Greeley institute, ar.? whim* proceedings were faithfully sketched in our I last issue. This document was famished to : die Columbia Union-Herald, and tbs rs* I marks accompanying it atate that, in eddi, lion, appropriate resolutions were adopted, expressing loyally 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 bin officers. Tins is a grim and feeble joke on tho part of the Chamberlain hes, ?s they ure not likely to have an opportunity of paying taxes to the usurping government, and there ore no officers worth speaking of in Andenton County who iavor his benig nant nde. Besides, thc Chamberlain tax payer? are not overflowing witli money or credit, if we believe their own stories about the pitiless condition of thc colored popula tion in Anderson County. Seriously, the statements contained in the preamble ate utterly without foundation, so far as we can ascertain, as to laborers living in the woods and old field*, driven from their home* because of political reasons. In the first place, we do not know of a single instance- when; an honest ano upright laborer has been driven to the woods and old fields, and denied sheller for his family. It is rue that some are out of employment, but thc number is exceedingly small, and results largely from the inability of farmers to give employ meut to them, because they cannot purchase supplies on time as former ly. Merchants are compelled to restrict credits, and hundreds of farmers arc neces sarily crippled in their operations this year. Thc limited number of leaders proscribed under the resolutions of the Democratic Ex ecutive Cotdmittee, not embracing more than one hundred at the outside figure, have removed from the limits of Ute County, or aro employed on lands belonging to Repub lican sympathizers. The few leaders who ure now used as tools for thc purpose of engendering strife and discontent among thc laboring population dn not and have not lived upon land belonging to Democrats. Not one of thc 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 thc furtherance of political purposes. Thc resolutions are disseminated over the country just as they were prepared ut the "outrage mill" in Columbia. The behests of the party leaders arc obeyed, and thc whole story is made for foreign consump tion. But the local objection is to galvanize the Republican party of Anderson County into life und being once more It is u wretched corpse at tIiis time, wrecked and stranderl upon thc shores of corruption, degradation and ignorance One-third of thc colored voters in this County assisted at its funeral on the 7th of November lost, and there ia no resurrection from its inglorious fate, unless our people arc willing to forego the advantages secured by its demise. Dem ocratic land-owner* and employers are not compelled to foster and support thc blatant, noisy leaders, who, in every precinct, are thc source of mischief and contention, seizing upon every 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 a;, ainsi this policy of designating leaders for pro scription, for it is through these local leaden that the Republican party has maintainer its ascendency over the rank and file of tin colored population. Hence, we would urgi upon the farmers to give employment with out stint and to the extent of their ability t< thc laboring classes, and resolutely set thci faces against the turbulent, disorderly am prejudiced leaders, whose efforts are directe* to magnify the evils by which all classes an environed, and create dissatisfaction anionf those wiio are employed already and in tin enjoyment of comfortable homes. Asimila meeting was recently-held in Darlington and similur resolutions adopted thereon tin San Domingo question, winch satisfis u fully that this whole movement was con coctcd in Columbia. The precmble and resolutions adoptee here are as follows : We, the colored laborers, farmers and me chaldea of Anderson county, met in conven tion to consider the action of our white fel low citizens taken in a convention recen tl; held at the call of tho Democratic Exccutiv Cominittec upon the subject of labor and h favor of proscription for opinions suke, a men und as lovers of our own freedom fee that it is our duty to condemn and expos the oppressions sought to be imposed 01 American citizens because of their*pol?tica opinions. We. as laborers, denounce a I false all charges that we are actuated b; ! hatred to our employers ; not h in? that w have said or done can warrant this assail! upon us by white capitalists. We hav been true to them for years as laborers ; w were faithful to them in the lute war an have been faithful since ; il was our labu which kept alive a government organize to enslave us ; we fed and sustained a soi diery which fought to keep us fron: ft? dom ; we worked for their wives und littl ones in their absence; it was our labe which rr a. trained the widows and orphan of thone fighting against our intel esta ; : was our labor that built their tine dwel inga; it was our labor which made thci forts in Charleston as bulwarks against on freedom ; it was our labor which educate their children, which built the railroad which made thc South what she is. Knowing these things to bc true, and th. nc rna'.cc has ever lau. in our beni inun those who held us in slavery, that our coi duct has been magnanimous and forgivin; we fee! the present treatment of thc whi people as ungrateful und unjust. We, thoi fore, meet to protest against all attempts I curtail our right of free opinion and a fr. ballot, and adopt thc following resolution! Whereas, the while landlords of ?nderst County met in convention seme time ?in? and passed tho following extremo reaolutioi to our detriment, namely : "Resolved. That tlds convention adopt t! actions of tho labor question with the add tion that Republicans who supported tl Hampton government and refuse to pf taxes to the Chamberlain government, ac who join the clubs be treated os Democrat '?

"Essaiera, Thai with a v.cw to carry! out the foregoing recommendation we st pest that a complete list of all the voters the late election be published forthwith pamphlet or circular form ; that thc nat of every Democrat be printed in one list, precinct, with tho letter (W) or (C) to dem white or colored, and that the names every Republican be printed in another ll by precincts, with the letter (W) and (O) denote white and colored, and that t names of all Republican leaders be ? tingulsbed (Vom the rank and file of 1 pa-./ by having an asterisk opposite .hem, and that .tach club des?nate who i such leaders in the bounds. "Resolved, That We recommend that I shiba proceed immediately to enroll I names of all colored men who arc willing join our organization, and that all who j< before the 1st day of Jannary next be tr? ed as Democrats in the contract? to be nu for the coming ysar."

J. HAWKINS, Chairman of Committee. CJumbta, 8. C., January, 1877. UNITED STATES SENATOES. Thc election in New Jersey has brought to the surface a new man, who defeats Hon. Frederick T. Frclinghuysert, 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 tts in Illinois, and brought forward Qco. M. Robeson, the Secretory of the Navy, at tbe very last moment, when it waa ascer tained that Mr. Freliagbuysen could not bo re-elected. It was rumored that two Democrats had promised to vote for Mr. Robeson, with tbe 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 beer, known in politics outside of New Jersej, but ?te has always taken an active iiitereat in the subject, and it is said that his energy and influence carried several counties fbr'MK Tilden, for whom he has a great admiration. He has been quite successful in business, as a cattle dealer, controlling large interests iu the live stock trade, and the projector as well as president of thc great stock yard nnd abattoir company in the neighborhood of Jersey City. His electoin is another il lustration of the tendency of the times to ?make legislators out of business men, ?imitead of relying for them exclusively ?on the legal professiou, HS waa once the almost universal mle. There ts no special significance in the choice of Mr. 'McPherson beyond.this illustration, how ever. . ,. . The prolonged struggle tu Georgia has occupied a large share of public attention. The present incumbent, Senator Norwood, was a candidate for re-election, and his strongest opponent was Hon. B. H. Hill. The canvass was exceedingly lively and intfrpotlnor- ?in* *)~~ cpcnin? beth of .the prominent candidates wei*; on the Ifield in person. Ex-Gov. Smith bad a .strong' following, und Ex-Gov. Herschel 'V. Johnson had a few devoted adherents, '?who fondly boped 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 tho last for Ben. Hill. Indeed, the. contest ?vas really over Hill and not over Norwood, and the sentiment of Hill's partisans was that he was against the field. Thc popular en thusiasm was in his favor, which resulted in brnging over thc Smith and Johnson advocates, and on Friday last the stam pede ended in the election of Hill by a handsome majority. Tho 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 tho people, and that the politicians were, the only cac? averse to his success. It is evident that Mr. Hill is not popular with the - leading men of Georgia, wno consider him erratic and unreliable iu 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 np a Ben Hill party to control the State, as many of-his enthu siastic admirera predict.
