r 15th instant, was concurred in, and as the vote was reconsidered and laid on the table, i the matter is settled and cannot be reconsidered by the Senate. Mr. Sheppard, from the ways and means I committee, introduced the long looked for supply bill, which was made the daily special order after the appropriation bill. The provisions of the bill are as follows: Section 1. That a tax of seven mills upon every dollar of all taxable property of the State, be levied to defray the current expenses of the government for the fiscal year commencing November 1st, 1876. Sec. 2. That a tax, not to exceed three K mills, be levied for county purposes, the rate to be fixed by the county commissioners in and for each county, and by them certified to the respective county auditors of the said several counties. Sec. 3. That all the proceeds of the taxes for and on account of the State as specified herein, shall be deposited and kept by the State treasurer in such banks or bank in the cities of Columbia and Charleston, as in the !?.??>? fKo finonnifl 1 hoard of the State 1 JUUgUJCUl* VI miv uuwuv.M. ? can afford sufficient protection to the interests of the State, and the State treasurer shall publish, in one or more newspapers published in the city of Columbia, a monthly statement of all the moneys received by bira and the amount paid out, and to whom and on what account, of what appropriation paid, as well as the balance of moneys on hand. Sec. 4. That county auditors and treasurers, under the supervision of the comptrollergeneral, may make collection of the taxes in tha manner and at the time hereinafter provided, and are hereby forbidden to collect any other taxes whatsoever, unless herein expressly authorized to do so, under penalty of a fine of not less than 81,000 and not more | than 85,000, and imprisonment in the peniL tentiary of not less than one nor more than five yea re. Sec. 5. Provides for an assessment of one * " " li- c.?fa dollar on an laxauie puna iu 1/12 IO k/bttvu, lUV I proceeds of which shall be appropriated solely to educational purposes; the tax to be paid uuder a penalty of five dollars fine or thirty days in jail. Sec. 6. That all taxes assessed and payable under this act, shall be paid in no other funds than gold and silver coin, United States currency and national banknotes; provided that the receipts issued by the agents appointed by the Governor in the several counties, by virtue of a resolution adopted by the House of Representatives, December, 1876, shall be credited by the county treasurers upon the amounts due whenever the same shall be presented. Sec. 7. That the tax assessed herein shall be due and payable in two equal instalments, the first being due and payable from the first of June to the first of July, 1877, and the second from the 1st of October to the 31st of October, 1877; provided, that it shall be optional for any person either to pay the amount of the first instalment at the time first above mentioned, or to pay the whole ?? mniint at. t.lm time of the navment of the r ? ? * second instalment thereof; provided further, that if any person shall fail or refuse to pay the first instalment, he shall be charged with interest on the same, at the rate of one per cent, a month. Sec. 8. That the county treasurer, immediately upon the receipt of the tax duplicate, shall cause the usual notices to be published in the papers of the respective counties. Section 9 provides for the usual penalties for non-paymeut. Sections 10 and 11 specify the class of property, real and personal, which shall be liable to distress and sale for payment of taxes. In connection with the supply bill, the committee of ways and means submitted a bill to make an appropriation for the payment of the salary and mileage of the members of the General Assembly, and the salaries of the subordinate officers and employes and incidental expenses. The bill appropriates $81,400 to meet the expenses above mentioned for the regular session remaining unpaid, and the present special session, to be paid out of the phosphate royalties now due, and any other funds in the treasury not otherwise ap v propriated ; and further provides that the pay and mileage of members shall not exceed $600 for both sessions ; provided that amounts already received be deducted; and further, that 81,500 be appropriated for stationery and certificates to the members of the Senate and House. The bill was made the daily special order after the supply bill. The committee of waysaud moans reported unfavorably on the Senate usury bill, and also presented a favorable minority report, signed by Muller, Wines and Simpson. Ou motion of Simpson, the further consideration of the bill was postponed to the uext session. The committee appointed to make an examination of the official misconduct of Associate Justice Wright, reported that they had inquired into the matter referred to them, and recommended the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That J. J. Wright, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, be impeached for drunkenness. The evidence taken by the committee, upon which they have ba9ed their report and recommendation, is appended, and the report is signed by Minort, Bradley, Blue and Verner?Palmer alone refusing to sign. The evidence, which is very voluminous, is confined entirely to the charge of drunkenness; proves Judge Wright to have been picked up out of the gutters drunk, and to have been drunk . on the Supreme Bench. When the report was presented, the House went into secret session, and the testimony was read. The report was made the special order for to-morrow. The following bills passed their second readings: To reduce the pay of commission. ers and managers of election and their clerks; B to prevent clerks of probate courts from pracV ticing as attorneys ; to repeal an act for the relief of widows and orphans of persons killed W KppniiiiP nf their nolitical oninions. f ? _ ' Saturday, May 12. In the Senate, the proceedings were, in the main, of a routine character. In the House, a bill to repeal the lien law provoked considerable discussion, but resulted in no definite action. The following was received from the Governor : Columbia, May 11, 1877. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:?Yesterday I transmitted to his Excellency the President of the United States, the concurrent resolution adopted by the General Assembly, invoking Executive clemency, and I here have the honor to communicate his'reply. Wade Hampton, Governor. Washington, D. C., May 12,1877. ovx nrt.. w i r>r Hampton;?T am-informed by the Attorney-General that he has instructed the District Attorney of South Carolina to prepare for trial only thfee indictments in the Ellenton cases, and to notify the parties in all other cases that they need not prepare for trial. It is possible that only one case will be tried. The fact that j the indictments were found by the grand jury, j composed of both political parties, seems to justi- I fy the assumption that the prosecutions are not j partisan. I agree with you that a general am- j nesty should extend to all political offences ex- j cept those which are of the gravest character. R. B. Hayes, President. | ^ MERE-MENTION. Major Reno, of the 7th cavalry, was recently convicted by a court martial ofimprop- er conduct towards a brother officer's wife, and sentenced to dismissal from the service; but the President has mitigated the sentence I to suspension from rank and pay for two years from the 18th of this month. The Mormons are said to be preparing for war with the United States, by drilling and laying in supplies of arms and ammunition. They number about 100,000. The Secretary rof War, in conformity to a decision of the Cabinet, has issued an order for the discharge of 2,500 enlisted men whose term of enlist' j meat expires before the first of next November. Four United States Marshals have been arrested in Louisville, Ky., for shooting illicit distillers. The Governor of New York has vetoed a bill passed by the Legislature, allowing women to hold office on the school board. Unless depredations upon the Mexican border cease, Federal soldiers will crossover the frontier and arrest the marauders. At the appointment of Methodist Episcopal visitations for the present year, made at Nashville, Tenn., last week, Bishop Doggett was appointed for Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Ladies were busily engaged in making gar- . lands, wreaths, boquets, etc., with the view of decorating the graves of our gallant dead. Thursday dawned brightly and beautifully. I Nature put on her loveliest dress, and gave j her favoring smiles to an occasion fraught with such stirring associations. d About two o'clock, the members of the Ri- d fle Club began to assemble at their armory, and in the course of half an hour or so, were formed in line, and on their way to the Pres- ? hyteriau Church, the place designated as the I starting-point for the procession. In a short ^ time they arrived at the Church, and were ^ joined by the Sabre Club, under the command 9 of lien. W. A. WaiKer. ine memoers 01 ? the different schools and citizens generally, ? began to arrive, and very soon the procession, composed of the Rifle Club, members of the Town Council, and other prominent citizens ^ in carriages, members of the different schools in wagons, citizens on foot or in carriages, as they desired, with the Sabre Club in the rear, began the march for the Cemetery. The Cornet Band was in front, and at intervals dis- 1 coursed fine music. The procession, arriving at the Cemetery, proceeded to the main stand, which was beautifully decorated and inscribed with the words, "All Honor to our [ Gallant Dead." F Rev. Mr. Carlisle opened the exercises with C prayer, and was followed by Rev. Mr. Marion, the orator of the occasion. He referred c to the noble principles, for the maintenance of which brave Confederates had offered up a their lives, and exhorted parents to instil in the hearts of the rising generation a love for ?U/. noma nrinninloa RpfnrA bp b?d rnnrlll- ^ bilC OUIIIV pilUUIj/IVWt 4/WIVIV <MV ? vv..w.. j ded his appropriate address, he spoke of our foes, who had fallen in behalf of what they I believed to be right, and advised the decora- x tion of their graves. Mr. Marion was followed by Judge T. J. J Mackey, who delighted his listeners with his A eloquence. At the conclusion of his address, he recommended the erection of a monument to the memory of the Confederate dead of Evergreen Cemetery. Upon his motion, Capt. J. L. Agurs was authorized to appoint a I committee, consisting of five gentlemen and five ladies, to solicit subscriptions for the monument. The services at the stand being concluded, ^ the graves of both the Confederate and Fed- 1 eral dead were then profusely decorated with flowers. Everything in connection with the decoration passed off well, and the observance j of Memorial Day in Chester was a great sue- & cess. The stockholders of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad held their an- * uual meeting at this place on Thursday. Colonel J. S. Wilson was chosen Chairman of ihe meeting, and James Mason, Esq., and \V. : B. Metts, Esq., Secretaries. 2,914 shares of stock were represented?2,630shares by proxy and 284 shares in person. The President, I Superintendent and Treasurer read their re- > ports, which were referred to a committee for examination. On motion of \V. H. Hardin, Esq., a committee, of which he was chairman, was appointed to nominate officers for the ( ensuing year. After a brief consultation, they a made the following nominations: For Presi- t dent?A. H. Dave^a: for Directors?C. S. " o - w ? Brice, Esq., and Col. J. S. \Vil90u, of dies ter; H. F. Adickes, Esq., and Major J. F. Hart, of York ; U. Matthews, Esq., of Gas- j ton ; Y. A. MeBee, Esq., of Lincoln ; J. G j Hall, Esq., of Catawba ; and G. W. F. Har- , per, Esq., of Caldwell. The nominees of the j committee were elected without opposition. I A considerable reduction was effected in the t salaries of officers. This was done after some ' opposition on the part of those disapproving 1 of the reduction. A survey of the line from J Liucolnton to Hickory was ordered by New- 8 ton A special meeting of the stockholders > _mi 1 . ?ii.j ? _ . e r ?vilI ue caneu oeiore a great wime iui liic j purpose of deciding whether the road shall run by Newton or not. After the meeting of the stockholders, the Directors met and elected the following officers : General Superintendent?E. E. Sumner; Secretary and Treasurer?Jas. Mason; < Chief Engineer?C. S. Dwight. ? The pic-nic season opened here under very encouraging auspices, on Friday. The pupils c of Mr. W. H. Withrow's school, consisting j of both girls and boys, with some iuvited , guests, passed through town at an early hour in wagons, in excellent spirits and bound for Douglas' Mill. There they arrived in due time, and spent the day in various out door j amusements. About sundown they passed 3 through Main street on their way home, and ( made the air ring with their merry shouts. < One or two pic-nics may be expected every week for some time to come. ' Judge T. J. Mackey mounted the political stump on Friday, at Rich Hill, in the inter- i est of General \V. A. Walker, the Democrat- 1 ic candidate for the State Senate. He spoke t of the necessity of the Democracy carrying . the election, and urged his hearers to do all n in their power for the accomplishment of this ^ end. He was followed by John Lee, colored, late member of the Legislature, in behalf of General Walker. On Saturday, Judge Mack- j -? ? ?o nntioirloru Kin nrnof. RIqpIt.

General Walker's opponent is William : Chisholm, colored, who was nominated at a meeting of the Republican voters on Friday j J night. If the Democracy will show that! they love their principles better than crops, j * by turning out and voting, they will carry I the election by five hundred majority. Gen. j Walker's popularity among the colored ele- ( raent is an admitted fact, and they will give ' him a large vote. j . Rev. John Douglas, a minister at this place many years ago, preached two excellent sermons at the Presbyterian church on yesterday. : His sermon in the morning was founded upon j the text, "Produce your cause ; bring forth your strong reasons," and was an answer to the objections raised by skeptics, agaiust the Christian religion. Mr. Douglas has been, for i several years, in charge of Sugar Creek (Pres- * byterian) Church, in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina. Qui. . Chester, May 15,1877. The election for Senator is progressing qui- J etly at the present writing. The opinion is < generally entertained that General Walker will carry this box by a handsome majority. A.8 he will also beat his opponent at the county precincts, his election may be regarded as x fixed fact. At a meeting last night of the Hampton Club, Judge Mackey made a stir* ring speech, in which he predicted a Democratic majority of fifteen hundred votes. While speaking, he received a telegraphic lispatch from Gen. Bratton, which announced i Democratic triumph in Fairfield county. This interesting intelligence was received with jreat applause. Richardson, a Republican leader, was arrested this morning on the charge of forgery, ind failing to give bail, was committed to ail. At the time of his arrest, he was very ictive in distributing and obtaining votes for ;he Radical candidate. A warrant was ismed yesterday for the arrest of Ben. Michael, mother leading Radical, charged with grand arceny, but hearing of the warrant, made his escape, before it was served. The Radical Ring, which once held in the hollow of their landsthe political fortunes of this town and county, has been completely scattered and jroken up. For this inestimable service the credit must be given to Judge T. J. Mackey, will inform the readers of the Enquirer, by elegraph, of the result of the Senatorial elec ion. Qui. * ? T* -n jij ?_ it.

THE CHESTER ELECTION. HEAVY DEMOCRATIC^MAJORITY. . [Special Dispatch to the Yorkvllle Enquirer.] Chester, S. C., May 16. The election yesterday passed off quietly, j Many colored men joined the Democratic ranks. Much praise is due to Judge Mackey f for his zeal and untiring efforts to establish \ good government, he being the only speaker j in the field during this canvass. ' The Republicans put forward their most popular man?a young colored preacher named Chisolm. However, it seems that popularity is overruled by self-interest, as is shown by Gen. W. A. Walker's majority, which is at least one thousand. This entirely demolishes ] Radicalism in Chester county, and the Car- J pet-Bagger will probably seek a temporary t home in some new field. B. J [second dispatch.] From our Regular Correspondent. Chester, May 16. At the election for Senator on yesterday, ' the Democrats won a brilliant victory. Gen. ' W. A. Walker's majority in the county is . about fourteen hundred. His majorities are as follows: Chester, 675 ; Rich Hill, 225 ; Carmel Hill, 14'S; Boyd's Store. 132 ; Rossville, 52 ; Landsford, 67 ; Torbit's Store, 65 ; Lowrysville, 31. Lewis' Turnout gave 25 majority for Chisolm, and Hazlewood 7 majority. McAlilley's Mill is still to hear from. , The fate of Radicalism is sealed in this county. Qui.
