THE AHDEReoU anAuD JuaY

This body made its presentment OH We'd.
nesday morning, setting forth that peace
and order reign throughout the County :;
that the arm Of the law has never been set
at defiance, and that both political parties
hold their meetings without molestation.
They report the various County Offices to
be in good condition, end recommend the
consolidation Of the Offices of School Com
missioner and County Auditor, and the re-
duction of the Treasurer's salary. The re-
port concludes by presenting Gov. d. IL.
Chamberlain for using his high office to ira
duoe the good name OF Anderson County in
his proclamation declaring chat disorder and
not exist throughout the State, and the arm
or the law is powerless to enforce the de-
crees Of the courts. They declare that 80
far as this County Is concerned, the procla-
nation is without foundation in fact, and O
libel upon our people and concludes by
asking that copy of the pTesentment be
forwarded to Governor Chamberlain that he
may correct the wrong he has done us, or
stand before the world wilfnl and cor
fessed slanderer of the people he is sworn to
rule in justice.
When the presentnent was read, Judge
Reed took the paper and remarked thnt as
the latter part was in different handwriting
from the first, he supposed il had been pro-
cured by some very bitter person, and that
he regretted its presentation. He said that
the Governor was entitled to some consider
tion and respect, and that it was improper
for the courts and juries to go outside of
their regular duties to assail him, whether
he was right or wrong. (The Judge few
days previous in charging them told them to
present any official guilty of any miscon-
duct, and the Grand Jury took him at his
word) He said he would not order the pre-
sentiment to be served on the Governor, but
supposed the papers would do it. (He is
mighty right" We will publish it next
week. He said he was following the prac-
tice Of the old judges, and wsnted to keep
the courts clear OF politics. He ordered the
presentment to be fled The foreman arose
| and said that the jury wished to do right,
and he would submit the question of stri-
king out the Objectionable clause. The
Judge told MIN he could do aa he pleased.
| and then said these charges against high
oAiccio hte pAu PoiiCy <1e Stateu tiht the
whole United States army was ordered down
here-he did not know what for. He told
the jury thnt he saw members Of the bal
| shaking their heads, but he wanted them to
act upon their own judgment. The fore
man put the vote, and not single man rose
| from his seat to vote to withdraw the pre-
sentiment. There were eleven white men
and six cO1ored u,e1 Ou tho inrv Tho MA
sentiment could not have been made by the
eleven white men alone, and when the vote
was taken in court the jury wns unanimous
The members of this jury acted nobly in
defending their presentment, despite the
the judges opposition, and his statements
about troops. They were intelligent and
honest men, who said Just what they meant
and knew to be true, without regar1 70 ;ne
| judges remarks.

CONNECTION.

A letter written by Senator Cochran to
some coiored men IN the Broadway tewn-
ship has been misrepresented by some one,
and the statement made that it contained
inoend'ary advice. We have seen the letter
In question, and do him the justice to say
that there 10 no such advice given in It,
with the exception of advising the colored
people to vote the Republican ticket, thore
is nothing in the letter to which any one
should object. We mako this statement not
to defend Mr. Cochran, bu. simply to do
him justice in this particular matter.

The great Barbecue announced to take
place In Anderson on the Srd day Of No
vember, has been abolished. There will ba
no meeting at the Court House on that day
oy the Democracy. and no other day has
been liked for one. There will be no barbe-
cue st Town. and the Clubs In the County
need not trouble any moro to arrange for it.
Turn attention to the consolidated meetings.

THE PRHlgABY gIFCTsoH.

The election on last Thursday was tri-
umphant vindication Of the plan Of nomi-
mating candidates by o direct vote of the
people. Twenty-seven hundred and ninety
nine votes were cast, and every candidate
nominated except the County Commission
ers and Coroner received majority OF oil
the votes cast. The election Is accepted as
perfectly satisfactory tc all the people of the
County. and the candidates who were not
nominated are now free and jealous In their
suppor! of the nominees. There Is not the
slightest whisper of independent candidates,
and there Is no possibility of defeating g
single one of the County nominees. The
election, SO far as County matters nre con.
ceTned, is over, and the whole state Is only
waiting for tho 7th day of November to do
Tor South Carolina what has, virtually been
done in Anderson County--that Is, elect the
Democratic ticket.
We give below tho aggregate vote which
ceah of the candidates for nomination re-
eeived. These receiving the highest num-
her of votes are the nominees of the party /;

This is;G tair sampleIof R9rublican truth
and faith. The County Chairman squarely
backed down from his positive promise to
agree to joint discussions in the County, and
evasively says he is willing to agree to joint
discussions in. our County ,niatters,f AS the
Republicans have no County cinSdss this is
equivalent TO no joint dseussion at ELL But
there'is.a question 5f eefacity between the
County Chairman and Mr.. Carpenter. +, One
says the speakers and Executive Committee
objects to joint discussion. The other says
it is tie Executive Committee alone. The
truth is, we believe all of them fear to face
the truth in joint discussions a.oi i.
