GOV. CHAMBERLAIN'S SHIBBOLETH
The 'Glorious [Fourth lu Georgetown?
Speech of au Artful Demagogue.
At early dawn of Tuesday morning, we
were admonished by the ringing of bells
and other noisy demonstrations, that the
jubilee of America had come.
At 11 a. m., the usual unwashed crowd
that celebrates " Independence bay,"
assembled on Front street, and paraded
through the town^with innumeraole ban?
ners and hackneyed mottoes. A small
company of ragged militia aud several
fire companies were conspicuous in the
procession.
Extraordinary preparations had been
made to arouse enthusiasm, and collect
a crowd; but year after year the number
diminishes. Even the anticipated pres?
ence of Gov. Chamberlain, with the Cen?
tennial Brass Band and a big dinner,
failed to bring forth the full strength of
the "party."
Greenwich, in the suburbs of the town, I
was the spot selected for the exercises, 1
and thither we repaired, but too late to I
hear the declaration read. Gov. Cham-1
berlain was introduced by Senator W. H. I
Jones, and alluded briefly to the. separa-1
tion of the colonies from the mother I
' country. His attention was principally I
directed to party issues. He arraigned I
the Democratic party for its failure to
develop a true republican government in I
America; lauded the Republican party
as the only agency whereby the true I
spirit of the Constitution has been in-1
terpreted, the instrument itself vitalized, I
ana become a living reality.
He declaimed eloquently and continu- j
ously upon that familiar text of the Rad?
ical party, "all men were created free
and equal." He asserted with emphasis
that the framers of the constitution, in
that undistributed "all," included the j
negro as well as the Anglo Saxon race, j
This text had not, till within the last
sixteen years, been correctly interpreted, j
HeNcharged the nation, and the Demo- j
cratic party particularly, with having
acted a lie for the last eighty-four years, i
' Since the Republican party came into
power, in national affairs, sixteen years
ago, they alone had promulgated the'true j
meaning of the text, by abolishing slave- j
ry, arming the negro with the ballot, and J
placing them on an equality before the j
law with the balance of creation. The j
Governor emphasized the following as-1
sertion: Of the two alternatives, a free j
ballot or a good ballot, give me a free I
ballot always!" He argued at length j
the necessity of universal suffrage as the
only path to true political progress. It j
matters not how ignorant the voter, it
became a political necessity that he be j
armed with the means for his protection. I
In conclusion, he announced himself
as a candidate for re-election for Gover-1
nor of South Carolina, and plead with
his party the necessity of remaining a ]
unit in the coming election. Did he
consult his own feelings he would throw
off the burden of responsibility of office I
, that rested upon his shoulders, and re?
turn to the peaceful pursuits of a private
citizen; but the reform movement had ]
been inaugurated under his leadership,
and he would abate nothing of effort till
he raised the Republican party to a]
higher plane of purity and respect.
The Governor said many good things, j
and said them eloquently; some things
he said foolishly, that would not bear the
test of truth; but his audience, made up
of about one thousand negroes, was ig-1
norant, and it suited them.
Just a week ago, Gov. Chamberlain |
stood on the rostrum of one of our col-1
leges in South Carolina and delivered a
brilliant oration before two literary so?
cieties ; he was there by virtne of his
intellect and his matchless power of el?-1
cation, the cynosure of all eyes; to-day
he stands on the stump before, an igno?
rant, prejudiced multitude of negroes,
the impersonation of a graduated dema- j
gogue. -~v-^ - ^ I
verily, his versatility is without paral?
lel. Of his g enius, literary culture and
fine personal appearance, there can be
no doubt; we would be delighted to
know'that the inside of the platter were
equ ally as fair. The Governor challenged
his audience to find just fault with nis
administrative acts. We have no doubt
that he has done many good things in
the interest of good government; but we j
submit the question, why did he not play I
the role of reformer as attorney-general ?
He knew then, as well as he does now,
that the State had become the prey of
corrupt officials, and yet he opened not
his mouth. Had he acted as vigorously
while attorney-general as he does now,
the tide of corruption would have been
stayed.?Georgetown Time?.
THE GUBERNATORIAL QUESTION.
Gen. Bntler Declines and Nominates I
. Gen. Hampton for Governor.
Edgefteld, S. C, July 4th. I
Editors Journal of Commerce :
A correspondent of your paper wasl
kind enough a few days ago to suggest
my name as a candidate for Governor of
South Carolina, before the approaching
Democratic Convention. This partiality
of some friend may have no further sig-1
nificance than a personal- kindness, and
may not be of sufficient importance to
the public, to justify a formal declination
on my part; but as I have an ulterior
purpose in this communication, to wit.
the suggestion of another name, you will
permit me to say, that whilst it is gratify-1
ing to have one's name even remotely j
mentioned as a candidate for so dignified
and exalted a position, I cannot, under
any circumstances, consent to become a
candidate or accept a nomination for any
office in the gift of the people. I have
now the independence of thought, action I
and conduct which attaches to a private I
station, and I do not propose to surrender
it by aspiring to any political preferment,
and my dnty to the State does not require
me to do so, jrhilst there are many dis?
tinguished men who are equally or better
qualified to serve her than myself, and I
can better afford to make the necessary
sacrifices.
Experience has satisfied me that we
have but one course to pursue, so far as
the general State ticket is concerned, to
deserve and achieve success, and that is,
to nominate for Governor one of our
most prominent, patriotic and popular
countrymen, reinforced by our strongest
and best men on the general ticket. That
man, in my judgment, is General Wade j
Hampton, and the ticket suggested by
your 'correspondent, in connection with
my name, would be good enough for me.
I have not conferred with General
Hampton, and cannot say how far the
condition of his private affairs may con?
flict with the sacrifices necessary to be
made for a successful campaign, but I
am quite sure that if he should be assured
by his friends that his candidacy is essen?
tial to the welfare of the State, he will
now, as he has in the past, place himself
in the line of duty. Commendation of
him at my hands is scarcely to be expec?
ted, and certainly is not necessary, furth?
er than to say, that he can more com?
pletely than any other man reconcile
whatever discordant elements there may
be in the Democratic party of South
Carolina, and this is a sufficient reason
why he should be nominated.
Yours very respectfully,
M. C. BUTLER.

The Fall Elections.
In view of the Presidential election
in November, the State elections which
will precede it will be looked to with
interest. The following is the order of
these elections:
1. Kentucky, on the first Monday in
August. This election will be for mem?
bers of the Legislature and Circuit Judg?
es. The Democrats are making active
preparations for the election, but so far
the Republicans indicate a purpose to
allow the canvass to go by default.
2. North Carolina, on the first Thurs?
day in August. In this State the Demo?
crats have put a full ticket, in the field,
headed by Ex-Governor Z. B. Vaneo for
the Governorship. The republicans will
nominate a State ticket on the 12th inst.,
and it is supposed Judge Settle, a former
captain in the Confederate Army, will
head the ticket. In 1872 Caldwcll, the
Republican candidate, was elected Gov?
ernor by a majority of 1,899, while Grant's
majority for President the following No?
vember was 23,904. Now, the Demo?
crats are making an active canvass, and
claim Vance's election by 15,000 or 20,
000 majority.
3. California, on the first Wednesday
in September. This election is for mem?
bers of the General Assembly and mem?
bers of Congress. The parties are pretty
equally divided, each claiming the victo?
ry, and an exciting contest is predicted.
4. Vermont, on the first Tuesday in
September. This election is for State
officers and members of the General As?
sembly, and as the State is overwhelm?
ingly Republican, the only interest at?
taching to the election will be in noting
the relative loss and gain of the two par?
ties.
5. Maine, on the second Monday in
November. Here a State ticket will be
elected, and there seems to be no doubt
of the re-election of Gen. Seiden Con?
ner, Republican, the present Governor.
6. Georgia, on the second Tuesday in
October. Gen. A. H. Colquitt is likely
to head the Democratic lacket for the
Governorship, whose election is predicted
by 75,000 majority. As yet the Repubj
licans have not indicated a purpose ti
contest the field.
7. West Virginia, on the second Tues?
day in October. This election embraces
a State ticket, members of the Legisia
ture and members of Congress. The
Democrats are already in the field with a
State ticket, headed by Hon. A. M. Mat?
thews, present Attorney General, for the
Governorship. The Republicans will
nominate a State ticket during the latter
part of the present month. The Demo?
crats claim that all their dissensions are
healed, and that they will carry the State
by a large majority.
8. Ohio, second Tuesday in October.
In tliis State a State ticket, with the ex?
ception of Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, will be elected. The Repub?
licans claim that.they will carry the State
by an increased majority over Hayes' vote
in 1876.
9. Indiana, on the second Tuesday in
October. .Here a full State ticket will
be elected, the Democratic ticket being
headed by Hon. J. D. Williams, present
member of Congress, for''the Governor-'
ship, and the Republican ticket by Hod.
Godlove S. Orth, late Minister to Aus?
tria. Indiana promises to be the battle?
ground preparatory to the Presidential
onset in November, and both parties will
put forth their best efforts to secure the
ascendancy.
10. Iowa, on the second Tuesday in .
October. This is a Republican State,
and may be expected to cast its vote in
that direction both in October and No?
vember.
11. Nebraska, second Tuesday in Oc?
tober. This is also a Republican State.
12. Texas, on the first Monday in No?
vember. This State will probably go
Democratic by from 75,000 to 100,000
majority, but the election is too near the
time of holding the Presidential election
to effect it in any perceptible degree.' ?
Death of Santa Anna.
Our dispatches announce the death of
the, veteran General of Mexico, Antonio. .
Lopez de Santa Anna. He died in the ?
city of Mexico on the 28th ult. Thus
has closed a career as chequered as that
of the hero of a romance, and ended,
perhaps, the most eventful life on this
continent during the present century,
near the commencement of which his
military adventures began. His succes?
ses against the royalists gave him the
command of Vera Cruz in 1822, but he
was dismissed for insubordination and
revenged himself by aiding the overthrow
of the Emperor Iturbide. In 1828 he
overthrew the Pedraza administration
and became Minister of War and Com?
mander of the Mexican army. He was
elected President in 1833. Three years
after he took the field in person to sup?
press the insurrection in Texas.
He was routed by Sam Houston at
San Jacinto and taken prisoner. In 1837
he lost his leg at the bombardment of
Vera Cruz, by tho French. He was
thereafter President until deposed by a
revolution in 1845, when he took up his
residence in Cuba. In. the following
year he was again President, and at the
head of the Mexican-army he attacked
the American troops under Taylor, and
was repulsed, and .again atCerro Gardo
by Scott. He was in most of the impor
portant battles of the war to its close,
when he went to reside in Jamaica. He
returned to Mexico in 1853, and was
again appointed President. . Deposed by
the Alvarez revolution, he removed to
Cuba, and afterwards spent two years in
Venezuela. He returned to Mexico du?
ring the late French invasion, but was
banished by Gen. Bazaine in 1864. Max?
imilian, however, appointed him Grand
Marshal, but in less than a year he was
implicated in a conspiracy against the
Emperor, and withdrew to St. Thomas.
In 1867 he made his last attempt to gain
ascendancy in Mexico, but was taken
Srisoner at Vera Cruz and condemned to
eath. Juarez pardoned him on condi?
tion of his quitting Mexico, and he came
to the United States. But since the
death of Juarez he had been living qui-.
etly in seclusion in the City of Mexico,
up to the time of his death. It is said
he contemplated a journey overland to
the Philadelphia Centennial this sum?

Little Children.?People who ha?
bitually put children out of their hearts,
and close their doors upon them, have
no idea how much comfort they set aside,
what pleasure, what amusement. Of
course, the little creatures meddle with
things, and leave the traces of their fing?
ers on the wall, and cry and "bother" a
little; but, when one gets into the way
of it, as most mothers and other loving
relatives do, those things become of
minor importance. Children say such
pretty things, and do such funny things,
the touch of their little hands is so soft,
the sound of their little voices so sweet,
their faces are so pretty, their movements
so graceful and comical, the whole family
goes baby mad and it is no wonder. No
book was ever written that is half as in?
teresting as a little child that is learning
to talk and to think, that is developing
from a tiny animal into a being with a
conscience and a heart.
? July 4th, 1876, was a memorable day
in the history of the United States. It
was the one hundredth anniversary of
American Independence, and was cele?
brated with magnificent pomp and dis?
play in mj?"y portions of the Union, and
particularly *iu Philadelphia, where the
great Centcnuial Exhibition is in pro?
gress It was also noted as the fiftieth
anniversary of the death of John Ad?
ams, of Massachusetts, and Thomas Jef?
ferson, of Virginia, two ex-Presidente
of the United States and signers of the
Declaration of Independence. They
were political opponents, and died on the
same dav, just fifty; years after they had
signed tne Declaration of American In?
dependence together,
Raise a Crop of Tnrnlps.
v.-No agricultural country in the world
produces so few root crops ?s this. In
England, on" the land of good farmers,
turnips may always be regarded as the
leading crop. Turnips come into every
system of rotation, and form a part of
the regular food of animals. New vari?
eties of turnips are in greater demand
than new varieties of any other farm
crops. When the turnip crop fails there
is a general depression in the agricultural
districts throughout Great Britain.?
Turnips are to England of as great im?
portance as potatoes are to Ireland, as
corn is to the Northwestern States, or as
wheat is to the States on the Pacific
coast. English mutton is chiefly the
product of turaips;-;and the same is es?
sentially true of English beef. Turnips
also constitute a large proportion of the
food eaten by English laborers. In that
country turnips are looked to as a means
of preparing the soil for the production
of other crops. The turnip is analyzed
with a view of ascertaining what manures,
can be applied with the best advantage'
for increasing the crop.
There are various reasons why turnips
have never assumed the importance in
this country that they have in Great Bri?
tain. In the fir?t rlace, our climate is
uot as well suited k them. Turnips, to
do their best, require a moist and tolera?
bly cool climate, not subject to sudden
and extreme changes. England has a
climate of this kind, but ours is nearly
the reverse. We ordinarily have a pro?
tracted drought at about the time when
the crop requires a large amount of mois?
ture. Another reason why turnips are
not raised here to a larger extent is that
this is the best corn country in the world.
We can produce corn at a comparatively
small expense, and we use it for the food
of all the inferior animals as well as for
man. It takes the place of turnips in
the old country. Another reason why
turnips are not more largely raised is
that many fanners have never found out
their real vr?ue as. compared with other
food crops.
. But for all this, for all that, and for all
other things, turnips are entitled to vast?
ly more attention than they receive. The
great mistake in bur system of stock
feeding lies in having too small a variety
?of food. To keep up the. fertility of our
soil,-'we need to leave off perpetually
planting corn and small grain on it,,and
introduce occasionally a crop like tur?
nips, that will not exhaust the soil. An?
other good reason for planting turnips is
that ail the work on them may be done
at times when there is comparatively lit?
tle to do with leading crops. They are
planted ordinarily in July, worked in
August, and harvested quite late in the
tail. The amount of seed required for
an acre is only one pound, so that the
expense of seed; is trifling, With a seed
drill the work of planting is very small.
Almost the only hard work about raising
a crop consists in the process of trim?
ming.?Chicago Times.

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur?
nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which 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 bevond 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 relies on its own-merits, upon
which it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining

"The ANSON HARDY CUTTING MACHINES,
are the best and cheapest low priced machine made,
and have a national reputation for utility and du?
rability."?{The Electro-typer, Chicago.)
"Tbo ANSON HARDY PAPER CUTTER Is by
far the best machine which can be obtained for a
less price than one hundred dollars. It is of great
Btrength.
"These machines have always taken the highest
stand. It is the only machine to which is applied
the patent Movable Cutting Board. This device has
a reputation of itself; by it, the cutting board can
be instantly and accurately moved, so that a perfect
cut is insured. This Is a very important point in
this machine, and one that is possessed by no other.
It greatly reduces the labor of preparation in work?
ing the paper backward and forward. We cannot
too strongly recommend the advantages of this pat?
ent movable board. It is worth the price of this
machine, and purchasers should fully understand
how highly it la to be valued."?(RowelPs & Co.'a
Monthly Reporter and Printer's Gazette.)
The LATEST IMPROVED HARDY CARD
CUTTER is pronounced the kost desirable Cabi>
Ctjtteb in the market, for the general uses of a
printing office.
The well-known RUGGLES CARD CUTTER
with my latest improvements, 1? still preferred by
many printers, and holds its favoritism over other
machines.
US' None genuine but these having my full ad?
dress lettered in the castings.

first parties, should send for my circular proposal.
