Eetrguchment and Economy.

The Athens WGtchnan publishes the follow
ing resolutions, adopted by the lady members
of Clarke County Grange, without dissenting
voice. We think it would be well to initiate
this example throughout the country, and that
the ladies should set their faces against foolish
extravaganza, which more frequently embar-
asses husbands and fathers than is generally
supposed. Plain and sensible fashions, adapt
cd to the means Of each family, would do much
10 relieve the financial pressure, and enable
many an honest man to pay his debts. Here
are.the resolutions, Which We hope will please
eur lady readers:
.1Resol,ed, That we believe the time has ar
rived for as to- discountenance all extravaganza
and abolish pride, and advocate, as far as lies
in our power, everything that tends to lead to
economy and re&reuefrment.
aReso6sd, That we pledge ourselves thai we
will not attempt to follow after the worldly
fashions of the present day, believing. that We
haveIshe right to introduce, or establish fash
ion for ourselves.

The Spartanburg Spartan announces the re-

Baptist State Convention.


The ty-third session of this body was held
in Columbia last week. We learn that it was
one of the largest and most interesting sessions
of the Convention for many years. Rev. ]. l..
REYNOLDS, of Columbia, was elected President;
Rev. J. K. Mendenhall, Vice President; o. F.
Gregory, Secretary A. w. Lamar, Assistant
Secretary Prof. G, Fl. Judson, Treasurer.
The endowment of Furman University was
among the principal topics of interest before the
Convention, and we understand that the entire
amount of 100000 has beer secured. Bonds
tn the amount of $150,000 had been obtained
nrior to the meeting and the remaining $780, 900
was pledged by delegates, who will undertake
tn obtain bonds from other persons to that
amount. Rev. J. l.. Reynolds has been elected
a professor in the University, and the pros
meets of the institution were never brighter.
Similar pledges we're made to advance the
prosperity of the Working Christian, which is
the recognized organ of the denomination in
this State, and which is being tostered with
more care than any kindred enterprise Tor
long time. The present management OF the
uaper deserves success, and should receive q
cordial support from the denomination. Other
matters of Importance were discussed by the
Convention, but We are not in possession Of the
yesults.

The CHICAGO RoAD-CHARLEsTON AND
SAvANNAH.-Both these cities have suddenly
walked up to the fact that o railroad is in con-
temptation from Chicago to the South Atlantic.
Neither of them had a delegate in the conyen-
ton held in Chicago last month, but their
editors read the proceedings-without publish
ing them, however.
Since then convention was held at Warm
Springs, N. Co. in favor of a road from Lake
Erie to the South Atlantic. In neither of
these conventions were Charleston and Savan-
nah alluded to as ports on the South Atlantic
worthy of moments consideration as the
terminus of railroad whose purpose was to
bring the products of the great West to the sea
for shipment to foreign countries.
Not man in either convention thought OF
any other port than ours Our neighboring
cities would furnish to such a road valuable
customers, they were connections to be made as
of course, Just as it would be we'll to interest
Columbia in the road, and seek Augusta as a
good distributing point. But Charleston and
Savannah were no more considered as ports
than Columbia or Augusta
When the time to subscribe for stock in the
Chicago road comes, we have no doubt but
that Charleston will be urged to give helping
hand. So will Savannah We hope they will
do So they ought to do so for although neith-
er of them have the harbor for which the west
is seeking, yet they cannot fail to be benefited
by the connection. But just as sure as the
Chicago road is built it will come through
Rabun Gap to Anderson, thence to Augusta
and Port Royal.-Port Royal Commercial

TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.
Brief Mention Of Local Incidents.

During themonth Of November, there were
2,7es, bales ofcotton Skipped from the Ander-
son depot, of which amount 2,S19 bales were
purchased by the merchantsof this town.
The annual communication of Hiram Lodge,
No. So, A. F. NJ, will be holden on next Mon
day night, sth of December, when the election
of officers for the ensuing year will take place.
The prettiest girl in Anderson will get mar
ried this winter, and numerous youths are
mourning over the distressing fact, while the
fortunate individual who won the prize=is con-
tinually smiling at his happy fate.
Thursday last was busy day in Anderson.
Besides the attraction of the circus, there we're
over two hundred bales of cotton sold in this
market, and the merchants we're kept employed
for the greater portion of the day.
Mr.. T. F. Wesson, who represents the house
of Moore, jenkins & Co., New York, was in
our town this week, looking after his numerous
customers in this latitude, and extending an
already large acquaintance among our citizens
generally.
The regular meeting of Anderson Grange,
No. II, takes place tomorrow friday at 10
o'clock. The annual election Of officers for
another year is among the business to come
before this meeting, and it is hoped there will
be full attendance of members.
The attendance on saleday was rather mea-
gre, but the public sales attracted much atten-
ton, and the bidding for real estate was quite
spirited occasionally. The crowd was orderly
and well-behaved, which was in striking con-
trast with several public gatherings recently.
We give report of the land sales in another
place.
Mr.. G. G. Haddon, general agent of the
Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine, has 10"
Gated in our town, and established his Office
at the jewelry store of Maj. Borstel, on Brick
Range. Mr.. Haddon is an energetic and 60
ahead man, and will take pleasure in exhibit
ing the merits of his excellent machine, which
took the premium at the recent Anderson and
Abbevlle Fairs.
The County Commissioners are urged to
erect free bridge over Seneca River, at some
suitable crossing, which will best accommodate
the inhabitants of the Fork generally. Should
this be determined upon, we hope the Board
will build strong and substantial bridge, such
as will be credit to their administration and
of lasting benefit to the County. 1t is extrava-
gance and folly to build poor bridges, which
have to be repaired every year or two.

BURNING Of a Mill.

On Sunday evening, about six O'Clock, fire
broke out iu Masters Mill, located on the
Browns Ferry road, three miles southwest of
Anderson, and had progressed so far when dis
covered that the building, together with the
machinery and other contents, proved total
loss-with the exception of the water wheel,
which was saved from destruction. Besides
the mill and cotton gins destroyed, two bales OF
cotton are included in the total loss, which will
not exceed 81 500. The origin of the fire is not
positivel; known. The alarm created much
excitement in town, and the ringing of the bells
brought large numbers from their homes. For
time there was considerable uneasiness among
some of our citizens, who own property In
that vicinity.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATEs.-The
Louisville Courier-Jomrnal comments as follows
on the result of the peaceful negotiations be-
tween Spain and the United States:
"Our dispatches report that Spain has finally
yielded all of the extravagant demands made
upon her by the United States, and that peace
is now assured The Virginius is to be surren-
dered and Burriel is to be tried by Spanish
tribunal. The concessions wrung from Spain
have been obtained because of her torn and
distressed condition. She could not afford
war, and she has reluctantly yielded to terms
which were not generous, but hard and relept-
less in the extreme. There is no glory that
can be attached to those who have wrung such
an apology from cripple. We are glad that
peace has been secured, but the result will
hardly be comforting to those who have been
anxious for war, and we venture the assertion
that the President is to-day filled with regret
instead of exultation. Now, that the sensa-
ton is over, let US turn our attention to home
affairs, and devote ourselves to the work OF
securing home reforms"

SHOWING Up SENAToR.-Dr. T. T. Moore,
the brother-in-law of Senator John ]. Patter
son, in q recent interview with the Columbia
correspondent of the Charleston Ne1cs and
Courier, says that he is cognzant of the rascal
ly steps Of Patterson's career, and that, in
point of character, he is swindler and cheat
of the first water He testifes to his own
knowledge, that the statements in the New
York San, showing him up, are true. He
asserts Furthermore, that, while paymaster
in the United States army, during the winter
of 1S61-62, at Wheeling, Virginia. he defraud-
ed the soldiers of an Ohio regiment out of
$500; and that, continuing this swindling
work upon the soldiers, he was finally rejected
as payn1aster by the Senate. Moore SAYS that
he was Patterson's private secretary at the
time, and knows whereof he speaks. He
further charges that Patterson tried to induce
him (Moore) to forge ex-Comptroller Leaph-
arts name to certain State guaranteed bonds
of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company They could not be used for lack Of
the signature, and Patterson proposed to sup
ply it in this way. He represents Patterson as
quakjng with fear Of an investigation into
the facts of his election as Senator. In that
election, Moore says that he did not hide his
purpose to buy votes, and actually paid for
them at prices varying from $3.50 to 81 900
each. These are damaging statements II
true and sustained where they will have their
full and legitimate effect, the private motives
of personal resentment and malignity, which
Moore does not deny influences him in making
them, will be overlooked in their important
bearing on the public interests and in their
tendency to protect the public morals.-Fh@-

The Great Eastern Circus and Menaqerie

Inc OF0Gt EGSttTu NlICuS dIIu WeIldYefl0.
The mammoth show made its appearance in
GU. town, according to previous announcement,
at an early hour on Thursday morning last.
The streets were thronged with people of all
ages, sizes, and conditions in life, long before
the time for the grand procession, and when
the parade took place, there was an immense
concourse on the public square. The crowd
has been variously estimated, and we have
heard many declare that it was the largest
gathering ever seen in Anderson. Our esti-
mate is that there were between five and six
thousand people present, but one of the show
men declared that the agent sold over seven
thousand tickets for the afternoon perfor-
nance.
The exhibition under the canvass is said to
have been creditable, and in keeping with the
extensive proportions of the outside display.
Some were highly pleased with the perfor-
mances, and others were thoroughly disgusted
with the whole concern. There is no doubt
that portion of our citizens have reason to
regret their attendance, as pickpockets were
busy plying their ayocation, and swindling
schemes we're numerous. The wheel of for
tune, three card monte, and other games Of
chance, were sedulously employed to entrap
the by-standers, and fleece the innocent (?) vic
tins, who were seeking to obtain large profits
from small investments. So long as the people
continue to patronize and encourage these vii
lainies, the opportunity will always be afforded
them to squander their hard earnings, for the
great success of this exhibition will only in
duce others to visit Anderson hereafter.

For the Anderson htclliqe,cer.

here Is that scattereth and yet increaseth and there
that withhOldeth than is meet but eadem 70
verty."-Froreros
We congratulate the country that the excite
ment about war with Spain is quietly SUBJ
siding, and must commend the cautious and
prudent manner in which the matter has been
met and disposed Of by the President and his
Cabinet; for we hold that the worst use men
and money can be put to is the sending the one
to death and the expenditure OF the other in
powder and ball-except upon the greatest and
direst necessity.
But the serious question still recurs: What
shall or ought Congress to do to relieve the
country? Shall we return at once to specie
basis and undergo the terrible shrinkage of
values in all property, the almost total destruc-
ton of manufacturing interests, the want OF
honest employment everywhere consequent
thereon, the loss of revenue to the govern
ment &c., or shall the government relax its
now stringent rules as regards currency, and by
reasonable expansion thus afford aid and relief
to all classes and still maintain its credit, AS
many able 6nanciers argue can be done?
The expenditure Of reasonable amount OF
public money, on proper internal improvements,
may help to develop the country and give en-
ployment to many now idle and suffering; and
in this view we commend the resolutions Of
fered in the State Senate by Gen. Smalls, OF
Beaufort, relating to the naval station at Port
ROYAL and the construction of railroad to
the granaries of the West
