sSy Our Williamson correspondent sheds
some light upon the conduct of certain dis
tinguished gentleman, and we are disposed to
turn the matter over to his compeers. But as
some of our friends have expressed belief
that recent illusions in these columns to the
President of the Loafer's Club might exaspe-
rate that gentleman, and cause demand for
"pistols and Coffee" we desire to state that the
services of big, fat, lazy member of the Club
have been engaged, and he will do our fighting
if any. accommodations of that sort are needed
It NAV be we'll to hint that he is the same in
dividual who tried to show US the cotton
squares, and the bare announcement is suth-
cient to alright the soul of any adversary
much less our peaceably inclined friend at the
Springs.

rious fact, and well worth noting, that, while
President Grant was suffered to pass through
Connecticut without exciting anything even
distantly resembling popular enthusiasm, a
mention causually made by Senator Casscrly in
his Fourth of July Grafton of General McClcl-
Ian was followed by such an outburst of ap-
plause as compelled the orator to suspend his
discourse for the moment. The truth is that
the ignoble worship of mere success has no real
hold after all on the popular heart. 1t is the
genuine personal qualities of men that in the
long run determine the allegiance to them of
their fellows, not the maneuvres of their po-
litical manufacturers nor the whinls of destiny"

Mr.. John billiard, near Rocky Mount,
N. c., was engaged in filling kerosene lamp
while it was lighted, when it exploded, knock
ing him senseless, and setting fire to the dress
of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wexford, who was
badly burned. Mrs. W., ut the time was hold
ing the newly-born infant of Mrs. billiard in
her arms, which she laid in its swaddling
clothes on table, while she examined her own
dress. MIR. billiard recovering, and seeing
what he thought was mere bundle of clothes
on fire, threw them out of the door, not know
ing their precious contents. On being taken
up, the infant was found to be dead but its
rs it's body was found to be burned in several
places. Mr. D. was painfully burned aboutthe
face and head, and Mrs. w. most shockingly
injured.

souTHERy REFoRM.--A vigorous effort

SOUTHERN REFoRM.--A vigorous effort
(says the Boston Post has set in on the part
of the people, whose result is beginning to
show itself in South Carolina and Alabama,
and will soon change the face of the situation
throughout that whole section. The people
have endured the abuses to which they have
been subjected as long as they can, and are
now organizing in good earnest to overthrow
tyranny more corrupt and exhausting than any
that ever entered their conceptions The kind
of local government that could first elect,
Whittemore, is Justly open to the severcst de-
nunciation. 1t is charged that the reason why
Gov. Scott did not interfere with his influence
to terminate the Whittemore scandal, is be-
cause he is as deep in the mud as the latter is
in the mire A Convention of people of all
parties was recently assembled at Columbia,
that appealed to the citizens of the State, col
ored and white to join in an earnest effort to
rescue the Government from the hands of a
corrupt and demoralizing ring, and to uproot
the four years establishment OF the rule OF ig-
norance, vice and dishonesty, in the State.
Some of the most distinguished men In
South Carolina were participants IN the pro-
ceedings. The movement means simply an
effort to secure the proper execution OF the
laws, the just disbursement of the public mon
cyS, anu llle SeleCllOu Ol lllCll loI oOioi P0oi
tion who combine with marked ability sutfi-
cient courage to discharge the public duties
with honesty, fidelity, frmness and impartiali-
ty. The equality not disputed, the sole issue
is the overthrow of the mercenary gang that
has disgraced the State for so long without be-
ing held to account for it. 1t is q wholly con-
servative movement in the interest of reform.
The spirit of this widespread and simultane-
Gus action is as liberal and just as the abuses
assailed are gross and indcfensible. At length
the people of the South are aroused to take
their safety into their own hands. The appeals
of the new organization to the people at large,
who wish nothing more than the restoration of
their States to healthy life, are made in ex-
cellent temper, betrayng no other passion than
deep desire of re-establishing right and JUS
tice in the place of scallawag ring government
and an indiscfimnate system of spoliation;;
They have no escape but in independent and
united action, such as they have now seriously
resolved upon.

Union Reform Meeting.

The Executive Committee has designated
Wednesday, July 9th, for public meeting at
this place, in the round of appointments for
Hon. R. B. CARPENTER and Gen. NJ. c. But
LER in the up-country. We trust that our
people are prepared to extend cordial vel
come to these champions of the Reform move
ment, and that thousands of the yeomanry and
manhood of this section will congregate 10 hear
these gentlemen upon the questions now before
the people of South Carolina. 1t is particu-
Iarly desirable that every class of our citizens
should be fully represented on that occasion,
and that every voter should be present to de-
termine for himself the merits of the cause up
held by these distinguished speakers. 1t will
tend to remove prejudiccs and clear away
doubts, if any such exist, as to the fitness of
the Union Reform candidates for the high
positions they seek.
1t is necessary that proper arrangements
should be made for the meeting on the 9th,
and for the purpose of obtaining concert of ac-
ton, we respectfully suggest that the citizens
assemble in the Court House on Saturday next,
at IL o'clock a. m, to provide suitable COM
mittees and devise such measures as will pro-
mote the complete success of theproposed mass
meeting The friends of the movement are
earnestly requested to be present, and aid by
their advice and counsel in perfccting all need
full arrangements.

The telegraphfc dispatches for the last week
have indicated general war in Europe
Prince Leopold, of Prussia, has been rendered
the Spanish throne, and objection has been
made by the French government. tits thought
that this was declaration of hostility against
Prussia, and that Napoleon and Bismarck would
again measure strength in diplomacy and upon
the battlefield. Military preparations in France
were going on vigorously, and all over Europe
there has been the greatest activity and inter-
est in the situation. The Prussian government
has denied any completely in the enforcement
of Prince Leopold, and alleges that the Span
ish authorities must be held responsible, and
not Prussia. The latest information before US
leads to the conclusion that the question be-
tween France and Prussia will be settled with
out.resorting to extreme measures.

REMOVAL OF POLITICAL DIsABILITIES.-In
the United States Senate, on Friday last, the
bill removing the political disabilities of over
five thousand persons in the South was taken
up and passed. The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York World givesFthe follow
ing proceedings in this connection:
There were several spats in the Senate to-
day on the question of the removal of disabili-
ties and the spirit of the body manifested itself
with unexpected vehemence against a general
amnesty. Fowler moved to include in a pen
ding disability bill the name of A. O. P.
Nicholson, of Tennessee, ex-President john
sons colleague in the Senate at the outbreak OF
secession. Sawyer (carpet-bag Senator from
South Carolina) yehemently opposed this, the
opposition being unexpected, Sawyer having
heretofore been supposed to be extremely con-
scrvative and in favor of most liberal amncs-
ty if not one that should be universal. Saw
yer's lead being followed Fowler withdrew the
name. 1t appears that the Tennessee Conser-
vatives are anxious to make Mr.. Nicholson one
of the judges of the State Supreme Court, and
the motion to remove his disabilities was made
in order to admit of his acceptance of the
position. Morton objected to Basil Duke say
| ing he was as bad as John Morgan, whose Sec
ond in command he was, and Dukes name was
stricken out. Mr.. McCreery tried hard to Sc
cure removal of disabilities for Gustayus w
Smith, who, he said, was now in Kentucky
paralyzcd, and in very reduced circumstances
and could receive a small State Office in the In
surance Bureau if relieved Conkling said
Smiths conductin in leaving New York city, where
he held the important position of street COM
missioner, in order to 60 into rebellion, was
unpardonable, and, if paralyzed, it was ajuds-
ment. The name was then struck out. Drake
was very severe on the Kentucky applicants
and said Kentucky was worse than any two Of
the States that went into rebellion. The whole
tone of the Senate was unusually bitter. In
the debate Spencer caused some merrimcnt by
his ignorance of the politics of the State he
represented, objccting to Eli S. Shorter, who, he
said, was Governor of Alabama in secession
times, and on that account ought not to be re-
lieved; it appearing in debate that it was John
Gill Shorter who held that Office.

For the Anderson Mtel3igencer.
WILLIAMSON, July 9, 1870.


MIR. EDITOR: At the earnest solicitation of
the honorable President of the Loafer's Club,
] write you line to correct any erroneous
opinion that may have arisen in the minds of
the brotherhood over whom he has the honor
to preside His indolent majesty would have
kept you posted as to the good work going on
here, but he asserts most emphatically that he
is too lazy to write. Upon arriving here, he
found the loafng material abundant but in a
disorganized condition, and yet which lazily
but steadily flocked to his standard. Hc now
occupies the chair with that dignity so charac-
teristic of the man and position. Had the
members been present and witnessed that scene
in the Trial Justices Court, to which you al
luded last week, not word of complaint would
have been uttered No labor was manifested,
except on the part of the defendant. The
Court could only be organized at the rendez-
vous of the loafers and consequently several OF
that fraternity were cmpanellcd as jurors,
among whom was your worthy and highly es-
teemed President He took reclining posi-
tion with his feet at an angle of AS, and the only
visible sign of movement in his corpulent body
was that of mastication, for which he has
strong and uncomfortable propensity. His as
sociates-drilled as they were by preccpt and
example-imitated their worthy leader, and
thus the trial waged on. He saw nothing,
heard nothing, did nothing, and received moth
ing. 1t is therefore submitted, there need be
no apprehension that the invigorating proper
ties of the water, Justices Court, or any other
influence that will likely be brought to bear in
this locality, will divert him from faithfully
discharging the duties devolving upon him in
promoting Incidence.
