JAS. A. HOTT, E. B. MURRAY, Editors. THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. Hth, 1875. The State Tax Union. Gen. James Chesnut, President of the State Tax Union, announces that this body will assemble in Columbia on Tues? day, 23rd of November, instant, at 12 o'cloek m., in accordance with the pro? visions of the constitution, and a full attendance is requested. Messrs. M. C. Parker, J. S. Murray and John B. Sitton were the delegates elected last year from Anderson County. As there has been no meeting of the County Tax Union the present year, we presume the former delegate} still retain their positions. The General Assembly. This tody will convene in the city of Columbia on Tuesday, 23rd inst., and the people of South Carolina will speedi? ly learn whether or not genuine reform is to be vouchsafed through the present administration. The legislative depart? ment will be held responsible to the peo? ple for any dereliction of duty in this respect, and upon the members of the General Assembly will devolve great re? sponsibilities this winter. We will se? cure for our readers full and accurate reports of the proceedings from time to time. Distiguished Speakers. At the railroad meeting held in the Court House on Friday evening last, res? olutions were adopted to hold a mass meeting on Saleday in December, and a committee was appointed to'invite"dis tinguished gentlemen from various places to address the meeting. In accordance with that action, invitations have been extended to a number of gentlemen, in? cluding Gen. Samuel McGowan, of Ab? beville ; Y. J. Pope, Esq., of Newberry; Hon. B. F. Perry, of ?Crreenville; Col. W. C. Keith, of Walhalla; Col. F. W. McMaster, of Columbia; Hon. C. G. Memminger, Hon. Geo. A. Trenholm and Capt. F. W. Dawson, of Charleston; Dr. W. L. Love, of Franklin, N. C. Dr. Morrow, of Nashville,Tenn.; B.W.. Simpson, Esq., of Pendleton, and Maj. E. M. Rncker, of Elbert Co.. Ga. It is hoped that there will be a full attend? ance of citizens from every portion of | Anderson County, and that an enthusi? asm will be awakened in behalf of the Blue Ridge Railroad similar to that which acl^iated the people of this section in the early history of railroad enterpris? es in their midst. Agricultural Journals. The necessity and importance of far? mers supplying themselves with suitable reading in relation to agricultural pur? suits has been so frequently urged, that we do not deem it necessary to descant largely upon the theme at this time. But the season is now here when, selec? tions ought to be made for the coming year, and .a small investment now will amply repay them as the crops grow another season. We desire, in this con? nection, to designate two worthy and ex? cellent journals, which are entirely de? serving the patronage and support of the farming community. Both are widely known to the people of the South as practical and substantial workers in the cause of agriculture, and it is with pleas? ure that we urge their claims upon, the far? mers of this section. We refer to the Rural Carolinian, published in Charles? ton, by Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogs? well, at Two Dollars per annum, and to the Southern Cultivator, published at Athens, Ga., by W. L. Jones, at $2.10 postage paid. Every Grange ought to get up a large club for either or both these journals, thereby encouraging the progress of improved agriculture in its midst and stimulating its membership to fresh exertions in the noblest pursuits of J life. _' _ Governor Chamberlain in Charles? ton. Governor Chamberlain paid a visit to Charleston on the 4th inst., for the first time since his election as Governor of | South Carolina. He was serenaded on that evening by some five thousand per? sons, according to the ZVetcs and Courier, and responded in a speech at some length, in which he declared that he holds his office, as a public trust, and that the great demands of the people are a reduction of taxation and an honest expenditure of the public money. He claimed that the people of this State ought tobe, and could lie, relieved of one third of the present; taxes, and that he could point out item by item the manner in which the reduction could be made. He said that party which keeps in practice the great .principles of honesty and economy will, in the long run, prevail He urged greater harmony among all sections and parties of our State, and he declared that the hearts of Americans would be drawn in fraternal feeling towards each other as the centennial of our national birth ap? proaches, and concluded by urging the people of this State to participate in this celebration. His speech was loudly ap? plauded, and on the next day he was re? ceived by the Chamber of Commerce. The views to which the Governor gives expression are very good, and if he will' | make them deeds instead of words he shall most certainly have the hearty sup pet of all true Carolinians. But speech making, however good, will not help us very much, unless it is followed by stern, persistent and determined action. ? Texas will hold the final election of the current year on Tuesday, December 7. The democrats carried the State by 47,631 majority for Governor in 1873. ? Miss Ida Demorest, whom the Grand Duke Alexis considered the handsomest woman in the United States, has lately married a Phisycian in Nebraska. ? It is estimated that over 2,000 miners in Cape Breton will have to^epend on external aid for subsistence this winter owing to depression in the coal trade. ? The Washinetou newspapers an? nounce that Mr Wm. Henry Trescot, of South Carolina, has been admitted to practi'jo law in the District of Columbia. ? Mr. W? W. Corcoran, of Washington City, has given five hundred dollars to the Southern Historical Society, and {>romises a like contribution each year lereafter. ? Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, says the Democratic Congressmen from the SoutJi.wiU bo very conservative and will oppose all claims against the government on account of the war. ? Robert R. Hemphill, Esq., editor of the Abbeville Medium, has been elected an honorary membor of the Micah Jen kina Debating Society, King's Mountain, Military School, Yorl$ville, S, C. ?* j The St. Louis Railroad Convention. The National Railroad Convention which meets in St. Louis, Missouri, du? ring the latter part of this month is re? ceiving comments from our different exchanges, both favorable and condem? natory of its proposed action. It is called for the professed purpose of me? morializing Congress to lend aid in some available form, by actual appropriation Oi' by the endorsement of the company's bonds, for building a grand through freight and passenger line from the East to the West, passing through the South? ern States; but, in reality, the composi? tion of the convention will be such as to ensure the adoption of the Texas Pacific Road, which is controlled by the great Railroad King of Pennsylvania, Tom Scott, with a Pacific and Atlantic con? nection by way of St. Louis, which is professedly a Southern Road, but in re? ality only skirts along the Southern border, and, as has been remarked by some of our exchanges, will divert trade from the South to the advantage of cities along the border line and in the West. National aid has been so liberally exten? ded to Northern roads of late years that it is a conceded fact that if any further assistance is rendered to railroads by Congress, it shall be to Southern roads; ; artd, hence, one so well versed in the arts of diplomacy as Tom Scott, appreciates the necessity of apparently urging a Southern enterprise, and of having the attendance of such a number of Southern delegates as to confer upon this measure th i coloring of genuineness. Speaking of this meeting, the New York Daily Bulletin says: The proposition, as we understand it, does not ask for a direct issue of Govern ment bonds?as that would run counter an act of Congress expressly prohibiting an increase of the public debt?but calls for the government guaranty or endorse? ment of the Company bonds to an amount averaging $40,000 per mile for the 1,450 milesbetween Fort Worth and San Diego, and for 500 to 1,500 miles more for branches leading to Saint Louis, Cairo, Memphis, Vicksburg, New Orleans, Gal veston and Indianola. In other words/it seeks to commit the public to an annual interest liability, as endorser, for railroad construction purposes on something like $70,000,000 of paper obligations for a se? ries of years?probably until the roads are able to earn the amount, viz., $3,600, 00'.) per annum, in gold. It is true that, as drawn, the bill does not call for an ab? straction of this amount send-annually ou. of the Treasury, but the amount of bo ids per mile is made enough at the ou tset to permit a portion of them being withheld, and from the sales of the same, as the interest on the remainder accrues, it is to be paid. In plain language, it is designed to borrow under this public guarantee, while the road is building, suf? ficient, in addition to its cost, to pay the' the interest on its cost for a series of years, longer or shorter as the case may be. This bill is ingeniously drawn to avoid the numerous objections which will rise up all over the country to any policy of using public money for the futherance of private ends. That it does, nevertheless, tal i from the Government something of grtit value must be the fact, or such tremendous exertions would not be made to secure its adoption. There is, no doubt, a very general desire, especially in certain political quarters, to do something in the way of helping the struggling- in? dustries of the South on their feet again; and as the building of the Union Central lies'across the continent gave a consider? able stimulus to the railroad system ly? ing north of Ohio, it is supposed that a road along oue of the lower parallels of latitude would do much for the system of roads south of the Ohio. We allude to the existence of this feeliug not as a jus? tification of any designs on the public treasury, but as indicating one of the strengest reason why it finds so much support. Colonel Scott and his allies shrewdly seek to take advantage of this idea by presenting themselves as the proper recipients of this paternal mag? nanimity. It was -undoubtedly from a desire t? avoid all appearance of undue sectionalism that a munificent land grant was awarded to the 32d parreliel route as well as to the 35th and 49th parrellel routes-. Many of our Southern States, cities and towns are sending delegates to this convention, whose action will very prob? ably be adverse <o their interests. If any road is built by government aid, it should be one running through the Southern States near the Gulf, and not one running along the border line. The programme of government endorsement is a very adroit one but will not probably deceive the members of Congress, who are familiar with such dodges. The present Congress, however, is not in the remotest degree likely to engage in the railroad business after the hue and cry of the entire country against former legisla? tion in this respect. The Democratic House and the Republican Senate will naturally each fear to engage in the granting of any further subsidies, and even if one should vote it the other would reject in order to give an assur? ance to the country that it was the party of retrenchment and reform. There is, therefore, according to our views, no practical good to be derived by the South from the action of the proposed conven? tion, and no probability that its action will be adopted by Congress. It must, therefore, prove a failure, unless private subscriptions are resorted to, and that is no part of the programme at present. We have no objection to the building of any road, but we do not wish the South to commit itself to a scheme from which no advantage is to be derived. If we ask for government aid, let it be to a truly Southern road in its location and management. ? Col. D. O. Hawthorn, near Due West, bad his barn, corn crib, stables, and all his corn, fodder and supplies burnt re? cently. Supposed to be iDcendiary.? Loss: about $2,500. No insurance. ? We learn from the Spartanburg pa? pers that Mr. Elizabeth Allen died at her residence near Woodruff's on the 29th ult, in her eightieth year, the last of the old stock of the Woodruff family. ? The Fredericksburg (Va.) Herald recently announced that Gen. B. F. But? ler had purchased a gold mine in that vi? cinity. Late developments have attract? ed considerable attention to the mining reso irees of this section of the State. ? Dr. Edward Warren, sorgeon-in chiefof the Egyptian army, has resigned in censequence of opthalmia, contracted in the Khedive's service. Dr. Warron is a Bultimorean, and was medical director of North Carolina. Ho has located in Paris. ? The IJaptist State Convention of South Carolina will meet in Spartanburg on Wednesday 24th of November, and it is expoctod that more than two hundred delegates will be in attendance. The in? troductory sermon will bo delivered by Rev. Luther Broadus, of Edgeficld. ? The Mobile Register says: "Up to very recently 'Europe' was the word that sounded in the ears of all Northern per? sona of this country in bad health, but now 'the South' is rapidly taking its Idaco. Our section of the country is falr y beginning to attract that attention which it justly merits as a health resort, and so we know the batHo is more than khaif won," to the public sense of The November Elections. On Tuesday, 2nd inst, occurred a large number of elections, including county and municipal officers, members of the Legislature, &c., in some of the States, and in New York, Pennsylvania, Massa? chusetts, Maryland Minnesota, and Wis* consin there were Governors or other prominent officers to be chosen, which centred the main interest upon these States, all of which went Democratic at the last elections, except Minnesota? The result on the 2nd insti shows heavy Sins for the Republicans, especially in assnchusetts and New York. The first named State has returned to the Repub? lican party, and New York is only saved to the Democrats by a comparatively trifling majority. We give below a sum? mary of the result in the principal States: NEW YORK. Bigelow, Democrat, is elected Secretary of State by a majority of 16,798, with the prospect of a further increase. The en? tire State ticket is carried by the Demo? crats, but the majorities are greatly re? duced, from last year. The Albany Evening Journal concedes a majority of eight or ten thousand for the Democrats, and nays the Senate will stand twenty two republicans to eleven Democrats?a two-thirds majority. The Assembly stand? seventy-two Republicans and fifty six Democrats?a Republican majority of sixteen. The leading newspapers of New York City estimate the Democratic -majority from 2,500 to 10,000 in tie State. PENNSYLVANIA. The complete returns have riot yet been received, but the figures indicate a ma? jority of 15,000 for Hartrauft (Republi? can) for Governor, over Judge Perching, Democrat. The Democrats carried the election for Lieuteuant-Governor in 1874 by a majority of 4,679. MASSACHUSETTS. Alexander H. Rice (Republican) has a plurality for Governor amounting to nearly 6,(KX). Besides the Democratic candidate, Gov. Gasten, three other can? didates received a considerable vote, [which reached nearly 12,000. Charles Francis Adams received the vote of the Independents, Wendell Phillips the jLabor Reform, and Baker the Prohibi? tion vote. All of these candidates, ad? ded to the Democrats, give a majority of 5,904 against Mr. Rice. The Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican, with a majority on joint ballot of 149 members. Last year the Republican majority on joint ballot was 78. MARYLAND. John Lee Carroll (Democrat) is elected Governor, by a majority of 14,000, which is a reduction of 5,000 since the election in 1873. The Democratic majority on joint ballot in the Legislature is likewise reduced from 54 last year to 40 the pres? ent year. MINNESOTA. Pillsbury (Republican) has been elec? ted Governor by 10,000 majority, and the Republicans carry the entire Slate ticket. The legislative returns are m?agrc, and show Democratic gains, which will make the Legislature very close. WISCONSIN. The Democrats claim to have elected the entire State ticket, although it was first announced that the Republicans had a majority of 4,000. The latest informa? tion says the Republicans now concede the election of the Democratic State ticket, except the Governor, and a Dem? ocratic majority in the Legislature. The result seems doubtful, and it will require an official count to decide. The present Governor, Wm. B. Taylor, is the Demo? cratic candidate. MISSISSIPPI. The Democrats won a glorious victory in this State, sweeping every doubtful county, and routing the Republicans in every section. The election passed off quietly, and not a single disturbance is reported. The Democrats will have about twenty majority on joiut ballot in the Legislature, ana have elected five ont of nix Congressmen, including the fallant Lomar, who will lik be made Inited States Senator. A telegram re? ceived in Washington announces that United States Attorney Wells, the ad? ministration candidate for Congress, has been elected by a majority of 9,000. VIRGINIA. The returns from Virginia show that the General Assembly will not be gre atly changed from last year. There were any number of independent candidates sup? ported by a small body of disaffected conservatives and the solid vote of the negroes, and in some instances the inde? pendents were successful. Both parties are evidently in a state of disruption, and it its predicted that the race and color line ifl effectually broken in Virginia, which vrill force an entirely new deal in political parties before the Presidential election. * OTHER STATES. There were minor and local elections in other States, not .having any special significance, and we omit the partial re? turns already received. The returns given above have been carefully compiled from the most authen? tic sources, and may be relied upon as correct, so far as they state definite re? sults. ? It is reported that Gen. John Mor? gan, the celebrated Confederate partisan officer who invaded Ohio in 1803, has just died in Oregon, whither, as the story runs, ht escaped after he was wounded. It is a strange story but may possibly be true. ? Thei Atlanta Constitution's exploring expedition started for the Okeefewokee swamp from Horn er vi lie, Ga., on last Friday.

Arrangements are now in progress for a fast mail from Washington to New Orleans, passing through Danville, Char? lotte and. Atlanta, and saving seven and a half hours between Washington and Col? umbia, 8. C. Senator Patterson is urging the matter. ? Captain John Norrie, of Petersburg, Kentuck y, is said to be the only man now living who took part in the battle of Lake Erie. He is eighty-four years old, is in vigorous health, and has a gold medal which the Legislature of Kentucky gave him in 1860. ? Mr. B. N. Ward has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator T. C. Dunn, of Horry, the present Comptroller-General. The whole vote cast was 815,of which Mr. Ward re? ceived 671. Mr. Ward is a Conservative Democrat of high character. ? While New England manufacturers complain that they are making no mon? ey, Co .urnbus, Ga., is increasing in pros? perity and wealth, and is soon to have a bagging factory and a broom factory added by Northern capitalists to its al? ready numerous industries. ? Jchia Cummins, Esq., the inventor of the celebrated Southern Fire Kindler, which has been so successfully tested at the Fr ir of the American Institute in New York, was also associated with Dr. N. Pratt and Prof. Holmes in the discov? ery of the South Carolina phosphates, from the export of which that State an? nually realizes a revenue of $1,000,000. ? The Republicans in Washington City were quite Jubilant over the successes achieved in the recent elections, and on Saturday night a hundred guns were fired by them in honor of their victories. A procession was formed, and proceeded to the Executive Mansion where they sere? naded the President, who, from tho front of the portico, acknowledged the compli? ment a:i ilblows: "Gentlemen, I am very glad to meet you on this occasion and to congratulate you, on so good a cause for rejoicing to tho entire country, over tho result o f tho elections of last Tuesday. While the Republican majorities were not great, they wore yet sufficient to ac corapliiih the purpose. Tho poor Hag Baby has been entirety suppressed.; the people now know what kind of money they arts to have iu the futuro. and I think we nave an assurance that the Republi? cans will oontrol this government for at least four years longer." For the Anderson Intelligencer. ? Railroad Meeting. According to adjournment, the citizens of the town of Anderson met in the Court House on Friday evening last to hear the report of the committee on the proceedings of the joint-meeting held in Walhalla on the 2nd inst., contemplating the completion of the Bluo Ridjrc Railroad. Stsphen McCully Was called to the chair, and J. L. Tribble appointed secretary. A iler-remarks, by the chair, on the object of the meeting, the report of the committee was called for. E. B. Murray, Esq., chair? men, of the committee, then gave a report, which was listened to by all with much in? terest. Maj. W. W. Humphreys then offered a preamble and resolutions, supple? menting the same with practical remarks on the enterprise under consideration. On mo? tion of E. B. Murray, Esq., the preamble and resolutions were referred to a committee of five to make some alterations and amend? ments. Messrs. E. B. Murray, W. W. Hum phnrys, J. R. Coohran, J. N. Brown and B. M. Rucker being appointed on that commit? tee, then report?d the following preamble and resolutions: The citizens of the town of Anderson, after mature reflection on the subject of the proposed revival of the building the Blue Ridge Railroad, avail themselves of this opportunity to express their well settled conviction of the importance and great bene? fits the construction of said road must create for the whole State; in an especial degree do we commend the proposed enterprise to the favorable consideration of the people of Anderson County, idler a review of the facts, and much information which has reached us from the psople along the entire line, we believe Ihe prospects for completing this road are now better than at any time since the war; that there will be co-opera? tion on the whole route, and probably on the part of others whose interests are to be affected by the through line from Charleston to the north-west; and all that is necessary to insure success is to begin, at an early day, the work in business-like manner. There? fore, be it Resolvtd, That we request our Senator and and Representatives to secure the passage of a law that Anderson County be allowed to make subscriptions to this enterprise not to exceed $100,000, and the town of Anderson $25,000, to be given to furthering and insu? ring the complet ion of said road. Eesohed, That we further request our members of the ."Legislature to use their in? fluence to bring the proposed enterprise in some practical shape before those counties which are particular interested in this great through-route to the north-w;est. Oapt. James A. Hoyt moved the adoption of the report of the committee. After con? siderable discus; ion by Maj. Humphreys, Col. Brown, Col. Cocliran, Col. Rucker, E. B.Murray, Esq., Maj. Moore, Capt. Hoyt, Maj. Whiitner and others, the preamble and resolutions were adopted. Capt. Hoyt then offered the following reso? lutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That a mats :nee?ing in the in? terest of the Blue Ridge Railroad be held in this place on sahsday ia December next. Resolved, That a committee of five be ap? pointed to invite speakers from Walhalla, Abbeville, Newl>erry, Charleston and elso where, to tiddresii the citizens of Anderson County upon the day mentioned in the pre? ceding resolution. Resolved, That the preamble and resolu? tions looking to legislation to enable the town and County of Anderson to subscribe aid to the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad be submitted, to the moss meeting, to obtain an expression from the citizens of the County in reference to such legislation. The following gentlemen were appointed to invite speakers: J. A. Hoyt, P. K. Mc? Cully, W. W. Humphreys, W. S. Brown and W. J. Ligon. There being no further business the meet? ing was adjourned. STEPHEN McCULLY, Chairman. J. L. Tribble, Secretary. For ihe Anderson Intelligencer. Political Demagogues. The article on elections, published in Fri? day's issue of the Greenville News, induces the writer to make some comments, not on the article, but on political demagogues, who, he conceives, have been the means, in a great degree, of the recent Republican gains, and who, whether Radical or Demo? crat, will eventually work the ruin of our government, unless there is a re-astion on the mind of the American people North and South. It is a conceded fact that no government from the days of Nimrod, the mighty hunter of men, down to the republic of America, has ever existed without imperfec? tions. However powerful it may, at Borne period of its existence, seem to ha ve been, yet ruin and overthrow was tl e final doom of all, when the vital support of the people was withdrawn. Every form of government has had its palladium, around which clus? tered heroes and patriots, but whe:. callous indifference seizes upon its supporters, no longer it stands a beacon light of national pride and glory, but soon totters into an ob? livious nonentity. But the ruin of almost all governments has been the work, in most instances, of political demagogues. They are the vampires that suck up the vivifying or life-giving principles of the people, and are the begetters of a stupefying indifference, ruinous to any form of government. All national evils and sins are brought about by demagogues. It is by and through them forced measures and bad laws are lobbied through Legislatures, which engender a want of confidence in the government. It was so in democratized Greece, and the im? pregnable walls of republican Rome, that so long defied the thundering charges and on? slaughts of the ruthless hordes of barbarians, fell beneath the emptiness of her own name, when it was discovered that she was politi? cally dead?sucked to death by demagogues. The distinguished jurist and patriot saw the fatal whirlpool into which republican America was fast hastening. I refer to the lamented Mr. Justice Story. Who can re? call his prophetic words on demagogues and not feel a shudder for America. "In America," said he, "the demagogue may arise as well as elsewhere. He is the natu? ral, though spurious growth of republics; and, like the courtier, he may, by his bland? ishments, delude the cars and blind the eyes of the people to their own destruction. If ever the day shall arrive, in which the best talents and the best virtues shall be driven from office by intrigue or corruption, by ostracism of the press, or the still more un? relenting pers<!cution of party, legislation will tease to be national. It will be wise by accident and bad by system." Have wo:*ds ever been more truly spoken ? Have not much of the best talents and the best virtues of our people been ostracised and ^prescribed from office by intrigue and corruption? Else, why all the narrow minded legislation beneath which the coun? try has groaned, at least, during the last decade ? National legislation has ceased, and if there has been-any wise legislation pttcly it was wife purely by accident, and the policy and system bad in the extreme. Por example, take the Civil Rights Bill. Where is the wisdom in trying to force equality on man when there is no equality ? Time alone can obliterate the differences of races and make them equal; and then it will be in a restricted sense. Arc men so ignorant as not to know that this must be the work of time alone? They did know it, but the "negro jssuc" was one of political policy. Now no longer that avails the glut? tonous demagogue, but his trickery always rises equal to the emergency. The sharpers have already choked off of the bloody mouthed suckers to striko in another direc? tion. Now they whine and howl hard upon the heels of some chimerical issue, such as rag money, simply to divert the public mind from warring upon intrigue and corruption in high places. But do the. American peo? ple Intend to be thus deluded from the main issue at stake, and the one which must sooner or later seal the fate of this govern? ment, to listen to the howls of demagogues ? Will they sell out their country, constitu? tion, principle and everything so cheaply? No, they can not do it. They must make the issue?down with corruption. Etern? ally down let it drop from its zenith. Like Lucifer, let it fall never to rise again. Then once more unroll the American constitution inscribed with words o:f living fire?not "bought out," but esto pcrpelua, and once more America will be emancipated from her thraldom ; and, in 1876, let an independence be gained, which will be a grand centennial theme for 1076. MEL. t Editorial Notes. Judge Mackey appears to be in earnest about stopping the stealing of cotton from the fields in his circuit, and very sensibly directs his attention to the buyers who are parties to the fraud. He is reported to have said to the grand jury of Lancaster county: "notify the keepers of country stores in fke county of Lancaster, that if any person shall buy or receive at his store any cotton at night, whether from the lawful owner or otherwise, such person shall be indicted for a nuisance, and on conviction shall be sen? tenced to a term in the Penitentiary." This is very sweeping in its tcrms^but no doubt is fully in accord with the views of tho planters who live in those counties in which cotton stealing is so very common. We be? lieve Judge Cooke is of the opinion that buy? ing seed cotton after night, where there are any suspicious circumstances, will justify a conviction of receiving stolen goods, know? ing them to have been stolen. Neither of these constructions is likely to work any hardship upon persons carrying on a legiti? mate business, for a man doing business in [ a locality where -these thefts are frequent will not give the thcives an opportunity to to convert their stolen goods into money during the night time, unless he connives at their crime. We are glad to say that there is no complaint of this evil in our commu? nity. Our State exchanges of the past week bring to us intelligence of many incendiary fires and robberies in different sections of our State. The fall season seems to be the time selected by such characters for their villanous deeds. Vigorous efforts should be made to detect and bring them to justice. LOOK OUT. ALL persons indebted to A.
