Primary Elections.

To the Democratic Clubs Of anderson County:
The question is raised as to the best plan
of nominating our candidates for the Coun-
ty Offices in the coming fall elections. AS
we understand, one of two plans are to be
adopted-convention or primary elections.
To determine this question we are only to
consider which one is the most acceptable to
our people. We think primary elections the
best plan, for the following reasons:
1st. Because each Democrat represents his
own view by his vote.
End. Because the present mode is one from
the people, and the candidates should be
selected by them and not left to delegates in
convention.
3rd. Because this plan expresses the views
of the majority by actual vote, and no OBJ
lection can be raised against it.
Many other reasons equally strong might
be urged for this plan. The objection is
raised, however, that in this plan there will
be want of concert of action, but we think
not. We have four members to elect to the
Legislature, Sheriff, Clerk Of Court, Probate
Judge, &c. Let the Democrats nominate
their candidates, not for the Office, but for
primary election. There may be dozen
persons brought before the Clubs for nomi-
nation for tlle same Office; they may all be
good men and all have friends; the Clubs
will simply pass on their merits and the
ones who get the largest vote will be declared
the nominees of the party; the rest all
withdraw from the field, and go for the
regular nominees.
If the nominations are made by conven-
ton, some persons who might be defeated
would likely conclude that while the con-
vention did this, the people would have
decided for them. In primary elections
there can be no dissatisfaction; by conven-
ton there might be. Many of our people
are opposed to convention; none can be
opposed to primary elections. BY conyen-
ton you do your business by delegates; by
primary elections you do ityourself. What
ever view may be taken on this subject by
the Clubs it is important that they should
discuss the matter and pass upon it an early
day G.

WHO ARE REspoNsIBLR?-The bill to
re-district the State 80 as to leave white
majority in one of the FIVE Congressional
Districts, was lost OH Tuesday night for
want of fve votes. These points are
worthy of note:
l. The blame for the failure rests upon
the shoulders of the Conservative men,
bers who were absent from the post OF
duty. Only twenty out of thirty-three
were present.
2. There WAS a golden opportunity.
For the first time since the war it was
possible to secure Democratic Congress
man, and this was lost through the indif-
ferance or carelessness of men into whose
hands the white citizens of the State had
committed their interests; and this after
fair and oft-repeated warning and appeal,
that every Conservative should be at his
post during the last hours of the session.
8. Negro Republicans in the Centen-
nial South Carolina Legislature fought
for two long weary hours, at and after
midnight, to repair the wrong that had
been done in "gerrymandering" the
whites out of all representation in Con-

WILL CONGRESS. SUBMIT :

The action of the South Carolina Leg
islature, in wilfully disrcgarding the law
of Congress respecting the arrangement
of Congressional Districts, opens afresh
the question regardingthe representation
of this State in the popular branch of
Congress. Under the former act, which
the new arrangement is intended to rec
tify, the plain meaning of the United
States law was fagrantly violated, in
that the counties composing the Third
District were not made contiguous. But
the law not only requires contiguous
territory, as we have heretofore shown,
but it likewise demands that the Legisla-
ture, in constructing Congressional Dis
tricts, shall SO arrange them SIS to pro-
vide as nearly as possible for an equal
number of Inhabitants in each District.
While the act passed last week conforms
to the law in respect to contiguity, the
other provision of the law in regard to
population is most shamefully and arbi
trarily set aside. This action was taken,
too, in the face of an official warning
from Washington that Congress would
require an exact compliance with the
law, or else the result would be deter
mined by the House of Representatives,
plainly intimating that representation
from South Carolina would not be al
lowed under such circumstances. The
ans-7er to this hint from Congress is con-
tanned in the Encouragement made last
week, by which it will be seen great
disparity exists in the population of the
several Districts. Here are the facts and
figures:
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-03-30

to Mackey for services rendered him in
releasing Parker last year, and thereby
relieving the Republican party in this
State of grave trouble. The practice of
Governors using their influence to pre-
vent Investigations is dangerous, and
must be condemned by all proper think
ing citizens.
The second thing that strikes us as
strange about this matter is, that the
Conservatives should by their votes on
the first two occasions have defeated in
vestigation and in the last vote have
stood solidly in favor of it. That they
made grave mistake in becoming the
champions of Judge Mackey at first, can
not be doubted. They were presenting
to the world strange spectacle in vouch-
ing for the innocence of this arbitrary
and cratic Judge. Unless they were
willing to become sponsors for his good
behavior they should never have voted
to keep him, without an investigation,
over the Sixth Judicial Circuit. The
policy of excusing guilty officials for fear
of gettir; worse ones is fallacious and
injurious, and the idea of refusing to in
vestigate a Judges conduct when specific
charges are made is something rarely met
with. By this procedure the Conserva-
tives are placed in the unenviable posi-
ton before the country of voting down
the very measure which they afterwards
desired to effect. This should teach
them lesson in future, not to temporise
with Republican office-holders on account
of any specious pleas of expediency.
Wherever there is any suspicion of guilt
it should be investigated, and if devel-
oped the criminal should be punished.
A firm, uncompromising armed neutrali'
ty on the part of the Conservatives in the
Legislature is what ne want. They
should give no favor to Republicans e1-
cept in so far as they act correctly, and
whenever there is any charge of corrup-
ton or crime they should be foremost in
unearthing it, instead of voting with
those who desire to prevent investigation.
We hope when the Legislature re-assem-
bles this question will be again raised,
and that an investigation will be ordered.
It is due to the people of the Sixth Cir
cult, and to the people Of the State, who
are SO often made to suffer by the med
dlesome interference with justice in
which Judge Mackey so often indulges.
The Conservatives were right in voting
solidly for investigation at the last, and
we hope they will make further efforts to
secure the appointment of committee
to look after this "impulsiye and erratic"
Judge, as Governor Chamberlain apollo
getically terms him.

THE MACKEY INVESTIGATION.

The charges of the Lancaster delega-
tion against Judge Mackey, of the Sixth
Circuit, came up again on Thursday
night upon motion for reconsideration.
The resolution to investigate the conduct
of Mackey was indefinitely postponed by
a strict party vote of 43 to 81. The Con-
servatives were at last united, but only
when it was too late, and the Radicals
voted squarely against the investigation
under any circumstances. The opportu-
nifty was lost when the Conservative
members permitted themselves to be in
huenced by the advice of Gov. Chamber
lain, and the sequel proves that it will
never do for them to be too closely iden-
titled with the views of the Governor,
whose political schemes and fortunes are
so closely allied to such corrupt men as
Judge Mackey. The delegation from
Lancaster went away from Columbia sew
eral days before this vote was reached,
fully satisfied that no investigation would
be made, and considerably disgruntled at
the result of their visit.
THE GERRYMANDERING PROCESS.
1t will be remembered that the Senate
bill to re-arrange the Congressional Dis
tricts, introduced by Senator Cochran,
was adopted by the Senate as a measure
of justice and fairness likely to secure a
representation of the minority in Con-
gress. The House of Representatives
waited an opportunity to reverse this
action of the Senate, and complete the
process of gerrymandering. On Tues
day night, the matter came up in the
House, and the struggle over the bill
lasted until after midnight, when the
Radicals passed this Infamous measure
in its most Objectionable shape by vote
of Al to 81. The facts show that por-
tion of the Conservative members are
greatly to blame for its passage at that
time. Only twenty Conservatives were
present, showing that seventeen Repub-
licans were voting against the measure.
While it is true that proportionate
share of the Republicans were absent,
this does not relieve those Conservatives
who were consulting their own ease and
comfort, instead of guarding the interests
of their constituents. The Senate con-
CURED in the action of the House, and
thus went back pom its own fair prom
ises. In this connection, we would state
that Messrs. Orr and Vandiver were pres
ent when the vote was taken upon the
Congressional bill, and that Mr.. Simpson
was quite sick at the time, which preven-
ted his attendance. Mr.. Cochran voted
against the measure in the Senate.

What changes have taken place in that
period2 In none have they been more rad
ical than in the treatment of diseases. In
the olden time, nature, prostrate with pain
and suffering, was attacked with the lancet,
calomel, blisters, starvation and thirst. All
this was done with honest intentions but
with terrible results. 1t is pleasing fact
that the enlightened public of the present
day have discarded such medication. The
disorders that sap the powers of life are now
expelled by remedial agents, that brace up
the vital strength, while running its cause.
The qualities are found in an eminent de-
gree in DE-. TUFTS VEGETABLE LIyER PILLS.

manity, and it is not the result of newspa-

JUDGE MACKEY AGAIN.

This, pestiferous wearer OF the Judicial
ermine in South Carolina has been the
cause of much discussion in the Legisla-
ture recently, and has been fortunate
enough to succeed in thwarting three at
tsmpss to investigate his judicial conduct.
There were grave charges against Judge
Mackey, involving the commission of
serious crimes and misdemeanors, which
it was the duty of the Legislature to
have investigated. The illegal interfer-
ence in Judge Carpenters Circuit for the
purpose of releasing Niles G. Parker,
after he had been convicted of stealing a
large sum of money from the State while
Le was Treasurer; his similar proceeding
BY which he released W. a. Jones, Sem
ator from Georgetown, who was charged
with leading fearful riot in that place
last summer year ago, and binding him
ever to appear at Court in that County
next June, instead of last November or
February; his interference TO release on
hz5cas corpus Adam Crews, who was
charged with murder, without even re-
curing security for his appearance at
Court his setting aside the verdict of
jury at Winnsboro, and releasing the
prisoner, and ordering a ao1e prosequi to
be entered; his Aagrant and outrageous
conduct in dismissing Grand Jury at
Lancaster, after abusing them for not
finding to suit his judgment or prejudice
On a certain indictment, and his exami-
nation in open Court of the witnesses
who had been before this Grand Jury,
s,ll unite to show that his conduct is
tyrannous, and arbitrary, and that his
course affects most materially the safety
of individual rights and of public JUS
tice. If any Judge ever deserved an in
vestigation he most certainly does, and
il these charges are sustained, he is tit
subject for impeachment.
There are two strange things about
this business. The first is, that as soon
as the charges were made Governor
Chamberlain rushed into the public
prints for the purpose of declaring his
Eelief in the innocence of Judge Mackey,
and using his influence to shield him
from investigation. This conduct of the
chief magistrate Of South Carolina is rep
rehensible in the extreme, and is with
out precedent, except the letter written
by the Governor to shield Treasurer
Cardozo over year ago. If Mackey is
so innocent as the Governor pretends, in
yestigation would not hurt him; if he is
guilty the Governor was very wrong in
endeavoring to shield him from punish
ment. We do not find the Governor so
anxious to shield Judge Reed from in
yestigation, and yet he knew him to be
innocent as well as he did Judge Mackey.
Investigation has not injured Judge
Reed, and it would not damage Judge
Mackey unless he is guilty. There can
be no doubt that the Governors action
was induced by desire to retain upon
,e bench the man who has proved
Imself such an efficient ally and
willing tool in the past. 1t was a return
