AN EFFEcrUAL REMEDY.-The Beaufort
Rspaoican, in commenting upon the course of
Radical cotemporary, points out the true
method of curing the evils now preying upon
the:body polite. 1t is justly severe in its con-
domination of the primary cause of all our trou-
BILE: l.
The editor of the Daily Union has worked
himself into fever heat regarding the Ku Klux
bands, which according to his statement, are as
countless in numbers as the clans of McGregor.
He sees them in his dreams, in his waking
hours, and his howlings thereat are frightful.
We can tell him how to treat such cases to pro-
duce permanent cure. Wipe out the present
State administration from the Governor down
to the thieving Legislature, and from thence
through all the minor appointments, clean them
away, and there will then be no Ku Klux hor-
rors to frghten his diseased imagination.

Agricultural Entertainment.

1.-THE Entertainment for the benefit of the
Anderson Farmers Association will begin on
Wednesday evening next, and continue during
the.Fair. We understand that spirited corps
has under preparation number Of Charades,
unusually spicy and interesting, and the public
may. rest assured that this part of the Enter.
tainmnent will enable them "to laugh and grow
fat" We are likewise informed that the great
est variety of edibles will be constantly access
iale to the hungry multitude, and splendid
bill, of fare will tempt the appetites of the
crowd. The Charades will take place each
evening, beginning on Wednesday, at73 o'clock.
The programme for refreshments embraces not
eniy the evening, but also during the daytime,
while the Agricultural Fair is in progress All
viii be held in the spacious building belonging
10 the Blue Ridge Railroad, where the Fair
was held last year. We trust a generous pub
lie will open their purses and patronize the
Entertainment most literally, as the proceeds
will be devoted exclusively to the purchase of
grounds and the erection of buildings for the
Farmers Association.

Martial Law.

The rule of the bayonet has been placed over
nine Counties of this State, under pretence of
crushing out rebellion which has never exist
ed. In some of these counties, outrages have
been committed, and the community kept in a
disturbed condition. but this is attributable to
no general concerted movement against the
United States authorities, and is properly
chargeable to Radical barn-burners and mis-
creants no less than to Ku Klux organizations.
We have no apologies to make for such as con-
travene the laws, under whatever pretext. We
are opposed to secret political organizations of
every kind, and have always maintained this
position. But the true method of eradcating
the evils engendered by Union Leaguesand
Ku Klux Klans has not yet been tried An
honest, upright administration of the laws in
this State would speedily create such conf
dence and respect for civil authority that evil
doers of every character would be compelled
to shrink before public opinion. Ignorance,
corruption and venality have governed this
State for the last three years. Until these are
removed from power, permanent peace and Sc
curity will never be obtained, though the land
bristles with bayonets and the whole State Is
converted into military camp.
The condition of affairs in that portion Of
the State over which martial law now prevails
is most deplorable. Numerous arrests have al
ready been made, and hundreds are leaving
their homes, particularly in the counties Of
York and Spartanburg. Business is;entirely
suspended, and labor is demoralized. The ex-
element is intense, and yet we hear of no re-
sistence to "the powers that be-" Patience and
moderation are counselled, under The most try
ing circumstances, and while the rigors and
hardships of martial law fall unequally upon
innocent persons, there is display of heroism
and fortitude that must command the admira;
ton of every true lover of liberty.

For The anderson IntelEqeneer.

Z. Mr.. EDITOR: CHANGED to be at the Exhibi-
ton at Mofattsville Academy, in the Dark
Corner of Anderson District, on the 18th inst.
The institution is conducted by Mr.. VIM. Ham
ilton, native of the County, gentleman OF
fine ability and much experience in his pro-
fession. According. to the indications of that
day, think it would be we'll to make applica-
ton to the Legislature to change the title and
call it the Light Corner. But I understand
they are not ashamed of the name. The COM
positions of the girls, the speeches Of the boys,
(original and extracts,) would do honor to any
institution of learning in the land.
The exercises of the day consisted mainly of
compositions and speeches, which were to have
been interspersed with music from the Ander-
son Band, which, however, failed to attend,
Notwithstanding conveyances were sent for
them and the money raised for their remsner-
alton. At "Play Time," las we were wont to
call it, in days of yore, most bountiful repast,
such as the ladies of the Corner know how to
prepare, was spread and the multitude invited
to partake. After all had feasted, many bas-
kets full of fragments might have been gath
cred. A participant was heard to remark that
if it were Methodist community, he would
propose that the meeting be "protracted," " at
least until all the good things were consumed.
During the afternoon exercises, young lady
was reading a beautiful composition on "Music."
In enumerating the different kinds, she spoke
of the music of childhood. Just then hasty
shower of rain drove the numerous babies of
the crowd into the church, where they practi-
cally illustrated that childhood could be noisily
musical. The exercises were closed with an
address by J. G. c. Featherston, Esq, of your
town, upon the subject of Thought"
"And with giants might
He heayed the ponderous Thought,
And poured stream Of eloquence
With beauteous language fraught-"
The vast assemblage then dispersed, no doubt
wishing many happy returns of similar Exhi-
bitions at Moffattsville Academy.

The great Improvements made during the,last
