AT LAST THE PEOPLE ABE MASTERS! gf We Will "Have a Look at .the Books"?The Republicans Must Go! A* Glorious Victory over Corrup 9 k ?' tion and Fraud! PRESIDENT CLEYJELAND t We have delayed the publication of the Intelligence!* until this (Thum day) afternoon, in order to announce (q our readers the result of the Presidentini election, and now that enough has been heard to settle the contest we are en? abled to bring the tidings of a victory which has in it many surprises as to the States which make it up, though the general result was anticipated with con , fidence by us. . At the hour of going toj press wa are enabled from dispatches re? ceived to announce that the States o f Ne w Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut aud New York have gone Democratic, and with them also the solid South, giving Cleve? land two hundred and nineteen votes pertain, or .eighteen votes more than . necessary to elect him. The Democrats are also confidently claiming Wisconsin, /-Michigan and Nevada, which would give 21 votes more. They also claim Illinois, v California and New -Hampshire, wherej ' the vote is close. This would givertbiriy additional votes. We may sum up that Cleveland has 219 votes certain, 240 probable, and 270 . possible. He is, therefore, undoubtedly . elected, , and will, if he lives to see the ^fourth of next March, undoubtedly be oar next President. The victory is sweeping and complete. The Democracy-have done better every .; "where than was expected, except in Virginia, New York and Ohio. Virgin-: ia and New York were in doubt during 'Wednesday, but came out all right on . ^Thursday, the majority in New. York, however, being reported as less than two thousand. Ohio went Bepublican by an : increased majority. Massachusetts is close, and it is thought Blaine will carry the, State by less than 5,000 majority. i Bkine's majority in the Stete of New York} down to the Harlem Eivex, was ! about sixty thousand, but the cities of] New York and Brooklyn and the Counties' in which they are situated, gave Cleve* land over sixty thousand majority, thus wiping out Blaine's vote and putting Cleveland ahead. It has been a contest against enor? mous odds, and the. victory is rendered all the more valuable in consequence thereof. It proves that virtue has not ' left the American.people, and that they : value official integrity above party ties or brilliant attainments. It argues well for the permanence of our free institu? tions and guarantees a return to pure government. The rascals have been tamed out and the country is safe. The Torch in the State. .

Fell Work of Disorderly Negroes In Edge field County. Dispatch to The New and Courier. Augusta, October 29.?Last Sunday a party of negroes disturbed the dedica? tion ceremonies at a white church at Parksville, Edgefield County, by firing pistol ? and other boisterous conduct. Complaint was made, and to-day Officer Jas. Blackwell was sent with a warrant, to arrest them. He found the negroes barricaded in a house, and upon his ap? proach they fired upon and killed him. Mu:h excitement prevails in the place and Governor Thompson has been noti? fied of the trouble. A party of white men from Parksville were here to-day for arms and ammunition, and endeav? ored also to get a company of men to go from Augusta to their assistance. Governor Thompson received a dis? patch yesterday from Mr. Bethea, of Edgefield, who was then in Augusta, informing him that Mr. Blackwell bad been shot, and that the negroes were en? trench ed.. between Stevens's Creek and Savannah River, and asking for armed assistance to suppress any disturbance and secure the arrest of the negroes; Governor Thompson immediately tele? graphed to the sheriff to take such steps as was.necessary and communicate fur; ther with him. Governor Thompson bad made all his arrangements to speak at Bonneau's to day, tiut in view of the occurrence in Edgefield County, and as it is probable that it will-be necessary.for him to be in Columbia, he is unable, to his great re? gret, to keep his appointment. - Augusta, October 80.?The Augusta and Knoxville Railroad train has just come in. Whan it passed Parksville this morning there was much excitement, but po danger of a collision between the blacks, and whites. About 150. white men were uader arms. No negroes could be seen. Four negroes, supposed to be con? cerned in the riot, had been arrested and were in irons. The ringleader in the affair in still at large, and is, supposed to be hiding in the swamp.. Two parties of men, one headed by John Butler and the other by Press Blackwell,'are scouring the country for him. James Blackwell.is not dead, as was at first reported, but is mortally- wounded. ? The posse which started out yesterday to _ arre9t the negroes who had disturbed the ' Church meeting on Sunday consisted of six or seven. A negro woman; who saw' them si art and knew their purpose, took a short cut and reached the rioters before they did, informing them that the posse wascoming. The negroes laid in ambush, and .-when the posse approached' fired a volley without warning, mortally wound? ing James Blackwelt. The posse return? ed the fire and the negroes fled. . It was supposed that the rioters would -get reinforcements and return, but there bave beeu no such manifestations. The utmost excitement prevails in the place. There is nothing- political about the affair, ' Aug if st a, October 80.?Evening.? There are.no new.developments to-night about the Parksville- affair. The i white people are still under arms, but there is no further apprehension of trouble. Officers are searching everywhere for the negroes concerned in the shooting, but up to - the present time they, have not suc? ceeded in finding the ringleaders. ' It is believed now that two of them have come to A..-gcata, as the uncle of one lives here and a re lative of the other in L'angiey. -' It is admitted on all hands that there was no! hing political in the riot.-.! The negroes-.seem to have been fired, by a spirit cf deviltry and disturbed the church .dedication on Sunday for no other reason. It was comparatively a small party-that fired upon the. officers. Black well is alive yet, but is expected to die at r any moment. The people of Parksville and the sur? rounding country are greatly excited, but no morei tiouble is apprehended. It is pretty certain the men who did the shoot? ing will be lynched if caught. The Au? gusta police are looking for the two sup? posed to be here. It is reported that the negroes between Augusta and Edgefield are disposed to be troublesome. A white man on a wagon coming to this city was stopped by a party of them to day a :d ordered to go back home. He was compelled to turn back. :-Auguuta,'October 81.?A rumor was current here this morning that the ne? groes arrested at Parksville had all been shot The conductor of the Augusta and Kncxville Railroad train reaching Augusta at 12 o'clock says this is not so.* There are seven negroes now under arrest, but the ring-leaders in the recent riot have not been caught When the train Sassed ?e excitement was still great, [early all the white men from Merri weatber to Plum Branch are under arm's. No negroes at all can be seen. AuGUtfTA, October 31?Night.?The negro pr, noners at Parsk vi lie have; been carried to Edgefield and lodged in jail. The country near Parksville is still in a ferment, but all danger of trouble is over.. Hits tbe Wrong HLmK , Early Bbanch, October 29.?A very serious accident happened this morning to Mr. .William M. Stokes, eldest son of Gen. Wra. Stokes, of this place. Tbe following, in brief, are the circumstances: Several depredations bad been perpetra? ted on tbe store of Steinmeyer & Stokes, and a grin had been "planted" in the store in such a way that a person passing behind one of the counters would strike with his foot a string attached to the trigger ?.nd discharge the gun. This morning, Mr. C. W. Eicken, tbe clerk of tbe firm, had forgotten, on opening the store, to detach the string, as usual, and Mr. Stokes, who, with hi? cousin, Dr. John L. Stokes, had gone down to the store to transact a little business before breakfast, was passing behind the counter to a show-case, his cousin, the Doctor, being about six feet in the rear of him, when his left foot struck the string. The gun was discharged and a full load of buckshot literally tore away the pos? terior muscles of the middle portion of the right thigh. Dr. Stokes, as soon as he realized the nature of the accident, and fearing tbe severance of tbe femoral artery, grasped his cousin round the wounded leg and held him till assistance reached them, when Mr. Stokes was con? veyed to his residence, and Drs. Greg orie and Hutson promptly sent {for. Although the wound is a serious one, yet the bone is uninjured, and amputa? tion will be unnecessary. A long period must necessarily elapse, however, before Mr. Stokes will be able to leave his room. ? A well-known business man of Chicago surprised his frieuds, the other day, by turning up as crazy as a bed bug. As he had no bad habits and was in a sound financial condition, people were Euzzled over his sudden derangement, ut the mystery was fully explained when it was discovered that tbe unfortu? nate man's mind had been unhinged by reading campaign literature. The only wonder iu that the entire, country is not full of howling lunatics. ? In their recent presentment, the* grand jury of Spartanburg County say: "We ba<i observed with great pleasure the good effects of the 'no license' law throughout the whole county. It is to be hoped, fcr the sake of tbe peace, prosper? ity and good order of tbe whole commu? nity, that the City of Spartanburg, which is the natural market and gathering place of tbe people of the whole county, will not, from selfish policy or other reason, inflict upon the county all tbe evils of public bar-rooms." ? The North Carolina 9 Exposi? tion closed on Saturday, af continuing thirty-one days. The total attendance was about 200,000, DOUBLE MURDER IN RABIN, GA. A Drunken Hnsband Kills His Wife and SIster'In'La-K-. Atlanta Constitution. Clayton, Ga., October29.?Last night was enacted a tragedy that will be long remembered in this place. Mr. E. VV. Beck, while under the influence of whis? ky, shot his wife through the brain and his sisler-inlaw, Miss Addie Bailie, through the.chest, the ball entering be? tween the 8th and 9th ribs, behind on the left side, and lodging just beneath the skin to the right of the sternum in front, resulting in the instant death of the for? mer and fatally wounding the latter. No cause is assigned except drunkenness, as they all appeared to be living amicably. Miss Bailie's home is in Cumming, Ga., and she was here on a visit to her sister. Dr. Bailie, their father, lives at Cum? ming. Mr. Eugene Beck surrendered to the sheriff, and was put in jail. The killing occurred about 9} o'clock. Dr. Frank Smith has taken charge of Miss Bailie, and .was working with all his medical skill to save the unfortunate young lady. '. Captain Couch, of the Atlanta police department, was in Clayton, Eabunxoun ty, the day after Eugene Beck murdered his wife and gave his sister-in-law a mortal wound. Clayton is a small town, and, although situated in the mountains, once famous as a rendezvous for illicit distilleries,.its citizens have always been noted for their love of law, order and peace. The town is an old one, but never since the first bouse went up,.has it had a sensation so great as the killing of Tuesday night, and never again in all probability will the good .people be called upon to witness such an awful tragedy.. The special telegram printed in yesterday's Constitu? tion i gave but a meager account of the .double murder, but Captain Couch adds enough to it to.make the story complete. Beck, the man who has imbued his bands in the blood of those nearest and dearest to him is a man well known in Eabun county, while his wife was the daughter of a successful physician and grominent.citizen of Forsyth county, oth families are widely related and their social position was the best in the land. Beck was reared by a devoted mother and a kind father and in his youth was given every advantage. He was a bright boy and was reputed to be the handsomest .young man in northeast Georgia. All of his relatives were quite wealthy, and when be reached bis majority a bright future was before him. He opened his career promisingly by . marrying into a family whose social and financial stand? ing was- equal to bis own. His wile, then his bride, was a young lady of beauty, iefinement and intelli? gence. From, everywhere they , secured congratulations upon their happy choice of life partners . and their wedded life opened in a'brightness which is a sad .contrast to its dark and terrible ending. Endowed with a good mind and possessed of plenty, Beck, soon made himself a prominent citizen. His business relatious with the world were pleasant, while his home was all that could be desired. But when yet a young man he began drinking, and as time went by that habit frew. upon him .jjutil he became little etter than a drunkard... His business of course suffered, but never did be forget the peerless treasure he had in his wife until Wednesday morning. ? : how the shooting occurred. Beck's home was located near the limit of the town, but in the county jail he had a room?a kind of business office. For some weeks previous to the killing Beck had been on a spree. He drank'hard and recklessly, and his wife, who bad tried time and time again to reform him, was so saddened by the spree that she sent for her sister, Miss Hadie Bailie, to come to her. The sister wen^ and their meeting was a touching one. Beck re? ceived his sister-in-law pleasantly but her presence had no effect on him. Tuesday he drank harder than ever, and late that night sought his home. He found his wife in bed, and. without a word of .warning, drew his pistol and shot her through the head, killing 'her instantly. The ball entered the bead in the back near the neck and passing en? tirely through, came out on the forehead. When the fatal shot was fired Mrs. Beck was in the act of rising to greet her hus? band, but she was unconscious of her approaching doom, and bo quick was her death that she probably never knew that her husband was her murderer. Miss Bailie was attracted by the shot, but as she started through the door leading into the room where her Bister was dying, the husband directed the pistol toward her and fired. Ab he drew the trigger the young lady wheeled to retreat, but she was too late, and the ball ploughed its way through her chest, entering on the left side behind, between the seventh and eighth ribs and passing to the front. No one was near to prevent the deed, and when the second shot was fired Beck quietly walked from his house to his room in the jail where he locked himself in. The sad news flew fast and before the body of the murdered wife was cold search-was being made for Beck. He was found in his room in jail, but refused to open the door, and when the door was finally forced those who entered saw him standing in the middle of the floor with, the muzzle of a cocked pistol against his right temple. The tableau was a fright? ful one, but just as bis finger began to press the trigger some one sprang forward and knocked the pistol from the murder? er and would-be suicide's band. He was then secured and placed in jail. The wildest excitement followed the killing. A messenger was sent to Cumming, Forsyth county, to bear the sad intelli? gence to Dr. Bailie, the father of Beck's two victims, and then while the wounded lady was being cared for gentle hands prepared the dead sister for burial. The murdered wffe was a most estimable lady. While Miss Bailie is as beautiful and accomplished as her sister was when she married Beck, Miss Bailie is only about nineteen years of age. She will probably die. The people of Clayton account for the tragedy only in Beck's spree. He does not seem to realize his awful crime and when questioned about the shooting says be thought he was shooting doge. new8 from clayton. Tallulah, October 30.?Eugene Beck, the actor in the awful tragedy in killing his wife and seriously shooting his sister-in-law, Miss Hadie Bailie, on Wednesday night last, in Clayton, Ea? bun county, is a native of that cou ty and a member of one of the most weal? thy and respectable families ic northeast Georgia. He is a large, massive man, of about 40 years of age, of fine physique, black, fearless, peercing eyes, dark com? plexion, weight probably 220 pounds, and withall very fine looking. About twenty years ago he begau drinking and has since been intemperate, at times very dissipated. He is a man of fine impulses, and popular with all of his fellow citizens. Mrs. Beck was a splendid lady, and there is no suspicion that their marital union was infelicitious; on the contrary, their devotion as husband and wife was all that their binppeoplo and friends could wish. The theory has its solution in the fact that he was crazed with drink. Miss Bailie is better at this writing, and it is believed will recover. Beck lies in Clayton jail, perfectly ratioual about the sad affair, but seems at lucid intervals to regret bis rash net, at times bursting into tears Clayton. Ga., October 31.?Miss Ad? die Bailie died here this evening from the fatal wounds she received on the 28th inst. Dr. Bailie is here preparing to con? vey his two murdered daughters to Cum? ming, Ga., for interment. Mr. Beck, the murderer, has stood his committing trial and did not speak a word. Dr. Bailie leaves here to-night for Tallulah falls, with 6ome of his friends. EX-GOVERNOR MOSES. Particulars of His Recent Attempt to Commit Suicide. Detroit. Free Press, October 31. Detroit, October 30.?Franklin J? Moaes, Republican Governor of South Carolina in the days of good stealing, who is in jail here for swindling a num? ber of clergymen by representing him? self as the Rev. Dr. W. \V. Hicks, of Washington, tried to hang himself in his cell to day. Mose3 was afterwards brought into the police court, charged with swindling. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months in tbe House of Correction. His lawyer hopes to effect his transfer to an insane asylum. Ex-Go/. Franklin J. Moses, of South Carolina, charged with stealing ?15 from Rev. E. L. Rexford, D. D., pastor of the Universalist Churcb, by obtaining that amount from him by falsely representing himself as Rev. Dr. Hicks of Washing? ton, spiritual adviser of Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield, made an attempt about 5 o'clock yesterday morn? ing to bang himself in bis cell in tbe County Jail. Tbe prisoner made a rope from two handkerchiefs, which he placed around his neck and tied one end to his cell door, in Ward No. 4. He then kicked a stool on which he stood from under his feet, and was struggling when the noise was heard by a prisoner who occupied an adjoining cell. The inmates of this ward are not locked up iu their cells at night. This saved the ex-Gover? nor's life. The prisoner who heard the noise arose and going into the corridor found Moses banging. His face bad turned black, and in a minute or two more he would have been strangulated. The prisoner used an old pair of scissors which'were allowed in the ward for hair trimming purposes to cut tbe would-be suicide down, and laid him on his bed, where he was revived through the exer? tions of other prisoners, who had been awakened by a cry of alarm. Moses said but little of his attempt, although he acknowledged that be was determined to die rather than go to prison. He real? ized tbe position he was in and for some time had been very despondent. This was the first attempt at suicide in the jail for many years. When Moses was brought into the police court yesterday afternoon for trial he looked very pale and feeble and dis? played some nervousness. He was neatly dressed in black, but had an unshorn free, which he turned away from tbe spectators who gathered to get a glimpse of him. In front of the prisoners' box sat Rev. Dr. Rex ford with his wife and daughter, ready to proceed with the case.. Moses eyed tbe reverend gentleman whom he had swindled, but did not speak to him. At 2.15 o'clock Justice Miner called the case of "John F. May," when his attorney, George X. M. Collier, arose and asked that it be continued un? til the mental condition of his client could be established. He-said that since the last adjournment of the case he bad made diligent efforts to get witnesses herein his behalf, but had failed. He corresponded witb a number of persons in the Southern States, who were ac? quaintances of the prisoner, and received several answers; but on account of the election excitement they could not come here until after the close of the campaign. Among the letters received was one from the Secretary of the Navy, who wrote that tbe son of tbe prisoner is in the Naval Department in California. It was certain that he could not come to help his father out. Justice Miner replied that tbocase bad already been continued an unusual length of time, and be could not see how the prisoner could be benefited by another adjournment. There is no positive assu? rance that witnesses in his behalf would be present at a future time. If a con? tinuance was granted it could only be done until November 5, as tbe case will tben have been in court for a month, and under the law it must be disposed of in that time?otherwise the court would have no jurisdiction. Mr. Collier sp-'d that he was authorized by his client to ,ay that if he does not furnish any evidence at the time the case is adjourned to he will withdraw his plea of not guilty and plead guilty. Tbe attorney agreed that if tbe court was disinclined to grant another adjourn? ment it would be useless to proceed to trial, as the facts in the case were well understood and a trial would be waived. The court said that he bad been very indulgent in the matter of continuing the case, both to the complainant and tbe defendant. The business of the court demanded that it be disposed of within the time prescribed by law. Mr. Collier said in answer to this that an adjournment of two or three days would be of-no benefit to bim. Justice Miner?"What do you intend to show for your client?" Mr. Collier?"I desire to prove by medical testimony that my client is en? tirely irresponsible for his acts. He has been traveling from place to place engaged in the business he is charged with here.. I don't know anything about him except what be has personally told me and what I have seen in the papers." The Court?"I have no judicial knowl? edge of the case." Mr. Collier consulted Moses and then announced that he would withdraw his plea of not guilty and enter one of guilty. The attorney asked the court whether he would defer passing sentence. Justice Miner said he could not do this, and then addressing tbe prisoner asked him if be desired to withdraw bis plea. "I do," replied Moses. "Have you anythiog to say for your? self?" "I desire to say so much that I do not wish to trespass on tbe lime of tbe court in my case." "You have the whole afternoon before you. I will listen patiently to what you say." Moses again said that he did not wish to go to trial and the court then sentenced him to imprisonment in the House of Correction for ninety days without the alternative of a fine. Mr. Collier asked that tbe prisoner bo allowed to remain in jail until Monday before being taken to prison, which the court granted. Moses was then taken back to jail and confined in the fourth ward. He was visited by a patrolman who had known him in South Carolina while he was Governor and pleasantly chatted wi4h him for a few minutes, recalling inci? dents of the time when he was in power. Tbe handkerchief with which he at? tempted to commit suicide will be kept by Turnkey Troy as a curiosity and care will be taken that he will not repeat his attempt during his stay in jail. The charge against tbe prisoner of ob? taining money from Rev. J. C. Atter bury under false pretenses will be heard when his term of imprisonment expires. Much more trouble is in store for tbe celebrated convict in different parts of the country. A Trial Justice in Tronble. Abbeville, October 28.?Trial Jus? tice Tarrant, charged with official mis? conduct in office was tried yesterday on three counts in the indictment for forcing the pay for jurors in advance, hiring out prisoners, refusing to allow the arrest of prisoners by constables with a warrant. Verdict guilty. The community is surprised. Counsel gave notice of motion for a new trial to be heard to? morrow.?Dispatch to News and Courier. ? Mr. R. R.

He is a liberal one, too. Besides making a handsome gift toward defraying the campaign expen? ses, he helped the party in Columbia last Friday in a curious way. He gave out that every negro who presented at the circus door a registration certificate instead of a ticket, would be admitted free upon giving up to the doorkeeper such certificate. One hundred and fifty five negroes thus parted with their elect? ive franchise, for not one of them can vote to-morrow. Old John Robinson has rendered valuable service to the County in getting rid of these votes. Shot Through the Heart. Midway, October 27.?A very sad and terrible accident occurred here this even? ing. A young man in the prime of life, by the name of Riley Smoke, went squirrel hunting with a man by the name of R. H. Broad water. After they had gone about two miles into the swamp, as it is called here, they were very success? ful in their hunt. When they came to a log Smoke rested his gun upon it and stooped to pick some briars from his leg when the gun slipped and the hammer struck the log and discharged the whole load of shot into his heart. Smoke ex? claimed, "Oh, Lord, run for the doctor I" and falling on the ground expired in a few minutes. Smoke was a sober and industrious young man, of about twenty-one years of age, and was farming until recently he began business in this place. He supported an aged mother and was well liked by the entire commuuity who are greatly shocked at his sudden death.? News and Courier. For a good smoke, buy Wilhite's Lead? er Cigar.

We fully realize the fact that times are hard, but w<! have to pay our debts, wet or dry; and wc cannot, in justice to ourselves, be as indulgimt in "carrying over" as we have been in the past. We hope every one who entertains a thought of being "carried" wiEl take this notice person? ally to.himself, as we propose in every instance to collect where the money can be made by law.

Address L. E. NORRYCE, Anderson, S. C. August 21; 1884 ' 6_6m A CARD. WE would like to call to the attention of the people of Anderson County a few significant.*facts concerning; the Drug Store of HILL BROS., recently moved from Broylee'J3uiJding on Main Street to McCully's Corner bn the PublicJ3qpare? Smiths' old utand. In the first place these men endoavor,by watching their business closely, lo keep always on hand such Drugs, Patent Med? icines, Lamps, and other articles in their 'line, that parties wishing to come or send to their Store for anything, not entirely out of date, can always be accommodated. For instance, the season for sowing wheat is now upon us, and they have plenty of Blue Stone for soaking it all; and so when the bilious seasons come they have always on hand a - plenteoun supply of Liver Regulators, Pills, Ac, and in the cbills:and fever time they double their stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all kinds. And even so in the season when "young men's fancies ligbcly turn,?'<&c., that is, aldnf; about Christmas, you can always find there what you want in the way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand? some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented ? nd elegantly decorated Perfumed Bottles, Ladies' Work Boxes, lovely Mirrors and Fancy Articles of every description. It is true they keep a stock of all these things throughout; the year, bat they try to regulate the quantities to suit the season for which they are particularly adapted; am)-while even in Spring and Summer they keep their stock of Lamps full, you will find that they have now on band the largest and best selected stock of Library, Extension, Stand and E and Lamps they have ever kept before?it is really worth a walk over there to see the display. L Another significant fact :s, that the I Junior; partner, who. is tb'e: Druggist, ; sleeps on the Public Square, in easy ac? cess to thoao wishing Prescriptions or Medicines prepared at night.

AS we do not offer any premium with this puzzle, we will give you the key to it now. The way you work it as follows : Look through the above list of letters, and if you find the letter with which your name begins, it is a sign that we need the money you owe us; or if you don't owe us any, and have some to spend, it means we want you to call on us and see if we can't trade you out of it. All those who can't find their initial letter in this list need not trouble to pay up, as they are the ones whose accounts we don't care to collect.
