Dec 25, 1873-52-tf. The Anderson Conservator. The first number of this new claimant for public favor is on our table. Its ty pographical appearance is neat and quite tasty, whbile its filling gives the~ assurance that Mr. W. S. Brown, its editor, will make it a live and acceptable paper. We extend him and bis partner, Mr. Haynie, our compliments, with good wishes for a prosperous course. Good, If Tru. The Baltimore Sun's Washington cor respondent, gives this agreeable piece of information, which, if it be true, will prove an acceptable New Years' present at the hands of President Grant. Here it is, "the President has concluded to "pardon all persons now -under convic "tion for Ku Klux off'ences, where such "is asked for by their reputable neigh "bors." Death of General Wright. Gei>eral Ambrose R. Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, died on the 21st from nervous fever. He had been ill three weeks. General Wright's military record as com mander of Wright's Brigade, Army of Northern Va., is known ; his legal and po litical attainments were eminent, and his character as a man was without reproach. He was recently elected to Congress from the eighth Ceorgia district. He was forty-seven years of age. The Bribery Case. The Senator elect, John J. Patterson, and Gen. Worthington, who gave bonds sometime since to appear under the grave charge of bribery, have been dis charged by trial Justice Gco. A. Rich mond, who declared after bearing the testimony in the case as brought before him a fe days ago, "that it appeared to be a:i atrocious attempt at blackmail ;" consequently in the quickest way known to his honor, so-called, the honest Sena tor and his friend were discharged, and their bondsmen released. The parties who testified to the fact in the first ap pearance, on second consideration de clared that they were not aware of hav ing sworn to the affidavits, and that they had not been read to them. Another fizzle in the work of reform. "By St. Paul, the work goes bravely on." Chrstas Dy Once more dear reader, in the merci ful providence of the Father, we have been permitted to see the anniversary of the Saviour's birth, and it is but meet that our hearts b.e Siled with ador ation whxile our voices be lifted up in ascriptions of pr::ise-as we sing Glory to God in Highest, on earth peace and good will to men ! We have much, very mnuch, to be grateful for, and while we, this day, mn the exuberance of joy, common i to this festival occasion, enjoy the mer r.ment in the various pleasures prepared and the feast of good things in store, we 1 must not lose sight of what we owe to the great Donor :ibove, from whose hands all blessings flow. t To you, dear readers, we wish all the cheer, the joy, the happiness, of the Chriatmnas day. May your hearts be light, your consciences at peace. and< your pecketa heavy, o.nd may tie un'i v-ersal favorite, Santa Claus, visit vc',.r little ones with abundance of 'good I things I Merry Christmas to at~ both large The charleston News We are p'ensed to notice that the en terprise of the propiietors of this live!y and excellent paper is so largely appre ciated, their subscription list having so greatly increased that they have been obliged to add a Patent Triple Mailer to their already well appointed establish ment. Our readers are informed that the Mailer is a labor saving machine for addressing their daily, tri-weekiy and weekly editions, and is capable of printing name and date on from 6ve to seven thousand copies an hour. Su:cess to their enterprise. The Lunatic Asylum. The Report of Dr. Ensor, the Superin. tendent of this institution is rfceired, and we regret that our limllited sp-ice will not permit such a n,tice as its peculiar claims and misfortunes merit. Dr. En sor has found himself fitted for the high and respon-ible pkv.i(.n he has so ably filled, and his report shows clearly and forcibly what he and his suffering patients have been forced to encounter during the past year. We extract the following: "The money designed for the nobie charity over which we have been called to preside, has been diverted from its legitimate channel by those in whose hands the destinies of the State were placed four years ago, and the custodians of a trust, the sacredness of which should have been held paramount to that of all others, have not only employed it, as your Committee believes, for the advancement of their own sefish ends, buthave added to the injury thus wan tonly done to the afflicted beneficiaries of the State, by manifesting an hndiffe rence to the cruel consequences of their action utterly unbecoming the rulers of a civilized people." General News Items, Forsyth, Ga., has had a first-class fire, with a loss of $75,000. Edsard A. Pollard, the author of "the Lost Cause," is dead. An earthquake shock was felt on Sun day throughout Oregon and the North ern Pacific Coast. The General Conference of the Meth odist Church has decided that Sumter shall be honored with the next session. Edwin Forrest, the illustrious Ameri can dramatist, is dead. Report says his property amounts to more than a mil lion. A bloody row occurred at Graniteville, S. C., on Sunday last, in which one white man was killed, and three ne groes wounded. A Washington dispatch says that the cotton tax will come before the Ways and Means committee. An act for re funding the tax on Cvtton will be one of the best Acts that Congress can enact. The bill prohibiting the collection of double rates of postage in cases where the full rates are not prepaid, was adopt ed in the House on the 17th. The new tariff' law goes into effect on the first of January. The passenger train over the Wil mington, C. & A. R. R., ran off the track, on the 17th, and the stoves up setting, set 'ire to two sleeping cars, which, with the first and second class coaches, were destroyed. Fortunately, but strange to say, no one was hurt. The Greenville Mountainteer says that a dastardly attack was made on the Rev. E. T. Buist, D. D., after dark on Satur day night last. He was struck down by a blow on the bac'< of his head, and left insensible. As he was not robbed, it is not known what the purpose was, or even who committed the outrageous as' sault. The Chestcr fire though severe, falls only on the merchants. No private res idences of those in needy circumstances were burnt. The entire loss is estimated at $150,000, and is covered by insurance to the amount of $60,000. It is not known how the fire occurred. Our sym pathies:.re with the people of this de voted town, who have twice suffered heavily by the fire-fiend, and once by a terrific gale which destroyed so large an amount of property. BEWLRE.-An exchange says: Inflated rubber bustles are the latest popular whims of fashion. It takes a young husband with weak lungs half an hour to blow his wife up to a fashionable rotundity. Beware whom you marry. NEW YORK ARGU-S.--This is the title of a new first-class family Journal, published by a P. Sykes, New York.
