The Itesult or Eight Day?1 Work Congrestman Wallace ?ad Colonel nierrlll Utterly Break Down-No Proof of Ka-K lax I tra-Energetic Action or the Jury. The grand jury of York County have thor? oughly investigated the circumstances con? nected with the alleged Eu-Kluz outrages, and devoted eight days of their time to the subject. Upon the testimony elicited some few persons have been presented for indict? ment, in pursuance of which, on motion of | Solicitor Brawler, the following order was | made : It is ordered that the clerk of the court do issue bench warrants for the arrest of all par? ties charged therein with the commission of j crime and misdemeanors, and also for the ai? rest of all witnesses named therein, s nd that said clerk do bind over said witnesses to ap? pear at the next term of this court; that the 8heriffof York County do proceed to execute said warrants, and if the parties therein named have fled from or reside beyond the limits of this county, that the bench warrants for them or any of them be forwarded to the sheriffs of any and every county in this State where such persons reside or may be found. The presentment as published in the York ville Enquirer, so far as it relates to the Ku Elux, is as follows : lu reference to the special charge of your Honor, relating to information furnished Hon. ^John Scott, chairman of Congressional inves? tigating committee, relative to outrages said to have been recently committed in this coun? ty br organized bands of men, we report Mat we have given the matters therein mentioned nu investigation, occupying over a week's time ol our present session. The charges ol' violence emanated, it ls ?aid, from Hon. A. S. Wallace and Colonel Lewis Merrill, command mandant of this post. Your grand jury bad these persons summoned before them, and found, upon examination, that neiiAer of tliem teere able to state any facts from individual knowledge. The Hun. A. S. Wallace stated that he had reported a school-house burned In Fairfield County, but gave no information as to a school house having been burned in York County; and if such a crime has been commute*! any? where in the county we have failed to obtain the slightest evidence of the fact, even by hearsay or otherwise, from a large number ot witnesses examined, representing all sections o? the county. Colonel Merrill furnished your grand Jury with the names of a large number o? witness? es, whom, lt was state.1, could give us the requisite Information as to the outrages and violence asserted In the communication o? Senator Scott to the President to have been cfinmlued in this county. The witnesses named were summoned, and all whom the sheriff was able to serve attended and gave their evidence. From that evidence we have been able to gather the following facts: 1. A school-house In Bethel township was pulled down about a year since, by parties un? known to any of the witnesses. It has been p illed or thrown down twice since that time, oy parties unknown to the witnesses. From the testimony taken, we arrive at the conclu? sion that the misdemeanor was the result ot ri? valry between factions of two rival teachers, who had solicited the occupancy of the build-, lng from the school trustees. 2. lu Di.liock'o Creek township, on the ninth of September, instant, three men passed by the house of one W. J. Wilson and tired orr ? pis? tol, and used boisterous and profane language. ?. They were not disguised; and Mr. Wilson recog Pnized. by the sound ol meir voices, two oct ot the three persons-Mack Sandlin and Sherrod ?Childers. We herewith present the said Mack Sandlin and Sherrod Childers for riot, and sug? gest that proper proceedings be commenced against them by the solicitor ot the circuit. 3. Two colored persona-Wash Coulter and Abram Choat-state that a short lime since several persons came to their house In disguise and chunked them. No other testimony could be furnished by them as to this affair, and they could not distinguish the persons of any of Hie party alleged to have assaulted them. 4. Some time in August last, one Neal Glenn (colored) was assaulted at his house by Giles Crawford and George Leslie, (colored) who called him out of his residence and com- j milted a battery upon brm and cut him twice with a knife. A warrant of arrest was sued out against the offenders, but they had fled L. into Non h Carolina before lt could be ex- ' ecuied. Thi3 affair was reported tons asa Ku-Klux vuirage of aggravated violence. These are the only acts of the violation of 11 the peace of which we have been able to obtain '1 ana ?vidence, as having occurred since the /?rs? of July last. Several acts of violence, accompanied by crime, ate leporied aa having occurred in the early part ot ihe year. Among these there was a rutd made upon the office ot the county ! treasurer, one E. M. Rose, on the 26th of Feb- ' mary last. One James B. Porter, who was ' present, represents that there were a number ! of persons in disguise engaged In the raid; 1 that a whipping was administered lo him, and j that he recognized by their voices and man ners Lawson Armstrong and Pinckney Cald? well, citizens ol this county, as members of E the party. We herewith present the same J for the action of the law officer of the court. ' None others of the parly have been recog- ( nlzed. Some damage to the building occurred; a quantity ot liquor belonging to D. S. Russell & Co. wan destroyed; but so far as we can ascertain, the funds ot ihe office were not in? terfered w.th. One Henry Latham (colored) represents that he was whipped at some period of the present year by a number of persona of whom he re? cognized three, viz : tf. A. Black, James Sher rer and Dock Sherrer. He recognized Black, because ^e is left handed, and the man who whipped ulm was a left-handed man. He knew Sherrer by the first finger of ihe right band being off. We present the said persons for in? dictment upon the testimony of the witness above named. a.??e call ihe altention of the solicitor to evi? dence herewith appended, relative to the mur? der of one Anderson Brown, in January last We do not regard the evidence of Wesley Thom asson-the only Important witness-os suffici? ently definite to warrant us in presenting at present, for prosecution, the names of any parties. Your grand Jury bave also inquired into the murder ot one Jim Williams (colored,) occur? ring In March last. Such evidence as we have been able to discover in this case is herewith appended, lor the information of the civil offi? cers of the State. We do not regard it as suf? ficiently definite to authorize any special pre? sentment from us. We have also examined such witnesses as we could obtain, or whose names were repoit ed, in reference to a homicide commuted upon ihe body of Thomas Roundtree, (color? ed,) in the fall of 1870. Three witnesses sum? moned in this case are reported absent, and were not served with summons. Such evi? dence as we have been able to obtain ls here? with appended for any future use. We re? gard it as insufficient for the purposes of mak? ing a special presentment. From evidence taken and appended, we pre? sent Isom Buchanan, (colored,) for arson, in the burning ot the barn of one Hiram Thomas son, in this county, In January last, upon the evidence of Anthony Blalock and Eveline Bla lock. The evidence also Implicates other par? ties in the crime, but we do not regard lt as sufficient to warrant any special presentment from us. Evidence in other cases of misdemeanor has been sought for, and some of a contradictory and uncertain character presented. Your grand Jury have simply appended the evidence taken in all such cases reported, for the future use ot the civil officers of the State. Information was furnished the grand Jury by Major Merrill to the effect that six persons bad recently been whipped in the southeast? ern part of this county. After a careful ex? amination of the facts, we ascertain Uiat no such outrage occurred in this county. The Officer alluded to as making the report ex? presses himself as satisfied as to his mistake, arid proffers to correct any erroneous report of the affair lhat may have emanated from bim. Ali cf which is respectfully submitted. A. E. HUTCHISON, Foreman. -Abbeville cries aloud lor a national bank, andTt ought to have one, as the town is evi? dently flourishing. BARMECIDES. [From tue Loa loa Graphic] There are few of us who have not had the experience of a Barmecide feast some time in our lives; who have not known what It was to be invited to an apparently substantial repast, to find when the covers were removed that the thing was a mere sham-that no strong meats smoked on the cold and empty board, no fruits gave sweetness and pleasantness and the pertection of finish to the nobler and more important tood, no wine gladdened the heart and brightened the eye, nut that it was all only a name, a pretence, a make-believe, a Barmecide least, feeding and refreshing no one. How many marriages are Barmecide feasts, think you ? Promises of love and loveliness and tender sympathies that are never fulfilled; promises of sweetness and good temper that lade away into nothing, like a golden cloud at sunrise; promises of contented happiness and ecstatic joy that are as real as the spark? ling wine, the luxurious fruits, ot the Barme? cide's table. She has lair hair and blue eyes, a trim waist and arched Instep, small hands, and half-moons to her filbert-snaped nails. Sbe smiles when you speak to her, and has a ready blush; and she looks shamefaced and pretty when she blushes. She is not opinionated, and she glances continually at mamma when she talks, and seldom looks you tull in the face. She ls just eighteen, and you adore her. You see tn her the outline of every nobleness, of every virtue, that a woman can possess. You grant that as yet, by reason of her youth, all these graces are only potential, not ac? tive; but you believe, nevertheless, and belief for the time does as well as proof; and you marry your angel, never thinking that she will prove your Barmecide. Time goes on. The bride becomes the wife, the girl the woman. The nature which was no more set or consoli? dated when you concluded that it held the germ of every virtue under heaven, than ls a hazel nut in June, slowly develops itself In Its owu way. The virgin timidity which so en? chanted you, becomes matronly indecision, and a mental weakness of will bordering on Imbecility; or it crystallizes Into a narrow posi? tiveness, so that you might as well try to melt the snows of Mont Blanc as bend or mellow it. The ready blush which once betokened such sweet sensibility hardens Into callous opposi? tion, or deepens into passionate irritation; the girl you loved and the woman you have mar? ried, are as different as is the Olympian Hebe from an apple-woman In the street; the prom? ise by which you were taken prisoner was but a Barmecide feast, and you sit at the banquet of your marriage with empty dishes and long? ing eyes, pondering and regretting. You make a new friend. You have had good friends in your lifetime, but you have never had one equal to this for fervor ot affection, lavishness of demonstration, affluence of prom? ise. You have been a self-sustaining kind ol' person hitherto, but perhaps you have been hardly hit ot late, wounded in the fight, wrung in the withers, and your new trlend with his offers of help comes in opportunely. Rest on me, he eays, with lnnnite generosity and aa expansive manner; and you lake him at his word. You do rest ou him. Perhaps it ls no great favor after all that you ask of him; be that as it may, you ask something. Your trlend, who has offered all and promised every? thing, proves of ihe Barmecide class when put io the proof. He fails you utterly In the sim? plest as in the most Important matter. He In? vited you to sit at his table and nourish your? self on the strong meats he had in store; but when you lilted the covers you beheld nothing? ness, and jon were fain to content yourself with empty dishes and unsatisfied desires. K?; can do nothing tor you. It may be will, or lt maybe power, that fails him; either be has miscalculated hts influence with others, or he haa exaggerated his unselfish Interest In you. Whatever the cause, there ls the result; the staff you lent on isa broken reed, and the rich badquet of active friendship to which your host invited you is a sham wherein Iles no crumb of comfort or support. Barmecidal, too, are many books. They open with a tine flourish, promising instruc? tion or entertainment according to the plan on which they are construed. You alt down lo your intellectual banquet full of cheerful hope; but you find nothing set forth for your suste? nance. Your spirit-stirring melody turns out to be a meaningless word echoing through a deserted palace-a feast ot empty covers, giv? ing no food whereby your soul can be nourish? ed and made strong. The entertaining story that began with the sparkle of a well-packed rocket, ends in the dreary descent of a charred stick. The treatise that prefaces its essential remaiksby a sweeping assertion respecting the utter worthlessness ol every other work that bas hitherto been published on the subject, ? prepares you for new lights on a dark matter, md a straight cut out of a tangled jungle. But you find as you go deeper and tare lurther that your auihor knows no more of the matter in band t: an the most pntiquated of his prede? cessors. He has no new light; he makes no new cut, short or long; he ts the showman ot i dissolving view, the Amphytrion of a Barme- 1 :lde least; and you are really the poorer for ' rotir lost faiih, and the time wasted in a hope ' -bat had no fulfilment for its answer. And as with books, so with certain natures. ! fou are acquainted with people who, you are 1 iure, would exactly ault such and such posl- j lions, do such and such work, perform auch ind such (.Jtles. You use all your influence, ind you place them where you tnlnk them just 1 ii ted. square pegs in square holes, and round >egs In round holes. But here, too. your least 1 las been Barmecidal, and your proteges, Irora ? vhorj while still uutrled you boped so much, ire quite emptj dishes when disclosed. The jower of mind, the quickness of perception, i he business facility, the very moral rectitude < >n which you had counted, aud for which you | md refused others, are myths; and you realize ? i disappointment where others suffer as well i is yourself. How many lallnres of thia kind | he world has io count ! How many lost lead? ers ot thought and progress, so brilliant in heir promise, so disappointing in their result, lave been just Barmecides, with whom ls no ' ood of life, no sustaining element! Again, how 1 >ften we find our own work, our so-called good ' brtune, Barmecidal. We have something given 1 is that we fondly believe will make aman of us, low on the spot. We have long been in iroubled waters; surely the tide will turn now 1 -the currents run smooth-and our i.issed ind damaged ship come into safe harbor at ' asl! surely our hunger will be appeased at the banquet lo which we are bidden, and we shall ' <now the meaning and the savour of good ? hing*! We accept ihe situation offered, and ! we find it richer in promise than fulfilment. ' [t ls a Barmecidal (east, and we starve at the able which assumed to be a table ot plenty. ' The editorship which was to be such inalgnifi- ' :ant work and such princely pay-well, that 1 tutorship! The adjectives and nouns have ! >een strangely Jumbled somehow, and we (ind ' t on ihe trial to be such very poor pay and 1 mch a very great ?Seal of work, that we caa ( ?elther make up by a supplement nor ! Ive on the original. That station out in 1 Urica-lt was to have all sorts of valu- j ible contingencies, and the climate was exceptionally healthy. When we get there J ve find a swamp where the population is deci- j nated by yellow fever, and the valuable con- \ ingencles resolve themselves into native j rading-buying Ivory, for which there is no j narket, by consignments of second-hand :lothe8, which the noble savage will not wear. 1 ill sorts of appointments are in like manuer ? barmecidal; aud often when the world con? gratulates a man on his good luck, and as- , mmes that his fortune is made off hand, the 1 ruth is that ihe whole thing is a sham and a 1 iretence, that there ia no good luck in the . natter, but, on the contrary, bad, seeing that bis dead body of a thing, this Barmecidal rhost, stops the way against something bet- : er and mure sincere.

The administering of the Holy Communion, which wa s most solemn and affecting, occu? pied more than an hour. The bishops par? took first, then the clerical and lay deputies, and then the congregation generally. The services terminated with the singing ot the Gloria ta Excelsis by the whole congrega? tion. Introducing the Foreign Bishops. Public worship having been c included, Bishop Smith, the presiding bishop, arose and remarked that In times past lt bad been a great gratification to have a colonial bishop Qt the motlier country at the general conven? tions of the church In the United States, as we have now, but this ls the first occasion that in active bishop and a beneficed clergyman have been able io break away from their ardu sus dulles and be present among us. I now have the pleasure of Introducing to you his lordship the bishop of Litchfield, the bishop of Sassau, and the dean ot Chester. The convention rose to Us teet In acknowl? edgment ot the introduction as the reverend gentlemen were presented. Retlrcmemt of the Bishops. The bishopsihen retired to the basement of he church, where they disrobed, and were :alled to order by Right Reverend Benjamin Bosworth Smith, D. D., of Kentucky, the pre? siding bishop. A resolution was then passed that they proceed to Grace Church In a body for the purpose of organization. ihr House of Deputies. Rev. Dr. Perry, the secretary of the last general convention, then called the house of clerical and lay deputies to order, and request id the delegates to send un their testimonials if election. The roll ot delegates was then called, and a quorum having been ascertained io be present, the secretary declared the bouse ready to proceed to business. The first business in order being the election j jf president, the Rev. Dr. Meade nominated ihe Rev. Dr. Craik, ot Kentucky, oresldent of he last house. The ballot was dispensed with, lad Dr. Craik was declared elected president, ind was conducted to the chair by Dr. Halght, )f New York, and Judge Otis, of Illinois. On assuming the chair Dr. Craik thanked the i louse for this renewed expression of its confi lence and of its willingness to bear once mere ?vith his infirmities, and with their encourage neut and help he trusted so to act as to merit .heir continued approbation. Much alarm and ?neasiness had been manifested in certain piarters about the results to flow from the it-liberations of this convention, but knowing hose who were here os well as he did, he had iot entertained those fears. It they were lovices, if they had never felt the waves rock he grand old ship, If they were nervous peo jle, there might be cause for alarm ; bul you ire churchmen all long tried, and have never ; leen found warning. You will take the Mirden faithfully, you will come up to the neasure ol' all that ia required of YOU; and 1 nay the God of our lathers guide and 1 itrengthen you in your work. The Rev. Dr. Meade then nominated for re? fection as secretary of the convention the ! lev. Dr. Perry, and the ballot being dicpensed villi. Dr. Perry was declared elected secretary. Dr. Halght, of New York, iheu arose aud re erred to the presence at the services of a HShop of our mother church. The noble ?haracter of the Lord Bishop of Litchfield has )een a matter of record for a quarter ot a cen ;nry. His zeal iu administering the mission try diocese ot New Zealand had been tiuexam jled. His untiring and effective labors lor the church had given to the name ot Selwyn an lonor that was world-wide. This noble man lad lett his home and duties lor the express lurpose ot being present at this convention, ind it was but proper that this convention should do honor to him. Dr. H. then offered .esolutlons expressing the great gratification )f this house at the presence ol' the Lord Bishop of Litchfield and the Bishop of Nassau ! it the opeuing services of the General Conven ion ot Hie Church; that this house do formally receive the Lord Bishop of Litchfield and the Bishop of Nassau at such time as may be most icceptable to them, and that a committee of four clerical and four lay deputies be appoint ?d to convey the wishes ot the house to the reverend prelates. Rev. Dr. Leeds suggested that there were Jther members of the clergyof England ac? companying his lordship, and that the resolu? tion be amended to include them. He also said that the lord bishop would be able to re? main but a few days, that ll would be a rare treat lo hear him, and he suggested that his lordship be invited to address the conrention. Dr. Halght accepted the suggestions of Dr. Leeds and modified Us resolutions according? ly, and the chair appointed the following as the committee : Rev. Drs. Leeds, Vinton, Ly? man and Elliott, anc Messrs. Brune, Ives, Sch?nberger and Welsl. On motion of Judgs Otis, of Illinois, the president was authorized to appoint the usual standing committees. A messaue was he? received from the House of Bishops, annomctng Its organization by the election of Bev. H. C. Potter as secre? tary, and its readiness to proceed to business. The rules of order ot the last convention were adopted until otherwise ordered. Hon. S. B. Buggies of New York, gave no? tice that he intendel to offer an additional rule, that wl.ju the House of Bishops sent the nomination of an asslilont bishop this house should sit with closed doors. The committee apporued to walt upon the Lord Bishop of Litchfield and the clergy of the Church of England accompanying him, re? turned. Dr. Leeds Infirmed the nouse that the committee had waited upon the Lord Bishop of Litchfield and Bishop of Nassau, and communicated the resolutions passed by the house. To-morrow, at 12 o'clock, the two bishops, with the very reverend the Dean of Chester, and the other representative, will be present in the house. His lordship Informed the committee that he hid no time to properly prepare an address to tte house for to-niaht, but would preach a sermon before them on Monday night. On motion of Dr. Meade, lt was then re? solved that on Thursday st 12 o'clock the house will receive the bishop and his attendant clergymen, and on Monday, at half-past 7 o'clock P. M., will meet in Emanuel Church to hear his sermon. The house then, at 3.30 P. BL, adjourned. The Consecra! ton Of Bishop Howe. BALTIMORE, October 6.

We say murderer, because, from all the Infor? mation we have been able to gather In refer? ence to the case, lt was a wutul and deliberate murder, without a bingle mitigating circum? stance. Bethney made lils escape immediately, and has not since been seen. He ls a mere boy, only seventeen years of age, and has been In this country about two years. He came from Mississippi, and, In all probability, is working his way to that State. The facts elicited by the Jury of Inquest, were substantially the same as those given by us last week. Imme? diately arter the close of the inquest. Trial Justice Brawley Issued a warrant lor the ar? rest of Bethney, and placed lt in the hands ol' Messrs. T. N. Bennett and T. M. Sanders for execution.

SEWARD'S RETURX FR03I HIS TOUR ROURD THE WORLD. Mayor Hall Liming lils Senses-Wast, the Wonderful < n ric n t u ri g 1- .Tad ge Barnard In a New Role-The Negroes In Opposition to Greeley-A Shabby "Fete Champ?tre,1' [PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, October 4. The arrival of Mr. Seward from his voyage round the world ls duly chronicled this morn? ing. He came over In the same steamer with the-emlnent Dr. Selwyn, Bishop ot Litchfield, In England, and Commodore Ashbury, the rep? resentative of the English yacht clubs. Mr. Seward looks bright, bis face has lost none of its ruddiness, and bis mind is as clear as ever, but he ls a physical wreck. He is weak In the legs, and his arms are so badly paralyzed that he has to be fed by his attendants. And yet the plucky old politician, though just back from a fairney seldom undertaken by young and vigorous men, contemplates ano;ber long voyage down the South American coast as far as Cape Horn. The nature of his malady is such that he is better while on the wing than resting at Auburn. He sojourns a few days at tbe seat of his nephew on the Hudson, and then goes home to Auburn for a short stay. Mayor Hall began a raid on obnoxious news? papers last Saturday. It is now reported that he la going to do the foolish thin; of trying to suppress Harper's paper, which publishes those terrible caricatures, oy Nast, of his Honor and the other members of the ring. The paper in question, under the management of George William Curtis, ls about as unfair and bigoted os a Radical sheet could well be, but Mr. Hall would only proclaim his own sensitiveness and advertise his revilers by at? tempting to suppress lt as "libellous and Inde? cent." It waa a clever stroke of policy on the part of the Radicals in hiring the pencil of Thomas Nast. He is the greatest ol' American carica? turists, and some of bis work is really won? derful. Leech is the only modern English artist who could be com;...red with him, but Leech's satire vas good humored, while Nast's ls malignant. His personal feel? ings enter Into the pictorial war on Tammany. He held a sinecure position In the city, from which he was removed some time since. He bas avenged himself fearfully, tor he has made the whole country familiar with distort? ed representations of the four men most prominent in city politic.-; Sweeny, with his nair awry. Connolly sleek and rubicund, Hall with those dreadful uoggles on his eyes, and Tweed with an enormous paunch, a blazing diamond in his shirt front, and a face In which cunning is legible in every wrinkle. Going Into thousands of families, these caricatures arc so many weekly sermons against the men who cut off Nast's raflons at the comptroller's office. Judge Barnard has certainly taken a "new departure." His open affiliation with a great railroad corporation here laid him under the ban for a long time, and when Parton and John Quincy Adams's clever brother Henry wrote notable articles for the reviews on the corrupt Judiciary of New York everybody knew that it was Barnard whom their shads were principally aimed at. The Judge, ot course, resented the imputations with a great deal ot vehemence, and was not without de? fenders among the purest of his brethren at the bar. Ever since the municipal troubles, however, he has taken such high grounds in favor of official purity that he has won the re? luctant commendation even of the Times, which hos been bis bitterest newspaper enemy. His charge to the grand jury yesterday ls the most vigorous pronunciamento against rascal? ity and corruption In every shape that we have ever had from the bench in this city. He de? clared his intention to break up the usuren?, the emigrant swindles, the baggage smashers, the publishers and sellers ot Indecent news ?apera, the violators of the liquor law, the olders ol sinecure offices In the municipal departments, and the repeaters at election?. He promised to keep open court on election day, sitting os a magistrate to Issue warrants for the arrest of Illegal voters. As to the sine? curist, Judge Barnard expressed the extraor? dinary opinion that "nearly all the fast horses and last women In the City of New York are supported out of the city treasury." These leeches are quite as much ot' Fepubllcan oe Democratic origin, tor at least half of them have been hanging on to the treasury ever since the time 01 the Republican commissions. They will be rather astonished if they lind they will have to go to work for a living. A curious feature of the war between the Radical factions in this city ls the bitter oppo? sition of the negroes to the Greeley wing. The negroes are clannish here as they are else? where, and have an unaccountable way ol' going together in a body In political malters, and generally of consorting with the worst white reen they can find. In New York they side en masse with the corrupt customhouse gang led by Tom Murphy in the interest of tirant. Last evening they had a meeting tn one of the assembly districts for the express purpose of vituperating Horace Greeley, the founder ol the parly which they claim so much affection for. It was enodgh that be hated Murphy, and despised Grant, to justify them, according to their Ideas, in bating and de? spising him. Rev. Dr. Garnett, the great col? ored light in theological matters, made a speech. In which he used so many profane ex? pressions about H. O. that another reverend brother bolted with his lingers In his ears. Some enterprising (?) genius has g?lten up what he calls a "Fete Champ?tre," at West Flushing, Long Island, near the city, and has advertised It extensively in the newspapers and on the lences. He inveigled the ladies connected willi the Union Home and School for Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans Into an en? dorsement ot the scheme, on a promise ot a division of the proceeds. The festivities, which are to continue two weeks, are rather unique. Leslie, the successor of Blond?n, performs on the tight rope, a Senoretta Cosetta dances in costume, a battery of the First Division N. G. N. Y. S. fires a salute, and then there are a drumming match, a four mile walking match, a hopping match one mile against time, a horse race, and'cavalry and infantry evolutions by the militia. Notwithstanding the manifold at? tractions, the fetes have been a failure so far. The audience on the first day consisted of only filly gaping rustics. NYM. THE CHARLOTTE ARD AUGUSTA RAIL' ROAD. [From the Chester Reporter.] It ls doubtless known to our readers that an association of capitalists have been lor some time engaged in buying up the capital stock of this road. They have succeeded in securing stock enough to give them a controlling influ? ence in its management, and at a recent meet? ing ol' the directors, Mr. W. T. Walters, of Baltimore, the representative of the said ring, was elected a director. It is understood that lhere will soon be a complete change in the administration of the road, the new s.ockhold ers having it in their power to call a meeting and make a new election at any time. Ches? ter certainly has no cause to be opposed to the change. THE WEATHER ARD TUE CROPS. Greenville. The Mountaineer ol Wendeaday says: "In conversing with intelligent gentlemen from the country, we ure convinced that Greenville County will not realize more than halt a crop, and may be less." York. The Enquirer ot Wednesday says: "We have been informed that during the past week frost has been observed la several sections of this county, in the vicinity ot streams and on the low lands. Vegetation, however, has been but little Injured, although the visit ls about ten days earlier in the season than usual." Abbeville. The Press of Wednesday says: "The crops are turning out rather belier than was expect? ed some lime since. The corn crops are better than they were last year, and probably will be sufficient for our necessities. The cotton will be short, but with the prospect of good prices, and the lessened expenditure ol lost year, premises to give us a belter financial status In the future." THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS.

A pleasure yacht, the Jennie Lee, belong? ing to Mr. Jerrolds, of Colorado, was burned to the water's edge lu Long Island bound last night. A nurse and an infant of Jerrold's were burned to death. The fire was caused by upsetting a kerosene lamp. TEE GREAT FIRE ON THE PRAIRIES. ST. PAC?., MINN.. October 6? The great prairie fire is unabated. Its course is southeast, towards Java and the Minnesota Rivers. The losses are confined principally to houses, barns, fences, wheat and live stock. Only two lives are known to have been lost. Many small towns have been completely de? stroyed. A TERRIBLE DROUGHT. CHICAGO, October 6. The drought now prevailing In the West bas not been equalled within twenty-five rears. All through central and southern Illinois the wei is and small farms are completely dried up, and the Inhabitants find great difficulty in ob? taining sufficient water for household pur? poses and the stock.

THE MORMONS IN COUNCIL. Brigham Yoong on the Rampage. SALT LAKE, October 6. A special conference took ptace at the Tab? ernacle yesterday. Eight thousand Mormons were present. The Federal officials were bit? terly denounced. Brigham was excited, and proved for curses on the Federal officials. He salo, "Trust lu God and keep your powder dry. Don't fall to have on hand a supply of < fixed ammunition." The regular semi-annual rcout'erence begins to-day. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, October 6. The Presld ?nt h na returned. The Som . olalms Commission will ap? point no mor . special commissioners to rake testimony In the South except a successor to the late Commissioner Blackman, In Mlstisslp pl. They also refuse to allow special commis? sioners In the South to receive testimony sup? porting any claim exceeding three thousand dollars; but lt the-^claims in excess of that amount be reduced, lt will bring them within the Jurisdiction of the resident commissioners, r-o further applications lor hearing testimony will be entertained tb ia year. THE GREAT CONUNDRUM, How Mach Cotton will be faade thia Year. The Montgomery Advertiser, replying edito? rially to an inquiring correspondent, says : The conclusion forced upon us by the tacts may be stated In a few words, viz : that the cotton crop of this year will bear about the same proportion to the crop of last year that eleven bears to twenty, and that the grand ag eregate will not exceed 2,420,000 bales. If the cotton receipts at Macon, Columbus and Montgomery could be regarded os accu? rate indices to the extent of the Incom? ing crop, our estimate of 2,420,000 bales would have to "roost a little lower." But the crops ot Arkansas and Texas are a shade bet? ter than ours, and we have put that fact in the balance as a counterpoise to the inference growing out ol the manifest failure ol the Ala? bama and Georgia fields to produce thus far fifty per cent, of"the cotton in 1871 that they yielded In 1870. If the general yield of the South averaged no more than Georgia and Alabama we should have an aggregate of 2.190.000 bales as the crop of 1871. But allow? ing 230,000 bales for the superior crone of more favored sections (over and above the average shown by ours) we have 2,420.000 bales or eleven this year where lhere were twenty last year. NEGRO DEBTS AGAIN. [From the Greenville Mountaineer.) At the lost term of the Court of Common Pleas tor this county, the question of negro debls was brought directly before the court. Suit had been brought upon a note, which was shown by the evidence to have been given In fart for the purchase money of a negro slave, n charging the Jury his Honor Judge Orr stated that when elected to office he had taken an oath to support the Constitution of this State; that a clause of that constitution ex? pressly forbade the collection of debts, the consideration of which was the purchase money of a slave or slaves; that In his opinion this clause waa not inconsistent with any portion I of the Constitution of the United States, which also be had sworn to support, and that, therefore, he was constrained by the oath which he had taken to charge them that they could not, consistently with law, find a verdict for that portion of the debt which was for a slave. He stated that be had a distin? guished preeedent In disregarding the late de? cision of the Supreme Court of this State de? claring such debts collectable. That Judge Earle, in the case of the State vs. McBride, and upon somewhat similar grounds, had refused to regard a decision of the then Supreme Court, and had been sustained by the remod? elled Supreme Court which heard the case on appeal. The Jury were out but a few minutes, and in their verdict ignored the negro part ol the debt. We do not know whether an appeal will be taken or not. Special Notires.
