Tribute, of Belton, to take charge of them. Ile is collecting theni up slowly, hat has met with considerable hindrance in tho dis charge of bis orders. On Wednesday a de'sebment of the Bel ton Rifle Malitia Company, commanded by rapt, 'fribble, came to Anderson to collat thc-se gttns as dhected, and upon their arri val considerable excitement was occasioned by thc Interference of Gen. J. W. Harrison, who claimed the right to collect the gnus, and disputed thc right of Capt. Tribblo to gather them np. He bad evidently been in communication with the Adjutant General's ofiice, but upon what grounds wo ore not informe-I, aa lie is neither an officer nor member of any militia company. There wa.*! no difficulty nor boisterous conduct on the part of the coupany who came for the guns, but they think General Harrison's un called for interference with their business was entirely gratuitous, to expresa it mildly. Uoth parties telegraph i tu Columbia for instructions, and Capt. Tribblo received an answer, informing him that :t waa his duty to collect the guns. Everything was quietly done, and the colored people would, from thc- beginning, have giver up their anns without trouble, bad tbrro been uo 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 dtitens. THE PEACE LAW ELECTION. According to the advertisement of tho County Commissioners, un election upon the queation ot embracing tho terms offered by the new Act relative to fencing in certain portions of our State, was held throughout Anderson County. Tho two forms of ballot prescribed under the authority given by thc Act were as follows : Those who desired the chanced wore 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 hoing technical and particularly described, no votes were counted in the elec tion, which were not cast in accordanco with tho requirements of the order for thc elec tion. In this action we learn that tho man agers and comiui33ionors have very able legal advice to sustain their action. Thc following returns from the managers of the several township precincts have been con firmed by the commissioners : BROADAWAY TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 120 Fence in Crop. 70 Majority for the change. 54 Irregular votes. 07 CENTREVILLE TOWNSHIP. Fence in Dtock. 201 Fence in Crop. 140 Majority for thc change. 55 VARENNES TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 258 Fence in Crop. 212 Majority for the change. 46 HONKA BATU TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 135 Fence in Crop. 131 Majority for tiie change. 4 Irregular votes. 42 BELTON TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 182 Fence in Crop. 100 Majority for tho change. 82 Irregular votes. 67 FORK TOWNSHIP. Fence in Crop. 158 Fence in Stock. 90 Majority against the change. 02 Hors-.VELL TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 122 Fence in Crop. 08 Majority for the change. 24 GARVIN TOWNSHIP. Fence in Crop. 108 Fence in Stock. 84 Majority against the change.. 114 HALL TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 171 Fence in Crop. 51 Majority for change. 120 SAVANNAH TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 07 Fence in Crop. 8 Majority for the change. 89 Irregular votes. 96 ROCK MILLS TOWNSHIP. Fence in 8tock. 71 Fence in Crop. 58 Majority for thc change. 13 Irregular votes. 21 BRUSHY CREEK TOWNSHIP. Fence in Crop. 233 Fence in 8tock. 71 Majority against the change. 102 PENDLETON TOWNSHIP. Fence in Crop. 200 Fence in Stock. 86 Mojority against tho change. 120 MARTIN TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock. 121 Fence in Crop. 115 Majority for the change. 6 Irregular votes. 17 DARK CORNER TOWNSHIP. Fence in Stock....". 95 Fence in Crop. 00 Majority for thc change. 95 I rregulor votes. 103 WILLI AUSTON TOWNSHIP. The returns for this township have not yet been made, though it is known that a majority of tho votes polled were against tho change. Thus eleven townships have adopted the new law. as follows : RrondawaT. Centre ville, V?rennos, Honca Futh, Belton, Hope ls well, Hall.-Savannah, Rock Mills, Martin, * and Dark Corner; and five townships have i rejected it, as follows : Fork, Pendleton, i Garvin, Brushy Creek and Widiamston. We have no doubt that tho experiment K will prove eminently satisfactory to those M townships which have already adopted lt ; I and although fiom present appearances we R nbnll have to fence some of oar sister town ?9 "n... off to themselves, wc have not fina'ly Igetting ready to extend to them the right hand of fellowship, for we are satisfied that the day of their conversion is near at hand. AR OUTBADE. . J. H. Ellison, who was arrested many months sine? on a rh?rge of robbing thc IUnited ?tates mail, was tried and acquittad in the United States Court at Greenville, hut because tho Grand Jury failed to find a true bill on ono of the counts in the indict ment, although the evidence under il was given on the trial, tho detectives bave had him rearrested under that count and com mitted to jail, to await trial at soruo future terni of thc Court. This ls an oppression of an humble citizen, which calls aloud foi condemnation at the hand ot every free man The government does not desire that per secution shall bc substituted for prosecu tion, and when Ellison was acquitted he .should not have been re-arrested, at least un iii u irue bin wa? round against him. If th? District Attorney performs Iiis duty, with a fi.ii knowledge of the tacts, he will direct the release of Ellison and secure thc dlaiuis ? ?ion of tho CjuJEuiiaioner and detective who made th? arrest. They ought also be , Indicted in ihe State Courts for oppression in ofllec and for false imprisonment. DEIST MEJTTIOR. Mrs. F. A.

The gifted orator' theme was "The Nineteenth Century," an' it was handled in thc most polished an pleasing manner. We would call the attention of our rear: era to ihe advertisement of the Carolin Collegiate Institute, which appears elsi where. This institution hos been ?teadil growing in favor v>ith its patrons, and n doubt will be very liberally supported di ring the coming session. Charlie Brown, a little son of Mr. Samui Brown, of this place, fell from a trc? on !ai Saturday and broke his wrist.

Mr. David White showed us a remarl ? poniological freak on last Monday, lt ? slated of bows from a peach tree ht ; fruit upon them which ripe;; :.. dill months. They came from his father's in Hart County, Ga., and are a curiosity. It is n-1 the result of crafting or budding, for the large and small peaches grow to gether upon the same limb, and one ripeas in August while thu other doer? not ripen until September or October. The trco is said to have consfotly borne those 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 Ute overplus owned hy 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 tho 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 tiu trespassor receiving punishment for his dep redations. We regret to announce thc death of Mr. I/croy Barr, which occurred at his residence near Easley Station, in Bickens County, on last 8unday the 19th inst., after a short ill ness from paralysis. Mr. Barr was highly respected by all who knew htm, and lived to a rii>e old age, being in tho 7-Hu year of bis age at the time he died. Ho 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. W. F. Barr, in business here. A number of years ago, however, he removed to Bickens County, and settled at the residence occupied hy him at the timo of his death. On Monday after noon his remains wero 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 tho 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, 8. M. Orr, G. F. Tolly, J. A. Daniels, A. B. Towers, D. 8. Maxwell, J. Reese Pant and Dr. J. T. Mc Fall, were appointed to .look up the.fraudu lcnt voters and secure tho necessary proof in each case. Messrs. Murray it 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 tho Ander son Club, because- he had remove! from the town, and a vote of thanks for his efficient and able service in thc past was tendered bim. Thc meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of thc acting president. It was evident that the moruben? of the Club do not intend to submit to thc 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 tho point of jurisdiction was put in question by thc respondent, Capt. John McGrath, who was ably represented by Messrs. A. T. ?Broyles and J. W. Harrison, who made carefully prepared and close arguments attempting to Holm? that t.iii? ^rc^eut Council cauuet consider a protest or contest for want of jurisdiction. They were replied to ' by Messrs. J. N. Brown and J. S. Murray, two of ?he attorneys of the Democratic Club or contestauts, who assumed the position, and we think, fully maintained themselves, that tho law requires tho 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, tho merits of the contest will be reached, and the proof of both sides adduced upon the stand. It will, no doubt, be exceedingly interesting, os it is a very important matter, and has already en listed the solicitude of our people, who wish to eon n check placed upon the unbridled perjury which continually manifests itself in our town elections.
