Vabdiyer and J. L. Orr, from this Ctouuty. During this term Col. Simpson wasJaTrciq^ contributor to the columns of the iNTEtLiQENCER, and our readers doqbtleas ^recall hb interesting articles about tho legislation of that period. In 1876 he took an active and prominent part in the memorable struggle that cast off: Radicalism - from our government He, with Messrs H. R. Vandiver, J. L. Orr and W. C. Brown, were elected to represent this County in the famous Leg* islature of that revolutionary period. He was one of the chosen Committee, of which Col. Orr was Chairman, appointed by the Wallace Houbo to lead in the movement, to enter the State House by force. This Committee wen: ahead and forced the doors of the House of Rep? resentatives from their hinges and bad an entrance cleared and ready, for entrance when the House;arrived. The task was a dangerous one, and was performed in ?^a4cuix^ljlermanuer. When the Wal? lace House was organize^^oKSimpson twas placed on the Ways amf~~Means Committee, and upon the election of Gov. J. C. Sheppard, who was Chairman of the Committee as Speaker, Col. Simp? son was elected Chairman of this impor? tant Committee, over the distinguished [ veteran, the late Hon. C. G. Memminger, of Charleston. At the same time he was Chairman of the Committee on Rules, and was on two other important Com* mittees. When Col. Simpson became Chairman of the. Committee on Ways and Means, the finances of the State were in a deplorably bad condition, and the Sta te was on the verge of bankruptcy.7 Bnt standing upon the principles of hon? esty and economy, he and nil Committee, by a conscientious regard for the rights of all, find a fearless determination to do right originated and carried to success the settlement of the State debt, and by it saved our. people millions of dollars. Col. Simpson and his Committee were importuned and begged in every way toi make a more lavish f.ppropriation of the people's money, bu'., without success.^ Without any reports from the various departments of the State government, they drew.the Appropriation bill, which Organizer! , the government under 'H^ptoct-s -adm In all of ^^impbrtant legislation of that event? ful reriod, he took ao attentive interest end a. leading part. The success of Co'V Simpson's administration of the Chairmanship assigned him, is evidenced by; the'atabilUy of the settlement which was then made as to the State's finances. Ai a recognition of bis aervicesj he was iwrnpinted by Gov. Hampton Chief of ^Swy Stofi^ with tbe rank of Colonel of cavalry, and was personally very highly esteemod and bis counsels valued by the Governor. In 1880 he was again elected to- the House by a large majority, h*ad iuj; the ticket in the primary election, ami the unanimous, and enthusiastic mainer in which he was nominated by the County Convention as the choice of County for Congress, illustrates the high appreciation which-the County en* tertiiina for his services in the past, and their desire to see him go yet higher. We think it is time for Anderson Coun? ty to have the representative in Congress fron, this District, and Col. Simpson bias bci-i named as the County's choice for the . nomination. A.: delegation of able gentlemen, . personal friends of Col. ;0<mp8onj represent the County in the Congressional Convention, and we have ? no doubt will .fully and earnestly present .hia'clairas to the Convention," if one shall ' : be .called. In Jhe meantime, we have .thought it prppe^ to present this brief faketch of the nominee to the public, in the) hope that it may be of service, in callihg^ttention to the work which Col. | Simpson: has done, and the reasons why the County-has endorsed him for the r?minatlon. mf. j: GOOD ADVICE. The Honea Path Plaindealer gives the voters of the County wholesome advice on the selection of County candidates. Tho. people owe it to themselves and'/jajffl the State to look carefully into the selec^B tbn of candidates, and to vote for tbe best -man who offers for any office. The Faintitokr says: ; The 26th day of August has been fixed j upon as the day for holding the primary election for the County officers of this I County. .Candidates will-now step forth'; from nearly all the professions and set up their claims for public honors. Consid? eration of personal friendship will doubt? less influence many in determining whom they will vote for; occupation and pro? fessions will doubtless influence many more; but we are persuaded that the larger portipn of Anderson voters are men of good sense and judgment, and that they will not vote for a man simply because they like him and think him.^il clever fellow, or because he is one of the same class that they-are. Character and qualifications being equal in two candi? dates men are expected to vote for him for whom they have feelings of personal friendship. Qualifications and fitness for office being equal, farmers are right to vote for farmers in preference.to law vere, doctors or others, but we cannot afford to vote for onr friends regardless of .tbeirfitness. It would be a stigma and ajl disgrace upon the farmers of Anderson? County if they were to elect meu to rep? resent them without regard to qualifica? tions simply becauee they were farmers, and those were to prove to ;be a set of. blockheads who could be fooled into tbe support of any measure without under*".! standing them. We wish for-our Repre? sentatives, both in the Senate and House of Representatives, men of brains and I men who are not afraid of work, and who will spare no pains that they may be thoroughly informed on every measure! that comes up for consideration. What will it be worth to us to send men who will sit and allow bill after bill to be passed without understanding even the intent of them and without raising their voices either in favor of them or m op- j position to them? If we send men to! know nothing, to find out nothing, and to do nothing we bad as well not send men at all.. If the representatives of other Counties have to do all the study* ing, and all the work, then our County,' of which we aro pleased to boast as one of the first in the State, had as well be allowed no representation. Men of Anderson, be thinking: know the men for whom you vote; allow no consideration of personal enmity or friendship to influence you ; let no class Srejudice drive yon from the path of uty, but do your duty to your County, your State and your country. ?

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. . Washington, D. 0., July 10, 1880. |*.Tbe patriotic citizenui'of the District1 celebrated the 110th birthday of the Na? tion ou two days this yi.?ar?Sunday and Monday. . Many of the churches, instead of the usual Sabbath service, had a 4th of July meeting Sunday evening. The principal features of the gatherings were the patriotic utterances of many Senators and Representatives. The city was as quiet as cuuld be itnagiued on Monday. ?The big government buildings were locked, and all the department people rushed for steamboats and railroad trains to take them down the river or into tbe country. Nearly all tbe h ?? ads of depart* merits were ont of the city. The only sign of life was at the South end of the Capitol where the House, without a symp torn of patriotic emotion, held a perspir? ing session, grinding away upon the gen? eral deficiency bill. An opportunity to see tbe House in session was about tbe only thing that afforded any satisfaction to the crowd of rustics who were allured to the city by one-half railroad fare* The law prohibiting the combustion of powder in any form was rigidly enforced. The only redeeming feature was a fine display of fireworks at night in the White House lot, which attracted an enormous crowd. Time is fleeting, but our Legislative solons make but slow progress in lighten? ing the burden of legislation which was committed to their charge last December, notwithstanding their daily and nightly sessions to dispose of business. All idea of considering many important bills, such as the increase of the Navy, has been given' up, and the idea of tariff legisla? tion or even tariff debate has been aban? doned, as was Indicated by a resolution, presented to the.House by Mr. Morrison,, asking to have ? day fixed for the consid? eration of bills reported from the Com? mittee on Ways and Means, and now on the calendar, not to include any bill rais? ing revenue. It is a groat pity that so many- bills-now upon tbe calendar, to which no objection possible could be rais? ed, should fail to pass because the way is blocked by more objectionable bills which stand higher on the list i . The President continues to be flooded with pension bills which are rushed through Congress. During this session 665 special pension acts have become, law, while 92 have been vetoed. Tbe action of the President in returning so many bills without his signature has greatly- exasperated the pension legisla? tors, but that the President is supported by the majority of the members in the .stand he has taken is very apparent. It is taken for granted In Congress that when a bill Is vetoed and, nothing more is heard is regard to it from the commit? tee whose duty it is to report it to their respective Houses, the veto is acquiesced in, and thus the President is sustained. There has not been more than three vetoed pension bills reported back to the House, and not many mo -e to the Senate, and as yet none have been passed over tho veto. The House-la determined to sustain tbe President in the stand he has taken, and it is probable t hat not a single bill will be.passed over the veto. Sereral Congressmen have recently ex pressed their determinatio n not to accept a renomination, but none, havb created such a wide expression of regret and sor? row as the announcement made by ex Governor Curtin, the w:ir Governor of Pennsylvania, that this would be the last session spent by him in the House of Congress. The chief reasons assigned for this determination are on account of old age and the incessant importunities of office-seekers, who harass and annoy him from morning to night. The printers who do all of Uncle Sam's printing are unusually happy just now, owing to the warm and earnest action of the House committee oh printing. The clerks in all of the departments are al? lowed 80 days leave in each year with pay. Hitherto the employees in the Government Printing Office have had no privilege of this kind. Congress has passed and the President has signed a bill giving them 15 days leave with pay. The lady employees seat magnificent floral offerings to the Capitol, and bad them placed on the desks of the members of tbe committees of the Senate and House who were largely instrumental in securing the passage of the'measure. H. Promptly at his Post, Washington^ July 12.?Ex-Governor Thompson arrived here this morning on the early train from Columbia. He pro? ceeded to the residence of Comptroller Trenholm, and after breakfast accompa? nied the latter to the treasury department. He immediately called upon Acting Sec? retary Fairchiid and announced himself ready to take possession of his now office. The departmental notary was summoned, and in the presence of Messrs. Fairchiid and Trenholm the new assistant secretary took the bath of office. This formality over, Assistant Secretary Thompson went over to the White House, paid his re? spects to the President and informed him that he was prepared to enter upon bis duties at once. The usual courtesies were exchanged, after which Governor Thompson returned to the treasury de? partment and occupied himself until noon, receiving informally the congratu? lations of friends in tbe department. At 12 o'clock he was informed that his office was open to him, and the bureau officers and chiefs of divisions were ready to be presented to him. Some thoughtful person had placed a beautiful bouquet of flowers open his desk and the room was filled with their fragrance. Mr. Fairchiid stood by the Bide of the new assistant secretary and Chief Clerk Youraans made the introductions. - All prominent depart? mental officials were present, and many subordinates also presented themselves for introduction. Governor Thompson at once created a favorable impression upon his official associates by his pleasant and courteous manners. As he and Fairchiid stood side by tide a veteran bureau chief remarked: "That is a splendid team, both about the same size. I like the new secretary's appearance; he stands squarely upon his :feet and looks Jou straight in the eye. He seems to ave all the qualifications of a successful executive officer." Your correspondent heard similar expressions of opinion on all sides, and our late Governor's intro? duction into the treasury department was a decided success. Governor Thompson spent the remainder of the day familiar? izing himself with the duties he will be called upon to perform, and in becoming acquainted with the officials in his office. To morrow he will begin.tbe routine ?work of bjs office. United States Marshal Boy kin also ar? rived here to-day, called blither by a letter from Senator Untier-?Despatch to tltt jfaot aiid Courier, ? Dr. Theas Taylor was convicted of manslaughter in Queens County, N.

Four miles South of the city of Greenville, on Thursday morning, Henry Israelite, a colored youth, shot at a snake which was lying between the logs of the Cabin. The load struck his younger brother and sinter in the head, dangerous? ly wounding both,' UNDER A COMMON FLAG. The Cavalry Reunion ou the field of Get tyabnrg. From the Philadelphia Times. Gettys?uho, July G.?The rough rid? ers are out ouce more, but to-day the men in grey or the men in blue do not blanch the cheeks of womon nor make the blood of men flame with passion. The "Johnnies" and the "Yanks" are raiding at Gettysburg again, but this time it is peace they bring, not war. No Burgess Hits in dread at the town council expeetiug to hear the order to sack the village. The past days have been the infantry's. "Go!" and they are all gone or are going, full to the neck with patri? otism, at least. Gen. Wade Hampton, of the Confed? erate side, is already ou the ground. The blue and the grey cavalrymen will meet and mingle once more, and now they ride together. The chicken coops are safe on this raid, and the barns and corn cribs will not be invaded for forage. The "bummers" are sent to the rear. There will be no flashing of sabres, no army bugle calls will cut the air as with the flash of bwords. The thundering impet? uosity of embattled charges will not make the earth shake or mar the beauty of nature in this loveliest of valley land? scapes, where to-morrow's sun brings to ! gether men whose names are renowned and historic from their participation in the Civil War. It will be a sight fit for the gods to see Wade Hampton and Gregg shake hands on the same battlefield, where they sent their troopers against each other with most deadly intent. On these fields of their fiercest onsets and most fiercely in? flamed exploits they will join hands and break bread. When Col. Briggs, of the old 7th Michigan, and Boiling, of the 14th Virginia Cavalry, ride together, while Mclntosh, of Pennsylvania, ana Gen. Munford, of Virginia, Blackford and McClellan, of J. E. B. Stuart's staff, wet their Hps from the same stirrup cup, do we not know that peace has in? deed come to stay ? The country-side is already swarming with the dashing cav? alrymen of the Army of Northern Vir? ginia. About one hundred well-known caval? rymen and officers from south of the Po? tomac will ride out to-morrow with hun? dreds of those who in the Army of the Potomac crossed sabres and met them in all the shock of war. "Boots and sad? dles" will be the morning call again. The hostile encounter will take place in the woods on or near the Stall Smith farm, where, on the afternoon of the 3d day of July, 1863, Gen. Stuart's cavalry dashed out on the Hanover road in sup? port of Pickett's famous charge and were met and baffled by the "rough riders" of Gregg and Custer. There is to be au ample luncheon laid out in that field. The occasion is to be notable by its hospitality as well as by the character and fame of those who are in attendance or will be when the line of march is taken up. It is a subject of very general regrec that Governor Fitz hugh Lee, of Virginia, will not be pres? ent. He sends word that the dangerous illness with scarlet fever of one of his children renders his leaving home im? possible. He has sent as his representa? tive Col. Lewis, a member of of his staff. FEATURES OF THE GATHERING. As a dramatic, or, I might say, sensa? tional, feature of these reunions, nothing yet has equalled the gathering now in progress. Afore distinguished Confeder? ate officers will join in the cavalry re? union than have beep upon this field since the battle was fought here. Gen. Wade Hampton came up on the evening train from Washington. With him was Capt. J. W. Moore, of Hamptou, S. C, who was the adjutant of the Black Horse Legion, with which Hampton's name was first made famous at Bull Run. Capt. Gary, of South Carolina, who was alBO an officer with Hampton in this fight, is in the party. Col. E. E. Boil? ing, who commanded the 14th Virginia in this cavalry charge, came up . from Danville, Va; Gen. Munford, also of Virginia, is spending the night at Car? lisle with the Yankee captain against whom he contended twenty-three years ago. There is a strange and interesting group to-night ou the porch of the Get Ssburg Springs Hotel. Here is Wade ampton and Major McClellan, J. E. B. Stuart's adjutant general and historian, with Capts. Gary and Moore, of the Hampton Legion* entirely surrounded and in a state of siege by Gen. Mclntosh, who commanded a brigade of Gregg's cavalry, and the four distinguished rep? resentatives of Custer 'a old command. AH of them have wonderfully changed in twenty-three years. The faces that were then young and the hair, and whis? kers that were then black are now fur? rowed by years and streaked with gray. There are crow-foots at the corner of the eyes, but the laughter on their lips is hearty and gay. It has that touch of youthfulness in it which belongs to old soldiers when renewing the "hostilities" of the occasion. A REMARKABLE PICTURE, It is indeed a remarkable picture and could not be -looked upon in' any other country on the globe but this. Hamp? ton is now a United States Senator in the Government he tried to ride down. Mclntosh is a retired officer of the regu? lar army. Col. Gray is a great lawyer in New York and the general solicitor of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Col. Briggs is a wealthy citizen of Grand Rapids and Col. Boiling is a leading lawyer in the Piedmont region of Vir? ginia. All of these changes and many more have come to these men since they met each other in the desperate charge on the Hanover road, some four and a half miles on the road to Baltimore. Their coming together is indeed a re? markable iucideut in the love-feast of our new uationality. RECEPTION TO WADE HAMPTON. A flank movement was executed by the Grand Army men, and the Springs being invested Gen. Wade Hampton and his associates were captured and con? veyed to Camp Hancock, on East Ceme? tery Hill. Adjt. Gen. Stewart, of the Pennsylvania department, led the cap? turing party. Gen. Hampton was re? ceived with all the honors due to such a a distinguished captive at headquarters. The comrades thronged to greet him. Introductions were made and the General was given a soldier's welcome. During the visit he gratified bis captors with a very pleasant little speech, in which he expressed his gratification at thegreeting J;iven himself and friends. He was We? ighted in being enabled to occupy Cem? etery Hill, and he found the task a much easier and far more pleasant one than the attempts he and his comrades made some twenty-three years ago to accomplish the same end. Indeed the greatest delight was found in the fact that this, the later occupancy, was made under a common flag, and by all of them as the equal citizens of one country [The Times correspondent falls into several errors that will be quite obvious to most of our readers. The Hampton Legion was never called the Black Horse Legion. The Black HorBe Cavalry was a Virginia command from Fauquier County. Capt. (now General) J. W. Moore was the adjutant of the 2d South Carolina Cavalry, the regiment of which Senator Butler was the first colonel, and which, both under Butler and afterwards under Col. T. J. Lipscomb, was distin? guished on many fields. It was com? manded at Gettysburg by Col. Lipscomb.] Beware of Imitation. ?

Trust no druggist who makes any such representations. Beware of all such im? position.

About twenty years ago I dlscovored a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro^ nonneed it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, bnt -without recelvtn; any perma*; neat benefit. Among the number were ono or two specialists. The medicine they oppited was like flro to tbe sere, causing intense pain, I saw a statement in tho paperc telllngwhat' 6. B. a had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Befc re I had used tho second bottle tho neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up.

J[ OTJ have already learned through the local columns in the last issue of the Intelligencer the fact that we have bought out the entire stock of Messrs. J. M. McDonnell & Co., comprising nearly six thousand ($6,000) dollars worth of Goods, embracing splendid lines of? \ Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Notions, And, indeed, everything usually found in first class Dry Goods stores. This, in addition to our already very large Stock, gives us the largest and most complete assortment of Goods ever before contained in any one Store in this City or in the upper part of the State. We bought them at a bargain for spot Cash, and propose to give the trading public 'bu benefit of it. We know that the prices we offer these Goods at will be a surprise to you. We know, also, that competition is out of the question, for if others would undertake to sell their Goods at the prices we do, they would have to sell them for less than they paid for them, and board themselves besides, and this wouldn't be business, you know. The following are a few of the price:*-at which we will sell for the next sixty days, in order to make room for our Fall purchases : 5,000 pairs Ladies' and Gent's Shoes, from 50c to ?1.00 per pair. 1,000 pairs Ladies' and Gents' Shoes, from $1.00 to $2.50 per pair. 1,000 Men's and Boys' Straw Hats, from 5c to 75c each?worth double the money. 750 Men's and Boys' Wool and Fur Hats from 10c to ?1.50 each?worth twice the money. Dres3 Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, Hosiery, Gloves, Ladies' Collars and Cuffs, Belts, Veiling, Ruffling, and a multitude of other articles, at just half the customary prices. RIBBONS?a large lot, including all the new shades?on which we are entire? ly overstocked, and must sell. You can have them at your own price. CORSETS from 25c to 50c?can't be bought for less than 50c to 75c. The fa moua "Ball" Corsets, the beat in the world, we will sell at less than manufacturer's cost. The makers of these Corsets require their agents to sell them at not less than 25 per cent, above cost, but as we bought them at an Assignee's Sale, of courses' made no agreement of that sort. Buyers, who understand their true value, are eagerly making their purchases^now, and we would advise you to buy early, as we will not be able to replace them at the prices offered. On next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the 8th, 9th and 10th days of July, We will make a Special Exhibit of Gent's and Boys' STRAW and FELT HATS, with prices marked down low, to be good only for these three days. We want everybody who tvants Hats to come, as this will be an opportunity to buy them cheap, and for less than their value. Come anyway, whether you want to buy or not, but bring your money along, in case you should see anything in our Store so cheap that you may want it, tlxat you may not be disappointed about it. We will be glad to see you at all times, and will do our beat to please yon. We know that we can make it to your interest to give us your trade, as we have a Stock of Goods that cost us less money than others have to pay for them. Come and see for yourselves.
