S&* We are informed that Judge Green and others will address the citizens of Anderson on Tuesday next, 27th inst., upon the political issues of the day. All parties are invited to at? tend the meeting. Gen. Samuel McGowan. Gen. McGowan opened the canvass at Abbe? ville on Saturday last, and evoked an enthusi? asm in his own County which will sweep over his competitor with a handsome majority. His speech here on Tuesday last was eloquent, pointed and powerful, magnetizing the vast audience, and infusing the people with a firm determination to secure him as their honored representative at Washington. His utterances are entirely conservative, and utterly free from abuse of political opponents. We predict for him the largest majority in Anderson County given to any candidate since the war. The Independent Republicans. The progress of the campaign indicates that the Independent Republicans are gaining strength, and will poll a heavy vote for their candidates. The extraordinary efforts being made by the Chamberlain Radicals prove con? clusively that the rank and file are not held together as formerly, and that defeat is made possible by the strong disaffection in their par? ty lines. The paramount duty of the Conser? vatives is to sustain the nominees of the Inde? pendent Republicans with entire unanimity, and the third of November will record the ver? dict of the masses against .he shameful mis? management of the State government, teaching a lesson to party leaders that will exert an in? fluence for good throughout the future history of the State. Let every man be active, vigi? lant and untiring in defence of the right, and the platform of Honesty and Economy will triumph in the coming election. The northern Press on South Carolina. The New York Journal of Commerce, the leading commercial newspaper of the country, says: "South Carolina is the scene of the most remarkable political movement of the age?-a movement which, under proper guid? ance, may work out the redemption of the whole South. It is nothing less than the con? solidation of the Conservative party, including all the white tax-payers of the State, with the Independent wing of the Republicans, com? posed chiefly of freedmen. The prosperity of the negroes at the South is inseparable from that of the whites. The freedmen need the co-operation, support, protection and direction of the whites; and the whites need the affec? tion, confidence, and, still more, the votes of the freedmen. We have faith that the next election in South Carolina will result in the overthrow of the heartless crew who have so long offered to mankind the spectacle of the worst government in the world !" The New York World thinks the tax-payers of this State have "wisely decided to take an active part in the pending elections." It be? lieves that Judge Green would be a vast im? provement upon Chamberlain and Moses, and that "the only way to defeat the band of con? spirators led by Chamberlain is for the Con? servatives to work with heart and soul for the ?lection of Judge Green." The New York Times says that "whatever may be the immediate result of the Indepen? dent movement, the final effect cannot but be good. The negroes are evidently learning to pay some little attention to the character, as well as the political professions, of candidates; and that is a long step forward. The prospects for retrenchment in the expenses of govern? ment, and for appropriation of the revenues to their proper uses, even if the Independents and Conservatives do not elect their candi? dates, will be far better than if they had never made an effort." The New York Evening Post announces that the political signs from South Carolina con? tinue to be favorable. "Very gratifying assur? ances come to us that the colored voters are beginning to perceive that they have been used too long by unscrupulous politicians, who have employed partisan prejudices to promote their own private fortunes. It will be a novel spectacle in South Carolina to see the negroes voting against the present tribe of office-hold? ers; but there arc reasous for thinking that large numbers of them mean to do so. The certainty of a political deliverance for the honest men of South Carolina now depends solely upon the possibility of a fair election." The New York Repress commends the wis? dom of the Democrats in supporting the Inde? pendent Republicans, "for, until the plunder? ers are rooted out, there is no possible hope of decent government." The New York Nation, a thoroughly inde? pendent, non-partisan journal, says: "In South Caroliua, the principal duty of a reform mag? istrate now would be to keep the hands of thieves out of the public treasury; in this work, Mr. Chamberlain must himself admit, that be lamentably failed while in office." The New York Tribune strikes the key-note m saying that "everything now depends upon the heartiness with which the Independents are supported by the white voters." These are the utterances of leading, influen? tial newspapers of the great metropolis of the nation, representing every shade of political opinion, and all of them strongly against the aspirations of Mr. Chamberlain. Every citi? zen of South Carolina, white and colored, should ponder well over his duty in this im? portant crisis, and resolve firmly that he will never lend any aid to the perpetuation of the present corrupt rulers in office, nor enable them to triumph in the coming election by giving them a negative support in remaining away from the polls. J Democratic Victories. It has been a long time since we recorded such gratifying news as the returns of the re? cent elections in Ohio and Indiana, which re? sulted in overwhelming victories for the Dem? ocratic party. The election was carried in Ohio by nearly 20,000 majority, and the ma? jority in Indiana is not less than 18,000 votes. I These triumphs were achieved by an uncom ! promising, unyielding adherence to the Demo ! cratic party. Last year the Democracy of Ohio won the fight by a small majority on the same platform, which encouraged them to per? severe on this line, until now the State is entirely under their control. The victory is not divided with either the Liberal Republi? cans or the farmer's movement, which latter seemed at one time likely to produce a disinte? gration of old parties. It is simply and strictly a Democratic triumph, upsetting the majorities in their favor, and making inroads upon the Republican party. The lesson taught by these victories implies nothing more or less than that the Democracy possesses a wonderful amount j of vitality, and that the next Presidential cam {paign will be conducted by the Democrats and Republicans, without the intervention of a third party. Every effort was made by the Republicans to stem the tide which had set in against them. The Louisiana troubles, the White Leagues, the scattering outrages here and there over the South, were made to perform full service in arousing the masses against the Democrats, who were held responsible for everything done in the Southern States. But the people of the Western States have grown weary of the tire? some stories so often invented to suit the occa? sion, and are beginning to acknowledge that the Republicans alone are justly chargeable with whatever disorder and rioting may occur in this section of the country, since that party has had exclusive control of South Carolina and Louisiana, from whence it is pretended there comes so much hostility and antipathy towards the negro race. These "patent out? rages" have surfeited the good people of the West, who turn a deaf ear to enthused orators dilating on the subject, or boldly march over into the Democratic ranks, as an answer to this stale, fiat and unprofitable argument, which only seeks to perpetuate power by relu? ming the embers of hate and rekindling the fires of discord between the sections. The immediate effect of these victories for the Western Democrats, besides increasing their local strength in future contests, will be? come perceptible in other States before many days roll around. New York and Pennsylva? nia are to elect State officers and Congressmen on the 3rd of November, and if is reasonable to suppose that the Democrats in those locali? ties will be encouraged by the recent victories, while a corresponding depression will naturally ensue among their opponents. It is too much to expect a triumph in both States, but the signs of the times point to a coming victory in New York.

The merchants and business men of Ander? son have agreed to close their places of business on Friday, 30th of October, for the entire day, to allow their employees an opportunity of at? tending the County Fair. Our friends from the country will take due notice of this agree? ment, as no business will be transacted on the day specified. The Berger Family, widely known as the "Swiss Bell Ringers," always so popular among audiences of intelligence and refinement, have entered upon their annual tour for 1874-75, leaving their home in Michigan on the 1st of September. The troupe is now giving concerts in West Virginia, and we hope they will visit our town the coming winter. We are indebted to Mr. R. S. Bailey for sam? ples of wheat grown in California, and recently forwarded to him by an uncle, Chas. G. Bailey, an old resident of the Golden State, who re? moved from Anderson thirty or forty years ago. The varieties of wheat are known as the Chili, Sonora and Australian. Our friend Smith pro? poses to test the several varieties, with a view to ascertaining the most suitable for this cli? mate. We are informed by Mr. H. B. Fant, our ac? commodating depot agent, that owing to a cer? tain enlarged system of cotton packing, by which seven and eight hundred pounds is very often packed into a single bale, that hereafter bales of cotton weighing over 4G0 pounds will be charged for extra, as fourth class freight, or fifty cents per hundred pounds. On bales weighing over 4G0, freight will be charged from 450 pounds. THE COUNTY FAIR. The arrangements are completed for the Seventh Annual Fair of the Anderson Farm? ers' and Mechanics' Association. The pro? gramme of the week, together with a list of the awarding committees, will be found in an? other column. The usual arrangements with the railroads have been perfected for the trans? portation of freight and passengers, and every? thing indicates a lively and pleasant occasion. j ACTION OF THE DARK CORNER. We understand that the citizens of the Dark Corner held a primary election on Saturday last, which resulted in the unanimous choice of the following gentlemen : For Senator, John B.Moore; House of Representatives?H. R. Vandiver, James L. Orr and R. W. Simpson ; Judge of Probate, W. W. Humphreys ; School Commissioner, Thomas P. Benson ; County Commissioners?0. H. P. Fant, Joshua Jami? son and Wm. M. Leavcll. Some twenty-five or thirty votes were cast, we are informed. OCTOBER TERM. Court convened at this piace on Tuesday morning last, Judge T. H. Cooke presiding. His Honor's charge to the Grand Jury was brief, but to the point. He told them that as they had already served two terms, it was not necessary for him to say much to them. Upon the matter of public offices, he charged them particularly to examine into those of the Trial Justices and the School Commissioner. After some further business, the Court adjourned over until Wednesday morniug, and still con? tinues in session. There are but few cases on docket, aud it is expected that the term will be short. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. We arc informed that a new Division of this order was organized by A. B. Towers, Esq., at Neal's Creek Church, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 11th, with the following officers: J. N. Vandiver, W. P.; J. A. Major, W. A.; H. C. Shirley, R. S.; A. A. Carpenter, A. R. S.; W. A. McFall, F. S.; E. M. Holland, Treas.; J. B. Carpenter, Con.; L. C. Todd, A. C.j J. L. Reynolds, I. S.; J. C. Major, O. S.; Mike McGce, P. W. P.; A. Langston, Chaplain. The total membership numbers thirty-one zealous and efficient workers, who will advance the cause of temperance in that community. The organization is known as Broadaway Di? vision, and we wish it an enduring success. PRESB YTERIAN CEMETER Y. The Ladies' Society of the Presbyterian Church have resolved to repair the enclosure of the burial grounds in the rear of the church; to plant around it a hedge which may afford a permanent protection, and to make such other internal improvements as they may be able to accomplish. They have likewise determined to enclose the front lot around the church with a suitable fence. For these purposes they have already asmall amount of money, about ninety dollars, secured by their industry. But as this amount will be inadequate to carry out their laudable and praiseworthy designs, an appeal is made to all interested in this object, and es? pecially in the improvement of tho burial grounds, for assistance Mrs. A. B. Towers and Mrs. 1). S. Maxwell have been appointed by the society to receive all contributions for this purpose, and as it is desirable to commence the improvements immediately, it is hoped a gen? erous response will be made by friends at once through the above named ladies. J ADDRESS OF GEN. McGOWAN. Court was adjourned for a short time on Tuesday last, for the purpose of hearing an address on the situation and its remedies by Gen. Samuel McGowan, of Abbeville, the Conservative nominee for Congress from the Third District. Hon. J. S. Murray was called to the chair, and in a few appropriate remarks, stated the objects for which the meeting had assembled, viz.: That some three weeks ago the Conservative Convention met at Newberry for the purpose of nominating a suitable can? didate to represent the people cf the Third District in Congress. He said that the Con? vention nominated Gen. McGowan, of Abbe? ville, a gentleman of ability, integrity and honesty, and one who had, in the civic and military offices which he had held, always been faithful to the trust"? reposed in him. He then introduced Gen. McGowan, who arose and said: My fellow-citizens of Anderson, this is a very novel position for me, since I am no poli? tician. I have made no money from politics, for my life has been spent at the bar; yet, under the circumstances I mean to communi? cate my sentiments to you. I did not seek the position, neither did I want to go to Congress, but since I have been nominated, I will, if elected, endeavor to the best of my ability to discharge my duty satisfactorily to all. For fifteen consecutive years I represented the good old District of Abbeville in the State Legisla? ture. Immediately after the war, you, the citizens of the Third Congressional District, elected me to Congress, ana I went, but was denied a seat in that bouy because we were not reconstructed. I have earned the bread for the support of myself and family at the bar aud by the sweat of ray brow. I concluded that it was proper for me to accept the nomination for Congress, and, if elected, I shall certainly try and do what is right, so help me heaven. I saw the parabola made by the first shell of the war, fired from Fort Johnson, in Charleston harbor, and heard the last gun fire at Appo mattox. Those who have been faithful in the past, are the most likely to be true in the fu? ture. It would be injuch better for the whole country that we should have our entire liberty ^ and not be only partially freemen. We are one in territory, in government, and in the matter of taxes with other States, but not one in the spirit of liberty, of right aud of justice. If the political reconstruction of the Southern States had been left at the close of the war to Gens. Lee and Grant, it would have been done much better and more in a spirit of right by j those great leaders. I do not like self-adula? tion, therefore I will not say more concerning myself, but will refer you to my past acts, my record and my character. I was born on the banks of the beautiful Saluda, on the Laurens side, near Puckett's Ferry, and have toiled be? tween the plow-handles, and worked up to what I am now. I spent two years battling on the plains of Mexico, and four years in the 1 late Civil War. It has been my utmost inten? tion to keep up good fraternity and peace be? tween the races, for are we not one in territory and in government? I have never been ex? treme, but have always advocated justice, peace j and good will to all men. What are the exe gencies of the country at the present time? We are all poor, our taxes are increased. Our rulers have made inventories of our kitchens, our trundle beds and frying pans. They have squeezed all the money out of us, like the juice is squeezed from au orange, and have entailed upon us millions of debt. And what has been done with the money? No public use has been made of it, no railroads built, no im? provements made. Where, then, is it gone but into the pockets of a band of robbers. It is bad enough to be poor, but still worse to know that not one dollar of these taxes have been used for good purposes. No, it has been stol? en. Unless we get reform in this State gov? ernment we are ruined. In the lowest depths there is a deeper hell still, where, unless speedy reform is made, we are destined to go down, down like a mill-stone. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, then, let partyism be done away with, and let it sink to rise no more, and let us all band together to bring about honesty, economy and reform iu the State gov? ernment. Let our watch-word be honesty and reform, and let the same be inscribed upon our banners. As all cry for reform now, how shall we decide ? It is very easy to make profes? sions?professions, however, are but words, and these words wind. In order to escape after the theft has been committed, one thief gonorally cries stop the thief, and mingles with the crowd in pursuit, just as if he were wholly innocent This is the way with certain parties at this period, who are clamoring loudly for reform. No man in South Carolina ever made sweeter or greater promises than did F. J. Moses, jr., two years ago, and on these he was elected. Now, his own party has repudiated him, and cast him out. We can see now to our sorrow what splendid fruit these promises brought forth. If two parties make promises of reform^ and you really wish it, why trust new agents rather than the old ones who brought upon you distress and ruin. Employ new men to do your business, and to carry out the principles of honesty, economy and reform, for it is not good to put old wine into new bottles, neither can you learn an old dog new tricks. Neither God nor nature, nor Yale College ever gave to this old party the patent right to hold this govern? ment forever. There are more than five hun? dred outside who are capable, and might be chosen to run the machine. Among these there has already been chosen a good, honest, upright and able mau in the person of Judge John T. Green, and if the people study their own interests, they will certainly elect him to the position of Governor of this State. In a Republican form of government, every con? stituency, be it large or small, deserves to be represented by one of its own number. Has this been the case in South Carolina? No. The theory of Republican government is, that the people arc the legislators, the sovereigns and tho governors. If I represent you in Washington, I am your substitute, and you speak through me. The population of the United States is so great, and its territory so extensive that there must be representatives. We desire that the people in every section be represented by one of themselves. Shall tho once proud, noble and chivalric people of South Carolina submit to foreign representa? tion, and go down, clown to utter ruin ? I look around upon these men who I have heard tram}), tram]), aud whom 1 have seen in the i desperate charge, and ask arc you now willing to be represented by one of your own men, who would give you right and justice? I will now exhibit to you a map of the State, in order to show you how our legislators have laid off this Congressional District (exhibits map.) All the Counties are contiguous with the ex? ception of Richland, which has been included, by a hop, skip and a jump of twenty miles, in order that some of those fine gentlemen who reside at Columbia may represent the Third Congresssional District in Congress. This tacking on of Richland has been done in direct violation of the Act of Congress, of 1862, which provides that each Congressional Dis? trict shall be composed of contiguous territory. Regardless of this, however, our law-makers have followed the plan of Albert Gerry, of Massachusetts, and gerrymandered our District ?cut it up to suit themselves. I am not opposed to immigration coming into this State, provided they are of the right sort, for here are our lands lying waste and our water powers unutilized, and it is to our inter? ests to have them developed, and our country once more made to blossom like the rose; but I am opposed to any one coming here and car? rying the money out of the country. J. J. Patterson in a recent speech denounced South Carolina as inhospitable to strangers, and I deny it as being basely false. It has always been the pride of South Carolina to welcome the stranger, and some of our greatest men have come from other States. Go to Boston and you will be permitted to work in the fac? tories, but you would not be allowed to repre? sent them under any circumstances. "We don't want to advertise for people to come here and hold our offices, for we can do that ourselves. My colored friends, we are all in one boat; then, let us pull together, and bring about good government. The man who endeavors to stir up strife between you and the white race is no friend of yours. Judge H?ge has been here only six years, while I have been here all my life. He has held several prominent offi? ces under the State government, and has even now a good office, but wants to go to Congress. It will cost the State $30,000, provided Judge H?ge is elected to Congress. I now thank you, my friends, for your atten? tion, and trust that you will all vote for me at the coming election. The speaker was frequently applauded. E. B. Murray, Esq., offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, we are greatly impressed with the necessity of having an abler, fairer and ' more capable representation in the National Congress, to present faithful and true accounts of the condition and necessities of this State. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we most heartily endorse the nomination of Hon. Samuel McGowan for Congress from this district, and pledge him our cordial support in the coming campaign and election. The resolutions were seconded by Col. Coch ran in a neat speech. He said that he would heartily support Gen. McGowan, because he thought a brave soldier was incapable of a mean act. The meeting then adjourned. GREEN AND DELANEY MEETING. On Wednesday evening, the 14th inst., in the absence of Judge Green, who was detained at home on accountof a serious accident which happened to one of his children, R. H. Cain, the Independent Republican nominee for Con? gressman from the 3rd District, made his ap? pearance, and addressed a large audience of both white and colored in the Court House, Mr. Cain was introduced by the Chairman, Col. John R. Cochran, and in a well delivered speech, set forth the objects of hi3 mission. He urged the colored people to vote for Judge Green in preference to Chamberlain, stating as his reasons for thus urging them, that while the political character of the former was un? tarnished by fraud or corruption, and his hon? esty, ability and integrity unquestioned, the lat? ter had, during his connection with the State government as Attorney General, given his official aid and advice in certain matters of in? terest, which entailed upon the State a great portion of its now heavy debt ; that he was instrumental in bringing forward the nefarious Conversion Bonds, which were so detrimental in their character to pubiic interests that even a corrupt Legislature repudiated them. Judge Green, he said, was, furthermore, a good and true republican, and one who had always been, and always would be the friend of the colored man, and would do him full justice in all things. He then went on to speak of Maj. Delaney, saying that he was a colored man, a good and honest one, and a true Republican ; that he had never filled a public office under the State Government, and on account of his ability, if elected to the position of Lieutenant Governor, he would reflect much credit on his race, and assist in retrieving the fallen fortunes of the State He then said that the colored people had been duped into believing that they did not pay their quota of the taxes, simply because the'majority of them were not proper? ty owners. All this, he said, was fal?e, for in proportion to the increase of taxes, there would be a like increase in the per centage on provis? ions and goods, and the colored people buying these paid their quota of the tax indirectly. He then said that he was the nominee of the Independent Republicans for Congress from the 3rd District, and a few further remarks closed. The speaker was much interrupted during the delivery of his address. Hon. J. S. Murray was then called upon for his views, and in a brief and able speech, ap? pealed to the colored people to assist their white friends in bringing back once more a system of good government to South Carolina. He told them that this could only be done by voting for Green and Delaney. in preference to corruptionists, and asked them if in sickness and distress, in penury and want they did not seek for assistance from their white friends at homo; then, why could they not trust them in political matters. He hope that they would consider this matter, and act in it as they should do in justice to both races, and the land which gave them birth, fed and clothed them. The speaker was much cheered. The meeting then adjourned. We regret to chronicle the death of Mr. B. 0.
