Quinton ^?teUignitet. E. Ti. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1884. TBHM8 t ONE YEAR.._."?l.fiO. SIX MONTHS. 78c. Two Dollar? If not paid In advance. The grading of thc Greenville ALau rena Railroad wai begun at Greenville on last Tuesday, president Mauldi'i throw? ing the first shovel of dirt, and Col. S. 8. Crittenden delivering an appropriate addrcf.?. Thc pcoplo of ( treen vii lo are fortunato In having Dr. Mauldin at tho head of their new enterprise, for his en ergy and good practical judgment render his road an assured fact. The people of Florida want protection for oranges, bananas, lemons, Ac. If we will look into the matter closely it will be seen that nearly all the States want as near freetrado as possible, except on those articles which they produce for sale, and ns to those articles they want protection as high as they can get it. This condi tion of affairs ia the cause of the tariff complications. The people of Anderson County are certainly a very amiable and patient people, or they would never submit to the wretched condition in which many of our leading public roads aro kopt. If Ibero were a gradual improvement men might live in the hope that tho day would come when one neighbor could viait an other without tho inconvenience of drag ging through mud up to the bubs of bis buggy wheels. Rut there is no disguising the fact that tho condition of our roads aro growing worso instead of better, each yenr, and this must continue uutil more efficient work is done upon them. The Htrain upon stock, tho damage to vehicles, and the losa of lime in hauling tho fourth, or ut best, the half of a load iu consequence of the had roads is an enor mous loss to our County. We do not be lievo that fifty thousand dollars a year would cover tho actual loss by tho peo ple of this County from bad roads. Something should bo done to secure the improvement of our roads. Tho first thing necessary is for tho pcoplo to do eulo that, thero must, bo an improvement, and thru elect County Commissioners who will enforco an efficient road duty, and members of tho legislature who will enact such additional laws to regulate the working of tho roads. Tho improve ment of our roads should bc made a lead ing issue in tho election of County Com missioners and members of the legisla ture this Fall. The people have tho solu tion of tho difficulty in their own hands, and whenever they unite in the demand for improvement they can certainly se euro it by tho election of proper officers. Tho petitions for tho elections upon tho subject of subscribing to the capital stock of the Savannah Valley railroad in tho Townships in Abbeville- County have bcon presented, and the elections ordered in that County to come off about tho twelfth of March. Thero is very little doubt '.bat thoso townships will vote a tax cf twenty thousand dollars, and the work upon this important under taking will bo resumed at an early day. Tho petitions in this County are progres sing satisfactorily, and it is expected to have tho election ordered soon. Somoof our people havo been a little slow about signing the petitions, but as they under? 3land the matter better, tho proposition for an additional subscription meets with great approbation. The additional amount asked for is a mere trifle com pared lo the great benefits to be derived from this road. Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens and other Counties have sub scribed to building new roads, and are to-day reaping the advantages of their public spirited enterprise. Our people ought to evince as much progress as our neighbors. We have the means of building up Anderson and the whole lower portion of the County by expend ing a small amount of money. The city of Anderson has already paid in twelve thousand dollars. She has subscribed twenty-five thousand, and wiii subscribe ten thousand additional. We only ask coven townships lo raise together fifteen thousand dollars, to be paid one-half this year aud one-half next year. AU of the townships from which contributions ara asked will receive the benefit of the competition which will be established in freight transportation, and it is no ex aggeration tc say that the completion of the Savannah Valley railroad will save the pcoplo of the these townships a lar ger amount every year than they are now asked to subscribe. It will pay hand somely to mako this investment Cotton Spinning Ia the South. The Alla California says that "tho rate of increase in Ihe cotton mills of the South seem to Indicate that, at no remote period, che may spin the greater portion of the cotton raised within her borders and bupply the markets of the world with ready-made goods instead of with raw cotton. Her fine climate, unlimited water power and> possession of the cheap est raterial make this possible, and, in fact, invite her enterprising people to persevere in their attempts to enhance their fortuues by manufacturing. But." adds car California easternporary algsifi. cantly, "it will be noted that if the world shall ever look to our cotton States for ready-made clothes It will be only be cause they are as geed and as cheap as or cheaper, than any lo be found in other countries. Ii Southern looms can effect auch results, it is evident that they need so artificial protection. On the contrary other countries may be somo time clamo ring for protection against the cheap goods from America, since they can, even ?ow, be made to compete successfully with those made in other countries." - The personal estate of the late Hon.

Bmmz*aa*omuBimmammwt**?mjm?*Mmmaanmwmmi The Fate of lite Plunderers. WASHINGTON. February 3.-A gentle man, who daring the Reconstruction period, wai intimately acquainted with the Republican leaders of South Caro lina, has written an interesting review of too political downfall of those persons. The death of Congressman Mackey, he says, has removed tho only real live force in opposition to tho South Carolina Democrats, and that there is no likeli hood that the State will ever be Repub lican again. The leaders of ten years ago are scattered from Dan to JJersheba. Outside of the Federal offices there is not one left. Patterton bas given the Stste a wide berth sinco 187b'. Tom Robertson, the other Senator, is a para lytic in Columbia. Rowen, who held Charleston and all her interests in his grip, is dead. Elliott, the smartest ne gro developed hy a Reconstruction Con gress, Speaker of tho House and Attor ney-General elect, is makiug a precarious living in New Orleans. Wright, the negro Justice of the Supreme Court, is a drunken loafer in Ucaufort. Dunn, the Comptroller-Gen eral, is peddling a pateil glue in Heston. Hardy Solomons, tho Jew financier and keeper of the State deposits, is possessed of a little bake-sbop in Kansas City. Gurney, County Treasurer of Charleston, ls long siuce dead. Niles G. I'arker, the manipulator of millions of conversion bonds, keens a little music store in Indi ana, and ekes out a living by lecturing on temperance and religion. Governor Scott, since his trial for murder, is bro ken in health and spirit, but is pretty solid financially from the riso of Ohio woodlands. Hogo lives in Ohio, and remembers the fat pickings of tho Comptroller-Gen eral's office with pleasure. Cass Carpen ter ia a wreck in Denver. Kx-Chief Jus tice Willard bas drifted to Washington, having been digected aud di-jected by his Dt -socratic employees of 1870. Thc irresistible Judge T. J. Mackey baa also opened a law office in Wasbingtoa. Carduzo, ex-State Treasurer, and Swails, once President of the Senate, look contented with clerkships in thc Treasury. Whittemoro is in Massachu setts. Charley Leslie is as shifty ia Kansas as ever be was in Darnwell Coun ty. Ximpton, once "financial agent" of the Stale in Wall street, is a seedy looking fellow among the curbstone brokers there. Puffer, who once handled the assets of tbe Rank of tbe State, com?? to Washington occasionally, cheer' fui, but not rieb. McDevitt knons tb? value of four aces in Colorado as well as when he had the revenues of Edge field County to back bis hand. John li Dcnnin prospers in Dakota. Jos Woodruff practices shorthand ic a counting-room in Philadelphia, not sc profitably os when ho was the king pic of the legislative ring as clerk of tb? Senate and president of the printing committee. Neagle is a special agent o the pension office, and last, butuot least Frank Moses, the young native Governoi in 1872, having served out his term foi swindling ia tho county prison of Ne?

Terrible Flood* Along the OM? Uiver. CINCINNATI, February 8-C A. M. The river now marka sixty-two feet, a rise of oue and a quarter iucbes linc midoight. It now lack? ono foot seven inches of tho flood of 1847, two feet three inches of the flood of 1832, and four feet four inches of that of last year. The weather is cloudy aud the tempera ture is growing warmer. 1) A. M.-Tue river now marks sixty tw~ feet four and a half inches, a ri*e of four and a half inches since 2 a. m. Tho weather is cloudy and coo!. Thc "?o!d wave'' flag that was flying from the signal office yeaterday morning ?as disappeared. Hopes of freezing weather are dissipated and no relief is expected now from that source. The river at Portsmouth marks sixty feet and is rising last. It is falling rapidly at head waters, but a further riic must como before it ali runs out. Mari etta and Parkersburg have been entirely cut oil' from communication for two days. Portsmouth is the only up the river point that has been beard from so far. WHEELING, February 7-Midnight. Ten thousand people are homeless and unprovided for here. Fully lifieen thou sand were driven from their homes hy the flood. The public schools and the churches have been thrown open and the people are fed and housed there. The water reached the highest point at 10 o'clock, when it wa* fifty-two feet. .Since then it has receded a few inches. CINCINNATI, February 8.-The relief committee, iu conjunction with Mayor .Stephens, have decided lo call out the militia to-night to serve as an assistant patrol, on account of the darkness. The Prosideut of the gas company says that the supply of gas will not be sufficient to last through the night. Three hundred men have been placed on duty. Tht river waa sixty-two feet seven and a half inches at 2 p. m. and sixty-two feet eight and a half iuches st 3 p. m. A dispatch from Zaneaville says thc Muskingum Uiver was higher this morning than ever known, and is still rising an inch every half hour. The water reaches the Balti more and Ohio Railroad bridgo, and only the absence of drift saves it. WHEELING, W. VA., February 9.-To add to the horrors of the flood at Bridge port, Ohio, this morning, at 10 o'clock, J. C. Dent, of the firm of Wells & Dent, in the Heinleiu Blccfc, at the ear ner of Bank and Bennett streets, went into the ?tore with an alcohol lamp. The store bad been more than two thirds sub merged and a barrel of gasoline bad been upset. The gas from this had risen to the second story, and DO sooucr did it come iu contact with the flame of the lamp than an explosion took place and the building set on fire. Dent, who was badly burned, jumped from the second-story window aud received serious internal injuries. WHEELING, W. V., February 'J-2 p. m.-Tho water has receded to 48 feet, leaving three inches of muddy slime over tho deserted streets. A water fam ine is threatened, with no prospects of relief before Monday. Tho subscriptions for the relief of thc destitute have I reached $C,000, and plenty more funds are available. Provisions aro holding out well, and tho promise of restored communication with the outside world is bright. Belief parties havo gone to Benwood and Wellsburg hy steamboat. At West Wheeling over the river the boats were prevented from landing by the inhabitants, headed by State Senator Wagner, who fired on one boat that made an attempt tu land. CINCINNATI, February 9-2 a. m. The river now marks sixty-three feet and two inches, and is rising at the rate of a half inch per hour. It baa been raining since midnight. The goa supply is not yet exhausted. The river now marks sixty-three feet and two and a half iu ches. The weather is cloudy. The Cbf/wiwr?i?' Gazette baa thc follow ing special?: CATTLEHULRU, KV., February 9.-The situation here is deplorable. Only one hotel and one grocery store are open. The people aro occupying the courthouse and schoelbouse. The river is rising two inches por hour. RIPLEY, OHIO, February 9.-The lois by the b iod will be fully equal to last year's. Many houses have been swept from their foundations, and whole fami lies aie homeless. The river is rising 1} inches per hour. A relief committee has been organized, and the citizens nre taking care of their unfortunate neigh bors. WHEELING, W. VA., February 9. Word waa received that people at Keels ; burg, tweoty miles up the river, aro I suffering from famine. At Bernard the situation is bad, but a relief committee visited there on the steamer and left a liberal supply of provisions. CINCINNATI, February 9-2 p. m. The river is sixty three feet, nine inches, and ls rioing at the rate of little more than a half inch per hour. The weather is cloudy and cooler and the wind from the north. The white flag is again float ing from the signal service office, indicat ing colder weather. The river us not likely to fall here until a rush from above takes place. At Ripley. O., only fifty miles above Cincinnati, the river jaming an inch and a haif an hour, and at lia. m. it was within one inch of last yeats's high waler mark. Rain was falling there. The situation is unchanged except that, as the river rises, the loss to the lumber yards and property of that description Increases. HARRISBURG, PA., February 9.-The ice on the opposite side ot the Susque hanna River broke to-day and caused a tremendous flood. Four bridges over the creek between Carlisle and the river, valued at over eighty thousand dollars, were crushed and carried away, and con? siderable damage done otherwise. Three dams were washed out and tba mille con? nected with them were oo badly iujured as to pre vent their running until repaired. The freshet is the worst ever known in the Cumberland Valley. WHEELING, W. VA.. February 9-10 f>. m.-It is estimated that the total loss n this vicinity by the floods is $6,000, 000, including both sides of the river. GALVESTON, February 9.-A special from Long View says: "It has been raining here continually for nearly one hundred hours. The bottoms in every ' direction are flooded and many extensive raahotita and elides cn the railways are reported. ! CINCINNATI, February 10.-The flood ! of 1882 was surpassed at 1 o'clock this morning, and the river has been rising almost constantly all day. Hardly a ahadow of doubt exists that the marl of last year will be reached and pria. .U within the next thirty hours. Indeed at 8 o'clock to-night the prospects decided ly indicated a more rapid rise during the night, for in addition to the reports of continuous rises at points above, the rain bas been falling here steadily since 4 o'clock. It is not heavy, but persistent enongh to indicate aa all night's rain. The same condition exists at Ripley and Maysvillo, fifty and sixty miles np the river. The rain, if it continues all night, will exert a decided influence on the stage of the water here, as the aide streams will be pouring in additional floods. People have lost confidence in the prognostications of tho signal ?ervice. Twice flags have been raised to denote a cold wave coming. The first time the temperature rose instead of falling, and tho second time there was a slight fall followed now br rain. The prophecy that the river would reach the maximum to-day is also false. On the contrary the maximum has not yet been reached at points two hundred miles above Cincin nati, and new floods are pouring In from the Kanawha River. The arrival of the highest water here must now be delayed several days If the present conditions continue. By extremo care and ing?nu I tty the gas company managed to keep the I gai supply up until to night, but now tlie street lamps are unlighted and gas in burning in very few pisces. The tables in the Western Union Telegraph opera tors' room are supplied with candles. The theatres aro running with electric and calcium lights and privato gas ma chines. Serious Charges Against Marshal Dljthe. h'rteni iltc Xevt. The report of the examiners who in* vestigated ex-Marshal A. Blythe's office is now made public, lt ia loog, and in cludes very -erioua charsres against him. the gist of them being that he reported only one-fifth ol' the feen and commis sions camed by him in civil cases, re turning only $500 from May, 1831, to De cember, 1882, whereas the ri al Hum was $?,000 ; that he reported umounts paid for fees to juror? and support of prisou era A hen he had not paid them ; that he withheld the pay of witnesses when he had government money in Ina hand? to pay them, thereby aiding brokers iu dis counting witnet-s pay certificates al high rates ; that he swore that amounts due to Sheriffs had been paid when they had ?ot been ; that he used money allowed him for one purpose for another, coutrary tu instructions, and made fictitious bal ancea to cover the transactions ; that he approved ami reported for payment ac counts for services never rendered and money not really expended for Deputy Marshals ; that the account of Juab .Mau'din, Sheriff of Bickens, for 0?J miles mileage for ht-rving a subpu na sent him by tuail was raised lo :'.15 miles as if be had travelled all of the distance from Charleston to serve it ; aud that be ia about 19,000 short in bia balance being indebted to the I'nited States in that sum. Arnoug the witnesses agtiust Marshal Blythe were Wm. II. Irvine and A. H. .Jenkin??, of this city, who held $12'J and $47? ol' witcess paper respectively, lt. C. Gritiiu, of Picken*, who held $400 of it, aud various brokers iu Charleston. The report aays : "The following persons have rendered falso, fraudulent and fictitious accounts for service by making charges for service of process when no service was made : Deputy Marshal A. E. Philipy, Julius l-'aaborg, C. U. Kimbrell, John A Ste venson, Alfred Harris, J.J. Pearson, Z. L. Pearson, Wm. McK. Mittag, W. M. Bridges, A. (f. Smith, C. A Carson, J. E. (rszt>, C.W.

The fraudulent charges were for travel in goiDg to serve process when no travel was performed, transportation of prisoners when none were transported, transportation of guards and services of guards when none were employed, expenses in endeavoring lo arrest when none were incurred, meals for prisoners when none were furnished, Ac. Other deputies havo also rendered incorrect accounts, and disallowances are recommended hy the examiners to the amount of #5,824.43." Thc Morrison Hill. WASHINGTON, February 8.-For many reasons the Morrison tariff bill has been fully discussed in Washington. It was tho first tariff bill presented to this Con gress. It came from the chairman of the ways and means committee, it em bodies the ideas of the most conspicuous leader of the large class of Democrats in Congress who favor immediate tariff agitation. Mr. Morrison sets great ?turo by the bill. He is one of the hardest workers in Congress. Ho has achieved his high position in politics by dint of pluck and perseverance. No man moves about the members more than he. Since thia bill was offered last Monday, bis ac tivity has been perceptibly increased. It is not too much to say that he is en gaged in pressing the bill upon the at tention of a large number of congress men, especially upon the members of the ways and means committee. Congress man Dibble, of South Carolina, said to mo to-day: "I have just read the Morrinon bill." "What do you thiuk of it7" "There are some good thiogs in it, but it ia ou plan I do uot like. Thc idas of a horizontal rcducliou of the tariff does not strike me favorably. It is not in keeping with previous Democratic policy. If wo have opposed the present tari ll' for one reason more than another it has been because it is a discriminating tariff. It bears with unequal weight upon our various interests. Now I am opposed and have been all the while op posed to any agitation of the tariff at this time, but if we go in to reform it at all we should not begin on this basis. I am in favor of opening the question on its merits and not simply scaling off the surplus of a discriminating schedule. If the question most come up 1 hope the ways and means committee will present to the house a fairer and better bill." Congressman Blount said : "The bill is merely Mr. Morrison's own conception of what should be done in tariff reduc tion. It cannot be taken as expressing tho view of the commine? stsP, though bumo o? ita taembens may bo wiliing to accept it. Mr. Morrison has not consnl : :d his committee colleagues on the prep aration of the bill, lt comes before them as open to amendments or as free for rejection entirely as if any other mombo . of the house had offered iL" Mr. Pnndall declines to express him self on the bill at present, but it is well known that ita general plan does not meet his approval. I am inclined to think that thc extreme tariff reductionists in the committee and in the House will take up the Morrison bill aa the basis of their work. Some of them even think it is too conservative. Certainly it is not such a bill aa Judge Reagan or Frank Hurd would propose. The anticipated difficulty of passing any tariff bill has caused those in favor of agitating the question at this time to con sult and agree on co-operation. Mr. Carlisle has, doubtless, been trying to temper them. Therefore it bi most likely that the Morrison bill with little change will be tho measure presented by the committee and discussed in the house. No signs of healing in the division of democratic sentiment on this question are apparent now. Whether the discussion of the bill will widen differences already existing, or induce mutual concessions resulting in party harmony remains to be seen. A Very Cheap Wife. HIGHLAND GROVE, S. C., Feb. 4,1884. -A strange story was told me yesterday by a reputable gentleman, and its cor rectness cannot be denied. Here it is: In the year 1881 there came to Highland a mechanic from North Carolina. After working several months he bronght his wife over. She deserted him in a few days after her arrival, and went, aa th? sequel proves, to your city. Several months elapsed, and onr mechanic dis covered the whereabouts of his recreant wife. He went to Greenville, and after searching awhile fonnd hor in the pos session of a Dutchman, my informant states. Now, here was a nice kettle of fish, bot the mechanic proved equal to the emergency. He forthwith calls on Mr. Dutchman, and threatens to put the law to him unless he should fall? satisfy him, (mechanic) for having his (mechan ic's) wife in his pcaseesion. Proceedings wera then commenced. Mechanic pro posed that Dutchman should pay him fifteen dollars for the woman, and ho would san ender al! claim upon her, and wouH never prosecute. Dutchman de murred becAuse he didn't have the mon ey. Mechanic, after considerable par leying and arguing, finally proposed that Dutchman should pay him five dollars and a pint of whiskey for the womao, which proposition was accepted, and tho bargain was complete, tbe woman con senting to the transfer. Mechanic is now married to another woman (No. 4) and is liviog in North Carolina. Dutch man and hts fire dollare-aod-a-pint-of whiskey-woman are presumably in Green ville. So the curtain drops.- Oorrctpon dene? Greenville Newe. The Coming Marshal. WAHHIXOTON, February 6.-The nom ination of T. J. Tuomey to be United States Marshal for South Carolina is likely lo provoke active opposition. It is understood that Tuomey. **he- !s now Deputy Collector of internal revenue under Brayton, was fo.'mely Deputy United States Marshal under Blythe, and is one of those at present under a cloud. This cloud is shortly to be lifted by the Springer committee. When the Blythe marshal frauds were being exam ined it is said that Tuomey turned up as one of the ring of deputies by whose connivance the frauds were made possi ble. Perhaps if the Springer committee or Senator Butler would bunt up Tuomey's record as a Deputy Marshal bi.t chances for a fresh pick would grow beautifully less. The Senators from South Carolina do not seem to know wbo Tuomey is. Sen ator Wade Hampton bad never heard of Toomey, but thought he belonged to the carpet-bag element of South Carolina. He bad boped that some reputable Re publican would have been selected to fill the Marshalsbip and had expressed him self to that effect to his colleagues. Now the President bad sent in an obscure man and it nai difficult to predict what action would be taken regarding confirmation. Representative Aiken, of South Caro lina, also professed ignorance as to the new marshal, and said the only Tuomey he knew was a professor of that name who served aa State geologist of South Carolina about forty years ago. It was not likely that the nominee for marshal was of this family, for Prof. Tuomey lived in the northern part of the State, and had never affiliated with any party other than the Democracy. Livingston and Agnew were bad enough, but it peemcd that au Marshal Tuomey had the endorsement of Collector Braytou he must be one of the understrappers of the latter and not a credit to the State of South Carolina.-Special tc ftcici and Courier.
