From the Cheraw Gazette.

There was report current on Friday and
Saturday, which has no doubt spread in the
country, that there was a case of Small Pox
IN Cheraw. There was no foundation for it.
We would caution our citizens against
giving credit or currency to such reports,
until they have first made enquiry of some
member OF the Board of Health. By doing
so, they spread alarm in the country, and do
INJURY to the business of the town. The
public IN both town and country may be as.
sured that, if the disease should be intro.
duced among US, the Board of Health will
immediately give public notice of the fact.
We have not heard of the Small Pox con.
tnuing to spread in Marlborough District
We learn that the number of families to
which 1t has been communicated is eight.
No case OF It is ON or below the stage road.

denied TO both Of them, aud the election sent back
to the People OF the District. We predicted, before
II happened, that Mr.. Graham would be voted out

"R,solrcd, That James Graham is not entitled
10 a sea, IA tins House, and that David NcwIand

The very wording OF this resolution, satisfies us
that the Committee intended that the vote which
should Gust Mr.. Graham, should install Mr., New.
hand In the vacated scat This is further proven
by the circumstance that various attempts we're
made TO alter aud amend the resolution as it came
from the Committee all OF which failed. The on.
Is rcsoursc then left the friends of Mr.. Graham
and of Justice, TO divide the resolution, so as
to take separate votes upon It's two Propositions
This was accordingly done, and the vote upon
each will exhibit the fact that though a sufficient
number OF The party could be found to turn Mr..
Graham out, they did not make their calculations
with the requisite precision as TO turning his OPP
ponent in. The first branch of the resolution, de.
claring that James Graham is not entitled to
seat in this House" was agreed to by vote of III
