Passage of the Amnesty Bill.

Congress has proclaimed general amnesty for
past political offences by the passage of an Act
to remove the political disabilities imposed by
the Fourteenth Amendment certain
exceptions, it is true, but these exceptions will
not embrace more than two hundred cases. 1t
is tardy act of justice on the part of the ma
jority in Congress, and has doubtless been has
tened by the movements of the Liberal Repub-
licans, who were likely to make capital in their
advocacy Of this measure, SO long delayed by
the extreme wing of that party. The bill has
been signed by the President, and has become
law. The following is the wording of the
same:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Ameri-
ca in Congress assembled, two-thirds Of each
House concurring therein, That all political
disabilities imposed by the third section of the
Fourteenth Article of Amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, are hereby
removed from all persons whomsoever, except
Senators and Representatives of the Thirty
sixth and Thirty-seventh Congress, officers in
the Judicial, Military and Naval Service of the
United States, Heads of Departments and For
eign Ministers of the United States.

PENpLEToN, May 9th, 1872.
FRIEND HoYT: Many of your subscribers
and Democratic friends hereabouts regret to
see, from your last issue, that you are opposed
to sending delegates from our County to Co.
lumba, as well as from the State at large to
Baltimore. If the. letters of Gov. Perry and
Mr.. Porter are not convincing, then argument
is unnecessary to those that will not be con-
vinced. 1t is therefore suggested, and will be
carried out in some, if not all the Townships
of the County, that each Township shall hold
its own meeting and appoint one delegate to
the Convention at Columbia; that those dele
gates on arriving at Columbia shall arrange to
cast the vote the County is entitled to. This
course is by no means desirable, but if Ander-
son resolves to have no central meeting for the
whole County, which we believe large ma
jority of the County are in favor OF, then let
the other be adopted Nomination or no noml-
nation. a GREELEY DEMOCRAT.

National Politics.

We have before us a letter from our old
correspondent, "Jemimy Cutie, of Perlasky,
Oconey County, S. G" giving her views on the
situation. Jemima is decidedly of the opinion
that the people of the South, and especially of
South Carolina, have been made cats paws of,
for the benefit of others, long enough. She
violently opposes all political conventions-ad-
vises the people for once to do nothing, hold
still, make corn and cotton, and let the politi-
clans hunger little while longer for Office and
position. But, if this is simpossible, she recon-
mends them to go only SO far as to hurrah for
the CIR ticket, and wait a brief season to
fill out the name, because some of her neigh
bors, she says, would like to know which is the
strongest side before committing themselves to
the support Of either of the Republican cand-
dates.
Another correspondent discusses the situation
in favor of Greeley and against Democratic
nominations. We regret that circumstances
compel US to forcgo the publication of these
letters in to-day's issue.

In regard to the condition of public roads

made, and we recommend that the County

the Commissioners should be required to ear

The, Public. Schools.

.! The State Superintendent Of Education, Hon.
j K Jiison, has issued circular to the various
School Commissioners, in which it is announced
;4that the State Treasurer will not pay the orders
drawn upon him in favor of the several County
Treasursrs IN the State, from the appropriation
of S3eg909 made by the Legislature for the
support and maintenance cof Free Common
Schools for the current year, until the collec-
ton Of the next general taxes and in view of
this fact, Mr.. Jillson deems it expedient to ad-
wise that ali; the Free Common Schools be
closed at once, except in those School Districts
which have an unexpended balance of school
,,funfs ON hand. In accordance with the pro:
divisions of this circular, we are informed that
-lWm. H. Haynie, Esq.,? School Commissioner
for Anderson County, has suggested to the
School Trustees in the various School Districts
that they close the public schools on Or by the
: last Friday in June next. This action is taken
BY order of the County Board Of School Ex-
aamnineirs, Of which Mr.. Haynie is the Chairman,
upon the receipt of Mr. Jillson's circular
,'.'This Office, is not in funds" saith the State
Treasurer, and for this reason the authorities
are compelled to suggest that the public schools
be closed. 1t is time that the colored people
begin to enquire into the professions of their
Radical friends, who are willing to levy enor-
nous taxes for educational purposes, thereby
making a great show upon paper of their phil
anthropic motives, and then squander the money
to the neglect of the public schools. 1t is a
matter Of fact, and cannot be denied, that the
appropriations for school purposes have been
paid more reluctantly and with greater tardi-
ness so far as the State Treasury is concerned,
than any other item Of ordinary civil expenses.
The Legislature has not been slow to appro-
pirate, but the money has not been forth
coming '.-

To the People of Anderson County

FELLOW CITIZENS: I am not citizen of
your County, but we are citizens of the same
State and country, and are equally interested
in the preservation of constitutional liberty.
This can only be preserved in the State and
United States by the Democratic party. All
who love liberty and hate despotism should
rally under the folds of the Democratic banner
in the approaching State and national election.
The National Democratic Convention meets in
Baltimore on the 9th of July next. South
Carolina should be represented in this Conven-
tion and take part in selecting the standard
bearers of our great and glorious old party.
The State Democratic Convention of South
Carolina assemblies in Columbia on the 1lth of
June next to choose delegates to this National
Convention. Every County in the State should
be represented in this Convention. Anderson
County, which was one of the strongest Demo-
cratic Counties in the State in 1868, should
send full delegation of the ablest, purest and
most reliable Democrats within her borders.
We hope that at an early day the people of
Anderson will meet at the Court House and
choose her delegates to this Convention. We
would suggest that saleday in June would be
suitable day to select delegates. Let as all
stand square to the front in the pending con-
test, and battle faithfully for the perpetuation
of the principles of the Democratic party, and
make determined fight for the elevation to
office of men of known honesty and integrity.
May God bless US in this noble work is the
prayer of your obedient servant and fellow-cit-
izen. EDWARD F. STOKES,
A Democrat of South Carolina

Nav. Term.

- The Circuit Court for Anderson County be-
gan at this place on Monday last, his Honor
James L. Orr presiding. Monday and Tuesday
We're taken up with cases of burglary and
grand larceny, as follows:
81, The State vs Tilman Young, colored, indict-
ed for burglary. The defendant pleaded guilty
Of petit larceny, and was remanded for sem
tenee. r.... -ett,r:a
The State us. Vim. johnson, colored, indict-
ed for grand larceny, after the clearest testi-
mony on the part Of the prosecution, was sub
mitted, to the jury, without argument, and a
oserdicttof guilty returned in short time.
The State vs Samuel Johnson and Julia Lee,
both colored, indicted for receiving stolen
goods, was connected with the last-named case,
in that these parties received the money stolen
iBy'Wm. Johnson, who is mere lad, and the
son of Samuel johnson. Both were found
guilty OF. the offence charged against them,
and were remanded to Jail. The party here
alluded to is not Radical Sam. johnson.
On Wednesday morning, the case of the State
vs.. VIM. N. Davenport and Harvin Vandiver,
indicted for the murder of John w. Meeks in
June. 1865, was taken up. The grand jury
found true bill against the prisoners arraigned,
and Also against D. K Breazeale, jr., who has
not been arrested. The interest usually at
tacling to the trial of murder cases was in
tensiied in this instance by the long period
which had elapsed between the alleged murder
and the. disclosure of the horrible deed, and in
consequence there was a vast throng in the
Court House when the case was called. Messrs.
MCGOWAN & Moore appeared in behalf of Van
diver, and J. c. c. Featherston, ESQ., on the
part of Davenport, while Solicitor Perry con-
duets the prosecution. The principal witness
is the colored man, VIM. Brock, who claims to
have been accessory to the murder, and his ex-
animation lasted. for more than an hour. Ten
other witnesses for the prosecution were exam
med, when the Court took recess for dinner.
The testimony concluded this Wednesday, af.
ternoon, and the argument is being made as we
go 10 press.
When the murder case is ended, it is under
stood that Court will adjourn for the present
term. as it IS not the intention of Judge Orr to
touch the civil business Where juries might be
sreqnirsd. =

State Democratic Convention.

AS some apprehension prevails in reference
TO the call issued by the Central Executive
Committee, we beg to make statement touch
ing the authority under which we acted. The
committee, Of which we are members was ap-
pointed by the State Democratic Convention,
which met here August Z, 1868, and like the
National Democratic Committee, of course,
continues in existence until superseded by
new appointment, or is abrogated by the same
authority which created it.
AS it is the only organization in the State
which could properly take any action in refer
ence to the call made by the National Demo-
cratic Committee, for the assemblage of Ma
tional Convention, we thought that courtesy to
the National Committee, as well as duty to the
people, required some stems on our part. Act
ing upon these vic Va, and il accordance with
request that we should do 80, we suggested the
propriety of our people meeting in convention,
in order that they might consult or take such
action as seemed best to them.
In view of the grave questions which will
come before the Convention that is to meet
here we deem it of great importance that all
parts of the State should be fully and ably
represented, and we venture to express the
hope that every County will send a full delega-
ton.
The National Democratic Convention will
be forced either to place its own candidates in
the field, or to give its support open or implied,
to those of the Cincinnati Convention. The
Sonth prefers almost unanimously the Latter
alternative; and if we wish to make our sup
port of the Liberal movement of any avail, we
should use every legitimate means in our power
to secure the endorsement of the nominees Of
the Liberal Republican party.
Whether it is the best policy for the Nation
al Convention to meet or not, is no longer al
open question. II has been called together
All the other Southern States have responded
to the call; and as it is of the last consequence
that the whole power of the South should be
exerted there to protect the interests of our
people, we are decided in our opinion that our
State should be also represented But, Of
course, this is matter that belongs exclusive
ly to the Convention and we only express our
own individual convictions, being entirely sat-
isfed to leave the whole subject to- be deter
mined by the proper authority.
