yet this act of executive clemency will be received by our people as another evidence of the conciliatory policy of President Hayes. There are now no kuklux prisoners from this State serving sentence iu any prison ; and but for the recent action of the Democratic majority of the House of Representatives, we haven't a doubt that at an early day a proc- j lamation of general amnesty would have been ! issued by the President, relieving all persons charged with political offences, and permitting the return of a large number ef refugees, driven from their homes to escape prosecution. REUNION OF HART'S BATTERY. A reunion of Hart's Battery?commanded during the war by our townsman, Major James F. Hart, now no less honored and respected as a civilian than when, amid the flashing of the guns, he was admired as ao intrepid soldier?will take place in Blackville on the 4th of July next. Every surviving member of the Battery, (those who were disabled and left it, as well as those who were so fortunate as to remain with it to the last, and whethor now residing in South Carolina or in other States,) is invited to join in the reunion, and may expect a warm and hearty reception. The programme of the day's exercises is arranged to commence with a national salute of thirty-eight guns fired at 10 A. M. by the Washington Artillery, of Charleston, after which the survivors will march in procession to the Courthouse and hear an address from from Gen. James Conner of Charleston, the chosen orator of.the day. After the conclul sion of Gen. Conner's address the survivors ^ and the invited guests will proceed to an adjacent grove and there discuss the merits of a basket picnic. The exercises will close with a wine collation served at 5} P. M., and whieh will be prolonged until the feast of reason aud the flow of soul are exhausted. Among the distinguished gentlemen who are expected to be present are Governor Hampton, Gen. S. D. Lee and Gen. M. C. Butler. THE JENKfNS RIFLES. Next Thursday promises to be a grand day in Yorkville, the occasion being the celebration of the first auniversary of the formation ot our military company, the "Jenkins Rifles," which, to the future of Yorkville's local history, will, we trust, add as resplendent lustre as did the revered and time-honored "Jaspers," whose place in our military organization they supply. To add to the attractiveness of the occasion, the ladies, ever foremost in a worthy cause, have voluuteered their assistance, and iiu addition to the military display promised an the afternoon, a highly entertaining performance will be given in the evening, in the chapel of the Female Institute. The programme of this entertainment is published in our advertising columus, and we can assure the public that it will afford a fund of entertaining amusement, aud prove well worthy of a liberal patronage. Mr. Brennecke, the ac| complished leader of the Chester Siring Band, t - ' onroinoa nf Kim. f ItSLi also KlUUiy imiucicu tuc IKMIVW U. ?.M. self and the talented musicians whom he deads, so that lovers of good music will, by this feature alone, be amply compensated for the time and money devoted to so deserving a cause as this appealing to their liberality. The visiting military will consist of the "Catawba Rifles," Captain Iredell Jones, of Rock Hill, and the "Lee Light Iufantry," Captain J. K. Marshall, of Chester. These companies will arrive on the afternoon train from Chester, and will be met at the depot by the Cadets of the King's Mountain Military School and the Jenkins Rifles, who, preceded by the Yorkville Helicon Baud, will escort ^ their visitors through Main street to the R grounds of the Military School, where the companies will go on dress parade under com? <nand of Col. Coward. After dress parade the Rifles will escort their visiting comrades to the quarters provided for them at Rose's Hotel, when the command will disband, preparatory to the evening's entertainment at the Female Institute. The promised pageant of citizen soldiery, with no minion of a despotic administration to menace the exercise of their rights as freemen worthy of a noble heritage, is something to which our people have long been unaccustomed, and will, we feel assured, attract a large number of visitors from the country.

The firemen had hardly taken out their engine, wheu the cry was raised that the fire was extinguished. Burning of kerosene oil in a house on Centre street occasioned the alarm aud the consequent excitement. A large proportion of the colored population of our town participated in an excursion to some point on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad on Thursday. After paying expenses, the profits of the excursion were devoted towards the liquidation of a debt resting upon a colored church of this place. This appears to be a popular way of raising money, both among whites and colored, in behalf of any public enterprise. The example of the Lee Light Infantry in cancelling an indebtedness, by chartering a railroad train, is followed by '* ? i ? r *i our colored citizens ror me same purpose. On Thursday John Richards, colored, was put in jail by Deputy Sheriff Walker, on a warrant issued by Trial Justice McDonald, charged with stealing a watch and ten dollars from John Campbell, colored. The watch was found on Richard's person, but the money had been spent. To Messrs. Samuel A. Murphy, Samuel Walker and J. K. Marshall is the credit principally due of detecting the perpetrator of the theft, and placing him in jail. The improvement of Chester continues, notwithstanding the depression of business and the dullness of the times. Col. Samuel Mobley is erecting a handsome brick structure on Depot street and a frame building on Valley street. The former is intended for a 6tore, and the latter for a residence. The brick structure will add greatly to the appearance of Depot street, which promises to be some day a riv il of Main street in point of business and beauty. A considerable uumber of young men from our town spent Thursday very agreeably at Torbit's Mill Pond. Their pleasure consisted in fishing, aud feasting upon fish. This is the beginning of the season of fishing parties, and it is quite probable that they will be more numerous than heretofore. The gentlemen have so much leisure time in consequence of the exceeding dullness in business that they will frequently indulge in this pleasant amusement. The hot weather of last, week was highly beneficial to the crops. The injury occasioned by the cool, wet weather that preceded, ' > --J c n&S disappeared, auu lanuera aic uun tcjwiping in good stands of both cotton and corn. Oats is generally very good, and promises a tine yield. A considerable amount of wheat is suffering from rust, and the yield will be affected accordingly. Millet is extensively grown, and looks beautifully. More attention is given by farmers to the raising of hogs, and the result will be that the quantity of meat cured in this county next winter will exceed that of any winter since the war. The day of prosperity will dawn upou this impoverished country when our people have their corn cribs and Bmoke houses at home, and not in Baltimore. The prospect of the speedy arrival of that day is bright. At a meeting of the Lee Light Infantry, on Friday, the article of the constitution giving the Captaiu the right to appoint the non-commissioned officers, was repealed, and it was decided to select these officers by ballot. An election was then held with the following result: H. Hollister, 1st Sergeant; N. B. Alexander, 2ud Sergeant; C. R. Brice, 3rd Sergeant; E. M. Secrest,4th Sergeant; William Elliott, 5th Sergeant; J. F. Green, Ensign ; T. N. Chambers, 1st Corporal; I. N. Cross, 2nd Corporal ; J. L. Simmons, 3rd Corporal, and F. M. Nail, 4th Corporal. The Company has accepted an invitation of the Jenkins Rifles, to be present at a festivity given in Yorkville, next week, aud are expecting a happy time. Messrs. C. E. Cobb and W. I. Clawson, acting under orders from Deputy Collector Galbrailh, seized, on yesterday, at Feasterville, in Fairfield county, a wagon and team, and two unstamped barrels of whisky. The driver, whose name is Hamptou Jones, was arrested, and is now in jail at this place. The owner of the nantured oroDertv. Blank " -y "* ?i r ? v ' enship, wa9 fired upou, but made his escape. Messrs. Cobb and Clawson were three days in pursuit of the illicit whisky dealer, before they overtook him. Dr. A. H. Davega, President of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad Company, has, within the past few days, sold S5,700 of Chester county bouds. Since the late decision of Judge Bond in regard to York county bonds, these bonds, as well as Chester county bonds, may be regarded as first-class investments. Purchasers of these securities need not entertain a single doubt in regard to their validity, as both the State Courts and United States Court have given very emphatic decisions upon this point. Our town was visited with a refreshing rain last evening. It did not extend throughout the couuty. Rev. Mr. Steele officiated yesterday at the Episcopal Church, and Rev. Mr. Carlisle, at the Methodist church. The other churches were closed. Qui. MERE *MEXTION. The commission appointed uuder the Potter resolution will sit in Washington uutil the adjournment of Congress, when sub-committees will be appointed to take testimony in Florida and Louisiana. The National Greenback Labor party of Indiana, has nominated a full State ticket. The coroner's jury have returned a verdict on the disaster which occurred at Minneapolis, three or four weeks ago, from an explosion of mill dust ignited by sparks from stones running empty. The evidence shows no negligence on the part of any one. In the town of Clarksville, Texas, on the 22nd instant, a fire occurred, destroying niueteen business houses and property of the value of ?150,000. The post office committee of the House have agreed to the bill requiring postmasters appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, to report monthly ; others may report quarter ly. At Baltimore, last Friday, George W. Bishop, an ex-Judge of the Orphan's Court, was arrested on a charge of abstracting $20,000 in bonds, held by the Court for a minor. A thousand acre plantation in the Yazoo Valley, Mississippi, recently sold for $55 per acre. The Richmond newspapers and public men in Virginia believe that Joseph E. Johntson, the ex-Confederate general, will be elected to Cougress from the Richmond district, almost unanimously, Greenbacks are selling at a premium in San Francisco. If a person wants to exchange gold for currency, he has to pay more than their par value for the greenbacks. A severe tornado raged in Wisconsin on Tuesday of last week. Fifteen persons were killed. The Indi aus are behaving well this season. They will soon learn to prefer quiet rest and government rations to the uncertainties of the unprovisioned war path. The beauty of the ladies of Baltimore has become the standard of comparison the world over. They maintain the peculiar clearness and richness of complexion by the occasional use (as required) of Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture. Jfinaitcia! anb Commercial. YORK VILLE, May 29.?Cotton, 0 to 94.

When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The digestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nervous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the Liver. It has been successfully proved that Green's August Flower is unequaled in curing all persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the Liver and Stomach.

The human stomach and liverare fruitful sources of life's comforts ; or, disordered and diseased, they tingle misery along every nerve and through every artery. The man or woman with good digestion see beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the routine of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at even imaginary objects. The world needs two or three new kinds of medicine before rloatii nan honflrfifw.lv abolished : hut that manv lives have been prolonged, and many sufferers from Liver disease, Dyspepsia, and Headache have been cured by Merrill's Hepatine, is no longer a doubt. It cures Headache in twenty minutes, and there is no question but what it is the most wonderful discovery yet made in medical science.

The poor haying the gospel PREACHED to them, was one of the evidences of our Lord's Messiahship. Well, if they do not, it is not the fault of Carriage Makers,' for we otfer good, respectable looking second-hand Buggies for $25, and new ones low in proportion. But it is not every family that can buysomething to ride to church in, even at $25; and they live too far from a church to walk ; the delicate health of the mother, and the children too small to go by themselves, shuts them out of the Lord's House. Go into all the world and Dreaoh the GosDel to every creature, was our Lord's command to his Ministers. If the Gospel was preached to every intelligent creature, once each two weeks, in York county, for even one year, the unprofitable encumberers of the ground, dug about with kind and gracious words, enriched by passages from the word of truth, given encouragement and consolation and assured that Christ had died that they might live, the children catechised and told that they are heirs of a better inheritance than this world, and that sin alone can deprive them of it?criminals would only be known as has beens, jails would be empty, Court House officers' occupations would be almost gone, and the money paid in taxes to convict and maintain criminals would be saved, and every family would be able to have a nice vehicle to ride in.
