them by Judge Orr, (then Governor,) many
members voted directly against the wishes of
their constituents. 1t was not d representative
body, SO far as these questions were involved,
for. they had never been discussed before the
people A subsequent election might have re-
vealed q different state of things. But, then,
did not the Radical party profit by the blunders
of their predecessors, in framing the organic
law of the State under the Reconstruction Acts? :?
Did they not have the wisdom and experience
of James L. Orr to suggest these very measures,
in order to gain popularity among the unfor-
tunate debtors of the land? Is it not a piece
of demagogism from beginning to end? All
classes of our people acquiesce in this legisla-
ton, recognize its benefits and advantages, and
will perpetuate whatsoever is good. But "the
sins of omission and commission" committed
in the name of Republicanism, are too numer-
GUS and glaring to admit the probability that
any considerable number of white people
outside of ofice-seekers and time-serving poll
ticians-will cast their fortunes with the crew
of Radical plunderers now controlling the State,
the advice of Judge Orr to the contrary not
withstanding.

Gen. Hampton on the Reform Movement.

The Abbeville Press and Banner publishes
the annexed extract from a private letter of
Gen. Hampton, addressed to citizen of that
village, which defines his own position in the
present campaign, and that of every true Caro-
linian on the pending issues between Union
Reform and Observation-Disclosures reforma-
tion of abuses and their continuance. 1t will
be endorsed, says the Press and Banner, by all
of our people, to whom the name of Hampton
is itself worth hundred arguments:
Chow does the Reform movement prosper ?
In the issues now presented and the candidates
in the field, 1 cannot see how any true man in
the State can hesitate as to his proper position
differ as we may about the platform of the new
party, see no alternative but to support its
nominees. 1 hope and pray that good may
come of the movement, for unless change is
made in the rule of the State nothing but ruin
awaits u.s."

Commissioners Of Election.

Gov. Scott has issued a proclamation for an
election to be held in the several counties of
this State, on the third Wednesday (19th) of
October next, ''to fill the vacancies in the va
rious county Offices, members of the Legisla-
ture, and the respective Congressional Dis
tricts :" said election to be conducted according
to the rules, principles and provisions prescribed
by an Act of the General Assembly, approved
March l, 1870, entitled Gan Act providing for
the general election and the manner of con-
Quoting the same" Although it is not so ex-
pressed in the proclamation, we presume that
Gov. Scott intends for the people to vote for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor on the
same day. By virtue of the authority con-
ferred by the aforesaid Act, the following per-
sons have been appointed Commissioners of
Election for Anderson county, namely: John
R. Cochran, Thomas J. Webb and Samuel
Johnson 1t is their duty to conduct the cleo
ton and appoint three managers for each cleo
ton precinct.

Keen If before the People.


on the 18th day of March, 1870, Judge james
L. Orr was interviewed by a correspondent OF
the New York Tribune and gave uttarance to
the following severe denunciation of the Rad
ical party, with which he is now associated:
saThe results of the last three years have sat
isfed the people that all the present evils of
which they complain might have been averted
byshowing to the colored voters that they intend
to maintain their new rights. Large numbers
of the best men in South Carolina are even now
willing to espouse Republican principles, and
would doubtless do so but for the distrustachich,
as qentlemen of character ard Intelligence, they
naturally entertain toacard those arho BY accident
al Circumstances, hare been placed in the lead Of
the Republican party-men 'cho do not, and
neuer did enjoy public confidence; men '0ho are
ignorant, corrupt, dishonest and unfit, By reason
of their early associations, for decent society
They we're adroit enough, however, to make the
more ignorant among the negroes believe them
to be their best friends, and by employing all the
arts of the demagogue, and an unscrupul0us use
of disgracetul agencies, they succeeded in being
elected to the most importent Offices in the
State"

va The New York World says it ''would be
interesting to know how much the head men Of
the Republican party gave Whittemore to with
draw from the Congressional race. The fellow
was doing them as much harm as Holden; and
as, unlike Holden, his case was not complica-
ted by the support of the President, it was easy
to deal with him. Of course, they bought him
of. He is no longer candidate for Congress,
but he still remains the head of the Republican
party in South Carolina" And yet this is the
party which the white people are invited by
Gov. Orr to join. 1t will take an age to reform
Whittemore, to say nothing OIL compeers and
associates in the Radical party, and we wish
our distinguished fellow-citizen, who has gone
into their ranks for that purpose good luck in
the undertaking He will have his hands
full, and it will require all of his energy and
perseverance to make the least progress to-
wards reformation

Fourth Congressional District.

A convention of delegates from the various
counties composing the Fourth Congressional
District met in Columbia on Tuesday, 10th inst,
and nominated COL I. G. McKissick, of Union,
as the Reform candidate for Congress in that
District. COL McKissick is eligible to the po-
sition, his disabilities having been removed
sometime ago. He was gallant officer in the
Confederate army, is a bold and eloquent speak
er, and will make an efficient Representative.
As there are two Radical candidates in the
field his election may be considered certain.

For the Anderson IntsNiqencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: There has been so much fear
expressed by parties in this Division who have
small orchards of apples and peaches that if
they had their fruit distilled by legally au-
thorized distiller of brandy from apples and
peaches, they might be brought into trouble,
the publication of the following extract from
the Act of 1870 may be beneficial:
"It is permissible that distiHer legally au
thorized may receive either of the fruits named,
or the undistilled products thereof, from an
other person for the purpose of distillation,
returning to that other person all or a part Of
the brandy produced therefrom but in such
case the Government recognizes no other per-
son but the distiller, and the brandy when dis
titled must be put up, marked and stamped the
same as if distilled by the distiAer from his
own fruits, and for his own consumption and
sale. Respectfully,
E. w. EVERSON,
Assistant Assessor.
