VINO CIV FORGETS

Who can forget loving word,
Though said in language plain?
1t sinks within the Utmost heart,
And is not sent in vain.
Who can forget loving glance,
A smile for US alone
All these are what we love to get,
And prize them as our own.
Who can forget a parting kiss,
The last fond lingering look?
IT'S these that after years have flown
Are found in msmory's book. sl.-8rrl.a

Another Radical Demonstration,

On Monday night last, the Court House was
filed with an audience of white and colored
people, to hear addresses from Radical speak
ers. The whites were mainly present from
curiosity, and several'by invitation of the lead
ing colored men of this vicinity. The chief
object of the meeting on the part of the blacks
was to extend welcome to R. B. Elliott, (col-
ored) the Radical nominee for Congress. The
meeting was presided over by Henry Kennedy,
colored, who introduced the speakers. H. w.
Puryis,- colored, opened the proceedings in a
speech of considerable length, in which he
abused the Reform party and its candidate for
Governor extolled the administration of
Gov. Scott, telling the colored people that Scott
had been their agod and protector" for the
last two years; made few parting filings at
eI-Congressman Hoge, and urged his hearers
to stand by the Radical party. He predicted
that Scott would become the idol of South
Carolina, irrespective of race or color, within
the next two years. His speech was scatter
ing, and principally calculated to excite old
prejudices and engender bitter feelings between
the races.
Elliott was then introduced, and went off
into dissertation upon political organizations
i, this country, in which he maintained that
there were only two great parties, and the
white people ought to adhere to the Demo
cratic party and eschew the Reformists. We
listened to him for short while only, and of
course cannot report the substance of his re-
marks. He is a smoother speaker than Purvis,
and is at no loss for words to express himself
He is confident of success, and believes that
the Radical ticket will carry the election.
Another eolerea man from Columbia gave
sample of his oratory, but we did not learn his
name. The meeting closed by singing "Rally
round the flag, boys" The speakers were fire.
quently applauded. The absence of white
Radicals in this demonstration was a marked
feature of the occasion.

The Proposed County Convention.

A communication over the signature of ere
FORM" suggests the propriety of holding
County Convention at this place on Monday,
the 18th of August, to select candidates for the
Legislature. With this end in view, it is pro-
posed to hold meetings in the various town
ships on Saturday, 18th instant, to choose dele
gates to the proposed Convention. The sug-
gestion, it may be we'll to state, emanates from
Pendleton, and in our judgment commends
itself to the good sense of the people generally.
Let each township assemble at the point here
tofore designated for township meetings, and
every citizen should be present and havea voice
in the choice of delegates. In this way, there
would be general expression of opinion as to
the most suitable persons to represent this
county in the next Legislature. Where there
is decided preference for any particular indi-
vidual, the township meetings might express
that partiality and instruct the delegates to
urge its views upon the Convention. We deem
it matter of prime importance that the peo-
pie should be consulted as to the most suitable
candidates, and we trust that every citizen will
feel obligated to attend the township meetings
and by selecting the best men in their midst as
delegates to assist in this effort to obtain fair
and unbiased expression of the popular will in
regard to nominations for Senator and Repre-
sentatives. We hope to hear from every town
ship that the suggestion has been endorsed and
acted upon, and that there will be full and
fair representation of the people on the 18th
inst.

Congressional Nominations.

The Radicals of the Second, Third and Fourth
Congressional Districts of this State held Con-
ventions last week in Columbia, for thepurpose
of selecting candidates for Congress. We will
take them up in the order named.
The Convention of the Second Congressional
District, now represented by G. c. Bowen, a
white carpet-bagger, resulted in split between
the adherents of Bowen and those of R. G.
DeLarge, colored. Both factions held subse-
quent meetings, and nominated their favorites
for the position, and DeLarge and Bowen will
go before the people for settlement of the
question.
In the Third Congressional District, there
was not much trouble in selecting candidate.
Rival delegations appeared from Abbeville and
Orangeburg counties and it is stated that the
committee on Credentials had a long and
stormy session, lasting six hours. When their
report was adopted, the Convention proceeded
to nominate candidate for Congress, which
resulted in r. B. Elliott (colored) receiving 19
votes and Solomon L. Hoge9 votes. This set
tied the claims of Mr.. Hoge, and placed him
upon the shelf. He is now at perfect liberty
to take trip to his native cline, and we wish
him safe and speedy journey.
In the Fourth Congressional District, Messrs.
A. S. Wallace, c. C.. Puffer and Reuben Tom
linson (all white) were the aspirants for the
nomination, and the published proceedings
show that Mr.. Wallace received a majority of
votes, and was declared the regular pominee
A card has been published, over the signature
cf prominent Radicals, denouncing the pro-
ceedings, and claiming that Wallace's friends
controlled the matter by packing the Conren-
ton.
Delegates from the counties composing the
First Congressional District will meet at Flor
cnce, in Darlington county, on the 10th Of
August, for the purpose of selecting candi-
date Whttemore is seeking this nomination,
and the friends of ]. H. Rainey (colored) are
urging his claims for the position.

son why cotton yarn and cloth cannot be much
more cheaply produced in the South than at
the North, Cotton, in its unmanufactured state,
;s very bulky commodity, and dangerous
and risky article of transportation. 1t wastes
immensely, also, as dirty or wet portions are
unsaleable except as paper stock. line estao-
lishment of factories need not cost any more at
the South than at the North. 1t is conceded
by manufacturers that steam power, oil things
considered, is as cheap as natural water power,
so the absence of water privileges need not
initiate against the erection of cotton factories.
Labor can be obtained as plentifully and cheap
ly in the cotton growing States as in the NORTH
ern or Eastern States, and Southern ports oiIer
as ready facilities for the expectation OF the
manufactured goods. There is every encour-
agement for the establishment OF the cotton
manufacture in the South, and its Inauguration
in the Carolinas would be as beneficial to those
States as it has already proved, even from us
limited trial, to Virginia and Georgia.
The Nashville Union and American makes
the annexed statement of facts and figures,
which will prove interesting, if not convinc-
ing:
The cotton factory at Augusta, Georgia, runs
$4,000 spindles, and Senator Sprague says that
it is the best managed institution of the KIND
in the country. The amount of capital inves-
ted is 5000, 900, and for several years past the
annual dividend to the stockholders has been
twenty per cent. The daily product is 25,50o
yards of manufactured cloth. The operatives
number 500, and their monthly wages amount
to $4,000. No share of the stock, costing
originally $780, can be bought for less than
S157. 1t is stated that the families connected
with the operatives In the factory number
twenty-five hundred souls. This is strong in
ducement to build up cotton factories in every
portion of the South.

The Radical State Convention.

This body assembled in Columbia on the 26th
of July, and remained in session two days.
Except the main results Of the Convention, the
proceedings are not interesting to persons out
side the Radical party, and hence their publi-
cation in these columns is pretermitted The
colored delegate. took the lead, and had every
thing pretty much their own way. Carpet
baggers were at discount, and with one nota-
BILE exception, the proceedings were controlled
principally by the colored men. This excep-
tion was no less character than B. T. White
more, of cadet-selling notoriety. He was
chairman of the two most important commit
tees-Credentials and Platform. We give his
report upon the Platform in another column,
and will take another occasion to comment upon
its declarations and promises.
The nominations for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor took place on Wednesday, when
Gov. R. K. Scott was chosen by acclamation as
a candidate for reelection, and A j. Ransier,
of Charleston, was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor. The nominee for Governor has
made record peculiar to himself, and with
which the people are daily becoming more IA
miliar. Mr.. Ransier is q respectable colored
man, and has hitherto been moderate and for
bearing towards his political opponents, by
whom he was respected. He is in bad conlpa-
ny, however, and must now share the odlum
which attaches to defence of the corrupt and
prohigate administration of Scott.

For the anderson Mtelliqencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: Many citizens who favor a
county nomination for the Legislature suggest
the propricty, in order to have the whole voice
of the county, of holding Township meetings
on Saturday, the 18th inst, for the purpose of
electing delegates (say five) to attend meet
ing at Anderson c. H. on Monday, the 18th
inst, to make said nominations. 1t is hoped
that no Township will neglect to send its dele
gates. REFORM.

Mai. John E. Bacon.

This gentleman was present at the Reform
Mass Meeting last Wednesday, and made the
acquaintance of many of our citizens. The
time occupied by the regular programme did
not admit of his addressing the people on that
occasion, but we learn that he was serenaded
the night previous by the Anderson Brass
Band, and delivered short and appropriate
speech in response to the compliment. The
Radical nomination for Congress had not been
made at the time, and Maj. Bacon will yet be
heard from on the issues of the day.

GONE GL1MMERING.-It is said that Gen.
Worthington, the old-line abolitionist the ex-
member of Congress from Nevada, and former
Minister to the Argentine Confederation, has
departed the State-vamosed the ranche-bid
farewell to the glorious Palmetto, and is seek
ing distinction as an orator in other elimes
His friend and favorite, Solomon Z. Hege, fail
ed to receive the nomination for Congress, and
Worthington's occupation is gone. He has nc
more campaign speeches for the enlightenment
of the down-trodden and oppressed colored peo-
pie of South Carolina. Only two weeks since
this valiant General was in our midst and his
zeal and enthusiasm over the future of this
commonwealth knew no bounds. But now,
alas he is gone to unknown regions, and per-
haps will never realize the beautiful picture
drawn in such vivid colors by his master hand.
The rejection of Hoge, and the evident growth
OF an antipathy among the colored people to
adventures of his stripe, was a sad warning to
Worthington; and with his white stove-pipe
hat and blue silk umbrella, this matchlcss
earpet-bagger has sought "fresh fields and pas
lures new" He discerned the Handwriting
upon the WALL" and has left his colored friends
to take care of themselves, without the aid of
his mighty intellect and towering genius. And
SO g long farewell to Worthingtonl

The New York Tribune on whittemore

The annexed extract from the editorial col
umns of the New York Tribune is forcibly di-
rected to District Attorney Corbin, of this State
Here is the charge and the evidence to sustain
it, and it only remains for Mr.. Corbin to apply
the law, which is also given. Will he dis
charge this plain and imperative duty, or will
he connive at the criminal remaining out of the
hands of offended justice? Whttemorc was a
prominent character in the Radical State Con-
vention last week, and this damaging arraign-
ment is serious blot upon the party, from a
Radical source of undoubted authority. Will
Mr. Corbin seek to reform" his party by the
prompt indictment of his friend and co-laborer,
as suggested by the Tribune:
We see it stated that Mr. Whittenlore, the
rejected cadet-peddling Congressman, purposes
becoming once more candidate for the place
from which he has been elected. We should
like to know how it happens that this criminal
is at large, to run for any office. Who is the
District Attorney in South Carolina, charged
with the duty of prosecuting notorious often
ders against the statutes of the United States =?
Why has he for months neglected this plain
case, and how much longer does he propose to
neglect it?
Here is the law which Mr. Whittcmorc has
broken:
"If any member of Congress shall, directly
or indirectly, receive any pecuniary or other
valuable compensation for procuring any office
or place under the Government, he shall be
liable to indictment for misdcmcanor in a
United States Court, and upon conviction shall
pay fine not exceeding $4,000, and be i'm
prisoned in the pcnitcntiary for Il term not ex-
cccding two years, and he thereafter disquali-
fed from holding any office o. honor. profit. or
trust, under the Government of the United
States"
That the proper officer may have no doubt as
to there being sufficient evidence of guilt to
warrant the promptcst proceedings, we recall
to his attention this almost unanimous dcclara-
ton of the House of Representatives
"Resolred, That b. F. Whittcmore late mem-
Der from the First District of South Carolina,
did make appointments to the Military Acade-
my at West Point and the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, in violation of law, and that such
appointments were influenced by pecuniary
premises has been such as to show him unwor-
thy of seat in the House Of Representatives
and is therefore condemned us conduct lln-
worthy of the representative of the people"
Now why has not this notorious offender been
brought to justice? Why arc We threatened
with the disgrace Of another canvass in which
he shall be prominent candidate? Why
must we be subjected to the possible humilia-
ton of having this man again presented for
membership at the bar of the House? We call
upon the District Attorney and the Courts to
do their too-long neglected duty And we call
upon Attorney-Gencral Akcrman to see that
they neglect it no longer. Open the penitcn-
tiary doors for him, and let US have an end of
Whittemore
