ion who shot him, in accordance with the
verdict rendered by the coroners jury which
investigated his case, as in England, where
two persons mutually agree to commit suicide
together, and only one dies, the survivor is
held guilty of the murder of the one who died.
Some of the great English judges have ruled
that such is the law. The last trial of this
kind occurred in the Old Bailey in 1888, when
Benjamin Allison was indicted for the wilful
murder Of Emma Cripps woman with whom
he had been living. The two had agreed to
commit suicide together, and drank three
parts ola cup of laudanum each. The large
quantity produced vomiting in the man, and
he survived. These facts were proved on the
trial, and the man was convicted Of numbering
the woman and sentenced to death.

From the Chester Reporter.
THE SOLICITORSHIP.

Mr. Editor Some person in the last num-
ber of the Reporter, over the signature Of
"Chester," in reference to my nomination for
the Office of Solicitor of the Sixth Circuit,
gives expression to his individual feelings as
follows:
"In the last issue of your paper appeared COM
munication taken from the Winnsboro Ne'os,
nominating G. S. Brice, as candidate for Solicit
or of the Sixth Circuit.
"Surely this is an exceedingly impolitic move,
for although the nominee may, as against the
present incumbent, excite no considerable oppo-
stion, still the effect will be to divide tho vote of
the honest people between two candidates, by
which means both will probably be defeated, and
third man, we know not whom, elected.
1T is very important that there should not be
two candidates for the office in the field and as an
honest and efficient man has already been nomi-
mated, we hope that all parties will unite upon
him and ensure his election"
In regard to this matter, I deem it due to
myself to say:
First. That had no knowledge or infor-
nation whatever of my nomination until l
saw it in print-nor do know now by whom
that nomination was made.
Second. If, as stated by the person sign
ing himself "Chester," the nomination made
in the Winnsboro Menus, "may, as against the
present incumbent excite no considerable op-
position" "the effect" cannot be considerably
ito divide the vote of the honest people, and
thus "a third man, we know not whom, be
elected"
Third. As the boilers from the Republican
State Convention at Columbia made no NOM
ination for this particular Office, I think
"Chester" need have no fears for the nominee
of the Regulars on account of the anticipated
appearance in the field of this "third man,
we know not whom," if, indeed, this be the
only honest ground of his fears in the premises
It is probable, then, that the exceeding
great impoiicy of this "move" consists rather
in the unwillingness of "Chester'' 20 recognize
the fact that there might be desire on the
part of "the honest people" for change, than
that there will be division in the vote Of
these same "honest people," and the possible
election of the unknown "third man."
Fourth. I am no aspirant for public office,
and I would rather that some one other than
myself had been nominated in this instance;
but having been urged to accept the nomina-
ton by gentlemen for whom 1 entertain the
highest respect, and whose opinion and judg-
ment ought to have weight with me, and in
some measure to influence and guide me in
coming to a decision on a question of this
character, I do not feel at liberty to decline.
It is not my purpose to canvass the counties
comprising the Circuit My name has been
placed before the people; if elected, T will
discharge the duties of the Office fearlessly and
faithfully. CHARLES s. BR1cE.

Correspondence of the YOrkville Enquirer
LETTER FROM CHATTANOOGA.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept. 10, 1872
In all the letters I have written for the En-
QUEER do not remember that I have ever
written from this point, although have been
here several times within the past three months
Chattanooga is city of more pretensions
than dimensions. Its chief Importance arises
more from what it is to be than from what it
is now. To go back half century or so, we
find that the site of the city was an Indian
town of the same name, which signifies
"Hawk's Nest" The "Nest" as we'll as the
surrounding country was purchased OF the
Indians with some beads and mean whisky,
and good deal of excellent advice. Since
the Indians sold out for these various consld-
erations, the town has been growing little by
little. But it has only been within the past
few years that it could properly be called a
city, and the wisdom Of the designation even
now is doubted by some. The doubters, how
ever, are not such as own town-lots.
The city has had its share of ill-luck. In
1862, the Federals appeared upon the oppo-
site bank of the river and threw shot and
shell among its stately mansions and calf
lots. The next year it fell, and as the Con-
federates withdrew, they burned up some Of
the place, such as warehouses and dep6ts.
Then the Yankees came, having taken advan-
tage of the geographical situation and fanked
it from the south. Two or three battles were
tough almost within its gates, and for two years
it was victim of cruel, relentless war. Guns
from Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge were pointed at it, and from their black
throats came shot and shell occasionally to
make the Federal garrison feel easy and at
home.
When the war ended the poor town that

and prosperity throug ghout our borders"
Revenue Stamps.
- AS frequent inquiries are made regard
ing the disposal Of revenue stamps after the
1st of October, such as shall have been rem
dered useless under the act of Congress, re-
ducing the list of stamp duties, the following
from the Journal Of Commerce may be consid-
cred as correct answer:
"The old law, section 161, provides that
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may
from time to time make regulations, upon
proper evidence of the facts for the allowance
of such of the stamps issued under the provis-
ions of this act, as may have been spoiled, de-
stroyed or rendered useless or unfit for the
purpose intended, or for which the owner may
have no use, or which through mistake may
have been improperly or unnecessarily used,
or where the rates of duties represented there
by have been paid in error, or remitted; and
such allowance shall be made either by giving
other stamps in lieu of the stamps so allowed
for, or by repaying the amount of value, after
deducting therefrom, in case of repayment,
the sum of FIVE per centum to the owner there
of; but no allowance shall be made in any
case until the stamps so spoiled or rendered
useless shall have been returned to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, or until salts
factory proof has been made showing the rea-
son why said stamps cannot be returned
The Commissioner has not yet made provision
to facilitate this exchange, but he doubtless
will in due time. The holders who have
bought at par will lose the five per cent. The
holders who have obtained the per cent. COM
mission will come out even, while those who
have purchased over $500 at time, and OBJ
tanned discount of ten per cent, will make
five per cent by returning them to the Treas
ury, if the law is literally executed"
Regulations for the redemption Of stamps
for which the owners have no use on account
of the repeal of the stamp taxes on notes, &C.,
are being prepared and will soon be issued by
the Internal Revenue Bureau.
The Presidential Outlook.
- The Richmond Dispatch Of the 20th
instant, in viewing the prospects Of the Lib
eral party as they now stand, almost on the
edge Of the October elections, makes the fol-
lowing estimates:
The chief strength of the Liberal move
ment as an addition to the Democratic vote,
lies in the seven States which sent large Re-
publican delegations to the Cincinnati Con-
vention. These will be carried for Greeley,
and with these his election is secure. The
number of electoral votes given by these
States is as follows:

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

We regret serious accident which occur
red on Thursday afternoon last to our old and
esteemed fellow-citizen, James Brian, Esq,
at his residence, three miles northeast of
Yorkville. While attempting to bride one
among several horses that were running at
large in his stable.lot, he was kicked on the
knee by one of the horses which kicked at an
other near him, severely injuring his knee,
and by the conclusion, breaking his thigh
bone near the hip:joint. The injuries are Of
such serious nature, taken in connection
with Mr.. Brian's age that it is not likely that
he will ever again be able to walk.

JUDGE MAChEY TO RESIGN.

A gentleman who was at Chester few days
ago, informs us that Judge Thomas j. Mackey,
expressed to him purpose to resign the judge
ship of this Circuit, to which he was elected
at the last session of the Legislature. The
reason which induces Judge Mackey to this
course is that he prefers legislative to judicial
honors, and will therefore be candidate for
the Legislature from Chester county. Wheth.
er the Judge proposes to resign before or after
his election to the Legislature, we are not in

Adding the electoral vote in the two lists
Enough to balance the loss Of Ohio and II

Enough to balance the loss of Ohio and H.
linois if, by any possibility, we should lose
those two States. But we expect to carry
both of them. The Liberal movement has
been strong in both from the beginning, and
is supported by the most widely circulated
and influential Republican newspapers in each
State No two States sent half as many del
egates to Cincinnati, and in none except Mis-
souri, was the Liberal movement so vigorous
and spontaneous.
1t is the opinion of the New York World,
the leading Democratic paper at the North,
that the supporters of Mr.. Greeley are now
very sanguine, and will prosecute an energetic
campaign in the confident hope Of carrying
the October elections in the three important
States of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio.
Success in these will render any further stren-
uous exertions needless.
