+" The STAY Law"

Meetings continue to be held throughout
the State OIL the subject of our financial diff
ficultcs. AS specimen, VIC give the follow
ing preamble and resolutions adopted at Chcs-
ter 9. H., on the 10th instant:
The committee appointed to prepare and
present matter for the consideration of this
meeting, beg leave to report by preamble and
resolutions, as follows:
Whereas, The late war has closed, leaving
the citizens of this District, and the South
generally, impoverished by the emancipation
Of their slaves and the destruction Of their
property, and most of our citizens are involved
in debt not perhaps beyond their ability to
pay, if given some reasonable indulgence. And
Whereas, The protection afforded debtors
by the law, commonly known as the Stay
Law" has been removed by tho action Of the
highest judicial tribunal of this State there
fore,
Rcsolvcd, That We, the people of Chester
District, determined to abide like good citizens
by the laws of the land, but profoundly i'm
pressed with the hardships, confusion and dis
turbances that must necessarily result from the
snort notice as may now be done, do respect
fully suggest to tho Governor, and through
him to the Legislature of the State, that some
measures be taken at once, to arrest if possible
the general and indscriminate sacrifice of prop
crty at public sales.
Resol0ca, That we do earnestly recommend
and would forcibly impress upon tho minds
of the citizens of our District, both debtors
and creditors, that they meet in spirit of
accommodation and forbcarancc- debtors
paying as they may become able by the prac-
tlce of industry and economy, aud the cred
ltors giving such reasonable indulgcnccs as
may be compatible with their pressing ncces-
sities-frmly believing that the true inter
csts of both parties will thus be most surely
reached"

soyen bushels of corn to each person in the
District. Without feeding any portion of this
to the stock, the supply was inadequate to
bread the people Othor districts arc nearly
as destitute. In Pickens, I am Informed that
some 500 families arc without sufficient sup
plies of brcadstuffs. The scarcity is plso great
in Barnwell Beaufort, Colleton, Clarendon,
Williamsburg,,SL Lexington, Spartanburg, Lar-
caster, Richland, Fairfield aud Kcrshaw, and
the local authorities cannot possibly furnish
the needy. Tho tax levied. for the support of
the poor is district tax, apd it happens that
in those sections where the scarcity is most
felt the general population arc least able to
pay local tax, and hence there arothousands
in the State, white aud colorcd, who must
suffer for tho colnmoucst means Of subsistence
unless rations are issued from your Bureau,
and regret extremely that any opinion Of
mine should have been so understood rs to
justify or require tho suspension of the issue
of tho rations which it was proposed to dstri-
butte in this State. My object and intention
was simrly to guard against the issue to per-
sons without claim, and thereby increase idle
ness and vagahanaism. Doubtless did not
sufficiently e$aIain my views, and Gen. Sick
les was justifbvAip reaching the conclusion he
did. a month ago 1t was generally believed
that about the time of the wheat harvest an
average crop would be made, but since the
crop has been thrashed out it is found not to
exceed half ain aseragc crop, and far less re-
lief will be furnished the needy from that
source than | had anticipated. l therefore
earnestly request that you will have the ra-
tons issued as estimated for by your agents
in the State, and which was disapproved by
Gen. Sickles. Proper instructions to distrb.
utng agents may be- if they have not already
hccn, given, to guard against imposition from
those who arc not proper subjects ofrelef. /
have written to-day to Gen. Sicklcs, and have
explained to him the extent to which | in
tended my conversation to 20.

General: have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt Of your letter of the 3D. inst, i,
informing me that there was trustworthy tcs
timony as to the suffering for want of food by
the poor in South Carolina, of both races, and
that Gen. Sickles had d;sapproved of the ra.
ton return upon my statement that the want
is very much exaggerated, has just been re-
ceivcd; and hasten to reply, with view of
correcting any misapprehension on the subject
growing out of my conversation with General
Sickles. There is great need of distributing
rations through the Freedmen's Bureau in
every District in the State. In some, the ne,
cessity is greater than in Others and what
intended to impress upon Gen Sicklcs was
that applications wore made bymany persons,
white and colored, who were not fit subjects
of relief, and that if all the stories which were
told of the officers of the Bureau in different
sections were to be credited, The distribution
would embrace too wide range
regret that General Sickles should havo
understood from me that the necessity for is
suing rations to very many people, white and
colored, had passed. AS early as March last
an estimate was made in Chesterfield Dis
trict, and it was found that there were only,

johnson w. Briawell.

There are doubtless some Of our readers who
rccollect Johnson W. BRIDwELn. He was
a printor by trade, and was employed on tho
Highland Sentinel for some time After
wards, he was joint proprietor of tho "Pon-
dcton Messenger" for term Of years. When
the "Courier was established, he was en-
gagged for while on its columns. In 1850,
he removed to Atlanta, Georgia, and cstab-
lishod the first paper published at that place
the Atlanta Intelligenccr" In his rage for
change, he soon parted with his interest in
the " Intclligcnccr;" after which time, we
had lost sight Of him. He is again brought
to view, in the columns of the Atlanta In
telligencer,' as having been murdered in that
city recently, in most brutal manner in q
drunken row in one of the lowest brothcls of
the city.
We knew the deceased vol, having been
appreuticcd to him, aud from him learned the
cart prcservativc of all arts" The deceased,
not without the frailties Of our nature, pos
scsscd some excellent traits of character. Let
tho grave cover his faults and let us only rec
ollect those traits excellent in thcmselvcs.-
Perhaps, we should not close this imperfect
sketch, without expressing our regret, tlat one
who, knowing so well the right, did the wrong
pursue. Let his sad fate boa warning to the
rising typos Of the present day

The Increase of Crime.

The alarming increase of crime in our midst
calls loudly for some adequate remedy. Horse
stealing is mania, and is so common as scarce
ly to excite comment. Corn stealing is ne
ccsslty, says the rogue. Poultry is my prey,
says the freedman. Cotton, stock, melons,
fruit, Nc, disappear constantly. Is therc no
remedy for this state of affairs2 1t is our dis
position to be law-abiding, but we fear VIC
shall have to call Judge LYNCH to our aid in
this extremity!

phia, a portion of the people assembled in the
Court House at noon on Monday last. The
meeting was organized by inviting Col. l.. N.
ROBINS to act as Chairman, and Maj j. NJ.
ADAMS to act as Secretary.
At the suggestion of Major ADAMS, Col.
meeting in a few animated and olltimed re.
marks. On motion of Col TnoMpsoN, the
Chairman appointed a Committee consisting
of Col. r. A. THOMPSON, j. e. HAdooD, w,
e. HoLCoMBE, II. B. MAULDEN and Il. G.
Booas, to prepare business for the meeting.
The Commis;ee retired, and after short alb
sence, reported the following Preamble and
Resolutions, which after some discussion, were
adopted:
Whereas, 1t is a fundamental principle of
the Constitution, and one upon which the
Government of our fathers has always rested,
that taxation and representation should al
ways 60 together" And acheyeos, we are
without representation in both houses Of Con
gress, so that neither our opinions nor cond.
ton can be officially known to the country |;
and unjust and discriminating taxes arc I'M
posed on us, people sadly Impoverished by
the calamities of the last five years and we
are allowed no voice of protest even in the
counscls of the nation. And avhercaS, we have
been separated for tho last five years from all
communication with the people of the North
and West, knowing but little of their opin.
ions, except as expressed through the unjust
and oppressive action Of the bitter partisan
majority which at present controls the Nation
al Legislature; and the opportunity now Of
fcred by tho National Democratic Party is the
first which has been offered to us to ioiin once
more in the discussions of the nation. Re f.
therefore,
Resolved, l. That, in the opinion of this
meeting, there is not now in existence par
ty, which, by its principles or power, can re-
store the whole country to its former political
and fraterna relations.
ResoIued, g That, for the purpose of con-
sultation and doliberation, and that our poiti.
cal condition may be improved We favor send
ing delegates to the National Union Conycn
tion, soon to assemble in Philadelphia.
Resolved, 3. That we endorse the course of
His Excelloncy, President JOHNSON, in his
efforts to restore the South to her proper po-
sition in the Union Of, these States.
ResoI0ea,'4. That We will, in good faith,

AS there seems to be conflicting testimony
of an otherwise trustworthy character as to
suffering for want of food in South Carolina,
and as Gen Sckles has disapprovcd of the
ration returns, upon your statement that the
want is very much exaggerated, and as these
returns have been referred to me for official
action, | respectfully request from you some
statement that will justify me for Withholding
supplies, for really it is not tho purpose to

animation, which was highly creditable to the
Students. and testified to tho scholarship and
unrcnitted oare Of the Teachor Tho exercises
Of the day commenced at0 O'clock, q. M. Tho
scholars in the primary classes were first exam
incd. Thon those in Geography, Arithmetic,

thcy were compelled to hasten through the OK.
animation. but VIC heard enough to satisfy our.
selves they understood what they had been stud.
wing. At noon. there was an intcrmSsion Of
an hour given fur rolrosllmcnt;; The people of
the neighhnr!lnnd had provided good things to
eat in abundance, and although there was no
tablo spread, believe all were we'll fed.
After refreshing thcmaelves,wc assembled in
front of the Academy. where seats had been nr.
ranged, and listened to the rcndngcf Compositions
Speaking and Dialogues. There were nine girls
or young ladies who read compositions and six
young men. we do not remember tho subject Of
each compositions but all of them were well con-
cevcd md happily expressed. Some of them I'M
pressed very furcibly, but VIC fOrbcnr TO single
them out for fear OF being thought invislious. AZ
ter the reading Of compositions the speakers np-
pcnred on the stngc one by one. and we were ns-
onishcd to hear them speak 50 we'll, They gave
evidence of very thorough training, and acquitted
themselves handsomely. There were nnctccn
speeches The exercises Of the day were coucu
ctl by four very amusing Dialogues, not mixed up
with any immortality or ynlgariy.
Young gentlemen, skilled in the use Of the bow,
cnlivencd the occasion with fine music.
at the conclusion. it was announced to the nu-
dencc that n gentleman had been requested to adj
dress them, hut for somt unknown cause had failed
to atcnl. We were then dismissed, and left the
