HAVANNAH VALLEY KAILIIOAU.
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.

\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.

- There are six barrooms and als

- The Abbeville Medium says : "If
the large .outturn of cotton is not soon
decreased materially there will be a moat
terrible crash among the Southern mer
chants and farmers, and the latter will be
caught without bread to give their wives
and children. Just suppose that .our
merchants would abut down on . the
credit system, what would the farmers
do? Thero would be suffering indeed.
They h?ve scarcely any meat, very few
oats, no barley, precious little corn, very
little wheat, and some of them buta slim
credit. These are necessities and they
can raise them at home, yet they will
not do ao." . . . . .

An Interview with Carlisle.
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. For bia o
part, ho said, be was not afraid to ai
mit bis chances to a viva voce vote

An Anti-Hormon Crusade.
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. An immense lobby of Mormon
elders ha- signified its intention to bc tit
Washington this winter for the purpose j
? ol' d< ftating bi I Is introduced for thc reg* j
uhition of polygamy. 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. This
would be an important step, if nccoin
I plished it will prevent tho institution
from being recognized by any of thc
jirc-ent States, or in Territories that may
become States hereafter."
- Ex Congressman Dezcudorf has
written a letter to ex Governor 1). II.
Chamberlain in which he declares he
has rendered tho best service to his party
by defeating Malionc ; that thc Keadjus
ters formed the most corrupt combina
tion thal ever existed in any Stale; that
it existed only by fraud, misrepresenta
tion, disregard of law, partisan interpre
tation of thc statutes, and bribery and
corruption in legislativo balls. 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. Malionc was the victim of too
much Malionc.
