STEwED OYsTERs-Drain the liquor
from two quarts of firm, plump oysters
mix with a small teacupful of hot water,
add little salt and pepper, and set over
the fire in a saucepan. When it comes to
boil large cupful Of rich milk Cream
is better. Let it boil up once, put in the
oysters, let them boil for five minutes or
less-no more. When they "ruffie,'' add
two tablespoonful of butter, and the in
slant it is melted and well stirred in take
the saucepan from the fire. Serve with
oyster or cream crackers as soon as pos
sible. Oysters become tough and taste
less when cooked too mucn, or left to
stand too long when they are Withdrawn
from the fire. A good and safe plan is,
to heat the milk in separate vessel set
in another of hot water, and after it is
mingled with the liquor and oysters stir
assiduously or it may catch,'' as the
cooks say. e., scorch on the sides or
bottom of the saucepan.

The Republican State Convention.

This body will meet in Columbia on Tues
day, Sth of September, for the purpose of nom
mating candidates for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor. The results of this Convention
will decide whether or not there is any sincerity
in the professions of the Republican leaders,
who are loudly demanding reform on every
hand, and whose protestations of their ability
and willingness to rectify abuses within their
party lines are now to be tested. We confess
to an utter want of faith in their professions,
and this disbelief is founded upon past expert
ence. None of the party can expect any rei-
ance to be placed in their declarations and
pledges, unless the nominees upon their plat
form are men of undoubted integrity, thorough
competency and tried devotion to the States
best interests. It is within their power to give
the amplest guarantees for an honest and eco
nomical administration of the State govern
ment for the next two years, and to place men
in nomination who will command the respect
of the country. But complete revolution
must take place within the party lines, and we
perceive no evidence that such q revolution can
be effected. Certainly, as matters now stand,
the choice of their standard bearer lies be-
tween Moses and Chamberlain, neither Of
whom will afford the slightest security in favor
of good government. Both are guilty before
the world of participation in the sins of dere-
hction and commission, so often perpetrated
in the name of Republicanism during the last
six years, and it is the sheerest nonsense to
expect purity and reformation from such un-
worthy sources.

The State Tax Union.

a call has been issued for the delegates from
the various counties to meet in Columbia on
Thursday next, 10th of September, to organize
the State Tax Union Each County will be
entitled to three delegates, and it will be the
duty of the County Tax Union, when organized
on Monday next, to select three delegates to
represent Anderson County. The selection
should embrace men of ability, discretion and
sound judgment, whose suggestions will have
weight among the members of the State Union,
for upon the action of this body will depend
much of the usefulness and benefits to accuse
from the organization itself. AS the central
power, giving direction and guidance to the
efforts of the taxpayers in securing better gov
ernment, the State Union should include the
wisest and best men in the commonwealth,
whose devotion and integrity cannot be ques-
toned, and whose judgment will command re-
spect from the entire people. Hence, the ne
eessity for ajudicious selection, which we would
impress upon the members of the County Un-
ION in advance We believe that nearly every
township will be represented at the meeting on
Monday, and there is no doubt as to the ear
nestness and determination of the delegates to
perform the duties imposed upon them with an
eve single to the best interests of their constit
uents

The Latest Sensation.

A special dispatch to the Greenville Daily
Neacs informs US that Senator Patterson arrived
In Washington on Sunday, with accounts of
fresh outrages, and depicting with great earn
estness the terrorism existing in this State
among the negroes and white Republicans
He afirms that he has never seen such a con-
dition of affairs in this State before; that MUIR
ders and murderous outrages are daily occur
ring, and an armed outbreak is inevitable
The former leaders of the Ku Klux are organ
izing and drilling rifle clubs all over the State,
from which Republicans are excluded, and one
days notice will bring $500 drilled men, fully
armed and equipped, into the field. His only
hope lies in the Federal army, and his mission
to Washington is to have troops distributed
throughout the State, and retained here until
after the election. He believes the Republi-
cans can carry the State, if the troops are here
to preserve order. He thinks Chamberlain will
be nominated for Governor by the Republican
party, and that Gen. Kershaw will be the
Democratic nominee.
Such is the sensational story of the valiant
Senator, whose imagination was wrought upon
with the terrible fright occasioned by party
of Jolly and hilarious fox-hunters Patterson
is an eminently proper man to fix up the pro-
gramme for creating an excitement against the
white people of South Carolina, since he is
peculiarly gifted in mendacious falsehood and
unscruprlous misrepresentation. The New
York Herald advises President Grant, before
yielding to the clamor for more troops in the
South, to hear the statement Of the other sde
including such men as Kershaw and Gordon
and we have no doubt the President will act
mon this sensible advice.

Newspaper Postage.

En- regard to the new postal law, We would
remind our friends that newspapers now go
through the mails free of postage In the Ooun'
~ where published, and that this part OF the
1sw took effect on the first of July last. On
the first of January next, publishers will be re-
quired to make prepayment upon all newspa-
pers sent beyond the limits of the County, and
it will be necessary to transact business on the
cash system exclusively, as we cannot afford to
give credit, under the circumstances. suoscrl-
bers beyond the limits of Anderson County
will please observe the effect of this law, and
make payment in advance, or we shall be COM
pelled to strike their names from the list when
the time paid for has expired.

LECTURE BY COL. j. p. THO.M4S.

LECTURE BY COL. u. L. 1dO-u-1S.
On Monday evening last, Col. j. P. Thomas.
the able and accomplished Superintendent OF
the Carolina Military Institute at Charlotte, n.
c., delivered in the Court House to a large and
appreciative audience, an eloquent lecture on
"South Carolina, in the past, the present and
the future"
After being introduced by the Hon. J. p.
Reed, and after rendering his thanks to the
audience for their presence on tho occasion, he
announced his subject. He spoke in eloquent
terms of the past military glory of South Car
olina, saying that her warriors, in the long ago,
had won for themselves and for their native
State, the brightest place upon the pages Of
American history. lie then alluded to South
Cardinals Historians Poets and Philosophers,
all of whom, he said, stood high III the depart
ments of literature and science, and who have
left behind them in their histories, their philo-
sophical writings, their poetry and their ro-
nance, sufficient evidence Of their ability and
worth. He then referred to the present sad
condition of the State, saying that while We
prospered and hourished in the past in the
possession Of the institution Of slavery, VIC
must prosper more now, since we must depend
entirely upon ourselves to work out, either for
veal or for woe, our own destinies, and tho
destinies Of South Carolina. The maiden Of
the past reared in atfluence and wealth. and
growing up pale and inactive, will now be tho
healthy girl with glowing cheeks, buoyancy
and life the youth Of tho past, whose muscles
were but little developed, must now be the
strong man-must apply himself to work to
redeem his State, to develop her vast resources
and to advance her agricultural, mechanical
present condition of the State, he maintained
that this state Of affairs could not possibly last,
as it would be contrary to all well established
theories concerning changes in governments.
He said that the present situation was not as
deplorable as people imagine it to be-. Develop
the resources of tho State, guard its honor, let
it's people keep pure, and soon the sun OF pros
perity shall ariso and cast its beams upon
people glowing in all the blessings Of self
government. He urged the necessity of s.,n'd-
ing by the State in all her trials and dangers,
and concluded by saying that the South Caro-
lima to come would be grander than the South
Carolina of old, more glorious than the South
Carolina Of tho past, and her civilization high
er, purer, and stronger than the civilization Of
the past.
The lecture was one of the finest and best
delivered that we have ey cr heard, and reflects
great credit upon Col. Thomas.

Senator Patterson.

a correspondent of the Charleston Ne'os r'a
Courier reports the substance of speech made
by Senator Patterson at Blackville not long
ago, in which that valiant manipulation OF Blue
Ridge Railroad scrip gave utterance to the 1ol-
lowing: "They (the whites) are organizing
Oranges, Tax Unions and Rife Clubs NY
friends, be on the watch-these organizations
bode evil The people of Edgefeld petitioned
Gov. Moses to take away the arms of the COL
ored people-why did he, at the same time, not
order the white people to send in their arms
Now. don't give up your arms until the white
people give up theirs. I advise you 10 De on
your guard"
These insidious teachings of Honest John
are scarcely in keeping with his brave demean-
or In Columbia the other night, when he
sought protection at the hands of the Federal
officers from the onward trap of fox-hunting
party, He is bold enough to instil wrong ideas
into the minds of the colored people, when
there is no one to contradict his reckless asser-
tions. Yet, at the mere rumor of probable
danger, his knees quake and tremble, and be
begins at once to importune the interference
and protection of an army officer. lie IS
daring leader who skulks away at the bare
mention of an enemy His advice to the ne
eroes to stand firm and refuse to surrender
their arms indicates great bravery in Senator
Patterson, for he is undoubtedly willing to
sacrifice every black man in the anticipated
"war of races" provided his own precious car
cass is saved Now, we are tired of these Rad
ical orators going over the country, and at
tributing dangerous or malicious designs to the
Oranges and Tax Unions, whose objects and
purposes are eminently peaceful and benehclal'
The unknightly liars are we'll aware of the fal-
sity of their declarations, and wherever such
declarations are made, white men should be
upon the ground to brand them false, in the
presence of the negroes. As to the Rifle Clubs,
manv of these are charitable associations, or
social organizations of ex-Confederate soldiers
If they are armed, their own money paid for
the weapons, and the State cannot compel
surrender. The Governor has control of the
arms belonging to the militia, and it ls rank
sedition when Senator Patterson advises the
negroes to disobey the orders Of the proper au-
thority. Such teachings do more to bring
trouble upon the State than all the organlza-
tions combined including the militia. The
incendiary harangues of Patterson aud his
kind begets discord and arouses bad feelings in
both races, unfortunately. we shall see hap
pier times when such adventures return per-
manently to the homes which they have tenn
porarily forsaken for the spoils in South Caro-
lima
