A Good Siqn.

When the Hampton Legion of South
Carolina listens with applause to speech
by one of it's own former generals, gen.
erously just toward the North, honestly
patriotic in spirit, and particularly sensi-
ble in it's treatment of the industrial
question at the South, it is certainly an
other of the many good signs we have
recently seen from that section. General
r. NJ. Logan made the speech we refer
to, and we give in this mornings paper
some interesting extracts from it. 1t
ought to help any intelligent person to
understand the Southern peOple.-Ncw
York Times.
1t is indeed a good sign when such an
intensely bitter partisan organ as the
Times finds anything to commend in the
South. If tho Times would cease distort-
ing the actions of our people and misrep-
resenting their true sentiments, it would
find many moro ''good signs" The
South is to-day as loyal as any portion
of the Union. Give us bearable govern
ment, and there will never be any other
than good signs to be seen in the conduct
of our people. The Times is only obtuse
that it is just beginning to be able to dis
Germ these 'good signs" We wonder
how long it will be in finding out the
bad signs occasioned by carpet-bag mis-
rule and corruption. 1t has taken one
step in the right direction; we hope after
the fall elections it will be Obliged to take
the other.

REV. JOHN T. McBRYDE.

We ore always gratiied to learn that
young men from Anderson are succeeding
in other communities, where circumstances
call them away from home, and their efforts
are made in the right direction. Such is
our feeling upon receiving the information
that Rev. John T. McBryde, native of An
derson, has been called to the charge of the
Presbyterian Church in Albany, Ga. He is
a thorough gentlemen, an earnest and de-
voted minister, and well worthy the conf
dcnce and esteem Of an intelligent and cul-
tivated community. Mr.. McBryde deliver
cd the annual sermon at the recent COM
mcncemcnt of the Masonic Female College,
located at Amcricus, and his sermon was
regarded as an able and timely effort, receiv-
ing the closest attention from large and
appreciativc audience We send fraternal
gIceting to our young friend, and wish for
him prolonged career of usefulness in his
ministerial work.

Gov. CHAMBERLAIN.-Thea annexed para
graph is extracted from the Augusta Consti-
t,tionalist, one of the staunchest newspapers
in the South, and it's warm commentator
of tho position we have assumed towards
Gov. Chamberlain and his administration is
highly appreciated. We thank our valued
contemporary for its manly recognition of
our, services, and feel confident that the
future will sustain our view of the situation
in South Carolina:
We have never taken much, if any, stock
in Gov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina.
1t is needless to repeat the reasons govern
ing us in this matter, but recent events have
made them much more formidable. 4 car
pet-bagger who helped to heap infamy on
South Carolina may, when satiated with his
effort and comfortably fixed, offered to play
at reform, but all such experiments might
as well be taken with several bushels of salt,
instead of the grain prescribed for ordinary
mortals. The Anderson IntcHigcncer one of
the ablest most honest and influential of
the country press of the South, always had
misgivings Of the genuinencss of Mr.. Cham
berlan's conversion, and boldly proclaimed
that fact. Against this intrepid conduct, a
large majority of South Carolina journals
protested; but the circunistantial evidence
now is that the people of the Palmetto State
have no purer, better and more intelligent
champion than the Lntelligcncer.

The Last of the Ex-Presidents.

The sudden death of Andrew Johnson
has created profound regret throughout
the country. ALI classes and parties
unite in sincere expressions of sorrow at
his unexpected demise. Ex-President
Johnson has filled a large space in the
American mind during the past thirty
years. He rose from obscurity, unaided
by education, and from the force of ma
tural gifts. His struggle was long and
hard, but strong hold upon the at1ec-
tons of the people enabled him to gain
many triumphs, and eventually to oc-
cupy the highest positions. His bold
ness and independence always won him
friends and admirers. He was impru-
dent at times, and made numerous mis-
takes in his public life, yet he was al
ways honest and fearless. We cannot
admire much of his career, nor eXtol his
judgment on many important questions,
and yet we do not condemn with severity
those positions with which wo differ.
His sacrifices for principle were too great
not to compel charity from his bitterest
opponents. AS firm and intlexible
friend of the Union, he suffered much
for opinions sake; as friend of the
Southern people, when partisan rancor
and hate were rampant, he was steadfast
and unyielding, and braved the unjust
accusations of malignant partisans, who
endeavored to unseat him from the high
est position in tho land. Ho went un-
scathed through the fiery ordeal Of inn
parchment, and lived to witness virtual
endorsement of his faith and policy by
the American people. His return to
public life last winter was regarded with
favor on all sides, and it was expected
that Andrew Johnson would exercise
great influence in shaping events for the
near future. His death upsets these cal
culations, and a wide vacuum is created
in American politics.

From the Greenwood Met1 Era.

A correspondents Of the st. Louis
Republican, who has been examining the
field in Ohio, comes to this conclusion
"Both sides pretend to be confident Of
victory. But it is easy to see that all the
real earnest self-confdence is on the side
of the Democracy There are too many
mechanics out of employment in Ohio,
too many iron millswith snsokeless CHM
neys, too many coal mines with deserted
shafts, and too many men loafng about
X-roads with nothing to do and no pros
pect Of anything, to augur well for the
success Of the party under whose regime
all these troubles have come about
Platforms 60 for very little when men
are hungry and the rent of the cottage
is unpaid. All the indications now are
that the vote will be light all round, and
that the Republican voters will be
enough more apathetic and listless than
the Democratic to give the latter the
State by small majority"

The Southern Historical Society hi

The Southern Historical Society has
lately received an important contribution
consisting of "Copies of Confederate Re-
ports made by Heads of Departments" E"
in response to circular Of Gen. Breckin-
ridge, secretary of war, issued the early
part of February, 1865, on the resources
at their command for conducting the war.
The contributor was R. G. II. Kean,
late chief clerk in the Confederate war
department, who states that the docu-
ments were placed in his confidential care
and brought home on his sperson after the
surrender of Gen. Johnston, together
with letters, written at the same time,
from Gems. Lee and Johnston on the
condition of their armies and their abili-
ty to prosecute the war.
Congressman L. @. G. Lamar, of
Mississippi, has, we are glad to say, been
nominated for reelection by his con-
stituents, on platform opposing the
organization of parties on the color line,
and invoking the cooperation of good
citizens of every color and nativity to Sc
cure honest and capable government.
Throughout his public life, as the people
know, Mr.. Lamar acts up to his own
memorable words, spoken by the bier of
Sumner, "My countrymen! Know one
another, and ye will love one another" :"
Rev. Ellison Capers, of Greenville,
S. c., has been elected to the rectorship
of Christ Church, Macon, made vacant
by the resignation of Rev. Benjamin
johnson. The congregation believe that
Mr.. Capers is one who can realize all
their expectations in regard to rector.
He is less than forty years of age, gen.
tleman of fine talent and high scholarly
attainments, and an orator.
While many portions of the South
are suffering from drouth, large areas of
the West are damaged by excessive rains
and consequent inundations. Never was
crop prospect of such singular promise
so swiftly blighted.
Judge Maher has decided that the
distribution of the school fund is entire
ly.under the control and management of
the school trustees and school commits
sioner, and that the county commissioners
have nothing whatever to do with it.
A shock of an earthquake was felt
in Milledgeville, Ga, on the evening of

sembling the explosion of siege gun,
and making everybody rush out OF doors.

lred cars, were supplied with more than
