To the Officers of the Bible Societies and Others
eo.nraerntinn arith The American RihLe ISociefu

To the Officers Of the Bible Societies and Others
co-operatinq with the american Bible Society
in South Carolina.
DEAR BRETHREN: Permit me to direct your
attention to the following important instruc-
tions, from the Secretaries of the American BIZ
Bile Society, Bible House, Astor Place, New
York city:
1. "The Committee on Distribution have in
structed us to state that hereafter they will ex-
pect all applications for grants of books by
auxilaries, and so far as practicable all others,
to receive the endorsement Of the Agent from
aUhose State the requests are made, together with
full information of the facts which enforce
each case They are especially desirous to
know the extent of destitution, the efforts made
by applicants to help themselves, or to pay in
part for books received from our Depository, or
to contribute to the cause the number and char
acter of the population to be supplied, and, in
fine. all that may assure the committee of the
propriety of these requests. -
: g. Persons needing Bibles and Testaments
for Sabbath Schools, or distribution among all
readers alike, must apply to the officers of the
Bible Society, in the cityor court house town,
or to branch Bible societies or Bible committees
in the County where they reside; and, if they
cannot be supplied, the officers will please re-
quest me to procure books for their Society, to
meet the demand, from the American Bible So
ciety.
8. Persons in writing to me to procure dona-
tions ofeplain books direct from the parent So
ciety must state the number needed and give
full and distinct directions for forwarding.
Sign all applications officially. Whatever they
wish to say to me besides their requests for
books must be written ON separate sheet.
4.4To meet the demand for the word of God
In this State, the Bible societies and friends of
the Bible cause are earnestly requested to in

Society sent to auxiliaries and other benevolent
institutions in South Carolina over $4,000 vol

tions for distribution among white and colored
persons, and ierery patriot and Christian should
esteem it pleasure and a privilege,to contrib

Letter from Judge Orr.

We find the following communication in the
Columbia Pleniu, and in justice to the writer,
give it an insertion in our columns:
COLUMBIA, September 8, 1870
MIR. EDITOR: The press of this State, in
commenting on the letter recently published by
me in favor of the election of Scott and Ran
sier, have charged that my position was taken
by reason of an arrangement between myself
and the leaders of the Republican party; chat
I was to be elected to the Senate of the United
States the ensuing winter. In reply, beg to
state, first: That have never had any confer
ence with Governor Scott, or any other Repub-
lican, directly or indirectly, with reference to
the Senatorial election; and second: That I
have not been, am not now, and aOiU not be a
candidate for the United States Senate, at the
approaching session of the Legislature.

TURBINE WATER WHEELS, ENGINES, &C.
In inviting attention to the card of Messrs.
Poole & Hunt, Engineers and Founders, OF
Baltimore, notice is especially called to their
celebrated "Leffel's American Turbine Water
Wheel" which has established by its superior
qualities national reputation. Some idea
may be had of the favor this Water Wheel
has found, from the fact that there are now
about five thousand in operation.
Messrs. Poole g. Hunt are besides thorough
Engineers and Founders, and have unsurpassed
facilities for supplying everything in their line,
including Steam Engines, Flour, Grist and Saw
Mill Machinery, shafting, Pulleys, &c. ~.

The General Election Law.

We have heretofore called attention to the
singular provisions of the general election law,
passed at the last session Of the Legislature,
but in view.of the present canvass, and for the
information of all interested, it may be well to
glance once more at the most prominent points.
The Governor is authorized by this law to ap-
point in and for each county three Commis-
sioners of Election. These appointments have
been made, and in nearly every instance Gov.
Scott has appointed members Of his own party.
The Commissioners are authorized to designate
the election precincts and appoint the mana
gers. They are likewise required to provide
one box for each election precinct, and each
box is to be locked before delivered to the
managers, and the keys retained by the Com
missioners. Within three days after the cleo
ton, the managers are required to surrender
the poll list and the box containing the ballots
to the Commissioners. That is to say, the
election will be held on Wednesday, 18th OF
October, and the return of the managers must
be made on or before the Saturday following.
The custody of the ballot-boxes is then retain
ed by the Commissioners, under the provisions
of this law, until the following Tuesday, when
they are to meet in some convenient place at
the county seat, and proceed to count the votes
of each election precinct. The result of the
election will not be known until the Commits
sioners of Election are through counting all
the ballots of every precinct, and they are
allowed ten days from the time of their first
meeting Tuesday, as Board of Canyassers to
conclude their labors.
It will be seen that the managers are merely
the agents of the Commissioners to receive the
ballots, and that they have no part in counting
out the votes. The polls are opened at such
places as may be designated at o'clock in the
morning and close at o'clock in the afternoon,
and are to be kept open during these hours
without intermission or adjournment. The
managers are required to administer to each
person offering to vote an oath that they are
qualified to vote at this election, according to
the Constitution of this State, and that they
have not voted previously. There is no regis
tration of voters, and only one general ticket
which shall contain the names of every person
voted for, and also the Offices to which such
persons are intended to be chosen. This gen,
eral ticket must be folded so as to conceal the
contents, and each voter is required to insert
his ballot in the box. The managers are thus
prohibited from taking the ballots into their
hands for the purpose of depositing them into
the box, as is often the case in conducting elec,
-tions.
These are the chief features of the law which
will govern the approaching election, and be,
lieving that it will prove interesting to many
persons who are unacquainted with its provis-
ions, we have taken the pains to condense
the same for the benefit of all concerned.

The War in Europe.

The telegraphic dispatches for the last week
are not sufficiently important even to justify a
summary, to the exclusion of other matter.
The recognition of the French Republic By the
government of the United States is the most
decided point of interest to our readers. The
Prussians are still advancing upon Paris, and
the latest news reports an advance guard with
in nine miles of the city. The main army has
halted twenty-five miles from Paris, at the
special request of Bismarck, to consider the
Prussian-Austria proposition for an armistice.
1t is also reported that the Prussian advance
was stopped in consequence of repeated dis
patches sent by the United States government
to Berlin. The tenor of these dispatches is
supposed to be a proposition for cessation OF
hostilities. The English journals likewise urge
Intervention as duty and right, the neglect OF
which would be dishonorable to England.
These facts would seem to indicate at least q
temporary lull across the water and probable
suspension of active operations for the time
being.
Advices regarding the Emperor's treatment
state that he is more honored as guest than a
prisoner. King William has given orders that
Napoleon be treated as the sovereign of France.
The Empress Eugenie and the Prince Imperial
remain in seclusion at Hastings, England.
1t is reported that the casualties of the war
on both sides exceed 100000; more than halt
of that number are dead or manned for life.

A Card.

Mr.. EDITOR: My name was put in
nomination on last Monday in the Convention
at Anderson by friend, as q candidate for the

nation was made without my knowledge OF

date for said Office by. friends, and as I have
said time and again if I was candidate

clare myself an Independent candidate without
regard to party, so that if elected 1 can enter
upon the duties without being under obliga-
tions to any party.
