Foul chimneys came near causing several serious fires in Anderson last week. Chim? neys that ore constantly used should be burnt out at least once a month. A little seven year old daughter of Mr. M. A. Snipes, of Varennes township, re? ceived a vary serious and painful barn on last Friday while assisting ber mother about washing. Rev. E. R.

The colored people of Anderson have re? cently organized a society which they call "The Good Samaritans," the object of which is to afford mutual aid to its members in time of sickness and distress. About ono hundred and twenty-five or fifty have joined it. The faithfulness of our very efficient cor? respondent at Townville is greatly appreci? ated by us, and wo take this occasion to thank him for his many interesting contri? butions to our columns in the past, and to assure him that similar favors in tho future will be as highly appreciated. There was an unusually largo crowd in town on Monday last. Aside from a lew sales of real ?t?te by the Shei^f and the unusual activity in tho guano aStfi, noth? ing of special interest occurred. Of course, the bone-yard was full, and the usual amount of trading carried on. The number of bales of cotton brought to this market during the month of February amounts to 787 against 431 for the samo month last year. This swells the aggregate amount sold here during this season to tho respectable figure of 12,607 bales against 8,*43 for the same time last season. The theatrical company have appointed Friday evening, 14 th inst, as the ti me for pre? senting the drama "School of Reform" to the public.

Her re? mains were interred in the Roberts Church cemetery on the day following her death. Gen. J. H. Morett, formerly a resident of Anderson, but now living near Holly Springs, Miss., wrote to Mr. S. Bleckley begging the people of this County to help him with money to make a crop with this year, he having lately been sold out of house and home, where he lives. Mr. S.

The Court of Common Pleas adjourned on last Saturday, after transacting all of the business ready to be disposed of at the term.

"The National and Typical Dances of the World," traces tho history of dancing from an early period, and illustrates the characteristic dances of the different races. The department of fic? tion is peculiarly rich. Mr. Benedict's ad? mirable serial, "Norman Dcsborough'a Son," is continued, and there are a great many short stories by Etta W. Pierce, M. T. Caldor, Annie Thomas, and other popu? lar wri .er?. There are tales of adventures of thrilling interest; "Hippopotamus Hunt? ing" and "My First Lion Hunt" are partic? ularly notable.

The mis? cellaneous department abounds with enter? taining and instructive reading, embracing a vast variety of subjects. In every respect this number of the Popular Monthly is cal? culated to maintain the well-deserved repu? tation of this periodical, which for merit, comprehensiveness and cheapness, is proba? bly unrivaled.

Persons afflicted with rheumatism often suffer for a life time, their tortures being al? most without remission. Tho joints and muscles of such unfortunates are in most cases shockingly contorted and drawn out of shape. To afford them even temporary relief, the ordi.iary remedies often provo utterly useless. Hostettcr's Stomach Bit? ters, on the other hand, is avouched by per? sons who have used it, to be a genuine source of relief. It keeps the blood cool by promoting a regular habit of body, and re? moves from it impurities which, in the opinion of all rational pathologists, origi? nate this agonizing complaint and its kin? dred malady, tho gout.

The report of the Teller committee, made to the Senate to-day, reviews the testimony of the ninety-one witnesses in Louisiana and the one hundred and seven in South Carolina. It states that the frauds in South Carolina by the use of tissue ballots extended to every county in that State but one, and that between thirty and forty murders were committed in Louisiana. The committee, in drawing conclu? sions, says: There appears to be a wide? spread determination in these States to restrict the freedom of speech as to po? litical questions upon the claim that the discussion of the relations of labot to capital, employers to employees, and other kindred subjects, is calculated to array the colored people against the whites, and thus endanger the safety of the people. This determination is not authorized by State enactments, but the Democrats who attend political meetings, not only of their own party, but also of the opposition, are in the habit of re? fusing to allow the speakers to discuss these questions in their various forms. Any reference to the condition of the colored people before the war, and the causes that led to the war, are condemned as being of an incendiary character. All the attacks which have been made on the colored people have been attempted to be justified on the ground that they have made threats against the whites. However false and destitute of founda? tion these reports may have been, they have been made the excuse of the most unheard of atrocities against these peo? ple. As this pretended fear of negro in? surrection is made the excuse for out? rages on the colored people, it may not be amiss to say that the Democratic wit? nesses, when interrogated on that point, all agreed that the negro was peaceful and unrovengeful, and that notwithstand? ing all reports of the uprising of this class of people to murder and outrage the whites, there was no instance in American history within their knowledge when this had been done, and all admit? ted that it would require great provoca? tions to induce the colored people to re? sort to violence against the whites. No prosecutions have beeu instituted by the State of South Carolina against the vio? lators of her laws, and no efforts were made to punish the men who have thus wantonly outraged its citizens, and when the United States Courts have been re? sorted to for the purpose of punishing the outrages on the ballot, the complain? ant has in very many instances been ar? rested clearly in violation of law by the State authorities on charges of perjury, and committed to jail unless he gave bail. Citizens are threatened that if they at? tempt to punish offenders in United States Court*, the witnesses will be pun? ished in the State Courts, aud thus the State not only declines to punish these criminals, but refuses to allow it to be done in the United States. The State government is a white government, no colored men are represented in it, and so far no man connected with it has had the honesty, courage or humanity to at? tempt to redress the outrages on these unfortunate men of color. The laws of South Carolina and Louisiana are un? doubtedly sufficient for the protection of all their citizens, but there has been a lamentable failure to enforce them. This course must in the end be the de? struction of the governments of these States. The committee say that it was not pos? sible within the time they had been in session to investigate the elections held iu all the Congressional districts in Lou? isiana and South Carolina, but sufficient testimony was taken to show that in sev? eral districts in these States not only the elaction for Congressmen, but the elec? tion for State and county officers as well, were neither fair nor free, and that by violence and fraud the housst expression of the will of those entitled to vote was prevented, and thousands of the citizens of these States deprived of the elective franchise. In Louisiana both violence and fraud were extensively used. In South Carolina fraud was more largely relied upon. In both States these agen? cies, so disreputable in themselves and so dangerous to the stability of a Repub? lican form of government, were used not only against candidates of the Republi? can party but against Independent Dem? ocratic candidates, and candidates by whatever name known who were in op? position to the regular Democratic can? didates. The minority have not yet prepared their report. HYMENEAL.. Married, at the residoncc of the brides' father, Mr. Thomas Harper, on Thursday evening, 27th of February, 1879, by Rev. H. N.
