KEEp 1T BEFORE THE People.


On the 18th day of March, 1870, Judge James
L. Orr was interviewed by correspondent OF
the New York TFii5une, and gave utterance to
the following severe denunciation of the Rad
ical party, with which he is now associated:
sThe results of the last three years have sat-
isfed, the people that all the present evils OF
which they complain might have been averted
bvsbowing to the colored voters that they intend
TO maintain their. new rights. Large numbers
of the best men in South Carolina are even now
willing to espouse Republican principles, ana
would doubtless do SO bat for the d;strusta'tsch,
as gentlemen of character and Intelligence, they
naturally entertain to,card those 'oho, By accident
al circumstances, hare been placed IN the fsaa o.
the Republican party-men s0ho do not, and
never did enjoy public confidence; men '0A0 are
sunorant. corrupt, dishonest and unfit, By reason
Of THERE early associations, for decent society
They were adroit enough, however, to make the
more ignorant among the negroes believe them
to be their best friends and by employing all the
arts of the demGgogue, and an u''scrWpul0us use
of disgraceful agencies, they succeeded in being
elected to the most important Offices in the
State"

Murder in Laurens.

We have received private information from
Laurens that a. shocking murder was committed
in that town on Friday night last 1t seems
that young man named Montgomery had
slight misunderstanding with Mr.. Thomas a
Tobin during the day but their friends did not
believe anything serious would occur between
them. Both parties boarded at Simmons Ho-
tel, and after Montgomery had retired to his
room that night, Tobin went to the door and
knocked for admission, and when the door was
opened he fired upon his. antagonist with a
pistol, the ball taking effect in the right groin,
severing an artery, from which Mr.. Montgom-
cry bled to death in about an hour. Mr.. Tobin
left the hotel and went to his store, where he
remained until next morning, when he was
arrested and committed to Jail to await his
trial in October. The victim of this terrible
affair was quiet, peaceable young man, and q
sor of John D. Montgomery, Esq, of Spartan
burg. Mr. Tobin is popular and enterprising
merchant of Laurens, and had won the respect
and confidence Of the community.

The Convention then proceeded to make the
nomination of candidates for the General AS
sembly, with the following result:
For Senator-James A. Hoyt.
For the Rouse-John B. Moore, DR.. John
Wilson and Minor Crawford.
At this point, Col. F. E. Harrison offered

mously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the members of this Con-
vention, pledge ourselves to support by our
influence and votes the nominees of the Con-
vention, and will oppose any one who, after
submitting their names for nomination to the
Convention, shall persist in running for the
Office for which nominee has been chosen.
On motion, the Convention then proceeded
with the nomination of candidates for the
County Offices, which resulted as follows:
For County Commissioners F. Crayton,
w. S. Pickens and ]. w. Norris.
For Probate Judge-W. w. Humphreys.
For School Gomn,issioner-W. 81. Haynie.
On motion, the editor of the Anderson In

Death of Judge Bleckley.

We deeply regret to learn of the death of
Judge James Bleckley, of Clayton, Ga, which
occurred at his residence in that place on Mon
day last. He has been suffering from dropsy
of the chest for some months, and his death
WAS ne tunexpected, although the fatal attack
was quite sudden His con, Mr.. S. Bleckley,
of this place, received the melancholy news at
the depes on Tuesday morning, and was about
tc take the cars for New York, when the sum-
mons came that his father was no more. Judge
Bleckley was well known in this community,
and greatly respected by all of his acquain-
tances here and elsewhere He was a promi-
nent citizen of Northeast Georgia, and was
stronrly attached to that region of country,
where his death will be mourned as public
calamity.

Political Meeting at Providence.

In accordance with the published notice, the
citizens of Rock Mills township assembled at
Providence Church on Saturday last, for the
purpose of electing delegates to represent that
township in the County Convention and to
hear addresses upon political affairs. The
meeting embraced about one hundred persons,
and was called TO order in the school-house at
IL o'clock. J. J. McLees, Esq, was called
upon to preside, and after the chairman stated
the objects of the meeting, it was determined
to postpone the township business until after
the public speeches. Messrs. John B. Moore,
James A Hoyt and w. D. Evins were then
severally introduced, and delivered addresses
upon the situation of political affairs in this
State. Mr.. D. M. Watson was then called for,
and responded at considerable length. He was
replied to by Mr.. B. F. Crayton upon some Of
the points discussed. A call was then made
for Wash. Sadler, (colored,) who made
brief speech as to the relations of the two
races. He reviewed the condition of the black
and white people for the past five years, and
showed the necessity for harmony, urging upon
his hearers of every class to elect only honest
and capable men to Office. He thought the
time had arrived when both races could hear
tily unite in an effort for the good OF the State.
Altogether, it was sensible, practical talk
from an independent colored man, who seems
only desirous of accomplishing good results,
and We have no doubt that his sentiments will
be warmly applauded and endorsed by the COL
.ored people of his, ne;ghborhooG. The selec-
ton of delegates to the County Convention
was then made, and the meeting adjourned.

The Radical Meeting on Saturday last.

The regular appointment of the Radical
speakers for mass meeting at this place on
Saturday nearly resulted in complete failure
so far as the speakers were concerned. 1t had
been spread far and wide that Gov. Scott,
among the rest, intended to enliven the occa-
sion with his presence, and render an account
Of bis administration of the State government
for the past two years. But we are satisfied
that this was Radical device to obtain an au-
dience for lesser lights of that party, and that
Gov. Scott never entertained the remotest idea
of making speech at this place. Neverthe-
less, the desired effect upon the eolored people
was perceptible, at an early hour on Saturday
morning for they focked to the Court House in
large numbers from every section of the coun-
ty. 1t has been estimated by many persons
that about one thousand were in attendance
during the day, but they were doomed to dis
appointment, for no speakers arrived on Fri
day evening AEunor was started that an ex-
ira train would bring full supply of orators
in the forenoon, and this kept up the spirits of
the crowd until it was finally agreed upon all
sides that there would not be any speaking un-
less the afternoon train brought relief to the
local fuglemen, who had promised so grand
treat. But the country people were not to be
appeased any longer, and although the militia
had paraded with fife and drum, and the mo-
notony OF the occasion had been relieved by q
fight or two, they commenced leaving in con-
siderable numbers. By four o'clock, when the
the train arrived with R. B. Elliott aboard, the
majority of the crowd had departed for their
homes. The remainder were quickly gathered
in front of the Court House, where Elliott de-
livered harangue of about three hours, as we
are informed. And thus ended, ingloriousiy
for the Radical party, the great mass meeting
of Saturday last.

The proceedings of the County Convention,
which met in the Court House on Monday last,
are given in another column. Every township
was represented, and the proceedings were con-
Quoted quietly and in good order. The dele
gates occupied. the space inside the bar, and
large number of citizens were upon the outside
as interested spectators. A spirit of entire
fairness and generous rivalry in behalf of their
respective favorites appeared to actuate the
delegates, and there was every evidence of har-
mony and unity of purpose in the Convention.
1t remains for the people to endorse the action
of their delegates at the polls next month.

| fighting was renewed at Armigny, on the same
line of railway. Besides their movements in
the north, the Prussians are operating in the
Departments of Yonne and Aube, and are
oyerrunning the environs of Troyes and Tou-
mere, and cutting the railways and telegraphs
| All our advices respecting the siege OF Stras-
bourg come from the Germans. The defenders
are shut in from the world, and have no means
of communicating their real situation. The
Germans claim to have destroyed large part
of the town, including the library for which
the city is famous. They believe that the be-
sieged cannot hold out more than three days
longer. A London despatch says that the in
habtants are starving. These stories are SINH
lar to those we used to hear durinl. the siege of
Charleston. The Federal guns repeatedly de-
molshed the entire city, and the besieged were
continually dying of hunger. Yet Charleston
held out until the close of the war, aud the two
years bombardment did comparatively little
damage.
FRIDAY, September 2.
The battles of which we have had so many
conflicting reports for several days are but
parts of the great decisive conflict raging be-
tween the armies of France and Prussia in the
region of the Argonnes. The fighting ground
is of vast extent, and the intelligence We have
comes sometimes from one part of the field
and then from another This will account for
the confusion in the details. 1t is clear from
the news this morning that Marshal Bazaine is
operating in conjunction with Marshal Mac
Mahon. There are no official accounts from
either side, but the Paris papers have particu-
lars of important French victories on Tuesday
and Wednesday. The latter affair is described
as n total defeat of the left wing and centre of
the Prussian army, with enormous losses. Only
the right wing was able to retreat in compare
lively good order. The latest Paris despatch,
dated last evening, says Yesterday MacIa
hon gained an important victory" La Patrie
has an account of the driving of Prussian
corps into Luxembourg and of the disarming
of the fugitives by the authorities thereof.
On the other hand dispatches from the Prus-
sian side claim that the Crown Prince of Sax
ony has captured 10, 900 French prisoners. 1t
is evident that fighting is still going on, and
that the final issue may not be known for sew
eral days to come.
The gallant defence of strasbourg is exciting
the admiration of France. In the Corps Leg
islatif on Wednesday an allusion to the siege
brought forth enthusiastic cheers. The COM
