McCONNELL. Bgy We are requested to state that Rev. Dr. Broaddos, of Greenville, is expected to preach in the Anderson Baptist Church on next Sab? bath, at 11 o'clock, a, m. The stockholders in the Anderson Far? mers' and Mechanics' Association are earnestly requested to pay the amount subscribed, as the Association is in want of funds. B&~ An exchange states thatCatoosa County, Ga., has elected a Badical to the Legislature by fifteen majority, although the County is largely Democratic This resulted from there being two Democratic candidates in the field, by which the vote was divided. "A word to the wise is sufficient.'1 B&F The Premiums! for the approaching Fair are on exhibition at the store of Messrs. B. F. Crayton & Sons. In this connection, we beg leave to state that the premium list contains the value of each premium, and that it was never intended to award money, as some per? sons have supposed. The Fair Grounds. The preparations for the approaching Coun? ty Fair are being vigorously pushed. The con? tractor, CoL F. A Hoke, is now erecting the . main building, which will be a structure cred? itable alike to the town and Cbunty. It is eighty feet long by forty wide, and is admira? bly arranged for the purposes of an exhibition. The entire building will be completed early next week; The enclosure will be made in the course of a week, and the trotting track graded in ample time. Everything will be in readi? ness for the opening of the Fair on the 30th ihst, and we trust that our farmers are prepa? ring to lend interest to the occasion by the ex? hibition of field crops; that the ladies are pre? paring an abundant variety for the household, domestic and fancy departments, and that eve? ry one who thinks there is any chance for a premium in any of the departments will eon tribute t? swell the list of exhibitors far be? yond any previous year. All of our dtizens should feel a lively interest in the success of the County Fair, and be proud to assist in the promotion of whatever tends to reflect honor and credit upon Anderson County. We are not quite bereft of all that makes home dear to a people, aud let us ding steadily to all that is good aud useful amongst us. Come to the County Fair, and biing your wives and chil? dren. Let us make it an occasion of improve? ment and enjoyment, forgetful a." the ills and commotions in rife, and pressing; back for the moment, at all events, the clouds that obscure our political horizon. Shall we Vote for Tomlinsou or Hoses 7 Beyond all question, there will be no third ticket in the field ibr State .officers, notwith? standing the frantic efforts of the Moses faction to create the impression that the Democrats contemplate such action. Are we to make a choice between the Radical rivals ? Or must the inactivity of the Democratic party cause the election of Moses? These are grave ques? tions to decide, and it becomes- every one to kok the matter squarely in the face. We have been disposed to hold aloof from the support of cither ticket, believing there were sufficient seasons to justify tili? coarse. But we now be iiold the revelation: ! of this campaign, whereby the venality and unscrupulous character of Franklin J. Moses, jr., has been clearly de? monstrated, if there was any lack of proof be? forehand, and we are forced to assume an atti? tude of active hostility to his election, even though his opponent is not our choice for Gov? ernor. Reuben Tomlinson is immeasurably superior to Moses as a public officer, and the contrast between them is too great for us to maintain a complete indifference as to the re? sult. The execution of the laws, the appoint? ment of innumerable officers throughout the State, and the exercise of all the high preroga? tives of our Chief Magistrate for the next two years, are to be entrusted to one of these can? didates, and the past record of Franklin J. Moses debars the possibility of even a tacit consent to his election. As a native of this State, it is claimed that he has a good recom? mendation for the position of Governor, but we contend that he has forfeited any such claim by the rapacity in which he has plundered the commonwealth. The election of Tomlinson eannot be viewed with the same distrust and lack of confidence in his official integrity, for the reason that prior to his nomination there had not been the breath of suspicion against his official character. On the contrary, he was pointed out as an exception to the general rule, and it was the constant boast of his political associates that he was uncontaminated by bri? bery and corruption. The charges made after his nomination, to which we were disposed to give credence upon general principles, are wholly uusustairied, in our judgment. For these reasons, and to prevent the dire calamity to the State which would follow the election of Moses, we are determined to cast our ballot for Tomlinson, in the confident belief that his ad? ministration will at least prove respectable in character. Others will act according to the dictates of their own consciences, we hope, and see to it that the State suffers no detriment at their hands. ' Our County Ticket. Next Wednesday the people of Anderson County wilt be called upon to select members of the Legislature and local officers for the en-' suing- terms.. Only one ticket has been put be? fore-the people a* this writing, yet we feel as? sured that another wilt be printed before the day of eTection. The ticket already nominated J was selected by representatives of the anti-Rad [ical party, and comprises gentlemen of well known ability and fitness for the various posi? tions. An unusual effort has-been made to cre? ate dissatisfaction with this ticket, and every conceivable device has been used to blind the people to the true issue before them. It is im? portant that the officers selected by the people should be competent, and this point will be readily yielded* in behalf of the Conservative nominees; still, there are other vital considera? tions for the opponents of Radicalism, and to these we ask the attention of our fellow-citizens' Every intelligent man knows that the success of the Radical party has proven otherwise than a blessing to our sister Counties. Here, in An i derson, that corrupt party has been fought inch by inch from the outset, and it has been neces? sary to resort to stratagem to weaken the opposition. Men are flattered and cajoled with promises of support for a particular office, if they will only consent to break the ranks of the Democratic party by appearing on the field as independent candidates. In the last elec? tion, this dodge was successful for the most part, but the subsequent action of several indi? viduals justified the declaration that there was a compact with the Radical party, and the eyes of the people were opened to the meaning of such neutrality. Are. we to re-enact the same farce? Democrats and Conservatives, are you willing to aid in the election of men whose only patriotism is personal ambition, and whose highest aim is to secure an office, re? gardless of the fact that all this division and dissension tends to build up the Radical party in Anderson County. The only hope of the Radical leaders is to make a slow progress in proselyting more and more at every election, thereby enabling them to count the time when the local offices are to be filled exclusively from their own ranks. Two years ago there was not a single white man on the ticket voted by the Radicals, who was an ac? knowledged member of that party, although more than one has since affiliated with them. The defeat of the Conservative ticket this time will elect a simon-pure Republican, which would be another stride towards the final re? sult, and two years hence there will be a very different ticket in the field, composed mainly, if not altogether, of Republicans. This is the kind of progression aimed at, and all is to be accomplished through the sowing of discord among the Democrats and Conservatives, who would never willingly or knowingly surrender the interests of this County to the tender mer? cies of the Radical party. We appeal, then, to Democrats and Conser? vatives, as they value the future interests of our people, to rally as one man to the polls on next Wednesday, and cast their ballots for the nominees of the Conservative Convention.? With two-thirds of our State under complete domination, let us stand shoulder to shoulder, and prevent further inroads upon the peace and prosperity of this section. A thorough victory next week is all that is needed to squelch the Radicals in this County, and this can be done by sinking personal preferences, casting aside prejudice and favoritism, and marching unitedly to the support of all the Conservative nominees. With a full vote, we have no fears of the result, and we would urge the utmost activity on the part of zealous Democrats in every neighborhood to secure a general attendance of their friends at the polls, Appointment of Supervisors. In the United States Court at Charleston, on last Friday, the following citizens of Anderson County, representing the Democratic party, were appointed Supervisors of Elections for the several precincts named. The duties and powers of these officers were succinctly stated in our last issue, which is simply to ascertain that no frauds are practiced, and that the elec? tion is conducted fairly in all respects. The gentlemen hereinafter named can receive their commissions by calling at this office: N. Scott and G. F. Tolly, Anderson C. H.; L. W. Kay, Belton; James L. Brock, Honea Path; Thomas Drake, Cmytonville; B. T. Acker, Calhoun; S. D. Deal, Williamston; H. O.King, Brushy Creek; Thomas W. Russell, Greenwood; Willis C. Watiins, Bethany; Ed? mund McCrary, Pendleton; A. B. Bowdem Sandy Springs; W. J. Bowen, Centreville; John B. Leverett, Howard'3 Old Field; Jesse P. McGee, Millford's; W. D. Hatten, Dark Corner; Thos. H. Anderson, Holland's Store; L. 0. Williford, Williford's Store; G. W. Maret, Brown's Muster Ground. I " 1 r" Handsome Present. Through the kindness of our friend, Gilbert M. Leitch, we are in receipt of a handsome case of Scissors, intended as a present for the presi? ding genius of our household, from Messrs. Hart & Co., of Charleston, and selected from a large invoice of Joseph Rodgers and Sons' Cut? lery, imported direct from England by this firm. Messrs. Hart & Co. are dealers in foreign and domestic Hardware, and keep constantly on hand a large assortment of goods in their line. Their recent importation of Guns and Cutlery is unusually largo, and they are en? abled to sell these articles as low as any house1 in the United States. Mr. Leitch is with Hart! & Co., and will bo pleased to see his friends from Anderson and elsewhere when they visit Charleston. ? Major Wm. II. Trapier, a native of Geore town, and for half a century a resident of that place, died at Walhalla, on the 21st ult. , The Radical Nominating Convention. Upon the call of the County Chairman, the delegates from the various townships met in Cochran's building, on Monday last. We were not present at the commencement of the pro? ceedings, and cannot give the full organization. Mr. John R. Cochran was chosen to preside over the Convention, and a committee was ap? pointed on credentials. The business in order as we entered seemed to be the ventilation of the views entertained by the delegates as to the proper course to be pursued in reference to County affairs?all discussion relative to State matters being strictly prohibited, since ? both factions of the Radical party were participa? ting in this meeting. Several colored men ad? dressed the Convention, showing a diversity of opinion upon the subject of making nomina? tions, some of them arguing in favar of placing colored men on the ticket, to which others were strenuously opposed as a matter of policy. The Committee on Credentials finally made a report, showing that all the townships were duly represented, except the Dark Corner. The call was then read by the Chairman, and it was announced that the first business in or? der was to consider the necessity of making nominations. A motion was made that the Convention proceed to ballot for three candidates for the Legislalure, which motion was adopted. At this point another siege of oratory was in? dulged in, and at times there was a perfect Babel of confusion and uproarious demands^o be heard on various questions. The Chairman used his utmost exertions to preserve order and business-like decorum, but frequently his efforts were unavailing, and several times he threat? ened to resign his position, unless the delegates agreed to maintain better order. Motion after motion was made, and then withdrawn; and upon each question, suggested by the various motions, there was a lively picture of Pan? demonium enacted?the delegates crowding around the table of the Chairman, and vocifer? ously demanding to be heard. At length, the delegates proceeded to make nominations, and almost every one felt it incumbent upon him to use his eloquence for the benefit of his favorite candidate, whiich efforts protracted the meeting considerably, and gave rise to new elements of discord and dissatisfaction among the faithful. The following named persons were placed before the Convention, to wit: Wm. S. Brown, Wm. Perry, John R. Coch? ran, Dr. John Wilson and B. F. Duncan, white; Wm. R. Parker, Elijah Williams, Hi? ram Greenlee and Jonas Brown, colored. Henry Kennedy, W. R. Redmond and Green D. Williams were also placed in nomination, but each of them declined. At this stage of the proceedings, and before the ballot was entered into, Mr. Cochran made a brief speech to the Convention, defining his position, and asking that the delegates would select such men as would give the ticket a chance to win; and in case he was nominated* he wanted to be strengthened by others, and not be weighed down by them. He thought if a Republican could be elected from Anderson County this time, it would be a stepping stone for others in that party hereafter, and in the course of human events, it would be possible to elect a colored man to the Legislature. He urged the negroes to use the ballot wisely, and to vote only for honest men, whether Republi? cans or Democrats, as the world held their race responsible for the manner in which the ballot is wielded. His remarks were listened to with the utmost attention, strict silence being ob? served during their delivery, which was in marked contrast with the turbulent condition of things when other speakers were on the | floor. The ballot was then ordered, and the voting conducted viva voce. As the name of each del? egate was called, he announced the three can? didates of his dhoice. The ballot resulted as follows: Whole number of votes cast, 78. Necessary to a choice, 40. John R. Cochran leceived 78 votes; Wm. S. Brown, 35; Wm. R. Parker, 34; Hiram Green? lee, 29; Dr. John Wilson, 20; Wm. Perry, 19; Elijah Williams, 5; B. F. Duncan, 5; Jonas Brown, 3. Mr. Cochran was declared the nominee of the Convention. No other candidate having re? ceived a majority olf the votes cast, a second ballot was in order, but at this juncture it was moved that further ballotting cease and the nominations be postponed. Also, that each delegation select one of their number to meet at this place on Saturday next, 12th .of October, to complete the ticket, which was unanimously adopted amid great enthusiasm. The Convention was in session four or five hours, wrangling over the question of putting a ticket in the field; and after deciding to nom? inate candidates for the Legislature, an ad? journment was effected upon the conclusion of the first ballot?the Convention having placed in nomination a single candidate, who might have received this distinction just as easily without a formal vote, as he was the unanimous choice of the Convention. This farcical end? ing was quite a surprise to ou^hlenj, who were thereby deprived the privilege of witnessing further ground and lofty tumbling in the arena of Radical politics. As is customary, the ticket voted by the Radicals is to be kept from public view until the latest possible moment, in order that the greater strength may bo gathered by such "independents" as they choose to honor with their suffrages. The Democratic Executive Committee The Democratic Executive Committee of this State held a meeting in Columbia last week. The Columbia J'hamix says: "The meeting was private, but we feel authorized in saying that it was determined to do nothing in reference to the State election. Arrangements will be per? fected shortly for putting a Grceley electoral ticket in the field." - ? i i -. The Georgia Election. The election which took place in Georgia on the 2nd inst. resulted in an overwhelming vic? tory for the Democrats and Liberals. Gov. Smith has been re-elected by upwards of 50,000 majority, and the Legislature is composed nearly altogether of Democrats. Every Con? gressional District has been carried by a hand? some majority, and the State has been thor? oughly aud completely redeemed from the possible grasp of the Radical party. Our no? ble sister across the Savannah has spoken in thunder-tones, which will reverberate through? out the country, and spread a pallor over the party of hate and oppression. Pen Picture of Franklin J. Moses, Jr. Much has been said and written concerning the official character and actions of Franklin J. Moses, jr., the candidate of the "regulars" for Governor of South Carolina. But the palm must be yielded to a correspondent of the Sum ter News, who draws a picture of Moses' venal? ity and corruption with the strongest hand, and rivals the immortal Junius in his bold denun? ciation of the peculations and frauds of this "native" South Carolinian. How any individ? ual, white or black, claiming to be decent and honest, can support Moses for Governor, is be? yond our comprehension. His record is before the people, and that record is blackened with the most shameless prostitution of his official positions to subserve private ends and personal gain, and yet there are persons ready to wink at his election on the ground of opposition to "carpet-baggers," even though the State is ruined thereby. We copy the main portion of the communication in the Sumter News, and would remind our readers that this comes from the home of Moses, where he was born and raised: As an humble citizen, and almost hopeless of the future, I have been opposed for years past to taking any part in contentions between par? ties in the State. But since the partial develop? ment of Moses' high-handed and wholesale depredations upon the public funds, I must con? fess I cannot calmly face the certain consequence of his election to the Governorship of the State, while circumstances afford a chance for his de? feat. Let Tomlinson be what he may. Let him be as bad as his worst political enemies would represent him, 3till I cannot believe that any oue age can produce more than one monster of such an insatiable maw, and such hell-born en? terprise in financial deviltry as this same Frank Moses. He had the bare-faced effrontery in a recent speech before a Charleston meeting, to use the following astonishing language, viz: "I can say with a clear conscience that the white and black people of my native County and town know that not one of these charges is true?I need no defence before them." The de? vil himself can't beat this for brazen-faced im? pudence. There is not a man, woman or school? boy, white or black, in the County of Sumter, who is not perfectly satlmed, that Frank Moses has robbed the public Treasury on a most gi fantic scale. Everybody in his native County nows that at the time he got into office in the Radical party, he was as poor as any of us. If it was possible that Frank Moses was an honest man, then he is emphatically the biggest fool on record for not showing the public how he comes in possession of such a vast amount of money. On a salary of $3,000, he feasts and revels with the reckless abandon of a spendthrift million i aire, and yet asks for proof for his dishonesty. He parades an ostentatious arrogance, the ex? quisite .perquisites of public plunder in open ' day, and flaunts in the very faces of the people, the shining trophies of his matchless skill in fraud, and cries, prove me a robber. This pea? cock vanity displays gratuitously, and absolute? ly forces upon the public view evidence abundant, J pointed and damning, and yet he has the infernal impudence to call tor proof. He stands to-day before the bar of public opinion as plainly stamped with criminality, as if public thief was branded on his forehead. As well might proof be demanded that the sun is shining while his meridian rays illumine a cloudless sky. Indeed, he seems to have exerted his utmost to show himself a central Colossus in a ring of thieves, and thereby establish his claim to the highest place of honor in the kingdom of Roguedom. And could the honest property-holder be safe from his clutches, we should say, by all means let him wear the crown without a rival, present or prospective.. If this party can carry such a dead weight of iniquity as this noted specimen of double-dis? tilled diabolism, and not sink under it, then surely it will prove the truth of the assertion so often made, that the more dishonest a man is, the more certain is he of success in its ranks. For never has any man in this country, not even Ohio Scott, been as bitterly cursed and de? spised in his public character. Assuredly the honest curses of the people will follow him to his grave and then embalm his memory in a most infernal immortality. For the Anderson Intelligencer. The Law in Relation to Wills. j Mb. Editor: It frequently occur in the Probate Court for Anderson County that Wills are presented for proof with only two subscri? bing witnesses. The law of this State requires three witnesses to a Will, who have to subscribe their names in the presence of each other and of the Testator, and if this is neglected, the Will becomes void and without effect. In the majority of cases where a Will is re? fused to be admitted to Probate, there is a great disappointment to the parties interested, as the division of an estate is sometimes more satis? factory to the legatees under the directions of the Will than uuder that of the law, and at the same time the costs for appointing an Admin 1 istrator are considerably higher than the costs for qualifying an Executor. I am well aware that you are always willing, Mr. Editor, to publish an article for the benefit of the community. . Therefore, I would ask that you will insert in the next issue of the Intelligencer the appended extract from the General Statutes of South Carolina, that your ? readers who are not acquainted with the re? quirements of the law respecting the form of a Will may be better posted, which will probably save trouble and disappointment hereafter to : some parties. Yours respectfully, A. 0. NORRIS, Judge of Probate. Extract from General Statutes of South Caro? lina, Chapter 87, Page 406. All wills and testaments of real and personal property shall be in writing, and signed by the party so devising the same, or by some other person in his presence, and by his express di? rections, and shall be attested and subscribed, in the presence of the said devisor, by three or more creditable witnesses, or else they shall be utterly void and of none effect. A Card. To the Voters of Anderson County : I see in the Intelligencer of last week my name announced by my friends as a candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives. I take this opportunity to withdraw my name, and return my thanks to my friends for the manifestations of their approval of my services in the Legislature for the last four years. J. "WILSON. For the Anderson Intelligencer. A Card. To the Voters of the Eighth Judicial Circuit: Thanking my kind friends who placed me in nomination for the office of Solicitor, I beg leave to withdraw my name as a candidate. Will other papers containing the announce? ment please copy. JOHN B. MOORE. Anderson, S. C, Oct. 3,1872. 1 For the Anderson Intelligencer. Fellow-Citizens of Anderson County : It is with much reluctance that I again intrude myself upon you in the columns of our excel? lent paper. But for the fact that I am un? known to at least two-thirds of the people of the County, I should deign no reply to a card appearing in last week's Intelligencer, reflecting upon my character as an upright citizen.? What I have written, I have written. No rea? sons have since occurred to induce any sub? stantial changes. The expression used, "those precedent facts," in a former article, was gener? al. An explanation of the voting in the Con? vention was made. The majority rule adopted by that Convention was cognizant to all in at? tendance ; the result of the vote in the town? ship certainly known to those most deeply in? terested, and the resolution of that meeting, offered by Maj. B. F. Whitner, it is fair to pre? sume, was also known. I am charged with the effort to secure my own nomination for the Legislature, because of a motion made by me to deliberate with closed doors, immediately upon the organization of the Convention. I am not responsible for, nor the originator of, this motion. Maj. Thomas Russell came to where I was sitting, and re? quested me to make such motion. I declined, and suggested that some one else put it. See? ing the Rev. W. E. Walters near, I proposed that he would probably make it. Maj. Russell replied that he had already asked him to do so. I at once went to Mr. Walters, and desired him to make the motion?he hesitated. Maj. Russell said to me, "You may be a candidate before this body, and I will not press you." I responded positively in the negative, and forth? with made the motion out of courtesy for Maj. Russell. For confirmation of this statement, I refer to the above named gentlemen. It is further urged to my prejudice that Maj John B. Moore and myself received the "first ballot" from the Centrcville delegation. Cor? rectly styled a ballot, fbr it was separately written and handed in as such, but not as a nomination on the original list. I wrote the name of Col. R. S. Hill, the highest candidate on our list. My associate delegates wrote the names of John B. Moore and W. D. Evins. I declined to have my name run, and with pen? cil in hand would have stricken it out, but was prevented and required to return the ballot as it was. I appeal to Maj. Thos. B. Lee, Messrs. Wm. Burris, Jolly Poole, and Wm. Riley to sustain these statements. I am held responsi? ble for the action of the entire delegation.? What is the inference ? That I could manipu? late these citizens of high standing and unim? peachable integrity in the community as I pleased?two of whom I had never spoken with and do not remember to have seen before I met them in Convention?with the other two the veriest passing acquaintance? How, then, stands the matter ? Either that my in? fluence and opinions are potent abroad (where? by I feel complimented) or that these gentle? men have no independence of character, and conspired with me to betray their fellow citi? zens. Such deductions are utterly absurd. Oue or two more words in reference to my seeking nomination. Was it in the primary Township meeting, in which I steadily and positively refused to allow my name used^ J when solicited so to do by several prominent citizens? But I was voted for nolens volens, which vote was not returned to the County Convention. If I have aspired to office, I have pursued the very opposite course that men gen? erally do to secure promotion. Since my resi? dence in the County, I have lived in great se? clusion ind comparative obscurity, ignoring the means and appliances to achieve populari? ty. I have neither by word, nor look or act, sought for political preferment No impartial citizen can be found who will assert the con? trary. I may, however, as a freeman, assert my right to a voice and a vote in the govern? ment. I confess to an aspiration that makes ambition virtue, and to a fame, let it be ever so circumscribed, that will be immortal. WM D. EVINS. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Mr. Editor : The return that I published of the Hope well Township election was taken from the original list, which was then, and still is, in my possession, and it in Mr. W. A. Neal's own handwriting. I did assist in counting the votes, and there? fore had as good a chance to know the result as Mr. Ncal; and when Mr. A. M. Neal handed me the list at the Court House on the day of the Convention, it had, and still has, the tallies on it. This I can prove by other gentlemen as reliable as Mr. Neal. Since the publication of Mr. Brown's second card, he has also seen the list Now, Mr. Editor, it is very evident that I have not written the lie; let Mr. Neal and Mr. Brown vindicate themselves. I have never called Mr. Brown a jackdaw, and if he means to insinuate that I am one, the cut is eo far? fetched that I cannot see the point. Inexpe? rienced workmen Bhould be careful how they handle edged tools. I do not desire to bo made a ruler of any kind, and if Mr. Brown will prove that he is faithful over a few things, perhaps he can get to be ruler over many things. His reply to me was written with so much self-complacen? cy, that I think he might have added? "Are not my care as loug as other Asses', pray ? Don't I exceed all other Asses at a bray?" Respectfully, M. B. WILLIAMS. ? Mr. Grecley has expressed the opinion that the Democratic and Liberal majority in New York will be at least one hundred thousand. He estimates that there are fifty thousand Lib? eral Republicans in New York. ? In the next North Carolina Legislature it appears that there will be 16 colored members ?i in the Senate and 12 in the House. This is a g^ain of one in the Senate and a loss of four in the House. ? The Manchester (Virginia) Cotton Mills Company have recently commenced the manu? facture of gunny bagging. An article call "jute" is put through a course of mechanism, aud after being picked, carded, dressed and spun is woven into an excellent article of bag? ging, which commands ready sale. ? Governor Scott has retained counsel in New York to institute at once legal proceedings against the New York Tribune, for an alleged slanderous and libellous article, said to have been published in the issue of that paper of' the 27th instant. The Governor states that he is determined to submit no longer to the cir- \ culation of libellous articles without giving the j opportunity in Court to prove the charges that j have been and arc being made against him in ! some of the public prints. I BY TELEGRAPH. Special to the Anderson Intelligencer. New York, Oct. 9th, 1872. The special dispatches received in this city indicate majority for Hartranft, Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, at 15,000 to 2?,000. The results were awaited in this city with great interest. In the evening, crowds assembled at political headquarters and hotels to hear the returns, and as dispatches came in, checra were given by adherents of opposing parties.. Fifth Avenue Hotel was thronged with politicians, who received tele? grams until a very late hour. The Tribune 3ays: "We have been cheated out of Pennsylvania; made great gains in Ohio, but not enough to carry the State, and have nothing discouraging from Indiana." Philadelphia, Oct. 9th. Congressional delegation for this State will embrace eighteen Republicans and nine Dem? ocrats. Washington, D. C, Oct.- 9th. The special dispatches are discouraging to the Liberals. Ohio has almost certainly and Indiana probably gone against them. The wires have been crowded with details bearing upon general results. Congressional gains and losses are general, and little attention has been given to the Congressional electionos. THE MARKETS* Anderson, Oct. 9, 1872.

CLARKE, Anderson, 8. O, Agent for the sale of the /Singer Sewing Ma? chines. My Dear Sir : Perhaps a few lines in refer? ence to our "affairs" in Charleston might not be uninteresting to you. I am just in receipt of two hundred Singer Sewing Machines, and have an invoice of two hundred more, making four hundred, and yet we are only in our in? fancy. We hope to do a large business in Sew? ing Machines after wo have become better known. The people used to know the Old Singer Machine, and that was popular; but af? ter they become more familiar with our "New Family" Machine, we shall doubtless seU more than other Companies together. During 1871 we sold 52,000 more Sewing Machines than any other Company. There is no telling \t hat we' will do in the year 1872, but the people will bo sure to speak for us. Trusting you wiU pardon my tresspassing upon your time, I remain yours, very truly, THE SINGER MANUFAC. CO. J. Clark Bkdexl, Agent. Dr. Tutt's SarsapariUa St Queen's Delight. No remedy possesses so many valuable Me? dicinal Properties as this combination of roots, herbs and barks. The Queen's Delight is ac? knowledged by physicians to be the most pow? erful remedy known for Impure Blood, Liver Complaints, Nervousness, Female Complaints, Constipation, Rheumatism, Diseases of the Kidnevs, Syphilitic Affections, Skin Diseases, Chronic Complaints, Ac. But in this prepara? tion it is combined with other vegetable pro? ducts, which renders its virtues doubly valua? ble. Most diseases have their origin in the blood, and as a Blood Purifier the SarsapariUa and Queen's Delight has no equal. It requires but a trial to convince the most sceptical. For Femalo Complaints, whether in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of woman? hood or at the turn of life, Dr. Tutt's Liver Pills are an acknowledged remedy. Dr. Tutt's Hair Dye is the Best in the World. We clip the following from the Troy (N. Y.) Whig: "Some threepnonths since Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., commenced advertising in the Whig, an articlo called "Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy." Wo believed at that time it was one of the* many catch-penny arrangements to swindle people out of their money, but during tne past few weeks have become convinced to the contrary. Wo know of several prominent citizens who have suffered from that loathe some disease, "Catarrh," and they pronounce Dr. Sago's Remedy no humbug, and in several instances have been entirely cured. Wo desire to give Dr. Pierce the benefit of the same. Beauty's Best Auxiliary?Ask the belle of the season what appointment of her toilet-table holds the highest place in her esteenij and she will reply, without a moment's reflection, Ha gan's Magnolia Balm.

By using it ladies arc enabled, long after they have passed the meridian of life, to preserve the youthful bloom and purity of their complexions^ and where Naturo has denied that superlative attraction, the Balm fully compen? sates for her deficiencies.
