two weeks. The only difference between
Whipper and Moses, he said, was that while
the infamy of the former was local, that of the
latter extended throughout the entire country.
A considerable crowd filled our streets on
Saturday-the colored population predomi-
mating over the whites. Good order prevail
ed throughout the day. The new year, with
its hopes and fears, was a prominent topic OF
conversation. The opinion is generally en-
tertained that the Conservatives must make,
this year, strong, determined and invincible
effort to drive the plunderers from power, and
thus accomplish the redemption of the State.
At late meeting of the Chester Division,
Sons of Temperance, the following gentlemen
we're chosen officers for the ensuing quarter:
w. A. Wilson, W. p; w. H. Elliott, " A.;
w. 1. Clawson, r. s.; w. H. Rosborough,
a. r. s.; w. T. D. Cousar, Treasurer r. H.
Cousar, F. s. John McFadden, Chaplain; J.
K. Marshall, Conductor H. c. Rothrock,
A. c.; S. M. Evans, l. s., and G. A, Albright,
o.. The temperance cause does not flourish
here as in times that are past; but when the
holidays, with their peculiar temptations, have
passed, a host of recruits may enlist, and re-
solve to fight under the cold water standard.
The meeting nf the January term of the
Circuit Court drew considerable crowd to
our town to-day. The Court assembled at
ten o'clock, Judge T. J. Mackey presiding:
After the organization of the grand jury, OF
which w. B. Burnett was made foreman, the
Judge delivered very good charge, the prln-
cipal topics Of which were the lien law, the IL
licit traffic in stolen cotton, and the repeal of
the fence law. His reasons in favor of the
no-fence system, save for cattle, were unan
swerable, and it is to be hoped will have their
influence upon the members Of the Legisla-
ture from this county. In regard to the lien
law, the Judge said that no man had ri ight
to enforce his own lien; if he does, he is
transgressor; he must apply to the Clerk of
the Court for warrant, and the Sheriff must
execute it. The impression prevailing to
great extent among the colored population
that one-third of the crop was exempt from at
tachment and sale, even when covered by
lien, was corrected. The grand jury were in.
structed to report those who had engaged in
selling or buying cotton at night. This nefa-
rious practice was nuisance, and required no
additional legislation to secure its abatement.
Judge Mackey sustained his position by refer
ence to the action of the Supreme Court of
this State in the case of Pitts, appellant,
which came up for their consideration when
Judge O'Neal was upon the bench. The
grand Jury were instructed to examine and re-
port whether or not William Gore, and John
Lilley, both colored, kept disorderly houses.
If so, these houses must be indicted as nuis-
ances, and the necessary legal proceedings be
taken to abate them.
The only case of Importance tried to-day,
was that of the State Us. B. w. Crawford,
charged with assault and battery. The de-
fendant, it will be remembered, deposited the
contents of pistol few weeks ago in the
person Of one D. T. Legg, who perpetrated
an outrageous and villainous act in the neigh
borhood of Landsford last spring. The jury
acquitted the defendant without leaving their
seats.
The dissolution of the firm of S. B. Massey
& Co., took place last week. QUI.
