Temperance Celebration.

The second anniversary of the re-crganiza-
ton of Anderson Division, No. 20, Sons of
Temperance, was duly celebrated on Saturday
last, according to the programme. The pro-
cession was formed in front of the Division
Room at eleven o'clock a. M, and headed by
the Anderson Brass Band, marched to the Bap-
tist Church. The exercises were opened with
prayer by Mr.. A. B. TOWERS, after which.
short and appropriate addresses were delivered
by Rev. w. D. BEVERLY and Rev. w. A.
HODGES. The audience was largely composed
of ladies, and doubtless the threatening aspect
of the weather prevented more general at
tendance Every friend of Temperance, how
ever, was encouraged to persevere in the work
of ameliorating the condition of mankind, and
the reverend speakers urged the little band to
greater efforts in the cause of morality and
virtue, and against the evils of intemperance
to be met with on every hand. After the ben
ediction was pronounced, the procession was
again formed and marched back to the hall,
where the members were dismissed.

Hon. F. A. SAWYER.

We are again placed under obligations to
Senator SAWYER, of this State, for interesting
public documents, and among them copy of
one of his recent speeches on the bill to en-
force the fifteenth amendment. We have had
occasion to commend Mr.. SAWYER, at various
times during his official career, for moderation
and fairness towards his political opponents,
and heretofore suggested that the Republican
party might profit, in the estimation of the
country, by an adherence to his just and man
ly course. His recent speeches, while strongly
enough partisan and exhibiting fealty to the
views so long advocated by him, are strikingly
in contrast with the utterances of his political
associates in this State. he is staunch Re-
publican, but nevertheless actuated by an hon
est desire to serve the people Of South Carolina
impartially and fearlessly. He thrusts the
past behind him, and looking to the future OF
a united country, advocates measures for the
amelioration and disenthrallment of the en-
tire people. In this light, we commend him
before our readers, and in doing so it is scarce
ly necessary to declare that, outside of fixed
and irreyocable facts, we are not one whit
nearer to Mr.. SAWYER in political afiliation
than when he was elected to the high office he
has filed SO creditably for the last two years.
His conduct has been such as we have indica-
ted, and we would give him just praise for
such an honorable course.

State Press Association.

We trust that the members of the press in
this State have not overlooked the actien ofthe
Press Conference, in March last, providing for
the organization of Press Association. The
weightier matters suggested on that occasion
are likely to receive due consideration at the
hands of the public, and we would impress our
brethren with the importance of perfecting an
organization for their own advantage and i'm
provement. 1t is unnecessary to define the OBJ
jects and scope of Press Association, as these
will be best determined by the body itself
But, in our judgment, if there was no other in
ducement than to be thrown together in So
cial and friendly manner, this wouldproye suf-
fciently remunerative and advantageous to go
forward with the organization. At various
times, since the war closed, we have urged the
propriety of such an Association, and there has
been conconsiderable discussion as to its proba-
BILE benefits. The suggestion by the Press Con-
ference met with general appreciation, and we
hope that every newspaper in the State will be
represented. The meeting to organize Press
Association will be held in Columbia on
Wednesday, 18th inst, which is the time and
place appointed for the meeting of The State
Convention.

Greenville City Club.

Our neighbors are about to inaugurate fea-
ture of pleasing importance for the social inn
provement of the mountain city. We learn
from the Enterprise that number of gentle
men have organized under the name of the
"City Club" and will undertake to provide for
the enjoyment and entertainment of strangers
sojourning in their midst. Officers have been
elected, and club room secured and fitted up
in an attractive style. The society will like
wise provide newspapers and periodicals for
the entertainment of their guests. The initia-
ton fee is five dollars-monthly dues one dol
lar, and the membership is limited to thirty ;
and every new member must receive an unani-
NOUS vote. These are the chief points Of in
terest in an organization destined to promote
the welfare of visitors and to enhance the al
ready favorable reputation of Greenville for
hospitality and cordiality. We desire to sug-
gest, nYiew of the rapid strides being made
by our rsister town towards advancement and
improvement, that Anderson is getting far be-
hind in the race, and unless the vis inertie is
cast aside, we may expect only retrogressien in
all that makes community attractive and de-
sirable.

Circuit Court.

Up to this writing, the Court continues in
session, and will probably hold on for several
days. The juries were dismissed on last satur-
day, and the time of the Court has been occu-
pied this week with Equity business, large
amount of which has accumulated upon the
dockets. In many cases, we believe, the
parties have effected compromises, and thus
obviated the necessity for long and tedious
trials, thereby saving much valuable time.
Judge Orr presides with his customary pa
tielace and urbsnity, while his distinguished
ability as iurist wins admiration on all sides.
Among the visiting members of the bar, we
have observed during the present term, Messrs.
McGowAN, BURT and CorHRAN, of Abbeville;
Messrs. TREscor and JONES, of Greenville,
and Mr.. NORTON, of Oconee.

Rather Puzzled.

We were in Columbia the other week, and
met up with our friend BALL, of the Laurens-
vile Herald, who has gazetted us upon his re-
turn home in the following style. Of course,
we must plead guilty to the "soft impeach-
ment," and admit that We have rowing pro-
pensity, especially when there is any probabil-
ity of joining hands with true and generous
friend like our Laurens confrere He speak
ing of several members of the "press gang"
then in Columbia, and in referring to the writer
says:
By the by, we were satisfied we would see
the latter at some turn, when we left home
We have never yet failed to come up with him
first or last. If any editor in this country can
be at more places than one at one and the same
time, it is that same editor of the Anderson
LatelIgencsr, and we are nightly in doubt if
there amt more than one of these "Jeemses"-

the tempting bait will prove efectual, as their

This feature is the only change from the ste
reotyped phrases of the whole pack of swim
dlers. We advise every one to give them
wide berth, and not be deceived by their spe-
cious offers.

Organization of the Militia.

The Radical organ reports that considerable
activity prevails in the Adjutant-Generafs De-
partment. The plan for organizing the mill
tia contemplates two Divisions, four Brigades,
andfourteen Regiments. The First and Second
Congressional Districts will constitute the First
Division of Militia, and the Third and Fourth
Congressional Districts will constitute the Sec
ond Division. Each Congressional District
will form a Brigade. Anderson county will
have four companies and Abbeville county will
furnish six companies, to make up the 11th
Regiment, Srd Brigade. The Governor is now
engaged in making appointments, and num-
ber are already announced, though none as yet
for this section of country.

Savannah Valley Railroad.

A meeting of the stockholders of this Road
will be held at Abbeville G. 81. on Wednesday
next, and it is earnestly requested that all the
stock be represented on that occasion, as mat
tiers of great importance will be brought before
the meeting. The Augusta Chronicle and Sen
ti,el, in stating the call for this meeting, says
that 'fthose who have called for the revival of
this project are deeply in earnest, and are de-
termined to put forth all their energies to at
tain success" With this assurance, we think
our people ought to enter heartily into the
plans proposed, SO far as they are able, and en-
deavor to assist in every practical way to con-
struct a line of communication destined to
become both popular and profitable. The
proposition to make the route from Augusta to
Anderson should enlist warm cooperation
at this point, and we trust there will be strong
delegation of its original friends and support
ers at the contemplated meeting.

The Meeting Next Monday.

A call appears in another column for
meeting of the citizens of Anderson county,
to be held in the Court House on Monday next,
for the purpose Of considering the propriety of
appointing delegates to the State Convention.
This meeting should be largely attended, and
the question before it fully and fairly discussed
We have opposed the State Convention, but
the fact that twenty-four counties have already
taken action towards securing representation
in that body induces us to withdraw our oppo-
ssition, and we esdisposed to unite with our
fellow -citizens in arranging for faithful and
earnest delegation from this county. We still
believe it unwise for the Convention to nomi-
nate a. State ticket, and are inclined to think
that this view of the situation is concurred in
by majority of our political friends. Bethis
as it may, however, the State will meet in
council on the 18th instant and Anderson
should be represented. With fair deliberation
and earnest discussion, we can have no fears
that aught but the best interests of the State
WILDE considered. Under these circumstances,
we would urge the presence of every citizen
interested in devising means for the security of
better government at the meeting on Monday

A CoNTEMPTIBLE TRICK.-Under this head
ing, the Washington correspondent of the New
York World relates the circumstances atten-
ding the seating of WALLACE from the Fourth
Congressional District Uf this State:
One of the most contemplate tricks that ever
disgraced any legislative body was imposed on
the House to-day by John Cessna, member
from Pennsylvania, who is well known through
out that State as one of its most unscrupulous
Radical politicians Just after the journal was
read, and when there was barely quorum in
the hall, Cessna jumped up, called up the case
of Wallace against Simpson, of South Carolina,
and moved the previous question on the case.
The speaker quickly put it, and in less time
than # takes to write this much of this dis
graceful story, Wallace was Radical member
of the House. 1t was plain to every one that
not twenty members of the House knew in the
confusion what was going on. The case had
never been debated one single word-a fact in
itself without precedent in the history of an
election case in Congress. Even the parliament
tary reconsideration was put and tabled at once,
thus showing how sharply the game had been
arranged. aTalk about election frauds in New
York" said Mr.. James Brooks in vigorous
protest against the trick that had been played,
f"when members are sworn into this House
through fraud, and elected here on this floor )"
and he went on to show that Simpsons MAORI
ty was over five thousand. The Democrats
fought manfully for reopening of the case,
but the Radicals did not seem inclined to re-
treat from the disgraceful fix into which they
had been forced by this notorious Pennsylva

Sunday School Celebration.

In accordance with the established custom
of the Baptist Sunday School of this place, the
fifth Sabbath in May was duly observed by the
teachers and pupils engaging in public cele-
brs.tion, to which the friends of the cause were
cordially invited. The exercises were opened
with singing and prayer, succeeded by ad-
dresses from Rev. Messrs. MURRAY and BEv-
ERLY, both of which were instructive and en-
tertaining. The selection of hymns for the
occasion seemed opposite, and the children
heartily united in rendering the music delight
full and soul-inspiriting. We congratulate the
officers of the School upon the success of the
celebration, and assure them that their efforts
are duly appreciated. Every fifth Sunday is
observed in this way, and we can guarantee
every one, of whatever denomination or sect,
that an hour may be pleasantly and proftably
employed in attendance upon these exercises

The Fall Elections.

The elections next fall will decide not only
the complexion of the next House of Repre-
sentatives in the United States Congress, but
likewise, to certain extent the character of
the Senate. Twenty Senators will be elected
by the State Legislatures. Among those whose
terms will expire on the 4th of March next is
included Senator ROBERTSON, of this State,
whose place will have to be filled by the Legis-
lature next winter. The Democrats will prob
ably lose one Senator in Minnesota, and gain
in New Jersey, Oregon, and perhaps one or
two Southern States

The Feniau Invasion.

The telegraphic dispatches for the past week
have brought great deal of sensational news
from the border of Canada, resulting from an
other Fenian invasion. But it has come to
pass already that the movement is dead fail
ure and the leaders are now censured for their
hasty and ill-advised conduct The gathering
hosts of Irishmen from all sections of the
country at first indicated that there was gen.
eral and well-arranged effort to invade Canada
successfully but the British soldiers were con-
centrated with energy and spirit, and aided by
the civil authorities of the United States, the
movement was speedily brought to grief. An
engagement took place on Friday last, result
ing in defeat and disaster for the Fenians, and
a loss of twenty killed and twenty wounded on
their side. The men were demoralized, and
anxious to get home. At last advices, no def
mite plan for future operations had been agreed
upon. Previous to this engagement, the Uni
ted States Marshal arrested Gen. O'NEILL,
who is at the head of the Fenians. He is now
charged with bad faith to his followers, as it is
believed that he desired an arrest by the civil
authorities, and made no effort to prevent it.
The men enlisted in this affair deserve our
sympathy, for their confidence has been abused
by their leaders, and their warm-hearted devo-
tion to old Ireland has been successfully used
to their own disadvantage and for the purpose
of advancing the schemes of unprincipled men.

The FEDERAL DEAD.-On Monday last,
throughout the whole nation, the graves of the
Federal dead, wherever they lie, were decora-
ted with flowers and evergreens. The Charles
ton Courier, in referring to the memorial cere-
monies in that city, says:
nad so5;erps p1opes saxa up their lives should
hold them in grateful remembrance, and while
of course our osympathies and affections were
bestowed upon those who battled against the
Federal soldiery we rejoice to see the memorial
custom observed At the graves of the brave
soldiers who fell on either side we should forget
the bitterness of party feeling, and at least re-
spect the homage paid to the memory of the
dead, =.
