THE INTELLIGENCER. ^?OCAL MATTERS. CLRCuTT COURT. The Court of General Sessions and Com? mon Pleas for Anderson County met on 'last Monday, Judge J. P. Reed, of the First -Circuit presiding, in accordance with the request made by the bar of this place. On convening the Court, the Petit Ju? ries were organized with Maj. A. R. Broyles as foreman of Jury No. 1, and Mr. John M. Glenn as foreman of Jury No. 2. The Gland Jury is, of course, the same as served during the two former terms of this year, with Mr. Ken on Breazeale as fore? man;: ?5n charging the Grand Jury, Judge Reed called attention to the oath which they bad taken,' and-said it was the most concise definition of their duties which could be given. "He did not propose to detain them with any extended remarks upon their general duties, as he supposed the presiding Judge bad already done so, and he should therefore -confine his remarks for the most .part to special matters. Hesaid you are the grand inquest of the County, with power to inquire into the conduct of any of your citizens, and to bring to trial all who have violated the laws of the land. Ton are the conservators of the public peace, and in the discharge of your duties you are not re? strained io the consideration of matters which may be presented by the Solid or, but may go outside in bringing offenders to the notice of the Court. It is yonr province to call attention to public officials where they are not properly discharging their duties. I would especially, charge you to look into the actings and doings of Trial Justices and Constables. ; These are very important offi? ces, and when properly used entitle those who exercise them to much credit and con? sideration, bat frequently they are fomen tors of discord, and use their positions to oppress the citizens of their County. If there are any such cases report them. The County Commissioners of your County have, so far as I can'learn, been faithful and prompt in the discharge of their duties. It has not been so in many other Counties, and is not so in the Circuit over which I preside. 'They have run their County in debt, and have given much trouble. I am glad it is not so here. But, gentlemen, there b Buch a thing as being too rigid in the expenditure of the public money. This comes from a "strong desire to be strictly right in the use of the peoples' mone; . The spirit is commendable, but should not be carried too far. If there is anything of this kind you will report it. Inquire into the matter of the inquest held over the bodies of the men killed in the Railroad disaster at Broadaway, and if the bills in it are correct, recommend their payment. You will also inquire into the Sheriff, Clerk and other offices of the County. The Judge ?then charged, as to some indictments pre? pared by the Solicitor, and told the Grand Jury that cases of assault and battery, where they were trivial, should not be en? couraged, and unless some public good is to be conserved, as by the punishment of a person guilty of a flagrant assault and bat? tery, it is better to discard them. The call of Calendar 6 .was then proceed? ed with, and a number of judgments given in civil cases where there was no defense. ? The following cases have been tried, with the result indicated: The State vs. James Busby. Arson. Not guilty. The State vs. Jordan Brett. Murder. Guilty of manslaughter. The State vs. John Singleton, alias Norris Pickens. Forgery. Guilty. The State vs. Henry Loftis. Assault and Battery, with intent to kill. Guilty of an assault. - The State vs. James Morris. Arson. Guilty. The State vs. Adam Campbell. Grand Larceny. ?Not guilty. The' State vs. Adam Campbell. Rape. Guilty. The foil owing, bills have been reported by thet2rand3ury ; The State vs. Charles W. Smith. True bill for assault and battery with intent to kill, but not of sound mind. The State vs. James Miles.: Assault and battery. True Bill. The State vs. Morris Carter, Tbeadore Feaster and Solomon Perry. Grand Lar? ceny. True bill. The State vs. Martha Meeks. Infanticide. NobilL The State vs. Frank Smith. Grand lar? ceny. True bill. Judge Reed has so far presided with marked ability, dignity and courtesy, and Mr. M. F. Ansel, of Greenville, acting Solic? itor pro tan., has discharged the duties of his office with fairness and credit to himself. The Court is still in session. TEE PRIMARY ELECTION. The election on last Thursday was a tri? umphant vindication of the plan of nomi? nating candidates by a direct vote of the people. Twenty-seven- hundred and ninety nine votes were cast, and every candidate nominated except the County Commission? ers and Coroner received a majority of all the votes cast. The election is accepted as perfectly satisfactory to all the people of the County, and the candidates who were not nominated are now free and zealous in their support of the nominees. There is not the slightest whisper of independent candidates, and there is no possibility of defeating a single one of the County nominees. The election, so far as County matters are con? cerned, is over, and the whole State is only waiting for the 7th day of November to do for South Carolina what has virtually been done i n Anderson County?that is, elect the Democratic ticket. We give below the aggregate vote which' ceah of the candidates for nomination re? ceived. Those receiving the highest num? ber of votes are the nominees of the party: For Legislature: Dr. W. C. Brown.2,608 R. W. Simpson..2,500 James L. Orr.........2,389 H. R. Vandiver..2,362 W. S. Pickens.1,117 For Probate Judge: W. W. Humphreys.2,529 M. B. Clinkscales. 220 For Clerk of Court: John W.

THE ANDERSON BARBECUE. The great Barbecue announced to take place in Anderson on the 3rd day of No? vember, has been abolished. There will be no meeting at the Court House on that day by the Democracy, and no other day has been fixed for one. There will be no barbe? cue at Town, and the Clubs in the County need not trouble any more to arrange for it. Turn attention to the consolidated meetings. O0RRECTI0N. A letter written by Senator Cochran to some colored men in the Broadaway town? ship has been misrepresented by some one, and the statement made that it contained incendiary advice. We have seen the letter in question, and do him the justice to say that there is no such advice given in it. With the exception of advising the colored people to vote the Republican ticket, there is nothing in the letter to which any one should object. We make this statement not to defend Mr. Cochran, but simply to do him justice in this particular matter. THE ANDERSON GRAND JURY. This body made its presentment on Wed? nesday morning, setting forth that peace and order reign throughout the County; that the arm of the law has never been set at defiance, and that both political parties hold their meetings without molestation. They report the various County offices to be in good condition, and recommend the consolidation of the offices of SchoorCom missioner and County Auditor, and the re? duction of the Treasurer's salary. The re? port concludes by presenting Gov. D. H. Chamberlain for using his high office to tra? duce the good name of Anderson County in his proclamation declaring that disorder and riot exist throughout the State, and the arm of the law is powerless to enforce the de? crees of the courts. They declare that so far as this County is concerned, the procla? mation is without foundation in fact, and a libel upon our people, and concludes by asking that a copy of the presentment be forwarded to Governor Chamberlain that he may correct the wrong he bos done us, or stand before the world a wilful and con? fessed slanderer of the people he is sworn to rule in justice. When the presentment was read, Judge Reed took the paper and remarked that as the latter part was in a different handwriting from the first, he supposed it had been pro? cured by some very bitter person, and that he regretted its presentation. He said that the Governor was entitled to some consider tion and respect, and that it was improper for the courts and juries to go outside of their regular duties to assail him, whether he was right or wrong. (The Judge a few days previous in charging them told them to present any official guilty of any miscon? duct, and the Grand Jury took him at bis word.) He said he would not order the pre? sentment to be served on the Governor, but supposed the panes would do it. (He is "mighty right." We will publish it next week.) He said he was following the prac? tice of the old judges, and wanted to keep the courts clear of politics. He ordered the presentment to be filed.; The foreman arose and said that the jury wished to do right, and he would submit the question of stri? king out the objectionable clause. The Judge told him be could do as he pleased, and tli en said these charges, against high officers are bad policy. He stated that the. whole United States army wc.3 ordered down here?he did not know what for. He told the jury that he saw members of the bar shaking their heads, but he wanted them to act upon their own judgment. The fore roan put the vote, and not a single man rose from bis seat to vote to withdraw the pre? sentment. There were eleven white men and six colored men on the jury. The pre? sentment could not have been made by the eleven white men alone, and when the vote I was taken in court the jury was unanimous. The members of this jury acted nobly in defending their presentment, despite the the judge's opposition, and his statements about troops. They were intelligent and honest men, who said just what they meant and knew to be true, without regard to the judge's remarks. BRIEF MENTION. Even* citizen should endeavor to induce the colored men of our County to attend the consolidated meetings next week. Up to the 14th inst. Col. George Roof had ginned 100 bales of cotton on his gin in the Fork township. This is a large business for one person. Republicanism will die in South Carolina on the 7th of next month, if we work dili? gently. It is the party of corruption and infamy. We want to exchange it for a party of honesty and integrity. The Central Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Anderson County will meet at this place on Saturday morning, at 9 o'clock a. m. Every member of the com? mittee is requested to be present. The next regular meeting of the County Union I. 0. G. f. will be held with Orion Lodge, No 107, on Saturday 4th November next, at 10 o'clock a. m. AH members of the Order are invited to attend, as the occa? sion will be an interesting one. At the last regular meeting of the Charles Pinckney Literary Society the following officers were elected: President, John M. Hubbard; Vice President, W. M. Wilcox; Secretary and Treasurer, E. C. Frierson. Mr. A. J. Watt was elected to deliver the monthly oration for December. The Anderson Town Club endorses the Honea Path Club's resolution to close busi? ness and devote Monday and Tuesday, the 6th and 7th of November, to working for the redemption of South Carolina, and every other club in the County should follow suit. Merchants, farmers, lawyers, mechanics and all should go to work. .... ;- ?*. Samuel Johnson, a member of the Re? construction Convention, handed us a card for publication announcing that he is not a Democrat, as some people say, but a Repub? lican, supporting Hayes and Wheeler and Carpenter for Congress, and that he will support Hampton and the entire Demo? cratic ticket for State officers. It will be published next week. The recommendation of the State Execu? tive Committee of the Democratic party that to-day be observed as a day of humiliation and prayer is to be observed in Anderson. There will be prayer meetings in each of the churches of the town from 9 to 10 o'clock a. m., and the whole of our community are respectfully requested to attend one of the churches at that hour. Green D. Williams, Republican County Chairman, presented an article for publica? tion this week which we rejected on account of some offensive remarks in it, and told him if he would omit or alter the offensive portion we would publish it. He declined to change it, and stated that if it was not published there would be "bad times in An? derson County." He could not intimidate worth a cent, however, and the article does not appear. He is a pretty man for County Chairman, when he undertakes to say there will be "bad times" in a whole county be? cause he cannot publish nn offensive com? munication. He suits the party which "docs not want principles but ruen." THE REPUBLICAN MEETING. All who were present on last Friday at the Republican "rally" must hare been con? vinced that the Republicans of this County do not rally at the call of their party leaders "worth a cent." The day has evidently passed when the crack of the party whip can muster the honest colored men of An? derson County at the Court House to attend a Republican pow wow. If they have noth? ing else to do some of them come, but they have no disposition to quit work to come here to be in a "rally." The fact is, the majority of the colored people of our County have about come to the conclusion that the carpet-bag orators and scallawag canvassers are more interested in getting to speak to them than they are in hearing the speaking, and they are not so anxious to attend meet? ings as they were when they thought their political rights depended on the success of the Republican party. As will be seen from the correspondence elsewhere, the Republi? cans refused to divide time, and the Demo? crats did not go near their meeting, which was held at the Greeley Institute, except about .fifty persons, who were present as reporters and conservators of the peace sent by the Democrats to preserve order for the Republicans. A full estimate of the crowd would not exceed four hundred, of which number there were fifty white Democrats and a number of colored Democrats, with about two hundred men and women from the town of Anderson and immediate vicin? ity, leaving at a large estimate about one hundred and fifty colored men from the country. G. D. Williams called the meeting to or? der, and said that the meeting was called in the interests of the Electors and L. Cass Car? penter, candidate for Congress from 3rd Congressional District. j. N. Tolbert was the first speaker, and takes it as an omen of the result of 7th No? vember by seeing so many present. Said he was a native Republican. When he came out of the war with life in his body he laid down his arms and took the oath of allegi? ance in good faith. He had offered up prayers on the battlefield to God to save his life. Thinks this a magnanimous govern? ment, because bis property was not confis? cated. He said he came to talk for a gov? ernment that protects the rights of every man. He yielded to no man in his love for South Carolina. Alluding to national poli? tics, he said Grant said we bad to unload but he had'nt unloaded yet. Draws his in? spiration from Hayes and Wheeler. D. H. Chamberlain, his standard-bearer has made the Republican government respectable in the State. The Democrats so regard it, and fought each other over Chamberlain. Chamberlain represents an idea that will christianize this country. He intends to ?follow Chamberlain wherever he goes, and there he wants to put up a school bouse and a church. He has been doing well since the negroes got free. When he first ran for office he got six votes among the whites. Two years ago he began bis fight for reform. He got beaten. Like sncb great reformers as Luther and others, h%could not succeed at once in this. Until the Hamburg riot Chamberlain was all right with the Demo? crats. He alluded to Chamberlain going to Washington to get help to protect the peo? ple, and told them to keep their freedom by following Chamberlain. He is going to fol? low him himself until Chamberlain comes to the jumping off place. Red shirts call to bis mind the Spanish bull fights in which a red shirt was waved to infuriate the'bull/ Alludes to Miss Campaign when the red shirt was worn to scare the negroes. Did , not need; any argument to tell them*why j they ought to be Republicans. You were bom Republicans, and before you vote any . other ticket you will fill the graves of Re- j publicans.. The above vyitb a few remarks I on secession and "gone'to. Halifax," which j by the way he had j us t learned, a.. few days ago was a curse word, made up the principal part of his harangue. . ..r-_ T. F. Green?r, colored, commenced by saying he didn't know what more to say after the convincing speech of the gentle? men who preceded him. The reason he-is away from his books' and the quiet walks of. life is because be feels for once the cause of) liberty in South Carolina is in peril. :::He stands as a Republican whose hands had never been dirtied by participation in fraud. . [Pure man was he.] As one of the colored Republicans he would denounce any Re- j publican or Democrat who was dishonest. His reason for not wanting the Democrats elected is, he does not wish the Democrats to reform South Carolina, but wants the Republicans to reform her themselves. He acknowledged that there is corruption in the party, but claims that history proves that every war turns up adventurers, and that he has faith in all these adventurers; has faith in the black people, and claims that the colored man will vote for an honest man rather than a dishonest one. He is sur? prised at the Democrats, and thinks they make great blunders., . Thanks. God he is a negro. He said if the Democrats really didn't believe there were honest men in the Republican party, then he didn't blame them for doing all .they could to elect their own ticket. If he is whipped he will come down like David Crocket's coon. He has not always felt in accord to Chamberlain's policy, but every time he tried to find fault with him the Democratic newspapers proved to him that Chamberlain was trying to do his duty. He churned that Chamberh?niiad honestly tried to reform the government. Here the speaker went into details about Chamberlain's acts with the Legislature? what every body had already heard time and again. In referring to the bank bills of the State, he claimed that two-thirds of these were owned by Democrats, who came to Columbia and begged a negro Legislature to make them receivable. Democrats have no right to say they are poor. They don't loqk: poor when they are hurrahing for Hampton. He had received only $83 since last May. He objects to the name of Democrat?con? servative is more in accordance with his sensitive ears. Thinks all the blacks who voted with the whites for Green will go back to Chamberlain. He believes the? pro? scription policy unjust, if the Democrats mean it, and unworthy of a great party. He had been in nearly all the joint discus? sions, and gave as his judgmerit of an argu? ment that ever}' Republican speaker whipped his man. He thought if the Rads, choose to follow the proscription policy they will starve the Democrats. He claimed that the Radicals put all the money of the State in Democratic banks. His speech abounded in misrepresentation and falsehood. He said that a Democratic Chief Justice had decided, that "the negro had no rights which a white man is bound to respect," and every intelli? gent person knows it is as false as the Re? publican professions of reform. These and other things of the same kind constituted the greater portion of the speech. ^ L. Cass Carpenter was the next speaker, ? and said he was glad to appear before the citizens, aud wanted to speak a few words in defence of the party, and wanted to do this without abusing anybody. He has a right to stand by Republicanism. He stood by the cradle when the Republican baby was rocked twenty years ago. Then denied of having ever mode any incendiary speeches. He said he may be guilty of all the others charged in the decalogue, but not of this. He claimed that it cost more for Tolbert and Cochran to be Rads, than for him. He did not care how the negroes vote, (Oh ! no, not the red-headed cuss,) and asks no man to vote as he votes. The Republi? can does not fbar a joint discussion, but he fears that when the .Republicans stand on the platform in joint discussion he may te applied with abuse instead of arguments; He claims that the National credit is better to-day than it has ever been. He said if its natural for a man to steal he will steal whether he is in office, or not He applaud? ed the administration ,of the government under Republican Ideas.' He claims that the Republicans have done more for the coun? try than any other party. He harped on the free expression of opinion, and claims that politics have nothing to do with the hard times.

Our instructions from tlie. State Executive Committee were to have'nb'jmnt discussion at any of the points where ap? pointments had been made: for us. Yours respectfully, L. CASS CARPENTER. This is;8> fair sample iof Republican truth and faith. The County Chairman squarely backed down from his positive promise to agree to joint discussions in the County, and evasively says he is willing to agree, to joint discussions in.our County .matters,'' As the Republicans have'rio County canvass this is equi vnl'eni to no joint distussion at all. But there is'a question of veracity between the County Chairman and Mr. Carpenter. - One says the.speakers and Executive Committee objects to joint discussion. The other says it is the Executive Committee alone. The truth is, we believe all of them fear to face the truth in joint discussions. ? ? While in gw^w^YQ^^h^ & *ir.
