screams and angry voices, which disturb

dignation among the humane citizens.
A committee Immediately interviewed
the Professor and his Nun, Offering the
latter their protection. The Professors
story was that Mrs. Aubrey had very
delicate constitution, and temperament
highly excitable and that she gener-
sily took her meals in her room to avoid
the iDquisitIve gaze and sometimes in
sulting treatment OF Catholic servants.
Edith, on her part boosted Of her Pro-
fsssor's gentleless and docility Is bus
band, and easily succeeded In impressing
upon the committee the notion that she
was more likely to thrash the Professor
than to submit TO drubbiDg from him.
She explained that she lived in . cauld-
ron of Catholic conspirscies against her
good name, ami that they we're trying to
run her crazy; that her screams had pro-
ceeded from mental and corporal suffer-
iugs consequent upon heartbreaking
disappointment OF their hopes OF Of

she or the Professor, or her agent. Mr..
Phillips, who gets half the receipts OF

a Shocking Murder

Was committed On Friday last, near Joncsvil,e,
by colored man named Waties Gis, upon the
body of his aged Grandmother.
The circumstances, as they were reported to
us, are as follows: Waties is undoubtedly crazy.
lie has been in the State Lunatic Asylum at least
once lie says the Lord commanded him to kill
his Granny" so he built up large fire in the
Fireplace, then took the axe and chopped her
head in two," and then put her on the fire,
where she was found by brother of Waties.-
The body was almostlpLnruel mp when fe.ud.
Wa!es was arrested and brought to Jail the fol-
lowing day, and appears as unconcorned about
the horrd crime he committed as if he had only
killed n mad dog.
Since the above was put in type we have
learned that Waties' lunacy is spasmodc, and
in his lucid intervals, since he has been in Jail,
be has evinced intense anguish for the crime he
committed.

BSa. The Grand and Petit Jurors Of this
County, drawn on the Goth ult have, no doubt,
been apprised by the Sheriff that their atten-
dance will be required by Judge Nortbrop at
Court next Monday. The Judge is anxious TO
please all parties, if he can do it "within the
Statutes" while our new Solicitor, Col Ball, will
be on hand az a terror to all law breakers. 1t
will be pleasant to have, once more, n sober and
honorable Solicitor, and to feel that every officer
of the Court, from the Judge to the constable,
will do their duty faithfully, irrespective of
political or personal entercst or bias. The day
Of bribery and corruption, in the Courts of this
Circuit, is, we believe, gone for ever, and with
it is passing away the inclination to commit
crimes and acts of violence which at one time
filed pages Of our session docket at every court
and kept up continual distrust and insecurity
in the minds Of all classes of the people. Stern
justice in our Courts, tempered with mercy,
never fails to command the respect and even
obedience of the most hardened criminals, and
is ever more potent in preventing crime and
maintaining the peace than too great leniency
toward evil doers, or the general belief that MOL
cy can purchase the aoquital of culprit.-
Keep our Courts pure, and just in its admins.
tratson of the laws, and the people will be
pure, orderly and prosperous.

THE YoRKvILLE EyoUIRER's PosITIoN.-In
the last issue Of the Yorkyile Enquirer, appears
- notice from J. l.. Watterson, former County
|Treasurer, informing the people Of York County
Ahat he is ready and desirous Of receiving thei4
State and County taxes for the year 1877. In
the same issue Of the Enquirer appears an edi.
torial article advising the people Of York to re-
spoud to this call, and urging them to pay their
County taxes promptly, on the ground that the
educational, charitable and penal institutions Of
the County are, OF soon will be, in very impe-
cuni8us condition.
!. II is easy TO understand that Chambcrlain's
appointtec should be ready to gobble up the
money of the taxpayers, but we confess that we
are somewhat ut loss to understand how the
Yorkville Enquirer. paper which is supported
by the.iaxpayers of York County, can advise the
people to recognize the Chamberlain usurpation.
Ii savors very strongly Of treason. The Hamp-
ton Herald, published at Rock Hill, gives the
ring of the true metal, when 1t says ave ad
wise our people not to pay one cent of taxes to
Mr.. Watson or any one els : who now ignores the
Hampton government and prefers allegiance to
the Chamberlain usurpation.-CH CHaTiesfo1 Jour
