Maxwell has an acre of the finest clover that we ever saw at this time of year. It is over two feet high on an average. Just think of the milk and butter in that patch. Rev. W. H. Strickland left oa last Tues? day evening for Atlanta, to attend the In? ternational Sunday School Convention now in session in that city. Mr. Strickland will return in a day or two. Messrs. A. B. Towers, L. P. Smith,. Jas. M. Payne, E. B. Murray, and possibly some other members of Anderson Division, Sons of Temperance, will attend the meeting of the Grand Division in Charleston next week. Maj.X H. Whitner, of Greenville, 8. C, has be/en appointed Register in Bankruptcy, to succeed' Mr. W. L Clawson, lately de? ceased. This is an excellent appointment, and will be highly approved by the entire bar. We fire requested to give, notice that there will bea meeting of the members of Barker Creek Church on the first Saturday in May. All the members are requested to be present, ?s business of importance will come before the meeting. The Williamston Division, Sons of Tem? perance, contemplate having a grand May Picnic at Piedmont, on the Salu Ja River, "which promises, to be a very pleasant affair.

We are glad to learn that the play of the "Last Loaf will be repeated in Anderson on or ibout the 15th of May, by the ama? teur company, .Thich rendered it a short time since. -The company will also render on the same evening a farce entitled "A Little More <Xder." We have no doubt i that a crowded house awaits them. We would call attention to the law card of Hon. J. P. Reed, which appears in this issue. Judge Heed's long standing and success in'his profession at this Bar has made h'm known throughout the State as an experienced and able lawyer. His expe? rience as Solicitor and as Circuit Judge places him among the first attorneys of the Circuit. The Abbeville Medium makes fun of the town of Anderson extending an invitation -to the State Democratic Convention to meet -here this summer. Attempting ridicule is the Medium't ehronic stats, and we do not suppose 1to effort in that direction upon Anderson will hurt as . much more than if it hod selected one of the West India Islands far its target. The military election in the two Cavalry Regiments of Anderson County will beheld on the fourth Saturday in this month. All persons desiring to have a voice in the se? lection of officers should join some oue of the companies at once. It is desired that a fell vote shall be polled in this election, and therefore every member of the two Regi? ments "a requested to go out and vote. Mr. J. F. Richardson, who was carried to Columbia for mental treatment two weeks ajo.jtfid last week, and on Thursday nigbt his corpse was bjought back to this County for interment, Mr. Richardson was a well-. to-do citizen of this County, and leaves a large and respected family connection to lament bis death. He was in the prime of life at the time of his decease. His bereaved family bos the sympathy of the entire com? munity in their affliction. We would ask the attention of our rend? ers to the advertisement of Messrs. F. W. Wagener & Co., of Charleston. They have established the highest reputation through? out the State for honorable dealing, and our people will find it to their advantage to give them a liberal patronage. They are live, progressive, business men, and have devoted much of their time and attention to the wonts of upper Carolina, and have always given their influence to assist ns against railroad monopolies, &c Their services ore highly appreciated by the peo? ple of Anderson. The meeting of the Honea Path Demo? cratic Club on hut Saturday was attended by about fifty persons. The busy season of the year prevented a large tarn out. Dr. Hudgens, the President, introduced as speakers for the day, Messrs. W. D. Evins, E.B.MurrarandW.W.Humphreys. The Club, on motion of Dr. M. C. Parker, de dded to meet again on the 2nd Saturday in Jane, at which time Messrs. B. F. Whitner and James L. Orr ore invited to deliver ad? dresses. The Honea Path Club is in thorough working order, and no local dif? ferences will he permitted to interfere with their party alliance We understand that there will be two or more cases involving the new fence law tried in Brushy Creek township this week before John C. Smith, Esq. We regret that thorc- are violators of this law, because they cannot prevent its enforcement, and by foiling to obey its requirements they only 1 lay themselves liable to its penalties, which j they cannot avoid. It would be a good thing for the lawyers if the people generaliy ?would disregard the law, hut it would be a very bad thing for the people of the Coun? ty. Litigation on this subject will prove Yery unprofitable, and we hope there will be no farther causes for prosecutions under the new low. The ladies and gentlemen of Anderson who attended the Oratorio Concert, given ! by Prof. W. H. Evans in Masonic Hall on j bist Friday night, in aid, of the Baptist Par? sonage Fund, enjoyed one of the finest musical treats that has ever been afforded in Anderson. "We would like to comment upou several of the pieces rendered, but they were all so beautiful, and were ren? dered with such taste and excellence, that it would be injustice to go into detail with? out commenting upon every piece. The 1 ?lies and gentlemen acquitted themselves in the most handsome manner, and gave a practical and efficient illustration of Prof, Evans' accomplishments as an instructor in rocal music. AS ARBITRARY AND ILLEGAL ACT. The down freight train on the Greenville it Columbia Railroad ran off about midway between Belton and Honea Path on last Thursday afternoon, and the damage there? from was so great as to prevent the passen? ger train from getting by at all that night. The result of this was that the railroad authorities ordered the Anderson train to Greenville, which cut us off from a mail until Friday night. Very great complaints are made by our people against this arbi? trary and illegal act. The authorities of the road have no right to take the Anderson train to run to Greenville, and thereby cut us out of mails, &c, for the charter requires them to run as many passenger trains to Anderson daily as they do to Greenville, while by the coursg^ursued on last Thurs? day they not onlyvdid not give us as many trains as Greenville, but actually took our train with which to make the discrimina? tion. We were kept without mails, and were pre vet ted from sending letters, papers, Ac., at the proper time. Such violations of the charter do not often occur, but there is no reason why they should ever take place. The charter is too plain to be misunder? stood. ? . lOin OF TKMPEBAHCE.

Sitton called the meeting, which was a large one, to order, and intro? duced as the Speaker for the occasion Col. 1. W. Simpson, of whose remarks the fol? lowing is a synopsis: I appear before you to-day, Mr. President md gentleaaen, for no selfish purpose?not expecting to again be a candidate for any OJfice. I have no motives in what I am about to say, other than to advance the in? terest and Maintain the integrity of that gi cat Democratic party which defeated Had-1 icillsm, drove the ravenous and vindictive thieves bock to their homes, and established in South Carolina once more a pure and honest government. The Press and many individuals have, without stint, criticised the actions of the last Legislature, and have forgotten when so criticising to tell of the rail good actions performed, or to explain those acts which need explanation. Such a course is ruinous to the party, and will surely work its disruption. Fair and hon? es", criticisms are right and proper, but such net to bring reproach upon the whole Dem? ocratic party, becauso the Legislature may have passed acte which you cannot approve. Rnther visit your wroth upon theRepresen- j talives who were instrumental in passing the objectionable laws. If I have done! wiong^ or any other of your Represent*-! tiv es.hsve done wrong, blame the party so doing, but for God's sake blame not that political party to which we all belong, and under whose banner we marched last fall one year ago to such a glorious victory?a j victory fought with such momentous results to every man, woman and child in this our native State. We frequently bear it said by men of in? telligence that they long to see the Legisla? ture return to the modes in operation before the war. I can ascribe such remarks to nothing but a lack of thought. Consider what a tremendous and overwhelming revo? lution through which we have but recently passed. When reconstruction was com? pleted our Constitution and our laws were overturned, and almost ever/ vestige of fundamental law existing before the war was swept awoy, and a new Constitution and new laws instituted in their stead, em? bodying the results of the revolution. Be? sides this the entire colored population was added to the body politic, rendering neces? sary an entirely new code. With such laws, and with a Constitution framed by the bit? ter and malignant hatred of our opponents for the purpose of the perpetual subjugation of the white people, what could we do? The Constitution we were sworn to support, and yet it hung like a pall over the paral? yzed industries of thj State, and turn which way we might, it stood ever ready to vex us. The laws were purposely in such a tangle. There was aot a lawyer in the 8tete who could tell what the luw was. Besides, the debta of the 8tate were in such confusion it seemed hopeless to attempt to rectify them. The bonded debt, of which we knew nothing, the flouting debt, be? lieved to be millions, the deficiencies of previous Legislatures, which by the consti? tution we were bound to provide for, the contingent debt, amounting to many mil? lions, and the bills of the Bank of the State, amounting to a million or moro, all were clamoring for recognition, and were so bound up with contracts and Supreme Court decisions, obtained under Radical rule?but which was law, nevertheless?it seemed impossible to adjust them, so as to give satisfaction to any one. Another result of the war I would call your especial attention to: The Radical party is the party of centralization, and so long as it remaics in power this State can? not legislate independently, and as if there To! no national government. In fact, our every act i* closely watched, and if we are not circumspect Radical politicians at the North will make use of our blunders to irr*" flame the minds of their people so as to con tin ac in power the Radical party; and so long as this is the cose we can never be in truth a free and happy people. Now, with these explanation!), let us com? pare the Legislature recently adjourned with the way they did things ia ante-bellum tines. It took before the war from five to seven hundred thousand dollars to run the Stato g?Vernmeht. Besides, tiny paid no debts, but contracted millions of debts, both in bonds and stocks, and endorsements for railroadj, all of which we now lave to pay. The lai.t Legislature levied 6, mills for State aud school purjioses. Two mills of this goes to the schools, aud which the peo? ple ordained themselves. So the Legisla? ture was not .responsible for that. The Consolidated Debt is about the same as the ante-bellum debt, and it will Like $360,000 to pay the interest on it, if found to be just aud legal. This is 3 mills mere, hut not quite this amount was levied?say 2 mills? for interest on a debt which wai not of our contraction. These two items for which the Legislature was not responsible amount to 4 mills. Now, take the 4 mills from the GJ mills, and there is left 2} mills tax for State purposes for which wo were alone responsible. Two and a half mills amount to $300,000; to thic add the $100000 received from phosphate royalties, and we have $400,000. But only $300,000 of this is col? lected from the people. Again, we contrac? ted nr? debts of any description. I think the action of the Legislature in the matter of finances will compare favorably with any Legislature, ante-bellum or otherwise. Compare our work with Radical Legisla? tures, and see what the Democratic party has done for the State. The amount saved to the tax-payers annually by comparing the expenses of the Democratic Legislature with the expenses of Radical l-iegislatures amounts to nearly $2,000,000. As large as this amount may seem to be, lam ready to prove it if necessary. Suppose- $2,000,000 were reduced to silver; it would amount to about twenty-six tons in weight, and it would take twenty-six teams, each hauling 2,000 pounds, to carry the stealings of these Radical rogues for one year. I think we have cause to rejoice, and deter? mine that never again in the future shall the affairs of the State fall into Radical hands. I will endeavor now to explain some of the acts of the Legislature, against which objections have been raised. The Press and people clamored for the Legislature to ad? journ. There may have been more speak? ing than was necessary, but we were travel? ing over an unknown track, we had no experience or precedents to guide us, and upon our actions depended the happiness and welfare of^all the people*. It behooved^ us, then, to walk with care and discretion. I will hers state as my deliberate judgment, that if the Legislature could have remained in session five months longer, it would have been the best investment the State could have made, and before the year is out the reasons why will be seen.. A good deal has been said about our per diem; that we re? duced all other officers' pay, but would not reduce our own. For the first regular ses? sion, and the special session following, we were entitled to $1200, as the law then stood, but for both sessions we only- took :MO0 and one mileage, instead of two. Right here let me stale a fact: The constitution and the laws both entitled the members to this amount, $1200, and to every member desir? ing to claim it, it was a vested rif ;ht. To pay such i.n amount was preposterous, but how to get around doing so was the ques? tion. I was sent as a sub-committed to con? fer with Gov. Hampton, Lieut-Governor Simpson, Speaker Wallace and Attorney General Conner on the subject. Ihry all admitted there was no way out of the diffi? culty, but it was agreed to take the ball by the horns and refuse to pay any but the $400, and not to pay that unless the mem? bers would give the State a clear receipt. There was another difficulty. The Senate bad a Radical majority, and could defeat our appropriation bill if wo did not pay them, and thus defeat the Hampton gov? ernment in its incipiency. After that the pay was fixed at $5 per day, and it was thought that the session would lost thirty or forty days, which would entitle each member to $150 or $200, instead of $600, as was then the pay. I do not regard $5 per day as too much. No farmer can leave his work and home even for that amount. I am a poor man, dependent like 'moot others upon my labor and attention for a livelihood for myself and family; and I assure you my losses have been such since I have been a member, that duty to my wife and children demand that I idve op such a life. So it will be with others. A legislative life is not now a holiday life, as it once was; and as for the honor, there is not much in putting cne's self up as a tar? get for every malicious shaft. Instead, however, of not reducing our own pay, we did reduce it more than that of any officer in the State. The fence law has excited a great deal of bitterness, end this one and that one has been blamed. The fence law was intro? duced by Senator Cochrun. The Anderson delegation, while they were each me in favor of the law, were opposed to hinging it up at this time. They were in fi.vor of postponing it to such day as would not en? danger our organization. Especially were they in favor of this policy, as they believed it was introduced for the purpose of divid? ing our people, for we knew nothing could so well accomplish such a result as this sweeping revolution. But such a pressure was brought to bear upon us by the people of the County, that we believed it to be our duty to assist in passing such a law; and we believed, further, that as the matter had gone so far more harm would be inflicted upon the party not to pass the law than to pass it. The first law was the very best that could bo obtained. After the eleven townships had adopted the ;'no fence," the five other townships petitioned the Legisla? ture to extend the law to them also, upon the ground that they were opposed to the township system. These petitions were signed by ? majority of all the people in these townships, except in Brushy Creek. With such petitions we would have been recreant to our duty not te so amend the lnw. But the time at which the law should go into operation in these five Townships was the question. The delega? tion was assured that the people wished it immediately; but not withstanding this assu? rance, I was opposed to its immediate ope? ration, because when the law did go into operation. I wished it to be as unanimous as possible. We are now, Mr. President, about entering upon another campaign, the importance of whicli cannot be realized. The Radical party is trying by every means in their power to make us believe their party is dead and gone to pieces. They know that so long as radical rule threatens us local issues cannot divide; and they know, too, that unless di? visions in our ranks can be effected, their party is powerless. They care but little for the next election, except to try and gain possession of the Legislature, and while they are lulling us to sleep by nominating no State ticket, they are organizing to ac? complish this purpose. But their main ob? ject is to get the Democratic party split into factions during the coining election, so that they can walk over the track ut tljo next Presidential election. Experience has taught them that if our people once split and divide, they cannot easily bo brought together again. They are not working single-handed and alone to accomplish these purposes. Expe? rienced and skillful politicians ut the North are helping and advising them, and all the money and men needed will be furnished them when the proper time comes. Every? thing, then, that is dear to uv depends upon the next campaign, and there should be no halting on the part of any. I cannot believe that there is a white man in the Connty who would by any act endan? ger the perpetuity of the Democratic party. I cannot believe thore is a man who would be willing to restore or help restore the Radical party to po'ver to inflict once more upon our wives, daughter), ourselves, our friends and all that is dear to us, misery, shame, disgrace and corruption. To run as an independent, or to vote for an indepen? dent candidate, will be helping to inflict upon us these woes. I have myself heard men say they would yote for an indepen? dent, bat I must believe that it was said under the influence of some fancied wrong or in a passion. I can't believe they will so act whon the imaginary wrong bos been explained or the passion has passed away. I have too much confidence in the patriot? ism of our people to believe that indepen? dents can ever again get a footing in this County. So !let us put that idea away and de? termine in the future that we will stand to? gether shoulder to shoulder, and battle manfully for the preservation of our civili? zation, our property, our all, and always, even unto d<!ath, against Radical disgrace. Radical thievery and Radical corruption. A CARD. In the last issue of the Intelligences. I see my name announced as a candidate for Major of the Western Cavalry Regiment, though I understand the Eastern Regiment was meant. To my friends, I would say that I have not sotight the nomination, but since it has been urged on me so strongly, I have consented to run the iace, considering that there is more honor in running out of it than in backing out. If elected, I will fill the office to the best of my ability. J. P. COX. Mr*. Jones, how is your health this morn? ing 7 Thank you madam, much improved.
