For the anderson MtelAgencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: There are some of the good
citizens of Anderson county that are little
doubtful about the negro labor weperformedi in
our nominating convention, but / cannot see
how any one in accord with the Union Reform
party, and wishes Carpenter and Butler to sue
ceed in the election, can say anything in oppo-
sition to negroes holding Office, if they are
qualified to fill the position. Have we not
taken the negro plank in our platform, and
thereby pledged ourselves to that policy? The
Scott party is very industrious teaching the ne
groes that we are not friends to them, and that
our party is Democracy in disguise, and will
not do for the negro that which we are pledged
to do. Any party that is struggling into exist
ence is forced to try new experiments, and l
believe to give the negro Office is good policy;
and the above policy will show to the negro
that we are going to act in good faith by get
ting on the Republican platform. We call
ourselves Union and Reform, and a very appro-
pirate name it is, too. Carpenter says that no
man becomes Republican by voting for him,
and no man becomes Democrat by voting for
Butler, which is a political puzzle, ifwetake in
to consideration the platform they are running
on. AS we are on that platform, let act in good
faith, and do that which we have declared to
the world we would do. Then we will cease to
give the Scott party a handle with which to
work against us; prove to the negro that we
are his friends, and affiliate with him in an un-
mistakabe way. 1t will certainly be safe to do
so, as the whites in this county have such a
majority as to prevent the negro from monopo-
lizing the Offices. But we must consider that
they have a large majority in the State, and
that majority has been used to corrupt the gov
ernment and oppress the people; and we will
never get out of the difficulty until we can af-
filiate with them so as to, secure their votes.
We must do that by giving them all their po-
itical rights, including the right to hold office,
and by fair and honest dealing with them on
our FARMS And just here will give you
plan pursued by me this year with the few la
borers, white and colored, in my employment.
hire them by the month engage for so many
months at a time At the end of every week
1 have settlement with them; they can reco,
ect all the provisions received during the week
and the price of it, and can compute it; they
know how much weeks work is worth
settle with them, and tell them how much owe
them or they owe me, and they are satisfied l
do them justice. 1t also serves to check them
in taking up more than they can pay for.
We should use every prudent means to
gain the negro vote at the coming election.
Vote for the nominees, and avoid a split in our
ranks. Keep up our courage, and let no man
say he believes Scott will be elected. l do not
believe it, and if you do, keep that belief to
yourself 1t is time enough ito hollow when you
are whipped. Work for success, because it is
success or ruin with the property holders and
laborers, white and colored. ,ai .s

Progress Of the Campaign Encouraging.

Only four weeks remain in which to work
for the success of the Union Reform move
ment and we would urge upon every citizen
opposed to the past abuses of the State govern
ment and in favor of Rctrcnchment and Re.
form, to put his shoulder to the wheel, and
endeavor to secure victory and its consequent
blessings. It is not alone sufficient that the
good citizen should wish success to be achieved,
but it is necessary that every one should seek
TO influence his neighbors and friends to add
their strength to the cause. The sub-colmmit-
tees of the Union Reform party ought to be
diligcnt and active from now until the day OF
election, and so perfect their arrangements in
every township as to bring out to the ballot
box every voter who is identified with the
movement Let the vote for Carpenter and
Butler be swellcd to the highest possible num-
her, and thus aid to our utmost extent in the
redemption of the State. An overwhelming
majority in Anderson county will oountcrbal-
ance the majority for Scott in some of the
lower counties. The citizen remaining away
from the polls virtually aids the Scott Ring to
that extent, and this alone is sufficient induce
ment to poll the heaviest vote in favor of the
Reform candidates. If you condemn Scotts
administration, exhibit your condemnation in
the only effective way, by exercising your right
as q citizen at the ballot-box. Away with
apathy and indifference, if these evils are upon
you, and work encgetically in behalf OF this
earnest movement to secure a better State gov
ernment Success will not be attained without
persistent cndeaver and unremitting effort.
Discharge the duty incumbent upon good citi-
zens, and we believe a complete triumph will
cnsuc Judge Carpenter and General Butler
have faithfully and effectively performed the

THE EXHIBITION OF THE AGE-The name
of Col. c. 7. Ames, coupled with exhibitions
of rare merit and costly equipments, has be-
come national celebrity, says an exchange.
Throughout every portion of the country, and
in every city, town and village, he has a repu-
tation superior to that of any other manager,
and young and old are assured that when his
bills are displayed they will not be disappointed
anticipating display of the rarest and most
recherche arenic performances ever presented
beneath pavilion. -".'
We are now simply alluding to the Equcs-
trian, Gymnasticand general acts of the "Olym-
paid" which, however, only constitute one fea-
ture of the gigantic exhibition he has organic
cd for the present season of 1870. This de-
partment has been perfected with the most
scrupulous care, and, it is not too much to as
sert embodies more arenic ability in the shape
of Equcstriennes, Horsemen, Acrobats, Gym
nasts Clowns, Danscuses, Ethiopian Comedians
and general performers, than any other Circus
in America, or, we may say, the world.
The magnificent stud of horses and the Lii
putian performing ponies, after being selected
for beauty, symmetry and sagacity, have un-
dergonc an education which none but the most
experienced maitrs dc chcval can conceive.
The accoutrcments, paraphernalis, costumes,
trappings and appointments are in style Of
splendor to fascinate the eye, while the per-
formanccs captivate the senses of wonder and
admiration, and carry the imagination to the
classic Athenian and Olympic games.
Heroic daring and dazzling show are COM
bincd with sparkling comedy and Attic w.t.
and thus the arena is focus of attraction to
beguile, charm and cxhiarate, while all that is
unsccmly, coarse or vulgar is banished from its
precincts. See advertisement.

nE In recording the proceedings OF the re-
cent County Convention, an unfortunate error
was committed in reference to the name OF the
colored man who was nominated for Represen-
satiye. Over his own signature, James Miner

also his political record is properly set forth
before the people.

Yes, that is it; we must have a little

will have the blues, because the stomach,
