Fort Mill township have determined to do
away with fences around their crops, and to
that end nearly all Of them have signed an

have adopted an ordinance requiring owners
of stock within the corporate limits of the
town to keep the same within enclosures.
Eighteen deaths have occurred in Fort

were ambushed at the end of street, near
some trees. and fred upon several times One
was hit in the shoulder and the other in the

from musket balls. They returned the fire,

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

study Of the matter some years ago convinced
him of the right and the duty of Congress to
ascertain and verify the votes and declare the
true result of the Presidential elections, or
else by an assertion of the law-making power
to declare how those acts shall be DONE" He
argued at length that the bill does not violate
the constitution. In the House, Buttz, men,
ber from South Carolina, was seated, the COM
mittee on elections having adopted resolu-
ton that he had dprinsa tacie title to seat from
the certificates Of the Supreme Court of South
Carolina, that he had received majority Of

and legal argument in support of the electoral
bill.

was discussed. Sargent, of California, spoke
in opposition to the bill, and Bayard and
Christiancy in favor of it. In the House, the
resolution from the select committee on the
use of troops in the South was adopted, after
discussion, in which the proposed mode Of
procedure, by sending for persons and papers
was characterized as indecent and against the
proprieties and etiquette ofoficial life. Wat

resolution, intimated that impeachment pro-
ceedings against the President had only been

THE COUNTY TAXES.

The new board of County Commissioners,
on assuming the duties Of their Office, on the
18th ultimo, found that, pursuant to law, the
retiring board had levied the county tax and
had delivered their estimates to the County
Auditor for assessment within the Time limit
ed by law. This tax was already upon the
tax-books and could not be changed at the
date of installment of the new board.
John L. Watson, County Treasurer, is the
only person empowered by law to collect the
county tax. He is the lawful officer for this
purpose until supplanted or removed, and his
receipts for the county tax will be valid. The
objection to paying the State tax levied by the
Mackey Legislature, rests upon the ground
that it was passed by an illegal body, and is
therefore of no force.
Treasurer Watson gives notice through our
advertising columns that he is now prepared
to receive the taxes for the year 1876. Tax
payers can tender to him the amount of their
county taxes, if, in the anomalous condition
of affairs, they do not feel disposed to pay
their assessment for State purposes. This is
but another method, and seems to be the on
ly feasible plan of carrying out Judge Mack
ey's recommendation in bis charge to the
grand jury at the recent term of the Circuit
Court.
It is matter of vital Importance to our
people that the county taxes should be
promptly paid. The educational, charitable
and penal institutions of the county, as we'll
as other departments Of the county govern
ment, will soon be without funds for their
sustenance, and only in this way can the
needed relief be had. And as the tax thus
paid into the county treasury, to meet the re-
quirements of county purposes, will be dis
bursed in the county, the money will, to
great extent, be put into immediate circula-
ton again, and will greatly contribute to the
monetary relief of all classes Of our people.
We would, therefore, urge upon the tax-pay'
ers of the county the Importance of meeting,
without delay, the amounts assessed against
them for county purposes, which the Treasu-
rer has informed US he will not decline to re-
ceive, even though the State tax be not ten
dered, while the Treasurer's receipt for the
county tax thus paid will be perfectly valid
for the county tax of the fiscal year in which
the payment is made.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1877-02-01

House OF representatives, anu tuat the PIu-
ceedings conferred no authority upon Mr..
Chamberlain to exercise the duties of the of.
fee of Governor.
Second. That the legislative power of the
State is, by the Constitution, vested in two
distinct branches, the Senate and the House,
both together constituting the General Assem-
bly,, and that before they can perform any
legislative act, each of the houses must not
only be organized separately, but acting in
conjunction with the other; hence, as there
was no Joint action, and Gen. Hampton was
inaugurated without Senate, the proceedings
were invalid and conferred no authority upon
him to exercise the Office of Governor.
Third As the act of the Mackey Legisla-
ture in the attempted Inauguration of Cham
berlain was illegal and void, and conferred no
right to Office, it could take away no right,
and did not operate as a resignation BY Cham
berlain.
Fourth. As the Constitution provides that
the Governor shall hold his office for two
years, and until his successor is not only cho.
sen, but qualified, Chamberlain is the lawful
Governor until the qualification of bis success
sor, and no longer.
The effect of this decision is to wipe out
everything done on either side since the day
of the election, rendering it necessary for the
Chamberlain Senate and the Hampton House
to meet again aud together declare the re-
suit,
A similar question to this decided by Judge
Carpenter was to have come up before the
Supreme Court last Monday in the habeas
corpus case of James Pelton, another convict
pardoned by the clemenoy of Chamberlain;
and, as Judge Carpenters decision was filed
before the Supreme Court met, it is probable
that his opinion mag have some weight in
deciding this case also.
