We hope he has not changed his
wholesome views on this subject since
he turned Republican; and if he has not,
he is inexcusable in justifying that in
another which he would be ashamed to
d9 himself. On the subject of Grants
gift-taking, the Judge was scarcely more
pleasing, and even less convincing, than
on nepotism.
When he reached the Ku Klux out
RACES, the Judge put on all his mettle.
He had evidently crammed on this sub
ject probably from some of the edito-
rials of our Ku Kiux martyr across the
way.
But we must close our comments here
on account of the lateness of the hour.
On the subject of State affairs. Judge
Orr spoke but few words at the wind
ing up. He advised the colored people
to send only honest men to the nomi.
mating convention, and vote only for
honest officials. He said that the State
Government sadly needed amendment,
and was the cause of much anxiety to
the party ut large. Governor Scott, who
was sitting in front of the speaker, put
on dry grin here. He evidently
thought the Judge was getting personal
in his remarks.

FATAL ACoIDENT.-A terrible accident
occurred at the Anderson Depot on last
Saturday afternoon, resulting in the
death Of Mr.. Sanders Smith, a we'll
known school teacher of this County.
1t seems that Mr.. Smith was desirous OF
taking the train for Belton at half-past
2 O'Clock, and went to the depot for that
purpose. He was considerably ;ntoxi-
Gated, and went near the edge Of the
platform. The cars were being shifted
at the time. and the freight cars were run
out on the track next to the platform
with the intention Of leaving the hind
most car. When this was ''cut off, from
the train, one of the hands called out call
right, as is customary, and it is eup-
posed that Mr.. Smith concluded that this
signal meant to get aboard, which he at
tempted just as the train moved rather
bripkly. when the Car striking him, he
was thrown down next to the platform.
and was caught between the car and the
platform, in which position he was
turned round several times within o
space of less than six inches. crushing
him most horribly, and breaking his left
arm and right thigh. Although the
alarm was instantly given, the train
could not be stopped until the entire
length Of the car was passed. with the
unfortunate man being crushed within
this narrow space. His mangled body
Tas taken into the reception room of the
depot. where he breathed his last in q
short time.-Anderson LnteNigencer.

lovers of the Union and of their brothe,
man, to whom we are indebted for the
escape OF our most worthy citizens from
the ignominious execution which Radical
hate and fanatioism desired to consign
them, and for the saving, too, of what
little property was left our people from
conascation. Grant was of the number
at that time. Proud Of his unexpected
fame, the hero of the Union. and in.
debted for his glory to General Lee, he
was inclined, or seemed to be inclined.
to act magnanimously, and act the part
OF champion to his fallen foes. But he
fell from that high estate. The entice.
ments OF Office and power and the bland
ishments Of fatterers and sycophants
led him from the path of honor. The
sparks OF higher ambition which
frightened his life after Appomattox
were smothered in the sordid lusts of
pelf and political aggrandizement after
he was made President. Where the
shattered South had once looked for her
staunchest protector, she found her
chief spoliator. The time for execution
OF Southern leaders and public con fisca-
ton was past, but Grant has done the
worst he could, or that the most malig-
nant, venomous hater of the South
could desire. The South has not been
oonfiscated to the Government, but mil
lions Of its property has been given to
thievish carpet-baggers. It has been
beset, bedeviled, plunderea end perse-
cuted with the most relentless hatred,
and Grant is the man responsible for it;
for he and he only had the power to pre-
vent it. But he would not. They have
been his instruments who have done
these damnable things. and the work is
his. Grant was with Greeley in '66, but
he left him, and has taken counsel rather
of Morton, Beast Butler and others such
as they. Greeley stands to-day where
he stood the day after Lees surrender,
and has stood ever since, the advocate
of complete amnesty and renewed friend
ship to the South and of the protection
and enfranchisement of the blacks. The
following is on extract from an article
following the one before cited:
"We entreat the President
promptly to do and dare in the cause of
magnanimity. The Southern mind is
now open to kindness, and may be mag
neticaliy affected by generosity. Let
assurance at once be given that there is
to be general amnesty, and no general
oonfiscation. This is none the less the
dictate OF wisdom, because it is also the
dictate of mercy. What we ask is, that
the President say, in effect, Slavery
having, through rebellion, committed
suicide, let the North and the South
unite to bury the carcass. and then clasp
hands across Il . grave"
We could 60 on and fill our paper with
such extracts from the pamphlet we have
in hand. IT. South wants no better
friend" IRE reliable man for Presi-
de- ,..An Horace. Greeley.

as possible, was sought after by Lieut..
Chapman in every direction, and at
quarter Of IL O'Clock, was arrested in q
house in George street, and taken to the
gnard house. The affair caused consider

SUIT AGAINST THE STATE TREAsuRER.-
The examination of Niles G.. Parker,
State Treasurer, was commenced yester-
day, before John T. Rhett, Esq, as ,e.
feree. appointed by his Honor Judge
Willard, to take the testimony in the
case of T. J. & II. NJ. Gibson and VIM.
B. Guliok, against the said State Trea-
surer. The plaintiffs are represented by
Messrs. Pope & Haskell, and the de-
fendant by Mr.. @. D. Melton and Mr..
Chamberlain. The defendant not being
ready to proceed. the case was adjourned
over to this morning, at half-past 10
o'clock 1t is understood that the exa-
mination will be conducted at the State
House, so as to permit the Treasurer to
be near to his Office, as the Investigation
may be protracted, aud probably will
be for days. Well, there is enough to
do. Let it all come out We believe
that Judge Willard means to probe this
thing to the bottom. And every good
citizen in South Carolina will say "God
speed' There is no politics in this
matter. It is law and order.

A FlOgging by Proxy.

Many years ago, there lived in beaut-
full little country town in North Alabama,
genial, warm-hearted old gentleman,
Judge H, well-known throughout the
State as we'll for his distinguished ability
as his marked generosity and congeniality.
Among his chattel posse ssions was negro
named Jake, or as he was more familiarly
called Uncle Jake, and there never lived
more provoking old darkey for uncle Jake,
although favorite, had many weaknesses,
and among others he was particularly re-
gardless of truth, to such an extent in fact
that occasionally the good old Judge found
it necessary to punish him. 1t was the
custom in those days for the town constable
to administer fogging for consideration
whenever the master was disinclined to
officiate, and the constable of this particu-
lar town had severe reputation for pro-
ficiency among the darkies who had now
and then been SO unfortunate as to come
under his hands.
Jake, although he had never been there,
was well posted, and had great repug-
nance to Massa O., who was the in

A Beautiful Incident.

A young man recently ran away from the
galleys of Toulouse. He was strong and
vigorous, and arrived next morning before
cottage, and stopped to get something to
eat, and get refuge while he reposed a
little. But he found the inmates of the cot
tage in the greatest distress. -Four little chill
dren sat trembling in the corner-the mother
sat weeping and tearing her hair, and the
father was walking the floor in much agony.
The galley slave asked what was the mat
ter, and the father replied that they were that
morning to be turned out of doors because
they could not pay their rent.
"You see me driven to despair said the
father, "my wife and little ones deprived of
food and shelter, and without means to pro-
vide for them"
The convict listened to the tale with tears
of sympathy, and said: s,-.. a., .s,..,.s
81 will give you the means. have Just
escaped from the galleys. Whosoever brings
back an escaped prisoner is entitled to re-
ward of fifty francs How much does the
rent amount to?"
s'Forty francs" answered the father. Ag
my children should starve before would
do so base thing"
The generous man insisted, and declared
that he would 90 and give himself up if the
father would not take him. The latter Yield
ed, and taking his preseryer by the arm, led
MN W INC City anu W INC mayor oIHCc.
Everybody was surprised to see that little
man had been able to capture such strong
young fellow. isg.aAff nt..tr.s1n- +
The fifty francs were paid, and the prisoner
sent back to the galleys; but after he was
gone the father asked a private interview with
the Mayor, to whom he told the whole story
The Mayor was so much affected that he not
only added francsEto the, fathers purse, but
wrote Immediately to the Minister of Justice,
begging the noble prisoners release. The
Minister examined into the affair. and finding
it was comparatively small offense which
condemned the young man to the galleys and
that he had already served out half of his
term, ordered his release. g,,.,.
