THE YORK PRISONERS.

With the exception of the case of Bost,
none of the persons recently arrested by Dep.
uty Marshal Hubbard in this county for al.
legged violation of the internal revenue laws,
were tried at the term of the Circuit Court
now sitting in Charleston-it having been
shown that the Court in the Charleston dis.
trict has no Jurisdiction. Bost, however,
waived this plea. The cases of all the others
of the accused were transferred to the next
term of the court, which will be held in Green
vile next August In the meantime the pris-
oners are held in Charleston, though an effort
is making to obtain an order of the Court
transferring them to this county, to enable
them the more readily to furnish bail; which
in Charleston they cannot do without great
expense and Inconvenience to themselves and
their friends.

upon the patient when taken internally in case of
Cold, Cough, Bowel Complaint, Cholera Dysen-

truly wonderful, and has won for it a name
forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an

THE COUNTY JAIL.

THE COUNTY JAIL.
Sheriff Glenn informs us that he now has
in custody not single county prisoner The
only inmates of the Jail under durance are
two United States prisoners-J. Fl. Bost and
Elijah Ross Seapaugh. Bost is one of Mar
shal Hubbard's recent captures, and was con-
vicsed last week in the United States Circuit
Corrt at Charleston of "the removal Of dis.
titled Spirits" and sentenced to three months
incarceration in the county Jail at Yorkville
and to pay fine of two hundred dollars. He
was received by the Sheriff and committed to
Jail last Monday evening.
Seapaugh, it will be remembered, was con-
victed of ku.kluxing and appealed to the
United States Supreme Court on grounds Of
the unconstitutionality of the law under
which he was convicted. In regard to his
case, Washington dispatch in the Baltimore
Sun of Saturday last, says that no decision
has yet been announced by the Supreme
Court, and that the members of the Court
have held no formal deliberations on the
subject. The question, continues the dis
patch, "is scarcely considered one of any prac-
tical consequence, and it is now in contempla-
ton by the Department of Justice to order
the United States attorney for South Carroll
ma to withdraw the case against Seapaugh.
Should this be done, which is very probable,
it makes an end of the whole matter"
A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
Several weeks ago, an attempt was made
to rob the store of Hasseltine & Chafee, in
Lancaster, the house having been forcibly
entered, and an effort made to blow open the
safe with fuse and powder. From some cause,
the attempt either failed or was abandoned,
and when the discovery was made, stick
was found lying near the safe, which was
identified as one seen in the hands Of a worth
less negro, who, on the same day, had been
noticed under suspicious circumstances in the
company of a strolling adventurer who was
in Lancaster with sort of lottery or "wheel
of fortune" The lottery man had left Lam
caster, however, before the clew was obtained.
A few days subsequent to the above occur
rences, on the 9th ultimo, a man arrived at
this place, registering at Rawinson's Hotel
as &C. Anderson, Columbia, S. c. On the
next day he applied to the town council for
license to conduct lottery game similar to
that which had been in Lancaster, which the
council refused to grant. While lettering
about the hotel on Sunday, he overheard
conversation in the sitting-room relative to
the attempted robbery in Lancaster; and
though suspicion did not at that time point
to him, he evidently feared detection, and
stepping out of the hotel, walked up Main
street in the direction of the Kings Noun
tain road, and as yet has failed to return.
His only baggage consisted Of the symbolical
carpet-bag, which was examined the other
day and found to contain dirty shirt and
few envelopes which had been post-marked
at different places and each addressed to
| different name

Mr.. Phillips was attorney for Nine. Olympic,
and last week, at the courthouse, in Jackson
square, Mrs. Bienvenu grossly abused and
insulted Phillips, which being sustained by her
husband, Phillips knocked him down. Bien-
venu then challenged Phillips to mortal COM
bat, the weapons chosen being double barrelled
shot-guns, loaded with ounce ball, and the
distance fixed at forty PAGES. The parties
met at 10 o'clock in the morning Benvenu
was shot through the head at the first fire,
and instantly expired.
The Memphis Avalanche says that the
Grange at Rienzi, Mississippi, received last
week from Liverpool the sum of $4,000 in gold
in return for cotton shipped there on account
of its members, the result of which experiment
proves to be serious loss. Had the cotton
been shipped to Memphis the realization in
currency would have purchased over $4,000
in gold. 1t is evident the zeal of the Changers
is leading them into serious errors, besides
which there are many Of our country friends
who seem to have no appreciation of the rela-
tions of greenbacks and gold to one another.
For example, one of the members of the
above grange, desiring more gold than bis pro-
portion of the shipment spoken Of, paid an
other member $50 in currency for $40 in coin.
In Memphis he could have bought the gold
for $4480.
-- 1t appears from the minority report of
the liquor law joint committee of the Massa-
chusetts legislature, that under the existing
prohibitory law Massachusetts, has more liquor
shops open than any other New England
State in proportion to her population, and she
pays the federal government thirty per cent.
more for taxes on liquor than all the other
New England States together. The facts thus
exhibited seem to be but part ofthe evil.
The New York Journal Of Commerce, says it
is the most fruitful cause of bribery and dis
honesty among constables, judges and juries.
Whereas, before prohibition, Massachusetts
was proverbial for the purity of her judicial
system now, if current reports are to be cred

PLIMPTON HALL.

The eighth regular public meeting Of the Young
Mems Woman Suffrage League was held at the
above hall last night. The meeting was called to
order at quarter past eight Judging from the
attendance the object advocated by the League
has not yet excited any very marked attention in
this city. The number OF persons present at
the opening OF proceedings did not exceed
fifty, the young menu being conspicuous by
their absence. The minutes OF some previous
meetings were read and a few letters Mrs.
Elizabeth Is. whitney, OF Harlem. was then intro
duced and read paper upon "Wonan Suffrage"
IL embodied the usual answers to the objections
urged against woman suffrage, was clear and
simple In statement but somewhat Zoo dlscursive
and deficient in method aud logical power.
Some hits made apropos OF the Inconsistencies
into which the .lord OF creation" Is driven
by refusing woman equal rights with himself were
well received by the audience. other speakers
took advantage OF the five minute rule and de-
livered themselves OF their opinions. II the meet
ing OF last night is TO be taken as lair sample OF
the interest which thus movement Is destined to
evoke in New York, IL Is not too much to say that
the League has carved out for Itself very uphill

late government and he assured me that the
BOnapartst intrigues had again become the
cause of considerable alarm. l am not sur
prised at 1t, for, as informed you long ago. the
Bonapartsts really have chance OF returning
to power very shortly. The Septennate satisfies no.
body for the conclusive reason that 1t has nothing
to give away. l doubt that Marshal MacMahon
has the power OF creating dukes and
earls and barons TO oil the machinery Of
his government, and do not think that any French
government could establish Itself on q permanent
basis without cOntentng the ambition and hopes
OF rich and influential people. The only question
really at issue just now Is, What Is to be the ma
ture OF the government which will succeed the
septennate9 Let 1t be what may MacMahon
himself abruptly assassinated or put aside; and
the new government will have. in the first in
stance, to accept the terms which he may dictate.
A great deal has, indeed been said about the
honesty and incorruptlblity Of the President of
the French Republic, and many persons are will
ing to believe that the Marshal is O simple,
Straightforward old soldier. Blu, he is by no means
wanting In shrewdness or a keen regard to his
own interests, and he well knows that his present
position Is precarious. Therefore it appeared evil
dent few months ago that he was perfectly
ready TO yield his place TO the legitimists
Tor reasons best known TO himself. and
nothing but their incredible laundering could have
prevented bargain being struck which would
have raised Henry v. TO the throne OF France. The
Bourbon monarch would have made the chief In
