ANOTHER lesson taught by the State
election is derived from the wisdom
of the Presidents civil service order
about which the machine politicians
and their intelligentQ) followers have
so much to say. This is the first hon.
orable campaign the Republicans of
Wisconsin have waged for years. No
vulgar and indecent profanity, no bull
DOING, no boSs-lSm, have disgraced
it; engineered by a thorough gentle
man, it has been carried on in a gen.
tlemanly way, and Republicans have
nothing to be ashamed of. The result
is that Wisconsin has been taken out
of the list of doubtful states, into
which the "machine" had placed it.
and that it is once more enrolled with
such Republican states as Minnesota
and Iowa. Let us be devoutly thank

GEORGE ii. PENDLEToN hopes to sue

claiming for him forty votes on the
first ballot-only eight short of an
election. Mr.. Pendleton was the
Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-

THE coIoaED PEOPLES RIGHTS.

Some evil minded person has circulated
the report among the colored people that
the Democrats have begun to take away
their rights, and that the recall of the State
arms is the first step in the programme.
For the intelligent it would be unnecessary
to notice such falsehoods, but as many of
the colored people are not informed about
public matters, we take this occasion to
assure them that their rights are perfectly
safe in the hands of the Democratic party,
and that there is not only no disposition on
the part of Democrats to take away their
rights, but that they will be protected as
fully and completely as the white citizens of
our State. The taking up of the State arms
has no political nor race significance what
ever. The colored company at this place
had not recognized and rendered their
services to the Governor, and of course they
could not keep the State arms, for they are
no part of the militia. If they had re- organ
lied and offered their services to the Gov
ernor, no doubt they would have been ac-
cepted, just as colored companies have been
in Charleston and other portions of the
State. 1t is the companys own fault that
they have lost their guns, and it is no indi-
cation of desire 10 injure the colored peo-
ple- They may depend upon it, that the
Democratic party will fulfill every promise
made to them last year.

BASE BALL AT PENELETON.

On last Friday match game of base ball
was played at Pendleton between the An
derson and Pendleton clubs, under chal-
lenge sent by the Anderson Club. Before
entering the game it was agreed that the
clubs should play three match games, and
championship be awarded to whichever
club should win two or more of such match
games. Mr.. ]. L. Tribble of Anderson, was
umpire, and Mr.. T. S. Crayton scorer, for
the game at Pendleton, and the uttermost
interest was manifested in the first game by
large crowd of ladies and gentlemen, who
assembled to witness it. The patriotism of
the Pendletonians induced them to give
their undivided sympathy to their Club,
and our boys went into the game like an
army fighting an enemy in his own coun-
try, having nothing but their own resolution
to strengthen them. The two clubs are
very nearly matched now, as the Pendleton
Club has gentlemen in it from Charleston,
Savannah, Columbia, Charlottesville, and
even a citizen of Great Britain. The last
named is q resident of the village, and the
Others are spending the summer there, as a
number of them are annually accustomed
to do. Being thus equally matched, the
game was close and intensely exciting; but
Anderson proved too much for her neigh
Dor, and as the shades of night fell, victory
perched upon the standard of Anderson,
and the game closed with the following as
the result of the score

PASS HIM AROUND.

A young white man of Irish descent re-
Gently came to this place, and entered the
business of marble cutter with Mr.. Thomas
M. White, giving as his name Doyle, and
protesting to come from Laurens County,
where he said he had wife and children.
He professed to have been Roman Catho-
lie, but was converted to Professionalism, and
Joined one of the churches of our town.
Money was subscribed and paid to enable
him 10 bring his family to this place, and
from that time forward he had nothing to
say about his wife; and recently it has been
discovered that he was associating with ne
groes, and urging them to insurrectionary
measures. Mr.. White discharged him, and
he has since been making his habitation
with the negroes. One day last week he
endeavored to get colored minister to
marry him to colored woman of bad
character. The minister very properly re-
fused to perform the ceremony, and we
have been unable to learn how he disposed
of the matter, but his conduct became so
offensive that number of the citizens of
the place on Wednesday morning went to
the house at which he had been staying to
serve him with notice to leave. He was;
however, gone, and it is hoped he will not
return 10 this place. He is either deranged
or is very bad man, and we havegiven this
sketch OF his proceedings here to put any
community into which he may 60 upon its

DEATH OF REV. ]. L. KENNEDY.

The announcement of the death Of the
Rev. J. l.. Kennedy, which occurred at bis
residence in Williamson on Sunday, the
10th inst, after brief illness, has been re-
ceived with deep regret throughout this
County and the entire State. Mr.. Kennedy,
though an unassuming gentleman, was a
fine scholar, and has left reputation as
teacher excelled by none and equal. / by
few. The impress of his mind has been left
upon more young pupils than that of any
man in Anderson County, if not more than
any man in South Carolina. For many
years he was the principal of Shutdown
Academy, which was a most prosperous
and useful institution, and the success in
life of the pupils who went out to College
and to business from it are the highest testi-
monials to the worth and attainments Of
the faithful teacher, who is now no more
forever. Besides his scholastic duties, Mr..
Kennedy was q faithful and useful divine of
prominence in the Presbyterian Church,
and along with the duties of the school
room he performed the more solemn Office
of pastor, and even after health and strength
failed him in the school-room, he continued
his services in the ministry, and at the time
of his death, although about sixty-six years
of age, he was pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Williamson. Mr.. Kennedy was
an agreeable, courteous and intelligent gen.
tleman, who impressed all who knew him
most favorably, and those who knew him
best loved him most. Although he has
gone from earth, he still lives in the memo
ry of an extensive circle of friends and &C.

sERENADING THE COUNCIL.

A number Of the citizens of Anderson,
with the Cornet Band, serenaded the new
Council on last Saturday night. Going first
to the residence of Maj. w. w. Humphreys,
the new Intendant, they called for him,
whereupon he appeared and made most
appropriate and commendable speech,
thanking the crowd for their compliment,
and urging unity of purpose and of action
among all Democrats who wish good gov
ernment in our State. He concluded by
inviting them in to take some refreshments
with him, and after spending pleasant
time they proceeded to extend the same
compliment to the new wardens of the
town. Messrs. Jeptha f. Wilson, John G.
Whitfield, w. S. Ligon and e. F. Murrah
were in turn serenaded, and upon being
called for responded by expressing their
thanks for the compliment. At Judge
Reeds, after calling upon Mr.. Ligon, the
serenaders called for the Judge, who re
sponded in short speech, expressing his
thanks for consideration shown him, and
recounting the many public services he has
rendered to the people of Anderson. The
evening was pleasant one, and oil in the
party were more than repaid for their pres
ence.

cAurATA-rHE FLOWER QUEEN.

We are informed that novel and charm
ing entertainment is in course of prepara-
ton, under the auspices of the ladies of the
Episcopal Church of this place, which will
be presented to the public about the 9Th
pro1. It is 'The Coronation of the Rose"
or "Flower Queen" romantic poem set to
exquisite music, and abounding in beauti-
full and picturesque scenic effects. The ar
gument seems thus: "The flowers meet in
secluded dell in the forest to choose their
queen. A person discontented with the
world seeks, in the same place, retirement
from its cares and disappointments. The
flowers tell of love and duty, and the re-
cluse learning that to fill well the station
allotted by Providence is to be happy, re-
solves to return again to usefulness and
contentment among his fellow-creatures.
Tickets to the above can be procured at
the two drug stores, and also at the door of
the Masonic Hall on the night of entertain
ment, at which place it will be given.

THE NEW COUNCIL.

The newly elected Town Council qualified
on last Saturday, and is composed as fol-
lows: Intendant, w. w. Humphreys ;
Wardens, Jeptha F. Wilson, John c. Whit
field, E. F. Murrah and w. S. Ligon. The
Council elected the following officers on
last Monday: Clerk and Treasurer, T.
Charles Ligon; Chief Marshal, Joseph R.
FAINT, with salary of $4,000; Assistant
Marshal, L. G. Brady, with a salary OF
$4,000. Thus the marshaps salary has
been reduced one hundred dollars, and the
position of overseer of the street hands has
been abolished. The question of bar room
licenses has been left undisturbed, which
makes the retail license $4,000 per year.
The new Council begin with the most rigo-
rous economy, and will no doubt continue
to practice it to the end of their term.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.

The outgoing Town Council, which was
composed of Messrs. VIM. McGukin, Inten-
dant, N. K. Sullivan. w. F. Barr, John
McGrath and John R. Cochran, found the
town indebted about $1,75O. By prudent
and judicious management they have not
only met the expenses of the town govern
ment during the past year, but have actual
ly improved the condition of our streets
and reduced the floating Indebtedness to
something less than one thousand dollars.
This management entities them to the con-
siderstion of our people, and shows them
to be faithful public servants, and good
fnanciers. This Council was composed Of
a majority of DEMOCRATS, and hence was
Democratic administration, and affords a
very striking proof of the advantages of a
Democratic government, even in our town
affairs. The people have cause to congratu-
late themselves upon the continuation of
Democratic administration of our town
affairs, and we have no doubt the new
Council will continue the work of retrench-
ment and reform so successfully Inaugural
