Editorial Notes.
"The tax bill?why it should be ve?
toed," is the title of a pamphlet by James
G. Thompson, editor of the Union-Her?
ald, and is an exhaustive argument on
the subject. A number of copies have
been sent to this office for distribution.
Call and get one.
Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, has appoint?
ed Hon. D. M. Key, of East Tennessee,
to succeed the late Ex-President Johnson
in the United States Senate. Mr. Key is
a thorough Democrat, but announces
that he will be no mere partisan. His
appointment is received with universal
satisfaction throughout East Tennessee.
The Beaufort Tribune has been told
that the Attorney General telegraphed
Lieut. Gov. Gleaves to offer a reward for
the capture*of Parker, when he escaped
from jail. This would seem to indicate
that Mr. Melton at least recognized
Gleaves as the legal Governor at that
time. It is a nice family quarrel, and
will tend to shape things for the next
campaign.
The body of Grimwood, who ascended
with the celebrated ?eronaut, Donaldson,
in a balloon from the city of Chicago
about the first of July, has been found
in lake Michigan, and fully identified by
the clothing, watch, papers, &c The
balloon nor Donaldson have as yet been
heard of, though it is pretty certain Don?
aldson has been lost in the lake. This
will probably put a quietus upon naviga?
tion by means of the balloon for some
time to come.
The Blackville Sun learns from good
authority that an informal caucus of the
leading Republican members of the
Legislature has been held, and that it
was decided to impeach or attempt to
Impeach Governor Chamberlain should
he veto the supply bill. It is to be
hoped his Excellency will not allow
himself to be bullied. The tax bill is
a grand swindle, and should be knocked
into the head.
We would like to- direct the attention
of our legislators to the necessity for a
dog law in this State. The important
and profitable business of sheep-raising
is seriously retarded by the immense
number of worthless dogs, whose chief
avocation is to create mischief and an?
noy neighbors. Estimating the number
of dogs in South Carolina at 200,000,
which is about three for every one repor?
ted now for taxation, a moderate tax
would yield an increased revenue to the
State, which might be set aside for the
support of public schools. One dollar
per head will not be exorbitant, and yet
that amount would be equal to nearly
two mills upon the taxable property of
the State, which would relieve the pres?
sure of general taxation to some extent.
Such a provision might decrease the
number of dogs, but in proportion as this
useless population is decreased the busi?
ness of sheep husbandry would thrive
and prosper.
The committee of physicians appoin?
ted by Judge Cooke to examine into the
mental condition of Edward F. Stokes,
Esq., who has been confined in the
Greenville jail for two years, for con?
tempt of court in supplementary pro?
ceedings, have reported that they found
him deranged upon the subjects of relig?
ion and politics, and that while he is not
responsible for his acts, prompted by his
views upoa these subjects, he is not oth?
erwise incapacitated for attending to his
business affairs,, and that as confinement
in prison will only augment his mental
disorder and impair his health, they re?
commend his discharge. Judge Cooke
thereupon ordered his release from prison
ttntil the further order of the Court, and
issued a rule against Mr. Stokes, requir?
ing him to shew cause why his name
should not be stricken from the roll of I
attornevs for contempt of court. Mr.
Stokes' case is clearly one of contempt of I
court, and while Judge Cooke's action
has heretofore been in accordance with
law, his recent step3 for the release of
Mr. Stokes have been well-timed and
merciful, and are highly commendable
hi the Judge.
The initiative steps for the formation
of a National Union Party to run Gen.
N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, for Presi?
dent, with Hon. L. Q. C. Lainar, of Mis?
sissippi, or some Southern man, for Vice
President, were taken in Boston on the
21st inst. No prominent men of cither
party were present, but a State Central
Committee were appointed and a plat?
form of principles adopted, declaring
Democratic or Republican organizations
dangerous, and calling for a party of |
peace. It condemns the enormous frauds
of the government, dishonest officials,
general monopolies and corporations
tending to oppress the people. Stuhlen
contractions of the currency are declared
dangerous, the only safe way to specie
payments being to make the promises of
the nation as valuable as private notes.
Gen. Banks was not present, but wrote
stating that he was no candidate for the
Presidency, and did not desire to stand
in the way ofthat governmental reform
demanded by three-fourths of the people.
This party can hardly amount to much
and (ten. Banks knows it. His letter in?
dicates that he is pretty well satisfied
that the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency next time will walk over the
track.
Tbe Way to the West.
At the recent meeting of the stock?
holders, and directors of the Spartanburg
and Asheville Railroad, which was held
in Hendersonville, N. G, it appears that
great dissatisfaction was manifested by
the representatives from Charleston at
the evident desire of Spartanburg to
control the future management of this
railroad scheme. We will not enter into
the merits of the controversy which has
grown out of the action of the directors,
by which Mr. A. C. Kaufman, of Charles?
ton, was virtually ousted from the posi?
tion of Secretary and Treasurer. This
led to the resignation of Hon. C. G.
Memminger, of Charleston, who has
served as President for the last two
years. Hon. D. R. Duncan was chosen
President and W. K. Blake, Esq., Secre?
tary and Treasurer, both citizens of
Spartanburg. These are capable and
upright gentlemen, whose administration
will doubtless prove satisfactory to those
interested, and whose efforts will be hon?
estly directed towards pushing the enter?
prise to completion.
The attitude of Charleston, however,
upon the subject of railroad communica?
tion with the West, intimately concerns
this portion of the State, especially when
the completion of the Blue Ridge Rail?
road is once again under discussion. The
Charleston Nercs and Courier, in review?
ing the circumstances connected with the
meeting alluded to, makes an emphatic
declaration to the effect that it does not
expect any longer to secure the desired
connection with the West by way of the
Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad.
All the bright and promising results so
often depicted in its columns are van?
ished away, and our contemporary is
looking elsewhere for the realization of
oft-repeated dreams. We would not ut?
ter an unkind word to our friends in
Spartanburg, nor throw an obstacle in
the way of their project, although wo are
constrained to express the opinion that
Charleston is acting wisely in abandon?
ing a scheme not in sympathy with its
interests and advantages. Its true policy
is to foster and encourage the completion
of the Blue Ridge Railroad, whose con?
nections with that city are direct and
uninterrupted, and whoso control is vir?
tually within its grasp. The abandon?
ment of this line for another was unwise
and imprudent, In onr judgment, and our
principal seaport has much to regret
in advocating a scheme so barren of ac?
tual results to this State, for it is evident
that the Spartanburg and Asheville Rail?
road, with its connections, will never be
operated in the interests of our commer?
cial metropolis. Hence, we are glad to
perceive that the News and Courier, at
least, is awakened to the "true policy"
for South Carolina, which is to make the
Western connection with an extended
line of railroads "owned by persons
whose interests are identical and identi?
fied with those of South Carolina and
Charleston." Freed from its embarrass?
ments, and under new and brighter aus?
pices, we believe the Blue Ridge Railroad
and its connections offer this desirable
opening to our frieuds on the seaboard,
and we shall be delighted to learn that
the movement in Tennessee and North
Carolina meets with encouragement from
that quarter.
The Georgia Insurrection.
Our neighbors across the Savannah
River have been greatly excited during
the past week over a reported insurrec?
tion among the negroes in Washington,
Jefferson and Burke counties. Confes?
sions have been made to the effect that
nineteen counties of Georgia were em?
braced in the plans of the insurrectionists.
The discovery of the plot was made ten
or twelve days ago by finding a letter
from one of the leading negroes at a
place in Washington county where the
negroes are in the habit of drilling at
night. The writer commanded that all
the whites were to be massacred on Fri?
day last, 20th inst. As the day approach?
ed, the white people within the region
described became alarmed at the pros?
pect, and the authorities were invoked to
preserve the peace, and arrest the offen?
ders, who were arming and drilling in
small numbers at different points. The
affair created intense excitement through?
out Georgia, and prompt action was
taken by Gov. Smith to maintain the
peace and prevent bloodshed. Under
his authority, a sufficient military force
was congregated to uphold the civil au?
thorities in making arrests and suppress?
ing disorder. He promptly advised the
whites to bo calm, moderate and thought?
ful in word and action, and under his
admirable direction the whole affair has
been brought to a peaceful termination.
About one hundred negroes are now
under arrest, and at least twenty-fire of
them are ring-leaders, who will be held
for trial at an extra term of the Superior
Court this week. Several of the prison?
ers have made confessions, and all agree
in the nature and extent of the proposed
insurrection, which was concocted by a
Gen. Morris, colored, who was to be
assisted by Gen. Prince Rivers, in this
State. Rivers has printed a card deny?
ing all knowledge of the affair, but the
testimony points strongly to his guilt.
He is expressly named in the confessions
as the head-centre, with Morris as second
iu command. This villainous scheme
originated with the Union League, which
is being reorganized in the Southern
States for desperate purposes. The Geor?
gians are to be commended for modera?
tion and forbearance under these exaspe?
rating circumstances, where there wits a
foul conspiracy to murder all the whites,
except the handsomest women, who were
to be used for vile purposes. Gov. Smith
deserves credit for his noble conduct and
manly counsel.

The meeting was called to order by tho
election of John B. Watson as Chairman
and J. Baylis Lewis Secretary.
The committee on scales, consisting of
A. R. Broyles, D. S. Maxwell and James
Wilson, reported that they conferred
with Col. Thos. Dodamcad, the Superin
tendant of the Greenville & Columbia
Railroad, and he expressed himself in a
very courteous way, saying that if neces?
sary he would erect two pairs of scales
on the depot platform for the purpose of
weighing cotton, and that until those
scales are erected tho cotton buyers may
use the scales now in the depot The
report was accepted.
Upon motion of Mr. Towers, the meet?
ing then went into eloction for Cotton
Weigher to serve the ensuing cotton
year, which resulted in the unanimous
choice of Mr. Joseph B. McGce.
Upon motion, Mr. Bleckley was ap?
pointed as a committee of one to draw
up a bond for one thousand dollars,
with oath of office attached, for the
faithful performance of duties; said bond
to be made payable to the TowR Council
of Anderson for uso of the corporation
of said Town ; and also a contract speci?
fying the amount of compensation the
Weigher is to receive, and also the time
for which he is to serve.
The following resolution was then
adopted:
Resolved, That the compensation for
weighing cotton shall be five cents per
bale, to be paid by the buyer.
It was then moved and adopted that
Dan'l. Brown, Jas. W'ilson and W. F.
Barr be appointed as a committee to con?
fer with Col. Dodamead in reference to
the erection of scales as before mentioned
for the use of the Board of Trade, and ask
him to act as soon as convenient.
It was moved that when we adjourn
we should adjourn to meet at 9 o'clock
a. m. on Wednesday next, 25th inst, in
rooms over the store of Bleckley, Br wn
& Co., for the purpose of perfecting the
organization of this Association, by the
election of officers, etc. Motion carried.
On motion, the Secretary was reques?
ted to forward a copy of these proceed?
ings to the Anderson Intelligencer for
publication.

Another Letter from Mr. Davis.
The objections made by the Grand
Army of the Republic to Mr. Davis ad?
dressing the citizens of Illinois upon agri?
cultural topics has resulted in a letter of
determination from Mr. Davis, in which
he deals a heavy blow to the political
agitators ofthat organization by unfold?
ing the purport of what he wished to say
in the proposed address. His action in
the matter will not be regarded captious
or capricious, and his graceful letter will
satisfy the people of Illinois that it is
their loss in not having so capable and
instructive a speaker to advance views
promotive of the common interest. The
New York Herald regards this letter as
frank and manly, and that it will do
much good, especially in the North.
The letter is as follows:
Memphis, Tenn., August 15, 1875.
Henry 1\ Khnbafl, Secretary of the Win
nebago County Agricultural Society,
Rockford, III.
Dear Sir?I yesterday sent to you a
telegram announcing my revocation of
my conditional acceptance of the invita?
tion to address your association at their
annual meeting in September next. The
long period which has elapsed since the
receipt of your first letter and the con?
siderate courtesy which has marked your
correspondence, make it my duty to the
Board and to myself that sufficient ex?
planation should be given of this change
of purpose. Three objects mainly in?
duced me to accept the invitation:
First?The hope that personal inter?
course might remove some of the preju?
dices which had been generated by parti?
san faction and nurtured by individual
and sectional hate. Anxious as in
former years to promote the interest of
our great valley of the Mississippi, and
believing that with mutual confidence
and cointelligence much could be done
for their advancement, I only delayed
my acceptance of your invitation until it
became reasonably probable that it could
be met. The productive capacity of the
Northwest needs for its development
cheaper and safer transportation to the
markets of the Southwest and also to
those of foreign countries. In England
especially earnest attention has been di?
rected for several years past to more
direct and economical trade with the
Mississippi Valley. In this connection
there was a desire to confer with the
Patrons of Husbandry in your rich and
prosperous section, to discuss with them
questions involved in securing better
means of transporting your farm products
to the most favorable markets, and of
providing agencies which should insure
larger returns to freemen, and by such
conference to learn the views of one
member of the family of the Mississippi
Valley, a family the chief interest of all
members of which is agriculture, but cul?
tivators of such various crops as to make
trade among themselves extensive and
lucrative, while it stamps upon each and
all the same interests and the same policy
as to their foreign trade. To render such
conference effectual there must needs be
a disposition to attend to the subject
under consideration, surely not to pur?
pose to smother it by the interposition of
matters having no just relation to it.
Second?An effort was made to rccog
nize the courtesy of vour Board, and I j
was encouraged to believe that your re?
ception of me would be beneficial rather
than injurious to your association. This
was the more supposable because several
other agricultural societies in Illinois
had in like manner invited me to address
their annual meetings. Yesterday I re?
ceived a printed paper, it being a protest
of a number of your fellow-countrymen
against the action of your Board in their
invitation to me to make the annual ad?
dress at the county meeting; thereupon
I sent to you a telegram withdrawing my
acceptance of the invitation, under the
conviction that it would not be useful or
agreeable to participate in the meeting,
and I hope that neither your association
nor the directors will suffer harm by the
delay in procuring an orator or by the
correspondence which has caused it.
Third?The object was to gratify a
wish long entertained to see in its culti?
vated dress the country known to me as
a trackless wilderness. But that being
merely a personal gratification it may be
indulged at my convenience or postponed
indefinitely. I can well believe that the
cause which has changed my purpose
was as unforeseen by you as by me, and
you may be assured that I feel no dissat?
isfaction toward the directors or yourself
and have suffered no personal embarrass?
ment from the event, as the invitation
was unexpected and only acceptable a*
an expression of general good will. So
my only regret is the loss of opportunity
to promote the public interest with which
the welfare of your communitv is identi?
fied.
Again expressing the hope that neither
the directors nor yourself may sutler
injury or annoyance, and thanking you
for the kindness and consideration you
have manifested, I am respectfully yours,
Jefferson Davis.
Louisville Medical College.
We have received a letter from the
executive committee of the Louisville
(Ky.) Medical College, requesting the
publication of the following card, which
is a generous proposition to young men
of slender means who are anxious to re
receive a thorough medical etlueation.
This system of beneficiary scholarships
in medical schools was originated and
developed by the Trustees of the Louis
ville Medical College, and every year the
fact is extensively advertised that young
men who are unable to pay for their ed?
ucation are entitled to receive its benefits
upon application. Any young man who
is desirous of attending this College for
the next session would do well to consult
the editors of this journal, who will take
pleasure in furnishing other information
to the applicant We annex tho card to
which reference is made:
The Trustees of the Louisville Medical
College (Louisville, Ky.) have, in accord?
ance with the provisions of their charter,
established a Beneficiary System, whereby
any young man studying medicine and
being unable to pay for his education,
may receive a Beneficiary Scholarship,
which relieves him of payment of the
Professors' fees. The public will be
pleased to learn that this well known
College has abolished all fees for its di?
plomas; the Faculty being thus wholly
Uninterested pecuniarily in the result of
all examinations for graduation. For
particulars, address Dean of Louisville
Medical College, 163 Second Street,
Louisville, Ky.

Tor Ute Anderson Intelligencer.
Grange Pic Nie at Bowland Green.
On Saturday the 14th inst., we had the
pleasure of attending a .pic nie at Bowland
Green, situated a few miles from William?
ston, on the Anderson road. Having been
requested to report the results of the gather?
ing to the Anderson IntcU'njcncer, we will
endeavor to do so in as brief a manner as
possible.
Three other gentlemen besides oursclf ar?
rived at Bowland Green about ten o'clock,
and found a considerable crowd assembled,
some looking as though they had come with
the expectation of hearing some bod}' speak,
while others seemed to be dreaming in
wakefulness of the many good things roll?
ing in from every part of the surrounding
country. However, about eleven o'clock
those who were so anxious to "hear some
body speak" were relieved by an excellent
address delivered by Dr. H. I. Epting. It
was short, pithy and interesting, and, as
such speeches always do, commanded the
strictest attention of the bearers. The ex?
ordium of the discourse was delivered in a
quiet, gentle, but earnest manner, and
seemed at once to conciliate the minds of
the audience. The want of space will not
allow us to enter into full details of the
speech, but wc will simply say it was timely
and to the point, and that the Doctor left
many of us believing him to be quite as
much at home speech-making as when
standing by the bedside of a patient. In
other words, wherever you find the Doctor,
you strike "the right man in the right
place." Ho is certainly a working Granger,
and deserves the respect and admiration of
all persons who desire to see their country
once more in a prosperous condition. His
labors have not been in vain, for not only
the inhabitants of his own county and State
read and appreciate his speeches, but distin?
guished Grangers in Florida and Ohio ap?
prove them, and request the Doctor to press
forward with unrelenting boldness in the
noble cause. To be candid in our remarks,
we might say that the peroration of his
address would have been more interesting
and agreeable had he not forgotten the po?
etry he intended to add to its beauty. It is
hard for a speaker to forget what he wishes
to quote, and have to iutersperse with some
of his own production, and that two-thirds
prose. After the Doctor had made his old
fashioned school-boy bow, his speech was
complimented by several, while one brother
Granger standing near, wishing to compli?
ment the speaker most highly, said, in a
tone scarcely audible, "Golly, boys, Eps is
no bug-eater, nohow!"
Several calls were made for Dr. Moore,
who, after quietly laying aside his pipe,
arose and, after making a few appropriate
remarks, wished Bowland Green Grange
much success. Mr. J. B. Hogers was next
called for. The call was not at all expected
by him, as such had not before been the
case on pic nie occasions, but, notwithstand?
ing, he considered it better to try, and
"flunk," than to back right Square out.
Beginning with Adam in the Garden of
Eden, he endeavored to show that since his
fall there has been no real happiness, except
that bought 1)}' "the sweat of the brow."
He told the farmers to beware of profes?
sional men ; "especially," said he, "of those
men licensed to kill people?with all due
respect to my friends who have just spoken."
He was by this time considerably wanned
up, and, with two claps of his hands,
brought the little boys from the hushes like
cattle from a bottom about to he inundated.
Indeed, with hats oft', mouths open ami
cars erect, they looked as if they firmly
believed Demosthenes had arisen from the
dead, and having joined the Grangers, was
about to revolutionize the world. Having
spoken a short while, the speaker found a
convenient stopping place, and deemed it
prudent to close. Extempore speakers, you
know, have to watch for a stopping place,
and not go too high, lest they fall and by
the fall nun the whole.
Premiums were then awarded to those
who deserved them, Mr. E. M. Slopes get?
ting the one for the Hnest water-melon.
Fearing the appearance of rain, wc left for
Williamstoii. Those of our party who re?
mained reported a sumptuous dinner?a
most attractive feature on such occasions.
Good luck and a long life to Bowland Green
Grange!
