The Georgi* 8tate Convention ad
journed ?it? che on last Friday, after
adopting a new State Conntitution. The
people of Georgia seem pleased with the
result of thc Convention, and aa they
have to live under 'the law? made by it,
wc do not sec th nt any person ou???de of i
tho State lins any right to complain.
A moat fearful tornadore passed over
portions of Iowa on the 25th inat., doing
immense damage to property wherever it
struck the earth. Fortunately in many
places it passed in the air without com
ing to the ground, but at Council Bluffs,
on the Missouri River, it came down like
tho swoop of an Eagle, and wrenched off
two spans of tho celebrated iron bridge at
that point. They were 250 feet each in
length, and were totally destroyed. The
fury of the storm has seldom been equall
ed in thia country.
The financial investigating committee
have been in session in the city of Col
umbia for the past two weeks and will
conclude its session during the present
week. They have examined a very large
number of State bonds, but the character
of their report to tho General Assembly
is not at present developed. It is to be
hoped all bonds have been closely scru
tinized, and that tho commmittee will
discriminate between the bonds that are
valid, and those for which the State never
received any consideration.
Considerable excitement prevails in
Texas and Mexico over tho organization
of a State volunteer force of 2,500 men,
to punish the marauders upon Texus
soil. At first it wan thought this force
was to cross tho line and attempt to pun
ish the raiders, but Governor Hubbard
says the force will only bo used inside of
the State. He has found the United
States either unable or unwilling to pro
tect the people of Texas from Mexicali
deprcdatious, and hence hi? taken the
matter into his own hands, and will try
the use of militia on tho thieves.
The Grand Jury of Richland County
is in SCSAWJ this week, under a special
call, for thc purpose of considering ques
tions, relating to public peace and jus
tice. It ?a an important session, and
will, no doubt, devclope much of the
work which has been done by tho Inves
tigating Committee. Thc evidence which
will bo brought before them, it in thought
will secure tho presentment of numerous
ex-State officials, and upon those findings
and presentments, requisitions will no
doubt bo i&sucd, to secure tho presence of
some of our former rulers who have so
unceremoniously taken leave of us.
Ex-State Treasurer Cardozo, who, it
will be remembered, is under arrest for
malfeasance in office, and who gav? ball
for his appearance at Co uri, has taken a
trip to New York, and one day last week
some of bia furniture was found at a rail
road depot in Columbia for shipment.
It was immediately attached and its
transmission stoppet', it is said, by bia
bondsmen, who feared that tho furniture
was all thoy would get with which to
pay his forfeited bail bond. The ex
Treasurer's friends, however, say that he
will shortly return to Columbia, and that
the attachment of his furniture was un
warranted. It la, however, believed by
the publie that the name of Cardozo may
justly be added to the exodus list of ex
republican State officials, and that he
will forfeit his bail rather than come to
trial.
THE GEORGIA DEBT.
The action of the Georgia Constitu
tional Convention upon the State debt
question has been very much misrepre
sented. Tho. Convention recognized the
settlement of the dobt as made by the
Legislature, except that lt declared the
endorsement of the State on certain rail
road bonds invalid, because it was made
by the Bullock govern ment without the
State receiving on? cent for it, ind was
really about such a debt as the Blue
Ridge Railroad scrip, but without even
as .much justice as a part of that had.
The holders of these bonds have no cause
to complain, for their debt ?s aa good as
it was before tho State endorsed it and aa
they paid nothing for the State's o; iorse
mont they have lost nothing. Neither have
the repudiationista any right to point to
Georgia as an example, for aha has repu
diate* no jsct debt. Sha has doss ex
actly ?hat South Carolina ought to do,
namely, separated he? just debt frons the
fraudulent* debt, attempted to be im
posed upon her people.
BOOT LiCKISa,
We have frequently read ia history
of model sycophants in official stations,
particularly have wo seen these characters
in monarch lal governments, bat candor
compels us to say that Mr. Postmaster
General Key, of Tennessee^ is the most
perfect type of the abject fawning syco
phant that we have ever seen or read of.
A Southern man by birth, and professed
ly a Southern man ia principles and feel
ings, he has gone into Mr. Hayes Cabi
net ?II~?-? 1- 4U- I--*- -# -
office, and is seeking to build np a party
inimical to the interests of th? section
which has heretofore been his home and
done bim honor. But the country could
stand this position of the ox-Oonfederate,
and some would be disposed to accord
bim sincerity of purpose ia this He- allan
undertaking, and would afc least . napa
thixe with the gigantic fallo.?is ill

nonsense Into the heads of Yankees.
They are too shrewd to be taken in by
that kind of talk. Mr. Key fa rnakfng

? StiMICttON IN FREI?IlTM?
I We have nsBttrattc?? from Mewn?. F.
W. Wag*m?r tfr Co., of Charles ton, who
Wvt> been foremost of the Charleston
merchants, in advocacy ot a reduction of
freights to thc interior of the State, that
? their efforts have been successful, and
that in a few days they will be able to
furnish us with all the particulars as to
classification, rates, ?Ute.
The Journal nf (hmmrrrr, ot tbe 2Kih
j inst., publishes what purports to bc the
I long promised reduction, of which thc
following rates for sixth class freights ls
a synopsis of the charges from Charles
ton : From Ninety-Six to Golden Grove,
inclusive, 40 cents, instead of 50 cents.
From Pendleton to Walhalla, inclu
sive, 4iri cents, instead of 50 cents.
This schedule don not give the rate to
Greenville nor to Anderson, and heneo
we are at a loss to know to ".hat extent
the change has been made. The old
rate of freight to Greenville was 30 cents
from Charleston, for sixth class goods,
and if the South Carolina Railroad ex
pects to leave this rate to Greenville, and
yet have Anderson and other nearer
points satisfied by lowering their freightn
five or ten cents, so as to leave them for
ty or forty-five cents, where Greenville,
r. i'm the.- off point ta only thirty cents,
they make a great mistake. It would
still be an unjust oppression of which
our merchants would compinin. There
j must be some mistake about i he reduc
tion as published, or it virtually amounts
to nothing.
When we rceeive the full rates as
promised by Messrs. Wagener A Co., we
hope to announce that they are perfectly
satisfactory, and that all thc complaint
upon the part of our people against the
Railroad Company has ceased. And
here wc would take occasion to urge our
merchants, if a rate of freight* ?B adop
ted which will permit, to transfer as
much of their trade an possible, from
Northern and Western cities to Charles
ton. It ?B our city-the metropolis of
our State, and every Carolinian is in duty
bound to lend all thc aid ho possibly can
consistently with his own interests to
building up and developing this city.
Our money should be spent in it when
we can do as well, or when we can ap
proximate as well ai wc can do in other
cities. We would Uko to see thc entire
trade of tho State transferred to Charles
ton, and aro satisfied it could in a lnrgi
msssurc bc dene if thc railroad* wodi*]
lower freights, and tho Charleston mer
chants would make greater efforts to sc
cure this trade.
THE PENITENTIARY.
Since Governor Hampton has been ii
office me work?of pardoning convicts lin
not been a prosperous one. Very fe?
mon sent to thc Penitentiary by tin
courts get a pardon from our Governor
and hence, the criminals finding tba
means of escape unavailing, have be
come more activo in endeavoring to es
cape by their own efforts, and during th
past few mont!.* several havo manage
to elude the guards and get away. Som
of these have been of the worst type c
criminals, as in tho case of two of thos
recently sent from Darlington Count
for burglary mid grand larceny. Thi
bas been too frequent and shows bv.
management on tho part of the Superb
tendant. If his guards are not officiel
he should change them, nnd if he dot
not do so then tho public have tho rig!
to lodge complaint against bim. For ou
I part wo hove heretofore expressed th
opinion, that it is a mistuko on the pa
! of Governor Hampton to retain Co
Parmellee, as Superintendent. Ho
one of tho Republican board who cnn
from the North to South Carolina to ol
tain office under Republicanism, an
many of our people remember tl
taunting and slanderous articles whic
! appeared in tho Union Herald., from h
pen during the Chamberlain-Greene cai
Tass. It was as a reward for these arl
cles that he was made Superintendent >
the Penitentiary by ex-Governor Chut
berlain, and he remained truo to the e
Governor until it was evident his star w
j waning forever, and then with the tact
shrewd yankee, Col. Fam?lico enlist
under another flag. He received ni
spent the extravagant appropriation nun
for the Penitentiary under Gov. Chat
berlain, and is therefore no fit expone
of our idea of reform. He either us
more money under Chamberlain tin
was necessary, or he is not a sufficient
economical . (tanager to got along wi
the institution under Democratic appi
priations. In either coseche should
dismissed. JA gain ho is occupying
place from which a Democrat was ?1
missed on account of his political opi
icss, and wc think the Governor owes
to the party which elected him to reste
to office every Democrat who was d
missed by Republican Governors on i
count of their political opinions. \
hope a change will soon bo made in tl
office._, _
KO REPUDIATION.
The rep'?dia?onists in South Carob
n*e mistaken if they think tho r soplo
this State wiil consent to dishonor th
name in history by refusing to pay r
just debi We only want a full in7e
ga?on of the whole indebtedness of

any case where the money for the sale

and that where bonds were put upon
market at nominal prices, the owr

settlement, for the persons who bou

If they come out even they should

honor of our State. '
DIVORCE LAW.
The recent Constitutional Convention
of Georgia took a step in the right direc*
tiotl wflPII it nlf/>lnrilrwl tn ..-Irlo? ?Um
growing practice nf granting matrimonial
divorces upon ?light pretexta, and al?
though the provisions nf its nev* consti
tution arc still too lax, yet a reform in
thc divorce system of that State is likely
to be effected. Tho present constitution
al ?aw stands thus :
SKCTION XV.-Paragraph 1. No total
divorce shall bc granted except on thc
concurrent verdicts of two juries, nt dif
ferent terms of the court.
Par. 2. When a divorce is granted, the
jury rendering the final verdict shall de
termine the rights and disabilities of the
parties.
The defect about this as a constitution
al provision is, that it leaves too much
discretion in the hands of the Iyfgislature,
who may enact a dozen causes for which
divorces may be granted, but we think
thc idea involved in the above provision
is a good one, and might very profitably
be engrafted ii.to our Slate Constitution
with great public advantage. J/wse di
vorce laws are the greatest curse a coun
try eau he ntllicUid with, and while our
laws upon this subject are not so lux as
some of the Western and Northern States,
yet they aro entirely too much of an ap
proximation to them. The right of di
vorce on the ground of desertion should
be repealed, and then no divorce should
be granted except upon the concurrent
verdicts of two juries nt successive terms
of thc Court. As our land now stands, n
husband and wife who may become dis
satisfied may separate for the term of two
years, and then obtain a decree of sepa
ration upon such terms us will enable
both of them to marry again. Such leg
islation as this should be corrected as soon
as possible, for it is contrary to thc scrip
tural provisions relativ to marriage, and
is calculated to produce a degeneracy of
public morals. The rights of the courts
to interfere in the marriage contract
should be strictly limited to accord with
the Biblical provisions. This change in
our old laws was made by the political
miscreants who Hocked to South Carolina
just after the war from those States which
have such laws, and our law makers owe
it to themselves and to thc purity of the
moral character of our people to repeal
this statute which places the will of man
above tho mandates of the Divine Law
giver. Wc amy look the world over and
in every country which iias ioose divorce
laws wo will find a profligate and im
moral people. Then let us correct the
evil in South Carolina while it is yet
small.
THE WAR IS TURKEY.
Since our last issue tiivie have been
severnl desperate engagements between
divisions of the Russian and Turkish
armies in Armenia and Mulgaria. These
engagements have not, however, changed
tho ?tutu qui) of either army or led to nny
decisive results. A desperate figh* took
place on last Saturday near 'ho little vil
lage, Kurul: Dara, about twenty miles
northeast of Kars. Thc Turks brought
on thc fight by attempting to flank tho
right of the Russinn defensive position.
Thc two armies fought all day and the
Turks failed to accomplish their object.
Thc loss on both sides in killed nnd
wounded was very heavy. Gen. Melikoff
commanding tho Russion army in Arme
nia, and Mukhtnr Pasha commanding the
Turkish lcd their respective force. In
Bulgaria thc fighting on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday in Shipka Pass ^as heav*
Gen. Radetzky with a small force succeed
in holding the Bas? up to Sunday against
the whole army of Suleiman Tasha. It
is important to tho Russians tn hold this
Pass to prevent tho union of tho forces of
Sule'man Pasha, south of thc Ballians
with .lose of Osman Pashn, north. They
may not bo nblo to do so, but if they
should fail the Turkish army will bc eo
weakened by its repeated battles to force
the Pass as to render its efficiency very
much impaired before it can form a union
with Osman Pasha. In these engage
ments the Russian General Dorcschinsky
was killed, and Gen. Tchoutchowaasoff
wounded. Such is the situation of the
contending armies, now facing each other,
that wo m s y expect desperate fighting
from this timo until winter closes tho
campaign.
Affairs in Europe in consequence of this
war aro very much complicated. Russia
is threaten ? with rebellion in Poland ;
Turkey in Crete, Thessaly nnd ether
Provinces. Servia threatens to unite her
forces with the Russians and make a
common causo against tho Turks, while
Austria declares her intention to '.-ccupy
Servian territory with her army, if Servia
Bhould engage in tho fight. Prussia is
ready with Russia and Italy to remodel
the map of Europe, by which tho Ma
homedan power will bo banished from
Europe, and tho leading powers receive
large accessions of territory.
The Nez 1'ereca, Red Men, bavo been
giving *~ .n. Howard ana the white set
tlers in portions of Oregon and Nevada
so much trouble that Gen. Sherman hos
gone West to give the Indian war a per
sonal supervision. He telegraphs back
from Helena, Ark., that accounts from
Gen. Howard, as well as tho Indians, are
too confused to make anything out of.
If Gen. Sherman goes to tho front we
bc TT *11 ....v. ?rv. wutfii .o. i a ni m it. fo
ment of the campaign as to induce a
chango of commanders. Tho country is
tired of this bungling warfare. The
government ought cither to yield to thc
Indian demands or force thom to come
to terms, and it ought to be done at once
for tho protection of white settlements.

Terrible Tragedy In Georgetown. j
A cutting affray occurred last Friday
evening, at Ceder Creek, near Eatman s |
store, in Georgetown county, which for ,
fiendish cruelty and cold blooded brutal
ity has no precedent in our hitherto '
peaceful county.
It appear i that. J. B. Eatman had rev- j
eral hands working the road and among (
them wpri? two hpothnra Henrv snd Gads
den Rowell. In thc evening the hands 1
repaired to Mr. Eatman's store. After <
taking two or thrco drinks, Gadsdon :
Rowell approached Samuel J. Cooper, ,
threw his arms around him, pinioning
his arm to hi* side, and commenced to 1
tassel in n playful manner. No sooner
had their unsuspecting victim been se- ;
cured than the other brother drew bis i
knife and coolly commenced to stab Mr.
Cooper. He first planted bis weapon in
hi* shoulder, laying his arre open down I
to tho elbow. By this time Mr. Cooper.
?rho was a muscular man, had been felled (
to tho earth hy a pole in the hands of
Gadsden Rowell. Henry then cut & ter- 1
riblo gash across hi* victim's abdomen. 1
Then he stabbed the unfortunate man in
hi? face, the knife entering about an inch ,
below the left eye, and after ons or two [
more stabs delivered in the side, the
would be murderers left, their victim for
dead, bleeding from sixteen wounds. We
blush to say that the bystanders, fifteen
in number, ignominiously took to their
heels. One colored man-all honor to
him-tried io dissuade the villains from
their hellish work, but finding himnelf
unsupported, was obliged to ml low the
example of bis cowardly associates.
A* soon as Mr. Cooper became con
scious and realized his condition, he re
auested that neither his would-be mur
erer* should be harmed, stating as a
reason that, if ho recovered from his
critical condition, that he would right
his own wrong*, and that in case of ni*
death, he wished tho brace of scoundrels
to remain in the community, in order
thnt they might serve the cowardly fifteen
who had ignominiously taken to flight,
leaving him to his fate, in the Bame
manner.-News and Comet.
The President's Progress.
The President has declined Blaine's
invitation in the following dispatch :
FABIAN HOUSE,
NEW HAMPSIIIBE, August 20.
Tb Hon. Jaine* G. Blaine, Augusta,
Maine : I greatly regret that my inabil
ity tn accept nt present Governor Conner's
kind invitation ai visit the State of Maine,
will deprive me of the pleasure of enjoy
ing the hoepitsMries you have so cordial
ly proucrcd.
R. B. HAYES.
Among tho speeches telegraphed is this
one. Mr. Key said : "Ladies and gen
tlemen, I have not been accustomed to
New England or its people, and my edu
cation has not been such as to lead me to
form the best opinion of them, but I have
been here several days, and have been so
generously fed and met so many generous
mon and women, that I ara almost ready
to call myself a New Englander."
There is another which ii is impossible
to restrain oneself from telegraphing
South. Attorney General Devons said :
"I am much obliged to you for this re
ception. I know that it proceeds from
the depth of the attachment to tho Con
stitution that the people of New Hamp
shire have always felt. I know they
fought nobly and bravely to build the
foundation of our government, and I
know as well as they that they are as
ready to protect it. It is a happy cir
cumstance that New Hampshire has uo
battle field on its soil, although she has
made herself felt everywhere in every
battle."
A Revenue Tragedy.
SPA UTAN BU RU, 8. C., August 21.
There has been another revenue trage
dy; this time, at Foot Mountains, eight
miles from Lan dru m Station on the
Sparenburg and Asheville Railroad, io
The facta aro about these, as far as can
bo learned :
1 William Durham, a revenue officer, at
1 tempted to srrest one Harrison for dis
I tilling. Harrison resisted, and Durham
, shot him in the face. Howard and Gos
Hug, the only two others present, then
' killed Durham with knives. Durham's
brother then rodo up and shot Howard
and escaped. Durham was killed in
stantly. Harrison and Howard died yes
terday. Tho parties are all related, and
; much excitement prevails in the moun
I iain region.
OUR CIRCULATION.
The Anderson INTELLIGENCER has the
largest circulation of any country paper
published in the State, and bsa mora than
three times tho circulation of any other
paper in Anderson County. We print
and circulate regularly 1776 papers.
Our li??t in the County has increased in
stead of diraininh?M, and we hope to re
ceive a still g-.e-v'er increase during the
coming fall. We are willing at any time
to verify the above by an inspection of
our subscription book, or our paper bills ;
or when desired, we will furnish adver
tiserc with an affidavit of the correctness
of our statement ss to the circulation of

Cennittee of Pomona Qranrje.
This week we complete the list of sub
ordinate Granges who pay up promptly, i
The following additional Granges are
'square on the books" to June 30th,
1877. viz: No. 176, 212, 266.
We have purposely delayed publish
ing the lilt of delinquents in order to
illow them all tho time wo could to
mange themselves in line. Hut wc have
been disappointed, and here is the roll
}f delinquents : Delinquent lor one quar

Nos. 154, 155, 235, 800 ; delinquent for
three quarters, No. 216; delinquent for
five quarters, No. 213; delinquent for
lix quarters, No. 263, 294, 343.
Now, brethren, aro these delinquent
Oranges to continue io this dormant
state. We know that the materials of
which most Granges arc composed in our
country do not deserve to be character

well that there are good, active, zealous

Ll ranges, who, with a well directed effort,
could give life to these "dry bones," and
before thc closo of another quarter ap
pear before the Granges of this County
on a higher roll. Will not some one.
two or three members of these Granges
arouse themselves and make an effort to
revive and reanimate tho drowsy breth
ren. It is only necessary that life and
activity shall be shown by a few, and it
trill extend to others like electricity. Or
if there is not one man in any one of
these Granges who will go forward to the
rescue, surely Cue female members do
not forgot that the order is devoted to
thom and their offspring, and their hopes
uf future prosperty is concentrated in the
success of tho Grange movement. Let
?ne woman in each of these Granges |
make one earnest effort to revive and re
animate, and abc will very soon have the
'denmire of Beeing other kindred spirits
Hocking to her assistance. If she fails
to arouae the dormant lords, then let her
request a meeting of the Grange on a
certain day, and notify the Master of Po
tnons Grange, and she Trill send help in
time of need.

THE sickness usual nt this season can be
prevented by the uao of Simmons' Hepatic
Compound, which, by removing the nile,
cleansing the stomach and bowels and puri
fying the blood, enables thc system to reject
malarial poisons and give tone and strength
to tho whole body. Simmons1 Hepatic
Compound is nil Vegetable, perfectly harm
less and wonderfully effective ; can be used
at all times and at all ages, and docs not in
terfere with one's daily pursuits, but on the
contrary enables us to pursue them with
renewed vigor. It is simpler, better and
cheaper than any similar preparation ever
offered. More than one-half the complaints
which occur in this country are considered
ns having their seat in a diseased state of tho
liver. Indigestion, stoppage of tbp menses
deranged sUite of thc bowels, irritable ami
vindictive feelings and passions, and three
fourths of the diseases called Consumption,
have their origin in a. diseased liver, and
Simmons1 Hepatic Compound will cure
them.
