E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THUBBDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1884~ ONE YEAS_?.~.?._?1.50. 811 MONTHS_ 75c. Two Dollars it not paid in advance. The late election was a glorious one for the country. It not only "turned the rascals out," but it buried Blaine and Butler, two of America's most dangerous and unprincipled demagogues. - The letter B v, as a fatal initial letter for Presidential candidates this year. Butler, Blaine and Belva were all snowed under by the popular ballot on tbe 4th. Its neighbor G bore off tbe laurels this time. The Democrat) have not only elected a Democratic President, but they will also have the next Congress of the United States by not less than forty-five majority. This shows that the sentiment of tbe people remains firmly Democratic Tbe last echoes of tbo late war are now gone. Every State in which Blaine flaunted the bloody shirt went for the Democratic ticket The Republicans are beaten, and with them the sectional bit? terness of tbe past will go. Hereafter North and South will mean no more in politics than East and West. Tbe election of Cleveland will com* pensate the people of South Carolina for all their trouble and expense in tbe late election by tbe removal of three speci? men Radical office holders, if it did nothing more. Those three men are District-Attorney Samuel W. Melton, the renegade jury packer ; Taft, tbe bitter and vindictive Charleston Postmaster, and internal Revenue Collector E. M. Bray ton, who has filled our mountain Counties with his malicious understrap? pers to harass and annoy the honest people of those Counties, more than to ferret out tbe criminals. Of course, these are only incidents of Tuesday's grand victory, but tbe incidentals iu this case would compensate for the trouble, even if tbe main glories of the victory were not a greater reward. The people of South Carolina were bo anxious for Cleveland's election that when tbe news of this grand event came they could not realize its truth. They bad become so accustomed to defeat tbat although they did their duty nobly on tbe day of election, yet they bod no idea of being rewarded by tbe election of their man. As the good news began to be confirmed, however, the unbounded enthusiasm of the people burst forth aod, from one'end of tbe State to the other, cannon boomed, bands played, men cheered, and tbe bonfires and torch lights glared throughout the State. It has been a grand jubilee over a glorious deliver? ance. For all these blessings our people should be duly grateful. This victory more than compensates for tbe droughts and financial stringency of the past two jean. It is a deliverance from tyranny, fraud and corruption. Such a deliver? ance was well calculated to call forth tbe peans of a happy, and once again, free people. - .. i-m - - ? The Associate Press sent out false dis? patches about the Presidential* election in New York until last Friday the news became irresistible, and the facts began to be made known. The masses in the city of New York arose with curses and imprecations upon their Republican deceivers, and marched the streets of the city keeping time to the shout of "Hang, bang, hang, Jay Gould," the principal owner of tbe Associate Press Company's stock. Gould could not be found in the city, and immediately he telegraphed his congratulations to President-elect Cleve? land. The mob bad no temper for being cheated out of the election, and the feeling was so strong that the offices of the Associate Press bad to be guarded. They immediately began sending out Cleveland dispatches, and thereby secured a cessation of the wild excitement which threatened the destruction of their prop? erty and a riot in New York. They were fully convinced that the people were in no temper to be fooled with, and immediately owned up the truth. This feeling in New York ensures a fair count and a triumphant inauguration of the Democratic President. PEACE RESTORED. The efforts made by tbe Republicans to count Blaine in will not avail. The whole country understands that Cleve? land is elected, and intends that he shall be installed. There will be no more counting out by corrupt Returning 'Boards and venal Commissions. This time the voice of the people will be heard and obeyed. The Republicans well undents* d the temper of the people, that there is a point beyond which they cannot go, that they have reached that point in fraud, corruption and rascality, and that another steal of the Presidency will precipitate a revolution which will overwhelm them. They may for a short time bluster and die hard, but this is all they can do, and the verdict of a great people declares tbey are unworthy of the trusts reposed in them, and that tbey must give place to honest, upright, and honorable men. Tbe election of Grover Cleveland is the most important political event which has occurred aiace tbe adoption of the Constitution in 1789. All parties previ? ous to the war were patriotic and honest, and the supremacy of any one or more cf them did not endanger Constitutional government. Since tbe close of tbo war tbe Republican party has been revolu? tionary, sectional and corrupt. Its whole aim has been to divide tbe country into two sections, and maintain its supremacy by arraying the stronger section against the weaker, and continuing a sts.te of quasi war between them. The war closed near twenty years ago, the South has been loyal and devoted to the Constitu? tion and government, and yet that party daring all this time has done all in its power by oppressive legislation, corrupt Federal Judges, unprincipled United States District Attorneys, packed juries and mercenary marshals, to harass the Southern people, to array the colored population against the white, and pro? duce all tbe discord possible, tbat they might wave tbe bloody shirt,and thereby continue in power, and turn attention from their corruption and stealing*. The inauguration of President Cleveland means that all this is at end; that our government is by the people for the whole people. There will no longer be a North and South. We are a reunited people. The war is at an end. The rascals who have been sent to the South to incite tbs colored people to riot and bloodshed must leave, and their places supplied by honest and upright men who will see that every man, white and colored, has hi i rights secured to him. IT IS ALL OVER, And Cleveland Will be the Next Presi? dent. It is now positive that the vote of the electoral college will be cast as follows: democratic states.

Y.f November 8 ?There wau no decrease in the number.of con? gratulatory dispatches received by Gov? ernor Cleveland to-day. Colonel ,;La mount, the governors private secretary anc. several attaches of the office were constantly employed iu opening and arranging messages. At least four thou-, sand were received during last two or three days, and they have come from nearly every State in the Union. The governor's mail is also exceedingly large. The executive chamber was thronged with visitors all day, and many of them shook the governor by the hand'. Among the callers were, Congressmen Wm. Donsheimer, ex Secretary Treasury Ben* jamin F. Bristow, ex-Senator Bixby, Richard Vaux. Senator Michael C. Mur and Colonel John R. Fellows, iroard R. Giliman, one of the leading artists of Puck, also called and paid, his respects to the governor. The following letter was received by the governor from Wm. H. Vanderbilt: Eon. Grovet Cleveland?My Bear Sir; ?I congratulate yon and the people of J the whole country upon your election to the presidency of the United States. Yon owe your election, in my opinion, to the fact that the people believed you to be a n honest man, and not to any partic? ular efforts made by any faction of either Democratic or Republican parties. In? dependent men who care more for good government than for parties or individu? als have made you their choice, because they were convinced that your adminis? tration would not be for the benefit of any political organization or favored persons, but for the interest of the whole people. This is just the result which is most desired. We have reached a time when party amounts to little. Country is above all, and wants an honest govern? ment by honest men. Belief that we will find it in you has led to your elec? tion. Yours very truly, W. H. Vanderdilt. New York, November 7tb, 1884.

At half-past 8 o'clock yesterday even? ing as the passenger train on the South Carolina Railway, due in Charleston at 9:38 o'clock, was running into Reeves's a misplaced switch threw it on the side track against a freight train. Both engines were smashed to atoms, as the passenger train was running at a frightful rate, estimated at forty-five miles an hour. Engineer J. C. Hunui cutt was instantly killed, being crushed into a jelly, and Fireman McKoy, colored, was badly injured. The passengers were jarred and thrown from their seats, but no harm was done to them. The engineer and fireman were the only persons injured. The body of the engineer and the wounded fireman came iu on the train at 2:15 this morning. The engineer leaves a family in Atlan? ta, Georgia. A large crowd was at the Line street Station, notwithstanding the unseasonable hour this morning to see the train come in. The body of the en? gineer was a ghastly sight and the fire? man was moaning piteously. A passenger told a Reporter of the News and Courier that the effect of the jar was terrible, throwing people ten feet from their seats, and in some instances against the top of the car. Both engines and about twenty cars were wrecked.? Neu)e and Courier, Nov. 6. In addition to the particulars pub? lished yesterday in regard to the accident at Reeves's Station on Wed? nesday night, it has been learned that W. Wade, the mail agent on the passenger train, was very badly hurt, having two of his ribs broken and being otherwise bruised. He returned yester? day to his home in Columbia. session at Reeve's Station yesterday from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m., taking evidence as to the cause of the collision between trains 52 and 31 of the South Carolina Railway on the siding at that place on Wednes? day night. A large number of witnesses, both employees of the railroad and citi? zens of Reeves's, were carefully exam? ined and the evidence was clear that train 31 had pulled in on the siding, this being her meeting point witb train 52. That it was the intention of the conduc? tor of train 31 to do some switching while waiting for train 52; that he in? structed brakeman A. T. Doyle to open the west switch so that tho switching could be done; that Engineer John Brothers, of u-ain 31 objected to doing the switching until after No. 52 had passed. That 52 left Branchville on time and arrived at Reeves's on time, her schedule speed being thirty-five miles an hour. That as 52 struck the west switch Engineer Hunnicutt discovered that the switch was wrong, and that he was on the eve of a fearful collision. It was proven by employees and passengers on the train that the air brakes were applied and the engine reversed before the shock of the collision, but that the space was too short for.Hunnicutt to save his train, which he was evidently trying to do when he lost his life. The conductor and brakeman of 31 deny changing the switch, but the switch was found in perfect order and adjusted on the main track immediately after the collision. It was impossible for 52 to have gone on the siding unless the switch had been set for the siding, which was evidently the case, the.switch having been changed alterward. Alfter a long and careful deliberation over all the evidence, the jury, at 6 o'clock, brought in a verdict that Engi? neer Hunnicutt had met his death from the collision caused by the criminal carelessness of Brakeman A. T. Doyle, and that Conductor. D. W. Cannon was accessory before the act. The.-e two persons were arrested by acting Coroner Weeks, and they will be committed to jail to stand their trial, unless bail is furnished, which will probably be done. ?News and Courier, ftov. 7. The Next House of Representatives. In the 49th Congress, March 4, 1885, to March 4,1887, there will be 325 Rep? resentatives. According to a list pub? lished by the New York Herald on Saturday, these will be divided as fol? lows: Democrats, 185; Republicans, 138; People's party, 2. The Democratic majority will be about 45. There is, therefore, a considerable diminution of Democratic strength, which was to be expected, inasmuch as a tids.l wave swept over the country when the members of the 48th Congress were elected and the Democrats then made gains which they could hardly expect to hold. The latest dispatches, moreover, make some changes in the relative strength of the two par? ties. The whole of the Congressmen elect from California are Republicans, which is a loss of six, but the Democrats gain four in Indiana. In Iowa the Republi? cans gain two and in Michigan the Dem? ocrats, or Fusionists, gain two. The Democrats gain, also, in Florida, Ala? bama, Virginia and North Carolina. It will be some days before the results in all the districts are determined, but the Democrats are sure to have a handsome majority. It will be less than their present majority, which was, indeed, rather unwieldly, and, at times, a source of embarrassment. There will be a good many changes in the composition of the House of Repre? sentatives. The Democrats lose Frank Hurd, of Ohio, the most aggressive tariff reformer in that body. But it is a com? pensation to find that Mr. Converse, who is just the reverse of Mr. Hurd, is like? wise defeated. On the other hand, Mr. Morrison, a pronounced tariff reformer, is re-elected, and Mr. S. S. Cox, of New York, who has been advocating tariff revision for years and years, is re-elected by 15,000 majority. It is very evident that the people have not turned their back upon the tariff reformers, and the Democratic party is pledged to a revision of the tariff. R. G. Horr, of Michigan, is happily beaten, and so is the wretched Kellogg, of Louisiana. J. B. Belford, of Colorado, "the redheaded roarer of the Rocky Mountains," has returned to private life, in company with the imaginative T. P. Ochiltree, of Texas. Finerty, the Chicago dynamiter, and Robinson, the Brooklyn blatherskite, are left at home, and ex-Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, and Gtn Rosin:ran?, of California, wi 1 not be in the next House. The loss of the bitter Calkins, of Indiaua, is a gain to the cause of reform and good feeling. Geni Bragg, of Wisconsin, whose cour? ageous words in the Chicago Convention are-well remembered, is elected; and so is Gen. John C. Black, who was chair? man of the Illinois delegation. All the old members of National reputation, we believe, are elected, and W. D. Kelley, Hiscock, Hewitt, Springer, Randall and others will be found in their seats as usual. The next House of Representatives will be a strong body, and from it the country will have a right to expect prac? tical legislation, looking to a reduction of expenditures and an alleviation of the burdens upon the people. Something of the kind will probably be attempted this winter, but we cannot expect much from the 48th Congress which meeting in December, will adjourn sine die on March 4th, a day to be made forever memorable by the inauguration of Grover Cleveland as President of the United States. ? Ben Butler kept Massachusetts from being a Cleveland State, and came near defeating the Democratic party in New York. The old reprobate will drink a deep draught of humiliation. ?

It is curious how a man can fool him? self. Two or three days before the elec? tion I had made up my mind and become reconciled to defeat, for I had been read? ing both sides pretty close and had given it up. So I mustered up all my philoso? phy and imagined I was prepared for anything. But I wasn't. I was fooling myself. 1 wouldn't go to Atlanta Tuesday to seethe Cons/ftutfon'^jack-o-my-lantern. I went to town and voted and came back borne early for I didn't want to stay and hear bad news. Next morning I went out on the big road to fix a broken gate and I thought maybe somebody would come along and tell me the ncwa without my asking, but nobody came but a darkey and he didn't know anything. I went to' the house nnd ruminated and tried to be calm and serene but I couldn't and kept looking down the big road for somebody to come and break the news and I was afraid somebody would come, and the news would be bad. I've been to the dentist's afore now to have an aching tooth pulled and was glad to find the door locked and the dentist gone. So I waited another hour for somebody to come from town and then went off to tho field to work. About noon a man came along and hailed me with a hurrah for Cleveland and he hurried on before I could ask him the news. But it sounded favorable and hoped me up some. At two o'clock another man came by and said Cleveland was elected but I wasn't satisfied and so I didn't cut up nor evo lute, but by and by when I got my mail and read "Victory" in great big letters at the head of the column I was over? whelmed with a thankful and joyful sur? prise. There was not a soul at home but me and tbt. dog and cat and in as much as they couldn't understand any gymnastics I kept my seat placidly by the fire and felt good all over all by myself us I read the crowing and the rejoicing that filled the columns of the Constitution. I was just thinking about going over to tell the news to nabor Munford, for he said that if Cleveland was elected he knowed he would have a fit and I wanted to see what kind of a fit it would be. General Young told me that the first thing that he would do would be to indulge for a day or two iu some artificial elation and then subside and reform and join the church, for reform was the watch-word of the party and we all ought to reform out of gratitude. But it does look like the good things of this life don't last long. I hadent re? joiced very long before I got to feeling sorry for the other side. Sorry for some clever men who were in office and would have to step down and out. I was even sorry for Mr. Blaine. The good book says we must rejoice with those that re? joice and weep with those that weep and I was trying my best to do both. I don't care bo much about the men but it hurts me to see their wives and children disap? pointed and distressed. When a good man iS'in office and needs it for the sup? port of bis family I don't think I could turn him out, J don't think I could, and that is one thing that made inc like Grover Cleveland, for they say that when he was first elected Governor of New York he never turned out but one man. Well, that may do in New York but it won't do at Washington. The rascals must all go and there are lots of them. Mr. Cleveland will be doing enough for them to pardon them out of the peniten? tiary when they get there. Reform is what tbe nation wants. The tariff is a little thing compared with it. But while I ruminated on these things and was feeling comfortable and compla? cent over my own generous feelings to? wards a fallen foe, a feller came along with the news that New York had gone for Blaine and so I just collapsed and wilted and felt as humble nnd helpless as a dead nigger. I lost all my philoso? phy in half a minute and felt like I dident have a friend in the world. Mrs. Arp was away off in Rome and the girls were in town and the children were at school. The dog came creeping in to tbe fire and I kicked him out and then I got sorry for him and called him back again. When tbe children came home I dident indulge in my usual loving greetings nor ask who was head and how they got a long but I moped around and looked solemn until Jessie said, "Papa, you are sick aint you ?" By and by nabor Freeman dropped in. I knew he would come if Blaine was elected for he is sorter on that side of the fence and I never join issue with him in an unpleasant way about it, for he is a good nabor and that beats politics and be has just as much right to bis opinion as I have to mine. But I knew that if he found out Blaine was elected he would come down to jubilate a little and tee what I had to say about it. So I never let on btit brightened up and made out like it was just what I expected and it dident make any difference either to him or to me. I never gave him any chauce to crow over me, but I was home sick all the same. I can't hear to be lifted away up yonder aud 'tben have all the props knocked from under. I don't mind com? ing down on a sliding scale but it hurts me to fall so far and so heavy of a sud? den. Now here it is again, and the same old "Victory" at the mast head and both side? claiming it. But my faith is now shaken and I'm going to stay down on the ground until I know more than I do now. I'm sorry for nabor Munford for they say he has a fit every morning be? cause Cleveland is elected and another in the evening because he aint, and General Young is in a bad fix, too, and nobody knows when he will be ready to join the church. But there is no sense in mourning and cavorting over politics. If Blaine is elected I'm going to make tbe best of it and be like the feller who swam around old Noah's ark and asked to be let in and when old Noah shook his head he swam off to a floating log and straddled it and said he dident believe there was going to be much of a shower no how. Roland told me to day that politics dident bother him much in time of peace, but he heard that . Bob Toombs said there would be another revolution before long sand he reckoned they would let a poor man fight a little when it did come. That's so. They will let a poor man fight. Bill Ari\ ? The talk in some quarters about hard times must be mere nonsense. This conclusion is justified by the fact that during the past three months the lnbor iDg classes of ihe country have spent many millions of dollars for banners, transparencies, badges, uniforms, gun? powder nnd othei luxuries. Within the past week millions of dollars have been wasted in the voluntary suspension of work and business indulged by at least five million voters in the country at large. This does not look like hard limes. The masses of the people are not suffering. They have plenty to eat and to wear, and they are able to spare time and spend money in jubilating over the promised return of honest governmeut. ? Quite a number of those who con? template going to ArkansK* from White Hall, Abbeville County, are "weakening" on the trip, nnd well they may. ? Some time ago some one entered the stable of Mr. E. A. Davis, of Middle Township, Orangeburg County, and cut a fine mare of his in the flank, from the effect of which she died. ? It is Btated that the coming semi tropical fruit is the Japanese persimmon, known as the Pannrasche. It has been recently introduced into Florida, where it flourishes finely. It is about as large as a Bartlett pear, of golden color, sweet, juicy and delicious. If. bears irnnsr-orta lion well. BIninc Lying to the Last. Augusta, November?7. Blaiiie is in constant telegraphic communication with Steve Elkins and the Republican Nation? al Committee. This evening be is re? ported to have said: "I feel entirely confident that the honest vote of New York, without change or manipulation, will show a plurality lor the Republican electors of not le3s than 1,500 votes. I do not speak idly, but from the most accurate data, careful? ly furnished me from the most competent sources." Mr. Blaiue added that the dispatch of Daniel Manning, published yesterday, contained the most arrogant and offen? sive threat to control the election re? turns in the interest of tbe Democratic ticket ever made in any Northern State, and that it equalled tbe worst bulldozing proclamations ever issued in the South. He thought its effect would be to arouse tbe law-abiding citizens of New York, who cannot afford to have their State reduced to the level of lawlessness pre? vailing in South Carolina and Mississip? pi. The gentleman asked Mr. Blaiue if he felt much disappointment over tbe pos? sible prospect of losing the Presidency by such means. Mr. Blaine answered : "I do not feel so in any personal sense, but profoundly so on account of. the vast national inter? ests depending on the result. I feel great pride that no imputation of fraud has ever been seriously uttered against tbe members of tbe Republican party in any State or District. I do not believe the American people will accept-a fraud? ulent result. Tbe Republicans have carried the Northern Stales by more than 300,000 majority, and they do not propose to have the leading State taken from them by fraud." ? Capt. Kostowitz, the Russian aero? naut, is quite confident that he has solved the problem of steering a balloon which is being constructed at St. Petersburg. It is of the shapo of a huge cigar, driven by a screw, but it is also provided with sails. The inventor calculates that his air ship will be able to make 1C0 miles an hour with an equipage of 16 men, 10,000 pounds ballast, and an engine of 50-horse power. The whole balloon, with its ap? purtenances, will be 800 feet long and SO feet high, and will probably make its first excursion from St. Petersburg in a few weeks. ? Philadelphia has a "professor" who "blanches" red noses for from ?5 to $20 a nose. He first applies leeches, then galvanizes tbe nose "to restore the elas? ticity of the arterial and venous fibrus," and then applies a mould of plaster of Paris. In less than a week he declares that the nose has regained its natural shape and proper color. ? A shooting affray occurred in Edge field County last week between Mr. W. R. Lott and Mr. Scrap Swindler, in which tbe latter received serious wounds in the arm and side. The shooting re? sulted from a quarrel about a dog. ? When the vote was counted at Due West on Tuesday night, John C. McDill telegraphed to Blaine that Due West was against him and that his chances were gone. ? Rum-filled walking-sticks are a new wnnkle with swell New Yorkers. Suck? ing cane heads will no longer appear such a senseless operation as it used to, but it will be much more suspicious. ?

TOWERS, No. 4 Granite Row, Anderson. S. C. August 7, 1884 4 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 Broyles' Building on Main Street to McCully's Corner on the Public Square ? Smiths' old stand. In the first place these men eudcavor,by watching their business closely, to 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 pleuty of Blue Stone for soaking it all; and so when the bilious seasons come they have always on hand a plenteous supply of Liver Regulators, Pills, &c, and in the chills and fever time they double their stock of Quiniue and Chill Cures of all kinds. And even so in the season when "youngjnen's fancies .'lightly turn," &c, that is, along about Christmas, you can always find there' what yo'i want in the way of beautiful Celluloid Sets, hand? some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented ?.nd elegantly decorated Perfumed Bottles, Ladies' Work Eoxes, lovely Mirrors and Fancy Articles of every description. It is true they keep a stock of all these things throughout the year, but they try to regulate the quantities to suit the season, fojr which they nrerparticularly adapted ; and while-even i.i Spring and Summer they keep their stock of Lamps full, you will find that they have now on hand tue largest and best selected stock of Library, Extension' Stand and Hand L?mps they have ever kept before?it is really worth a walk over there to see the display. Another significant fact is, that the Junior partner, who is t\c Druggist, sleeps on the Public Square, in easy ac? cess to those wishing Prescriptions or Medicines prepared at night. Anderson, S. C, Oct. lb', 1SS4. II TlOSf JJtTtRISTEO I WE hereby notify all indebted tj K. S. Hill it Co. that the Firm at Anderson, S.C., will be dissolved by mutual consent on 1st January next, and for this reason wc must hai'c ail the money due us ou any account this Fall. We fully reali/.e the fact that times aro hard, but we have to pay our debts, wet or dry ; and we cannot, in justice to ourselves, be as indulgent in "carrying over" as we have been in the past. We hope every one who entertains a thought of being "carried"' will tako this uotice person? ally to himself, asjwc propose in every instance to collect where the money can be made by law. We give this notice thus early so that arrangements may be made accordingly. 11. S. Hill will continue the business at the same stand, and he hopes to be better able than ever before to supply all the wants of those who promptly pay their debts. We now have on hand a very large Stock of General Merchandise, which is being sold as low as the lowest, and we would simply ask tin inspection of those "looking around." Very Respectfully, B. S.
