ou mmmmmx E. B, M?KKAY, Editor, THURSDAY-^ MARCH 10, 1884. TBRMSi -)?E YEAR.-...?.?..?1.?O. SIX MONTHS........_ 7?O. Two Dollars if not paid In advance. A $25,000 FIRE. The Moit Disastrous Conflagration that .. ' . ha? VJsited Anderson in Forty Year*. After an exemption from serious fires j aince the great fire of April, 1845, which burned off the old wooden buildings] which then enclosed tbe Public Square in Anderson, our city waa again on Mon? day night tbe scene of a disastrous burn - ing ou tbe North side of Depot street. About half-past ten o'clock Mr. John M Bubbard, while on his way home, dis? covered dense smoke issuing from the rear of the second story of-the brick . buildings on Depot street. He immedi ately gave the alarm, and a large crowd gathered rapidly at the scene of the fire, aud the Fire Company were promptly on - band and diligently at work. The great, black volume of smoke that issued from the second-story of the whole block, told at once that serious work was on band, and that the.fire was extending rapidly. The block of buildings bad a common, continuous tin roof, tbe timbers for the] celling extending across the walls. There : were also, numerous openings in the walls, by which fire could communicate from one lo another. It was almost impossible to locate the fire, and as a consequence some time and work wax expended without profit, and the flames soon burst out in the second story of| Moss & Brown, and Dennis O'DonnellV ^tore rooms. Tbey were then past con trol, and tbe firemen directed their work to retarding the burning; which it was evident they could not. prevent, thus enabling the merchants along the line to have most of their, goods carried out before the flames reached the lower story. The losses by the fire were as follows: Mrs. E. A. Bell, store-room, Valued ut j - fSCOO.OO. Injured for$2000.00.~ Mr. D. 8^ Taylor, stock of goods bad? ly damaged by wafer and waste in re? moval; thought to'be covered by bis in Burance policy for 3500 00. Messrs. Mosa & Brown, store-room, val u'ed at $3000.00. Insu red for $2000.00. ? Stpck of goods valued at $7000.00, dam? aged by fire; water and waste in removal, about $4500.00, orj which there. was $3000 00 insurance. * Mr. Banister Allen, store room, valued at $2500.00, on which there was. no in : aojance. . Messrs B roqm & Allen - lost by damage in removing stock about three hundred dollars, on which there was ndinsurance. Mr. Dennis O'Doniell, store room valued at $3000.00, insured for $1700.00 Damage on stock in removing covered by insurance of $700 00. The estate of Mr. M. D. Kennedy, store-room valued at $3000.00, insured fur ? $2000.00. . ? Mjv G. F. Tolly, about $250.00, by removing, stock, tearing down fencing and Abed erections. The Anderson Journal, about fifty dollars in removing type, &c. Messrs. R. S. Hill & Co.. McCully, -' Cathcart & Co., Hill Bro., W. B. Todd. (sewing machine office.) John C. Whit field, Eiq., (law office,) and perhaps tome others moved many of their goods and furniture, but being further from the fire than others, sustained only slight ~ damage. , ? The ccene at the tbe fire1 waa one of wild, excitement and confusion, the *X crowd at times getting in the way of the firemen, and everybody pressing" up with a new plan to stop the burning. The1 firemen were inexperienced, and at firM wasted quantities of water, which served .? ? only to drench tbe crowd that was press ing around them, but as the fire pro gresaed and became thoroughly located, tbey got in some excellent work and arrested the flames, thereby saving a .great deal - of valuable property on tbe upper aide of the street. The citizeni* are delighted with tbe work of tbe Fire * Department, which in this one nlgbtV work has p*id for itself many times over The;bucket brigade waa also on hand, and did valuable service in saving tbe wooden building of Mr. G. F. Tolly, which stands about fifty feet from tbe burned buildings. The people generally did good work in removing goods from tbe burning stores, and tbe police promptly aud efficiently guarded them, so that there was very little if any pilfering at the fire. Oo Tuesday morning, two barrel cans of kerosene "oil were found boiling and uncoosumed in t he-fire in Moss & Brown's store. This shows that tbey kept an , excellent and safe quality of oil. The city also has reason to congratulate itself " that no serious accidents occurred at tbe fire. Messrs. E. Wahl, F. A. Spellmau, A. J. Means aud A. W. Todd received severe bruises, but able to be out the next morning. The whole damr.ge by the fire reaches from $20,000.00 to $25,000.00, most of which was covered by insurance. Mr. Banister Alien is the only one who sustained a heavy loss without any insu ranee. The buildings burued were old structures whose replacement by modern buildings will greatly benefit tbe looks of tbe city. Considering tbe dangerous location of the fire the city is to be con? gratulated on escaping without greater destruction. #_ The Charles City, (Iowa) Intelligencer Bays: UA lady who was among the receni vi-?i tors to New Orleans tells us she thinks ? it the nastiest city she ever saw; that the . people, an far aa she could see, have far more regard for the rebel stars and bars than for the loyal stripes and stars; thar Leo is regarded as a demigod, and Grant as a vulgar butcher; Davis in their eyes is a hero of heroes, and Lincoln a Coarse buffoon; aud to conclude, they welcome Northern people as geese thai lay goldeo fgg", whose presence is desir? ed only so long aa they pay liberally. This lady boarded at a private house, and beard talk enough to convince berof the ' absolute truth of the above report, so far as the average Southerner is concerned." Our friends of tbe Intelligencer have been imposed upon by a mixture of truth and error. In the South tbe char acters of Davis and Lee are greatly admired, because our people know they were pure and noble patriots who joined their pffople in contending for the theory of constitutional liberty which they believed was right, They were great men whose grand qualities the whole world admires, and histcry to day accords them credit for the contest which they made against enormous odds. They with the Southern people submitted their theory to the award of battle, and the decision was made against us. We ac? cept the interpretation which this court of last and highest resort has placed upon the government of the Union, and can now see that tbe decision was direct? ed by that "Power which doetb all things well," for it has opened up to the South a future prosperity and development which we could never have attained under the existing order of things for which we contended. Our people do not entertain the feelings attributed to them towards Lincoln and Grant. We do uot mean that persons cannot be found who entertain such. ideas, for in isolated instances they can, just as mumerous instances can be found in the North where people believe that Davis is a human hyena without principle of the instincts of humanity, and that Lee was a monster without parallel. But the seutimeot of the 8 uth recognises Lin col? and Grant as the two great expo? nents of tbe principles which triumphed. We do not consider Lincoln a polished man, but we recognize him as a great mind, with conscientious purposes rising to a high order of patriotism from bis stand point. In bis death the South suffered tbe greatest loss of the late war. So far from looking upon Grant as a butcher, the South regards htm as a humane soldier, who manifested real greatness in the noble magnanimity he displayed in victory. Whatever of un kind feeling exists towards Gen. Graut, grows out of the troubles which bis two administrations ? as President gave the South. Our friends of the Intelligencer ought to know thrse things without telling, and if they would only visit the South, as Col. McClure of the Poiladel pbia Times did, they would arrive at the same conclusions he reached. There is a lively contest for^ the posi? tion ot Commissioner of Agriculture under the new administration. Our Representative from this Congressional District, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, is being vigorously urged for tbe position, aud bus the endorsement of the Congression al delegation of, we believe, twenty-three States. Hon. F. C. Moorhead, of Mis hL-sippi, has tbe. endorsement of tbe National Cotton Planters Convention, fn addition to these there are several other applicants, and among them Hon. Thomas Hardemap, of Georgia, who is president of the Georgia State Agricul? tural Society. Of all the applicants Col. Aiken is the most strongly endorsed, and we believe him to be the best fitted for duties of the position.. He has made the theory of Agriculture a study for many years, and is thoroughly posted upon the various needs and difficulties of tbe agriculturalists of the Union. He ba? immense energy, and takes great pride in the performance of any duty which devolves upon him, and as Commissioner of Agriculture we believe he would make many, needed reforms in tbe Agricultural department of tbe government, and thereby give it an efficiency aud a value which it has never yet attained. We think the prominence, which Col. Aiken occupies in the Agricultural interests oi the country and tbe interest be ha* evinced in them entitle him to tbe ap I pointmentf. ? * A Washington dispatch of tbe 14th inst., says: "Secretary Lamar to day directed the Chief Cierk and Superinten? dent of the Interior Department to dis? pose of at public sale all tbe horses, carriages and equipments which are the property of the Interior Department, excepting those used fur trucking pur? poses, tbe proceeds of said sale to "fee covered into tbe treasury. Tbe sale is to take place as soon as consistent with tbe interest of tbe public service. Simi lar orders were issued by Attorney-Gen? eral Garland." This means that tbeae Cabinet officers will either walk to and from their offices each day or furnish their own conveyances. Their principle is correct and will doubtless be followed by tbe other members of tbe Cabinet. President Cleveland's first proclaraa tion is for the protection of the rights of the Indians upon their reservation lands. It is a little surprising, doubtless, to many people to learn that the Indiau has any rights in this country, but tbe President begins bis administration by showing that be intends to enforce the laws, and that tbe lowest class of resi? dents in tbe United States shall have equal and just protection under our laws. Everything indicates ibat the new Presi? dent is to be a President of tbe whole country, who will inspire respects for and obedience to our laws. m The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu? tionalist, says: "Senator Hampton has alway been a cherished and intimate friend of Presidents. We are pleased to hear that he is well again and expect to learn that Cleveland will become as fond of him as Arthur was and Garfield would have been. In this connection, it may be said that when Hampton declined 'o pool the patronage he showed superior wisdom." Three Homicides ia one Day. Lancaster, March J5.?Sara.

Sundays excepmL REIS FORCE TUE PETITIONS. | The Tempera njoa Movement Is Hero to Star CutU It Ends ta Victory. Mb. Editor: Your many readers throughout tbe County have been greatly pleased at your management of the dis? cussion en the prohibition question, with its especial connection with tbe meeting of our last Legislature, and tbe actions of our Representatives in reference to it. The article of Messrs. Towers aud Smith, exonerating you from all blame uand censure, was all very well, and certainly sets the matter complained of at rest; but tbe readers of your paper know full well that you have performed your whole duty in the premises, and that iu its dis i cussiou you had done nothing more than your duty as a journalist. From every friend of the cause you will receive the plaudit of "well done." Tbe reasons assigned for opposition to the petition, and a failure to push it through, are rather amusing to an out? sider than otherwise. One Representa? tive says, in tbe same article in which he discusses tbe proper translation and in? terpretation of the Psalms of David, after speaking ol the petitions and their circulation and signing, that "such an expression of opinion would not warrant a Representative man to favor the Bill." So tbe petitions we're all right, so far as their make up and siguing was concerned, but happened to be just a little too weak to warrant this particular Representative man to favor tbe measure. This is cer? tainly cool and complimentary to the twelve hundred and nine petitioners. As much as to say, you petitioners ask-to bt? allowed by law to regulate your own local affairs, but I am a Representative man, and your prayer is beneath my notice, and will not even justify me in favoring tbe Bill. Now, .Mr. Editor, the brazen effrontery of such talk fastet a tbe conviction upon the mind that such a Representative is the "Representative man" of bia own contracted ideas, and that if be has any ^supporters in this matter tbey exist only in his disordered imagination. Again it is said, that in the judgment of one of our Representatives, the repeal of the Local Option Law would be unwise and inexpedient. Twelve hun? dred and ninepetitionarsthink not. Tbey oelieve if allowed to regulate the matter for themselves by the votes of tbe people they can materially improve that law. fhis Representative thinks not, and therefore ignores the petition. This sume Representative, when a correspond , dent criticises his migratory life in search of office, says that the correspondent rertainly did not understand what "was due from one mau to another." Aud I was inclined to agree and sympathize with him, but when he serenely sets up uis judgment in opposition to tbe com? bined judgment of twelve hundred and nine petitioners, and then acts upon hi? own, it is certainly clear that be has no c inception of what is due from one man to another, or from a Representative to the people whom he represents. Tbe Local Option Law is not tbe matter under discussion, but if it was, much might be said against it. Under its operations the revenue realized from the -ale of whiskey comes principally oil of the people of the country, and goes entirely to build up incorporations. To - this iB added annually a very considera? ble amount in the way of fines from tbe people of tbe country, in consequence of the use of whiskey. If the people of the country, therefore, bear the burden, why not allow them to have saloons at any and every place in the County tbey see proper ? To the objection tbat there could be no police regulations in tbe country to preserve the peace, it may be well answered that men go to Anderson aud become intoxicated, and start for home well armed with jugs and bottles of whiskey to keep up and augment tbe intoxication, and though the police may spot and watch them, yet they manage to pass tbe limits of the city, and then upon every highway our wives aud daugh? ters are subjected to tbe unmanliness, indecency and insults of tbe intoxicated, both white and colored. It could not be much worse if sold every where. But to 'discuss this is not my purpose, and I therefore ask pardon for the digression. So far as.the Democracy of Andereon County becoming split and disrupted upon this question is concerned is, to my mind, one of the most improbable con? clusions imaginary. The principle which unites and cements us together political? ly is too pure, too full of devotion to home aud country, and the motives which prompt and actuate tbe people to bold and act together are too important and grand to admit of severing by this or any similar local questipn. Neither are the people to be deterred from regulating their own local affairs by tbe whims and croakings of politicians to desist lest they split the party. This question of prohibition the peo? ple of the County are going to decide for themselves. It is one of the coming events. It is like the current of a migh? ty river, grandly moving onward, and though for** short lime its progress may be impeded, it is all the while gathering additional strength, power and velocity for its future progress. Having nothing to do either with the circulation of the petitions or their mnoagemant, I am aot apprised, except by mere intimation as to what course those having the matter in charge will pursue in its future management. As authority of law is necessary to make any action of tbe people binding, and as this was the end sought by tbe petitions, a id is tbe usual and most'direct way of attaining the object in view, I am in favrr of renewing tbe petitions and swelling the number of petitioners until even a ''Representative man" will not only fetl "warranted to favor" it, but constrained to grant the request. This may be easily aud pleasantly done by holding meetings over the County during tbe summer, and allowing a full, free and fair discussion of the subject before the people. It is one of those questions that bears discussion and improves by it<; like pure gold, the more it is refined the brighter it shines, It is one of the coming events that cau afford to bide its time, and bear crushing and ignoring by even Representative men, but is bound to become the rule and law in this County. "E?NO." ? Ruts'a w II net declare war, but ?OBtinues t) advan?a all the earns, The White House Early Bird. j Albany, March 11.?The Sun's Wash? ington correspondence about the new family in tbe White House is eagerly sought here every morning. Albany is very much wrapped up in the President and regards him as its own product, while Mr. Cleveland admitted before be left here that be bad grown to love Albany. "When I first came here as Governor," said he "my friends used to inquire bow I liked my new home. To which I replied: "This is uo home of mine. I belong to Buffalo.' But long ago I ceased to feel that way, and for more than a year 1 have enjoyed every day of my life in Albany." The news that "the Governor," as he will ever be called here, has ordered breakfast at 8 o'clock at-the White House suggests to his friends and tnose of Col. Lamont a good story about Cleveland's first days in Albany. He gave Col. Lamont a list of his appointments to be published iu the Argus, and tbe first name on the list was that of Daniel S. Lamont. The astute Colonel was then a newspaper man, accustomed to turning nigbt into day. "What time will you be at the Capitol to-morrow ?" he inquired of the Gover? nor. "Oh, about half-past 8 o'clock," Mr. Cleveland-replied. The Colonel's eyes were distended. Never, perhaps, bad a Governor begun ids work at such au early hour. He told Mrs. Lamont what tbe new order of things was to be, aud managed to reach his desk at the Capitol at a few minutes before 8 o'clock. He bad just taken bis seat, after having bung bis bat aud coai up. when the Governor came in, half an hour earlier than the time he bad ap? pointed. After that tbe Colonel feit himself taking part in a race to be the earliest at work, and seldom or never was he distauced by the Governor. Unlike most men ol his build Mr. Cit-veland requires very little sleep. Tbe stories are very plenty here of visitors to the Executive Mansion who have stayed up until 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock in the morning with tbe Governor, and then at 6 o'clock in the morning have been awakened from a half completed rest by sounds of heavy footsteps and of whist ling, to peep out of their rooms aud see ? lie Governor before his looking glass shaving himself and whistling as cheerily as a schoolboy. Once shaved and fu.k dressed, tbe Governor would then let himself quietly out of the front door and stride away beyond the city's outskirts for his daily constitutional, in tbe com pany of the rattling. milk carts and belated truck farmers on their way to the city market. Jo a small circle of intimate* he was known as "the break o' day Gove nor." Four or live hours' sleep and three light and entirely plain meals a day fill out the programme requisite with him tor good health and buoyant spirits, and in pursuing the course he has begun iu Washingt n he will be following bis natural bent. He will miss the. walk to aud from the Capitol six times a day, to which he has been accustomed, and be may miss it so greatly as to make a new departure in Washington. In former times, before Line dn was President, the Chief Magistrate had the entire White House to himself and bis household, and iiis work and that of bis secretary were performed in rooms set apart for tbe pur? pose in tbe Capitol. President Cleve? land may return to that practice, n t only because it will afford him exercise, and more iroportaut still, enable him t? use the White House as arresting plice and a retreat, but also because under the present arrangement there is not suffi uient room for an ordinary household there. When President Arthur desired to entertain friends, he was obliged to send tbem to a hotel at night, and it is understood, and is probably, true, that not all the servants could be accommo? dated under tbe While House roof. In Mr. Lincoln's time the great apartment into which callers were ushered and the -mailer one now used by the private Sec? retary were taken from the household either to free the President from dai y and frequent exposure to hostile persons in tbe streets or for some reason that is probably ooa-exisunt now.?New York Sun. Seaator Bajard and his Family. Mrs. Bayard is an attractive and still youthful looking matron of the old fashioned style of beauty, a refined face with delicate features and pensive air. framed iu.a head dress of lace and rows of small gray curls at either side. Deli? cate i.ealth prevents her from going out. much, and her daughters have often to receive calls and dUcharge all the social duties for her. Senator Bayard's eldest daughter was married two years ago to Mr. Samuel Warren, of Boston, and tbe second daughter, Miss Katie Bayard, a very slender aud vivacious blonde, is the member of the family most seen. She is a graceful girl aud a brilliant talker, but dresses always in some peculiar and ex? traordinary way, tbe eccentricities of her hau and headgear having long been famous. As "Queen Horiense," or a lady of the first empire, ut Miss Miller's fancy dress ball last week she quite as touishsd the company with tbe literal reproduction of the scanty costume of that era, something that no other girl in tbe city would have dared or been per mitted to attempt. A younger sister, Miss Nannie Bayard, is going in society for tbe first time this Winter, although she has made no formal debut at a home entertainment. Senator Bayard is a great friend of Senator Fair, the Nevada millionaire of divorce and other notorio ty, and Senator Fair is constantly giving dinners and theatre parties for tbe Bay? ard daughters. The Delaware Senator has also a great fancy for the people of the sock- and buskir, and it was be who joined Mrs. Langtry when she went to tbe Senate gallery, and after chatting with her for awhile there, escorted her through tbe bnilding on a sight seeing tour, and finished the afternoon with a little lunch at the restaurant. Tbis year he gave Ellen Terry a breakfast party, not at his own house, but at a restauruut, and bis daughters and other ladies at? tended.? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ? The annual convention of fat wo men, held last week in Chicago, was a big thing. Tbe fat sirens all appeared to enjoy good health, and their ample and billowy charms were greatly admir ed. Mrs. Hannah Batternby, of Betble hem, Pa., weighing 728 pounds, took the cake. Twelve laps around this fascinat? ing charmer make a mile. When she twirls a marble in tbe palm of her hand it gives the general impression of a rou? lette wheel in full action. Some of the fat people are mere amateurs. Peterand Ella Bauyan, for instance, had no busi? ness there, as their united weight was only 881 pounds. Eilen Morris 503 pounds, Mdme Carver 456 pounds, Ida Williams 507 pounds, and Anna Bell 450 pounds, did tolerably well. These j ladies were all arrayed in dazzling cob- : tumeB, and it was given up that if they 1 started out to travel on their shape they | would go a good way without stopping. The spectators enjoyed the display very much, but Rome of the young men were unable to view so much mammoth love? liness without giggling io an idiotic manner. With this slight drawback everything passed off decorously. ? Those who clamor for Jefferaonian simplicity will be disappointed to learn that the President will retain Mr. Arthur's French cook. Some of them have cherished the idea that because tbe President wan not a dude nor a gourmai d he must necessarily content himself wi'h tbe services in his kin hen of an od darkey aud a skillet. The White House tinder the new regime will b>> a credit to the nation. The breakfast hour is fixed I at % o'clock. I Why Sherman Is Had, John Shermann's refusal to aerve on the Finance Committee was because his claims to its chairmanship were ignored, and'Morrell was continued as Chairman by the caucus. Sherman was Chairman of this Committee before he went into the Hayes Cabinet, and was then suc? ceeded by Morrili. He thinks Morrell ought now to give way to bim, as he gave , way to Feasenden on the same Commit- j tee, when Fesseuden returned to the? j Senate after Cabinet service. Morrili declines to do so, and Sherman has a | bad case of the sulks, but it is thought I the Finance Committee can shuffle along witLout him. In the absence of any authentic iofor mation, goBsip is busy over the rumored j reasons for Senator Sherman's declina- j tion to serve upon the Finance Commit- ! tee. To an associated press reporter, j who asked Mr. Sherman for his reasons : to-day, be said: "If.I have any apologies to make, I will make them to my constituents." The report ol two years ago that Sher? man wished to be restored to the Chair mansbip of the Committee on Finance, from which be withdrew to become Sec retary of the Treasury, is revived, and it is said that some personal ill-feeling existed between himself and Senator Morrili, the present Chairman of the Committee. In consequence, Mr. Mor? rili was asked in regard to the matter to day, but replied that he had nothing to say, but be added that so far as he knew, the relations between Sherman and him? self were cordial. There is said to be a feeling which is not entirely cordial be? tween Sherman and Aldricb, and rumor alludes indefinitely to a demand or re? quest said to have been made by the former, that the latter should be removed Irom the Fiuanco Committee in default of which be (Sherman) would no longer serve.' This cannot be traced to any authentic source, but on the other hand, none who should know the facts are found to deny it. It can be said that when the subject of Sherman's retirement was referred to in caucus the other day, the colloquy which ensued between Sher? man and Morrili was kindly in tone, each professing sincere personal e-teem for the other. The only reason brought forward for the retirement of Sherman was bis belief that the interests of bis constituents were not fairly considered in the action of the Committee upon the wool tariff. Mr. Sherman asked then to be relieved from further service, but the* caucus, by a formal vote, declined to re? lieve him. The misunderstanding be? tween Sherman and Aldricb dates back, it ia said, to the action of the Committee respecting the tariff, and has been revived and possibly increased by the controver? sy over refunding and the national bank measures, in respect to which the two were advocates of widely different cour? ses of procedure. It is likely that noth? ing further will be heard of the matter nutii the next session, as the Committee will have nothing to do beyond the con? sideration of nominations during the present sessiou. ? A Western Democratic newspaper lifts up its voice as follows : "Hosanna ! The inauguration of a Democratic Presi? dent is unto our famished soul as honey on a hot waffle. Our blood tingle* with frenhness; we can hear the birds singing in the green groves that margin the pellucid lakes m paradise. Just think of it! After hobbling in the arid, sandy desert of politics for twenty-four years, we round in at an oasis whoso springs are nectar and whose beds are roses. Is it any wonder that every hair on onr editorial head seem to be a jew's-harp playing that good old tune, 'Saints' Rest ?' We have an eye on the post office, and the future spreads out before us like the feather end of a peacock on a sunny June morning." ? Mr..
