In some places rain was accompanied with hail, which, however, did little injury. The Survivors' Association will meet here on Thursday of this week. All surviving members of the companies, known as the "Chester Blues," "Calhoun Guards," "Chestei Guards," "Catawba Guards," and "Pickent Guards," with those enlisting after the reorganizing of these companies, are desired and expected to be preseut. A committee, representing the survivors of the Fairfield companies of theSixth Regiment, will also bepres ent at the meeting. Steps will be taken thai will, doubtless, lead to the reunion of the survivors of the entire Regiment. Our Intendant and Wardens met on Saturday morning for the purpose of trying Moses Benson and .William VVilliaras, both colored, charged with 6ghting. The former had threatened, before the encounter, to give Williams a whipping ; but found more difficulty than he supposed in the execution of the threat. Ia other words, he was badly worsted. After heariDg the testimony, the Council decided that Benson was the originator ol the disturbance, and, consequently, imposed upon him a fine of five dollars. Williams, who is one of our worthy colored barbers, was relieved of all blame, and discharged. The spring sacrameutal meeting of the Presbyteriau Church closed last evening, preaching having begun on Friday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Trenholm was assisted by Rev. Dr, Girardeau.

Editor of the Enquirer: The question of selecting a candidate to represent the Fourth Congressional District in Congress is already attracting the attention of the people ; but for one, I must confess that I think it a matter about which there need be no perplexity in the nominating convention, a9 I feel sure there should be no division in sentiment among the people. I would respectfully urge the renominatiou of our present worthy representative, Hon. J. H. Evins, of Spartan burg. Col. Evins is well known in York county. During the last canvass he visited every section of the county, and addressed the people at various points, doing yeoman service iu fighting the battle for Home Rule and Re? -> ? - -- l ?J:* form, fie is entitled 10 as niuuu UCUIb IU1 his action in the sphere in which he labored during those memorable days, as is our worthy Governor; and for this, if nothing more, he is entitled to farther recognition at the hands of a grateful constituency. But farther than this, it can be claimed for Colonel Evins that he is a gentleman of fine attainments, dignified bearing aud unsullied character, an honor to the District he represents, and has, during his Congressional career, done nothing to forfeit the confidence of the people in the high trust confided to him. Of his availability there eau be no question. Thoroughly known throughout the Congressional District, highly popular?for he is Ci.1 of the people and makes friends wherever -joes?and a convincing and effective public speaker, he is eminently the proper person to bear the Democratic banner in the next campaign. Vox Populi. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. A MODEST BUT THRIFTY VILLAGE. ^ Hoodstown, S. C., April 29. He that bloweth not his own horn, his horn will not be blown. Therefore, we propose giviug a short outline of our little town. Hoodstown is situated about thirteen miles west of Yorkville, in that beautiful sectiou known as the Dark Corner. The village contains eighteen families and upwards of one hundred inhabitants. Mercautile and industrial interests are represented by two retail stores of dry goods and groceries, one blacksmith shop, a wagon shop, one shoe shop, one cahinet shop, three house builders, a steam mill and a cotton gin. A number are also engaged in agricultural pursuits. In addition to the foregoing, we have a fine school in successful operation, and one church. About a half mile from Hoodstown are eight families, situated in a group?all farmers. Our citizens are all temperate and frugal. Taking it all in all, our locality is in a fine section of the country?rich in natural resources, with as many handsome women as can be found in any population of equal number. The greatest drawback we have is our fmm mail facilities, our nearest ISWiatlwii m m V1H w acceptable post-office being five miles distant. Crops in this section are quite promisiug at the present time. Wheat and oats are especially fine. The farmers are fully up with the season and their work. P. GOVERNOR HAMPTON AT AIKEN. Governor Hampton and staff attended the Scheutzenfest at Aiken last week, and on Wednesday night were serenaded by the Aiken Democratic Club. In response to numerous calls, the Governor appeared on the balcony of the Highland Park Hotel, and addressed the assemblage in a brief speech, of which the following synopsis was telegraphed to the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist : My friends, when I came over I expected to perform no duty but drink lager, and shoot at a target, but as you have done me the honor to call on me, I acknowledge your kindness. I will speak of the past, the present and the hopes of the future. Two years ago, when hope had almost forsaken us, when I appeared here, trusting in the people, the justice of our cause and the truth of the Almighty, I to>. you that if true to yourselves and the women aud children of the State, yours would be the victory. I spoke to you as a Caroliniau to Carolinians, white and black, Northerners who lived here, or Germans who brought their household goods from the fatherland. I appealed to you that it was better to fail in struggling to do right than to succeed in doing wrong. Our platform was broad and strong enough for all. We ask them only to rescue our State from vampires and redeem it. We are largely iudebted to the colored voters of Carolina. I believed always that the colored men would find their truest frieuds were the good men of the South. Parties were divided by the color line. The colored people io Newberry have renomiuated the present State ticket. The colored people all recognize the benefits of Democratic rule, and now trust those whom two years ago they distrusted. Does not this repay you for your struggles ? Our State has gone further to settle the relations between the races thau any State in the South since the war. I promised to be the Governor of the whole people, and enforce all the laws equally, and I have done it. I feel it as the proudest triumph of my life to say that ray pledges have been fulfilled. I can tell the colored people that I will protect them so long as I am Governor, and they shall stand impartially under the aegis of the Constitution. I met men here to day i whom I have met beneath the flashing of the guDs. Our flag was never dishonored, but i when I surrendered I recognized that wt i | were but part of the whole Uuion. I knew j that ours was a common interest and a desti t ny, and I have tried to put behind all bitter memories of the past, and look forward to s > glorious end, where States shall be as dis ; tinct as billows in one sea. I am striving tc i work out the destiny of South Carolina without forgetting the memories of the Lost Cause, under the flag of the great Republic. I trust, my friends, you will devote yourselves tc that, and whenever I meet such a man I will extend him my hand. I am willing to recognize the service of the President, for Republican though he is, he can rise above party to be a patriot. [Great applause.] And I will support him so long as he will give equal rights to all. I know not what phase State politics will take next year, or who will be your standard bearer, but if your platform be broad and catholic, I j venture to say that the Republicans will put j no ticket in the field, and all parties, white ! and black, will forget party for a while and i j unite upon men who will give them truth, justice and rignt. General Moise was then called on and took a bird's eye view of affairs, paying a I glowing compliment to Governor Hampton, , counselling broad views for the next cam, paign. Three cheers were then given for Major Theo. G. Parker who, though called i od, was not present. The band played Dixie , and the crowd dispersed. From the News and Courier of Thursday. EX-GOVERNOR MOSES. 1 The Real Reason why he was not brought back to South Carolina. Capt. J. S. Conner, who was specially commissioned by Governor Hampton to arrest exGovernor F. J. Moses Jr., in New York, on 1 a requisition upon the Governor of New York, charging him with swindling Mr. Jas. Allan, jeweller of this city, by means of a forged note, returned to this city from New York on Tuesday morning, by the steamship Atlanta, hut failed to bring with him the native young Governor. During an interview yesterday, Capt. Conner informed a reporter for the News and Courier of all the interesting circumstances of his trip, and the reason why Moses was not brought to Charleston in his custody. He says that he went to New York on purely financial business connected with the purchase of a steamboat. When he reached New York, Sheriff Bowen, who went on the same train with him from Charleston, hand-? ed him the requisition from Governor Hampton, and for the first time notified him of his appointment as a special agent of the State of South Carolina to make the arrest. Shortly after receiving his commission and the warrant of arrest from Sheriff Bowen, he was met by Detective Larrigan, who for several weeks had beeu specially detailed to watch Moses and who had him spotted and knew his every movement. After a cousulta* ?mlfk Qliaxiflf Rnu'on f!onf Plnnnpp was IIU LI TT I til UUV1 l Li VU^/VI v/vwwv. ???v placed in possession of all necessary information, and Sunday night two weeks ago Detective Larrigan arrested Moses on the street and conveyed him to the central police station, and handed in the requisition to Superintendent Walling. On Monday morning, on returning from Jersey City, where he had spent the previous night, Capt. Conner found a note at his hotel from Larrigan telling him to go at once to the central station. He reached there about 1 o'clock P. M., and found that Moses had employed counsel, had secured a writ of habeas corpus, and was to be brought before Judge Donahue the next morning at 10 o'clock. Finding that affairs had taken this turn, Capt. Conner that evening left New York for Albany, and saw the Governor the next morning, and secured from him a warrant of arrest in recognition of the requisition from Governor Hampton. Before 10 o'clock A. M. he telegraphed the superintendent of police in New York to hold Moses, and that he had secured the Governor's warrant. The next day (Tuesday) he reached New York again, and found that the superintendent of police had received hisdispatch in time, and that the hearing of Moses' case had been postponed until 1 o'clock P. M. of that day At that hour the case came up, but was postponed until the following Friday. At that time it was postponed until the following Monday, and then there was another postponement until at last it came up together with a similar case of a mau named White from Massachusetts before Judge Lawrence, who rendered his decision on Tuesday last, the 23rd instant. In the meantime Moses was turned over to Capt. Conner upon Governor Robinson's warrant, but not in time to take the Charleston steamer of that day. He then weut to the superintendent of police, and that functionary positively refused to keep Moses any longer, stating as the reason for his refusal to receive Moses that it required two men to wait upon him all the time. Capt. Conner .wanted to know why any special license was given to Moses, aud why they didn't lock him up like any other criminal, instead of allowing him to parade around the streets escorted by two officers. In answer to this very pertinent inouirv. Cant. Conner was advised by the super 1 ? * t iflteuHent of police to take the erring Governor to the Tombs, and have him committed there. This advice was followed, but the justice at the TombB refused to receive the prisoner on the ground that he had no power to do so, but informed Capt. Conner that the sheriff of tbeEldrige street jail would take charge of Moses if he would pay his board. Having no funds of his own to spare and having received no authority to draw upon any one in South Carolina, Capt. Conner saw nothing to do but to take charge of Moses himself. He accordingly took his prisoner with him to the St. Dennis Hotel, and kept him in sight for the balance of that day. Finding it too expensive an operation to entertain his Excellency at the hotel, and having no means of procuring any funds except by borrowing on his own personal note, Capt. Conner put Moses on his parole and gave him a dollar a day to support himself with. Moses reported to him daily, got his money and went off, until Saturday last, when Capt. Conj ner told him to pack up his trunk aud come j back to go with him on board of the steamer J Charleston, which left at 3 o'clock that afterj noon. Moses expressed every willingness to j go, and weut off to get his trunk ; but he did : not return, and Capt. Conner, being pressed I for time, was compelled to take the steamer and leave Moses behind, i Capt. Conner describes Moses as being in a | very pitiable condition, without money, without friends, and even forsakeu by the woman with whom he has been living for some time ; in New York City. He says that the legal ! points having all been settled, it will be an j easy matter for anyone who is furnished with | the means by the State to go to New York i now and take Moses, as the requisition is in i Albany, and the warrant of the Governor of i New York is at police headquarters in the i City of New York. The cost would be very small, and he is of the opinion that Moses would be glad to get back. The whole difficulty in the case appears to have arisen from j the fact that the Slate of South Carolina furrr.no n ?! frl DVOflllp hpr riWTl and the parties deputized to make the arrest very naturally refused to undergo the expense themselves, with the uncertainty of ever being refunded. The York Bonds.?If the parties inter| ested in the litigation of the railroad bonds j in York county are not careful, they will ! succeed in having the Narrow Gauge road gobbled up by the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road, or some other corporation, j that will put an end to competition, and raise the rates. We have no sympathy whatever for the bonds or for the apparently fraudulent manner iu which they were issued. But the Chester and Lenoir road certainly should not be crushed out. It brings down ' freight charges to Chester, and by the new ! law, the reduction at that place compels re i duction of freights along the whole line bet tween Charlotte and Columbia. Besides, acs tive efforts are making to secure a narrow r gauge line from North Carolina to George town, in our State, of which road, the Chester and Lenoir must be an important connecli ing link. In this way the people of Fair field are indirectly interested in the matter.? i Fairfield Herald.
