Not a Candidate.

The following emphatic card from John R.
Cochran, Esq, explains itself: Although ru'
NOR has been busy with Mr. Cochran's name
as an aspirant for Congressional honors, we
have known for some time that he repudiated
any such ambition, and contemplated devoting
his entire time and energy for the future in
private pursuits. His course as a member of
the Legislature has been open, fearless and
consistent, endeavoring to rectify abuses and
serve his constituents. We are free to make
this declaration, as q matter Of simple justice,
and because we have never agreed with him in
politics, since he became Republican. The
card is herewith appended:
COLUMBIA, s. O., March 5, 1874.
To the Editor of the Daily Union:
find the following, which am aware has
been going the rounds, in your issue of to-
day.. ,,,..,.,, ..,,,o-. ~, 4ho .+,o... - .,
John r. Cochran, of Anderson, is probable
candidate for Congressman from the Third
District for the next term"
] take this method of informing my friends
and enemies, personal and political, that !
have never thought of being candidate for
Congress from the Third or other Congress
sional District, nor will think of it under
any consideration. / have no desire to serve
the State hereafter in office, as Congressman
or otherwise. / have my own private affairs
to look after, and cannot afford to neglect them
longer.

A Sfrai0hE Fence.

Persons from the country are invited to ex-
anime the straight rail fence in front of MIR.
A. R. Broyles' residence, or rather the few
panels constructed there for the purpose of
showing the economy and utility of this patent.
The numerous advantages of this plan over
the ordinary method of building fences are
senerally acknowledged, and every farmer can
iudge fog himself as to the stability and cheap
ness of the straight fence. Should the people
determine to fence their stock instead Of the
crops, We predict a great popularity for this
patent, which is exceedingly valuable for its
strength aud durability, no less than for the
facility with which the fence can be removed
to any desired portion of the farm, where the
pasture for stock might change during the sea-
son. Mr.. BToyles is the agent at this place,
and will take pleasure in explaining the merits
of this patent to any one interested

DIED, in Bloomfield, KY, February 18th,
1874, THOMAS HALL, Jr., eldest son OF Rev.
Thomas Hall, aged l9 years and II days.
This noble youth was born in Charleston,
s. C., but he sleeps his last sleep in the distant
West, far from the graves of his kindred. On
his last birthday he was taken with slight
chill, the precursor of typhoid fever, which, on
the seventeenth day, terminated his earthly
]ifa.
Amiable, truthful and dutiful, as boy, he
was maturing into a vigorous manhood, In
which the gifts of nature, blended with those
of piety, gave promise of great satisfaction to
his friends and usefulness to the world. Last
November, he was baptized by his father, and
during his brief Christian profession, the gen
uineness and depth Of his piety were clearly
shown. His end was calm and triumphant;
He yearned to ego home and "be with Christ" !"
Brother Hall will receive the sincere sympa-
thy of his many friends in this State-espe-
cially those of them who have looked upon the
face of dead son, and know the anguish OF
| such a loss. y. l.. Il.

An Emphatic Response to the Tax-Pay-
ers' Memorial.

The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted by the Georgia Legislature on the Goth
of February. The sympathy and cooperation
of gallant Georgia will be warmly received by
the oppressed citizens Of this State, and is an
other evidence that the miserable, ruinous
government of this State is rightly esteemed
beyond our borders:
WHEREAS, the tax-paying citizens of South
Carolina, in Convention assembled, have ad-
dressed the morality, the justice, and patriotism
of the people of the United States in q me-
mortal to Congress, by which it is made to
appear that they are suffering from an organ
lied system of oppression, under the form of a
local government, inaugurated amid the chaos
of revolution by unprincipled political adyen-
turers and sustained through the cooperation
of their unfortunate dupes, the recently en-
franchised negroes and whereas, this appeal
to the people comes to US, citizens of Georgia,
who, through Providence, have escaped the
tyranny of the oppression which these, our
brethren of South Carolina, have so long en-
dured. Therefore, be it
Resolued, by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of Georgia, That the representa-
tions made by the memorial of the Taxpayers
Convention, recently held in Columbia, South
Carolina, present catalogue of outrage and
wrong scarcely having parallel in the annals
of Christian civilization, and is an appeal to
the patriotism and moral sense of the people
of the United States, demanding their grayest
consideration.
Resolved, That as the genius of our Repub-
lican form of government rests in security only
in the virtue and intelligence of the citizen,
these cannot be ignored without destroying the
safeguards of liberty, and without corrupting
the form of government established by our
fathers.
Resolved, That we extend our sympathy to
the good people of South Carolina in the Or
deal through which they have been called to
pass; and while we cannot but admire the
spirit of forbearance and fortitude with which
they have endured these outrages and suffered
these wrongs, we condemn the perpetrators
thereof as being responsible for the material
ruin of a gallant people and the overthrow of
the Republican government of great State.
Resolved, That our Representatives in the
Congress of the United States be requested to
cooperate with the delegates from the "Tax-
payers Convention" of South Carolina in
securing such representation of their grrievan.
ces, and remedy therefor, as may be deemed
e1pedient.
Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor
be requested to transmit these resolutions to
the president and members of the "Tax-payers'
Convention" of South Carolina.
