are now on hand, on the above plane, a? accurately as they could estimate, about 225 bushels of corn, in good condition, and fodder sufficient for the purposes of the farm for the present year. They would recommend that the present superintendent be retained, They have examined the books of the following Trial Jnstices, and find them correct: J. M. Smarr, C. J. Pride, R. L. Crook, P. T. Murray, J. J. L. Gill, H. K. Roberts, J. B. Wiiliams, R. L. Simmons, John Martin and James EL Wagoner. From a note from R. ?. Guthrie, Esq., they learn he is prevented from making a report because of personal f illness. As to the public schools, they would state, that so far as they are informed, there are none in operation in the county, save in the town of Yorkville. They, have heard of no disturbance of the peace, within the limits of York county, at " ? ' - J ^ Ll_ ? the last general election, ana no iruuuio ui a political nature since. There has been no proscription on account of political opinion, and general peace prevails throughout the county. The only disquiet that prevails is attributable to the unsettled state of affairs at the Capital of the State; and it is the grand jury's humble opinion that the Hampton government is the legally-constituted government, and that the so-called Chamberlain government exists only by usurpation; and they are firmly convinced that if Hampton and his colleagues in office were allowed to perform their legal functions in an untrammeled manner, peace and prosperity would once more smile upon this afflicted State. In conclusion, they would express their high appreciation of the courtesy and impar tiality exhibited by the presiding Judge at this term... All of..which is respectfully submitted. W. M.

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. JLEHEB FROM CHESTER. Chester, January 22, 1877. Last week was very dull in our town. The weather was inclement a great portion of the time, and, as a consequence, affected business very materially. The roads leading to this place have been,, and still are in so deplorable a condition that very little cotton has been brought to market of late. When our ^ streets are 81 led with cotton wagons, business is brisk; but when such is not the case, business suffers accordingly. Notwithstanding the considerable advance in cotton, very little has been sold here of late. Mr. Donald McCauiey, oar largest cotton buyer, is again at his post, and prepared to buy as extensively as ever. He was absent for several days in New York, where he had gone in company with his good wife, whom he receutly led to the hymenial altar. Maj. Julius Mills was last week appointed by Governor Hampton receiver of taxes at ?1 ?.IJ- twill /vrvan Ka KaaItq uortr o,\nn til lb pittUO* JLJLC mil vpou OI1V vvvao ?v?j ovvu. The willingness of the tax-payers of this county to respond to the call made by Governor Hampton will be manifested at that time. They evinced their spirit and determination in regard to this matter on last Mouday, when resolutions of recognition and support of the Hampton government were adopted without a dissenting voice. At that time the Court House was densely packed, and yet not a single person displayed any opposition towards paying the tax. A large poll tax will be collected this year, for there is a large number of young men who have no property and who have never paid any tax, who will now pay the poll tax from simple devotion to the government of their choice. ^ Mr. J. K. Marshall, the genial conductor L on the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad, was joined in bonds of holy matriL mony with Miss Birney Walker, daughter of B Mr. John W. Walker, our popular Sheriff, on W last Thursday morning. The marriage cere* mony was performed by Rev. J. S. White. The happy couple took their departure on the same day on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad for Dallas. At Gastonia, on Thursday evening, an entertainment Was given the newly wedded pair by Mr. Waddell, of the. "Davega House." The negroes that were convicted of different crimes at the late term of the Court of Greneral Sessions at this place, and sentenced by Judge T. J. Mackey to the State Penitentiary for different periods, were taken to Columbia last week. It is to be hoped that A' ?211 UA M/vMnlltT imnwAirA^ ktr fknit* /?An. IUUy Will I/O lliuiauj iiupiv/vgu uj vuvn wufineraent in prison, and having served their respective terms, come home with the determination to live peaceably and ho#estly. Cato Porter, convicted of retailing spirituous liquors without license, who was required to pay a fine of 850, or serve three months in the county jail, has paid the fine. Isaac Castles, convicted of attempting to rescue a L prisoner, was similarly sentenced. He has not yet paid the fine, and is still in jail. The probabilities are that he will remain there for the next three months. It was hoped that incendiaries had stopped their dastardly* work for a while in these ! parts ; but such is not the case. The gin , house of Mr. Thompson Gwin, who lives on , the other side of the line between this and York counties, was destroyed by fire last: week. His loss was, in a great measure, cov- ! ered by insurance. Our young people propose giving a dramatic performance before long for the benefit of the Episcopal Church at this place. It was their inteution to give it this week, but. they have decided, in consequence of the inclem-1 encv of the weather, and the disagreeable condition of the streets, to postpone the entertainment for a while. Besides, they have not been able to rehearse, and prepare their | parts as well as they would like to do. There is no doubt, when it does come off, it will be of such a character, as will do great credit to the amateur actors. [ The string band, of which Mr. Brennecke is the head, will give a concert at this place on Thursday evening of this week. If the weather is favorable, the attendance will probably be good. rJ. K. Sloan has. been appointed, by Chamberlain, trial justice at this place. As Hampton is recognized by the people of Chester as I the Governor of the State, only his appointees will be regarded as havingproper authority, and obeyed accordingly. Judge Macksy, in his recent charge to the grand jury, said that if any person in his Circuit attempted to exercise the duties of any offioe under a commission signed by Chamberlain, since the inauguration of Hampton, snch person would be arrested. The probabilities, at the present time, are that the newly appointed trial justice will not have the pleasure of discharging the duties of his office. Governor Hampton has appointed Matthew White jury commissioner, vice Donald Gilmore, removed. This is an excellent appoiutment. . The Stonewall Fire Engine Company, of this place, will give a supper on Thursday evening of this week in commemoration of the seventh anniversary of their existence as a fire organization. The supper will take place at the Railroad Hotelj and ir it equals previous entertainments given by the Stonewalls, it will simply be splendid. Major Julius Mills began to-day the collection of the Hampton tax. His offioe is in the Wilkes' building, next door to the store of Wilson & Cousar. ? The weather is sp disagreeable that there is hardly anybody in towp to-day from the country. i . . Qui..

Matt. c xviii: 29 and 34, "Pay that thou owest." "Pay E all that is due unto him."
