ANDERSON C. H.t S. C. THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 21; 1872. We are under many obligations to Col. Thos. Podamead, Superintendent of the Green? ville and Colombia Railroad, for a complimen? tary pass for the current year ever the Road and its branches. - m .St L Messrs. Geo, P. Rowell & Co., of New York, issue the American Newspaper Reporter, which abounds with information of practical utility to the profession, and is always a wel? come guest at our editorial table. g?* The Legislature re-assembled on Friday last, but there was no quorum in either House. The same result was ascertained on Saturday. The proceedings of Monday, when there was a quorum present, are not especially interesting. 5?- Our Columbia exchanges contain the announcement that Haight & Go's. Empire City Museum, Menagerie, Circns and Balloon wi)l exhibit at Anderson on Tuesday, 6th of February. If there is anything i i. a name, this ought to be a mammoth exhibition. 'm i a,, ff! jfij?ff The drawing in the' South Carolina Land and Immigration Scheme commenced in Charleston on Monday last, and a large number of prizes were distributed that day; The prize of'flOO.OOO was won by No. 12(^2%, which ticket we did not hold. We make this state? ment for the information of our creditors. -? m ? m i?? n fS"rv We would call attention to tfcemct that a public debate will take pla'ce'fn the Court House On Tuesday evening next, under the auspices of the Andersee Chlhoun Literary Society. ' The subject for dt?eossion-Ss *in "in testing one,, and a Targe auttience of ladies and gentlemen; oogist to encourage the efforts of the* youngs gentlemen composing this society. ? m t ? _ ! Greenville and Columbia Railroad. -Thetransfer of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad has been completed, and it is now un? der the1 management of the South Carolina Railroad. The schedule for the passenger trains has been, changed, so as to shorten .the time to Columbia^ as- will be seen on reference to! the revised schedule in another column. The train on the Anderson Branch now runs through to Walhalla. The direct management of the entire line above Columbia is still entrusted to Col. Thos. Dodamead, an able and experi? enced officer, whose administration heretofore has been successful and satisfactory to the trav? eling public. Under the new arrangement, the following gentlemen have been elected Presi? dent and Directors: President?W. J. Magrath. " Vice President?John J. Patterson. Director*- Jas. I* Orr? J. IL Neagh^ J. J. Pjatterson, T. Hurley, J. M. Allen, Joseph Crews, H.X. Farmer, Thos. Dodamead, J. C. Roath, J^ E.: Marley, C. B. Walker and John T.Sloan. Increased Rates of Freight. -Many of our citizens have long desired the railroad lines from Charleston to the mountains tu be under one control and*"management, in the hope that freights and passengers could and would be transported with more regularity, i celerity and cheapness. But it seems how, from information before us, that our people are likely to be disappointed. Simultaneous, with the news of the purchase of a controlling interest in the Greenville and Columbia R. R. by the South Carolina Railroad, and the lease of the Blue Ridge JL R. to the same, comes a. new tariff of freights so increased as to. cause, severe comment and dissatisfaction among the business community.. We append a 'compara? tive statement to show our meaning, viz: Freights under old tariff, from Anderson to Pendletonr per 100 lbs., average 12 cts. - Aver? age Under new tariff, 28 cts. From Anderson to Walhalhi, old 27 cts.;. new 82 cts. average. Bale of cotton from Pendleton, old 56 cts.; new $1.00. The difference here given is upon an average of the several classifications of freight, but we learn that a greater increase has been made in some important classes. We trust Col. Doda? mead will correct this immediately, before trade is diverted elsewhere, if within his power. , Newspaper Borrowers. We have been intending to say a word or two on this subject for some time past It not un freqnently happens that we are accosted by in? dividuals with some remark about the contents of the Inlelligencert when we are puzzled to know how they ever found out any part of its contents, since their names do not appear npon our subscription book. Of coarse, we set them down among that impecunious class known as "newspaper borrowers." And strange to say, these persons offener complain and grumble about the price of our paper, and the occasion? al meagreness of reading matter, than any of our regular subscribers. Upon what principle of justice or right they base these complaints, we are at a loss to discover, as their selfish con? duct has never yet placed us under the slightest obligation to consult their wishes. Such per? sons, when asked to subscribe for a local news? paper, almost invariably reply that "Neighbor Jones takes it, and I have the reading of it ev? ery week.u Thus are they benefitted every week by the toils, perplexities and expenditures of the publishers, without giving one cent in return. Were all the world made up of such material, newspapers would be "few and far between." But there is another feature in re? gard to persons guilty of this abominable prac? tice towards the publishers of country newspa? pers?insufferably mean as it is to borrow your home journal?that plunges them deeper yet beneath the contempt of all right-minded peo? ple. It is almost invariably the case that the "newspaper borrower" who surreptitiously gets the benefit of the Intelligencer is a subscriber to some cheap Northern publication, in prefer? ence to sustaining a home enterprise. We do not object in the least to every one making his own selection of reading matter, nor from what quarter of the globe it may come, but we would question the honesty of any man guilty of pay? ing money to support foreign enterprises and '.it the name time sponging upon his poorer ueigh bor, porhaps, for local news. The Case of Col. McMaster. We stated, last week that the trial of Dr. Ed? ward T. Avery, of York, was then progressing in the United States Court at Columbia. When the testimony had been concluded, and the ar? gument of the case was about to begin, it was discovered that Dr. Avery was not present.? District Attorney Corbin made known the fact to the Court, and Judge Bond immediately in? terrogated the counsel of Dr. Avery as to the whereabouts of that gentleman. One of the counsel,. Col. F. W. McMaster, refused to an? swer the question, or rather asked to be ex? cused in a polite manner. Thereupon,it seems that Jndge.Bond's temper .got the better of his judgment, and he ordered a rule to issue against Col. McMaster to show cause why his name should not be stricken from the roll of attor? neys. In due time, proper answer was made to the rule, in which answer Col. McMaster assert? ed'that there was no intention upon his part to throw contempt upon the Court, nor was he bound to give information obtained by his pro? fessional relation to the absconded prisoner. Argument ensued upon this'answer, and it was quite evident that the irascible Judge Bond had given Messrs. Chamberlain and Corbin a very' knotty question to argue, since they failed to establish contempt on the part of Col. Mc? Master, or show any right on the par", of the Court to compel tho recusant attorney to di? vulge the secrets of his late client. The re? spondent was ably represented by Messrs. F. W. Fickling and John Waties, who made strong arguments in defence of the rights of attorneys, and clearly demonstrated that judge Bond had overstepped the bounds of propriety. The Court reserved a decision, and the next in- J telligence comes that Judge Bond had gone to Baltimore! Unable to sustain such hasty and ill-advised conduct, Judge Bond retreats from the decision of a question instituted by himself, and seeks an avoidance of the subject by a sud? den departure for another sphere of duties! We think Col. McMaster may rest assured that his name will stand upon the roll of attorneys, and we. know that it ranks among the ablest, most honorable and upright upon the list ? South Carolina Monument Association. In our last issue before the Christmas holi? days, we published the annual report of the South Carolina Monument Association for the previous year,' in which "money received" from Anderson is put down at $3.10. We are assured that the sum of - $60.00, raised by the Charades in our village last spring for the Bazaar in aid of the Association, was duly forwarded and re? ceived, and we suppose was included in the items set down as "contributions in money, fancy articles and provisions" for the Bazaar from certain Districts, among them Anderson, which is only mentioned in general (emu.? There seems to be a distinction made in the Report between "money received by the Asso? ciation" and "contributions to the Bazaar," the latter being referred to only in general terms, while the former is especially mentioned. As this distinction may escape the notice of others, , we make this explanation in justice to those entrusted with the interest of the Association in Anderson. The United States Court* For some unexplained reason, the work of the United Suites Court has already virtually ended by the discharge of the petit jury and the absence of Judge Bond. It is said, how? ever, that the latter goes to Baltimore for the purpose of beginning the term of the Circuit Court in that city. The grand jury will prob? ably be dismissed this' week, although a large number of persons are being daily indicted for j offences against the Ku Klux law. It seems to bo generally conceded that the trials are ended ; for the present, and may not be resumed in the future. Judge Bryan continues to hold the Court, and on Monday application was made , for. release upon habeas corpus of several pris? oners already sentenced, on the ground of the unconstitutionally of the Act of Congress under which they were tried and convicted. The Judge took the petitions under advisement, and for the purpose of hearing argument Editorial Change.?The Laurensville Herald announces a change of editors. Col I John W. Ferguson retires from the helm, after ' a year's industrious and energetic management He is succeeded by Mr. Thos. B. Crews, so long connected with the Herald as its publisher, and whose experience in the newspaper business will prove a talisman of success in the editorial department We extend to the outgoing and incoming, editors the most fraternal regards, and hope that a century of uninterrupted prosperi? ty awaits our time-honored cotemporary. New Dress.?The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel begins the new year with a full suit of new type, and presents a most handsome ap? pearance. It is one of our most valued ex? changes, furnishing daily the most important news from all quarters of the globe, and giving special attention to affairs in South Carolina and Georgia. We congratulate the editors and proprietors upon a successful career, and trust the present year will add largely to their pros? perity. _ An Exalted and Deserved Compliment. ?The Laurensville Herald recently gave utter? ance to the complimentary allusions herewith appended, in relation to our friend and fellow citizen, Col. Thomas J. Pickens. We unite most heartily in the wish that the Colonel's new vocation may prove highly successful and advantageous, both to himself and the popular Insurance Company with which he has become connected: We are gratified to meet Col. Thomas J. Pick ens, of Auderson, who is the traveling agent, for the State, for the St. Louis Mutual Life In? surance Co' .pHny. He will canvass this and other counties in the interest of his Company. The St. Louis is one of the first class compa? nies. It has a capital of over six millions, and can show an array of patrons equal to any in the United States, many of whom arc from this State, and a good number from this Coun? ty. The Colonel, in the good old times when honesty and integrity characterized the finances of the State, was for a long time Comptroller Ocneral, and is peculiarly fitted for investiga? ting the claims and condition of such compa nie>, and the fact that he has associated him? self with the St. Louis is a guaranty of its character. We wish him abundant success. ? A special dispatch to the Columbia Phoe? nix announces a Democratic triumph in the municipal election held at Chester on Monday hist. The Democratic ticket received a major? ity of three to oue over the Republican candi? dates. Our Washington Correspondence. . Washington, D. C, Jan. C, 1872. Just now we are indulging in a political calm, bnt the mutterings.of tc itorm which is' to break over the heads of Ulyt as' friends in the Senate next week are heard most unmis? takably. I have it from good authority that the batteries of the anti-Grantites are to be opened in the most savage manner on the Ad? ministration, and the most serious charges made against Grant & .Co., the design being by a grand coup de main to send Grant skyward. Last night the black and white Radicals met in council here and endorsed Senator~Sumner"$ supplementary civil rights bill, which mixes the races in the public schools, ?See. Prof. Lang ston, black, said "he hated negro schools, and so help him God, he never would send his son to one of them." The mixing of whites and blacks in the public schools was advocated by Judge Fisher, Hon. W. P. Chipman, delegate from the District in Congress, Hon. Chas. H? Porter, of Va., and others. Gov. Henry D. Cooke, the especial friend and chum of the President, in a letter also endorses the move? ment. This monstrous proposition meets the approval of the Republican members of Con? gress, but some of them, more politic than the rest, do not desire it pressed until after the next Presidential election. There is now but little doubt that Secretary Fish will remain in the Cabinet. Grant has determined to change his policy with regard to Cuba, and Fish will change also, th jugh he has heretofore been the devoted friend of Spain, which has employed his son-in-law, Sidney Webster, in several law cases growing out of the Cuban difficulties. The fitting out of our Iron Clads?the arrival here of Dan. Sickles, our Minister to Spain, and the prolonged Cab? inet meetings give rise to a great deal of spec? ulation about Cuban affairs. , The Presidential gallivant to Philadelphia will extend until Monday.' The President and family were [ the guests of the notorious John W. Forney, the author of the Consuelo letter. Our Chief Magistrate is not choice in these" lection. of his company, or probably "birds of a feather"?you know the rest. The friends of the aforesaid Forney are after the smiling Vice President, and desire a decis? ive answer as to whether he has any desire to preside over the Senate longer than his present term, as Forney wants the situation;, if he?can get it, and would 1 ike to take the chances along with his dear friend Ulysses. The Radical Presidential Convention will be held at Philadelphia, that is, if Grant can have his way. Forney, not content with manipula? ting the Radical press in favor of that city for holding the Radical Convention, is using his endeavors to have the Democrats also hold their Convention there. I guess the Democracy can settle that question without any advice from that source. ' ? The 928 tobacco manufacturers in the United States claim to pay $25,000,000 per annum as internal revenue tax. The question has been asked how so small a number of men can long sustain this enormous draft upon them.- This question will he brought to the notice of the Committee on Finance. It is reported that a bill will bo presented to Congress next week, providing for government election inspectors to canvass the Presidential and Congressional vote. ? The creature that Ben Butler ornamented with a ball and chain in Bichmond once, now Hon. Charles H. Porter, will present, to the House next week a bill to extend the provisions of the Grant bayonet law, known as the en? forcement act, all over the country; it nt pres? ent only applying to cities whose population.is over 50,000. This will require an army 6f fed? eral inspectors and the use of troops as provi? ded for in the present law. When will the people resent these high handed outrages and military usurpations ? Radical members of Congress are very indig? nant when they apply for positions for their friends, and are told that they mast present the application to the board who examines the ap? plicants. They are vowing vengeance when' legislation relating to the matter is asked for. Those who have their share and more are de? cidedly in favor of the so-called reform; bp those who have services to repay do not see the beauty of the system which deprives them of patronage. Sharp's the word, even among the Radical brethren in Congress. The civil ser? vice reform will soon be proven a fraud. : The Privileges of Lawyers. Apropos to the instance recorded elsewhere?: an effort to force information from a lawyer as to.his client's secrets?we append an anecdote from "A Book about Lawyers," a work pub? lished in London and written by Mr. Jeaffreson, barrister-at-law. The story is told on good au? thority, and relates to John Hullock, an emi? nent barrister. It may be well to premise" that in England attorneys prepare coses, which are managed in Court by barristers or counscllors at-law: In an important cause tried upon the North? ern Circuit, he was instructed by the attorney who retained him as leader on one side not to produce a certain deed unless circumstances made him think that without its production his client would lose the suit. On perusing the deed entrusted to him with this remarkable in? junction, Hullock saw that it established bis client's case, and wishing to dispatch the busi? ness with all possible promptitude, he produced the parchment before its exhibition was. de? manded by necessity. Examination instantly detected the spurious character of the deed, which had been fabricated by the attorney. Of course the presiding judge (Sir John Bayley) ordered the deed to be impounded; but before the order was carried out, Mr. Hullock obtained permission to inspect it again. Restored to his hands, the deed was forthwith replaced in his bag. "You must surrender that deed in? stantly," exclaimed the judge, seeing Hullock's intention to keep it. "My lord," returned the barrister, warmly, "no power on earth shall in? duce mc to 6urrcnder?it. I have incautiously put the life of a fellow-creature in peril; and though I acted to the best of my discretion, I should never be happy again were a fatal re? sult to ensue." At a loss to decide on the prop? er course of action, Mr. Justice Bayley retired from court to consult with his Iearncubrothcr. On his lordship's reappearance in court, Mr. Hullock?who had also left the court for a brief period?told him that during his absence the forged deed had been destroyed. The at? torney escaped; the barrister became a judge. Masonic?At a regular communication of Baruett Lodge, No. 106, held on the 22nd of December last, the following officers were elect? ed to serve the ensuing year: J. Jamison, W. M.; J. C. Boggs, S.

The convention will be held at Meridian, on the 23d of Jauua ! ry. It is to be remarkea that most of the pa? pers of the State speak of this meeting as non partisan. It is designed by most of them to organize a party which may rescue tho State from the hands of those who have plundered it, and in attaining this end they ignore all par? tisan associations. ? Lowrey and his gang of outlaws continue to rule Robeson County, North Carolina, undis? turbed. The fruitless campaign waged against them by the State and Federal troops only served to render the desperadoes more despe? rate and daring. A correspondent who paid a visit to the locality recently, found the inhabi? tants in such a condition of abject fear that they, with, one or two exceptions, absolutely re? fused to converse on the subject of the outlaws, and thereby risk their lives. ? The New York Guardian says: "How supremely ludicrous is the idea that the great majority of the people of South Carolina, with all the power of the Federal, State, county and municipal government in its hands, and with their majority better armed, and with an armed militia?that this great majority is in such mortal danger from a minority which has prov? ed powerless to protect itself from any of the thousand-and-one wrongs daily perpetrated up? on it by this majority, pretending to be in mor? tal fear of its feeble victims." ? The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Ledger says: "Certain Georgia Rad? icals have been persistent in thsir efforts to in? duce Grant to interfere in Georgia affairs to the end that Gov. Smith might be prevented from taking the gubernatorial chair. They succeeded in enlisting Cameron and Delano in the scheme, but Grant and the Cabinet conclu? ded it would be unwise and dangerous to Grant's chances of re-election to humor their Georgia friends in their little caprices, and de? clined to interfere in the matter, at which said friends are very much disgusted." ?

OBITUARY. DIED, at Pendleton, S. C, on the 7th inst., Mrs. ELIZABETH SHARPE, in the 81st year of her ago. A Body and Mind Disease. Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain are too intimately allied for the one to suffer without the other, so that dyspepsia and despondency are inseparable. It may be ad? ded, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost invariably accompanied by irritation of the temper. The invigorating and tranquillizing operation of Ilostctter's Bitters is most powerfully devel? oped in cases of indigestion. The first effect of this agreeablo tonic is comforting and encour? aging. A mild glow provades the system, the chronic uneasiness in the region of the stom? ach is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which characterizes the disease is abated. This improvement is not transient. It is not suc? ceeded by the return of the old symptoms with superadded force, as is always the case when unmedicatcd stimulants are given for the conr plaint. Each dose scorns to impart a perma? nent accession of healthful invigoration. But this is not all. The apariont and anti-billious properties of the preparation are scarcely sec? ondary in importance to its tonic virtues. If there is an overflyw of bile, tho secretion is soon brought within proper limits, and if the bilary organ is inert :md torpid it is toned and regula? ted. Tho effect upon the discharging organs is equally salutary, and in cases of constipation the cathartic action is just sufficient to produce the desired result gradually and without pain. The Bitters also promoto health}' evaporation from the surface, which is particularly desira? ble at this season when sudden spells of raw, unpleasant weather are apt to check the natu? ral perspiration and produce congestion of the liver, coughs, aud colds. The best safeguard against all diseases is bodily vigor, and this the great Vegetable Restorative especially pro? motes. _ Manufacturing Enterprise in Charles? ton.?Charleston is fast becoming a manufactu? ring as well as a commercial city.
