WhUo tho pre ponderance of opinion U in favor of the negative ?do of tho question, there are a few who contend with great zeal and carn for tho affirmative. Now that the discussion on that question is subsiding we would like to suggest the following for thc consideration of the deb?tanla : Two men, A and li, who are no kin, each get married, and in course of time their wives each bare a daughter. Thc wives then die, and alter tho lapse of several years A mar ries B s daughter, and B marries A's daugh ter, and after a time each of the wives baro a son. What kin are the boys ? In January last we published a notice from the Worthy Master of thc Poi .ona (?range of this county stating that ?for the purpose of exciting friendly competition, and ascertaining thc capacity o. our lands, a prominent member of our Order has of fered a premium to each sub-Grangc in tho county for the largest yield of oats on ono acre of land. Also, an extra premium for tho largest yield in tho county, made by a member of our Order. It is required that the crop must not fall below 50 bushels, and each member competing must make a written report to his Grange of tho quality of land, the kind and quantity of fertilizers used, cud tho variety of oats sowed, &c." The crop is now being threshed, and there ought to bo a general competition among the members of all thc Granges for tho prizes offered. We woUd bc pleased to publish the name of thc successful com petitor in each Grango. Tho Commencement Exercliea jj tho Fe. malo Seminary. The second year of the Anderson Pemalt Seminary formally closed on lust Thursday and on Friday evening the Commencement exercises were held in tho Seminary build ing, i ad were attended by a large audience tho building not being large enough to ac commodate near all thc assemblage. Th? decorations were most elaborate ar.-i beau tiful, thc wreaths, crosses and fest jons o various kinds, wrought of evergreens nm flowers, being tastefully arranged and pre senting an attractive appearance. After several spirited pieces of music bj thc Palmetto Band, thc exercises wen opened at 8i o'clock with prayer by Rev Dr. Frierson. The young ladies of th Seminary then entertained tho nudiena with excellent music, both vocal and in strumental ; and thc proficiency displayei by all gave ample evidence of the thorough ness of their training ;n this great and im portant art. At intervals during the evening Genera Ayer, the President of tho Seminary, an nounccd to the audience the results of th examinations in a large number of th classes, In some instances giving the ques tions submitted in the examinations ; am thc very large number who attained a de grce of proficiency in their classes to b entitled to honorable mention furnisher gratifying evidence to the patrons of th institution that thc course of instruction i thorough, and that the pupils had mad reasonable progress during the year. At the close of the exercises, Gen. Aye made a few remarks on thc importance c female education, and dismissed the andi encc. The attendance upon the Seminary dui lng the session just closed has been ver flattering. It has upon its roll the nanu of over a hundred pupils, and thc able un honored President has received every cv dence that the patrons of thc institutio are entirely pleased with thc mod if ii struction pursued by thc Faculty. Tl Seminary supplies a want long felt in 01 community, and we sincerely hope it mc continue to increase in popularity with 01 people with the lapse of each year. The Sandy Springs Meeting. A lnrgo end enthusiastic mooting of tl Doinocratic Club at Sandj' Springs wi held on last Saturday afternoon. Tl lirst speakor of tho occasion was Col. j W. Simpson, ."bo expressed his pleasu at meeting tho people of Anderson com ty, and having an opportunity ofaddres ing them at the oponing of another cai paign. Ho spoke ably of tho great issi that is now beforo tho people of Sou Carolina, and described it as ono invol ing tho peaco, happiness and prospori of our people-all thut is worth havii or battling for in government. It is t boon which wits won in tho grand stru gie of 1876. Ho said that ho wished t poople of Anderson county could kne and appreciate tho benefits of that viel ry rut ho did. For tho lost eight yea with thc exception of two years, ho h represented this county in tho Genoi Assembly of the Stato, and liad for t first two years of his scrvieo sat in Houso composed of four-fifth negro presided ovor by a negro Speaker black as tho aco of spades, with a net' Clerk, and in fact all of ita officers i groes. Whou bo first went thero his I dignation nt tho degradation, thc corm tion, the insoleneo and tho infamy tl surrounded him was so great that ho ? not feel that ho could possibly stay the and nothing but duty compelled bis tendance during his torin. Ho hoped I people had not forgotten tho days of " that ho had passed through a sceno would nover forget when tho Democni Houso had gone into the Hall of tho Ii resontatives and woro confronted by tl rabble Houso of negroes, backed by 1 gro State troops above, and United Sta soldiers below. It was necessary fo white Representative to h-vo a pass ontor tho Houso, and finally after a c* test of threo days for supremacy it v plannod by tho Republicans lo kill Democratic members of tho Houso t and this contest. That tho execution this plot had only been a vor ted by Gi jrnor Hampton stating to the authoril in control that if it occurred overy ne m South Carolina would be killed bef .honoxtsunBet. That tho rodempt jf South Carolina had only boon eflec ay the exorciso of tho greatest Judgm ind prudence. Ho did not dcslro to ino white people split up now, for sue sondltlon of things would inevitably l ;o a restoration of RopnblicanUm v ill of its horrors. In somo scctloni he State, lawless negroos had been jlted by Ropublican leadors to bum ?roporty of thoir white neighbors, i ?mmit othor fearful crimes. Notli itands hetweon us and a return to sondltlon of affairs excopt the Holiditj bo wbito people of South Carolina ho Democratic party. Ho was not ] jarod to endorso all that tho Domocr 3arty had dono, for thero wero vari natters that ho had seriously oppo jut bo thought it of the greatest inte ?> tho State that tho Domocrats ?hi lold tho State. It wns an houoat and moctablo party, that thc people cj .rust for tho protection of tho right di men. Ho thou rev lowed tho reg'u ion and election law. Sahl that ho itudled this bill moro thoroughly I ?ny matter that had ovor como bc :he legislature, and that ho was tlioroi lysatisftod that its passage was tho thing that could havo boon done foi 3tate. D guarantees a fair election, protects our people against malle prosecutions In tho United Slates Co it also ?Ives to tho colored map tho i I to voto with ors without disclosing the fact to hi'? colored bretbron. It puta a stop to tho eyBteiu of spior.d oagle tick ets, tissue ballot?, or tho coupon plau that bas boen BO popular with the Repub licans. Tho law will, in bis opinion, bo tho political salvation of South Carolina. Ho warned tho people against new par ties, as leading into tho Republican par ty, as is shown by the votes of tho Green backers and Readjuster* In Congress who havo Just voted to scat E. W. M. Mackey, ono of the most notorious and corrupt of tho Republican politicians of this Statu. At tho conclusion of Col. Simpson's I speech, Mr. Eskcw, the President, stated that Mr. W. W. Russell, a member of the Greenback party, who bad announced a desire to inert thc Democratic leader? in j this county, had been Invited and would j noxt address the meeting. : Mr. Russell 6poke for one hour and ten minutes, and said in substance: That bc hesitated to enter into a debate with two lawyers-trained speakers-while ho was but a plain countryman, but that bo would express his views without fear of any mun or act of men. The time allotted to him one hour-was not enough ; it would take him three hours to do the subject justice. He w&a not herc as a politician ; ho carno as a humanitarian-a true Democrat of thc Jeffersonian order. The new Greenback party is the real Democratic party, and thc old Democratic party has leR Democratic princip"...*. This party favore . white su. prcinacy, though it was just to the negrc and would accord to bim all ot his rights They intend to rubi by the white voters ol the State, but he deprecated the policy ol the Democratic party, which was kcepinjj up the race issue in the South. It is th* politicians ke : ing the country in turmoi in order to rob tho farmers, who pay 80 pei cent, of thc taxes of thc country. It is th* Democrats in the South who hold up tin bloody shirt, and we cannot wonder tba the Republicans of the North take it up 01 their side. Thos who fought in the lah war are asking the politicians to step asidi and let tho farmers, who should govern thi: country, shake bands and give peace to tin nation. He said: "I have some plain ques tions to ask, and if you will answer then satisnctorily (turning towards Mr. Murray I will quit thc Greenback party and com back to the Democracy." Mr. Murray-"Well, sir, will you piel out your committee to hear and decide ber and now whether the answers aro satisfac tory, and we will settle it on your owi basis?" Mr. Russell said he might he?enfter ogre to such an arrangement, but not now. H did not like to be interrupted, but intende to speak his sentiments though the heaven fall. He then launched out into a tirad upon ex-Governor Tilden, Vanderbilt an others, who hold large sums of Unite States bonds, upon which they pay n taxes, and which originally sold for 4 cents on the dollar, but are now to be pal in gold at par. The poor farmers are taxe two cents on each box of matches to pa the interest due these men who are rollin in luxury on the interest of their monej without paving any tax to the governmcn He complained ol thc banking system an of the new lease of power given to tl banks. He then entere?' into State politics, an objected to comparisons with the Radie governments. Negro government cou] never conir again in South Carolina. TI negroes themselves do not want it. I denied that the Greenback party was i alliance with the ltepublican party, or th: they voted solidly with the Republicans Congress in thc Mackey matter. Mr. Murray asked bow the Greenbackc from the South voted. He replied to seat Mackey, and said 1 believed in his soul, before High Heave that Mackey was as much entitled to 1 scat as 1). Wyatt Aiken was to bis, ai that candor compelled him to say so. 1 then charged the Democracy with a failu to fulfil its pledges, but could not speci in what the failure consisted. He nc charged the party with creating a gr* many new offices that are burdensome the people. Mr. Murray asked bim name thc offices he thought should i have been created, and be replied that would do so at another time but not nc He then went on to charge that tho Den eratic party in South Carolina is run by 1 Republican party of the North. Ho s that the railroads In this State are owi by J. Gould and other Northern Repu? cans, and officered by Democrats. Tl these men control thc Legislature in i interest of the railroads, and in that way thc interest of the Republican party, charged that the Legislators were in enced by giving them free passes over railroads, and said they all bad then a ing Mr. Murray if it were not true. 1 Murray replied that it was not. Mr. E sell then sahl that bc knew some nieuil of thc Legislature- who bad them, : when urged by Mr. Murray to tell who, admitted that Mr. Murray was thc o member that be knew bad one. He i said that the registration law was passe* the instance of a Republican, and w asked what Republican, replied Mr. Evt and in reply to still another question fi Mr. Murray as to bis authority for that sertion, said he beard it as coming f Col. Simpson. This brought up Mr. Si son who denied having made such a si nient, but who had said that be bad 1 told Mr. Evarts bad asked why our pe did not poss laws under which thc elect could bc legitimately carried. Mr. Russell thereupon said be bad beard Simpson say that Arthur bad sent tho islaturc word to peta the law. Thia Simpson emphatically denied. He next pitched into the Newt and Co and all of the State papers for not not) the Greenback party, and particularly Anderson INTKLLIOEKCKB for not noti the fact that a Club had been form* Peak's Station. Mr. Murray-"I did not know that l was a Club formed." Mr. Russell-"It was published in papers." Mr. Murray-"What papers 1" Mr. Russell-"The Reform Signal." Mr. Murray-"! do not consider paper good authority." Mr. Russell-"it is good authority.' Mr. Murray-"That ls a mero dille; of opinion." He then abused tho Democracy fo promoting tho originators of thc stra out movement, and said the ring ur moniously sat down on both Senator < ton and Mr. Murray when their fr bad suggested them for promotion, concluded by again assailing the Reg tion law as being undemocratic, in th sought to make a minority of 40,00 tho majority. At the close bo opened and showed a picture representing th parties as passing away, and thc Qreci party as an angel of peace coming do run the government. E. B. Murray, Esq., was next intro and spoke for ono hour, replying tr Russell, and showing thc inconsiatenc his position and tho inevitable rcs his movement. He said that be di come to raiso nor keep alive thc race That hod been and was now kept adventurere from abroad and at bom* the question to-day waa whether the people of South Carolina would their liberty and manhood by remi united so a- to retain the government, or whether they would divide among them selves and thereby surrender South Caroli na once more to the alien front without, and the ignorant and viscious from within. Ho had not, however, as tho speaker who preceded him bad done, conic here to ?ell tho colored man that be was thc political equal of tho white man, for be did not be lieve that ho was, ?r ever would be, until he had prepared hi:o3elf by education and experience to govern. It had required cen turies of training to tho Caucasian race to evolve tho grand principles of our govern ment, and it could not be expected that thc negro was now prepared to exercise the powers of government. Hound tho Demo I eratic party intended to give bini equal right? and protection before thc law, but It . was for the interest of ull classes that the white man should rule this country. He also accused Mr. Russell of trying to raise I a class issue to array the farmers aguinst all the other elements of society, and char acterized it ns demagogical. He said that Cod in creating man bad foreseen that bu ll?an usp I liiess could best be served by dif ferent avocations in life, and that men had been qualilicd by nature for their several pursuits, and that true men and bad men would alike be found in all thc walks of life, but that th? poojilo of South Carolina -the wbito people-were one in purpose, one in interest and one in destiny, and tbut the niaii who would raiseclass antagonisms sought to disturb the peace and prosperity of all. He said that tho Greenback party is eith er the willing or tho accidental ally of thc Republicans, and did not wonder that they did not want the rascalities of Republican ism e^posod, for be apprehended the wbito people of South Carolina would never con sent to a return directly nor indirectly to the dark days of Radicalism. Ho could well appreciate the feeling which prompted a native white man who is trying to split the Democracy of this State, which made him object to lifting thc veil of the past, which is beginning to make some people forget the horrors of Radicalism, but be could not spare those feelings on thia occa sion. We can only judge the future by the past, and therefore as wiso men before changing for tho future, wo should read tho lessons of thc past. Ho then presented an elaborate comparison of Republicanism and Democracy, and showed that the Re publicans in Chamberlain's last year col lected 8 8-10 mills to run the very'same de partments of the government that we now collect about 1 11-20 mills to run, or $8.80 against $1.55. Rut as they contend cotton was higher then, and tiixes relatively lower I have the ligures. The ref ult was that it took 734 pounds of cotton under Chamber lain to do what 14 1-i poun?s do now. These calculations were based on $100,000 worth of property. He stated that be had an editor's pass over some of the railroads in the State in exchange for advertising for those roads, and that it bad no connection with legislation, as bc bad them for sever al years before be was in the Legislature. In his four years of service there, he bad introduced and secured thc passage of laws requiring railroads to furnish consignees an itemized' statement of freight charges, to settle according to their bills of lading, to keep rooms for the accommodation ol passengers at all ticket stationl?, to post tho time of passenger trains at telegniph stations, when moro than half an hour be hind, requiring thc Attorney General tc act as counsel for the Railroad Commission er in enforcing tho railroad laws, and an Act to facilitate the completion of tho J'.ut Ridgo road. Ho bad advocated also thc reduction of passenger fares to three conti a mile, but bad not been able to secure it? Eossagc. He said tho new party bad no1 cen properly named. Tho word bad ought to have been loft off, so as to mak< it thc Green party, for bo thought it wa thc greenest movement ever startet! in thii State. He severely criticised Mr. Russel for denouncing the Democracy for crcatini new ofliccs when he could not tell wbicl one.'' should be abolished. Mr. Mathias Richardson-"Why don' you ask bim what makes bim go abou over tho country slinking hands will tho negroes in such a friendly manne now, when ho Jid not do uo beforo?" Mr. Murray-"I did not know that li is doing it " Mr. Itu.?sell-"When did I do such thing?" Mr. Richardson-"I saw you do it l Jasper Williams' sale, and bavo board c lt since." Mr. Murray continued by denying tin tho Republicans wanted tho present elci tion law passed. They did want a regh tr.ition law, but not this kind of a regh tration. Thoy got moro than they ba gained for, and ovary Republican an ovory Independent in both Houses vote against the present law. Ho then e? plained thc origin, objecta and details" i the present law. Ho concluded, as h timo was about out, by tolling tho poop that tho question now waa not ono i men. It is one of principle. If any ma or mon bavo dono wrong, turn them oi and put now mon in, but do not destre tho party which gives protection to lil honor and property In South Carolin Mr. Rtissoll complained that Ibo speak and Senator Clayton had not boen pro orly treated by tho Democratic party, b Mr. Murrey said that bo thought os loi as he and Senator Craytou did not con plain, that it was not necessary for M Russell to make a fuss ab>mt it. Ho coi pared Mr. Russoll to tue twolftb jur who complained that tho other olovi were so hard-headed that they would n agree to bis verdict, and said that t! rlg"it way for Mr. Russell and nls par to do, if they really cxpocied to win 1 white votes, waa t? stay in tho Dem eratic party and control through its t ganizntion. Ho contendod that thoy e pected to win by tho aid of a solid neg voto added to a few white votes, ai warned tho white people against div lons, which would oertAlnly bring dib tor to them and tboir children aftor thc Tho Democracy at Sandy Springs moro vigorous than over, and lt may ?ut down for tho regular majority tl 'all.
