Disastrous Fire

We regret to learn that our friend, Mr.: ?. L.
Dean living near Fair Play, in Oconee coun-
ty. met with heavy loss by fire on Monday,
10th inst. His dwelling caught fire about three
o'clock in the afternoon of that day, and was
totally consumed, besides the furniture, the
clothing of the family, and several hundred
dollars in grecnbacks, making total loss OF
about $500. There was no insurance upon
the building or its contents, We believe. The
origin of the fire is not explained, unlessit was
an incendiary act, as the flames were discover
ed in a room where there had. been no fire for
several months. We deeply sympathize with
Mr.. Dean in this great misfortune:

For the Anderson Mtelliqeneer.
ANDERSON c. H., July is, 1871.

ANDERSON ~. IL, July Ioj 1ot1.
Mr.. EDITOR: Several months ago it was an
nounced in your paper that the militia of
Anderson C. H. had come forward and volun-
tarily proposed to surrender their arms to the
proper authorities, and return to the peaceful
walks of life. Were not resolutions to that
effect passed by that body? You very proper
ly complimented this action. But, sir, it now
appears that the resolutions have not been
carried out, and from recent demonstrations it
would seem that the purpose of giving up the
arms was never seriously entertained. 1t was
but last Saturday that the military turned out
and paraded our streets with the view to unite
with Sabbath school celebration, thus mixing
and amalgalnating war with religion. They
were induced by representations of some pru-
dent citizens to desist from joining, arms in
hand, with the Sabbath school procession; but
they drilled and performed their military evo-
lutions. Why, in the midst of profound peace,
are the military demonstrations kept up? 1t
is a source of constant irritation to the white
citizens. Do not all the experience of history,
and the recent disturbances and collisions in
Laurens, Union and elsewhere, exemplify the
fact that licentious and irresponsible soldiery
is destructive to peace, and fatal to liberty and
good government?
But not to protract this communication, We
will say at once that its object is TO direct the
attention of the State Executive to the contin-
ucd existence of this military organization, and
to call upon him to carry out in good faith his
proclamation calling in all the arms. When
this is done, then will he manifest sincere
wish for the restoration of order and tranquil
ty, and ontite himself to the confidence of all
peaceful citizens. o,

Arrested.

A negro man calling himself james Gaillard
formerly known as VIM. Broyles, was arrested
yesterday upon the charge of stealing mule
and was lodged in Jail. He sold the mule sew
eral days ago to one Of our citizens, and some
oolored men suspecting his movements herea-
bouts, mad him. arrested upon other charges at
first. when his connection with the mule was
ascertained. 1t was small black mule, with
one eve, and we are informed that it has since
been sold to parties living in Georgia.

In Search of Liqht.

The precious Land Commission muddle, that
so seriously puzzled our grave Legislators last
winter, is again to be re-hashed in the news
papers. 1t will be remembered that joint
committee of the General Assembly pretended
to investigate the actings and doings of the
Land Commission, while that benefcent insti-
tuition was under the charge and supervision of
the immaculate, irrepressible and cratic Sena-
tor from Barnwell, Hon. G. P. Leslie. It; is
not very clear that this investigation ever
amounted to anything of practical value, but
it is known that Leslie defed the Senate on
several occasions to disturb him on this cues
tion or attempt to force any exposure of the
management of the Land Commission. But it
appears that we are about to get some informa-
ton, at last. Senator Foster, of Spartanburg,
was member of the Investigating Committee.
He was elected to the Senate in 1868 as Dem
ocrat. For reasons of his own, Leslie has
called upon Mr. Foster through the Charleston
newspapers to state the result of his search in
to the labyrinthine intricacies Of that pei
scheme of the Radicals, by which 100000 in
bonds of the State was expended for the pur.
chase of Glands for the landless, and homes fol
the homeless" but which magnificent dream
has never been realized by any considerable
number of the States prospective wards. Now
we take some interest in this question, and
would unite with Mr. Leslie in calling upon
the Senator from Spartanburg to make clean
breast of the whole transaction, from begin
ing to end, as to the progress and result of thai
farcical investigation. Were any facts elected
to show such monstrous peculations and theft
as charged in the political campaign last sum
mer? Did Senator Foster, or any member o.
the committee, ascertain if there was any truth
in the allegations against Leslie and his agents
and the members of the Advisory Board, thai
they put money in their own pockets by reason
of their connection with the Land Commits
sion? A full and explicit answer, so far as hi:
knowledge extends, is due to the anti-Radica
element of this State, and we trust that MIR
Foster, for his own sake, will not hesitate to di
vulge any and every information in his posses
sion. We copy the card of Mr. Leslie from the
Charleston Courier:
