uOur election for delegates to the State
Convention resulted in the choice of Lieut..
VIM. a. Perry, Maj. T G. Boiling, Rev.
JP. Boyce and DR.. j. p Latimer The
number Of votes polled was small, not ex-
ceeding in all $50. This was owing partly
to want of interest among the people rel.
ative to the election, and partly the revoca-
ton, by military order, of authority given
by Gov. Perry to magistrates to administer
the oath of amnesty, for the purpose Of eu.
abling citizens to vote. The authority thus
given by the Governor was recognized and
affirmed by q telegraphic dispatch from the
President, on Friday night before the cleo
tion !; but it was too late for the people
generally to avail themselves of the infor-
nation. This election over, our people are
beginning to discuss with more interest
that of Senator and members 10 the Legis-
lature, and of Representatives to Congress-,
No candidates are out, as yet, for the Leg
islature, but some have been talked about.
For Congress, it is probable that Col. Far
row, of Spartanburg, Maj. Boiling, 'of
Greenville, and Col. Reed, Of Anderson,
will be in Che, field !; and an addition to our
Congressional District that may unite Alb
beville and Laurens with us, will probably
bring into the, list the gallant'anda veteran
Gen. McGowan, Of AbbeviIle. - -
