his store, and tell him in very positive man.
ner that he must stop his nefarous business.
Ifthe injunction was not obeyed, to pay Sec
ond VISIT and proceed at once to the good
work of demolishing his store. This is the
kind of treatment these rascals deserve.
Revs. r. E. Cooper, j. S. White and T.
W. Irwin, held recent meeting at this place
in reference to the work of sustentation in
Bethel Presbytery. They also had under
consideration the propriety and expediency
of obtaining an evangelist for the Presbytery.
No conclusion of definite nature was ar.
rived at in regard to the matter. The COM
mittee, however, inclined to the opinion that
the means at their disposal hail best be devo.
ted to the cause Of sustentaton. The condi.
ton of Rev. Mr.. james, of Union, who has
recently been sold out Of house and home by
the sheriff, came up for consideration before
the committee. Their warmest sympathies
were expressed for this good man and faith
full preacher, and have no doubt an earnest
effort will be made by the Presbytery, through
their committee, to provide him home.
Harvey Terry, Esq, of Columbia, who in
vested, after the war, large amount of mon.
ey in the bills of the old Bank of Chester,
has recently brought suit in the United
States District Court against large number
of its stockholders On Thursday the writs
were served upon the stockholders living in
our town. The summons reads as follows:
"You are hereby strictly commanded and firm
ly enjoned that, all manner of excuses being laid
aside, you be and appear before the Judges Of the
Circuit Court of the United States for the District
Of South Carolina at Charleston, on the first
Monday of November next, twenty days after
the service thereof; then and there true and per-
the Holy Evangelists, to all such matters as shall
be objected against you in the bill of complaint
of Harvey Terry against the Bank Of Chester and
John J. Mcclure, Receiver, et al. And also that
you do, on the rules day next Immediately after
the day appointed and expressed, file, or cause to
be filed, in the Registry Of said Court your plea,
| answer or demurrer, to the said bill of COM
plaint.'
The fear that the plaintiff will recover
judgment is causing some of the stockholders
to tremble in their boots. Others regard the
matter with perfect indifference. They snap
their fingers at old Terry, and tell him to get
his money if he can. The bills of the old
Bank of Chester, which we're bought up by
the plaintiff at mere song, will have proven
splendid investment if the Court orders
their payment in full. It will certainly be
painful spectacle to men to see their property
pass out of their hands for the purpose of re.
deeming bills, which were overwhelmed with
ruin by the results of disastrous war. 1t
is said that Mr.. Terry is his own lawyer, but
the probabilities favor the engineering Of the
whole affair by one of the Columbia lawyers.
The defendants to the suit will be represented
by very fine legal counsel. ..
On Thursday, Mr.. Marion Chisholm
brought suit for damages before Trial Justice
Sanders, against certain colored men for in
aicting such injuries upon his COW as to occa-
sion its death. Gen. w. A. Walker and J.
G. McAliley, Esq, we're the lawyers employ
ed in the case-the former representing the
plaintiff and the latter the defendants. The
charge brought against the defendants was
established BY the testimony. They, howev-
er, endeavored to show that the COW came to
her death by eating an undue quantity of
peas but post mortem examination Of the
unfortunate COW revealing no sign of peas,
caused this allegation to fall to the ground.
The defendants, who we're three in number,
were sentenced by the Trial Justice to an i'm
prisonment of fifteen days in the county Jail,
or the payment of fine of five dollars each,
and the costs of the suit The latter alterna-
tive was complied with, and they were dis
charged.
Dublin Walker and Henry Blake, charged
with and convicted at the recent sitting of
the Sessions Court of the crime Of issuing
fraudulent school certificate, and sentenced to
an imprisonment in the State penitentiary-
the former for period of twelve months, the
latter for three months-have been brought
back to our county Jail, and will serve out
their respective sentences here. Governor
Chamberlain was simply unable to stem the
tide of solicitation that flowed with an irresis-
tible force in favor of the prisoners. He had
the desire to stand firm and do his duty by
the State but, unfortunately, he did not have
sufficient amount of that Andrew Jackson
determination in his character to carry the
commendable desire into execution. Judge
T. J. Mackey, who played prominent part
in obtaining the removal of Walker and Blake
from the penitentiary to this place, says there
we're some leading Republicans here who op-
posed this removal, and that this opposition
was occasioned by the fear that some disa-
greeable disclosures might be made by the
prisoners in the event of their serving their
imprisonment here. These developments, he
says, will be brought to the light of day in
the course of few months, and will produce
a considerable sensation. Hurry on the de-
velopments with all possible speed The
public desire to become acquainted with the
names of the guilty parties, and with the
character of their actions.
With the exception of Saturday evening,
religious services were held in the Presbyte-
rian church on every evening during the past
week. Rev. DR.. Plumer, of Columbia, con.
Quoted the exercises on Friday evening, Sc
lecting his text from the last chapter of
Joshua, "Choose ye, this day, whom ye will
serve" The sermon was solemn and earn
est appeal to the unconverted to embrace the
offers of salvation.
Jonathan Thompson, of this county, made
application, recently, to our Board of Coun'
tv Commissioners, for pecuniary assistance.
