merit of the fact that the negroes born there are uneasy and restless. They claim assistance and protection from the United States Government and the orders are to afford it to them, not to interfere with State authorities by any means, but to afford protection to any human being that applies for it. Gen. Cook: I do not think the troops in Georgia have been called upon for ten years. Gen. Sherman : I do not know that they have, but the people of Georgia are very glad to have a garrison at Atlanta. The Chairman: The object of my inquiry was to ascertain whether troops could be spared from the South to reinforce the army in the Indian country. Gen. Sherman: I am compelled to answer that they cannot be spared, because those who are entrusted with power judge their nroapnm nAPMnnrv. That decision is to me sacred and final and governs me. Mr. Terry: You do not say, however, that it is your judgment? Gen. Sherman: It is hardly right to ask a soldier for an opinion behind a duty. We ought not to form an opinion. The examination proceeded in a general way regarding the army. The Secretary of War, who was present, was asked whether he desired to make any statement. He merely replied that he concurred entirely in all that Gen. Sherman had said. GRANT OITHAMBURG. The following is the letter to Gov. Chamberlain, communicated to the Senate by President Grant in a special message: Executive Mansion, ) Washington, D. C., July 26, 1876. ) Dear Sir:?I am in receipt of your letter of the 22d July, and all the inclosures enumerated therein, giving an account of the (ate barbarous massacre of innocent men at the town of Hamburg, S. C. The views which you exf press as to the duty you owe to your oath of office and to the citizen to secure to all their civil rights, including the right to vote according to the dictates of their own consciences, and the further duty of the Executive of the nation to give all needful aid, when properly called on to do so, to enable you to insure tikis inalienable right, I fully concur in. The scene at Hamburg, as cruel, bloodthirsty, wanton, unprovoked, and as uncalled for as it was, is only a repetition of the course that has been pursued in other Southern States within the last few years?notably in Mississippi and Louisiana. Mississippi is governed to-day by officials chosen through fraud and violence, such as would scarcely be accredited to savages, much less to a civilized and Christian people. How long these things are to continue, or what is to be the final remedy, the Great Ruler of the universe only knows. But I have an abiding faith that the remedy will come, and come speedily, and I earnestly hope that it will come peacefully. There has never been a desire on the part of the North to humiliate the South. Nothing is claimed for one State that is not freely * ~ accorded to all the others, unless it may be the right to kill negroes and Republicans without fear of punishment and without loss of caste or reputation. This has seemed to be a privilege claimed by a few States. I repeat again that I fully agree with you as to the measure of your duties in the present emergency, and as to my duties. Go on, and let every Governor where the same dangers threaten the peace of his State go on in the conscientious discharge of his duties to the humblest as well as the proudest citizen, aud I will give every aid for which I can find law or constitutional power. Government that cannot give protection to the life, property and all guaranteed civil rights?(in this country the greatest is an untrammelled ballot)?to the citizen, is, in so far, a failure ; and every energy of the oppressed should be exerted (always within the law and by constitutional means) to regain lost privileges or protection. Too long denial of guaranteed rights is sure ?to luuG W revolution, Dlo6dy revolution, when ' suffering must fall upon the innocent as well as the guilty. Expressing the hope that the better judgment and cooperation of the citizens of the State over which you have presided so ably may enable you to secure a fair trial and punishment of all offenders, without distinction of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and without aid from the Federal Government, but with the promise of such aid on the conditions named in the foregoing, I subscribe my ulf oprv roanoorfnllc vr?nr nhedient servant. MV,I> ' J , j , U. S. GRANT. To the Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, Governor of South Carolina. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, August 7, 1876. The business of the trial justices is increasing, as the crops are laid by and the colored population have an abundance of time to quarrel and fight. A large number of them seem to be constitutionally opposed to living in a state of peace and tranquility. Their satisfaction appears to be never so great as when engaged in a law suit. 1 do not deem it essential to give a report of all the assault and battery cases that are tried by the officers of the law. This would require an amount of space in the Enquirer's columns that is ! not at my disposal. But the oases are not ' entirely of an assault and battery nature. 1 The desire and endeavor of the colored folks 1 to obtain their wages before due, gives rise to r considerable amount of litigation. And 1 their claims sometimes exist only in the do- 1 mains of their foolish imaginations. To illustrate?Siney Wilkes, colored, brought suit ! against Mr. John Castles for the recovery of , S19. The case was iried last week before Trial Justice Lowry, and instead of defendant ' owing the plaintiff the amount claimed, the ( testimony, including that of the plaintiff, showed that the plaintiff was owing the defen- 1 dant $38. A case of a somewhat similar nature be- j tween William Phillips, and Jefferson Sanders, both colored, was tried before the same Justice, and with a somewhat similar result, j Their friends manifested their interest by an attendance upon the trial. Phillips, the plaintiff, alleged that he had contracted to ( work for Sanders, the defeudant, by the month, e and was to be paid accordingly, whereas the J defendant testified to his having hired the . plaintiff by the year. A verdict of $7 was rendered in favor of the plaintiff. A common offence that prevails among the 9 colored element is that of husbands whipping 1 their wives. The former act as if they be-; lieve that the rod was a more powerful pro- ! moter of obedience than that of gentle entreaX__ A 1 4. 1_ A. 1_ ^ .1 r !X?. ly. Almost every wees tne cuarge or wirebeating is laid at the door of some tyrannical c husband, who is tried, generally convicted and v sent to jail for a number of days. The last , offender in this way was James Rosborough, who was committed to jail by Justice McDonald for thirty days, unless he pays a fine of I $30. The want of the required cash will j doubtless compel him to suffer unwillingly t the other alternative. y The Chester Rifle Club held a meeting on o Wednesday morning, President C. S. Brice ( in the Chair. The subject of uniforms was t discussed. It was decided to adopt a propo- t sition submitted by William Stringfellow viz: t to furnish the uniforms at $19 each. His of- t fer to furnish the caps at $2 each was also ac- F cepted. 1 A smart trick was played here last week,; J>ut the perpetrator is paying the penalty for Cthe unlawful execution of the same. A young b man was riding in the vicinity of town a v horse that belonged to another young man, v when he was approached by a colored man t by the name of Ned Johnson, and asked for s the horse on the alleged order of the owner, i v The animal was delivered up to the negro, t who rode to his heart's content, and then re- r turned the horse to the stable where be was I kept. When the truth in regard to the mat-! a ter became known, Johnson was arraigned 1< before Trial Justice Sanders, who committed n him to jail for Bfteen days. He will hardly I take another ride at so great a cost. ! d On Wednesday a preliminary examination a i was held before Trial Justice McDonald in : the State vs. Hugh Stevenson, Bunyan Cros| by and Booker Wright, charged with coraj mitting an assault and battery upon F. G. ! Whitlock. The evidence of the prosecuting | witness, in the opinion of the Trial Justice, j pointed to the fact that the attack was preI meditated, inasmuch as he was met on the ! public highway by one of the defendants, aud ! as he proceeded the others appeared, when the difficulty took place. This testimony decided the Justice in keeping the defendants uuder bonds for their appearance at the next terra of the Circuit Court. The State was represented by W. A. Sanders, Esq.', and the defendants by T. C. Gaston, Esq. The facts, thus far elicited, are certainly in favor of Mr. Whitlock, who expresses his determination to use every effort in his power to secure the punishment of his assailants. John Lilley, wholesale dealer in fraudulent school claims, made his escape from our Am XXT A J m Anrl n ?y mirah f n n / ! 10 n A ft? I UUUUbJT J?U UU If CUUCOUOJ UI^UV, nuu la UUH at large. The story goes, that having reached the top of the jail, through an opening made for a stove pipe, he descended to the ground by means of blankets. James Ros- j borough, colored, also took his departure from jail on the same night and in the same way. Thursday was a great day in Chester. On that day Governor Chamberlain, Congressman Wallace and Judge Mackey presented their views on the politic&l situation. The scene of the speaking was a" grove, not a great distance from the depot. Upon my appearing ! upon the grounds the Governor, having begun his speech, was dwelling upon the pow- j ers of the people. The war of secession, with | its dreadful consequences, was due, in his opinion, to the control of public affairs at the time by a faction, and not by the people. Evils of our government, Jie said, can only be corrected by universal suffrage. The remedy for the evils of voting is voting. Any restrictions of the right of the ballot will be j detrimental to the interests of the country. The speaker then spoke of the glorious achievements of the Republican party. Through its instrumentality the doctrine of T>1 T-O* .L.i _11 1 C ; j. ii u ill as tieucrouu turn, an iucu were uutu nee ; and equal had been made a reality. Until its rise the Republic had been based upon the theory of freedom, but the practice of slavery. It prevented the entrance of slavery into the territories. And the sword of Grant executed what the pen of Abraham Lincoln had written?the emancipation of the slave throughout the States. After the freedom of the slave had been secured, the Republican party turned its attention to the bestowment of political rights and privileges upon the negro. The ballot was placed in his hands. Governor Chamberlain then dwelt upon the persistent opposition of the Democratic party to these acts of the Republican party, and after doing so, asked his colored frieuds, if they could ever trust the Democratic party ? A desired answer was given in the form of an emphatic "no." The opportunity was presented, and, of course, embraced of urging his colored hearers to vote for Hayes and Wheeler. The speaker said that as he had spoken of the rights and privileges that had been bestowed upon the col ored people, he would speak of their duties aud responsibilities. This was the time for enlarging upon the question of reform, which was done by the "Reform" Governor in his happiest style. His brethren of the same political faith were advised to vote for competent and honest men for office. If such could not be found among their qwn number, they were told to seek for them among the ranks of the opposition. The Governor insisted upon their sending good and honest men to the Legislature. Without a good Legislature the efforts of the Executive to carry out the desired measures of reform will be ineffectual. In closing, the Governor alluded to the natural advantages of the State, and said that a good government was all that was necessary i to ^vg prosperity to the people. At the close of his speech I retired for the purpose of refreshing the "inner man," and, consequently, did not hear the other speakers. In 1 the afternoon a number of our prominent cit- ; izens called upon Governor Chamberlain. At night, he was serenaded by the striug band of our town, and when called upon, appeared and made a felicitous speech. He was . a guest of Judge T. J. Mackey, who was also called upon, and made an address, abounding in praise of the Governor. C. S. Brice, Esq., wno was present, alter onenng tne services or : the Chester Rifle Club to the Governor, in case of their being needed, proposed three , cheers for his Excellency, which were given i with a hearty good will. A meeting of the stockholders of the Ches- ] ter and Cheraw Railroad took place at Lancaster on Tuesday, August 1st, J. M. Beaty, j Esq., chairman. 2000 shares of stock were ( represented. J. A. Haseltine, Esq., was re- i elected President, with reduction of salary to ! g500, and B. J. Witherspoon was reelected Treasurer, with reduction of salary to 8300. i Joseph Wylie, Esq., and J. J. McLure, Esq., ? were chosen directors from this place. The finance scheme that was devised some time < ago by prominent citizens of Chester and 1 Lancaster, with the view of raising the means j for the early completion of the railroad be- t tween these places was not accepted by the stockholders. In lieu of this a resolation was ' passed giving the Board of Directors the pow- g sr of placing a mortgage upon the road, not sxceeding 86,000 per mile, and issuing bonds for the amount. Another resolution was " idopted authorizing the rresident to use legal means, if necessary, to collect all unpaid subscriptions. A certain party is expected to contract for the early completion of the road, but I am not at liberty to mention any names. "I rhe meeting of the stockholders was pleasant J md harmonious. u The Democrats of Chester township met on ( Saturday, and indulged in a considerable ? iraouut of political talk. The discussion arose .. jpon a resolution introduced hy G. J. Patterson, Esq., instructing our delegates to the bounty Convention to vote for delegates to ? he State Democratic Convention favoring jostponement of action by that body until af;er the adjournment of the Republican Con- j mention. Straight-outisin and coalition were iiscussed inall their bearings by the different ipeakers, Gen. \V. A. Walker, G. J. Patterion, Esq., Major S. P. Hamilton, T. C. Gas- { on, Esq., and C. S. Brice, Esq., and after a engthy ventilation of their political opinions, he meeting decided in favor of Mr. Patter- l ion's resolution, which was considered a victo y by the straight-outs. : A thief broke into Mr. Holmes Hardin's J tore a few day8 ago, and stole a few articles. 3e has not been discovered.
