THE COUNTY FAIR.

Tho Thirteenth Annual Fair nf the
Anderson Farmers and Mechanics AS
sooiatlon will be held at the Fair Grounds
In Anderson, beginning on Wednesday,
tho Goth. and ending on Friday, the 22nd
day of October next. Mr.. =. Willet Pre-
vost enters this year upon his frat term
IS President of tho Association, having
been elected last summer to the position
in the place Of Hon. 3. L. Crayton, who
declined reelection. We hope the
same generous and extensive support
will DO accorded the new management
which has heretofore becn extended, for
we are satisfied that every effort Will be
made by the officers this year to render
thc Fair great success.
Several additional features OF Interest
have been added to tho exhibition, and
the rate OF admission has been reduced to
twenty-five instead of fifty cents, so that
all may attend. These agricultural fairs
are very improving to the country, and
deserve e very liberal patronage. Not
only should our people attend and take
their families, but they should. as far as
possible, put some ono or more articles
on exhibition. AS many OF our planters
as possible should show specimens OF
their Various crops and OF stock, our
housekeepers should contribute to the
exhibition in the household department,
s>::. JoNs,s iauiSs ysuuuiu contribute to
the ornamental and fancy department.,
and every industry should endeavor to
have specimens of It's work shown. The
exhibition can only DO made success by
united effort. and II Will not cost any
person much trouble TO contribute to
this effort. Let us determine, then, to
render this Fair the best we have ever
had. five will all oxhibitns many ar
ticles as possible, and then be sure to ut.
tend and carry our families on both days,
as tho admission is SO cheap, il viii be

New York, September "a.
| General Hancock, responding to Theo-
dore Cook, of Cincinnati, who had writ
ten to him concerning the Generals at.
| claims, replies rs follows, under date of
the 23d:
Your letter of tho goth inst. has been
| received. regret that you are disturbed
| about that bug -becz, Southern war
claims. The people can not be misled
claims in the interest OF persons who
were iii the rebellion can in any degree
be cOuntenanced. !. Is an imputation Of
disloyalty such as used to be made
against Democrats even when they. were
in arms defending the country. So far
as 1t touches me, I dencunce it. The
government can never pay q debt or
grant pension or reward of any sort for
waging war upon its existence, nor
could be induced 20 approve or encour-
age tho payment Of such debt, pension
or reward. Nobody expects or wants
would be an insult to the Intelligence
and honor our people. When the re-
bellion was crushed tho heresy OF seces.
sion in every form and in every incident
went down forever. It Is thing of the
dead past. We movo forward, not back
| ward. II I were President would veto
| all Legislation which might come before
me providing for the consideration or
payment Of claims OF any kind for losses
or damages by persons who were in the
| rebellion, whether pardoned or not. In
| relation to Union war claims tho govern
ments obligations to its defenders como
| first. They nre lasting and sacred. The
public laws Of civilized nations do not in
general recognize claims for injury to
property resulting from operations of
war, nevertheless our government has
treated with great indulgence tho claims
for losses and damages suffered by Un-
ion men from the military operation OF
the war of tho Union. But as hcstilities
wore closed moro than fifteen years ago,
claims of that nature arc now mostly in
the hands of brokers, or persons Ner
than the original sufferers, arc beco' ling
stale, and, In my Judgment, might fair ly
be considered as barred by the lapse OF
time, and If hereafter entertained at ALL
should b9 subjected to tho strictest
scrutiny. Yours very truly,

ernment as The New England States, and
In this assertion shows his gross igno
rance. The South has very few import
Ing cities, and buys her merchandise
principally in the North. We pay tho
custom charges on all the foreign goods,
groceries, &c, that VIC consume, and che
internal revenue on the whiskey and to-

The New York HeraM sometimes gets

Republican friends some very pointed

the credit or honor OF tho nation. That
is rather to bo expected Of party do

careful good behavior TO couciliate the
confidence OF the public, In order that
their predOminance should not be short

even moderate amount II misconduct
would send them back IL 10 very hope
less minority.
These very practical reasons why the
Democratic party will not pursue any
revolutionary policy 10 tho injury OF the
established institutions OF property or
government, should convince every sem
siblo man that there Is no danger to the
country I'm Democratic triumph. 1t
would, of course, be more careful,
economical and conciliatory than tho Re.
publican party, which has grown profit.
gate and corrupt by too long use of
power. AT least, appearances indicate
that tho people of tho Union arc becoin-
ing satisfied of this fact, and that they
will risk the change In November.
