BRTEF MENTION.

We are requested to state that there will be
preaching in the Presbyterian Church next
Sabbath, the 1st day of November.
We were shown on Tuesday last, some fine
ears of corn, grown by Mr.. Frank Mcconnell
on his bottoms in the Dark Corner. The ears
measured about IS inches in length and about
in circumference, and were we'll filled.
At the exhibition of babies during the recent
Fair in Atlanta, the first premium, fine gold

Eclinse of the Moon.

On Saturday night, between the evening of
the Oath and the morning of the 25th of Octo-
ber, there was total eclipse of the moon, but
it occurred at such an unreasonable hour that
we presume few persons in this vicinity were
sufficiently wide awake to witness the uncom-
mon event, which occurs only once in eighteen
years. At two o'clock when the greatest OBJ
scuration of the moon took place. heavy clouds
overspread the entire heavens and prevented
e view of her celestial majesty, besides darken-
ing the earth with the deepest sombreness and
gloom for the time being. 1t was the darkest
night we remember anything about unless We
except night march through dense forests
between Shepherdstown and Martinsburg, Va,
in the fail of 1868, when Gen. Lee was retreat
ing from Maryland.

A Befliqerent Candidate.

E. W. M. Mackey, an independent candidate
for Congress in the Charleston District, seems
disposed to give his enemies some trouble in
the campaign. At Manning, he recently de-
aouncea his opponent, G. w. Euttz, with con-
siderable severity for swindling conduct, when
Butts retorted that Mackey was liar, with an
oath accompanying his declaration. There
upon, Mackey dealt him several blows in the
face, and, as Buttz retreated, applied his foot
vigorously to the fugitive. A few days after
wards, scurrilous letter appeared in the
Charleston Chronicle, which induced Mr..
Mackey to ask the proprietor, J. W. Delano,
for the name of the author. Mr.. Delano re-
piled that the writer of the letter was woman'
and refused to apologize in his paper for its
publication, which so incensed Mackey that he
slapped Delano's face and thrashed him severe
ly with walking cane.

Blue Riduo Railroad.

Under decree of the United States Court.
the Blue Ridge Railroad was sold in Charleston
on Thursday last, embracing the entire proper
ty of this corporation in South Carolina, Geor-
gia and North Carolina. 1t was purchased for
$500 by Ex-Gov. Scott, who represented the
bondholders in this and other States The
cash portion of the purchase money amount
ing to SIT 900, was paid Immediately after the
sale was made Of course, the price given by
Gov. Scott was merely nominal, when we con-
slider the actual value of the property and the
money expended already in its construction,
amounting to nearly a half million of dollars
We are not advised in regard to the intentions
of the bondholders, but trust that measures
will be taken to forward its early completion,
now that every difficulty is removed. AS a
connecting link with the great West, the hopes
and expectations of our people have centred in
the Blue Ridge Railroad for the last twenty
years, and we shall watch with interest the
final disposition of this magnificent property.

of the Grand Jury of An
derSon County.
OCROBER TERM, 1874.

To the Hon. T. FL. Cooke, presiding Judge Of
the Eighth Circuit Of South Carolina:
The Grand Jury beg leave respectfulyto sub
nit to the Honorable Court that they have dis
charged the duties devolving upon them to the
best of their ability, and find, upon examina-
ton of the various public Offices and institu-
tions that they are generally we'll kept and in
good condition.
The Jail has been examined, and found to be
in good order and we'll kept. The building,
however, needs some repairs upon the North
west corner, which they recommend that the
County Commissioners have made at as early
day as practicable.
The Grand Jury by committee of their
number, visited the Poor House, and found t
in good order, and the inmates we'll cared for
and we'll pleased with their Steward.
They further beg leave to report that the
Public Roads throughout the County have been
well worked, and are in good condition, except
some of the roads in Hall Township, which
they recommend that the County Commission
ers have put in good order Immediately. They
also recommend that they have the road lead
ing m from Liberty Hill to the Generals Road,
one mile South of Anderson, properly worked.
The Grand Jury further recommend that
J. j. Gilmer, Trial Justice, be required to re-
turn to the Clerk of the Court the recogni-
zance of Marcus J. Norris and j. T. Nor.
ris, entered into before ]. L. Bryan, Trial
Justice, on the twenty-third day of October,
A. ID. 1873, which, as they are informed, are
now in his possession.
They further take this means of giving an
expression of their gratitude to his Honor
Judge Cooke, for the kind and courteous man
ner in which he has treated them during the
year, and the able and satisfactory manner in
which he has discharged his duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
SAMUEL BROWNE, Foreman.

This, he said, looked very much like reform
when the old robber- band were to be brought
back into the chief places, where they might
once more fill their Golfers, and satisfy the crav-
ings of their ambition. He then proved that
Mr.. Chamberlain ordered the Secretary Of
State to carry the seal of the State to New
York to stamp the Conversion bonds, and said
that if he was on the advisory board and shared
the profits he vas equally guilty, and unfit to
be the representative of reform. He.then ap-
peaed to the Judgment of the colored people,
whether they would not rather vote for an hon
est, true Republican than for known corrup-
zionist.
Hon. J. S. Murray next arose, and asked the
colored people would they vote against Mr.
Chamberlain and for Judge Green if he proved
to them in short argument that Chamberlain
and his party had already violated the princi
pies of their platform. (Cries no, no.) He
then said that they had done so in bringing
forward Judge Hoge for Congress, which would
cost the State $4,000 to elect him, since an
other Comptroller would have to be elected.
The meeting then adjourned.

Good Prospect for a Fair Election.

The present Chief Magistrate of South Car
olina, Franklin J. Moses, jr., surprised the pol
iticians the other day by bold and indepen-
dent stand for fair election on Tuesday next
He issued proclamation removing majority
of the Commissioners Of Election, and ap-
pointed in their stead representation of good
and true men from the different parties, which
will insure a just return of the actual result,
as determined by the will Of the people. Four
years ago, there were innumerable frauds per-
petrated by the Commissioners of Election in
many localities, and Gov. Scott's majority was
determined by these boards, not by the votes.
Two years ago there was not an equal chance
for the preparation of fraud, as the managers
had TO count the votes publicly, Immediately
after the polls were closed. Such is the law
to-day, and with the power in the hands of the
voters to compel fair and honest count, with
the assurance that the Commissioners of Elec-
tion will not allow any tampering with the re-
turns afterwards, we can safely assume that the
result as announced will truly indicate the
wishes of the voters. For the part Gov. Moses
has taken in producing this result, the fullest
credit is due from every fairminded citizen
who desires to uphold the purity of the ballot
box-the great palladium Of the peoples rights
and liberties His proclamation on the subject
will be found in this issue.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Fair is destined to be a grand success,
owing to the great increase Of entries. Up to
Wednesday morning the entries made in the
several departments, far exceed those of former
years. The greatest collection of articles is in
the different household and field crop depart
ments, and in that of the fine arts, there is a

preparations, and everything has been done to
make this the greatest of all the Fairs which
have taken place in Anderson. The Fair be-
gan on yesterday morning, and will continue
until Friday afternoon, at which time the pre-
miums will be awarded. Many are here from
distance. We will give an extended account

RESOLUTIONS.

Owing to some dissatisfaction respecting the
nomination made in Dark Corner some time
ago, portion of the Republicans were in favor
of making nominations. Col. Cochran, in or
der to do away with this offered the following
resolutions to the meeting on Saturday last
Rcsolred, That the people Of this County,
without regard to party, have resolved that VIC
will not nominate any candidate for Office but
that we will be governed by honesty and fitness
for office.
Rcsolred, That this meeting re-affirm this
resolution, and repudiatc any attempt to depart
from this great principle.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.

JUDGE Cooke on the Hastings.

It was once q rare occurrence tor oouln
Carolina Judge to descend from the bench, ana
engage in the discussion of political questions
before the people. But times are sadly changed
in many respects, and the decent custom OF Ju-
dicial officers refraining from active particlpa-
tion on the hustings seems almost totally ig-
nored.
On Saturday last, at the Chamberlain meeting,
Judge Thompson H. Cooke sought to enlighten
the natives in their political duties, and deliv-
cred most remarkable harangue on the occa-
sion, which we cannot allow to pass unchal-
lenged. After making his speech, he left on
the afternoon train, without giving any one an
opportunity of replying in his presence. he
announced this as his programme in the morn
ing, before the meeting assembled, saying that
he was going to speak and run. He was doubt
less aware that he who speaks and runs away
may live to speak another day, and not forget
ting that he who's in the forum slain may be
thought unworthy to speak again.
It was the most vulnerable speech we have
heard in the campaign, made up of reckless
assertions and bombastic assumptions, utterly
discreditable to his judicial position and thor
oughly partisan in every respect. His attemp-
ted defence of Mr.. Chamberlain was weak, lame
and impotent, particularly in regard to the
conversion bonds, when he made great flour
ish of proving from the statute books that the
conversion act was unexceptionable, ignoring
the fact that no one has ever complained of the
law ITSELF but that it was the fraudulent execu-
ton of the law by the Finance Board, of which
Mr.. Chamberlain was member, which gave
rise to the many animadversions against his
candidate on this subject. On other points, in
numerous instances, he was equally unfair and
illogical.
But the grossest conduct on thepart of Judge
Cooke was his unjusti6able attack upon Maj
Delaney, the colored candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, whose name seemed to excite his
wrath and indignation to an unlimited extent.
He declared that there were between fifty and
sixty prosecutions against NJ. R. Delaney in the
city of Charleston. Now, we do not believe
one word of this statement, and challenge
Judge Cooke to make good the allegation, or
admit that his declaration was erroneous and
unfounded, made only for political effect. He
likewise charged that Delaney had robbed a
colored church of 5000, which is equally untrue,
as Delaney has published card denying the
charge made against him. The debt is admit
ted, and is not paid because of inability on his
part It is the first time we ever knew man
charged with theft on this ground alone, and
Judge Cooke ought to know that the accusation
does not merit credence. The idea of Repub-
lican Judge robbing an honest colored man OF
his fair reputation! We will not pursue the
subject, only regretting that the occasion has
been offered to censure so strongly the public
utterances of any man, much less the presiding
officer of our Circuit Court.

Democratic Rule i'm GeOruia.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having an occasion a few
weeks since to visit Hart County, Ga, we found
that the coored people there are being taught
by competent teachers.
There is colored school in operation at
Bowersvlle, taught by aOhite lady. We also
passed through the neighborhood of Shoal
Creek and saw a colorod school in operation
taught by white lady of the very first respcc-
liability of that County.
Now, sir we state these facts to show that
Georgia, through her Democratic rule, is not
dealing out prescription to the coored race, as
some of the Chamberlain lights are wont to
make US believe. w. II.

By Chamberlain and Gleaves are part and
parcel of the corrupt machinery by which the
State has been governed for the last six years,
and their election foretells the continuance of
high taxation and reckless expenditure of the
public funds. Are you willing to assist, by re-
manning away from the polls Or declining to
vote for their opponents, in fastening the
chains upon our PROSTATE State? Every man
should answer this question, squarely and con-

ss~ Judge Hoge is the present Comptroller
General of South Carolina. If he is elected
TO Congress, it will cost the State upwards of
$50, 600 to hold special election for his sue
cessor. He refuses to resign in time to save
this expense, and every voter favoring econo-
nv and low taxation should set the seal of
condemnation upon the selfish aspirations OF
this chronic office-holder.
