THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. BBIEF MEHTION. To-day being thanksgiving day the sale of delinquent lands has been postponed until to-morrow. . The street hands have been doing good ?work on Calhoun and Main Sfreets within the laat few days. "We are requested to give notice that Rev. "W. H. Strickland is expected to preach in the Baptist Church at this place on next "Sabbath. The person who took our umbrella on Wednesday from this office is requested to return it at once. We suppose it was taken by mistake. Hall Township Democratic Club meets at the Carswell Institut? on next Saturday, at 2 o'clock p. m., to transact important busi? ness. Every member should try to be present. We are requested to announce that there will be a meeting of Broadaway Democratic Club on next Saturday week, the 9th of De? cember, at 2 o'clock p. m. All the members of the Club are requested to notice the time of meeting,'and be present punctually at the hoar named. We are requested by Mr. W. W. Russell, Worthy Master of Sandy Springs Grange, to state that there will be an election of offi >cers at the meeting on Saturday, the 2nd ?day of December, at 9 o'clock a.m. All the members of this Grange are requested to be present promptly. The most intense interest is manifested in the election results by the people of our County. The men who elected Hampton and the State ticket are loth to see the honor intended for him by the people of South Carolina bestowed by fraud or tyranny upon an ignoble adventurer. "We are requested to announce to the <Jatholics of the County that Father A. M. "Folchi will conduct the services of his church at the residence of Mr. M. D, Ken? nedy in this town on next Sabbath morning at 9 o'clock a. m. A full attendance of his congregation is desired. The remarks of Rev. J. P Smeltzer, D.D.. to the Young Mens' Christian Association on last Sabbath afternoon were excellent, both for the truths they expressed, and for the happy manner in which they were de? livered. All who were present enjoyed the occasion, both as a moral and literary treat. We have received the Gallary for Decem? ber, and find it stored with its-usual amount of very choice literature. Its reviews, biog? raphies, criticisms and continued stories are excellent, and originate from the ablest authors in their several departments. It is published by Messrs. Sheldon & Co., of New "York at four dollars a year. We have received the December number -of the "Phrenological Journal and Science ?of Health," published at. $3 per annum by 8. R. Watts <fe Co., of New York. It is a first class monthly journal, devoted to science, literature and general intelligence, especially to phrenology, health, education -and progressive measures, calculated to re? form, elevate and improve mankind. Our people-are quiet, but most deeply solitious over the public welfare. They are willing to obey the law, but cannot brook with easy grace the oppression and infamy that is being heaped upon them. We do not, however, intend to gratify the robber band by. an outbreak here, even under the forms of law. We look to the great De? mocracy of the nation for deliverance. DEATH OF EEY. GEOBGE SKITH. We give below a notice of the death of the gentleman whose name heads this arti? cle, which we copy from the Rushville Jack sonian, of Indiana. -In addition to the facts stated in the obituary notice, we may men? tion as matters of interest to our people that Mr. Smith married Miss Elizabeth Brown in 1817, a daughter of Mr. John Brown, who at that time lived upon the hill at Prevost's Mill. Previous to his removal to Indiana, he founded a chapel for the worship of God in this County, which is situated some seven miles southwest of Anderson, and bears the name of Smith Chapel, in honor to its founder, whose death we now announce. He left three brothers in this country, one of whom, Mr. Benjamin 8mith, resided in Abbeville County, and the other two, Messrs. Samuel and Robert Smith, resided in this County. Rev. George Smith left a large circle of relatives and connections, besides very many friends in this country, who will regret Iiis death, although he has lived beyond the allotted years of man. The JacJaonian says: The subject of this sketch was born in Ab? beville District, in the State of South Caro? lina, May 13,1794, and was married in the same State, July 15, 1816 He was one of the early settlers of Rush county, having moved to this State and comity in the year 1832, settling in Union township, where he resided until the year 1854; when he re? moved to Fayette county where he resided until the 25th day of October, 1876, at which time he was called from labor to rest at the ripe old age of 82 years, 5 months and 2 days. He was a local preacher of the Methodist church for 48 years prior to his death, al? ways taking a deep interest in all affairs of the church, especially in her missions and charities, all of which received substantial aid and support from his purse. His life was unostentatious, but his memory will long be cherished by all his old neighbors and more especially by the members of the church to which he belonged. He was buried in the church yard at Wiley Chapel, October 26th, 1876. Funeral services conducted by the Rev. Jesse Miller, of Glenwood. The deceased leaves a widow 80 years of age with whom he had lived happily for over 60 years. Ebenezer Smith of Uuion township, was his youngest brother. His widowed wife, his brother and family, and his large circle of friends, though they feel sad at parting with their long lived friend and companion, "mourn not as those without hope," believing that in crossing the Jordan of death he was translated from this imperfect to that all perfect celestial world beyond the skies. ? The Hayes emblem during the cam pagn was a pitchfork. It is now to be used for throwing out majorities. ?-Chandler is honest. He confidently believes that Hayes has carried the State of Louisiana by a handsome majority of five in the returning board. -r It is related that during a recent public welcome given to General Butler at Bangor, Maine, there was stretched across a street a flag bearing the motto: "Welcome to General Butler, the 'Hero of Five Forks,' and God knows how many spoons." ? Neither William Pitt Kellogg, nor his returning Board, nor Zach CHandler, nor Mr. Ferry of Michigan, nor the Sen? ate of the United States, nor any or all of them, can select a President or declare who shall be President, without the con? sent and concurrence of the people's direct spokesmen, the House of Repre? sentatives. ? As soon as the news reached Georgia that the New York Times believed A. H. Stephens, Congressman-elect, would prob? ably not be able to take his seat on account of ill health, the man of fragile frame and long sentences packed his satchel and started at once for Washing? ton, where he proposes to make himself heard to the extent of convincing the people that he will be on hand when the mb hdwSL FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY. We give below the accounts and com? ments of the Columbia Register and Union-Herald relative to the fatal shoot? ing affray in which Senator Cochran was engaged. Mr. Cochran was bailed in the sura of $4000 to appear for trial at the next term of Court in Columbia. We shall make no comment upon this unfor? tunate difficulty except to say that we re? gret its occurrence. Our readers can gain all the iL formation we have concern? ing it from the following articles taken from Columbia papers: THE REGISTER'S STATEMENTS. Mr. Thomas Dent, son of the Sheriff of this couuty, was shot and probably fatal? ly wounded at a late hour last night by John R. Cochran, the Senator from An ; derson. The two men were standing at the bar of Fine's saloon, when some dis? pute arose, which resulted in the lie be? ing passed. Mr. Dent struck Mr. Coch? ran in the face, and both men immedi? ately backed and drew their pistols. Some one snatched Mr. Dent's pistol away. Mr. Cochran fired three shots, one of which struck Mr. Dent in the arm and another in the abdomen. The last shot will almost certainly prove fatal. Mr. Cochran w?s arrested and taken to jail.?Thursday's Register. One of those unfortunate affairs, which have been so numerous all over America for years past, was the shouting at Fine's saloon, on Wednesday night. Two friends, who had been playing teu pin? for several hours together, leave the bowling alley, enter the bar, and go up to the counter with a view of tossing dice to decide who shall pay a bill, both stim? ulated with a drink:?one jubilant over his success at the pastime in the bowling alley below; the other, an excitable man at best, irritated by his defeat, becomes again defeated. A laugh at his expense follows, his irritation increases, and hard words are spoke". In astonishment the victor at the bowling alley assures the defeated man that he entertains no ill feeling against him, but words ensue, then olows, the interference of friends; the irritated man becomes more excited over the effort of friends to prevent the taking of life, but the hot blood is up, reason gone, pride, anger, revenge, all the worst passions aroused, the pistol is resorted to, and men who but a moment before had beeu friends, are arrayed against each other in deadly strife. In an instant, one in the full vigor of early manhood falls?a wounded, bleeding body?to the floor, but to be removed to his home to linger for a few days, and then pass away forever. It is the old story. Nobody to blame, or if there is, it is hard to say who it is, unless it be that enemy, that curse of mankind, John Barleycorn. There is no political significance in this unfortunate affair. Both men are Republicans?the one a State Senator, the other the Deputy Sheriff of the County of Richland. Senator Cochran is out upon bail, aud Mr. Dent is slowly sinking into his grave. Let us draw the curtain here, and regret it, as we all do. This is the most that can be said and done, and nothing more can be said to the advantage of anybody.?Friday's Register. Mr. Thomas Dent, who was mortally wounded in a difficulty on Thursday morning, died at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The coroner held an inquest over the remains yesterday, the verdict of the jury being that "the deceased came to his death by a pistol shot; said shot, the jurv have cause to believe, being fired by John R. Cochran." The funeral Will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon.? Saturday's Register. THE UNION-HEtiALD'8 STATEMENT. A difficulty occurred last night at Fine's bar room ic which the pistol was again brought into requisition, and which may end in the death of one of the par? ties. Senator John R. Cochran, of An? derson county, aad Mr. Thomas Dent, son of Sheriff" Dent, and himself a deputy sheriff, were amusing themselves during the later hours of the evening rolling ten pins in the alley of Mr. Fine's saloon. About midnight chey came to the bar, and for a parting drink threw dice as to who should pay for them. Mr. Dent threw sixteen, when Mr. Cochran good humoredly remarked that that was a good radical throw, to which Mr. Dent took exception on the ground that Cochran did not know him (Dent) sufficiently to characterize him as a Radical ,* that he was a good Republican but radical in nothing. A few words of similar import followed, when Mr. Dent struck the Sen? ator with his left hand in the face and drew his pistol with his right hand. To help disarm the parties, Mr. G. P. Kirk land, who was present, seized Mr. Dent's pistol and was endeavoring to wrest it from him when Mr. Cochran drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the abdomen of Mr. Dent, who retreated, or was borne back into the restaurant de? partment of the establishment, where he fell. He soon recovered, got upon his legs aud advanced towards the bar, in the direction where Mr. Cochran was. Seeing Mr. Dent advance, Mr. Cochran fired again, the ball striking Mr. Dent on the left arm. The parties were then finally separated. Senator Cochran was taken to the guard house by Officer Dick Jones. Our reporter called at the jail this morning and found Mr. Dent lying in bed, attended by Dr. Atkinson, the army surgeon at this post, who thinks it proba? ble that the wound in the abdomen may prove fatal. Senator Cochran was in custody in the office of the chief of police, where he was taking breakfast. He claims the shoot? ing to have been done in self-defense. The mayor, having no jurisdiction, turned the case over to a trial justice. As the parties were good friends up to the moment of hostilities, the affair is deeply regretted by the friends of each gentleman.?Nov. 23. Mr. Thomas Dent, who was shot in the abdomen at an early hour yesterday morning, at Fine's saloon, by Senator John Cochran. died at his residence in the Couuty jail, in this city, this morning at 6 o'clock. Mr. Dent suffered a great deal from his wound during the early hours of this morning, but was cool, calm and in the full possession of all his mental faculties until his spirit passed away. Shortly before his death he said to his father: "I am about to pass away, but I die with a clear conscience. I have no prejudice against Mr. Cochran or Mr. Kirkland. I leave them to the law, which I trust, will take its course." Mr. Dent was thirty years of age, a na? tive of this city and unmarried. While our reporter was in the small room, which contaiued the remains, Sheriff Dent made the following statement: "I wish you would say in your paper that I am shocked at the haste made in this case to release the accused, Mr. Cochran. I instructed the chief of police to make out an affidavit against Mr. Cochran, upon which Mr. Marshall would issue a warrant for his arrest, and ap? pointed 2 o'clock for a hearing. When going to my office in the court house, I met Judge Cooke coming out. I asked him if he had been holding court. He replied that he had been hearing the case of Mr. Cochran, charged with the shoot? ing my son, who had been Drought be? fore him on a writ of habeas corpus, and had released him on a $1,000 bond. The testimony of the attending surgeons had not been taken as to the condition of my son, who was then dying. The whole proceedings are unprecedented in my ex? perience, and everything connected with the case was kept from me." The old gentleman spoke without warmth or bitter feeling. The coroner's hrefneft w-ffl rate plate1 t'd-tlay*?iVW. 2* Messrs. Editors : It is well in a time of such unprece? dented political excitement as at present agitates the whole country, paralyzing the industrial, mercantile, and commer? cial interests of the whole country, recur to the past and learn lessons wisdom from the teachings of history In the Declaration of Independence our fathers solemnly declared "That all experience had shown, that man kind are more disposed to suffer, whi evils are sufferable, than to right them selves. * * * But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pu suing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them un der absolute despotism, it is their right it is their duty, to throw off such govern ment, and to provide new guards forthei future security." Tyrants in all ages have presumed much on the forbearance of the people, and this forbearance when it passes a certain poiut ceases to be virtue and becomes a high political crime. That Gen. Grant possesses the low in stincts, uncontrolled by virtue and judg ment and the arbitrary will which fit him !or the lawlesa assumptions of pow er, the utter disregard of the rights of individuals and States, and which cause him to regard the constitution as a by word, the history of his administration for the last four years amply proves The abuses of the power with which the constitution invests him, has made th government of the United States one of shame and contempt. He has surroun ded himself with rogues and thieves and the Belknaps, Babcocks and Shep hards are his special favorites. Virtue patriotism and statesmanship are un known to his administration. It is an administration of vice, corruption and the arbitrary will of one man regardless of the rights of States, the requirements of the constitution and the will of the people. He has for years maintained by the bayonet at the head of the govern? ments of some of the Southern States against the will of the people, bad and corrupt men because they were his po? litical tools, and as such could be used by him to accomplish his unlawful and tyrannical purposes. He has encouraged crime and roguery in the administration of the government, by shielding men high in authority by his own appoint? ment from the demands of justice, and sustaining in power such men as Cham? berlain, who, without his assistance, would find their residence in the peni? tentiary. He has arbitrarily subverted State governments, making Governors against the express will of the people, and sustaining them in power with Federal bayonets. He assumed control of a legislative body by sending troops to take possession of the legislative hall and forcibly ejectiug the representatives of the people to give place to his own vile and petty tools ; and to-day he has lawless possession of the Capitol of South Carolina, and by making his troops, in contravention of the laws and constitution of the State, judges of the election of the members of the Gen? eral Assembly, has subverted justice, overthrown the constitution, set aside the will of the people, usurped their power, and tyrannically established a government of his own. Chamberlain is not a Governor chosen by the people of South Carolina, for they have rejected him, but one appointed by Grant and surrounded and upheld by Federal bayonets. The so-called Repub? lican Legislature which assembled in Columbia on iast Tuesday, is not com posed of representations of the people, but of-individuals declared by Grant's troops to be entitled to seats. Gen. Grant has not only thus sot at defiance the laws of the land, but he now designs to make the next President of the United States. By the bayonets Grant made a Governor of Louisiana, now seeks to make a Governor of South Carolina, and by bis troops sent into three States and concentrated in Washington City, mani? fests his determination to make th* next President in despite of the will of the people at the ballot box. Are these evils longer sufferable? Do these long trains of abuses and usurpation show a design to subvert constitutional liberty and es? tablish a despotism ? The people of the United States must determine, and upon this determination depends the future of our Government. M. HYMENEAL. MARRIED, at the residence of S. M.
