ADDRESS OF COL. TRESCOT

On Monday last (saleday) Col. W. H. Tres
cot, of Pendleton, a candidate for Congress
from this District, delivered in the Court House
to large audience, an able and eloquent ad-
dress, upon the present condition and affairs OF
the State government and the means of redress
from existing grievances. Being introduced
by the Hon. J. P Reed, and thanking the au-
diencc for their presence, he began by saying,
that thirteen years ago he was forced by the tor
tunes of war to leave his home in the low coun-
try, and together with his family sought re-
fuge, and found shelter here. He said that the
people of the up-country had honored him
with place in the Legislature, and had fur
ther shown their appreciation, all of which ne
remembered with gratitude. He said, that the
deplorable condition of South Carolina to-day
was owing to the corruption OF, and the mis-
management of public affairs by the Republl-
can party of the State. With Carpenter speaking
against Parker and Parker against the rest of the
Republican candidates. and they in turn against
each other, what will be the result? Can re-
form possibly be brought about in the party
when such diversity exists, and when unprln-
ciped men who have squandered and stolen
the public monies and committed other gross
and enormous frauds, are permitted to be can
didates for other and higher positions than the
ones they have disgraced. Take, then, the Re
publican leaders as they speak of themselves,
and you cannot suffer them to perpctuate their
power He said, that, if he thought the peo-
pie would not use their utmost endeavors to
strive for right he would not advise them as he
did to-day The measureess Importance OF
this crisis is in your hands, and it becomes
your duty as men, and as citizens to go to work
at once and make the most OF it. Make one
grand effort, and if you succeed you will be
blessed, but if you fail there will be at least
one cor ISOLATION that your failure was not ow-
ing to YOUR want of zeal in the glorious cause.
.Judpmcnt and discretion should always teach
Us what is right and We should invariably fol-
low their dictates. There arc two things which
have upheld the Republican party in this
State. First: The Republican party have had
the support of the administration at Washing
ton and the people Of the North. Second :
That they have impressed upon both that they
were the only friends of the colored people.
He said the colored people support the men,
bers of the party because they think that Gen
Grant upholds them. The people of the North
have however, given up that support, and now
from Massachusetts California; oes up the
cry of Indignation at the enormous wrongs
which have been perpetrated upon South

The Cotton Crop of Anderson County.


We have made diligent inquiry among the
farmers as to the prospect of the cotton crop IN
this section. Three or four weeks ago there
was every indication of an excellent yield, and
the farmers were gladdened at the anticipated
remuneration for their labors. But the talr
prospect has rapidly diminished, and there is a
general concurrence in the opinion that the
crop has deteriorated fully one-half within the
last few weeks. The blight or rust ruined the
prospect in many localities, where the squares
and leaves are dying or already dead, and the
stalk is materially injured. Others complain
that the shedding of squares has completely
decimated the top crop, while maturing bolis
are faulty and Insignificant. Some ascrloe
this great change to the unusual character OF
the weather for the last month, beginning with
the excessive heat between the 10th and 10Th
of August, which was followed by dry weather
until the cold, unreasonable rains during the
last days of August We conclude, from the
best evidence attainable, that the cotton crop
has been injured fifty per cent. in the greater
portion of Anderson County, although an occa-
sional farmer may be found who has been more
highly favored, and whose prospects are more
encouraging.

4udce Cooke VS.. Senator Patterson.

The Greenville Daily Ners has recently in
terviewed Judge Thompson II. Cooke, OF the
Eighth Judicial Circuit and obtained an ex-
preston of opinion from him in regard to the
startling falsehoods promulgated by Senator
Patterson, so far as they relate to the condition
of this portion of the State. Judge Cooke
unhesitatingly affirmed that the five counties
in this Circuit are peaceable and quiet, and
that he would regard the introduction of troops
therein as a reflection upon the people, and
upon his judicial ability to maintain good
order. He sees no evidence of resort to vlo-
lence nor does he believe there will be any
extreme measures inaugurated. There is,
however a spark of resistance to the present
State government, which may be kindled into
fame Of active, legitimate resistance to NAL
administration and misrule. He does not
know of any murders or outrages committed
in these counties of political nature, nor
does he remember of any being committed
within the State during the past two years
he believes the introduction of Federal troops
would greatly tend to embitter the races against
each other, encourage the INSCRIPTIONS mem
bers of the Republican party, strike down every
hudable effort for reform, and postpone tor an
indefinite period the complete reconciliation
and harmony of the races. These are the
chief points Of interest developed by the inter-
view and demonstrate conclusively that Judge
Cooke will not lend his aid to the vile ISLANDERS
coneocted by Patterson. We are gratified to
hear these prompt and emphatic utterances of
a Republican Judge, who has so justly vindi-
Gated the good name of slandered people,
and acquitted himself thereby.

Chamberlain for Moses: That while he was
willing to acknowledge Chamberlain as
gentleman of much ability, yet, he could not
forget that he was the companion OF Scott,
Parker and others of like character. The
Republican party stands before the general
government to-day, arragned and condemned.
What is the position of the Republican party
towards the colored people? They use them
as docile ignorant dupes to further their evil
designs, which designs satisfy their pockets and
their ambition. When the colored people took
possession of the State in 1868 they turned
over the government to the Republican party,
and what have they done? Had they kept up
good government no objections would have
been made He said that it was not to the in
terests of the people to establish either white
mans government or black mans; but to es-
tablish good government for the benefit of
all. He ended, by saying, that these were his
views on the subject, and hoped that the peo-
pie would do what was right in the matter. If
they did not wish to vote for him to serve
them in Congress then vote for some one else
but let him be able and honest The speaker
was much applauded.

The President and the South.

President Grant has addressed letter to the
Secretary of War, in which he turns over the
South to the tender mercies of Attorney Gen.
eral Williams. He has since expressed himself
as sincerely desirous of leaving the Southern
States to take care of their own political affairs
without interference on the part of the Federal
government, but the existence of lawlessness
and violence in some of the States was undeni-
able, and hence the preliminary orders for the
movement of the troops are legitimate and
proper. He hopes the moral effect of the pres
ence of troops may render their active use un-
necessary, but under the representations made
to him, it would be neglect of duty not to take
steps for the prevention of threatened evils
The following is the letter referred to-:
General w. W. Belkaap, Secretary Of Var:
The recent atrocities iE the South, partlcu-
larly in Louisiana, Alabama and South Caro-.
lima, show disregard for law, civil rights and
personal protection that ought not to be toer-
ated in any civilized government. 1t looks as
if, unless speedily checked, matters must be-
come worse, until life and property there Will
receive no protection from the local authorities,
Sucn auCnOrlIy DeCouiluS po"cii0oo' Chooi
such circumstances it is the duty of the govern
ment to give all the aid for the protection of
life and civil rights legally authorized. 10 this
end wish you would consult with the Attor-
ney General, who is we'll informed as to the
outrages already committed, and the local
tiles where the greatest danger lies, and so
order troops as to be available in case
of necessity. All proceedings for the pro-
tection of the South will be under the Law
Department of the government, and will
be directed by the Attorney General, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the Enforce
ment acts. No instructions need therefore be
given the troops ordered into the Southern
States, except as they may be transmitted from
time to time on advice from the Attorney Gen
eral, or as circumstances may determine here
after. Yours truly,
U. S. GRANT.

him he should be elected that the government
at Washington demanded a concise reform, and
if the Republicans voted for Moses they would
ruin theirinterests.
The Rev. Allen Pickett, candidate for Con-
gress, was next introduced. He said that he did
not seek the nomination from the first, but that
friends came to him sometime ago and reques-
ted him to be candidate; that the colored
people desired for colored man to 90 to
Washington City and represent them, but as
regarded question of color, he was not in IA
vor Of it; that it was not his intention to advo-
cate a usurpation of the government by the
colored men, but if the majority of the voters
wished colorod representative he thought it
nothing but just; that when the Civil Rights
Bill came up, the majority of the members of
Congress voted against it, but at the same time
urged that colored men should be sent to Con-
gress that he could have had office long ago
If he had went around like other parties and
told the colored people many bad things that
an honest man was the noblest work of God,
and it had ever been his principle to work for
honesty and truth that the political leaders
always showed the bright side Of the picture,
but never the dark side; that the masses OF
the colored people have been pursuing the dark
course, owing to the teachings of unprincipled
leaders; he hoped that the people would open
their eyes, and do what was just and right, and
become cognizant of that pride which belonged
| to the American people, and to beware of those
men who offered them whiskey and bribes
that he hoped the time had now arrived when
| the people would act right in the matter, and
| retrieve the fallen fortunes of the State; that
| if they did not, this was the last hour.
Business being resumed, Capt. G. w. Belcher
moved that committee Of nine be appointed
! by the Chair to choose delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention. The motion was car
ried, a committee appointed and the following
named delegates chosen: Green Jenkins, w.
H. Williford and Capt. G. w. Belcher. Alter
mates, Col. James Long, Capers Shelton and
Rev. Allen Pickett.
6. D. Williams then offered SOME resolutions
| recommending that Col. J. R. Cochran be again
elected Chairman Of the Republican party OF
Anderson County, which were adopted.
Col. James Long was called upon, and de-
nounced the idea of electing men who belonged
to other States to fill any offices under the State
Government of South Carolina.
The Convention then adjourned.

The Trade and Business of Charleston.

The Charleston News and Courier has issued
an elaborate review of the trade and commerce
of that city during the year ending Sept l.,
1874 from which we CLEAN interesting and en-
couraging facts connected with The material
progress of our commercial metropolis. The
receipts of cotton during the year amoun1to
437 ,O35 bales, all increase of nearly $1,000
bales over the preceding year. This statement
is the more gratifying, when we consider that
Charleston is the only cotton port of Importance
which received more cotton during the past
wear than in any preceding year since the war.
Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans lost heavi-
ly in receipts during the year now closed.
In rice. naval stores and lumber, good
showing is made, and encouraging facts exhlb-
tied. The manufacture of commercial tertill-
zers continues to give active employment to
large amount of capital. About $4,000 tons OF
crude phosphate were consumed by the manu-
factories in Charleston, and the total exports
and consumption reach the enormous total of
1o515 tons. This is valuable branch of
business. and marks growing era in the pros
,er;tv Of the city, steadily increasing from the
original export of sic tons in 1867, and prom
isTne greater development in the future. The
general trade of Charleston is unequaled ny
any other city Oh the South Atlantic coast, and
the annual sales amount to twenty-five millions
Of dollars, divided between the groceries, pro-
visions, dry goods, sc. The gross value OF
trade during the past year ranges between
eighty and ninety millions of dollars, an IN
crease Of more than ten millions, notwithstand-
iug the depressing effects ofthe panic. We con-
qratulate the old "cty by the sea- on its steady
