Judge Coolie's Speech. The following is the text of Judge Co ok c'a speech at the great meeting in Anderson on the 27th as reported in Speight* Daily Newspaper: My Fellow-Citizens In this grand demonstration and popular upheaval of the masses of Andersou county, I had hoped to occupy the position of a ? ilent, admiring spectator. But I find I am mistaken?and I suppose the issue is a speech or backout. The former I am not prepared for, and the latter I am not willing to do. And holding as I do, that when great public issues are at utake, every man'u position should be .known, I shall proceed to give you my opinion upon public matters, ana the general pol? icy which should characterize the demo? cratic partv in the approaching trial of her strength, without the semblance of varnish or gal vinism. For I have never known bow to counsel with the people except in plain and unmistakable Eng? lish. My friends I am overwhelmed with feeling. This is certainly a grand dem ons trat ion of the enthusiasm and pa? triotism of the people of old Anderson county, in every "way equal to the pres? tige of her former and better days. As a pcop-e you have just cause to be proud of your political record. No people have a greater right to rejoice over and con? gratulate themselves upou the glorious achievements of the campaign of 1876. While many of the oid party leaders i . publicly bold up Chamberlain as a model of all that was pure, honest and learned. Yea, even asserted- that they regarded him as the political Messiah of South Carolina. That in due time he would redeem h jr from the thraldom of mis? rule and dishonest government?and counseled that the democracy coeld do no better than assist in his re-election. Your Hoyt aud your Murray, in com? mon with Speights of Greenville, and Stokes of Union and Ehett of Charles? ton, saw -he danger of such course, and counseled against it. And you, the people, eager and anxious for the re? demption of the State, confiding in their wisdom, rallied to the standard, born by the gallant, noble Hampton and helped him bear it to victory in the grandest struggle for the perpetuation of liberty and independence, freedom and civiliza? tion, that the world ever witnessed. Here, right here, nearly two years ago the campaign open id, which resul? ted in placing him, whom every true Carolinian loves and delights to honor at the hend of the State, government. And to-day you repeat the brightest page in your history. Your cry is, once more to the breach. And let us hope . the welkin may echo and re-echo theory, the State'around, till every son of our old mother shall be fully aroused and gird himself to the task of sounding the death knell of radicalism throughout the State. C ur redemption is not quite complete yet. And regardiitglts completion as the paramount duty of the hour, we should more forward in the glorious work, with rail confidence that the great Ruler of the universe will smile propitiously upon efforts to raise up and re-habilitate the State. And in out* efforts to redeem the State from Radical rule, we should not lose sight of the success of the Democratic party, nationally. The past history of the Republican party fully il? lustrates the dangers which encompass our freedom and independence. The so called republican government of to-day is not the government bequeathed to us, pure and spotless, 'or the patriots of the Revolution. The dominant party, in its great greed for wealth, and exceeding anxiety to perpetuate its power, has lost sight of and trampled under its unhal? lowed feet the cardinal principles of the best constitution ever framed for the gov? ernment of man. The plainest princi? ples and teachings of the constitution, which governed and controlled national legislation iu the days of the purity of the government, if not lost sight of, have At least been totally disregarded acd set at naught by the party in power. The military power of the Union is no lodger subservient to the civil authority.. But its strong arm has been stretched forth to make a President of the Republic, and not unfrequently Governors of States against the popular voice. The constitution has been subrogated to an idea, a fiction. "A higher law," a law ou'aide, and wholly foreign to the compact framed by our forefathers. Nor were these outrages the sum total of their wicked machinations. Thoy boldly conspired to overthrow Southern civili? zation, by elevating to power, as rulers, the ignorant masses of the South. Then, my fellow-citizens, remembering as we ?hall ever, the efforts made by our sitter States of the North to overthrow the Constitution and destroy American liberty, purchased at so great sacrifice by the heroes of the Revolution?remem? bering the shameful and most humilia? ting degradation imposed upon us tit the close oi the late war?and remembering the example of our forefathers who first breathed the spirit of liberty in the wilds of America?and inheriting in a rich measure that.same love of country which kindled the flame of liberty in their hearts, and determined them to strike for freedom and independence, is it stracge that so great interest should be manifested in tbe organization of the Democracy and military in the South ? Is it strange tbe South should to-day present a solid Democratic front" to the North? None what.over. The North, may quiet her fears, if she has any. She hm no cause founded iu truth, to be ex? ercised or alarmed over the course of things here.' We mean peace, good will toward all men, of every race and condi? tion in life. Our object is to sustain and uphold constitutional rule, law and good order, by appealing to the judgment of the whole people. This, and this only, is our highest and only ambition. And nothing less could be oxpected of every true patriot. These are tbe high principles and pa? triotic motives which prompt our course. And believing the lost blessings of con? stitutional government, liberty and inde eindence can only be restored to the dion through tbe agency of tbe Demo? cratic party, hence our organization into clubs and military companies. In this grand struggle of the Democ? racy for the supremacy of the Cons ,itu tion, and the preservation and perpetua? tion of the blessings of liberty on the American continent, we should ever keep in view the highest and noblest attribute of Democracy. True Democracy is con? servatism. From tbe days if the foun? dation of tbe Republic down to the present moment, the democratic party has complained of extreme men and measures. Hence it behooves us in our great anxiety to carry the spotless man? ner of Democracy to victory this ft .11? as well M in all future legislation, to be carefu) and not commit the errors w rich cbaracteize tbe Republican adminintra tion of the government. Great modera? tion aud forebearance should be exer? cised towards those who are ignorant and cannot, or do not see the intereit of the state in the light we do. My friends, our motto should be ejual justice and equal rights to all men,: re? spective of race or previous condition. With this motto inscribed upon our ban? ner, and Carolina's uoble son and true patriot) Governor Hampton, to leid? victory will bo ours again this fall?and the way will be paved for tbe triumphant success of the democratic party, nation? ally in 1880. ?

Russian Captures During the Wa r ?From recently published official re? turns it appears that between the day on which war was declitred and the signing cf the armistice, the Russian army of the Danube captured 15 Pashas, 113,000 officers and men, 606 guns of different calibers, 9,600 tents, 140,200 muskets, and 24,000 horses.

Second Crop of Irish Potatoes.? To make a second crop of Irish potatoes, if only one eye ?hows signs of germinat? ing, I plant the whole potato; if two eyes, I cut it. It seems to me unneces? sary to e.tpotie potatoes of this kind to the air. When these cannot be pro? cured, select such as appear to be fully matured and ripest, expose them to the air in the shade, from two to four weeks, until they become somewhat shriveled, and plant whole. Even this plan will not secure a full stand, but enough will come to far more than repay you for the labor bestowed. When potatoes are planted late in the season it is essential to have th8 earliest varieties that can be procured. I have examined some plant? ed this season that showed signs of sprouting. And found them growing finely, notwithstanding the exceeding hot and dry weather.? \V. C. McMillan in Marion [S. C.) Crescent. To Catph Rats.?A novel method of catching rats and mice, which takes into account the social characteristics of the pestiferous rodents was recently described in the Germantown Telegraph. The correspondent says : "I do not think it is generally known that rats and mice will go into a trap much more rapidly if a piece of looking-glass is put in any part of the trap where they can see them? selves. They are social little creatures, and where they see any of their tribe there they will go. I am quite sure of the effect the looking gloss has, as I prop? erly 'baited' my trap for a whole week" without bsing able to coax one of the depredators in it, but the first night after putting in the looking-glass I caught two?one very la::ge, and one small rat; and every night since this device hai? made one or more prisoners."

"If you'll stay, >mother won't daie to lick me; if you don't she'll make me hop."

This Sarsaparilla is a c ombination of vegetable alteratives-StiIlingia,Man drake,Yellow Dock?with the Iodides of Potassium and Iren, and is the i most efficacious medicine yet known I for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully I combined that the fall alterative effect of each is assurjd, and while I it is so mild as-to be harmless even I to children, it is still s) effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enioys is derived from its cures, and tf;e confidence which prominent physicians all over the country repose in it proves thitlr experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are con? stantly being received, ;ind 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 tjat wc need ? do no more than to assu re the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
