EIGHTH ANNUAL FAIR /!
FLATTERING OPENING.
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED.

It is with the greatest pleasure that we
are enabled to announce that this years ex-
hibition at the Fair Grounds is in every
respect equal to the most sanguine expecta-
tions of its most enthusiastic friends, and
exceeds in the quantity as well as the quality
of articles entered the exhibition Of last
year. The entries in nearly all the depart
ments exceed those of last year.
The display in the needle and fancy
work and household departments is prooa-
bly, better than it has ever been before, and
it is most gratifying to see the impro, ,Vement
in the manufact,rer's and field crop depart
ments. The entries in the liYe stock de-
partment were. mot concluded up to the
time We werl It tc press, but the promise for
fine disp LAY in all the divisions OF this
most i'm poEtant branch Of the exhibition
was gof I'd. We we're particularly impressed
with he superior appearance of the articles,
man Y Of which show that they were pre-
pa ed expressly for this exhibition, thus
e .sincing growing general interest in the
Fair, which must be quite agreeable to the
officers and directors, as it is certainly a
mark of confidence and approval of their
management. The committees were quite
busy on Wednesday making their investiga-
tion ofthe articles presented, as under the
change in the regulations they are compell-
ed to hand in their awards this morning in
stead of on tomorrow. The attendance on
Wednesday was good for the first day of the
Fair. and the indications are that there will
be very large crowds present on to-day and
tomorrow. The Spartanburg Cornet Band
is in attendance and their excellent music
adds much to the enjoyment of those in at
tendance.
Governor Chamberlain is expected to ar
rive in Anderson this afternoon, and while
here, will be the guest of Judge Reed. he
has consented to deliver an address upon
agricultural topics during the Fair, and it
has been arranged for Mr.. B. F. Crayton,
the President of the Fair Association, to
introduce him to those in attendance on
Friday at noon, so that all present at that
time will have an opportunity of heaIng
the Governors speech. He returns TO
Columbia on Saturday, we understand, and
we hope his brief sojourn in our midst may
prove pleasant occasion for him.
The trotting matches will come of on
Friday, and the laughable entertainment OF
mule race will be afforded those present
on that day.
The exercises of Friday will conclude
with tournament, at which number OF
knights are expected to ride. 1t will no
doubt be very pleasant affair, as each par
ticipant is determinsd to crown the Queen
Of Love and Beauty, while only one of the
number can enjoy that privilege. We trust
there will be q, large attendance both days,
and can assure those who come that they
will enjoy themselves.

The latest local New York sensation is the
expected appearance as dramatic star OF
Oakley Hall, Esq, ex-Mayor of that city. 1t
is. said he will appear in a play written ex-
pressy for him, or by him, with the aid of
his wife, it is not certain which, The Balti-
more American, referring to the matter says:
What was believed when the report was first
circulated to be only joke, turns out to be
fact after all. Oakley Hall, ex-Mayor of New
York, is going on the stage and is now study
ing up new play, in which he is to make
his debut. Hall is clever fellow, bright
rather than solid, who has attained considera-
BILE success as a lawyer, and achieved magni-
ficent failures in public life. The plea of not
attending to his business as the chief munich
pal officer of the metropolis, saved him from
going to prison like Tweed, or exiting himself
after the fashion of other Tammany chiefs
Mast handsomely advertised him a few years
ago. and SO, wherever he may appear in the
new profession he has chosen, his physiog-
nomywill be recogniz ID.

FOR THE TEXAS PACIFIC
RAILWAY.

Hon. Thomas A. Scott, President of the
Texas and Pacific Railway Company, ad-
dressed a long and exhaustive letter to the
late Railroad Convention at st. Louis, upon
tine invitation of the Hon. Stanley Matthews,
Pre- sident, and other members of the conven-
ton. The eminently practical document is
too long for our columns, and we must be
content with giving up our editorial space to
such brief extracts as may indicate its drift
and suggest its substance.
In concord with the main object Of the con-
ventiop, which was to solicit congressional aid,
Col Scott proves the national character of the
Texas Pacific Railway, and bases it upon the
following propositions:
l. Upon the advantages to the Government
itself in the direct management and large
economies of its military, Indian, postal and
territorial departments.
:. Upon the advantages of the people of
the country OF competing line between the
3. Upon its beneficial effect especially upon
all the lines of railway in the South.
4. Upon the advantages accruing to the
leading Industries of the whole country, by
Inc demand Tor labor and material of all
kinds, consequent upon the construction OF
the line; and,
5. Upon the increased revenue of the gov
eminent from its sales of lands brought into
market by the road, and the great additional
values that will be created as basis for taxa
ton for the government.
n support OF the first opposition he refers
to the enormous expense now incurred by
the government in atfording inadequate pro-
lection to the region Of country through
which this road will run; to the fact that
,welve regiments Of troops, each costing
81, 100000 year, are now employed in Texas,
New Mexico and ARIZONA, which are still un-
.ble to protect life and property while along
he existing Pacific railroads only two regi-
nents are required, which afford ample pro-
ection. The existing roads had reduced the

The United States District Judgeship.

NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 70, 1870.
Editor Bulletin:
AS there seems to be some difference of
opinion regarding the recommendation of the
bar of this city and State, of suitable and
competent successor of Judge Durell why not
call, on the part of the legal profession, unani-
mously for the appointment of John Il. New,
a gentleman thoroughly versed in every prin-
ciple of civil, commercial, common and
criminal law, and whose disingenuousness,
honesty, ability and force of character so
eminently qualify him for any position
wherein justice may be demanded? The
people of Louisiana have right to ask the
appointment of such man as United States
District Judge-one not only identified with
Louisiana, but with the whole country-one
whose judgment and prejudices are not guided
nor biased by political surroundings.

There have been no changes in the situa-
ton in Cuba; there is no commercial reason,
for the export of sugar and tobacco from the
island goes on, showing that production has
not been seriously interfered with by the
troubles there, and it would be much more
sensible to negotiate a more favorable CON-
mercial treaty with Spain to relieve our com
merce with the island from injurious restric-
tions than to fit out feet of iron clads and
heavy ships at an expense of several nil
lions, as the Navy Department has been doing
for the last few weeks. What the American
people want is not war but peace.-N I.
