THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. GATHERING UP THE STATE ASMS. The Adjutant and Inspector General has issued an order calling in the State arms in this County, and directing. Capt. M. P. Tribble, of Belton, to take charge of them. He is collecting them up slowly, but has met with considerable hindrance in the dis? charge of his orders. On Wednesday a detachment of the Bel ton Rifle Malitia Company, commanded by Capt. Tribble, came to Anderson to collect these gnns as directed, and upon their arri- j val considerable excitement was occasioned by the interference of Gen. J. W. Harrison, who claimed the right to collect the guns, and disputed the right of Capt Tribble to gather them up. He had evidently been in communication with the Adjutant General's office, but upon what grounds we are not informed, as he is neither an officer nor member of any militia company. There was no difficulty nor boisterous conduct on the part of the company who came for the guns, but they think General Harrison's un? called for interference with their business was entirely gratuitous, to express it mildly. Both parties telegraphed to Columbia for instructions, and Capt. Tribble received an answer, informing him that it was his duty to collect the guns. Everything was quietly done, and the colored people would, from the beginning, have given up their arras without trouble, had there been no unjustifiable meddling by parties not concerned in the matter. The whole stir was originated, we believe, for political effect, and deserves the unqualified condemnation of all our citizens. THE FENCE LAW ELECTION. According to the advertisement of the County Commissioners, an election upon the question of embracing the terms offered by the new Act relative to fencing in certain portions of our State, was held throughout Anderson County. The two forms of ballot prescribed under the authority given by the Act were as follows.' Those'who desired the changed were required to vote a ballot with "Fence in Stock," written or printed on it, and those opposed with "Fence in Crop," written or printed on it. The form of ballot being technical and particularly described, no votes were counted in the elec? tion, which were not cast in accordance with the requirements of the order for the elec? tion. In this action we learn that the man? agers and commissioners have very able, legal advice to sustain their action. The following returns from the managers of the several township precincts have been con? firmed by the commissioners: Bboadawat Towkship. Fence in Stock. 120 Fence in Crop. 76 Majority for the change-. 54 Irregular votes. 67 . Cehtreville Towkship. Fence in Stock.201 Fence in Crop.146 * Majority lor the change... 55 Vareknes Township.

Fence in Stock. 182 Fence in Crop.100 Majority for the change. 82 Irregular votes. 87 Fork Towkship. Fence in Crop.? ?. 158 Fence in Stock. 96 Majority against the change... 62 Hopewell Towkship.

Fence in Stock. 95 Fence in Crop. 00 Majority for the change. 95 Irregular votes. 103 WlLLIAMSTOK TOWKSHIP. The returns for this township have not yet been made, thongh it is known that a majority of the votes polled were against the change. Thus eleven townships have adopted the new law, as follows : Broadaway, Centre ville, Varennes, Honea Path, Belton, Hope well, Hall, Savannah, Rock Mills, Martin, and Dark Corner; and five townships have rejected it, as follows : Fork, Pendleton, Garvin, Brushy Creek and Williamston. We have no doubt that the experiment will prove eminently satisfactory to those townships which have already adopted it; and although fiom present appearances we shall have to fence some of our sister town? ship off to themselves, we have not finally despaired of them, but on the contrary are getting ready to extend to them the right hand of fellowship, for we are satisfied that the day of their conversion is near at hand. AN OUTRAGE. J. H. Ellison, who was arrested many months since on a charge of robbing the United States mail, was tried and acquitted in the United States Court at Greenville, but because the Grand Jury failed to find a true bill on one of the counts in the indict? ment, although the evidence under it was given on the trial, the detectives have had him rearrested under that count and com? mitted to jail, to await trial at some future term of the Court. This is an oppression of an humble citizen, which calls aloud for condemnation at the hand oi every free man. The government does not desire that per? secution shall be substituted for prosecu? tion, and when Ellison was acquitted he should not have been re-arrested, at least un til a true bill was found against him. If the District Attorney performs bis duty, with a rail knowledge of the facts, he will direct the release of Ellison and secure the dismis? sion of the Commissioner and detective who made the arrest. They ought also be indicted in the State Courts for oppression in office and for false imprisonment. BRIET MENTION. Mrs. F. A. Bellotte is making some addi? tional improvements to her residence on River street. Rev. "Wm. Henry Strickland will preach in his Church next Sunday as usual at 10:30 a. m.; Subject?"Paradise, or the Interme? diate State." Rev. H. F. Chreitzberg and John C. Whitfield, Esq., have returned from a short trip to the mountains of this State and North Carolina. Mr. J. D. Burton brought us on last Mon | day some very fine Indian peaches as an example of how well this species of the peach will grow in this County. The Rev. T. F. Gadsden is in charge of Grace Church for the ensuing two months, and services are held each Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. and 61 o'clock p. m. Thomas Hutchins, of this County, charg? ed with retailing without license, was con? victed in the United States Court, and sen? tenced to eight months imprisonment. The temperance pic nie at New Prospect on Friday, the 24th inst., bids fair to be a very successful affair. Speeches are expec ted from J. L. Tribble, Esq., and others. We are requested to announce that Rev. J. F. Probst, of the Lutheran Church, will preach to the Germans in Temperance Hall on next Sabbath morning, the 26th inst., at 11 o'oclock. Mr. Thomas M. Cater brought to our office on Tuesday morning a very fine red Tomat to weighing twelve ounces. It is the largest we have seen this season, and was very per? fect in form. Mr. Harrison M. Long, of Buford, Ga., a former citizen of this County, is out on a visit to relatives and friends in South Caro? lina. He is in good health, and is pleased with his adopted State. The County Commissioners have an? nounced the vote upon the question as pub? lished elsewhere, but their official notice came in too late for publication this week. It will appear in our next issue. We are requested t? announce that there will be a.meeting of Neal's Creek Grange on next Thursday, the 30th inst., at two o'clock in the afternoon. A full attendance of the members of the Grange is requested. *We regret to announce the death of little Minnie, only child of Mr. Jessie J. Dobbins, of this town, which occurred on the 15th inst. Her remains were interred in Provi? dence Church yard, some eight miles south? west of Anderson, on the following day. A very pleasant social pic nie was enjoyed at Andersonville on yesterday, Wednesday, by the young ladies and gentlemen of the surrounding country. Andersonville is a delightful place, and the pic nics there can? not fail to be most agreeable to all present. The Anderson Base Ball Club will play a match game with the Pendleton Base Ball Club at Pendleton on Friday, to-morrow. It is time Anderson was winning one match game, and therefore, we advise the Pendle? ton Club to have a ball and bat ready to sur? render to them. The address of Col. E. M. Rucker, before the Woman's Mission Society on last Tues? day night, was an eloquent and highly en? tertaining oration. The gifted orator's theme was "The Nineteenth Century," and it was handled in the most polished and pleasing manner. We would call the attention of our read? ers to the advertisement of the Carolina Collegiate Institute, which appears else? where. This institution has been steadily growing in favor with its patrons, and no doubt will be very liberally supported du? ring the coming session. Charlie Brown, a little son of Mr. Samuel Brown, of this place, fell from a tree on last Saturday and broke his wrist. He was out at the election in Varennes Township, and had climbed a tree to the height of some eight or ten feet, which distance he fell. We are glad to learn tbat he is improving. In the recent election upon the fence question in Hall township, a majority of the colored votes cast were favorable to the change in the law. This action on their part showed an amount of intelligent com? prehension of the merits of the change which was not equalled by their color in any other township. The revival meeting in the Pendleton Baptist Church is still in progress, and the interest has not decreased. Up to this time fifty-seven persons have joined the church, and the congregations are large and atten? tive, with promise of still further additions. A number have also joined the churches of other denominations in the place. We understand that two young white men have been congratulating themselves that their votes decided the recent election for Intendant in favor of the Independent can? didate against the regular Democratic nomi? nee. We would suggest to them not to be so egotistic. Their votes did no more towards it than Sam. Greene or Lawrence Walker's. We are requested to announce that Bishop W. B. W. Howe, of the Diocese of South Carolina, will make his annual visit to this parish, and hold divine services in the Episcopal Church in the morning and after? noon of Tuesday, the 28th inst. At the morning service the holy communion and rite of confirmation will be administered. The usual service of the Baptist Church for last Sunday night was suspended, in order that those desiring might attend the special service in the Presbyterian Church, that day being their regular August com? munion season. An interesting and in? structive sermon was preached from Gen? esis, chapter 6, verse 3, by Rev. W. L. Mor? ris, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Walhalla. The service was well attended. The case of E. P. Boseman, charged with passing counterfeit money, was tried on last Monday in the United States Court at Green? ville, and the prisoner was convicted. The defense was represented by Messrs. A. Blythe and E. B. Murray, who moved for a new trial upon several grounds, but failed to secure a new hearing. The prisoner was sentenced to two years imprisonment in the Penitentiary at Albauy. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of the Adger College, at Walhalla, S. C. This College has just been organized, with an endowment fund of twenty thou? sand dollars, and have elected an able and competent corps of Professors, among whom is Maj. Ben. Sloan, a, graduate of West Point, who assumes the chair of Mathematics. The institution is named for Rev. John B. Adger, D. D., the distin? guished divine of the Presbyterian Church, and formerly Professor in the Theological Seminary at Columbia. Mr. David White showed us a remarkable pomological freak on last Monday. It con? sisted of bows from a peach tree having fruit upon them which ripens in different months. They came from his father's place in Hart County, GaM and are a curiosity. It is not the result of grafting or budding, for the large and small peaches grow to? gether upon the same limb, and one ripens in August while the other does not ripen until September or October. The tree is said to have consistly borne these two kinds Of fruit for a number of years. Can some of our fruit-growing friends explain this mystery ? It is rumored that the revenue detectives have been going around through some por? tions of this County with a new scheme for invading the rights of our citizens. They claim that no man can have more than fifty stalks of tobacco, and have in some in? stances pulled up the overplus owned by some of our farmers. "We would suggest that the proper remedy for this mode of procedure is to take warrants for these fel? lows in the State Courts; and if our people will have a few of them arrested, they will learn that the rights of peaceable citizens cannot be so wantonly invaded without the trespasser receiving punishment for his dep? redations. "We regret to announce the death of Mr. Leroy Barr, which occurred at his residence near Easley Station, in Pickens County, on last Sunday the 19th inst., after a short ill? ness from paralysis. Mr. Barr was highly ! respected by all who knew him, and lived to a ripe old age, being in the 74th year of his age at the time he died. He was for a number of years a citizen of this County, and was one of the first residents of Ander? son, and now has a son, Mr. \V. F. Barr, in business here. A number of years ago, however, he removed to Pickens County, and settled at the residence occupied by him at the time of his death. On Monday after? noon his remains were interred in St. Paul's churhyard in this County. The Anderson Democratic Club held a meeting on last Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose of considering what action should be taken in regard to the late town election, and unanimously decided to protest and contest the election for Intendant, on the grounds heretofore stated. A commit? tee of two from each ward, consisting of Messrs. P. K. McCully, S. M. Orr, G. F. Tolly, J. A. Daniels, A. B. Towers, D. S. Maxwell, J. Reese Fant and Dr. J. T. Mc Fall, were appointed to .look up the^fraudu lent voters and secure the necessary proof in each case. Messrs. Murray & Murray, John B. Moore and J. N. Brown were retained as counsel for the club, and a resolution was passed directing the prosecution of all illegal voters, without regard to person. At the conclusion of the business, president A. J. Watt resigned the presidency of the Ander? son Club, because he had removed from the town, and a vote of thanks for his efficient and able service in the past was tendered him. The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the acting president. It was evident that the members of the Club do not intend to submit to the town elections being controlled by perjured votes any longer. The day of reckoning is at hand for illegal voters in this town. The Demo? cratic Club will not be cheated out of its fairly won victory. The case of the contested town election was taken up by the old Council on last Monday in the Court House, and the point of jurisdiction was put in question by the respondent, Capt. John McGrath, who was ably represented by Messrs. A. T.JBroyles and J. W. Harrison, who made carefully prepared and close arguments attempting to show that the present Council cannot consider a protest or contest for want of jurisdiction. They were replied to' by Messrs. J. N. Brown and J. S. Murray, two of the attorneys of the Democratic Club or contestants, who assumed the position, and we think, fully maintained themselves, that the law requires the outgoing Council to count and declare the election only upon the legal votes cast. The argument occupied near four hours, and much interest was manifested in it by the spectators. At the conclusion of the argument the Council re? served its decision until 10 o'clock this, (Thursday) morning. If the Council de? cide, as is generally believed it will, that they have jurisdiction, the technical difficul? ties having been removed, the merits of the contest will be reached, and the proof of both sides adduced upon the stand. It will, no doubt, be exceedingly interesting, as it is a very important matter, and has already en? listed the solicitude of our people, who wish to see a check placed upon the unbridled perjury which continually manifests itself in our town elections. County Correspondence. HONEA PATH. The election passed off quietly on Satur? day last, with the following result: Fence in stock, 135 votes; fence in crops, 131, and in the crops, 42.Rev.

Editor: The election is over, and Pendle; Dn township is numbered among those tbnl desire to pull along in the old "rut" another century; but I am proud to say that nearly all of the land-owners?86 in number?discharged their full duty, but owing to a large colored population, who "know not what they do," led by a few cotiscieiUious gentlemen, managed to poll a large majority against a blessing in disguise. I now propose to those townships defeated that we send one respectable, honest colored man from each township (at our expense) to Mecklenburg, North Carolina, to see the practical workings of the law, and report to us before the election in December. If you favor the plan suggest some time for meet? ing at Anderson C. H. at an early day to perfect the arrangements, and the result the next time will be very different, indeed. Respectfully, W.

They made a similar attempt two years ago, but the effort was lost. Now, however, roused by necessity's demands, (the present buiding being rendered uncomfortable by dilapidation,) and doubtless spurred by the activity of their Presbyterian brethren, they will no doubt carry the undertaking to a successful termination.Harrison Acade? my, in charge of W.

At a meeting of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, held in the Court House at Anderson, August, 8th inst., the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Shite Agricultural and Mechanical Society hereby tender its cordial thanks to the citizens of Anderson and the Pomona Grange for its kind and hospitable entertainment. THOS. W. HOLLOW AY, Secretary. Worms are often the cause of great suffer? ing and disease in children, which frequent? ly terminate in death.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives-Stillingia,Man drake,Yellow Dock?with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully combinea that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the country repose in it proves their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are con? stantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sarsaparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally is its superiority to any other medicine known that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained. PREPARED BY Dr. J.

A NEW COUNT TO BE MADE, Which goes hehind the Returning Board. AFTER carefully aggregating the returns made by our customers for advancements made during the years 1875-76, we find that a large number of the precincts have not been heard from, and a great many others have only made partial returns. Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That if full and satisfactory returns are not made on or before the first day of April, a summons will bo filed in the Sheriffs Office, requiring defaulters to show cause why such returns have not been made. Testimony will be admitted going behind the Returning Board, and if it appears that the parties have fraudulently carried their Cotton to Greenville and other markets to evade the payment of their Account, then Judgment will be obtained and an Execution issued against their property, which will insure a fair count.

WILSON & REED, No. 7 Granite Row. NO MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD EXCEPTE? ! IT is well for all people to understand each ether, and then there is rarely cause for trou? ble or difficulty ; but our object is not to make a flowery speech, but to come down to real facts. We give this timely notice to all who owe us money, whether the debt was contracted during the present or former years, and no matter for what contracted?meal, bread, general merchandise, or as agents for Guano?that every cent due us must be paid out of the first cotton gathered next fall. We have heretofore been too indulgent with our friends: and our experience has taught us the longer we wait for our money, the harder it is for people to pay. We will take Cotton, Corn, Wheat, Money, or anything else that we can readily turn into money, for all debts due us. But we must be paid some? how, or sue our friends, whether they ever pay us anything or not. The time to settle up is near at hand, we want our money, and desire to see our people out of debt. We still keep a large stock of Goods on hancl, which we would be pleased to sell for cash or to good ancf prompt paying people on time. If you want to buy Sugar Cane Mills and Evapora? tors, sec us bifore you buy. We sell them at manufacturer's prices. BLECKLEY, BROWN & CO. Anderson, S. C, May 31,1877 WATCHES! JEWELRY! ?OMAINE GOLD, so extensively worn in Paris, was first discovered in 1870, by the celebrated French chemist, M?ns. D. Be Lainge, who manufactured it into jewelry, and % five years sold it to the leading jewelers of Paris for Solid Gold. In 18/5, when his secret became known, ten of the manufacturing jewelers established a stock company, with a capital of 310,000,000 for the purpose of manufacturing ROMAINE GOLD JEWELY AND WATCHES.

April 5,1877_26_ly A Case of Liver Disease 11 years standing cured by the use of Simmon's Hepatic Compound. Gentlemen?I think it the duty of every? body that can render assistance to the af? flicted to do so, therefore, I take great pleas? ure in testifying from my oyn knowledge to the great efficacy of your Simmon's He? patic Compound. I commenced using it in my family in a case of Liver Disease of 11 years standing, which it has entirely cured. Its wonderful effects in the imme? diate cure of Sick-headache, Dyspepsia and Chills and Fevers, I am glad to say, has been fully realized in my family from the use of a few bottles of this medicine. My wife has been subject to severe spells of sick headache-for more than 2 years, and has been entirely cured by using a few bottles of Simmon's Hepatic Compound and has determined to keep it always in our house. We consider it an invaluable family medi? cine. Yours truly, ROBT. E. WELCH. Sleepy Hollow, Burke Co., Ga., May, '76. For sale at wholesale and retail by SIMP? SON & SADLER. Anderson, S. C.
