there is no money to set it going. Col. S. I Percy Ellis, who probably would be better known to his old acquaintances if it were not parted in the middle, but was written piain i. Stephen Ellis, hasn't any money. Mrs. Inez Beckam, who lives in Tensas Parish, La., is | likewise poor. Mrs. Appoline Ellis, the widow of Thomas La Roche Ellis, who was killed in the Confederate service, is dependent upon a position in the Philadelphia post of- 11 fice, which her uncle, Gen. Meade, obtained for her, and the sons of Gen. Chas. G. Dahlgren, who are half brothers of Mrs. Dorsey, J1 are likewise impecunious. Gen. Dahlgreu, once worth $750,000, is now an aged and poor man, living by such law practice as in his limited acquaintance he can obtain, and ( although he is not interested in the contest, 1 except to the extent of the welfare of his sons, 1 who were the children of Mrs. Dorsey's moth- * er, he would contribute liberally had he his 1 old time fortuue, as he bears a cordial dislike * for Jefferson Davis, who, he claims, grossly mismanaged the cause of the Southern Confederacy, and placed promotion in the way 1 only of those Generals who lost battles. > Colonel Ellis is seeking a lawyer who will 1 take the case on a contingent fee. Several lawyers have already refused to touch it on 5 the ground that there is no legal evidence by ' which they could hope to break the will. Mr. Ellis alleges the promise made by Mr. ' Samuel Dorsey before his death, that an in- ( > 11^ .-j.j r__ ?K;i_ 1 come snouia ne pruviueu iui mo j v?... dren, and the request he made of his wife to take care of them. Another ground alleged * is that there is insauity in the family, and ' that Mrs. Dorsey's mind was somewhat unsteady, and when it was subjected to the strong personal influence of Jefferson Davis, it was j not a sound and disposing mind capable of ( j making a will. The other point relied upon j <i is that Jefferson Davis exercised undue influence. Mr. Ellis being remote from his sister's surroundings, cannot present adequate ' proof of this to attract a lawyer. An imS>rtant witness to it, however, is Mortimer . ahlgren, now a resident of St Louis, who spent a year or two at Beauvier attending to Mrs. Dorsey's interest. He went there, it is < said, on the promise that his half-sister would j1 do something for him, but he left when he a found that Jefferson Davis had supplanted ? every one else in Mrs. Dorsey's affections, 1 and that Mr. Davis was virtually director of \ the Dlace. The contestants feel very bitter toward the ex-President of the Confederacy, and they throw out dark hints of things which they profess to know, and which they say that they believe Jefferson Davis would ; rather not have disclosed, even though he had to compromise to prevent it. ? . ? Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. c ? t LETTER FROM CHESTER. j Chester, S. C., August 5, 1879. * At the present time religious fanaticism ( runs high among the negroes of Chester and vicinity, and there seems to be a spirit of riv- | ~ airy between the Methodist and Baptist denominations. Several negroes have recently become insane in consequence of this excitement, and as a result, Sheriff Walker's cook had to be confined in jail, and others are acting strangely. A girl twelve years old, who lived at the house of your correspondent, i preached and shouted on Main street, last Saturday, to a crowd of gaping darkies, when I her discourse was brought to a sudden termination without waiting for a formal doxology. A negro tramp, from Columbia, calling himself Jesus Brown, was arrested here last week and made to work out some telegraphing, clothing, etc., and on Saturday was marched out of town, northward, by policeman Gordon. The authorities of Yorkville and Rock Hill would do well to look out for him. He has a bad face. Mr. Robert D. Galbraith and his bride are making a short visit to his father, in this % place. They will visit friends in Yorkville j <; and Rock Hill, and then go to Spartanburg, v where Mr. Galbraith proposes to locate j r Our yofrni; dentfet, Dr. G. B.' White, was n married on the 29th ultimo, to Miss Carrie | ( Henry, daughter of Capt. W. J. Henry, of this county. f The store of J. E. Curtis, tin-ware, etc., ^ was closed, for the purpose of foreclosing ' mortgage, by Col. S. W. Mobley, last week, ? and the stock removed to the old jail building v on Depot street j Mr. J. George Schorb, an attache of the j Southern Presbyterian office, in Columbia, vis- . " * * ,xr 1 . 1 |1 iteu unesier on weunesuay ia?i, ?iu< jji?iucc??- v ed from here to Rock Hill on Thursday, for s the purpose of attending the M. E. District t Conference. (r The up train on the C. C. & A. Railroad met j v with an accident last Wednesday that might i f< have proved serious. Between White Oak ; and Younguesville, as the locomotive turned j " a curve, it struck a cross-tie that had been placed on the track. In the collision the : cross-tie became so firmly wedged under the cow-catcher that the locomotive had to be ,j raised in order to extricate the piece of timber. 1 Early on the morning of the 23rd ultimo, i Mr. Wm. Simpson, living near Torbit's Mill, 1 heard some persons in his yard. He fired upon them, and they returned the fire twice, i Andy Pressley has been arrested and bound < over by Trial Justice Lloyd in the sum of ( $300 to answer for the offence. g Messrs. George Gage and Ashbel G. Brice ; have returned from their pedestrian mountain tour. They appear better looking, and ? report that they walked about 300 miles altogether. , Mrs. Dr. J. J. Stringfellow and Miss Jauie ! i Striugfellow left for Catawba Springs last j t week. Mayor Agurs and family are also at j | the Springs, and will be absent until the 1st 1 of September. The Stonewall Fire Engine Company held a meeting last Friday night. Mr. Thos. W. I Clawson offered his resignation as secretary of, I the company, and Thomas L. Chambers was . elected to fill the vacancy. A large number of the citizens of the conn-11 ty met in the Court House yesterday to con- i ' sider the recent appointments of Treasurer ! and Auditor of this county. | < Alexander Wise was elected chairman of the meeting, and Messrs. R. A. Love and . John C. McAfee, secretaries. A committee on resolutions was appointed, ' and after retiring for a short while reported the following: Resolved 1st, That the Democracy of Cites- < ter county distinctly disown and resist any imputation that they either desire or intend to interfere with the prerogatives of his Excellency the Governor of South Carolina. Resolved 2nd, That the Democracy of Chester county do hereby pronounce their unqualified disapproval of the "paper" prepared and i signed by the delegation in Columbia in December, 1H78, and presented to the Governor, as ill direct violation of the "rules" under which they themselves were elected and in violation of their pledges made on the stump. j Resolved 3rd, That the Democracy of dies- j ter county do hereby express their unqualified disapprobation of the conduct of Mr. .Julius ; Mills, chairman of the executive committee, and of the means adopted by him to procure the appointment as treasurer, which is in direct contravention to the rules adopted by the Democracy of this county. Resolved 4tli, That Messrs. .J. is. .Mtxrauuen and W. J. Lucas have the continued support of the Democracy of Chester county as their ; choice for the offices of treasurer and auditor ; and are herein commended to His Excellency Governor W. 1). Simpson for his appointment to said offices. Resolved 5th, That a copy of these resolu-1 tions he forwarded to the Governor, expressing the sentiments of this meeting, and to be signed by the chairman and secretaries. Resolved (itli, That the petitions which have been circulated and signed throughout the county l>e also forwarded to the Governor. Resolved 1th, That should the Governor, W. D. Simpson, not give favorable audience to the prayer of the i?etitions forwarded, our . Senator, W. A. Walker, be requested to urge k upon His Excellency the Governor to withY draw the names of the present api?ointees, and should he decline to do so then urge upon the Senate not to confirm the same, setting forth I the reasons therefor. Resolved 8th, That a select committee of three be appointed to bear His Excellency a 1 copy of the above resolutions, together with petition of citizens. R. T. Mockbee, Chairman of Committee. After the resolutions were read before the meeting, Hou. J. J. Hemphill spoke at length in defence of the delegation and of the exec- ! utive committee. Gen. W. A. Walker fol-1 lowed Mr. Hemphill, defending his position. Maj. Julius Mills followed Gen. Walker in defence of himself, after which Capt. R. T. Mockbee addressed the meeting for the opposition, after which the resolutions were adopted almost unanimously. The house was filled, and considerable feeling was manifested. At the regular monthly meeting of the I Hitter Ruihlintr Rnd Loan Association, last j night, six shares of stock were bought iu at j 597.75 per share. There are fifty-five shares : still unredeemed, and the probability is that the Association will close its affairs at an jarly day. The Clerk of the Court sold, yesterday, the 'Morrison" place, 130 acres, on Grassy Run, ;wo miles east of Chester. Bought by R. Patterson for 8900. There were no sales by ;he sheriff.
