desire to say anything upon that subject. He had been elected not only to rep? resent the people of Charleston County, but as the representative of the people of the whole State; and as such he intended to do his duty. He warned those who had been abetting fraud and corruption, and had robbed the State of no less than ?7,000,000, that their day had come, and that they should suffer for their conduct. Amidst great applause, he took his seat. On Saturday, Mr. Wilkes introduced the fol? lowing concurrent preamble and resolutions; which were adopted: Whereas in the political canvass in this State, in the general election of 1870, the Republican and Reform parties alike pledged themselves to an economical administration of the State gov? ernment, so as to lessen taxation and lighten the burthens of the people; and whereas the people of the State, irrespective of party, have a right to expect, and do earnestly demand, the fulfillment of the pledges then given; and whereas his Excellency R. K. Scott, in his late message, has earnestly recommended retrench? ment in the expenditures of the government, by abolishing some officers, consolidating oth? ers and reducing salaries of officers; therefore, be it Resolved, by the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, the Senate con? curring, That a committee of three discreet members on the part of the House, and members on the part of the Senate, be appoin? ted immediately to consider: 1. What offices, if any. State and County, can be abolished without injury to the people and their interests. , 2. What offices, State and County, can and should be consolidated. '8. How far the salaries of State and Coun? ty officers can be and should be reduced. Resolved, That this committee be, and they are hereby, instructed to address themselves at once to the serious consideration of the forego? ing points, and to report thereon at the earli? est day practicable ; and that said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise. A concurrent resolution was passed, requir? ing the State Financial Committee to report on Thursday next. Resolution to require the State Treasurer to withdraw the unsigned bonds of the State from the American Bunk Note Company, to be held subject to the order of the General Assembly, was adopted. Resolution, by Mr. Frost, to go into an elec-1 tion for one Associate Justice, and eight Cir-1 cuit Judges, on the ISth inst, was adopted. j HYMENEAL.

The readers of the Intelligencer are assured qy the proprietor of the "Emporium of Fash? ion" at Abbeville, S. C, that his stock of Dry Goods and Millinery was never so large and attractive as it is this season. Nothing that could be thought of has been left undone. His stock was bought with a great deal of care. There are larger stocks in the State, but when it comes to real handsome and stylish goods, the "Emporium of Fashion" is unsurpassed. Especial attention is called to his stock of Dress Goods, Shawls and Millinery, and to many ar? ticles useful and ornamental for ladles, not to be found in any other house in the up-country. Mrs. Cain, in charge of the Millinery Depart? ment, has been in Baltimore for two months looking up and studying the styles. She is as? sisted by Miss Small, Mrs. Wieb and Miss Oatoe. The Dress Making Department is in charge of Miss Tweeddale, lately in charge of a fash? ionable dress making establishment in Balti? more. Sho is assisted by the Misses Tagoart and three other ladies of skill in this depart? ment Samples of Dress and any other goods that can be cut, will be sent upon application. La? dies can order Hats, Bonnets, or anything in the Millinery Department, and the goods will be sent by Express. Satisfaction guaranteed in every case; but, ladies, do not put your limit too low. We use the best materials, and don't pretend to com? pete with common materials and untasty work. Our prices for Hats run from $3 to $10. We will duplicate any bill of Millinery bought in any .city at one-third less price. But, ladies, we would rather you would come, that you can judge for yourselves, and make your own se? lections. Passengers by the morning's train have two hours to stay in Abbeville. Very respectfully, JAMES W. FOWLER, Proprietor Emporium of Fashion, Abbeville, S.
