Lrr There bb no LvscHixa I?Columbia, March 28.?Governor Richardson te-dey notified Sheriff Crawford, ef York County, thai orders bad been issued for the placing of the Jenkins Rifles, of Yorkville, at his command to proteet the four York County {rieoners threatened with lynching and now eld in the Richland jail for safekeeping, and that the Rifles would report to him for duty at his wish. In order that the safety of the prisoners might be ensured, Qoternor Richardson suggested that the sheriff detail at least ten men of the Rifles to oome with him to Columbia next week, when the York County CoaH'Wltt meet, and return with the prise-i ners and himself to Yorkrllle. Capt Lindsay of the Rifles has written that be can have thirty men available for the maintenance ef order in case of an emergenoy. Governor Richardson's action in the matter was taken on information received from one of the highest Judicial officers ol the circuit to the effect that a lynching .would probably follow the return of these prisoners to Yorkville without a military guard, en the request of Sheriff Crawford for such Assistance, anil the renresnnlatinni of other citizens of York Ceunty. Three of the prisoners are to be tried foi the murder of Mr. Abernathy near Catawbc Junction last month, and the fourth foi rape. The Governor is determined that the law shall take its course. An Act is en thi statute beoks requiring that militiamei when called upon to perform such duty a: this shall receive a dollar nod a half a day but no appropriation has been made to enrrj it out. The Rifles will have a goo 1 clain against the State, however, for this service * The railroad Tare of the men who come ove to escort the prisoners will be paid out o the Governor's civil contingent fund.?Cor.

Compliment to Jvn<in Wallace.?Judge Wallace, who presides at this term of court, is welotne to Hampton, where he on previous occasions won the esteem of the people by his genial manners, great ability and absolute impartiality in dispensing justice. As long as lime endures bis fearless front to the foe in 1870 will be remembered by the people of South Carolina. Nearly everybody has heard of the Wallace House, of the fearless Speaker of that body, who, amid the stormy scenes that attended* the demiso of the Radical party and the grand, glorious resurrection of the Democracy was the central figure of that heroic band which followed his clarion call to victory. In the borne of the editor of the Guardian hangs the photograph of (he Wallace House, and the likeness of the illustrious leader is the striking centre of that galaxy of noble men who una we 1 by bluo coats, bayonets and riotous I mobs of lawless vicious negro legislators, dared and did so much in the great struggle for the establishment of home rule. Judge Wallace is always welcome to Hampton, and is no stranger to the paople.?llampton Guardian.

John A.Young, Postmaster at sarloite, died at his residence in that cityv tt Sunday, aged 76 years, from apoplexy. We knew Gen. Young well for many ears. He was the Undo of Chief Justice '. D. Simpson's wife, and he always had rest love for the State of South Carolina, rom our personal knowledge of Gen. nnniv tvo run fnllv onrrnlinrsfn wliaf harlotto Chronicle so well says of him in te following extract: Iii his earlier life General Young repreinted Iredell onunly in the Slate Legislate. He was a Jne speaker, and at all rith a pleasant smile and a kind and enniraging word for all, he could not fail to aro friends by the* score. That he was a rue and faithful christian will fee testified > by every one w}io knew him. Soon afier he came to Charlotte he was lected deacon of the First Presbyterian hurch, and for nearly 85 years he has een an elder in that church. Ilis generous deposition manifested itself on all occaiona. When he was no longer able to serve in he war, he continued to serve the Confedr?te cause by clothing the North Carolina roops with the products of his woolen mills, is long as ho had wealth at his command, t was at the disposal of any one in need ef .ssistancc. Whca that wealth was swept way, he did not murmur. He proved the ;cnuinencss of his Christianity by .his ihildlike faith in God, and by the cheerful tnd unfaltering manner in which he bowed o the Divine will. Ilis most intimate friend never heard him ltter an unkind word about any person, ne - w ?? 'pfcisun iinu vrongod him. Jlo was so upright, honorail e aud honest, that, in others he saw only ho reflex image of himself. He possessed uch a large share of true Christian charity hat ho was loth to believe in the perfidy of thcrs. Kind, genial, gentlo and affectionte. the character of John A.

The Baptist Sunday School Convention ot York caunty was he'.d at thijplaoe last weak. The convention opened on Friday morning which was spent in organising and disoussions pertaining to ohuroh and Sunday 8ohool work. The following .evening at 8 o'olook the introductory sermon was preaoh* ai by Rev. F. G. Hickson. ot Uiokory Grove. On Saturday eveaing the saloon question was discussed. As first speaker on this subject Rev. J. A. "White, M oderator, inlro- v duced Hon. B. J. Gold, who briefly but forcibly argued that whiskey saloons should be abolished. Mr. Gold was followed by . Rev. R. G. Patrick, of Yorkvllle,- whose arall w"ho heard it. He contendetjftliot prohi- *" lion does prohibit, notwithstanding the gen-' eral opinion to the contrary, and presented some of the roost convincing proofs. The Moderator then introduced as next .speaker Rev. F. C. Hickson, who havdbg opened hie discussion by a few humorous remarks, created a special interest and held the audience spell-bound by an unusilly able argument. He maintained that the free traffio of liquor would be the most effective means by which * to rid our country of its greatest curse. As an illustration he oontended that tho crime and bloodshed committed at every cross road, and at our doors would create such a disgust, that the people would rise unanimniialv in rahallinn Iifrainat armr-nhanm. and say to the barkeeper, "down with your saloons, we will not tolerate them 1" s These diioussions upon the liquor quea(ion were the ablost wo hare ever beard, 5 and all who failed to hear them missed a I treat. I Sunday morning having sroi'iod prop!, tious, the ehurch was crowded, many failing to secure seats. Beri 11. 0. Patrick filled the pulpit and delivered an eloquent dise oourse. Exercises closed Sunday oveaing with a sermon by the latt er. No little interest was manifested in this 0 convention by all denominations, and we hope much good will bo derived from it. i, Through hosto wo negleoted to State in .1 our last communication that the Three C's e Company severed thoir connection with the >f South Carolina Railway Co. on the lltfc all., 1 and now have the road under their own .. u- .4nanswM'-* > Our municipal election was held last r Monday whioh resulted in the elcotiou of ? the following: Ihte.ndant, N.

More than twenty pieoes of bone oamo out of her leg, one piece being about the bizc of the small end of a walking cane, and nearly threo inches long. The hole left by taking these pieces out was es large as ago>d rized walnut. She was not able to walk a sten for eight months, and wis afterwards compelled to uso oriitohes for netrly a year. The dootori said there was no cure, oqd advisod amputation of the limb. This I would not ooaseot to, but put her to taking Swift's Spooifio (S. S. 8.), leaving off all other treatment.
