THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 7th, 1875.
Democratic Reorganization.
We hare taken occasion heretofore to
give our views at some length upon this
important topic, which is attracting at?
tention and thoughtful consideration
throughout the State, and are pleased to
find ourselves in accord with the views
of a large majority of the Democratic
press of the State. The principal diffi?
culty in the minds of most journals seems
to be an unsettled program me to follow
after organization; but to our miud this
is a question for the organization itself
to decide upon. What we want now is
auch an organization, both State and j
County, as will secure unanimity of ac- \
tion on the part of our citizens, and keep
intact the mass of Democrats who must be?
come disorganized and conflicting in their
views and policy unless they have some
standard around which they can rally.
No party without thorough organization
can ever accomplish any desirable results,
and although there is "a Republican ma?
jority in this State there is great need of
a unification of the opinion of good men,
which can only be achieved by bringing
them together where they can discuss
and understand^each other's views. In
deed, the very fact that there is a large
Republican majority in this State renders
it more important to have an organiza?
tion of the Democracy, for if there was
an overwhelming Democratic majority
we could afford to risk the election of
good men without unity of action, but if
we ever expect to undo present evils and
to work out public good in South Caro?
lina it must be by a complete Democratic
organization, which will ensure a co-ope?
ration of the wisdom and property of the
State in such course as may be agreed
upon. This can never be done by indi?
viduals nor by a single newspaper or scv
eral newspapers, however great a claim
they may lay to leadership. It can only
be the result of regularly constituted
State and County Conventions deriving
their authority directly from the people
through primary clubs. This should be
inaugurated at once, instead of being de?
layed until the heat of the nest canvass
is upon us. If we would succeed it is
necessary for us to prepare ahead of time,
when the calm and deliberate judgment
of the people and their leaders can be se?
cured without any ol the fears, preju?
dices or undue influences which are
brought to bear pending a canvass. We
favor an immediate organization, and
though we have decided views as to the
policy to be pursued afterwards we shall
cheerfully abide and sustain the course
it may direct. For ourselves, however,
we prefer next time to go into the battle
beneath the bauner of Democratic prin?
ciples, and to run a National, State and
County ticket upon a Democratic plat
form. By so doing we will place our?
selves in sympathy with the great nation
al party which is surely marching to vic?
tory, and moreover we will show to the
world that we prefer fighting for princi?
ple rather than cringing before a craven
expediency which has not and cannot
benefit us. Rather let us contest for our
principles as Democrats, and at the end
of the fight if we cannot proclaim a great
victory we can at least prepare with cer?
tainty of success to do so at the election
two years later. We hope, therefore, that
all this discussion and expression of
opinion on the part of the press will re?
solve itself into a tangible movement,
which will bring together the shattered
fragments of the Democratic party in
South Carolina in such a manner as to
present a formidable array to be wielded
as may be deemed best for the public
good. Which county will begin the
work? We think the County Chairmen
of the Democratic party of the State
should take steps to secure organization.
President Grant Speaks.
The President read quite a lengthy
speech in Des M-oines, Iowa, on the 29th
ultimo, in which he referred to the days
when they suffered together for a cause
which they deemed worth fighting for,
and even dying for, and said they would
not, however, deny any privilege claimed
by themselves to those who fought against
them, but that, on the contrary, they
welcomed them as brothers of a common
heritage, to help build up the waste
places, and perpetuate the institutions of |
our country. He predicted a contest in
the near future which would not be
marked by any dividing line as Mason
or Dixon's, but by patriotism and intel?
ligence on the one side against supersti?
tion, ambition and ignorance on the other.
He wanted free thought, free speech, a
ftpe press, pure morals, unfettered relig?
ious sentiments and equal rights and
privileges for all, irrespective of nation?
ality, color or religion. He favors free
schools, unmixed with atheistic, pagan
or sectarian teachings; that religion be
left for the fire side, and that Church be
for ever kept free from State.
The speech in its main details was a
very sensible one, and had it been made
by one in whom the people have any
confidence, might be complimented as a
patriotic utterance. But it is rather late
for our President to fraternize the South,
Iand we are compelled to think his friend?
ship is induced by the de'cided condem?
nation which has been visited upon his
Southern policy by the Northern people.
Coming as it does after the emphatic ex?
pressions of opinion from the North in
favor of the'South, it has very much the
ring of demagogism. If he really en?
tertained kind feelings towards the South,
there is a much more practical way of
giving, expression to his views than by
going off into Iowa to talk about them.
It would only be necessary to remove the
hoard of incompetent and corrupt offi?
cials with which our Southern States are
cursed by his appointment, and place in
their stead honest and capable men.
Then by leaving the States without the
continual interference of Federal bayo?
nets, which the President's action in the
past has inflicted as a scourge and pesti?
lence upon our busineas and political
affairs for the past several years, he
might consistently express fraternal feel?
ings for us, and we could reciprocate
them, for while our people have no cring?
ing apology to make to the North for
their course in defending, even to battle
and death, the principles in which they
believed, yet, as patriots, they accept the
result of the late war, and will ever in
the future, as in the past, vindicate by
their actions a noble loyalty to their
country's principles and honor.
The remainder of the President's
speech is rather calculated to provoke a
uneer. We are, however, glad to see
that the subject of religion is occupying
his mind, and regret that he is so much
disturbed with the visions of a union
between Church and State, for, to say
the least of this matter, such ideas are
premature. There are but two, or per?
haps three, denominations whose relig?
ious faith would allow them to submit to
a union of Church and State, and neither
of these sects are in a position to demand
any such union, and they cannot contem?
plate the dreaded step with any prospect
of success. His remarks about colleges
being tree from denominational influen
j ces will do excellently for State institu
, tions, but there can certainly be no ob?
jection to any religious denomination
establishing its own colleges and impart?
ing instruction to those who may attend.
At least, it is a right which has long been
exercised, and will, we suppose, be con?
tinued, despite the President's opposi?
tion.
His whole speech appears to us to have
been a scheming one, intended to follow
public opinion as far m possible, and to
take advantage of any discordant ele?
ments which might present themselves.
He was silent upon the finances and the
third term, and appears only to have
spoken to ingratiate himself as far as
possible into popular favor.
A Novel Proceeding.
The City Court of Columbia was pre?
sided over on Saturday last by Alderman
Purvis, acting Mayor. Mr. Monteith, an
Attorney of the Richiand bar, was pres?
ent in Court upon other cases, and to his
astonishment a case against the firm of
Monteith & Bauskitt, for not paying the
city license for practicing law, was called.
He had not been served with any notice
of trial, and asked for further time to
make answer. It ivas refused, and upon
Iiis admission that he had not paid the
license he was fined $20 or sentenced to
ten days imprisonment, and ordered into
the custody of the Policeman until the
fine was paid. He appealed, and the
acting Mayor required the policeman to
keep him under arrest until he gave se?
curity to prosecute his appeal. Next
two cases, for keeping livery stables with?
out paying a license, were called, and
there being no evidence against them the
Mayor ordered them to be sworn, in order
to make them testify against themsolves,
which of course they declined doing, and
thereupon he fined them $20 or ton days
imprisonment. They too were kept
under arrest until they could send for
persons to go their security on a bond to
prosecute their appeal. Such monstrous
tyranny in the name of law has seldom,
if ever, been heard of in this country.
The whole proceedings were, from the
facts stated, without the form or authori?
ty of law, and Mr. Monteith will at once
enter a civil suit against the City Council
for damages, and also probably institute
a criminal indictment for oppression in
office. These proceedings will therefore
doubtless receive the condemnation they
must deserve as being arbitrary, oppres?
sive and unheard of in the annals of ad?
judicated cases.
There was much complaint in Charleston
that the election which took place yesterday
was to be participated in by a large number
of imported voters. Of course, each side
charges this dodge upon the other, so that
outsiders may very reasonably conclude
that both are to participate in the use of this
class of electors, or that ths whole thing is
intended for capital for the party which can
make most noise over it. If we remember
correctly, the advocates of Mayor Cunning?
ham were accused of this practice in the last
election, and as it was found profitable then
it may be attempted again. It is to be re?
gretted that .TOch insufficient election laws
exist, and it is the duty of the Legislature to
remedy tv; bvilotits next sitting, as Charles?
ton is not the only raiiuicipality which suf?
fers from election frauds, permitted by the
lack of proper legislation.
The Charleston News and Courier does a
palpable injustice whon it applies our re?
marks upon "irresponsible and solf-conetitu
ted leaders" to State Conventions and Exec?
utive Committees, which are reef Tuzed as
the exponents and representativesr . jevery
party. We made explicit reference*,.^ such
times as there were no such agenoies em?
ployed, and we are surpi?ed to find the News
and Courier, usually a fair antagonist, resort?
ing to a misrepresentation and misapplica?
tion of our language.

I For the Anderson Intelligencer.
(? Williamston, 6. C, Sept. 27, 1875.
( Messrs. Editors : As this is quite a cool
and bracing morning, I am disposed to write
you another short article in regard to the
improvements, etc., that are still going on
in the town of Williamston.
Since my last communication, we have
been favored with an excellent season of
rain, after a drought of several weeks. It
has cooled the atmosphere, which was very
warm, and will assist much in bringing out
[ late corn, sweet potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables which were suffering for rain.
We have recently had a scries of religious
meetings in all of our churches, commenc?
ing in the Baptist and ending in the Metho?
dist church. There were accessions to both
churches, and we trust some serious impres?
sions were made during the progress of those
j meetings which will not soon be forgotten,
and that some seed were sown which will
yet spring up, and in due time bring forth
fruit to the honor and glory of the Father.
The fanners in our vicinity had a fine
season for pulling and saving their fodder
before the rain, and fortunately nearly all
succeeded in saving and housing it dry.
Cotton picking season is now at hand, and
the farmers aro trying to make good use of
the favorable weather. It seems, however,
that the prices of that staple will hardly
justify them in raising this staple as a crop.
After they shall have settled off their liens,
bills for fertilizers, rents, etc., they will not
have much surplus money with which to
purchase supplies of flour, bacon, lard, etc.
Such a state of things ought not to be. Our
farmers, as a general rule, ought first and
foremost to raise meat enough for home
consumption, a sufficient quantity of grain
for the sustenauce of man and beast, and
then if they could grow cotton onough for
home consumption and have some to spare,
they would be enabled to realize more re?
munerative prices for it; and thus they
would be the more likely to have a little of
the "needful" on hand witli which to supply
their wants on a rainy day.
And now, in regard to the improvements
of our town, I must not omit to mention
that the sound of the carpenter's hammer
is heard from sunrise in the morning until
sunset in the evening. Would you not con?
sider this alone as ono conclusive evidence
of the fact that some kind of improvement
was on hand somewhere?
Well, to itemize a little, onr energetic and
wide awake physician, Dr. H. I. Epting, is
having a stove-room and other repairs added
to his dwelling house, and also outbuildings
erected upon the premises; but suffice it to
say, when completed and painted off, or
whitewashed in accordance with a new
recipe he is using, will no doubt add to the
comfort and appearance of the same.
Dr. B. F. Brown has had a new roof put
on his dwelling house, which gives It a very
neat and handsome appearance, making it
look like a new building, as it has recently
been repainted on the exterior. He has also
put an addition of several feet to the end of
his store-house near tho postoffice, which
gives it the appearance of a first class store.
Dr. J. W. Crymes is having erected a large
and beautiful residence on his lot near the
Presbyterian church, which, when comple?
ted, will be quite an ornament to that por?
tion of our town. The building is already
up, covered and whitewashed, one chimney
about completed, and the workmen-are pre?
paring for plastering the apartments on the
inside of the house. *
Mr. C. E. Horton, one of our most ener?
getic and go-a-head merchants, is putting up
a new building for a cotton gin and press,
which will be propelled by steam. It will
be completed in a few days, and prepared j
for work under the supervision of himself
or of his son.
The Female College Stock Co. has had a
good deal of work done on that building
recently in the way of plastering and finish?
ing up the interior of the edifice. I suppose
it will be completed soon. The College is
still in a prosperous and nourishing condi?
tion, under the supervision of President
Lander.
Various other improvements which have
taken place in our town within the last few
months of a similar and kindred nature
might be mentioned, but lest I weary you
and your readers, I had perhaps belter de?
sist. Suffice it to sa> that Williamston be?
gins to look like it was being turned inside
out, so many bright spots are making their
appearance in different portions of the town.
Even the ladies arc catching the spirit of
improvement in the arrangement of their
cooking and dining roonii, and some of
them have gone so far as to procure revolv?
ing dining tables, which preclude the neces?
sity of keeping servants to hand around
dishes.
Some changes have recently taken place
in our town in regard to tho ownership of
real estate and other property. Our popula?
tion is made up, in part, at least, of trading
persons, and if they can't effect a trade in
one way, they are very apt to do it in anoth?
er. Mr. J. B. Rogers recently purchased the
lot and dwelling belonging to the estate Of
Mrs. Clinkscales, deceased, at public outcry,
for the sum of $2000. The place in which
I Mrs. Lynch now resides, containing some
12 or 13 acres, was bought on last Saleday,
j at Andereon C. H? for $1075, by Dr. Epting.
It is said that the Rev. Mr. Finger is to tako
one-half of it. Only a few days ago Mr.
Thomas Crymes purchased the entire pos?
sessions of Mr. J. E. Pickle, within the in?
corporate limits of Williamston, for $6000.
Several other trades are in contemplation at
this time, and we have just learned that
Capt. W. K. Clement has sold to J. L. Wil?
liam?, Esq., fifty acre* of land with the im?
provements ujK)n the same for $3500.
It seems now that all our town lacks-to
make it a place of some renown, is a first
class newspaper. I think some one who
has the erffergy and means would do well to
p\u up an establishment of this kind in
Williamston, so that the outside world may
see and know what wo are doing in the
prosperous town of Williamston.
And now, for the present, at least, as a
good old clergyman used to say in conclud?
ing his sermons, "I'll add no more."
Respectfully yours, etc.,
WILLIAMSTON.
This may be called the age of books, for
truly to the making of many books there
is no end. Of course, there Is much of this
literature (?) which is mero trash, and if it
is not actually injurious to read, there is
certainly no advantage to be derived there?
from, and hence all time so spent is literal?
ly wasted. There arc enough good books to
occupy our whole reading time, and we
should make as judicious a selection of the
books we read as we would of the compan?
ions we choose. Every one should have
their favorite authors selected for the beauty
and purity of their thoughts; the learning
and research displayed in their writings, and
the cl9 ice of their diction ami style.
For the Anderson Intelligencer.
Messes. Editors : Allow me a little space
in your valuable journal to give a few views
upon the propriety of enacting a dog law in
accordance with the suggestion made in your
columns a few issues since. There can be
no doubt that there is much depredation
upon flocks of ehecpby dogs, and that this
profitable business is seriously injured there?
by. It is not, however, every species of dogs
tl at engage in sheep killing, but only the
short cared branch of the tribe, for as a mat?
ter of fact hounds never run sheep unlew
they are led into the practice by some of the
other Bpeciesof dogs. They are, however,
the deadly enemy of foxes, and therefore are
a security, and protection to sheep, poultry
and pigs. Tho writer knows of one pack of
hounds in this County which has caught
more than two hundred foxes since the war,
and during that time have never crippled a
sheep. If we had this number of foxes, with
their increase, in our mid9t they would be
quite a formidable enemy to sheep, &c.
This being the state of the case the legisla?
ture, if it enacts any law upon this subject,
should exempt hounds kept for running
foxes from its provisions, for they are by no
means a nuisance to our country.
A PATRON.
The excursionists to Charleston on last
Saturday were quite numerous, and the ex?
cursion train was so overcrowded that many
turned back at Belton and other points.
Probably two-thirds of the crowd were ne?
groes, many of whom are visiting Charleston
and CWumbia for the first time in their lives,
and doubtless many of them are spending
all their ready money upon this trip. These
excursion trains at greatly reduced rates are
comparatively new in this State, while they
are common and frequent in Georgia and
1 elsewhere. Recently, the colored people in
Georgia held a convention to discourage
their race from patronizing such trains, and
one of the speakers declared that the colored
race had uxpended $850,000 since the war
upon excursions, which had returned no
solid profit to them or their families. They
had frittered away 850 farms, valued at
$1,000 each, for the benefit of the railroads
and lessees of trains. His figures may or
may not be accurate, but thero is no doubt
that many persons, white and colored, are
sacrificing farms and mules, to say nothing
of comfort and independence, when they are
expending money uselessly because the in?
ducements offered are cheap rates.
James T. Aldrich, Esq., a respected and
able attorney of the Barnwell Bar, died at
his residence in Barnwell, on the 20th inst.,
after a brief but painful illness. Mr. Aldrich
was a member of a family which made itself
conspicuous in our State, and obtained de?
served honors at the hands of our people.
He himself was gifted with a fine intellect,
which was well trained and highly cultiva?
ted, both in the departments of literature
and of the profession of his choice. He was
an honorable and useful man, whose decease
will be lamented, not only by the circle of
his friends, but by the citizens of his County
and State.
