Dealing Gently with the Erring.

Custom and common consent usu-
ally aceords considerable growing lat
itude to- the leaders of defeated party
and as we feel just nowin very good
humor with ourselves and all the
world besides, we are willing that the
Express shall scratch its sore head and
vent its dissatisfaction for n whole
week; but while doing this we shall
insist that it keeps within the con-
fines of truth, or as nearly so as its
dazed eyes and soured disposition will
permit. We shall gently lead It back
to the path of rectitude,- from which
it has so widely strayed of late and in
the performance of this kindly task
we shall commence with an error and
self contradiction in its yesterdays
issue. In an attempt to explain why
one of its candidates for Mayor was
not elected, it charges that the cleo
ton was carried by money and that
votes were purchased at prices ranging
from 50 so to S. each. Further on In
the same article it says there was con-
siderable hanging back by those who
believed votes would command a
higher price later in the afternoon.
This contradiction of itself we pass to
explain why the vote was less than
anticipated. There was more gen.
eral expression of sentiment than is
usually seen at an election in
this city. The vote was on principle
by men whose votes could not be pur-
chased. The purchasable vote-those
voters who usually come to the polls
late in the day and vote in little
squads-did not vote on Monday.
There were several hundred Of this
class whose ballots did not reach the
box. Their failure to connect was
due to this fact: Early in the forenoon
the opponents of Mr.. BEAUDRY real
lied the hopelessness of their case and
despaired of defeating him. They saw
that the purchasable vote would not
help them out and wisely concluded
to throw away no more money on a
hopeless case. The peoples candi-
dates would not buy votes and the re-
suit was that the piece voters not
finding purchaser held off until eve
ming and the polls closed on them
with their votes still on the market.
We are assured by old residents that
the election on Monday was fairer
expression of the people than has
been witnessed in this city for many
years. The purch hasable vote is the
one that was not counted.

San Fernando Town and Valley.

San Fernando valley will soon be
broad grain field. Some two thousand
acres will be seeded in wheat this sea-
son, and nearly or quite as many
acres will be sown in barley and other
small grain. A considerable area will
be planted in corn in the Spring. All
this is done in avalley which last year
was used for grazing purposes. The
town of San Fernando which is quite q
respectable village in size is produc-
tion of 1874. 1t is increasing rapidly
In population and buildings, and will
in short time, become quite busi-
ness place. 4 great deal of wheat
sown is already above ground and
gives promise of an abundant harvest.
Being protected by the hills from the
damp air of the coast, San Fernando
valley is well adapted to wheat grow.
ing, and will, we predict, ultimately
produce annually large quantity o
small grain. The soil is excellent, an,
increased irrigating facilities will in
sure large yields to the farmer.

A Valuable Map.

Engineer CRAWFORD has nearly
completed map which is an interest
ing study to the people of Southern
California, and especially so to those
of Los Angeles and San Bernardino
counties. 1t is nine feet square and
contains eighty-one superficial feet. 1t
shows an area of country 200 miles
square. Starting from San Diego, it
gives the coast line up to and includ-
ing Santa Barbara, and north and
east as far as Independence, Panamint,
Death valley and the sink of the Mo-
have. The valleys, mountains, towns,
railroads, stage roads, water courses
and mountain passes are all accurately
located and the whole region so care
fully mapped out that one sees the
broad extent of country at a glance
and az clearly as the section of a pam
Drama. 1t is valuable piece of work.

Moro Trouble In Louisiana.


NEW ORLEANS, December 7th.-
dispatches from Vicksburg report
lighting between the whites and the
negroes. The origin of tue trouble is
dispute between the citizens and the
county officials. The Sheriff, negro
named Crosby, is acting without Civ
ing bonds. The Board of Supervisors
refused to order a new election and
several county officials are under in
dictment. The citizens went to the
Court House to demand their resigna-
tion.u They all fed except the Sheriff,
who resigned. This created an excite
ment amongst the negroes, who, in
order to reinstate the Sheriff, marched
on the town, to the number of $50.
The citizens assembled and drove
them back, with loss of 20 killed, 20
wounded and 40 prisoners. One white
man was killed. The negroes are now
raiding in the country, burning gin
houses and dwellings.
Congress in Session.
WASHINGTON, December Sth.-The
Senate was called to order at noon
yesterday. The Presidents Message
was read and approved and ordered
printed. The reports of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, the Department of
Justice and the Comptroller of Cur
rency were presented. A number of
bills We're introduced. sfeFN
In the House, 2SS members were
present The Message was read and
appropriation bills reported. Notice
was given of q bill to repeal the game
law, by Phelphs.
The President has sent to theSenate
the nomination of Marshall Jewell as
Postmaster.
Critical Condition of Affairs tn yicks-
burg.
NICKSBURG, December 5th. - The
situation here is critical. Crosby, the
Sheriff, who went to Jackson to con-
suit with Governor Ames, on his return
to Vicksburg yesterday demanded his
Office, which had been taken away by
Col. McBaird. His demand was re-
fused. The Governor, it is said, will
reinstate him by force, if necessary,
and is preparing to organize regi-
ment of militia, to whom arms have
been sent. Trouble is brewing and an
outbreak is expected at any moment.
The Taxpayers held meeting last
night.

THE Courier says a party of engi-
neers passed through Bakersfield on
their way to Tehachepa last week.
They are to construct a wagon road
somewhere in that vicinity, where the
railroad will term mate, to connect
with the mines of Cerro Gordo and
Panamint. STANFORD & Co. have
fully determined to secure the trade of
that region at as early day as possi-
ble This is a suggestive fact to the
people of Los Angeles county. The
Lord helps those who help themselves.

A Publisher Assasssnated.

MERGED, December -7th. - This
morning Edward Madden, editor of
the Merced Tribune. was shot dead on
the street by Harry Granice, step-son
of J. r. Steele, of the San Soaquin
argus. A contest going on between
the two papers had been carried to the
extent of bitter personalities, which
provoked the murder. Granice shot
Madden from behind without warn
ing. Much excitement prevails, and
threats have been made to lynch
Granice, which it is thought will be
done, unless he is removed to safer
quarters. 5tl-

State of Nevada are chronicling an
unusually early fall of snow and ter
ribly cold weather, and the peaceful
farmers of Sacramento, Yolo, Yuba

flowing rivers, the "poor devils" who
went away to Panamint, 7,2O0 feet

death this Winter, are enjoying as
fine weather in December as could be
desired at almost any time of the year.

acted wisely and prudently in postponipg the
matter of nominating candidate for Congress

The citizens of Anderson County were repre-
sented in free conference with the delegates
by number of gentlemen, who were requested
by an impromptu meeting to urge the propriety
of calling popular convention at some future
time. This plan was concurred in by the sew
eral delegations present, and call appears in
another column for Congressional Conven-
ton to meet at Newberry G. H. on Thursday,
Sth of October, for the purpose Of nominating
a candidate for Congress from the Third Dis
trict The mass meetings which will appoint
delegates to the State Convention will be ex-

Amendments to the State Constitution.

There are three amendments to the State
Constitution, which will be submitted to the
people at the next election.
l. In regard to changing the boundary line
between Pickcns and Oconee Counties from
White Water to Toxaway River. The present
boundary is said to occasion great inconyen-
icnce to the people interested.
@ 1t is proposed to change the term of office
of the Comptroller General, Secretary of State,
Treasurer, Attorney General, Adutant and In
spector General, and Superintendent of Educa-
ton from four to two years. by which all the
State officers will be elected every two years.
3. This amendment prohibits the General
Assembly from authorizing any county, city,
town or village to become stakeholder in, or
to loan its credit to any company association
or corporation for any amount exceeding five
per cent. of the assessed value of the taxable
property of such county, city, town or village,
without the approval of majority of the legal
voters thereof, expressed at an election duly
held according to law.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1874-09-24

in bringing about harmony and concord among
the anti-Radical voters, it is not intended that
the organization will become responsible TOR
the entire result, or will exclusively control
the selection of candidates. Should primary
election be held, or delegates to nominating
convention be chosen, every conservative voter
will be urged to participate, fully and freely
in the consummation of either plan. The
members of the Tax Unions would have
no undue influence in determining the result,
and would simply stand in the same position
of every other conservative. The organization
must be used, undoubtedly, in an active and
efficient manner to promote the ends Of good
government, and supporting the best men Tor
official position as means to that desirable
end. Hence, it is designed only as an efficient
aid in concentrating the opponents of public
plunderers at the ballot-box, and arousing the
people from fatal apathy and dangerous IN
difference to the public welfare.
