| to you for the memories of the past?to appeal to you for the sake of all you have done for South Carolina?to appeal to you in the name of your State, to be now good citizens in peace as you were brave aud honorable soldiers in war. [Cheers.] I see upon this banner the legend, "Right shall make might!" Right shall make might, ray friends. We may not see it here on earth, where truth so often goes down before falsehood and wrong prevails over right, but in the last great reckoning, then you shall find that right shall make might, and you who have stood by the right, shall, on that day, hod that might shall prevail. [Immense applause.] Comrades of the Artillery ! Cherish this flag; remember your record of the past; remember that you are attached to that proud old command, and never forget that you are sons of South Carolina. [Applause.] You have borne that banner on the battlefield ; bear it now as honorably. I confide it to vnur keening. knowing that it will be pro tected and honored. [Immense cheering.] The scene during the utterance of these words defies description. There was hardly a dry eye in the vast assembly. The modest and unasuming gentleman who received the flag from Governqr Hampton, wasSergt. E. J. Quimby, of the Washington Artillery, who was with Hart's Battery in eighty five of the one hundred and forty-three fights of which Governor Hampton spoke. pleasing epi80de. During the wine collation which followed the above ceremonies, Governor Hampton stepped forward and said: I am goiug to do what I have often done before. I am going to order Hart's Battery to the front, and I propose the health of Gen. Hart, of the Washington Artillery. [Cheers and laughter.] To which Major Hart replied : ^ Gentlemen of the Washington Artillery?In response to that sentiment, that Hart's Battery is again to be brought to the front, all that I can say is that the few of us that are left are always ready to perform any service Wade Hampton commands of us. [Cheers.] Whether it be upon the tented field, or whether in the civil service of the State, if we can aid in any particular by assisting in lifting South Caroliua from the ashes of her humiliation, every true 3on of Carolina is ready to give his heart and his hands in the performance of so noble and sacred an enterprise. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, February 25, 1878. The bill to alter and amend the charter of the town of_Chester has passed both branches of the Legislature, and been approved by the Governor. It empowers the TowuCounI ?:.u .!i.U fn iim.b nn t h o cfrppla an CII Wlbll IIIC llgllb HI TIUIU uu VIIV I.IW.., well as imprison offenders against the laws of the town. This is an excellent law, and will have a very salutary effect. Lazy, trifliug fellows who would not be restrained from breaking town rules and regulations from fear of imprisonment, will not be apt to do so, if the puuishiuent for their misconduct is work on the streets. They care not for being put in jail, where they have plenty to eat, and can sleep to their heart's content. But for work on the streets they have an utter aversion. Our worthy Intendant and Wardens will enforce, immediately, the new law. Our town will derive immense benefit from the work of lazy vagabonds, who only, iu this way, can be prevented from setting at defiance all law and authority. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature, authorizing the county commissioners of Chester county to levy a special tax to pay the past indebtedness of the county. That indebtedness,as ascertained by the Commission appointed for that purpose, is S3,300. While the debt is for the most part jdst, and should be paid, I do not believe that the people are able to pay it during the preseut year. ? A propr r*'g?r?L -ib?ir poverty-stricken condition requires that no tax be levied that is not esseutial to provide for State and county purposes. A tax to pay the past indebtedness of the county is not, and cannot be shown to be a tax of this character. The delay of a year or so in levying this tax is necessary to the public welfare. The people are willing to pay it when they are able to do so. It is very evident that they are not blessed with the ability at the preseut time. They are extremely poor, and will do admi rably well it tbey succeed in paying me running expenses of the government, State and county. Rain has fallen so frequently of late that farmers have accomplished very little in preparing for another crop. They are now engaged principally in building pasture fences, preparatory to fencing their stock. It is thought this new law, when put in operation, will give satisfaction to both white and colored. The opposition of the latter will give place to approval when the advantages of fencing stock have been fully observed. The low price of cotton gives farmers little encouragemeat to produce it. Yet nothing, I presume, will keep them from treading the same beaten track until the end of time. Others, more competent to the task, have proveu conclusively the folly of planting cotton to such an extent as to bring about a ruinous reduction of price, yet their labor has been in vain. Yet I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that the past and present unhappy experience of farmers will inspire them with the determination to plant, this year, a less quantity of cotton, and in its place grow breadstuffs. This will lead to ^ better times and a happier people. Friday passed otf quietly at this place. There was no observance of the anniversary of Washington's birthday, with the exception r.T the closing of the Bank and the Post-office. The "Father of our Country" was not in the thoughts of our people. The seutimeutal gives way to the practical in these days of fiuaucial depression. m A few weeks ago I gave an account of a burglar entering the residence of Mr. Robert Douglass, and stealing his watch. Mr. S. A. Murphy, who was employed by Mr. Douglass to discover the burglar, and return the stolen property, has done his work thoroughly and successfully. The burglary was perpetrated by Wash. Moblev, an escaped penitentiary ? i? i? L? u? ??j convict, WIIU II tV3 uccu taugui anu luunicu to the penitentiary. Before his capture, he disposed of the watch, which, after passing through several hands, fell into the possession of Sam Cloud, colored. Mr. Murphy, in some way peculiar to that of a detective, heard of the whereabouts of the watch, obtained it, and has delivered it into the hands of the rightful owuer. The Cheraw and Chester Railroad Company are runniug a train regularly between this place and Rich Hill, and are doing a tolerably good business. Almost every day cotton is brought here by railroad from Rich Hill, and our friends of that place and vicinity frequently visit our town in the same way-. The Cheraw and Chester Railroad Company have recently made an arraugeraent whereby cotton, inteuded for shipment on this road, can be transported across the river at Gooch's ferry, free of ferriage. Thi3 may be some inducement for the people of Lancaster to send their cotton in this direction. Messrs. Culp & Ragsdale, of Blackstocks, have made an assignment to W. D. Simpson in behalf of their creditors. This firm made a compromise with their creditors two years ago, but, iu consequence of the depressed condition of trade, they have not met with the success hoped for and anticipated, and are, therefore, unable to carry out the terms of the compromise. Rev. Mr. McCullough, of Spartanburg, L-J __ n?..? ?? preacneu UII CAUCHCIH sciiuum jcoutmaj at the Episcopal Church from the text, "Why halt ye between two opinions." He forcibly and clearly presented the danger and folly of postponing acceptance of the offers of salvation, and earnestly exhorted the unconverted to delay no longer. A novel case of a man getting married to avoid the payment of a debt, recently occurred in this county. The affair happened in this wise : The hero of this interesting story, whose name will not be given, was sued i for the recovery of the atnouut of the debt, i judgment was obtained against him, and his | personal property, consisting of a wagon and ] mule, was about to be levied upon and sold, i In this unfortunate predicament he applied < to his lawyer for counsel, who advised him that the only way of saving his property was to get married, and avail himself of the benefits of the homestead law. This advice be ] cordially embraced, as he did the wife he | very soon found. He struck out immediate- | ly in search of a wife. The first woman, to whom he made a proposition of marriage, s consented on the condition that he first pay ] her house rent. Fearing that she might not j be true to her promise after the payment of i { the desired rent, he left. The second woman | to whom he proposed accepted him uncondi- i tionally, and they were married. After the J celebration of the nuptial rite he hastened to j f his lawyer, informed him of his marriage, i and desired to "take the homestead." Upon , hearing this, the lawyer saw the sheriff, told ( him of the marriage of his client, of his be- j iug entitled to the benefits of the homestead 1 1 law, aud thus stopped the sale of his property. In addition to having a wife, he has still j < something of greater importance, (to him) a < wagon and mule. The Democratic Executive Committee of . Chester county met to-day, Maj. Julius Mills, chairman. The Democracy of the various townships were urged to organize and enroll 1 at once. It was decided to hold the Demo- < ! cratic County Convention on the 1st Monday J in June. In the iuterval, the "faithful" of 1 each township are directed to meet, and elect 1 delegates to the Convention. They are' ad- ' vised to discuss the advisability of electing ' delegates according to the primary system, ' and if they desire, elect them in this way. J Rev. Mr. Marion, of the Associate Reform- 1 ed Church, was surprised last week by a do- ' nation party. The members of his cohere- 1 gation unexpectedly appeared at his resi- J dence, burdened with all kinds of good 1 things. Their liberality filled with joy and ' gratitude the heart of their faithful pastor. * Mr. J. W. Knox has opened a store at La- ' grange, a station on the Cheraw and Chester 1 Railroad He proposes to supply his cus- ' tomere with both dry goods and groceries. ^ His friends wish him abundant success. Qui. ' SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. Tuesday, February 19. In the Senate, the committee ou education reported favorably on the bill to repeal an act to provide for the payment of past due school claims of the several counties, and unfavorably on the bill to appoint a Commissioner of Immigration to visit Europe. The judiciary committee reported unfavorably on a bill to repeal an act entitled "An act to authorize the levy of a special tax in York and Chester counties, to retire the bonds issued by said counties in aid of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad Company." Gen. Gary, a member of the judiciary committee, submitted a minority report in favor of the repeal of the act. TKo fucnrnKIp rennrt nf the finance commit tee, on the report of the special investigating 1 i commission of Chester county, was adopted. ( In the House, Mr. J. J. Hemphill intro- * duced a bill to authorize the county coramiB- ? sioners of Chester county to make a special ( tax levy for the purpose of paying the past ( indebtedness of said county. { ; Mr. Peake, of the railroad committee, re- ( I ported favorably on a bill to amend the char- 1 ter of theCheraw and Chester Railroad Com- ( pany. 1 The bill to prevent unjust discriminations by common carriers, received its third read- I ing and was sent to the Senate. ] The bill to establish the new judicial and j election counties of Berkley and Edisto, from portions of Charleston and Colleton, was indehnitely postponed. ( The bill to amend an act to establish by law the various voting precincts iu this State, ] received its third reading, passed, and was t sent to the Senate. , The Bond Commission, to whom also was referred the matter of investigating the floating debt of the State, made their report, : which was ordered to be printed. The cornmission report the total amount of claims reg- t istered, including the detached coupons of t Consolidation bonds and the Bonanza warrants, to be SI.046,629. To this amount r should be added the outstanding bills of the Bank of the State not presented to the com mission for registration, the amount of which t bills they are not able to state. They say, however, that from the statement of the reference in the case of Dabney, Morgan & Co., ' the total amount of these bills, proved up to i January 10, 1878, is $825,070. From this ! deduct an amount of $85,891 paid into the .J treasury and cancelled during the years 1874, ? 1875 and 1876, and the balance proved and outstanding is found to be $739,179. How ^ many additional bills are oustanding and not proved, the commission state that they have no means of determining. The corn- ( mission then goes into a leugthy statement of the contingent liabilities of the State, and direct special attention to the bonds issued by j the Spartanburg and Union Railroad. Appended to the report is a stntement from the I trivintr thp nrpaant status , Wiupv.ui.w 6v.,v.-., b b , ! of ihe Savannah and Charleston Railroad, i and holding that, iu no event, is the State I | liable in this case for more than ?755,000 j ' with interest. . Wednesday, February 20. ' In the Senate, the proceedings were of a f routine character. A resolution was adopted, that when the Senate adjouru, it stands adjourned until < Monday, 25th instant, at 7 o'clock, p. m. ( In the House, the committee on education 1 reported favorably on a joint resolution to provide for the payment of past due school 1 claims in Union county. I j The ways and means committee made a ! favorable report on the bill to authorize the j county commissioners of Chester county to ' I levy and collect a special tax. ] The consideration of the report of the com! mittee to investigate the bonded debt of the j State, was postponed until Tuesday, 26th inj stant. A bill to investigate the actual bona fide indebtedness of the several school districts in < | the county of Chester, was passed to its third readiug.

Thursday, February 21. In the Senate, a message was received |\ informing the Senate that the House had re- j fused to concur in the Senate amendment to j the bill to amend the crimiual law of the 1 State, in reference to the recommendation by j a majority of the jury, for mercy, in cases of conviction. Mr. Taft moved that the Senate : , ii.sist upon its amendments, and supported J his motion in an earnest and able speech. Mr. \ . Taft carried his poiut, and himself and Mr. i Manning were appointed as a committee of conference upon the part of the Senate, to confer with a similar committee from the ( House upon the differences existing between ( the two bodies. The hill to repeal an act to provide for the payment of past due school claims iu the sev- i i eral counties of this State, approved March 3, 1874, passed u second reading. < In the House, Mr. Coit moved to recon- j 1 sider the vote whereby a bill to amend an 1 act to charter the Cheraw and Chester Rail- I 1 road Company passed its third reading. Mr. j J. J. Hemphill objected to this and made a few remarks in opposition to the moliou to I reconsider. Mr. Coil's motion was agreed to, md the bill placed on the calendar. A resolution to adjourn from to day until Monday uext, after being amended so as to ruake the recess extend to 7 p. m., Monday, ivas adopted by a vote of 52 to 38. Monday, February 26. In the Senate, the committee on railroads reported favorably upon a bill to prevent cer;ain persons from traveling on free passes on railroads. In the House, the enacting clause was itrickeu out of a bill to establish the office of land commissioner. A bill to require all owners of dogs in this State to procure a license for the same, was laid upon the table. After some discussion, the following was laid upon the table: Bill to provide for a spring terra of the Courts of General Sessions and Common Pleas for the counties of Aiken, Sumter, Chesterfield, Kershatf, York, ind Abbeville, in the year 1878. Indiana Democratic Convention. The Democratic Convention of Indiana was in session at Indianapolis last week. Sovernor Hendrix was elected President. In the course of his address to the Convention be said: One of the Louisiana criminals has been tried aod convicted. The President and John Sherman say he should not have been tried. Why not? His guilt and that of others is shown by the verdict. It is a high crime igainst the nation and threatening the stability of free institutions. What are the relations between the President and Mr. Sherman and the accused, that authorize or permit an effort ou their part to influence judicial proceedings in a State court? After a long and terrible contest, it is settled that State elections and State Legislatures must be free from military influence and control; so also, it must be understood that the President and lis Cabinet cannot directly, or indirectly, interfere with Judicial proceedings under State mthority. State Courts must be wholly free ind independent of Federal control, except where the Constitution and laws give to the Federal Judiciary an appellate supervision. It is to be regretted that the acts developed ipon such a trial are of such character as to create anxiety on the part of the President md any of his Cabinet. But they cannot nuklin minrl r\P on &YUIU UiC CUCUl upuu tliC puuiiv uiiuvi v* wit ixhibitiou of that anxiety, and the uuneceslary denunciation of the State authorities. Whilst it is true that the title of Mr. Hayes ;o the office of President, and of Mr. Wheelir to the office of Vice-President, has been setJed under soiemn forms of law, and whilst it s our duty, in my judgment, to recoguize the ;itle because it is in the interest of the public stability and tranquility to do so, it s still none the less true that an imperative luty demands that fitting punishment should 3e visited upon public criminals through whose flagitious crime that judgment was obained. Because a judgment is formal and jouclusive, formsno reason why an immunity ihould be secured to a criminal through whose perjury it was obtained. If this is true )f a simple property judgment, rendered in a 2ourt of law, much more is it true of a raouitrous crime against the elective sovereignty )f a nation. The very fact that it was sucressful, furnishes the strongest reason why the rondign punishment of its perpetrators should rover it with perpetual infamy, and manifest .0 all future conspirators against the liberties )f the nation, the danger of attempting its epetition. Resolutions were adopted by the Convention strougly in favor of the retirement of National Bank notes, and bitterly denouncng what they allege as the electoral fraud by which free people were cheated out of their jhoice.

CAT-TAIL MILLET ! rHE CHEAPEST FORAGE FOR CATTLE. ? fMTITH the view of benefitting the farmers of fj York county by introducing the grass known as "CAT-TAIL MILLET," we have ordered a supply, and have it now on hand for sale, rhe experience of those who have cultivated it as ? green food for cattle, fully justifies us in recommending it as the best thing that can be cultivated for that purpose. Mr. W. J. Gordon, of Yorkville, a thrifty farmer, after thoroughly testing it. <peaks in the highest terms of its merits as food for milch cows, which they eat with relish, improving both the quantity and quality of the milk. He says he speaks within bounds when tie says that one quartof soed planted by him last season 3'ielded all the green forage that two cows ?ould eat during the summer. It Is, therefore, safe to say that one pound of seed, planted on rich ground, will yield an ample supply for two head of cattle. For horses, however, it is not relommended?nor is it desirable to feed it to them constantly. Mr. Gordon's plan is to cut the millet, when about two feet high, before the heads begin to appear?cutting only enough at a time for a single feed. Commencing in this manner with the first row of the patch, and going regularly over it, by the time the last row was cut, the first had grown sufficiently to commence taking from it again, which process can be repeated throughout the summer, as it is a plant of rapid growth. While It is preferable to use it as a green food, it also ioes well when cured for winter feeding. For this purpose, however, it should be cut while the plant is young?before heading?being then more nutritious ana less fibrous. One plowing, after the plant is about ankle high, is the only cultivation the millet requires. It should be planted from the first to the middle of May ; drilled in rows about three feet apart. The seeds are sown in the same manner as drilling turnip seeds. We are not offering this seed on speculation, bare net cost and carriage being all we desire in a pecuniary point of view. We do hope, however, the farmers will avail themselves of the opportunity thus presented for supplying themselves with a fine grass, which will prove highly remunerative, and we, therefore, put the price at thirty-five cents per pound, delivered at our Store in Yorkville. Very respectfully, CLARK BROTHERS. FANNIE L. DOBSON. RECHERCHE PATTERNS.

ALL timber for making Carriages should be cut during the dark of the moon, in January, February or March. Ash or Hickory, if cut at other seasons of the year, will be springy and not suitable for making carriages that can be warranted. I want ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS' worth of Ash, Hickory and Poplar Plank. I have the money to pay for it, and all the COAL I can get. Now, this plank that I am advertising for, I cannot work into carriages in less than twelve months 1 from the time it is cut and sawed. It must be seasoned, or work made of it will not stand. A BUGGY FOR $90! I am now making some Buggies and selling them for NINETY DOLLARS?the timber used in them having been bought in Maryland, while the timber in York county is as good as any that grows on the green earth. What is the matter with our people? Have they more money than they want ? If so, come and buy a Buggy or Carriage, according to the size of your family, and take them to church every Sunday. It will be the best investment you ever made; and if you do not acknowledge it to be so, after trying it for twelve months, I will refund the money with interest. REPAIRING. All kinds of Repairing, either of Buggies, Carriages or Wagons, promptly attended to, for which the CASH will be expected before the work is taken from the Factory lot.
