action, I have produced in an inappreciable period of time, by a simple manipulation of the machine, a vaporic substance, at one explosion of a volume of ten gallons, having an elastic energy of 10,000 pounds to the square inch. This I solemnly assert, and am ready to verify by my oath. I only ask of the public their indulgence, until a new and perfect machine, now rapidly approaching completion! is finished, when I will publicly demonstrate that which I now publicly assert. ^ John W. Kekly. Correspondence or the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, July 12,1875. My correspondeuce of last week was necessarily closed before the main event of the celebration of Independence Day at this place transpired. Late in the afternoon, the Hook and Ladder Company, of Chester, and the Vigilant Fire Company, of Columbia, all col' " ' 3 ored, tormed id procession, uuu uimtucu through our principal streets, halting on Main, for the purpose of hearing an address from Judge T. J. Mackey, who had announced his intention of presenting the home company with a United States flag. Before the presentation of the colors, the Vigilants spent some time in displaying their flue management of their engine, and testing its elevating powers. The projection of three streams, meeting and crossing each other in the air, presented a pretty spectacle. The performance of the Vigilants having arrived at a successful and satisfactory termination, the Hook and Ladder reformed in line, and began shouting vociferously for Judge Mackey. A rostrum was extemporized out of a drygoods box, upon which the Judge mounted and delivered a speech, moderate in its tone and one tolerably well received by his many listeners. He said it was a melancholy fact that the celebration of the Fourth was confined to the colored element; but hoped, upon the return of the next anniversary, the members of both races would unite in doing honor to the memories of Independence Day. The colored people were urged to keep in mind the fact that upon that day the principle was declared that all men are born free and equal. Their race had taken no part in the struggle that secured the establishment of that principle ; still it was their duty and privilege to commemorate the leading event of that struggle. The speaker alluded to the history of the negro race while in bondage. In conclusion, he addressed himself more particularly to the Hook and Ladder Company, and referred to their duties as firemen, and to the kindly feeling entertained for them by the whites. The presentation of the flag then followed, which called forth considerable cheering. Judge Mackey was succeeded by ex-Postmaster Richardson, who devoted the greater part of his time to the denial and refutation of the assertion that his race had taken no part in the Revolutionary War. In winding up his political harangue, he urged upon his brethren to stick together, and put no confidence in Democratic declarations. As he is a candidate for the office of Sheriff of this county, there is no difficulty in account ing for the milk in the political cocoanut. On Wedesday, a most refreshing rain fell in our town and extended throughout the county. The sun, which had been pouring down a tropical heat for several days, moderated his rays, and exhausted human nature revived. The desire to seek refuge in a cooler clime has abated. At least, those unfortunate individuals who cannot conveniently, get awav.. have concluded to remain and fight it out on the Chesterline if it takes all summer. A meeting of the Republicans of Chester township was held in the Court House on Friday for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Republican Convention that assembled on the next day. The attendance was rather slim, being for the most part composed of those who make politics a profession. John Lee, colored, was chosen Chairman. After taking the chair, aud explaining the object of the meeting, he called for the nomination of delegates. Nominations were made and elections ensued until twelve delegates, all colored, were chosen to the County Convention. With the exception of a brief misunderstanding between ex-Postmaster Richardson aud the Chairman, the meeting was tame and uninteresting. The proceedings wore upon their face a cut and dried look. Judge T. J. Mackey made a few remarks in which he exhorted his fellow Republicans to be true and faithful to their party. He announced his inability to be present at the Convention on Saturday, but hoped that the deliberations would be marked with harmony and good feeling. He is one man who is beyond the comprehension of ordinary minds. One day his Conservative views are very pronounced, while on the next his Radicalism knows no bounds. The Republican County Convention, composed of about forty delegates, assembled in the Court House on Saturday. The giving of a just and vivid description of the incidents and proceedings of the meeting would be a simple impossibility. The meeting was called to order at twelve o'clock, and the hour of four had arrived before a permanent or ganization had been effected. Sometimes there would be a dozen or more delegates on the floor, all speaking or attempting to speak, at one and the same time. The efforts of the Chairman to keep order were fruitless; his orders were treated with the most supreme indifference. Willis Blackwell, and A. 8. Richardson, both colored, after a considerable time spent in wrangling and making "pints" of order, were elected temporary chairman aud secretary of the Convention. At this stage of the proceedings, Dublin Walker, the colored Senator of the county, obtaining the floor, informed the delegates of the disgracefulness of their conduct. The Senatorial effusion had a subduing effect upon the delegates, who proceeded to the election of a permanent chairman, in a more quiet and decent manner, which resulted in the selection of John Lee, colored. But the impression made by Walker's speech soon vanished, as the sequel showed. Several hours were consumed in performing the immaterial work of electing a permanent secretary. The members of the Convention acted as if im pressed with the idea that this official had the party nominations in his hands. They were several times on the brink of coming to blows, hut did not, preferring to cast obnoxious epithets upon each other. Alex. George, who was the only white delegate, was chosen permanent secretary. Having effected an organization, the delegates proceeded to accomplish the work which had brought them together, viz: Nominating a Republican candidate for Sheriff of Chester county, and nominating a candidate for the vacancy in the Legislature, occasioned by the death of S. J. McCullough. After a considerable amount of angry discussion, the sages came to the momentous conclusion that it was meet and proper that the nomination for the member of the Legislature be made first. There were several aspirants for legislative honors, John Lilly, a former member of the House, among the number. The choice of the Convention <JR> ?&* j feil upon Samuel Coleman, colored, of Rossville. The nomination of a candidate for ! Sheriff was next in order. Of course, there j were several competitors for the prize, which, after the taking of a vote, was awarded 1 to A. S. Richardson, colored. The Conven| tion then adjourned, amid the cheers of the friends of the successful candidates. The colored population of the county will be kept j in a state of excitement until after the 28th j instant, when the election will be held. The j brevity of the campaign gives ground for inj expressible satisfaction. J St. Mark's Episcopal Church, of this place, ! which has been closed for several mouths, ; was opened on yesterday, Rev.
