copal 'Church, died at Camden on last Saturday,
in the 68th year of his age. 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.

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.

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.

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

THE FASHIONS!
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,

Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance on Time.
EEXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
t the past six years in this State, for Cotton
and Corn, has so far established its character for
excellence as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en?
abled to do by reason of its large facilities and
the reduced cost of manufacture.
The supplies put into market this season are,
as heretofore, prepared under the personal su?
perintendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel, Chem?
ist of the Company, at Charleston, S. C.. hence
planters may rest assured that its QUALITY
and COMPOSITION is precisely the same as
that heretofore sold. At the present low price
every acre planted can be fertilized with 200
pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the pres?
ent value of 30 pounds of cotton, while experi?
ence has shown that under favorable conditions
of season and cultivation the crop is increased
by the application from two to threefold the
natural capacity of the soil. Hence, under no
conditions could its application fail to compen?
sate for the outlav. Apply to
