Anderson ?rf always .?low to take hold of public enterprises and yet our citizens ure enterprising and successful business men,who bave steadily improved ourcity, und are daily adding lo it? growth and prosperity. Anderson has never devel oped in any line until there was necessity for it, mid as n consequence, while our growth has been marked, it baa been sub Htaidi.il and permanent. In the main this has been a good principle for tho citizens of the place to ?id upon, but in two or three instances we have lost heavi ly hy not entering the speculative arena, and investing for tho future growth of our city. This was markedly so in tho failure to secure thc Air Line, and pos nibly in the 1'uiliirc to purchase the Blue Ridge Railroad. These arc, however, matters of tho past, but lhere is n pending enterprise in which Anderson lins embarked that ought to bc carefully and promptly con sidered. That enterprise ia tho comple tion of the Savannah Valley Railroad. It is a necessity for our section, and with proper management could havo been completed ere this. Hut tho past mis takes aro no reason for the abandonment of thc work. It is reasonably certain that no further mistakes will bc made, and it is equally certain thal great ad vantages will result to all pointa elong tho line from building the road. To Anderson the road is a necessity. With Greenville and Abbevillo both in close connection with thc Georgia Central, wo cannot afford to do without this road. The INTELLIGENCER is in favor of giving every facility for building Ibo Savannah Valley, and thinks Anderson cnn afford to do her full pnrt, provided tho other points ulong tho lino will do tho same KO ns to securo the completion of the road. If they will not do HO, then wo favor building from Anderson by Abbeville to Verdery, on tho Augusta ec Knoxville Road. Hy making Anderson's subscription to this line instead of tho Savannah Valley, and securing a like subscription from Abbeville, wo could, with aid from tho Townships along this line, easily grade thc rond from Anderson to Verdery, a distance of only thirty seven miles. Anderson must get an outlet at once, and if tho people along tho lino of tho Savannah Vulley do not desire tho road enough to help them, wo ought to look out for new all i c.s. Thc Savannah Valley is our preference, but tho line by Abbe villo will answer us equally as well. Therefore, we shall endeavor to Hocuro leg islation that will give Anderson nu op portunity to subscribe to either road. We must build to tho Augusta & Knox ville Railroad in self-defense, nnd will have to tnke thc route where tho most help is ofTercd. As will be seen from the'opinion of our business men pub lished elsewhere, tho people want tho Savannah Valley, and if the points along the line will subscribo as they should, wo will have tho mud at an early day. ANTICIPATING DEFEAT. A Washington dispatch of tho lGth inst, say? : An evening paper publishes to-day a statement that there, is now on file in the department of juBtico a report tho con tents of which havo never been made public. This report ia to the effect that it is impodsibie to convict any ono of an election onunce io South Carolina. Men, women and children are against it. No jury could be found that would con vict. It is net forth that the W?VCB and sweethearts of whito men drawn for jury duty say to their husbands and lovers before they go to the Court, "You need not come back to me unless you do your duty." This means that, "unless you give a verdict for acquittal you cnn de part." This report was tn ado by n spe cial ngent of tho department of justice, and is endorsed by the United States district attorney. This report ?8 maliciously partisan and false. If the United States will give persons charged with any crime a fair trial in South Carolina, there will be no difficulty in convicting, where guilt is established; but when the Courts are prostituted for partisan ends, and men are placed on trial with packed juries, and with evidence against them that is palpably perjured, no man with self respect who may happen to be on such a jury can agree to convict. The punish ment of crime is commendable and de sirable, but every citizen must hold tho integrity of trials in our Courts of more value than even the punishment of crime ; so that we believe it is a moral duty which any honest man upon a jury, which Is known to be drawn to secure convictions, owet to the great aims of justice and morality to refuse to agree to a verdict of guilty, even if he would, on a f dr trial, consent lo such a verdict Such methods of trial should be abso lutely condemned. Prosecuting officors should be taught that they cannot secure convictions by partisan juries. Politics shonld never get into Court, and there is no more solemn duty resting upon the citizen than to assert the principles of justice by preventing ? conviction before such a jury. The sense of justice in all honest men revolts nt such a procedure ai the District Attorney bas attempted Ia Sooth Carolina, and as long as be pur ! saes sucti a course he will fail to convict, if a single honest man is placed on the jury. It is not a question only of guilt or innocence, but the greatest question is Bhall our Courts be used for partisan purposes to convict men on perjured evidence with packed juries?. : In every case that thia issue it presented a man who agrees to a verdict of guilty sane* tiona it, and becomes an object to be de? spisa ' and contemned by all honest men. If tho government wants fair trials, let thom begin by drawing fair juries. If tho government v?ill do this, public in terest in these trials will cease, and they will bp treated as all other eases. Tint as long aa the juries are expressly. or ganized ito convict, our people owe lt to good government and to the great prin ciple of liberty involved in a fair and impartial trial to prevent convictions. BUILDING ici 11,KOA ns. Tho subjoined letter from .Mr. Albert J.. Rico to Governor Thompson lias been sent us by the author for publication : NKW YORK.NOV. 1.1883. (?ovnisNoit 11 cori S. TIIOJII-KON-?liar \Sir: I respectfully call your attention to ix matter bavin;' refereneo to tho material welfare of your State. You will Ugrco with nm that tho building ol' moro Unite lino? of railroads through your Statt? would ho of great benefit to tho people. I will, tboreforo, inform yon that I rop- ? resent .several Construction Companies, ! ' who are prepared to build railroads, mid ! do not. want any money lill sections of I iwonty-livo milos are built. 1 would desire Companies to placo ? their bonds them sol vus, i<> he casliud as cai h twenty-five miles aro com plo tesl. Y on i?, respectfully, AI.IIKKT 1,. RICI:. We have not the pleasure of Mr. (lice's acquaintance, and bis letter docs not go HUllicicnlly into details to enable j us to tell whether the companies be rep resents propose operating upon a basis available for our proposed lines of rail road in this State, but we take pleasure in publishing tho letter, that our railroad projectors may communicate with .Mr. Rice. We should be pleased to have the conditions under which Mr. Rice's com panies work, and then we could form some idea as to the opportunity for our South Carolina Scheines to be advanced by them. Mr. Carlisle, the leading revenue re form candidato fur Speaker of the House of Representatives, entertains conserva tive, ami wc think, correct views upun tho propriety of tarilf legislation by thc coming Congress, if his expression that he is opposed to tariff legislation by the next House simply for the purpose of agitation uicana what the words imply. Tho INTELLIGENCER some months ago took thc ground that tarilf agitation hy the present Congress ii; not desirable, for it can only result in agitation without accomplishing any good to the people. The Republican Senate and ihc Repub lican President stand in the way of any revenue reform at present. Attempted legislation by the House, therefore, would only be a foolish waste of time, and afTord a very dangerous opportunity for the display of Democratic gas and pyro technic oratory. It could do no good, uud might do immense harm. It is not improbable that the Democratic reverses in the.Northern elections resulted from the looso talk and bragging of Democratic politicians on thc tari fl'. Theso States are predominantly commercial and man ufacturing, and thc change of tarin laws affect both interests directly. Heneo whenever changes aro to bo made, they wish to understand what is proposed. Tho iutcrests involved in commerce would not, we presume, bo hostile to judicious tariff legislation, and tboreforo would not bo offended if assured of in telligent and proper revision, but it can not afford to risk an ill-advised tamper ing with our commercial relations sim ply for thc sake of political agitation. Tho country at large cares little for pol itics. It is business which controls it, and the business men of America will ho found voting with that political party which shows the best understanding of tho business relations of our government uud tho highest regard for their promo tion. If tho Democrat* expect to elect the next President, or any subsequent President, they must show that they are worthy of the confidence of tho business interests of tho government, and that they will not through ignorance or party ambition net no'as to injure those inter ests when they como into power. Thia they can do by thoroughly investigating the expenses of thc government this year, and showing what reductions cnn and ought to bo made, and then declaring for a reduction of the tariff according to theso necessities of the government. This will be a practical, busincsa-liko way of going at revenue reform which tho country will ujndsrstftcd, ?nd thc bus: ness men will not bo afraid of. They would rather bear the iniquities of the prient tari tl' than risk any ill-advised tampering with it. This is what the re cent elcctiona mean, and Mr. Carlisle's recent utterances are quito timely. It has been feated that ho was an extre mist on the tariff, aud many who deairo tariff reform have been a little afraid of him. Upon the platform indicated in his published views, his election will promote the interests of the Democratic party. Mr. Randall's election will injure the party, for he is opposed to tariff re form, and could not be depended upon to push the investigations necessary to ob tain the information needed for the in telligent reduction of the tariff. Ma. EDITOR : In your issuo of the 8th of November you say that I took you to task about tho ?statement you had mftde with reference to tho comparative drunk enness in our City during the wet and dry ticket. I deaire to correct the error. My connection with the matter was en tirely accidental, After your first edito rial, alleging that thero waa more drunkenness in Andersou during the dry ticket than there has been during the wet, I passed through .he the INTELM QEHCER ofGco on official business, and waB questioned by Mr. J. F. Clinkscales as to tho correctness of tho editorial, and waa asked hy him for a statemonl from the Mayor's Docket, in order to.correct the mistake. This ?internent I gave him, without any request to publish lt. So if you were taken to task it was uot by mo. Whilst, as an individual, J feet a deep ??toiesi iu the morals of the City, yet I do not wish to appear to the public as taking up the cudgel against thc private business of any one in my official capac ity, so long as the laws of our City aro not viol a ted.

Lamar, of Mississippi, has real estate worth about $20,000, and, if he were able lo attend to il, would have the best law practice in tile State. AT it is, he Las ail he cares to attend to, which brings him about $8,000 a year. Senator Oeoigc has made his moderato fortune hy thc law ami planting, and in this way lias accumulated $-10,000. Harris, of Tennessee, is worth $00,000. Ilia fortune is mainly in real estate in Memphis which yields him a handsome income. Senator Jackson is u rich man for his section. His fortune is estimated al $100,Ono. Besides his income from real estate ho has a valuable law practice, worth about $lo,000. Jones, of Florida, has a com for table residence in Pensacola besides oilier real estate worth $40,000, and a legal bu-i uons which is good for $0,000 annually. Brown, of Georgia, is one of the* rich est men South of Mason and Dixon's linc. It is impossible ti; say what he is worth, but those most likely to know put hid fortune al $0,000,000, which i- in creasing every yeur. Gibson, of Louisiana, is thc second in ibo matter nf wealth of the Southern Senators. Ilia property, estimated at a low valuation, would aggregate $1,500* OHO.

A Washington dispatch gives thc lb lowing iu regard to tho Speakership: Thc Speakership contest is growiu warm, oven nt this distance from th meeting of Congress. Two of the mo prominent candidates Carlisle and Co: are on the ground and although neilin of them bas yet formally establish* himself in headquarters tho friends i both are gathering about them and ge ting in readiness for activo work. Rai dall baa not yet arrived, but is expectc to reach this city early next week. Ii is already represented hero by nu mc roi friends. A steady stream of visitors poured i upou Carlisle and Cox Thursday. Mat members elect of tho coming Congre called to pay their respects to tho cand dates and to discuss tho situation. A Associated Press reporter called on Ca lisle Thursday evening, and, dircctii that gentleman's attention to thc inte view published in tho morning pnpei asked him what bc thought of tho lattei statement?. "Mr. Randall," replied Carlisle * much more confident than the facts wa rant. I do not see how it is possible f bim to rcceivo more than sixty votes < the first ballot, and I do not believe ! will get that many. Tho most caref estimates mado by my friends do n givo bim near that many, although th allow bim a considerable number doubtful votes." With respect to the estimates mado 1 his friends, the accuracy of which Ra dall disputed the interview publish this morning, Carlislo said : "Of coui I all of their estimates may be very ina curate, but they are mado upon what considered reliable information, and a certainly aa likoly to be correct aa ai put forth by the friends of the otb candidates. I notice that Randall stat that the vote for Cox will be mere complimentary, and that after the fi. ballot ho (Randall) will re?oive lar accessions from that quarter. For r own part I have no reason to belie that the friends of Cox are less since in their support of bim than tho frien of other candidates are. But if C should be dropped or withdrawn befe the nomination is mado, I feel qu sure that the majority of his support? Would not go to Randall." Mr. Carlisle waa asked whether, view of the recent statements concern? hui position with respect to tariff legis tion during the coming session of (Ck gross, he had anything to say on tl subject. He expressed an unwilling^ to say anything for tho reason that 1 views 'vitii regard to the revision of t tariff wero well known. He would si however, that he did not believe in t agitation of that question for the sake agitation. The reporter asked M- Carlisle there waa any truth in the reports tl his friends were seeking to secure a vi yoee vote in the caucus. Mr. Carlisle replied that he did i know that any efforts were making bring about a change in tba method voting. . Ho bad bean) some talk nbc that sort of voting being the proper tbi for a Democratic caucus.

Cl.EVKI.ANI>, ()., November 10.-Thc address of thc National League for thc Suppression of Polygamy, adopted last night, hays: "Now is thc lime (or action. The honor of the nation is in danger. The total disregard ol the law of the I.uni is bringing us into disgrace utnong the people, h vcr since Joe .Smith es tablished the Mormon Church, the fun damental doctrines of which are poly gamy and pr .lligaey, lhere has retted upon the nation a stain which bas been a disgrace lo ns and to the civilized world. Thc Mormon Church has flour ished. The world cries out against stich progress, and in the name of humanity, nome and common decency demands a huit in the rapid strides of lechery and lawbreaking. Aa yet Congress has taken but little interest in thc matter for .-onie r< ?ison best known to the members there- ? of, and as a consequence it remains for thu people al large to throttle thc evil in thc best manner possible and rid thc j country ot' a curse, which their represen tatives, in Congress have failed to recog nize.

A great deal of! money ?viii lie spent, and if there is not | a popular uprising against the obnoxious teaching-, and practices of the Mormons Congress will again no doubt refuse to recognize the evil and nothing will bo dornt to eradicate it. lu view ol' this the National League for the Suppression of Polygamy, of ('levi land, urgently re quest that petitions be circulated in every eily, town and school district in thc United States n-kirig Congress to submit to the Legislatures of ibo various Stales un amendment lo the Consti I tution prohibiting polygamy.

II.

Mr. Dedendorf charges that Malionc wanted the country to believe that the so-called riot nt Danville was the cause of his de feat, and that the white people of Vir ginia had inaugurated a bloody crusade against tho blacks. "No baser slander was ever uttered against any people," says Mr. Dezcudorf. "It was a peaceful and fair election. Tho Danvillo riot was the legitimate outgrowth of Mahotio's methods and the natural result of the inflammatory speech made by his man Sims the night before the disturbance." Mr. Dezendof adds that if tho Republi can party must bc fed on such a diet, it had belter die while it has any reputa tion loft.
