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. Kev. J. D. M. McCullough has accepted the Rectorship of Grace Church in Ander? son, and will conduct the services of his Church on the third Sabbath in each month. 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. HYMENEAL.
