OUR GRANGE COLUMN.
Under the Supervision of the Executive
Committee of Pomona Grange.

1t is always a source of pleasure to
good men to know that others are faith
fully performing their duty; and SO, in
these days of sad delinquency, it will be
pleasing to all good Grangers to read the
following record, which indicates life in
the Oranges and lively sense of duties
and solemn obligations performed.
The following Oranges are "clear on
the books" to June 80, 1877, viz: Nos.
14l, It's, 1T, PIP, PA, 215, 242, 251, 264,
271, 272, 273, 295, S39, $40, 1854.
These figures show that over half the
Sub Oranges in the County have paid up
past dues and entitled themselves to oc-
cupy a respectable position on the Secre-
tary's books. If any matter of vital
Importance in Grange economy were to
suddenly spring upon the country, these
living Oranges would have the right to
demand voice and vote in the deter
mination of such question.
Then the query naturally arises, What
position will the delinquent Oranges
hold? Next week we shall be COM
PEELED, however unpleasant, to publish
in this column all delinquent Oranges;
and we respectfully beg our delinquent
brethren to consider how much of the
sympathy of the brethren, or the world,
they can expect when it is known that
they have hazarded, and really forfeited,
their good reputation for the sake of so

Treasurer.
When Cardozo commenced his fraudu-
lent work, turning over the proceeds to
his fellows of the Bond Ring, some of
them sold out Immediately. They put
the first of them on the Charleston mar
ket, and employed a newspaper to puff
them in appeals to patriotism, mingled
cessful, and several Charleston capitalists
endorsed the consolidation scheme by
subscribing for the bonds issued. They
expected that the bonds would soon rise
from 60 to 95 cents, but they have never
done so, and the history of many OF these
bonds indicates that they belong to the
class of fraudulently stuffed bonds. The
Bond Ring has quietly sold to these cap
italists these fraudulent bonds and pock-
eted the proceeds. These Charleston
holders are, therefore, strong advocates
of the Hampton policy of validating
the consolidation bonds as class, with
out questioning the composition or ante
cedents of any of them. Some of these
capitalists have mortgage on one of the
Charleston newspapers, and others are
stockholders in the other paper, so that
in making public sentiment, Hampton,
the capitalists, and the newspapers all
concur in Charleston.
In the up country, where there are few,
if any, bonds held, the anti-bond feeling
prevails. They attack the Charleston
bondholders. They allege that they have,
by their completely with the Bond Ring,
and the corrupt Government of the Re-
publicans, assisted to rivet the chains for
years upon South Carolina; that they
have made the yoke of the carpet.bagger
more burdensome by the special privi-
leges they have purchased by bribery
from the Legislature, and that they alone
have made money out of the wreck OF
private fortunes. At present the outlook
is against the bonds. The popular senti-
ment evidently is opposed to the Charles
ton capitalists upon more grounds than
one, and wherein they may be right, they
may have to suffer on account of other
errors.

small sum of quarterly dues per mem
Der. Surely, the delinquency cannot
arise in any case from inability on the
part of members to pay. Aud perhaps
the'default is not so much attributable TO
the Grange as to ineficiency or careless
ness of the officers. Every Grange
should be careful to select the best and
most efficient men and women for their
officers. 1t is the duty of every officer,
and not less so of every individual men,
Der, of Grange to see that every duty
enjoined on Grange shall be faithfully
performed in due time; and it is especi-
ally required of the Secretary of each
Change to make up his quarterly report
for inspection in open session. But
should the Grange fail to meet at the
appointed time, it is still his duty to his
Grange and the Order generally to collect
the dues, make up his report and pay
over the quarterly dues in proper time.
Brethren, bring up your reports on or
before next Monday, and spare your
brethren the modification of reading
that delinquent list"

1t seems almost impossible for the gov
erument to reduce the hostile Indian
tribes to a state of peace. The non treaty
Nez Perces are still on the war-path, and
at last accounts have captured the stage
station "Hob in the Rock" in Idaho.
They have cut the telegraph wires and
stopped all passage along the stage line.
A fight with the troops and settlers is ex-
pected soon.. The government ought to
reinforce the army in the Indian settle
ments, and terminate these constant out
breaks, even if harsh measures are neces-
sary to induce the Indian tribes to leave
off their hostility and barbarity.

force it upon other townships and coun-
ties. Why, then, build these border
fences to be so soon removed as the
boundaries shift and extend? They are
net a legitimate feature of the stock law,
do not harmonic with it, and should not
be fastened upon it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, my object in pre-
senting these views is to subject them to
the crucible of general discussion and
public opinion. And if there be merit
in them let our members of the Legsla-
ture use their influence to modify the law
in the particular referred to. 1t is not too
late. Those communities that have
adopted the act will be favored by it,
those that have rejected it will not be
injured, because they have acquired no
rights to be interfered with or disturbed.
The law will have to be amended in
other particulars, and conspicuously in
clearly defining the remedy for trespass,
and in making it as complete, speedy
and inexpensive as possible. In modify
ing it let all practicable improvements be
introduced. And I repeat there is no
necessity or propriety, in my judgment,
in erecting these line fences. If the
stock law is right, and we must now as
sumo it is as right as the old law, it is as
much the duty of those living outside
the boundary line to fence in their stock
as it is for those inside the boundary to
fence In their territory. Neither need
be required, but let mutual respect for
the laws by which they are surrounded,
and mutual conformity to their require
ments govern each class in regulating
their own affairs. But if such fence
must be erected, let those whose stock
are to be fenced out bear an equal part
of the burthen Of building it with those
whose lands are to be fenced in.

OUR CIRCULATION,

The Anderson iSrElt1GENcER has the
largest circulation of any country paper
published in the State, and has more than
three times the circulation of any other
paper in Anderson County. We print
and circulate regularly 1776 papers.
Our list in the County has increased in
stead of diminished, and we hope to re-
ceive still greater increase during the
coming fall. We are willing at any time
to verify the above by an Inspection of
our subscription book, or our paper bills
or when desired, we will furnish adver-
tisers with an affidavit of the correctness
of our statement as to the circulation of
the INTELLrGENCER.

The quarrels of the Republican family
are not as irreconcilable as the indepen-
dent Democrats would have the country
believe. There is no reason for Demo
Gratis to support the President on account
of apparent differences between him and
prominent Republicans. These difficult
ties can be harmonized in very short
time, and the old organization will be as
strong as ever. For instance, Blaine has
attacked the President, and yet when
Mr.. Hayes is travelling in Maine, Mr..
Blaine invites him to spend some time
at his house as his guest. Does this look
like serious hostility?

The Liberian immigration fever is on
the increase with the colored people of
the State. 1t has engulpbed Charleston,
swept over Columbia, and is vaguely
talked in the mountains of our State.
There has been no departure SO far, and
we very much fear there will be none
soon. By this we do not mean that we
favor the immigration of the colored
people generally, for they are naturally
friendly to our people, and could live
with us amicably if they were let alone
by designing white men and ignorant
colored leaders. If we COULD select the
crowd to export We would heartily sub
scribe, and try to induce others to sub
scribe to such a worthy object. But as
to the prospects Of a wholesale emigra-
tion of colored men, We neither think it
desirable nor probable.

exposed, but we would like to have the
name of "another Senator" who made

to tell them they have been robbed with
out also telling them who committed the
robbery. Let us have the names.

How Gas Was First Used

treat was the Amusement OF all England
when at the close OF the last century Will
liam Murdoch discovered the use OF COM
bustible air or gas. SO little was the in
yention understood and believed in by
those who had not seen it in use that even
great and wise men laughed at the idea
"iiow could there be light without q
wick :" said member of Parliament when
the subject was brought before the House
Even Sir Humphrey Davy ridiculed the
idea of lighting towns by gas, and asked
one of the proprietors if they meant to
take the dome of st. Paul's tor a gas-meter.
Sir Walter Scott, too, made himself merry
over the idea of Illuminating London by
smoke, though he was glad enough, mot
so long after, to make his own house at
Abbottsford light and cheerful on wintry
nights by the use OF that very smoke.
When the House of Commons was lighted
by gas, the architect imagined that the
gas ran on fire through the pipes, and he,
therefore, insisted on their being placed
several inches from the wall for fear of
the building taking fire; and members
might he observed carefully touching the
pipes with their gloved hands and won
iering why they did not feel warm. The
first shop lighted in London by the new
method was Mr.. Akermann's. in the Strand
in 1910, and one lady of rank was so de-
lighted with the brilliancy OF the gas
lamp on the counter that she asked to be
allowed to take it to her home in her car
riage. Mr.. Murdoch was, however, too
busy with other pursuits to continue the
study of gas, and though he was undoubt-
eddy the first to apply it to practical pur-
poses, many others laid claim to the honor
and other people quickly reaped the ben
eft OF his cleverness and ingenuity. In
this he shared the general fate of the in
ventOr. u

The Virginia City (Nevala) Enterprise
OF the 18th instant has the following a,-
count OF 4 horrible accident which occur
red At the Consolidated Imperial mine on
the afternoon OF the previous day Among
the miners coming TO the surface at the
time Of changing shafts was Hugh McDon-
nell, a native of Nova Scotia. and aged
about thirty-eight years There were four
other men on the cage with him at the
time When the cage had reached within
one hundred feet of the surface Mcdonnell
tainted, and before his condition was known
to those with him, fell from the cage. The
man was caught as he fell between the
cage and the timbers OF the shaft, and hor-
rible torn and mLtilated, and before the
cage could be stopped was rolled off and
precipitated twelve hundred and fifty feet
down the shaft. What little semblance of
humanity was left in his liteless form by
the cage was crushed out by the fall AS
soon rs possible the cage was lowered and
the fragments Of his remains gathered up
i'll blanket and taken to the surface. His
head, legs and arms were all torn off, and
there was scarcely enough OF his body left
to tell how the pieces belonged. But there
is one consolation in connection with the
whole matter, and that is, that he was
senseless when first caught between the
timbers and the cage, ard consequently
suffered nothing from either that OF his
fall. Is it not unusual for persons who
have been in the hot air of a mine to faint
on being brought near the surface when
the first breath Of cool, fresh air meets the
lungs. The reason for this we do not pre-
tend to understand but the fact is well
known to all. Many run the risk of Just
such death as happened to Mr.. Mellon
nell by being ashamed to let their cond-
ton be known to their comrades on the
cage. They, in fact. risk their lives Tor fear
of being laughed at. The only salvation
lies in informing those on the cage of the
feeling and being by them sustained till
the surface is reached or the cage is stop
ped"
