LETTER FROM FORT MILL.
Fort MILL, S. c., Feb. 10Th, 1876.

FORT MILL, =. w., r oO. 10Lu, 1OGo.
The people of the upper portion of Ian
caster county have determined to adopt no.
fence system, by each land-holder obligating
himself to keep up his stock within certain
bounds, the boundary to be decided upon, and
the boundary fence to be built by the joint
contributions of those entering into the ar
rangement. This seems to be the most feasi-
BILE plan by which to bring the fence law into
practical operation in this State-or at least
in this section Of the State
Fort Mill township is we'll situated to adopt
the no.fence system without either great cost or
labor-being bounded on one side by North
Carolina, where fence law is now in opera
ton (working we'll and satisfactory by Ca
tawba river on the west; and by Sugar creek
to that portion of Lancaster county that has
adopted the system. AS will be seen, this
township could easily give the system an ex-
pertinent without the necessity of building a
panel of boundary fence.
Trial Justice Murray is building an Office
in the town, and when finished, his headquar-
ters will be located there instead of at his coun.
try residence.
From present indications, and judging by
the quantities already hauled away from the
depot here, am inclined to think our far
mers intend using fertilizers as literally as
heretofore.
Yesterday match took place between the
Pineville and Fort Mill Base Ball Clubs,
which resulted in a score of 81 for the Fort
Mill club, and for the Pneville club.
The school here now has about 56 pupils,
male and female. L. Il. Z.

tween the presiding Judge (Mackey) and the
grand jury. Richard Gardiner had been
presented for an assault with intent to kill.
The grand jury passed on the presentment
and returned "No bill," whereupon, as the
Ledger states it, "the Judge flew off at tan
gent and abruptly dismissed the grand jury,
not, howeverS-without scorching lecture"
james A. Bowley, formerly negro mem
ber of the legislature from Georgetown, was
arraigned in Columbia last week, on the
charge of accepting bribe, the proof being
the testimony of Dennis, the keeper Of the
Penitentiary, that he and Bowley fixed up a
paper, which twas in effect to give Bowley
one-sixteenth of the appropriation for the
Penitentiary, which amounted to $8O,OOo.
The one-sixteenth was to be given Bowley for
his interest in making the appropriation bill"
In consequence of defect in the indictment,
Bowley was discharged.

the marriage has produced quite a sensation
from the fact that such marriages are forbid
den by the laws of Massachusetts. The bride
groom learned his dilemma on the morning
succeeding that of the wedding, and to prevent
further scandal left his wife at hsme and took
rooms at boarding house. Since the death
of her mother, Miss Eldridge has superinten-
ded affairs in the home of her stepfather, whom
she has just married. The pair have since
been remaining in New York, and Parton will
petition the Massachusetts, Legislature for a re-
peal of that portion Of its statutes making
his marriage in the State unlawful. -.

CHESTER, February 81, 1876.

CaESIEh, Eooi 0ai -, Aoso'
Judging from the public interest taken in

we'll to give detailed account of this inter.
esting event. Acting upon information deem
ed reliable, Deputy Sheriff W. E. Walker, &C.
companied by Messrs. j. K. Marshall, j. F,
Pagan, L. B. Caruthers, c. H. Alexander and
j. D. Means, left this place, mounted and
armed, on the evening of the 18th instant at
7 o'clock, for Mr.. Robert KEGS plantation, in
the eastern portion of the county, where they
hoped to find the notorious Ben. Arriving
at this plantation about 10 o'clock, they sur.
rounded negro cabin occupied by an uncle
of Ben's, and devoted themselves at once to
the good work of discovering, if possible, the
object of their attentions. Failing in making
the desired discovery, and acting upon infor'
nation impaired by the uncle, the Deputy
Sheriff and his posse com'tatus re'mounted
and, having Mr.. Kee for guide, proceeded
to place about four miles distant, where
Michael's motherlived. The place was reach
ed in due course of time, when the house, in
which Michael was supposed to be, was sur
rounded, and after knowing him to be there
in, frequent and urgent demands were made
by the posse for his surrender. Their de-
mands were treated with silence by the fugi
tive from justice, who, in taking advantage Of
the darkness that enveloped the house, en-
deavored to effect his escape. Tearing up the
flooring of the house, he crept therefrom, and
took to his heels, when his flight was discov.
cred by Mr.. j. D. Means, who fired his pistol
at him. The ball did not take effect, and the
criminal proceeded on bis way, pursued, how
ever, and fred upon by the posse as he fled

with all the deliberateness Of aim the party
could take. In crossing fence the fugitive
was struck in the heel, and, after running a
few feet, fell. Mr.. w. E. Walker was the
first Of the pursuing party that reached him
and in doing SO struck him with the butt Of
his pistol in consequence of some movement
that was considered rebellious. The others
then came up, when Michael, seeing the folly
and danger of making any resistance, an
nounced his intention of submitting and doing

- The Supreme Court of this State has de.
cided that trial justices have exclusive juris-
diction in all cases of petit larceny, which de-
prives the Circuit Court of any right to try a
case of petit larceny, let the circumstances be
ever so aggravated. AS the law now stands,
the punishment of petit larceny cannot in any
instance exceed thirty days punishment.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.
MONDAY. February II,

In THE SENATE, the bill to provide for q
new apportionment of the representatives was
taken up and extensively discussed. The op-
position to it came chiefly from the Beaufort
members, and the colored members from
Charleston, but it was finally passed to
third reading by vote of 64 to IA. The
counties of Anderson, Barnwell, Richland
and Pickens gain one member each, and
those of Beaufort, Charleston, Georgetown
and Laurens lose one each.
The next measure reached on the calendar
was resolution, by Mr. Ferguson, of Green
Vile, instructing the committee on retrench-
ment and reform to report bill making re-
duction of twenty per cent. on all salaries,
public printing, and in the legal fees of attor-
neys, sherifs, clerks of court and probate
judges. Mr.. Ferguson supported his resolu-
ton with short but earnest speech, but 1t
was obviously an impracticable one, for the
reason that it was scarcely definite enough,
and for the further reason that it is now too
late in the session to get such bill through
both branches of the General Assembly.
Speaker Elliott made motion to table it,
which was voted down, "a ayes to 30 nays.
Elliott then gave his reasons for opposing it.
He said he was in favor of any measure look
ing to a reform, such as was contemplated by
the resolution, but would vote for no measure
which looked only to buncombe If such a
bill was brought in, it could not pass both
houses before their adjournment, and he,
therefore, moved to indefinitely postpone the
resolution, and this motion was adopted.
In THE HOUSE, the enacting clause was
stricken out of bill to levy tax Of one
quarter Of mill to raise sum sufficient to
provide for the representation Of FIVE comPa-
MES of the State National Guard at the Phil.
