THE INTELLIGENCER. kOCAfc. MATTERS. flUBMASB TO JTJDOB HACKET ARD 80 On last Mono**/ evening thc Anderson wku&Uo Band, with a large number of our dUiens, proeeeded to the Waverly Uouso for the puipose of serenading Judge Mackey and Solicitor Cothran. After discoursing delightful rn*sic the members of thc bann, together with the citizens generally, called vociferously for J DIXIE T. 1. MACK KT, who was introduced in eloquent terms by Col. H?cker, and responded in substance as follows: . Fellow-Citizen* ~I cannot recognize myself as the gentleman who bas been so highly complimented by the distinguished gentle man who has been so kind os to introduc? me to you to-night It is, however, with profound gratitude that I vcknowledge the compliment yon pay me in this demonstra tio?; which ls entirely unexpected to me. I hid expected to speak only in the yoride; Coiitt House, and to hear no other music than the melodious voices of the learned members of the bar addressing the juries in behalf of their clients, and yet I must say that tbc strains of your music are far more pleaiant to me, os I have no doubt they would bt to the members of the bar them selves I congratulate you on the peace, ord? an(* prosperity of your citizenship. That t' ere is so email a proportion of crime within your County is a cbcumitanc* of which you should be proud. Tl.ia argues well for tho people or Anderson County, fremises future happiness and prosperity, t is tho .remit of tho triumph of Wads Hampton in the last canvass,-which accotu Slishcd tlie redemption of civilization in outh Carolina, and heralds on era o greater peace and prosperity in the coming roture. In many respects this is conspicu ously true of this County. Tho lost art of successful farming has bean more nearly reached by your people than in many parts of South Carolina, find on thia industry all others arc built up. It is related as one of tbs most pleasing iscldents in English history, in the reign of George III, that a Uirifty tavern, keeper recognized this prin ciple in tbs construction of bia sign, which wai four wooden men standing one upon another. Tho top man was clothed in regal robes, and wore a crown emblematical of Ilia away, and on his forehead was written, "I govern all." Tho second man wore the restirare of tue church, and boro in his hand the Bible emblematic of bia office of clergyman, and upon his forehead was writ ten, "I pray for all." The third man waa clad in uniform, and bore in hia hnnd ? musket with bristling bayonet, and upon his forehead waa written, "I fight for all," and beneath him stood the fourth man, with bis stalwart form surrounded by the implements of agriculture, and upon his forehead was written, "I work for all." Thero are no special issues before tho peo plo nt thia time, hot they are coming fast and thick in the near future face to face upon our people, and we ahould prepare to meet them before they arrive. The civili zation of South Carolina will have met its most deadly foe before the Christmas bella havo chimed J'ar.d before the red leaves of Autumn have touched tho earth and tinged it with dying colors, tho manhood of South Carolina will havo met its highest test and have redeemed thia State forever from bar barism and ignorance, and restored its for mer civilization. It is said by the whalers of the Icy North that when a great whale is harpooned he lashes the sea with his great tail, and beats the waters into foam and blood. The radical whale in South Carolina is in ottering Its forcea for ita supremo effort ju 187B. This porty is compact, and guided by intelligent and fearless leadens. Thia fight will not be mado for the control of South Carolina alone, but for the mastery of thc nation by the Republican party and to obtain a majority in Congress. The elec tion in South Carolina ia a most important one in a national point, for you elect mem bers of Congress, a Legislatura which e'eets a United States Senator a. id the board of State officers who will canvass the returns Iii the next Presidential election. This will bring forth tho highest effort from the Re publican:: of the North, which contains the TTcoUh of the great merchants and bankers of the nation. If the Repub lican porty ?01 Ohio triumphs, the peace std prosperity of the State is unin jured, or the same wili bo true if the Dem ocratic party wins, but in South Carolina it is a contest for civilization and the liberty of our race. Although the Republicana of the North represent its wealth and culture, they sro .willing to expunge our civilization in order to restore ?heir own power. With a thorough organization we con triumph, and when Republicanism sinks in South Caro lina this year, it will foll like Lucifer, never to hope again. There must, however,' bo ficrfect harm, ny in our tanka, and we must rowu dawn tho*- rlcvico of Satan known aa Independent candidates. Bolting in South Carolina will hereafter be pumahed with political death! Judge Mackey here paid s high tribute to the sagacity, honor and*pa triotism of Governor Hampton, and con tinued his speech by saying : Wo are threat ened in tlie coming canvass from external foes and from internal foes, bnt I believe both will fail. The people of the great Dem ocratic party feel tho elbow touch of their comrades,- and beholding its stainless ensigu .they will march together to victory. It is a mistake to suppose that no effort is neces sary, i It is an" old Spanish proverb, "Watch your homo on a goodvroad, on abad road he will watch himself." Tho hour of victory ls the hour of danger. I am glad to know .that yon in. Anderson County have eet tho example of organization, and lcd off in such manner that I doubt not you will be ?o?a^K? by tho Democracy of the State. 1 !.'?*V*?h>cn reading your proceedings, and am pleased with tho course of your Clubs mid ol'your Executive Committee, I (Ind myself in an anomalous position.' I hold tho principles I held five years ago, and yet I would Dinah to be called a Republican. The very name has become a foul disgrace. Tho Democratic and Republican parties how aro not difler?nt in their platfoTms, tutfhey sro totally difforent in their aims end management. The Democracy repre sents tbs cultivation of our race, and tho Republican representa tho ignorance and barbarian which threatens to overthrow tho peace and prosperity of our State. I shall/hold my allegiance with the Democ racy of tho State and nation, and hope'in tho coming canvass to return to Anderson, and again havo tie pleasure of addressing you. boucrroR cora KAW . was next called for, and responded, in one or his eloquent ana forcible speeches,'in which he complimented the Anderson Democracy,. deprecated divisions, urged unity, ana gave, wholesome advice to thc people or Anderson County relative to tho coming canvass. He urged thc people to do all thoy con,-whether it be ss leaders or aa privates. lio also complimented tho Anderson Baud and thc Waverly House, and spoke Of the importance or .perfecting our military clubs. His speech was full <>f point, and elicited frequent applause. .Wa regret that a lack of spaoo forbids a full report of his able speech. COL. B.

J. 8. CothrM.Titin? at bis postat duty. The Grand Jury?nil organized by the appointment of Mal. B. D . Dean foreman. The Pei?t Juri? were or ganized by appointing Mr. J. J. Baker fore man of Jury No. 1, and Col. Joshua Jame son foreman ol Jury No. 2. ; Judge Mackey then proceeded to chsnre the Grand Jury as follows j B It is your duty to act upon all bills which may be presented to you. These bills are In I L .n*?l,re of accusations in solemn form by the State of South Carolina against some one or more of her citizens. You will ex amine only the witnesses upon one aide of the case, for If it was otherwise your judg ment would bo prejudicial to the accused, by placing him under a cloud of guilt, and removing from him Uio protection of his presumed Innocence. You will act upon probable cause; If this exista in any case, you will.find a ?trae bill," and if not you will find "no bill ;" except that In cases pf homicide, if there Las been a killing, it is better to find, a true bill, whatever'the excuse may be, and let the party be formal-' ly acquitted by the Petit Jury. You will make an inquest into the public offices of the County. A public office ia a high trust, and the officer ls only the agent of the peo ple. There ls great responsibility attaching to it, and there la also great honor when properly discharged. Examine the offices, and inform thc Court of the manner in which the law has been compiled with. Seek ouch fact.' as will enable you to com mend where it .ls merited, but do not hesi tate to censure fearlessly whun ?? is deman ded by the facts of anyVase. If officers are neglecting their duty, they can be put on trial for non-feasance ht office, and punish ed as their offences may deserve. There ls a matter within your survey which affects the puwpority of your County. It ia the discontent and insecurity to persona en gaged in agriculture from the purchase and sale of agricultural products in the night time. The act to punish the aale of seed cotton after sun-down does :;ot authorize the sale of other products, as some suppose; but if the sale of auy agricultural products st night renders agriculture insecure, and disturbs the peace and contentment of tho community, it is indictable as a nuisance, and you should so report lt. The trespass af cattle on the growing crops of any per iou is a clear violation of law in those Counties which have adopted the new fence law, and the o vnera of such cattle are lia ble to respond in damages to the person in jured. But, U may bo said, they con claim die homestead exemption. This is true ol work animals, but not of milk cowa oi adves. If the owner of. a cultivated field Hays cattle trespassing on his cultivated fieiu, it would bc o harsh an ' perhaps un lolghborly act, but there is no law to pun sh him for so doing- Tho statute against malicious mischief does not apply in euch /ase, for if the killing is done to protect me's crop, it is lacking in thc essentials ol malice. There could be no indictment sus alUcd against the man who slays celtio ir ais cultivated field, but there could be un. 1er the statute for malicious mischie igainst the man who wilfully allowa bb ?attie to run upon the crops of hts neigh >or, for the law presumes he intended th< xmsequence of his acts. If you thlnl nore legislation upon this subject necessary rou can so present, and it will bo forward d to your Senator and Representatives fou should also examine the condition o 'our roads and bridges. The highways o rour County aro the measure of its civiliza ion. The student of history can otate as i ;eneral proposition that the civilization o .ny people is read in the character of theil lighwavB, commencing with the path o he Indian through tho forest, and passin; o the County road and the turnpike to th< Teat railroads of the world. Tho roads ar he arteries through which the life-blood o ommerce pulsates, and the County Com aissioners must see to lt that they arc ken ii good order, with the bridges in repair 'hey- have the labor of all persons from 1 o 60 years of age In the County for fiv ays at their disposai, and this is equal t 25,000 in Anderson, and should keep you oada in excellent order. Examine th 'cor Hcr.ce, the condition of the b lldingf be manner in which they are cared foi bo expense of sustaining the paupers, am be income from the farm. Report thee icts, together with such other matter s ou may deem proper. Look into the mat c r in which the other public offices of th !ounty are kept.
