F il government. When the barons of England, more than three hundred years ago, wrested magna charter from King John, they established this pearl of civil liberty, which their j free descendants have ever since preserved. The report 6nally concludes that the bonds of York county "were issued without authority, and do not constitute any part of the indebtedness of said countythat "the circuit judge before whom the case was tried and determined, had prejudged the case before hearing, and a fair and impartial trial was not had ;,v and the "decision of the supreme court * * made without a general consultation of tlx? judges, if a decision at all, was not only knf in/tnno/i hv franH an ft imnron C1IUUUVUO) UUV iimuvvv* wj .. f f er influences." Rather a wide range this, to inoiude in the report of a petty commission, who bad no authority in law to examine? muoh less to determine?such matters! After this, it might have been appropriate to have declared that the title of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency was invalid, because the electoral commission was "induced by improper influences." If the decision of Judge Mackey is assailable, because he had previously expressed an opinion upon a matter of law connected with the case, I am afraid this report is not above reproach for a similar reason. Both of the gentlemen signing it have been heard to express opinions adverse to the legality of these bonds before their appointment as commissioners, and one of them, at least, is on record in the office of the Governor, as signer of a petition declaring, virtually, their invalidity; and this before his appointment as commissioner. If Judge Mackey is wrong, I am afraid these gentlemen are not in a position to correct the error they assail. Again, as to the supreme court decision. If two judges out of three cannot decide a question?although the constitution of the State plainly authorizes it?one might infer that f one or two commissioners out of three would be incompetent to reach a conclusion upsetting that judgment, when the act creating the commission did not authorize the two to act. If the judgment were wrong lor inib reason, it appears to the writer that the two commissioners have failed to help the matter very materially: ' * ' But suppose the judgment were "induced by fraud," it is nevertheless a judgment which there is no power in the land to gaiusay. The remedy would now be too late. Rights have been acquired under it, and it can never be overthrown. The commissioners, if all three bad sat together, and signed their conclusions, are wholly without such authority. But was it "induced by fraud?" If so, the report fails to show it. The verdict is without evidence. The story of fraud rests only ou the testimony of F. J. Moses, Jr., who is contradicted by Judge Mackey. When the report impliedly gives credence to Judge Mackey's statement, it overthrows the statement of Moses. The writer has been shown certain anonymous communications addressed to a person ?% 91 ? holding these bonds, proposing to "De seen before the writer had "committed" himself upon certain subjects. The letters plainly bad reference to this investigation, and any person who will take the trouble to examine them will not hesitate to detect both the author and the subject matter alluded to. The person receiving them declined to give them any notice. It was some days after the re ceipt of these communications, that the testimony, so-caMed, of F. J. Moses was taken at Columbia by one of the commissioners, as the writer is informed. But suppose that Judge Mackey and the Bupreme court were all bribed or wrongly influenced to reach their judgments, it is not alleged that the county commissioners were moved by improper influences in voting the subscription. It is only said they were without authority under the act of 1873. If so, let the decisions of the courts be thrown aside; yet the acts of two subsequent legislatures stand in recognition of the fact that they did have the authority. Iu conclusion, the writer desires to be plainly understood in this matter. While opposing the power granted to the county commissioners to assume to make a subscription, and opposing still more earnestly the exercise of that power after it was granted, yet after the ? fact has been legally accomplished, and new rights have been acquired, a most flagrant injustice?more violeut than revolution, more dangerous than robbery, and more deplorable in its results as a precedent, than both oi these combined?would be inflicted upon that class of persons, both at home aud abroad, who innocently trusted what the legislative, executive and judicial departments of the State government had, within their proper spheres, more than once sanctioned, and which the people had, year after year, ratified by their acts. You had as well pass a law making arson a penal offence; organize a court to try ; let the offender be tried, convicted and executed; and then hang the _i fnr onfXrninop thft lnw Such SUC1 iu auu juugv i vi vuiv* v. ... - ? ... a calamity finds its parallel iu the propositions of this report. Were the questiou simply one of undoing what has been done, without impairing vested rights, I would say, let it be done, if possible, and if the people of the county so desired. The opportunity for that question to be again raised having passed, the county should now honestly perform its undertaking towards those who have, in good faith, trusted its promises aud relied upon its acts ratifying the conduct of its agents. H. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. P*" ? LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, January 28, 1878. John Smith, recently tried and convicted of the murder of Bergen Conger, has made a full confession of the horrible deed. It agrees, substantially, with the account that has already appeared in the Enquirer. His meeting the deceased, his clubbing and then robbing him, is told with that air of seriousness that would necessarily characterize the utterance of a man on the brink of death. He pronounces the tale told by liira on the wituess stand, a falsehood. According to this tale he had not seen this victim of his cruelty until he was carried before him by the arresting officer. He admits the truth of the evidence giveu by the witnesses for the State during the trial, with the exception of the pocket book, which was shown on that occasion, having been the property of the deceased. In his confession he gave information of the place where the 9tick with which he dealt the fatal blows, and the pocket bo >k j of the deceased might be found, and there i * * j -r ? .1. they were lOUOd. A ponu 01 water, uear me I ^ scene of the commission of the dreadful deed, | was the place where the instrument of death and the pocket book had been secreted by the j* r _murderer. When found, one end of the stick j was above the water, and the pocket-book ! had floated to the edge of the pond, so that they were easily discovered. It appeaj^lhat! under the direction of Providence everything | in connection with the bloody deed has been fully unfolded. j At a meeting of the Lee Light Infantry, on last Tuesday afternoon, it was decided, in L compliance with a request from Sheriff Walk-1 [ er, to guard the prisoner, on Friday, from the jail to the scene of execution, and while there until he launches forth into eternity. A tremendous crowd may be expected hereon that day, if the awful sight has the same power of attraction as a similar spectacle two years ago. Then tree-tops, commanding a view of the hanging, were filled. The Lee Light Infantry propose giving a public drill at Coleman's Hall this week. A y cap and plume will be awarded the man that displays the greatest proficiency in the military movements practiced on the occasion. By way of turning au honest penny into the ^ ? treasury of the Company, that owes a small indebtedness, a small admission fee will be collected at the door. A brilliant success to the performance of the Lees. A bench warrant was issued recently by Judge Mackey for the arrest of J. M. Moore, charged with buying stolen cotton. An earnest effort has been made to execute the war rant, but as yet without success. His where- i abouts are unknown to the officers of the law. In addition to carrying on a farm, he kept a store, which, it appears, according to the statement of his neighbors, might more appropriately be termed a cotton-trap. The warrant for his arrest was based upon the affidavit of Preston Hardin. The vigorous course pursued by the presiding Judge of this j Circuit a year or so ago, almost stopped the villainous business of buying stolen cotton ; at night. Before that time, such a vast amount of cotton was stolen and bought that i farmers were greatly damaged. Almost entirely checked, there must be no cessation or relaxation of effort on the part of the proper authorities to prevent its getting into operation again. The farming interest must be fully protected by the adoption of the necessary means. The decision of the Supreme Court Judges that the election of the Circuit Court Judges, .--J c i? by a viva voce vote instead oi uy uanui, *?oo unconstitutional, created considerable excitement here. On Friday, a petition was written and signed by a large number of citizens, requesting, at the hands of the legislature, the reelection of Judge Mackey. Several petitions, having a similar end in view, were in circulation in different parts of the county, and were numerously signed. The Democracy of Chester county have not forgotten the great services rendered by Judge Mackey during the Hampton campaign, and as some reward for these services, are desirous of his retention on the Bench. The opinion generally prevails that it was, in a great measure, through Mackey'B instrumentality that the Democracy of Chester county are represented in both branches of the State legislature. It is well-known that it was due to his prompt and bold action that Dublin Walker resigned his seat in the Senate, and made way for Gen. Walker. He has broken up thieving Radical rings; he came to the rescue of farmers when their cotton was being stolen and bought at night, and put a stop to this vile business. He has rendered our county and the entire ooroipc whirh the neoDle OldlC) CAUCIIQIil ovi * ??! "???? J L ,r highly Appreciate, and for which they are sincerely grateful. They earnestly desire his reelection to the Judgeship of the. Sixth Circuit. The murderer of Bergen Conger, known before and during the trial as John Smith* was baptized on Saturday, by Rev. Mr. Steele, of the Episcopal Church. He gave his name as Lem Mooring, and was so baptized. He is now engaged in preparing for the closing act in the drama of his brief, but wicked life. Rev. R. P. Johnson, of Yorkville, preached an excellent sermon in the Episcopal church on yesterday, from the text, "What do we more than these." Members of the church were earnestly exhorted to be separate from the world, and to prove by a holy and godly life the reality of the religion they profess. Mr. Johnson had intended favoring the Episcopal flock of this place with an afternoon discourse, but was unexpectedly called to Rock Hill, to officiate in a funeral service. Mrs. Jabez Norton, of our town, departed this life on Saturday night, at an advanced age, and was buried on yesterday at Evergreen Cemetery. Qui. Jmanrial anb Commercial.

Special ftofots. A Bad Complexion is Frequently Caused by Worms. Shriner's Indian Vermifuge will remedy the whole trouble. Try it. Only 25 cents a bottle. For sale by JOHN C. KUYKENDAL. Almost Every Farmer Is acquainted with the merits of Foutz's Horse and Cattle Powders; they are so renowned throughout the United States for their wonderful effect in preventing and curing almost every disease to which horses, cows, sheep and hogs are liable, that it is unnecessary to commend them farther. For sale by JOHN C. KUYKENDAL. A Very Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggist, JOHN C. KUVKENDAL, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepatine into this country ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents, at JOHN C. KUYKENDAL'S Drug Store. Three doses relieve any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion, or liver complaint in the world. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, $1.00. September 20 38 eawly A Gentle Hint. In our style of climate, with its sudden changes j i of temperature?rain, wind and sunshine often J intermingled in a single day?it is no wonder that j our children, friends and relatives are so fre-1 quently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept al>out your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps death, | by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia. Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.
