The arrangements for lbs Democratic ?lass Meeting ou Friday are already nearing completion, and a great day is anticipated by the people nt ?be County. Senator Hampton, Lieutenant Governor Sheppard, State Treasurer R:~ trdson, Congressman Aiken, Electors L?ry*n and Benet, Col. George Johnstone, Solicitor Orr and State Superintendant ol Educa tion Coward, are to address the meeting. We are informed that Senator Hamp ton will certainly be pr?tent, and wo ari? satisfied tbnt this announcement will bring an immense crowd to the meeting. An elaborate stand and an abundance of comfortable seats for .cc audieuce have been prepared at tbe Blue Ridge Rail road yard, under a cool shade of oaks, so that everything possible will be done lo prepare for giving the public a pleasant day. Tbe business bouses of every de scription in Anderson *.= :!! ciesc at eleven o'clock, and remain closed until tbe speaking is over, so tbnt persons wishing to sell cotton or buy goods, had better get in early in the morning so as to get through by eleven o'clock. The music of the occasion will be furnished by the Young America Cornet Band, and the speaking will begin at fifteen minutes past eleven. We trust that every man, woman and cbild in tbe County who can ?K-is?bly ?o f 3 ??ti be prenant. The Blkine managers are genuinely frightened at their prospects in Novem ber, and have prevailed upon their nom inee to visit the principal cities of the West, taking in New York and other pointa enroule. This Is expected to re* vive the drooping Republican canvass, but it Is certainly very encouraging to the Democrats to find that the West, which baa heretofore been so solidly Re publican that no attention was necessary, has become so doubtful as to require tbe personal presence of the nominee for President. Mr. Blaine may go West, but the German element will not forget that he occupies, as oear aa possible, both sidss of the prohibit;.-;- question. They will not vote the Republican ticket, and it ia probablo that tbe Dem?crata will gain the electoral vote of several States which have heretofore been strong ly Republican._ Tho new series of Blaine-Fiaher let tara, which we publish on our first page, were given to the public recently for the first time, and are, as the New York Times aptly puts it, convincing proof that Mr. Blaine ia not a fit person, to be Pres ident of the United States, if anything short of horse-stealing can be considered convincing proof. They show that Mr. Blaine used his official position aa Speak er of the National House of Repr?senta tives corruptly to advance hi? own per sonal interests. It Is impossible to con ceive that these letters were written in the ordinary- course of any legitimate transaction. They convict Mr. Blaine of treachery to his friends io Maine, and . show that bo wanted Fichar to certify a falsehood to protect bim from the chargea pending against him. The whole correa pondence is discreditable to him, and shows that-he was not only "casting sn anchor to windward" in hie own be half, but that he waa using hia official position to accomplish it. The Hopubli. can party, proper, is not likely to leave Mr. Blaine on account of thia correspon dence, for lt likes corrupt leaders; bot there are thousands of men of business integrity who are independent enough to refuse io follow their party far enough to voto' for;a roan who is notoriously corrupt. We do not believe that Mr. Blaine will ever be President. Mr. Blaine's ?talement of bia secret marriage - and subsequent remarriage ia lacking lo that convincing logic-con formity to tbs natural action bf men and in the abwoco of any reason for the unusual state of facts &hloh he- now al* leges existed, bis pathetic tale must cre ate surprise, if it .does not carry great doubt to tho pub!Jo mind, ?io gives no name of the Minister who performed the marriage ceremony, nor of any witnesses to the marriage lo this letter j but In hts sworn answer to the question? propound ed tn tb? libel suif, he aaV? the w" ' were Sarah C. Stanwood and S. L. Blaine, evidently bia own brother and bia wife'a sister. In bis answtr bc give? the name of no Minister, thoa attempt ing to prove this most important fact by members of the family, nod not even giviog tbe name of the Clergyman. In j his answer a? to the last ceremony, he says j the witnew?ea were John V. Lenioyne j and David Bell, witnesses who were not interested parties. Thus he make* the first marriage, which is the most import J ant one fur him to establish beyond a ! doubt, depend upon family testimony. Tili?, however, is not the weake-t point in Mr. Blaine's defense. If bc bad married Miss Stauwood in 1850 secretly at Millersburg because he expected to go to i'ennsylvaniH and be absent for an in definite time, as he says, when he re turned to Millersburg why did be live in the same place willi her until 1851 before ! acknowledging the marriage ? if thero I was rpason to keep the marriage secret i while he was necessarily absent, what was the reason to do so when be returned to the same village with her. Il was not natural for him to have acted thus, and his plea ?trikes us as both lame and in credible. Mr. Blaine certainly will not have any sympathy, so far as be is con cerned. It was cruel and unmanly in any newspaper to have attacked Mr. j Hlaine in a manner to humiliate and j mortify Mrs. Blaine personally. She I will doubles? have unlimited sympathy \ and charity extended to her in all ihe developments of this celebrated case, but lu any view that may be taken of it, Mr. Blaine can only be censured. His own version makes his conduct before the last marriage decidedly crooked and un certain. BLAINE'S DEFENCE. Iiis li?ji lunation of tb? Charge* Mail? Against Ulm. NEW YOBK, September VJ.-Hon. Wm. Walker Phelps, takes the responsi bility of giving to the public, thc follow ing private letter addressed to him near ly two weeks seo : AlUtUeTA, September 6, 188!. -My dear Mr. Phelps: I have your favor of the -llb, advising me that "the continu ous invention and wide circulation of evil reporis render it advisable (in your judgment ) not to wait the slow process of the law, bul to speak directly to the pub lie iu my owa vindication." In this opinion many others on why*e judgment 1 rely concur. I shrink instinctively from the suggestion, though I feel sure I cuuld strengthen the confidence of all who fell friendly to me by bringing to view the simple thread of truth which is concealed in this endless tissue of false hood. You can imagine how inexpressi bly painful it must be to discuss one's domestic lite in the pres?, although I think with you that under the circum 'itauces I could count upon the generosity of the public lo justify the statement which otherwise might seem objectiona ble. I eau in any event safely commit facts to you for pernonnl communication to tho 'o friends who have taken so deli cate nod HO considerate an interest iu my affairs. The leisure hou? of lo day, when our campaign ia ended and wo wait only for the election, gives me the oppor tunity for this prompt reply and the fol lowing essential details : At Georgetown, Ky., in the spring of 1818, wheo I was but eighteen years of age. I Brat met the lady who for more thau thirty-four years has been my wife. Our acquaintance resulted at the end of six months in an engagement which, without the prospect of speedy marriage, wo naturally scught to keep to ourselves. Two years later, in the spring of 1850, when I was maturing plana to leave my profession in Kentucky ?nd *atabli?h my?e!f elsewhere, I wa? .uddrrt.y summoned to Pennsylvania by the death of my father. It being very doubtful if I could return to Kentucky, I was threatened with an indefinite sep aration from ber who possessed my entire devotion. My one wish was to aecure her to myself by an indissoluble tie against every possible contingency in life, and on the thirtieth day of June, 1850, just prior to my departure from Keutucky, wo were, in the presence of chosen and trusted friends, united by what I knew was, in my native State of Pennsylvania, a perfectly legal form of marriage. On reaching borne I found that my family, and especially my bereaved molher, atrongly discountenanced my business plans, os involving too long a separation from home and kindred. I complied with her wish that I should resume, at least for a time, my occupation in Ken tucky, where I returned in the latter part of August. During the ensuing winter, induced by misgivings uuder new respon sibilities, misgivings which were increas ed by legal consultations, I became alarmed lest doubt might be thrown upon the validity of our marriage hy reason of the noa compliance with the laws of the State where it had occurred, for I bad learned that the iawa of Kentucky made i license certified by the clerk of tho county court an Indispensable requiaite of legal marriage. After much deliber ation and with aoanxiousdesiro to guard io the most effectual manner against any possible embarrassment resulting from eur position, for which I alone was re sponsible, we decided that the simplest and at the same time surest way was to ? repair to Pennsylvania and have another I marriage sernlce. performed. This was I done in the presence of witnesses in the city of Pittsburg in the month of March, 1851, but waa not otherwise made public for obvious reasons. It was solemnized only to secure an indisputable validity, the first marriage being by my wife and myself always held sacred. At the ma ture ago of 04,1 do not defend the wis dom or prudence of the secret marriage suggested by the ardor and inexperience of youth, but ita honor and iu parity were inviolate aa I believe io the sight of God and cannot be made to appear other wise by the wicked devices ot men. It brought to me a com pun iou ah ip which hos been roy chief happiness from boyhood's years to this year, and has crowned me with whatever success I have attained in life. My eldeet child, a son, waa hero in his grandmother's house on the 18th day of. June, 1851, in the city of Angosta, Maine, and died in ber arms three years later. His ashes repose in the cemetery of,his native city, beneath a stone which recorded bis name and the limit of bl? innocent life. That atoue, which had stood for almost an entire generation, has been recently defaced hy brutal snd sacriligeous hands. Aa a candidato for the Presidency, I knew that I should, encounter many forms of calumny and personal defama tion, bnt I confesa that I did not expect to be called apon to defend tbe name of tte beloved end honored wife, who Ia a mother and grand-mother, nor did I ex pect that the arare of my little child would be cruelly desecrated. Against auch grosa forma of wrong the law givea no adobaste redress, and I know that io the end my most effective appeal against tho unspeakable outrages which X resist, must be to the noble manhood and noble womanhood of America.

Bran ley dc B.irowell, Broad street. A com pany wan organized under the title of "The Mason Colton Gin Cylinder Com pany," and the following directors were chosen : Mesar*, C. T. Mason, Jr., of Sumter; John lt. London and W. L. Roddey, of Kock Hill; J. K. Blackman, James 8. Murdoch, F. Vf. Dawson and IJ. S. Riordan, of Charleston. .Subse quently Mr. 13. li. Riordan was chosen president of the company, and Mr. J. K. Blackman secretary and treasurer. A contract hm been made with Messrs. Pratt & Whitney, of Hartford, Conn., for the construction ot a machine speci ally designed for the rapid manufacture, by automatic action, of the perforated metallic plate? which are to form the working surface of the cylinders. Thia machine is expected to be ready in a few weeks. Meantime tho company will j proceed to establish, in every County of j the Colton Belt, agencies having the ex clusive privilege of placing the Mason cylinders io old gins, the saws and ribs of which are worn ou' ordamaged. The agents will not have the right to manu facture the cylinders, bul they will be the only source through which the plan ter? of their respective Counties can gel cylinders for use in old gins. Theagents will purchase their cylinders either from the company direct or from t?>.y of the gin manufacturers licensed by the com pany to make the gins upon a royally. The prices al which county agencies w ill t s sold are to be based upon the average .. meal yield of cotton in each County. The gin mauufscturcr* licen-ed by the company will, of course, have the righi to sell new gins in any markets. The company wilt make every ctforl to placd the cylinder gin on the market with as lillie delay as possible, and they are con fident that long before the close of the cotton season the M a .-on Cylinder Colton Gin will be found in every section of the Cotton Belt. Patents lor the cylinder gin have bren applied for in every foreign country where cotton is grown or cotton machinery made, and experienced gin nen predict thal the cylinder will every where supersede thc use of ibo danger ous and unsatisfactory saw gins within the next year or two. - AV tr* timi (our ?rr. That Mysterious Marriage. INMA.NAI'I'OI.IS, IND., September20. In the Blaine libel suit in tin- District Court this afternoon Blaine'? attorneys filed the following answers to the inter rogatories propounded by the NentintFt attorneys on the 5ih of September : I, James G. Blaine, of Augusta, Me., on oath, depose and say in answer to the foregoing interrogatories : 1st. Harriet li. Stanwood. 2d. Georgetown, Ky , in the spring of 1848. 3d. I lived in Kentucky as assistant professor or tutor in the Western Military institute from January, 1848, to Decem ber, 1851. lu 1848 and 1849 the institute was at Georgetown ; in 1850 at Blue Lick, and in 1851 at Dunen, now Spring?. .Uh.

I finally lett Kentucky in the lat ter part ot December, 1851, and went to New Orleans on business, and thence direct to Augusta, Maine, which place I reached February 9lb, 1852, and was next employed aa principal teacher in a Pennsylvania institution for thc ?struc tion of the blind in Philadelphia. (jib. My wife left Kentucky in March, 1851, accompanied by myself aa far os Pittsburg, l'a., and thence travelled alone to New York, where she waa met by ber brother. Jacob Stanwood, and under h:<s protection proceded to her mother's residence in Augusta, Me., where I- ??.o^t met her on February 9, 1862. 7th, 8th and Otb. I waa married in Millersburg, Ky., ou the 30ib of June, 1850 in the presence of Sarah C. Stan wood ?ad S. L. Blaine. Thc marriage wes secret. Having doubts subsequently of its validity under the laws of Ken tucky, which tben stringently required a license from the clerk of the County Court, I bad the marriage solemnized a second time ia Pittsburg, Pa., on the 29th of Marcb, 1851, in the presence of John V. Lemoyne and David Bel). 10th and 11th. Jacob Stanwood wa? the eldest brother of my wife. I had no acquaintance with bim at the time of my 1 marriage ; bad never seen bim nor beard from him in any way directly or indirect ly before my mai ringo. I met bim for the first time in February, 1852. I had two letters from him after my marriage and before I met him and one warmly welcoming me os a member of bia fami ly, and the other inquiring if be could promote my business interests by the loan of money. I had no other correspon dence of any kind with him until after I had personally met him in February, 1852. My ?sifa had taro oibor brotkere, neither of whom I had ever met when I came Yo New England in February, 1852 ; nor did I ever meet any male reta lives of my wife before my* arrival in New England in February, 1852. 12th, 13th and 14th. My fir.it child, A son, waa born in tbe house of his grand mother on 18th June, 1851. His name waa Stanwood Blaine. He lived with bis parents in 1852-58 and part of 1854, iii Philadelphia. He died on Juiy 31,1854. and was buried in the Stanwood lamil" lot in Forest Grove Cemetery, August!., Maine. 15tb, 16th and 17th. A monument was placed by my direction over his grave the year after bis death thoa in scribed : "Stanwood Blaine, soo of James G. and Harriet 8. Blaiue, borne June 18,1851, died July 31, 1854." I have not myself seen the stone since the first week io July, but have re oto o to believe and do bel ?eve that since that date many letters and figures thereon have been defaced, and that figure 1 and year 1851 have been entirely removed. I nave no means of ascertaining by whom this waa done, but I have reason to be lieve and do believe that a photograph was taken ol the defaced stone by toe proc?reme nt of one of the publishers of | the New Age, a Democratic paper pub? Hobed in this city, and that copies of said photograph were sent to divers aod sundry persons, including the publisher of the Indianapolis Saltine!, the defen dant in this suit, 19th, 20tb, 21at and 22d. 1 know of the book referred to as 'The Life of James G.

The annual meeting of the Hoard of Directors of the Presbyterian Theologi cal Seminary, which has bien in progress io this city for two days and nights, ad journed yesterday. Hon. James Hemp bill of Cheater, President of the Hoard, was detained at home by aickneas, and Judge T. H. Fraser was President pro tern. Rev. J. H. Mack, D. IX. Secretary t of the Hoard, was present. Eleven of the thirteen Directors were in attendance. A report was submitted showing the bright prospects under which the Semi nary bad opened on Monday, the 15tb instant. Twenty nine students are unw in attendance and the number it is bc lieved will be iucreased tn forty by the 1st of October. Professor J. H. Ra*bill, of Illinois, has been engaged as a teacher of elocu tion, and bis course of instruction will be commenced on the 1st of October. The Directors had an exhaustive dis cussion of the recent address of Profes sor James Woodrow on "Evolution," which has attracted so much atteution throughout the length aud breadth of the land, and the discussion of which consumes a large portion of nearly every Presbyterian publication in the United States, and esp*' ially in the States whose Synods control the Seminary. A paper was introduced btroogly com mending Dr. Woodrow and endorsing nearly all the positions taken by him in the address on evolution. For this a substitute waa offered which enjoined upon Dr. Woodrow to cease ? teaching in the Seminary the views that ! evolution is God'a plan of creation nod that the body of Adam was probably I evloved from a beast. This substitute was voted down. The following substitute waa then in troduced, and was adopted by a vote of 8 to 3 : Thc Hoard having carefully considered the address of Dr. Woodrow, published in pursuance of thc request of thia Hoard, adopts the following : 1st. JtetoheJ, That the Hoard does hereby tender to i*r. Woodrow ita than!:.-, for the ability and faithfulness with which he has complied with its request. 2d. That ia thc judgment of this Hoard the relations subsisting between the teachings of Scripture and the teach ings of natural science are plainly, cor rectly und satisfactorily set forth in Haid address. 3d. That the Hoard is not prepared to concur in the view expressed by Dr. Woodrow ns to the probable method of i he creation of Adam's body-yet in the judgment of the Board there is nothing in tue doctrine of evolution, as defined i nd limited by him, which appears in consistent with perfect soundness in the faitb. 4th. That the Hoard takes this urea si ?D to record its deep and ever growing si nse of the wisdom of our Synods in the establishment of the chair of "the Perkins profr^oorsuip of oat??s! science In connection with revelation," and of the importance of such instruction as is thereby afforded, that our ministry may bo the bettet prepared to resist the ob jections of infidel scientists and defend the Scriptures against their insidious charges. The minority then eutered their pro teat against the action of the Boara in refusing to enjoin on Professor Woodrow not to teach that evolution is God's plan of creation and that the body of Adam was probably evolved from tbe lower animals. The reasons given in the pro test are : 1. Evolution is an unproved hypothe sis, and tbe Seminary is not the place for such teachings. 2. Belief in evolution changes the in terpretation of many passages of Scrip tore from that now received by the church. 8. Tbe view that the body of Adam waa evolved from lower animals, and not formed bj a supernatural act of God, is dangerous and hurtful. 4. The theory that Adam's body was formed by the natural law of evolution, while Eve's waa created by a supernatu ral act of God, is contrary to our con fession of faitb as that confession of faitb baa been and is interpreted by our church. 6. Tbe advocacy of views which have received neither the endorsement of tho Board nor that of the Synods having control of tbe Seminary ; which have not been established by science : which have no authority from tbe Word of God ; whioh tend to unsettle the received interpretation of many passages of Scrip ture and to destroy the confidence of tho church in ber doctrinal standards ; which have already produced so mach evil, and wbicb will injure the Seminary and may rend our church, ought not to he a*iov>ed. This matter will be carried before the four Synods controlling the Seminary .nd be adjudicated by them. These aro tie Synods of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida.
