For Congress-.

BY reference to our advertising columns, it
will bo seen that a call appears for a meeting
Of the citizens of Oconee, in the Court House,
on Monday next, to appoint delegates to the
Convention to be held in Columbia, on the
10th instant, to nominate candidate for
Congress in the Fourth Congressional dis
trict. The people of this district have it in
theirpower toclect good man to represent them
in Congress. 1t can only be accomplished,
however, by going into the proposed Conven-
tion, soliciting standard bearer worthy Of
our suffrage, and then entering zealously into
the canvass, thereby insuring success. We
hope to see u large meeting.

The BANKRUPT Act.

Congress has adopted an amendment to the
Bankrupt Act, which confines the fifty per
cent Rule to such individual debts of the
applicant as were contracted subsequent to
the lst of January, 1869 Under the law as
1t now stands, any person can get discharge
from his debts contracted prior to that date
whether his estate pays anything or not.

Fourth District. The convention met at 10

Court at Pickens.

The July term Of the Court, for Pickons
county, commenced on Monday the 25th ulti-
mo, Judge ORR presiding. His Honor, after
seven or eight weeks of successive onerous
judicial labor, ahowssigns offatigue, although
he preserves his admirable manner on tho
:. bench.
Judge ORR's charge to the grand jury was
plain and practical, referring to the interests
Of the County in reference to public buildings,
poor, roads, 60, 60. The grand jury failed
to make favorable recommendation for con-
tinuing the joint poor farm for the two Coun-
ties, which will result in the sale of the prem.
jaes.
The State only prosecuted three or four
cases--she most serious, one for perjury
falling Of conviction. The peace and good
order prevailing in our sister County drew
forth most favorable commentator from the
(. bench, bar, &c.
The civil business was disposed Of by
Wednesday evening, and Court adjourned
early Thursday morning; leaving very few
cases on the dockets.

Reform in Pickens.

Our ncighbors "across the border" are
alive to the necessity of Reform in the af-
fairs Of our State Government. They gave
Judge CARPENTER, Gen. BUTLER and Gen.
KEasHAw, q warm reception. On Monday,
Judge ORR invited Judge CARPENTER to
seat beside him on the bench. Later in the
day, Court took recess, when, through Con.
EAsLEY, it was announced that the distin-
guished gentlemen present would address the
people in the grove near by.
Gen. KERsAAw was first introduced, and
made one of his best speeches. Gen. BUT
LEn followed in strain fully in accord with
his audience But the heavy artillery was
reserved for the close, Judge CARPENTER
coming forward, and delivering one of the
most damaging speeches to the Radical Party,
which it has been our good fortune to hear.
Ex.Gov. PERRY was on the stand, and was
enthusiastic in favor of the Reform cause.

GY- From accounts received, there seems
to have been but little harmony in the Radi-
cal Congressional nominating conventions,
held in Columbia on the 28th ultimo. From
The Second District, the Charleston "Bowen"
delegation, headed by Hon. +. A. SAWYER,
was rejected, and tho DeLarge delegatian,
headed by MAcKEY, was seated, This re-
suited in the nomination of DcLarge, (color-
ed,) for Representative from the Second
District. The Bowen faction also claim the
nomination, and it is reported both candidates
will run. In the Fourth District, too, there
was split, two counties Withdrawing from
the convention. The remaining counties
nominated a. S. WALLACE for the place.
Whether EoaE, in tho Third District, will
yield to "Elliot," the nominee Of the party,
remains to be seen. The convention for the
First District will hold its meeting at Florence,
on thH 10th Of August, Wn1rrEMoRE, it, is
thou. will be the nominee, though there
is every ,ldication Of split in this District.
