The Public Speaking next Wednesday

The preliminary meeting suggested in our
columns last week was held on Saturday last,
and appropriate committees were appointed to
make preparations for the mass meeting on
Wednesday next, 9th of July. The Commit
tee of arrangements make their announcement
in another column. We trust that the people
are taking an interest in this matter and that
there will be general attendance of all classes
of our citizens 1t is suggested that employers
of colored voters will take pains to explain the
object of this meeting to their employees, and
will not only give them chance to attend and
hear the Union Reform candidates, but will
urge them to do so. We know that Judge Car
penter and Gen. Butler will be able to convince
many colored people of their folly in blindly
adhering to the men who have heretofore con-
trolled them for selfish purposes, and we think
it is the duty of every farmer that they make
an effort to bring along that element of the vo-
ting population

GEN. KERsHAw'S LETTERING invite at
tcntion to the able, manly and patriotic letter
of Gen. J. B. Kcrshaw addressed to the Banner
Of the South, and which is published Oh our
first page to-day. 1t is an earnest defence OF
himself and his friends from charges Of incon-
sistencv, and is the best vndication Of the Re
form movement we could place before our read
ers In referring to this letter, the Columbia
Guardian says:
The noble, statcsmanlikc and patriotic mo-
tiyes enounccd by General kcrshaw as actua-
ting his own conduct, serve at the same time to
give clear and full exposition of the scope
and object of the Union Reform party. Over
powered in the war, subjected to military rule
afterwards, and now oppressed with the rule OF
alien adventures more odous still, the hopes
of our people are almost crushed, and must be
wholly so if VIC cannot effect q reconciliation
and friendly alliance with the colored people
upon Just and mutually advantageous basis.
This alliance the Union Reform party attempts
to effect. In all honor and with perfect sim
cerity the offer is made. There is no desertion
of principles-none is needed. If rs the peo-
pie of South Carolina we grant the rights OF
the colored population to vote and hold office,
most assuredly we can do so without sacrificing
any principle we have hitherto cherished. We
held, not that the colored race could not be al
lowed the elective franchise, but that each OF
the States, and not the general government,
should determine the question.
There is naught that our enemies have shown.
nor that we can see, that can compromise the
highest-toned gentleman or purest-minded pa
triot in advocating the principles of the Re.
form party and all we ask of our neighbors OF
Georgia is, that if they can or will not aid us,
to leave lis alone Before the next Presiden-
tial election, we venture to predict there will
not be single Southern State but that will
adopt the course now entered upon by the good
people of the Palmetto State, in their effort to
bring about kindly political relations between
the races

Hon. Daniel S. Norton United States
Senator from Minnesota, died in Washington
on Thursday last of lingering consumption. Mr..
Norton, though not prominent speaker was
one of the most upright and useful members OF
Congress. He was born in Mount Vernon,
Kenyon County, Ohio, April 12 1929, and was
educated at Kenyon College. Hc was but II
years old when the Mexican war broke out, but
he volunteered at the beginning, and went on
to the Rio Grande with the Second Ohio Regi-
ment After serving his country in the ranks
through Taylor's campaigns he returned home
by the way of California and Nicaragua to be-
gin the study of the law in his native village.
He was admitted to the bar in 1852, and moved
to the new State of Minnesota in 1855. Two
years after settling there he was elected to the
State Senate, and was returned in six subsc-
uuent elections. In 1864 Mr.. Norton was
chosen to the United States Senate as conser-
vative Republican to succeed Morton S. Will
kinson, and took his seat March 4, 1866. His
course during his Congressional career was
emincntly consistent and always conservative.
He was one of the Republicans who refused to
be dragooned into the impeachment policy o. OF
his party and his action at that crisis formally
separated him from his old associates. ne h,s

cotton Manufacturing in South Carolina. "

Sometime ago we gave sketch of the Pen
dleton Factory, owned and operated by Messrs.
VIM. Perry G. Co., and stated that it was their
intention to enlarge the sphere of their opera
tions by securing additional capital and new
machinery for the manufacture of domestic
cloths. These gentlemen have now completed
their arrangements, and have recently issued
pamphlet for the purpose of bringing their en-
terprise before the public 1t Will be remem-
bered that the original investment OF the pres
ent company in October, 1867, was 1000, and
that since that time the entire profits of the
business have been applied to the improve
ment of the property, and to the purchase of
additional machinery and real estate. On the
1st of June last, the Company declared stock
dividend of $4,000, latter setting aside an
amount amply sufficient to cover all the liabili-
ties of the Company which shows nett profit
of 26f per cent per annum on the investment
made at the organization. To obtain the de-
sired amount of 100000 capital, it will be
necessary to dispose of $4,000 stock of the
company, and this amount is now offered for
sale The showing hereinbefore made is sutfi-
cient to convince any one that such an invest
ment will bring handsome dividends, and we
take pleasure in cordially recommending this
opportunity to capitalists seeking safe and
sure return from their money. Messrs. B. F.
Crayton G. Son, of this place, are authorized to
receive subscriptions, and will take pleasure in
giving every information to persons interested.

A correspondent of the Charleston Ncacs,
son county was not truly represented in the
June Convention, and that the belief expressed
by one of the delegates as to the people being
opposed to nomination was not wcll-founded.
We have no desire to engage i'll controversy
/ likely to produce evil results, nor will VIC seek
to satisfy the correspondent as to the correct
ness of our opinions We wish to bring about
reformation in the administration of our State
affairs, and prefer to 'swork harmoniously to-
gether," but we respectfully submit that the
correspondent of the News does not promote
harmony by attacking positions taken in ad-
vance of the nomination, and re-opening ques-
tions already settled. When the Convention
determined to put candidates in the field, we
acuuiesced in that decision, in accordance with
a declaration made before the meeting Of that
body. We believe that our political associates
throughout the State have generally appreci-
atcd this course, and we regret that the cores

The first grand fair of the "Cotton States
Mechanics and Agricultural Fair Association"
will take place in Augusta, Ga, on the 25th of
October next The President of this Associa-
ton, DR.. Wm II. Tutt, has exhibited a Won
derful degree of energy in bringing into gener-
al notice, not only throughout the South, but
all over the United States, this splendid under
taking of small body of gentlemen. The
Association has been organized much less than
twelve months, and we venture to say that the
proposed Fair is better known to-day than any
similar event to transpire in this region next
fall Not only has such publicity been given
to this enterprise, but the Fair itself is projec-
ted on a like extensive SCALE A schedule of
premiums has been published, offering $1,000
worth of prizes for competition. The grounds
of the Association, embracing about seventy
acres and lying within the corporate limits, are
being converted into beautiful park, and ar
rangements are progressing most satisfactorily,
we understand. The amplest opportunity will
be offered agriculturists and manufacturers from
every section of the country to place their pro-
ductions before the public, and every facility
will be contrivcd to secure visitors and exhibi-
tors the utmost attention during the Fair. We
think it likely that this Association will over
shadow other and older institutions, and that
in a few years it will become the leading society
of this kind in the cotton States. Our friend
Tut deserves the fullest credit for the fatter-
ing prospect, and we have penncd the fore
going, not from any lukewarmncss in our own
enterprises of this character, but in order to
give credit to indomitable energy, perseverance,
capacity and enlarged common sense
