InAmnu fntelUgcufcf* ANDERSON C. H., S? C. THTJRSLUY MORNJETG JAK 25",1872.. It will be observed that the price of Mapes' Phosphate has again been reduced, and She Agent for Anderson- County, Mr. C. A. Reed, requests us to state that persons who have already purchased from him this season w?Lget the benefit of the reduced price. ? Rafes of Freight. "^VT^t are informed " ffialChe rates of freight over-the Blue Ridge Railroad? have bee? mate j^ally reduced from the tariff given in this pa? per two weeks ago. We make. this statement in justice of the officers in charge of the Road. A Just Measure. ".'.J?Cr.. Crittenden, of Greenville, has introduced ft. biii into the. House of Representatives, which proposes to reduce the salaries of County Treas? urers and County Auditors, and give the elec? tion of said officers to the people. It provides that the annual salaries of County Treasurers stall'not exceed the sum of $1,500, except in the county of Charleston, where it Bhall not eifceed $2,000; and the salaries of County Au? ditors shall not exceed $600 per annum, except in the county of Charleston, $1,000 per annum. It likewise provides that these officers shall be chosen hereafter at the general election for members of the Legislature, and that they shall hold their offices for two years from the date of qualification; they shall be ineligible for re? election after serving four years, until at least One full term shall have intervened. The bill empowers the Governor to fill vacancies by ap? pointment, to continue in force until the next rafters! election. We hope to see this bill be? come a law. Ua . v -? ? ? ? ? otA Destrjuotire Fire in Abbeville. u ?n Friday morning last, a most disastrous fire occurred in the neighboring town of Abbeville, resulting in the destruction of much valuable property. . It appears that the fftel'originated in a kitchen?whether by acci cufnt or.design is not definitely settled?in the rear of Knox's range, which was situated be? tween the Court House and the Marshall House. The Harnes were unmanageable before discovery,, and swept in every direction, al? though we learn that the air was unusually calm when the fire was discovered. Knox's entire range was destroyed, together with the Court House, Marshall. House, and a row of old) shanties adjacent to the latter. The coun? ty* officers succeeded in rescuing the records from the Court House, and only a^ few papers of value were destroyed. The Marshall House, which had been recently improved by its pro? prietors, Messrs. James S. Cothran and Hugh Wilson, and was an ornament to the town, was totally consumed. The furniture and bedding belonging to the lessee, Mr. John A. Mays, was partially saved, and the stocks of goods in the lower story were likewise rescued for the most part. The total loss is estimated at $75,000, on which there was an insurance of $20,000, divi? ded in moderate sums among the property ovvners. Blue Ridge Railroad. Another change has taken place in the man? agement of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and this time it was most unexpected to the public A meeting of the Directors was held in Colum? bia last Friday, when Col. Jos. 8. Cothran re? signed the place of President, and Messrs. M. C. Butler, M? W. Gory, J. B. Palmer and W. B. Gulick resigned their positions as Directors. The places of these gentlemen were immediate? ly supplied by the election of Mr. John J. Pat? terson as President, and Messrs. C. D. Melton, Thos. Steers. G. W? Waterman, James M. Allen and F. 6. Jacobs as Directors. Mr. Jacobs was also elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. In resigning the office of President, Col. Cothran stated that his acceptance in the first place was only a temporary arrangement, and that his private business pursuits prevent? ed his devoting the necessary time to the du? ties of the office. We do not know the purpo? ses and intentions of the new Board of Direc? tors, nor the reasons for the change of manage? ment It is announced that the new President promises to push the enterprise through to completion. We sincerely wish that this may prove true, but "hope deferred maketh the heart sick," and we are becomeing rather tired of waiting for substantial progress in the com? pletion of this important enterprise. January Term. . The Circuit Court began its sittings at this place on Monday lost. After the usual routine business, Judge Orr gave an admirable charge to the grand jury, instructing them as to the nature and extent of their duties, and making some practical suggestion for the consideration of the members. In concluding this charge, his Honor alluded to the general peace, qniet and good order within the County, which was entirely exempt from the disorders and troubles witnessed in other parts of the State. He at? tributed the peaceful condition of affairs here to the law-abiding disposition of our people, nnd said that so long as the community set it? self against violence and turbulence, so long would it be free from the consequences of dis? order and illegal conduct. He expressed an emphatic opinion that, in all the range of bis acquaintance, there was no community equal to Anderson for the unflinching administration ofjustico through its grand and petit juries. Our condition was simply an advertisement that there had been no lawlessness in our midst, aud whilst our fellow-citizens in other sections had been incarcerated and the writ of habeas corpus suspended, there had not been the slight? est pretext for such measures in Anderson. Wc do not pretend to report the exact language employed by his Honor, but we give the sub ptaoee of this high and deserved compliment to our people. The amount of criminal business before the Court is larger than usual, but the principal cases are indietments for obstructing roads, creating public nuisances, and assault and bat? tery. One or two cases have been tried, and the grand jury has discharged its duties, making the customary presentment yesterday morning. We notice in attendance the popular and effi? cient Solicitor, Wm. H. Perry, Esu,, of Green? ville; Gen. Sara'l. McGowsn, of Abbeville, and others. i Our Washington Correspondence. Washington, D. C, Jan. 22, 1872. : The Senalewas not in session yesterday, and very litde business was transacted in the House. The Senate, it is understood, desires an early adjourn meat, but they are very dilatory in their wo:-kr whichr if continued in, will extend the. sestriondnlo the summer months. Senator Mor? ton, on Monday, will call up his resolution for fixing the day of adjournment. The Radicals I of the Grant wing feel that the sooner.they 'take themselves from the public gaze the better for them ; and the Democrats will be glad to put an early stop to their infernal deviltry. The Cape Cod delegation called upon Secre ^?taiy-Bout welt -yesterday. 'They claim that if that part of the Washington treaty relating to the fisheries is carried out their business will be entirely broken, up, as it costs them twice as much to fit oat their vessels as it does the Canadians. The delegation claimed to repre? sent 83,000 persons directly interested in the fishing trade and 500 vessels employed in the business. Formerly they had ten Ship Yards in full operation;'now they have not one.? Thi?3 is a commentary full of meaning and warning oh the blighting rule of Radicalism Secretary Boutwell counselled them to appeal to Congress for such relief as will enable them to compete with the Canadians in their busi? ness." Before we get done with the Washington ; treaty other than fishermen will find how their interests have been cared for by our side of the commission. It is pretty well settled that the income tax for 1871 will not be repealed. The members from the agricultural districts favor its collec? tion, as it is a tax levied on capital and has been estimated in the revenue for the present year. The high tariff members favor its aboli? tion so that they can have a pretext for not re? ducing taxation. The Radicals do not want the Investigating Committee to go to New Orleans. They fear a repetition of the New York custom house ex? pose, and think they cannot afford to have any more of their rascalities unearthed. Now, that the troubles. have, subsided in that city it is thought the Committee will not go there, but send for persons and papers, and take testimony here. Horace Greeley is obstreperous. Horace will not come up to Lie Radical rack. He refuses to sign the call for the National Republican Convention, of which he is a member. He does not wish to be bound by its action, and in? timates by this that be will not support Grant if nominated. I. fs thought that the Ways and Means Com | mit tee will not recommend the abolition of the bonded warehouse system, which is advocated by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The debate on the amnesty bill, with Sum ner's civil rights amendment, and the civil service reform resolution will extend over next week. The opposition of Grant's nearest friends and fuglemen to his civil service reform excites considerable comment It is rumored that he is now aware of the political blunder which he made, and had it arranged among his friends that they must remedy the error by preventing a consummation of his purposed reform, as it is called. Each day brings trouble to the Administra? tion. On Monday a resolution is to be intro? duced in the House inquiring into the use of Seneca Sand Stone in the construction of the new State Department, and the reasons for its adoption. Grant is a large stockholder in the Seneca Stone Company, the shares having been given to him for reasons not set forth, and this resolution aims at finding out the means used to accomplish their purpose. The House yesterday refused to give John Edwards, the sitting member from the third Arkansas district, more time to take testimony against Boles, who contests his scat. Edwards was given his seat on the certificate given him by Senator (then Governor) Clayton. The ac? tion of the House is considered as foreshadow? ing the vote on the contest. The probability is that Edwards will be displaced in favor of Boles. The distillers, whiskey-dealers and rectifiers( who are here in great numbers, want all the taxes on their business consolidated so that it may be all collected at once, and fixed at not more than 75 cents per gallon. PALMETTO. Haight & Co.rs Mammoth Circus and Menagerie.-;?This immense organization, which has created a furore wherever it has been because of the talent of performers, each of whom has a speciality, is on its way hither. Its gratuitous exhibitions are, in themselves, sufficient to give the enterprise a prestige. It is a Southern company, which has been most heartily received throughout its entire tour, which embraced every city of any note from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Macon Daily Citizen says: This is the only Southern institution travel? ing, aud being superior in point of artistic tal? ent, and possessing the largest collection of rare wild animals, they have won the enco? miums of the press and people wherever they have been. In order to accommodate the vast number who always throng to witness the scenes in the arena, and to look upon the wonders of which we only read in natural history, the pro? prietors have been compelled to increase their capacity, and now have two monster pavilions, in one of which the menagerie is exhibited, and the other is set apart for the circus perform? ances. We haii the coming of the circus and menagerie with pleasure, and can assure the public that the exhibition is one of the best on this continent. Mapes' Superphosphate.?This old and well tried fertilizer, is still in the market, at a reasonable price. Having been constantly used in all parts of the country since 1852, when it was first introduced, this is the twenti? eth year of its most successful career; and not? withstanding the many competing fertilizers that have since been brought into use, Mapes' still maintains its popularity, and is the favor? ite of many of our best planters. Its great recommendations are that no adulterating ma? terial is used in its manufacture, and its con? stituents are such as to produce quick action and permanent improvement to the soil. The Agents for this State are Messrs. Kinsman & Howell, of Charleston, gentlemen well known to our planting community, for their energy, promptness and strict integrity in all business matters. Sec their advertisement in another column. The passenger train returns to this place from Bel ton on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings of each week. Election of Associate Justice and Circuit Judges. .. We append the proceedings of the General Assembly on Thursday last, in relation to the election of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and eight Circuit Judges. The report is copied from ;the Phxenxx: : At l?p. m., the hourtfor the meeting of the joint Assembly, for the purpose of electing the Circuit Judges, and-an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, arrived. The Senate was re? ceived in the hall of the House. Lieutenant Governor Ransier took the. Chair and announced that the first election wouild be for an Associate Justice. Mr. Johnsonj-of Sumter, after a few eulogis? tic remarks on the character and ability ^f his nominee, nominated Judge Willard for re-elec? tion. Byas, of Orangeburg, seconded the nomina? tion, but said he did so, not because he thought Judge Willard altogether qualified, but because he thought him the best man that, could be ob? tained. In answer to an inquiry of Beverly Nash as to what was the nature of his objec? tion to Judge Willard, he said that, Judge Wil? lard had made discrimination in favor of white men. Nash wanted to know what kind of dis? crimination the gentleman referred to; for, if it was social discrimination, as he presumed to be the case, it was a matter with which the General Assembly had no concern. Byas did not reply. June Mobley arose and stated that he wished to nominate one of South Carolina's .most dis? tinguished and ablest citizens, the Ho'u. Benja? min Byas, of Orangeburg. This created a gen? eral laugh, and Byas indignantly declined the nomination. Jamison nominated S. L. H?ge, but his name was afterward withdrawn in favor of Judge Willard. A ballot was then taken, and resulted as' fol? lows : Whole number votes cast, 130 ;? for Judge Willard, 123; scattering, 7. The Assembly then went into the election of a Judge of the First Circuit. Jamison nominated Hon. R.F.Graham.? There was no other nomination, and Judge Graham was unanimously re-elected. The an? nouncement of the result was received with considerable clapping of hands and applause. For the Second Circuit, Hayne, of Barnwell, presented the name of. J. J. Maher. The nom? ination was seconded by Jones, of Williams burg. The latter gentleman spoke in extrava? gant terms of the qualifications of Mr. Maker, and urged as an insurmountable objection to the election of Judge Farmer, who had not yet been placed in nomination, that he refused to qualify before the Supreme Court, because" there was a negro on the bench. Holmes, of Colletonf nominated Judge. Far? mer, as a good Republican and on able and. ex? perienced lawyer. . .??:,:. Byas seconded the nomination, and succeed? ed, as usual, in damaging the prospects of the gentleman whom he designed to aid. Robert Smalls, of Beaufort, nominaTfcdL'Wl F. Colcock, Esq., as a person desired ~both'"by the colored ana white people of Beaufort coun? ty to fill the position ; and that, though not a Republican, he knew him to be a man who would fearlessly and impartially discharge his duty. . . .T. Mr. Corbin wanted to know if Mr. Cpjcbck was the same man that was Collector at.the port of Charleston, and had not yet settled his dues. r;. Smalls replied, that Mr. Colcock had been Collector of Customs at Charleston, but that it was untrue that he had not settled with the Government,- which the gentleman Ifsovn Charleston should well know, as he was.and had been District Attorney of the United States for two years. {????'?> ? A considerable row arose here. June Mob ley made a motion that the rule limiting the time of speaking to five minutes be rescinded. Mr. Corbin maintained that all motions were out of order, except such as related to the elec? tion of Judges, which was the sole business before the joint Assembly. u Mobley, Byas, Jones, Jamison, and other noisy members, endeavored to get the floor at the same time, and all was noise and coufusion for ten or fifteen minutes. Nash moved that the Senate withdraw to their own chamber until order was restored. Ransier used the gavel strenuously, and final? ly succeeded in quieting the disturbance suffi? ciently to commence the call of the roll fprih'e ballots. The whole number of votes cast, was 136?J. J. Maher, 117; C. B. Farmer, 13! j W. F. Colcock, 6. Judge Green was re-elected, without opposi? tion, for the Third Circuit. For the Fourth Circuit, Keitt, of Darlington^ nominated B. W. Edwards, Esq. Mr. Levy, of Charleston, nominated Henry Mclver, Esq. Mr. Crittenden seconded the nomination. Mr. Maxwell, of Marlboro, put the name of Charles P. Townsend in nomination. The ballots resulted as follows: 0. P. Town send, 97; H. Mclver, 22; B. W. Edwards, 12. For the Fifth Circuit. Judge Melton, iw*? unanimously re-elected. For the Sixth Circuit, Clinton, of Lancaster, nominated Thomas Jefferson Mackey. Byas seconded the nomination. . White, of York, nominated Col. I. D.'Wiffi crspooD. :. >. Mr. Corbin seconded the nomination, and spoke in the highest terms of the legal attain? ment-! and worthy character of his nominee. O'Connell, of York, rose and opposed, in an earnest manner, the election of T. J. Mackey, whom, he stated, was a violent and turbuleut character, that the people of Charleston only desired to place him on the bench in order to get him out of Charleston. \ ? The balloting resulted as follows: Whole number of votes, 120; necessary to a choice, 61; T. J. Mackey, 74; I. D. Witherspoou, 45. For the Seventh Circuit, Hurley nominated for re-election the Hon. Montgomery Moses. Joe Crews nominated Mr. W. E. Earle. The vote resulted: Moses, 98; Earle, 25. . After the election of Judge Moses, White, of York, rose upon a question of information, which was, he said, to know if it would be in orderte nominate Ulysses S. Grant for President of the United States. The Chair ruled that such a nomination would not be in order. Well, then, said White, I nominate him for Judge of f.outh Carolina. Judge ( rr was unanimously re-elected for the Eighth Circuit. ? Hon. Hiram Warner has received the ap? pointment of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, to supply the vacancy occa? sioned by the resignation of Chief Justice Lochrane. ? Governor Vance has resigned his position as United States Senator from North Carolina. The election of his successor will take place on Tuesday, 30th inst., the day preceding the adjournment of the Legislature. ? The Mobile Register learns that a white man is swindling the negroes of Mississippi with the statement that the emancipation proc? lamation by Lincoln has been burned atCnica go, and that it would require a large amount of money to get up another; and that, unless the thing wa? done soon, slavery would be restored, and they would all go back into servitude. ? The Democratic Central Committee of Missouri has issued an address to the party in that State, reviewing the political situation, and recommending the policy of running no Dem? ocratic candidate for President in the approach? ing campaign. The address summarizes the result obtained by the "passive" policy in their late State canvass, and points to these highly beneficial results as an evidence that this is the remedy for the miegovernment which now af? flicts the nation. Missouri 1 >einocrats seem to be thoroughly united in the effort to enforce the adoption of this policy by the Democratic party of the whole country, and strongly urge the plea that a liberal Republican only can de? feat Grant at the next election. ITEMS-EDITORIAL AND OTHERWISE. yr The agricultural land scrip of Georgia has been sold for $243,000. ? Ex-Governor Bullock, late of Georgia, is said to be in Montreal, Canada. ?;? Right Rev. John McGill, the Catholic Bishop of.Virginia, died in Richmond last week. ? The Democrats of Connecticut are confi? dent of success at the coming election in that State. ? A bill has been introduced in the Missis? sippi Legislature for the benefit of "worn-out old negroes." ? The President's father, Jesse R. Grant, has teudercd his resignation as postmaster at Covington,?Ky. ? Published statistics show that ninety thou? sand emigrants left Germany last year, nearly all going to the United States. ? The New Orleans Time* thinks Alexis should not be allowed to leave America with? out being shown the Louisiana Legislature. ? Gen. J. R. Lewis, Superintendent of Pub? lic Schools in Georgia, has resigned that posi? tion. Gov. Smith has appointed Prof. Gusta vus J. Orr to succeed him. ? John Mitchell, the distinguished Irish pa? triot, has been invited to visit Savannah, Ga., on the 17th of March next, as the guest of the Hibernian Society of that city. ? There is a young girl in Virginia who wears four bullets made into the form of a Mal? tese cross, which were extracted from the bod? ies of her father and brother, who were killed in the siege of Richmond. ? AH of the prisoners recently tried in Col? umbia under the Ku Klux law, who received sentences for less than one year, nave been sent to the Counties in which the crime with which tbey arc charged was committed, for cohfine ment in the jails. ? The Washington Star says: "It is said that the House committee on elections will shortly report to the House in favor of admit? ting C. C. Bowen as the representative of the First District of South Carolina, in plac of De Large, who now holds that seat." ? Col. A. A. Franklin Hill, a native of Athens, Ga., and at one time co-editor of the Southern Banner, died at his plantation near Eufaula, Ala., on the 10th inst. Col. Hill was a genial, kind-hearted gentleman, and met the last great enemy of man as an humble Chris? tian. ? It has recently been discovered, in the War Department, that Grant has been a de? faulter- ever since the Mexican war to the amount of five thousand dollars. As lieuten? ant, acting commissary and quartermaster, he was entrusted with public money, of which he bagged the above-stated amount. ; ? For the benefit of those v/ho are thinking of getting situations as governors, it may be stated that Louisiana offers the greatest induce? ments, the salary there being $8,000 per year. California pays $7,000, Nevada $7,000, and Wisconsin, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey,Kentncky, and Massachusetts each $5,000. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Ver? mont, Michigan, and Nebraska do not aspire t? chief magistrates who are worth more than $1,000 per year. !? A prominent railroad official informs the Augusta Chronicle that the number of families, emig^a^/ts',, chiefly from North and South Caro? lina, passing through Augusta during the first fifteen days of this year, exceeded six hundred. About two-thirds of this number were en route for Arkansas and Texas, the remainder settling in Georgia. Included in this number are eigh? ty negroes from the single County of York, in South Carolina, who following the fortunes of three white families, were removing to Texas. ? The Washington Patriot says : "The de? ficiency bill of $27,000, lately introduced in the House to remedy the costs of the Ku Klux in? vestigation in South Carolina and elsewhere, is entirely too modest. Such a bill, to be honest and effective, ought to provide for the lost cot? ton crop in nine counties in South Carolina; for damages for false imprisonment of hundreds of innocent and unoffending citizens, and for compensation for the grief, terror, and disor? ganization occasioned to at least one poor coun? ty which was, confessedly by mistake, embraced in the President's proclamation of outlawry. Let members see to it and have this Bill prop? erly amended." ? It is rumored that Congress will soon pro? mote Colorado to the dignity of a State, inc. ud ing in its boundaries the Territory of Wyoming, although the combined populations of the two is far from being legally sufficient to sustain that dignity. New Mexico, on the other hand, has a population legally sufficient to entitle her to admission, and her early admission was strenu? ously advocated at one time, but now not even a whisper is to be heard about it. The fact that New Mexico went Democratic last fall perhaps explains the decrease in enthusiasm, while, as is well known, Colorado is Radical, which may have something to do with her ille? gal exaltation. ? The Luzerne Union records another terri? ble accident resulting from the too common practice of blowing down a lamp chimney to extinguish the light. The casualty occurred in Cleveland, Pa., a few nights since. Mrs. Eliz? abeth Stark disrobed to retire about ten o'clock. ?She attempted to distinguish her coal oil lamp in a very common manner, by blowing down the chimney. The lamp exploded, throwing over her the blazing liquid, and in an instantshe was ciivolvcd in flames, and was terribly burn? ed. There seems to be no end to accidents, re? sulting from the careless use of kerosene, and the people cannot be too careful how they man? age and handle their lighted lamps. Mapcs' Phosphate?Ixirgc Results from Late Planting on an Old Field. Anderson County, Jan. 20,1872. Mr. C. A. Reed, Agent for Mapes' Phosphate. ?Dear Sir : I used Mapes' Phosphate bought of you hist season on an old sedge field, about 100 lbs. per acre. I planted my Cotton com? mencing the 7th of April, and finished the 10th. I failed in getting a stand, and on the 15th, 16th and 17th of May I planted it over. The result was I made 500 lbs. per acre, and if the season had been favorable, I am satisfied that I would have made S00 lbs.; and without the fertilizer it would not have made 200 lbs. per acre, considering the late planting.

MoGEE, Ex'r. Jan 2">, 1S72 5 A Body and Mind Disease. Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain are too intimately allied for the one to suffor without the other, so that dyspepsia and despondency are inseparable. It may be ad? ded, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost invariably accompanied by irritation of the temper. The invigorating and tranquillizing operation of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully devel? oped in cases of indigostion. The first effect of this agreeable tonic is comforting and encour? aging. A mild glow prevades the system, the chronic uneasiness .in the region of the stom? ach is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which characterizes the disease is abated. This improvement Is not transient. It is not suc? ceeded by the return of the old symptoms with superadded force, as i? always the case when un medicated stimulants are given for the com? plaint. Each dose seems to impart a perma? nent accession of healthful invigoration. But this is not all. The aparient and anti-bilUous properties of the preparation are scarcely aec-r ondarv in importance to its tonic virtues. If there is an overflow of bile, the secretion is soon brought within proper limits, and if the bilary organ is inert and torpid it is toned and regula? ted. The effect upon the discharging organs is equally salutary, and in cases of constipation the cathartic action is just sufficient to produce the desired^result gradually and without pain. The Bitters also promote healthy evaporation from the surface, which is particularly desira? ble at this season when sudden spells of raw, unpleasant weather are apt to chock the natu? ral porspiration and produco congestion of the liver, coughs, and colds. The best safeguard against all diseases is bodily vigor, and this the great Vegetable Restorative especially pro? motes.
