MATTERS IN FAIRFIELD.
The Gold Snap-A Repetition Of the
Newberry County Swindle.

Newberry County Swfndle.
[FRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
FAIRFIELD, January !.
The extreme cold spoken of in all parts OF
the United States certainly has not. sighted
us en- pasSant. The whole face of the country
is still hidden from view beneath the covering
OF "beautifnl snow" and improvlsed sIeighs
have made their appearance upon all sides.
The long expected Christmas has passed of
in very orderly manner, and the colored
people Will now settle down, after the annual
change of quarters, into the old routine.
They tell with great Zest that the honorable
gentlemen, their representatives In the legis-
lative halls, do not conf1ne themselves to the
single occupation of lsw-making, but find
something more cengenial In keeping bar
rooms at the capital.
Our interest 10 the fence law has run very
high, but we fear We are doomed TO disap-
poinLment In that as in all else OF merit ema-
mating from 30 corrupt source.
We have lately had some o. the arts OF q
regular Down-East sharper practiced upon us
by fellow styling himself Brooks. He first
made very liberal offers tor all cotton along
the line of the Spartanburg aud Union Rail-
road, and had good many bales delivered at
the different depots. On Saturday, 2lst ult.,
he passed down the road, telling the parties
Of whom he had purchased the cotton that he
did not have money enough TO pay for 1t, but
would return on the Monday following TO
settle with them, and 10 save them all tronble
and responsibility bhey must leave the cotton
In the depot, and allow him to take railroad
receipt for If, which they unwarlly did. After
waiting impstiently tor week. they found, /,
to their great disgust that the rascal had
drawn money on his receipts In Columbia,
and put out for parts unknown.

making o total Of 1853. The greatest number
that voted in the present year VIVA 704, on the
recent vote Of confidence in n. Thetra. As
the number of deputies for France is based on
population it is liable to vary. The present As
sembly was elected on the rule Of one deputy
to every 80 900 inhabitants, plus one for every
fractlon exceeding 10000 inhabitants. Under
the Empire one member was chosen to repre-
sent 81, 600 electors mot inhsbitsnts,) and the
Legislative body consisted Of S76 members. In
the Legislative Assembly Of is4s there were 76O

Four Men TO be Hanged, Convicted on
Circumstantinl Evidence.
Benjamin Shelby, Arthur Shelby, Ball Woods,
and Villa n Smith are now in Jail in Burnett
County, Texas, under sentence Of death, all to
be executed on the 18th OF January. They
were convicted OF the murder OF Benjamin
McKeever, solely upon singular and perfect
chain of circumstantial evidence. McKeever
was shot from bis horse at night, and bis
throat cut, near the residence Of the shelbys,
his body carried on horseback three miles and
thrown into cave. A large rock was placed
over the bloody spot where his throat was>cut.
which precaution led 10 the arrest OF the crimi-
mails. A frontiersman saw the rock had been
recently placed there; it was removed, and the
blood discovered. On o closer search o wad
from shot gun was found. Another wad was
taken from Shelby's gun. Both were from the
same paper. A copy OF the Chimney Corner
was found in shelby's house, With piece torn
out. The wads placed together and in the
paper made the context perfect. Other cir
cumstauces were cumulative, and the jury
found them guilty. 1t Is thought that neither
the courts or the governor will interfere, and
the sentence will be executed.

INTERESTING INSURANCE CASE.

al. NEW YORK, january.
Madame C. Battle, of Alabama, brought suit
in the United States Circuit Court, for this
district. against the Mutual Lite Insurance,
Company OF this city, to recover ten thousand
dollars, the amount on which her husbands
lie was insured. She alleged in her pleading
that she paid premiums regularly to Thomas
W. Mccoy, agent Tor the company 10 Mobile.
The answer of the company AYERS that Nc
Coys power as agent had been revoked about
the time of the commencement of the war In
1861, and that the plaintiff was duly notified
of the revocation, and that consequently any
payments made since that time were OF no
binding effect upon the company. Judge
Blatchiord to-day decided that the evidence
did not sustain the allegations of the COM
pauy, but also holds that the plaintiff fails to
shows that she paid the premiums at the
proper date In 1868, or at all In 1854, and
therefore cannot recover.
