Supervisors of Elections.

Under an Act of Congress, it is made the
duty Of the United States Circuit Judge to ap-
point supervisors of elections, two for each
precinct, whenever ten respectable citizens of
parish or county, in any Congressional Dis
trict, make the application for such appoint
ment. The supervisors are to be citizens of
the County forwhich they are appointed, and
must be respectable persons, capable of reading
and writing, and belonging to different politi-
cal parties. Only two are to be appointed for
each precinct or box.
Under this Act of Congress, the Circuit
Judge is empowered to authorize the District
Judgeto make the appointment ofsupervisors,
when this authority has been requested by ten
respectable citizens, and under this provision
of the Act, we are informed that Judge Bryan,
of the U. S. District Court, has been designa-
ted to perform that duty in South Carolina.
Mr.. Samuel T. Pointer, of Spartanburg, has
been appointed Chief Supervisor Of Elections
for the State, and we understand that petition
has gone forward for the appointment of super
visors for each precinct in Anderson County.
The law requires that these appointments shall
be made at least ten days prior to the election.
The duty of supervisors is simply to ascertain
that no frauds are practiced, and that the elec-
ton is conducted fairly in all respects.

On the War Path.

The irrepressible cclored orator, Maj. Samuel
Dickeron, of Charleston, having been informed
that Judge l3oge made certain statements con-
cernfHg Sans political procIivities, Publishes
card in the Charleston Republican, in which he
denonncss the valiant Judge as "a bass liar and
a apolsoon,p which islths most appro,ed Radi.
cal fashion nowadays Of denying any rumors
thas may. Be aaoat It ID likewise reported
that the gallant Mgjor, on a resent occasion in
Chester County, made q hassy retreat before
mob of his own color, who were infuriated at
his denunciktion Of Moses. This last exploit
places the sfs;oreyen with his white antagonist
whose facility in getting sway from imaginary
danger was fully demonstrated in this County
about fonr years ago. As there is no chance
for fight, it is presumed that the present dis.
pute will be settled by foot-race!

Constitutional Amendments.

The Spartanburg Spartan makes the follow
ing comments upon the proposed changes in
the Constitution of this State, and we trust
that our readers win act with unanimity upon
the suggestion made to endorse the amend
ments:
The amendments proposed to the Constitr-
ton, and which are to be voted upon at the
next election, are of vital Importance to the
welfare of our State and should engage the at
tention of our people. One of them proposes
to change the time of holding our General
Elections from October to November, 60 as to
make them come off on the same day with the
Presidential Elections every fourth year.
The other Amendment proposes to so change
the Constitution that no subsequent Legislature
shall have power to create any further debt OF
obligation for which the State shall be liable,
except for the ordinary current business OF the
State, without first submitting the question to
q vote of the people and obtaining authority
30 to do by O two.thirds vote of all those voting
upon thequestion.
The first one of these Amendments is impor-
tant in lessening the number of election days
and to that extent preventing an unnecessary
loss of time, and the consumption OF SO large
qdantity of mean whiskey. .osn :.
The second one of these proposed Amend
ments, however, is of the most vital conse'
qlience to us as long as our government remains
in the hands of such corrupt scoundreis as now
rule the State. We acknowledge that constr
tutional barriers afford a very small protection
at present to the honest people of our country,
and that so long as such villains as Moses can
run up the current expenses by pay certificates
to millions of dollars, that the adoption of this
Amendment will not give all the protection we
require, but we nevertheless hope to see 1T made
a part of the fundamental law, and trust that
every voter in the County will turn out to re-
cord his vote for it.

Grant as an Orator.

While the country is resounding with praises
of the excellent and well-timed speeches of
Horace Greeley, on his recent tour to the West,
the telegraph surprises us with the announce
ment that President Grant has broken his
sphynx-like reticence, and condescended to
make response to calls for public speech.
He was on his way from the summer headquar-
tiers of the Government at Long Branch, pre-
pairing for brief sojourn in the White House
this winter, and stopped over at Philadelphia,
where he gave a reception last Friday. In the
evening; he was serenaded by the merchants of
that city, who had just returned from mass
meeting at Concert Hall. As the Presidents
response is within due limits Notwithstanding
the crowded condition of our columns, we
publish his speech in full, merely remarking
that we are always disposed to give both sides
hearing, especially when so little space is
required to accomplish that purpose. Here is
the speech:
"Genheu,en and merchants Of Philadelphia !:
You have heard much better speeches tonight
than I could make, if were. 80 inclined. l
am very glad to see you, and am pleased to
hear that you have been to hear such line
speeches, and how you have been engaged to-
night"

A Card.

To THE CITIZENS OF ANDERSON COUNTY:
In announcing myself candidate for the
Legislature last week, 1 promised to present
the readers of the Intcltge,scer with an address,
containing the principles which 1 endorse and
will advocate If elected. Other matter being
received before my article, the Editor is obliged
to postpone its publication until the next issue.
The question which ask you to decide is,
not whether am Republican or Democrat,
but can I render moro service to the County
and State than some other candidate, and II so,
will perform that duty? believe can, and
pledge myself, if by your votes am placed in
a position to do so, to use all my energy and
influence to secure an economical administra-
tration.
All ask is an impartial perusal of my ad-
dress before your decision.
Respectfully,
JOHN II. COCHRAN.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1872-10-03

he became candidate for Governor. He was
honest and ineorruptible, and he had left the
State government from belief that there was
something wrong with the management of its
finances. He then explained Tomlinson's con-
nection with the Phosphate bill, alluding to
the charge made by Cardozo that Tomlihson
became responsible for money used in bribing
Senators to secure its passage, and quoted Tim
Hurley as saying that Cardoza told d-n lie.
The only salvation of the Republican party
was to put dewn corrupt men, and the celored
people were responsible for their continuance
in office. The public schools were closed, the
Lunatic Asylum in distress, and the Peniten-
tiary embarrassed for the want of funds. Moses
is proAigate, reckless and unprincipled. He
then addressed the colored people, who had
been on trial for the last four years. The
Democratic party predicted that the colored
people would vote for mean men as quick as
good men, and he wanted them to disappoint
this prediction and fulfill the hopes Of the Re-
publicans. If the eolored people continued to
vote for bad men, Mr.. Corbin expressed his
private opinion that the right to vote would
ultimately be taken away from them, as they
would thereby prove that they were unfit to
exercise the right of suffrage. They ought not
to be allowed to vote, unless they prove their
capability of choosing good men to Office. In
conclusion, he ssid that the time would come
when the United States will not interfere to
protect the colored people, and the TROUBLES
here will have to be fought out among the
whites and blacks. Elect thieves and scoun-
drels to Office, and you must take the conse-
quences The colored people little knew the
brink upon which they were standing. The
Republicans of the North, who gave them suf-
frage, will give up that the Democrats were
right in opposing this boon being granted to
an ignorant, uneducated race, and the only
safety for the colored people was to vote for
honest upright men hereafter.
Mr.. Corbin's speech was listened to attentive
" during the two hours occupied in its deliv-
cry.
BENZ. L. Roberts, (eolored, the candidate OF
the Boilers for Superintendent of Education,
was present and called upon for speech. he
made brief and sensible address, condning
his remarks to the colored people, and giving
them sonnd advice. Roberts resided in An
derson for many years, and is we'll known as
an honest man. He has good education, and
speaks fuently, without indulging in vituper.

A Card.
To THE VOTERS OF ANDERSON COUNTY:

To THE VOTERS OF ANDERSON COUNTY:
The action of the Convention for nominating
candidates for County Offices, and which rep
resented such meagre per cent. of the vo-
tiers of the County, makes it imperative on
me to give, as one of the candidates protesting
against the assumed authority to dictate to the
overwhelming majority of the voters of the
County, my reasons for not submitting to said
dictation. My objections are to the mode and
manner of efecting the nominations and not at
all to the nominees. I expressed the opinion
to several persons on Saleday, that the meeting
held on that occasion was premature and iniu-
dicious, and accordingly through friends du-
ring the discussions opposed any action at that
time. After the meeting / announced pub
liely that would acquiesce in full and free
expression of the public voice; but, that If /
became satisfied the meeting was brought about
in furtherance of local preferences, would ex-
ercise the right of acting independently. In
consequence of those remarks the most unjust
reports were circulated throughout the County,
which caused the snap judgment against me in
the Township meetings. After thorough can
vass of the County, am too well informed of
the expressed feelings Of the voters towards me
to passively submit to any such unfair and un-
just decision. Although opposed to the pro-
ceedings on Saleday, for the four days inter-
vening between that day and the voting in
the Townships, urged upon all I saw the i'm.
portance of full turnout Of the people, and
promised if there was q full expression of the
public preference, if not nominated I would
withdraw from the canvass; but as the eondi-
ton precedent WIS not fulfilled, consider my
self e4onerated from that promise. There are
decided objections to the short time Of four
days, considered sufficient by the mass meeting
to extend the notice of the Township meetings
to all the voters, when the County paper Is not
received in some portions Of the County until
the following week. There are also decided
objections to the large vote in the Convention
against the adoption of the resolution, sugges-
ting, that as the notice was so short and the
vote in the Townships small, the nominations
should be deferred to future day. Such ac-
tion, must confess, smacks too much of the
caucus system, which embodies the political
axiom, that it is much more convenient to
manipulate small political bodies than large
masses of the people. If 1 had been in An
derson at the meeting of the Convention,
should have withdrawn my name from its ac-
| tion. wrote to friend to do so, if necessary
but he was prevented from attending.
In conclusion, fellow-citizens, with my polit-
ical principles unchanged, announce myself
as an independent candidate to the voters Of
the County, and will duly appreciate any assis-
tance, irrespective of party, which may be rem
dered during the canvass.
Respectfully, T. J. PICKENS.

The October Elections.

p The State elections occur in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana on next Tuesday, Ssh Of Oc-
tober. In Pennsylvania, there is evey proba-
bility that the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, Mr.. Buckalew, will be elected by a
handsome majority, and in our opinion this
will render the Keystone State as certain for
Greeley in November. The chances of
Democratic victory in Ohio are considerably
less, although recent gains to the Liberal cause
make the result doubtful at this time, and
largely increase the prospects Of Greeley and
Brown. We regard Indiana as positively safe
for Mr.. Hendricks, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, and equally sure for the Liberal can
didases in the Presidential contest.
The election of Governor and other State
officers in Georgia took place on yesterday, but
the result is not yet known. Gov. Smith will
undoubtedly be reelected, and both branches
of the Legislature will be largely Democratic.
Hon. Dawson A. Walker is the Radical candi-
date for Governor, but it is well understood
that he was only set mp to be knocked down
again, in order to form the nucleus fol- Grant
party, which hopes to win in November through
division of the Democratic vote by the
astrayed-outs."
AS our readers are well aware by this time,
our own State election occurs on the 10th of
October and is the last contest in local affairs
prior to the general combat along the whole
line, which takes place on Tuesday, 9TH of No
yember.

Conservative ORGANIZATION.

The conservative voters of Camden recently
assembled in public meeting, and organized
Conservative Club, which is intended to act in
concert with other clubs to be formed at the
different precincts in Kershaw County. From
the proceedings of the meeting in Camden, we
extract the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That in our opinion the Conserva-
tive Party should adopt uniform plan of
action, throughout the State, in reference to
the present canvass.
Resolued, That it is the sense of this meeting
that the County Executive Committee should
be authorized to take measures to concentrate
the Conservative vote of this county to the
support of such ticket for State and County
Officers, as in their judgment may be for the
best interest of the people.

that he had given them all to Republicans, and
not one to Democrats. He did give them to
Republicans, with the express understanding
that they were to 60 home and work to secure
his nomination as Governor. But Moses now
denies absolutely that he has issued fraudu-
lent pay certificate, and says that such reports
are ISLANDERS and falsehoods. The speaker then
related an incident, which occurred recently in
Darlington, where one man seeking an Office
was charged in the County Convention with
having received one of these fraudulent pay
certificates. At first he denied the allegation,
but subsequently acknowledged that he had one
for $500. which he received from Moses last
winter in Columbia and carried it home Moses
insisted on giving it to him; he didn't want it
nor deserve it, and told them he was not going
to keep it. and tore the certificate to pieces right
before the Convention. Mr.. Corbin then said,
if Moses, Ransier and Montgomery had issued
certificates fraudulently, none of them ought to
have an abiding place outside of the Peniten-
tiary the balance of their natural lives. Re-
publicans cannot afford to place these men in
Office, much less in the position of Governor.
The only defence of the Moses faction is to
blacken the character of Tomlinson and men
on the other side. They admitted the profit
gacy and corrupt character of Moses, and only
tried to excuse him by bringing charges against
other people.
No man had ever said word against the
Official character Of Reuben Tomlinson until
