For the anderson MtelHgencer.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your paper of the 18th Oc-
tober, I notice the report of the Grand Jury for
the late term of the Court. They report $500
paid into the Treasurer's Office by me as Trial
Justice. I have paid to the County Treasurer
since the9th Of last January, $500, for which I
have the Treasurers receipts. On the 9th jan
the End September $500. The County Com
missioners require me to file the Treasurer's
receipts with them, but I take duplicate re.
ceipts. There was no account in the report of
the Grand Jury of the term of Court before
ry by me. notice in the report Of the County
Commissioners they report all moneys paid
out, but no report of any received. There is q
wrong somewhere, and think it is due me
inflicted and collected by me are to great ex-
tent public.

Serious Accident.

We regret to chronicle serious accident to
our friend, Mr. A. W. Thompson, of Walhalla,
which occurred in our town on Wednesday
morning of last week. Mr.. T. was riding in q
buggy with another gentleman, driving in the
direction of the Fair Grounds, and just after
crossing the new bridge on Main street some
disarrangement of the buggy shafts caused the
horse to take fright, and the driver was either
thrown out, or jumped from the buggy, carry
inc the lines with him, and leaving Mr.. Thomp-
son in perilous position. In attempting to
slide off the back of the buggy, Mr.. I. was
thrown violently to the ground, where he re-
n,ained until assistance reached him. There
were no bones fractured, but his left hip was
so seriously injured by the fall and strain upon
Il that he has been suffering intensely ever
since. He was taken to the residence of his
mariner. Mr.. T. J. Steele, and we are glad to
report that his injuries are Of less dangerous
character that at first imagined, with the pros
pect Of no permanent disability arising there
from.

Executive clemency.

Gov. Scott has pardoned Mr.. Harvin 'Vandi-
yer, of this County, who was tried and convict.
ed Of murder at the May term, and sentenced
by Judge Orr to be hung in January next. Our
readers are sufficiently familiar with the Cir
cumstances of this peculiar case, without enter
ing into the particulars at this time. MIR. Van
diver is upwards of seventy years old, and has
been a Baptist minister. His father was
Revolutionary soldier, and he is respectfully
connected. - =. -
Wm. M. Davenport, who was also convicted
and sentenced at the same time with Vandiyerl
for being engaged in the murder of Meeks, is
yet in jail. His case cannot be decided by the
Supreme Court, to which an appeal has been
made, until January. We are not advised that
any effort is making to obtain Executive Glenn
ency in his behalf.

The Horse and his Rider.-It was happy
day for the Horse and his rider when the Mus
TANG L1NIMENT was introduced for the exter-
nal diseases and injuries of both. In the stable
the barn and the household this wonderful
emollient is equally useful. Ifa horse is spav-
ined, or foundered, or harness-galled, or af1ict-
that equine flesh is heir to, the Liniment effects
q speedy cure, and it is equally etficacious when
applied to draught oxen or COWS suffering from
outward swellings strains, or hurts of any de-
scription: As-an application for bruises, cuts,
burns, rheumatism, stiff joints, sprains, neu-
ralgia, earache and toothache, it takes prece-
dence of all other tropical remedies, and is
therefore an article of prime necessity in FAM
lilies.

Old John Robinson's Circus.

1t was announced in these columns sometime
ago that the famous Snowman, Old John Rob
inson, intended to visit our town this winter
with his mammoth exhibition, which he is
now transporting through the Southern States
But we regret to learn from his agent who was
here last week, that it is impossible for the
Greenville and, Columbia Railroad to furnish
transportation at this busy season forsnch a
colossal establishment, and the .up-country will
be deprived Of the contemplated. pleasure il in
witnessing the greatest show now travelling
through the South. The management has
made arrangements, however, to secure return
tickets on the railroad for all persons who. de-
sire to visit Columbia on next Monday, 18th of
November, at which time the exhibition will
take place in that city.

Another Gin House Burnt.

The gin house of Messrs. I. NJ. White and
sohn w. Daniels, situated two and half miles
southwest Of town, was entirely destroyed by
FIRE on last Wednesday night. The flames were
discovered little after dark, and number OF
persons went to the scene of the confagration,
but it was too late to prevent total destruc-
tion of the building and its contents. We
learn that the loss of the proprietors and other
: persons will amount to about $500. Nine
bags of cotton, belonging to various parties, are
included inIthe loss sustained by the fire. The
building was nearly new, and was constructed
fol-. milling and ginning purposes, but the mill
portion had never been opersted. The fire is
supposed to have been accidental, as we are in
formed.

The DEATH OF Mrs. GREELEY-The tele-
graph announces the death of the wife of the
Hon. Horace Greeley, in New York city on the
Both ult., of consumption. Mrs. Greeley was a
native of New York, where she became ac-
quainted with Mr.. Greeley while he was the
editor of the Mew Yorker, and boarding at the
Graham House in that city, ,-at which place she
first met him. She shortly afterwards removed
to Warrenton, North Carolina, to teach school.
Her maiden name was Mary Y. Cheney. Hor-
ace Greeley and Miss Cheney were married in
Emanuel Church, Warrenton, North Carolina,
on the 5th of July, 1886, by the Rev: VIM.
Norwood, according to the Episcopal FORM
For some months Mrs. Greeley's health has
been gradually declining, and for week past
her death has been hourly expected. She has
been in Madeira and Europe for year past,
attempting to restore her health, and returned
within the last three months Mrs. Greeley
was woman of intellectual culture, and devo-
ted her time largely to the acquisition of knowt-
edge.

Handsome Compliment to our Merchants.

'.Long Cane" correspondent of the Abbe-
vile Medium writes as follows concerning
recent visit to our town, in which he pays
Just compliment to the energy, enterprise and
business tact of, our merchants. The writer is
evidently puzzled at the high prices paid for
cotton in this market, and so have other people
been puzzled at the same thing. We might
possibly offer an explanation of this fact but
the farmers all around only want to know that
it is a fact, without entering into the particu-
lars, and it is useless to make the explanation.
Therefore, we desire to reiterate the statement
so often made that Anderson is the best cotton
market in the up. p.country, and to invite "all
the world and the rest of mankind" to test its
truthfulness by bringing their produce to this
place, where they can purchase every desirable
article at the lowest prices, and meet with lib
erality and kindness at the hands of onr mer-
camille friends:
Editors Medium: I promised to drop you
few lines if anything turned up worth relating
ON INV way to Anderson. / met several Able
Vile farmers driving their wagons loaded with
bagging, ties, bacon, salt, hats, shoes, &C.
"Where have you been?" says /. "To Ander-
son." say -"selling cotton and buying my
necessaries. They pay higher prices for cotton
in Anderson than they do in Abbeville, and
they sell goods as cheap" / Inquired how that
could be, for Anderson was further from mar
ket than Abbeville, and it cost more to ship
bale of cotton from the former than the latter
place, and it cost more to ship goods from
Charleston and New York, how then could
they pay higher prices for cotton and sell goods
as cheap? The reply was, "They did not know
about that, but they kaew they did,it."
On my arrival here l saw many more familiar
faces selling cotton and buying groceries, and
they. all made the same reply to my interroga-
tories. This, 1 confess, was "turn up" was
not looking for and don't care to relate. 1t is all
wrong from beginning to end, the merchants
can pay as much for cotton in Abbeville, and
more too, than they can pay at Anderson, and
it is a shame and scandal that our farmers
have to sell their produce and buy their gro
ceries here. What's the matter? i....
An editor is supposed to know everything,
then please enlighten US. Are the people here
wider awake? Have they more capital? more
energy than they have at home? tell you we
must work up and push, or we will be left out
in the cold.
Anderson is lengthening her cords and
strengthening her stakes; you see signs of
thrift on every street. This is my first visit
here since the war. In ante 6eltuns times it was
little, old, one-horse concern-I thought the
most old fogy, stupid, dull town in creation /;
but sir things have changed-everything is
lively and looks smiling the clerks move like
Broadway boys, and the merchants seem con-
tented with their lots in life.

The General Assembly.

The next Legislature will be politically con-
stituted as follows:

tive gain, II.
In Joint AssemJly-Regular Radicals, 1O1 (;
Boilers, %; Conservatives, 80. Conservative

1t will be seen that the Boilers and Conser-
yatives have obtained more than one-third of
either House, and by their united strength can
prevent unwholesome legislation in some cases.

OBITUARY.
DEATH OF WIN. o. ALEXANDER.

Mr.. Alexander left his home near Crayton-
vile, in this County, in the fall of 1870, for
Falls County, Texas; but not satisfied with
that part, he removed last fall one hundred
miles west, into the upper Cross Timbers, in
Johnson County. Returning to Falls County
in January last on business, he encountered a
"Norther'' in crossing the prairie, and his feet
were so frozen that he was unable to walk. The
shock to his system, and the sufferings he en-
dured superinduced dropsy, which his physi-
clans combatted with varied success until Au-
gust %, 1872, when he died at q Sulphur Spring
in Hood County, in the 57th year OF his age.
