Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1866-10-11

S1.33t currency, per copy. The title Of
the book is to be "Hunting Home in
Brazil" A very proper title, we imagine,
especially, the "huuting" part.
"A report having been industriously
circulated in the Northern States, that
owing to the result of the elections in
Maine and Vermont, the President had
determined to abandon his policy of recon.
struction, he gives it an "emphatic denial"
He also authorizes the statement that, he
has in no way modified his policy or signi.
fed his approval of the unconstitutional
amendment lately adopted by Congress.
He holds that amendment to be grossly
violative of the fifth article of the Consti-
tuition, which says that ono State shall be
deprived, without its consent, of its equal
suffrage in the Senate" The President
contends that when this amendment was
under consideration in Congress, eleven
States were in vain asking for admission,
and were practically denied, without their
consent, "equal suffrage in the Senate"
This, he contends, invalidates the whole
proceeding.
Under the caption of "Honorable,"
We find the subjoined paragraph in the
Chester Standard of last week. Chester
is brim.ful of the milk of human kindness,
and there is no District in the State where
the people are more disposed to act upon
the precept, olive and let live" We know
whereof we speak. Here is the paragraph:
"Several of our lawyers have informed
US that even had not the Legislature post
poned the Fall Session of the Court of
Common Pleas, the docket would have
presented beggarly array of suits. We
are proud to record this evidence of the
good feeling prevailing among the citizens
of this District. An instance has very
recently been brought to our attention,
where gentleman declined to accept specie
in payment of debt contracted before the
war, declaring he would only receive cur
rency. We have heard several merchants
express their willingness to compromise with
their debtors upon the most. liberal terms.
Such indications of humanity and sympathy,
amid the demoralising tendencies of the
times, are most creditable and praise
worthy, and deserve the highest commeu-
dation."
- 1t will probably be remembered by
some of our readers, that short time since
We mentioned the murder at San Luis Po-
tosi, Mexico, of Col. JAMES G. MONROE,
at one time a Cadet at the "Kings Noun
tain Military School" in this place. In the
Pine-Bluff Arkansas Dispatch, which, by
the way, is temporarily under the editorial
management of our old friend JOSEPH H.
BLACK, Esq, we find the following tribute
to Col. MONROE:
"Of all the brave soldiers sent forth by
Arkansas to uphold the now "Conquered
Banner" none were more gallant, none
more cbivalric and none more completely
wrapped up bis soldiership. and devotion to
The cause of the South. In response to
the first call for troops from this State he
raised company in Clark County and re.
paired to little Rock, where he was chosen
LIT. Colonel of the First Arkansas Regi.
ment, with Gen. Pagan as Colonel. On
the reorganization of that regiment he
came west with Gen. Pagan and reported
to Gen. Hindman, then in command of
this department He was soon in command
of regiment of Cavalry, afterwards known
as Monroe's Regiment of Cabell's Brigade.
The course of this regiment is too well
known to require an extended notice at our
hands. The regiment was popularity called
"The Rawhides" At Backbone Noun
tain, Poison Springs, Marks Mill and Pilot
Knob, the gallant "Rawhides" we're con-
spicuous for their daring, and their brave
Colonel for his dashing and headlong
courage. His old comrades will shed a tear
over the announcement of his death in
strange land, and at the hands of cut.
throat band of Mexicans.
To his friends in Carolina, while they
must mourn bis loss, it will be proud re.
Election, that he drew his sword with the
first, and laid it down with the last of the
sons of the south-that as soldier and
gentleman his reputation was spotless-
and that his name and his fame will live in
the pages of history, when the bloody an
nails of the long and glorious struggle for
Southern nationality are written"
-"P. W. A." otherwise, P. W
Esq, who was we'll known,
during the late war, as correspondent of
the Savannah Republican, writes the subjoin-
ed hopeful paragraph from New York, to
a Georgia paper. We have great conf
dence in his opinions, yet from the "sigus
of the times" viewed from our stand
point, we are apprehensive that in this in
stance, his judgment is at fault. We are not
over. r.hopeful of Ihe future. He Saws:
