THE COUNTY FAIR. ? Tho Thirteenth Annual Fair of the Anderson Farmers'and Mechanics' As? sociation will be held at the Fair Grounds in Anderson, beginning on Wednesday, the 20tb, and ending on Friday, the 22nd yday of October next. Mr. J. Willet Pre "vost enters this year upon his first term as President of tho Association, having been elected last summer to the position In the place of Hon. B. F. Crayton, who declined a re-election. We hope the same generous, and extensive support ?will be accorded the now management which has heretofore been extended, for we are satisfied that every effort will be made by the officers this year to render the Fair a great success. * Several additional features of interest have been added to tho exhibition, and the rata of admission has been reduced to twenty-five instead of fifty cents, so tbat all may attend. These agricultural fairs are very improving to the country, and desexve a very liberal patronage. Not only should our people attend and take their families, but they should, as far as possible, put some one or more articles on exhibition. As many of our planters as possible should show specimen's of their, various crops and of stock, our housekeepers should contribute to the 'exhibition in the household department, our young ladies should contribute to the ornamental and fancy department, and every industry should endeavor to have specimens of its work shown. The exhibition can only be made a success by united effort, and it will not cost any person much trouble to contribute to this effoit. Let us determine, then, to render this Fair the best we have ever had. If we will all exhibit as many ar? ticles as possible, and then be sure to at? tend and carry onr families on both days, as tho admission is so cheap, it will bo a credit to Anderson County and a bene? fit to all who are present. NEW YORK CITY "SOLID." The two factions of the Now York City Democracy are now as solidly one as any? thing could be. A rousing meeting was held in the city on last Thursday night, which, for genuino enthusiasm, sur? passes anyyet held in the Union. *A grand torchlight procession, several :niles in length, in which over 100,000 Democrats took part, halted at Tammany Hall, where several speeches were made !>y leading Democrats of tho Union. Dougherty, of Philadelphia, opened the ball, and was repeatedly cheered by the :hrong of people, who were packed like .lorrings. During his speech Bayard en ?jred, and was enthusiastically greeted, .he speech being interrupted for several minutes. After Dougherty, August Bel uont addressed the meeting, but was frequently intorrnptod by calls for Ba}-- J ard, who, when introduced, was received by a storm of applause which lasted lit? erally for five minutes. Bayard grew red and white, and could do nothing. He began his speech after three rousing cheers for him had ended the uproar. He reviewed briefly tho effects of the war, said that the young man of to-day knew not what our war was, and the old man ought to be sonsiblo enough to for? get and bury its ? bitterness. He ridi? culed Conkling's Southern war claim bogy and declared Hancock's determina? tion to stand by the Constitution. He proclaimed his own faith in the principles of tho Union, but also his respect for State Rights. The money fnat the South had collected so far in the way of South? ern claims had gone straight into North? ern pock&ts. Unlike Conkling, Bayard had something to say for the honesty and, uprightness of his candidate, Hancock's name eliciting another roar of applause. Bayard's speech was the great event of the campaign. The crowd could not be? gin to hear any one speaker, as it reached along the streets for several blocks, and to gratify the desire of the thousands upon thousands who desired to hear speaking, some eight or ten stands were erected at suitable distances apart, from which different speakers addressed the vast throng. Among the distinguished orators of the night were Senators Ran? dolph, Kernan and Hampton, Genorals Plaisted and Sickles, Ex-Gov. Tilden, Speaker Randall, Judge T. J. Mackey, of South Carolina, and many others. It is described by the New York papers as the grandest demonstration ever made in New Yorkr and ensures tho Empire State to the Democracy in November. The money bears are at work on Wall Street, where there seems to be a combi? nation of financiers to depress stocks and securities generally. Even government bonds have been falliug off in price du? ring the last ten days, and the Republi? cans claim that this is the result of the present indications of Democratic tri? umph in November. It is a stock panic gotten np by the Republicans to frighten the timid voters in Indiana, Ohio and Colorado at the approaching elections in those States. It is a cold-blooded stock gambling scheme of the money kings, and is bat a scheme to rob helpless per? sons who are compelled to sell their secu? rities, and at the same time to assist the Republican party, which is in auch a strait just now. Even this bug-bear will not frighten r.he country. It is too appa? rent The average voter knows full well that the success of the Democratic party does not endanger the proporty or finances of the country, and the party which spends its time in trying to fright? en the citizens of the Union with the horrors of Democratic triumph instead of promising something for itself, shows that it has outlived its nsefulness, and a considerate and careful people will allow it to die. Such reckless schemes show its utter degradation and turpitude so clear? ly that the simpleton himself may under? stand. The present Republican cam? paign is a crime against the intelligence, the peace and theprosperity of the Union. That crime must and will bo punished, we believe, by its complete overthrow in Novembor. From a Republican standpoint Gen. Hancock has shown himself to be a most ungenerous and selfish man. They only had one bag-bear to urge against him, and that was the question of paying the Confederate war debt and the Southern claims for property destroyed, including the fleeing of the negro. Upon all other questions Gen. Hancock's record was clear and unexceptionable, and even on that there was nothing against him, ex? cept the fact that he had not expressed himself as to these claims, which gave the Republicans the opportunity to charge him with favoring their payment. The payment of these debts has never been contemplated by the South, for our peo? ple know that having lost tho cause for which the war was fought, they need not expect that they will be paid their losses in that war, and in fact the expenses of conducting the war itself; but it would Burprise our people tCkuow how mach influejce tho charge that the South expects to make an at? tempt to secure tho payment of these debts is having in tho North and West. It has up to this time boeu the life of the Republican canvass, and tho letter of Gen. Hancock completely explodes it at a critical part of the campaign, and leaves the Republicans almost nothing to stand apon. The letter is plain, positive, une? quivocal, and cannot leave any doubt upon tho mind of any man who believes in the sincerity of Gen. Hancock. It is a judicious letter, and greatly strengthens the prospect of Democratic success. A correspondent of the New York Tri? bune says that in Columbiahosaw "white gentlemen (?) refuse to pay a negro for blacking their boots, treating the demand for compensation as a good joke; and when the negro remonstrated, he was told to get out or it would not be well for him." Another yarn is that "a few days since, near Greenville, a party of young wbite men passing along tho road-saw an old darkey in the field picking cotton. They hailed him. asking some questions. The negro looked at them solemnly, but said nothing, apparently not hearing them or not understanding them. They repeated their question several times, and then one of them, drawing his re? volver, shot the old man dead. A cor? oner's jury found it a case of justifiable homicide." Our peoplo ean soe from these mali? cious and silly falsehoods, which are published in one of the most respectable Republican papers, to what depth of vil lany and misrepresentation tho Republi? cans are willing to descend for political ends. It is, however, not to be wondered that tho paper which would send secret correspondents to public meetings will stoop to this mean and contemptible sort of journalism, By tho way, this article may have emanated from tho pen of this very detective correspondent. A man .who has no more self-respect than to travel through the country attending public meetings, where other reporters go as gentlemen, while he represents the sneak, would not, in our opinion, hesi? tate to either misrepresent or lie outright. Whoever wrote tho above aiticlo did tho latter. _ _ At the cloie of the war, when Horace Greeley went on Jeff. Davis' bail bond to release the Confederate President from prison, the war feeling ran high, and pas? sion and hate were uppermost in the minds of hundreds of thousands of the American people, the Union League Club, of which Greeley was a member, served him with a notice that he was in danger of being dis? ciplined for his act of humanity, and he replied to their threats in the following grand language: "Your attempt to base a great, enduring party on the hate and wrath necessarily engendered by a bloody civil war, is as though you should plant a colony on an iceberg which bad somehow drifted into a tropical ocean." This is ex? actly what the Republican party did. They founded their party on hate and perpetual sectional strife, and year by year the genial influences of peace have been melting away its foundation until now, fifteen years after the last gun of the great war was fired, that iceberg of which Greeley wrote has been well nigh melted away, and the once proud and powerful party, which has built its existence upon it, is destined upon the second of November to be launched into the boundless ocean of chaos, never to re? turn to power or trust to plague the Ameri? can citizen by *its corruption and usurpa? tion. In its death the Union will find peace, and the principles of our govern? ment will again bless a free people. The New York Herald sometimes gets into a fair mood anil then delivers its Republican friends some very pointed lessons, which they would do well to learn. In one of these mood? the Herald recently said: No party coming into power is going to destroy itself by measures injurious to the credit or honor of the nation. That is rather to bo expected of a party de? moralized by too long possession of power and ready to bid too high or stoop too low for continued support. The Dem? ocrats, if they should elect Gen. Han? cock, would make it their first aim by careful good behavior to conciliate the confidence of the public, in order that their predominance should not be short? lived. They would be conscious that even a moderate amount of misconduct would send them back into a very hope? less minority. These very practical reasons why the Democratic party will not pursue any revolutionary policy to the injury of the established institutions of property or government, should convince every sen? sible man that there is no dangor to the country in Democratic triumph. It would, of course, be more careful, economical and conciliatory than the Ee publican party, which has grown profli? gate and corrupt by too long use of power. At least, appearances indicate that the people of the Union ore becom? ing satisfied of this fact, and that they will risk the change in November. Gen. Grant was elected President of the San Pedro Mining Company several weeks ago, and it was announced that he had accepted the presidency, immediate? ly upon which there was a boom in its stock, and great expectations were cre? ated as to its importance and prospocts. After allowing this state of things to con? tinue for a considerable time, the Genoral quietly wrote a letter declining the posi? tion of President of the Company, and its bottom immediately dropped out. The price of its stocks shot downward faster than it had gone np, and many un? suspecting victims found it an easy de? vice by which to rid themselves of their surplus greenbacks. The matter, how? ever, has created considerable comment, and, in self-defense, Mr. George William Ballou, tho promoter of the enterprise, showed Grant's letter of acceptance to the editors of the Boston Herald, so that there can be no reasonable doubt of the fact, unless Mr. Ballou's letter is a forgery. This puts Gen. Grant in a very unenviable light. After attaining the highest honors that could be given him by his country, and endeavoring to se? cure the Presidency a third time, he has actually, if Mr. Ballou's showing is cor? rect, stooped to the degraded position of a tool for unprincipled stock jobbing" sharks. The Republicans are so hard pressed in Indiana that they are forced to make every edge cut that can, and therefore they contemplate trying to arouse the military feeling in their behalf by hav? ing a meeting of the veterans in Indian? apolis a few days before the election. The following order has been issued in their behalf: ."Headquarters Union Veterans' Na? tional Committee, New York City, Sep? tember 25?General Order No. 16.?Tue Union Veteran Soldiers and Sailors of tho United States will meet in Conven? tion at Indianapolis, Ind., on Thursday, the 7th day of October, 1880. "U. S. Grant, "Commander-in-Chief. "Official: Drake DeKay, Adjutant General." It may turn out that this Order will not help their cause any more than Grants' celebrated order to tho "Boys in Blue," requiring them to organize for the support of Garfield and Arthur. They did not organize any to hurt, and when tho meeting in Indianapolis is held wo apprehond that tbo veteran soldiers will not take much stock in any opposi? tion to Gen. Hancock. On next Tuesday week, the 12th of Oc? tober, the great States of Ohio, Indiana aud West Virginia vote for State officers. West Virginia will go largely Demo? cratic, and tho rosults in the other States are uncertain, with the chances favoring the Republicans in Ohio, which is the residence of Mr. Garfield and where State pride is expected to and probably will carry him through. In Indiana both parties are badly scared, and the olootion will not bo a great surpriso either way the State goes. If the Democrats carry Indiana it settles beyond a reasonable doubt tho presidential race, and Han? cock will occupy the White House after the fourth of next March. If, bow ever the Republicans are successful there it unsettles tho prospects very much. If we lose Indiana we will have to got Connecticut and New Jersoy or fifteen votes from some Northern States outside of New York. It would not then be a hopeless raco for us, but would, we must confess, be uncomfortably close. Colorado votes on next Tuesday, and whilo it is expected that the State will go for tho Republicans, still the surprise in Maine render? the rosult just enough doubtful to mako both sides anxious to hear tho nows. In Octobor, 1876, Colo? rado gave Routt, Republican, for Gov? ernor, 14,154 votes, and Hughes, Dcmo orat, 13,316. In 1878, tho last State elec? tion, it gave Pitkin, Republican, 14,390; Lovcland, Democrat, 11,873; Bucking? ham, Greenbacker, 2,784. It is, there? fore, likely to go Republican again at this election. If, however, it should go Dem? ocratic, tho result would completely knock tho bottom out of tho Republican Presidential canvass. Georgia elects her State officers on next Wednesday, and, though no Republican ticket is in the field, a very excited and bitter contest has been waged between the two portions of tbo Democratic party, headed respectively by Gov. Colquitt and ox-Senator Norwood, the ri%-al can? didates for Governor. The contest has been fierce, malignant and thorough, but we predict that Colquitt will bo hand? somely elected Governor, and that a Leg? islature will bo selected that will return ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown to the United States Senate. The people of Georgia have too much judgment to do otherwise. Gen. Plaisted has been conceded to be elected Govornor of Mai no by about four hundred majority over Davis, tho Re? publican candidate. Thus the Pino Tree State has passed from tho control of the Plumed Knight, and is no longer under the thraldom of Republicanism. If tho Democrats gain as much in other quar? ters as there, tho Garfield prospects are decidedly blue. Tbo New York Tribune claims the re? sult in Maine as a Republican victory. If it is we hope thoy will achiovo just thirty-eight victories of that sort in No? vember, for if they do it will be impos? sible to prove by tho doctoral college that Garfield was ever a candidate for President. Mr. Conkliug says that the South does not pay as much tax to tho general Gov? ernment as the New England States, and in this assertion, shows his gross igno? rance. The South has very few import? ing cities, and buys her merchandise principally in the North. Wc pay tho custom charges on all the foreign goods, groceries, &c, that wo consume, and the internal revenue on tho whiskey and to? bacco, so that taking these things into consideration we pay ten fold the taxes that New Englaud does. Tho nominees of tho Democratic party of Anderson County aro now in tho field. Tho party has spoken. Henceforth in? dividual preferences should be forgotten, and all should work together for tho common end?that is, to secure the elec? tion of eyory man on tho whole ticket by the largest possible majority. There should bo no lukewarmness, and espe? cially there should bo no scratching. Vote the ticket straight, from Governor dowu to Coroner. Business all ever the country has been better this fall than in any yoar since 1873, and an era of genuine prosperity seems to have domed upon our whole country. Even tho effort of the Repub? licans to unsettle business for partisan purposes has utterly failed and tho lead? ing merchants of both parties agree in testifying that their trade is larger this season than for many years, and that all of the indications show a decided busi? ness gain for the country. The Republicans of South Caro? lina will give us a surprise in November if we do not keep up our interest in poli? tics to the day of election. They are playing the most dangeious game possi? ble to us. "While appearing to make no State fight they are thoroughly though se? cretly organizing, and if there is any possible chance they will run their ticket ntthe last minute after their apparent apathy has disarmed us. The Union League Club of Philadel? phia was so confident of a Republican victory in Maine that they had a magnifi? cent chandelier made to order for the re? ception they intended holding tho night after that election. It was so arranged that the gas jets spelled the words, "Maine?Victory." After the election the reception was indefinitely postponed, and the beautiful chandelier remained unlighted. The Courier-Journal says the Republi? cans claim the right to steal all the votes they cannot buy. This is what they have done heretofore, and yet they go shout? ing "stop thief" in order to convince the country that they are honest men. It is claimed in New York tbat there are ten thousand Rspublicans in Han? cock Clubs in tbat State alone. It looks a little like New York will prove as sol? idly Democratic as any Southern State. Hancock Defines His Position on Southern Claims. New York, September 24. General Hancock, responding to Theo? dore Cook, of Cincinnati, who had writ? ten to him concerning the General's at? titude on the question of Southern claims, replies as follows, under date of the 23d: Your letter of the 20th inst. has been received. 1 regret that you are disturbed about that bug-bear, Southern war claims. The people can not be misled by it to suppose that "rebel claims" or claims in the interest of persons who were in the rebellion can in any degree be countenanced. It is an imputation of disloyalty such as used to be made against Democrats even when they were in arms defending the country. So far as it touches me, I denounce it. The government can never pay a debt or grant a pension or reward of any sort for waging war upon its existence, nor could I be induced to approve or encour? age the payment of such a debt, pension or reward. Nobody expects or want3 such unnatural action. To propose it would be an insult to the intelligence and honor of our people. When the re? bellion was crushed the heresy of seces? sion in every form and in every incident went down forever. It is a thing of the dead past. We move forward, not back? ward. If I were President I would veto all legislation which might come before me providing for the consideration or payment of claims of any kind for losses or damages by persons who were in the rebellion, whether pardoned or not. In relation to Union war claims tho govern? ment's obligations to its defenders come first. They are lasting and sacred. The public laws of civilized nations do not in general rocognize claims for injury to proporty resulting from operations of war, nevertheless our government has treated with great indulgence tho claims for losses and damages suffered by Un? ion men from the military operation of the war of tho Union. But as hostilities wore closed more than fifteen years ago, claims of that nature aro now mostly in the hands of brokers, or persons other than the original sufferers, are becoming stale, and, in my judgment, might fairly bo considered as barred by tho lapse of | time, and if hereafter entertained at all, should be subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Yours very truly, Winfield S. Hancock. Gnrfleld Gives up Virginia. The Richmond correspondent of the Petersburg Index-Appeal says: Mr. John S. Wise is quoted us having stated in a speech made at Boiling Green, Caroline County, that he had seen an autograph letter written by Garfield in which he said that he was not a candi? date in Virginia. A prominent Read jus ter stated to me this morning that Mr. Wise made a similar statement at Trovillian's depot, Louisa County, a few days ago, and repeated tho substance of the same in a private conversation with somo gentlemen at the depot. This let? ter Mr. Wise said, he had seen three hours before he left Richmond for Louisa. It was probably wiitten to a Republican P.eadjustor in this vicinage. ?- ? . Horrible Death on the Rail.? About 4 p. m. on Monday, the westward train of the Air-Line Railway while rounding a curve of 9 degrees, two miles west of Spartanburg struck a man lying on the track. The train after dragging tho body some thirty or forty yards was checked!, a brakesman left in charge of the dead body, and tho authorities promptly notified on tho arrival of tho train at our depot. Death was instanta? neous, for tho body was horr b j crushed and mutilated, limbs severed aud all dis? figured almost beyond recognition. Tho remains were at last identified as those of Willio Abbot, a young man, and nutivo of this placo. He left homo yesterday morning, telling his father and family that ho was going to the meeting at Can? non's camp ground. Parties returning in the afternoon from this meoting, mot him near the placo of his doath, evidently and heavily under the influence of li ?[Uor. It is thought while in this Mat he ell on tho truck and lay there insensi? bly until struck by tho train. Young Abbot was twenty years of ago, a printer by trade, kind hearted and of unusual good nature. No blame is attached to the engineer?tho skillful and caroful Parson Trower. With a train behind time speeding at the rato of 40 or 50 miles, and a sharp curvo limiting the prospect, it was impossible to slack up in time to avoid the tragedy. The Coroner's jury returned tho ver? dict: "Came to his death from being ac? cidentally run over by the train." ? A significant evidence of tho rapidly ?increasing prosperity of tho country is found in the growth of the railroad trafic. All the important lines appear to be do? ing an enormously increased business at remuneiative ra^s. Tho Pennsylvania Railroad, for oxamplo, reports that its net earnings east of Pittsburg and Erie for the eight mouths of 1830 show an in? crease of $2,848,926. Tho gain of the Wes? tern lines for tho same period is set down at ovor $2,000,000, SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS Gleanings from our State Excliangos.

Edgeneld : At tho meeting of the Ex? ecutive Committee of tho Cotton Plant? ers' Protective Union, on Saturday last, two or three more townships were added to tho membership. But from all we can hear, says tho Advertiser, this Union, thus far, has exercised no restraining influ? ence upon what is called illegal cotton traffic. On tho contrary it seems to have had the effect of adding fuel to fire. The merchants of Ninety-Six are build? ing a free bridge, to cost ?2,000. to span theSaluda Bivcr about four miles from their town. Pickens: Stephen Grocn a young man twenty-one or two years of age, acciden? tally shot and killed himself on last Sat? urday evening. He was at tho house of Mr. Lockaby who lives on the plantation of Mr. It. A." Bowen, three miles cast of this placo, and in company with Mr. Lockaby had started hunting. They stopped, and were sitting on a leuco near the house. Mr. Greon had the butt of his gun, an old Enfield ritie, resting on a fence rail beneath him, lie asked Mr. Lockaby for some caps, and when Lock? aby handed them to him, in taking them, he let his gun slip off the rail, tho ham? mer struck another rail in descending, which caused it to fire, sending the en? tire load through his neck, severing tho jugular vein. He died instantly. Senator Hill Exonerated. Washington, September 27.?The case of Jessie Raymond against Senator B. H.
