Every Democrat is earnestly urged to do everything in his power to preserve the strictest decorum on the part of the Democracy of our County. Let no cir? cumstance occur to excite or harrass any of us into intimidation, resistance or strife. The candidates on the Republi? can State ticket are the canvassers to de? cide and declare the result of the elec? tion, and of course if they can obtain the slightest pretext to do so, they will count themselves in. Let us not assist in elec? ting them, by so acting as to afford any ground whatever to reject our vote, which if the race is a close one, may decide the result in the State. Our people have borne much in the way of misrepresen? tation, and even efforts to secure trouble have been made by the other side. They have not succeeded yet, and we confident? ly trust there will be no conflict. If there is any, it will originate with the Bepubli cans. We want a fair and quiet election. Purify tlie State by voting for Hampton, and thereby consigning to ignominy the carpet-baggers and scallaways who have robbed the State for eight years. ARRESTS TALKED OF. We have information that a certain party in Anderson has a list of names of persons who are to be arrested on hatched up charges of intimidation, &c. The parties whose arrest is contemplated have violated no law, and will cheerfully submit and give bail whenever desired, but we again take this occasion to warn the colored people of this County to go slow in making affidavits against our citi? zens, white or black, who have violated no law, for we assure them we intend to hold them to a rigid account before the courts, and if they are indiscreet enough to follow the advice of their villainous leaders in regard to this, they may count surely on a term in the State penitentiary. Whenever the arresting business begins in this County it will not be a one-sided affair, for we intend to prosecute every Republican* who is guilty of any crime, and some of the leaders who are trying to institute this infamous course of arrest? ing innocent men for political uses will be the first ones to taste the bitter fruits of their own game. We do not wish to be misunderstood. If any man, black or white, violates the law we do not wish to shield him, but desire that he be punished. The State laws are amply vindicated here, and no violence exists. Our people do not fear arrests in either State or Fed? eral Courts, but if they are to begin for political purposes, we Ipledge those who get them up(lthat our people will prose? cute them, not for political effect, but for the purpose of inflicting that punishment which justice will demand they shall re? ceive. _~j_ Pemember next Tuesday/ The State expects every man to do his duty. A WILFUL LIE. The Union-Herald, Governor Chamber? lain's organ, has for the last week or two been publishing extracts from the Demo? cratic papere of the State, which some months since praised the immaculate proclamator, and as it could find nothing in the Intelligencer committing us to him in any way, it credits the following to this paper: I believe that a stronger fight can be made next fall for good government in South Carolina than has been made since the war, and I believe it can be done by supporting Governor Chamber? lain in his efforts for reform.?Anderson Intelligencer, April, 1876. This was a communication to the In? telligencer, which we did not agree with, and which we severely attacked in the same issue that it appeared. The editor (whoever he is) who credited this article to us lied, and must have known that he was lying at the time he did it. Colored men who are honest will not support the men who are such consummate liars. They tell you these lies to deceive you, and if they wonld fool you about one thing, they will about another. There can be no confidence in such men, or the party they represent. GOOD NEWS! AN EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT OF AFFAIRS FOR ANDER? SON COUNTY. No Troops and a Quiet and Peaceful Election Ensured. ??o Special Telegram to tlie Anderson Intelligencer. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 1,1876. To the Citizens of Anderson County: By an agreement between the under? signed, troops have been prevented from going to Anderson and Belton, and fair and capable marshals agreed upon in every precinct in order to insure a peace? ful and quiet election, and an unbiased expression of opinion at the ballot box, without fear, violence or intimidation; and we urge all parties to sustain this agreement. We call upon all members of both political parties not to prevent any one from going to the polls, and voting for men of his choice, and we have pledged ourselves to use our in? fluence for a fair and free vote, believing that the people of Anderson will secure the political rights of all persons without military interference. (Signed) JAMES A. HOYT, JOHN R. COCHRAN, Commissioners of Election, Anderson Co. I concur in the foregoing arrangement, and agree to send Constables to every Precinct to preserve the peace. (Signed) WM. McGUKIN, Sheriff Anderson County. Harshals for Anderson County. The following is the list of Marshals for Anderson County: John R. Cochran, Chief Marshal. Anderson?Newton Scott, Jesse M.

Loug's Shop?John J. Findley. We agree upon the above list of Depu? ty U. S. Marshals for the various pre? cincts in Anderson County. JAMES A. HOYT, JOHN R. COCHRAN. To the Democrats of Anderson County: I appeal to you as honorable men. I have pledged for you that there shall be no intimidation or threats of any kind attempted by you or any of you to pre? vent or improperly influence any person from giving his vote freely as his judg? ment or wishes may dictate in the com? ing election. Democrats, give no defeated candidate an opportunity to contest the election, by reason of any person being prevented from freely voting for his choice or going to the polls. I call upon every citizen to report every case of fraud, violence or intimidation to Capt. James A. Hoyt or myself, immediately after the election. Peace and a fair election shall be in An? derson, without the aid of troops. I es? pecially call on the Marshals appointed to do their duty fully and fearlessly, and thereby preserve the good name of An? derson and Anderson Democracy. It is the duty of every citizen to go to the polls and vote. JOHN R. COCHRAN. MORE RADICAL INFAMY. The latest phase of Republican infamy is being developed in the plan which they are maturing to begin a day or two before the election, to arrest the influen? tial men and those who are active in this canvass all over the State. The charges will of course be false, but they think by keeping these men in prison until after the election they can carry the State, as they calculate upon such arrests intimi? dating the masses of our party. In this, however, they are mistaken, for every illegal and groundless arrest but makes our people firmer and more determined. When one leader is arrested there will be two more to take his place. Every man in South Carolina who is an honest patriot is a leader on our side, and any one of them will vote and work for Hampton on the day of election if every other Democrat in the State was arrested. We are simply determined to elect Hampton, and there is no use to try to prevent it by making unjustifiable arrests. They frighten no one, and only inspire those who are left at liberty to make greater exertions. Our people cannot be intimidated. They expect every infernal machination which can be devised by men who have neither character nor con? science, and nothing they can do will cause the column of reform to stop short of the glorious victory which is sure to reward our efforts on the 7th day of this month. To the Republicans we say, you do not dare attempt so villainous a course as making wholesale arrests on the eve of the election, now that your bold conspi? racy against the liberty of our people has been heralded to the world. You do not fear personal violence, because you know the Democrats do not desire to harm you, but you dread the day when retributive justice shall overtake you, and the discovery of your plans is every day bringing grim terror before your guilty consciences. We appeal to all honest colored men to leave the party which is so infamous as to seek to pollute justice by making the law, which is intended for all, serve the purpose of re-electing their corrupt can? didates. You cannot respect the men who desire to perpetrate these outrages. You cannot respect yourselves if you vote for them. Cast your votes for the Democratic ticket and secure reform. Aiken is a competent aiid an able man as well as a native of the State, while Car? penter is incompetent and a carpet-bagger. EDITORIAL NOTES. Be firm but prudent, is our advice to the Democrats. Do nothing which can be misconstrued into anything like in? timidation. We cannot afford to have the vote of Anderson County ignored. If Grant had been as prompt in send? ing soldiers to fight Sitting Bull last spring as he is in sending them to fight the imaginary insurrectionists in South Carolina, our nation would not to-day be mourning the death of the gallant Custer and his brave men. Next Tuesday will be the Waterloo of I Republicanism in the United States. Grant, Taft and Chamberlain have sealed the fate of poor Hayes, and in the effort to hold up the rotten fabric of Republi? canism in South Carolina they have de? molished the decayed structure in the Union. Judge Mackey eloquently arraigns Gov. Chamberlain before the people of this State for his flagrant treachery, criminal neglect of duty, and shameless disregard of truth and decency, and dubs him "the chief political conspirator of the present age." No decent man in this State can afford to vote for such a creature. Judge Mackey was serenaded one eve? ning last week in Lancaster, and respond? ed iu a ringing speech for Hampton and reform. He places Hampton's majority in South Carolina at fifteen thousand at the least estimate, Judge Mackey is a shrewd politician, and has shown much accuracy in his political estimates here? tofore. The indications are that he will be correct in this instance. Perseverance will accomplish it. Judge Cooke has declared his intention to have Chamberlain in the penitentiary within six months, but we are inclined to doubt the judge's ability to do so, because this Massachusetts governor is a capital fellow when it comes to running from danger, and if he happens to get cornered he knows just how to hide himself from sight, even if it is necessary to get under a bed to do it. Don't vote for him, col? ored men. He has never properly pro? tected your race, and never will do it. Every man in South Carolina should go. to the polls before the box is opened on Tuesday morning, and remain there during the day to work for Hampton, not only by voting, but also by getting others to vote for him, and to be present to challenge the vote of any incompetent person they may know. When the polls close, a committee of discreet and intel? ligent men should be appointed to re? main and see the counting done. Work ! Work! Work! is our motto, until the last vote is polled on next Tuesday. Victory will be the reward of such a course. The Democrats of South Carolina voted for Reuben Tomlinson for Govern? or four years ago, and he has since that time occupied a position of some respecta? bility, but his original pioclivities have at last got control of him again, and he is now stumping it for Chamberlain. As he has come to the rescu* of the plunder? ers of South Carolina he must'be classed with them. "Birds of a feather will flock ' together," and Tomlinson has shown the tribe to which he belongs by bis recent course, and thereby gives ad? ditional proof of the necessity for straight out action, for whenever we support a Republican we get neither thanks nor profit for doing so, and sooner or later he is sure to prove unworthy of trust or con? fidence. Poor Tomlinson now has not the friendship of Republicans nor the respect of Democrats. The election laws of this State are rather ambiguously worded, and some doubt has arisen from an examination of the statutes as to whether there is to be one general ticket bn which the names of candidates for Presidential Electors, Congress, State and County officers are to be placed. This question has been submitted by the State Democratic Exec? utive Committee to Attorney-General Stone, who has decided that there is to be one general ticket, on which will appear the names of persons voted for, together with an expression of opinion as to the Constitutional Amendment in relation to public schools, regulating the school tax and its distribution. This settles the question finally for the coming election. We hope every Democratic voter will see to it that the Constitutional Amendment gets a full vote in its favor. Let us strive to make our nation's entry upon the beginning of the second centennial of its birth as glorious in South Carolina as the natal morning of the Palmetto State one hundred years ago. The trying days which developed our Marions, Sumters and Moultries have gone into history as the grand birthday of our nation and of the true spirit of liberty. Let it be recorded on next Tues? day that these achievements have been wrested from impending destruction and re-established in perennial youth and , strength, and when they have traveled down the stream of human generations for another hundred years, dispensing the blessings of pure, just and benign government to all the citizens of our noble State, from the greatest to the poorest, the second centennary morn will ring out the paeans of rejoicing which will swell from every heart commcmora-_ tive of the double deliverance of a glori? ous commonwealth. The most extensive and imposing dis? play ever attempted by any political party in this country took place in New York on last Thursday night. It is esti? mated that fully sixty thousand persons were in the line of procession alone, be? sides, the hundreds and thousands who thronged the streets of the nation's metropolis. It was a grand outpouring of the Democracy in honor of Gov. Til den, the next President of the United States. Working men, regardless of local differences, were represented by their clubs. The demonstration com? menced at half-past seven o'clock in the evening, and at one o'clock on Friday morning Governor Tilden was still occu? pying his position in front of the Everett House reviewing the procession. There were hundreds of curious devices repre . seoting the traditions of the past and the country's hopes of the future. Such au oration from the people testifies the gratitude and esteem in which our can? didate for President is held by all classes of society where he is best known. Rev. Richard Fuller, D. D., one of the most emiuent and beloved ministers of the Baptist denomination in this country, ended his labors upon earth on Friday morning, 20th of October, in the 72nd year of his age. His death was not un? expected, as his health has been failing for a year or more. He was pastor of the Eotaw Place Baptist Church in Bal? timore, which church was built expressly for him. Dr. Fuller was a native of Beaufort, S. C, and while he was study? ing law at that place, he was converted under the preaching of the famous revi? valist, Rev. Daniel Baker, and afterwards consecrated his rare gifts exclusively to the work of the ministry. His intellect? ual powers and preaching abilities were regarded wonderful and extraordinary, and as a ripe scholar he had few equals. As a kind, humble, devoted Christian, Dr. Fuller was more widely beloved and respected than for any of his extraordi? nary gifts as a preacher, and his memory will be tenderly cherished in grateful hearts throughout this land. Dr. Fuller was ordained a minister in 1833, and set? tled at Baltimore in 1847. Free schools are the most sacred in? stitutions uuder the care of our State government, and the party which would squander its funds would steal the prop? erty or destroy the liberty of any citizen. The Republicans have squandered the school fund of this State repeatedly, and our free schools have only been run three months in the year. One-third of the amount due Anderson County for school purposes has been held back, and the poor childreu of the County have been deprived of the educational advantages which were due them. Our people paid their taxes, and yet when the money reached Columbia a portion of it stuck in the State Treasury and was never re? turned. Remember, colored men, when? ever you vote for Chamberlain and his ticket you vote to" keep your children in ignorance. It is a crime against the rising generation and against posterity for any man to vote the Republican State ticket in South Carolina. It is composed of adventurers, corruptionists and incom? petents. There is not a single good nom? ination upon the whole ticket. A man who votes this ticket is either politically ignorant or he is thoroughly dishonest. Governor Chamberlain, with all the bayonets of the Federal government at his back, with all his boldness and reck? less asseverations, with all his shameless disregard of truth, decency and honor, and with all his attempted intimidation of white and colored Democrats, is sure and certain to fail in his mighty efforts "to make and keep South Carolina as securely Republican as Vermont." His name will soon sink back into obscurity, but his recent efforts to throttle a free people will outlive, the deepest and black? est of the hideous strains upon the politi? cal annals of South Carolina, and his memory as a public man will go down to posterity as the incarnation of a reckless ambition, which would degrade his own race for selfish purposes and political ad? vantages. In striking contrast, we look upon our gallant and honored standard bearer, Wade Hampton, the honest patriot and sincere friend of humanity, who is actuated solely by a desire to de? liver his native State from the thraldom of thieves and merciless adventurers, and who will be proclaimed victorious by the peaceful ballots?mute and eloquent symbols of freedom?cast by the honest and undismayed voters, white and col? ored, who have resolved to redeem their homes and firesides from profligate and tyrannical rulers. Every vote cast for Hayes and Chamber? lain is a vote to deprive the citizen of his constitutional rights and to antagonize the races. _ THE LANCASTER GRAND JURY. We give below an extract from the pre? sentment of the Lancaster Grand Jury, and respectfully refer it to Judge Reed for his consideration and careful study. It seems that these Grand Juries in South Carolina are determined to expose Gov? ernor Chamberlaiu, despite proclama? tions, &c. The statements of this Grand Jury correspond with the allegations of the Anderson Grand Jury, and are as follows : The grand jury deem it proper to make reference to the charges made by the Gov? ernor of the State to the lawlessness, vio? lence and insubordination of the people of the State. These charges and the im? putations cast upon the citizens of South Carolina have done them great injustice, and reflect upon the character and good conduct of the people. We are now a spectacle to the world ; our State flooded with troops and the Governor of the State {?roclaiming his inability to execute the aws. The grand jury have made dili? gent inquiry concerning these charges and imputations, so far as the County of Lancaster is embraced in them. They have taken the sworn statements of the sheriff, clerk of the court and all of the peace officers of the county, except one of the trial justices, who was inaccessible (being out of the county) to the jury, and these officers all agree that there has not been the first instance of any resistance to the execution of lawful authority. The sheriff, together with all other ministerial officers, has been able to execute every process without the intervention of any posse. No insurrection or domestic vio? lence has occurred in the county; peace exists, and personal safety is secure. It is true that we are passing through a po? litical crisis warmly contested in the whole State, and our people are earnestly striving for better times, out at the same time they mean no insurrection, no re? sistance to lawful authority, and no do? mestic violence. Our courts are regular? ly convened, violations of law punished, and the whole machinery of the courts J and of judicial procedure is uninterrup? ted and unobstructed. The jury believe and arc satisfied that the proclamation of the Chief Magistrate of the State of South Carolina, dated 7th October, 1876, is un-. true in fact, so far as it applies to the County of Lancaster; that the tendency of its terms is to intimidate the voters of the .county; that it is tyrannical, in its spirit, ana oppressive to a liberty-loving people. We regard the candidacy of the present Governor of South Carolina for re-election a misfortune to the people; inasmuch as we can find no cause, other than his candidacy, for the issuing of said proclamation. We are informed and believe that arms belonging to the State have been distri? buted in some parts of this county contra? ry to the laws of the State, and are now in possession of persons not entitled to them. We present this matter as a stand? ing menace to the peace of the good peo? ple of Lancaster. John B. Erwin, Foreman. Do not fail to be at the polls when they are opened on Tuesday morning. GEN. R?GER ON* THE SITUATION. The following statements have been re? peatedly published, and up to this time no denial of their truth has been given in. It is a great outrage for the Secreta? ry of War to use his office for partisan political purposes, but that seems to be the order of the day just at this time. He has the example of the President to sustain him, as well as that of Chamber? lain. The positions of our Government have, under Grantism in the Nation, and Chamberlainism in the State, become the personal property of the persons who hold them, and are used to defeat the will of | the people. Gen. Rugeris the command? er of this department, and his reports should not be treated as they are said to have been in the subjoined article : Washington, October 26. It is charged here that the War De? partment has in its possession several re? ports from General Ruger, the com? manding officer of the Department of the South who is now in South Carolina, which set forth that there is no violence in the State, and that none is threatened, and that the use of so large a body of the army is not warranted by the condition of affairs in the State. It is also charged that these reports are deliberately sup? pressed upon the order of Mr. Cameron. ?Cincinnati Enquirer. Hampton's Day in Charleston. Charleston, S. C, Oct. 30. Hampton's reception to-day was a wonderful ovation. Over 10,000 voters, marching four abreast, were in the pro? cession, 2,000 of whom were mounted. The column presented a curious scene, all classes being strangely iutermingled; venerable lawyers, ill-clad workingmen, prominent merchants and colored long? shoremen taking their places in the line without the slightest discrimination. The route of the procession was hand? somely decorated with national flags and mottoes. Crowds of ladies waved band kerchiefs from every window. The whole city seemed to have turned out, and the continuous cheering with which Hampton was everywhere greeted was Shenoraina! for staid old Charleston, [ampton addressed an immense meeting in White Point Garden at noon, and to? night he spoke in the Academy of Music to the colored citizens, who have crowded the building to hear him. He is much encouraged by his welcome here, and confident of his triumph.?Special to the Register._ HYMENEAL. MARRIED, at the residence of the bride's mother, October, 25th, 1876, by Rev. W. L.
