rious father much annoyance by roaming the

Bulletin chronicles increased activity in nearly
all branches Of the domestic dry goods trade SO
far as the manufacturer agents are concerned
but the iobbers, it says, continue exceedingly
quiet. The mark ct for cotton goods h as become
strengthened by the recently advanced quota
tons for prominent makes of bleached shirtings
and wide sheetings, and may now be pronounced
as strong and active. Several further price re-
visions In an upward direction are looked for.
lnregard to foreign goods, the Bulletin remarks:
staple imported fabrics from first hands. Black
worsted materials, such as mohar lustres
alpacas, coburgs, bombazines, etc.. are in better
request, and plain dress fabrics are receiving
more attention. Cloth shad es of balernos, with
their rich lustr0us appearance bid fair to retain
the popularity which these fabrics met with in
the spring, as the autumn shades are even more
fancy dress goods which have as vet appeared
present very little novelty, and are mainly com
posed of cotton with silk stripes. Cloths and
worsted oostngs are in fair request, and in this
connection we may notice the reported failure
Of an old established importing cloth house."

hk IRhslDkNTS IBlP TO NEW ENGLAND
A special dispatch to the New York Times from
Augusta, Me-, thus speaks Of the movements of
President Grant and party in New England:
"There were, as usual, large crowds in the sta
ton lat BOSTON,, when the President arrived,
who followed like o rabble after his carriage
when he rode, hung about the hotel when he
was at breakfast, and pressed into the Eastern
Railway station when he went away again; but
they we're less obtrusive than heretofore, and
did not make such unseemly exhibitions OF hero
worship as on some previous occasions At the
stations ct which the train stopped on the jour
Dey down, crowds were gathered, and the Pros
ident, appearing on the rear platform Of his
car, was cheered, apparently quite as heartily
IS ever before. At Salem Gen. Butler joined
the party and rode a. far as Portsmouth,, max
ing every effort TO appear agreeable to every
one, and apparently endeavoring to impress
those around him and the crowds at the station
with belief in the excessive friendliness Of
the President toward him. At Newburyport
Secretary Robson and Senator Cameron got
on the train, the former going as far as North
ampton with the President, and the latter COM
ing through TO this place."
The President and party visited the Au-
gusta (Maine) arsenal yesterday. In the eve
ming Q reception was held In the court house,
at which Gov. Perham, Speaker Blaine, Sena-
tor Morrill,, and others were present. To-day
the President leaves for Mount Deseret; ON
Saturday he win 60 to Bangor, and on Monday
to the White Mountains.

PHOENIX GUANo.-All of our readers are
familiar with the fertilizers sold by Wilcox,
Gibbs & Co., of Charleston, among which the
Phoenix Guano stands most prominent, we be-
lieve. 1t is frst-class fertilizer, approved by
long and extensive use throughout the South,
and warranted to be exactly as represented by
the well-known and reliable firm, whose heavy
importations from the Phoenix Islands are not
diminished as the years roll on. This guano
forms the base of other standard fertilizers
manufactured by Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., and
which are equally popular with the planting
community. We had a call the other day from
Mr.. Il. A. Seymour, the general travelling agent
for the above firm, who handed us an advertise
ment of these celebrated fertilizers, and re-
quested us to state that Messrs N. K. & J. P.
Sullivan are the local agents, and will be
pleased to receive orders at any time. Ask for
q circular, which contains recommendations
from some of our most intelligent citizens, and
will furnish other valuable information touch
ing the merits of these commercial manures.

p0a The Charleston Nears publishes q
lengthy extract, and the Charleston Courier
gives portion of that extract, purporting to
be the editorial comments of the Anderson
hntelligencer upon the recent message of Gov
Moses. We have diligently searched the COL
umns of our paper, and cannot find that there
is any foundation for this alleged comment,
although the metropolitan journals both agree
in assigning us place in the picture. We
suspect that the. Courier copied from the Nsws,
and the latter must have copied from some other
journal, but not from the Anderson Antelligen-
Ger. 1t is enough to be responsible for that
we do write upon politics, without being accred-
tied with the productions of others, however
clever and sensible the, article may be. Will
our contemporaries please "render unto Caesar" F"

The Lunatie Asylum.

We take pleasmetin recording the fact that
Treasurer Cardoza, In the disbursement of
funds, has promptly relieved the wants of the
Lunatic Asylum, and at once placed that instl-
tuition in a good condition. The Columbia
Evening Herald states that, whileoverwhefmed
with the claims of various kinds which are
pressing for payment, Mr. Cardoza has not for
gotten to relieve the necessities of the Asylum
for the insane, and thus illustrate that nobiest
attribute of humanity which first and foremost
regards the helpless and unfortunate. In the
last.two weeks the Superintendent of the Asy-
lum, DR.. Ensor, has been provided with seO,-
600, wherewith to pay of the pressing claims
against the institution. This payment estab-
fishes the credit of the Asylum, and secures for
the .lunaties that kindly care and provision
which our civilization demands.

HORSE THIEF CApTURED.-In our last issue
an advertisement appeared, offering reward
for horse thief named Ralph Williams, alias
"Bill Hill" who stole a fine animal from Dr.
l. L. McCurry, of Fair Play, on the 18th of
December last. He kept the horse concealed
until the 18th of January, when he ventured
to leave home with his stolen property. He
reached Abbeville G. Fl. in safety, as We learn
from the Medium, and traded the horse to Mr..
Hamblin for mule, and started again for un-
known parts. But, as be was leaving Able
vile, DR.. McCurry and several friends over
hauled the gentleman, and he was taken before
Trial Justice Hemphill, and committed TO Jail
to await his trial.

The correspondent of the Charleston Ncaos
telegraphs that the latest sensation in Columbia
is a rumor that the entire Charleston delegation,
in she General Assembly, are to be presented
for indictment at the approaching term of the
Court of General Sessions, on charges of bribe-
ry and corruption, in connection with the elec-
ton of Patterson to the United States Senate.
1t is alleged, and indeed has been currently
reported and believed here for some months,
that the delegation, with probably one cxcep-
ton. signed formal pledge to support and
vote for Patterson in consideration of securing
his influence with the State board of canvas
sers in their favor and against the Mackey
delegation, which claimed to have been elected.
1t is understood that they are not to be charged
with receiving any money for their votes, but
that they are to be prosecuted for the above
mentioned bargain, under Section %, Chapter
131 Of the General Statutes. The punishment
for their conviction upon this charge would
include fine, imprisonment and expulsion
from the General Assembly.

in that city of a new disease of horses, or rath-
er the development of disease to originate
from the seeds of the late epizootic, which is
said to be more fatal than the original disease.

Another Deauctive Fire in AbbeyiIle.

Another Destructive Fire in Abbeville.
We sincerely regret to learn that another
destructive fire occurred at Abbeville @. ID. on
Monday night last, resulting in heavy loss to
eur friends, Messrs. Cothran and Wilson, who
have suffered largely heretofore from the visi-
tations of FIRE to that town. 1t appears that
the fire broke out about 9 o'clock in the new
range of brick buildings, recently erected by
these gentlemen on the lot adjoining the for
mer site of the Marshall House, and consisting
of seven stores, with public hall anG Offices in
the second story. Six Of the stores were en-
tirely construed. and the seventh was saved by
q dead wall protecting it from the remainder OF
the range. The one designated as the seventh
was. occupied by Messrs. Trowbridge & Co.,
whose loss is consequently light. The portion
consumed had recently received its last occu-
pant and though the entire range was tenanted
by merchants and others, the goods and con-
tents of the building we're chiefly rescued from
the flames, entailing comparatively small loss
upon the tenants. The owners of the building,
however, bear the heaviest loss, amounting to
eight or.ten thousand dollars. The origin OF
the fire is supposed to be accidental. We have
not heard that there was any insurance upon
the building. We give the particulars of the
fire as received here by various methods, and
cannot vouch for the authenticity of details
In this fresh calamity, which is the third ex-
tensive fire within twelve months, we tender
kindest sympathies to our neighboring town
and its stricken inhabitants.
