THE SUMTEE WATCHMAN. The brief reference we made recently to an expression of the Sumter Watch man, in regard to Democratic organiza? tion in this State, seems to have aroused the ire of our dyspeptic contemporary, whose dogmatic assertions as to the in? tentions, purposes and views of the De? mocracy are not sustained by existing facts. It alleges that a straight-out nom? ination by the Democrats "would inevita? bly unite the Republicanism of the State, while it would either silence or draw to it that portion of the conservative ele? ment which would not and could not be ?made to follow the extreme views of the ?straight-out Democrats." This sentence, if it means anything, intends to convey the impression that a portion of the Democratic party will not be governed by a majority, and we presume that the Sumter Watchman proposes to have its own way in fixing the policy of the Democracy, or the party will lose its valuable services in the approaching contest. While we have argued strenu? ously and earnestly in favor of a definite policy, there has never been any inten? tion on our part to set up individual opinions against the controlling voice of the State Convention, and we defy the Sumter Watchman to point out a single clause to that effect. In common with all other professed Democrats, we have an undoubted right to the exercise of our own judgment and the unlimited expres? sion of our own opinions as to the proper policy, until duly constituted authority has shaped the plan of action. When that is done, all genuine Democrats will yield their individual preferences, and sustain the majority in whatever plans and policy may be determined upon. Spurious imitations may likewise find it convenient to be drawn into the mael? strom of corruption, which is fitly repre? sented by the decaying body of South Carolina RepubV* janism. The allusion of the Watchman to the "leading editor" of this paper is puerile and contemptible, and we can afford to ignore its spleen and silently endure its scathing (?) criticism. THE EARLE--BAILEY LIBEL SUIT. The suit of Wm. E. Earle for ten thou? sand dollars damages against J. C. and Edward Bailey for libel in publishing defamatory matter against the Plaintiff in the Enterprise and Mountaineer, of Greenville, has been progressing since the 29th of March last The evidence elicited by the defense was very damag? ing to the character of Captain Earle, and was given in by ex-Gov. Perry and thirty-five other citizens of Greenville, representing almost every profession and calling, and testifying as to general repu? tation and specific charges against, and acts of, the plaintiff. In rebuttal the plaintiff offered testimony of a large number of the citizens of Greenville who testified as to his good character, and either denied or explained the specific charges of the defense. It was thought that the evidence would close on yesterday, and the case go to the jury after argument. Messrs. Simpson, Coth ran, Moore and McGowan represent the plaintiff, and Messrs. Butter, Bonham and Symmes the defendants. The case has called forth the most intense interest in Greenville and throughout the whole State. Our sympathies are always with a newspaper when it is sued for libel, un? less its publications are shown to be wanton and unfounded. We have there? fore watched the testimony closely, and await the conclusion of the evidence and the verdict of the jury before we make further comment. EDITORIAL NOTES. President Grant has been quite unwell during the past week, and his condition at one time excited considerable alarm. At last accounts, he was slowly improv? ing, and was able to receive visitors. The State election in Connecticut oc? curred on Monday last. The weather was unfavorable, and it is thought a light vote was polled. The meagre details which have reached us indicate that In? gersoll (Democrat) has been re-elected Governor by a reduced majority. We print to-day another instalment of the sketches made by the Abbeville Me? dium, entitled "Pen Pictures of the Press," in which the life and character of Col. T. Stobo Farrow, editor of the Spartanburg Herald, and Second Vice President of the State Press Association, are admira? bly sketched. Articles of impeachment against W. W. Belknap, late Secretary of War, were adopted by the House of Representatives on Monday last, and the following gen? tlemen were chosen managers to conduct the impeachment trial: Messrs. Lofd, New York; McMahon, Ohio; Knott, Kentucky; Lynde, Wisconsin; Jenks, Pennsylvania?Democrats; Wheeler, N. York, and Hoar, Massachusetts?Repub? licans. By special request on their part, the members of Congress from the late Confederate States were excused from serving on the board of managers. Gov. Ames, of Mississippi, has resigned the office of Governor, upon an agreement that the articles of .impeachment against him were to be dismissed. All further proceedings in regard to Ames were promptly discontinued by the Legisla? ture. Lieut. Gov. Davis (colored) had been previously deprived of his office by impeachment for high crimes and mis? demeanors, and upon the resignation of Ames, the President pro tern, of the Sen? ate, Col. J. M. Stone, was immediately installed as Governor. This result was a complete surprise to the people, and the Republicans are represented as quite in? dignant. Mississippi is now absolutely free fronf carpct-bag government. ? On Friday night last, the24th instant, at 12 o'clock, the dwelling and out houses owned by Mr. Thos. R. Ayer, on his nlantation near Buford's Bridge, on the Barn well road, were entirely consumed bv fire. The dwelling was occupied by the families of Messrs. Aaron and L. B. Rentz, who lost nearly all their clothing and quite a good supply of groceries. It js not known how the fire originated, but it is supposed to have been acciden? tal Mr. Ayer's losses are estimated by himself at $1,200; others think much mff Gen. G. W. Hodges died at his resi? dence at Hodges' Depot on Friday night, March 24th, after a short illness. He was one of th<* oldest men in Abbeville County and one of the few remaining links, connecting this with the past een turv He was born in Abbeville County about the year 1792, and lived near the place of his birth for almost his entire lifetime. He was one of a family of twenty-one children. THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. BRIEF MENTION. Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, relict of the late Capt. Aaron Smith, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Craig, on Friday last, 31st ult., aged 84 years. The stockholders of the Anderson Educa? tional Association are invited to meet in the Court House on Friday, 14th inst., at eleven o'clock a. m., for the transaction of impor? tant business. We are gratified to note, among the re? cent improvements in Anderson, that Mr. Henry Garrison is re-painting his residence, at the corner of Church and Main streets, which will add much to its appearance. i . The Anderson Democratic Club will hold its regular meeting in the Masonic Hall on to-morrow (Friday) evening. The plan of primary elections will be discussed, and the Club will elect, delegates to the County Con? vention. R. C. Logan, Esq., general traveling agent of the Charleston News and Courier, honor? ed us with a visit on Monday last. He is securing a large number of accessions throughout the State to the subscription list of that enterprising and popular journal. Every well-wisher of the project to revive the Blue Ridge Railroad was delighted with the great success of the mass meeting on Thursday night. The speakers were admi? rably chosen, and fully met the expectations of the vast audience in style and matter. The Hunter's Spring Democratic Club of Centreville Township met on last Friday night, and agreed upon primary elections as the best plan to nominate candidates. Messrs. J. 0. Jones and K. Breazcalc were elected delegates to the County Convention. Capt. John W. Daniels has torn down the walls of the carriage shop, which was re? cently destroyed by fire, and removed the material to the lot opposite the jail, where he intends erecting a substantial building right away, which will be occupied by Messrs. Fant & Co. L. R. McAhoy, jr., agent of the Erie City Iron Works, was on a brief visit to Ander? son last week. He will return again in a short time, and will bring one of the cele? brated Morgan engines manufactured by the Erie Co., which he proposes to exhibit at a convenient season to our citizens. The Greenville News records the fact that the dwelling of Mr. Rogers, in Anderson County, eight miles from Greenville, was burned down last week, and his mother-in law, Mrs. Durham, was consumed in the flames. She was in feeble health, and was the only person in the house when the fire broke out. The delegates from across the mountains to the Railroad Convention were a fine looking and imposing set of men, besides being the cleverest fellows in the world. As to their stature among humanity, we will mention that four members of a com? mittee measured twenty-five feet! This is a positive fact. A telegram was received here on Friday, after the Railroad Convention had adjourn? ed, from Capt. S. Y. Tupper, President of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, stating in substance that the citizens of Charleston would give a cordial welcome to the delegates on the 25th of May. Old Charleston never fails in hospitality. The furniture business of our friend, Mr. G. F. Tolly, has been growing so constantly that he is compelled to enlarge his facilities for the display of goods, and workmen are now engaged in preparing another room in the basement story for the reception of fur? niture. There is nothing wonderful in the increased business of this popular estab? lishment, however, for the prices are ex? tremely low, competing with Columbia, Charleston and Augusta. The Martin Township Democratic Club met at Clinkscales' Mills on Saturday, 25th of March, Capt. James Adams presiding. Twenty-five new members were enrolled. The Club adopted the primary election plan, and elected the following delegates to the County Convention: James A. Drake, Rob? ert Parker, Reuben Clinksclaes, John D. Alewine, J. A. Cowan and L. B. Haynie. Thus Club holds its regular meetings on the fourth Saturday in every month. It is in a flourishing and prosperous condition. We had the pleasure of meeting General Stephen D. Lee in Anderson on last Tues? day. The people of this County are always glad to greet his genial presence in our midst, as it recalls to his many friends mem? ories of pleasing associations in the past. He was a native of Anderson, and her peo? ple are glad to claim so pure and gallant a son for our County. He is here for a few days in the interest of the Alabama Gold Life Insurauce Company, of which he is the general agent. DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. On Thursday morning last, a singular and distressing accident occurred at William? ston, by which a young lady's life was put in jeopardy under strange and almost unac? countable circumstances. The victim of this deplorable accident is Miss Emma Parker, of Columbia, the daughter of Dr. J. W. Parker, who was for so many years tho Superintendent of thoState Lunatic Asylum. It appears that Miss Parker was returning to the main portion of the town from the west side, and in crossing the bridge over the creek, she felt that the planks were very warm under her feet, but was not at all alarmed by the circumstance, until after she had passed the blacksmith shop of Mr. J. J. Acker, when that gentleman and others dis? covered that smoke was issuing from her clothing. By this time she had ascertained that her dress was on fire, and Mr. Acker ran to her assistance. He and others at? tempted to smother the flames by using their coats, which were thrown around her per? son, but the relief came too late to prevent the young lady from being severely burned. She was carried into the store of Maj. An? derson, and a physician was promptly sum? moned, when every effort was made to miti? gate her sufferings, which are represented as exceedingly great. Her injuries were deem? ed necessarily fatal for several days, but the latest information we have states that she is now improving, and hope is entertained for her final recovery. The most plausible theory as to the cause of this remarkable disaster is that Miss Parker must have carried the fire in her clothing for nearly a half mile. It is also suggested that she might have stepped upon a match while crossing the bridge, which ignited her cloth? ing just before the smoke was discovered. Another idea in regard to this singular acci? dent is that a spark from the blacksmith shop fell upon the trail of her dress. All is mere conjecture, however, and it cannot be definitely known as to the actual cause of this sad catastrophe. Miss Parker was a Btudent in the Kindergarten department of the Williamston Female Collego, and was preparing herself for a teacher in this branch of education. ? According to new law of Alabama, every commercial traveller doing busi? ness in the State must take out a $60 li? cense. ? S. W. Maurice, Esq., of Kingstree. recently organized a colored temperance society at that place, with over fifty members. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. Anderson Division, No. 1, Sons of Tem? perance, at the meeting held on Friday night last, elected the following officers to serve the ensuing quarter : W. W. Keys, W. P. A. 8. Todd, W. A. ' John M.

The excursion cars will he attached to the pas? senger train, and leaving Anderson at eight o'clock in the morning will reach William? ston at about ten o'clock. It will leave Wil liamston at twenty-five minutes after three o'clock and reach Anderson at five. Promi? nent speakers will be invited and a pleasant day is expected. QUARTERLY ELECTION. The following is a list of officers elected to serve the Charles Pinkney Literary Society for the ensuing quarter : W. W. Keys, President. A. S. Todd, Vice President. W. M. Wilcox, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. W. H. Frierson was elected to deliver the next monthly oration. F*r the Anderson Intelligencer. Shall the Democratic Part; Nominate its Candidates by a Convention or by Primary Elections t Whichever of these two plans is likelyto result in producing the greatest harmony and unity of action in the general election, by bringing out the strongest men as candi? dates, especially for the Legislature, should certainly be adopted. Let us analyze some? what in detail the practical operations of the two plans, so that wisdom will control the decision of this important question. And first, as to primary elections. On a certain day the Clubs throughout the Coun? ty will he required to hold primary elections at their respective precincts, to determine by ballot who shall be the nominees of the party. After the election, some one of the managers will be delegated to report the re? sult at Anderson, and after summing up the whole, the men who get the highest number of votes, will be declared the nominees of the party. There are two serious objections to this plan. 1st. There can be no concert of action, because by this election it is meant to get the preferences of the local clubs, which, from the nature of the case, especially with choice of candidates for the Legislature, will be almost as diverse as there are different Clubs to vote. Such be? ing the case, the nominees of the party must necessarily go before the people backed by a minority vote of their own party. If to remedy this evil it be proposed to require a majority of all the votes polled to secure a nomination, then it will necessitate more than one election to bring about .that con? cert of a tion so necessary to a successful result. Nor will previous nominations by - the subordinate Clubs obviate the difficulty; because if the people vote at all, they should he allowed the fullest exercise of their local preferences, in order to ascertain correctly the sense of the people. Another serious, almost fatal objection to the plan is, that it will be impracticable to procure from the various candidates their individual pledge to abide the nomination. Usually in nom? inating conventions, the candidates are very properly required to give their pledges to abide the nomination before their respective claims will be considered at all. And it ought always to be done There are other serious objections to the plan of primary elections, but the two already named are sufficient to "condemn it, unless they can be clearly obviated. The County Convention plan embodies the good points of both plans, with none of the evils of the first. The subordinate Clubs will be invited to indicate their preferences, either by primary elections or otherwise, and then they will appoint delegates to meet with other delegates in County Convention^ to compare notes and sum up the result. If none of the candidates come into the Convention endorsed by a majority of the Townships, (and no man should be declared the nominee of the party without a clear majority of the Townships,) then said dele? gates will proceed by ballot to select the standard bearers of the parry from the nom? inees before the Convention. Thus, by the County Convention plan the voice of the people will be clearlj' ascertained, and con? flicting opinions harmonized. It is no ob? jection to say that each individual citizen will not be allowed the decision of the ques? tion for himself, for by the terms of our or? ganization, and from the nature of the case, we cheerfully surrender our individual and local preferences for the common good. R. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Agricultural. Mr. Editok : I claim a space in your col? umns for this reason, that all newspapers arc in a sense as a grindstone is to the mechanic. What would the mechanic do without a grindstone to sharpen his tools on, when they become dull, or when they need sharpening? What would the American people do without literature ? They most assuredly would grow very dull. We have with us various grindstones?some political, some mechanical, some scientifical, and some agricultural, besides others. Yours seems to he one of general importance and use; therefore, I hope you wilL allow me to grind a little on the subject above. In illustrating and comparing agriculture with the various occupations of man, it is nothing but fair that it should be compared to the trunk of a monster tree of the forest, the various other occupations of man being the branches sprouting out of, and in part with that of the trunk. We see this very fully exemplified in the settling of a new country. The first man commencing occu? pation is the agriculturist; after the fanner has occupied the country for some time, then comes all the other occupations, but while it is true that the branches of a tree cannot live without being supported by the trunk, and nourished through it, 'tis equally true, that the trunk cannot live or grow without being aided and nourished by the leaves and branches, the leaves feeding in part on the atmosphere, leads us just here to say, they are the lungs of the plant, and literaturo be? ing the lungs of ngriculturc makes them of equal importance to the growth of a prosper? ous nation. Agriculture feeds all the other branches of industry, while all the other 'branches in return feed and aid agriculture. Now, just, here I have a word for my brother Grangers?it is this: what is the chief ob? ject of the Grange? 'Tis to improve and promote agriculture, the trunk of the mon? ster tree. Now, how will wc best do this ? I answer, to apply food to the rudiments of agriculture. This means to learn more of the science of farming, learn more of Chem? istry, as appled to farming, this, I believe, being lacking more than any other branch of study. Here I beg to say that thcEtiwan Guano Co. of our State did a great and good thing, when they presented their customers with a little linnd book called ''Agricultural Chemistry." 1 would farther say, I commend the recent workings of our Pendleton Grange. ,W?ap point at one meeting a subject to be discussed at the next; for instance, the subject for our meeting in April is that "of the preparation, cultivation and manuring of the corn crop." Now, some of our farmers may say a.lhtle pruning is necessary to inake the tree .bear frnit. I admit that it is true, but remember while yo? arc pruning by breaking down monopolies, be cautious how it is done, or injury may ensue, better apply more food or fertilizing material, and prune less. 'Tis better for us to talk less about monopolies, and talk more about science as applied to fanning. X. S. For the Andcnun Intelligencer. Anderson County Singing Convention. At the last annual meeting of the Ander? son County Singing Convention, held at New Lebanon, embracing the 24th, 25th and 2Gth of .September, 1875, a resolution was adopted to hold an extra, or semi-annual meeting of the Convention, May 13th and 14th, 1876,' at Ncal's Creek Church. The members of the Anderson County Musical Convention feel greatly encouraged by their efforts during the past seven years in elevating the standard of sacred vocal music by these meetings. The annual con? vention has been largely and interestingly attended at all its meetings?has met with a hearty reception and a generous hospitality from the citizens of the various localities of the County in which it has met. All who have attended these meeting speak reverent? ly of them. We think the Comity has been musically benefittcd by them. We further think that a great deal more might be ac accomplishcd through the instrumentality of Teachers, Leaders, Sunday School Supcr tendents and Ministers of.the Gospel uniting with us in so laudable and glorious cause. We therefore cordially invite all iu the County who feel interested and love good music to nrcet with us at the time and place above mentioned. . JAMES G. DOUTHIT, President Anderson Co. Singing Convention. GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY. ? The late frost and snow have done no material damage to the grain crops. ? The Griffin News calls the late eclipse "a centennial humbug." ? The recent eclipse of the sun did not seem to attract much attention. ? The recent snow storm was ten inches deep in the mountains. ? Fifty-nine State Conventions are to be held within two months. ? Liverpool is tho most densely popu? lated town in Great Britain. ? Rev. John G. Law has resigned the charge of the Walhalla Presbyterian Church. ?

The Grangers of the United States have over $18,000,000 invested in their various enterprises. ? The annual tobacco crop of tho United States is about 300,000,000 pounds, worth to the producers at least $40,000,000. ? All the employees cf. the Concord (N. H.) Railroacfhave beon compelled to sign the temperance pledge. ? Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe made $1,300 from her orange grovo hi. Florida last summer. ? Genr Fitzhugh Leo, a nephew of Gen. R. E. Lee, is a prominent candidate for Governor of Virginia. ? '!',-' ? The Dallas County (Ala.) Republi? can* Convention unanimously endorsed Harralson, the colored Congressman who voted for amnesty, for renomination. ? Congress costs the country at tho rate of $40,000 a day, and there is a prospect that the present session will extend through tho summer and late into the fall. ? Herschell V.- Johnson and Colonel Warren Aikon arc named for Governor of Georgia. The former has "been there," and knows how easy lies the head that wears a orown. ? The present situation of the Repub? lican party seems to' be accurately summed up in this terse sentence in the Cleveland Herald: "The party is now either to be reformed from within or smashed from without." ? The evidence in the Bel knap case is being prepared by District-Attorney Wells for presentation to the grand jury, and it is probablo that an indictment will be found against him by that body very soon. ? The United Statos Sonate has ordorcd an investigation in to the affairs of Mis? sissippi, to ascertain whether intimida? tion was practiced upon the colored, peo? ple in tho late election. ? Aiken County is a unit fora straight out Democratic ticket, both State and county, and a square, old-fashioned, Democratic rough and tumble in the next election. The last county election was only lost by sixty-five votes. ?

Tho law as it now exists authorizes the creation of no gro regiments at the option of the secre? tary of war. Tho committee propose to repeal this and wipo out the negro organ? izations by allowing the term of enlist? ment to expiro and prohibiting future en? listments. ? Congressman Lamar, of Mississippi, is reported seriously ill, aud is threatened with paralysis. He has gone to Now York to consult a physician, and will afterward go to his homo in Mississippi, to remain for the present. It is doubtful whether he will bo able to continue his labors as a member of tho House. His absence will bo a serious loss to tho Democratic sido of the House. He has been unwell all winter, aud, having once had a shock of paralysis, his physical condition is a critical one. OBITUARY. Departed this life Thursday, March 23rd, 1870, Mrs. FRANCES C. DEAN, wife of Major J .Dean, in the 42nd year of her age. Ihe deceased was born in Anderson Coun? ty, South Carolina, the 3rd of May, 1S33, united with the Baptist Church at Ander? son C. H. about the year 1850, and was mar? ried on the 23rd September, 1852, and lived in Anderson County until the Fall of 1850, when she removed with her husband to Dallas County, Texas, where they remained nntil the ensuing year, when they removed to Smith County, where they have ever since lived. Tt is useless to attempt to com? ment on the many virtues of the deceased in the space commonly allowed to an obitu? ary notice, and we must be content with stating that in her death the Church has lost one of its brightest ornaments, the contfnu ? nitv in which she lived a cherished friend and benefactor, her children a kind and in? dulgent mother, anil her husband a dutiful and affectionate wife. .She was ever a con? sistent Christian, practicing daily the re? ligion she professed, and during* her long and severe alflietion, she never murmured at her condition, but was perfectly resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father. None knew her but to love her, and it is believed that she died without nn enemy. .She was noted for her sweetness of temper and kind? ness of heart. Her ears were ever open to the cries of the needy. She has left a large circle of relatives and friends, both in South Carolina and Texas, to mourn her loss, but it is a great consolation for them to know that she had "set her house in order," and was perfectly willing to die. The disease which terminated her life had been preying upon her for more than two years, vet she boro it with all Christian fortitude and meek? ness, even appearing cheerful in her alllic Uons. What a consoling thought to her family and friends to know that her suffer? ings are over. A. W. R. HYMENEAL. MARRIED, by Rev. W. P. Martin, April 2nd, 187G, at the residence of the bride's father.

In the olden time, nature, prostrate with pain and suffering, was attacked with the lancet, calomel, blisters, starvation and thirst. All this was done with honest intentions but with terrible results. It is a pleasing fact that the enlightened public of the present day have discarded such medication. The disorders that sap the powers of life are now expelled by remedial agents, that brace up the vital strength, while running its cause. The qualities are found in an eminent de? gree in Dr. Tutt's Vegetable Liver Pills. They have become celebrated over a wide extent of the globe as the safest and gentlest remedial agait ever offered to suffering hu? manity, and it is not the result of newspa? per puffing, but by the great merit of the medicine itself. CUT THIS OUT, It May Save Your Life. There is no person living but what suffers more or less with Lung Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of med? icine that would cure them.

If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your Drug? gists, Wilhite <fe Williams, and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and try jt, or a regular size for 75 cents. ? Good Taste.

A.RISTSTEI]Sr & ROSE, NEW YORK CASH STORE. Anderson, S. C, March 30, 1876 _ THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD. NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PUKE WATER. Such is fur? nished by the DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., winch brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relics on its own merite, upon which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining Counties, together with the Counties of Hart and Elbert in Georgia, by jAlLOZLSTZO Xj. welch, Anderson C. H., S. C.
