That no auch latter was written by a Democrat fiona Green ville ia too evident to be doubted by any person, for if any auch feeling existed ,iuy sane man would have more policy than to expresa it, and every fair-minded chiten of tho Uaiori ?nowa tir.? the peo ple of f*'Uth Carolina are to-day aa true and loyal to the Onion' aa the t<eoplo of ftny American State.

CONTEMPT OF COURT. It was ono of the sources of pride to our old judiciary that Cases of rules for contempt of court were very rarely nec csiary in South Carolina for the protec tion of tho dignity or the character of our Circuit Judges, but si ace reconstruc tion our people have grown so familiar with this once ext raordinary remedy that we do not exaggerate when ?re say that it has fallen hit? ???repute, and ia itself viewed with contempt. We had boped that with the restoration cf our judiciary this proceeding would lapse into its an cient disuse, and no longer appear upon our Cour; dockets ns a tacit endoi s?ment of its frequent use by Judges like Car penter, who felt they were continually an object of universal contempt, and were const:' My anapping and snarling at every person they could imagine had otTured them any indignity, either actu.tl or constructive, but it seems from thc recent case of Mr. Harvey Terry, of the Columbia bar, that this hope is not to be fully realized, for a time at least. Mr. Terry hud a case before Judge Shaw in Columbia some time ago, in which he failed to succeed, on account of l&ich be published in the Charlotte Otterver an article criticizing tho Judge and at torneys, and reflecting apon tho action of each. For this publication he ?vas ruled for contempt, and the case heard by Judge Aldrich, who found Mr. Terry guilty of contempt, and fined him five hundred dollars. This reminds na strongly of the action of Judge Carpenter in ruling the editor of the True Southron for some publication about him, except thut, perhaps, Judge Carpenter had c moro reasonable case than tho one of which we speak. Mi Terry's offense was not m the presence oi the Court, and was not in disobedience of its orders, and therefore was not a contempt within tho decisions of oui State before the war. We comment upon this case, Bot because of any sym pathy on oar part for Mr. Terry, for we have none, and do not doubt that he hat acted very improperly, but there ia s principle underlying the case which is 01 too much importance to pass over. Il inyolves the very liberty of the pre -3, foi it establishes the precedent that if ac editor or a correspondent criticises a Cir cult Judge he can be arraigned upon 1 rale for contempt, and punished at th? pleasure of thc Judge bc hos oiTendcd so that if pat into full practice no mai will dare criticise the Judges, and the] will become a favored class, whose ace Cannot be held np in their true character ?nicas it ia good, through the presa fo public acrutiny. Such a result w-.vh provo fatal to the very existence of ou free institutions, aad crests in tbs judi clary an arbitrary tribunal, whose pro ceedingd cannot be mentioned except t praise. We do not believe auch a deci sion is good law, br that it 1B good policy The law has provided that for libellou publications the author and circu?alo can be punished, and thia should be ,h remedy for our Judgf 1 to pursue. 1 an article is not Libellons the Cour should be too dignified to notice th publication, and if it is libellous th remedy is ample, without-taking up thea novel and arbitrary measures which Re publicans bad the privilege of introdu cing into our judiciary. It is bad polio to encourage any ouch proceeding, be cause it is a blow at the independence 0 the press, without which liberty henel cannot live. It Ia to the advontago c society, of government and of mondit that the liberty of the press should nt be abridged, either aa to its editors nc its correspondents, except so far as it i controlled by tbe law of libel. Frc criticism, so long ra it does not amom to a crime, ought not to bo denied, an whenever it goes to the extent of s erinn aa libel, then it ought to be met by regular indictment. Zn the case of M Terry the publication was made in Nort Carolina, out of the jurisdiction of tl Circuit Court of Richland in this Stat and if it be an offense, it waa first cnn milted ia North Carolina, and only I the papers being mailed into thia Stat could there be the merest pretext even 1 jurisdiction, and if any crime has bee committed, an indictment and not a ru! is the remedy. A free State cannot pe mit tho decision made in thia case to b come a precedent, for if BO, although ot Courts as at present organised would n ib'jise the pc??er,^et it ??t<?j?t r?.iirn plague us greatly in the future. W hope the d?cision of tho Supreme Cou will strike down this move, the effe <)f which will bo to muzzle tho 1? ress, 1 for os Judges are concerned, and if tl Court does not do so, then the Legisl tore should change it as soon as poaslbl The press of the State has bean perfect quiet apon this case, bat we have felt tobe our duty as a journalist to prot? against what we deem a decision fraug with error, and possibly immense m chief In the future. ?.

THB MUHICtP?E ?LEOKOH. I Tbe elecUou for Intendant sud Wardens, of tbe town of Anderson < caine off, on ; last Monday, and, although it was conducted nuder the ?pedal feature of our charter, which allocs cumulative voting, tho entire Democratic ticket waa elected. The1 regis tration of electors stood-whites 174, and colored ?18 ; so that if the political parties hod divided on the race line, the Dem?crata end Republicans could each have elected two Wardens. The Democrats, however, pat in the field a full ticket tot DJ tendant and four Wardens, and the Republkans ran no Intendant and three Wardens. A rallying committee was appointed by the Democratic party, and by skillful and per sistent effort tho Republicans were utterly routed. The vote for the Democratic nom inees stood; FOB DrrtBDARY : O.

Williams.85 votes Moses Lee.74 " ' Moses Cherry.57 " Moses Terry... 1 " A larg' number of colored men voted the Democratic ticket in whole or In part, end the election shows what tho Democratic party con do by well organized and active effort, and we hope the HUCCJSS in the town election will afford a itimulua to tho De mocracy of the County to fodow In the . work of overwhelming Radicalism at the polls. The town Republicans are com pletely non poured at the result, and do not see Low they have been so badly beaten. They have as a party met their Waterloo, and cannot again be rallied. They will, we hope, begin to realize that if they wish to be on the winning side in politics, they will have to vote the Democratic ticket for State, County and Municipal officers. Rad icalism is dead, and can rise no moro while the Democrats remain united. The new Council will bo sworn in the latter part of thia or the finit of next week. SALUDA BAPTIST A880GIATI0E. The Saluda Association met with the Flat Rock Church, in this County, on last Thurs day, and continued in session until Saturday evening. The meeting was a very large and interesting one, all the churched, except one or two, being represented. The business was transacted expeditiously and with marked unanimity, considering the important meas ures adopted. From the report of the Treas urer of the Executive Board it appears that this Association raised a larger amount of money during the past year for benevolent objects than any?preceding year. The time of the meeting of this body was changed from Thursday to Tuesday before the second Lord's Day in August, which will hereafter do away with the Sabbath meetings. The Church at Flat Rock and citizens of the community deserve great credit for the ample provision made for the accommoda tion of tko delegates and -visitors, and the cordial reception with which they were greeted. The attendance daring the entire session was large, and on Sunday a very large congregation assembled. Tbs Mission ary Sermon was preached by Rev. A. W. Lamar at ll o'clock a. m., and the stand was occupied in the afternoon by Rev. J. 6. Murrey. The Association adjourned to meet next year with the Mt. Bethel Church. TSS SSS 5 HISTS' ASSIYSMAST.
