E. B. IrlUltKAY. Editor. "THURSDAY, FEBRUARY is, vus TBRMB t <>NEr?Alt.-?1.50. NIX MONTHS. Two Dollar? If not pidd In ndvaiicc. The returns from the Anderson dele gation upou the prohibition question ?re now all in, and after inure lliao one month the Information which the people wanted has beeu obtained. It may be briefly summarized by saying that Menura. Watson and Scudday favored the passage of tho bill permitting thc people to vede upon tbequestion in tbisCounty ; Messrs. Moore ?nd H?cker opposed the bil!, pre ferring to leave things as tlipy pre, rather than permit tbe majority of thc people to determine Ibe matter. Mr. Clink scales wanta to leave things as they are, but is very anxious to avoid the respon sibility of saying so. Messrs. Scudday and Watson represent the Democratic principle that this is a government of the people, for the people, and hy the people. Messrs. Moore and H?cker represent tbe aristocratic iden that the people are not capable of determining issues for themselves, hut that tiny must submit to the preferences of their Rep resentatives, by which tl y make thc will of the Representative tho governing principle instead of thc will of the peo ple. Mr. Clinkscalcs represents that class of politicians who admit tho right of tbe people to call for information as to how their Representatives stood on public questions, but practice ibo art of answering without stating their position. He may fairly be put down as opposed to tbe bill, though be docs not say so in so many words. We have accomplished our purpose, which was to present to the people of the County tho position of our Representatives, and having done this, it is a matter for the people themselves to determine by what methods they will proceed to enforce their wishes in this regard, if they are not satisfied to have their wishes ignored. LET US MOVE ON. In urging the submission of tba ques tion of prohibition or no prohibition to the voters of Anderson County this year, we thought tho whole controversy might be determined this Summer with out a jar in the political affairs of the .County-that the people themselves might settle the matter once for all, and that when we came to tho election next year, in our primaries there would bo no issue as to whether a man favored or opposed prohibition. That it would bo as completely settled as the Stock Law, or any other established law. Ry the failure of the bill to pass at the last session of the Legislature, it is assured that the question, unless averted by some mansgement, will go squarely into our next primary election. The large, intel ligent and influential clasB of our clti sens who favored prohibition are thor oughly satisfied that a majority of tho people of this County want prohibition, and as they cannot get the opportunity to vote upon the matter, they will un doubtedly run a full ticket from the Senate down in our next election to test the matter, if it can be settled in no other way. This, we think, ia to bs avoided, if possible. In order to do this we think it would be good policy to organize tho friends of prohibition throughout the County, and bold a Convention some time this Spring, and provide for an election after the crops are laid by. This election would have no authority of law, but we could appoint three citizens of high standing to conduct the election at each precinct, and let them keep and return a poll list showing the votes polled, and make affidavit as to the result, giving a clear showing as to the result. If we can secure a full attendance aUhis ole c t i on there would be no doubt as to the result, and a proper showing to the Legislature would secure tho enactment of the desir ed legislation. We would be glad for the citizens of the County to express them selves upon this spbject, In order that we may take counsel together as to the best policy to pursue at this time. Shall we more on or stand still f If we go on caa we secure a large turnout of our people to vote In au election which may be ordered f If so, then we think the question can' bo disposed of before tbe next County. canVass opens. CHARLESTON AND THE MOUNTAINS. The Newt and Courier, speaking edito rially of the effort to interest the citizens of Charleston In the Carolina, Chicago and Cumberland Gap Railroad, says : "At tho informal railroad conference which took place in Charleston on Thurs day, it waa declared that it was to the In terest of the City of Charleston that "earnest and immediate support shall be given the projected railroad from Aiken in the direction o( the mountains." The projected railroad in question ls the Car olina, Cumberland Oap and Chicago Railway, concerning which Con. Johnson Hagood, the president, gives the public some highly interesting and important information this morning. Aa projected, the Carolina, Cumber . land Gap and Chicago Railway will run from Aiken,. 8. C., to Lexington, Ky. The Carolina division, from Aiken to Fickecs Court House, ls 127. miles, of which 60 miles are graded, lt is estima .... ted that for a quarter of ? million dollars the Carolina division can be made ready for the rails. The rails will cost about ?. $400,000. To complete the road from Aiken to Abbeville will cost, it ls esti mated, about $382,000. 5?|iiPeo. Hagood explains very clearly the value and Importance of the section of Booth Carolina forming-the triangle of Which tho Greenville and Columbia Roil road and the Savannah River are the sides, and the Colombia and Augusta Railroad ibo base. This triangle con tains one-fifth Of the area of the State. It ls pierced by tho Augusta and Knox ville Railroad, which is now running to Greenwood aod to Laurens The whole of this northwestern triangle is at this time under the control of railroads winch, hy reason of their interests elsewhere, are hostile ?to Charleston. By building the Carolina division of the Carolina, Cumberland Gan and Chicago Rodway, or a part of ii, the railroad barr lora be tween Charleston abd 'he northwestern section of the Stat? w?i? he pierced. Charleston, wc are confident, takes a deep interest in tho project, and we feel juwiflpd in naying thai, upon a proper >?plauat?on of the value of the proposed scad, /?, conaidirabl? amount of tho obli gations of tho company eau be disposed ci in this Sute. Thc better pian. In Bur opinion? f* tb concentrate *fibrt*, In (ha Ct mt ploee. KA\ thc -iomplciicn of the i - rwul fais, A1i.efi.tb: ASb?v.?e. V; Thia will ] i give Edgefield Immediately the long fie nirod railroad coonee.ion willi Charles (on, and will add ut once to our im In- . Mile by milo, as thc locomotivo ad vanees towards Abbeville, the Irado will in* crease. We arc confident that the Ab beville division, UH it may be called-that is, the road from Aiken to Abbeville - can < am sullicient, under the least favor able circumstances, to pay tho interest on tho cost of finishing the line after it shall have been mudo ready for tho ties and rails. There is in Aiken, Edgefield and Ab? neville a strong disposition to contribute liberally to ibo completion of thc pro posed road. It is for the interest of the-e counties that it shall be done. Tin; opening of the road will cause the adja cent Innd* to nd vance rapidly in value, und the paving in the cost of transporta tion of produce nnd supplies must be considerable. Charleston ia quite ready, wo think, lo help Aiken, Edgefield : nd Abbeville, in helping itself; but lln-yo counties munt be ready lo help Charles ton, ?ti helping iheniHeivcs. il in proper to Hay that we haye no idea that Charleston would furnish the money for grading the road, but if tho cou n tien which the lino travornes eun make il reudy for tho superstructure, Charleston can complete it without delay. Wp pro Humo that there will be H meeting in Charleston, nt un curly day, to consider thc maller carefully, und to e,ive practi cal shape to the current feeling on the subject, Charleston will certainly do its part, if Aik< ..), Kdgeficld und Abbeville will do theirs." Charleston yet hus nn opportunity to achieve an independent railroad system, which eau he made to reach the base of the mountain;! before next Spring, hy judicious action on her part. The Ha vannah Valley Railroad will certainly ho graded beforo Fall from Anderdon to McCormucVs. The Carolina and Cum berland Oap Road is mostly graded from Edgefield to Aiken, and also from Smith's Store to Picket? C. H. If ar rangements could bo made to consolidate these two roads, it would only be neces sary to provide for grading from McCor mack's to Edgefield, and from Anderson to Smith's Store, distances of about 2G and 12 miles respectively. Tho first is, wo understand, heavy work, while the latter is quite easy. Branch roads could he cheaply constructed to Abbeville, and from Belton by Williamson to Smith's Store, which would give every point in terested in i the present line tho bent-fit of tho new road. This would bo better for Charleston than to build the original line, for it would shut off another road bclween their new road and tho Savannah River, and it would be a great deal cheap er 'han to finish the present lino. If sucti a combination could bo made, a comparatively small nmount of money would sccuro tho line from Picketts to Aiken, and with it equipped und running, wo have no doubt that in the courso of a few years tho necessary means could be obtained to construct tho road on through tho mountains to tho West. Tho Savannah Valley Road is nenriug completion, nnd will noon identify itself with somo independent and competing lino of road. If Charleston does not sccuro it, tho advantages of this road will pass forever out of her reach In this connection, however, we would say that Char' - .don, ifshe wunts to rolievo herself of tho present railroad troubles, will have to do more than simply take a deep interest in the proposed enterprises She will have to wake up and BIIOW some life and public spirit. Sho will have to put some money into tho enter prise. She can well afford to do so. A little city like Andorson has put $62,500 Into the Savannah Valley Railroad, and by it we are assured of railroad compo titioo. If Charleston wants the same advau tngcB she must do likewise, and put up tier money to help the enterprise on She may get charters until doomsday, .vith the expectation that other people ivill build railroads for her, and Micaw tier-like she will always bo found stand ing still, waiting fer something to turn jp, which will not tum up. Tho oiler to ake bonds, after other people grade rail .oad;], will not suffice to induce new roads :o go to Charleston.' lhere is no mu uality lu such an arrangement, for it is generally understood that the stock sub cribed ia a donation, whilo those who ake bouda expect to gtt their money lack with interest. It ls, therefore, un eaaonable to expect that the poorer immunities in tho Stab) should make (ouations to build a railroad to Charles on, whilo she, the riches! community in .he Slate, and the ono mo it to be bene ked by the new road, luanda still, and loee uotbiog but assume the bankers losltion-"I have mo.icy to lend. Give ne a good security, /There my principal ind interest is safe, and you can have orne of it." Cbarltetoo, in our judg neut, elanda very much in the way of tet own progress wbeu she f.dls to make to m mon cause with one of the projected ailrond ayatema of the State by aub cribing her proportionate abare of tho xpensos of the enterprise. So far ss Anderson is concerned, m ire safe. It is only a questiou of a year ir two uatil we will have soother rail oed, which will be operated for our In erest. The INTBLLIGENCER would like o tee Charleston and the mountains oDncctcd by a new railroad ayates?, and re bello ve lt ceo be done if Cbarlestou rill do ber part. It romains with Jhr.rleatoa to act or remain quiet, he acts promptly and vigorously great dvaatsge* are In her grasp. If she .mains quiet, ehe will see them pass by nlraproved, as others in the past have one. TBS EDUCATIONAL MIX. The Waihiogton correspondent of the ftyu and Co ur ?er says : "Representativo htrgsn, although opposed to the educa ona) bill, says he believes the time is arning when snch n bill will pass both louses of Congress and be signed by the resldont of tho United States. This nutt, he believes, ia unavoidable, and ? Is debating lo his own mind whether i continue his feeble opposition to a ettore which he believes to. be uncon ItotioDsl, or to allow it ta pass without fotest from hioi. He says he is opposed i the bill beean? he believes it tincon ItulSonal and unwise legislation, and o pee no reason why, under the general tffare clause? tho l?nlled States Govern ed should not undertake to feed buu y citixfns sa well s* <d u cat o ignorant ?opie. He claims that a mah without -d lo bli ttoxiaoh ts a more dangerous itzen than one without knowledge In stead. He ?ava it ia all besh to bilk out cdu:a:iog Ho dbegroei wah tub ; as tom ea they become ?alight n w a S V Bl vi u ft ct tl w la r? e: 7 b< ni ?I tb et hi wi le ot fo Ti bl re H wt Ul cv m wt tu Tl dc II re I .rel pr It an ?ju, wt |qu Idli wo in wo wo tbt for nei itv No 'tee cat pol vo< be or? . 1 I isla the tutti it i lt - \?h< I ISM? ded eiicd tlicy will turn round mid vote with tim Democratic party. All or nearly all of the educated colored people in the South have voted nod will continue tu vote the Kcpublicau ticket ??> long ns the latter party is in existence." This in probably not nu accurate pre entation of Col. Dirgan'* position, though we believe he is right in think ilig that the time is not far distant when un educational hill will pass Congress. The general welfare clause of the Coiisti* lotion has no meaning if it docs not cover huch u hill as the one now pending. The very fond which this State now en joys to help Hupport the State University, was given to us by Congres* under this clause of the Constitution, lt in, there* Tore, not without a precedent. We think tho (illusion to feeding hungry citizens is likewise not an argumentativo one, for when necessary, the government has the juwer to assist citizens whose extremities It-inn ml it, na Inn on one or more o?.ca lions been done for RUlfcrcrs from the ;reat Hoods upon the Mississippi and its ri bu tar ie?. The Blair bill is a measure vhich would he of practical advantage o our people, and it should by all means io adopted by Congres* ns soon as pos ible. Maj. Moore on Prohibition. To the CSlizens of Anderion County : As your Senator 1 have been asked hy he INTEI.LIOENCKII and Mr. "Prep," wo of my constituents, to give to the .uldic a statement of my position on the dil to submit to the people ot the County hu (mention of Liccuso or no License in lie City of Anderson, and my views on hat subject. In answer I have to say : First. That I fully recognizo tho right if citizons to petition for whatever they nay think promotive of the general nod, and when so petitioning, their re? nest should bo carefully considered hy heir Repr?sentatives. Second. In regard to tb . particular lill referred to, I have tc day that I had iut little to do with it. I was not en rusted by petitioners with their petition, nd knew nothing of it till lalo in the cssion-too late, in fact, to legislate in efcrence to it, owing to thc crowded con Inion of the calendars of both Houses t was, as I remember, on the 19th duy of december that I was first spoken to in cgard to the bill, Mr. Scudday asking ne to iutroduce it in tho Senate. I ai j mee agreed to clo so, ami took the bil! nnd letition for thnt purpose, reserving the Igbt to vote for or against tho bill when ! had examined it; but just then reinem- J icring that the Senate had passed u rei* ? dution prohibiting Senators from intro? lucing bills for tho remainder of thc ses* ( ion, I BO informed Mr. Scudday, but , driller told him that standing commit cea could introduce bills under the res notion ; thnt mich a bill would be re ( erred to the Judiciary Committee of the Senate ; thnt I was a member of that Committee, und that I would ask the ? nembers thereof us a sp?cial favor to nyself lo consider the bill to grant the ^ nembers of the House a bearing on it, j nd if they thought fit, to report it to the c ienate for consideration. Soon after t his interview the Committeo met, and I I ucceeded in having the bill considered r y them beforo taking up the regular ? usin?es. The members of the HouBe J rere at once notified of this action of the fl Committee, and requested to appear und lake such statements as they might r dsh. Messrs. Watson nnd Kucker did (, ppear before the Committee. Messrs. cudday and Cliukscales did not. When {. /atson and H?cker had made their c atements aud retired, I was asked my ? lews on the bill. I thanked tho Com- Q dttce for the consideration of the bi'l, Q ir the hearing of the members, and n mlinued by sayiug, you know my posi- j( on on this subjeot; that I think it un- Q iso to interfere with tho local option Q av-that nogond could, in my judgment, 8j ?ult from it-that no disturbing causes Q tisted in my County, and had not since h G-that I feared that our unity would ai 3 hazarded by such a law-that I knew rthiogof the petition, having had no ?pcrtu?ity of examining it, but knew tat good men of my County were inter* ted in the matter of the petition, and id no doubt they had signed it-that g hile I, as an individual, thought- the c gislation asked for unwise, I had no ei ijection to the sanding op of the bill <I r the consideration of the Senate. ai be Committee, refused to send up the ci ll for these reasons, if I remember cor* tl ctly, 1. Because same bill pending In the J ouse. 2. Bill could not be passed for " mt of time. 3. Printing of bill . for 9 ie of the Sennte would, under tho cir* Ii imstances, be a useless expenditure of onoy. These reasons, or some of them, ire endorsed upon the bill, and it rc- g med to tho memhera of the House, qj lis. is a complete statement of my A lings io regard to the bit! in question. Bl Third. As to my views on tho subject, cr bave to say zo man entertains greater vi ?peet for the cause of temperance than v< do. It is the cause of morality and llgion, but I doubt the expediency and t[ opriety of the legislation asked for. ht would introduce the canse'of temper* T ce into polities, and, In my humble lg me nt would divide the white people to are agreed upon, ail other political ?i estions; and in that event it- is not wi Beult to perceive that the colored men *. u ld ii old the balance of power-that ?? tho zeal of contending parties be nhl be courted by both, and that he ag uki ultimately have the decision of j^1 ? question. If the legislation asked ^ would divide the County in tb* man- eq r indicated, why would ft not extend ?? elf to every other County in the State t [t ?withstanding the respect I have for ]t> npcrance and those interested in the iee, I think it is destined to become a fen litical question if the policy of ita ad* (jr, ?tea is carried out, and I believe will fr? $reductive of results not anticipated j?. Mired by the friends of tho cause. . 00 3 i JOHN B.- Mooni:. rec .- m -? ? ho Che Abbeville r>w and Banner, says i JJ t see mn to us as if tho Anderson Leg- ,P ittv? delegation feel indignant because ir constituents *Ant tb know of their C(1 lon on the temperance question. If i the tight cf the people to petition, an seems that lt is their right to know r their petition was disregarded. * tseems to us that tho Prcis and ?an- { ?tlC is exactly lc vol-head cd in both of ita actions io this par-graph. -A thief *ithc>ttV iegs and having! v ono arm has been sentenced to < no I M. ill bard labor in the Illinois peuittn* jin ? Mn. EuiTort: I being one of tho one ! thousand who signed tho petition neut from tiiiri County to our Representative*, in regard to holding au election upon the question of license or no license, and also one of their constituents, beg a little space to add only a lew words to what has already been faid with reference to the action ol our Representatives, and the disposition thev ?-?w proper to make of it. It ivas certainly as reasonable a request as i:ny people cou hi have made of their -Representatives, or of any body of ni vu. Simply asking tho privilege of bidding an election lo Kellie or determine a local question. Even if each ol our f..ur Representatives had doubted thc expedi ency or propriety <>f the bill, it was certainly their duty lu have granted the petition ; and then when the election had been called, and they having an opportunity lo vote, could with perfect consistency have voled against it. The question was not as to whether they favored prohibit inn or not. it was whether or not they would carry out the wishes and petitions of their constituents. If an equal number of petitioners had instructed them not lo favor hitch H hill, then they would have had sufficient grounds for their actions. But we have beard of no such p?tition, and they ate, therefore, left without any reasonable excuse for the course they have seen proper to pursue ; and I think their actions justly deserves the severest criti cism ut tbs hands of their constituents, (n refering to our Representatives, how livtr, as a body or as a whole, we are nec sjsarily compelled to be personal, in arder to exhonerate from censure those tvhom we think have given satisfactory tccount of their stewardship. I am inclined to think that the two who first recognized tho right of tho people to Jemand of them an account have given i satisfactory explanation ; while that of .ho other two bas uot been satisfactory. Jue of them bas never clearly and positively stated his position, nor offered mything approximating a satisfactory reason for his action. Iiis unsuccessful iltempts to dodge the question, thorough ly confirms tho iden tho people entertain id of bis views, viz: that be wus not tn favor of the bill. Perhaps he rery carefully calculated the cost >f getting thu bill through and of hold ing uu election, and decided he would improve the opportunity of teaching th? people ot Anderson County lessons ul Honomy. In his speech in the Court House in November last, he stated hi reason for nt.cr having introduced s jill-that it coat too much ; nud it ap jears thut the strictest ecouomv ha; sharacterized his actions this . ion, liso. During his absence from dome ind ever aiuce his return, he hus beet rery economical in dealing out to hit :oustiluctila tho information they desiree if him. As for thc other bo simply tuted how he stood in the "matter,' vilhout assigning any mson for tin 'faith that was in him." I suppose bi lought that for tho people to simply ;uow bis views ou any subject was ?.lilli lient. While we very cheerfully conced? o bim tho right to think as hi ?leases, we do not concede to him thi ight to act as he chooses whilo ho is : ervant of tho people. Perhaps be bai l<*cided that he is a citizen of Georgin ny way ; be at least seemed to be ven such interested in the prohibition move ?lent in Elbert Couuty, judging from hi ouversation on the streets of Elbert loa alesday. When South Carolina needet tte services of every white man alu ould get to help redeem ber from Rad ;alism, be was a citizen o leorgia ; but as soon as he coasiderei er safe, and saw au opportunity ti oprctcnt Anderson County in the Legis tture, bo was a citizen of South Caroli a, Wbeu th? lime rolls round to chooa ur Representatives again, and ht nould happen to be left out, Soutl larolina may have to relinquisl er claimB, and consent for him to clair gain his citizenship in Georgia. JUBILO. rohibiticn Campaign in Elbert Couu ty? Georgia? MR. EDITOR : Elbert County io Geoi la greeta Andersen County in Soul! arolina, at a time wheo both are consid ring and apprr .bing a vote on tb tiestion of prohibition. We in Georgi re indebted for valuable help in ou tmpaigo to old Carolina, from the fae tat Hon. H. G. Scudday, of Andersoi as with us on Tuesday last, with abonl er to the wheel, working for the anccet f this grand cause. On Tuesday, the Srd instant, tho Com [ouse in Elberton was crowded with trge number of the best citizens of tb ?wo and County, in mass meeting ai ?mliicd in behalf of prohibitioi peeches were made by the above eic nent Carolinian and by Rev. Dr. Ivy, i thens, Ga., both of whom struck stron id heavy blows for their side, elicitin ithuftiastic applause. The audience wi irried to a ca*!>. as everybody preset jtcd in favor of prohibition-no oe tiing against it. The outlook for the success o? lb ovement in this County is Sue. It ?ought the majority lor prohibition wi ? between two and three hu mir? bis is a question that ought to be sei ed by the suffrage of the people, fe ben settled that way, then there is v, ?peal. It is the will of the neonlt, ag s abide by the will of the majority. ] hlskey was legislated out by the Geue Assembly, there would be room fi mplaint ; but if the people by popoli dint vote it out then it ia settled. We have beard the objection that tl itntion of this question makes a spl the ranks of the solid Democr/.c ich is not the testimony in. our State e old Democracy of Georgia sun? uara, and is not harmed by such s lue. Such an objection to probibitio a mere GU bu r uge- no logic or sense I We return thanks to our sister 8tsl d County for valuable aid in tba at sss of Mr. Scudday, who won mau ends while here. There was anotht ipivMotative of your Stu to in our mid the 3rd instant ; hut we are sorry t ?rd that while the first named was tl ttored orator of the day on a g rei ira! question, the other could ba mun on our streets argning against prohib ?n-aiding with the saloons. Wo trust that when thia issue is decii that old Elbert can extend her broa rm hand aer?os the rippling 8avanna d greet old Andersen with a hean Ap-and thoa, more closely united b common victory, the bond becom lissoluble.
