ANDERSON.


The Anderson Intelligencer says Of the elec:
ton returns that the highest vote cast was on
the ratification. Of the constitution, 1913 for,
and 1875 against, making total of 1858 votes,
with majority of si1ty-two against the con-
stitution.
Hon. W. D. Porter, for Governor, received
14OO votes, and Gen. r. Z. Scott received 1885,
making majority for Porter of lis.
The following delegation is elected to the
General Assembly:

McAIister, 1878. Majority for Reid, 49,.
House Of REPRESENTATIVES,. B. Moore,
1899: DR.. John Wilson, 1898; B. Frank Sloan,
1881. Average majority for the Democratic
candidates, 100. 49,
The registration returns up to the Slst or
March show that there o were LEI ZU40 white regis
iority of 62S for the whites. This does not in
cInde the last revision, which will add more than
i01 to tbs white majority. From the best in
Formation we can obtain, the white vote in
this election does not exceed 15UU, While the
colored vote must have reached l200-showing
that at least 600 whites did not go to the polls,
and scarcely 200 blacks refrained from e2er-
cising the right Of suffrage

ag- CIRCULAR.-TO THE LADIES OF
TIE VARIOUS CHURCHES IN THE CITY OF
CHARLEsToN.-W the officers and Members Of
the Young Mems Christian Association OF Charles
ton, would take this method Of respectfully appeal.
ing to you for assistance. We propose holding
FLORAL FESTIVAL OR FAIR,
during the latter part of the coming month Of May,
hoping we may thereby realize sufficient amount
to enable us to continue during the present gear the
various religious and charitable works which we
have commenced, and thus far carried on with great
h,,A,, i,l, nacps9ari1y Init reluC-
taptly abandon, unless we derive aid from some
source. The plan OF Festival or Fair, during the
season of flowers has suggested itself to our minds,
and we feel assured that 1t ouy requires your assis'
tance to make 1t complete success.
We propose that the ladies' Of each church prepare
one table or BOOTH supplying the same with such ar
ucles for sale as their own good Judgment may sug
gest, believing that o generous emulation thus en-
rendered, as to which shall best succeed, will, when
all are combined in one collection, present most
elegant and complete display; and. furthermore tha
each tabereman under the control Of the ladies' who
prepared It, In order that OF the close of the Fair
may be seen which has succeeded best In the enter
prise, and thereby contributed the largest amount
towards the cause In which We are all 30 interested
We. therefore, respectfully call upon the ladies
composing the various congregations of all evangeh'
cal denominations in this city, to combine among
themselves, and commence at once the preparation
of such articles as sheir own fancy and judgment
may dictate. Let all assist, the humblest as well a'
the wealthiest, and With united energies carry out
this work
The members of the Association will, one and an
cheerfully perform all and every labor that may be
required Of them, and will hold themselves always IN
readiness to obey every reques
Those ladies who are willing to assist us are re
quested to meet every Friday Afternoon at Five
O'Clock. in the rooms Of the Association lin King
street, over. .Messrs. FoaARTE sT1IL,1As's Storel

The Southern Elections.

NORTH CAROLINA.
RALEIGH, April 2S.-The polls we're closed at
six o'clock. About 2250 ballots were cast, ap-
proximating very nesrly to the whole number
registered. There has been no count, and 1T
will require over twenty-four hours, there be-
ing over 100, 900 names. Wake County is sup
posed to have gone for the constitution by sou
majority. The majority against the constitu=
ton in Mecklenburg is 500; in Cleveland, 1000;
CASTOR, no figures; Roane. large, and Nash,
300. Both parties claim the majority, but the
Conservatives are very confident of defeating
the constitution and Holden. The Radicals
claim Forsythe, Randolph and Chatham by
large majorities.
GEORGIA.
SAVANNAH, April 23.-The Conservatives are
gaining to-day, and are buoyant and enthusl-
astic. The election passed of quietly. Every
species of fraud has been practiced by the
Radicals to exclude Conservative votes. The
polls we're closed at P. NJ. precisely. The
CITY vote is considered Conservative; the coun-
TRY vote Radical. Result doubtful.
MACON, April 23.-4499 votes were cast in this
county-result doubtful. The Democrats claim
200 majority. Houston county is claimed De-
mocratic by small majority. Sumter is esti-
mated to have gone Radical by 500 majority.
Twiggs has gone Radical. Monroe Democratic
By 100 majority. Pike Democratic by 300 ma
iority. The Democrats have carried Lee by
small majority; Baker by $50; Mitchell by 800,
and Wilcox by 800. Wilkinson has gone Radi-
cal.
AUGUSTA, April 2S.-The vote to-day
amounted to ST.; total for four days days 5257.
Bullocks majority is fully 1000. The election
closed in q row between the blacks and whites,
several we're wounded, but none seriously.
The excitement is bsequently ne
gro knocked white lady down in the public
streets, injuring her severely. This added to
the excitement, and fears were entertained
of general riot. Several shots we're fired at
the freedman, but he escaped with slight
flesh wound. After the negro's arrest, the
military charged through the streets, dispers-
ing the crowd. After quiet was restored it
was ascertnined that the negro who assaulted
the lady was suffering under temporary fit of
insanity. When this became known quiet was
restored, and at this hour, ten o'clock, the
city is perfectly quiet and order reigns.
LOUISIANA.
NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-Complete returns
show that the majority in this parish against
the constitution is but 208. One Democratic
and one Republican Congressman have been
elected in this district. Conway, Democratic,
has been elected Mayor, and there is Demo-
cratic majority in both Boards. Returns from
the country parishes place the constitution
ahead nearly 5000 In twenty-five parishes. The
Crescent comedies the ratification and conse-
uuent election of the Radical State ticket by
1000 TO 10000. The Republican claims 25,OOO.

THE GAZETTE


The money panic which originated
among the bulls and Bears" of
Wall Street q few weeks since, is quiz
city subsiding, though it has had its
damaging effect upon the business of
thc whole country. The consequent
wheat tumble eaeae,l the formers to
hold on for higher prices and hcces-
sarily caused stagnation in bust
ness. Serious apprehensions were
felt ard sensationists were busy in
manufacturing the probabilities of n
financial disaster. But we have seen
that no crash has followed and no. APP
preliensions need be felt of any at
this time. Our financial affairs are
i'm q transition state, which briggs
arrest to the whole country and will
remain thus so kong as q margin en-
lists between currency and coin. we
believe that tic result OF this money
stringcncy, viii! result, sooner or Ia
ter, in the resumption of specie pay
ment. 1t is the work Of the next
Congress to settle upon a policy
which shall insure a sodd basis
TO our money matters, that will take
them out of the control of the money
sharks of Wall Street. But it will
not be p,aintained by those who
claim to be posted that the unsettled
condition of money matters has been
The main and only course Of the de-
cline in the price of wheat. The
large crop this season has filled the
markets of the whole country and
the demand has not been sufficient to
maintain the prices given during the
early part of the season. The quiet
ness of business in the country is not
for the want Of wheat, but because
farmers will not sell at the present
figures, preferring to pay two per
cent. n month on their outstanding
notes and hold their wheat until
spring. This is certainly amistaken
policy. Sell your wheat and pay
your debts. The interest on your
notes will eat up your farm. There
is more probability of prices of all
kinds of merchandise coming down
