except in so far as relates to the parties to that action. Two cases under the same title were heard together. The one asking for a writ to compel the County Treasurer of York to pay certain coupons, and the other to compel payment for the redemption of certain bonds. The questions involved are identical and the judgment of the court applies to each case. And in each, the judgment is that the motion for mandamus must be denied. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, March 18, 1878. The circus drew a large crowd to town on last Tuesday. Both races, both sexes, and all ages, were represented in the throng that gathered here to witness the performance. The procession on the streets did not equal displays of it similar kind on previous occasions. The clown rode quietly along, without indulging in any witty remarks, or performing any amusing tricks. The wagons containing the wild animals were closed. Only the elephant and camels were visible to the eye of the spectator. A considerable nura' - _:?u ber were torcea 10 oe sausueu whu a ??*>?? v> the procession, as they were unable to buy tickets to the regular performances. In consequence of the exceeding scarcity of money, the exhibitions, both afternoon and evening, were not so well attended as they would otherwise have been. The pleasure of the afternoon performance was marred by a fall of rain, which, leaking through the canvas, made it uncomfortable for those within. The riding is said to have been splendid. The most wonderful act of the performers, that I heard of, was the lifting of a barrel of water by a woman with her teeth. It is to be hoped that a long time will intervene between the coming of the next circus. The couutry would be greatly beuefited if all circus companies were broken up, and all persous connected therewith usefully employed. The Court of Common Pleas reconvened on Wednesday morning, after an adjournment from Monday afternooB. At that time the members of both juries united in a petition to the presiding Judge, requesting their discharge from further attendance upon the present term. -The petition rested upon the grouud that they were ueeded at home to direct their planting interests. The Judge said that he would willingly grant their request, if he could do so consistently with his idea of duty. The proper disposal of the civil business was, he said, a matter of the great est importance; a matter in which the existence of good government itself was concerned. He informed the jurors, however, that he was disposed to do ail in his power to hasten their departure homeward. To accomplish this end, he said that, in consequence of the interruption to business that would necessarily result from the circus, it was his intention to adjourn the Court on Tuesday, to reconvene on Wednesday, from which time he would push the business with all possible rapidity. Wednesday was almost entirely consumed in the trial of the case of William Adams vs. Chisholm Adams, administrator of Thomas Adams. The plaintiff, who was at the time living in Florida, sent a power of attorney to Thomas Adams to enable hint to draw some money belonging to the plaintiff. Thomas Adams collected the money, but soon ufter died without turning it over to the plaiutiff. An action was then brought against the administrator of Thomas Adams for the recovery of the money. Hon. Samuel McAliley and Wih. A. Sanders, Esq., represented the plaintiff, and S. P. Hamilton, Esq., appeared for the defendant. The defence rested their case principally upon the dying declaration of Thomas Adams, that he was in no way in-1 debted to William Adams. There was also I evidence of several payments, by him, in Confederate money, to William Adams. The jmy-scaled the Confederate payments according to the Corbin bill, and then found a balance in favor of the plaintiff of $405. Tn the nfiernoon. the case of J. W. Carter vs E. J. Worthy was tried. This was a suit for the recovery of the balance on a note, which the defendant contended had been paid, hut of which paymeut no endorsement had been made ou the note. The jury were unable to agree upon a verdict. TheCourt was engaged on Thursday in the trial of the case of Mrs. Mary Mobley, exec BSR utrix of Dr. Isaiah Mobley, vs. Samuel McAliley. The suit was fi>r the recovery of money upon a note, on which the defendant W was a surety. W. A. Sanders, Esq., and J. ST F. Hart, Esq., appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. W McAliley pleaded his own cause, assisted hy S. P. Hamilton, Esq. One of the grounds of defence was that the plaintiff did not make the necessary effort to collect the note from one of the principals, John Simpson, when he went into bankruptcy. Though he owned considerable property, she made no report of her claim to the registrar in bankruptcy, and hy this act of negligence did not share in the dividends declared in the bankrupt court. Another ground of the defence was that the plaiutiff, after having obtained a judgmeut against the other principal to the note, John Beard, did not secure, by levy and sale of his property, the amount due upon the note. This was alleged to be an act of uegligence on the part of the plaintiff for which the defendant ought not to suffer. The jury rendered a verdict of $2,900 in favor of the plaintiff, which was the full amount claimed. On Friday morning the Court was engaged in the trial of the case of Lineberger & Hinckle vs. \V. W. Worthy. The case resolved itself into a question of veracity between the plaintiffs and the defendaut?the former testifying that the understanding was that the proceeds of the first cotton sold by defendant was to be applied to the satisfaction of an account unsecured by lien ; the defendant swearing to the contrary. The jury found in favor of the defendant. In the afternoon, a case in which Dr. Moffett Wylie was sued by some colored men for the recovery of the value of some cows, was *-:-J ina.tr f/Miiift in foonr nf rfp. UICU. X lie JUIJ IVUIIU IU <M*v V. ?MV feodant. Jurors, to their exceeding great delight, were then discharged by the presiding Judge. Saturday was spent by the Court in hearing aud determining equity cases. A number of directors and friends of the Cheraw and Chester Railroad Company, accepting an invitation of the President, W. H. Hardin, Esq., greatly enjoyed a ride to Rich Hill on Thursday afternoon. The run was made in about an hour. Arriving at our destination, we?for it was my pleasure to be one of the party?found several of our Rich Hill friends: Captain Barber, Dr. Atkinson, Dr. Heath, and others, ready to receive and show us around. We were not long in reaching the headquarters of the town, the store of Messrs. Barber & Drennan, who by the way, are enterprising business men. There or thereabouts, some of the party expected to 6nd something of a stimulating nature, but being disappointed in this expectation, they partook abundantly of water. Messrs. MofFett & Atkinson have erected a storehouse, but will not engage in business until next fall. Rich Hill boasts of a Masonic Lodge in a flourishing condition. Prosperity to our brethren of the mystic tie. While Rich Hill is the preseut terminus of ? - j?: 1 ??? the road, it is me uesue auu cAi^iauuu ui the directors to take immediate steps to extend it. The next objective point will be Fishing creek, which is about five miles from Rich Hill. When this place is reached, a large amount of cotton from Chester and Lancaster counties will be brought there for shipment over the road. As the extension of the road to this point would be of immense advantage to the people of this vicinity, it is their duty to aid the energetic and enterprising President with their encouragement, and with their means, in accomplishing the desired result. Our train having been unloaded of a considerable quantity of corn, it was ready to return to Chester with the party of lively excursionists. So bidding good bye to our Rich Hill frieuds and their town, which promises to be a place of considerable note, we took our departure. After a smooth aud easy ruo of about an hour, the party arrived safely at home. Rev. R. \V. Brice departed this life, at his i residence, in this county, on Thursday night. < j His health, during the past three or four months, had been such that his friends enter- i tained little or no hope of his recovery. He was the pastor of Hopewell church for many years, and was greatly beloved by his people. Iu his death, the church has lost an able and earnest preacher, and the State a good and excellent citizen. The funeral services were j preached by Rev. Mr. Betts and Rev. Mr. i Lathan, on Saturday, at Hopewell church, j and the remains were buried in the graveyard i attached. A large number of friends were present. About forty negr es left this place and Low-1 rysville, on Friday, for Kansas. A month or I so ago, about the same number left here for j j the same place. Their letters to friends here, ; giving a glowing account of their new home, have attracted others. When they shall have ; experienced the rigors of a Kansas winter, ' ! they will be willing to return to Chester, and j ' live under Democratic rule. Qui. THE RETIRING ACT. The following is the full text of the Act, . ; approved March 12, 1878, suspending for one | ; year the act of the Legislature providing for j the levy of a tax to retire the bonds of York county : AN ACT to suspend 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 f Narrow Gauge Railroad Company, and forother j purposes relating thereto," in so far as the said Act imposes any duty or duties upon the County Commissioners, County Auditor or County Treasurer of the county of York.

A BOOK THAT EVERYBODY WANTS. We have received from the National Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, the advance sheet of their new work, entitled The Pictorial History of the World, by James D. McCabe, a well-known historical writer. It is the most valuable book that has been published in this country for many years. It contains a separate and admirably written history of every nation of ancient and modern times, and is full of useful information concerning them, presented in popular style, and in a manuer that will enable the reader to refer instantly to any subject upon which information is desired. The book is a complete treasure of history, and there is not a question that can be asked concerning any historical subject, but an answer to it can be found iu this work. The author does not content himself with a mere dry statement of facts, bnf sketches the life and manners of the va rious nations of which he treats, in life like colors, and presents to the reader the causes which led to the prosperity and decay of the great powers of the world. He shows us the various great men?the warriors, statesmen, poets, sages, and orators?of ancient and modem times, and makes them familiar to the reader ; he explains the secret motives of their actions, and points out the lessons which their lives teach. A valuable feature of this work is a complete History of the late War between Russia and Turkey?the ouly one in print. The mechanical execution of the book ' deserves the highest praise. It contains 1260 large double-column pages, printed in the clearest and most beautiful syle ou paper of the very best quality. The book is embellished with over 650 f.ne engravings, embraciug battles and other historical sceues ; portraits j of the great men of ancient and modern times ; ' and views of the principal cities of the world. I These engravings are geuuiue works of art, and were made at a cost of over ?25,000. The ; great number and high character of these en gravings make this the most valuable art publication of the century. It is for sale by sub scription only, and agents will find that this book will sell readily when all others fail, from the fact that it is a work that the people really want. See the publishers' advertisement for agents in another column. ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Ou Wednesday of last week, 13th instant, the Governor approved the following acts and joiut resolutions passed by the General Assembly: An act to incorporate the Landsford Manui facturing Company, in the State of South Carolina. An act to amend an act entitled "An act to establish uniformity in the sessions of the Circuit Courts," approved June 9th, 1877.

The varieties of Millet known as "CAT-TAIL," get this soubriquet from a fancied resemblance of the bloom, or head, to the feline caudal appendage. That there is more than one variety of this family, there can bono doubt, and that the value possessed by the Cat-tail variety over that of others, lies in the fact of its taking on another growth or reproducing itself aftereaeh successive cutting. The "Cat" that we are proprietor of, produces ^ a fine Straw or SIUIK ; grows irum mroe \aj iivo feet high and has this advantage over the "BIG CAT" of our neighbors, that it can be used either as a green food, or cured as hay. That our "Cat" is a genuine "Cat," we submit the following extract from ft letter received from MESSRS. ALLISON & ADDISON, old and reliable seedsmen of Richmond, Vh. : "We sent you the Cat-tail Millet; not the 'German' or 'Hungarian' Millet. It will take successive growths, if cut before it blooms or goes to seed." AS TO THE CULTURE OF OUR "CAT" it should be planted in drills. The width of the rows and the quantity of seed to be used will readily suggest themselves to the discriminating farmer. We reiterate that we are selling our "Cat" at a profit, and are offering 20 pounds of the seed for a dollar. JOHN C. K DYKENDAL. YOBKYILLE hsyo skh3x J. M. ADaMS, Proprietor.

March 7 10 4t CLARK BROTHERS A FEW MORE WORDS"about CAT-TAIL MILLET ! IXTE made the announcement three weeks ago, fy that we were offering for sale genuine Catail Millet Seed?an article warranted to be pure, md of the variety known, in this section, by the ibove name. We are confident that ours is the inly house here, with probably one exception, hat is offering the genuine seed. Other dealers iffering "Cat-tail Millet" have simply been derived as to the article in question. It'isaltogeth>r a different kind of cat. We would not refer to his branch of the subject, but for the wide differince between the price of our seed and the price if that offered by other dealers. We speak sin:erely, when we say that the price fixed on our leed admits of no profit, and that it barely pays lost and carriage. We desired to introduce it imnna fho farmflrs of York, feeling assured that he cultivation of it would pay them an hundred 'old, and in order to popularize it, we put the jrice as low as it could be afforded. We still naintain the price?thirty-five cents per poundled also the position that the lower-priced seed is lot what the dealers innocently supposed it to be. fVe wish to be understood on this point, that we lo not impute improper motives to those offering he cheaper seed. They are simply mistaken as o the name of the seed they offer. For the most latisfactory results, we advise farmers to be sure hey plant the pure "Cat-tail," and their fullest jxpectations will be realized. For the information of farmers we give as folows the mode of culture, as practiced by the genleman from whom we procure our seed?hehavng cultivated it successfully for several years. 'Bed rich soil, 3J or 4 feet wide; harrow the beds ilean ; drill the seed on the bed in a small furrow, us in drilling turnip seed, covering very lightly, [n cultivating for green soiling, do not put a hoe brough the plants, but side line with hoe. The fiants will then stand thick, and being dwarfed vill furnish more forage. That intended for seed ibould be planted the last of April or the first of Vfay. and thinned to two or three stalks each hoe vidth. It may be plowed with either sweep or sultivator. For other than seed crop, it may be jlanted any time after the above dates. When Irst coming up, the plant looks insignificant and eeble, but after the warm suns it grows rapidly, ind on rich ground it can be out every fifteen lays. Late in June it may be sown broadcast, vith field peas, on rich soil, harrowed in at the ate of 20 pounds of seed to two bushels of peas >er acre. This gives a magnificent forage crop." We can supply all demands, and will be pleased o receive orders for the genuine seed. CLARK BROTHERS. ETREKA AMMOXIATED BONE SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME AND ETIWAN DISSOLVED DONE.

No Phosphates are equal to it for composting, and it has been thoroughly tested without composting, and has been fouHd to eqnal iny of the standard Guanos sold, and costs much less per ton. I can, therefore, safely recommend it to one and all. There is also a saving in the cost of the Eureka ever other fertilizers of 25 pounds of Cotton on the ton ; and it is conceded to be equal to any of the Fertilizers now on the market.
