Crum? ley, there was arraigned yesterday two colored man, Jackson Henderson and Clark Cleveland, both citizens of Oconee County, charged with a violation of the Enforcement Act of Congress. It appears that the prosecutor and the defend? ants had some difference of opinion concerning the respective merits of the rival candidates for Governor, which, together with the differ? ences of opinion touching private matters, re? sulted in a fisticuff between the parties, where? by no one was particularly hurt. All hands were somewhat intoxicated. The prosecutor belongs to the "Bolters;' and the defendants swear by Moses, Strange to say, the prosecu? tor now professes an earnest desire to relieve his quondam enemies from the clutches of the law. Bat the Commissioner, after hearing the evidence, decided to send the parties to jail, where they will await further examination in? to this complicated vilolation of the Ku Klus law, ic such cases made and provided. Don't Hurry Your Cotton. The Columbus (Ga.) Sun learnes that the largest warehouse firm in that city has notified planters to whom they made advances to cease hurrying so much cotton to market. The effect of this actie n on the part of planters is to pro? duce a false impression regarding the crop, as spinners in the North and Europe look alone to receipts as the basis of their estimates. Cot? ton has been forwarded rapidly because cater? pillars and rust have stripped the leaves from tdie plant and left the boils exposed to the sun. The great amount of cotton already seat to market has locked up an immense amount of money, and hence has depressed prices. This finn believes that the lowest print in price will be reached in thirty, or at farthest in sixty d;iys. At that time, with receipts diminishing, aud the fact of a short crop becoming apparent, quotations most again go upwards, and the country profit thereby. No hope is entertained ?.1 any quarter of a late crop. We give the conclusions of this Columbus firm for what they may be worth, simply re? marking that none of our farmers should hesi? tate to consult with the merchants to whom they are indebted for guano and supplies, and obtain the benefit of their experience in the cotton market before acting upon the advice of o.hers. It is the highest duty of every one to deal frankly and honestly in s ach matters, and there should be a perfect understanding be? tween the merchant and farmer on the propri? ety of following the advice of outsiders, since their interests are mutually dependent upon each other. September Term. The Circuit Court for Anderson County be? gan on Monday last, Judge Orr presiding. The business so far has been confined to the Ses? sions docket. We append a record of the busi? ness up to Wednesday afternoon, viz: i The State vs. 8. S. Newell, T. A. Owingsand W. H. Owings. Iudictment for riot, assault and battery. Nol. Pros. The State vs. John B. Neal. Indictment for assault and battery, with intent to murder. True Bill. Case continued on account of de? fendant's sickness. The State vs. E. M. Taylor and E. W. Tay? lor.

Defendant ?rraigned cn Tuesday, tried arid convicted of grand larceny. The State vs. Catharine Howard. Indict? ment for murder. True BiH. Prisoner ar? raigned on Tuesday, and trial set for Wednes? day morning. The case was concluded at one o'clock yesterday, resulting in a verdict of manslaughter.. The State vs. A. M. Neal. Indictment for keeping a public nuisance, to wit, a mill dam. No Bill. The State tw. E. J. Pinson. Indictment for official misconduct as a Trial Justice. True Bilk. The State vs. George W. Rankin. Indict? ment for keeping a public nuisance. This is the celebrated "mill-dam" case tried at the January term, which went against the defen? dant, by whom an appeal was taken. The Su Sreme Court granted a new trial, and the So citor handed out a new indictment on Tues? day. We understand the Grand Jury examined a large number of witnesses, and after a lengthy deliberation, returned "No Bill." The Court is engaged in the trial of Moser, already convicted of grand larceny, as we go to press. He has been arraigned on the second case, under an indictment for burglary. Fearful Tragedy in Columbia. A terrible tragedy was enacted in the city of | Columbia on Saturday last, resulting in the death of a prominent young citizen, Mr. John D. Caldwell, and seriously wounding another gentleman, Maj. James M. Morgan. The diffi? culty which led to this tragic end is directly attributable to-the acrimony of political discus? sions between the respective factions of the Radical party. Hon. Samuel W. Melton, the candidate of the Moses wing for Attorney-Gen? eral, recently addressed a public meeting at Beaufort, in which he assailed Hon. C. W. Montgomery, President pro tern, of the State Senate, for Issuing pay certificates, thereby en? deavoring to defend Moses from the same charge. Upon the publication of this fact, Montgomery came out in a card in last Thurs? day's Phoenix, denouncing Melton as a "liar, poltroon and coward." Judge Melton returned to Columbia from the up-country on Friday, and it is alleged that he passed Montgomery on the streets the next morning, without any hostile demonstration. All through the day it was expected that a collision might occur. About five o'clock in the afternoon, the em broglio culminated in a shooting affray at Pol? lock's restaurant, on Main street. It appears that Judge Melton, Mr. John D. Caldwell and Maj. James M. Morgan had been dining in the second story, while Mr. Montgomery and Capl. j George E. Tupper were taking their dinner in | the lower story. When Melton and his friends had finished, he entered the lower dining room from the main entrance, discovered who were its occupants, closed the door, and almost im? mediately re-opened it, and advanced to where Montgomery was seated. He threw his left arm around Montgomery's neck, and com? menced beating him in the face. Immediately following Judge Melton were Maj. James M. Morgan and Capt. John D. Caldwell, and it is supposed that the last named attempted to in? terfere between the contending parties, when a collision occurred between him and Capt Top? per, resulting in CaldwelPs being shot by Tup per. The deceased fell over Montgomery and Melton, and almost instantly expired. Morgan and Tupper then grappled, and in the melee which ensued Morgan received a serious wound from a pistol shot, evidently from the hands of Tupper. Other parties interfered, and the po? lice came upon the terrible scene, making sev? eral arrests, including Tupper, Montgomery and Melton. The last named, however, was soon released, and Montgomery was subsequently discharged. Ine news spread like wildfire, and it is esti? mated that two thousand persons assembled in the vicinity of the restaurant. A coroner's | jury was immediately empanelled, and the in? vestigation began, which was concluded on Sunday morning, resulting in a verdict that the deceased came to his death at the hands of Geo. E. Tupper; whereupon the latter was committed to jail, to await his trial before the Court of Sessions. Capt. John D. Caldwell was a young man of popular, engaging manners, and highly es? teemed by all classes of citizens. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his untimely end. His fuaeral took place on Sunday after? noon, and was largely attended. He was buried with the honors of the Masonic frater? nity. Capt. Tapper is a native of Charleston, and served in the Confederate army. He has resi? ded in Columbia for the last several years, en aged in the insurance and real estate business, [e has retained able counsel, and it is under? stood that an application will be made at once for his release upon habeas corpus. The Radical Nominations in Kershaw Co. In our remarks last week concerning the chances for reform in the next Legislature, we took occasion to refer to the counties of Ker? shaw and Aiken as proof that the Moses fac? tion would not improve the complexion of the General Assembly. As supporting evidence of our estimate regarding the nominations made in Kershaw, we submit the following extract from the Canden Journal: Had anything been wanting to give the coup de grace to the Moses party here, the county nominations made by their convention last week, has most effectually administered it. It is very evident that there cannot be a pure and honest administration of the State government, so long as the legislature remains hopelessly corrupt The purest and best men would be powerless tc arrest the legislation of a corrupt General Assembly, unless one-third of that body was composed of men of intelligence and integrity of character, to sustain his vetoes and to prevent impeachment Had it suited Mr. Moses to reform the administration of affairs, he would have taken care to secure the nomina? tion by his friends in the several counties, of a proportion of such men in the legislature and in the county offices, as could have been relied on to sustain him in an honorable and upright course. Instead of this, we feel compeUedto declare that the nominees of the Moses faction here, could rot have been packed by the thieves and swindlers, whose vocation it is to use the legislature of the State to plunder the people, to suit their purposes more perfectly. Two of the nominee} are old and notorious offenders, according to the public declarations of some of those who now support them, and the third is |just of that ntellcctual calibre as would best fit him for t'iiei purpose of honest John, or any other Artful Dodger, who might see fit to ma? nipulate hint. The ticket for county officers is almost as bad as it could be made. Whenever they have a change, it has been for the worse. Nothing, therefore, could more plainly demon? strate the utter futility of those promises of reform, with which Moses seeks to beguile honest people than the course of his adherents and supporters?ex pede Herculean, or, to be less classical, the devil is known by his cloven foot. If now, tho Bolters give us a better ticket (they cannot get up a worse,) we will find it to our interest and advantage to support that ticket. Mr. Simeon Sprewell died last week in the neighborhood of Five Forks, in the 99th year of his age. Mrs. Kittie Cunningham, of the Dark Corner, also departed this life last week, aged upwards of 100 years. We regret to learn that Mr. A. P. Gra? ham, of the Fork, met with a serious accident on last Wednesday. He was feeding a cotton gin, when his hand was caught in the gin, and the hand and arm were badly torn, with one finger nearly cut off. 56?" The Governor has issued a proclama? tion ordering the elections for Wednesday, 16th of October, which will be found in our columns to-day. The several amendments proposed to the Constitution are likewise to be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection. US?" A correspondent of the Columbia South Carolinian, writing from Greenville, says that Judge Orr practices reform as well as preaches it, and calls attention to the fact that the Judge> in order to reduce the expenses of his C irt, acts as clerk by reducing tho evidence to writing in all cases where it is necessary, there? by saving each County in his Circuit several hundred dollars per annum. ? There is a very deceptive counterfeit $5 United States currency note afloat. It is very like tho original, and can only be detected by comparing the words "United States." In the good note they are delicately shaded and clear? ly defined, and in the bad oue heavily shaded and ra'her efowded. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Mr. Editor : That the public inind may be disabused of any false impressions produced by the card of Mr. W. S. Brown, appearing in your issue of the 19th inst., it is deemed proper to make the following exhibit of facts, viz: The meeting of the Centreville Township, held on the 7th inst., was small, and the voting ir? regular and scattering; so that when the voting had proceeded for some while, and the voters generally leaving immediately after casting their votes, in view of the yet slim attendance and the probable failure of a majority vote be? ing cast for any one or more nominees for cer? tain offices, a resolution was moved and unani? mously adopted to the effect that the delegation from said Township should be left free and un instructed, and at their discretion to vote or not vote at all for nomination^ the County Convention. Upon counting the votes, it was found that no name run as a nominee for the Legislature had received a majority of the votes cast, but merely a plurality?Mr. Brown standing third highest, having received between a third and fourth of the whole number of votes cast. A list of the names voted for and the respective vote received by each was made out and put in possession of the chairman of the delegation, which said list was duly returned to the chair? man of the County Convention when called for in its turn, and placed in the hands of the sec? retaries. Whereupon, the Convention voted first upon the nomination of County Commis? sioners, and made by resolution this standing rule, namely: That upon the failure of any candidate to receive a majority of the whole number of townships?t. e., nine (9) townships, there being sixteen (16) in the County?then the Convention would proceed to nominate by ballot from the names presented, or even going outside, there being no limitation imposed. Now, it is proposed from the foregoing state? ment, to educe four several and distinct facts^ in way of denial of the imputation of "gross fraud and betrayal of trust" charged upon the Centreville delegation, each of which it is be? lieved, taken separately and singly, will con? stitute a good and sufficient reason for the action of said delegation, and taken together, a triumphant vindication, viz: 1st, No legislative nominee received a major? ity of the votes cast in Centreville Township, Mr. Brown receiving only 11 votes out of 35, being less than one-third of the whole number cast. 2nd, The delegation, by resolution of the voters themselves, were left free, untrammelled and discretionary to vote or not vote in the County Convention. 3rd, The return of the township election, regularly, in manner and form with other townships?thus placing the result before the entire Convention. 4th, The standing rule, made before any nominations whatever, that upon the failure of a candidate to receive a majority of town? ships, the Convention would proceed to elect by ballot. According to his own statement, Mr. Brown received the vote of but five townships, inclu? ding Centreville and Hopewell , (his claims to which the public are invited to decide,) still these townships are exonerated by the standing rule of the Convention, however much this Convention?intended to be composed of the integrity and intelligence of the County? might have erred in making such a rule. For confirmation and endorsement of part of the above stated facts, I refer to Messrs. Wm. Moorhead and Jolly Poole, of the committee of managers of the township election, (myself being one by substitution,) and for the other facts to the entire delegation of the County Convention. Also, in justice to myself and the public, it becomes me to state that Mr. Brown was in possession of these precedent facts, by reaaou of an explanation made by me, in the presence of several citizens, when I was. unexpectedly and abruptly accosted, at the Court House steps, by Mr. Brown, and demanded to give the reasons for the part acted by the Centreville delegation. There was no concert, agreement or collusion amongst the delegation to preju? dice the claims of any one. I protest, for myself, and believe I may safe? ly do so for my associate delegates, to have knowingly done injustice to no one; but, per? suaded that the present exigency would and ought to unite and concentrate the conserva? tive voters of Anderson County upon any worthy and capable nominees put forth by the Convention, we were not actuated by personal partialities. Patriotism may demand large sacrifices. 0, for the virtue of the illustrious Athenian, who, when defeated in his candidacy for Ar chon, returned to his home rejoicing that Athens had ten better men than he. WM. D. EVINS, Cbm'n Committee of Delegation. South Carolina Monument Association. The Board of Directors will open a "monu? ment restaurant" on the Fair Grounds in Co? lumbia on the first day of the State Fair in No? vember, and will not close their sales until after the distribution of prizes. Contributions of meats and poultry, as well as of money are solicited, and may be sent to either of the fol? lowing ladies, who compose the Executive Committee: Mrs. J. T. Darby, Miss LaBorde, Mrs. W. H. Gibbes, Miss L D. Martin. The Board of Directors also announce that a grand operative and ballad concert in behalf of their Association will be given in Columbia early in November. A number of celebrated amateur performers of that city, besides several gentlemen from other parts of the State, have generously lent their services for the occasion. The programme and full particulars of the concert will be published some weeks prior to the Fair, so that persons residing in distant parts of the State may avail themselves of this opportunity to enjoy a rich musical treat. The Monument Association has purchased a site for the Confederate monument, and hopes soon to lay the corner-stone. A largo sum is still needed to complete the work, and we ap? peal to all for aid?to those whose privilege it was to fight by the side of the gallant dead whose deeds we commemorate; to the mothers and wives of these men ; to their children, who, in years to come, are to redeem South Caro? lina ; and lastly, to those who love liberty and who honor the past and pray for the future of our beloved State. ? The New York Evening Post advocates a sweeping change in the railway system of the United States, proposing a general system of | consolidation and the establishment of a uni? form rate for both passengers and freight for all distances. 1 For the Anderson Intelligencer. Mr. Editor: Please give space in your val? uable paper to a true statement of the vote of Hopewell Township, and the accompanying justification of the action of the delegates from the said Township in the nominating Conven? tion. For the Legislature? H. R. Vandiver received 12 votes. T.H.Russell " 12 " W.S. Pickens " 7 " Reuben Burriss " 7 " H. 0. Herrick " 3 " Wm. Morehead " 3 " J. C. C. Featherston, " 2 " Wm. S. Brown " 2 " R. S. Hill " 2 " The delegates were informed by Col. T. H. Russell's son, that he would not accept the nomination, if he received it. They, therefore, put forward Vandiver, Pickens and Burriss. Pickens was nominated, and I, as one of the delegates, feel that we did well to get one of our highest men nominated, when there are sixteen Townships and only three members al? lowed. We were, also, authorized to do the best we could for the whole County. But, Mr. Editor, Wm. 3. Brown received two votes from Hopewell Township, and says that he was nominated from it, received a ma? jority of the votes cast, and that we the dele? gates erased his name and substituted the names of other gentlemen, which was a gross fraud practiced upon him, and a clear betrayal of the rights of the people. How Mr. Brown can conceive and assert that two votes are suf? ficient to nominate a candidate from a Town? ship in which no other candidate received less and two others received so many as twelve, is a mystery to me. Strange hallucination I The other charges are too preposterous to re? quire a passing notice, as the number of votes cast shows how false and absurd is the accusa sation. I am not acquainted with Mr. Brown, but I hear that he is a gentleman; and if he is, I feel that he will retract the false accusations brought against the delegates from Hopewell Township I do not accuse him of originating the falsehoods, but presume that he was misinformed by some one who wishes to split the Democratic party. But should he still claim a majority from Hope well, I should think that going to an arith? metic school would suit him better than a seat in the Legislature. "By their works ye shall know them." Respectfully, M. B. WTXLIAMS, Chm'n. Hopewell Delegatiou. A Card. To the Voters of Anderson County : The action of the Convention for nominating candidates for County officers, and which rep? resented such a meagre per cent, of the vo? ters of the County, makes it imperative on me to give, as one of the candidates protesting against the assumed authority to dictate to the overwhelming majority of the voters of the County, my,reasons for not submitting to said dictation; my objections are to the mode and manner of effecting the nominations and not at all to the nominees. I expressed the opinion to several persons on Saleday, that the meeting held on that occasion was premature and inju? dicious, and accordingly through friends du? ring the discussions, opposed any action at that time. After the meeting I announced myself publicly, that I would acquiesce in a full and free expression of the public; but, that if I became satisfied the meeting was brought about in furtherance of local preferences, I would ex? ercise the right of acting independently. In consequence of those remarks the most unjust reports were circulated throughout the County, which caused the snap judgment against me in the Township meetings. After a thorough can? vass of the County, I am too well informed of the expressed feeliugs of the voters towards me to passively submit to any such unfair and un? just decision. Although opposed to the pro? ceedings on Saleday, for the four days inter? vening between that day and the voting in the Townships, I urged upon all I saw the im? portance of a full turnout of the people, and promised if there was a full expression of the public preference, if not nominated I would withdraw from the canvass; but as the condi? tion precedent was not fulfilled, I consider my? self exonerated from that promise. There are decided objections to the short time of four days, considered sufficient by the mass meeting to extend the notice of the Township meetings to all the voters, when the County paper is not received in some portions of the County until the following week. There are also decided objections to the large vote in the Convention against the adoption of the resolution, sugges? ting, that as the notice was so short and the vote in the Township so small, the nominations should be deferred to a future day. Such ac? tion, I must confess, smacks too much of the caucus system, which embodies the political axiom, that it is much more convenient to manipulate small political bodies than large masses of the people. If I had been in An? derson at the meeting of the Convention, I should have withdrawn my name from its ac? tion. I wrote to a friend to do so, if necessary; but he was prevented from attending. In conclusion, fellow-citizens, with my polit? ical principles unchanged, I announce myself as an independent candidate to the voters of the County, and will duly appreciate any assis? tance, irrespective of party, which may be ren? dered during the cauvass. Respectfully, T. J. PICKENS. A Card. To the Voters of Anderson County : Recognizing the patriotic motives of the gen? tlemen composing the nominating Convention, recently held at Anderson; and recognizing, also, the urgent necessity of unity and concert of action, on the part of the conservative vo? ters of Anderson County, in the approaching election, I hereby withdraw from the canvass for Clerk of the Court. To the kind friends, white and colored, who have generously assured me of their support, I hereby tender my sincere thanks for this to? ken of their confidence. Respectfully, THOS. W. RUSSELL.
