TAKING THE CENsUs.-The census takers
have already commenced their labors through
out the whole country. As the time given
them to accomplish the work is short, and it is
important that the statistics should be accurate,
every person should prepare himself in advance
to answer the questions that will be asked.
Subjoined is schedule that will suggest the
interrogations to be answered by farmers and
stock growers:
1. In reference to land State the owner or
manager of the farm, the number of acres of
land, improved and unimproved, with cash
value of the same, and the value of farming
implements and machinery.
2. State the number of live stock OF all kinds
on hand June 1st, 1870, together with the value
of the same, and the value of the animals
slaughtered within the year.
3. State the number of bushels OF Wneat, rye,
corn, oats, barley, buckwheat, peas and beanss
Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes, pounds OF
cotton, wool and tobacco, if any were produc-
ed. the value of orchard product in dollars, the
number of pounds of butter or cheese, tons of
hay, bushels of clover seeds and other seeds,
pounds of hops, pounds of cane sugar, gallons
of molasses, pounds of honey and beeswa1, and
the value of all homemade manufactures.
The other questions relating to persons, ages,
births, deaths, marriages, professions, occupa-
tons and trades, can readily be answered by any
intelligent member Of the family-only requir
ing care that the dates be correct.

Whittemore Reelected.

Full returns of the election held in the First
Congressional District, on the 21st of May,
have not been received, but it is quite apparent
that the disgraced WH1TTEMoRE hes been re-
elected by an overwhelming majority over his
opponent. Indeed, from the figures given in
our city contemporaries, three-fourths of the vote
cast was in favor of the reverend rascal
The white people generally stayed away from
the polls, and under the pressure of the Union
Leagues, nearly all the colored people voted for
the man who has achieved a wide celebrity by
his misconduct and unworthy action as Rep
resentativc He was opposed by genuine
Republican, who is a decent man and worthy
citizen, and yet the negroes blindly cast their
ballots in favor of WH1TTEMoRE while the
white voters as general rule remained per-
fectly Indifferent as to the result. Here is an
impressive lesson for those favoring the organ
ization of the Citizens Party, with Republi-
can as the standard-bearer. Notwithstanding
his opponent proved conclusively the infamous
character of the cadet broker in public speeches
all over the Congressional District, there was no
impression made upon the Radical ranks and
though respectable Republican was in the
field, the whites kept aloof. 1t would be we'll
to consider this lesson before making nomi-
nation by the June Convention.

Accents the Nomination.

The annexed card from Maj. J. E. BACON.
of Edgefeld, accepting the nomination for
Congress from this District, appeared several
weeks ago in the Columbia Guardian
EDeEFIELD G. a., May 16, 1870.
Mr. Editor-The presentation of my name
for Congress, in your journal of the 4th inst,
was so hattering as to have caused me to sus-
pect therein the partiality of certain personal
friendship in Columbia. Since then the can.
did notice of that nomination by "Newbery"
in the Newberry Herald5 and the cordial en-
dorsement thereof in the Edgefeld Adoertiser,
together with the receipt of encouraging letters
from divers portions of this Congressional Dis
trict, have induced me to believe that the desire
for my nomination is real and honest.
I am aware that there are many to whose
nomination, under ordinary circumstances,
there would be more general response than to
my own. Many of these honorable gentlemen,
however, have themselves advised me to stand
for the seat, and have also assured me OF their
support. In addition to this it seems to be-
generally conceded that the convention to as
semble in June, in all probability, will not
meddle with Federal politics. / therefore ac-
cept the nomination Of my friends.
The fact, as stated in the nomination from
Columbia, that hever held any political Office,
as also the statement in the Newberry Herald
that an absence from my native State during
the excitement just preceding the war had pre-
vented me from an acquaintance with the peo-
pie of the Congressional District, demands that
should give some expression of political opin-
ions.
cannot better express them in general thar
by reference to and endorsement of the reso-
lutions of the late press convention in Column
bia
The consummation devoutly to be wished is
the hearty cooperation of all classes Of the
community, regardless of color or previous con-
dition, in order 70 relieve the people from the
onerous burden of taxation so recklessly and
cumulatively cast upon them to inuaguratean
economical reform of the finances, and to ex-
pose and denounce the corruption now rioting
and fattening in high places.
will simply add that, Mt more leisure mo-
ment may direct the attention of the people,
through the medium of your valuable columns,
to certain points of vital interest to them as
citizens of the United States.
have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedent servant,

Death of Mr. Robert Breckenridge.

1t is our duty this morning to announce the
death of the Oldest male inhabitant of Ander
son county. Mr. ROBERT BRECKENRIDGE de-
parted this life at his residence, nine miles
southeast of this place, on Friday night last, in
the 9lst year of his age. He Yves native of
County Antrim, Ireland, and came to this coun-
try when quite youth. Mr.. BRAcKENRIDGE
was engaged in school-teaching the greater por-
tion of his long life, having entered upon that
avocation in Abbeville about the year 1900.
He taught consecutively from that time until
within the past few months, but for a number
of years be followed the occupation only nomi-
nally. He was universally esteemed for his
sterling worth and integrity, and numbered
among his friends, patrons and pupils nearly
every prominent citizen of Anderson for the
last half century. He was member of the
Masonic fraternity, and probably the oldest
Mason in this section of the State. He like
wise belonged to the Presbyterian denomina-
ton, and was consistent member of that
church.
He possessed the genuine humor Of his ma
tive country, and we have heard several Incl
dents in his life worth relating Its said that,
on certain occasion, Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE
visited this place, when Court was in session,
and looking around at the officers Of the Court
and members of the bar, remarked to friend
that he had whipped every one of them, inclu-
ding Judge EARLE who was presiding, and
Gen. WH1TNER then Solicitor of this circuit, as
well as the Clerk, Sheriff, and all the lawyers.
Of course, the remark was repeated until it
reached the ears of the Judge, who shortly or
dered an adjournment of the Court, and every
one began to gather around the old gentleman,
for he had then reached an advanced period in
life. The scene which followed can better be
imagined than described, and it was one upon
which this venerable citizen loved to dwell ever
afterwards. He survived the distinguished
Judge many years, and had lived to see many
of those present go down to the grave. And
now, at the close of a very long, useful and
honorable career on earth, he has been gather
ed to his fathers, and We trust that he reposes
in eternal peace.

THEWEArHER AND CRoPs.-During the past
week, heavy rains have visited several sections
of this county, damaging the growing crops.
A considerable hail-storm north of this place,
on Friday night, had disastrous effect across
narrow belt of country. The farmers are gen.
orally engaged this week in harvesting wheat
and oats. The wheat is considered fine, and
oats have improved wonderfully since the rains
set in. It is a busy time with the farmers, as
their hands are greatly needed in the corn and
cotton fields, while the grain crops are being
harvested

- The people of York county voted on the
2Sth of May upon the question of county
subscription of 100000 to the Air Line Rail-
road. This amount was necessary to secure
the location of the road through Yorkville.
The subscription was defeated by fifteen votes,
the eastern side of the county voting almost
unanimously against it. This settles the loca-
ton of the road on the line running eight or
ten miles above the town of York. The pro-
jected road from Morganton to York will cross
the Air Line at some point near Kings Noun
tain.

DEsTITUTToN IN VIRGTNIA.-Our Virginia
exchanges contain sad and gloomy accounts Of
the destitution and famine which exists III
many parts of the old Dominion. 1t will be
remembered that the prolonged drought of last
summer entirely destroyed the corn and pro-
vision crops of that State. The fearful consc-
quences of that drought are now being realized
in their most heart-rending aspects.
In the counties of Caroline, King and Queen,
Appomattox, Prince Edward Nottaway, and
the adjacent sections, the distress is greatest.
Two distinguished citizens and divines of the
State have published card in the Louisville
C6wier-Journal asking for contributions in aid
of the suffering of their vicinity. They say :
We are besieged daily, while at home, by
aged and inirm persons by mutilated soldiers,
by the widows of Confederate dead, telling the
same piteous stories of no remunerative en-
ployment, no income, no food; and no earthly
resource for obtaining it. Their petition is for
bread; meat they have not seen for many weeks,
and they say they do not presume to expect it
now The cause of this dearth are, first, the
extraordinary drought of 1869, which, on the
thinner hill farms of the poor especially, cut
off the Indian corn (the staple breadstuff of the
region) almost absolutely; the sacking of this
zone of country by the huge and omniverous
army of General Grant, from which it has
never recovered; the paralysis of enterprise by
the measures of the government, by which
property owners are disabled from giving en-
ployment to the laboring poor; and, not least,
the prevalence of petty thefts, the disorder of
our society, which have devoured the face of
the country by silent and gradual ravage, and
especially have nearly exterminated the smaller
kinds of live stock, those kinds which are usu-
ally most quickly replaced

TROUBLE ABOUT VIRGINIA.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York World
possips as follows about the condition of affairs
in Virginia The Radicals cannot find sufici-
ent excuse to remand Tennessee to military au-
thority, and the pretended outrages in Georgia
are not sufficient enough to keep up agitation
over that State much longer, so it is absolutely
necessary to furnish material for the extreme
Radicals to inveigh against unrepentant rebels,
and hence Virginia bids fair to be selected for
that purpose:
The Radical members of Congress from Vir-
ginia, as we'll Us other Radicals holding promi-
nent positions there, are very much exercised
since the recent election in Richmond concern
ing the condition of affairs in that State, and
the indications certainly point to an appeal on
their part to the Government authorities for a
renewal of military power in the State The
troops which had been stationed there have
been removed, and the nearest point from which
they can be obtained is South Carolina. The
prospect of obtaining them is by no means fat
tering, for even if General Sherman is disposed
to spare them at present his mind is not in the
least clear as to the necessity or authority for
new apportionment of the military power in
Virginia. The leading Radical officials Of the
State have determined upon strong appeal
against what they consider the usurpations of
the conservative party, encouraged, it is asser-
ted by the Governor. There is no doubt that
the recent attack in the streets of Richmond
npon Mr.. Porter the Representative to Con.
gress from that district, will be given as one OF
the reasons that Union men are not safe in the
State, and will form prominent point OF the
appeal for placing Virginia again under the
mower of the military.

MEETING OF CONVENTIONS month of
June seems to be actively devoted to prepara-
tions for the fall political campaign. Besides
the elections in Oregon and Washington Terri
tory, which will contribute something to our
knowledge of the state of feeling upon national
affairs on the Pacific coast, there will be large
number of political conventions held. The
Ohio Democratic Convention, which met on the
first day of the month, was the pioneer of a
long list, and struck boldly out upon the polit-
ical ocean. The Delaware Republican Conven-
tion will meet to-day, for the purpose of nomi-
mating State ticket and candidate for Con-
gress. The Maine Republican Convention will
assemble on the 18th, and the Temperance
(politicaI) Convention of that State will meet
on the 18th: A State Convention will be held
in South Carolina on the 18th, intended to en-
brace persons Of all political parties who favor
reform and retrenchment in the State govern
ment. The Conservative Republican Conven-
ton of West Virginia is called to meet on the
22nd, and the Vermont Republican Convention
on the same day. Finally, the Alabama Re-
publican Convention is ordered to assemble on
the 2Sth of June, and this closes the programme
for the present month. The Constitutional
Convention of Vermont, which met at Montpe-
lier on yesterday, will have under consideration
the proposed amendment comforting the right
of suffrage on women.
