Our Agents in Charleston. The advertising agency of Messrs. "WALKER, EVANS & COGSWELL, represented by ROSWELL T.LOGAN, Esq.,is the only authorized agency for this paper in Charleston. The Abbeville and Anderson Markets. Bat for its length, and our limited epace this week, we would publish in our columns an editorial of the An derson InU'liyencer in reply to ours on the above subject. "We arc pleased to ceo that our friend at least has not lost his tornDcr We can assure him too that our equanimity has not been in the least disturbed, and that even if such had been the case, wo could scarcely have avoided following the example of good temper and good taste which our friond has so lully manifested in his reply. If a want of temper be evidence of tho weakness -ftP nno'o Mncn lip nf, lojlSt is UOt Ob VI VUV D VH UUVJ MV noxious to such a charge. But our friend expresses surprise that the article of the Medium awak ened no response from us until it appeared in the columns of the Intel ligenccr, and seems to intimate that we might have some covert reason for selecting the latter paper rather than the former as an antagonist in the controversy*. The explanation is so simple aud intelligible that we need ^ it. fTKot SOli go very iar lu uiju it. j. u*?vm emanated from an unknown writer, and appeared in a corner of the paper, without note or comment from the editors, and hence, perhaps would not have elicited a remark from us, If the In\el(tgencer had not republished it, and by its endorsement given it a cur rency and importance which did not at first belong to it. As the produc tion of a nameless correspondent, wo were disposed to ignore it; but, as the expressed, ana careinuy weigneu -opinion of an enlightened and influen tial journal, it derau .ded an answor, if answor could be made. This statement in itself would soem to be a sufficient reply to the answer of.the Intelligence to our charge that editorial and communication did equal injustice to the merchants of Abbe viljo. The Intelligencer contends that its editorial made no charge, direct or jndircct, against the addcviuo mer chants. But the communication charged that it was "a shame and scandal" tbat Abbeville farmers had to soil their produce arid buy their groceries in Anderson, and the In'e/li gencer would seem to justify the charge by. claiming for Anderson that it is "the best cotton market ^in the up country, and furnisho^fevery desirable articlo at the lowest prices." Admit that the charge is not made directly, is it not implied in re-publishing such an article with such comments? If a town forty miles further from the seaboard, and with no greater natural or artificial resources can pay one half cent more for cotton, and sell goods cheaper than the other, is not the latter justly amenable to the charge of a want of enterprise and business tact? The Intelligencer would justify the oharge by vouching for the facts upon which it is based. no tr\ fka nrnnf nf fliA J-?U U JLi C A1/} CkO iV l/uv WV4 w? vat V facts themselves ? the high price of cotton and the cheapness of goods in the Anderson market?the Intelligen cer relies very much on the fact that Anderson does attract the Abbeville farmer, and thinks it vory irrational to explain this on the ground of a jack of information on his part, or upon* any other supposition than that ho promotes his interests by selling and baying in the Anderson market. Intelligent farmers in the upper part of our District have suggested to us other reasons than the superiority of the Anderson market that it has suc ceeded in attracting a number of ? ?! - ? C 4 1 4. ADDOVliie iariuur? iruui iuui> oi-vuuu. Ia the first place, many of the Ander son firms have business connections ' with Abbeville, and* have made no 6mali effort to secure its trade, by giving employment to the elite of its young men. Again, Anderson is equally near the Abbeville line, and i more accessible than Abbeville, be cause the roads are batter. The deep mtid of sorao of the Abbeville roads would be sufficient io turn the scale BgttlUSb Uttr, nruuio vvuvi uunmuui ti tions are equally oalanced. Admitting that Anderson nominally pays more for cotton than Abbeville, we gave the experience of a single farmor, in explanation, without vouch ing for Us general application. The Jritelligcncer regards that experience as vgry inconclusive, unless the accuracy of the Abbeville and Anderson scales had been compared and tested. We merely cited the fact for what it was worth, and suggested how an increase ofrjprjce might bo more than counter balanced by a loss of weight We 1 certainly did not intend to impugn 1 the integrity ' or skill of the sworn , welgherr^Mr.'Fant. A defect in the scales would furnish a. simple expla- ' nation To remove all ground of1 complaint in Abbeville, it has been J deemed proper to discard the common 1 platform scales, and procure the im- | proved Hew York beam scales. Per haps Anderson would do well to follow her'Example. In what we said in f this connection as not creditable to * the Addcrson buyer, we cheerfully \ mrfke the amende?our remark was s unguarded, and founded on a misap prehension. 1 AS t<5 the comparative cheapness of J gdtfds in the two markets, we would advert to the facts set forth in oar article, and we have the authority of ( 1h? Intelligencer itself for holding that 1 "facta are stabborti thing&." Th 1 bill which we bold establishes the ] fact that on the 19th September, 12JI > poands of bacon weje sold to an ( Abbeville farmer at 16} cents per pound, when Abbeville was selling bacon at cents. Tho Intelligencer suggests that it was likely country bacon, which brings a better price; but a friend tells us that this is too early in the season for country bacon. Again he suggests that the extra charge may have arisen from its being on an account of a yoa?" or two's standing. The bill itself precludes any such supposition. The Intelligen cer states that it has examined a num ber of accounts, where the price charged was 15 cents per pound at the date mentioned. But this is high er than the Abbeville rates. In conclusion, jye.. would briefly say that if Anderson pays more for cotton luan aodcvme, me naiurai presump tion is, that as Abbeville often pays more than foreign prices warrant, the Anderson buj'er is at least compensa ted in an increased price of goods. And this, we learn, is substantiated by the admission of an Anderson merchant himself. juiaoiuty 01 insurance uouipaiura. There is a question of tbeoxtont of the liability of Insurance companies in case of loss, which is of vital in terest to all persons insuring, and as to which there seems to be a good deal of misconception. The question is simply, in case of partial loss of property, where there has been partial insurance, does, the In surance Company make good the loss to the amount of insurance, or< Uovb lb XllUl'UI^ BUJll V tuu 1VIOO nnu uic party insured? In other words, where a party owning a stock of goods to the amount of $5,000, takes out a policy of ?1,000, and sustains a loss of ?1,000 by fire, can ho recover from the Insurance Company more I than one-fifth of the loss or ?200 : as I 7 he had only one-fifth of his stock in? surcd. This is tho rnlo which, we learn, has been applied by a number of the Insurance Companies, in ad justing tho losses which have been sustained-by the Abbeville raerchaants in the late tire. We suppose it is a rule which is generally applied, but as to which there is a misconception on the part of the insured, and which works very great hardship to them. In the case supposed, a party takes out a policy for 81.000, and pays for a guarantee to that oxtent, and in case of a loss to that extent, why should wo not bo indemnified ? No says the Insurance company, you must lose to the extent of the whole stock?the 85,00O?before we pay the $1,000;? in no case are we liable for more than our proportion of the loss. Can any thing be more inequitable. This matter was discussed In the public press a few years since, and the public put upon their guard against that clause in modern policies, which subjects insurers to that pro portion of loss only which their pol icies bear to the whole property. Upon inquiry from Wm. EL- Parker, Esq., Agent of tho London, Livepool & Globe, we learn than his company p.iys to thd1- full amount of loss, if it is covered by insurance, and not mere ly a proportional part. Other com panies may do us well, but of this we are not advisod. It is certainly a matter of viial interest to insurers, and should be looked into. Dwelling House Burnt.?'Wc regret to learn that the handsome dwelling of our esteemed fellow citizen, Rev. H. T. Sloan, at Cedar Springs was totally consumed by fire on last Friday night. The fire broke out at about 10 o'clock at night, and originated in a rear building attached to the dwelling, and used as a kitchen'. The fire progressed so rapidly that it was impossible to save anything but two beds and a few articles. Mr. Sloan lost nearly all of his clothes and furniture. Mrs. Sloan was absent at the time on a visit ro ner momer in North Carolina who was sick. In addition to the dwelling, one of the out-houses was also destroyed, and the whole, loss is estimated at ?4,000 to $5,000. The house had only been recently fitted up, and was one of the most handsome and tasteful in that section ot country. v I The tire we believe was accidental, j There was no insurance upon the building. Tiie Hew Legislature. ? The Senate now stands 56 Republicans to 8 Democrats; and tho House 103 lie publicans to 21 L> mocrats. As the Phceuix remarks : "Taking tho bodies as ihey *t:tn<l, old and now, wo have in tho Houso twenty-one Democrats and in the Senate eight. This consti Lutes a pretty rcspcctable minority in numbers, capable, as such, by harmo nious action, by deploying or concen trating, as circumstances may require, Df doing much good for the State ; md, still more, by their forCo of cbar icter, by energy and watchfulness, ind by unswerving fidelity to the E>rinciplo6 and policy which they have indertaken to represent. The well, j seing of the State is, in part, commit- < ,ed to their keeping; its honor, to 1 lome extent, is confided to their hands, < Thev are bound, as good men, and 1 ;rue representatives, to take all neces- \ lary care of the one and to maintain j"j ind vindicate the other upon all \ >roper occasions. b ^ 1 The United States Court met in t Columbia on Monday. Judge Bond has e xot arrived but is expected. A large s lumber of prisoners, arrested under the Snforeement Act, went on the Green ville and Columbia. Railroad, on fcjatur- j lay Iast, tp attvnd this Court, j HYMENEAL. The Junior had the plcasuro of visiting Greenville on Wednesday Wednesday last; the occasion of this visit being the marriage of Mr. Robert G. "Williams, of Newber ry District, to Miss Lidie S., daughter of Col. Robert McKay, of Greenville. The bride is one of the most beautiful and accom plished young ladies of the city. Recently she graduated at the Bal timore Female College with dis tinction for her intellectual and scholarly attainments, while her musical talents were not equalled by those of any one in the College. The marriage ceremony was per formed by Rev. Dr. Williams in the Baptist Church. At eight o'clock the church was tilled to its utmost capacity and in a little while the in teresting ceremony was performed in the presence of about one thou sand persons?being the largest number ever present on a similar occasion in Greenville. After the marriage the bridal party and a number of invited guests retired to the Colonel's resi dence on Buncombe Street, where the bride and groom received the congratulations and ?00d wishes of ? O O their relatives and friends, and all spent the remainder of the evening most pleasantly. The beauty and intelligence ot Greenville were here in numbers, while the neighboring towns and cities were represented? Abbeville was represented by Misses F. C. M. and J. M. There were twelve bridesmaids and as-many groomsmen. We ap pend the list of their names, which is as follows: Mr. Samuel Orr, Anderson, and Miss Florence Roberts, Greenville; Mr. Frank Teague, Newberry, and Miss Emma McKay, Greenville; Mr. Mac Simpson, Cross Hill, and Miss Mamie Davis, Greenville; Mr. Wash Wil liams, Laurens, and Miss Mary Orr. Anderson ; Rev. W. H. Whitsill, Tcnn. and Miss Janie Moore, Cokesbury: Mr. JohnieB. Marshall,Greenville, ana Miss Bettie Hammet, Greenville; Mr. Mac Moscley, Cokesbury, and Miss Belle McKay, Columbia; Mr. Edwin Dayon, Darlington and Miss Lidie Long, Greenville; Ben I Boone, Esq., Colum bia, Miss Nellie Cbaplins, Greenville; Mr. George Bomar, Charleston, and Miss Dora Berry, Greenville; Mr. Walter Duffy, Greenville, and Miss Mamie Swandale, Greenville;Mr. C. N. Donald son, Greenville, and Miss Sarah N. Lewis, Greenville. e+nmno o-p tlm.lnflina Tf/irp especially rich and tasteful, and had we a peu to do justice to the sub ject, and fcere it. not invidious to particularize, we might descant at length, upon the bright and elegant attire which added new charms to the fair. Greenville is noted for the taste and elegance of its cos tumcs, and Greenville here seems to have excelled itself. Our friend Mr. J. II. M. was present on this occasion and added do little to the enjoyment of the evening. The number of bridal presents were unusually large, and exhibited the good taste of the donors in al most every variety of silver and china, and many articles of orna ment. This heincr the onlv "weddiner # ? %J entertainment" that the Colonel and Mrs. McKay ever expect to give, and Miss Lidie being the only child, they spared no pains or ex pense to make this, one of the most elegant affairs of the season. The supper was of the very best, and the taste displayed in its va rious arrangements reflected credit upon those who prepared it. During our stay in Greenville we stopped, as we always do, at the Mansion House, which is kept by Mr. Southern. Here we received all the attention and accommoda tion that could be wished for. We we were assigned to a desirable room, which was nicely carpeted and well furnished. Mr. S. is one of the most obliging hotel keepers in our acquaintance, and the Man sion House is one of the best of hotels. Give it a call when you're in Greenville. THS CULVER BROTHERS, Stove Manufacturers of Covington, Kentucky, are now in Abbeville, with a large lot of fine teams and wagons, and are prepared to furnish our people with the improved siyle of stoves of which they are the inventors. The. merit of these stoves is proved by the fact that some fifty thousand of them have been sold in the States of Kentucky, Tennes see. Alabama and Georgia. The stoves are eokl to fanners and country mer chants at the same price that they would have 10 pay in the city. These gentle: men come well recommended, and we take pleasure in comme.-dliig them to the patronage of our people. Tiie Injunction Case.?Judge M 1 ton on Saturday last made absolute the rule and granted the Injunction, restrain ing the County Auditors and Treasurers, the one from levying and the other from collecting the taxes which they were au thorized to do under the Comptroller Generals circular. The grounds upon which the order is granted, are th*t th Joint Resolution directs the collection if taxes for the past fiscal year, which has already been provided for, instead of !br the present year j and again that the Comptroller General directs a levy for ;he payment of interest on the public iebt, when the Legislature had neither Ixed the tax, normadean appropriation 'or-the purpose. The effect of the in unction is to stay the collection of taxes in til the Legislature removes the em mrgo, which will doubtless be very hortly done. The action of Judge Helton, has exoited the iro of some- of he impecunious, but wili commend it elf to the.approval of all who desire to ustain an iudependcut judiciary. JKar* Our Columbia exchanges com >luih of petty thefts and bnrglaries per? >etrate(J in that city. s Upon the Eight Shoulders.?The! Cheater Reporter in a recent onslaught upon the Medium, among other allega tions, chargee upon that paper, the pub lication, for pay, of the various Acts of the Legislature, as evidence of its suc cess in being 011 the winning side, and getting its full share of provender at the a - - ? 1 yuuui; ci iu. ah our neignoor, we sup | pose, has sins enough of its own to an jswer for, without assuming any of ours, i we plead guilty to the charge, if guilt there be. But is there any wrong in the premises? If there be, it is a wrong which is shared by nearly all of the public journals of the State. The ciues tiou of the policy of a law is one very distinct from that of the propriety of availing one's self of its provisions. To have refused our share of the remunera tion for publishing (he laws of the State on the ground that by so doing we sanc tioned an unnecessary waste of the pub lic funds, would manifest, we think, a Quixotic sensitiveness, and over-reflned scrupulousness. As we have said, if we have erred, we have erred with the best journals of the State. As yet, however, we have had no "conscience money," or any other to trouble us, for we have not yet collected a dime of this year's ac count. tfifE Legislature met on yesterday at noon in Columbia. The first business of the House is the choice of a speaker, and the contest lies between S. J. Lee, of Aiken, and Timothy Hurtey, of Charleston, with every probability of the election of the first named. Messrs. A. C. Jones, Clerk of the House, and 'Joseph Woodruff, Clerk of the Senate, both courteous and efficient officers; will doubtless be re-elected. The elec tion for United States Senator will like ly come off early in the session; the prominent candidates being Governor Scott, R. B. Elliott, and John J. Patter son. The Young Men's Debating Club of Abbeville decided on Monday night, that Washington was a greater General than Napoleon? Is there a Frenchman in town? The next subject for discus sion, is which exerts the greater influ ence the writer or the speaker ? The following officers were elected for the ensuing month : President?H. D. Wilson. i- t r-t t i v icc-jrii;sjut:iii?Xj. V;. JjlgOU. Secretary?S. C. Cason. Treasurer?L. W. Simpkins. Critic?M. Golphin. Abbeville not Destroyed.?The reports of the late fire here, were very much exagerated. Instead of a town "in ashes," only four stores, and those by no means the finest, were destroyed, and the stocks of goods were principally saved; the loss in stock beinjf for the most part covered by insurance. Mr. Robinson, and perhaps Mr. Aiken, will build soon, and new and commodious stores in due time will rise upon the present vacant lots. The late fire has not materially crippled the business of Abbeville. Another Dwelling Burst.?We regret to learn that the residence of Mr. John R. Tolbert, near Ninety-Six, was destroyed by fire during the past week. Together with the house, some $2,000 in money was also consumed. To add to add to the poignancy of the blow, Mr. Tolbert was, attending the funeral of I his wife. Mr. T. is well known as one j of jhe late County Commissioners, aud |as a member of the present Legislature. He has our sympathy in his alhiction. The First Official Act.?T] e Sheriff is now occupying temporarily the County Commissioner's Office in the Eastern corner of the New Court House, and the first official act in the new building was performed on Friduy last by the entry of several attachment cases by Mr. Robert Jones, in the Sher iff's books. "NYi- learn that a full set of new books has been ordered, and that Abbeville will begin anew its official ex istence with a clean record. New Town Marshall.?At a recent meeting of the Town Council, Robert Cunningham, otherwise known as Bob Cunningham, was elected Town Mar shall, in the place of Alfred Ellison. Alfred made an active and efficient offi cer, and we have no doubt that his sue ce-oor will prove equally active and effi cient. t Sad Accident.?We learn that a cabin on the premises of Mr. John T* Baskin, near Lowndesville, in which was a colored child, was destroyed by fire on one day of the past week?the child being burnt up in the house. The Are occurred during the day when no grown person was near to rescue the child. Another Gin House Burnt.?We learn that the gin house of Mr. F. M. Mitchell, near Willington, was consum ed by fire during ttie past week. To gether with the house some fifteen bales of cotton were destroyed. The fire oroKe out wnen tne nands were at din ner, and as no fire was used near the house, it was clearly the act of an in cendiary. Cakd.?Mr. Hugh Wilson, jr., would return his thanks to Wra. H. Parker, E 4., agent of the London and Liver pool and Globe, and Mr. W. T. Branch, agent of the Hartford, for their prompt adjustment and paymentin full of losses sustained by the Mcllwain Block in the late fire. The Cotton Market has been very active during the past week, a good ar ticle bringing 16^ cents. As much as 17 cents has beep paid in settlement of old accounts. Taxes eor Highway Purposes.? Attorney-General Chamberlain, in reply to the question submitted to him in regard to the power of the County Commissioners of a County to levy a tax for highway purposos iu addition to the full amount of the levy alllowed by tho joint resolution of March 13, 1872, expresses tho opinion, that tho County Commission ers aro limited to throe mills inclusive of tho highway tax. in ill the Coun ties except Fairfield, in which County the limit is ono and one h^l|' piiilg.
