Mr.. EDITOR AS exaggerated reports
have no doubt reached your city con-
cerning affairs in York County, I deem
it due to the people to furnish brief
statement of occurrences here during the
past few days.
On Saturday night, the 25!h February,
one Anderson Brown, colored man, was
taken from his house and killed by men
in disguise. He had not figured promi-
nently rs politician, but enjoyed the
reputation Of having burned one gin
house and ono barn, the property of in
offensive citizens, the week previous.
On Sunday night, the 26th, or rather
Monday morning, about l O'Clock, a
party of men in disguise visited the resi-
dence OF the County Treasurer, one e.
NJ. Rose, for the. purpose of inhicting
personal puninhnent (probably death)
upon him. 9Hey stole nothing from his
Office or dwelling, nor did they fire
shot at him, as alleged in his letter pub
lished in your paper soon afterwards; but
his person would undoubtedly have suf-
fered, had he not executed a brilliant
flank movement. This individual enjoys
very small share of political promi-
nence-his principal distinction arising
he was the head of the incendiaries that
have applied the torch so vigorously in
our County for the past few weeks.
On Monday night, the 9th inst, one
Jim Rainy (colored) was hung by persons
iu disguise. This persons only distinc.
tion arose from the circumstance that he
was Captain of company of Governor
SCOTS nlilitia-one of those armed with
drecch.loaainJ guns, dayonetS, and BAL
cartridges in time OF profound peace
which said arms, &C., had been used
under his instructions to arrest and in.
timidate quiet citizens. He is also re-
ported rs the head of company of
colored Hu hlur-at least, he had made
such admissions.
Another colored man was shot by men
in disguise during tho early part of the
week, whose name We never before heard,
and whose only crime that we have heard
was that he had abandoned the social
partner of his own color, and had taken
to wife i,1o white women. x
One Jed Williams was shot at and
wounded some days previous. This act
only prevented his arrest upon warrant
about to be issued against him for the
burning of gin house in the County.
This covers the list of casualties in York.
So you will perceive that although
there has been lawlessness in York,
which every law-abiding citizen deeply
regrets, yet there has been some reason
for il, although there may have been no
justification.
1t is useless to deny that there is dis
content among our people. The arming
OF the negroes the Incorporate use
made by them of these arms-the organ
lied system of incendiarism, confessedly
their work-and, above all, the bare
faced plundering practiced by the Lee
gisiature during its session-has pro-
duced fever of excitement that will not
rest very quietly until the State Govern
ment gets into better hands. At present
oil is quiet, and hope We will be able
to remain so. OBSERVER.

TIE VALUE OF PARTIES. Es.-spealer
Blaine, in returning thanks for his elec.
ton rs Speaker of the Forty-second
Congress, made some neat remarks. The
following will bear reproduction, as con-
tanning censure of the radical party,
none the less severe because unintended,
for its notorious disregard for the rights
OF minorities during the season of it's
majority
..Chosen by the party representing the
political majority in this House, the
Speaker owes faithful allegiance to the
principles and the policy of that party.
But he will fall far below the honorable
requirements Of his station if he fails to
give to the minority its fullest rights
under the rules which he is called upon
to administer. The successful working
OF our grand system of government de-
ponds in large measure on the vigilance
of party organization and the most
wholesome legislation which this House
produces and effects is that which results
from opposing forces, mutually eager
and watchful, and well-nigh balanced in
numbers"

Killed by a Chicken.

The Williamson Journal of yesterday
has an account of the death of Mrs.
Sarah johnson, of that county, which
was caused in a very singular manner.
Only few days before her death, Mrs.
johnson, who was at the time In perfect
health, went out into the yard for the
purpose of separating couple of chicken
cocks which were engaged in a furious
fight. She caught one of the cocks, and
10 so doing was slightly wounded by its
long, sharp spur, or gaff From this
wound resulted lock jaw, which termi-
mated in death. She was the wife OF Mr.
Claiboru johnson, who has for long
while been sufferer from consumption.
The shock produced upon the already
enfeebled frame by the sudden death OF
his wife was more than Mr. johnson
could bear. He commenced sinking al
once. and two days after (the 9th instaut)
he too "shuffled off this mortal coil, y aud
she two corpses were taken to their last
resting place in the cemetery at Bethes
da, and laid side by side.

MEMPHIS, May 17.-Last Friday
night masked party, numbering about
forty. entered the town of Pontotoc, MS,
sissippi, for the purpose of driving on
Colonel Flournoy. editor of the Radical
paper who had been warned to leave.
On entering the town they were met oy
a party of citizens, who asked their in-
tentions, and we're answered by volley,
which the citizens returned. One of the
msskers fell from his horse; the others
fed. On picking up the wounded man:
he was found to be a young man named
billiard, residing near there. He presist-
emily refused to disclose the names
of the others, and soon after died.
The next morning number of persons
we're found to have left the country,
while several horses, with trappings
which had evidently belonged to the
masked party were found near.

Terrible Finale of a Jersey
EIOnRmenf

In Newark, several years ago, jacob
Besar, prosperous baker, lost his hand
some wife; she had eloped with too
intimate friend of her husband. For as
much as heretofore she had led most
exemplary life, and was surrounded with
every reasonable home comfort, her dis
appearance caused much of sensation,
aud no little sympathy for the wronged
husband. After serving as topic of
discussion for few days, the matter was
forgotten. Yesterday however, it was
again revived by the receipt in Newark
of information that on the 18th of last

Poisonous rIedIcines.

The theory that the virus of disease can
be safely counteracted by dcses of poison,
is false and dangerous. Within the last
twenty-five years, not less than score of
virulent poisons have been added TO the
repository of the medical profession. They
are given in small Doses otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately; but even
in minute quantities, they produce, ulti-
mately, very disastrous effects. Ii is unwise
and unphilosophieal to employ, as remedies,
powerful aud insidious drugs. which. in
subjugating one disease, SOW the seeds Of
these terrible medicaments operates with as
much directness and certainty upon the
causes of disease as Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, a tonic and corrective. without a
single deleterious ingredient in it's compo-
sition- Arsenic and quinia are given for
intermittents; bromide of potassium for
nervous disorders; stryehnine and prussic
acid for general debility; mercury, in
various forms. for liver complaint; prepa-
tions of chtorofcrm and opium for sleepless-
ness; and yet these deadly drugs do not
| compare. as specifics for the diseases above
enumerated. with that wholesome vegetable
| inyigoraRt and Alternative, white they are al
| so pernicious that it Is astonishing any ply
sicisn should take the responsibility Of pre-
! scribing them. Let invalids, for their ow u
sakes, Try the Bitters before they resort TO
the poisons. The relief they will experience
from a course of the harmless specific. will
render a recourse to the unsafe preparations
/ referred to, quite unnecessary.
