One of our leading business men remarked
to us recently that there was no doubt that
the business Of Anderson from this time on
would be great deal better than It has ever
been in the past. He regards our advanta-
ges as equal to those Of any town in the
State, and says that our merchants mean
TO exert every effort to extend their trade in
every direction.
Last Friday was the biggest cotton day of
the season. About $50 bales were received
at the depot, while quite number were
thrown of at different places because the
owners of them did not care to wait until
they could be weighed. At one time during
the day the string of wagons reached from
the depot to McCully's Corner, distance of
about six hundred yards.
The schedule of the Greenville and CO.
lumbia Railroad has again been changed,
and this time TO the disadvantage of the
towns on the upper end of the road. The
( train now leaves Anderson at $40 in the

about 7.15, an hour and quarter later than
by the previous schedule. We now get the
mail about 8 o'clock.

toned. whether from choice or
through sympathy because Of the
fraud perpetrated upon him by The
famous Electoral Commission, is hard
to BAY. In view OF this, the startling
announcement is made with authority
that Mr.. Tilden does not desire to be
a candidate again. lie is growing I,
he an aged man ard desires rest from
the constant worry and irritation
consequent upon active participation
in politics" His fortune is ample,
his ambition and his political aspira-
rations have been satisfied, and the
inclination is growing stronger every
day to enjoy the quiet comforts and
peace Of home. He was once clectC q
President Of the United States, once
too often cheated out Of his right, and
now the question arises, whether he
will not live better in history as an
elected and cheated President than to
run again and serve four years. The
South, Notwithstanding Gen. Gary's
preference, is willing to let the old
man rest.

Gen. McGowan's Election.

IT seems that the election Of Gener-
81 MCGOWAN rs Associate Jnslice Of
the Supreme Court, has given general
satisfaction throughout the State.
He has devoted his life to the study
and practice Of the law, and when he
was yet young man, he took stand
at the barwhich it took others years OF
labor and study to reach. No ore
who knows him will doubt for a mo.
ment that he will adorn the high and
responsible position TO which he has
been promoted. South Crrolina has
no truer son, or ore to whom she
would sooner turn with confidence in

judge Mclver's Declination.

The letter, announcing the fact that
Judge McIvcr declines the position
of Chief Justice Of the State Supreme
Court to which he had been so recent
ly elected, was unexpected and the
news created no little speculation in
Legislative circles as we'll as through.
out the State. Mr.. McIver's promi-
nence in public affairs and the known
integrity of his private life, gave just
cause to the state to congratulate
herself upon his election aud upon Sc
curing the advantages Of his legal
skill in deciding the important qucs-
tions to be brought before the court
during the next few years. 1t was
universally hoped that the Legislative
committee, which decided upon the
vacancy, had canvassed the entire
ground, and that when July comes,
Judge McIver, without trouble: might
enter upon the duties of his office.
His refusal therefore to accept the
office has disappointed every calcula-
ton and thrown the whole matter in
worse confusion than ever before.
We believe, however, that Judge Nc
Iver's decision Is the result Of matuIc
delibcratiOn and not made save by
the advice Of others as true to the
state as himself, whose opinions are
entitled to the higest respect from
our citizens. His motive is higher
than mere personal advancement,
and based upon sincere desire to
take no step which might leopard any
interest Of the state in the slightest
degree. If in the course Of events 1t
be decided that there was no vacan-
cy and therefore the Legislature had
no occasion or right to Oil vacancy
that did not exist, disorganization
Of the highest judicial tribunal known
TO the state would be the inevitable
result. Such a decision would not
only impair the legality Of its com
position but would leave on the
bench only two Judges. Willard and
McGowan, which would certainly
imperll the welfare of the state.
However desirious it may be to Sc
cure full bench Of our best jurisls,
we believe Judge McIvcr acted dclib-
erately and wisely.

Sunday Freiqht Traits.

TIE Florence ITmos favors the
passage Of the Act to prevent freight
trains running OH Sunday. 1t says ::
"1'hcre are many reasons Why The Act
should be passed, prominent among
which are, that men need rest as well
as brutes-rest Of body AMI Of mind
and that it is violation Of physical
laws not TO rest one day in seven.
Statistics ahundanly prove that men
who habitually work on the Sabbath
soon wear out. There are highar req
sons why the Sabbath should he re-
spccted by railroad corporations.
Moral responsibility must rest some
where, shirk it rs they may. fit is
getting TO be belief That railroad
men can violate the Sabbath upon the
ground Of eXpediency, it is high time
for the fallacy TO be exploded"

Ireland.

This country, rendered historic rs
much for its misfortunes as anything
else, has for the last year presented
the appearance Of pcnt up volcano
making every effort to burst forth in
q terrible eruption. This condition
of Irish affairs is due to long series
of troubles finding their origin in gov
ernmental oppression and political.
exclusion by the English. The eli
max has been reached in the present
year by the close competition OF
American products and the terrible
suffering consequent upon bad sea-
son and general failure OF crops
throughout tho country. Tenants
nave failed to meet their rents and
landowners are pushing them for pay
mcnt. In the midst Of this state of
things, Irish leaders at home have
advised them 10 pay Is far as posi-
bic and to resist by force all demands
beyond their ability 10 pay. Some
measure Of relief, by way Of conccs-
sion, must be made by the govern
ment or the trouble is not yet ended.
Starving people recognize no law.

boring hard but turning off work

cd and bills introduced daily, apd, a,
the present rate, if they adjourn before
Christmas, more than three hundred
bills will be left on the calendar for
the next Legislature: Some very i'm.
postant matters have been passed
upon, and among them we mention
tue bill to prevent and punish the ip.
termarrying of the RACES; and also
tho public debt question h9s heen
practically settled and we hope is for
ever beyond the reach OF politics ;
alao the bill relating 10 forfeited lands
which is q very humane and just
measure also the supply bill and
general appropriation bills haye made
rapid progress and it is thaHght that
the tax next year will not exceed
0 2 mills-possibly come under.
While these matters have received
the necessary attention they deserved,
there are other important matters OF
general interest which seem to bc
dragging slowly along. The registra-
tion law, strange TO say, seems to
meet with little help. The bill to re-
peal the '.'.Two Box Law" one for
State and county officers and the 9TH
er for Congressman and Presidential
Electors, meets with stubborn oppo-
sition from the up-country and will
probably fail. The bill to establish
an Agricultural College on the old
University grounds at Columbia for
white children, comes up we'll sup.
ported and will possibly pass. 1t
provides for the restoration Of the
Agricultural College Fund, the pro.
ceeds Of which were invested in State
bonds, and afterward gobbled up by
Financial Agent Kimpton. The Trus-
tees Of the University, through its
committee Of which Hon. Samuel
Dibble was chairman; ask for anlhori-
ty TO use the interest of this fund for
the education Of white children in Co.
lumbia as we'll as Of colored children
at Orargcburg with free tuition, also
to establish for each Congressional
Distric, such additional scholarships
rs The income will allow. 1t is pro.
posed to iun the school With three
professors, tuition free TO all children.
The bill giving the power to school
districts OF local taxation as far rs
l l-2 mills is still hanging fire with:
out even vote. 1t does not seem
to meet with tho favor its supporters
expected. The bill granting divorces
for adultery is in its passage with
several warm supporters. We hope
it will die befole it reaches its third
lcading-we want no such law in this
State. The bill 10 facilitate the CON-
plelioh of the old Blue Ridge Rail
road is under discussion and we hope
the Legislature will act cautiously in
this matter. The road has already
cost the Slate nearly four millions Of
dollars in money besides her endorse
ment for one and n half millions
more. 1t is estimated that five mill
ions will he needed yet to complete
it. This is a huge undertaking for
al impoverished peope and we trust
:hc mcn,l'ers will consider il we'll be-
fore they act. A bill appropriating
$4,000 for the purchase Of artificial
legs for Confederate soldiers was
passed to it's third reading.
