while clouded his character. The quality of the labor anu the class of people sent out, were wholly unsuited and unadapted to the needs of the land-owners and planters of the State, and while it could not supplant the labor already here, it was not even desirable, in the condition of affairs at that time, to in-, duce such people to come among us. This the speaker claimed to have foreseen; but un- j daunted by the unsatisfactory results of his first efforts, in which the people had practical j demonstration of the inutility of pauper im- j migration, he then turned his attention entirely to what he originally conceived to be the true want and need of the State?men of en-1 ergy and capital to come among us and de-! velop the resources and utilize the innumera- j ble facilities so lavishly bestowed upon us in , ? - -? ? rn i minerals, soil, climate, timber ana water, xo ; successfully accomplish this, much traveling over the North and West was necessary, and many lectures were delivered in the cities and towns which lie visited. The shaker then narrated the success which he had met in his efforts?a success plainly visible in Spartanburg, Greenville and other points 011 the AirLine Railroad, and predicted that a bright future yet awaits our State, and that if our i?eople will it, millions of capital and thousands of industrious, enterprising people can lie induced to come among us. At the conclusion of Mr. Gaines' lecture, the chairman addressed the meeting, heartily endorsing the project of inducing moneyed immigration, and commending Mr. Gaines and his work to the favorable consideration of the people, after which the meeting adjourned. Mr. Gaines will probably visit Yorkville again at a future day, of which due notice will be given, and he hopes then to meet a large number of people interested in the cause to which he is devoting his time and labor.

From what we can learn, there will be a large number of cases 011 the Sessions Docket?including nearly all the offences known to the law. There are nineteen persons in the county jail awaiting trial, of whom all are colored except one?Bruner, of North Carolina, under charge of killing Mr. Murray, a Charlotte builder, who was engaged 011 a contract at Rock Hill, at the time the homicide was committed. Of the eighteen colored prisoners, one is under charge of assault and battery with intpnt tn kill; two for gambling in the oj>en woods ; three for arson; one for highway robbery ; two for housebreaking and larceny, and the others for burglary. "With the above cases and the large number, the defendants in which are on recognizance, it is apparent that the greater i>ortion of the term will be occupied with the sessions docket. There are also in the jail three prisoners for violating laws of the United States?two serving out sentences, and the other awaiting trial in the United States District Court. A REPORT OF THE TELLER COMMITTEE. On Thursday last the majority report of the Teller committee, appointed to investigate the elections iu South Carolina and Louisiana, was submitted to Congress. The majority of the committee being Republicans, and the committee having been raised for the purpose of manufacturing political capital for the next campaign, we are not surprised at the fearful frauds and the wholesale intimidation developed by their arduous labors. The minority report has not been submitted, but when prepared, we presume it will show the o$ber side of the question and present facts in a different light. The majority report reviews the testimony of ninatv-one witness in Louisiaua and one hundred and seven in South Carolina. It states that the frauds in South Carolina, by the tree of tissue ballots extended to every county in the State but one?which must have been York, as we have never heard of any in this county?ana that between thirty and forty murders were committed in Louisiana. The committee, in drawing conclusions, say: There appears to be a widespread determination in these States to restrict the freedom of speech as to political questions upon the claim that the discussion of the relations of labor to capital, employees, and other kindred subjects, is calculated to array the colored people against the whites, and thus endanger the safety of the people. This determination is not authorized by State enact ments, but the Democrats who attend political meetings, not only of their own party, but also of the opposition, are in the habit of refusing to allow the speakers to discuss these question in their various forms. Any reference to the condition of the colored people before the war, and the causes that led to the war, are condemned as being of an incendiary character. All the attacks which have been made on the colored people have been attempted to be justified on the ground that innde threats aeainst the whites. However false and destitute of foundation these reports may have been, they have been made the excuse of the most uuheard of atrocities against these people. As this pretended fear of negro insurrection is made the excuse for outrages on the colored people, it may not be amiss to say that the Democratic witnesses, when interrogated on that point, all agreed that the negro was peaceful and unrevengeful, and that notwitstanding all reports of the uprising of this class of people to murder aud j outrage the whites, there was no instance in ! American. history within tbeir knowledge when this had been don", and all admitted j that it would require great provocation to induce the colored people to resort to violence j against the whites. No prosecutions have been instituted by the State of South Carolina against the violators of her laws, and no efforts were made to punish the men who have thus wantonly outraged its citizens, and when the United States Courts have been resorted 1 to for the purpose of punishing the outrages I on the ballot, the complainant has, in very many instances, been arrested clearly in violation of law by the State authorities on charges of perjury, and committed to jail unless he : gave bail. Citizens are threatened that if they attempt to puuish offenders in United I States Courts, the witnesses will be punished in the State Courts, and thus the State not. only declines to punish these criminals, but; refuses to allow it to be done in the United j States Courts. The State government is a white government. No colored men are repre- i seated iu it, and so far ao man coaaected with ! it has had the hoaesty, courage or huiaaaity to attempt to redress the outrages oa the ua- i fortuaate mea of color. The laws of South | Carolina are undoubtedly sufficient for the protection of all their citizens, but there has been a lamentable failure to enforce them, j This course must, in the end, be the destruc- j tioa of the governments of these States. The committee say that it was not possible ! within the time they had been in session to ! investigate the elections held in all the Con- j gressional districts in Louisiana and South ! Carolina, but sufficient testimony was taken to show that in several districts iu these States, not only the election for Congressmen, but the election for State and county officers J as well, were neither fair nor free, and that by violence and fraud the honest expression of the will of those entitled to vote was pre | vented, and thousands of the citizens of these States deprived of the elective franchise. In j Louisiana, both violence and fraud were ex-1 tensively used. In South Carolina fraud was I more largely relied upon. In both States these agencies, so disreputable in themselves and so dangerous to the stability of a Republican form of government, were used not only against candidates of the Republican party, but against Independent Democratic candidates, and candidates by whatever name known who were in opposition to the regular Democratic candidates. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, S. C., March 4, 1879. Our town was visited last week by Mr. Tilman R. Gaines, who, on Wednesday night, lectured in the Court House on the subject of introducing into the State moneyed immigration. Mr. Gaines has devoted several years to the subject of immigration to the I South, and has, I doubt not, accomplished much good in this direction. A negro who stole a horse in Spartanburg county was recently arrested here and committed to jail, and subsequently turned over to the authorities of Spartanburg county. The County Commissioners have ordered the working of the roads throughout the county. I notice in the progress of Chester that Mr. J. J. Gibson is erecting a very handsome fence around his residence on Columbia street. Mr. J no. R. Thompson is also making improvements on the same street Among the industrial enterprises of Chester, I should have noticed before now the plow manufactory of Messrs. Bennett & Moffatt. The plow made by this enterprising firm is very popular among the fanners, as is clearly evinced by the large number manufactured. and the ready sale they meet. Mr. William Murdoch, a bridge builder of wide reputation, has recently visited Fishing creek, on the Cheraw and Chester Railroad, with reference to a bridge across that stream at Cedar Shoals, the present terminus of the road. Several parties have recently examined the water power at Cedar Shoals, with a view, as I learn, to the erectiou of a cotton factory at that place. The executive committee of the Chester Fair Association, have located the grounds for the fair on the '"Bratton place," between the C. C. & A. and the C. & C. Railroads, about a mile from town. Trial Justice Lloyd informs me that busi ness in his office is brisk. He has turned over 830 to the county treasurer, the proceeds of fines, &c., for the last two months. Mr. John D. Boyd, living 8 miles south of Chester, owns a goat which recently gave birth to five kids. George Anderson, colored, a prisoner in jail, was released last week, his term of imprisonment having expired. At the supreme moment when about to regain his liberty, he learned that a new warrant for his arrest was in the hands of an officer, and being of a nmr ufOtf Vva morlfl h 1J AV I CI II I Ug UlSpUaXWIUU an J TTCVjr , iuuuu mo V? it from the back door of the jail, leaving the constable at the front gate. The Lee Light Infantry paraded last Friday and made a fine display. There is now some talk of raising an artillery company hera Capt. J. K. Marshall, the popular conductor on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, and captain of the Lee Light Infantry, is now at his home in this place, quite sick. The sym>pathies of the community are with him, and his numerous friends hope for his speedy recovery. The following property was sold yesterday: By the Sheriff, at the suit of R. E. Bratton vs. S. E. Bratton, 6 lots; bought by John S. Bratton for 8845. One other lot was sold at the same suit and bought by J. S. Wilson for 851. Samuel G. Anderson and David S. Cureton, executors of Daniel G. Anderson, deceased, sold the valuable mill property (about 20 acres,) with machiuery, &c., on Fishing creek, near the Cheraw and Chester Railroad. Bought by Capt. 0. Barber, of Richburg, for 81,614.00. J. L. Chambers, assignee, of H. C. Rothrock, bankrupt, sold the following property : Mortgage on property in Chester, held by Jbe Chester Building and Loan Association, for a claim of 8600. Bought by Edward Kain for 81." For foreclosure of mortgage, for the sum of 8200, due to LaFayette Lodge, I. O. O. F., tract known as the Sanders land, was sold and bought by J. L. Chambers, treasurer of the Lodge, for 810."

January 16 3 ly The "Little Detect!ve." There is hardly a housekeeper who has not at times had suspicions of short weights from butchers, grocers, or others, but with no means of testiug, they have been obliged to take articles as thev were dealt out to them. There has never been any suitable Scale made for housekeepers, or if there was, the price was too high. Seeing the great want of something of this kind, which could be furnished at a low price, the Chicago Scale Company, of Chicago, Illinois, have been to great expense in preparing to manufacture a house-keeper's Scale weighing from J ounce to 25 pounds, which they will sell for $3.00, being equal to anything of the kind that has ever sold before for three times that amount. It is made with a brass beam, steel bearings, nicely finished, and is warranted perfect. Every family should have one. It is also the most convenient Scale for any post office or business office for weighing mail matter, etc. Boxed, they weigh 10 pounds, and are sent by express.?The Interior, Chicago.
