Houston, TEXAS, Oct. II, l.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, Oct. II, 1874.
The planters of Texas are tired of negro
labor, which, as general thing, is totally un-
reliable. They have been trying to get along
with it ever since the war, and, having at last
despaired of success, they are about making
combined effort to bring into the State class
of white labor which is both skilled and relia-
BILE. Aided by the liberality of the Interna-
tional & Great Northern r. R., the people
along the line of the five hundred miles of its
road have undertaken an enterprise which will
no doubt result in bringing them thousands of
good laborers and tenants by time to commence
putting in the crops in January.
The different counties along the line of the
five hundred miles of its road, have appointed
a delegate to go out into the Southeastern
States, and make contracts with people to come
here, and supplying them with advance money,
when necessary. These delegates will go to-
gether on an excursion train, which starts on
the 18th of November, and will 60 as far as
Atlanta, Ga. Remaining there two weeks, it
will give the delegates time to scatter out
through the States of Mississippi, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina,
and find people who are willing to come.
Through the exertions of the international
& Great Northern Railroad, the fare has
been reduced to II cents per mile, so that
it will cost the emigrant from Anderson only
about - dollars to get into the heart of the
richest cotton growing section of Texas, besides
having liberal advance of money, and good
and we'll specified terms from the landowner
here.
About fifty delegates will go, and they will
visit all the principal places in the States men-
toned. To those wishing to come to new,
growing and bountifully producing country,
there can be no better opportunity than this.
So watch out for the Texas delegates.

"A money-order Office has been established
at Greenwood, Abbeville County.
President Grants Annual Message must
be already engaging his attention. Will ne
congratulate Congress, as he did last year, on
the disappearance of party spirit throughout
the country?
There has been no Democratic Speaker of
the HoNse of Representatives since the Thirty
fifth Congress, which organized in December,
1857, by the election of Hon. James L. Orr, of
South Carolina.
= 1t seems that the whole Democratic State
ticket in Pennsylvania is elected BY an average
majority of nearly six thousand, and that par
ty will have at least twenty-three majority in
the Legislature on joint ballot
= At the recent election in East Tennessee,
the Democrats carried the counties composing
that section of the State by about two thousand
majority. After that, we feel hopeful of their
carrying Vermont at the Presidential election
in 1876.
- Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks writes: "I ac-
cept the important results of the election which
has Just closed in Massachusetts, as in other
parts of the country not only with satisfaction,
but with feeling of thanksgiving, in the full
est confidence that they will be used for the re-
union and pacifcation of estranged sections of
the Republic, the restoration of its prosperity,
and the protection of all classes and races in
the enjoyment of all their rights"

The Aims of the Democratic Party.

We are indebted to Gov. Parker, of New
Jersey, for copy of his able and powerful
speech upon national affairs, delivered at the
great ratification meeting in the city of New
York on the 9th of October, in which he re-
viewed the deplorable condition of the South,
and fixed the responsibility for that condition
upon the Republican party of the nation. In
concluding his remarks, the distinguished
speaker adverted to the aims and purposes of
the Democratic party, and what its members
proposed to accomplish when the government
in all its branches ouce more is placed under
their control and management. In view of the
rapid strides made by the Democrats in the
elections which have taken place since these
utterances were made, the position of Gov
Parker is the more remarkable and interest
ing:
The signs of the times indicate the success
of the Democracy, and that they will control
all branches of the government at no distant
day. Am l asked what they propose to do
when they get in power? My answer is, that
we propose to give selfgovernment to the peo-
pie; we propose to withdraw the army and lib
crate the white people of the South from bon.
dage which has we'll nigh ruined them. We
propose to lift up the South from the depths OF
poverty to Development of progress she has
never yet known. We propose to abide by the
constitutional amendments as part of the or.
ganic law in their letter and spirit. We pro-
pose to protect the coored man as well as the
white man in the enjoyment of freedom, and OF
all the rights he now has. But we do not pro-
pose to give to him more rights than to the
white man. We will administer tbs govern
ment not in partizan spirit, but with view
to advancing the best interests of the whole
country. The general and State governments
will be administered within their respective
constitutional spheres of action, and centraliza.
tion of power be at end. Colossal fortunes will
not pass away in a night under Democratic
government. Capital will come out of the
vaults and hiding places, and embark in enter
prises that will give employment to the mechan-
ic and laborer. A market as in former times
will be opened to the merchant and manufac-
turer. where the customers will be able to pay
for what they buy The value Of real estate
will again be advanced, so that the man of
moderate means need not fear the coming of
the Sheriff. The fires of our forges and fur.
naces will again burn brightly; the cheerful
hum of busy industry will again be heard
throughout the land; labor will find employ
ment, with good wages paid in stable currency,
and commerce will again dot the ocean with
her white winged messengers, and the American
flag as of yore float proudly in every harbor Of
the civilized world.

.The Greenyiile Daily News.

a The editor and proprietor of this popular
. End .sprightly journal has been urged to
move his newspaper 70 Columbia, where there
IS ssdemand for strong, consistent and reiia-
gbls representative Of the conservative element
: 10 ,our State. The Columbia Phonir, as our
readers know, committed political suicide on
ashe lat of November, and retired from the
aaarena-"u "unwept unhonored and unsung."
J, Hence, the proposition to remove the Green.
willie Neus to that locality, where bold and
fearless sentinel is so much needed. Our friend
spsights is considering the matter, and we
trust he will aecede to the wishes of the public
by entering upon this enlarged sphere of use-
sulness and honor, when it will become the
duty Of every conservative citizen to lend an
actiye hand towards securing permanent and
enduring success. We are sure that the citizens
aof Anderson will rally to his assistance, and
accord vigorous support in this laudable en-
terprise.

Gen. McGowan's Defeat.

The Abbeyille Medium inflicts an uninten-
tioaal injustice upon the white people of An
derson County by alleging that they were
derelict in their duty to Gen. MCGOWAN in the
recent election. His majority in this County
was one thousand and eighteen votes, more
than counterbalancing Hoge's majority in Alb
bevilIe County. The white majority in Ander-
son County at the recent election was only 667
votes, which shows that large number of
colored men cast their ballots for Gen. Nc
Gowan. Only small portion of the white
voters remained away from the polls, and it
was as nearly unanimous as we ever expect to
see in any election. In fact, the white vote
was the largest ever polled in Anderson County,
and it was cast almost entirely for Gen. Nc
Gowan. who was the favorite candidate of the
white people, as the returns fully demonstrate.
Now. we are confident that the gallant General
will readily and heartily acknowledge the
hanJsome style in which he was sustained and
supported by the white and colored citizens of
Anderson County, and that be does not enter
ter.ain the slightest misgivings as to the man
ner in which their duty was discharged. kad
the editor of the Medium ought to take off his
hat and make an apology to every white man
he meets with from Anderson County during
the next twelve months, for he has been entire
" too hasty in casting undeservcd aspersions
mon their character as freemen and good citi-
,eus. who worked earnestly and faithfully for
the right.

Tribute Of Respect.

The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted by Deep Creek Grange,
at the regular meeting November 7th, 1874:

The Civil Riuhts Bill.

President Grant has expressed his determi-
nation to veto the civil rights bill, if it should
pass the House of Representatives, where it
remains as unfinished business on the Speakers
table. 1t is conjectured that the Presidents
veto would make him the most popular man
in the South, and strengthen his chances for
reelection. Gen. Grant threw away his op-
portunity to become popular in the South by
his action towards Louisiana and South Caro-
lima. and it is now too late for him to regain
the chance by veto of this measure, under
the present circumstances.

The Atlanta and Richmond Air Line

The Atlanta and Richmond Air Line
Railroad seems to be under cloud. The
mortgage bondholders are moving to foreclose,
and the road has been seized and placed in the
hands of a receiver. Efforts are making to
compromise the matter, and in the meantime
the Charlotte IN. C.) Observer states that the
foreclosure of the mortgage will be fought to
the last ditch, and that the Pennsylvania Cen
trail will, if necessary contest the case as far
even as the Supreme Court ofthe United States.
The Spartanburg and Ashevile Railroad
seems to be really in process of construction.
A correspondent of the Neps and Courier says
the long avenues of cleared land through the
forest, ready for the pick and shovel-the sharp
stroke of the axemen still cearing-the graded
bed-the blasted rock-tbe "cuts and flls"-
show that the contractors are in earnest, and
that this road is rapidly becoming an entity.
- The local candidates on the regular repub-
lican ticket in Lexington county have entered
a protest with the county board of canvassers
against the counting of the votes from four OF
the election precincts, and the making OF any
statement of such votes, on account OF alleged
material irregularities on the part of the mana
gers of election for those precincts.
- The Washington Chronicle says: "The
grave of Horace Greely is without monument
or any special mark of care or recognition. 1t
seems that all the adulation and proposed hon
or to be paid to his memory has resulted in
nothing, and he sleeps beneath the sod In an
unmarked grave, neglected and forgotten"
Anew York dispatch says: "It is worthy
of note that the New York jobbing houses do
ing Southern trade are reporting freer pur-
chases of goods from that section, as if under
the conviction that the business interests Of that
section must necessarily be benefited by the
great change in Northern public opinion"
The Laurensville Herald mentions it as
significant fact that the only time the people
of Laurens County voted by registration the
Conservative ticket was elected by good ma
jority Without registration the Radical ticket
is always elected, although the whites have the
numerical strength in the county.
: The Greenyille Meaos states that DR.. Hext
NJ. Perry, son of Ex-Governor B. F. Perry, has
been appointed assistant surgeon of the first
troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry, which body
is now one hundred years old, and composed of
the best and wealthiest families Of Philadel-
phia.

J. Stuart Land, of the Greenville and Colum-
bia Railroad, was married On the 10th of Mo-
vember to Miss Miller, of Columbia. The
friends Lere wio send kindly greetings upon

A subscriber informs US that Miss Annie
Rampey, daughter of Mr.. D. G.. Rampoy, of
this County, picked two hundred and five
pounds Of cotton on Friday, 10th of October,
instead of coming to the circus which exhib-
tied here on that day. The cotton was ordina-
ry size.
r. A. Child, Esq, Of the Pickens Sentinel,
was in town last week, on professional busf-
ness. Mr.. Child informed us that the election
of Col. r. E. Bowen as Senator and D. r.
Bradley, Esq, as Representative from Pickens,
was likely to be contested, but with little pros-
pect Of success, as these gentlemen were duly
and legally elected.
The annual catalogue of the Williamson
Female College has been received. Under the

Osborne & McCully have lately put up an
other gin, and now turn out from fifteen to
eighteen bales Of cotton per day. By means Of
the splendid machinery, they can pack and
take out a bale almost as soon As 1t Is ginned.
They have extended their building, and arc
now prepared for large quantities Of cotton.
| They have also made improvements in their

Rev. John C. Williams died at Davidson
| College, n. c., on the 22nd of October, after q
long illness. Mr.. Williams was a native IF
Abbeville District, and was resident of South
Carolina until few years ago, when he moved
to Mecklenburg County, N. c., to take charge
Of Hopewe1 (Presbyterian) Church, where he
labored faithfully and zealously until he was
stricken down by paralysis last year. He was
once resident of Anderson County, and had
many warn friends in this community, who
will lament his early demise.
Among the list of premiums awarded at the
State Fair, held in Columbia last week, we
notice TINT Messrs. Goldsmith & Kind received
| the prize medal for Portable Steam Engines for
agricultural purposes. This firm construct
their engines to answer every purpose desired
by the planter. The Engine exhibited at tho
State Fair is ten-horse power, and is sold
at an exceedingly low rate, as this firm make
it point to combine economy and usefulness
in their manufactures, besides having an eye
to the beauty and good appearance Of their
work. Their enterprise merits the patronage
of our planters and farmers, who will find it
to their interest to apply to this firm for their
wants. Messrs Watson & Son are their agents,
and will be pleased to give prompt attention to
! all inquiries.

Fraudulent Voting.

The Conservatives were defeated in Marlboro
County by majority of nearly six hundred
votes, and q correspondent of the News and
Courier says this deplorable result has been
brought about by the most glaring frauds. At
least four hundred votes were polled for the
Chamberlain ticket than there are negro voters
in the County, which was accomplished by
importations from North Carolina, negroes
under age and repeating by the wholesale
The Edgefeld Aduertiser says there is not
the slightest doubt in the world that hundreds
of negroes in that County voted twice-many
of them three or four times-in the late elec-
ton. They roamed in bands from one precinct
to another with this express design.
In Laurens County, at one of the precincts,
the polls were opened an hour before the time
appointed by law. The managers refused to
allow the box to be inspected, and 400 votes
were polled in one hour and half: Only 43
votes we're given at that box during the rest OF
the day.
The Georgetown Planet, a Republican news
paper, says that intimidation, fraud and re-
psating were practiced TO an alarming extent
by the Regulars at the several polls"
From Barnwell, Newberry, Aiken and other
Counties, we have similar accounts of fraudu-
lent voting by the Chamberlain Radicals
Every fair-minded and honest man will per,
ceive the necessity for registration laws, in
obedience to the requirements of the Constitu'
ton, to prevent recurrence of these shameful
abuses of the elective franchise
