The Union-Herald announces that the evi? dence of frauds, so bold and flagrant as to secure their own defeat, continue to accumu? late from Anderson and other Democratic counties in the State. We also have infor? mation that the rejection of the vote of this County by the State Canvassers was talked of. We wish to know where these frauds were'enacted, and in what they consisted? Senator Cochran is the only Republican from this County in Columbia, as far as we have been able to learn, and we therefore call on him to make known who it is that has attacked the fairness of this County ? If he is not one of the persons making com? plaint, it is his duty to clear his skirts of the blame by exposing the sneaking, false ras? cals who charge our people with improper conduct in the election. It will not do for him to pretend ignorance on this subject. He cannot run with the hare and yelp with the hounds in this matter. We want to know the names of the execrable scamps who have thus slandered our people, and Mr. Cochran must make their names public or be classed with them as one of the enemies of Anderson County. This is a practical is? sue, and our people are unwilling to have it dodged. The sneaks who go to Columbia and try to overthrow the will of our people, deserve the severest condemnation, and our people will hold any man tainted with sus? picion, who does not clear himself by posi? tive proof, as one of the members of the foul conspiracy against their sovereign will. (LABOR CONTRACT. Otp^SopleKare discussing with much in? terest trie subjec^of giving employment to any person who voted the Republican ticket in the late election, and we take this occa? sion to urge the various clubs and the indi? viduals of our County to await the action of the County Executive Committee, which is to n-?et on- to-morrow, Friday, morning. We have no hesitation in saying that if the Republicans bad carried the State every man in South Carolina ought to have refused to countenance or employ any Republican, not because we have any hard feeling towards any colored man who voted ignorantly for the public thieves, but because it would have been the only means left us to defeat the corrupt crew of Radical leaders. We do not hesitate to advance and advocate the doctrine that a citizen has a right to refuse employment to any man that belongs to an opposite political party. The only question is, does the exigency demand such a course? Extreme measures should never be used ex? cept to counteract extreme evils, and if those evils have been corrected without such measures they should not be resorted to. This general proposition is true in politics, and our people should calmly consider the question. We are the victors, and it be? comes us to exercise as much magnanimity to the vanquished as possible. It is noble to forget and forgive wrongs?it is particularly sublime to do so in the moment of triumph and power. Every effort should now be di? rected to rebuilding the shattered material prosperity of South Carolina, and to ac? complish this there should be a complete reconciliation between capital and labor. What we most need, nay what we must haye, is peace, and quiet throughout the State, and the Democratic party is pledged to bring it about. Let this subject of con? tracts be decided as it may be, we urge that the colored men who voted with us shall have ample recognition for their noble con? duct in helping to rescue the State from ty? rants and rogues. They should always have the preference of land or position. Their wages should be the highest that are paid, and .they should be assisted in every way that is reasonable and proper. They must not be.forgotten in our victory, for it is part? ly Again, we ask the people of An? derson,County who have proven so nobly in partydiscipline and self-sacrificing patriot? ism, to .await the action . of the Executive dxjjcn?itt^an? we"have no doubt sach ac ?ojf will be taken as to secure harmony and ssH^cticnrthroughout the County, and in ansonsistent manner advance the prosperity oT?wC?untjrian^ jjssist'in the glorious re deruption which is at hand.

They had a large number of wild ani- j inals on exhibition, and received a very large I attendance. The Circus was as good as such exhibitions generally, and did not have as much of,the pick pocket accompanyment as is usual. The political excitement is so great that the Circus made very little im? pression. Thaiironp showed at Pendleton Wednesday. This is the week of prayer appointed by the Y. M. C.

There was a great deal of drinking in An? derson on last Tuesday, owing to the fact that an immense crowd had gathered to at? tend the Circus. Fortunately there was no difficulty as the town was well policed. We arc requested to give notice to those persons who were awarded premiums at the late County Fair that the articles have arrived, and those entitled to receive them j Trill please call at the store of Crayton & Sons and get them.

We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Nancy Webb, which occurred at the resi? dence of her husband, Mr. James Webb, on Wednesday morning at 6 o'clock, from pneumonia. Her remains will be interred at Sandy Springs burial ground to-day. She leaves many relatives and friends who mourn her death. Dr. A. Walker, an old and highly respec? table citizen of the Dark Corner Township of this County, died at his residence on last Friday afternoon, at the advanced age of sixty-six years. He was in usual health until Thursday afternoon, when he received a pevere paralytic stroke, which terminated his life on the following day. His death is mourned by many relatives and friends. The community of Anderson are under obligations to Mr. Cashine, the telegraph operator at this place, for the faithful and accommodating manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office for the past two weeks, frequently remaining up as late as twelve, and even two o'clock, to fur? nish the latest political news, by enabling persons to get telegrams through. We acknowledge the services he has rendered the Intelligencer, and return our thanks for the same. The engine on the Anderson branch of the of the G. & C. R. R. now flies a Hampton flag as it makes its accustomed trips over the road, and is adorned by a large and beauti? ful wreath on each side, one bearing the in? scription "Hampton," and the other "Til den," in honor of the two greatest reformers of our generation, who have purged and re? generated our State and nation from a gov? ernment of thieves. Senator Cochran professed to support Aiken, Conner and Leaphart upon the Dem? ocratic ticket, and Chamberlain and others upon the Republican ticket. The result is that Conner and Leaphart ran over fifty and Aiken over one hundred votes behind Hampton. If Mr. Cochran supported these men he has shown clearly that his influence is a minus one. There is no doubt he can control the colored vote of the County when? ever he wishes, but he never helps a Demo? crat even if he does promise to support him. Our people cannot be fooled by any more professions from him like those he made two years ago about Greene aud McGowan. His trick has been discovered, and it is use? less for him to try to repeat it in this Coun? ty. -Ourpeople understand his little ruse, and he cannot again deceive them by it. Capt. Nathan McAlister, who announced a few weeks ago his intention to support Hampton for Governor, has shown recently that his professions were deceitful, and that if he voted for Hampton his influence was exerted to secure his defeat. Mr. McAlister was a manager of the election at Long's Shop, and failed to sign the election returns from that precinct. The blanks were sent to him for his signature on Thursday night, and he refused to sign the returns. He need not give himself any further trouble about it, however, as the two other managers signed, and it is thereby validated. Capt. McAlister ought to be prosecuted for neg? lect of official duty, as the law requires the managers to sign the returns. As he did not object to the votes when counted, he could not refuse to sign the returns. A CARD. Messes. Editobs: Caleb Lovingood, Wm. H. Brockman and George Williams, colored men, on my detail worked faithfully for our ticket on election day. Democrats remem? ber them. JOSEPH N. BROWN. What Hayes Says. ? Cincinnati, Nov. 8. The following interview with Governor Hayes was published this afternoon. In reply to questions the Governor said: "I think we are defeated, spite of recent good news. I am of opinion that the Demo? crats have carried the country and elected Tilden, as it now seems necessary for the Republicans to carry all the States now set down as doubtful to secure even a majority of one. I don't think encour? aging despatches ought to be given to the public now, because they might mislead enthusiastic friends to bet on the election and lose their money. 1 do heartily deprecate such despatches." After pleasantly rallying his friends and urging them not to be despondent, he said: "I do not think it right to joke over this matter. I don't care for my? self. The party, yes, as the country, too, can stand it; but I care for the poor col? ored men of the South. I don't fear that business will be greatly disturbed by Mr. Tilden's election. Trade governs itself. Capitalists may just at present say, we won't lend money, but it will be only a nine days' wonder, which will wear away as sbbn as they recover from the chagrin of defeat: Business will, I think, goon as usual. I do not think parties respon? sible for the financial depression. We see the troubles they have had in Ger? many and Australia. If any part of the country suffers or remains at a standstill it will be the South. Under the new regime Northern men can't live there and will leave, and immigration into the States will cease; but, as I said before, I do pity the poor black men of the South. The result will be that the Southern peo? ple will practically treat the Constitution? al amendments as nullities, and then the colored man's fate will be worse than when he was in slavery with a humane master to look after his interests. That is the only reason I regret that the news is as1 it is/' Governor Tilden's Movements. Governor Tilden spent the forenoon of yesterday at his house on Gramercy square. He received few visitors, because he was tired, and when he got through with lunch he took a turn around to the Democratic headquarters at the Everett House. It was there the Herald reporter met the Governor in the midst of an eager gathering of Democratic notabili? ties. "They have given me," said the Governor, "a pretty Targe popular major? ity, something over a quarter of a mil? lion." Governor Tilden was dressed in a suit of dark clothes and wore a silk hat. He never seemed to the writer in finer health and spirits. Much conversation was go? ing on around the room. "I'll tell you what I think," said Major J. Haggerty to Judge Morris, of Brook? lyn : "There is one man in the United States Senate belonging to the Republi? can party who will not consent to this outrage of counting in Louisiana, and that man is Senator Conkling. He stands," exclaimed the Major, eloquent with the subject, "on the mountain tops, above the mists and fogs of party, and ne views the situation from a patriot's stand? point." Judge Morris said, "We will submit to a great deal but if the Republicans mean to count us out by fraud I don't think we can stand it." Judge Morris was counsel for Moulton and Tilton in the Beecher trial. the governor's view. "Well," said Governor Tilden, speak? ing to the Herald man, "the fiery zealots of the Republican party may attempt to count me out, but I don't think the bet? ter class of Republicans will permit it. It would be a bad precedent to set." j Colonel Peltou the Governor's nephew, was busy receiving visitors. Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, came in and said, "South Carolina has gone Demo? cratic, but (this with a bitter frown) they wi.'l count us out if they can." Mr. Al? gernon Sullivan strode in also, and asked for the news from Colonel Pelton. The Colonel had nothing more to give than what the Telegram brought up, but Mr. Sullivan said he thought the Returning Board in New Orleans was bent on fraud. Governor Tilden kept his seat in front of the Everett House, outside of which a great crowd of people had collected star? ing wildly into the hotel. "It is strange," said the Governor, "how I get misrepresented. I come across in? terviews supposed to take place with me that really never occurred. There, for instance, is one this morning in which I am made to say that I believe that that paper (mentioninga certain journal) is the greatest paper in America, and that my election is attributable to it. That inter? view never took place." Governor Tilden said, resuming the con? versation, in earnest accents, "I do not [ think, considering that I have received such a considerable popular majority I vote, that the Republican party will at [ tempt to perpetrate fraud." Smith Weed, of Clinton, said: "It is very close, but we have carried the Union honestly, and that is the whole thing in a nutshell?we have carried it honestly." Mr. August Belmont, Mr. Edward Cooper, son of Mr. Peter Cooper, and General George B. McClellan dropped in and departed after a few minutes' stay. goy. tilden again. "I am not apprehensive of the result," continued Governor Tilden in his talk with the Herald reporter. "The popular majority must have its effect in the way of counteracting any attempt at upsetting the honest results of the election. Be satisfied with the reflection that the peo pie are too patriotic, too intelligent, too I self-poised to allow anything perilous to be done?anything that may disturb or destroy our peculiar form of government. Don't be alarmed." Later on the Herald reporter called at the Governor's residence in Gramercy Park. There was no crowd in front of the dwelling as on the night of the elec? tion and the one subsequent thereto. The Governor sat in the Dack parlor, and Clarkson N. Potter, Abram S. Hewett and other prominent and active men in j the Democratic ranks called upon him. He was in excellent spirits and confident that the upshot would make the Demo? cratic party victorious. The night previous the Governor was up till midnight. Then went to bed, and "I slept like a top," said he. His appearance indicated that, unlike the rest of the politicians who had called to see him, his mind was easy. "To-night," ; said he, "I shall retire at twelve, and no returns shall come between me and sleep," and as he spoke these words he smiled.?Herald of Nov. 11. i Washington, Nov. 10. The surrender of 400 lodges of hostiles belonging to the Missouri River agencies to General Miles is confirmed. Sitting J Bull, with thirty lodges, escaped. General Sherman last night received telegrams from the Secretary of War, who is in Philadelphia, to order General Ruger to send as many companies of troops to Tallahassee, Fla., as could be spared, and to go himself in person, j General Ruger answered that he had or? dered nine companies, would order five more, and would go in person, as ordered. General Sherman to-day received the following despatches from the President: | Philadedphia, Nov. 10. To General W. T. Sherman, Washington, D. 0. : Instruct General Auger, in Louisiana, and General Ruger, in Florida, to be vigilant with the force at their command to preserve peace and good order, and to see that the proper and legal boards of canvassers are unmolested in the per? formance of their duties. Should there be any grounds of suspicion of fraudu? lent count on either side, it should be re? ported and denounced at once. No man worthy of the office of President should be willing to hold it if counted in or placed there by fraud. Either party can afford to be disappointed in the result. The country cannot afford to have the result tainted by the suspicion of illegal or false returns. (Signed) U. S. Grant. Philadelphia, Nov. 10. General Sheridan, Washington : Send all the troops to General Auger he may deem necessary to insure entire quiet and a peaceable count of the ballots actually cast. They may be taken from South Carolina, uuless there is reason to suspect an outbreak there. The presence of citizens from other States, I under? stand, is requested in Louisiana to see that the Board of Canvassers make a fair count of the vote actually cast. It is to be hoped thai; representatives and fair men of both parties will go. (Signed) U. S. Grant. New York, November 10. The following dispatch has been sent to Governors Ingersoll, Hubbard, Robin? son, Bedle, Curtain, Palmer, McCreery, Carroll and others; also Senators Thur man, Bayard, Randolph, McDonald, Kernan and other Senators, and to lead? ing public men in the Northern States, Republicans and Democrats: The citizens of New Orleans urgently request that a delegation of prominent gentlemen come there at once to counsel peace and a fair and honest return. You are earnestly required to be one of ten or fifteen gentlemen, all widely known, to meet at Louisville, Gait House, Saturday eveniug, proceeding directly South; or if more convenient meet at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, on Monday morn? ing. Your prompt acceptance by tele? graph is .requested. This emergency ap? peals to your patriotism. Abram S. Hewitt, Chairman. ?

Grant's Order Criticised. Cincinnati, Nov. 10. The evening edition of the Cincinnati. Enquirer contains the following editorial article on the President's order: It is the crowning act of the Presiden? tial usurpation. It is a confession that even with the lawless aid of the army, the Republican party has beeu unable to carry the election, and now the entire military forces of the United States, headed by their General, are directed by the President to march upon the South? ern States they have lost, to take posses? sion of the ballot boxes and count the vote. This high-handed outrage is an admission that the States of Louisiana and Florida are lost to the Republican party, and an advertisement is issued that the bayonet shall not only cast but count the vote. This action is not only highly inflammatory but revolutionary. The American people love fair play. If these States are counted out forcibly by Re? turning Boards backed by the army, there is commotion ahead. South Carolina.?In spite of troops and arrests, South Carolina seems to have chosen Hampton. We congratulate the people of the State, and particularly the colored voters. They have shown good sense, and they will now have peace and order, low taxes and good will. So far as we hear at the hour of going to press, the election has been entirely peaceful, and on this important result we also congratu? late the people of the State of both colors. General Hampton has solemnly promised, on every stump in the State, that, if elected Governor, he would make the colored people secure in all their rights. He cannot afford to do less, and he has power and influence enough to enable him to keep his promise. We hope that a new era of prosperity begins in South Carolina with this election.?New York Herald. WAGONS FOR SALE.

With this object in view, we have ever exerted ourselves to the utmost to leave nothing undone which might, in any possible way, conduce to the benefit of the Public, or an increase of our Business. We not advertise for the sake of seeing our names in print, nor do we do so in order to puff and blow, but simply to direct your attention to our Store, and our mode of doing business. Adhering strictly to the LOWEST PRICE PLAN, It must be to everybody's interest to trade with us! POLITE AND ATTENTIVE CLERKS Being one great secret of success in business, we have endeavored, to the very best of our ability, to procure none but such gentlemen, too well known to necessitate our assuring those who favor us with their patronage, that they will re? ceive only such treatment in our Store as they have a right to expect. The fact that we are "LEADERS OIF1 LOW PRICES," Is too well established to require any reiteration from us, and we would assure our friends and the public generally, that we are not only bound to maintain that position, but shall always do our very best to deserve that appellation as justly in in the future as in the past. We intended to publish herewith a new "Price List," (lower prices than ever before,) but we can hardly do so, in view of the now ever fluctuating market, (caused by the low price of COTTON, and Hard Times generally,) WITH WHICH WE ARE DETERMINED TO KEEP UP.
