THE INETLLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. ?BRIEF MENTION. Dr. 3. S. Marshall, of Greenville, was in town last Thursday?the unfortunate acci? dent to his sister, Mrs. Orr, demanding his presence here at that time. Willis Redmond, colored, sent us a fine turnip the other day?one of the largest we have seen this season. It measured twenty four inches in circumference. The full text of Judge Cooke's charge to the grand jury appears in this issue. It was listened to with great interest and satisfac? tion by a large audience. The removal of troops from Columbia in? dicates that the outside pressure against the State is not so formidable as once existed. Chamberlain is a myth as Governor without troops. The Young Men's Christian Association will holds its .regular business meeting on next Wednesday evening in Temperance Hall. The members are requested to be punctual in attendance. Governor Hampton has made a wholesale removal of County Treasurers and County Auditors in the State, including B. D. Dean, Esq., the Treasurer, and Thomas J. Webb, the Auditor of Anderson County. Wc would direct attention to the adver? tisement of Mr. Samuel Murphy, who is opening, a new marble yaid in this place. He is jnst starting in business on his own hook and deserves encouragement. Up to the time of going to press, there has been issued by the Special Agent twelve hundred and fifty-nine receipts, aggregating the sum of $3409.95. About one hundred of the receipts were issued to colored men. The ladies of the Baptist Sewing Society propose giving an oyster supper at Masonic Hall on the evening of February 14th?next Wednesday. A post office will be opened, through which the young folks can send their valentines. Col. George F. Townes, of Greenville, was in Anderson on last Thursday. Heia a genial and accomplished gentleman, and naturally gravitates towards newspaper offi? ces, in which much of his time and labor have been spent. Col. R. A. Thompson, of Walhalla, was in our town last Thursday on legal busi? ness. He represents Walhalla as generally dull and financially duller, but expecting better things when Hampton and Home Rule are fully secured. Mr. Wm. S. Fraser, the courteous and gentlemanly agent of the Charleston Journal of Commerce, was in Anderson this week. He is a live, energetic man, and is meeting with great success in procuring subscribers for a capital newspaper. ' The Anderson Cornet Band gave a de? lightful serenade on Tuesday evening, and the crowd accompanying them called upon Judge Cooke, Solicitor Cothran, Gen. Mc Gowan, Col. Zimmerman Davis, of Charles? ton, and Capt. James A Hey t, who respon? ded in short speeches on the situation. ' A prominent citizen of this vicinity, who is*, quite mindful of his recent experience, refuses now to let us know his point of des? tination when he goes away from home. He went to Seneca City last week, and we have engaged a special reporter to give us the facts connected with his visit to that thriving town. The Special Agent for the collection of the ten per cent, contribution gives notice else? where that he will be at Bel ton, William? ston and Honea Path the latter part of next week. Other appointments will be an? nounced in our next issue. He will remain at Anderson until Wednesday evening, 14th inst. The Governor has made the following ap? pointments of Trial Justices in this County: R> N. Wright, Esq., for Honea Path and Martin Townships; W. H. D. Gaillard, Esq., for Pendleton and Garvin Townships; W. F. M. Fant, Esq., for the Fork Town? ship: These are excellent appointments, and will meet with general approval in their respective localities. .Col. Zimmerman Davis, representing D. H: Jones & Co., who are the State agents for Whann's Bahama Soluble Guano, has been in our town this week. He appointed Messrs. Provost & Cunningham as the agents at this place, and their advertisement will appear next week, Col. Davis is mak? ing a thorough canvass of the up-country, and is meeting with hosts of friends in every section. The following officers have been elected and installed to serve Mio Mills Grange, No. 294, the present year: B. F. Price, W. M.; J. R. Ashley, 0.; J. B. Hampton, L.; Jon? athan Adams, S.; J. A. Wiles, A. S.; H. P. Price, Chap.; J. 0. McKee, Treas.; 8. J. McKee, S.; J. W. McKee, G. K.; Miss M. J. Leverette, C.; Miss R. H. McKee, P.; Mrs. J. W. McKee, F.; Mrs. Johnson Hall, L. A. S. The Charleston Journal of Commerce, in speaking of Bill Parkers speech at the Greeley Institute, says: "This man in a true disciple of his brother Whittemore, the ex cadetship peddler, and if the people of An? derson understand their best interests thty will not wait for the passage of the St. Domingo annexation bill, but will at once subscribe the money, and send this preacher and his followers to the island which they pretend to covet." We Tegret to announce the death of John Caminade, which occurred on the 26th of January, after a protracted illness. He was a native of Savannah, belonged to a French family which refugeed to San Domingo about seventy years ago, and afterwards came to this country. The family removed to Charleston when he was quite young, and about forty years ago Mr. Caminade came to Pendleton, where he has since re? sided, possessing the esteem and confidence of his neighbors. He leaves five daughters, all married except one. He was about 68 years of age. E. P. Earle, Esq., has sold his interest in the Anderson Journal to his former partner, Mr. A. S. Todd, who will continue its pub? lication as heretofore. Mr. Earle retires from the field of journalism on account of pecuniaiy interests requiring his removal from the town of Anderson. Our inter? course with him has always been pleasant and agreeable, and we tender him a kindly salutation at parting Mr. Todd enters upon the duties and responsibilities of his posi? tion with modest pretensions, and has our cordial welcome into the fullest honors of the fraternity. He is a young man of sterl? ing qualities and deserves success. Scarcity of Money. There is no doubt but the present condi? tion of all kinds of business and industry is fearfully depressed, and it behooves every family to look carefully to their expenses. Winter is coming on when children are liable to Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will prevail everywhere, and Consumption, with other throat and lung diseases, will cany off many. These diseases should not be neglected. Doctor's bills are expensive, and we would advise our feople to use Boschee's German Syrup. t never bus failed. One bottle at 75 cents will keep your whole family well during the winter. * Two doses will relieve any case. Sold In all towns in the "United ?tates, and by vour-Druggist,-Wilhite & Williame. THE SAH DOMINGO (!) RESOLUTIONS. The following preamble and resolntions were adopted by the San Domingo (?) meet? ing, held at the Greeley Institute, and whose proceedings were faithfully sketched in our last issue. This document was furnished to the Columbia Union-Herald, and the re? marks accompanying it state that, in addi? tion, appropriate resolutions were adopted, expressing loyalty to the government of D. H. Chamberlain as the only legal govern? ment in the State, resolving to pay taxes to him and none other, and agreeing to obey only his officers. This is a grim and feeble joke on the part of the Chaniberlainitef;, as they are not likely to have an opportunity of paying taxes to the usurping government, and there are no officers worth speaking of in Anderson County who favor his benig? nant rule. Besides, the Chamberlain tax? payers are not overflowing with money or credit, if we believe their own stories about the pitiless condition of the colored popula? tion in Anderson County. Seriously, the statements contained in the preamble are utterly without foundation, so far as we can ascertain, as to laborers living in the woods and old fields, driven from their homes because of political reasons. In the first place, we do not know of a single instance where an honest and upright laborer has been driven to the woods and old fields, and denied shelter for his family. It is true that some are out of employment, but the number is exceedingly small, and results largely from the inability of farmers to give employment to them, because they cannot purchase supplies on time as former? ly. Merchants are compelled to restrict credits, and hundreds of farmers are neces? sarily crippled in their operations this year. The limited number of leaders proscribed under the resolutions of the Democratic Ex? ecutive Conhnittee, not embracing more than one hundred at the outside figure, have removed from the limits of the County, or are employed on lands belonging to Repub? lican sympathizers. The few leaders who are now used as tools for the purpose of engendering strife and discontent among the laboring population do not and have not lived upon land belonging to Democrats. Not one of the men who figured so exten? sively in the San Domingo business has been discharged as a laborer, and neither of them can give reasonable proof for their reckless assertions. But the objects in view were partly accomplished in bringing sev? eral hundred laborers from their honest toil for the furtherance of political purposes. The resolutions are disseminated over the country just aa they were prepared at the "outrage mill" in Columbia. The behests of the party leaders are obeyed, and the whole story is made for foreign consump? tion. But the local objection is to galvanize the Republican party of Anderson County into life and being once more. It is a wretched corpse at this time, wrecked and stranded upon the shores of corruption, degradation and ignorance One-third of the colored voters in this County assisted at its funeral on the 7th of November last, and there is no resurrection from its inglorious fate, unless our people are willing to forego the advantages secured by its demise. Dem? ocratic land-ownert and employers are not compelled to foster and support the blatant, noisy leaders, who, in every precinct, are the source of mischief and contention, seizing upon ever}* trifle to poison the minds of the black laborer against his white employer. It is no wonder that resolutions are pre? pared and sent up from Columbia against this policy of designating leaders for pro? scription, for it is through these local leaders that the Republican party has maintained its ascendency over the rank and file of the colored population. Hence, we would urge upon the farmers to give employment with? out stint and to the extent of their ability to the laboring classes, and resolutely set their faces against the turbulent, disorderly and prejudiced leaders, whose efforts are directed to magnify the evils by which all classes are environed, and create dissatisfaction among those who are employed already and in the enjoyment of comfortable homes. A similar meeting was recently-held in Darlington, and similar resolutions adopted there on the San Domingo question, which satisfies us fully that this whole movement was con? cocted in Columbia. The preamble and resolutions adopted here are as follows: We, the colored laborers, farmers and me? chanics of Anderson county, met in conven? tion to consider the action of our white fel? low citizens taken in a convention recently held at the call of t ho Democratic Executive Committee upon the subject of labor and in favor of proscription for opinions sake, as men and as lovers of our own freedom feel that it is our duty to condemn and expose the oppressions sought to be imposed on American citizens because of their political opinions. We. as laborers, denounce as false all charges that we are actuated by hatred to our employers; nothing that wie have said or done can warrant this assault upon us by white capitalists. We' have been true to them for years as laborers; we were faithful to them in the late war and have been faithful since; it was our labor which kept alive a government organized to enslave us; we fed and sustained a sol? diery which fought to keep us from free? dom ; we worked for their wives and little ones in their absence; it was our labor which maintained the widows and orphans of those fighting against our interests; it was our labor that built their fine dwell? ings; it was our labor which made their forts in Charleston as bulwarks against our freedom: it was our labor which educated their children, which built the railroads, which made the South what she is. Knowing these things to be true, and that no malice has ever laid in our hearts against those who held us in slavery, that our con? duct has been magnanimous and forgiving, we feel the present treatment of the white people as ungrateful and unjust. We, there? fore, meet to protest against all attempts to curtail our right of free opinion and a free ballot, and adopt the following resolutions: Whereas, the white landlords of Anderson County met in convention some time since and passed the followiug extreme resolutions to our detriment, namely: "Resolved, That this convention adopt the actions of the labor question with the addi? tion that Republicans who supported the Hampton government and refuse to pay taxes to the Chamberlain government, and who join the clubs be treated as Democrats. ''Resolved, That the Executive Committee suggest that every Democrat in the County j be earnestly requested not to give any em- ! plovment or patronage in any manner to such men as were prominent Republicans? party or local leaders in the recent election, and that all assistance and encouragements be withheld from them. "Resolved, That the treatment of the rank and file of the Republican party be left un? acted upon by our people for the present, and that after the 1st day of January next, if General Hampton is inaugurated Govern? or, our people should be magnanimous to the rank and file of the Republicans of this County, and that they be employed upon such differences between them and Demo? crats as may be fixed upon by the different clubs to secure a just, deserved and prom? ised advantage to those who voted the Dem? ocratic ticket. ''Resolved, That with a view to carrying nut the foregoing recommendation we sug? gest that a complete list of all the voters in the late election be published forthwith in pamphlet or circular form ; that the name j of every Democrat be printed in one list, by j precinct, with the letter (W) or(C) to denote white or colored, and that the names of every Republican be printed in another list, by precincts, with the letter (W) and (C) to denote white and colored, and that the names of all Republican leaders be dis? tinguished from the rank and file of the party by having an asterisk opposite to them, and that each club designate who are such leaders in the bounds. "Resolved, That we recommend that the clubs proceed immediately to enroll the names of all colored men who are willing to join our organization, and that all who join before the 1st day of January next be treat? ed as Democrats in the contracts to be made for the coming year." And whereas since the above resolutions have been circulated among the clubs many of us have been thrown out of emplovment because we will continue to be Republicans, and are subjected to fear of want and -other calamities; and whereas we have evidence that many of our fellow iaborers are now living in the woods and old fields, in miser? able huts, suffering from cold and want of food, having been driven from their homes because of their political opinions; and whereas we feel that some measures must soon be taken by us to relieve our distresses; and whereas it is evident that we cannot live among the white people of this State and preserve our liberty of opinion and politi- ( cal action, or without incurring their hatred and indignation. Resolved, That we endorse President Grant's late message to Congress relative to the an? nexation of San Domingo to the United States, with a view- to make it a home for the freed people of color. Resolved, That we urge upon the President that he renew his efforts to secure such action by Congress in our behalf. Resolved, That we ask our Senators and Representatives to give their aid to the Pres? ident in this cause. Resolved, That we urge upon our fellow laborers in other counties of this State, who are similarly persecuted, to meet at an early day, say February 10th, to consider what is best to be done to resist or to avoid the ca? lamities sought to be put upon us for politi? cal opinion. Resolved, That a Copy of these resolutions be sent to the President of the United States our Representatives in Congress, and to Frederick Douglass, Esq., that they may use their influence in the cause. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Columbia Union Herald, New York Times and Tribune, the Washington Republican, and the Methodist Advocate of Georgia, and that a copy be sent to the Governors of the several States.

LOCUM STAGILLI. H0PEWELL DEMOCRATIC CLUB. A regular meeting of Hopcwell Demo? cratic Club was held at the usual place of meeting, Balls' Mill, on February 3rd, 1877. Capt. M. B.

The President then announced that .the time had arrived for ^the election pf officers' to serve.the ejisuing^vear. After the thanks of the Club had been 'tendered to Capt.

On motion, the Executive Committee was instructed to notify all members who have given employment to persons who voted the Republican ticket at the late election to come lorward at our next meeting, and show cause why they shall not be expelled.

J. HAWKINS, Chairman of Committee. Columbia, S. C, January, 1877. UNITED STATES SENATORS. The election in New Jersey has brought to the surface a new man, who defeats Hon. Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, the present incumbent, who is an ardent Re? publican. The successful candidate is Hon. John R. McPherson, who was elected by a majority of one vote. The . Republicans attempted the same game as in Illinois, and brought forward Geo. M. Robesoh, the Secretary of the Navy, at the very last moment, when it was ascer? tained that Mr. Freliaghuysen could not be re-elected. It was rumored that two Democrats had promised to vote for Mr. Robeson, with the understanding that they were to receive substantial reward for their votes, but this expectation was not realized, and the ballot stood: Mc? Pherson, 41; Robeson,. 40. It was a .strict party vote. Mr. McPherson has not been known in politics outside of New Jersey, but he has always taken an active interest in the subject, and it is said that his energy and influence carried several counties for'Mr. Tilden, for whom !he has a great admiration. He has been quite successful in business, as a cattle dealer, controlling large interests in the live stock trade, and the projector as well as president of the great stock yard and abattoir company in the neighborhood of j Jersey City. His electoin is another il? lustration of the tendency of the times to jmake legislators out of business men, j instead of relying for them exclusively jon the legal profession, as was once the :almost universal rule. There is no :special significance in the choice of Mr. j McPherson beyond .this illustration, how iever. .' '..,.' , .-. I The prolonged struggle hi Georgia has 'occupied a large share of public attention. jThe present incumbent, Senator Norwood, ?was a candidate for re-election, and his strongest opponent wao Hon. B. H. Hill. The canvass was exceedingly lively and interesting; and. at the opening both of the prominent candidates were on the ifield in person. Ex-Gov. Smith had a ?stroDg following, and Ex-Gov. Herachel ?V. Johnson had a few devoted adherents, jwho fondly hoped that their favorite might become the compromise candidate. Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown was regarded as a possible candidate, and his recent letter gave him much strength and influ? ence, which was wielded at the last for Ben. Hill. Indeed, the contest was really over Hill and not over Norwood, and the sentiment of Hill's partisans was that he was against the field. The popular en? thusiasm was in his favor, which resulted in bringing over the Smith and Johnson advocates, and on Friday last the stam? pede ?nded in the election of Hill by a handsome majority. The defeat of Sen? ator Norwood retires from active service an earnest, patriotic and capable man, who has served his State and country with fair ability and sedulous devotion. The friends of Mr. Hill claim that his election is a triumph of the people, and that the politicians were the only ones averse to his success. It is evident that Mr. Hill is not popular with the leading men of Georgia, who consider him erratic and unreliable in political life, but we have seen no evidence that there was any strong combination among them to com? pass his defeat. He is a brilliant orator and admirable debater, and we believe he will serve the people faithfully, but we do not think that his present victory will result in building up a Ben Hill party to control the State, as many of his enthu? siastic admirers predict. Tribute of Respect. At a regular communication of William? ston Lodge, No. 24, A. F. M., holden Feb? ruary 1, 1877, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Architect of the Universe to remove from earthly labor our beloved Bro. WM. J. BROOM.; and whereas some expression of love and esteem for said departed Brother is necessary, be it, therefore, Resolved, That this Lodge sustains an irre? parable loss in the death of our beloved Bro. W. J. Broom, who has faithfully served this Lodge as W. M. for many years with much attachment to the principles of the fraternity. Resolved, That our sympathies are with the widow and children of said deceased Brother in their bereavement. Resolved, That in memory of our deceased Brother a blank page of our record book be dedicated to him, upon which shall be in? scribed his name, age and dato of his death, and that this Lodge be clothed in mourning for thirty days. Raolved, That the family of our deceased Brother be furnished a copy of these resolu? tions, and that the same be published in the Andcrnon Intelligencer. J. J. ACKER, Secretary. Simpson & Sadler are giving away a handsome book entitled "Pearls for the people," containing much valua? ble information and many interesting articles. It also contains a history of the discovery of the "Hepatine," for diseases of the liver, dyspepsia, constipation and indigestion, &c, and gives positive assu? rance that when the Hepatine is used it effects a permanent and lastidg cure of these diseases-, which prevail to such an alarming extent-in bur .cduntry.' Take the Hepatine for'all diseases tof the' liver.
