C. : 1 THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1884. * STANYARXE WILSON, ESQ. : Among the names of candidates for Legislative honors in Spartanburg county, weno. tice that of our talented former townsman, 3 J. Stanyarne Wilson, Esq., who three years - ago became a citizen of Spartanburg, havT ing located there for the purpose of prack ticing his profession?that of the law. We t feel that a gentleman of Mr. Wilson's talent * and energy has not resided in Spartanburg s for three years without making his mark in the forum; yet with all his native ability as - a lawyer and a public speaker of exception1 ally fine powers, it may not be known to all ~ the citizens of his adopted county that he is g a young gentleman of fine standing in the - community where he was raised, having s been noted for his studious habits and close application from boyhood up. Without the 3 precocity which marks some young men, who "rise like a rocket and fall like a stick," he is possessed of native talent, which he improves day by day, and to this qualifica. tion may be added that of honest intentions r and integrity of purpose. He is a Spartan 7 among Spartans, and would make for the [ people of his adopted county a safe and ref liable and honorable representative. \ DEATH OF^IIR. BENJAMIN. Plon. Judah P. Benjamin, the distinguish? ed lawyer and advocate and ex-member of 3 the Government of the Southern Confederi acy, died in Paris on Wednesday of last J. week. About four years ago Mr. Benjamin had a bad fall in Paris from a tram-car, on the 1 road running parallel with the Seine. For3 getting that he was not quite as young as - when last in New Orleans, he jumped as * had formerly been his habit when resident 1 in the "Crescent City," Irom the car while it was still in motion, and losing his feet, ~ he held on to the rail, and was dragged f many yards, dislocating his shoulder and 3 breaking two or three riDs. .tromtnissnocK J Mr. Benjamin never entirely recovered, " and one of the worsteffects resulting from the accident was that it brought back an internal f disorder, some symptoms of which had t manifested themselves at Richmond, in Virt ginia, during the civil war. Mr. Benjamin was born in 1811, on the Danish Island of i St. Croix. There he remained with his 1 parents for four years until the war was ? over, when his parents made their way to ^ Charleston in this State, and thence, a little later on, to New Orleans, La. In that city - Mr. Benjamin's boyhood was spent, until, 1 in 1829, he was sent, as a student, to Yale ? College, in Connecticut. He returned in g 1832 to New Orleans, and was immediately called to the bar. He was sent a little later s by the State of Louisiana to the United . States Senate at Washington; ana alter tne - death of Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Silas s Wright, it was the opinion of many that 5 the Senator from Louisiana was the most g eloquent orator in the Union. q Mr. Benjamin's services to the Confederate States are well known to the Southern s people. He was not one of those who were ? active in bringing on the war, but he did ? not hesitate to go with the people when once secession had been determined upon, ' and on the 31st of December, I860, he made - an eloquent speech in the Senate of the :> United States avowing his adherence to the - Southern cause, and on February 4th, 1861, withdrew from the Senate and was at once ^ appointed Attorney General of the Confed1 erate States. He was afterwards appointed s Secretary of War, but resigned in consef quence of the censure of a Congressional committee. Shortly after his resignation ? of the War Secretaryship he was appointed OonKnio-rx. r\f Qtofo whiph nncitinn hp hplrl p UCV1CW11J V/I tJlUVV) TV |/vwav*vu > >/ >.v.v* ! until the downfall of the Confederacy, enjoying to the last the entire confidence of t Mr. Davis, the army and the people. At the conclusion of the civil war, Mr. r Benjamin effected his escape from Richmond, and succeeded in making his way to 7 the coast of Florida. After experiencing i strange adventures in a small craft laden - with sponges, on board of which he put to 1 sea, Mr. Benjamin landed safely in England, where his fame as a lawyer and a states" man had preceded him, and where the Conf federacy which he had served so warmly i had still some friends. Mainly by the ad vice and assistance of the late Chief Justice * Pollock, Mr. Benjamin contrived to get call-! ' ed to the English bar without losing three 7 years in keeping terms. He was fifty-five j years old when he first put on the wig and ) gown of an English barrister, and the trei mendous experiences through which he had already passed would have exhausted the energy of most public men. Yet the history of the English bar will hereafter have r no Drouder story to tell than that of the mar - velous advance of Mr. Benjamin from the 3 humble position he occupied as a junior in J 18G6 to the front rank of his profession in r 1883. ^ - ? The Sheriff of Chesterfield county made 3 a pretence at arresting Boggan Cash one J night last week, by publicly proclaiming 3 his intentions and summoning a large posse t of men from all parts of the county to carry - out his rash design. Before arriving at the f Cash mansion, the Sheriff "was unable to act efficiently," and the posse was put in comf mand of others, who went to Cash's house - and made a thorough search, but of course 2 to no purpose. Colonel Cash said that BogI gan coula not be arrested at present, and ass sured them that he and Boggan would cer/ tainly be at Chesterfield Court House at - the next term of Court to stand their trial. - The failure to arrest Boggan is thought to be from the manner of summoning the : posse. The Sheriff had deputized a friend 3 of Cash to summon twenty men from Cole - Hill township, Cash's stronghold, where he t received most of the white votes last elec-1 tion, and of course Cash was informed of II this movement perhaps twelve hours before. THE GRANTS' FAILURE. The heaviest failure ever known on Wa street, occurred last week, by the collapse Grant & Ward, brokers, whose liabilities a ^reckoned at from eight to ten millions, ar in consequence of which the Marine Bar of New York, also failed. The firm Grant & Ward was composed of Ward, f adventurous broker, and the various men bers of Gen. Grant's family, who, it seen entrusted their entire funds and all th they could borrow to the manipulations young Ward, whose experience supplied h portion of the capital. Ward adroit counted to the Grants, at stated times, fro their own money, large sums, which a peared to be fabulous profits derived noboc knew just how, and these amounts we "reinvested" for future speculation, tl Grants innocently thinking they were tl most prosperous people in the world. ] Hup time Ward disaDneared with the mom of the concern, leaving the experience wii his unfortunate partners. As to the exte of the defalcation of Ward, the followii recent statement by U. S. Grant, Jr., thro\ much light on it, as also the loose mann in which they trusted their money with f adventurer: "The Grant family has lost its entire fortun the ruin is complete. Not only have I and n father and two brothers put every cent we pc sessed into the firm, but we invested large sur which we borrowed from our friends, supposii that everything was going along splendidly ai that wo were amassing a great fortune, i fn put the $17,500 yearly income on my wife's fo tune into the concern and then I put the print pal in with it. My father-in-law loses &r>00,C which I borrowed from him. "I knew very little about the affairs of the ? tablishment. In fact, the articles of agreeme of the tirm provided that Mr. Ward should drs all the checks and transact all the business. M Ward insisted that the business manageme should be left solely to him. I had the greatc confidence in him and I consider him to be very ableman. When he first proposed the pai nership to me I knew that he was making plen of money, and I said: 'Oh! you don't want attach yourself to a slow coach like me.' I proposed the thing a couple of times boforo agreed. "I did not, nor did my father or brothers, ha the faintest idea that anything was wrong. I to the time of the failure I believed that I w worth $1,700,000. I held the bank's notes i upward of 81,000,000. Why, I have told n friends of our fortune within a few days, litl dreaming of the real state of affairs. Then car the crash. My father camo down to the ollice ? the day of the failure, and as he walked acre the floor toward me I said : 'Father, everythi: is bursted, and we cannot get a cent out of t concern.' That was the first intimation he h that there was the slightest trouble. My broth Fred had borrowed largely from his friends, ai my brother Jesse put some borrowed mon into the firm on the day previous to the failui "So confident were we all that Grant <t Wa mint- mAMmr tKot WO invoct >Yt7I'C IU<IKV1II? ^IIVO KJi. 1UVI1CJ V1KIV if v <>* vuv everything we could get. I only drew out mo ey against my own account, but I kept putti! in almost as much, and the only real funds whi I retained were about sufficient for our livii expenses. None of us liked to keep a dollar o of the firm that was not absolutely needed, I cause we thought that we were losing when i kept money that might be earning a very hea1 profit. Several times recently when I went friends and asked them for loans on the promi of enormous interest they declared that sucl transaction would be usurious. I never ask for these loans again." The Grants are regarded as dupes rath than knaves, and in this sudden reversi which means financial ruin to many othe besides themselves they have the sympatl of the people. POLITICAL 'NOTES. ?

The Columbia Register makes the f( lowing timely suggestion: "It will be good idea if all the County Conventio that are to meet to elect delegates to tl State Convention, will follow the examp of the Abbeville County Convention ar express themselves on the subject of Ju: nominations. It will be the means 01 savn a great deal of wrangling and tiresome di cussion in the State Convention, if it known in advance what is the sentiment the minority of the party." ? A Washington dispatch to the Charle ton News of last Sunday says: Represent tive Evins desires it understood in his di trict that under no circumstances will 1 consent to run again for Congress.

J0 On Thursday afternoon last the Jenkins Rifles a and the Cadets of King's Mountain Military pr School were inspected by the Adjutant and Inspector General. Gen. Manigault arrived from Rock Hill about 1 o'clock P. M., but the inspection did not take place xintil 5.30, at which hour the Jenkins Rifles, under command of Lieut. Withers Adickes, marched to the grounds of re the King's Mountain Military School, where JJ they were joined by the corps of Cadets under Lj command of Sergt. R. M. Bratton. The two pi companies were then formed together and drill- th ed in battalion by C'apt. Law, of the Rifles, and gr afterwards went through the manual of arms of under their respective officers, when the inspec- T1 tion took place. The Cadets were tirst inspected, ill and highly complimented by the General for tit their soldierly bearing and proficiency in the th school of the soldier, reflecting honor upon an institution of learning which had become his- Pr torical. The Jenkins Rifles, numbering 34 men, co vntii-onU uia u'Arfl then insnected. and thev. 4HU"' M,,,t "*v' "* " 4 ' * ' r?i too, received unqualified compliments from the inspecting officer, who pronounced them as ' finely drilled and equipped as any company that ^ j had yet appeared before him. He congratulated ?a Capt. Law upon having under his command a foi company the peer of any in the State, and con- ?x gratulated the company no less upon the efficiency and merit of its officers. The review passed off pleasantly and was creditable alike to men tin and officers. se< I MEMORIAL DAY. Qu Memorial Day was observed here lust Saturday by a well-arranged programme, which was successfully carried out, the military of the jj. town taking a conspicuous part. At 9 o'clock A. f0j M., the Jenkins Rifles formed in line, and head- qU ed by the superb Brass Band of ten pieces, con- \y( nected with the Standard Dramatic Company, on proceeded to a point opposite the Enquirer T1 office, where they were joined by the Cadets of dil King's Mountain Military School, the two com- to panics forming an imposing column, which, CO] with the procession of citizens, marched to sol- ty, emn music to the Yorkville Cemetery, where the ne ladies and Misses with their floral offerings had ce< already assembled. A beautiful floral arch had Tt been formed over the gate leading into the cem- ^ etery, on which, in distinct lettering, were the "C lines: no "Wo care not whence they came, Dear is their lifeless clay, PO Whether unknown, or known to fame, \vi Their cause and country still the same, 281 They died and wore the grey." da Under this arch with trailing arms the soldiers ' marched, followed by the bowed heads of citi- \v( zens. The companies were formed in line on Sn the northern side of the cemetery, and after a inj dirge by the band, Rev. E. X. Jovner, of the It.1 flscopal church, offered prayer, which was ilowed by "Old Hundred," by the band. Capt. iw then briefly addressed the assemblage, renting the thanks of the soldiery and citizens Mr. McElreth for the music which he so ndly tendered for the occasion. He knew that me of the gentlemen composing the band were it Southern men, but he was happy to know at they could cheerfully join in paying a just ibute to patriotism. Without any attempt at aking an address, he then briefly paid a glowg tribute to the dead soldiers of a lost cause, ho? "On fame's eternal camping ground, Their silent tents are spread." After Capt. Law's remarks, a salute of three illeys was tired, when the band played a requin, and the soldiers stacked arms to join in the icoration of the graves. The graves of all kliers received a floral tribute alike?those ho fell for the "Lost Cause," as well as the Hleral soldiers who sleep in the same cemetery. After the decoration of the graves in this ceinrv was concluded, the soldiers fell in line, and companied by ladies and citizens, repaired to o "old grave yard," near the Female College, here also repose a number of Confederate solers, and veterans of other wars.

Chester, May 13.?A meeting of the dictors of the Agricultural, Mechanical and orticultural Association of Chester, York, incaster and Fairfield was held at this nee on last Tuesday. The premiums in e horse and cattle departments were eatly increased. This will have the effect encouraging the exhibition of fine stock, ie silver plate premiums were changed to oney in every department with the excepm of the machinery department, in which e premiums will consist for the most part medals. The amount of money spent in emiums at the next Chester Fair will be nsiderably greater than ever before. The following resolution was passed by e directors: Resolved, That the associated counties be reested to raise ?100 or more each to be ottered as >remium for the largest and best exhibit of the tural resources and products of each county : the New Orleans Exposition?the same to be hibited at the Chester Fair and State Fair here being forwarded to New Orleans, and the ;e-president of the several counties be and are reby authorized to take subscriptions, collect 3 money for said purpose, and forward it to the retary of the association, rhe vice-presidents appointed to carry t this resolution were Col.

During the interval it will undergo such repairs as are needed. The President will urge on the directors the adoption of some important changes in regard to the machinery. The | company is barreling its oil, and will hold . for higher prices, as the market is now dull. The oil mill is turning out very fine cotton seed cake, which meets with a ready sale ' here and elsewhere. The Superintendent recently sent some specimens of it to a party in New York for inspection. Prof. Green, an instructor in the Brainard Institute at this place, will be a competitor for the premium for the largest and best 1 exhibit of the natural resources and products of the counties of Chester, York, Lan1 caster and Fairfield ; this exhibit as already mentioned, is intended for the New Or1 leans Exposition. 1 Mr. C. W. Winn will begin work on the Bnntist Church at this rdncp as ?r>r?n the brick can be made, wfien finished, it will have a seating capacity of 335 persons, the auditory containing 275, and the lecture room GO, which on an emergency can be thrown into one room. A sufficient amount of money to complete the church has not yet been raised. Churches and individuals liberally disposed have a good opportunity for the exercise of their liberality. Hilton Clyburn, Richard Belk, and Simon Hammond, all colored, were brought before United States Commissioner Galbraith last Friday, charged with rescuing Robert Ballard, colored, a prisoner in the hands of Deputy Marshals J. J. Pearson, Thomas Pearson, and William Mittag, at Lancaster, in September, 1882. Besides the prisoners there were two others concerned in the res1 cue?Possum Thompson, colored, who made 1 his escape on Thursaav at Lancaster before being arrested, and James Carter, white, 1 who will be principal witness for the Government. The facts are briefly these: Robert Ballard, charged with selling intoxicating liquors in violation of law, was arrested, and while the deputy marshals were taking him to jail, they were fired upon by ; a party secreted under a church. The mar' shals, thinking their own lives to be in dan' ger,fled, leaving their prisoner to take care of himself. This he was only too glad to do, ' as he left Lancaster at once. He has not ( been arrested, though he is believed to be ' in the vicinity of Rock Hill. Detectives 1 have been working up the case for a long time, and it is only within the pastfewdays ' that they have been able to secure such tesi timony as justified the arrest of the prisoni ers named above. They were arrested in Lancaster on Thursday by Deputy Marshal Pearson, and brought to Chester next day. A preliminary hearing was appointed to be , had in Yorkville. i I spent the greater portion of one day last week at Blackstock, and was very much pleased with my visit to that flourishing town. Mr. James Johnson has given out ( the contract for a brick store, which will be completed in the course of two or three i months. Dr. J. B. Bigham, who recently . graduated with distinction, in dentistry, at i the University of Maryland, has located, I for the present, at Blackstock. He was one r nf thf? mpmhprs of thp ora/1iiat5n<r nlocc that. r received honorable mention for the proflt ciency made by him in his dental studies. ? While in Blackstock I was the recipient of the hospitality of Mr. J. A. McCrory and 1 wife, wno, by the way, is a charming lady. Memorial day was celebrated in the usuj al way at this place. The procession, with 3 the Sandy River Band at the head, formed i } at the Presbyterian Church, and marched > thence to the cemetery under the command ! of Chief Marshal E. T. Atkinson. The cerr emonies at the ceinetary were opened with r prayer by Rev. George Summey. Then followed the address by the orator of the day, Mr. F. L. Whitlock. He paid a glow" ing tribute to the soldiers of the late war. ' The address was gracefully delivered and attentively heard. At the close of it, flow; ers were placed upon the graves of the dead ' heroes. Mrs. Jane Kimball, one of the oldest perl sons in our town, passed away at an early I hour on Sunday morning, in the 84th year ; of her age. The burial took place in the ? afternoon, at Purity Church grave yard, after the funeral services, which were con ducted at the residence by Rev. George % 1 Summey. ! On Sunday afternoon, the only child of > Mr. and Mrs. George Gage, died, after an > illness of a few days. She was a very smart, > attractive child. Intense sorrow fills the ! hearts of the bereaved parents, with whom 1 their friends deeply sympathize. 1 Intelligence was" received here on Saturday that a child of Mr. W. H. Brawley, 1 wlio once lived at this place, but now lives in Charleston, was dead. Mr. Brawley and wife are now traveling in Europe. Mr. Joseph Ehrlich, of this place, was ! married last night to Mrs.Gunn,of Lowrysville. Trial Justice Sims tied the matrimonial knot. m. MERE-MENTION. The American Medical Association convened in Annual session in Washington City last Thursday morning, over 500 members being present. Dr. Henry P. Campbell, of Augusta, Ga., was elected President. One hundred and seventeen bodies thus far have been recovered from the Pocahontas mine. There are 177 applications for divorce to come before the May term of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which opened in Boston last Friday morning, and all but thirty two of them are ' uncontested. Ben. Butler says he favors pensioning all soldiers of the late war, regardless of the side on which they fought. The Mexican government has appropriated $200,000 for an exhibit of that country's products at the New Orleans exposition. It is said the display will be a magnificent one. The New York Tele?ram of Saturday says that a memorial has een set on foot by Jay Gould and other friends of General Grant to raise a fund with which to repair the General's recent losses. By the wreck of the steamship State of Florida, in mid-ocean, on Tuesday of last, 135 persons perished. Forty-four of the passengers and crew were rescued by a passing vessel and landed at Quebec. A bill legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister has passed the British House of Commons by a vote of 238 to 127. The fire losses for April in the United States and Canada were $10,300,000.
