The request was complied with. At 3 o'clock the Court convened, when the case of the State vs. F. B. Lloyd was called. Col. F. W. McMaster, duly commissioned by the Governor to try this cause, was present His commission was read by the Clerk of the Court, and the oath administered by his Honor, Judge T. J. Maekey. The acting judge then took the seat of authority, and called the case. C. S. Brice, Esq. and'T. C. Gaston, Esq., appeared for the State, and J. J. Hemphill, Esq., for the defendant. Mr. Gaston asked that the trial be postponed until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, for the reason of the absence of witnesses for the State. He said it was his understanding that the defendant would admit the purchase of school certificates,Jand would rest his defence on the fact of bis having purchased only those that were issued by his predecessor in office, which he (the defendant) claimed he had the riorht tn if an. the Question for decision "6"" *v ~v ? *" 7 "1 wa8 one simply of law, which must rest upon the opinion of the Court, after argument by counsel. The counsel for the defendant contended that the fact of the purchase of the certificates must be proved, which necessitated the request on the part ofi the counsel for the State for the postponement of the trial until the desired witnesses could be produced. The Court granted the motion. The Court met on Saturday morning, Col. F. W. McMaster upon the bench. The counsel for the State and the counsel for the defendant announced their readiness to proceed with the trial of the case of the State vs. F. B. Lloyd, county school commissioner, charged with purchasing teacher's pay certificates. Carter Ross, upon taking the stand, testified that, in the capacity of an agent, he had bought school certificates for F. B. Lloyd, receiving for his services five per cent, commission. He said that his instructions were limited to the purchase of certificates issued during the years 1871,1872, and 1873, for the defendant had told him it was no violation of law for him to buy the certificates of those years. The witness identified a certificate shown him by the counsel for the State as one that had been bought by him and turned over to the defendant. D. I. Walker, ex-School Commissioner, upon being sworn, was shown the certificate that had been bought by Carter Ross, as alleged, for the defendant, and testified to its being one issued by him while in office. The testimony then closed, the defence producing no witnesses. The chief points in the argument of the counsel for the defendant were the absence of proof, on the part of the State, to show the validity of the school certificate in question, inasmuch as the authority of persons, whose names appeared on the certificate, as school trustees, was not established; and, admitting the validity of the certificate, the defendant had violated no law, inasmuch as the certificate was issued prior to his entrance upon the office of school commissioner. The counsel for the State held a different opinion, and gave the authorities bearing upon the point. Col. McMaster took a similar view of the matter with the counsel for the defendant, and in his charge to the jury instructed them to render a verdict of not guilty. The jury did not carry out the instructions of the acting judge, for, after consulting a while over the case, they brought in a verdict of guilty. His Honor ordered a setting aside of the verdict, and the entering of a nolle prosequi in the case. Upon the re-assembling of the Court on Saturday afternoon, the grand jury made a presentment against B. G. Yocom, Treasurer, charging him with breach of trust, with fraudulent intent. This charge is based upon the alleged re-issuing by the accused of paid school claims of the county. The Solicitor was instructed by the Court to draw a bill of indictment in accordance with the allegations of the presentment. This makes three presentments found by the grand jury at the present terra of the Court against Treasurer Yocom?one charging him with conspiracy .. i. A**-., make monthly returns to the County Commissioners ; and another, with breach of trust with fraudulent intent. Wednesday of this week had been appointed as the day of trial of the case of the State agaiust this defendant, but owing to the unDreDaredness of the State for the trial, and the physical inability of the leading counsel j for the State, C. S. Brice, Esq., a postponement of the trial was made by order of the presiding judge. An extra term of the Court of General Sessions will be holden. beginning ou Tuesday, the 18th instant, for the trial of this and other cases. In consequence of the hostility existing between Judge Mackey and ! the defendant in these causes, a judge from j another circuit will preside at the extra term. Before the adjournment of the Court on Saturday, sine die, the grand jury made their * report, the prominent points of which I will give in ray next correspondence. The County Democratic Convention met today at this place, in pursuance of a resolution adopted at the last meetiug. Owing to the inolemency of the weather, the attendance wa3 slim?barely a quorum of the delegates being present. The following gentlemen were elected to represent Chester county in the State Democratic Convention: General W. A. Walker, T. C. Gaston, Esq., Maj. J. W. Wilkes, R. T. Mockbee, Esq., Maj. Julius Mills, and Mr. C. W. McFadden. The alternates are Messrs. J. E. Johnston, J. R. Culp, C. S. Brice, R. S. Hope, J. G. McAfee and J. J. Hemphill. No instructions in refer ence to the course they must pursue at the ! State Convention were given the delegates. They can, consequently, support the straightout or mixed policy, as their judgment determines to be the part of wisdom, at the time, with all the facts before them. Two tracts of land were disposed of to-day at sheriff's sale?one bringing $4 per acre and the other 50 cents per acre. Mr. Joseph Wylie took his departure for New York to-day for the purpose of buying his spring and summer goods. The great depression in business will occasion more limited purchases by him than usual at this season. Qui. ?. * Don't Beg the Question.?It is an infallible sign that a cause is weak when its claims are sought to be established by mere bold assertion without argument or substantial proof. Dr. Tutt asserts that his Hair Dye is the best, and he adduces undoubted evidence to substantiate the truth of the assertion.

We think it a great triumph. Anthony Haas, } rarbprs Charles Hohn, j ' No. 6 N. Royal Street. About Two Years Ago My Wife had a Very Troublesome Cough, of so serious a character that we all became very anxious; indeed, it seemed that we had but little to hope for, as the Lungs were affected. We tried various medicines, but very little if any benefit seemed to be derived from any of them; so that it appeared the disease had complete mastery, and nothing but death would bring relief. I was then advised to give Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant a trial, and doing so, to our surprise, found great benefit from its use. Persisting with it, she gradually commenced improving, until the principal symptoms disappeared entirely, and she has enjoyed reasonably good health ever since.?

It is with profound gratitude that I now announce the remarkable cure which, in the goodness of Divine Providence, has been effected by your skillful treatment and well practiced hand. Fifteen months have elapsed since the operation, and I find no indications of a return of tne disease. The improvements in my general health have been, I think, very considerable, and thecomfortof complete exemption from the annoyance and suffering to which I had so long been'subiected, is a blessing more than I had hoped for, and is well calculated to keep you in grateful remembrance.
