Death of pr.E.E. Whitner.

aWeare deeply panied to record the death OF
DR.. Elias E. Whitner, the youngest son of the
late Hon. J.. N. Whitner, which occurred in
GreerrilIe last Thursday, after brief Illness.
DR.. Whitner lately removed TO Greenville for
the purpose Of practicing medicine, and was
scarcely established in his new home when the
fell Destroyer came. The sad intelligence of
is:death was almost the first tidings received
by many of his friends in this community,
where he was born and reared. He resided in
Florida for several years, returning to this
State about eighteen months ago, we believe.
He, graduated in medicine since the war. DIR.
Whitner was warm friend and genial gentle
man, and was greatly endeared to the friends of
his earlier life in Anderson. His remains were
brought to this place on Friday, and inferred in
the Presbyterian churchyard on Saturday morn
ig. He was in the 3Srd year Of his age. tits
only a, few weeks since an older brother died in
Florida, and the grief-stricken family receive
the wasmest sympathies Of our entire commr.
nifty in this deep affliction.

OBITUARY.

DIED, near Kosse, Limestone county, Texas,
on the 9th November, 1871, Mr.. II. CATER
TODD, in the 33rd year of his age,
On the 10Th November he fell from tree,
which injured him internally so severely as to
cause his death in eight days after, although
the tenderest nursing and most skillful medi-
cal aid was given him. He was born and rais-
ed in Anderson County, S. c., and scarcely one
he left there with his wife and babe to join his
kindred who had preceded him to Texas.
Well pleased with his new home, he had made
many warm friends, and his prospects seemed
fair for long life of usefulness and domestic
happiness, when suddenly he was stricken
down by an untoward accident, and taken
from the dear ones who loved so well. But,
OH the sweet consolation to his mourning
friends to know he was prepared for the Mas
ter's coming, tho he came in an unexpected
hour. He appeared entirely resigned to his
Creators will; the day before his death he was
perfectly happy, and the last coherent words he
uttered were praises to his Redeemer for his
glorious feelings. For many years he bad been
a member Of the Presbyterian Church, in
which his sober life and earnest piety soon call
ed him to the position OF an Elder, which Office
he filled to the entire satisfaction of the church.
Every position in life he was called to fill he
filled it well. He was dutiful son, an affec-
tionate brother, devoted husband, tender
father, faithful friend, kind neighbor, q
brave soldier and a consistent Mason, who
faithfully squared his life by the royal precepts
of the fraternity. All who knew him will tes-
tify to his honorable upright life and strict in
tegrity; but such was his modesty that only
those who knew him best, knew the brightness
of his intellect, and the keener sensibilities of
his heart. Such was the purity of his charac-
ter that from his youth up he was never known
to speak falsely OF profanely, or commit any
act that would sully the bright record of his
life. Oh, how hard to be resigned to the loss Of
such as he, but "God doeth all things we'll"
He is now supremely happy in Heaven, and
those who loved him so tenderly here will
strive faithfully to meet him there.
May God guard and protect his young DESC
late wife and little babe, and comfort his aged
father his brother and sister, and many friends
who with me mourn his irrepable loss.
4 FRIEND.

The Ku Klux Cases before the Supreme
Courf


The Supreme Court of the United States, sit
ting in Washington, was occupied last week in
the hearing of motions and arguments relative
to the indictments in this State under the En-
forcement Act. Messrs. Stanbury and Johnson
represent the defendants. In the case of Avery
and others, the motion to dismiss the writ of
error was granted, and this part of the defence
fell to the ground. The case of T. Jefferson
Greer, one of the Ku Klux prisoners, was taken
up on Friday on the motion for writ of habeas
corpus, which was refused by the Circuit Court,
1t will be remembered. In this way the coun-
sci for the prisoners hoped to bring the Ku
Kiux law before the Supreme Court upon its
merits, but it is predicted that the motion will
be denied. The decision was to have been rem
dered on Monday last. The Charleston Neaos
says: 'The motion to be decided by the Court,
as we understand it, involves the whole ques-
ton whether Congress has the power to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus in a time of profound
peace, and whether, if it has that power, it can
delegate it to the President, who, in turn, may
transfer his delegated authority to every civil
and military officer in the service of the United
States. This is the momentous question now
to be determined, and the result will be the
same if it come in the form of a refusal to al
low the cause to be argued upon its merits, or
if it be given in judicial declaration of the
constitutionality of the Enforcement Act"

: i, Damaue to the Greenville Road.

We learn that the heavy rains few days
since caused some damage to the Greenville
ani Columbia Railroad, and that g. small trestle
aAd.a portion of the track we're washed away
in; the neighborhood of Pomaria. In conse-
qpsnce Of this damage, the down passenger
train was unable to reach Columbia on Mon
dayy, and passengers had to be tranferred to an
EXTRA train sent to their relief from Columbia.
Tie necessary repairs were probably completed
yesterday, and the trains put again upon the
regular schedule.
The up-train was delayed on Tuesday by an
accident at Ninety-SiS, one of the cars running
oifthe track at that point. No person was
injured by the accident. The mail did not
reSGh Anderson until midnight.

Amendments to the State Constitution.


The Legislature passed joint resolutions pro-
posing two amendments to the Constitution of
South Carolina. One relates TO the time of
holding the State election, and provides for a
change in the eleventh section of Article End,
so that after its adoption the regular time for
the election of State and County officers will
occur on Tuesday after the first Monday in
November in every second year. This change
is proposed in order to bring on the election at
the same time with the Presidential election,
whenever that occurs. AS the law now stands,
we have State election on the third Wednes-
day in October, and the Presidential election
in November following.
The other proposed amendment is to add
Article 10th to the Constitution, prohibiting
any increase in the public debt, except for the
ordinary and current business of the State,
without first submitting the question to the
people at a general election; and requiring
two.thirds of those voting on the question to
be in favor of any further increase before it
can be made.
The joint resolutions provide for the mode
and manner of submitting these amendments
to the qualified voters at the ensuing general
election.

Gen. Samuel Cooper.

This is name once quite familiar to the
citizens of the South, and indeed the whole
country, but for several years past we have seen
no reference to the old veteran, until one of our
exchanges contained an article respecting his
present condition in life, and embracing the
following preamble and resolution adopted by
an Association in Alexandria, Va. We imme-
diately wrote to Col. Arthur Herbert, Treasurer
of the Association, and have received reply
from that gentleman, authorizing us to present
the wants and necessities of the old General to
our former comrades-in-arms. The preamble
and resolution are as follows:
WHEREAS, Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant General
of the armies of the late Confederate States,
resigned the position of Adjutant General of
the o. S. A., to assist the South i'm her struggle
for life; and has thereby been reduced in his
old age from afflusnce to indulgence:
Resolred, That we, the undersigned-once
officers, soldiers, sailors and citizens of the
Confederate States-recalling the fact that he
ing with lively feelings of gratitude his earnest
labor for the aLost CauseS cordially unite in
this tardy and inadequate recognition of his
eminent services and with view to the COL
lection of fund as substantial token of our
veneration and regard agree to pay within two
weeks, the several sums attached to our names.
1t will be remembered that Gen. Cooper is
not native of the South, and that he gave up
one of the most lucrative positions in the
United States army-in fact. the highest Office
to cast his fortunes with the Confederate
States, not that the South had any claim upon
him, but purely because he believed we were
right. He was appointed Adjutant General of
the Confederate States, and faithfully performed
the duties of that high position until the close
of the war. No martial glory attached to the
services he rendered, it is true, but it was upon
the faithful, earnest discharge of his response
bic duties that the life of the army depended
in great measure For his devotion and ad-
herence to the Lost Cause, we are told, the
United States government burned his house
and confscated his property; and since the war
he has lived, in great poverty, on few acres of
barren land belonging to his wife near Alexan-
dria, Va The brave old man, now verging on
to three score years and ten, has worked as a
common laborer to provide the means of sup
port for his family. We deem it necessary only
to state the facts in regard to Gen. Cooper,
without making any elaborate appeal to this
community, in order to receive generous re-
sponse in this behalf. A subscription list will
be found at the InteAigencer Office, and all are
invited to contribute of their means to smooth
the declining pathway of this noble old gentle
man. Any sum, however small, will be thank
fully received and duly acknowledged. We
wish 70 forward the contribution from Ander-

Mrs. MiIlwee's Charts.

The great tendency of the age is to bring
about improved methods of labor, whereby
time is saved and money made. In every de-
partment of industry, there are labor-saving
inventions, and the most rapid strides have
been made towards economizing the time of
every one engaged in useful occupations. The
amelioration of mankind from many arduQus
and difficult tasks naturally results from this
condition of things, and we find that the duties
and perplexities of household life are especially
diminished through the agencies to which we
refer. The sphere of woman has been invaded
by the inventors, and vast deal of labor has
been simpliSed and rendered less difficult In
deed, the suggestions and genius of the ladies
have aided in this movement to no small ex-
tent, and to chem is due the credit of many
valuable inventions. 1t is in reference to one
of these emanations of woman's genius that
this article is penned. The annoyance of i'll
fitting garments and the trouble of securing
desirable patterns will be recognized and appre-
ciated by every lady of experience in the care
of family. To meet the desideratum in this
respect, Mrs. DR.. Millwee has perfected Charts,
for both ladies and children, by the aid of which
any lady of ordinary intelligence can give q
perfect fit to any form or size, including all
styles of ladies and children's garments Print
ed directions for cutting all kinds of garments
accompany each Chart, and likewise marker
or ruler of peculiar form, by which the arm
hole and all curved lines may be drawn, 80 that
one cannot fill to give them proper form. This
improved system for cutting garments will OBJ
viate the necessity of ordering patterns for
every change of fashion. The Charts are per-
fectly reliable, as has been proven by the most
positive mathematical tests, besides practical
demonstration in making all kinds of garments
before being offered for sale. Teir claims are
recognized as superior to all other Charts, or
methods of cutting by measure, and they have
received the highest encomiums wherever in
troduced. The system embraces two separate
and distinct Charts one is scaled for cutting
ladies' garments, and the other for children's-
girls and boys. The retail price of each is $780,
but both may be obtained for $780,
Miss Lizzie Williams is the authorized Agent
for the sale of these Charts in Anderson Coun-
ty, and will take pleasure in visiting any neigh
borhood to give the necessary Instructions
where five persons signify their willingness to
take as many Charts. Orders can be left at the
Ladies' Store on Brick Range, or sent to her
address at Piercetown, S. G. The Charts may
likewise be examined at the Ladies' Store.
