next morning. He did so, and was handed a fine Colt's six-barrelled revolver, with the significant remark that "he knew how to use it." The force of negroes was increased, all of them being armed and uoder Mr. Shannon's orders. Ou the firet or second night that the Democrats were in the hall of the House, six cases containing 120 breech-loading rifles with ammunition and accoutrements, were brought over from the State armory and deposited in Keunedy's office. Mr. Shannon heard Beatty, who acted as his superior officer, say that in to case of an "emergency" the door of Kennedy's V office was to be broken open if the key could | not be conveniently obtained, and the men armed with the rifles. After the Democratic members had been in a day or two, Mr. Shannon ascertained, or was given to understand, that Jillson, Dennis, Hayne and some others of the bolder spirits, were to act as deputy sergeants-at-arms, and attempt the ejection of the objectionable members, being supported by the Radicals and negroes who were freely admitted by orders, wbile all white men were rigidly excluded. Upon resistance beiug made, sufficient force j was to be used to provoke violence. Iraraeiirkrtn arnr mRn i fpstfttioO of this 80rt, , UlaiCIJ V? pun mmmmj . - Lieutenant Auderson or Kellogg, one of whom , was to beat the door, would give a signal to briug up the troops from down stairs. These lieutenants expressed many fears lest their men should refuse to act in putting out or shooting at the white men, but it was deter mined to lead the troops into the melee, so as to get at least one hurt, which they judged would be sufficient lo answer the purpose of securing martial law, or the ejectraeut of all Democrats and the upholding of the Chamberlain government. How this plan was baffled by the withdrawal of the "Wallace" House, is known to all. The Radicals in the House were, he thinks, V fully cognizant of the plan, and were all armed. After the adjournment of the two Houses, Mr. Shannon was retaiued to discipline and watch the negro constabulary, and remained there until the final capitulation of Chamberlain and his crew. He says that Elliott brought in an additional supply of arms, which, with the others, were stored in the headquarters of the constabulary, and kept ready for use. He also says that the troops frequently declared their intention of throwing down their arms if Hampton or his men attempted to capture the State House, and expressed their wish that he would. Twenty determined men, he says, could have taken the building at any time. Mr. Shannon was behind the scenes, and certainly knows of what he speaks. His statements cau, he claims, be confirmed by Audrew Doherty, who - - - " ' ? . :.l was, like himself, iu the Radical service wmi Democratic feelings, and who is now in Columbia. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enqnirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, July 16, 1877. Judge Mackey speaks highly of his visit to Due West. He was well received and honored with much attention while there. His address upou the "Language and Civilization of the Anglo Saxon" manifested great research and learning, and has met with flattering notices from the press. The learned Judge, in closing his address, alluded in appropriate terms to the privilege and duty of the American people to maintain the liberty which had been bequeathed them by the Anglo-Saxon. To do this, they must guard agaiust the encroach meuts of the Federal government upon the State governments. The rights of the States must be preserved iuviolate. With the view of promoting this end, he advised that when general elections are held, candidates for State and Federal offices ought not to be voted for on the same ballot, but separately. The election for Presidential electors, and Governor and other State officers in this State takes place on the same day, aud while the time cannot be changed, the Legislature can provide for holding the electious for State and Federal officers in different places, that is, in different ^ buildings. In this way Federal supervisors, appointed by the general government, will he prevented from interfering with State elections. The plea of Judge Mackey's, having for its object freedom of elections for State officers from Federal control, is worthy of consideration. Our law-makers will give the matier their attention. An election will take place in the various townships, of this county, in reference to the fence question, on the 14th of August. The managers of the election will be as follows: Chester?David Hemphill, Charles Cobb, J. B. McFadden ; Levisvi/le?3. H. Westbrook, James Reid, F. W. Hioklin ; Latidsford?D. W. Steadman, W. D. Ingram, James Wilson ; Rossville?Samuel Anderson, R. S. Crocket, J. O. Hardin ; Hazlexcood?W. B. Thompson, J. F. Barber, W. H. Hood ; Blachstocks?R. T. Mockbee, J. E. Craig, John Ross; HalstUviUe?Levi Wise, J. G. McAlily, J. C. McAfee ; Baton Rouge?Dr. William MeCallum, Thompson Worthy, T. T. Castles. The form of ballot will be?"Fence Stock," or "Fence Crops." The fence question excites considerable discussion among the farmers, and as the election approaches, the interest in the matter will increase. The opinion prevails .hat the election will result in changing the preseut fence law. At a meeting of the Town Council on Friday morning, an ordinance was passed, empowering the Council with the right to puuish disturbers of the peace of our town with work on the streets as well as confinement in jail. This may have the effect of stopping the con. tiuual fighting and rowing among the colored element. Another ordinance was passed, lim iting the stopping of railroad trains on crossings of streets to five minutes. In the event of a violation of this ordinance, the police authorities are directed to arrest the conductor of the train, levy aud collect from hira a fine of twenty dollars for said offence. The great nuisance of railroad trains blocking up streets will uow be stopped. Our "city fathers" merit commendation for adopting two such excellent ordinances. Dr. A. H. Davega returned on Thursday from New York, after an absence of several days. He visited the great metropolis with the view of offering for sale bonds of the W *" Chester and Leuoir Railroad Company. While he was not successful in selling auy of these securities, he did succeed in bringing them before the attention of prominent bankers, and placing them in their hands, who I have promised to do all in their power to negotiate them. Dr. Davega ascribes his inability to sell the bonds he was offering to the great want of confidence in New York in all kinds of securities. He says there is a tre-; mendous amount of money in that city await-! ing investment, but capitalists will not do so, j until the present feeling of uncertainty has | disappeared. On his return he stopped a few days in Baltimore, where he also left C. & L. Railroad bonds for sale in the hands of bankers Dr. Davega is quite confident that; the bankers in whose hands the C. it L. Rail- ! road bonds have been placed, will succeed in selling them. They believe the bonds to be a I good and safe investment, and, furthermore, believe that they can negotiate them. There is a negro in jail, Jim Watson, who is unquestionably an incorrigible fellow. He i is an elephant on the hands of our town authorities. He was sentenced some time ago for some olfeuce to work on the streets for teu days, or payment of a flue of five dollars. The authorities are unable to execute the sentence, for he has.no uapoey, and will not work. So they have no alternative but to keep him in jail at the expense of the town. A large party from this place spent Friday atTorbitt's mill-pond. They were favored with good hick in fishing. They cooked and enjoyed their fish on the bank of the creek. Mr. Boswell Graham celebrated the closing of his school at Caper's Chapel, on Friday, by giving a public exaraiuatiou. The pupils passed through the embarrassing ordeal with great credit, and displayed the thoroughness of their teaching. After a satisfactory exhibition of their knowledge of different studies, ?

Considerable dissatisfaction exists in reference to the appointments for Treasurer and Auditor of this county. Whatever may be the cause of it, it is best for the Democracy to be united, and allow no dissension in their ranks. They should remember that Democratic division means disaster to them and victory to our political foes. A large party left here this morning for Landsford. Their object is to fish, swim and have a good time generally. They carried along a bountiful supply of such things as will refresh aud exhilarate the inner man. The Chief of Police is along, aud will keep them in order. - -? President Hardin begins to-day the laying of cross-ties and iron on the Chester and Cheraw Railroad. The road will be in running order to Rich Hill in time to move the present crop. Mr. William Nance and Miss Belle Johnson, both of this place, will enter into the bonds of holy matrimony to-night, and leave to-morrow on a bridal tour for Kentucky. Our town was favored with a delightful rain on yesterday. Farmers are in fine spirits over the good prospect. A young child of Mr. M. P. Farris of this county, departed this life last week. Qui. ABOUT LIBERIA AND ITS GOVERNMENT. Now that some of the colored people in South Carolina are talking about emigrating to Liberia.it may be worth while to print the following from the Baltimore Sun: The citizens of Liberia, we are told, are having a "race issue" in their politics. An amendment to the constitution allowing white men to own land and become citizens of the republic, was voted down at the recent Presidential election. There is no reason to object to this. It was the purpose of the colonization society in founding a settlement ofcolored men in Liberia, to exclude white men from any official and interior control of its affairs. It was to be an African colony, governed in the begiuniug by Africans who had acquired some degree of civilization either as slaves or freemen in the United States. The ulterior object of the society was to introduce a like civilization, which was hoped would be progressive, among the wild African tribes that occupy the country back of Liberia, to establish trading posts on the rivers, and thus bring the blessings and humanizing influence of commerce to bear upon native savagery. Although the first settlement was in 1820, and large numbers of colonists have since been sent there from the United States, the increase, 80 far as these emigrants and their descendants are concerned, has been very slow. These numbered at last accounts only 19,000, hut they constitute the ruling class, and have added so largely to the original territory that Liberia now covers 9,700 square miles, and includes within its jurisdiction 701.000 aborigiues. Among the latter several missions have been established, although the efforts to Christianize them have not thus far been very successful. The great good that has been gained is the peaceful relations that have been instituted between the Liberians proper and native tribes. As a test of the ability of people of the Africau race to govern themselves, the experiment is more promising than that of Hayti, where the exclusion of white men from any participation in the affairs of the republic has also been rigidly euforced, but from a different motive than that which influenced such action in Liberia. In the latter it was at the suggestion of white men who wished to benefit the negro race, while in Hayti it results from animosity to the whites, and hence no good has come of it. It is the merit of Liberia, moreover, that no distinction is made there between the pure-blooded Africans and those of the mixed African and Caucasian extraction. In Hayti, on the other hand, a bitter jealousy exists between the blacks and the mulattoes, and it is this jealousy, iu the struggle between the two classes for control of the government, that has been the main spring of the numerous revolutions with which that mockery of a republic has been tormented. The Liberians are at least a peaceful people, and although during their 6fty years of local self-government they have neither riseu very high in the scale of.civilization nor become in any way distinguished for habits of industry, they have established schools and churches in their midst, and have shown themselves obedient to laws of their own enacting. A beautiful complexion depends upon the purity of the blood. To keep the blood pure and healthy use Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture. jTmaitrial anir Commercial. YORKVILLE, July 18?Cotton 8 to 11.

T. and Amanda Byers, and wife of M. R. Smith, was born, October 13th, 1854, and died, June 11th, 1877, aged 22 years 8 months and 28 days. The old proverb, tLat death often selects the gentle and lovely for his victim, was verified in the one whose departure we now, in sadness, record. To say that the one who has left us in tears was faultless, free from mental errors and exempt from human infirmities, would be to exalt her to angelic rank ; but to affirm that she was pure in heart, consistent in life, kind and forbearing to all, loving and being beloved, is supportedby the exemplary life she lived. Six years ago it was the writer's privilege and pleasure to receive her into the M. E. Church South, on York circuit, and when asked if any doubts arose as to her acceptance with God, she calmly answered, "Not one." But few brighter conversions have been witnessed in these days of formalism. Less than a year ago, she stood at Hymen's altar and pledged fidelity to the one around whom youthful affections had sweetly entwined. Now we behold her arrayed in thesamo bridal habiliments, to be laid in the tomb! Oh! death, thou has left us in sorrow ; but may divine grace enable us to say: "Thy will, O God, not ours, be done!" A pressureon the brain rendered her insensible in her last hours; but she often thought and spoke of her own death, and more than once, in the few months past, was heard to utter, calmly, the expression: "lam not afraid to die." To her, death iiad no terrors. "Our loss is her eternal gain." Pikd?In this oounty, on the 5th instant, APELIA, daughter of Mr. W. Meek and Mrs. * 'elin M. McCarter, aged six months. FOR RENT.

By this method, fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, milk, butter, Ac., may be kept, in open vessels, an indefinite length of time, in a perfect state of preservation, and retaining their natural appearance, flavor and freshness. Nothing that could injure the health of the most delicate is used in this "process; but on the contrary, the chemical agents employed, under this new method, are not only not deleterious, but actually health-giving and salubrious. We believe that this discovery is destined to revolutionize the present system of domestic eeonomv and that thousands of dollars worth of the good things of this life that annually go to decay and waste on every farm and garden, will be utilized for the use, benefit and enjoyment of the human family. This view of the matter is not impossible, but eminently reasonable and probable. The ancient Egyptians had a process by which their dead bodies have been presorved since the days of the Pharaohs, and this may be but a discovery of that lost art. Having purchased the right for York county, we are prepnred to sell family rights, and in order that every family may enjoy the benefits of this wonderful discovery, we have made the price of the family right but five dollars. They can be had from us direct; or may be obtained from our agents, who will, in a few days, canvass the different townships, in our interest. Certificates of prominent Physieiansof the county, recommending the Process; of prominent citizens who have eaten the vegetables, Ac:., prepared under it, will be gotten out, in a few days, in circular form lor general distribution.
