A sCATH1Nc PICTURE.

"BH1cK" PoMERoY, of the La Crosse Democrat,
thus paints in truthful colors the character of
BEAST BUTLER, one of the leaders of the Radical
disunion party "BEH BUTLER is child of perdi-
ton, hurrying home. He went into the war as he
used to defend clients in Lowell to steal from them
He never told the truth except by accident He
never was true to any friend. He never won
battle. He never periled his life, the while send
ing others to be butchered by his blunders. He is
convicted thief, robber and woman insulter. BE
was disgrace to the army as he is to humanity.
He is anything for money. He is brute by in
stinct, beast by education, rotten-hearted, un-
principled people-hating, law-breaking villaln'
whose days are few in the land he curses by his
presence. He would leave off insulting woman
at chance to steal,-he would leave OFT stealing
to insult defeneeless woman" The picture is
complete-it needs not another touch of the brush.

AN APPEAL TO CREDITORS.


We have read with pleasure, that portion Of the
address of Judge A. NJ. SPEER to the Grand Jury
of Newton County, Georgia, which refers to the
indebtedness of the people. After referring to the
terrible losses of the people, and that far the largest
portion of this loss has fallen upon the agricultural
classes, he compliments the liberality with which
the commercial classes have compounded with
debtors and asks: "Shall our own home creditor
do less Shall it be sold TINT after having passed
together through the fiery trial of this war-emerg-
ing from it with broken spirits and shattered for
tuncs our own people are to hunt down the unfor-
tunate debtor-and drive, by cruel exactins, his
family from the desolate fame-scorohed walls that
the rapacity Of war has spared him? trust not,
earnestly recommend through you, gentlemen, to
the people of this country, spirit of forbearance
of kindness, of justice to the debtor class. spirit
of settlement and compromise that will breathe new
life into our failing energies, nerve anew the spirit
sinking under hopeless load of embarrassment,
that will be felt in all the avenues Of trade and in
dustry, and gradually lift our people to comfort
and prosperity. This policy will not only bless
the debtor class-the people-the country-and It's
industry-but it will reflect in return upon the
creditor, and confer upon him, sweet conscious
ness of duty done, that he would not exchange for
all the dross of earthly treasurer"

pUBLIC MEETING.

A meeting of portion of the citizens of Ander-
son District was held in the Court House, after the
adjournment of Court, in the afternoon on Monday,
October 9Th, 1866, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the condition of the country, it's in
debtedness, and the measures proposed for relief.
The meeting was organized by calling Col. W. s.
Pickens to the Chair and requesting James A.
Hoyt to act as Secretary.
The Chairman explained tie object of the meet
ing adyerting to the PROSTATE condition of the
country, and the necessity of alleviatng the trou-
bles and snferings incident to the times
In response to call from the Chair, Maj. T. II.
Russell, W. H. Trescott, Esq, B. F. Crayton, ESQ.,,
and John Wilson, ESQ.,, In the order in which they
are named rendered an account of their steward
ship as members of the General Assembly, placing
before the people the action of that body upon the
various questions adopted and proposed at its re-
cent session, and giving their individual opinions
upon such matters as were discussed by them, es-
pecally in regard to the debt question and the
proposed measures of relief.
Gen. J. W. Harrison was then called for, and
responded at length, offering at the conclusion of
ulS SpeeCn the lOllOWluR TeSOluIlOubs
Resolved That, in the judgment of this meeting,
the Act of the General Assembly of this State, en-
titled ssAn Act to extend relief to debtors, and to
prevent the sacrifice of property at public sale,
passed in December, 1861, and continued in force
until 1864, was commendable for its sound policy
and humanity, and imperntively demanded, by tho
then existing state of the country.
Resolved That, it is still the duty of the State of
South Carolina to extend by allproper Legislature
enactments relief to the people of the State, and
to prevent sacrifice Of property at forced public
sales.
Resolved That imprisonment for debt should be
abolished.
Resolved, That Bankrupt law should be en-
acted immediately if within the power Of the Leg
islature.
Resolved That the thanks Of the meeting are
hereby rendered to the Senator and Members of
the Legislature for this District for their jealous
efforts to relieve the people at the extra session Of
the General Assembly, held in September last.
These resolutions being before the meeting, Col.
Warren D. Wilkes was called for, and responded
in speech of twenty minutes, arguing against the
policy Of the Legislature in providing temporary
expediencies to meet the wants Of the people, fa-
voring Bankrupt Law, if such could be passed,
and urging the basis of compromise in the adjust
uent of debts existing prior to the war.
The hour for re-assembling of the Court having
arrived further discussion of the resolutions was
impracticable, and the question upon their adop-
ton was put before the meeting. The first resolu-
ton was rejected, and the remaining resolutions
adopted the vote being taken seriatim.
For lack of time to complete the action Of the meet
ing, the Chairman announced that the meeting was
adjourned.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS.

We have only space to mention that the October
term of the above Court began on Monday last,
Hon. R. MUNRO presiding Judge. The Solicitor
and Grand Jury have been kept busy in rectifying
abuses of the law, and bringing offenders to the
bar of justice. MOSES LAcKEy has been convicted
of Horse Stealing, and JOHN SMART, indicted for
Burglary, convicted of Grand Larceny. The trial
of Henry Cheatham, freedman, charged with the
murder of SAMUEL A. GEEn in January last, began
on yesterday in the forenoon. In our next, we
shall give full report and history of this impor-
tant case, the first trial of afreedmann our Courts
for capital offence.
We have had the pleasure of meeting with many
members of the bar from adjoining Districts,
among them Gen. MCGOWAN, Senator PERRY, Gen.
A. c.. HASKELL, Messrs. NonroN, WHrTSER and
ADAMS, Capt. W. E. EARLE, and perhaps others.
Altogether, Court so far has brought more than
ordinary interest, and we hail the return of such
interest as an omen of better times and decrease o.
lawlessness and disorder.
