The ?ceno nt tho the fire was one of
1 wild excitement and confusion, the
crowd at times getting in the way of the
Aromen, and everybody pressing up with
a new plun tn stop the burning. Ti.?
firemen were inexperienced, ami at first
j wasted quantities of Water, which served
only to drench the crowd that wa* press

grossed and became thoroughly localed,
they got in some excellent work and
arrested the flames, thereby saving a

On Tueaday morning, two barrel cans

"A lady who Was awong the recent

lt.thc nani eat city she ever ssw ?thatthe
people, no far as nbc could see, have far
more regard for the rebel stars and bars
than for the loyal stripes and ?tarn; that
Leo is regarded at o demigod, and Gram
as a vulgar butcher; Davis in ihvir
eyes ls n hero of herne*, and Lincoln a
coarse bu ff ?on ; and lo conclude, they

This lady boarded ot a private house, and

absoluto -:uth of the above report, so far
ac the eyerago Southerner it concerned."
Our friend* of thc IuleUigcnrer have
beeb imposed upon bv a niixi?re.; of
truth and error. In tba South the char?
actor? of Davis and L*e ?re greatly
admired, be.cattso our people know thfjr
??re pure and oub?a patriots who joined
tlisir pa?p?o io contecdi&g foi- tho thewy
of constitutional liberty which they
believed was right. They were groat
men whose grand qualities the whole
world admires, and hiattry to day accords
them credit for the comest which they
mad't against enormous odds. They
with the Southern people submitted their
theory to the award of battle, and the
decision waa made against ue. We ac
cept thc interpretation which thia court
of lust and highest resort has placed
upon the government ol the Union, und
tun now see that the decision was direct
ed by that "Power which doelh all things
well," fur it has opened up to the South
u future prosperity and development
which we could never have attained
under the existing order of things for
whicji we contended. Our people do not
entertain the (colinga attributed to them
towards Lincoln und Grunt.
We do not mean that persons cannot
be found v. ho entertain such ideas, for
in isolated instances they can, just an
mumerous instances can be lound in the
North where people believe that Davis
ia a human hyena without principle of
tho instincts of hunns jity, and that Lee
was a mousier without parallel. Dut the
sentiment of the S uiii recognises Lin
col? and Graut HS the two great expo
muta of the principles ?mich triumphed
We du not consider Lincoln a polished
uian, but we recognize him as a great
mind, with conscientious purposes rising
lo a high order of patriotism from his
ataud point. Iii his death the South
suffered the greatest loss of tho late war.
So fur from looking upon Graut as s
butcher, thc South regard? him a? a
humano soldier, who manifested real
greatness in the nuble magnanimity he
dirtpluyed in victory. Whatever of un
kind feeling exists toward* Gen. Grant,
grows out of the trouble, which his two
administrations as President gave the
South.
Our friends of the Intelligencer
ought to know tin np things without
telling, and if they would only visit the
South, aa Col. McClure of the Poiladel
ph ia Time? did, they v.-mild arrive al the
same conclusions he reached.
There is a lively contest for# the post
lion nt Cunyu issi oner of Agriculture
under the new administration. Our
Representative from this Congressional
Dielrict, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, ia being
vigorously urged for the punition, and
hos the endorsement of the Congrtssiun
al delegation of, we belier?, twenty-three
States. Hon. F. C. Moorhead, of Mis
nbsippi, hus the endorsement of the
National Cotton Planten Convention.
In addition lo iheae there are several
other applicants, and among them Hon.
Thomas Hardeman, of Georgia, who i?
preaident of the Georgia State Agricul
tural Society. Ol all ibo applicants Col.
Aiken is the moat atroiigly endorsed, and
wo believe bim to be the beat fitted for
duties of the position, He has made the
theory of Agriculture a study for many
year?, and is tborougoly posted upon the
various needs and difikultiea of the
agriculturalists of the Uuiou. He has
immeoae energy, and tukeigreal pride iu
the performance of any duty which
devolve, upon bim, and HsCommiaaiooet
of Agriculture we believe lie would makt
many needed reforms in the Agricultural
department of the government, and
thereby give it an efficiency sud a value
.?hieb it bas never yet attained. We
think the prominence which Col. Aiken
occupies iu the Agricultural intercale ut
the country and the interest he bas
evinced in them entitle bim tu the ap
poiutmenl.. ?
A Washington dispatch of the 14th

dent of the Interior Department to dis
puse of at public sale all the horses,
carriages and equipments which are the
prop--ny of the Interior Department,
excepting those used for trucking pur
poses, .he proceeds of said sale to %e
covered into the treasury. The sale is
lo take place as soon as consistent with
the inteieat of the public service. Bimi
lar urders were issued by Attorney Gen
eral Gar.'aud." This means that these
Cabinet office.e will either walk tu aud
from their officea each day ur furnish
their own convey unces. Their priuciph
is correct and will duublless be followed
by the ot aer members uf tho Cabinet.
Pr?sident Cleveland's first proclama
timi is for the protection of the rights ol
the Indians upon their r?servation lands
It ir. ? little surprising, doubtless, to
many people to learn that the Indian
bas any rights in thia country, but tbe
President begins bis administration by
showing that he intends to enforce the
laws, and that tbe lowest class nf real
dents in tbe United Stuten shall have
equal and just protection under our lawa.
Everything indicates that the new Presi
dent is to be a Preaident of the whole
country, who will iuapire respects for

Mu. EDITOR : Your roany readers
throughout tho County have been greatly
pleased at your management of the dis?
cussion on the prohibition quonfiou, with
its especial connection with the meeting
of our last Legislature, and the actions
of our Representatives in reference to it.
The article of Meura. Towera aud Smith,
exonerating you from all blame "and
censure, waa all very well, .?nd certainly
sela the matter cumplaiued of at rest ;
but the readers of your paper know full
weil that you have performed your whole
duty in the premises, and that in its dis
cussion you had done nothing more than
your duty as a journalist. From every
friend of ihe cause you will receive the
plaudit of "well done."
The reasons assigned for opposition to
the petition, and a failure to push il
through, are rather amusing to au out
sider than otherwise. Gue Representa
tive say-, in the same article in which he
discusses the proper translation and in
terpretation of (he Rna I ma of David,
ufler apeakiug id the petitions and their
circulation and signing, that "auch au
expression of opinion would not warrant
a Representative mun to favor th* Rill."
So the petitions were all right, so fur ns
their make up and signing wai concerned,
b>jt happened to be junt a little too weak
to wurrnnl this particular Representative
man to favor the measure. Thia ia cer
tainly cool and complimentary lo the
t* elvo hundred and nine petitioners. As
much as to say, you petitioners ask to be
Allowed hy law to regulato your ono
tocal affairs, but I am n Repr?sentative,
mun, und your prayer is beneath uiy
notice, and will nut even justify me in
favoring the Rill. Now, Mr. Editor,
tao brazen elTrotilery of such talk fastet a
the conviction upon the mind that such
a Representative is the "lirpretentat'ue
man" of his own contracted ideas, and
that if ho bas any ^supporters in this
mutter they exist only in h ir, unordered
imagination.
Agaiu it is said, thut in the judgment
of one of our Representatives, the repeal
of the Local Option Law would be
unwise and inexpedient. Twelve hun
dred and ni ne petitioners think not. They
oelieve if allowed to regulato the matter
for themselves by tho votes of the people
they can materially improve that law.
This Representative thinks not, and
therefore iguores the petition. Thi
?unie Representative, when a correspnn- ,
dent criticises bia migratory life in aearch
of office, says that tho correspondent
certainly did not understand what "wan
due from one mau to another." Aud I
waa inclined to agree and sympathize
with bim, but when be serenely sets up
uis judgment in oppositiuo to the com
bined judgment of twelve hundred and
uine petitioners, and then acts upon hi?
own, it is certainly clear that bo has no
c inception of what ia due from one mau
to another, or from a Representative lo
tba people whom he represents. The
Local Option L'w is not the matter
under discussion, but if it was, much
might be aaid against it. Under ita
operations the revenue realised from the
?ale of whiakey cornea principally oil of
the people of the country, and goea
entirely to build up incorporations. To
ibis ia added annually a very considera
ole amount iu the way of fioea from the
people of the country, in consequence of
the use of whiakey. If the people nf
the country, therefore, bear the burden,
why not allow them to have aaloona at
any and every place in the County they
see proper ? To the objection that there
could be no police regulations in the
country to preserve the peace, it may he
well answered that men go to Anderson
and become intoxicated, and start for
home well armed with jugs and bottles of
whiskey to keep up and augment the
intoxication, and though the police may
sput and watch them, yet they manage
to pass the limits of the city, and then
upon every highway our wives and daugh
ters are subjected to the unmanliness,
i'decency and insults of the intoxicated,
both white and colored. It could not be
much worse if sold every where. But to
'dincusB thia ia not my purpose, and I
therefore ask pardoo for the digression.
So far na .tho Democracy of Anderson
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 la too pure, too full of devotion to
homo aud country, and the motives
which prompt and actuate the people to
bold and act together are too important
and grand tu admit of severing by this or
any similar local question. Neither are
the people to be deterred from regulating
their owo local u fia i ra by the whims and
croaking* 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 fur?* abort time its progress may
be impeded, it is all the while gathering
additional strength, power and velocity
for ita future progress.
Having nothing to do either with the
circulation of the petitions or their
management, I am not apprised, except
by mere intimation as to what course
those having the matter in charge will
pursue In its future management. As
authority ef law is neceas*ry tn mik
any action of the people binding, and as
thia was the ead sought by the petitions,
a id ls the usual and most'direct way of
attaining the object In view, I am lo fa vt E*
of renewing the petitions and swelling
the number of petitioners until even ts
"Representative man'* will not only feil
"warranted to favor" it, bul coe/mined
to grant the request. This may be easily
and pleasantly done by holding meetings
over the County during the lammer, and
allowing a f?ll, free and fair disciw-iun of
the subject befara the people. It ie one
of those question* th at, beare discussion
and improves bj; it . like pore gold,, th?
m tire it is refined the brighter it ahinca.
Itt le one of the coming event? ?bet caa
afford to bide in lime, end bear crash log

nay, but he added that so far a? he knew,
the relations between She -man and him
self ?ere cordial. There ? ?aid to be a
feeling which is not entirely cordial bi
tween Sherman and Aldrich, and rumor
allude? indefinitely lo a demand or r??
qurnt ?ai<l to have been made by the
lormer, that the latter should be removed
(rom the Finance Committee in default
?if which he (Sherman) would nu longer
nerve. This cannot be traced to any
authentic nource, but on the other limul,
none who should knuw the fact? are
found to deny it. It can be said that
when the subject of Sherman's retirement
wa? referred to in caucus the other day,
the colloquy which ensued between Sher
man and Morrill wa? kindly in tone,
each profe??iug sincere personal e-teem
for the other. The only reason brought
forward for the retirement of Sherman
was his belief that thc intere?ta of hi?
conntiiuents were not fairly considered
in the action of the Committee upon the
wool tariff. Mr. Sherman asked then to
be relieved from further service, bul the-i
caucus, by a formal vote, decliued to re- |
lieve him. Tho initunderblauding be
tween Sherman and Aldrich dale? back,
it is ?aid, to the action of tho Committee
respecting the tariff, mid baa been revived
and possibly increased by ihe controver
?y over refundiug and the national batik
mensure?, in respect to which tho two
were advocates ot widely different cour
ses of procedure. Il i? likely that noth
ing further will be heard of the mailer
until the next session, as the Committee
will have nothing to do beyond the con
sideration of nominations during I be
present session.
