THE INETLUGENCEIl r LOCAL MATTERS. BRIEF MEBTIOH. The Baptist Church at Pendleton has a newpailing fence around the Church lot Ctturt at Walhalla begins on next Friday, and, will continue through the following week. Rev. W. H. Strickland, pastor of the Bap tist Church atthis place, will preach next Sunday morning on the subject of temper anceT ' The Knights of Honor will henceforth hold their meetings in Temperance Hall. They meet regularly on the first and third Wednesday nights of each month. Mr. Joseph Sitton is fitting up the premi? ses about his neat residence near the square in Pendleton, and expects to move into it in a short time. It will be conveniently and tostcfullyjirracged. Up to last Saturday night about one bun dred and fifteen colored men in this County had paid the ten per cent, tax for the sup? port of the Hampton government. This is doing very well for the colored people. Chamberlain has not collected one dollar of tax, in this County. It is said be has only collected nine hundred dollars in the State. We would like to know how much of that was paid in bills of the bank of the State, Bonanza warrants, &c, Ac. All tax-payers in the town of Anderson are notified to make payment of their town taxes to Mr. Tribble, the Clerk of the Coun? cil, before the first of March next, or they will hav e the penalty to pay in addition to their regular tax. A word to the wise, <fce. Cannot the towns of Honea Path, Belton and Pendleton furnish us a few short locals every week. They ought to vie with WH liamston and Townville. We would also like; to hear from Equality, Moflattsville, Holland's Store and .other portions of the County. Wtf are requested to announce that Prof. Hofland, of Newberry College, Walhalla, will deliver an address before the Young Men's Christian Association, at half after four o'clock on Sunday afternoon in the Baptist Church. Everbody is invited to attend. Rev. W. H. Strickland assumed the du? ties' and responsibilities of Superintendent of the Anderson Baptist Sunday School on last Sabbath, having been elected to the j office'by the teachers on the Sunday pre vi- j Otis', vice Mr. E. P Eorle, who has resigned j in 'consequence of his removal from the town of Anderson. The Carolina Military Institute, presided: over by the efficient and accomplished Col. J. P. Thomas, at Charlotte, N. C, has a large attendance of students this session, and the" health of the city is said to be unusually good,, notwithstanding rumors to the con? trary. Our information is from headquar? ters, and is therefore reliable. We received a very fine turnip of the seven-top variety,, from Mr. John B. Adger, jr., last week. It measured twenty-six inches in. circumference and was of fine shape. It is the largest turnip we have seen during the past year which is saying a great deal'for it as wc have received a large num? ber of unusually fine onea during that period. We are requested to announce that a spe? cial meeting of Slabtown Grange, No. 141, will be held at Slabtown Academy on the first Saturday in March next, at which time it is expected that W. W. Russell will be ! present to address the Grange and instal the' officers elect. Members of the Grange with their families, and the public generally, are j invited to be present. Meeting to take j place at 10 o'clock a. ro. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Dr. J. B. Patrick, jr., of Charleston, S. C, who is now in our town for the pur? pose of practicing the profession of Dentist? ry.-. He is supplied with the most approved Instruments, and will be pleased to see per? sons needing bis services at bis office at Mrs. Robinson's, where he guarantees them satisfaction. He will remain until the 14th of next month. Our young friend, John B. Harrison, is on a vtsii to Anderson, and will shortly enter upon his usual business tour through this scctjqn. Mr. Harrison represents the house ofT. J. Magruder A Sons, of Baltimore, and has for a number of years occupied a fine position in business circles. He is one - of Anderson's favorite young men, and bis success abroad is highly gratifying to nu- j mcrous friends in his native town. The increased interest that is being mani? fested in the devotional meetings of the Young Men's Christian Association on Sun? day afternoons is encouraging to its mem? bers, whose efforts are doubtless accomplish? ing much good in our midst We hope our citizens will continue to encourage the mem? bers of this Association in every way possi? ble, and that it may become one of the permanently established institutions of our town. We request the attention of our readers to the1 announcements of Messrs. J. B. Clark and John H. Clarke. The former announces that' he has opened a new tailoring estab? lishment, and the latter reminds the people that'he is still the agent of the Singer Ma? chine Co. They are br jtb so well known to the.people of this section of our State that we need not do more than mention their removal to the rooms' over Messrs. Borr & Fant's store. Their reputation for court et y, integrity and skill in their respective busi? ness, is the highest commendation that bus ness men can have, and it ensures them a liberal share of public patronage. l:i " SEN AT OB COCBBAB'S "RIAL. Senator Cochran, of this County, was tried in Columbia last week for the mar der-of Mr. -Thomas Dent, which took place in that city last Novembei, as we noticed at the time. The State was rep? resented upon the trial by Messrs. Mc Master and Clarke, and the defence by Messrs. Melton, Youmans and others. A large numbe-of witnesses were examined on both sides, and able argument bad for the State and for the defense. After an. absence of about ten minutes the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The evi? dence snowed that Dent was a violent and. dangerous man, and that Senator Cochran. acted in self defense. The ver? dict of the jury is thought to be fully in accord with the testimony by the citizens of.Columbia, and we congratulate Mr. Coehran upon the favorable verdict, and its vindication of him before the public. 1 ' a A SEW INDUSTRY. ?We have received a bunch of cotton yarn from the new machinery owned by CoL F. Er- Harrison at Andersonville, which was mode directly from seed cotton, thus saving the trouble of a separate process for ginning, packing and spinning. The ginning, card? ing and spinning is all done with combined machinery, which accomplishes a very great adVantage. The thread made by Col.

Ail elderly lady of this County on last Tuesday walked from near Moffattsville to Anderson, a distance of about fourteen miles, to pay her ten per cent, tax to Hamp? ton. She said "some persons say we will lose our money, bat I am willing to give mine to Hampton anyway." This is an ex? ample worth of imitation, and it shows the determination of our people to support the government of their choice. No man can refuse to pay his portion when the widows of our County even walk fourteen miles to make their contributions. SUDDEN DEATH. Mrs. Rebecca Acker died very suddenly at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Hester Rogers, on last Saturday night. She had been in usual health, and retired on the night of her death without any symptoms of disease. The next morning she was found dead, and there was no evidence of the slightest convulsion or straggle in the hour of her death. Coroner H. O. Herrick was notified on the next day, and summoned a jury of inquest, which, after receiving the testimony of the family, and also of Dr. M. L. Sharpe, the jury's physician, rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death from heart disease. SUNDAY SCHOOL 2CA68 MEETING. The Hopewetl Baptist Sabbath School will celebrate its first anniversary on the first Saturday and Sunday in March next On the first Saturday at 11 o'clock a. m. a sermon is expected from Rev. Mr. Strickland'on the Sabbath School work. On the first Sunday in March, at 10 o'clock a, m., addresses will be delivered by Rev. J. A. French and others. At Hi o'clock a sermon will be preached by Rev. J. A. French, and at 1 o'clock p. m. another sermon will be preached by Rev. B. F. Mauldin. A fnll attendance of the neighboring Sabbath Schools is reques? ted. THE DBAHTAGE LAW. The cases of the County Commissioners as commissioners of health and drainage for Anderson County against Messrs. W. D. Evins. R. S. Bailey, James T. Keown and Mrs. Mary Warnock, for assessment claimed from them for tbe blasting and work done upon Rocky River, was tried last week. Col. J. N. Brown represented the plaintiffs and W. D. Evins and Orr & Tribble the defendants. The facts of the case were briefly these: The defendants and others, according to the terms of the drainage law, petitioned the Commissioners to have Ma? jors' shoals on Rocky River blasted oat, and the swamps above drained. An esti? mate of the probable cost was made by Maj. T. B. Lee, civil engineer, and fixed at six hum..-ed 'dollars. The Commissioners began tbe work, which proved much more expensive than had been anticipated, and when they had spent about twenty-three hundred dollars on the work, tlie defend? ants and others petitioned the Commission? ers to stop the work and leave it for indi? vidual management. The Commissioners granted this request, and the defendants re? fused to pay more of -the expenses of the work than their pro rata of the six hundred dollars, on the ground that their-lands were not benefitted. The Commissioners claim that the reason they were not benefitted is that they had the work stopped before it was completed. The questions presented by these cases are interesting. They are the constitutionality of the drainage law. and as to who is to lose the work already done in the effort to drain Rocky River. Are the parties who bad the work begun, or the Commissioners person? ally, or is the County to pay for the labor and expense already bad in blasting and ditching, or are the men who were employed to do the work to lose, their labor? The case was submitted to the jury, and a verdict rendered for the plaintiffs to the amount of 665 cents on the dollar of their claims. Tbe defendants moved for a new trial on the ground that no benefit was proven to have accrued to the defendants from the effort to drain, and the Judge granted the motion. Hence, the questions in the case are still unsettled, and at some subsequent term of tbe Court the whole matter will have to be gone over with again. It is impossible to predict with any reasonable certainty the result of the next trial, which will attract great interest. THE C0HH0V SCHOOLS. The Board Of County Examiners held their meeting at the office of Mi. J. N. Car wile, the School Commissioner for this County, on last Tuesday morning, and ap? pointed the following Trustees of their re? spective local districts: Fork District?W. F. Fant, N. 0. Farmer and H.

The hearing cf the rule against the Aud i tor to show cause why he'sEoula* not turn over the effects of his office to the County Commissioners, as recommended: by the Grand Jury, was heard on Wednesday night, the 14th inst., before bis Honor Judge Cooke. Solictor Cothran represented the State, and made a fine speech upon the question presented by the rule, showing jtbejtayerl nor'9 right to suspend or remove an Audi? tor, subject to the action of the Senate at its' next session. He concluded by saying .that the State would consent,, as the Auditor was enjoined by a (nvifsuit,. to continue the rule until that suit was decided. _ Gen. J. W. Harrison Jiled the Auditor's, return to the rule, setting forth that his term had not expired, and that he had not been removed or suspended for cause ; that he had not. resigned, and therefore his office I was not vacant. Gen. Harrison produced Gov. Hampton's notice' "cT^removf^^'amT contended that if hp was admitted-to be the Governor, this action of his was illegal. The counsel then Wandered into declama? tion about -the habit of removing men be? cause they held different political opinions, and said it was one of the greatest evils of the day. He also animadverted severely upon appointing men to office because of political services, and'declared thatf-fee liked Governor Hayes' letter of acceptance be? cause he promised not to remove men for their political opinions, and not to appoint them on account"t>f pbliticuFservices H*e asked for the rule to be .- discharged with costs. Judge Cooke announced that he differed from both counsel as to the proper course to be pursued, and that be 'would deliver his opinion on the next day, which he did in the following eloquent and felicitous lan-. guage, which we give as near in bis own words as we could get them. The opinion, though brief, decides in a condensed ana striking manner the points involved. On account of its sententious comprehensive? ness, we may well term the decision multum inparvo. The Judge said: For the purposes of the judgment of the Court in this case, I do hot think it necessa? ry to find the facts, for they are of common public notoriety, but to deal with the law of the case. . , The only objection urged against Wade Hampton, Esq., being- recognized as tbe Governor of South Carolina to-day, is that the declaration of the vote cast for Governor on the 7th of November, 1876, by tbe Speak? er of the House of Representatives;: was not made in the presence of tbe Senate; that the Senate should have been present at such publication of the. votes cast for Governor^ and that inasmuch-as the Senate was hotf present, tbe installation of Wade Hampton proceeded without authority of law. The difficulty here presented is suggestive to the mind, and to say tbe least that can be said of tbe conduct of tbe Senate, it was simply a bold conspiracy with D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., to defeat the will of the people. The conspiracy which here seeks to overthrow constitutional law, liberty and American civilization is not the growth of a day. When the heroes of the revolution and the sages of the thirteen colonies assembled to lay tbe foundation of the temple of liberty upon the American continent, they were there to take advantage of tbe situation. How applicable is the language of inspira? tion, even to that body which framed the chart of American liberty: "There was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan-came, also among them." Treasonable designs against the government established by our forefathers have marked the?history of-her progress down to the present -moment. And if there is no inherent self-executing, virtue in the consti: ution of 1863, we are to? day as a vessel, without chart or compass, stripped of her mast and rudder, drifting at the mercy of winds and each angry wave upon the quicksands of utter ruin as a State. But such is not our hopeless condition. If' tbe letter or spirit of the constitution is to prevail, and nothing but successful revolu? tion can prevent, we have all that could possibly have,been provided for tbe present contingency. The constitution declares that the person receiving tbe highest num? ber of votes shall be Governor. The lan? guage of the constitution is imperative? "shall be Governor." And the failure of the Senate to be present when the Speaker of the House of Representatives declared the result of the election held for Governor on the 7th of November, 1876, can in no wise invalidate what followed, to wit: the in? stallation of Wade Hampton, Esq., as Gov? ernor of tbe State of South Carolina. It was tbe duty of the Senate to be present.' It was revolutionary in the Senate to fail to be present. A wrong which the law will not permit it to take advantage of. In such case the constitution executes itself, and to hold otherwise is but simply to admit the doctrine that the Senate, one-half of a-co-or? dinate department of the State government, might, by its counteractions ana revolution? ?r,- conduct, defeat the will of the people for all time to come. It is folly and madness to contend for such a doctrine. The em? phatic declaration of the constitution is that the person receiving tbe highest number of votes "shall be Governor,'' and Wade Hamp? ton, Esq., having received of all the votes cast a majority of 1,134 votes, ito protest nor notice of contest having been filed and he having taken tbe oath of office as provided for in the constitution, was properly in? stalled in tbe office of Governor on the 14th day of December, A.D. 1876. Wade Hamp? ton, Esq., having received the highest num? ber of votes cast and having taken the oath of office is the Governor of the 8tate of South Carolina, and bis acts as such must be re? spected and obeyed accordingly. The re mo vcl of Thos. J. Webb as County Auditor for Anderson County is binding and effect? ual, and he canuot longer exercise the duties of said office unless reinstated by the Senate at tbe next session of the General Assembly of this State. Tbe Court holds that the duties of tbe County Commissioners require tbem to look after and take charge of the public property of the County where, from any reason, it may be without a proper cus? todian, and 1 will therefore direct the late Auditor of this County to turn over the pub? lic property in his office to tbe Commission.-, ers. He bos been properly removed or sus? pended, and therefore has no right to retain possession of the property and records. . To say that bis removal is illegal because he has done no wrong is as idle as to say that this bar might meet and levy an assessment upon the people of the State when Court ad? journs and the Auditor would do no wrong in entering it upon the books of his office and proceeding as far as his duties ;ex tend .to have it collected. When he begk'n theVorEr of entering up the assessment made by the Mackey House be was acting in violation, of a decision of tbe Supreme Court, of this State, which had declared this body no House of Representatives,?aud hence all its acts were-illegal, and; Xtt respondent- was therefore not only acting without authority but in defiance of the law as laid down by the highest judicial tribunal of the State. For this the Governor might, and as shown by bis return to tbe rule in this case did, re? move him from office. .-The rule is therefore made perpetual, and the respondent ordered forthwith to turn over to the County Com? missioners all books, papers, records and other property belonging to his late office as Auditor of Anderson County: S&* Simpson & Sadler are giving away a handsome book entitled "Pearls for the people," containing much ralua-, ble information and many .interesting articles. It also contains a history of the discovery of the "Heparine," 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 lasting cure of these diseases, which prevail .to such an alarming extent in our country. Take the Hepatiue for all diseases of the liver. _? Advice Gratis. The Hon. Alexander H. Stevens says "Tbe Globe Flower Cough Syrup has proven a most valuable remedy to me." Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia says: "I shall always use it with perfect confi? dence^ and recommend it to the public'., as a remedy which will afford that satis? faction experienced by me and mine. In excels everything for cough?, colds and' obstinate lung affections^"'"1 Ex Gov. Brown, of Ga.; nays:?"He finds the Globe Flower Cougli. Syrup a most excellent remedy."
