is a pause Stocks do not sell because there are no

and the decline having eaten up their ample margins
they have been stripped bare. Their names being
generally unknown, they quietly retire from tue

sold a week ago at per cent, is now refused at j.
Even on call it is difficult to be had-ln short, those
who have the money do not choose to part With 1t

Byerly has been sentenced to two and half
years 10 the County Prison, and $500 fine, for max
ing false return by which Butler received his GER
tfcate Of election TO Congress in place of Lehman.
This righteous sentence will go far to break mp
some of the frauds which have been 80 long proc-
ticed by the ruling Democracy of MOyamensing.
In that district they have had full swing aud gov
erned il by organization of rOwdles who terrified
Wings and Republicans from the polls. When ma
orties failed elsewhere, Byerly's district was re-
lied upon TO supply the deficiency. Cheating be-
came chronic. But ON this occasion the cheat was
strange one Byery and Lehman are both Dem
ocIats the former for Breckenridge, the latter for
DOuglas. Yet Byerly cheated his cOnfrere cut of
Congress, and, 80 far as the certificate goes,
cheated Butler, Republican, in. As Byerly can
hardly write his own name there are concealed
parties who must have done the forging while By

ballots to be re-counted This done, and he shown

has been proved, he thinks with reason that another
may be shown up. 1t is said, moreover, that Gov.
Packer will not grant hun the certificate of cleo

pudiates litigation, and asks only for fair play all

South Carolina forbade negro emancipation In
Augutt last more hostile laws were enacted against
the free cOlored race, stimulated by John Browns
inroad, and the Subsequent symptoms of ulti-
mate Republican President Each free negro was
required to have a guardian, to whom he was

| badge bearing bis number. IL found without q
guardian he was sold publicly a slaves if he ne
| elected to procure the degrading badge, he was
| fined 800 aud if caught without it, he was fined
| and imprisoned. If the guardian proved to be a
dishonest man, he could sell him into perpetual
| slavery, after which, his property was liable to
seizure. The law not only regarded him as slave,
| but actually made him so. Its object must have
been TO reduce him To slavery, to drive him out
| of the State. The latter result has been accom-
pshed, for hundreds of free blacks have been leay-
ing for the North, and it is probable that all who
