The Reelection of Gen. Grant.

President Grant has swept the country by
even greater odds than his friends claimed
prior to the election. 1t was generally agreed
that the result of the October contest inevitably
decided the Presidential race, but the result as
still surprising, since the popular majority for
Grant has fully demonstrated the weakness of
the opposition. We give the election returns
from all the States, in another column, and in
condensed form. Greeley and Brown only
carried seven States, which gives them an elec-
toral vote of "a, while Grant and Wilson car
ried thirty States, with an electoral vote of
292, giving them a majority in the electoral
college of 21S votes. Grants majority of the
popular vote is put down at 586,62O. This is
nearly double the majority over Seymour in
1868, and is the largest popular vote ever re-
ceived by any candidate for the Presidency.

A Touching Incident at the State Fair.

A beautiful and touching incident, which
transpired, at the State Fair on last Friday, is
worthy of special record. There was on exhibit
ton at the Fair an elegant cake, handsomely
adorned and artistically finished, made by Miss
Walthour, of Georgia, and which was presented
to the Ladies' Bazaar for the benefit of the
Monument Association. In order to make the
gift profitable to the sacred cause to which it
was donated, and to afford an opportunity of
delicately complimenting one of our Confede-
rate Generals, it was decided by the fair mana
gers of the Bazaar to sell the cake in shares of
fifty cents, and each shareholder was entitled
to. a-vose, casting it for one of the Generals
they preferred to honor by this simple tribute
of esteem and affection. Gems. Hagood, Hamp-
ten, Butler and Gary we're voted for, but the
former received the largest number of votes,
and the cake was accordingly awarded to him.
twenty-five dollars was realized for the Monu-
ment by this method, but the question arose as
to the-manner in which the presentation should
be. made to the gallant soldier. Woman's tact
and ingenuity solved the problem, when it was
ascertained that an orphan girl of nine OF ten
summers, daughter of the late Lieut.. Col, Dar-
gan, one of Hagood's favorite officers, was upon
the ground. This little girl had been named
for Gen. Hagood at the request Of her father,
and is called Mary Hagood Dargan, and she
was fixed upon as the medium to make the pre-
sentation. Only few were aware of the touch
ing scene until after it transpired, but there
was eotrie of editors quietly looking on, and
mentally photographing the picture for thou
sands Of readers, Under the guidance Of Miss
Isabella Martin, Secretary of the Monument
Association, the orphan child of the gallant
Confederate approached Gen. Hagood, and in
simple, childish innocence, presented the beau
tiful gift to her fathers cherished friend and
devoted leader. 1t was easily perceived that
the General was truly affected by the incident
as with moistened eyes and tender words, he
accepted the tribute and imprinted kiss upon
the child's blushing cheek. Others we're simi-
larly affected by the scene, and the General
and his little friend passed out of the building
shortly afterwards. Only few minutes elapsed,
however, until the winsome child was back in
the Hall, exhibiting handsome silver goblet,
which had been awarded to Gen. H. as pre-
MUM, and which. he gave to little May as
keepsake. Rare are the incidents, garlanded
with the memories of our Lost Cause, trans
piring in these latter days, and for this reason
we have endeavored to tell the story in plain,
unvarnished language, as we were one OF the
few persons witnessing the event, while the
busy throng adjacent we're entirely ignorant of
its occurrence.

bottles FullJ OF. Reantv..1

Bottles Full Of Beaaty-Ladies, if you
would have beauty by the bottle-fuli, all you
have to do is to purchase HAaAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM. That peerless beautifier of the COM
pleNion not only heightens natural charms, but
renders even the plainest countenance exceed
ingly attractive. 1T RECALLS to the pallid cheek
the rosy tinge of health, removes pimples,
blotches, roughness, sallowness, and other
blemishes, and imparts to the skin q most deli
cate fairness and softness. It smooths the fur
rows caused by time or care and gives the face,
neck and arms the plump and engaging ap-
pearance of youthful beauty. All this Is ac-
complished by the most natural means, viz:
by gently and naturally stimulating the circu-
lation in the capillary blood vessels. Besides
being the most effectual aid to beauty known
to modern science.

Our Cotton Market.

We are grati6ed to note the steady increase
of business in our cotton market this season.
FROM the 1st of September to November 9th,
inclusive, the sales of cotton amounted to $500
bales, which is nearly double the amount sold
during the same period last year. These fig
ures do not include considerable quantity Of
cotton shipped from this point directly by the
producers, but embraces the actual amount of
sales, as ascertuined from the books Of the
Public Weigher, Mr.. o. H.sP. Fant, who has
kindly furnished US with the statement. The
forward condition of the cotton crop doubtless
swells the receipts to some extent, yet, after
making due allowance for the season, we have
handsome increase over last years business.
Our merchants continue to pay the very.
highest prices for cotton, and if there are any
farmers within reach who are credulous upon
this point, we invite them to test the matter
for once, as we are confident they can easily
become convinced that Anderson is decidedly
the best cotton market in the up-country.

For the Anderson MteNiaencer.

Mr. EDITOR Have our town authorities and
police force abdicated? If not, how are we to
account for the riotous and blasphemous pro-
ceedings and obstruction of sidewalks, which
of late are an everyday occurrence on Depot
street, without anything being done to remedy
it, or offenders being brought to justice. Is
our town, once noted for its quietness and NOR
ality, become an abode of unbridled dissipa-
tion? 1t is to be hoped that our Marshals will
be required to do their duty, SO that ladies can
pass our streets without being subjected to the
disgraceful annoyances referred to, and that
peace and quiet may again reign in

Mr.. GREELEY RESUMES THE PEN.-The
result OF the Presidential election was scarcely
announced when Horace Greeley promptly re-
sumed the editorship of the New York Tribune,
which position was relinquished by him at the
opening of the campaign. The good sense and
aptitude of expression displayed by him in the
recent canvass, and which challenged the ad-
miration of his political opponents, are fully
apparent in the brief card announcing his re-
adjustment of the editorial harness, and which
is herewith appended:
"A CARD.-The undersigned resumes the edi-
torship of the Tribune, which he relinquished
on embarking in another line of business six
months ago. Henceforth it shall be his en-
deavor 10 make this thoroughly independent
journal; treating all parties and political move.
ments with judicial fairness and candor, but
courting the favor and deprecatlng the wfatn
of no one. -,
If he can hereafter say anything which will
tend to heartily unite the whole American peo-
ple on the broad platform of universal amnesty
and impartial suffrage, he will gladly do so.
For the present, however, he can best commend
| that consummation by silence and forbearance.
The victors in our late struggle can hardly fail
TO take the whole subject of Southern rights
and wrongs into early and earnest considera-
tion, and to them for the present he RENTS it.
Since he will never again be candidate for
any Office, and is not in full accord with either
of the great parties which have hitherto divided
the country, he will be able and will endeavor
to give wider and steadier regard to the prog
ress of science, industry, and the useful arts,
than a partisan journal can do; and he will
not be provoked to Indulgence in those bitter
personalities which are the recognized bane OF
journalism. Sustained by generous public,
he will do his best to make.t the Tribune power
in the broader field it now contemplates, as,
when. Human Freedom was imperiled, it was
in the arena of political partisanship.
Respectfully,
HORACE GREELEY.

Pimp1es, Eruptions, Rough Skin.

The system being put under the influence Of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft and velvety, and being Illuminated with
the glow of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing
ever presented to thepublic as beautifer of the
complexion ever gave such satisfaction for this
purpose as this Discovery. The effects of all
medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium of the blood are necessa-
rily somewhat slow, no matter how good the
remedy employed. While one to three bottles
clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions,
may possibly be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofulous or
virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these
diseases, however, from the common pimple to
the worst scrofula, is, with the use of this most
potent agent, only matter of time. Sold by
all druggists. '"

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON SEWING MACHINES.

The Special Committee on Sewing Machines
beg leave to report that they performed the
duty assigned them as we'll as the limited time
and opportunity afforded. There were exhibl;
ted to them three Machines, one single thread
and two double thread Machines, each possess
ing some peculiar excellencies. As single
thread Machine, we would recommend the
"Wicox & Gibbs" as the most simple, power.
full and durable-doing beautiful work, and
possessing a great elasticity in the stitch. AS
q double thread Machine, your committee find
great difficulty in deciding between the merits 1s
of the "Singer" and the American Both
are machines of great power; the endless va
riety and beauty of their work cannot be ex-
celled. In awarding the premium to the
"Singer Sewing Machine" we do so because it
appears to us to be less complicated than the
american" and therefore more desirable as
family Machine.

Terrible Fire in Boston.

One of the most appalling fires known TO the
world, almost rivalling the immense confiagra-
tion in Chicago last year, occurred in Boston q
few days ago. The modern Athens has been
sadly desolated, and its most imposing business
structures swept away by the flames. The loss
is estimated at s25O,OOo,OOO, and many lives
were lost and hundreds of families rendered
homeless. The fire broke out last Saturday
night and continued its ravages for eighteen
hours, without an intermission. Nine hundred
and thirty business houses were destroyed,
besides sixty dwellings and lodging houses.
Paper warehouses, shoe and leather establish
msnts, dealers in wool and dry goods, and
other trades Of like character, appear to have
suffered greatest. 1t is 'ifficult to obtain the
particulars from the confused mass Of kilograms
in the daily newspapers, 81 many of the des-
patches are contradictory. The Boston Tran
script office was destroyed, but the paper ap-
peared on Monday. The office of the Boston
Post was badly damaged, and the Saturday
Evening Gazette was burned. Plundering and
thieving added to the general calamity, and the
rogues were only arrested to be discharged, as
the places of confinement were filled at an
early, hour. The following extract from the
Charleston News will give faint idea of the
terrible loss of property:
The district ravaged by the fire was crowded
with long rows of the most costly and substan-
tial business structures in this country, built
almost without exception of solid granite, rang
ing from four to eight stories in height, and in
many cases extending, with easements cellars
and sub-cellars, to a depth of twenty-five feet
under ground. This very section was elabor-
ately improved about twelve years ago, Devon
shire and other streets being cut through from
Milk to Summer street and built up with ex-
tensive warehouses, which were then the admi-
ration of the country. 1t comprises the whole
of the Seventh, and part of the Fourth ward,
and forms almost square stretching from
Washington street eastward to the harbor, and
from Summer street southwark to State. The
southern edge of this district contained hum
dreds of residences, thickly crowded together
and sheltering dense population.
The dispatches leave no room to doubt that
this calamity was attended with all the tragic
details and the unnatural crimes that form the
sickening Accomplishments of every tale of dis
.aster. Homeless women, turned to fiends or
idiots by the horrors of that night, rushed
shrieking through the blazing streets as at
Chicago, and whole families shelterless in the
pitiless night, vainly clutching their household
ware and trying to save some lares and penates
from the cruel wreck.
