A CARD FROM C. E. SPENCER, ESQ. To the Democratic Voters of York County In presenting myself again as a candidal for the Senate at the primary election order ed by your Executive Committee; to be hel< on Thursday, the 11th September, instant and after being advised that there would fo no other candidate except Dr. J. G. Black I have yielded my own personal disinclina tion to enter the race again to the earnest so licitations of quite a number of my.friends from various sections of the county, (som< . of them supporters of Maj. Hart and Gen Law,) who believe that at the recent primary I received a plurality of the Democratic vote of York county, and who insist that it is i duty devolving upon me to allow them, an< all others who may be of the same opinion an opportunity so to testify before thi people. In the investigation by the committer upon the various charges of irregularity made before them, I took no part whatever holding then, as i do now, tnat it was mei business to pursue their inquiry in thei own way. After sitting more than tw< day3, and hearing testimony upon thes< charges, the committee (standing 8 to 7 voted down a resolution to declare the elec tion for %e Senate according to the face o the returns, as the minutes will show. A resolution was then offered to declare saic election null and void, when, (at 4, o'clocl Thursday morning) at the request of Dr Black, as the minutes will show, action up on the motion was postponed until 10, A M., at which time Dr. Black proposed t new election to the committee, whicl proposition the committee accepted, th< result of which was simply to propound fo: your determination the question whici they themselyes did not answer, but which in justice to Dr. Black, they should hav< answered in his favor, despite his proposi tion for a new election, if they discoverec no irregularities which, in their judgment may have affected the result of the re cent election. But as the new election was ordered on his motion, certainly Dr. Blacl cannot and will not complain that they die not reach aconelusion upon the pending res olution. And as the Committee so acted without seeking my views upon the matter (for which I do not blame them at all) I now in justice to my friends(but withoutany re flection whatever upon the Committee, wh< I am sure, acted according to what thej deemed the best interest of the. party,) ap peal to you, the Democracy of York county to decide the question, whether the recenl election was so free from irregularities as not to affect ray chances for the nomination If you say that it was, then let Dr. Black be nominated; if you say not, then let youi votes show that in the future, primaries must be so conducted as to speak the will oi the Democracy of York county. And now ia conclusion, let me, as one o; your fellow citizens, indulge the hope thai the new election will be so conducted as tc be free from any suspicion of irregularities and that the result will be to name a candidate who will unquestionably represent t majority of the Democratic voters of York and receive the hearty suffrages of the entire party at the approaching general election. Respectfully, C. E. Spencer. Yorkville, S. C., Sept. 1,1884. A CARD FROM DR. BLACK. Editor Enquirer: To correct some misapprehensions in regard to the strength of the Democratic vote at Black's Station, I bef leave to refer the public to the returns frorr that precinct (the Boydton) in the electior of 1876, when I. D. Witherspoon received 321 Democratic votes and Hannibal White 78 votes for the Senate. These votes were honestly cast and honestly eounted. This shows a total vote of 399 votes cast there ir 1876, since which the village of Black's has grown up with a population of 420 souls and a voting strength of 83 voters. There are about 90 negro voters within the bounds a Black's Station precinct and 35 or 40 can always be depended upon to vote the Demo nratifi ticket in anv emergency. The raana gersof election at the recent primary electior at Black's Station precinctare honorable and high toned men, and incapable of fraud oi of permitting fraud to be committed in th< election. The contest of Black's Statior vote was conceived in personal spite towarc me on the part of W. Anderson and W. It Lipscomb. Resp'y., J. G. Black. MERE-MENTIOJi. Bersy Johnson colored, was hanged ai Shreveport, La., last Friday, for wife murder. He confessed the crime and also ad mitted having killed another colored womar four years ago.

The teleah reports that a number of negroes neai ,ula, Ala., who ate a hog that died from the effects of having been bitten by a mad dog last July, are now suffering with hydrophobia. Thirty-two negroes are thus affect ed, some of whom will die.".
