Arrested.

We learn that Messrs. John M. Simpson,
Thos. A. Sherard, Claude S. Beatty and A. G.
Cook, all prominent and influential citizens OF
the Dark Corner, have been arrested upon war
rants issued by DR.. ]. L. Crumley, United
States Commissioner, charged with unlawful
interference with and exercising undue lnfu-
ence upon colored voters at the election IN Oc-
tober last. The information upon which these
warrants are predicated was furnished by three
colored men of this town. who were sent to
the Dark Corner precinct on the day OF elec-
ton, but by whose authority and for what pur-
pose we have not ascertained.
The gentlemen aboye named have undergone
a preliminary examination before U. s. Com
missioner Crumley, but 30 far the evidence does
not sustain the charges against them. We are
satisfied that this prosecution is based upon
prejudice and partisan rancor, not only against
the accused, but towards the citizens generally
of the Dark Corner, irrespective of race or
color, as that locality is thoroughly Democratic
and anti Radical
1t is undoubtedly true that there were fraud
ulent and illegal practices during the late cleo
tion in this county, but they we're confined to
the Radical party, so far as our information
extends. Now, that the ball has been set in
motion, we think it the duty of every good cit
izen to lend his aid and influence to ferret out
the offenders. Many negroes voted under age
and some of them voted twice, while there is
abundant proof to sustain charges of intimida-
tion and bribery against many of their leading
men. Let few examples hesmade, in order to
teach lesson to intermeddling, oficious char
acters.

PUBLIC RoADs.-Ths following extract is
from the report of Simeon Corley, Esq, Com
missioner Of Agricultural Statistics for this
State:
I A serious drawback has always existed in
this State to proper development of our agri-
cultural resources. =.
The road system is defective in almost every
particular. Our railroads are exorbitant in
their tariff on freights, and our country roads
are disgrace to civilization.
If there is one Improvement more than
another which our State now absolutely needs,
it is a better quality of roads, and greater care
in keeping them in good order.
Thousands of dollar, are annually lost in
breakage and unnecessary transportation which
could all be saved if this single improvement
could be made in our system of economy.
A disposition on the part of our people to
make some advance and progress in this dirsc.
ton, by submitting to light taxation to build
and construct roads and keep them in repair, is
all that will ever bring this state of things
about.
The last report of the National Department
of Agriculture at Washington, exhibits COM
parative total, showing the cost of keeping up
county roads in the various States, and from this
we find that South Carolina stands the very
lowest on the list While some of the States
pay as high as $50 to she mile, this State pays
but 81. Further comment is unnecessary

The House met at IL IN.
Nh. Hurley announced to the House the
death of Mr.. Daniel Kinsler member from
Lexington, and moved that the House now adj
journ until tomorrow, at 12 m.,, in respect to
his memory; and that a committee be appoin-
ted to draft resolutions.
Mr. Duncan, of Spartanburg, seconded the
motion, and delivered the following remarks !:
I rise to second the motion of the gentleman
from Charleston. 1t is true, my acquaintance
with Mr.. Kinsler dates back only few days
since our coming together here. He sat, sir,
Immediately in my rear, and discovered from
the first that humility and modesty were his
distinguishing characteristics. From the be-
ginning to the close of his short career here, in
all his conversations with me, which were fire..
quent, the leading idea snd chief concern with
him, and which seemed to oPpress him, was the
responsibility of the duties devolving upon him
as Representative, and how he might best and
faithfully discharge that trust. His vacant seat
tells us that the State has lost valuable ser
want, and forcibly impresses the truth, that In
the midst of life We are in death. That he has
been so suddenly and mysteriously taken, rem
ders it additionally meet and proper that We
pause and think of theiz sad event. there
fore second the motion to adjourn.
The House then adjourned.

Our Cotton Trade.

The increasing business of Anderson SIS
cotton market has induced an examination into
the facts concerning the shipment of cotton
from this depot. The accommodating Agent,
o. r. P. FAINT, ESQ.,, has furnished us with the
following:
Number of bales shipped from Anderson
Depot from Sept. 1st TO Dec. 1st, 1870. .3700
Number of bales on platform ready fol
shipment Dec. 1st, lS7O..".......----..--- $50
Total number of bales.
This is large increase over any previous
year since the war, and we have no doubt will
compare favcrably with any market in the up
country. Some of our neighbors would dowel
to examine the figures before claiming to excel
as cotton market. Our merchants engaged
fn the cotton trade are numerous, active and
enterps;sing, and steadily maintain the reputa-
ton of this market as among the foremost in
this region. As general rule, they pay high
or prices than any neighhAsipg town, and this
fact is so we'll understood thai wagons are con-
stantly upon our streets from adjoining coun-
ties in. this State. and Georgia.
