EDITORIAL NOTES.

Captain Lloyd has been sent to Able
vile with company of United States
troops. They are spoken Of as gentle
men, and the people of Abbeville do not
regret their presence. Their presence
will not do anything to damage the cause
of Democracy in that County. The
bloody shirt programme has simply
played out, and the sooner the Republi-
cans recognize the fact the better it will
be for them. United States troops are as
much of protection to one side as they
are to another.
The Union Herald is unable to manu-
facture sufficient campaign falsehoods,
therefore it has gone to copying the 6cti-
tious correspondence of other papers,
which it knows contain the most SANDER
Gus fabrications put out in the interest OF
Morton's bloody shirt canvass.
The States of Indiana, Ohio, West
Virginia and Colorado vote on next
Tuesday for State officers. The Demo
Gratis will get the lions share of these
States, and after that no reasonable per-
son will bet on Hayes and Wheeler.
The bloody shirt and Carl Schurz
speeches were like oil and water, they
would not mix, and hence added to the
Democratic canvass in both Ohio and In
diana.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-10-05

Democrats have received five times the
violence from Republicans that Republi.
cans have from Democrats, and Governor
Chamberlain has made no effort to stop
these troubles beyond asking for troops,
and when troops are sent here they are
not stationed at the points of trouble.
When the writer. says he feared the in
Perception of his letter lie proved his
lying, for the postmaster at Walhalla and
the route agents along the-mail route are
Republicans. The statements about the
United States flag are equally false.
There neYer was so. many national. flags
in this State before, and it has never Gre
ated the enthusiasm in South Carolina
which it does to-day since the times Of
notification. These flags adorn every
campaign stump, and are carried by
nearly every club in the State. There is
better feeling in South Carolina towards
the Union than has existed in many
years. We would really like to renew
our national fraternity, and nothing, moi
even the bloody shirt speakers of the Re.
publican party, can induce South Caro-
lima to pursue the course falsely attribu'
ted to her.

A CARD.

Having been suggested for nomination
by the Democracy of Anderson County
for the position of a representative in the
next General Assembly, I desire to return
my sincere thanks to the kind friends who
made the suggestion in the card published
last week, as we'll as to those who have
indicated an endorsement of the sugges-
ton since its publication. From defer
ence to their wishes, I regret that circum-
stances impel me to the opinion that [
should decline to become candidate at
this time. The race is too far spent to
make it advisable to introduce new can
didates; and my principal reason for
declining to run is, that I do not think
the best interests of the Democracy would
be advanced by my candidacy. Besides
this, personal considerations render it to
my advantage not to become a member
of the Legislature, if I could be elected,
for it would call me from my profession
at a busy season of the year, and also
render it necessary for me to employ
some one to take my place in the edito-
rial work. OF course, however, I would
cheerfully forego any personal interest if
the people of my County needed my
services in any position, but am satis-
fed that men can be selected from the
candidates already announced who will
serve the County as efficiently as I could
do, if not more so. I do not believe it is
possible for a man to render more eff
cient service in any sphere than he can
do by editorial work, and my friends
may rest assured that no man takes a
more lively interest in the success of the
State and County Democracy than do.
I have given the greater part of my time
and attention to assist in its achievement
since the first agitation of the question,
and must congratulate the people upon
the fattering prospects before them. 1
desire to complete this battle as a private
and not as an officer, and hence have
made these plain statements in the hope
that may convince my friends that al
though I appreciate their compliment,
yet it is best that should not enter the
canvass as candidate.
Very respectfully,
F.. B. MURRAY.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. NANCY BRASWELL was born in
Anderson County, S. c., about sc years ago,
according to one account, and 95 years ago
by another, and died on the 18th day of
September 1876, after long and painful
illness. She lived, died and was buried on
the place where she was born. She was the
mother of II children, 16 of whom she rails
ed, and who became heads of families. On
ly one of the children was privileged to be
present at her burial. Her brother, Silas
Massey, died few days ago at the advanced
age of 100 years. She lived quiet, useful
life, 80 years of which were spent in widow
hood. She early connected herself with
the Baptist Church, held an uninterrupted
membership therein, and fell sweetly asleep
in Jesus. Peace to her memory.

NORTHERN MEN IN FHE SOUTH.

The Union Herald, Gov. Chamberlain's
mendacious organ of the bloody shirt
stripe, speaks of the generous contribu-
tions from the North to the yellow fever
sufferers, and then says: "In the South
we read of, see and feel the Northern
man ostracised and threatened to be BAN
ished and starved, if not murdered, for
his political opinions. And this is free
America" If by the Northern man the
Union Herald means the industrious, in
telligent, honest settler in our midst from
the North, the article is UNANIMOUSLY false
and slanderous of our people. There are
Northern gentlemen in this County, who
have settled amongst us since the war,
and who have been Republicans, that are
respected and treated with sufficient re-
cognition and kindness to induce them to
make this their home when they were
able to have settled elsewhere. They
have come here as citizens of integrity,
and have sustained their reputation by
their conduct. Hence, they are treated
as friends. If, however, the Union
Herald means by the term Northern men
the political bummers who have come
down South to engender discord between
the races, then its statements ought to be
made true if they are not already so.
But they are not treated so because they
are Northern men, it is because they are
political thieves and disreputable villains,
who had no recognition among respecta-
BILE men at the North. If "a set of thieves
were to 60 to Massachusetts, they would
not receive social or business recognition,
but would be accommodated to peni-
tentiary CELL We have the evidence of
a verdict from jury that ex-treasurer
Parker was a thief; the statement of the
candidate of the Republican party for
Attorney General that Gov. Chamber
lain has been guilty of felony; the afi-
davits of men from Pennsylvania to vari-
Gus swindling acts upon the part of Sen
ator Patterson; the verdict of Congress
against the respectability of Whittemore
by his expulsion for selling cadetship;
the conviction of G. G. Bowen for bigamy,
and long list of such charges against
numerous others of these adventures.
No respectable man could countenance
men of this stamp, and it is useless for
the paper owned by Gov. Chamberlain
to endeavor to work up a prejudice
against our people. We have been ruled
by these rascals until both white and
colored citizens feel that our business
and our respectability demand that they
be turned out to make room for honest
men.
