?T~B. MOBKAY, Editor. THURSDAY NOVEMBER IS, ISM TBRM? i OHE YE AB..-.-?1.80. SIX MONTHS.-.. 7flc. Two DolUr? If not paid In r.drance. The Isle election wen s glorious one for the country. It not only "turned the rascals out," but lt buried Blaine and Butler, two of America's mont dangerous and unprincipled demagogues. The letter B r.as a fatal initial letter for Presidential candidates ibis year. Butler, Blaine and Belva were all snowed under by tbe popular ballot on the 4th. Its neighbor C bore off thc In?rela this time. The Democrats 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 thc sentiment of the people remains firmly Democratic. mgm - The last echoes of tho late war are now gone. Every State in which Blnine flaunted tho bloody shirt went for the Democratic ticket. The Republicans are beaten, and with them the sectional I ternes8 of the 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 nil their trouble and expense in the luto election by the removal of thrro speci men Radical ellice holders, if it did nothing more. Tboso three men aro District-Attorney Samuel W. Melton, the renegade jury packer ; Taft, the bitter and vindictive Charleston Postmaster, and Internal Revenue Collector E. M. Brayton, wbo has filled our mountain Counties with bis malicious undcrstrap pera to harass and annoy tho honest people of those Counties, more than to ferret nut the criminals. Of course, these oro ouly incidents of Tuesday's grand victory, bul tb? incidentals in this case would compensate for the trouble, even if tho main glories of the victory were not a greater reward. Thc people of South Carolina wore so anxious for Cleveland's election that when the news of this grand event came they could not realit 5 its truth. They had become so accustomed to defeat that although they did their duty nobly on the day of election, yet they had no idea of being revardod by tbe election of their mau. An the good news began to be confirmed, however, the unbounded enthusiasm of the peoplo burst forth and, from onojend of tbe State to the other, cannon boomed, bands played, men oheered, and the bonfires and torch lights glared throughout tho State. It has been a grand jubilee over a glorious deliver ance. For all these blessings our peoplo should be duly grateful. This victory more than compensates for the drought? and financial stringency of the past two years. It ls a deliverance from tyranny, fraud and corruption. Such a deliver * ance was well calculated to call forth tbe peana of a happy, and once again, free people. The Associate Press sent out false dis patches about the Presidential* election in New York until last Friday tbe 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 ifaeir Republican deceivers, and marched the streets of tbe city keeping time to the shout of "Hang, hang, hang, Jay Gould," the principal or?cer of the Associate Press Company's stock. Gould could not be found in the city, and immediately be 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 tho Associate Press had 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 tensper to be fooled t?itb, and 'Immediate*? ?waad br. tiVfl truth. Thia feeling in New York ensures a fair count anda triumphant inauguration of the Democratic President. PICAOS RESTO UKO. . The effort? made by tho 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 moro counting out . by corrupt Returning /Boards and venal Commissions. This timo the volco of the peoplo will be heard and obeyed. The Republicana well understand the temper of the people, that thora is n point beyond which they cannot go, that they have ; reached that point in fraud, corruption and rascality, and that nnothor steal of the Presidency will precipitate a revolution which will overwhelm theo. They may for a short . time bluster and die bard, bnt this is all they cen do, and the verdict of a great, poppte declares they are unv/ortby of the trusta reposed In thom, and that they most give place to honest, Upright and honorable men? - The election of Grover Cleveland ia the moat important political ?vent which bas occurred einco ibo adoption of tho Constitution In 178?. All parties pre vi : . : ona to the war were patriotic and honest, and) tho supremacy of any one or more of them did not endanger Constitutional government. Since the CIOJO of the war the Republican party bas been revolu tionary, Rational and] 'jomipt. Ita whole alni hoi been to divide the country Into two sections, and maintain Ita supremacy by arraying tho stronger. section < against the weaker, and continuing ti state of quasi war between them. Tho war cloted sear twenty years ago, tho South has been loyal and devoted to the Constitu tion and govordment, aud yet that party during all Ibis time baa dono allin its power by oppressive legislation, corrupt Federal Judges, unprincipled United States District Attoruoye, packed juries and mercenary marshals, to barra* the Southon* people/ to array the colored population against the white, and pro duco all tho discord possible, ?bat they : n alight wa*;? tb* bloody -.-Virt, and thereby continue in power, and turn attention from their corruption and stealing*. The inauguration of l'reaident Cleveland means that ALL THIS is at cud ; that our government ls by the people.;'or the whole people. There will no long jr 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 lucite thc colored people to riot and bloodshed must leave, and their places ?upplied by honest and upright men who will see that every man, white and colored, has his rights cecured to him.

Y., November 8 -There was no decrease in the number of con gratulatory dispatchea received by Gov ernor Cleveland to-day. Colonel La mount, the governor's private secretary and several attaches of tho oflice were comtantly employed lu 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 ?overnor'a mnil is also exceedingly large, 'he executive chamber was thronged with visitors all day, and many of them shook the governor by tho hand. Among the callers were, Congressmen Wm. Dorsbeimer, ex Secretary Treasury Ben jamin F. Bristow, ex-Senator Risby, Richard Vaux. Senator Michael C. Mur phy, and Colonel John R. Fellows, Bernard R. Gillman, ono of the leading mints of Puck, also called and paid his respects to the governor. Tho following otter was received by the governor from Wm. II. Vanderbilt : Hon. Orovet Cleveland-My Dear Sir ; -I congratulate you and the people of .he whole country upon your election to ;he presidency of the United States. x"ou owe your election, in my opinion, to ho foot that the people believed you to JO an honest man, and not to any partie* liar e fib rtii mado by any faction of either Democratic or Republican parties.

At half-past 8 o'clock yesterday even ing aa the passenger trniu on the routh Carolina Knit way, duo io Charleston nt 9:38 o'clock, waa running into Beeves's a misplaced twitch threw it on the side track against a freight train. Both engines were smashed to atoms, as the passenger train wan running at n frightful rate, estimated nt forty-five miles an hour. Engineer J. C. Hunni cutt was instantly killed, being crushed ; into a jelly, and Fireman McKoy, colored, was badly injured. The passengers were jarred and thrown from their cents, but no bunn WHS done 10 them. The engineer and fireman were the only persons injured. The body of the engineer and the wounded 11 i ennui came in on the train at 2:15 this morning. The engineer leaves a family in Atlan ta, Georgia. A large crowd was at tho Line street Station, notwithstanding tbe unseasonable hour this morning to seo the train ernie in, Thc body of tho en gineer was a ghastly sight p.ud the (Ire mar, was moauing piteously. A passenger told a Ueporter of tho Weit? and Courier that the effect of tho jar wus terrible, throwing peoplu ten feet from their seats, and in some instances against thc top of the car. Both engines and iibout twenty cars wore wrecked. A?if? and Courier, Nov. ti. In addition to the particulars pub lished yesterday in regard to tho ?accident nt Beeves's Station on Wed nesday nigbt, it bas been learned that W. Wade, the mail agent on ibo passenger train, was very badly hurt, having two of his ribs broken and being Otherwise bruised. Ile returned yester day to his hume in Columbia. The coroner's jury of inquest ?vus in session ;<t Reeve's Station yesterday from 8 a. m. to <i p. m., taking evidence ns to the cause of thc collision between trains 52 und31 ol' the South Carolina Railway on the hiding at that place on Wednes day night. A lur^e number of witnesses, both employ?es of the railroad and citi zens of Beeves's, were carefully exam ined mid thc evidence wns clear that train .'ll had pulled in on thc tiding, this being her meeting point with train 52. That it was thc intention of the conduc tor of train 31 to do some switching while waiting for train 02; that he in struct! d brakeman A. T. Doyle to open the west switch so that thc switching could be done; that Engineer John Brothers, of train .'ll objected to doing the switching until aller No. 52 hail passed. That 52 left Branchville on time and arrived at Beeves's on time, her schedule hpecd being thirty-live miles an hour. That us <r>2 struck the west switch Engineer iluunicutt discovered that the switch was wrong, and that he was on the eve of a ftnrful collision. Il was proven by employees and passengers on thu train thal thc air brakes, were upplied and the engine reversed before the shock of tho collision, but ihul tho spucc was too short for Hunnicutt to save his train, which ho was evidently trying to do when he lost his life. Tho conductor and brakeman of 31 deny chancing the switch, but thc switch wns found in perfect order and adjusted on thc main track immediately after the collision. It was impossible for ,72 to have gone on the siding unlesi the switch had been set for thc siding, which was evidently the ens-e, thc switch having been changed afterwurd. Altera long and careful deliberation 1 over all the evidence, the jury, at (5 o'clock, brought in a verdict that Engi neer Hunnicutt had met his dcutb from the collision caused by the criminal carelessness of Brakeman A. T. Doyle, and that Conductor D. W. Cannon W.IH accessory before the act. Thes-c two persona were arrested by acting Coroner Weeks, and they will be committed to jail to stand their trial, unless bail is furnished, which will probably bo dune. -Arte* and Courier, IVov. 7. The Next House of Representative.*. In the 49tb Congress, March 4, 1885, to March 4, 1887, there will be 325 Rep resentatives. According to a Hst pub lished by the New York Herald on Saturday, these will be divided as fol lows: Democrats, 185; Republican*, 138 ; People's party, 2. The Democratic majority will be about 45. There is. therefore, n considerable diminution of Democratic strength, which was to be expected, inasmuch as n tidal 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 twn ami in Michigan the Dem ocrats, or Fusion iota, gain two. The Democrats gain, also, in Florida, Ala bama, Virginia and North Carolina. It will be some dayn 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 w>a, indeed rather unwi?ldly, and, at times, a source of embarrassment. There will be a good many changes in the composition ot the Houso of Repre sentatives. Tbe Democrats lose Frank Hurd, of Ohio, tho most aggressive tariff reformer in that body. But it ia a com pensation to lind tba . Mr. Converse, who SB just the reverse of Mr. Hurd, ie like wise defeated. On the other band, Mr. Morrison, a pronounced tariff reformer, is re-elected, and Mr. 8. S. Cox, of New York, who has been advocating tarin revision for years and years, ia re-elected by 15,000 majority. It ls very evident that the people have not turned their back upon the turill reformers, and tho D?mocratie party ii Sledged to a revision. of the tariff. R, f. Horr, of Michigan, ia happily beaten, and so is the wretched Kellogg, ol Louisiana. J. R. Belford, of Colorado, "tho redheaded roarer of the Rock) Mountains/' has returned to private life in company with the imaginative T. P Ochiltree, of Texas. Finerty, tb? Chicago dynamiter, and Robinson, tlx Brooklyn blatherskite, are left at home and ex-Senator Eaton, of Connecticut and Qtn Ro?n:r<mr, of California, wi 1 not bo in the next Mouse. The loss oi tho bitter Calkins, of indiana, is a gaie to tho cans* of rofoic ?nd good feeling G en i Bragg, of Wisconsin, whoso cour ageous words in the Chicago Convention nrc wei I remembered, is elected ; and s< ia Gen. John C. Block, .who was chair mao of the Illinois delegation. All th< old members of National reputation. w< believe, are elected, and W. D. Kelley Hiscocr, Hewitt, Springer, R?.adall and others-will be found Ja their seats ai usual. ? : ? Tho next House of Representatives will bela Btranggbody, and from it th? country ?ill Have a right to expect prac tical legislation, looking to a reduction o expenditures and an alleviation of tb? burdens upon the people. Something ol tb? kind will probably ba attempted thii winter, hut we cannot expect much fron the 48th Congress which meeting it December, will adjourn tine die on Maret 4th, a day to bo made forever memorabt? by the inauguration of Grover Clovclaiu as President of tba United States. -i .. i sw -Hr ^ Ben Bu tier kept Vasaaofausetta fron being a Chmrand State, and came nea defeating tho De moo? alic party in Nei York.

Atlanta I bnttitntioHt Il ix curious bow a man cati fool him self. Two or three days before the elec tion I had made up my mind mid become reconciled to defeat, for I hud been read ing both sides pretty cloie and bad given it up. So I mustered up all my philoso phy and imagined I was prepared for I anything. Hut I wasn't. I was fooling myself. I wouldn't go to Atlanta Tuesday to see the Cotittilutwn'* jack-o-my -lantern. I went to town and voted anti came back home early for 1 didn't want lo atay anti bear bad news. Next morning I went out on the big road to lix a broken gate and I thought maybe somebody would come along an?! tell me the ncwd Without my asking, bul nobody came but a darkey and bc didn't know anything. I went to" thc house ami ruminated and tried to be calm and serene but I couldn't anti kent looking down the big road for somebody to come and break the news and I was afraid somebody would come, und the news would bc bad. I've been to the dentist's afore now to have au aching tooth pulled and was glad to lind the door locked and th? dentist gone. So I waited another 1 for somebody lo come from town 1 went off to ilia field to work. Al in amati came tilting ami bailed 3 a hurrah for Cleveland and he lr ned on before I could ask him the news. Hut il sounded favorable and hoped me up some. At two o'clock another man came by and sahl 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 heail of the column I was over whelmed willi a thankful anti joyful sur prise. There was not a soul at home but mc arni tin dog ami cat and in as much UH they couldn't understand any gymnastics I kept my .-eat placidly by the lire and felt good all over nil by myself as I read the crowing nod thc rejoicing that tilled the columns of the Constitution. I was just thinking about going over to tell the news to nabor .Munford, for he said thal il Cleveland was elected he knowed be would have n lit anti 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 lo indulge ftir a day or two in nome artificial elation lind then Hiibside and reform and join tho church, for reform was thc watch-word of (he party ami we all ought lo reform out of gratitude. Hut it tines look like the good things of this life don't last long. I hadent re juiced wry long before I got to feeling sorry for thc other sitie. Sorry for some clever men who were in ollice mid would have to step down ami out. I was even sorry for Mr. Blaine. Tho good book says wo must rejoice with those that re joice and weep with those that weep ntitl I was trying my best to do both. I don't care so much about the men hut it hurts me to see their wives and children disap pointed and distressed. When a good man ii*'in ollice and needs it for thc sup port of his family I don't think leonid turn him out, F don't think I could, and that is one thing that made mc like Grover Cleveland, for they say thal when he was first elected Governor of New York he never turned out hut one man. Well, that may do in New York but it won't do nt 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 the nation wants. The tariff is a litllo thing compared with it. Hut while I ruminated on these things and was feeliog 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 Hlnino and so I just collapsed and wilted and felt ns humble and helpless ns a dead nigger. I Install my philoso phy in half n minute and felt like I tl id'eni have a friend in the world. Mrs. Arp ?77ay off in I* -in nr.d the girls were in town and the children were at school. The dog came creeping in to the tire nnd I kicked him out and then I got norry for him and called him back again. When the children came home I dident indulge in my usual loving greetings nor nsk who was head and how they got along but I moped ?round and looked i-olemn until Jesaie esirl, "I'apa, you are sick alnt you ?" By and by uabor 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 io an unpleasant way about it, for he h a good nabor and tbat beats politics ana be bas just as much right to bis opinion as I bave to mine. But I knew that if be found out Blaine wan elected he would :ome down to jubilate a little anJ i-ee tvhat I hud to say about it. So I never let on b%t brightened up und made out like it was just what I expected and it dident make any difference either tn him >r to me. I never gave him any chance to crow over me, but I was home sick all the same. I can't henr to be lifted away up yonder and 'then havo all the props knocked from under. I don't mind com ing down on a sliding Beale but it hurts mo to fsll ?o far nnd so heavy ol n mid ien. Now here it is nguin, and the same old "Victory" at tho mast head and both ddes claiming it. Hut my faith is now ...haken 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 BBV he bas a fit every morning be cause Cleveland is elected and another in the evening because heaint, and General Young is in a bad fix, ton, and nobody knows when he will be ready tn join the church. Hut there is no Renne in mourning and cavorting over politics. If Blaine is elected I'm going to make the best of it nnd be like the feller who swam around old Noah's ark and asked tn be let in and when old Noah shook his head he awain off to a floating lng and straddled it and said he dident believe there was goiug to be much of a shower no how. Roland told me to-day tbat politics dident bother him much in time of peace, but ho heard that Bob Toomba said there would be another revolution before long anti he reckoned they would leta poor man fight a little when it did come. That's so. They will let a poor man fight. BILL ARP. - Tho talk in some quarters about bard times must be mere nonsense. This conclusion . is justified by the fact that during the past three months the labor ing claves of the country have spent many millions of dollars for' banners, transparencies, badges, uniforms, gun powder and othei luxuries. - Within tho past week millions of dollars have been wasted in the voluntary suspension of work and business indulged by ut least Uve million voters in the country at large. This does not look like bard times. 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 government - . -j Quite a number ?r those who con? template going to Arkansas from White Hall, Abbeville County, are "weakening" sn the trip, abd well they. may.

Ulniue is in constant telegraphic communication with Steve Elkins anti the Republican Nation al Committee. This evening be in re ported to have said : "I feel entirely confident thal the honest vote of New York, without change or manipulation, will show a plurality fur the Republican electors of not les?? than 1,^00 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 int election re turns in the interest of the Democratic ticket ever made in any Northern State, ami that it equalled the worst bulldozing proclamations ever issued in the South. He thought it? effect would be to aroute thc law-abiding citizens of New York, who cannot afford to have their Slale reduced to the level of lawlessness pre vailing in South Carolina and Mississip pi. The gentleman asked Mr. Blaine if bc felt much disappointment over the 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 utfered against the members of the Republican party in any State ?ir District. I do not believo the American people will accept a fraud ulent result. Ttie Republicans have carried the Northern Slates by more than .'500,000 majority, and they do not propose lo have tho leading Stale taken from them by fraud." - Capt. Kostowitz, the Russian aero naut, is quite confident that ho lins solved the problem of steering a balloon which is being constructed nt St. Petersburg. It is nf the shape of a hugo cigar, driver? by a screw, but it is also provided willi sails.

August7? 188*. ia y-.'- lui y A CARD. WE would like to cal! to the attention of tho people of Anderdon County a fow siguila-ant facta concerning tho Drug Store of HILL BltOS., recently moved from Broyles' Building on Main Street to McCully'a Corner on the Public Square - Smiths' old stand. In the first place these men eudaavor.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 scud 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 tiley have plenty of Blue Stone for soaking it all ; and so when the bilious seasons como they have alwavs on hand a plenteous supply of Liver Regulators, Pills, &c, and fa the chills and fever time they double their stock of Quinine and Chill Cures of all kinds. And even so in the season when '?younp men's faqcies 'lightly turn," &c., t?mt is, ?long about Christmas, you eau always find thora' wft?r you want in the way of beautiful Celluloid Set?, hand some Dressing Cases, deliciously scented i nd elegantly decorated Perfumed Bottles, Ladies' Work Boxes, lovely Mirrors and Fancy Articles of every description. It is true they keep a stock of ali these things throughout the year, but they try to regulate the quantities to suit the seasgn for which they nre,.parlicularly adapted ; and while even in Spring and Summer they keep their stock of Lamps full, you will lind that they have now on hand the largest and best selected stock nf Library, Extension, Stand and Hand Lamps they have ever kept before-it is really worth a walk over there to see tho display. Another significant fact is, that the Junior partner, who ia thc Druggist, sleeps on the Publie. Square, in easy nc cess to those wishing Prescriptions or Medicines prepared at night. Ander-..n, S.
