Steam Tannery.

Among tie evidences of progress and devel-
opment in our midst, we are pleased to record
the intended estabiRhment Of Steam Tan
merry ans Griss Mill oa the let adjacent to the
Depot, now owned by Mr. 8. McCully- The
buildingssa are already framed, and will be
brought down from Walhalla md put up i'm
meaiately. Messrs. A. H. Osborne and P X.
McCnlly are the proprietors, and we learn that
it is their intention to begin operations in
about six weeks. In addition to the business
abSye indicated, they propose to erect a ware
house for the storage of cotton and to establish
a wagon yard on the same lot, both of which
arc needed for the growing business of our
town. It gives Us sincere pleasure to note
these evidences of energy and thrift upon the
part of our young friends, and we wish them
abundant snccess in every department of their
business. - 80 .,-es@,4,s. -: ii

The Connecticut Election.

The returns from the election held in Con-
necticut on Monday last indicate the. choice
of Jewell for Governor. He was elected last
year by only eighty-six majority, which will be
slightly increased the present year. The Dem
ocratic candidate was Mr.. R. D. Hubbard, a
former member of Congress. Gov. JEWELS
reelection will create considerable enthusiasm
among the Grant Republicans, and the triumph
in New Hampshire and Connecticut doubtless
removes all uncertainty as to the denomination
Of Grant by the Philadelphia Convention. 1t
may now be expected that the National De-
mocracy will pursue such course as to bring
about full coalition with the liberal Republi-
cans, and should the Cincinnati Convention,
which meets on the first day of May, present
acceptable candidates for President and Vice
President, the Democrats will probably unite
at once upon this ticket, in. order to defeat
Grant at the next election.

Arrests in Newberry and Laurens.


The Columbia Phenir has information that
extensive arrests were being made in Newberry
last Monday. It is understood that fully two
hundred warrants have been issued for citizens
of that county, charged with Ku Kluxing.-
Among the arrests already made, we find the
names Of Henry Suber, Mr.. Lovelace, a prom
inent merchant of Newberry, and son of the
late Gen. J. 81. Kinard.
Nearly three hundred warrants have been
issued for citizens of Laurens, and many arrests
were made in that town on Sunday and Mon
day. 1t is reported that DR.. John W. Simpson,
Alex. McCarly, Esq, 81. W. Anderson, R. E.
Richardson and his two brothers, Col. B. S.
Jones, John H. Little, with many Others, were
put in Jail Sunday. A detachment of cavalry
arrived in Laurens on Sunday morning about
daybreak, accompanied by Deputy Marshals,
and arrests began at once and continued
throughout the day. On Monday the citizens
from the country were permitted to enter the
town without molestation, but many of them
were taken IN charge by the military in the
afternoon, when they started for their homes.
1t is supposed that the Jail was nearly full on
Monday night, and strong guard was stationed
around that building.

Masonic Statistics.

The proceedings of the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina show that there are one hundred and
forty-nine (149y Chartered Lodges upon itsfnh
in active, working order. Fifteen (15) charters

and twenty-eight (12S) Lodges were represent
ed Six thousand, four hundred and seventy
six (6,476) Master Masons are in full aailiation
within this jurisdiction. Solomon's Lodge, No.
1, of Charleston, has the largest membership,
there being one hundred and thirty l1S0)
members reported. The second highest num-

metal. Evidently a considerable amount of
work was accomplished, and the party, not
wishing to expose their valuable discovery,
concluded to return to their homes, to rest in
peace and quietude the remainder of their days.
In mentioning of this mine, might take
the liberty of referring to N. A. Pratt, NJ. D.,
late professor of chemistry and geology in
Oglethorpe University, Ga. To mine advan-
tageously requires large capital, and a certain
unity of purpose, which can only be secured by
perfect confidence in the stability and security
of investments. To manufacture requires more
capital and risk than to mine, and such enter
prises should be fostered and encouraged by
Fthe State by light taxation or total exemption
therefrom. We are in need of capital, mining
and manufacturing skill, enterprise and energy.
Our mountains, he also afirms, are full of gold,
silver, copper, lead, iron, manganese, and sui
phur, besides valuable precious stones. Our
midland belt abounds in the purest kaolin, or
china clay, now daily applied to some new or
novel use, also the best of fire proof clays and
sands for glass, pottery, and crucible manufac-
ture.
Prof Pratt mentions still further, that now
there has been discovered, for the first time in
the history of America, that, which for many
years overlooked is of all else in the State or
country most valuable to an agricultural COM
munity, for the calcareous beds of South Caro-
lima, heretofore recognized as perhaps the most
valuable and remarkable in the world, contain
an element of fertility which is destined to re-
model our system of agriculture, restore activi-
ty, energy and life to our people, give conf
dence to trade, spread out the tapping sails of
commerce, and impart fertility and verdure to
the exhausted acres of the world. he says,
now are the prospects before you. Here are
the means of your redemption. Be no longer
incredulous, suspicious, and exacting. Extend
countenance, sympathy, and hearty and cor
dial God-speed to those who come among you
with capital, energy and skill, to build up your
waste and desolate places. Then take hold
with will, explore and develope, mine and
export. A. Z. l..

+. The Ku Klux Cases.

Contrary to general expectation, the Supreme
Court decided to grant the motion authorizing
writs of ha6cas corpus and certiorari to issue in
the case of T. Jefferson Greer, one of the Ku
Klux prisoners, who is now confined in the
Jail at Charleston; This decision creates con-
siderable uneasiness among the adherents of
the present administration, who are likely to
discern it's meaning as affording an opportunity
to test fully the constitutipnality of the En-
forcement Law, as tits called, by which Presi-
dent Grant exercised the prerogative Of sus-
pending the writ of ha6eas corpus in nine coun-
ties of South Carolina. To review the pro-
ceedings of the Circuit Court under this law,
and possibly to overturn the whole fabric OF
tyrannical oppression and wrong, is what the
willing tools Of Grant are not seeking at the
hands of the Supreme Court, but the distin-
guished counsel for the prisoners are deter
mined to press forward in the work entrusted
to their hands. The following special dispach
