THEJNTELLIGENCER. CISC UT GQTJMM. The Court of General Sessions and Com mon Pleas for Anderson County met on \ui Mon#ay, Judge J. P. Reed, of the First .Circuit presiding, in accordance with the request mods by the bar of thia place. On convening the Court, tba Petit Ju ries were organised with Maj. A, B. ?royle* ea foreman of Jury No. 1, and Ur. john M. Glenn as foreman of Jury No. 2. Tba Grand Jory Io, of coarse, the same as nerved during di? two former terrer of this year, with Mr. Kenon Breaxeale as fore man. In charging the Grand Jury, Judge Reed coiled attention to the oath which they had U?kcn, 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 auppesed the presiding Judge had already done HO, and he ahould tb pref ore confina his remarks for the most part to specdcl matters. Ile said you are tho grand inquest of tho Coun?y. with power to inquire Into the conduct of any of your citizens, and to brin?; to trial all who have violated the laws of thc land. You am thc conservators of the public peace, s vd In the discharge of your duties you arc not re strained to thc consideration of matters which may be presented by the Solidor, but may gp outside in bringing offenders to the notice of the Court. It la your province to call attention to public officials where they arc not properly discharging their duties. I would especially charge you to look into the actings and doings of Trial Justices :md Constables. These are very important offi ces, and wdicn properly used entitle those who exercise them to much credit and con sideration, but frequently they arc fomen tore of discord, and use their positions to oppress thc citizens of their County. If there ar.-, any auch cases repart them. The County Commissioners of your County have, co fur ns I can learn, been faithful mid prompt in the discharge of their duties. It han not been so in many other Counties, A. d is net so in the Circuit over which I nr?s?ile. Tliey have nm their County in debt, and hove given much trouble. I am glad it is not so here. But, gentlemen, there Is such a thing as being too rigid in thc expenditure of the public money. This | comes from a fstrong desire to be strictly right in the use of the peoples' motie;. The spirit is commendable, but should not bc carried too far. If there ia 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 ore correct, recommend their payment. You will also inquirs into thc Sheri;., Clerk and oilier offices of thc County. The Judge thci. charged *s to como indictmenta pre pared by the Solicitor, and told the Grand Jory that coan of assault and battery, where they were trivial, ahould not be en couraged, and unless some public good is j to be conacrved, as by tho punishment of a person guilty of a flagrant assault and bat tery, it ia better to discard them. The call of Calendar 6 was then proceed ed with, and a number of judgments ?riven in civil cases where there was no defense. The following cases have been tried, with thc result indicated : The 8tate va. James Busby J Arson. Not guilty. The Stats vs. Jordan Evett. Murder. Guilty of manslaughter. The State vs. John Singleton, atina Norria Pleiteas. Forgery. Guilty. The State vs. Henry Loftia. Assault and Battery, with intent to kill. Guilty of an assault. The State vs. James Movris. Arson. Guilty. The State vs. Adam Campbell. Grand Larceny. Not guilty. The 8tatc va. Adam Campbell. Rape. Guilty. The following bill* hr.ve been reported by the Grand Jury 5 The 8tate va. ?maries W. Smith. True bill for assault and battery with intent to kill, but not of sound mind. The State vs. James Miles. Asrault aad battery. True Bill. The State va. Morris Carter, Theadore Feaster and Solomon Perry. Grand Lar ceny. True bill. The 8ta?e vs. Martha Meeks. Infanticide. No bill. Thc 8tatc vs. Frank Smith. Grand lar ceny. True bil'.. Judge Reed has so fur presided with marked ability, Ci^'-.ity and courtesy, and Mr. M. F. Ansel, of Greenville, acting Sofie-, ilr.r pro tem., baa discharged the duties of his cfflce with foi rr. isa and credit to himself. The Court is still in session. THE PRIMARY KLECT?OH. Tlie election on last Thursday was a tri umphant vindication of the plan of nomi nating candidates by a direct Yote of the l?eople. Twenty-seven hundred and ninety - nine votes were cast, and every candidate nominated except the County Commission er* and Coroner received a majority of all tho votes cast. The election ia accepted as perfectly satisfactory to all the people of the ffounty. and the candidates who were not nominated arc now free and zealous in their support of the nominees. There ls not the slightest whisper of independent candidates, and there is no possibility of defeating a single ono of the County nominees. The election, so far as County matters are con cerned, is over, and the whole State ls only walting for tho 7th doy of November to do for South Carplh?s what has. virtually been done In Anderson County-that is, elect the Democratic ticket. We give below tho aggregate vote which ceah of the candidates for nomination re wived. Th~w receiving the highett num ber of votes are the nominees of the party : For legislature: Dr. W. C.

The great Barbecue announced to take pince bi Anderson on the 3rd day of No vember, bas been abolished. There will ba no meeting at the Court House on that day by the Democracy, and no other day baa been fixed for one. There will be no barbe cue st Town, and the Clubs in the County ueed not trouble any moro to arrange for it. Turn attention to the consolidated meetings. 00 ERECTION. A letter written by Senator Cochran to some colored men In the Broadawsy town ahip has been misrepresented by some one, and the statement made that it contained incendiary adrice. We have seen the letter in question, and do him the justice to say that there ia no auch advice given in lt. 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 thia statement not to defend Mr. Cochran, but simply to do him juotioe in this particular matter. THE ANDERSON OEAED JURY. ThU bod3* made its presentment on Wed nesday morning, setting forth that peace and order reign throughout the County; that the arm of thc law has never been set at defiance, and that both political parties hold their meetings without molestation. They report thc various County offl'xs to be in good condition, and recommend thc consolidation of thc offices of School Com 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 thu good name of Anderson uounty fn his proclamation declaring that disorder and riot ex lat throughout tho State, and the arm of the law ia powerless to enforce the de crees of the cjurts. They declare that so far ns this County is concerned, thc procla mation is without foundation in fact, and a libel upon our yeople, and concludes by asking that a copy of the presentment be forwarded to Oovernor Chamberlain that he may correct the wrong he boa done us, or stand before the world o 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 thnt aa the latter part was in a different handwriting from the first, bc supposed it had been pro cured by some very bitter person, and that he regretted its presentation. He said that thc 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. (Thc 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 his word.) He said he would not order the pre sentment to be served on the Governor, but supposed the papen 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 tho objectionable clause. The Judge told him he could do a? h? pleased, and then said these charges against high officers are bad policy. He stated that the. whole United States army was ordered down I here-he did not know what for. He told the jury that he saw menders of the bar shaking their heads, but he wanted them to act upon their own judgment. The fore man put thc vote, and not a single man rose from bia 8eat to vote to withdraw '.he pre sentment. There were eleven white men and six colored men on thc jury. The pre sentment could not have been made by the eleven white men alone, and when the vote waa 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 trooi-s. They were intcllit^nt and honest men, who said just what th<;y meant and knew to be true, without regard *o ihe judge's remarks. BRISE MENTION. livery citizen ahoii?tl endeavor to induce the colored men of dur 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 wo work dili gently. It is the party of corruption and infamy. We want to exchange it for a party of honesty and Integrity. Tho Central Executive Committee of thc Democratic party of Anderson County will meet at this place on Saturday morning, at 0 o'clock a. m. Every member of thc com mittee is requested to be present. Tho next regular meeting of tho County Union I. O. G. f. will be held with Orion Lodge, No 107, on Saturday 4th November next, at 10 o'clock a. m.- AU members of the Order are invited to attend, as the occa sion will be an Interesting one. At the last regalar meeting of thc Charles Pinckncy 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 tho monthly oration for December. Tho Anderson Town Club endorses the H on ca 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 ls not a riiinutj.ral na tir?rrirt vw?--vr-ita tm' Vtnt a Tt*mnl> llcnn, supjtortlng Hayes and Wheeler and Carpenter for Congress, and that he will supi>ort Hampton and the entire Demo cratic tickot for State officers. It will be published next week. The recommendatlcn of the State Execu tive Committee of the Democratic party that to-day be observed as a day of humiliation and prayer ls to be observed in Anderson. There will bc prayer meetings in each of tho churches of the town from 9 to 10 o'clock a. m., and tho whole of our community are respectfully requested to attend one of thc churches at that hour. Green D. Williams, Republican County Chairman, presented an article for publica tion this week which we reject ed on account of some offensive remarks In it, ahd told him ifhe would omit or alter the offensive, portion we would publish it. Ho declined to change it, and stated that If it was not published there would bc "bad times in An derson County." He could not Intimidate worth a cent, however, and thc article docs not appear. He is a pretty man for County Chalrmnn, when bc undertakes to say there will be "bad times" In K. whole county be cause he cannot publish an offensive com munication. .Efe* snits th? <party which "docs nov want principles but men " \ TUX RKFiJlLICASf MXBTIHO Alf ?ho were present on lr.it Friday at ' UM Bspsh?css "r=i!y" mast La?? IMII nm? ! vinccd that the Republicans of this County do not rally st the call of their party lcattyi "worth a cent." The day bas evidently passed when the crack of the party whip can melter the honert colored men of An derson Onnty at tho Court House to attend a Republican jw 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 bo in a "rally." The fact ls, tbs majority of tho colored people of our County have about come to the conclusion that the carpet-bag orators and scallawag canvassers are more interested in getting u> ?peak to them than they are ta hearing the speaking, and they are not so anxious to attend meet ings as they were when they thought their politicr' '\\ila dspended on the .mr.! nf the r . dean party. As will be seen from the correspondence elsewhere, the Republi cans refused to divide time, and tho D crata did not go near their meeting, which was held at the Greeley Institute, except ?bout fifty persons, who were present aa reporter? and conservators of the pence sent by the Democrats to preserve order for thc Ifapuhlimn?, A full estimate of the crowd would not exceed four hundred, of which number then: were fifty whit? Democrats and a number of coljred Democrat*, with about two hundred men and women from thc town of Anderson and inur.edlpte vicin ity, leaving at a large estimate abc at one hundred and fifty colored men from thc 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 3nJ Congressional District. J. N. Tolbert was the first speaker, and takes ii as an omen of the result off 7?lr No vember by seeing so many present.' Said hs was a native Republican. When*he cami out of the war with life in his body he l dc down his anns and took the oath Of sUegi ance in good faith. He had offered iq prayers on the battlefield to God to save hl? life. Thinks this a magnanimous govern mcnt, because bia property was not confis catcd. He said he came to talk for a gov eminent that protects the rights of ever] tn an ife yielded to sc ssa in his love fo South Carolina. Alluding to national poll tics, he said Grant said we bad to un loa? but he had'r t unloaded yet. Draws his in spiration from Hayes and Wheeler. D. H Chamberlain, his standard-bearer has mad the Republican government respectable ii the State. The Democrats so regard il, an fought each other over Chamberlain Chamberlain represents an idea that wil christianise this country. He intends t follow Chamberlain wherever he gees, an there he wanta to put up a school housoau a church. He has been doing well .vince, iii negroes got free. When he first ran fe office he got sir votes among the white Two years ago Le began his fight for rcforn He got beaten. Like such great reformers i Luther and others, h^could not succeed i once in this. Until the Hamburg ri< Chamberlain was all right with the Demi crate. He alluded to Chamberlain going t Washington to get help to protect the pei pie, and told them to keep their freedom I: following Chamberlain. He is going to fo low him himself until Chamberlain com* to thc jumping off place. Red shirts cs to his mind the Spanish bull fightsin whi( a red shirt was waved to infuriate the bu Alludes to Miss Campaign when the r shl.i was worn to scare the negroes. D not need ary argument to tell them ?wi they ought to be Republicana. You wc bom Republicans, and before you vote ai other ticket you will fill the graves of I publicans.. Thc above with a few remar on secession and "gone to Halifax,", whi by thc way bo had just I?arm^Ja,few ^chi ago was a curse word, made up tho pri nci j part of his harangue. ' T. F. Greener, colored, commenced saying he didn't know what more to s after tlio convincing speech of the gent mei? who preceded him. The reason be away from his books and the quiet walka life is because he feels for once the causj liberty in South Carolina is in peril.'"! Glenila os a Republican whose hands li never been dirtied by participation in frtu [Pure man was he.] .is one of the coloi Republicans he would denounce any 1 public.'j. or Democrat who was ?-?.one His reason for not wanting the iicMiocr elected is, ho does not wbh the Demoer to reform South Carolina, hut wants I Republicans to rcfo-.a her themselves, acknowledged that there is corruption the party, but claims that history pro that every war turns up adventurers, c that he has faith in all these adventure luis faith in tho black people, and clai that the colored man will rote for an hor man rather Aaa a dishonest one. He is i prised st the Democrats, and thinks tl make great blunder.;. Thanks, God he 1 n^gro. He sai-l If the Democrats rei didn't believe there "?rere honest men ir Republican party, then he didn't blt them for doing bil. they could to tirct tl owr ticket. If he is whipped ho will ct do . u like David Crocket's coon. He not always felt in accord to Cbamberla policy, but every time he tried to find fi with him the Democratic newspapers prc to him that Chamberlain was trying t< his duty. He claimed that Chamberlain, honestly tried to reform t..?* govern ni Here the speaker went into details Si Chamberlain's acts with the Legislatu what .**ery body had al.cady heard I an.'.. gain.
